[ AGENDA ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road February 15, 2023 6:30 P.M. ]
GOOD EVENING.I SHALL CALL THE ORDER OF THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS, ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION.
UM, SARAH, WOULD YOU MIND TO CALL THE ROLE MS. BRANDENBURG? HERE.
MS. DANIEL? KAREN, MR. FOX? PRESENT? MS. QUINN? MS. SHELTON? HERE.
MS. UPSHAW, I'D ALSO LIKE TO EXCUSE AN OPTION FOR MS. QUINN.
UM, SHE IS NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO BE HERE TONIGHT.
UH, ALL IN FAVOR? CAN YOU SAY, I, I, I, CORRECTION.
UM, WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR ALL THOSE WHO CAME TO THE ARTS, UM, EXHIBIT ON SATURDAY.
WE'RE HAPPY TO SAY WE HAD AROUND 29 ARTISTS, UH, SHOWING THEIR ART, AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
UM, WE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE FOR ALL THOSE LISTENING, WE HAVE TWO OPEN SPOTS ON THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION BOARD.
WE WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO COME AND JOIN US.
UM, WE GET TO DO A LOT OF THE FUN STUFF OF PLANNING OUR COOL EVENTS.
SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO JOIN US, YOU CAN CALL, UM, SARAH AT THE CITY.
IS THERE ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS? NOT TONIGHT.
WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR OLD BUSINESS AND RECAP OUR ARTS EXHIBIT AND HOW YOU GUYS THINK IT WENT.
AND, UM, I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.
I MEAN, IT WAS, THERE WERE A LOT OF INTERESTED PEOPLE THERE.
A LOT OF, A LOT OF THE, UM, ARTISTS WERE VERY COMPLIMENTARY ABOUT THE VENUE AND WERE, CUZ THERE WERE A FEW THERE THAT HAD NOT BEEN THERE BEFORE.
AND THEY WERE VERY, VERY COMPLIMENTARY OF THE, THE VENUE AND EVERYTHING, HOW IT WAS ORGANIZED.
AND THEY DEFINITELY SAID THEY WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO COME BACK AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
SO, HOPEFULLY, WE'LL, WE'LL GET EVEN MORE ARTISTS NEXT YEAR.
UM, AS FAR AS ATTENDANCE, I, I REALLY, WE WEREN'T, WE WEREN'T ACTUALLY KEEPING TRACKS THOUGH.
SO YES, VERY TALENTED ARTISTS.
SOME OF THE PIECES WERE QUITE BEAUTIFUL IN OH YEAH.
SO I GUESSED THAT WE HAD EASILY IN EXCESS OF 200, PROBABLY APPROACHING 300 IN ATTENDANCE, SO, YEAH, I'M NOT SURE.
WELL, MANY OF THOSE DID DECLINE THE COOKIES.
SO
THANKS CHERYL AND TINA FOR GETTING THAT ORGANIZED AND READY.
ANYTHING WE CAN DO BETTER FOR NEXT YEAR? UH, PROBABLY GET THE WORD OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.
WE WERE, UM, UH, ASKED BY ONE OF OUR FORMER BOARD MEMBERS TO, UH, INCLUDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND THE COMMUNITY CENTER BECAUSE SHE SAID THAT, UH, SHE FELT LIKE THAT WE MIGHT GET A LOT OF ATTENDANCE FROM THAT AREA IF THEY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON.
AND SHE WAS KIND OF SPEAKING IN GENERAL ABOUT ANY EVENTS THAT WE HAVE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
CUZ A LOT OF THE PEOPLE, I GUESS IN THAT AREA DO NOT HAVE TRANSPORTATION.
SO THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO, TO PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY EVENTS, UM, BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT THERE.
AND SO, SO MAYBE NEXT TIME WE WILL GET SOME FLYERS OUT AROUND THAT AREA.
CUZ I THINK I, I KNOW WHEN I PUT OUT FLYERS BEFORE I GENERALLY KIND OF STAY TOWARDS, YOU KNOW, THE LIBRARY AND DIFFERENT BUSINESSES ALONG THAT STRIP THAT ARE WILLING TO PUT 'EM OUT.
BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP THE PEOPLE THAT AREN'T GOING TO THAT AREA.
SO, UM, MAYBE NEXT TIME WE DO A LITTLE BIT MORE FOOTWORK AND GET SOME MORE FLYERS OUT IN THE, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I BELIEVE WE SENT A DIGITAL COPY TO THE SCHOOLS FOR THE FIRE.
SO ALL THE SCHOOLS GOT A DIGITAL OH, OKAY.
BUT YEAH, SOMETIMES WE DID START ADVERTISING IT, ESPECIALLY TO
[00:05:01]
THE ARTIST A WHOLE LOT SOONER.LIKE WE HAD SIGN UP AT THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL, SO THAT'S CORRECT.
SO WE HAD FLYERS THERE, SO WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY SCHOOL PARTICIPATION, LIKE SCHOOL, UM, EXCEPT FOR ONE, THE LITTLE PRESCHOOL.
BUT, UM, WE DIDN'T HAVE LIKE THE ELEMENTARIES OR HIGH SCHOOL.
WE COULD, WE COULD THEN ADD ANOTHER ROW OF TABLES WITH IN EACH ROOM, I THINK IF WE NEEDED TO.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.
I THINK IT TURNED OUT REALLY WELL.
UH, THE NEXT ON OUR OLD BUSINESS IS PLANS FOR 2023 MOVIES.
UM, AND WE NEED TO DECIDE THE PARKS PORTION OF IT.
UM, THE REQUEST HAS BEEN, THEY WOULD LIKE IT AT THE DIFFERENT PARKS AGAIN, NOT JUST ONE.
UM, AND WHO MADE THAT REQUEST? I'M NOT SURE.
ALL YOU MEAN FOR OTHER AREAS, LIKE RIGHT.
UM, AT THE HAVING IT BOTH AT CLOUD AND YEAH.
NO, NOT JUST HAVING IT AT ONE PARK, EVEN THOUGH THAT MM-HMM.
SO NOT AT, JUST AT THE ILE THEATER.
SO WE JUST NEED TO DECIDE, LIKE, I THOUGHT THE DRIVE-INS WERE WELL RECEIVED.
I THINK THE COMMUNITY SEEMS TO ENJOY THEM.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'RE MORE WELL RECEIVED THAN OUR MOVIES JUST IN THE PARK.
MY PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVE DRIVE-INS IS THAT THERE'S A LOT MORE MOVING PARTS AND IT'S A LOT HARDER TO KIND OF KEEP IT ORGANIZED CUZ YOU'VE GOT CARS, YOU KNOW, AND YOU GOT, YOU'VE GOTTA PARK CARS.
YOU'VE GOT TO, YOU KNOW, KEEP EVERYTHING MOVING.
AND, UM, WE WILL HAVE A COUPLE MORE HANDS ON DECK BECAUSE THE Y IS PARTNERING WITH US.
SO WE WILL HAVE, AND THAT WILL MORE STAFF.
SO THAT WILL CLOUD WHO IS PARTNERING WITH US? THE Y M C A, THEY'RE GONNA THE MOVIE SERIES.
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'RE ANYTHING ELSE, BUT I DEFINITELY KNOW THE MOVIES.
SO THE Y UM, HAS THE MOVIE LICENSE AND SO WE'RE, WE'RE PARTNERING TOGETHER SO THAT ALLEVIATES THAT COST.
UM, BUT THEY ARE ALSO WILLING TO PROVIDE EXTRA STAFFING VOLUNTEERS FOR THE NIGHT OF, AND AGAIN, THAT, THAT IS A GREAT PARTNERSHIP BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S PART OF THE, THE PARKS AND REC SIDE OF THINGS, BUT THEN IT'S ALSO GOOD EXPOSURE FOR THE Y.
SO I, I DON'T REMEMBER WHERE EVERYTHING WAS LAST YEAR.
LIKE, WHICH, WHICH PARKS WE DID WHAT AT? I KNOW THE FIRST MOVIE WAS DEFINITELY AT TOM CLOUD PARK.
WHICH ONE? THE FIRST MOVIE WE DID IN JUNE.
JUNE WAS A DRIVE-IN MOVIE AT? NO.
UM, IN CANTO WAS MICHAEL BERGER.
THAT, THAT WE WERE DOING E MORE BOUND WAS OUR FIRST MOVIE.
UH, BACK TO EEL BERGER IN AUGUST? OR DID WE DO NO, I THINK WE SWITCHED IT UP.
BUT I REMEMBER IN CANTO, WAS IT CLOUD? CUZ THAT WAS THE ONE WE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE MOVIE.
I, I MEAN, I REMEMBER IT WAS, IT, IT WAS, WELL I THOUGHT HOMEWARD BOUND WAS HER FIRST MOVIE AND IT WAS AT IOR, BUT I KNOW I, I MIGHT HAVE 'EM OUTTA ORDER.
SO IS INDIANA JONES OR IS THAT THE ROSE? THAT'S THE ONE THAT'S AT THE ROSE.
I THINK THAT'S SET IN STONE, RIGHT? YEP.
SO IS, I MEAN, IT MAKES SENSE I GUESS TO DO EVERY OTHER ONE.
AND I DON'T CARE WHICH ORDER WE DO IT IN.
WELL, LET'S THINK ABOUT, ARE WE GONNA HAVE MAYBE ACTIVITIES LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR OR ARE WE JUST GONNA DO THE MOVIE? I I AM FINE WITH ACTIVITIES.
I THINK WE NEED TO MINIMIZE THE ACTIVITIES JUST BECAUSE IT'S TRYING TO GET THINGS SCHEDULED AROUND THE MOVIE AND THAT KIND OF THING.
I THINK FOOD TRUCKS ARE GREAT IF WE CAN AT LEAST GET ONE FOOD TRUCK AT EACH MOVIE.
I DEFINITELY LIKE TO SEE THAT BECAUSE THAT SAVES US FROM HAVING TO, YOU KNOW, SERVE FOOD AND STUFF AS, YOU KNOW, DR.
SOMEONE DONATED TO POPCORN MACHINES TO ME.
AND SO I CAN BRING THOSE WITH SOME STAFF AND HAVE THEM OUT.
I MEAN, THAT'S FINE IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
[00:10:01]
WE NO FOOD TRUCKS THIS YEAR? WELL, I MEAN, IT'S TOTALLY UP TO YOU GUYS.SO, SO DO WE PAY FOR THE FOOD TRUCKS OR DO THEY JUST MAKE COMMISSION? UM, SO YOU CAN DO IT ONE OF TWO WAYS.
SO IF YOU WANTED TO UNDERWRITE THE COST OF THAT, YOU, YOU POSSIBLY COULD OUT OF THE BUDGET.
UM, YOU COULD SEEK OUT ADDITIONAL DONATIONS TO COVER THAT COST.
UM, OR YOU CAN LEAVE IT UP TO THE FAMILIES TO PAY FOR THAT.
I THINK WE HAD LIKE A FOOD TRUCK LAST YEAR THAT SERVED HOTDOGS FOR FREE AND WE PAID FOUR OTHER SOMETHING.
IT WAS UNDERWRITTEN BY SOMEBODY.
DIDN'T WE HAVE SOME KIND OF A PROBLEM WITH THAT? I MEAN, WELL I THINK WE DID HAVE TROUBLE ONE TIME BECAUSE WE, THE FOOD TRUCK DID NOT BRING DRINKS AND WE DID NOT BRING DRINKS.
SO THAT, THAT WAS, THAT WAS THE ONLY ISSUE I THINK THAT WE, THAT WE HAD.
SO THAT'S MAYBE SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE AT LEAST GOT WATER PROVIDED FOR EVERYBODY.
BUT I MEAN, I LIKE THE POPCORN IDEA AND I'M HAPPY WITH THAT.
I WILL DEFINITELY MAKE SURE WE HAVE POPCORN FOR THE MOVIES.
UM, SEEMS TO ME THAT THE TWO THAT WE UNDERWROTE WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH.
I WANTED, UH, I FIRST WANTED EIFFEL BERGER.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE ALL, ALL THEIR EQUIPMENT WITH THEM.
I THINK IF YOU'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING, UM, I JUST THINK I WOULD HAVE THE FAMILIES PAY FOR IT.
I JUST THINK A PROFESSIONAL FOOD TRUCK BEING THERE, THEY'VE GOT ALL THEIR EQUIPMENT AND IF YOU'RE DOING FREE POPCORN YEAH.
WE, IF WE PUT OUT WATER AND POPCORN AND THEN THEN OPTION THEY WANNA BUY FOOD.
OUR CHURCH WILL DONATE THE POPCORN AND AND BUTTER AND I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT DRINKS.
BUT SO THEN THE FOOD TRUCK WOULD BE AN OPTIONAL THING IF WE WANNA HAVE A FOOD TRUCK THERE.
IF WE WANNA HAVE A YEAH, WELL I WOULD SAY JUNE IN JULY MOVIES IT, IT'S NOT A BAD IDEA.
CUZ THOSE MOVIES AREN'T GONNA START UNTIL 10 O'CLOCK.
PROBABLY WOULD WANT TO HAVE ACTIVITIES FOR THOSE TWO MOVIES.
BECAUSE THEY DO START A LITTLE BIT LATER.
NOW THE AUGUST ONE WILL PROBABLY BE CLOSER TO NINE.
THE SEPTEMBER ONE WILL BE ABOUT EIGHT 30.
SO THOSE, WE PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO HAVE AS MUCH ACTIVITIES.
OR WE COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE MAYBE GET ONE OF THE LOCAL DOG SHELTERS TO COME OUT AND HAVE A MEET AND GREET, YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF THING.
SO DO YOU THINK, UM, ET THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE BETTER AS A DRIVE-IN? CUZ IT IS A LITTLE BIT LATER.
I THINK ET WOULD BE A GOOD DRIVE-IN MAYBE.
SO LET'S DO THAT ONE AT CLOUD AND THEN JUST GO EVERY OTHER ONE.
I MEAN THAT SIMPLIFIES THINGS.
YOU KNOW, IF WE JUST DO EVERY OTHER ONE.
MAYBE WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE RECORD RALPH AS A DRIVE-IN.
PARDON? IT'S NOT GONNA BE A DRIVE-IN CAUSE IT'LL BE A NO, IT'LL BE AT ICO.
SO ET IS THE DRIVE-IN AT CLOUD PARK.
AND THEN LITTLE GIANTS WILL BE AT CLOUD AND ALADDIN WILL BE AT THE EEL BERGER.
SO I GUESS WE NEED TO KIND OF THINK OF WHAT ACTIVITY WOULD GO WITH EACH ONE OF THOSE.
OBVIOUSLY WE ALREADY HAVE INDIANA JONES SOMETHING LINED UP FOR THAT, BUT YEAH, THE LITTLE GIANTS IS ABOUT BASEBALL, ISN'T IT? IT IS ABOUT BASEBALL.
YOU EVEN HAVE THE DRAGONS OR SOME COME, YOU KNOW, THAT ALWAYS SUPER FUN.
CAN ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE A GAME OF WHIFFLE BALL.
WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT HUBER HEIGHT? UM, LAURA, THEY HAVE A HUBER HEIGHTS.
I MEAN, HUBER HEIGHTS HAS A BASEBALL SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION.
THEY HAVE PLAYERS AND TEAMS. MAYBE WE CAN GET THEM INVOLVED OR SOMETHING.
THROUGH B WISES THEY CAN ALSO OFFER, HEY, YOU WANNA PLAY BASEBALL? OKAY.
I MEAN, WE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF TIME, BUT YEAH, WE HAD TO START THINKING ABOUT THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO CALL HUBER HEIGHTS? UM, SEE IF THE LEAGUE WOULD LIKE TO COME AND MAYBE HAVE A SMALL GAME FOR THE CASE.
WE'RE COMING IN WITH THAT, RIGHT? YEAH.
MY DAUGHTER'S IN IT, SO I'LL, I'LL TALK TO AWESOME.
DO YOU WANT ME TO CALL THE DRAGONS? THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
SAY YOU COULD HAVE HEATER AND GEM OUT.
I MEAN AN ET COULD WE HAVE A LITTLE BICYCLE RACE?
[00:15:01]
OH, THAT'S FUN.WE COULD PROBABLY, I THINK THE PD MAY HAVE BIKE HELMETS.
SO, OR WE COULD CALL DAYTON CHILDREN'S TO SEE IF THEY COME OUT AND DO BIKE HELMET FITTINGS.
UM, I ACT, ACTUALLY I CAN CALL DAYTON CHILDREN'S.
I KNOW THE PERSON THAT'S OVER THEIR COMMUNITY STUFF, SO.
SO FOR THAT OUT LOUD, MAYBE WE COULD HAVE SOME PEOPLE DRESS UP ALADDIN CHARACTERS.
I HAVE TO PUT MY THINKING CAP ON AND SEE IF I CAN COME UP WITH ANY OF THIS.
WE COULD JUST HAVE 'EM REC STUFF.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MOVIE IS, SO.
UM, AND YEAH, THEY'RE INSIDE OF A VIDEO GAME.
DO JUST TO FURTHER WITH THE DRAGONS, I JUST CHECKED THEIR SCHEDULE.
THEY HAVE A ALMOST, UH, 12 DAY PERIOD FROM AUGUST 6TH TO AUGUST 22, WHERE THERE ARE NO HOME GAMES.
OH, THAT'S SO, OH, SO THAT WON'T WORK OUT.
YEAH, THAT'LL WORK OUT IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE MASCOT THERE.
UM, WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THAT OR NO.
WELL, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE WE MIGHT WANT TO ADD TO THE MOVIES BEFORE WE MOVE ON? OKAY.
UM, SARAH DID PRINT US OUT THIS LITTLE COOL RE UM, CHART HERE.
UM, WHEN WE DO EVENTS THAT WE CAN, UM, WRITE IN, LIKE WHO'S DOING WHAT.
SO JUST SO YOU GUYS CAN SEE IT.
IS THIS FOR SOMETHING SPECIFIC? WELL, WE CAN USE IT FOR ALL OUR EVENTS.
LIKE, SO SINCE YOU'RE GONNA CALL THE B UH, YOU'RE GONNA TALK TO THE LITTLE LEAGUE, WE MIGHT PUT THAT IN THE NOTES THAT YOU'RE CALLING THEM SO WE KNOW WHO'S RESPONSIBLE AND WHAT TIME THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BY.
DO A SHEET LIKE THIS FOR EVERY EVENT.
SO, AND I'LL, I'LL EMAIL THIS OUT TO YOU GUYS SO YOU HAVE IT.
SO TOMORROW MAYBE I'LL FILL IT ALL IN AND SEND IT TO WHAT WE AGREED TO TODAY.
THAT WAY WE ALL KNOW WHO'S DOING WHAT, EXCUSE, WHAT'S OUR TIMELINE TO GET IT ACCOMPLISHED.
WE'LL MOVE ON TO NEW BUSINESS, WHICH IS THE STAR SPANGLED HEIGHTS.
AND I KNOW A LOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN MOVING AND SHAKING AND SOME THINGS HAVE BEEN PLANNED.
DO YOU WANNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT HAS BEEN PLANNED? I KNOW LIKE THE PETTING ZOO.
SO, UM, SO WE DID HAVE A LOGISTICS MEETING, UM, WITH KIND OF CITY STAFF THAT ARE INVOLVED.
AND THEN WE ALSO INVITED SHANNON AND, UM, VINCE CAME FROM THE PARKS AND REC, UH, BOARD TO THAT MEETING, JUST SO THAT EVERYBODY IS KIND OF ON THE SAME PAGE.
THIS IS THE EARLIEST WE'VE EVER STARTED PLANNING THIS.
UM, SO WE'RE, WE'RE ALL SET FOR GANGBUSTERS MODE HERE.
UM, SO WE HAVE THE PETTING ZOO ALREADY SECURED.
UH, WE TOOK CARE OF THAT EARLY.
AND SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE ALL SQUARED AWAY.
UH, THE CAR SHOW WITH THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY IS ON BOARD AGAIN FOR THIS YEAR.
SO THEY WERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO THAT.
UM, WE'LL HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE EXPLORERS, UM, TO HELP OUT WITH ALL OF THEIR STUFF AS WELL.
UH, WE'RE GOING TO ADD SOME ADDITIONAL LIGHTING FOR SECURITY, UH, PURPOSES, MAINLY WHEN IT GETS DARK AND ALL OF THAT WITH THE FOOD TRUCKS.
WE DID LOOK AT, UM, SOME PRICING FOR RIDES.
RIGHT? UM, I GUESS WE SHOULD START WITH THE PARADE FIRST.
SO IS THE CITY DOING THIS NOW? IT'S NOT US.
SO, UM, SO THE PARADE THIS YEAR IS GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL FORMAT.
SO ALL OF THE FLOATS AND, UH, PARADE PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE NUMBERS.
SO WE'RE GOING BACK TO THAT NUMBERING FORMAT.
UM, SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR, JERRY IS ACTUALLY IN CHARGE OF THE PARADE.
SO SHE'S GONNA BE MANHANDLING, UH, THE MAJORITY OF THE PARADE, UM, LOGISTICS AND, UM, SO THEY'LL BE NUMBERED.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE ANNOUNCER FORMAT AND, UH, WE'LL HAVE,
[00:20:01]
UH, HOPEFULLY LIKE A LITTLE GRANDSTAND, YOU KNOW, WHERE PEOPLE WILL GO BY AND THAT'LL BE WHERE THE ANNOUNCER IS.SO ALL OF THE, THAT'LL BE NICE TO GET BACK TO THAT.
UM, THE OTHER THING THAT WE HAVE ALREADY PUT INTO MOTION AS WELL IS THAT WE'RE HOPING TO LINE THE PARADE ROUTE, UM, WHERE IT'S BEEN A REALLY LONG TIME SINCE WE'VE DONE IT WITH AMERICAN FLAGS THIS YEAR.
SO THAT WILL BE A NICE NEW ADDITION, UM, TO THAT, TO MAKE IT DEFINITELY LOOK EVEN MORE FESTIVE THAN WHAT IT ALREADY IS.
AND WHAT ELSE WITH THE PARADE? I THINK THOSE WERE THE, THE BIG ONES.
SO I KNOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE AN ANNOUNCER.
I KNOW THAT THIS YEAR THEY STARTED HOMETOWN HEROES.
I KNOW WE WERE LOOKING FOR LIKE A FAMOUS PERSON OR SOMETHING TO FILL THAT ANNOUNCER ROLE.
HAVE WE FOUND THAT YET? NO, NOT YET.
UM, MAYBE IT'S, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO IS DOING THE HOMETOWN HEROES.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW? UH OH, THAT'S THE HUBER COMMUNITY.
ARE WE, HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT MAYBE THE HOMETOWN HERO THIS YEAR DOING ANNOUNCEMENTS OR BEING A PART OF SOMETHING SINCE THEY'RE GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, WELL, I KNOW THAT, UM, I HAD RECEIVED AN EMAIL.
DO YOU WANT ME TO READ THE EMAIL? SURE.
UM, SO IT SAYS, DEAR ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE, I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU TO INQUIRE IF YOU'D BE INTERESTED IN HELPING US RECOGNIZE WHAT WE ARE CALLING HUBER HEIGHTS HOMETOWN HERO.
WE ARE PARTNERED WITH OUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT, UH, FIRE DEPARTMENT UNION AND POLICE DEPARTMENT UNION, ALONG WITH THE CITIZENS AND BUSINESSES.
AND WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING NOMINATIONS FOR OUR HE HEIGHTS HOMETOWN HERO.
ONCE THEY HAVE CHOSEN A PARTICULAR PERSON THAT STANDS OUT, WE WILL THEN BE RECOGNIZING THEM, UH, THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, INTRODUCING THEM TO THE CITIZENS WITH A PHOTO OF THEM SHORT BIO STATING WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DONE TO WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DONE TO BE RECOGNIZED.
IT WOULD BE AMAZING IF YOU WOULD CONSIDER PLEASE ALLOWING THIS INDIVIDUAL TO BE THE SHE'S GRAND MARSHAL IN THE PARADE.
WE COULD AT THAT TIME HAVE OUR MASCOT, WHICH IS A BIG HEART, UH, PERSON IN RIDE IN THE CAR WITH HIM, WHICH I WOULD HESITATE.
I WOULD HAVE THEM WALK SINCE THE COSTUME IS BIG.
YEAH, I, I SAID SOMETHING, AND AGAIN, YOU WANT, YOU WANT YOUR MASCOT TO BE SEEN, UM, WHICH IS A LARGE, A ADORABLE HEART.
AND WE HAVE OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS WALK BESIDE THE GRAND MARSHALL CAR WITH THE BANNER IN BIO.
SO I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE THEM EITHER WALK AHEAD OR BEHIND ONE OF THE, I THOUGHT A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE WERE DOING IT.
YEAH, THERE'S A BIG, ANYBODY WHO WAS IN YEAH, THERE'S A BIG COMMITTEE.
SO, SO, UM, AND THIS WAS SUBMITTED, UM, ON BEHALF OF CINDY DAVIDSON WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THE, THE PROGRAM.
SO, SO I KNOW SHE'S DOING, THEY'RE DOING LIKE AN AWARD A QUARTER I THINK IS WHAT SHE SAID.
EVERY QUARTER THEY'RE GONNA AWARD A HOMETOWN HERO.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'LL PICK WHO THAT, I MEAN, THERE'LL BE TWO BY JULY
I MEAN, I THINK IF WE MOVE TO LIKE A NOMINATION PROCESS FOR THE GRAND MARSHALL, I MEAN, YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE RECOGNIZED.
UM, CUZ WE DID HAVE TWO LAST YEAR MM-HMM.
SO, I MEAN, THERE'S ALWAYS THAT OPPORTUNITY TO, TO DO SOMETHING AGAIN LIKE THAT.
I JUST KNOW CITIZENS ARE NOMINATING THESE PEOPLE FOR DOING EXTRAORDINARY THINGS IN THEIR COMMUNITY THAT THEY VOLUNTEER AND GIVE TIME TO.
SO I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A COOL IDEA.
BUT, UM, BUT I, I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE HAD PICKED SOMEONE YET.
YEAH, NO, AND, AND I WOULD DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, ALSO HONOR A VETERAN AS PART OF THAT PROCESS TOO, SO.
NO, RETURNING TO THIS ANNOUNCER QUESTION AND, UH, UH, REVIEWING STAN TYPE OF THING, HAS ANYBODY REACHED OUT TO, I THINK IT'S CALLED, UH, WSW, THE LOCAL RADIO STATION? THEY USED TO DO THAT.
SO WE JUST HAVE THE, THEY DID A GREAT JOB OF IT.
WE JUST HAD THE MEETING LAST WEEK, SO I DO HAVE KIND OF A RUNNING LIST AND SO I WAS GONNA REACH OUT TO, TO SEE IF THEY'D BE WILLING TO DO THAT AND IF SO, YOU KNOW, IF THERE ARE ANY COSTS, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.
SO, BECAUSE THEY DO COME WITH THEIR OWN SOUND SYSTEM.
AND, UH, THAT SAVES US AT A BIG HEADACHE.
I DO KNOW THE FIRST YEAR, I THINK I DID THE PARADE, THE COUNTRY STATION, UH, 99.1 CAME OUT AND DID THE, DID IT NANCY? I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME.
BUT THAT'S ALL UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP NOW, SO YEAH.
BUT SHE'S, SHE'S STILL DJ WILSON.
SHE CAME, SHE WAS THERE WITH HER CURRENT PARTNER THEN, AND SHE'S GOT A NEW ONE NOW.
[00:25:01]
ME FOR NOT KNOWING, BUT WHAT DO THEY ANNOUNCE WHEN WE HAVE AN ANNOUNCER? THEY ANNOUNCED EACH FLOAT? YES.THEY, THEY ANNOUNCED EACH UNIT THAT COMES THROUGH, KEEP ANYBODY ENTERTAINED BEFORE THE PARADE STARTS.
IS IT OUR JOB TO PICK THE GRAND MARSHAL OR ARE WE JUST HELPING PUT NOMINATIONS OUT THERE? WE NORMALLY DO.
I WAS GONNA SAY, IT'S NORMALLY THIS BODY THAT PICKS.
SO, WELL IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THIS HOMETOWN HEROES GROUP WILL BE DOING THE NOMINATIONS FROM WHAT I'M HEARING FROM THIS.
WELL, THEY'RE SUGGESTING SOMEONE FOR GRAND MARSHALL.
SO THEY HAVE THEIR OWN PROGRAM, THEY'RE JUST SUGGESTING SOMEBODY FOR YEAH.
WE HAVE TO MAKE THE FINAL DECISION.
SO PEOPLE FOR THAT HOMETOWN HERO, THEY LIKE YOU MIGHT PUT A NOMINEE FOR SOMEONE IN AND THEY'RE SAYING WHOEVER THEY PICK WHERE DO, WHERE DO YOU GUYS, GUYS LIKE THEM FOR GROUND MARSHALL, BUT YOU ALSO SAID WE COULD DO TWO LIKE WE DID, CORRECT? MM-HMM.
SO WE CAN HAVE A HOMETOWN HERO AND A GRAND.
AND A LOT OF CITIES DO HAVE A NOMINATION PROCESS.
SO IF YOU GUYS DECIDE THAT YOU WANT TO FORMALIZE THIS, NOW THAT THINGS ARE GETTING A LITTLE BIT BIGGER AND A LITTLE BIT MORE STRUCTURED, UM, WE CAN EASILY LOOK AT HOW OTHER CITIES ARE DOING.
THEIR GRAND MARSHALS HAVE ACTUALLY ALREADY PULLED OFF SOME SAMPLES.
AND SO WE CAN, WE CAN DO THAT.
HAVE, HAVE WE, UM, FIGURED OUT ABOUT THE FLAG RAISING? IS THERE, IS WE STILL, WE'RE STILL OUT ON THAT OR IS THAT, SO WE DID TALK ABOUT THAT.
UM, THEY'RE LOOKING, UM, LOGISTICALLY WHERE THE FIREWORKS ARE GONNA GONNA GO.
IS THAT, SO WE MAY BE ABLE TO DO IT.
THEY'RE LOOKING INTO IT HOW IT WOULD WORK AT THE VETERAN MEMORIAL.
IF IT'S NOT THERE AND THEY CAN'T MOVE THE FIREWORKS FOR SAFETY REASONS, THEN THERE WAS OTHER AREAS WE COULD DO IT IN THE PARK.
AND OUR GOAL IS TO DO IT THERE THAT DAY.
SO, YOU KNOW, DO WE, SOUNDS GOOD.
WE REALLY NEED TO DO IT IN THE PARK.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE COULD DO IT CITY HALL HERE.
UH, WE COULD DO IT AT THE, UH, WELL FIREHOUSE THERE ON BRANT PIKE.
I THINK OUR GOAL IS TO DO IT AT THE PARK THAT DAY.
IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHICH SPOT IS GONNA BE THE BEST AND SAFEST.
AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH UP TO THE FIRE MARSHAL OR, YES.
SO RIGHT NOW, SO, UH, THE WAY THAT THE, THE LAYOUT HAS BEEN WHERE THE MEMORIAL IS, IT'S NOT USABLE BECAUSE IT'S WITHIN THE FIRE ZONE, THE FIRE SAFETY ZONE.
AND SO, UH, RIGHT NOW, UM, THE FIRE CHIEF AND THE INTERIM CITY MANAGER ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO LOOK AT A FEW OPTIONS.
SO THERE ARE A COUPLE ON THE TABLE.
WHY DON'T WE GET A SPONSOR TO DONATE 125 OR $150, BUY A FLAG POLE AT SOMEPLACE LIKE MENARDS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A BIG ONE.
IT COULD BE A 15 OR 25, 20 FOOT FLAGPOLE.
AND WE, WHICHEVER TENT IS GONNA BE THE CITY TENT, WE STRAPPED THAT FLAG POLE TO A CORNER OF THE CITY TENT.
WELL, I THINK WE HAVE PLACES FOR, WE HAVE ALTERNATIVES ALREADY, BUT WE JUST, WE, PEOPLE WOULD APPRECIATE IT AT THE MEMORIAL MORE.
AND THAT'S WHY THEY REQUESTED AT THE MEMORIAL.
WE THEN, BUT THEY'RE LOOKING AT EVERY AVENUE TO MAKE THAT, UM, POSSIBLE IF THEY CAN.
YEAH, WELL KEEP MY IDEA IN MIND.
YOU KNOW, IT'S, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
I, WE KNOW THERE'S A POLE, UM, HOLDER, PORTABLE POLE AT THE BALL FIELDS THAT'S RIGHT THERE.
SO AGAIN, IT WOULD BE IN THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING OF THE PARK.
DO, DO WE HAVE SET POLE FOR POLE? YES, THERE IS A POLE THERE.
SO ARE WE STILL DOING LIKE AN ALL DAY THING BEFORE THE FIREWORKS THIS YEAR? SO, YES.
UM, THE, WE'RE LOOKING AT 12 TO EIGHT, THE ACTIVITIES, MAYBE NINE 30 DEPENDING ON WITH LIGHTING AND THINGS.
SO, UM, SO THAT'S LAST YEAR IT STARTED AT 12 AND ENDED AT EIGHT.
BUT THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A SPACE IN BETWEEN THAT AND THE FIREWORKS YES.
FOR PEOPLE THAT WANNA JUST COME FOR FIREWORKS OR PEOPLE THAT ARE LEAVING MM-HMM.
SO, BUT LIGHTING IS THE ISSUE AND SAFETY OF CARS LEAVING.
SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE LOOKING TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT THAT.
WELL PERHAPS MAYBE WE NEED TO FIND SOMETHING TO FILL THAT VOID AND JUST KEEP PEOPLE THERE.
I KNOW THERE WAS TALKS ABOUT DOING THE MAJ, UH, MAYBE THE BAND PLAYING A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
UM, MAYBE FOOD TRUCKS A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
[00:30:01]
UM, I THINK SOME OF THE FOOD TRUCKS DID END UP STAYING LAST YEAR AND THERE, THERE ARE THINGS TO DO, BUT YEAH.WHICH WAS, WHICH WAS PART OF THE DISCUSSION, YOU KNOW, LOGISTICS, WHAT TIME DO WE NEED TO SHUT THEM DOWN BY, YOU KNOW, DO WE MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS OUT? SO FOR SAFETY REASONS.
SO THAT WAS A LOT OF THAT LOGISTIC CONVERSATION WAS MM-HMM.
SO WELL ARE THE, ARE THE UH, I MEAN WE'RE NOT GONNA BE HAVING FOOD TRUCKS IN WHAT IS GONNA BE THE FIRE ZONE, CORRECT? NO.
BUT THERE'S SAFETY, GETTING THEM OUT WHILE PEOPLE ARE SITTING THERE WAITING FOR FIREWORKS TO START BECAUSE IT'S DARK.
THEY'RE START PICKING UP THEIR CHAIRS AND STUFF.
THE, THE, THE
SO BEFORE THE, THE FESTIVAL EVEN STARTS, THE FESTIVAL IS NOT IN THE FIRE ZONE.
SO I GUESS WHAT'S HAPPENING, SO WE'VE HAD IT BASICALLY WE'VE PUT THESE TRUCKS IN A LOOP, SO THE FOOD TRUCKS, SO THEY GET IN AND OUT, RIGHT? THEY'VE GOT PROBLEMS WITH PEOPLE PUTTING THEIR CHAIRS TOO CLOSE TO THESE TRUCKS OR IS THAT PEOPLE ARE COMING IN FOR THE FIREWORKS AND TRUCKS ARE TRYING TO GET OUT AT THE SAME TIME.
IF YOU'VE GOT TRUCKS TRYING TO NAVIGATE OUT OF THE PARK WHILE, WHAT'S A TWO WAY? IT'S A ONE, YOU KNOW, TWO ROAD.
SO, AND THE FIRE AND THE TRUCKS CANNOT, THEY SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING IN THE PARK AT NINE O'CLOCK.
SO THERE'S NO IN OR OUT TRAFFIC.
SO IF YOU'RE THERE, YOU'RE THERE UNTIL THE VERY END.
AND THAT MEANS FOR THESE FOOD TRUCKS, SOMETIMES 11 30, 12 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT BECAUSE THEY'RE THE LAST ONES OUT.
SO, SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE LOGISTICS ARE HANDLED IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS. WOULD IT BE SAFE TO SHUT THE FOOD TRUCKS DOWN AT NINE AND THEN THAT WAY THERE'S NO MORE INCOMING TRAFFIC AND THEY CAN JUST LEAVE? OR IS THAT TOO LATE? IT'S TOO LATE.
I THINK LAST YEAR WE TOLD THEM, IF YOU'RE NOT OUT BY, IF YOU'RE NOT OUT BY NINE, YOU WERE THERE.
SO, SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIND THAT HARD AND FAST LINE.
BUT IF WE'RE PUSHING EVENTS LATER, THEN THERE'S LIKE, THERE'S THIS GAP.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS GAP IS MANAGED.
I WAS THERE LAST YEAR, IT SEEMED LIKE A COUPLE YEARS AGO WE HAD IT, IT WAS JUST EVERYTHING SEEMED TO END ABOUT SEVEN-ISH AND THEN YOU'RE OH, I THOUGHT IT'D ALREADY GONE, ALWAYS WENT TO EIGHT.
WELL YOU HAD FOOD TRUCKS RUNNING OUT OF FOOD.
A LOT OF IT WAS BECAUSE PEOPLE WEREN'T THINKING THERE WAS GONNA BE AS BIG A OTHERWISE WE HAD A BIGGER TURNOUT THAN EXPECTED FROM COVID AND WE DIDN'T DO IT 2020, BUT WE, I THINK THIS WAS BACK IN 21 AND IT SEEMED LIKE WE HAD A BIG, TO ME IT SEEMED LIKE A BIG GAP WHEN THERE WAS JUST NOTHING TO DO BETWEEN THE START OF THE FIREWORKS AND WHEN WE SORT OF WRAPPED THINGS UP.
IT JUST, TO ME, I THOUGHT IT CREATED A PROBLEM.
SHE HAD PEOPLE WHO WERE LEAVING TO GO AND THEN WE WERE GONNA CONTINUE TO RETURN AND YEP.
SO, SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT MORE MANAGEABLE.
I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, I ASSUME LIKE THE YOUNG MARINES AND ARE GONNA HANDLE PARKING AND EVERYTHING.
ARE WE, ARE WE GONNA HAVE TO BE WORRIED ABOUT THAT? ANYTHING THERE? UH, I BELIEVE THAT EVERYTHING THAT, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTOOD, EVERYTHING THAT WAS HANDLED AS FAR AS PARKING AND ALL OF THAT WAS LAST YEAR GONNA REMAIN IN PLACE.
BECAUSE I KNOW WE DID, LIKE, WE HAD TO DO THE HANDICAP BARKING AND STUFF, WE HAD TO MAN THAT RIGHT.
AND KIND OF SORT THROUGH AND YEAH.
SO THAT, THAT WAS A ANOTHER LAYER OF SOMETHING.
BUT THAT'S BEEN A FEW YEARS SINCE WE'VE HAD TO DO THAT, SO.
ONE THING I WOULD, I THINK WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA IS A SCHEDULE LIKE WE DID FOR THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA TOO.
WHAT WILL BE AT WHAT TIME MM-HMM.
SO, UM, THEY KNOW WHAT KIND OF EVENTS ARE THERE ARE AND UM, BUT WE'LL HAVE TO GET REALLY START MOVING ON THAT.
IF WE HAVE BANDS AND STUFF, THAT'S ALWAYS HELPFUL.
AND YOU KNOW, PEOPLE KNOW THAT THERE'S, THE PETTING ZOO IS THERE FROM THESE HOURS.
DO THEY KNOW WHAT KIND OF EVENTS WE'RE GONNA HAVE OTHER THAN THE PETTING ZOO? OR IS THAT STILL BEING WORKED UP? SO WE HAVE THE BANDS, UM, THE ONLY ONE I CAN REMEMBER RIGHT NOW IS THE PARROTS OF THE CARIBBEAN.
UM, THEY'RE ALREADY CONFIRMED.
[00:35:01]
TYRON'S UH, BEEN HELPING WITH ALL THE BAND, UH, LOGISTICS THIS YEAR.UM, BUT AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THAT TIMEFRAME IT WAS LIKE, OKAY, ARE WE DOING TWO BANDS OR ARE WE DOING THREE BANDS OR ARE WE DOING TWO LONG SETS? YEAH.
SO AGAIN, THAT WAS WHY WE NEEDED TO HAVE THAT MEETING EARLY INSTEAD OF LATER.
SO HAS THERE BEEN A DECISION MADE ON THAT OR WE'RE GONNA HAVE TWO BANDS OR THREE BANDS, OR IS THAT STILL NOT YET.
NO, LAST YEAR WE NEED MORE SHADE.
SO WE ALREADY, SO I ACTUALLY MADE THAT CALL RIGHT AWAY CUZ AGAIN, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THAT DIDN'T SLIP THROUGH THE CRACK.
SO WE UM, WE HAVE THE TENT OVER THE BEER TENT AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THE STAGE IS ALREADY DONE AND THEN WE ORDERED ONE EXTRA TENT.
AND THAT'S GONNA BE LIKE IN THE FOOD, FOOD AREA AGAIN, WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING OUT ALL THE LOGISTICS SO THAT'LL HELP OUT.
YEAH CUZ THEY'RE, I DID HEAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE JUST REALLY OUT.
SO WE COULD ALWAYS ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO BRING THEIR OWN SHADE.
ONE THING THAT I REALLY LIKED ABOUT LAST YEAR, AND I REMEMBER JUST BEING THERE WITH MY KIDS, UM, I THINK THERE WAS ONE VENDOR THERE THAT SOLD LIKE THESE REALLY COOL LIGHT UP THINGS.
I THINK IT WAS JUST THE ONE VENDOR.
THAT WAS A GOOD, YOU KNOW, ENTERTAINMENT FOR THAT GAP WHILE WE WERE WAITING FOR THE FIREWORKS, THOSE KIDS HAD THAT TO DO.
SO ONE THING WE ARE ADDING THIS YEAR IS WE'RE GONNA ADD A VENDOR ROW, UM, TO ADD MORE VENDORS AND INFORMATION BOOTH TYPE OF THINGS.
SO, UM, FOR INSTANCE, LIKE IT'S A FARMER'S MARKET WEEKEND, IT ISN'T BECAUSE WE HAVE THE STAR SPANGLED HEIGHTS.
SO ALL OF THOSE VENDORS WILL BE TOLD, HEY, YOU HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF THIS AS WELL AS ALL OF THE OTHER VENDORS THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH ALREADY.
SO LIKE THE JUNETEENTH AND MULTICULTURAL AND ALL OF THAT.
DO WE HAVE THAT SIGN UP YET? NOT YET.
IT'S IN WORKS, BUT THE FOOD TRUCK SIGNUP IS AVAILABLE.
SO WE'LL HAVE LIKE A MINI FARMER'S MARKET THAT DAY.
SO NOW IT, IT'S KIND OF A OUR CALL OF WHAT WE WANNA ADD.
WELL I LIKE, I LIKE THE JUGGLERS AND THE GET KIDS, THE KIDS ON STILL AND STUFF THAT JUST KINDA WALK AROUND.
THEY'RE FROM CINCINNATI, I THINK, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF CI.
AND THEY, I THINK, I THINK EVERYBODY ENJOYS THEM AND THEY WERE ALWAYS PUT ON A GOOD SHOW.
UM, I MEAN THE RIGHTS THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR SEEMED TO BE POPULAR.
THE ROCK CLIMBING WALL WAS PRETTY COOL.
IF I REMEMBER EVERY TIME I SAW IT IT WAS LONG.
SO I, I CALLED AROUND AND GOT SOME QUOTES FOR DIFFERENT THINGS.
UM, ONE WAS, UM, A MOBILE ZIP LINE, UM OH OKAY.
AND THERE WERE LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS AND THEY GAVE US SOME QUOTES THAT WE CAN PICK AND CHOOSE FROM.
AGAIN, NOW YOUR CHURCH GONNA BE DOING THE, THE KID ZONE AND I WOULD LOVE TO DO THE KID ZONE.
OUR CHURCH WOULD LOVE TO SIGN UP FOR THAT IF, IF THAT'S WHAT WE WANT.
AND, UM, DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET, UM, WE'RE WORKING ON A LASER TAG, UM, GUY TO COME AND UH, LOOK AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE NINJA AMERICAN NINJA UH, OBSTACLE COURSE.
SO ADD SOME NEW KIDS WOULD LOVE THAT.
SO, UM, WHAT WOULD OUR BUDGET BE FOR RIDES? WE GOT WHAT? OUR BUDGET FOR RIDES.
OH WE HAVE A SPECIAL BUDGET FOR RIDES.
OH YOU'RE SAYING WHAT WOULD OUR BUDGET, CAN WE REQUEST FOR BIGGER, BETTER BUDGET FOR JUST RIDES FOR THIS EVENT? I WONDERED TOO, I MEAN TINA AND I HAD SUGGESTED DOING THIS BEFORE PAINT MARIGOLDS ON PEOPLE'S DRIVEWAYS AND STUFF FOR LIKE 20 OR 25 BUCKS AND WE COULD EVEN, OH, IT'D HAVE TO BE THAT AS LIKE AN ADDITIONAL FUNDRAISER TO GO TOWARDS STUFF.
IT'D HAVE TO BE MORE THAN THAT.
IT'D HAVE TO BE ABOUT 40 OR $50 GIVEN THE PRICE OF PAINT.
WELL WE COULD EVEN ASK BUSINESSES TO SPONSOR A RIDE.
UM, LIKE IF WE DID THE CLIMBING WALL FOR SIX HOURS FOR ONE DAY IS $2,000,
[00:40:01]
UM, WE COULD ASK SOMEONE OR PERSONAL A BUSINESS OR SOMETHING TO SPONSOR THAT.SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPONSOR THIS TODAY? AND THEY CAN HAVE A LITTLE THANKS TOO KIND OF THING THERE.
SO I MEAN WE COULD REALLY MAKE IT BIG IF WE PUT SOME TIME IN IT AND CALL PEOPLE AND JUST SAY, HEY, WE HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY.
I CAN SEND YOU GUYS THE PRICE LIST AND, AND THE RIDES THAT WE HAVE AND, AND MAYBE WE COULD START TALKING TO PEOPLE WE KNEW TO SEE IF YOU WANNA SPONSOR.
WELL, AND WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST TOO IS IF ALL OF YOU WANNA LOOK AT THESE LISTS AND MAKE A WISH LIST, IF YOU WILL, AND THEN WE CAN GO BACK TO THE COMPANIES AND SAY, OKAY, HOW MUCH SPACE IS REQUIRED? CUZ YOU'RE GONNA WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR THIS AND THEN WE CAN SUBMIT THAT TO SAY THIS IS WHAT IT'S GONNA COST TO THE COUNCIL OR MM-HMM.
YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU, I MEAN IF YOU WANNA SEND US THAT, I'LL SEND THIS TO YOU GUYS.
IT LOOKED LIKE CINCINNATI CIRCUS, UM, HAD THE BEST OPTIONS AND UM, THEY HAD IT BROKEN DOWN REALLY NICE.
WELL IF YOU WANNA JUST SEND US THAT AND WE'D HAVE TO DO THAT SOON CUZ THEY'LL YES.
YEAH, I WILL SEND IT TO YOU IN THE MORNING AND THEN YOU GUYS CAN LOOK AT IT AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK.
WE COULD JUST CIRCLE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE MAYBE.
WHAT ABOUT THE FELLA THAT DID THE HAY RIDES? HE, HE'S ACTUALLY THE, THE ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT FOR LASER TAG, HE HAS THAT, UM, IT'S A GREAT LIFE FARM.
BUT WOULD HE BE INTERESTED IN ALSO DOING RIDES LIKE THAT? YOU KNOW, JUST TAKE THOSE FEW HAIR HAY BALES ON THE BACK OF THE TRAILER AND PULLED AROUND.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE PART OF THE PARK AND RIGHT.
PEOPLE MILLING ABOUT AND WELL YOU'D HAVE TO DO IT ON AN OFF ROAD PART OF THE PARK.
AND IT WOULD HAVE TO, WE'D HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING THAT IS UNPOPULATED LESS TRAVELED TYPE OF THING WHERE THEY BASICALLY DO A LOOP AND COME BACK TO, I THINK THEY HAVE A ONE EDGE OF THE PARK WHERE HMM.
I'D PROBABLY JUST STICK WITH THE REGULAR RIDES.
THAT WAY IT STAYS MORE FESTIVAL.
CUZ YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER A LOT OF THAT PARK IS GONNA BE BLOCKED OFF IN THE FIRE ZONE THAT WE CAN'T USE.
WE WE'RE PRETTY MUCH USING ALL OF THE SPACE THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR THE, FOR THE FOOD TRUCKS.
THE, AND THE CAR SHOW'S GONNA BE, I ASSUME IT'S STILL ON UP THERE WHERE IT WAS LAST YEAR.
AND SO WE REALLY ONLY HAVE THAT BACK, THAT ONE SIDE OF THE PARK.
WELL, AND IF WE HAVE BIG RIDES AND WE'RE ADDING MORE VENDORS AND THEN WE'RE ADDING RIGHT.
AND THE BEER TENT AND ANOTHER TENT THAT'S SPACE IS PREMIUM, SO MM-HMM.
COULD YOU KEEP THE HAYRIDE FOR ANOTHER EVENT THAT YOU KNOW IS A LITTLE BIT SMALLER? ALL RIGHT.
TWO YEARS AGO WE HAD A, UH, COMMUNITY SOFTBALL.
WAS IT SOFTBALL OR BASEBALL GAME? OH, THE, THE OLD TIME BASEBALL GAME? WELL, NO, I'M, I'M TALKING ABOUT NO, THIS WAS THE CHARITY SOFTBALL.
THAT WAS WHEN ALL THE, THAT WAS WHEN THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE ALL RUNNING FOR OFFICE.
WELL AND THEN THEY PLAYED, YEAH, THEY HAD SEVERAL LOCAL BUSINESSES.
THEY MADE UP, GOT TWO TEAMS TOGETHER.
AND I'D TELL YOU WHAT, THERE WAS A LOT OF TURNOUT JUST TO WATCH THAT IN ADDITION PLAYERS.
SO HEAR GREG VOLUNTEERING TO ORGANIZE THAT.
YEAH, I THOUGHT, I MEAN IT WAS FUN AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DID WATCH IT.
I DON'T THINK IT WAS ON VERY LONG.
I MEAN, THEY DIDN'T PLAY LIKE NINE INNINGS OR ANYTHING, BUT YEAH, I THINK IT WENT ABOUT AN HOUR, 90 MINUTES, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT, THAT WAS, I THINK THAT WAS WELL ATTENDED.
PEOPLE ENJOYED IT, BUT I THINK IT WAS CUZ IT WAS LIKE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STUFF, SO SO YOU'LL MAKE THOSE CALLS SURE.
SEE IF THEY WANT TO DO IT AGAIN.
I WAS WONDERING IF WE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HAVING, UM, LIKE A HEALTH AREA, UM, OR LIKE A FIRST DAY 10 OR SOMETHING? NO, UM, OH, SHOWING RESOURCES WE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR PEOPLE, SO FAMILIES COME, THEY, THEY KNOW WHERE MASTER CLOSET IS THAT THEY CAN GET FREE CLOTHES FOR THEIR KIDS OR, UM, JUST THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
UM, JUST LETTING PEOPLE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE HERE.
UM, SO THEY WOULD BE PART OF THAT VENDOR ALLEY.
[00:45:01]
WOULD EXTEND THE INVITATION TO AWESOME.LET'S SEE IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO SET UP A BOOTH OR YEAH, I CAN REACH OUT TO GOOD IDEA.
BECAUSE I THINK PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHEN WHAT WE HAVE IN HERE.
I I THINK THERE'S LIKE FREE DINNERS EVERY WEEK.
SALFORD GROVE HAS HAS COMMUNITY DEMO PROJECT ONE HOME.
ONE OF THE OTHER CHURCHES DOES TOO.
UM, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE THINK THAT WE MIGHT WANT? OH, ON THE SCHEDULES? UM, LIKE CONTEST MIGHT BE A, A CONTEST MIGHT BE FUN.
LIKE A PIPE BAKING CONTEST OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
WE DID TALK ABOUT DOING THAT BEFORE.
AND I DON'T KNOW, WE DID LET, I DON'T THINK WE DID LAST YEAR, DIDN'T WE? NO, WE, WE DID TALK ABOUT DOING THAT LAST YEAR.
LIKE, LIKE A COOKIE BAKE OFF OR PIE BAKING OR SOMETHING.
YEAH, I WAS GONNA SAY, DOES IT NEED TO BE LIMITED TO JUST PIES? CAN IT BE, I MEAN YEAH, I THINK, I GUESS VARIETY.
DIFFERENT, WELL WE DON'T WANNA COMPARE APPLES TO ORANGES, BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO DO PICK SOME SORT OF, I MEAN I GUESS COULD BE A COOKIE BAKE OFF OR CHILI BAKE CATEGORY.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW MAN, NOT BIGGEST THING THAT IS IN TEXAS.
I MEAN YOU GO DOWN IN SOUTHERN STATES AND THAT IS A BIG, BIG THING.
I JUST THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE COULD PUT ON OUR SCHEDULE THAT MAYBE PEOPLE COULD GET INVOLVED IN.
I MEAN WE CAN THINK ABOUT IT FOR SURE.
UM, BECAUSE THAT IS A VERY, VERY STANDARD, FAIR EVENT IS HAVING LIKE BAKE OFFS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO, AND WE DID TALK ABOUT INFLATABLES, RIGHT.
UM, BUT ELECTRIC IS LIMITED, SO.
AND WE DIDN'T FALL, DID WE FALL ON AN ANSWER FOR THAT OR? IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE SHUFFLING.
MOST OF THE ELECTRIC IS ON A PARKING LOT.
THEY'RE IN DESIGNATED PLACES AND THERE ISN'T A WHOLE LOT BECAUSE IT IS A PARK.
ANY OTHER IDEAS WE HAVE FOR, I'M HIGH CONTEST WORK.
I GUESS WE JUST ASK FOR PEOPLE TO SUBMIT THEIR YEAH, YOU BRING, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PANEL OF JUDGES, RIGHT? YEAH.
YOU WOULD BRING SOMETHING, TASTE IT.
THE WINTER GETS A BLUE RIBBON OR SOMETHING.
WELL, WHO DO WE HAVE? OR RECOGNITION, BRAGGING RIGHTS, HOWEVER WE WANNA DO IT.
WELL I DO BELIEVE, DON'T WE HAVE AN ELECTION THIS YEAR? SO YOU PICK THE CANDIDATES, MAKE THEM THE OH, THE TASTE TESTERS MAKE THEM THE JUDGES.
USUALLY LIKE, THEY USUALLY HAVE LIKE THE MAYOR IS THE TASTE TESTER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT YOU KNOW, YOU PROBABLY WANNA HAVE A COMMITTEE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
RIGHT? OH, IT'D HAVE TO BE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE CUZ YOU, YOU JUST ONE THEN IT'S GONNA BE WHATEVER HIS OR HER FAVORITE IS.
I THINK WE COULD, IF IF WE, I MEAN THAT WOULD DEFINITELY GET SOME COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION.
I MEAN JUST LIKE THE LEGO THING SOUNDED WONDERFUL FOR LAST YEAR AND THEN IT KIND OF IMPLODED.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE COULD DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN.
BUT ANYTHING WHERE PEOPLE ARE KIND OF ENTERING THERE, I THINK PIE WOULD BE THE BEST BECAUSE IT'S GONNA BE HOT PIE.
CAKE AND ICING IS GONNA MELT IN.
PUT THAT MAYBE AS A TENTATIVE, LIKE THE PIE.
PUT IT AS AN IDEA LIKE MM-HMM.
I KNOW THE, UM, OH, WHAT'S IT CALLED? WE HAD A CONTEST AT THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL.
WE COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT OR MM-HMM.
BUT I THOUGHT MAYBE THIS WOULD BRING IN SOME OLDER PEOPLE TOO.
ANY OTHER, I MIGHT LOOK INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT.
I MEAN IF YOU GO ON AND SEE WHAT OTHER CITIES DO, RIGHT.
IT GIVES YOU IDEAS AND IT'S IN PENCIL NOW.
THEN I COULD BE IT'S PENCIL, THEN
ANYBODY ELSE? ANYTHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THERE? I CAN'T, I'M ALL FOR MAKING THINGS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE, SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS ALREADY.
A LOT OF MOVING PARTS ALREADY, BUT, WELL FIRST, UM, I AM CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT'S IN, YOU KNOW, WHAT CINCINNATI OH YEAH.
HAS AND, AND I THINK THAT'LL BE, YOU KNOW, TO ADD JUST A FEW OF THESE THINGS.
[00:50:01]
FOR KID ZONE, WE'LL HAVE, UM, WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE LASER TAG, UH, WE'LL HAVE A PHOTO BOOTH WHERE PEOPLE CAN TAKE PICTURES TOGETHER.WE'LL HAVE, THAT WOULD BE NEAT.
UM, AND WE'LL HAVE LIKE GAMES, LIKE WE DID THE YARD GAMES THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR.
UM, SOME PEOPLE GREGS LOOKING INTO THE BASEBALL GAME, SO, AND I KNOW, I KNOW THAT, THAT PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY EVENTUALLY, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S EVER GONNA HAPPEN, WANT THE BIG THREE DAY FESTIVAL THAT WE USED TO HAVE, BUT THAT IS A LOT.
AND YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T THINK ART COMMISSION COULD HANDLE AN EVENT OF THAT SIZE AND I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, I KNOW CHAMBER WAS TALKING ABOUT DOING IT FOR A WHILE, BUT THEY HAVEN'T, THEY HAVEN'T BROUGHT IT UP AGAIN SINCE THEN.
SO YOU HAVE TO GET MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS.
IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN THIS YEAR.
UM, LOOK AT YOU IN YOUR LITTLE NOTES.
I'VE, I'VE BEEN WORKING STUFF.
I MEAN, I, OKAY, WE'RE DONE WITH THAT.
UM, SO NEXT WOULD BE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES AND OH, I DID LOOK AT THOSE.
WELL, UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY ADDITIONAL BUSINESS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS.
THE JANUARY 17TH ARE SOME BEAUTIFICATION MEETING MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
BUT COULD I ASK A QUESTION THOUGH? YEAH.
THE MARYGOLD, IS THAT FESTIVAL STILL GOING ON? OKAY, I NEED TO KNOW SO I CAN START PLAYING.
I THINK THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY THE, YEAH, IT WAS THE 18TH.
UM, ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION MEETING MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
OUR UPCOMING MEETING IS MARCH 20TH, 2023.
AND IF NO ONE HAS ANYTHING ELSE, ARE WE DOING THE YARD BEAUTIFICATION AWARDS THIS YEAR? I MEAN, WE'VE DONE IT THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.
SO IT'S UP UP TO US IF WE WANNA DO IT AGAIN.
I THINK THE WORD GOT OUT THERE MORE LAST YEAR WHEN WE WENT AROUND.
AND WHEN DID WE START THAT? I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN WE STARTED THAT.
I THOUGHT MAY, WE STARTED A LITTLE EARLIER BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANNA WAIT SO LATE CUZ PEOPLE'S GUARDS WERE DYING.
I MEAN, WE DIDN'T DO THE JUDGING UNTIL WHAT, THE END OF JUNE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
PEOPLE'S FLOWERS WERE STILL YEAH, I THINK IT WAS MAY WHEN WE KICKED THAT OFF.
I'LL HAVE, I'LL HAVE INFORMATION REQUEST JUST IF WE CAN GET AN APPLICATION OUT IN MAY AND I'M HAPPY TO GO HOUSE TO HOUSE AGAIN LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR.
WE CAN GET HER ON OUR COMMITTEE FORWARD.
WE HAD A LOT OF FUN TALKING TO WE DID PEOPLE, IT WAS GOOD TIME.
SO SARAH'S GONNA LOOK AT THE APP DATES.
THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT MORE WE WOULD DO EXCEPT FOR PUBLISH, RIGHT? YEAH.
WE JUST PUT IN APPLICATION OUT THAN PEOPLE APPLY.
AND THEN WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR, TINA AND LAURA AND I JUST WALKED AROUND, WENT TO THE HOUSES THAT HAD ENTERED, TOOK PICTURES AND WE MADE THE KIND OF THE NOMINATIONS AND, AND DECISION
WE TRIED TO DO IT WITH PUBLIC.
WITH THE PUBLIC LAST YEAR OR THE YEAR BEFORE.
I THINK WE LET THE PUBLIC DECIDE WHO WAS THE BEST YARDS AND IT, IT REALLY WAS HARD TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, TABULATE THE VOTES AND ALL OF THAT PLUS, YOU KNOW, BUT THIS WAY WE ACTUALLY WENT TO THE HOUSES AND TALKED TO A LOT OF THE PEOPLE AND IT WAS REALLY NICE.
DO YOU STILL WANNA KEEP THE SAME CATEGORIES? I THINK IT WAS B FRIENDLY MAYOR'S AWARD AND OH GOSH, I'M DRAWN THIS A BUSINESS.
I COULD, I HAD TO THINK ABOUT THAT.
GOSH, THAT WAS GOOD CATEGORIES.
YOU THINK WE NEED A DIFFERENT NO, I THINK THAT'S THAT.
COULD WE, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
SOME OTHER COMMISSION IS INVOLVED IN THIS.
I MEAN, COULD WE TAKE SOME OF THE COMMISSIONS AND HAVE EACH, HAVE ONE OF THEM HAVE AN AWARD AND LET THEM PRESENT.
[00:55:01]
HOUSE AND PRESENT IT.WHAT DO YOU MEAN? LIKE ANOTHER, OKAY, SO WE HAVE THE CULTURAL DIVERSITY.
COULD WE HAVE A CULTURAL AND DIVERSITY AWARD, UH, GIVEN TO A HOUSE? CAN WE HAVE A PARKS AND REC AWARD GIVEN LIKE EACH COMMISSION CHOOSE A WINNER.
EACH COMMISSION CHOOSE A WINNER.
THERE'LL BE MORE WINNERS THAT WAY.
WOULD NOW EACH COMMISSION GET A WINNER IN EACH CATEGORY OR WOULD THAT JUST BE ITS OWN CATEGORY? WELL MAYBE LET THEM, LET 'EM CREATE A CATEGORY.
YOU KNOW, LOOK WHAT I NEVER DO.
THEY WANNA SAY THOUGHT OF THAT, BUT I THINK FOR THAT WE WOULD NEED A LOT MORE PARTICIPATION.
AS FAR AS NOMINEES, WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT MANY.
SO I MEAN THAT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO DO.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THROW IT OUT TO THE OTHER COMMITTEE, SEE IF THERE'S AN INTEREST THERE.
IF THEY COMMISSION ALSO NOMINATE INSTEAD OF JUST US NOMINATING, SEE, PLUS THEY'LL BE GENERATING THEIR OWN, THEIR OWN, UM, MEDIA ABOUT THAT AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.
SO THEY WOULD REACH A VERY, A WIDER, WIDER GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE AN INTEREST IN NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
JUST KIND OF KEPT HIM, I KIND OF LIKE IT.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN I THINK THE, WELL I MEAN WE PUT IT OUT THERE FOR ANYBODY TO NOMINATE, SO.
BUT I MEAN, YOU KNOW, LET THE VETERANS PICK A, I THINK PATRIOTIC LOOKING LANDSCAPE.
HAVE THE AWARDS GIVEN BY EACH COMMISSION SO THAT THEY WOULD BE, I THINK WE CAN ONLY ADVERTISE IT ON ONE, I WOULD THINK.
I MEAN, WE DON'T WANT TO LET THEN HAVE THE EACH, EACH BOARD DO A, DO AN AWARD.
THAT'S GONNA BE, I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WOULD WORK, BUT I GUESS IF THEY WANT TO BE ON BOARD WITH IT, WE CAN DEFINITELY THINK ABOUT IT AND COME BACK TO IT.
WELL I'D BRING IT UP NOW CUZ I, IT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT MEETING.
EVERYBODY WITH AN IDEA OF HOW THAT MIGHT BE.
I MEAN, I CAN CALL RHONDA AND AND VINCE AND JUST SEE WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT IT.
I MEAN, I'M IN TOUCH WITH BOTH OF THEM, SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
AND IF NO ONE HAS ANYTHING ELSE, THE MEETING STANDS ADJOURNED.
THE BEAUTIFICATION CONDITION TO GET MORE PEOPLE TO BEAUTIFY THEIR YARDS.
