FRANK BRIAN TEDDY, CHRISTOPHER HALL.
DO I HAVE A MOTION TO EXCUSE THE ONES THAT ARE ABSENT? DO I HAVE A MOTION TO EXCUSE THE ONE THAT ABSENT? OH SIR.
JUSTIN, DO YOU HAVE A SECOND? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
NEXT ITEM THERE IS OPEN REMARKS BY THE CHAIR.
UH, AND I WOULD LIKE TO START OUT BY GIVING THE BOARD AN UPDATE ON THE, UH, WE NEED TO SWEAR HER IN BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, YOU NEED TO SWEAR HER IN.
LET'S PAUSE FOR A MOMENT HERE AND SWAY IN MS. CASEY, KAYLA.
RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND YES OR BE I CASEY TAYLOR.
CASEY TAYLOR, DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM DO SO SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES TO SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF OHIO, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF OHIO, THE CHARTER AND ALL ORDINANCE, THE CHARTER AND ALL ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF YUBA HEIGHTS OF THE CITY OF GILBERT HEIGHTS.
AND THAT I WILL FAITHFUL AND THAT I HAVE FAITHFULLY HONESTY, HONESTLY, AND IMPARTIAL, DISCHARGED AND IMPARTIALLY DISCHARGED THE DUTIES ON MY OFFICE.
NOW YOU PUT YOUR HOUSE ON THE MARKET NOW
HERE YOU SAID, ALL RIGHT, NOW YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.
OKAY, WE'RE GONNA BACKTRACK A BIT THERE.
WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO THE OPENING COMMENTS BY THE CHAIR.
WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO WAS TO UPDATE YOU ON THE FEEDBACK, UH, FROM THE, UH, COUNCIL WORK SECTION.
WE HAD ON JUNE 2ND, I'M SORRY, JULY 2ND WITH CITY COUNCIL.
UH, THEY WERE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT AND THE PICKLEBALL COURTS.
THEY SAW PICTURES OF THAT AND GOT THE FEEDBACK FROM THAT.
AND THE PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT WENT BETTER THAN EVEN I HAD ANTICIPATED GOING.
SO WE GOT A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK.
WE HAD A COUPLE THINGS THAT CAME UP, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING UNUSUAL FOR US ABOUT THE COURTS CONDITION OF THE COURTS.
EVERYBODY WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THAT.
UM, THE COUNCIL ALSO APPRECIATED THE STAT AND THE DATA THAT WE GAVE THEM.
IN OTHER WORDS, WE GAVE THEM FEEDBACK ON HOW MANY PEOPLE WAS USING THE Y DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THERE.
UM, OTHER EVENTS THAT WE WERE PLANNING, LIKE THE, JUST THE, THE YOUTH BASKETBALL AT THE WIDE THERE, KIDS INVOLVED IN SOFTBALL, SWIM LESSON.
SO THEY WANT TO SEE MORE OF THAT.
THEY KIND OF LIKE SEEING THE NUMBERS, TELLING THEM THINGS ARE GOING WELL IS ONE THING, BUT WHEN THEY CAN SEE THE NUMBERS, THAT MEANT MORE TO THEM.
SO I THINK WHAT WE DO EACH TIME WE GIVE AN UPDATE, WE WOULD LOOK AT TRYING TO GIVE THEM FEEDBACK ON HOW THINGS ARE GOING.
UH, THE ONE THING I TOOK AWAY FROM THAT, LISTENED TO THEM AS, UH, I GAVE THE PRESENTATION ON THE, UM, BOARD AND OUR ACTIVITIES.
THEN AFTER SARAH GOT UP AND GAVE THEM INPUT ON THE PARK MANAGEMENT, SARAH INDICATED IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE MAKING IMPROVEMENTS IN FACILITIES, PUT THE MONEY WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE.
I TOOK THAT TO MEAN IF YOU GOT PEOPLE PLAYING SOFTBALL OR SOCCER,
[00:05:01]
DON'T SAY, WELL, THEY GOT ENOUGH.IN OTHER WORDS, PUT MORE THERE.
IF THEY, IF PEOPLE ARE COMING TO AN EVENT VEST THE MONEY WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE, WHAT THE EXACT WORK THAT TWO OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TOLD US TO DO, AND EVERYBODY ELSE SEEMS TO NOD THEIR HEAD AND LIKE THAT IDEA.
SO WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO DO THEN IS IF WE GOT GOING THROUGH THAT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANNING, NEED TO FOCUS ON THAT AS TO WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE NOW.
AND DON'T TRY AND DRIVE THEM, YOU SAYING BY PUTTING SOMETHING THERE, HOPING THEY WILL COME IF THEY'RE ALREADY THERE, FOCUS ON THAT.
AND SO, UH, I MAKE THAT POINT CLEAR TO THEM THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT THAT.
BUT WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.
THE OTHER THING WAS THAT, UM, IF WE ARE STARTING A PROJECT, THEY SAY HAVE AN OUTCOME, HAVE AN END GOAL.
WHAT DO WE EXPECT THIS TO LOOK LIKE, SAY IN THREE YEARS? DON'T PUT SOMETHING THERE AND THEN START AND GO SOMEPLACE ELSE.
AND NEXT, IN OTHER WORDS, HAVE A PLAN TO GET ALL THE WAY TO THE END.
AND SO, UM, THAT WILL ALSO BE DISCUSSED WHEN WE START GOING THROUGH THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANNING THERE WITH SARAH.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I'D JUST LIKE TO WELCOME UH, ROGER.
ALRIGHT, NOW YOU KNOW DENNIS, RIGHT? YES.
AND WE'LL GO AHEAD ON THAT AND GO BACK TO THAT, TO THE AGENDA THERE CHRIS.
OH, WE HAVE NO CITIZEN COMMENTS.
ITEM FIVE ON THE AGENDA IS OLD BUSINESS AND THAT'LL BE THE YMCA UPDATE AND THAT'LL BE CHRIS.
YEAH, SO, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE HALFWAY THROUGH THE SUMMER.
UM, THE AQUATIC CENTER, UM, SO FAR THROUGH THE END OF JUNE IS SEEN OVER 18,000 VISITS.
UM, WE HAVE 367, UH, MEMBERSHIPS, WHICH IS AN INCREASE OF, OF OVER 40 COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
UM, SHELTERS AND COMMUNITY CENTER, UM, CONTINUE TO GET UTILIZED QUITE OFTEN.
UM, WE'RE WORKING THROUGH SOME, SOME THINGS AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, UM, WITH JUST, UH, KEEPING THE FACILITY LOOKING GOOD AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THE THINGS THAT PARTIES ARE DOING, THE THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO DO.
UM, AND THEN DOWN AT THE SPLASH PAD, UM, SO FAR THIS YEAR IT'S RAN WELL.
UM, I THINK WE HAD A, UH, AN ISSUE EARLIER THIS WEEK AND IT'S JUST BECAUSE THERE WAS A POWER SURGE AND IT MESSED UP THE AUTOMATIC TIMER, UM, BY LIKE FIVE OR 10 MINUTES AND SOMEBODY CALLED UP TO, TO SAY IT WASN'T WORKING.
IT WAS JUST POWER SURGE ON THE SOUTH END OF TOWN.
HAD THE POWER OFF FOR FIVE MINUTES, BUT, UM, IT'S BEEN RUNNING WELL AND I KNOW, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF SARAH WILL TALK ABOUT IT TODAY OR NOT, BUT I KNOW THAT SHE'S BEEN COMING BEFORE COUNCIL HER AND MIKE TO TALK ABOUT, UM, SPLASH PAD, UM, UPDATE.
UM, AND THEN, UM, WE HAVE ALL OF OUR FALL USER GROUPS IN AT CLOUD.
UM, WE HAVE BASEBALL SOFTBALL, WE HAVE HUBER REC SOCCER, WE HAVE CLUB OHIO.
UM, AND THEN WE HAVE AZTECS, UH, FC, WHICH IS A NEW GROUP THAT WE ADDED, UM, UM, THIS SPRING.
SO IT WILL BE EXTREMELY BUSY DOWN AT CLOUD PARK, UM, THIS FALL.
WHERE, WHERE ARE THEY AT? UH, I COULDN'T TELL YOU WHERE THEY CAME.
THEY'RE, THEY, BRIAN KNOWS WHO THEY ARE.
UM, BUT THEY PLAY ON THE, UM, 10 B AND 11 THE FIELDS THAT NOBODY'S USED FOR A WHILE GOING UP THE HILL.
SO THEY PLAY THERE THIS SPRING.
UM, AND THEY'LL BE BACK THERE THIS FALL.
AND THEN CLUB OHIO, UM, I THINK SANDY HAS THE JUST TWO FIELDS THIS FALL.
AND THEN REC SOCCER HAD, UH, WHAT, SEVEN OR EIGHT FIELDS? NOT QUITE SURE YET.
UM, WE'RE UP TO 356, NO, LITTLE OVER 300.
AND THEN WE'LL HAVE, UH, FLIGHT OR, UH, NOT FLIGHT FOOTBALL, BUT WE'LL HAVE, UH, FOOTBALL DOWN THERE AS WELL.
UM, I DID TRY TO GET THEM TO MOVE TO COTTONWOOD, BUT THIS YEAR THEY FELT LIKE THEY NEEDED TO STAY AT CLOUD, BUT COTTONWOOD IS AN OPTION, UH, POTENTIALLY FOR NEXT FALL.
SO I DID BRING THAT UP TO THEM.
SO OTHER THAN THAT, THAT'S ALL I GOT.
ANY QUESTION FOR CHRIS BEFORE WE MOVE ON? WE, UH, JUST, SARAH PROBABLY TALKED ABOUT IT.
LIGHT BAG PROBLEMS WITH THE SLIP.
I MEAN, YOU DON'T TAKE CARE OF THAT ONE COMES UM, YEAH, I BELIEVE WE'RE ALREADY IN A LITTLE BETTER SITUATION THAN WE WERE.
I THINK ONE OF THE CLEAN OUTS OF THE FILTERS LEFT SOME SAND AND THEN WHEN THAT MIXED WITH THE WATER, IT MADE IT A LITTLE SLIPPERY THAN USUAL.
SO I THINK WE'VE ALREADY SEEN, UM, IMPROVEMENTS,
[00:10:01]
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, CHRIS.UH, BUT YEAH, WE'LL BE LOOKING AT NEW SURFACING WHEN WE INSTALL ALL NEW SPLASH PADS.
SO I WOULD IMAGINE THAT WE WON'T HAVE AS MUCH OF THAT ISSUE.
BUT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE WHO FALL WHEN THEY RUN AT THE SPLASH PACK.
IF YOU GO DOWN AND WATCH, THEY'RE SPRINTING ACROSS AND THEN YOU SEE 'EM BITE IT AND YOU'RE LIKE, THE OTHER THING I HEARD WAS THE WATER WAS COMING OUT REALLY HARD.
I MEAN IT'S, IT'S, IT, YOU HAVE TO KIND OF BALANCE IT OUT.
UM, 'CAUSE IF YOU TURN IT DOWN TOO MUCH WITH AS OLD AS THAT IS, YOU MAY NOT GET ENOUGH PRESSURE TO GET OUT WATER.
SO YOU HAVE TO REALLY KIND OF BALANCE AND IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT TO DIAL IT IN.
BUT I SAID WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH IT BREAKING DOWN OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO DO WE, DO WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, YOU HEAR ALL THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
THERE'S SOME WEIRD LEGALITIES WITH IT BECOMING A PUBLIC FORUM IN THAT CAPACITY, IN WHICH CASE THEN PEOPLE CAN DO THINGS LIKE CALL FOR VOTES AND, AND OTHER, UH, OR CLAIM THAT THEY WERE UNHEARD OR DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE WE MISSED A COMMENT EVEN THOUGH WE COMMENTED ON SOMETHING RIGHT ABOVE IT.
UM, SO WE DON'T GET ON THE PUBLIC SITES.
HOWEVER, COMMENTS THAT ARE POSTED ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES ARE TYPICALLY DIRECTLY ADDRESSED OR THE PERSON IS CONTACTED PRIVATELY IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD, YOU KNOW, INVOLVE NEEDING TO KNOW THEIR ADDRESS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, SO I WOULD PUSH PEOPLE, YOU AS BOARD MEMBERS ARE WELCOME TO PUSH PEOPLE TO OUR PAGES.
UM, I KNOW WHERE I CAME FROM PREVIOUSLY, WE HAD SOME ADVOCATES IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WOULD JUST BE LIKE, CALL 'EM, CALL 'EM, HERE'S THE NUMBER.
AND JUST KIND OF, AND THAT HELPED GET PEOPLE WHERE THEY NEEDED TO GO.
UM, BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT MY PRACTICE, NOR DO I THINK IT WILL BE IN THE FUTURE TO RESPOND DIRECTLY ON PUBLIC CHATS.
YEAH, I WAS JUST THINKING THAT WHAT HAPPENS IS SOMEBODY MAKES A COMMENT, SOMEBODY ELSE MAKES A COMMENT TO SOMEBODY ELSE SAYS THIS AND THAT.
PRETTY SOON SOMEBODY MOVING INTO THE AREA SAYS, WELL MAYBE I DON'T WANT TO MOVE THERE.
THEY HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T REALIZE YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
I THINK EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD CHAT IS LIKE THAT THOUGH.
I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WOULD MOVE ANYWHERE.
THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD STAY OFF SOCIAL MEDIA.
DENNIS
WELL SHE NEEDS TO POST THE PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD MEETING IS THE THIRD THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH AT 6:30 PM YOU CAN COME TALK TO US OR CALL US OR EMAIL US.
WE HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA SITE AS WELL FOR THE PARK REC.
WE DO, WE HAVE A PARKS AND REC PAGE.
AND WHEN PEOPLE COMMENT DIRECTLY, WE, UNLESS IT'S LIKE GREAT IDEA, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE TRY TO RESPOND TO, WE TRY TO RESPOND TO IT.
UM, OR WE CAN TELL THEM, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA BE MORE SENSITIVE, WE ASK THEM TO CALL US OR EMAIL US.
BUT YEAH, THAT BRINGS UP ANOTHER INTERESTING POINT TOO.
UM, WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO GET THE, UH, VOLLEY THE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT HERE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, ORGANIZED AND ALSO WITH THE PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT, UH, SEVERAL PEOPLE CAME TO ME.
THEY WERE HAVING SO MUCH FUN DOWN THERE AND THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHY COULDN'T WE DO DO ANOTHER PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT? I SAID, WELL, WE'RE GOING TO DO ONE IN SEPTEMBER.
THEY WANT TO KNOW COULD WE DO ONE SOONER? WELL, THE ANSWER WAS, I SAID, WE WILL TRY AND GET IT ORGANIZED.
WELL THE QUESTION WAS, WHO ORGANIZED THAT? AND I SAID, WELL, I THOUGHT I THREW THE BALL BACK ON CHRIS.
I SAID, I THINK THE Y EXECUTIVE IS THE ONE THAT, THAT SCHEDULED YOU AND ORGANIZED THE, UH, PICKUP BALL TOURNAMENT YOU HAD TO PROVE.
BUT UM, THAT LEFT ME SORT OF ONE, YOU KNOW, WHERE DID THE DIVIDE IN LINE BETWEEN YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, WAIT, I SEE HIM THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE FACILITIES AND SO FORTH, RIGHT? CORRECT.
IT'S KIND OF A UNIQUE SITUATION, UM, HERE, BUT CHRIS DOES HANDLE THE PROGRAMMATIC ASPECTS FOR FITNESS, WELLNESS, ATHLETICS, THE, ALL OF THE FACILITY, ALL THE EVENTS, RESERVATIONS, ALL OF THAT.
RIGHT? SO EVEN IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO RENT ONE OF THE PICKLEBALL COURTS, THEY CAN CONTACT CHRIS.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ME, I MEAN, I THINK ESPECIALLY COMING UP HERE AT THE END OF THE YEAR WHEN SARAH'S ACTUALLY GONNA BE, SINCE THE SENIOR CENTER WILL BE AT IN THE YMCA BUILDING AND HER OFFICES ARE GONNA BE THERE.
SO I THINK IT'S JUST, IT'S A COLLABORATIVE YEAH.
THEY, HE HAS MORE OF THE EMPLOYEE CAPACITY YEAH.
TO HELP WITH THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.
[00:15:01]
HELP MANAGE IT.THEY ARE, IF SOMEBODY COMES TO ME AND SAYS, I WANNA DO THIS, I CAN HELP PUSH THAT ALONG AND GET IT.
BECAUSE THE NEXT TIME I WON'T BE SO BAD WITHOUT THROW ON CHRIS THERE, BUT ALL RIGHT THERE.
APPRECIATE THAT
ALRIGHT, THE NEXT ITEM ON THERE.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FOR CHRIS SAY BEFORE WE LEAVE? NO OTHER QUESTION AND WE'LL GO ON INTO ITEM FIVE TWO THAT THE CITY UPDATE.
I'M GONNA BE TALKING TO YOU A LOT IN THE NEW BUSINESS SECTION.
SO I DON'T HAVE MUCH OF AN UPDATE OTHER THAN TO SAY THAT WE ARE WELL UNDERWAY WITH OUR CONCERT SERIES THIS SUMMER AND THE FARMER'S MARKET, THE CONCERTS, WE HAD 40 PEOPLE FOR THE FIRST ONE, WHICH WAS LIGHT, BUT IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN.
SO HONESTLY IMPRESSED THAT PEOPLE SAT THROUGH THE RAIN.
AND THEN WE HAD A LITTLE OVER, UM, OR I'M SORRY, WE HAD ABOUT THREE 50 FOR THE SECOND ONE AND THEN ABOUT TWO 50 FOR THE THIRD ONE.
SO, UM, OUR NEXT ONE IS COMING UP ON THE 27TH.
THAT'S THE VICTORIOUS K BIRDS.
THEY'RE KIND OF A, UM, CLASSIC ROCK COVER BAND.
SO HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS WILL GO OUT AND GIVE THEM A LISTEN AND ENJOY IT.
AND THEN WE HAVE TWO MORE ON THAT ON THE THIRD AND THEN ON THE 24TH OF AUGUST.
UM, THE FARMER'S MARKET'S BEEN GOING EVERY SATURDAY.
WE HAVEN'T HAD A CANCELLATION YET, WHICH IS KIND OF CRAZY NOT TO HAVE A RAIN OUT ON A SATURDAY.
I'M SURE CHRIS IS WELL AWARE OF THAT STATISTIC WITH THE AQUATICS CENTER.
UM, AND WE'VE ALSO BEEN AVERAGING AROUND 300 IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKENDS.
WE HAVE SEEN A SERIOUS DIP BECAUSE OF THE, THE HEAT, UH, TO BE A LITTLE UNDER 300.
SO, UM, STILL GOING PRETTY WELL.
WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR VENDORS, SPECIFICALLY VENDORS, UM, THAT DO PRODUCE MEAT, EGGS, DAIRY, UM, AND WE ARE ALLOWING FREE REGISTRATION FOR THOSE VENDORS THIS YEAR, UM, BECAUSE WE'RE A LITTLE LIGHT IN THOSE AREAS AND WE KNOW THAT IT'S PEOPLE REALLY WANT IT.
SO IF YOU GUYS KNOW ANYONE WHO, UM, HAS A SMALL FARM, WE ALSO ALLOW HOME GARDENERS TO SELL.
THERE IS NO LICENSURE REQUIRED FOR SELLING YOUR FRUITS OR VEGETABLES ON A MARKET.
UM, THERE IS REQUIREMENTS FOR MEAT AND EGGS AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS, BUT WE WOULD ALLOW A HOME GARDENER TO COME SIGN UP AND SELL THEIR SURPLUS.
AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE BECAUSE I'M GONNA TALK TO YOU A LOT IN THE NEW BUSINESS.
ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR SARAH BEFORE WE MOVE ON? ALRIGHT, THEN WE'LL GO TO NEW BUSINESS ITEM SIX THERE AND WE'LL LET SARAH START WITH THE IMPROVEMENT PLAN.
UM, SO THIS YEAR I SUBMITTED A VERY ROBUST CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR INITIAL DISCUSSIONS WITH COUNCIL AND UM, OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
THAT ACTUAL APPROVAL OF THAT WILL TAKE PLACE, UM, LATER IN THE YEAR WHEN WE SEE HOW ALL OF THE MONEY IS KIND OF ENDING UP.
BUT I WANTED TO JUST EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW I WAS ORGANIZING IT.
UM, AND THIS IS KIND OF THE WORKABLE SPREADSHEET OF THE STATIC SPREADSHEET THAT I GAVE TO COUNSEL AND FINANCE.
SO HERE YOU CAN SEE THAT I HAVE IT BROKEN UP INTO FOUR CATEGORIES FOR OUR CAPITAL SPENDING.
ONE WE HAVE OBLIGATED SPENDING ON MAINTENANCE.
SO THIS IS WHERE I WOULD PUT SOMETHING LIKE A VEHICLE LEASE.
IF WE HAD A VEHICLE LEASE, UM, NEEDING TO SWAP OUT SIGNS ANNUALLY DOING SOME ANNUAL WORK.
OUR PORTA-POTTIES, UM, ARE AN ANNUAL RESPONSIBILITY.
NEXT I HAVE, UM, PROJECTS TO BE CONSIDERED ANNUALLY AND THESE WILL MOVE AROUND AND SHIFT A LITTLE BIT DEPENDING ON PRIORITY THOUGH THEY ARE CURRENTLY ASSIGNED A YEAR WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.
UM, AND THESE ARE GONNA BE SOME OF THE MORE PROJECTS THAT I THINK THE BOARD KIND OF TENDS TO FOCUS ON AND A LOT OF THEM WERE DERIVED FROM THAT LIST OF ITEMS THAT I RECEIVED WHEN I STARTED.
UM, AND SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD THEN I HAVE THESE BIG PROJECTS EXCEEDING A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.
THEY MIGHT REQUIRE OUTSIDE FUNDING.
UM, THEY MIGHT HAVE A HISTORIC OR CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE.
UM, SAY WE'RE RESTORING OUR CANAL, UM, DOWN THERE ON THE SOUTHWEST END OF TOWN.
THEY COULD ALSO NEED TO SPEND MULTIPLE YEARS AND KIND OF BE PHASES.
SO THEY'RE KIND OF GROUPED INTO THEIR OWN CATEGORY.
AND THEN FINALLY THE LAST CATEGORY IS, UM, SPECIFICALLY THE CLOUD PARK PROJECT THAT I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON.
AND I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT ONE MORE ON ITEM NUMBER THREE.
BUT IF WE'RE GONNA GO THROUGH THESE ITEMS, UM, AND OUR OBLIGATING MAINTENANCE, UM, JUST, I'M GONNA TALK AT YOU FOR LIKE A LONG TIME SO PLEASE DON'T FALL ASLEEP AND JUST SAY, HEY SARAH, 'CAUSE I'M NOT FACING YOU.
UH, EACH YEAR WE'RE GONNA SPEND MONEY ON FORESTRY MAINTENANCE.
SO THAT'S THE REMOVAL OF DEAD TREES, POSSIBLY ADDING IN BACK NATIVE SPECIES AS WELL.
BUT IF WE HAVE A TREE THAT NEEDS
[00:20:01]
TO COME DOWN, WE NEED TO HAVE MONEY SET ASIDE TO PAY SOMEONE TO TAKE IT DOWN QUICKLY.EVEN IF OUR STAFF CAN'T GET TO IT, WE'RE GONNA BUY SOME BALL FIELD DIRT EVERY YEAR AND TRY AND ADDRESS, UM, FIELDS THAT NEED DIRT.
I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT UM, SHO GATE COULD DEFINITELY USE SOME, WE'RE GONNA BUY A LITTLE BIT OF FIELD DRIVE TOO.
MOST OF OUR USER GROUPS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THEIR OWN FIELD DRIVE, BUT SHOULD WE WANNA HAVE A ONE OFF KICKBALL TOURNAMENT OR AN ADULT SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT OR SOMETHING, WE'RE GONNA NEED IT.
UM, AND WE ALSO WANNA HAVE A LITTLE ON HAND, UM, SO THAT OUR GUYS WOULD BE ABLE TO GET OUT THERE AND DO MAINTENANCE OR WE COULD LOAN IT OUT TO GROUPS TOO.
SAME WITH FIELD PAINT, UM, AND LINING.
WE ACTUALLY SPEND QUITE A BIT OF MONEY ON FIELD PAINT AND LINING FOR SOCCER FIELDS.
UM, THERE MIGHT BE SOME SORT OF OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS, THIS WITH THE SOCCER ORGANIZATION IN THE FUTURE, BUT FOR NOW, THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.
SO WE HAVE TO SET THAT MONEY ASIDE EVERY YEAR.
WE BUY MULCH, SAND AND TOPSOIL TO FILL IN LOW SPOTS AND FLOWER BEDS.
UM, WE ALSO NEED TO DO FLOOR REFINISHING IN OUR INTERIOR SPACES.
WE NEED TO HAVE NOW WITH THE SENIOR CENTER, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE KITCHEN SERVICE, UM, KITCHEN EQUIPMENT.
SERVICED PORTA-POTTIES ARE ANOTHER LARGE EXPENSE IN OUR, UM, WE HAVE THEM IN ALMOST EVERY PARK.
SO THAT IS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY.
UM, WE GET ICE AT THE EEL BERG AMPHITHEATER.
WE ALSO HAVE TO DO PLAY EQUIPMENT REPAIRS IF THEY RUN OFF SLIDE BREAKS.
WE WANNA HAVE THE MONEY SET ASIDE TO BUY A SLIDE AND NOT PUT CAUTION TAPE OVER IT FOR NINE MONTHS.
UM, WE'RE GONNA DO ANNUAL TRIMMING, ANNUAL BEDS AND THEN ADOPT A PARK SIGNS.
I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON GETTING THOSE FOR EACH OF THE PARKS AND WE'LL NEED TO SWAP THEM IN AND OUT AS WE HAVE NEW PEOPLE STARTING.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE? THOSE ONES ARE KIND OF THE LAME ONES.
IS THERE A POST LINE SOMEWHERE? UNPLANNED MAINTENANCE? WE ALSO HAVE AN OPERATIONAL BUDGET EVERY YEAR THAT HAS, UM, JUST A LUMP SUM OF MONEY SET ASIDE FOR MAINTENANCE, BOTH IN BUILDING MAINTENANCE AND UM, LIKE LANDSCAPE EXTERNAL MAINTENANCE.
SO WE WOULD DERIVE IT FROM THERE AND WE, WE ESTIMATE THAT OFF OF WHAT WE SPEND EACH YEAR.
YEAH, AND THESE ARE ALL ESTIMATES BASED OFF, THESE ARE ESTIMATES BASED OFF OF A, A MULTITUDE OF THINGS.
SOME BASED OFF OF SAY I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN QUOTES ON THE PARK SIGNS.
UM, THE ICE IS BASED ON PAST YEAR'S PORTA POTTY, PAST YEAR'S EQUIPMENT NEEDING SERVICED.
I JUST HAVE HAD AN OVEN SERVICED BEFORE AT, UM, A WARMING KITCHEN.
SO I KNOW THAT THAT COST IS ABOUT RIGHT AND KIND OF A MULTITUDE OF AREAS.
YEAH, I'M JUST GONNA DECREASE HIM SO WE CAN SEE BETTER.
SO THEN THIS HERE IS PROBABLY WHAT MOST PEOPLE THINK OF TRADITIONALLY AS THEIR FIVE YEAR PLAN, UM, FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT.
SO STARTING IN THE YEAR 2024 ON HERE, YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON.
WE HAVE COMMUNITY PARK PLAYGROUND UPGRADES.
UM, SO I HAVE PROPOSED THAT WE DO ABOUT AN ADDITIONAL $200,000 WORTH OF UPGRADES TO THE ACCESSIBLE PLAYGROUND AT COMMUNITY PARK.
UM, WE ARE CURRENTLY AWAITING THE, TO BE AWARDED A GRANT FOR A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OF THAT.
I'M VERY HOPEFUL THAT THAT COMES THROUGH AND WE SHOULD KNOW MORE BY THE END OF AUGUST.
UM, IF SO, THEN WE WILL DO, UH, THE BULK OF THAT IS RESURFACING SO THAT WE HAVE ONE UNIFORM SERVICE THROUGHOUT THE PLAYGROUND AND THEN PLAY EQUIPMENT.
THE COMMUNITY PARK'S GAZEBO ROOF IS ACTUALLY ALREADY UNDERWAY AND WE JUST, UM, WE HAVE AWARDED THOSE, UM, QUOTES.
SO THAT WILL BE STARTING IN THE FALL.
THE DIAL PARK GAZEBO HAS BEEN INSTALLED.
INSTALLING NATIVE SPECIES AT DIAL PARK IS ON PAUSE BECAUSE SPECIES DON'T LIKE TO BE PLANTED IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER.
SO WE'LL BE PICKING IT BACK UP IN THE FALL.
THE COTTONWOOD BACKSTOPS HAVE BEEN REMOVED.
THE CLOUD PARK EXERCISE EQUIPMENT HAS ALSO BEEN REMOVED AND WE'RE HOLDING ON EXERCISE EQUIPMENT ELSEWHERE IN THE PARK SYSTEM.
I HAVE, UM, A GRANT THAT I WANT TO SEEK FOR IT.
IT'S ABOUT $50,000 TO PUT IN VERY SIMILAR EXERCISE EQUIPMENT TO WHAT WE PUT OUT, BUT A LITTLE BIT UPGRADED AT CLOUD PARK.
AND SO I'M JUST GONNA APPLY FOR THAT GRANT, SEE IF WE CAN GET IT BEFORE WE SET ASIDE MONEY FOR IT.
AND THEN FLYER FIELD, THE DOG PARK FENCING PROJECT IS COMPLETE.
UM, WE ADDED A KIND OF A FOOT TOE BAR SO THAT DOGS COULD STOP PUSHING UNDERNEATH THE FENCE.
AND WE ALSO ADDED, UM, ALL NEW FENCE NETTING THAT WAS A HIGHER GAUGE SO THAT WHEN DOGS RUN INTO IT AND HIT IT, IT DOESN'T MOVE AS MUCH AND CREATE THOSE GAPS.
WE UNFORTUNATELY HAD A LOT OF DOGS ESCAPING IN THE OLD FENCE
SO IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S A PORTA POTTY SITTING
[00:25:01]
IN SOMEBODY'S FRONT YARD.AND WE LOOK LIKE WE'RE CARING A LITTLE MORE ABOUT AESTHETICS.
AND IT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT WE DO INTERNALLY.
SO IT'LL BE KIND OF A FALL PROJECT.
THE SHO GATE PLAYGROUND IS UNDERWAY, STILL SLATED FOR DELIVERY, UM, AT THE END OF AU IN AUGUST.
UM, SO WE SHOULD SEE A NEW PLAYGROUND OUT THERE THIS FALL.
UM, TWIN CREEKS HAS HAD SOME OF ITS GREEN SPACE LEVELED.
I KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS STILL MORE WORK TO BE DONE OUT THERE, BUT WE DID DO INITIAL, UM, DUMPINGS OF TOP SOIL AND, UM, SPRAYING GRASS SEEDED AND COTTONWOOD SHELTER WAS PAINTED.
SO IN 2025, I HAVE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE TO MONITA.
UM, THIS WOULD BE THE PUMP TRACK THAT IS LOCATED IN THE TOP SECTION THAT IS KIND OF MADE OF A VERY LOOSE GRAVEL, ALMOST LOOKS LIKE KITTY LITTER NOW THAT THE KIDS HAVE BEEN RIDING ON IT.
AND THE ISSUE WITH THAT IS THAT IT'S VERY LOOSE, THE MEDIA.
SO WE COULD SPEND, UM, 15 TO $20,000 ANNUALLY ON MAINTENANCE, REPACKING IT WITH MORE GRAVEL, OR WE COULD GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH PAVING IT LIKE THE OTHER PUMP TRACKS IN THE PARK.
AND SO FOR $110,000 WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT PAVING.
SO I'VE PUT IT IN THE BUDGET FOR CONSIDERATION.
COMMUNITY PARK, UM, IS MY OTHER BIG PROJECT FOR 2025.
UM, SOME SORT OF SOLUTION NEEDS TO HAPPEN WITH THE BASKETBALL COURTS, WHETHER THAT'S A MULTI-SPORT COURT OR MORE BASKETBALL COURTS OR MORE PICKLEBALL COURTS.
ALL OF THAT'S A TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION.
UM, BUT WE NEED TO SET ASIDE SOME MONEY FOR THAT RESURFACING COMMUNITY PARKS FOOTBALL FIELD SOLUTION.
UM, OUR USER GROUP THAT'S DOWN THERE, I, I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW IF THEY'RE USING IT ANYMORE.
I THINK THAT THEY HAVE A LONG-TERM LEASE THAT WAS NEGOTIATED, YOU KNOW, FOR A DOLLAR ONE OF THOSE SERVICE GROUP KIND OF, UM, BANKS.
SO WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH IT AND EITHER GIVE IT A FACELIFT THAT THE COMMUNITY DESERVES OR WE NEED TO BACK IT OUTTA THERE AND PUT IN SOMETHING THAT WILL BE USABLE AND NOT OVERGROWN.
SO, UM, SOME MONEY THERE FOR A SOLUTION.
COMMUNITY PARK DISC GOLF UPGRADES.
IT IS ONE OF OUR BEST SHADED PARKS AND I THINK WE WOULD GET A TON OF USE IF WE WERE TO UPGRADE THAT TO AN 18 HOLE COURSE.
UM, PAVING AND COMMUNITY PARK NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE.
AND THEN ALSO NEXT YEAR WE NEED TO REPLACE COTTONWOODS PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT.
YOU'LL SEE THAT THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE HIGH DOLLAR PLAYGROUNDS.
UM, AND THAT'S BECAUSE I HAVE COTTONWOOD IN MIND TO BE KIND OF OUR NUMBER ONE YOUNG CHILD, UH, TODDLER TOWN.
A FEATURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ELSEWHERE IN THE SYSTEM.
AND I'VE BEEN OUT THERE SEVERAL TIMES.
I GO OUT AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH TO LOOK AT THE PARKS AND THERE'S A LOT OF MOMMY AND ME GROUPS AT THAT PARK THAT HAVE MEETUPS.
THERE'S ALSO, UM, SEVERAL DAYCARES THAT TAKE BUSES TO THAT PARK.
SO THEY MUST BE LOCATED RATHER, RATHER CLOSELY.
AND THEN THERE'S ALSO OF COURSE, OUR OWN PRESCHOOL AND DAYCARE IN THAT CHURCH NEXT DOOR.
SO, UM, A LOT OF YOUNGER CHILDREN USE, WE WILL STILL HAVE FEATURES FOR THAT, YOU KNOW, FIVE TO 12 RANGE.
BUT I THINK REALLY FOCUSING ON LIKE THE EIGHT AND UNDERS IS GONNA BE THE SWEET SPOT FOR THAT PARK.
AND I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY THERE BECAUSE WE DON'T REALLY HAVE THAT ELSEWHERE IN THE SYSTEM.
UM, SHO GATES BASEBALL FIELDS NEED SOME SERIOUS WORK.
UM, IF WE'RE GONNA KEEP USING THOSE AS BASEBALL, WHICH I THOROUGHLY BELIEVE WE WILL, WE DEFINITELY NEED TO ADD DIRT AND DO SOME GRADING.
UM, WORK ON THE GRASS AND THE OUTFIELDS AND IT POSSIBLY LOOK AT A BACKSTOP OR SOME BACKSTOP PATCHWORK.
THERE'S LOTS THAT CAN BE DONE THERE.
UM, HE USES THE FIELDS OUT THERE, THAT'S WHY.
RULES AND DIRECTIONAL SIGNS AT PARKS.
UM, I DON'T, WE'RE GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE TYPES OF AMENITIES WE WOULD WANNA SEE AT PARKS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY RULES POSTED ANYWHERE IN OUR PARKS UNLESS IT'S LIKE A ONE-OFF SIGN THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW, DON'T BE HERE AFTER DARK.
UM, I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME UNIFORM SIGNAGE OUT THERE AND IT ALLOWS US TO KIND OF COVER OUR BACKS OF LIKE, WE DO ACTUALLY HAVE RULES, UH, AND YOU ARE IGNORING THEM.
RIP WRAP, UM, PARKING LOT NEEDS SEAL COATED AND THE ROSE MUSIC CENTER.
UM, I HAVE SOME MONEY SET ASIDE TO LOOK INTO SOME HARDSCAPING SOLUTIONS.
THERE'S SOME REALLY INTERESTING CHOICES THAT WERE MADE OUT THERE WITH LANDSCAPING.
UH, AND IT MAKES IT QUITE EXPENSIVE TO HIRE A LANDSCAPER TO MAINTAIN IT.
SO BY ADDING SOME HARDSCAPING IN, UM, WE CAN POSSIBLY RECOUP SOME OF THAT MONEY BACK AND STILL HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S VERY ATTRACTIVE.
SO THAT IS ON THE TABLE AS WELL.
AND THEN FINALLY, UH, I AM DO PROPOSING TO REDO ONE TENNIS COURT AT CLOUD PARK A YEAR BASICALLY IN PERPETUITY UNTIL THEY'RE ALL HIT.
BECAUSE THEY ALL NEED ATTENTION.
AND YOU'LL SEE THAT 2025 IS, UH, MAYBE A LITTLE FRONT LOADED AND
[00:30:01]
THAT'S BECAUSE I THINK ALL OF THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW.UM, THERE WILL OF COURSE BE DISCUSSIONS LATER ON DOWN THE LINE WITH ONCE TRUE NUMBERS COME IN WITH THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, WITH CITY COUNCIL, WITH YOURSELVES OF WHAT GETS MOVED AND BUMPED IF NEEDED.
I'M HOPEFUL WE CAN DO A LOT OF IT THOUGH, AND I'M HOPEFUL THAT THERE'S SOME GRANT OPPORTUNITIES OUT THERE ALSO.
BUT IN 2026 I'M LOOKING TO ADD RESTROOMS TO COMMUNITY PARK.
I'M LOOKING TO REPLACE THE GARY SHERMAN PLAYGROUND BACK THERE, UM, DOING A BENCH AND TABLE REFRESH.
SO RIGHT NOW, UM, THE PUBLIC WORKS CREW HAS BEEN DILIGENTLY REPAINTING A LOT OF OUR BENCHES AND PICNIC TABLES AND THEY DO LOOK GREAT.
UM, BUT THEY START TO NOT LOOK GREAT PRETTY QUICKLY.
AND SO GOING THROUGH AND CHOOSING, UM, SOME STRATEGIC PLACES WHERE WE CAN START JUST REFRESHING BENCHES AND TABLES AND TURNING 'EM OVER.
UM, SOME OF THE TABLES THAT HAVE MORE OF THE METAL MESH, UH, AND THEN IT'S COATED.
THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE VANDAL PROOF, A LOT LESS CARVING, A LOT LESS, UM, TAGGING.
AND SO, UM, WE MIGHT LOOK AT SOME OF THAT FOR SOME PLACES TOO.
AGAIN, WE'RE GONNA HIT ANOTHER TENNIS COURT AT CLOUD AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING TO INSTALL CAMERAS AT COMMUNITY PARK.
UM, WE, I ALSO HAVE ON HERE, I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A DATE ON IT YET, BUT WE WANNA LOOK INTO EXTENDING THE WIFI, UM, AT OUR COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PARKS.
SO, UM, PROBABLY NOT OUR LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, BUT THE ONES WHERE WE'RE HAVING EVENTS AT, WE DEFINITELY WANNA BE ABLE TO BOLSTER WIFI, UM, SO THAT PEOPLE AREN'T LOSING SIGNAL JUST BECAUSE THERE'S A CROWD AROUND THEM.
UM, OKAY, ANOTHER SIP OF WATER.
I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS THAT COMMENT SIR? ANYTHING ON 25 OR 26 YET? YOU WANT ME TO KEEP GOING? I HAVE A COMMENT.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BRING IT UP UNTIL YOU HAD FINISHED, BUT, UH, OKAY.
ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO WE GOT A LOT OF COMMENTS OR QUESTION I GUESS ABOUT WHY THERE WERE NO OUTDOOR BASKETBALL COURSE NORTH OF OUR SEVENTH AND WE BROUGHT THAT UP HERE AND WE ORIGINALLY GOING TO TRY AND DO THAT SHOW GATE, BUT WE SIGNED IT LATER ON SINCE YOU, UH, THAT WOULD BE BETTER TO HAVE IT DOWN NEAR THE Y.
IN OTHER WORDS, MAKE THAT A SPORTS COMPLEX, BUT I DON'T SEE THAT ON YOUR CHART ANYWHERE.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BASKETBALL COURT WEIGHED ABOUT 20 LINES.
UH, BUT I HEAR YOU AND I DID NOT AGREE WITH YOU WHEN I STARTED THIS JOB, BUT I DO HAPPEN TO AGREE WITH YOU NOW.
SO IT IS ON HERE AND I'LL SHOW YOU IN JUST A FEW MORE LINES.
IN UM, 2027 I HAVE COTTONWOOD BASKETBALL UPGRADES ALONG ALONG WITH UPGRADING THAT LITTLE FENCE THAT'S OUT THERE ALONG THE ROADWAY.
UM, COMMUNITY CENTER EXERCISE EQUIPMENT THAT IS, YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE EVEN NOTICED IT, BUT DOWN ON POWELL ROAD, THE COMMUNITY CENTER DOES HAVE THIS OUTDOOR FITNESS.
UM, IT KIND OF, IF YOU LOOKED AT IT QUICKLY, YOU MIGHT THINK IT'S MORE OF A PLAYGROUND BUT IT IS A LITTLE FITNESS SET.
AND SO LOOKING TO REPLACE THAT WITH SOMETHING, WHETHER IT'S MORE FITNESS OR SOMETHING FOR CHILDREN, WE'LL NEED TO DO AN ASSESSMENT ON HOW THAT AREA'S BEING USED.
PAVING WALKING PATHS IS IN 2027 AND UM, I KNOW THAT THAT'S A VERY HIGH PRIORITY.
IT'S BEEN ON THE PARKS AND REC BOARD LIST, IT'S BEEN ON COUNCIL'S LIST.
I'VE ALIGNED IT IN 27 BECAUSE THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT HAS THEM BUYING A SMALL PAVER IN 27.
AND SO IF WE'RE ABLE TO SET ASIDE MONEY FOR LIKE THE ASPHALT WORK OR TO HELP PAY FOR SOME OF THE SUPPLIES FOR THAT, THEN THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH A LOT OF THAT WORK IN-HOUSE.
UM, ALSO LOOKING TO ADD A PA AND WEATHER SYSTEM AT CLOUD PARK.
UM, SO THAT WE'RE ABLE TO GET LIVE ACTION, LIGHTNING STRIKE UPGRADES AND ALL OF THAT FOR EVERYONE WHO'S OUTSIDE.
UM, THEN WE'RE DOING ANOTHER TENNIS COURT AT CLOUD.
UM, SOMETHING THAT I HAVE FORECASTED IN HERE THAT I'D LIKE TO DO, BUT I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY SOME SORT OF FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY IS TO INSTALL PUBLIC ART PIECE AT UM, THE DOG PARK.
I THINK THAT THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST DO A LITTLE SOMETHING OUT THERE AND IT NOT JUST BE A GATED FIELD.
AND SO, UM, I REALLY LOVE THE IDEA OF THE WRIGHT BROTHERS DOG THAT'S NAMED AFTER.
I KNOW WE'VE ALSO HAD A NUMBER OF DEDICATED, UM, SERVICE DOGS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SO THERE COULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY THERE TO TRY AND GET SOME SORT OF ART PIECE GOING.
THEN IN 2028, UM, WE'RE GONNA RAISE THE BELL PLAINE LOW SPOTS.
WE'RE GONNA DO RIP WRAP SHELTER UPGRADES.
WE'RE GONNA REPLACE THE UM, BROWN PLAYGROUND IN CLOUD PARKS.
THAT'S THE ONE IF YOU GO STRAIGHT ALL THE WAY BACK AND THEN WE'RE GONNA DO ANOTHER TENNIS COURT, OF COURSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO A SHELTER ROOF OUT AT CLOUD PARK AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO SOME BASKETBALL COURT RESURFACING BY THAT TIME.
IT'S IN THE OKAY CONDITION NOW, BUT IT, IT IS GONNA CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE.
UM, I HAVE ON HERE SOMETHING IN 29 IS TO START LOOKING AT MIAMI VILLA, THE HALF BASKETBALL COURT.
UM, I DON'T TEND TO LIKE HALF BASKETBALL COURTS
[00:35:01]
FROM A PARK DESIGN STANDPOINT.I THINK WHAT THEY DO IS THEY PROHIBIT A FULL GAME OF BASKETBALL AND I THINK THAT THAT CAN BE DISCRIMINATORY IN PARKS.
SO IF WE'RE GONNA HA KEEP IT THERE, UM, CAN WE LOOK AT TRYING TO TURN IT SIDEWAYS SO WE CAN KEEP A FULL BASKETBALL COURT SO THAT PEOPLE IN THAT COMMUNITY CAN ENJOY A FULL GAME OF BASKETBALL, UM, OR TURN IT INTO SOMETHING ELSE THAT MIGHT GET USED.
UM, I HAVE JUST HOLDS ON HERE NOW FOR A PLAY STRUCTURE NEEDING DONE AND BATHROOMS, NEEDING FACELIFTS, ANY FUTURE AMENITIES.
UM, AND THEN REPLACING THE PARKS AND RECREATION TRUCK PROBABLY WITH LIKE A FORD TRANSIT SO THAT IT'S ENCLOSED SO WE CAN PUT PROGRAM ITEMS IN THERE AND WHEN IT'S RAINING AND STUFF THE FORD TRANSITS ARE KIND OF LIKE THE AMAZON TRUCKS.
UM, OKAY, HERE IS WHERE ALEX IS.
UM, SO THIS YEAR I HAVE SENIOR CENTER RENOVATIONS ONGOING AND THAT IS UM, FUNDED.
WE ALSO HAVE UM, NEXT, OR I'M SORRY, IN 26 THERE IS A NEW COMMUNITY BEING DEVELOPED UM, OFF OF CHAMBERSBURG ROAD THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GIFT US A LITTLE BIT OF SPACE FOR A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD PARK FOR THAT AREA.
UM, SO THERE'S SOME MONEY THERE BEING HELD BUT I KNOW THAT THAT DEVELOPER HAS CHANGED HANDS A NUMBER OF TIMES SO IT'S UNCERTAIN IF WE'LL ACTUALLY BE DOING THAT FOR THEM OR NOT.
IN 27 THE RECPLEX AMENITIES ADDED.
UM, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE EEL BERGER AREA OUT THERE UTILIZED AS AN ATHLETICS AND FITNESS AND WELLNESS KIND OF RECREATION PLEX.
I THINK BEING SO CLOSE TO THE Y AND NOW WITH THE SENIORS THERE AS WELL AS THE AQUATIC CENTER ALREADY BEING THERE AND IT HAS THAT ONE MILE WALKING LOOP, I THINK THAT STRATEGICALLY REDOING SOME OF THAT PARK TO ADD IN BASKETBALL OR PICKLEBALL OR TENNIS OR BOCCE BALL OR UM, YOU KNOW, DIS SKY'S THE LIMIT.
AND IT'S RELATIVELY VAGUE THERE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'LL WANT.
UM, WE'LL HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE YMCA AND THE LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT THEY WANT IN THOSE SORTS OF AMENITIES.
UM, BUT THERE'S A REAL OPPORTUNITY I THINK TO KIND OF MAKE THAT A HUB FOR UM, THE NORTHERN SIDE BEING ABLE TO HIT THEIR FITNESS AND RECREATION GOALS.
SO THAT'S WHERE THAT MONEY WOULD BE.
UM, AND THEN SOME OTHER THINGS THAT ARE JUST FORECASTED ON HERE, BUT WE'RE KIND OF JUST WAITING TO MOVE ON UNTIL MORE INFORMATION IS KNOWN OR MAYBE MORE FUNDING IS KNOWN.
BUT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT THE BIKE PATH AT THE NORTHERN SECTION THROUGH CARRIAGE TRAILS.
UM, SO IF YOU GUYS HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH CARRIAGE TRAILS AND ALL OF THOSE ROUNDABOUTS, YOU KNOW THERE'S ALREADY BIKE PATH THERE OR MULTIPURPOSE PATH, UM, THE GOAL WOULD BE TO ABLE TO ACTUALLY CONNECT THE TWO METRO PARKS UP THERE.
SO YOU COULD GO FROM TAYLORSVILLE METRO PARK TO UM, CARRIAGE HILL.
I'M LIKE NO, YOU LIVE NORTH OF DAYTON NOW.
UM, SO THAT IS FORECASTED AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD WANNA BE ABLE TO HELP WITH EVEN IT'S JUST SIGNING OUR NAME ONTO SOME SORT OF GRANT OR SOMETHING SHOWING COOPERATION.
BUT UM, WE DEFINITELY WANNA CONNECT THOSE PARKS IF WE CAN THROUGH OUR TOWN.
UM, CANAL LOCK IS GOING TO NEED SOME AESTHETIC WORK.
THERE'S BEEN SOME RECOMMENDATIONS TO ADD SOME KIND OF LIKE HISTORICAL LIGHTING THROUGH THERE, WHICH I THINK COULD BE VERY COOL.
YOU KNOW, THE FAUX GAS BURNING LAMPS.
UH, SO THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE, THAT COULD ALL BE VERY COOL.
UM, SO IT'S FORECASTED AND I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT PROBABLY HAS A LOT OF POTENTIAL FOR PARTNERSHIP AND UM, GRANTS THEN UM, THE BIKE PATH ON WEST CHAMBERSBURG, THAT IS ACTUALLY, UM, WE HAVE THE BALL MOVING ON THAT A LITTLE BIT.
OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT IS OVERSEEING UM, ROAD WORK ON CHAMBERSBURG.
SO THAT WOULD BE HEADING WEST DOWN INTO DAYTON.
UM, AND THEN THE GOAL IS THAT WE WILL ACTUALLY TAKE THE BIKE PATH THROUGH THAT AREA.
UM, WE'VE HAD SOME PRELIMINARY TALKS WITH THE WARRIOR SOCCER GROUP ABOUT TAKING IT THROUGH THEIR PROPERTY.
UM, AND WE'D LIKE TO PLOP IT DOWN THERE RIGHT ALONG THE RIVER AND PUT YOU ON THE BIKE PATH SO THAT YOU COULD RIDE FROM BRANT PIKE OR UM, OLD TROY PIKE AND BE ON A MULTI-PURPOSE PATH THE ENTIRE TIME ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BIKE PATH IN THE COMMUNITY.
UM, THESE ARE LIKE PIPE DREAMS
UM, POSSIBLY FINDING LIKE A HISTORICAL GROUP TO ADOPT IT AND DO A LITTLE UPKEEP.
UM, IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT 'CAUSE THERE'S SOME DIFFERENT LAWS SURROUNDING CEMETERIES, BUT I
[00:40:01]
THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO, WHETHER IT'S ADDING FENCING OR SOMETHING JUST TO MAKE IT LOOK A LITTLE MORE PURPOSEFUL IN THAT PARK.'CAUSE THERE ARE JUST RANDOM GRAVES IN
UM, AND THEN FINALLY ANOTHER IDEA WOULD BE TO ADD A SAFETY TOWN AT GARY SHERMAN, WHICH I THINK WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT.
UH, I MENTIONED TO SOMEBODY ON OUR TOUR THAT I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE COOL BECAUSE IT IS SO CLOSE TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THERE.
SO, UM, THAT'S FORECASTED PRETTY FAR OUT SO THAT I CAN GET THE BUY-IN OF THE POLICE OR WE CAN REROUTE AND THINK OF SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FOR GARY SHERMAN.
BUT I DO THINK THAT THAT PARK, UH, HAS A LOT OF UNUSED UNTAPPED SPACE ON THE ONE SIDE OF IT AND IF WE COULD DO SOMETHING WITH IT, UM, OR EVEN FIND A USER GROUP MAYBE THAT JUST WANTS TO HAVE SOME SOCCER PRACTICES THERE OR SOMETHING THAT COULD ALSO BE GOOD, UM, JUST USE IT AND GET PEOPLE IN THE PARKS.
MY THEORY IS THE MORE PEOPLE IN THE PARKS THE BETTER.
EVEN IF IT ADDS A LITTLE BIT TO YOUR WEAR AND TEAR, UH, YOU LOSE A LOT ON THE VANDALISM AND IT DOES A TON FOR THE COMMUNITY.
SO THAT WOULD BE MY CIP PLAN OTHER THAN THE CLOUD PARK, UM, PLAN, WHICH I CAN EITHER SKIP TO NUMBER THREE NOW ALEX, IF YOU WANT OR I CAN ACTUALLY DO NUMBER TWO.
DO NUMBER TWO, THE NEIGHBORHOOD NUMBER, CORRECT? MM-HMM
ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I DO THAT? I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT
UM, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THERE'S ALWAYS OPPORTUNITY.
THE WAY THAT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT IS DONE IS THAT WE KIND OF LOCK IN THE NEXT YEAR.
UM, AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE AFTER THAT IS KIND OF A FORECAST.
SO IT'S VERY COMMON FOR THINGS TO MOVE AROUND AND SWITCH WITHIN THAT FOUR YEAR SPAN, UM, FOLLOWING.
SO COUNCIL FROM THE FULL FIVE YEAR NEXT YEAR.
SO THEY, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SURE THE EXACT TERMINOLOGY.
THEY DO SEE THE FULL FIVE YEAR PLAN AND THEY KIND OF GO, YOU KNOW, YES THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD FIVE YEAR PLAN, BUT I THINK LEGISLATIVELY THE ONLY THING THAT'S REALLY LOCKED IN ARE THE NUMBERS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR.
ONE OTHER QUICK QUESTION, UH, I NOTICED YOU HAVE ON THERE MAINTENANCE UPDATE FOR THE, UH, TENNIS COURTS.
NOW THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TENNIS COURTS IS PICKLEBALL COURTS IS THE SIZE.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO INCLUDE IN THERE SOMEWHERE IN MAINTENANCE ON THOSE COURTS AND NOT FIVE YEAR PERIOD.
THAT'S A GOOD THANK YOU FOR THAT.
POINTING OUT THAT OVERSIGHT, I IMAGINE, UM, THOSE WILL NEED HIT EVERY FIVE YEARS OR SO, DO YOU THINK? FOUR OR FIVE? WELL, NO MORE THAN FIVE YEARS FOR SURE.
I THINK THREE WOULD'VE BEEN A GOOD NUMBER, BUT FIVE FOR SURE.
BECAUSE THEY BEGAN TO GET CRACKS THEN AND EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU KNOW, IT DONE GRASS COMING AND AS YOU KNOW, SO, UH, BUT I SAY NO MORE THAN FIVE YEARS.
AND THE OTHER QUESTION IS ON YOUR DETAILED PLANS FOR THE MOTHER PLEX OF THE REX PLEX FOR THE WIRES, UM, IS THAT DEVELOPED UNILATERAL BY YOU AND YOU PRESENTED? OR DO WE SOMEHOW HAVE AN INPUT INTO THAT AS WE START DEVELOPING THAT PLAN? UM, FOR THAT SPECIFIC PROJECT, IT WOULD BE MY INTENTION THAT THE BOARD AND ME AND THE Y AND THE SENIOR CENTER OKAY.
THAT WE HAVE SOME SORT OF COLLABORATIVE, UM, WHETHER THAT'S, YOU KNOW, NAMING A COUPLE PEOPLE TO, TO SIT ON LIKE A SIDE BOARD.
I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE DONE THAT WITH THE DOG PARK YEARS AGO.
UM, AND KIND OF COME UP WITH IDEAS OF HOW WE WOULD WANNA SEE THAT AND HOW WE WOULD WANNA SEE IT LAID OUT AND, AND UM, THAT SORT OF THING.
DANNY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE BULLET? GO AHEAD.
OUTCOMES AND GOALS TO THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.
SO, UM, SOME OF THESE ITEMS ARE SIMPLY THAT THE, YOU KNOW, THE TENNIS COURTS ARE, ARE TOO TIRED AT CLOUD PARK AND IF WE'RE GONNA KEEP THEM AS AN AMENITY, WHICH THEY DO RECEIVE AMPLE USE, INCLUDING AN, AN ORGANIZED USE FROM CARROLL HIGH SCHOOL.
UM, IF WE'RE GONNA KEEP THOSE, THEN WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN THEM.
UH, IT'S JUST PART OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
SOME OF THE THINGS ARE RELATED TO LONGER TERM GOALS, SUCH AS, UM, THE PROJECT ALEX WAS TALKING ABOUT, THE FACT THAT THE SENIOR CENTER IS MOVING THERE AND THEN THERE'S NO REAL, UM, OUTDOOR KIND OF FITNESS AND ATHLETIC FACILITY FOR THE NORTHERN PART OF TOWN.
THAT KIND OF GETS BACK TO GOALS AND THINGS THAT THE BOARD HAS IN MIND.
I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY OPPORTUNITY TO ADD SOME
[00:45:01]
NARRATIVE TO THESE SO I CAN DO THAT.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? GOOD POINT.
IS THERE A PLAN TO ADD BIKE RACKS TO YOUR PARKS? NO, YOU DID MENTION THAT.
OKAY, WE'RE GONNA, I'M GONNA KEEP MAKING YOU GUYS TALK AND ENGAGE ANYWAY, SO, UM, THE NEXT ACTIVITY SHOULD HELP WITH THAT.
TWO AND THEN YOU MIGHT COME UP WITH MORE THINGS THAT WERE MENTIONED.
SO WE ARE GONNA DO, UM, HAS ANYBODY EVER DONE A MENTEE METER BEFORE? DO YOU ALL HAVE YOUR PHONES? I DON'T SEE IT.
WELL YOU CAN UM, PIGGYBACK ON JUSTICES BUT YOU, WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO, LET ME SEE HERE.
I GOTTA FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU GUYS GO.
SO YOU'RE GONNA GO TO MINTY.COM MENT I.COM ON YOUR PHONE.
YOU DON'T WRITE DOWN MY PIECE OF PAPER.
AND THEN IT'S GONNA ASK YOU FOR A CODE.
SO LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU'RE ALL THERE AND YOU HAVE A CODE.
HOW DID I GET THAT? 5, 2, 9 1.
SO NOW YOU GUYS SHOULD SEE THIS QUESTION.
WHO USES NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS? DID YOU GET IN DENNIS? YEP.
SO THIS ONE, ALL YOU DO IS TYPE IN RESPONSES, UM, AND THAT YOUR RESPONSES ARE UNLIMITED AND ONCE YOU SUBMIT THEM YOU SHOULD START TO SEE THEM POPULATE ON HERE.
SO YOU CAN SAY KIDS, CHILDREN, DOGS, BIRDS.
I'M NOT GONNA GIVE YOU ANY MORE IDEAS.
SO THIS ONE'S GONNA BUILD A WORD CLOUD.
AND YOU CAN KEEP GOING UNLIMITED.
KEEP SAYING 'EM BECAUSE THE MORE COMMON RESPONSES WE GET, THE BIGGER THE WORD'S GONNA GET.
ARE YOU PARTICIPATING TOO, CHRIS? MM-HMM?
OH YOU CAN, OH YOU WANT ME TO? YEAH.
YOU WERE ON THE TOUR ALSO PART OF IT.
OKAY, WE'LL WAIT ON CHRIS'S RESPONSE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, AND FOURTH IS.
IS THAT THE, IS THAT THE WORDS THAT WERE IN THE THING AND SOMEBODY ACCIDENTALLY HIT ENTER? NO, I PUT THEM IN.
CAN YOU, YOU PLUGGED THEM IN? I JUST WENT FIRST, SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH.
I THOUGHT YOU PUT ANY WORD IN THERE YOU WANT.
OH, BUT YOU WAS SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.
WHO USES NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS? UH, WELL, FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH GRADE.
ALRIGHT, WE HAVE FIVE RESPONSES NOW.
DID YOU GET ONE IN THERE? ARE YOU STILL TYPING? I'M, I'M GOOD MAN.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A LOT OF FAMILIES, NEIGHBORS AND KIDS USING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
ALL RIGHT, ON THIS SLIDE YOU'RE GONNA VOTE.
HOW LONG DO USERS STAY AT NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS? I SHOULD BE GETTING FIVE RESPONSES.
[00:50:09]
ONE MORE VOTE OUT THERE.IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE PRETTY MUCH DECIDED THAT THEY DO NOT SPEND MORE THAN TWO HOURS THERE TYPICALLY.
HOW FAR DO PEOPLE TRAVEL FOR NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS? DO THEY TRAVEL UP TO A MILE? UP TO TWO MILES? DO THEY TRAVEL MORE THAN TWO MILES FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS? ALL RIGHT.
LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE STAYING P FAIRLY CLOSE.
HOW DO PEOPLE GET TO NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS? PEOPLE ARE WORKING AHEAD AREN'T YOU? THERE'S ALREADY LIKE TWO RESPONSES ON ALL OF THE ONES I CLICKED TO.
SORRY, I WAS JUST FOLLOWING THROUGH ALL OF IT.
IS THIS THE ONE YOU'RE ORDERING 'EM? YEAH.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE THINK PEOPLE WALK, THEN DRIVE, THEN BIKE, THEN TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
NOW WHO USES OUR COMMUNITY PARKS? THESE WOULD BE THOSE SLIGHTLY LARGER PARKS.
EVERYBODY IN THAT WANTS TO BE IN.
AND HOW LONG DO OUR USERS STAY AT OUR COMMUNITY PARKS? LESS THAN AN HOUR.
LOOKS LIKE WE THINK THEY'RE PROBABLY STAYING UNDER TWO HOURS BUT PROBABLY MORE THAN AN HOUR.
AND HOW DO PEOPLE GET TO OUR COMMUNITY? PARKS? WALK, DRIVE, BIKE.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE THINK THEY DRIVE AND MAYBE WALK BIKE.
PUBLIC TRANSIT LOOKS LIKE THE WALK AND DRIVE.
FLIP FLOPPED FROM NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
AND HOW FAR DO WE THINK PEOPLE WILL TRAVEL FOR A COMMUNITY PARK? ALRIGHT, IT'S LOOKING LIKE PEOPLE WILL TRAVEL AT LEAST A COUPLE MILES.
OKAY, THIS ONE'S A TRICKY ONE.
WHAT YOU DO IS YOU TAKE THE NAME OF THE PARK AND YOU'RE GONNA SLIDE IT TOWARD WHAT YOU THINK.
SO THIS INDIVIDUAL THAT ALREADY ANSWERED, THANK YOU.
'CAUSE YOU'RE LETTING IT BE A GOOD EXAMPLE.
[00:55:01]
A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK THAN IT IS A COMMUNITY PARK.SO DOWN HERE IS LIKE YOUR SCALE.
LIKE WE WERE ON A, OH GOSH, I'M NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL ANYMORE.
X AXIS DOWN HERE IS THAT X AND THIS IS THE Y.
OKAY, SO IT'S EITHER COMMUNITY PARK, WHICH ARE THOSE BIGGER PARKS.
PEOPLE DRIVE MORE, THEY TRAVEL FARTHER FOR THEY STAY LONGER ALL ACCORDING TO WHAT YOU GUYS JUST SAID OR THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS THAT THEY DON'T TRAVEL AS FAR, THEY TEND TO WALKING OVER DRIVING AND THEY DON'T STAY AS LONG.
SO I DID IT THIS WAY SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE BRIAN DADDY WAS SO UNSURE IF GARY SHERMAN WAS A NEIGHBORHOOD OR A COMMUNITY PARK.
SO THIS WOULD ALLOW HIM TO WEIGHT IT ON THE SCALE.
UH, IS WHICH ONE IS IT? IS IT CLOSER TO A COMMUNITY OR CLOSER TO A NEIGHBORHOOD? WELL I WOULD SAY THAT GARY SHERMAN POTENTIAL BE BIGGER COMMUNITY.
I THINK THERE'S LOTS OF TENSION.
WELL IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE PRETTY SURE MIAMI V IS A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK.
WE'RE PRETTY SURE BELL PLAIN'S A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK.
GARY SHERMAN, COTTON WILLIAM AND TWIN CREEKS.
WERE KIND OF GOING EITHER WAY.
SAME WITH SHO GATE AND WE'RE PRETTY SURE COMMUNITY PARK IS A COMMUNITY PARK A NAMED.
YOU'RE GONNA PUT, OH, THE NEXT SLIDE MIGHT HAVE A WEIRD ERROR ON IT.
I THINK I WENT BACK AND DIDN'T FIX IT.
UM, BUT BATHROOMS ARE NECESSARY AT COMMUNITY PARKS VERSUS BATHROOM ARE NECESSARY AT NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
SO THESE ARE RANKED ON A SCALE OF ONE TO 10, ZERO TO 10 OR SOMETHING.
OR I THINK YOU CHOOSE ONE OVER THE OTHER.
IS IT THAT YOU'RE CHOOSING ONE OVER THE OTHER? I YOU HAVE SO MANY POINTS TO GET OUT.
SO WE HAVE TO ASSIGN, OKAY, SO YOU, YOU CAN TAKE YOUR POINTS AND SAY PERCENTAGE WHAT YOU FEEL I OKAY VERSUS VERSUS THERE SHOULD BE RIGHT? LIKE ONE OF THOSE WEIRD PERSONALITY TESTS WHERE YOU HAVE TO AGREE WITH TWO STATEMENTS THAT DON'T ACTUALLY CONTRADICT EACH OTHER.
WHICH ONE DO YOU AGREE WITH MORE? ALL RIGHT.
UM, THE LAST COUPLE PEOPLE DIDN'T CHANGE.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT 70% WITH BATHROOMS AT COMMUNITY AND 30 WITH BATHROOMS BEING NECESSARY AT NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
OKAY, HERE'S ITEM FOUR, IGNORE ITEM FOUR.
WHICH ONE DO YOU AGREE WITH MORE? OR YOU COULD PUT 50 50 ON BOTH OF 'EM.
[01:00:09]
OKAY.IT LOOKS LIKE WE FEEL THAT LARGE PLAY STRUCTURES AT COMMUNITY PARKS ARE SLIGHTLY MORE NEEDED THAN AT NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
YOU GET TO TAKE THESE ITEMS AND YOU GET TO PLOT THEM ON THE X AND Y AXIS.
SO IF YOU THINK LARGE PLAY STRUCTURES EQUALLY SHOULD BE AT BOTH COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, YOU WOULD BE PUTTING THE NUMBER ONE RIGHT UP HERE IN THE CORNER.
HONOR, IF YOU THINK THAT LARGE PLAY STRUCTURES ARE NOT NEEDED AT ANY PLACE, YOU WOULD BE PUTTING IT RIGHT DOWN HERE WHERE THE ZERO WOULD BE ON OUR GRAPH.
SO YOU'RE GONNA PLOT ALL OF THESE POINTS.
SORRY MAN, I DON'T SEE THAT ANYMORE.
THIS SLIDER ONE TO FIVE COMMUNITY OR NEIGHBORHOOD PARK.
AND THEN IT MUST PLOT THEM FOR YOU.
SO IT'S SIMILAR TO THE LAST ONE.
ONE TO FIVE, IT'S GONNA PLOT THEM.
OKAY, BUT CAN YOU MAKE 'EM BOTH LIKE FIVE AND FIVE? YES.
OKAY, THEN THAT'S WHAT WILL GET YOU IN THE TOP CORNER.
DOES THE SCALE GO TO 10? NO, IT GOES TO FIVE.
OKAY, WELL WE'LL TALK THROUGH EACH ONE OF THESE IN CASE IT WAS WONKY AND WE WANNA MOVE THE DOT TOGETHER.
OOH, SOMEBODY'S SHIFTING THEM BIG TIME WITH THEIR ANSWER.
OKAY, SO I BELIEVE IF I HOVER OVER THESE NUMBER ONE, THAT IS WHERE YOU ALL PLOTTED IT.
SO THAT'S WHERE IT AVERAGED AND ENDED UP.
SO WE FEEL THAT LARGE PLAY STRUCTURES BELONG ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE AT COMMUNITY PARKS THAN NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, BUT TWO PEOPLE WOULD REALLY DISAGREE WITH THAT 'CAUSE TWO PEOPLE THINK THEY REALLY BELONG AT NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
DO YOU GUYS WANNA DISCUSS THAT AT ALL? I KNOW THE WORD LARGE IS A LITTLE BIT SUBJECTIVE, BUT UM, IF YOU'RE THINKING, HEY WE'RE BUYING PLAY STRUCTURES, WHERE'S THE BIGGER, MORE ROBUST ONE GO, HOW LONG WOULD YOU LIKE CONSIDER THE PLAYGROUND?
THEN I WOULD CONSIDER THE PLAYGROUND AT BELL PLAINE SMALL OR TWIN CREEKS SMALL AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S AT NOW.
BASICALLY SMALL PARK HAD A SMALL PLACE DIRECTOR, LARGER ONE THAT I THINK, YEAH, I WOULD SAY.
SO THAT CHANGE, THAT KIND OF HELPS CLARIFY THAT A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I THINK TRAFFIC MUCH, NO.
BECAUSE I KNOW FOR ME, LIKE MY, MY KIDS' GONNA BE ON BIGGER PLAYGROUND SO I FEEL LIKE, I FEEL LIKE BE SOMETHING, NOT SOMETHING SMALL BECAUSE SMALL THREE ONLY KIDS THERE.
[01:05:01]
AND SMALLER CHILDREN ARE GOING TO BE THE ONE USING THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.UM, THE OLDER CHILDREN WHO WILL USE THE LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT PROBABLY RIDING THEIR BIKE, THEY CAN GO A LITTLE FARTHER AWAY.
THAT'S WHY I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE SMALLER NEIGHBORHOOD PARK, IN MY OPINION WOULD NEED OR COULD USE TO SAY THE UH, SMALLER EQUIPMENT AND BE SATISFIED WITH THAT.
YEAH, THAT WAS MY OPINION WHEN I LOOKED AT THAT.
I MEAN I DON'T THINK IT HAS TO BE LARGE LIKE WHAT INSPECTOR SOMETHING MORE IN BETWEEN WITH MULTIPLE FEATURES.
JUST SOMETHING KIND OF IN BETWEEN IS WHAT I SEEN FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARTS.
JUST I'D SAY Q GONNA HAVE MORE.
SO WHEN I SAY INCLUSIVE, I MEAN SOME PLAY FEATURES THAT LOTS OF DIFFERENT CHILDREN OF DIFFERENT ABILITIES CAN PLAY ON.
SO THESE MIGHT BE YOUR SENSORY WALLS, UM, OR SWING SETS WITH THE ADAPTIVE SWINGS OR UM, RAMP ENTRANCES ONTO YOUR PLAY STRUCTURES.
JUST SOME SMALL INCLUSIVE FEATURES.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GUYS PUT THAT ALMOST RIGHT WHERE YOU PUT LARGE PLAY STRUCTURES THAT THEY'RE PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT MORE IMPORTANT AT COMMUNITY PARKS, BUT STILL VERY IMPORTANT AT NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
DOES THAT FEEL RIGHT? AND THEN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT AND ADAPTIVE PLAY FEATURES, UH, WHICH I THINK YOU GUYS UNDERSTOOD THAT BASED ON YOUR ANSWERS.
'CAUSE I WOULD BE INCLINED TO AGREE THAT THE LARGER ADAPTIVE, MEANING THEY'RE MEETING THE PEOPLE WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF NEED, UM, ARE PROBABLY OKAY AT COMMUNITY PARKS OVER NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, UM, BY A BIT.
UM, ANY DISAGREEMENTS THERE? YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT IT? OKAY.
I THINK IT MAKES HORIZON VARIABILITY.
UNIQUE AND LESS ORDINARY FEATURES.
ARE THEY BETTER TO HAVE AT COMMUNITY PARKS OR TO HAVE AT NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS? AND THEN MAYBE THIS PERSON RIGHT HERE SAID THEY'RE NOT SUPER IMPORTANT AT ALL.
UM, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY UNIQUE? LIKE, I WOULD SAY FEATURES THAT WE ONLY HAVE ONE IN OUR PARK SYSTEM.
SO LIKE THE DISC GOLF COURSE OR IF WE WERE TO INSTALL A CLIMBING WALL.
SO IF, IF THAT WOULD, IT'S WHAT I WOULD MEAN BY UNIQUE AND THEN LESS ORDINARY MIGHT EVEN MEAN THAT THEY'RE, UM, EVEN UNIQUE TO LIKE THE REGION.
I'M INCLINED TO THINK THAT THOSE WOULD BE BETTER AT COMMUNITY PARKS BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL TRAVEL FOR THEM.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE THINK THEY BELONG EVERYWHERE.
ANY DISAGREEMENTS? SAME WITH BENCHES, SAME WITH MULTIPLE TRASH CANS.
LARGE NOMENCLATURE SIGNS LOOK LIKE, WE THINK THEY NEED TO BE ABOUT EVERYWHERE.
SO THE NAME OF THE PARK, WE WANT THAT TO BE ON ALL OF OUR PARKS.
UM, ORGANIZED RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE THINK THEY SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE ORGANIZED.
RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING AT COMMUNITY PARKS OVER NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
DOES THAT FEEL ACCURATE? SO THAT WOULD BE US OR THE Y ACTUALLY GOING OUT AND DOING SOMETHING.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE WANTED THEM PRETTY MUCH EVERYWHERE.
UM, THAT'S A LITTLE HIGHER IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS THAN I WOULD PUT IT AT.
ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT? UH, IF THERE'S FIREWORKS GOING OFF AT SHELL GATE ALL THE TIME.
[01:10:01]
THIS IS JUST AN EXERCISE TO GET US THINKING ABOUT THESE TYPES OF THINGS.THIS PARK IS A, OH, YOU'RE ASKING? I AM.
BECAUSE YOUR BRAIN GOT MORE ELASTIC OVER THE LAST 10 MINUTES.
REALLY? WHEN THERE'S ONLY TWO PEOPLE, IT REALLY CHANGES THE AVERAGES.
THIS CHANGED FROM OUR FIRST TIME AROUND.
UM, I AM INCLINED TO AGREE WITH THIS VERSION THAT WE'RE A LITTLE BIT TORN ON SHO GATE COTTONWOOD AND GARY SHERMAN STILL.
I THINK THAT'S, UM, SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS IN OUR COMING MEETINGS AND THINK ABOUT THOSE PARKS SPECIFICALLY.
NOW THIS IS JUST AN AREA FOR YOU TO TYPE IN ANY COMMENTS FROM OUR TOUR OR ITEMS THAT YOU REALLY DON'T WANT CHRIS AND SARAH TO FORGET? I BELIEVE THIS ALLOWS YOU TO TYPE IN WHOLE PARAGRAPHS IF YOU WANT TO.
SO IF YOU'RE LIKE, UM, MAKE SURE 200 CHARACTERS.
SO ABBREVIATE, UM, NEXT, WHATEVER I WAS THERE.
SO ALSO ANY DISCUSSION THAT YOU GUYS WANT TO HAVE, LIKE, LIKE MILE MARKERS FOR THE WALKTHROUGH YOU HAVE.
IT'S LIKELY THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO FUND THOSE OUT OF, UH, THE GENERAL OPERATIONAL BUDGET.
'CAUSE THEY AREN'T SUPER HIGH DOLLAR MM-HMM.
UM, SO I PROBABLY, I TRY NOT TO PUT THINGS INTO THE CIP PLAN THAT AREN'T, UM, EITHER REPEATING YEAR AFTER YEAR OR OVER 5,000.
BUT YES, TYPE IN MILE MARKERS.
I WROTE IT ON MY PAPER TOO, THOUGH.
I HAVE BIKE RACKS WRITTEN DOWN.
ANYBODY CARE TO DISCUSS ANY OF THOSE? WELL, EXCUSE ME.
THE COMMENT THERE THAT WE NEED TO GET MORE USE OUT OF OUR PARK.
DOES THAT MEAN WE NEED TO, WE NEED TO SCHEDULE ACTIVITIES OR HOW DO WE DRIVE MORE PEOPLE TO, UH, TO GET MORE USE OUT THERE? YEAH.
WHEN WE WERE GOING AROUND THE PARKS, YOU'D NOTICE THE ABSENCE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, ANYBODY PLAYING ON IT, RIGHT? YEAH.
SO A LOT OF THE NEIGHBORING PARK DISTRICTS DO A LOT MORE FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENTS.
UM, THEY SEPARATED INTO TODDLERS OR YOUNG KIDS.
THEY HAVE GOLF THEME THINGS AS WELL.
UM, I KNOW PERSONALLY WE TRAVEL TO OTHER PARK DISTRICTS A LOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS.
I FEEL LIKE WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT, LIKE WE'VE GOT THE CONCERT SERIES, BUT
[01:15:01]
I FEEL LIKE WE COULD DO MORE ACTIVITIES.LIKE TODAY, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, WE WENT TO A DIFFERENT AREA WHERE THEY HAD OLYMPIC GAMES SET UP FOR KIDS AGED TWO TO FIVE.
SO THEY HAD LIKE A JAVELIN THROW, A DISCUS THROW, HURDLES, LONG JUMP, SUPER SIMPLE THINGS.
BUT THERE WAS A PRETTY GOOD TURNOUT.
WE WEREN'T THERE FOR TOO LONG.
SO WE HAD OTHER THINGS GOING ON, BUT I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE, WE DON'T HAVE THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND I FEEL LIKE IT'D BE EASY ENOUGH TO INCORPORATE AND I HAVE A WHOLE LIST OF IDEAS, BUT IT'S JUST GETTING IT INCORPORATED.
AND I ASKED THAT QUESTION TOO.
THINK, UH, CASEY, BECAUSE I CAME HOME THE OTHER DAY AND THERE WAS A METAL MAGNETIC STICKER ON MY DOOR.
IT WAS A FLY, A MAGNETIC FLYER.
SAID JOIN A DIE PARK COMMUNITY.
AND THEY IMMEDIATELY, SATURDAY 21ST OF THIS MONTH AT ONE O'CLOCK AT DIE PARK.
AND I LIVED BY THE QUARTER OF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD FROM THERE.
BUT IT SAID HIDDEN GROUP
SO
BUT IT'S A GROUP THAT WANTS TO GET TOGETHER AT DONALD PARK SATURDAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.
I GUESS YOU, I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS.
WELL, ALL THEY SAY, EXCUSE ME, THEY SAY HIDDEN GROUP FOR US, US ONLY NOW.
I'M NOT SURE THAT MEANS, YOU KNOW, KEEP IT AMONG YOURSELF AND WE ARE GOING TO GET, SO I'M, I'M, I'M GOING BECAUSE I'M CURIOUS AS TO WHAT, WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.
I WAS SEND YOU A COPY OF THAT.
UH, MATTER OF FACT, I WOULD, I WOULD, I WOULD TEXT IT OUT TO YOU.
I GOT ON MY PHONE HERE, I GOT A COPY PICTURE OF IT, BUT, UH, BUT IT WAS ON MY DOOR AND SO I WAS JUST WONDERING TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS ABOUT.
BUT THIS WHAT CASEY WAS SAYING HERE, OBVIOUS KNOW WE GOTTA FIND SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY HAD MAGNETS MADE.
THAT'S LIKE, IT'S LIKE A MAGNET THAT THEY IT WAS A MAGNET OR A IT WAS A MAGNET.
IT WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SMALL PIECE OF A, A CARDBOARD.
ABOUT WHAT? FIVE BY SEVEN, I GUESS.
BUT IT WAS A MAGNET WAS STUCK TO MY, MY DOOR.
AND I HAVE IT ON MY REFRIGERATOR NOW BECAUSE YOU PICKED ON THE REFRIGERATOR.
SO WHOEVER ORGANIZED THIS, YOU KNOW, THEY WOULDN'T RUN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND I SAW IT.
SO I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO GO THERE JUST FOR A FEW MINUTES THAT SATURDAY.
SEE WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT? ALL WONDERFUL.
THAT'S A, THAT'S A PICTURE OF IT THERE.
BUT THAT WOULD BE THE CASE OF ACTUALLY USING OUR APARTMENTS.
I MEAN YEAH, I THAT WOULD BE GOOD, RIGHT? I WANNA SEE WHAT, WHAT THEY GOING TO DO NOT.
SO I WOULD BE THERE TO SEE WHAT, WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY.
THEY WOULD ORGANIZE LIKE EASTER, EASTER HUNTS DURING EASTER, RIGHT.
PARK AND ING MAYBE IT'S JUST AN ORGANIZATION.
FOOD GAMES, MUSIC AND FUN WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
I'LL GO SEE WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, YOU KNOW.
BUT ANYWAY, THANKS FOR THIS HAPPEN.
YOU MADE IT SOUND LIKE IT WAS LIKE A SECRET.
I KNOW, KNOW, LIKE THEY'RE, I'M LIKE, OH NO, THEY'RE GONNA BE PROTESTING THE GAZEBO FEELS NATIVE PLANT YOU TO GET I KNOW
WELL, I'M GLAD THAT THEY'RE USING IT.
AND YOU CAN ASSURE THEM THAT THOSE NATIVE PLANTS ARE COMING.
UM, IN FACT, I'M WORKING ON A PLAN FOR A MASS TREE PLANTING OUT THERE TOO, SO I'LL BE BRINGING THAT TO YOU GUYS SHORTLY.
UM, RESIDENTS SHOULD HAVE A VOICE.
CAN I ASK FOR CLARIFICATION ON THAT ONE TOO? YEAH, THAT WAS MINE.
I, THESE ARE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, SO IT SHOULD BE THE NEIGHBORS PARK.
THE ONES KIND OF WAS GETTING THE NEIGHBORS START THEIR OWN PROGRAM.
DOESN'T BE THE CITY COMING IN.
THE NEIGHBORS SETTING PROGRAMS OR, UM, LETTING KNOW IF THERE'S IN THERE PARKS YEAH.
OPPOSED TO US JUST KIND SAYING.
I'M GONNA X OUT OF THIS ONE AND IF THERE'S NOTHING MORE THAN I AM READY TO TALK ABOUT CLOUD PARK IF YOU ARE.
[01:20:01]
I'M GONNA PULL UP A LITTLE DIFFERENT OF A WINDOW HERE.SO EARLIER ALEX DISCUSSED, UM, MY HAVING GONE TO CITY COUNCIL, UM, AND WE IN CITY COUNCIL'S SENTIMENT THAT MAYBE WE COULD START PUTTING SOME OF OUR EFFORTS AND MONEY WHERE THE PEOPLE GO.
UM, AND I AM FROM SOUTH DAYTON AREA.
I'M FROM MIAMISBURG ORIGINALLY AND I WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH CLOUD PARK BEFORE EVER MOVING HERE BECAUSE I PLAYED SOCCER THERE EVERY YEAR FROM EIGHT YEARS OLD TO 18 YEARS OLD.
SO, UM, THAT IS PROBABLY THE ONE PARK I WAS FAMILIAR WITH.
UM, WHEN I CAME HERE, I WAS REALLY OPEN TO THE IDEA OF THE EEL BERG BEING THE PRIMARY EVENT SPACE AND THEN HAVING OPERATED OUT OF THE EEL BERG EVENT SPACE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW, UM, I STARTED TO BECOME A LITTLE DISENCHANTED WITH THAT AS OUR MAIN EVENT VENUE.
I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL FOR DRAWING IN CROWDS OF A COUPLE, YOU KNOW, UP TO A THOUSAND OR SO.
AND THEN AFTER THAT I THINK YOU START TO EXPERIENCE SOME PARKING LOWS, ESPECIALLY IN THE, UH, HEAT OF THE SUMMER WITH, UM, ACTIVITIES GOING ON AT THE AQUATIC CENTER.
I THINK THAT, UM, WE EXPERIENCE, UM, SOME VERY WINDY GUSTS UP THERE ON THAT HILL THAT CAN MAKE VENDOR SPACES, UM, A LITTLE CHALLENGING.
AND THEN WHEN THE SENIOR CENTER MOVED TO THE FORMER SINCLAIR SITE, IT JUST MADE MUCH MORE SENSE TO ME THAT WE PUT OUR MONEY INTO INCREASING THE LONGEVITY AND THE LIVELIHOOD OF THE SENIORS UP THERE AND THE PEOPLE USING THE Y AND THE PEOPLE USING THE AQUATICS CENTER.
AND WE TRY AND KEEP THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, ATHLETIC ORIENTED.
WE CAN ABSOLUTELY STILL USE THE AMPHITHEATER, UM, FOR SMALLER SHOWS.
WE CAN ALLOW EXTERNAL USER GROUPS TO USE IT FOR SMALLER SHOWS.
I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL PLACE THAT IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A 5K TO BE GIVING OUT YOUR AWARDS AND HAVE YOUR DJ BLASTING YOUR PUMP UP MUSIC FROM SAME, IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE AN EVENTUAL BASKETBALL OR TENNIS TOURNAMENT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, I THINK IT'LL BE A GREAT VENUE, UM, FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT USERS UP THERE.
BUT CLOUD PARK, BY AND LARGE OUTPERFORMS THE ATTENDANCE ON ANY OTHER PARK IN OUR COMMUNITY.
UM, AND IT ACTUALLY HAS A LARGER DRAW ANNUALLY NUMBER OF VISITS THAN JOHN BRYAN STATE PARK.
WE ALSO GET MORE VISITORS THERE THAN ROTARY PARK AND BEAVER CREEK, WHICH IS ANOTHER LARGE PARK AND ANOTHER LARGE COMMUNITY.
UM, WE ARE GETTING MORE VISITORS THAN RIVERSCAPE IN DAYTON.
SO WITH THAT IN MIND, UM, AND KIND OF JUST THAT SOME AREAS OF CLOUD PARK ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIRED THAN OTHERS, UM, I STARTED TO LOOK INTO THE IDEA OF MOVING OUR EVENT SPACE UP THERE.
I WAS EVEN FURTHER, UM, DESIRED TO MOVE THE EVENT SPACE TO CLOUD PARK IN PLANNING AND SEEING THE PLANS UNFOLD FOR STAR-SPANGLED HEIGHTS AS WELL.
UM, BECAUSE THAT'S AN AMAZING EVENT THAT WE'RE POURING A LOT OF MONEY AND HEART AND SOUL INTO.
AND THEN, UM, IT JUST FEELS LIKE THE SPACE ISN'T REALLY READY FOR THAT TYPE OF EVENT.
SO, UM, I BROUGHT TO COUNCIL THE IDEA OF IMPROVING CLOUD PARK IN A NUMBER OF WAYS.
THIS WAS ALSO CATALYZED BY THE NEED TO UPGRADE THE SPLASH PAD.
UM, THE SPLASH PAD, AS CHRIS I'M SURE HAS TOLD YOU OVER THE YEARS, IS, UM, COSTING MORE AND MORE IN MAINTENANCE.
IT'S ABOUT 15 YEARS OLD, I THINK.
UM, AND IT'S JUST KIND OF AT THE END OF ITS LIVELIHOOD ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE CITY.
YOU KNOW, IT WENT THROUGH A CHANGEOVER IN HARD AND SOFT WATER AS WELL.
AND SO IT'S JUST, IT'S WORN OUT.
IT'S PAST ITS PRIME AND IT, THE SIZE OF IT UNDER SERVES THE SIZE OF THE CROWDS THAT WE GET THERE.
SO, UM, WITH THAT IN MIND, THE SPLASH PAD WOULD BE THE FIRST AND HIGHEST PRIORITY.
THE GOAL WOULD BE TO MAKE IT LARGER, TO ADD SHADE AND TO LOOK FOR SOME UNIQUE, UM, THEMATIC ELEMENTS, WHETHER THAT IS NATURE OR PLAY ON THE WORD CLOUD.
AND WE HAVE KITES AND RAINBOWS AND CLOUDS RAINING DOWN ON PEOPLE.
UM, BUT TO MAKE IT A REALLY ATTRACTIVE DRAW THAT'S ABLE TO SERVICE UP TO A COUPLE HUNDRED KIDS COMING THROUGH, UH, IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, BECAUSE WE DEFINITELY SEE THAT DOWN THERE.
THE IDEA WOULD ALSO BE TO ADD AN AMPHITHEATER WITH SHADE STRUCTURES.
ANOTHER REALLY GREAT THING ABOUT THE ORIENTATION IN THIS PARK, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS CAN TELL HERE, BUT RIGHT HERE WHERE MY CURSOR IS, THIS IS BRANT PIKE.
SO WE'RE AT THE FRONT OF THE PARK HERE, THIS TREE LINE AND HERE IS THE CREEK.
AND THEN OVER HERE IS OUR BIG PURPLE PLAYGROUND.
UM, THAT'S VERY ACCESSIBLE, UH, OR INCLUSIVE.
UM, THIS TREE LINE ABOUT SEVEN O'CLOCK SHADES A TON OF THIS AREA,
[01:25:01]
SO IT'S ALREADY GREAT FOR EVENING EVENTS.UM, PLUS WE'RE GONNA ADD SOME SHADE STRUCTURES TOO.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME SEATING BUILT IN.
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE PEOPLE SITTING IN THERE.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO BRING THEIR CHAIRS.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE VENDOR SPACE.
THE IDEA WOULD BE THAT WE HAVE HOOKUPS FOR FOOD TRUCKS SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY GRANT DAILY PERMITS TO FOOD TRUCKS THAT CAN BE VENDING OUT THERE IN THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER.
UM, HELPING US TO RECOUP A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY AND ALSO SERVING THE PATRONS OUT OF THE PARK AND SERVING THE LOCAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY.
THEN THIS, UM, LARGE SHELTER HERE.
THIS IS A, IT'S SOLD AS A FARMER'S MARKET SHELTER, BUT WE CAN PUT ANY TYPES OF VENDORS ON IT UNDER IT WE WANT TO.
SO THAT WOULD MEAN WHEN WE'RE HAVING OUR EVENTS AND WE WANNA BOOK 20 VENDORS AND GIVE THEM A SIX FOOT TABLE TO SELL THEIR WARES.
WE NO LONGER HAVE TO HAVE A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT TENTS POPPED UP.
UM, WE CAN PLOP THEM UNDER HERE.
OF COURSE, IF WE HAVE A LARGE ENOUGH EVENT, WE CAN STILL USE SOME TENTS OUTSIDE OF IT.
UM, BUT THIS WILL ALLOW VENDORS FACE FOR MANY OF OUR EVENTS.
THIS HERE IS THE AMPHITHEATER IN THE CORNER.
SO YOU CAN SEE WE'RE KIND OF COMING UP HERE TOWARDS THE DRIVE TO GET INTO THE PARK.
AND WE'RE GONNA ADD A SMALL PLAY ELEMENT.
AND THIS IS, UM, REALLY NOT GONNA BE A SUPER LARGE PLAY STRUCTURE, BUT MORE OF LIKE AN AREA FOR YOUR KIDS TO KEEP BUSY.
SOME OF THOSE NATURAL ELEMENTS THAT LOOK LIKE, UM, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE ASTRO TURF HILLS WITH SLIDES BUILT IN AND LITTLE CLIMBING WALLS BUILT IN.
AND SOME OF, YOU KNOW, IT'S FUN TO PLAY HIDE AND SEEK AND IT'S FUN TO CLIMB ON THE ROCKS AND JUMP OFF, BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A SWING SET 'CAUSE THAT IS VERY CLOSE BY JUST OVER THE CREEK.
AND THEN THE GOAL HERE WOULD BE THAT YOU CAN SIT AND HAVE, UM, YOUR REFRESHMENTS AND LISTEN TO THE BAND.
AND DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE CROWD, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THEM, BUT YOU'D BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO 'EM.
AND THEN YOU CAN WATCH YOUR KIDS PLAY HERE.
UM, THIS PATIO HERE IS PART OF OUR CONCESSION STAND.
SO WE WOULD HAVE THIS AREA THAT HAS BATHROOMS REBUILT LARGER, A FAMILY RESTROOM WITH AN ACCESSIBLE, UM, ADULT CHANGING TABLE.
AND, UM, CONCESSIONS BEING SERVED HERE ON THE SIDE SO THAT YOU CAN STAND IN LINE AND STILL SEE THE BAND.
UM, STAND THE LINE, SEE OVER HERE TO THE PATIO, SEE HERE TO THE SPLASH PAD.
AND THEN THAT'S THE LARGER OVERARCHING VIEW.
UM, THE FEEDBACK THAT I'VE GOTTEN FROM COUNCIL SO FAR IS THAT THEY LIKE IT.
UH, THEY WANT IT EVEN BIGGER AND BETTER.
AND SO WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT MAKING IT EVEN BIGGER AND BETTER.
UM, BUT THE GOAL WOULD BE THAT THE MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE USING CLOUD PARK ON A DAILY BASIS ARE NOW INCREDIBLY AWARE OF ALL OF THE CITY'S ONGOINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE WALKING PAST THEM EVERY DAY.
UM, AT THE SAME TIME WE ARE GOING TO, UM, IN THE RFP DRAFT THAT I HAVE NOW, IT DOES REQUIRE THE FIRM DOING THE DESIGN WORK.
THIS IS NOT TECHNICALLY AN ENGINEERED DESIGN, THIS IS JUST ARTISTIC TO KIND OF HELP SELL THE IDEA.
SO THE FIRM THAT WOULD COME IN AND ENGINEER AND DESIGN THE ENTIRE CONCEPT WILL BE REQUIRED TO MEET WITH ALL OF OUR USER GROUPS OUT THERE AT THE PARK.
SO THAT'S OUR SOCCER PLAYERS, OUR BASEBALL, AND CAROL TENNIS.
EVERYBODY THAT'S OUT THERE, THEY'RE GONNA MEET WITH THEM, HAVE DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM ABOUT HOW THEY USE THE PARK, HOW THEY NEED TO USE THE PARK.
UM, THEY ALSO WILL MEET WITH THE PARK BOARD.
SO THAT WOULD BE FORTHCOMING AFTER THAT PROPOSAL IS AWARDED.
AND, UM, ANY OTHER STAKEHOLDERS THAT WE FEEL APPROPRIATE AT THAT TIME TO HELP GIVE THEM INPUT AND INSIGHT BEFORE THEY DIVE INTO A DESIGN.
SO, UM, I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT WE'RE GONNA ADD THAT COMMUNITY INPUT COMPONENT.
UM, THIS AREA HERE LARGELY DOES NOT AFFECT OUR BIGGEST USER GROUPS OUT THERE.
UM, AND THERE IS STILL A LITTLE BIT OF GREEN SPACE HERE.
IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO JUST PLAY, YOU KNOW, A PICKUP GAME OF FRISBEE OR SOMETHING, UM, THERE'S DEFINITELY STILL GREEN SPACE.
AND THEN WE ALSO IN THAT RFP ARE ASKING FOR THEM TO GIVE, UM, YOU KNOW, AN ENTRYWAY UPDATE AND IF THERE'S GONNA BE SOME THEMATIC ELEMENTS IN HERE THAT THEY CARRY THOSE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF THE PARK.
UM, SO THAT IT KIND OF FEELS LIKE YOU'RE NOW IN A, A PLACE MEANT TO BE A PLACE.
SO WHETHER THEY DO SOME SORT OF BRICK OR STONE OR SOMETHING, MAYBE WE ADD SOME BRICK OR STONE ELEMENTS ONE OFF.
AND THEN FINALLY THE LAST PART OF THE RFP IS THAT, UM, THE CITY RECENTLY ACQUIRED NINE ACRES OF LAND, UM, ADJACENT TO I THINK IT WAS 2021 ADJACENT TO THE PARK.
AND SO WE WANT A USE PLAN FOR WHAT IS THAT? UM, RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST OVERGROWN CORN CROP.
UM, DO WE TURN IT INTO NATURE TRAILS? DO WE TURN IT INTO A CRICKET COURSE? DO WE TURN IT INTO ANOTHER BASEBALL FIELD? UM,
[01:30:01]
WHAT DO WE DO? SO, UM, THEY'RE GONNA GIVE US MULTITUDES OF IDEAS FOR THAT AND MULTITUDES OF IDEAS FOR THE TYPES OF PROGRAMMING AND THINGS THAT WE COULD BE DOING IN THE PARKS ALSO, UM, BASED ON THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS.SO I WANTED TO PRESENT THAT TO YOU.
IT, THE BALL IS KIND OF ROLLING ON IT.
UM, BUT YOU WILL BE INVOLVED FROM A STANDPOINT OF GIVING IDEAS AND FEEDBACK AND IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER.
WOULD IT BE ONE CONTRACT FOR THE WHOLE THING? RIGHT? ONE PROPOSAL.
THE DESIGN IS ONE CONTRACT, ONE VENDOR, DO ALL OF THAT.
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BREAK IT INTO KIND OF COMMON SENSE IMPLEMENTATION LEVELS.
YOU KNOW, DO THIS FIRST AND THEN YEAR TWO DO THIS, OR, YOU KNOW, MONTH SIX DO THIS HOWEVER QUICKLY OR, OR SLOWLY IT GOES.
BUT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BREAK IT INTO THOSE, UM, SEGMENTS FOR US.
THOSE SEGMENTS MIGHT END UP BEING BID OUT INDIVIDUALLY OR AS A WHOLE.
UM, FOR EXAMPLE, WE KNOW WE NEED TO MOVE ON THE SPLASH PAD QUICKLY, SO THAT COULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS BID OUT AND WE COULD JUST BID OUT WITH A FIRM TO DO THE SPLASH PAD AND WHOEVER COMES IN AND DOES THE REST OF THE PARK, WE REQUIRE 'EM TO WORK AROUND IT.
BUT THEY'RE THAT FIRM WITH THEIR LEVEL OF EXPERTISE, THEY'RE GONNA HELP US DICTATE THAT TIMELINE.
I THINK THE CRICKET COURTS ARE INTERESTING 'CAUSE IT VOA, YOU KNOW, YOU DRIVE BY VOICE OF AMERICA PARK AND HAVE YOU BEEN DOWN THERE FOR SOCCER TOURNAMENTS? SO THEY'RE ALWAYS OUT THERE PLAYING CRICKET NOW.
I MEAN, IT'S AMAZING TO DRIVE BY AND SEE 'EM YEAH.
I THINK CRICKET IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE IN THE US BECAUSE YOU HAVE A WHOLE GENERATION WATCHING BLUEY.
YOU CAN THINK OF IT LIKE THAT.
MY DOG WATCHES BLUEY, BUT I'VE WATCHED IT FOR FIVE MINUTES.
BUT I MEAN, IF YOU GO DOWN AND GO TO BOA, I MEAN THEY ARE CONSTANTLY OUT THERE PLAYING CRICKET ALL THE TIME.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A CRICKET PITCH SOMEWHERE IN THE SYSTEM.
WHETHER OR NOT IT'S THAT SLIVER OF NINE ACRES THEY'RE GONNA LOOK AT OR NOT.
UM, I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'M HOPEFUL THAT THERE WOULD BE ONE SOMEWHERE IN OUR SYSTEM.
WE DO HAVE A LARGE, UM, DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF MANY IMMIGRANTS AND, AND OBVIOUSLY CRICKET'S BIGGER IN THE REST OF THE WORLD THAN THE US TOO.
PLEASE BRING THAT TO THE TABLE TOO.
AND I KNOW I LEFT STAR SPANGLED HEIGHTS AND I WAS LIKE, PLEASE JUST LET ME MOVE
SO THIS, SO THIS UM, PROJECT, WHAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT HERE ON THE SCREEN IS JUST THE FRONT PART OF THE PARK, BUT THERE'S THE PLAN TO DO THE WHOLE PARK THEN LIKE EVERYTHING, LIKE THE BASKETBALL, LIKE WOULD THAT INCLUDE BASKETBALL COURTS, THE TENNIS COURTS UP THERE? THE, IS IT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE? I MEAN WHAT YEAH, THEY'RE NOT IN THERE ANYMORE, BUT YES.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE DESIGN SPECIFICALLY OF THIS QUADRANT.
AND HELP WITH THE DIRECTION TO TAKE ON THAT NINE ACRES.
THAT'S I I THINK TECHNICALLY IN RIVERSIDE.
IF NOT IN RIVERSIDE THEN THEY'RE VERY CLOSE TO IT THAT'S NOW PARKED THE PARK.
IT'S BACK BEHIND THE BASEBALL FENCE.
THEN WHAT THEY'RE GONNA DO FOR THE REST OF THE PARK IS TALK ABOUT A USE PLAN OF, HEY, THIS BASKETBALL COURT OR THIS TENNIS COURT IS ABOUT TO BE OUT OF COMMISSION.
YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
BUT THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY GONNA DO THAT DESIGN AND THAT SCOPE.
THEY'RE JUST GONNA GIVE US IDEAS.
AND THEN THE ONE THING THAT WILL BE SPREAD THROUGH THE PARK HOPEFULLY IS THEY'RE GONNA GIVE US SOME IDEAS TO KIND OF TIE IT ALL TOGETHER SO IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE IN ONE PARK IN THE FRONT OF THE PARK AND THEN YOU CROSS OVER THE LITTLE CREEK AND YOU'RE LIKE, OKAY, NOW I'M JUST IN STILL THAT KIND OF TIRED PARK FROM THE NINETIES.
THEY'RE JUST GONNA GIVE US SOME THINGS.
SO AN IDEA MIGHT BE THAT IF THEY HAVE A BRICK WALKING PATH AROUND HERE, WELL THEN EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THEY MIGHT JUST DO A SPATTERING OF LIKE A BRICK LINE IN THE SIDEWALK OR SOMETHING JUST TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE IT'S ALL TIED TOGETHER.
BUT YEAH, LIKE YOU MENTIONED, I MEAN CLOUD PARK IS VERY BIG AND YOU DO HAVE THOSE SECTIONS, LIKE I FEEL LIKE YOU ALMOST HAVE THREE OR FOUR PARKS IN ONE MM-HMM.
AND I FEEL LIKE THERE'S JUST YES, IT'S VERY COMBOBULATED AND JUST SPREAD OUT AND THERE'S NO FLOW TO IT.
[01:35:01]
TO KIND OF BRING IT TOGETHER IN A WAY.THAT IS THEN I'M OFFICIALLY DONE TALKING.
GOT ANY QUESTIONS FOR SARAH BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM HERE? OKAY.
UM, THE NEXT ITEM ADDITION BUSINESS.
FIRST OF ALL, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE, UH, TAKE CARE OF SOME ACTION TONIGHT THAT WE GOT CITY, UH, COUNCIL APPROVAL TO DO.
AND THAT WAS THE HONORARY BOARD MEMBERS.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS THE SUGGESTION CAME UP TO HAVE STUDENTS ATTEND AND GET INVOLVED IN THE, THE BOARD HERE SAYS HUBERT CITY COUNCIL HAS TWO SCHOOL DISTRICTS, BETH AND WAYNE, WE HAVE TO HAVE TWO SPOTS.
IT'D BE UNFAIR TO HAVE WAYNE TAKE PART AND BETH OR NOT.
SO WE NEED TO KEEP THAT IN MIND.
WE START FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GONNA DO THIS.
I ALSO SUGGEST THAT WE, MY SUGGESTED THAT WE TRY AND FINALIZE THE APPROACH THIS WEEK, THIS MEETING, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A PLAN READY FOR THE AUGUST MEETING BECAUSE SINCE THE STUDENT GO ON AND BE HERE FOR WHAT, WHAT NINE OR 10 MONTHS, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T WAIT TO HALF THE YEAR AND THEN HAVE THEM SHOW UP.
SO I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND THAT WE TAKE THAT SERIOUS TONIGHT AND FINALIZE THE PLAN HOW WE WANT TO DO THAT.
SO I GUESS WE CAN GET THAT BACK TO CHRIS TO GET THE COUNSELOR.
TRYING TO THINK WHAT THE PROCESS HERE.
WE DECIDED WE ONLY HAVE TWO MEMBERS, ONE FROM EACH SCHOOL.
I THINK THAT THEY RECOMMENDED WE JUST USE OUR EXISTING APPLICATION.
AND THAT, UM, AND WE JUST GET THAT TO THE SCHOOLS.
AND LET, SO WE CAN EITHER GET IT TO THE SCHOOLS AND SAY, WILL YOU GIVE THIS TO YOUR STUDENT BODY? RIGHT.
OR WE COULD ASK THE SCHOOLS, DO YOU HAVE A STUDENT LEADER YOU'D LIKE TO NOMINATE TO BE ON THIS BOARD? OKAY.
AND THAT MIGHT, THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL BECAUSE I COULD SEE A CHILD, A, A TEAM BEING MORE MOTIVATED BY GETTING TAPPED, GETTING CHOSEN TO DO SOMETHING, UM, VERSUS AN APPLICATION PROCESS.
SO I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THE BOARD NEEDS TO DECIDE ON.
UM, ALSO, IS THERE AN AGE, DO WE WANNA LIKE SPECIFICALLY ASK FOR LIKE JUNIORS? UM, BECAUSE THEN MAYBE ONCE THEY'RE SENIORS THEY CAN REGISTER TO VOTE AND THEN STAY ON OUR BOARD AS LONG AS THEY STAY LOCAL.
UM, OR YOU KNOW, DO WE WANT 'EM TO AT LEAST BE SOPHOMORES SO THEY CAN, WE CAN BE PRETTY WELL ASSURED THEY CAN DRIVE TO GET HERE.
WHATEVER SORT OF THEORIES YOU MIGHT HAVE.
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT STUDENTS WHO ARE IN THE CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT ARE GOING THROUGH LIKE SCHOOLS THAT AREN'T CJ? YEAH, WE'RE HOMESCHOOL.
I I ALMOST SAY THAT WE, WE COULD FRAME IT THAT WE HAVE TWO SPOTS WITH THE INTENTION THAT IT'S ONE WAYNE STUDENT AND ONE BETHEL STUDENT, BUT ALL APPLICANTS WILL BE CONSIDERED AND THAT THAT WON'T BE COUNTED AGAINST YOU.
UM, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'LL HAVE IT.
I COMPLETELY LEAVE OFF THE INTENTION FOR THE LANE OR THE BE, BECAUSE THAT MIGHT THROW SOMEBODY OFF.
IF, IF THEY'RE HOMESCHOOLED AND THEY THINK, OH WELL THESE SPOTS ARE ALREADY SELECTED FOR THESE TWO SCHOOLS.
SO WE CAN ADVERTISE IT AT CJ, WE CAN ADVERTISE IT AT CARROLL.
WE CAN PUT IT ON THE CITY'S FACEBOOK PAGE AND THEN WHOEVER APPLIES.
AND THEN IF WE GET TO A POINT WHERE WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY INTERESTED, THEN WE COULD APPROACH MR. KERRY AT WAYNE AND ASK THEM TO NOMINATE AND ASK THEM, SEE IF THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, A GOVERNMENT TEACHER HAS A STUDENT THAT WOULD REALLY THRIVE ON THAT.
I THINK WE JUST HAVE TO OPEN IT UP AND WE COULD WORK ON, UH, A MARKETING PIECE THAT COULD GO TO THOSE SCHOOLS PLUS ON THE FACEBOOK PAGE SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO HIT EVERYBODY AND WE COULD DO IT THAT WAY.
AND THEN IF WE GET TO OCTOBER AND WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY, OKAY.
THEN WE COULD DIRECTLY APPROACH THE SCHOOLS.
WILL YOU NOMINATE SOMEONE? YEAH.
THAT'S THE FALLBACK TO ASK FOR THE DIRECT NOMINATION.
UM, AND COUNSEL DID INDICATE THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO ONLY BE TWO.
UM, OBVIOUSLY WE ONLY HAVE SO MANY SEATS IN THE ROOM.
UM, BUT IT COULD BE AS MANY AS YOU
[01:40:01]
WANNA TAKE.WELL, TWO WOULD, I THINK TWO WOULD BE THE STARTING SPOT.
AND IF WE HAVE AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE TO IT, WE COULD CONSIDER OPENING IT UP MORE.
SO I THINK STARTING WITH TWO WOULD BE A GREAT, GREAT PLACE.
ONE FROM EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WELL, TWO SPOTS, BUT WE CAN'T, WE WOULD OH, I WOULD SAY OPENING IT UP TO EVERYONE WHO'S ELIGIBLE.
A STUDENT IN HUBER HEIGHTS, RIGHT.
YOU THEY HAVE TO LIVE IN HUBER HEIGHTS.
SO THAT OPENS IT UP TO EVERY HOMESCHOOL.
UM, BUT I THINK THOSE TWO SPOTS, AND WE DON'T NAME THEM BETHEL OR WING, THEY JUST, SAME TO STUDENT HEIGHT.
THEY JUST HAVE TO LIVE IN HUBER HEIGHTS.
WELL PEOPLE GO TO BETHEL, SOME PEOPLE DO LIVE HUBER HEIGHTS AND GO TO BETHEL TRAIL WHERE IT'S TIP CITY.
WELL
OR IT'S TIP CITY MAIN, IT'S HUBER HEIGHTS CITY.
SO THEY'RE FURTHER OUT BETHEL, FURTHER OUT.
WELL, BUT YOU CITY, THEY HAVE TO LIVE IN HUBBERT HEIGHTS.
THEY HAVE TO LIVE BE THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
SEE YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN THAT LIVE WITH YOU, THEY, THEY WILL QUALIFY.
BUT THEY LIVE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 40 FOR EXAMPLE.
THEY WOULDN'T THAT'S BETHEL, RIGHT? YEAH.
THAT'S BUT IT IS A CITY THING.
SO I THINK THAT SEPARATION IS FINE BUT THE CITY OF HU RIGHTS DOESN'T GO ALL THE WAY FAST FORWARD.
THE SCHOOL ISN'T SPONSORED THIS.
IF IT'S A CITY THING, THEN YOU CAN'T SAY HU RIGHTS AND BETHANY YEAH.
SO THE CORPORATE LIMIT FOR HUBER HEIGHTS FEEDS INTO TIP CITY MAILING ADDRESSES.
JUST LIKE ON UH, AGAIN, SOUTH DAYTON MIAMI TOWNSHIP HAS DAYTON MAILING ADDRESSES.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME DAYTON MAILING ADDRESSES HERE.
BUT IT WOULD BE THE ACTUAL CORPORATE CITY LIMIT.
AND A STUDENT COULD ATTEND ANY SCHOOL AS LONG AS THEY LIVE, AS LONG AS THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE THIS CITY COUNCIL.
WHAT I'M SAYING IS YOU, YOU CAN'T SAY IT'S FROM VESSEL BECAUSE SOME VESSEL KIDS YEAH.
BUT SOME KIDS WHO LIVE IN HUBER HEIGHTS AND GO TO BETHEL WOULD QUALIFY.
THOSE PEOPLE CARRY EACH TRAIL.
SO MAKE SURE IF WE, IF WE PUT THAT TOGETHER THEN THE FLY, PUT THAT ALL IN ONE SECOND.
WELL IT HAS TO BE CLARIFIED THAT HUBER HEIGHTS RESIDENT, SO WHEN THEY SEE THAT BETHEL, THEY WILL KNOW THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR KNOW THAT YUBA HEIGHTS RESIDENT WHO LIVE THERE AND GO TO SCHOOL INVEST WILL BE THE ONE TO QUALIFY ANY STUDENT RESIDING IN IN YUBA HEIGHTS.
SO I THINK WHAT YOU PROBABLY WANNA DO AS A BOARD IS COME UP WITH YOUR PHRASING AND QUALIFICATIONS AND THEN PROBABLY MAKE A MOTION THAT THAT'S WHAT YOU WANNA DO.
LIKE WE WANT STUDENTS 16 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER RESIDING IN THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS TO APPLY.
AND THEN IF WE DON'T SEE ANY QUALIFIED APPLICANTS, WE WILL ASK FOR NOMINATIONS FROM OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS.
I THINK 16 IS A GOOD AGE BECAUSE THAT WAY THEY'LL BE THE SOUTH MORE THAN JUNIORS.
DO OTHER CITIES HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS? YES.
DO WE KNOW, HAVE WE LEARNED ANYTHING FROM WHAT THEY'VE DONE OR CAN WE LEARN FROM WHAT THEY'VE DONE? UM, THE ONE THAT I'M MOST FAMILIAR WITH IS MY FORMER EMPLOYER AND WE UM, WE WOULD GET A ONE JUNIOR EACH YEAR AND THEY WERE CHOSEN BY THE SCHOOL, UM, ONE JUNIOR AND THEY WOULD, THE IDEA WAS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE LOOP AND DO TWO YEARS.
SO THEY WOULD DO THEIR JUNIOR YEAR AND THEIR SENIOR YEAR, BUT THEN HALFWAY THROUGH THEIR SENIOR YEAR, THE NEW JUNIOR COMES ON.
SO THERE'S A TIME PERIOD THERE WHERE THERE'S TWO STUDENTS ON TWO STUDENT LIAISONS.
I'M JUST THINKING IF WE OPEN UP FOR APPLICATIONS, I MEAN THAT'S WHEN STUDENTS ARE LOOKING TO PICK UP THEIR RESUMES FOR COLLEGE AND WE COULD JUST GET INUNDATED WITH A BUNCH OF APPLICATIONS AND THEN WE GOTTA PICK BETWEEN 150.
WELL I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM.
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM TOO.
WE COME BACK NEXT WEEK AND WE'LL SOLVE THAT PROBLEM
AND IF WE DO HAVE THAT, THEN WE WILL DEFINITELY BE TAPPING YOU ALL TO,
[01:45:01]
HEY WE NEED TO HAVE SOME SORT OF INTERVIEW, UH, PANELS OR SOMETHING.UM, YEAH WE'LL BE PROCESS FOR HOW TO MANAGE ALL THAT.
THERE'S ALSO, WE COULD SEND OUT A SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE TOO AND SAY YEAH, BEFORE WE EVEN MEET WITH YOU, COMPLETE THIS AND THAT'LL PROBABLY CAUSE SOME PEOPLE TO DROP OFF AND YEAH.
ARE WE DOING INTERVIEWS AND OKAY.
BUT WHO'S GONNA START THAT? TAKE THE ACTION TO GET THAT.
I THINK YOU GOT, DO THEY NEED TO MAKE A MOTION? PROBABLY CHRIS THAT PROBABLY AND THEN THAT'S WHAT THEY
I'M LOOKING FOR A MOTION FROM UH, ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS TO UH, PREPARE INSTITUTE THE PROGRAM AS DESCRIBED.
TO PREPARE
YOU HAVE A SECOND? I WILL SECOND WE HAVE A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OBJECTION? ALRIGHT.
OKAY SARAH, SO YOU GOT THAT RIGHT? YES.
THE LAST ITEM THAT I HAVE IS THAT UH, WE WERE PLANNING ANOTHER PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT HERE AND WE WERE GOING TO DO THAT IN SEPTEMBER.
IT'D BE O'CLOCK COMMUNITY PARK.
AND UH, THIS TIME WE WERE GOING TO BREAK IT UP BY AGE GROUPS.
THE ONE WE DID IN JUNE WENT WELL, BUT THAT WAS AROUND ROBERTS SO EVERYBODY COULD PLAY AROUND.
SO NO PROBLEM THIS TIME WE WERE GOING TO BREAK IT UP BY AGE GROUP AND WE'RE GOING TO DO IT SO THAT THE 60 AND OVER AGE GROUP WILL PLAY ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WHILE THE OTHER KIDS WERE AT, WHILE THE OTHER FOLKS AT WORK
WE WERE GOING DO THE 16TH OVER ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND THEN ON A SATURDAY AND IF WE NEED SUNDAY WE WERE GOING TO BE DONE THE UH, THOSE 18 TO 59 AGE GROUP.
NOW WHAT I JUST NEED FROM THE BOARD HERE IS THAT ARE THERE ANY INPUTS OR ANYTHING WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHEN WE DO THIS? BECAUSE CHRIS GOTTA BE THE ONE I GUESS TO FIGURE OUT FOR HIS PERSONNEL, I GUESS TO HELP OUT WITH THIS BECAUSE I WON'T BE HELPING WITH THIS ONE.
I WAS GONNA BE PLAYING IN THIS ONE.
NO, AND YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY
I HAD DENNIS SAID YOU COULDN'T
I SAW
THEY LACK THE ROUND ROBINING TO PARTICIPATE BECAUSE ONE IS, YOU'RE NOT ELIMINATED THE FIRST OR THE SECOND GAME YOU GET TO PLAY MORE.
SO FOR THAT REASON THEY, THEY TEND TO LIKE THAT IDEA.
UH, SO WE ARE GONNA DO A COMBINATION ROUND ROBIN THEN SEE AND THEN YOU PLAY THROUGH ELIMINATION.
SO AT THE END YOU DO HAVE SOMEONE GETTING THE AWARD OF FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD PLACE.
SO THAT WAS THE FORMAT WE WERE GOING TO BE USING.
THE KEY, WHAT I NEED FROM THE GROUP THOUGH HERE IS I WAS GOING TO SET THE FEE AT $20 PER PERSON.
YEAH, I THINK, UM, DID WE SPEND CHARGE 20 LAST TIME? YEAH, I THINK SO.
SO WHAT, HOW MUCH IS THE SHIRT? 16 ISH.
16 AND NOT EVEN THAT BUT THEN WE BOUGHT WATER.
SO IT CAME OUT TO BE PRETTY MUCH BREAKEVEN.
I THINK LET'S RECOUP SOME OF YOUR STAFFING HOURS IN 25 OR SO.
WELL IT'S $20 FOR, FOR ONE EVENT.
BUT YOU PLAYED DOUBLED AND THEN MIXED DOUBLE THE NEXT DAY.
YOU'RE REALLY GONNA MAKE THIS CONFUSING AREN'T YOU? OKAY.
BUT I WANTED TO KEEP THE FEE SO THAT IT REASONABLE SO PEOPLE CAN PARTICIPATE.
I DON'T WANT TO START RAISING THE FEE TOO SOON BECAUSE UH, I MEAN CAN WE PUT A, LIKE I DON'T WANT A SHIRT OPTION AND THEN PEOPLE PAY 20 AND THEN IF THEY WANT A SHIRT THEN THEY PAY.
THERE'S NOT ANY TOURNAMENTS ANYMORE UNLESS THEY'RE CHARGING 67.
I MEAN WE DID THE ONE SHIRTS 'CAUSE IT WAS THE FOR SURE 'CAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST, I KNOW THE SHOWCASE ALWAYS GIVES SHIRTS.
BUT I THINK THE ROUND ROBIN THAT WE DID, WHICH WE PLAN ON DOING EVERY YEAR IN JUNE AND THAT'S THE OTHER POINT THAT THE CITY COUNCIL WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT.
THEY WANTED TO KEEP THAT AS THE EVENT EVERY YEAR, EARLY JUNE OR LATE MAY AROUND THE KING AND QUEEN OF COURTS.
SO THAT WOULD BE WHAT WE HAVE THE STREETS FOR THAT ONE ALSO.
BUT FOR THIS EVENT, I'M LIKE DENNIS, I DON'T THINK THAT STREETS WOULD BE THAT
[01:50:01]
IMPORTANT TO HAVE AT THIS PARTICULAR EVENT.IS THERE A LIMIT ON HOW MANY? IS THERE A, A CAP ON HOW MANY PLAYERS, HOW MANY TEAMS OF PLAYERS? YES, THERE WILL BE.
ALRIGHT, I GET THOSE TO YOU THEN.
NOW THOSE DATES ARE SEPTEMBER THE 19TH WILL BE WHERE WE WILL START, WHICH IS A THURSDAY AND WE SHOULD END ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER THE UH, UH, 21ST.
DO WE HAVE A RAIN DATE? NO, THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
UM, WE CAN'T DO IT THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THE MIDDLE OF THE SHOWCASE.
THIS EVENT WAS PICKED TO BE THE WEEK BEFORE THE SHOWCASE BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN WE CALL IT TUNE UP OR WHATEVER.
SO IF WE HAVE A RAIN DAY, IT HAS TO BE TWO WEEKS FOLLOWING THAT.
WOULD IT BE 26TH? NINE SEVEN? WOULD THAT BE OCTOBER? WOULDN'T IT? IT'D BE OCTOBER 3RD OR SOMETHING.
THAT'S A BAD DAY FOR THE, YEAH, BECAUSE WE HAVE, WE HAVE A 5K THAT, THAT SATURDAY MORNING.
UM, DOES IT NEED A RAIN DATE? ARE REFUNDS TERRIBLE? NOT NECESSARILY, NO.
IF THEY PAY WITH CREDIT CARD, IT'S JUST, AND WE'RE NOT BUYING SHIRTS SO IT'S JUST A CLICK BUY THE SNACKS LAST MINUTE.
HUH? COULD YOU BRING INSIDE? NO, WE'RE JUST THREE COURTS.
NO, YOU ONLY HAVE THREE COURTS RIGHT NOW WE ONLY HAVE THREE.
MAYBE THE SOLUTION THEN IS TO MOVE THIS UP ONE WEEK THEN INSTEAD OF THE 19TH MOVE IT UP TO THE 12TH.
WE TRY TO MONOPOLIZE MY WHOLE SEPTEMBER, RIGHT? YEAH.
WE HAVE A MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL ON THE 12TH.
AND I'M NOT IN, I'M NOT IN TOWN ON THAT.
WHERE? I GOT A BOARD RETREAT FOR THE WALK.
I CAN, I'LL GET STAFF TO COVER IT BUT I THINK THE CLOSEST THE, THE MORE YOU PUSH IT THAT WAY, THE HOTTER IT'S GONNA BE I THINK.
BUT WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT IN AUGUST BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN THAT'S THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND SO FORTH.
AND ALSO IT'S VERY HOT IN AUGUST.
I THINK YOU JUST THROW THE DS OUT.
WE REFUND IT RAINS AND WE GET A REFUND.
WHATEVER IF, BUT IF WE START PLAY, THERE'S NO REFUND IF IT RAINS OUT MIDDAY.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, I WAS OUT THE COURTS THE NIGHT.
BOARD DOWN RAINED WITHIN 10 MINUTES THOSE COURTS WOULD DROPPED.
SO THEY WANNA LEAVE THE 19TH TO START OUR DATE OR YOU WANNA MOVE BACK TO THE 12TH? JUST SLEEP THE 19TH.
OKAY, WE'LL LEAVE THE 19TH THEN.
I'LL GET THE DETAILS AND EVERYTHING AND WORK WITH THE UH, WHOEVER GOT PREPARED TO FLY.
I DON'T THINK WE NEED A MOTION ON THAT.
UH, THE ONLY THING I NEED BEFORE WE ALL LEAVE IS IF YOU NEED A SHIRT, PLEASE SEE ME.
I NEED TO TAKE DOWN YOUR SIZE AND THAT'S IT.
ARE WE DOING THE APPROVAL OF MINUTES? SHE'S GOING TO, YEAH.
MM-HMM?
WHICH ONE DO YOU PREFER? I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A REORDER OF THE GRAY ONE THAT JUSTICE HAS ON.
YOU SEE IT'S, UH, CASEY, YOU SEE IT? OKAY.
THEN THEY DO MAKE, I THINK THEY MAKE A WOMEN'S CUT IF YOU WOULD PREFER THAT TOO.
SO YOU CAN LET ME KNOW FOR HAVE THE OTHER ONE.
DO I HAVE A MOTION TO UH, ACCEPT THE MINUTES, THE JUNE 20 MINUTES? YEAH, I HAVE A MOTION FROM JUSTIN AND I HAVE A SECOND FROM 'EM.
CASEY, ALL IN FAVOR EXCEPTING THE MINUTES AS WRITTEN.
MINUTES ARE ACCEPTED AND I'M GOING RECOMMEND THAT THE MEETING BE ADJOURNED UNLESS THERE'S AN OBJECTION.
ALRIGHT, CAN I HAVE MS. ALEX OR DO YOU WANT ME TO, YOU.
