[ AGENDA PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road June 15, 2023 6:30 P.M.]
[00:00:03]
WE'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND GET THE MEETING STARTED.
SO I KNOW THAT SYDNEY IS GONNA BE RUNNING LATE TODAY.
UM, SO IS THERE A MOTION TO EXCUSE CHRIS AND JUST IN CASE SYDNEY DOESN'T COME? YES.
SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO OPEN REMARKS BY THE CHAIR.
SO, UH, NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS CITIZEN COMMENTS.
SO I'M HERE TO PRESENT MY EAGLE PROJECT FOR APPROVAL.
I'M NOT GONNA LIE, IT WAS PRETTY SLAPPED TOGETHER LAST MINUTE, SO IT'S NOT THE BEST THING YOU'LL EVER SEE, BUT I HAVE SOME THINGS I CAN HAND OUT TO Y'ALL.
SO I KNOW SOME OF YOU GUYS WEREN'T HERE WHEN I WAS HERE BEFORE.
UM, SO I'M WORKING ON A FIRE PIT DOWN AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
UM, SO I DECIDED IT'S GONNA BE, UM, THE SHAPE OF A HEXAGON.
AND I WENT AND I LOOKED AT THE FIRE CODE AND IT HAS TO BE, THE INSIDE HAS TO BE A DIAMETER OF SIX FEET.
SO, UM, THERE'S A LITTLE DESIGN.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE PHASES AND THE COST OF THE PROJECT THAT I HAVE SO FAR, THAT'S JUST ESTIMATED.
SO, UM, WHERE'D I PUT EM? LEFT THEM WITH YOU.
THEY'RE ESTIMATED COSTS, SO THEY REALLY JUST CLOSE FOR NOW.
I WON'T HAVE OFFICIAL COSTS TILL AFTER THE PROJECT.
HOW MUCH SHOULD REALLY COST? UM, SO THE WOOD ITSELF, THERE'S SEVERAL SUPPLIES THAT GOES INTO, BUT THERE'S WOOD.
UM, BE WORKING TWO BY FOURS FOR NOW.
THIS IS THE FIRE CODE I'M HANGING ON NOW.
UM, THERE'S A LITTLE DOLL OUT HIGHLIGHTED AREA THAT SHOWS THE EXACT THING.
UM, UM, SO FOR SUPPLIES, I'M USING WOOD, YOU KNOW, SCREWS, WHATEVER TO PUT THE FORMS TOGETHER.
UM, IT'S GONNA START OUT AS A 12 FOOT LONG AND 12 FOOT WIDE HOLE THAT'S A FOOT DEEP.
UM, SO THAT'S ALL GONNA BE FILLED IN WITH GRAVEL FOR PEOPLE TO WALK ON PLUS PUT THE FORMS OR WHATEVER ELSE ON.
UM, SO WE'RE GONNA START BY DIGGING THAT OUT AND FILLING UP WITH GRAVEL.
UM, THESE ARE LISTED OF THE SUPPLIES THAT I HAVE.
UM, WE'LL SET THE FORMS IN, STATE THE REBAR PENS IN, AND HAVE THE CONCRETE COME OUT.
WE'LL FILL IN THE FORMS, UM, AND THEN FINISH PUTTING IN GRAVEL IN THE CENTER OF THE FIRE PIT, UH, THE GRAVEL SO IT DRAINS BETTER WHEN IT RAINS.
SORRY, I'M ALL OVER THE PLACE.
UM, SO AFTER THAT'S ALL SET, WE'LL PULL THE FORMS BACK UP.
UM, AND MAYBE IF THERE'S A LITTLE EXTRA WOOD LEFTOVER WILL MAKE A LITTLE HUT FOR FIREWOOD OUTSIDE SOMEWHERE THERE.
UM, I KNOW IT'S NOT REALLY IN THERE, BUT THAT'S KIND OF OFF THE BOOKS IF THERE'S LEFTOVER WOOD.
UM, SO BASICALLY THE INSIDE PERIMETER OF THE FIRE PIT, IT'S HEXAGON.
SO IT HAS A SIX FOOT, UM, DIAMETER.
SO IT'S SIX FOOT ACROSS EACH WAY.
SO EACH SIDE WILL BE THREE FEET, AND THEN THERE WILL BE A FOOT OF CONCRETE AND ANOTHER WALL.
SO THAT'LL BE FOUR FOOT LONG CUZ IT'S EXPANDING AS IT'S GOING OUT.
AND THEN THERE'S BASICALLY, UM, SO THESE FIRST TWO WALLS ARE TWO FEET HIGH.
UM, AND THEN THE THIRD WALL WILL ONLY BE A FOOT HIGH.
SO IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A STEP JUST TO MAKE IT LOOK A LITTLE PRETTIER.
UM, WHICH EACH PANEL WILL BE FIVE FOOT TALL OR I MEAN LONG NOW WE DON'T NEED A FIVE FOOT HIGH FIRE PIT.
[00:05:01]
I CAN SHOW YOU.IT'S NOT THE PRETTIEST THING AND IT'S KIND OF SCRIBBLES.
I CAN ALWAYS GET ONE TOGETHER AND GET IT TO BLAKE AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEND IT AROUND TO YOU GUYS HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.
YOU'RE WALKING, WHAT, WHAT A PERSPECTIVE WHERE IT'S AT, AT THE CENTER.
IT'S IN THE BACK OBVIOUSLY WHERE IT'S GONNA BE ON THE PROPERTY.
UM, SO WE DON'T WANT IT IN THE BACK IF IT BE, DON'T WANT LIKE THE HAY EQUIPMENT GOING THROUGH THE GRASS RIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD LAST TIME.
SO ACTUALLY WHERE THEY WANTED IT WAS HERE IN FRONT OF THE SHELTER, WHICH WE CAN DO.
IT'LL JUST BE REALLY CLOSE TO THE PARKING LOT CAUSE THAT'S TO BE 25 FEET AWAY FROM THE SHELTER AND IT'LL BE SITTING IN A DITCH SO TO CAN PART OF YOUR DRAIN.
UM, SO WHAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT IS RIGHT HERE UP FRONT, IT'S NICE AND FLAT.
THE, THERE'S A LITTLE GAP WHERE SPACE IS MOVING AND THE, UH, EQUIPMENT CAN GET THROUGH MM-HMM.
UM, IT'LL BE RIGHT HERE CAUSE IT'S NICE AND OPEN AND FLAT AND AWAY FROM TREES, UM, STRUCTURES.
CAUSE IN THE FIRE CODE IT STATES HAS TO BE 25 FEET AWAY FROM THE STRUCTURE.
AND SINCE THERE'S SO MANY TREES AND STRUCTURES CLOSE, IT CAN ONLY BE A SIX FOOT DIAMETER.
SO IT'D BE RIGHT IN THERE IS WHERE WE'RE THINKING WE CAN, WE CAN PUT IT HERE IF YOU WANT.
JUST BE REALLY CLOSE TO THE PARKING SAME ON WIND DAY.
IF IT'S HERE, IS THAT GONNA POTENTIALLY IMPACT ANY OF THE PARKING WHERE THE CARS ARE? I THOUGHT IT SHOULDN'T, BUT WE CAN MOVE IT OUT A LITTLE FURTHER.
NO, I, I'M JUST, I'M JUST BRINGING UP QUESTIONS THAT'S UH RIGHT.
UH, AND THEN I, AGAIN, NOT READING THROUGH THE CODE, IF SOMEONE WERE TO HAVE A FIRE GOING, DOES A HOSE HAVE TO MAKE IT OUT THERE FROM THE BUILDING, UH, IN AN EMERGENCY THAT THE NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT? OR HOW, HOW DOES THAT ALL NOT THAT I WENT UP THERE AND ASKED.
THEY NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
OF COURSE I NEVER ASKED SOMETHING.
UM, I MEAN WHAT, DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
AND IS THERE A SPIGOT OR A, A HOSE CONNECTOR ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING OR IS THAT YOU'VE BEEN OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S WHERE THET, ARE YOU A HOSE OR A VIRUS? I, MY BROTHERS DONE SOMETHING OVER AGAIN.
KETTERING, EVEN AT HIS HOUSE, THEIR CODE SAYS THAT HE HAD TO HAVE A HOSE FROM HIS HOUSE OR WHEREVER, BLEEDING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY.
SO RON, HE, THAT'S A PERSONAL, CAN YOU HIT YOUR MIC? SO THAT, THAT'S HIS PERSONAL RESIDENCE WHERE THAT WAS AT? I'M JUST, YOU RECENTLY DID IT.
THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I'VE BEEN, IT'S FRESH IN MY MIND.
UH, I HATE TO SEE ALL THE WORK BE DONE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN NOW YOU NEED 200, 300 FEET OF HOSE TO GO FROM THE BACK OF THE BUILDING TO GET IT OUT THERE.
IF THAT'S THE CASE, IT MAY NOT BE OKAY BECAUSE I KNOW, UM, A COLLEAGUE OF MINE DID A FIRE PIT AND THEY, I DON'T REMEMBER THERE BEING ANYTHING ABOUT A FIRE HOSE.
I THINK IF IT'S OUT THERE, IT SHOULD BE A WORST CASE SCENARIO.
WHICH, IF I MAKE OUT WHAT I MARK ON THE SIDE, THERE'S A SECTION HERE, UM, IN THE CODE OF ATTENDANCE, OPEN BURNING BONFIRES, RECREATIONAL FIRES AND USE OF PORTABLE OUTDOOR FIREPLACES SHALL BE CONSTANTLY ATTENDED UNTIL THE FIRE IS EXTINGUISHED.
A MINIMUM OF ONE PORTABLE FIRE, ONE PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER COMPLYING WITH PARAGRAPH F BLAH, BLAH, BLAH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE WITH A MINIMUM FOUR A RATING OR OTHER APPROVED ONSITE FIRE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT SUCH AS DIRT, SAND, WATER, BARREL, GARDEN HOSE OR WATER TRUCK SHALL BE AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE UTILIZATION.
SO IT SOUNDS LIKE IF WE HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER READILY AVAILABLE THAT WOULD SUFFICE COVER IT.
WHICH I COULD, UH, IF I AM MAKING THAT WHIP BOX, WHICH I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO NOW, UM, I CAN PUT A FIRE SIGNATURE IN THERE AND MAKE IT.
WELL I CAN HEAR YOU BUT THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU.
PEOPLE OF THE PUBLIC NO, NO, THAT'S, THAT'S FINE.
HERE'S THIS PASS QUIBBLES, IT'S, BUT UM, YEAH, IF WE MAKE THE WOOD BOX, WE CAN PUT A FIRE EXTINGUISHER SOMEWHERE AROUND IN THERE, EVEN IF IT'S JUST A LITTLE COMPARTMENT FOR IT.
UM, I DIDN'T REALLY THINK ABOUT THAT.
SO SEE I'M KIND OF NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
UM, I DON'T KNOW, IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR YOU WANNA SEE WHERE WE WILL BE ON THE PROPERTY OR SO WELL, BEFORE I CAN SAY ANYTHING, I ACTUALLY NEED TO SEE WHERE IT IS ON THE PROPERTY, BUT CUZ I WASN'T HERE AT THE MEETING, SO, BUT, UM, CHRIS, THAT FOR THE OUTER WALL, HOW TALL IS THE OUT OUTERMOST WALL GONNA BE? IS THAT THE ONE, ONE FOOT.
SO THEN, THEN THE NEXT ONES ARE HALF HOW TALL? TWO FEET.
SO IT'D BE LIKE A LITTLE STEP.
SO IT'S LIKE A STEP NOT NECESSARILY TO SIT ON BUT LIKE A RIGHT.
MORE JUST TO MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY AND WHATEVER.
WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THAT OUTSIDE WALL? JUST FOR LOOKS.
LOOKS JUST TO MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY.
IT, I MEAN IT GIVES THE CONCRETE A LITTLE BIT OF ROOM
[00:10:01]
TO SPREAD AND GROW AND MORE DURABLE, BUT MORE SO JUST FOR LOOKS.ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE I ASK? I THINK I LIKE IT.
WHAT AND IS HIS WORDS WOULD BE? YEAH, I WOULD, I WOULD SAY OUT IN THE FRONT FIELD, LIKE CLOSER TO THE ROAD OR I DON'T KNOW, UM, THE WHOLE BIG BACKFIELD CLOSER TO THE PARKING LOT, BUT LIKE IN THE BACKFIELD TO THE, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING TO THE LEFT OF THE BUILDING, I DON'T KNOW.
UM, SO THAT LEFT SIDE THERE, UH, WHERE THE PARKING LOT IS.
NOW I HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHERE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
YEAH, I MEANT TO PRINT THAT OFF BEFORE I CAME IN.
SO I THINK THE SPOT THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT WHERE THE ROCKS ARE CURRENTLY, YOU TALKING ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SIDE? UH, SO LIKE I'M FACING THE COMMUNITY CENTER IF YOU'RE FACING THE COMMUNITY CENTER, LIKE IF YOU'RE AT THE FRONT DOOR FACING IT, THE LEFT PART OF THE, THE LEFT PORTION OF THE, UM, GRASS JUST DIRECTLY LEFT.
LIKE NOT BACK IN THE FIELD OR LIKE RIGHT UP AGAINST THE, WHERE THE PARKING LOT IS, BUT AT, YOU KNOW, HOWEVER FAR AWAY FROM IT.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ROCKS RIGHT THERE, BUT THE ROCKS ARE ALONG THE OTHER, THE, THEY'RE ALONG WHERE THE, WHERE THE GARDENS ARE, THE GARDENS ARE.
OKAY, SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SIDE? MM-HMM.
SO I WASN'T HERE WHEN YOU INITIALLY BRIEFED.
ALRIGHT, SO I WASN'T HERE WHEN YOU INITIALLY BRIEFED.
UM, OH, PROVIDED YOUR, UM, PRESENTED YOUR PROJECT.
UM, SO I'M JUST GONNA ASK A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS JUST TO GET CAUGHT UP HERE.
SO BASED ON THE DIAGRAM THAT I SEE, UM, THE FIRE PIT YOU'RE LOOKING TO DIG DOWN, SO THE PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO SIT AROUND THE FIRE PIT, WHICH IS LOWER, CORRECT? THERE WILL BE, UM, THERE WILL BE A PIT WHICH ALL THE GRAVELS FILLED IN ON MM-HMM.
BUT THERE SHOULD BE SOME LEFTOVER GRAVEL ON THE OUTSIDES WHERE PEOPLE CAN WALK AND SIT ON A MORE DURABLE SURFACE.
SO WHEN YOU SAY FIVE FEET HERE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FIVE FEET OUT, NOT FIVE FEET.
SO I'M TRYING TO PICK IN MY HEAD.
SO WHAT I WOULD SAY, UM, INITIALLY, IF IT'S POSSIBLE, WELL LET ME ASK THIS QUESTION.
WHEN IS THE DEADLINE FOR YOUR PROJECT? THE DEADLINE? I CAN GO ALL THE WAY TILL ABOUT THE SECOND OR THIRD WEEK OF AUGUST.
NOW I HAVE TILL THAT TIME I'D RATHER HAVE IT DONE THE FIRST OR SECOND WEEK OF JULY.
UM, AND THE REASON WHY I ASKED THAT QUESTION, UM, IS BECAUSE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO.
UM, WE WILL HAVE TO TALK, UM, SOME, SOME MORE ABOUT IT.
UM, BUT THERE'S ALSO SOME, SOME ENGAGEMENT THAT WE WILL HAVE TO DO WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
UM, JUST TO GET CONCURRENCE ON THEIR END.
UM, AND UM, AND I KNOW THAT YOU PROBABLY HAVE ALREADY TALKED TO THE, TO THE, TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ALREADY? I HAVE, YEAH.
AND SO WE WILL HAVE TO, UM, VOTE AND, UM, PRESENT THIS IDEA TO CITY STAFF AND HAVE IT COORDINATED WITH THEM.
UM, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PROJECT, DON'T GET ME WRONG.
UM, SO THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAVE FOR YOU, UM, IS WHAT IS YOUR ASK FOR FROM US? FROM YOU GUYS? YES.
LIKE IN TERMS OF WHAT I NEED FROM YOU OR LIKE SUPPLIES WISE, WHAT ARE YOU ASKING US OTHER THAN THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS PROJECT? WHAT, WHAT ARE YOU SEEKING? WELL, FIRST AND MOST I NEED A SIGNATURE REFERRAL SAYING I CAN'T DO IT AND YOU GUYS ARE PROOF OF IT AND WHATEVER.
UM, I WAS ALSO GONNA SEE WHAT KIND OF SUPPLIES YOU GUYS COULD PROVIDE.
MAINLY EQUIPMENT, UM, IF NOT FUNDAGE OR, UM, SUPPLIES.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE THE COST SHEET, IT'S SITTING AT ABOUT $1,500, MAYBE A LITTLE MORE.
CUZ THESE ARE ALL JUST, UM, QUOTES AND WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, NOT FULL TAX AND YOU KNOW, WHATEVER.
AND, BUT IT'S ALSO BEFORE DONATIONS.
I CAN STILL GO AROUND AND ASK FOR DONATIONS.
IT MIGHT END A LITTLE CHEAPER, BUT, UM, I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA GET $1,500 WORTH OF DONATIONS.
UH, SO YOU HAVE $800 LIFTED FOR MATERIALS AND 700 FOR
[00:15:01]
OTHER, WHAT'S THE OTHER CATEGORY? SO THE 800 IS THE GRAVEL AND THE WOOD.AND THEN THE OTHER CATEGORY IS, UM, THE POURING OF THE CONCRETE.
WHICH AS THAT'S LISTED, THAT'S WITH FIBER MESH.
SO THAT'S A LITTLE BETTER FOR, TO KEEP THE CONCRETE FROM CRACKING AND, UM, KEEPS IT A LITTLE MORE DURABLE.
NOW IF WE DIDN'T WANT THE FIBER MESH, IT WOULD ONLY BE $18 CHEAPER.
SO I FIGURED IT'S ALREADY EXPENSIVE.
SO WHAT'S $18 GONNA CHANGE NOW? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL, YOU'LL POUR IN FORM? UH, OR DO IS THAT SOMEBODY ELSE IS GONNA DO THAT? I MEAN, IS YOUR EX SO EVERYTHING IS ME.
I'M BUILDING THE FORMS AND SETTING THEM.
I JUST HAVE A CONCRETE TRUCK COME OUT, POURS IT, AND THEN ME AND WHOEVER HELP I HAVE IS GONNA LEVEL IT.
IS IT SOMETHING YOU'VE DONE BEFORE? YEAH, I'VE HELPED SOMEONE ELSE WITH A FIRE PIT BEFORE.
SO IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME I'VE DONE IT, BUT, SO I HAVE A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE DOING.
I JUST DON'T KNOW ALL THE BACKGROUND STUFF.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM YOU GUYS DOWN HERE? OKAY.
SO, UM, WE'LL ALSO HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH PUBLIC WORKS AS WELL, RIGHT.
JUST TO MAKE SURE IT'S, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE KOSHER WITH IT.
SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS, UM, IF YOU COULD PACKAGE ALL THIS UP, UM, UH, IN A FORMAT THAT WE CAN EASILY PRESENT IT OR, OR SHOWCASE IT TO CITY STAFF.
CUZ WHAT I WOULD END UP DOING IS, UM, IF THE BOARD CONCURS WITH THE PROJECT IDEA, WHAT I WOULD END UP DOING IS, UM, WRITING AN A, TRYING TO USE A CIVILIAN TERM HERE, A PACKAGE, UM, TO, UM, TO PRESENT THE IDEA TO CITY STAFF TO GET THEIR CONCURRENCE, UM, INTO PUBLIC WORKS, FIRE DEPARTMENT, ET CETERA, TO GET THEIR FEEDBACK AS WELL.
AND THEN, UM, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE'S GOOD AND THAT IF WE HAVE TO HAVE A MEETING, THEN WE COULD UM, WE CAN HAVE A MEETING TO DISCUSS IT.
THAT'S WHAT I WOULD END UP DOING IF THE BOARD, UH, CONCURS ON IT.
BUT THEN WE ALSO NEED TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT YOUR ASK IS, RIGHT? SO YOU, YOU'RE ASKING TO DO THIS IN THE CITY PARK SO YOU'RE AT THE RIGHT LOCATION.
BUT, UM, ARE YOU ASKING US TO DO ANYTHING ELSE? YOU KNOW, IS THERE A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OR SPECIFIC SUPPLIES THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE CITY OR THE BOARD TO HELP PROVIDE YOU? I'M GIVING YOU LEADING QUESTIONS YEAH.
SO THAT WAY WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT, WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WANT US TO, TO DO.
AND YOU NEED THAT ALL PACKAGED UP AND DO YOU BY WHEN? SOONER AROUND.
IS THERE A WAY I COULD GET IT TO BLAKE AND AROUND HE CAN GET IT TO ALL YOU GUYS? OH YEAH.
INSTEAD OF WAITING TILL THE NEXT MEETING.
NO, I DON'T WANT YOU TO WAIT A MONTH.
I, I DO NOT WANT YOU TO WAIT A MONTH.
THAT'S, THAT'S THE BIGGEST PROBLEM HERE IS LIKE, CUZ I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THIS READY BACK IN LIKE APRIL AND EVERYTHING WENT CRAZY AND I RAN OUT OF TIME AND HERE WE ARE TWO MONTHS LATER RUSHING.
JUST GET VINCE'S EMAIL BEFORE YOU LEAVE AND YOU CAN JUST SEND IT STRAIGHT TO HIM, SO, SO YOU DON'T WAIT, WAIT ON ME.
BECAUSE WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL SEND IT TO THE BOARD, MAKE SURE THEY'RE, THEY'RE ALL AWARE AS WELL, THEY HAVE A GOOD VISUAL.
I WORK OFF THE VISUAL, SO IF YOU COULD DEFINITELY BUILD IT OUT, UM, A POWERPOINT OR, UM, UH, I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH POWERPOINT OR NOT, UM, BUT SOMETHING THAT WILL SHOW A VISUAL AND THEN YOU WOULD TELL US, THIS IS WHAT THE ASK IS NOW.
UM, I'M GONNA OPEN IT UP TO THE BOARD AND I'M JUST GONNA FLAT OUT ASK THE QUESTION, UM, BEFORE WE EVEN, BUT I MEAN, WELL LET'S JUST SAY, ARE WE READY TO EVEN GO FORWARD TO, TO VOTE ON THE ACTUAL PROJECT? NOT SPONSORING IT OR ANYTHING? JUST YES, THIS PROJECT, THIS IS A GOOD IDEA AND ALL THAT.
SAY IT AGAIN? DRAWING THE DRAWING OF THE, OH, SORRY.
UM, OKAY, SO WE'LL VOTE ON THAT.
AND THEN I WANNA ALSO, I'M GONNA LEAVE IT, I'M GONNA START WITH BLAKE, BUT, UM, FROM A BOARD PERSPECTIVE, UM, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON SUPPORTING, ON PROVIDING WHAT TYPE OF SUPPORT WE SHOULD BE PROVIDING FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT? SO I'LL, I'LL, UM, REFERENCE MY EAGLE PROJECT WHEN I DID MY EAGLE PROJECT, UM, BACK IN 2013.
UH, MIKE GRAY WAS THE PUBLIC WORKS MANAGER AND I CAME TO THE BOARD, PRESENTED, UM, MY IDEA FOR PUTTING IN, UM, TWO HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE RAMPS AT CLOUD PARK.
UM, AND THE BOARD PRETTY MUCH SAID, YEAH, WE'LL SUPPORT IT.
UM, AND HOOKED ME UP WITH MIKE GRAY AND BASICALLY I JUST WORKED WITH MIKE GRAY, UM, THE ENTIRE TIME.
AND, UH, AS FAR AS THE POURING OF THE CONCRETE WENT, HE PRETTY MUCH TOOK CARE OF THE, CUZ HE HAD, HE HAS PEOPLE TO DO THAT.
HE PRETTY MUCH TOOK CARE OF THE COORDINATING OF THE CONCRETE TRUCKS.
UM, WE PICKED THE DAY WE PUT THE, THE FORMS DOWN,
[00:20:01]
UM, AND HIS GUYS CAME AND WE WERE THERE AND HELPED, HELPED SPREAD THE CONCRETE OUT AND EVERYTHING, BUT THEY DID THE ACTUAL LIKE, POURING OF IT.UM, AND THEN, UM, AND THEN WE, YOU KNOW, LEVELED IT AND THEY MADE SURE IT WAS LIKE UP TO, UP TO STANDARDS AND THEN THEY LEFT AND THEN WE GUARDED IT FOR A DAY,
SO I, I WOULD, I'M DEFINITELY, UH, SUPPORTIVE OF IT.
LET'S, UH, I THINK IT'D BE NEXT AMENITY UP THERE.
BRIAN, YOU GOT QUESTIONS? YEAH, NO, YEAH, NO, I, I I SUPPORT IT.
IT'S PROBABLY WHAT VINCE IS BRINGING UP.
WE JUST NEED, YOU KNOW, UH, THE CONCEPTS PUT DOWN ON LIKE, ON THE POWERPOINT OR SOMETHING THAT WE COULD PRESENT TO, YOU KNOW, CITY OFFICIALS, THE MIKE RAY, AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY WITH HIM.
CURTIS, WHEN YOU UM, MAKE UP THE POWERPOINT, IF YOU CAN LIKE, CALCULATE OUT THE, THE, THE CUBIC YARDAGE OF, OR CUBIC FEET OF, UM, HOW MUCH CONCRETE TOTAL YOU NEED, THAT WILL HELP.
LIKE YEAH, I HAVE THAT RIGHT? OH, YOU DO? OKAY.
YOU WANT IT IN CUBIC YARDS INSTEAD OF LIKE FEET, WHATEVER.
WELL, I DON'T, PROBABLY CUBIC YARDS I THINK IS WHAT HE, YEAH CUZ WHEN I TALKED TO THE COMPANIES TODAY, THEY SEEM TO LIKE THAT IT WAS IN CUBIC YARDS INSTEAD OF FEET.
CAUSE THAT'LL, THAT'LL LIKE HOW MUCH MONEY IT'LL, IT'LL TAKE.
AND I'LL ALSO SAY THAT, UM, THAT THE BOARD FUNDED MY WHOLE PROJECT.
WELL SEE YOU DIDN'T START OFF WITH THAT.
AND I WAS ASKING YOU THE QUESTION.
I'M NOT GONNA, I WASN'T GONNA SPECIFICALLY PUT IT OUT THAT WAY, BUT, UM, WHICH IS WHY I WAS ASKING WHAT YOUR, WHAT YOUR ASK WAS.
SO THEY FUNDED YOUR PROJECT, HOW MUCH WAS YOUR PROJECT? I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY, BUT I WOULD SAY IT'S, IT WAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT MORE CONCRETE THAN WHAT CURTIS HAS.
SO THEY PAID FOR ALL THE CONCRETE, ALL THE WOOD AND ALL, ALL THE FLOOR.
I THINK I, I THINK I ASKED FOR 1500 MAYBE, PROBABLY ROUGHLY WHAT CURTIS IS ASKING.
UH, WILLIAM PUTTING THAT IN THAT GRASSY AREA.
SO RIGHT AROUND WHERE THE FIRE FIELD WALL IS, THAT'S GONNA BECOME AWARE AREA.
SO YOU MAY WANNA THINK ABOUT PUTTING SOMETHING OUTSIDE WALL AND OUT EIGHT TO 10 FEET WHERE PEOPLE ARE WALKING AROUND AND STUFF.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT GRAVEL, GRAVEL, MOLD.
SO YOU WANT IT FROM EIGHT TO 10 FEET OUT OR YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.
I THINK THAT OH, BECOMING A PARK.
OH, YOU, YOU'RE, YOU, YOU'RE STAYING INSIDE YOUR GUIDELINES HERE.
AND I THINK THAT WOULD BECOME OUR OBLIGATION.
ANYTHING ELSE FURTHER? OKAY, SO I WILL, UM, WE'LL PUT THIS UP TO VOTE.
UM, DO I NEED A FIRST AND SECOND? YES.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT, OH, ALRIGHT.
UH, DO WE NEED A MOTION THEN? YES, I'LL PROVIDE THE FIRST MOTION TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT.
UM, SINCE WE ARE SUPPORTING THE PROJECT, IS THERE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE TO HELP SUPPORT IT IF CITY STAFF AND CONCUR? I START WITH BRIAN.
I MEAN PLACE AT HIS WAS LIKE 1500.
ABOUT HOW MANY YEARS AGO WAS THAT? 20 13, 10 YEARS.
UH, DO WE HAVE ANY GUESS ABOUT HOW MUCH THE CONCRETE WILL COST? WE DON'T, BUT UM OH YOU DO? YEAH.
SO I KIND OF ROUNDED UP, I SAID IT WAS 700, BUT IN THE END IT WAS LIKE 6 97.
BUT THAT'S JUST THE ONLY QUOTE I COULD GET TODAY.
AND THAT'S FROM PICKLE CONCRETE.
[00:25:01]
I TALKED TO ERNST CONCRETE TODAY TOO AND IT SOUNDED LIKE HE'D DO A LITTLE DONATION OR DISCOUNT BECAUSE IT WAS FOR AN EAGLE PROJECT.I JUST HAVE TO SEND HIM AN EMAIL AND I SHOULD KNOW BY TOMORROW.
CAN WE DO LIKE A, NOT NOT TO EXCEED 50 AND A HUNDRED.
UM, SO WHEN THEY DO THE ACTUAL, SO WHEN HE ACTUALLY SUBMITS HIS QUOTE, UM, HE, YOU WILL FILL OUT A FORM, IT'S A W NINE FORM.
JUST SO SAY HE GAVE YOU A CHECK.
UM, AND THEN, UM, THEY WILL UM, SEE THEY WILL SEND YOU A FORM.
UM, WHAT I NEED TO FIND OUT IS WHAT THE MAX IS ON.
CUZ THERE, THERE'S SOMETHING WEIRD ABOUT THE W NINE FORM, UM, THAT I NEED TO ASK.
UM, SO I WOULD PREFER THAT YOU SAY WHAT THE EXACT AMOUNT IS SO THAT WAY WE CAN SAY, YEAH, HERE YOU GO.
UM, SO, BUT UM, WE CAN, WE CAN PROBABLY VOTE ON NOT TO EXCEED AND THEN GO UP TO THE MAX OR WHATEVER THAT'S, UM, WHATEVER THE RULE RULES ARE.
CAUSE I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THOSE RULES ARE.
WAS, UH, IT WAS ABOUT 6 97 AND SOME CENTS.
I JUST ROUNDED UP AND CALL IT AN EVEN 700.
CUZ RIGHT NOW IT'S ALL, IT IS AN ESTIMATE, LIKE WHERE I'M AT IN THE PROJECT PLAN IS JUST ESTIMATE.
I REALLY DON'T KNOW THE EXACT COST UNTIL AFTER THE PROJECT, BUT I'M SURE I COULD FIGURE IT OUT.
ONCE I GET DEFINITIVE ANSWERS AND UM, MAKE SURE THIS IS THE RIGHT AMOUNTS OF EVERYTHING I NEED.
SO YOUR, YOUR VOTE IS, YOUR VOTE IS FOR NOT TO EXCEED TO A SPECIFIC AMOUNT, CORRECT? YES.
I THINK THAT'S THE PROPER WAY.
1520 IS WHAT YOU HAVE ON HERE.
CUZ I PUT $20, LIKE WATER OR WHATEVER.
YOU SAID IT WAS WHAT? UH, THE 20 WAS FOR WHAT? WATER.
UM, GLEN, I'M, I DON'T THINK MORE LIKE 1600, 1700.
I DON'T, I MEAN I REALLY DON'T.
I WOULD, I WOULD PROBABLY SAY 15, 17TH, SOMEWHERE IN THERE.
OKAY ALEX? WELL I WOULD SUGGEST THAT, WELL I'M IN FAVOR OF THE 1520 BECAUSE, UM, YEAH, I SAY 15, 20.
ALL, ALL WE GOTTA DO IS PICK A NUMBER.
YEAH, I THINK, UH, 15 20 15 20.
SO I THINK WHAT, WHAT I THINK YOU, A NONPROFIT, IF WE SOMEHOW GAVE HIM MORE THAN THE PROJECT CAUSED BY A LAW, HE HAS TO DONATE THAT TO ANOTHER NONPROFIT.
HE CAN'T JUST SAY, I MADE A BONUS ON THAT.
SO I DON'T THINK IT'S A RISK IN GIVING HIM CAN'T KEEP THAT.
HE MUST DONATE TO ANOTHER NONPROFIT.
OR USE IT ON THE GRAVEL ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE SO YOU'RE SAYING SPIN IT OFF? YEAH.
SPIN IT ON THE PRICE SO IT'S NOT A WRIST, YOU KNOW, SAYING GIVE UP TOO MUCH.
YEAH, CUZ THE COST WILL PROBABLY GO UP A LITTLE MORE SINCE NOW I'LL HAVE TO BUILD A WOOD BOX AND SOMETHING FOR THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND WHATEVER.
CUZ I DIDN'T HAVE THAT IN THE ORIGINAL PLAN.
SO I THINK, UM, WITH THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER, I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN WORK WITH, UM, BECAUSE IF SOMEONE IS DOING AN OPEN FIRE, IT SHOULD BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO MM-HMM.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE AT HOME AND YOU WANT DO ONE OUTSIDE THE, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THOSE THINGS ON HAND.
SO I THINK WE CAN UM, WE CAN WORK WITH THAT.
UM, BUT WE'LL ALSO TALK WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND HAVE UM, WE MAY END UP HAVING A MEETING WITH YOU AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AGAIN, OR THOSE MIGHT BE QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT WANNA ASK THEM YOURSELF AS WELL.
UM, SO I HEARD VARIOUS NUMBERS BUT I THINK I HEARD, UM, GO, GO AHEAD AND, UM, GIVE HIM THE 1520.
WHAT WAS HIS ASK ON HIS PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATE HERE? SO IS THERE A MOTION, GLENN? I'LL MAKE A MOTION.
SO, OKAY, GLENN'S GONNA MAKE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO PROVIDE HIM WITH 1520.
THE ASK ON THE, UM, PRELIMINARY COST.
[00:30:01]
A SECOND? I SECOND ALEX SECOND.SO, UM, THE BOARD HAS VOTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH, UM, 1520.
NOW THAT'S, IF WE CAN GET THROUGH ALL THE HURDLES MM-HMM.
THEY MAY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR US.
AND WHAT I MIGHT SAY IS, CAN WE SCHEDULE A MEETING WITH YOU NOW? ARE YOU AVAILABLE DURING THE DAY? UM, NOT NEXT WEEK.
I CAN AT LEAST MAKE A DAY WORK.
UM, NOW HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THIS PROCESS WOULD TAKE? SO IF YOU CAN GET ME THE INFORMATION THIS WEEK, SEND IT TO ME AN EMAIL OR, UM, THEN I WILL WORK ON THAT.
IT WILL TAKE ME A DAY OR TWO JUST TO WRITE THE EMAIL, GET IT FORMATTED THE WAY I NEED IT, NEED TO TO PRESENT IT.
UM, SEND IT OVER TO CITY STAFF.
UH, I WOULD SAY GIVE THEM YOUR MEETINGS ARE TUESDAYS, SO GIVE THEM UNTIL FRIDAY.
UM, COULD BE THE FOLLOWING WEEK.
BUT, UM, JUST TO BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH ALL THE WICKEDS CUZ I'LL SEND MY EMAIL OVER TO CHRIS.
CHRIS WILL SEND IT TO WHOEVER IT NEEDS TO GO TO.
UM, AND THEN, UM, IF YOU DON'T HEAR ANYTHING BACK, YOU SEND ME A NOTE DIRECTLY AND, AND COPY BLAKE ON IT CUZ BLAKE KNOWS HOW TO PING ME IF I DON'T, UM, ANSWER MY EMAIL
SO SEND A COPY HIM ON IT AND THEN, UM, AND THEN WE'LL, I'LL GO BACK OVER TO CHRIS TO SEE WHAT THE STATUS IS.
BUT THE LAST PROJECT WE DID, WE GOT A QUICK, WE GOT A RESPONSE FAIRLY QUICKLY.
I ROUGHLY, I WILL TELL YOU THE WEEK OF JUNE 26TH, I AM, I AM OUT OF TOWN ON VACATION.
SO IF YOU WANT ME TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION, YOU PROBABLY NEED TO HAVE IT TO VINCES BY MONDAY OR TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.
I THINK I CAN WORK WITH THAT BECAUSE I CAN ALWAYS COME UP AND, AND ASK THE QUESTIONS, THE PEOPLE I NEED TO ASK QUESTIONS.
BUT STARTING JUNE 23RD, I, IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN UNTIL AFTER THE 4TH OF JULY, SO.
AND YEAH, AND THAT'S THE OTHER THING, YOU KNOW, WITH THE 4TH OF JULY COMING UP, FIRE DEPARTMENT'S GONNA BE BUSY AND ALL THAT.
SO, UM, THE SOONER YOU GET IT TO US, THE BETTER, UM, PRESENT IT IN A WAY THAT YOU WOULD WANT THAT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
UM, AND THAT, UM, YEAH, THAT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND PUT YOUR EXACT COST, YOUR, YOUR PRELIMINARY THE EXACT AMOUNT THAT WE SAID 15, 20 ON THERE AS WELL.
UM, BECAUSE ALL OF THAT WILL GO TO CHRIS AND IT'LL GO TO SARAH AND ALL THAT.
SO, BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROJECT.
I'M PROUD TO SEE THAT OUR YOUTH ARE DOING, ARE LOOKING TO DO THINGS IN OUR PARKS.
THE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET FOR THREE.
I'LL GET DEPARTMENT THE NAME OF THE COMPANY.
BUT THAT IS A COMPANY THAT WILL PROBABLY FURNISH YOU.
AND IT'LL TAKE A SPECIFIC TYPE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
SO WHEN DO I GET IT SIGNED BY THESE GUYS NOW OR AFTER EVERYTHING IS DONE AND SAID UH, I, WELL, SO, OKAY.
SO I SIGNED THE LAST ONE AFTER, AFTER I GOT APPROVAL.
SO YOU HAVE OUR CONCURRENCE, BUT I NEED, THERE'S ONE MORE STEP THAT I HAVE TO GET THROUGH, UM, WHICH IS WITH CITY STAFF, ONCE I GET THAT CONCURRENCE I CAN SAY, OKAY, LET'S MEET AND I WILL SIGN IT.
UM, OR IF, CAN IT BE DIGITALLY SIGNED? I THINK SO, YEAH.
BUT I'LL LIKE, I'VE STARTED IT ON THE PAPER PEN AND EVERYTHING.
I MEAN YOU CAN JUST SCAN THE PAPER AND YEAH, EMAIL IT TO VINCE AND I'LL PROBABLY EVEN RETYPE IT CUZ IT'S ALREADY A MESS, BUT, OKAY.
SO IF IT CAN BE DIGITALLY SIGNED, I CAN, AS SOON AS I GET IT AND YOU SEND THAT TO ME, I CAN, I OR CHRIS OR SARAH OR WHOMEVER CAN SIGN OFF ON IT.
AND THEN THAT WAY YOU CAN GO TO YOUR NEXT PERSON, YOUR, I FORGOT WHO, I FORGOT WHO IT WAS, BUT YOU CAN GO TO THEM TO GET IT SIGNED AND THEN YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT ON THE REST OF IT.
SO, AND THEN THIS IS THE PROJECT BENEFICIARY, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
SO WHO WOULD BE THE BENEFICIARY AND WHO WOULD BE THE REPRESENTATIVE? SO THE, UH, BENEFICIARY IS THE CITY OF HEBREW HEIGHTS, I THINK.
ARE THERE TWO SIGNATURES OR IS THAT JUST ONE? YEAH, SO IT, IT SAYS THIS IS THE CONTACT INFORMATION.
SO THERE'S THE PROJECT BENEFICIARY AND THEN THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE OH YEAH.
HE HEIGHTS AND THE REPRESENTATIVE WOULD BE VINCE.
[00:35:01]
TO YOU SO YOU CAN PUT DOWN CONTACT INFORMATION? SURE.AND THEN FOR THE BENEFICIARY, RIGHT? CITY HEIGHTS.
WHERE AM I SIGNED? WHERE AM I PUTTING THERE? WHERE DOES SAYS THE REPRESENTATIVES? ALL THAT FORM DONE.
ANYTHING FURTHER ON THIS TOPIC? OKAY.
OKAY, NEXT AGENDA ITEM, OLD BUSINESS Y M C A UPDATE.
UH, FROM THE Y UH, OF COURSE IT IS SUMMER POOL SEASON EVEN THOUGH, UH, SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY AND EVEN YESTERDAY DIDN'T REALLY FEEL LIKE SUMMER POOL SEASON.
UM, SO, UM, WE'RE OPEN TODAY RUNNING, UM, THE FIRST EIGHT DAYS OF OPERATIONS.
SO, UM, THE SATURDAY BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH, UM, THE SECOND SUNDAY, UM, WE SAW NEARLY 8,000 PEOPLE COME THROUGH THE GATES.
UM, SO A REALLY STRONG START, BUT THEN WE HIT THIS COLD SPELL THAT HAS, UH, SLOWED US DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
BUT FRET KNOT, UM, THE END OF THE MID TO END OF NEXT WEEK, IT GETS WARM AGAIN, SO WE'LL BE BUSY AGAIN.
UM, ALL THE POOLS ARE PERFORMING WELL.
UM, AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WE WILL, UH, CONTINUE TO, UM, GET PEOPLE THROUGH THE GATES AND, AND, UH, GET 'EM TAKEN CARE OF.
UM, FROM A SHELTER STANDPOINT.
UM, SO FAR THIS YEAR WE'VE HAD 38 RESERVATIONS AT COTTONWOOD, UM, 31 AT GARY SHERMAN.
UM, WE HAVE 208 RESERVATIONS AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
UM, NOW ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF THIS IS ALSO AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER GIRL SCOUTS.
UM, THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS DOING SOME STUFF DOWN THERE, SO WHEN GROUPS COME IN, SHE SHELL GATE, UM, IT HAS 27 RENTALS.
UM, THOMAS CLOUD PARK IS AT 245 FOR THE SEASON.
UM, WE HAVE 56 ISLAND RENTALS AND GROUP RENTALS AT THE AQUATIC CENTER, UM, FOR A TOTAL OF 605 TOTAL RENTALS ACROSS, UM, THE CITY PARK SYSTEM SO FAR AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON.
UM, AND UM, SO WE WILL, UM, WE, WE TAKE RESERVATIONS IN THE SHELTERS, UM, UNTIL OCTOBER 31ST.
AND THEN AFTER THAT WE ARE DONE UNTIL APRIL 1ST, 2024, SO ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH.
SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO, TO GET THAT, UH, MOVING AND GOING.
UM, SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT FOR THE Y OKAY.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS? UH, NO QUESTIONS.
PARK UPDATE? YEAH, SO, UM, THE, THE PICKLEBALL COURTS BASKETBALL COURTS UPDATE, UM, IT WILL BE ON THE JUNE 20TH WORK SESSION, WHICH IS THIS UPCOMING TUESDAY.
UM, I BELIEVE THERE ARE TWO BIDS THAT WILL, WILL BE, UH, IN FRONT OF COUNSEL.
UH, THE ONE BID THAT, UM, VINCE, UM, SENT OUT TO THE BOARD, UM, WHICH I THINK WAS AROUND $173,000, UM, WHICH WAS, UM, THE MILLING AND RE REPAVING OF THE, THE PICKLEBALL COURTS PICKLEBALL EQUIPMENT, THE REUSING OF THE CURRENT FENCE THAT IS UP.
UM, SO, UM, THAT IS FROM A COMPANY OUT OF COLUMBUS, OHIO.
UM, IF YOU GO TO THEIR WEBSITE, THEY, THEY DO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN BUILDING PICKLEBALL COURTS, WHICH I THINK IS A PLUS.
UM, SO THAT'LL BE, UM, AT THE, UH, WORK SESSION.
AND THEN ON THE JUNE 26TH, WHICH IS THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, UM, WOULD BE VOTED ON, UM, ON WITH CITY COUNCIL AT THE, THE REGULAR MEETING.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THAT, UM, DIAL PARK UPDATE.
SO, UM, DIAL PARK, UM, IS MOVING FORWARD.
UM, THEY WILL, IT WILL ALSO BE ON THE WORK SESSION ON THE 20TH AND A VOTE ON THE 26TH.
UM, BASICALLY THE UH, FINAL CONCEPT INVOLVES THE FOLLOWING ITEMS. UM, THERE WILL BE A PLAY STRUCTURE, UM, HALF A BASKETBALL COURT AND THEN A PICNIC SHELTER.
UM, THE TOTAL BUDGET AMOUNT FOR THE PROJECT IS
[00:40:01]
500,000.UH, THE CONCEPT COMES IN AT 480,000.
UM, SO THE COUNCIL WILL BE PRESENTED WITH THAT FINAL CONCEPT, UM, ON TUESDAY, I BELIEVE AT THE WORK SESSION JUST WITH THE PICKLEBALL COURTS AS WELL.
SO TWO BIG PROJECTS, UM, TWO BIG INVESTMENTS, UM, UM, BY THE CITY ON, ON TWO AREAS THAT THIS GROUP HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
SO, SO CHRIS, UM, BEFORE I GO TO BRIAN, CAUSE I KNOW YOU GOT A QUESTION, UM, ONE, CAN YOU GET US A COPY OF THE CONCEPT AND HAVE A SEND IT TO US SO I MAYBE THAT WAY THE BOARD CAN AT LEAST HAVE SEEN, UM, THE DO PART CONCEPT, UM, BEFORE THE MEETING? UH, I WILL, I WILL TRY TO GET THAT.
UM, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WHEN WE TALKED, WHEN I PRESENTED IN IN APRIL, UM, THAT WAS THE ONE THING WAS WHETHER OR NOT WAS GONNA BE ENOUGH TIME FOR THE BOARD TO PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION.
AND SO WE HAD MAY AND NOW WE'RE IN JUNE.
SO I THINK WE COULD HAVE, WE COULD HAVE PROVIDED SOME INPUT, UM, OR SUGGESTIONS, UM, TO IT AS WELL.
SO IF YOU CAN SEE IF WE CAN, UM, WE CAN GET THAT.
UM, I KNOW IT'S PROBABLY TOO LATE, BUT, UM, I WOULD AT LEAST LIKE TO ALLOW THE BOARD TO HAVE IT AND THEN SEND YOU BACK ANY FEEDBACK THAT WE HAVE.
SO ONCE I GET IT, IT'LL BE A QUICK TURN, SO JUST SEND ME YOUR INPUT, DON'T KNOW VOTING OR ANYTHING NECESSARY ON THAT, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE, WANT YOU WANNA MAKE SURE YOU ALL SEE IT AND HAVE INPUT AS WELL.
BRIAN? YEAH, I, I DOUBT IT'S A PART OF THIS, BUT IS THERE, UH, ONE I WANNA SEE THE DRAWINGS, YOU KNOW, WHERE, WHERE IT'S GONNA BE THE CONCEPT OF IT BECAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE PARKING AND I KNOW NOT, THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN NOW, BUT I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE IF THERE'S A POSSIBILITY IN THE FUTURE THAT SOME KIND OF PARKING THERE BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT THERE THAT HILL.
AND I KNOW IT PROBABLY HAS TO WORK FOR, YOU KNOW, HAPPENED WHEN THEY REDO THE STREET, STREET REPAIR.
CAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THEY DO THEIR PAVEMENT WHEN, YOU KNOW, CONJUNCTION WITH THAT.
I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE LIKE VINCE SAYS, AND SEE THE CONCEPT AND IF THERE'S IN THE FUTURE LOOKING FOR A PARKING AREA.
IS THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WHEN IT WAS PRESENTED TO US BEFORE AND WELL A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE, THERE WERE MULTIPLE DIFFERENT IDEAS AND WHEN WE HAD THE TOWN HALL, UM, THERE WERE INDIVIDUALS HERE AS WELL WHO HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT PARKING, WHO HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT ADDING ALL THESE AMENITIES.
BUT WE WERE, UM, BASED ON THOSE CONVERSATIONS, WE WERE, YOU KNOW, I THINK, UM, THINGS LIKE A SHELTER AND A PLAYGROUND WERE, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE GOOD WITH THOSE THINGS.
SO, UM, SO YEAH, I WANTED, I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW ADDITIONS AND IF THERE WAS PARKING OR SUGGESTED PARKING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO SEE AS BOARD, UM, PROVIDE ANY INPUT.
UM, SO, UM, BUT I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT.
I THINK SOMEONE DOWN HERE HAD A QUESTION, RIGHT? UH, I JUST, IF THAT, IF THAT IS APPROVED, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WILL BE COMPLETED THIS YEAR? YES.
UNITED OPTIMISTIC BE NO, AND IT WOULD BE APPROVED THIS YEAR.
OH, WE, RIGHT, AGAIN, I'M, I'M THINKING OF FUTURE.
I KNOW THIS IS THIS AND I'M JUST THINKING OF FUTURE BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT LIKE A WALKING TRAIL CUZ THAT'S THE ONE OF THE THINGS I ALWAYS FORESEE HAVING, YOU KNOW, WITH THE WOODS BACK THERE BEING A WALKING TRAIL.
AND ALSO THERE'S THE, THE DEVELOPMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TREES.
THERE'S GONNA BE A DEVELOPMENT BEHIND LIKE HAY ROAD, CHAMBERSBURG ROAD WHERE THAT WILL CONNECT, LIKE WHERE THAT PARK WILL CONNECT TO THAT OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD FROM BEHIND.
SO LIKE A WALKING PATH, A WALKING TRAIL FROM THAT NEIGHBORHOOD COMING UP TO THAT PARK.
WOULD YOU KNOW, I'M JUST LOOKING FUTURE.
DON, UH, GLEN OR JUSTICE? ANYTHING? OKAY.
ANYTHING ELSE CHRIS? UH, NO, THAT IS IT.
UH, SO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE IS THE BUDGET.
SO, UM, SO BASED ON THE BUDGET FROM LAST MONTH, WE WERE AT, UM, WE ARE AT EIGHT 8,000 7 42.
UM, BUT TODAY WE JUST, UM, APPROVED UM, THE 1520 AND THEN, UM, FOR THE EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT, UM, LAST MONTH FOR THE BAT BOXES AS WELL.
SO WE'RE AROUND 6,900 RIGHT NOW.
SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL WERE AWARE OF THAT.
AND I WILL UPDATE THIS AND SEND THIS OUT TO YOU ALL NEXT WEEK.
I WANNA CONCUR WITH, WITH SOME, WITH THE NUMBERS WITH SARAH.
UM, SO, UM, ALSO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL WERE AWARE AS WELL, UM, WHEN
[00:45:01]
IT COMES TO THE BUDGET, UM, WELL THE BAT BOXES, UM, THERE WAS A MINOR UPDATE, UM, WITH THAT.UM, SO THAT PROJECT, UM, INSTEAD OF IT GOING INTO A PARK, IT WILL END UP GOING INTO THE WETLAND AREA OVER BY, UM, OFF OF EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD.
UM, SO ONE OF THE AREAS WHEN I, WHEN I SPOKE TO MR. SADOWSKI ABOUT THIS PROJECT WAS, UM, THE BAT BOXES, UM, OFF OF, UH, CENTER POINT 70 CENTER.
UM, THE CITY OWNS SOME PROPERTY UP THERE, IT IS A WETLANDS AREA.
UM, SO IT WOULD BE GOOD HABITAT FOR THE BAT BOXES.
UM, SO SARAH AND I MET WITH, UH, MR. SADOWSKI, UM, A COUPLE MONDAYS AGO, UM, AND HASHED OUT A PLAN, UM, TO, TO GET THE BAT BOXES IN THAT AREA.
UM, MIKE GRAY, UM, WHATEVER WE NEED TO GET 'EM HUNG MIKE IS, IS, IS, IS READY TO GO AND WILLING TO HELP.
UM, SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET 'EM IN THAT AREA WHERE, UM, IT, UM, YOU KNOW, BUTTS UP AGAINST THE INTERSTATE, BUT THAT'S ALL WETLAND AREA.
THEY HAD LOOKED AT IT PREVIOUSLY FOR I BELIEVE, UM, THE NEW PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY.
UM, BUT UM, THE CITY OWNS THAT PROPERTY AND THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE AN IDEAL SPOT FOR BAT BOXES SINCE THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF MOSQUITOES IN THAT AREA, WHETHER IT BE IN A WETLANDS,
ALL RIGHT, ANY QUESTIONS ON THE BUDGET OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? LIKE, SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED TO SPEND MORE MONEY.
WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M WAITING ON SOMEONE TO COME UP WITH SOME NUMBERS, YOU KNOW, AND I, I'M WAITING ON MYSELF TO COME UP WITH NUMBERS TOO.
UM, SO, UM, SO WHEN IT COMES TO THE BUDGET TOO, SO WE'VE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE ORIENTEERING COURSE, UM, THE MOBILE DISC GOLF COURSES, UM, SORRY, MOBILE DISC GOLF NETS, UM, AND SOME OTHER THINGS AS WELL.
SO I'M DOING SOME RESEARCH TRYING TO GET ME, UM, A COUPLE OF NUMBERS ON THAT.
I THINK THE DISC GOLF OR HAVING ACTIVITIES THAT RELATE TO THINGS WE HAVE IN THE PARK THAT WE CAN MOVE AROUND WHENEVER WE HAVE SOMETHING, IT'S BENEFICIAL, UM, BECAUSE IT HELPS TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ON, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE HAVE AND WHERE WE HAVE IT.
SO, UM, BUT, UH, BLAKE, YOU'RE DOING THE, UH, ORIENTATING, UM, STUFF SO WE CAN GET THOSE NUMBERS, UM, CUZ YOU KNOW, WE GETTING MORE PROJECTS COMING THROUGH, YOU KNOW, WE'LL BE RUNNING SHORT HERE.
UM, BUT UM, BUT WE ALSO HAVE THE SHIRTS.
THE SHIRTS WERE, WERE PURCHASED.
UM, SO I'LL BE ABLE TO UPDATE THOSE NUMBERS THIS WEEK, UH, NEXT WEEK.
UM, BUT UM, OTHER THAN THAT, THE ONLY LARGE THING WE HAVE COMING UP IS THE, UM, IS THE FALL FEST, UM, IN OCTOBER.
UM, SO RIGHT NOW I'M TRYING TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON A POTENTIAL LO LOCATION.
I KNOW WE MENTIONED COTTONWOOD, UM, SO I'M GONNA GO OVER THERE, UH, NEXT WEEK AND LOOK AT THAT LOCATION.
UM, AND THEN I'M GONNA MAKE A COUPLE OF CALLS AS WELL, UM, JUST TO SEE WHAT ELSE WE CAN GET OVER THERE.
SO I THINK, UM, BY US DOING THAT THIS YEAR, AT LEAST TRYING TO TEST IN THE WATERS A LITTLE BIT, UM, WILL HELP GREATLY, UM, ESPECIALLY MOVING IT, SO ESPECIALLY AS WE CAN'T HAVE IT AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? OKAY, NEXT AGENDA ITEM HERE.
IT'S A STAR-SPANGLED CELEBRATION.
UM, I'M SENDING SARAH AN EMAIL, UM, THIS WEEKEND JUST TO ASK HER SPECIFICALLY FOR DETAILS ON WHAT SUPPORT SHE NEEDS.
UM, I KNOW THAT, UM, I'M GONNA GO DOWN THE LIST HERE MYSELF, RON, AND BLAKE, YOU'RE AVAILABLE FOR, UM, THE RA UM, IN THE MORNING.
UM, GLEN YOU HAD VOLUNTEERED AS WELL, UM, TO WHATEVER SUPPORT WE NEEDED AND I THINK BRIAN, YOU WERE AVAILABLE AFTER THE PARADE? YEAH, A REASONABLE TIME AFTER THE PARADE.
I, I DON'T KNOW, IT ALSO IT ALL, HEY, HOW, HOW ABOUT, HOW ABOUT THIS EXCEPT FOR, YOU KNOW, YOU RIDE SOCCER, GETTING THERE SO EARLY FOR THE PARADE AND THEN WE CAN STILL GET THROWN TO THE BACK.
GET
UM, SO, UM, BUT I THINK THE KEY IS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, WE GET THE FOOD TRUCKS IN PLACE, UM, AND UM, THAT WE ENSURE THAT THIS IS, THIS, UH, CELEBRATION GOES OFF WITHOUT A HITCH.
SO, UM, BUT I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE SO IF ANYONE ELSE IS AVAILABLE, BUT THEY LET ME KNOW.
UM, AND THEN, UH, THEN WE'LL WE WILL SEND THAT TO SARAH AND SHANNON AS WELL.
I'D BE AVAILABLE YOU SAID? YES.
JUSTICE IN THE MORNING OR ALL DAY AT NIGHT? I, I'M, I'LL BE IN THE PARADE WITH THE DOCTOR, SO OKAY, SO YOU'RE IN THE SAME, OKAY.
[00:50:01]
A LITTLE BIT IN THE EVENING THERE IN THE AFTERNOON? YEAH, LATE AFTERNOON.OKAY, ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT? OKAY, UH, NEW BUSINESS CITY COUNCIL UPDATE.
SO I HAVE A COUNCIL UPDATE COMING UP FAIRLY SHORT FAIRLY SOON.
IT'LL BE BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING HERE.
UM, SO, SO FAR, UM, THE, UM, THE ITEMS THAT I HAVE ON THE LIST ARE, UM, I'M NOT GONNA MENTION THE PRIORITY LIST AGAIN.
I DON'T THINK I NEED TO MENTION IT THIS TIME BECAUSE I'VE STATED IT A NUMBER OF TIMES WHEN I DID MY BRIEF.
UM, BUT UM, I WILL, IF, IF, IF I GET AN EMAIL FROM ALEX, I WILL REINFORCE WHATEVER ALEX WANTS ME TO REINFORCE, BUT IN MY WAY
UM, SO, UM, SO, AND THAT COMES LIKE THE PICKLEBALL COURTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
UM, SO ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC TOPICS THAT YOU ALL WOULD WANT ME TO TALK TO THE BOARD ABOUT OTHER THAN, I'M SORRY, THE COUNCIL.
I HAVE EARTH DAY ON THE LIST RIGHT NOW, SO I DO PLAN ON PROVIDING THEM WITH AN UPDATE ON THAT.
UM, AND THEN, UM, AS OF RIGHT NOW, THAT'S PROBABLY ABOUT IT.
UM, THERE ARE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT, UM, WHEN WE GET TO ADDITIONAL BUSINESS, I WOULD, IF YOU ALL ARE OKAY WITH THAT, I WOULD LOVE TO ADD, TO ADD ON TO THAT.
BUT, UM, BUT THAT'S THE MAIN THING THAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW IS JUST THAT ONE THING.
I THINK YOU SHOULD MENTION THAT WE'RE SUPPORTING EAGLE ON PROJECTS.
AND THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE FOR CITY COUNCIL UPDATES, BUT IF YOU ALL HAVE ANYTHING ELSE, JUST SHOOT IT TO ME.
MY GOAL IS TO SEND YOU A, UM, UH, SOME BULLETS.
SO WHAT I PLAN ON TALKING ABOUT BEFORE WE GET TONIGHT, SO YOU'LL HAVE IT IN YOUR EMAIL, UH, ADDITIONAL BUSINESS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING? YES, BRIAN? UH, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT.
UH, DURING THE, THE WARRIOR SOCCER TOURNAMENT OVER MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, I WAS SETTING UP THAT FRIDAY AGAIN EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
AND I MENTIONED A COUPLE OF THEM ALREADY.
I WAS SETTING UP, PUTTING UP BANNERS UP AND I HAD PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY WHEN I WAS WORKING, HEY, YOU KNOW, THEY STOPPED AND YOU KNOW, THEY WAS LIKE, OH, YOU'RE A CITY EMPLOYEE, SHOW ME WHERE, YOU KNOW, A PLAYGROUND IS OR WHATEVER.
BUT I WAS OVER THERE BY THE SPLASH PAD PARKING LOT, PUTTING UP BANNERS.
SOMEBODY STOPPED TO TALKING ABOUT, HEY, WHAT'S, WHAT DO YOU THINK IS A GOOD PLAYGROUND AND ALL THAT? AND I WAS LIKE, WELL, THE ONE THAT'S BEHIND THE TR AND I WAS LIKE, AND I TURNED AROUND AND I LOOKED AT WHERE THE, THAT NEW PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT IS ON THE MEMORIAL SIDE, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CREEK.
NORMALLY YOU CAN'T SEE, SEE, YOU KNOW, SEE IT FROM THERE.
BUT THEN I NOTICED ALL THE UNDERBRUSH OR AT THE CREEK WAS ALL CLEARED OUT UP TO PROBABLY ABOUT FIELD SOCCER, FIELD FOUR.
SO THERE WAS, YOU COULD CLEARLY SEE, YOU KNOW, THE SHELTERS, THE PLAYGROUND AND ALL THAT.
I JUST WANNA MAKE A COMMENT OF HOW, AND THEN I WAS WONDERING IF THERE, IF THE CITY MIGRATED, WHATEVER IT'S PLANNING ON CONTINUING ON CLEAN, CLEARING OUT THAT BRUSH AT THE, CUZ IT, IT DOES LOOK REALLY NICE.
IF ANYBODY HAS A SEEN YET, I, I'D SUGGEST GO OUT THERE AND LOOK AT IT.
I, I DON'T, BRIAN, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GONNA GO DOWN ANY FURTHER, BUT I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE BEEN MAINTAINING IT.
UM, CUZ I'VE BEEN DOWN TO THE, THE SPLASH PAD SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE IT EXTENDS DOWN TO ABOUT HALFWAY TO MAYBE THE END OF WHERE THE SPLASH PAD IS GOING EAST.
UM, SO I'M NOT SURE, BUT I KNOW THAT THE AREA THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, THEY ARE CONTINUING TO MAINTAIN IT SO THAT IT IS CLEAR AND, AND IT, WHAT, WHAT THE BEST PART OF IT IS OTHER THAN YOU KNOW, IS NOW THE PEOPLE DRIVING IN THERE ARE ABLE TO SEE THAT PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT, THEY'RE ABLE TO SEE THOSE SHELTERS ON THE OTHER SIDE.
CUZ I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I RUN THE PEOPLE I SAID THEY DIDN'T, DIDN'T KNOW THAT PART OF THE PARK WAS THERE.
SO, UM, I WILL REACH OUT TO SARAH.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT YEAH SARAH CUZ COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND SEE IF SHE CAN UM, UM, ASK SOMEONE TO GO AND GET SOME NEW PICTURES OF THOMAS CLOUD PARK, ESPECIALLY THE WAY IT LOOKS NOW WITH THAT.
UM, BECAUSE, UM, THAT'S DIFFERENT AND I WAS OVER THERE AND I DIDN'T EVEN, I DIDN'T NOTICE IT.
SO, UM, SO I WILL GO BACK AND LIKE I SAID, I DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL I WAS POINTING TO SOMEBODY THAT I WAS GETTING READY TO SAY ON THIS OTHER, YOU CAN'T SEE IT, BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE, TRACY, I TURNED AROUND TO LOOK AT IT, POINT IT TO HER AND I WAS LIKE, OH, YOU CAN SEE IT.
ALRIGHT, DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL IDEAS THAT, I'M SORRY, BUSINESS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS? I DO, I'M SORRY.
OKAY, I'LL, I'LL CLAIM A GO BACK.
UM, SO MIKE AND I, UM, HAVE BEEN, UH, HAD A COUPLE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE SPLASH PAD AT THOMAS CLOUD.
UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S 15 PLUS YEARS OLD, SOMEWHERE
[00:55:01]
IN THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S, UM, IT NEEDS SOME LOVE.UM, SO, UM, WE HAVE, WE'RE WORKING ON MAKING PLANS TO GET, UM, ASTRO POOLS WHO BUILT THE KROGER AQUATIC CENTER TO COME DOWN WHILE IT'S IN OPERATIONS SO THEY CAN, THEY CAN SEE EVERYTHING OPERATING, GET A BETTER IDEA, UH, AND PATTERSON POOLS, WHICH IS OUT OF COLUMBUS, WHO IS THE ORIGINAL BUILDER, UM, TO GET SOME IDEAS AND THOUGHTS ON, UM, UM, WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE TO IMPROVE, REPLACE DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO I KNOW, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT USE THE SPLASH PAD DOWN THERE IN CLOUD.
UM, BUT MIKE AND I HAVE HAD SOME, SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT GETTING SOME, SOME EXPERTS DOWN TO, TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, SEE WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME STUFF ON THE INSIDE, UM, WITH, UH, WHEN IT COMES TO FILTRATION AND CHEMICAL STUFF THAT WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING ON UPDATING.
UM, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY HERE AFTER THE SEASON IS OVER, I'LL HAVE AN UPDATE FOR, FOR THE BOARD ON, ON WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
BUT MIKE AND I HAVE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS ON THAT AND, AND WHAT IT WOULD TAKE AND, AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
SO JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT.
ANYTHING FURTHER? OKAY, SO I DO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL BUSINESS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS, BUT REALLY THEY'RE IDEAS FOR THE PARTS.
UM, SO, UM, I HAD SOME DISCUSSION WITH A FEW FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND SO, UM, HERE'S SOME OF THE IDEAS THAT THEY PRESENTED TO ME SPECIFICALLY, UM, FOR IT.
SO, UM, ONE OF THEM WANT TO FOCUS RIGHT NOW ON EICHELBERGER AMPHITHEATER.
UM, SO AS YOU ALL KNOW, UH, WE PUT IN A NEW PLAYGROUND UP THERE, UM, AND THE ONE THING THAT'S MISSING ARE BENCHES.
SO, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE ARE SOME BENCHES UP THERE, UM, RIGHT NEXT TO THAT PLAYGROUND AREA.
UM, I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT ADDING PICNIC TABLES, UM, IN THE, IN THE AREA, UM, IN THE FIELD IN FRONT OF EICHELBERGER AS WELL.
JUST MAYBE JUST A COUPLE, BUT I NEED TO, BEFORE I CONFIRM, BEFORE I DO THAT, I WANT TO LOOK THIS WEEKEND AND SEE WHAT'S BEING ADDED RIGHT NOW, UM, AT THE, UM, FOR THE, UH, FOR THE FESTIVAL THAT'S HAPPENING ON SUNDAY.
I WILL GO UP THERE AND LOOK IN.
UM, UH, SHERMAN PARK RIGHT BEHIND US, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, AND WELL, BUT ACTUALLY FOR ALL THE PARKS, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE.
UM, I KNOW THAT THEY WERE DONE DOWN AT, I THINK IT'S, WHERE WAS I AT THIS WEEK? I WAS AT ONE OTHER PARK.
OH, WAS THAT WAS OVER AT BERGER THIS WEEK.
UM, THANK MIKE FOR BUYING THOSE TRASH BINS.
UM, THE, THE, THE DOG DOG WASTE, THE DOG WASTE CONTAINERS.
UM, SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THOSE DOG WASTE CONTAINERS PUT IN AT ALL THE PARTS AS WELL.
UM, SO SPECIFICALLY OVER HERE, OVER AT SHERMAN, I WAS JUST OVER HERE TO TODAY, SO, UM, COMMUNITY.
OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, IT ALREADY STARTS ONE, BUT THAT WALKING PATH, IF YOU FOLLOWED IT, I THINK IT GOES OVER TO THE HOUSES.
SO WE CONNECT TO THAT AND SORT OF DO A WALKING PATH ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER TO THE FRONT.
UM, I THINK THAT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THERE TOO.
OF COURSE YOU GUYS KNOW I'M A BIG FAN OF HAVING WALKING PATHS AT ALL OF OUR PARTS.
SO THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE NEW DOWEL, PARK COTTONWOOD, UM, AS WELL, COMMUNITY PARK.
UM, IT WAS MENTIONED THAT WE SHOULD HAVE, UM, A WALKING PATH OVER THERE, RIGHT? SO IT'S GOT A WALKING PATH NOW, BUT IF YOU WALK ON IT.
UM, IF YOU WALK ON THE ROAD SPECIFICALLY, UM, IT'S SORT OF SORT OF LIKE A BIG LOOP THAT TAKES YOU BACK TO BACK.
SO WHAT THEY MENTIONED WAS, WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO HAVE A WALKING PATH THAT SORT OF MAKES A BIG OLD CIRCLE? SO IT GOES TO THE FRONT OF COMMUNITY PARK TOWARDS WAYNE.
I WAS OVER THERE TODAY, UM, AND WHEN I LOOKED, I SAW THAT THERE WAS A PATH FROM THE, FROM STUDEBAKER OVER TO THE CREEK TO COMMUNITY PARK.
THERE WAS A PAVED PATH, AND THEN THERE'S SORT OF A GRAVEL PATH THAT WAS THE WORD, A GRAVEL PATH ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT LED STRAIGHT TO WAYNE.
SO I'M THINKING THAT, UM, WE EITHER, UM, CLEAN UP THAT PATH MORE AND MAKE IT MORE IDENTIFIABLE OR WE SORT OF, YOU KNOW, BEND IT A LITTLE BIT.
SO MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, SOIL MORE, BUT LIKE A CIRCLE.
UM, BUT, UM, AS YOU AND I BOTH KNOW AS STUDENTS, WE WOULD TAKE THE CLEAREST PATH, UM, THE FASTEST PATH AND WE WOULD GO STRAIGHT AHEAD.
SO PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, ADDING SOME MORE GRAVEL OR SOMETHING TO THAT WALKING PATH THAT'S ALREADY THERE, UM, AT, UM, COMMUNITY PARK.
UM, JUST MAKING IT MORE IDENTIFIABLE.
[01:00:02]
THE DOG PARK, UM, SOMEONE, UM, THEIR FOLKS LOVE THE DOG PARK.UM, BUT, UM, A FEW WALKER, ONE OF THE WALKERS WHO TENDS TO WALK THE, UM, THE PATH THERE, THEY ACTUALLY SAID, IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADD SOME MORE TREES, SOME MORE TREES THAT WILL PROVIDE SHADE? UM, SO THAT, THAT WAS AN IDEA THERE.
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW BIG THE CURRENT TREES ARE GOING TO GROW, SO, OR HOW BIG THEY'RE GONNA GET.
SO THAT'S A QUESTION I NEED, WE NEED TO ASK.
I MIGHT ASK, UH, GLEN, IF YOU CAN GO DOWN TO THE DOG PARK AND LOOK FOR ME, UM, AND SEE, AND LET ME KNOW WHAT TYPE OF TREES THEY ARE AND HOW BIG THEY'RE GONNA GET.
UM, SO FOR ALL THE WALKING PATHS, UM, I WOULD LOVE TO ADD MARKERS, UM, IDENTIFIABLE MARKERS TO SAY IDENTIFY, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW THE PATH ITSELF, BUT THE HOW LONG THE PATH IS.
IS IT A MILE AND A HALF? IS IT, UH, HALF A MILE? AND IF IT'S A MILE AND A HALF, THEN ON THE GROUND SOMEWHERE, UM, PUT EVERY, AT EVERY HALF MILE, EVERY QUARTER OF A MILE A SLASH YOU KNOW, SOME TYPE OF MARKER, A RED LINE OR SOMETHING IDENTIFIES, OKAY, NOW YOU'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, 25 AND YOU'VE GONE ANOTHER QUARTER MILE AND YOU'VE GONE ANOTHER QUARTER MILE HERE.
SO THAT WAY PEOPLE WHO ARE JOGGING ON IT WILL KNOW HOW FAR THEY'VE GONE.
SO AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PATH, ONE, UH, A SIGN THAT I THINK THE CITY CAN MAKE, I THINK THE CITY HAS A SIGN SHOP, UH, THAT SAYS THIS IS, UM, THIS PATH IS A MILE AND A HALF.
FOR INSTANCE, THOMAS POWELL, I THINK IT'S THE OUTER, THE OUTER PATH OR THE INNER PATH 1.0.
SO IF WE CAN DO A, A SIGN, UM, THAT SAYS IT SAYS THAT, AND MAYBE PUT AN IMAGE OF THE PATH ON IT, JUST LIKE SOME, SOME AT, UM, THE METRO PARTS HAVE DONE.
AND THEN IT ALSO INCLUDE THE OUTER LOOP AS WELL AND HOW LONG THAT IS.
SO THAT WAY IT GIVES PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND THEIR, THEIR RUN, EXTEND THEIR WALK, EXTEND THEIR EXERCISE OR WHATEVER.
BUT IT ALSO TELLS 'EM HOW LONG, HOW BIG THAT IS.
SO I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT AT ALL THE PARTS, UM, UM, ESPECIALLY AS WE GET NEW WALKING PASS ALSO.
AND THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE ON THAT, SORRY.
SO ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? OKAY.
SO SOME OF THOSE THINGS, UM, ESPECIALLY THE, THE SIGNAGE, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION AT THE, UH, CITY COUNCIL MEETING, UM, THE BENCH PROBABLY, I THINK I HAVE AN IDEA FOR, FOR A BENCH EIKO BERGER.
UH, AND I WANNA PRESENT IT TO YOU ALL NEXT MONTH.
I JUST NEED TO GET A COST ON IT, UM, TO HAVE THE BOARD, UM, PURCHASE IT.
BUT, UM, BUT THE OTHER ONES, UM, I THINK WE CAN HOLD OFF FOR NOW.
UH, I THINK, YOU KNOW, I WILL SEND AN EMAIL OVER TO OVER TO YOU, CHRIS, ABOUT THE DOG BANDS, BUT THE OTHER ONES, UM, I THINK WE CAN, WE CAN HOLD OFF FOR NOW, BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, AS I TALK TO FOLKS AND YOU ALL TALK TO FOLKS THAT REALLY SHARE THAT INFORMATION ON WHAT WE'RE HEARING, WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO SEE, UM, I HEAR A LOT OF IT AT THE FARMER'S MARKET, BUT I ALSO HEAR A LOT OF IT AT THE, THE MUSIC EVENTS AS WELL.
NOW MOVING ON TO THE NEXT TOPIC HERE, UM, I KNEW, THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL WERE AWARE THAT TOMORROW, UH, WE HAD ET AT, UM, THEY WERE PLAYING ET DOWN AT THOMAS CLOUD.
UM, YEAH, THOMAS CLOUD PARK, THEY'LL HAVE SOME ACTIVITIES AS WELL.
SO YOU ALL ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO GO DOWN AND, AND, AND WATCH ET I KNOW I HAVEN'T SEEN IT IN YEARS.
UM, SATURDAY WE HAD THE FARMER'S MARKET FROM 10 TO TWO AND, UH, ON SUNDAY, UM, IT'S THE, UM, THE MUSIC, THE FUNK MUSIC FESTIVAL, UM, UP AT EEL BERGER AM I THINK THAT'S FROM FIVE TO 10, I THINK.
SO, UM, SO YOU'VE GOT, THEY'VE GOT THREE BANDS.
UM, AND SO, UM, IT'S, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF INFORMATION ON IT.
UM, AS SOON AS I GET THE FLYER I'M GONNA SEND IT OVER TO YOU GUYS.
UM, SO THAT WAY YOU'RE AT LEAST AWARE IT'S FIVE TO 10.
SO, UM, SO I WILL SEND THAT OVER TO YOU GUYS.
SO THIS WEEKEND'S GONNA BE BUSY IN THE CITY, SO IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, YOU HAVE THE TIME, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO OUT AND DO IT AND, UM, PARTICIPATE IN IT.
IF YOU GO OUT TO THE, TO THE, TO THE FEST, TO THE MUSIC FESTIVAL ON SUNDAY, UM, BRING, BRING A CHAIR AND WE HAVE A GOOD TIME.
