OKAY.[ AGENDA PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road July 15, 2021 6:30 P.M.]
EVENING, EVERYONE.WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET THE MEETING STARTED FOR TODAY.
POTTENGER SIDNEY SMITH HERE, DENNIS SNYDER HERE, RON LIFER HERE.
SO OPENING REMARKS BY THE CHAIR.
SO GOOD EVENING AGAIN, EVERYONE.
UM, SO TODAY, UM, IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT MEETING TODAY, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED HERE.
UH, ARE THERE ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS? OKAY.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO OLD BUSINESS PARTS MANAGER UPDATE.
UM, AS FAR AS PARKS GO, WE GOT A CONCERT TOMORROW.
UH, IF THE WEATHER HOLDS, UM, I'M NOT CANCELING THEM AGAIN BECAUSE THEY WE'VE ALREADY CANCELED THEM ONCE.
AND AS SOON AS I CANCEL IT, IT'S NOT GONNA RING.
SO YEAH, THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE COMING TOMORROW AND, UH, BRING YOUR PONCHOS AND WE'RE GONNA WATCH SOME MUSIC.
UH, SATURDAY NIGHT WE HAVE OUR FIRST CONCERT AT OUR FIRST MOVIE AT THE AMPHITHEATER.
WE'VE ALREADY HAD THE ONE AT CLOUD PARK.
UH, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE KUNG FU PANDA THREE.
UM, LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE WE GOT, UM, THIS WEEK.
I DON'T KNOW IF ALL OF YOU SAW ON THE PARKS AND REC, UH, BOARD PAGE OF VINCE AND I PUT TOGETHER A LITTLE THING.
WE HAD SOME DRAGONS TICKETS DONATED, AND IF ANYBODY GOES TO THE PARK WITH THEIR FAMILY RECORDS THEMSELVES SINGING, TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME.
WE GAVE THEM A SET OF TICKETS SO FAR, ONE PERSON PARTOOK OF THAT CHALLENGE, UM, AND GOT THEIR TICKETS.
I DID DRIVE TO THE PARK TODAY AND FOUND SOME FAMILIES THERE, ENJOYING SOME THINGS AND GAVE THEM SOME TICKETS AND TOLD THEM TO GO SATURDAY AND ENJOY THEMSELVES.
SO WE STILL HAVE SOME TICKETS LEFT.
SO IF YOU SEE ANYBODY IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, JUST TELL THEM, HEY, MOSEY ON OVER, YOU KNOW, JUST TAKE THEM A FEW MINUTES, SING THE SONG POSTED ON THERE.
UM, SO, BUT YOU KNOW, W WE'LL TRY TO DO SOME MORE EVENTS LIKE THAT AND LITTLE THINGS AS THE SUMMER MOVES ALONG.
UM, I'M SURE WE'LL RECEIVE MORE TICKETS TO GIVE AWAY.
AND I THINK IT'S GOOD WAYS TO GET PEOPLE ENGAGED AND OUT TO THE PARKS.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOME MORE INVOLVEMENT THERE.
UM, I'M TRYING TO THINK WHAT ELSE WE GOT.
I'M GONNA WAIT UNTIL THE REST OF THEM.
SO I THINK OTHER THAN THAT, WE'RE GOOD, RIGHT? YES.
BECAUSE ON TOMORROW I WILL CLOSE THE POST AND PREVENTING ANYONE ELSE POSTED ON IT.
AND THE BIGGEST PART OF THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, WE WERE GOING TO DO TRIVIA QUESTIONS AT THE CONCERT TOMORROW NIGHT, WHAT THE TICKETS ARE FOR THE NEXT DAY.
SO IT'S LIKE, WELL, SOME PEOPLE MAY ALREADY HAVE PLANS AND IF THE CONCERT GETS CANCELED, THEN NO, THOSE, I THINK 25 TICKETS WE HAD WERE JUST KIND OF GO TO WASTE.
SO TRY AND GET THEM, GET THEM GONE EARLY FARMERS WORK IT.
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE FARMER'S MARKET AT THIS POINT OF THE SEASON.
I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE IN AWHILE.
VINCE HAS BEEN GRACIOUSLY RUNNING THAT IN HIS SYDNEY HAS BEEN THERE HELPING.
UM, AND IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS BEEN THERE AND I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU.
UM, BUT, UH, YEAH, IT'S, IT'S STILL THERE.
IT'S STILL GOING ON SATURDAYS.
YEAH, I GUESS WE DID HAVE, UM, AND YOU CAN SPEAK TO THIS A LITTLE MORE.
WE DID HAVE A GROUP OF HIGH SCHOOLERS COME PLAY MUSIC SATURDAY.
UM, THEIR DAD REACHED OUT, SAID, HEY, YOU KNOW, THEY STARTED A BAND.
THEY'D NEVER PLAYED OUT BEFORE WE HEARD THAT YOU HAVE MUSIC AT THE FARMER'S MARKET.
UM, AND THEY CAME AND FROM WHAT I HEAR, THEY DID A GREAT JOB.
IT'S THE SON, THE DAD'S IN THE BAND WILDCAT ROAD.
SO THEY'VE BEEN AROUND FOR AWHILE AND HAVE PLAYED VARIOUS PLACES.
SO, UH, LAST SATURDAY IT WAS GREAT BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY HAD TWO BANDS.
SO WHILE KAT WROTE AND APOLLO'S CREATION, WHICH OF THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, UM, BOTH DID GRADES, UM, EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TO THE FARMER'S MARKET ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE.
UH, THEY HAD A GOOD CROWD JUST SITTING OVER THERE AT THE AMPHITHEATER AS WELL.
SO I THINK MUSIC AT THE FARMER'S, MARKET'S A GREAT IDEA.
UM, SO I'D SAY, WELL, I DID HAVE THE DATE AND DULCIMER CLUB REACH OUT TO ME TODAY WANTING TO COME DO A SHOW.
THEY SAID THEY CAN GO PLUGGED OR UNPLUGGED WHICHEVER WE WANT.
SO I TOLD HER, LET'S GO FULL AMPLIFIER.
I DON'T KNOW HOW WILD AND CRAZY THEY GET WITH DULCIMERS, BUT LET'S, LET'S TRY IT OUT.
SO THERE'LL BE THERE SOMETIME IN AUGUST.
SO WHAT ONLY ONE THING I WOULD SAY JOSH IS, UM, WHEN IT COMES TO THE MUSIC IS, UM, WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL OF THE VENDORS ALONG THE EDGE AND IN FRONT OF THEM.
UM, BECAUSE IF SOMEONE SAID THEY HAVE, THEY ACTUALLY FELT AS IF THEY WERE YELLING.
[00:05:01]
TOLD HIM TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, WE KEEP THAT VOLUME DOWN AND RIGHT.WELL THE WORST WAS LAST YEAR AT THE, WHEN WE HAD THE MIRROR GOLD FARMER'S MARKET, YOU COULDN'T, I MEAN, YOU COULDN'T TALK TO ANY OF THE VENDORS.
IT WAS JUST KINDA LIKE WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU WANTED AND PASS IT TO THEM BECAUSE THE BAND WAS, WE DIDN'T WANT THAT AGAIN.
THAT'S THE OTHER THING I'LL DO ON 4TH OF JULY WENT GREAT.
UH, WE DID PUT A CAR COUNTER OUT AT 4TH OF JULY THIS YEAR, AND FROM 8:00 AM, TILL 11:45 PM.
WE HAD 2,700 CARS COME INTO THE PARK.
UM, SO I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT NUMBER OF CARS CAME IN OR COULD EVEN FIT IN THERE.
UM, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE HAD 2,700.
UM, SO WE HAD GREAT TURNOUT, THE NEW LAYOUT.
WE GOT A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK ON THE NEW LAYOUT.
UM, KIND OF HAVING EVERYTHING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK, A FEW, A LITTLE THINGS WE'LL DO DIFFERENTLY NEXT YEAR.
BUT, UM, OVERALL 4TH OF JULY WAS A BIG SUCCESS.
SO RON WAS THERE TO PARK ALL THE FOOD TRUCKS.
SO WHILE I RAN AROUND LIKE CRAZY, I TO GET SOME TON OF JOBS, SOME OF THOSE, SO THEY DON'T GET STUCK.
NOBODY GOT STUCK AT THE FOURTH, BUT THE NIGHT BEFORE WE HAD ONE, A SINK IN A FEW INCHES, BUT THE TRUCK DOES WEIGH 27,000 POUNDS.
SO HE'LL SINK IN THE ASPHALT ON A HOT DAY.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOSH OR COMMENTS? OKAY.
WHY MCA AT THE HEIGHTS UP THERE? YEAH.
SO, UM, FOR THE MOST PART, UM, SHELTER RENTALS CONTINUE TO GO WELL, UM, THEY'RE BOOKING UP, UM, WE'RE PRETTY MUCH BOOKED SOLID, UM, THROUGH THE MONTH OF AUGUST, WHICH IS GOOD.
PEOPLE ARE GETTING OUT, HAVING GATHERINGS WITH THEIR FAMILIES, UM, USER GROUP WISE.
UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK EVERYBODY'S IN PLACE.
I THINK WE'RE WAITING ON A COUPLE OF THINGS, UM, FOR REC SOCCER AND FOOTBALL, UH, MAINLY SURROUNDING THE CONCESSION STAND.
UM, I DID EMAIL DAVE TONIGHT, BRIAN.
I SAID, YOU GUYS TALK AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WORKS FOR YOU GUYS.
UH, HE, HE'S GOOD TO THAT ONE THAT WEEK, JUST TO GO AHEAD AND DO WHAT HE NORMALLY DOES.
WE'LL JUST SEND OUR COACHES OUT TO OTHER PARTS, COTTONWOOD AND STUFF.
BUT, UM, YEAH, I THINK JOSH, DIDN'T ASK YOU TO REACH OUT TO SOFTBALL ABOUT CONCESSION STAN HANDOVER.
I THINK THAT WE, YEAH, YOU SAID THAT EMAIL.
I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE IF YOU JUST WANT TO LET BRIAN KNOW.
AND CAUSE BRIAN IS THE ONE THAT WOULD BE USING IT FOR REC SOCCER.
THEY START AUGUST 2ND, THAT CLOUD.
UM, WARRIOR SOCCER DID REACH OUT AND SAY THAT THEY WOULD BE USING THE PARK IN OCTOBER FOR THEIR NORMAL CLASSIC.
AND THEN, UM, VALLEY VIEW HIGH SCHOOL THAT WILL, HE REACHED OUT.
UM, DO YOU HAVE THREE GIRLS TENNIS TOURNAMENTS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO RUN ON SATURDAYS? UM, I DID.
CAROL WAS FINE WITH THE DATES.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE THERE THAT SATURDAY AND I'VE RECEIVED PAYMENT FOR THOSE.
SO HE'S BOOKED AND THEN HE'S GOT THREE DATES IN THE SPRING THAT ALREADY HAD THE DAYS FOR AS WELL.
SO, SO WE'LL GET THAT CAUGHT UP AND, UH, REC SOCCER.
THEIR FIRST GAMES ARE AUGUST 28TH.
SO EARLIER THAT WEEK IS WHEN WE REALLY NEED TO GET IN THERE SO WE CAN MAKE SURE EVERYTHING THAT'S GOOD.
AND THEN AS SOON AS YOU HAVE YOUR FIELD SIZES, I MEAN, YOU GUYS JUST KIND OF USE THE STANDARD, BUT JUST GIVE ME THAT SO I CAN MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S LAID OUT GOALS SET AND ALL THAT BECAUSE MOST OF THE GOALS HAVE BEEN OLD.
UM, WE HAVE A MEETING ON THE JULY 22ND.
SO AFTER THAT, WE'LL FIGURE THAT OUT.
CAUSE SUNDAY NIGHT, OUR REGISTRATION'S IN, I WAS COMING BACK THE END OF THE MONTH.
WHAT'D SHE SAY? SHE WAS LIKE JULY 30TH.
WORKED OUT WITH FLAG FOOTBALL, MOVED BACK OVER THERE.
THOSE FIELDS ARE SHUT DOWN FOR THE YEAR.
THEY'RE MOVING BACK ACROSS BY THE SPLASH PAD WHERE THEY WORK 10 DAYS, IT'S STILL UNDERWATER OF THE GOAL OR THE SOCCER FIELDS.
NONE, NONE OF THEM ALL IN, AND HOPEFULLY AFTER THIS YEAR, THEY'LL ALL BE ALUMINUM BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE GOALS, I MEAN, IF THEY, IF THEY GET TIPPED OVER, THEY'RE GOING TO KILL US.
SO WE'RE HOPING TO GET ALL OF THE BIG, HEAVY ONES OUT AND GET IT REPLACED BY MOVING ON LONDON AND SEASON.
UM, AND UH, NONE OF THEM ARE PERMANENT AND THEY'RE ALL, YOU KNOW, THEY ALL GET PULLED BUTTS.
WE USE OUR TRACTOR THAT HAD USED TO HAVE A BIG, A BOOT ON THE FRONT THAT WE COULD PICK THEM UP WITH AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT TRACTOR OR THAT ATTACHMENT.
SO SOME OF THOSE BIG, HEAVY ONES DON'T MOVE A LOT AND YOU'VE JUST GOT TO GET LEFT OUT AND THEY'RE MORE OF THE BACK, BUT YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ON PAGE 9, 7, 8, 9, WE'LL HAVE THE OLDER BOWLS ON.
UM, FOR, AS FOR THE KROGER CLARK CENTER, UM, IT WAS ON
[00:10:01]
THE NEWS YESTERDAY ON CHANNEL SEVEN.UM, THEY CAME OUT, DID A STORY ABOUT HOW THE WEATHER'S IMPACTING THE OUTDOOR POOL SEASON ACROSS THE AREA.
UM, SO, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY DID SOME SHOTS INSIDE.
UM, AND THEN MY BALD HEAD WAS ON TV, UM, WHICH WAS BAD, BUT THAT'S THAT'S LIFE.
UM, BUT THE POOL'S GOING WELL.
IT'S JUST WHETHER IT'S JUST HAVING, I MEAN, WE WERE PACKED TODAY WHEN I WAS OVER THERE.
I MEAN, IT WAS, IT WAS JAM PACKED.
UM, TOMORROW IT'S SUPPOSED TO RAIN SATURDAY.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO RAIN, SO I CAN'T CONTROL MOTHER NATURE, BUT, UM, OPERATIONALLY WISE IT'S, IT'S WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.
UM, I THINK, UH, JIM BELL SAID EARLIER THIS WEEK AT CITY STAFF MEETING THAT IT WAS ABOUT $3,000 BEHIND 2019, WHICH WAS THE LAST REGULAR FULL SEASON.
BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER, WE DIDN'T HAVE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND THIS YEAR BECAUSE IT WAS TOO COLD.
SO, UM, IT'S RIGHT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.
SO WE'LL, WE'LL CONTINUE TO GRIND IT OUT TILL THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST AND THEN WE'LL GO TO WEEKENDS ONLY.
SO THAT'S ALL I GOT IS THIS, THIS IS THE FIRST OR THE SECOND YEAR THAT WE'VE DONE RESONANT.
WE, WE DID, UM, MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS LAST YEAR.
UM, AND THEN WE ADDED SUNDAYS THIS YEAR.
SO IT'S SUNDAY, MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY ARE RESIDENTS OF PASSOVER AND ONLY DAYS.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS? OKAY.
MOVE ON TO A NEW BUSINESS, UH, PROGRAMMING.
SO, UM, AS I STATED, I WILL CONTINUE TO PUT PROGRAMMING ON THE LIST HERE SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT IT EITHER PROJECT FOR THIS YEAR OR PROJECT FOR NEXT YEAR AS WELL.
UM, WHAT I'M GOING TO DO SPECIFICALLY FOR NEXT YEAR, IT STARTS DEVELOPING A BIG ROSTER OF IDEAS AND THINGS THAT WE KNOW FOR THAT WE WANT TO DO.
UM, AND, BUT THIS YEAR I'LL DO A SEPARATE ONE AS WELL.
UM, SO, UM, WHAT I WILL DO IS CHRIS CAME UP WITH AN IDEA FOR, UM, THE FALL.
SO I'LL HAVE HIM TALK ABOUT THAT AND THEN ANOTHER ORGANIZATION, WHICH I'LL TALK ABOUT AS WELL.
UM, THEY WANTED TO SEE IF WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING ELSE AS WELL IN THE FALL.
SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO CHRISTOPHER.
SO, UH, WE DID NOT HOST THE, UM, HEIGHT'S HALF MARATHON THIS YEAR JUST BECAUSE THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE PANDEMIC AND, AND WHAT, UM, AND LACK OF PLANNING TIME, REALLY WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO.
SO WE ARE LOOKING TO DO A SERIES OF, UM, THREE RACES, THIS FALL 5K AND 10 K DISTANCE TO FIVE KS.
AND I THINK ONE, 10 K IS WHAT OUR GOAL IS.
UM, BUT ONE OF THE DATES THAT WE PROPOSED OR STARTED TALKING ABOUT WAS OCTOBER 30TH, WHICH IS THE LAST DAY OF THE FARMER'S MARKET, UM, DOING A COSTUME TYPE THEME RUN, UM, ON THAT SATURDAY, CAUSE THAT'S RIGHT THE DAY BEFORE HALLOWEEN.
UM, I KNOW IN THE PAST WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT, I THINK LAST YEAR WE TALKED ABOUT DOING A PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST.
UM, CAUSE I BELIEVE IT, A MOVIE AT THE ROSE DON'T DON'T, THEY HANDOUT PUMPKIN.
SO, SO MAYBE, YOU KNOW, KIDS COULD GET THEIR PUMPKINS THERE, BRING THEM BACK ON THE 30TH AND UM, MAYBE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND OTHER BOARD MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO JUDGE PUMPKINS.
UM, OUR PLAN AT THE Y RIGHT NOW IS TO NOT, NOT TO HOST A HARVEST PARTY LIKE WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST WITH SULFUR GROVE, UM, THIS YEAR AND LOOKING AT GOING BACK TO THAT NEXT YEAR.
BUT WE ALSO THOUGHT AT THE SAME TIME, MAYBE WE COULD DO A TRUNK OR TREAT AND THE BACK PARKING LOT AT THE PARK CENTER DURING THE DAY.
SO IF WE'VE GOT KIDS THAT ARE DRESSED UP IN COSTUMES THAT ARE RUNNING AND WE CAN GET ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS TO, TO BRING THEIR CARS AND WE DO A TRUNK OR TREAT RIGHT THERE NEXT TO THE AQUATIC CENTER AS WELL.
UM, IT'S THE LAST DAY AT THE FARMER'S MARKET.
SO MAYBE THAT REALLY TIES IN TO GET MORE PEOPLE ON THE LAST DAY OF THE NORMAL, REGULAR SEASON OF THE FARMER'S MARKET.
UM, THE OTHER DATE THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT, I KNOW IT'S NOT REALLY THIS BOARD'S EVENT, BUT IS ALSO DOING ONE RIGHT BEFORE THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL ON SEPTEMBER 11TH.
UM, SO WE'LL, WE'LL MAKE, UH, WE'LL REACH OUT AND SEE IF WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION THERE.
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST LOOKING AT WAYS THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, THESE EVENTS ARE RIGHT THERE AND THE WISE PARKING BACK, BACK LOT, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY.
SO HOW CAN WE START TO DO MORE OF THOSE THINGS TOGETHER AND KIND OF COMBINE EVERYTHING TOGETHER TO MAKE IT A REALLY GREAT COMMUNITY DAY.
SO, UM, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO AND WE'LL MOVE FORWARD, UH, WITH OUR PLANNING AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ALL THE, HOW IT ALL WORKS TOGETHER.
SO WE'LL BRING IN AN OUTSIDE A LOCAL COMPANY TO DO THE TIMING CAUSE WE'LL DO CHIP TIMING.
SO, UM, THERE'S A COUPLE OF COMPANIES, UM, SPEEDY FEATS, ONE THAT'S BIG IN THE AREA.
UM, CAN'T STOP RUNNING IS ONE THAT COMES OUT OF PICK WELL THAT WE'VE FOR, FOR THE HALF MARATHON.
UM, SO THEY'LL, THEY'LL DO ONLINE REGISTRATION.
WE'LL DO REGISTRATION AT THE Y AND THEN ON THE DAY OF THE RACE, THEY'LL SHOW UP AND THEY'LL DO THE CHIP TIMING FOR EVERYBODY.
SO THE RESULTS ARE INSTANTANEOUS,
[00:15:01]
BUT WE'LL HAVE VOLUNTEERS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, AT THE WATER STOPS.I KNOW THINK ALEX IN PAST YEARS DURING THE HALF MARATHONS BEEN OUT THERE, I THINK VINCE IS, DID YOU HELP WITH THE HALF MARATHON ONE YEAR? YES.
SO IT WILL BE WHY, UH, WHY, UH, WHY LED, UM, EVENT, BUT IT'S JUST TRYING TO GET PEOPLE OUT TO AN EVENT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN RIGHT AFTER WITH THE FARMER'S MARKET.
THE RUNS ARE, SEEMS LIKE ANY MAJOR HOLIDAY WILL BE ANOTHER BOOK I'M SURE.
AND I KNOW THE VALLEY ROAD RUNNERS CLUB.
I KNOW THEY HAVE AN ACT OF THE SKIN.
WE'VE GOT SOME CONNECTIONS TO GET ON THEIR SCHEDULE AND GET THEM INVOLVED A LITTLE BIT.
CAUSE WE'VE, WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE HALF MARATHON WITH THEM ALREADY FOR NEXT YEAR.
UM, YOU KNOW, SO WE'LL, WE'LL KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
THE OTHER THING THAT WE DO HAVE COMING UP IS, UM, WE DO HAVE A STRONG KIDS TRIATHLON AT THE KROGER AQUATIC CENTER.
IT'S THE FIRST SATURDAY IN AUGUST, WHICH I THINK IS, UH, EIGHTH, SEVENTH OR EIGHTH.
UM, SO THAT'LL START AT SEVEN 30 IN THE MORNING.
UM, SO YOU GUYS ARE MORE THAN WELCOME.
UM, SO IF YOU WANT TO COME UP SATURDAY, FIRST SATURDAY IN AUGUST, SO YOU SAID IT WAS STRONG KIDS YEAH.
WE'LL BE DOING THE TIMING FOR THAT.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS? SO, UM, BEFORE WE MOVE ON, UM, SO WHAT ARE YOUR, SO CHRIS, LET ME ASK YOU THIS REAL QUICK.
WILL YOU ALL BE DOING THE TRUNK OR TREAT, OR ARE YOU LOOKING FOR US TO HELP WITH THE TRUNK OR TREAT AS WELL? AND IF YOU GUYS WANT TO BE INVOLVED, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO BE INVOLVED, BUT IF IT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU GUYS WANT TO BRING YOUR CARS AND BACK THEM IN AND HAND OUT CANDY, I THINK THAT WOULD BE PERFECT.
SO THE QUESTION IS, YOU KNOW, ARE YOU ALL INTERESTED IN THAT? DO YOU ALL WANT TO DO THAT AS A GROUP? SO IS THAT IT'S OPEN FOR DISCUSSION? SEE ME? SORRY.
UH, YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT.
RON, IF I'M HERE, MY TRAVEL SCHEDULE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED A LITTLE BIT.
I KNOW THAT WEEKEND, BUT I THINK I WENT BACK TO BACK TRIPS.
MATT, IS IT MATT OR MATTHEW? MATT.
I'M SURE I'LL BE THERE ANYWAY.
UM, JUST SPENDING THE TIME THAT'S THE LAST WEEK IN A FOOTBALL BEFORE PLAYOFFS, SO, YEP.
AND I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND, UM, THE SAME THING IT'S JUST DEPENDING ON TIME SCHEDULE, BUT IF I'M ABLE TO BE THERE, I'LL PROBABLY BE THERE AT, YOU KNOW, REPRESENTING THE OTHER ORGANIZATION ANYWAYS.
BUT I'LL TRY TO PARK NEXT TO YOU GUYS.
SO THEN THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I TOOK, BECAUSE YOU ALSO MENTIONED, UM, DURING THE PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST, I KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T HEARD YET, BUT I DON'T.
I THINK THE TIMING FOR THE PUMPKINS THIS YEAR MAY BE SHIFTED A LITTLE, UH, WHERE THEY'RE, THEY MAY BE HANDED OUT EARLIER AND THEN THEY MAY DO SOMETHING AT THEIR MUSIC ROSE CENTER.
UM, FOR, AS FOR THE, UM, WHAT'S IT CALLED PUMPKIN GLOW.
SO THEY THEY'LL DO A SMALL PUMPKIN GLOW OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT I THINK I'M WAITING ON THE FINAL DETAILS FOR THAT.
SO WHILE WE'RE ON THE TOPIC OF HALLOWEEN, UM, I I'D ONE EVENT I'D LIKE TO SEE US TRY TO DO, OR AT LEAST HOST TO THIS YEAR.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT THE DOG PARK AND WE GOT THAT BEAUTIFUL TRACK AROUND THE EDGE.
UM, WE'VE HAD SOME PEOPLE EXPRESS WANTING TO DO A DOG COSTUME PARADE WHERE WE COULD ESSENTIALLY HAVE PEOPLE SIT ALONG THE WALKING TRAIL AND PEOPLE COULD WALK THEIR DOGS IN COSTUMES AROUND IT AND, YOU KNOW, HAVE SOME LITTLE STUFF OUT THERE.
THE DOG DOES NOT, DOES IT HAVE TO BE A DOG? I MEAN, IF YOU'VE GOT A CAT OR LIZARD YOU WANT TO DRESS UP, I GUESS IT COULD JUST BE A PET PARADE.
WE WON'T, WE WON'T PUT A TITLE ON IT.
BUT, UM, BUT YEAH, SO WE'VE HAD SOME PEOPLE EXPRESS WANTING TO DO IT A BIT LIKE THAT.
UM, SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY HAVING THAT WALKING TRAIL ALONG THE OUTSIDE, UM, WOULD MAKE IT EASY TO DO.
UM, AND LIKE I SAID, PEOPLE COULD JUST COME SIT AROUND THE TRACK WHILE PEOPLE WALK THEIR ANIMALS AROUND AND NO WE'LL DO IT.
[00:20:01]
IT'S THEIR INTEREST TO DO THAT? I'LL START NOT THE SAME DAY AS ALL OF THIS OTHER STUFF.MAYBE THE 23RD INSTEAD OF THE 30TH.
UM, BRIAN, NOW THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD HELP, HELP AND LEAVE.
SO OF COURSE IT DEPENDS ON THE SCHEDULE, RIGHT.
CAUSE IT'S JUST ALWAYS, THERE'S STILL SOCCER TOURNAMENTS OUT, NOT WORRIED, BUT THERE'S ANOTHER ONE AT NIGHT.
UM, I DON'T KNOW IF I'M ANY OF MY KIDS ARE PLAYING THAT YET.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE DEPENDING.
I DON'T HAVE A DOME, BUT I'M ALL FOR, I MEAN, YOU CAN BE A JUDGE
SO ALEX WE'RE, DEPENDING ON YOU, RON DEPENDS ON YOUR SCHEDULE.
I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA AS WELL.
SO WHAT I'M GOING TO ASK IS THAT SOMEONE ON THE BOARD VOLUNTEER TO TAKE LEAD AND WORK WITH JOSH, JUST TO DO THE SCHEDULING AND GET THE ANNOUNCEMENTS OUT AND ALL THAT FUN STUFF.
UM, NOT, YOU WILL TAKE THE LEAD AND PROVIDE INFORMATION TO JOSH AND WORK WITH THEM ON THE SCHEDULE.
UM, JOSH HAS PLAYED IS ABOUT AS HIGH AS THIS DIES HERE.
SO I'M TRYING TO TAKE SOME OF IT OFF, BUT UM, IF THERE'S ANYONE AVAILABLE TO DO THAT, LET ME KNOW.
LET ME KNOW BY NEXT WEEK, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE, IF THERE'S INTEREST, IF NOT, YOU KNOW WHAT WE'LL WORK TOGETHER AND WE'LL FIGURE OUT HOW TO, HOW TO GET THIS DONE.
SO WE'LL SAY THAT THAT WILL BE AT LEAST ONE OF OUR EVENTS FOR THIS YEAR.
WHAT DO WE CALL IT? A DOG, A PET PARADE OR YEAH, WELL, WE'LL COME UP WITH A CLEVER NAME.
WELL, YEAH, WE DON'T WANT TO JUST PIGEONHOLE IT TO DOGS.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO GET IN TROUBLE FOR THAT.
LET SOMEONE BRING A CAT IF THEY WANT, OR I KNOW PLENTY OF PEOPLE WITH THAT DRESS UP THERE FOR THE DRAGONS.
I JUST CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT IF THEY BRING SOMETHING OTHER THAN A DOG, THAT IT'S GONNA MAKE IT OUT OF THERE, BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S SO, SO THE ONLY OTHER THING IS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESIDENTS IN THE AREA ARE AWARE BECAUSE PARKING IS LIMITED IN THE PARK ITSELF.
SO THEY, THERE WOULD BE ADDITIONAL PARKING ON THE SIDE.
SO WE DID TRUNK OR TREAT AND THE PUMPKIN CARVING.
UM, SO I THINK THE, I THINK WE CAN DO PUMPKIN CARVING MULTIPLE TIMES, UM, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.
UM, SO DOING IT AT A FARMER'S, MARKET'S A GREAT IDEA.
UM, AND I CAN DEFINITELY SUPPLY LIKE CLOTHES, SOME CANDLES, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE, UM, SEEN VERY WELL.
UM, SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA TO DO IT THERE AS WELL.
JUST HAVE THOSE COME OUT AND SHOW THEIR TALENT.
UM, SO IF YOU WILL INTERESTED IN HELPING WITH THAT AS WELL, I'LL BE AT THE FARMER'S MARKET ANYWAY.
SO, UM, SO I WILL DEFINITELY BE HELPING WITH THAT AND GETTING THE WORD OUT.
UM, BUT IF YOU ALL ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING WITH THAT AS WELL, I THINK WE CAN DO THAT, SIR.
AND ONE OTHER THING THAT I THINK WOULD GO ALONG WITH THAT, IF ANYBODY IS WILLING TO GO TALK TO PLACES LIKE, UH, RURAL KING MENARDS LOWE'S HOME DEPOT THAT MIGHT HAVE SOME OF THE SMALL PUMPKIN CARVING KITS, UM, THAT THEY'D BE WILLING TO DONATE AN AMOUNT OF THAT WHEN WE GIVE OUT THE PUMPKINS, UM, THAT WE COULD ALSO GIVE THOSE OUT AS WELL TO PEOPLE.
UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA TO GIVE THEM, YOU KNOW, CAUSE IF WE GIVE THEM ALL OF THE SUPPLIES, WE'RE MORE THAN LIKELY TO GET THEM BACK FOR THE GLOW.
IF YOU GIVE THEM SOME OF THE SUPPLIES, THEN IT SITS ON THEIR PORCH AND ROTS.
SO YES, IF ANYBODY'S WILLING TO DO THAT OR IF YOU KNOW OF SOMEBODY AND YOU WANT TO SEND ME THEIR CONTACT, I CAN MAKE PHONE CALLS, BUT ALL RIGHT.
ANY QUESTIONS APARTMENTS, IT WILL BE AT KITTY HAWK.
SO IT IS CALLED FIRE FIELD AT KITTY KITTY, KITTY, KITTY HAWK.
WELL, WELL AND HONESTY, THE DOG PARTS INSIDE KITTY HAWK PARK.
SO FAR-FIELD KITTY HAWK, CORRECT.
[00:25:01]
SO, UM, ARE THERE ANY MORE IDEAS FOR PROGRAMMING OR DISCUSSION AT ALL? OKAY, SO I DO HAVE ONE.THERE IS, UM, ALSO IF FOR THOSE OF YOU ON FACEBOOK, THERE'S A DISCUSSION STARTED ALREADY ABOUT GEOCASHING.
UM, AND WHAT WE'RE FINDING OUT IS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF SITES WITHIN HUBER.
SO WHAT I WANTED TO DO IS FIND OUT SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT GEOCASHING HOLLER, HOW IT WORKS.
I HAVE THE BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF HOW IT WORKS, BUT I ALSO WANT TO SEE HOW IT WORKS FOR US TO, UM, PUT IN NEW SITES FOR FOLKS TO GO TO WHETHER IT'S AT BUSINESSES OR IN THE PARTS OR OTHER SITES WITHIN THE CITY AS WELL.
UM, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, MAKE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT AND GET IT OUT THERE.
SO I, UM, SO THERE'S A CALL OUT FOR FOLKS WHO HAVE TO SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE, SO WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION JUST TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE APP AND HOW EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS.
AND THEN WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL BRING IT UP TO THE BOARD HOPEFULLY NEXT MONTH, UM, FOR YOU ALL TO, TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT AS WELL.
UM, AND THEN WE CAN FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, HOW WE WANT TO PROBABLY WANT TO DO IT IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S PART OF ONE OR TWO IDEAS THAT, UM, AND MATT HAT AS WELL.
UM, SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT THE GPS PIECE IN THERE, THE GEOCASHING AS WELL, UM, IN THERE AS WELL.
SO BECAUSE THERE ARE A TON OF PEOPLE THAT DO GEOCACHE IN THE CITY THAT I'M FINDING OUT.
AND SO I HAVEN'T DONE IT YET, BUT I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA TO, TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT AND JUST TO FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, TO GET PEOPLE OUT OUT AND EXPLORING THE CITY, ESPECIALLY SOME OF THE LANDMARKS, KNOWING WHERE OUR PARTS ARE, KNOWING THAT WE HAVEN'T DUMPED PARK, KNOWING THAT WE HAD AN AMPLE AMPHITHEATER THERE AND KNOWING THAT WE HAVE A FARMER'S MARKET.
SO KNOWING ABOUT THOSE SPECIAL EVENTS THAT WE DO EVERY YEAR, UM, BECAUSE I AM STILL RUNNING INTO PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS.
SO I THINK IF WE CAN DO THAT AND GET THE WORD OUT, I THINK WILL HELP NOT ONLY US, BUT THE CITY AND THE RESIDENTS AS WELL.
SO, UM, SO IF YOU AREN'T FACEBOOK, UM, GO AHEAD AND FIND THAT POST I THINK IS ON EVERYTHING HE WRITES, I THINK.
UM, BUT, UM, BUT IT'S, UH, RIGHT NOW IT'S A GOOD DISCUSSION.
THERE ARE A TON OF PEOPLE THAT LIKE IT, SO I'M JUST WAITING TO GET SOME MORE INFORMATION ON IT.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY.
IS IT CALLED THE PLAYING GEO PASSION? CAUSE I DID NOTICE THAT SOMEBODY ASKED IF ANYBODY PLAYED GEO ADMIN, IT'S OCCASIONALLY REFERRED TO AS THAT.
I JUST WANT THE CHARLOTTE'S LIKE, THAT DOES SOUND RIGHT, BUT IT ALSO DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT WHEN PEOPLE GET REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT IT.
SO THEY GET A LITTLE OFFENDED IF YOU SAY, YEAH, BUT IT CAN BE A LOT OF FUN.
AND I WAS TELLING EVENTS, ONE OF THE IDEAS I HAD WAS MAYBE DOING A SCAVENGER HUNT THROUGH THE GEOCACHE.
WE CAN SEND PEOPLE TO DIFFERENT SMALL BUSINESSES TO GET THEM INVOLVED, MAYBE GET SOME PRIZES DONATED.
SO FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR TEAMS, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT IDEAS THAT CAN WE USED.
UM, LAST MONTH THERE WAS A EVENT HOSTED IN DOWNTOWN DAYTON, IT WAS A LIVE MURDER MYSTERY.
AND YOU WENT TO DIFFERENT SPOTS THROUGH, THERE WAS AN APP, THEY HAD A COMPANY THAT CAME IN AND SET UP AND YOU WENT TO DIFFERENT SPOTS WALKING THROUGH DOWNTOWN DAYTON AND TEAMS. IT COSTS $50 A TEAM TO GET TO PARTICIPATE.
AND YOU DOT CLUES THAT WERE OPENED UP ON YOUR APP, YOU SOLVE PUZZLES AND IT SENDS YOU TO YOUR NEXT SPOT.
SO IT WAS A, IT WAS KIND OF GEOCASHING BASED.
SO IT'S A LOT OF FUN WE CAN EVEN DO ON THE BIKES.
SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM IF THERE ARE NO MORE COMMENTS.
UM, SO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE LIST IS THE PRIORITY LISTS MISSION.
SO MY GOAL TODAY WAS TO TALK ABOUT THE PRIORITY LIST, UM, AN EMAIL THAT OUT TO EVERYONE.
UM, SO WHAT I WILL SAY IS I DIDN'T GET RESPONSES FROM EVERYONE, BUT I THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION, UM, OR A GOOD RATING.
SO, UM, HAS EVERYONE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE LIST BECAUSE IT IS, YES.
SO, UM, BASED ON, UM, THE RESPONSES THAT I DID RECEIVE BACK, UM, HERE'S WHERE I WILL SAY THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ITEMS ON HERE THAT I DID CROSS OFF AUTOMATICALLY BECAUSE THEY WERE MORE PROGRAMMING.
UM, AND THEN AT LEAST ONE ITEM ON HERE WAS ALSO, UH, FOCUSED ON MAINTENANCE.
UH, AND THEN THE OTHER ITEMS I JUST WENT AHEAD AND LEFT ON.
UM, SO AT THE TOP OF THE LIST AND I CALCULATE, AH, THERE WE GO AT THE TOP OF THE LIST HERE WE HAVE, UM, ADD BASKETBALL COURTS IN THE NORTH TO A LOCATION NORTH OF 70.
ONE OF THE DISCUSSIONS WAS TO PUT IT NEAR THE AMPHITHEATER AND THE CROWBAR AQUATIC CENTER.
[00:30:01]
IS ADD A FITNESS PAD AND FITNESS EQUIPMENT TO THE PARK AND THAT LOCATION IS STILL OPEN.UM, WE ALSO HAD ADD PERMANENT BATHROOM TO COMMUNITY PARK.
NOW WE DID HAVE A LONG DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT LAST WEEK.
AND THERE WERE, WE WERE SORT OF, THERE'S A NEED FOR A BATHROOM, BUT, UH, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO DISCUSS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PREVIOUS BATHROOM AS WELL.
UM, AND MODERN, INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY TO THE PARKS, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY SMART PARKS AMENITIES, UM, QR CODES, UM, YOU KNOW, QR PROS ON THE SHELTERS OR OTHER LOCATIONS.
SO PEOPLE CAN CHECK TO SEE IF THESE SHELTERS ARE RENTED.
UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT AMENITIES ARE IN THE PARK? UM, IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN ADD CHARGING STATIONS OR SOME SORT TO THE PARK OR BIKE STATIONS AS WELL? SO THAT'S SORT OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
DO YOU MEAN FOR PHONES? CAUSE I THINK WE'RE GETTING READY TO GET SOME FOR CARS AND LEAVE, RIGHT.
UM, AT A PLAYGROUND TO EICHELBERGER AMPHITHEATER AREA, UM, DEDICATED FIELDS.
OH, THE ONE THAT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
BUT ONE OF THE DISCUSSIONS WAS ALSO HAVING WHEN NEAR THE AMPHITHEATER.
SO WHEN THE PARENTS ARE LISTENING TO MUSIC OR OVER THERE, THE KIDS ARE, HAVE A PLACE OF THERE TO PLAY AS WELL.
AND THEY CAN KEEP AN EYE ON THIS ONE AGAIN, I HEAR YOU.
UM, SO AT ANOTHER, MOVE IT OFF YOUR PROPERTY, I'LL WORRY ABOUT TECHNICALLY IT'S STILL ON THE PROP, BUT THEN HE'D BE RESPONSIBLE.
CAUSE THEN IT'S LICENSED CHILDCARE AND THE MULCH HAS TO BE A CERTAIN AMOUNT D BUT SOME, YEAH, I'D BE OKAY WITH THAT.
SO WE ALSO HAD DEDICATED FIELDS.
I WAS LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S A SPECIFIC TO THOMAS CALLED PARK, LOOKING AT DEDICATED FIELDS TO SUPPORT THE USER GROUPS BEFORE SPORTS, UM, EXPAND THE SHELL GATE PARKING LOT, ADD RECYCLING TO THE BIGGER PARKS, UM, AT THE BIGGER PARTS AND I'LL JUST END IT THERE.
SO, UM, ONE OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IS THAT THERE'S REALLY NOT OUR CURRENT PROVIDER FOR TRASH AND RECYCLING.
THAT'S WHAT PROVIDED THAT SERVICE.
AND THEN EVEN IF THEY DID THE, ONE OF THE HARDER PARTS IS MAKING SURE THAT WE CYCLING ENDS UP IN THE RECYCLING BIN VERSUS TRASH C ADD ANOTHER BATHROOM TO THOMAS CLOUD PARK, UM, AT A WATER FEATURE TO COTTONWOOD AT ANOTHER VOLLEYBALL COURT TO THOMAS CLOUD PARK.
UM, CURRENTLY THERE'S JUST ONE.
UM, I THINK I'M GOING UP THERE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND THAT ONE WAS PACKED.
UM, AND I THINK IT WAS AROUND THE, MAYBE ABOUT A MONTH AGO WAS FROM WHEN THEY HAD THE TENNIS CAMPS ALMOST.
YEAH, THERE'S A GROUP THAT USES IT.
THEY LIKE IT BECAUSE ONE GROUP PLAYS AND THEN THEY ROTATE BREASTS.
UH, AND WALKING TRAILS ALONG, UH, COTTONWOODS.
SO AROUND THE PARK THERE, UH, BASEBALL DIAMONDS, AND I THINK THAT'S MOSTLY FOCUSED ON, YOU KNOW, SOME MOUNTAINS AND FIXING IT UP.
SO THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE, UH, A MAINTENANCE ITEM, UM, AT A WHEELCHAIR SWING TO THE PARKS AND THAT'S IN A ATTRACT.
SO IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY COME UP.
IT JUST ROCKS AND ADD WATER FEATURES AT OTHER PARTS AS WELL.
SO THESE WERE THE THINGS THAT MADE THE LIST LAST TIME OF THOSE THAT ARE AT THE TOP 10 WE HAVE.
SO IT STARTS WITH, UM, AT, IN THE BASKETBALL COURT AND THEN IT ENDS WITH, UH, THE WATER FEATURE AT COTTONWOOD.
NOW, WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE THE DEDICATED FIELDS.
CAUSE I THINK THERE'S A, A AGENDA ITEM.
THAT'S GOING TO COME UP NEXT WITH COUNCIL THAT WILL HELP US SOLVE THAT PROBLEM OR SOLVE THAT.
UM, WE'LL HAVE THAT DISCUSSION, WHICH WOULD THEN MOVE, MOVE IN THE, UH, VOLLEYBALL COURT TO NUMBER 10.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO AHEAD AND MOVE WATER FEATURE FOR A TOP ONE WE HAVE IN CLOUD IS A MAINTENANCE NIGHTMARE.
SO I CAN JUST TELL YOU RIGHT NOW.
SO I'VE BEEN REMOVED THAT ONE, WHICH WOULD END IN ADDING A WALKING
[00:35:01]
TRAIL.THIS WOULD BE NUMBER 10 AND IN A WALKING TRAIL AT COTTONWOOD.
SO ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT COMMENTS, WORDS OPEN, JUST SO EVERYBODY KNOWS, AND IT'S AN IOWA, YOU KNOW, WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME THE DAY IN THE THEATER, SO WE'LL SEE THINGS OVER THERE.
UM, SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF GOOD SPOTS, UH, WHERE A BASKETBALL COURT OR A BASKETBALL COURTS COULD GO.
SO IF YOU'RE AT THE AMPHITHEATER, YOU'RE LOOKING TOWARDS THE AQUATIC CENTER.
UM, ORIGINALLY I WAS THINKING OF THAT KIND OF FLAT AREA IN FRONT OF THE RESTROOMS. UM, BUT THEN AS WE WERE UP THERE LOOKING AROUND, THERE'S A NICE, EVEN LARGER FLAT AREA BEHIND THE RESTROOMS. AND THE WALK PATH GOES ALL THE WAY BACK THERE AND AROUND.
AND IT'S CLOSE A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE AQUATIC CENTER NOW, WHETHER OR NOT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS.
DO THEY STILL DO THE HANDSTAND? BUT IF YOU LEAVE, YOU COME BACK.
SO KIDS WANTING TO GO PLAY BASKETBALL FOR A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE I REMEMBER THE OLD WIFE WILL OFFICIARY AND LEAVE THEM.
WE HAD THE BASKETBALL TO WORK THERE, SO YOU CAN GO SWIM A LITTLE BIT AND WHATNOT A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT WOULD BE A NICE PLACE.
AND THEN IT ALSO WOULD OPEN UP TO, YOU KNOW, WHY WANT TO DO OUTDOOR PROGRAMMING.
IT MAKES IT A NICE PAD FOR OUTDOOR FITNESS STUFF, UH, AS WELL.
SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK FROM THE DISCUSSIONS IN THE PAST, AND WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW FAR NORTH WE WANTED TO GO, BUT YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'VE GOT THAT SPOT THERE.
SO IT'S JUST A MATTER OF GETTING CLOSE ON.
WHAT'S IT GOING TO COST TO DROP TO BASKETBALL
AND AGAIN, THE MEDIA, IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE KIDS AT THE AQUATIC CENTER, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO GO OVER THERE AND PLAY BASKETBALL FOR AWHILE OR JUST EVEN YOUR HOME.
OR WHERE THEY'RE FROM A NEIGHBOR OR A LAYOFF ORIENTATION.
I MEAN, THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN SHOOTING A FREE FOR HELP IN THE SUN WE HAVE, OF COURSE.
WE'LL, WE'LL CHECK AND ALL THAT BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING BECAUSE I MEAN, OUR AMPHITHEATER PHASES DO LESS.
SO IF YOU'RE PERFORMING ON STAGE, YOU'RE BLIND AFTER FIVE O'CLOCK YES, ABSOLUTELY.
I MEAN, AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE, I MEAN, ANY TIME OF THE DAY, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SUN AT SOME POINT, BUT YEAH, IT'S, IT IT'LL ALL BE, YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING FINAL, ALL THAT IS THINKING, ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE LIGHTS ON ITS WAY INTO THE EVENING? WE WILL HAVE LIGHTS, BUT WE MAY HAVE, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, THERE'S, THERE'S SOME HOOPS NOW THAT ACT LIKE A LIGHT POLE OUTFIT, A WHITE ON THAT THEY'LL HAVE AN ELECTRICAL CUP ON IT.
SO IF YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE AN EVENT WHERE YOU NEEDED LIGHT, YOU CAN ATTACH SOMETHING TO THE GOAL AND PLUG IT IN.
UM, SO THERE'S OPTIONS FOR THINGS, BUT AS FAR AS ACTUALLY PUTTING LIGHTS UP, UM, YOU KNOW, TH THE PARK SCHOOL IS A DARK.
UH, SO THE LESSON WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE THEM WAVING THEIR AFTER AN ARGUMENT, MAYBE MORE COMMENTS.
SO WE DON'T, WE DON'T HAVE ANY ROOM AT SHELL GATE TO PUT ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO THE FOOTBALL FIELD, THERE'S A FLAG FOOTBALL LEAGUE THAT USES THAT.
I MEAN, I KNOW WE HAVE THE TWO BASEBALL FIELDS THAT NEED READING, BUT RIGHT NOW, IF WE PUT ANYTHING TO SHOW AGAIN, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DOUBLE THE PARKING LOT.
AND THEN ONCE YOU DON'T HAVE A PARKING LOT THAT YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE ROOM, BUT THERE'S A LARGE SECTION OF THAT THAT JUST SITS WET.
WHEN YOU FIRST, A LOT OF YOU GOT THAT LITTLE SEAL.
AND FROM THERE OUT ABOUT 150 FEET SINCE PRETTY WET MOST OF THE YEAR, UM, IT'S JUST KIND OF LIKE A FLOW AREA OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD THERE.
SO I'VE LOOKED AT IT BEFORE AND THERE'S KIND OF SPACE IN BETWEEN BASEBALL AND IN BETWEEN FOOTBALL OR EVERYTHING BETWEEN THOSE FIELDS.
BUT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU EVER WERE TO HAVE A LEAK OF USE OF THE FIELD, YOU'RE GONNA BE AWFULLY CLOSE TO THE STRAY, YOU KNOW, HOME RUN OR SOMETHING COMING THAT WAY.
WELL, I WAS, I WAS JUST THINKING SINCE WE'RE HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING THOSE FIELDS ANYWAY, BY THE WAY THEY LOOK YEAH.
MAYBE JUST REMOVING THOSE BASEBALL DIAMONDS AND PUTTING YOUR BASKETBALL HOOPS THERE.
WELL, I, I HATE TO TAKE THINGS OUT, UM, BECAUSE I'M HOPING LIKE BEN SAID WITH, UM, THE SU THE COLLEGE AND IDA FOR COUNCIL THAT HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIND A WAY TO, UM, GET THOSE DEALS USED MORE.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT SOME OF THESE LEADS IN THE AREA THAT WANT JUST ONE OR TWO FIELDS TO, YOU KNOW, USE FOR PRACTICE OR JUST FOR SMALL LOCAL GAMES.
UM, WE'VE GOT A
BUT, UM, AGAIN WITH, YOU KNOW, SHOW THEM, HEY, IS THE PARKING, EVEN IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE FIELDS, YOU CAN HOLD TAPE AND THERE'S NOWHERE FOR THE WAY TO, YEAH.
I JUST THINK THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.
[00:40:01]
AND PUTTING TWO BASKETBALL COURTS IN THERE WITH THE AQUATIC CENTER GOING AT THE SAME TIME.THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE, I MEAN, YOUR PARKING, SITUATION'S NOT GOING TO BE BETTER UP THERE.
I MEAN, UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE A, I MEAN, WE COULD HAVE, IF YOU EXPAND THAT PARKING LOT AND WE CAN PUT DRAINAGE UNDERNEATH IT TO LET THE WATER FLOW THROUGH, BUT ONCE YOU EXPAND THE PARKING LOT AND YOU KIND OF LOSE YOUR SPACE, UNLESS WE TAKE OUT A BASEBALL BUSINESS KIND OF NEW SPACE FOR ANYTHING ELSE.
BUT YEAH, I WOULD RATHER ADD AND TAKE AWAY FOR A LONG, FOR ONE PART, BECAUSE AGAIN, I MEAN, THOSE, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, AT LEAST WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, WE WOULD JUST GO TO A PARK.
IF THERE WAS A BACKSTOP AND YOU PLAY BASEBALL OR WHATEVER, AND I DON'T KNOW, KNOW THAT'S NOT HAPPENING AS MUCH, YOU KNOW WHY? I DON'T KNOW.
UM, BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, I SAID, I'D RATHER NOT TAKE THESE OUT.
UH, MY, ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS THINKING OF WAS NOT TAKE BOTH, IF NOT, DEFINITELY NOT TAKE BOTH OF THEM, BUT THAT ONE IS IN THE BACK LEFT CORNER, CLOSEST TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WALK BACK, LEAVE THAT AS LIKE THE SANDLOT TYPE OF, YOU KNOW, BACKSTOP BASEBALL FIELD AND THE ONE THAT'S CLOSER TO THE PLAYGROUND.
THAT THAT'D BE THE ONLY FIELD THAT MAYBE COME OUT.
ANY REAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THAT? WELL, PERSON, I THINK, UM, LOCATED THEIR BASKETBALL COURT NEAR THE Y IS BETTER THAN A NEGATIVE AND POSITIVELY PUT BAIL TO PUT IT, BUT IT ADVANTAGE OF BEING NEAR THE WINE YOU HAVE, THAT YOU HAVE THE RESTROOM FACILITIES IN THE Y AND YOU HAVE ADULTS THERE.
SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN ON THE BASKETBALL COURT.
YOU HAVE THE SLUNG SYSTEM RIGHT THERE.
IN OTHER WORDS, I THINK, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A BACKUP, IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG OUT THERE WITH THE COURT, BECAUSE WE ALL WERE KIDS AT ONE TIME AND, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN BEAT YOURSELF AS GAME IN A WORLD AND SOMETHING WILL GO WRONG.
AND IF I'M SAYING, I THINK THAT'S A PLUS FOR HAVING IT NEAR THE Y IS THAT YOU HAVE HELP THERE AVAILABLE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
ANY FURTHER COMMENTS ON THAT ONE? OKAY.
SO BASED ON THE LIST THAT WE HAVE NOW, AND WHAT I SAID PREVIOUSLY ABOUT REMOVING A COUPLE OF THESE ITEMS, IS EVERYONE GOOD WITH THIS ONE OTHER QUESTION, BEFORE WE GREW UP, WE DECIDED TO PUT UP, PUT A BASKETBALL COURT IN WHO MAKE THE DECISION AS TO WHEN YOU'RE PUTTING THESE IN AND GETTING A BED STYLE.
IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S GOOD TO SIT HERE AND TALK ABOUT IT.
WE GOT ON LOCATION AND MOVING, BUT IT, I KNOW JOSH IS GOING TO PROBABLY BE THE ONE WHO MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO SEE THE COUNSELOR, BUT UPSTAIRS, HOW DOES THAT WORK NOW TO GET IT AND GO ON? WELL, I MEAN, I LOOKED AT THE CIP CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND, UH, I THINK IT'S IN THERE.
I BELIEVE I HAD IT IN THERE FOR 2022.
SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE I CAN GET PRICING NOW.
AND I'LL DOUBLE CHECK AND SEE ON THAT BECAUSE, UH, SOME OF, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MATTER FLUIDLY, YOU UTILIZE AS OTHER PROJECTS GET BUMPED UP, ALL THE THINGS GET PUSHED BACK AROUND.
BUT YEAH, I MEAN, IT WOULD JUST BE BUDGETING IT.
AND THEN IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T BUDGET, BUT WE STICK, WE WANT TO DO, THEN THE ESSAY WOULD GO TO COUNCIL AND, UM, YOU KNOW, DECISIONS WILL BE MADE THERE, CHECK THE CIP BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IN THERE FOR 22, IF NOT 23.
SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS, UM, IF WE ALL AGREED TONIGHT ON THIS, UM, I WILL TAKE THIS LIST, CLEAN IT UP AND I WILL PRESENT IT HOPEFULLY ON MONDAY AT THE NEXT WORK SESSION, WHICH IS MONDAY AS OUR RECOMMENDATION.
AND THEN THE CITY WILL TUESDAY, IF THAT WAS HERE ON MONDAY.
SO I WILL, WE'LL, WE'LL MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THAT TO PUT A PRIORITY LIST, OUR TOP 10 AND THEN THE CITY COUNCIL WILL TURN IT OVER TO JOSH, FOR STAFF TO WORK.
AND THEN WE WILL WORK WITH JOSH WHEN IT COMES TO WHEN HE STARTS DOING THE PLANNING AND ALL THAT STUFF.
I DID HAVE ONE OTHER QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THE LIST.
I KNOW YOU SAID IT'S A NIGHTMARE FOR THE WATER FEATURE AT CLOUD PARK, AND I GET THAT.
NOT EVERY FAMILY CAN AFFORD TO GO TO THE AQUATIC CENTER.
SO THOSE WATER FEATURES ARE WHERE THOSE KIDS GET TO GO AND PLAY IN WATER.
AND I WASN'T REALLY A FAN OF PUTTING INTO COTTONWOOD ANYWHERE, CAUSE THAT'S TOO CLOSE TO CLOUD, BUT WE SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST ONE MORE PLACE IN HUBER THAT HAS SOME TYPE OF WATER FEATURE FOR THOSE FAMILIES THAT CAN'T AFFORD THE AQUATIC CENTER TO GO AND LET THEIR KIDS PLAY.
[00:45:02]
SO I WOULDN'T STRIKE THAT OFF THE TABLE JUST BECAUSE OF THE MAINTENANCE COST WISE.IT'S NOT JUST THE MAINTENANCE COST.
AND I WOULD SAY FOR NOW, I MEAN, I'M NOT SAYING IT'LL NEVER, EVER, EVER HAPPEN.
I JUST KNOW THAT THE ONE WE HAVE IS, IS 10 YEARS OLD NOW.
AND LOOKING BACK AT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU'VE HAD TO PUT INTO IT AND THE PROBLEMS THAT WE'RE HITTING NOW WITH THE CIRCULATION SYSTEM AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, NOW IF WE'RE ABLE TO FIND A WAY TO GO FRESH WATER, WHERE IT PUMPS OUT CITY WATER, YOU DON'T HAVE THAT CHLORINE, IT DOESN'T RECYCLE AND IT JUST DUMPS OUT.
BUT THE PROBLEM YOU RUN INTO THERE IS NOW YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING THROUGH 40 TO 50,000 GALLONS A DAY ON TOP OF THE 4 MILLION.
AND YOU LOOK THROUGH THAT AS A CYCLE OF THE SPLASH PAD AND YOU'RE TALKING 4 MILLION GALLONS A YEAR THAT ARE JUST GETTING PUMPED IN BELTS.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE CONSERVATION SIDE IS LIKE, NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT, BUT YOU KNOW, YOUR EQUIPMENT, UH, BREAKDOWN FROM FLOORING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO I MEAN, IF THERE'S A WAY TO DO IT WITHOUT HAVING THE RESEARCH RELATION SYSTEM, CAN WE, WE, WE COULDN'T FIND SOME WAY TO USE THAT WATER TO LIKE SPRINKLE, PUT IT IN A SPRINKLER SYSTEM TO IT'S IT'S HARD.
SO, BECAUSE LIKE, YOU LOOK AT OAKWOOD, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, ORCHARD LAKE, MARVIN OAKWOOD, THEIR SPLASH PAD, IT DRAINS OUT AND IT DUMPS INTO THE CATCH BASIN IN THE ROAD.
I MEAN, IT'S PIPING, IT GOES RIGHT IN THERE AND IT'S, IT'S FRESH WATER BACK TO THE RIVER.
UM, AT CLOWN PARK, WE WERE TO DO THAT.
IT WOULD ESSENTIALLY GO TO THE CREEK, BUT TO STORE 50,000 GALLONS A DAY IS THE OTHER SIDE OF, YOU KNOW, YES, THERE'S, THERE'S WAYS YOU COULD PUMP IT SOMEWHERE TO STORE IT, BUT HOW ARE YOU STORING 50,000 GALLONS A DAY IS A LOT OF WATER.
SO IT'S, IT'S KIND OF A CATCH 22 THE WAY OUR SYSTEM WORKS RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A, UM, I BELIEVE IT'S A 500 GALLON, UH, SISTER AND UNDERNEATH THE SHED.
EXCELLENT SPLASHBACK AND IT STAYS FULL.
AND THAT WATER RECYCLES JUST THROUGH THERE AND AS WATER EVAPORATES AND GETS SPLASHED OFF AND DOESN'T MAKE IT BACK TO THE DRAIN.
THERE'S A LINE THAT FEEDS THAT AND IT FILLS BACK UP AS NEEDED.
SO WE'RE NOT ADDING A LOT OF WATER TO THAT TODAY.
YOU'RE TALKING, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE THOUSAND GALLON.
UM, BUT IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S WHEN YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, JUST DEALT WITH, WITH THAT RECYCLING SYSTEM ON HAVE, UM, I MEAN THEY PHONE, WE HAVE THE FULL MINUTE, TWICE A DAY, THEY CLEAN THE SCREENS, THEY CLEAN EVERYTHING OUT.
AND IN THE MORNING WHEN WE DUMPS IT OUT, IT'S COMPLETELY FULL IN THE LATE AFTERNOON WHEN HE COMES OUT, I WAS COMPLETELY FULL.
SO THEN THAT TWO HOURS THAT IT RUNS AFTER THEY'RE THERE, IT'S FILLING UP AGAIN, WEAKLINGS IN THE MORNING AND ANYTHING THAT ONCE THAT GETS FULL, ANYTHING ELSE JUST CYCLES BACK THROUGH HERE.
AND THAT'S WHEN YOU SEE THE PICTURES ON THE GRASS COMING THROUGH, THAT'S WHY THE PUMP AND DUMP WOULD BE THE BEST EXACT SITUATION.
ANYWAY, NOTHING'S THINGS RECYCLING NOW.
AND AGAIN, YOU DON'T HAVE THE CHLORINE ISSUE, SO YOU'LL HAVE THAT COST.
YOU DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, THOSE, THOSE IMPLEMENTS ARE ALL MADE OUT OF FIBERGLASS.
ACCORDING JUST BREAKS IT DOWN.
THEY DERIVE THE CRACK IT'S LIKE THAT.
UM, SO AGAIN, IT HAS ITS PLUS SIDE, BUT THEN LOOKING AT THE OTHER SIDE OF HOLY CRAP, THAT'S LOVABLE WORK THAT WE'RE JUST DUMPING OUT.
SO, UM, IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE LOOKED AT, BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE SEVERAL YEARS DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE WE'RE AT A POINT, OR ONCE WE GET THIS, WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT THAT WE CAN PUT IT OTHER, LIKE I SAID, I DON'T THINK IT'S A NEVER, EVER, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE AWHILE BECAUSE WHEN YOU GO BY THERE, THINGS ATTRACT MONEY.
A LOT OF THAT, THAT YOU SEE, ESPECIALLY IN DADDY'S, I MEAN, YOU CAN TAKE CARE IS BRINGING 5, 6, 7 BUSES AT A TIME AND YEAH, THE KIDS LOVE IT.
BUT YEAH, I'D RATHER NOT HAVE A DESSERT PLATE AT ALL.
SO, AND SO PRINCIPAL THAT WOULD SAY IS THIS LIST.
UM, WE DON'T REMOVE ANYTHING FROM THE LESBIAN ONLY SUBMIT THE TOP 10.
SO THEN THE NEXT YEAR, EVERYTHING THAT'S CURRENTLY ON HERE WILL, UM, YOU'LL SEE IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
AND IF SOMETHING'S ACCOMPLISHED, IT'LL MOVE TO THE BOTTOM.
IT'LL MOVE TO ANOTHER SECTION ON THE LIST.
SO THEN WE CAN SEE EVERYTHING THAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED WHEN WE START THE DISCUSSION.
SO NEXT YEAR, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? SO, UM, WATER FEATURE AT PARKS WILL REMAIN ON HERE.
AND SO, WELL THE SPECIFIC ONE FOR THE WATER FEATURE AT COTTONWOOD, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF WHEN WE HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS AGAIN NEXT YEAR AND A COUPLE OF YEARS, IF WE COULD FIND A SOLUTION.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS OR ON THAT TOPIC? OH, OKAY.
SO, UM, FOR OUR TOP 10 LIST, UM, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE'S COMFORTABLE WITH US REMOVING A FEW OF THE ITEMS. SO WE WILL BE REMOVING WELL, PUSHING DOWN THE DEDICATED FIELDS, UM, WATER FEATURE AT COTTONWOOD.
[00:50:02]
W W W KNOW, WE'RE JUST REMOVING THOSE TWO AND WE'RE PUSHING EVERYTHING AND WE'RE MOVING THOSE TO THE BOTTOM.SO THE TOP 10 THAT WE HAVE WILL BE ADD BASKETBALL COURTS TO NORTHWESTERN, TO A LOCAL LOCATION OR LOCATIONS NORTH OF 70, UM, ADD FITNESS PAD FITNESS EQUIPMENT AT A PERMANENT BATHROOM TO COMMUNITY PARK AND MODERN AND INTERACTIVE TO THE PARKS AT PLAYGROUND TO AQUIFER AMPHITHEATER AREA, UM, EXPAND, SHOWCASE, PARKING LOT AT RECYCLING TO THE BIGGER PARTS.
UH, WELL, I'M SORRY THAT THAT'S THE ONE THAT CAME OFF AS WELL.
UM, ADD ANOTHER BATHROOM TO THOMAS CLOUD PARK AT ANOTHER VOLLEYBALL COURT TO THOMAS CLOUD PARK AND WALKING TRAILS, COTTONWOOD.
I WILL SAY TOO, IF, UM, THE NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN THAT I MET WITH IN SAN FRANCISCO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, ACTUALLY CONTACTED ME TODAY.
THEY HAVE SOME GRANT FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR EXERCISE PADS.
UM, SO I'M GOING TO REACH BACK OUT TO THEM.
IT'D PROBABLY BE MONDAY, UM, AND KIND OF SEE WHAT KIND OF DEALS THEY'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE LAST TIME IT WAS, YOU KNOW, HEY, THE EQUIPMENT'S $200,000.
OH, AND BY THE WAY, YOU HAVE TO INSTALL IT YOURSELF.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY THEY HAVE MAYBE A LITTLE BETTER, UH, SYSTEM NOW, BUT, UH, ONCE I REACHED BACK OUT TO THEM, I'LL LET THE BOARD KNOW.
CAUSE THAT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON THE GRANT FUNDING THAT WE CAN MOVE INTO A LITTLE QUICKER.
SO ANY QUESTIONS ON THE TOP 10? OKAY.
SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR NOW IS A MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE TOP 10.
SO IS THERE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO, UM, FINALIZE THE 20, 21 PRIORITY LISTS AND SUBMIT TO COUNCIL I'LL MOTION? OKAY.
AND I WILL CLEAN THIS UP AND GET THIS BACK OUT TO YOU ALL, UM, BY TOMORROW.
SO THE SECOND LIST, SO WE'RE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT ITEM HERE IS THE MAINTENANCE LIST, THE MAINTENANCE LIST.
UM, SO I DID THE EXACT SAME THING WITH THE FORMULA ON THIS.
SO THERE, SO IT'S BASICALLY RIGHT NOW IT'S PRIORITIZED LOWEST SCORE, THE HIGHEST 58 TOTAL ITEMS. SO WHAT I DID FIND WAS THAT I DIDN'T GET, UM, A COUPLE OF EMAILS THAT I RECEIVED BACK, SOME OF THE SCORING WAS MISSING.
SO WITH THAT, AND SOME OF THE OTHER SCORES THAT DIDN'T RECEIVE, WHAT I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU ALL TO DO IS JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE LIST.
I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THIS LIST TO THE NEXT MEETING.
AND THEN I WILL REACH OUT TO THOSE FOLKS WHO I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANYTHING OR THE SCORES WERE MISSING.
UM, SO THAT WAY I CAN ADD THEM IN.
UM, AND AGAIN, THE SCORING, UM, IT'S BASICALLY A ONE THROUGH THREE WITH A THREE SECTIONS WITH, UM, ONE BEING THE HIGHEST FOR TWO OF THE THREE, UM, AND THREE BEING THE LOWEST AND THEN REVERSE.
I THINK THAT'S HOW THAT WORKED.
SO I WILL SEND THIS BACK OUT TO YOU ALL.
UM, SO THAT WAY YOU ALL CAN GET IT.
AND I WILL, CHRIS, I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH YOU AND SEE IF I MIGHT BE, I DON'T KNOW, WHAT'S ON WITH EMAIL TOO.
SO I'LL NEED TO SEND THIS ONE OUT TO EVERYBODY, BUT THIS COPY HERE IS FOR YOU JUST TO LOOK AT, TO DRAFT.
SO THIS ALSO INCLUDES SOME OF THE ITEMS FROM A PRIORITY LIST AS WELL.
AND WHAT I DID WAS I ADDED IN THE PARTS SPECIFIC PART THAT YOU ALL MENTIONED, UM, AS A CAT, AS A LIST ITEM.
AND THEN, AND THEN I ALSO ADDED IN, AND WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS MAINTENANCE, UH, PROGRAMMING, OR IF IT COULD BE A DUO OF LIKE MAINTENANCE AND PROGRAMMING ON HERE AS WELL, OR PEOPLE IN NEW AMENITY.
SO, UM, SO THAT'S ON HERE AS WELL ON THE CATEGORY.
THEN WE HAVE THE TASK AND THEN THE SAME PRIORITIES AS WELL.
SO WE SEND THIS OUT TO EVERYBODY, UM, REACH OUT TO THOSE WHO STILL NEED THEIR INFORMATION AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON FROM THERE.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THAT? OKAY.
SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE.
UH, DON PARK IMPROVEMENTS, AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JOSH.
UM, SINCE IT'S SHORTER, I'M GOING TO FLIP AND WE'RE GOING TO GO TO MANITA FIRST.
UM, WE DID HAVE TUESDAY EVENING GROUNDBREAKING AT MANITA FIELDS.
THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF DIRT MOVED, UM, TO GET THE PADS STARTED.
UH, IF WEATHER HOLDS THAT PAD SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN ABOUT, IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
UM, SO THEY'RE GOING TO PUT US A SIDEWALK FROM THE PARKING LOT OVER TO THE PAD.
IT'S KINDA CLOSER TO THE PARKING LOT.
SO WHEN IT DOES COME TIME TO BUILD THE BMX TRACK AND STUFF, WE'VE
[00:55:01]
GOT A LOT OF BASE MATERIAL THERE AND THEY'RE GOING TO USE A LOT OF THAT TO REGRADE AS WELL, ONCE THAT PAD'S DONE, UM, EXCUSE ME, OVERALL THAT PROJECT, UM, AS IT WAS BID AND ALL THAT AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS VOTED ON 120 TO 150 DAYS.SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FOUR TO FIVE MONTHS FOR COMPLETION ON IT.
UM, THE ORDER WAS PUT INTO START PRODUCTION ON THE RAMPS.
SO THEY SAID CLOSER TO THE 75 DAY MARK, BUT 50 TO 75 DAYS FOR THE RAMPS TO BE BUILT AND DELIVERED.
AND ONCE THEY'RE HERE, THEY'LL START INSTALLING THOSE.
UH, AS WE KNOW MORE OF WHAT'S GOING ON, WE WILL GET, UH, ON OFFICIAL RIBBON CUTTING SCHEDULED AND ALL THAT, AND WE'LL MAKE SURE, AND WE'LL TRY TO FIND A TIME WHEN ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS CAN BE THERE FOR THAT AS WELL.
UM, SO MOVING TO DIAL PARK, UM, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THE 14 HOURS.
I THINK IT IS CUMULATIVE TIME TO WATCH ALL OF THE MEETINGS THAT HAVE DISCUSSED DIAL PARK HERE LATELY.
UM, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY BEEN A HOT BUTTON TOPIC.
UM, I KNOW IT GOT MOVED, UH, TO A FOURTH READING AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THE INITIAL ISSUE WAS PARKING AND WE KIND OF FOUND SOME WAYS TO MAKE PARKING WORK.
AND, UM, A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY IN THAT AREA, UH, DID NOT WANT TO SEE THE AMENITIES IN THE FIELD.
UM, AND SO BEEN LISTENING TO THAT FEEDBACK AND TRYING TO FIND OTHER OPTIONS.
UM, SO WHILE, WHILE SEEKING OTHER OPTIONS, UM, THE QUESTION CAME UP WAS OKAY, COULD WE TAKE THOSE AMENITIES FROM THE OPEN FIELD AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE? UM, AND YOU KNOW, THE ANSWER THAT I GAVE THAT EVENING WAS YES, IF IT'S THE RIGHT LOCATION.
CAUSE I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T PUT THOSE IN AN AREA THAT HOLDS WATER AND OTHER PLACES.
SO A COUPLE OF PLACES THAT HAVE BEEN LOOKED AT, UH, ONE IS COMBINING THOSE EXTRA FEATURES AT MONITA, UM, AND ADDING THEM THERE.
UH, THE PROBLEM YOU RUN INTO, I WOULD THINK THERE WAS ONE OF THE CONCERNS WAS ONCE WE ADDED THE PARKING LOT AT DIAL, IF WE WERE TO KEEP EVERYTHING THAT EVERYTHING WAS CROWDED AND CRAMMED IN THERE.
UM, AND I THINK YOU WOULD RUN INTO THAT SAME ISSUE AT MONITA.
IF YOU ADDED ON TOP OF THE SKATE PARK AND THE BMX TRACK ADDED AN ASPHALT PUMP TRACK AND A BIG PERIMETER SKILL, UM, ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE NEAT TO HAVE IT ALL THERE.
IT, AGAIN, IT'D BE JUST THE POTENTIAL FOR A LOT OF CROWDING AND CRAZINESS.
UM, ANOTHER IDEA THAT CAME FORWARD, UM, WAS THE COMMUNITY CENTER PROPERTY.
UM, SO THAT PROPERTY IN ITSELF HAS NINE ACRES.
UM, THE BACK PORTION OF THAT PROPERTY THAT IS OPENED BEHIND THERE'S ROUGHLY FOUR AND A HALF, UH, THERE'S ALREADY A WALK PATH THAT GOES ALONG AND CONNECTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, SO I SHOULD BY TOMORROW EVENING, I SHOULD HAVE A DESIGNED FOR, UM, FOR BOTH PROPERTIES.
SO ADDING EVERYTHING TO MONITA AND PUTTING THE EXTRA STUFF AT POWELL ROAD.
HE CAN PASS IT DOWN, JUST KIND OF SHOWING THE AREA THAT IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE, BUT IN MY OPINION, AND YOU KNOW, I'LL, I'LL, I'LL PUT THIS BEFORE THE BOARD, BUT, YOU KNOW, MY OPINION IS BY DOING IT DOWN AT POWELL ONE, YOU KNOW, WE, WE ALL KNOW THAT WARD ONE IS UNDERSERVED AS IT IS.
AND THEN WE'VE GOT RIP RAP PARK OR NOT RIP RAP.
WELL, YES, RIP RAP, BUT A MIAMI VILLA PARK, BUT IT'S REALLY NOT CONVENIENT UNLESS YOU'RE AT THE BASEBALL FIELDS AND WANT TO CROSS THAT ROAD OR LIVE BACK THERE IN THAT PLAT.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, DIAL PARK WAS NICE.
IT WAS KIND OF THERE ALL IN WARD ONE, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THAT'S GOING TO BE THE PLACE THAT PEOPLE WANTED THAT, UH, POWER ROAD BUILDING IS STILL IN WARD ONE.
AND THE FARTHER SOUTH YOU GET IN THE WARD ONE, THE LESS THERE IS, UH, I THINK THIS LOCATION, I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT SIDEWALKS THAT COME ALL THE WAY FROM 2 0 2 AND ACTUALLY STOP AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
SO THAT'S, AS FAR AS YOU CAN GO ON THE SIDEWALK IS TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
UH, SO I THINK THIS PROPERTY LENDS ITSELF TO THE ACCESSIBILITY.
I LIVE IN WARD FIVE I'M RIGHT ACROSS 2 0 2, MATT YOU'RE OVER THERE AS WELL.
I MEAN, OUR KIDS COULD EASILY COME DOWN THE SIDEWALK AND TAKE THE TO 2 0 2 AND RIDE OVER THERE.
UM, BUT I THINK TOO, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING AREA AROUND THERE, WE HAVE A VERY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY OVER THERE.
AND I THINK DROPPING THIS AT DIAL PARK, IT CREATES, UM, FIRST OF ALL, SOMETHING TO DO THERE, BUT AS THE ONE GENTLEMAN WHO WAS AT THE TOWN HALL MEETING, HIS NAME WAS TOMMY ZULA.
HE'S A PROFESSIONAL, UM, WORLD CHAMPION PUMP, TRACK RIDER, BMX RIDER.
AND HE TALKED ABOUT SCHOLARSHIPS.
THERE'S A LOT OF UNCLAIMED SCHOLARSHIPS IN CYCLING SPORTS EVERY YEAR.
UM, SO BY PUTTING IT IN THIS SPACE, IT CREATES OPPORTUNITIES LATER ON FOR PROGRAMMING.
[01:00:01]
GRANT PROGRAM WHERE THEY PROVIDE BIKES FOR TEAMS AND BY HAVING THE COMMUNITY CENTER THERE, IT GIVES US SOMEWHERE TO STORE BIKES FOR OUR TEAM IF WE WANT IT TO.SO IT JUST KINDA CREATES ALL OF THIS STUFF THAT CAN HAPPEN DOWN THERE.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE PROPERTY HAS JUST BEEN SITTING THERE UNUSED FOR SO LONG.
UM, AND NOW THAT WE'RE FINALLY UTILIZING IT, YOU KNOW, IT STILL GIVES US SPACE TO PUT IN A PLAN TO REPLACE THE PLAYGROUND THAT WE TOOK OUT THERE.
IT STILL GIVES SPACE FOR THE SCOUT TROOPS IF THEY WANT TO CAMP OUT BACK, LIKE THEY'VE ASKED TO DO ALREADY.
UM, SO, UM, I KNOW, UH, RICHARD HAD PUT KIND OF A ROUGH IDEA ON FACEBOOK.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU HAD SEEN THAT AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT KIND OF RECONFIGURE THINGS TO MAKE IT FIT AND FLOW A LITTLE BETTER.
AND LIKE I SAID, I SHOULD HAVE A DESIGN BY TOMORROW EVENING.
I THINK THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY, UH, IF, IF WE PUT IT DOWN KIND OF BY THE COMMUNITY CENTER, CAUSE WE'LL HAVE THE COMMUNITY GARDEN SPACE AND WE'LL HAVE THE SPACE OUT BACK AND ALREADY CONNECTS OVER TO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
I WOULD, IN MY OPINION, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I JUST THINKING, UH, DRIVING BY THE RIPRAP FIELDS, THAT WOULD BE AN IDEAL PLACE FOR FLOODING.
WELL, AND THAT'S YEAH, THAT'S, I DON'T WANT TO ADD ANYTHING.
I MEAN THE ASPHALT PARKING LOT ITSELF GETS TORE UP ENOUGH FROM THE FLOODING AND ACTUALLY THAT'S GETTING CONVERTED BACK TO A POLLINATOR PASTURE IF YOU'VE DRIVEN BY THERE RECENTLY, IT'S ALL BROWN.
UM, SO IT'S GETTING READY TO GET CONVERTED BACK TO POLLINATOR PASTURE.
CAUSE THAT'S ABOUT ALL WE CAN DO WITH IT.
I MEAN, EVEN WHEN THE SOCCER FIELDS WERE THERE, THEY WERE NOT SAFE TO USE WITH THE GROUNDHOG HOLES AND ALL THAT STUFF OUT THERE.
UM, IT'S JUST, SO IT'S SUCH A BIG AREA AND IT'S RIGHT.
WALKING TRAILS, RIGHT? WELL, IN THE BACK HALF OF THAT, WE ONLY OWN UP TO THE, UH, SHELTER HOUSE.
WE OWN UP TO THE SHELTER HOUSE BEHIND THAT IS OWNED BY THE CONCERN MIAMI COUNTY CONSERVANCY DUDE, THERE WERE LIKE TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT WERE INVOLVED.
IT'S IT'S US IN THE CONSERVANCY.
AND THEY GAVE US PERMISSION TO, YOU KNOW, TO SPRAY AND TO DO WHAT WE HAD TO DO TO PUT IN THE POLLINATOR PASTURE BECAUSE WE MAINTAINED THAT PORTION OF IT.
UM, BUT AS FAR AS PUTTING AMENITIES IN, I MEAN, YEAH, THE FLOOD COMES IN, YOU KNOW, TWICE A YEAR.
AND ANY OF YOUR TRACK THAT YOU HAVE THERE'S WASHED OUT AND NO GOOD.
I MEAN, YEAH, I IT'LL BE, ONCE WE GET THAT POLLINATOR PASTURE PUT IN THERE, I'VE SPOKEN TO THE GENTLEMAN AT WILD BIRDS UNLIMITED AND IT'S ONE OF THE LOCATIONS THAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT PUTTING IN SOME OF THE PURPLE MARTIN HABITATS AND JUST KIND OF MAKING THAT AN AREA WHERE WE CAN ATTRACT, YOU KNOW, MORE, UH, OF THE FLYING W WILDLIFE TO THAT AREA, THERE, ANY POSSIBILITY OF ANY LAND BEING NOMINATED CARRIAGE TRAIL THERE? WELL, AGAIN, I MEAN IT, IT'S, WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING AT AN AREA OF TOWN THAT ALREADY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT WHOLE, THAT WHOLE WEST SECTION.
UM, SO IT, IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD KEEP IT OVER THERE.
I MEAN, MY GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HAS ACCESS TO SOMETHING.
AND, UM, I KNOW WE, THE CITY DOES HAVE SOME GREEN SPACE THAT WE OWN AND CARRIAGE TRAILS, NOT ENOUGH, I DON'T THINK TO DO ANY OF THIS.
UM, BUT AGAIN, ONCE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD'S DONE AND BUILD OUT, I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO NEED A PLACE TO PUT A PARK IN UP THERE AS WELL.
UM, SO I THINK IF WE KEEP IT KINDA CAUSE WHEN, WHEN SCOTT AND I WERE FIRST LOOKING, WE WERE LOOKING AT PARKS, OKAY, WHAT PARK COULD WE PUT THIS AT? THE COMMUNITY CENTER DIDN'T COME TO MIND RIGHT AWAY.
UM, AND, UH, THEN, UH, WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION, HEY, WE'VE GOT THIS SPACE.
IT WAS LIKE, OH, YOU KNOW, THIS, THIS MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW, THE LOCATION.
UM, ARE WE STILL GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH NEIGHBORS AS WELL? YEAH, THEY'RE ALL, THEY'RE ALL RENTERS OVER THERE.
AND I MEAN, I THINK AT THIS POINT THEY'RE JUST GOING TO BE HAPPY TO HAVE SOMETHING, UM, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WHEN THEY LOOK OUT THEIR BACK WINDOW, THEY'RE SEEING A FENCE AND THEY'RE SEEING A TREE LINE AND NONE OF THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE.
UM, SO I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE THAT LITTLE WOODED SECTION IN THE BACK CORNER.
WE MAY RUN A TRAIL THROUGH THERE, BUT THAT WOULD BE MORE FOR CONNECTION, YOU KNOW, TO THE APARTMENTS.
SO, AND YOU'VE ALREADY GOT A BUNCH OF KIDS THAT ARE GOING BEHIND.
WAS IT THE OLD STUMPS GROCERY STORE THAT LOADING DOCKS BACK THERE FULL OF KIDS ON BMX BIKES EVERY DAY ANYWAY.
SO, YOU KNOW, MIGHT AS WELL GO, HEY MAN, YOU'RE ABOUT 244 FEET AND UH, YOU GOT A WHOLE TRAIL BACK THERE.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? SO JOSH, I WOULDN'T HAVE ONE QUESTION.
I WAS REFERENCING THE F THE BUILDING ITSELF, UM, WHETHER IT'S STILL BE
[01:05:01]
OPPORTUNITIES FOR, WOULD THAT BUILDING STILL BE RENTABLE? ABSOLUTELY.SO IF WE DO PUT IT THERE AND WE STORE, LET'S SAY WE HAPPEN TO STORE BIKES WILL BE, I WOULD RECOMMEND REHABBING A SEPARATE FACILITY OR A CONNECTED FACILITY JUST IN CASE THERE'S DIFFERENT OPTIONS WE CAN LOOK AT.
SO WE HAVE THE TWO OFFICES THAT ARE THERE THAT AREN'T BEING USED.
I MEAN, RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, FARMER'S MARKET STUFF IN THE ONE.
UM, YOU KNOW, SO THOSE OFFICES COULD BE USED AS, AS STORAGE BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF A PLAN ANYWAY, THEY'RE OVERSIZED CLOSETS.
UM, SO I DON'T THINK PUTTING ANY OF THAT IN WOULD AFFECT ANY OF THE RENTAL SPACE INSIDE.
UM, I MEAN THE ONLY THING YOU WOULD HAVE WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, SAY SOMEBODY DROVE OVER THERE TO HAVE THEIR KID RIDE AND YOU HAD A PARTY COMING TO ONE THING.
I MEAN, THE PARKING LOT'S GOT 30 SPACES, I BELIEVE, BUT AGAIN, THERE'S ROOM TOWARDS THE GARDEN AREA TO EXPAND A LOT IF WE NEED TO THERE'S ROOM IN THE FRONT TO EXPAND THE PARKING LOT IF WE NEED TO.
UM, BUT WE'RE ALREADY STARTING WITH PARKING, YOU KNOW, MORE THAN WE HAVE OTHER THAN CLOUD THAN, THAN WE HAVE IN MOST PARKS.
UM, SO I MEAN, WE'RE KIND OF STARTING, WE'RE STARTING WITH A BETTER BASE EVEN THAN WE WERE WITH DIET.
SO, AND THEN AS FAR AS THE TRAILS IN THE WOODS AND THINGS LIKE THAT AT DIAL, I MEAN, IT'S, WE HAVE, NOTHING'S BEEN DECIDED ON YET.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A MAJORITY OF THE COMMUNITY'S OKAY WITH THAT, AS LONG AS WE DON'T INTERFERE WITH THE SNAKES, BUT WE'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.
UM, SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE DIAL STANDS RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE STILL IN A HOLDING PATTERN.
UM, BUT LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE THESE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES AND I'LL GET THESE OTHER DESIGNS BACK AND, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'LL GET THEM OVER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
AND AS FAR AS PLAYGROUNDS, WHAT CAN WE CONSIDER OR THINK ABOUT MOVING? UM, THE, UH, THE PLAYGROUND THAT WE WERE THINKING ABOUT PUTTING A DIAL DOWN THERE? PROBABLY BICYCLE PLAYGROUND, NO, THE OTHER ONE, THE ACTUAL PLAYGROUND WITH THE TREES AND ALL THAT.
I MEAN, THERE'S, WE'VE GOT THAT WHOLE, UM, IT'D BE THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY THAT, YOU KNOW, FROM THE SHELTER HOUSE UP TO KIND OF THE END OF THE BUILDING.
I MEAN, THERE'S REALLY NOTHING THERE.
YOU'VE GOT THAT AREA OUT IN THE FRONT.
UM, SO YEAH, I MEAN, IT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THAT CAN, THAT NATURAL PLACE GAVE AREA CAN REALLY KIND OF BE PLOPPED ANYWHERE.
UM, SO I MEAN, SO THAT'S, UH, WELL, YEAH, SO THAT'S REALLY ALL THAT I HAVE ON IT.
I MEAN, NOW THAT JOSH HAS EXPLAINED IT TO ME, THE THEORY, UM, IT'S A GOOD IDEA, I WOULD THINK.
UM, BUT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO CONSIDER PUTTING SOME MORE SH ANOTHER SHELTER, UM, PUTTING A PLAYGROUND NEAR THE BASKETBALL COURT.
AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WE TOOK EVERYTHING OUT THAT WAS IN THE BACK AND, AND VINCE AND I HAVE TALKED, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN THERE TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
I KNOW CHRIS HAS, HAS USED IT.
UM, OTHERS HAVE DRIVEN BY AND CHECKED OUT THE PROPERTY.
SO RIGHT NOW YOU'VE GOT THE SHELTER HOUSE ON THE EAST SIDE, YOU'VE GOT THAT LITTLE CLIMBING STRUCTURE AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE BASKETBALL COURTS IN BETWEEN THOSE, THE LINE OF SIGHT IS BLOCKED BY THE BUILDING.
UM, AND IF YOU PUT THE PLAYGROUND BACK BEHIND THE BUILDING AGAIN, YOU'RE NOW YOU'VE LOST LINE OF SIGHT TO THE SHELTER HOUSE.
SO IDEALLY TO THE WEST OF THE BUILDING IN THAT LITTLE OPEN AREA NEXT TO KIND OF BETWEEN THE GARDEN AREA AND THE BASKETBALL COURTS, YOU KNOW, IF WE REPLACE THE PLAYGROUND, THAT'S WHERE YOU PUT IT.
SO THEN IF YOU'RE HAVING A FAMILY PICNIC AND YOU HAVE KIDS PLAYING BASKETBALL, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT SAID THE ONE DAY YOU WERE THERE, YOU OBSERVED SOME TEENAGERS WENT TO PLAY BASKETBALL AND THEIR LITTLE SEVEN, EIGHT YEAR OLD SISTER WAS ON THE PLAYGROUND BY HERSELF BECAUSE SHE WASN'T GONNA PLAY BASKETBALL.
AND I DON'T CARE WHERE YOU'RE AT TO ME.
THAT'S NOT AN IDEAL SITUATION.
UM, YOU KNOW, SIBLINGS CAN HAVE IT LINE OF SIGHT TO EACH OTHER.
I MEAN, UH, SO YEAH, WITH THIS PROPERTY, I MEAN, WE'VE GOT, IF WE TAKE THAT WHOLE BACK AREA KIND OF THAT CIRCLE I HAVE IN THERE, UM, WE STILL HAVE ROOM FOR EVERYTHING ELSE WE NEED IN THE FUTURE ROOM TO EXPAND THE BUILDING.
IF, IF THAT COMES TO IT, UM, YOU KNOW, ROOM TO ADD MORE GARDEN SPACE ROOM TO EXPAND PARKING LOT.
SO, SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS YOU ALL'S THOUGHTS ON THAT IDEA.
NO, I, I REALLY LIKED THAT IDEA.
THEY WOULD, YOU KNOW, ADDING SOMETHING FOR THE CLOSE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS.
AND, UH, I DO THINK, YOU KNOW, TIGHTENING UP THE PLAYGROUND BASKETBALL AND THAT STUFF AND, YOU KNOW, LIGHT INSIDE OF THAT TOO.
THAT'S A REALLY GOOD, GOOD THING.
AND THEN PLUS THAT PLAYGROUND IS TOWARDS THE FRONT PARKING LOT.
SO, I MEAN, IT'LL GIVE US MORE ROOM THAT WAY.
IF WE NEED TO ADD MORE PARKING, IT LOOKS LIKE, I THINK YOU GO TOWARDS THE SCHOOL.
I DON'T THINK WE WOULD TAKE THAT OUT BECAUSE
[01:10:01]
THAT'S STILL SOMETHING NICE TO HAVE RIGHT.BY OUR HOUSE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO DO ANYTHING ELSE WOULD NEED TO BE NO.
I DON'T WANT ANYTHING ADD TO THAT.
MATT, I THINK MOVING OVER IN THAT AREA IS A WONDERFUL IDEA.
I MEAN THAT, THERE'S NOTHING OVER THERE FOR KIDS.
AND WE'VE GOT, EVEN IN OUR SECTION, YOU'VE GOT TWIN CREEK PARK AND THEN YOU CAN GO OVER TO A CLOUD PARK, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF AREA THAT CAN EASILY ACCESS THAT.
SO I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
UH, SO ONE HURDLE WE HAD WITH DIAL WAS WE COULD ONLY PUT, IF WE WERE GOING TO PUT A PUMP TRACK THERE, WE COULD ONLY PUT IN A CERTAIN SIZE FIT.
THE GOOD THING TOO ABOUT THIS PROPERTY IS WE CAN PUT IN A RACE REGULATION, SIZE PUMP, TRACK IF WE WANT TO.
SO IF THE OPPORTUNITY DOES COME TO DO A TEAM, OR IF A TEAM WANTS TO COME TO THE AREA TO HOST THE RACE, WE CAN HAVE THAT REGULATION SIZED TRACK THERE BECAUSE WE HAVE A LITTLE MORE SPACE TO PLAY WITH.
UM, THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE AS INTRUSIVE.
UM, SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN AS WELL.
IT, IT OPENS UP FOR PROGRAMMING.
IT OPENS UP, YOU KNOW, THE AREA TO HOLD EVENTS, UM, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, LEBANON, LEBANON, SCOTT THERE'S, BUT IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT RACE READY.
UM, I DON'T THINK I'D HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK, BUT I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A RACE PUMP TRACK WITHIN THREE AND A HALF, FOUR HOURS A YEAR.
SO, I MEAN, AGAIN, IT GIVES US WITH THAT SPACE.
IT GIVES US A LITTLE MORE ROOM WARRANTED, SUPPOSED TO BE PUTTING LIKE A PUNK TRACK TYPE THING BY UNI ARENA THAT PARKED BACK THERE, THE, YEAH, THE WELCOME BIKE PARK.
IT'S, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE FINALIZED PLAN ENDED UP AT BECAUSE THEY HAD ALL SORTS OF STUFF.
THEY HAD JUMPED LINES, THEY HAD LIKE A LONG, NATURAL SURFACE TRAIL AROUND IT.
UM, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY EVER SETTLED ON WITH THEIR PUMP TRACK PORTION OF IT.
I, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT, BUT YOU KNOW, IF WE GET IT DONE FASTER THAN THEY COPIED US, SO LET'S, LET'S GET IT DONE FIRST.
IT WASN'T GOING TO BE ANYTHING.
I THINK THE FACT THAT YOU COULD PUT A REGULATION SIZE ON THERE SELLS IT.
I MEAN, THAT'S MORE DRAWN TO THE AREA.
AND LET'S FACE IT SOUTH HEIGHTS NEEDS THAT DRAW.
SO I THINK THAT HOLDS THAT IDEA RIGHT THERE.
WELL, I'M ALWAYS IN FAVOR OF PUTTING IN ANY NEW FEATURES IN THE PARKS, BUT I CAN'T GIVE HER ANY MORE COMMENT BECAUSE I GOT TO LOOK AT THIS SITUATION, LOOK CLOSER THERE.
SO I WILL MAKE A POINT OF VISITING THAT I CAN ADD SOMETHING TO THE CONVERSATION, BUT RIGHT NOW I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.
SO GOING BACK TO THE PICTURE, UM, WITHIN THE RED OUTLINE, IS THAT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND THE TRACK OR SO THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS THE LITTLE SQUARE WHERE IT SAYS 4, 3, 0 1, THAT'S THE ACTUAL COMMUNITY CENTER BUILDING.
SO THE REST OF THAT IS THE LAND BEHIND IT.
THAT IS WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE THE TRACK.
IT'LL ALL BE, SO IT'LL HAVE, AGAIN, THE PUMP TRACK WILL KIND OF BE CENTRALIZED.
AND THEN THAT PERIMETER LOOP THAT WE WERE GOING TO PUT AT DIAL, WE'LL JUST KIND OF GO AROUND THE PROPERTY AND IT'LL DOUBLE BACK OVER ITSELF.
AND THEN WE STILL HAVE ROOM TO PUT IN A SMALL LITTLE BICYCLE PLAYGROUND, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR YOUNGER KIDS THAT AREN'T QUITE READY TO GO RIDE THE BIGGER STUFF.
YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T SEEN A YEAR IMAGINE A FLAT FIELD IN A GROVE OF TREES AND THEN ONE TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
THAT'S ABOUT WHAT IT IS THERE.
SO, AND IT SITS IN BETWEEN THE BUFORD FISHER APARTMENTS.
AND I THINK YOU GOT THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS ON THE UP AND THEN THE FOP ON THE OTHER SIDE.
SO, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT NOTHING, NO NEIGHBORS TO THE WEST.
NOT MUCH TO THINK OF, I THINK TO THE SOUTH, I THINK THERE'S A FEW HOUSES THAT SIT WAY BACK OFF THE ROAD AND THEN DIRECTLY TO THE EAST, YOU GOT THE APARTMENTS.
I DON'T GO DOWN IN A BIG, QUICK COUNT OF THOSE DEPARTMENTS ARE ROUGHLY 78 OR 88.
I DID MY COUNTY JUST PUT THE NUMBERS THAT ARE ON THERE.
SO THERE'S B AND THAT'S JUST DIRECTLY ALONG.
SO DON'T KNOW THE MAKEUP OF WHO'S IN THERE.
OR I KNOW THAT TO BE THAT CLOSE TO A PARK.
[01:15:01]
GREAT IDEA.I'VE BEEN SERVING IN THE AREA OF THE COMMUNITY, THAT'S UNDERUTILIZED OR UNDER SERVICE, BUT THAT'S THE WORD LET'S GIVE THEM SOME THAT IS IT FOR EVERYBODY.
NO, IT'S GOING TO BE FOR WELL, AND AGAIN, WE HAVE THE SPACE TO MAKE IT AND EVERYTHING PARK, NOT JUST A BIKE PARK, NO, WE'VE GOT BASKETBALL COURTS AND WE'VE GOT ROOM TO PUT A PLAYGROUND IN.
WE'VE GOT THE COMMUNITY GARDEN BOXES ALREADY IN, UM, YOU KNOW, SO THERE IS, AND THEN THE HAVE THE COMMUNITY CENTER ON THE PROPERTY AS WELL.
IT'S GOING TO BE USED EVERY WEEKEND NOW BECAUSE I'M GOING TO HAVE THAT FOR MY FUNCTION AS A FAMILY, BUT NOW THE KIDS CAN GO DO SOMETHING BASKETBALL.
THERE'S A LITTLE PARK THERE OR PLAY EQUIPMENT.
I MEAN, IT'S, IT SHOULD BE UTILIZED SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ALL THROUGH THE SEASON AND LOOKING AT, UM, FROM THE, YEAH.
I, YOU KNOW, I THINK I, WHEN I WAS A BABY, I THINK WE LIVED THERE TOO, EVEN SO, UM, BUT I THINK TOO LOOKING AT FROM THE PAST, UM, YOU KNOW, THE DEED RESTRICTIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT ON THE PROPERTY, IT WAS PURCHASED THROUGH A COMMUNITY BLOCK, GRANT FUNDS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, UM, AND ESSENTIALLY EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT SAID IT CAN ONLY BE USED TO SERVE, UH, I THINK, LOW TO MEDIAN INCOME AREA.
WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE IT'S SITTING IN.
UM, SO PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING THAT WE DO WITH THAT PROPERTY AS THE CITY IS GOING TO SERVE THAT AREA.
SO IT'S HITTING, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING WITH THE, YOU KNOW, THE DEED RESTRICTIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND, YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS IT'S SERVING THAT COMMUNITY AND AS LONG AS WE'RE NOT DOING ANY FOR-PROFIT BUSINESS THERE, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOOD TO GO.
CAUSE I KNOW THAT WAS THE OTHER, YOU KNOW, INITIAL QUESTION WAS, YOU KNOW, IT USED TO BE CAMPFIRE AND THEN THERE WAS ONLY CERTAIN THINGS THAT COULD BE IN THE BUILDING.
SO WE'VE, WE'VE LOOKED INTO THAT AS WELL, SO.
SO I WOULD SAY, UM, FROM THE BOARD'S PERSPECTIVE, THEY'RE ALL FOR, UM, DO YOU NEED US TO, DO YOU NEED A VOTE FROM US? UM, YEAH, I WOULD SAY LET'S, LET'S GET A VOTE ON IT THAT JUST GIVES US, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE MORE SUPPORT.
UM, SO YEAH, SO BEFORE I VOTE FOR, WE STARTED, THE ONE THING I WILL SAY IS I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A FIELD SPACE FOR A SPORT, NOT NECESSARILY A PERMANENT SPORT, LIKE A BLANK FIELD FOR LIKE KIDS TO PLAY SOCCER OR FOOTBALL, BECAUSE I'M LOOKING NOW AND I'M SEEING SMALL GROUPS STARTING TO, UM, COME UP WITH THEIR OWN LITTLE FOOTBALL GAMES, NO TAG TAG FOOTBALL, OR FLAG FOOTBALL OR WHATEVER.
SO I'M JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SOME GREEN SPACE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, SO THAT WAY IT'S SORT OF MULTI-USE AND WE SEE VARIOUS DIFFERENT THINGS OCCURRING AT THE SAME TIME.
SO, UM, SO WE WILL VOTE THE VOTE ON THE FLOOR IS TO MOVE WITH JOSH'S SUGGESTION OR THE IDEA TO MOVE, UM, THE, TO HAVE THE BIKE PARK AT THE COMMUNITIES BEHIND THE COMMUNITY CENTER, THE OPEN AREA BEHIND THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO ADDITIONAL BUSINESS ANNOUNCEMENTS, WHICH IS THE NEXT ITEM ON THE LIST.
SO, UM, I ALREADY MENTIONED THIS, BUT UM, I PUT IN A REQUEST FOR TUESDAY TO TALK TO CITY COUNCIL TO PROVIDE THEM WITH AN UPDATE AND HOW TO PROVIDE THEM WITH AN UPDATE AND YEAR AND A HALF.
SO, UM, I, I FEEL I OWE THEM AN UPDATE.
SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS PROVIDE THEM AN UPDATE ON, UM, THE BOARD SUPPORT FOR, UM, THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND THE AMENITIES THAT WILL GO THERE, UM, THAT WERE RECOMMENDED THAT WERE RECOMMENDED.
UM, THE PRIORITY LIST, UM, AND WHAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR.
AND THEN, UM, THAT'S PROBABLY ABOUT IT.
UM, IF I HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS TO TALK ABOUT, I'LL LET YOU GUYS KNOW BEFOREHAND AND I WAS THINKING, BUT, UM, I FEEL LIKE I OWE THEM AN UPDATE, YOU KNOW, BEFORE COVID HIT, WE WOULD PROVIDE AN UPDATE EVERY OTHER MONTH.
SO, UM, SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT I AT LEAST RESTART THAT CONVERSATION AS WELL.
UM, JUST TO OPEN UP THE COMMUNICATION, UM, WITH THEM AS WELL.
[01:20:01]
I WILL, I WILL DRAFT THAT UP AND SEND THAT OVER TO YOU ALL.SO YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT? UM, I DON'T KNOW, QUESTIONS THEY WILL ASK.
SO, UH, BUT, UM, BUT I WILL DO IS TRY MY HARDEST TO REPRESENT WELL, THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.
I WAS JUST WANTING TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS THAT'S NOT ON HERE A COUPLE OF FRIDAYS AGO.
I WENT TO, UH, THE TWIN CREEK PARK AND I TOLD YOU ABOUT IT, THE SWING SET THERE, THEY STILL HAVE FOUR BABIES SWINGS.
IS THERE ANY WAY WHERE HE IS? CAUSE I MET SOME PARENTS THERE AND THEY SAY, YO, YOU LOVE HIM FOR OUR LITTLE, YOU KNOW, LITTLE KIDS, BUT MY LITTLE OLDER KIDS, THEY WILL LOVE TO SWING, BUT THEY CAN'T SWING.
SO THAT THE HEIGHT OF THAT, A-FRAME, ISN'T A GRAY AREA BECAUSE THERE'S A SPECIFIC, LIKE IT SAYS THAT YOU CAN PUT TOP SWINGS IN THIS AND THAT YOU CAN PUT THE BELT SWINGS IN THIS, BUT THEN THERE'S LIKE A, A GAP IN BETWEEN WHERE IT'S KIND OF LIKE, SO I HAVE TO, I HAVE TO GET AHOLD OF THE MANUFACTURER AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS THE HEIGHT WE HAVE.
UM, BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA END UP CUTTING HALF THE CHAIN ANYWAY, UH, TO PUT THEM IN THERE.
BUT I, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GET TO A SITUATION LIKE THAT, THEY SAY PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S GOOD TO RELY ON, UH, YOU KNOW, THE MANUFACTURER MANUFACTURER.
SO I DO, I HAVE NOTICED THAT AND IT'S, IT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP BEFORE AND, UH, SAW MY, THE GUY THAT I'VE BEEN USING A LOT LATELY, UM, IS, HAS BEEN SWAMPED BY ALL OF MY OTHER REQUESTS.
UM, AND SEE, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'LL BE AN ISSUE TO THROW A COUPLE OF BELTS SWINGS IN IT.
IT'LL JUST BE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, THEY MAY NOT BE AS FUN BECAUSE THE CHAINS WILL BE VERY LONG.
ALSO, UH, THAT I'VE ALSO WENT TO A BELL BELLE PARK AND MY YOUNGEST LOVES THAT, LOVES THAT PARK.
AND JUST LET YOU KNOW THOSE PARKING SPACES.
I'VE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF USAGE OUT.
I KNOW YOU SAID THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE IT A COUPLE TIMES, BUT I'VE SEEN A LOT OF USAGE OUT THERE.
WE WENT THERE AND THERE WAS A DOZEN KIDS THERE AND QUITE A FEW ADULTS.
SOMEBODY DID A BURN OUT IN THEIR MOTORCYCLE AND SPRAYED RUBBER ALL OVER THE SIGN.
BUT YEAH, BUT I DID BECAUSE I DID HAVE, I DID HAVE THOSE PARENTS, I SAW AT 20 CREEKS THAT THEY WOULD LOVE TO SEE, YOU KNOW, PARKING THERE, WHICH THAT SAME STYLE PARKING LOT BELL PLAYING WOULD PROBABLY BE NICE THERE TOO.
JUST, THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE WHEN THEY REDID THE STREETS IN THAT AREA AGAIN.
AND SOME OF THAT, I MEAN, AS YOU KNOW, WORKING WITH ENGINEERING, YOU KIND OF FIND THEM OUT THERE, SCHEDULE THINGS.
IF IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WE'RE NOT DOING LESS THAN FOR, YOU KNOW, 10, 15 YEARS.
WELL, YOU KNOW, THEN WE PROBABLY OUGHT TO LOOK AT SOMETHING BEFORE THEN, BUT IF IT'S WITHIN THE NEXT, I WOULD SAY TWO TO THREE YEARS.
WE MADE YOU BUMP IT IN WITH THEM.
AND I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED ON THE MAINTENANCE LIST WAS A REPAINTING SIGNS.
UM, IT'S KIND OF IN DIFFERENT PLACES, BUT, UM, CAP SIGNS HAS KIND OF REDESIGNED OUR CITY SIGN FOR US.
SO LIKE THE ONE THAT'S AT THE DOG PARK RIGHT NOW, THAT'LL KIND OF BE IT'S OUR NEW TEMPLATE, UM, FOR OTHER PARKS AS THEY NEED TO REPLACE.
SO LIKE WHEN, WHEN, UH, MONITA GETS DONE, IF YOU LOOK NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE A BEAVER HAS TO THE BOTTOM OF THOSE POSTS FROM THE YEARS OF BEING WEED WHIPPED.
SO AS IT GETS DONE, YOU KNOW, A NEW SIGN WILL FALL IN, IT'LL STILL BE THE BLUE AND WHITE IT'LL KIND OF FOLLOW THE SAME.
YOU KNOW, IT LOOKS LIKE WOOD CARVED, BUT IT'S A COMPOSITE MATERIAL.
CAUSE WE, WE DID HAVE OUR SUMMER HELP YEARS AGO, PAINT THEM AND IT WAS SO TEDIOUS AND IT TOOK FOREVER.
AND UH, SO WE CLEAN THEM UP AS WE CAN, BUT THEY WILL BE REPLACED WHEN THEY NEED IT.
SO WHAT I CAN DO IS I'LL CONSOLIDATE THOSE AND JUST LIST THEM OUT.
AND THEN AS WE GET IT DONE, I'LL JUST PULL THEM DOWN.
AND WHILE WE'RE SAYING SUMMER HELP, WE, WE HAD, WE HIRED ONE SUMMER HELP AND THEN HE GOT OFFERED FULL-TIME AND A DOLLAR MORE AT STARBUCKS.
SO IF ANYBODY KNOWS ANY ANYBODY 18 OR UP, THAT'S LOOKING FOR THEY.
UNFORTUNATELY I CAN DO SATURDAYS BETWEEN 10, EIGHT, BUSY FOR TURNING 10 AND TWO ON SATURDAY, BUT I'LL GET YOU A BUNCH OF 16 YEAR OLDS.
I WISH I, I WONDER IF I CAN ASK IF THERE'S A WAY, BUT I MEAN, AT THIS POINT, JUST NEED SOMEONE WITH A PULSE OF A DRIVER'S LICENSE.
SO IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY AS OF RIGHT NOW, 18 OR UP LOOKING FOR, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'RE GOING TO GET 40 HOURS A WEEK PART-TIME BUT OKAY, PERFECT.
WITH THE 16 YEAR OLD TO DRIVE A LICENSED DRIVER IN THEIR VEHICLE.
THAT'S WHAT THE PROBLEM, I THINK IT'S THE WORK PERMIT.
I THINK IT'S, YEAH, IT MAY BE SOME LIABILITY, BUT I THINK IT'S ALSO
[01:25:01]
THE WORK PERMIT THING, BECAUSE I THINK UNDER 18 THEY HAVE TO HAVE WORK PERMIT AND THEN NOW THAT'S A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL OF PAPERWORK THAT OUR ONE HR PERSON HAS TO HANDLE IT.SO ARE THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR JOSH I'M ABOUT TO START POACHING LIFEGUARDS, JUST SO YOU KNOW
THE VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION DINNER.
SEPTEMBER IT'S ON A WEDNESDAY.
I THINK IT'S THE SAME WEEK AS THE MARITAL FESTIVAL.
SO, UM, YOU ALL GOT THE UNOFFICIAL, HERE'S YOUR UNOFFICIAL INVITE? IT'S SEPTEMBER 8TH, 6:00 PM.
AT THE BARN OFF OF EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD, THE FORMAL INVITE WILL BE COMING TO YOU VIA MAIL, SNAIL MAIL.
UH, JOSH HAS, I KNEW THERE ARE ONE OR TWO OF THE LITTLE LIBRARIES RIGHT INTO BMC.
I WAS GOING TO GET WITH SHANNON ON THAT BECAUSE I DID SPEAK TO, UH, ONE OF THE OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF DOLLAR BOOK SWAP.
UH, AND THEY ARE, THEY SAID, THEY'LL STOP THEM FOR US.
SO, UM, YEAH, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, THE STREET DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN DOING SO MUCH PARK STUFF LATELY.
THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN MUCH STREET STUFF DONE, SO I GOT TO GIVE THEM A BREAK.
UM, AND BUT YEAH, IT'S, I'LL, I'LL START COLLECTING THOSE AND WE CAN STORE THOSE IN THE OFFICE, DOWN AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
SO THEY'RE OUT OF YOUR GUYS' WAY.
HE WAS DOING THIS AS PART OF, OR A PROSPECTIVE EAGLE SCOUT.
WHO'S DOING THIS AS PART OF HIS PROJECT.
AND WE'LL, UH, PROBABLY IN THE FALL WHEN THINGS WIND DOWN AND WE CAN START GETTING THEM INSTALLED.
UM, SO IN AUGUST IS OUR APP LAST MOVIE NIGHT FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD DRAGONS.
THE LAST DRIVE THEN, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET SOME DONATIONS FOR FOLKS TO PURCHASE SOME BOOKS.
UM, THE BOOK IS CALLED, UM, ALL DINOSAURS ARE UNIQUE, UM, AND I'M GOING TO HAVE, AND WE'RE GOING TO GET THEM OUT DURING THAT EVENT.
I DON'T HAVE A LOT, I HAVE ABOUT 30, I BELIEVE, BUT THEY'LL WILL BE GIVEN OUT.
UM, IT'S FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN.
UM, IT'S AN EASY READ FOR THEM.
UM, AND I'M GOING TO HAVE THE AUTHOR SIGN THEM THIS WEEK.
SO, UM, SO THEY WILL BE DONATED AND THAT MAY NOT BE A DRIVING.
WE MAY FLIP IT AND HAVE EVERYBODY SIT IN THE GRASS AND THE FIELD BEHIND THAT.
I HAVEN'T DECIDED YET, BUT IT'LL STILL BE AT CLOUD.
WE MAY JUST TURN THE SCREEN AROUND.
WELL THAT'S FINE, BUT WE'LL STILL HAVE THE BOOKS THERE.
SO I'M SO BLESSED TO HAVE THE BOOKS THERE.
SO, UM, SO I HAD SOME FOLKS DONATED TO DONATE SOME COPIES OF IT, SO I'LL GET THEM SIGNED AND THEN THAT'LL BE FOR OUR EVENT.
