UM, SO FROM A CITY STANDPOINT, UM, JUST TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT THE, UM, PARKS MANAGER POSITION WILL BE POSTED HOPEFULLY SOMETIME NEXT MONTH. UM, SO THAT PROCESS WILL GET STARTED AND, AND GO THROUGH THE HR PROCESS HERE AT THE CITY. UM, FOR THE MOST PART, UM, WE HAVE GONE THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT, UM, RELATED TO THE PARKS AND DIVIDED UP DUTIES. UM, SARAH AND MIKE AND KAI, WHO IS NEW TO THE TEAM, UM, IN THE ADMINISTRATION SIDE, HAVE ALL PICKED UP THINGS. UM, IT HASN'T REALLY CHANGED A WHOLE LOT FOR THE Y IN, IN THE CITY, BUT, UM, I HAVE TOLD SARAH AND MIKE AND KAI, IF THERE'S ANYTHING THEY NEED, WE ARE THERE TO HELP. UM, SO RIGHT NOW IT'S, UM, MIKE IS WORKING ON FINISHING UP QUOTES FOR THE C I P. UM, SO THAT WOULD BE PICKLEBALL COURTS, ALEX, UM, BASKETBALL COURT RESURFACING, UM, JUST FIGURING OUT WHERE EVERYTHING'S AT IN THAT PROCESS AND GETTING THOSE READY TO, TO PRESENT TO COUNSEL. UM, THERE WAS A, A GROUP, WAS THAT YESTERDAY AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, THE FACILITY ASSESSMENT GROUP, UM, THAT CAME, UM, THEY WENT DOWN TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER LOOKING AT DIFFERENT OPTIONS ON HOW WE CAN UTILIZE THE COMMUNITY CENTER BETTER AND, AND WHAT IMPROVEMENTS THAT IT WILL NEED OVERALL. UM, YOU KNOW, BATHROOMS, UM, SPACE, UM, A KITCHEN, ANY UPDATES THAT IT MIGHT BE. BUT IT'S A FACILITY ASSESSMENT PLAN THAT IS GOING ON ACROSS THE CITY'S, UM, REAL ESTATE THAT THEY HAVE, UM, AT ALL, AT EVERYTHING THEY'VE GOT. BUT THE COMMUNITY CENTER WAS INCLUDED IN THAT. SO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THOSE NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES ARE TO IMPROVE THE AMENITIES DOWN AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER FROM, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, BATHROOMS A SECOND KITCHEN, UM, WORKING ON THE SHELTER, BASKETBALL COURTS, WATER FOUNTAINS, JUST DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT FOR THE USAGE. UH, BIGGER PARKING LOT TO SERVE MORE PEOPLE. UM, SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SO FAR. DIDN'T SEAL IT CONFUSED. SO THE KITCHEN, IT'S STILL ONE KITCHEN, BUT LOOKING AT SPLITTING, MIRRORING AND SPLITTING IT, SO, OKAY. YEAH. SORRY ABOUT THAT. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. OKAY. WHERE WERE WE PUTTING THIS EXTRA KITCHEN AT? GOING TO THE BACK. RIGHT. OKAY. UH, CHRIS DOES THAT POSITION FOR THE PARK MANAGERS, DOES THAT REQUIRE HUBA HEIGHT? RESIDENTIAL. OKAY. ARE YOU INTERESTED? NO. . OKAY. . UM, BUT, UM, UH, KAI IS WORKING ON THE MUSIC SERIES, SO HE'S THE POINT PERSON FOR THE MUSIC SERIES, HAS JUMPED IN, [00:05:01] UM, FIGURING OUT THE DATES AND BANDS, AND HE'S GOING THROUGH THAT WHOLE PROCESS. UM, AND HERE IN A MINUTE WE'LL KIND OF SHOW YOU GUYS, UM, WHAT THE Y'S BEEN UP TO. UM, THAT WILL HELP OUT AS WELL. UM, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT FOR A CITY UPDATE AT THIS TIME. OKAY. SO THE, THE ONE QUESTION I HAVE, UM, REFERENCING THE, UM, MUSIC SERIES AND THE MOVIES, ARE WE STICKING TO THE SAME PLAN WHERE WE'RE GONNA TRY AND DO THE MOVIES ONLY ON FRIDAYS AND THE, UM, MUSIC SERIES ON SATURDAYS? YES. SO WE HAD ALREADY, PRIOR TO THE PARKS MANAGER DEPARTURE, UM, WE HAD ALREADY IRONED OUT DATES. UM, THAT DIDN'T COLLIDE WITH THE MOVIE NIGHTS. SO THE MOVIE NIGHTS WERE ALREADY SET WITH DATES. UM, SO EVERYTHING IS FALLING INTO PLACE. IT'S JUST FILLING IN THE SLOTS WITH FANS AND FOOD TRUCKS. OKAY. PERFECT. OKAY. ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR SARAH OR CHRIS? OKAY. Y M C A UPDATE? YEAH, SO I DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT, BUT I WANTED TO SHOW YOU GUYS, UM, AND GALS TONIGHT, UM, WHAT THE RENTAL, UM, SITE LOOKS LIKE, WHAT OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE, UM, WHETHER THEY GO TO THE CITY WEBSITE, THE Y WEBSITE, UM, AND JUST SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE IN PLACE. SO, UM, IF SARAH CLICKS ON, LET'S, LET'S START WITH THE COMMUNITY CENTER, CUZ THAT'S, THAT'S ONE THAT'S BEING RESERVED RIGHT NOW. SO THIS IS THE ONLINE PORTAL FOR THE CONSUMER. YOU CAN SEE IMMEDIATELY AS SARAH CLICKS ON IT IN JANUARY. WE ACTUALLY ONLY HAVE THREE DATES THAT ARE LEFT AVAILABLE FOR RENTAL. UM, SO, UM, WE'LL GET SOME NEW PICTURES UPDATED. UM, SO YOU KNOW, THE, THE INDIVIDUAL WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE PICTURE. UM, IT TELLS YOU THE FEATURES THAT ARE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, THE SIZE OF THE ROOMS, UM, HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN BE THERE, UM, WHAT THE COST IS. UM, IF SARAH PICKS A PICK A DATE, SARAH, IT DOESN'T MATTER. YEAH, THE 27, WHATEVER. SO IT SHOWS THE PRICE. IT'S A HUNDRED DOLLARS RIGHT NOW WITH A $50 DEPOSIT. IT'S AN ALL DAY RENTAL. SO 8:00 AM TO 8:00 PM IS THE RENTAL TIME. UM, IF SARAH ADDS THAT TO THE CART. THE OTHER THING THAT POPS UP IS THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS ALSO, UM, A SPOT WHERE PEOPLE CAN ASK FOR AN ALCOHOL PERMIT. UM, AND THEY CAN BOOK THAT ALCOHOL PERMIT AND BE ABLE TO HAVE, UM, ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AT THEIR, AT THEIR SUAREE, SO TO SPEAK. UM, BUT UH, IS THAT A CHANGE BEFORE PREVIOUS? NO, NO. WE'VE ALWAYS DONE ALCOHOL PERMITS AT THE SHELTERS. UM, SO, AND, UM, THE COMMUNITY? NO, NO. THE COMMUNITY CENTER. YES. UM, JOSH WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN HE HAD SOMEBODY AND I WOULD GO IN AND, AND GO THROUGH THE, THE NORMAL PROCESS TO PROVIDE ALCOHOL PERMITS FROM PEOPLE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS SIR, DROP DOWN THE SHOW. IS THERE A CHARGE TO DO THAT? IT'S $25. YEAH. SO YOU CAN SEE IF SARAH HIT THE BOOK NOW, UM, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE ALCOHOL LICENSE IS $25 IF SHE ADDS IT TO THE CART, AND THEN SHE GOES TO CHECK OUT. SO YOU CAN SEE THIS IS WHERE THEY WOULD PUT IN ALL THEIR INFORMATION, THEIR EMAIL, THEIR TELEPHONE, ANY COMMENTS, UM, AND THEN SCROLLING DOWN, UM, YOU HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENT AT THAT TIME, UM, TO BOOK A SHELTER OR THE COMMUNITY CENTER. UM, SO THAT WAY THE MONEY'S UP UPFRONT. UM, SO THEN, SO THERE'S NO STATE, THE X Y IS THE, THERE'S NO IN THE STATE FOR APPROVAL PROCESS, ONCE THEY GET ANY PAY, IS THERE LETTER APPROVE? UM, YEAH, KIND OF, I GUESS I WOULD SAY THAT THERE'S NOT REALLY A, UM, A VETTING PROCESS, SO TO SPEAK, BUT IT HAS TO BE A NONPROFIT. AND IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THE INDIVIDUALS ARE DOING AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, WE, WE CAN CALL THEM AND ASK THEM. I MEAN, WE, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO IN AND SEE WHO'S GOT IT BOOKED THAT DAY AND SEE WHAT, WHAT THEY'RE DOING. BUT MOST OF WHAT WE SEE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER ARE BRIDAL SHOWERS, BABY SHOWERS IN FAMILY REUNIONS, JUST LIKE AT THE SHELTERS. BUT, BUT SHOULD AN ORGANIZATION RENT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE USED THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA WE'RE HOSTING THIS CREW OR WHATEVER'S GONNA BE A CENTER. YOU GUYS HAVE THE HOW THAT DOWNTOWN COURTHOUSE SQUARE GROUPS THAT HAVE COME IN. YEAH. AND IT'S JUST, [00:10:01] I'M TRYING TO SAFEGUARD. YEAH, I I, I, I COMPLETELY SEE. YEAH, I MEAN, BECAUSE WE, YOU DON'T HAVE, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT GONNA BE CORRECT. AND, AND IN PREVIOUS, WE'VE HAD GROUPS THAT HAVE COME IN AND THEY'VE LIKE TRIED TO CHARGE ADMISSION. IT'S ALWAYS CAUGHT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. I WATCH THAT PRETTY HEAVILY, UM, WITH BUSINESSES AND GROUPS AND THAT. SO, UM, WE'LL BE WORKING WITH CHRIS TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT, THAT PLAN OF ATTACK LOOKS LIKE. BUT YOU GET AN, CHRIS GETS AN EMAIL TO, TO SAY, HEY, THIS HAS BEEN BOOKED AND IT IS UN NOTIFIED. SO YEAH. OKAY. AND HOW, HOW FAR OFF IS THAT CALENDAR HERE? UM, WELL, SO WHAT THE, THE PROCESS WAS BEFORE WAS, UM, YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU HAVE A RESERVATION AND IT'S ALREADY BLACKED OUT FOR YOUR DAY, SO YOU'RE OKAY, RON IN NOVEMBER, RIGHT? I GOT NINE BROTHERS, SISTERS PRISON PARTY. SO, UM, YEAH, SO WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO FOR NEXT YEAR, HOW FAR IN ADVANCE WE'LL TAKE RESERVATIONS. UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE HEART, THE, THE, THE PART THAT WE'VE GOTTA TALK ABOUT IS, DOES THE CITY WANT THE MONEY TO SHOW UP THE YEAR BEFORE? IF YOU LET SOMEBODY BOOK A YEAR IN ADVANCE, YOU KNOW, FOR THEIR AUDITING YEAH. FOR THEIR AUDITING PURPOSES. UM, BUT, YOU KNOW, FOR SHELTERS, THE SHELTERS, YOU CAN'T BOOK UNTIL AT SOME POINT IN JANUARY OF THAT YEAR THAT YOU WANTED. SO I COULD, I COULD SEE US GOING TO SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER. BUT I COULD ALSO SEE, LIKE, WE'VE GOT GROUPS LIKE THE, THERE'S, THERE'S SEVERAL BOY SCOUT AND GIRL SCOUT TROOPS THAT ARE DOWN THERE. UM, I THINK WE'VE GOT A GROUP, ONE GROUP THAT COMES IN EVERY MONDAY AND KNOWING THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE THERE. AND THERE'S, THERE'S STILL SOME QUESTIONS THAT WE'VE GOT TO GET FIGURED OUT, BUT, UM, IT'S, THE SITE IS AVAILABLE BY THE END OF THE MONTH. UM, IT WILL BE HOPEFULLY EMBEDDED ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE. IT'LL BE EMBEDDED ON THE WISE WEBSITE. WE WILL ADD ALL THE SHELTERS. WE WILL HAVE SIGNS UP THAT HAVE QR CODES PLUS THE WEBSITE ADDRESS THAT WILL TAKE YOU TO THE BOOKING SITE WHERE YOU CAN BOOK IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE. THAT'S WHAT REFRESH ON MY MIND HERE THAT BRINGS TO, UH, A ALTERN KENRICK. THEY, THEY, UH, TAKE THE CALENDAR IN DATE JANUARY. SO CHRIS, YOU HAD JULY 6TH, YOU FIRST REFUSAL TO HAVE JULY OR THE FIFTH OR WHATEVER THAT WEEKEND, THE SAME WEEKEND YOU HAVE UNTIL, I THINK IT'S JANUARY 30TH, 31ST, WHATEVER. IT'S TO BOOK THAT SAME TOURNAMENT IN THERE. COMPLEX. SO I JUST THROWING THAT OUT. YEAH. SO A PERFECT EXAMPLE IS THE WARRIORS SOCCER CLASSIC ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. WE BLOCK IT OFF, WE KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA BE. I MEAN, WE, WE GO AHEAD AND BLACK IT OUT BEFORE WE EVEN OPEN IT UP TO OTHER PEOPLE. OKAY. SO IF YOU, IF IF YOU WENT TO CLOUD PARK ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND THAT FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, AND MONDAY, IT'S ALREADY GONE. YOU CAN'T EVEN, SAME THING WITH, UH, WITH THE 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION. UM, IT'S ALREADY BLACKED OUT, UM, SECOND WEEKEND IN OCTOBER, RIGHT. FOR THE FALL. IT'S, IT'S ALREADY BLOCKED OUT, WHICH HAS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S ALREADY SET IN STONE ALL RIGHT. BEGINNING. YEAH. I MEAN, IF WE KNOW, LIKE, IF WE KNOW SINCE WE, THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH WARRIOR OR SOCCER HAS BEEN THERE FOR SO LONG, WE KNOW WHEN THOSE DATES ARE, WE JUST GO AHEAD AND BLACK IT OUT AUTOMATICALLY. AND THEN LET'S SAY WARRIOR SOCCER CAME BACK AND ASKED US TO, UM, THAT THEY WEREN'T GONNA USE IT IN THE FALL. MAYBE THEY, WHICH HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST, THEN WE'LL OPEN IT BACK UP TO WHERE PEOPLE CAN MAKE RESERVATIONS ON THAT OCTOBER WEEKEND. AND THAT COULD HAPPEN IN APRIL. YEAH, YEAH. DEPENDING ON HOW MANY TEAMS THEY GET. ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS IS THAT, UM, PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO REGISTER, UM, AND RENT, UM, ISLAND PARTIES AT THE KROGER AQUATIC CENTER AS WELL. UM, SO WE'VE, WE'VE, YOU KNOW, NORMALLY JUST LIKE THE SHELTERS, YOU'VE GOTTA EITHER COME INTO THE Y OR CALL THE Y SO THEY'LL BE, PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO RESERVE THEIR ISLAND PARTIES AT THE AQUATIC CENTER THIS SUMMER AS WELL. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. RON, I'LL GO AHEAD AND CANCEL YOUR RESERVATION HERE. YOU ASKED TO MAKE QUESTIONS. WHAT'S ANOTHER FURTHER CHECK THAT? I KNOW YOU'RE GOOD, YOU'RE BLACKED OUT. YOU'RE FINE. I, I DO HAVE A QUESTION. UH, YOU SAID IT'S ONLY NONPROFITS COULD RENT THAT OUT? YEAH. OKAY. I JUST DIDN'T, YEAH, I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT IT, UM, IF YOU GO TO THE CITY WEBSITE, IT, IT SAYS SPECIFICALLY ON THERE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER THAT IT IS NON-PROFIT RENTAL. SO I CAN USE MY NON-PROFIT, BUT USE IT FOR PERSONAL REASONS. BROTHER'S MAKING [00:15:01] MONEY OFF HIS NINE OTHER BROTHERS AND SISTERS FOR HIS CHRISTMAS PARTY. , I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR A THINKING JUNE OF 2024 FOR GRADUATION STUFF. , YOU'LL BE ABLE TO, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO, YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE NOT FOR-PROFIT, SO YOU'LL BE OKAY. ALL RIGHT. , ANY MORE QUESTIONS? SIR? CAN YOU CLICK ADDITIONAL INFO FOR ME? IS THERE ANYTHING IN THERE? NOT AT THIS TIME. SO BASED OFF WHAT, WHAT THE CITY'S GONNA HAVE ON THEIRS, CAN WE HAVE SOMEWHAT THE SAME LANGUAGE ON YOURS? CAN SOMEONE GOES TO THE WISE WEBSITE? IT'S THE EXACT SAME EXACT THAT IS, THAT IS WORD FOR WORD WHAT'S ON THE CITY WEBPAGE CURRENTLY. SO WHERE IS THE PORTION ABOUT THE NONPROFIT OR NOT-FOR-PROFIT? BECAUSE THAT WAS ON THE CITY WEBSITE, BUT IT WAS A, IT WAS LIKE A SENTENCE AT THE VERY TOP AND YOU, THAT MAY BE THE PART THAT WE MISSED IT, BUT WE CAN GO BACK IN AND ADD IT. THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND PUTTING ON THERE AND, AND MAYBE FIGUR OUT A WAY HOW TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE IT STAND OUT. THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. WE CAN ADD IT BECAUSE, BECAUSE THAT WOULD PREVENT IT. THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD PREVENT A LIE. YEAH. OKAY. BUT, UM, YEAH, SO THIS IS, THIS IS THE NEW SYSTEM THAT, THAT WE'LL BE USING FOR, SO IF YOU CLICK ON JUST, YEAH, YOU CLICK ON A CLOUD PARK, SO YOU CAN SEE THAT ALL SIX SHELTERS ARE LISTED. UM, LET'S GO TO, UH, SHERMAN. I'M SORRY, I WANNA SHOW ONE WITH A PICTURE SO YOU CAN SEE THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. UM, ONCE WHICH WE SENT 'EM THE PICTURES FOR CLOUD, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S NO DATES IN JANUARY. THAT'S BECAUSE, UM, SHELTER RENTALS DON'T START TILL APRIL 1ST BECAUSE OF THE BATHROOMS. SO, UM, SO IT SHOULD SHOW UP MAYBE, BUT, UM, YEAH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON THERE. UM, BUT YOU, YEAH. UM, BUT YOU CAN SEE, AND THEN IF YOU CLICK ON ADDITIONAL INFO, IT SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW, OKAY, SO WE'VE GOT SOME THINGS. IT'S A BRAND NEW SYSTEM. WE'RE STILL ADJUSTING AND, AND FIXING THINGS. UM, BUT, UM, WAS THAT TRUE YOU GUYS OR HIRE ORGANIZATION? SO, SO SALLY IS A COMPANY OUT OF CANADA. HEY, UH, HEY. AND, UM, THEY DO THE RENTAL BUSINESS. SO IF YOU GO SOMEWHERE AND YOU WANNA DO A BIKE RENTAL, THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. THEY, THEY, THEY, THEY PERFORM A LOT OF LIKE SIGHT SCENE TOURS, BIKE RENTALS. UM, WE, THE REASON WE WENT WITH Z IS, UM, WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP AT THE Y WITH THEM ALREADY. UM, CAMP KERN, THEIR OZONE, THE HIGH ROPES COURSE, THAT'S HOW YOU, THAT'S WHAT YOU BOOK THROUGH IS Z. SO THERE WAS ALWAYS ALREADY A RELATIONSHIP THERE. UM, SO THAT IS, UM, THE REASON WE WENT THERE, WE'RE ONLY TIED TO 'EM FOR A YEAR, TO BE HONEST. SO IF, IF WE FOUND A BETTER PLATFORM, WE CAN ALWAYS GO THROUGH ALL THIS PROCESS AGAIN. BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET ALL THE BUGS WORKED OUT, UM, AND GET IT, GET IT DONE. ONE OF THE OTHER NICE FEATURES THAT WE HAVE DONE AS WELL, UM, IS THAT WHEN YOU MAKE A RESERVATION, UM, YOU WILL ALSO, ON THE E YOU WILL GET AN EMAIL WHERE YOU WILL FILL OUT AN ELECTRONIC WAIVER. SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WAIVERS ARE A BIG DEAL THESE DAYS. YOU GOTTA HAVE WAIVERS FOR EVERYTHING. SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO AN ELECTRONIC WAIVER. UM, IF YOU ARE HAVING A POOL PARTY AT THE AQUATIC CENTER AND ISLAND PARTY AND YOU'RE BRINGING, LET'S SAY RON, YOU'RE HOSTING IT AND BRIAN'S BRINGING HIS KIDS, BRIAN WILL ACTUALLY GET A WAIVER AS WELL, AND HE'LL BE ABLE TO SIGN OFF ON HIS KIDS BEING THERE. UM, AND WE'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO TAKE WAIVERS IN PERSON AT THE AQUATIC CENTER, ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH A, UH, TABLET, LIKE AN IPAD OR A SAMSUNG, WHATEVER WE DECIDE TO GO WITH. SO IT KIND OF FITS ALL THE NEEDS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE TO, TO DO ONLINE RENTALS. OKAY. SO I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU. UM, ARE WE NOT INCLUDING EEL BERGER IN THIS? NO. OKAY. SO IF I WANTED TO RENT THE EEL BERGER, WHO WOULD I, YOU STILL HAVE TO CALL THE Y. OKAY. AND THAT'S JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE, WITH THE FARMER'S MARKET AND THE MOVIES AND THE MUSIC, UM, IT'S A LOT EASIER, UM, TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT RESERVATION OVER THE PHONE OR IN PERSON. OKAY. AND CUZ WE DON'T, I MEAN, WE GET A HANDFUL, UM, OF, OF RESERVATIONS AT THE EEL BERGER. OKAY. BUT THAT INFORMATION WILL BE POSTED ON, ON THIS SITE AS WELL FOR RESERVATIONS FOR, I MEAN, WE, WE CAN ALSO ON, SO I CAN TALK TO Z AND SEE WHAT WE CAN PUT UP THERE IF WE PUT A BANNER. OKAY. BUT YEAH, THE EEL WE'RE STILL DOING IN PERSON JUST BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S NOT A LARGE NUMBER. OKAY. SO, AND I'M JUST THINKING, I MEAN, I TYPICALLY WILL REFER FOLKS TO A SINGLE LOCATION, BUT I'M JUST THINKING THAT [00:20:01] IF BOTH OF 'EM HAD FOR RESERVATIONS FOR THIS, FOR PARK RESERVATIONS, FOR LIKE FESTIVALS AND BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, CALLED HERE, THEN YOU SORT OF ALMOST HAVE A ONE STOP SHOT. YEAH. INSTEAD OF SOMEONE CALLING AND SAY, WELL HOW DO I DO THIS? WHY DON'T YOU JUST CALL US? SO WHAT DATE, I MEAN WE CAN, WE CAN ADD THE EEL BURGER AND, AND PUT IN THERE THAT FOR RESERVATIONS, PLEASE CALL THE WISE NUMBER. OKAY. UM, CUZ THERE'S A SHARED CALENDAR WHERE ALL THE DATES, YOU KNOW, AND, AND LIKE, I HAD SOMEBODY CALL THIS WEEK THAT WANTED TO DO A BIBLE STUDY, BUT SHE WANTED TO DO IT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF FARMER'S MARKET IN MAY, YOU KNOW, SO THAT WOULD'VE BEEN REALLY DIFFICULT TO, FOR HER TO DO A BIBLE STUDY, YOU KNOW, WHILE YOU GUYS ARE DOING THE FARMER'S MARKET. SO, OKAY. YEAH. CAUSE I DON'T KNOW, DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE MUSIC AGAIN AND DO ALL THAT FUN STUFF IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE GOATS AND YOGA. SO WE, WE COULD PLAN THAT . ALL RIGHT. I THINK THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE FOR NOW ON THAT ONE, BUT I LIKE IT. I THINK IT'S A, I THINK IT'S GREAT AND IT ACHIEVES ONE OF OUR GOALS TO ADD SOME TECHNOLOGY TO THE PART, EVEN THOUGH THIS, THIS PIECE HERE ISN'T PHYSICALLY IN THE PARK, UM, THE QR CODES, UM, AND ALL OF THAT, I WILL ALLOW YOU TO USE YOUR SMARTPHONES, YOUR IPADS, YOUR COMPUTERS, WHATEVER, TO GET RIGHT TO THE SITE TO CHECK RENTALS, UM, TO RENT SPACE AND ALL THAT. SO THAT'S A GOOD STEP FORWARD THERE. AND THAT'S SPOT. ALEX, DO YOU HAVE A CONCERN IN THE FACE? NO. HEY, WE GOT IT OUT. WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP IT SIMPLE. . THAT'S RIGHT. WE GOT IT. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE, CHRIS? NO, THAT'S IT. READY? OKAY. SO THE NEXT TOPIC WE HAVE ON THE LIST ARE, UM, IT'S A PROGRAMMING DISCUSSION. OF COURSE, WE, THIS WILL ALWAYS BE ON OUR LIST, UM, EVERY, FOR EVERY AGENDA. BUT WHAT I WANT TO TRY AND DO, UM, IS SPECIFICALLY TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE PROGRAMMING THAT WE HAVE COMING UP AND JUST FOCUS ON THAT INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON THE LONG TERM THINGS THAT WE HAVE COMING UP, LIKE BALL, FAMILY, FAST THINGS, STUFF LIKE THAT. SO, UM, SO THE FIRST THING THAT WE HAVE COMING UP IS EARTH DAY. AND BLAKE'S NOT HERE TODAY, BUT I HAVE HIS, UM, I THINK I HAVE HIS STUFF WE'RE PULLED UP. UM, SO FOR, FOR EARTH DAY, WE'RE LOOKING AT APRIL 22ND, UM, 2023. AND THAT WILL BE AT THE HUBER HEIGHTS COMMUNITY CENTER, UH, POWELL ROAD. UH, WE'RE TARGETING, UH, 12 TO 3:00 PM FOR THAT. UM, AND BLAKE IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON, UM, SOME TENTATIVE ACTIVITIES. SO WE'RE DEVELOPING A BUDGET FOR THAT AND WE'LL GET TO THE BUDGET IN ONE SECOND. SO, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS HE'S INTERESTED IN HAVING IS PROBABLY KONA ICE TO COME BACK OUT AGAIN LAST YEAR. THAT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL. UM, UH, THE PARKS BUDGET COVERED THAT. UM, THE OVERALL PARKS BUDGET, SORRY. UM, SO KIDS WERE ABLE TO GET SOME, UM, AFTER DOING THEIR ACTIVITIES, THEY WERE ABLE TO GET SOME, SOME GOOD, UM, CONE OF ICE OUT THERE. UM, WE HAD THE BOY SCOUT THIS, SORRY, WE HAD THE SCOUTS OUT THERE AS WELL. UM, AND BLAKE IS TALKING ABOUT POTENTIAL, UH, BOTTLE LAUNCHING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO TALK TO BLAKE ABOUT TOO WAS ALSO WORKING WITH SARAH. I GOTTA SEND HER AN EMAIL, BUT I WANNA SEE IF WE CAN GET A LIST OF, UM, CURRENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE A PART OF THE ADOPT PARK.

UM, SO, YOU KNOW, WE'LL PROBABLY NEED TO BUY SOME BULK BUBBLES ON A BUBBLE MACHINE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO THAT WOULD BE GOOD. UM, HE'S LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS, UM, TO HELP COOK FOOD.

SO, UM, BUT JUSTICE, SO YOU'RE AWARE, WE DO HAVE, OUR GOAL IS TO DO TWO MAJOR EVENTS THAT WE SPONSOR. UH, WE'RE NOT TWO MAJOR EVENTS, TWO EVENTS, , JUST REPHRASE THAT. UM, ONE IS THE FALL FAMILY FEST AND THAT'S AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER. UM, THE INTENT THERE IS JUST TO HAVE FOLKS COME OUT AND HAVE A GOOD TIME. YOU KNOW, WE DON'T DO ANYTHING BIG OR EXTRAVAGANT. WE JUST, YOU KNOW, WE SPEAK ABOUT HOT DOGS. WE, UM, HAVE SOME GAMES THERE. WE MAY EVEN TRY AND GET SOME PUMPKIN PAINTING. WE'LL HAVE SOME COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS COME OUT AND HAVE SOME CRAFTS FOR THE KIDS AND THE YOUTH. UM, THERE'S A BASKETBALL COURT OVER THERE TOO, SO THERE WERE SOME TEENAGERS OVER THERE PLAYING BASKETBALL. SO THE GOAL IS TO KEEP IT AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE. NOTHING EXTRAVAGANT, LIKE NUMERAL FESTIVAL. WE WANNA KEEP THIS MANAGEABLE FOR, FOR US. UM, AND THEN THE SECOND THING IS EARTH DAY. YOU KNOW, UM, FOR ME IT'S ALL ABOUT PROMOTING, YOU KNOW, EARTH DAY, YOU KNOW, THE ENVIRONMENT IN AND ALL OF THAT. SO DOING WHATEVER WE CAN, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A TREE, WE HAVE A TREE EXPERT OVER HERE WHO CAN TALK ABOUT, UH, ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF TREES, , AND HE'S TURNS HIS HEAD RIGHT, , SO HE KNOWS ALL KINDS OF STUFF ABOUT FOOD HEALTH PLANTS, . SO, BUT THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO JUST, YOU KNOW, GET OUT AND SEE FOLKS. SO, AND THEN, UM, WE WILL ALSO LOOK AT HOPEFULLY, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DID NOT TALK ABOUT, CAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE DATES IN FRONT OF ME, IS I HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION WITH CHRIS AND SARAH LAST WEEK OR TWO WEEKS AGO, LAST WEEK. LAST WEEK, LAST WEEK. UM, AND WE WERE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT, ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO KNOW WAS, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES THE Y HAVE PLANNED FOR 2023? IS THERE ANYTHING NEW? AND SO I'LL LET CHRIS GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT THAT IF YOU WANT, IF YOU CAN'T. BUT I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHAT'S HAPPENING FOR NEXT YEAR. YEAH. SO, UM, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE STRONG KIDS TRIATHLON, UM, WHICH WILL BE THE FIRST SATURDAY IN AUGUST, WHICH I BELIEVE IS THE SIXTH. UM, SO ACTUALLY, UM, WE HAVE OUR FIRST PLANNING MEETING TOMORROW. UM, BUT THAT WILL, YEAH, UH, IT'S AUGUST 5TH, I'M SORRY. AND THAT'LL BE AT THE KROGER AQUATIC CENTER. UM, IT IS AN INTERNATIONAL EVENT. I WILL SAY THAT CUZ WE ACTUALLY HAVE A COUPLE KIDS FROM CANADA THAT HAVE COME DOWN AND THEY HAVE FAMILY IN THIS AREA AND HAVE PARTICIPATED. UM, WE HAD A, A GIRL FROM TORONTO LAST YEAR. UM, SO IT'S INTERNATIONAL RUN. IT'S INTERNATIONAL RUN . UM, BUT UM, YOU KNOW, THAT IS A, THAT IS THE USE OF THE AQUATIC CENTER, UM, ON A SATURDAY BEFORE WE OPEN. UM, SO IT'S, IT'S A COMMUNITY EVENT. UM, YOU KNOW, THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT ARE INVOLVED AS WELL. UM, SO, YOU KNOW, WE'D LOVE TO HAVE THE PARKS BOARD MORE INVOLVED IN THAT. UM, WE ARE GOING TO DO THE, UM, FREE COMMUNITY CLASSES ON SATURDAY MORNINGS BEFORE THE FARMER'S MARKET OPENS. SO AT NINE, I THINK IS WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR. UM, WE'RE REALLY GONNA KEEP [00:35:01] THAT TO CLASSES THAT DON'T REQUIRE A LOT OF EQUIPMENT. SO DANCE CLASSES, YOGA, PILATES, UM, WE'VE GOT A TAI CHI INSTRUCTOR. UM, SO THAT'S, WE'RE, WE'VE ALREADY STARTED TALKING ABOUT THAT IN THE Y AND THOSE ARE FREE TO ANYBODY. SO ANYBODY CAN COME, UM, DO THOSE CLASSES AND THEN AT 10 O'CLOCK, YOU KNOW, STROLL ON OVER INTO THE FARMER'S MARKET UP FIRST. UM, WE'LL PROBABLY DO SOME RACES IN THE FALL. UM, AND THEN, UM, VINCE AND I TALKED ABOUT ALSO, AND SARAH AND I TALKED ABOUT, UM, ALSO OFFERING, UM, SOME COMMUNITY CLASSES DOWN AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AS WELL, LIKE ON A SATURDAY MORNING. UM, AND, AND HAVING IT JUST OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY IN, IN THE MONTHS WHERE WE DON'T, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE AREN'T GONNA BE OUTSIDE LIKE AT THE FARMER'S MARKET DOING IT. AND, AND JUST HAVE, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY THE SAME THING, DANCE, YOGA, PILATES, TAI CHI, THAT TYPE OF CLASS THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AS WELL FOR ANYBODY TO COME IN AND TAKE PART IN. SO WE'RE KIND OF WORKING ON ALL OF THAT AT THE SAME TIME. WHAT, WHAT'S THE EXPANSION TAKING PLACE? WHAT EXPANSION MALCOLM BACK WITH, UH, FORMER BASKETBALL COURTS OR SO? MAN, I WISH ALEX WANTS, SEE THAT'S THE DUDE THAT WAS GONNA COME UP. HE JUST WANTS TO PICK, IF I BUILD ANOTHER GYM, I GOTTA PUT LINES DOWN FOR PICKLEBALL COURTS, SO HE HAS SIX. YEAH. BUT, UM, NOW WE'RE, WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE TRIATHLON. WE, WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE IT A HUGE EVENT THIS YEAR. UM, YOU KNOW, AND, AND DON'T FORGET THAT, YOU KNOW, AS THE PARK AND REC BOARD, WE DO HAVE THIS GIANT WATER PARK THAT OPENS MEMORIAL DAY AS WELL. AND YOU KNOW, SARAH, UM, WORKS ON DOING RADIO DAYS. UM, WE HAVE COMMUNITY AND PASSHOLDER ONLY DAYS AT THE WATERPARK, UM, TO, TO BETTER SERVE THE CITIZENS OF HUBER HEIGHTS. UM, SO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WELL AS WE GET TO THE SUMMERTIME IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT AMENITY IS TECHNICALLY IN THE PARK SYSTEM, SO THAT'S, THAT'S PART OF YOUR GUYS' REALM AS WELL. SO THAT'S BITES IN THE HEIGHTS. YEAH, SO WE'RE STILL PLANNING ON DOING THAT IN OCTOBER. FINGERS CROSSED WE DON'T HAVE THE DATE NAILED DOWN YET CUZ THE CONCERT SEASON HAS NOT BEEN ANNOUNCED YET. SO TALK TO A SLOW START. I'M SURE THERE'S THINGS WORKING IN THE BACKGROUND . YEAH, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE PLANNING ON BITES IN THE HEIGHTS AGAIN. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? OH YEAH. AND THEN THE SUNDAY AFTER, UM, THE FALL FAMILY, UM, HARVEST PARTY AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, WE'LL HAVE OUR, OUR TRUNKER TREAT, UM, AT THE Y IN THE PARKING LOT. IT WAS GINORMOUS AGAIN THIS YEAR. UM, WE HAD OVER 1600 KIDS COME THROUGH. UM, SO I MEAN IT WAS, IT WAS A HUGE EVENT, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER COMMUNITY EVENT THAT, THAT THE Y AND THE CITY ARE TIED TO AS WELL. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS AND MYSELF AND THE PROGRAMMING OR ANY IDEAS FOR PROGRAMMING FOR THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS? NO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM I HAVE ON THE LIST HERE IS THE PRIORITY LIST UPDATE. SO, UM, JUSTICE, I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE IT, I NEED TO SEND YOU THE SLIDES, UM, UM, FOR THAT. SO I WILL DO DO THAT. UM, BUT UM, CURRENTLY ON OUR PRIORITY LIST AND WHAT WAS SUBMITTED IN NOVEMBER, UM, WE HAVE, UM, REDO, VERY CLEAR REDO PICKLEBALL COURTS, ADD BASKETBALL COURTS NEXT TO LOCATION, UM, I'M SORRY, ADD BASKETBALL COURTS TO LOCATIONS NORTH OF 70. SO THAT'S BY THE Y I'M SORRY, BY THE KROGER AQUATIC CENTER. YEP. LET ME CORRECT THAT. UM, AT A FITNESS PAD OR CIRCUIT IN A FITNESS EQUIPMENT TO ONE OF THE PARTS. SO I'M THINKING WE'RE PROBABLY THINKING SOMEWHERE, UM, THOMAS CLOUD PARK ALREADY HAD SOMETHING, UM, BUT WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT SOMEWHERE, UM, PROBABLY, I THINK WE WERE THINKING OF SHERMAN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND IT'S JUST A, YOU KNOW, BIG CEMENT PAD WITH STATIONARY EQUIPMENT THERE, UM, AT A PLAYGROUND TO, TO COMMUNITY CENTER, WHICH IS ON THE SIP AS WELL. UM, WALKING TRAILS AT COTTONWOOD PARK. UM, I THINK THAT WAS SOMETHING ADDED BY BLAKE, BUT OF COURSE WE'RE ALL BIG FANS OF ADDING TRAIL, A WALKING PATH, SORRY, AT ALL OF OUR PARKS. SO THAT WAY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU'RE ABLE TO WALK, UM, INSTEAD OF GETTING IN YOUR CAR AND HAVING TO GO, YOU KNOW, GO SOMEWHERE AND WALK. UM, WE HAVE ONE HERE, ADD A BATHROOM, PERMANENT BATHROOM TO COMMUNITY [00:40:01] PARK. UM, CONTINUE TO ADD MODERN TECHNOLOGY TO THE PARK. SO THIS WAS PHASE ONE. UM, SO WE'LL START, HAVE TO START LOOKING AT SOME OTHER OPTIONS AS WELL. UM, EXPAND THE SHELL GATE PARKING LOT, ADD ANOTHER BATHROOM TO THOMAS CLOUD PARK. UM, AND I'M GONNA TAP ONTO THAT. UM, I, SO I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIT IN ON JUSTICE'S INTERVIEW, UM, ABOUT A MONTH AGO. YEAH, END OF DECEMBER. SO HE ACTUALLY CAME UP WITH, WITH A REALLY GOOD IDEA, WHICH I'VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT. UM, AND ONE OF THOSE WAS, YOU KNOW, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S IN ALL THE RESTROOMS, NOT JUST ONE THAT THERE'S, I THINK YOU CALLED IT A BABY. THERE'S CHANGING STATIONS, UM, IN ALL OF 'EM, CHANGING TABLES IN ALL THE BATHROOMS, MEN, WOMEN, AND OF COURSE THEY'RE ALREADY IN THE FAMILY ONES. SO HE BROUGHT THAT UP AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GO AROUND AND SEE WHICH ONES THEY'RE NOT. BUT THAT WAS A GREAT IDEA. SO HIS INTERVIEW WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY ENLIGHTENING STATION ALL BATHROOM. SO, UM, SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE YOU GUYS ARE AWARE OF THAT, BUT HAVE TO CLEAN IT OUT TOO OLD HERE. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU MEAN BY . , I DUNNO. . OKAY. AND THEN, UM, THERE ARE CAMERAS IN THE . OH NO, THERE'S NOT. UM, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE ONE THERE AT ANOTHER OF ALL OUR COURT AND THOMAS CLUB PARK. UM, I'VE GONE BY THERE A COUPLE TIMES AND I'VE SEEN IT, IT'S BEEN PACKED, BUT, BUT WE HAVE THAT ON THERE. SO, BUT WHAT, UH, SO THAT IS WHAT'S CURRENTLY ON THE PRIORITY LIST. I, UM, I PLAN TO SUBMIT THIS LIST AGAIN IN MARCH, UM, DURING OUR UPDATES, WELL, DURING THE NEXT UPDATE, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR MARCH. BUT I PLAN TO SUBMIT THIS UNLESS, UM, YOU ALL HAVE ANY CHANGES TO IT. BUT, UM, AS, AS THE ITEMS ON THE SIP, SORRY, AS ITEMS ON OUR LIST GET DONE, I'LL COME BACK FOR SURE. AND SO DAY WE NEED TO UPDATE THIS AGAIN. OKAY? SO, BUT THIS IS OUR PRIORITY LIST. WE WILL PING COUNCIL TO SEE WHAT THE STATUS IS ON IT IN MARCH. UM, SO THAT WAY WE CAN, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE ALL WE CAN DO IS MAKE A RECOMMENDATION, COUNCIL HAS TO TAKE, TAKE THE NEXT STEP ON THAT. SO, UM, AS WELL AS CITY STAFF, AND I KNOW CITY STAFF HAS IT ON THE C BUT YOU KNOW, ALL WE CAN DO IS MAKE A RECOMMENDATION AND THAT'S OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR WHAT THE CITY SHOULD MAKE THE HOOPS PRIORITY. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? I GOT, I'M SORRY, I HAD ONE QUICK SIR. UM, HOW DOES THE, UH, VACANT POSITION OF THE DEPART MANAGER AFFECT THESE TOP THREE OR FOUR ITEMS? BECAUSE ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GOING TO REQUIRE AT LEAST ONE QUOTE, PROBABLY MORE BECAUSE OF THE DOLLAR VALUE. SO, UH, WE CONTINUE TO SLIDE THE, THE SCHEDULE TO THE RIGHT THERE BECAUSE WE HAVE A VACANT POSITION HERE. YES. UH, NO ALEX, UM, SO WHAT, UH, WHAT IS, WHAT DO WE'VE CITY STAFF HAVE DONE SO FAR IS THEY HAVE CONTINUED, UM, FIGURING OUT WHERE, UM, JOSH WAS AT IN THE PROCESS, RIGHT? AND HAVE CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH EVERYTHING. OKAY, SO LIKE YOUR, YOUR PICKLEBALL COURTS, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT, IT'S JUST NOT GONNA GET DROPPED. WE'RE GONNA GET THE QUOTES. THAT PROCESS IS ONGOING RIGHT NOW TO SEE WHERE, WHERE HE WAS AT IN TALKING TO VENDORS, UM, AND GETTING THOSE QUOTES AVAILABLE AND THEN GETTING THEM TO COUNCIL FOR THEIR APPROVAL. SO YEAH, EVERY, YOU KNOW, THE, YOU KNOW, THAT THE PICKLEBALL COURTS, UM, THE ONGOING THINGS THAT THE SPLASH PAD DOWN AT CLOUD PARK, UM, MIKE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE VENDORS THAT JOSH HAD ALREADY REACHED OUT TO, TO CONTINUE THAT PROCESS AND FIGURE OUT WHERE HE WAS COMPLETELY AT SO THAT IT CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD. SO YEAH, BALL'S NOT GETTING DROPPED. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I MEAN, WE'RE GONNA TAKE PICKLEBALL COURTS OFF THE LIST FIRST, BUT WELL, AND ALSO NOW, NO, NO, NO, STOP ALSO ON THAT LINE. UH, ON THAT POINT, UH, I THINK THERE'S ONLY ONE OTHER PERSON WHO WAS ON THIS BOARD WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS THE FIRST TIME. AND, UH, I'M NOT GONNA THROW HIM UNDER THE BUS THERE OR ANYTHING. I DON'T WANT YOU GUYS TO TARGET HIS HOUSE OR ANYTHING. BUT, UH, WE WAS KEPT OUT OF THE LOOP WHEN THEY STARTED SOLICITING CONTRACTORS AND MAKING DECISION ON THE PICKLEBALL COURT. AND, UM, A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE VERY UPSET BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS THE REAL REASON THEY HAD THIS BOARD HERE WAS TO GIVE COMMENTS, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY ON THE SPINAL PRO PRO PROGRAM, [00:45:01] UH, DESIGN, BUT UP FRONT WAS THE ACQUISITION. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WAS UPSET, I THINK THAT THEY WERE OUT OF THE LOOP AND THEN, YOU KNOW, DROPS ON US AND WE SAYING, WHAT DO WE HAVE? AND PEOPLE WASN'T VERY HAPPY WITH THAT. SO I'M SAYING THAT, BUT I'M REALLY TALKING TO CITY COUNCIL, WHOEVER IS MAKING THAT DECISION IS THAT DON'T HAVE AN ADVISORY BOARD AND THEN OVERLOOK THEM WHEN YOU REALLY NEED THEM. LET THEM HAVE AN INPUT. WELL, YOU KNOW WHOM THE FAMILY DECISION, BUT IT WILL MAKE US FEEL BETTER IF OUR INPUTS WERE HEARD BEFORE THEY MAKE THAT DECISION. THAT'S A FAIR STATEMENT. OKAY. , YOU'RE GOOD, YOU'RE GOOD. YEAH, I MEAN, EVERYTHING'S STILL MOVING FORWARD LIKE IT WAS. OKAY. SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING RIGHT NOW. ALRIGHT, SO IT'S ALL IN PROCESS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT, WHAT THE BID LOOKS LIKE, WHAT THE QUOTES LOOK LIKE, AND, AND ALL THAT. SO ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. UH, NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE. UH, PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD UPDATE PREPARATION FOR CITY COUNCIL. SO IN MARCH IS THE NEXT TIME I'M, WELL, WE'RE SCHEDULED TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE TO CITY COUNCIL. UM, THE LAST ONE WAS IN NOVEMBER, SO I'M GONNA START WORKING THAT NOW. UM, AS OF NOW, THE ONLY TOPIC, UM, WELL UPDATES I WOULD REALLY HAVE ARE, UM, WITH THE, UM, PRIORITY LIST AND THEN WHAT EVENTS WE HAVE COMING UP SPECIFICALLY. AND THAT WOULD BE THE EARTH DAY ACTIVITY THAT WE HAVE COMING UP, BECAUSE IT'S EVERY QU BASICALLY EVERY QUARTER THAT PROVIDES THEM WITH AN UPDATE. SO I DON'T PLAN ON GOING THROUGHOUT FOR THE WHOLE YEAR, BUT, UM, I WILL, I'LL TALK ABOUT EARTH DAY AND THEN I WILL, UM, SAY WE HAVE ANOTHER EVENT PLANNED FOR HERE, BUT OUR GOAL IS TO DO SOME MORE OUTREACH, YOU KNOW, FROM A BOARD PERSPECTIVE WITH OUR COMMUNITY, IF YOU ALL AGREE. SO MY GOAL IS TO HAVE SOMETHING TO YOU ALL IN FEBRUARY, UM, EITHER EMAILED AND BRING IT HERE, AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT AND YOU ALL CAN ADJUST IT SO THAT WAY WE HAVE THE RIGHT LANGUAGE AND THEN WE CAN GO FROM THERE. AND IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT ME TO BRING UP, SEND IT TO ME AND I'LL PUT IT ON, I'LL PUT IT IN THE NOTES. I WON'T DO A PRESENTATION AT THAT ONE, BUT WE'LL JUST DO, UH, YOU KNOW, I'LL JUST READ OFF SOME NOTES FOR THEM ONCE. I'LL TRY NOT TO. ALL RIGHT. UM, NEW BUSINESS.

BUT, UM, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A MEETING FOR EVERY MONTH AND OF COURSE, AS USUAL, IF WE HAVE NO TOPICS, WE WON'T HAVE A MEETING. OR IF WE DON'T HAVE A QUORUM, WE WON'T HAVE A MEETING EITHER. BUT, UM, THE ONLY CHANGE THAT I WOULD SAY IS DECEMBER 21ST, I RECOMMEND NOT HAVING A MEETING. , IF YOU COULD YOU JUST SAY, I RECOMMEND WE DON'T HAVE ONE NOW, . WELL, IT'S DECEMBER 21ST AND I KNOW ALICE ISN'T GONNA BE HERE, WHAT, JUNE 21ST? UH, I'LL BE HERE. YOU'LL BE HERE. I'LL BE HERE. OKAY, BUT IS THAT JUNE, JULY 20TH? IS IT JUNE? YEAH, I THINK THAT, OKAY, I'LL LET YOU KNOW. YOU LET US KNOW. ALRIGHT, IF YOU'RE NOT HERE, WE'RE GONNA CANCEL. HEY . [00:50:01] ALL RIGHT. SO, SO AS WE GET CLOSER FOR SURE TO DECEMBER, WE'LL HAVE A TALK ABOUT THAT ONE. OKAY? SO I NEED TO SIGN THAT. OKAY? SO, UM, IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL BUSINESS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS? SO I'LL START DOWN HERE ON THIS END, I HAVE NO ADDITIONAL BUSINESS, GLENN JUSTICE, ANY ADDITIONAL BUSINESS, ANYTHING NEW? RON? NONE DENNIS. ALEX, I'M HERE. OKAY, SO THE ONLY ONE THING THAT I HAVE FOR YOU GUYS, AND WE'RE ALMOST DONE HERE. OKAY, SO, UM, THE ONLY ONE THING THAT I HAVE TO ADD IS, UM, THE BUDGET. SO I WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT, UM, OUR BUDGET FOR THE YEAR REMAIN IS $10,000, UM, THAT WE ARE ABLE TO SPEND ON PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD THINGS, OKAY. ACTIVITIES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO, UM, WHAT I'M WORKING ON NOW IS DEVELOPING A TEMPLATE, UM, FOR OUR USE WHERE WE CAN TRACK, YOU KNOW, OUR SPENDING. UM, THE CITY WILL SEND ME EITHER MONTHLY OR QUARTERLY, UM, AN UPDATED EXPENDITURE SHEET. BUT ANY FUNDS THAT ARE EXPENDED, UH, YOU ALL WILL HAVE TO APPROVE, OKAY? WE'LL HAVE TO APPROVE AS A BODY, OKAY? SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO NOW IS COME UP WITH AN ACTUAL BUDGET FOR THINGS LIKE, UM, SHIRTS, EARTH DAY ACTIVITIES, UM, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT'S GONNA COST, UM, THE FALL FEST, THE PEP PARADE, UM, ANY ADVERTISEMENT OR POTENTIAL SWAG THAT WE MAY WANT TO TRY AND PURCHASE FOR THE YEAR. OKAY? UM, DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN, WE MEAN WE HAVE TO SPEND ALL $10,000, BUT THAT'S WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO US AND THAT'S WHAT'S IN OUR BUDGET. YEAH, , I'LL SEE YOU THERE, . UM, SO THE ONE THING THAT I, UM, WANTED TO DO WAS, UM, ASK YOUR PERMISSION TO, UM, WELL ASK YOU ALL A QUESTION. UM, DO YOU ALL WANT TO GET NEW SHIRTS OR ARE YOU FINE WITH THE CURRENT SHIRT THAT YOU HAVE? YOU'RE FINE. AND THE COLOR, EVERYONE'S FINE. OKAY. SO THE ONE THING THAT I WOULD, WE WOULD NEED TO DO IS AUTHORIZE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE PURCHASE OF AT LEAST THREE SHIRTS. I NEED ONE, SYDNEY NEEDS ONE AND JUSTICE NEEDS ONE. UM, SUPPOSE CINDY AND I ARE, ARE SORT OF SWIMMING IN OUR SHIRTS, SO, UM, SO, BUT JUSTICE IS NEW, SO WE'LL NEED TO GET HIM ONE. AND THIS IS WHAT THE CURRENT ONE LOOKS LIKE HERE, SO IT'S JUST THE, YEAH. PILLOW SHIRT WITH A STITCH. SO IF YOU ALL ARE GOOD WITH THAT, THEN WE CAN GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD AND PURCHASE THOSE. I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH THEY'RE GONNA COST, UM, BUT UM, I'LL REACH OUT TO, UM, TO SARAH AND SEE WHAT, WHAT OUR CURRENT VENDOR IS AND IF THEY CAN GET THROUGH THE THINGS, UM, THING. AND THEN I WILL, WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT IN FEBRUARY AND GET YOUR APPROVAL TO SPEND THOSE FUNDS ON THAT. UM, BLAKE, BLAKE DOES HAVE A SHIRT. YES. YES. UM, AND THEN THE OTHER THING THAT WE NEED PROBABLY NEED TO START TALKING ABOUT, BLAKE WANTED TO PURCHASE, UM, SOME WATER BOTTLES POTENTIALLY, UM, FOR, UH, EARTH DAY. UM, SO, UM, WHAT I WAS GONNA DO WAS START LOOKING AND SEE WHAT WE CAN, AND THEN WE'LL BRING IT BACK IN FEBRUARY FOR YOU ALL TO VOTE. UM, OH, CUZ WE'LL NEED TO GET A QUOTE ON THAT. AND THEN WE CAN ALWAYS PURCHASE MORE FOR MORE THAN WE NEED. WELL, WE CAN ALWAYS PURCHASE MORE AFTER THAT EVENT, YOU KNOW, FOR OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT WE HAVE OR PURCHASE. OTHER THINGS. UM, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN THE CITY PURCHASE ARE LIKE THINGS LIKE COOLING TOWELS, WHICH WERE VERY POPULAR, UM, OVER THE SUMMER. VERY, VERY POPULAR. UM, THEY HAD THESE WATER BOTTLES THEY'VE HAD. UM, I'M TRYING TO THINK WHAT ELSE DID WE GET? WHAT ELSE DID, DID THEY HAVE? WE'VE HAD FANS, WE'VE HAD BAGS, WE'VE HAD MUGS AND MUGS. MUGS. SO, UM, SO WHATEVER WE GET, I WOULD LIKE TO TRY AND JUST MAKE SURE IT'S PARKS AND RECREATION SORT OF RELATED. WE CAN TIE IT TO IT AND, UM, WHEN IT COMES TO THE LOGO, YOU ALL CAN DECIDE ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO HAVE THE PARKS AND RECREATION ON IT, UM, OR NOT, OR JUST USE THE CITY LOGO. UM, THE, OUR LOGO LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME, BUT IT HAS PARKS OF RECREATION UNDERNEATH IT, SO, UM, SO THAT'LL BE UP TO YOU GUYS, UM, TO DECIDE ON THAT. AND THEN WE CAN GET, WE CAN ALSO GET A QUOTE FROM THE COLE PERSPECTIVE. IS THAT THROUGH RANCH SHK? [00:55:01] IT'S A LOCAL ONES OR, UM, I, SARAH'S GOT A, SARAH KNOWS, SARAH KNOWS A GUY . WE, WE HAVE A VARIETY, WE HAVE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT VENDORS THAT WE'LL SOURCE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING THE BEST COST. WE DO VICE. YEAH, LUCKILY MY GUY KNOWS LOTS OF OTHER GUYS, SO , IT'S BEEN PRETTY EASY SO FAR. YEAH, SO, SO THAT'S SORT OF ONE OF THE THINGS I WANNA TRY AND DO IS GET US GET SOME SWAGS OF FIRST RECREATION STUFF THAT WE CAN HAND OUT THE NATIONAL NIGHT OUT AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SARAH, WHEN YOU'RE BUYING THIS SHIRTS, IS IT BETTER TO BUY LIKE FIVE OR 10 BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE GOING HAVE MEMBERS LEAVING THE BOARD AND COMING ON, SO BUYING THREE AT A TIME, THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A VERY COST EFFECTIVE WAY, YOU KNOW, BINDING THE SHIRT. IS THERE SOME WAY WE CAN DETERMINE WHAT'S THE OPTIMAL NUMBER TO BUY AND, AND JUST HAVE AN EXTRA IN YOUR, IN YOUR, IN YOUR DRUG? WELL, WE LET RENT KEEP, BUT I'M SAYING IT'S SERIOUSLY THOUGH, BUT BUYING THREE AT A TIME, I DON'T THINK IT'S THE SMARTEST WAY TO GO ABOUT DOING THAT THOUGH. IT, IT DOES VARY FROM VENDOR TO VENDOR. OKAY. AND FROM SIZE TO SIZE. SO, ALL RIGHT THEN. YEP. BUT BACK TO LEAST ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO DO IS ESPECIALLY GET YOU A SHIRT FOR YOUR ACTIVITIES. SO, UM, BUT WE HAVE NEW MEMBERS ON OTHER BOARDS, WHICH IS GREAT. SO, UM, SO, SO HOPEFULLY IT'LL ALL WORK OUT AT THE SAME TIME. UM, SO I'M GONNA CONTINUE WORKING ON THIS BUDGET. I WILL SEND YOU ALL A, UM, A VERY, A SKELETON VERSION OF THIS. FEEL FREE TO EDIT, SAY THIS DOESN'T LOOK GOOD AND SEND IT BACK. UM, BUT THEN THIS IS WHAT I PLAN TO PRESENT TO YOU ALL EVERY MONTH TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT WE SPENT. SO THAT WAY YOU'RE AWARE AND MY GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT ALIGNS WITH WHAT THE CITY SHOWS AS WELL. UM, SO, UM, BUT AGAIN, WE WON'T SPEND OUR MONEY UNLESS WE COME UP HERE FOR A VOTE UP HERE. OKAY? SO ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? OKAY. HAS EVERYONE HAD THE SEE APPROVAL OF MINUTES? HAS EVERYONE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE MINUTES FROM NOVEMBER? OKAY. AND IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS, THE MINUTES WILL BE APPROVED AS WRITTEN. ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS? OKAY, MEETING MINUTES ARE APPROVED. OKAY. OUR NEXT MEETING IS ON FEBRUARY 16TH AT 6:30 PM AND IT IS 7:32 PM AND THE MEETING HAS BEEN ADJOURNED. * This transcript was created by voice-to-text technology.
