[ AGENDA PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road October 17, 2024 6:30 P.M.]

DID YOU CALL ME MR. AND D HILL? YES.
I'M LIKE I DIDN'T THINK I HEARD MY NAME.
UM, DO WE HAVE ANY OF THOSE THAT DID NOT HAVE AN, UH, AUTHORIZED CAPTAIN T NO.
SO I WAS INFORMED OF EVERYONE'S ABSENCE.
UH, WELL I WAS INFORMED OF RON'S ABSENCE.
UM, I WAS INFORMED OF JUSTICE'S ABSENCE AND OF RICHARD'S ABSENCE.
SO I DIDN'T HEAR FROM CHRIS HALL, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF PERHAPS CHRIS AT THE Y DID.
'CAUSE HE'S ON VACATION, SO HE MIGHT COME SEE HIS EMAIL.
SO, UM, IF YOU WANT TO VOTE TO EXCUSE, WE CAN ALWAYS AMEND AND VOTE TO EXCUSE CHRIS HALL NEXT TIME TOO.
DO I HAVE A MOTION TO EXCUSE CHRIS HALL FROM THIS MEETING? NO.
SO, MOTION TO EXCUSE JUSTICE RICHARD.
BRIAN, JUSTICE RICHARD, BRIAN, WHO ELSE TOLD ME? AND RON I'LL MOVE, MOVE DO EXCUSE.
I HAVE, HAVE A, DO I HAVE A SECOND? ALL SECOND.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? EXCUSING THOSE A.
THANK YOU THAT, SIR, WE TAKE CARE OF THAT FOR US THEN.
AND WE CAN ALWAYS AMEND TWO IN THE FUTURE.
ITEM THREE, UH, OPENING REMARKS BY THE CHAIR AND, UH, I HAVE NONE AT THIS TIME.
I WILL MAKE MY COMMENTS ABOUT THE, UH, RFP PROPOSAL THAT WE WORKED WITH SARAH ON LATER ON.
AT THIS TIME WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ITEM FOUR ON THE AGENDA, AND THAT IS CITIZEN COMMENTS.
AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE, UH, MR. CHRISTOPHER MOORE, WHO'S OUR VOLUNTEER, WORKING WITH THE BOARD.
AND I'D LIKE TO HAVE CHRIS SIT UP AND TELL US WHAT SCHOOL YOU GO TO, UH, WHAT YOUR PLANS ARE, AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF THERE.
YEAH, RIGHT THERE ON US IN THE MIC.
SO, UM, MY NAME IS CHRISTOPHER MOORE.
I'M A, UH, 16-YEAR-OLD WHO, UH, ATTENDS THE DAYTON REGIONAL STEM SCHOOL, WHERE I'M A, UH, I'M AN 11TH GRADER.
UH, SO OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL I'M A, UH, BOY SCOUT AND TROOP 1 6 9 OVER AT ST.
PETER, WORKING ON MY EAGLE SCOUT AT THE MOMENT.
I DO VOLLEYBALL AND I'LL BE DOING WRESTLING THIS YEAR AS WELL.
UM, THE REASON WHY I WAS INTERESTED IN BEING A VOLUNTEER FOR THIS BOARD WAS BECAUSE I BELIEVE I COULD HAVE SOME VALUABLE INPUT, UH, THAT, UM, THE YOUTH PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS.
I BELIEVE THAT I COULD, UH, SHOWCASE THAT TO YOU GUYS AND, UH, HOPEFULLY INFORM YOU ON WHAT, UH, THESE ISSUES ARE TO THE YOUTH AND WHAT, UM, THE YOUTH WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN HUBER HEIGHTS.
UM, AS FOR MORE ABOUT MYSELF IN THE FUTURE, UH, I'D LIKE TO GO TO COLLEGE, PROBABLY EITHER ENGINEER OR, UM, DOCTOR OF SOME SORT, BUT YEAH.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM? OKAY, THANK YOU.
I'M SURE YOUR PARENTS WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOU TALK ABOUT ENGINEERING AND DOCTORS AND SO FORTH.
UH, GREAT CAREER FIELD, EITHER ONE.
YEAH, I, UM, I'M, I'M REALLY GOOD AT MATH AND SCIENCE.
I DON'T LIKE ENGLISH, BUT I'M REALLY GOOD AT MATH AND SCIENCE.
I WANNA DO SOMETHING IN THOSE FIELDS.
WELL, THAT'S APPROPRIATE BECAUSE I'M AN ENGINEER AND WE HATE ENGLISH THEN WHEN
WE ARE GONNA GO NOW TO, UH, OLD BUSINESS AT THIS TIME WE'RE GONNA START WITH THE, UH, YMCA UPDATE.
DO WE HAVE ANYTHING FROM YOU? UH, SARAH, UM, I CAN GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON THE SENIOR CENTER.
IT IS, UM, THE CONSTRUCTION UP THERE AND THE FORMER SINCLAIR SITE IS MOVING ALONG NICELY.
UM, THEY DO STILL ANTICIPATE THAT THE SENIORS WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE IN AT THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER.
UM, RIGHT NOW THEY HAVE POURED SOME NEW, UM, CEMENT
[00:05:01]
SIDEWALKS OUT THERE AND SEAL CODE OF THE PARKING LOT.AND SO YOU ARE STARTING TO BEGIN TO SEE THE TRANSITION FROM THE OUTSIDE AS WELL.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU THE INSIDE IS ALSO COMING ALONG NICELY.
UM, THEY ANTICIPATE IT BEING EVEN READY FOR OCCUPANCY FOR MY OFFICE UP THERE IN THE COMING COUPLE OF WEEKS, SO EARLY NOVEMBER.
SO THAT WILL BE NICE TO BE IN THERE AND GET A FEEL FOR THINGS AND, UM, LOOK AT ALL THE THINGS WE MIGHT STILL NEED.
SO THAT'S COMING ALONG VERY NICELY AND THE YMCA STAFF HAS ALL BEEN AMAZING THROUGH THAT PROCESS.
AND THEN, YEAH, THAT'S ALL I HAVE FROM THEM THOUGH.
NO QUE REGARDING NUMBER TWO, THAT THE CITY UPDATE.
SO MY UPDATE, JUST LIKE ALEX, UM, WILL BE LARGELY ON THE, UM, CLOUD PARK RFP PROCESS AND THEN SOME OF THE OTHER UPDATES.
BUT I CAN GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON SHO GATE PARK.
RIGHT NOW THEY HAVE SET THE, UM, WELL I HAVE TO DRIVE BY AND SEE ON MY WAY HOME, BUT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SET THE FINAL PIECES OF THE PLAYGROUND TODAY IN CEMENT.
UM, THEY WERE WORKING ON THAT THIS AFTERNOON WHEN I WENT BY.
AND THEN THEY NEED HIGHER NIGHTTIME TEMPERATURES TO DO THE POURED IN PLACE SURFACING.
THEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE THIS WEEK, SO THEY'RE LOOKING AT NEXT WEEK TO DO THAT.
UM, I HAVE ASKED COUNSEL IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO A RIBBON CUTTING.
UM, I ANTICIPATE THAT THEY MIGHT WANNA DO THAT.
IF THEY DON'T, I STILL THINK AS A BOARD WE COULD GO UP THERE AND JUST TAKE A LOOK AND, AND SEE, YOU KNOW, HOW PRETTY IT IS.
ONE EVENING, MAYBE IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD.
UM, BUT IT IS, IT IS PRETTY, WE WILL SAY THAT.
UM, SO OTHER THAN SHUL GATE, THE FARMER'S MARKET IS WRAPPING UP.
WE HAVE OUR LAST TWO WEEKENDS OF THAT THIS SATURDAY.
AND THEN THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY, UM, WE DID HAVE A FOOD TRUCK RALLY SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER THAT WAS UNFORTUNATELY RAINED OUT WHEN WE GOT THAT, UH, PIECE OF THE HURRICANE THAT CAME THROUGH.
AND WE'RE GONNA TRY AND REDO THAT ON NOVEMBER 2ND.
SO YOU SHOULD SEE MARKETING MATERIALS GOING OUT FOR THAT SOON.
UM, THERE'S A LOT OF REALLY DELICIOUS TRUCKS COMING FROM NOON TO SEVEN.
SO IF YOU'RE THE TYPE OF PERSON TO GO GET TAKEOUT OR FIND A PARK BENCH TO SIT AND HAVE YOUR LUNCH, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY GO TO THAT EVENT.
UM, THAT IS KIND OF WRAPPING UP THE PROGRAMMING FOR THE SEASON UNTIL WE GET TO THE TREE LIGHTING THAT THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION BOARD CHAMPIONS.
UM, THEY HAVE A LOT OF AWESOME THINGS PLANNED, SO AS MORE OF THAT GETS CLOSER, I'LL REPORT ON THAT TOO.
AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR YOU.
ANY, ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS ON THE CITY UPDATES? ALRIGHT, THEN WE GO RIGHT ON TO THE NEXT ITEM THEN SARAH.
SO, UM, THE CLOUD PARK RFP PROCESS, UM, I HAD A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO MEET TWICE WITH, UM, JUSTICE AND ALEX AND TALK THROUGH ALL OF THE FIRMS THAT WE HAD SUBMIT PROPOSALS.
WE ARE GONNA PROCEED WITH MAKING A RECOMMENDATION, UM, FOR MSA, WHICH, UM, IS A FIRM THAT BOTH ALEX AND JUSTICE HAD AT THE TOP OF THEIR LIST.
UM, WE DID A, AN INTERVIEW WITH THEM AND THEY SEEMED TO, UH, WE HAD A LOT OF FIRMS THAT HIT A LOT OF THE MARKS, BUT THEY SEEMED TO EXCEED QUITE A FEW OF THEM.
UM, AND WE WERE MOST INTERESTED IN THEIR, UM, EXEMPLIFIED CREATIVITY AT SOME OF THEIR PAST PARKS.
SO, UM, THAT IS OUR RECOMMENDATION.
OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING'S SUBJECT TO COUNCIL APPROVAL.
UM, WE WILL BE TAKING THAT RECOMMENDATION.
I SAY WE, BECAUSE I'M HOPING ALEX AND OR JUSTICE WILL COME WITH ME, UM, TO COUNSEL AT THE NOVEMBER MEETING.
AND SO THAT MEETING IS THE WORK SESSION, UM, I BELIEVE IS THE 12TH.
AND THEN THE COUNCIL MEETING ITSELF WILL BE THE 18TH WHERE THEY WILL VOTE ON IT.
THAT'S NOVEMBER THE 12TH? YES.
NO, DON'T WE ALSO HAVE A, I HAVE INVITED THAT FIRM TOO TO GIVE A PRESENTATION, YOU SEE.
UM, AND I'M HOPEFUL THAT THEY, UM, WILL MAKE THIS MEETING AS WELL NEXT MONTH.
WHICH DOES UNFORTUNATELY FALL AFTER COUNSEL.
UM, BUT THAT WAY WE CAN KIND OF BE THE FIRST TO OFFICIALLY TALK TO THEM.
DON'T WE ALSO HAVE A, UH, REPORT TO COUNSEL THERE NEXT MONTH? YES.
[00:10:01]
THAT'S, I THINK YOU'RE TYPICALLY THE FIRST MEETING.SO I'LL HAVE TO CONFIRM THAT THEY WANT TO MOVE YOU TO THE SECOND MEETING.
BECAUSE THE FIRST MEETING IS, SO YOU'RE DONE CANCELED.
YOU'RE SAYING DO BOTH MEETING AT THE SAME TIME PRESENT THE UH, RFP RECOMMENDATION AND, AND YOUR UPDATE AT THE SAME TIME? I THINK SO.
LET ME CONFIRM THAT WITH TONY.
WHAT WE WERE DISCUSSING THAT WE HAVE A REPORT, IF YOU KNOW, TWICE A MONTH TO CITY COUNCIL AND UM, WE DID THE LAST ONE, I THINK IT WAS IN MARCH AND WE SUPPOSED TO DO ANOTHER ONE NEXT MONTH IN NOVEMBER.
SO WHAT SARAH SUGGESTED THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING TWO MEETINGS, WE COME TO THEM FOR ONE WORK SECTION AND COME BACK THE NEXT MEETING FOR THE RFP RECOMMENDATION.
DO IT ALL AT THE SAME TIME AND THERE'S ONLY ONE MEETING IN NOVEMBER.
TYPICALLY THERE'S TWO, THEY'VE CONDENSED IT TO ONE.
SO I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT THEY'LL WANT TO DO ANYWAY.
IF NOT, BUMP IN DECEMBER, BUT I'LL ADVOCATE FOR US COME AT ONE TIME.
AND I WILL LET THE COUNSELOR, I MEAN THE BOARD KNOW, UH, WHAT WE ARE GOING TO, WHAT TOPIC WE ARE GOING TO PRESENT AND ALSO GIVE YOU THE FEEDBACK AFTER THE, THE BOARD MEETING COMPLIMENT.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON THE RFP PROCESS.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE RFP PROCESS? THAT WILL BE, IT WILL BE ONCE AWARDED AND WE START MOVING.
UH, IT WILL HIGHLY INVOLVE ALL OF YOU AND YOUR INPUT AND YOUR FEEDBACK EVERY STEP OF THE WAY FROM, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE ISSUES I CONSTANTLY COME ACROSS IS, IS IT CLOUD PARK, IS IT TOM CLOUD PARK AND THE THOMAS A CLOUD MEMORIAL PARK.
UM, AND SO WE PROBABLY, THEY'LL COLLOQUIALLY, I'M SURE PEOPLE WILL KEEP SAYING WHATEVER THEY WANT TO, WE NEED TO KNOW HOW WE'RE GONNA WRITE THAT AND DISPLAY IT AND, AND THAT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT WE NEED YOUR INPUT ON.
UM, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO WHAT COLORS ARE WE MAKING, THE SPLASH PAD TOYS AND, UM, EVERYTHING ALONG THE WAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UM, BEFORE GO AHEAD.
SHE'LL TALK IF JUSTIN CAN'T MAKE ONE OF THOSE, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO NOT.
YOU CAN JUST LEAVE IT ON TOO THE WHOLE TIME.
UNLESS YOU'RE WORRIED IF JUSTICE CAN'T MAKE ONE OF THOSE, LET ME KNOW AND I CAN OH, ABSOLUTELY.
SO FROM THIS POINT ON, UM, IT SHOULD BE MOSTLY MUCH LARGER GROUPS.
NOW I THINK I'M OFFICIALLY DONE.
THAT TAKES CARE OF OUR OLD BUSINESS.
WE ARE NOW GOING TO THE NEW BUSINESS THERE.
AT THIS POINT WE'RE GONNA GO TO ITEM SIX ONE TO REVIEW THE 2025 BOARD LED PROGRAM EVENTS.
OH YEAH, SORRY, THAT'S THE WRONG LEAD BOARD LED BOARD LED BOARD OPIATE, THAT'S AN ACRONYM.
THERE'S NOT A GOOD SPELL CHECK IN THIS SOFTWARE WORD WOULD'VE GOT THAT LEAD LIKE LEADER.
SO I WANTED TO CIRCLE BACK TO THE PROGRAMS THAT WE TOUCHED ON A LITTLE BIT LAST TIME, UM, TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE DEFINITELY WANNA DO AND WHAT I HAVE IS THE TREE GIVEAWAY.
UM, AND IT WAS MADE MENTION THAT PERHAPS WE'D ADD LIKE A SHRUB OR A NATIVE PLANT OR SOMETHING FOR MAYBE HOUSEHOLDS THAT CAN'T ACCOMMODATE A TREE.
UM, THEN AFTER THAT GOING IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER, WE HAVE APIC A SPRING SUMMER PICKLE BALL.
THE OTHER ITEM THAT I THINK WAS LESS CONFIRMED IS THAT JUSTICE HAD WANTED TO, UM, BRING IN A CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINER CALLED THE LITTLE MERMAN.
UM, I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THEM.
THEY BASICALLY ARE A DISNEY COVER BAND.
SO THEY'LL COME OUT AND THEY'RE AERIAL AND THEN THE NEXT TIME THEY'RE WINNIE THE POO, OR I DON'T KNOW IF WINNIE POOH SINGS ANY SONGS, BUT, UM, AND THEY, THEY PUT ON QUITE THE PERFORMANCE.
SO I KNOW IT DRAWS, UM, HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN.
UH, THEY DO COME TO SPRINGBORO AND THEY'RE NATIONALLY TOURING.
I HAVE REACHED OUT PRELIMINARILY AND THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN GET US SOMEWHERE IN JULY.
UM, SO I WAS JUST GONNA FOLLOW UP AND CONTINUE FOLLOWING UP ON THAT IF YOU GUYS WERE STILL IN FAVOR OF THAT.
AFTER THAT WE'LL HAVE OUR FALL PICKLEBALL.
AND THEN THAT IS REALLY ALL THAT I HAD, UM, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE MIGHT CONTINUE TO HAVE OUR BOOTHS AT BOTH OF THE TRUNK RETREATS THAT WE PARTICIPATED IN THIS YEAR.
SO A BOOTH AT, UM, THE HUBER HUNTS AND A BOOTH
[00:15:01]
AT THE YMCA.UM, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A BOOTH SPEAKING OF THAT AT THE YMCA THIS SUNDAY FOR THAT TRUNK RETREAT.
IF ANYONE IS AVAILABLE TO VOLUNTEER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT TIME OF THAT.
UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME THEY'LL WANT US TO SET UP, SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO EMAIL ON THAT.
BUT I THINK THE EVENT AT ITSELF DOES IT START AT SEVEN? SIX SIX.
I CAN HELP WITH SETUP AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA TRUNK OR TREAT? YES.
I'LL MAKE A POINT OF BEING DEAD IN.
SO JUST TELL ME WHAT TIME AND GREAT, GREAT.
I'LL SEND IT OUT TO EVERYBODY WHAT TIME AND IF YOU WANNA COME AND YOU CAN MAKE IT AND THEN YOU CAN MAKE IT.
UM, AND THEN THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT I MISSED FROM THAT RUNDOWN BEFORE I START PUTTING A LITTLE BIT MORE IN MOTION BUDGETARILY FOR THESE ITEMS? UM, AND THEN I IMAGINE NEXT MEETING WE'LL NEED TO TALK, START TALKING DATES.
CHRIS HAD A, UH, BASKETBALL EVENT THAT HE TRIED TO DO LAST YEAR THAT FELL APART AND I'M NOT SURE BECAUSE UH, HE COULDN'T FIND A FACILITY IN UH, HUBERT TO DO IT, BUT I THOUGHT HE WAS WORKING WITH VANDALIA.
SOMETHING LIKE THE, LIKE THE, UH, FLYING TO THE HOOP OR SOMETHING.
SUPPOSED TO BEEN A BUNCH OF BUT THE SMALLER KIDS, YOUNGER KIDS.
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THAT? DID ANYONE KNOW? I THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE NUMBER OF THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO REGISTER.
BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER FOR SURE.
I THINK THAT HAPPENED AS WELL.
SO SINCE HE'S NOT HERE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO ASSUME THAT HE HAS NO INTEREST IN TRYING TO DO THAT AGAIN THEN.
UM, HE, WELL HE WAS HERE LAST TIME TOO AND DIDN'T BRING IT UP.
THEN I WON'T BRING IT UP ANYMORE THEN.
DAN, ANY QUESTIONS? I'M JUST SPIT BALLING HERE.
SO, A FEW YEARS BACK, AND THIS WAS PROBABLY MORE LIKE 10 YEARS BACK, UM, THE MAYOR AT THE TIME DID AN EVENT FOR DISC GOLF WHERE, UM, WHERE IT WAS OPENED TO A CERTAIN NUMBER OF KIDS AND EVERY SINGLE KID THAT SIGNED UP GOT A DISC, GOLF DISC, GOLF DISC AND WERE ABLE TO COME OUT TO, UM, TO COMMUNITY AND PLAY AROUND AND LIKE THEY WORKED WITH, UH, THE DAYTON DIS GOLF ASSOCIATION.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO.
UM, YOU KNOW, SO WE'VE GOT JULY AND POSSIBLY JUNE, LIKE MAYBE MAY OR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU'D WANNA CHAMPION FOR THESE EVENTS? ABSOLUTELY.
UM, I KNOW THAT, I KNOW THAT YOU CAN GET DISCOUNTED PRICES THROUGH, UM, HAZY SHADE, WHICH IS OUT ON WATER VOLITE.
SO, UM, YEAH, I CAN JAM IN THAT.
SO JUST 'CAUSE THEY, FOR THESE ONES I EACH I KINDA HAVE SOMEBODY TAPPED TO SURE.
BE SECONDARY TO ME, YOU KNOW, SHOULD I FALL AND BREAK AN ANKLE THAT
THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE THAT CAN, YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
WOULD THAT, WOULD THAT EVENT BE BETTER DONE ON THE SEVENTH, 20 KIDS OUTTA SCHOOL OR YES.
WELL YOU, I MEAN, YOU COULD DO IT ON, IT WAS DONE ON A WEEKEND THE LAST TIME THAT I, THEY DID IT.
SO, I MEAN, ANYTIME WOULD BE FINE, BUT PROBABLY WHEN THEY'RE OUTTA SCHOOL WOULD BE BETTER BECAUSE THEN IT WOULD JUST BE MORE AVAILABLE ABILITY FOR EVERYBODY.
ALSO, THE WEATHER WOULD BE BETTER.
SO, AND IT WAS PROBABLY MORE OF LIKE A, A LEARNED HOW TO DO IT RATHER THAN LIKE A TOURNAMENT.
OKAY, SO WITH THAT, WOULD IT MAKE SENSE TO DO MORE OF LIKE A FIELD DAY SINCE IT'S MORE OF A LEARN HOW TO DO IT AND KIND OF INCORPORATE OTHER ACTIVITIES INTO THE MIX? LIKE YOU COULD, UM, I'LL HAVE TO ASK MY WIFE EXACTLY WHAT ALL HAPPENED.
'CAUSE I WAS WORKING THAT DAY.
MY, BUT MY WIFE TOOK MY KIDS AND THEY JUST REALLY ENJOYED IT.
UM, SO I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT ALL HAPPENED BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE LIKE A SECTION FOR THE DISC GOLF.
A BIG EVENT FOR THE ENTIRE PARK OF THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN DO HERE, FIELD DAY KIND OF EVENT.
YEAH, I THINK YOU COULD DO THAT FOR SURE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK CHRISTOPHER? UH, SO I ACTUALLY WENT TO THAT EVENT, UH, WHEN IT HAPPENED.
HIM AND I STILL, UH, PLAYED DISC GOLF EVERY NOW AND THEN.
BUT BACK WHEN THAT HAPPENED, UM, IT'S A GREAT IDEA TO INCORPORATE MORE, UM, ACTIVITIES TO THE MIX JUST IN CASE SOME KIDS DON'T FIND DISC GOLF AS ENTERTAINING AS OTHERS.
I'D IMAGINE KICKBALL WOULD BE MORE APPEALING TO, UH, THE YOUNGER KIDS, LIKE AGES LIKE SIX TO 10 WOULD DEFINITELY PREFER KICKBALL AND OPPOSED TO DISC GOLF.
[00:20:01]
AS I RECALL FROM WHAT IT WAS, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WERE ANY OTHER EVENTS.I BELIEVE IT WAS JUST STRICTLY DISC GOLF AND IT WAS, UH, LED IN A GROUP WHERE YOU JUST ALL LEARNED HOW TO PLAY DISC GOLF.
AND THEN WE GOT, UH, PARTICIPATION, UH, DISC, GOLF DISC AND THEN WE ALSO, UH, ENTERED A RAFFLE WHICH GAVE YOU MORE HIGH QUALITY DISC GOLF OR DISCS TO USE.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IT WAS? I BELIEVE IT WAS, IT HAD TO HAVE BEEN A WEEKEND OR A SUMMER OR BREAK OF SOME SORT.
IF I WENT, I, IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO, BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS A, I BELIEVE IT WAS A WEEKEND.
IF I DO REMEMBER SOMETIME IN FALL ROUGHLY MAYBE.
SO EVERYBODY LOOK AT YOUR CALENDARS.
SO WE HAVE A PERSON TO CHAIR THAT GROUP FOR YOU.
THEN HOW EVERY DAY, RIGHT THERE HE IS.
THANKS TO CHRIS FOR YOUR INPUTS.
UH, ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON ITEM SIX ONE THERE, WHAT WE ARE NOW? RIGHT.
NO OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? WE GOING TO NUMBER TWO THEN.
THE REGIONAL PARK STANDARDS REVIEW.
DO YOU HAVE A, HAVE A COPY OF AGENDA THAT, UH, CHRISTOPHER, THERE'S A COPY OVER HERE ON THE END DOWN THERE AND THEN SNAG THIS ON YOUR RIGHT BACK TOO.
SO YOU PROBABLY RECOGNIZE THIS DOCUMENT BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME ONE I'VE BEEN BRINGING EVERY TIME, BUT IT'S JUST NOW UPDATED.
SO IF YOU TURN, UM, TO THE THIRD PAGE, WE BEGIN OUR REGIONAL PARK STANDARDS.
UM, SO OUR REGIONAL PARKS ARE A LARGE PARKS FREQUENTED BY VISITORS FROM HUBER HEIGHTS AND THE SURROUNDING REGION.
THEY OFTEN HAVE A UNIQUE AMENITY OR ACTIVE OPERATION THAT ATTRACTS PEOPLE FROM GREATER DISTANCES.
THE PARKS ARE OFTEN WHAT OUTSIDE VISITORS ENVISION WHEN THEY THINK OF THE HUBER HEIGHTS COMMUNITY.
SO I HAVE LISTED HERE THOMAS CLOUD, THE ROSE MUSIC CENTER, MONITA KIN SKATE PARK, AND THE RECREATION CENTER, WHICH IS UP WHERE THE EEL BERG IS.
UM, IT INCLUDES THE AQUATICS CENTER AND THE EEL BERGER AMPHITHEATER.
UM, IN THAT FOOTPRINT, I GUESS I COULD LIST THE AQUATICS CENTER OUTRIGHT TOO FOR CLARITY.
THEN IF YOU TURN THE PAGE TO THE LAST PAGE, UM, COMMON FEATURES OF THESE PARKS WOULD INCLUDE GREEN SPACE, TYPICALLY LARGER GREEN SPACE, UM, ACTIVE PROGRAMMING AND OPERATIONS, TRASH CANS, RESTROOM FACILITIES, BIKE PARKING, AND LARGER CAR PARKING.
UM, THE FACILITIES MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE MUCH TO OFFER IMP PASSIVE PROGRAMMING.
UM, SO IF YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T GO TO THE AQUATIC CENTER ANY TIME OF YEAR AND DO MUCH, IT HAS TO BE OPEN.
UM, THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE OPERATION TAKING PLACE THERE OUTSIDE OF ACTIVELY PROGRAMMED TIMES, AMENITIES LIKE WALKING TRAILS, PICNIC TABLES, BENCHES AND TRASH CANS MAY STILL SEE FREQUENT COMMUNITY USE.
UM, OUR ACTIVE PROGRAM GUIDELINES FOR THIS PARK, THESE PARKS SHALL HAVE AN EXPANSIVE AND ACTIVE PROGRAM LOAD THAT MAY BE ORCHESTRATED BY THE CITY OR BY APPROVED USERS SUCH AS YOUTH SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS OR EVENT ORGANIZERS.
THESE PARKS ARE PROGRAMMED OFTEN AND HIGHLY VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC FOR MAINTENANCE STANDARDS.
THE GREEN SPACE IS MAINTAINED EITHER IN-HOUSE OR BY CONTRACTOR.
IT'S MOWED AND TRIMMED TWO TIMES A WEEK AS NEEDED.
ANNUAL PLANTING SHOULD AUGMENT BEDS AND FEATURE, UM, AND FEATURES AS IS SUSTAINABLE WITH WATER ACCESS AND MAINTENANCE ABILITY.
UNIQUE DEVIATION AND DESIGN AND DECOR IS EXPECTED BETWEEN THESE PARKS.
UM, SO IF WE'RE TRYING TO BY VERY SIMILAR LOOKING BENCHES AND TRASH CANS ACROSS OUR OTHER PARKS, THIS IS WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE, YOU MIGHT WALK INTO IT AND NOT FEEL LIKE EVERY OTHER PARK.
UM, SO AS CURRENTLY THERE IS, EVEN THOUGH NOT UNIFORMITY WITHIN THESE PARKS, SO AS AMENITIES ARE REPLACED, EFFORTS WILL BE MADE TO PROVIDE UNIFORMITY IN THE SELECTION OF BENCHES, TRASH CANS AND PICNIC TABLES WITHIN A PARK.
THOUGH THESE, I SHOULD PROBABLY PUNCTUATE THAT.
HMM, THOUGH THESE MAY BE QUITE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PARKS DUE TO THE UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES OF A REGIONAL PARK.
SO IF WE'RE GONNA PUT IN RED TRASH CANS AT COMMUNITY PARK, THEN THEY'RE ALL, OR AT, I'M SORRY, CLOUD PARK, THEN THEY'RE ALL GONNA BE RED TRASH CANS THERE EVENTUALLY.
BUT THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WE WOULD HAVE RED TRASH CANS AT ANY OTHER PARK IN THE SYSTEM.
UM, SIGNAGE STANDARDS PARK HOURS SHALL BE POSTED.
ANY SHELTER STRUCTURES AVAILABLE FOR RENT SHALL HAVE INFORMATION ON THE RESERVATION PROCEDURES.
A GENERAL INFORMATION SIGN WITH DEPARTMENT CONTACT INFORMATION WILL BE POSTED NEAR THE
[00:25:01]
MAIN PARK.GENERALLY LARGER RULE SIGNS ARE NEAR AREAS OF HIGH PASSIVE USE, BUT WE DON'T REALLY WANT THOSE TO BE THE FOCAL POINTS IN OUR PROGRAMMED AREAS UNLESS NEEDED FOR SAFETY.
SO IF YOU CAN IMAGINE WALKING INTO THE ROWS AND THE FIRST THING YOU SEE IS A GIANT BILLBOARD OF EVERYTHING YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO, THAT'S NOT EXACTLY THE VIBE THAT WE WANNA GIVE OUT.
WE WANT PEOPLE TO ENJOY THEMSELVES.
THEY WILL BE POSTED SOMEWHERE, UM, PERHAPS IF NEEDED.
UH, THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THAT I WOULD SAY IS LIKE THE AQUATIC CENTER.
WE'RE LIKE, IT'S KIND OF IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THOSE THINGS POSTED.
FOR SAFETY, UM, I WENT AHEAD AND GAVE THIS OTHER CATEGORY TWO THAT I'M LOOKING AT, UM, WRITING FOR NEXT TIME.
AND THIS WOULD BE OUR SPECIAL USE PARK.
SO THESE EVEN HAVE EVEN MORE VARIANCE THAN THE REGIONAL PARKS BECAUSE THEY'RE CANAL LOCK FLYER FIELD DIAL PARK, THE LAND SURROUNDING THE SENIOR CENTER, UM, AND THE LAND SURROUNDING THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
SO, UM, I'M GONNA WRITE UP SOME WORDS ABOUT THOSE.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THERE'S LOTS OF DEVIATION.
I DID FIND OUT THAT CANAL LOCK IS ON THE NATIONAL HISTORIC REGISTER.
I ANYBODY KNEW THAT? 'CAUSE IT WAS DONE IN LIKE 1981 AND THERE'S NO SIGN.
ANY QUESTIONS AS ALWAYS, I UNDERSTAND YOU NEED TO DIGEST THIS.
I LOVE WHEN I GET EMAILS TWO DAYS LATER OF, HEY ACTUALLY I HATE THIS SENTENCE.
OR HEY, UM, I THINK WE NEED TO DO THIS INSTEAD OF THAT BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME SEEING IT.
AND ONCE I HAVE THIS ENTIRE MAINTENANCE DOCUMENT, UH, STANDARDS DOCUMENT COMPILED, I'LL BRING IT BACK TO YOU ALL FOR A FINAL LOOK OVER.
ANY OTHER ACTION YOU NEED FROM US ON THIS OTHER THAN JUST TO REVIEW IT AND GIVE COMMENTS? YEP.
AND AS YOU KNOW, TYPOS ARE A THING.
I, EVERY GOOD WRITER NEEDS A GOOD EDITOR, RIGHT? I, OKAY, NO OTHER QUESTION ON ITEM SIX TWO, THEN WE ARE GOING TO SIX THREE, THE COST RECOVERY AND ACTIVITIES.
OKAY? I'M GONNA DEMAND PARTICIPATION OUT OF ALL OF YOU.
SO I HOPE YOU WEAR YOUR PARTICIPATION HATS.
UM, THERE ARE EXACTLY SIX OF YOU, SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU SHOULD GET IN GROUPS OF TWO.
UM, IT'S, WE ARE SET UP TO BE AT THAT MEDIA TABLE OVER THERE BY THE COMPUTERS, AND THEN THE TABLE CHRISTOPHER IS SITTING AT, SOMEONE CAN JOIN HIM AND THEN THE BACK TABLE SO THAT THERE'S A LITTLE ROOM IN BETWEEN YOU.
BUT LET ME TELL YOU WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO.
UM, EVERYTHING THAT THE CITY PARKS DEPARTMENT DOES COST MONEY AND IT COSTS TAXPAYER MONEY OFTEN.
UM, HOWEVER, THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO RECOVER SOME OF OUR COSTS.
FOR EXAMPLE, WE CHARGE A MODERATE RATE FOR OUR SHELTER RENTALS.
UM, WE CHARGE OUTDOOR EVENT, EXTERNAL EVENT ORGANIZERS, UH, FOR THE AMENITIES THEY, THEY REQUIRE FROM US, YOU KNOW, SUCH AS STAFF TIME AND PORTA-POTTIES AND TRASH TOTERS AND THAT SORT OF THING.
SO, UM, THERE ARE FEES ASSOCIATED WITH WHAT WE DO AND AS WE BEGIN MOVING INTO MORE PROGRAMMING, UM, THERE'S EVEN MORE OPPORTUNITY TO RECOVER SOME COSTS.
SO ALL OF THIS IS KIND OF BASED ON THE THEORY OF WHERE WE WANT TO INVEST OUR COMMUNITY ASSETS.
SO, UM, LET'S USE A NICE EVEN NUMBER.
IF WE HAVE A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OF TAX REVENUE FUNDING, THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, I NEED YOUR HELP IN DECIDING WHAT WE FUND MORE WITH THAT TAX MONEY AND WHAT WE SHOULD REALLY ONLY DO IF IT'S RECOVERING SOME OF ITS COST.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PUTTING ANY PERCENTAGES OR ANY DOLLAR AMOUNTS TO ANYTHING.
BUT YOU'RE GONNA GET TO THIS TABLE WITH YOUR PARTNER AND YOU'RE GONNA SEE A SLIP, UM, A STACK OF SLIPS OF PAPER AND IT'S GONNA HAVE ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE CURRENTLY DO, UM, OR ARE LOOKING TO GROW INTO DOING AS A DEPARTMENT.
AND I NEED YOU TO PUT THEM IN ORDER FROM WHAT WE SHOULD SUBSIDIZE THE MOST TO WHAT WE SHOULD BE SUBSIDIZING THE LEAST.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, YOU'LL SEE THAT JUST PARKLAND IS ON THERE.
SO YOU'LL HAVE TO DECIDE PARKLAND, ITS EXISTENCE, IT'S BEING MOWED, IT'S, UM, MONEY TO MAINTAIN IT.
MAYBE WE'RE, YOU KNOW, TRIMMING, MAYBE WE'RE REMOVING TREES, MAYBE WE'RE PLANTING TREES.
IF WE'RE SELLING T-SHIRTS AT A CONCERT OR A FESTIVAL AND SODA AND UH, HOT DOGS, WHICH OF THOSE SHOULD THE TAXPAYERS BE, UM, SUBSIDIZING MORE
[00:30:01]
THAN THE OTHER, IF AT ALL? SO AGAIN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PERCENTAGES, BUT I'D LIKE YOU GUYS TO LOOK AT EACH OF THOSE AND HAVE A DISCUSSION.PUT THEM IN ORDER FROM MOST SUBSIDIZED TO LEASE SUBSIDIZED.
UM, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA ROTATE YOU ALL AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SHARE WHAT YOUR LAST GROUP THOUGHT AND SEE IF YOU CAN COME TO A NEW AGREEMENT, BECAUSE I MIGHT HAVE JUST GIVEN YOU TWO EASY ONES IN THINKING THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE SUBSIDIZING SOMEONE'S HOT DOG VERY MUCH, BUT WE SHOULD SUBSIDIZE THE PARK.
BUT TRUST ME, EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN THERE GETS A LOT MORE DIFFICULT.
UM, SO THAT'S WHERE THE CONVERSATION IS GONNA COME OUT.
AND I'LL WANDER AROUND AND HELP AND THEN I'LL ASK AFTER WE ROTATE ONE TIME THOSE NEW GROUPS, EVERYONE TO SHARE ON THE DIOCESE, KIND OF WHAT DID YOU ARGUE OVER? WHAT DID YOU DISAGREE ABOUT? UM, WHAT CONSENSUS DID YOU FINALLY MAKE? OKAY.
YOU KNOW, SO HOPEFULLY THIS GOES WELL.
YOU KNOW, SO PICK A PARTNER, PICK A SEAT, AND THEN KNOW THAT YOU'RE GONNA ROTATE.
DID YOU BRING, IS HE GONNA TALK OR DO YOU NEED TO BRING THAT? HE'S GONNA TALK.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS KIND OF INTERESTING, BUT WE'VE GOT TEAM A AND A, TEAM C AND C AND THEN TEAM R AND D, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OVER THERE.
SO FROM ALEX AND ANDY, UM, WHAT WAS YOUR LIST THAT YOU LANDED ON? WELL, NUMBER ONE WAS THE, UH, COMMUNITY EVENTS.
NUMBER TWO FOR US WAS POLICY AND OPEN SPACE SPACES.
FOUR WOULD'VE BEEN HUMAN SERVICES, FIVE WAS INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITIES, SIX WAS, UM, INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED ACTIVITIES.
SEVEN WAS LEISURE ACTIVITIES, EIGHT WAS BOARD AND COMMISSION INITIATIVES.
NINE WAS RACE SALES AND 10 WAS RENTERS AND RESERVATIONS.
OKAY, TEAM R AND D, RACHEL AND DENNIS
SO FOR NUMBER ONE WE HAD PARKS AND OPEN SPACES.
UM, NUMBER TWO, COMMUNITY EVENTS.
UM, NUMBER FOUR, BOARD AND COMMISSION INITIATIVES.
NUMBER FIVE, INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITIES.
NUMBER SEVEN, LEISURE ACTIVITIES.
NUMBER EIGHT, INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED ACTIVITIES.
UM, NUMBER NINE, RENTALS AND RESERVATIONS.
AND THEN FINALLY, UH, CHRISTOPHER AND CASEY.
UM, SO FOR NUMBER ONE WE HAD PARKS AND OPEN SPACES.
THEN, UH, NUMBER TWO WE HAD COMMUNITY EVENTS.
FOUR, WE HAD INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITIES OR UH, FIVE WE HAD BOARDING COMMISSION INITIATIVES.
SEVEN, WE HAD A LEISURE ACTIVITIES.
EIGHT, WE HAD RESALE NINE WE HAD INTRODUCTORY OR, UH, YEAH, INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED ACTIVITIES.
AND SIX OR UH, 10 WE HAD, UH, RENTALS AND RESERVATIONS.
UM, I THINK THE ONLY LARGE DISCREPANCY IF, IF YOU WERE TO KIND OF GROUP YOURS INTO A TOP, MIDDLE AND BOTTOM, EVERYONE WAS KIND OF SIMILAR EXCEPT FOR THE, UM, BOARD INITIATIVES.
UM, SOME HAD THOSE IN THE TOP QUARTER AND SOME HAD THOSE IN THE BOTTOM QUARTER.
SO WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND THOSE PERSPECTIVES? SO I MEAN, I CAN GO TALK ABOUT WHY I YOUR OPINION.
SO MY OPINION IS THAT, UM, PART OF THE REASON WHY I WHY WE I ADVOCATED TOWARDS PUTTING THOSE AT THE BOTTOM IS BECAUSE THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE AS A BOARD ARE THINK COMING UP WITH.
AND SO WE AREN'T ELECTED, WE ARE, YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONED BY THE, BY UM, CITY COUNCIL.
AND SO WE SHOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE MAKING BIG HUGE MONEY DECISIONS, UM, FROM THE BOARD BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE ARE, WE'RE, WE'RE NOT ELECTED.
SO THAT'S TAX PAYER MONEY AND WE SHOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE USING TAX MARK PAYER MONEY IF WE DON'T HAVE TO.
SO THAT WAS WHY I ADVOCATED TOWARDS THE BOTTOM.
AND THEN I THINK, DID YOU HAVE IT IN THE TOP ONE, NUMBER FOUR? NUMBER FOUR, WE HAD IT IN MATTER OF FACT
[00:35:01]
SO THE PERSPECTIVE IS THAT WHEN THE BOARD COMES UP WITH AN IDEA FOR A PROGRAM, IT SHOULDN'T RELY SOLELY ON TAXPAYER MONEY.
BUT ANOTHER GROUP DID HAVE IT IN LIKE NUMBER FOUR.
WAS THAT CASEY AND CHRISTOPHER AND I THINK RACHEL AND CASEY TOO IN THEIR ORIGINAL ONE.
SO TELL ME MORE ABOUT THAT PERSPECTIVE.
SO I FEEL LIKE WITH THE BOARD WE DO COLLECTIVELY COME UP WITH IDEAS AND WAYS TO IMPLEMENT THEM SUCH AS, YOU KNOW, THE TREATMENT WAYS, THE BOARD ACTIVITY AND FEEL LIKE IT SHOULDN'T ALL BE TAXPAYER MONEY.
BUT I FEEL LIKE JUST BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ELECTED DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T SUBMIT OUR IDEAS.
OBVIOUSLY IT HAS TO PERTAIN TO THE BROAD MAJORITY OF EVERYBODY, BUT WE DO HAVE THIS POSITION FOR A REASON.
I UNDERSTAND THAT PERSPECTIVE AS WELL.
THERE'S A, THERE'S KIND OF A THIRD OPTION TOO, UM, WOULD BE THAT WE COULD TAKE ANY BOARD PROGRAM INITIATIVE AND PUT IT AGAINST ALL THESE OTHER CATEGORIES AND SAY, OKAY, WHAT CATEGORY DOES IT MEET UP WITH? AND THEN IF YOU SAY, OH WELL IT'S ACTUALLY IN A CATEGORY THAT SHOULD BE RECOVERING A HIGH AMOUNT OF MONEY, THEN MAYBE THE BOARD MAKES THE CASE FOR WHY THIS SHOULD BE THE EXCEPTION THIS TIME BECAUSE MAYBE THERE'S A HUGE COMMUNITY NEED OUTPOURING.
UH, SO WE SUBSIDIZE IT THIS TIME, BUT WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S, IT'S SIMILAR TO SOMETHING THAT WOULDN'T BE THAT HIGHLY SUBSIDIZED.
UM, OR WE KEEP THOSE SEPARATE AND WE KEEP THEM ON THE LIST WHERE YOU ALL HAVE PLACED THEM WITH WHAT THEY SHOULD BE RECOVERING.
AND SO THINK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT TOO 'CAUSE WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT TOTALLY DONE WITH THIS, UM, ACTIVITY.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR HUMORING ME.
UM, I LOVE THAT YOU'RE ALL ALWAYS WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE AND I HOPE THIS ONE WAS A LITTLE MORE ENJOYABLE THAN THE ONE WE DID ON THE TV.
UM, THEN THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON THAT ALEX.
OH, IF YOU COULD JUST GIVE ME FROM THAT FINAL GROUP, GIVE ME YOUR NOTES.
NOPE, JUST THE THREE GROUPS SO THAT I CAN, I'M GONNA COMPARE MORE CLOSELY AND SEE WHERE WE GOT VERY SIMILAR AND MAN THIS HANDWRITING, ALEX WROTE IT IN ROMAN NUS.
I KEEP MINE AND, AND MINE AND, AND KEEP IT SEPARATED NOW WHO DID WHAT?
ANY OTHER QUESTION BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN? ADDITIONAL BUSINESS? ALRIGHT THEN UH, THE ONLY THING I HAVE ON THAT IS THAT, UM, SARAH TOUCHED ON IT.
WE WERE GOING TO BE, UM, SHE AND I GONNA BE WORKING TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, TO GET READY FOR THE MEETING NEXT MONTH THERE.
AND SO, UH, I WILL BE COMMUNICATING WITH HER BY EMAIL OR YEP, EMAIL'S GREAT.
AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO AT THAT MEETING, I'M GOING TO JUST GIVE AN UPDATE FIRST OF ALL ON WHAT ACTIVITIES WE THE BOARD TOOK PART IN OR PUT ON SINCE THE LAST TIME I UPDATED THEM AND THEN GIVE THEM AN IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO NEXT YEAR, WHAT OUR PLANS ARE FOR NEXT YEAR, THIS CALENDAR YEAR.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO BE GIVING.
ALSO MAKE SURE I LET 'EM KNOW THAT THE BOARD NOW HAS THE FULL NINE MEMBERS.
UH, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE HAD NINE MEMBERS IN THE LAST, WHAT, FIVE YEARS OR SO, I GUESS BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE HAD A FULL BOARD.
SO I MAKE SURE TO GET TO KNOW THAT.
UM, ANY OTHER BUSINESS I NEED TO PUT ON HERE? UH, YOU WANNA BRING UP NOW BEFORE WE, BEFORE WE ADJOURN THE MEETING, I DID WANNA ASK DID WE MAKE A DECISION ON THE COMMUNITY PARK? UM, NO.
ARE WE DOING THAT NEXT MEETING OR I, I HAVE TO GET A CONTRACT FROM THE COUNTY FOR THE MONEY AND THAT THOSE WERE GONNA COME OUT IN LIKE NOVEMBER BEFORE I'M ALLOWED TO SPEND A DIME OF IT SO WE HAVE TIME.
UM, AND THEN IT SEEMED AS THOUGH, WHICH WE WILL REVISIT,
[00:40:01]
UM, IT SEEMED AS THOUGH WE WANTED TO MAYBE DO A LITTLE MORE OF A MATCH TO GET SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE IMPRESSIVE.AND SO THAT WILL INVOLVE NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET MONEY.
BUT I AM, I WANNA PLACE THAT ORDER JANUARY ONE.
SPEAKING OF UH, COMMUNITY PARK.
UM, THIS NEVER COMES TO MY MIND UNTIL I LOOK BACK IN ORDER TO PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENTS WE HAD, UM, IF WE WANT TO GET A SHELTER THERE, DOES THAT REQUIRE US GOING BACK AND GETTING INTO ON THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT LIST OR DO YOU HAVE FUNDS OR ACCESS TO FUNDS TO PUT A, A SHELTER THERE? UM, SO IN NEXT YEAR'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN THERE IS MONEY SET ASIDE FOR COMMUNITY PARK.
AND IT'S NOT SPECIFICALLY EARMARKED FOR A SHELTER, UM, BUT IT IS FOR COMMUNITY PARK IMPROVEMENTS.
SO, UM, I DID JUST MEET WITH A CONTRACTOR TODAY TO GET UM, THE BALL ROLLING ON A QUOTE TO FINISH THE BASKETBALL COURT SIDE.
AND ON OUR TOUR WE TALKED ABOUT A MULTI-SPORT, A MULTI-CORE MULTI-SPORT COURT.
UM, WHERE THERE IT COULD MAYBE TRANSITION TO PICKLEBALL OR BASKETBALL OR VOLLEYBALL OR SHUFFLEBOARD OR ANY NUMBER OF THINGS.
UM, SO I'M GONNA GET SOME PROPOSALS BACK ON THAT.
WE WILL OBVIOUSLY BE FINISHING UP THE, THE PLAYGROUND AND THEN THERE'S SOME POLISHING THINGS WE WANNA DO OUT THERE WITH SOME FENCING, WITH SOME NEW, UM, DISC GOLF SIGNS, THAT SORT OF THING.
UM, SO NOTHING SPECIFICALLY EARMARKED FOR A SHELTER.
IF SOMETHING COMES IN UNDER, WE CAN ALLOCATE FOR IT, RIGHT? UM, IF THERE'S A GRANT OPPORTUNITY, WE CAN GO FOR IT.
OTHERWISE WE PROBABLY JUST WANNA PUT IT IN THE CAPITAL PLAN, RIGHT.
UM, FOR 26 AND BEYOND, THERE'S ALSO, INSTEAD OF A SHELTER SHELTER, THERE'S SHADE STRUCTURES THAT CAN BE A LITTLE LESS COSTLY.
UM, YOU KNOW, WITH LIKE THE CANVAS.
SO WE CAN CONTINUE, WE'RE GONNA TALK A LOT ABOUT COMMUNITY PARK.
ALRIGHT THEN ANY OTHER GONNA BE BUSY? ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR SUGGESTING? IF NOT THEN WE'LL GO ON TO APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES.
DID EVERYONE HAVE A CHANCE TO READ THE MINUTES? DO WE HAVE ANY CORRECTIONS? DO OR SUGGEST JUST THE CHANGES FOR THE MINUTES? ARE THERE ANY OBJECTION TO THE MINUTES BEING APPROVED? IF NONE, DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES? YEAH, APPROVE.
AND DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.
ALRIGHT THEN WE'LL GO WITH RACHEL THEN.
ALL IN FAVOR APPROVING THE MINUTES.
OKAY, ALL MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
THE UPCOMING MEETING WILL BE NOVEMBER 21ST.
THAT THE WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING IT'S OKAY.
UM, AND THEN THE ONE AF AFTER THAT IS DECEMBER 19TH.
UM, SO I'LL JUST ASK THAT EVERYBODY KIND OF GET A JUMPSTART ON CHECKING WITH SPOUSES OR PARTNERS AND YOUR OWN WORKPLACE HOLIDAY PARTIES AND ALL OF THAT SO THAT WE CAN KNOW IF WE'LL HAVE A FORM ALONG WITH THAT IDEA TOO.
WE DON'T WANT TO COME TO A MEETING JUST TO BE COMING, BUT IF WE ARE NOT GOING TO MEET IN DECEMBER, IF WE COME TO NOVEMBER MEETING, SIR, WE'RE NOT GOING TO MEET IN DECEMBER.
I WANT YOU TO HAVE AN IDEA COME JANUARY BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN WE ELECT NEW OFFICERS.
SO THE MEETING AFTER NEXT MONTH WOULD BE THE TIME.
THEN YOU WOULD DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO STEP INTO THAT ROAD.
THAT CASE IS OKAY
AND SO YOU WILL KNOW WE LEAVE NEXT MONTH.
IT'LL BE ON TOP OF THE AGENDA WHEN WE COME BACK IN JANUARY.
AND UH, WITH THAT THEN I'M GOING TO THANK CHRISTOPHER FOR COMING OUT WITH US TONIGHT AND CHRISTOPHER DOES PLAN TO BE HERE THROUGH MAY.
ALRIGHT? THEN THE SCRIPT WILL ALLOW, SO, OKAY.
IF THERE ARE NO OTHER COMMENTS THEN I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND IT, THE MEETING BE ADJOURNED.
DO I HAVE A MOTION? MOTION? YOU GOT? OKAY.
AND YOU HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.
ALRIGHT, THE MEETING'S ADJOURNED.
