AND I WILL FAITHFULLY AND I WILL FAITHFULLY.
AND IMPARTIALLY DISCHARGED THE DUTIES AND IMPARTIALLY DISCHARGED THE DUTIES OF MY OFFICE, OF MY OFFICE.
THE BEST OF MY ABILITY TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.
ALL RIGHT, SO WE WERE EMAILED IN MINUTES, AND IF THERE ARE ANY CORRECTIONS, UH, WE'RE GOING TO GO WITHOUT ANY OBJECTIONS.
WE'RE GOING TO, UH, APPROVE THEM.
WHAT? YOU FORGOT TO TURN YOUR, SORRY.
WE'RE GONNA APPROVE THE MINUTES FOR MAY OF 2023.
IS THERE ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS? NO.
OH, WELL, I MEAN, I CAN INTRODUCE MYSELF HERE.
I JUST INTERVIEWED YOU TO JOIN THE COMMITTEE.
SO HOPEFULLY I'LL BE SEEING YOU SHORTLY.
AND I JUST WANTED TO COME AND SEE HOW IT'S ALL DONE.
IT'S ALREADY MORE THAN I WAS EXPECTING.
I WASN'T EXPECTING LIKE THIS BIG ROOM AND ALL THIS, SO I'M REALLY EXCITED TO BE A PART OF IT.
UM, DO WE NEED HER EMAIL OR HER ADDRESS OR ANYTHING? OKAY.
THE PARADE AND FESTIVAL DEBRIEF IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR I'D LIKE TO SUGGEST WE NOT HAVE RAIN NEXT YEAR.
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS THAT I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHERS THAT ATTENDED.
HOWEVER, TOWARDS THE END OF THE FESTIVAL, WE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO DO A WAY OF THE VENDORS LEAVING THE PARK BECAUSE THEY WERE LEAVING RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF OUR TENT WHERE WE HAD A LOT OF, UH, PEOPLE THERE GOING BACK AND FORTH.
AND THEY EVEN BLOCKED SOME PEOPLE WERE BLOCKING THAT LITTLE ENTRANCEWAY OF, OF COMING IN AND OUT THE PARK.
SO NEXT YEAR WE'RE JUST GONNA FOCUS ON, UM, A WAY TO ENTER THE PARK AND A WAY TO EXIT.
SAME WITH DURING THE FESTIVAL, DEFINITELY HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING THROUGH.
WE EVEN HAD PLACES WHERE VENDORS WERE CUTTING ACROSS THE FIELD.
AND, UM, NOT USING PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS TO MOVE VEHICLES.
THERE WAS EVEN A, A TIME AT, IT WAS DURING THE FIREWORKS AND WE STILL HAD OUR TENT UP IN THE KIDS AREA AND A CAR CAME IN FRONT BEHIND THE PORTA POTTIES WHERE PEOPLE WERE LAYING OUT WATCHING THE FIREWORKS WOW.
ON TOP OF THE GRASS TRYING TO GET OUT.
UM, IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
SO DEFINITELY BLOCKING SOME AREAS WHERE CARS WILL BE, UH, DETERRED FROM GOING ON WOULD BE A, A GREAT SUGGESTION.
ANYTHING? I KNOW THE RAIN KIND OF, IT WASN'T AS BIG BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE LEFT BECAUSE OF THE RAIN BEFORE IT EVEN STARTED.
I KNOW OUR AREA WAS MUCH SMALLER.
THE KIDS' AREA WAS MUCH SMALLER BECAUSE OF THAT.
BUT ANYTHING WE THINK WE CAN ADD FOR NEXT YEAR, YOU BEEN, I WOULD NOT HAVE NOTICED THAT IF YOU HADN'T TOLD ME THAT.
[00:05:01]
A GIANT PACMAN GAME, BUT IT WOULD JUST GOT RUINED IN THE RAIN.AND WE HAD A GIANT FOOSBALL WHERE YOU STAND AND YOU PLAY FOOSBALL, KICK IT.
UM, PEOPLE CAN PLAY IT AS A GIANT GAME, MINIATURE GOLF.
SO THERE WAS JUST THINGS WE COULDN'T PULL OUT IN THE RAIN.
I'M GLAD TO HEAR IT'LL BE SALVAGEABLE AND YEAH.
WERE THEY ABLE THE, UM, OUTSIDE GAME GAMES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT WE BROUGHT IN, WERE THEY ABLE TO SET EVERYTHING UP ULTIMATELY? I KNOW IN THE BEGINNING THEY WEREN'T, THEY WEREN'T PUTTING UP SOME OF THE RIDES AND I DIDN'T KNOW.
THEY HAD GREAT, GREAT LINES AND PEOPLE WERE THRILLED THAT THEY WERE FREE.
SO THAT WAS, THAT WAS A HUGE, HUGE BONUS.
UM, I MEAN, PEOPLE REALLY ENJOYED IT, SO.
AND THE WORKERS THEMSELVES, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THE ZIP LINE, THEY WERE VERY, VERY, VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT SAFETY CONCERNS.
AND THEY WERE VERY RELATABLE TO THE CHILDREN.
THAT WAS CINCINNATI CIRCUS, CORRECT? YEAH.
AND, AND WE HAD SOME GREAT PEOPLE THAT WE JUST WANNA TAKE A MINUTE AND THANK AND IF I FORGET SOMEONE, PLEASE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
UM, BOY SCOUTS, THEY DID THE FLAG RAISING.
THEY STOOD OUT THERE AND DID IT.
UM, PARK AND REC WAS THERE TO HELP AND VOLUNTEER.
CHRISTIE FROM, UM, DIVERS CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CAME OUT AND HELPED ALL THE VENDORS, FOOD TRUCKS.
THANK YOU FOR SETTING UP AND BEING PART OF IT, EVEN THOUGH IT RAINED.
UH, FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH, UH, HUBER HEALTH CENTER, THEY CAME OUT AND VOLUNTEERED, UH, FIRST STEPS PRESCHOOL, UM, THANKS TO ALL THE BANDS.
UM, COMMUNITY CARES VOLUNTEERED AND UH, GAVE SOME TROPHIES.
THEY DIDN'T GET TO DO THE COOKIE, UM, DECORATION CONTEST, BUT IT'LL BE THERE NEXT YEAR.
AND WE'LL USE THOSE TROPHIES, UM, OF COURSE TO THE A AND B BOARD.
UH, VOLUNTEERING YOUR TIME AND WORKING HARD.
UH, WE WANT TO THANK THE PREMIER HEALTH MOBILE UNIT FOR COMING OUT AND DOING HEALTH CHECKS.
UM, OF COURSE CINCINNATI CIRCUS AND, UM, I'M NOT SURE OF THE NAME OF THE PETTING ZOO.
UM, BUT THANK THEY CAME OUT TOO AND YEAH, THE KIDS LOVED IT.
AND OF COURSE, CITY COUNCIL, WE THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO DO THIS AND, UH, GIVING US THE GO TO MAKE IT BIGGER AND BETTER EVERY YEAR.
DID I MISS ANYBODY ELSE? EVERYONE THAT HELPED? I APPRECI.
UM, NEXT, UH, ON THE OLD BUSINESS IS THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL.
UM, THERE IS ONE THING I KNOW THAT WE DIDN'T GET TO USE FOR THE 4TH OF JULY BECAUSE THE RAIN WAS REMIX.
DO WE WANT TO SCHEDULE THEM FOR THE FESTIVAL? MARIGOLD FESTIVAL? UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TIME IN THE SCHEDULE TO HAVE THEM.
UM, SO I THINK WE MIGHT KEEP THEM FOR NEXT YEAR OR DO EVEN A DIFFERENT EVENT OR SOMETHING.
UM, CUZ I THINK THAT THEY'RE DEFINITELY A WORTHY, YOU KNOW, GROUP TO, TO BRING INTO THE COMMUNITY.
SO YEAH, OUR, UNFORTUNATELY, OUR SCHEDULE'S PACKED FOR MARIGOLD, SO I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT LIKE, BECAUSE WE CANCELED THEM, UM, BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEIR CONTRACT WAS.
THEY UM, I'LL JUST CALL HIM AND SEE WHAT OUR, OUR OPTIONS ARE.
UM, SO PLANNING FOR THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL.
TINA'S GOT SOME FLOWERS READY.
SO WE DO HAVE TO WORK ON, UM, THE SCHEDULE FOR THINGS WE WANT TO BRING IN.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS? I THINK WE'VE TALKED A LITTLE SOME THINGS, RIGHT? WHAT WAS IT AGAIN? UM, LIKE A SCHEDULE FOR THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL, LIKE THINGS THEY CAN DO.
WHAT'S OUR, I FORGET OUR, OUR TIMES.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M PULLING UP HERE.
I KNOW IF SOMEONE'S COMING TO DANCE ON THE STAGE, THE MAGICIAN.
WE'VE GOT THE MAGICIAN, WE'VE GOT THE BAND.
UM, NO, YOU SAY THE BAND, YOU MEAN THE HIGH SCHOOL BAND? YOU THEY, OKAY.
CAUSE I THINK AT ONE POINT WE TALKED ABOUT THE WARRIOR AT YEAH.
THE, UM, WE, OUR WARRIORS ARE COMING TO DO A CLINIC FROM I
[00:10:01]
THINK 1130 TO ONE 30.UM, SO THEY'RE GONNA DO A PERFORMANCE AND A CLINIC.
SO THE COMMUNITY WILL BE INVOLVED IN THAT.
AND THEN, UM, FROM, SORRY, I WAS TRYING TO PULL THIS UP HERE.
UM, DO WE WANNA DO ANY CONTEST? MAYBE WE COULD SEE IF THE GIRL SCOUTS ARE THEY WANNA DO THEIR COOKIE.
OH, THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.
I'LL REACH OUT TO THE GIRL SCOUTS.
DOES THE TROPHY SAY 4TH OF JULY ON IT OR NO? YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY WERE PRETTY GENERIC.
SO WE HAVE, UM, THE WARRIOR GIRLS FROM 1130 TO ONE 30, AND THEN WE HAVE THE MAGICIAN FROM TWO TO 2 45.
AND THEN POTENTIALLY THE WAYNE ALUMNI BAND, UM, FROM THREE TO FOUR.
AND THEN THE MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER BAND FROM FOUR TO SEVEN.
AND HOW LONG ARE WE TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR VENDORS? TILL BAND OF, UM, UP UNTIL, I BELIEVE IT'S LIKE A WEEK AND A HALF BEFORE OKAY.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE RIGHT AROUND ABOUT AUGUST 28TH, 20, SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE.
SO THE MAIN STAGE STUFF IS PRETTY MAIN STAGE IS BOOKED.
SO, SO REALLY IT'S JUST A LOT OF PUBLICITY FOR FILLING UP THE VENDOR SPACE, UM, GETTING THE REST OF THE FOOD TRUCKS ALL SIGNED UP.
AND THEN, UM, I THINK WE HAVE LIKE 30 VENDORS SIGNED UP FOR MARIGOLD.
I'VE GOT A FEW OF THE VENDORS THAT, UM, BECAUSE OF THEIR PRODUCTS, THEY COULDN'T SET UP AT STAR SPANGLED, SO THEY'RE SHIFTING OVER TO MARIGOLD, SO WE'LL.
WE'VE GOT A COUPLE THAT ARE DOING THAT.
DO WE WANT A KIDS AREA AGAIN? ARE WE INTERESTED? I THINK KIDS ZONE IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING.
DO WE HAVE ANYBODY TO HELP WITH PARKING? HMM.
LIKE THE EXPLORERS OR YOUNG MARINES OR WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO ASK SOMEBODY THEN.
YEAH, BECAUSE THAT IS, IT WAS A MESS.
IT'S REALLY HARD TO DO PARKING.
DID THEY HELP LAST YEAR? NO, WE DID.
NO, AND I, I MEAN, I'M HAPPY TO HELP, YOU KNOW, KIND OF SHOW 'EM WHAT TO DO, BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK OUT THERE ALL DAY.
AND WE WERE STRETCHED PRETTY THIN.
HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU, I'VE NEVER DONE PARKING.
HOW MANY PEOPLE DO WE NEED TO DO IT? WELL, IDEALLY WE WANT TO DO SHIFTS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? TWO OF EACH? EACH ENTRANCE? WELL, IF WE'RE GONNA DO IT THE SAME WAY, BUT I THAT, UM, TRYING TO DO A HANDICAPPED PARKING LOT, THAT WAS A BIG MISTAKE.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT'S WELL INTENTIONED, BUT THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE ABLE-BODIED PEOPLE THAT CAME UP AND HAD THOSE PLACARDS AND WERE, BUT WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T WEED THAT OUT.
AND UNFORTUNATELY WHEN WE DIDN'T USE THAT SPACE FOR HANDICAPPED, THEY BROUGHT THE SENIORS OUT.
PEOPLE COULDN'T, PEOPLE COULDN'T GET ACROSS THAT HILL.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A HANDICAP, WE HAVE TO HAVE A HANDICAP SECTION IN THE, YOU KNOW, UP CLOSE TO THE PARK.
SO I DON'T KNOW ANY WAY TO AVOID THAT.
NO, I JUST REALLY DIDN'T SEE VERY MANY PEOPLE WHO TRULY WERE HANDICAPPED ACTUALLY USING THAT.
NO, WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T DISCRIMINATE.
BUT, UM, YEAH, I AT LEAST TWO AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE AND I WOULD SAY TWO HOUR SHIFTS IS IS PROBABLY ABOUT A MAX.
BUT SOMETHING WE PROBABLY SHOULD DO IS MAKE THOSE VENDORS AWARE THAT HEY, YOU KNOW, THAT'S FOR HANDICAPPED.
THAT'S NOT FOR YOU TO GET EASY.
WELL THE VENDORS ARE DOWN AT THE OTHER, WELL I'M TALKING ABOUT FOR THE FOOD TRUCKS.
I MEAN, A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE COME IN AND GO ON WHERE? ACTUALLY RUNNING THE FOOD TRUCKS.
COMING INTO THE HANDICAP SECTION.
OH, I'M, I DIDN'T WORK DOWN THERE, SO I DON'T, I'M NOT AWARE OF THAT.
THAT'S WHY I WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, SOMEHOW WE NEED TO GET THE POINT ACROSS, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE THE FOOD TRUCKS OVER IN THE, LIKE THE, THE
[00:15:01]
ONE SIDE OF THE AMP, THE, LIKE THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE THEATER.IN THE GRASS? WE HAD 'EM IN THE GRASS.
THAT WAS A GOOD SPOT FOR THEM WAS THE GRASS.
I, I COULDN'T REMEMBER HOW IT WAS LAST YEAR.
WE CHANGED EVERYTHING LAST YEAR.
AND I COULD, I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER HOW IT WAS.
SO YOU WANNA KEEP THE LAYOUT THE SAME WITH THE VENDORS BACK IN THE AQUATIC CENTER PARKING? YES.
THAT WAS THE ONE WAS I THOUGHT IT WORKED.
I THOUGHT THAT WORKED REALLY WELL.
HORSESHOE AND THEN THE KID ZONE.
WHERE WAS THAT LAST YEAR? THIS IS OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WAS THE PLAYGROUND? YEAH, THE PLAYGROUND.
AND I THINK IT EVEN TOOK UP SOME OF THE PARKING LOT THERE, BUT RIGHT.
I CAN KEEP IT ON THE GRASS SO IT DOESN'T TAKE PARKING AWAY.
BUT WE ALSO HAD A CHALK PERSON THERE TOO.
DON'T OH, THAT WE DID HAVE A CHALK PERSON THERE LAST TIME.
BUT EVEN IF, I THINK SHE REALLY DID IT ON THE SIDEWALK.
I MEAN, UNLESS WE WANNA KEEP THAT AREA IN CASE KIDS RUN OUT THERE.
BUT I MEAN, DO YOU, DO YOU WANNA FENCE IT? THAT WOULD BE GOOD.
OR DO WE HAVE A UM, FENCED AREA FOR THE LIKE BEER? LIKE ARE WE HAVING A BEER TRUCK OR ANYTHING? WE'RE NOT.
SO WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE ANY FENCED AREA FOR THE FOOD.
HOW MANY FOOD VENDORS DO WE HAVE? UH, RIGHT NOW WE ONLY HAVE A COUPLE TRUCKS SIGNED UP.
BUT THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN, IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN SET UP A PARKING AREA FOR THE FOOD TRUCKS? YOU KNOW, AS THEY RUN OUT OF FOOD THEY'VE GOTTA GO GET SUPPLIES GET AND THEY NEED TO GET IN AND OUT.
WELL THAT'S WHAT THE VENDOR PARKING IS FOR.
WHICH IS DOWN BY THE AQUATIC CENTER.
I'LL JUST BE CLEAR IN THE DIRECTIONS.
MY PERSONAL OBSERVATION, I DIDN'T SEE A LOT OF, I MEAN I SAW MORE OF THE FOOD TRUCK VENDORS COMING AND GOING FROM THAT HANDICAPPED PARKING SPACE.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAN I DID FROM THAT.
WE'LL, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S CLEAR FOR THEM.
WOULD SOMEBODY CARE TO MAKE A A SIGNUP SHEET FOR, FOR US TO DO LIKE DIRECT TRAFFIC AND MAYBE WE CAN REACH OUT TO EVEN TO THE EXPLORERS AND SEE IF THEY WANNA HELP SOME YEAH, IF WE CAN GET LIKE THE EXPLORERS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
I MEAN IF THERE'S A CONTACT POINT I'M HAPPY TO CALL 'EM AND, BUT AT LEAST WHEN YOU'RE NOT OUT THERE THE WHOLE TIME, LIKE I'LL TAKE TWO HOURS SOMEBODY ELSE CAN TAKE YEAH, PRETTY MUCH.
I THINK I DID IT LAST TIME AND IT WAS, IT WAS THE LAST YEAH, I WILL, UM, I, AND I THINK THEY'RE FINE ONCE THEY GET SOME DIRECTION, YOU KNOW, BUT WE WOULD PROBABLY NEED AT LEAST SIX PEOPLE, AT LEAST WITH THOSE, PROBABLY MORE LIKE 10.
AND WE REALLY NEED TO MAKE OURSELVES AVAILABLE AT THE INFORMATION BOOTH AND THEN PATROLLING THE AREA JUST TO MAKE SURE OUR VENDORS, YOU KNOW, IF THEY NEED ASSISTANCE WITH ANYTHING OR, OKAY.
LAST YEAR WE ADVERTISED OUR ART SHOW IN FEBRUARY AT THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL.
WE READY TO DO THAT AGAIN? YEAH, WE HAVE, I THINK WE DID HAVE LIKE FOUR FORMS EVEN FOR PEOPLE DON'T BUY AND I DON'T KNOW WHY WE COULDN'T.
ALL WE GOTTA DO IS PICK A DATE IN FEBRUARY.
SO VALENTINE'S DAY IS ON WEDNESDAY.
YEAH, WE 13TH IS ON WEDNESDAY.
SO WE CAN DO WE DO IT THE WEEK BEFORE? DO IT THE WEEK BEFORE OR DO IT ON THE 17TH.
I CAN'T THINK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THE 10TH.
I MEAN I THINK THAT'S WHEN MOST PEOPLE ARE GONNA WANT TO GO OUT AND DO THEIR VALENTINE'S DINNERS AND ALL THAT KINDA STUFF.
SO I'M KIND OF SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
YEAH, YOU GOTTA CHECK AND MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS AVAILABLE.
OKAY BECAUSE WE'RE NOT TAKING RESERVATIONS YET.
OH, AND THE THE ONE OTHER THING I WAS THINKING OF THAT WE GOTTA DECIDE HOW WE'RE GONNA HANDLE YOUR MIRACLES.
ARE WE GOING TO LIKE WRAP ONE MAYBE OR WE'RE NOT SELL 'EM SELL 'EM.
WE COULD, YOU KNOW WHAT WE COULD DO? I HAD TO BUY MORE DIRT.
WHY DON'T WE DO THIS? WE COULD SET UP A BOOTH AND JUST TAKE DONATIONS FOR SUPPLIES FOR NEXT YEAR FOR THE MARIGOLDS AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.
YOU WOULD YOU RATHER SELL? WE'LL SEE HOW IT, IT EITHER WAY PEOPLE WOULD
[00:20:01]
COME UP TO ME AND SAY, ARE THEY FOR SALE? I'LL SAY FOR DONATION.HOW ABOUT THAT? I THINK FOR DONATIONS BECAUSE IF THEY WANNA PURCHASE THEN WE HAVE TO EXCHANGE.
JUST SAY A DONATION IF YOU'D LIKE TO.
WE CAN ALL SET 'EM UP AT THE DONATION.
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT KIND OF CAUGHT US OFF GUARD LAST YEAR,
I'M HOPING THEY BE AS BEAUTIFUL THIS YEAR.
THEY CAN'T TAKE 'EM HOME UNTIL AFTER THE FESTIVAL.
WELL FOR YOU CAN ALWAYS DO LIKE A SILENT AUCTION AND THEN HAVE THEM GET AT THE END WHEN YOU WANT PEOPLE TO PICK THEM UP, THEY HAVE TO BE THERE TO WIN 'EM.
I THINK WE SHOULD GO WITH THAT.
AND THEN WE CAN ALWAYS, WHAT DO WE WANT TO PUT THAT INTO OUR OPERATING FUND OR DO WE WANT TO PICK A CHARITY FOR THAT MONEY TO GO TO? YEAH.
COULD WE SELL RAFFLE TICKETS AND NOT CAUSE A BIG I'LL INQUIRE.
CUZ IF WE COULD SELL RAFFLE TICKETS FOR LIKE, AND WE'RE GONNA FIVE FOR FIVE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
DONATIONS BETTER, BUT THEN THEY'RE GONNA WANT TO TAKE IT WITH THEM WHEN THEY GO.
NO, WE'LL JUST SAY AT THE END.
I I DIDN'T HAVE A, WE DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM THE LAST TWO YEARS.
I THINK DONATIONS IS A GOOD IDEA.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN THINK OF THAT WE WANTED TO ADD TO THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL? WERE WE DOING THE, OH GOODNESS, I CAN'T EVEN THINK OF WHAT THE COURT HALL.
THE, WE, WE WERE GONNA CONTACT THAT PERSON.
DID YOU EVER FIND OUT? SO I GOT HIS NAME AND NUMBER, BUT I DID NOT REACH OUT TO BE HONEST.
SORRY, DO YOU WANT ME TO, I MEAN IF YOU THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
YEAH, SEND ME THE INFORMATION, TEXT IT TO ME OR JUST GIVE IT TO ME AFTER THE THING AND I'LL DO IT.
BECAUSE HE, HE DID, HE DID HAVE IT VERY ORGANIZED AND IT RAN VERY SEAMLESSLY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY GOOD IDEAS FOR A GOOD FESTIVAL ACTIVITY? MAYBE WE'RE THINKING CORN HOLE COMPETITION, UH, GIRL SCOUT COOKIE COMPETITION, DECORATING ANYTHING NOT TO THROW YOU UNDER THE BUS OR ANYTHING SINCE YOU JUST GOT HERE.
I FEEL LIKE I'M UNDER THE BUS.
WELL IF YOU THINK IT'S SOMETHING BY NEXT MEETING THAT WE GET
AND I THINK THAT'S, ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? CONCERNS? UPDATES? OKAY.
NEW BUSINESS IS SANTA AND FRIENDS DISCUSSION FORM.
SO WE HAVE UM, HAD SOMEONE INQUIRE ABOUT BEING THE SANTA CREW, UM, FOR TREE LIGHTING.
AND WE VOTED LAST TIME TO HAVE A REQUEST FORM MADE.
I KIND OF, UH, MADE ONE, BUT WE CAN LOOK AT IT AND DECIDE WHAT WE WANNA KEEP, WHAT WE DON'T WANNA KEEP, UH, PRETTY GENERAL INFORMATION, NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, WORK CELL, EMAIL.
UM, AND THEN A COUPLE QUESTIONS.
HAVE YOU VOLUNTEERED FOR SANTA OR THE HOLIDAY CREW BEFORE? DO YOU OWN YOUR OWN COSTUME? DO YOU LIVE IN HUBER HEIGHTS? WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO DO A BACKGROUND CHECK THROUGH THE CITY? WHICH I THINK IS IMPORTANT IF WE HAVE A SANTA OR CREW DRESSED UP IN OUTFITS TO BE BACKGROUND CHECKED.
SO THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I'M HOPING.
AND ARE YOU WILLING TO BE AT THE EVENT THE WHOLE TIME? I KNOW A COUPLE TIMES.
UM, WE JUST WANT 'EM TO BE THERE.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THROUGH ALL THE KIDS IN THE LINE BEFORE THEY HAVE TO GO.
UH, WE ASK FOR REFERENCES AND EMERGENCY INFORMATION IN CASE ANYTHING EVER HAPPENED TO THE SANTA.
JUST THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO HAVE IT HANDY.
ANYTHING WE SHOULD ADD TAKE AWAY? NOT IMPORTANT.
AND TO THE POINT, IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN BY THE INFORMA? YEAH.
IN CASE THEY, I WAS THINKING IF SOMEBODY'S THERE DOING SANTA AND HE HAS AN EMERGENCY, LIKE WHO ARE WE GONNA CALL? MM-HMM.
[00:25:01]
HERE AT THE TOP WITH ALL THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION.I, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED REFERENCES, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
I GUESS THAT COULD BE A GOOD, WE CAN TAKE IT OFF.
SHOULD WE HAVE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN WHETHER THEY'VE DONE IT AT ALL AS SANTA BEFORE OR WHETHER, I MEAN, IS THE, ARE WE ASKING IF THEY'VE DONE SANTA WITH HUBER HEIGHTS BEFORE? RIGHT.
I WAS JUST, I WAS JUST PUTTING IT ON THERE.
I JUST, I MEAN WE CAN CLARIFY.
I, I BROUGHT THIS FOR LIKE, THIS IS THE DISCUSSION STARTER.
IS THIS JUST AN APPLICATION FOR SANTA OR DOES IT HAVE SELECT WHICH ONE THAT YOU'RE APPLYING FOR.
I WASN'T SURE IF WE WANTED ONE JUST FOR SANTA OR OTHER CHARACTERS.
I MEAN, IF WE'RE GONNA SHOULD FOR THE OTHER CHARACTERS, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
BUT IS THAT WHY YOU HAVE HOLIDAY CREW IN PARENTHESES? WELL THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA ASK YOU GUYS, WHAT YOU THOUGHT, UM, WOULD BE BEST.
SO THEN THEY CAN CREATE WHAT THEY, WHAT PART THEY WANNA PLAY.
THEY DON'T LET US WHAT THEY I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD.
I KNOW SOME PEOPLE DRESS UP AS GRINCH RIGHT.
AND DO A WHOLE THING WITH THAT AND UM, FROSTY.
SO ARE WE GONNA ASK EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO BE PART OF THE TREE LIGHTING IF THEY WANNA DRESS UP TO DO THIS? OR IS THIS JUST GONNA BE SANTA? I THINK WE SHOULD ASK ANYONE.
I MEAN FOR, WE MAY HAVE SOMEONE COME FORWARD WITH AN IDEA THAT WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF.
THAT COULD BE A VERY GOOD IDEA.
I THINK SOMEBODY, SOME YEARS BACK DID THE FROZEN MOVIE THING.
UH, WE DID HAVE A FROZEN, UH, ELSA AND HER ANNA.
AND THEY DRESSED UP AND WALKED AROUND.
I THINK WE PAID DID WE? I I CAN'T REMEMBER.
WAS THAT IN A MOVIE? WAS IT? I CAN'T REMEMBER.
I KNOW WE HAD HAD THE CHARACTERS.
I DON'T REMEMBER HOW WE GOT THEM THOUGH.
I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN THE MOVIE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW CHRISTMAS RELATED IT IS.
BUT SOMEBODY, I WOULD SAY IF IT'S SOMEBODY THAT'S VOLUNTEERED BEFORE THAT WE'VE HAD ON THERE, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO A BACKGROUND CHECK AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT I, I THINK THAT THIS IS A GOOD, I MEAN IT'S GENERAL INFORMATION.
WE'RE NOT GONNA DO A BACKGROUND CHECK ON SOMEONE THAT'S ON COUNCIL OR SOMETHING LIKE WELL IF THEY, I MEAN SOMEBODY WE ALREADY, ALREADY HAD.
IF THEY HAVE ALREADY HAD IT THROUGH THE CITY, SHE'S TALKING ABOUT NEW PEOPLE.
BECAUSE IF WE'RE GONNA PUT IT OUT THERE FOR, OH, EXCUSE ME, FOR EVERYBODY AND YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND SERVE.
BECAUSE IF YOU'RE IN COST CHAIR, THEY'RE GONNA BE AROUND CHILDREN, THEY'RE GONNA BE AROUND REPRESENTING THE CITY.
THERE'S SOME ACCOUNTABILITY LIKE I AGREE.
AND THEN YOU WANT, YOU CAN EMAIL ME THIS AND I CAN UPDATE IT FOR YOU.
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ON HERE THAT YOU'D NEED TO RENEW NECESSARILY.
ANYTHING ELSE SARAH, THAT WE WOULD NEED CITYWIDE LIKE OKAY.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? SO WE WILL GET THAT TOGETHER AND THEN WHEN CAN WE POST IT, UM, FOR, TO OPEN IT UP FOR PEOPLE? SO DO YOU WANNA DO IT THROUGH THE CITY FORMS? LIKE WHAT WE DO FOR ALL THE OTHER STUFF? OKAY.
SO AS SOON AS YOU GUYS GET ME THAT INFORMATION, WE CAN THEN PUT IT OUT THERE.
WELL AND UM, WHEN I WAS WRITTEN AND ASKED LIKE WHAT OUR TIMELINE WAS AND I THINK WE CAN MAKE A DECISION BY SEPTEMBER TO UM, AND VOTE ON THE PERSON.
WE CAN GIVE IT SOME TIMELINES AND WHEN EVERYBODY HAS TO TURN IT IN.
SO I'LL SEND THIS TO YOU TOMORROW.
AND WE'LL GET IT TO YOU AS SOON AS WE CAN BACK BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? SHOULD WE LEAVE IT? OPEN IT UP? I WOULDN'T SAY LEAVE IT OPEN FOR THREE WEEKS POST IT.
BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE ARE GETTING BUSY WITH WHAT THEY'RE RIGHT.
PEOPLE ARE MAKING, YEAH, THEY'RE MAKING PLANS.
SO WE CAN TRY TO GET THIS DONE AS FAST AS WE OKAY.
AND THEN THIS WILL BE THE, HOPEFULLY WHAT WE'LL DO FROM NOW ON AND SOMETHING THAT WE PROBABLY OUGHT TO GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO IS WE HAD SUCH A LONG LINE THE LAST TWO YEARS.
IF WE COULD HAVE, IT WOULDN'T HURT TO HAVE TWO TENTS WITH A SANTA IN EACH TENT.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA FOR THE KIDS.
MY PERSONAL OPINION TO SEE TWO DIFFERENT.
YEAH, I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.
I DON'T UNLESS THERE'S THEY HAVE ONE.
UNLESS THERE WOULD BE A WAY OF COMPLETELY SEPARATING THEM SO THAT, WELL THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
[00:30:01]
CAN Z KIDS OF SANTA B I THINK ONE SANTA.I MEANT ON THAT NOTE WITH ONE SANTA, THEN WE CAN PROBABLY HAVE A DIFFERENT STATION MAYBE WITH MS. CLAUS SERVING HIGH CHOCOLATE.
WE CAN HAVE ANOTHER STATION WITH ANOTHER CHARACTER.
AND ARE WE GONNA STILL HAVE A NO I'M THINKING HARVEST FAST.
AND THE ONLY OTHER CONSIDERATION I WOULD THINK OF IS THAT THERE MIGHT BE AN OPTION TO HAVE TWO SANTA'S ONE IN THE PARADE.
CUZ WE'RE ALWAYS WAITING FOR SANTA TO GET THERE FROM THE PARADE.
CAUSE DON'T THEY HAVE A PARADE BEFORE THE NO, THE PARADE'S AFTER TREE LIGHTING PARADE'S AFTER, AFTER THE TREE LIGHTING.
WELL WE HAVE IN PAST YEARS WE HAD A, FOR THE SANTA PARADE TO THE CITY PARADE.
OH, I THOUGHT THERE WAS DID, WAS SANTA BROUGHT ON BY A FIRE TRIP? UHHUH A COUPLE TIMES.
BUT I THOUGHT THEY DID SOMETHING BEFORE THEY GOT THERE BECAUSE IT'S AFTER IN 21 WE HAD, UM, SANTA WENT AND MADE A VISIT AT EACH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE CITY.
MAYBE THAT'S WHAT I'M REMEMBERING.
I THOUGHT THEY HAD SOME COMMITMENT PRIOR TO THE TREE LIGHTING, BUT I DUNNO.
SO DO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THAT? NO.
SO YOU WANT, SO APPLICATIONS THEN WOULD BE OPEN UNTIL WHAT? THE 18TH OF AUGUST.
SO THAT THEN AT THE MEETING ON THE 21ST, IS THAT WHEN YOU'RE GONNA REVIEW THEM? OR DO YOU WANNA REVIEW THEM PRIOR AND ANNOUNCE HOW DO YOU WANNA OH CAN WE AND CAN WE HAVE UH, REVIEW THEM BEFORE A MEETING AND THEN MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE MEETING? REVIEW THEM? I MEAN, UNLESS THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF THEM, RIGHT? I MEAN, I DON'T THINK, I MEAN I CAN KEEP YOU GUYS POSTED AS THEY COME IN, SO.
SO DO YOU WANNA SAY TENTATIVELY? TENTATIVELY, SO WE WOULD BE PICKING THE SANTA AT THE SEPTEMBER 18TH MEETING.
DO YOU WANNA DO IT IN, DO YOU WANNA PICK IN SEPTEMBER OR DO YOU WANNA PICK IN AUGUST? IF WE COULD PICK IN AUGUST, I THINK THAT WOULD EVEN BE BETTER.
WE HAVE CLOSE IT ON THE CAUSE PEOPLE ARE PLANNING.
YEAH, I SUPPOSE WE COULD JUST PUT THE APPLICANTS OUT.
WELL EMAIL AND, AND I'LL KIND OF GET A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO AT THE MEETING AND WELL, MY THOUGHTS ARE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL, WE'VE UH, WE MAY HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT REGARDING THE MA MARIGOLD FESTIVAL.
THAT'S KIND OF PUTTING A LOT ON OUR PLATE TRYING TO DO PICK A SANTA AT THAT MEETING, WHEREAS SEPTEMBER 18TH WE'LL HAVE MORE TIME TO DISCUSS THAT IF NEED BE.
THAT'LL ALSO GIVE US TIME IF WE NEED TO DO BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR NEW PARTICIPANTS.
SO, SO WE DON'T BE RUSHING DO THINGS IN ORDER.
SO OUR DEADLINE WOULD BE ON THE 18TH OF AUGUST AND WE CAN MAKE THAT DECISION IN SEPTEMBER.
PUT IT THAT WE WILL ANNOUNCE OUR DECISION IN AT THE SEPTEMBER MEETING.
AND THE 18TH IS ON A FRIDAY BECAUSE IF WE DO HAVE TO DO BACKGROUND CHECKS THAT'S TRUE.
AND THEN THAT'LL GIVE THEM TIME IF THEY NEED TO MAKE YOU, UM, CUS UM, COSTUMES AND EVERYTHING FOR THEIR OKAY.
OKAY, SO YOU WANNA CLOSE THE APPLICATION ON WHAT DATE? AUGUST 18TH? IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID? YES.
WELL THAT'S, THAT'S JUST CLOSING THE FORM DOWN.
SO WE'RE GONNA THROW IT OUT THERE.
TAKE THE FORM AWAY ON THE 18TH.
AND THEN THAT GIVES US THE MONTH TO THEN MS. SARAH WILL, SARAH WILL SEND US THE APPLICANT AND THEN WE CAN START TO REVIEW THEM AS THEY COME IN.
SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO.
SHE JUST SITS THERE IN HER OFFICE ALL THE TIME LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO.
IT IS A WELL OR ORDERED MACHINE RIGHT THERE.
NEXT IS ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SANTA IN DISCUSSION FORMS? WE'RE DONE WITH THAT, RIGHT? NO.
WHO WILL BE THERE? I WILL NOT.
[00:35:01]
THAT'S ON THE 21ST.WHICH THIS IS AT THE EICHELBERGER SO WE DON'T HAVE TO LIKE DIRECT TRAFFIC.
IT'S, IT'S REALLY PRETTY EASY TO GET THAT WAY.
ARE YOU GOOD TO HAVE MOVING GUYS? NOPE.
REALLY ALL WE GET TO DECIDE IS IF WE'LL DO A RAFFLE OR NOT.
AND OTHERWISE IT KIND OF RUNS ITSELF.
DID YOU SAY YOU'RE DOING POPCORN AT EVERY MOVIE? IS THAT YOU? WE'LL DO POPCORN AND UM, I WILL HAVE YARD GAMES, SO.
AND WE'VE GOT ITEMS THAT WE CAN DO FOR A RAFFLE TO RAFFLE.
I THINK THAT'S ALL YOU REALLY NEED.
SO ME AND CHERYL, ANYBODY ELSE GONNA GET TO THE BE BE THERE? COME RIGHT, COME MEET.
HEY, WE JUST GET TO HANG OUT AND HAVE FUN.
JUST TO CLARIFY, IS THIS ONE IS AT BERGER? YES.
AND THE AUGUST ONE WILL BE THE I BELIEVE SO.
YEAH, I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE SCHEDULE.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH ONE SHOULD BRING NOTES.
I SHOULD BRING MY NOTES, BUT I DON'T YEAH, AUGUST 18TH.
OH, WOULD BE, UH, AT CLOUD PARK AND HERE ON THE 21ST IT BE IBERG.
OKAY, SO WE'RE PRETTY SET UP FOR RECIT RALPH.
UM, I THINK WE WOULD LIKE TO DO A RAFFLE.
YEAH, I'VE GOT YES, WE CAN DO THAT.
YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T DO THE RAFFLE WITH, I THINK WE PUT ALL THIS STUFF DOWN THERE IN THE, I THINK, UM, DATE CHANGE FOR OCTOBER.
SO WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A MOVIE IN OCTOBER, BUT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE IT ON SEPTEMBER 30TH BECAUSE THAT CORRELATES WITH THE DATE FOR BITES AND THE HEIGHTS.
SO WE WILL BE SHOWING INDIANA JONES ON THE BIG SCREEN, UM, THE, UH, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARC.
SO WHEN'S THAT SEPTEMBER BE A GOOD TIME? SEPTEMBER 30TH.
SO NO MOVIE NIGHT FOR OC OCTOBER? YES.
SO WE HAVE TWO MOVIES IN EPTEMBER.
SO WE WILL HAVE TWO MOVIES IN S SEPTEMBER, TWO MOVIES IN SEPTEMBER.
THAT WILL MAKE THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY HAPPY.
THEY'VE BEEN SWEATING ON
YEAH, THAT'LL WORK SEPTEMBER 30TH.
SO MORE, MORE DETAILS ON BITES AND THE HEIGHTS AND ALL OF THE FULL DAY ACTIVITIES TO COME.
ALL THE STUFF THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT.
NOW LAST YEAR THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION WITH WHERE EVERYBODY WAS.
WE WILL HAVE IT ALL IRONED OUT.
SO I'M WORKING, WORKING WITH MIMI ON ALL THEIR DETAILS, SO, OKAY.
UM, SO OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE AUGUST 21ST.
OH, I FORGOT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE YARD BEAUTIFICATION PROGRAM.
OH, WE'VE, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
I THOUGHT IT WAS ON THE SCHEDULE.
