An engagement soon followed at New York's famous Copacabana where Jerry Lewis caught her performance and immediately signed her to appear with him at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas and the Fountainbleau in Miami Beach. Audience response was so great that he then featured her on the next Jerry Lewis television special. Later she toured nightclubs throughout the United States and the world with Bill Cosby, Jackie Mason and David Brenner. Most recently in Atlantic City, Judy appeared with Don Rickles at Bally's Grand, Buddy Hackett at Resorts International and in the revue A NIGHT IN THE CA TSKILLS at Trump Plaza, performances which earned her both standing ovations and return engagements. Her career also includes television shows with Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin, records for RCA Victor and Decca, and appearances on major cruise lines. In addition to her solo act, Judy produced and performed with a fourteen-piece swing band called Sentimental Journey which is popular at corporate conventions and special events for seniors. Her next project is an original one-woman show to be presented in theatres and cabarets around the country.

Soroka Fwd: aventura signed form aventura.bmp; RESUME 12-08.doc Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: Dear Advisory Board, It is so exciting to see that the City of A ventura is becoming more invloved in sustaining our cultural society! I am a native of Miami Beach, lived & studied in NY city and have worked as a violinist in over 40 countries and throughout the United States. I have recently moved back to Miami for several reasons. One is to be near my family and friends, and the other is to raise the level of Miami's classical music so that it can be recognized as a strong force of education and performance throughout the country. I believe that my experiences and knowledge gained, along with A ventura's vision, share the same goals and aspirations for our S. Florida community. It would be fantastic to keep our community's cultural life alive and introduce new and exciting projects. Attached is the application form you request as well as a resume that lists many of the ensembles and experiences I have obtained over the years. Thank you in advance for your time and I wish you a Happy New Year!

I have a strong passion for the perfmming arts. 1 grew up in proCessional theater and would luve to be part of developing a perfonning arts center in Aventura, rlorida. In June of 2005 I sold my company to a public company which left me retired. I decided to work for the same company that purchased my company as one of their divifllon president until May of 2007 Since then I have been enjoying teaching adults various business courses on a part time basis at both Broward Community College and Broward County Publie Vocational Schools. T also currently assist a handful of schoolti by substituting for drama and musical da.,;ses for both Middle and lligh schools. I also enjoy volunteering at different public schools with their school productions along with volunteering at the beautiful Arsht Center of The Perfomling Arts of Miami Dade County. I am able to bring my successful business skills along with my knowledge and experience of the theater to the great city of Avcntura. I would work hard to bring the finest quality entertainment for the citizens of Aventura,. T have many ideas including bringing a chlldren's theatcr and drama classes along with regional productions to Aventura. I became a successful business perSl)n. tcacher and motivator through my experiences in the theater and would love to share and introduce the theater to both young and old of the city of Aventura. I live just outside the city limits of Avcntura in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida so the city of A ventura is just minutes away from my current residence.

Sherman, Director of Co SUBJECT: Aventura Express Shuttle Bus Transit Study Results Backaround: On October 14, 2008, the City contracted the Center for Urban Transportation Research, (CUTR) to analyze the current local transit service, and develop recommendations for improvements. CUTR's study included the following tasks: ~ Conduct a bus stop inventory to enable the accurate recording of passenger activity at bus stops and the on-time performance of the local circulator services. ~ Conduct ride checks to determine if schedule adjustments are necessary. ~ Conduct passenger surveys to collect information on passenger satisfaction, how often they use the service, demographic characteristics, trip purposes, and if there is a desire for improvements. In addition, CUTR talked with the bus drivers and City staff. ~ Analyze the transit service and make recommendations for service improvements. The surveys were conducted December 18 - 27, 2008 with over 350 surveys collected from the passengers. 95% of the passengers surveyed rated the overall service as good or very good. Passengers have been particularly complimentary of the drivers, and of the convenient service that the City provides. The results of the survey data was presented to the Community Services Advisory Board at their January 22, 2009 meeting, and they unanimously supported CUTR's recommendations for the proposed route changes. Proposed Route Chanaes: The proposed route changes are in response to the survey data to improve the frequency of service ratings (79%). The proposed route changes are: 1. Move Biscayne Lake Gardens from Blue to Red route. 2. Move Waterways Park from Blue to Red route. 3. Add Aventura Lakes stop to Red route. Eric M. Soroka, ICMA-CM, City Manager February 5, 2009 Page Two 4. Move Parc Central from Red to Green route. 5. Move Mystic Pointe 600 from Red to Green route. 6.

Reduce Hidden Bay stop to once per hour on Purple route. 9. Add Turnberry Towers to Green route. 10. Eliminate 2nd hourly stop at Del Prado on Yellow route. 11. Add Aventura by the Bay street stop to Purple route. 12. Delete Veterans Park stop from Purple route. In addition, we have had requests from Turnberry Towers and Turnberry Towers South to be included in the Green Route. These requests can be accommodated without significant delays. Passenaer Survey Data: A PowerPoint presentation outlining the results of the survey will be presented at the City Commission workshop meeting on February 19, 2009. The following data was obtained during the survey portion of the study.

Soroka, ICMA-CM, City Manager FROM: Commissioner Billy Joel DATE: February 6, 2009 SUBJECT: Donation of Michael Israel Sculpture to City by Aventura Marketing Council Recently I was approached by Elaine Adler regarding the idea of donating a sculpture of the original Aventura area prepared by Michael Israel in 1995. Michael Israel created it when the Aventura Marketing Council (AMC) commissioned him to do a custom piece for George Berlin. A picture of the sculpture is attached. There's a 'music conductor' and "orchestras' carved in metal that rise up from behind some of the buildings as the music begins... .with the flick of a switch. AMC's plan is to find some sponsors to help underwrite a portion of its value and then donate the sculpture to the City for display, along with a plaque recognizing the sponsors. This beautiful sculpture, truly a piece of Aventura's history, would be perfectly suited for public display in the Arts & Cultural Center. Michael Israel is a highly-regarded performing artist, and has been commissioned by the last few US Presidents to do paintings of them. I think the City should be honored to accept the gift and display it with pride so that all residents and visitors can enjoy viewing this beautiful sculpture. Therefore, please place this matter on the February Workshop Meeting in order to determine the interest of the City Commission to pursue the donation of the sculpture.
