[ AGENDA ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road January 17, 2024 6:30 P.M. ]
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL, UH, TO ORDER ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION BOARD MEETING, UH, JANUARY 17TH AT 6 32.UM, SARAH, CAN YOU CALL ROLL CALL MS. BERG.
MR. FOX? PRESENT? MS. HENRY? HERE.
UM, AND ASHLEY DID SEND AN EMAIL STATING THAT SHE WOULD NOT BE HERE THIS EVENING.
UM, WE WOULD LIKE TO OPEN IT UP TO CITIZEN COMMENTS IF WE HAVE ANY.
COULD YOU STATE YOUR NAME FOR US? BARBARA FOX.
UM, I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE HUBER HEIGHTS OPTIMIST CLUB, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO BECOME MORE INVOLVED WITH CIVIC FUNCTIONS.
I'M ASKING IF WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HAND OUT CANDY, WHICH THE OPTIMIST CLUB WOULD SUPPLY ITSELF AT THE HUBER HEIGHTS ART SHOW ON FEBRUARY 10TH.
THAT SOUNDS VERY, VERY GENEROUS.
UH, DO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THAT? OKAY.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU WERE THE PRESIDENT OF THE I DID NOT KNOW THAT EITHER.
I SAID, I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU WERE THE PRESIDENT OF THE OPTIMIST CLUB.
SO I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TONIGHT.
I JUST BECAME PRESIDENT SECOND.
BARBARA IS THE CLUB'S FIRST FEMALE VICE PRESIDENT.
I THINK THE CLUB'S, UH, 65 YEAR HISTORY, SO AWESOME.
WE WERE ALSO THE FIRST VICE PRESIDENT, MY UNDERSTANDING.
UH, THE OPTUS IN HIS CLUB, UH, WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
UM, NOT CUBA HEIGHTS, BUT IN NORTHRIDGE, UH, THEY GAVE ME SCHOLARSHIPS, UH, SO I COULD BE AN EDUCATOR.
SO, SO MUCH APPRECIATE THE OPTIMIST CLUB.
THEY DO A LOT OF GREAT THINGS.
SO, UM, NOW WE CAN TALK ABOUT ANY OLD BUSINESS WE HAD THE TREE LIGHTING.
UM, WE CAN KIND OF GIVE A, A A SMALL REPORT OF WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE TO EVERYBODY.
HOW YOU THOUGHT IT WENT, WHAT WAS GOOD, WHAT WAS MAYBE WE NEED TO WORK ON FOR NEXT YEAR.
THEY WERE, THEY WERE REALLY GOOD.
IF WE CAN GET THEM EVERY YEAR, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT FILLS THE, THE SPACE WHEN THE KIDS ARE WAITING IN LINE AND EVERYTHING.
I, I THINK IT MADE PEOPLE MORE ENGAGED.
AND THEY CAME IN AND THEY WERE PRESENT.
I THINK THAT HELPED WITH, WITH THAT.
I THOUGHT EVERYTHING WENT REALLY WELL.
I DIDN'T COOK THEM, BUT I UNDERSTAND.
BUT YOU GUYS DONE A GOOD JOB OF SERVING THEM WELL, THANK YOU.
I THINK, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CAKE POPS DID WE HAVE? WE HAD A HUGE COOLER.
THEY DIG UP QUICK, SAVED THEM FOR MONTHS AND THEN BOOM, THERE THEY WENT.
WE NEED TO FIND YOU A FREEZER TO KEEP 'EM IN SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO
OUR OWN, TINA DANIELS DID AN EXCELLENT JOB AS A CHARACTER.
WE'RE CONSIDERING THAT SHE WAS ALMOST BLIND.
GET A VISION CLEARED SO SHE CAN ACTUALLY SEE OUT, OUT OF THE HEAD HERE.
THAT WOULD BE VERY FRUSTRATING FOR ME ANYWAY.
I DON'T THINK I COULD STAND TO WALK AROUND FOR HOURS WITH NO VIEW.
I THINK GREAT LIFE FARM WITH THE HAY RIDES WENT OFF WITHOUT A HITCH.
UM, I DO THINK THEY WERE KIND OF FAR OUT SO PEOPLE DIDN'T REALIZE.
SO MAYBE SOME SIGNS FREE HAYRIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPOSURE TO THAT, THAT IT WAS FREE.
UM, I THINK THE PARADE WAS REALLY WELL.
THAT WAS, I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE ROUTE.
I THINK SOME OTHER PEOPLE WERE TOO.
UM, BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE, LIKE ONCE YOU GOT PAST THAT LIGHT, THE TURN, THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WAITING.
[00:05:01]
FINE.UM, OFFICER LAMBERT DID MAKE SOME SAFETY SUGGESTIONS FOR NEXT YEAR IF ENGAGE WOULD WANNA PARTNER AGAIN.
UM, I'VE, I'VE SENT AN EMAIL TO TARA SO HOPEFULLY, UM, I CAN TALK TO HER ABOUT IT FOR A LITTLE BIT AND MAYBE HAVE HER COME HERE AND TALK TO EVERYBODY.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN PARTNER WITH THAT AGAIN.
UM, UH, LET'S, UH, WE DID HAVE A LOT OF PARTNERS THIS YEAR.
I WAS ABLE TO TALK TO CITY COUNCIL LAST NIGHT AND GIVE A RECAP.
UM, I DID THANK EVERYONE THERE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO JUST TAKE A MINUTE AND, UM, THANK EVERYONE WHO PARTNERED WITH US TO MAKE THAT EVENT HAPPEN.
UM, THE GIRL SCOUTS, THEY, UH, HOSTED THE CRAFT TABLE FOR US.
UH, DID THE HAYRIDE, UH, REMIX FOR DOING THE GAMES AND, UM, MCING FOR US FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH AND TRANQUILITY POND FOR THE YUMMY CAKE POPS AND COOKIES.
UH, WARRIOR GIRLS FOR PERFORMING.
UH, MIGHT WANNA PUT THEM A LITTLE BIT BEFORE IT GETS DARK
UH, BUT THEY DID A GREAT JOB, UH, MONTICELLO FOR SINGING ELEMENTARY, UH, THANKS TO THE DOLLAR SWAP FOR ALL THE DONATIONS OF THE BOOKS.
THAT WAS ALWAYS A FUN THING FOR THE KIDS.
UH, ENGAGED CITY CHURCH FOR PARTNERING WITH US.
UM, AND UH, WITH THE CHRISTMAS PARADE, UH, MR. MAYOR FOR LIGHTING THE TREE, UH, DC BURGERS FOR THE FOOD TRUCK SERVING HOT CHOCOLATE AND, AND GIVING AWAY SOME FREE FOOD TO OUR VOLUNTEERS.
UH, THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT DID COME AND JOIN WITH US AND THANKS TO COMMUNITY CARES FOR ORGANIZING THE SANTA CREW, UM, THEY WERE AMAZING AND THE CHILDREN LOVED THEM.
SO I HOPE I'M NOT FORGETTING ANYBODY.
ANYTHING WE CAN DO BETTER FOR NEXT YEAR? I DON'T KNOW.
I THOUGHT IT WENT PRETTY WELL, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.
BUT IT REALLY, THE WEATHER I THINK WAS VERY COOPERATIVE BECAUSE BEAUTIFUL.
TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT DAY IN DECEMBER, I THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT, IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS.
WE'VE ALWAYS HAD VERY GOOD WEATHER THAT FIRST SATURDAY.
ANYTHING ELSE? IF NOT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO, UH, THE 2024 MOVIE NIGHT.
THANK YOU SARAH, FOR GETTING THIS AMAZING LIST TOGETHER SO WE CAN SEE THE PAST YEAR MOVIES.
THAT'S, THAT WAS A VERY GOOD RESOURCE.
'CAUSE NOT ALL OF US HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD, SO THIS IS NICE.
UH, ANYBODY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR JUNE? UM, THESE ARE ALL CHRISTMAS MOVIES,
SO LET, LET ME EXPLAIN HOW I LAID OUT THE SUGGESTIONS.
SO THE, THE ONES THAT HAVE DATES NEXT OR THE MONTH NEXT TO 'EM, THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT DOING A CHRISTMAS IN JULY.
UM, AND THEN SOMEBODY HAD SUGGESTED CHRISTMAS STORY AND SO I WAS, AS I WAS GOING BACK THROUGH SOME OF MY NOTES, I JUST KIND OF THREW THEM TOWARDS THE BOTTOM.
UM, I DID SUGGEST INDIANA JONES FOR AUGUST, BUT AGAIN, WE COULD DO THAT EARLIER.
IT WAS JUST KIND OF ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
UM, ONE SUGGESTION I WOULD HAVE FOR SEPTEMBER IS MAYBE A SMALLER KID TYPE MOVIE, UM, BECAUSE THAT IS FOOTBALL SEASON AND SO WE WOULD BE TRYING TO ATTRACT A, A YOUNGER DEMOGRAPHIC AND NOT THE FOOTBALL CROWD GOER, UM, PEOPLE.
AND THEN IN OCTOBER WE HAD TALKED ABOUT, UM, LOOKING AT THE HOCUS POCUS TWO MOVIE, I ALSO THREW MONSTERS INC.
'CAUSE IT'S NOT ONE OF THOSE OR ANY OF THE THREE MONSTERS, UH, MOVIES OR ANY OF THE OTHER HALLOWEEN TYPE OF ONES.
UM, SO THAT'S JUST KIND OF HOW I ORGANIZE THAT.
NOW WE HAVE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE PAST MOVIES, WE HAVE SHOWN PETS TWO BUT NOT PETS ONE.
WE'VE SHOWN KUNG FU PANDA THREE AND NOW THERE'S LIKE FOUR OF 'EM, BUT WE'VE NEVER SHOWN ANY OF THE OTHER ONES.
SO JUST TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, THROW SOME OTHER IDEAS OUT THERE AS WELL.
SO NOW THIS BARBIE MOVIE, IS THAT THE ONE THAT CAME OUT THIS PAST SUMMER? YEAH, SO SOMEBODY HAD SUGGESTED THAT IT IS RATED PG 13 AND WE USUALLY STICK WITH THE PG LEVEL, UM, MOVIES AND NOT BRANCHING INTO THE PG 13.
BUT AGAIN, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WANNA LOOK AT, WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT THAT.
[00:10:01]
UM, I ALSO PUT ON HERE THE SUPER BAR MARIO BROTHERS MOVIE, AS WELL AS RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET.I KNOW WE'VE SHOWN, WE DID SHOW WRECK RALPH, UM, THIS PAST SEASON, BUT AGAIN, SHE WANTED TO DO, 'CAUSE THE KIDS REALLY LIKE THAT ONE.
UM, OUR NEW PARKS MANAGER IS DOING A, UM, IS TRYING TO LAUNCH LIKE AN ESPORTS TYPE OF PROGRAM, UM, THAT TIES INTO VIDEO GAMING.
UM, AND SO SHE HAS SUGGESTED THAT IF WE PICK LIKE A VIDEO GAME THEME MOVIE, THAT SHE WOULD COME OUT OR SHE WOULD ORGANIZE THE, UM, ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO THE MOVIE AND THEY WOULD ALL BE VIDEO GAME RELATED TO THAT.
I KNOW SONIC IS HUGE WITH THE LITTLE KIDS.
MARIO BROTHERS IS HUGE, SO I DON'T THINK WE COULD GO WRONG WITH THOSE.
I THINK MARIO BROTHERS OVER SONIC PROBABLY.
I PERSONALLY, I'M LOOKING AT LIKE SHREK BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF THE KIDS HAVE NEVER SEEN.
AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I KIND OF PICKED IT.
AND I THOUGHT IT WAS, IT WAS REALLY GOOD.
SO I ALWAYS THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD ADDITION FOR LIKE JUNE OR SEPTEMBER, EITHER ONE.
BUT I GUESS I'LL JUST THROW OUT MY PICS.
I SAID RE FOR JUNE, HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS FOR JULY.
'CAUSE THAT'S MORE OF AN ADULT KIND OF A, YOU KNOW, CROSSOVER.
I THINK A LOT OF ADULTS PROBABLY LIKE THAT MOVIE AS WELL AS KIDS HAD A CHRISTMAS STORY BECAUSE THAT HAS A WIDE APPEAL TO YEP.
WELL TRUE THAT THEN INDIANA JONES I THINK IS GREAT FOR AUGUST BECAUSE WE WANNA BE ABLE, THAT'S A GOOD, THAT MOVIE USUALLY IS WELL ATTENDED AND WE WANNA GET THAT GUY BACK THAT DID THE WHIP DEMONSTRATIONS AND STUFF.
UH, I LIKE THE IDEA OF WIZARD OF OZ, BUT YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW WELL THAT ALL APPEALED TO KIDS.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I LOVED IT AS A KID, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT TO COMPARE TO
THAT THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD ONE FOR THE JUNE BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA BE START, IT'S ALMOST GONNA BE 10 O'CLOCK WHEN WE START THAT MOVIE.
IN FACT, BOTH JUNE AND JULY, THEY'RE GONNA BE CLOSE TO 10 O'CLOCK.
SO HAVING A MOVIE THAT APPEALS TO AN OLDER CROWD MIGHT BE THE WAY TO GO.
WELL, AND I THINK WIZARD WIZARD DEVOS IS GOING TO BE, IT'S A HUGE MILESTONE FOR THEM.
IS IT 50, 60 YEARS? I DON'T REMEMBER, BUT 1960 WIZARD DE OZ CAME OUT IN 20 OR 39.
IT'S A HUGE, IT CAME OUT 39 BECAUSE I KNOW, UH, IT WAS, IT'S BLACK AND WHITE HALFWAY THROUGH.
YEAH, 1939 IS WHEN IT CAME OUT.
SO I THINK THIS IS LIKE A MILESTONE BECAUSE THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT MAKING IT, UH, UM, AVAILABLE AT THE MOVIE THEATER.
I, I MEAN, I PERSONALLY, YOU KNOW, I GUESS IT WOULD APPEAL TO ADULTS FROM THE STANDPOINT THAT A LOT OF US GREW UP WITH IT AND THE KIDS HAVE NEVER SEEN IT.
THAT'S THE THE BIGGEST SUGGESTION THAT I HAD GOTTEN FROM SOMEBODY.
UM, IT WAS ACTUALLY JOSH KING'S WIFE HAD SAID, YOU KNOW, THESE KIDS WHEN THEY, WHEN A MOVIE COMES OUT, THEY TO SEE IT AND THEY SEE IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
SO PAW PATROL IS, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY CAME OUT, THOSE KIDS PROBABLY WATCHED IT A HUNDRED TIMES.
WHEREAS THEY'VE NEVER SEEN SHREK OR, YOU KNOW, STAR WARS OR SOME OF THESE OLDER MOVIES.
AND SOME OF THOSE MOVIES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE NOW ON, UM, WITH AN EXCLUSIVE ONE PARTICULAR STREAMING SERVICE.
SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT STREAMING SERVICE, YOU'RE NOT SEEING THAT PICTURE LATELY.
I'M KIND OF, I KIND OF TEND TO GO TOWARDS THE OLDER MOVIES ONLY FROM THAT STANDPOINT THAT KIDS, A LOT OF THE KIDS HAVE NEVER SEEN THEM, BUT, SO WHEN WOULD THE PARKS LADY LIKE TO DO, LIKE IF WE DID THE SUPER MARIO, WHEN WAS SHE THINKING? WHENEVER WE TELL HER? YEP.
WELL, IF WE'RE AIMING FOR A YOUNGER CROWD, MAYBE SEPTEMBER FOR THAT ONE SOUNDS LIKE GOOD.
SO, BECAUSE THAT'LL BE YEAH, EARLIER.
SO SEP OKAY, SO SUPER MARIO FOR SEPTEMBER.
I LIKE THE IDEA OF SHRECK, THE WIZARD OF OZ.
IF PEOPLE COULD DRESS JUNE, I THINK THE WIZARD OF OZ, LINDA, THE, YOU WANNA DO THAT FOR JUNE? I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD, YEAH, I THINK THAT SOUNDS FUN.
WE WERE PLANNING TO GO SEE IT AT THE MOVIE THEATER.
'CAUSE WE COULD TIE THAT IN WITH THE 85TH ANNIVERSARY.
[00:15:01]
RELEASED IN AUGUST OF THAT YEAR.OH, I KNEW IT WAS 39 BECAUSE MY MOM WAS 10 YEARS OLD AND SHE TOLD ME ABOUT I'D GONE WITH THE WIND CAME OUT THAT YEAR AND YOU KNOW, THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS THAT CAME OUT IN 39.
WELL, AND IF YOU WANT TO, IF YOU WANT TO DO IT IN AUGUST, WE COULD DO IT IN AUGUST.
WELL, THE INDIANA JONES GUY, HE'S FLEXIBLE.
WELL LET'S DO WIZARD OF OZ IN AUGUST THEN, AND THEN MOVE INDIANA JONES TO, UM, MAYBE SEPTEMBER AND MOVE SUPER MARIO UP.
I'M, WHICH ONE WOULD BE BETTER FOR THE ADULT CROWD? BECAUSE LIKE, I WOULD THINK, I WOULD SAY INDIANA INDIANA JONES IS GONNA BE BETTER FOR THE ADULT CROWD.
SO WE'D MAYBE MOVE IT UP TO JUNE.
AND WE SHOULD HAVE OZ AND, AND JUST TO THROW IT OUT THERE, IF THERE ARE SCHEDULING CONFLICTS, ARE WE OKAY TO FLIP FLOP THOSE TWO? I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.
SO WE NEED TO DECIDE JULYS CHRISTMAS AND JULY.
AND WE COULD DO CHRISTMAS STORY.
I MEAN, YOU'RE JUST STARTING LATER.
YOU WANT TO WELL, THAT'S TRUE.
I LIKE THE, HOW THE GRIN STOLE CHRISTMAS FOR JULY.
I, THAT'S ONE OF OUR ANNUAL MOVIES.
WE WATCHED JIM CARREY DO HOW THE GRIN STOLE.
I KNOW MY VOTE IS MORE FOR THE ANIMATED ONE, BUT IT'S ONLY A 22 MINUTE.
YEAH, I'VE LOOKED AT THE TIMEFRAMES AND
WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE THAT WOULD BE MY VOTE TOO, BUT
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A 22 MINUTE PICTURE.
I HOPE THAT WOULDN'T BOTHER THEN.
MAYBE WE COULD ASK THE GRINCH TO COME
HE WAS A REAL, HE WAS REAL AMAZING.
YOU GUYS, THE THE SANTA CREW WAS AMAZING.
UM, SO MARIO WAS SEPTEMBER, RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT WE SAID.
AND THEN OCTOBER, I THINK OCTOBER.
OH, I THINK FOCUS, FOCUS TWO PROBABLY.
I HAVEN'T, I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT.
I LOVE MONSTER ZINC FOCUS BEFORE I'M WITH YOU.
THAT MONSTER ZINC WAS HILARIOUS.
HOCUS POCUS WAS SHOWN BACK IN 2019.
WELL, YOU WANNA DO MONSTERS THEN? I WOULD VOTE FOR MONSTERS MYSELF.
I I MEAN, I I I IN CAHOOTS WITH, UH, CHERYL, I JUST FEEL LIKE HOCUS POCUS TWO, IT ONLY CAME OUT THE ONE TIME.
PEOPLE LOVE I HAVE NOT SEEN IT.
SO I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HOCUS PO GROUP.
AND IT, I KNOW FOR THOSE, BECAUSE I NEVER EVEN SAW IT.
I LIKE THE FACT THAT THE, UH, ONE MONSTER ZINC IS 11 MINUTES SHORTER THAN THE OTHER THOUGH.
THAT, THAT, UH, ROSE, THE, THE ROSE GETS LIKE AN ICE BOX IN THERE IF IT'S COLD OUT.
SO JUNE, INDIANA JONES, JULY, UH, HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, AUGUST WIZARD OF OZ, SEPTEMBER, MARIO, AND THEN OCTOBER.
ARE WE, I GUESS I POCUS POCUS, POCUS POCUS HOCUS POCUS.
I WILL DOUBLE CHECK THE AVAILABILITY FOR ALL OF THESE.
UM, AND THEN IF THERE ARE ANY KIND OF ISSUES, I'LL SHOOT OUT AN EMAIL AND SAY EVERYTHING IS CONFIRMED AND OTHERWISE WE MAY HAVE TO COME BACK AND THROW OUT SOME OTHER IDEAS.
SO NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS THE ART EXHIBIT.
UM, THAT IS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10TH FROM TWO TO SEVEN.
AND IF ANY, IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO HAS SIGNED UP AND THEY DID NOT GET A CONFIRMATION, PLEASE HAVE THEM RESUBMIT.
SO, UM, THERE WAS I THINK A LITTLE GLITCH GOING ON AND NOT EVERYONE GOT A CONFIRMATION.
SO, UM, BUT IF THEY'VE SIGNED UP AND SAID THEY HAVE AND THEY SHOW UP AND, BUT WE DON'T HAVE 'EM ON THE LIST, THEY'LL BE THERE.
SO WHEN DO YOU WANT US THERE FOR SET UP?
[00:20:02]
ARE WE SETTING UP ALL THE TABLES THAT DID WE DO? SO PUBLIC WORKS SET UP THE TABLES.I THINK WE JUST KIND OF ARRANGED 'EM, UM, AND PUT TABLECLOTHS, I THINK AND PUT TABLECLOTHS, WHICH WE STILL HAVE.
AND SO EVERYBODY, WELL THAT, WHEN DID WE TELL PEOPLE TO SHOW UP? TO SET UP? YEAH.
SO THAT'S THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVEN'T PUT OUT THERE.
SO I GUESS THAT WOULD DEPEND ON HOW YOU SET IT UP LAST YEAR.
UM, I BELIEVE THEY, IT TOOK A LITTLE WHILE FOR PEOPLE TO SET UP AND WE HAD A TIME, I THINK IT WAS, OH, IT WAS NOON.
PEOPLE WERE ARRIVING AT NOON TO ONE THEY COULD SET UP.
SO WE NEED TO BE THERE LIKE AT 1130 AT LEAST SOME PIECES THEY HAVE TO, TO PUT TOGETHER THE TABLES, SO.
UM, I CAN BE THERE WHENEVER I PLAN TO BE THERE ALL DAY.
SO I CAN BE THERE AT 11 OR 1130 EACH OTHER.
I, I PLAN TO BE THERE ALL DAY ALSO, UH, IF THERE'S SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T WANNA BE THERE ALL DAY BUT WOULDN'T LIKE TO EITHER COME HELP CLEAN CLEANUP OR SET UP FOR A LITTLE BIT, THAT WOULD BE, I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS A WHOLE LOT OF US THERE.
BUT CLEANING UP AND SETTING UP COULD PROBABLY BE THE HARDEST.
SO, UM, I DO THINK THAT PEOPLE STARTED LEAVING EARLIER THAN SEVEN, THOUGH.
PEOPLE STARTED SHUTTING DOWN THEIR EXHIBITS AND STUFF.
EVEN THOUGH WE CAN LEAVE IT, I MEAN OBVIOUSLY LEAVE IT AT SEVEN, BUT, UM, I DO KNOW PEOPLE START, I THOUGHT WE TALKED ABOUT KIND SHORTENING IT.
BUT IT, I IT'S ALREADY OUT THERE.
FOR NEXT YEAR, WE'LL REMEMBER WE WANT A LITTLE SHORTER.
UM, DO WE WANT SOME ENTERTAINMENT, UH, MUSIC ONE YEAR WE DID AN ACOUSTIC, SOMEONE PLAYED GUITAR.
IF WE BE INTERESTED IN SEEING IF ANYONE WANTS TO PLAY PRO BONO OR YOU KNOW, DONATE THEIR TIME OR SURE.
IT DOES ADD AND WHEN I TALKED TO THE MONTICELLO ELEMENTARY CHOIR DIRECTOR, SHE TALKED ABOUT MAYBE EVEN THE KIDS COMING AND SINGING.
UM, AND WE'RE TRYING TO CONNECT, BUT SNOW DAYS HAVE REALLY, UH, KILLED THE
SO I WILL CONNECT WITH HER AND I'LL SEE IF WE CAN GET THEM TOO.
SO, ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED, UM, AS FAR AS THE TILE EXHIBIT? OKAY.
I KNOW IT'S STILL SITTING THERE.
UM, I DO HAVE A BOARD AND, AND SOMETHING TO MOUNT IT TO SO THAT IT COULD, IT'LL BE STURDY.
I MEAN IT'S JUST A THIN PIECE OF PLYWOOD, BUT I HAVE A BACKING THAT I CAN MOUNT IT TO THAT WE CAN HANG OR LEAN OR WHATEVER.
UM, AND THEN WHAT I WAS THINKING WAS JUST CUTTING IT TO THE SIZE THAT WE NEEDED.
WE HAVE 90 TILES, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
AND THE FOUR INCH TILES I MEASURED ARE LIKE FOUR AND FOUR AND A QUARTER INCHES.
SO I CAN CUT THE, THE BOARD TO FIT THOSE 90 TILES, IF THAT MAKES SENSE TO EVERYBODY.
AND THEN WE JUST NEED TO GET 'EM MOUNTED AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO THAT BEFORE THE EXHIBIT.
I MEAN, I'M WILLING TO DONATE A DAY OR TWO TO, SO LET ME GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT.
'CAUSE UH, THE PARKS MANAGER AND I HAD A CONVERSATION, UM, BECAUSE I WANTED TO GET A STATUS UPDATE.
AND SO SHE IS ACTUALLY WORKING ON THAT, SO.
UM, BUT SHE DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR ME, UM, TODAY, BUT SHE IS WORKING ON THAT.
SO, UM, 'CAUSE THERE WAS A, I THINK SHANNON, YOU GUYS HAD TALKED TO HER AT CHRISTMAS.
AND SO, UM, YES, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE TOP OF HER, HER MIND.
AND SO SHE IS GOING TO HAVE SOME ANSWERS FOR US HOPEFULLY SOON.
AND SOMEONE DID SUGGEST TO ME USING VELCRO.
NOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW, I MEAN, IT'LL HOLD THE TILES, I'M SURE IT'S, IS IS IT GOING TO, IS THE ADHESIVE GONNA RIGHT.
STAY STUCK TO THE TILES? RIGHT.
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE CAN, WE CAN STAPLE THE VELCRO TO THE BOARD, BUT THEN THE TILES WILL HAVE TO BE ABLE TO HOLD THAT.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE STILL WANT TO GO WITH THE I WILL, I WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU.
AS SOON AS I HAVE ANY ANSWER BECAUSE I'M HAPPY TO DONATE SOME TIME TO IT.
SO YOU ALMOST HAVE TO USE SOME SORT OF MASICK TO KEEP THAT, MAKE SURE THAT STAYS ON THERE.
MY PROBLEM WITH ALL OF, OF, WITH USING THE ADHESIVE, IS IT COMING OUT BETWEEN THE TILES AND THAT KIND OF THING? I MEAN, IF YOU'RE, WE'RE NOT GROUTING IT, SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE'LL EITHER HAVE TO PAINT THE BOARD SOMETHING THAT WILL DISAPPEAR BEHIND THOSE SEAMS BECAUSE THE TILES HAVE TABS ON 'EM, SO THEY'RE NOT GONNA
[00:25:01]
BE STUCK CLOSE TOGETHER.SO YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO SEE WHATEVER'S BEHIND IT.
SO THAT WAS MY BIG CONCERN WITH MASTIC IS THAT MASTIC COMING UP THROUGH BETWEEN THE TILES AND STUFF.
BUT WE CAN, WE CAN WORK AROUND THAT.
SO USUALLY THEY COME IN EITHER GRAY OR, OR A BROWN COLOR.
WELL, AND IF WE'RE CAREFUL ABOUT APPLYING IT, IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT.
SO IF, IF IT WOULD COME BETWEEN THE TILES, IT'S NOT GONNA BE, YOU'D HAVE TO REALLY LOOK FOR IT.
SOMETHING ELSE TO CONSIDER IS WEIGHT.
YEAH, I THINK TILE TILES COULD BE A BIT MUCH, SO.
UM, SO, ALRIGHT, SO WE'LL GET THAT.
I THINK WE'RE PRETTY, WE HAVE EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
SO STAR SPAN HEIGHTS PLANNING.
SO, UM, SARAH HAS SOME UPDATES ON THAT.
SO, SO, UM, AS YOU GUYS KNOW, WE HAVE, UM, SIX MONTHS.
UM, 'CAUSE IT'S ALWAYS THE SATURDAY BEFORE 4TH OF JULY.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I PUT THE 30TH.
UM, SO I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN IN TOUCH WITH OUR RIDE PROVIDER, UH, CINCINNATI CIRCUIT AND, UM, ASKED THEM FOR MORE, UH, MORE RIDES.
UM, 'CAUSE LAST YEAR WE HAD A GREAT GROUP OF RIDES.
THERE WERE STILL REALLY LONG LINES.
UM, I ALSO ASKED FOR MORE ADULT, UM, TYPE RIDES TO ENGAGE.
AND SO THERE'S A NICE BIG LONG LIST OF RIDES AND, UM, THIS YEAR WILL BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
AND WHAT WE WILL GET FOR THAT IS THEY WILL BE THERE FROM 12 TO NINE THE ENTIRE TIME.
SO THEY WILL STOP, UM, TAKING TICKETS, STARTING AT, I BELIEVE EIGHT, NO, NINE 30.
SO THEY'RE GONNA RIDE, THEY'RE GONNA RUN THE RIDES RIGHT UP UNTIL THE FIREWORKS BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA PULL OUT THE FOLLOWING DAY.
SO THEY'RE LOADING IN, UM, THROUGHOUT THE WEEK UP TO THE EVENT.
SO THEY WILL BE ALL SET UP AND READY TO GO.
WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY WEATHER ISSUES THIS YEAR.
UM, BECAUSE THAT WAS A ONE AND DONE.
UM, BUT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TICKETS THIS YEAR.
SO THERE WILL BE A COST TO THE COMMUNITY.
UM, AND SO WHAT IT WILL BE IS THEY WILL SELL, UM, TICKETS.
THERE'LL BE WRISTBANDS FOR $10.
SO THERE'LL BE A TICKET BOOTH, THEY'LL HAVE THE ZIP LINE, WHICH WAS SUPER POPULAR LAST YEAR.
HE, HE WAS BRAVE AND DID IT AND DID IT AGAIN AND DID IT AGAIN.
WE'LL HAVE THE SPINNING BARREL RIDE, WHICH WE HAD LAST YEAR.
FROLIC RIDE SWING RIDE MIND WINDER RIDE KIDS TOWN FUN HOUSE RIDE HIGH STRYKER GAME TRAILER.
OH, WE'LL HAVE GAME TRAILERS TOO.
REAL X THROWING TRAILER BALLOON.
DART TRAILER, INFLATABLE SLIDE INFLATABLE BOUNCE HOUSE INFLATABLE OBSTACLE COURSE.
UM, LAST YEAR WE HAD THE OBSTACLE COURSE AND SOMETHING ELSE.
UM, WE'LL ALSO HAVE INFLATABLE SKI BALL, INFLATABLE FOOTBALL THROW INFLATABLE SOCCER KICK, NINE HOLE MINI GOLF GAGA PIT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS A GAGA PIT? IT'S WHERE THE, IT'S KIND OF LIKE, UH, A BALL HIT.
IT'S, IT'S A LARGE AREA WHERE THEY HIT THE BALL AT EACH OTHER OVER WITH THEIR HANDS.
AND SO WE'LL HAVE ALL OF THAT AND IT'LL ALL BE, UM, THEY'LL, WE WILL HAVE ATTENDANCE, UM, AT ALL OF THOSE RIDES.
AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GOING TO PROVIDE SOME EXTRA VOLUNTEER SUPPORT AS WELL.
UM, MAINLY FOR THE INFLATABLE, LIKE SKI BALL, FOOTBALL, THROW THE, THE BASIC GAME KIND OF THINGS.
THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE AN ATM MACHINE, UM, THAT THEY'RE GONNA BRING SO THAT PEOPLE HAVE THE ABILITY, THEY CAN PAY CASH, THEY CAN USE THEIR CARDS, UM, TO PURCHASE THINGS, WHICH WILL ALSO HELP THE BEER TENT.
UM, BECAUSE THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY BROUGHT UP LAST YEAR
[00:30:01]
THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE.AND, UM, THE CITY IS NOT GONNA TAKE ON THAT RISK.
BUT THE, UM, THIS COMPANY WILL, WHICH WILL BE GREAT.
AND WE CAN, ANYBODY WHO'S THERE CAN USE THAT FOR CASH, WHICH WILL BE GREAT.
UM, AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA BRING ALL THE GENERATORS AND STUFF THAT THEY NEED.
SO, UM, THIS IS CURRENTLY BEING REVIEWED BY THE CITY'S, UM, INSURANCE COMPANY TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS COPACETIC.
AND I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THAT.
BUT, UM, I ACTUALLY RAN THIS THROUGH THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER AND THE CITY MANAGER AND I GOT THUMBS UP.
UM, WHICH ALSO THEN LEADS INTO THE CONVERSATION OF SPONSORSHIPS, WHICH I'M WORKING ON THOSE LEVELS FOR ALL THE EVENTS THIS YEAR.
UM, SO THAT WE CAN ASK THE COMMUNITY TO HELP SUPPORT THIS.
BUT HONESTLY, I THINK FOR, SO THE CITY'S NOT PAYING FOR IT? NO, WE WILL, WE WILL STILL PAY FOR IT.
BUT TO BE ABLE TO, TO HELP OFFSET THAT COST, OFFSET THE COST FOR THE COMMUNITY.
'CAUSE WE DO HAVE PEOPLE THAT WANNA GET THEIR NAMES OUT THERE AND WANT TO, YOU KNOW, BE IN SUPPORT OF CITY EVENTS AND, AND THAT, SO, WHICH WILL BE GREAT 'CAUSE IT'S, IT'S A HUGE COMMUNITY PARTY.
YOU CHECK OUT THE HOT AIR BALLOON GUY OR NO.
UM, SO I SENT AN EMAIL, SO I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING, BUT I HAVEN'T REALLY FOCUSED ON THAT.
SO, UM, BUT YES, WE'LL BE IN TOUCH WITH THEM.
AND THEN, UM, EVERYTHING IS LINED UP WITH THE FIREWORKS.
WE'RE WORKING ON THE ENTERTAINMENT SIDE OF THINGS AND WE'LL HAVE VENDORS AGAIN.
AND THEN WE'LL ALSO HAVE THE PETTING ZOO.
THE PETTING ZOO IS ALL SECURE AND SET UP WITH THAT AS WELL.
AND I BELIEVE THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY IS GONNA DO THEIR CAR SHOW.
NO WEATHER, HUH? AND NO BAD WEATHER.
SO, UM, HOPEFULLY IF IT DOESN'T, I MEAN, THE ONLY REASON THEY HAD TO CANCEL LAST YEAR IS BECAUSE OF THE RAIN AND RIGHT.
AS FAR AS THE TRAFFIC GOING IN AND OUT THE PARK, WE HAD LITTLE ISSUES LAST YEAR, REMEMBER THEY WERE COMING INSIDE, DRIVING IN AND OUT OR PD OR WALKING.
WE WILL NOT HAVE THAT ISSUE, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF RIDES THAT WE HAVE THIS YEAR.
SO WE WILL, I WILL BE WORKING WITH PUBLIC WORKS ON THAT PLAN, UM, ON WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
FENCING, WORKING WITH THE FOOD TRUCKS, MAKING SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS WHERE THEY NEED TO GO AGAIN, BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE THAT FIELD WILL JUST BE FULL OF ALL THE, THE RIDES AND ENTERTAINMENT KIND OF THING.
SO YES, WE'LL BE WORKING ON THAT.
UM, AND THEN I THINK THE PEOPLE WILL BE EXCITED ABOUT THAT A LOT MORE.
SO, SO THAT WE HAVE A LOT MORE FOR KIDS TO DO.
WE USUALLY KIND OF FROM OUR CHURCH BRING GAMES AND STUFF.
IS THAT SOMETHING WE DON'T WANT, LIKE A LITTLE FREEZER BUBBLES, FACE PAINT KIND OF THING LIKE THAT? OR? SO I WOULD SAY THAT WE COULD PROBABLY HAVE THAT, UM, AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T COMPETE WITH THE RIDES.
SO BUBBLES, FACE PAINT, SOME MAYBE LIKE EVEN CONSIDERING A, LIKE A QUIET ZONE TYPE OF THING.
SO THOSE THAT MAY NEED A BREAK FROM ALL OF THE CRAZINESS, UM, THAT WOULD GOOD IDEA.
THAT BE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
SO YEAH, WE WOULD HAPPY TO, UM, MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
WHAT? BUT I WANT IT TO BE BENEFICIAL FOR YOU.
LIKE WHAT DOES, WHAT DOES OUR, OUR FESTIVAL NEED? RIGHT.
BECAUSE IF WE HAVE ALL THAT, THEN WE DON'T NEED TO BRING OUR STUFF WE CAN.
I I MEAN PEOPLE LOVE THE FACE PAINTING, SO COOL.
SEE BIG FAN IN A COOLER WITH WATER.
I DEFINITELY THINK THAT THE THINGS YOUR CHURCH DOES GOOD BECAUSE THERE ARE GONNA BE PEOPLE THERE THAT ARE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE RIGHTS AND HAVING SOMETHING ELSE FOR THE KIDS TO DO.
ARE WE GONNA HAVE THE PETTING ZOO AND THAT KIND OF THING TOO? IS THAT GONNA BE THE ANIMALS? MM-HMM.
SO AS LONG AS THERE'S THINGS FOR THEM TO DO ABSOLUTELY.
AND LAST YEAR, OF COURSE LORRAINE KIND OF STOPPED IT, BUT WE HAD LIKE THE GIRL SCOUTS MM-HMM.
ARE, ARE WE INTERESTED IN DOING THAT? MAYBE MAKE IT HAPPEN THIS YEAR OR? SURE.
'CAUSE THERE'S EVERY TROPHIES AND EVERYTHING ALREADY.
THE ONLY OTHER COMPLAINT THAT I GOT LAST YEAR WAS THAT THERE WAS NO SHADE TO SIT ME YOUR FOOD OR WHATEVER.
ARE WE GONNA HAVE ANY KIND OF FOOD TENTS? SO WE WILL PROBAB 'CAUSE WE ADDED, WE ADDED THAT ONE TENT.
AND I AM NOT SURE IT WAS BIG ENOUGH.
UM, BUT I CAN LOOK AND SEE WHAT THE COST OF ADDING A THIRD TENT WOULD BE.
SO IT WAS A BIG TENT IN THE MIDDLE.
AND IT WAS, IT WAS ALWAYS FULL.
UM, AND PEOPLE WHO WERE WATCHING THE BANDS USED IT.
[00:35:01]
SO YEAH.I MEAN IT WAS, IT WAS HIGHLY UTILIZED.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE MORE PEOPLE.
I MEAN, WE HAD CLOSE TO 15 OVER A LITTLE OVER 15,000 PEOPLE AND WOW.
SO BASED ON ALL OF THE, THE TRAFFIC COUNTS, THE PEOPLE COUNTS, AND THEN THE ESTIMATES ON A, UM, THE GEO TRACKING AND THAT'S WITH RAIN.
AND THAT WAS WITH RAIN AND THAT WAS REFRAIN.
BUT A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE ARE LIKE, OH, JUST GO DO THIS INSTEAD OF GOING TO THIS FESTIVAL.
SO, UM, SO THEN THE OTHER PART OF THIS IS THE PARADE.
UM, SO I, SO WHAT I'M HOPING IS THAT WE'LL HAVE TWO GROUPS FROM THE COMMISSION, UM, AS WELL AS WHAT I'M GONNA CALL A CHAMPION LEADER FOR BOTH OF THOSE PIECES.
UM, SO THAT THERE CAN BE LIKE THAT MAIN POINT OF CONTACT, UM, AND NOT NECESSARILY NOT FROM THE CITY SIDE, SO THAT IT'S FROM THIS BOARD AND COMMISSION TO LEAD THOSE EFFORTS.
UM, JUST TO ENSURE THAT EVERYTHING IS GETTING DONE AND, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING WAS, HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S ALWAYS A RINSE AND REPEAT TYPE OF THING.
SO DO WE HAVE THE LINKS UP YET FOR VENDORS? NOTHING IS UP YET.
UM, SO I'M WORKING ON UPDATING ALL THE APPLICATIONS AND SO EVERYTHING THAT I TOLD PEOPLE AT THE END OF THE EVENTS AND UP TO THE END OF LAST YEAR WAS THINGS WILL BE RELEASED IN FEBRUARY.
I DIDN'T GIVE A HARD AND FAST BEGINNING, MIDDLE OR END OF FEBRUARY.
AND I'M GLAD BECAUSE, SO IF YOU'RE NOT AWARE, WE WENT THROUGH A REDESIGN ON THE WEBSITE.
SO THERE ARE SOME FUNKY GLITCHES HAPPENING AND TWEAKS AND THINGS MISSING.
UM, IT LOOKS GREAT,
I HAD A COUPLE FOOD TRUCKS, LIKE, IS THAT LINK GOING UP? SO I WANTED TO YES.
SO, AND I, I'VE GOTTEN EMAILS AND I'VE JUST SAID, STAY TUNED, KEEP AN EYE ON IT.
BUT WE WILL, I'LL ALSO SEND OUT EMAILS TO THOSE PAST PARTICIPANTS.
HEY, THE LINK'S LIVE LIKE I DID IN YEARS PAST, SO AWESOME.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED FOR THE 4TH OF JULY TO PLAN? OR, UM, REALLY JUST WHOEVER THOSE TWO OR FOUR KEY PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE.
LIKE, IF YOU'RE GONNA WANNA DO IT AS A CO A CO-LEADER, CO CHAMPION, WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL YOURSELVES, UM, WOULD YOU WANT THAT PERSON TO NOT ONLY BE THERE THAT DAY, BUT MAYBE BE A FRONT RUNNER OF, HEY, YOU WANNA BE PART OF PARADE? HEY, DOES YOUR ORGANIZATION WANT TO BE PART OF THE 4TH OF JULY? YEP.
SO WHO WANTS TO HELP
UM, I KNOW NOT EVERYBODY IS, WELL I'M ALWAYS UP THERE, SO YEAH.
IF I'M OFF THAT WEEK, I WOULD THROW MY HAT OUT THERE, BUT I LEFT IT IN THE CAR, SO.
WELL, AND EVEN, EVEN IF IT'S, IF IT'S, HEY, I CAN'T BE THERE THAT DAY, BUT I WANNA HELP, LIKE, THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS.
I MEAN, WE GOT SIX MONTHS TO KIND OF LAY THIS OUT AND MAKE SURE ALL THE DETAILS ARE SQUARED AWAY.
UM, I, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THE CELEBRATION.
SO I, IT'S, I KNOW WHAT, NOT THAT I'VE DONE THAT JOB, BUT I WAS THERE, SO I KIND OF SEEN HOW TO WORK.
I WOULD HAVE, I GET PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THINGS LIKE THAT.
WELL WE CAN KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT.
AND IF ANYBODY'S INTERESTED AND MAYBE THE PARADE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE 4TH OF JULY? OH, JUST WHEN ARE THE LINKS GONNA START? UH, POPPING UP SOMETIME IN FEBRUARY.
SO BASICALLY RIGHT AFTER THE ART SHOW,
I'M BEING A LITTLE, LITTLE NON-COMMITTAL
SO MARIGOLD PLANNING, MARIGOLD FESTIVAL, SAME SPEECH.
SO, UM, SO WE HAVE NINE MONTHS TO PLAN THAT.
UM, I THINK THINGS WENT REALLY WELL LAST YEAR AND, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY HAS ANY KIND OF FEELINGS ON THE ENTERTAINMENT SIDE OF THINGS OR COORDINATING BENDER TYPE OF THINGS, BUT HOPEFULLY LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CHAMPION FOR THE MAYOR GIRL FESTIVAL.
DID, DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER HOW MANY VENDORS WE
[00:40:01]
HAD? UM, I WANNA SAY IT WAS A GOOD PORTION.UM, AND WHAT DO YOU, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK YOUR ESTIMATE OF PEOPLE THAT ATTENDED? I, I HAVE NO CLUE.
I WAS THERE ON THE SETUP, BUT I HAD TO LEAVE FOR THE DAY.
SO I DIDN'T, UH, I WASN'T, IT WASN'T EXTREMELY BUSY.
THE, THE LOT STAYED OPEN AND AVAILABLE FOR THE MOST PART THE ENTIRE DAY.
BUT IT SEEMED TOWARDS THE EVENING IT REALLY THINNED OUT LIKE A LOT.
AND YOU CAN BASICALLY TELL, OH, I'M SORRY.
I WAS, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, I THINK THAT LAST HOUR THERE WAS HARDLY ANYBODY THERE.
DO WE WANT TO DO IT SHORTER THEN? I THINK AT LEAST BY AN HOUR.
I THINK, I THINK I WOULD NOT BE DOING MY DUE DILIGENCE AS WHEN I WAS AT CITY COUNCIL.
UH, ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, UM, MS. UH, KATE, NO, MS. BAKER, UM, UH, HAS SUGGESTED AGAIN, WE CHANGE THE DATE.
BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT JUNE, BUT NOT IN JUNE, THE MULTICULTURAL FAIR, WE DON'T WANNA INTRUDE ON THAT.
UM, THERE IS THE 4TH OF JULY THIS YEAR AND THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE, THE JUNETEENTH IN JUNE, I'M SORRY, IN JUNE.
THE JUNETEENTH MUSIC FESTIVAL.
THE JUNETEENTH MUSIC FESTIVAL.
SO THERE'S REALLY NOT TIME FOR OUR FESTIVAL THERE.
UM, HER SUGGESTION WAS BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THEY BLOOM.
UM, BUT I DON'T THINK IT FITS ON THAT SCHEDULE.
JULY, UH, I WOULD SAY THE EARLIEST WEEK AGO WOULD BE AUGUST, I WOULD THINK.
AND I THINK WE'RE GONNA BUTT UP TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT, UM, 'CAUSE WE LOOKED AT ALL THE FESTIVALS BEFORE AND WE KIND OF, BUT UP TO ALL OF THEM.
BUT IF WE WANT TO THINK OUT THE BOX, RIGHT.
UM, FOR WHATEVER REASON, THEY'VE ALWAYS, THERE'S LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO SUGGEST WE CHANGE IT.
MAYBE THIS ISN'T, UM, WHAT THEY WANT.
UM, WHAT DO WE THINK ABOUT CHANGING IT UP A LITTLE BIT? UM, NOT JUST THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL, BUT MAYBE AN ART SHOW SHOWCASE WHERE WE BRING ARTISTS IN, UM, LIKE YOU GUYS WANTED TO DO EARLY AND BRING DANCERS AND MUSIC AND NOT ONLY JUST A MIRACLE FESTIVAL, BUT AN ART FESTIVAL.
OR, UM, WE CONTACT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
THEY HAVE THAT BAND THING THAT NIGHT.
UM, TRYING TO CONNECT THAT IN SOME WAY, UM, TO MAKE IT, UM, I DON'T KNOW, CHANGE THE PARTS WHERE IT IS SO WE CAN COORDINATE WITH THAT FESTIVAL AND MAKE IT ALL ONE.
I DON'T, I'M THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX.
UH, BRING IT UP SO WE CAN THINK ABOUT IT.
IF WE WANNA LEAVE IT LIKE IT IS.
I'M NOT SURE WHO MADE THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL WHEN, SO I DON'T KNOW THE ROOTS OF IT ALL.
I THINK IT WAY BACK, IT STARTED EARLIER IN THE YEAR, BUT IT GOT MOVED BECAUSE OF CONFLICTS THAT THAT HAPPENED THEN.
BUT I MEAN, THIS IS YEARS AGO BEFORE I WAS EVEN INVOLVED.
AND ANOTHER THING, I MEAN, IF YOU WANTED TO RESET, YOU COULD NOT DO IT THIS YEAR AND THEN TAKE ALL OF THIS TIME TO PLAN AND RELAUNCH WHATEVER THE NEW FOCUS WOULD BE NEXT YEAR.
I MEAN, MIRACLES BLOOM IN SEPTEMBER IF YOU HAVE TO.
THANKFULLY TINA KNOWS HOW TO DO IT.
I MEAN, 'CAUSE THE OTHER THING TOO IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TWO BACK TO BACK YEARS OF 4TH OF JULY BEING OUR STAR SPANKED HEIGHTS BEING HELD IN JUNE.
NEXT YEAR IT'S JUNE 28TH, AND THEN IT'S JULY 4TH.
SO THOSE ARE ALL THINGS, YOU KNOW, TO KEEP IN LIKE THE BACK OF OUR MIND.
SO I, I JUST CAN'T SEE MOVING IT UP ANY FARTHER.
LIKE I SAID, MAYBE AUGUST, BUT YEAH, AUGUST I THINK WOULD WORK.
THE THING ABOUT IT IS YOU COULD COULD ALMOST TELL WHEN THE FOOTBALL GAMES WERE STARTING AND ENDING BASED ON WHERE THE CROWD COMING AND GOING.
I THINK THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL IS FUN.
WE'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED IT AS A FAMILY.
UM, WHAT'S OUR GOAL? IS IT GETTING PEOPLE CONNECTED? THEN THAT'S WHAT WE DID.
WE GOT ORGANIZATIONS TOGETHER, WE BROUGHT FAMILIES TO IT.
IT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE, THE COMMUNITY LOOKED FORWARD TO.
UM, BETWEEN WHAT, TWO TO, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE 500 PEOPLE,
[00:45:01]
WHICH IS A GOOD NUMBER.UM, DEPENDING ON WHAT WE SPEND ON IT, UH, WE CAN LOOK AT THAT.
BOTTOM LINE, DO THE FOOD VENDORS AND THE THE VENDORS, DO THEY SEEM TO YEAH, THERE'S GREAT, GREAT FEEDBACK FROM LAST YEAR.
I MEAN, WE HAD A LOT OF NEW VENDORS PARTICIPATING.
SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE UP AGAINST OTHER FESTIVALS, PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY ARE STILL ATTENDING, RIGHT? YES.
UH, THE OTHER SUGGESTION FROM UM, COUNCIL MEMBER, UM, BAKER WAS TO PUT IT WITH THE FARMER'S MARKET, BUT LIKE I TOLD HER, THE PARKING WOULDN'T WORK.
SO, UM, BECAUSE THERE'S JUST TOO MANY PEOPLE YEAH.
WELL, AND QUITE HONESTLY, IF WE HAD A BIGGER CROWD THAN WHAT WE NORMALLY HAVE, I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'D PUT ALL THE CARS.
'CAUSE WE FILL THOSE PARKING LOTS.
IT MIGHT EVEN BE TIME TO CONSIDER GOING TO MOVING IT TO TOM CLOUD PARK WHERE WE HAVE A LOT MORE PARKING.
BUT, BUT AGAIN, THERE'S A LOT OF LOGISTICS THAT COME INTO THAT, AND YOU'D HAVE TO THEN SET IT UP LIKE YOU DID MARIGOLD OR THAT YOU DID STAR-SPANGLED HEIGHTS.
YOU'D BE RENTING A STAGE AND ALL OF THOSE MOVING PARTS.
I MISS THE DAYS WHERE YOU USED TO JUST BRING IN A FLATBED TRAILER AND YOU CALL IT A STAGE
SO, BUT AGAIN, I MEAN, YOU CAN, YOU COULD REALLY CONSIDER JUST, YOU KNOW, OR, OR EVEN LOOKING AT DOING SMALLER EVENTS INSTEAD OF A FESTIVAL AND DOING AN ART IN THE PARK.
I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE TALKED ABOUT THAT FOR A LOT OF YEARS AND DOING ART IN THE PARK, BUT ENCOMPASSING ALL THE ARTS.
SO, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE YOUR ART SHOW IN FEBRUARY, WHICH IS THE GREAT SPUR, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, ART IN THE PARK.
AND AGAIN, THEN WE CAN GET THE PARKS MANAGER INVOLVED AND THE PARK AND REC BOARD INVOLVED.
SO IT'S JUST, UM, I ALSO THINK THE MARIGOLDS FESTIVAL HAS GROWN OVER THE YEARS AND IT TAKES A LITTLE WHILE TO GET THAT OUT.
AND IF WE QUIT NOW, THAT'S WHAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT.
WE HAD A LOT OF FIRST TIMERS THE PAST TWO YEARS.
AND UM, AND THEN THE ONES THAT WAS THERE THE YEAR BEFORE THEY CAME AGAIN.
SO, BUT WE DID HAVE A LOT OF FIRST TIMERS.
I WOULD, I WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT DROPPING IT FOR A YEAR, JUST BECAUSE I DON'T THINK, I THINK IT'D BE HARD.
SHOULD BE STARTING OVER AGAIN.
AND I THINK WE'VE BROUGHT SOME REALLY COOL THINGS IN THE, THE LAST COUPLE YEARS TO IT, UM, THAT HAS BROUGHT MORE PEOPLE TO THE FESTIVAL.
BUT, SO MAYBE WITH MARIGOLD THIS YEAR, WE START A SHIFT TO AN ART IN A PARK THEME WITH THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY KNOWS ANY OF THE PAINTERS.
LIKE THEY DO, THEY DO THE PAINTINGS.
LIKE CHURCHES, THEY DO IT TO A SONG OR THEY DO IT WHILE PERFORMERS ARE GOING ON OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY KNOWS OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I HAVE SOME CONTACTS IN THE ARTS.
WELL, I'D SAY LET WE THINK ABOUT IT, BRAINSTORM AND THEN COME BACK NEXT MONTH WITH CAN WE KEEP THE DATE AND EVERYTHING ON THE CALENDAR.
AND THEN I JUST WANTED TO BRING UP COUNCIL MEMBERS' CONCERNS.
UM, THEY'VE MENTIONED IT, BUT SOME OF THEM HAVE MENTIONED TO US BEFORE.
UM, BUT SHE DID COME BACK TO ME YESTERDAY AND VOICE HER CONCERNS.
SO I WANTED TO BRING IT UP TO THE BOARD.
SO WHAT WAS HER CONCERNS THOUGH? UM, THAT HER CONCERNS WAS THAT, UM, I MEAN SHE SUGGESTED, SINCE SHE SUGGESTED CHANGES BLOOME EARLIER IN JUNE, BLOOME ALL YEARS NOW, UM, SHE FELT, SHE SAID, UM, SHE FELT IT WAS A FAILURE WAS HER WORDS.
THAT WAS, SHE FELT LIKE NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE ATTENDED WHEN SHE WAS THERE.
AND SO, UM, IS IT A PROBLEM? SHE CAME, IF SHE CAME LATE IN THE DAY, I COULD SEE IT COULD BE SO SURE.
IS IT A PROBLEM WITH THE CITY? NO, BUT IN COMPARISON TO LIKE, LET'S SAY THE TIP CITY MOM FESTIVAL AND I THINK, WHICH IS MULTIPLE DAYS.
AND THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS COMPARING TO THE OTHER BIGGER FESTIVALS.
BUT HOW LONG HAVE THOSE FESTIVALS BEEN GOING? RIGHT.
AND IF WE CONTINUE, THEN EVENTUALLY WE COULD POTENTIALLY GET THERE.
PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT IT'S THERE.
BUT OVERALL, EVERYBODY SEEMED HAPPY WITH I THOUGHT SO TOO.
JUST A FEW SMALL TWEAKS AND I THINK WE'LL BE OKAY.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE SHE KNEW WE HEARD HER CONCERNS.
UM, AND, UM, IT IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER GOING FORWARD, NOT THIS YEAR, BUT YEARS DOWN THE ROAD
[00:50:01]
IS SOME OF THESE, LIKE THE ARTS, THE STAR SPAND HEIGHTS, THE MARIVILLE FESTIVAL, THOSE REALLY NEED TO BE MULTI-DAY FESTIVALS IF WE'RE GONNA BE ATTRACTING A LARGE RIGHT TYPE OF CARNIVAL COMING IN BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT GONNA DO IT FOR A SINGLE DAY EVENT.THEY, UH, THIS, THIS GROUP IS DOING IT FOR A SINGLE DAY FOR US.
AND IT'S A LOT OF PRIDE, WHICH I'D BE SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THEY WEREN'T EVEN WILLING TO CONSIDER THAT BECAUSE BY EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH THESE PEOPLE IN THE PAST, IF YOU'RE NOT DOING IT FOR THREE DAYS, THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
SO I GUESS I, I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, WE DID USE TO HAVE MULTIPLE DAY FESTIVAL AT STAR SPAND HEIGHTS, AND IT IMPLODED FOR SOME REASON.
I GUESS WE NEED TO KNOW WHY, WHY IT NEVER CONTINUED.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, BECAUSE THAT, THAT WAS YEARS AGO.
BUT I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR YOU.
IT BECAME TOO RELIANT ON JUST A SINGLE SERVICE ORGANIZATION TO RUN IT.
AND THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS, IS THE PEOPLE BASICALLY UNDER 60 YEARS OF AGE JUST DON'T HAVE THE INTEREST IN GETTING INVOLVED.
WELL, WE'RE STILL WITH THAT SITUATION.
SO, BUT WITH ONE ORGANIZATION TRYING TO DO IT AND NOT HAVING ENOUGH BOOTS ON THE GROUND MM-HMM.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE MY CONCERN OF A MULTI-DAY.
BUT, WELL, WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO DO IS GET BASICALLY A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO COME IN OR VOLUNTEER FOR THAT WEEKEND.
I FEEL THAT WE PROBABLY COULD ORGANIZE SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND GET ENOUGH PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO JUST DO THAT ONE SINGLE EVENT, BUT WE'D HAVE TO HAVE MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED AND THAT'S YEAH.
AND, AND THE BEHIND THE SCENES THAT ALL THE WORK THAT GOES INTO STAR SPANGLED HEIGHTS ITSELF, I MEAN, ALL OF THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE INVOLVED HERE WITH THE CITY AND ALL OF THE LOGISTICS.
I MEAN, WE HAD OUR FIRST PLANNING MEETING ALREADY, WHICH IS A WHOLE MONTH EARLIER THAN WE DID LAST YEAR.
AND IT DOES CONTINUE TO GROW IN POPULATION AND OR POPULARITY AS WELL AS THE OFFERINGS BECAUSE WE KEEP TRYING TO JUST PUSH, PUSH IT THAT MUCH FURTHER TO GET IT CLOSER TO WHAT IT USED TO BE.
SO, AND THE FEEDBACK LAST YEAR WAS GREAT.
SO DESPITE, BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING DESPITE THE RAIN, IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'RE GONNA DO EXPAND IN 24.
I MEAN, WE WOULD BE 25 AT THE EARLIEST TO EXPAND EITHER ONE OF THESE TO TWO DAYS AND, UH, AND POSSIBLY REALLY MORE REALISTICALLY 26.
STARTING THIS YEAR WORKING FORWARD.
SO IT'S SOMETHING TO PUT A PIN IN ON YOU.
SO ADDITIONAL BUSINESS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.
UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UM, THE CONVERSATION BROUGHT UP LAST NIGHT IS, UM, AN WE MAY NEED AN EVENT MATRIX SO WE CAN SEE HOW SUCCESSFUL, UM, WHAT OUR GOAL IS TO KEEP THAT IN MIND.
AND, AND THEN WHAT MAKES THAT SUCCESSFUL.
MAYBE HOW MANY INTEN ATTENDEES CAME, OR, UM, HOW MANY VENDORS WERE THERE? SOMETHING THAT IS OUR GOAL CONNECTING PEOPLE.
UM, AND THEN, UM, WHAT MAYBE CITY COUNCIL'S EXPECTING MIGHT WANNA REACH OUT TO THAT AND GET A FULL MATRIX FOR EVERYBODY.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT DESIGNING SOMETHING LIKE THAT? SO WE CAN EVALUATE EACH EVENT, UM, EVERY TIME WE DO IT.
I MEAN, WE'VE KIND OF ARE, WE'VE ALREADY STARTED DOING THAT.
AND WHAT CITY COUNCIL IS WANTING, EXPECTING FROM THIS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PUTTING MONEY BEHIND THESE EVENTS.
WE SHOULD HAVE WHAT WE EXPECT OUR GOALS AND HOW THE OUTCOME IS.
WELL, SHOULD WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM CITY COUNCIL SIT DOWN WITH US AND, UM, I DON'T KNOW.
[00:55:03]
I THINK, UM, I MEAN, I THINK YOU COULD REACH OUT TO THEM AND FIND OUT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF COUNSEL KNOWS WHAT THEY EXPECT, BUT WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL WE ASK.I MEAN, 'CAUSE WE DO, WE DO GET FEEDBACK FROM THEM, YOU KNOW, ON A REGULAR, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE PRESENTATIONS.
SO MAYBE THAT'S A QUESTION YOU CAN POSE AT THE NEXT CONVERSATION.
SO IF YOU GUYS WANNA THINK ABOUT WHAT, WHAT OUR GOALS ARE FOR US, LIKE, AS A TEAM.
WELL, I WOULD SAY WITH THE MOVIE EVENTS, ENTERTAINMENT, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU JUST TALKING ABOUT A TWO, TWO TO FOUR HOUR EVENT, I MEAN RIGHT.
ENTERTAINMENT WOULD BE THE ALL OF OUR EVENTS TO BRING THE PUBLIC TOGETHER.
'CAUSE WHEN WE HAVE THINGS, UM, THAT HAPPEN WITH FAMILIES AND PEOPLE AND BRINGING THEM TOGETHER, IT GIVES THEM A HOMETOWN FEELING.
SO, AND I'M SURE, I THINK THAT'S OUR GOAL.
WITH THE, WITH OUR CITY GROWING SO MUCH WITHIN THE PAST SIX MONTHS, I'M SURE WE WILL HAVE A LARGER OUTCOME WITH ALL OF OUR EVENTS.
SO I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE HOW DO YOU QUANTIFY THAT? MM-HMM.
IS IT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE? RIGHT.
HOW DID THE NUMBER, HOW DO WE MANAGE TO, UM, I MEAN WE'RE, WE'RE PUTTING ON FREE EVENTS THAT HAVE, I MEAN, IF YOU HAD ADMISSION YOU COULD GET A REALLY GOOD ACCURATE COUNT.
WE DO A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF GUESSTIMATING, I THINK.
BUT YOU KNOW, UNLESS YOU'RE GOING TO CHARGE ADMISSION OR ACTUALLY COUNT PEOPLE IN SOME WAY, HOW ARE WE GONNA KNOW, YOU KNOW, WE CAN ALWAYS ASK A COMMUNITY TO EVALUATE OUR EVENT AFTER THE FACT GO ONLINE.
THAT IS A GOOD, THAT IS PROBABLY COMMON BOX, COMMON CARDS OR A RAFFLE THAT WAY.
'CAUSE AT LEAST GETS LIKE EVERYBODY, UH, WELL USUALLY WE JUST GIVE, WE DO A RAFFLE, BUT WE DON'T KEEP IT GIVE IT AWAY.
THEN WE CAN BRING IT TO COUNCIL AND SAY, THIS IS WHAT THE PUBLIC IS ASKING FOR.
MAYBE IN OUR JUNE MOVIE NIGHT, WE CAN JUST HAND OUT A CARD TO EVERYBODY AND TAKE THEM IN AND SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, COULD YOU FILL THIS OUT? COULD YOU BE BENEFICIAL FOR US? AND TO COLLECT IT.
I KIND OF WONDER IF WE WOULDN'T BE BETTER OFF TO JUST PUT A FEW OF THESE LITTLE, UH, SIGNS UP WITH THE QR CODE AND LET 'EM GO DIRECTLY TO WELL, THAT'S TRUE TOO.
MY THOUGHTS, YOUR FEEDBACK PLEASE.
TO CONTINUE THESE ACTIVITIES, WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK.
LITTLE BIT OF BOTH BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THE QR, SO YOU'D PROBABLY JUST DO A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH.
NO, MY FEAR WITH THE CARDS ARE THAT WE'RE GONNA BE PICKING UP A LOT OF TRASH IS THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S, WE COULD DO, WE CAN DO SOMETHING AT THE MARKET TOO.
TO FEEDBACK FROM PEOPLE OR MAYBE JUST SET UP LIKE A, SOMEBODY IN A LITTLE BOOTH OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, JUST KIND, WHICH MIGHT TOP YEAH.
FILL THIS OUT OR SOMETHING AND HAVE 'EM DO IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE AND PUT IT IN THE BOX.
YOU GET A TOP WHERE WE COULD DO A MIRACLE FESTIVAL THIS YEAR, RIGHT? YEAH.
WHEN THEY STOP OUR BOOTH, IF WE DO RAFFLE, YOU COULD MAKE THE CARD AND THEN YOUR NAME IS ON IT AND THAT'S YOUR RAFFLE TICKET.
YOU'RE TWO AT ONCE AND PEOPLE ARE MORE INCLINED TO RETURN THAT.
I COULDN'T LIKE THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, POSITIVE COMMENTS ONLY
WELL, WE WANT THE GOOD AND BAD.
LIKE, BECAUSE WE WANNA BE BETTER.
YOU WANNA LEARN, BE EXCELLENT.
YOU WANNA LEARN FROM WHAT YOU DO.
INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING
SO THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS WE NEED TO VOTE FOR NEW, UM, LEADERSHIP, UH, CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR.
SO IF THERE'S ANYONE INTERESTED IN TAKING CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR? I NOMINATE SHANNON
I COULD I THIRD IT? OH, THANKS.
DO YOU, UNLESS YOU DON'T WANNA I DO ACCEPT.
[01:00:02]
I'M, I'M HAPPY WITH OUR LEADERSHIP RIGHT NOW AND I NOMINATE MS. GWENDOLYN TO BE VICE CHAIR.WELL, DO YOU ACCEPT? I CANNOT ACCEPT.
THE REASON BEING, I AM NO LONGER, WILL NO LONGER BE A RESIDENT OF HUBERT HEIGHTS.
UNLESS I CAN SERVE HERE AT HUBERT HEIGHTS AND STILL I CAN'T DO THAT.
SO WE'RE LOSING YOU AS EVEN A BOARD MEMBER.
SO, OH, MISS SWINDLING, YOU WILL MISS.
I'LL STILL BE COMING TO THE EVENTS THOUGH, SO THANK YOU FOR THE NOMINATION.
WELL THEN IN THAT CASE, I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE MS. TINA DANIELS.
WHEN I WOULD'VE MY FIRST CHOICE.
I, I DON'T GET TO DO IT AGAIN.
WE'RE LIKE, WHAT DO WE DO?
I'M, BUT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE NICE TOO? I WOULD SECOND THE NOMINATION OF MS. TINA IF YOU ACCEPT.
OH, WHAT IS SOMEBODY ELSE UNDERSTOOD? YEAH, I DON'T MIND.
WE GOT A, UH, NEED TO, I HAVE TO HAVE A MOTION FOR, UM, FOR, TO VOTE.
UH, FOR PRESIDENT OR FOR CHAIR.
UM, FOR ME TO BE CHAIR OF ALL THAT'S, UM, I SAY AYE.
I MOVE THAT SHANNON BE, UM, ELECTED CHAIR OF THE BOARD FOR ANOTHER YEAR AND I WILL SECOND THAT.
WE'RE ALL OVER THE PLACE TODAY.
AND THEN WE JUST NEED A MOTION FOR VICE CHAIR.
WELL, YOU GOTTA SAY IT, YOU GOTTA STAY.
SO WE MOVE TO NOMINATE STELLA AS VICE CHAIR OF THE BOARD.
ALL THOSE THAT ARE FOUR SAY AYE.
I'LL EVEN GIVE YOU MY SEAT RIGHT NEXT TO OUR LADY
AND, UM, SO THAT MAKES ME AND STELLA, UM, CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR FOR THIS YEAR.
UM, ALSO, WE WANT TO SAY GOODBYE TO GWENDOLYN.
I AM VERY, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE.
YOU CAN STILL VOLUNTEER THOUGH.
HOW LONG WERE YOU ON THE BOARD? FOUR YEARS.
MAYBE THIS TIME IS GOING BY PRETTY FAST.
YOU JUST DON'T TRYING TO BE THE NEXT PART IS OUR MINUTES, APPROVAL OF MINUTES, PLEASE.
I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE MINUTES FOR, UH, NOVEMBER 20TH, 23.
UM, SO UPCOMING MEETINGS, UM, ALL OF US HAVE A, WAS IT REVISED OR ANYTHING, OR, UH, JUST TO MAKE THE CORRECTION OF THE ONE THAT I, IT WAS A WEDNESDAY, BUT THEN I, I THINK IT, I HAD TO MOVE TO MONDAY.
SO NEW MINUTE OR NEW DATES? UM, OUR NEXT MEETING IS FEBRUARY 21ST, WHICH IS A WEDNESDAY.
AND THEN I WOULD LIKE TO ADJOURN OUR MEETING AT 7 36.
