[ AGENDA ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road April 17, 2023 6:30 P.M. ]
MEETING OF THE CITY HEIGHTS, CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS, ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION TO ORDER.UM, SARAH, DO YOU MIND DOING ROLL CALL, PLEASE? SURE.
UH, MR. FOX PRESENT? MS. QUINN? MS. SHELTON? UH, MS. T HERE.
SINCE WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM EITHER LADIES, UM, I WON'T ASK FOR AN EMOTION FOR THEM, IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY.
UM, DO WE HAVE ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS, WHICH WE DO NOT? UH, WE CAN TALK ABOUT OLD BUSINESS, UH, MOVIE NIGHTS, UM, AND OUR ACTIVITY PLANNING IF WE WANT TO.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY GOOD IDEAS FOR EACH NIGHT OR HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT? I WASN'T ABLE TO GET THE DRAGONS.
OR ANYTHING ANYMORE COMING OUT? OH, NO FUN.
UM, WE STILL HAVE FOR INDIANA JONES, THE GENTLEMAN CO COMING, SO.
WELL, I KNOW WE COULD DO AT LEAST POPCORN AT EACH EVENT.
UM, SO WE CAN WRITE THAT DOWN.
AND IF ANYBODY COMES UP WITH MORE IDEALS OR FUN ACTIVITIES, UH, WE CAN ADD THAT FOR, I HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST, BUT UNTIL THEY GET MORE CONCRETE IOL WAIT.
WANT TO HAVE MORE, MORE DEFINITIVE.
WELL, WE DID KIND OF TALK ABOUT HAVING LIKE A BICYCLE RACE OR SOMETHING FOR ET.
AND I GUESS WE, WE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BREAK IT DOWN INTO EIGHT LOOK DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS.
BUT MAYBE THERE'S SOME WAY WE COULD KIND OF ADVERTISE THAT FOR THE KIDS TO BRING THEIR BIKES AND WE COULD JUST, YOU KNOW, MAYBE ROPE OFF A PLACE ON THE BIKE PATH.
AND COULD I SUGGEST THAT WE CONSIDER A TRICYCLE RACE AS PART OF THAT? HUH? A TRICYCLE RACE? ABSOLUTELY.
WELL, I MEAN, WE COULD DO, THAT'S FINE.
WELL, INSTEAD OF THE KIDS BRINGING THEIR BIKES, MAYBE WE COULD BRING TRICYCLES TOGETHER AND LET THEM RACE ON IT AND JUST, I HAVE ONE AT HOME.
I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYBODY COULD, I THINK I HAVE ONE TOO.
SO WE COULD BRING, YEAH, I GUESS WE COULD HAVE TRICYCLE RACES AND ANYBODY THAT WAS GAINED FOR THE, I MEAN, EVEN IF THEY WERE OLDER, IF THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD GET THEMSELVES ON A TRICYCLE RACE, WELL, THAT'S THE BEST TIME WHEN ADULTS GET ON THE TRIKE AND THEIR KNEE ARE ALL TRICYCLE.
IF I SEE AN ADULT ON IT, I'M GONNA BE AMAZ ANYONE THAT'S, I THINK WE COULD DO THAT.
WHY DON'T WE ALL THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
I MEAN, I COULD PROBABLY GET AHOLD OF, OF SOME TOO.
MAYBE GET A COUPLE BIGGER ONES.
WHAT DO WE THINK ABOUT AT, ISN'T THERE A GROUP THAT COMES OUT AND TRIES TO FIT ON HELMETS FOR KIDS? YEAH.
DAYTON CHILDREN'S, THEY HAVE A PROGRAM, UM, SO I CAN REACH OUT UNLESS SOMEBODY ELSE HAS A CONTACT THERE.
UM, AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A GROUP CALLED BIKE.
I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT'S CALLED BIKES FOR ALL OR BICYCLES FOR ALL.
UM, BUT THEY PROVIDE BICYCLES.
THEY TAKE 'EM IN FOR DONATIONS AND THAT, SO I CAN REACH OUT TO THEM.
UM, ALSO, AND THEN ANOTHER FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
WE CAN ALSO TALK TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND SEE IF THEY WOULD BE, UM, WILLING TO DO SOME BIKE SAFETY TYPE OF THING.
OH, WHAT'S IT CALLED? SAFETY TOWN? IS THAT WHAT THAT IS? YEAH.
UM, THEY COULD PROBABLY USE SOME PIECES OF IT.
SO I CAN'T REMEMBER IF THAT'S A WEEK THAT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE SAFETY TOWN OR NOT.
AND YOU'RE GONNA REACH OUT TO BIKES FOR ALL.
WOULD YOU LIKE, UM, ONE OF US TO REACH OUT TO THE POLICE? UM, I'LL WORK WITH OFFICER LAMBERT.
I THINK ONE OF THOSE GROUPS, IF THE KIDS BRING THEIR BIKES UP, THEY'LL ACTUALLY ADJUST BIKES TO FIT THE CHILDREN.
[00:05:01]
ONLY THING I THINK ABOUT, IF THEY BRING IN THEIR OWN BIKES, UNLESS THEY RIDE THEIR BIKES THERE, FAMILIES MIGHT HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING THEM THERE.ESPECIALLY IF YOU MULTIPLE CHILDREN.
LET'S DO THE BIKES THERE AND HAVING THE, THE HELMET FITTING AND, OKAY.
WHAT IF WE FOR LITTLE GIANTS, UM, HAVE SOME SOFTBALL OR T-BALL COACHES? MAYBE TEACH ISN'T LITTLE GIANTS FOOTBALL? OH, I DON'T KNOW.
DO NOT KNOW WHEN I PULLED UP THE PICTURE.
WELL, I COULD, I STILL COULD BE WRONG.
LET ME PULL IT UP HERE REAL QUICK.
HOW COULD WE HAVE THE RECORD? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
OH, YOU'VE NEVER WATCHED R EVER? NO.
LIKE THEY'RE INSIDE OF VIDEO GAME.
RALPH IS THIS BIG LUMS AND HE WRECKS EVERYTHING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE COULD DO ABOUT THAT.
WE'LL HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
EVERYBODY BUYS A NEW REFRIGERATOR OR STOVE IN NEXT COUPLE MONTHS.
I GUESS WE COULD HAVE LIKE YES, IT'S FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL.
WELL THAT'D BE GREAT CUZ YOU'D BE GETTING A LOT OF TEAMS START PR SUMMER PRACTICE.
MAYBE WE CAN GET THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM TO COME UP AND SHOW THE BOYS SOME THROWS AND OH, THAT AND GIRLS, I SHOULD SAY.
THAT ACTUALLY THOUGH, YOU KNOW, KIDS WOULD THINK THAT WAS OH YEAH.
BIG STUFF TO HAVE THE FOOTBALL TEAM THERE.
IF WE COULD DO THAT, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
ANYTHING, THE POST, JUST HAVE 'EM THERE TO TALK TO THE KIDS AND RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, JUST I KNEW BE IN UNI UNIFORM.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE BE IN UNIFORM AND JUST BE THERE TO, OF COURSE IT'S ON A SATURDAY, SO, OR FRIDAY.
ALL OF OUR MOVIES ARE ON FRIDAYS.
SO THAT'S, DOES THAT CONFLICT WITH GAMES? ONE OF THE GAMES SCHOOL WON'T BE STARTED YET, RIGHT? OH YEAH.
I CAN MAKE A CALL TO THE SCHOOL AND SEE IF I CAN GET A HOLD OF THE COACH.
UM, AND WE CAN THINK ABOUT THE OTHER THINGS.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE SOMETHING FUN.
WELL, I SUPPOSE WE COULD GET LIKE WHIFFLE BALL BATS AND JUST HAVE STUFF THAT THEY COULD HIT.
JUST ANYTHING THEY COULD, YOU KNOW, KIND OF HIT EACH OTHER.
WELL, WE DON'T WANT 'EM HITTING WITH WHIFFLE BALL BATS, BUT IF THEY WANNA, WANTED TO HIT EACH OTHER OR IF THEY WANTED TO.
THAT'S A GOOD, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING GOOD.
IT GIVES ME AN EXCUSE TO WATCH RECORD RALPH AGAIN.
COME SO THAT I KNOW WITH I NEED GOOD IDEA.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER HAS HAD YOU WATCH IT YET.
ANY OTHER IDEAS FOR MOVIE NIGHTS? I HAVE NO IDEA.
GLAD WE GET A FLYING CARPET, SO I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
GIRLS THAT DRESS UP, BECAUSE THAT'S AT THE ILE BERG, RIGHT? ONE OF 'EM COULD COME.
IS THAT, THAT ONES WITH THE EGG.
IS IT? WHO IS? IT'S IT IBERG BERG.
YEAH, JASMINE AND THE GD AND YEAH.
WHAT WAS THAT GROUP CALLED? THE SAME ONES THAT YOU MEAN THAT WE HAD LIKE AT THE, THAT ONE ROSE MOVIE? WELL, I THINK CINDY HAD THEM, BUT THE POLICE STATION HAD PRINCESSES AND STUFF HERE ONE TIME.
LIKE FROZEN? UH, ELSA AND, YEAH.
ANNA, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE GROUP WAS CALLED.
I RECRUITED A STUDENT FOR, FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA CLUB.
BE THE, THE PRINCES AT THE LAST MOVIE WE DID.
AND THEN I THINK IT WAS CINDY GOT THE NAME, TITLE, CHARACTER, UH, MAGNI.
THAT'S, UH, THAT'S NO ACTUALLY THE PRINCESS COSTUME.
UM, I WAS JUST THINKING ON THAT WAYNE FOOTBALL TEAM.
DID THEY HAVE THE TEAM ASSEMBLED FOR THIS YEAR YET? OR WOULD WE HAVE TO GO WITH LAST? I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO.
OH, THEY'LL PROBABLY PRACTICING ALREADY.
I WAS THINKING I COULD BUY LIKE SOME FOOTBALL
[00:10:01]
FOOTBALLS AND HAVE THE TEAM SIGN 'EM AND WE COULD WAIT A MINUTE.THAT'S A, THAT'S A FRIDAY NIGHT.
I'LL, I MEAN, I'M HAPPY TO CONTRIBUTE THE FOOTBALLS.
THAT'S A FRIDAY NIGHT, RIGHT? THAT'S GAME NIGHT.
WILL THE GAMES START YET? YES.
I DON'T, THEY DON'T START THAT EARLY, DO THEY? SOMETIMES.
SO I GUESS THAT'S, THAT'S GONNA WELL, BUT EVEN IF IT'S THE JV TEAM THAT COMES.
OR YOU KNOW, P FOOTBALL OR YEAH.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT FIRST GAME.
AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO CONTRIBUTE THE FOOTBALL.
HAVE THE WHOLE TEAM SIGN THEM AND THEN JUST HAVE A SPECIAL RAFFLE FOR THE KIDS.
I MEAN, WE COULD EVEN JUST ENCOURAGE IT AS, YOU KNOW, COME AND TAILGATE WITH US YEAH.
AND, YOU KNOW, WEAR YOUR FAVORITE SCHWARTZ JERSEY.
BRING YOUR TEAM BANNER, YOU KNOW, PENDANTS AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
YEAH, I GUESS WE COULD HAVE THAT ONE BARBECUE GUY.
THERE'S, THERE'S A GUY THAT HAS BEEN OUT THERE BEFORE AND HE'S GOT A WAGON AND HE DOES, UH, WELL YOU KNOW WHAT, WE'VE NEVER HAD HIM AT THE, AT THE PARK, BUT HE'S BEEN AT, UH, CLOUD FOR ONE OF OUR HISTORICAL SOCIETY CAR SHOWS.
AND HE, HE HAS THE GRILL AND STUFF AND MAKES HAMBURGERS AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF ON THE, ON THE GRILL OUT THE OUTDOOR GRILL.
HE'S, HE'S PARKS AROUND DIFFERENT AREAS IN HUBER HEIGHTS.
I'VE SEEN HIM UP THERE AT THAT SHOPPING CENTER WHERE THE MARKET USED.
THERE'S A, THERE'S LIKE A, AND NOW IT'S A LAUNDROMAT.
BUT IT USED TO BE A FLEA MARKET.
HE USED TO PARK IN THERE ALL THE TIME.
I COULD SEE IF I CAN TRACK HIM DOWN CUZ WE HAD HIM FOR A HISTORICAL SOCIETY EVENT.
I MEAN, OR MAYBE WE INVITE COUNCIL TO COME OUT AND TAILGATE WITH US.
THEY CAN, I MEAN, WE COULD GET OUR GIRLS FIRED UP AND
IT'D BE, IT'D BE THE ONE TAILGATE THAT WE'D HAVE.
YEAH, THAT'D BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE'RE JUST GONNA STICK WITH THE POPCORN IDEA.
HOW ARE WE? YOU GONNA ADVERTISE THAT? WE GONNA, WELL, WHEN WE GET CLOSER TO, I MEAN, THAT'S NOT UNTIL AUGUST, BUT, UM, I DON'T KNOW.
WE CAN PUT STUFF OUT ON FACEBOOK.
THAT'S MAINLY HOW I THINK WE COMMUNICATE THESE SPECIAL THINGS.
I THINK THEY PUT IT ON THE BIG SCREEN.
WHAT ABOUT FOR LADDIN? WE HAVE A LITTLE CONTEST OF THEM DRESSED UP AS THE CHARACTERS.
OH, I GUESS I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING TOO.
WHICH ONES ARE AT CLOUD AND WHICH ONES ARE AT RIGHT HERE? SEE, THAT'S AT CLOUD.
IT'S JUST WE DON'T LOT VEHICLES.
WHY DON'T, I GUESS IF WE LET PEOPLE DO IT, WE DON'T WANNA LET PEOPLE TAILGATE THOUGH, DO WE? NO, WE DON'T WANNA TELL THEM TO TAILGATE.
IT'LL BE A TAILGATE ENVIRONMENT.
I'M, THIS WHOLE TIME I'M THINKING EEL BERGER, BUT OKAY.
ET WELL, AND I WAS THINKING EEL BERGER FOR ET TOO.
SO IT'S A CLOUD, SO WE'LL HAVE TO LIKE, JUST MARK OFF SOMETHING ON THE PARKING LOT.
UM, SO ARE WE ALL FINISHED MOVIE PLANNING? DONE? SOUNDS GOOD.
WE, THERE'S NOT, WE DON'T HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO, FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM.
TONIGHT THE FIRST TWO AND EVERY OTHER ONE.
WE GOT INDIANA JONES COMING FROM OCTOBER.
ARE WE READY FOR THE STAR SPANGLED HEIGHTS AND AN UPDATE? NO, I DON'T.
SARAH, DO YOU WANTED TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON MAYBE VENDORS AND, UM, HOW MANY BOOTH? HOW ARE WE ON A BOOTH? YEP.
SO, SO WE HAVE, SO THIS IS MY, MY BINDER OF ALL INFORMATION.
AND YOU CAN SEE HOW FULL IT IS ALREADY.
UM, SO WE HAVE 27 FOOD TRUCKS ALREADY LINED UP.
[00:15:01]
WE ARE GOING TO PROBABLY CAP THAT AT NO MORE THAN 30.SO WE ONLY HAVE THREE SPOTS LEFT IS, SO HOW MANY WE HAD IN THE PAST LAST YEAR WE HAD 27.
SO, UM, AND WE'RE NOW TO THE POINT WHERE WE CAN BE PICKY ON WHO'S, WHO'S THERE AND WHO'S NOT.
UM, JUST TO CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT, IT'S A GOOD VARIETY.
WE HAVE A LOT OF NEW TRUCKS THIS YEAR THAT ARE COMING FROM FURTHER AWAY, WHICH IS AWESOME.
AND THEN SO FAR WE HAVE 20 VENDORS ALREADY SIGNED FIELD AND DELIVERED FOR, UM, THE NEW VENDOR AREA.
UM, LOTS OF REALLY GOOD FEEDBACK.
UM, SOME OF THEM ARE VERY STRESSED OUT BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE PARADE AND THEY WANT TO BE PART OF THE VENDOR.
AND SO THERE'S, YOU KNOW, LOGISTICAL, HOW DO I DO THIS TYPE OF THING.
SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH ALL THOSE LITTLE KINKS.
SO, UM, AND THEN I DIDN'T COUNT THE PARADE ENTRIES, BUT THOSE ARE COMING IN.
WE, WE USUALLY GET A COUPLE A DAY.
UM, AND THAT, SO THOSE ARE LOOKING GOOD.
BUT WE'RE STILL LOOKING FOR BUSINESSES, CHURCHES, YOUTH GROUPS.
UM, ANYBODY WAS SEND ANYTHING OUT TO ANYBODY.
SO WE, WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO ALL PAST VENDORS, UM, ALL, ALL FOOD TRUCKS AND, UM, PARADE PARTICIPANTS.
SO WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO THEM.
WE'VE PUT STUFF OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, UM, ABOUT ALL OF THE EVENTS THAT THEY CAN SIGN UP FOR.
SO PUBLICIZING AS MANY THINGS AS WE CAN IN ONE FELL SWOOP.
AND THEN WHEN SOMEBODY REGISTERS SAVE FOR THE FARMER'S MARKET, HEY, DID YOU KNOW THAT THESE OTHER EVENTS ARE GOING ON? OR IF THEY MARK OR IF THEY REGISTER FOR THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL, HEY, DID YOU KNOW THESE EVENTS ARE GOING ON? SO WE'RE WE'RE KIND OF CROSS-PROMOTING WITHIN AS THEY TALKED TO MCDONALD'S ABOUT RONALD OR ANYTHING.
I ACTUALLY RAN INTO, UM, THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS PERSON WHO DOES THE SEVEN TEEN LOCAL.
SHE WAS AT THE CHAMBER LUNCH THE OTHER DAY.
UM, SO SHE AND I, UM, EXCHANGED CARDS AND SHE WAS GOING TO DOUBLE CHECK THEIR SCHEDULE IN THAT, SO OH GREAT.
BUT FEEL FREE TO STOP INTO LOCAL BUSINESSES AND SAY, HEY, WE'D LOVE YOU TO PAR, WE'D LOVE FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE, UM, IN THE PARADE AND OR AS A VENDOR.
CUZ WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME BUSINESSES AS PART OF THAT, UM, VENDOR ALLEY IN THE STAR SPANGLE HEIGHTS AREA.
SO THEY JUST NEED TO CALL CITY HALL.
UM, THEY CAN ACTUALLY JUST GO ONLINE.
UM, IF YOU GO TO OUR COMMUNITY, THERE'S ACTUALLY A COMMUNITY EVENTS TAB.
IF YOU CLICK THAT, IT GIVES YOU THE WHOLE LIST OF COMMUNITY EVENTS OKAY.
AND ALL THE LINKS FOR REGISTRATION IN THAT.
I TRIED TO STREAMLINE THINGS THIS YEAR AND THE BUSINESSES THAT HAD TO BE FROM HUBER HEIGHTS OR THEY COULD BE ALL OVER HERE.
HOW ABOUT, UH, I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, OTHER AREA BANDS LIKE BETHEL, STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO WE HAD REACHED OUT TO THEM, UM, I WANNA SAY IT WAS LIKE THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
AND IT'S, IT'S AN INTERESTING PHENOMENON WHERE THEY DON'T NECESSARILY, THEY'RE EITHER NOT PARTICIPATING UNTIL, UNTIL AUGUST HITS BECAUSE THEY'LL HAVE THE BAND TOGETHER AT THAT POINT.
UM, OR THEY DON'T PARTICIPATE OUTSIDE THE AREA.
HOW OTHER PARADES GET DIFFERENT THAN, UM, SOME OTHER PARADES PAY, SO THEY GIVE THEM A STIPEND SO THEY PAY FOR TRANSPORTATION IN THAT.
UM, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS, I MEAN, IF SOMEBODY HAS A CONNECTION TO ANY OF THE LOCAL COLLEGES THAT HAVE MARCHING BANDS, UM, IF THEY HAVE AN ALUMNI BAND, WE CAN ALWAYS REACH OUT TO THEM AND SAY, HEY, WOULD YOUR ALUMNI BE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN THINKING THE UNI BEAUTY FLYER BAND? UM, THEIR ALUMNI LIKE TO MARCH IN A LOT OF PARADES.
SO, AND IT DOESN'T COST TO BE IN THE PARADE.
IT DOES NOT COST TO BE IN THE PARADE.
WHAT DO SINGLE FLYER HAS? FREE, FREE, FREE AND LOTS OF FREE PUBLICITY.
JUST REACH OUT TO PEOPLE AND LET THEM KNOW THEY CAN REGISTER.
SO THE OTHER THING WE TALKED ABOUT WAS HAVING A SCHEDULE OF EVENTS SO EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT TIME EVERYTHING IS GOING ON.
SO, SO FAR WE HAVE THE PARADE STARTS AT 10.
THE CAR SHOW IS 11 THROUGH FOUR.
WE'RE AT THE RIDES ARE 12 NOW TO EIGHT.
BECAUSE WE ADDED EXTENDED SOME OF THE RIDES.
UM, KID ZONE WILL BE FROM 12 TO NINE.
[00:20:01]
PETTING ZOO WILL BE FROM ONE TO EIGHT.UM, THE COOKIE CONTEST, I'M WAITING FOR THE GIRL SCOUTS TO GET BACK TO ME ON THE TIME THEY WANT TO DO IT, BUT, UM, SO THAT, I'M JUST WAITING FOR THAT.
AND THEY'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT BY THE WAY.
OH, THEY'RE GONNA DO A COOKIE CONTEST.
SO PEOPLE BRING IN COOKIES THEY MAKE, AND THE GIRL SCOUTS ARE GONNA TASTE TEST AND SEE WHO MADE THE BEST COOKIE.
SO THEY'RE TAKING CARE OF THAT STUFF.
UM, VENDORS WILL BE THERE FROM 12 TO EIGHT AND THEN, UH, SOFTBALL GAME.
DID WE EVER FIGURE THAT TIME? YES.
I, WITH EVERYONE'S PERMISSION, I HAVE DELEGATED THAT TO THE OPTIMIST CLUB OF HUBER HEIGHTS AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A COUPLE PEOPLE WHO ARE SOFT WITH STITCH OF SOFT BALL BACKGROUND.
DID I SAY SOFT, TALL BACKGROUND.
SO IT, AND UH, IN FACT, UH, THEY'RE EVEN GONNA BRING IN A GENTLEMAN WHO RUNS A GIRL'S SOFTBALL LEAGUE.
SO DO WE HAVE A TIME YET? HAVE THEY DECIDED? THEY'RE LOOKING TO DO A REPEAT OF WHAT WAS DONE ABOUT TWO, THREE YEARS AGO.
AND I THINK THEY HAD EVENT RAN FROM ABOUT, I'M WANTING TO SAY TWO TO FOUR OR THREE TO FIVE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I WANT I WAS GONNA SAY TWO TO FOUR.
AS SOON AS WE CAN CONFIRM THAT, THAT WAY WE CAN LET OUR SCHEDULE GO AND LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
I'LL ACTUALLY BE MEETING THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK TO DISCUSS THAT.
THAT WAY WE CAN GET OUT THE CONTEST AND PEOPLE CAN START PREPARING.
UM, THE OTHER THING I WAS LOOKING AT, I'M TALKING TO SOMEONE ABOUT A CORN, LIKE WHOLE COMPETITION OR SOMETHING, SOMETHING FUN.
DO WE HAVE ANY MORE IDEAS? YOU KNOW, YEAH.
UM, THERE WAS AN EVENT DONE AT THE BARN.
I WANT TO THINK THAT WAS PIECE IN TRANQUILITY POND THAT DID IT, PUT IT ON BACK IN EARLY SEPTEMBER OF LAST.
WAS IT MIRACLE FESTIVAL? WE DID A YEAH, WE CORN HOLE AT MIRACLE FESTIVAL.
IS THAT THE ONE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? I THINK IT WAS THE SAME PEOPLE DID THAT AND CAME OUT AND DID ONE AT THE OH, EXECUTIVE.
SO OH, FOR THE, FOR THEIR COUNTRIES.
I WAS THINKING, UM, ONE OF THE BIG RIDES OR GAINS OR WHATEVER THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, WASN'T IT A BASKETBALL, UM, THING.
COULD WE, COULD WE LIKE, PUT OUT A CERTAIN BLOCK OF TIME AND SAY, ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO DO BASKETBALL SHOOTING, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A COMPETITION HERE, YOU KNOW, AND, AND USE SOME OF THE GAMES FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
DO YOU LIKE THAT IDEA? I THINK THOUGH, WE SHOULD FIND SOMETHING JUST BLOCK OFF OF AN HOUR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO DO IN THE EVENING.
MAYBE LIKE A, I DON'T KNOW, HORSE KIND OF GAME.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? LIKE WELL, I MEAN HORSE, UM, 303.
WHERE THEY WOULD JUST LIKE, JUST SHOOT CAUSE IT'S FREE, FREE THROW OR WHATEVER.
AND YOU KNOW, WHOEVER GETS LIKE, YEAH.
THREE OUT OF THREE OR YOU KNOW, WHO CAN, WHO GETS THE BEST SHOTS OUT OF SO MANY OR WHATEVER, KIND OF DO A HORSE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE, THE GAIN LOOKS LIKE, BUT I ASSUME IT'S JUST PROBABLY A HOOP OUT THERE THAT YEAH, SO WE, THEY SHOOT AT, WE OPTED, SO WHAT WE HAD DISCUSSED WAS THE ZIP LINE, THE ROCK WALL, THE FERRIS WHEEL.
WE'VE GOT THE SPINNING BARREL AND THE OBSTACLE COURSE.
SO WE DIDN'T GET THE BASKETBALL.
YES, WE DIDN'T GET THE BASKETBALL.
BUT IS THERE BASKETBALL? BUT YOU GUYS BASKETBALL WE COULD BRING GAMES AND I HAVE A BASKETBALL HOOP THAT, I MEAN, IT'S HEAVY BUT IT'S HEAVY DUTY THAT CAN SIT ON THE GROUND.
AND I, I KNOW SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO LEAD THAT GAME CUZ THAT'S A, THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD IDEA.
WILL WE NEED MORE THAN ONE? YOU KNOW, THE BASKETBALL ONES THAT ARE IN PEOPLE'S DRIVEWAY? YEAH.
SO IT'S HEAVY AND BIG AND STANDARD AND PERHAPS, I MEAN, THERE'D BE SOME OTHER PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WILLING TO BRING THEIRS DOWN THERE AND WELL, I, I WOULD THINK JUST ONE.
I MEAN, WE'RE NOT GONNA DO IT ALL DAY, BUT, WELL, IT WOULD BE A CONCERT YOU'D NEED FOR THE CHALLENGE OR WHATEVER.
YOU KNOW, I THINK A LOT OF KIDS WOULD LIKE THAT CUZ THEY'RE IN THE BASKETBALL.
IN THE AFTERNOON AS IT STARTED OR IN THE EVENING AS IT STARTED TO COOL DOWN MM-HMM.
AND WE HAVE A SPECIAL DESIGNATED PLACE FOR THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA NEED CONCRETE.
[00:25:01]
OH, IT DOESN'T, IT CAN GO IN THE GRASS.LIKE YOU PUT SAND OR WATER IN IT.
SO IT, WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT DOING FREE THROWS.
THEY DON'T NEED TO DRIBBLE OVER ANYTHING.
YEAH, IF WE COULD HAVE TWO OF THEM AND THEN MAYBE THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING IF THE KIDS GET IN SCHOOL UNTIL NINE, MAYBE THAT EIGHT TO NINE TIME MM-HMM.
OR EVEN DO IT FROM, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT EARLIER.
BUT, AND THEN IF WE WANTED TO DO IT FOR GAMES, I ALSO HAVE, UM, THE ONES THAT KIND OF GO IN YOUR HOUSE, THE BIGGER ONES.
LIKE I HAVE A COUPLE OF THOSE.
LIKE SO YOU THINK YOU HAVE SOMEBODY THAT WOULD WHAT? GO OVER THAT CAN? YEAH, HE'S THE COACH AT, UM, EAST STATE AND CHRISTIAN, A BASKETBALL COACH.
SO HE, HE, I THINK HE WOULD BE REALLY GOOD WITH THAT.
WHAT GROUP OF TEENS, MEN, KIND OF, HE WOULD BE REALLY SUPER FUN.
UM, ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE CAN THINK OF? THOSE ARE GREAT IDEAS.
SO WE GOT JUST THE CORN HOLE AND THE BASKETBALL AT THIS POINT.
WELL, AND THE KID ZONE WILL HAVE TONS AND THE COOKIE.
THE COOKIE KID ZONE WILL HAVE TONS OF STUFF.
I'M STILL TRYING TO COLLABORATE WITH THE LASER TAG GUY.
I'M TRYING TO GET HIM TO COMMIT AND, UM, ALMOST GOT THE TIME WHERE THE NINJA PEOPLE WILL BE THERE.
SO THAT'S THE OTHER TWO BIG ONES THAT WE'RE WORKING ON.
SO IF WE DO THE CORN HOLE, WHO IS GONNA CONTROL THAT? SO I, I WAS GOING TO REACH OUT TO CINDY OKAY.
AND SEE WHO SHE HAD AT THE MIRACLE GOLD BECAUSE HE DID A REALLY GREAT JOB.
UM, YEAH, I THINK THE ONE EVENT HE HAD SOMETHING LIKE SIX DIFFERENT COURT HOLE DOUBLE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE DOUBLE, UM, SO I MIGHT REACH OUT FOR THAT NAME.
SO WILL WE HAVE A PRIZE FOR THAT? OR IT'S JUST FOR FUN? THAT'S A RIBBON MAYBE OR SOMETHING.
I MEAN, I DON'T, I WOULDN'T, THAT'S UP TO US.
WE CAN ALWAYS, YOU GET, GET A GIFT CARD.
ASK SOMEONE TO SPONSOR THAT GAME OR CONTEST OR I'M HAPPY TO GO AND ASK.
UH, I, I KNOW, I KNOW AMATIC RIGHT OFF THE BAT, WILL, WILL DONATE A GIFT CARD.
THEY ALWAYS, THEY'RE ALWAYS UP.
ASK PEOPLE ASK THAT BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE SUPER FUN TO HAVE PRIZES AND CONTESTING.
UM, WE DID CHECK WITH THE RIDES.
THEY WILL HAVE THEIR FENCING, THEY'LL BLOCK OFF HOW MUCH ROOM THEY'LL NEED.
UM, THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS TO BE REALLY CAREFUL AND NOT HAVE ANYTHING UNDER IT IS OF COURSE THE ZIP LINE.
NOW FERRISS WILL, WILLS, I A KITTY ONE OR SO THAT A BIGGER, LEADS ME TO MY NEXT QUESTION.
DID WE GET APPROVAL FOR ALL OF THAT? DID WE GET BUDGET FOR THAT? YES.
THIS IS WHAT COUNCIL ASKED FOR.
AND SO THEY WANTED, THEY WANTED IT BIGGER AND BETTER.
AND THAT'S, SO THEY DID ALL OF THE WELL GREAT.
THE, FOR PEOPLE THAT WEREN'T HERE LAST MONTH, WE CAME UP WITH ALL THESE DRIVES, BUT WE HAD TO GET APPROVAL
SO DO WE NEED TO TALK OF ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE CEL? UM, THE 4TH OF JULY.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE REMIX GROUP.
WELL OF COURSE THE MUSIC VENDORS WILL BE THERE.
WE HAVE THE TWO BANDS THAT WILL BE THERE.
UM, AND THEN WE HAVE REMIX THAT IS DOING A FAMILY FUN PROGRAM FOR US.
SO THAT'LL BE AFTER THE BANDS ARE DONE, UH, LEADING UP TO FIREWORKS.
SO, SO THIS GROUP DOES LIKE, UM, FAMILY COMPETITIONS.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE JUST A BUNCH OF CRAZY GUYS WHO, UM, TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY AND HOW TO BE TOGETHER AND A REALLY UPLIFTING MESSAGE ABOUT HOW WE'RE, WE'RE A COMMUNITY AND WE WORK TOGETHER.
AND, UM, THEY'LL DO A WHOLE BUNCH OF GAMES.
UM, THEY HAVE THESE GIANT HAMSTER BALLS THAT PEOPLE RUN AT EACH OTHER.
AND THEY HAVE A MASCOT NAMED JIGGY THAT WILL BE WITH THEM AND THEY JUST RUN THROUGH THE AUDIENCE VERY, UH, AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION.
SO IN THAT DEAD SPOT FROM BEFORE THE FIREWORKS.
AND NOW THAT WE HAVE CONFIRMED WE HAVE ALL THESE EXTRA RIGHTS, DO YOU WANT US, YOU WANNA RATTLE 'EM OFF AGAIN? BECAUSE I, I JUST WANTED TO OH, WHAT, WHAT THEY'RE, WHAT WE GOT WHAT THE, THE, UH, THE RIGHTS ARE.
[00:30:01]
GOT THE ZIP LINE, THE ROCK WALL, THE FERRIS WHEEL.AGAIN, IT'S A KITTY FERRIS WHEEL SPINNING BARREL AND OBSTACLE COURSE.
SO THAT'S A BLOW UP OBSTACLE COURSE.
AND WE DID GO WITH CINCINNATI.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO PURCHASE TICKETS OR ANYTHING.
AND THAT WAS ALSO PART OF OUR DISCUSSION LAST MONTH.
UM, THE QUESTION WAS, YOU KNOW, COULD WE, COULD WE SELL TICKETS TO FOR THE RIDES? UM, AND THE ANSWER HAS COME BACK.
UM, SO IT'S COMPLETELY UP TO YOU GUYS HOW YOU WANT TO FOSTER THIS.
SO WAS COUNCIL ENCOURAGING THAT AS PART OF AN OFFSET DISEASE? SO I DIDN'T HAVE, I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO COUNCIL.
IT WAS JUST A, A STAFF CONVERSATION AND THAT, SO, UM, BUT YEAH, I WENT TO, WENT TO THE CITY MANAGER AND ASKED HIM, I SAID, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT SAYS THAT WE CAN'T? AND HE SAID NO.
SO IF YOU WANTED TO, WE COULD, WE COULD JUST, I THINK WE'LL HAVE TOO MUCH WORK ON SPONSORSHIPS AND LEAVE IT FREE.
I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS HOW YOU WANT AL CLAIM TO CHARGE A SMALL AMOUNT.
AND THEN WE CAN EITHER GIVE THAT BACK TO THE CITY AND OFFSET THE COST OR PICK A DESERVING NON-PROFIT JOURNEY.
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT.
I GUESS WE COULD, BUT THEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE PEOPLE MAN, THAT YEAH, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE SOMEBODY MAN MANNING IT.
AND, AND REMEMBER IT DOESN'T HAVE COLLECTING HAMANI, THE VOLUNTEERER SUPPORTS DOES NOT HAVE TO COME FROM HERE.
WE HAVE ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT EFFORTS THAT WE CAN DO IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND IF YOU'RE GONNA GIVE IT TO MULTIPLE, UM, NONPROFIT, LET THEM STAFF THE TICKET BOOTH.
WELL, I'M PERSONALLY, IF WE'RE GONNA COLLECT TICKETS, I THINK IT SHOULD OFFSET THE COST OF THE RIDES.
BUT THAT, I MEAN, THAT'S JUST KIND OF MY THOUGHT ON IT.
WHY, YOU KNOW, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
I'M INCLINED TO GO WITH FREE, BUT I'M INCLINED TO GO WITH FREE.
THAT WOULD BE MY VOTE IS IT'S LET'S OFFER IT TO OUR COMMUNITY.
IF, IF CITY AND COUNSELOR WILLING TO MEET THAT BUDGET, UM, LET'S MAKE IT A BLAST FOR PEOPLE TO JUST COME AND ENJOY, ENJOY IT AND SAY, OH, SUPER HIGH.
HEY, WE REALLY WANT TO GO TO THE 4TH OF JULY FESTIVAL.
DO WE, DO WE, SHOULD WE VOTE ON IT? OKAY.
PERHAPS WE SHOULD TABLE THAT TO NEXT MEETING AND JUST EXPLORE WHAT, WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO IN THAT.
SEE WHAT CITY PERSONNEL, WHAT THEIR THOUGHTS ARE.
I I THINK THEY, IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS.
THEY'VE MADE THE DECISION THAT IT'S OUR CALL.
I'M, I MEAN, IF THEY'RE WILLING TO COVER IT, I'M, I THINK WE SHOULD.
JUST ON TO THE COMMUNITY THING.
YOU KNOW, COME AND WALK TO THE PARK AND DO SOME THINGS.
AND WITH THE WHOLE ECONOMIC SYSTEM THAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW, I SUGGEST FOR FREE.
IT'S CUZ THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO PAY FOR FOOD AND, YOU KNOW, OTHER THINGS.
ESPECIALLY AFTER WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE BUDGET HAS BEEN OKAY.
WELL, AND AGAIN, YOU STILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY.
YOU CAN GO OUT AND SEEK SPONSORSHIPS, DONATIONS TO, YOU KNOW, DO WHATEVER.
SO, CAUSE AGAIN, IT'S A GREAT WAY TO GET THE BUSINESS NAMES OUT THERE.
AND IT OPENS TO THE TIME IT CLOSES.
AND FROM LIKE EIGHT TO 10, THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO DO, IS TO BE IN FRONT OF THE STAGE.
SO IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN TAKE AROUND THE BUSINESSES THAT SAYS ABOUT THE SPONSORSHIP, HOW MUCH IT WOULD BE OR WHATEVER? YEP.
I CAN MAKE SURE THAT ALL GETS TO YOU GUYS.
IS IT, WOULD WE USE THE SAME AS ON THE BACK OF THE, UM, YOU COULD USE THAT, BUT I HAVE KIND OF MORE OF A WE HAVE LETTERS.
ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED FOR THE SPAR STAR STARS? MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE MIGHT EXPLORE A POSSIBILITY OF DOING INSTEAD OF HAVING LIKE A PRINTED EIGHT AND A HALF BY 11 HAVE LIKE A BUSINESS CARD THING WITH A QR CODE THAT,
[00:35:01]
THAT THE RECEIVER CAN SCAN AND COME TO THE CITY WEBSITE WITH ALL OF THAT INFORMATION ON IT.SO I FEAR THAT TOO OFTEN AN EIGHT AND A HALF BY 11 SHEET OF PAPER GETS TOSSED ASIDE OF THAT BEING READ.
AND RIGHT NOW THE QR CODES ARE KIND OF A NEW THING AND PEOPLE ARE CURIOUS TO, THEY'RE ALL ABOUT THE QR CODES.
UH, THE, I'M JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE AFTER JUST THAT'S GOOD THOUGHT.
WELL, AND IT MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANNA PASS OUT AT THE PARADE.
LIKE A LITTLE CARD THAT'S GOT LIKE ALL OF THE CONTACT INFORMATION.
WILL WE HAVE ANY OF THESE TO PASS OUT? WE'LL HAVE THESE.
YOU HAVE IF IF WE GOT THESE, THEN THAT'S ALL.
AND PEOPLE CAN'T SAY WE DIDN'T NO.
BUT I DON'T, WE DIDN'T HAVE THESE LAST YEAR, DID WE? WE DID.
WE DID, DID I PASSED OUT A WHOLE LOT OF THEM? YEP.
OH, I THOUGHT WE RAN OUT OF THEM BEFORE WE DID
WE WANNA HAND ANYTHING OUT AT THE PARADE PROMOTING THE 4TH OF JULY.
THAT'S THESE OH, YOU MEAN LIKE SAYING HEY, COME TONIGHT.
SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE 4TH OF JULY, RIGHT? YEAH.
IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE NOT DONE BEFORE.
AND YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE NEED TO TELL YOU DON'T ACTUALLY, IT AMAZES ME.
PEOPLE THAT HAVE LIVED IN THIS CITY FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIVES DON'T KNOW THERE'S A 4TH OF JULY FESTIVAL.
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S A FESTIVAL.
I MEAN, I'VE GOT PEOPLE TELL ME, OH, SO MAYBE WHAT WE COULD DO IS WE COULD TAKE THE BROCHURES AND STAPLE LIKE A LITTLE, JOIN US TONIGHT, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
AND I KNOW AS A FAMILY, I HAD A BIG FAMILY.
LIKE GOING TO A FESTIVAL AND THINKING ABOUT THAT PRICE, I WOULD STEER AWAY FROM
I MEAN THAT WOULD DEFINITELY CATCH MY EYE FOR MY KIDS.
AND THEN THEY WOULD COME AS A BUDGET FRIENDLY KIND OF, OH, I'M GONNA DO THAT KIND OF MM-HMM.
AND WHAT YOU JUST GUYS SAID ABOUT, UM, HAVING PAPER, A BIG TOSSED THIS KIN THOUGHT MAYBE A BIG OLD SIGN WHILE WE ARE IN THE PARADE IS KIND OF SCARY.
SHOW THAT PUT ON THE CAR OR SOMETHING.
WE COULD HAVE A BANNER OR, YES.
IT'S DON'T HAVE TO ANYTHING SHE WANTS RIGHT IN THE CAR WITH YOU.
CINDY IS GONNA GO FIND SOMEBODY ELSE.
UM, THE OTHER THING WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IS THE GRAND MARSHALL.
OH, WE DO HAVE TO DISCUSS THAT.
AND I SAW YOUR NOMINATION AND I SAW THAT CINDY HAD A NOMINATION.
IS THERE A FORM OUT FOR OTHER, FOR THE COMMUNITY TO NOMINATE? IT'S JUST, WE'RE GONNA KEEP IT INTERNAL.
WE'RE GONNA DO AN INTERNAL THIS YEAR AND THEN NEXT YEAR WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN FORMALIZE THE PROCESS.
SO, SO DID, DID ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY NOMINATIONS THAT THEY WANTED TO BRING FORTH? I DID YOU SAY YOU HAD ONE? NO.
SO BASICALLY WE'VE JUST GOT TWO NOMINEES.
UM, I CHOSE LAMBERT, UH, OFFICER LAMBERT JUST BECAUSE OF JUST HIS WORK IN THE COMMUNITY THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.
HE'S REALLY, UM, JUST BEEN A FACE FOR THE KIDS IN ALL THE SCHOOLS.
HE'S ALWAYS WILLING TO BE THERE.
ANYTIME A SCHOOL CALLS HIM, HE'S THERE.
UM, BE B UM, MAKE IT A, HOW DO I WANT TO SAY IT? UM, JUST A, A FRIENDLY OFFICER TO THEM, LIKE MM-HMM.
UM, AND HE WAS ALSO HONORED AT THE ED HEART AND I WAS ABLE TO HEAR HIS SPEECH AND HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND, UH, WHERE HE CAME FROM.
AND IT JUST, HE INSPIRATIONAL.
HE'S AN INSPIRATIONAL GUY AND I THINK THE KIDS WILL BE EXCITED IF THEY SEE HIM IN, IN THE PARADE AND BEING HONORED AND THEY'LL KNOW WHO HE IS.
AND THAT WAS MY THOUGHT, JUST TO BE AROUND HIM WHEN HE IS DOING JUST THE POLICE EXPLORERS.
HE HAS A LONG LIST OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR SURE.
[00:40:02]
AND THE OTHER GENTLEMAN, I'M SURE YOU GUYS READ HIS BIO THAT WE GOT, HE WAS QUITE IMPRESSIVE ALSO, SO MM-HMM.BUT HE'S ALREADY BEING HONORED AS, I MEAN, ESSENTIALLY HE'S BEING HONORED AS BEING THE, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORHOOD HERO, YOU KNOW? SO DO WE, IS THIS OUR WAY OF HONORING LAMBERT INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW, I I, I GUESS I, I THINK WE HAVE TWO GREAT CANDIDATES AND IT'S JUST A, AND IT'S NOT THAT WE COULDN'T HAVE TWO MARSHALS, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, THEN IT'S KIND OF A CONFLICTING THING.
I MEAN, YOU, UM, I, I MEAN I'M, UH, I'M WILLING TO, I MEAN, I'M, I WOULD GO WITH OFFICER LAMBERT MYSELF, BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS OTHER PERSON.
BUT BEING A COMMUNITY FIGURE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW, KIND OF, I MEAN, EITHER WAY, I THINK THE OTHER ONE'S GONNA BE IN THE PARADE ALSO.
I'M PRETTY SURE THEY JUST WANTED, YOU GUYS HAVE A GRAND MARSHALL, OR, EITHER WAY, I'M LEANING MORE TOWARDS OFFICER LAMBERT.
WONDER IF WE COULD, ONE QUICK CAVEAT THOUGH.
DOES NICK KNOW HE'S BEEN NOMINATED? HMM? HAS HE NOMINATED BEFORE? NO, BUT I MEAN, HE'S OH, DOES HE KNOW HE'S BEING NOMINATED? OH, I DOUBT HE DOES.
I MEAN, HE'S, BUT THAT'S OKAY.
WELL, AND I WOULD, I WOULD SUGGEST TAKING A VOTE, YOU KNOW, CUZ THAT, THAT WOULD SOLIDIFY IT.
UM, WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE? OH, EXCUSE ME.
I NOMINATE OFFICER NICK LAMBERT TO BE OUR GRAND MARSHALL.
I THINK YOU CALL IT WHAT NOW? YOU, NOW YOU ASK FOR EVERYBODY'S DID I SAY ANYTHING? OH, DO WE HAVE ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THAT OR, YEAH.
DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE DISCUSSION? DO WE HAVE ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THAT? NO, SORRY.
CAN I, CAN I ASK THIS? CAN THE HOMETOWN HERO BE BEHIND THE GRAND MARSHALL? OR WHAT'S BEHIND, WHAT'S BEHIND THAT? OH, I HAVE NO IDEA.
I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
THAT WAY IT COULD BE A RIGHT BEHIND YOU GUYS.
YOU GUYS CAN DIRECT JERRY TO THAT.
SO REMEMBER SHE'S DOING THE LINEUP.
CAN WE SEE IF THAT COULD HAPPEN, THEN I CAN DEFINITELY ASK SECOND.
DO YOU WANT ME TO, ALTHOUGH, SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE, IT'S NOT HAVE TO SET IT IN CONCRETE TONIGHT, BUT WOULD THAT BE TOO CONFUSING FOR PEOPLE WATCHING THE PLAY? YOU GOT WATER? NO, I THINK THAT THE GRANT MARSHALL THING WILL BE ON HOWEVER YOU DO IT.
IT'S, I'M SURE THEY WILL HAVE A HOMETOWN BECAUSE THE CAR IS DESIGNATED AS, YOU KNOW, GRAND MARSHALL AND IT'LL SAY THE NAME AND THEN, AND THEN HOMETOWN HERE.
THE HOMETOWN HERO IS ADVERTISED AS HOMETOWN HERO FOLLOWING GRAND MARSHALL.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO HAVE OFFICER LAMBERT AS THE GRAND MARSHALL FOR THE 4TH OF JULY PARADE.
CONGRATULATIONS OFFICER LAMBERT, YOU ARE AN AMAZING OFFICER AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE.
AND I MIGHT SUGGEST, THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION, MAYBE BUYING A HUNDRED BOOKS OR SOMETHING AND HAVING HIM PASS THEM OUT DURING THE PARADE, THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THE BOOKS COST, BUT IF WE COULD FIND THAT OUT, I WOULD, I WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THAT.
I CAN GET, I CAN GET DONATIONS FOR THAT.
THAT GETS YOU A, OH GOSH, I'M SENIOR MOMENT HERE.
I'M FORGETTING HOW MANY BOOKS THAT GETS YOU, BUT, OH, YOU GET A CERTAIN NUMBER THAT ARE SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR AND THEN A EQUAL NUMBER THAT ARE UNSIGNED.
BUT I THOUGHT IF HE WAS JUST IN THE, YOU KNOW, IN THE BACK OF A CONVERTIBLE OR SOMETHING, HE COULD OH, SUPER FUN.
CALL SOME KIDS UP AND, I MEAN, CAN'T GIVE HIM EVERY ONE OF 'EM, BUT, WELL, WE CAN, THEY WOULD FEEL SPECIAL TO GET, WELL LET'S ASK FOR
[00:45:01]
PEOPLE WE KNOW FOR DONATIONS TO BUY A BOOK OR TWO OR FIVE OR 10.DO I HAVE, I CAN ASK OFFICER LAMBERT.
ASK HIM WHAT THE COST IS AND THEN WE'LL KNOW WHAT WE'RE WORKING WITH AND I'LL, I'LL CANVAS SOME DONATIONS.
I DOT KNOW AT ONE POINT IF FOR A THOUSAND DOLLARS YOU COULD HAVE A, ACTUALLY HAVE SOMEONE AS A CHARACTER IN THE BOOK
SO SHANNON, ARE YOU GOING TO SEND HIM A LETTER? YOU GONNA GIVE HIM A CALL? LIKE HOW ARE WE GONNA MAKE IT OFFICIAL? OH, IT'S OFFICIAL.
SHOULD WE DO A LETTER OR SHOULD WE JUST CALL HIM? LET'S CALL HIM RIGHT NOW.
WE COULD SPOT, LIKE I SAID, HE'S PROBABLY AT HOME WATCHING
DO YOU WANT TO READ IT? I'M A GIFT LETTER BINDER.
SO ANOTHER SUGGESTION WOULD ALSO BE TO INFORM THE MAYOR.
SO HE CAN DO AN OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION.
SO IF YOU ALSO WANT TO REACH OUT TO SYDNEE ABOUT, OR NOT SYDNEY, CINDY, ABOUT THE HOMETOWN HERO.
WE CAN DO THE SAME THING AS WELL.
SO DO I JUST MESSAGE THE MAYOR ON LIKE EMAIL? OR YOU CAN CALL TONY.
OH, THEN I'LL
BECAUSE THEN THAT KIND OF KICKS EVERYTHING OFF.
WE HAVE SOME AMAZING PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE PARADE OR THE 4TH OF JULY BEFORE WE MOVE ON? YES.
I KNOW OUR GROUP ARE DOWNSIZING.
HAVE WE SET UP A SCHEDULE OR, YOU KNOW, CAUSE SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, IT'S AN EARLY MORNING EVENT VERSUS NICE EVENT, NIGHT EVENT.
DO WE HAVE A SCHEDULE YET? BUT YOU SAID WE HAVE LOTS OF VOLUNTEERS TOO, RIGHT? WE DON'T, WELL, WE GOING AS FAR AS THE OURS WORKERS ARE.
SO THE, THE GOAL THAT I HAVE, UM, IS I'M GONNA BE DOING A PUSH FOR VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT.
I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH A FEW OF MY CONTACTS AT UNITED WAY, UM, AS WELL AS THE SCHOOLS AND LETTING THEM KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT SOME VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES AND KIND OF STRUCTURING THOSE AND THEN ALSO WORKING WITH HR ON THE LIABILITY AND, YOU KNOW, ALL THE BEHIND THE SCENES STUFF THAT PEOPLE ALWAYS FORGET ABOUT.
SO WE'LL, UH, WE'LL HAVE MORE DETAILS OF THAT COMING SOON.
BUT MORE AND MORE OR LESS THE PARADE.
EVERYBODY THAT'S ON THE BOARD HAS TO BE AT THE PARADE.
AND JERRY, I WILL BE AT THE 4TH OF JULY THING PRETTY MUCH ALL DAY.
I MEAN, I CAN COME TO THE PARADE AND HELP SET UP, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL STAY WHILE WE GO THROUGH IT JUST BECAUSE, UM, DEPENDING ON WHO, WHAT CREW I HAVE.
I ALTERNATE MY, UM, MY FOURTH OF JULYS.
I'LL BE, I'LL BE THERE ALL DAY BECAUSE, AND I THERE TOO, HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
SO I'LL BE AT THE PARADE, THEN I'LL WORK THE CAR, SHOW THE HORSE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, THEN I'LL BE BACK ARTS COMMUNICATION AFTER FOUR
LIKE, I'LL BE WEARING, LIKE I DID LAST YEAR, A B IDENTIFICATION, T-SHIRTS, ET CETERA.
WHAT ABOUT OUR SHIRTS? ARE WE SOMETHING BEFORE THE 4TH OF JULY? I WAS GONNA ASK YOU GUYS ABOUT THE SHIRTS.
DO YOU GUYS HAVE A PREFERENCE ON WHAT YOU WANT? I WOULD PREFER A BUTTON UP BOX.
I THINK THE SHIRT, I MEAN, I, I I THE LIKE YOU HAVE THE, THAT BLUE SHIRT YOU HAD WITH THE I LIKE THAT.
WELL, NO, WHAT I'M SAYING THAT IT'S A LITTLE MORE PROFESSIONAL.
IT HAS TO BE A CHECK POCKET, A CHECK A, A CHEST POCKET FOR US OLD FOLKS THAT WEAR HAVE TO WEAR OUR HATERS.
I I THOUGHT THE SHIRTS WERE, UM, I LAUGHED BECAUSE OF THE COLOR FOR OUR MEN LAST YEAR.
SO WE'LL BE GIVING NEW T-SHIRTS FOR THE PART.
WELL, YEAH, I MEAN, IF YOU GUYS WANT COLLAR SHIRTS OR IF YOU WANNA DO T-SHIRTS.
I MEAN, I LIKE, WOULD I LIKE THOSE SHIRTS? YEAH.
I MEAN LIKE PARKS AND REC, THEY HAVE A, YOU KNOW, OKAY.
WE CAN WEAR THAT TO EVERYTHING.
AND DO YOU WANT A HELLO COLOR OR DO YOU WANT WELL, AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY'VE ALWAYS PUSHED WAS THAT WE WERE ALWAYS GONNA BE IN RED.
[00:50:01]
RED IS A VERY DIFFICULT COLOR WHEN YOU'RE STANDING OUT IN HOT SUN, WHICH WE SEEM TO DO MORE OF THAN ANYBODY ELSE.UM, SO I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW COLOR.
WE'RE NOT LOCKED INTO THE RED.
THEN HOW ABOUT BLUE? BUT DEFINITELY A LIGHT COLOR.
SO WE COULD EASILY BE RECOGNIZED IN CASE PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONS DURING THE EVENTS.
DO ANY OF THE OTHER BOARDS HAVE LIGHT BLUE? I DON'T THINK SO.
OR PERHAPS MAYBE A BUTTER TOWEL.
THAT WOULD BE MY, I GUESS I LIKED WHEN WE HAD STAFF ON THE BACK OF IT THEN PEOPLE KNEW WHO MOST DEFINITELY.
WE WANT THOSE, WE WANT MORE PROFESSIONAL.
WE HAVE OUR, WE HAVE OUR BATCHES.
WE'RE GONNA BE OUT IN THE HOT SUN.
WE'RE NOT GONNA WANT A DARK COLOR LIKE BLACK.
I MEAN WELL THAT'S WHAT I SAID, LIGHT BLUE, NOT BLACK.
IF NOBODY'S BUTTER, BUTTER IS COLOR IS EXACTLY LIKE THE, LIKE A BUTTER.
YOU GOT, HE SAID BUTTER COLOR BUTTER.
IT'S NOT WHITE SO I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU AREN'T, AND LOOK, SO YOU WANT LIKE A CREAM, LIKE A CREAM COLOR? YEAH.
I KNOW WHEN I'VE BEEN SHOPPING, IF YOU TRY TO FIND CREAM, YOU CAN'T FIND IT.
YOU PUT IN BUTTER IN LIKE AN INFINITE NUMBER OF OPTIONS POP UP.
AND I NOT, I'M GUESSING NOT YELLOW.
YOU, YOU PUT IN YELLOW WHEN YOU'RE GONNA, YOU'RE GONNA, I MEAN WHATEVER ON STUFF.
I THINK THE RED CAME FROM IT WAS OUR IDENTIFYING COLOR FOR THE BOARD, YOU KNOW, FOR OUR COMMISSION.
I I DON'T KNOW IF THAT, IF WE HAVE TO KEEP THAT, IF WE DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP THAT, THEN ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S AVAILABLE.
UNLIKE, WELL ORIGINALLY WHEN IT WAS A COMMITTEE THE COLORS WERE GREEN AND WHITE BECAUSE PARKS AND REC, THEY HAVE BAT TAN.
AND THEN I THINK MILITARY AND VETERANS IS A DARK BLUE.
I'LL PULL UP SOME OPTIONS FOR BUTTER.
YOU KNOW, I'LL SEE WHAT COLORS ARE OUT THERE.
ANOTHER ADVANTAGE TO A COLLARED SHIRT, IF YOU START TO FEEL LIKE YOUR NECK IS GETTING SUNBURNED, YOU CAN ROLL THE COLLAR UP AND PROTECT YOUR NECK.
THAT'S ANOTHER BENEFIT WITH IT.
WELL AND THESE SHIRTS ARE NICE.
I MEAN I WEAR, IT'S IN THE FARMER'S MARKET, SO.
AND IT'S SUITABLE FOR EV EVERY EVENT.
I JUST KNOW WHITE WILL NOT STAY WHITE.
SO,
WILL WE HAVE A BOOTH AT THE 4TH OF JULY THAT WE'LL HAVE TO, MAN, WE NORMALLY DO INFORMATION, SO I'M THINKING WHAT WHAT WE'LL DO IS I THINK THAT THAT WILL BE LIKE A ROTATING INFORMATIONAL BOOTH FOR THE CITY SO THAT THE VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS CAN KIND OF FLOW IN AND OUT AND EVERYBODY CAN HELP OUT.
I JUST, WHAT I THINK WE DID LAST YEAR, CAUSE WE HAD SOME FROM THE MULTICULTURAL NEWS.
SO WE CAN SCHEDULE THAT, THAT WAY NOT EVERYBODY HAS TO STAY UNTIL OUR BIGGEST PORTION IS THE PARADE.
AND THEN SOME OF US WILL BE AT THE, BECAUSE THEY SAID SOME OF US ARE GONNA BE AT THE MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL, LIKE HOPEFULLY THEY CAN RETURN THE FAVOR.
SO BASICALLY YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS TO WORK ALL DAY.
SO, I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE TO
LIKE I'M GONNA BE, ME AND SARAH WILL BE HANGING OUT
YOU GUYS WILL BE WORKING ALL DAY.
I LOVE BEING THERE AND SEEING ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CHARGES ME UP.
ONE QUESTION, DO WE HAVE LIKE A NUMBER OR GUESSTIMATE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOW UP THAT I OF JULY EVENT IS, THERE'S NO RIGHT WAY TO TELL, SO THERE'S NO REAL WAY TO TOTALLY COUNT.
BUT UM, AND THAT IS, THAT IS ONE OF MY BIGGEST THINGS CUZ I'M A, I'M A STAT PERSON.
UM, CUZ THAT'S WHERE WE GET OUR RETURN.
UM, SO WE WILL HAVE A TRAFFIC COUNTER LIKE WE DID, I THINK IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO.
UM, AND THAT GIVES US ONLY THE NUMBER OF CARS THAT COME IN MM-HMM.
BUT IF YOU KIND OF GUESSTIMATE FOUR TO SIX PEOPLE IN A VEHICLE MM-HMM.
I'M GONNA TRY AND TALK TO FIRE AND SEE IF WHEN THEY RUN THE DRONE UP, THAT IF THEY'RE ABLE TO DO COUNTS THAT WAY.
I HAVEN'T HAD THAT DISCUSSION YET.
[00:55:01]
ABLE TO.THEY WERE ABLE TO DO THAT LAST OCTOBER WHEN, UH, THE COMMUNITY DID THE, UM, TRUNK RETREAT DOWN THERE AT THE PARK, THEY ACTUALLY KNEW THAT THERE WAS AN EITHER JUST UNDER OR JUST OVER 2000 PEOPLE.
BECAUSE THEY ALL FUNNELED THROUGH ONE LINE.
LIKE THEY WOULD FUNNEL, LIKE THEY HAD THEM ALL LINED UP.
I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL DONE WITH THE DRONE.
OH, I, YOU KNOW, I I GUESS I SHOULDN'T HAVE SPOKE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST CUZ THEY WERE FUNNELED IN.
THEY'VE, THEY'VE, YOU HAVE A FUNNEL, IT, IT'S EASY TO COUNT.
SO BECAUSE WHAT WE WANNA DO, UH, WITH THIS BUDGET THAT WE HAVE NOW, YOU KNOW, IS IF, IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, SHOULD WE SUSTAIN THIS BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR OR DO WE HAVE TO DECREASE IT? RIGHT.
SO WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT I'M A STATS PERSON TOO.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO HAVE A BALANCE.
THAT'S WHY WE GET ALONG SO WELL.
WELL LAST YEAR OUR CHURCH GAVE UH, LIKE A FREE, FREE DOOR PRIZE FOR EVERY PERSON THAT CAME TO OUR BOOTH.
AND WE RAN OUT AT A THOUSAND, SO OH.
UM, AND NOT EVERYBODY CAME TO KIDS ZONE.
SO THAT'S HOW WE KIND OF MEASURED OUR ATTENDANCE.
I MEAN THAT'S JUST THE KIDS THAT CAME TO OUR BOOTH.
SO, AND THEN IF WE ADVERTISE FREE RIDES, I'M SURE THAT'S GONNA BE, YEAH.
THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE LAST YEAR FOR SURE.
UM, AND WE'LL DO THE SCHEDULE ONCE WE FIND OUT HOW THE TENTS, IF SOMEBODY OKAY.
WILL LET US KNOW WHAT HOUR WE HAVE.
WERE WE ABLE TO GET OUR TENTS AND EVERYTHING FOR THE BEER GARDEN AND YES.
SO THE CONDITIONS SHADE IN THE FOOD AREA.
WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LAYOUT'S GONNA BE YET.
OH, I, THAT, THAT I DID HEAR YOU SAY ABOUT THE FLAG RACING.
WE'RE, WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THAT? MORE DETAILS TO COME STILL, STILL NOT DECIDED, TOM.
SO WHEN IS THEIR DEADLINE TO MAKE THAT DECISION? UM, THAT IS MY QUESTION.
SO I GUESS IT'S STILL LEANING TOWARDS A, PARDON THE PUN, LEANING TOWARDS A PORTABLE FLAGPOLE AS AN OPTION.
WELL OUR NEXT ITEM IS THE MARIAL FESTIVAL, WHICH WILL BE COMING UP SOON.
UM, WE DO HAVE SOME VENDORS AND FOOD TRUCKS ALREADY.
WHAT WAS THE DATE ON THAT ONE? SEPTEMBER.
IT'S ON THE, IT'S ON, ON THE SCHEDULE MAY, UH, SEPTEMBER 9TH.
WE HAVE, UM, ONE CONFIRMED FOOD TRUCK AND A HANDFUL OF VENDORS SO FAR.
UM, SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE COMING IN ON A REGULAR BASIS.
SO THAT'S JUST, THAT'S STILL EVERYBODY'S THINKING ABOUT 4TH OF JULY.
BUT AGAIN, IT'S, YOU KNOW, CROSS PROMOTING ALL THE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL AND THE JUNETEENTH THING AND FARMER'S MARKET.
SO THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL WAS VERY NICE LAST YEAR.
THE VENDORS LOVED THE LAYOUT LAST YEAR, UM, AND HOW THAT WAS SET UP.
SO, AND THE GRASS AND ALL REALLY WELL.
SO I THINK THAT THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO, TO CONSIDER.
IS IT GETTING TO THE POINT IT'S GETTING BIGGER THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO MOVE IT TO CLOUD PARK SOMETIME.
I KNOW PARKING IS THE BIGGEST THING FOR THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL.
BUT WE CAN PROBABLY ALL, UM, NO, IT'S THE SAME FESTIVAL WHEN WE HAD THE, UM, THE VENDORS.
WE USE SOME OF THE PARKING SPACE YEAH.
OTHER SIDE TO HELP WITH THE VENDORS.
PARKING IS A, IS A NIGHTMARE THERE.
AND I MEAN THAT TINA WILL ATTEST TO IT.
IT'S, IT'S REALLY A, IT'S A ALL DAY JOB TRYING TO KEEP THE PARKING AND WE, WE RAN OUT OF SPACE A COUPLE OF TIMES.
I MEAN, IT DOESN'T TAKE VERY LONG FOR IT TO TURN OVER, BUT MM-HMM.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WAS IN THE WORKS AS WE GROW.
AND I KNOW LAST YEAR WAS BIGGER THAN IT HAD BEEN IN A WHILE.
AND I MEAN, I, I WOULD THINK THAT CLOUD WOULD BE A PERFECT PLACE FOR IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'VE NOT HAD IT THERE.
I THINK THEY, INITIALLY THEY WERE
[01:00:01]
LOOKING FOR USES FOR EEL, BERGER.BECAUSE PARKING IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE THERE.
PEOPLE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHERE TO GO AND RIGHT.
IT'S, IT IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE WE CAN DEFINITELY, SO THIS WOULD BE A 2024 MOVE.
BUT ALL THAT BEING SAID, I'LL WORK PARKING
WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHY WE CAN'T HAVE, WHAT ARE THE, WE NEED SHIFTS TOO.
YEAH, THEY DO THE ST THEY USED TO DO THE ST.
THEY USED TO, WELL, I SAW PETER.
WE JUST DIDN'T GET 'EM LINED UP IN ADVANCE LAST YEAR WAS THE PROBLEM WE DIDN'T HAVE.
SO WHEN YOU CALL NICK, YOU MIGHT DROP THE
NO, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, JUST GO AHEAD AND GET THE EXPLORERS FOR HEART EVENT INSTEAD OF OH, I CAN ASK RIGHT AWAY.
UM, SO WE COULD START THINKING ABOUT A SCHEDULE AGAIN.
UM, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS HELPFUL FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW.
WHAT TIME EVERYTHING IS RIGHT.
WHAT WORKED LAST YEAR ONCE WE GOT ALL OF OUR VENDORS AND EVERYBODY LINED UP AND YEAH.
WAS THAT GO WELL? THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL, WE HAD A SKETCH BOOK.
I CAN'T REMEMBER ALL THE CONTESTS AND I KNOW WE HAD A CORN HOLE.
WE HAD, WELL THE BRICK, THEY DID LEGO SOMETHING LIKE WE DIDN'T END UP DOING THAT, SO.
AND IT WAS GOOD HAVING DIFFERENT THINGS ON THE STAGE ALSO.
SO WE DO HAVE, UM, UH, WHO IS IT? SORRY, I THOUGHT I HAD IT ON TOP OF MY HEAD.
WE HAVE THE MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER BAND.
UM, SO THEY'RE ALREADY, UH, CONTRACTED TO DO MUSIC.
AND THEN, UM, WE'RE REACHING OUT TO THE MAGICIAN, THE COMEDIC MAGICIAN WE HAD LAST YEAR CAUSE EVERYBODY LOVED THAT, SO.
UM, I'VE GOT KAI WORKING ON REACHING OUT TO HIM TO SEE IF HE'D BE AVAILABLE OKAY.
AND THEN HE HAD AL ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE WARRIOR ATS MAY DO LIKE A DEMONSTRATION AND THEN LIKE A LITTLE TRAINING CAMP TYPE OF THING.
UM, ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL? ANY, ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO DISCUSS TONIGHT? WHAT DOES, UM, THE FLOWERS OVER THAT WAY? THE WHAT? FLOWERS OR, I'M JUST WONDERING IF WE COULD JUST DO SOME MARIGOLDS AROUND PLANT THEM, SO, OH, UM, WELL THAT WAS THE PARKS OR SOMETHING.
THE PUBLIC WORKS THAT DOES THE FLOWERS, YOU KNOW, LIKE GOING UP TO THE Y MM-HMM.
MY WHOLE YARD'S GONNA BE MARIGOLD POTS
WE HAVE A NEW FLOWER SHOP TOO.
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ASK IF THEY LIKE TO DONATE SOME MIRACLES.
UM, THEY JUST OPENED NOT TOO LONG AGO.
OH REALLY? I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.
I MET HER AT THE OH, UH, THE HUBER HEIGHTS FLORAL, UH, THEY'RE IN THE PLAZA.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WOULD HAVE MARIGOLDS THOUGH.
THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET SOME, YEAH.
SHE'S VERY INTERESTED IN BEING IN THE, WORKING IN THE COMMUNITY.
SO, UM, WE HAD A CHAT, SO I, I JUST SAW HER LITTLE VIDEO IT KEEPS POPPING UP ON.
THERE IS SO MUCH THAT GOES ON ON FACEBOOK.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR, UH, VOLUNTEERING TO MAKE, DO THE FLOWERS FOR THE FER GOLD MIRACLES.
WHATEVER YOU NEED YOUR FLOWERS.
THEY GREW REALLY WELL FROM THOSE SEEDS.
THOSE, I MEAN THEY WERE, I SAVED ALL MY SEEDS.
YOU KILLED ALL I DID MEAN YOU.
[01:05:01]
MY MIRACLES, BUT I SAVED YOUR SEEDS.MAYBE WE CAN DO LIKE A MIRACLE GOLD CONTEST.
WHOEVER MAKES, I DON'T KNOW HOW BIG MAR GOLDS GROW OR YEAH.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? WE CAN MAKE THAT A CONTEST AND EVERYBODY BRINGS THEIR MAYOR GOLD SO IT ADDS MORE TO THE MIRACLES.
HELL DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WOULD GO OVER.
I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE WOULD DO IT OR NOT.
ANYBODY ELSE DO? I MEAN, I JUST, FOR FUN, PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO WORK IN THEIR GARDEN, THEY WOULD DO IT.
HAVING A CONTEST, THAT'S KINDA, YEAH.
AND MAYBE PEOPLE BRING IT AND THEY DO THAT A LOT AT FAIRS.
WHO HAS THE BIGGEST, YOU KNOW, PUMPKINS AND RIGHT.
ARE WE GONNA PUT MARIGOLDS IN THE PLANTERS AT THE POLICE AND OOH, I WAS JUST READING OUT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW HARD MAR WELL, I CAN'T GROW MARIGOLDS APPARENTLY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW HARD THEY ARE TOO.
BUT BEING PLANTERS, DO YOU WANT ME TO DO THE POTS? MM-HMM.
AS, AS YOU ALL KNOW, NOTICE THE PLANTERS ARE EMPTY.
SO, UM, AND I KNOW THAT WAS ONE OF THE INITIATIVES THAT YOU GUYS HAD STARTED WAS GETTING THE PLANTERS FOR THE TWO BUILDINGS.
DO WE PAY FOR THAT OR HOW'S THAT WORK? UM, SO IT CAN BE A COMBINATION BETWEEN, UH, PARKS AND, YEAH, WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.
I THINK, YEAH, ONE YEAR JERRY JUST WENT AND BOUGHT LIKE UP TWO LOWE'S AND BOUGHT A COUPLE OF, AND BOUGHT SEVERAL PLANTER, LIKE HANGING PLANTERS AND JUST THROW A LOT.
I MEAN, I'VE WILLING TO DO IT LAST VERY LONG, SO I'M WILLING TO CLASS TO DO IT.
I'M JUST ASKING, DO I GET A BUDGET FOR THAT TO GO GET THE FLOWERS OR WE CAN.
IF YOU DO SO, AND THEN IF YOU GUYS WANT TO TAKE TURNS IN, YOU KNOW, WATERING THEM AND MANAGING 'EM AND ALL THAT, CUZ IT'S OUTSIDE.
LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE PLENTY OF DIRT, SO.
UM, YEAH, I, I'M HAPPY TO HAVE ONE.
UM, YEAH, WELL SOMEBODY DOESN'T HAVE TO DO 'EM ALL, ALL SUMMER.
WELL, MY DAUGHTER'S MOVING OVER THIS WAY OFF A BUCK BIN, SO I'LL BE OVER THIS WAY A LOT.
SO
IF THERE IS A HOSE, THAT WOULD MAKE LIFE A LOT EASIER.
BUT I, YEAH, WHEN I'VE HAD, WHEN I'VE WATERED 'EM BEFORE AND USUALLY I ONLY DO IT IF JERRY'S LIKE ON VACATION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT, UM, YEAH, I WAS BROUGHT, HAD TO BRING BIG JUGS OF WATER WITH ME.
I'M GLAD YOU PLATINUM COME OVER.
WHOLE PLANTER WOULD GET WASHED AWAY.
SO TINA'S GONNA FIND SOME PRETTY FLOWERS FOR THE PLANTERS.
THE OTHER NEW BUSINESS IS OUR YARD BEAUTIFICATION.
THAT'S, WE NEED TO START THAT FOR SURE.
UM, ARE WE IN AGREEMENT THAT THE AWARDS AND THE WAY WE HAD 'EM TITLED IS GOOD AGAIN FOR THIS YEAR? I THINK IT WAS THE MAYORAL AWARD.
BE FRIENDLY, BE FRIENDLY AND NICE.
THE BUSINESS, THE BE BUSINESS FRIENDLY BUSINESS.
AWARD WHEN DID WE THAT LAST YEAR? JULY.
DID WE AWARD? DID WE WE OPENED IT UP LIKE STARTING IN JUNE, DIDN'T WE? SO TECHNICALLY IT'S OPEN CUZ ALL THE INFORMATION'S ON THE WEBSITE.
UM, AND THEN IT, THE JUDGING WAS AT THE END OF YEAH, I THINK IT'S LIKE THE END OF JULY, SO MM-HMM.
I THOUGHT WE DID IT EARLIER BECAUSE EVERYTHING GETS HOT AND DIES.
THINK WE DID IT EARLIER LAST NIGHT IN JUNE.
I THOUGHT, I THOUGHT WE DID TOO.
UM, BUT WHEN OF JUNE, 1ST OF JULY.
WHEN ARE WE NOT GONNA TAKE NOMINATIONS? IS THAT ON THERE TOO? WE DID IT LAST JUNE.
LIKE PEOPLE NOMINATE ADDRESSES, RIGHT? SOME PEOPLE DID.
[01:10:01]
AND THEN YOU GUYS WENT TO SEE THE ADDRESSES.YEAH, WE WENT OUTSIDE, BUT I THOUGHT WE JUST WENT TO ANYBODY THAT ENTERED THE THE, THAT LAST YEAR WE DIDN'T TAKE NOMINATIONS.
I THINK WHOEVER, WHOEVER, WHOEVER ENTERED THE, THE COMPETI COMPETITION THEMSELVES, WE JUST DROVE BY THE, WE JUST DROVE BY AND LOOKED AT THEIR HOUSE.
CARL WENT BY AND LOOKED AT IT.
IT SAYS ANY HOME OR BUSINESS CAN ENTER NOMINATE YARD EMAIL.
SO IT, SO MAYBE I DID DO THE EMAIL THING.
DID I YOU DID IT THE LAST TWO YEARS.
YEAH, BECAUSE IT WAS THE GMAIL ACCOUNT.
THE, YEAH, I MONITOR OR THE EMAIL ACCOUNT.
I DIDN'T THINK I DID IT LAST YEAR.
THEN WHAT WAS THE DATE? SURGERY? YEAH, SO IT WAS THE END OF JULY.
SO I, CUZ ALL I DID WAS CHANGE IT BY ONE DATE.
SO JULY 28TH, 2023 IS THE DATE THIS YEAR.
I THOUGHT WE DID IT EARLIER, SO LATER BECAUSE EVERYTHING DIES FROM THE HEATS.
SO WHEN DOES NOMINATION OR ENTRY STOP? IT SAID THE CONTEST RUNS THROUGH 7 28.
THEY, THEY CAN NOMINATE EACH OH.
AND THEN WE, AND THEN WE GO OUT AND WE DECIDE WE PICKED THE WINNERS LAST YEAR.
IN THE PAST WE'VE LET PUBLIC, WE LET YOU KNOW, IT WAS LIKE WE LET EVERYBODY VOTE AND THAT GOT KIND OF UGLY.
I THINK IT WORKED OUT BETTER WITH A COMMITTEE.
WE JUST WENT AROUND AND TOURED ALL THE HOUSES AND, AND HOPEFULLY LAURA, A COUPLE AND I'M HAPPY TO DO THE EMAIL.
SO IF ANYBODY WANTS TO ENTER THEIR YARD OR NOMINATE SOMEONE, WE ARE TAKING NOMINATIONS OR INJURIES UNTIL JULY 28TH.
SO ANY OTHER, ANYTHING ELSE WE HAVE TO DO FOR THAT? I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO WORK ON THAT.
SO, ADDITIONAL BUSINESS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS? ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING THAT THEY WANNA WORK ON OR IDEAS? WE DO HAVE TWO OPEN COMMISSION SEATS AND ABOUT TO BE THREE AFTER TONIGHT.
SO IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE PART OF THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION BOARD, WE HAVE LOTS OF FUN.
AND, UM, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE, LOVE TO HAVE YOU.
IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT, PLEASE INVITE THEM.
I, I THINK I SHARED THE LINK WITH EVERYBODY WITH THE FORM THEY FILL OUT.
AND IT'S ON THE HUB HEIGHTS PAGE.
UM, NO, UM, OUR UPCOMING MEETING IS MAY 15TH.
AND WITH THAT FAT, UM, WITHOUT OBJECTION, WE CAN CLOSE THE MEETING FOR TONIGHT.
