UM, SO YEAH, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.
UH, ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS? ALRIGHT THEN IN THAT CASE THEN, WE'LL WE WILL GO AHEAD ON TO THE CITY UPDATE AND I THINK THAT IS SARAH GONNA BE GIVEN THAT, CORRECT? YES.
UM, SO I HAVE A FEW UPDATES FOR THE BEGINNING OF MAY.
WE HAVE A FEW PROJECTS GETTING UNDERWAY INCLUDING UM, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOG PARK FENCE.
UM, SO WE HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES OUT THERE WITH THE FENCE AND SO THAT'S GONNA BE REPLACED AND IT SHOULD GET A LITTLE BIT OF A FACELIFT TOO IN THE PROCESS.
UM, WE ARE LOOKING TO DO THAT ONE SECTION AT A TIME SO WE CAN KEEP SERVICE OPEN JUST FROM DOING ONE SECTION DOWN.
UM, THAT THERE ARE A COUPLE SECTIONS THAT SHERIFF FENCE, SO AT MOST TWO WILL BE DOWN, BUT AT LEAST ONE WILL BE OPEN.
UM, ALSO THAT UH, SAME-ISH TIME STARTING AROUND MAY 8TH, WE'RE ANTICIPATING THE DELIVERY OF A GAZEBO TO UM, BE INSTALLED AT DIAL PARK.
SO IT SHOULD BE A NICE LITTLE PASSIVE AMENITY.
UM, LETTERS ON THAT IS ARE GOING OUT IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO TO, UM, RESIDENTS JUST TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THAT'S WHAT'S
[00:05:01]
GOING ON IF YOU SEE SOME TRUCKS COMING BY.UM, THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT WE DID GET SOME TABLES OUT AT PICKLEBALL AND I'VE NOW BEEN TOLD, UM, THIRD WEEK OF MAY TO GET THAT PAINTING DONE, UM, BECAUSE OF THE TEMPERATURES NEEDING TO BE RELATIVELY STABLE AT NIGHT.
UM, I THINK ALEX, YOU WERE GONNA GET ME SOME OTHER PADDLE HOLDERS BECAUSE THE ONES YOU SENT ME, I WASN'T ABLE TO GET TAX INFORMATION FROM THAT PROVIDER.
UM, SO IF YOU CAN, IF YOU CAN SHOP FOR SOME OTHER PADDLE HOLDERS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
I WILL, UH, I DON'T REMEMBER THE SITE.
WELL THAT ONE NEXT UP MAY HAVE BEEN THE NAME THEY WERE USING FOR THE COMPANY.
I CAN SEND THEM TO YOU CHRIS, IF YOU WANNA SEE.
UM, TRY, TRY PICKLEBALL CENTRAL.
UM, THAT'S WHO WE USE AT THE Y UM, FOR BALLS AND NETS AND THEY DO TAKE TAXES, TAX INFORMATION, SO, OKAY, GREAT.
THEY SHIFT SUPER QUICK TOO, SO.
I WILL CHECK THAT ALSO AND SEE IF THERE'S, UH, SEE WHICH ONE I THINK IS BEST AND THEN I WILL SEND YOU THE, UH, INFORMATION OVER THAT ITEM NUMBER AND SO FORTH SO WHEN YOU ORDER IT, WE TALK ABOUT THE SAME ITEM.
UM, ALSO OUT AT MON BIKE PARK, UM, THE BIKE AND SKATE PARK, WE HAVE HAD A REQUEST FROM THE NONPROFIT FOUNDATION.
UM, THEY ARE ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH MIKE'S, UM, SKATE AND CYCLE SHOP AND MIKE'S BIKE PARK DOWN IN DOWNTOWN DAYTON.
UM, AND SO THAT GROUP IS GONNA COME TOGETHER AND THEY'RE GONNA ADOPT THAT PARK.
SO, UM, YOU'LL SEE IN THE CORNER OF THE PARKING LOT IN A SPACE WE WEREN'T ABLE TO USE, UM, FOR PARKING.
THERE IS NOW A, A LOCKBOX OUT THERE.
WE'RE GOING TO GET
SO THAT WILL BE VERY EXCITING.
UM, AND THEN WE DO HAVE OUR TREE GIVEAWAY ON SATURDAY.
UM, IS EVERYONE, ARE PEOPLE STILL ABLE TO VOLUNTEER? YOU INDICATED LAST TIME, SO ANDY'S COMING.
'CAUSE JUSTICE THOUGHT ABOUT IT, BUT THEN I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE OKAY.
I CAN VOLUNTEER ALSO NOW ON MY SCHEDULE IS OKAY.
I'M, I'M KIND OF PLANNING IT SO THAT THEY COME GET THEIR APPLICATION FROM ME OR WHOEVER TAKE IT DOWN AND HELP 'EM FIND THEIR TREE AND THEN THEY GIVE US THE APPLICATION BACK AND WALK AWAY, SO.
UM, WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE? OH, UM, SO AS YOU KNOW, SHUL GATE PARK, UM, IS SLATED FOR REPLACEMENT IN AUGUST.
UM, THAT WAS, UM, A SUBSTANTIAL PURCHASE OF PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT FOR THIS YEAR.
AND UM, SO I WOULD LIKE TO JUST GO AHEAD AND PLACE A HOLD ON THAT EEL BERG EQUIPMENT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO.
UM, WE'RE ALSO AT THE POINT IN THE YEAR NOW WHERE IT WOULD REALLY DISTURB THE EVENT SEASON OUT THERE, UM, TO DO ANYTHING.
AND SO I THINK IT'S BEST THAT WE JUST KEEP THAT ON OUR CIP LIST FOR FUTURE YEARS.
UM, IN ADDITION TO THAT, OH, I GUESS THE OTHER THING IS ON SATURDAY AFTER THE TREE GIVEAWAY, I'M GONNA TAKE A QUICK BREAK FOR LUNCH, THEN I'M GONNA HEAD BACK TO THE EEL BURGER WHERE I'M GONNA MEET MY FARMER'S MARKET VENDORS.
UM, SO, UM, IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO IS A VENDOR, PLEASE REMIND THEM IF YOU KNOW ANYONE'S STILL INTERESTED IN BEING A VENDOR, WE'LL BE THERE FROM ONE TO TWO.
THEY CAN COME AND GET INFO FROM ME, DO A MEET AND GREET BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY SIGN UP.
UM, AND THAT VENDOR APPLICATION IS STILL OPEN ONLINE.
SO VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE FARMER'S MARKET THIS SEASON.
UH, ONE THING I'D LIKE TO ADD TO YOUR NOTE THERE, SARAH, WHILE WE ARE ON THERE CONCERNING THE PICKLEBALL COURT, UH, I REALIZED I DROVE BY THE OTHER DAY AND THERE WAS SOME PEOPLE THERE WHO ARE USING PORTABLE NEXT BECAUSE THE LINES ARE THERE AND THE ISSUE IS, UH, IT BECAME VERY CLEAR TO ME THAT UNLESS WE PAINT THOSE PARKING SPACES THERE WHERE YOU, I THINK YOU CAN GET 15 CARS IN THERE, IT'S MY INSTRUMENT.
IF YOU DON'T PAINT THE LINES, YOU GET 10, YOU'LL BE LUCKY BECAUSE THE WAY THEY WAS PARKED, I THINK THERE WAS SIX PEOPLE THERE, THEY TOOK UP MOST OF THAT SPACE.
SO WE DEFINITELY NEED TO SEE ABOUT GETTING THE PUBLIC WORK DEPARTMENT GET TO PAINT THE LINE.
[00:10:01]
THE FIRST EIGHT PEOPLE THERE, IT WILL TAKE UP ALL THE PARKING SPACES.THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T TAKE A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY, BUT IT'LL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF, UH, CONVENIENCE WHEN WE GET DOWN THERE.
I'LL RELAY THAT EXCUSE, SEE IF THEY, UM, I KNOW THAT THAT PARK, UM, IS SLATED TO BE REPAVED.
THERE IS NOT A EXACT TIMELINE ON THAT THEY OFTEN LUMP IN PAVING PROJECTS WITH, WITH OTHER PAVING PROJECTS IN THE CITY.
SO, UM, I'LL JUST DOUBLE CHECK THE PUBLIC WORKS, BUT PUT THAT REQUEST IN.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR SARAH? COMMENTS? UM, YOU TALKED ABOUT DIAL PARK AND WE'RE GETTING THE GAZEBO, RIGHT? CORRECT.
WHAT IS CURRENTLY OUT THERE? IS THERE ANY SORT OF LIKE PATHS OR ANY LANDSCAPING THAT'S BEEN COMPLETED OR THERE'S NOT? SO THERE, UM, ALONG WITH THE GAZEBO, THERE'S THE, I CURRENTLY HAVE A LANDSCAPE DESIGNER WORKING ON LANDSCAPING OUT THERE, SO A NUMBER OF TREES WERE LOST IN THE 2019 TORNADOES I KNOW OUT THERE.
SO WE'RE GONNA BOLSTER THE TREE CANOPY AGAIN.
WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT SOME DIFFERENT PLANTINGS.
UM, I DON'T HAVE SPECIFICS ON THAT YET BECAUSE I'M STILL WAITING ON THE DESIGNER, BUT ONCE WE HAVE THAT WE'LL MAKE IT, UM, AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE AS WELL.
YEAH, I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THERE WAS ANYTHING COME ALONG WITH THE
IT SHOULD JUST BE A, LIKE AN AREA OF RESPITE FOR NATURE AND THE OKAY.
THE CITIZENS THAT LIVE DIRECTLY AROUND IT.
ANY OTHER COMMENT OR QUESTION? ALRIGHT, I GUESS WE'LL GO RIGHT ON ONTO TO NEW BUSINESS.
UM, I THINK WE GAVE OUR COMMENT TO, UH, SARAH ON THE, UH, COMMUNITY PARK.
YOU, YOU HAVE GOTTEN THOSE BACK TO ME, ALEX.
I'M STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM A NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE, BUT WE ARE, UM, MOVING ON TO THE COMMUNITY PARKS.
UM, SO WE, I HAVE GOTTEN FEEDBACK ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, UM, AND SO I THINK SOME OF THESE PAPERS WALKED AWAY, BUT IF YOU NEED ONE, CATCH ME AFTER THE MEETING AND I'LL GO MAKE MORE COPIES AND THEN WE'LL LOOK FOR THE MAY MEETING FOR YOU TO BE RETURNING YOUR COMMUNITY PARK WORKSHEETS.
IS THAT SEPARATE? YOU HAVEN'T SET THAT OUT, HAVE YOU? UM, I THINK SOME PEOPLE WHO CAME, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE LAST MEETING, BUT SOME PEOPLE WHO CAME, I THINK THEY PICKED UP THE PACKET AND AND WALKED AWAY WITH IT, BUT, UM, YOU WEREN'T THERE WERE YOU LAST MEETING? YOU ARE RIGHT.
UM, GO AHEAD, TAKE THOSE IF YOU NEED PLENTY OF TIME.
I DIDN'T, I I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT YOU EMAILED SOMETHING.
NO, THAT'S, I KNOW YOU MM-HMM,
I MAKE SURE I DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING.
I'M CHANGING UP THE MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION HERE.
UM, SO FEEL FREE TO JUST DO IT ON PAPER OR JUST TYPE UP ANSWERS IN WORD, UH, WHATEVER, OR IN AN EMAIL.
UM, SO I'LL LOOK TO HAVE THE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK BY NEXT MEETING.
UM, AND THEN IF ANYBODY STILL HAS NEIGHBORHOOD PARK WORKSHEETS, I WILL TAKE THEM.
I'LL ALWAYS TAKE THEM AND WE CAN ALWAYS ADD IT TO THE MIX.
AND THEN TALKING ABOUT THE RESULT OF THE MISSION AND VISION VALUES WORKSHEET, UM, YOU SHOULD HAVE A LITTLE WORD CLOUD IN FRONT OF YOU.
UM, AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, THEN I'LL GET YOU A COPY BECAUSE AGAIN, MY PACKETS ARE ALL MESSED UP.
UM, BUT THE PROPOSED DEPARTMENT VISION IS, UM, THAT, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY.
THE MISSION, THE PROPOSED DEPARTMENT MISSION IS THAT THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS, PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT EXISTS TO PROVIDE QUALITY PARKS, FACILITIES AND EXPERIENCES AND SERVICE TO COMMUNITY AND THE WELLBEING OF OUR CITIZENS.
I, I DID SEND THIS ONE OUT, I THINK ELECTRONICALLY.
UM, AND THEN THE PROPOSED VISION IS THAT THE DEPARTMENT WILL ENHANCE THE VITALITY AND EQUITABILITY OF OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS AND THE STEWARDSHIP OF PUBLIC RESOURCES FOR FUTURE AND PRESENT GENERATIONS.
I'LL MOVE ON, UM, TO THE VALUES.
SO THE VALUES THAT I'M THINKING ABOUT FOR THE DEPARTMENT ARE SUPPORT, SUSTAINABILITY, VIBRANCY, ENTHUSIASM, AND INGENUITY.
I THINK IT WAS ANDY THAT USED THE WORD VIBRANCY IN HIS QUESTIONNAIRE AND I JUST, I LOVE IT.
I THINK IT CAPTIVATES, UM, SO MUCH OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING, LOOKING TO SUPPORT WHEN IT COMES TO OUR CITIZENS AND THEN JUST THE NATURE OF THE CITY.
[00:15:02]
AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE BOARD MISSION WORD CLOUD, I HAVE PROVIDED THAT WORD CLOUD HERE FOR YOU.SOME TOP WORDS WERE ADVICE, VOICE RECOMMENDATION.
I THINK THOSE ARE ALL IN LINE WITH THE, UM, INTENDED PURPOSE OF THIS BOARD.
AND I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU GUYS TO THINK MORE AND CULTIVATE, UM, A MISSION STATEMENT.
THIS MISSION STATEMENT IS NOT TO REPLACE THE PURPOSE AS DEFINED IN THE CITY CHARTER.
IT'S TO GIVE YOU AHY TWO SENTENCE EXPLANATION OF WHY YOU EXIST.
SO IF YOU'RE OUT AT THE FARMER'S MARKET AND SOMEBODY GOES, WHAT DOES YOUR BOARD DO? UH, RATHER THAN HAVING TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THAT CHARTER, YOU CAN KIND OF SAY IT AND WILL BE, YOU KNOW, KNOW THAT YOUR FELLOW BOARD MEMBER IS ON THE SAME PAGE AS YOU.
UM, AND THEN WHEN SOMEBODY COMES AND MAKES A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OR A REQUEST OF THE BOARD, YOU HAVE THAT AS A TOOL TO KIND OF BOUNCE BACK AND GO, HMM, IS THAT MEETING OUR MISSION OR IS THAT BETTER SITUATED WITH SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE COMMUNITY? SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE'LL KEEP REVISITING THAT.
I THINK I'M GONNA TRY AND, UH, LEARN HOW TO USE THIS BOARD UP HERE SO WE CAN DO SOME ACTIVE QUESTIONS AT OUR NEXT MEETING.
UM, HAVING YOU GUYS WEIGH DIFFERENT, UM, PROJECTS FOR THE COMMUNITY, WEIGH DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON MISSION, VISION STATEMENT, THAT SORT OF THING.
SO LAST DIGEST, HAPPY TO MAKE COPIES FOR ANYBODY THAT I MISSED AFTER THE MEETING.
UM, I ALREADY HIT ON THE SHO GATE PARK AND EICHELBERGER PLAY STRUCTURES, BUT IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THOSE GUYS? I AM VERY EXCITED FOR THE SHOLL GATE PARK POLICE STRUCTURE.
IT HAS A LOT OF ACCESSIBLE FEATURES ON IT, UM, AND IT DOES HAVE A POURED IN PLACE SURFACING, SO IT'S VERY ACCESSIBLE, UM, TO THOSE THAT MAY HAVE PHYSICAL DISABILITIES ALREADY ALREADY.
UM, THE DOG PARK, OH, I ALSO ALREADY HIT ON THAT ONE, JUST THAT WE'RE GETTING THE NEW FENCE AND WE'RE TRYING TO SHUT IT DOWN ONE AT A TIME.
AND FINALLY, THE WEBSITE, I THINK I TOUCHED ON THAT, BUT I HAVE ADDED A PARK IMPROVEMENTS TAB TO THE WEBPAGE.
I'VE ALSO KIND OF LINKED ALONGSIDE THE FARMER'S MARKET AND SENIOR CENTER AND SOME OTHER, UM, FUNCTIONS THAT FALL UNDER THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT.
IF YOU GUYS WOULDN'T MIND TAKING A PEEK AT IT AND GIVING ME ANY SORT OF ADVICE ON WHAT YOU WOULD HOPE TO FIND THERE, OR IF YOU DO GO THERE AND FIND SOMETHING BUT YOU FELT LIKE YOU HAD TO DIG FOR THAT INFORMATION, UM, I WOULD LOVE THAT.
UM, IF YOU USE OTHER PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENTS OR OTHER RECREATION PROVIDERS LIKE THE Y WHAT ARE YOU FINDING ON THEIR WEBSITE THAT WE SHOULD ALSO HAVE ON OURS? UM, THAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL TO ME.
OH GOSH, IT JUST KEEPS GOING DOESN'T IT?
OKAY, SO NEXT WE'RE MOVING ALONG TO THE COMMUNITY PARK WORKSHEETS.
THOSE GUYS, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE IN FRONT OF YOU, I'LL GET YOU ONE.
BUT SAME DEAL AS WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK SHEETS.
UM, I REALIZE I'M MOVING ON WITHOUT ALEX MOVING US ON.
IS IT OKAY IF I GO ON TO, ARE THEY, OH, KEEP GOING.
UM, BY NOW YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS NO EARTH DAY EVENT PLANNED BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BEGGED YOU TO VOLUNTEER TO BE THERE.
UM, THIS YEAR, UM, AFTER COMMUNICATING WITH BLAKE AND, AND NOT HAVING, UM, JUST A, NOT HAVING THE SAME LOCATION AS PAST YEARS AND NOT HAVING A TON OF DIRECTION ON HOW WE WANTED TO GO, UM, IT WAS DECIDED TO JUST FOREGO IT FOR THIS YEAR AND FOCUS ON THE TREE GIVEAWAY.
UM, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN BRING BACK IN FUTURE YEARS.
IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN MESH WITH THE TREE GIVEAWAY OR IF WE WANNA DO SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT IN THE FUTURE, BUT IT WON'T BE HAPPENING.
SO HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE REALIZED THAT.
AND THEN I ALSO TOOK A REQUEST FROM MS. CINDY DAVIDSON AND AS YOU KNOW, HER, UM, NONPROFIT HOLDS THE HUBER HANS EVENT OUT IN THE PARK AT CLOUD PARK.
UM, IT HAS A VERY LARGE FOLLOWING AND SHE REQUESTED SOME ASSISTANCE THIS YEAR.
SHE THINKS THAT SHE'S GETTING REALLY BIG, UM, AND SHE JUST NEEDS SOME VOLUNTEERS TO, UM, VOLUNTEER IN DIFFERENT AREAS.
I TOLD HER I HAVE A BOARD WITH DIVERSE INTERESTS AND UM, CERTAINLY GREAT MINDS FOR RECREATION AND, UH, TOLD HER I WOULD VOLUNTEER OUT THERE FOR SOMETHING.
SO IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING AND WANNA SUPPORT THAT, UM, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO RELAY THAT TO HER.
DO WE HAVE A DATE ON THAT SUNDAY? OCTOBER.
[00:20:01]
HELP OUT WITH THAT.UM, THEN MY WIFE CAN TAKE THE KIDS AND PUT THEM HAVE FUN.
UM, SO ARE, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS LIKE AS FAR AS THE HAUNT, LIKE WHAT OUR INVOLVEMENT IS GOING TO BE WITH THAT? OR HOW WILL THIS, IF WE ARE GOING TO WORK WITH HER ON THIS, HOW HOW IS THAT GOING? HOW WOULD THAT PROCEED? WHAT'S, I THINK THERE'S KIND OF TWO WAYS TO GO ABOUT IT THIS YEAR.
I THINK YOU COULD AS A BOARD VOTE AND DECIDE TO SUPPORT IT WITH YOUR, WITH VOLUNTEERISM AND THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A PRESENCE OUT THERE AS A BOARD I THINK TOO, YOU COULD SAY, UM, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE'LL JUST VOLUNTEER WITH HER OTHER VOLUNTEERS TO UM, GET A SENSE OF THE EVENT THIS YEAR AND THEN SEE HOW THE RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPS FOR FUTURE YEARS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR SARAH? ARE YOU DONE, SARAH? I THINK SO.
UM, IF WE HAVE NO MORE QUESTIONS THAN ON THE UH, CALL OF NEW BUSINESS, UH, WE'LL GO RIGHT ON TO ITEM SEVEN THERE.
THERE'LL BE THE ADDITIONAL BUSINESS AND ANNOUNCEMENT.
AND, UH, ONE THING I WANT TO BRING UP THAT I THINK MAYBE I HAVE CHRIS, HELP US WITH THIS AND THAT IS THE HOOP FOR HOPE THREE ON THREE.
GIVE US MORE DETAILS ON THAT, WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM US HERE, THE BOARD.
YEAH, SO BASICALLY WHAT WHAT WE ARE HOPING FOR IS FOR A WAY FOR US TO ADVERTISE THIS THROUGH THE CITY PAGE, WHICH WE REFLECT TO NEXT PAGE.
UH, WE WERE HOPING TO HAVE IT IN HUBER HEIGHTS THAT DIDN'T PAN OUT FOR US.
SO WE ARE TEAMING WITH GOLD FOR THE GOLD HUBER.
WHEN I SAY WE, HUBER HEIGHTS BASKETBALL LEAGUE IS TEAMING WITH GOLD FOR THE GOLD.
UH, THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR OF THIS EVENT.
I WAS THERE LAST YEAR WITH MY SON AND HIS TWO FRIENDS AND IT WAS A GREAT EVENT.
UM, AND I ASKED HER, I SAID, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE MAKE THIS BIGGER? AND SHE SAID WE NEED MORE HELP.
SO I VOLUNTEERED MY BOARD ON THE SPOT TO BE MORE HELP.
SO IF WE CAN GET THE CITY TO KIND OF BACK US A LITTLE BIT AND AT LEAST PUT IT OUT THERE ON THE WEBSITE, IT'S FREE.
IT'LL COST ANY MONEY FOR THE PLAYERS TO REGISTER.
UM, I THINK THEY ARE GONNA CHARGE AN ADMISSION FOR ADULTS TO GET IN JUST 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO PAY REFEREES.
UM, THERE'S A NICE OLD RAFFLE.
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF PRIZES DONATED BY PLACES.
UH, THERE'S A FORMER WNBA IN TWO TIME OLYMPIC GOLD WINNER, UH, RUTHIE BOLTON AND, UH, FORMER NBA PLAYED WESLEY MELLON PRONOUNCE IT PROBABLY I, HE WAS THERE LAST YEAR.
HE SIGNED T-SHIRTS FOR THE KIDS.
HE WENT OUT THERE AND PLAYED WITH THEM.
UM, JUNE 22ND, 10 TO FOUR, AGES 10 TO 18.
UH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM.
WE'RE HAVE A YOUNG LADY FROM UNIVERSITY, THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.
UH, WE ARE TRYING TO GET THE, WE ARE WARRIOR GIRLS TO DANCE, BUT I THINK IT'S OUTSIDE OF THEIR SEASON SO WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THAT.
UM, WE WERE REACHING OUT TO A COUPLE LOCAL BANDS TO SEE IF THEY WANTED TO SEND A SMALL BAND TO PLAY SOMETHING FOR US.
UH, IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUTH TALENT.
UM, THEY DID A SCHOLARSHIP FOR THE T-SHIRT DESIGN.
WE HAD EIGHT ENTRIES FOR T-SHIRT DESIGN AND I DIDN'T BELIEVE THE SCHOLARSHIP WAS $500 SCHOLARSHIP, UH, BASED ON THE WINTER.
LIKE I SAID, IT DON'T COST THE KIDS ANYTHING.
UM, IT'S JUST A GOOD TIME TO GET TOGETHER.
YOU REGISTER BY YOURSELF, YOU CAN REGISTER FOUR KIDS AT A TIME.
IT'S REALLY UP TO HOWEVER YOU WANT TO DO IT.
'CAUSE WE WANT TO INCLUDE EVERYBODY.
SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE THREE OTHER BUDDIES, WE DON'T WANT TO LEAVE YOU OUT.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE THREE, YOU KNOW, SINGLE REGISTERS AND WE'LL PUT THEM TOGETHER ON A TEAM.
UM, IT'S GONNA BE THE STUDENT ACTIVITY CENTER IN VANDALIA, WHICH IS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
UM, HOPEFULLY WE HAVE ENOUGH NUMBERS TO SUPPORT THAT.
IF WE DON'T, WE MOVE TO MORTON MIDDLE SCHOOL, WE WILL ANNOUNCE THAT FOR THE EVENT.
BUT WE ARE LOOKING FOR AT LEAST 300 KIDS TO DO THIS.
SO EVERY HELP THAT WE CAN GET WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
WE'RE ADVERTISING IN OUR LEAGUE, YOU KNOW, ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE, ALL OUR SOCIAL MEDIA.
I'M GONNA ASK CHRIS AS THE Y CAN PUT SOMETHING OUT FOR US ON THEIR WEBPAGE AND UH, YOU KNOW, HANDING OUT FLYERS TO ALL THE SCHOOLS.
ANYBODY GOT ANY QUESTIONS? SO YOU JUST WANT FOUR ON A TEAM? FOUR ON A TEAM? IT'S THREE V THREE WITH A SUB.
IS THERE, I KNOW YOU, UM, EMAILED THROUGH THE FLYER, BUT IS THERE LIKE A FACEBOOK EVENT THAT YOU MIGHT UH, I THINK IF NOT, WE CAN DEFINITELY CREATE ONE THROUGH HHBL.
'CAUSE THAT WOULD BE EASY TO SHARE THROUGH THAT.
JOHN, MY, MY FACEBOOK LEADER WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
EVERYBODY GOT THEIR FLYER, IF THEY WANNA SHARE IT ON THEIR SOCIAL
[00:25:01]
MEDIA, I'D APPRECIATE IT.YOU HAVE TO HHB.ORG, YOU CAN SHARE IT STRAIGHT THROUGH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA.
YOU KNOW, 300 KIDS IS THE TARGET.
HOW MANY YOU HAVE SIGNED UP RIGHT NOW, CHRIS? I THINK RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT 18, BUT THERE AGAIN, IT'S A WHILE OFF, SO YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE ARE GONNA WAIT TILL THAT LAST WEEK AND START HAMMERING.
UM, IT, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD LESSONS, A LOT OF GOOD SPEECHES GIVEN BY THE, THE, THE PEOPLE THERE.
YOU KNOW, MR. SHAW, IF ANYBODY KNOWS HIM, MR. SHAW'S SON CAME WITH MY SON LAST YEAR.
HE CLEANED OUT ON THE RAFFLES, HE WON LIKE FIVE ITEMS ON THE RAFFLE FOR 20 BUCKS.
LIKE WE JUST KEEP PULLING HIS NAME OUT OF THE HAT AND I'M LIKE, MAN, I DIDN'T KNOW NOTHING.
I PUT 30 BUCKS IN IT SO YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD.
THEY WERE GIVING AWAY GRA AND DRAGON TICKETS AND WENDY'S COUPONS AND FOR FREE SANDWICHES AND STUFF.
SO IT PLANS TO HAVE A GIRLS RACKET IN THIS OR IS IT I THINK IT'S JUST GONNA BE CO-ED.
HONESTLY, SO IF YOU KNOW YOU LAST YEAR WE DID CO-ED.
I CAN'T SAY WE WAS A PART OF IT LAST YEAR.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS ON THAT? ALRIGHT, UH, ANOTHER ITEM I WANTED TO BRING UP WAS, UM, I GUESS MORE OF A QUESTION FOR SARAH AND UH, CHRIS, WHAT'S THE STATUS ON REPLACEMENTS FOR THE, UH, BOARD? SO WE HAVE THREE VACANT SEATS GOING.
THAT WAS JUST REPOSTED AS A, AS A NEWS, UM, RELEASE TODAY OR YESTERDAY.
UM, IT WAS NEW IN MY INBOX THOUGH WHEN I LOOKED TODAY.
UM, SO RECENTLY WE, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY APPLICANTS, UM, STILL.
SO DO YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT MAY BE INTERESTED? UM, SEND THEM OUR WAY? I'M TRYING.
THIS MAY NOT BE NEW BUSINESS, BUT IT IS A QUESTION I HAVE.
SO I RECENTLY VOLUNTEERED WITH THE HUBER HEIGHTS SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL ASSOCIATION.
SO I RECENTLY VOLUNTEERED WITH THEM TO BE A COACH AND AFTER THE COACHING MEETING WE WERE TALKING ABOUT DUGOUTS AT CLOUD PARK AND WE HAVE A BUSINESS READY TO DONATE THEIR TIME TO BUILD THESE THAT WE WERE TOLD BY ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT WE COULDN'T DO THAT BECAUSE THE CITY OF HUBBERT SAID IT HAS TO BE A UNION JOB.
SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO CHECK INTO THAT BECAUSE IF WE HAVE A MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERING FREE LABOR AND THE BASEBALL ASSOCIATION'S BUYING THE MATERIAL, UM, NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, THAT IS NOT SOMETHING I HAVE EVER TOLD ANYONE.
UH, SO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT DIDN'T SAY IT.
UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S LEFT OVER FROM YEARS PAST, UM, CERTAIN DIRECTION.
UM, I AM NOT AWARE THAT WE HAVE THAT MANY UNION HANGUPS, UM, WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
I THINK THEY'RE A PRETTY GREAT GROUP OF GUYS AND THEY WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.
IF YOU COULD GET THAT ORGANIZATION TO CONTACT ME, UM, SO THAT I COULD TALK TO THEM ABOUT SPECS AND THEN WHATEVER LEVEL OF RECOGNITION THEY WOULD WANT FOR THAT.
UM, WE DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A NAMING POLICY FOR ITEMS IN OUR PARKS, BUT THIS IS A GREAT INITIATION TO GET ONE.
UM, WHETHER THAT'S THAT'S FOR A HANDFUL OF YEARS OR IN PERPETUITY OR UNTIL IT'S IN DISREPAIR OR WHATEVER, BUT WE JUST NEED, I WANNA BE ABLE TO ASSURE THEM OF WHAT THEY'RE GETTING.
I'M NOT, I'M NOT SURE THEY WERE ASKING FOR ANYTHING.
I THINK THEY WERE JUST BUILDING IT BECAUSE THEY LOVED THE ORGANIZATION AND KIDS.
YEAH, IT'S UNDER MY WAY PLEASE.
SOME FREE HELP THERE, HUH? OKAY.
UM, ANOTHER ISSUE I WANTED TO BRING UP WAS, UH, WE HAD PROPOSED ANOTHER PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT IN SEPTEMBER.
I THOUGHT IT WAS THE 26TH AND 27TH.
UH, WE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE THAT DATE BECAUSE IT'S ANOTHER EVENT WITH ALL OF THE WIVES IN THE AREA THAT HAPPENED THAT WEEK THAT'S COME CALL SENIOR SHOWCASE THAT WHERE ALL THE, THE OLD FOLKS
AND SO, UH, IT ENDS THAT FRIDAY AND THAT WAS ONE DAY WE WERE GOING TO BE HAVING THE EVENT DOWN AT CLOUD PARK, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY PARK.
SO WE NEED TO MOVE THAT UP WEEK OR BACK A WEEK AND WE GOTTA MOVE IT.
I WOULD SUGGEST WE TRY TO MOVE IT FORWARD A WEEK OR GOING INTO OCTOBER AND THAT THE WEATHER COULD CHANGE AS WE KNOW AT OHIO END.
SO MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THAT WE LOOK AT MOVING
[00:30:01]
THAT FORWARD A WEEK AND SEE IF WE HAVE ANY ISSUE THERE THAT CAUSED US ANY PROBLEM THAT UH, WE CAN'T HAVE IT THEN.AND UH, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I THINK WE HAVE IT SCHEDULED FOR THE 27TH AND 28TH WHAT WE HAD PROPOSED AND THE EVENT FOR THE WIRE GONNA BE BETWEEN THE 23RD AND THE 27TH AND THERE'S AN OVERLAP THERE.
SO I'M GOING TO SUGGEST THAT WE TRY AND LOOK AT THE PREVIOUS WEEK WAS TO BE SEPTEMBER THE 20TH AND 21ST.
IF YOU KNOW OF AN EVENT THAT GOING TO CAUSE US A CONFLICT THERE, LET US KNOW IF WE GO IN THROUGH THE SUMMER THAT WE CAN CHANGE THAT BEFORE WE START ADVERTISING IT.
DO, DO WE HAVE A RAINOUT DATE FOR THIS OR PLAYING THE RAIN? AND THE ANSWER IS WE DID NOT PICK ONE YET, BUT I WAS SUGGESTING WE ARE GOING TO DO JUST MOVE IT BACK A WEEK OR WHATEVER.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY AND THAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT TOO.
THAT WOULD BE EASY TO COMMUNICATE THE CHANGE BECAUSE ONCE WE GET EVERYBODY SIGNED UP WITH THEIR PHONE NUMBER, IT'LL BE EASY TO UPDATE THAT THEN.
SO FOR THAT NEXT, NEXT MONTH WHEN WE COME, I'LL MAKE SURE WE HAVE A DETAILED LIST OF THINGS WE'RE GOING TO NEED FOR THAT EVENT BECAUSE THAT'D BE THE LAST MEETING BEFORE THE JUNE UH, JUNE EVENT.
SO I GAVE SARAH A COUPLE EVENTS THERE.
YOU KNOW, WE GET THE SQUEEGEE AND THE TENT.
WE GOING TO NEED TABLE, WE ALREADY HAVE, BUT WE NEED ANOTHER TABLE FOR THE, UH, THE ADMINISTRATOR FOR THAT EVENT THERE.
SO THEN FOR THE RAINOUT DATE, FOR THE SEPTEMBER 21ST THOUGH, YOU WILL NOT WANT THAT TO BE THE FOLLOWING WEEK, RIGHT? 'CAUSE WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN? THE RAINOUT DATE FOR SEPTEMBER 21ST.
YOU WILL PROBABLY NOT WANT THAT TO BE THE NEXT WEEK BECAUSE THAT RUNS INTO YOUR THAT CORRECT.
WE COULDN'T MOVE IT BACK TO THE FOLLOWING WEEK BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE, UH, THE SENIOR SHOWCASE.
SO YOUR RATE DATE WOULD BE BACK A WEEK.
I MEAN SOMETHING YEAH, I REMEMBER USUALLY THAT WOULD WEEKEND OCTOBER 1ST IT WAS 90 SOMETHING DEGREES OUTSIDE.
YEAH, THAT WOULD BE THE FOURTH AND THE FIFTH.
YEAH, IT MOVING BACK WE WOULD GO TO THE FOURTH AND THE 5TH OF OCTOBER THEN.
THAT'S, SO YOU GO BACK TO OCTOBER, IF WE HAVE RAIN UPDATE FOR THE, UH, FOR THE SEPTEMBER EVENT, IT'LL BE UH, OCTOBER 4TH AND THE FIFTH.
IT'LL BE THAT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
YOU GONNA LET DENNIS PLAY? OH YEAH, DENNIS PLAYED
HE BEEN WINNING ALL THE MEDALS.
I GUESS HE, HE DON'T NEED TO PLAY ANYMORE.
HE GOT ALL THE GOLD AT HOME
YOU YOU TOLD ME THAT RIGHT? ALREADY.
YEAH, I MAY HAVE TOLD YOU ALREADY.
I'LL MARKING P TOOK CARE OF IT.
I, BECAUSE YOU COULD USUALLY JUST USE THE PADDLE ONCE, SAY 20 AND ONE, SAY 24.
YEAH, I MEAN IT WOULD LOOK GOOD THEN, RIGHT? YOU PUT IT ON ON THE PADDLE, YOU JUST RIGHT THERE, BUT ON THE BASE, ANYWHERE ON THERE ON THE PADDLE.
UH, THOSE ARE THE ONLY COMMENTS I HAVE.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT THE, UH, THE ACTIVITIES OF THE KIDS' BASEBALL, I MEAN BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT OR THE, UH, PICKLEBALL DATES OR THE REFLECT FOR THE BOARD? I, I'LL DO BRIAN, I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE ANY NEW REPLACEMENTS, BUT I'M STILL INTERESTED IN, YOU KNOW, THE, THE TOUR OF THE PARKS.
I KNOW WE PUT ON HOLD BECAUSE OF HOPING TO GET NEW BOARD MEMBERS, BUT I DON'T WANT TO WAIT TOO LONG WAITING FOR NEW BOARD MEMBERS.
I STILL WANT TO GET OUT THERE.
SO I KNOW THERE'S STILL CO A COUPLE PEOPLE THAT HADN'T SEEN THE CHANGES OR HASN'T BEEN RELATED TO ALL THE PARKS YET, SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WAS POSSIBILITY.
DO WE JUST PLAN FOR JUNE MAYBE AND WE'LL JUST SAY IT'S JUNE NO MATTER WHAT, WHETHER WE HAVE NEW PEOPLE OR NOT.
UM, BUT THAT WAY WE DO STILL HAVE THE MONTH OF MAY TO TRY AND GET SOMEBODY AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE YOUR FEEDBACK ON NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY PARKS.
