[ AGENDA ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road May 15, 2023 6:30 P.M. ]
[00:00:03]
HELLO, I SHALL CALL THE MEETING OF THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION TO ORDER.
UM, SARAH, COULD YOU CALL THE ROLL MS. BRANDENBURG? HERE.
MS. MR. FOX? PRESENT? MS. SHELTON? HERE.
SINCE NO ONE'S ABSENT, WE CAN GO ON TO TALK ABOUT, UM, ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS? NO ONE'S HERE.
UM, WE CAN START ON WITH OLD BUSINESS.
UM, THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER UPDATE OR STAR SPAN IN THE HEIGHTS I SHOULD SAY.
UH, WE HAVE CLOSED FOOD TRUCK REGISTRATIONS CUZ WE HAVE REACHED OUR MAX OF 30.
I HAVE ACTUALLY TWO ON A WAITING LIST IN CASE ANYBODY DECIDES TO BAIL OUT.
UH, WE CURRENTLY ALSO HAVE 26 VENDORS, UM, REGISTERED AND PAID FOR.
AND 35 PARADE APPLICATIONS HAVE COME IN.
SO KEEP IN MIND THAT ALSO INCLUDES COUNCIL PEOPLE AS WELL.
UM, SO THOSE ARE MY QUICK UPDATES.
IS THERE A MAX FOR PARADE CONTESTANTS OR NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF.
HOW MANY DO WE LEARN THAT? I KNOW YOU WEREN'T GONNA ASK ME THAT
BUT THEY USUALLY COME IN LATER ON TOO.
WE'LL, WE'LL DO SOME ADDITIONAL PUSHES.
UM, SO SOME OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME WAS CORN HOLE.
WE TALK ABOUT A BASKETBALL FREE THROW AND THE COOKIE CONTEST.
AND YOU, GREG PASSED IT ON TO THE OPTIMIST CLUB.
ANY UPDATE ON THAT? UM, THEY'RE BASICALLY TRYING TO GET SOMEONE, A NON-MEMBER INVOLVED WITH THESE TO HELP GANG THE SOFTBALL AND POSSIBLE PROVIDE SOME EQUIPMENT.
AND WHERE IT'S BEING STALLED AT THE MOMENT IS BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER.
THIS INDIVIDUAL WHO ALSO COACHES IS HAVING TO RESCHEDULE GAMES THAT ARE RAINED OUT.
SO WHEN, UM, THERE PROBABLY WON'T BE A DECISION MADE THIS, UH, THURSDAY NIGHT BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE HAVING RESPECT FOR LAW NIGHT.
SO IT'S MORE LIKELY IT'LL BE SOME TIME AFTER THAT.
SO HOW LONG DOES IT, I'VE NEVER DONE A SOFTBALL GAME, LIKE TO COORDINATE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PLAN THAT? I REALLY DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, THE LAST TIME I PLANNED SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I DON'T THINK I WAS STILL IN COLLEGE OR SHORTLY AFTER COLLEGE AND I JUST SAID, HEY GUYS, I'M GONNA BE AT BALL NINE AND A WITH A KE OF BEER AND SHOW UP AND EVERY FUNNY.
SO I WOULD, THAT WAS 40 SOME YEARS AGO.
SO I WOULD IMAGINE IT'S PROBABLY CHANGED QUITE A BIT.
SO
WHEN SHOULD WE HAVE THAT OUT, DON'T YOU THINK? NEXT MEETING AT THE VERY LATEST.
YEAH, I MEAN THE, THE SOONER THE BETTER CUZ THEN I CAN MAKE SURE IT'S ALL INCLUDED IN THE FACEBOOK EVENT.
AND THAT WHEN, WHEN IS, I GUESS, SO YOUR DEADLINE WOULD BE THE NEXT MEETING THEN, WOULDN'T IT? THEN YOU'D JUST PUBLISH IT THE FOLLOWING DAY? CORRECT.
UM, OUR NEXT MEETING IS JUNE 21ST, WHICH ONLY WOULD GIVE A WEEK AND A WEEK AND A DAY TO ADVERTISE.
WE PROBABLY WANT TO SEND IT OUT BEFORE THAT.
YEAH, I I MEAN MY GOAL WAS, IS TYPICALLY FOR THESE BIGGER EVENTS, TYPICALLY A MONTH BEFORE, BECAUSE THEN I CAN INCLUDE IN ALL OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS GOING OUT THE LINK TO THE EVENT.
PEOPLE CAN SHARE THE EVENT, THEY CAN SHARE, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THAT STUFF.
WELL I MIGHT SUGGEST SOMETHING, WHY DON'T WE DO THIS? LET'S LEAVE THE SOFTBALL GAME OUT.
LET THE OPTIMIST CLUB PUBLISH THAT TO THEIR OWN MEDIA.
BECAUSE WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT'S PART OF THE PROCESS.
SO IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN MAYBE HAVE IT BY THE END OF THIS MONTH? OH, ABSOLUTELY.
YEAH, SO IF WE DON'T HEAR FROM BY MAY 31ST, THEN WE WILL SKIP THE SOFTBALL GAME.
UM, THE BASKETBALL FREE THROW, I FOUND A ORGANIZATION TO DO THAT AND RUN THAT FOR ME.
[00:05:01]
SO, UM, THEY WILL DO THAT AND I'LL, I'LL I'LL EMAIL YOU ALL THE TIMES.I DIDN'T BRING MY OTHER SHEETS.
UM, COOKIE CONTEST IS ALL PLANNED AND UM, DID KENDRA GET WITH YOU ABOUT TIMES? UH, SHE DIDN'T GIVE ME ANY TIMES OR THAT I KNOW SHE WAS GONNA WORK ON LIKE THE FLYER AND THE BROCHURE AND ALL OF THAT, UM, TO KIND OF HELP EASE THE BURDEN, WHICH IS GREAT.
UM, AND THEN SHE'LL SHARE THAT INFORMATION.
SO THE GIRL SCOUTS ARE GONNA DO A COOKIE CONTEST.
THEY'RE GOING TO, UM, HAVE ONE FOR, THEY'VE DECIDED NOT TO DO A TASTE DECK, UH, CONTEST UNLESS YOU ARE, UM, A BUSINESS, UM, JUST BECAUSE OF FOOD ALLERGIES FOR THE GIRLS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, BUT THEY'LL DO A DECORATING CONTEST.
ANYONE CAN ENTER AND THEN IF YOU HAVE A A, A BAKERY OR A BUSINESS, UM, THEN YOU CAN ENTER THE TASTE TASTING CONTEST AND PEACE AND TRANQUILITY.
OH NO, THE COMMUNITY CARES GOT THE AWARDS FOR THE CONTEST, SO THEY DONATED THAT.
UM, THE CORNHOLE, I'M STILL WAITING FOR A PHONE CALL BACK, SO IF I DON'T HEAR FROM THEM, WE'LL WE'LL NOT DO THAT EITHER.
ARE WE MISSING ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE NEED TO PLAN FOR THAT DAY? WELL, AT LEAST FOR THE CELEBRATION.
THAT, THAT'S PUT ON BY THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
UM, THEY HAD ASKED AT OUR LAST MEETING FOR ME TO FIND OUT IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO USE THE FIELD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE.
THEY'RE ON THE, I DON'T, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE COMING INTO THE PARK, THEY'RE ON THE, THE LEFT-HAND SIDE.
THEY WERE HOPING TO BE ABLE TO OVERFLOW INTO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE ROUTE.
AND, UM, I HAD ALREADY TALKED TO SARAH ABOUT THIS AND IT'S NOT AVAILABLE.
SO I, I'M TEXTING THEM RIGHT NOW TO SAY THAT THEY CANNOT USE THAT.
I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S GONNA BE A PROBLEM BECAUSE WE'VE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN PLENTY OF SPACE ON THAT ONE SIDE FOR THE NUMBER OF CARS THAT WE HAVE.
WE USUALLY HAVE ABOUT A HUNDRED CARS THOUGH, SO, UM, YOU KNOW, I, BUT I, I STILL THINK WE COULD ACCOMMODATE IT.
SO I, I'M LETTING THEM KNOW THAT, THAT THAT OTHER SPACE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE.
SO ARE WE GONNA LET EVERYONE KNOW WHAT VENDORS ARE COMING? YES.
UM, ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE CELEBRATION? THE PARADE? I HEAR THERE'S A, A CHANGE.
CORRECT? IS THERE A CHANGE TO THE PARADE? ARE WE LINING THEM UP NOW OR NOT? OH, SORRY,
UM, YEAH, SO WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA KEEP IT AS WE HAVE WITH JUST KIND OF LINING EVERYBODY UP.
SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO LIKE NUMBER AND, AND DESIGNATE.
SO WE'RE JUST GONNA, WE'RE GONNA ROLL WITH IT SO WE DON'T HAVE TO PRE-MARK THE SPACES SO THAT CAN CHANGE OUR SHOW UP TIME.
SO WHAT TIME WOULD WE HAVE TO BE THERE FOR THAT THEN? EXCUSE ME.
UM, I, WELL WE USUALLY START, THEY CLOSE THE ROAD AT NINE OR EIGHT, EIGHT.
SO I THINK WE'VE IN THE PAST, I FORGOT THERE AT 7 36 7 37, 7 30.
I THINK IT WAS SEVEN 30, I THINK IT WAS SEVEN 30.
AND WE HAD THE LARGER VEHICLES PARKED ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF CHAMBERSBURG.
JUST NEED PRINCIPAL'S GONNA BE THERE.
WE WILL HAVE TO SET CONES THOUGH, OR ARE THEY GONNA SET PINS? WE, THAT, THAT WAS THE BIG PROJECT LAST YEAR.
WHERE DID WE DO CONES AT THE INTERSECTION? THE, I THINK OF CHAMBERSBURG.
WELL, DIDN'T WE PUT 'EM BETWEEN THE ROWS? YEAH, WE HAD LANES HAD THEM LINE UP IN LANES.
WE USED CONES TO KIND OF SEPARATE THOSE LANES OUT.
SO IT SOMETHING WE HAD TO DO WHEN WE GOT IT, IT WAS SET UP ALL THOSE CONES.
YOU KNOW WHAT I COULD DO? IT COULD STEAL THE WAGONS FROM THE MM-HMM.
TRYING TO CARRY 'EM AND SET 'EM AND THINGS.
WE'LL GET THE WAGON, BUT WHY WE GONNA ASK FOR A VOLUNTEERS THE, UM,
[00:10:01]
WHAT DO YOU CALL 'EM, THE CADETS OR LITTLE YOUNG OFFICERS TO HELP OUT WITH THAT? WE DO ALL THE YOUNG MARINES.I THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING NO, YOU'RE CONFUSING THAT WITH THE MARIBEL FESTIVAL.
YEAH, I THOUGHT WE ALREADY ASKED THEM SOMETHING, BUT OKAY.
I PROBABLY WOULD, WE WOULD WANT TO THIS WEEK REACH OUT TO NICK LAMBERT AND SEE IF THEY CAN BE AVAILABLE FOR THE VILLE FESTIVAL.
WHAT ABOUT THAT? I THINK IN PARADE, I THINK HE'S ALREADY GIVEN THAT PERHAPS WE SHOULD COMMUNICATE WITH HIM.
I JUST SPENT POSTED SATURDAY WITH
WELL, WE NEED TO CONFIRM THAT THEY'LL BE THERE CUZ THEY REALLY ARE VERY HELPFUL WITH PARKING.
ESPECIALLY ONCE WE GET PAST THE, THE DESIGNATED PARKING ZONES.
IF WE HAVE TO GO OVER INTO THE FIELD AND STUFF, WE, WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO HAVE SOMEBODY THAT'S DOING THAT.
YOU THINK YOU'RE ABLE TO TALK TO 'EM AGAIN SINCE YOU JUST SO WE WANNA ASK THEM IF THEY'LL HELP AT THE PARADE AND OH, THE PARADE? I DON'T THINK WE OKAY.
I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT WE WERE DOING.
NO, NO, I WOULDN'T THINK WE DIDN'T NEED HELP AT THE PARADE.
YEAH, I WAS LIKE, I GOT IT CONFUSED.
YEAH, CUZ THEY, THEY CAN'T DO BOTH, I MEAN, YEAH.
SO WE'RE ASKING THEM FOR PARKING AT THE, AT, I WOULD SAY AT YEAH.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? AT THE PARADE? UH, INTERSECTIONS.
THEY HAVE CLOTHES OFF THE ROAD.
SO THEY, THEY'VE HELPED AT THE INTERSECTIONS TO MAKE SURE LIKE THAT.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS USUALLY A POLICE CAR THERE.
SO, BECAUSE I REMEMBER US PICKING UP THE CALLS AFTER THE PARADE AS WELL.
WE HAVE TO MOVE THEM OVER TO THE SIDE.
SO THE, UM, HUB WORKS HAD PICKED THEM UP.
I THINK WE DID THAT AS THE PARADE PULLED OUT.
WE RAN REAL QUICK AND PICKED THEM UP AND THEN JUST JOINED THE TAYLOR PARADE.
YEAH, THAT'S WHY I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA ASK FOR THE, FOR THEIR, UM, HELP.
WELL, AND WE'LL BE, WE'LL BE HAVING ANOTHER LOGISTIC MEETING SO I'LL MAKE SURE ALL THAT GETS SQUARED AWAY.
SO WE DON'T NEED TO REACH OUT.
UM, THE LETTER WAS SENT TO LAMBERT AND HIS CHIEF ABOUT, UM, BEING THE GRAND MARSHALL.
SO THAT'S ALL TAKEN CARE OF AND DONE.
THE ONLY THING I HAVE LEFT IS TO REACH OUT, UH, TO THE MAYOR AND ASK THEM IF THEY'LL, UM, RECOGNIZE HIM.
AND WHERE WILL THEY DO THE RECOGNITION? BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE PARADE OR THEY'LL PROBABLY DO IT AT A COUNCIL MEETING.
UM, DIDN'T YOU SAY WE WERE STILL GONNA HAVE LIKE A GRANDSTAND THIS YEAR WHERE THEY, SOMEBODY WAS ANNOUNCING WE'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT NOW? MM-HMM.
THERE WERE SOME NOTE ABOUT THE PRIZES.
I WAS OH, THE, FOR THE FLOATS.
OH, IS THAT THE FLOWERS? YEAH.
OH, SO THE CHAMBER IS STILL GONNA DO THAT.
SO YEAH, WHATEVER THOSE AWARDS, THE CHAMBER WILL STILL DO THE, THE PARADE, UM, AWARDS.
THEY TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING LAST YEAR, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.
WHAT ABOUT, WE SAID HANDOUT POSTCARDS AT THE PARADE? AT THE PARADE AND FESTIVAL STAFF WILL WORK ON THIS.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THIS WAS.
SO THE CONVERSATION WAS THAT WE HAD THE TRIFOLD, UM, AND THAT WE WERE GONNA PUT, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE YOU COME AND SEE US TONIGHT DOWN AT CLOUD PARK TYPE OF THING.
JOIN US FOR FUN TYPE OF THING.
UM, OH, DID YOU TALK TO, UM, CHERYL WILL WORK ON SPONSORSHIP OF PURCHASE OF A HUNDRED BOOKS TO GIVE ALONG THE OH, I LOOKED UP.
THE BOOKS AREN'T EVEN PUBLISHED YET.
[00:15:01]
I DID LOOK INTO IT.THEY, THEY HAVE A, A FUND ME PAGE TRYING TO GET THE PUBLICATION DONE.
SO THERE'S NO BOOKS REALLY TO PURCHASE.
SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT AGAIN.
UM, DID WE, DID WE GET SHIRT CHECK? UH, WORKING ON IT HERE?
AND, UM, SO THE SHIRTS DON'T COME IN BUTTER LIKE THESE SHIRTS.
UM, THEY DO HAVE A REALLY NICE RED THAT HAS A STRIPE THROUGH IT.
UM, AND AGAIN, THESE ARE, THESE ARE LIGHTWEIGHT.
I MEAN I WEAR 'EM WHEN WE HAVE 9,800 DEGREE WEATHER AT
UM, OR I CAN CONTINUE TO, TO LOOK FOR A FEW MORE AND WE'LL, IT SHOULD BE A QUICK TURNAROUND.
I HAD ONE I MEANT TO BRING TONIGHT TO SHOW US AND I, MY HASS GET HERE.
THIS WAS A BUTTON UP OXFORD STYLE SHIRT.
UM, WHAT SHOULD WE, WE, I THINK THE STYLE ISN'T THE PROBLEM.
IT'S THE COLOR THAT WE HAVEN'T SETTLED.
BECAUSE YOUR, YOUR SHIRT IS BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR MM-HMM.
WELL ACTUALLY, THE REASON I WAS GOING THIS ROUTE WAS, IT WAS AT THE TIME I GOT TWO YEARS AGO, IT WAS ACTUALLY A COUPLE DOLLARS LESS THAN THE POLO SHIRT WAS.
OH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ONE THAT YOU ALWAYS WEAR THAT'S GOT THE, THE IT'S COTTON, IT'S NOT STRETCHY.
IS THAT THE SHIRT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? IT'S THE COTTON POLYESTER BLEND.
BUT IT'S, BUT IT'S A BUTTON KNIT LIKE A, IT'S LIKE A DRESS SHIRT.
NO, I, I WOULD RATHER HAVE A KNIT, I THINK THAT WOULD BE WORKING.
I MEAN IT, YOU GUYS DO A LOT OF THOSE EVENTS IN THE HEAT.
SO LOOKING FOR ANY OF THOSE LIGHTWEIGHT, DRY, DRY WAKING TYPE OF SHIRTS, IT'S GONNA SAVE YOU.
SO, SO WE HAVE TO DECIDE ON THE COLOR TONIGHT WOULD BE GOOD.
WELL, I MEAN I'M STILL LOOKING FOR THAT BUTTER COLOR.
I THINK THE OTHER OPTION WAS THE LIGHT BLUE WAS THE OTHER DISCUSSION.
SO I'VE GOT TWO OPTIONS AND THAT, SO, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THE BUTTER COLOR WOULD IT BE, UH, EASILY RECOGNIZABLE FOR THAT'S MY BIGGEST STRAW.
I LIKE THE RED WHEN YOU'RE TALKING.
YES, BECAUSE WE WERE RED BEFORE.
SO, AND UM, THE PROBLEM WITH RED A BEING IT'S A DARK COLOR.
AND THEN SECONDLY, WE GOT SO MANY OHIO STATE FANS, SO MANY CINCINNATI REDS FANS THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WEARING RED.
SO WE WANTED TO DISTINGUISH OURSELVES FROM EVERYBODY ELSE.
WE'RE GONNA JUST BLEND IN WITH THE CROWD.
OR YOU CAN JUST LOOK LIKE YOU WORK AT TARGET.
WELL, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE HUBER HEIGHTS SIDE ON, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.
SO THE, IS THIS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DECIDE ON AT A MEETING? NO, I WILL, I WILL SEND OUT YOUR EMAIL OR SOMETHING.
I WILL SEND OUT THE, I WAS JUST GOING THROUGH OUR NOTES TO MAKE SURE WE, WE HIT EVERY TOP, LIKE WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO.
I, YEAH, DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT.
SO, OKAY, SO FOR THE PARADE, AS LONG AS WE'RE HERE BY SEVEN 30, EVERYBODY CAN BE THERE, CORRECT? YES.
AND THEN AFTERWARDS, UM, IS THE CELEBRATION.
UM, JUST CUZ I'M HELPING DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
UM, AND THEN WE NEED TO CREATE A ROTATION FOR THE INFORMATION BOOTH.
SO MAYBE I CAN MAKE A GOOGLE FORM.
AREN'T WE SHARING WITH THEM AGAIN THIS YEAR? I WOULD, YEAH.
THAT'S WHAT SHE JUST SAID TO OTHER POINTS.
SO, UM, YEAH, IT'S KIND OF ONE OF THOSE WHERE YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE ASKED TO HELP, YOU KNOW, WITH CULTURE AND DIVERSITY'S EVENTS.
SO YOU KNOW THAT THAT WHOLE GIVE AND TAKE THING.
SO, AND PARKS IS ON BOARD TO, UM, DO ALL THE FOOD TRUCKS.
AND UH, THE CHAIR KIND OF LOOKED AT ME LIKE I HAD THREE HEADS WHEN I TOLD 'EM THEY WERE 30.
[00:20:01]
SET 'EM UP.PARKS, PARKS WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT.
SO ONCE THE PARADE'S OVER, MOST OF EVERYBODY'S JOB, UNLESS THEY SIGN UP FOR THE INFORMATION BOOTH WILL BE OVER THAT DAY.
UNLESS THEY WANT TO PITCH IN SOMEWHERE ELSE.
SO IS THERE A PLACE OF THAT EXCEPT FOR THE INFORMATION BOOTH THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL? JUST SO THEY CAN THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY WANTED? UM, WELL I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL HELP, UM, OVER IN THE KIDS ZONE OR IF THERE'S, WE'LL BRING TONS OF VOLUNTEERS SO THAT'S COVERED.
UM, SO I'M AVAILABLE ANYTIME AFTER THE CAR SHOW? YEAH, I MEAN I WOULD, I WOULD SAY THAT IF THERE ARE, ARE, UM, PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CONTINUE TO HELP, I MEAN THEY CAN ALWAYS WALK AROUND AND DO TRASH DUTY.
UM, THAT'S DEFINITELY PROBABLY ONE OF THOSE THINGS, UM, THAT CAN BE EASILY MANAGED TYPE OF THING.
OR, UM, MAKING SURE THAT THE VENDORS ARE OKAY WITH WATER AND THOSE TYPE OF ASPECT.
OR IF THEY NEED A BREAK, SO THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
WILL WE BE ABLE TO JUST COME IN AND PARK OURSELVES BEING A BOARD, HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE PARKING LOT? OR DO YOU GUYS I'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE PARK ON THE BOARD.
I MEAN, YEAH CUZ WE HAVE A VENDOR.
YEAH, WE HAVE A VENDOR SPACE, SO.
AND AS LONG AS YOU'RE WORKING YOU CAN GET THAT PRIVILEGE.
HEY, AS SOON AS YOU STOP WORKING, YOU'RE OUT.
ANY MORE? ANYBODY HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS OR THOUGHTS OR IDEAS? OKAY.
FOLLOW A QUESTION HERE REAL QUICK.
UH, LAST YEAR, YOU KNOW, WE WERE HANDING OUT WATER TO PEOPLE.
WE RAN OUTTA WATER VERY EARLY.
IN FACT, I HAD TO RUN AND GET MORE WATER.
WE WERE HANDING IT OUT TO THE PUBLIC.
OH, I, I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER DONE THAT BEFORE.
WAS THAT THE CHAMBER THAT DID THE WATER OR WAS THAT SOMETHING AMBI PURCHASED? I THINK THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE CHAMBER HAD DONE.
IT'S JUST SOME OF OUR PERSON, WELL SOME OF OUR VOLUNTEERS, NOT ANYBODY ON THE BOARD, BUT YEAH, I THINK THAT, I THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CHAMBER THING.
UM, AGAIN, I CAN CHECK WITH THEM, BUT, UM, YEAH, I MEAN WE, WE SHOULD BE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE WATER THAT WE HAVE SHOULD BE FOR ANY OF THE VOLUNTEERS, VOLUNTEERS, VENDORS, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS AS OPPOSED TO JUST HANDING IT OUT TO ANYBODY THAT ASK.
CAUSE THAT'S WHEN THEY SAID WHEN IT WAS GONE, IT WAS GONE.
SO, SO THE ONLY OTHER DECISION THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE IS, UH, WHERE ARE WE HAVING IT? YES.
SO WE'LL NEED TO MAKE A MOTION ABOUT WHERE WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE BLAST ZONE.
UM, FOR THIS YEAR, COUNCIL HAS ASKED US TO DECIDE WHERE IT WOULD BE.
UM, EITHER IF IT STAYS IN THE PLACE THAT IT IS CURRENTLY, IT WILL HAVE TO CLOSE THE MEMORIAL.
UM, THERE AT CLOUD PARK, BECAUSE OF THE BLAST ZONE, THEY'VE ASKED US TO MOVE IT, WHICH WILL CHANGE SOME THINGS IN THE PLANS WE'VE MADE.
UM, AND IT WILL TAKE AWAY SOME PARKING AND OTHER FACTORS THAT WE'VE LOOKED INTO.
SO AS A BOARD WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION AND VOTE ON WHAT WE DECIDE.
I'LL, UH, MAKE A MOTION THAT WE STAY IN THE SAME AREA THAT WE'VE USED FOR THE LAST PAST 10 YEARS FOR, UM, THE FIREWORKS DISPLAY, WHICH WOULD FIT IN WITH OUR, UM, PLAN FOR, FOR THIS YEAR, SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR.
SO THERE'S, I I JUST WANNA RETAIN THE SAME AREA THAT WE'VE USED IN THE PAST.
THE THIRD, DO WE NEED TO HAVE DISCUSSION ON THAT OR ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONCERNS BEFORE WE VOTE? YEAH, I, I HAVE NO QUESTIONS ON THAT.
I JUST WOULD, BUT FOR THE RECORD TO SAY THAT AT THIS POINT IN TIME IT'S TOO LATE TO MOVE THAT.
UM, WE HAVE TO MOVE THE ENTIRE SETUP OF THE PARK.
AND WE CAN ALWAYS LOOK AT NEXT YEAR AS WE START, AS SOON AS UH, 4TH OF JULY IS OVER, WE CAN START LOOKING TOWARDS 2024 AND MAKE THOSE DECISIONS A WHOLE LOT EARLIER.
AND PERHAPS MAYBE THE JULY THE FOURTH WOULD ACTUALLY BE A BETTER DAY TO DO THE VETERANS HONOR 'EM.
SO WE HAD A FIRST AND A SECOND.
NOW I THINK YOU, DO YOU CALL FOR A VOTE? YES.
[00:25:03]
OH, WHAT DO I GOTTA SAY?ALL IN FAVOR? OH, ALL IN FAVOR OF NOT MOVING THE BLAST ZONE THIS YEAR.
SO WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL.
UM, LAST TIME WE HAD A COUPLE OF FOOD TRUCKS SIGNED UP AND NOW, SO AS OF TODAY I STILL HAVE ONE FOOD TRUCK AND I HAVE A FEW MORE VENDORS.
SO I HAVE 12 VENDORS, UM, THAT ARE ALL PAID.
I HAVE THREE THAT ARE STILL PENDING, SO THEY HAVEN'T PAID YET.
SO WE HAVEN'T DONE A WHOLE LOT OF PLANNING FOR THIS YET.
WE'VE KIND OF BEEN FOCUSED ON THE 4TH OF JULY.
I THINK ONE THING WE DID TALK ABOUT IS HAVING A SCHEDULE AGAIN LIKE WE HAD LAST YEAR AND HOW LIKE WE HAVE FOR THE 4TH OF JULY, UM, IS, AND IF ANYBODY THINKS OF ANY GREAT IDEAS THAT WE COULD DO FOR, UM, THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL, UH, THIS IS A GREAT, GREAT TIME TO BRING 'EM UP.
AND WE DO HAVE THE BAND, UH, MICHAEL, I'M DRAWING A BLANK ON THE LAST NAME.
UM, UH, CONTRACT'S ALREADY IN AND EVERYTHING AND THEN WE HAVE THE MAGICIAN THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR CUZ EVERYBODY REALLY ENJOYED HIM.
SO THAT CONTRACT IS IN AS WELL.
AND THEN, UM, THE WARRIOR ETS ARE ALSO, UM, ON A CONTRACT IF YOU WILL.
UM, SO THEY'RE GONNA DO THEIR THING FUN.
SO WE HAVE OUR ENTERTAINMENT ALL LINED UP.
UM, I SEE LAST WEEK'S NOTES THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT MOVING IT TO THE, TO THE CLOUD PART.
IS THAT STILL HAPPENING OR FOR WE'RE GONNA DISCUSS IT FOR 2024.
OH, I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE KEPT READING.
NO, WE WERE JUST TALKING CUZ IT'S GETTING BIGGER AND YOU KNOW, DO WE NEED A BIGGER SPACE? YEAH, BUT THAT'S FOR NOT THIS YEAR.
AND WE DID HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR OUR FULL TRUCKS ON THE GRASS THIS LAST YEAR, DIDN'T WE? WE DID.
IT WAS, YEAH, THERE WAS PLENTY OF CHANGE THAT WE HAD DID.
THAT WAS A REALLY NICE, WE SET THAT WAY.
LOTS OF PEOPLE COMMENTED ON HOW IT WAS SET UP LAST YEAR.
IT WAS ACTUALLY, IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO HAVE IT EXCEPT FOR THE PARKING
WELL WE CAN KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT.
PUT IT ON YOUR, YOUR LIST TO THINK ABOUT AND WE'LL KEEP WORKING TOWARDS THAT.
UM, ANYTHING WE SHOULD BE PLANNING AT THIS POINT FOR THAT GET THROUGH JULY.
I WAS GONNA SAY GET THROUGH THE PARADE.
LET'S, AND THEN WE'LL TURN AROUND AND HOT AND HEAVY AND DER OKAY.
THE PLANTERS FOR POLICE IN CITY HALL.
SO I HAVE A QUICK UPDATE ON THAT.
SO, UM, DEFINITELY THANK YOU TO TINA AND CHERYL FOR STEPPING UP, BUT LUCKILY WE HAVE SOME VOLUNTEERS THAT HAVE STEPPED UP.
WE HAVE A DAISY TROOP THAT IS EARNING SOME PETALS AND THEY'RE GOING TO, UH, PLANT AND MAINTAIN, UH, THE, THE PLANTERS FOR US.
SO, UM, THAT SHOULD BE VERY, UH, EXCITING.
AND THEN CHERYL'S GONNA BE OUR BACKUP.
AND THEN I DID WORK ON THE WATER SITUATION, SO I DID TALK TO PUBLIC WORKS.
UM, SO THEY'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A, A KEY SO THAT THEY'LL HAVE ACCESS AND YOU'LL HAVE ACCESS.
I HAVE A HOST, SO, AND YOU HAVE A HOST, SO YES.
DO WE KNOW WHAT NUMBER TROOP IT IS? OH, SORRY.
I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA ASK THAT
I WAS JUST GONNA GIVE THEM A SHOUT OUT.
SO, AND I DID TELL THEM WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL, UM, I'LL HAVE A LITTLE SIGN MADE.
UM, I'LL HAVE PUBLIC WORKS MAKE A SIGN TO PUT OUT THERE, UM, AS A THANKS AND SO THAT THEY GET NOTORIETY AND GET READY BECAUSE EVERYBODY WILL SEE 'EM EVERY TIME THEY COME TO CITY HALL OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
DO YOU KNOW WHEN THEY'RE PLANNING TO DO THAT? SO THEY ARE PLANNING TO DO THAT.
UM, IT'S THE SAME NIGHT THAT THE VETERANS HAVE THEIR MEETING THE VET, MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION.
JUST LONG AS I KNOW WHEN TO START CHECKING ON WATERING.
YOU'LL, AND THEY, THEY DID SAY THEY WERE GONNA HAVE LIKE SOME OF THE, UM, WATERING GLOBES AND THAT TO KIND OF ALSO HELP WITH THAT AS WELL.
SO I THINK IT'S PART SCIENCE EXPERIMENT AS WELL.
OKAY, SO I KNOW IT'S NOT ON HERE, BUT
[00:30:01]
YARD BEAUTIFICATION.WOULD THAT BE A GOOD TIME TO GIVE AN UPDATE ABOUT THAT? SURE.
I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT EARLY.
WE'RE GONNA START, START THAT.
ARE WE DOING THAT? I THINK WE DECIDED JUNE.
WHAT? WELL, IT'S, IT'S UP ON THE, THE WEBSITE.
I JUST HAVEN'T DONE ANY SOCIAL MEDIA PROMOTION OKAY.
SO, SO PE LOOKING OUT FOR SOME BEAUTIFUL G UH, YARDS AND NOMINATE THEM AND YOU CAN DO THAT THROUGH OUR WEBSITE.
AND THEN THAT ONE RUNS THROUGH 7 28 AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT, UM, WHAT WE MIGHT WANNA DO IS WHEN SOMEBODY MAKES A NOMINATION, UM, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOUR, YOUR FREE TIME IS, IF YOU SEE IT, UM, MAYBE GO OUT AND SNAP A PICTURE SO THAT IF WE DO HAVE A HOT SUMMER, THEN WE HAVE SOME PICTURES WHEN IT'S IN FULL FULL BLOOM.
SO IT WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS AS I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT, LIKE PHOTOGRAPHER, MAYBE PICTURES WOULD BE GOOD.
OUR COUNCIL QUARTERLY PRESENTATION WILL BE FIVE 16, SO I THINK THAT'S TOMORROW.
TOMORROW, TOMORROW AT 6:00 PM I, I GET TO OR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO COME.
UH, WE'RE JUST GONNA TELL COUNSEL WHAT WE'RE UP TO, WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON, HOW AN UPDATE ON HOW THINGS ARE GOING.

UM, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE WANT TO SHARE FOR COUNSEL? I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT THE YARD BEAUTIFICATION.
UM, PROBABLY WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE PLANTERS NOW.
UM, AND THE UPDATE FOR THE 4TH OF JULY.
I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO COME OUT.
WHAT TIME WILL THAT BE? UH, SIX O'CLOCK.
IT'S USUALLY FIRST THING ON THE AGENDA, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.
DO THEY DO ALL LIKE COMMITTEES ON ONE NIGHT OR DO THEY NO, SO EVERYBODY HAS A ROTATING SCHEDULE.
UM, SO THE, THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT ARE THE MOST ACTIVE COME QUARTERLY.
UM, JUST TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S CONSISTENT INFORMATION GOING OUT.
AND THEN THE ONES THAT ARE, UM, A LITTLE BIT MORE, NOT AS BUSY, UM, THEY COME LIKE ONCE A YEAR OH.

SO, UM, WE HAVE OUR MINUTES AND WITHOUT OBJECTION OR WE NEED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES, DON'T WE? WE JUST NEED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR THAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT? THIS IS A QUICK MEETING WITHOUT OBLIGATE, UH, WITHOUT OBJECTION.
