SO HOW HAVE WE GOT, SO CONGRATULATIONS.
UM, DID YOU ALSO RECEIVE A BOOK? YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED YOUR BOOK YET? CORRECT? THAT WILL BE IN THE MAIL.
ALL RIGHT, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE.
UH, NUMBER FOUR, CITIZEN COMMENTS, ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS, ANYTHING YOU'RE AT THE PODIUM.
UH, OLD BUSINESS PARK MANAGER UPDATE.
WE GOT SEVERAL NEW THINGS GOING ON.
UM, COUNCIL MEETING ON MONDAY, THEY, UH, VOTED THE MONITA TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE MONITA, UH, SKATE PARK AND BMX PARK PROJECT.
UH, THOSE CONTRACTS WERE SIGNED BY SCOTT AND SENT OUT TO EACH OF THE VENDORS TODAY.
UM, AND, UH, WE SHOULD BE GETTING, UM, TRACTION ON THAT ASAP.
UH, I KNOW WE'RE GONNA TRY TO DO AT BEFORE THE CONCRETE PAD WILL BE THE FIRST THING DONE AND I TOLD HIM HE COULD START IMMEDIATELY.
UH, BUT TO LET ME KNOW HOW IMMEDIATELY HE WAS GOING TO START, CAUSE WE'D LIKE TO DO A GROUNDBREAKING BEFOREHAND.
UH, ANYTIME WE CAN GET OUR GOLD SHOVELS OUT AND, UH, AND PLAY CONSTRUCTION, WE WILL.
UM, AND NEXT THURSDAY, WE WILL BE HAVING A TOWN HALL MEETING TO DISCUSS, UH, PARKING AND, UM, ANY NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS ABOUT THE DIAL PARK PROJECT.
UM, I AM GETTING WITH THE, UM, DESIGNER FOR THAT TOMORROW TO MAKE A COUPLE OF CHANGES.
UH, IT LOOKS LIKE WHERE, UH, THE PLAN THAT WE INITIALLY HAD, THE PUNK TRACK WAS KIND OF OUT BY THE ROAD.
UH, IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY MOVE THAT BACK INTO THE OPEN AREA TO ALLOW US SPACE FOR A PARKING LOT THERE AS ONE OPTION OR ANOTHER OPTION WOULD BE DO A CURB CUT AND TAKE IT DOWN THE ROAD AND HAVE PARALLEL PARKING.
UM, THAT WAY WE CAN FIT, I THINK, ROUGHLY 20 TO 25 CARS ALONG THE ROAD THERE.
UM, OTHER THAN THAT, HOPEFULLY, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE WON'T BE TOO MUCH OTHER, YOU KNOW, GOING ON ALONG WITH THAT PROJECT AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PASS THAT ALONG SOON.
SO, UM, WHAT ELSE WE GOT GOING ON OFFENSE? WE GOT CONCERT FRIDAY.
ONLY THE APPARENTLY PARKING, YOU SAID YOU COULD BE PARKED ALONG LONG, UH, LONG FOOT ROAD THERE.
IF WE DO IT THAT WAY THOUGH, WE WILL CUT OUT THE TREE LAWN.
SO YOU'LL ACTUALLY BE OFF THE ROAD.
SO, UM, THINK OF LIKE, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF AN AREA AROUND HERE TIP CITY, YOU GO THROUGH TIP CITY A LOT AND HOW YOU'VE GOT THE CURVE GOES BACK.
WE KIND OF PARALLEL PARKING LONG THAT, SO IT'LL, IT'LL CUT OUT TO PARK AND THEN COME BACK LIKE A NORMAL, OKAY, GOT IT.
IT GOES THROUGH HER AND IT WOULD BE WHEN YOU COME UP BACK, HE'LL ADD THAT IN AS AN S CURVE THERE AND YOU'RE PARALLEL PARKING AND PULL IT OUT THERE.
THAT COULD BE A REAL EXCITING SPOT.
[00:05:01]
WELL, IT WON'T GO DOWN THAT FAR DOWN THE HILL.IT'LL ONLY GO DOWN ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY OF JUST THE FRONTAGE OF THE PARK.
UM, SO THAT CURVE KINDA COMES AND YOU'RE GOING PRETTY.
I MEAN, ONCE YOU GET AROUND THAT CURVE, YOU CAN SEE, SO IT'LL BE, IT'LL BE A LITTLE EASIER TO SEE COMING OUT OF THERE SINCE THE CURVE GOES MORE TO THE LEFT.
NOW, IF THE CURVE ONES TO THE RIGHT.
YES, IT WOULD BE A LITTLE HARDER, BUT I THINK WITH THE CURVE GOING TO THE LEFT RIGHT AT THE PEAK, THERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE IT.
BUT I THINK THE OPTION WOULD BE BETTER TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, MOVE THE PUMP TRACK AND PUT, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY PULL IN AND PUT A LITTLE PARKING LOT INSIDE THE PARK.
SO YEAH, WE DO HAVE ANOTHER CONCERT FRIDAY NIGHT.
UM, TOMORROW NIGHT FINGERS CROSSED THAT THE WEATHER GOES AWAY.
WE GOT LUCKY LAST WEEK WE WERE CALLING FOR 40%.
DID NOT CANCEL, HAD A BEAUTIFUL EVENING.
UM, WE WILL HAVE A CHEF DARYL WITH THE BEREA TACOS THAT SETS UP OVER HERE AT RURAL KING LOT.
HE WILL BE BACK ON SITE, A YUMMY GIRA WILL BE THERE AND SO WILL IHEART ICE CREAM.
UM, AND A CONCERT STARTS AT SIX.
UM, SHE'S GOT AN OPENING ACT COMING WITH HER AS WELL AND, AND, UM, SHOULD BE REALLY GOOD.
SO WE'RE EXCITED AND LIKE, AGAIN, HOPEFULLY THE WEATHER HOLDS OFF OR IT'S DONE BY THEN AND WE CAN JUST HAVE ANOTHER GOOD EVENING MOVIE NIGHT NEXT FRIDAY EVENING.
UM, WE WILL, UH, PROBABLY START PARKING CARS AROUND EIGHT O'CLOCK.
THE FOOD TRUCKS ARE GOING TO SHOW UP OR RIGHT NOW FOOD TRUCK, WE JUST HAVE ONE RAPID ENROLL IN CAFE.
UM, WE'LL BE THERE AND, UH, THEY WILL BE SET UP AND READY TO SERVE AT EIGHT O'CLOCK.
WE ARE SHOWING THE, IS IT 2010? I THINK MAYBE THE NEWEST KARATE KIDS STARTING JADEN SMITH.
UM, AND THE MOVIE WILL START ROUGHLY NINE, 15 ISH.
UH, SUN SUN DOWN IS 909 SUNSET.
SO, UM, THEY SHOULD BE, SHOULD BE ROLLING AROUND NINE 15.
UM, 4TH OF JULY IS QUICKLY APPROACHING ANY VOLUNTEERS THAT CAN BE AT THE PARK WITH ME EARLY THAT MORNING.
UH, FOOD TRUCKS HAVE TO BE ON SITE READY TO BE INSPECTED AT 10:00 AM.
UM, AND, UH, I WILL NEED SOME HELP DIRECTING THOSE ALONG WITH, UH, WE GOT THIS STAGE BEING SET UP IN THE MORNING.
UM, WE'VE GOT VENDORS LIKE JUST A COUPLE OF VENDOR BOOTHS, I THINK.
AND THEN, UH, THE SOUND EQUIPMENT AND STUFF WILL BE SHOWING UP BRIGHT AND EARLY.
OKAY, WELL, UM, I DON'T HAVE THE GRAPHIC UP HERE.
I CAN SEND AN EMAIL TO EVERYONE SO YOU CAN SEE IT.
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT AT CLOUD PARK THIS YEAR AND THE PAST.
EVERYTHING'S BEEN CRAMMED INTO THAT LITTLE AREA.
WHEN YOU FIRST PULL IN, UH, THIS YEAR, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE SPREAD OUT IN THE PARK BY THE OLD CONCESSION STAND.
UH, THE BAND WILL BE BY THE OLD CONCESSION STAND FACING KIND OF TOWARDS, UM, SPLASH PAD, BUT MORE TOWARDS THE CREEK AREA.
UM, THE FOOD TRUCKS ARE GOING TO RUN IN A COUPLE OF ROWS DOWN THE SOCCER FIELDS.
UH, THE BEER GARDEN WILL BE ALONG THE PARKING LOT INSIDE.
THERE WILL BE A BIG CITY TENT AND OTHER PICNIC TABLES.
UM, THE TENT, I BELIEVE WE'LL HAVE 40TH ANNIVERSARY, UM, INFORMATION IN IT.
SOME SLIDE SHOWS AND SOME OTHER THINGS TO LOOK AT.
UH, WE WILL HAVE A PETTING ZOO.
UM, I BELIEVE MS. T CORRECT FROM A AND B IS, UH, SETTING UP SOME GAMES FOR THE KIDS.
UM, AT TWO O'CLOCK WE HAVE THE DATE AND CLAUDE BUSTERS AND THE TIP CITY CANAL JUMPERS, UH, COMING IN TO DO A VINTAGE BASEBALL GAME FOR US, UM, AS PART OF OUR FESTIVITIES.
OR WERE YOU DOING THE CELEBRITY THREE O'CLOCK CELEBRITY SOFTBALL.
UM, SO WE'LL HAVE THAT AS WELL.
UM, TWO BANDS PLAY IN FIRST BAND STARTS AT ONE 30 BAND STARTS AT 5:00 PM.
SO WE'VE GOT QUITE THE DAY GOING ON AND HOPEFULLY BY MOVING EVERYTHING DEEPER INTO THE PARK, WE ALLOW FOR MORE PEOPLE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE ABLE TO WALK IN INSTEAD OF WALKING ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE PARK AND THEN PEOPLE WHO ARE DRIVING IN AS WELL.
UM, AND THEN ALSO NEXT YEAR, SINCE THAT AREA NEXT TO THE SPLASH PAD WILL BE OPEN.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO MOVE THE CAR SHOW BACK TO SATURDAY SINCE THEY LIKED THAT AREA.
UH, AND WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ALL THAT IN ONE DAY.
I THINK IT MAKES A LOT MORE FESTIVITIES AND A LOT MORE FOR PEOPLE TO DO AND SEE.
UM, SO WE WILL HAVE 28 FOOD TRUCKS, I BELIEVE AS THE COUNT RIGHT NOW.
UM, SO THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY TO DO PLENTY TO SEE AND PLENTY TO EAT THAT DAY AND THE BEER GARDEN, SO PLENTY TO DRINK AS WELL.
I GUESS I'M TRYING TO THINK OF IT.
I THINK THAT'S EVERYTHING WE GOT.
FARMER'S MARKET CONTINUES TO ROLL ON AS USUAL.
[00:10:01]
OH YES.UM, THE, THE GARDEN BOXES AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
UM, THE 28TH, I BELIEVE WAS THE DATE THAT THE, UM, CUBS ARE NOT THE CUB SCOUT, SORRY, BOY SCOUT, UH, ONE OF THE MATERIALS TO START BUILDING THOSE BOXES.
AND, UH, SO WE SHOULD START SEEING TOWARDS THE BEGINNING OF JULY, THOSE BEING COMPLETED AND PUT IN PLACE, AND THEN WE CAN START PLANTING IN THEM AFTER THAT.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOSH TO THE LEFT? ALL RIGHT.
SO I DO HAVE ONE FULL PARKING NEXT WEEK.
UM, WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR THAT? ARE WE DOING THE SAME AS YOU DID LAST YEAR OR WE'RE JUST GOING TO LET THEM, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE, UM, SO DID EVERY OTHER PARKING SPOT OR WE'RE GONNA LET THEM JUST, OH, WELL FOR THE MOVIE, SORRY.
I WAS THINKING THE TOWN HALL MEETINGS, DIFFERENT PARKING, UM, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T NEED TO GO EVERY OTHER SPACE, BUT I THINK IT WORKS WELL JUST BECAUSE IT GIVES SOMEBODY A PLACE TO SIT THEIR CAR AND THEN IF THEY WANT TO SIT OUTSIDE.
UM, SO WE PROBABLY WILL STILL DO THE, EVERY OTHER, UM, WE ARE GETTING A LARGER SCREEN THIS YEAR.
I THINK WE GOT THE 41 FOOT, WHICH IS BIGGER THAN ANY SCREEN WE HAD LAST YEAR.
SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, WE'LL STILL HAVE TO KEEP THE FRONT ROW A LITTLE SMALLER, BUT I THINK THE BACK COUPLE OF ROWS CAN GO A LITTLE WIDER AGAIN.
UM, BUT WE'RE GOING TO DO IT IN THE SAME SPOT BLOCK OFF THAT ONE PARKING LOT.
AND, UM, YEAH, WE'LL HAVE THE FOOD TRUCK IN THE BACK CORNER, SO THEY'RE BRINGING THAT TO THE TRANSMITTER, BUT, AND THE SOUND SYSTEM.
AND THEN THE LAST QUESTION I HAVE IS IT, SO LAST YEAR WE HAD SOME, WE DIDN'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH PARKING TOO MUCH.
UM, BUT, UM, IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN MAKE IT EASIER BY HAVING SIGNS FOR TRUCKS LIKE THE PICKUPS AND ALL THAT PARK BACK HERE, INSTEAD OF US TRYING TO, UM, TRYING TO GET SIGNS BY NEXT WEEK, BUT IF NOT VOLUNTEERS ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR THAT.
TO HAVE PEOPLE THERE TO POINT PEOPLE WHERE TO GO, BUT YES, THE FIRST WE WILL DO FIRST ROW CARS ONLY, BUT NO HATCHBACKS BECAUSE GENERALLY EVEN A LITTLE HATCHBACK IS GOING TO WALK IN THE FRONT.
WE'LL DO HATCHBACKS SECOND ROAD TRUCKS AND VANS IN THE BACK OF TWO OR THREE.
HONESTLY THERE, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY CLOUD PARK.
UH, I LIVE AT THAT INTO TOWN AND WE DON'T EVEN HEAR OF IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, I MEAN YOU'RE DOWN ONE STREET UP FROM ME, SO THAT'S BEEN PRETTY GREAT.
EVEN AT THE AMPHITHEATER, THE CONCERT LAST FRIDAY, WE HAD NOTICED THE CADENCE.
SO IT'S JUST KINDA, IT'S JUST LIKE THIS SIDE OF TOWN IS ALL THAT'S GETTING IT.
WE'RE JUST GETTING THAT A LITTLE BIT OF BLOW OVER FROM VANDALIA, BUT, UH, EVERYTHING ELSE OUT HERE HAS BEEN OKAY.
SO YOU GUYS ARE RIGHT ON THAT LITTLE CUFFS ARE COMING RIGHT OUT OF THE WOODS THERE.
SO IF THERE ARE NO MORE COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.
THE NEXT TIME IS THE YMC AT THE HEIGHTS REPORT.
DID YOU HAPPEN TO GET IT? YMCA IS STILL STANDING AND THE POOL WAS OPEN TODAY.
SO, UM, NEXT ITEM IS, UH, THE 2021 PRIORITY LIST DISCUSSION.
SO EVERYONE, EXCEPT FOR MATT RECEIVED A COPY, AN EMAIL COPY OF OUR PRIORITY COMPREHENSIVE LIST.
AND THAT INCLUDES EVERYTHING THAT YOU ALL PROVIDED ME WITH DURING THE LAST MEETING, AS WELL AS STUFF FROM PREVIOUS, UM, ENGAGEMENTS THAT WE'VE HAD OR DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'VE HAD.
UM, AND THEN I'VE ALSO SENT YOU A COPY OF THE PAST, THE LAST PRIORITY LIST MINUS ANYTHING ELSE THAT WAS ALREADY APPROVED, MOVING, ET CETERA.
I HAVE IT RIGHT ON PAPER IN BLACK AND WHITE, SO I WILL SEND YOU TO COLOR.
SO, UM, WHEN I, ONE TO GET FROM EVERYONE IS AT LEAST YOUR TOP FIVE, NUMBER ONE ON WHAT YOU THINK WE SHOULD PUT ON THE PRIORITY LIST FOR THIS YEAR.
UM, IN PAST YEARS WE KEPT THE NUMBERS DOWN AND KEPT THE NUMBER TO NO MORE THAN 10.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT, KEEP IT THE SAME WAY.
SO WHAT HAPPENED THERE? I DOWN, BUT I'M OPEN TO HAVING A LIST UP TO 20.
I MEAN, I'M OPEN TO IT IF YOU GUYS ARE, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE YOUR INPUT, THAT, UH, THAT WE KNOW WHAT YOU ALL WANT TO SEE HAPPEN IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.
SO WHO WANTS TO START? I KNOW ALEX DOES WELL, ALL WE DISCUSS, HOW DO WE PLAN TO PRODUCE LIVE OR WHAT TO PUT ON THE TOP OF THE LIST? WELL, LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT THE POEM IS TOP OF THE LIST.
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP FIVE? WE'LL START WITH THE BASKETBALL COURT NORTH.
I WANT TO START WITH THE RECLINER WHERE I WAS GOING TO BE WITH MY BEADING TONIGHT.
[00:15:01]
FINE.WELL, ONE THAT I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS, THAT'S NOT ON THIS LIST AND THAT GOES TO A RESTROOM AT COMMUNITY PARK.
I KEEP BRINGING IT UP, BUT IT ALWAYS GOOD CLOUD POCKET, A NEW RESTROOM.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME? AND GET A RESTROOM AND COMMUNITY DEPARTMENT.
I THINK THAT'S YOUR SOMEHOW BE IN A TOP 10.
ANOTHER RESTROOM AT CLOUD PARK WOULD BE GREAT.
AND I'M ALSO IN FAVOR OF THE VOLLEYBALL COURT, THE ADDITION OF VOLLEYBALL COURT CLOUD POWER.
OR I BELIEVE, I DON'T REMEMBER.
SEASON THREE WAS A WEIRD TABLE.
YOU HAD TO ACTUALLY SELECT THE COLUMNS, SELECT THE TAB WHEN YOU FIRST OPENED, IT JUST LOOKED LIKE A GRAY.
I WILL RESEND IT TO YOU, BUT THAT'S A HARD COPY THAT I HAVE TAKE TIME TO LOOK AT THAT, UH, SYDNEY.
SO I'VE BEEN SAYING, UM, CONCERNS ABOUT THE PARK RIGHT ACROSS FROM WAYNE.
UM, THERE HAS BEEN COMPLAINTS OF TRASH BEING IN THAT DEEP SECTION, RIGHT WHERE THE WATERFALL IS.
UM, THERE HAS BEEN REQUESTS OF ADDING RECYCLING BINS AND TRASH CANS AND THE, UM, YEAH, JUST PICKING UP TRASH AROUND THAT PARK MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE HIGH SCHOOLERS THOUGH.
AND THAT WAS ALL I HAD, SO, OKAY.
THE FIRST ONE I SEE THAT I DON'T LIKE IT, THE RESISTANCE TRAINING.
I SENT YOU A PICTURE ON THAT PART.
AND THEY HAD A REAL NICE SETUP FOR THAT RESISTANCE TRAINING.
IT WAS ALL IN ONE CANOPY AREA.
WAS IT JUST, WAS IT A SINGLE PAD AND EVERYTHING ON THE ONE YOU HAD? IT WAS PROBABLY FITNESS USA.
THERE THEY'VE, UM, I'VE VISITED ONE OF THEIR SITES IN SAN FRANCISCO TWO YEARS AGO AND, UH, IT WAS NICE TO BE OVER TOP OF THE SIDES WORLD.
UH, IT WAS THE EQUIVALENT LOOK REALLY, REALLY NICE.
IT'S UM, IT'S SURPRISINGLY SUPER EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT IT IS.
UH, THEY, I HAD THEM PRICED ME OUT A UNIT BASED ON, UH, ONE OF THEIR, UH, BASED ON THE PICTURES.
I SENT THEM TO THE ONE IN SAN FRANCISCO AND, UH, IT WAS UPWARDS OF $250,000.
AND THAT WAS JUST THEM SHIPPING US THE EQUIPMENT.
WE HAD TO INSTALL IT ALL OURSELVES.
AND IT'S LIKE, WELL, YOU KNOW, FOR THAT PRICE TAG, I WANT YOU TO GO BEGINNING TO END WITH THE WHOLE PROJECT.
SO, UM, I DO HAVE A PLAYGROUND PROVIDER THAT HAS SIMILAR STUFF TO, UM, COMMUNITY PARK FAIRBORN.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN THERE'S, UH, IT'S GOT SOMEONE THAT USES, UH, LIKE RUBBER, LIKE THICK, RUBBER PIECES FOR THE RESISTANCE.
AND THEN SOME OF IT ACTUALLY HAS LIKE A SHOCK ABSORBERS ON IT.
UH, LIKE YOU HAVE ON THE TRUNK OF YOUR, UH, LIKE HATCHBACK HAS STUFF LIKE THAT AND SOME RESISTANCE ON IT AND THAT STUFF IT'S A LOT MORE AFFORDABLE.
I'VE GOT IT IN A FUTURE PLAN TO REPLACE EVERYTHING IN CLOUD ARC, BUT ALSO WANT TO LOOK AT BACK HERE, UM, GARY SHERMAN, CAUSE IT'S A NICE OPEN PARK THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT COULD BE BENEFICIAL THERE TOO.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE BASKETBALL COURT NORTH AND WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT CARRIAGE TRAILS AND WHAT THEY COULD DO AND THEY'VE GOT, I GUESS THEY HAVE TO DONATE THE LAND AFTER THEY'RE DONE DEVELOPING EVERYTHING.
I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT OVER.
I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT PROCESS WORKS.
UM, THERE'S A PIECE UP THERE THAT I'VE GOT MY EYE ON AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW, UM, BY THE BIG POND, RIGHT.
SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NORTH SIDE, THERE'S A TWO AND A HALF ACRE LOT THERE.
THAT WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL RIGHT.
IN THE CENTER OF THE COMMUNITY.
AND YOU'VE GOT THE UNDERGROUND TUNNEL THAT POP-UP ON BOTH SIDES, CAR PATHS, RIGHT.
BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE PIECE THAT THEY WANT TO BE.
I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'VE BEEN, I'VE BEEN EYEBALLING IT AND I KEEP MEASURING IT AND LOOKING AT DIFFERENT THINGS.
CAUSE IT'S A NICE PLACE FOR A PAVILION, A PLAYGROUND, RIGHT.
BY A POND, BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH THAT YOU GOT TO WORRY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE KIDS BEING ABLE TO GET RIGHT TO IT.
[00:20:01]
SO IT'S SOMETHING I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT.UH, WE'LL SEE WHAT, WHAT COMES UP AND WHEN THE TIME COMES AND GLEN AND I DID GO OUT TO THE PARK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, AN HOUR AND A HALF AND WALKED AROUND.
UNFORTUNATELY, GLENN TOOK THE NOTES THAT HE WAS NOT THERE IN THERE.
UM, LOOK FOR WHICH ONE DID YOU GO TO? LET'S SEE.
WELL, OF COURSE, UH, UM, REALLY BIG ONE, THE GOOD BATHROOM HAD IN THE BATHROOM AND THE SHELTER AREA OR SOMETHING THAT THE OLD CONCESSION STAYED INSIDE AT CLOUD PARK.
UH, OF COURSE, LIKE I SAID, UH, THE BATHROOM SITUATION, THE COMMUNITY, UH, MY SON'S BEEN PLAYING FLAG FOOTBALL THERE AND I GOT THE ONE OR TWO PORT-A-POTTIES THAT ARE OVERFLOWING ALL THE TIME ON SUNDAYS.
AND THEN, UH, I STILL WANTED TO EXPAND, UH, THE SHELL GAMES PARKING LOT.
I, LOT OF TIMES I SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN SHE'D BEING USED, IT'S PEOPLE ARE PARKING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ON THE CURB AND ALL THAT.
PLUS I THINK THAT PARK WITH THE SIZE OF IT, IT'S REALLY UNDERUTILIZED BECAUSE OF THE, HOW SMALL THE PARKING LOT IS.
UH, OF COURSE, UH, HAVING A BASKETBALL COURT NORTH OF 70, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, OTHER THAN THAT, MOST OF MY STUFF IS A LOT OF MAINTENANCE.
OKAY, BLAKE, UH, SO I'D SAY MY FIRST, UH, GOAL WOULD BE TO ADD RECYCLING, UH, BINS TO AT LEAST ALL THE BIGGER PARKS, LIKE, UH, COMMUNITY CLOUD, UM, LIKE COTTONWOOD PLACES WHERE THERE'S LIKE A SPORTING EVENTS WHERE PEOPLE CAN THROW IT, YOU KNOW, GET RID OF THEIR RECYCLE WITHOUT THROWING, THROWING THE TRASH.
UM, I'D LIKE TO SEE A WALKING TRAIL AROUND THE PERIMETER OF COTTONWOOD.
UM, SOME OTHER PARKS HAVE WALKING TRAILS AND I THINK THAT'S THOSE GET USED A LOT.
UM, SO I THINK THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD ADD A, UM, A GOOD FUNCTION TO COTTONWOOD AND ESPECIALLY CAUSE THAT AREA FLOODS A LOT.
SO I THINK HAVING A, LIKE ABE WALKING TRAIL WOULD BE GOOD.
UM, I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT, UH, UPKEEP AT THE BASEBALL FIELDS AND JOSH IS HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING SOMEBODY TO DO THAT, BUT I THINK THAT BEING ABLE TO DO THAT WOULD BE, WOULD BE AWESOME TOO.
UM, AND THEN I ALSO SAW, UH, IN THE LIST, UH, ADDING A PLAYGROUND AT THE EICHELBERGER THEATER.
I THINK THAT'D BE REALLY COOL TOO.
UM, AND THEN, UH, WATER FEATURES AT ANY AND ALL PARKS THAT THERE THAT, UH, IT'S, THAT ARE ABLE TO HAVE WATER FEATURES, I GUESS THAT MAYBE THAT ARE ALREADY PLUMBED OR WHATEVER'S, UM, VISITING PARKS IN CENTERVILLE, BASICALLY ALL OF THEM HAVE WATER FEATURES AND I KNOW THAT'S LIKE A BIG DRAW AND WE HAVE THE ONE AT, UH, CLOUD PARK AND THAT GETS USED A TON.
AND SOMETIMES EVEN TO THE POINT WHERE LIKE IT'S OVERFLOWING WITH PEOPLE.
SO I THINK HADN'T HAD ANOTHER FEATURE WOULD BE, UM, WHAT DO YOU HAVE SOME GOOD USE? OKAY.
SO WHEN YOU SAY WATER FEATURE, ARE YOU THINKING OF OTHER THINGS OTHER THAN A SPLASH? YEAH.
CAN I ADDRESS ONE OF THEM REAL QUICK? YES.
THE RECYCLING, I AM 100% IN AGREEANCE WITH YOU, BUT I KNOW BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TWO RECYCLING CANS.
WE DO HAVE ADMIN, THE THEATER THAT PEOPLE JUST SEE THE CANE AND TRASH.
AND THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT IS WE HAVE NO AIR IN THE CITY THAT WE HAVE ALL RECYCLED CONTAINS.
UM, SO ALL WE HAVE ARE TRASH CANS.
SO WE HAVE NOWHERE AS CITY EMPLOYEES WHO WOULD TAKE OUT THE TRASH AND WHO WOULD TAKE OUT THE RECYCLING.
WE THEN HAVE NOWHERE TO TAKE THE RECYCLING TO.
UM, SO I THINK THE THING WILL BE, WE'LL BE CONTACTING REPUBLICANS, SEEING IF THEY HAVE ALL RECYCLING CANS, LIKE THE LARGE, UM, ONES THAT WE HAVE FOR TRASH THAT WE CAN GET.
UM, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW, HOW THAT WORKS CAUSE I'VE ASKED BEFORE MYSELF.
BUT AGAIN, THE PROBLEM IS, IS IF WE HAVE RECYCLING BINS IN THE PARK, PEOPLE HAVE TO SORT THROUGH THEM BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT'S ALL GOING TO BE TRASHING.
SO IT'S HARD TO KIND OF HAVE THEM OUT THAT WAY WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY THERE TO SORT THEM THE WHOLE TIME.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT.
UM, BUT I GUESS THERE ARE OTHER RECYCLING BINS IN THE COMMUNITY, LIKE JUST IN GENERAL, LIKE NOT EVEN JUST YOUR RICE, BUT JUST LIKE OTHER RECYCLING BINS.
AND I FEEL LIKE THOSE SOMEHOW MAKE IT WORK, I GUESS, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IF THAT HAPPENED SOMEWHERE, SOMEONE LIKE STANDING THERE SORTING, SO I DON'T KNOW.
I TALKED TO THE GENTLEMEN AT THE DAYTON AIRPORT AND A MAJORITY OF THEIRS GETS THROWN AWAY BECAUSE THEY'D HAVE THEM SIDE BY SIDE.
[00:25:01]
IT IS, I MEAN, YES, SOME OF IT GOES WELL, BUT, AND AGAIN, I FULLY AGREE WITH YOU.I JUST KNOW THE HASSLE THAT COMES ALONG WITH IT IS TRYING TO GET IT SORTED AND THEN HAVING SOMEWHERE TO PUT IT.
OKAY, CHRIS, UM, I AGREE WITH A BASKETBALL COURSE NORTH OF 70.
UH, AND THEN THE OTHER PART IS GOING TO BE THE COURTS THAT WE DO HAVE, UH, WE NEED TO TAKE SOME TIME AND RESURFACE AND PAINT AND REPAIR.
UH, THEY DO GET A TON OF USE IN THE SUMMER AND SPRING AND THE FALL AND, UH, MIGHT AS WELL HAVE IT IN GOOD WORKING SHAPE SINCE WE DO ONLY HAVE A HANDFUL OF COURSE PLAY AT, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A WHEELCHAIR SWING AT ALL THE PARKS.
UH, I KNOW THAT'S ON THE LIST DOWN HERE AND I'VE NEVER REALLY SEEN ANYTHING HERE.
AND HE WERE FORWARD SOMEONE IN A WHEELCHAIR AT A PARTY.
THE NEW PLAYGROUND ACROSS THE CREED WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY WITH THE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT.
BUT, UM, MID 2020 WAS THE FIRST PUBLIC USE APPROVED WHEELCHAIR SWING RELEASED ON THE MARKET.
UM, ALL THE OTHER ONES BEFOREHAND WERE FOR PRIVATE USE DAYCARES FACILITIES THAT CAN PUT THEM AWAY.
UM, LANDSCAPED STRUCTURES HAS ONE.
NOW THAT STAYS ON A TRACK TO WHERE IT DOESN'T CREATE PINCH POINTS OR YOU DON'T HAVE A 500 POUND PLATFORM SWIMMING.
UM, SO THEY'RE ALL IN THE MARKET MAP.
UM, AND I'VE GOT THE INFORMATION ON HIM AND THE PRICING ON, UM, AS PARKS GET REPLACED, THEY WILL, THEY WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE ADDED, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY SOMETHING YOU CAN JUST PLOP DOWN NEAR OR NEXT TO AN EXISTING PLAYGROUND.
SO AS THINGS GET REPLACED A NEW, UH, WE WILL TRY TO WORK THOSE IN, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT WE HAVE ONE APPROVED FOR PUBLIC USE.
AND THEN, AND YOU KNOW, MOTHER THING IS GOING TO BE THE BASEBALL DIAMONDS AND TAKING CARE OF ALL THE STUFF, BECAUSE I KNOW THIS LAST YEAR WAS KIND OF WEIRD BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE CANCELED BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, BUT IT WILL PICK BACK UP AND WE NEED PLACES FOR THE KIDS TO GO AND PLAY AND PRACTICE AND HAVE NICE PLACES.
AND I KNOW YOU SAID WE HAVE TROUBLE BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE, BUT, UH, I THINK HAVING FIELDS THAT AREN'T GROWN UP AND DON'T HAVE BROKEN CHAIN LINK FENCE AND STUFF WHERE THEY CAN GET HURT, THAT'S GONNA BE IMPORTANT.
I MEAN, I DON'T WANT ALL THE SEEDS TO BE SPORTS-RELATED, BUT THAT'S ALL I, YEAH, WE'VE GOT, UM, I'VE GOT PRICING TO REDO ALL THE FIELDS IN THE FALL.
UM, BUT THAT THE EARLIEST ANYBODY COULD BE THERE WAS IN SEPTEMBER.
UM, SO I'VE GOT PRICING TO GET THOSE REDUNDANT.
WE ACTUALLY HAD A GROUP CALLED THE OTHER DAY SAYING, HEY, IF YOU CAN GET A HORRIBLE VIBE AND A CLOUD ART REGAN, WE'LL, WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT ALL WINTER, ALL SPRING, ALL SUMMER, ALL FALL.
UM, SO HOPEFULLY NEXT SEASON WE'LL BE READY TO GO FOR THEM.
SOFTBALL DOES A GREAT JOB WITH THEIR FIELDS.
UM, YOU KNOW, BUT THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE TAKING CARE OF ANY FIELDS AS PARTNERS.
UM, WE DON'T HAVE ANY EQUIPMENT, EVEN THE DRAGON WITH, I MEAN, WE HAVE A ONE CHAIN DRAG, BUT WE HAVE NOTHING TO PULL WITH.
SO IT'S A, THEY TRIED DOING IT WITH A MOWER AND BURN UP A TRANSMISSION.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE IT'S LIKE, I NEED TO FIND SOMEONE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT, YOU KNOW, WANTS TO TAKE THAT ON AND THEN KIND OF GO AROUND AND DO THOSE.
SO CAN YOU CALL A BALLOON? I THINK HE MET WITH SOMEONE LAST WEEK.
AND YOU EXPLAIN WHY YOU WENT OUT THERE AND
THEY DO A PHENOMENAL JOB ON THE SOFTBALL FIELD.
I MEAN, THEY'VE GOT DUGOUTS NOW FOR EVERY, EVERY FIELD OUT THERE WITH FOUR, WHEN WE BUILT THE CITY, BUILT THE DUGOUTS, THEY BOUGHT THE MATERIAL AND WE BUILD THEM WELL, IT LOOKS GOOD.
AND I, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY HAVE TO PUT UP TEMPORARY FENCING EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WHEN SOCCER COMES IN THERE, I THINK WE'VE GOT ENOUGH FIELD OF CLOUD PARK FOR SOCCER, BUT YOU DON'T REALLY MEET THOSE RIGHT AROUND THERE.
YOU'VE GOT IN THE FRONT, YOU GOT THEM UP ON THE HILL.
WELL, THE REASON WE STILL HAVE THE WARRANTS AROUND THE SOFTBALL FIELD IS BECAUSE OF THE CONCESSIONS THING.
IF, IF SOCCER SEASON IS RUNNING AND EVERYBODY'S ON THIS END OF THE PARK AND UP HERE AND OVER HERE, NOBODY'S GOING TO USE THE CONCESSION STATE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S A THING OF OPPORTUNITY.
IT'S NOT A, YOU KNOW, NO REASON TO WALK ACROSS THE PARK TO GET A $2 CANDY BAR.
THAT'S WHY WE DO THE FIELDS THAT WAY.
THEY ONLY HAVE TO, THEY ONLY PUT THE FENCES UP A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE SPRING.
[00:30:01]
IN THE FALL AND THERE'S NO SOCCER GOING ON OTHER THAN WHAT YOUR CLASSIC.SO I THINK IF THEY'RE GOING TO BRING IN ANY KIND OF TOURNAMENT SITUATION, YOU DON'T WANT TO BRING THEM IN.
AND THESE TEMPORARY FENCES IN THE OUTFIELD JUST BE DRESSED.
I THINK IT LOOKS A LITTLE SOFTBALL.
THAT WAS ONE OF ITS COMPONENTS.
ANYTHING ELSE CHRIS? OKAY, MATT, I'M SORRY.
I PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, BUT I KNOW YOU'VE GOT IDEAS.
SO, UM, WELL IT'S AN AREA WE HAVEN'T REALLY TOUCHED ON, UH, WHAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT WITH DOING SOME OUTDOOR SKILLS TYPE AREAS.
IF YOU'VE BEEN TO ANY OF THE STATE PARKS, YOU'LL SEE LIKE AN ARCHERY RANGE, THAT'S SELF SERVICE, THERE'S NO ONSITE MONITORING ANYTHING.
IT'S JUST GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO GO THERE.
UM, AN ORIENTEERING COURSE FOR PEOPLE TO ENJOY IT.
IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT'S MAPPING COMPASS WORK, BASICALLY WE'VE GOT HUGE PARKS.
UM, ALSO GEOCASHING, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT, IT'S USING GPS TO DO LOCATE IS A LOT OF FUN.
IT'S EASY, IT'S VERY ENTRY LEVEL.
SO IT'S NOT VERY EQUIPMENT INTENSIVE FOR THE USER.
AND IT WOULDN'T BE A LOT OF OUTLAY FOR US AS FAR AS THE MATERIAL, IT WOULD JUST BE SETTING THE COURSE UP.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THAT TYPE OF, UM, IN THE PARKS.
UM, AS FAR AS WHAT'S ON THE LIST ALREADY, COTTONWOOD IS A VERY UNDER UTILIZED PARK.
UH, I SEE THAT WHEN THEY'RE ALL THE TIME, IT IS, THERE ARE SOME LOCAL TEAMS WHO PLAY ON THE BASKETBALL COURTS DURING THE SEASON.
YOU'LL SEE KIDS ON THE BASKET, ON THE BASEBALL DIAMONDS, OTHER THAN THAT IT'S EMPTY.
AND I THINK WE COULD DO A LOT MORE THERE.
UM, THE F THE WALKING TRACK IS A GREAT IDEA.
UM, MAYBE PUTTING A WATER FEATURE, LIKE A SPLASH PAD IN THERE TO GET THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS THERE.
UM, BY SHITTY THERE'S A LOT OF KIDS IN THAT AREA.
SO IF WE COULD DO MORE TO DRAW THE KIDS TO THAT PARK, THAT WOULD BE GREAT, BUT THAT'S REALLY ALL I AT THIS POINT.
UM, I'D LIKE TO SEE A LOT MORE TREES PLANTED JUST ACROSS THE PARKS.
UM, I KNOW WE'RE LOSING LIKE A LOT OF OUR ASH TREES JUST, UH, DUE TO THE EMERALD ASH BORER AND A LOT OF THE TREES THAT I SEE, LIKE IN WOODED AREAS, THEY'RE ALL, THEY'RE ALL DEAD, JUST CAUSE THEY'RE ASH TREES.
AND WHEN THERE'S, AND THEY'RE NOT HURTING ANYTHING NOW, BUT ONCE THEY ALL COME DOWN AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME PRETTY LIKE SCANT WOODED AREAS, I WOULD SAY SO, UM, I WILL SAY THAT, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT JOSH AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IS THE MEMORIAL PROGRAM I'M HALFWAY THROUGH WITH THE DRAFT, IT'S TAKEN ME AWHILE.
UM, BUT THE INTENT OF THAT IS TO, UM, YOU KNOW, PART OF THAT WE'LL HAVE CERTAINLY TREES THAT WE CAN PUT IN THE PART.
SO THE COMMUNITY AND THEMSELVES COMMUNITY MEMBERS THEMSELVES CAN GET A MEMORIAL TREE.
AND THEN IN THE FALL YOU GOT IN THE FALL, WE WOULD PLANT THEM WHEREVER THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO GO FOR THAT SPECIFIC TYPE OF TREE.
AND THEN OTHER THINGS THAT WE COULD PUT ON THAT LIST ARE BENCHES, UM, UH, GRILLS, SHELTERS, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT THOSE, SOME OF THOSE THINGS, I THINK IT'S NICE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO HAVE FUNDED IT AS WELL.
AND THERE'LL BE SOMETHING FOR, LET'S SAY, A RESIDENT WHO HAS DONE IT CAN GO IN AND SAY, YES, THIS ONE HERE IS FOR MY FAMILY MEMBER HERE DEDICATED TO MY FAMILY MEMBERS.
SO, UM, SO I HAVE HALF OF IT DRAFTED.
UM, AND THE OTHER HALF I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, AND THEN I'LL SEND IT OVER TO JOSH, UM, FOR HIS THOUGHTS ON IT.
UM, AND THEN, UM, AND THEN WE'LL SIT DOWN AS A BOARD AND TALK ABOUT WHAT YOUR IDEAS ARE AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
BUT, UM, BUT THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO WORK.
AND I FOUND A GOOD EXAMPLE, UM, FROM ANOTHER CITY.
I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS LIST HERE AND I WILL, I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHICH ONES.
OF COURSE, EVERY ONE SORTA TALKED ABOUT THE MOST AS WELL.
UM, SO TOP OF THE LIST RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE THE BASKETBALL, THE BASKETBALL COURTS NORTH OF 17.
NUMBER TWO BATHROOM AT COMMITTEE AND THEN THE REST OF THESE.
ARE SORT OF ALL TIED TOGETHER, UM, AT A FITNESS PAD OR FITNESS PASS, LAST CIRCUIT OR FITNESS EQUIPMENT TO THE PARK INVENTORY, ADD ANOTHER BATHROOM TO THOMAS CLOUD PARK, DEDICATED FIELDS.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE LEADING TO.
AND THEN AT ANOTHER VOLLEYBALL COURT TO THOMAS CLOUD PARK, I ALREADY SAID THAT.
[00:35:01]
THESE ARE THE ADDITIONS THAT YOU WON'T ADD IT.SO WE HAD THE WALKING TRAILS, THE COTTONWOOD PLAYGROUND AT EICHELBERGER, UM, AMPHITHEATER AREA, UM, EXPAND THE SHELL GATE PARKING LOT.
WE SURFACE PAINT AND REPAIR CURRENT BASKETBALL COURTS, WHEELCHAIR SWING AT EACH OF THE PARTS BASEBALL DIAMOND.
UM, AND I PUT THAT ONE UNDER MAINTENANCE, BUT THAT YOU ALL UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M WITH THAT, UM, OUTDOOR SKILLS PROGRAMMING.
SO THAT'S THE ORIENTEERING GEOCASHING WATER FEATURE AT COTTONWOOD.
AND WHAT HAVE YOU TRIED AT OTHER PARKS AS WELL? SO, UM, WE HAVE 22.
I KNOW I MISSED A COUPLE, SO LET ME GO BACK THROUGH HERE.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE ON HERE FROM THE LAST ONE, UM, ADD MODERN, INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY TO THE PARTS.
SO THAT'S BASICALLY THINGS LIKE, UM, USB CHARGING.
UM, WHEN YOU DRIVE INTO A PART, YOUR PHONE WOULD GET PINGED IN, UH, PROVIDE YOU WITH THE MAP OF THE AMENITIES AND WHERE THEY ARE WITHIN THE PARK.
UM, SO IT'S A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
QR CODES, YOU KNOW, TO, TO, WE PUT THEM AT THE SHELTERS OR WE PUT THEM AT THE ENTRANCE OR SOMEWHERE, AND YOU CAN SCAN, LET'S SAY, IF YOU'RE AT A SHELTER, YOU COULD SCAN IT.
IT'LL TAKE YOU TO A CALENDAR TO SEE IF THAT SHELTER IS BOOKED FOR THE DAY.
UM, AND THEN WE ALSO SAID ADD RECYCLING TO BIGGER PARTS, UM, IN PLACES WHERE THERE ARE SPORTING EVENTS THOUGH.
EVERYONE LEAVE ME TO READ THAT AGAIN.
SO WE HAVE 22, 22 ITEMS ON THE CURRENT LIST RIGHT NOW.
UM, SO WHAT DO YOU WANT ONE TO, DO YOU ALL WANT TO GO WITH A 22 OR DO YOU WANT TO PRIORITIZE THESE AND KNOCK THEM DOWN TO 10, LEAVING THAT OPEN TO YOU? BUT I JUMPED RIGHT IN, I THINK IT WAS 22.
YOU TEND TO LOSE FOCUSED ON WHICH WHATEVER WAS THERE.
IF YOU'RE NARROWED DOWN TO 10 EASY, YOU KNOW, YOU, I MAY NOT BE IN THAT TOP 10.
AT LEAST YOU CAN STILL FOCUS ON 10 ITEMS BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET TO BE OLD, AS I AM CUBAN 22 THINGS IN YOUR MIND OLD, OR YOU GO FORGET ADVISOR, I SAY, STICK WITH THE 10 AND PRIORITIZE THOSE.
I'D SAY LIKE 10 PLUS HONORABLE MENTION.
SO, UM, BASED ON OUR CONVERSATION TODAY AND JUST NOW BASKETBALL COURTS SEEM TO BE TOP OF THE LIST, AT LEAST THREE OF YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT.
SO WE ALL AGREE THAT THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A GOOD ONE, RIGHT? THE SECOND ONE IS THE BATHROOM AT COMMUNITY PARK.
AND THEN THESE OTHERS, UM, YEAH, THE OTHER ONES HERE ALL HAVE ONES.
SO WE WOULD NEED TO DETERMINE WHICH ONE NOW.
NO, THAT THE FOLLOWING ONES THAT I'M GOING TO MENTION WERE ON THE LIST FROM LAST TIME.
AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY HAVE NUMBERS THAT YOU WON'T HAVE NOW.
SO WE HAVE, UH, ADD A FITNESS PAD, DEDICATED FIELDS AT ANOTHER BATHROOM TO THOMAS PELL PARK AND MODERN INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY AND ADD ANOTHER VOLLEYBALL COURT TO THOMAS CLOUD PARK SEVEN.
SO IF WE ADDED THE BATHROOM TO COMMUNITY, THAT WOULD BE EIGHT.
SO THEN WE USED TO HAVE A BATHROOM IN COMMUNITY AND WE SHUT THAT DOWN.
BUILDINGS TORE THE BUILDING DOWN OVER THE WINTER TIME.
SO THE RESTROOMS WERE JUST EVERY TIME YOU FIXED THAT THEY WILL BRING WORSE.
AND, UH, IT WAS GETTING TO THE POINT THAT THE, THE STRUCTURE ITSELF, THE JOIST IN THE ROOF WHERE WERE FRACTURING AND SPLINTERING, IT WASN'T DUE TO DAMAGE BEING, NONE OF THEM ARE
AND THEN THEY SET IT FOR RENTAL USE ONLY,
[00:40:01]
BUT THEN IT WASN'T AVAILABLE FOR RENTAL.SO THEY JUST KIND OF DECAY AWAY.
SO I GUESS I'M SAYING IF WE DO IT, IT WOULD BE FOR RENTAL USE ONLY IF WE DID IT, WE WOULD, WE WOULD EITHER CONNECT IT TO A SHELTER OR JUST HAVE A FREESTANDING BATHROOM AND THEN MAKE THE GAZEBO RENTABLE, UM, IN ORDER TO GET THEM USED BECAUSE YEAH, THERE'S, UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE ON LOCKED ALL THE TIME.
SO APPLICATION MY OPINION IS THAT WE CAN'T LEAVE THEM A LOT AND WE'VE ALREADY HAD AN ISSUE THERE.
WHY WOULD WE CHASE BAD MONEY AND DO IT AGAIN? I MEAN, I'M JUST SPEAKING OUT LOUD.
I USED TO USE COMMUNITY ALL THE TIME FOR FOOTBALL.
BUT IF YOU, IF YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE DOORS OPEN AND HAVING 24 7 FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE USING THE PARK, WHICH IS WHAT I THINK WE'RE ALL LOOKING FOR IS IF YOU'RE THERE WITH YOUR KID PLAYING BASKETBALL, OR YOU'RE PLAYING CATCH, YOU WANT TO GO USE THE BATHROOM.
IF WE CAN'T DO THAT, THEN IT'S NOT, IN MY OPINION, A VALUE ADDED.
THAT'S A GOOD TITLE, FOOTAGE, CUSTOMS, BECAUSE FOR ONE YEAR, BUT I'VE BEEN HERE.
A LOT OF THE ADULTS DON'T USE THE MEMORY PART, WHATEVER REASON, BECAUSE THEY NEVER USED THE RESTROOM.
AND HE GOT TO DRIVE DOWN TO THE SERVICE STATION UP TO THE FAST FOOD PLACE AND COME BACK.
AND A LOT OF THEM JUST DO NOT USE IT FOR THAT PARTICULAR BREED PAR, BUT THAT'S WHY THEY DON'T GO.
NOW, THE OTHER PARTY ORDERS GO TO THE GOOD POINT.
IT, THE 24 7, WHATEVER PROBLEM COMES IN BECAUSE WHEN YOU LEAVE IT, BUT AT THIS TIME IT COULD LEAVE TO THE NINE O'CLOCK.
BUT COME DECEMBER, YOU GOT TO CLOSE IT DOWN AT FIVE O'CLOCK.
AND SO WHAT IT IS, IT'S JUST EVEN LIKE THIS YEAR IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT SHOAL GATE HAS BEEN OPEN ALL THE TIME AND SHE'LL GET USED TO BE BY RESERVATION ONLY, BUT THAT PART GETS USED A LOT.
SO I SAID, OKAY, LET'S PUT IT ON A TRIAL AND SEE HOW IT GOES.
WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT BEING DAMAGED YET.
SO WE'VE LEFT IT OPEN, BUT COTTONWOOD IS STILL ON RESERVATION ONLY.
AND SOME OF THAT IS BECAUSE IT'S SO OUT OF THE WAY THAT THERE'S REALLY, NO, THERE'S NOT A TON OF TRAFFIC AND NOT A TON OF PEOPLE THERE THAT CAN KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS.
OR THAT WOULD NOTICE IF SOMEBODY WAS IN THERE DOING SOMETHING.
BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WE HAD BEFORE, IF YOU KNOW, WHAT THAT SOMEONE GOING UP IN THE DARK BAG OF CONCRETE, STEAM IT AND POUR IT DOWN THE PLUMBING.
WELL, WE ALL KNOW THAT'S A REAL DISASTER RIGHT THERE.
AND SO YOU WOULD HAVE A GUY WALKING DOWN THE STREET WITH A BAG OF SEED MILK, YOU KNOW, THIS TIME OF DAY, BUT AT NIGHT, THAT'S WHAT FAMILY NEED TO FIND A WAY TO CONTROL ACCESS TO IT.
AND IT MIGHT WORK AUTOMATICALLY.
EVEN AT CLOUD PARK SHOW GATE, THEY ALL OFF LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AT 9:00 PM.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THINGS DON'T HAPPEN.
UM, THE CONCESSION STAND AT CLOUD PARK, UM, FALL OF LIKE, WELL, THE WHOLE CONCESSION THING THAT WAS BEFORE THEY LOCKED UP MAGICALLY THE NEW CONCESSION STAND, UM, THEY RIPPED THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN OFF THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING.
UM, IT'S GOT GLASS BLOCKS TO ALLOW LIGHT INTO THE WINDOW.
THEY THROW ROCKS THROUGH THOSE GLASS BLOCKS.
AND ONCE THEY MAKE IT THROUGH THERE, IT SHATTERS THE MIRROR AND THEY BROKE ONE OF THE SIX.
SO, I MEAN, THEY'RE THERE, THERE'S A LOT OF DAMAGE TO GET DONE THAT GETS DONE AT COMMUNITY DEPARTMENT.
EVERY YEAR, THERE'S SOMETHING THEY HAD TO GIVE YOUR PLACE AT THAT FOOTBALL FIELD, BECAUSE SOMEONE TRIED TO BURN DOWN THE PRESS BOX OR SOMEBODY TRIED TO BREAK INTO THE CONCESSION STAND.
SO I'M JUST SAYING, I MEAN, A LOT OF STUFF GETS DONE.
IT'S IT'S, I MEAN, I, I FULLY AGREE WITH YOU, BUT IT'S JUST, LIKE YOU SAID, YOU'VE PUT ALL THIS MONEY INTO IT IN ANY RESTAURANT FACILITY YOU BUILD, YOU'RE TALKING EASY QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS.
UM, SO TO HAVE SOMETHING THERE, AND THEN AT WHAT POINT, YOU KNOW, ARE WE TIRED OF CHASING OUR TAIL? AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE, WE WERE ALWAYS, WE WASTED OUR MONEY.
SO NOW IF THERE'S A WAY TO DO LIKE THE METRO PARK DOES, THEY'RE NOT AS PLEASANT, THEY'RE NOTHING MORE THAN A GLORIFIED PORTAJOHN, BUT YOU HAVE THE PIT AND THEN YOU HAVE A COMPANY COME AND CLEAN IT OUT ONCE A WEEK, BUT IT'S STILL BETTER THAN A PORTABLE ONE.
ONE OF THOSE TRAILERS THAT HAS THE WATER THAT YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU SEE THEM AT CONCERTS AND STUFF.
CAN WE GET ONE AT THE ROSE? I THINK WE LOOKED AT ONE FOR THE BARN AND TO RENT, IT WAS 30,000 A YEAR, BUT TO BUY IT WAS 60, BUT ONCE YOU BUY IT, YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF ALL THE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE.
UM, SO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, THAT THAT'S AN OPTION, BUT AGAIN, IT'S AN EXPENSIVE OPTION, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE UP THERE.
SO, SO JUST BASED OFF THAT CONVERSATION CURRENTLY, WE HAVE, WE WOULD HAVE EIGHT BECAUSE ADDING THE BATHROOM WOULD BE THE EIGHTH ONE.
SO THE QUESTION WOULD BE, DO YOU WANT ONE TO READJUST THE ENTIRE LIST OR JUST LOOK AT BINDING THREE MORE?
[00:45:01]
BECAUSE I MEAN, TECHNICALLY BALANCED STUDENT ALLIANCE HAD BEEN APPROVED TO BE ON THE LIST YET, BUT ADDING THREE MORE TO GET TO 10, HOW DO YOU ALL WANT TO DO IT? AND I MADE THE SUGGESTION.UM, YOU KNOW, CAUSE I DON'T THINK EVERYBODY HAS THEIR LIST IN FRONT OF THEM, BUT IF THERE'S A WAY TO TAKE, YOU KNOW, THE EXTRA ONES THAT ARE THERE AND ALMOST MAKE A, A FLOATING POLL THAT EVERYBODY CAN GO AND CLICK THERE'S.
UM, AND THEN HAVE THAT TO WHERE I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE THE EASIEST WAY WHERE WHAT CAN ACTUALLY LOOK AT EVERY ITEM ON THE LIST AND, AND TAKE THE TIME TO CONTEMPLATE OTHER THAN JUST MAKING A QUICK DECISION NOW.
SO IF YOU ALL WANT TO DO THAT, I CAN DO THE SAME THING THAT WE DID WHEN WE DID THIS INITIAL LIST HERE WITH THE RANKING THAT ROB PROVIDED, I STILL HAVE THE PORN.
UM, THE, WE CAN DO THE WHOLE POINTLESS.
YOU ALL WOULD RANK IT AND GO FROM THERE.
SO I WILL SEND THAT OVER TO YOU GUYS FOR OUR NEXT MEETING.
UM, YOU'LL GET IT TOMORROW, CAUSE I'M OFF TOMORROW.
SO, UM, SO YOU'LL GET THAT TOMORROW.
UM, AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE A MOM TO RACK AND STACK IT.
I'LL SEND YOU INSTRUCTIONS WITH THAT AS WELL.
SO EVERYONE HERE DOES HAVE EVERYONE HERE HAS EMAIL AND EVERYONE HERE HAS XCEL, CORRECT? YES.
I WILL SEND IT INTO YOU IN AN EXCEL FORMAT, NON MAC FORMAT.
SO THAT WAY IT'S EASIER FOR YOU ALL.
SO THE NEXT ITEM THAT WE HAVE ON HERE AS WELL, UM, FOR THIS MONTH, WHAT'S THE MAINTENANCE.
SO, UM, THIS'LL BE THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAVE, WE WILL HAVE DONE THE MAINTENANCE LIST.
SO WHAT I WILL DO IS I'LL DO THE SAME THING.
I'LL TAKE EVERYTHING, THAT'S MAINTENANCE, UM, MAKE IT, MAKE IT ITS OWN SPREADSHEET AND THEN YOU ALL CAN RACK AND STACK IT ACCORDINGLY.
AND THEN I'LL GATHER IT AND WE'LL, WE'LL DO THE FORMULA, THEN I'LL SEND IT BACK OUT.
AND I WILL SAY TOO, THERE MAY BE A COUPLE OF THINGS ON THE PRIORITY LIST THAT MAY FALL UNDER MAINTENANCE, LIKE THE BASKETBALL COURTS.
I, THE COMPANY THAT DID OUR TENNIS COURTS, THEY DON'T DO BASKETBALL COURTS, BUT THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T BE WILLING TO COME AND DO THE CRACKS.
AT LEAST THEN WE'D HAVE TO HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE COME IN AND OVERLAY THEM AND RESTRIKE.
UM, SO ONCE I GET BACK TOUCH WITH THEM, I CAN GET THE PRICING FOR THAT.
UM, I'M TRYING TO SEE IF I CAN FIND SOMEONE THAT WE CAN KIND OF DO GET A PACKAGE DEAL FOR THE NEW ONE AND THEN, YOU KNOW, SOME REPAIR OF THE OTHER ONES.
SO THINGS LIKE, I MEAN, TOO, AS WE'RE LOOKING THROUGH THE PRIORITY LIST, FIND THINGS THAT MAY FALL MORE UNDER MAINTENANCE THEN.
CAUSE THE TWO OF THE ITEMS, UM, RIPPING AND MOVE ON AND BACK AND THE OPEN TO PROGRAMMING, UM, CAUSE THAT'S, THAT'S EASY STUFF THAT WE CAN DO.
I HAVE THAT OVER TO YOU ALL TOMORROW.
TOMORROW, UM, BOTH LISTS AND THEN I WANT TO BE MAINTENANCE.
UM, AND THEN WHEN YOU GET IT, WHEN YOU SIT, WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, SEND IT BACK TO ME.
AND THEN WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL, I WILL TAKE IT, PUT IT ALL TOGETHER, DO THE FORMULA AND THEN SEND IT BACK OUT TO YOU AGAIN.
AND THEN THAT WAY YOU ALL CAN ALL SEE BASED ON EVERYONE HERE AND THEIR VOTE, WHERE EVERYTHING SITS WHEN IT COMES TO THE COLOR CODING AND THE RACK AND STACK.
GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE, PROGRAMMING DISCUSSION.
SO, UM, THIS IS WHERE I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO ASK YOU TO TALK ABOUT YOUR IDEA HERE.
UM, SO, UM, WHEN WE DID, UM, MADS INTERVIEW, UM, HE MENTIONED TWO GREAT THINGS THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE OR EVEN TALKED ABOUT.
UM, AND THEY FALL UNDER PROGRAMMING TODAY.
UM, ONE WAS THE GPS WHEN, UH, THE GEO CACHING AND THE OTHER ONE WAS THE ORIENTEERING.
UM, SO I THINK THOSE ARE GREAT IDEAS THAT WE CAN LOOK INTO, UM, FOR HOPEFULLY A PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH OR SUMMER.
UM, WE DO HAVE PARKS OF RECREATION COMING UP NEXT MONTH.
IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE TOO SOON TO DO ANYTHING TO ANYTHING, BUT IF WE CAN LOOK AT IT AND JUST, YOU KNOW, START FIGURING SOME STUFF OUT, THAT THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS HAVE YOU TAKE THE LEAD ON THAT, UM, AND WORK WITH JOSH, OF COURSE.
UM, BUT JUST TAKE THE LEAD, TRY TO COME UP WITH A PLAN OR AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU THINK IT COULD POTENTIALLY LOOK LIKE AND WHAT YOU WOULD NEED.
AND THEN JOSH CAN HELP WITH SOME, WITH SOME OF THE OTHER CITY DETAILS, UM, AND THEY JUST BRING IT BACK TO US.
UM, YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T WANT ME TO BE GETTING ANYTHING THIS YEAR FOR THIS MONTH
[00:50:01]
NOW BECAUSE PARTS OF RECREATION MOM DOES NEXT MONTH AND HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO A COUPLE OF THINGS THIS YEAR.UM, DO YOU THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO ANY PROGRAMMING FOR NEXT MONTH? LIKE PAINT, LIKE, UM, ROCK PAINTING OR ANYTHING? YEAH.
I WAS GOING TO REACH OUT TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE WE USE IN THE PAST.
I KNOW THE BARSTOOLS OF BRUSHSTROKES HAD REACHED OUT WANTING TO KNOW IF THERE, IF WE GOT ANYTHING THAT THEY COULD DO.
UM, AND, UH, WE STILL HAVE PLENTY OF SUPPLIES LEFT FROM THE LAST ROCK PAINTING THAT WE COULD PUT THAT TOGETHER.
UM, I KNOW THAT, UH, THE LIBRARY HAS ALREADY SET UP THINGS FOR THE SUMMER FOR THEMSELVES AND THEY ARE COMING TO THREE WEEKS OUT OF EVERY MONTH, I THINK JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, MAYBE NOT JUNE, BUT I KNOW FOR SURE, JULY, AUGUST, AND THEN SEPTEMBER, THEY'RE ALREADY COMING TO THE PARKS TO DO SOME, SOME STORY TIME AND READING WITH KIDS.
UM, SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE SENDING ME THAT FINALIZED CALENDAR, UM, NEXT WEEK.
UM, SO WE'LL GET THAT OUT AS WELL, BUT YEAH, I MEAN, THERE'S, THERE'S PLENTY OF OTHER THINGS TO DO.
WE'VE GOT SKYHAWKS SPORTS IS GOING TO BE DOING SOME CAMPS AT CLOUD PARK, UH, THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER.
UM, AND, UH, TRYING TO JUST KIND OF DRUM UP A LITTLE MORE THERE AND THEN WE HAVE, I'M TRYING TO THINK WHAT ELSE WE HAVE WILL HARPER HE'S A TENNIS PLAYER FROM U D.
HE IS GOING TO BE RUNNING SOME TENNIS STUFF FOR US THIS SUMMER.
AND, UM, HE'S GETTING HIS FINALIZED CALENDAR TO ME AS WELL.
HE'S BEEN WORKING WITH CHRIS TO MAKE SURE THAT NONE OF HIS DATES INTERFERE WITH THINGS WE ALREADY HAVE.
AND IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE, WE CAN DO THE, UM, THE FIRE TRUCKS, THE TRUCKS IN THE, UM, THE WOOD TRUCKS? YEAH.
AND WE WERE GOING TO DO THOSE AT THE FARMER'S MARKET.
UM, SO YEAH, WE COULD GET THOSE IF WE COULD PROBABLY DO A COUPLE OF SATURDAYS IN JULY FOR THOSE AS WELL.
UM, CINDY DAVIDSON DONATED SOME HOME DEPOT KIDS.
UH, I THINK ONE SEVEN IS CRANES AND THEN THE OTHER SET WAS I SOME SOCCER GOALS.
UM, TWO YEARS AGO WE HAD SOME DONATING KIDS WHERE WE HAD THE KIDS COME.
THEY CAN PAINT THEM, PUT IT TOGETHER.
AND IT WAS, UH, IT WAS A QUITE A FUN EXPERIENCE.
SO WE WILL SET THAT UP PROBABLY AT FARMER'S MARKET DATES THAT KIND OF HELP DRUM UP SOME BUSINESS THERE AS WELL.
UM, I'VE SPOKE TO DOUG WAMPLER AND ENGAGED TO THE CHURCH, BUT I'M COMING AND HELPING RUN, UM, THOSE ACTIVITIES.
SO HOPEFULLY I'LL HEAR BACK FROM HIM SOON ABOUT THAT.
IF NOT, WE'LL MOVE ON AND FIND, UH, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE ELSE WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
AND AGAIN, UM, YOU ALL ARE OPEN TO HELP VOLUNTEER, TO HELP PUT ON A BIN AS WELL.
SO IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA AND WE'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO HELP PUT IT TOGETHER TO HELP TAKE THE LEAD ON IT, YOU'LL GET VOLUNTEERS AND ALL OF THAT.
UM, AND I WOULD HOPE THAT WE GOING TO CONTINUE DOING AN ADOPTIVE PART THAT WAS SORRY, A PARK CLEANUP, UM, AS WELL.
UM, AND THEN, UM, THE NEXT ONE THAT I WOULD THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT, IT'S THE, A PARKS OF LAKE I NEED TO GET WITH YOU WITH YOUR SCHEDULE.
UM, BECAUSE, UM, I SAW A PHOTO OF, UM, BELL PLAYING TODAY.
AND IT'S JUST KIND OF WITH AN IDEA THAT WAS JUST A GRUMPY RESIDENT ON THAT, BUT I MEAN, BUT THAT'S SORT OF, YOU KNOW, SO I WANT TO LOOK AT THE FLOWER THINGS AND THEN I'M GOING TO SEE HOW I CAN GET THE WORD OUT, TO SEE A PEAK THEIR INTEREST.
I KNOW YOU'VE GOT SOME NAMES, UM, BUT LET'S GO WANT TO SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME MORE INTEREST OF FOLKS WHO WANT TO HELP ADOPT THOSE, UM, THOSE GARDEN AREAS.
UM, AND THEN WE CAN WORK TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET SOIL AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF THERE AS WELL.
THE PROBLEM WITH BELL, SOMEBODY GOT A YELLOW SIGN IN THEIR YARD, AND THEN THEY MOVED INTO THE FLOWER BED, WHICH THE GRASS IS A LITTLE LONG, SO REAL FAST.
IF IT, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY DOES, HAS NOTICE, UM, WE'VE HAD A FEW PHONE CALLS ABOUT IT, RIP RAP PARK AND A COUPLE AREAS AT CLOUD PARK.
THE AREA OF THE GRASS THAT IS DEAD IS INTENTIONAL.
THAT IS THE PREPARATION FOR THE POLLINATOR PASTURE.
UM, WE GOT A CALL FROM THE EPA GUY THAT LIKE, IT LOOKS OVER OUR SPRING STUFF AND HE WAS LIKE, WHOA, YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED HERE? AND WE TOLD HIM, NO, THAT WAS PLAN.
SO THAT'LL GET PLANTED IN DECEMBER AND WE'LL START SEEING THOSE AREAS POP UP.
NEXT YEAR, WE GOT, UM, 12 ACRES TOTAL.
I THINK IT'S LIKE EIGHT AT RIP RAP.
AND THEN FOUR BETWEEN THE TWO AREAS OF CLOUD PARK.
THAT'LL JUST CAUSE THE AREA IS GOING TO BE MOWED THAT WE DON'T USE FOR ANYTHING ELSE.
AND THERE'S NO POINT IN SPENDING MONEY IN THE BOAT.
SO WE'RE GOING TO CONVERT IT BACK TO NATURE AND LET HER DO HER THING.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON, ON PROGRAMMING? YES.
UH, MATT, I REALLY LIKED THE ORIENTEERING AND GEOCASHING IDEA.
I HAD A THOUGHT AND I DON'T KNOW YOUR BACKGROUND WITH ORIENTEERING.
UM, YOU PROBABLY KNOW WAY MORE THAN I DO, BUT, UM, I KNOW THAT THERE
[00:55:01]
ARE LIKE LOCAL, LIKE ORIENTEERING ASSOCIATION AND THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WHERE IT'S LIKE, HEY, WE HAVE THIS PLOT OF LAND.IF YOU GUYS LIKE MAKE THE ORIENTEERING COURSE FOR US, WE'LL GIVE YOU MONEY TO HELP DO IT.
BUT THAT'S KIND OF ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT I WAS THINKING.
UM, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH WHAT OUR, UM, LOCAL PARK DISTRICT DOES, WHERE THEY WILL BRING IN, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, FLY FISHING.
SO THE LOCAL FIVE FISHING CLUB COMES IN AND THEY SET UP FOR PRACTICES AND TO GET PEOPLE INTERESTED, BRINGING THEY BRING EQUIPMENT.
I WAS THINKING SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, BUT THERE IS AN ORIENTEERING GROUP.
THERE IS A GEOCASHING GROUP IN THIS AREA, IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN TO OUTDOOR FEST OVER THE HYDRO BOWL, UM, AT THE PARK RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
UM, SUBARU DOES IT AND UM, THEY BRING IN GROUPS LIKE THAT.
SO I WAS KIND OF THINKING SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, ONCE THE TRAILS ARE DONE IN DIAL PARK, UH, CAUSE THAT'S GONNA BE MULTI-USE FOR HIKING AND CYCLING AND IT HAS A PLACE I KNOW WE DID SEE, UH, UM, THE GEOCASHING YEAH.
MAYBE ARE ALREADY EVEN CARRIED WHEN I WAS A KID, IT WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, THEY CHEATED, THEY WOULDN'T PUT AN ORANGE TAG ON THE COUNTRY, SO YOU COULD FIND IT, BUT YOU KNOW, STILL WE'LL HAVE THE SPACE OUT THERE TO BE ABLE TO DO THINGS LIKE THAT AS WELL.
SO, AND THAT CAN BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN USE TO LIKE A QR CODE FOR TWO THAT YOU SCAN AND GET THE, LIKE THE COURSE ON YOUR PHONE FOR THE PEOPLE TO USE.
AND WE HAVE ACTUALLY, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CREATE A LOT OF THOSE IN HOUSE.
SO IT'S JUST KIND OF HAVING THE MAP AND THINGS.
AND ONCE WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION IN THE QR CODE CAN BE CREATED EASILY BECAUSE WE'RE USING THEM FOR THE MUSIC AND FOR THE SUMMER MOVIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT AS WELL.
SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GO ONTO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE.
UH, NEW BUSINESS PARK CLEANUP.
SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND TURN IT OVER TO BLAKE.
SO LAST SATURDAY WE CLEANED UP THE HEBREW HEIGHTS DOG PARK AT A FIRE FIELD AND WE HAD A TOTAL OF THREE VOLUNTEERS INCLUDING MYSELF.
THANK YOU, MOM AND DAD, BUT IT WAS GREAT.
WE GOT THE WHOLE PARK CLEANED UP IN ABOUT 45 MINUTES AND I THINK IT WAS A PERFECT AMOUNT OF PEOPLE, HONESTLY.
SO IT WASN'T, YEAH, IT WASN'T TERRIBLE SHAPE, BUT WE GOT SOME GOOD, GOOD TRASH PICKED UP AND I PULLED SOME WEEDS ALONG THE TRAIL.
IT WAS KIND OF OVERGROUND AND TRAIL AND UH, YEAH, LOOKING GOOD.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR BLAKE? THE THING MOM AND DAD.
UM, SO ADDITIONAL BUSINESS ITEMS. UM, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING NEW TO THE LEFT, RIGHT? NO.
SO, UH, THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE IS APPROVAL APPROVAL OF MINUTES.
HAS EVERYONE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE MINUTES? YES.
SO IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS, NO OBJECTIONS TO THE MINUTES AS WRITTEN, THE MINUTES WILL BE APPROVED.
OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE ON JULY 15TH AT 6:30 PM AND IT IS 7 29.
