BUT, BUT, UH, WHILE I'M HERE, UM, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SERVICE ON THE, UM, UH, PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION.

WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK AND, UH, CONTINUING TO GIVE US A PLACE TO ENJOY AND, AND, AND GO OUT AND RECREATE AND ENJOY PEOPLE HEIGHTS.
I DID NOT VOTE FOR HER
SO ANYTHING THAT SHE DOES, YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THE COUNCIL.
AND IAIN, I WANT TO MAKE, PUT THAT ON THE RECORD, BUT, UM, AS I SAID THE OTHER DAY, UM, IT, IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE YOUNG FOLKS PARTICIPATE IN THIS POLITICAL PROCESS.
AND I THINK, UM, THE MORE YOUNGER FOLKS WE GET ENGAGED IN, IN THIS, UM, IN, ON THESE COMMISSIONS AND COUNCILS AND, AND ALL THIS WORK THAT WE DO, WE BUILD AND CONTINUE TO BUILD SUSTAINABILITY IN OUR CITY.
SO THANK YOU RACHEL, FOR YOUR SERVICE AND I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA DO AN EXCELLENT JOB UP THERE.

[00:05:01]
BE IN GOOD HANDS.SO LEARN A LOT AND, AND STAY ENGAGED.
AND THANK YOU, UH, CHAIR BLACK FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
I THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS TODAY.
AND COUNCILMAN, THERE IS NOW A SIGN SHEET OVER THERE,
I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WERE GONNA SPEAK.
ALRIGHT, AND WE MOVE ON TO ITEM FIVE ON THE, UH, AGENDA, WHICH IS A-Y-M-C-A UPDATE.
AND I THINK RICK, WELL SARAH WAS GOING TO BE UPDATING US FOR CHRIS THERE TONIGHT.
UM, YES, SO CHRIS IS, I BELIEVE HE'S ON VACATION, SO I HOPE HE'S ENJOYING HIMSELF.
UM, BEING THE LEADER HERE TODAY, I USUALLY JUST PUT ON MY PARTICIPANT HAT FOR THIS ONE.
BUT, UM, ATION IS TO THE NEW SENIOR CENTER HAVE BEGUN, UH, THEY STARTED LAST WEEK AND CURRENT COMPLETION DATE IS THE LAST WEEK IN NOVEMBER.
UM, I CAN TELL YOU HAD ANOTHER MEETING ON THAT TODAY AND EVERYTHING STILL SEEMS ON TRACK KEEPING THIS IN, UM, STARTING IN DECEMBER, START MOVING IN AND BEING OPERATIONAL.
UM, WE'VE HAD 199 COMMUNITY CENTER RENTALS TO DATE AND 502 SHELTER RENTALS.
UH, THE BREAKDOWN OF THAT IS 54 AT COTTONWOOD, 55 AT GARY SHERMAN AND 393 AT CLOUD PARK.
UM, AS OF SUNDAY, AUGUST 11TH, WE'VE ALSO SEEN 34,787 VISITS TO THE GER AQUATIC CENTER, WHICH IF I REMEMBER PRESENTATIONS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS, THAT SEEMS PRETTY ON PAR.
OKAY, THANK YOU CHRIS, FOR SENDING THAT STUFF OVER AND JUST THAT, UH, SEASON OR THAT RUNS THROUGH LABOR DAY, RIGHT? I THINK THAT THAT WEEKEND IS THE CLOSING IF YOU WILL.
YES, WE ARE ON WEEKENDS ONLY NOW, BUT WE ARE OPEN FOR THE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND THEN THE MONDAY OF LABOR DAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR SARAH? DID, DID CHRIS LEAVE ANYTHING ON UH, HOW THE BIKE AND THE RUNNING AND SWIMMING WENT? OH, OH, THE YOUTH TRIATHLON? UM, OH I MAYBE TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
UM, I JUST KNOW THAT THEY HAD A LITTLE UNDER 300, UM, SO I THINK THEY WERE JUST A LITTLE SHORT OF THEIR NUMBERS LAST YEAR, BUT OVERALL IT WENT REALLY WELL.
I HAPPENED TO BE AT THE FARMER'S MARKET DURING IT AND PEOPLE HAD A LOT OF FUN.
OKAY, ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THAT ITEM? IF NOT, THEN WE'LL GO ON THEN TO THE CITY UPDATE AND I THINK SARAH HAS THAT ALSO.
UM, SO THOSE OF YOU THAT MAY NOT KNOW, UM, I DID BRIEFLY HAVE A SEASONAL INTERN, UH, WORKING THIS SUMMER.
UM, SHE DID A GREAT JOB FOR ABOUT FOUR WEEKS, UM, HELPING ME OUT AT EVENTS.
SHE ALSO PLANS TO DETERMINE FOR THE MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL TO HELP OUT THEN, UM, COME BACK FROM COLLEGE FOR THAT WEEKEND.
UM, BUT WHAT I MAINLY HAD HER WORK ON WAS AN AMENITY INVENTORY.
SO, UM, SHE HAS A FEW MORE ITEMS THAT SHE'LL ADD TO THE INVENTORY FOR US IN NOVEMBER, BUT BASICALLY SHE WENT OUT AND TOOK PICTURES OF ALL OF OUR PARK BENCHES AND PLAYGROUNDS, SWING SETS, TRASH CANS, EVERYTHING IN THE PARKS.
UM, SHE TRIED TO GET DOWN INTO THE NITTY GRITTY DETAIL AS MUCH AS SHE COULD SO THAT WE HAVE THAT NOW LOGGED IN THE DATABASE.
SO, UM, IT ACTUALLY CAME IN HANDY THE OTHER DAY.
SOMEBODY CALLED ABOUT A BENCH AT THE DOG PARK AND THEY DESCRIBED WHERE IT WAS AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT THROUGH A PICTURE TO KNOW IMMEDIATELY WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT.
SO, UM, IT WILL COME IN HANDY TOO AS WE PLAN FOR REPLACEMENTS.
UM, I THINK AS WE GET INTO SOME OF OUR LATER DISCUSSION ON PARK STANDARDS, YOU PROBABLY SAW ON OUR PARK TOURS THAT YOU COULD BE AT A PARK AND SEE THREE DIFFERENT STYLES OF BENCH, UM, IN ANY GIVEN PARK.
THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRASH CANS ACROSS PARKS, UM, COLOR SCHEMES ALL OVER THE BOARD AND THAT SORT OF THING.
SO THIS WILL REALLY HELP WHEN WE GO TO REPLACE FOR US TO KNOW WHAT'S ALREADY THERE AND TRY AND MATCH THE CONTINUITY, THAT SORT OF THING.
SO, UM, IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE HAD OUR CONCERT ON THE THIRD, UM, THAT WAS ACTUALLY A TOURING MUSICIAN, UM, OUT OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA.
THEY WERE A LOT OF FUN, I DARE SAY THEY WERE OUR BEST PERFORMANCE TO DATE.
UM, WE DID HAVE A LITTLE OVER A HUNDRED PEOPLE THERE.
UH, OUR LAST CONCERT OF THE SEASON WILL BE 8 24 AND THAT IS THE FRIES BAND.
UM, I ANTICIPATE THEM BRINGING, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST A HUNDRED PEOPLE WITH THEM JUST FOLLOWING UP FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES TOO, SO SHOULD BE GOOD.
UM, AND THEN THE FINAL UPDATE THAT I DON'T HAVE, UM, AS AN ACTUAL BULLET POINT ON THIS AGENDA IS THAT THE PLAYGROUND FOR SHE GATE WILL BE SHIPPED ON 8 23.
UM, SO TOWARDS THE END OF NEXT WEEK, MIKE'S GUYS ARE GONNA START MOVING THE EXISTING PLAYGROUND.
UM, SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE SIGNAGE POSTED ABOUT THAT AND UM,
[00:10:01]
YEAH, LATER ON WE'LL BE CLOSE TO PRAYER.WANT TO GET A BRAND NEW ONE, SO IT SHOULD BE GREAT.
UH, ON THE ITEMS SIR, THAT LAST CONTRACT, IS THAT THE SAME NIGHT AS THE UH, THE EVENT UP AT THE ROSES? IT IS THE TRUCK FOOD TRUCK IS, IT'S CONSIDERED A FOOD TRUCK RALLY OR IS IT FOR THE BIKES? I CAN'T REMEMBER THE, I THINK THEY CALLED BLUE TRUCK RALLY.
YEAH, SO, UM, THAT CAME UP AFTER ALL OF OUR CONCERTS WERE BOOKED.
THEY SAID THEY TYPICALLY DO IT IN OCTOBER AND THEY SAID WE WANT TO TRY IT IN AUGUST.
AND I SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN ACTUALLY SAY GET OR DATE ON THAT
SO THEY UM, DECIDED TO PROCEED WITH TRYING IT IN AUGUST.
I DO THINK THAT A LOT OF THE CROWDS WERE THERE, COULD GO GRAB A LIGHT AND THEN COME UP AND JOIN US.
UM, I ALSO THINK IT MIGHT COOL TWO DIFFERENT CROWDS OF PEOPLE ARE THERE IN THE EVENING FOR THE SHOW WITH THE WIZARD BALL THAT THE ARTS COMMUNICATION BOARD DECIDED TO HAVE THERE CAN COMPLAIN.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE THAT TO DO THAT.
WE WILL TRY AND AVOID THAT IN THE FUTURE THOUGH.
UM, SO YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT CONDITIONS SO THAT, UM, IT WAS SET PROPERLY BUT I BELIEVE ABOUT A MONTH.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, THANKS SIR.
NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN, BEING OLD BUSINESS.
UM, REALLY THESE NEXT ITEMS AREN'T JUST LITTLE BUSINESS THAT I HAVE.
SO REVIEW OF THE PREVIOUS PARK ACTIVITY.
I, ONE THING I'D LIKE TO BRING UP, YEAH,
THIS THING RUNS OVER FIVE YEARS TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF MONEY THERE.
NOW A LOT OF US WON'T BE HERE AT THE END OF THAT FIVE YEAR PERIOD.
NOW A LOT OF THE CITY COUNCIL WON'T BE THERE.
MY CONCERN IS THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT WE DO AN ANNUAL REVIEW ON THIS SO THAT WE DON'T END UP STARTING ONE PROJECT AND THEN THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT WE GOT 'EM OUT OF SEQUENCE OR SOMETHING BECAUSE THAT WOULD REALLY GET THE PEOPLE IN THE CITY COMING TO THE MEETING.
THEN THEY REALIZE YOU SPENT MONEY FOR SOMETHING, YOU'RE GOING BACK, YOU'RE TAKING DOWN SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A LONG RANGE PLAN.
AND SEE POOL GETS YOU BECAUSE WE GOT THINGS GOING ON WITH THE WIRE THERE BEING BUILT AND AT THE PARKS AND EVERYTHING.
I'M SAYING IT'S VERY EASY SOMETIMES TO GET THESE THINGS IN THE WRONG ORDER AND WE END UP EMBARRASSING OURSELVES.
SO I WANT, MY QUESTION IS, ARE WE GOING TO REVIEW THIS PLAN EVERY YEAR BEFORE WE MOVE ON? YES.
PROBABLY ABOUT THE SAME TIME EACH YEAR, JUNE OR JULY MEETING? YEP.
THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD ON OKAY.
OH, ONE OTHER THING I NOTICED ON THERE, YOU HAD ON THAT TENNIS COURT RENOVATION AND UPDATE MM-HMM.
I THOUGHT WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE INCLUDED ALL COURTS, WHETHER YOU PICK UP ALL THE TENNIS COURT IN THE SAME CONTRACT.
WE, THE WAY I HAVE IT BUILT OUT NOW IS THAT WE WOULD BE DOING LIKE TWO BECAUSE OF, WE'D BE DOING LIKE ONE SECTION OF QUARTZ AT CLOUD EACH YEAR AND THAT'S REALLY JUST TO, TO SPEND, TO DIVVY UP HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A SUBSTANTIAL COST.
WE'VE GOT, I BELIEVE 12 QUARTS UP THERE.
SO, UM, WE'D BE DOING ONE OF THOSE SECTIONS A YEAR AND WHEN THE YEAR THAT WE FIND THAT THE PICKLEBALL COURTS NEED WORK, WE WOULD PROBABLY WRAP THAT INTO WHATEVER SECTIONS BEING DONE IN CLOUD BECAUSE THOSE PICKLEBALL COURTS PROB, THEY'LL PROBABLY PROBABLY GET FIVE YEARS BEFORE WE REALLY NEED OKAY.
WELL I THINK FIVE YEARS OF WHAT I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE AVERAGE TIME FOR COURTS, IF YOU MAINTAIN, YOU KEEP CLEAN EVERY YEAR AND DON'T ALLOW THE LEAVES AND SO FORTH, GET OUT, REPAIR.
RIGHT, OKAY THEN, SO THAT, THAT WOULD BE THE PLAN TO RECOMMEND WHEN THEY'RE NEEDED.
AND THEN OF COURSE WE HAVE TO TALK IN THE FUTURE WHEN WE UM, GET
[00:15:01]
CLOSER TO WORKING ON COMMUNITY PARK.I HAVE IT SLATED FOR NEXT YEAR AS WELL.
UM, WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO WITH THE BASKETBALL COURT SIDE, I KNOW THAT WAS THE TOP OF THE DISCUSSION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL I CAN THANK YOU.
ARE YOU READY FOR THE NEXT ONE? WELL, I'LL WAITING ON MY QUESTIONS ON THAT.
THEN WHERE DO WE STAND ON THE HONORARY BOARD MEMBERS? YOU WERE THE ONE WHO GET A A REQUEST OUT TO THE SCHOOLS ON THAT.
BUT I'M STILL WORKING ON THAT.
MY APOLOGIES FOR NOT HAVING AN UPDATE.
ALRIGHT THEN THEY ARE BACK TO SCHOOL RIGHT TODAY.
SO NOT TWO BEHIND IF I WORK ON IT.
SO LET'S GO TO ITEM EIGHT THEN.
SO YOU SHOULD HAVE A RATHER HEFTY PACKET IN FRONT OF YOU FROM THE EE METER THAN WE DID LAST MEETING.
AND I WANTED JUST TO PROVIDE THIS TO YOU, UM, TO FLIP THROUGH AT YOUR OWN LEISURE AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING STILL FELT APPROPRIATE, UM, THAT YOU DIDN'T GO HOME AND SLEEP ON IT AND SAY WHAT WAS I THINKING OF THAT ANSWER? UM, OR THAT SOME OF OUR MEMBERS WHO WEREN'T HERE ACTUALLY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON SOME OF THESE.
SO IF YOU FLIP THROUGH THE QUESTIONS ARE WHAT I POSED IN BLACK AND THEN THE ANSWERS IN THE COLORFUL ANSWERS ARE WHAT YOU ALL GAVE.
UM, SO EACH ONES RANK KIND OF DIFFERENTLY, BUT THIS GOES THROUGH NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY PARKS.
UM, IN THE NEXT, IN THE NEW BUSINESS, I'LL MOVE THROUGH STANDARDS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS THAT I'M WORKING ON AS A DRAFT FOR COMMENT.
AND THEN NEXT MEETING I PLAN TO BRING COMMUNITY PARKS.
SO, UM, I JUST RECOMMEND EVERYBODY TAKE A MINUTE AND READ THROUGH IT IF ANY QUESTIONS OR CORRECTIONS OR COMMENTS COME UP, DO YOU NOTE THEM? OKAY.
YOU WANTED TO READ THROUGH IT ONE I
ALL RIGHT, THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE BIG ITEM ON THE LIST THERE.
SO WE RECALL LAST MEETING I DISCUSSED THE PLANS FOR PROJECT CLOUD PARK.
UM, SO THIS HERE IS THE DRAFT OF THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.
MY GOAL IS TO SEND IT OUT BY END OF WEEK, WHICH IS, UM, TOMORROW IMMEDIATELY.
UM, RON ALREADY DID CATCH AN ERROR WITH SOME FORMATTING THAT RAN ALL OF THE TEXT TOGETHER AND THEN I CAUGHT THIS ZIP CODE HERE, UM, ON THE FRONT PAGE BEING OFF AND THERE'S QUITE A FEW AREAS WHERE THAT LOOKS LIKE IT DID IT ON, UH, ITEM ONE, THE PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS, BULLET POINT OR NUMBER THREE.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT DID A FORMATTING THING THERE.
PAGE TWO THERE, HUH? YEAH, SO THE FIRST COUPLE PAGES ARE REALLY, UM, MORE OF THE BORING STUFF, BUT I'LL HIT SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS IN THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PRE-PROPOSAL MEETING WITH ANY INTERESTED FIRMS AND AGENCIES ON AUGUST 29TH WITH THE GOAL OF THEM HAVING ANY OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS TO US BY SEPTEMBER 5TH.
AND THEN THEIR FINAL PROPOSALS FOR THIS WORK TO US ON SEPTEMBER 13TH.
AND WE HOPE TO TURN IT AROUND AND HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THEM WITHIN WEEK ON THE 19TH.
SO THAT'S KIND OF THE TIMELINE.
UM, THINGS THAT I'M ASKING FOR IN THE FORMAT IS THAT THEY INCLUDE ALL OF THE NECESSARY ELEMENTS THAT, THAT REALLY THE CITY REQUIRES CROSSING YOUR, UM, YOU KNOW, T'S AND DOTTING YOUR I'S WITH INSURANCE AND THAT SORT OF THING.
AND, UM, NON-DISCRIMINATION DISCLOSURES, ALL OF THAT.
AND THEN WE'RE ASKING FOR THE TOTAL AND FINAL COST FOR THEIR PROPOSAL, THE FIRM'S RELEVANT WORK EXPERIENCE AND PERTINENT INDUSTRY CREDENTIALS, THEIR REFERENCES, ANY REFERENCES FOR SUBCONTRACTORS.
UM, WE'RE GONNA ASK FOR A LISTING OF THEIR TEAM MEMBERS, SO PEOPLE THAT THEY ANTICIPATE WORKING ON THIS PROJECT AND UM, WHAT THEIR ROLES WOULD BE, WHAT THEIR DELIVERABLES AND AN ESTIMATED TIMELINE FOR THOSE DELIVERABLES WILL BE.
AND THEN IF THEY HAVE ANY NEED TO DESCRIBE APPROACH TO US.
SO WHAT ABOUT SUBSEQUENT MEETINGS OR PUBLIC FEEDBACK TECHNIQUES? UM, HOW THEY GO ABOUT CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT, THAT SORT OF THING.
I KNOW, UM, LOTS OF PROJECT MANAGERS HAVE DIFFERENT APPROACHES AND THEN STATEMENT OF ANY DEVIATIONS FROM WHAT WE'RE REQUIRING IN HERE.
UM, AND THEN THE CERTIFICATION FORM
[00:20:02]
ALSO, WHICH IS ON THE BACK, JUST SIGNING THAT THEY AGREE TO EVERYTHING IN THIS PACKET.AND THEN PROBABLY THE MORE INTERESTING THINGS TO THE BOARD WOULD BE IN INSTRUCTION TWO ON PAGE SIX, WHICH IS THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT SO THAT YOU KIND OF SEE WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.
UM, OF COURSE IF A FIRM HAS SOMETHING VERY CREATIVE OR DIFFERENT IN MIND, WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT IT.
BUT IN GENERAL WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO DESIGN AN ENGINEER A SPLASH PAD AND PROVIDE US COST COMPARISONS FOR THAT, EITHER BEING A RECIRCULATING SYSTEM OR A COMPLETE FLOW THROUGH SYSTEM.
AND IF WE DO A FLOW THROUGH SYSTEM THERE, UM, CONSIDERING THE WASTEWATER, DO WE RETAIN IT AND USE IT FOR SOME SORT OF IRRIGATION? IS THERE A WAY, UM, WITH EPA STANDARDS THAT WE CAN RELEASE IT INTO THE CREEK OR UM, DO A RAIN GARDEN, THAT SORT OF THING? UM, WE'RE ALSO ASKING THAT THEY DESIGN AN ENGINEERING AMPHITHEATER, UM, APPROXIMATELY NO SMALLER THAN 30 BY 40 FEET IN SIZE, UM, AND ENGINEERED SEATING FOR QUALITY VIEWING.
UM, WE'RE ALSO ASKING FOR THEM TO GO, UH, ENGINEER AND DESIGN A CONCESSION STAND AND RESTROOM AND SEATING PATIO.
WE'RE ASKING FOR THEM TO DESIGN ADDITIONAL PARKING AND FOOD TRUCK AND VENDOR PARKING.
WE'RE ASKING FOR A SHAPE STRUCTURE, UM, AND WE'RE ASKING THAT THEIR PLANS UTILIZE THE EXISTING TREE LINE AND THAT THEY PRIORITIZE REMOVING AS FEW HEALTHY TREES AS POSSIBLE.
WE'RE ASKING THAT THEY INCLUDE, UM, A GATEWAY ENTRANCE WITH WIDE ROAD AND SIGNAGE THAT'S APPROPRIATE IN SIZE FOR THE TRAFFIC NUMBER AT PIPE.
AND WE'RE ASKING THAT THEY INCLUDE PLACEMAKING ELEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF THE PARK SO THAT WE DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ONE SECTION THAT FEELS DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE REST OF THE SECTIONS.
SO THAT CAN INCLUDE SIGNAGE, MESSAGE BOARDS, TRASH AMENITIES OR FEED ELEMENTS WE'RE ASKING FOR TO INCLUDE SECURITY FEATURES SUCH AS CAMERAS, EMERGENCY PHONES, AND TRAFFIC CONTROL BARRIERS.
UM, WE'RE ASKING FOR THEM TO INCLUDE PLANS FOR SPORTS LEAGUES, PASSIVE USE AND FUTURE PROGRAM AND EVENT OFFERINGS, AND SPECIFICALLY TO EVALUATE THE NINE ACRES THAT WAS RECENTLY REQUIRED FEW YEARS AGO.
AND THEN WE ALSO WANT THEM TO PUT THIS IN CLEAR AND LOGICAL PHASES FOR US.
SO IF WE FIND THAT THE PROJECT, UM, CAN'T BE EXECUTED IN, YOU KNOW, ONE PHASE, THAT THEY BREAK IT DOWN INTO TWO OR THREE PHASES FOR US TO GO ABOUT AND HOW THOSE WOULD LOGICALLY FIT TOGETHER, WE ALSO ALL HAVE A PUBLIC INPUT REQUIREMENT, UM, IN THAT WE ARE REQUIRING THEM TO SEEK PUBLIC INPUT FROM THE Y THE SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION, THE SOCCER ASSOCIATION AND WARRIOR SOCCER PUT.
SO AT SOME POINT, UM, ONCE A FIRM IS AWARDED, THEY BE REACHING OUT TO THESE INDIVIDUALS FOR FEEDBACK TO UNDERSTAND HOW THEY USE THE FACILITY, WHAT PLANS FOR THE FUTURE WOULD LOOK LIKE, UM, ANY INSIGHT THAT THEY GLEANED FROM USING THE FACILITY.
AND THEN WE HAVE OUR STATEMENT THAT WE, UH, CAN RETURN THE PROPOSALS.
THE TITLE PAGE SIX, RIGHT? NOPE.
UM, I NEED YOU SAW, DID YOU MENTION THE PART ON PAGE FOUR NINE? SECTION NINE? YES.
THAT IT'S ALL, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I THOUGHT YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND THEN MM-HMM?
SARAH, CAN YOU TELL ME JUST WITH A COUPLE OF THINGS, UH, I'VE NEVER BEEN ON THIS PAGE DOWN AT UH, THE OTHER, UH, YOU HAD MENTIONED, WAS IT 30 BY 40 IS WHAT YOUR, THE DIMENSION OF THE, THE UH, THE THEATER
WE'RE SAYING NO SMALLER THAN 30 BY 40 FOR THE DESIGN OF THE NEWER.
IS THAT EQUIVALENT TO WHAT'S UP THERE OVER, I'M TRYING TO PUT IT FOR UH, I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE BIT BIGGER.
AND THEN YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE THIS AVAILABLE FOR, UM, THAT'LL BE SENT OUT MAYBE THIS WEEK.
WHAT'S THE REACH OF THAT? I MEAN, SO IT'LL BE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE.
UM, AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GOING TO SEND IT OUT TO SOME OF OUR TRADE ORGANIZATIONS.
AND, UM, SOME FIRMS THAT WE KNOW SPECIFICALLY AND INVITE THEM.
SO IT'S NOT JUST A, A DAYTON AREA, IT IS FAR MORE REACHING THAN THAT.
I ANTICIPATE AT LEAST A REGIONAL RESPONSE.
UM, I KNOW ONE FIRM WE'RE GONNA REACH OUT TO THAT HAS AN OFFICE HERE SOUTH OF DAYTON, BUT IS MOSTLY LOCATED IN KENTUCKY AND THEN ANOTHER IN THE COLUMBUS AREA.
WHAT IS THE TITLE? OH YEAH, ON PROJECT OVERVIEW, THE LAST LINE THAT
[00:25:01]
ON THE PROPOSAL WE ARE EXPECTING BACK FROM THIS, UM, WOULD THAT COME AND WOULD THAT BE ALL HARD COPIES OR WOULD IT BE A ELECTRONIC COPY? SO THEY'RE GONNA SEND IT TO ME ELECTRONICALLY, BUT THEN I'LL BE ABLE TO PRINT IT.UM, AND THEN I ALSO TONIGHT WAS GOING TO ASK THAT, UM, LIKE MOST LIKELY THE CHAIR, BUT MAYBE ONE OTHER PERSON IF SOMEONE IS VERY INTERESTED IN SITTING ON THAT, UM, REVIEW COMMITTEE.
YOU LOVE TO HAVE THAT YOU WANT ONE PERSON OR YOU WANT AT LEAST NO, I'D SAY ONE TO TWO.
I'D SAY IT'S PROBABLY TYPICAL THAT THAT PERSON BE THE CHAIR, BUT IF SOMEBODY ELSE HAD A STRONG DESIRE THEN WELL, I WOULD BE VERY GLAD TO SIT ON THAT.
AND ONE OTHER PERSON WENT TO BOTTOM CHAIR BECAUSE THAT STA NOTE OR ME EITHER ONE, I'M HAPPY.
YOU BRING THE SOCCER PERSPECTIVE.
SO YOU GONNA LET US KNOW WHEN AND EVERYTHING, STARE WHEN, WHERE? YEP, YEP.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE, UH, THE RFP OR THE UH, CLOUD PARK DEVELOPMENT DRUG PROGRAM? IS THERE ANY PLANS AT ALL FOR ANYTHING MR. UH, PLANTING OF KIND TREES OR DRUG OR ANYTHING? OR IS IT JUST ALL PARTS? UM, SO THEY, THEY ARE TO INCLUDE TREES, UH, FOR THE PURPOSE OF SHADE RATHER THAN FOR ORNAMENTAL NECESSARILY.
UM, BUT TYPICALLY LANDSCAPE DESIGNERS WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS OF OTHER THINGS TOO.
AND SO THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT WILL BE THROUGH ALL OF THE CLOUD PARK THAT THE ENTIRETY OF THAT NINE ACRES THAT WE PARK AND ALL THE STRUCTURE? CORRECT.
SO THEY'RE PRIMARILY GONNA KIND OF FOCUS IN, UM, THESE EXHIBITS KIND OF SHOW IT, THEY'RE GONNA KIND OF PRIMARILY FOCUS IN THAT, UM, QUADRANT ALONG GRANT PIPE THAT WE KNOW GETS REALLY GREAT SHADE COVERAGE, UM, THAT WE KNOW IS KIND OF UNDERUTILIZED.
AND ONE OF THE OTHER GREAT THINGS ABOUT THAT AREA IS IT HAS REALLY HIGH ELECTRICAL, UM, CAPABILITIES.
SO IT'S ALREADY GREAT FOR THE STAGE, BUT WE DO WANT 'EM TO GIVE US PLANNING AND IDEAS FOR LIKE PLACE MAKING ELEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF THE PARK AND THEN A USE PLAN FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE PARK.
AND WE DEFINITELY WANT THE USE PLAN TO KIND OF PUT THIS NINE ACRES UNDER A MICROSCOPE BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT NOW JUST TO FORM FIELD.
UM, AND SHOULD WE BE DOING SOMETHING WITH IT OR NOT? AND THEN ARE THEY, AND SO THEY WON'T BE, ARE THEY GONNA HAVE SOME SORT OF IDEA OF HOW UM, THE CURRENT USE OF THE PARK IS LIKE, YOU KNOW, WITH BASEBALLS SOCCER, UM, WILL THEY HAVE SOME SORT OF IDEA BUT CURRENTLY IS GOING ON THAT PARK AND HOW THEY'RE UTILIZING, BECAUSE UM, I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A COUPLE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT RENT OUT THE SOFTWARE FIELDS THERE, UM, IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE PARK.
SO, UM, WHAT KIND OF KNOWLEDGE DO THEY HAVE? YEAH, SO THEY'LL HAVE MEETINGS WITH BOTH CHRIS AND I MM-HMM.
AND THEN THE ONES, THE GROUPS THAT I NOTED, THEY SPECIFICALLY NEED TO MEET AND FIND OUT WHO FROM ARE, WHO ARE THE INSUREDS.
SO THEY, SO THEY WILL SET, THEY WILL FIGURE ALL THAT OUT PRIOR TO SUBMIT THE PROPOSAL OR, SO THIS IS JUST THE PROPOSAL.
THEY'RE GONNA SAY, HEY, I'M GONNA CHARGE YOU $90,000 TO DO ALL OF THIS WORK, WHICH IS THE ACTUAL VEN PLAN.
SO ONCE WE AWARD IT, THEN THEY'LL SAY, BUT THEY SHOULD TELL US HOW THEY PLAN TO TALK TO THOSE GROUPS.
SO THEY MIGHT SAY, WELL WE'RE GONNA SEND AN ONLINE SURVEY FOLLOWED BY THE ZOO CALL WITH THE PRECEDENT OF EACH OF THOSE ASSOCIATIONS.
AND THEN SOMEBODY ELSE MIGHT SAY, WELL WE WANT TO DO IT IN PERSON SO WE'RE GONNA CONTACT THEM ALL AND OKAY.
SO THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO TELL US HOW THEY PLAN TO APPROACH THOSE COMMUNITY GROUPS AT THIS POINT.
SO THEY'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A OKAY.
BECAUSE I GUESS THE, I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHAT'S GOING.
I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK BIG PICTURE HOW THEY'RE GOING TO APPROACH THESE PROPOSALS AND HOW THEY DO IT.
SO THEY'LL HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW THEY'RE USED BUT THEY, THEY WON'T GET INTO THE MECHANICS AND THE DETAILS UNTIL AFTER A PROPOSAL.
ONE LAST THING ON THE FRONT PAGE HERE.
I THINK ZIP CODE COME OFF ON THAT JUST ONE.
[00:30:02]
AND ALSO ON PAGE 12, SARAH? YEP.YEAH, THE VERY TOP EXHIBIT D YOU GOT SHOULD BEEN THOMAS I THINK.
NO, THEY'LL BE, GO CHECK THAT.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THE ALL UP P? RIGHT.
UM, JUST SO REMEMBERING RIGHT, THE SPLASH PAD, IS THAT THE NEW, WE KNOW WE NEED A NEW STRUCTURE, IS THAT GONNA BE INCLUDED WITH THIS OR IS THAT A SEPARATE? THAT'S THIS.
SO THEY'LL COME UP WITH THE PLAN OF, OF WHERE IT SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY INTO FOOTPRINT.
UH, THEY'LL BE GIVING US COST COMPARISONS OF UM, YOU KNOW, FLOW THROUGH AND THAT SORT OF THING.
AND THEN FROM THERE WE'LL GIVE THEM GUIDANCE ON LIKE, OKAY, WE WANT TO GO THE FLOW THROUGH ROUTE OR WE WANT TO GO TO A CIRCULATING ROUTE AND THEN THEY'LL FINISH IT UP, POLISH IT OFF AND WELL THEN WE'LL HIRE THE INSTRUCTION AND BUY THE AMENITIES NEXT.
NOW ONCE YOU RECEIVE YOUR PROPOSAL, SARAH, WHAT'S YOUR TIMELINE FOR GETTING YOUR COMMENTS OR REVIEWING THAT? SO WE HOPE TO TURN IT AROUND IN A WEEK.
SO, UM, I WOULD NEED YOU AND JUSTICE TO BE AVAILABLE BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 13TH, UM, AND 19TH.
I CAN ADJUST THAT TOO NOW BEFORE WE OUT.
UM, I THINK IT IS NINTH AND JUSTIN OUT THERE IN THE MEETING CASE, SOMETHING COMES UP THAT WE MAY OVERLOOK.
BUT WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR WAS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN EMAIL THIS TO THE OTHER MEMBERS IF IT'S UH, POSSIBLY KNOW IT SAYS A PDF FORMAT OR SOMETHING, THE OTHER MEMBER CAN AT LEAST HAVE A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT.
IF JUSTIN, I GOING TO BE IN THE MEETING FACE TO FACE, ACTUALLY HAVE INPUT FROM THE OTHER PEOPLE, UH, ON THE BOARD HOSPITAL.
IS THAT PRELIMINARY INFORMATION, LIKE THAT PART, UH, PROPRIETARY, ANYTHING THAT'S PROPRIETARY THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO MARK? UM, SO THAT, I THINK Y'ALL HAVE TO KIND OF ANSWER THAT QUESTION ONCE I GET THE SUBMISSION.
BECAUSE IF THEY HAVE A LOT OF PROPRIETARY STUFF, MARK IN THERE THAT I DON'T WANNA SUBMIT IT AS MATTER PUBLIC, YOU KNOW, RECORD AN EMAIL LIKE THAT.
UM, BUT I CAN ALSO JUST, WE MEET ON SEPTEMBER 19TH SO I'LL JUST BUMP BACK THAT WE AREN'T SELECTING ANYBODY UNTIL THE 20TH.
AND THEN AFTER I CONFIRM WHAT WE CAN SHARE WITH THE LARGER GROUP, I CAN AT LEAST BRING SOME OF THAT.
I THINK HAVING THE GROUP LOOK AT IT.
SO YOU GOT PEOPLE WHO PLAY SOFTBALL HERE, COACH SOFTBALL, BASEBALL, SOCCER, PICKLEBALL, TENNIS.
I THINK HAVING THE GROUP LOOK AT IT, YOU MIGHT MISS SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, AND THEY MIGHT HAVE AN IDEA OR SOMETHING.
I JUST SEND DATES SEPTEMBER, WHATEVER, UH, IF NEED, UH, SEPTEMBER 15TH, I DO GET MY VACATION TIME BACK.
SO YOU KNOW THE DATES I COULD PROBABLY JOIN WITH JUSTICE OR ALEX AND ALL THAT AFTER SEPTEMBER 15TH.
WOULD THAT HAVE THAT A WEEKEND OR WOULD THAT HAPPEN ON THE WEEKEND? NO.
JUST MAKING SURE BECAUSE WE'RE, I'M PLAYING A CAMPING TRIP THAT WEEKEND, SO THE 13TH, 14TH.
WE'LL TRY AND MEET UM, EARLY THAT WEEK.
AND IF NOTHING ELSE, MAYBE THERE'S SOME FINE SNIPS WE CAN SHARE UH, AT FO WITH THE MEETING ON THE 19TH.
ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR SARAH ON THE RP? SO THERE'S NONE THEN WE MOVE ON.
ALRIGHT, NEW BID NUMBER 10 PARKER, HUH? HUH? COMMUNITY PARK DID.
UM, SO I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT WE HAD, UM, SUBMITTED FOR A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT AND WE WERE AWARDED, UM, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WE ARE EXPECTED TO RECEIVE $75,000 TO GO.
SO WE DON'T HAVE THE UM, EXACT LETTER YET, BUT I DID WANT TO SHARE THAT WE ARE PLANNING, UM, AS THOUGH WE DO SO THAT WE CAN DO IT QUICKLY.
[00:35:01]
FOILS THAT, BUT IT WAS SUBMITTED FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO COMMUNITY PARK PLAYGROUND.SO, UM, THE PLAN WAS TO GET UNIFORM SURFACING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF THAT PLAYGROUND AND THEN POSSIBLY ADD SOME AMENITIES.
AND WHAT I WANTED TO GET, UM, YOUR ALL'S FEEDBACK ON TONIGHT IS THAT I WANTED TO PUT TOGETHER ONCE WE GET THE PRICING BACK, UH, SOME OF THOSE AMENITIES AND I ACTUALLY WANTED TO SEE ABOUT LIKE POSTING THEM, UM, ON OUR WEBSITE AND ON FACEBOOK AND SAYING, YOU KNOW, WE CAN AFFORD PACKAGE A OR PACKAGE B, YOU KNOW, WHICH IS THIS AND THAT OR THIS AND THAT AND THIS.
UM, OR WE COULD JUST GET THIS ONE REALLY BIG COOL THING, YOU KNOW, PACKAGE C AND PUTTING THAT OUT THERE PROBABLY FOR A PERIOD OF, UM, A COUPLE WEEKS SO THAT PEOPLE COULD VOTE AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK.
UM, WE ARE OBVIOUSLY ONLY GONNA PUT PACKAGES OUT THERE THAT WE WOULD BE OKAY ACTUALLY GETTING.
UM, BUT DO YOU GUYS THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA? DO YOU KNOW PEOPLE WOULD LIKELY BE INVOLVED IN THAT? IS THERE A WAY, I MEAN YOU, YOU MENTIONED BE ON THE WEBSITE, IS THERE A WAY THAT YOU COULD P THOSE THAT ARE, IT LOOKED LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE WALK TO THE PARK, THAT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS I DON'T FOUR FIVE BLOCK RADIUS OUT THERE.
IS THERE EMAIL ADDRESSES OR, OR IS THERE A WAY TO JUST, I MEAN MAKE SURE THAT THEY DEFINITELY SEE IT BECAUSE IT COULD IMPACT THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN ME SO FAR AWAY TYPE OF THING? MM-HMM.
UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S IN THE DATABASE OR IF THAT, IF THERE'S A WAY TO DO THAT, BUT I MEAN I, IF IT WAS NEAR ME, I'D LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT IT AND IT LEAST SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS OF SOMETHING ELSE.
I DON'T, I'M NOT A FACEBOOK PERSON SO, UM, I MIGHT MISS AN OPPORTUNITY BUT TO PROVIDE SOME FEEDBACK, UM, BECAUSE I, I'M NOT ON THAT PLATFORM SO.
I THINK THAT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA.
UH, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A DATABASE OF ABILITY TO JUST CONTACT PEOPLE WITHOUT DOING JUST MAIL.
UM, BUT I COULD DO SIGNS IN THE PARK SO THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE FREQUENTING IT WOULD SEE THAT AND THEN WE HAVE THE WEB ADDRESS TO BE ABLE TO GO TO IT.
OR THEY COULD EVEN CALL AND WE COULD, YOU KNOW, COMPLETE THE SURVEY FOR THEM, BUT THEY PROBABLY WANNA SEE PICTURES OF THE THINGS SO THEY PROBABLY NEED, NEED TO GET ONLINE.
BUT WHAT, WHEN WILL THAT BE? UM, SO I JUST TALKED TO OUR SALES REPRESENTATIVE, UM, FROM THE, THE SAME FIRM THAT THAT DID THE PLAYGROUND OUT THERE.
SO WE, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY DON'T LIKE TO MIX AND MATCH THE, THE SALES GUYS DON'T LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER LIKE THAT.
SO, UM, WE'RE GONNA GO WITH LANDSCAPE STRUCTURES AGAIN OUT THERE.
UM, AND HE WAS HOPEFUL THAT HE COULD GET ME THAT BY NEXT WEEK.
SOME OF THE PRELIMINARY PRICING AND STUFF SO THAT I CAN SAVE THESE PACKAGES WE CAN AFFORD TOGETHER.
WELL I, I I FOOTBALL SEASONS HERE AND IF THAT FOOTBALL FIELD THERE IS USED QUITE A BIT, I'M JUST THINKING OF THE TRAFFIC OF THE EYEBALLS THAT CAN SEE THAT GOING INTO A FOOTBALL GAME.
I THINK WE'LL HAVE IT IN IN SEPTEMBER.
LIKE IT'LL BE, WE'LL BE COLLECTING THE OPINIONS IN SEPTEMBER, YOU KNOW, FIRST COUPLE WEEKS.
SO I THINK WE'LL HIT THE CHILDREN'S FOOTBALL SO THAT THEY CAN SEE WHATEVER YOU'RE GONNA PUT OUT TO SAY, HEY, WE'D LIKE YOUR INPUT, YOUR FEEDBACK OR WHATEVER.
ALL THOSE FAMILIES COMING IN FOR A FOOTBALL GAME MIGHT GET A CHANCE TO WEIGH IN ON THAT AS WELL.
I DON'T THINK ANYMORE YOU, SOMEBODY SAID THEY WERE JUST OUT THERE THE OTHER DAY.
THEY WERE THERE THE OTHER NIGHT FOR PRACTICES.
YEAH, BECAUSE THEY'RE DOWN BY THE WARRIOR SOCCER COMPLEX.
THEY HAVE IT, THEY PUT A FIELD OUT THERE AND THEY GOT IT P****D OFF AND THE REASON WHY THEY DID THAT IS BECAUSE NOW THEY CAN SET, THEY COULD MISSION THE MISSION THEY HAD, THEY COLLECT ABOUT $6 PER PERSON COMING.
I ALSO DID NOT THINK THAT THEY WERE OUT THERE AGAIN, BUT THEN SOMEBODY JUST CALLED AND SAID THEY SAW THEY PROBABLY USE IT FOR PRACTICES.
THANK YEAH, BUT THEY OUT THERE, THEY'RE THERE FOR PRACTICE DURING THE WEEK FOR PRACTICE.
GO OUT THERE SATURDAY, GO OUT THERE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
THAT'LL TELL YOU IF THEY'RE OUT THERE FOR DAYS.
SO I THINK WHAT WE ARE SAYING, ANYONE HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON WHAT SARAH BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE FIGURE EQUIPMENT OR ANY QUESTIONS? THE GRANT WAS JUST FOR, UH, PLAYGROUND, CORRECT? CORRECT.
SO JUST, JUST TO WORK ON THAT PLAYGROUND.
SO IT'S ALL WE'LL BE DOING WITH THAT MONEY.
IS THERE, THE FOOTPRINT IS, IS THERE ANY CONCERNS OF GETTING THE WAY OF THIS GOLF? UM, I DON'T THINK WITH WHERE WE'RE LOOKING TO CURRENTLY EXPAND TO, WE'RE GONNA KIND OF JUST PUSH OUT TOWARD THE PICKLE WALL.
'CAUSE I KNOW THERE WAS LIKE WHEN I SAW, YOU KNOW,
[00:40:01]
SWINGS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, THEY WERE LIKE, OH THIS, THIS IN THE WAY OF THIS GOLF AND LIVING THE LINES AND I KNOW HE PLAYS.SO YEAH, IF WE GO TO WORK AT THE WALL WE OKAY.
EXCEPT FOR THAT MORNING IT WAS RIGHT BY IT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALRIGHT, IF THERE ARE NONE THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 12 THERE
UM, PARTS AND FACILITY STANDARDS.
SO, UM, THIS IS THE DOCUMENT THAT I'M WORKING ON CREATING FROM ALL OF THE FEEDBACK THAT YOU ARE GIVING ON UH, NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY PARKS.
I PLAN NEXT MONTH FOR US TO DO THIS UM, SAME KIND OF QUESTIONNAIRE ON OUR REGIONAL PARKS.
UM, SO I THINK THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WE'RE ALL MORE FAMILIAR WITH ANYWAY.
UM, BUT THIS DOCUMENT WILL EVENTUALLY INCLUDE ALL OF OUR LEVELS OF PARKS AND OUR SPECIAL USE PARTS WHICH WE MIGHT CONSIDER LIKE CANAL AND THE DOG PARK AND THE BIKE PARK AND THAT SORT OF THING.
SO, UM, IF WE ALL JUST WANNA TAKE A MINUTE TO OURSELVES TO READ THROUGH THESE STANDARDS, UM, IT STARTS WITH SYSTEM-WIDE STANDARDS AND THEN IS FOLLOWED BY THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK STANDARDS.
YOU WILL ALSO SEE THAT AS OF NOW I HAVE ONLY LANDED ON, BASED ON YOUR FEEDBACK THAT BELL PLAIN TWIN CREEKS AND MIAMI VILLA ARE DEFINITELY NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
I THINK WE'RE STILL TEETERING ON THE EDGE ABOUT GARY SHERMAN AND I THINK THAT'S OKAY.
WE CAN DEFINITELY TALK ABOUT IT MORE NEXT WEEK TOO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY PARK STANDARDS.
SO TAKE A MINUTE TO JUST A, IS THIS STANDARD LIKE A WIRE OR JUST LIKE A GUIDELINE OR A GUIDELINE? OKAY.
SO IT'S NOT A YOU HAVE TO DO THIS RIGHT? RIGHT.
YOU'LL SEE THERE'S SOME LANGUAGE IN THERE KIND OF GIVING A CAVEAT TO THAT.
HAS EVERYONE HAD A CHANCE TO READ IT? YOU UH, GO AHEAD.
YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU WANNA TALK THROUGH ABOUT THIS? UM, YEP.
SO I'M GONNA ADD A LITTLE MORE, UM, JUST THESE STANDARDS.
[00:45:01]
THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE FEEL, HEY THIS ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE IN WRITING THAT EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD PARK GETS ONE OF THESE, UM, THEN I WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE IT HERE.UM, IT'S NOT THAT WE CAN'T DEVIATE, UM, ESPECIALLY IF A PARTICULAR COMMUNITY COULD BENEFIT FROM A CERTAIN AMENITY OR IF FOR SOME REASON WE THINK UM, YOU KNOW, ADDING SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF OUR TYPICAL COLOR SCHEME WOULD REALLY COMPLIMENT THE SURROUNDING AREA OR GO WITH THE PLAYGROUND OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
WE'RE ONLY SAYING THAT TO DEVIATE FROM THESE SHOULD BE WELL-REASONED AND UM, WE SHOULD DOCUMENT WHY WE DEVIATED FROM IT.
UM, ONE OF THE ISSUES I'VE TALKED ABOUT BENCHES A LOT MAYBE 'CAUSE THEY PARTICULARLY BOTHER ME IN OUR CARS, BUT, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE BENCHES CAME FROM, YOU KNOW, AND, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WERE CHOSEN.
UM, AND SO IF WE KIND OF JUST GO WITH ALWAYS THIS SAME COLOR SCHEME, EVEN IF THERE'S TURNOVER IN THE DEPARTMENT AND YEARS DOWN THE ROAD WE LOSE SIGHT OF WHERE THE BENCH CAME FROM.
WE KNOW WELL I CAN GET A METAL BLACK METAL BENCH THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE.
UM, AND SO BEING ABLE TO STICK TO THOSE STANDARDS, UM, IS IMPORTANT.
AND THEN IT WOULD BE WELL DOCUMENTED WHEN WE CHOSE TO DEVIATE.
SO WE GET AN ORANGE BENCH, WHY CAN WE GET AN ORANGE BENCH? WELL A YOUNG LADY CAME TO OUR PARK BOARD AND WANTED A BUDDY BENCH AT HER PARK AND HELPED FUNDRAISE FOR IT AND LEMONADE STAND AND ALL OF THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT HAPPENED AT NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS THAT WE SHOULD ABSOLUTELY SAY YES TO.
BUT IT WOULD BE DOCUMENTED WHY WE BOUGHT ONE OR BENCH FOR EXAMPLE.
IS DIAL PARK TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS EVENTUALLY OR, UM, SO I HAVE DIAL PARK AS A SPECIAL USE PARK BECAUSE OF HIS PLANS TO ADD, UM, ALL OF THE, THE PLANTINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA ADD THIS YEAR.
SO THERE'S GONNA BE OVER A HUNDRED TREES ADDED AND THEN SHOVE.
SO IT'S GONNA BE KIND OF MORE OF A PASSIVE USE LIKE NATURE.
UM, AND THAT IS A HARD, IT'S A HARD TOPIC BECAUSE I, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISAGREEMENT, UM, AMONGST THE COMMUNITY AS TO WHAT SHOULD BE AT DIAL PARK AND WHAT SHOULDN'T BE THERE.
BUT I THINK THAT THAT LENDS ITSELF TO THE DOMINANT FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED IN OUR FORMAL SURVEY THAT PEOPLE WANT, UM, TAMPERED WITH NATURE BUT, BUT THEY STILL WANT SOMETHING THAT'S KIND THE DIRECTION THAT THAT ONE'S GOING BETTER.
SO YOU'LL SEE IT AS A SPECIAL USE.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT QUESTIONS BEFORE I, I MISS NO RESTROOMS FOR HIM OFFICE.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? THAT IS MY INTENTION, UM, THAT IT IS NOT REQUIRED THAT WE HAVE RESTROOMS AT NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
IF, IF THAT'S YOU, YOU'RE THE BOARD THAT SHOULD ONLY DISAGREE WITH ME.
I THINK THAT WAS A GENERAL CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD BECAUSE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK, YOU WALK THERE AND YOU WALK BACK.
SO HE DIDN'T THINK THAT RESTROOM THERE, YOU KNOW, WOULD BE, I WANNA SAY WORTH IT BUT I, IT WOULD BE A FEASIBLE WAY TO INVEST MONEY.
SO YES, THAT ONE THINK THAT WAS KIND TOOK OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK.
SHOULD PICNIC TABLE COMMON? DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING BRIAN? OH, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THAT.
I YEARS PAST, I KNOW LIKE LAST YEAR THERE WAS A PART I PUT THERE BECAUSE THERE'S A COUPLE TEAMS HERE BY SOCCER THAT USE THAT FOR FALL SEASON.
THEY STILL USE IT, YOU KNOW, THEY CONTINUE PROBABLY GO OUT THERE I THINK MONDAY, WEDNESDAY NIGHT THAT PARKING LOT OF PLAY PARKING UP AND DOWN THE STREET.
SO, BUT WE HAVE HAD IT PASSED QUARTER THERE.
BUT I MEAN THERE'S ALL ON THERE NOW, BUT I, THERE'S NOBODY REALLY COMPLAINING ABOUT THERE NOT BEING ONE THERE.
I THINK THERE IS A COURT POT IS THERE.
SO I DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS TO REMOVE THE AREAS WHERE THERE ARE PORTA POTTIES.
UM, BUT I DID WANT TO INCLUDE IT AS A MUST HAVE STANDARD.
YOU KNOW, WE ARE EXPANDING INTO ANOTHER SEVERAL MORE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS.
UM, AND SO WE CHOOSE TO PUT IN NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS THERE.
I DIDN'T WANT TO, YOU KNOW, MARRY US TO THE IDEA THAT WE HAVE TO PUT IN COURT BODY THERE.
[00:50:03]
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? AND AS ALWAYS, THESE ARE LIVING BREATHING DOCUMENTS.THIS IS NOT ONE, UM, THAT IT GOES TO SEE COUNCIL THROUGH.
SO, UM, WE CAN THINK ABOUT IT, WE CAN AMEND IT AND THIS ONE WILL EVEN BE NEAR DONE UNTIL I ADD IN THE COMMUNITY REGIONAL SPECIAL PLENTY TIME THAT YOU, IS THERE A WAY TO INCLUDE WHAT POSSIBLE SHOULD BE USING NATIVE TREATMENT? I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL RECOMMENDATION.
I THINK ESPECIALLY NON-INVASIVE, UM, AT THE, AT MANY.
I THOUGHT WE HAD DISCUSSED THAT A COUPLE YEARS AGO THAT UH, THERE ARE SOME PLANS THAT ARE CONSIDERED INVASIVE THAT HAVEN'T MADE THE STATE LIST THOUGH.
WELL SHOULDN'T THAT BE JUST THAT WE PUT THAT PART WIDE? YES.
NOT JUST, YEAH, I WAS GONNA ADD.
YEAH, IT MUST BE A PART WIDE THING.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OKAY, WELL THANK YOU GUYS.
THAT'S WONDER THANK FOR YOUR COMMENTS THERE THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 13.
ANYBODY HAVE AN ADDITIONAL BUSINESS OR COMMENTS YOU WANT TO BRING UP? WHAT I, I JUST BECAUSE OF IT.
SOMETHING TO DO TO JUSTICE AND I UH, CA ESSENTIALLY SAYING THAT A FREEZER, THE, THAT WOULDN'T BE, THEY BOUGHT ONE TODAY BUT THEY THEY BOUGHT ONE.
YEAH, WELL THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT ONE AND THEY TOLD ME THE PRICE AND I SAID BYE.
SO I ASSUMED THAT THEY BOUGHT IT TODAY.
AND UM, SO I THINK NEXT WEEK IS
WELL HIS WIFE TOLD ME WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST.
ALRIGHT, ANY ADDITIONAL BIDDING OR ANNOUNCEMENTS OR QUESTIONS? YES SIR.
JUST REAL QUICK, LOOKING AT THE MINUTES, SEE I SAW ON THERE THAT YOU WERE STILL LOOKING FOR SOME POSSIBLE MEAT, EGG AND PRODUCE VENDORS.
DID THEY CALL YOU IF THERE'S SOMEBODY INTERESTED IN MAYBE PROVIDING WITH THOSE? YES.
AND YOUR DIRECT NUMBER? 9 3 7 2 3 7.
SO IT'S ON THAT FRONT PAGE OF RRP.
I TURNED AROUND FOLKS DOWN AT THE OFFICE AND THEY, UH, YEAH ANYWAYS, HOPEFULLY THEY'LL BE OH REALLY? I WOULD LOVE THAT.
UM, WE DID TALK TO, I DID TALK TO ONE FARMER EARLIER THIS WEEK WHO'S GONNA GIVE US A TRY ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND, UM, TO SEE IF IT'S A GOOD FIT FOR HIM MOVING FORWARD.
AND SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN BRING OUT A ON DAY.
I THINK THAT, UH, I SAW THAT THERE WAS A FOOD TRUCK RALLY ON SEPTEMBER 28TH.
AT THOMAS ABOUT PARK WE'RE AT AT ABOUT PARK THAT IS THERE GONNA BE AT THE FRONT PART WHERE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING THE, THE AMATE TYPE AREAS THAT WHERE HAVE MOST LIKELY YEP.
WE'RE GONNA SEE HOW MANY KIND OF REGISTER AND THEN TRY AND SITUATE 'EM.
UM, BUT EITHER THERE OR LIKE IN FRONT OF VETERANS MEMORIAL, SOME OF THE PARKING BUT NOT THE ENTIRE.
YEAH, I TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, NOT MEMORIAL BUT STARTING ABOUT MEETING.
SO WE SHOULD, I WAS I'M HOPING THAT YOU YOU'LL PATRONIZE THE FOOD.
WELL NO I WAS, I WAS LEAVING A DURING SCHEDULED MEETING LAST NIGHT I WAS SAYING HEY, YOU KNOW, FOR ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO RUN ON A FOOD TRUCK AROUND ON THE 28TH, SO ANYBODY WANTS TO ON THEIR WAY OUT, WANT.
SO ALL OUT THERE SCHEDULE MEETING AND THEN ALSO SOMETHING I WAS GONNA BRING UP, WE WAS TALKING ABOUT LAST YEAR, UH, ABOUT THE YOUNG LUNGS INITIATIVE, UH, BROUGHT UP.
WAS THERE ANY, HAS THERE BEEN ANY MOVEMENT ON THAT AT ALL? UM, YES AND NO.
SO I ACTUALLY HAD A DISCUSSION UM, A WEEK AGO AND THEN FOLLOWED UP ON IT EARLIER THIS WEEK WITH MY SUPERVISOR AND ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER.
UM, AND SO WE INTEND TO WRAP THAT RULE IN WITH LIKE A MORATORIUM ON MARIJUANA AS WELL IN THE PARKS, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY AGAINST THE LAW BUT SOMETIMES IT NEEDS TO BE SAID TO PEOPLE.
UM, SO YES IT IS IN THE WORKS.
MY GOAL IS THAT WE HAVE OUR PARK RULES
[00:55:01]
LOOKED AT HARD THIS FALL BY THIS GROUP.UM, SO THAT WE ARE GETTING LARGE SIGNS FOR ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PARKS.
UM, NOT LIKE A GIANT NO SMOKING SIGN BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
THE RULE SIGN THAT YOU CAN VISIT AND GO OH WOW, I CAN'T DO THAT.
AND THEN SMALLER SIGNS THAT WE CAN PLACE SPECIFICALLY FOR SMOKING AROUND THE BASEBALL DIAMONDS THAT IN.
IT WAS BECAUSE BLACK, IT WAS BROUGHT IN LAST NIGHT THAT MY, THE SCHEDULE MEETING, THE NORTHMONT PRESIDENT, SOCCER PRESIDENT WAS LIKE, HEY HERE THE PEOPLE HE RIDES THE BIGGEST OFFENDER.
COULD THEY HAVE THE NO SMOKING SIGNS THROUGHOUT? WE ONE ARE, OUR PARENTS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE BEEN LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE TELL 'EM YOU CAN'T SMOKE OUT THE FIELDS.
BUT SO WE'RE IN A BIG PUBLIC PARK AND YOU KNOW, LIKE THERE'S NO REALLY ANY SIGNAGE THAT SAYS THAT THEY CAN'T.
SO, AND EVEN THE DOGS SAYING, WE SAY YOU CAN'T DOGS ON THE FIELD BUT AT THE PARK AND AS LONG IT'S RELEASED AND THEY'RE LIKE, THEY HAVE NATURALLY NO DOGS ALLOWED IN THEIR FACILITY.
SO IT'S LIKE TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, BUT I'M JUST, WE'RE MORE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE YOUNG LUNGS IN THIS.
SO YES, I THINK WE'LL HAVE THAT IN EIGHT SOLIDIFIED BY.
ALRIGHT, JUST ONE OTHER QUESTION.
DO WE HAVE ACCESS? I MEAN THERE'S THERE LIKE A SIGN IN FRONT OF LANE THAT'S LIKE ONE OF THOSE DIGITAL SIGNS SHOW DIFFERENT.
WELL THE ONE IN FRONT OF WAYNE IS NOT OPERAS BEST TOOLS.
SO WE CAN'T INFLUENCE LIKE WHAT THEY SHOW.
THAT'S WAY KIND GET THE COMMUNITY KIND OF IDEA.
WE TRYING TO GET INFORMATION ON YOU GUYS LIKE THAT.
WHAT ABOUT THE, THE SIGN'S OVER THERE BY HOT BURRITOS? THE BIG ONE IN MIDDLE? THAT ONE WE CAN, WE CAN DO, YEP.
THERE'S A LIMITED AMOUNT OF NON-PROFIT SPACE YOU'RE ALLOWED TO USE FOR THAT.
ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? IF NOT, THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM 14.
HAS EVERYONE GOT A CHANCE TO READ THE MINUTES? THERE WAS EMAILED.
AND RACHEL, HAVE YOU READY SINCE YOU BEING HERE TONIGHT? I HAVE, YES.
ALRIGHT, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR CORRECTIONS FOR THE MINUTES? IF NOT, I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND THAT THE MINUTES BE APPROVED.
