IS THERE SOMETHING THAT'S EASIEST? I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER HAD THIS MANY.
HOW MANY THERE? I THINK THERE WAS LIKE AT 16 OR SO.
WELL, SOME, THERE WERE SOME DUPLICATES, UM, OF PEOPLE NOMINATED BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE, BUT THERE WERE SIX.
UM, WE PUT LIKE, WHO GOT THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW.
YEAH, BECAUSE I HAD MULTIPLE, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS, YOU KNOW, MULTIPLE RIGHT.
I WOULD SAY WHATEVER'S EASIEST FOR YOU AS GETTING THAT INFORMATION OUT.
ARE YOU GUYS, IS THERE A CERTAIN WAY YOU WANT IT? I'M FINE WITH THAT.
I AGREE WITH AMANDA JUST NOTING THE MULTIPLES AND LIKE HOW MANY OF THIS, YOU KNOW, JOHN DOE HAS FOUR AND YOU KNOW, JOHN SMITH HAS TWO.
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THAT OUT BY THE END OF THE MEETING TONIGHT, SO THANK YOU.
UM, WELL AFTER THE MEETING TONIGHT, DIRECTLY AFTER.
SO, UM, THEN ALSO ON ONE OTHER UPDATE THAT I HAD IS WE HAD A REQUEST TO IN KIND SPONSOR FROM MOODY MOS BALLOONS.
SHE'S A LOCAL BALLOON ARTIST AND SHE DOES PARTIES AND ACTIVITIES AND SUCH AND SHE WOULD LIKE TO DO THE STAGE.
UM, SO WE'RE TAKING HER UP ON THAT OFFER AS LONG AS THERE'S NO OBVIOUS OBJECTIONS.
'CAUSE I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY COOL TO HAVE BALLOONS OUT THERE.
AND I'M JUST GETTING THE STAGE SCHEMATICS OVER, UM, TO HER.
SO THAT IS LIKE THE STUFF THAT'S HAPPENED.
NOT MUCH HAS HAPPENED ON STAR SPANKED IN THE LAST MONTH WITH, WITH ME.
UM, SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I HAVE.
I GOT CONFIRMATION FROM THE GIRL SCOUTS, SO THEY WILL DO A COOKIE DECORATION.
UM, AND THEN I ALSO GOT CONFIRMATION FROM CANCER'S KRYPTONITE.
THEY'RE GOING TO DO, THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO A CORNHOLE CO COMPETITION.
SO, UM, AROUND TWO OR THREE, WHATEVER WORKS.
I KNOW WE HAVEN'T DONE THE SCHEDULE YET.
SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE FLEXIBLE AND THEY HAVE THEIR OWN BOARDS IN SUCH, WE DON'T NEED AROUND.
AND, UM, TYPICALLY DO THESE, UM, GROUPS, WHEN THEY VOLUNTEER TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS, DO THEY FILL OUT THE VENDOR APPLICATION? JUST LIKE, NOT PAY THE FEE SO WE HAVE 'EM IN THERE? OR DO I JUST REACH OUT TO 'EM AND MAKE SURE I GET 'EM ON THE LAYOUT? SO, UM, AS IN THE PAST, I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THEY'VE DONE.
BUT I CAN DEFINITELY GET YOU ALL THEIR INFORMATION SO YOU HAVE IT.
UM, YEAH, UM, I DID PUT IN A COUPLE OF FOR SPONSORS.
UM, I TALKED TO, UM, WE WERE LOOKING FOR A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE TENT.
UM, I ASKED, THEY SAID MONDAY I WOULD KNOW BY MONDAY.
[00:05:01]
AND THEN I, I PUT IN, UH, ANOTHER REQUEST, COCA-COLA.I GOT TO MEET SOME OF THE MANAGERS.
SO, UH, THEY REALLY WANNA DO SOME GREAT THINGS IN HUBER.
AND SO I, I'VE GOT, UH, THE THING TO THEM TOO.
WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED FOR THE, UM, STAR SPANKED HEIGHTS? WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE PARADE? DO WE HAVE ANYTHING AND DO THE PARADE? I THINK FOR THE, UNLESS, UNLESS WE WANNA TALK ABOUT WHO CAN BE THERE, UM, IF WE WANNA WAIT A LITTLE BIT LONGER FOR THAT.
IN THE PAST, HAVE YOU HAD LIKE, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL YOURSELF, LIKE AREA CAPTAINS, LIKE SOMEONE'S AN AREA CAPTAIN OF THE PARADE, SOMEONE'S AN AREA CAPTAIN OF FOOD VENDORS? KIND OF.
I MEAN, WE ALL KIND OF PICK A, A SPOT.
WE'VE NEVER HAD REALLY GOOD COMMUNICATION BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY, WHICH WOULD HELP.
I, WE TRIED, WE TRIED THE WALKIE TALKIES.
MAYBE IF WE JUST SHARE CELL PHONE NUMBERS AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S COVERED THERE.
I THINK, I THINK THAT WORKS BEST.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF, I THINK NOW MAYBE WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER'S CELL PHONE NUMBERS, BUT, UM, IN THE PAST IT IS LIKE, YOU KNOW, JERRY, WELL JERRY'S DONE IT EVERY YEAR THAT I'VE DONE IT.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S PLANNING ON TAKING IT ON THIS YEAR OR NOT.
I THINK, I THINK THE PARADE IS ON US, SO ANY AND ALL EXPERIENCE WITH HOW THAT'S RUN, I'LL BE REALLY APPRECIATIVE.
WELL, I, I THINK THE ONLY REASON JARED DID IT LAST YEAR IS BECAUSE SHE'S GOT THE EXPERIENCE AND I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS OBVIOUSLY.
UM, BUT SO, AND, AND SARAH WAS IN CHARGE LAST YEAR OR PRINCIPLY, BUT JARED TOOK IT ON JUST BECAUSE SARAH WAS BRAND NEW POSITION.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN THERE.
BUT WE DO HAVE LIKE ONE PERSON THAT KIND OF HEADS IT UP FROM THE CITY AND THEY'VE GOT, USUALLY GOT A GOLF CART
SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO JUST CHECK WITH THAT ON THAT.
BUT OTHERWISE, YOU KNOW, WE JUST KINDA SHOW UP AND DO WHAT WE CAN DO AND DIRECT TRAFFIC AND WELL PARK AS PARKING AND STAGING IS FIRST COME SERVE, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.
SO IF WE DO THAT, THAT'S PERFECT.
THE ONLY ONES YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT STAGING IS LIKE THE HIGH SCHOOL, THE FIRE TRUCKS.
COUNCIL AND THEN EVERYBODY ELSE KIND OF FILLS IN WHERE YEAH.
AND THEN YOU GUYS HAVE NORMALLY LIKE CONDENSE SPREAD OUT A LITTLE BIT.
HAVE YOU GUYS, THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE DONE, RIGHT? UM, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE, YEAH.
UM, IF THEY COME IN AND THEY SAY, HEY, WE GOT ANOTHER CAR COMING OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
WE TRY TO MAKE SURE THEY ALL GET, I THINK IF EVEN US IN IN THE APPLICATION, MEET YOUR GROUP, MAKE SURE YOUR GROUP IS COMPLETELY TOGETHER BEFORE YOU GET IN LINE.
DOESN'T ALWAYS DOESN'T HAPPEN.
THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS GET COMMUNICATED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THEIR GROUP, SO YEAH.
IT, IT CAN'T, IT CAN GO WELL, IT'S, AS LONG AS WE DON'T, WE'VE, I MEAN WHEN WE'VE TRIED THE ASSIGNED NUMBERS THING IN THE PAST, THAT WAS A DISASTER.
THE LINEUP AS THEY COME IN SEEMS TO WORK WELL RIGHT.
IN THE PAST, USUALLY WE'VE DONE SOME OF THE BOARD AT THE PARADE AND THEN SOME OF THE BOARD AT THE PARK TO KIND OF, BECAUSE THERE'S MOVING PARTS THERE WITH FOOD TRUCKS COMING IN.
UM, BOY SCOUTS KIND OF SETTING UP SO, UM, VENDORS KIND OF THING.
SO HOWEVER, YEAH, I THINK LAST YEAR DIDN'T SARAH TAKE THE PARK? WELL THAT, BECAUSE JERRY WAS DOING THE PARADE, RIGHT.
SO SARAH TOOK THE PARK, ME, ME, AND, UM, SARAH TOOK THE YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
'CAUSE YOU HAD TO SET UP FOR THE YEAH.
SO YEAH, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE TRUCKS START COMING IN AT 10.
I'M PRETTY SURE IT WAS EIGHT IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.
AND IT'S NOT THERE BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO BE, THE FIRE MARSHAL HAS TO CHECK.
BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME THE FIRE MARSH.
IT DEPENDS ON WHEN THE FIRE MARSHAL WANTS TO CHECK.
A THIS BEING AN ELECTION YEAR, CAN WE REITERATE ITINER? I'M SORRY.
THAT, UH, PEOPLE, CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE THAT ARE GOING TO BE IN THE PARADE OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES AT THIS, MAKE IT KNOWN THAT IT'S A
[00:10:01]
FAMILY EVENT.AND SO WE DON'T NEED INSULTS, WE DON'T NEED THINGS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN MIGHT FIND ALARMING.
LIKE HANGING OF THE CANDIDATES IN THEM IN OH.
HAVE WE EVER HAD THAT? DOES THAT HAPPEN? UH, WE HAD SOMEBODY TRIED TO DO THAT MY FIRST YEAR.
WE'LL PROBABLY JUST SEND OUT LIKE A CODE OF CONDUCT TO ALL THE PARTICIPANTS.
DO WE, I I WE DON'T HAVE KIND OF A THEME, DO WE? IS THERE A THEME OF THE PARADE? NOT THAT I SAW.
AMERICA, THE LIGHT AND BLUE AMERICA.
WE HAD ONE GROUP, I THINK, WHAT WAS IT, UH, FIRST YEAR THAT WOULD'VE BEEN SUMMER OF 20.
AND THEY TRIED TO PUT A TRUCK IN WITH ONE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AND THERE WAS SOME VULGAR LANGUAGE ON THEIR FLAGS AND OH, I, I MISSED ALL THAT.
UM, ARE WE GONNA DO AWARDS AGAIN THIS YEAR FOR THE FLOATS? BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET THE AWARDS AND THE COMMITTEE TO DO THE VOTING.
LIKE IS EVERYBODY THINK? I MEAN, WE, I THINK PEOPLE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT, SO I DO TOO.
THEY WORK HARD ON THEIR FLOATS AND WANNA TRY TO GET THE, UM, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO BE THE JUDGES AGAIN.
OR THERE'S WHY ME? THAT'S FINE.
UM, SO FOR THOSE AWARDS, DO YOU, YOU ORDER LIKE A PLAQUE OR SOMETHING TO GIVE TO THEM? WE'VE DONE, YEAH, WE'VE DONE A WREATH, UH, USUALLY THROUGH FIRST FLORIST AND IT GOES ON THERE LIKE THEY MARCH WITH IT SO PEOPLE KNOW.
AND WE HAVE WHAT, THREE, RIGHT? YEAH.
I GUESS THAT, BUT THAT KIND OF GOES WITH THE, THE THEME, RIGHT? YEAH.
SINCE IT'S 4TH OF JULY, BUT MOST FOUR
I'VE GOT, I'M SURE I'VE GOT IT IN MY HEAD.
WAS IT MAYOR CHOICE? THAT THAT'S FOR OUR YARD.
BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT WE, THERE'S ONE MORE.
IT WOULDN'T BE A BAD IDEA TO HAVE A MAYOR'S CHOICE.
BEST ORIGINALITY OR SOMETHING.
ORIGINALITY I THINK WAS ONE OF 'EM, BUT I THINK WE'RE ONE OF THEM, BUT I KNOW WE HAVE THREE AND I CAN'T THINK WHAT THE THIRD ONE IS.
IT'S A LITTLE LATE TO DO A THEME, BUT I MEAN, IF WE, GOING FORWARD IN FUTURE YEARS, IF WE EVER WANT TO DO A THEME THAT WOULD BE A, OH, WELL THE THEME IS ALREADY STU.
UM, I CAN'T, I'LL, I'LL SEE IF I CAN FIND THAT FIRM WHEN I'M FOR FIRST FLORIST PROBABLY KNOWS BETTER THAN ME.
THAT'S ACTUALLY PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA.
I CAN CALL AND SAY, WHAT HAVE WE ORDERED IN THE PAST? OKAY.
THE ONLY THING WITH THE MAYOR'S CHOICES, THEN THE MAYOR HAS TO JUDGE AND I DON'T KNOW.
NO, I I DON'T THINK HE WOULD BE OPPOSED TO IF WE ASKED THEM.
DOES FIRST FLORIS DONATE THESE? NO, WE'VE PAID FOR 'EM IN THE PAST.
WE DO HAVE A NEW DOMICILED FLORIS HERE IN ER HEIGHTS.
OH, MAYBE WE OUGHT TO THROW YEAH.
CUBA FLORAL, YOU KNOW, JUST MAKE THEM AWARE AND LET THEM SEE WHO COMES UP WITH THE BEST PRICE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
DO YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THAT COMPANY? I, I CAN TELL YOU THEY'RE LOCATED OVER AT THE, UH, IT'S HUBER HEIGHTS.
THAT THAT IN THE RURAL KING GROVE SHOPPING CENTER.
I'M JUST, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST HUBER FLORAL.
IT COULD BE UP BY THE ROYAL KING.
ANYTHING ELSE RIGHT AT THE MIND? I'M JUST A BIG BELABOR IN SUPPORTING HUBER.
WELL, I THINK WHEN I CALLED LAST YEAR, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE TYPE OF, UM, WREATH THAT WENT ON.
OH, SO YOU HAVE TALKED TO THEM BEFORE? OH YEAH.
BUT IT COULD BE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR, SO WHO KNOWS.
YEAH, I THINK THEY WERE JUST STARTING UP ABOUT LIKE JUNE OF LAST YEAR.
MIGHT HAVE, OR IT COULD EVEN HAVE LIKE, THERE WAS ANOTHER FLORIST THERE TOO, LIKE BEFORE THEN, OR, AND AROUND THAT AREA.
ALRIGHT, SO THE PARADE AND THEN WE'LL TALK, WILL TALK LATER, MAYBE NEXT MONTH ABOUT SIGN UP, WHO CAN BE WHERE AND WHEN AND, OKAY.
SARAH, DO YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE FROM US
[00:15:01]
FROM, FOR EITHER? UM, NO, THE LAST, UM, UPDATE THAT I JUST RECALLED IS THAT, UM, I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE STAGE SCHEDULE FOR UM, STAR SPANGLED.AND SO WE DID BOOK ANOTHER BAND TO COME ON BEFORE STRANGER.
SO WE GOT STRANGER'S CONTRACT BACK AND THEY'RE ALL SET TO BE OUR HEADLINER.
AND THEN, UM, ALY AND GENTRY IS A, UM, SISTER DUO AND THEY DO SOME COUNTRY MUSIC.
AND SO THEY'LL BE PLAYING FROM, I BELIEVE, ONE TO THREE.
AND THEN I'M TRYING TO FILL THE GAPS WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS.
UM, SO I HAVE ROOM FOR ONE MORE BAND IN BETWEEN THOSE TWO.
SO IF ANYBODY HAS A RECOMMENDATION OF A LOCAL BAND, IT'S LIKE AN ABSOLUTE FAVORITE.
I WOULD LOVE TO GET THEM APPROACH THEM.
AND THEN THE OTHER, UM, SPOTS ARE BEING FILLED HOPEFULLY WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS.
SO I'VE REACHED OUT TO THE, THE LOCAL DANCE CONSERVATORY TO SEE IF THEIR GIRLS AND BOYS WANNA DO, UM, SOME DANCE STUFF.
I ALSO HAVE LIKE A, A FAMILY MASCOT MEET AND GREET HAPPENING OUT THERE WITH ALL OF THE MASCOTS THAT THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY POND HAS.
UM, SO WHEN THEY'RE DOING THE STAGE TURNOVER FOR THE DIFFERENT BANDS AND THE SETUP AND IT'S A LULL, THEN I'M GONNA GET LIKE SOME BUBBLES AND MASCOTS AND, AND JUST LIKE A FAMILY MEET AND GREET.
SO HAVE YOU CONTACTED THE WARRIOR GIRLS? THEY'RE NOT YET.
SO THEY'RE GROUP, THEY'RE ON MY LIST.
UM, I ONLY SAW AN, UH, LIKE AN EMAIL FOR THEM, SO I HOPE I GET A RESPONSE.
IF YOU JUST, UM, EITHER LET HER KNOW I'LL BE REACHING OUT OR, OR GIVE HER MY INFO, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
UM, BECAUSE I HAVE LOTS OF SPACE FOR THE, LIKE ONE OFF COMMUNITY GROUPS TO COME AND DO LIKE AN HOUR.
UM, WE CAN START 'EM EARLY AND OKAY.
UM, ARE YOU INTERESTED IF THEY'RE NOT LOCAL? I MEAN, IF THEY'RE LIKE MAYBE FROM INGLEWOOD.
I KNOW, I THINK GREATER DAYTON AREA IS OKAY.
ESPECIALLY IF IT'S SOMETHING INTERESTING, UM, AND DIFFERENT.
I JUST KNOW SOME GROUPS I'LL, I'LL SEND THE NUMBERS TO YOU.
AND YOU CAN PICK WHAT YOU WANT.
ANY OTHER OLD BUSINESS? OTHER, I MEAN, WE HAVE THE MOVIES, BUT THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH PLANNED.
I DID HAVE THE ONE ANSWER FOR YOU ABOUT THE WHIP ARTIST'S TIME.
HE, HE, SO HE IS COMING ON AT SEVEN AND HE IS GOOD FOR THE FULL TWO HOURS OF MATERIAL.
SARAH DID SAY IN HER NOTES SHE HAD THAT WE ACTUALLY GOT TO START THE MOVIE LAST YEAR AT 8 45.
SO IS THAT OUR FIRST MOVIE? YES.
I WONDER IF IT'S JUST LIKE THE LOCATION OF THE STAGE RELATED TO SHADE.
WELL, IT'S NOT YOU SHINING DIRECTLY ON THE SHADE AS IT'S ON ON THAT STAGE AS IT SAYS.
I'M JUST GOING OFF WHAT SHE TOLD ME.
DO THE DRIVING, MOVING FURTHER.
AND THEN WHAT DAY IS THAT? THE GRINCH IS AT ILE BURGER.
WHAT? OH, I WAS, I THOUGHT SHE SAID INDIANA JONES WAS THE FIRST 21ST.
OH, I THOUGHT SHE SAID THAT WAS THE FIRST MOVIE.
THE FIRST MOVIE IS INDIANA JONES.
AND IT'S GONNA BE SHOWN ON 6 21.
AND LET'S SEE, WHERE'S THAT STAGE GETTING DELIVERED TO? OKAY.
WE DO NEED A COUPLE EXTRA PEOPLE TO SET UP 'CAUSE WE HAVE THE CONES TO SET OUT AND I'LL BE THERE.
BECAUSE I LOVE THE DRUG ENDING
I WILL FOR ME, WILL NOT BE THERE UNTIL ALMOST SEVEN CAN DO POPCORN AND WE'LL DO POPCORN.
I DON'T KNOW IF I WORK THE NEXT DAY WHETHER I'LL STAY THE WHOLE TIME.
AS LONG AS WE CAN GET SET UP AND THEN REMOVE THE CONES, THEY'RE USUALLY GOOD.
DO WE WANT TO TRY TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO COME AND COSTUME OR, OH, THAT'S SUPER FUN.
I ALWAYS LOVE A GOOD COSTUME PARTY.
ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT MOVIES? THAT IS ALL I HAD.
[00:20:01]
OKAY.BECAUSE WE'VE GOT LIKE THREE THAT PEOPLE ALL SEEM TO DO WANT TO BE DRESSED UP AT HALLOWEEN TIME.
UH, ANY OTHER OLD BUSINESS THAT ANYBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT? OKAY.
I THINK I JUST GAVE EVERYTHING I'VE PREPARED.
I HAD SEEN SOMETHING SOMEWHERE I THINK THAT THE COMMUNITY MIGHT LIKE TO DO OR MAYBE, UM, GET ON BOARD WITH.
UM, I SEEN WHERE PEOPLE WOULD PAINT ROCKS AND MAKE IT INTO A SNAKE AND SEE HOW FAR IT WOULD GO.
LIKE, HAVE THE KIDS OR WHOEVER PAINT DIFFERENT COLOR ROCKS.
IT JUST WAS REALLY NEAT FOR THE COMMUNITY TO GET TOGETHER TO DO SOMETHING AND JUST, YOU KNOW, PUT A LITTLE SIGN BY IT AND, YOU KNOW, WHEREVER AT A PARK SOMEWHERE AND JUST SEE IF THEY CAN ADD TO IT.
I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS A REALLY CUTE IDEA.
I SEEN WE, IT'S SOMETHING WE COULD EVEN DO AT MORE THAN ONE PARK.
SO YEAH, I JUST SEEN IT AND IT WAS REALLY, REALLY CUTE.
WHAT NEIGHBORHOOD COMES UP WITH THE BEST SNAKE? YEAH.
OH, THAT'S, I JUST THINK SOME THE KIDS OUT THERE AS LIKE A NEIGHBORHOOD.
I KNOW BEFORE, UM, NATIONAL TRAILS IN SPRINGFIELD HAD CHALLENGED OTHER CITIES TO MAKE THEIR SNAKE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
UM, I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT EVENT COME BACK UP.
BUT DOING AN EVENT BETWEEN MAYBE PICKING LIKE THREE OF OUR COMMUNITY PARKS THAT ARE STRETCHED OUT, WELL STRETCHED OUT SO THAT EACH YOU CAN KIND OF FEEL LIKE YOU'RE PART OF YOUR OWN BUBBLE.
YOU LIKE CLOUD COMMUNITY AND SHELL GATE AND YOU'VE GOT ONE ON EITHER END OF TOWN.
IT MIGHT BE HARD TO FIND COTTON WOODS.
YOU COULD DO THE SMALLER ONES THAT PEOPLE WALK TO A DIAL DRIVE AND ANOTHER ONE DIAL ALONG DON'T NEED THAT.
HAVE SOME TYPE OF WALKING PATH SO THAT WAY THEY CAN BE RIGHT.
THE, THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO.
THAT'S WHY I THOUGHT GATE A SNAKE IN THE GRASS.
BECAUSE THE MOWERS CAN MOW THEM.
COTTONWOOD, SHO GATE AND BELL PLAIN HAVE WALKING PATHS.
BUT BELL PLAIN'S KIND OF, WELL CLOSE THE COTTON CLOSE.
THE ISHO GATE GETTING CLOSED DOWN OR I AM SORRY.
WHAT? IT'S THE SOUL GATE PARK.
SO, UM, THERE'S A NUMBER OF PIECES THAT FELL INTO DISREPAIR ON THAT PLAY SYSTEM AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET SOME FIXES ON SOME OF THEM.
IT'S, IT'S, UM, IT MIGHT CONTINUE TO FAIL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE IT DOWN IF MORE HAPPENS, BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S OKAY.
AND WE'RE SET TO BE BUILDING A NEW ONE OUT THERE IN AUGUST.
NOPE, IT'S STILL UP AND RUNNING.
WE AREN'T RENTING THE SHELTER THIS YEAR THOUGH.
OH, YOU'RE NOT? JUST BECAUSE RIGHT.
'CAUSE IF SOMETHING BROKE ON, WE'RE INSPECTING IT WEEKLY AND IF SOMETHING, WE FOUND SOMETHING, WE'D HAVE TO SHUT IT DOWN.
WE DON'T WANNA RUIN SOMEBODY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY.
SO WE'RE JUST ENCOURAGING 'EM TO PICK ANOTHER PARK.
CAN WE DO IT LIKE IN A GIVEN AREA? I MEAN IT MIGHT EVEN BE AN IDEA THAT I COULD MAKE IT PART OF A FLORAL PLANTING.
YOU KNOW, A SNAKE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LONG.
IT COULD BE TWISTING BACK AND FORTH.
IT COULD EVEN BE ENCOURAGED TO PLANT FLOWERS IN BETWEEN.
WE DON'T WANNA MAKE IT TOO ELABORATE BECAUSE THEN WE'RE GONNA END UP JUST SHOOTING OURSELVES IN THE FOOT.
NOBODY'S GOING BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS AND YOU KNOW, IF WE JUST SAY, HEY, PAINT A ROCK CAN ADD IT TO THE SNAKE.
OR THEY'LL BE ABLE TO KNOW, WELL WE DID HAVE SOME OF THE PARKS HAD A GARDEN, GARDENING GARDEN AREAS THAT, I THINK THAT'S DEFINITELY A QUESTION FOR SARAH.
LIKE WHERE WOULD BE THE BEST PLACE TO NOT BE IN ANY OF THEIR WAY AND MM-HMM.
UM, I DEFINITELY LIKE THE IDEA OF IT BEING AT A PARK OR PARKS WITH A WALKING PATH.
UM, YOU COULD CHOOSE LIKE SHELL GATE AS YOUR NORTH AND COTTONWOOD AS YOUR SOUTH.
AND DO TWO AND SPLIT THE CITY IN HALF FOR SORT OF COMPETITION.
'CAUSE THEY'RE ABOUT COMPARABLE SIZE.
[00:25:01]
THEN TO DRAW THE LINE DOWN THE MAP OF THE CITY SO PEOPLE KNOW IF YOU LIVE ON THAT SIDE, THIS IS YOUR SNAKE.AND THEN WELL WE WOULD, THESE, THESE WOULD BE PLACED ON THE WALKING PATH OR ALONG THE SIDE WALKING JUST RIGHT NEXT TO IT.
SHOULD WE LOOK TO SEE IF THERE'S SOME PLACE WHERE WE COULD PROVIDE THE ROCKS? THAT WAY THEY'RE UNIFORM AND SIZE.
AND THAT WAY YOU COULD HAVE 'EM JUST SET OUT FOR PEOPLE TO PICK.
BECAUSE WE DON'T REALLY WANT 'EM TO GO PULL THE ROCKS OUT OF OUR DRAINAGE DITCHES AND STUFF.
SOMEWHAT SIZE, BUT ALL A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
WE COULD PROVIDE GUIDANCE OF LIKE, WE'RE LOOKING BETWEEN A GOLF BALL AND A SOFTBALL.
BUT I THINK THE UNIQUENESS OF THE DIFFERENT SHAPES IS, CAN I ASK, THIS IS SOMETHING THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO PAINT AT HOME AND THEN BRING CORRECT.
COULD WE START OUT THE SNAKE THOUGH SO THEY CAN KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR AND WHERE WE WANT IT? MM-HMM.
WELL THERE IS A COUPLE GROUPS IN HUBER.
UM, THEY'RE ROCK GROUP, UM, LIKE HUBER HEIGHTS KINDNESS AND FCC HAS A ROCK GROUP.
WE CAN INVITE THEM TO DO A TABLE LIKE A DAY OR SOMETHING.
WELL SHOULD WE DO IT AT STAR SPANGLED OR AT ONE OF THE MOVIES OR IN MULTIPLE MOVIES THEY SHOW UP AND, AND THAT WAY IT COULD BE SOMETHING OUR HANDS ON DOING AT EVENTS.
BUT THEN ALSO THEN WE'LL TAKE THE BUCKET OF ROCKS AND PUT 'EM AT THE SNAKE.
YOU COULD PROBABLY HAVE SOMETHING SET UP AT THE FARMER'S MARKET.
I'M ACTUALLY WORKING ON A SCHEDULE WOULD BE GOOD OF EVENTS FOR THE FARMER'S MARKET.
LIKE RIGHT NOW I'M TRYING TO GET THAT OUT IN THE NEXT WEEK.
SO IF WE WANTED TO PICK A COUPLE DAYS TO BE OUT THERE, THAT, AND I THINK WITH THE MOVIES TOO, IF YOU COULD GET A COUPLE OF THEM TO SHOW UP TO THE MOVIE NIGHTS.
SO WHEN WE, WHEN DO WE WANNA START THIS? I SAY WE GET A PLAN TO START WITH THE FIRST.
DO WE NEED TO MAKE LIKE A MOTION TO DO SOMETHING? WAIT, DO YOU, SO I THINK YOU SHOULD BE SARAH, RIGHT? YES.
LAURIE, I THINK YOU SHOULD MOTION 'CAUSE IT WAS YOUR IDEA.
WE NEED A MOTION TO UM, BE ABLE TO CREATE THIS UH, SNAKE ROCK AT OUR PARKS.
OH, YOU CAN SAY SHOAL AND COTTONWOOD.
IS THAT THE ONE YOU SAID? THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING.
BUT LET ME DIG A LITTLE MORE AND JUST, 'CAUSE COTTONWOODS TRAIL IS SHORTER THAN SHOOL GATE.
SO THEN ARE THEY AT A DISADVANTAGE? UM, SO SHOULD THINK ON NEXT, BUT COMMUNITY'S NOT PAYING TILL NEXT MEETING.
YOU WANNA WAIT UNTIL NEXT MEETING AND DECIDE AND GET THE MAYBE RESEARCH ON THE PLACES YOU WANT TO DO IT AND THEN DO THE MOTION OF IT.
BUT I THINK WE CAN START THE BALL ROLLING NOW.
GET THOSE COMMUNITY GROUPS SIGNED UP WITHOUT THE YOU CAN MOTION THAT WE'RE GONNA ABOUT THE PARK FOR INVESTIGATE IT.
WE MIGHT CLAIM THAT WE NEED MORE THAN TWO PARTS.
SAY I MOTION TO INVESTIGATE THE START OF THE SNAKE ROCK.
ANYBODY OPPOSED? ZERO OPPOSITION.
IS THERE ANY OTHER NEW BUSINESS THAT ANYBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT? WELL, MINE'S KIND OF OLD BUSINESS.
DO WE WANT TO DO THAT? I MEAN, I'M THE ONE THAT NO, THEY TELL THE HOMES.
I KNOW WE DIDN'T GET LOT PARTICIPATION LAST MONTH SO WE DON'T GET A LOT OF PARTICIPATION FROM THE COMMUNITY.
SO I THINK THE MORE THEY SEE IT, I THINK, UM, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY SEE THOSE SIGNS OUT, I THINK WE HAD A HARD TIME GETTING THE SIGNS OUT AND GETTING 'EM BACK.
SO IT KIND OF, UM, WAS LATE IN THE YEAR.
I THINK IF WE START A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, MORE PEOPLE WILL BE INVOLVED.
UM, HOW DO WE GET THEM INVOLVED? WELL, WE THROW OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND, AND TELL OUR FRIENDS.
AND DO YOU HAVE ANYWHERE WRITTEN LIKE HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS? LIKE IS IT QUARTERLY? YOU KNOW, SO THERE'S A PERIOD FOR NOMINATION AND THEN AT ONE OF THESE MEETINGS YOU GUYS APPROVE AND THEN THEY GET, WE PUT THE SIGNS OUT THE NEXT WEEK AND THEN THEY GET TO BE IN THEIR YARD FOR TWO MONTHS BECAUSE THEN THE NEXT PEOPLE HAVE ROLLED IN.
SO YOU DO IT ONCE A YEAR? MM-HMM.
SO WHEN DID WE START LAST YEAR? WE WANNA DO IT EARLIER 'CAUSE PEOPLE'S FLOWERS ARE DYING.
RIGHT? BY THE TIME WE LOOK AT 'EM IN JULY FROM THE HEAT.
AND THEN GO OUT IN JUDGE IN JUNE.
JUNE OR JULY DIDN'T WE? THIS YEAR?
[00:30:01]
JULY.I THINK OUR LAST, WE DO HAVE, WE DID GET AN OFFER FROM JAY TO GO OUT AS SOON AS SOMEBODY'S NOMINATED.
JAY IS THE PHOTOGRAPHER THAT DID THE WORK LAST YEAR.
HE SUGGESTED THAT AS SOON AND HE WOULD GO TAKE A PICTURE RIGHT THEN AND THERE.
HE GONNA GO OUT EVERY WEEK AND TAKE PICTURES OF THE HOUSE WHEN IT'S NOMINATED.
I WAS THINKING AND THEN YOU'LL JUST JUDGE THE PICTURES, RIGHT? OKAY.
I DON'T KNOW LAWS ABOUT IF LIKE, IF SOMEBODY TOOK A PICTURE OF SOMEBODY'S HOUSE AND THEIR LAWN AND SAID I NOMINATE THEM AND SENT THE PICTURE TOO.
WELL THIS IS THE WAY WE DID IT.
WE WENT AND KNOCKED ON THEIR DOOR.
BUT SHE'S SAYING HE WANTS TO GO OUT AHEAD OF TIME.
HE'S GONNA HAVE TO KNOCK ON THEIR DOOR AND ASK THEIR PERMISSION.
BECAUSE WE USUALLY TELL HIM WE'RE FROM THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION.
DO YOU MIND IF WE TOOK A PICTURE? HE'LL HAVE TO DO ALL THAT THEN.
UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU NEED PERMISSION IF YOU'RE JUST TAKING A PICTURE OF THE FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE AND GOOGLE DOESN'T GET MY PERMISSION WHEN THEY COME AND TAKE PICTURES OF MY HOUSE.
I THINK YOU BE MINDFUL IF YOU ASK
I THINK IT'S VERY MINDFUL IF YOU ASKED.
I WOULD BE A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS IF SOMEBODY'S IN MY YARD TAKING THE PICTURE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT? I THINK GETTING THE SIGN OUT QUICKLY IS GOOD.
SO WHEN IS THE NEXT UPDATE FOR THE BOARD TO THE 'CAUSE? DO YOU TAKE 'EM TO COUNCIL AND SHOW THEM FIRST? NO.
THAT WAS WHAT OUR STALL WAS LAST YEAR.
IT WAS BECAUSE, BECAUSE COUNCIL IS THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY AWARDS THE, GETS THE AWARDS.
SO THE, SO WE HAD ALL OF THE NOMINEES, WE HAD VOTED, WE HAD WHO WON AND THEN THEY SHAKE HANDS AND HAND OUT AND THEN THE BOARD OR THE COUNCIL ACTUALLY HAND OUT THE AWARD.
SO WE WERE LIKE THREE MONTHS GETTING THE WORK DONE AND THEN, NO, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY CAME.
DID THEY? AND THEN NOBODY CAME TO PAY.
WE HAD A COUPLE PEOPLE WHO HAD COVID AND SO MAYBE WE WANNA LEAVE COUNCIL OUT OF IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHY COUNCIL REALLY NEEDS TO BE INVOLVED.
WE COULD DO IT AT ONE OF OUR, WELL THERE IS THE MAYOR AWARD.
BUT HE DID SAY HE WANTED TO PICK THAT ONE THIS YEAR.
OH HE DID? OH, UH, YEAH, HE WAS TALKING ABOUT, HE WAS LIKE, UH, WAS IT AT THE MEETING WHERE HE WAS LIKE, HE, HE WAS KIDDING I THINK.
BUT HE WAS LIKE, I DIDN'T GET TO PICK IT.
I THINK HE COULD RUN IT BY HIM AND SEE IF HE'S YEAH.
THERE'S AND AND HE'S A VERY AGREEABLE INDIVIDUAL.
OUR MEETING, IT PRESENTED HERE AND WE MIGHT WANNA SHOW HIM THE PICTURES.
IF WE DO IT BY PHOTOGRAPHY RATHER THAN LIKE, LIKE TINA SAID, THREE OF US WENT TO EACH HOUSE, KNOCKED ON THE DOORS, SAID HE'D BEEN NOMINATED, TOOK PICTURES.
AND THEN WE, THE THREE OF US, JAY, TINA AND I VOTED ON WHO GOT EACH AWARD.
SO DO WE ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO NOMINATE? MM-HMM.
I HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS THAT THEY SEND EMAILS TO.
I MONITOR THAT AND I KEEP TRACK OF WHO'S GETTING NOMINATED AND THEN I COME UP WITH A LIST.
AND IN THE PAST WE'VE ALWAYS JUST VISITED ALL THE HOUSES.
AT ONE POINT WE PICKED A DATE AND WENT YEAH.
BUT IF WE HAVE A BIG WINDOW, LIKE IF WE GO MAY THROUGH JUNE, SOMEBODY MAY LOOK AT A YARD IN MAY AND SAY, OH THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
AND THEN BY THE TIME WE GO OUT AND JUDGE IT IN JULY, WHAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL ABOUT THIS
I THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE A DEFINED PERIOD OF TIME.
SO PEOPLE GET THEM TO YOU AND THEN THEY KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GETTING THEIR AWARD AND THEN THESE PEOPLE GET TO SHOW THEIR AWARD IN THEIR YARD WHILE IT'S STILL NICE, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
SO NO, IT'S A TINA WHEN DO YOU THINK THAT WINDOW WOULD BE THE BEST TIME TO, TO JUDGE THE HOUSE IS? JUNE.
AND HAVE THE, THE SIGN UP BY LIKE 4TH OF JULY I WOULD THINK.
SO THAT THEY CAN KEEP IT UP AND THEN WE'LL PICK IT BACK UP IN SEPTEMBER, AUGUST.
WELL WHEN WILL WE PUT OUT THE NOTIFICATION? I SEE.
WELL ACTUALLY IF YOU GO ON THE WEBSITE, THE EMAIL'S ALREADY UP.
IT'S ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS PUT IT ON FACEBOOK AND ADVERTISE IT MORE.
'CAUSE I WAS ON TODAY LOOKING AT THE PARADE STUFF AND IT'S ALREADY OUT THERE.
WHAT IS THE, UM, AWARDS SPECIFICALLY? WHICH MAYORS? B FRIENDLY, THE MAYOR AWARD.
WE HAVE A BUSINESS AWARD THAT BE TRYING IN THE
[00:35:01]
DAY.MAY I SUGGEST ADDING AN AWARD? SURE.
MAYBE A RENOVATION OF LIKE, IF YOU NOTICE SOMEBODY TOOK ON A HOME THAT WAS NOT WELL KEPT AND NOW IT'S BEING WELL KEPT.
I LIVED IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE SOME PEOPLE MOVED IN AND FIXED UP A HOME AND I WAS LIKE, OH MY GOSH, YOU GUYS ARE FANTASTIC.
WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THAT BEST PROJECT? OR JUST YEAH, RENO.
LIKE RENOVATION AWARD OR JUST, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
I MEAN IF YOU CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT COMES YEAH.
IT'S NOT THE HOUSE, IT'S THE YARD.
IT'S THE YARD FLOWERS AND THE PROPERTY THAT, THAT SIDEWALK APPEAL.
YOUR YARD, YOUR FLOWERS THE MOST IMPROVED.
MOST, MOST PEOPLE MIGHT NOT LIKE THAT ONE, HUH? YEAH.
JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
WE DON'T HAVE TO, I'LL, I'LL WORK UP A ADVERTISEMENT WITH THESE THREE AND I'VE GOTTA START CHECKING THE EMAIL.
AND WHAT, WAS THERE A DATE ON IT SARAH? NO, IT JUST HAD AN EMAIL.
SO, SO CAN WE GET A DATE PUT ON IT THEN AND HAVE IT BY SO NOMINATIONS FROM NOW UNTIL A WEEK BEFORE YOUR JUNE MEETING.
BUT THEN PEOPLE REALLY DON'T HAVE THEIR GARDENS OUT BY YEAH, I WOULD SAY BY MID JUNE.
I WAS JUST GONNA SAY JUNE 15TH.
AND WHEN IS YOUR JUNE MEETING? LEMME SEE HERE.
THAT WOULD GIVE THE, THAT WOULD GIVE ME ENOUGH TIME TO, I'LL PRINT THEM ON.
SO ARE WE GONNA HAVE HIM TAKE PICTURES? YOU GONNA TALK TO HIM? I CALL, I'LL CALL HIM.
THEY'LL HAVE TO GO UP AND SAY WHO HE IS AND SO SHE GETS ALL THE NOMINATIONS.
SO SHE WORKS WITH TINA, I WORK WITH JAY AND JAY AND HE GETS THE PICTURES.
AND LAST YEAR JAY PUT TOGETHER A, A SLIDESHOW.
IT NEVER GOT POSTED ON THE CITY WEBSITE OR ANYTHING.
SO, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT, BUT I THINK THEY SHOWED IT THAT NIGHT.
DID THEY? DID WE? YEAH, THEY DID.
BUT DID IT HAVE EVERYBODY OR JUST THE, JUST THE THREE THAT WON.
IT WAS JUST THE THREE THAT WON.
SO WE NEED EVERYBODY THAT'S BEEN NOMINATED.
SO JAY IS GONNA GET, GET PICTURES.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE YOUR FINAL LIST LIKE ON THE 15TH YOU'LL HAVE YOUR EMAILS IN.
IS AND HE CAN DO THAT OVER LIKE THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.
HE'LL, HE SAID HE WOULD BE HAPPY TO GO OUT LIKE AS SOON AS IT'S NOMINATED.
SO YOU CAN KIND OF GIVE HIM A ROLLING LIST.
AND WHY DON'T WE DO SOMETHING, 'CAUSE WE'VE SAID THIS BEFORE AND WE NEVER DID IT.
MAYBE AT THE 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION, HAVING PICTURES OF THESE HOMES AND THEN PEOPLE WILL SEE THIS 10TH.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU COULD DO, SARAH TO OH, IF HE JUST GETS ME THE PHOTOS, I COULD GET 'EM PRINTED PICTURE IS JUST THE WINNER BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE THE WINNER BY THEN.
OH, WE, I THINK WE SHOULD JUST DISPLAY EVERYBODY.
I THINK WE SHOULD DISPLAY ONE.
THERE WAS SOME REALLY PRETTY YARDS THAT WE AND WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE THAT RIGHT.
CAN'T WE HAVE THAT WHEN THEY GO TO NOMINATE? LIKE YOU, YOUR HOUSE WILL BE DISPLAYED AT THIS STAR SPRINKLED BANNER.
'CAUSE MAYBE THAT'LL MAKE PEOPLE MORE INTERESTED IN NOMINATING IF THEY'RE GONNA GET THAT
OR WE COULD HAVE IT ON OUR TENT.
YEAH, THAT'S, WE WILL STOP BY.
'CAUSE USUALLY WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THERE AT THE TENT.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE CAN HAVE ANYTHING ELECTRONIC THERE, BUT I MEAN WE COULD HAVE A MONITOR WITH THE SLIDESHOW ON IT OR WE COULD JUST HAVE PICTURES.
WE HAVE PICTURES OF PUT 'EM ON POSTER BOARDS OR SOMETHING.
GET THE, AND HAVE THEM PUT 'EM IN THE GROUND NOW.
SO THOSE ARE JUST PROMOTIONAL IDEAS.
BUT YEAH, THAT WAY I DON'T HAVE TO GO LOOK AT ALL THAT.
START NOMINATIONS AS SOON AS WE CAN GET IT OUT THERE AND THEN ADD THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF JUNE.
WE'LL MAKE A DECISION BY 4TH OF JULY.
AND THE MAYOR CAN PICK WHATEVER WANTS IN
I'LL CALL JAY TOO JUST TO MAKE SURE HE IS DOUBLE ON BOARD.
UM, NOW OUTTA CURIOSITY, IF WE WERE TO ADD A BLOOMING CRAZY CATEGORY, WOULD THAT BE TRUE? BE FRIENDLY, NOT FRIENDLY.
BE FRIENDLY SLASH BLOOMING CRAZY.
[00:40:01]
OR IT'S BLOOMING CRAZY.UM, IF WE'RE, SO WE'RE NOT DOING THE MARIAL FESTIVAL AND THAT'S KIND OF WHEN WE LAUNCHED THE DATE OF OUR ART SHOW AND START LIKE, HEY, DO YOU WANNA BE AN ARTIST? DO WE WANT TO HAVE A SIGN UP AT THE 4TH OF JULY IN THE TENT? GOT PEOPLE THERE.
WHY NOT? I, THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.
I DON'T KNOW WHY WE COULDN'T JUST START PUTTING FLYERS OUT AT EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW, GET HAVE 'EM AT THE MOVIES.
I MEAN, WE CAN ALWAYS PUT THINGS OUT AT THE MARKET TOO.
RIGHT? RULE OF THUMB IS PEOPLE NEED TO SEE SOMETHING SEVEN TIMES FOR THEM TO EVEN NOTICE IT.
DO YOU GUYS THE NEXT MEETING, SHOULD WE PUT IT ON THE AGENDA TO PICK LIKE A DATE? BECAUSE I WILL, WE KNOW THE SUPER BOWL BY THEN AND STUFF.
'CAUSE ALL OF THOSE THINGS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, WE DID NOT WANT THE SUPER BOWL WEEKEND.
I DON'T FOLLOW THE SUPER BOWL.
I THINK THERE'S, YEAH, THERE'S A WAY THAT THEY DECIDE.
I WE USUALLY TRY TO THE FOOTBALL SATURDAY BEFORE SATURDAY AFTER UM, VALENTINE'S DAY.
BUT I DON'T LIVE ON STUCK WITH THAT EITHER.
CAME TO ME GROWING UP WITH SUPER BOWL WAS ALWAYS LIKE MID-JANUARY.
NOW HERE WE ARE MID-FEBRUARY HAVING TWO.
I I CAN SEE IT INTERFERING WITH ST.
PATRICK'S DAY BEFORE TOO LONG.
DID WE EVER DECIDE ON IF IT WAS AN OPTION TO LET THE ARTISTS SELL THEIR ART? I THINK WE ASKED IF WE COULD HAVE PERMISSION TO DO THAT.
I DON'T HAVE ANY REASON WHY YOU COULDN'T.
I THINK THAT WAS PROBABLY A DECISION MADE.
LIKE IN IN WHAT SPIRIT AND WHAT VEIN DID THE SHOW WANT TO BE AND NOT ACTUALLY LIKE A TECHNICALITY.
UM, BECAUSE WE, WE ALLOW VENDORS TO SELL.
THESE WOULD JUST BE VENDORS THAT WERE GIVING VENDORS SPACE FOR FREE.
IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT, UM, YOU MIGHT SAY YOU CAN SELL AND HAVE YOUR FREE VENDOR SPACE IF YOUR PRODUCTS ARE UNDER $50.
IF YOU'RE TRYING TO SELL A $700 PAINTING, WE CHARGE YOU $25 VENDOR FEE.
JUST TO KIND OF SAY LIKE, 'CAUSE THERE'S THOSE LOCAL COMMUNITY ARTISTS WHO MIGHT BE DOING THEIR WATERCOLORS AND THIS IS THE ONE SHOW THEY WANNA DO A YEAR.
AND THEN THERE MIGHT BE THAT, THAT BIGGER NAME WHO ACTUALLY SHOWS AROUND THE COUNTRY AND OH, I SEE.
SO ANY OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU WANNA IMPLEMENT, YOU CAN DISCUSS AND DECIDE OR WE CAN NOT MAKE A RULE UNTIL WE HAVE AN ISSUE ALSO.
'CAUSE IT MIGHT, YOU KNOW, NOT, I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE IT BETTER AND BIGGER IF, YOU KNOW, IF WE COULD DO THAT.
DO WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO, TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THAT UP TO SELL? SO MOVE.
ANYBODY WANNA MAKE A MOTION TO LET ARTISTS SELL AT OUR ART EXHIBITS? SO MR. FOX MOTION.
THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD ABOUT, UM, THE ART SHOW IS WE HAD A DONATION FOR A SCHOLARSHIP FROM T-MOBILE.
IT'S STILL SITTING IN THE ACCOUNT IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD.
SO WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO MAKE THAT AVAILABLE? IS THAT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE LIKE, YES.
SO, UM, DO, WHEN YOU RECEIVED THE MONEY, DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS ANY SPECIFIC STIPULATIONS FOR HOW YOU WOULD AWARD IT? I THINK IT WAS GOING TO A PLACE WHERE THEY COULD MAKE THOSE STIPULATIONS.
T-MOBILE GAME IS, OH, IT WAS GOING TO THE DAYTON FOUNDATION.
SO IS IT TO GIVE IT TO A STUDENT HERE WHO'S INVOLVED IN THE ARTS IN SOME WAY? I BELIEVE SO.
I IT WAS GIVEN FOR THAT STUDENT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A YEAH.
SO WE PROBABLY NEED TO MAKE SOME SORT OF APPLICATION.
UM, SO IF WE WANNA TALK ABOUT THE TYPE OF CRITERIA YOU'D WANNA SEE ON THAT, WE CAN PROBABLY THERE.
THEY'RE ABOUT TO GRADUATE NEXT MONTH.
I THINK WE GET TO WEIGH IN ON WHO IT IS.
I JUST, I KNOW THE MONEY IS STILL THERE.
HOW MUCH WAS IT? I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER.
BUT ALSO TOO, WOULD THAT BE JUST FOR LIKE A STATIC ARTWORK, LIKE A PAINTING OR DRAWING OR A SCULPTOR OR WOULD THAT I, I THOUGHT, I GUESS I WAS THINKING IT WAS GOING SOMEWHERE TO DECIDE ALL THAT AND
[00:45:01]
THEN THAT'S WHEN WE WOULD GIVE IT, WHEN THAT APPLICATION WAS CORRECT.BUT THEN WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
SO THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO ASK, BECAUSE I HAVE A COUPLE PEOPLE THAT WOULD LIKE TO GIVE INTO THAT SCHOLARSHIP FUND, BUT I DIDN'T WANT THAT'S WONDERFUL TO SAY.
LET'S DO THIS WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT SO FAR.
SO I'VE KIND OF TOLD 'EM TO WAIT A MINUTE UNTIL WE FOUND OUT.
WELL THEN THAT LEAVES THE 15TH OPEN, WHICH IS THE DAY AFTER I FAILED.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? THE 15TH IS A SATURDAY, IS THAT RIGHT? YES.
IS THERE, YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THAT SCHEDULE AT ALL, DO YOU? I'M SORRY, FOR WHAT? UM, NEXT YEAR.
THAT ACTUALLY WORKS DAY FOR THE ART SHOW.
YEAH, THAT, I MEAN THAT WOULD BE FINE WITH ME.
UM, RIGHT OFF HAND, THE, IT LOOKS LIKE THE 17TH IS PRESIDENT'S DAY.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MATTERS IF WE DON'T HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HOLIDAY WEEKENDS, BUT, UH, YEAH, I DON'T THINK IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
DO YOU HAVE TO CHECK THE CALENDAR OR NO, WE DON'T START RENTING UNTIL THE FIRST OF THE YEAR.
DO WE WANNA MAKE A MOTION FOR FEBRUARY 15TH OR DOES SOMEBODY ELSE HAVE A DIFFERENT DATE IN MIND? I'M GOOD WITH THAT.
AND THEN, UM, I HAVE IT ON MY CALENDAR ALSO.
WHEN WE TALKED SEVERAL MEETINGS AGO, PROBABLY MY FIRST MEETING HERE, UM, CINDY DAVIDSON DID REACH OUT WITH HER PEACE AND TRANQUILITY POND WILLING TO GIVE, UM, THE MONETARY AWARDS TO WINNERS IF WE WANTED TO PICK, YOU KNOW, BEST IN SHOW OR SOMETHING.
SO, UM, IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANNA KEEP IN MIND, I CAN ASK HER TO ELABORATE MORE.
UM, I KNOW WHEN I DID AN ART SHOW WE HAD THREE AGE CATEGORIES AND FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD GOT RIBBONS, BUT FIRST AND SECOND ACTUALLY GOT CASH.
IS THIS FOR THE KIDS OR? I THINK IT WOULD BE FOR THE WHOLE SHOW.
SO WE'D HAVE DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS LIKE YOUTH TWEEN AND THEN LIKE 18 AND UP ADULT.
UM, A SENIOR CATEGORY WOULD BE AN INTERESTING THAT'S TRUE TOO.
A SENIOR MIGHT BE VERY INTERESTING AND THERE'S LOTS OF SENIOR ARTISTS THERE.
SO SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT IF WE WANNA PURSUE A CASH PRIZE.
ANY, I MIGHT DRAW MORE PEOPLE.
SELLING ART AND HAVING MM-HMM.
WHAT CAN TIME WHEN WE LOOKING AT, BECAUSE DIDN'T WE DISCUSS CHANGE IN THE TIME LAST YEAR AND THEN WE DIDN'T? 'CAUSE I THINK WE, WE'VE USUALLY DONE IT UNTIL WHEN? SEVEN TILL SEVEN.
WOULD WE WANT TO DO IT ONE TO SIX? MAYBE IT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT NOW THAT WE'RE SELLING ART.
I STILL THINK SIX IS PROBABLY THE LATEST.
WE'RE GONNA GET ANYBODY WALKING IN THE DOORS.
IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS AND A SATURDAY.
UM, ANY ADDITIONAL BUSINESS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS? ALL RIGHT.
IF, IF NO ONE HAS ANY OBJECTIONS, WE'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM OUR MARCH 18TH MEETING.
UM, OUR NEXT MEETING IS, UH, MAY 20TH.
AND THEN AT THAT WE CAN, IF THERE'S NO OTHER COMMENTS, WE ARE GONNA CLOSE OUR MEETING AT 7 24.
