[ AGENDA PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road October 21, 2021 6:30 P.M.]
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET THE MEETING STARTED.ROLL CALL ALEX BLACK SIDNEY SNAP HERE.
SO I DID RECEIVE A MESSAGE FROM ALEX, DENNIS SYDNEY, AND BRYANT, AND THEY ALL COULD NOT MAKE IT TODAY.
UM, SO IS THERE A MOTION TO EXCUSE THE ABSENTEES? OKAY.
IS THERE A SECOND? OKAY, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE.
SO GO AHEAD AND MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ITEM.
ARE THERE ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS? NOPE.
SO NOW WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE OLD BUSINESS.
UM, SO JOSH, UM, MESSES WRAP EVERYTHING UP IN YOURS, STARTING WITH THE LONG-TERM LEASING.
AND THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE DOWN TO YOUR NUMBER THREE.
LET ME SEE THAT SO I CAN KEEP TRACK OF ALL OF IT.
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY HAS BEEN OVER BY MONITA THIS WEEK OR LAST, UM, BUT THEY ARE A BUILDING AWAY OVER THERE.
THE PUMP TRACK IS I IMAGINED WHEN THEY BUILT IT, THAT IT WAS ALL GOING TO BE SITTING UP, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY SUNK DOWN INTO THE HILLSIDE A LOT.
SO, UH, IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY NEAT.
UH, TOMMY ZULA WAS ACTUALLY UP THERE TODAY, HELPING BUILD A LITTLE BIT.
UM, THE BMX TRACK IS UNDERWAY AND BOTH OF THOSE SHOULD BE WRAPPED UP.
THEY TOLD ME TODAY, PROBABLY WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, UM, THE SKATE RAMPS SHOULD BE DELIVERED WEDNESDAY.
WE GOT PUSHED OFF ANOTHER WEEK AND THEN WE GOT PUSHED OFF ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS CAUSE THEY HAD A, UH, A CREW THAT WAS FINISHING UP ANOTHER JOB.
SO WEDNESDAY THAT SHOULD ALL BE DELIVERED TO THEY'LL START CONSTRUCTION ON IT.
AND THEN, UM, OF COURSE THE PERIMETER SKILLS LOOP WILL BE IN THE SPRING.
UM, BUT NOW THAT WE'VE BEEN UP THERE AND SEEING WHERE THINGS ARE LAID OUT AT AND LIKE, IT GIVES US SOME TIME TO REDESIGN THAT PERIMETER LOOP.
THERE'S A GOOD LITTLE WOODED SECTION THAT WE CAN JUST KIND OF RUN ONE LITTLE PIECE THROUGH JUST TO ADD A LITTLE EXTRA TO IT IN THE BACK CORNER THERE.
SO THAT'S GOING ALONG REAL WELL.
WHAT ELSE WE GOT LONG-TERM LEASE AGREEMENT.
UM, COUNCIL DID APPROVE, I BELIEVE, OR DO THEY JUST, IT'S GOING TO COUNCIL THIS WEEK, RIGHT? UH, FOR THE LONGTERM LEASE AGREEMENTS FOR CLOUD PARK AND FROM JUANITA FIELD, UM, HUBER HEIGHTS, SOFTBALL IS NOW HUBER HEIGHTS, BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION OR SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL, DEPENDING ON WHICH WEBSITE YOU LOOK AT.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'VE DECIDED OFFICIALLY YET.
UH, JAN HENDRICKSON DID TURN OVER KEYS TO ALL OF LITTLE LEAGUES EQUIPMENT.
SHE'S GOING TO HOLD ONTO THE, UM, LICENSING OR, OR WHATEVER FOR LITTLE LEAGUE FOR A YEAR.
IF THEY DECIDE THEY WANT IT AT THAT TIME, SHE WILL TURN IT OVER.
IF NOT, THEN WE WILL JUST HAVE A REC BASEBALL LEAGUE IN HUBER.
LITERALLY HE DOESN'T PLAN ON COMING BACK.
SO THEY WILL HAVE ALL THE FIELDS AT CLOUD.
PLUS THE TWO OF MANITA, WELL MINUS FIELD ONE FOR NOW, UH, BETHEL IS STILL GONNA USE THAT ONE IN THE SPRING, WHICH ALSO BRINGS US TO THE, UH, GET THOSE FIELDS BEING REDONE.
THE GENTLEMAN I WAS WORKING WITH AT LAWN PLUS HAS SINCE MOVED ON.
SO NOW I'M TRYING TO FIND SOMEBODY ELSE AT LAWN PLUS THAT WILL ANSWER MY PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS TO GET THOSE FIELDS GOING.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET ALL THAT WORK DONE.
I DID SPEAK TO THE, OR LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR THE COMPANY OWNER TODAY.
HOPEFULLY HE'LL GET BACK WITH ME SO WE CAN GET ALL THAT GOING QUICKLY.
SO QUICK QUESTION, EVEN WITH THE, THIS LONG LEASE IN PLACE THAT DOES NOT PREVENT US FROM ALLOWING OTHER USERS TO UTILIZE THOSE FIELDS, CORRECT.
AS LONG AS IT'S NOT DURING THEIR, THEIR SEASON.
SO LIKE THEY'LL HAVE A SPRING SEASON AND A FALL SEASON.
IF THEY SIGN A LONG-TERM LEASE.
IF THEY'RE NOT HAVING PRACTICE, YOU KNOW, YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS CAN GO SHOW UP AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.
BUT AS FAR AS LEASING IT TO ANOTHER ENTITY DURING THAT TIME, NO, NO, NOT NECESSARILY LEASING IT, BUT LET'S SAY IF WE WANTED, IF YOU WANTED TO GO OUT THERE AND HAVE A BASEBALL GAME ON A FLIGHT.
IF THEY'RE NOT IN USE THAT DAY, THEN YEAH.
THEY'RE STILL OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
BUT THEY'LL ULTIMATELY THEIR SCHEDULE DETERMINES WHEN THEY'RE AVAILABLE.
SO IF SOMEONE WANTED TO GO IN AND UTILIZE THOSE FIELDS, WHEN THEY'RE NOT BEING USED, HOW DO THEY VERIFY? DO THEY JUST CALL THE Y PROBABLY CHRIS SHOULD HAVE THEIR SCHEDULES.
[00:05:01]
PERFECT.THAT WOULD, BECAUSE THE IS THE ONE THAT DOES ALL THAT.
ANYTHING, ANYTHING SCHEDULING, WHETHER IT'S, UM, SHELTERS OR FIELDS ALL GO THROUGH THE YMCA? NO, THEY'RE NOT NOW.
NO, THEY WANTED TO, BUT THEN, UH, SOFTBALL SAID THAT THEY WERE INTERESTED IN THOSE FIELDS.
SO WE DISCUSSED AND WE WERE, WE DECIDED IT WAS BETTER TO GO WITH THE LOCAL IN-TOWN GROUP TO ALLOW THEM TO EXPAND THEIR SYSTEM SINCE THEY DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE A BASEBALL LEAGUE AT ALL.
SO NOW HEBREW HEIGHTS, SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL WILL BE RUNNING BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL AND UBER.
UM, WE HAD A DISCUSSION, BUT NOTHING EVER SET IN STONE BECAUSE WE COULDN'T SIGN A LONG-TERM LEASE WITHOUT COUNCIL'S APPROVAL.
HEY JOSH, CAN YOU REFRESH MY MEMORY WITH THE LONG-TERM LEASE? WHAT, WHAT IS, WHAT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY? WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY? I MEAN, ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING AND MAINTENANCE? AND SO WE'RE CORRECTING SOME OF THE LANGUAGE ON THE FORM NOW, UH, AS FAR AS MAINTENANCE, THEY WILL MAINTAIN THE FIELDS AND THEY'LL RUN AND OPERATE THE CONCESSION STAND.
BUT AS FAR AS LIKE, IF, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMETHING MAJOR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING BREAKS ON THE BUILDING ITSELF FOR THE CONCESSION STAND THAT'S ON US TO REPAIR.
UM, IF, UH, I THINK MOST OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT'S IN THE CONCESSION STAND BELONGS TO THE CITY AS WELL.
SO IF A, THE MAJOR PIECE OF EQUIPMENT GOES DOWN, WE'LL REPAIR THAT OR HAVE IT REPAIRED.
UM, SO REALLY THEIR MAINTENANCE IS JUST TAKING CARE OF THE FIELDS.
YOU KNOW, WE MOW THE GRASS, THEY'LL GO IN AND MOW KIND OF AROUND THE EDGES JUST TO GET IT TO THEIR DESIRED LENGTH.
AND BY DEFINITION, WHAT IS THE LONGTERM LEASE? IS THAT 15 YEARS? 10 YEARS.
FIVE, I THINK IS WHAT WE'RE STARTING AT.
AND THEN IS THERE SOME PROTECTION FOR YOU GUYS? IS THERE AN ALLY THAT IF THEY'RE UNRULY OR, I MEAN, IF THEY'RE SEPARATE YEAH.
EVERYTHING IN THE LEAST STATES? UM, I THINK WE, WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM 30 DAYS NOTICE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UH, I DON'T HAVE A COPY OF IT IN FRONT OF ME, BUT YEAH, IT'S, UH, IT SHOULD BE ON THE, UH, CITY.
THE COUNCIL WORKS THAT SHOULD PACK IT FROM THIS WEEK.
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT ON THERE.
AND MOST OF THE LANGUAGE FROM THAT I BELIEVE CAME FROM THE PARKS AND REC FACILITIES, PROCEDURE STUFF.
I'VE HEARD SOME OTHER COMMUNITIES NOT IN TO STATE.
WE JUST REMIND WORK ON, UH, WHEN WE WISHED WE WENT UP, YOU KNOW, NOT, NOT, NOT.
ARE THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR JOSH ON EITHER TWO OF THOSE SUBJECTS? UH, UM, BILL BAUER, BOWERS.
BOB, BOB, OR BILL, I DON'T KNOW.
I LEFT HIM A MESSAGE EARLIER CAUSE I I'VE SPOKEN WITH YEAH.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IF YOU JUST TELL THEM, HEY, GET AHOLD OF ME.
CAUSE I TALKED TO SOMEBODY IN THE OFFICE TWICE THIS WEEK AND THEY'RE THE ONES THAT LET ME KNOW THE GENTLEMAN THAT WE WERE WORKING WITH WAS GONE.
AND THEN HE CALLED ME TO SAY, HEY, YEAH, I'M NOT THERE ANYMORE AFTER, YOU KNOW, UMPTEEN VOICEMAILS AND EMAILS.
UH, IN, UH, ME UPDATES ON THE ECHO BURGER AND THE MUSIC, MOVIES, MUSIC AND MOVIE SERIES WENT THIS YEAR.
UM, OUR LAST MOVIE OF THE SEASON AFTER A LITTLE HICCUP, WE STARTED A LITTLE LATE, BUT UH, WE HAD A GOOD CROWD, UH, UNTIL WE STARTED LATE AND THEN WE HAD SOME PEOPLE LEAVE, BUT ULTIMATELY THE BITES IN THE HEIGHTS AND THE CREWS AND WAS A GOOD EVENT.
UM, I TALKED TO COLE, BALKER THE GUY DOING THE CRUISE IN ABOUT THREE O'CLOCK AND THEY QUIT COUNTING AT 500 CARS AND THAT WAS AN HOUR AFTER IT STARTED.
SO, UM, THEY, THAT THE CRUISE IN WAS A BLOWOUT.
ALL THE FOOD TRUCKS DID REALLY WELL.
UM, THERE WAS 10 FOOD TRUCKS THERE.
WE HAD THREE, NOT SHOW UP IN ONE, HAD TO BE TURNED AWAY DUE TO A NON, UH, REPARABLE GAS LEAK.
UM, BUT THE 10 THAT WERE THERE, MOST OF THEM WERE OUT OF FOOD AT THE END OF THE DAY.
UM, THE MOVIES FOR THE SUMMER ALL WENT WELL.
UM, JERRY AND I ARE GOING TO LOOK AT SOME THINGS FOR NEXT YEAR AND UH, YOU KNOW, SEE IF FIVE IS STILL A GOOD NUMBER OR, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S A LESSER OR GREATER NUMBER THAT SHOULD BE DONE THERE.
UM, NOTHING YET ON THAT I NEED TO
[00:10:01]
GET WITH SCOTT AND SEE, UH, BECAUSE OF COST AND EVERYTHING.WE NEEDED TO TAKE THAT TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL FOR THE PLAYGROUND MICHAEL BERGER.
WHICH ONE DID WE SELECT? UM, THAT WAS DOWN TO SEE WHAT THE LAST TWO OPTIONS WERE HERE.
THERE WERE TWO OF THEM THAT KIND OF CAME BACK AS, AS THE MAIN TWO.
AND THEN I SENT THOSE BOTH BACK TO THE DESIGNER TO SEE WHICH ONE WOULD FIT BEST IN THE SPACE.
AND I DON'T THINK I'VE GOT THAT BACK FROM HIM YET.
BUT, UM, IF I CAN FIND THE ORIGINAL EMAIL I'LL SHOW YOU I'LL TELL YOU WHICH TWO WERE THE, THE ORIGINAL ONE.
SO, UM, WHEN YOU GET THAT ON, CAN YOU SUBMIT OUT TO ME SO WE CAN SEND IT OUT TO THE BOARDS AND THEN GLENN, I'LL DROP THAT OFF.
I'LL SNEAK BY AND DROP THAT OFF AT OVER THERE.
SO ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOSH? OKAY.
UM, DOGGONE PARADE IS THE MESSAGE TONIGHT I'M HERE AND SYDNEY HAD A FAMILY EMERGENCY.
SO SHE DID SEND ME SOME NOTES.
I'M GOING TO READ THEM VERBATIM.
UH, THE, WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT CISCO WILL BE THERE AS A VENDOR.
UH, WE WERE ADVISED BY CITIZENS WHO HAVE, WHO PUT TOGETHER THEIR OWN PET DOG PARADE IN THE PAST.
THAT'S HAVING A FOOD TRUCK THERE FOR PEOPLE WILL BE A BAD IDEA DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF PEOPLE WERE TO BRING FOOD INSIDE THE FENCE, A DOG COULD EAT IT AND POTENTIALLY GET SICK.
I BELIEVE WE'RE LOOKING FOR DOG FOOD BASED FOOD, TRUCK OR VENDOR.
IT'S PROBABLY THE BEST THING TO SAY THERE.
UM, DECORATIONS ARE COVERED, UH, FOR PRIZES.
WE WERE PUTTING TOGETHER GIFT BASKETS, FILLED WITH DOG TOYS, ACCESSORIES, UM, ET CETERA, TENNIS BALL TROPHIES.
AND WE ALSO HAVE THE TENNIS BALLS.
THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT YOU HAD.
WE DO HAVE CITIZENS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN BEING INVOLVED WITH DECORATING, WITH DECORATION MAKING, UM, THE NEW DATE AND TIME.
CAUSE THERE WAS A SHIFT, UH, WE WANT, WE'RE TRYING TO GET MORE PEOPLE.
THERE IS OCTOBER 30TH FROM THREE 30 TO 5:00 PM.
UH, WE WERE INTERESTED IN ADDING A DONATION BOX FOR EITHER DOG PRODUCTS OR NON-PERISHABLES AND WE ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE PICTURES IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE THAT COULD PLEASE, THAT COULD DO THAT.
SO I DO KNOW ONE PERSON THAT CAN TAKE PHOTOS OR REACH OUT TO JAY.
WELL, EITHER JAY OR THERE'S ANOTHER GENTLEMAN.
I CAN'T REMEMBER HIS NAME OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT THEY LIVE IN, THEY LIVE UP THERE.
THEY ACTUALLY LIVE AROUND THE CORNER FROM HERE, SO I WILL REACH OUT TO, TO THE, TO HER DOWN.
SO, UM, SO AGAIN, OCTOBER 30TH, FROM THREE 30 TO 5:00 PM, YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I THINK I MISSED THIS REGISTRATION LICKING REGISTER EITHER IN PERSON, THE DAY OF ONLINE, VIA THE PARKS AND RECREATION PAGE.
UM, THERE IS A LINK AT THE TOP FOR IT, OR YOU CAN FIND THE CALENDAR ITEM ON FACEBOOK AS WELL.
AND THEN I'M GOING TO HEAD DOWN TOMORROW AND POST A QR CODE DOWN, DOWN ON THE FENCE.
I'M GOING TO GET ELIMINATED AND THEN WE'LL PUT IT DOWN THERE SO THAT THOSE CAN SIGN UP, JUST SCAN IT AND SIGN UP, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO JUST PUT DOWN EVERY DAY.
ANY QUESTIONS? AND THEN I THINK WE HAVE CHRIS AND GLENN WHO HAVE COMMITTED TO HELPING TO JUDGE AND I'LL BE A JUDGE AS WELL.
UM, AND THEN I'LL BE DONE EARLY TO HELP DECORATE AS WELL.
SO, UH, IT STARTS AT THREE 30.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR SYDNEY, BUT MRS. OTTO IS HERE AS WELL.
SO SHE COULD PROBABLY ANSWER THOSE TOO, SO, NOPE.
HEADING BACK OVER TO CHRIS, DO YOU HAVE ANY UPDATES FOR THE Y YOU KNOW, I GOT A PRETTY MUCH A FINAL SHELTER COUNT FOR THE YEAR.
WE DID 568 SHELTER RENTALS THIS YEAR.
UM, BIGGEST MONTH, UH, WHICH JUNE WITH 109 RENTALS, UH, JULY WAS A CLOSE SECOND WITH 106.
SO 5 68 WAS THE TOTAL RENTALS, WHICH I THINK IS EVEN BETTER THAN WHAT WE DID IN 2019.
UM, SO THAT, THAT WENT OVER REALLY WELL.
UM, A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS, UM, THE Y WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE A 5K RUN ON OCTOBER 30TH.
UM, WE MADE THE DECISION THIS WEEK TO CANCEL THAT BECAUSE OF A LACK OF REGISTRATIONS.
UM, WHEN WE HAD ABOUT 15 PEOPLE, UM, WE STILL ARE ON THE SCHEDULE TO HAVE ANOTHER
[00:15:01]
5K RUN ON NOVEMBER 13, WHICH IS, UH, BASICALLY THREE WEEKS FROM THIS SATURDAY.UM, IT'LL START UP AT THE AMPHITHEATER.
I DON'T THINK WILL INTERFERE WITH, UH, THE FARMER'S MARKET'S OVER AND EVERYTHING.
THE OTHER THING, UM, THIS MONDAY THERE'LL BE THE FIRST READING OR, UM, UH, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AT THE AQUATIC CENTER.
UM, ONE OF WHICH IS THE PAINTING OF THE TWO BIG WATER SLIDES AND THE SLIDE TOWER, UM, THE, UH, SCARLET, UM, GO KELSEY AND I SPOKE EARLIER THIS WEEK ABOUT IT.
UM, AND WE'VE GOT A PRETTY GOOD BIT THAT WE'LL GET BOTH OF THOSE PROJECTS DONE IN THE SPRING TIME, HOPEFULLY IN THE SPRING TIME, BEFORE WE OPEN, UM, FOR THE 20, 22 SEASONS.
SO, UM, JOSH CAME UP, UH, IN SEPTEMBER, WE WALKED THROUGH THE WATER PARK.
THERE'S A COUPLE OTHER AREAS THAT AREN'T AS BIG, BUT THE BIG ONE WAS GETTING THOSE SLIDES PAINTED AS WE HEAD INTO THE 10TH SEASON, UM, NEXT MEMORIAL DAY.
SO THAT FIRST READING, I BELIEVE, ACCORDING TO THE AGENDA I SAW THE DAY WE'LL BE ON THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING NEXT WEEK.
ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE.
UM, SO, UM, I WANTED TO ADD THIS ONE BACK ON BECAUSE BACK IN APRIL, UH, MR. SHAW DID, UH, BRING, UH, REMAINING BOLTS BIG PART TWO, UM, RENAMING IT IN ON OUR, UH, DENNIS DENNY, EDWARD EDWARD PHILLIPS, JR.
SO, UM, WANTED TO BRING THAT BACK TO THE TABLE.
I KNOW THAT WE, UH, WE DISCUSSED IT AND WE ALL AGREED THAT THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA THERE.
UM, SO I DID TALK TO BRIAN, SO THERE ARE NO MORE ADDITIONS TO THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED.
SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND READ THAT AGAIN TO YOU.
AND THEN, UM, IF YOU ALL ARE ALL AGREEABLE, UM, WE CAN DISCUSS, AND THEN WE CAN ALSO BRING THAT UP TO CITY COUNCIL AS WELL.
SO, UM, CURRENT VERBIAGE RIGHT NOW READS DENNIS DENNY, EDWARD PHILLIPS JR.
AGE 39 OF HUBER HEIGHTS, OHIO PASSED AWAY UNEXPECTEDLY ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST, 2020.
HE WAS BORN JUNE 1ST, 1981 IN DAYTON, OHIO, DENNY WAS EIGHT, 2000 GRADUATED AT WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL IN EARLY 2015.
DANNY STARTED MINI COMMUNITY PARK CLEANUPS AT BOLTS CREEK PARK, ALONG WITH THE PARK PROPERTY AT DIAL IN LONGFORD.
HE WAS CURRENTLY AS A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER IN THE HUBER HEIGHTS SCHOOL DISTRICT, A YOUTH BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL COACH AND A DEVOTED MEMBER OF THE FAITH OF THE COMMUNITY.
SO, UM, THIS IS OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.
UM, SO I WANT TO BASICALLY, I WANT TO SEE WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE BEFORE WE VOTE ON WHETHER OR NOT, UM, WE WANT TO PROCEED WITH THE PROCESS TO REMAIN OR, UM, BELLS CREEK PARK TO SOMETHING ELSE TO, TO IN HONOR, UH, MR. PHILLIPS THERE.
SO I'LL START WITH GLENN MATTHEW LIKE ADDING TO GOOD IDEA.
AND I LIKE THE VERBIAGE OF THE READING AND WRITING SO, UM, IS THERE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO, UH, MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROCESS OF RENAMING FALSE BIG PARK? OKAY.
HAVE ONE, IS THERE A SECOND TO, SORRY? CAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE HIM.
NOW, CAN I GET ROLL CALL YOU'RE MUTED.
UM, ALEX BLACK, CHRISTOPHER HALL, GLENN POTTY, HER SIDNEY SMITH AND A SNYDER MATT.
[00:20:02]
OKAY.SO FOR TODAY LET'S SAY WE'RE THREE WE'RE BACK.
I JUST WANT TO DO A SHOW, MY APPRECIATION TO THE BOARD, UH, FOR MOVING THIS FORWARD TO COUNCIL.
UM, I KNOW PREVIOUSLY IT WAS DISCUSSED THAT I BELIEVE, UM, A, UH, KIND OF A, A BRONZE OR SOME SORT OF, UM, UH, THAT THAT WORDING WOULD BE PLACED AT THE PARK.
UM, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS STILL THE BOARD'S INTENTION ON SUBMITTING THAT TO COUNCIL AS WELL, UH, WITH THE RENAMING.
DO WE WANT THAT TO BE ON THE TOP SIDE, ON THAT BIG ROCK OR DO WE WANT IT TO BE ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OR DO WE WANT IT ON BOTH? UH, IF I HAD A PERSONAL PREFERENCE, I WOULD SAY BOTH.
UM, LET'S SEE WHAT COST IS TWO, I GUESS THAT WOULD BE THE OTHER THING.
UM, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, IF, IF COST WAS, YOU KNOW, AN ISSUE, THEN I, I WOULD DEFINITELY AGREE, YOU KNOW, ON THAT, UH, ON THAT ROCKWOOD WOULD BE APPROPRIATE BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THAT ROCK ON ANYWHERE.
IT'S AND THEN TO THAT PARAGRAPH HAS HIS WIFE OR FAMILY LIKE SEEING THAT AND THEY'RE OKAY WITH ALL THAT.
UM, UH, BRIAN DADDY TOOK CARE OF, UH, REACHING OUT TO THE FAMILY TO, TO GET A LOT OF THAT INFORMATION AND, UH, THEY ACTUALLY SUPPLIED THAT INFORMATION.
UM, AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION WAS, ARE WE GOING TO CHANGE IT TO, YOU KNOW, DENNY? IS IT FIPS OR PHILLIPS DENNY PHILLIPS PARK OR IS IT GOING TO BE DENNY PHILLIPS MEMORIAL AT FALLS CREEK? OR HOW DO YOU KNOW, I GUESS THAT'S MORE OF A COUNCIL DISCUSSION OR DO WE NEED TO DISCUSS THAT HERE AND THEN, OKAY.
NO, I HAD LEFT THAT UP TO, UH, UH, TO THE VICE CHAIR AND THE CHAIR OF THIS COMMITTEE.
UM, UH, I KNOW IT WAS DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY ON, YOU KNOW, WHICH WAY YOU FOLKS WANTED TO GO.
UM, I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE THAT DECISION, YOU KNOW, FROM THE SPORT, I GUESS THAT'S THE SECOND DISCUSSION WHEN YOU'D HAVE, CAUSE IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT LIKE MONITA OR OTHER ONES WHERE THE NAME THAT IS THERE, IS IT IN MEMORIAL SOMEBODY ALREADY? SURE.
AND HOW MANY PEOPLE, I MEAN THERE'S NO OFFICIAL FALLS CREEK.
I DON'T THINK IT REALLY MATTERS.
IT JUST DEPENDS WHAT DOCUMENTS YOU LOOK AT, LIKE CORRECT.
AND DO PEOPLE NOTICE FALLS CREEK THE GORGE DIAL PARK? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YEAH.
THERE'S ABOUT 1300 NAMES TO IT.
SO, NO, I, I, I KNOW, UM, I KNOW THE CHAIR HAD MENTIONED THAT, UH, PREVIOUS MEETINGS AGO AND I WAS GOING TO LET THAT WEIGH ON THIS, THIS BOARD.
BECAUSE THAT'S ALSO ALLOWED TO VIEW GREAT.
THERE'S ALSO ONE THE MINI PARK WHILE DEALERS COULDN'T FIND IT IT'S THERE IS THAT THE PARKING LOT FOR THE PUMP STATION.
REALLY ARRESTING, I COULDN'T FIND IT.
I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS A PRIVACY FENCE STORAGE FACILITY.
SO IF YOU LOOK IN, IF YOU LOOK IN THE CITY, UM, THE CITY STUFF IT'S LISTED THERE AND THE TWO PARKS FALLS CREEK AND VIEW, I'M LIKE, OKAY, IF I'M A WILD WHEEL, WILD CAT EVERYWHERE.
IT'S THAT SPACE BETWEEN THE HOUSES THAT THE COUNTY USED TO OWN, YOU KNOW, WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? WELL, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT WAS THAT AND IN AN ALL IN CORPORATE SCENE OF THAT.
UM, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN I, MANY YEARS AGO, I THINK BACK IN 20 16, 20 17, WHEN I STARTED GOING THROUGH SOME DOCUMENTS BEFORE THEY PUT UP A DOOR, UM, WE, UM, WE COULDN'T REALLY FIND ANY PARCEL LOCATION IDENTIFYING THAT.
SO, YOU KNOW, AS THE CHAIR HAD MENTIONED, IT WAS KIND OF IT'S THERE SOMEWHERE.
WELL, MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT THEM AND FIGURE OUT.
BUT AGAIN, I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE TO EVERY ONE OF YOU GUYS, UH, AND LADIES, UM, ON THIS COMMITTEE THAT, UH, THAT HAS LOOKED IN THAT I KNOW THE FAMILY APPRECIATES IT.
UH, HOPEFULLY, UH, ONCE THIS GETS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL AND HOPEFULLY APPROVED BY COUNCIL, I WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE THE FAMILY COME OUT AND DO AN OFFICIAL DEDICATION WITH THIS BOARD AND COUNCIL TOGETHER.
SO THE NEXT PART OF THAT CONVERSATION IS WHAT DO WE REMAIN APART? ANY SUGGESTIONS OR IDEAS I WANT TO START ON THIS END WITH WRONG.
WELL, THERE'S A WATERFALL WHEN WE GET A HEAVY RAIN, BUT IT'S THE GORGE AND IT'S THAT AREA IS THE GORGE.
SO IT'S LIKE IF YOU'RE ON DIAL BETWEEN LONGFORD 2 0 2, THERE'S AN ENTRANCE THERE.
AND THEN BACK ON ARROW VIEW, THERE'S ANOTHER ENTRANCE.
SO THERE'S AN UPPER AND LOWER, AND YOU CAN WALK BETWEEN THE TWO, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ALWAYS ADVISED.
I LIKED THE IDEA OF HAVING YOU TELL HIM HIS NAME AT PARK AT FALLS CREEK.
[00:25:01]
I MEAN, IF THERE'S, NO, IT'S NOT REALLY THERE.IT'S NOT LIKE, YOU KNOW, AFTER A GOOD RAIN, IT'S NOT TELLING ITS NAME AT FALLS CREEK AFTER A GOOD GRIM, I GUESS IF YOU LOSE THAT PART OF IT, THEN I GUESS I'M A LITTLE TORN ON THAT.
YOU DON'T, YOU LOSE THE LEGACY OF WHAT IT USED TO BE, BUT YOU STARTED FRESH AND JUST GO FROM GROUND ZERO WITH THE NEW NAME.
SO I WOULD SAY MOOSE, THE FALSE CREEK.
I THINK I ANSWERED THE QUESTION, BUT DANNY AND OR DENNIS, DO WE WANT TO GO DENNY? LIKE IN QUOTATIONS, THE DENNY PHILLIPS JR.
MEMORIAL PARK OR MEMORIAL TRICKLE, UH, ANOTHER OPTIONS LIKE COMBINE THE NAMES.
SO YOU COULD DO LIKE PHILLIPS CREEK PARK ONLINE CAN COME TO MIND.
UM, BUT YEAH, I, I'VE NOT BEEN THERE BEFORE, SO I DON'T REALLY KNOW THE, THE FEATURES.
UM, I WOULD SUGGEST JUST, I WILL, I'LL BE HONEST.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER HEARD OF IT.
MOST PEOPLE REFERRED TO AS THE GORGE, MOST OF THE TIME.
SO WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS THE RENAMING WOULD BE, THEY NEED PHILLIPS MEMORIAL PARK.
AND WE NEED THE JUNIOR, SINCE HE WAS A JUNIOR, DO WE? YES, WE DO.
BECAUSE THAT DISTINGUISHES AND THEN DENNY AND QUOTATIONS, THAT WAS HIS NICKNAME.
SO WE HAD, I'M NOT GOING TO DO THE QUOTES DENNY PHILLIPS JR.
YOU WANT TO KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL YOU WANT TO GET? YES, I'M A JUNIOR, SO I DON'T WANT IT TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN ME AND MY DAD.
I USE IT AND DON'T GET NO MATTER WHAT.
SO JUNIORS, WE LIKED IT TO KEEP OUR ASSESSMENTS.
SO, SO WE HAVE DENNY PHILLIPS JR.
IS THERE A MOTION TO RENAME THE PARK TO DENNY PHILLIPS JR.
SO THE NEXT STEP WILL BE, UM, FOR ME TO SEND A NOTE OVER TO, UM, TONY TO DO A QUICK BACKGROUND CHECK.
I THINK THAT'S GOTTA BE DONE AS WELL BEFORE I PRESENT IT.
AND THEN WE'LL PRESENT IT ONCE WE GET THAT INFORMATION BACK, SO, OKAY.
MA'AM UM, FAMILY KNOW ABOUT THE JUNIOR GOING TO BE ON THERE.
IT'S WRITTEN ON THE LANGUAGE ON HERE AND WE CAN VERIFY WITH THEM TOO, BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING.
ALL OF THIS WILL BE RUN BY THEM BECAUSE THAT'S THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO IS PUSH, SET IT IN BRONZE ON THE STONE AND THEN HAVE THEM BE MAD ABOUT IT.
WE'LL DEFINITELY CHECK WITH THEM.
SO IF YOU HEAD TOWARDS 2 0 2, THERE IS, UM, A SIGN THAT SAYS, UH, NO DUMPING HALFWAY DOWN TOWARDS, OR SORRY IF YOU'RE HEADING TOWARDS THE TAYLORSVILLE, SORRY.
UM, BETWEEN LONGFORD KIND OF ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN, THERE'S A SIGN THAT SAYS NO DUMPING.
THERE'S TREES GROWN UP AND THEN THERE'S A BIG ROCK.
BUT ONE SIDE YOU CAN SEE, GETS MOWED ALONG THE HOUSE.
AND THEN THERE'S WHAT KIND OF A WALK THROUGH THE MIDDLE.
AND THEN THE OTHER SIDE ON ARROW VIEW, UH, WHICH IS ALL A LARGE VIEW AND THEN GOES UP THE HILL.
THERE'S A CUL-DE-SAC THERE AND THERE KIND OF A BIG PIE WEDGE.
THAT'S THE LOWER SECTION OF IT.
WELL, EVERYBODY IN THAT AREA KNOWS THAT AS THE GORGE, BECAUSE MY WIFE USED TO HANG OUT OVER THERE GROWING UP.
I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL
[00:30:01]
I STARTED HERE.UM, SO I KNOW, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO INCORPORATE SOMETHING INTO THE PARAGRAPH, BUT I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW, AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW.
NOBODY TOLD PEOPLE, THEY CALL IT FALLS CREEK, SAY YOU PUT OUT A PRESS RELEASE AND WE PUT IT OUT ON ALL CREEDS.
WELL, USUALLY WHEN THEY DON'T KNOW FALLS CREEK BECAUSE OF THAT ALL.
SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE, PROGRAMMING AND EVENTS.
SO, UM, WHAT I'M WANTING YOU ALL TO DO, UM, IS TO START THINKING ABOUT THE SPRING AND THE SPRING AND SUMMER, JULY IS PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH.
SO HOPEFULLY WE'RE ABLE TO DO THINGS FOR THAT.
UM, BUT I WOULD ALSO LIKE YOU ALL TO START THINKING ABOUT, ESPECIALLY FOR NEXT MONTH'S DISCUSSION, I WOULD LIKE TO START THROWING OUT AN IDEA, UM, SORRY, NOT THROWING OUT, BUT I WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO START THINKING ABOUT DATES FOR SPECIFIC EVENTS, SPECIFICALLY THE GP, UM, I'M GOING TO CALL IT THE GPS.
I KNOW IT'S NOT THE GEOCACHES.
SO I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
UM, AND THEN SOME OTHER EVENTS AS WELL.
SO THAT WAY WE CAN, WE CAN BE, UM, WE CAN HAVE A MORE ACTIVE YEAR NEXT YEAR.
I KNOW THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO DO, SORRY, I KEEP LOOKING THIS WAY.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO DO SPECIFICALLY IS TO WORK WITH SOME OF THE BUSINESSES IN THE AREA, UM, FOR FITNESS, YOU KNOW, FITNESS RELATED THINGS HAVE LIKE A FITNESS EXPO.
AND I THINK THERE'S SOME FITNESS ACTIVITIES DOWN AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND SOME OF THE OTHER PARTS AS WELL.
SO I'M GOING TO LOOK INTO THAT.
UM, IT, MIGHT'VE BEEN TALKING TO A COUPLE OF FOLKS ABOUT DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, SO I WANTED TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP, UM, INCREASE SOME OF THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE PARKS THAT WE OFFER.
UM, JOSH, AND, UM, ALONG WITH JOSH AND JERRY, OUR TWO BEAUTIFICATION WARRANTS, ALSO ME LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, SOME ACTIVITIES AS WELL, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE MOVIE AND SINCE SOME MUSIC, MUSIC EVENTS TOO.
SO I WANT TO SEE WHAT WE AS A PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD CAN DO AS WELL.
I KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE SKATE PARK, THERE'LL BE OPENING, UM, NEXT YEAR.
UM, SO THAT'LL BE A BIG ITEM FOR US TO LOOK INTO, UM, WHAT ACTIVITY WE CAN HAVE THERE FOR THE GRAND OPENING AND, UM, AND SOME OTHER STUFF.
SO, UM, NEXT MONTH, IF ARE, I WILL LOVE YOU ALL TO TIME YOU COME INTO THE MEETING WITH SOME IDEAS, SO WE CAN START CLOTTING IT OUT ON A, ON A, ON A TIMELINE AND SAY, WHAT EXACTLY WE CAN DO IS HOW TO HELP JOSH WITH SOME PLANNING AND SOME OTHER ACTIVITIES TOO.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT, MATT? CAN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR GEOCACHE? YEAH.
UH, BASICALLY WHAT I HAVE IN MIND IS SETTING UP, UM, GEO CACHING IS BASICALLY A TREASURE HUNT.
THERE'S ACTUALLY A GEOCACHE SITE.
I WAS LOOKING ON GEOCACHE.COM.
THERE IS A SITE HERE IN THIS PARK BEHIND US.
THERE ARE FIVE AT CLOUD PARK, UM, THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF DEARBORN HEIGHTS, THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 35 SITES.
UM, BUT ONE OF THE MORE INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS THAT'S HAPPENED RECENTLY WHERE THEY'RE CALLING GEO TOURS AND CITIES ARE SETTING UP TOURS WITHIN THE CITY, IS TAKING THEM TO DIFFERENT RESIDENTS TO DIFFERENT, UM, BUSINESSES TO HISTORICAL AREAS.
AND YOU CAN SET THEM UP AS A TREASURE HUNT.
YOU CAN SET IT AS A, UM, SCAVENGER HUNT.
AND SO WE, WE COULD DO LIKE A PASSPORT AND PEOPLE COULD KNOW WHEN THEY FIND A PARTICULAR SPOT, THEY GET THE INFORMATION THERE AND THEY CAN FILL IN THE PASSPORT.
AND THERE, WE CAN HAVE PRIZES FOR PEOPLE LIKE RURAL KING OR, UM, UM, CAMPING WORLD.
AND IF YOU WILL, OTHERS TO GET INVOLVED IN, WE CAN INCLUDE THEM AS SITES IN THE, UM, PASSPORT.
AND THE GREAT THING ABOUT THAT IS WE'RE ALL, IT'S NOT JUST GOING TO BE HUBER RESIDENCES THAT ARE GOOD.
THE GEOCASHING IS APPROXIMATELY SIX AND A HALF MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE.
SO THIS IS NOT JUST AN, IT'S NOT A NEW THING.
SO WE CAN BRING IN PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE OF THE HUBER HEIGHTS AREA ALSO,
[00:35:01]
AND EXPOSE THEM TO PLACES THAT THEY HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN.SO, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE, UM, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE INVOLVED SO WE CAN KIND OF GET BUSINESSES INVOLVED TO GET EXPOSURE AS WELL, BUT WE CAN SET UP DIFFERENT SITES IN, IN THE PARKS.
AND THE GREAT PART ABOUT THIS IS IT'S NOT A ONE-TIME EVENT BECAUSE ONCE IT'S LOGGED INTO THE, INTO THE, UH, GEOCASHING.COM WEBSITE, IT'S THERE FOREVER.
SO THESE, THE SITES WILL REMAIN THERE AND PEOPLE CAN DO THESE TOURS ON THEIR OWN.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT TRAVEL AROUND THOROUGH AND SORRY THAT TRAVEL AROUND AND DO THESE GEOCASHING.
CAUSE I KNOW, UH, OVER AT THE CITY LIM SITE, THERE USED TO BE A POINT RIGHT THERE AND THERE WERE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME THAT WOULD SHOW UP THERE.
UM, I JUST REMEMBER HIM ALWAYS SAYING, THE NEXT CLUE SAYS, TAKE A GANDER AT THIS OR SOMETHING.
AND THEY WERE TRYING TO CUT THROUGH THE LIMB SITE TO GET TO GAIN OR MOUNTAIN NOT REALIZING THEY HAD TO GO AROUND.
WE HAD A LADY FROM KENTUCKY, ONE TIME SAID SHE WAS FOLLOWING ONE ALL THE WAY UP THE EAST COAST.
IF YOU LOOK IN THE BACK OF THE PACK, THIRD IS A MAP OF THE GREATER DAYTON AREA AND IT WILL SHOW YOU THAT, UM, ITCH THERE'S HUNDREDS IN THE GREATER DAYTON AREA.
SO I THINK THIS ONE IS, IT'S A VERY LOW MAINTENANCE ITEM, SO IT'S NOT AN ONGOING COST OF THEM, JUST OCCASIONALLY MAKING SURE THAT THE CACHES ARE STILL UPDATED.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S NOT AN ONGOING COST FOR THE CITY.
SO, SO CAME YOU CAUSE I'M ALL FOR IT.
CAN YOU WORK WITH JOSH CHORUS AND THEN COME UP WITH SOME PRICING? ABSOLUTELY.
AT LEAST FOR THE INITIAL INITIAL SETUP AND ALL THAT.
AND THEN WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN WORK TO GET SOME FUNDING FOR IT.
I CAN DO THAT IN ANY SUPPLIES THAT THEY NEED.
ANY QUESTIONS DOWN HERE IN MY LEFT.
MY ONLY QUESTION IMMEDIATELY WHEN WE, BRITTANY SET THIS UP, IS THERE A WAY THAT THERE'S SOME TYPE OF I'M NEW TO THIS? I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.
IS THERE SOME WAY TO DO LIKE A MONTH LONG THING WHERE THERE'S, WHOEVER GETS THE MOST OR RECORDERS THE MOST OR WHATEVER WE CAN DO GIFT CARDS FOR THEM REALLY HAMMERED OUT WITH A BANG TO GET PEOPLE STARTED TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT'S IN THE AREA.
AND ABSOLUTELY THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I WANT TO GET THE BUSINESS INVOLVED.
WE CAN GET EVEN BUSINESSES BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO DRAW FOOT TRAFFIC INTO THE BUSINESS.
WE CAN ENCOURAGE THEM TO DONATE PRIZES FOR THE PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATE.
SO AGAIN, IT'S NOT A COST FOR THE CITY, BUT IT, IT IS BRINGING A BUSINESS.
YOU COULD MAKE LIKE A LITTLE MINI COMPETITION.
AND THAT CAN BE AN ONGOING THING AS WELL.
SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ONE TEAM ACTIVITIES INVOLVED WITH THE TUTORING.
WE THOUGHT ABOUT SOMETHING SIMILAR LAST YEAR, WE TRIED TO PUT TOGETHER A SCAVENGER HUNT THROUGH A APP CALLED GOOSE CHASE.
AND, UH, WE JUST WERE NEVER ABLE TO GET IT TO TAKE OFF AND WORK THE WAY WE WANTED IT TO.
BUT YEAH, I MEAN THERE'S WAYS WHERE YOU CAN PUT IT OUT THERE.
SO, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IT'S FINDING THE THING AND THEN YOU CAN EVEN TIE IT INTO SOCIAL MEDIA, FIND THE CASH AND THEN TAKE A PICTURE WITH IT AND POST IT HERE, POSTED THERE.
SO YOU DID SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHERE IN ORDER TO WIN, WHATEVER THE PRIZES ARE, FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, YOU HAD TO BE ACTIVE ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND TECH CITY WHEN THAT GETS IT OUT THERE AND LETS RESIDENTS KNOW THAT IT'S THERE.
AND THE OTHER THING TOO IS WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET OTHERS WHO AREN'T BORING, FACEBOOK ACTIVE AND ENGAGED AS WELL.
SO WHETHER WE USE THE NEWSLETTER, UM, HERE DICKEYA, IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING ELSE WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT.
I WOULD LOVE TO USE QR CODES ABOUT ACTIVITIES IN THE A-FRAME WAS POSTED THROUGHOUT THE PARTS AS WELL.
BUT, UH, BUT YEAH, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA.
AND I'M ALLOWED TO SEE THIS ONE GET STARTED.
THAT'S ANOTHER FOLLOWUP QUESTION.
SO IF THERE'S 35 OF THESE CACHES AND I'M FROM HUBERT, ONCE I FIND THEM THERE, THEY DON'T CHANGE IT.
WAS THERE ANY, THERE'S NO USE FOR ME TO GO OUT AND DO IT AGAIN? CAUSE I ALREADY KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT TYPE OF THING.
IS THAT WHAT IT SPINS ESSENTIALLY? YES.
UM, WE, WE CAN DO AN UPDATING, UH, PERIODICALLY OR ADD NEW ONES, TRY AND HOLD.
UM, KIND OF THINK OF IT AS LIKE A GOLF COURSE, PUTTING AWAY, YOU KNOW, OCCASIONALLY THEY MOVE THE WHOLE, BUT WE CAN DO THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT THAT INVOLVES ACTUALLY GOING IN CHANGING THE LOCATION.
CAUSE IT'S, IT IS GPS LOCKED IN THE WEBSITE.
SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO UPDATE IT ON THE WEBSITE SO THAT IT SHOWS THE TRUE LOCATION.
[00:40:01]
TO ENHANCE THAT ARE INVOLVED TO FINDING IT BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT STANDOUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU SITES.I MEAN, THEY'RE SOMETIMES THEY'RE HIDDEN IN THERE'S ONE IN CLOUD PARK.
SO, UM, WARNER IN CHAMBERSBURG AND BELL FOUNTAIN THERE USED TO BE A GUARD RAIL.
AND WHEN WE RIP THE GUARD RAIL OUT, THERE WAS A MAGNETIC HIGH KEY ON THE BACK OF IT.
AND WHEN YOU OPENED IT UP, IT WAS A CASH.
SO WE'RE LIKE, OH, WELL THE GUARD RAIL IS NOT GOING TO BE HERE ANYMORE.
SO WE ENDED UP STICKING IT ON THE BACK OF THE STOP SIGN POST.
THAT WAS THE ONLY OTHER PLACE WE COULD PUT IT ON THAT INTERSECTION AND THAT CORNER.
SO YEAH, SOMETIMES THEY'RE LIKE THAT WHERE THEY ARE JUST SOMETHING, I THINK WE'VE BEEN CLEANING OUT FLOWER BEDS BEFORE AND FOUND A PILL BOTTLE WITH PAPER ROLLED UP IN IT.
AND THAT WAS THE CASH, WHICH IS ALWAYS KIND OF MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT'S YOUR FALLING IN, BUT IT'S BASICALLY JUST HAS TO BE A WEATHER, TIGHT CONTAINER.
UM, A LOT OF TIMES, UM, CASHERS WILL CARE ON LOG BOOKS OR THERE ARE SOMETIMES EVEN LOG BOOKS IN THE CONTAINERS.
SO YOU CAN SIGN WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE, WHEN YOU CAME.
AND SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE IF YOU STAY AT AN AIRBNB OR SOMETHING IN THE LITTLE REGISTER, SO IT, IT'S KIND OF THE THRILL OF THE CHASE A LITTLE BIT AND SEEING WHO ELSE HAS BEEN THERE.
DEFINITELY YOU HIT BUSINESSES SINCE THIS IS ONCE YOU WERE RESIDENTS GO THROUGH THE FIRST TIME YOU'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING OUTSIDE PEOPLE INTO THE LOCAL ECONOMY BUSINESS.
WE HAD METRO PARKS AND YOU FIND, YOU FIND THERE, THIS IS A NUCLEUS OF PEOPLE.
WELL, LET'S GO TO YOU, MARIAH.
LET'S GO TO RIVERSIDE IN FRONT OF THE HIM.
AND THEN THEY BUILD ON THEIR OWN MOMENTUM.
SO IF WE START THAT WE'RE AUTOMATICALLY TEAMING UP WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
AND MATT, I USED TO DO THIS A LOT WITH MY AUNT GROWING UP.
WE USED TO DO IT LIKE A TON AND I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HELPING YOU IF YOU WANTED TO HELP US LIKE GO WHATEVER.
SO ABSOLUTELY SUPER GREAT IDEA.
AND IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT, UM, ONCE YOU GET LIKE A CORE OF CACHES, LIKE EACH YEAR YOU CAN ADD A COUPLE TO ABSOLUTELY.
THEN CAN WE PUT ONE IN YOUR YARD, THE THRILL OF THE CHASE GLENN, THE
MOTION SENSOR LIGHTS ARE JUST GOING TO, I FEEL THE PAIN I'M, I'M ON THE HEBREW HAUNTS LIST RIGHT NOW.
AND I'VE GOT PEOPLE COMING UP IN MY YARD AND TAKING PICTURES EVERY DAY.
SO, UM, SO I'D SAY, YOU KNOW, LET'S GO AHEAD AND WORK WITH JOSH TO GET SOME NUMBERS.
UM, SO QUOTES, UM, AND THEN ALSO, UM, TALK TO THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
THEY MAY HAVE SOME
SHE COULD GIVE ME A SPOTS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
SO ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS FOR THIS SECTION HERE? SO AGAIN, ONCE WE GET IT GOING, AS IF THEY'RE IN THE PARKS, JUST LET ME KNOW.
SO I CAN LET THE PUBLIC WORKS GUYS KNOW WHEN THEY FIND LOTS OF, WE'VE GOT A LIST OF ALL AND JUST IN THE INTEREST OF FULL DISCLOSURE, I STOLE THE INFORMATION FOR NGO CACHING COMPLETELY FROM THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC WEBSITE.
SO, AND IT'S NOT STEALING, IT'S NOT
SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.
SO PART CLEANUPS, I ADDED THIS ON IT BECAUSE I WANTED YOU TO TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN.
SO, UH, WE HAD OUR THIRD PARK CLEANUP, UH, ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO.
AFTER THE LAST MEETING AT THE HUBER HEIGHTS COMMUNITY CENTER ON PAL, AND WE HAD ALMOST A HUNDRED PERCENT INCREASE IN, UM, ATTENDANCE.
UM, AND SO WE CLEANED UP FOR ABOUT PROBABLY 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR AND WE GOT FOUR BIG BAGS OF TRASH CLEANED UP.
UM, SO I HAD REALLY GOOD SUCCESS AND, AND, UH, PROBABLY BE THE LAST ONE FOR THE YEAR, JUST WITH THE GETTING COLD AND LEAVES FALLING AND EVERYTHING.
BUT, UH, LOOK TO CONTINUE IT IN THE SPRING.
AND UNFORTUNATELY DRIVES ME TO GIVE ME A CHAIR.
I DECIDED TO GET RID OF IT THERE.
SO I GUESS WHEN NEXT YEAR, CAN WE FIGURE OUT HOW TO JUST GO AHEAD AND START PLANNING OUT THE DATES FOR THAT? IT'S GOING TO BE HARD WITH THE FIRST ONE, BUT THE OTHER ONES DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
WELL, I WOULD SAY FIRST ONE WITH THE EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY IS USUALLY AROUND CAUSE IT'S EARLY SPRING.
[00:45:02]
YEAH.SO I WOULD SAY MAYBE MAKE HER AT THE DAY, THE FIRST ONE BIRTHDAY WEEKEND, AT LEAST ONE WEEK, BUT THAT COULD BE OUR BIG KICKOFF ONE WHERE WE GET THE TRAILER AND WE NEED MORE PEOPLE
AND THEN I THINK THEY DID COMMUNITY PARK THAT WEEKEND.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY WERE GOING TO COME PICK SOME STUFF UP AND THEY NEVER CAME, SO MAYBE THEY DIDN'T NEED SO YEAH.
SO WE'LL DEFINITELY WORK TO GET THE TRAILER AGAIN.
WE JUST NEED TO KNOW SOMETIME IN ADVANCE TO GET THAT ONE.
UM, BUT THEN ALSO JOSH, IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET OUR MOM LIKE GRABBERS AND THEIR KIDS AND ALL THAT FOR ME WHEN WE HAVE THESE IT'S GOING TO HAVE MORE FREQUENTLY.
UM, YEAH, I MEAN, JUST GIVE ME A NUMBER AND WE CAN GET THEM.
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO STORE THEM THERE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER IN THE ONE OFFICE WILL GET US A LITTLE TOTE OR SOMETHING FOOTBALL.
CAUSE I'M GOING TO TURN THOSE TWO OFFICES FOR NOW AND THE STORAGE STORAGE FOR OUR VARIOUS ACTIVITIES.
WE DID THAT BACK IN 2013 OR 14.
I THINK WE STILL GOT THOSE T-SHIRTS SITTING IN THE BOTTOM OFFSITE STORAGE.
CAUSE YOU KNOW, THEY ALWAYS PRINT MORE THAN THEY NEED, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER WHY THEY SAID WE DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN AFTER THAT BECAUSE I THINK WE DID IT A COUPLE OF YEARS.
UM, BUT YEAH, I MEAN ON THAT TOMORROW, UH, PROBABLY THAT WAS LONG BEFORE ME AND WE KNOW WE HAD THOSE SHIRTS.
WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE T-SHIRTS THEY'RE ALL KIDS' SIZES.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM, NEW BUSINESS.
I DON'T HAVE ANY, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY NEW BUSINESS? YES, SIR.
SO, UM, WHILE WE'RE DISCUSSING PARK NAMING AND ALL THAT, UM, TOMMY ZULA WAS UP AT THE BIKE PARK TODAY, WORKING ON, UH, HELPING BUILD THE RAMPS AND STUFF.
UM, AND UH, HIM AND I HAD A CONVERSATION.
HE'S GOING TO TALK TO HIS SPONSORS ABOUT THROWING SOME MONEY AT US AND POSSIBLY GETTING HIS NAME ON SOMETHING UP THERE.
SO WHETHER IT BE TOMMY ZULA, BIKE SCAPE, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH AT MONITA OR SOMETHING.
UM, BUT UH, JUST KINDA SET IN IT.
SO, I MEAN, CAUSE HIS NOTORIETY, I GUESS YOU WANT TO CALL IT IS ALREADY GONNA DRAW SOME PEOPLE UP THERE.
BUT I THINK, UM, TALKING TO SOME FRIENDS FROM THAT WORK WITH METRO PARKS, SETTING IT UP ON A TERM, SO WE'LL NAME IT THIS FOR X YEARS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE THE DIFFERENT DRAGON STADIUM THEN AFTER A WHILE SOMEBODY ELSE IS GOING TO HAVE FOUR CUPS OF MONEY OR IF THEY WANT TO UP AGAIN, YOU KNOW, AND, AND GETTING SOMETHING LIKE THAT NOW OBVIOUSLY THE MONEY TO FEEL HAS TO STAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S NAMED AFTER OUR FIRST CITY MANAGER, CHARLES LYNITA.
SO WHATEVER IT IS, IT'LL BE AT MONITA FIELD.
UM, SO HE'S SUPPOSED TO GET WITH HIS PEOPLE AND THROW SOME IDEAS TO ME AND THEN, UH, I'LL BRING THOSE TO THE BOARD AND WE CAN KIND OF LOOK OVER THEM AND SEE, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE LIKE AND IF WE DON'T LIKE HIM, THEN YOU KNOW? YEAH.
I SAID, YOU KNOW, HE'S GOT SOME PRETTY BIG SPONSORS.
SO I MEAN THE COMPANY THAT'S BUILDING THE TRACK VELA SOLUTIONS IS ONE OF HIS SPONSORS.
SO THEY DEFINITELY WANT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN THEIR NAME WILL ALREADY BE ON IT, BUT ANYTHING THEY CAN DO TO TIE MORE OF THEMSELVES TO IT.
UM, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALL FOR IT.
SO, AND AIRBORNE CYCLES, THEY'RE AN OHIO COMPANY IS ANOTHER ONE OF HIS SPONSORS.
SO I MEAN THERE'S, THERE'S LOTS OF LOCAL TIES WITH HIM, SO, OH YEAH.
I WANT TO GET YOUR NAME ON IT.
I'LL NEVER, I'LL NEVER CALL IT DAY, DAY AIR OR WHATEVER IT IS.
CAN YOU, IF, SO YOU'RE THINKING IT'S GOING TO BE SIMILAR TO, I'M ASSUMING THE KROGER AQUATIC CENTER, LIKE KROGER AQUATIC CENTER AT THE HEIGHTS? NO, THE ACTUAL PRODUCT CENTER ITSELF, BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING THEY PAID FOR CHRIS.
DOES THAT, DOES THE KROGER AQUATIC CENTER? DOES THAT ON A TERM? YEAH, IT'S A TERM.
UM, IT'S NEGOTIATED BY JUDY WHEELER'S GROUP.
[00:50:01]
THEY JUST, UM, NOT THIS PAST SEASON, BUT IN 2020 THEY REDID THE NAMING OF IT, UH, YOU KNOW, REDO THE CONTRACT.SO, BUT THAT IS A TERM, UM, UH, SPONSORSHIP FROM KROGER.
SO I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW LONG IT IS.
UM, I WOULD SAY, LET'S SEE, THAT WAS THE EIGHTH SEASON.
SO I WOULD SAY WAS A SEVEN, SEVEN YEAR AGREEMENT, THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT IF I HAD TO GUESS SO, BUT IT WAS JUST RENEWED LAST.
UM, LIKE I SAID, LAST SPRING, CAUSE WE HAD CHANGED ALL THE LOGOS TO THE NEW GROVER LOGO.
UM, SO IT WAS EITHER THE FALL BEFORE OR THE SPRING BEFORE AND 2020.
SO IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET IT FOR US TO GET A COPY OF THAT, CHRIS? UM, DO WE HAVE A COPY OF THAT AGREEMENT? IF NOT, I CAN REACH OUT TO JUDY, JUST SO WE MAYBE HAVE A TEMPLATE TO BASE IT OFF OF.
YEAH, THAT'S ALL DONE THROUGH JUDY AND HER GROUP.
UM, SCOTT SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF IT.
WE HAVE THE WHITES, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SINCE IT'S NOT OUR PROPERTY.
THERE'S NOT, I CAN REACH OUT TO GED AS WELL.
AND THAT'S AGAIN, THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WE CAN, UH, YOU KNOW, LOOK ONLINE AND CUT AND PASTE FROM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.
METRO PARKS HAS THE SAME THING WITH DIFFERENT PROPERTIES.
AND SO YEAH, THERE'S MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE, A LITTLE, A LITTLE MORE THAN WHAT WE NEED FOR, YOU KNOW, UP THERE BEING THAT IT'S A LARGE FACILITY AND PROBABLY LOTS OF DOLLARS ON THAT.
SO ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOSH? UH, AND THEN ON THAT SAME TOPIC.
SO, UM, WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE A SOFT OPENING THIS YEAR, ONCE WE KNOW WHEN EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE DONE.
UM, AND THEN NEXT YEAR WHEN THEY FINISHED THE SKILLS LOOP AND EVERYTHING IS COMPLETELY DONE, THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BIG BLOW OUT BASH, UH, GRAND OPENING.
UM, TOM EVEN SAID THAT THEY LET HIM KNOW WHAT WE DO THIS YEAR.
UM, AND YOU KNOW, WHEN WE DO THE BIG ONE NEXT YEAR, HE'LL BRING SOME FRIENDS PUT ON A SHOW.
I'VE TALKED TO THE FORMER OWNER OF OHIO SURF AND SKATE THAT USED TO BE DOWN AT BEAVER CREEK.
HE'S STILL GOT SOME CONNECTIONS, SO HE'S CAN GET SOME, YOU KNOW, SOME SKATERS TO COME OUT FOR AN EVENT NEXT YEAR AS WELL.
SO WE'LL START KINDA PIECING THAT TOGETHER.
AND THEN ONCE WE KNOW WHAT THINGS ARE LOOKING LIKE IN THE SPRING NEXT YEAR, WE'LL SET SOMETHING FROM AHEAD OF TIME WHERE WE CAN GET A BIG CROWD THERE AND HAVE A BIG PARTY ALL DAY.
WE'LL WALK THERE AND I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO GO THERE NOW BECAUSE THE PROCESS OF THEM BUILDING THIS, LIKE I SAID, I THOUGHT THE WHOLE THING WAS GOING TO BE BUILT GROUND LEVEL, BUT THEY'RE DIGGING IT DOWN.
LIKE EVERYTHING IS LIKE DOWN IN THE GROUND FOR THE PUMP TRACK.
SO IT'S REALLY NEAT HOW, HOW THEY'D DONE IT OUT AND ALL THE DIRT THEY TOOK FROM THAT WENT RIGHT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL FROM THE BMX TRACK.
UM, AND YOU KNOW, UNEARTHING SOME OF THE OLD POOL AS THEY WENT.
I MEAN, WHEN WE DUG THE POOL OUT, WE TOOK THE WALLS OUT AND FILLED IT WITH GRAVEL.
SO THEY START DIGGING ALL THIS GRAVEL OUT AND YOU KNOW, IT'S SO IT WAS KINDA, IT'S KINDA BEEN COOL UP THERE.
I THINK WE'VE GONE THROUGH A, ALMOST A THOUSAND YARDS DIRT SO FAR, AND THAT WAS ALL ALREADY ON SITE.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO BRING ANY EXTRA DIRT IN YET.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOSH TO MY LEFT? ALRIGHT.
AND GO PET SALLY WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE.
SALLY'S THE, THE BMX DOLL THAT'S UP THERE.
SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT TONIGHT.
I'M HERE ADDITIONAL BITS AND SEND ANNOUNCEMENTS.
I DON'T HAVE ANY JOSH AS THEY WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS OR BUSINESS.
CHRIS, CHRIS, YOU WANT TO PLUG ANYTHING WHILE YOU'RE UP HERE? UM,
WE'LL START NOVEMBER BUYING THE LABORATORY SCREENING EVALUATION.
YOU GOT ANY MORE YARD SIGNS LEFT? WE DO HAVE A PUBLIC ART SCIENCE LAB.
I'LL CHECK IN THE CORNER TOMORROW, BRIDES BASKETBALL.
IF ANYBODY WANTS A YARD SIGN TO ADVERTISE IN THEIR YARD, REACH OUT TO CHRIS OR MYSELF, CRYSTAL, AND THEN WE'LL, I'LL GET AHOLD OF CHRIS TO GET ONE TO YOU.
MY SON PLAYED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND REALLY LIKED IT, SO.
SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE.
HAS EVERYONE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE MINUTES? OKAY.
I DO HAVE, SORRY, I DO HAVE ONE.
[00:55:01]
YOU GOT A COPY OF THE PARKS FACILITIES USE PROCEDURE.UM, WE MAY NOT DO IT NEXT MEETING.
WE MAY WAIT UNTIL DECEMBER'S MEETING, BUT I WANT EVERYBODY TO TAKE SOME TIME TO GO THROUGH THIS.
UM, HIGHLIGHT ANYTHING THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND OR THINGS YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT.
UM, CAUSE THIS IS A DOCUMENT THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE REVIEWED EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS.
I THINK ANNUALLY ANNUALLY EVERY YEAR.
AND IT HASN'T BEEN IN A WHILE, AT LEAST NOT BY THE BOARD.
SO, SO LET'S, UH, LET'S GO THROUGH IT AND YOU KNOW, ANYTHING YOU SEE ON THERE, YOU CAN USE CRAYONS IF YOU NEED TO GLEN.
UM, BUT UH, JUST KINDA MARK IT UP AND UH, COME BACK WITH ANY QUESTIONS AND WE'LL DISCUSS IT EITHER NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER, NOVEMBER THAT SAYS NOVEMBER.
SO YOU GOT A MONTH TO GET IT DONE.
SO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW ME, WE DO THIS EVERY NOVEMBER.
WE DIDN'T DO IT LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF COVID.
UM, BUT, UM, WE, WE DID IT A YEAR BEFORE THAT, SO WE WILL LOOK AT IT AGAIN IN NOVEMBER AND THEN WE'LL VOTE TO DECEMBER TO APPROVE IT.
AND THAT'S JUST IN CASE THERE ARE ANY CHANGES, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PRICING FOR ANY OF THE FIELDS, ANY RECOMMENDED CHANGES IN PRICING FOR THE FIELDS.
UM, SO, UM, SO YEAH, SO THIS IS ON THE AGENDA ALREADY FOR FEBRUARY.
UM, AND THEN ALONG WITH THAT DECEMBER, WE WILL BE DOING ELECTIONS.
SO THINK ABOUT IT AND FIGURE OUT IF YOU WANT TO RUN WELL, IF YOU WANT TO SIT IN A CHAIR AND VICE-CHAIR POSITION FOR 2022.
ALL RIGHT, SO WE'LL TRY THIS AGAIN.
UH, HAS EVERYONE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE MINUTES? OKAY.
IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS, THE MINUTES WILL BE APPROVED AS WRITTEN OBJECTIONS.
OUR NEXT MEETING IS ON NOVEMBER, NOVEMBER 18TH AT 6:30 PM.
