[ AGENDA PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road January 18, 2024 6:30 P.M.]
30 AND I'M GOING TO CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER.DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO EXCUSE THE ONES THAT AB UH, I SEE UH, ANDY.
AND UH, DID THEY PROVIDE
I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD EXCUSE THEM.
I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS EXCUSE.
SORRY, I'M A LITTLE STICKLESS THE RULES.
UH, RON DID REPLY THAT HE WOULD NOT BE HERE.
THEN THE OTHER TWO WE DO NOT HAVE A VOTE TO EXCUSE.
WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOAT IN TO EXCUSE RON.
UH, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE RIGHT ON TO THE NEXT EIGHT ITEM THERE WITH THE CITIZEN COMMENTS.
SINCE THERE ARE NO CITIZEN HERE, WE CAN GO RIGHT ONTO YOUR OLD BUSINESS AND WE'LL START WITH THE CITY UPDATE.
UM, SO IN REGARDS TO UM, BUSINESS FROM, SORRY IN REGARDS TO THE BUSINESS FROM LAST MEETING, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS GONNA FOLLOW UP WITH YOU GUYS WAS A NO SMOKING POLICY OUT IN THE PARKS.
UM, IN INVESTIGATING THAT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER, I FOUND THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE SOME DATED PARK LEGISLATION WITH QUITE A FEW PARK RULES THAT UM, I WOULD LIKE TO REVISIT.
SO IF YOU GUYS ARE OKAY WITH IT, I WOULD PREFER JUST TO LOOP THAT IN WHEN I REDO THAT LEGISLATION AND THAT WILL PROBABLY BE SLATED TO GO LIKE IN THE LIKE MAY JUNE TIME PERIOD.
AND IN THE MEANTIME WE WILL ABSOLUTELY AS MISTY LIKE SUPPORT ANY PARENT ORGANIZATION OUT THERE THAT'S ASKING PARENTS TO LEAVE THE SIDELINES UNTIL WE HAVE SOMETHING OFFICIAL.
BUT I'M JUST GONNA LOOP IT INTO THAT PROCESS IF YOU GUYS ARE ALL OKAY WITH THAT.
I BELIEVE THAT'S THE ONLY OTHER, UM, OUTSTANDING ITEM FROM LAST TIME FOR ME TO REPORT ON.
AM I, AM I DOING THAT RIGHT THOUGH? AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY ANYTHING? NO, I THINK YOU'RE DOING IT CORRECTLY.
AND WHAT I'D LIKE TO ALSO TIE IN WITH THAT IS WE HAD A POLICY THAT WE HAD BEEN UH, REVIEWING HERE ON THE BOARD HERE, UH, THE PICKLEBALL PLAY FORMAT THAT WE WERE GOING TO USE IN THE PARK FOR PICKLEBALL.
SO THERE WOULDN'T BE A LOT OF DISPUTE AS TO WHO WAS PLAYING AND WHEN AND UH, I THINK WE HAD SET THAT AROUND THE INITIAL REVIEW.
BUT I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO DO THEN IS GO BACK AND SEND THAT OUT TO EVERYBODY TO REVIEW BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING.
I HAVE A COPY OF THAT AND WHAT I'LL DO, I'LL FORWARD THAT TO EVERYONE.
WE COME BACK IN FEBRUARY, WE CAN BRING UP BOTH THOSE ISSUES THEN THE SMOKING POLICY AND THE PICKLEBALL PLAY POLICY.
SO THERE COURTESY, SO FORMAT THE
SO EVERYONE CAN READ HAD NO REASON WHY THEY COULDN'T SEE IT.
I THINK IT SPOKEN POLICY ALSO PROBABLY POSTED ON THE YEAH, WELL WE'LL FIND A WAY TO POST IT IN THE PARK.
SO I'LL GET THAT ACTION OUT AND SERVE THAT SHE WOULD GET THE OTHER AS ISSUE FOR US.
AND THEN SO PICKLEBALL PLAY, WE CAN MOVE TO YOUR NEXT MEETING.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THOSE TWO ISSUES? ALRIGHT, IF NOT, THEN THAT ALL YOU HAVE SIR? YES.
ALRIGHT, THEN WE'LL GO INTO THE YMCA UPDATE.
YEAH, SO JUST A COUPLE THINGS.
UM, UM, RESERVATIONS BOTH FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND THE SHELTERS IN THE PARK SYSTEM ARE OPEN AND ACTIVE.
UM, BOTH IN PERSON OVER THE PHONE, UM, TO THE ONLINE REGISTRATION PORTAL, UM, THAT WE LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR.
UM, SO WE ARE IN FULL SWING WITH RESERVATIONS AND HAVE QUITE A FEW ALREADY FOR JANUARY, UM, THAT HAVE BEEN MADE.
UM, RESERVATIONS FOR THE SHELTERS.
JUST A REMINDER, DO NOT START UNTIL AFTER THE 1ST OF APRIL, UM, AND GO UNTIL OCTOBER 31ST.
AND THEN WITH THE RENOVATIONS AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, IT OPENS UM,
[00:05:01]
TOWARDS THE UM, MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY.I THINK THE UM, ARTS OF UNIFICATIONS ART SHOW IS THE FIRST EVENT.
UM, THAT WILL BE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER IN THE, THE RENOVATED COMMUNITY CENTER.
AND THEN ALSO, UH, TODAY MY STAFF AND I MET AND WE HAVE STARTED PLANNING FOR THE 2024 KROGER AQUATIC.
SO WE ARE IN FULL SWING, UM, WORKING ON IDENTIFYING STAFFING NEEDS, UM, AND GETTING THAT UP AND RUNNING.
SO WE ARE ALREADY PLANNING FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.
ALRIGHT, ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS? ALRIGHT THEN WE'LL MOVE RIGHT UP THERE INTO THE NEW BUSINESS.
AND THE FIRST ITEM THERE IS THE ELECTION OF A NEW CHAIRPERSON.
I THINK WE GOING TO JUST LEAVE THAT OPEN FOR OPEN, UH, NOMINATIONS AND WE WILL FOLLOW ROBERT RUSE OF ORDER.
SO YOU ARE FREE TO NOMINATE WHOMEVER YOU CHOOSE AND WE'LL TAKE THOSE ONE AT A TIME.
I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE CHRIS PAUL
I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE YOU SIR.
YOU HAVE TO EITHER ACCEPT FOR CLIENT HAS NOMINATION.
ALRIGHT, WE HAVE CHRIS HALL NOMINATED CHAIRPERSON.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO? YES, I WOULD.
DO YOU ACCEPT THE CLIENT
YEAH, THEY SAY YOU WANT BE AND SOMEONE HAVE TO STUFF IN THE DOOR.
DO WE HAVE A NO? WHAT ELSE? I'M JUST GONNA SAY I STILL GOT TWO MORE YEARS.
YOU'VE BEEN USING THAT? EXCUSE ME, THREE YEARS.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER NOMINATION? I NOMINATE JUSTIN.
CAN YOU DO MORE FEMALE? MORE THAN ONE? NO.
I THINK YOU NOMINATED ONE PERSON.
OH, WILL SOMEBODY ELSE NOMINATE JUSTICE? JUSTICE ALL WE HAVE JUSTIN.
DECLINE STICKER FOR THE RULES.
ANY OTHER DENOMINATION THEN? DO I HAVE A SECOND FOR ALEX BLACK? I I HAVE A SECOND.
OKAY, DO WE HAVE A SECOND WITH CHRIS? DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'M TRYING TO SEE.
CAN YOU, DO WE HAVE A SECOND WITH CHRIS? SECOND.
NOW AT THIS POINT THEN WE NEED TO HAVE A VOTE.
ALL IN FAVOR OF ALEX BLACK BEING THE CHAIRPERSON SHOW.
WOW, YOU GOT HOOD WEIGHT
I THINK WE STILL HAVE TO, TO TAKE ALL IN FAVOR OF JUSTIN HALL.
JUST WE BE HAPPIER ON THE OTHER.
WELL HAD TO BE AT LEAST ONE, SO, OKAY.
DID ALEX BLACK APPEAR TO BE THE ONE NOMINATED FOR CHAIRPERSON FOR ANOTHER YEAR? ALRIGHT, I DID HAVE A QUESTION.
UH, IS THERE ANYTHING ABOUT THE VICE CHAIR? 'CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING.
WELL, WE GONNA HAVE TO DO THAT ALSO.
BECAUSE, UH, THAT, THAT POSITION GOES ALONG.
ONCE AGAIN, IT'S AN ANNUAL ELECTION.
SO RIGHT NOW THEN WE HAVE THE CHAIRPERSON ELECTED.
AND I GOT 12 MONTHS THERE DENNIS.
NOW WE GO TO THE VICE CHAIR AND WE START ALL OVER AGAIN.
JUST BECAUSE CHRIS, I MEAN, WAS NOMINATED FOR A CHAIR DOESN'T MEAN HE AUTOMATIC NOMINATED FOR VICE CHAIR.
SO ALL ANYONE LET MAKE A NOMINATION FOR A VICE CHAIR ALWAYS CAN'T BE ME
WHY NOT? YOU SAID HE WAS AUTOMATICALLY?
[00:10:01]
NO.I I WOULD LIKE TO RECIPROCATE THE NOMINATE CONCERN DOWN THERE.
SO WE GOT TWO NOMINATIONS, DENNIS AND CHRIS HALL, I DECLINED.
OKAY THEN IT DECLINED ANY OTHER NOMINATIONS AND YOU CAN'T NOMINATE SOMEONE WHO'S NOT HERE.
WHY DON'T WE CALL THE VICE POSITION AND THEN WE OKAY.
ANY OTHER NOMINATION? ALRIGHT, DO I HAVE A SECOND BEFORE CALL? I'LL SECOND.
AND THAT WAS ANDY DID ANDY, RIGHT? YOU GOT BE ANDY.
SHOULD MISSED THAT WAS A BASKETBALL PRACTICE.
ALRIGHT, ALL IN FAVOR OF CHRIS HALL SERVING AS VICE CHAIR.
IT'S NOT THAT BAD AS LONG AS OFFICERS UP EVERYTHING.
ALRIGHT, THAT A SIX TO ONE? OKAY.
THAT'S OKAY CHRIS, WE'LL MAKE IT WORK OUT.
SO IT APPEARS THEN THAT THE CHAIR FOR 2024 WILL BE ALEX BLACK AND THE VICE CHAIR WILL BE CHRIS HALL.
UH, NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO PUT YOU TO WORK THAT DAY.
CHRIS, LET'S GO TO THE NEXT PROCESS.
THERE ARE SIX TWO, THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS.
UM, SO, UM, AND PART OF YOUR PACKET TONIGHT, YOU HAVE A LITTLE WORKSHEET THAT YOU CAN TAKE HOME AS HOMEWORK IF YOU DON'T MIND, TO BEGIN HELPING ME UNDERSTAND THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE DEPARTMENT.
SO WE HAVE A VERY NICE MASTER PLAN THAT WAS DONE ON 2018 AND THERE'S STILL A LOT OF COMPONENTS THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO OUR COMMUNITY.
UM, SO AS I REVISIT THAT THOUGH, ONE OF THE MISSING ELEMENTS IS LIKE A MISSION VISION VALUE STATEMENT.
I KNOW WHY THE DEPARTMENT EXISTS ACCORDING TO LEGISLATION, UH, WHICH I PUT ON THERE.
IT IS JUST ONE NICE LONG SENTENCE FOR YOU, BUT THAT'S NOT, UM, ENTIRELY GUIDING OR ASPIRATIONAL.
UM, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S TOUGH DECISIONS TO MAKE, THIS WOULD ONLY GUIDE ME TO, YOU KNOW, WHAT MAINTAINS THE PARK AND HONESTLY THAT MIGHT BE NOT ALLOWING ANYBODY IN IT, RIGHT?
SO, UM, HELPING ME UNDERSTAND MISSION, VISION VALUES, LIKE WHAT A DEPARTMENT WOULD LOOK LIKE FUNCTIONING AT ITS BEST.
AND THEN ALSO I'D LIKE TO BEGIN THIS PROCESS WITH YOU ALL AS WELL.
SO ON THE BACK THERE ARE JUST A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOARD.
SO, UM, YOU DO HAVE CHARTER LANGUAGE, UM, FOR WHY YOU EXIST.
UM, BUT THEN I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IN YOUR OWN WORDS WHY YOU EXIST, UM, WHAT ANY GOALS YOU MIGHT HAVE FOR THE BOARD ARE.
AND SO WE CAN BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND, UM, OUR SHARED ROLES WHERE WE OVERLAP, WHERE WE'LL BE, UM, DIFFERENT AND DISTINCT.
UM, JUST LIKE ALEX SAID, YOU ALL ARE AN ADVISORY BOARD TO COUNCIL, BUT YOU ALSO ARE AN ADVISORY BOARD TO ME IN A CAPACITY.
BUT I KNOW THERE'S BEEN LOTS OF CHANGE IN THE WAY, UM, THE BOARDS HAVE DONE DIFFERENT EVENTS OVER THE YEARS OR DIFFERENT INITIATIVES.
SOMETIMES YOU FUNDED BOY SCOUT GROUPS AND JUST, YOU KNOW, UM, I WANNA KNOW FROM EACH OF YOU IDEALLY HOW THIS BOARD LOOKS AND FUNCTIONS IN YOUR MIND.
SO, UM, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING ANY THOUGHTS BACK ON THIS AND YOU CAN EITHER JUST BRING IT NEXT TIME OR IF YOU WANNA SNAP A PHOTO OF IT AND EMAIL IT TO ME, ANYTHING TO GET, GET THE FEEDBACK BACK WOULD BE GREAT.
I'M GONNA KIND OF SUMMARIZE IT AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT EVERYBODY THOUGHT AND WHERE WE DIFFER AND WHERE WE WERE.
UM, AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROCESS, UM, IT'S GONNA HELP NOT ONLY US UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING AND HOW WE SHOULD GO ABOUT DOING IT, BUT REVISITING THAT MASTER PLAN AND DECIDING, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THIS OLD AND WE SHOULD REPLACE IT WITH NEW ACTION STEPS.
UM, IS SOME OF IT STILL GOOD AND WE SHOULD PICK THE BALL BACK UP AND ACTUALLY COMPLETE THESE PROJECTS AND UNDERSTAND EACH ONE OF OUR PARKS INDIVIDUALLY AND HOW THEY FUNCTION AS PART OF THE SYSTEM FOR CER HEIGHTS.
SO, UM, THAT'S THE JOURNEY THAT I'M HOPING TO TAKE YOU ON OVER THE COURSE OF 2024.
SO YOU'LL CONTINUE TO SEE THIS PROCESS POPPING UP IN THE NEW
[00:15:01]
BUSINESS AND UM, HOPEFULLY WE WILL DISCUSS EACH PARK INDIVIDUALLY AND EACH PARK KIND OF THEMATICALLY, WHETHER IT'S A BIG REGIONAL PARK, COMMUNITY PARK OR JUST A TINY NEIGHBORHOOD BACKYARD PARK.UM, AND SO IF THERE'S NO OBVIOUS OBJECTIONS TO THAT, LIKE WE'LL JUST CONTINUE DOWN THAT PATHWAY AND I'LL GET A MUCH BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PARK SYSTEM AND THE EXPECTATIONS OF ME AND OF US AND THAT'S WHAT I HOPE FOR.
THE ONLY THING I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT, SINCE THAT STRATEGIC PLANNING THAT'S TELLS ME A LONG TERM PLAN I WANT OUT TO POINT OUT AS WE START DOING THE DEVELOPMENT THAT ADDING MORE PICKLEBALL COURT BASKETBALL COURSES AND SO FORTH.
LET'S DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE IDEA THAT JUST WHY THEY'RE PART OF THE CITY.
IF WE PUT A LOT OF THOSE ACTIVITIES THERE AND MAKE THAT A RECREATION COMPLEX, START WITH THE AQUA CENTER, PICKLEBALL COURT, BASKETBALL COURT, YOU GOT THE SOCCER FIELDS THERE AND SO FORTH.
I'M SAYING BRING THE WHOLE COMMUNITY TOWARDS THE Y SIMILAR TO WHERE YOU HAVE IT DOWN AT CLOUD PARK, YOU GOT CLOUD PARK ON THAT END.
EVERYTHING PUT IN IS SORT OF CENTRALIZED AROUND THE YI THINK THE Y IS IMPORTANT FOR US FOR TWO REASONS.
ONE IS WE TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF TIMES HAVING TEENAGERS THERE UNSUPERVISED AT A LOT OF THE PARKS.
ONCE AGAIN, YOU HAVE ACCESS, YOU KNOW, TO UH, THROUGH TELEPHONES AND OTHER, UM, MEDICINE NEEDS.
SO I'M NOT TRYING TO TELL THE CITY WHAT TO DO, BUT I THINK AN ADVISORY GROUP, RATHER THAN PUTTING ONE EVENT HERE AT THIS PARK, ANOTHER EVENT OVER HERE AT THIS PARK, IF YOU SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY AND YOU PUT IT ALL IN THE SAME LOCATION, IT MAY BE CHEAPER IN THE LONG RUN AND EASY.
YOU KNOW, I THINK FOR THE CITY TO SORT OF MANIFEST, I'M TRYING TO THINK, I MAY HAVE BEEN IN ALBUQUERQUE WHERE I SAW THEY HAD A RECREATION COMPLEX AND THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS GOING.
THERE WAS A Y OVER THERE AND THERE ALL THE OTHER FACILITIES AROUND THERE.
THAT WOULD BE A GREAT WAY OF DOING IT.
BUT IT WAS DONE AS A BIG UNIT, UH, FACILITY.
I THINK THAT EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE THINKING IS RIGHT.
HOW WE WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE PROCESS AND WE'LL PLAN TO VISIT NOT WHEN WE CAN VISIT IN PERSON WHO WANTS TO TAKE FIELD TRIPS, BUT EACH PARK AND EACH PARK AS ITS PART IN THE HOLE.
SO, UM, WE'LL HAVE TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, IF THAT IS A RECREATION COMPLEX WITH THE RECREATION AND SPORT TAKING UP A LARGE BIT OF THE FOOTPRINT.
WHERE DO WE HAVE LARGE SCALE EVENTS WITH VENDORS AND BANDS AND DANCING AND ALL OF THAT BECAUSE, UM, WE'LL ONLY EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF LAND UP THERE, I BELIEVE A LOT OF IT IS NOT USABLE RECREATIONALLY.
UM, OTHER THAN JUST LIKE PASSIVE WALKING BECAUSE OF THE DRAINAGE UP THERE.
UP THERE AT THE EEL BERG AND RECPLEX ON ITS OWN AND THEN WE'LL ALSO SAY, OKAY, IT'S ONE OF SEVERAL REGIONAL PARKS INCLUDING CLOUD AND THE ROWS AND HOW DOES THAT ALL WORK TOGETHER FOR US? OKAY.
SO I THINK THAT IS STRATEGIC WHAT YOU'RE THINKING AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? UH, TO SUGGESTIONS OR CRITICISM? I MEAN, I, I, I TOO WOULD LIKE A A REC CENTER.
UH, I DON'T KNOW IF GOING RIGHT NEXT TO THE Y IS THE IDEAL POSITION, BUT THERE SHOULD BE SOME LAND IN HUMOR.
I HEARD LING'S ABOVE A CORY AREA OR WHATEVER BEING DONATED SOON.
UM, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO TALK TO CITY COUNCIL ABOUT, THAT WE SHOULD HAVE SOME LAND TO BUILD A FACILITY.
YOU WANNA BUILD A AN OUTDOOR RECREATION FACILITY INDOOR, THAT WAY IT CAN BE USED ALL YEAR ROUND THAT ISN'T RELYING ON THE Y IN THEIR PERMIT.
CARRIE HAS A Y ALSO, BUT THEY STILL HAVE A REC.
IS THAT LIKE, ARE YOU THINKING LIKE A REC CENTER, UH, FOR LIKE, FOR LIKE HHBL OR MAYBE EVEN ANYBODY THAT CAN OUTSIDE THAT, OUTSIDE PURPOSES FIELDS TOO, THAT SOCCER? I THINK THERE'S WAYS TO LOOK AT.
SO THE YMCA IS AN ASSET IN OUR COMMUNITY AND IT DOES SERVE THAT FUNDAMENTAL REC CENTER PURPOSE.
AND KERE DOES HAVE A POPULATION DOUBLE OURS.
SO THAT MIGHT BE WHY THEY NEED TWO REC CENTERS.
UM, BUT WE DO HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHER TYPES OF RECREATION BUILDINGS LIKE THAT MIGHT BE LIKE FIELD HOUSES
[00:20:01]
OR LIKE HITTING AND, AND, UM, THINGS THAT THE Y WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CATER TO.SO I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP THEM, YOU KNOW, HE'S YOUR PARKS RECREATION
AND I'M NOT SAYING THE Y PROGRAM, YOU GUYS, YOU GOT KIDS THAT JUST WANNA GO PLAY PICK AND BASKETBALL, THEY GOT VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE GOING ON, THEY GOT BASKETBALL PRACTICE GOING ON, THEY GOT WHATEVER PRACTICE GOING ON.
RIGHT? NO, SAME WAY WITH IF THEY WANT TO GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY SOCCER OR WHATEVER, THEY GOT SOCCER GOING ON, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING DOWN TO CLOUD PARK, WHICH IS FINE AS LONG AS YOU KNOW BASEBALL OR SOCCER'S NOT GOING ON.
SO I MEAN, WE HAVE, WE HAVE A LARGE OPPORTUNITY HERE TO MAKE SOMETHING TO GO HAND IN HAND WITH THE BODY.
UM, I MEAN CHRIS CAN ATTEST THAT IF YOU ARE A PROGRAM THAT NEEDS GYM SPACE, IT'S HARD TO GET IT AND UM, YOU KNOW, IT'D BE SOMETHING THAT IT WOULD OPEN UP A COUPLE DIFFERENT AVENUES FOR REVENUE FOR THE CITY.
SOMETHING ABOUT OH, ABSOLUTELY.
WELL I, I KNOW THAT TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, LIKE CLOUD PARK OR SOCCER NOT USING OR BASEBALL SOFTBALL'S NOT USING IT.
AND THAT'S A BIG ISSUE THE LAST SO YEARS, LIKE TWO, THREE YEARS IS THE FACT THAT SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL, THEY EVEN WANT TO GO MAINLY SOFTBALL, WHICH OUT TO GROWTH FOR LITTLE LEAGUE.
THEY EVEN WANT TO PLAY, YOU KNOW, THE FALL.
BUT WE HAVE THE FIELDS AND YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO WORK WITH THEM AS MUCH SOCCER TRIES TO WORK WITH THEM AS MUCH AS THEY CAN WITH FIELD USAGE.
BUT THEN THERE'S EVEN PEOPLE WANTING, YOU KNOW, LIKE SPRING SOCCER AND YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T FACILITATE SPRING, YOU KNOW, THE GEAR BY SOCCER GAME WITH BASEBALL.
AND THERE'S, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF OPPORTUNITIES HERE.
AND THE THING WITH THE, UH, WITH THE PARKS, UH, MASTER PLAN, THE ONE THING THAT I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT THE OLD MASTER PLAN WAS, YOU KNOW, THEY LOOKED AT THE, THEY COUNT ALL THE SOCCER FIELDS LIKE CLOUD AND ALL THAT AND THEN THEY COUNT ALL THE BASEBALL SOFTBALL FIELDS.
BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT YEAH, WE HAVE PLENTY, BUT THEY, THEY'RE OVERLAPPING.
AND THEN ALSO THEY WERE COUNTING ALL THE FACILITIES AT THE SCHOOL PROPERTIES, WHICH EVERYBODY KNOWS THE RENT THAT THE SCHOOL WAS CHARGED IS, IT IS CRAZY.
IT'S THAT IT'S JUST THE AVAILABILITY.
YOU WANT THE AVAILABILITY AND, AND THEY CHARGE SO MUCH STRUGGLING TO GET IN.
SO IT'S A GOOD REVENUE SOURCE.
I MEAN, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER SOMEONE'S GONNA PUT A REC CENTER UP HERE AND IF THE CITY DOESN'T GET IT, THEN IT'S A LOT OF, IT'S A LOT OF REVENUE THERE.
AND I HEAR WHAT CHRIS IS SAYING AND I AGREE WITH HIM BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE DEMOGRAPHIC AND I CAN SEE IT JUST BEING AT THE Y BECAUSE UH,
MM-HMM
SO I DO THINK, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA TO LOOK AT PUTTING THOSE FACILITIES IN BECAUSE IF THE NEED IS THERE NOW, I THINK WE NEED TO REACH OUT AND GET IT BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE GOING HAVE PEOPLE STARTING COMPLAINING AND CITY COUNCIL GOING HEAR ABOUT IT.
THEN I THINK WE START THAT PROCESS NOW TO UH, UH, LOOK AT GETTING ANOTHER REC CENTER OR REC CENTER SAY, UH, THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF HOW THE CITY WOULD GO ABOUT FUNDING AND LET THEM WORK THE DETAILS AND WE JUST LOOK AT WHAT THINK WE NEEDED, WHAT IT SAID.
YEAH, WE HAD DEFINITELY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THOSE TWO UH, TOPICS? ALRIGHT, ANY WHAT INPUT THERE SARAH? NOPE, I THINK THAT'S, EVERYBODY'S POINTING OUT REALLY GOOD TOPICS AND I HOPE THAT AS WE JUST GO DOWN THE ROAD THAT YOU GUYS WILL GET, UM, AS WE LOOK AT EACH INDIVIDUAL COMPLEX SCENARIO, WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT IT HAS AND WHAT'S LACKING AND THEN THEREFORE COMPILE A LIST OF LIKE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES AND, AND THEN TRY AND MEET THOSE WEAKNESSES IN OUR PLANS AND OUR RECOMMENDATIONS.
ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER COMMENTS BEFORE WE GO TO, UH, ITEM THREE THERE, THE PROGRAMMING FOR THIS YEAR? IF NOT, THEN WE'LL GO ON THEN TO THE 2024 PROGRAMMING.
ALSO IN YOUR, UM, IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU HAVE A LITTLE HANDOUT ABOUT OUR 2024 PROGRAMS. I HAVE A LIST OF CONFIRMED PROGRAMS, PENDING PROGRAMS, UM, AND THEN OTHER CITY SPONSORED EVENTS THAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO BE HAPPENING IN OUR PARKS AND FACILITIES.
UM, SO FOR CONFIRMED PROGRAMS, I'LL START WITH AN ECLIPSE PROGRAM THAT THE YMCA IS GOING TO HOST AND THE PARKS
[00:25:01]
DEPARTMENT'S GONNA COME ALONGSIDE AND HELP WHERE WE CAN, UM, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A NICE FAMILY FRIENDLY FACILITY FOR KIDS, UM, AND, AND FAMILIES TO VIEW THE ECLIPSE.UM, THERE IS ALSO TALK OF OUR PARKS SEEING AN UPTICK IN PATRONS FROM PEOPLE WANTING TO VIEW THE ECLIPSE.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO PREPARE FOR.
UM, I'LL BE TALKING TO, UM, FIVE RIVERS AND SEEING IF THEY'RE PUTTING IN ANY TEMPORARY CAMPGROUNDS IN THE, IN THE PARKS NEAR US AND THAT SORT OF THING JUST TO, SO THAT WE CAN BE FULLY PREPARED AS A CITY FOR WHAT TO ANTICIPATE.
UM, WE WILL HAVE I THINK CLOSE TO THREE MINUTES OF FULL COVERAGE HERE IN APRIL.
YOU DO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE AS YOU GO FURTHER NORTH TOWARD CLEVELAND, SO I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.
OBVIOUSLY IT'S A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE AND WE'LL GO THROUGH IT TOGETHER.
UM, NEXT WE ARE CONTINUING WITH THE FARMER'S MARKET, SO THAT, UM, WILL BE HAPPENING THIS SUMMER ON SATURDAY MORNINGS.
AND BEFORE THAT YMCA HAS COMMITTED TO CONTINUE THEIR FITNESS IN THE PARK, UM, WHICH IS WONDERFUL UP THERE AT THE EIFFEL BURGER.
AND, UM, THE YMCA IS ALSO GOING TO DO A PROGRAM IN OUR PARKS TRAVELING FROM PARK TO PARK.
I THINK THIS IS SIMILAR TO AN OFFERING THAT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE.
UM, AND WE'RE HOPING JUST TO GET MORE PEOPLE OUT IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS AND KIND OF MEET THE KIDS WHERE THEY ARE THIS SUMMER.
SO I'M VERY EXCITED THAT CHRIS IS ON BOARD WITH THAT.
THE SUMMER MUSIC SERIES AT THE HEIGHTS RETURNS, I AM ACTUALLY FINISHING UP CONTRACTS THIS WEEK AND WE WILL HAVE SIX SUMMER CONCERT SERIES OUT THERE RUNNING FROM JUNE THROUGH AUGUST.
UM, AND WE HAVE SOME REALLY GREAT BANDS.
WE HAVE A COUPLE OF, UM, BANDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY TOURING NATIONALLY, COMING OUT TO PLAY OUR SHOWS, SO IT SHOULD BE REALLY FUN.
UM, AND WE'RE GONNA GET SOME GOOD FOOD VENDORS AND THAT SORT OF THING, THING AS WELL THE TRIATHLONS BACK ON.
DO YOU WANNA SPEAK TO THAT CHRIS? I'M NOT AS KNOWLEDGEABLE.
YEAH, SO IT'LL BE SATURDAY, AUGUST 3RD UP AT THE AQUA CENTER, UM, AND AT THE, THE RECREATION COMPLEX.
SO, UM, WE HAVE 300 KIDS LAST YEAR, SO WE ARE LOOKING TO GROW THAT NUMBER AND, AND GET MORE, MORE KIDS AND FAMILIES INVOLVED WITH THAT.
SO, UM, THAT'S START EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AND, AND TAKES US ALMOST UP TILL NOON WHEN THE PARK ACTUALLY OPENS.
SO, AND THE PACERS BASKETBALL CAMP AS WELL.
YEAH, SO WE RUN, UM, A CAMP DOWN AT CLOUD ON THE COURTS.
UM, IT'S NORMALLY IN JULY, UH, AND THEN AT THE END OF IT'S OUR SESSION HERE IN HUBER IS IN THE MORNING.
UM, AND THEN AT THE END OF THE WEEK, UM, WE, THE OTHER CAMP IN THE AFTERNOON IS HELD AT IN SPRINGBORO AT THE KAUFMAN LOT.
UM, AT THE END OF THE WEEK ON THAT FRIDAY WE ACTUALLY, UM, CHARTER BUSES, UM, THEY GO OVER TO INDIANAPOLIS, UM, THEY PLAY THEIR TOURNAMENT GAMES ON, UH, WHAT IS IT? BANKER'S LIFE FIELD HOUSE COURT, UM, AND THEN THEY STAY FOR AN INDIANA FEVER GAME AS WELL.
SO, UM, WE DID THAT EVERY SUMMER BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
WE TOOK A COUPLE YEARS OFF AND WE ACTUALLY STARTED IT UP LAST SUMMER.
UM, I THINK WE HAD SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 60 AND 80 KIDS ACTUALLY AT CLOUD ON THE COURTS AT THE TOP OF THE HILL.
IS THERE A COST FOR THE KIDS TO DO THIS? YEAH, THERE IS.
I'M NOT SURE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
I'M GONNA HELP TRY TO PUSH THAT.
YEAH, I CAN, I CAN ALSO, I GOT, HE NEEDS TO PUSH IT.
SO, SO SPEAKING OF KIND OF PROGRAMS THAT GO WITH THE BASKETBALL, THERE IS A, UH, PROGRAM COMING JUNE 22ND, I BELIEVE IS THE DATA.
AND IT'S BASICALLY A THREE ON THREE TOURNAMENT AND WE'RE GONNA TRY TO GET IT HERE TO DEEPER IN THE SCHOOL.
AND IT'S RAN BY A GROUP THAT IT, UM, THEIR MESSAGES AND, YOU KNOW, PREVENTION OF TEEN SUICIDE, YOUTH SUICIDE.
UH, I THINK THEY SAID THEY HAD LIKE A HUNDRED SOMETHING PARTICIPANTS.
SO I'M GONNA PUSH HARD TO GET THAT HUMOR AND I'M GONNA PUSH HARD TO GET THAT WELL OVER 300 PARTICIPANTS.
THEY HAVE A COUPLE FORMER MBA GUYS THAT COME OUT AND THEY TALK TO THE KIDS, THEY SIGN AUTOGRAPHS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
UM, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE NICE TO BE PUSHED BY THE CITY IF WE, IF WE CAN GET ANY DEEPER, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S A PROBLEMS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE WITH THE CYBER, CYBER BULLYING KIDS.
YOU GOT BULLIED AT SCHOOL, YOU WENT HOME, YOU GOT AWAY FROM IT.
NOW WITH SOCIAL MEDIA, THERE IS NO GETTING AWAY FROM IT.
SO, UM, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE, WE BUMPED INTO LAST YEAR.
UH, AND YOU KNOW, US AS A LEAD, UH, WE'RE GONNA HEAVILY PROMOTE IT, WHETHER IT'S IN HE OR NOT, BUT I'M TRYING TO GET HEBERT AT
IT JUST, WE JUST HAD ONE IN BAIL WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.
YEAH, WELL THAT WAS THE FINE, THE NEW TERM, RIGHT? NO, NO, THAT WAS TERM.
[00:30:01]
BAS OVER THERE IN BEAVER CREEK.THEY HAD A THREE ON THREE TOURNAMENT FOR KIDS.
WELL, THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY IF WE GIVE ENOUGH INTEREST, UM, THIS IS FREE TO PARTICIPATE.
THERE IS, UH, YOU KNOW, YOU TAKE YOUR FREE TEAMMATES, YOU COME, IF YOU, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THREE TEAMMATES, YOU COME AND PUT YOU WITH SOMEBODY.
UM, AND UH, LAST YEAR THEY DID ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
SO THIS, I THINK THE YOUNGEST THEY STARTED OUT WITH WAS THE, AND I THINK THEY WENT ALL THE WAY UP TO FRESHMAN.
SO, UM, THAT'S, I'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THAT SOON, BUT WE GAVE HE HAVE THE PARTS PUSH IT OUT.
YEAH, I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO MARKET THAT.
SORRY, SPEAKING OF BASKETBALL.
NO, IT'S, UM, THE NEXT PROGRAM IS A DISCOVER IN OUR PARKS PROGRAM.
SO THIS IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE POLICE HERE IN HUBER.
AND IT IS TO GET CITIZENS OUT IN OUR PARKS FAMILIES.
UM, WE'RE GONNA HAVE KIND OF A WHO DONE IT ACTIVITY FOR FAMILIES TO DO THE LIBRARIES COMING ON BOARD TO HELP ME WITH A COUPLE OF THEM SO THAT, UM, I CAN HAVE THEIR CREATIVITY AND SKILLSET AS WELL.
UM, AND THEN THE POLICE WILL BE THERE JUST FOSTERING POSITIVE COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS, KIND OF PLAY INTO THE WHO DONE IT THEME AND HELPING PEOPLE SOLVE THE MYSTERY.
UM, IT SHOULD BE A LOT OF FUN FOR FAMILIES AND HOPEFULLY GET SOME PEOPLE OUT IN NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS THAT THEY MIGHT NOT VISIT ALL THAT OFTEN.
AND THEN NEXT IS THE YMCA TRUNK RETREAT.
I THINK I SKIPPED THE EASTPORT ONE.
SO THE NEXT PROGRAM I TO TALK ABOUT IS THE GET OUT IN ESPORT.
SO WE ARE GOING TO BRING A, UM, ESPORT TRAILER, UM, TO OUR PARKS SO THAT KIDS WILL VISIT THE PARK AND THEN THEY WILL PLAY VIDEO GAMES.
SO, UM, WE ANTICIPATE A CROWD LARGER THAN CAN PLAY AT ANY ONE TIME.
AND SO WHILE THEY ARE AWAITING THEIR 15 TO 20 MINUTE TURN TO GET IN AND HAVE A NICE
UM, THE, THE STAFF OF THAT GAMING TRAILER AND MYSELF AND, AND VOLUNTEERS, WE SECURE TO, UM, WE'RE GONNA PLAY LIKE SOME VIDEO GAME IN REAL LIFE TYPE GAMES.
UM, SO WE'RE GONNA BE ACTIVE, WE'RE GONNA BE PLAYING, UM, WE'RE GONNA HAVE JUST SOME THEMATIC ELEMENTS OUT IN THE PARKS SO THAT WE ACTUALLY ARE GETTING KIDS MOVING AND GETTING THEM COMFORTABLE VISITING THEIR LOCAL PARKS AND BEING WITH FRIENDS AND PLAYING.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY GET TO DO THIS REALLY COOL ESPORT ACTIVITY THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF 'EM MIGHT SIT AT HOME AND PLAY ESPORTS ALL DAY RATHER THAN COME TO THE PARK.
SO IT'S KIND OF, UM, YOU KNOW, HITTING THEM AT THEIR INTEREST LEVEL, BUT ALSO GETTING 'EM MOUNTAINS IN THE PARKS AND GETTING 'EM ACTIVE.
SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
UM, IT WILL BE ONCE IN JUNE AND ONCE IN JULY, BUT EACH OF THOSE DAYS WE'LL VISIT TWO PARKS.
AND THEN IN SEPTEMBER, UM, IN AN EVENING WE ARE GONNA BE OUT AT THE EGEL BURGER AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A GRAND FINALE.
SO LOTS OF PRIZES, LOTS OF GIVEAWAYS, THE LIBRARY TRYING TO GET OTHER NONPROFITS ON BOARD TO HELP US PULL THIS OFF.
UM, PROBABLY A DJ, MAYBE SOME SORT OF LIKE FOAM PARTY OR WATER PARTY, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, JUST TO MAKE IT OVER THE TOP AND EXTRA FUN.
WHAT'S THE ESPORT? UH, VIDEO GAMES.
WHAT, IS IT ALL KIND OF SPORT VIDEO GAMES OR IS IT LIKE FORTNITE OR? NO, SO WE'LL BE PLAYING FAMILY FRIENDLY ONES, SO IT WILL BE THINGS, UM, LIKE MINECRAFT AND MARIO KAR AND, AND THAT SORT OF THING.
BUT THEY HAVE ESPORT LEAGUES PROFESSIONALLY FOR ALL SORTS OF VIDEO GAMES AND THEY ACTUALLY ARE AWARDING PRETTY HEFTY COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR THEM NOW.
SO IT'S NOT A TERRIBLE THING FOR YOUR CHILD TO BE INVOLVED IN, BUT ALSO THAT'S LIKE GET 'EM IN THE SUN A LITTLE BIT.
ONE OF THE GUYS FROM HUBER HELPED START THAT.
DOES HE STILL LIVE HERE? UH, HE SPLIT HIS TIME BETWEEN HERE AND EITHER.
I MET HIM TO REACH OUT TO HIM.
HE WAS A COACH AT WAYNE IN HIGH SCHOOL LAST TIME FOR A WHILE.
AND NOW YMCA TRUNK OR TREAT, DO YOU WANNA TALK ON THAT AT ALL, CHRIS OR
UM, YOU KNOW, TONS OF KIDS AND FAMILIES COMING THROUGH, UM, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN AND OUT, UM, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ORGANIZATIONS IN AND OUT CANING THE KIDS.
SO, UM, ALWAYS A GOOD, A GOOD SUNDAY NIGHT.
SO WE DON'T HAVE THE DATE, I DON'T HAVE THE DATE CONFIRMED YET.
UM, BUT I'M SURE THAT IT'LL BE, UM, AT THAT MATTER PART OF THE, UM, OCTOBER.
ARE THEY USUALLY ON A SUNDAY, CHRIS? YEAH, WE DO IT ON A SUNDAY.
IT'S LIKE, UH, SIX TO EIGHT, SIX TO NINE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
[00:35:05]
GREAT.UM, SOME OF THE PENDING PROGRAMS, THESE FIRST TWO YOU'LL NOTICE IN ASTERISK BECAUSE THESE ARE HISTORICAL PROGRAMS THAT THE PARKS BOARD HAS TAKEN HEAVY HAND IN.
UM, THE FIRST IS EARTH DAY AND I'VE PUT SLASH ARBOR DAY BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST, UM, TO PUT AN ARBOR DAY SLANT ON THAT, UM, EVENT.
AND THAT WILL HELP THE CITY IN A NUMBER, UM, OF WAYS.
IT WILL HELP, UM, SHOW THAT WE'RE CELEBRATING OUR DAY AND I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT WE ACTUALLY GIVE AWAY TREES.
UM, SO THEY'VE HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS IN SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES TO THE SOUTH AND, UM, MASON AND MIDDLETOWN.
AND UM, ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED IN MOVING TO HUBER IS THAT YOU CAN DEFINITELY TELL THE AGE OF A DEVELOPMENT BASED ON HOW MANY TREES ARE THERE.
AND I KNOW THAT AS PEOPLE ARE BUILDING NEW HOMES, SOMETIMES THE TREES ARE QUITE COSTLY THAT THE BUILDERS ARE OFFERING YOU.
UM, THEY ALSO ARE TREES THAT WE WOULD GIVE AWAY.
WE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT THEY AREN'T GONNA TEAR UP ANY OF YOUR, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY AREN'T GONNA HAVE A ROOT BALL THAT'S TOO BIG AND GONNA BREAK UP YOUR SIDEWALK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
AND SO BY PLANTING
IT WOULD JUST HELP WITH GREENING THE COMMUNITY, UM, WHICH HAS A NUMBER OF BENEFITS, YOU KNOW, PERTAINING STORM WATER, CLEANING OUR AIR, NATURAL WILDLIFE HABITAT, UH, SHADE, ALL OF THAT.
AND SO, UM, THAT'S AN ELEMENT THAT I'D LIKE US TO ADD, WHETHER IT'S PART OF YOUR EARTH DAM AND YOU RUN THAT ALL HISTORICALLY THE SAME WAY, WHETHER IT, UM, REPLACES IT OR WHERE WE DO, YOU KNOW, TWO EVENTS.
UM, THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO BRING UP FOR DISCUSSION, HENCE THE ASTERISK THOUGHTS.
IDEA THE TREE GIVE AWAY, BUT NOW YOU SAID IT'S, UH, WE WOULD HAVE LIKE A SET NUMBER OR IS IT A PRIME GIVE AWAY OR IT WOULD BE A SET NUMBER SO WE WOULD FIND WHERE WE CAN SECURE 'EM AND AT WHAT PRICE AND THEN THAT'LL KIND OF DICTATE HOW MANY WE BUY.
BUT I WAS THINKING INITIALLY WE'D START SOMEWHERE AROUND A HUNDRED.
UM, AND SO PEOPLE WOULD, WOULD WE'D HAVE A SHEET ONLINE THAT THEY FILL OUT, REGISTER TO GET ONE OR PICK UP TIME, UM, YOU KNOW, INFORMATION ON HOW THEY CAN CALL BEFORE THEY DIG ON HOW TO TRANSPLANT IT CORRECTLY AND ALL OF THAT.
AND THESE WOULD BE A NATIVE TREE.
SO YES, I'M LOOKING AT NATIVE SPECIES AND UM, AND IF TREES AREN'T VIABLE FOR ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES, THERE'S DRAW AN OPTION TO DO SOME SHRUBS.
OH, ARBOR DAY IS THE 26TH OF APRIL.
SO THEY'RE ALL LIKE, LIKE EARTHY AND ARBOR DAY ARE LIKE DAYS APART IT DAY.
ANY COMMENTS THAT BLAKE? UH, NO, I, I THINK THAT SOUNDS AWESOME AND I CAN I THINK, UH, KIND OF COMBINE AND THAT COULD BE ONE OF THE PARTS TO OFFALLY.
AND THEN, UM, WHEN IT COMES TO PLANNING THAT EARTH DAY, ARE YOU TAKING THE LEAD ON THAT? SHOULD I'VE BEEN REACHING OUT TO YOU? UH, NOT YET.
ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SAY READ? I'M, I WASN'T AT, IS THAT OKAY? OKAY, GREAT TOO.
I'M, I MEAN I'VE NOT DONE IT WITH YOU GUYS, BUT I CAN HELP TOO.
CAN WE ALL BRING SOME IDEAS OF THINGS WE'D LIKE TO SEE THERE? COOL.
AND THEN NEXT WOULD BE THE, UM, FALL FESTIVAL.
UM, I KNOW LAST YEAR IT WAS NOT HELD BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND I DON'T KNOW THE OPINIONS ON IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD WANTS TO CONTINUE OR DO YOU WANNA USE YOUR RESOURCES ELSEWHERE? THERE'S A CHUNK OR TREE AT THE Y THAT COULD BE ENHANCED.
WE DO HAVE A TREE LIGHTING THAT ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION DOES, BUT UM, I WAS OUT THERE THIS PAST WINTER AND I THINK THAT I'VE HEARD THE BOARDS PLAY NICELY TOGETHER.
UM, SO MAYBE THERE'S A WAY FOR US TO COME ALONG AND ENHANCE IT.
UM, MORE PEOPLE, MORE MONEY, THAT SORT OF THING.
THEY DID HAVE A WONDERFUL TURNOUT OF 300 PLUS THIS YEAR AND I CAN JUST SEE THAT CONTINUING TO GROW.
SO, UM, THERE MIGHT BE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US JUST TO HELP MAKE IT BIGGER AND BETTER.
ONE THING I HAD BROUGHT UP BEFORE ABOUT LIKE THE TRUNK AND TREAT OR WHATEVER AND IF WE BE ABLE TO GET LIKE THE FALL FESTIVAL AND THE TRUNK AND TREAT AND SMASH 'EM TOGETHER, UH,
[00:40:01]
A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE STAR HILL PUMPKIN BLOW AND I WAS SITTING USING THE I CONVERTER, YOU KNOW, THE SEATING JUST TO HAVE, YOU KNOW MM-HMM.BUT THAT WAS JUST SOMETHING I THREW OUT THERE A COUPLE TIMES OVER THE YEARS.
WE DON'T HAND OUT PUMPKINS ANYMORE, DID WE CHRIS? UH, NO.
'CAUSE WHEN WE, WHEN, WHEN IT WAS FIRST STARTED, UM, AND THAT WAS WHEN IT WAS WITH SULFUR GROVE? IT WAS, THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SFA GROVE DID IS THEY PROVIDED PUMPKINS.
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S MAYBE A CHURCH IN THE AREA, EVEN SULFUR GROVE MAYBE.
UM, I'M NOT THERE ANYMORE SO I CAN'T, YOU KNOW, SAY FOR SURE THAT THEY WOULD, BUT UM, SEE IF THERE'S SOME ORGANIZATION THAT MIGHT BE WILLING TO PROVIDE PUMPKINS FOR CARVING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO HAND OUT.
I LIKE THE IDEA OF AUGMENTING THE TRUNK OR TREAT AND BLOWING IT UP AND MAKING IT BIGGER.
COULD YOU PROBABLY DO LIKE A, YOU SAID THEY'RE TRYING TO TREAT YOU LIKE SIX TO 80, RIGHT? YEAH.
SO COULDN'T YOU START AT LIKE FOUR WITH A PUMPKIN COLORING CONTEST OR DECORATING CONTEST OR WHATEVER YOU WANT CALL IT PUMPKIN CAR.
I DON'T LIKE CHILDREN WITH KNIVES.
KNIVES A LITTLE BORDERLINE, BUT EITHER WAY, I MEAN WE NEED PROGRAMMING FOR ADULTS IN, IN THIS COMMUNITY TOO.
AND IF CHRIS HAS GOT THE KIDS, YOU KNOW, COVERED, MAYBE THAT'S LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BOARD TO, BECAUSE I ENJOY CARVING THE PUMPKIN.
I
I HELP MY KIDS WHEN I GET INTO MY TIME, I LEAVE, YOU KNOW, I FINISH WITH THEM.
IT'S LIKE I DON'T HAVE INTERNET DO MINE, BUT I HAVE A PLACE TO GO.
I WAS JUST SAYING YOU ROLL THAT, YOU START THAT EARLY AND THEN THE KIDS CAN ROLL STRAIGHT INTO TRUNK OR TREAT ONCE ARE DONE THAT WAY IT'S LIKE MORE OF AN ALL DAY EVENT AND WE'RE NOT TRYING TO SMASH TWO HOUR OF PAIN TO GET IN AND TWO HOURS OF PUMPING ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
YEAH, BECAUSE IT TAKES SOME TIME TO GET THROUGH THERE.
WE DID IT TWO YEARS AGO PROBABLY GUYS.
AND IT TAKES SOME TIME TO GET ALL THE THROUGH BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT TURN OUT, LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DONATE CANDY.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING ABOUT MM-HMM.
I MEAN WE COULD DO IT OVER AT THE AMPHITHEATER IN THE GRASS, YOU KNOW, AND YOU COULD PUT 'EM OUT ON THE, MAYBE NOT ON THE, ON THE BENCHES OR WHATNOT, BUT THAT WOULD BE A SPOT THAT WE COULD, THERE'S GREEN SPACE THAT WE CAN UTILIZE TO DO WITH THEM.
AND MAYBE PARTS OF DUPLICATION YOU GET INVOLVED IN THEM AS WELL IF THEY WANTED TO.
AND I MEAN ANY BOARD THAT YEAH.
WATCHING, WELL I GUESS THE CARVING PUMPKINS COULD BE AN ART.
OH, I MEAN THERE GUYS THAT CARVE THERE.
PROFESSIONAL, UH, PUMPKIN CARVERS DOWN THERE.
HAMILTON HAMILTON OHIO'S EVENT OPERATION PUMPKIN.
AND THEY CLOSE THE WHOLE DOWNTOWN AND THEY BRING IN, THEY DO THE JUMBO PUMPKIN LANE AND THEY BRING IN THE PROFESSIONAL CARVERS AND YOU KNOW, THEY SELL SPONSORSHIPS SO YOU'LL BUY A PUMPKIN AND THEY'LL CARGO COMPANY LOGO INTO IT.
OKAY, SO WE'LL CONTINUE ON THAT TRAJECTORY RATHER THAN HAVING TWO INDEPENDENT EVENTS.
WE'RE GONNA GO OUR FALL FESTIVAL UNDER THE TRUNK STREET, SO, AND I KNOW NEW SEASONS MINISTRY HAS BEEN WANTING TO GET BACK IN MORE WITH THE YOUTH OF HUBBERT, LIKE THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF BASKETBALL SPONSORSHIPS FOR US, SO MAYBE THAT'D BE SOMEONE TO REACH OUT TO.
YES, BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO REACH THE NEXT GENERATION MEMBERS OF THEIR CHURCH.
SO, UM, NEXT INDEPENDENT PROGRAMS. THESE NEXT ONES ARE JUST ONES THAT I AM, UH, TENTATIVE PLANNING ON, BUT I'M LOOKING FOR KIND OF SOME PARTNERS THAT CAN HELP PUSH ME OVER THE EDGE.
UM, SO IF YOU GUYS KNOW ANYBODY THAT WOULD BE INTERESTED IN GETTING INVOLVED IN THESE, THE FIRST IS ID LIKE TO HOST A DOG PARK EVENT.
UM, SO JUST A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO GET OUT AND SOCIALIZE.
PEOPLE WILL TELL YOU DOG PARKS OR FOR DOGS, BUT I THINK THERE'RE FOR HUMANS.
UM, AND SO WAYS TO GET PEOPLE OUT THERE, UM, DOING SOMETHING SILLY.
PROBABLY PLANNING IT MORE IN THE FALL SO THAT WE AREN'T, YOU KNOW, HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT THE HEAT AND THE DOGS.
UM, SO ANYBODY UM, ANY DOG ENTHUSIAST OR DOG ORGANIZATIONS HAS ANY CONNECTIONS AT LOCAL RESCUES OR ANYTHING.
I'D LOVE TO GET, UM, JUST MORE PEOPLE PROMOTING IT AND INVOLVED IN HELPING ME RUN IT AND THAT SORT OF THING.
UM, I'D ALSO LIKE TO FIND SOMEONE TO GIVE ME A BUNCH OF FREE TURKEYS, UM, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE, YES, SORRY, I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE DOG.
UH, WE COULD PROBABLY REACH OUT TO THE FOUR BOARD MEMBER BECAUSE WE USED TO HAVE A DOG PARK COMMITTEE BEFORE THE, WE, YOU KNOW, THE, I WAS PART OF THE DOG PARK COMMITTEE
[00:45:01]
AND THERE'S A COUPLE MEMBERS BUT UH, UH, TONY WEBB, UH, THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY THAT WERE STILL INUH, ANY PASSIONATE ADVOCATES THAT CAN HELP ME GET IT OFF THE GROUND, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
AND THEN I, A FAMILY P PASS KICK AND CHEER CONTEST, UM, REALLY GEARED IN ONE OF OUR LOWER INCOME COMMUNITIES TO GIVE OUT FREE TURKEYS AT THANKSGIVING.
SO, UM, EVERYONE THAT WE PARTICIPATE, EVERY FAMILY PARTICIPATES, WE GET A TURKEY.
IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE KIDS PARTICIPATING, WE'LL HAVE SOME LITTLE, UM, YOU KNOW, OTHER PRIZES THAT, THAT THE OTHER CHILDREN WILL RECEIVE AND EVERY FAMILY WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE HOME A TURKEY AND ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE ONE FOR THANKSGIVING.
SO, UM, I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIND SOME BUSINESSES THAT WANT TO PARTNER WITH US AND, AND GIVE THOSE AWAY AND JUST REALLY GOOD MARKETING FOR THEM TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF HELP ENSURE THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING A BRIGHT THANKSGIVING, UM, AT THAT NOVEMBER END OF FOOTBALL SEASON KIND OF A DEAL.
UM, WE WOULD ALLOW ANY CHILD WITH ANY AGE, ABILITY OR GENDER TO ENTER ANY OF THE CONTESTS.
UM, BUT WE WOULD OFFER FOR THOSE.
AND THEN, UM, AN ART IN THE PARK SERIES, UM, TRYING TO FIND, UM, A HOME FOR JUST SOME INQUIRIES THAT WE'VE HAD ABOUT WHERE IS ART.
HAVE YOU HEARD ANY MORE CHRIS FROM OUR GROUP BEFORE I SHARE PROBATION? THEY DIDN'T BACK OUT.
I HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT OUR NOTES IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO OR WE WAITING ON MAIL MAYBE BASED ON THE EVENT APPLICATION I THINK OR THE RENTAL APP.
SO WE'VE BEEN, UM, BUT CHRIS WAS ACTUALLY APPROACHED BY SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK GROUP, UM, AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO A PLAY OUT THAT, UM, EEL BERGER THAT IS OBVIOUSLY STILL LIKE WE'VE JUST BEEN APPROACHED.
IT'S BEEN VERY EARLY STAGES, BUT IF THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA TAKE OFF, UM, I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT WAYS THAT WE CAN BRING OTHER ART OUT THERE.
SO EVERYONE LOVES THE BANDS THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE AND YOU WANNA ROCK AND JAM AND HAVE A GREAT SATURDAY NIGHT, BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON TO HAVE A HARVEST OR SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE MIGHT NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THE TIME.
UM, AND SEEING IF THAT WOULD MAYBE TAKE OFF.
UM, WE HAD A COUPLE OF THE, THE PAINT AND WINE PARTIES.
UM, IT WAS UP AT SHELL GATE IN THE SHELTER HOUSE.
YOU REMEMBER THAT? THE PAINT? I I REMEMBER THE THE LIKE THE PAINT, THE OLD PAINT IN THE PARK.
AND THEY HAD HAD A LADY'S NIGHT WITH WINE.
HAVEN'T THEY TRIED TO, HAVE THEY DONE THAT AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER ALSO? YOU DID THE COMMUNITY CENTER LAST TIME THEY DID IT.
BUT I KNOW, I KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOU DID THAT ONE TIME WITH THE WINE AND ALL THAT AT IT WAS A SHOW AT THE SHOW HOUSE, SO WE HAVE TO THAT WAS PRETTY POPULAR TOO.
YEAH, AND I MEAN THAT COULD BE ONE OF THE COMPONENTS IF WE KIND OF MAKE IT LIKE AN ART IN THE PARK SE MINISERIES.
UM, IT HAPPENED TWO OR THREE TIMES.
UM, NEXT THING IT WOULD BE A BMX AND SKATE EVENT.
UM, PROBABLY SOMETHING A BIT SIMILAR TO THE, UH, INITIAL EVENT THAT HAPPENED OUT THERE, UM, WHEN MONITA OPENED, BUT HAVING SOME SHOWCASES.
UM, WE DO HAVE SEVERAL LOCAL PROFESSIONALS IN THE AREA, UM, FOR BIKING, UH, AND PUNK TRACKS AND MOUNTAIN BIKING, THAT SORT OF THING.
KIND TAPPING INTO SOME OF THOSE RESOURCES, UM, JUST TO GET SHOWCASES OUT TO FAMILIES, DOING SOME GIVEAWAYS, UM, BIKE CHECKS, THAT SORT OF THING.
SO I HAVE TALKED TO MIKE'S BIKES, UM, AND THE MINE GUN MOUNTAIN BIKE ASSOCIATION AND BOTH OF THEM ARE KIND OF TENTATIVELY ON BOARD AND THE NEXT STEPS WILL JUST BE MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A DATE WE CAN AGREE ON IT AND THAT SORT OF THING.
UM, I REALLY WANNA UP PROGRAMMING OUT OF THAT PARK, UM, SO THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WHO AREN'T ENTIRELY FAMILIAR WITH THE OFFERINGS COME TO SEE IT AS, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING EVERYBODY CAN DO.
EVERYONE YOUR CONTENT ON A BIKE CAN LEARN TO DO THE CONTRACT EVEN THOUGH I CAN EVEN BE A LITTLE INTIMIDATING.
SO, UM, AND THEN LASTLY, I HAVE TALKED WITH THE LIBRARY AND UM, WE ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH.
THEY HAVE, THEY WANNA DO A FEW STORY TIMES FOR US OUT IN THE PARK, WHICH IS WONDERFUL.
AND THEN THE, UM, ADULT LIBRARY AND WANTS TO DO A BOOK CLUB WHERE SHE ACTUALLY PICKS SOME BOOKS THAT KIND OF THEMATICALLY MATCH SOME OF THE, UM, ASPECTS OF OUR PARK.
AND THEN THE, THE PEOPLE WHO READ ALONG, UM, COME OUT ONCE A MONTH AND HAVE LIKE A PICNIC ACCOUNT THERE, UM, AT THE PARK AND DISCUSS THE BOOK THAT THEY, THEY ALL READ.
I, ONE OF THE TEEN LIBRARIANS ALSO IS, UM, PLANNING TO COME TO A FEW FARMER'S MARKET DAYS TO DO LIKE SUN CATCHERS
[00:50:01]
AND, AND UM, YOU LIKE SUN DIALS DIFFERENT ART.I THINK OF LIKE MARSHMALLOW CONSTELLATIONS WAS ON HIS LIST.
DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE KIND OF INFORMATIVE ABOUT NATURE BUT ALSO TIE IN THE LIBRARIES OFFERINGS AND AND PROMOTE THAT AND THAT WOULD BE OFFERED FREE TO KIDS COME TO THE FARMER'S MARKET.
AND THEN THE OTHER CITY SPONSORED EVENTS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE FAMILIAR WITH EACH OF THOSE, UM, BUT YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE THEM BACK OUT IN THE PARKS THIS YEAR.
SORRY IT WAS A LITTLE LONG WINDED.
WELL NO I THINK GOOD I TO REPORT.
WHAT I ALSO WANT TO DO VERY QUICK IS TO, UH, REMIND EVERYONE THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED HAVING A, UH, ANNUAL PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT IN
THAT WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A PARTNER WHEN YOU SIGN UP.
GENERAL NEUTRAL, IN OTHER WORDS, YOU PLAY WITH EVERYBODY THERE.
UM, THE DETAILS WE WAS LATER ON BUT WE WERE HOPING TO DO THAT SOMETIME IN JUNE AFTER MEMORIAL DAY.
THE REASON BEING SCHOOL IS OUT AND THE WEATHER'S WARM AND UH, THE TIME TO GET OUT AND MEET THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THERE.
WE PLAYED PICKLEBALL AND JUST A WAY OF INTRODUCING THEM TO THE COURTS BECAUSE I THINK WE HAD TO, WE WENT TO WAIT UNTIL THE COURTS WAS PAINTED.
THE OTHER LINE'S PAINTED NOW, BUT THE COURT ITSELF HAS NOT BEEN PAINTED THE PLAY AREA.
THAT'S WHY I TOLD THAT WE LOOKED AT MAYBE SOMETIME IN JUNE FOR DOING THAT.
NOW PICK A DATE RIGHT NOW IS HARD BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN THEY HAVEN'T PAINTED THE COURTS BUT I'M SAYING WE COULD HAVE PRELIMINARY CLAIM ALREADY IN PLACE AND THEN IT A MONTH OR SO BEFORE WHEN THE COURT OF PAYMENT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND SET IT UP.
I WONDER IF THERE'D BE A WAY TO HAVE A SPOT ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE WHERE YOU ON THE PARKING RECORDS PAGE THAT YOU COULD GO AND SIGN THAT WAY YOU COULD GET A NUMBER PARTICIPANTS IN ADVANCE.
RIGHT? AND YOU COULD EVEN DO LIKE JUST RANDOM PAIRING THROUGH THERE.
MM-HMM
SO YOU COULD JUST PUT A PICTURE OF A SCHEDULE OUT.
THERE WAYS TO THAT I THINK THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL THAT STILL HAVE I THINK ABOUT THAT.
WELL CAREFUL WHICH YEAH, RIGHT.
IS THIS GOING BE JUST LIKE A, LIKE A ROUND ROBIN TYPE TERM THING? WHERE IS THIS GONNA BE LIKE, I KNOW, UH, UH, YEARS AGO WHEN WE FIRST GOT THE DISC GOLF, WE'VE HAD THE DISC GOLF MAYBE A YEAR.
SO THE FORMER MAYOR, HE HELPED PUT ON A UH, UH, A DISC GOLF LIKE HEY THIS IS LIKE, THIS IS WHAT IT IS AND THEY HAD SOME, YOU KNOW, THIS IS SHOWING HOW YOU CAN DO IT.
THEY HAD PEOPLE THAT DO WHAT THEY'RE DOING OUT THERE.
BUT WE ALSO, UH UH, THE CITY PURCHASED AND APPROXIMATELY PURCHASED A WHOLE BUNCH OF DISCS WITH THE LOGO, THE CITY LOGO.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A WAY TO GET LIKE PICKLE BALLS OUT THERE WITH OUR LITTLE CITY LOGO ON, YOU KNOW, MAYBE PARKS AND REC.
WELL LEMME TAKE TWO MINUTES AND EXPLAIN SIMPLE HOW THIS GOES.
I PLAYED IN ONE OVER IN RICHMOND, INDIANA HERE BECAUSE I HEARD ABOUT IT.
I WENT OVER THERE JUST TO SEE WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT AND I REALLY ENJOYED IT.
YOU SIGN UP BY YOURSELF WHEN YOU COME IN.
SEE WE ONLY HAVE SIX COURTS, 24 PEOPLE.
THE FIRST 24 ARE THE ONES THAT PLAY.
YOU MAY HAVE ONE OR TWO AS A BACKUP IN CASE SOMEONE GETS HURT WHILE, BUT YOU HAVE FOUR ACES COURT ONE, FOUR DUCES COURT, TWO ALL THE WAY AROUND.
YOU PAIR 'EM UP AND AFTER EVERY GAME THE WINNERS MOVE UP AND THEY SPLIT THE LUTHER MOVE DOWN THE COURT.
THEY SPLIT AND THE WINNERS SHOULD KEEP MOVING UP.
THE IDEA IS TO BE ON THE TOP COURT WHEN THAT LAST GAME IS PLAYED.
AND ONCE YOU ARE THERE YOU WANT TO STAY THERE.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU ARE ALWAYS CHANGING PARTNER AND MOVE IT UP OR DOWN DURING THE WHOLE DAY.
OKAY? THAT'S THE SIMPLE WAY, WAY IT WORKS.
BUT YOU LIMIT TO FOUR PEOPLE PER COURT.
SO 24 PEOPLE WILL BE ALL YOU WILL HAVE AND THOSE 24 WILL PLAY THE WHOLE TWO OR THREE HOURS THAT YOU LEFT.
IT IS THE TOP VERSION, HOW IT WORK, DETAILS WE WORKED OUT LATER.
THOSE ARE THE DETAILS WE WORK OUT LATER.
USUALLY YOU HAVE A TIME LIMIT ON THE GAME.
12 MINUTES, BLOW THE WHISTLE, WHATEVER THE SCORE IS, RIGHT? 12 MINUTES, GIVE YOU THREE MINUTES UNTIL DENNIS DIAL.
WE SO WE MOVE UP AND WE GOTTA SPLIT AND YOU GOT THREE
[00:55:01]
MINUTES TO GET READY IN THE WHISTLEBLOWER AND YOU START PLAYING AGAIN 12 MINUTES.NOW YOU START TO, WE MOVE UP AGAIN OR DO WE MOVE DOWN? YOU KEEP MOVING BACK AND FORTH.
YOU NEVER PLAY WITH THE SAME PART.
CONSTANT ROTATE THAT ONLY 24 PEOPLE, ALL THAT 24, YOU ONLY HAVE SIX COURTS.
I I WOULD RATHER BE LOSING GO HOME BECAUSE WE ONLY CATER TO 24 PEOPLE RIGHT NOW.
WELL I WELL YOU COULD HAVE LIKE TWO STATIONS.
ONE FROM NINE TO 12 THEN THOUGHT FOUR O'CLOCK.
I AGREE BUT WE ONLY HAVE SIX CORES.
TRYING FIND WAY, KEEP PLAYING.
WELL IF YOU GET MORE THAN THAT THOUGH, IF YOU TRY AND PLAY TWO BIG TOURNAMENT WITH SIX CORES, ONCE AGAIN YOU HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, THEN DO A DOUBLE ELIMINATION OR WHATEVER YOU HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.
I THINK BASED ON THE INTEREST YOU TAKE THE SINGLE DOUBLE ELIMINATION, IF YOU GET ENOUGH TO DO SINGLE, YOU JUST DO SINGLE.
OH AND I, I AGREE WITH YOU A HUNDRED PERCENT THE INTEREST IS DEFINITELY THERE TO YOU.
BUT THAT WHAT I KEEP BRINGING UP ADDITIONAL PICKLEBALL FOR.
YEAH WE HAD, WE HAD THIS, THIS RIGHT HERE WOULD SHOW YOUR DEMAND.
IF YOU HAVE 80 PEOPLE THAT SIGN, IF YOU PICK OF ALL YOU'RE LIKE OH HELL WE NEED REPORTS.
LIKE YOU GUYS JUST STILL FIGHT IT OUT AMONGST YOURSELVES.
YOU GONNA PLAY WITH, BUT YOU GET MORE PEOPLE THAT THAT SHOW YOUR DEMAND WANT MORE IMPORTANCE.
I MEAN I THINK WE CAN, WE CAN PUT LIKE CAPS AND THEN LIKE A WAIT LIST WHEN WE INITIALLY BUILD IT AND RIGHT WHEN WE SEE THE WAIT LIST GET BIG ENOUGH TO ACT, THEN WE JUST LIKE ADD GET ENOUGH.
WELL IF YOU GET 24 2 SECONDS ON SUNDAY YEAH YOU CAN HAVE MANY STATIONS.
YEAH YOU WE CAN RUN IT EVERY SATURDAY.
ALSO WE COULD OR THAT TOO, IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU GET.
YEAH
SO THAT'S A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE.
WE CAN WORK IT OUT AND AND LOGO, PICKLE BALLS.
BRIAN ARE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN THINK OF AS A PROMOTIONAL ITEM.
'CAUSE I DO THINK IT'S GREAT TO PROMOTE THOSE AS A NEW ASSET.
YOU KNOW HOW TO WORK OUT THOSE DETAILS OUT AND GET IT SET UP AND EVERYTHING NOW YOU WOULD BE THE ONE THAT WOULD DO THE ADVERTISING RIGHT? YEP.
ANY OTHER QUESTION ON THAT LEADERSHIP? UH, I'LL GO SUGGEST WE DO ONE IN JUNE BUT WE ALSO WANT LOOK AT MAYBE DOING ANOTHER BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
MAYBE LIKE AUGUST EPTEMBER MAY NOT BE A GOOD TIME FOR WE TO SHOWCASE THEM.
THAT'S WHAT OLD FOLKS, I MEAN I THINK YOU HONESTLY YOU DO THE FIRST ONE.
WE CAN JUST MAKE APPOINTMENTS FOR YOU GUYS TO COME BACK SOMETIME IN THE FALL AND PLAY AGAIN.
ALRIGHT, WELL I SOMETHING OKAY, I'LL GET THOSE DETAILS AND OKAY.
I ADD THAT TO THE LIST AND PICK ABOUT TWO ORT MINUTES.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FOR THE OBJECTIVE FOR THIS BOARD TRYING TO BRING SOMETHING ABOUT PROGRAMS? UH UH, CHRIS, YOU SAID THE TRIATHLON.
UH, IS THERE GONNA BE A CALL RUN THIS YEAR? UH, YEAH.
UM, UH, YOU KNOW, IN THE PAST WE DID THE COLOR RUN WITH THE HALF MARATHON UM, IN OCTOBER, UM, UM, THE ALEX RITCHIE RUN, UH, WHICH WE MOVED UP TO THE Y BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
UM, ONE OF THE COMPONENTS WILL BE THE FAMILY WAS TO GO BACK TO A 5K WILL BE A COLOR RUN AND THAT'LL BE IN OCTOBER.
I, SO YEAH, WE WILL HAVE A 5K AND A COLOR RUN.
WE'RE STILL WORKING OUT THE DETAILS WITH THE RICHEY FAMILY, BUT THAT IS OUR GOAL.
'CAUSE I JUST DIDN'T SEE IT LISTED ON.
ANY ADDITIONAL BUSINESS OR ANNOUNCEMENT FROM, UH, FAIR CHRIS? BOARD MEMBERS.
PROVE A MINUTE IF EVERYONE HAD A CHANCE TO READ THE MINUTES OF, UH, DECEMBER 4TH MEETING.
DID ANYONE HAVE ANY CORRECTIONS? IF THERE ARE NO CORRECTIONS AND EVERYONE DIRECT THE MINUTES, I'M GONNA RECOMMEND THAT THE MINUTES BE APPROVED.
ALL IN FAVOR? ANYONE OPPOSED? ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.
THE MINUTE HAVE BEEN APPROVED.
[01:00:03]
THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA WOULD BE THE, UH, FEBRUARY 15TH MEETING.AND I'M HONOR ALSO RECOMMEND THAT THIS MEETING YOU ADJOURNED.
