[ AGENDA MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road July 24, 2024 6:00 P.M. ]
[00:00:03]
CALL THE MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION HUB HEIGHTS TO ORDER.
COULD EVERYBODY STAND FOR YOUR PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, PLEASE? ALLEGIANCE, FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS.
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE.
WHILE WE'RE COMING FOR YOU RIGHT NOW TO SAY THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR KEEPING OUR FAMILY SAFE, KEEPING US PROTECTED, AND KEEPING YOUR ANGERS.
WE ALSO ASK, ESPECIALLY AS YOU OF THE MILITARY AND FAMILIES UNDER YOUR AS WELL.
ALSO FATHER FOR SAFETY, PRAY FOR SAFE TRAVELS.
WE PRAY FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO ON YOUR BEHALF LIFE, AS LONG AS WE DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
28 SAYS THAT THOSE THAT LOVE YOU AND THOSE THAT ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO YOUR WORK.
SO WE JUST CONTINUE US SO WE CAN ALWAYS BUILD A NEW THING OR A RELATIONSHIP.
CAN WE GET THE ROLL CALL, SIR? ROLL CALL.
COULD WE GET A MOTION TO, UH, EXCUSE MR. ELDER AND MR. UNDERWOOD MAKE A MOTION TO EXCUSE, SAY CANDIDATES.
THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO EXCUSE MR. ELDER UNDERWOOD.
DID EVERYBODY HAVE A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE MINUTES FROM LAST MONTH? I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
WE GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM LAST MONTH.
BEEN PROPERLY SECOND WITH ADVICE.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIED.
MOVE ON TO ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS.
I'M JUST WONDERING, UM, I GUESS I CAN BRING THIS UP FOR NEW BUSINESS, BUT, UM, AS FAR AS ANNOUNCEMENTS GOES, UM, THE AMERICAN LEGION EVERY YEAR HOLDS A, UM, A RISK ASSESSMENT SCREENING THE AMERICAN LEGION HERE IN HUB HEIGHTS.
SO WHEN IT'S FOR, FOR ALL THE 40 YEARS, 40 AND OVER, UM, IT HELPS YOU, UH, IT'S, IT'S NON-INVASIVE AND ANY TYPE OF CLOTHING TO TAKE THAT LONG FOR THE SCREENING.
SO NOT ONLY I WANTED TO BRING THAT TO EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION, UM, YOU KNOW, BUT ALSO AT THE SAME TIME I WAS THINKING ABOUT MAYBE WE COULD PARTNER WITH THEM AND HAVE SOMEWHERE FLYERS SOMEWHERE LIKE THAT.
BECAUSE THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT COME, THEY HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE COME LAST YEAR TO GET SCREENED.
MAYBE THAT MIGHT BE A PLACE WHERE WE CAN GO TO ANOTHER VETERANS ORGANIZATION TO, UH, JUST TO, UM, PUT THE FLYER PROGRAM, I MEAN, TO PUT THE BRICK PROGRAM OUT THERE.
AND THAT'S GONNA BE TAKING PLACE IN, UH, SEPTEMBER, SEPTEMBER 4TH, SO WE GET SOME TIME.
WHAT IS THIS? IT'S, IT'S A, IT IS A SCREENING RIGHT HERE.
IT IS, IT IS HELP YOU SCREEN FOR YOUR POSSIBLE RISK FOR STROKE ABDOMINAL, UM, OR, OR ANEURYSM AND OTHER VASCULAR DISEASES THAT THEY HAVE THERE.
AND THEY HAD HAD SUCCESS LAST TIME THEY DID IT.
SO THEY, THEY DECIDED TO DO IT AGAIN.
SO, AND I'M LIKE, GOT IN THE MAIL.
I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, LIKE, WELL, WE SHOULD GET, THAT'S SOMEWHERE ELSE WE CAN GO, THAT'S GONNA BE VETERANS THERE, AND PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THERE THAT THEY COULD SEE OUR BRICK PROGRAM.
SO, SO THERE'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
I DIDN'T, I MEAN, IT'S NOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT, I GUESS, BUT I DID WANNA BRING UP, UH, SO WE DID DO THE, UH, 4TH OF JULY PARADE, UH, WHICH WAS PRETTY COOL.
UH, GAVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO PASS OUT SOME OF THE FLYERS FOR THE PAVERS.
UM, AND I GUESS, MIKE, I WOULD ASK YOU IF WE, DID WE RECEIVE ANY INFORMATION OR ANY FEEDBACK FROM, UM,
[00:05:01]
THOSE PAVERS THAT WERE PASSED OUT? PASSED OUT? THERE YOU GO.DID YOU HEAR THE QUESTION, MIKE? UM, AS FAR AS THE PAPERS BEING, OR THE, THE, THE FLYERS BEING PASSED OUT, RIGHT.
UH, MY UNDERSTANDING IS, UM, TO WOOD, YOU KNOW, DID AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB CLASS AND PASSING 'EM OUT, UM, WORKED REAL HARD, UM, GETTING MANY OF THEM OUT.
UM, KUDOS TO HIM FOR GETTING SO MANY OF THOSE OUT AND, AND WORKING SO HARD UP AND DOWN THE PARADE ROUTE WITH GETTING THOSE OUT.
HAS THAT GAINED ANY TRACTION OR ANY? UM, I MEAN, I'VE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM PARTICULAR, UM, ANY INDIVIDUALS.
UM, AGAIN, IT, UM, TO KIND OF PROMOTE THIS, IF YOU REMEMBER THE EMAIL I SENT OUT TWO OR THREE WEEKS AGO, THE DEADLINE COMING UP FOR THE NEXT MM-HMM.
SO FOR THAT, UM, THE CITY HAS DECIDED TO PROVIDE TO EACH COMMISSION MEMBER, UM, TO KIND OF HELP PROMOTE THAT AND GET MORE BREAKS FROM THERE AND MAKE MORE, MORE A REALIZATION OF, OF WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT, WHAT THEY ARE.
SO FOR OUR NEXT PROGRAM, WHEN WE GIVE YOU VETERANS DAY, THEY'LL BE MORE, MORE RECOGNIZABLE, UM, AS FAR AS GETTING MORE THERE.
AND I WOULD HELP Y'ALL FILL THAT, FILL THAT INFORMATION OUT, AND GET IT BACK TO US.
SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO TALK TO.
WE MAKE SURE WE GIVE THEM A BIG THANK YOU FOR THAT.
SOMEHOW IN SOME WAY WE FIGURE IT OUT.
I KNOW THAT I SEEN WHERE THE, THE EMAIL WHERE MARCUS SAID SOMETHING ABOUT HAVING TWO SEPARATE, UH, OPENING AND CLOSING DATES.
I, I, I ADDED THAT IN THE EMAIL, I YOUR RESPONSE.
SO I, YOU KNOW, I WAS SAYING THAT LIKE RIGHT NOW, HOW MANY BRICKS DO WE SELL? ANY, WE GOT NO, HOW MANY WE SOLD TOTAL RIGHT NOW, I BELIEVE IS ABOUT, UM, WELL, FOR THIS, FOR THIS ANNUAL, WE, WE CHANGED, WE'VE CHANGED GUIDELINES.
SO YEAH, TO BRING YOU UP TO SPEED IS, IT WAS JUST AS, AS COME, YOU KNOW, WE DID IT, UM, AS AN INITIAL, LET'S SEE HOW MANY WE GET.
THE INITIAL RESPONSE WAS NOT WHAT WE WANTED IT TO.
SO NOW TO GA GARNER SOME MORE, UM, ENTHUSIASM AND MAYBE, UM, RECOGNITION TO IT, UM, THE CITY'S DECIDED THAT, WE'LL, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE VETERANS COMMISSION, EACH OF REVIEW WILL BE AVAILABLE TO HAVE A BREAK, UM, TO KIND OF PROMOTE THE, PROMOTE THE PROCESS EVEN MORE.
UM, WHICH I THINK IS A GREAT THING.
UM, SO MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE HAVE RECOGNIZED THAT, AND IT, IT'S DIFFERENT WAYS.
WE'VE TRIED TO GET 'EM OUT ALL DIFFERENT WAYS.
WE, YOU PASS THE FLOWERS OUT TO EVERY VETERAN'S ORGANIZATION, UM, VFW, AMERICAN LEGION, UM, YOU KNOW, THOSE ORGANIZATIONS, UM, WITHIN 'EM AT THE PARADE.
SO I DON'T, I DON'T THINK IT'S A, A PROBLEM OF THEM NOT RECOGNIZING THAT IT'S GETTING OUT THERE.
IT'S MAYBE JUST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT IT, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY GO THERE, THERE'S, THERE'S ONLY SO MANY OF THEM THERE RIGHT NOW.
SO THIS LAST ANNUAL PROCESS, WHEN, WHEN WE DECIDED TO, TO DO AN ANNUAL PROCESS FOR A LIMITATION, BECAUSE THE PROCESS BECOMES BASICALLY I HAVE TO, THE CITY HAS TO, YOU KNOW, YOU GET A BRICK, YOU GET THIS MANY, THIS MANY PARTICIPANTS INVOLVED, THAT IT TAKES SO MUCH TIME TO GET THEM ETCHED, THEN IT TAKES SO MUCH TIME FOR THEM TO, TO ARRANGE TO HAVE INSTALLED.
SO THAT'S WHY, THAT'S WHY WE DECIDED TO MAKE AN ANNUAL PROCESS.
I, I WAS PROPOSING FROM A MARKETING STANDPOINT, IF THOSE BRICKS, IF THE NEW BRICKS WILL BE IN PLACE ON VETERAN'S DAY.
THIS YEAR'S ANNUAL PROGRAM, WHICH THE DEADLINE IS JULY 31ST, IS NEXT WEDNESDAY.
THOSE BRICKS WILL BE IN PLACE BY THURSDAY.
SO THE MARKETING THING IS, WHAT IS IT GONNA BE? I'M NEW TO THE, I'M NEW THE, THE ORGANIZATION.
TELL ME, CUT ME OFF IF I'M REDUNDANT.
UM, SO YOU COVER 'EM UP AND YOU PLAN TO UNCOVER THEM.
SO PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE THAT BOUGHT BRICKS BRING THEIR FAMILIES.
'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA MARKET IT, AND THE NEWS IS GONNA SHOW IT.
AND YOU TRY TO PICK SOMEBODY OUT WHO BOUGHT A BRICK, SOMEBODY WHO, A A A VETERAN, MAYBE A WARTIME VETERAN, AND TELL A STORY.
SO JUST GO UP THERE AND SIT THERE AND GIVE A GOOD STORY ABOUT 'EM.
SO IT'S, AND YOU FOCUS CHANNEL 22, YOU GET THE GIRL THAT WAS THERE THAT LIKES US TO AIR THAT STORY.
AND THEN THE NEXT TIME PEOPLE START SEEING THAT THEY'RE GOING, WOW, THAT, THAT WAS GOOD FOR MY FAMILY MEMBER.
UH, JUST TRYING TO FIGURE A WAY TO, TO
[00:10:01]
GET SOME STEAM ON IT.AND THEN TRY TO DO THAT AGAIN FROM MEMORIAL DAY PERIOD ONE AND PERIOD TWO, HAVING ON BILLY ON THOSE TWO DAYS TO DRAW BIGGER CROWDS TO LOOK AT THE STONES AS THEY WERE PLACED.
SO MY QUESTION IS, ONCE WE, THE FLYERS THAT WE HAVE, UM, WE GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THOSE ARE, IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN GET SOMETHING THAT HAS A PICTURE ON IT? THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS SOMEBODY TOLD ME, LIKE, WELL, WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE? I'M LIKE, WELL, THEY'RE AT THE, AND I, I HAVEN'T HAVE A PICTURE OF MY PHONE.
I SAID, BUT THEY'RE ON THE, IF YOU GO TO THE MEMORIAL, YOU CAN SEE 'EM, BUT THEY'RE LIKE, BUT IF I COULD SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, I WOULD HAVE A BETTER IDEA.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IS IT LIKE A BRICK, BRICK? I'M LIKE, NO, THEY, THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GRAY IS, YOU KNOW, I'LL TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO 'EM AND I WAS LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE.
BUT THEY, I MEAN, I'LL SEE IF WELL, THERE BE TOO MUCH MONEY TO HAVE A PICTURE.
BUT I'LL ASK THE PERSON WHO THE, THE MEDIA.
CAN WE PUT IT ON THE, THE CITY WEBSITE? UH, UH, THE, THE WEBSITE FOR REFERENCE TO SHOW WE MAYBE POST A PICTURE OF WHAT, WHAT THEY'RE JUST DISPLAYING.
I JUST THINK THEY WOULD GET IT.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE, A VISUAL WOULD HELP THEM.
WHEN I TOOK A PICTURE OF ONE AT THE LAST EVENT, IF YOU NEED ONE.
YES, MIKE, I HAVE ONE AS WELL.
I PROMOTE, YEAH, I THINK IT'S THE SAME ONE.
WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL GIVE IT TO OUR COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER OKAY.
AND HAVE HER WHAT SHE CAN POST BEST, WHAT'S BEST YOU DON'T.
AND I KNOW, I KNOW I HANDED OUT, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE A HUNDRED TO 200 AT, UH, NASIC.
WE HAVE A CANTEEN AREA THAT HOUSES ANYWHERE FROM 200 TO 500 PEOPLE.
AND I JUST PUT ONE ON EVERY TABLE.
SO TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT THERE.
AND THEY HAVE A HUGE FOOTPRINT.
THEY'RE ON, THEY'RE PRACTICALLY HALF THE BASE.
SO, LIKE, WHAT I WAS DRAWN TO DO, MY STONE, LIKE WE, I DID THE ONE IN TIP CITY WOULD, I DID, I WANTED, I DO ONE FOR MY FATHER WHO'S A, WHO WAS A WAR II AND KOREAN VET.
SO HOW DID, THAT'S PROBABLY THE MARKETING I WOULD DO, IS WANT PEOPLE TO DO IT FOR THEIR, THEIR GRANDFATHERS, THEIR FATHERS.
THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, I DON'T, I DON'T, I'M NOT THAT, THAT SELF LIKE RACIST.
I DON'T WANT TO PUT A STONE THERE FOR ME.
YOU KNOW, I WANT, I WANT SOMEBODY TO BE RECOGNIZED THAT I'M GIVING MEMORIAL TOO.
SO THAT, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD MARKETING THING TO TRY TO SHOW THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY RECOGNIZING THEIR GRANDFATHER, THEIR FATHER WHO'S PASSED AWAY.
I'M MY FATHER THAT HAS SOME MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT SUBMITTING MINE TOO.
I MEAN, ON ONE HAND IS LIKE, I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I THINK IT'S AN HONOR THAT THE CITY OF YOUR HEIGHTS IS WILLING TO DO THAT.
I, MY QUESTION WOULD BE, UM, IS IT SOMETHING THAT WE JUST LOOK AT FOR, FOR VETERANS? OR IS IT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY GO DOWN THE ROUTE OF BUSINESSES BUYING A BRICK IN SUPPORT OF? WE, WE BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE, UH, VICE, I DON'T REMEMBER.
AND, AND WE DECIDED THAT WE WANTED IT BECAUSE IT'S A HU RIGHTS MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION THAT WE WERE GONNA KEEP IT JUST TWO VETERANS.
WE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE JOE'S MUFFLER SHOP ON THERE.
UM, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WE, WE, THAT WE DID.
UM, THERE'S SOMETHING, IF YOU WANNA BRING UP TO A VOTE AGAIN, THEN THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.
BUT THAT'S, WE HAD A VOTE ON IT.
WE DECIDED THAT, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THAT WE WEREN'T GONNA DO THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.
WE WEREN'T GONNA HAVE SALLY BEAUTY SHOP, OR, YOU KNOW, WE GONNA KEEP IT, YOU KNOW, STRICTLY TO VETERANS.
NOW I'M GONNA FOLLOW HIM FROM MY, MY MARKETING STANDPOINT.
JOE'S MUFFLER SHOP RECOGNIZES OUR VETERAN PROUD VETERANS.
I'M JUST SAYING, I I GET THAT.
OR IF THEY SPONSOR A PARTICULAR VETERAN YEAH.
BUT IF THEY, WELL, AND THEN WE'RE GETTING INTO, AGAIN, THERE, THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH VERBIAGE YOU CAN PUT ON ONE PAPER.
I MEAN, IT, IT'S, I DON'T WANT IT TO BE ADVERTISING FOR THE COMPANY.
I, I JUST THROWN IT OUT THERE.
I THINK, WELL, THE INITIAL IDEA FROM THE COMMISSION WHEN WE STARTED THIS WAS TO KEEP THE INTEGRITY OF THE PARTICULAR BATTERY.
YOU TRYING TO HONOR THAT? I, I WOULD, I MEAN, I WOULD DEFINITELY PERSON DECIDE, BUT I, I STILL BELIEVE IN THAT MYSELF.
I KNOW ONE THING WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS NOT THE BRICKS PER SE, BUT THE ACCOUTREMENTS OF THE PARK ITSELF.
IE JOE MUFFLER SHOP WANTS TO THANK ALL THE VETERANS OF HUBER HEIGHTS.
MARBLE BENCH, ROCK BENCH, WHATEVER.
MORE FITTING OF THOSE, UH, AGENCIES IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WANT THAT SUPPORT.
VETERANS WE'RE SAYING, HEY, YOU PAY, YOU KNOW, SILVER LEVEL, BRONZE LEVEL, SILVER LEVEL, PLATINUM LEVEL.
HEY, BEST BUY GAVE, GAVE 10 GRAND.
YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH ARE YOU GONNA LET THEM OUT? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, AND GET IT GOING LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW? AND THEY ALSO HAVE A
[00:15:01]
LOT OF ROOM DOWN THERE TOO.THE SIZE OF THE BRICK, THE BRICK ITSELF.
THERE'S A HECK OF A LOT OF ROOM THERE.
SO YOU'RE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET ONE OF THE BETTER, BETTER SPOTS DOWN THERE.
AND THEN YOU, AND SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA GO RIGHT DOWN THERE AND JUST STARE AT IT, AND IT HAS IN YOUR OWN BRAIN, YOU KNOW? OKAY.
WE WE'RE ABOUT, WHAT DID THEY SAY? WHERE DID IT GO? AND ACTUALLY, IF YOU GO DOWN THERE AND I'M GONNA HOLD EM RETIRE, I KIND TIME
IF YOU GO DOWN THERE AND, AND LOOK AT 'EM AND REALLY STUDY IT AND STUDY WHO YOU WANT TO HONOR, PUT ON THERE, IT'S, UH, YOU SPEND, YOU KNOW, 10 MINUTES AT LEAST JUST STANDING THERE AND, YOU KNOW, YOU ACT LIKE YOU DOESN'T CAN ACT LIKE YOU CRAZY ANYWAY, SO DOESN'T BOTHER ME.
BUT IT'S, IT'S VERY EMOTIONAL ALSO.
I, I DO HAVE, IT'S JUST ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ALWAYS RUN INTO IS PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT THE MEMORIAL'S THERE.
I, I TALK TO A LOT OF PEOPLE AND SAY, HEY, IF YOU GUYS COMING TO THE VETERANS, YOU KNOW, MEMORIAL OR MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE, AND THEY'RE LIKE, OH, WELL, WHERE'S IT GONNA BE AT CLOUT PARK? THERE'S A MEMORIAL.
AND I TELL 'EM ABOUT THE MEMORIAL, AND THEY'RE LIKE, THERE'S A MEMORIAL AT CLOUD PARK.
SO, I MEAN, I THINK IF WE DO MORE, UH, IN THE REALM OF JUST ADVERTISING THE MEMORIAL ITSELF, UH, THAT CAN DRAW ATTENTION TO THE BRICKS, UH, AS WELL.
ARE, ARE THE COUNCIL MEETINGS ON TV, THE LOCAL CABLE, LIKE WHEN THEY, THEY HAVE THEIR MEETINGS.
LIVESTREAM, LIVESTREAM, LOOK, ONE THING DURING A PLAN, GET ON THE AGENDA AND HAVE SOMEBODY SIT THERE AND BRING UP THE MOTION JUST TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THE COUNCIL.
SO YOU'RE ON TV AND YOU'RE ADVERTISING IT, AND MAYBE YOU COULD SIT THERE, JUST SAY, WE'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE THIS IS WELL KNOWN.
IS THAT A POSSIBILITY GETTING IN FRONT OF THE, THE COUNCIL? WHAT'S THE QUESTION AGAIN? LIKE, OKAY, SO THERE'S A COUNCIL MEETING AND I, THERE'S AN AGENDA AND THEY SAY, WELL, WE'VE, THE VETERANS COMMITTEE HAS COME HERE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE TO DISCUSS THE BRICKS.
AND THEN YOU'RE AT LEAST GOT A VISION WITH THE LOCAL CABLE TV AND PEOPLE ARE SEEING IT ON THERE.
THAT'S YOUR FREE ADVERTISEMENT RIGHT THERE.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS OR OUR NO.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE LIVE STREAMED.
SO THEN, YEAH, JUST GET ON THE AGENDA, STAND THERE AND BE READY AND HAVE YOUR, UM, MARKETING THING PUT TOGETHER FOR, UH, YOU KNOW, THE 10 OR 15 MINUTES WHERE YOU'RE ALLOWED.
WELL, WE, WE ALREADY DO THAT QUARTERLY.
WE GO AND DO A, UM, UPDATE TO THE COUNCIL.
AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, MIKE IS OUR LIAISON, KIND OF WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.
SO, UM, WE COULD, WE COULD, WE COULD, WE COULD GET OUR GOALS ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE THAT NEXT STEP, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
IT JUST NOW YOU'RE BEING, YOU'RE BEING, YOU'RE BEING PERSONAL SOLD TO ADVERTISE THE BRICKS WHEN YOU GET IN FRONT OF 'EM.
THE ONLY THING I WAS SAYING IS THE, UM, LIKE THIS MEETING RIGHT NOW IS BEING LIVE STREAMED.
OBVIOUSLY THE CITY COUNCIL ON MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO VIEW THAT.
SO I GIVE YOU THAT, RIGHT? YES, YES.
MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO VIEW THE CITY COUNCIL ONE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE CITY COUNCIL IS BEHIND AND SUPPORTING, YOU KNOW, THE PROGRAM AS WELL.
BUT I, I DO SEE WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM.
IT'S, IT IS NOT TO SAY THEY'RE NOT FORD.
YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO GET EYEBALLS ON IT.
AND MAYBE HAVE A CONTENTIOUS MEETING AND PICK THAT ONE WHERE THERE'S MORE PEOPLE WATCHING.
SO LIKE THE LAST UPDATE THAT WE DID, UH, WITH CITY COUNCIL, UH, ONE OF THE IDEAS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP WAS TO PUT LIKE AN INFORMATIONAL, UM, TICKET CARD, WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT, INTO, UH, THE WATER BILLS, WATERVILLE OR SOMETHING THEY WERE SAYING.
AND, UM, WE HAVE WENT TO, TO THEIR MEETINGS TO, TO ADVERTISE, UH, THE PAPER PROGRAM.
AND LIKE I SAID, THEY CAME UP WITH THAT IDEA.
UM, THAT IS SOMETHING WE COULD FOLLOW UP ON TO SEE IF, IF ANY OF THAT WENT THROUGH.
UH, OR IF WE CAN ASSIST WITH, WITH MAKING THAT HAPPEN.
BUT I HAVEN'T SAY IN MY MIND MINE EITHER.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I HAVE ONE QUESTION SOMEWHAT RELATED, UM, AND ONE I SHOULD PROBABLY KNOW, BUT AS THE MILITARY AND VETERANS COMMISSION, WE'RE ALSO RE ARE WE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE, THE VETERANS ALONG THE, THE STREET? WELL POLES WE'RE GOING FROM ONE THING TO ANOTHER THING, SO, WELL, THAT'S WHAT I SAID.
IT'S SOMEWHAT UNRELATED, BUT KIND OF THE SAME TOPIC.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, THAT MIKE WILL BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
[00:20:01]
AND THAT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, MEAN THAT WE CAN DISCUSS.I KNOW THIS IS LIKE, WE WANNA DO IT RIGHT NOW, BUT, UH, I KNOW IT'S, IT'S A PROCESS TO GET HIM UP THERE.
NO, I, I WAS JUST ASKING, ARE WE RESPONSIBLE? ANSWER, THE ANSWER IS NO.
WE ARE NOT BELONG TO THE CITY.
YOU, YOU, THE, THE VETERAN'S COMMISSION WOULD'VE A RECOMMENDATION OF, OF HOW THAT WOULD MOVE FORWARD OR NOT MOVE FORWARD AS WELL.
YOU THINK VETERAN RELATED WOULD'VE ANYTHING TO COME THROUGH THIS COMMISSION? THE RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL.
THE, THE MILITARY BANNER PROGRAM WASN'T DEVELOPED BEFORE.
UM, THE, THE, THIS COMMISSION, UM, THAT PROCESS HAS BEEN, UM, DEVELOPED.
UM, SO I, I GUESS I KNOW THERE'S A PROCESS YOU GOTTA GET WITH THE INDIVIDUALS WHO OWN THE POLES, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YES.
THERE, THERE'S, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
LIKE, IS EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, THINKS THAT SOMETIMES EVERY POLL IS AVAILABLE, BUT WE, THE CITY, IT'S A UTILITY.
THE CITY DOES NOT, WE, WE RENT THOSE FOR BOTH.
SO THERE'S A PROCESS WITH, WITH ALL THOSE.
SO EVERY POLE NOW THAT IS AVAILABLE IS, THERE'S SOME THAT ARE EMPTY.
YOU CAN SEE THAT AND YOU CAN SEE THE BRACKETS ON THEM.
SO, BUT MOST OF THEM ARE FULL.
I THINK THE PROGRAMS WENT WELL.
UM, AND YOU SAID THE PROCESS IS SUCCESSFUL.
SO WHAT ARE THEY DOING THAT WE'RE NOT REGARDING THE PAVERS? WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MEANS, PER SE SAY IT, IS THAT SUCCESSFUL? I MEAN, IT'S, YOU SEE A NUMBER OF EM OUT HERE, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE A, A LARGE NUMBER OF YOU DON'T HAVE ON EVERY STREET UP AND DOWN, ALL THE, YOU KNOW, MAIN AVENUES AND THINGS LIKE THAT NATURE.
SO EYEBALLS ARE, I THINK THAT THAT IS, THAT'S A PROGRAM THAT YOU SEE IN MOST CITIES THAT YOU GO TO.
AND PLUS YOU CAN SEE THAT EVERY, AND PLUS YOU CAN SEE THAT EVERY DAY.
THAT'S WHY IT'S VISIBLE ON OUR THOROUGH AFFAIRS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO YEAH, YOU'RE GONNA GET MORE PEOPLE TO SEE THAT AND MORE INTEREST IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO, WHICH I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
WELL, I THINK THAT'D BE, I THINK THAT'D BE PART OF THE REASON WHY THAT'D BE A LITTLE BIT MORE SUCCESSFUL.
'CAUSE SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN SEE IT, YOU KNOW, TO, TO KEVIN'S POINT A LITTLE BIT TOO, I WOULD SAY WHY SUCCESSFUL KEVIN'S POINT? IT'S MARKETABLE.
YOU SEE THE PICTURE OUT THERE.
IT COULD BE CONTENTIOUS OR NOT.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S, I'M NOT ANYBODY IS OR NOT.
OH, I, I'D LIKE TO PROPOSE SOMETHING.
JUST, I'LL GO AND TAKE A VIDEO OF MYSELF AND MY NEW BERT HEIGHTS T-SHIRT KNEELING DOWN NEXT TO MY FATHER'S BRICK UP IN MIAMI COUNTY VETERANS PARK.
JUST SAYING, HOW WILL RESPECT ME AND I'LL SEND IT TO YOU GUYS AND SAY, HOW DO WE GET THIS AROUND THERE? YOU KNOW, THIS, YOU KNOW, IT IS, IT'S, IT IS, I THINK THE BIGGEST THING IS PEOPLE WANT TO DO FOR THEIR, THEIR SONS UNCLES, THEIR LOST ONES.
THAT'S GONNA BE YOUR BIGGEST MARKER.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAID, IF YOU HAND ME ONE, I'M NOT GONNA PUT A PAVER OUT FOR ME.
I'M LOOKING TO MY OR THE, THE GUYS THAT HAVE SERVED BEFORE US.
AND THERE, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE A STORY OF, OF WHAT BRICK THEY'RE GOING TO BE DISPLAYING FOR THIS NEXT PROCESS ANNUALLY.
AND MAYBE WE TELL THAT AT THAT TIME.
I'D LIKE TO, I, I'D LIKE TO LIKE LISTEN TO JACKAL WILLIS GO AND HE, HE LAID BEHIND THE TANK AS THE BULLETS FLEW, YOU KNOW, AS YOU'RE GIVING THAT ORATOR, YOU KNOW.
IS THAT WE WE'RE GONNA GO, OKAY, WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO, UM, I GUESS WE DID, WE DID OLD BUSINESS NOW.
SO WE CAN MOVE ON TO OUR VETERANS DAY EVENT.
AND THEN, UM, I WANT TO, I'VE BEEN TOLD YOU GUYS, I WAS TRYING TO WORK ON A, UM, 120 90 DAY, 60 DAY, 30 DAY LIST FOR WHEN WE DO OUR EVENT.
SO, UM, I'LL SEND EVERYBODY, IT'S OUT TO EVERYBODY ON, ON COMPUTERS.
SO YOU CAN ADD TO IT OR SUBTRACT TO IT OR THINK, YOU KNOW, HEY, WE SHOULD PUT THIS HERE OR MOVE THIS HERE, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT HERE'S PAPER COPIES FOR EVERYBODY TO LOOK AT.
AND YOU, AS THEY SAY IN THE UNIVERSITY, YOU CAN DO YOUR PAPER CORRECTIONS,
MAKE SURE YOU PUT YOUR NAME NEXT TO SOME OF THESE.
SO, UM, SOME OF THE THINGS YOU'LL SEE THAT ARE REPEATED, WHICH OF COURSE, BECAUSE I THINK WE SHOULD DO MORE THAN ONCE.
TO BE ON, I KNOW IT MIGHT NOT, LIKE I SAID, THIS IS A ROUGH DRAFT.
SO, UM, IF ANYBODY HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS, IT'S SOMETHING I WANT YOU GUYS TO TAKE HOME.
WE DON'T SIT HERE AND SPEND TIME ON IT TONIGHT 'CAUSE WE'RE NOT GONNA BE VOTING ON IT RIGHT NOW ANYWAYS.
IT'S NOT OFFICIAL LETTERHEAD, NONE OF THAT TYPE OF STUFF.
THIS IS JUST A ROUGH, ROUGH, ROUGH COPY.
SO, BUT IF YOU LOOK OVER IT, UM, I STARTED THE 120 DAY PROCESS, UM, WITH SIMPLE THINGS.
[00:25:01]
OF ALL, WE ENSURE OUR TIME AND LOCATION IS CORRECT.WE SEEM TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT.
THAT'S, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S EASILY FIXED.
SO, UM, THE REQUEST OF THE PRESIDENT OF COLOR GUARDS DETERMINE WHO MC ENSURING TIME AND DATE ARE SET IN STONE.
YOU REMAIN CONTACT IMMEDIATE WITH THE CORRECT TIME AND LOCATION AND CONTACT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY CAME HERE LAST MONTH, THEY SAID THEY WOULD LIKE TO HELP US PROMOTE THINGS OF THIS NATURE.
SO THEN IT GOES ON TO THE 90 DAY THINGS.
I'M NOT GONNA SIT HERE AND READ OVER ALL THESE 'CAUSE YOU GUYS CAN READ AS WELL AS I CAN.
BUT, UH, THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS THAT I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE, UM, TAKE CARE OF AS FAR AS LIKE IF WE WANNA ORDER A PLAQUE OR A CERTIFICATE FOR THE PERSON THAT'S SPEAKING, WE SUGGESTED THAT DOING THAT CERTIFICATE, LIKE WE GET EVERY YEAR FOR VOLUNTEERING SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR THE CITY OF HUB HEIGHT.
SO I NEED TO FIND OUT WHO I WOULD CONTACT FOR THAT AND HOW MUCH IN ADVANCE THEY WOULD NEED NOTICE THEY WOULD NEED IN ORDER TO GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF FOR THE INDIVIDUAL.
THAT'S WHY I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE START THE PROCESS OF FINDING THE GUEST SPEAKERS AND THEN WE CONTACT 'EM ABOUT ORDERING THE PLAQUES.
AND AFTER THAT YOU'LL SEE WHERE WE, WHERE WE, WE, WE FINALIZE THE SPEAKERS AND WE GET WITH THEM TO GIVE THEM THE NAMES IN THEIR, IN THEIR OFFICIAL TITLE.
SO THAT WAY IT'S ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF.
SO THEN IT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 60 DAY AND THE 30 DAY.
SO, UM, LIKE I SAID, IF YOU GUYS CAN JUST GO OVER THESE IF YOU GUYS TIME, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND LIKE I SAID, I, I'LL GO AHEAD AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND PUT THESE ON THE, UM, ELECTRONICALLY SEND 'EM TO EVERYBODY.
IT SAYS EITHER FOR THEM TO CORRECT IT.
OKAY THEN DO YOU, DO YOU HAVE WOR AT LEAST I HAVE WORD THAT I CAN YEAH, I, I'M GONNA PUT IT IN A WORD DOCUMENT SO IT'S EITHER FOR EVERYBODY TO, TO CORRECT.
DO I HAVE THE VERSION THAT I CAN RED LINE IT AND THAT YEAH.
YOU LIKE THAT YOU SEND ME, HEY, YOU THINK ABOUT THIS OR YOU THINK ABOUT THAT.
SO I THINK IT LOOKS FANTASTIC.
I MEAN, THE ONLY THING I WOULD JUST SAY, AND I'LL PUT IT WHEN YOU SEND IT OUT, UHHUH, IS JUST PUT MOVE THE, UH, GUEST SPEAKERS AND THE FOLKS DOING THE INVOCATION BENEDICTION UP TO ONE 20 DAYS.
AND JUST KEEP IT IN 90 AS WELL, JUST SO WE CAN KEEP CONFIRMING THOSE AND MAKING SURE THERE'S NO BUMPS IN THE ROAD.
I JUST KNOW IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT LONGER SOMETIMES TO FIND PEOPLE OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, IN THE MEANTIME.
BUT YEAH, I'M GOING TO, UH, THAT'S WHY I PUT OUT THE 30, 90 DAYS.
WE CAN MOVE, WE DEFINITELY CAN MOVE THAT UP.
SO, UM, I HOPE EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT WE CAN SEE THAT'S TANGIBLE, SO WE AIN'T GOTTA ASK NO MORE.
WE AIN'T T WORRY ABOUT IT ANYMORE.
YOU KNOW, AT 90 DAYS THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN 90 DAYS.
WE'RE ALL MILITARY MEMBERS, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WE'RE ALL VETERANS AT 60 DAYS, THAT SHOULD BE DONE AT 60 DAYS.
SO THERE'S NO QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
SO, UM, I KNOW, UH, MR. CASE, I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE HAD SOME THINGS LIKE THIS, SOME EXPERIENCE WITH THINGS LIKE THIS.
AND SO IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO PUT IN THERE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
NOT ALONG WITH EVERYBODY ELSE, TOM, YOU KNOW, I MEAN EVERYBODY.
SO I'D LIKE TO HEAR EVERYBODY'S INPUT RATHER, IT'S JUST THAT RATHER IT IS, I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD.
LEAVE IT AS IT IS, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST THAT, JUST SOME TYPE OF INPUT.
UM, THE VETERAN'S DAY EVENT, WE'RE AT A HUNDRED, WHAT, 130 DAYS? 133 DAYS, SOMEWHERE AROUND THAT, THAT TIMEFRAME.
SO, UM, WE CAN START WITH OUR 120 DAYS
SO I, I WILL BRING UP, UH, TODAY ACTUALLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET IN CONTACT WITH THE DIRECTOR OF THE VA FOR DAYTON UHHUH.
UH, SHE IS INTERESTED IN BEING ONE OF OUR GUEST SPEAKERS, DR.
SO I WAS, I WAS ABLE, WE'VE BEEN MESSAGING BACK AND FORTH, SO, UM, MIXED MURDER, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO, YOU KNOW, YES.
SO I, I THINK SHE WILL BE GOOD FOR, FOR ONE OF THE, THE SPEAKERS.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE NEED TO GET INTO THE ROUTINE OF GETTING MULTIPLE PEOPLE PREPARED.
UH, JUST IN CASE, UH, SOMEONE GOES OUT ALSO HAS SOME, UH, VA REPRESENTATIVES THAT'S FROM THE BASE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN SPEAKING ON A, ON A DIFFERENT, UM, LEVEL.
SO I'LL STAY IN CONTACT WITH THEM.
UH, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY GUEST SPEAKERS WE WANNA BRING.
UH, BUT THOSE ARE TWO, UH, INDIVIDUALS THAT, UM, WE HAVE SO FAR.
SO, UM, AT THE SAME TIME, UM, ON HIS LIST IS REQUESTING THEIR PRESENCE OF THE COLOR GUARDS, HONOR GUARDS, ANY OF THE SPECIALTY GROUPS.
IT'D BE GOOD FOR THEM BE FOR US TO GET THEM AND THE 220 DAY MARK BEFORE EVERYBODY ELSE TRIES TO, YOU MEAN THEY GIVE 'EM MORE TIME.
AND WE CAN THROW OUR HAT IN THE RING A LOT EARLIER THAN, YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE.
SO WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT, UM, IF PEOPLE WANT TO HAVE THE, THE HONOR GUARD COME AGAIN FROM THE, FROM THE, THE FROM RIGHT STATE.
DO WE WANT TO, WE WANT TO SWITCH IT UP AND GO TO A DIFFERENT HONOR GUARD IF WE TRY SOMEBODY DIFFERENT, JUST SO WE GOT DIFFERENT FIELDS.
SEE WHAT'S, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S NICE TO HAVE DIFFERENT PEOPLE COME AND VERSUS WITH THEIR PRESENCE.
SO, UH, WE MIGHT SEE IF I CONTACT THE RIGHT PAT, SEE IF THEY HAVE A HONOR GUARD.
I MEAN, I KNOW MY FATHER'S MONEY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BUT I I'M JUST SAYING, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
YEAH, I KNOW THEY, THEY'RE PROBABLY DOING, THEY'RE PROBABLY TRAVELING, GOING SOMEWHERE OR DOING SOMETHING.
SO, BUT YOU KNOW, THE WORST THEY COULD SAY IS NO.
SO I DO KNOW AT THE LAST EVENT I, I REQUESTED, I MEAN, I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THE HONOR GUARD WOULD, THAT HONOR GUARD WOULD BE THERE AS WELL AS THAT GENTLEMAN'S
[00:30:01]
WIFE TO ALSO SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.I MEAN, THAT WAS AMAZING TO HAVE THAT ACTUALLY SUNG YES.
THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I DIDN'T KNOW.
THAT'S SOMETHING I DIDN'T PUT ON HERE.
THERE'S NOWHERE ON THERE WHERE PLAYING A, THE NATIONAL ANTHEM'S NOT ON HERE ANYWHERE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? LIKE, FIND SOMEBODY TO EITHER SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM OR SOMEBODY TO PLAY A NATIONAL ANTHEM.
THAT'S SOMETHING THEY NEED TO PUT IN ONE OF THESE SLOTS HERE.
YOU CAN PUT THAT UNDER SPECIALTY GROUPS OR SPECIALTY PERSONS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO MAYBE, YOU KNOW, GET THE HIGH SCHOOL, LIKE RECRUIT SOMEBODY FROM A HIGH SCHOOL TO SING.
I'M SURE THEY HAD SOME TALENT THERE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, KEEP IT, YOU KNOW, KEEP IT LOCAL.
UM, I, I'VE, SHE ON HONOR BAR.
AND THEN, UH, I, I THINK, AND, AND I COULD BE WRONG, BUT THE LAST TIME THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT VETERAN'S DAY, DID WE TALK ABOUT POSSIBLY MOVING TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION FOR VETERAN'S DAY? NO, WE, WE WANT, WE WANT TO, WE WANT TO HAVE IT WHERE WE'RE HAVING IT AT FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROMOTING THE PAYERS.
OUR PAVERS AND OUR MEMORIAL THAT WE HAVE THERE.
THAT'S, THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
WE WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT PEOPLE NOT KNOWING ABOUT IT AND NOT SEEING.
SO THE MORE THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE COME, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, YOU KNOW, BY WORD OF MOUTH, WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET, TO GET IT OUT.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, I MEAN, IF YOU GUYS, WE CAN ALWAYS VOTE ON SOMETHING.
LIKE I SAID, WE'RE A COMMISSION.
WE ALWAYS GONNA VOTE ON THINGS.
BUT BEING IN HUBER HEIGHTS, I FEEL AS THOUGH THAT IS THE PERFECT PLACE.
AND WE'RE IN HUBER HEIGHTS AND WE'RE PROMOTING OUR MEMORIAL THAT WE HAVE HERE FOR, FOR, FOR, FOR THAT.
THAT'S KNOW WE TOLD YOU THE TIME THAT'S POSSIBLE.
I KNOW WE DISCUSSED POSSIBLY CHANGING THE TIME, TIME THE TIME WAS UP, I THINK, YEAH, THAT'S ONE THING WE DID DISCUSS, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO, BUT I, I STILL, I I, I GET IT, BUT I STILL WOULD LIKE TO FINISH A YEAR OUT WITH THE TIME THAT WE HAVE.
WE, WE ALREADY ESTABLISHED IT AND WE CAN START WORKING ON CHANGING THAT FOR NEXT YEAR.
THAT'S SOMETHING, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THAT WE CAN WORK ON.
BUT I, BUT I CAN SIT IT AGAIN, WE'RE A COMMISSION AND SO MEAN ONCE TO BRING IT UP TO A VOTE.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE COMMISSION, THAT'S WHY EVERYBODY HAS A VOTE.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANNA THINK ABOUT.
THEN WE'RE AT 133 DAYS AND THAT'S 120 DAY ITEM.
WHAT DO WE, WHAT WHAT I THINK, I THINK THAT THE, THE, THE, THE LOCATION RIGHT NOW IS SET.
I THINK RIGHT NOW YOU AS A PERMISSION TO MAKE THE DECISION AT THE TIME IF THAT YEAH, I, I MEAN, YEAH, I WOULD BRING IT UP TO A VOTE TO CHANGE THE TIME.
I SECOND EVERYBODY PUT THEIR MICS ON, PLEASE.
I FORGOT EVERY REMIND EVERYBODY THAT PUT ON I GOT MINE ON.
SO, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN BRING UP.
I MEAN, IT IS, IT IS IS, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER TIME BESIDES FOR FOUR O'CLOCK, BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS WANNA DO? YOU GUYS WANNA DO IT EARLIER IN THE DAYTIME? I THINK THAT IF WE, I THINK 10 O'CLOCK OR 12 O'CLOCK WOULD BE THE BEST TIME TO DO IT.
O WHICH, WHICH, WHICH EVENT FOR VETERANS DAY.
GIVES YOU TIME TO GET YOUR LUNCH THEN.
AND THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF THE VETERANS ARE DOING ON THAT DAY.
SO I THINK 10 O'CLOCK, I I I, I LIKE THAT TIME.
THE ONLY THE REASON THAT I PUT DOING THEIR LUNCHES PLACES, SO.
THE ONLY REASON THAT I PUT 12 O'CLOCK IN THERE IS BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, SO COLD EARLY IN THE MORNING, WE DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, LAST YEAR WAS 61 DEGREES AND THEN THE VERY NEXT DAY IT WAS 38 DEGREES.
SO YEAR BEFORE THAT IT WAS COLD AND RAINING AND, AND SNOWY.
I I THINK THAT'S A, I MEAN, IT'S A TWO HOUR TIME DIFFERENCE.
SO I DON'T, TWO TO FOUR O'CLOCK OR 10 O'CLOCK TO FOUR O'CLOCK.
BUT, SO I MEAN, I, I WOULD PUT FOR THE, FOR THE VOTE TO BE TO, UH, SO IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE WANNA VOTE ON TODAY? I THINK IT IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO VOTE ON TODAY.
I, I THINK WE JUST PUT IT IN THE, WE JUST PUT, I THINK IT SHOULD GO TO THE NEXT VOTE, NEXT MEETING.
I THINK WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT.
I DON'T THINK WE CAN MAKE A DECISION BETWEEN 10 AND ONE.
I WAS ABOUT TO ASK A QUESTION.
AND THE QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE, ARE WE TALKING ABOUT 2024? THAT'S WHAT I'M S DAY OR 2025? NO, HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS, THIS VETERAN'S DAY HERE.
MY, MY, MY, MY THING IS I'D RATHER, I'D RATHER GO, I'D RATHER FINISH THE YEAR WITH THE TIMES THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, MAY ESTABLISHED.
BUT LIKE I SAID BEFORE, WE'RE COMMISSIONED IF YOU GUYS FEEL AS THOUGH IT WOULD BE MORE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR US TO HAVE A DIFFERENT TIME SLOT THAN THEN, SO BE IT.
WELL, WE JUST, WHATEVER WE DO, WE JUST, WELL, YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT JUST MAKING SURE THERE BEING A TIME DISCREPANCY.
NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CHANGING THAT.
WHATEVER WE DO, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE RIGHT PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT INFORMATION.
SO BEFORE, LIKE THEY'RE SAYING, LIKE, MIKE IS KIND OF SAYING,
[00:35:01]
AND UM, MARCUS, SOMEONE COULD MAKE A MOTION AND SOMEBODY COULD SECOND THAT MOTION AND WE COULD VOTE TODAY AS FAR AS AT THIS TIME.SO WHOEVER MAKE THE MOTION, THEY COULD IDENTIFY THOSE TIMES.
DO WE WANT TO HAVE IT AT 12 OR DO WE WANT TO HAVE IT AT FOUR? AND THEN WE COULD VOTE IF WE HAVE ENOUGH TO VOTE AND ALL OF THAT.
WELL, ALL YOU GUYS WITH THOSE FANCY WATCHES.
BUT WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IS THAT? IT'S ON A MONDAY.
AND NOW EVERYBODY'S OFF ON VETERAN'S DAY.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THEY GOTTA SAY SCHOOLS TOO.
UM, SOME SCHOOLS AREN'T OFF ON VETERANS DAY ANYMORE.
THEY ARE NOT OFF, THEY'RE NOT OFF, THEY'RE OFF ON VETERANS DAY.
SO, AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT, AND THAT WAS ANOTHER ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE HAD IT LATER ON IN THE DAY LIKE THAT.
AND SO EVERYBODY CAN'T ATTEND IT.
AND THAT ALSO NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE LOOK AT AS CHANGING IT THE DATE TOO.
I MEAN, 'CAUSE IF WE'RE DOING IT ON A MONDAY AND PEOPLE AREN'T OFF, THE SCHOOLS ARE STILL IN SESSION AND WE'RE DOING IT AT FOUR O'CLOCK.
I MEAN, I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE PROBABLY SHOULD LOOK AT IT PUSHING BACK TO, TO THAT WEEKEND OR THE WEEKEND PRIOR.
SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MOVING THE WHOLE THAT WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF I WANNA MOVE IT AWAY FROM VETERANS DAY PER SE.
I, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CELEBRATING.
I MEAN, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS YOU'D RATHER MOVE IT TO THE WEEKEND.
YOU'D RATHER MOVE IT TO THE WEEKEND BEFORE VETERANS DAY MOVING THE GOALPOST.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THAT'S, I'M SAYING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TIME.
WE TALKING, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR NEXT YEAR.
BUT I DON'T WANNA MOVE THE DAY.
I GUESS MY NEXT QUESTION HAS ANY, HAVE WE OR HAS ANYBODY BEEN PART OF A VETERAN'S DAY MEMORIAL THAT HAS LANDED ON A WEEK? SOMETIMES IT LANDS ON A WEEKDAY.
WELL, I'M SAYING, HAVE WE DONE A MEMORIAL, UH, SERVICE THAT HAS LANDED ON A WEEK? YEAH.
DID WE DO A MEMORIAL DAY? LANDED ON ONE TIME? DEPEND MEMORIAL DAY'S.
WELL, THE VETERANS DAY, BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE NOT BEING, NOT BEING OFF SCHOOL, STILL BEING IN, IN SESSION AND ALL OF THAT.
I'M SAYING, HAVE WE HAD A VETERAN'S DAY ON A SATURDAY, IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? NO, ON A, ON A WEEKDAY.
WE JUST ALWAYS HAD IT AT LATER IN THE AFTERNOON.
WE NEVER HAD IT DURING THE, DURING THE DAY BECAUSE OF NUMBER ONE, SOME OF OUR COMMISSION MEMBERS WERE MEMBERS OF VIETNAM, VETERANS OF AMERICA.
AND THEY HAD, UH, AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH ATTENDANCE.
THEY'RE ALWAYS, THERE'S WAS ALWAYS AT 12 O'CLOCK.
SO THEY WOULD, THE YOUNG MARINE MIND VALLEY YOUNG MARINES WERE THERE AND SOMETIMES WAYNE WAS THERE.
SO, AND THAT WAS, WE DIDN'T WANT TO TRY TO COMPETE AGAINST THEIR EVENT.
BUT NOW, 10, 10 O'CLOCK, THAT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
WELL, I, I GUESS I'M 10 AND FOUR.
BUT TO, TO TRY TO SAVE A WHOLE NOTHER DAY IN THE WEEKEND.
I THINK THAT WE NEED TO TABLE THAT.
WELL, I MEAN, I WAS JUST ASKING FOR THE QUESTION OF HOW WAS THE TURNOUT, IF, YOU KNOW, THE VETERAN'S DAY MEMORIAL WAS HELD ON A WEEKDAY COMPARED TO A WEEKEND ABOUT YEAH.
I'M THINKING MYSELF WOULD SAY IT'S ABOUT THE SAME.
THEN THE WEATHER PLAY A PART TOO.
SO YOU HAVE BUT DAY'S, 90 DEGREES.
70 DEGREES, AND THEN WHEN SNOW.
SO IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, KEEPS ON, UM, A YEAR BEFORE THE MEMORIAL WAS INITIATED AS FAR AS BEING BUILT.
I THINK THAT YEAR IT WAS A SATURDAY.
BUT THE MEMORIAL MEMORIAL WASN'T THERE.
WE JUST HAD THE, WE JUST HAD TOMMY, REMEMBER, LIKE, WE JUST HAD THE FLAGS THERE.
PEOPLE JUST, YOU KNOW, AND IT WAS WELL ATTENDED AT THAT TIME.
AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, GETTING THESE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS AND, AND, AND, BUT THAT WAS ON A SATURDAY.
BUT ALL I'M SAYING IS I DON'T, VETERAN'S DAY TO ME IS VETERANS DAY.
THAT'S, I MEAN, THAT'S MY DAY.
THAT'S MY, THAT'S, THAT'S A VETERAN'S DAY.
YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S ALL OF OUR DAYS.
THAT'S JUST HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT.
DOES THE CITY WORK ON VETERAN'S DAY? IS THAT NOT NO, THAT'S ALL.
SO, I MEAN, SO I GUESS IF WE'RE AT, AT THIS POINT, WE'RE AT NOW, I MEAN, IF WE'RE GONNA DECIDE TO VOTE ON IT, WE NEED TO DO IT.
WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO 120 DAYS.
YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE IT.
I JUST, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, I JUST, I WANTED TO FINISH THE YEAR OUT WHERE WE WERE AT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BUT I, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, WE'RE A COMMISSION AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
SO WE WANT TO BRING UP A MOTION AND SECOND IT, AND WE CAN VOTE ON IT.
I MEAN, THAT'S, IF IT PASSES THAT, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.
WELL, I KNOW DURING MEMORIAL DAY, WE DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE IT, BUT WE TABLED IT TO A POSSIBILITY FOR VETERAN'S DAY, WHICH WE'RE COMING UP ON FOR THIS YEAR.
SO WE DID TABLE IT TO POSSIBLY DISCUSS A TIME CHANGE
[00:40:01]
FOR 2024 MEMORIAL DAY.BUT YEAH, WITH IT, WITH IT LANDING ON A, ON A WEEKDAY, I MEAN, I THINK THAT US KEEPING IT AT FOUR O'CLOCK WILL PROBABLY BE BEST.
I JUST THINK WE SHOULD FINISH OUT THE YEAR AT FOUR O'CLOCK.
AND THEN WE CAN, FROM HERE, WE CAN DISCUSS ALL THE WAY, WE CAN START WORKING, START AT 120 DAYS AGAIN FOR NEXT TIME.
I MEAN, HEY, WHAT YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT US CHANGING IT MEMORIAL DAY ESPECIALLY.
WELL, AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT HE WAS SAYING.
SO WE HAD TALKED ABOUT CHANGING IT FOR VETERANS DAY THIS YEAR, BACK WHEN WE WERE PLANNING FOR MEMORIAL DAY DAY.
SO, OKAY, GUESS, BUT LIKE I SAID, WITH IT BEING ON A, ON A WEEKDAY, YES.
I THINK IT WILL PROBABLY BE BEST JUST TO KEEP IT IN THE AFTERNOON RATHER THAN OKAY.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO VOTE ON.
'CAUSE IT'S ALREADY, IT'S ALREADY IN THE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING WE ALREADY HAVE.
WE ALREADY HAVE A FOUR O'CLOCK TIME.
SO, UM, I DON'T THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE VOTED ON.
SO WE'RE ALREADY, AND WE'RE SURE WE HAVE A FOUR O'CLOCK TIME.
NO, WE ESTABLISHED, WE, WE ESTABLISHED THAT.
SO IT, I MEAN, SO THAT'S, UNLESS SOMEBODY WANTS TO BRING UP A LATER TIME THAN THAT, I THINK, YOU KNOW, THAT'S IT.
NO, I MEAN, I MEAN, IT'S ADVERTISED AS FOUR O' 1600.
FOUR 6,000 HOURS EASTERN TIME ADVERTISED.
WE HAVEN'T, WE HAVEN'T SENT IT OUT TO THEM YET.
WE'RE GONNA SEND THEM OUT TO THEM AND LET YOU KNOW.
IT'S GONNA BE ADVERTISED IS FOUR.
YOU SEE SIX O'CLOCK I SEE THE SIX ON THERE KNOW WHERE TO GO.
THAT I SEE THE, I SEE THE SIX ON THERE.
WHAT TIME YOU TALKING ABOUT? WHICH MEANS TIME? YOU WHAT I'M SAYING? SO ON THAT, I, I JUST WANT TO FOUR O'CLOCK.
WHO IS GOING TO BE REACHING OUT TO WHO TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT INFORMATION IS, WE HAVE TO GET, WE GOTTA CONTACTED.
SO, WELL, FIRST OF ALL, LET'S CONTACT YOU HERE BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
I CAN DO THAT TO LET THEM KNOW THE TIME AND DATE.
I'LL TAKE THAT ON AS FAR AS REQUESTING A PRESIDENT OF COLOR GUARDS OR HONOR GUARD SPECIALIST GROUPS.
HE'S GONNA, SEAN'S GONNA TRY TO GET AHOLD OF SOMEBODY TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANYBODY ELSE.
ANYBODY ELSE BE WILLING TO TRY TO FIND A, A HONOR GUARD OR, YOU KNOW, IF WE WANT THE YOUNG MARINES, THAT'S SOMETHING WE, WE, WE ALREADY HAVE.
I, I'LL TRY TO FIND THE HONOR GUARD AND, AND THE YOUNG MARINES.
ARE YOU ABLE TO GET BOTH OF THEM? I TALKED TO YOU.
BY THE TIME WE HAD NEXT MEETING, WE'LL BE UNDER IT
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.
UH, MY CHAIR IS CONTACTING THE MEDIA.
AND THEN, SO THAT'S IT FOR, AND THEN WHO'S THE MC THAT VOLUNTEERS
AND YOU KNOW WHO THE MC IS? WANTS TO BE.
SO DOES ANYBODY WANT VOLUNTEER TO BE MC BEFORE WE STARTED I ALREADY DID.
YOU ALREADY OH, FOR THIS? YEAH.
SO ONE 20 DAYS IS ALL TAKEN CARE OF.
WELL, I JUST BRING UP ONE THING.
IF I MAY CAN ADD, IF I MAY, AGAIN, WHEN I WAS TALKING TO THE CAPTAIN, AND I'M APOLOGIES, I DON'T REMEMBER HIS LAST NAME, BUT WITH THE HONOR GUARD AND I'VE HAD EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE WITH HIM, I THINK THEY MAY BE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY'RE GOING TO, UH, BE REQUESTED TO DO IT THIS FEDERAL STATE.
AND, AND WHO'S THIS FOR? WITH HONOR GUARD.
IS THIS THE SAME STATE FOR STATE, RIGHT.
STATE AGAIN, WHO WE HAVE FOR MEMORIAL DAY? WELL, I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I DON'T THINK THEY DID A BAD JOB.
I THINK THEY DID AN AWESOME JOB.
WELL, I MEAN, WELL, THEY DIDN'T PROVIDE A, AN HONOR GUARD.
THEY PROVIDED A YES, BUT THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE ONE.
BUT THEY DIDN'T DO THE HONOR GUARD.
BUT SO IN ALL ACTUALITY, THEN THERE WOULD BE SOMEBODY DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T BRING THE HONOR GUARD WITH THEM LAST TIME.
AND WE'VE ALREADY HAD, WE ALREADY HAVE COMMUNICATION WITH 'EM.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE KNOW THAT, THAT WE CAN, WE ALREADY GOT A, A WAY IN, I WOULD THINK THAT'D BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LOOK INTO.
I THINK THAT'D BE SOMETHING POSITIVE TO LOOK INTO.
BECAUSE I THINK THE HONOR GUARD CAME OUTTA WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL.
THE ONE, YEAH, WE DID HAVE THE, YEAH, WE HAD THE HONOR GUARD FROM WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL.
BUT IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE HONOR GUARD FROM ACTUALLY FROM WRIGHT STATE.
SO, BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING YOU, WE MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN.
YOU WANNA GET IN CONTACT WITH HIM WHILE HE GETS IN CONTACT WITH AND SEE IF THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, WE CAN ALWAYS FIND, WE CAN ALWAYS GET, YOU KNOW, WE CAN ALWAYS ASK MORE THAN ONE PERSON.
IF NOT, YOU KNOW, JUST, JUST BE SAFE ON THE SAFE SIDE.
[00:45:01]
GET ONE PERSON AND SAY NO.THEN WE'RE STUCK BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GO TALK TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
AND, AND IF, IF THEY COMMIT, THEN WHAT? THEN WE AIN'T GONNA, WE'RE GOOD THEN.
OKAY, SO WHO'S YOUR CONTACT FOR HONOR GUARD? THE, UH, IT WAS A YOUNG LADY THAT SHE HEADS THE HONOR GUARD HIGH SCHOOL WAYNE.
SO THAT'S THE, THE WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL? CORRECT.
SO, AND THE HONOR GUARD YOU, YOU YOU'RE CONTACTING WITH WAS THE ONE THAT DID MEMORIAL DAY CAPTAIN.
SO LET'S NOT ALL INVITE THE SAME GIRL TO THE PROM.
AND YOU TWO BE IN CONTACTED WITH EACH OTHER.
'CAUSE YOU GOT THIS CONTACT, YOU GOT THAT CONTACT, CONTACT.
AND THEN, THEN, YOU KNOW, WE ALL TAKE THE SAME ALL.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YES, SIR.
IF I MAY, AND THIS HAS COME UP MANY TIMES, THE WREATH, ARE WE DOING A WREATH OR NOT FOR VETERAN'S DAY? NEVER.
I DON'T, I DON'T, WE HAVE BEFORE.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE WOULD NOT, IT'S JUST, IT'S BEEN JUST SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN DONE.
AND IF THAT'S A REQUEST BY THE COMMISSION TO NOT DO, I'M ONE, YOU KNOW, LIKE I PERSONALLY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD.
WE ALREADY, I THOUGHT WE VOTED ON THIS.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE EVER VOTED ON IT.
I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A READ FOR VETERAN'S DAY.
SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO, UM, DISCONTINUE TO READ FOR VETERAN'S DAY ON OUR CEREMONY.
IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE MOTION BEFORE WE START? I'M, I'M, I'M A LITTLE TORN.
I JUST THINK IT'S, I LIKE, I LIKE IT.
I THINK IT'S, AT LEAST IT'S A, I HATE TO SAY IT'S A FILLER.
HEY, YOU, YOU, YOU HAVE SOME WALKING AND SOME TIME AND SOME EMOTION.
AND THAT, THAT, THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.
I THINK IT, UH, I THINK IT, IT'S THE NATIONALLY HISTORIC THING TO DO.
I JUST FEEL IT TAKES AWAY FROM MEMORIAL DAY.
WE'RE DOING THE SAME CEREMONY FOR THOSE WHO SACRIFICED THEIR LIFE AS THOSE WHO ARE EATING AT LOCAL RESTAURANTS.
THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
SO WE GOTTA, FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE MOTION, LET ME KNOW.
THEN WE CAN VOTE ON THE MOTION.
IS THAT CORRECT? SO IS THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON THE MOTION? SO, BUT IN THE FORM OF QUESTION, IT'S JEOPARDY.
THE QUESTION WOULD BE, ARE WE GETTING RID OF THE REEF AND REPLACING IT WITH SOMETHING ELSE, UM, TO TAKE THAT PLACE? OR ARE WE GETTING RID OF THE REEF IN TOTAL AND JUST LEAVING IT AS, AS IS.
SO I GUESS THAT THAT WOULD BE THE QUESTION.
SO IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU, THAT YOU WANNA VOTE ON NOW OR SOMETHING YOU WANNA DISCUSS? IT HAVE TO BE THE MOTION.
YOU GOT WHAT I MEAN, CHANGE THE MOTION.
GOTTA CHANGE OF MOTION TO THAT.
YEAH, THAT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE, I MEAN, SO NOW, SO NOW WE COME TO THE POINT TO WHERE YOU GOTTA VOTE NO MOTION.
YOU GOT, YOU GOTTA, YOU WHAT I MEAN.
BUT I HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR RIGHT NOW, SO I I YOU DON'T, THERE'S NOTHING TO CHANGE IT TOO.
YOU'RE JUST, IT'S, THERE'S, IT'S LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE AN IDEA.
SO WE, IT'S, SO THE MOTION IS JUST THE MOTION RIGHT NOW ON THE FLOOR IS DO WE WANNA DISCONTINUE THE, THE, THE, THE RELAYING CEREMONY FOR THIS, UM, UM, VETERAN'S DAY, VETERAN'S DAY, UH, UM, UM, CEREMONY.
SO, UM, IF THERE'S NO MORE QUESTIONS ON THE MOTION, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD VOTE ON THE MOTION.
SO ALL OF IN FAVOR GETTING RID OF THE WREATH FOR, FOR VETERANS DAY.
UM, THIS VETERANS DAY, UM, YOU CAN VOTE BY THE USUAL, SAY AYE.
ALL THE NAYS GOT THE SAME, RIGHT? THOSE WHO, THOSE WHO WANNA KEEP IT.
SO WE GOT, SO THAT'S, SO IT'S NAYS, NAYS, NAYS.
I VOTE DENNIS GONNA BE A LOCK BLOCK UP.
SO, SO YOU, SO YOU WANNA HAVE A SPLIT VOTE THEN? SO WE GOT WAIT, WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE.
SO, SO, SO AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE MOTION, I GOT TWO, I GOT, I GOT TWO A AND I GOT THREE NAYS MOTION.
SO NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT COMING UP WITH IDEAS THAT IF WE WANT TO GET RID OF THE REEF CEREMONY, WHAT ARE WE GONNA REPLACE IT WITH THEN? I THINK WE HAVE THAT.
THEN WE, A VOTE WOULD GO A LOT BETTER.
[00:50:01]
MEMORIAL DAY, WELL POST MEMORIAL DAY TO HAVE THE, UH, FLAG FOLDING IN PLACE OF THE REEF.SO LET'S IN PLACE OF THE REEF.
SO LET'S, SO LET'S DO THIS FOR SAKE OF TIME.
THEN IF YOU WANT TO REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING I HAVE, NOBODY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
BUT LET'S, LET'S, IF WE, I MEAN INSTEAD OF JUST GETTING RID OF IT, IF WE WANNA REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING, I THINK IT WOULD BE MORE FAVORABLE THAN JUST GETTING RID OF IT AND NOT HAVING ANYTHING IN THERE IN THAT SPACE.
DOES THAT SOUND, DOES THAT SOUND REASONABLE? ABSOLUTE PERCENT.
SO, SO CAN WE, SO WE, CAN WE DO THAT? CAN WE, THIS DISCUSSION THAT WE'RE HAVING, CAN WE DO THIS NEXT MEETING? CAN WE TABLE THIS AND THEN NEXT MEETING BRING IT UP AND EVERYBODY HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT THEY, IF THEY DO WANT, IF THEY DO BELIEVE WE SHOULD GET RID OF THE RE THEN BRING UP, BRING SOMETHING THAT, THAT SAYS, NO, HEY, THIS IS WHAT I THINK WE SHOULD DO IN PLACE OF THE, THE L CEREMONY.
AND, AND KEEP IN MIND WE DO FOLD THE FLAG ON MEMORIAL DAY TOO.
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT MEMORIAL DAY, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VETERANS.
WE'RE SEEING HE BROUGHT THAT UP BECAUSE HE BROUGHT UP YEAH.
HE TOOK A LITTLE, LITTLE SHOT.
MR. LIAISON
DON'T GO BACK TO MEMORIAL DAY.
THAT BEING SAID TOO IS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A DIFFERENT ORGANIZATION OF VETERAN CHURCH.
THEY MAY DO, THEY MAY WANT TO COME TO AND DO EVERY, OR DO SOMETHING ON THAT.
THERE, THERE'S, THERE'S BEEN TWO OR THREE RES THERE BEFORE FOR VETERANS OR MEMORIAL.
BUT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, WHAT WE'RE PLANNING TO DO, THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO DISCUSS RIGHT NOW.
SO THESE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU, I MEAN, WHEN THEY SHOW UP AND SAY, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW THIS, THIS ORGANIZATION, YOU'VE SEEN IT BEFORE.
YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY, THEY COME IN AND SAY, HEY, WE'D LIKE TO LAY A REEF TODAY BECAUSE FOR BETTER'S DAY, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN TELL THEM.
YOU KNOW, SO, BUT WHAT WE'RE PLANNING FOR, WE'RE PLANNING RIGHT NOW IS THIS, IS IT.
'CAUSE I MEAN, I, I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN DOWN THERE AND MY PEOPLE AND MY STAFF HAVE CLEANED UP TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT RES MM.
YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE FOLLOWING TWO OR THREE AFTER THE WEEKEND OF THIS HOLIDAY.
SO WHAT I'M SAYING WITH THAT IS LET'S CONCENTRATE ON JUST MEMORIAL DAY, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO AND SUCH.
BACK TO ANTHONY'S POINT OF IF WE'RE NOT DOING THE WREATH, WE'RE NOT DECIDING TO DO THE WREATH, THEN WE NEED TO, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY DISCUSS SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WITH.
I THINK WE CAN ALSO, WE'VE DONE THE WREATH, BUT I THINK WE CAN ALSO LOOK IT UP.
WHAT ARE OTHER CITY'S DOING? I MEAN, DO THEY DO A WREATH CEREMONY AT, ON VETERAN'S DAY AS WELL? IF THEY DO, THEN IT MAKES SENSE FOR US TO CONTINUE WITH THAT TRADITION.
UM, AS FAR AS, UM, NEW BUSINESS GOES, SEE ANYTHING FOR NEW BUSINESS, DO WANNA SAY ONE LAST THING ABOUT VETERANS DAY? HAS ANYBODY STEPPED UP TO BE THE PERSON TO FIND A PASSING FOR VETERANS DAY? NO, THAT'S AT, THAT'S AT, THAT'S AT, THAT'S AT OUR 90 DAY MARK.
BUT IF YOU WANT SOMEBODY WANTS TO DO THAT AHEAD OF TIME, THAT WE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH DOING THAT.
I MEAN, I CAN DO IT UNLESS YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY IN MIND OR SOMETHING.
OH, I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHY YOU WAS BRINGING IT UP.
NO, THAT'S, I I THINK YOU DO AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB EVERY, EVERY MEETING, SO, YEAH.
SO, UM, THE PARTICIPATION FOR NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, I SEEN THE EMAIL.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW, I BRING ANY INFORMATION ABOUT IT.
BUT BASICALLY IT'S A NATIONAL LINE OUT TO RECOGNIZE, UM, POLICE, FIRE SERVICES AND PUBLIC SERVICES THROUGHOUT, UM, THE UNITED STATES.
UM, THEY INVITED US TO, UM, UM, HAVE A, A BOOTH THERE SET UP, I THINK.
KEVIN, YOU VOLUNTEERED TO COME? YES, I AM.
I'M THERE TO SUBMIT AND, AND PASS OUT FLYER.
GET ANY, GIVE ANY OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMMISSION? CORRECT.
SO WE, WE, I THINK WE'VE GOT THAT COVERED.
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD THAT WHAT DAY, WHAT DAY IS THIS? AUGUST 6TH? YEAH, SIXTH TO EIGHTH.
YEAH, IT'S AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
I, I DID GET YOU ALL THAT INFORMATION, RIGHT, KEVIN? YES.
AND IF ANYBODY'S EVER BEEN TO IT BEFORE, IT'S UH, IT'S, IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? HAVE EVERYBODY ALL TOGETHER.
IT'S HEAVILY, IT'S HEAVILY ATTENDED.
YOU'LL SEE LITTLE GROUPS THERE, KIDS, DIFFERENT KIDS GROUPS AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE GROUPS.
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT COME AND SHOW UP FOR THAT.
SO IT'S, AND IF ANYBODY HAS ANY INFORMATION YOU THINK TO GET OUT ABOUT THE COMMISSION DURING THAT TIME AS WELL? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IF SOMETHING NEEDS TO PUT OUT BEFORE THEN LET'S, LET'S GET IT GOING RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THAT WAY WE'LL KNOW AND I CAN GET IT GOING.
UH, I WOULD SAY PROBABLY THE ONLY THING WOULD BE MAYBE CREATING LIKE A FLYER FOR VETERAN DAY HAND OUT THERE AT
[00:55:01]
THE SAME TIME.YOU SAID NOTHING ELSE ABOUT THAT.
ARE YOU DOING, ARE YOU DOING THE FLYER OR YOU GONNA GET SOMEBODY TO DO IT? I WILL, I WILL, I WILL.
YOU GUYS, IF YOU, IF YOU WOULD, IF YOU ALL SEND ME SOME IDEAS THAT YOU HAVE, WHAT YOU WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, KIND STATE SAY.
I WOULD, I WOULD JUST CREATE LIKE THE TIMELINE OF NOW WE DECIDED ON THE EXACT DATE AND TIME, PUT THAT OUT AND, AND ON THE FLYER AND THE LOGO THAT YES.
I'LL KIND OF PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER AND GET YOUR, SEND IT UP, YOU KNOW, NEXT WEEK WITH YOUR APPROVAL.
HOPEFUL WE GET PRINTED UP REAL QUICK.
WANT AMERICA A FLAG ON THERE SOMEWHERE? ONE LAST I LIKE OUR LOGO.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU'RE RIGHT.
ONE LAST QUESTION FOR VETERANS DAY.
IT, IT, UH, FOUR O'CLOCK? YES.
EVERYBODY KNOWS REHEARSAL, PRE-DRILL, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
SO I'M GONNA TALK TO MY PEOPLE.
TOM, YOU'RE GONNA TALK TO YOUR PEOPLE AND THEN YOU AND ME ARE GONNA TALK.
RIGHT? YOU GUYS GET TOGETHER? YES.
MR. CASE SAW YOU MIND GETTING US OUT HERE WITH THE BENEDICTION.
YOU GUYS STAND, PLEASE COVER IF YOU'RE COVERED ABOUT EVERY TALKING ABOUT RIGHT OUTSIDE THAT DOOR RIGHT THERE.
UNCOVER, WHY DON'T WE COME BEFORE YOU TO SAY THANK YOU? THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO HASH OUT AND GET THIS INFORMATION TOGETHER TO HONOR YOUR SOLDIERS, YOUR MARINES, YOUR AIRMEN, YOUR COSTAR, YOUR NAVY, YOUR SEAMEN.
FATHER, WE THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR THESE ALL THAT HAVE PASSED BEFORE US AND THOSE THAT ARE STILL SERVING.
SO THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO GET THESE THINGS TOGETHER.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE MINDS COMING TOGETHER TO ACCOMPLISH THESE TASKS.
WE ASK THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO ARRIVE HOME SAFELY AND EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER AND PRECIOUS STANDING PLAY.
I, UH, IT'S NOW 1857 HOURS JULY 24TH.
ON A WEDNESDAY I DECLARED THE HUMAN RIGHT MILITARY AND VI COMMISSION NOW ADJOURNED.
