[ AGENDA ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road January 12, 2022 6:30 P.M. ]
[00:00:03]
HI, GOOD EVENING.HAPPY NEW YEAR I'D SHOW COLLEAGUE MEETING OF THE HEBREW HEIGHTS, ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION BOARD TO ORDER AT THIS TIME, PLEASE.
JERRY, COULD YOU CALL THE ROLL TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY? JUST A MOMENT.
MS. BRANDENBURG HERE, MS. DANIEL, ERR, MR. FOX, MS. QUINNIE.
WHAT'S UP SHOW MR. WILSON PRESENT MS. DAVIDSON.
SO AT THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO INVITE LAURA TO COME AND MEET ME HERE BY THE FLAGS.
AND WE WILL GO AHEAD AND DO OUR SWEARING-IN CEREMONY AND WELCOME TO OUR BUTTS.
IF YOU COULD RAISE YOUR NAME, I LAURA SHELDON, DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM, DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES? THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF OHIO, THE CHARTER AND ALL ORDINANCES AT THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS, CHARTER AND ALL ORDERS.
AND THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY FAITHFULLY, HONESTLY, HONESTLY, AND IMPARTIALLY AND IMPARTIALLY DISCHARGE.
THE DUTIES OF MY OFFICE IS CHARGED TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.
YEAH, I'LL GET YOUR SIGNATURE BEFORE YOU LEAVE.
SO AT THIS TIME, WE'LL WELCOME.
ANY CITIZEN'S COMMENTS SEEING NONE.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO OLD BUSINESS OR OLD BUSINESS.
FIRST ON OUR AGENDA TODAY IS TALKING ABOUT OUR CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING EVENT.
UM, SO JERRY, DO YOU HAVE ANY UPDATES? SO, UM, SO THE LAST MEETING, WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT HOW AFTER EVENTS HAPPEN, WE JUST MOVE FORWARD AND KEEP ROLLING ON.
AND SO THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING TO START TALKING ABOUT THEM AFTER THE FACT, SEE IF THERE'S, UM, SOME POSITIVE FEEDBACK YOU WANT TO GIVE SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T WORK.
WE DON'T WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON HASHING THE CHRISTMAS PROGRAM, BUT WE DO WANT TO GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THAT.
SO, UM, THERE WERE WAY MORE PEOPLE THERE THAN WHAT WE HAD EVER EXPECTED.
UM, I THINK THE NICE WEATHER BROUGHT THAT OUT.
I THINK EVERYBODY WAS HAPPY WITH THAT.
UM, WE WERE OVERWHELMED A BIT, NOT ENOUGH.
REFRESHMINTS LINED UP, NOT ENOUGH GIFTS LINED UP, BUT I MEAN, THAT'S ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, A NICE THING TO, TO HAVE.
SO, UM, IF WE PLAN BIGGER NEXT YEAR, THERE MAY BE LESS TURNOUT, BUT THAT'S JUST KIND OF WHAT YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH.
SO, UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO START THE PLAN A LITTLE SOONER SO THAT WE CAN HAVE MORE THINGS.
I WANT TO SAY THAT THE HAYRIDE WAS FABULOUS.
WE GOT A LOT OF GOOD COMPLIMENTS ON THAT AND A LOT OF FEEDBACK PEOPLE REACHED OUT HERE.
SO SHANNON, WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
THAT WAS, AND I WAS THINKING IF WE DID SOMETHING, SO IF WE HAD THE HAYRIDE SANTA, IF WE HAD ONE MORE THING, I THINK IT WOULD HELP DISTRIBUTE THE PEOPLE A LITTLE BIT.
I KNOW SANTA WAS THE BIG DRAW AND IT WAS LIKE, SUDDENLY EVERYBODY JUST GOT IN LINE FOR SANTA AND I DON'T THINK WE COULD HAVE PULLED THEM AWAY TO COME TO ANYTHING ELSE.
THEY WERE HITTING THE HAYRIDE AS THEY WERE COMING IN OR GOING OUT.
SO I THOUGHT THAT WORKED REALLY WELL.
UM, THE THINGS THAT WE DID HAVE PLANNED WITH, UM, ANDY OTTO AND THAT JUST KIND OF DIDN'T HAPPEN, UM, BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST AFTER THEY SAW SANTA THEY LEFT, BUT, UM, IT WAS JUST A FULL TWO TO THREE HOURS, HOWEVER MANY HOURS IT WAS FULL WITH KIDS IN LINE WITH SANTOS.
I DO THINK HAVING MAYBE A CHARACTER OR SOMETHING HELPED OUT WITH PEOPLE WAITING.
SO ANYTHING ELSE, ANYBODY ELSE? UM, THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS THAT WE NEED TO MAYBE SET UP OUR, UH, THE STAGE A LITTLE BIT BETTER, YOU KNOW, AS WELL AS I DO, KIDS WERE TRYING TO WALK RIGHT OFF THE FRONT OF THAT.
SO, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW WHAT WE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT LATER, WHEN WE ALL CAME BACK TO WORK, WE SHOULD HAVE PUSHED HIM BACK FARTHER BECAUSE THEN THEY COULD HAVE WALKED STRAIGHT ACROSS.
WE WERE BRINGING THEM OUT FORWARD BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHY THE PARENTS WERE STANDING AT THE STAGE, BUT NOT ON IT MAYBE.
AND WE PROBABLY SHOULD ENCOURAGE THE PARENTS TO COME UP AND TAKE THE PICTURES ON THE STAGE IN FRONT OF IT BECAUSE THE KIDS WERE WALKING STRAIGHT TO MY PARENTS.
[00:05:01]
WE HAD HAD SANTA RITA STORY THE YEAR BEFORE.SO WE WERE THINKING SANTA WAS GOING TO READ A STORY.
SO WE DID ONE EVENT LIKE TOWARDS THE FRONT, RIGHT.
THAT NEVER HAPPENED BECAUSE IT WAS JUST SO MANY KIDS.
HE COULDN'T STOP TO READ A STORY.
WE'LL, WE'LL PUSH HIM BACK AGAINST THE WALL.
THAT WAY THEY CAN WALK A FRONT.
AND I THINK WE COULD EVEN MAYBE SEE ABOUT GETTING, UM, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE MOVIE THEATER ROPES.
I HAVE SOME AVAILABLE IF THE CITY WANTS.
AND I, AND I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE WE WERE REALLY, UM, ALL OF US THAT WERE THERE WERE TRYING TO MAKE SURE KIDS DID DR.
KIDS, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO KEEP THE KIDS FROM COMING OFF THE FRONT.
SARAH, I I'D LOVE THAT IDEA OF THAT CANDY CANE GLOW.
PERHAPS, MAYBE IF WE JUST DID IT AT THE BEGINNING, IF WE COULD GET WORKED OUT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
I KIND OF WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND IF IT'S OKAY, GO AHEAD AND SAY, THANK YOU TO RICHARD SHAW FOR HIS TIME, THAT EVENING AND VOLUNTEERING.
SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS TO YOU AND ANDY OTTO.
FOR SHOWING UP AND, AND BEING WHAT THEY, SHE WAS THE ELF.
SO I JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND SAY, THANK YOU.
ANYTHING ELSE, ANYBODY AND THINGS TO TRY LETTING US REVIEW.
UM, SO NEXT I'M GOING TO CALL ON, I BELIEVE GREG, BECAUSE I HAD TALKED TO YOU LAST IN NOVEMBER ABOUT THE SHOWCASE PERFORMANCE AND YOU WERE GOING TO GET TOGETHER.
THAT'S YOUR ART SHOW THAT YOU AND GAVIN AND GWENDOLYN WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT AND MAKE PLANS FOR AND SEE IF YOU'VE HAD ANY THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS OR WHAT YOUR PLANS ARE.
WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, BETWEEN COVID AND THE FACT THAT I WAS INVOLVED WITH THE OPTIMIST CLUB TREE LIGHT, IT JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR US TO DO THAT.
AND, UH, WE WILL DO THAT AS WE READ THIS REPORT BACK FROM THE FEBRUARY MEETING, THAT WOULD BE, YEAH, LET'S DO THAT.
WE WOULD ALWAYS GO TONIGHT AND START THAT PROCESS.
YOU THREE THAT ARE ON THE COMMITTEE, RIGHT.
WE'VE KIND OF GIVEN IT SOME THOUGHT PERHAPS MAYBE INSTEAD OF DOING A SEPARATE EVENT, MAYBE WE COULD, UH, SORT OF MARRY IT WITH THE FARMER'S MARKET INITIALLY TO GET THE BALL ROLLING.
I DON'T THINK WE WANT TO PUT A WELL ON A SMALLER, ON A SMALLER SCALE.
INSTEAD OF HAVING THE, THE PERFORMER, A PAID PERFORMER UP THERE DOING IT, WE COULD PERHAPS HAVE A GROUP PERFORMING DURING THE FARMERS AND YOU GUYS PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER AND BRING IT BACK.
BUT MY SUGGESTION AND I I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, I WOULD NOT WANT TO PUT THAT WITH THE FARMER'S MARKET.
I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE ITS OWN SPECIAL, WE NEED TO STAGE, THEY NEED THE GROUNDS.
WE MAYBE CURRENT, BUT NOT NECESSARILY TOGETHER, BUT WE, WELL LET'S, LET'S FLESH IT OUT.
YOU GUYS WILL GET TOGETHER, MEET AND YOU'LL COME BACK IN FEBRUARY.
WHAT I WANTED TO SAY TO YOU IS ONCE THAT AGENDA GOES OUT, WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO ADD ITEMS TO THAT.
SO JUST SO THAT I WILL PUT IT ON FEBRUARY'S AGENDA.
SO FOR YOUR USE OF THE, THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW, WE ARE TRYING TO PLAN A PERFORMING ART PRESS TYPE SHOW AND THESE THREE ARE THE COMMITTEE.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THE ONLY ONES, BUT EXACTLY ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO HELP IN THAT TYPE OF A THING.
I'M SURE I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME YOU GUYS, WHETHER SHE CAN HOLD HER OWN THOUGH.
AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY'RE RUNNING IT.
THAT MEANS THEY ARE KIND OF GATHERING INFO AND GETTING IT PLANNED AND WE WILL, WE'LL ALL HELP WITH THE PROGRAM, BUT YOUR NAME HAS TO BEGIN WITH THE LETTER G AND THEN I JUST REALIZE THAT THAT'S HILARIOUS NAMES ARE ACCEPTABLE.
SO IS THERE ANY MORE ON THAT BEFORE I MOVE ON ANYBODY? SO, UM, PLEASE WE'LL GO AHEAD AND THEN MOVE ON TO NEW BUSINESS.
AND WE'LL START TALKING ABOUT, WE ARE HAVING AN ART SHOW, LAURA ON FEBRUARY THE 12TH.
UM, SO WE ALREADY ARE WORKING ON PLANS FOR THAT DAY AND WE HAVE A TIME NOW IT'S TWO TO SEVEN AND IT'S GOING TO BE LOCATED AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, WHICH IS ON POWELL ROAD.
I FORGET IT RIGHT OFF, BUT IT'S, IF YOU'RE, YOU'VE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME, SO I KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE CAMPFIRE USA BUILDING WAS, IT'S IN THERE.
SO THAT'S WHERE OUR SHOW WILL BE.
WE CALL THAT THE COMMUNITY CENTER NOW THAT BELONGS TO THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS AND WE HOLD EVENTS THERE.
[00:10:01]
UM, SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO AMERICA LISTON.IF YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH HER, SHE HAS A BOOTH, UM, ALMOST EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND.
AND, UH, GREG, UM, AT THE FARMER'S MARKET, SHE SELLS BUDGE.
AND SHE IS CURRENTLY MAKING CHERRY CORDIAL FOR US AND SHE'S SOAKING THEM.
I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT ALL YOU GOTTA DO, BUT APPARENTLY YOU HAVE TO SOAK THEM FOR SO LONG TO MAKE THEM IN SOMETHING.
IS THAT WHAT IT IS? CHOCOLATE GOES OVER THE TOP.
I HAD A CHANCE TO TRY THEM ON.
THERE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.
WELL, SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD, UM, ACTUALLY PUT THEM WHEN SHE PUTS THEM TOGETHER.
SHE'S GOING TO PUT THEM IN LIKE A REALLY CUTE LITTLE BAG WITH A VALENTIME'S, UH, STRINGS HANGING FROM IT AND MAKE IT LOOK NICE.
AND THOSE WOULD BE SOMETHING WE'LL BE GIVING AWAY TO PARTICIPANTS AS THEY COME IN.
JERRY, IT WILL BE ON THE TABLE AGAIN, LIKE THE COOKIES WERE LAST YEAR.
WE'RE NOT HAVING OTHER KINDS OF FOOD BECAUSE OF COVID, BUT THESE WILL BE INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED FOR THEM TO TAKE WITH THEM.
I BELIEVE WE'LL HAVE SOME WATER THERE TOO.
I THINK IT'S, IT'S GOOD TO SUPPORT LOCAL.
JUST GLAD THAT WE'RE WE'RE USING OR CAUSE SHE DOES SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN THE CITY DOING THIS, UM, ADDITIONAL TO THAT.
SO I'M LOOKING AT YOU GWENDOLYN.
CAUSE I THINK YOU COULD HELP WITH DECORATING.
UM, WE COULD DO IT LIKE REDS AND BLACKS, I THINK.
I DON'T REMEMBER WHO WAS ON IT.
I HAVEN'T PASSED NOTES, BUT GWENDOLYN AND TINA, I CAN BE LABELED CHERYL LABOR.
SO WHEN, WHEN DID YOU HAVE, DID YOU COME UP WITH ANY MORE IDEAS WHILE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT OR, OR NOT? I MEAN THAT'S OKAY.
NOT YET, BUT I REMEMBER THAT I WAS GOING TO BE MAKING A COOKIE, SAYS, WELL, REMEMBER WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.
DID YOU HAVE A LOT OF SMELLS? SO, OKAY.
AND SO DECORATIONS, WE'RE NOT GOING TOO CRAZY OVERBOARD.
LAST YEAR WE HAD BLACK TABLECLOTHS ON THE TABLES.
WE COULD GO WITH IT BEING VALENTINE'S WE COULD GO RED, RED, WHITE TOP.
I THINK WE BOUGHT ALL THAT OUT BEFORE.
WE'RE TRYING TO PLAY INTO THAT VALENTINE'S THEME A LITTLE BIT.
SO, AND YOU NEED TO PURCHASE LIKE ANY BALLOONS OR IS THERE SOMETHING THAT YOU FEEL YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE TO MAKE IT LOOK NICE? YEAH, MAYBE JUST A FEW ITEMS, STUFF THAT WE CAN HANG AROUND.
DID YOU EVER SEE THOSE PAPER, LIKE FLOWERS THAT YOU CAN WHEN THERE COSTS PRETTY MUCH NOTHING, BUT YOU CAN MAKE THEM OUT OF TISSUE PAPER AND MAKE BIG FLOWERS OUT OF THE BLACK.
AND SO AGAIN, WE DON'T WANT TO GO TOO CRAZY WITH THE DECORATIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ART THAT WE WANT TO BE FOCUSED.
BUT JUST SOME COLOR, JUST SOME, YOU KNOW, EVEN A COUPLE OF BALLOONS THAT HAVE THE LITTLE ANCHOR HOLDING IT ON THE TABLE OR WHATEVER.
SO HOW DID THEY DO THAT? CHERRY? DO THEY ASK YOU TO GO GET THEM OR DO THEY PURCHASE SOME AND GET REIMBURSED? NO.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO GET THEM FROM HERE? THE CITY GETS THEM.
THEY'LL HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT.
I WALKED IN THAT GREW UP, BUT I DID NOTICE OVER THE WEEKEND ON FACEBOOK WHERE THERE'S SOME LITTLE COMPANY NOW HERE AT GILBERT HEIGHTS THAT ACTUALLY WILL MAKE THOSE TO ORDER.
I THINK THEY ARE A MEMBER OF THE CHAMBER TOO.
SO IF ANYBODY HAS CONTACT WITH THE CHAMBER, THAT MIGHT BE THAT THEY, THEY DID POST SOMETHING OVER THE WEEKEND ON FACEBOOK THAT THEY WERE JENNY MOORE.
I THINK IT WAS FAIR SOUNDS ABOUT, RIGHT? YEAH.
SO IF YOU COULD LET ME KNOW BY, SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME DEADLINES AND WHAT KIND OF INTERRUPT YOU.
SO THAT WEEK, ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE PURCHASED, I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND GET THAT.
SO LIKE FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE WANTING, WHAT YOU'RE NEEDING.
IF YOU ACTUALLY CALL SOMEWHERE AND GET A PRICE, IF YOU CAN KIND OF GIVE ME AN IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, THE DEADLINE FOR THE ARTISTS TO REGISTER IS JANUARY 31ST.
I HAVEN'T PUT THAT LAST OUT ON THE, UM, I HAVEN'T PUT THE LAST THING ON THE FLYER BECAUSE WE'RE WAITING TO HEAR FROM T-MOBILE STILL, THEY DIDN'T, THEY DON'T PLAN THEIR YEAR TILL JANUARY.
SO THEY HAVEN'T GOT THAT LAST WORD FROM THEM.
IF THEY ARE GOING TO BE THE SPONSOR OR NOT.
IF I DON'T HEAR BY THE END OF THE WEEK, I'M TAKING THAT OFF THE FLYER.
THE FLYER IS GOING OUT WITHOUT A SPONSOR BECAUSE WE NEED TO GET THAT FLYER OUT.
EVEN THOUGH WE'VE HAD PEOPLE REACHING OUT AND GETTING PARTICIPANTS ALREADY, WE'VE GOT QUITE A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE, PLUS SHANNON'S WORKING WITH THE SCHOOLS.
UM, I DON'T THINK THE FLYER IS WHAT DRAWS THE PERSON IN.
SO IF YOU COULD, WITH YOUR EMAILS, PUSHING THEM, YOU KNOW, ANYBODY WANTING TO PARTICIPATE, THAT KIND OF THING.
NOW, IF WE COULD GET SOMETHING ISSUED BY THE CITY, THROUGH THE CITY,
[00:15:01]
ONE OF THE CITY WEBSITES OR THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION WEBSITE AS AN EVENT.UH, THERE'S A LOT OF THESE VARIOUS FACEBOOK PAGES NOW THAT ARE REQUIRING WHEN WE WANT TO SHARE SOMETHING THAT IT BE DONE AS AN EVENT.
AND WHAT THAT DOES IS THE NECK COMES BACK.
IT HAS A BUTTON THAT WHETHER YOU'RE INTERESTED OR GOING, WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY COME BACK TO US.
SO ALL OF OUR THEMES GO OUT ONTO FACEBOOK AS AN EVENT, RIGHT? I MEAN, IT MAKES IT FAR EASIER TO SHARE IT.
I CAN, I COULD PUT IT OUT SOMETHING IN DECEMBER SHERATON, DECEMBER, AND THEN THE CALENDAR BUILT INTO IT.
WE'LL BRING IT BACK UP AS THE FEBRUARY 12TH.
SO THAT'S HOW THE CITY DOES IT ON THE CITY'S FACEBOOK PAGE AND THE A AND B FACEBOOK PAGE.
THEY GO OUT AS EVENTS SO THAT THEY ARE REMINDED.
AND THEN WE GET IT BASICALLY KEEPS IT FROM GETTING BURIED IT WHEN WE SHARE IT ON OTHER PAGES, WE ALSO PUT ALL OF OUR EVENTS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE WEBSITE SO THAT YOU ALL KNOW THAT, AND THEY'RE BURIED IN THERE ON THE CALENDAR, WHICH DOES GET BURIED, BUT THEY'RE THERE ALSO.
SO IF ANYBODY EVER ASKS YOU, YOU CAN SAY THAT THESE, THESE ARE HOW WE PROMOTE OUR ITEMS. IT'S ALSO GOES ON THE BIG ELECTRONIC BOARD DOWN THERE BY HOT BURRITO, SOUTHWESTERN.
I USUALLY DIRECT PEOPLE TO THE WEBSITE, TO THE RIGHTS WEBSITE.
CAUSE THAT'S WHERE THEY, THAT'S WHERE THEY ARE.
UM, SO DO WE NOT HAVE A COMMITMENT WITH THE SCHOLARSHIP THEN? I DO NOT HAVE THAT YET.
NO, BECAUSE USUALLY RIGHT NOW, LIKE I, I DO, UM, I'M JUST SAYING WITH THE DATE AND FOUNDATION FOR VANDALIA FOUNDATION AND THEY NOTIFY AS ALWAYS IN JANUARY, THE DATE AND FOUNDATION, BUT I KNOW I'VE NEVER HEARD FROM HIM CONCERNING THIS ONE EVER SINCE I'M ON THE COMMITTEE.
NO, BECAUSE THIS ONE, WE GOT THE MONEY IN LAST YEAR AND IT'S GOING TO BE GIVEN AS A SCHOLARSHIP THIS SCHOOL YEAR.
SO THEY'RE NOT GONE THROUGH THE DAYTON FOUNDATION.
SO THE DAYTON FOUNDATION HAS THE FUNDS AND THEY ARE GOING TO START WORKING ON THE CRITERIA.
OH, THEY HAVEN'T DONE THAT PART.
NO, BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET AWARDED UNTIL LIKE THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WHICH IS LIKE MAY.
SO WE DON'T HAVE THAT CONFIRMATION FROM T-MOBILE FOR THIS YEAR, WHICH WOULD THEN BE GRANTED NEXT YEAR.
SO, UM, BUT LIKE I SAY, WE'RE STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM.
SO JUST GETTING ALL THESE FINE TUNE THINGS FOR AN EVENT THAT HAPPENS IN FEBRUARY, THAT WE DON'T DO A LOT OF PLANNING FOR BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
IT'S JUST KIND OF IN A RUSH, RUSH RUSH.
SO, UM, WILL THE TABLES AND EVERYTHING BE SET UP LIKE THEY WERE LAST YEAR BY THE WE'VE SAID PUBLIC WORKS.
SO I HAVE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UM, A DIFFERENT SETUP BECAUSE WE HAD THE TABLES AGAINST THE WALL AND THE ARTISTS HAD TO KIND OF STAND AROUND.
I'M ASKING THAT THE TABLES ARE OUT MAYBE SIX FEET SO THAT THE ARTISTS CAN BE, HAVE A CHAIR BEHIND THEIR ARTWORK NOT BEING BLOCKING IT THAT WAY THEY'RE BEHIND IT.
PEOPLE CAN WALK IN FRONT OF IT AND IF THEY WANT TO GET UP AND WALK OUT AND SHAKE HANDS OR WHATEVER, THEY CAN, BUT NOT HAVE THE TABLE UP AGAINST THE WALL.
BUT SOME ARTISTS USE THE WALL TO PROP THEIR ART WITH.
SO IT'S JUST GOING TO DO DETERMINE KIND OF WHAT THEY DO.
AND THEY ARE, THEY ARE AWARE THAT THEY CAN BRING EASELS.
SO, AND WHEN WILL WE HAVE ACCESS TO LIKE NEW DECORATIONS AND THINGS? PROBABLY NOT.
WILL THAT BE WHEN SET UP IS TOO FOR THE ARTISTS? YES, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THEIR ART COMING IN THERE THAT WEEK AND BEING IN THERE.
SO WHAT TIME ARE WE? WE DON'T HAVE NOT.
SO, UM, WE'LL NEED TO GET THE REST OF, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER ENTRIES COME IN BY THE END OF THE MONTH, WHICH IS JANUARY 31ST, WE'VE GOT LIKE TWO WEEKS, THAT'S GOOD.
TWO WEEKS TO WORK OUT, LAYOUT, DECORATIONS, TIMING, THAT KIND OF THING.
UM, AND DO THEY CLEAN IT UP THAT NIGHT? ARE THEY DROPPING OFF AND PICKING UP ON THE SAME? THAT IS CORRECT.
CAUSE I'VE HAD THOSE QUESTIONS.
'CAUSE THAT COMMUNITY CENTER IS REALLY, UM, BOOKING UP.
PEOPLE ARE USING IT A LOT, SO WE CAN'T LEAVE STUFF IN THERE BECAUSE IT'S PROBABLY BEING USED THE FOLLOWING DAY.
AND IS THERE A MAX AMOUNT OF ARTISTS THAT WE CAN HAVE? I DON'T HAVE THAT.
I HAVE ABOUT 22 THAT'S THAT HAS SAID THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO IT.
SO, AND THAT'S WHAT THE COUPLE OF THE SCHOOLS AND THAT'S THE LIST THAT I GAVE HER, UM, PRESENT IN ADDITION TO LIST, I GAVE HER BECAUSE I HAD 22.
[00:20:02]
I ONLY HAVE 13 ON YOUR LIST.22, THEN I DON'T HAVE THAT WHOLE LIST.
YOU EMAIL ME? I'LL LOOK AGAIN AT HOME.
AND SO THEN WHEN THE SCHOOLS REPLY, WE NEED TO KNOW A DEFINITE AND THEY S THEY GET ONE TABLE.
SO IF THEY CAN FIT 30 KIDS AREN'T WORK ON THERE, OR IF THEY CAN ONLY FIT 10 KIDS.
AREN'T I MEAN, THEY GET ONE TABLE.
UM, SOME OF THIS ART IS POTTERY WOOD CRAFTING METAL.
I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO NEED THEIR WHOLE SPACE.
YOU CAN FILL UP WITH SOME OF THIS ARTWORK.
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE VERY TALENTED, BUT I WOULD SAY THAT SPACE COULD EASILY ACCOMMODATE WHAT 40 TABLES.
SO SADLY, I WAS THINKING 40 WOULD BE A GOOD NUMBER.
LAST YEAR, WE HAD A LOT OF SPACE OPEN IN THE MIDDLE, AND SO WE COULD ACCOMMODATE MORE THAN WHAT WE HAD LAST YEAR.
UM, ALSO WE HAVE A GUITARS COMING TO PLAY THAT DAY.
UM, TYLER COCHRAN, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S PLAYING ALL DAY.
IS THAT JUST A FEW HOURS? SO HE IS A GUITARIST AND A DJ.
HE'S GOING TO PLAY GUITAR FOR A COUPLE OF, YOU KNOW, HE'S STILL PLAY SOME SOOTHING, ACOUSTIC TYPE MUSIC.
AND THEN HE CAN PUT ON SOME CANNED MUSIC WHILE HE TAKES A BREAK.
THERE'LL BE MUSIC AND THEY DON'T COME BACK AND PLAY SOME MORE.
SO HE IS GOING TO COVER THE WHOLE TIME.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE ANYONE LIKE TO ADD ABOUT A PIANIST A SEMI CASUAL CASUAL EVENT? UM, CORRECT.
LITTLE, A LITTLE NICER THAN WHAT WE GO TO THE MOVIES IN THE MOVIE EVENTS.
UM, THIS IS FROM TWO TO SEVEN.
I'D LIKE TO ASK, UM, IF WE COULD HAVE SOME COMMITMENTS FOR HELPING THAT DAY, IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO AT 10, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE PLANNING TO ATTEND, BUT IT'S JUST TRYING TO GET LIKE A FEEL OF WHO MIGHT BE HAVING, SHOULD WE ADD TWO DAYS, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY? WE'RE NOT DOING THAT THIS YEAR.
WE'RE JUST DOING IT ON THE SATURDAY.
I'M WRITING ALL OF YOU DOWN GAVIN, UM, CHERYL TEAM ON MY CALENDAR BE ABLE TO BE THERE.
AND AGAIN, YOU DON'T, WE DON'T EVER EXPECT SOMEONE TO COME AND STAY FROM 12 TO SEVEN.
IT'S ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, COME FOR A WHILE AND HELP OUT AND GIVE SOMEBODY A BREAK.
I DON'T MIND IF I NEED A BREAK.
WITH THAT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO ITEM B ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS THE STAR-SPANGLED HEIGHTS FOR THE JULY THIS YEAR, THE STAR SPANGLED PARADE AND CELEBRATION IS GOING TO BE ON JULY 2ND.
WHERE ARE WE DOING IT THEN? INSTEAD OF THE FOREST, IF I MIGHT ASK HIM, I'M SORRY, WHERE ARE WE DOING IT ON THIS SECOND? BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS DONE ON THE WEEKEND.
I TELL YOU WHAT I RECEIVED QUITE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM VENDORS ALONG THE PIKE ABOUT THAT THIS PAST YEAR, BECAUSE THEY WERE HAVING TO BASICALLY CLOSE FOR TWO DAYS OR SOME OF THEM WERE THEY DID, HE CAN'T BE OPEN AND DO BUSINESS WHEN THE PARADE GOING BY THE PRICE FOR TWO HOURS.
THEY ONLY, THEY ONLY RESTRICTED FOR A SHORT PERIOD, BUT THOSE THAT ARE ONLY OPEN ON SATURDAY MORNINGS, WHEN THAT BECOMES A PROBLEM FOR THEM, THAT'S WHAT THE CITY DOES.
AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE, UH, PUBLIC WORKS, COME IN ON THE HOLIDAY AND THAT KIND OF THING.
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE SATURDAY BEFORE, OR IF IT FALLS ON A SATURDAY, IT'S THAT SATURDAY, UH, CONFIRMATION CAME IN TODAY FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FROM RAZI.
SO THAT'S WHEN THAT WILL BE IN CLOUD PARK.
SO THE PETTING ZOO, PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY REACHED OUT THAT IF WE WANT THEM, WE NEED TO GET THE DEPOSIT IN BECAUSE THEIR CALENDAR IS
[00:25:01]
FILLING UP.SO THAT WAS KIND OF A NICE ADD ON THING LAST YEAR.
SO WE'RE THINKING WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PETTING ZOO AS PART OF THAT ENTERTAINMENT.
SO NOT THAT THAT HAS TO ALL BE IRONED OUT TONIGHT, BUT GET, YOU KNOW, BE THINKING ABOUT, UH, JOSH AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT THE SETUP IN THE PARK WAS SO MUCH BETTER BECAUSE IT WAS DIFFERENT LAURA.
WE HAD IT WAY BACK INTO THE PARK INSTEAD OF UP AT THE FRONT.
SO WE'VE ALREADY TALKED TO TERRY WALTON THERE I'M ON BOARD WITH HAVING THEIR CAR SHOW THAT DAY BECAUSE THEY CAN HAVE IT BACK IN THEIR REGULAR VIDEO.
THEY CAN BE IN THEIR REGULAR SPOT.
SO WE'LL HAVE THE CAR SHOW MOVING ON BACK INTO THE PARK.
WE WOULD HAVE THE FOOD TRUCKS, WE'D HAVE THE PETTING ZOO OVER HERE.
UM, JOSH IS GOING TO REACH OUT TO THE OLD TIME BASEBALL PLAYERS.
CAUSE THAT SEEMED TO BE A BIG HIT.
UM, WE'LL HAVE THE FOOD TRUCKS BACK IN THE BACK.
AND EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT HAVING THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY TENT FOR THE CITY, I WOULD LIKE TO STILL HAVE THE LARGE TENT TO GIVE SOME SHADE OUT THERE FOR THE PEOPLE TO EAT OR SIT WHILE THE MUSIC'S PLAYING.
AND SO OF COURSE THERE WOULD BE THE BANDS THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE.
SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW IT'S SHAPING UP AT THIS POINT BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE HAD ABOUT NOT HAVING RIGHTS.
I CALLED A COUPLE PEOPLE AND MY BROTHER DOES THE, HE HELPS WITH BROOKE.
PHIL'S BIG CELEBRATION AND THEY HAVE A CREW THAT COMES OUT EVERY YEAR AND DOES RIDES AND GAMES.
AND IF WE'RE INTERESTED, THEY'RE WILLING TO MEET WITH US TO TALK ABOUT COMING IN, HELPING CUBA.
UM, THE PRICES WERE NOT, UM, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'D HAVE TO LOOK AT AND SEE, BUT IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED, I'LL GET ALL THE DETAILS.
THEY COME, THEY SET UP, THEY PROVIDE ALL THE HELP, ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WORK IT, WE COULD STILL DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
OUR CHURCH HAS DONE IN THE PAST.
SO IT'S EVEN BIGGER FOR THE KIDS, BUT THAT WOULD GIVE THE TEENAGERS A LITTLE SOMETHING.
UM, WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE COMPANY? I, I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE COMPANY.
IT'S JUST A GROUP THAT DOES GET RIDES.
SO ARE THESE RIGHTS, LIKE YOU SEE IT IN NORMAL CARNIVAL, LIKE THE SCRAMBLER AND STUFF? IS THAT THE SCRAMBLER OR THEY HAVE ONE THAT'S THE DROP ZONE.
UM, I'VE GONE TO TWO THEY'RE THERE.
MY BROTHER, I GO OUT THERE EVERY TIME AND THEY DO A REALLY GOOD JOB.
SO I THINK EVERYONE WOULD LIKE LARGE SLIDE.
DO YOU, WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE THEM TO COME AND SPEAK AT MAYBE OUR NEXT MEETING OR TWO FEBRUARY, MARCH SOONER THAN, AND HAVE THEM COME AND TALK TO US ABOUT IT AND TALK ABOUT PRICING AND WHAT THEY DO JUST TO HEAR FROM THEM.
BUT I REALLY ENJOYED THE FACT.
WE DIDN'T HAVE RIGHTS THIS PAST YEAR.
I THOUGHT IT REALLY CAME EITHER OLD TOWN, OLD TOWN, SMALL TOWN TIME, OLD TIME.
CAUSE I KNOW WHEN, UM, THE CHAMBER WAS GOING TO HAVE THE RIDES, EVERYONE WENT CRAZY AND ONE OF THEM, SO THERE'S A MATTER OF OPINION OF LIKE, DO WE WANT THEM, DO WE NOT WANT THEM? BUT WHAT DOES IT HURT? I COME IN TO THE BIG PARK, ALONG THE MURAL OR WHATEVER IT WAS.
AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN HERE A LONG TIME.
SO THERE IS A KIN TO THE PANTRY.
BUT THERE'S JUST FEWER OF THOSE COMPANIES GOING AROUND ANYMORE.
SO THIS IS SOMEBODY THAT WOULD LOCAL THAT HAS, WE CAN AT LEAST LET THEM COME IN AND TALK TO US.
AND IF ANY QUESTIONS THEN THE BROOKVILLE, UM, CELEBRATION, THEIR BIG CELEBRATION EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS.
SO THEY'RE ESTABLISHED, THEY'RE ESTABLISHED.
THEY HAVE A REALLY GOOD REPUTATION.
MY BROTHER'S WORKED WITH THEM FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
CAUSE HE'S BEEN ON THEIR COMMITTEE.
I MEAN, IT'S ARE THEY GONNA SELL TICKETS? ARE WE COVERING THE COST OF THEM BEING THERE? LET'S LET THEM COME.
I THINK THAT'D BE GREAT IF YOU COULD INVITE THEM AND LET JERRY KNOW WHAT MEETING SHE'S ASKING MAYBE FOR FEBRUARY SOONER, THE BETTER.
SO WE CAN LOOK AT OUR BUDGET AND THINGS.
DO WE NEED TO MAKE AN, A MAYBE VOTE ON, DO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THAT? IF WE WANT TO SEE THAT? OH, WE DON'T WANT IT.
IT'LL JUST BE TALKING SO PRETTY.
THIS, I WILL MAKE ONE LAST COMMENT THOUGH.
I DID LIKE THE FACT THAT WE DID NOT HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF ESCORTED TEENAGERS OR YOUNG TEENAGERS RUNNING AROUND THE PARK.
AND I THINK A LOT OF THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE FACT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY FEBRUARY 16TH, PLEASE.
JUST THE NEXT WELL, IF THEY COME OUT, WE DON'T TO SAY YES BY ANY MEANS.
I STILL WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO, I'M CURIOUS.
I, I HONESTLY GOT ON THIS CERTIFICATION TO TRY TO GET MORE RIGHTS AND GET THE RIGHT TO GET THE OLD FESTIVALS.
OUR CHURCH IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO CONTINUE TO DO THE BIG GAMES AND EVEN MAKE IT BIGGER EVERY YEAR BECAUSE MY, BECAUSE OUR CHURCH
[00:30:01]
SEES THE VALUE IN REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.SO WE'RE STILL ON BOARD WITH THAT.
AND IT COULD BE AN ADDITION TO, OR IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.
SO, AND I WILL SAY THIS MUCH, SHANNON, I GOT A LOT OF POSITIVE COMMENTS ABOUT GETTING HOSED UP.
WHAT YOUR GROUP DID THIS PAST WOULD HAVE BEEN.
AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN JUST ONE OR TWO COMMENTS, BUT IT WASN'T JUST ONE OR TWO.
IT WAS, DOES POSITIVE COCAINE.
AT WHAT POINT DOES ARTS AND REC TAKE OVER THAT SIDE OF IT? I'M NOT TRYING TO FLICK IT, BUT ARE THEY DOING IT THIS LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR WITH SPLIT OR IS IT GOING TO BE ALL ON US? AS FAR AS THE , YOU KNOW, CAN WE GET THE PREY THAT WE KNOW ABOUT HAMILL? AND THEN LAST YEAR THEY HANDLED THE OTHER SIDE OF IT.
ARE WE STILL GOING TO DO SOME SPLIT OR PARKS AND REC AND PARKS AND REC DOES NOT, DID NOT HANDLE IT A AND B HANDLED IT.
THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, YOU WOULD BE JOSH KING PLAYS A BIG PART IN IT.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE COULDN'T INVITE OTHER GROUPS TO PURCHASE.
THEY DON'T ALWAYS SHOW UP, BUT IT IS AN A AND B EVENT.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AND BEAUTIFICATION DOING A RECREATION, BUT I DON'T MIND AS MUCH ON OUR PLATE FOR YEARS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T EXIST FOR YEARS.
SO, UM, I KNOW THEY'RE THEIR SLIM ROUTINE.
I'LL BE BY, WELL, ONE THING I WANT TO ADD, UM, DWAYNE, THE PARADE, WE WERE ALL SCATTERED.
AND AT ONE TIME WE TALKED ABOUT THE WALKIE TALKIES INSTEAD OF EUTHANIZED CELL PHONE.
UM, I GAVE YOU THE PRICE OF THAT.
WHAT DO YOU RECALL? WHAT, AND THEN IF IT JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN THAT WE'LL SURE LOOK INTO IT EARLIER THIS YEAR.
I'M GLAD THAT, AND JERRY NEEDS A GOLF CART.
PUT JERRY NEEDS A GOLF CART ON THAT.
, WE'LL MAKE IT RED WITH A BIG LIE ON IT ELSE TO SEE IF THE POLICE HAVE LMRS THAT WE'RE LAND MOBILE RADIOS AGAIN, CAN WE TIE INTO THAT OR DO WE HAVE EXACTLY.
AND THEY PROBABLY WON'T WANT US TYING INTO THEIRS BECAUSE THEY'RE RIGHT UP.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE WITH WHO THEY GET THEIRS.
AND I WAS TOLD TO SEE WHERE THEY GET THERE TO SEE IF IT WAS BETTER PRICING IN THAT.
JUST KIND OF SAY, WE WILL LOOK INTO THAT AHEAD OF TIME.
THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FREEDOM.
SO TALKING ABOUT OUR PRAYED, LAURA, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE NEW.
SO WE'LL KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT WE DO AS FAR AS ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION AND THE PARADE.
PART OF IT IS IT'S OUR JOB TO LINE THEM UP IN THE MORNING.
SO WE SHOW UP TYPICALLY AT ST.
PETER'S AND GERALD CONFIRM THE TIME AS TO WHAT TIME WE'RE TO BE THERE.
AND THEN SHE HAS A LIST PREPARED ALREADY.
AND THEN BASICALLY SHE KIND OF HELPS US GET THEM ALL LINED UP.
THEY ALSO, UM, IN THE PAST, AND I THINK THAT EVERYONE ENJOYS IT.
WE COME UP WITH A THEME AS TO WHAT THAT'S GOING TO BE.
YOU KNOW, IF THEY WANTED TO DECORATE, REMEMBER WE'VE DONE 4TH OF JULY THEMES.
WE'VE DONE OTHER THINGS FOR THE CITY THIS YEAR.
IT WAS BIRTHDAY AND 4TH OF JULY.
SO YOU COULD DECORATE IT ANY WHICH WAY YOU WANTED.
AND THEN ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION GAVE OUT THREE AWARDS BASED UPON WHAT THE THEME WAS.
SO WE FORM A COMMITTEE AND THEN THAT HAPPENS ALSO.
AND THEN TYPICALLY RIGHT AFTER, UM, THE ACTUAL PARADE, WE ALL MEET DOWN AT THOMAS CLUB PARK.
AND THERE IS A TENT THAT WE SET AT THAT IS KIND OF LIKE A WELCOME TENT.
AND WE'RE KIND OF THERE ALL DAY TO ASSIST PEOPLE, HELP THEM, IF THEY NEED TO KNOW WHERE THIS IS OR WHERE THAT IS OR LOST CHILD OR WHATEVER.
SO I HOPE THAT HELPS YOU A LITTLE BIT.
AND WE NEED TO LOCATE THAT WELCOME TECH, MORE CLOSELY TO WHERE THE OTHER TENTS ARE GOING TO BE BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST WEREN'T GETTING THE IDEA THAT THEY COULD STOP THERE AND ASK IT.
WASN'T A GOOD PLACE TO HAVE IT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TRAFFIC STOPPING THERE.
UM, AND WHEN THEY DID TRACK TO MOVE ON IN CAR, AND THEN THEY CAN COME WALK OVER TO A WELCOME TENT AT THAT TENT KIND OF CAUSED SOME TRAFFIC ISSUES.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO JUST HAVE A SIGN THAT ACTUALLY IDENTIFIES THAT IT'S AN INFORMATION TENT AND THEN ARTS OF BEAUTIFICATION.
WE HAVE THE ARCHIE BEAUTIFICATION BANNER, RIGHT.
I MEAN, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? LIKE THEY CAN GO THERE FOR INFORMATION.
WE HAVE MORE THAN ONE BANNER, BUT YOU KNOW, HEY, WE'RE DOING A LOT OF WORK HERE.
WE NEED TO GET OUR FACES OUT THERE.
THEY NEED TO KNOW WE'RE OUT THERE DOING IT.
I WILL SAY THAT THE ONLY ADVANTAGE TO HAVING IT, WHERE IT WAS IS A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTED TO GO IN THE AQUATIC CENTER FOR HANDICAP PARKING AND SPLASH OR YEAH.
THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE JUST ON AUTOPILOT FROM PRIOR YEARS AND IT WAS LIKE,
[00:35:01]
KEEP MOVING, KEEP MOVEMENTS, SUING SOMEBODY.THERE WAS KIND OF HELPFUL, BUT, BUT WE CAN DO THAT WITH SIGNAGE AND STUFF.
SO THE PARK LAYOUT WILL AGAIN BE, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN THE FIRE AND POLICE AND STAFF.
BUT YES, I HAVE ALL THAT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION THAT, THAT TENT WASN'T PLACED EXACTLY WHERE IN THE BEST IT WAS GREAT FOR CHERYL AND I, BECAUSE WE GOT TO WATCH THE BASEBALL GAME AND THE SHADE OLD TIME BASEBALL GAME.
UM, DID WE HAVE A THEME YET FOR THE STAR SPANGLE OR IS THAT GOING TO COME LATER? I THINK YOU ALL NEED TO THINK ABOUT, AND YOU'LL BRING IT BACK NEXT MONTH.
HOW ABOUT THAT? UH, THE CITY ACTUALLY PLACED THE BIRTHDAY BECAUSE IT WAS THE CITY'S 40TH BIRTHDAY.
SO, UM, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A CITYWIDE THEME AGAIN LIKE THAT ONE WAS OKAY.
UM, ANYTHING ON FIREWORKS, JERRY? THAT, CAUSE SINCE IT'S ON HERE, JUST NOT REALLY.
SO THE HOURS OF THE PARK CELEBRATION WILL BE 12 TO 10:30 PM.
UM, AND I AM THINKING PROBABLY WHAT WILL STILL HAPPEN WILL BE THE FLAG RAISING CEREMONY, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THEY HAVE THE VETERANS MEMORIAL.
THAT'S WHAT THE VETERANS HAVE CONFIRMED WITH ME THAT THEY WILL BE DOING WHAT I'M THINKING.
BUT I'M SAYING THAT THE AGENDA SET OF VETERANS AND BEDS THERE, THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE.
IT'S OUR, IT'S OUR VETERANS COMMISSION, MILITARY AND VETERANS THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT.
THEY TOOK IT OVER AFTER THE FIRST YEAR I DID IT, THEN I GAVE IT TO THEM AND NOW THEY DO IT.
AND NOW THAT THEY HAVE THE MEMORIAL, I THINK THEY PLAN ON MAKING IT EVEN BETTER THAN IT'S EVER BEEN BECAUSE IT WILL BE RIGHT THERE.
SO WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WITH OUR, UH, UH, PARKING AND, UM, IT ALSO WILL DEPEND ON THE FIREWORKS LINE IF THEY CAN HAVE IT AT THAT MEMORIAL.
WE'LL TALK, WE'LL GET WITH, UM, CHIEF NICELY.
SO IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT FOR 4TH OF JULY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS YOU HAD A THEME THEME JUST CAME TO MIND BECAUSE ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HANDING FLYERS ABOUT STUFF.
I THINK WE SHOULD HAND OUT FLYERS FOR THE MOVIE NIGHT.
DURING THE PARADE, DURING THE PARADE.
SO TWO YEARS AGO, UM, PARKS, THE PARKS DEPARTMENT MADE LIKE A MAGNET.
IT WAS LIKE THIS REALLY COOL TOO.
SO IT WASN'T A BIG FLYER ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR MOVIE OR THIS PARTICULAR BAND, BUT IT WAS LIKE A CALENDAR.
SO WE WOULD DO THAT AT HOME TOO.
BUT, UH, WE, WE MENTIONED THIS AND THEN WE SORTA TALKED, WE'LL BRING IT BACK IT AN ARTICLE THAT APPEARED SEVERAL TIMES ON FACEBOOK, BUT A REPRINT, I THINK OF EITHER THE DAYTON DAILY NEWS OR W H I O T V IT, UH, LISTED HUBER HEIGHTS AS ONE OF THE MOST CULTURALLY DIVERSE CITIES IN THE STATE OF OHIO.
AND THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT FOR A THEME IS DIVERSITY.
THAT WOULD BE A WONDERFUL THING.
NOT SAYING YOU HAVE TO GO WITH IT.
MIGHT COME ALONG BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT.
ANYBODY, ANYTHING ELSE? DON'T THINK SO.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON, PLEASE, TO SEE ON OUR AGENDA MAYOR GOLD FESTIVAL.
UM, WE'LL GO BACK A LITTLE BIT IF THAT'S OKAY, JERRY FOR A MINUTE AND TALK ABOUT IT.
AND THEN, UH, FOR THIS YEAR IT'S SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER THE 10TH AT THE EICHELBERGER THEATER.
UM, BUT TALKING ABOUT LAST YEAR, WE DID A COUPLE OF THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT AND I KNOW PARKS AND RECS ARE GONNA WORK ON IT.
CAUSE I'VE TALKED TO JOSH AND HE THINKS IT'S VALUABLE AND IMPORTANT IS THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE MORE HANDICAP PARKING AVAILABLE.
AND I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL BECAUSE HE SAW THAT NEED RIGHT AWAY AND HE WANTED TO MAKE IT BETTER.
I DO THINK OUR MIRACLE FESTIVAL THOUGH OVERALL WAS PRETTY GOOD THAT DAY.
I THINK THAT WE COULD DO MORE FLOWERS.
SO, YOU KNOW, THE SEATS THAT WE GAVE OUT, WE DO HAVE LOTS OF THOSE LEFT TOO.
SO YOU HAVE GREEN THUMBS AND WANT TO PLAN THEM AND HOPE TO GET THEM GROWING.
SO THAT BY THE TIME THE FESTIVAL COMES, WE HAVE BIG, BIG POTS.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY TO HELMETS ABOUT THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL FROM LAST YEAR AND YOU HAD SOME IDEAS THAT YOU TEXTED ME A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, WHICH I THOUGHT
[00:40:01]
REALLY WERE GOOD IDEAS WITH, PERHAPS, MAYBE YOU WANT TO SHARE THEM WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP, BUT, UM, WELL I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT ALL THEY WERE, SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME, GREG.UM, I KNOW I DID TALK ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT I FELT LIKE IT WAS FOR, YOU KNOW, THE HANDICAP BECAUSE IT BROKE MY HEART TO SEE SOME OF THEM WITH WALKERS STRUGGLING THROUGH THE GRASS.
UM, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT AND THEN I KNOW THAT WE DID TALK ABOUT, UM, MAYBE TRYING TO, TO DO MORE ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILIES.
NOT JUST LIKE THE PLAYING WAS GREAT, WHAT YOU DID, BUT I MEAN MORE FOR THE FAMILIES.
LIKE YOU WOULD SEE AT A FESTIVAL, YOU KNOW, OTHER THAN JUST BOOSTS AND TRYING TO GET SOME MORE CRAFTS ARTISTS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, THE OTHER THING I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT WAS DECORATING IT, MAKING IT LOOK BETTER IF I'M FORGETTING SOMETHING YOU GOT TO HELP ME BECAUSE MY BRAIN LATELY, UM, I CAN'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING.
ONE OF THE COMPONENTS THAT WE DISCUSSED WITH ADDING A CAR, LIKE A CLASSIC CAR SHOW TO THIS.
WELL, I JUST KNOW THAT THE HUBER HEIGHTS POLICE IN AUGUST OF 2021 ADDED CAR SHOW TO THEIR NATIONAL NIGHT OUT EVENT AND IN TALKING WITH, UH, AND I'M FORGETTING THE OFFICER'S NAME, I DO APOLOGIZE, BUT HEATH CAR CARD, THAT'S IT RIGHT.
HE IS TELLING IT WAS TELLING ME THEY HAD MORE THAN TRIPLE THE AMOUNT OF ATTENDANCE OVER PRIOR YEARS, BY JUST ADDING THAT I KNOW BITES IN THE HEIGHTS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND THEY WILL DO THEIR CAR SHOW AGAIN.
I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO DO THE CAR SHOW ON 4TH OF JULY, SOMETHING QUITE SO INVOLVED WITH SORT OF A CRUISE IN TYPE OF THING.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE PRICES THAT JUST SHOW UP WITH YOUR OLD CAR AND, AND, UH, WE'RE GOING TO LOSE SOME OF THAT SPACE.
UM, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A PLAYGROUND COMING THERE, RIGHT.
DID YOU GUYS KNOW THEY'RE PUTTING IN PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT BY THE EICHELBERGER THEATER? SO WE'RE GOING TO LOSE SOME SPACE BECAUSE THEY ARE PLANNING THAT ALSO, WHICH IT'S NEEDED.
WELL, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE WON'T HAVE QUITE AS MANY BOOTHS BECAUSE IT'S NOT AN ELECTION YEAR, SO, OKAY, LAURA, SO THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL IS CRAFT VENDORS, HOMEMADE GOODS, THAT KIND OF THING.
UM, AGAIN, WE ALWAYS WAIT VERY LATE TO PUT THE WORD OUT, ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO PUT THEIR OWN WORD OUT NOW, YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS THE DATE OF THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL, WATCH HOOVER'S WEBSITE.
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, YOU KNOW, TO TRY TO GET SOME MORE TRACTION GOING ON THAT NOW, BECAUSE I KNOW THOSE KINDS OF PEOPLE ALSO FILL UP THEIR SCHEDULES, RIGHT.
FOR THEIR, UM, TO SELL THEIR THINGS.
SO, UM, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BOOTHS.
UH, SO, UM, TALK TO COUNSEL COUPLE TIMES THAT I FELT LIKE IT WAS WONDERFUL THAT WE HAD MUSIC DURING IT, BUT IT WAS HARD TO HEAR THEM THAT WE NEEDED A BETTER SOUND SYSTEM OVER THERE.
AND THEY'RE GONNA MAYBE WORK ON THAT.
CAUSE IT WAS HARD TO HEAR, BUT I'M GOING TO THROW IT OUT THERE.
YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO DO THIS, THIS DRAMA THING THAT MIGHT BE THE DAY TO DO THAT.
CAUSE WE'LL ALREADY BE THERE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AT THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL, THAT MIGHT BE THE DAY TO HAVE YOUR EVENT ON THE STAGE.
WELL, IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MUSIC, YOU CAN, YOU CAN'T SWAP ALL THAT AROUND.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRYING TO PUSH IT INTO MAY.
WELL, THERE'S JUST SO MUCH, YOU'RE TRYING TO MOVE IN AND OUT ON STAGE BY SOME MOBILE SPEECH OR DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE EICHELBERGER AMPHITHEATER IS? OKAY.
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY MORE FOR THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL SUGGESTIONS, IDEAS OR COMMENTS? UH, YEAH, WE DID GET A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE WHO WERE ACCUSTOMED TO COMING UP THERE FOR THE FARMER'S MARKET AND SOME OF THE FARMER'S MARKET VENDORS THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE GOT ALL OF THIS STUFF COMING ON.
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY CAN STOP THE, THE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES THEY'RE GROWING AND YOU KNOW, DELAY IT A WEEK.
IT'S SOMETHING WE MIGHT WANT TO GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO IS HAVING BOTH, WE'RE NOT HAVING THE FARMER'S MARKET AT THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL.
I UNDERSTAND THAT IT WOULDN'T BE A FARMER'S MARKET IN SEPTEMBER.
WE COULD HIT ALLOW SOME OF THOSE VENDORS TO COME AND SELL THEIR WARES.
THEY WANT TO HAVE A BOOTH AND BE IN THE FESTIVAL HAVING FARMER'S MARKET.
I ACTUALLY THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE SOME OF THEM HAVE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS THAT THEY GROW AND THEY HAVE CRAFTS AND THERE'S CANS.
AND WITH BASICALLY TWO OR THREE EXCEPTIONS MADE, IT'S NOT LIKE THEY HAVE TO HAVE SPACE TO BRING IN BIG TRUCKS AND TRAILERS.
IT'S UM, YEAH, THERE THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN HAVEN'T THEY ALWAYS BEEN WELCOMED TO COME AND HAVE
[00:45:01]
A BOOTH AT THE FARMER'S MARKET, RIGHT.SO SOME OF THOSE VENDORS, IF THEIR MARKET ISN'T SET UP, THEY DON'T WANT TO COME.
SO IT'S THEIR CHOICE, BUT WE'RE NOT HAVING BOTH.
WE HAVE THE MARIGOLD AND IF THEY WANT TO BE A VENDOR, THEY WANT TO HAVE A BOOTH.
BUT IT'S SOMETHING WE MIGHT CONSIDER INCLUDING IN THERE, SINCE THEY'RE BUYING A FARMER'S MARKET SEASON PASS, WE MIGHT MAKE THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL INCLUDED IN THAT SEASON PASS.
DO YOU WORK WITH THEM A LOT? LIKE, AND CHERYL, DO YOU GUYS, MAYBE WE COULD ASK THEM NOW, LIKE IF THEY SAY, HEY, TELL THEM, WELL, SOMEHOW I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM GOT THE IDEA AND I HAD, I WAS RUNNING AROUND, CORRECT.
HE UP AND SAID, YOU CAN BE THERE.
I THINK THE FACT THAT THEY HAD TO BUY YET AND PAY ANOTHER FEE FOR IT, BUT THERE, BUT THEY DON'T PAY FOR THAT WEEK TO BEGIN WITH.
I MEAN, THEY KNOW IN ADVANCE THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THAT.
BUT IF THEY WANT IT TO BE IN THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL, 20, 21, THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER FEE FOR A BOOTH SPACE.
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING THOUGH.
THEY DIDN'T PAY FOR A FEED THAT FOR NO, THEY JUST, THEY JUST WEREN'T THERE.
THEY WOULDN'T BE PAYING TWO FEES, BUT WE HAD PEOPLE SHOWING UP WANTING TO BUY WARES FROM THE FARMER'S MARKET AND JUST TURNING AROUND AND LEAVING AND NOT COMING INTO THE REST OF THE EVENT WHERE WE CAN'T BE ALL THINGS TO EVERYBODY.
BUT IF WE SOMEHOW OPENED IT UP AND ENCOURAGED THE SMALLER VENDORS TO BE THERE, WE COULD PROMOTE IT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
AND I THINK JOSH HAS, UH, HE WAS THERE LAST YEAR AND SAW THAT THAT HAPPENED.
AND I THINK HE'LL GET THE WORD OUT TOO SO THAT THEY UNDERSTAND MORE, BETTER THIS YEAR.
UM, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE TO ANYBODY ELSE? WELL, I WOULD LOVE TO SHOUT OUT TO THE GIRL SCOUTS.
I WATCHED THEM HELP ALL THESE VENDORS CARRY THINGS IN.
THEY WERE ALWAYS ASKING US IF WE NEEDED ANYTHING SO BIG SHOUT OUT TO THEM TO HAVE THEM HELP.
AGAIN, I WOULD LOVE THAT TOO, BECAUSE THEY NEED THEIR HOURS.
SO WERE YOU THE CONTACT PERSON WITH THEM? I THINK IT WAS CINDY.
THEY JUST KIND OF SAID THEY WANTED TO SHOW US.
SO COULD YOU GET WITH SOMEONE AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT THAT DATE IS SO THAT THEY HAVE THAT DATA USEFUL? MY WIFE'S GROUP HAD A, UH, AT A 10TH FLOWS.
AND ALONG THAT LINES, DID WE HAVE THE POLICE EXPLORERS HELPING US OUT? NO, IT'S THE SAME TIME OF THE ITALIAN FESTIVAL AND OTHER FESTIVALS.
AND I BELIEVE THEY WORK THE ITALIAN FESTIVAL.
IT'S ONE OF THEIR FUNDRAISERS.
YOU WANT TO HIT THEM UP EARLY AND SEE IF WE CAN.
THAT IS A GREAT BUNCH OF KIDS.
WE HAD THEM HELPING WITH OUR TREE LOT THIS YEAR.
UH, YOU NEVER HAVE TO TELL THESE KIDS, THEY HAVE TO BE, YOU BASICALLY GIVE THEM THE IDEA OF WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.
THEY FIND, THEY FIND THINGS TO KEEP THEMSELVES BUSY.
WHEREAS A LOT OF GROUPS YOU'RE CONSTANTLY TELLING THEM WHAT TO DO.
I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE POLICE EXPLORERS THIS YEAR.
WE WOULD FIND THEM TO BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL IF WE CAN SOMEHOW WORK IT OUT SO THEY CAN DO BOTH THE EVENTS AND GOOD.
SO ANY MORE ON THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL, ANYBODY.
UM, WE'LL GO AHEAD THEN AND MOVE ON TO ITEM D ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS THE TREE LIGHTING.
THIS YEAR'S TREE LIGHTING WILL BE SATURDAY, DECEMBER THE THIRD, JUST SO YOU GUYS CAN KIND OF PUT THAT ON YOUR CALENDAR.
AND IF WE COULD GO AHEAD AND DISCUSS THAT MORE NEXT MONTH OR THE MONTH AFTER WOULD BE GREAT.
UM, SO WITH THAT, I'M JUST GOING TO KIND OF TABLE THE REST OF THAT ONE TOO, BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER THINGS THAT'LL COME UP AHEAD OF IT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO NEXT BEFORE YOU GO OUT AND DO WANT TO END UP WE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT MORE, BUT IT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS MISSING, UM, THAT I LAST TREE LIGHTING PARKING AS FAR AS WE HAD TO GO AHEAD AND PUT THE CONES UP AT TAKING THE HOMES DOWN.
SO I REALLY HAD TO PUT IT IN MY NOTES.
WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT MORE NEXT MONTH, BUT I'M GOING TO WRITE IT ON HERE.
SO MAYBE WE CAN USE THOSE POLICE EXPLORERS TO HELP WITH THE PARKING.
BECAUSE WE DID PUT THE CALLS OUT AFTER EVERYONE GOT INTO THE PARKING LOT, BUT THEN THEY COULDN'T GET OUT AND HAD TO GO PICK UP THE CONES.
THAT'S THERE, IT'S JUST THE FACT THAT YOU'VE GOT THAT WAGON RUNNING THROUGH THERE.
AND OF COURSE YOU HAD A LOT OF LITTLE KIDS RUNNING IN BETWEEN SANTA AND THE WAGON AT THAT REALLY HAD TO WATCH IT
[00:50:01]
CARS GOING IN AND OUT OF THAT LOT.THANK YOU FOR THAT GWENDOLYN CAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT.
UM, PROVIDED WE HAVE GOOD WEATHER AND THE TURNOUT WE HAD THIS YEAR.
UM, SO NEXT PLEASE, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO ITEM E, WHICH IS OUR YARD BEAUTIFICATION AWARDS.
AND WHAT THAT WAS IS, UM, LAURA, IS THAT WE ACTUALLY LIKE, UM, WE ASKED HOMES TO, TO BE NOMINATED EITHER THEY COULD NOMINATE THEMSELVES OR A CITIZEN COULD NOMINATE A HOME OR A BUSINESS FOR A BEAUTIFICATION AWARD.
AND THEN WE HAD SIGNS THAT WERE GIVEN TO THEM AND THEY WERE RECOGNIZED HERE AT CITY HALL DURING A COUNCIL MEETING.
UM, AND THEY WERE PRESENTED THE SIGNS OF CONCERNING THEIR BEAUTIFICATION AWARD.
AND SO THAT WAS KIND OF NEAT THAT WE DID THAT.
AND WE'D LIKE TO KIND OF THINK OF THAT A LITTLE BIT AND DO IT MAYBE TWICE, MAYBE THIS COMING YEAR.
UM, WELL I'M LOOKING AT LIKE, WE NEED TO DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE IT.
I THINK IT WAS A SUCCESSFUL EVENT.
UM, AND LOOKING AT OTHER CITIES, HOW OTHER CITIES DO IT, UM, SOME DO IT ON A MONTHLY BASIS.
SO THIS HOME IS FOR THIS MONTH, THIS HOME GETS IT SO THAT YOU'VE GOT MORE HOMES IN THERE, BUT WE HAD THREE FOR THE SUMMER.
SO WE NOMINATED THREE HOMES, WHICH IF YOU DID ONE A MONTH, YOU'D HAVE THREE HOMES.
SO YOU JUST GOT TO KIND OF THINK ABOUT HOW YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO IT.
DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE IT THE WAY WE DID IT? I THINK IT WAS GOOD.
DID YOU WANT TO TWEAK IT TO MAYBE DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT? UM, WE JUST WANTED TO GET THOSE THOUGHTS GOING BACK IN YOUR MIND.
SO THAT NEXT MONTH WE CAN MAYBE REALLY PIN DOWN EXACTLY WHAT IT IS SO THAT WE CAN ADVERTISE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE SOONER.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE REALLY GEARING FOR THIS YEAR IS TO GET A LOT OF THE ADVERTISEMENT OUT SOONER.
AND I HAVE AN EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE WHO WOULD, UH, CONSIDER DOING IT ON A MONTHLY BASIS.
SEE WHAT, WHAT WE WOULD HAVE, WHAT THAT WOULD ENTAIL.
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT YOU WANT IDEAS ABOUT.
THAT WOULD BE THAT WAY, YOUR HOME, YOUR, THE YARD BEAUTIFUL FOR MAY.
YOU'RE THE YARD BEAUTIFUL FOR JUNE OR WHATEVER.
SO IT'S JUST ONE AND EVERY MONTH, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.
SO ONE BUSINESS, MAYBE ONE HOME AT THE SAME TIME.
SO WE CAN ALWAYS RECOGNIZE OUR BUSINESSES TO JUST DIFFERENT IDEAS LIKE THAT.
I MEAN, YEAH, LIKE I THINK, CAN I ASK SOMETHING SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF COME TO A SOLUTION ON THAT? THAT COULD WE, COULD I GET A FEW PEOPLE TO VOLUNTEER TO PUT THAT TOGETHER? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BE IN CHARGE OF IT.
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WE ALL GO OUT AND LOOK AT HOMES, BUT JUST TO KIND OF, SO LAST YEAR WE HAD PEOPLE, WE ASKED FOR PEOPLE TO NOMINATE.
SO WE DID HAVE PEOPLE EMAIL US.
IT WASN'T THAT YOU GUYS WENT OUT AND PICKED BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT IT EVER TO BE THAT WE'RE SAYING YOU HAVE THE PRETTIEST YARD.
IT'S BEING NOMINATED BY FELLOW RESIDENTS.
SO WE DON'T NEED A COMMITTEE FROM OUR BOARD.
I DON'T THINK YOU NEED A COMMITTEE TO CHOOSE OR TO PICK, OKAY, YOU MIGHT HAVE A COMMITTEE THAT WORKS ON IT OR TO DECIDE HOW WE'RE GOING TO RUN IT.
THEY GET IN AS A CUP, THAT'S THE NEXT MONTH HOMES THERE TO VISIT AND WE CAN DO THAT SEQUENTIALLY.
AND THEN THE THREE WE DID THAT.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS? BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE A LOT, YOU DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF HOMES TURNED IN.
SO IT WAS A LOT EASIER TO SAY, THIS IS THE WINNER OF THIS CATEGORY.
BUT IF YOU GET A LOT BEING TURNED IN, THEN YES, SOMEONE'S GOING TO HAVE TO CHOOSE.
SO ARE YOU OPPOSED TO A THREE OR THREE PERSON? MAYBE WE CAN HAVE AT LEAST THREE OR FOUR PEOPLE PLAN THIS, PLEASE.
ANYONE LIKE TO VOLUNTEER? WE GOT CHERYL OVER THERE.
SO CHERYL A. LITTLE MORE, MAYBE WE SHOULD GET HER A NEW MEMBER INVOLVED.
WE'LL TRY TO COME UP WITH, SO WE HAD CHERYL, LAURA, TINA, AND SHANE AND SHANNON.
CAN I ASK WHEN YOU GUYS DO MEET, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT YOUR YOU'RE LIKE LAST YEAR THAT WAS DESIGNED, WHAT YOUR, UM, AWARD WAS GOING TO LOOK LIKE THAT YOU KIND OF THINK ABOUT THAT? THE OLD DESIGN, LIKE I, SO I CAN SHOW THEM.
UM, SO, OH, I WILL ALSO GET SOME DATES TOGETHER FOR YOU SO THAT IN FEBRUARY, I CAN TELL YOU, OKAY, THIS DATE, YOU NEED TO BE READY TO ADVERTISE OR THIS DATE YOU NEED TO BE, YOU KNOW, SO THAT YOU'LL HAVE DYNAMITE.
[00:55:01]
TO GET THAT, UH, JUMP ON THAT.ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT TOPIC? ANYBODY COMMENTS? SUGGESTIONS.
LIKE THE IDEA OF A MONTHLY THING, MONTHLY.
UM, SO WITH THAT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO ITEM F, WHICH IS OUR MOVIE NIGHTS.
WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS THIS YEAR FOR OUR MOVIE NIGHTS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER OUR OPTION.
ONE IS, UH, THE MONTHS OF JUNE, ACTUALLY THERE'S THREE, I'M SORRY, JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, AND OCTOBER.
THAT'S YOUR FIRST OPTION FOR MOVIE NIGHT.
SECOND WOULD BE JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, AND OCTOBER TWO OPTIONS.
AND THOSE ARE THE, I WAS WONDERING WHAT THIS WAS THIRD, SATURDAY.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT.
THAT'S WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO BE OKAY.
AND THEY WILL BE THE THIRD SATURDAY OF THE MONTH, WHICH IS A FRIDAY OR THE IS YOU'D HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO BACK AND FORTH.
NO, TWO YEARS AGO WE HAD THEM ON FRIDAY.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE AFTER WORK, YOU KIND OF JUST GO.
AND LAST YEAR WE HAD THEM ON SATURDAY.
IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT BALL GAME, A WHOLE DIFFERENT CROWD.
SO YOU GUYS NEED TO DECIDE, DO YOU WANT TO DO THEM ON FRIDAYS OR DO YOU TO DO THEM ON SATURDAYS? WHICHEVER ONE, IT WILL BE THE THIRD, ONE OF THE MONTH.
WE'RE TRYING TO REGULATE THE SCHEDULES A LITTLE BIT MORE.
DO YOU KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO DO MUSIC NIGHTS? HE'S WORKING AROUND YOU GUYS.
SO WE PICK AND THEN HE'LL OKAY.
CAN I, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE WITH SOMEONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? WELL, WE CAN TALK ABOUT, WELL, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT.
MY SUGGESTIONS FRIDAYS, BUT Y'ALL GO AHEAD.
I'M TALKING THE MOVIES A AND B DOES THE MOVIES.
THE PARKS DEPARTMENT DOES THE MUSIC.
AND HE'S GOING TO LIKE DATE NIGHT FOR MY WIFE AND I.
SO OUT OF THAT, IF HE DID THAT, NOT THAT I'M SAYING THAT'S BUT THAT'S AN INTERESTING THOUGHT TO THROW OUT THERE AS TO WHY FRIDAY WOULD NOT BE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER COMPETING EVENTS ON FRIDAY NIGHTS HERE AT HUBER HEIGHTS.
SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE COMPETING WITH, WITH WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST THING? THE BIGGEST THING ON FRIDAY NIGHTS IS YOU HAVE THE RIP RIP BROKE.
HOW'S CRUISING ON FRIDAY NIGHT HOP, SKIP, AND A JUMP IT'S.
MOST OF THOSE BY MOVIES ARE GEARED, YOU KNOW, FAMILIES AND KIDS.
SO I DON'T KNOW THAT FAMILIES AND KIDS SHOWING UP, WE'LL JUST GO DOWN THE LIST.
THAT'S THE WAY TO DO YOU ALSO HAVE TO DECIDE IF YOU'RE DOING FOUR OR FIVE? UM, I LIKE SATURDAYS, I FEEL LIKE, I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING FOR PEOPLE TO PLAN TO DO ON A WEEKEND.
SHANNON UM, I PROBABLY WOULD GO FRIDAYS.
TINA FRIDAY, THIS IS A WORD JUST, THIS IS JUST DISCUSSION OR ANYTHING YET.
I WAS ACTUALLY LEANING TOWARDS FRIDAY MYSELF AND I WAS THINKING THE JUNE, JULY, AUGUST 10, OCTOBER.
UM, AGAIN, SATURDAY IS MY AVAILABILITY, BUT ALSO I WOULD NOT PUT A WHOLE SEPTEMBER.
ONCE YOU START SOMETHING, PEOPLE GET IN MIND MINUS EVERY SO OFTEN ON SOMETHING.
SOME IT HAVE A MONTH WHERE YOU SKIP, YOU LOSE SOMETHING AND YOU LOSE THE CROWN.
YOU HAVE TO REBUILD IT FROM THE FOLLOWING ONE.
SO MARKETING WISE WOULD BE BETTER IN MY MIND TO GO WITH A MONTHLY PICK, PICK THE DIDN'T.
BUT LIKE THIRD, SATURDAY, WE DON'T DO IT THE SAME NIGHT AS .
I WAS THINKING TOWARD FRIDAY NIGHTS BECAUSE FAMILY EVERYBODY'S ALREADY OUT.
AND SO THEY CAN JUST KEEP THE DAY GOING.
AND THEN SATURDAY, RELAXATION TIME, MOM AND DAD ARE HOME KIDS OUTSIDE THAT GUY PLAYING, THEY HAD THEIR DAY TO THEMSELVES.
SO I WAS THINKING FLIGHTY WHILE THEY ALREADY GOT THEIR YEAH, YEAH.
GET THEM OUT TWO NIGHTS ARE US.
SO YEAH, I WAS GOING TO HAVE MY FRIDAY NIGHTS, SATURDAY IT'S SATURDAY FOR ME, I JUST WOULD THINK TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE OUT AT THE RESTAURANTS DOING OTHER KINDS OF THINGS, MORE CASUAL THINGS WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOW UP AND BE THERE FOR THE BEGINNING OF A MOVIE WHERE WE SEAL THAT DEAL.
CAN WE FIND OUT WHAT THE CDS, I MEAN, CERTAIN
[01:00:01]
PEOPLE HAVE TO SUPPORT US TOO.AND PERHAPS, MAYBE WE OUGHT TO PUT SOMETHING OUT ON FACEBOOK.
WOULD YOU PREFER A FRIDAY NIGHT OR WOULD YOU PREFER A SATURDAY NIGHT? I WOULDN'T MIND POLLING PEOPLE ON THAT.
SO, SO THE DISCUSSION WAS FRIDAY VERSUS SATURDAY AND HOLDING EACH ONE OF YOU FRIDAY ONE, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO DECIDE, ARE YOU DOING FOUR OR FIVE PEOPLE HERE? EVERYBODY BASICALLY CINDY GREG, ONE SATURDAY, GWENDOLYN FRIDAY, GAVIN, SATURDAY, LAURA SATURDAY.
SHANNON WAS FRIDAY, UH, TINA FRIDAY, CHERYL FRIDAY, CINDY FRIDAY.
CAUSE I GO TO CHURCH ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
SO THE NEXT THING YOU NEED TO DISCUSS IS THE FOUR OR FIVE GAVIN BROUGHT UP A VERY GOOD POINT.
MY THING ON HAVING FIVE, I KNOW YOU GET TIRED OF COMING TO THEM.
IF YOU VOTE ON FIVE, YOU CAN'T SAY I'M SICK OF GOING.
I THINK WE SHOULD DESIGNATE ONE MEMBER A MONTH.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA THOUGH, BECAUSE I DO TOO.
I MEAN LAST YEAR IT WAS A STRUGGLE.
NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE PRIOR YEARS, WE'VE HAD A LOT MORE PEOPLE, A LOT GOING ON.
IT'S JUST TOO MUCH FOR ONE PERSON WHO COULD SHOWS UP AT EVERYTHING.
IF YOU WANT TO PICK AND CHOOSE INDIVIDUALS, I THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
BUT, UM, WE'D LIKE FOR IT TO BE, UH, UH, CONGLOMERATE, UM, I DO NOT HAVE THE BOOK FROM THE MOVIE PEOPLE YET, SO WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY PICKING THE MOVIES YET.
AT THIS POINT, THE DRIVE IN STYLE SEEMS TO BE A SUCCESS.
SO WE WOULD LIKE TO MIX A COUPLE OF THOSE IN LIKE WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST.
WE DON'T WANT TO GO ALL DRIVE IN STYLE.
YOUR TRUE WHAT THE MOVIE LIST.
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE BOOK, CAN WE LOOK AT SOME OLDER, LIKE MY WIFI WALKS THE APPLE, BUT APPLE DUMPLING GANG FROM 1970, IT WAS STILL A RIOT EVEN NOW JUST BECAUSE SURE.
BUT I'M GOING A LOT OF THE YOUNG GUYS HAVEN'T SEEN THAT.
WELL, YOUNG, YOUNGER KIDS AND STUFF.
SO IT MIGHT BE A GOONIE CAR SHOW THERE.
GREG DIDN'T HAVE SEEN THAT MOVIE YET.
WAS ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO KIND OF PUT A LIST TOGETHER OF OLD MOVIES, NEWER MOVIES, YOUNG MOVIES, YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF THING.
OR WELCOME TO LOOK AT ALL OF THAT.
WE DON'T HAVE TO GET IT FROM THE BOOK THAT THEY PROVIDE US AS A CATALOG, YOU KNOW, TYPE THING.
I DO AGREE WITH GAVIN AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO JUST LIKE WHEN WE'RE AT THE MARKET AND WE'RE TELLING PEOPLE WHAT THEN, SO WE HAVE IN STUFF IT'S SO EASY TO JUST SAY THE THIRD FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A MOVIE, YOU KNOW, AND YOU KNOW, IN THE, THE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER.
AND IT'S LIKE, IT JUST MAKES THINGS A LOT EASIER.
AND HOPEFULLY THEN, YEAH, CAUSE I KNOW LAST YEAR OUR CONCERTS AND OUR MOVIES KIND OF WENT BACK AND FORTH AND YOU KNOW, ALL OF THAT AND IT WAS, IT WAS DIFFERENT.
SO YES, I WANT TO COME IN JERRY ON THE FLYERS, THEY WERE VERY NICE AND BRIGHT AND COLORFUL AND I KNOW SEVEN PASS OUT.
THOSE FLYERS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY WAS VERY HELPFUL AND I COULD COME OUT.
WELL, WE WILL GET ON THEM AND DO MORE.
WE WANT, UH, WE WANT TO GET THEM OUT EARLY, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT YOU CAN HAND OUT TO THE SCHOOL THAT HAD LIKE THE MULTIPLE, THIS IS OUR WHOLE SEASON.
THAT WAS A NICE, NICE WAY TO GO.
WE ARE FOCUSING ON THE MOVIES.
AS I SAID, THE FIVE MOVIES ARE GOING TO BE A AND BS EVENTS.
THE MUSIC IS MORE, UH, THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.
SO OF COURSE YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME TO ATTEND THOSE AND HELP JOSH, BUT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE COMBINED.
THE WATERS GOT A LITTLE MUDDY LAST YEAR.
AND SO THE MOVIES ARE, HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A BS AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FOCUSING ON.
SO, UM, WE DO WANT THE KICKOFF FIRST MOVIE TO BE AT THE EICHELBERGER BECAUSE THAT'S JUST KIND OF THE HOME OF OUR MOVIES.
SO THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE AT THE EICHELBERGER.
UM, AND OF COURSE THE LAST ONE WOULD BE AT THE ROSE, THE OCTOBER ONE BECAUSE EVERYONE DOES ENJOY THAT.
THAT'S A BIGGER EVENT WITH OTHER THINGS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME.
SO I DO THINK YOU NEED TO, UH, WE CAN TAKE A VOTE ON FOUR OR FIVE BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO HAVE THAT DETERMINED.
[01:05:02]
I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE HAVE OUR MEETING OR MOVIE NIGHTS ON THE THIRD, FRIDAY OF EACH MONTH.AND WE HAVE, UH, FIVE OF THEM.
NO, WITH IT BEING FRIDAYS, ARE WE GOING TO WORK ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT? SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER, ONE'S AT THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAMES.
I HAVEN'T GOT THINGS TO DO OTHER GOOD THINGS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A VOTE NOW ON THAT.
SO WE'RE VOTING ON FIVE MOVIES BEING ON FRIDAY, CAUSE THE LITTLE MINI VOTES FRIDAY, THIRD, FRIDAY OF THE MONTH.
UM, ALL RIGHT, MS. BRANDENBURG, I'M FOR THAT MS. DANIEL OR MR. FOX, GO WITH THE FORK.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BIG PROBLEM IN SEPTEMBER ON FIVE FIVE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH ME LOSING IT TONIGHT.
SO THAT HAS PASSED 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 TO ZERO.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FIVE MOVIES.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE ON THE THIRD FRIDAY OF THE MONTH.
THE FIRST ONE WILL BE AT THE EICHELBERGER.
WE'RE GOING TO MIX IN TWO DRIVE INS DOWN AT CLOUD PARK.
SO WITH THAT ITEM G UM, EASTER EVENT, AND I'LL GO AHEAD.
AND SO THAT'S NOT ON THE, SO THERE'S ONE MORE ITEM THAT CINDY WANTS TO BRING UP AS THE CHANGE.
UM, SO CURRENTLY, UM, THERE'S AN EASTER EVENT IDEA, UM, FOR THE CITY, THE WHOLE CITY, LIKE ALL THE HOMEOWNERS TO BE ABLE TO BE INVOLVED IN AND TO KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS.
IS IT SIMILAR TO BAKER NIGHT? SO BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE ASKING HOMEOWNERS TO DO IS, UM, TO PASS OUT CANDY ON APRIL THE 16TH FROM TWO TO FOUR FROM THEIR HOMES, UM, WHILE CHILDREN COME AROUND WITH THEIR EASTER BASKETS, UM, THEY CAN COME AROUND AND COLLECT CANDY.
IF THE HOMEOWNER HAS WANTS TO PUT IT IN EGGS, THEY CAN, IF THEY JUST WANT TO GIVE THEM A PIECE OF CANDY, THEY CAN.
THE OTHER NEAT PART OF ALL OF THIS IS THAT OUR HUBER HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT, ALONG WITH THE EASTER BUNNY WILL BE OUT BETWEEN THE HOURS OF TWO AND FOUR.
AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE PASSING OUT GOLDEN EGGS TO KIDS THAT ARE OUT WITH THEIR EASTER BASKETS.
AND THESE GOLDEN EGGS ARE GOING TO HAVE PRIZES INSIDE AND IT'LL TELL THE CHILDREN WHAT THEY WANT AND HOW TO CONTACT FOR THEIR PRIZE TO COLLECT THEM.
BUT THE BIG PRIZE IS GOING TO BE A SHOPPING EXPERIENCE AT TARGET STORE FOR SEVERAL CHILDREN TO BE ABLE TO SHOP WITH THE EASTER BUNNY AT 6:30 PM THAT EVENING.
SO THEY'LL OPEN UP THEIR EGG AND IT'LL SAY, YOU'VE JUST WON THE GOLDEN TICKET.
PLEASE MEET THE EASTER BUNNY AT TARGET.
AND, UM, THE POLICE OFFICERS WILL BE THERE ALONG WITH MAYBE A COUPLE OF FIREFIGHTERS.
WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO SEE IF THAT WILL HAPPEN AND THEY'LL HELP ESCORT THE CHILDREN TO DO THEIR PURCHASING.
UM, CURRENTLY TARGET HAS COMMITTED TO DONATING, UM, GIFT CARDS TO HELP THE KIDS SO WE CAN GIVE AS MANY AS WE CAN AWAY FOR A SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, UM, SOME FAMILIES HAVE ACTUALLY GAVE THE A HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HELP A CHILD BE ABLE TO SHOP AND THEY'RE KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT IT.
SO THIS WE'RE HOPING IS GOING TO BE AN ANNUAL EVENT IN OUR CITY.
UM, SOMETHING THAT I, I GONNA SPEAK PERSONALLY, THAT I FEEL THAT KIDS NEED, UM, BECAUSE WE ARE IN SO MUCH TRAUMA, THEY'RE IN A LOT OF TRAUMA.
THEY'RE GOING THROUGH A LOT WITH COVID AND STUFF, AND IT'S JUST ANOTHER WAY TO LOVE ON THEM AS A COMMUNITY.
SO THE IDEAS BEING BROUGHT BEFORE YOU TODAY TO ASK YOU IF A AND B WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ONE, BECAUSE YOU ALL LIVE HERE PARTICIPATING, WOULD YOU PASS OUT CANDY AND TWO, WOULD YOU SUPPORT IT BY HELPING GET THE WORD OUT? BECAUSE GETTING IT OUT IS IT'S GOING TO BE THE THING THAT WE WOULD NEED.
WE HAD A THREE WHERE WE ALSO SEE PEOPLE WHO SPONSOR THESE CARS.
UM, SO I'VE KIND OF THROWN IT OUT ON FACEBOOK.
I HAVE 85 HOUSES SIGNED UP IN SIX DAYS AND I HAVE A NURSING HOME.
IT'S LANDINGS NURSING HOME, AND THEY'RE VERY EXCITED.
THEY'RE GOING TO SET TENTS UP OUTSIDE WITH THE SENIORS AND THEY'RE MAKING CRAFTS AND CANDY FOR THE KIDS TO COME AROUND THEIR YOU
[01:10:01]
AND COLLECT FROM THEM.AND THEY HAVE PRIZES THEY'RE GIVEN OUT TO, AND THE ALLEGION AMERICAN LEGION, 200, I THINK IT IS, IS ALSO PARTICIPATING.
AND ALSO SOFTWARE GROWTH CHURCH IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT PARTICIPATING.
SO IT'S GROWING AND ENTHUSIASM, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT NOT THE MONTH.
SO I DON'T WANT IT TO BE LIKE MY NONPROFITS IDEA.
I WOULD RATHER, IT WAS ALL OF OUR IDEA AND IT BELONGED TO ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION.
SO THAT COULD GROW AND BE SOMETHING OF VALUE FOR OUR CITY.
YOU SEE WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY? I THINK THAT'S GOOD.
WE NEED TO ADVERTISE THEM BACKWARDS, UH, GREATLY BECAUSE IT'S SO NEW.
HALLOWEEN IS ALWAYS PRETTY MUCH COLD OUT AND IT GETS DARK EARLY AND NO, IT'S FUNNY.
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING.
ESPECIALLY A LOT OF ELDERLY AND DISABLED BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DO IT IN THE FALL, BUT THEY REALLY WANT TO SEE THE KIDS JUST SIT OUTSIDE AND YOU DIDN'T MAKE, IT WAS THE DATE AGAIN.
TWO TO FOUR IS THE DAY OF THANK YOU.
YOU DIDN'T MENTION THAT THE ISA WAY WOULD BE A TARGET AT SIX 30.
THEN WHERE WOULD THE EASTER BUNNY BE EARLIER THAT DAY ON THIS? SO HE'S GOING TO BE LIKE GOING AROUND THE CITY WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, MAYBE IN A CRUISER OR SOMETHING, AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE PASSING OUT RANDOM, GOLDEN EGGS TO KIDS AS THEY SEE THEM AND, AND MAKE THAT CONNECTION.
AND THOSE ARE THE WINNING EGGS WITH THE INVITATION, FOR THE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.
SO, AND IF YOU DONATE A HUNDRED DOLLARS AND YOU WANT TO BE THAT SHOPPING DESIGNATION, DESIGNATED PERSON TO HELP A CHILD SHOP, YOU CAN DO THAT.
SO THAT IS SOMETHING ALSO THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE CAN COME UP AND, AND HELP THE KID SHOP WITH THE WHAT ARE THEY SHOPPING? A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE SHOPPING WITH A CUP TOO, IF YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD OF THAT IN YEARS PAST, AND WHAT THEY SHOP FOR IS BASICALLY ANYTHING THEY WANT JEREMY, UM, THE PERSON THAT'S WITH THEM HELPS THEM KEEP THE BUDGET AND THE NUMBERS AND WHAT THEY SPENT.
UM, I COULD ACTUALLY HAVE LIKE A SPONSORSHIP NAME THAT COULD BE THE WILSON FAMILY SHOPPING.
OR THEY CAN DONATE THE FUNDS TOWARDS ONE OF THE POLICE OFFICERS THAT ARE VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME, BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL VOLUNTEERING TO BE THERE AND HELP THE KIDS SHOP TOO.
SO IT'S A CONNECTION WITH OUR CITY STAFF OF FIREARM POLICE AND THE BUNNY.
AND OBVIOUSLY LENNY CAN'T SHOP WITH EVERY KID AND HE CAN'T SPEAK AND HE CAN'T USE HIS HANDS, BUT HE'S THERE FOR THE PHOTO.
OP AND TARGET WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT DOING, HAVING EVERYBODY THERE, THE OTHER BUSINESSES THAT MIGHT WANT TO GET IT ON THAT, YOU KNOW, LIKE, UM, DONALD'S MAKE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE OR, YOU KNOW, UH, HEIGHTS, CAFE SHOPPING.
IT'S, IT'S ENDLESS REALLY GREG CAUSE IT'S A NEW IDEA.
AND I JUST, LIKE I SAID, THE WHOLE IDEA AND THE WHOLE CONCEPT IS BRINGING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER AGAIN, YOU KNOW, FOR SOMETHING IN THE SPRING THAT HOMEOWNERS CAN DO.
CAUSE YOU CAN HAVE AN EASTER EGG HUNT, YOU KNOW THAT WE COULD DO THAT AND IT'S OVER IN AN HOUR, BUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS GOING TO IMPACT BIGGER BECAUSE EVERYBODY AND ANYBODY CAN BE A PART OF IT IN THE CITY.
BUT THEN ADDITIONAL TO THAT, THAT CHILD'S GOING TO CREATE A MEMORY.
THOSE KIDS ARE GOING TO HAVE A MEMORY.
MY CITY DID THIS AND THEY'RE THE FIRST CAUSE.
IT'S THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX AND NO OTHER CITY HAS EVER DONE THIS ASKING YOU IF YOU ARE INTERESTED FIRST, I HAVE TO KNOW, BECAUSE COUNCIL WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED IN THIS BEING YOUR EVENT, YOU DO.
WE BECOME INVOLVED WITH THAT AS ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION, SHE'S FAST AND IT'S HELPING IN THE HEIGHTS.
RIGHT? I LIKE, OH, IT'S CALLED HOPPIN IN THE HEIGHTS.
IT'S EXTRAVAGANZA OFTEN IN THE HEIGHTS, GGS AGGS STRAVAGANZA LIKE THAT OPEN IN THE HEIGHTS.
SO A MOTION HAS BEEN MADE THAT A AND B IS GOING TO TAKE THIS ON AS A, UH, EVENT.
UM, YOU HAVE A LOT OF IT LINED OUT AND PLANNED OUT.
SO WE'LL NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY IS ON.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN WRITING? THIS JUST ALL COMES.
SO IF WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE FORMAL SO THAT WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING, GREG'S MADE THE MOTION GLEN'S MADE THE SECOND.
UM, SO NOW WE'RE GONNA VOTE CHERYL? YES.
[01:15:01]
OH, I THINK THESE KIDS ARE GONNA LOVE IT AND THEY GET TO BE KIDS, YOU KNOW? THAT'S SO FUN TO BE KIDS.SO BESIDES THE FACEBOOK POSTS THAT YOU'VE MADE, YOU DON'T HAVE LIKE FLYER OR ANYTHING YET.
YOU GOT MY AGE OR MY SIX OR WHATEVER IT IS.
OH, SINCE THIS IS GOING TO BE A FIRST FOR YOU BASICALLY ENTIRE SOUTHWESTERN OHIO AREA, WE REALLY NEED TO PUSH TOWARDS, UH, GETTING THE MEDIA INVOLVED IN THIS.
AND THE OTHER CITIES DON'T HOP ON BOARD TEND TO BE A LOT MORE POPULAR THAN JUSTIN HUBER HEIGHTS.
SO WE NEED TO BE READY FOR EVEN, YOU KNOW, WHICH ISN'T BAD, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE, CAN WE REACH OUT TO OTHER CITIES, AT LEAST THE ONES 10 GENTLE WORK TOUCHING US, DO WE REALLY WANT TO? AND IT'S OUR THING AND LET THEM KNOW.
I KNOW CARRIAGE CHARLES ARE TALKING TO ALL THEIR, THEIR WHOLE HOA UP THERE TO GET THEM INVOLVED.
AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE.
IT SAYS TO GET THE WORD OUT, GET THE WORD OUT SO WE KNOW THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
SO, UM, ANYTHING ELSE ON THE EASTER EVENT, ANYBODY FOR NOW? OKAY.
UM, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO ANY ADDITIONAL BUSINESS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS WOULD BE OUR APPROVAL OF MEETING SCHEDULE, WHICH IS, SO THAT IS ON YOUR DESK OR ON THE, IN FRONT OF YOU ENGENDER THE SCHEDULE AND ANOTHER PIECE THAT'S BEHIND HERE.
SO THOSE ARE THE DATES OF YOUR MEETINGS.
SO WE'LL NEED, UH, YOU TO REVIEW, UM, LOOKING PLEASE AT THIS YEAR'S CALENDAR OF EVENTS, REMINDING YOU THAT FEBRUARY IS A WEDNESDAY AGAIN, THE 16TH BEING OUR MEETING, AND THEN WE WILL FALL BACK TO MONDAYS AFTER THAT.
AND SO I NEED A MOTION, PLEASE, IF YOU ALL AGREE TO ACCEPT THESE DATES FOR OUR MEETING FOR THE MONTH OR FOR THE YEAR OF 2022.
AND THEN NEXT WE HAVE ELECTION OF OFFICERS, UM, FOR JANUARY 20, 22, ENDING JANUARY, 2023.
AND AT THIS TIME I WILL GO AHEAD AND ASK JERRY IF SHE WILL HELP ME, UM, BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED WITH THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO WHERE YOU HAVE TWO OFFICERS FOR YOU AND CALLING THAT A CHAIR AND A VICE CHAIR.
SO, UM, THOSE ARE FOR THE YEAR, UM, THE CHAIR RUNS THE MEETING.
IF FOR SOME REASON THEY CANNOT, THE VICE CHAIR WOULD STEP IN AND DO THAT.
UM, THE CHAIR WOULD REPRESENT THE COMMISSION AT A COUNCIL MEETING IF NEEDED.
IF THE CHAIR COULDN'T DO IT, THE VICE WOULD STEP IN AND DO THAT.
UM, SO AT THIS TIME WE'RE GOING TO, UH, TAKE ANY MOTIONS FOR NOMINATIONS.
I MAKE A MOTION TO NOMINATE SIDNEY DAVIDSON TO REPEAT AND REPRICE HER ROLE AS THE CHAIR.
KEVIN AND GREG HAVE MOTION FOR CINDY TO REMAIN THE CHAIR.
THANK YOU, MS. BRANDENBURG? YES.
CINDY WILL BE THE CHAIR AGAIN THIS FOLLOWING YEAR.
SO NOW IT IS OPEN FOR NOMINATIONS FOR VICE I'D LIKE TO NOMINATE SHANNON TEAK IS THE LICE FOR NBC.
I DIDN'T ASK YOU IF YOU ACCEPTED IT.
SO FOR THE BIAS, WE, UH, GAVIN HAS NOMINATED SHANNON.
GREG HAS SECONDED AND WE'LL VOTE FOR THAT, MS. BRANDENBURG? YES.
[01:20:01]
MS. SHELTON.SHANNON J EXCEPT THE VICE CHAIR.
UM, AM I ALLOWED TO SAY SOMETHING FOR JUST BECAUSE THANK YOU GUYS.
UM, FOR TRUSTING ME TO BE CHAIR, I I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT THIS YEAR.
AND I, I THOUGHT ABOUT THINGS I SHOULD HAVE DONE BETTER LAST YEAR, AND THERE'S ALWAYS THINGS YOU CAN DO TO IMPROVE.
AND, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS I, I, THAT STUCK OUT IN MY HEAD THAT I DIDN'T DO, I FEEL NEEDS TO BE DONE IS THAT I NEED TO ATTEND COUNCIL MEETINGS AND GIVE THEM UPDATES ON WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE.
SO THEY KNOW MORE, UM, BECAUSE I KNOW THEY'RE BUSY AND THERE'S LOTS OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.
SO I, I WANT TO BE OBLIGATED TO DOING THAT AT LEAST EVERY QUARTER, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE, THEY KNOW AND THEY'RE SUPPORTIVE AND THAT WE CAN GET THE WORD OUT BETTER, UM, TO TRANSPARENT.
AND HE SAID THAT THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE TWICE A YEAR, TWICE, EVERY SIX MONTHS.
SO TWICE A YEAR COME AND GIVE THEM AN UPDATE.
UM, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S KIND OF VALUABLE.
AND THEN OTHER THINGS, YOU KNOW, I'M OPEN FOR SUGGESTIONS TOO GUYS, BECAUSE WE'RE A TEAM, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING BY YOURSELF.
AND I THANK EVERYBODY FOR WHAT THEY DID LAST YEAR.
AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN ME.
UM, MAY I ADD A WRITER TO THEM? IT HAS BEEN A DISTINCT HONOR TO BE ABLE TO SERVE AS VICE CHAIR.
UM, MOST OF US ON THIS PANEL HAVE HAD SOME MEDICAL CHALLENGES THIS YEAR.
I MEAN, I GOT THE SHOT, THE SHOT DIDN'T CAUSE IT, BUT THE STRESSES OF GETTING THE SHOT AND THE ALLERGIC REACTION, CAUSE I HAD HEART ISSUES.
AND SO I, WE ALL UNDERSTAND AND WE'RE VERY THANKFUL.
YOU WERE TO AGREE TO TAKE IT ON AGAIN, STAY HEALTHY, STAY HEALTHY.
I HAD THREE STROKES, UNFORTUNATELY IN A YEAR AND A HALF.
UM, SO WITH THAT, UM, JERRY, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD DISCUSS ABOUT APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET? OKAY.
ITEM C UM, JERRY, WHO YOU HELPED ME WITH 20, 21 BUDGET.
SO THIS IS, UM, 2021 BUDGET HAS BEEN CLOSED OUT.
ALL THE EXPENSES WERE LISTED ON HERE.
SO AS YOU SEE, WE CAME IN UNDER BUDGET, WHICH IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING.
IT HAS A HOLE WHERE IT SAYS MUSIC THAT'S CAUSE I WASN'T OURS.
THAT WAS NOT, UH, ANY REQUIREMENT FROM A AND B TO PAY.
UM, SO WHEN YOU SAY MUSIC, THAT IS JUST FOR THE CONCERT SERIES, UH, THAT'S MUSIC AT THE FOURTH THAT'S MUSIC AT THE MARIGOLD.
WE PAID NO MUSIC, NONE OF THE BANDS YOU SEE, WE DID PAY THE, UM, SOUND FOR THE STAR SPANGLED HEIGHTS.
AND WE PAID FOR THE SOUND AT THE MARIGOLD, BUT WE DID PAY FOR ANY BANDS.
CAN I, MAY I PLEASE ASK SOMETHING? IT'S KIND OF GOING BACK, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT.
UM, THE COMPANY THAT WE HIRED DIDN'T DO SO GREAT.
A FEW TIMES FOR FOUR MOVIE NIGHTS, I KNOW GREG HAD TO HELP THEM MULTIPLE TIMES GET THEIR SCREENS UP ONE TIME, THEY FORGOT THEIR SOUND SYSTEM, YOUR LOST MOVIES, THEY FORGOT MOVIES.
THE LAST ONE WHERE THEY, THE SOUND EQUIPMENT WASN'T AVAILABLE.
THEY DID DISCOUNT US THE AMOUNT OF, I THINK THEY GET, I THINK THEY GAVE US 50% OFF.
SO THEY DID DISCOUNT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT WE ARE TO PROVIDE THE MOVIES.
UM, THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY ABOUT MEETING HELP IS I KNOW THEY, THEY SEND ONE PERSON AND IF IT IS EXTREMELY WINDY, YES, THEY DO REQUIRE SOME HELP.
SO THE COMPANY THAT WE USE, UM, FOR STAFF POINT, WE'RE PRETTY HAPPY WITH THEM.
I GOT MY CARDIO IN THAT NIGHT.
WE DO NEED TO REINFORCE AT LEAST MAKE SURE YOU GOT IT ALL TOGETHER.
AND WHEN IT HAPPENED LIKE THAT, WE WERE IN CONTACT WITH THEM IMMEDIATELY AND THEY GENEROUSLY QUICKLY SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE GOING TO DISCOUNT IT.
IT WASN'T, UH, I DIDN'T HAVE TO BEG FOR THAT OR ANYTHING.
IT JUST, AND THEY WERE AWARE IN THE HOME OFFICE.
SO THE PERSON, THE TECHNICIAN HAD ALREADY RELAYED ALL OF THAT TO THEM.
AND AGAIN, I THINK SOMETIMES A LOT OF THE BEHIND THE SCENES, THINGS THAT HAPPEN, THE RESIDENTS DON'T SEE THAT.
AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT, IT'S NOT, NOT TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, GHOST OR ALIENS WAY.
[01:25:01]
THAT WAS THE 20, 21 BUDGET.SO ANYTHING, ANY QUESTIONS ON THE YES.
SO YOU SEE HERE WE'RE PARADE AWARDS.
I MEAN, WHAT IS IT? A HUNDRED BUCKS PER RECIPIENT.
THEY WERE A HUNDRED DOLLARS A PIECE.
IS IT SOMETHING, SHOULD WE SEEK SPONSORSHIP TO TRY TO ALWAYS GET THAT UP THERE? WE'VE ALWAYS ASKED FOR A, YOU GUYS TO ASK FOR SPONSORS OR DONATIONS OR HOWEVER YOU WANT TO DO THAT.
UM, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT UNABLE TO PAY FOR THESE THINGS, BUT IF SOMEONE WANTS TO SPONSOR IT, THAT'S FINE.
ALSO AT ONE TIME WHEN WE HAD A FLORIST HERE IN HUBER, THEY DONATED THE, I MEAN, FOR EXAMPLE, I MADE, COULD WE GO GET THE WALMART SUPER SAVER AWARD? JANET, WOULD THE CITY BE OPEN TO THE ARABLE AWARD THOUGH? RIGHT.
WELL, I'VE MADE, IF THEY'RE WILLING TO THROW A THOUSAND AT IT, I MEAN, I'M WILLING TO LET THEM CALL IT WHATEVER THEY WANT.
I MEAN, IF, IF THE CITY WOULD BE OPEN TO THAT, WE'LL CALL IT THAT.
I MEAN, I THINK THAT, I THINK WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY SUITABLE.
I THINK THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S A PARADE, THEY GET A REEF THAT IS PUT ON THEIR FLOAT OR THAT LOOKS REALLY NICE.
I THINK IT'S BEEN, THE ODDS ARE, IF WE HIT A BIGGER PRIZE AT WHERE WE MIGHT ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO PUT IN MORE OF AN ACTUAL FLOAT, I MEAN, WE DID GET SOME IN THERE, BUT WELL, WE'RE NOT REALLY GIVING PRIZES.
IT'S JUST, UM, AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, RIGHT.
MACY'S DAY LEVEL FLOATS, BUT I DON'T SEE IT COMING.
SO IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE ON THE BUDGET? ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? SO WITH THAT, IF YOU WILL LOOK AT YOUR MEETING MINUTES, UM, PLAY MORE WHEN I EMAILED THEM TO YOU LAST WEEK, I NEED YOU TO LOOK AT THAT'S.
WHEN I LOOKED, I DID LOOK AT HIM THEN, ALL RIGHT, SO WITHOUT OBJECTION, CAN WE HAVE APPROVAL OF OUR NOVEMBER 15TH, 20, 21 MEETING MINUTES, PLEASE.
SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE FEBRUARY THE 16TH.
AND I WILL PLEASE CALL THIS MEETING ADJOURNED TO ADD.
SO THE, UM, ITEMS BEING ADDED TO THE AGENDA, WE DON'T EVER MIND THAT I'M TALKING HERE TONIGHT.
WE'RE GOING TO ADD THAT GROUP COMING TO NEXT MONTH'S MEETING.
WE DON'T EVER MIND ADDING SOMETHING, BUT JUST BE AWARE THAT ONCE THAT AGENDA IS OUT AND PUBLISHED, IT CHANGES.
SO YOU NEED TO GET THEM TO ME A LITTLE SOONER.
YOU KNOW, SHE LOOKS AT ME WHEN SHE SAYS I INCURRED HER WRATH ENOUGH TIMES LAST YEAR, SO PERFECT.
I DECLARE OUR MEETING ADJOURNED.
I NEED TO TURN EVERYTHING OFF.
