[ AGENDA PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road February 17, 2022 6:30 P.M.]
RICK, GO AHEAD AND GET THE MEETING STARTED.BRIAN DADDY, CHRISTOPHER HALL HERE.
BLAKE HURSTON, GWEN POTTINGER SIDNEY SMITH, DENNIS SNYDER.
I'M GLAD YOUR OPENING REMARKS.
UM, I DON'T HAVE ANY TODAY, SO WE'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED CITIZEN COMMENTS.
ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM HERE.
OLD BUSINESS PARK PARK MANAGER UPDATE.
UH, DID YOU PASS DOWN THOSE? SO CAN YOU PASS THAT MUD DOWN THAT WAY? YES.
SO THAT'S THE NEW PLAYGROUND FOR COMMUNITY PARK WOULD COVER BOTH THOSE AT THE SAME TIME.
UM, YESTERDAY, ONCE WE FINALIZED THE TOLERANCE, WE DECIDED TO GO WITH A, UH, WAYNE LAWYERS COLOR SCHEME THERE, UH, THE RED AND THE BLACK.
YEAH, WHICH NORMALLY ON A PLAYGROUND DOESN'T LOOK TOO GOOD, BUT IT, WITH THIS COLOR COMBINATION, IT TURNED OUT PRETTY WELL.
UM, SO THAT'LL HAVE A LITTLE AREA OF HER UNDERNEATH THE SWING.
AND THERE'S ALSO WHERE THAT, UH, YOU SEE THAT LITTLE THREE PIECE KIND OF LEARNING WALLACE, THE TURTLE EXTEND AROUND THAT AS WELL.
UM, THE REST OF IT WILL BE LOOSE, FILL RUBBER.
UM, THE WHEELCHAIR SWING WILL NOT BE PUT IN RIGHT AWAY, UH, CAUSE UH, I GOTTA DO, YOU KNOW, FROM THE CHRISTOPHER REEVES FOUNDATION, THEIR BRAND CYCLE WAS OPENING AND, UH, WE CAN GET A $25,000 GRANT TO COVER MOST OF THE COSTS FOR THAT SLIM.
SO I, ONCE I GET A DETERMINATION ON THAT, THEN WE'LL ORDER THE SWING.
UH, THE REST OF THE STRUCTURE WILL BE UP AND USABLE HOPEFULLY.
UM, BY MIDDLE, THE END OF MAY, THAT'S IN TWO COMPONENTS WHO, WHO HAVE INSTALLED IT.
THE SECOND PART OF THAT SAME IT IS THERE.
SO IT'LL BE, UM, LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE.
THEY HAVE LOCAL CONTRACTORS THAT THEY USE.
AND SO THE INSTALLATION PRICE ALREADY INCLUDES THE INSTALLATION OF THAT SWING.
UH, SO WE'LL JUST PAY PART OF THE INSTALLATION ONE TIME AND THEN THE REST OF IT, YOU KNOW, LATER ON.
SO, UM, I THINK THE ONLY DIFFERENCE DOING IT THAT WAY WAS ABOUT $300 DIFFERENCE IN FREE.
SO IT WAS LIKE, WELL, WE CAN, WE SAVE TWENTY-FIVE GRAND AND SPEND AN EXTRA 300, I THINK WE'LL DO THAT.
AND THEN IF WE DON'T GET THE GRANT, THEN JUST GO AHEAD AND WORK.
AND EITHER WAY, WHILE WE GET YOUR GRANDMA WHEELCHAIRS FOR WHEN WE'LL BE GOING IN, UM, IT'LL BE THE FIFTH, ONE OF THOSE SWINGS IN THE STATE.
UM, THEY'RE SLOWLY STARTING APOLLO NOW THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY APPROVED FOR PUBLIC USE.
UM, AND THEN THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR THAT'S ON THERE AS A BRANDED STRUCTURE THEY HAVE IS YOUR, THAT NOBODY'S ORDERED IT YET.
WE, THE FIRST ONE, THEY'RE A BETA TEST FOR THAT.
UM, I ORDER PLAYGROUNDS ALSO THE ORDER, UH, THIS SHOULD BE IN, WE SHOULD SEE SOME, UH, HOPEFULLY SOME GRASS BEING STRIPPED OFF TO THAT SITE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT THE WEATHER DOES.
THE ROAD GUYS MAY GO THERE AND GET THAT PLACE, PREP.
THAT ONE WILL BE ALL ENTIRELY ASTROTURF, JUST SO THERE'S NO MAINTENANCE ON FOR A GOOD 15 YEARS, AT LEAST ON THE SERVICING SIDE OF IT.
UM, THAT'S JUST GOING TO BE A SIMPLE STRUCTURE, UH, AND ENDED THE PICTURE BACK TO THAT ONE, CORRECT COLORS ONCE WE GET IT, UH, WE'LL GET AN EMAIL OUT THERE BY SIX G AS WELL.
UM, SMALL STRUCTURE JUST THAT, YOU KNOW, SLOP SLIDES FLYING AND STUFF, A LITTLE NET CLIMBER, UM, OF USABLE THREE PIECE MUSIC WALL, UH, KIND OF ON THE END OF THAT.
SO NOTHING TOO EXTRAVAGANT, BUT ENOUGH TO KEEP KIDS OCCUPIED OR A PARTNER MARKET OR MUSIC NIGHT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, OH, THE, UH, PLANTING FOR THE POLLINATOR PASTURES, UM, SHE SENT OVER THE INVOICE FOR THAT TODAY.
SO DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU HIT A MARCH AND MAY, THEY WILL GET IN TO DO THOSE PLANTING, THAT'D BE PRETTY DRY FOR THE PRETTY BIG TRACTOR THAT THEY'RE BRINGING IN FOR THAT.
SO DON'T WANT TO RUN UP TO THAT WITH THAT, THE LOUD SEVEN ACRES OF RED ROCK PARK, AND THEN ROUGHLY THREE ACRES AT CLOUD THAT WILL BE ALL.
AND I GOT A QUOTE FOR THE ASPHALT, UH, WITH THE PRICING OF IT.
[00:05:01]
DO IT, IT'LL HAVE TO GO OUT FOR BID AS WELL, OVER 60 GRAND, JUST FOR THE ASPHALT PORTION.UM, I DID FIND ONE COMPANY TO DO THE PAINT, THE STRIPE THAT THEY WANT TO PAINT THE ENTIRE PORT.
THEY WON'T JUST COME IN AND PAINT LINE.
THEY WANT TO PAINT THE WHOLE THING, WHICH I REALLY DON'T WANT TO PAINT THE WHOLE THING.
THAT'S JUST WHERE HE GOT ANY PAIN.
UM, SO I'M TRYING TO GET HIM CONVINCED TO JUST BE LYING OR FIND SOMEONE ELSE WHO WILL DO THAT FOR US.
UM, BUT, UH, THE, THE OTHER COST OF THAT WOULD BE, UM, THE ASPHALT COMPANY DOESN'T DO IT, BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD HIRE A SUBCONTRACTOR TO INSTALL THE GOALS AND STUFF.
CAUSE PART OF THAT HAS TO BE DONE WHILE THEY'RE ON AN ASPHALT.
OTHERWISE YOU GOT TO CUT THE ASPHALT.
SO, UM, SO THAT'S THE OTHER COMPONENT OF IT.
BUT ONCE WE FIGURE OUT HOW I'M GOING TO DO THAT AND TRYING TO LOOK FOR GRANTS FOR THAT AS WELL, THERE AREN'T TOO MANY OUT THERE FOR OUTDOOR BASKETBALL.
UM, BUT ONCE WE GET THAT SQUARED AWAY, THEN IT'LL DEFINITELY BE PUT IN THE BUDGET FOR SURE FOR NEXT YEAR.
IF WE CAN'T FIND A REPORT THIS YEAR THAT'LL BE TO, UH, COLLEGE SIZE.
UH, SO I THINK I HAD IT MAPPED OUT AT 50 WIDE BY 94 LONG.
SO THE WHOLE PAD WOULD BE A PIGMENT, THE WHOLE PAD AT A HUNDRED BY 120.
SO IT GAVE US THREE FOOT ALL THE WAY AROUND AND 14 FEET BETWEEN THE COURTS, UH, FOR SPACE.
AND I MEAN, THEY CAN EITHER BE PUT SIDE BY SIDE OR SNAP OR JUST DEPENDING ON, UH, WHAT, WHEN THEY COME IN AND START DIGGING FOR THE PAD, WHAT THEY CONSIDER THE BEST OPTION.
UM, AND IT WOULDN'T CHANGE THE PRICE EITHER WAY.
IT'S STILL ABOUT SECOND ON ASPHALT.
SO I THINK I AGREE WITH YOU THAT TIME.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT IF HE PAINTED CONCRETE AND ASPHALT IS REALLY SLIPPERY.
WELL, I MEAN THE TENNIS COURTS AND THE BASKETBALL COURTS AT CLOUD PARK ARE PAINTED ASPHALT, RIGHT? BUT WHEN YOU CAN'T, IF YOU GET A CRACK ON REGULAR ASPHALT, YOU CAN JUST GO IN AND PATCH IT AND BE DONE.
BUT IF YOU GET IT, ALL THAT PAIN AND STUFF, YOU GOT TO GO IN AND PATCH IT, THEN YOU GOT TO REPAINT IT.
AND IT'S, IT'S JUST A LOT MORE TO MAINTAIN WHERE WE JUST HAVE THE LINES ON THERE.
YOU KNOW, OUR GUYS CAN TOUCH THOSE LINES UP EVERY YEAR.
PROBLEM, YOU GET IT DONE AT THERMO ONE TIME, AND THEN WE HIT THEM WITH PAIN FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS.
I'VE HEARD THIS BEFORE YOU WERE EVEN PATIENT OF THE DIRECTION.
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SHOOTING IN THE SUN, I GUESS IT WOULD GO LIKE EAST AND WEST VERSUS THE BASKETS WILL BE NORTH, SOUTH.
YEAH, WE WOULD, WE WOULD BUILD IT A HUNDRED TIMES BETTER THAN THE AMPHITHEATER DOES IT FACES DOING OKAY.
WHAT ABOUT THE MUSIC HERE? UH, THE MUSIC SERIES I DO HAVE, I BELIEVE DOUBLE CHECKER.
I THINK I HAVE SEVEN CONCERTS SCHEDULED ALREADY.
UM, WE ARE GETTING THE LAST COUPLE OF FINALIZED AND THEN WE SHOULDN'T BE GETTING THE, UH, CALENDAR OUT 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
SO THERE'S, THERE'S SIX ON THE CALENDAR.
NOW I WENT BACK TO THE AIR FROM ONE, A LITTLE BIT OF CONTRACT NEGOTIATION WITH THEM.
UM, BUT IT SHOULD BE A PRETTY GOOD SEASON.
UM, THE FORMAT THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST WEEKEND OF EVERY MONTH WILL BE A REALLY BIG SHOW.
UM, A LARGER BAND WITH A BIGGER DRAWL.
AND THEN, UH, THE REST OF THEM WILL BE KIND OF HOW THEY WERE IN THE PAST, UM, LOCAL BANDS THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT SMALLER, BUT STILL BRING IN A PRETTY GOOD CORRAL.
UM, CAUSE I THINK NOW WE'VE GOT IT TO WHERE WE'LL HAVE FIRST SATURDAY OR FIRST WEEKEND OF EVERY MONTH.
THAT THIRD, NO MATTER IF IT'S THE SECOND OR THIRD, FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH IS THE MOVIES.
DO YOU REMEMBER THIS? I THINK IT'S THE THIRD FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH, WE'LL BE MOVIES.
AND THEN THAT WAY WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, SECOND, FOURTH, SOMETIMES FIFTH WEEKEND TO ADD ANOTHER CONCERT.
SO JULY AND AUGUST OR AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER WE'LL HAVE THREE A MONTH.
THE REST OF THE TIME, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO, UH, WITH OTHER SYDNEY EVENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE A LOT TO TRY TO SQUEEZE EVERYTHING IN THAT GROUPS HAVE REQUESTED PLAY.
AND THEN HOW DO YOU BETTER? LET ME TELL YOU, YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN UM, WELL CHRIS, CHRIS SENDS OVER, HE HAS PEOPLE CONTACTED HIM ALL THE TIME.
I HAVE PEOPLE CONTACTING ME ALL THE TIME AND UH, ANYTIME I GET CONTACT, FIRST THING TO DO IS GO TO THE FACEBOOK PAGE.
AND YOU KNOW, IF IT'S SOMEBODY TAKING CELL PHONE FOOTAGE, OBVIOUSLY IT'S ONLY GOING TO SOUND SO GOOD.
UM, SO I TRY TO NOT BASE EVERYTHING SOLELY ON THAT.
UM, YOU KNOW, I'LL CALL AROUND OTHER PLACES.
THEY PLAY THAT AND GET OPINIONS AND STUFF.
AND UM, LIKE I TRY NOT TO GET TOO MUCH REPEAT.
SO LIKE WE HAD SOMEBODY SAY THEY PLAYED FOR SLASHER.
[00:10:01]
WE'D LOVE TO COME BACK.AND I WAS LIKE, HEY, WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW, WHY WOULD COME BACK? MAYBE THE FOLLOWING YEAR, THAT WAY IT'S NOT JUST THE SAME FEW BANDS ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE I MEAN, I WOULD LISTEN TO THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT UH, WE WANT TO PROVIDE SOME VARIETY.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT, UH, LOOK GUFFEY LANE.
UM, THEY'RE GOING TO BE PLAYING IN, IN JUNE, UM, ERIC GERARDI, UM, AIR GERARDI AND BRINGING THE SEVEN PIECE.
UH, SO HIS BLUES BAND WILL BE PLAYING IN AUGUST, I BELIEVE.
UM, JULY, WE'VE GOT THE JADE SALSA PROJECT, UH, COME IN AND THEN, UM, AUGUST, UM, AUGUST THE THIRD GERARDI AND THEN OCTOBER OH, STRANGERS PLAYING IN SEPTEMBER 1ST WEEK IN SEPTEMBER STRANGERS COMING, WHICH IS ACTUALLY THE 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMPHITHEATER BEING BUILT IN THE FIRST CONCERT OUT THERE WILL BE THE FIRST WEEKEND IN SEPTEMBER THE SAME WEEKEND AND THEY'RE PLAYING THIS YEAR.
SO THEY WERE THE FIRST ONES THAT PLAYED THERE 10 YEARS AGO.
SO WE KIND OF TALKED WITH THEM TO GET THAT, TO COME BACK OUT FOR THAT.
SO, YOU KNOW, THE, ALL THOSE, THE BIGGER CONCEPTS, WE ALL BE FUN AND HOPEFULLY GET, DRAW SEVERAL FOOD TRUCKS AT THOSE MORE THAN JUST TWO.
UM, LOVE STILL A LITTLE BIT OF THE WISE PARKING HOPEFULLY.
AND, UH, IF NOT, WE'LL PUT HER BACK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY CAN WALK THROUGH, TAKE A WALK, BUT SEPTEMBER IS STRANGER, JUST EVEN MORE OTHER DJS ON A MIXED 1 0 7, 7, AND THEN FARMER'S MARKET TAKES OFF AND THEY SAID, SARAH IS NOT HERE AND BACK WITH US UNTIL APRIL.
UH, SO I AM HANDLING ALL OF THAT.
UM, SO IT WILL BE A, NOT AS ORGANIZED FROM MARGARET THIS YEAR, BUT I'M TRYING MY BEST.
SO SHE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE MORE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL RIGHT.
UM, SO I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU.
UM, HAVE YOU SEEN ANY EMAILS REFERENCING SERVING? I THINK IT'S CALLED SERBIAN, OHIO, SO THEY PROVIDE GRANTS, UM, FOR, UM, ACTIVITIES.
SO, UM, I'LL SEND YOU THE LINK TO THAT CAUSE WE CAN APPLY FOR ASYLUM IF WE WANT TO DO A SPECIAL PROGRAMMING FOR THE, FOR THE YOUTH, FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
I JUST SAID THAT BECAUSE I DO HAVE A BRAND THAT I'M WORKING ON.
I KNOW FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
UM, CULTURE WORKS THROUGH MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
THEY DO EVERY YEAR FOR ART OR ART PROGRAMMING OR THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, AND LAST YEAR, SARAH AND I HAD BEEN WORKING WITH A COMPANY CALLED PIXELATED THAT DOES LEGO CAMPS FOR KIDS.
AND THEY DO, I MEAN, THESE ARE, THEY DO A ONE WEEK, TWO WEEK OR FOUR WEEKENDS AND THEY'LL DO THE SAME KIDS FOR THE ENTIRE TIME IF THEY DO A FOUR WEEK CAMP.
AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT THEY DO IS THEY GET, UM, TWO OR THREE KITS AND THEY BUILD SPECIFIC THINGS WITH THOSE.
AND THEN THEY DO SOMETHING LIKE MINDFULNESS EXERCISES THROUGHOUT THE DAY THEY GET WHAT'S CALLED A LIBERAL, WHICH IS A KIT THAT THIS COMPANY DEVELOPED.
THEY'RE ESSENTIALLY LEGO FLOWERPOTS.
THEY BUILT ONE, THEY PLANT THEM, THEY DO THAT LIKE FIRST DAY.
AND THEN THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE CAMPUS, THEY TAKE CARE OF THEIR PLANTS.
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LEARNING ABOUT THAT AND THINGS OF THE SUCH, BUT THEN THEY ALSO BUILD A, UM, THEY CALL IT, I FORGET THE WORD NOW, BUT ESSENTIALLY EVERYBODY BUILDS A LITTLE SQUARE.
THEY PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER AND IT MAKES ONE BIG PIECE OF ART.
AND THAT WILL EITHER HANG AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER HERE.
UH, I KNOW THEY'RE DOING ONE IN NORTHRIDGE IS ONE IN THE NEW LIBRARY IS IN NORTH RIDGE, NORTH LAWN WITH COLOMBIAN LIBRARY.
NOW ONE OF THE TWO, BUT EITHER WAY, IT'S GOING IN THERE AND THE LIBRARY.
SO THAT'S ANOTHER OPTION WHEN IT'S DONE.
UM, THAT PROGRAM WOULDN'T BE UNTIL NEXT YEAR THOUGH, BECAUSE THE GRANT WOULD BE FROM JULY OF THIS YEAR, THROUGH JUNE OF NEXT YEAR.
SO THAT WAY WE HAVE TIME OVER THE WINTER TO GET IT, UM, PUT TOGETHER.
IT WILL PROBABLY BE, UM, ADVERTISED AT FIRST, ONLY TO THE COMMUNITY RIGHT DIRECTLY AROUND THE COMMUNITY CENTER, UM, KIDS THAT ARE ABLE TO WALK OR BE RIGHT OVER THERE.
KIDS WHO DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THIS CAMP AND PROVIDE ON THE TIMES.
UM, AND THAT IS OUR GOAL IS TO REACH THEM FIRST.
SO THE GRANT WOULD BE $10,000, THE PROGRAMS 21, YOU HAVE TO MATCH WHATEVER YOU GET THE GRANT ANYWAY.
UM, SO IT WOULD MAKE IT NO COST FOR THOSE KIDS.
UM, WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO SHOWN INTEREST IN PROVIDING LUNCHES THROUGHOUT THOSE WEEKS AS WELL.
SO WE CAN EXTEND THE CAMP BY AN HOUR OR SO EVERY DAY AND PROVIDE THOSE KIDS A LUNCH AS WELL.
UM, SO THAT'S, UH, HOPEFULLY BY
[00:15:01]
MID MAY, WE'LL HAVE A DETERMINATION ON THAT, THAT BRANDS DO HERE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.SO JUST TO PIGGY ON THAT, THAT IT HAD TO POSTPONE PAST LAST FEW YEARS, BUT THERE'S A COMPANY ACTUALLY TWO OF THEM, ONE CALLED NATO FEST AND ONE IS CALLED WORLD LEGOS.
YEAH, YOU'RE DOING, THEY'RE DOING A BIG SHOW DOWN AT THE CONVENTION CENTER.
I THINK IT'S THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST SIX AND SEVEN OR SEVEN AND EIGHT AT THE CONVENTION CENTER.
SO IF THERE WAS A WAY TO HAVE SOME FREEDOM IN THERE, AND I KNOW IT'S A MOOT POINT FOR THIS YEAR, SINCE YOU SAID, I THINK THAT OUR HISTORY SHOWS THAT THEY TRY AND REPEAT THE SAME CITIES TO BUILD INTEREST, BUT THAT HAPPENED IN JULY AND THEN, OH, BY THE WAY.
YEAH, NEXT WEEK WE HAVE A BIG, BIG LEGO CONVENTION THAT ADAM WHO IS, WHO OWNS BRICKS, ELATED ACTUALLY IS, UM, THEY HAVE SOME SORT OF WORKSHOP WITH THIS PROGRAM GOING ON AT THE ARCADE AND, UH, AND UH, THEIR GOAL IS NEXT YEAR TO DO A COMPLETE CHRISTMAS DISPLAY JUST OUT OF LEGOS, LIKE THEY USED TO HAVE AT LIKE WOOLWORTHS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
UM, SO AS THESE CAMPS GO ON AROUND THE STATE, YOU KNOW, HOW THE KIDS ALSO BUILD A SECTION OF THE CHRISTMAS DISPLAY THAT CAN ALL BE PUT TOGETHER.
AND THEY'RE HOPING TO HAVE THAT ON DISPLAY AT THE ARCADE, UH, NEXT YEAR AS WELL.
SO THEY GOT A LOT OF COOL STUFF THAT THEY DO.
AND, UH, THEY'RE WRITING AN ENTIRE CURRICULUM THAT WORKING WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON, RUNNING AN ENTIRE CURRICULUM JUST BASED ON LEGO, UH, TO BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON THAT TOPIC? SO JOSH, ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU, THE JACK-O-LANTERN THE WORLD, DID YOU HEAR BACK FROM THEM? RON WAS ASKING ME THAT I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM DEED THAT GOES TO THE , I'M GOING TO REACH BACK OUT TO THEM AND SEE, UM, JERRY AND I WERE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT THAT EARLIER TODAY.
UM, SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOMETHING AND YOU DIDN'T GET ON THEIR SCHEDULE.
UH, DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT, UM, USER GROUPS, UH, FOR THE, FOR CLOUD PARK, UM, GOING WELL.
UM, WE GOT THE SIGNED FIVE-YEAR AGREEMENT, UH, WAS THAT YESTERDAY JOSH FOR, UM, THE SOFTBALL BASEBALL GROUP.
UM, SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH TAKEN CARE OF FOR THE MOST PART, A COUPLE OF THINGS TO DO THERE ON MY END.
UM, BUT THAT'LL BE SQUARED AWAY.
THERE'LL BE ABLE TO GET STARTED.
AND I KNOW JOSH IS STILL WORKING ON THEM WITH FIELDS, GETTING THEM PREPPED AND READY.
UM, I BELIEVE MONITA'S NOT QUITE READY YET, OR THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO IT YET BECAUSE OF THEIR, THE WEATHER AND STUFF.
SO, UM, ONCE JOSH GETS MANITA DONE, WE'LL GET THEM SQUARED AWAY FROM ANITA FIELDS.
THOSE TWO FIELDS UP THERE, UM, AQUATIC CENTER WISE, UM, YOU KNOW, WORKING ON GETTING READY FOR, UH, US TO OPEN PLANNING OUR TRAINING DATES FOR OUR STAFF, RECRUITING STAFF.
UM, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A POSTCARD GOING OUT TO ALL PREVIOUS, UM, KROGER AQUATIC CENTER MEMBERS.
UM, I BELIEVE THEY WENT OUT TODAY OR YESTERDAY, ACCORDING TO JAMIE, UM, WE'LL START SELLING PASSES, UH, FOR THIS SEASON ON MARCH 1ST.
UM, IT'LL BE 22% OFF OF A REGULAR MEMBERSHIP UNTIL APRIL 15TH.
AND THEN IT GOES TO 10% OFF TIL ABOUT THE WEEK BEFORE WE OPENED.
UM, NORMALLY WE TRY TO DO SOMETHING IN CHRISTMAS AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME, BUT WITH SARAH'S HEALTH, WE JUST, WE JUST DIDN'T GET INTO IT THIS YEAR.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING THE 22%, BUT EVERYBODY LAST YEAR THAT BOUGHT A, UM, PASS, WE'LL GET A POSTCARD AT HOME.
UM, JAMIE SAID, SHE'LL ADVERTISE IT ON THE FACE ON HER, THE CITY'S FACEBOOK PAGE, THE WEBSITE, AND THEN KEY ADS AS WELL THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
SO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THAT.
LET'S AGENDA ITEM IS THE MARCH MEETING.
SO I DID LOOK AT A COUPLE OF DATES FOR THAT, UM, FOR THAT MEETING, HOWEVER, THOSE DATES WERE BOOKED.
SO, AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE HERE THE WEEK BEFORE OUR PREVIOUS ONE AND THE WEEK AFTER.
UM, SO I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE NOT HAVE A MARCH MEETING AND JUST SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN IN APRIL.
UM, UNLESS YOU GUYS WANT TO MEET IN MARCH, IT'S MY GIFT TO YOU THEN TO GIVE, TO OFFER THAT UP.
BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS GO OVER, YOU KNOW, GO UP TO CHRISTMAS AND YOU HAVE TO PLAY NO BASKETBALL.
[00:20:04]
NO.WE HAVE THE GIRLS HOUSE, HIGH SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS THAT YOU'D BE AGREEING THAT THE WEEKEND BEFORE FOUR AND THEN THE BOYS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IS THE WEEKEND AFTER.
SO I THINK ON THE SCHEDULE, UM, THERE WERE GOING TO BE 20, 28 GAMES AT UV ARENA IN 11 DAYS WE WENT YOUR BASKETBALL FIX, COME TO THE RIGHT.
SO THERE WILL BE NO MEETING IN MARCH.
SO YOU ALL HAVE MARCH FREE, ENJOY THE TOURNAMENT.
UH, NEXT ITEM, NEW BUSINESS, UM, 2022 PARK AND RECREATION CALENDAR.
SO IS IF IT'S FUNNY, I DON'T KNOW.
SO, UM, I PASSED OUT TO EVERYONE THAT DRAFTED THE CALENDAR AS WE GET MORE ITEMS ON OUR, UM, AS WE GET MORE DATES, I'LL START THROWING THEM ON, ON THIS CALENDAR, THIS ONE SPECIFICALLY FOR US.
SO THAT WAY YOU ALL KNOW WHAT'S COMING UP AND YOU ALWAYS HAVE THAT.
SO, UM, LIKE JOSH MENTIONED THE MUSIC SERIES, I'LL GO AHEAD AND ADD THOSE THINGS ON THE FARMER'S MARKET IS NOT REALLY, IT'S A PARTS RELATED, UM, ACTIVITY, BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE ARE PHYSICALLY DOING SPECIFICALLY.
SO YOU'LL SEE DIFFERENT CODES, UH, COLOR CODING FOR THAT IN THE LEGEND.
UM, AND I WILL ALSO TRY AND LOAD ANY OF THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION STUFF WHEN NEEDED TO, SO THAT WHEN YOU GUYS ARE AWARE, I KNOW THEY HAVE A LOT OF THINGS PLANNED THIS YEAR, SO I'LL MAKE SURE YOU ALL ARE AWARE OF THOSE AS WELL.
UM, AS WE START SCHEDULING THINGS LIKE THE, GEOCASHING, THE ROCK PAINTING, UM, A COUPLE OF THE Y ACTIVITIES, UM, I WILL ALSO HAVE TO HAVE THOSE ON INSTANT, THOSE OUT TO YOU ALL.
SO YOU MIGHT SEE IT FREQUENTLY, BUT I WILL TRY AND ONLY SING IT TO YOU, UM, EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS SO THAT WE DON'T OVERWHELM YOUR EMAIL.
UM, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE AGENDA CALENDAR? YES.
UM, I'LL SEND YOU THE DATES TOO.
WE DO HAVE SOME REGULARLY SCHEDULED, UH, ART CLASSES AT THE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE NOW THAT WILL BE STARTING IN MARCH.
UM, A LADY NAMED SAM, GREAT LPS, A CERTIFIED BOB ROSS PAINTER.
UH, SO THE SECOND SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH, SHE'S DOING A TEACH A FOUR HOUR BOB ROSS CLASS AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
AND THEN SECOND TUESDAY WILL BE, UM, I MIGHT, I'M USING THE WRONG ORDER.
SECOND TUESDAY WILL BE LIKE A TWO HOUR ADULT PAINTING CLASS.
AND THEN THE THIRD TUESDAY WILL BE A TWO HOUR KIDS PAINTING CLASS.
UM, AND, UH, ONCE WE GET ALL, EVERYTHING FINALIZED, WE'LL START ADVERTISING THAT AND HAVE A FLYER THAT WILL GO OUT WHERE YOU JUST GO STRAIGHT TO A LINK FOR HER, PAY HER, UM, GET SIGNED UP AND THEN, UH, SHE KIND OF HANDLES EVERYTHING.
SO, UM, BUT IT'LL BE REGULAR USAGE AT THAT BUILDING AND, UH, WHICH IS WHAT I'M HOPING IT'LL CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE.
UH, SHE HAD THAT, SHE HAD SOME CLASSES THAT RIGHT, PAT, THAT SHE CANCELED.
AND SO THIS KIND OF FREED HER UP FOR LIKE A WEEK EVERY MONTH.
SO THE FIRST THING SHE DID WAS GIVE US A CALL AND ASK HER IF SHE COULD GO.
I'M JUST GOING TO ASK YOU ABOUT DENNIS.
I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU ABOUT THOSE CLASSES.
UM, THAT'S, THAT'S MY REASON WHY I PUT CLASS CLASS ON HERE.
UM, ALL THIS WE'LL BE THE KID'S TRIATHLON AT THE AQUATIC CENTER.
SO WE'LL DO IT IN THE MORNING.
I WAS JUST THINKING, I THINK, I THINK I WAS ON THAT EVENING MUSIC SHOW THAT NIGHT, SO, BUT YEAH, WE'LL HAVE IT.
WE'D ALL BE DONE LIKE LAST YEAR.
AND IF WE CAN MOVE YOU GUYS TO SINCLAIR PARKING LOT, LIKE WE DID FOR THE FARMER'S MARKET ON THAT SATURDAY.
I THINK IT WAS PRETTY WELL ATTENDED.
FARMER'S MARKET THAT SATURDAY.
I WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STATE.
WE SEE MORE CUSTOMERS, SO THAT'S ALL AUGUST SIX THAT THE AQUATIC CENTER.
AND THEN TO, DOES EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT DATE, UH, YOU WERE SCHOOLS GO BACK IN AUGUST? WE HAVE THAT DAY TO GET HERE.
WHEN THEY GO BACK TO SCHOOL, THEY WENT BACK ON A THURSDAY THIS YEAR.
UM, THAT BEING SAID MAYBE SECOND WEEKEND IN AUGUST.
ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR ABOUT JULY OR THREE? ON THREE TOURNAMENTS? I WAS THINKING YOU JUNE, WE'LL START WITH THAT.
[00:25:01]
HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT.UM, YOU AND I, AND UH, LET'S SEE WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
LET'S SEE, YOU KNOW, THOSE 42 IS USUALLY PRETTY GOOD IF WE GET A WALLBOARD OR MAKING SHIRTS SO WE CAN GET PEOPLE SIGNED UP AHEAD OF TIME AND GET SHIRTS MADE AND HAVE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF BROUGHT DOWN THE COST FOR THAT.
UM, WE'LL START ADVERTISING THAT RIGHT AWAY.
CAUSE I THINK WE CAN GET A PRETTY GOOD SHOWING, UM, AS LIKE I SAID, YEAH.
AND THEY'LL HAVE A DISTRICT ON, AND THEN CHRIS, IF YOU COULD SHOOT YOU OVER ANY, UH, ON JEWS, THAT WAY I CAN JUST DOUBLE CHECK AND DON'T WANT TO BE THERE.
AND OBVIOUSLY SAME TIME WE'VE BEEN, CAROL'S DONE TUNA SMASHES ON SATURDAYS, THE SOUTHWEST CAROL COMES BACK THE BALL.
BUT THEY'RE BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST.
WELL, WE'LL FIND OUT, WE'LL GET A DATE FOR THAT.
AND IF THE SHELTERS ARE ALREADY BOTH FULL WALKING OUT, YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT BECAUSE SHELTERS ARE FLYING OFF THE SHELVES RIGHT NOW.
FIRST ONE I'LL NEED ONE ON THAT.
UM, SO WE CAN HOPEFULLY HAVE A DATE FOR THAT SAYS.
UM, SO BLAKE'S NOT HERE TODAY.
SO I DID GET AN EMAIL FROM HIM.
SO HE WAS GOING TO GO AHEAD AND UM, I TOLD HIM TO GO AHEAD AND RESERVE THE TRAILER AGAIN.
WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT EXACTLY WE WANT TO DO THIS YEAR.
I KNOW WE NEED TO CLEAN OUT THE FLOWER BEDS AGAIN.
UM, THERE'S SO MUCH, SO WE WANT TO PUT OUR FOCUS THERE.
I'M GOING TO KEEP A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE.
JUST ALL, IF YOU GO, EVERY TREE OUT THERE HAS IT'S UP AND THROWN AROUND IT.
SO, UM, I'LL TELL HIM, WE'LL FOCUS ON, ON THAT PART SPECIFICALLY, BUT IF THE ROTC UNIT, UH, ONCE DO COMMUNITY AGAIN, UM, THEY'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO, UM, SO WE'LL GET THAT OUT.
UH, TODAY HE'S ALSO THINKING ABOUT, DO WE WANT TO DO SOME TYPE OF ACTIVITIES THERE AT THE LIKE INSIDE THE COMMUNITY CENTER SPECIFICALLY? LIKE WE HAVE SOME YOUNGER KIDS AREN'T ABLE TO DO CERTAIN THINGS.
SO I WAS THINKING OF, MAYBE WE CAN DO THE ROCK PAINTING AT THAT TIME.
SO I WILL REACH OUT TO TERRY AND SEE IF SHE'S AVAILABLE THAT DAY.
UM, AND THEN IF PEOPLE WANNA DO ANYTHING ELSE, LIKE, I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE WE WANT TO DO.
UM, WE MIGHT TALK TO, UM, I SPOKE WITH RECENTLY ABOUT A SECOND STREET MARKET AND I SPOKE WITH SOMEBODY OUT THERE, BUT IT MIGHT BE, THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO WHILE WE'VE GOT PEOPLE IN A BUILDING TO CLEAN UP TO HAVE NO PROBLEM POSTING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND GO OUT THERE AS WELL.
SO WHAT, THAT'S THE 22ND, RIGHT? THAT'S SATURDAY 23RD, 23RD OR 24TH.
THE FRONT THE, OR TODAY IS A FRIDAY.
SO I HAVE TO, OKAY, SO IT'S THE 23RD, 23RD IS THE SATURDAY.
SO YEAH, I'LL BLOCK OFF THAT DAY.
WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE SCHEDULED THAT DID THE PERCUSSION LADY CALL YOU AND JOSH, THE PERCUSSION LADY FROM CALIFORNIA.
SHE'S LOOKING FOR PRACTICE-BASED FOR A PERCUSSION GROUP.
THAT'S COMING FOR A COMPETITION IN THE AREA OR FROM CALIFORNIA.
SHE'S LOOKING FOR A SPACE FROM NINE TO FIVE.
I COULDN'T GIVE UP MY GYM FROM NINE TO FIVE BECAUSE ALEX'S FRIENDS WOULD GET MAD ABOUT PICKLEBALL.
SO I TOLD HER, I TOLD HER TO REACH OUT TO YOU CAUSE MAYBE THE COMMUNITY CENTER WOULD WORK.
SO IF SHE DOESN'T, IF YOU DON'T HEAR ANYTHING FROM TOMORROW, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL SHOOT YOU.
HOPEFULLY IT'S NOT A VERY BIG PERCUSSION GROUP.
IF YOU NEED NEEDED YOUR GYMNASIUM, SHE WAS TO ABOUT CEILING.
I KNOW THEY'RE NOT THROWING ANYTHING.
IF YOU EVER NUMBER OR WHATEVER.
WELL, I'LL JUST EMAIL IT TO YOU IN THE MORNING.
[00:30:01]
UM, AND THEN ALSO AS A REMINDER, UH, JULY IS PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH.SO, UM, WE HAVE PLENTY OF THINGS ALREADY PLANNED THAT MONTH, BUT WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.
WE'LL START LOOKING AT THAT AS WELL.
NEXT ITEM IS THE 2020 2 23 PRIORITY LIST DISCUSSION.
SO THIS IS ME JUST TELLING YOU, START TO THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU WANT TO ADD ONTO THE PRIORITY LIST.
UM, I WILL SEND OUT WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR.
I'LL TALK TO JOSH TO SEE WHAT'S CURRENTLY PLANNED AND I'LL, I'LL IDENTIFY THAT ON THE LIST AND THEN WE'LL START THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
UM, THE GOAL WAS TO TRY AND TURN THAT IN BEFORE THE BUDGETS TO MISS SHIT, BUT BUDGET DISCUSSION, WHICH IS JUNE, IT'S USUALLY IN JUNE.
I THINK IT'S KINDA HARD TO TELL RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THERE'S NOT THE NEW CITY MANAGER WOULD HOPEFULLY BE IN PLACE BY JUNE.
YEAH, I WOULD SAY, I WOULD SAY IF YOU, IF WE WERE DONE BY THE END OF JULY, THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE BEST.
UH, ADDITIONAL BUSINESS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING NEW, MAYBE MARTIN WHEN THE GRAND OLD YOU HAVE? WE ARE.
SO, UM, I'M GLAD YOU SAID ALL OF THE, UM, ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES ARE STILL IN PRODUCTION OR THAT, UH, THAT BLUE BOAT TOP.
SO ONCE THEY'RE DONE ACTUALLY THEIR, UM, THEIR SETTLEMENT WAS IN TOWN LAST WEEK WE MET AND UH, THEY'RE HOPING, THEY'RE HOPING BY THE END OF MARCH THAT PRODUCTION'S DONE AT FIRSTLY THE ABLE THEY CAN BE HERE, UH, TO GET THAT INSTALLED.
SO IT WOULD BE ONCE THAT'S DONE AND, UH, WE COULD DO SOMETHING THEN, UM, BUT I ALSO NEED TO CHECK WITH THE OTHER ASPHALT COMPANY THAT WAS GOING TO BE DOING THE PARKING LOT AS WELL AND SEE HOW QUICKLY THEY CAN GET IN THERE.
AND I'D LIKE TO JUST GET IT ALL KNOCKED DOWN DONE, BUT BEFORE WE DO OUR BIG GRAND OPENING, WHATEVER WE DO, WE'LL HAVE PLENTY OF NOTICE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BIG PARTY OUT THERE ON THAT AS THOUGH, UM, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE WOULD BE SOLID ANNOUNCEMENT, MIKE'S BIKE PARK IN DAYTON.
THEY ARE NOW RUNNING THE BIKE SHOP AT HUBER.
UH, THEIR GRAND OPENING WAS MARCH THE FIFTH.
UH, SO THERE'LL BE MIKE'S CYCLE ESCAPE.
UH, MIKE IS NOW STEPPING IN AND RUNNING THAT LOCATION, UM, AS A SECONDARY THAT IS, AND, UH, HE'S SUPER EXCITED, WANTS TO DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING HE CAN TO SUPPORT THE CITY AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY OF SKATERS AND CYCLISTS IN THE CITY.
UM, SO, UH, I WISH THE BEST OF LUCK FOR HIM.
AND, UH, WHENEVER WE DO THE THING, HE'LL BE THERE AS WELL WITH THIS GROUP.
UM, SO QUESTION, UM, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE DID A BIKE SAFETY, I GUESS, UM, EVENT UP AT EICHELBERGER.
ARE WE LOOKING AT DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN? UH, WE, WE MAY WORK THAT INTO THE GRAND OPENING OF THE CHILDREN THAT TELL ME THEY WILL GIVE US MORE HELP IT'S UH, SO WE'LL DEFINITELY DO A HELMET CHECK.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SET UP SOMETHING IOS ALL COURSE FOR KIDS, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LIMITED SPACE.
I MEAN, WE ALREADY HAD ON OURSELF THAT WINNING 250 PEOPLE.
UM, SO I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MUCH EXTRA REAL ESTATE TO SET UP ANYTHING MORE THAN ONCE THERE.
UM, SO WE WILL DO SOMETHING, UH, WHETHER IT'S JUST GETTING WITH BIKE AT MIAMI VALLEY AND GETTING SOME OF THEIR PAMPHLETS, YOU KNOW, UH, I KNOW SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL.
UM, PROGRAM HAS SOME INFORMATION I CAN GIVE OUT TO SHOWING KIDS WHEN THEY'RE RIDING TO SCHOOL THE PROPER WAY ACROSS THE STREET AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
SO, UM, WE CAN PASS LITERATURE OUT, BUT AS FAR AS HAVING AN ACTUAL SAFETY EVENT.
SO IN THE PACKET WE HAVE THE JANUARY 20TH, 2022 MINUTES.
HAS THERE BEEN ONE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THOSE MINUTES? OKAY.
IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS, THE MINUTES WILL BE APPROVED AS WRITTEN OR ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS? NOPE.
[00:35:11]
OKAY.OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE IN APRIL AND IT IS 7 0 5.
AND THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
