UM, ARE THERE ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS? THERE ARE NINE.
UH, LET'S GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO OLD BUSINESS PARKS MANAGER UPDATE.
SO, UM, NOT A WHOLE LOT GOING ON.
UM, WELL, A LOT GOING ON, BUT NOT A WHOLE LOT AT THE SAME TIME.
UH, SUMMER MUSIC SERIES KICKS OFF THIS WEEKEND.
UH, WE HAD TO CANCEL OUR MAY 7TH SHOW DUE TO, UH, IMPENDING THUNDERSTORMS THAT NEVER HAPPENED.
UM, SO THIS WEEKEND WILL BE OUR FIRST SHOW.
HE'S A REPEAT PERFORMER FOR US.
HE PLAYED LAST YEAR AND, UH, THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AS WELL.
UM, MAY 7TH SHOW WAS RESCHEDULED FOR JULY 16TH.
EVERYONE WANTS TO WRITE THAT DOWN, ADD IT TO YOUR CALENDAR.
UM, WE GOT OUR FIRST MOVIE NIGHT, JUNE 26TH, AND, UH, WE HAVE VINCE THE ONLY TO BRING UP THE BIKE PARK AND SKATE PARK AND ALL THAT NOW, OR IS THAT LATER? I FORGET WHERE, OKAY, SO THE, A DIAL PARK PROJECT AND THE MONITA SKATE PARK AND BMX PARK, TWO SEPARATE PROJECTS, BOTH WENT OUT FOR RFPS.
UH, LAST FRIDAY THEY WERE PUT LIVE ONLINE.
UH, WE'RE, WE'RE SENDING OUT FOR, UH, PROPOSALS FOR THAT.
THE SKATE PARK IS ALL DESIGNED TO BUILD.
UM, SO IT WILL BE, WE HAVE THE PAD SIZE THAT WE WANT AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE KIND OF DESIGNED TO FIT THAT PAD.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE IN THAT BID TO REDO THE PARKING LOT AND THE ROAD COMING INTO MANITA FIELD BECAUSE THEY ARE IN A BAD SHAPE AS WELL.
THE BMX TRACK THAT, UM, WE ARE HOPING FOR WILL BE ARMORED GRAVEL.
SO IT WILL BE A DIRT BMX TRACK.
THEY'LL PUT GRAVEL OVER IT AND A SLURRY COAT THAT WILL KIND OF GLUE IT ALL TOGETHER.
UM, THE MAINTENANCE ON THAT LASTS FOR ABOUT A YEAR.
SO ABOUT ONCE A YEAR, WE GOT TO COME IN AND TOUCH THAT UP.
UM, WE DID HAVE SOME CITIZEN FEEDBACK FROM, UH, NICHOLAS LAMB, WHO WAS AT OUR MEETING BACK IN 2019, AND ALSO FROM A, UM, A LADY NAME, ANGELICA WHO IS WITH THE, UH, JIM CITY ROLLER GIRLS.
AND ON SUGGESTIONS OF SPECIFIC AMENITIES WE WANTED TO ASK FOR.
UH, SO THOSE AMENITIES WERE PUT IN THE BID, UM, SAYING, YOU KNOW, MUST INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, YOU KNOW, THESE FOUR ITEMS. UM, SO HOPEFULLY WHATEVER COMES FROM THAT DESIGN WILL BE GOOD FOR EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO USE IT.
UM, WE'RE HOPING THAT IT'LL HAVE A NICE PROGRESSION FOR KIDS ALL THE WAY UP TO ADULTS, DIFFERENT SIZE THINGS THAT EVERYBODY CAN USE AS FAR AS DIAL PARK GOES.
UM, IT IS ALSO DESIGNED TO BUILD, UH, WE DO HAVE, UH, SOME SPECIFICS FOR IT.
UM, WE HAD A LOCAL TRAIL DESIGNER WHO KIND OF LAID OUT, UM, TRAILS FOR THAT AREA WAS ABLE TO GET JUST OVER TWO MILES OF TRAILS IN JUST THE WOODS.
UH, SO WE'RE HOPING THAT WHOEVER COMES IN, THEY WILL USE THAT PLAN.
AND HE HAS PROVIDED US PERMISSION TO USE THAT ALL THE GPS FILES AND EVERYTHING.
UM, AND THEN THAT PROJECT WILL ALSO HAVE THE ASPHALT PUMP TRACK THAT WE DISCUSSED BEFORE.
UH, IT WILL ALSO HAVE A BICYCLE PLAYGROUND, WHICH WILL BE A GRAVEL PATH, WHICH YOU'LL HAVE DIFFERENT AMENITIES TO KIND OF GET KIDS USED TO RIDING WITH OBSTACLES.
UM, GENERALLY THERE'S A HOOP OR A TUNNEL THEY GO THROUGH THAT KIND OF BUILDS THAT SPATIAL AWARENESS.
SO THEY'RE USED TO RIDING BETWEEN TREES AND OVERGROWN EDGES.
UM, THERE'LL BE SOME UNEVEN TERRAIN, SOME ROLLERS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND THEN ALSO A ASPHALT CONTOURED PERIMETER SKILLS TRAIL.
SO ESSENTIALLY IT'S AN ASPHALT TRAIL THAT GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE OPEN AREA OF THE PROPERTY.
IT'LL HAVE DIFFERENT ELEVATION CHANGES.
UM, IT'LL HAVE SOME AMENITIES TO IT SUCH AS A BERM
[00:05:01]
TURN, WHICH IS SIMPLY JUST A WALL, UH, BUILT OUT A WOOD THAT KIND OF SLOPES UP AND BACK DOWN.AND THAT'LL BE FOR PEOPLE TO, TO KIND OF GET ON AND PRACTICE SOME OF THOSE, UM, SKILLS THEY'LL NEED IN THE WOODS AS WELL.
UM, AND THEN OF COURSE THE TRAILS IN THE WOODS, UM, WE WILL HAVE AT LEAST A MILE OF THOSE TRAILS WILL BE, UH, HEIKAL THE REST OF IT.
ONCE IT DROPS TO THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY, IT SLOPES DOWN PRETTY GOOD, AND IT'S NOT REALLY SAFE TERRAIN TO WALK ON, BUT WE'LL STILL HAVE SOME, UH, CYCLING TRAILS DOWN THERE.
SO BOTH OF THOSE PROJECTS ARE DUE JUNE 3RD, ALL BIDS HAVE TO BE IN BY THEN.
UM, I WILL BE ON VACATION AT THAT TIME, BUT I WILL BE REVIEWING THEM, UM, VIA EMAIL.
I, AND, UM, I'M NOT SURE WHEN COUNCIL WANTS A DECISION ON THAT, BUT I ASSUME NOT TOO LONG AFTER, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON COMMENTS? I KNOW THAT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION TO TAKE IN ALL AT ONCE.
ALEX, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? NOPE, NO COMMENT.
IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE.
WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE YMCA AT THE HEIGHTS OF BIG CHRIS.
WE STAND AT TWO 70 ON SHELTER RENTALS.
UM, WE ARE BOOKED ALL WEEKENDS THROUGH JUNE, UM, AT THIS TIME.
SO ACROSS THE PARK SYSTEM, UM, WE'RE BOOKED UP.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CALLING IN AND WANTING WEEKENDS THAT ALREADY BOOKED.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET THEM TO TAKE FRIDAYS OR, UH, LATER WEEKENDS AS WE WORK THROUGH THAT, UM, THIS SATURDAY FROM 12 TO FOUR, WE'VE GOT THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION DAY AT THE AQUATIC CENTER.
UM, WE WILL OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, UM, NEXT SATURDAY OF MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.
UM, IT WILL BE THE NINTH SEASON OF THE KROGER AQUATIC CENTER.
UM, SO, UM, YEAH, I MEAN, WE'RE, WE'RE THERE WE'RE TRAINING STAFF, YOU KNOW, UM, WE PASSED OUR HEALTH INSPECTION ON MONDAY.
AND, UH, FOR THOSE OF YOU ARE AWARE, CHRIS INVITED US AT THE LAST MEETING FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE AVAILABLE TO COME OUT ON THE 22ND TO GO TO THE AQUATIC CENTER.
AM I STILL CORRECT? PRESS YEP.
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S A GREAT COMMUNITY AMENITY.
UM, ONE CHANGE THAT WE DID MAKE, UM, IF YOU REMEMBER LAST YEAR DURING THE PANDEMIC, WE DID MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAY ONLY FOR A CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS RESIDENTS AND PASS HOLDERS.
UM, WE HAVE NOW EXTENDED THAT TO ALSO INCLUDE SUNDAYS.
SO FAMILIES THAT WORK ON, YOU KNOW, DURING THE WEEK, UM, THEY WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY ON SUNDAYS THAT LIVE IN THE CITY TO COME TO THE, THE AQUATIC CENTER, UM, EXCEPT FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND AND LABOR DAY WEEKEND.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S DIFFERENT THIS YEAR TOO.
AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT OTHER WAYS TO UTILIZE THE AQUATIC CENTER, UM, DURING TIMES THAT AREN'T NORMAL SWIM TIMES.
SO WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ADULTS SWIMMING IN THE LAP POOL IN THE MORNING.
UM, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SOME CLASSES IN THE LAZY RIVER.
UM, THEY USED TO WALK AGAINST THE CURRENT BECAUSE IT'S ONLY FOUR FOOT DEEP.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME OF THOSE OPTIONS TO GET IN PLACE ONCE WE GET PAST, UM, JUNE 3RD.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS ON THE DYES ON THE FLOOR? UM, TEAMS. OKAY, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE TODAY.
AND SO THE SWEARING SWEARING IN OF MRS. SMITH.
SO I CAN HAVE YOU STAND PLEASE AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
REPEAT AFTER ME, I STATE YOUR NAME, DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR MORE OR TO SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF OHIO, THE CHARTER ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS.
AND THEN I WILL HONESTLY, IN A PARSLEY AND DISCHARGE THE DUTIES OF MY OFFICE TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES REGULATIONS.
[00:10:03]
OKAY.SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM.
I'M GOING TO TURN THIS ONE OVER TO BLAKE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY UPDATES FOR ADOPT DEPART? UH, SO AS FAR AS DR.
PARK, NOT AT THE MOMENT, BUT I DO, UH, FOR A SPRING CLEANUP.
UM, SO I THINK, UH, I DECIDED JUNE 11TH, WHICH IS A SATURDAY, UM, TO DO A PARK CLEANUP AT THE, THE DOG PARK, THE DOG PARK, THE DOG PARK.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE MESSIER PARKS.
UH, WHEN I, WHEN I WENT TO SOME OF THE PARKS, THAT WAS ONE OF THE MICS, THE MESSIER ONE.
SO LET ME GIVE YOU ALL A BRIEF UPDATE PRINTED IT, LEFT IT ON THE DESK.
SO, SO THAT WAY YOU ALL ARE AWARE.
WE HAD A GREAT SHOW OUT FOR THE, UH, SPRING CLEANUP IN APRIL.
UM, BLAKE HELPED TO LEAD THAT CHARGE THERE.
SO WE ENDED UP GETTING MONTGOMERY COUNTY, UH, CLEAN UP VEHICLE, A TRAILER AROUND, UM, ENGAGED CITY WAS OUT THERE THAT WE HAD SOME OTHER VOLUNTEERS AS WELL.
UM, I THINK IT WAS A TOTAL OF 27, UM, INDIVIDUALS TO INCLUDE ADULTS, CHILDREN, AND ADULTS, YOUTH, AND CHILDREN, UM, OUT THERE HELPING THE COMMUNITY CENTER, UM, ENGAGE CITY, DID A GREAT JOB CLEANING OUT THAT OLD GARDEN BED THERE.
I HAVE A PICTURE AND I'LL SEND IT OUT TO YOU ALL.
IT TOOK A LOT OF, UH, DEBRIS AND A LOT OF, UM, VEGETATION THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO CLEAR OUT.
UM, SO THAT'S THE PREPARATION FOR OUR NEXT PROJECT THAT JOSH IS WORKING ON OVER THERE, WHICH IS DO A, UM, A FLAT I'M SORRY, A GARDEN BED OVER THERE AS WELL.
UM, HE'S ON WORKING WITH A INDIVIDUAL IS GOING TOWARDS THE EAGLE SCOUTS.
UM, SO, UH, SO HE'S GOING TO BE HELP BUILD THE, UH, THE FRAMES AROUND IT.
UM, WE ALSO ENDED UP CLEANING UP.
UM, LET'S SEE, WE WENT OVER TO, WE HAD SOME FOLKS GO OVER TO COTTONWOOD THOMAS CLOUD PARK ON WHERE THOMAS GOT PARK COMMUNITY PARK AND THEN DOWEL PARK, BUT THE FORWARD FALLS CREEK, SORRY, FALLS CREEK MIX MIXER.
UM, SO WE HAD SOMEONE OUT THERE, UM, YOU KNOW, VARIOUS SPOTS ABOUT THROUGHOUT THE CITY CLEANING UP.
UM, DON'T HAVE AN EXACT NUMBER OF BAGS, UM, RIGHT NOW, BUT I WOULD SAY IT'S A LOT OF DEBRIS, BICYCLES, WOOD THINGS.
YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, VARIOUS THINGS.
SO, UM, SO I THINK WE HAD A GOOD TURNOUT AT THAT TIME.
SO BLAKE'S GOING TO KEEP THIS GOING.
UM, AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP GETTING VOLUNTEERS OUT THERE TO HELP CLEAN UP THE PARKS AND JUST TRY AND BE VERY TARGETED, UM, WHEN, WITH THESE CLEANUPS AS WELL.
UM, SO I THINK THIS IS A GREAT THING THAT WE'RE DOING.
WE EVEN HAVE VOLUNTEERS OUT THERE NOW WHO ARE ACTUALLY TAKING IT UPON THEMSELVES TO GO OUT THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND PICK UP TRASH.
UM, SO I'M PROUD TO SEE THAT, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THAT THROUGHOUT THE SEATING.
AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE LESS OF, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE JUST THROWING TRASH AROUND AND LEAVING HIM IN DEPARTMENTS.
SO, UM, OUR JOB IS TO HELP KEEP OUR PARKS CLEAN.
UM, SO LET'S GET SOME MORE VOLUNTEERS TO, TO, TO KEEP THAT MISSION GOING.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? SORRY.
VINCENT GROUP THAT IS OUT AND ABOUT, UM, I DID REACH OUT TO THEM, UH, PROVIDED THEM WITH A BOX OF BAGS AND, UH, PROBABLY A DOZEN OR SO OF THOSE REFLECTIVE VESTS THAT WE HAD.
UM, AND THEY ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS.
SO IF YOU'RE ON FACEBOOK AND YOU SEE THEIR GROUP, UM, I FORGET EXACTLY WHAT IT'S CALLED, BUT I CAN SEND IT TO EVERYBODY, BUT THEY KIND OF POST ON THERE WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO BE OUT AND ABOUT, AND THEY DON'T JUST GO TO THE PARKS.
THEY WENT TO THE SHAKE SHACK AND PICKED UP A BUNCH OF STUFF DOWN THERE.
UM, SO WE DID ADVISE THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT GOING ALONG ROADWAYS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BECAUSE THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS, BUT THEY HAVE GOTTEN A LOT.
UM, SO YEAH, DEFINITELY IF YOU SEE THEM AND YOU HAVE TIME TO HOP IN AND LEND THEM A HAND, THEY COULD USE IT.
THERE'S I THINK ON AVERAGE, THERE'S THREE OF THEM THAT ARE OUT THERE DOING IT EVERYDAY.
BRIAN, YOU SAID JUNE 11TH ON A FRIDAY.
UM, AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND MAKE A FACEBOOK INVITE FOR THAT.
AND THEN, UM, I'LL WORK ON GETTING THE GRABBERS IN TRACK.
UH, TRASH BAGS YOU COULD PROBABLY GET FROM THE JOSH GRABBERS, PROBABLY A DIFFERENT STORY, BUT I THINK WE CAN PROBABLY PROBABLY GET A COUPLE, UH, SO MY PLAN WAS TO JUST DO THE PERIMETER AND MUST BE LIKE SAW KIND OF
[00:15:07]
OH YEAH.I'LL BE OVER AT THE FARMER'S MARKET.
I'LL BE AT THE FARMER'S MARKET MULTITASK, SO.
IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT? SO THANK YOU, BLAKE.
I'M GOING TO ADD YOU AS AN ADMIN ON TO THE PARKS AND REC FACEBOOK PAGE, SO YOU CAN JUST CREATE AN AD.
UM, AND THEN JOSH ALSO HAS THE ABILITY TO I'LL SEND IT TO YOU.
UM, WE CAN GET A VOLUNTEER LIST GOING FOR THAT TOO.
UM, AND I WILL SEND THAT OVER TO YOU.
WE JUST NEED TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH JOSH TO FIGURE OUT WHO SUBMITTED THEIR NAMES THROUGH THAT TOO.
SO, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE'RE TRYING TO COLLECT NAMES TOO WITH ALSO TRYING TO COLLECT THEM AND TRACK HOURS FOR THE CITY, UM, OF, YOU KNOW, NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS THAT WE'VE HAD, THE NUMBER OF HOURS THAT THEY'VE BEEN SERVING, UM, THE CITY.
UM, SO I'M TRYING TO TRACK A LOT OF THAT TO SEE WHAT THE DATA LOOKS LIKE, BUT THIS YEAR I STILL CAN HELP IMPROVE IT FOR NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE AS YOU ALL WILL SEE, UM, COMPARED TO LAST YEAR OR PREGNANT, IT'S LIKE 20, 20 OUT OF THE EQUATION PREPARE TO 2019.
WE ARE RAMPING UP WHEN IT COMES TO VOLUNTEER HOURS.
SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO TRACK THAT AND PROVIDE THAT TO TONY AND JOSH AND SARAH.
SO THAT WAY THEY HAVE THOSE NUMBERS AND WE CAN CONTINUE TO GROW AND ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A GOOD LIST OF VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE WILLING TO SERVE, SERVE WITH THE CITY, UM, FOR DIFFERENT THINGS, JOSH, WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT OF VOLUNTEERS, UH, THIS SATURDAY, UM, AT TWO O'CLOCK, WE HAVE OUR, UH, FAMILY TENNIS CAMP AT CLOUD PARK.
UH, IT'S GONNA RUN FROM TWO TO THREE 30, IT'S JUST AN HOUR AND A HALF.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE DIFFERENT STATIONS SET UP WORKING WITH A GENTLEMAN FROM UT HIS NAME'S WILL HARPER.
HE'S A SENIOR, UH, TENNIS PLAYER THERE.
AND, UH, HE'S GOING TO KIND OF BE LEADING THE CAMP WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.
I BELIEVE WE HAVE ABOUT NINE OR 10 VOLUNTEERS, BUT WE HAVE 75 PEOPLE SIGNED UP FOR THE CAMP.
SO IF ANYBODY ON THE BOARD, ALEX, SHE CAN'T SEE ME, BUT I'M LOOKING AT YOU.
UM, IF ANYBODY ON THE BOARD, YOU KNOW, WANTS TO COME AND HELP WITH SOME TENNIS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TENNIS, BUT JUST BE ABLE TO BE OUT THERE AND KIND OF GUIDE PEOPLE THROUGH THE STATIONS.
UM, WE WOULD NEED VOLUNTEERS THERE AT ONE O'CLOCK.
UM, AGAIN, THE, UH, PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ON THE COURT AT TWO, AND THEN WE WILL ALSO HAVE KONA ICE.
THEY'RE PASSING OUT, UM, THEIR, UH, SHAVE ISIS TO THE TICKET HOLDERS FOR THE CAMP AND VOLUNTEERS AND STUFF.
SO IF ANYONE'S INTEREST IN, PLEASE NOTIFY JOSH.
YOU HEAR THAT ALEX GOT YOUR BEST.
YOU TRY TO SAY, GO AHEAD AND NOTIFY JOSH AGAIN, JOSH.
HE KNOW WHERE I'LL BE AT YOUR BACKUP.
SO I'LL BE AT THE FARMER'S MARKET THAT DAY AND, AND CINDY WILL BE THERE AS WELL, BUT SYDNEY, UM, WHAT DAY WAS IT AGAIN? SATURDAY, I'LL BE LEAVING TO GO DOWN THERE AND SET UP.
AND SO IF YOU WANT TO GO DOWN THERE, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO DO THAT.
I THINK I HAVE THREE CYLINDERS AND THREE'S EASY TO CHECK.
DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING BRIAN? GLENN? DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING? OKAY.
YOU GUYS HAVE ANYTHING? ALRIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE.
A DISCUSSION ON PARK'S PRIORITY LIST.
SO I KNOW THAT A FEW OF YOU WENT OUT TO THE PARKS, UM, OVER THE LAST MONTH, UM, JUST TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE PODS AND TO LOOK, AND MAYBE IT HELPED PROVIDE IDEAS ON WHAT WE SHOULD ADD TO OUR PRIORITY LIST.
UM, SO WHAT I WILL DO IS I'LL FIRST START WITH RYAN, CAUSE I KNOW I RECEIVED SOMETHING FROM HIM AND THEN I'LL GO OVER TO BLAKE AND THEN WE'LL ALSO I'LL ADD INTO THE LIST.
I WAS, UH, OVER AT, UH, COTTONWOOD AND, UH, HAD THE OPPORTUNITY JUST TO GO OUT.
THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE.
I MEAN, SEVERAL FAMILIES WITH THEIR KIDS AND EVERYTHING.
I DIDN'T WANT TO STEP IN ON THEIR, UH, THEIR TURF, SO TO SPEAK, BUT, UH, DID NOTICE, UH, UM, BASKETBALL COURTS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN YEARS PAST HAD SOME CRACKS.
UM, THERE WERE NEXT JUST ON THE ONE COURT, BUT NOT ON THE SECOND ONE, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME I DRIVE BY THERE, THE FIRST COURT IS ALWAYS
[00:20:01]
ONE BEING UTILIZED.UM, AND MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE NO NETS ARE ON THE SECOND ONE, I DON'T KNOW.
BUT, UM, THERE WEREN'T ANY KIDS PLAYING THAT DAY.
AND THEN THE, UH, I WAS, UH, IN THE AFTERNOON, THERE WAS NO BASEBALL ON THE BACK DIAMONDS THERE AS WELL.
SO, UM, BUT I MEAN, IT'S, UH, THE, THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT SEEMED IN GREAT SHAPE.
UH, UH, AGAIN, I DIDN'T GET ON IT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I DON'T THINK I'D FIT TOO WELL, BUT, UM, IT, UH, IT'S A GREAT PARK.
IT'S JUST A, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE, A COUPLE OF MINUTES FROM THE HOUSE AND EVERYTHING.
SO, UM, DEFINITELY BEING USED.
NOW WE'LL GO OVER TO BLAKE TO START WITH COTTONWOOD FIRST.
SO RON, I, I KIND OF SAW A LOT OF THE SIMILAR STUFF THAT YOU DID.
UM, BASKETBALL COURT COULD PROBABLY USE SOME WORK AS FAR AS LIKE REPAVING IT, UM, OR AT LEAST FILLING IN SOME CRACKS, UM, REPLACING THE, EITHER THE NETS, THE HOOPS WITH NO NETS, UM, OR LIKE DAMAGED NETS.
UM, I ALSO NOTICED IN THE BASEBALL FIELDS, A COUPLE OF THE BENCHES WERE KIND OF LIKE DANGEROUS CONDITION, MAYBE BROKEN OR BENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, AND THEN I ACTUALLY HAD SOMEBODY THAT WAS THERE.
UH, I ASKED THEM KIND OF WHAT THEY'D LIKE TO SEE OUT OF THE PARK.
AND THEY ACTUALLY DREW ME A, UH, KIND OF A PICTURE THAT I WAS IN MY EMAIL.
UM, SO I WON'T SHOW EVERYBODY, BUT IT'S KIND OF A, A PICTURE LIKE LAYOUT OF WHAT, HOW THEY, THEY THINK IT WOULD BE A COOL USE OF THE PARK SPACE.
UM, SO LIKE ADDING A SPLASH PAD.
UM, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, UH, ACCORDING TO OUR, UM, LIKE PARKS, UM, WHAT'S IT CALLED? IT'S LIKE THE PARK SERVICE THEY DID A COUPLE YEARS AGO, THE MASTER PLAN, THE MASTER PLAN.
UM, THAT, THAT AREA, THAT PARK IS ACTUALLY PLUMBED FOR A WATER FEATURE, UM, ALREADY.
SO THEY THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, ADDING A, LIKE A WALL, A SPLASH PAD OR A WATER FEATURE WOULD BE KIND OF COOL.
UM, AS WELL AS I THINK WE TALKED PREVIOUSLY ABOUT, UM, HAVING LIKE A WALKING PATH, LIKE A LOT OF THE PARKS HAVE A WALKING PATH AROUND THE PERIMETER.
UM, I THINK THAT'D BE A, A GOOD USE OF SPACE THERE TOO.
UM, SO THAT WAS COTTONWOOD AND I WON'T GO INTO ALL THE PARKS THAT THEY WENT TO, BUT THERE WERE, THERE WERE A COUPLE LIKE, UH, THEMES FOR ALL THE PARKS THAT I THOUGHT WE COULD, WE COULD IMPLEMENT.
UM, FIRST OFF, I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY RECYCLING BINS, UH, IN ANY OF THE PARKS THAT I, I WENT TO.
SO THAT'S LIKE COTTONWOOD COMMUNITY THOMAS CLOUD, UM, THE DOG PARK AND, UH, COMMUNITY GARY SHERMAN, UM, AND SHUL.
SO, UH, I THINK IT'D BE KIND OF NEAT IF WE HAD RECYCLING BINS, UM, ESPECIALLY LIKE PLACES LIKE, UH, CLOUD, WHERE YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF SPORTS EVENTS, PEOPLE THROWING ALL THEIR, THEIR GATORADE BOTTLES IN THE TRASH.
SO MAYBE JUST ADD SOME OF THOSE HIGHER YIELD PARKS, UM, MIGHT BE A COOL THING TO DO.
UM, SO RECYCLING, AND THEN I ALSO NOTICED THAT SHAWL PARK, UM, THEY'VE GOT LIKE A LITTLE LIBRARY SET UP, SO LIKE, UH, IT'S LIKE A, IT'S LIKE A BOX WITH SOME, SOME LIKE CHILDREN'S BOOKS IN IT.
AND, UM, PEOPLE CAN JUST ADD AND TAKE BOOKS AS THEY WANT IT.
UM, I THINK THAT'D BE KIND OF A NEAT THING TO DO SOME OTHER PARKS TO, TO, TO GET BOOKS OUT TO KIDS.
JOSH, WE HAVE SOME SCOUT TROOPS, ACTUALLY WE HAVE ONE LITTLE LIBRARY ALREADY BUILT, UM, A GIRL SCOUTS BUILT IT AND IT'S GOING TO GO ACROSS THE CREEK AT CLOUD NEXT TO THE NEW PLAYGROUND.
AND, UH, SHANNON TEAKS, MARTIN BEAUTIFICATION REACHED OUT.
SHE HAS THREE MORE THAT WILL BE DONE OVER THE SUMMER.
SO WE'RE GOING TO PUT THOSE AT OTHER LOCATIONS AS WELL.
SO WE SHOULD HAVE A TOTAL OF FIVE, UH, BY THE END OF THE SUMMER.
SO, UM, THE ONE THAT IS AT SHOAL GATE RIGHT NOW, ONE OF THE TEACHERS, SHE'S AN ELEMENTARY TEACHER AND HUBER SCHOOLS.
UM, AND THEN I KNOW SHANNON TAKES, I THINK, I BELIEVE INITIALLY SHE TALKED TO SOMEBODY WITH THE DOLLAR BOOK SWAP THAT SAID THEY WOULD COME OUT AND KIND OF KEEP TRACK OF THEM.
BUT I THINK, UH, SOME OF THEM WILL BE DONE BY THE INDIVIDUALS WHO BUILT THEM AS WELL.
UM, I DO PERIODICALLY INSPECT THE ONE AT SHELL GATE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT LEAKING, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT DAMAGED, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, WE'VE HAD TO DO A COUPLE OF REPAIRS ON IT JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THOSE THINGS AROUND THE ELEMENTS.
UM, BUT I MEAN, THEY DO GET USED A LOT, SO, UH, IT'D BE NICE TO HAVE OTHER ONES GREAT.
SOME PLACES DON'T WANT TO PUT THEM, BUT THE PLACES THAT WE WILL PUT THEM, ALL RIGHT, VINCE, UH, UH, BLAKE, I DO APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENT ON THE, THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDING SOME, SOME TREES OUT THERE IN GLEN.
YOU MIGHT HAVE MY MEMORY ON THIS, BUT WE HAD A GENTLEMAN
[00:25:01]
THAT CAME A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND, UH, IN THE YEAR HAD HIS EXCESS INVENTORY OF TREES AND THAT TYPE OF THING.I DON'T KNOW, HE CAME IN, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE HAD TO DO WAS GO PICK THEM UP OR WHATEVER, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MAYBE IN THE FALL, UH, SOME ADDITIONAL TREES COULD BE PLANTED OUT THERE.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.
UM, THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM FOR A STRATEGICALLY PLACED TAGGED GUEST.
AND THEN, UH, JOSH, I THINK I DID THE FOLLOW-UP QUESTION.
THE PARK BUTTS UP AGAINST THE CHURCH THERE, THE MAIN ROAD COMING IN THERE IS THAT PARKING ON THE RIGHT.
AND DOES THE CHURCH ALLOW ON THE LARGER EXTERIOR TO PARK IN THERE WITHOUT ANY, I MEAN, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH, UM, THE CHURCH COMPLAINANT ABOUT ANYTHING OR ANYTHING, DO YOU? UM, I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.
I KNOW PROBABLY FIVE YEARS AGO WHEN MY KIDS PLAYED, UM, T-BALL AND CHUCK DURAND'S LEAGUE, WHEN WE WERE THERE, THE WHOLE CHURCH PARKING LOT WOULD GET FILLED UP WITH T-BALL PARENTS AND THERE NEVER SEEMED TO BE ANY ISSUE WITH IT.
BUT EVEN ON SUNDAY MORNINGS, WHEN THEIR CHURCH PARKING LOT GETS FULL PEOPLE PARK AT COTTONWOOD AS WELL.
SO WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD RELATIONSHIP THERE.
UH, THEY USE THE SHELTER A LOT FOR CHURCH EVENTS AND THINGS.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE KIND OF MAINTAINED THAT RELATIONSHIP AND NEVER REALLY HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM.
YOU LET YOU ASK ABOUT THE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS HERE TWO YEARS AGO WITH PLANT MATERIAL.
MOST OF THAT WAS, UM, ORNAMENTAL AND FLOWERS AND THINGS THAT WERE LEFT OVER FROM THEIR MAIL ORDER SHIPMENTS.
NOW YOU GET TREES, YOU COULD PROBABLY GET TREES AT THE SAME TIME, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO PLANT THEM UNTIL FALL.
SO WE'D HAVE TO HAVE A WAY OF STORING THEM AND KEEPING THEM ALIVE, WHICH WOULD PROBABLY FALL ON JOSH'S SHOULDERS.
I DON'T THINK IT'D BE HARD TO DO, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE DEAD.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE DEDICATED.
YEAH, WE DID THAT A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN WE BOUGHT A BUNCH OF TREES, ALL THE TREES FOR TWO OH ONE, AND WE ACTUALLY ENDED UP JUST GETTING A BIG PILE OF MULCH AND HEALING THEM INTO THE BULGE RATHER THAN THE SOAKER HOSE AROUND THE FRONT OF HER FIVE HOURS A DAY, WE CAN FIND SOMEWHERE TO PUT THEM, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO GET SOME, BUT IDEALLY A PLACE LIKE BROWNS IN THE FALL WHERE WE COULD GO AND GET A LOAD THAT WAY.
AND THEN WE COULD ALMOST START INSTALLING, WELL, YOU GO TO BROWNS, YOU COULD GO TO, UH, SCARFS SEMEN DOLLARS, UH, STUDEBAKERS.
THERE'S A LOT OF NURSERIES IN OUR AREA THAT HAD, WOULD HAVE, UH, I MEA PERF PURR, PURR, PURR, PERSONALLY, I WOULD PREFER TO HAVE THE TREES DUG IN THE FALL AND PLANTED IN THE FALL.
AND THAT'S I, CAUSE I THINK YOUR SUCCESS RATE IS GOING TO BE A LOT HIGHER AS FAR AS KEEPING THEM ALIVE.
UM, BUT IF WE DO GET ANY EARLY SPRING, MID SUMMER, EARLY SUMMER, I WOULD GO AHEAD AND PLANT THEM, BUT I DEFINITELY HAVE TO KEEP THEM WHAT WATER AND WE HAVE.
UH, WE HAVE OUR ARBORISTS THAT WE WORK WITH THAT GOES AROUND ALL THE PARTS AND HE TREATS ALL OF OUR TREES IN THE PARK AT THE ROSE MUSIC CENTER.
HE DOES WORK FOR THE STREET DEPARTMENT ON THE BASIL ONE.
SO ANYTHING WE PUT IN, HE'S GOING TO KEEP AN EYE ON.
JUST MAKING SURE THOSE GATOR BAGS, STAPLE, AND YOU KNOW, SOME AREAS THAT WE'LL PUT THE TREES IN ARE NOT, NO, THE SOIL IS NOT THE GREATEST INVESTMENTS, RIGHT.
BUT I THINK WHAT'S, I THINK IF WE GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE LOOKING AT IT, THEY'RE GOING TO GO IN THERE, WHOEVER WHOEVER'S GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PLANNING OF THE TREES, THE FINAL, AND THEY DIG NOSE AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW YAY OR NAY WHETHER THE TRIO SUCCEED THERE OR NOT.
UM, I STILL WOULD LIKE TO SEE US CREATE A LIST OF TREES FOR OUR AREA, PREFERABLY NATIVES AND PREFERABLY TREES THAT HAVE HAD A GOOD SUCCESS RATE IN HUBER HEIGHTS AREA, BECAUSE WE ARE ALKALINE SOIL HERE.
WE DON'T WANT, UH, RIGHT NOW I CAN'T THINK OF ANY MORE THAN THAT ONE.
THAT'S ONE THAT STANDS OUT ALL THE TIME, THAT THAT LIST TOO WOULD LEND TO SOMETHING ELSE THAT VINCE AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT A LOT AND HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT HERE IS OUR MEMORIAL TREE PROGRAM.
BECAUSE IF WE HAVE A LIST OF TREES, WE KNOW THAT IT'LL SUCCEED AND WE KNOW ROUGHLY HOW MUCH THEY COST.
I MEAN, THOSE PRICES FLUCTUATE, UM, THAT WE CAN HAVE THAT PROGRAM SET UP.
SO IF SOMEBODY CALLS AND SAYS, HEY, YOU KNOW,
[00:30:01]
X, Y, Z, ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS PICK IT OFF THE LIST, WRITE THE CHECK, AND WE CAN GET IN THEIR EAR WITH IT.AND TO, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT, YOU MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION, HEY, I KNOW YOU WANT THIS NOW, BUT LET'S WAIT TILL FALL, YOU KNOW, SO WE CAN ENSURE THE LIFE OF THE TREE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SEE ME, CHRIS, I DO HAVE SOMETHING ON, UH, THE SHELL GATE PARK.
UH, WE WERE UP THERE A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH WE HAD PRACTICE FOR ONE OF THE TEAMS I COACH, UH, THE SHELTER UP THERE SEEMS TO HAVE A TON OF CARPENTER BEES EVERYWHERE.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE CITY HAS SOMEBODY THAT GOES OUT AND TREAT FOR THOSE OR CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
BUT, UM, I MEAN, GENERALLY THE CARPENTER BATTERIES, WE'VE, WE'VE, WE'VE GONE OUT AND TRIED TO BEFORE.
UM, CAMPBELL'S AND STUFF IN THERE.
UM, THERE'S NOT MUCH THAT WE CAN DO.
UH, I KNOW ANYTIME AGAIN, APPLYING LAW OR ORDINANCE OR OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND, UH, ALL OF OUR INTERVIEWS ARE BAD WITH THOSE FOUR SHOWERS.
UM, I JUST SOMETHING I NOTICED WHEN I WAS UP THERE AND THEN THEY HAVE TWO BASEBALL DIAMONDS THERE, I BELIEVE, WELL, I'LL CALL THEM BASEBALL.
DIAMONDS ARE BASICALLY THE CAGE WITH SOME GRASS GROWING.
SO I DON'T KNOW PART OF THE SPECTRUM I'VE SEARCHING FOR A COMPANY FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS THAT DOES REGULAR FIELD MAINTENANCE.
I CAN FIND COMPANIES THAT WILL COME IN AND DO THEM ONCE AND GET THEM BACK TO NEW.
BUT I CAN'T FIND ANYBODY WHO WILL COME IN ON A REGULAR BASIS.
UH, THOSE TWO FIELDS OF SHOAL GATE AND USED TO BE MAINTAINED BY A RESIDENT THAT LIVED OVER THERE AND HE NO LONGER DOES THOSE.
UM, BECAUSE WE ALSO HAVE A TEAM THAT'S USING MONITA FIELD.
UM, AND, AND WE WENT OUT AND I WANT TO SAY DRUG IT, WE USE THE YORK BREAK AND JUST TORE IT UP.
AND THEN THEY'VE BEEN MAINTAINING THE ONE IN JUANITA.
UM, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT OR THE MANPOWER TO DO THEM REGULARLY.
UM, SO IF ANYBODY KNOWS OF A COMPANY THAT DOES THAT REGULARLY, PLEASE SEND THEM MY WAY.
UM, I KNOW, UH, BOB BEER DOES IT FOR, UM, WHO'S OUT THERE RIP, RAP, WHOEVER THE IS BRICK CITY OR WHOEVER.
AND HE USED TO DO IT AT CLOUD WHEN BRICK CITY WAS AT CLOUD AS WELL, BUT NOW SOFTBALL TAKES CARE OF THEIR OWN FIELDS.
AND BOB DOESN'T OWN THAT EQUIPMENT.
AND HE SAID, IF HE DID, HE APPLIED TO DO IT FOR US, BUT THAT EQUIPMENT BELONGS TO BRICK CITY.
UM, SO AGAIN, IF ANYBODY KNOWS THAT SOMEBODY THAT DOES THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, SEND THEM MY WAY, I WOULD LOVE TO FIND SOMEONE TO KEEP ALL THESE FIELDS.
CAUSE EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT BEING USED REGULARLY, YOU KNOW, YOU WANT THEM TO LOOK NICE BECAUSE THEN PEOPLE WILL COME AND USE THEM.
AND THEN I KNOW WE'VE TALKED, I THINK IT WAS LAST MEETING ABOUT BASKETBALL EVENTS.
AND I THINK THAT HE'D BEEN COTTONWOOD COMMUNITY'S GOSPEL ISSUE WITH NOT BEING THERE.
AND THEN I KNOW WE MENTIONED THE COMMUNITY CENTER, PUTTING THEM UP THERE.
UH, DID WE EVER GET AROUND TO THAT? I'VE I'VE GOT THE STREET DEPARTMENT GET ME A COUNT ON HOW MANY WE HAVE.
AND THEN, UM, BUT I'LL HAVE THEM GO AHEAD AND START PUTTING THEM UP.
I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAD FOR SHOCK.
CAUSE I WENT WHILE WE WERE THERE AND WALKED AROUND AND LOOK PERFECT.
SO THE WALKING PATH TALKING ABOUT BASKETBALL, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE POINT.
THEY HAVE BASKETBALL COURTS NORTH OF 70, AND THEN I MISSED.
CAUSE I REMEMBER, UH, I THINK I'LL DO SOMETHING.
SOMETHING NEEDS TO FIND AN AQUATIC CENTER WAS BROUGHT UP LAST YEAR.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WAS STILL, WHAT WAS THE LAST PART? THE AQUATIC CENTER, THE, THE PUTTING THE BASKETBALL COURT THERE AROUND THAT WAS BROUGHT UP LAST YEAR.
I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS BY CHRIS OR JOSH OR IT WAS, IT WAS BY ME, VINCE AND I HAD DISCUSSED IT.
AND I'M TALKING ABOUT THE AREA IN FRONT OF THE RESTROOMS BEHIND THE AMPHITHEATER.
UM, BUT IT'S, IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE, YOU KNOW, SEEING WHEN WE CAN FIT IT IN, BECAUSE WE GOT THREE PLAYGROUNDS THAT ARE COMING UP TO 25 YEARS OLD, UM, ALL IN THE SAME YEAR.
UM, SO IT'S, I'VE GOT, I'VE GOT IT IN THE CIP AT SOME POINT, I WANT TO SAY, WELL, THINGS GOT SKEWED AROUND A LITTLE BIT.
I WANT TO SAY IT WAS IN THERE FOR 23 POSSIBLY.
UM, BUT WE ALSO HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE COURTS THAT COTTONWOOD THAT NEED REDONE, UM, AND THE COURTS AT COMMUNITY ARE GOING TO NEED REDONE, UM, PICKLEBALL AND BASKETBALL.
SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE IT'S LIKE, ONCE I, ONCE I CAN GET CAUGHT UP, YOU KNOW, INSTALLING NEW WOULD BE GREAT.
I'M LOOKING FOR GRANTS AND STUFF THAT COULD DO IT AS WELL.
BUT I WAS ABOUT TO SAY, I WOULD SPENDING MONEY WISE, YOU KNOW, I, I, MYSELF PREFER
[00:35:01]
FIXING, YOU KNOW, COTTONWOOD AND COMMUNITY, WHAT WE HAVE THERE FIRST, BEFORE WE GO NORTH OF 70.BUT I KNOW THERE WAS PEOPLE ASKING ME.
AND I AGREE IT'S DEFINITELY NEEDED BECAUSE I THINK COMMUNITY IS THE NORTHERN MOST COURTS WE HAVE, BECAUSE I THINK THE SCHOOLS, ONCE, ONCE COVID HIT THE SCHOOLS TOOK MOST OF THEIR HOOPS DOWN AND THEY'VE NEVER BEEN PUT BACK UP.
AND EVEN WHEN THEY ARE UP, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S NECESSARILY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
UM, I MEAN, I KNOW PEOPLE DO GO UP THERE, BUT YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALWAYS, I THINK, NERVOUS TO GO UP THERE.
SO DEFINITELY IT IS, UM, IT IS MUCH NEEDED AND I WISH THERE WAS ROOM MICHELLE PARK TO PUT IT, UM, CAUSE I THINK IT'D BE GREAT THERE, BUT WE DON'T, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALREADY NOT ENOUGH PARKING.
THIS CONVERSATION IS GOING IN.
THE DIRECTION THAT I THINK HAS BEEN SINCE JOSH HAS COME ON, BOARD IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL AT BEST RECOGNIZE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF PARKS, NOTHING, NOTHING AGAINST OUR GREAT STREET DEPARTMENT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO NEED DOWN THE ROAD DEDICATED PERSONNEL TO TAKE CARE OF OUR PARKS.
AND I TRIED, THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS TESTIMONY RIGHT THERE.
AND I THINK WE, AS A PARK BOARD NEED TO PICK HIS BRAIN AND FIGURE OUT WHAT SIZE CREW WE CAN GET TO START OUT WITH IT FOR FIVE, 10, WHAT EVER, AND THE BALL DIAMONDS, BABY BE TAKEN CARE OF, THEN BASKETBALL COURTS, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
AND I WOULDN'T TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ON THE CARPENTER BEES WHILE I CARPENTER BEES WILL DO NOT STAY ALL THEY ARE IS THEY MAKE PEOPLE NERVOUS.
THEY'LL TRY TO BITE YOU, BUT THEY'RE NOT BAD.
YOU CAN USE TO CATCH AND RELEASE THEM ONCE THEY'RE IN THOSE TRAPS.
HERE'S I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT WE, YOU CAN'T, THE BEE IS GONE WHEN IT GETS IN THE DRIP.
IT'S JUST, AND MY WIFE WON'T LET ME PUT IT UP FOR THAT SAME REASON.
BUT BACK TO THE THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT AS FAR AS PARK PERSONNEL, THINK THAT CREATES ANOTHER QUICK SEGUE FOR ME, GLENN, I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP.
IF ANYBODY KNOWS OF AN 18 OR OLDER STUDENT WITH A DRIVER'S LICENSE, I HAVE HAD THE, UH, SUMMER HELP SEASONAL POSITIONS POSTED SINCE JANUARY, WE'VE HAD FOUR NO-SHOW INTERVIEWS AND HAVE NOT HIRED A SINGLE SEASONAL SUMMER HELP EMPLOYEE.
UM, SO AGAIN, IF ANYBODY KNOWS, IF ANYBODY 18 YEARS OLD WANTS TO WORK PART TIME, HELPING OUT WITH THE PARKS THIS SUMMER, HAVE THEM GET ON THE WEBSITE AND FILL ON THAT.
KEISHA CLARKS AND THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS, WHATEVER COUNTY, MIAMI COUNTY, VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS THEY'LL HAVE PEOPLE.
AND I HAVE A NAME FOR, UM, MIAMI BALLET, CTC.
UM, WE HAVE ANOTHER INTERVIEW TOMORROW.
THIS WILL BE OUR, HOPEFULLY OUR FIRST SHOW UP INTERVIEW.
SO HAVE YOU SAID ANYTHING TO THE, LIKE THE HIGH SCHOOL FOR GRADUATING SENIORS? I DON'T KNOW WHAT, WHERE I KNOW IT'S BEEN ONLINE SINCE JANUARY AND WE'RE GETTING READY TO PUT IT ON THE BIG BILLBOARD DOWN THE CLOUD AS WELL.
SO GENERALLY WE GET, YOU KNOW, EXCEPT FOR LAST YEAR IN THE PAST, WE DIDN'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF PROBLEM OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, GETTING HIM TO STAY THE WHOLE TIME.
SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS FOR THE STAFF DISCUSSION, JOSH, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, WE WILL, WE'LL START TALKING ABOUT THAT AFTER WE DO OUR SUBMISSION FOR THE, UM, REPAIRS AND UM, FOR OUR PRIORITY LIST OF REPAIRS IN OUR PRIORITY LIST, WE'LL START HAVING THAT DISCUSSION WITH JOSH JUST TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE DO THAT AND WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? UM, CAUSE I SUSPECT
[00:40:01]
THERE ARE THINGS, OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAPPEN IN ORDER FOR THAT TO, UM, COME INTO PLAY.SO, UM, SO WE'LL START THAT DISCUSSION, UM, NEXT MONTH AND THEN WE'LL CONTINUE THAT UNTIL WE GET TO WHERE WE WANT.
MY GOAL IS I WANT TO HAVE IT DONE WHEN OUR, FROM, FROM OUR DONE AND SUBMITTED BY, LET'S SAY SEPTEMBER, THAT'LL BE QUICK, BUT WE'LL, I PROBABLY HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING IN BETWEEN THERE, OR WE'LL HAVE TO ASSIGN A COUPLE OF FOLKS THAT WORK WITH JOSH TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
WELL, IT, IT, IT WON'T HAPPEN THAT FAST.
SO I THINK THERE'S, WE JUST HAVE TO COME UP WITH A GOOD PLAN, WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
UM, AND I THINK, UM, I THINK RIGHT NOW I WOULD SAY WE ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH TO WHERE WE ARE TO WHERE WE WANT TO BE, WHERE WE WANT TO END UP WE'RE ON THAT RIGHT PATH.
AND THIS IS JUST ANOTHER THING TO ADD ON TO IT.
SO, UM, BUT YEAH, SO WE'LL DEFINITELY HAD STARTED HAVING A CONVERSATION AND WE'LL TRY AND GET THAT DONE AND COMPLETED BY SEPTEMBER.
SO, UM, WHAT I WILL ASK IS START THINKING ABOUT SOMEBODY'S IDEAS AND THEN THINKING ABOUT IF YOU WANT TO HELP AND BE ON THAT SUB COMMITTEE TO HELP WITH THAT.
UM, ALSO, UM, CAN AGAIN, GOTTA BE DIRECT.
YOU'LL BE WORKING WITH JOSH AND THEN YOU'LL PRESENT IT AT A BOARD MEETING.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT SUBJECT? OKAY.
SO DO WE COUNT CHRIS? ONE THING THAT I THINK THAT MAYBE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT THAT WE FORGET ABOUT, UM, IS THE WATER PARK, UM, THE WATERPARKS IS GOING TO BE 10 YEARS OLD NEXT YEAR.
UM, YOU KNOW, THAT IS A TECHNICALLY A COMMUNITY AMENITY JUST BECAUSE THE YMC MANAGES IT'S STILL CITY PROPERTY.
UM, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK THAT'S WHY NEXT OR THIS SATURDAY'S AND IMPORTANT FOR YOU GUYS TO COME SEE, BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING TO THAT POINT WHERE, YOU KNOW, THE CAPITAL STUFF WILL START TO PILE UP.
UM, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS KEEP THAT IN FRONT OF YOU AS YOU HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS AND THINK ABOUT THINGS.
SO ALL I GOT, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFICS THAT, YOU KNOW, WERE COMING UP, MAKE SURE THEY COME TO ME SO I CAN GET THEM PUT IN BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LINE ITEM EVERY YEAR FOR THE WATER PARK, BUT IT'S MAINLY FOR, YOU KNOW, PAINTING AND UPKEEP LIKE THAT.
SO IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING, UH, YOU KNOW, BIGGER THAT YOU KNOW IS COMING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
I JUST, I JUST WANT TO KEEP THAT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE.
CAUSE WE, LIKE I SAID, WE WILL BE 10 YEARS OLD NEXT YEAR, SO IT'S NOT A SPRING CHICKEN.
SO, UM, JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND.
YEAH, I'LL BE OUT AT THE, I WILL COME TO THE AQUATIC CENTER ON SATURDAY AFTER, AFTER THE FARMER'S MARKET IN TO COME AND WALK AROUND AND LOOK AT IT AS WELL.
UM, AND SO I'LL DEFINITELY BE ABLE TO DO THAT ON SATURDAY.
SO, UM, WAS ANYONE ELSE ABLE TO GO AND LOOK AT THEIR PART? YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO, WE CAN GO THIS WEEK, THE WEATHER, THE WEATHER JUST BROKE AND CORRECT.
DID YOU GET HIRED AS GLENN'S BABYSITTER? IS THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE? I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN.
THESE MARK HERE, MAKE SURE THAT SCOOTER BATTERIES CHARGED FOR THEM.
I WAS GOING TO SAY AFTER MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, MY SCHEDULE KIND OF UP.
SO CHECK OUT CLOUD FOR US WHILE YOU'RE THERE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, TWO LOCATIONS, BUT I WILL BE ON A CLOUD A LOT, SO.
UM, SO, UM, THE ONE I HAD WAS MANITA FIELD AND OF COURSE WE HAVE A PLAN FOR MANY TO FAIL, SO THAT IS NOW OFF THE TABLE.
UM, BUT WHICH WE ALREADY KNEW.
SO, UM, BUT, UM, WHAT I WILL SAY IS THAT, UM, SOME OF THE IDEAS THAT BLAKE BROUGHT UP STARTED, YOU KNOW, STARTED A GOOD CONVERSATION, UM, OTHER THAN RECYCLING BINS.
AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A DOG BARK, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE, UM, THE ADDITION OF A FEW, UM, AREAS WHERE, UM, FEW AREAS WE CAN PUT ON WHAT THEY CALL THE DOG, UM, THE PA THE PET WASTE CANS.
UM, SO PUT THOSE AROUND THE PARKS, MAYBE TWO, YEAH.
TWO AT MOST OF THE PARTS, EXCEPT FOR THOMAS CLOUD, DON WAS KIND OF GOING TO BE PROBABLY DOUBLE THAT 30 OF THEM.
BUT, UM, I DO SEE A LOT OF FOLKS WALKING THEIR DOGS,
[00:45:01]
UM, BUT WE DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE WASTE CANS FOR THAT.SO, UM, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD SAY, UM, ADDING ONTO THE LIST, UM, AND OTHER THAN OTHER AMENITIES, I THINK WHAT WE HAVE, I'M A BIG FAN OF GREEN SPACE.
SO, UM, AND I KNOW FOLKS WANT TO HAVE PLACES TO PARK TO NOT, I'M SORRY TO PLAY, BUT I'M A BIG FAN OF GREEN SPACE AT THE END TO GO SOMEWHERE AND RELAX, UM, IS PROBABLY ADDING SOME BENCHES, BUT THAT WILL BE PART OF THE PROGRAM THAT JOSH AND I WILL BRING IT UP AS WELL AS PART OF THE MEMORIAL PROGRAM THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS WELL AS THE TREES TOO.
UM, BUT, UM, BUT YEAH, SO I'M A BIG FAN OF THAT, BUT ALSO ADDING WALKING PATHS, EVERY OTHER PARK DOESN'T HAVE HAPPEN.
WE'VE HAD THE CONVERSATION, I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT, UM, CAUSE YOU LOSE SPACE, YOU KNOW, SO, UM, BUT, UM, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO, ESPECIALLY THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARTS THAT HAVE THOSE AREAS WHERE THEY CAN JUST WALK THROUGH AND WALK AROUND AND WHILE THEIR KIDS ARE PLAYING, SOME ADULTS CAN DO THAT AS WELL.
SO, UM, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE COMMENT TO YOUR GREEN SPACE? UM, I DIDN'T BRING MY NOTEBOOK.
ALL THIS STUFF WAS WROTE DOWN ALREADY.
SO, UM, AS YOU ARE OUT LOOKING AT THE PARKS, YOU WILL NOTICE SOME AREAS, UM, AT CLOUD PARK AND AT RIPRAP PARK RIGHT NOW, UM, THAT WILL, UM, START TO LOOK DEAD AND, UH, START TO LOOK BAD OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
UH, WE HAVE ABOUT 11 AND A HALF 12 ACRES THAT ARE GOING TO BE CONVERTED TO POLLINATOR PASTURE.
A LARGE PORTION OF RIPRAP PARK IS, AND, UM, BEHIND THE TENNIS COURTS AT CLOUD AND A LITTLE PIECE OFF TO THE EAST OF THAT, UM, NEAR TWO OH ONE AS WELL.
AND IF IT EVER DRIES OUT THE HILLSIDE BETWEEN THE TWO, UH, THE SOCCER FIELDS AND THE WOODS, UM, THOSE AREAS HAVE BEEN FLAGGED AND, UH, WE ARE GOING TO GET A SPRAY ON THEM THIS WEEK OR NEXT, AND THEN THEY WILL BE PLANTED IN DECEMBER AND HOPEFULLY ALL OF THAT STUFF WILL START TO POP NEXT SPRING.
THE, UM, THE LADY I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HAS, UM, A COMPANY THAT IS GOING TO SUPPLY HER WITH ALL THE NATIVES THAT WE NEED, ESPECIALLY OUT OF RIP RAP.
WE CAN'T PUT AS MUCH, UH, PLANT MATERIAL IN BECAUSE OF HOW OFTEN IT FLOODS.
SO IT'LL MOSTLY JUST BE PRAIRIE GRASS, BUT IT'LL STILL BE A STUFF THAT NEEDS POLLINATED.
HER FLAT, WELL, SHE'S GOT A, SHE'S GOT A PLAN FOR, FOR THAT AREA AT RIPRAP.
SHE'S GOT, I FORGET WHAT IT WAS THAT, THAT SHE'S SUGGESTING WE PLANT THERE, BUT YES.
I MEAN, SOME OF THAT IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE WHATEVER THE RIVER BRINGS IN.
I MEAN, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE RANDOM TREES COMING IN CAUSE OF SEED PODS.
UM, BUT PART OF THE PROCESS THERE TOO IS GOING ALONG THAT BACK PATH AND PLANTING A LOT OF TREES AS WELL.
UM, BUT ANYTHING OUT THERE IS GOING TO BE HARD BECAUSE IT'S UNDERWATER THREE TO FOUR TIMES A YEAR.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THOSE ON THOSE SUBJECTS? THERE? ANY ADDITION? NOTHING.
SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE THOUGHT.
SO WHAT I WILL DO IS SORRY, I'M GOING TO TAKE BLAKE'S LIST AND BRIAN'S LIST AND ADD THEM TO THE SPREADSHEET, PUT IT ON A SPREADSHEET AND I WILL SEND THAT OUT TO EVERYONE.
IF YOU HAVE, UM, IF YOU HAVE IDEAS FOR BOTH REPAIR AND ADDITION, UM, FOR AMENITIES, YOU CAN EMAIL THAT TO ME OR I CAN COME PICK IT UP THE EMAIL OR YOU CAN EMAIL IT.
AND, UM, I WILL ADD THAT TO THE LIST AND THEN I WILL SEND IT OUT IN TIME FOR YOU ALL TO REVIEW IT IN JUNE.
SO WE WILL HAVE IN JUNE, WE WILL HAVE TO PRIORITIZE AND ADD TO THE LIST.
SO AT LEAST THE REPAIR STUFF WE'LL GIVE THAT TO JOSH.
UM, BUT THE NEW AMENITIES, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF HIGH COST, UM, WE'LL SUBMIT THOSE.
AND I WILL BRIEF THAT AT THAT FOLLOWING COUNCIL COUNCIL MEETING.
JOSH, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON THAT? ON THAT? OKAY.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THAT? SORRY.
[00:50:03]
YES.IT'S ALREADY, IT'S ON, IT'S ALREADY ON THE LIST.
HE TALKED A BIT, JOSH TALKED ABOUT TODAY.
YEAH, IT'S DONE AS PART OF THE BASKETBALL COURT AND REPAYMENTS.
I THINK YOU MENTIONED IT RIGHT.
WELL JOSH WAS TO MENTIONED IT TODAY.
TWO OF THEM ARE, THEY MENTIONED IT TODAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, BRIAN? I JUST, BECAUSE I MUST'VE MISSED A MEETING OR SOMETHING MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT THAT COMMUNITY PARK, THAT, THAT OLD SHELTER THING WAS TORN OUT.
IS THERE A PLANS OF PUTTING OTHER BATHROOMS THERE? I KNOW, I DIDN'T KNOW IF HE WAS GOING TO TRY AND PUT LIKE CLOSE IN FOR PICKLEBALL COURTS AND STUFF.
UM, NO, AS OF NOW, IF I PUT MONEY INTO ANYTHING, IT'LL BE THE GAZEBO.
UM, JUST TO FIX IT UP, BUT THERE'S NO PLAN RIGHT NOW IS PUTTING IN ANOTHER RESTROOM SHELTER.
WE HAVE PORTA JOHNS DOWN THERE.
UM, I KNOW THERE'S ONE OR TWO THAT THE CITY PROVIDE AND THERE'S SOME OTHER HIDDEN ONES THAT OTHER PEOPLE PAY FOR THAT WE WILL MENTION IT, BUT OTHER THEY'RE STILL GETTING USED.
UM, BUT, UH, YEAH, THERE'S, AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NO PLAN, UH, TO REPAIR THAT THE OTHER ONE CAME DOWN BECAUSE IT WAS JUST SO DILAPIDATED AND THE RESTROOMS HADN'T FUNCTIONED.
AND SO I, UH, I ENDED UP SAYING NO WHY THEN THAT HAPPENED.
I JUST ONE DAY HE WAS PICKING UP MY DAUGHTER.
SO, UM, THE NEXT ITEM IS ADDITIONAL BUSINESS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS JOSH.
UM, AS SOME OF, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY KNOWS, UM, YOU KNOW, CAROL MOSS PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR, UM, OUT AT THE WARRIOR COMPLEX.
UH, THEY DID A SMALL DEDICATION OUT THERE AND NAMED PART OF THE ROAD, UM, OUT THERE, CAROL MOSS.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S MEMORIAL WAY OR WHAT THEY CALLED IT, UM, AT THE WARE COMPLEX.
THERE'S A, SO IT WAS, IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT WARRIORS HAD DONE THAT, BUT THE CITY HAD NEVER OFFICIALLY DONE A DEDICATION.
SO I WAS TOLD TO ASK THE BOARD IF, UM, THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANTED TO DO, EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD BE AT THE COMPLEX, WE WOULD WORK WITH LAWYERS TO DO IT OUT THERE.
UM, SINCE THAT WAS HER, YOU KNOW, BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS OUT THERE, UM, TO DO SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE FORMAL.
SO JUST TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION, I HAVE HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT TRYING TO RENAME FITCHBURG ROAD.
I MEAN, THERE WAS TALK ABOUT THAT BETWEEN TROY AND RIP RAP.
AND I KNOW YOU HAD TALKS WITH CITY DAYTON, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S STILL POSSIBLE.
SCOTT BROUGHT IT UP TO ME THE OTHER DAY AND I TOLD HIM THAT I KNOW THE STREET DEPARTMENT HAD MADE A SIGN FOR THE COMPLEX AND THAT THE CLUB ITSELF HAD DONE SOMETHING, BUT HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT TO YOU GUYS TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE FURTHER NEEDED TO BE.
AND IF I CAN REACH BACK OUT TO HIM AND SEE IF THERE ARE PLANS FOR ANYTHING ON FITCHBURG OR WHERE THEY WERE THINKING, I THINK EVERYTHING WAS STAYING IN THE COMPLEX THOUGH, FROM WHAT I OKAY.
BRIAN, QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU.
HOW MUCH, WHAT PART OF THE COMPLEX IS HUBER TO ANY OF THE ROADS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? LEADING UP TO IT RIGHT NOW? NONE OF IT.
BUT AS A RESIDENT, WE CAN STILL DO THINGS FOR ITS RESIDENTS AND IT'S A CITY.
WE CAN STILL DO THINGS FOR IN THE COMPLEX.
RIGHT? WELL, A LOT OF THE, A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S STARTED THAT WORK, THAT VOLUNTEER ARE FROM HEBREW HEIGHTS.
UH, IF PAST HISTORY, THAT LAND THAT'S ALL RIGHT THERE IS, WAS WAYNE TOWNSHIP AT ONE POINT.
AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY THE CITY HUBER HEIGHTS BECAME CITY.
EVERYBODY'S, THAT'S THE LAND THAT THE CITY OF DAYTON ANNEXED.
AND THAT'S WHAT MADE THE RESIDENTS GO.
SO, UM, SO TO CAP THE CONVERSATION START, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHAT JOSH JUST MENTIONED ABOUT JOINING A SPECIAL DEDICATION FOR CAROLINAS? I WILL START WITH PUTS HALL.
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT NEW WHEN THEY HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE.
SO MAYBE ONE OF THE TOURNAMENT, WINNERS, HOW DID THE CITY DO SOMETHING THAT WEEKEND OR THE PARKS BOARD THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT THAT WAY? YOU GET THE MOST AMOUNT OF PEOPLE
[00:55:01]
IN THE AREA TO SEE DENNIS, I THINK IT'D BE NICE TO DO SOMETHING.I, SHE WAS A PAST PRESIDENT PARKS AND REC.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS SHE WAS PROBABLY QUITE A FEW.
SO IN RUNNING A NATION IN THAT CITY NUMBERS, BUT THEN ALSO WHAT YOU DID FOR SOCCER IN THE AREA, I'M SURE YOU ALREADY DONE SOMETHING LIVE IN SOMETHING THAT THE CITY MIGHT BE.
I KNOW YOU AND KNOW YOU KNEW BY YOUR TUCK, YOUR DOG'S STILL CAM.
WELL, OF COURSE I'M EXTREMELY BIASED.
AND YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST MET CAROL, UH, WITH, BECAUSE OF SOCCER AND SHE TOOK ME UNDER HER WING, DELISE, YOU KNOW, THAT, SHE'S THE MAIN REASON WHY I'M ON, YOU KNOW, ON HERE NOW AND DOING ALL THE VOLUNTEERING THAT I DO NOW, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMETHING TO THEM FROM THE CITY SHE HAD, THEY PUT A LOT FOR THE VOLUNTEERING WITHIN THE CITY.
BUT IF IT WAS TALKING ABOUT HONORING CAROL MOSS, I'M ALL ODD BECAUSE I WORKED WITH CAROL, UH, ON NEPAL AND REX BOY THERE.
AND BRIAN, BRIAN, UNLIKE YOU, I'M, I'M A LITTLE BIASED, UH, JUST THROUGH MY EVERY DAY WORK AND WORKING WITH THE CLUB, UM, FOR THE BIG TOURNAMENTS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE HOSTED, I, I TAKE, IT WOULD BE NICE TO DO SOMETHING IF IT'S EVER DONE.
UM, WHEN THE TOURNAMENT SENT OVER MEMORIAL DAY AND OF COURSE THAT'S COMING UP HERE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD HAPPEN, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE THE PLOW CLASS IN OCTOBER IN A BRIAN.
YOU COULD PROBABLY SPEAK BETTER TO THAT THAN I COULD.
UM, I HAVEN'T HEARD MUCH, UH, REGARDING HER HUSBAND HANKS HEALTH.
I KNOW HE WAS, UH, FAILING AS WELL.
UM, SO I DON'T KNOW, PRETTY BUSY, UH, CARING FOR HIM AND I GRIND.
IS HE, IS HE IN A HOME? YOU KNOW, I, I, I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT'S UP WITH HANK RIGHT NOW.
BUT YEAH, ANYTHING THAT WE COULD DO, UM, I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY SPECIAL AND I'M SURE THAT THE FAMILY WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
JOSH, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ON WHAT WE COULD PUT YOUR CHOLINE DO OR OKAY.
I'LL UH, BECAUSE THAT'S THE TRICKY PART OF IT, MEANING THAT ALL OF THE LAND, UM, YEAH, BECAUSE IT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY AND WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING PROBABLY ON THE PUMP ITSELF.
AND I THINK THAT'S, WHAT'S KIND OF ALREADY BEEN DONE.
UM, BUT, UH, TO MAKE SOMETHING MORE FORMAL, UM, I'LL FIND THE HOLE.
YOU KNOW, UH, THE OTHER THING YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT IT, RON BROUGHT IT UP AND A LOT OF TIMES PAINT WITH BEHIND THE SCENES, ALL THIS STUFF, THAT CAMERA WAS OUT IN THE FRONT, GETTING PEOPLE TO VOLUNTEER AND STUFF.
I WAS DOING A LOT OF THE WORK BEHIND THE SCENES.
SO MAYBE THE TWO OF THEM IN CONJUNCTION.
I KNOW WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE STREET DEPARTMENT, MY FIRST YEAR OF WORKING, GETTING READY FOR THE CLASSIC, THAT'S ALSO ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES CRAWLING YOUR SOCCER FIELDS, HANGS OUT THERE, PICKING UP EVERY LITTLE BIT OF A CIGARETTE, VERY PASSIONATE.
SO, UM, IS THERE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR SOMEONE'S GONNA HAVE TO PUT A MOTION ON THE FLOOR, UM, TO, UM, DO A DEDICATION OR RECOGNITION SPECIAL RECOGNITION FOR HANK AND CAROL MOCKS.
SO I'LL BE ONE GLENN OUT SECOND, AND BRIAN CAN COPY THAT.
SO, UM, I'LL GET WITH YOU JOSH.
UM, PROBABLY NOT TOMORROW, I'M OFF, BUT IT'S PROBABLY TOO SOON.
SO I'LL GET SOME MIXED INTO HIM THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.
UM, AND THEY WILL GET TOGETHER AND WE'LL JUST THROW SOME IDEAS OUT AND THEN I JUST BRING THEM BACK TO THE BOARD.
[01:00:01]
IT THEN WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT TOPIC.UM, AND THEN WE'LL GET THAT ONE MOVING.
BE CAREFUL NOT, I WILL MAKE YOU A CAROLYN.
SO, UH, ARE THERE ANY OTHER AUDITS WHERE ADDITIONAL BUSINESS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS? OKAY.
SO I JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THE MUSIC SERIES DO HAVE AN EVENT THIS WEEKEND, SIX TO NINE, YOU USE IT IHEART ICE CREAM, OR THEY, THEY LIKE MELT THE ICE CREAM AND POUR IT ON NICOLE'S SLAB AND THEN USE A PLENTY KNIFE AND THEY SCRAPE IT.
AND IT'S FREE TO COME TO THE EVENT TO COME INTO THE EVENT.
AND THEN, UH, AGAIN, EVERY SATURDAY, THE FARMER'S MARKET TENDED TO, TO COME OUT, UM, BUY SOME FRESH VEGETABLES AS WELL.
YOU HAVE SOME VEGETABLES, HONEY ARTS AND CRAFT FLOWERS.
LOTS OF THEM BAKE THEM, LOTS OF BAKED GOODS TO SHARE AS WELL.
JUST WANTED TO REMIND EVERYONE ABOUT THAT.
AND IF THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL BUSINESS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS, WE'LL HAVE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM HERE.
HAS EVERYONE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE MINUTES? OKAY.
IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS, THE MINUTES WILL BE APPROVED.
UM, UPCOMING MEETINGS, OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE JUNE 17TH AT 6:30 PM.
AND IT IS SEVEN 30 TO THE MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
