HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GOOD HOLIDAY AND IS READY TO GET THE NEW YEAR STARTED OFF.
UM, SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET THE MEETING STARTED.
ARE THERE ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS TODAY? ALL RIGHT.
UH, I DON'T REMEMBER FIVE OLD BUSINESS, UH, PARK MANAGERS UPDATE.
SO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO, UM, CHRIS, CAN YOU GO FIRST BECAUSE I HAVE AN EMAIL HERE FROM JOSH, WHICH ALSO INCLUDES SOME OF THESE OTHER ITEMS AFTER YOURS? SURE.
UM, DON'T HAVE A LOT, UM, FROM A RENTAL STANDPOINT, UM, SHELTERS ARE BEING RENTED.
UM, ALCOHOL PERMITS ARE BEING SOLD, SO THAT'S UP AND RUNNING, UM, USER GROUP WISE, UM, VALLEY VIEW TENNIS.
UM, THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD SOME CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT.

UM, CAROL ALSO REQUESTED A SPECIFIC SATURDAY FOR A TENNIS MATCH THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD.
AND THEN CLUB OHIO HAS RESERVED THEIR THREE FIELDS AT THE FRONT OF CLOUD ALREADY FOR THE SPRING TIMEFRAME.
UM, HAVEN'T HEARD REALLY FROM ANYBODY ELSE YET, BUT IT'S STILL EARLY IN JANUARY.
SO AS WE MOVE THROUGH, UM, I DID UPDATE THE, UM, DOCUMENT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE FEE FOR THE CONCESSION STANDS.
SO THAT'LL GO OUT TO ALL NEW USER GROUPS AS WELL THAT YOU GUYS APPROVED IN DECEMBER.
UM, I'LL HAVE TO GET WITH, UM, SOFTBALL, BASEBALL, UM, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A COPY OF THE SIGNED, UM, LONG-TERM LEASE THAT THEY DID, UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY SIGNED IT.
SO I NEED TO GET A COPY OF THAT AND IT GET SOME DOCUMENTATION FROM THEM FOR THE YEAR AS WELL.
SO, UH, GIRLS' SOFTBALL IS NORMALLY TOWARDS THE END OF MARCH IS WHEN I, WHEN THEY NORMALLY START, UM, BASEBALL TRADITIONALLY WAS, UM, APRIL, MIDDLE OF APRIL AND BASEBALL WOULD NORMALLY ALSO RESERVE FIELDS AT, UM, SHELL GATE MONITA.
AND THEY WOULD ALSO, I THINK AT THE BEGINNING, USE A COUPLE OF FIELDS AT COTTONWOOD JUST TILL THEY GOT GAME STARTED.
UM, AND THEN THEY WOULD JUST PLAY GAMES DOWN AT CLOUD.
SO, UM, AS FOR THE AQUATIC CENTER, UM, WE HAVEN'T DONE A WHOLE LOT YET.
UM, WE'RE STARTING TO RECRUIT LIFEGUARDS AND STAFF FOR THE SUMMER.
UM, WE WILL HAVE, UM, WE PICK THE COLORS FOR THE WATERSLIDE THEY'LL REMAIN THE SAME WHEN THEY GET REPAINTED IN MAY.
SO THERE'LL BE BLUE AND WHITE.
UM, WE TALKED TO A CONTRACTOR ABOUT ONE OF THE THINGS IN THE, UM, THE BUDGET.
THE CITY GAVE US THROUGH THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR SOME WORK IN THE CONCESSION STAND.
UM, SO THERE, WE HAD A CONTRACTOR OUT TODAY TO GIVE US A BIT ON THAT.
UM, SO THANKS FOR STARTING TO MOVE, BUT, UM, MOST OF THE WORK WILL START IN APRIL AS IT COMES.
UM, THE OTHER THING RELATED TO THE AQUATIC CENTER THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS THE FEES THAT WE CHARGE.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE WERE DOING A COMPARISON WITH TIP, UH, KETTERING AND THERE'S ONE OTHER FACILITY.
UM, MAYBE TROY LOOKING TO SEE HOW WE COMPARE PRICING WISE, BOTH FOR DAILY RATES AND MEMBERSHIPS.
UM, SO I'LL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO, UM, JOSH AND BRIAN, UM, AND JIM BELL BY TOMORROW.
UM, AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT AND THEN IT'LL GO BEFORE COUNCIL BEFORE APPROVAL.
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR COSTS AT THE Y CONTINUE TO GO UP FROM BOTH EMPLOYMENT COSTS AND RAW GOOD COST.
I MEAN, THE PRICE OF CHLORINE, YOU KNOW, I THINK IS GOING UP 53 CENTS PER GALLON, YOU KNOW, THIS YEAR WE ALREADY KNOW THAT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
SO, UM, WE'VE GOT TO LOOK AT SOME OF THAT, BUT ONE THING THAT I HOPE WE, I THINK WE WILL DO IS WE HAD THOSE SPECIFIC DAYS FOR RESIDENTS AND MEMBERS ONLY, I BELIEVE THAT THOSE WILL STAY SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE AMENITIES UP AT THE KROGER AQUATIC CENTER.
SO ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS? ALL RIGHT.

UM, YEAH, PLEASE SHARE THIS EMAIL BECAUSE HE THINKS IT WILL MEET OUR DESIRE AND WHAT OUR INTENT HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS TO DO A CONTEST OF SOME SORTS, UH, IN THE FUTURE.
SO, BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S GONNA COST OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT JUST YET.
SO WE, HE WAS EITHER EMAIL AND I EMAILED THIS TO YOU ALL ABOUT 10 MINUTES AGO.
UH, WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM BRIAN SEEING, UH, HE WORKS WITH ALL COMMUNITY BINS AND THE JACK-O-LANTERN WORLD, JACQUELINE WORLD IS A FAMILY FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN AND FALL.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOSH HE'S NOT HERE? SO, UM, VANDALISM DOWN AT THE PARK WITH THAT PLAYGROUND, IS THERE BEEN ANY DISCUSSION, DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING? UM, I KNOW THAT THE, UM, INDIVIDUALS THAT, UM, WE'RE, I GUESS, ARRESTED FOR THE ARSON, UM, THEY DID GO BEFORE JUVENILE COURT.
I KNOW THERE WAS SOME DOCUMENTATION THAT GOT SENT TO ME AT THE Y UM, THAT I BROUGHT OVER TO JOSH, UM, BASICALLY STATEMENTS ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED IN DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT AND VALUE.
UM, SO HE WAS WORKING ON THAT AND THEN, UM, THEY WERE STILL, UM, DISCUSSING, CAUSE HE'S BEEN OUT THE FIRST COUPLE OF MEETS CITY STAFF MEETINGS ON TUESDAY.
SO THE LAST STAFF MEETING THAT HE WAS AT, UM, HE HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT THEY WERE STILL TALKING WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT REIMBURSEMENT WOULD LOOK LIKE.
SO I DON'T HAVE THE ACTUAL FINAL NUMBER, BUT I KNOW THAT THERE WAS IN PROCESS.
AND THEN, UM, I THINK FOR DAMAGES, THERE WERE SOME RESTITUTION COSTS THAT THE JUVENILES WOULD BE LIABLE FOR REQUIRED TO PAY WASN'T AN EXORBITANT NUMBER, BUT IT WAS SOMETHING, SO THEY WERE STILL WORKING ON THAT.

SO, UM, SO WE'LL START SEEING SOME OF THAT AS WELL.
UM, THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE IS THE COMMUNITY CENTER, UM, UH, WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ALL ABOUT THE COMMUNITY SIMS TODAY, BUT JOSH ISN'T HERE.
UM, I WANT TO, UM, MY PLAN FOR NEXT, FOR THE NEXT MEETING WAS TO HAVE IT AT, UM, AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER NEXT MEETING, IF I WERE GOING TO CANCEL THAT AND HAVE THE MEETING HERE, UM, MAINLY BECAUSE, UM, THINGS THAT WE NEED AREN'T THERE JUST YET.
UM, SO WE'LL HAVE OUR NORMAL MEETING HERE NEXT MONTH.
NO, NO, IT WILL BE A TOPIC, BUT THE MEETING THAT I HAD PLANNED FOR NEXT MONTH WILL BE HERE.
NEW BUSINESS MEETING SCHEDULE.
SO, UM, FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, UM, WE HAVE MET MONTHLY.
AND SO WHAT I WANTED TO WAS SIT DOWN AND TALK TO YOU ALL ON THE CPU.
ALL IS STILL GOOD WITH A MONTHLY SCHEDULE, OR IF YOU WOULD PREFER TO SHIFT IT TO EVERY OTHER MONTH AS NEEDED QUARTERLY.
UM, SO I WANTED TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION WITH YOU ALL TODAY.
I KNOW THAT WE, UM, WE PROVIDED YOU WITH DATES, UM, CURRENTLY FOR EVERY THIRD, THURSDAY OF THE MONTH AT SIX 30, BUT OF COURSE WE STILL HAVE THE OPTION TO ADJUST OUR SCHEDULE.

PATRICK'S DAY, BUT IT'S MARCH MADNESS.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG ONE, BUT I, I THINK, I THINK JULY IS SAFE.
IT'S USUALLY JULY AND DECEMBER IS ALWAYS THERE.
IF HE WANTS, LIKE, YEAH, I THINK MONTHLY IS FINE.
UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT I'D WANT TO GO QUARTERLY.
IT FEELS LIKE TOO FAR, FAR APART.
UM, IF WE WERE TO CHANGE, I WOULD SAY EVERY OTHER MONTH, BUT I THINK MONTHLY IS PROBABLY FINE.
MONTHLY, I THINK MUM IS THE BEST BECAUSE BETWEEN APRIL AND SEPTEMBER, DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, THERE ARE A LOT, IT'S A LOT OF ACTIVITY GOING ON.
I THINK WE THOUGHT DURING THE ERA OF THE MONTH, DURING THAT PERIOD OF THE YEAR, YOU MISS A LOT OF THE EVENTS THAT YOU NEED TO BE DISCUSSING HERE.
SO I'M IN FAVOR OF KEEPING IT AS A MONTHLY EVENT.
I THINK YOU LOSE A LITTLE BIT OF STEAM ON SOME THINGS, IF YOU, IF YOU'RE NOT QUARTERLY, I THINK WOULD BE A, IT'D BE A DEAL BREAKER, I THINK FOR A LOT OF THINGS, BUT IF PUSH COME TO SHOVE EVERY OTHER MONTH, BUT I I'M OKAY WITH MONTHLY OKAY.
WOULD YOU ALL LIKE TO JUST GET IT'S ST.
PATRICK'S DAY AND IT'S USUALLY THE FIRST BE THE FIRST ROUND SECOND ROUND AND IT'S, OH, THAT'D BE FIRST SECTOR AT THE THIRSTY, I THINK THE FIRST AND SECOND ROUND.
SO THE FIRST FOUR WILL BE DONE HERE.
SO FOR THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY LIKE BASKETBALL, YOU KNOW, SO WHAT WE'LL HAVE, WHAT WE'LL HAVE TO DO IS WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK AND PROPOSE A COUPLE OF TIMES TO MAKE SURE YOUR SCHEDULES WORK AND THEN, UM, DOES THE CITY BUILDING IS, UM, BUT THEN ALSO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT, WHICH I KNOW FOR SURE WILL BE APRIL WITHIN OUR CLEANUP, WHEN
[00:15:01]
