[ AGENDA ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road October 17, 2022 6:30 P.M. ]
TODAY IS OCTOBER 17TH, 2022.AND I'D LIKE TO CALL THE MEETING OF THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION TO ORDER.
UM, MS. JERRY, COULD YOU DO ROLL CALL FOR SURE.
SHE DID, UM, EMAIL ME TODAY THAT SHE WAS NOT GONNA BE HERE.
AND SHE ALSO EMAILED US THAT SHE WOULDN'T BE HERE.
UH, I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TONIGHT.
I SEE SOME, UM, CITIZENS AND OTHERS IN THE OUT THERE.
SO, UM, IS THERE ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS?
IS, UH, BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.
CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? I WILL.
UH, MY NAME IS, UH, RICHARD SHAW, UH, 76 40 RAIN VIEW COURT.
UM, I'M GONNA ADDRESS YOU TONIGHT.
UH, I KNOW I CAN NEVER TAKE OFF THE HAT AS COUNCIL MEMBER, AND IT IS WARM UP IN HERE.
I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING INTERROGATED.
IT'S VERY STRANGE AND I'M IN THE HOT SEAT.
UM, UH, MY, MY GOAL HERE TONIGHT IS NOT TO ADDRESS YOU AS, AS A COUNCILS MEMBER AND ELECTED OFFICIAL, BUT MORE AS A RESIDENT, UM, AND A VOLUNTEER AND SOMEBODY WHO CARES DEEPLY ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY.
UM, IT WAS RECENTLY BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION, UH, THAT THIS COMMISSION HAS OPTED, UH, NOT TO WELCOME BACK THE VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF, UH, USED AT LAST YEAR'S RECORD SETTING CHRISTMAS CONCERT.
THESE ARE THE SAME VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF THAT HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE CITY'S CHRISTMAS CONCERT SINCE 2017.
THIS IS THE SAME SET OF VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF THAT HAS PARTNERED WITH THE HUBER HEIGHTS FIRE DEPARTMENT, HUBER HEIGHTS CITY SCHOOLS FOR THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT PARADE PRIOR TO THE TREE LIGHTING.
THIS IS THE SAME VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF THAT VISIT MANY LOCAL BUSINESSES AND RETAILERS DRESS IN THEIR CHRISTMAS SPIRIT TO PROMOTE THE CITY'S CHRISTMAS CONCERT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
THIS IS THE SAME SET OF VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF THAT HAVE PARTNERED WITH THE HUBBER HEIGHTS OPTIMIST CLUB FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS WITH THEIR ANNUAL TREE LOT.
THIS IS THE SAME SET OF VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF THAT IN PREVIOUS YEARS, HAVE PARTNERED WITH THE ROTARY CLUB TO HELP WRAP AND DELIVER GIFTS TO HUBER HEIGHTS RESIDENTS.
THIS IS THE SAME SET OF VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF THAT HAVE PARTNERED PREVIOUSLY WITH ENGAGED CITY CHURCH AND THE HUBER HEIGHTS FIRE DEPARTMENT IN THE PREVIOUS HUBER HEIGHTS CHRISTMAS PARADE.
I WOULD NOTE THAT THE VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF IN QUESTION WAS ACTUALLY IN THEIR FINAL STAGES OF PREP WORK BEFORE LEARNING OF THE TRAGIC NEWS JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO.
IT WAS FURTHER REVEALED THAT THE CITY ADMINISTRATION WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THIS CHANGE OF DIRECTION AS THERE WAS A PREVIOUS GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT ESTABLISHED FROM PRIOR YEARS WITH THE VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF MENTIONED.
IN CLOSING, I FIND IT VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT THESE VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF USED FOR THE PAST FIVE PLUS YEARS THAT VOLUNTEERED THEIR TIME, MONEY, AND CHRISTMAS SPIRIT WAS ESSENTIALLY FIRED BY THIS COMMISSION.
WITHOUT NOTICE, THESE VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF MEMBERS WERE NOT EVEN GIVEN A COURTESY PHONE CALL, TEXT MESSAGE, OR EMAIL REGARDING THE REASON FOR THIS CHANGE.
I WANT TO THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND SERVICE.
I KNOW THAT THIS DECISION WAS BASED NOT ON PERSONAL REASONS, BUT MUST HAVE BEEN BASED ON PROFESSIONALISM OF THESE INDIVIDUALS.
AND I HOPE THAT WE HAVE A VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENT THIS YEAR.
ANYONE WANT TO RESPOND TO MR. SHAW? OH, MR. SHAW, UM, YOU KNOW, I, I CAN SEE THAT YOU'RE UPSET AND I'M VERY SORRY.
UM, I KNOW IT DEFINITELY WAS NOT INTENTIONAL, UM, TO HAVE OVERLOOKED.
I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE, WHEN WE VOTED FOR A NEW SANTA, THAT THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT.
UM, AND I KNOW A LOT OF US ARE MAYBE LESS THAN A YEAR OR TWO YEARS.
UH, IT WAS MORE OF A GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT, WHICH WAS AN ORAL NON-LEGAL BINDING AGREEMENT.
UM, AND YOU KNOW, AS NOTED, THAT WAS THE SAME INDIVIDUAL AGREEMENT THAT HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST SIX PLUS YEARS.
NOW, MIND YOU, THE CHAIR OF THIS COMMISSION, AND I BELIEVE EVEN YOURSELF, ATTENDED A COUNCIL WORK
[00:05:01]
SESSION IN FEBRUARY AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECORD SETTING ACHIEVEMENT, UM, OF THE PRIOR YEAR.AND, UM, THE VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF AND I'M, I MENTIONED, WAS EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED AT THAT MEETING.
UM, SO THAT WAS JUST WHAT, EIGHT SHORT MONTHS AGO? YES, ABSOLUTELY.
SO, UM, SO PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU KNOW, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THESE, THESE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE GIVEN A LOT TO THIS COMMUNITY WAS TAKEN BACK QUITE A BIT.
I MEAN, ESPECIALLY NOT EVEN BEING PROVIDED A TEXT MESSAGE, A PHONE CALL OR ANYTHING, UM, MANY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE UNABLE TO BE PRESENT AT SOME OF YOUR MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR DUE TO OTHER ENGAGEMENTS THAT THEY HAVE WITHIN THE REGIONS, STATE AND CITY.
HOWEVER, THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN PRESENT AT A LOT OF YOUR EVENTS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
SO, UM, AND, AND PLEASE UNDERSTAND, THIS IS NOT A, UM, A PERSONAL ATTACK ON ANY ONE OF YOU.
UM, IT IS, I THINK SOME OF YOU MAY BE EVEN HEARING SOME OF THIS INFORMATION FOR THE FIRST TIME.
IT MAY, MAYBE ASKING YOURSELVES, HOW DID WE GET TO THIS POINT? UM, I, I KNOW IT'S BEEN A SITUATION THAT CITY COUNCIL HAS ASKED OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS TO EMPOWER THEMSELVES, UH, TO, TO MAKE THESE TYPES OF DECISIONS.
AND SOMETIMES THESE TYPES OF DECISIONS ARE HARD, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REASONING FOR THE COURSE OF CHANGE WAS BY THIS BOARD.
UM, AND, UH, AND LIKE I SAID, UH, THESE, THESE VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF WILL, YOU KNOW, MOVE FORWARD AND THERE WILL BE OTHER EVENTS IN THE CITY THAT THEY'LL PARTICIPATE IN AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
UM, WILL IT BE, YOU KNOW, AS LARGE AS THE PREVIOUS YEARS, UM, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE PLANNING AND PREP WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE UP TO DATE TO GET TO THIS POINT, WORKING WITH BUSINESSES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE.
UM, OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A LOT OF THE LEGWORK THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT AS WELL AS, UH, YOUR STAFF LIAISON AND CITY ADMINISTRATION.
BUT, UM, LIKE I SAID, I, I JUST FELT LIKE THAT THE, UH, THE VOLUNTEERS AND THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO'VE PUT A LOT OF TIME IN, YOU KNOW, SHOULD TELL YOU GUYS HOW THEY FEEL AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THAT.
SO, RICHARD, ARE YOU, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF CUZ YOU'VE PLAYED CHARACTERS BEFORE? YES.
UM, IS, IS THAT GLEN AND ANDY? MM-HMM.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS DONE IN THE PAST THAT, THAT'S HELPED OUT? YEAH, THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE BEHIND THE SAME THAT AS FAR AS I KNOW, WE JUST HAVE A, A, WE VOTED ON A SANTA, IF YOU WANNA KNOW THE THREE INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE DIRECTLY AFFECTED.
YOU IDENTIFIED ALL THREE OF 'EM.
YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE.
BUT THERE, LIKE I SAID, THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENES THAT'S HELPED, YOU KNOW, BY GIFTS, BOOKS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, FACILITATE, UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE GO INTO LIKE TARGET, WALMART, YOU KNOW, WE TAKE OVER THE INTERCOM SYSTEM, THINGS LIKE THAT.
I MEAN, THERE'S BEEN PICTURES ALL OVER FACEBOOK OF THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BUSINESSES TO PROMOTE THE CITY EVENT.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WITH THE, UH, THE, YOU KNOW, THE SLEIGH, UH, THAT'S BEEN PULLED AROUND BY THE SCHOOLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UH, ENGAGED CITY, CHURCH, ROTARY, YOU KNOW, OPTUM, IT GOES ON AND ON AND ON.
SO, YEAH, I MEAN THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THAT TRUE COMMUNITY INTERACTION THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR SEVERAL, SEVERAL YEARS.
AND WHEN YOU BUILD IT UP, IF WE ALL SIT BACK AND THINK, YOU KNOW, WHAT OUR CHRISTMAS CONCERTS WERE LIKE IN 20 15, 20 16, WHEN THOSE INDIVIDUALS, YOU KNOW, STARTED ROUGHLY THEREAFTER, AND HOW DID, HOW DO WE GO FROM HERE TO A RECORD SETTING HERE? WELL, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.
WE ALL KNOW THAT THO THOSE THINGS TAKE TIME AND, AND CHANGE INTO EFFECT.
AND, YOU KNOW, WITH A LOT OF WORK BY THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO CARED DEEPLY ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS AND WAS NOT DOING IT FOR PERSONAL OR POLITICAL REASONS, UM, THAT'S, THAT'S HOW YOU GET TO HAVE A RECORD SETTING HERE.
MATTER OF FACT, MS. TIG, I, I BELIEVE EVEN AT THAT, THAT WORK SESSION THAT WAS MENTIONED, IT WAS MENTIONED BY THE CHAIR OF THIS COMMITTEE THAT THERE WAS SO MANY EVENTS PLANNED LAST YEAR THAT A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITY COULDN'T ENJOY THOSE EVENTS BECAUSE EVERYBODY WAS SO IN AWE OF SEEING SANTA AND ALL THE HELPERS AND GIFTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT WAS GOING ON.
I MEAN, THERE WAS LINES THAT JUST KEPT GOING.
PEOPLE HAD SAID THEY'D NEVER SEEN THAT MANY PEOPLE THERE BEFORE.
UM, I MEAN, SOMEWHAT EVEN EVEN QUESTION, WAS THERE MORE PEOPLE AT LAST YEAR'S CHRISTMAS CONCERT THAN WAS AT THE MOST RECENT MARYWOOD FESTIVAL? I MEAN, IT WAS HUGE.
WE RAN OUT OF EVERYTHING THAT WE BROUGHT THAT WAS VOLUNTEERS WERE JUST OVERWHELMED.
SO, YOU KNOW, I I OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY AS A A CITIZEN, BUT AS, AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, I DO QUESTION THE DIRECTION, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE ASKED TO DO, IS TO EMPOWER YOURSELVES TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS.
I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, UM, I DID NOT, UH, GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR STAFF LIAISON OR CITY ADMINISTRATION TO SAY, HEY, WHAT WAS THE REASON? YOU KNOW, WHAT HAPPENED? I ACCEPT THE DECISION TO MOVE ON BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO AS ADULTS.
SO AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND THOSE BEHIND THE SCENES ARE STILL GONNA SUPPORT THE, THE, THE EVENT AS AS WE HAVE EVERY YEAR.
[00:10:01]
WE'RE GONNA SUPPORT THE OTHER EVENTS WITH THE NON-PROFITS IN THE COMMUNITY AS WE DO EVERY YEAR.UM, BUT SOMETIMES DECISIONS DO HAVE CONSEQUENCES AND SOMETIMES PERSONAL INTERFERENCE AND, AND POLITICAL REASONS DO HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
AND, AND BEING THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS NOT ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE THAT SHOULD EVER HAPPEN.
UM, MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT I ENJOY THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT AND I'VE DONE SO BEFORE I EVEN WAS ELECTED IN THIS COMMUNITY.
AND I DO IT OUTSIDE OF THIS COMMUNITY FOR OTHER CITIES AS WELL, AND SO DOES THE OTHER INDIVIDUALS.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE JUST DO FOR THIS COMMUNITY.
SO, BUT, UH, LIKE I SAID, THOSE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND, UH, I DON'T WANT TO GET OFF ON A TANGENT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT IF YOU GUYS DO HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, I FEEL, BE ANSWER 'EM AS BEST I CAN.
RICHARD, I, I WANNA MAKE A STATEMENT IN THE DEFENSE OF THIS COMMISSION, UM, NOT BEING AWARE OF ALL THE BEHIND THE SCENES, THEY ARE AWARE OF WHAT IS DISCUSSED HERE, WHICH PART OF THE EVENT THEY ARE GOING TO HANDLE, MAYBE NOT BEING AWARE OF, ENGAGED CITY CHURCH, DOING ALL THE, UM, TOURING OF THE, YOU KNOW, NOT KNOWING THAT ALL THAT IS TOGETHER.
THEY WERE, UM, HANDED A AN OPTION, CAN WE DO THIS THIS YEAR? MM-HMM.
UM, I DON'T THINK ANYONE MEANT TO HURT ANYONE ELSE.
I DON'T, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT FOR A MINUTE.
SO OF COURSE WE WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WOULD ALL JOIN US.
WE DO WANT IT TO BE A GREAT EVENT.
WE LIKE FOR IT TO BE A JOYOUS EVENT.
SO THAT, THAT IS WHAT I WANTED TO SAY.
IF ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT, AND, AND THIS IS A MESSAGE THAT I'VE TAKEN TO MANY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, IS TRUST, BUT VERIFY AND DO YOUR RESEARCH WITH EVERY PIECE THAT YOU GUYS, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS ARE, UM, BROUGHT TO THIS BOARD AND COMMISSION AT THE WILL CITY COUNCIL.
YOU GUYS HAVE A LOT OF RESEARCH.
DO NOT TAKE THINGS THAT COME FROM CITY COUNCIL, CITY ADMINISTRATION, UM, AND RESPECTFULLY YOUR STAFF LIAISON.
ASK YOUR OWN QUESTIONS, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.
IF IT DOESN'T PASS YOUR SMELL TEST, ASK QUESTIONS.
IF IT DOESN'T MEET YOUR CRITERIA, ASK QUESTIONS.
YOU GUYS ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU, YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT'S BEST FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND TO MAKE IT THRIVE.
SO, RICHARD, CAN I ASK A QUESTION? PLEASE.
I THINK LAST YEAR, I, WE KNEW YOU WERE ASKED TO BE SANTA BECAUSE YOU CAME AND YOU REQUESTED IT.
AM I, AM I THINKING CORRECTLY ON THAT ONE? WE ALWAYS HAVE ASKED HIM.
I, YOU KNOW, GOSH, I AM SO SORRY.
I'M SO SORRY THAT, UM, THAT THIS HAPPENED.
NO, THESE THINGS HAPPEN AND, UH, YOU KNOW, CHANGE OF DIRECTION IS, UH, IS SOMETIMES GOOD AND SOMETIMES BAD.
AND, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE'LL SUPPORT IT AND WE'LL MOVE ON.
BUT, YOU KNOW, MY WHOLE REASONING FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT WAS TO SHARE WITH YOU THE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS.
SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF THE, THE BACKLOG AND, AND HISTORY THAT YOU MAY HAVE NOT KNOWN UNTIL TODAY.
UM, SO, SO A LOT OF THAT COULD SINK IN, YOU KNOW, AND, AND MAYBE ASK YOURSELVES, AND I'M NOT ASKING FOR THAT HERE TONIGHT, IS HOW DID WE GET FROM THERE TO HERE? AND WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE TO THERE? AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT.
SO WHEN DO, JUST DON'T, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT DOESN'T MAKE A CONFLICT WHEN WE DO HAVE IT.
LET'S ALL COME TOGETHER, AS JERRY SAID.
WHEN DO WE USUALLY ASK THE PERSON TO BE YOU GUYS TO BE SANTA? WHEN DO WE USUALLY NOTIFY OR
TWO THAT WE'VE DONE THAT WE EVER MEAN.
YOU WERE ALWAYS HERE OF HIS HEART.
SO YEAH, I WAS JUST WONDERING.
AND OUR PROCESS, OR WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT THIS CHRISTMAS FOR NEXT CHRISTMAS.
TO, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, IT HAS EVER SINCE 20 END OF 2016, BEGINNING OF TWENTIES, IT'S JUST BEEN THAT, THAT GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT, THAT ORAL AGREEMENT THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN IN PLACE.
UM, AND TO MR. FOX'S POINT, IT'S JUST, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE.
NOW, THERE WAS A SITUATION, UM, OR EARLY ON, UM, BECAUSE SOME OF THE VOLUNTEERS DID NOT HAVE ALL OF THE PROPER ATTIRE, UM, THAT, THAT HAD TO BE RENTED OUT THROUGH CITY COST.
UM, AND THEN BECAUSE OF THE, UM, ENGAGEMENT THAT WE HAD WITH NOT ONLY THIS COMMUNITY NON-PROFITS AND OUTSIDE THE, THE CITY, WE WAS LIKE, WHOA.
SO WE DECIDED TO INVEST OUR OWN MONEY INTO MAKING SURE OUR OWN, YOU KNOW, SPIRIT WEAR WAS AVAILABLE.
[00:15:01]
UH, THE CITY A LOT OF MONEY, UM, FROM THAT ASPECT.AND, AND AGAIN, IT WAS JUST, IT WAS JUST DONE.
JUST A QUICK QUESTION WHILE WE STILL HAVE RICHARD.
JOHN, WHEN DID WE DECIDE THAT WE WERE GONNA DO A DIFFERENT SANTA I'M LAST MONTH.
I THINK IT WAS LAST MEETING THERE, MAYBE LAST MEETING BEFORE LAST.
I MEAN, I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT I WAS WIDE AWAKE AND AWARE THE WHOLE TIME, BUT, UH, I DON'T RECALL THAT WE SAID WE WERE GETTING A DIFFERENT SANTA.
WE JUST WERE TALKING ABOUT A SANTA.
THERE WAS A MOTION MADE AND VOTED ON.
YOU GUYS HAVE A WONDERFUL MEETING.
UH, I'M GONNA GO HOME AND ENJOY MY DINNER, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.
DID YOU HAVE CALL? JUST REAL BRIEF, GLEN OT, I'M, OOPS.
UM, I, I DON'T REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY.
I I'LL BE IN FULL SUPPORT AS I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.
UM, IT'S, IT'S A WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR AND THAT'S WHY WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IT.
AND ANY OF YOU THAT HAVE SEEN US OUT AND ABOUT DOING IT, YOU'LL KNOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE TO DO THAT.
UM, THE ONLY, THE ONLY ISSUE I HAD WITH THIS WAS JUST, I WISH THERE WAS SOME MORE COMMUNICATION AHEAD OF TIME.
HEY, WE'RE THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, GOING A DIFFERENT DIRECTION OR, YOU KNOW, JUST A LITTLE HEADS UP, YOU KNOW, HEARING ABOUT IT AFTER THE FACT IS KIND OF A WIND OUT OF THE SALES KIND OF THING.
SO, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS IT FOR ME.
IT WAS JUST KINDA LIKE, OH, NOT, WE'RE NOT DOING THAT ANYMORE.
SO, BUT I'M SURE WE'LL FIND A NEW FORM, FASHION SOMEHOW, SOME WAY.
AND AGAIN, WHAT I WANNA SAY IS, I, I DON'T THINK THESE GUYS WERE AWARE OF, HEY, LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.
BUT WE ALWAYS LOVED YOUR SUIT.
I LOVED YOUR SUIT, BUT SOON WILL BE THERE.
ANY MORE CITIZEN COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT.
UM, OLD BUSINESS, UM, IS THE YOUNG MARINES HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF? ALL RIGHT.
I CAME LAST MONTH AND YOU GUYS ASKED ME TO RETURN WITH A, A MORE OF A PROPOSED PLAN.
UH, WE DID PUT A LITTLE COMMITTEE TOGETHER WHO'S BEEN WORKING ON IT ON OUR END.
UH, SO I HAVE YOUNG MARINE LANCE CORPORAL VITS HERE, UH, MCKENZIE VITS, WHO'S GOING TO, UH, SHARE HER IDEAS AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE.
MCKENZIE, CAN I GET YOU TO SPELL YOUR NAME PLEASE? UM, M A C K E N Z I E V I E Z.
I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS THE LAST NAME? VS.
SO MY IDEAS IS TO, FOR THIS ART COMPETITION SURROUNDING MENTAL HEALTH AND DRUG USE, THE CATEGORIES TO THE DIGITAL CANVAS, PERFORMING, ARTS, SCULPTURE, AND OTHER FOR ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T GO INTO THOSE CATEGORIES.
MACKENZIE, I'M GONNA HAVE TO ASK YOU TO COME A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE MICROPHONE.
YEAH, YOU CAN PULL, BEND IT UP A LITTLE BIT IF YOU NEED TO.
AND THEN IF YOU'D GIVE ME THOSE CATEGORIES AGAIN, DIGITAL CANVAS, PERFORMING ARTS, SCULPTURE AND OTHER, THAT DOESN'T GO INTO THOSE CATEGORIES.
AND FOR PRIZES, IT COULD BE TROPHIES, ART SUPPLIES, ET CETERA.
WE COULD GET SPONSORSHIPS TO HELP WITH THAT.
UM, FOR THE DATE, FOR THIS, UM, NOVEMBER WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD MONTH FOR THAT.
MAY, UM, WE WOULD LIKE, UM, FOR YOU TO DO THE ADVERTISING TO FIND THE LOCATION IN MIAMI OR MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
AND WE WOULD LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF GUIDANCE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS BEFORE AND WE WANT TO RUN IT REALLY WELL.
SO I'M GONNA INTERRUPT YOU JUST, AND ASK QUESTIONS AS WE GO.
SO YOU WANTED THEIR HELP WITH THE ADVERTISING MM-HMM.
AND THEN I DIDN'T HEAR THE NEXT PART.
DO YOU, DID YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC DATE IN MAY IN MIND YET? NO, NOT YET.
[00:20:01]
YOU WOULD WANT TO DO THIS ON A SATURDAY? PERHAPS? PROBABLY SATURDAY.SO AS SOON AS MY PHONE GETS ROUNDED, DOING WHAT? I, BRINGING MY CALENDAR UP.
HEY, YOUR SATURDAYS IN MAY ARE THE SIXTH, 13TH, 20TH MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND IS THE 29TH.
SO YOU PROBABLY WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT WEEKEND UNLESS YOU THINK THAT US MARINES AND MEMORIAL DAY WOULD BE A DRAW.
NO, I'M, WHAT WAS THE SECOND WEEKEND STATE? THE, UH, 20TH.
SO LIKE THE THIRD ONE, THEN 20TH.
SO HOW DOES THAT SOUND? I GOT ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENING AROUND THAT DATE? 26TH MOTHER'S DAY, MEMORIAL DAY.
SO WE'RE, SO WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING AT MAY 20TH.
THERE IS A FISHING DERBY THAT WEEK, THAT SAME DAY.
SO, WELL, NOT A, I THINK IT'S OVER A PEACE AND TRANQUILITY POND.
WELL, WE'LL PROBABLY BE INVITED TO THAT TOO.
YEAH, THAT IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD WANT TO PROBABLY CONSIDER FOR AN INDOOR EVENT THEN, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO DO IT OUTDOORS.
OH, I THOUGHT WE'D ALREADY KIND OF DECIDED THE COMMUNITY CENTER WAS, SO IT COULD BE, IT COULD GO, IT COULD SPELL OUTDOORS IF NEED BE.
YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE FAM, UM, THE COMMUNITY CENTER, RIGHT? HAVE YOU BEEN DOWN? YOU'VE BEEN DOWN THERE? IT'S ON LONGOW.
LIKE THE OLD KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS BUILDING NEXT DOOR.
I I THE OVERALL STILL WE HAVE THE ONE OPTION.
SO THAT WOULD BE OUR AD ADVICE IS TO HAVE IT THERE.
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO SECURE THAT? UM, USUALLY IT'S JUST A $50 DEPOSIT, BEING THAT YOUR NONPROFIT, I'M GONNA CHECK ON THAT PART OF IT FOR YOU, BUT THAT'S DONE THROUGH HERE AT CITY HALL.
SO I CAN UM, I CAN ACTUALLY PROBABLY SECURE IT FOR YOU IF YOU WANT US TO MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION FOR THE 6TH OF MAY.
SO WE CAN AT LEAST GET IT TENTATIVELY IN YOUR NAME THAT FAR IN ADVANCE.
BUT SINCE YOU'VE BEEN THERE, YOU SAW THE ART SHOW THEY HAD HERE.
IT'S A PRETTY GOOD SIZE FACILITY.
ANYONE ELSE? I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING.
WOULD YOU BE BRINGING IN YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT TO DO THE DIGITAL PORTION OF THAT? LIKE WE HAD LIKE, LIKE IF SOMEBODY HAD A VIDEO OR SOMETHING SHARE.
YEAH, I MEAN, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAD SOMEBODY THAT WANTED TO DO A DIGITAL PARTICIPATE AS A DIGITAL, UH, ARTIST.
HE, HE DID NOT HAVE HIS EQUIPMENT TO BRING, WE DIDN'T HAVE EQUIPMENT TO PROVIDE TO HIM.
SO WOULD YOU HANDLE, UM, THE PARTICIPANTS APPLYING? WOULD YOU HANDLE THAT PART OF IT? THEY WOULD APPLY THROUGH YOU, YOUR GROUP AS TO WHO ALL'S COMING? MM-HMM.
ONE GOOD SUGGESTION IS A GOOGLE FORM.
IT PUTS IT ALL IN ONE PLACE AND IT CAN SET YOU UP WITH A LIST AND EVERYTHING.
AND SO MCKENZIE, I THINK WHAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT AS A GROUP IS GETTING SOMEONE WHO COULD BE A LIAISON TO YOU TO KIND OF HELP YOU WITH THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
TELLING YOU, HEY, THIS NEEDS TO BE OUT THERE.
BY THIS TIME WHEN PEOPLE START REPLYING BACK, THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD DO.
THAT WAY YOU GET AN IDEA OF HOW MANY PEOPLE, UM, WANT TO PARTICIPATE.
AND THAT WAY, YOU KNOW HOW BIG OF A SHOW IT'S GOING TO BECOME.
HOW MANY PRIZES YOU'RE WANTING TO LOOK AT.
UM, WHAT WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT WHEN WE HAVE AN ART SHOW IS WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE REFRESHMENTS THERE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE'S ARTWORK MAYBE GETTING FOOD SPILLED ON IT.
BUT WE ALWAYS DO LIKE TO HAVE MAYBE BOTTLED WATER AVAILABLE.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING YOU MIGHT WANNA THINK ABOUT.
UM, JUST SOME KIND OF MAYBE LIGHT TYPE A COOKIE OR SOMETHING THEY COULD TAKE ON THEIR WAY OUT.
UM, WHAT ELSE CAN WE, I ALSO REACHED OUT TO, UM, SOME, UH, YOU KNOW, NICK, THE POLICE OFFICER LAMBERT.
SO I REACHED OUT TO HIM AND A GENTLEMAN IN
[00:25:01]
CHARGE OF CELEBRATE RECOVERY.UM, AND THEY'RE WILLING TO HELP COME IN ALONGSIDE YOU GUYS ALSO.
SO THAT'S THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND UM, A CELEBRATE RECOVERY.
UM, THEY WERE WILLING TO TALK TO YOU AND SEE WHAT YOU WOULD NEED AND PARTNER WITH YOU GUYS.
WELL, HE'S US NEXT WEDNESDAY AT OUR MEETING.
SO CHAT, I SEND HIM A MESSAGE, ASKED HIM IF HE'D BE WILLING, UM, TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT MORE SMITH MM-HMM.
SO, AND THEN, UM, I'LL GET YOU IN, I'LL GET YOU THE NUMBER OF, UH, HIS NAME IS MIKE.
UM, I'LL GET YOU THE INFORMATION FOR HIM, BUT HE'S WILLING TO WORK ON IT AND HAVE HIS TEAM COME ALONGSIDE YOU TOO.
AND SO I WANNA SAY TO YOU THAT I THINK YOU'RE, YOU'RE DOING A GREAT TIME FRAME BY STARTING YOUR, UM, PLANNING NOW AND THINKING ABOUT IT.
BECAUSE IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT MAY, I THINK YOU WOULD WANNA BE READY TO BURST THAT OUT JANUARY OF LOOKING FOR PARTICIPANTS AND THEN, UM, SPONSORS.
SPONSORS PERHAPS, AND THEN MAYBE ADVERTISING IT A LITTLE LATER.
HEY, THIS IS, THIS EVENT IS HAPPENING.
UM, BUT I THINK YOU'VE GOT A GOOD START ON IT.
I THINK MAY 6TH IS A GOOD DATE.
UM, BECAUSE OF THOSE OTHER THINGS HAPPENING LATER IN THE MONTH.
I'LL CHECK WITH JOSH ON THE COMMUNITY CENTER CUZ THAT IS RUN THROUGH THAT OFFICE.
BUT IF WE CAN GET THAT NAILED DOWN FOR YOU, THEN YOU, THEN YOU'RE IN A, IN A GOOD PLACE, THEN YOU'RE ABLE TO JUST RUN WITH SOME OF YOUR IDEAS AND I THINK WE WILL SEE ABOUT MAYBE GETTING, LIKE I SAY, A PERSON THAT COULD KIND OF BE ON THE LIAISON WITH YOU.
SO YOU'RE TAKING ON THIS, UM, THIS ROLE FOR THIS EVENT.
SOMETHING I MIGHT SUGGEST THAT WHEN YOU POST THIS ON FACEBOOK, DO IT AS AN EVENT.
DON'T JUST PUT IT OUT THERE AS A POST.
UH, BY DOING IT AS AN EVENT, IT GETS INTO A CALENDAR SYSTEM INCLUDED WITH FACEBOOK.
IT KEEPS BRINGING IT UP AND IT KEEPS PREVENTED FROM GETTING BURIED BY THE TIME YOUR EVENT COMES ABOUT.
PLUS IT ALSO ATTRACTS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED AND WHO ACTUALLY WILL COMMIT TO GOING.
SO YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT KIND OF A HEAD COUNT YOU HAVE.
BUT WHERE YOU'RE ASKING FOR OUR HELP WITH ADVERTISING, WE CAN, WELL CAN HELP WITH THAT.
WE CAN HELP GUIDE WITH, DO YOU HAVE THAT EVENT READY, WHEN TO PUT IT OUT A FLYER.
WE CAN WORK WITH YOU ON YOUR IDEAS FOR A FLYER, THAT KIND OF THING.
AND NORMALLY WHAT COMES WITH THAT IS THAT, UM, PUTTING THAT FLYER ON THE BIG KEY AD SIGN DOWN THERE ON BRAT PIKE.
SO THOSE ARE SOME OF OUR ADVERTISING THINGS THAT WE DO AND WE'D LOVE TO SHARE ALL THAT WITH YOU.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ONE OTHER THING TO YOUR, YOUR, YOUR, UH, BILLBOARD THAT'S EIGHT SECONDS.
SO WHEN YOU'RE DESIGNING WHATEVER YOU WANT TO APPEAR ON THERE, IT'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING FOR SOMEBODY DRIVING BY CAN READ AND PROBABLY A SECOND OR LESS
YOU ONLY READ THAT WHEN YOU'RE STUCK AT THE RED LIGHT
SO DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF US? NO, MA'AM.
SO WE WILL DISCUSS IT AND WE'LL, UM, WE'LL MAKE, WE'LL MAKE A MOTION ON IT AND WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.
AND THEN KEEGAN, DO YOU WANT US TO CONTACT MACKENZIE DIRECTLY? CONTACT HER THROUGH YOU.
YOU'LL GET US HER INFORMATION.
HOW DO YOU WANT US TO DO THAT? OKAY.
BUT NO, IF YOU COULD GET LIKE A LIAISON CAUSE THEY, SHE CAN DO HER OWN PLANNING MEETINGS OR MAYBE WE WORKING WITH THIS GROUP YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, UM, MAYBE WE CAN HAVE THAT LIAISON COME OUT TO THOSE MEETINGS OR SOMETHING.
SO, UM, FOR WITHOUT MOVING ON, LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.
SO I GUESS THE QUESTION IS IDEAS.
PEOPLE, ANYONE I THINK SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE GONNA DO MUCH OF THE WORK.
THEY'RE JUST ONE PLACE, THE DATE AND ADVERTISING, I GET THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY WANT US TO PROMOTE IT FROM US AS WELL AS AN RIGHT.
I THINK THEY, THE PROMOTION AND EVERYTHING WILL COME FROM THIS THEN, BUT I DON'T GET THE IMPRESSION THAT WE'RE INVOLVED IN TOO MUCH OTHER THAN GUIDANCE AND GUIDANCE.
AND I THINK THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, HEY, IT'S, UM, HERE'S THIS DEADLINE, LET'S
[00:30:01]
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THAT OUT.UM, THAT FLYER MAYBE HAS TOO MUCH INFORMATION ON IT.
CUZ YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DOING IT AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.
I DON'T THINK FOR WHAT TOO MUCH REVENUE.
I THINK SOME OF OUR, UM, ADVERTISING REVENUES OR AVENUES CAN'T HELP OTHERS.
YOU KNOW, WE CAN HELP SHARE SOME OF THAT.
WOULD WE WANNA LOOK INTO WHO WANTS TO BE THE LIAISON? CAN WE GO AHEAD AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THAT, BUT I HAVE NO BACKGROUND IN DOING LIKE FACEBOOK AND THE ADVERTISING THAT PART OF IT.
BUT I CAN, I CAN DEFINITELY COME UP WITH A TIMELINE, HELP THEM WITH DECORATIONS, HELP THEM WITH SOMETHING, THAT KIND OF THING.
SOMETHING I THINK WE NEED TO KIND OF CHECK INTO A LITTLE BIT.
THIS INVOLVES A GROUP THAT IS MORE THAN JUST HUBER HEIGHTS AND, UM, I JUST, I QUESTION COMES TO MIND AS EXACTLY WHAT ARE WE ABLE TO DO FOR 'EM, SINCE IT'S NOT AN EXCLUSIVELY HUBER HEIGHTS AREA THAT'S NOT GONNA HAVE SOMEBODY SCREAMING AT SOME POINT THAT WE'RE SPONSORING SOMETHING THAT GOES OUTSIDE OF THE HUBER HEIGHTS AREA WITH HUBER HEIGHTS TAX MONEY AND WELL, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE CAREFUL.
WE'RE NOT SPONSORING IT, WE'RE GUIDING THEM.
WE'RE, UM, KIND OF GIVEN THEM SOME OF OUR EXPERTISE OF HOW WE'VE DONE EVENTS.
SO I FEEL LIKE IT'S A TRAINING AND I HATE TO USE THAT WORD MM-HMM.
SHADOWING WITH THEM AND FOR HER TO BE STEPPING UP FOR THAT.
I MEAN, THAT'S A BIG PROJECT THAT IS.
AND I DON'T MEAN FOR IT TO BE JUST YOU, CHERYL.
I THINK THERE COULD BE A COUPLE OF YOU, BUT THEN CHERYL YOU WOULD BE THE CONTACT.
SO IF SOMEONE SAYS, HEY CHERYL, THIS FACEBOOK PAGE NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE THIS, YOU CAN THEN RELAY THAT TOO TO SOMEONE THAT CAN ACTUALLY DO THAT.
AND THAT'S WHAT PARTNERING IS.
THAT YOU PARTNER WITH US AND, AND IT IS AN EVENT THAT IS OCCURRING IN CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS.
REGARDLESS OF WHO IS IN OUR, AND GREG, I FELT THE SAME THING YOU DID THAT.
UM, WE DON'T NORMALLY DO THINGS OUTSIDE OF RESIDENTS, OUTSIDE OF HUBER HEIGHTS, BUT THAT IT IS THEIR EVENT.
SO, UM, WE'RE JUST PROVIDING US, THEY'RE RUNNING A SPACE FROM US, BASICALLY.
WELL, I JUST IN THE, FOR THE SAKE OF TRANSPARENCY SURE, SURE.
MAKE SURE WE HAVE OUR TS CROSSED AND OUR I'S GOT IT.
SO DO WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION ON IF WE WANT TO BE GUIDANCE MM-HMM.
WE ASSIST THEM WITH THE GUIDANCE IN THE, IN THE ART SHOW.
SHOULD WE PUT AN AMENDMENT IN THERE THAT'S SUBJECT TO OUR, HOW SHOULD I PUT IT? OUR LEGAL ABILITY TO DO THAT? OR, UM, OKAY.
SO AGAIN, WE ARE NOT, WE'RE NOT SPONSORING THAT.
WE'RE NOT GIVING MONEY AND WE ARE NOT SPONSORING.
WE'RE JUST GOING TO HELP THEM.
AND I, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
I THINK THAT THAT'S A WONDERFUL THING FOR US TO SHARE OUR KNOWLEDGE.
WELL, I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU THERE.
I MEAN, I, THEY WOULD LIKE TO HELP, BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE WELL, I THINK IF THEY COME BACK AND ASK SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, ANYBODY'S NOT SURE OF, WILL YOU BRING IT BACK? BRING IT BACK TO THE, YOU TAKE IT TO THE LEGAL, WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE.
BUT I, I THINK IT SOUNDS LIKE JUST HELPING THEM.
SO WE'RE GONNA TAKE A, TAKE A ROLE ON, UH, THE MOTION THAT'S BEEN MADE TO HELP, UH, HELP THEM WITH THEIR EVENT.
SO IN THE MEANTIME I CAN RUN THAT BY STAFF AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO ISSUES.
CHERYL WILL PUT IT THAT, UM, OKAY.
I'LL NEED TO GET KEGAN'S, UM, CONTACT INFORMATION I GOT.
UM, I CAN HELP WITH THAT IF YOU WANT SOME HELP, CHERYL.
SOUNDS WE HAVE A CONVENIENT, YEAH.
HEY, AND I THINK RIGHT NOW, AT THIS POINT YOU CAN JUST KIND OF TOUCH BASE WITH THEM BEFORE JANUARY GETS HERE.
UM, SEE HOW THINGS ARE MOVING.
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GONNA NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY WANT, WHAT INFORMATION THEY WANT TO GO OUT THERE.
YOU CAN SHOW 'EM WHAT INFORMATION WE PUT OUT AND JUST TO KIND OF MAKE SURE THAT THEY KIND OF GET THAT OUT IN JANUARY.
AND THEN I'LL MAKE SURE, UM, THAT DATE
[00:35:01]
IS AVAILABLE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.DO YOU KNOW IF THEY'RE COULD BE HAVING A MEETING BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR? SO ONE OF US GONNA ATTEND.
DIDN'T WE DIDN'T ASK HIM THAT? DID WE JUST TO JOIN IN WHEN OF THEIR MEETINGS TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE? WELL, WHEN HE WAS HERE THE LAST TIME I SAID, HE SAID THAT THEY WERE, THEY HAD WEEKLY MEETINGS.
SO I JUST NEED TO GET AHOLD OF HIM AND FIND OUT A MEETING MAYBE IN DECEMBER.
IT'S, THEY HAVE IT IN DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES.
SO CHERYL WILL REACH OUT, I'LL REACH OUT TO HIM AGAIN AND, AND SAY WE ARE GOING TO GIVE HIM GUIDANCE AND WHO YEAH.
AND ASK THAT I WANT MEET WITH, COME TO ONE OF THEIR MEETINGS IN DECEMBER.
UM, SO OUR NEXT AGENDA IS THE SUMMER MOVIE SERIES.
UH, JUST DISCUSSING HOW IT WENT IN GENERAL THIS YEAR.
WHAT DID YOU GUYS THINK WE NEEDED? HOW IT WENT FOR YOU, WHAT CAN WE DO BETTER? I WAS ONLY THERE FOR A SHORT TIME.
I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY NICE, BUT IT DID KIND OF THROW US OFF HAVING THE WAY THEY HAD IT SET UP THIS YEAR.
I GUESS WE NEED TO NEXT YEAR MAKE SURE WE, WE GET ALL OF OUR DUCKS IN A ROW.
KNOW, KNOW HOW, HOW THEY'RE GONNA USE THE SPACE BECAUSE I, I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED.
WE WERE, WE WERE KIND OF OUT OF THE STREAM AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WEREN'T THERE BEFORE, THE CAR SHOW WAS ALWAYS ON THE SIDE.
THEY SAW US IN THAT V I P AREA.
SO IF IT WAS SOMEBODY WHO DIDN'T KNOW, THEY'D BE LIKE, OH, WHAT'S GOING ON OVER HERE? OH, A MOVIE, LET'S STAY.
BUT I, I DON'T THINK MOST OF OUR CROWD COMES FROM THAT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN THERE ALL DAY.
I THINK IT'S GETTING THAT WORD OUT THAT WE ARE HAVING THAT MOVIE THAT NIGHT IN THAT PLACE.
AND SO PEOPLE COME AND GO, WHERE IS IT? BECAUSE ALL OF THIS STUFF HAPPENED UP FRONT THIS YEAR AND WE'RE BACK IN THE BACK.
SO WE WANNA WORK A LOT OF THOSE DETAILS OUT BETTER NEXT YEAR.
WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN, UM, AT THE MERCY OF THE ROSE AND THERE'S ALREADY BEEN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW THAT NEEDS TO BE DIFFERENT.
UM, THAT WE'LL HAVE MORE OF A SAY NEXT YEAR, NOT JUST AT THE LAST MINUTE, HEY, THROW YOUR STUFF TOGETHER HERE.
UM, STILL WE HAD AN ATTENDANCE OF ABOUT 87 TO 90.
AND SOME OF THE ONES AT THE IEL BERGER, WE ONLY HAD LIKE 120, SO WE WEREN'T THAT FAR OFF THE MARK MM-HMM.
AND THE ROSE IS LIKE A REFRIGERATOR WHEN IT GETS COLD.
I DO LIKE THE LITTLE EXTRA THINGS THAT WE DO.
I THINK THE PEOPLE WHO COME ENJOY THAT, UM, GIVEN THE PUMPKINS AWAY, HAVING THE, THE PEOPLE IN THE UH, COSTUMES WERE WONDERFUL.
SO, UM, BUT HOPEFULLY ON THAT PARTICULAR ONE WE CAN GET DETAILS LOCKED DOWN BETTER AND HAVE IT BE A LITTLE MORE SMOOTH SO THAT WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE MAKING IT WORTHWHILE.
AND WE DEFINITELY NEED TO GET THE CAR SHOW MOVED BACK OVER TO THE EAST PARKING LOT.
THAT JUST, THAT'S WESTERN PARKING LOT.
I DON'T, I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY, I, I HEARD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DECIDED TO DO IT.
WELL THE STORY THAT I HEARD WAS THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A BIGGER CROWD THAN THEY DID.
NOW AGAIN, I SHOULD, I SHOULD SAY RUMOR THAT I HEARD, I KNOW AN UNDERSCORE RUMOR AND LIKE I SAY, I HEARD SOMETHING TO DO AT THE HOTEL AND PEOPLE AT THE HOTEL.
BUT WE, WE NEED TO LOOK AT IT CUZ IT DIDN'T GO, UM, AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BECAUSE THAT WOULD DO WELL FOR THE HOTEL.
I MEAN, PEOPLE LOOK OUT THEIR WINDOWS, THEY SEE ALL THESE CARS OUT THERE, THEY'D COME DOWN.
PLUS IF THE HOTEL WOULD WORK FOR WITH US, THE HOTEL MIGHT GET A FEW EXTRA ROOMS IN OR A FEW EXTRA BOOKINGS THAT GET, AND THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING I GUESS WE, WE OR THE, THE CAR SHOW PROMOTER NEED TO REACH OUT TO THE HOTEL NEXT YEAR.
AND YEAH, WE NEED TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE SAY IN WHAT'S HAPPENING.
UM, I JUST KIND OF FEEL LIKE WE WERE CAUGHT OFF GUARD AND NEXT YEAR FOCUS, FOCUS TWO WILL BE AVAILABLE.
THAT'S, THAT WAS ANOTHER THING.
I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS WAS A, UM, THE SEQUEL TO THE ORIGINAL MOVIE.
I THOUGHT WE WERE SHOWING THE ORIGINAL MOVIE.
OH IT WAS? OH, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
HECK, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ORIGINAL.
[00:40:01]
GONNA SAY THAT WAS A MISTAKE IN GETTING THE MOVIE THEN BECAUSE WE ADVERTISED AND WE ADVERTISED LEASING OF MILICENT.SO I'M EXPECTING, YOU KNOW, TO SHOW THE, THE BABY AND THE, THE CRADLE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I MEAN YOU GOT MELISSA SAID WALKING ALONG WITH TWO ADULTS AND I'M LIKE, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? OH YEAH.
I DIDN'T, I WELL I WASN'T THERE FOR THE MOVIE SO I DIDN'T GET TO SEE THEM.
SO THE REST OF THE MOVIE SEASON WE HAD, UM, IT WAS ALWAYS THE THIRD FRIDAY AND WE KIND OF THOUGHT THAT WAS GONNA WORK AGAIN.
I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THE DATES LAST MONTH.
UM, AND I DO THINK JOSH EVEN MENTIONED THAT HE THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA LOCK DOWN HIS CONCERTS FOR SATURDAY THIS NEXT YEAR CUZ HE HAD 'EM GOING BACK AND FORTH AND RIGHT, RIGHT.
I THINK THIS KIND OF MAKES, UM, JUST A LITTLE MORE, I THINK IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
THERE'S JUST SOME STRUCTURE TO IT.
PEOPLE WILL GET TO KNOW THAT THAT'S THAT THIRD, THIRD FRIDAY.
ANYONE HAVE MOVIE IDEAS? I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE TO LOCK THAT DOWN THIS MINUTE, BUT SHE'S, THAT'S ONLY WHAT I GOT
I'VE WRITTEN THAT DOWN FOR OCTOBER.
AND I, I KEEP SAYING I THINK WE OUGHT TO WHERE WE HAVE THE LATE START MOVIES, PERHAPS MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T GO WITH SUCH A JUVENILE MOVIE BECAUSE WE'RE STARTING AT 10 O'CLOCK AND MAYBE IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD APPEAL TO MAYBE LATER GRADE SCHOOL, EARLY MIDDLE SCHOOL.
UM, BECAUSE THEY ARE STARTING AT 10 O'CLOCK AND THE, BUT IT IS IN THE SUMMER AND OUR ATTENDANCE HAS BEEN GREAT.
OUR ATTENDANCE HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD.
IT GOOD, YOU KNOW, I MEAN SOME OF THESE KIDS, THEY'RE, AND IT'S KIDS, SOME OF THE YOUNGER KIDS THAT THE MOVIES ARE AIMED AT, THEY'RE KIND OF ON A SUGAR HIGH AT 10 O'CLOCK WHEN
THEY'RE NOT WATCHING A MOVIE ANYMORE.
I WAS TRYING TO THINK, WE HAD PAUL PATROL, UM, WE HAD A LIST LAST, LAST MONTH.
PAW PATROL WAS WELL ATTENDED VERY WELL.
AND THOSE KIDS REALLY LIKED THAT.
I MEAN, AND IT, BUT CANTO GOT A LITTLE, WELL I THINK THAT WAS CUZ THE RAIN.
BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO CAME, THEY JUST LEFT CUZ THE RAIN, WHAT WAS OUR BIGGEST, IT WAS PATROL TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES TOO, WHICH MM-HMM.
I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DO ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT DOESN'T GET, WELL, I MEAN IF THEY DIDN'T DO DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME, THAT WOULD SAY JUST, BUT
OH NO, WE'RE REALLY ELIMINATING THAT MANY KIDS.
I MEAN, IF YOU ARE DOING A 10 O'CLOCK START TIME, I MEAN IF THEY'RE, I DON'T KNOW THAT'S WHO COMES.
I DON'T RECALL STARTING AT 10, 10, IT WAS LIKE NINE, NINE USUALLY.
I GUESS MAYBE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE THAT LATE.
BUT NO, WE WERE STARTING USUALLY AROUND NINE IN THE EARLY SUMMER.
YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T YEAH, EARLY SUMMER.
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
THE JUNE JULY MOVIES AFTER NINE 30.
CLOSE TO MEAN, MAYBE WE SHOULD LOOK AT MAYBE DOING A SUPERHERO MOVIE.
YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE MARVEL AND THE DC WE'VE DONE SOME MARVEL MOVIES BEFORE, BUT YEAH, MAKE YOUR SUGGESTIONS.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, UM, THAT'S WHY SHE'S ASKING IRON, IRON MAN.
I MEAN THAT SEEMS TO FIT THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM.
THAT'S, THAT'S THE YOUNGER ONE.
MARVEL, I HATE TO USE THIS WORD, ADULT HUMOR, BUT, AND IT, BY THAT I MEAN IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOUNG CHILDREN AREN'T GOING TO GET.
IT'S, IT'S SORT OF LIKE THE WARNER BROTHERS CARTOONS.
UH, WHERE THEY WELL WE HAVE TO WATCH THE RATINGS.
I CAN'T SHOW AN AN R OUT IN THE FAMILY.
JUST SOME OF THE HUMOR IS SOMETHING THAT A YOUNG CHILD ISN'T GOING TO GET.
IT'S SORT OF LIKE HAVING NIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE WHERE ONE IS CALLED CIRRHOSIS OF LIVER SOLONA BEEF.
WELL, WELL THAT'S WHY SHE'S ASKING FOR SUGGESTIONS.
SO COME UP WITH YOUR LIST AND WE'LL, CAN WE DO PG 13? WE HAVE.
I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF A MARVEL MOVIE I THINK.
WHAT WAS THAT, CHERYL? WERE YOU WITH US WHEN WE HAD THAT MOVIE? UM, THE PEOPLE THAT WERE IN SPACE, IT WAS MORE OH,
IT WAS MORE OF WHAT OF, I CAN'T THINK OF THE NAME OF IT, BUT SPACE.
THEY LIKE GETTING THE PODS AND GO TO SLEEP WHILE THEY TRAVEL SPACE.
BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THIS PERSON'S POD SO THEY WOKE UP AND EVERYBODY ELSE IS ASLEEP IN THERE.
AND IT'S, IT'S NOT A MARVEL MOVIE, BUT IT'S ALONG THOSE LINES.
[00:45:01]
MOVIE, IS IT? NOPE.I DON'T THINK IT WAS THAT, BUT I KNOW EXACTLY THE MOVIE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
BUT I CAN'T THINK OF WHAT IT'S CALLED.
THE ONE WHERE HE DECIDED TO WAKE UP ONE OTHER PERSON AND HE WAKES UP ANOTHER PERSON KIND OF BECAME LIKE A OH, THAT'S THE CHRIS PRATT ONE.
SO, UM, SO WE'VE KIND OF, MY POINT IS WE'VE KIND OF GONE THAT WAY WITH IT BEING A MORE OF AN ADULT.
UM, I THINK AN IRON MAN IN SPIDER-MAN AND ALL THOSE KIDS YOU'RE GONNA TRY TO HAVE AT THAT, BUT FOR SOME REASON THAT DIDN'T WORK.
BUT, UM, OH IT JUST, PEOPLE, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF KIDS THERE, SO MM-HMM.
WELL, IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE EVENTS YOU COULD DO AROUND A MOVIE, IRON MAN WOULD BE A FUN ONE.
UM, THE OTHER ONE WOULD BE A STAR WARS KIDS WOULD LOVE TO DO LIGHT SABER TRAINING.
SO WE HAVE, UM, THERE'S BEEN A SUGGESTION OF AN INDIANA JONES MOVIE.
BECAUSE WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO DOES, UH, THE TRAINING WITH THE WHIP AND THE TRICKS AND THE, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE AND THAT WOULD EVEN BE GOOD AT THE ROSE CUZ THEY WOULD HAVE ALL THAT AREA THERE TO DO THAT.
OR THE IBERG, THEY WOULD HAVE THAT FLAT AREA TO DO ALL THAT.
SO KIND OF THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING AND COME BACK, LET'S SAY NEXT MONTH.
MONSTERS UNDER YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
YOU REMEMBER THAT? WELL, IT'S MONSTERS INC.
OH, IT'S NOT, OH, OKAY THEN I DON'T KNOW.
I'M AN OLDER ONE, SO YEAH, THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF, BUT LET'S COME BACK TO SOME IDEAS FOR NEXT MONTH THAT REALLY, YOU KNOW, DO SOME RESEARCH, COME UP WITH SOME, SOME DIFFERENT STUFF AND WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.
THEY DID GIVE US A LIST LAST MONTH SO THAT, UM, THE NEXT THING ON OUR AGENDA IS THE TITLE, UH, TITLE PROJECT THAT WE HAVE COMING UP IN NOVEMBER.
UM, AND I THINK THE UPDATE IS PEOPLE ARE SIGNING UP.
WE HAVE ABOUT 50 SIGNED UP SO FAR.
UH, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A HUNDRED.
SO I'M GONNA REACH OUT TO A COUPLE OTHER, LIKE A HOMESCHOOL GROUP AND UH, MAYBE A PRESCHOOL, COUPLE OF THOSE KIDS AND SEE IF THEY'D LIKE TO JOIN THE GIRL SCOUTS.
AND WHAT, WHAT DATE IN NOVEMBER IS THAT 15TH.
SO IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE HAVING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC OR NOT YET? DO YOU WANNA GO AHEAD AND OPEN IT? I CAN SEND YOU THE LINK.
SO YOU HAVE 50 GIRL SCOUTS AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR 50 MORE.
SO IF WE OPEN THAT, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT ARE WE TARGETING? WHAT ARE WE, UM, I WAS JUST THINKING KIDS, RIGHT? UM, SO I DON'T WANNA JUST PUT THAT OUT THERE.
UM, DO YOU THINK WITH THE AREAS THAT YOU HAVE TO REACH OUT TO THAT YOU WOULD GET 50 MORE? I THINK SO.
SO WHY DON'T WE JUST LEAVE THAT THEN.
IT'S KIND OF A, KIND OF A CLOSED THING, BUT, UM OKAY.
I CAN EVEN REACH OUT TO THE YOUNG MARINES AND SEE IF ANY OF THIS YES.
SO WE HAD ALL THE TILES TAKEN DOWN TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER BECAUSE THEY WERE HERE.
WE TALKED ABOUT REFRESHMENTS, BUT WE WEREN'T DOING ANYTHING CRAZY.
YEAH, I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA BRING WATER UNLESS YOU GUYS WANT SOMETHING ELSE.
THAT'S THE ONLY THING I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD WITHIN PAINTING.
HOW AND HOW LONG IS THE EVENT? IT'S LIKE TWO HOURS.
SIX TO EIGHT IS WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN.
YOU HAVE WATER OR YOU NEED TO BUY WATER.
IF YOU HAD TOO MANY PEOPLE AND YEAH.
THEN AND THEY NEED HELP, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH HELP
BUT WE DID HAVE A COUPLE OF YOU SAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO BE THERE TO KIND OF OVERSEE AND HELP.
AND ONE PARTICULAR GIRL SCOUT GROUP, THEY'RE NOT REALLY PARTICIPATING.
THEY, THEY'RE LEADING IT FOR OTHERS.
AGAIN, WHAT WAS OUR DATE FOR THAT? NOVEMBER 15, I BELIEVE IT'S A TWO, SIX TO EIGHT.
SO WITH THAT, DO YOU EXPECT ALL OF US TO BE THERE OR DID WE TALK ABOUT THAT? WE DO TALK ABOUT THAT.
THERE WERE JUST, JUST SOME VOLUME TO THE ASSISTANCE IF THEY NEEDED HELP.
SO HE CAN MAKE IT SAY HI, HERE IT IS.
[00:50:04]
OH, DO WE HAVE IT IN THE MINUTES HERE? YEAH, I MEAN IT'S JUST, JUST EVERYTHING WE TALKED ABOUT.OKAY, SO AGAIN, I WANNA LOOK AT THE 15TH.
IT IS WHAT DAY? I HAVE A TUESDAY, ISN'T IT? I THINK IT'S A TUESDAY.
OKAY, SO OUR MEETING IS THE 21ST, SO I THINK THAT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S ON TRACK.
THAT'S NOT UM, TOO CUMBERSOME PROJECT.
IT'S JUST KIND OF A SMALLER THING, BUT I THINK AGAIN IT'S REACHING OUT AND HELPING THE GIRL SCOUTS DO SOMETHING.
NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS LIGHTS IN THE HEIGHTS.
OKAY, SO LIGHTS IN THE HEIGHTS.
SO HERE AT CITY HALL WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, UM, WHAT DO I GOT HERE? NOPE, I UNDERSTAND.
WHAT DO YOU GOT FOR? I HAVE HERE? YES.
SO WE'RE GONNA PUT A FORM ON THE WEBSITE THAT PEOPLE CAN JUST GO AND FILL OUT THE FORM INSTEAD OF EMAILING THAT EMAIL ADDRESS AND THEN YOU HAVING TO PUT IT ON A LIST.
WE'RE GONNA DO A FORM ON THE WEBSITE THAT THEY JUST FILL IN AND SUBMIT AT THAT TIME.
AND THEN THAT PULLS IT ALL TOGETHER, WHICH WE CAN MAKE THE MAP OUT OF GOOD.
SO, UM, THAT KEEPS ANYBODY FROM HAVING TO TRACK ALL OF THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'VE GOT THE ADDRESSES.
THEY'RE GONNA BE RIGHT THERE ON THAT WEBSITE.
SO, UM, NOVEMBER 1ST IS WHEN THAT IS GONNA GO OUT ON THE UH, FACEBOOK AND PROBABLY, UM, ON THE BIG BOARD.
WILL THERE BE A DEADLINE? YES.
AND ALL THOSE DATES ARE ALREADY WRITTEN IN A THING AND I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME, BUT IT DOES STATE IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE, LET US KNOW BY THIS DATE.
YOU HAVE TO BE DECORATED BY THIS DATE.
SO THAT'LL ALL BE IN THERE GIVING EVERYONE ALL THAT INFORMATION.
AND AGAIN, IT'S JUST TO PROVIDE A LIST OF HOMES FOR PEOPLE TO GO LOOK AT THE NO KIND OF CONTEST.
SO THE HOSPITALITY 10, I KNOW I'VE BEEN CALLING SOME PLACES, I HAVE SOME PEOPLE ON THE MAP FOR DATES.
I HAVE ABOUT, UH, 10 PEOPLE SO FAR CONFIRMED.
UM, QUINN HAVE HAVE, DO YOU HAVE ANY, I KNOW THAT WAS SOMETHING WE WERE GONNA DO.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD REACHED OUT TO ANYONE YET AS FAR AS
THE HOSPITALITY TI THAT WE UM, FOR PEOPLE FOR LIGHTS NIGHTS GO OUT, WHO'S GONNA, UM, MAKE SURE THEY HAVE HOT CHOP AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSES REACHED OUT OR NO, I HAVEN'T.
SO IF WE HAVE 10 AND THEY'RE SEPARATED, YOU DON'T HAVE ALL 10 ON ONE DATE? NO.
UM, YOU DON'T WANNA HAVE TOO MANY TOO.
IT GETS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF OUTTA HAND.
TO KIND OF, YOU SAID ABOUT WATCH THREE OR FOUR YEAH.
A NIGHT AND YOU'LL HAVE PEOPLE WEEKEND.
WEEKEND WE'LL HAVE, LIKE WITH LAST YEAR WAS ANY INDICATION YOU'LL HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE, YOU'LL SEE SOMEBODY ELSE DO IT AND THEY'LL JUST PUT IT UP WITHOUT RIGHT.
WITHOUT MAKING IT KNOWN THAT THEY HAVE IT UP.
AND SO THAT'S, I MEAN THAT'S NICE TOO AND THAT'S WELCOME.
BUT UM, YEAH, SO YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT MANY MORE.
AND THEN, UM, WE WILL ADD ON THE LIST THOSE HOMES AND WE'LL PUT SOME KIND OF SYMBOL BESIDE 'EM SHOWING THAT THEY'RE A HOSPITALITY TENT.
IS THAT GONNA BE A PART OF THEIR SIGNUP FORM OR IS IT ON THE SIGNUP FORM? DO YOU WANT TO BE A HOSPITALITY TO I'VE BEEN JUST BEEN CONTACTING PEOPLE I KNOW THAT HAVE BUSINESSES OR HOMES.
UM, THAT PROBABLY MAKES THE MOST SENSE CUZ WE PROBABLY HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD JUST SAY YES AND THEN MAYBE NOT DO IT.
SO YOU'LL KEEP UP THAT LIST AND LET US HAVE IT.
I'LL SEND IT ALL TO YOU GUYS TOMORROW OR WHAT I HAVE SO FAR ARE THESE JUST RESIDENCES SHARING? SOME ARE BUSINESSES, SOME ARE HOME, SOME ARE CHURCHES, SOME ARE SCHOOLS.
SO I THOUGHT WE'VE, IF I RUNNING DID, OH, I'M SORRY.
NOT THAT WE WERE GONNA WAIT FOR THEM TO ACTUALLY SAY THEY'RE GOING TO BE A PART OF IT AND THEN WE WOULD ASK IF THEY WERE GONNA BE THE HOSPITALITY TECH.
OH, DID THEY DO THOUGHT WE SHOULD ASK PRIOR? YEAH.
YEAH, WE WANNA GET AHEAD OF THAT GAME A LITTLE BIT.
[00:55:02]
MAYBE A CHANCE, SHANNON TO REACH OUT TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, SEE IF THEY HAVE ANYBODY THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY BE INTERESTED IN I HAVE NOT.UM, I HAVE NOT AND I, I, DO YOU KNOW ANYONE THERE? NOT THE, I UM, THE ONLY PERSON I KNOW THAT'S ACTIVE IN IT IS CINDY AND SCOTT DAVIDSON.
NOW THAT MARK RUNS IS LEFT THE ORGANIZATIONS I'VE, I'VE GOT A FEW PEOPLE I CAN REACH OUT TO JAMIE AND SEE IF SHE'LL PUT SOMETHING IN.
WOULD IT BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IF MYSELF EVELYN'S GONNA HELP? IF, WHAT? WOULD IT BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IF I DECIDE THAT? NO, NOT AT ALL.
CAUSE WE WANT YOU GUYS TO PARTICIPATE IF YOU WANT, IF YOU WANT TO DO YOUR HOMES AND BE ON THE LIST, THAT'S GREAT.
I JUST FOUND OUT YESTERDAY MY HOUSE IS NOT IN THE PLACE FOR YOU.
I DIDN'T REMEMBER VOLUNTEERING
OH, DO WE HAVE TO DO ANY OTHER PLANNING FOR LIGHTS AND HEIGHTS? THAT'S IT.
WE JUST, WE'RE GONNA, WE'LL PUT THAT OUT THERE AND PEOPLE START SIGNING UP AND THEN THAT LIST GOES OUT AND THAT'S IT.
THAT'S FOR THE RESIDENTS TO DO AND THEY SEEM TO DO A GREAT JOB AT IT, SO.
SO OUR NEXT AGENDA IS THE TREE LIGHTING DECEMBER 3RD, SIX TO EIGHT AT THE EEL BERGER THEATER.
UM, DID YOU FROST? I'M SORRY, IT'S FIVE TO SEVEN.
WHAT AM I HOPING WE HAVE TO GET THERE AT FOUR OR EARLIER? I'VE GOT FOUR OF MINE.
WE ARRIVE AT FOUR AND WE STILL, THERE ARE STILL WRAPPED GIFTS AND STUFF DOWN IN THE, UM, AMPH THEATER STORAGE WITH THE THRONE.
UM, SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE AMPHITHEATER AND OVER HERE ARE THE BIG TALL TREES.
WE COULD PUT UP THE CITY TENT, BRING SANTA'S CHAIR DOWN, DECORATE THAT AREA IN SANTA'S THERE BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME PERFORMANCES ON THE STAGE.
THAT WAY NOBODY'S GONNA FALL OFF THE STAGE.
UM, SO THE SCOTTISH DANCERS THAT WERE AT THE ME FESTIVAL, THEY ARE GOING TO DANCE HOPEFULLY FOR A HALF AN HOUR, PROBABLY, UM, FIVE 30 TO SIX.
GREG, HOW ARE WE WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL? YEAH, SHE'S GOT A GROUP OF KIDS THAT ARE INTERESTED.
THEY JUST HAVE NOT DECIDED WHAT THEY'RE WANTING TO DO.
SO THE CORAL GROUP OR, OR WE DON'T KNOW YET.
SOMEBODY, ONE OF, ONE OF 'EM HAD A INTEREST IN DOING A DRAMATIC READING OF THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS OR ONE OR TWO OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO I THOUGHT THEY WANTED TO GO THAT ROUTE.
THAT WOULD FIT IN VERY NICELY.
SO ALSO A COUPLE OF OTHER CHRISTMAS THING THINGS THAT, UM, I MEAN, I DUNNO WHETHER SOMEBODY, HOW THAT WOULD WORK.
IS SOMEBODY GOING TO GET UP AND READ THE DR.
SEUSS? THE BRIDGE WAS STOLE CHRISTMAS AND WELL, WE'RE GONNA KEEP IT TO THE TWO GROUPS BECAUSE THE DANCERS ARE GONNA DO A HALF HOUR AND WE WOULD LET THE HIGH SCHOOL DO THAT.
NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS DOING THAT.
SO THEY GET A HALF HOUR TO DO WHATEVER MIX AND MATCH.
UM, BECAUSE, UH, THE MAYOR WOULD DO THE WELCOME AND THE LIGHTING OF THE TREE.
THAT ALWAYS TAKES A FEW MINUTES AND YOU GOT PEOPLE WITH SANTA.
SO I THINK AN AN HOUR OF STUFF ON THE STAGE, A FEW MINUTES IN BETWEEN.
I THINK THAT THAT'S GOOD TIMING.
UM, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE HAY RIDES CORRECT.
THEY'RE SET NOW THE THING IS, IF WE GET SLAMMED, LIKE WE DID THIS IN 21 AND THAT COULD GO THE WHOLE TIME PERIOD WITH PEOPLE JUST STANDING IN LINE TO SUSAN SANTA CLAUS.
SO, BUT THAT WAS NICE WEATHER TOO.
BUT IF, IF THEY'RE STANDING IN LINE, THEY CAN ENJOY THE DANCERS OR THEY CAN ENJOY THE MUSIC IF, OR WHATEVER'S GOING ON IN WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN ENJOY THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE DOWN HERE WHILE THAT'S HAPPENING ON THE STAGE.
SO I, I I THINK THAT WOULD WORK.
WE HAVE, BUT WE CAN DO IT OFF THE ONE SIDE OR RIGHT.
DEAD CENTER WHILE WE GET PEOPLE TO LOOK, WELL, THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.
SHE'S GONNA PUT THE TENT UP OFF OF THE STAGE.
AND SO THERE'LL BE THREE STATIONS THAT WILL, UM, KIND OF TAKE THE CROWD IN DIFFERENT PLACES.
I, I DO LOVE HAVING SANTA OFF AT
[01:00:01]
THE STAGE THIS TIME BECAUSE THAT WAS VERY PRECARIOUS.AND IT TOOK A LOT OF EXTRA TIME TO GET KIDS OFF AND BACK UP AND POSITIONED.
THIS WAY WE CAN JUST SET LINE CAN BE A, YEAH.
SO WHAT WOULD, WHAT DID YOU END UP DECIDING WITH THE BOOKS? ARE THEY BEING WRAPPED OR ARE THEY JUST BEING HANDED OUT? UM, MY, MY FEELING WOULD BE TO JUST HAND THEM OUT.
I I THOUGHT, WAS IT CINDY? SHE THAT HAD A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT SHE HAD TO WRAP THEM THAT WAS GONNA WRAP I THINK OUR HOMESCHOOL GROUP.
I THOUGHT WE TALKED ABOUT WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST TIME.
AND SO YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING TO WRAP? YES.
MY, SO WE'VE GOT TO GET THE BOOKS TO YOU IN TIME FOR THAT BAG.
LAURA, WERE YOU ABLE TO GET MORE INFORMATION? YES.
UM, I'VE BEEN MESSAGING WITH PAM FROM DOLLAR SWAP AND LET HER KNOW THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR AT LEAST A HUNDRED MORE.
SO I'M JUST WAITING FOR HER TO CONFIRM WHEN SHE CAN GET THOSE TO ME AND MAKE SURE SHE CAN GET THAT NUMBER.
UM, BUT I'LL BE IN CONTACT WITH YOU, SHANNON, TO GET THOSE TO YOU.
AND THEN CINDY SAID SHE WOULD GET THE GROUP THAT THE BOOKS THAT SHE HAS, SHE WOULD GET HAIR TO US FOR YOU ALSO.
WHERE ARE WE WITH THAT? I'M HOT.
I'M DOING HOT CHOCOLATE, SO THAT'S, I'LL, I'LL GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF.
I DID NOT, I DON'T THINK VOLUNTEER FOR ANYTHING ELSE, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY LOOK INTO GET COOKIES OR SOMETHING FROM UH, KICK POPS.
WE ARE GOING TOS BRING THEM THAT'S RIGHT FROM STARBUCKS.
SO ALL OF THIS SOUNDS LIKE IT'S IRONED OUT.
WE KNOW THE SCHOOL'S GONNA DO SOMETHING BUT WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS.
CAN YOU GET ME HER INFORMATION SO THAT I CAN TELL HER TIMES AND THAT KIND OF STUFF I CAN GET WITH HER AND MAKE SURE SHE KNOWS THAT.
UM, THE LUMINEERS, HAVE YOU GOT THE BAGS? DO I NEED TO GET THE BAGS? I GOT THE BAGS.
THEY'RE BEING DELIVERED THIS WEEK FOR KIDS TO DECORATE.
THEY KNOW NOT TO PUT THEIR NAME ON IT AND THEN I'LL BRING 'EM.
I GOT 50 BAGS, WHITE BAGS FOR YOU.
AND YOU, YOU ALREADY GOT THE CANDLES.
DID YOU WANT MORE? I CAN, I GOT MORE.
DO WE NEED MORE? WHAT ARE, WHAT ARE THEY, WHAT ARE WE, WE'RE JUST GONNA PUT 'EM DOWN THE WALKWAY TO LIKE SANTA.
SO YOU PUT THIS LITTLE BATTERY OPERATED CANDLE DOWN IN A WHITE LUNCH BAG AND SO IT GLOWS AND IT JUST KIND OF LIGHTS THE WALKWAY.
THAT WE COULD PUT 'EM ALONG THE BENCHES, THE CONCRETE BENCHES TO KIND OF HELP LIGHT UP THAT WHOLE AREA.
I HAVE ENOUGH KIDS TO DO 150
I MEAN IN THE GROUPS THAT WE HAVE.
I I THINK 50 IS PROBABLY SUFFICIENT.
YEAH, BECAUSE THEN WE'VE STILL GOTTA GO BACK, COLLECT 'EM, DUMP THE SEED, YOU KNOW, PUT 'EM AWAY.
SO 50 CUZ YEAH, I MEAN IF WE GET 150, THAT MEANS WE GOTTA PLAY A HUNDRED.
UM, SO THE SANTA A TENT GOT HIM JUMPING AROUND HERE.
UM, IF YOU WANTED TO BRING A STRING OF LIGHTS THAT COULD BE UP INTO THE TOP OF THAT TENT.
THAT BECAUSE YEAH, IT'S NOT GONNA BE LEFT.
I'M NOT SURE THERE'S ANY POWER OVER THERE, BUT WE COULD HAVE BATTERY OPERATED LIGHTS UP IN THERE.
YEAH, WE'RE OFF TO WHICH SIDE DID YOU WANT TO PUT THE, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE AMPHITHEATER, IT'S OFF TO YOUR LEFT BECAUSE HERE'S THE PARKING LOT OUT HERE AND THE WAGON RIDES ARE GOING ON.
ARE WE GONNA PUT HIM IN THE GRASS OR DOWN ON IN FRONT OF THE EMPATHY? DOWN ON THE CONCRETE.
IT WOULDN'T, THERE IS POWER DOWN THERE.
SO THERE'S IT IS DOWN THERE SOMEWHERE.
WELL, WE'LL TRY NOT TO PUT ANYTHING TOO HEAVY DUTY ON IT, BUT YEAH, LIKE A STRING OF LIKE WHITE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS OR SOMETHING THEN IT'D PROBABLY BE PLENTY.
I MEAN, UM, IF YOU WANNA PUT THE WRAPPED PACKAGES OUT, IF YOU WANNA BRING AN ARTIFICIAL TREE.
LIKE I SAID, I'LL LOOK, I'LL BE THERE SATURDAY FOR THE MARKET.
I'LL LOOK AND SEE WHAT THE PACK, MAKE SURE THE PACKAGES ARE IN DECENT SHAPE, SEE WHAT KIND OF SHAPE THEY'RE, THEY'RE STACK BACK THERE.
THEN I CAN GET SOME BIGGER BOXES AND BECAUSE IF WE HAVE THE TENT, WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE AS MUCH SPACE TO FILL AS WE DID UP ON THE STAGE.
SO ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO DO MAKE SURE WE HAVE GOOD DECORATIONS? YES.
AND THE AMPHITHEATER WILL HAVE THE LIGHTS ON IT LIKE WE ALWAYS DO.
ONE THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING THE TO THE LEFT, IT'S OPPOSITE SIDE FROM THE PARKING LOT.
WE CONCEIVABLY END UP HAVING A LINE THAT GOES IN FRONT OF THE STAGE, WHEREAS IF WE PUT 'EM TO THE, OR YOU COULD TAKE 'EM UP THE SIDEWALK SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ACROSS THE STAGE TO TAKE 'EM UP.
[01:05:01]
THAT WAY.THEN DO WHAT YOU MIGHT NEED LIGHT AT THE AREA OVER THAT WAY THEN.
WE PUT 'EM OVER SAY THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STAGE PLUS THE STAGE IS, BUT THAT'S WHERE THE CHRISTMAS TREE IS BEING LIT AND ALL THAT.
SO WE HAVE, WE HAVE DONE IT BEFORE ON THE LEFT, SO MM-HMM.
PICK WHAT YOU WANT TO DO THERE.
YEAH CUZ WE DON'T WANT THE LINE GOING OUT INTO THE PARKING LOT.
WE WANNA MAKE SURE IT'S NOT OUT THERE WHERE THE WAGON'S GOING AND EVERYTHING.
I I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY GONNA WORK.
AND THE STAGE IS GONNA BE LIT SO ALL OF YOU KNOW WE'LL HAVE THE LIGHT FROM THERE.
IT WON'T BE VERY, VERY BRIGHT.
DO YOU GUYS WANT THE HEATERS AGAIN THAT WE HAD? SURE.
AND ARE YOU WANTING SANTA TO GIVE OUT CANDY CANES? YEAH, SURE.
AND FANTA HANDING OUT THE BOOKS? WELL WE'VE ALWAYS HAD ELVES TO HAND OUT THE BOOKS BEFORE, SO I'M NOT SURE WHO'S GONNA BE DOING THAT.
I I WOULD LOVE TO REACH OUT TO ANDY AND GLENN AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT AND AND RICHARD ABOUT HOW THEY CAN PARTICIPATE IF THEY STILL WANT TO, IF THAT WOULD BE OKAY.
YES, EVERY, YEAH, I, WE HAD A GREAT IDEA LAST YEAR TO DO THIS, UH, CANDY CANE GLOW.
IT JUST, UNFORTUNATELY WE DID NOT EXPECT THAT BIG A CROWD TO COME.
WE DON'T, YEAH, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO DO THAT AGAIN CUZ WE THREW AWAY SO MANY OF THOSE BAGS.
NOBODY WENT OUT AND PICKED UP THOUGH.
WELL, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ANNOUNCE THAT HEY, AT CERTAIN POINT WE'RE GOING TO.
SO IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LIKE, OH MY GOD, THAT LINE JUST KEEPS GROWING AND YEAH.
SO, BUT NOW IT'S, I MEAN, IF SHE WOULD STILL WANT TO DO IT, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THROW IT OUT THERE.
SO DOES EVERYONE FEEL COMFORTABLE THEN WITH CHRISTMAS? YEAH.
CAN WE HAND THEM OUT TO THE SCHOOL AGAIN? DO THEY STILL DO THAT? I, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY HAVE US DO IS, UM, WE PROVIDE IT TO THEM DIGITALLY AND THEY SEND IT OUT IN THEIR DIGITAL NEWSLETTER THAT GOES HOME.
NOW THAT EVERYTHING'S, EVERYBODY'S DIGITIZED, RIGHT? WELL PRINT IT PAPER FLYER.
I MEAN MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT 50% OF THEM END UP LITTERED ALL OVER THE GROUNDS OF THE SCHOOL.
WELL THEY COME HOME IN THE, I HAVE A FIFTH GRADE DAUGHTER.
THEY COME HOME IN THE, IN THE FOLDERS.
SO PARENTS, I ALWAYS SEE THE FLYERS THAT SHE COMES HOME WITH FOR EVERYTHING.
IF THEY GET SENT TO THE SCHOOLS RIGHT.
FOR THE PRESCHOOL AND A COUPLE OTHER GROUPS.
I CAN GET A NUMBER IF THAT WOULD STILL BE OKAY.
SO OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALWAYS CHEAPER WHEN WE DO THIS SIZE BECAUSE YOU GET TWO TO A PAGE.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT? THAT'S, THAT'S WONDERFUL.
SO I WILL UM, TELL THEM WE NEED TO WORK UP A REAL FLYER THAT WE WANT AND YOU'LL TELL ME HOW MANY, I THINK IT'S A THOUSAND ISN'T UM, I, I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY ST.
PETE HAS, BUT I HAVE A HUNDRED IN ONE PRESCHOOL.
A HUNDRED AND IN THE OTHER, UM, I'M THINKING YOU WOULD USED TO PRINT A THOUSAND.
YEAH, WELL THAT WAS FOR IF WE DID THE SCHOOLS TOO.
AND YES, WE'VE MENTIONED FROSTY AND OF COURSE MRS. CLAUS WILL BE THERE ALSO.
SO THAT TENT WILL BE KIND OF FULL.
SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AS FROST DECORATED.
WE DON'T DO WE NEED TO KNOW WHO WILL BE THERE? WHO'S COMMITTING, WRITE THAT DOWN.
I THINK WE HAD A COMMITTEE FOR THAT ALREADY FOR DECEMBER 3RD CUZ I PUT THAT OUT ON IT.
I COULDN'T REMEMBER IF WE DID OR NOT.
YOU HAVE A COMMITTEE BE THERE TO BE THERE.
CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THAT LISTED AS TO WHO IT IS.
SO EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO'S COMING AND YES, I'LL HAVE THE, I'M ON A COMMITTEE FOR THAT.
OKAY, SO WE WANNA DO THAT ABOUT FOUR.
IT'S BETTER ABOUT BE THERE FOUR.
THE TREE LIGHTING AT FOUR AND I'M GONNA EXPERIMENT WITH HOT CHOCOLATE THE WEEK BEFORE BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR HISTORICAL SOCIETY TREE LIGHTING AND I'M DOING IT FOR THEM TOO.
SO WE'LL MAKE SURE WE GET GOOD HOT CHOCOLATE.
DID YOU TALK TO TIM HORTONS? MAYBE THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE BIG JUG.
OH, SOMETIMES THEY DONATE THAT.
[01:10:01]
AND IF YOU NEED IT, I HAVE BIG ORANGE JUGS.WELL THAT'S WHAT I HAVE WHAT SHE HAS.
TIM HORTON'S IN THE PAST HAS GIVEN US THEIR BIG HOT MM-HMM.
OH AND HOT CHOCOLATE AND CUPS.
AND THEN WE JUST TAKE THE DISPENSERS BACK TO THEM LIKE THE FOLLOWING DAY IN, IN THE LITTLE POOR THINGS.
IS THAT WHAT THEY DID YOU NO, IT'S A BIG HAMSTER THING, BUT MAYBE THEY DO IT DIFFERENTLY NOW.
BUT IF YOU'D REACH OUT TO THEM, THAT'D BE GREAT.
MY OLDEST GRANDSON WORKS THERE.
SOMETHING THAT WE EXPERIENCED AT THE OPTUMS CLUB LAST YEAR WAS THAT THEY CLOSED ABOUT MIDAFTERNOON.
WELL I MEAN I'M GONNA TALK TO THEM BEFORE THE DAY OF.
WELL IT WAS JUST THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO KEEP IT WARM FROM MIDAFTERNOON TO WELL IF I PUT IT INTO MY BIG CONTAINER IT'LL STAY HOT CUZ IT STAYS HOT.
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT.
MCDONALD'S IS ANOTHER ONE THAT HAS DONATED IT BEFORE.
IS THAT ALL WE HAVE FOR THE TREE LIGHTING? YEP.
WE CAN MOVE ON TO NEW BUSINESS.
I ALREADY HAVE A NOTE THAT, UH, WE HAVE NO NEW BUSINESS
UM, JUST TOUCHING BASE ON THE ART EXHIBITION.
UM, WE'VE ALREADY GOT IT OUT THERE THAT PEOPLE CAN SIGN UP, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY YET.
UM, WE HAVE THE DATE, WE HAVE THE SAME PLACE.
UM, I'LL GET WITH SARAH TO REACH OUT ABOUT THE, UM, SO THE FIRST SCHOLARSHIP THAT WE WERE GONNA OFFER, YOU KNOW, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
SO THAT SCHOLARSHIP IS SITTING THERE AT THE DAYTON FOUNDATION.
SO WE WOULD, WE WOULD LIKE TO MAYBE INCORPORATE THAT THIS YEAR AND GET THOSE SCHOOL COUNSELORS TO BE AWARE OF IT SO THAT THEY CAN PUSH THAT FOR SENIORS.
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE ART SHOW NEXT YEAR, FEBRUARY.
JUST BECAUSE IT'S GONNA COME AROUND REAL FAST AFTER CHRISTMAS.
SO I KNOW, KNOW, WE JUST WANT TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, UM, WE'LL START PUSHING THAT SIGNUPS AND THE FLYER, THAT KIND OF STUFF.
BUT THAT'S ANOTHER ONE NOW THAT YOU GUYS HAVE HAD TWO GOOD YEARS OF DOING THAT.
SO HOPEFULLY THE REPETITION OF IT MAKES IT BE A LITTLE EASIER AND KIND OF GETS THE FLOW GOING WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE IT IN THE PAST.
SO, UM, I THOUGHT LAST YEAR WAS A REALLY, REALLY GOOD SHOW.
COULD YOU SEND ME THE LINK, UM, WHERE PEOPLE SIGN UP AND I'LL SEND THAT LINK TO THE OLD ARTIST CUZ I HAVE ALL THEIR INFORMATION OKAY.
TO SIGN UP AND I STILL HAVE FLYERS FOR THAT ALSO, SO I'LL BE SURE TO HAVE THEM AT I UPCOMING EVENTS.
DO WE NEED TO PLAN FOR SNACK? I KNOW WE'VE HAD DIFFERENT KIND OF THINGS, CHERYL COOKIES, SO WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? LAST YEAR WE GOT CAUGHT OFF GUARD CUZ WE DID ASK SOMEONE AMERICA WAS GONNA DO 'EM AND THEN SHE BACKED OUT AT THE LAST MINUTE.
SO I THINK TO SHARE WITH COOKIES WENT WELL AND THEY'RE ALL INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED.
TRUE, BUT THEY'RE KIND OF PRICEY, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
WE'VE GOT THE BUDGET FOR AND THAT WORKS SOMETHING ELSE DIFFERENT.
IS THERE ANYBODY AT THE FARMER'S MARKET THAT WE COULD PROBABLY TAP FOR THAT? WELL THAT'S THE LAST YEAR WE ASKED AMERICA TO DO IT AND SHE BACKED OUT AT THE LAST MINUTE AND I THINK THIS YEAR, WELL, SHE CURRENTLY INJURED HERSELF AT WORK AND, UM, YEAH, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THIS YEAR SHE'S EXPECTING A BABY ABOUT THAT TIME.
YOU KNOW, SO I, I'LL THINK, PUT MY THINKING CAP ON.
I'LL BE, WE'VE GOT TWO MORE WEEKS OF THE MARKET AND I'LL THINK AS SEE IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE THAT MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE.
BUT, UM, YEAH, JUST PUT IT ON YOUR RADAR.
LOOK AROUND, SEE IF WE SEE ANYTHING BETTER.
DO THEY HAVE TO BE HUB HEIGHTS BUSINESSES? THAT, THAT'S GOOD.
WE'D LIKE TO PARTNER WITH THEM.
UM, BUT YEAH, IF YOU COULD COME WITH SOMETHING NEXT MONTH AND WE CAN, WHETHER IT'S AN IDEA THAT YOU HAVE OR SOMEONE THAT YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO, DID THEY, WOULD THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE? OR EVEN IF IT IS A PURCHASE, YOU KNOW, BRING
[01:15:01]
THAT BACK NEXT MONTH AND WE CAN KIND OF OKAY.KICK A BOAT ON THAT OR GET THAT LOCKED DOWN.
IF THAT'S ALL WE'LL GO TO ADDITIONAL BUSINESS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS.
WE DO HAVE A NEW MEMBER APPOINTED TOMORROW AT, THEY'LL BE APPOINTED TOMORROW AT TOMORROW'S, UH, COUNCIL MEETING.
SO, WE'LL, S K Y L E R IS THAT IT? OR L A R S K Y L A R.
AND SO HE'LL BE APPOINTED TOMORROW AND I'LL REACH OUT TO HIM AND HAVE HIM COME TO OUR NOVEMBER MEETING.
DOES THAT MAKE US FULL STAFF? RIGHT.
THE MEETING FOR OCTOBER 17TH, 2022.
ARE WE BEAUTIFICATION MINUTES? OH, DIDN'T THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING? THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING.
