[00:00:02]
I HAVE CALLED THE[ AGENDA ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road October 19, 2020 6:30 P.M. ]
MEETING OF THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS, ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION TO ORDER JERRY, YOU WANT TO TAKE ROLL CALL, RIGHT? AND I'M GOING TO CALL YOU ALL BY YOUR FIRST NAMES, IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.RONISHA PRESENT SHANNON HERE, GWENDOLYN PRESENT GAVIN AND CHERYL HERE.
I'M GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE OPENING REMARKS, UM, BY THE CHAIRMAN.
AND I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY.
WHO'S SUPPORTED OUR SUMMER EVENTS.
WE HAD A REALLY GOOD TURNOUT FROM THE PUBLIC, UH, TO OUR MOVIES AND CONCERTS.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, ALL THE, I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVEN'T, HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ATTEND AS FAR AS TO, UM, HELP WITH, UH, GREETING AND SET UP AND THAT SORTA THING.
AND, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY THAT CAN PITCH IN IS MUCH REALLY NEEDED WHEN WE CAN, WHEN WE CAN GET YOU.
AND I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A WEIRD YEAR, SO, UM, BUT YOU KNOW, GOING INTO OUR UPCOMING EVENTS AND STUFF, JUST KIND OF KEEP THAT IN MIND THAT WE CAN ALWAYS USE MORE BODIES TO, FOR SUPPORT.
SO, UM, BUT EVERY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO MANAGE SO FAR AND, UH, EVERYTHING LIKE I'M, I'M REALLY BEEN REALLY HAPPY WITH THE TURNOUT FROM, FROM THE CITIZENS.
UM, THAT WAS THAT'S ALL I REALLY HAVE RIGHT AT THE MOMENT.
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WE HAVE ANY CITIZENS HERE EXCEPT FOR JIM AND IN ENGLISH.
JIM WANTS TO ADD ANYTHING HE'S HIDING IN THE COURTROOM.
I DID JUST WANT TO COMMENT THAT THE AVERAGE WAS LIKE 120 PEOPLE DURING THE SUMMER AT THE MOVIES, WHICH WITH THE SITUATION GOING ON, I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS TOO HATEFUL.
UM, THERE WERE OVER 400 CARS AT THE CAR SHOW.
OF COURSE, THAT MANY PEOPLE, THEY BROUGHT IN.
A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY DIDN'T ALL STAY FOR THE MOVIE, BUT THAT'S OKAY.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE GETTING THE IDEA THAT WE'RE DOING THINGS.
SO, UM, HOPEFULLY THAT CAN JUST KEEP MOVING.
I HAD SOME COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE STAYED IF IT WAS A DRIVE IN MOVIE, BUT THERE WERE HAD RESERVATIONS ABOUT GOING INTO THE ROWS CAUSE OF COVID.
SO, UM, BUT YOU KNOW, IT WAS KIND OF A THING WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T REALLY KNOW UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE, IF WE COULD BE IN THE ROSE OR WHETHER WE'D HAVE TO PULL THE BLOW UP SCREEN OUT AND PUT IT IN THE PARKING LOT.
THE ONLY REASON WE CAN IS BECAUSE IT IS AN OUTDOOR, IT'S NOT COMPLETELY CLOSED IN.
SO, UM, SOME PEOPLE MAYBE AREN'T AWARE OF THAT, THEY MAYBE THINK IT'S A CLOSED IN THEATER.
AND THEN OF COURSE WE DID DO THE SEATING WHERE THEY WERE SPACED OUT.
SO, UM, THAT'S HOW WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT.
AND PEOPLE SEEM TO RESPECT THAT FOR THE MOST PART, THERE WERE A FEW PEOPLE THAT WANT TO TAKE THEIR WHOLE FAMILY LIFE TO AFFECTION AND WE'VE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ACCOMMODATED THEM.
AND, UH, SO YEAH, IT WORKED OUT REALLY WELL.
I THOUGHT IN QUITE A FEW IN ATTENDANCE.
SO I THINK SOME OF THAT, I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW GREECE, BUT SOME OF THE PEOPLE WITH REALLY YOUNG CHILDREN WERE WALKING OUT LIKE THAT.
AND I DIDN'T THINK THAT IT IS A PG FILM.
AND SO THEY MIGHT'VE THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE TOO RACY FOR THE TINY KIDS.
BUT WHEN WE START DECIDING ON NEXT YEARS, WE'RE GOING TO HIT SOME OF THOSE TOPICS AND DISCUSS IT A LITTLE BIT AND MAKE THAT ONE BE MORE OF A HALLOWEEN CHILDREN'S MOVIE.
UM, BUT WE'LL HIT ON THAT LATER, BEFORE WE MOVE ON ONE THING I WANTED TO PASS ALONG, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF FAVORABLE COMMENTS ON THAT CAR, CRUISE IN CAR SHOW, CRUISE IN WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO CALL IT.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ASKING, WILL WE DO IT AGAIN? SO THAT'S SOMETHING I THINK WE NEED TO VISIT.
SO ROBBIE COLBY WALKER IS THE ONE WHO, UH, DID THAT AND HE EXPRESSED WANTING TO, UM, PARTNER UP WITH US AGAIN, MAYBE EVEN AT THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL, UM, LIKE THE NIGHT BEFORE, LIKE TIP CITIES, MUM, MUM.
I KNOW THAT, UM, ROB SCHOMER, OUR CITY MANAGER WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE TURNOUT AND I THINK HE WANTS TO TRY TO DO SOME KIND OF PARTNERING WITH HIM ALONG THE WAY, BECAUSE THAT DOES BRING A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT.
THERE'S A LOT OF NICE ENTERTAINMENT AND ITSELF,
[00:05:01]
SOCIAL DISTANCING, SO.UM, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO, UH, OLD BUSINESS LIGHTS IN THE HEIGHTS.
UM, CINDY IS GOING TO BE ORDINATING THAT THIS YEAR.
AND IF YOU'D LIKE TO ADD ANY INFORMATION ABOUT LIGHTS IN THE HEIGHTS, OR DO YOU NEED, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU NEED HELP OR WHATEVER, UM, IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE THE THIRD YEAR FOR LIGHTS IN THE HEIGHTS THAT WE'VE DONE WITH THAT NAME.
THEY'VE HAD IT IN THE PAST, BUT WE CHANGED THE NAME OF ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO.
I'M GOING OFF OF HUBER, HAUNTS, TRIAL AND ERROR, AND WHAT MAKES PEOPLE HAVING WHAT WORKS AND DON'T WORK.
WE'RE STILL LEARNING ALL THE TIME.
BUT WE FOUND THAT HAVING A BOARD AND HAVING PEOPLE GOING AND JUDGING KIND OF MAKES THE HOMEOWNER A LITTLE PRESSURED BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO BE DONE AT A CERTAIN DAY.
AND THEN OF COURSE, IF YOU HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY DO DECORATE THEIR HOME, IT TAKES A REALLY LONG TIME TO GET AROUND TO THAT.
UM, WE HAD AN EXAMPLE IS 25 HOUSES LAST YEAR WITH HUBERT JOHNSON.
IT TOOK US THREE DAYS CAUSE YOU ONLY HAVE SO MUCH NIGHTTIME, YOU KNOW, BEFORE PEOPLE HAVE TO GO TO BED AND GO TO WORK.
UM, SO THIS YEAR HUBER, HANS, WE HAVE ACTUALLY 50 SOME AND I'M USING THAT AS AN EXAMPLE.
SO I HAD TO USE A WHOLE MONTH AND THEN CHANGE AND DO AWAY WITH BOARDS AND VOTING AND ALLOW THE PEOPLE HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS TO WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT.
AND THEN MINUTE GREG TO ALLOW PEOPLE, UM, TO GO AROUND AND DO THEIR PEOPLE'S CHOICE.
SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING THIS YEAR IS FOR HOMEOWNERS TO PUT A POSTER UP JUST LIKE YOU WERE HAUNTS, THEY DID.
AND, UM, HAVE PEOPLE COME AROUND, LOOK AT THEIR DISPLAYS ONCE THEY'VE SIGNED UP AND WE'VE CREATED THE MAP FOR VISITING, THEY'LL GO AROUND.
AND IF THEY SEE THE MAP, THEY KNOW THEY'RE PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTUAL CONTEST.
CAUSE SOME ARE, SOME ARE NOT SOME JUST DID THE DISPLAY THIS YEAR FOR FUN.
SOME HAD SOME PEOPLE IN THE CHRISTMAS WHO DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN A CONTEST.
THEY WOULD JUST BE FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES, RIGHT.
THEY DIDN'T WANT THE STRESS OF A CONTEST.
UM, SO, SO IF THEY DO WANT TO BE IN IT, THEY CAN CREATE THE POSTER AT THAT TIME.
IT'LL SAY, YOU KNOW, FOR PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR THEIR, UM, ADDRESS AT THIS PARTICULAR EMAIL, AND THEN WE'LL SEE HOW MANY VOTES WE GET.
WELL, WE NEED HELP WITH THIS YEAR OBVIOUSLY IS GETTING THE WORD OUT, CONTINUING TO LET HOMEOWNERS KNOW THAT WE'RE DOING THIS.
SO THEY'LL SIGN UP TO THE MAP SO THAT WE CAN CREATE THE ACTUAL MAP AND DOING THAT IN A TIMELY MANNER.
AND I BELIEVE JERRY HAS DECIDED THAT IT'S BEST TO HAVE THAT DEADLINE, SORRY, BY THE 4TH OF DECEMBER.
SO WE'LL START LETTING PEOPLE KNOW RIGHT AFTER HALLOWEEN, TOO, THAT IF THEY WANT TO START SIGNING UP, THEY HAVE TILL THE FOURTH, THAT GIVES US TIME TO GET THE MAP READY AND GET IT OUT TO THE PUBLIC TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING.
THIS YEAR, WE'RE GOING TO ADD A SCAVENGER HUNT.
SO WE'RE GOING TO ENCOURAGE THE HOMEOWNER TO PICK AN ITEM, WHETHER IT BE AN ANGEL, A SNOWMAN, SOMETHING SPECIAL IN THEIR YARD.
AND THEN WHEN THEY SIGN UP WITH THE MAP, THEY NEED TO LET US KNOW WHAT THAT ITEM IS SO THAT WE CAN CREATE THE LIST.
SO WE'RE GOING TO DO A STAR AND KIND OF BE LIKE, OKAY, IT'S A STAR WITH SILVER CRYSTAL, SOMETHING ON IT SO THAT THEY KNOW.
AND THEN THEY'LL PUT THE ADDRESS BESIDE WHERE THEY FOUND IT.
THAT WAY WE CAN ENCOURAGE HOMEOWNERS TO GO OUT AND LOOK.
AND THEN ONCE THEY FINISHED THE SHEET, THEY'RE GOING TO BRING IT HERE TO CITY HALL.
I HOPE TO HAVE PERMISSION TO USE THE SANTA MAILBOX AND THE CHILDREN WILL DROP IT IN THE MAILBOX.
AND THEN WE'LL DO A DRAWING FOR $250 GIFT CARD.
WOULD YOU HELP FAMILIES AT CHRISTMAS? NICE.
SO THE REASON WE NEED TO START THAT UP EARLY IS WE DON'T WANT TO RUN THAT INTO CHRISTMAS WEEK.
VACATIONS PEOPLE DOING EVERYTHING WITH THEIR FAMILIES, THAT KIND OF THING.
LIKE, IT'LL BE THOSE TWO MIDDLE WEEKS OF THE MONTH, RATHER THAN THAT LAST CHRISTMAS WEEK, YOU NEED HELP ALSO BESIDES JUST, YOU KNOW, GETTING OUR HOMEOWNERS TO SIGN UP, BUT TRYING TO FIND DONATIONS FOR THE PRIZES.
UM, LOWE'S IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE GO TO LOWE'S LAST YEAR, THEY WERE AWESOME TO DONATE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AND SOME OTHER REALLY FUN THINGS IN A BASKET FOR THE HOMEOWNER WINNER.
UM, I KNOW THAT TEXAS ROADHOUSE IS COMMITTED TO GIVING AGAIN.
UM, BUT WE DO NEED TO PUT TOGETHER A NICE PACKAGE FOR THAT HOMEOWNER.
SO ANYTHING YOU COULD GET TO HELP DONATE, I'LL GO TO LOWE'S.
AND IF YOU CAN GET ME THE INFORMATION, I WILL SEND IT TO OUR PRESCHOOLS AGAIN, UM, TO ALL THE FAMILIES.
[00:10:02]
TRYING TO PUT THE FLYER TOGETHER SO THAT WE CAN GET THAT OUT THERE SO THAT EVERYBODY CAN SHARE THE SAME FLYER.SO AS SOON AS WE GET THAT ALL, OKAY.
MAKE SURE THOSE DATES REALLY WORK.
JERRY ASKED ME, WELL, WHAT IF THEY DON'T GET TO ALL THE HOUSES OR WHAT IF THEY MESS UP THE STAR OR WHATEVER, AND THEN THEY PASS, THEN PASS THAT PAPER IN.
WE JUST WANT THEM TO HAVE FUN WITH THEIR CHILDREN.
AS LONG AS THEY TURN SOMETHING IN.
NOW WHEN YOU ASK HIM FOR A DONATION, DO YOU HAVE A DONATION LETTER? UM, WE DO, BUT IT'S REAL SPECIFIC TO GOING OUT IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, ASKING WOULD THEY WANT TO DONATE TO ANY OF OUR EVENTS IF YOU WANT? WE CAN TRY TO, I CAN TRY TO PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER HERE QUICKLY ABOUT THE CHRISTMAS PROJECT.
I HAVE A FEW PEOPLE I LIKE TO, UM, GIVE A DONATION BAG.
UM, I, UM, ACTUALLY I KNOW SOME PEOPLE RIGHT NOW THAT'S WILLING TO DONATE, UM, LIKE FOOD, UM, BASKETS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, LIKE TURKEYS, CHICKENS AND PAUL ROSE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, THEY'RE CALLED THE GOOSE'S DEN AND THEY'LL BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
UM, ALL I NEED IS JUST A LETTER FROM YOU GUYS AND THEY WILL PUT BOXES TOGETHER AND THEN GUYS DO WHATEVER WHAT'S EVER NECESSARY FOR THE HOMEOWNERS AND THOSE THAT ARE NOT HOMEOWNERS.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO BE REAL CAREFUL WITH THAT BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC THAT I UNDERSTAND, BUT I'M JUST STATING ON HOWEVER YOU WANT TO GOVERN THIS ACCORDINGLY.
THAT WOULD BE SO COOL THOUGH, FOR A CHRISTMAS VIDEO, IF IT'S A FORM OF A GIFT CERTIFICATE AND A RECEIVER GOES DIRECTLY TO MARIE'S A SPONSOR, AREN'T WE OFF THE HOOK THEN? YEAH.
DO YOU GUYS LIKE THE IDEA OF THE SCAVENGER HUNT? BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO STICK OUT.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET YOU OUT THERE AND LET YOU, IT, I HAVE DONE SOME IN THE PAST WHERE YOU HAD PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH HIGH-PERFORMANCE VEHICLES DID LITERALLY RACING, TRYING TO FIND THE ITEM.
SO WE'RE ASKING THEM TO FIND THE ITEM, PUT IT ON PAPER WHERE THEY FOUND IT AND TURN THAT IN AND THEY'LL HAVE LIKE A WEEK TO DO THAT.
SO, UM, WELL THEN IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT ON A CORRECTNESS, THEN HOW IS IT JUST GOING TO BE A DRAWING THEN FOR HELPING? YEAH.
I'M JUST GOING TO DRAW, DRAW FROM THE ENTRIES THAT IT, YEAH.
UM, THEN WE'RE MOVING ON TO THE CHRISTMAS CONCERT AND UM, THE CHOIR, I ACTUALLY TALKED TO PAT BRIEFLY OVER HISTORICAL SOCIETY CAUSE SHE'S PUTTING TOGETHER A COMMUNITY CHOIR AND I'M HOPING WE CAN GET THEM TO ALSO COME TO THE CHRISTMAS CONCERT.
BUT I REALLY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF, A LOT OF CONTACT WITH ANYBODY.
I'VE TALKED TO A COUPLE PEOPLE.
SO I HAVE TWO SCHOOLS THAT ARE WILLING TO BRING KIDS AND A HOMESCHOOL GROUP THAT WILL SING A COUPLE SONGS AND THE SCHOOLS WILL SING A COUPLE SONGS IF THAT IS GOOD.
DO YOU WANT THIS SONG'S PRE-APPROVED UM, NO, I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU DIDN'T.
CAROL'S YOU KNOW, THAT'S FINE.
SO ARE THEY OKAY WITH, UM, STANDING ON THE STAGE? THEY'RE GOING TO NEED TO BE SPACED OUT.
I CAN'T HAVE THEM ALL CLUMPED TOGETHER, SO WE'LL HAVE TO SPACE THEM OUT.
IT MIGHT TAKE A COUPLE OF MICROPHONES.
DOES ANYBODY, DO THEY HAVE THAT KIND OF, OR DO THEY THINK WE'RE PROVIDING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE MICROPHONES? UM, IT'S OUR PRESCHOOL AND ANOTHER PRESCHOOL THAT SAID WE WOULD LOVE TO DO IT.
UM, AND THEY'LL HAVE THE KIDS, UH THEY'LL THE TEACHERS WILL HANDLE SPACING THEM OUT.
I'LL I'LL I'LL MAKE SURE I KNOW THAT I'M GOING TO CHECK ON THAT.
I DID SPEAK SATURDAY WITH THE, A FELLOW THAT RUNS THE LOCAL RADIO STATION AND HE WAS OPEN TO PROVIDING THE EQUIPMENT.
AND UM, I'M SORRY, WHO DID YOU SPEAK WITH? IS IT TIM? ISN'T THAT? ISN'T MY GREG DAVE FIRST NAME OR NARD, I BELIEVE IS THE LAST NAME.
AND I SPOKE HIM SATURDAY AND HE WAS OPEN TO PARTICIPATING AS A RADIO STATION.
WE MIGHT SEE WHAT THEY, IF THEY COULD PROVIDE THE MIX AND THE SOUND TEST.
[00:15:01]
AS LONG AS WE'RE NOT COMPETING WITH, UH, THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY'S CHRISTMAS TREE, IT'S A WEEK LATER.AND I, I SEEM TO KEEP RUNNING INTO THIS QUITE A BIT WHERE PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THAT IT'S A COMPETING IN CONCERT.
WE'D LIKE TO SAY THAT IT'S A CHRISTMAS CONCERT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM PAT'S TREE LIGHTING.
SO YOU YOU'RE A GOOD CONTACT WITH THE RADIO.
THEN I WILL PURSUE THAT FURTHER.
WE WOULD LOVE FOR THEM TO COME.
WE'D LOVE FOR THEM TO ADVERTISE IT, LIKE THROUGH LIKE FROM THANKSGIVING ON WHATEVER THEY WOULD NEED FROM US.
AND THEN IF THEY COULD BE THERE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
SO WE WORKED WITH ABOUT FIVE CHURCHES, UH, AND DID AN EVENT AT, AT THE ECHO BURGER.
UM, BUT WE WERE TALKING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO, UM, WORK TOGETHER AGAIN AS A GROUP OF CHURCHES AND DO SOMETHING LIKE ALIVE NATIVITY SCENE OR CHRISTMAS CARD KIND OF THING AT THE TREE OR AT OUR SINGING.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WOULD BE INTERESTED IF THE CITY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THAT, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THEY WOULD WORK ON, DO SOMETHING FOR THEM.
MAYBE HAVE SOME COOL THINGS, PEOPLE ACTING OUT STUFF.
CAUSE IT WAS LIKE THEY FIRST THOUGHT OF A NATIVITY SCENE.
SO I JUST TOLD THEM, I DIDN'T KNOW THE POSITION OF THE CITY PART.
UM, SO IT'S A TWO HOUR EVENT, UM, KIND OF JUMPING AROUND A LITTLE BIT HERE.
I'VE EMAILED SANTA'S AND ASKED WHAT HIS COMFORT LEVEL IS.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW KIDS TO SIT ON HIS LAP, BUT WE THOUGHT PERHAPS HE COULD SIT ON STAGE AND READ A CHRISTMAS STORY, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT HE HASN'T GOTTEN BACK WITH US YET.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF THAT WE WANT TO MIX IF HE SAYS THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
WE'VE GOT US A STORY BEING READ.
WHAT COULD THEY DO? THAT WOULD BE SMALL.
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT OF TIME.
RIGHT IN THE PAST, THIS WAS SHORT PLAYS, LIKE MAYBE 10, 15 MINUTES.
SO AGAIN, I THINK I TOLD YOU BEFORE, I'D BE HAPPY TO ASSIST YOU WITH THAT, BUT I GIVE HIM, I'M KIND OF GO BACK IN THIS MEMORY UP HERE AND GET A FEW SHORT PLAYS.
WE CAN DO 10 MINUTES, 15 MINUTES, A LITTLE ACT BEAT WITH THE KIDS.
AND THEN THE, SEE ME FOR MY COMMITTEE.
YOU ARE COMMITTING THAT FIRST CONCERT.
SHANNON AND GWEN DELICIOUS SHEILA AND THEN GWENDOLYN OUR COMMITTEE, PEOPLE FOR THAT.
SO THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT IF THEY JUST WANTED TO DO LIKE A NATIVITY SCENE AND NOT ACT ANYTHING OUT OTHER THAN JUST BE A SILENT, THEY COULD BE ON STAGE WITH SANDA WHILE HE'S READING CHRISTMAS STORY.
I WAS EVEN THINKING OF A MOUNTAIN IN THE GRASS BY WHERE THE TREE IS.
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS THINKING.
LIKE, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN DOWNTOWN WHEN CLC DID THEIR, THEIR NATIVITY SCENE? LIKE I WAS MARRIED ONE YEAR AND IT WAS JUST SO COOL.
LIKE YOU JUST KIND OF WALKED BY IT AND SAW IT WAS JUST AN ACTIVITY SCENE, LIKE A CHRISTMAS CARD AND SURE.
NO SPEAKING, NO NOTHING, RIGHT? YEAH.
CAUSE THAT COULD BE GOING ON WITH OTHER THINGS.
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS THINKING.
WOULD, WOULD LIVE ANIMALS BE OKAY.
WELL, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT, I MEAN, AS LONG AS ONE STAY IN THE LONG, I SUPPOSE.
SO I WILL CLEAR THAT THROUGH THE PARKS.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FOUR CHURCHES WANT TO DO, BUT I MEAN, IF WE ALL COME TOGETHER, THAT WOULD BE REALLY FUN AND YEAH.
AND WE ASKED THE BOY I'LL JUST DRESS UP AND WALK AROUND AND BE A PART OF EVIDENCE.
WE WILL GET TOGETHER AND KIND OF PULL SOME OF THIS ENTERTAINMENT TOGETHER.
JUST GOING TO BE THE DATE FOR THIS.
IT'S DECEMBER 5TH, DECEMBER 5TH.
OR HAVING ANOTHER MEETING BEFORE, RIGHT? YES.
WE HAVE ANOTHER MEETING BEFORE.
[00:20:01]
SO, AND THEN CHANGING THE TIME.MOVING IT UP OR BACK OR EMAIL THAT SAID THAT TOO.
I MIGHT HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT BECAUSE IF THEY'RE NOT SITTING ON SANTA'S LAP, WE THOUGHT THEY COULD STAND BY THE TREE.
THAT'S BEEN LIT SANTA ON ONE SIDE, THE KIDS ON THE OTHER SIDE AND A PICTURE COULD BE TAKEN THERE, BUT WE USUALLY DON'T LIKE THE TREE TILL DARK AND IT'S OVER.
SO IF WE MOVED IT BACK A LITTLE BIT, THERE'D BE SOME DARKNESS FOR PICTURES.
SO WE COULD DO LIKE A FIVE 30 TO SEVEN 30, BUT THAT REALLY, WE NEED TO PIN THAT DOWN.
SO ADVERTISEMENT CAN START TO GET OUT.
UM, IS IT BETTER TO DO IT ON THE HOUR AND JUST LET IT RUN PAST SEVEN? THOSE WHO WANT TO HANG AROUND FOR PICTURES CAN NO, I GUESS WE COULD DO THAT.
JUST LEAVE IT WHEN IT'S SCHEDULED.
AND JUST ANNOUNCED THAT IF YOU WANT A PICTURE WITH SANTA AT THE TREE, JUST HANGING OUT, I MEAN, AS LONG AS RICHARD'S WILLING TO DO IT.
SO LET ME GET, UH, AGAIN, WHEN WE GET CONFIRMATION FROM HIM OF WHAT HE'S, UH, MORNING ABLE TO DO OR WANTS TO DO, UM, PICTURES, THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO KNOW THE TIME.
WE GOT FOOD TRUCKS, CLAYBORNE.
SO CLAYBORNE GRILL HAS AGREED TO COME.
THEY SAID THEY COULD DO HOT CHOCOLATE.
AND I SAID, AT THAT POINT I DIDN'T, I DON'T CARE WHAT ELSE THEY SERVE.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE SELLING FOOD AND DRINKS, REFRESHMENTS WHERE WE'VE ALWAYS GIVEN THEM AWAY BEFORE THEY'VE PEOPLE WERE KIND OF GETTING USED TO US SELLING THINGS.
AND THEN, UM, THE JUGGLERS THAT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM YET.
I MEAN, THEY'RE ALWAYS ENTERTAINING.
THE KIDS LOVE THEM, BUT IF THEY DON'T, THIS IS THE ONE.
SO THE JUGGLERS ON STILTS THAT WAY THEY'RE SIX FEET AWAY FROM PEOPLE AND WHAT THEY JUGGLED GLOW WITH THE DARK.
THEY DO HAVE THE CONTRACT FROM THEM.
UM, BUT WE'RE KIND OF HOLDING OFF TILL TRICK OR TREAT HAPPENS.
SCHOOL GOES BACK AND WE KIND OF SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
I DON'T WANT TO SIGN THE CONTRACT.
AND THEN FOR SOME REASON, MAYBE YOU CAN'T HAVE THE EVENT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A CANCELLATION CLAUSE OTHER THAN YOU PAID FOR.
SO, BUT WE ARE SHOOTING TO HAVE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE A NICE LITTLE ADDED.
THEY WERE FUN THE YEAR THOUGH.
AND STILL, AND SO WHEN I TALKED TO THE GUY SAID, YOU KNOW, WE WENT BACK ON STILTS.
SO I THINK IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMING TOGETHER TO BE A NICE LITTLE, SOME QUESTIONS THAT I'VE BEEN ASKED IS, WELL, IF YOUR KIDS CAN'T SIT ON SANDRA'S LAP, WHY, WHY, WHY WOULD YOU BRING YOUR KIDS OUT? RIGHT.
AND I SAID, WELL, BECAUSE IT'S ENTERTAINMENT AND YOU GOT ANIMALS.
AND IF THE WEATHER'S NOT BAD, YOU KNOW, I THINK PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR THINGS.
SO, UM, IF IT'S A RAINY, MISERABLE DAY, I CAN'T SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING OUT.
BUT I THINK IF WE ADVERTISE IT, LIKE WE ALWAYS HAVE BEFORE WITH SOME LITTLE DIFFERENT ADDED THINGS AND MENTIONING THE SAFETY THAT IT WOULD BE ALL RIGHT.
SO I GOT SOME THINGS TO CHECK ON FOR YOU THEN.
AND I WILL GET BACK WITH YOU AND YOU GUYS KIND OF ROUND UP AS MUCH OF IT AS YOU CAN WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, CAUSE IT'S ALL KIND OF IN THE AIR STILL.
JERRY'S GONNA RUN WITH THAT HERE.
SO IN YEARS, PAST A AND B ALWAYS HAD AN ART SHOW.
OF COURSE IT WAS DWINDLING DOWN TO NOT AS MANY PARTICIPANTS AND THEN IT JUST STOPPED.
SO WE HAD STARTED TO TRY TO TALK ABOUT HAVING ONE THIS PAST YEAR AND THEN COVID HIT.
SO, UM, WE'VE BEEN GIVEN A NEW VENUE.
YOU MIGHT HAVE TO HELP ME WITH THIS.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING TOWARDS? YEAH.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, BUT I CAN'T, IT'S IT INTO CUT AND PAL IT'S RIGHT ON THE CORNER.
IT'S THE HOUSE THAT CAUGHT FIRE WHILE BACK OF YOU REMEMBER THAT ONE, BUT IT'S IN THAT LOCATION.
[00:25:01]
IT'S THAT LOCATION? IT'S A PROPERTY THAT THE CITY OWNS, UM, GIRL SCOUTS USED TO, OH, THAT ONE.UM, IT, LIKE I SAY, IT'S A PROPERTY THAT THE CITY OWNS AND THE BUILDING HAD KIND OF FALLEN INTO SOME DISREPAIR, BUT THAT THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT.
THEY'VE BROUGHT IT, THE BATHROOMS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE.
AND WE NOW HAVE GIRL SCOUTS WANTING TO MEET THERE AGAIN.
AND THEY'RE WANTING TO LET US USE THAT FOR VENUES FOR DIFFERENT THINGS.
SO NOW THAT WE HAVE AN INDOOR VENUE, WE CAN HAVE AN ART SHOW THERE.
WE COULD, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD LIKE TO OF COURSE SAY DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR, BUT THE SCHOOL YEAR IS CRAZY, BUT WE CAN, UM, CONTACT THE SCHOOLS, TRY TO GET SOME ARTWORK, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO LEAVE IT WITH CHILDREN.
WE CAN ASK, UH, THE SENIOR CENTER IF THEY CAN REACH OUT TO ANYONE, BUT THEY'RE NOT OPERATING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF COVID.
SO EVERYTHING HE WOULD COME UP WITH IT OR THERE'S SOMETHING BECAUSE OF COVID.
WHAT ABOUT, UM, CALLING THE COLLEGES, SOME OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO HAVE A CONTACT WITH SINCLAIR, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE AT THE Y THAT'S BEEN MANY YEARS SINCE I'VE DONE THAT.
SO I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO TO REACH OUT TO, BUT, UM, THEY THEY'VE HAD STUDENTS HAVE ART SHOWS TOO.
CAUSE I WAS GOING TO SAY NOT ONLY SINCLAIR, BUT ALSO WRIGHT'S STATE, UM, THE, UH, CINCINNATI ART INSTITUTE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE, UM, TO WHERE THEY COULD COME AND DO THEIR ART SHOW.
LIKE, LIKE YOU SAID, DISPLAY THEM, THEN MY QUESTION THEN BECOMES, UM, WILL PEOPLE BE THERE TO HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO FIND THEIR WORK? WILL WE BE ABLE TO FIND LIKE, UM, LIKE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT WOULD BE WILLING TO PUT, LOOK AT THEIR WORK AND PUT IT ON LIKE A GALLERY OR SOMETHING.
YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN? FACEBOOK PAGE OR SOCIAL MEDIA? NO, NO.
WHAT I'M REFERRING TO, YOU HAVE LIKE, UM, UM, PROFESSIONAL DRAWERS, UM, THAT MAKES A LIVING WITH THEIR PAINTING OR CANVAS OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.
UM, AND LIKE THEM TO LOOK AT SOME OF THESE, THESE STUDENTS' ARTWORK CAUSE RIGHT.
THEY CAN BE JUDGES, NOT ONLY THAT, BUT MAYBE THEY WILL SAY, HEY, I REALLY LIKE YOUR ARTWORK.
I WOULD LIKE TO, UM, CASE THIS, UM, DISPLAY THIS AT A GALLERY AT SUCH AND SUCH LOCATION, IT WOULD BE OPEN TO ANY OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO COME.
I DON'T THINK ON OUR FIRST STAB AT IT, WE SHOULD TRY TO BE, UH, WHAT I WANT TO SAY, NOT A CONTEST, IT'S JUST AN EXHIBITION TO DISPLAY YOUR WORK.
AND IF THEY WANTED TO SELL THINGS, BUT NOT A, NOT A JUDGING, NOT A, YOUR WORK IS BETTER THAN THIS ONE'S WORK.
AND THEN SOMEHOW INVITE THOSE TYPE OF PLACES IF THEY WANTED TO COME AND THEN REACH OUT TO THE ARTISTS, THEY COULD DO THAT.
BUT NOT THAT WE WOULD BE SPONSORING THAT PART OF IT BECAUSE I THINK THAT SOME OF THAT MIGHT FALL BACK ON WHAT KIND OF ART KNOWLEDGE DO YOU HAVE? THAT'S NOT A LOT TODAY ON FACEBOOK AND I KNOW SHANNON AND JERRY'S FOLLOWING IT, BUT, UM, I KINDA MADE A POST JUST TO SEE HOW, YOU KNOW, WHERE'S ARTIST HERE IN HUBER.
Y'ALL Y'ALL KNOW WE GOT TOWN AND I'M GETTING STUFF LIKE THIS WHERE, YOU KNOW, LOCAL ARTISTS ARE RIGHT HERE IN HUBER AND I'M GATHERING UP ALL THESE NAMES BECAUSE WE NEED TO INVITE THEM BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DO THIS.
SO I THINK WE COULD FIND THIS AN ARTIST RIGHT HERE TOO, CAUSE THERE'S A TON OF TALENT.
I THINK IT COULD BE, UM, I WOULDN'T WANT TO PUT A THIRD GRADE ART PROJECT NEXT TO SOMEONE WHO'S DOING NURSING.
UM, AND I THINK I'LL JUST KEEP BRIEFLY TALKED ABOUT IT LAST YEAR BEFORE COVID HAT, WE WERE KIND OF LUCKY AND YET HAVING NO, JUST KEEPING IT, YOU KNOW, WERE CLIENTS AND PEOPLE COULD ENTER THEIR WORK AND YOU KNOW, KIND OF THING.
I MEAN, I, I'M KIND OF LIKE WITH JERRY, WE WERE JUST GETTING OUR FEET WET.
I DON'T KNOW THAT WE WANT TO GO OUT FULL FORCE.
JUST KIND OF GET, GET A FEEL FOR WHAT KIND OF RESPONSE WE GET AND WHAT KIND OF RESPONSE WE GET FROM THE PUBLIC AS FAR AS VIEWING THAT WORK.
[00:30:01]
GET A LOT OF PEOPLE TO PUT THEIR ARTWORK OUT THERE AND NOBODY COMES TO LOOK AT IT PRETTY MUCH.AND SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN AUDIENCE.
YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE AN AUDIENCE ALSO.
UM, YOU KNOW, I CAN CHECK THAT, THAT WILL GET YOU AN AUDIENCE RIGHT THERE TOO.
I WAS GOING TO SAY SOME LIGHT REFRESHMENTS AND THAT'S GOING TO BRING THEM OUT.
UM, I DON'T KNOW, SOME QUIET MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND, WHETHER IT BE LIVE OR TAPED, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO REACH OUT TO SOME OF THE LOCAL COFFEE SHOPS.
SEE IF THERE'D BE INTEREST, THAT'D BE FUN THERE.
TO COME DOWN AND CATER SOMETHING.
SO, UM, AGAIN, THESE ARE 20, 21 THINGS, BUT WE DO NEED TO MOVE ON WITH, WE'RE GOING TO START.
SO WE'RE JUST WANTING TO KIND OF THROW THESE OUT THERE, GET YOUR BRAINS, MOVING A LITTLE BIT, SOME IDEAS.
UM, I DON'T WANT TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL JANUARY TO START, UM, REALLY PLANNING IT, BUT UM, ISN'T IT HUBER HEIGHTS THAT DOES ALL THE ART FROM LOCAL ARTISTS USED TO USE TO, THEY STILL, I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE TONS ART AROUND, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY SWITCH IT OUT.
I KNOW EL MADEC HE HAS A REALLY GOOD ART DISPLAY GOING ALL THE TIME AND WE TRIED TO KIND OF PARTNER WITH HIM THAT HE'S REALLY GOT HIS AGENDA ALREADY FULL.
HE'S GOT SO MANY, IT DIDN'T WORK.
WE'RE MOVING A LOT SLOWER THAN HE IS THE ART HUNG ON THE WALL AND THERE IT IS.
PARDON? WE COULD ASK HIS ARM JUST TO COME DARK.
HE WOULD BE HAPPY AND I'M SURE HE WOULD PUT, UM, SOME HANDOUTS OR POSTERS ON HIS COUNTER STATING THAT WE'RE HAVING.
WE HAD JUST THOUGHT WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT THING HERE, THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY USE HIS, HIS FACILITY THAT HE'S ALREADY BOOKED.
I MEAN, SO FAR IN ADVANCE WITH HIS ARTISTS THAT HE ONLY DISPLAYS ONE ARTIST.
SO WE COULD POSSIBLY CALL ON THEM.
IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THEY MIGHT BE OPEN TO SOMETHING FAR ENOUGH DOWN THE ROAD, RIGHT BEYOND WHAT THEY HAVE.
I WANT TO KIND OF JUMP BACK TO THE CAR SHOW.
I KNOW THEY HANDED OUT OVER 750 FLYERS BECAUSE I PRINTED THEM FOR THE, FOR THE CAR SHOW.
SO I THINK WE NEED TO GET BACK TO DOING SOME OF THAT.
I KNOW KOBE RESTRICTED, A LOT OF STUFF, BUT WE GET THAT FLYER OUT THERE TO BUSINESSES.
CAN, YOU KNOW, CAN YOU PUT A FLYER ON YOUR TABLE? CAN YOU LET YOUR CUSTOMERS HAVE A FLYER? THAT'S ANOTHER WAY OF GETTING THE WORD OUT.
SO WHAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY DOING WAS GOING TO FROM CAR SHOW TO CAR SHOW AND JUST POSTED IT, JUST PUTTING THOSE ON THE CARD OR IN THE CARS.
WELL AS OPENING UP, I MEAN LIKE THE LIBRARY IS ALWAYS HAPPY TO PUT OUR FLYERS OUT.
UH, THE TRAMPOLINE PARK, THEY ALWAYS PUT OUR FLYERS OUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S PLACES THAT WERE CLOSED FOR SOME OF OUR VENUES THAT WE COULDN'T DO THAT.
BUT NOW, YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET IN IF THE SCHOOLS REOPENED.
CAUSE WE DEFINITELY ALWAYS HAVING THE MAGNET SCHOOLS.
SO, BUT YOU PUTTING THAT WORD OUT, KIND OF OPENING THAT UP THAT MAY REALLY GET SOME INTEREST GOING.
I, I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE A VOTE ON FOR WANTING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ART.
I NEED TO ASK FOR SOMEONE TO SUBMIT A MOTION REGARDING THE, UM, ART SHOW, UM, THAT WE'RE REVISITING HEAD WITH, UH, PURSUING ART CHOSE PLURAL DURING THE COMING YEAR 2021.
SO WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD ON AN ART SHOW.
WE'RE GOING TO START PLANNING AND THINKING.
I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO DO IT? I HAVEN'T SEEN THE FACILITY YET.
UM, JOSH HAS BEEN OUT, BUT HE WAS GONNA TAKE ME AND SHOW ME THAT FACILITY.
BUT, UM, I DO THINK IT SHOULD BE IN THE COOLER MONTHS TO SHOW THAT WE DO THINGS OUTSIDE OF SUMMER.
UM, NEXT NEW ITEM, UM, LIKED ABOUT BEAUTIFYING THE, SOME OF THE AREAS IN THE CITY FLOWER BEDS.
UM, THE FIREHOUSES, THESE ARE, THESE ARE THINGS WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST AND, AND OF COURSE THIS PAST YEAR DID NOT, BUT, UH, FLOWER BEDS AT THREE FIREHOUSES CITY HALL, FLOWER BEDS PARK ENTRANCES,
[00:35:02]
ALONG WITH THE CITY PORTAL, SOUTH OF TOWN ON TROY PIKE BY THE BAKERY AND NORTH ON BRANT BY SHELL STATION.UM, YOU KNOW, IDEALLY I THINK WE'VE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'D DONE IN THE PAST, BUT IDEALLY WE WOULD LIKE SOMEBODY TO ADOPT A PROJECT, YOU KNOW? I MEAN SOMEBODY TO TAKE IT ON, I DON'T KNOW IF A BOARD MEMBER, ONCE IT GETS STARTED OR WE GET SOMEBODY IN, YOU KNOW, WHO'S WHO HAS, IS WILLING TO TAKE ON, YOU KNOW, THAT PROJECT, WHETHER WE NEED TO BE HOW MUCH WE NEED TO BE INVOLVED.
UM, I THINK THE BOARD ALWAYS DID THE PUBLIC AIR, LIKE THE FIRE STATIONS AND THAT SORT OF THING.
WE WERE KIND OF TRYING TO HOPING THAT LIKE THE FLOWER BEDS AT THE PARK ENTRANCES WOULD BE ADOPTED BY EITHER A GIRL SCOUT GROUP OR, YOU KNOW, UH, A GROUP OF PEOPLE OR AN INDIVIDUAL, I GUESS IF THEY WANT TO DO IT BECAUSE FAMILY, FAMILY, OR CHURCH GROUP.
AND I MENTIONED TO ME THAT HE'S HAD PEOPLE SHOW INTEREST.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE GOT ANY NAMES OR, BUT I MADE THE MISTAKE OF DOING WAS TO REFER THEM TO JOSH AND HANDING OUT JOSH'S EMAIL INSTEAD OF WRITING NAMES DOWN.
BUT, UH, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HE'S, I'VE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO ASK JOSH HOW MANY HE'S GOT SUBJECT THAT, UH, WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME UP AND EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN PLANTING FLOWERS.
I MEAN, THEY'D LOVE TO DO GARDEN.
THEY DON'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN ANYTHING ELSE.
THEY WANT TO DO GARDENING AND THAT KIND OF THING.
AND THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING PERHAPS IF WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO SO, CREATE A SUBCOMMITTEE LIKE A GARDENING CLUB FOR, YOU KNOW, HE TOLD ME WANT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND GENERAL EITHER ADOPT THE GARDEN AREA, LIKE WAS SAID PREVIOUSLY, OR, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE'LL HAVE A SUBCOMMITTEE THAT WANTS TO JUST OVERSEE ALL OF THAT BECAUSE THERE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE SOME TENDING OF THESE GARDENS TO THIS.
AND THE BIGGEST, THE BIGGEST DRAWBACK IN THE PAST HAS BEEN WATER BECAUSE THERE'S NO PUBLIC WATER AT MOST OF THE PARKS WATER DROPS BY JOSH, THAT, THAT WE COULD GET A KEY.
YOU KNOW, IF SOMEBODY DOES DECIDE TO TAKE THAT ON, WE CAN GET A KEY FOR THE WATER SOURCE.
THEY WOULD HAVE TO BRING A HOSE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE THINK IT CAN ALSO BE AS SIMPLE AS A COUPLE OF BIG EARNS OUTSIDE OF CITY HALL, FULL OF FLOWERS.
FUCKING WATER GOES OUT ONCE A WEEK AND WATERS THAT, BUT YET IT'S, YOU KNOW, PRETTYING UP THE PLACE IT'S BEAUTIFICATION.
UM, THE FIREHOUSES WOULD HAVE THEIR OWN WATER ACCESS, RIGHT.
IT WAS JUST BEING LIKE THE PARK ENTRANCE, THE PARK ENTRANCES IN THE PORTALS TO THE CITY.
WELL, THERE'S SOME HEARTY FLOWERS.
LIKE I NEVER WATER MY FLOWERS, BUT THEY'RE LILIES.
AND THEY DID GREAT WITHOUT LESS, REALLY DRY.
THIS WAS A DRY SUMMER, BUT YEAH, EVERYBODY NEEDS SOME WATER.
AND INITIALLY WHEN THEY'RE PLANTED, YOU KNOW, TO GET THE ROOTS, THIS WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
THEY DID WHAT WAS CALLED A FOUR CORNER CHALLENGE.
IT WAS AT BRANDT IN CHAMBERSBURG.
I REMEMBER THE CITY COUNCIL HAD A CORNER GROUP'S HAND.
THESE HAD A CORNER AND THEY, UM, DUG UP THAT CORNER AND THEY PLANTED AND THEY WOULD GO OUT AND I WENT AND WATERED MANY, MANY A DAY WITH TRAFFIC WISDOM BY.
BUT, UM, AND SO IT WAS A CHALLENGE, YOU KNOW, TO KEEP THAT CORNER GOING.
BUT AT THE END OF THAT SEASON, THE GRANT WAS NOT RENEWED AND NOTHING EVER BECAME NOTHING MORE BECAME OF IT.
SO THERE'S KIND OF BEEN NO BEAUTIFICATION SINCE THAT POINT.
SO, UM, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE, YOU KNOW, WOW, LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO ALL THE PARKS.
UM, YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE, OH, THEY TOOK ON SHOW GATE AND IT REALLY LOOKS NICE.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EVERYTHING AT ONCE.
BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT GET THE INTEREST THAT YOU'D WANT FOR ALL THOSE AREAS THAT WOULD BE TO TAKE SOMEBODY'S TAKE ON ONE PROJECT.
ONE OF THOSE THINGS LIKE THAT TEND TO BE KIND OF A SNOWBALL EFFECT.
YOU KNOW, YOU GET A SMALL AMOUNT FIRST YEAR AND PEOPLE TALK.
OR, HEY, WHO DID THOSE FLOWERS? I'D LOVE TO SEE, SEE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S DONE IN THE CITY HALL DONE.
CAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS JUST A THOUGHT, I DON'T KNOW HOW EARLY WE'RE WANT TO START THIS, BUT WE'VE GOT THE MARKET FOR TWO MORE WEEKS.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.
AND THEN WE HAVE TWO WEEKS IN NOVEMBER,
[00:40:01]
NOVEMBER THE 14TH AND THE 21ST AT THE NEW CITY BARN, WHICH IS FOR THOSE THAT AREN'T AWARE OF THAT OLD WHITE BARN, THAT'S BASICALLY ACROSS EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD FROM MYERS RIGHT NEXT TO THE NEW APARTMENT COMPLEX.UM, SO I'M JUST WONDERING, IS THIS TOO SOON TO MAYBE PUT A FLYER OUT THAT SAYS, HEY, WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, UH, YOU KNOW, FLOWER? THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE A GOOD IDEA TO START PASSING THOSE OUT NOW.
I CAN PROBABLY COME UP WITH SOMETHING JUST THAT YOU COULD PASS OUT AT THE, AT THE MARKET AND THEN, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE CAN GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT AND SAY, HEY, WE JUST, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST, GIVE US YOUR NAME AND YOUR CONTACT INFO.
WE CAN ALWAYS SAY, COME TO OUR NEXT A AND B MEETING.
I KNOW THE GIRL SCOUTS HAVE REACHED OUT TO JOSH.
A COUPLE OF TROOPS HAVE ONCE ABOUT THE BEES AND THEN ANOTHER TROOP WANTED TO DO FLOWERS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED WITH THAT, BUT I CAN REACH OUT TO THEM BECAUSE THEY'VE ASKED ME WHERE THE PROJECT, WHERE IT SAYS YEAH.
AND WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED, THOSE PROJECTS, ALL KINDS OF STALL.
AND IT'S ALL JUST KIND OF STALLED.
SO WE'RE HOPING FOR 2021, I CAN REACH BACK OUT TO THEM AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE READY TO GET THINKING ABOUT IT.
AND I'LL JUST REACH OUT TO, OKAY.
AND WE NEED TO GET WITH JOSH TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH PREP WORK IS GOING TO BE WITH THEM AS THEY I'M JUST THINKING RIGHT NOW, WE JUST NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT AND GET PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING HOW MUCH THE INTEREST IS RIGHT NOW.
SO I WILL TRY TO COME UP WITH A FLYER AND I'LL RUN IT BY JERRY TO MAKE SURE I'M NOT STEPPING ON ANYBODY'S TOES AND TRY TO GET IT READY FOR THE MARKET THIS SATURDAY.
SO WE CAN AT LEAST HAVE A FEW WEEKS TO, YOU KNOW, PASS THAT OUT.
SO WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME KIND OF INFO TOGETHER TO REACH OUT.
I'M NOT, I'M NOT TELLING YOU TO IT.
PLEASE ASK THEM IF THEY'RE INTERESTED IN THAT.
SO AT ONE POINT THEY SAID THEY WERE, AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE EMPLOYEES COME AND ACTUALLY HELP.
UM, AND WE REMEMBERED THEM SAYING THAT BEFORE COBIT HIT US.
WHO IS THIS? THE LOWE'S STORE THAT I THOUGHT THEY WERE WORKING WITH KELLY AND THEY DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO WORK WITH ANYBODY.
NOW SHANNON'S GONNA GET A COVER.
I'M NOT SURE HOW THOSE FEELINGS WERE KIND OF LEFT, SO, OKAY.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO KIND OF BE AF UM, SO WE NEED LIGHTS.
AND LIKE IN FLOWERS I, NO LIGHTS.
THEY GAVE, AND THEN THEY GAVE LIKE, UM, LIKE CHRISTMAS SITES AND THEN THEY GAVE SOME KIND OF AN INFLATABLE WHEN IT WAS WHERE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE LIGHTS IN THE HEIGHTS GIFT BASKET THAT LOWE'S GAVE LAST YEAR.
OH, IT WAS THE MAIN GRILLING, BUT A BIG BASKET WITH GRILLING.
IT DIDN'T HAVE THE LIGHTS IN IT.
HAD BIG SPATULAS AND JUST ALL THIS STUFF TO GROW UP.
DONE WITH THAT, THE NEW EVENTS.
SO THAT, THAT WOULD BRING BACK SOME ART TO ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION FLOWER GARDENING, PLANTINGS WOULD BRING BACK SOME BEAUTIFICATION TO ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION, AND THEN WE'LL CONTINUE WITH, UM, SOME OF THE FUN THINGS THAT WE DID, THE MOVIES.
UM, WHAT KIND OF TALK ABOUT THAT NEXT COUPLE OF TIMES AROUND WHERE WE WANT TO GO WITH THAT.
UM, THEY ALWAYS WANT THE MARITAL FESTIVAL IN THERE AND I'M FORGETTING, OH, 4TH OF JULY, 4TH OF JULY.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE CAN MAKE IT A BUSY YEAR, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT SPREAD OUT.
NOT ALL JUST SO COMPACT IN THE SUMMER THAT WE HAVE.
I THINK DOESN'T FEEL SO UNLESS THESE ARE ARCHER, VIEWINGS, GALLERY, SHOWINGS, WHATEVER TERM YOU WANT TO CALL IT, THEY TEND TO LEND THEMSELVES BETTER AS AN INDOOR ACTIVITY FOR WHEN WE'RE ALL NOT WANTING TO BE OUTSIDE ANYWAY.
AND YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE JUST PAINTINGS.
I MEAN, IT COULD BE PHOTOGRAPHY.
SOMEBODY MADE A QUILT SCULPTURE.
[00:45:01]
OKAY.W WELL, PERTAINING TO THE ACT SHOT I JUST HAVE HERE, I MIGHT NOTICE, WELL, WE HAVE THE FLYER TO GO OUT.
WE SHOULD ALSO HAVE LIKE A LITTLE ENTRY FORM AND THEN MAYBE DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS.
LIKE YOU SAY, YOU DON'T WANT THAT ONE PAINTING NEXT TO A THIRD GRADER.
SO EVERYONE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET INVOLVED, BUT WE SHOULD HAVE CERTAIN CATEGORIES OR CERTAIN AGE GROUPS WITH THAT.
SO ON THE ENTRY FORM, WE COULD ASK ANDREW FOR KIND OF CATEGORY.
DO WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO HAVE A SIGNUP THROUGH ELECTRONIC MEDIUM HAVING TO COLLECT THESE PAPER FORMS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE HIM COME ON ONE OF THE CITY WEBSITES OR FACEBOOK? YES.
BE SOMEBODY HERE HAS TO COLLECT IT.
I WAS JUST, I THOUGHT I'D THROW OUT THERE.
IT MIGHT BE SIMPLER TO DO THAT.
AND SOMEBODY CAN, I MEAN, I WOULDN'T MIND MANAGING THAT.
THAT'S NOT LIKE THEY WOULD JUST COME IN AND THEN YOU PRINT IT OUT AND I COULD GIVE IT TO YOU.
LIKE, I CAN EVEN SET IT UP IF YOU WANT THAT.
I'M NOT, I'M NOT SURE HE IS WITH THE CITY, BUT NOT WITH THE, WITH THE MOWER.
AND SO, I MEAN, I DON'T WANT HER AS AN EMPLOYEE TO TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU AS A BOARD MEMBER.
SO LET ME RUN ALL THAT BY SOME WELL, YEAH.
OH, I WAS JUST THINKING I WOULD HAVE PEOPLE'S ADDRESSES.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS, YOU KNOW.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S A WHOLE TECHNICAL THING.
I'VE GOT TO SIGN UP FOR FACEBOOK THAT SHE, I HAVEN'T EVEN, I'M NOT, I'M NOT ON MEAN EITHER YOU FIND THAT PERSON EITHER.
WHAT? THAT, SO JUST LIKE NOW THE 4TH OF JULY ENTRY, ENTRY FORMS, THEY CAN BRING THEM IN, MAIL THEM IN.
SO WE DO TAKE ALL FORMS. SO, I MEAN, WE CAN DO THAT.
I JUST CAN'T GO ONLINE AND FILL IT OUT.
ARE YOU A PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE RELUCTANT TO HAVE TO COME IN AND PHYSICALLY HAND IN A FORM? I GUESS WE HAD A DROP BOX OUTSIDE SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT ALL THOSE WAYS ARE LISTED SO THAT THEY KNOW ALL THE WAY WE HAVE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PEOPLE.
UM, I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF LET YOU GUYS KNOW IT'S BEEN A HORRIBLE YEAR THAT YOU CAME ON THE BOARD, BUT I THINK EVERYBODY HEARS GREG, GLAD THAT YOU GUYS ARE WITH US.
WE HOPE COVID IS GONE NEXT YEAR AND WE HAVE A BETTER YEAR OBVIOUSLY.
UM, BUT I THINK JERRY AGREES AND I KNOW CHERYL WILL THAT WE THINK THOSE TWO, I MEAN, I APOLOGIZE WHEN I GOT SICK AND I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, BUT IT HELPED AND SHOWED UP FOR THE DIFFERENT THINGS.
UM, TYPICALLY THE CITY DOES HAVE A VOLUNTEER DINNER THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN THIS YEAR EITHER.
UM, BUT I KNOW EVERYBODY'S APPRECIATIVE.
I THINK THAT HEBREW IS OUTSTANDING.
CAUSE WE LOOKED AT OTHER CITIES THAT COULDN'T DO ANYTHING, DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THEIR CITIZENS.
AND I BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE WERE JUMPING ON ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU WERE DOING AND BEING LIKE, HEY, WE WANT TO BE LIKE THAT.
IN FACT, I'M WATCHING PEOPLE COPY.
CAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE, YOU KNOW, SETTING THE STAGE AND THEY'RE WANTING TO DO FUN THINGS TOO.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT CAUSE IT'S BEEN ON MY HEART.
SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SHIRTS, SHIRTS.
I MEANT TO BRING MY END WHEN I SAW THIS, BUT SO, UM, THEY'VE HAD A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SHIRTS SINCE I'VE BEEN AROUND.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THAT.
UM, AND THEN THEY GOT THE RED, DRY FITS.
THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO BE GREAT.
THEY'RE HORRIBLE FOR CLEANING AND THAT KIND OF THING.
SO JOSH, LIKE I SAY, HAS BEEN OFF.
I WANTED TO SHOW YOU ALL, BUT I CAN'T GET INTO HIS OFFICE TO GET IT.
IF YOU ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH VENTS, WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT.
THE SHIRT WITH THE COLOR, LIKE THREE BUTTONS.
THEY WANT US TO STAY WITH RED, BUT I'M REALLY PUSHING TO GO TO THE GRAY.
NOW IN THE SUNLIGHT, DARK COLORS, I WOULD SAY BECOME PROBLEMATIC.
AND ALL THE OTHER BOARDS SHIRTS HAVE THE HUBER HEIGHTS LOGO WHERE OURS JUST HAS THE A AND B LOGO.
SO I'VE MENTIONED TO THEM THAT I WANTED TO BE THE HUBER HEIGHTS LOGO AND THE A AND D LOGO.
AND THEY'RE LIKE, OH, YOU GOT A DOUBLE LOGO.
[00:50:01]
YES.WE NEEDED TO SAY CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS.
BECAUSE IF YOU'RE JUST OUT THERE WITH THAT SHIRT ON, I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE FROM.
SO, SO WE'RE STILL TOSSING THAT AROUND, BUT WE DO WANT YOU GUYS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A SHIRT ON THAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT.
THAT YOU'RE PART OF THE CITY YOU'RE AT THAT EVENT BECAUSE YOU ARE PART OF IT.
UM, THIS YEAR WAS LIKE I SAID, WE DIDN'T HAVE AS MANY PEOPLE SHOW UP AND ATTEND.
SO, UM, WE GIVE YOU THAT SHIRT.
SO WE WANT THAT TO BE KNOWN, BUT I WAS GOING TO GET SIZES FROM EVERYONE SO WE COULD START ORDERING THEM.
BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE ME THAT WITHOUT SEEING THE SHIRT, THAT'S FINE TOO.
CAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WEAR THAT AT CHRISTMAS.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A COAT ON.
SO WE DEFINITELY WANT TO HAVE THEM IN TIME FOR EVENTS, THE INDOOR EVENTS, THAT KIND OF THING.
SO IF YOU WANT TO WAIT UNTIL I ACTUALLY SHOW YOU THE SHIRT, YOU CAN MAYBE JUDGE BETTER ON WHAT THE SIZE IS THAT YOU WOULD WANT.
I THINK THOSE RED ONES JUST WEREN'T SIZED.
THEY WERE VERY, VERY, VERY TIGHT.
SO IF YOU NORMALLY WORE A MEDIUM, YOU ORDERED A MEDIUM AND THEN IT CAME IN, IT WAS VERY SNUCK.
SO, UM, BUT IT'S VINCE THE SHIRT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, THE ONE THAT LIKE VINCE, WHERE YEAH, YEAH.
I'M FAMILIAR WITH THAT ONE AND HE LIKED IT SO WELL, HE HAS GONE OUT AND BOUGHT SEVERAL OUT OF YEAH, HE DID.
AND THERE'S JUST SAY CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS, PARKS AND REC.
SO WE WOULD SAY CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS, PARKS AND REC ON IT.
I THINK SO WE WOULD HAVE THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION, BUT THEN WE WOULD MADE IT FOR THE AP LEVEL OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE.
I HAVE TALKED WITH THE, I'M FORGETTING THE NAME ALREADY OVER HERE.
THE PEOPLE THAT RUN THE LITTLE TROPHY SHOP.
THEY, UM, THEY HAVE THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS LOGO DIGITIZED.
THAT'S WHERE WE GET ALL OF OUR STUFF, WHICH WILL KEEP THE COST DOWN.
THEY DO NOT HAVE THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION LOCAL.
THEY THAT, WHEN I BOUGHT MY TEACHER, THEY WENT AHEAD AND PUT, YEAH, THEY HAD CANDY INSTEAD, IF YOU WERE HIGH.
SO THEY PUT ALL THAT ON MY SHIRT FOR ME.
THEY HAVE IT BECAUSE THEY, THEY MADE OUR SHIRTS WORKING WITH THE OWNER ABOUT A MONTH, MAYBE SIX WEEKS.
THAT MIGHT BE LIKE, I MEAN, JUST WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IS WHAT I HEARD THAT THEY HAD JUST SOLD IT.
THAT MIGHT BE WHY GREG, BUT THEY DO HAVE ALL OF OUR IDEAS AND LOGOS DOWN THERE.
SO, BUT THAT'S WHERE WE WOULD GET INTO GWENDOLYN.
SO WE'LL GET THE SHIRTS, THE NEXT WE'LL GET SIZES AND STUFF AT THE NEXT MEETING.
MOVING ON TO THE APPROVAL OF LAST MONTH'S MINUTES WOULD YOU SHOULD ALL HAVE A COPY OF, OKAY.
COMING TO MEETINGS, THIS ONE AND THEN NOVEMBER 16TH IS OUR NEXT ONE.
UM, WHEN DID YOU GO BACK TO THE MINUTES? YEAH.
SO NOBODY HAD AN ISSUE WITH THEM AND I JUST WANTED WITHOUT OBJECTION, THE SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2020 ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
COMING MEETING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OUR ONE MEETING IN DECEMBER WILL BE THE 21ST FOUR DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION TONIGHT, BUT SOMETHING WE MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER WHEN WE HAVE IT THAT CHRISTMAS WEEK, WOULD WE MOVE IN A WEEK SINCE I'VE BEEN AROUND THIS CHRISTMAS, THE MONTH OF DECEMBER THAT MEETING'S USUALLY CANCELED BECAUSE IT'S BEING SO CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS SO WE CAN SURE.
TO TAKE CARE OF THAT NEXT YEAR.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS JUST WANTING TO THROW THAT AFTER.
CAUSE I'M NOT SURE WE HAVE THE LUXURY OF NOT HAVING A MEETING.
WE HAVE THAT LUXURY BECAUSE IT WOULD BE AFTER THE CHRISTMAS CONCERT.
ANYWAY, GO AHEAD AND GET YOUR GAME LOOKING IT.
