[ AGENDA PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road February 15, 2024 6:30 P.M.]
AND WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CALL IT MEETING TO ORDER.HEY, DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO UH, EXCUSE TO WARRANT THAT A TO WELL, I THINK DO LIKE WE DID LAST TIME.
WERE THEY, DID THEY NOTIFY IF THEY WERE GONNA BE ABSENT? THE ANSWER IS I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION.
SO YOU'RE SAYING WE DO NOT ACCEPT THE ABSENCE.
SO NOTED, WE HAVE MADE THAT A COMMENT.
THEN WE'LL MOVE ON THEN TO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS OPEN REMARKS BY THE CHAIR.
AND I HAVE NONE NOW, BUT I'M GOING TO LET, UM, SARAH DISCUSS WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT.
WE CAME IN ABOUT, UH, GET TOGETHER AND GO INTO THE PARK FOR VISITATION.
UM, YES, IF WE WANT TO VISIT THE PARKS, WE CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THAT.
WE CAN SPAN IT OUT OVER ONE MEETING OR OVER TWO.
UM, WE COULD, I COULD EVEN SEND OUT LIKE A BRIEF SURVEY OF THE PARKS WE WANT TO SEE.
SO MAYBE EVERYONE'S FAMILIAR WITH SOME OF THEM.
UH, ALL WE NEED TO DO WHEN WE PUBLISH THE MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT IS SAY WHAT PARK WE'RE GONNA BE AT, AT APPROXIMATELY WHAT TIME SO THAT MEMBERS IN PUBLIC COULD MEET US THERE IF THEY NEEDED TO.
UM, BUT OTHER THAN THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY DO IT.
I I THINK IF WE DO ADD THREE PEOPLE, OH, THIS IS NOT ON.
THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME THAT GREEN WEED'S ON.
UM, SO I THINK IF WE DO ADD THREE NEW PEOPLE IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO WAIT FOR THEM.
HOW MANY TOTAL PARKS ARE THERE? OH, I MEAN FROM, I MEAN ALL OF 'EM.
AND SOME, SOME AREAS WE MAINTAIN AS PARKLAND ALSO, BUT ARE NOT REALLY PARK PARKLAND.
THE ONE I THINK THAT WE TEND TO OVERLOOK IS CANAL PARK BACK THERE ON UH, FIBO AND ENDICOTT.
THAT'S THE ONE WE CAME OLD, DIDN'T LOOK, GOT A NEW SIGN ON.
AS I DRIVE BY THE CHURCH AND IT'S A NICE SIGN ON.
I'LL PASS ON TO THE COMPLIMENTS.
WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO THEN WE'LL LET THAT COORDINATED THAT SO WE CAN FIND OUT WHICH PART YOU WANT TO MEET AT THE NEXT TIME WE MEET.
UM, AND THEN WE CAN ALL AGREE, YOU KNOW, WHETHER GOING TO MEET THERE OR NOT.
NOW WHILE WE ON THAT TOPIC, THE WAY IT LOOKED, NOW WE ARE GOING TO PROBLEM HAVE THREE OPEN MUSICIANS BECAUSE IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT COUPLE PEOPLE'S, UH, TERM EXPIRES MARCH.
SO WE ONLY HAVE FIVE, SIX MEMBERS THEN WE CAN ONLY AFFORD TO HAVE ONE PERSON ABSENT IN ORDER TO HAVE AN OFFICIAL MEETING.
SO IF WE START COORDINATING OUR PLAN FOR NEXT WEEK, NEXT MONTH, IF YOU KNOW IN ADVANCE YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO MAKE IT, LET US ALL KNOW SO WE CAN PLAN OUR SCHEDULE AND NOT SHOW UP AND NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE THE MEETING.
JUST, YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE CHURCH SO THAT IF BRIAN WANT TO GO PLAY BASKETBALL WITH THE KIDS OR SOMETHING, HE, HE, HE, HE CAN DO THAT.
SO JUST LET US KNOW BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MEMBERS DOWN THERE TO DON'T SHOW UP THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND DO THE OFFICIAL MEETING.
SO WE'LL WAIT FOR SARAH TO SET OUT A PLAN FOR THE NEXT MEETING WHERE SHE WANTS TO MEET BECAUSE SHE'S THE ONE THAT KNEW MOST OF THE BEEN TO THE PARKS, UH, IN THE OTHER VISITATION BE THERE.
SO SARAH WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT THEN FOR US.
THEY GONNA BE THE NEXT MEETING.
DID YOU WANT DO IT IN MARCH OR APRIL? PROBABLY.
I THINK MAYBE WE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL APRIL.
THAT WAY IF WE DO HAVE SOME NEW PEOPLE THEY'LL HAVE TIME TO HOP ON AND THE DATE WILL BE A LITTLE LONGER TOO WHEN THE TIME CHANGE MARCH 10TH.
SO WE LOOKED AT OUR COMPANY, WELL WE GAINED AN HOUR DAY UP ON THE END OF THE DAY.
ALRIGHT DAN, SO WE'LL LET THIRD PLAN FOR APRIL MEETING THEN WE ARE ASSUMING WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY BE MEETING ONE OF THE PARK OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, FOR A VISITATION OR WALKTHROUGH.
I JUST WANT TO MENTION, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T BRING IT UP IN AN EMAIL.
THE REFRESHER, ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IS BECAUSE WHEN UH, SARAH BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT SWINGS OR WHATEVER OVER A I CONVERTER
[00:05:02]
HAVE, EVEN THOUGH MOST OF US HAS BEEN THERE, IT IS, IT IS FAR AS TO HAVE EYES RIGHT THERE TO SEE, VISUALLY SEE, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.AND ALSO E ESPECIALLY IF WE ARE GETTING A LOT OF NEW PEOPLE SO WE COULD ALL VISUALLY SEE EACH PARK AND ACTUALLY SEE MAYBE WHAT IS ACTUALLY NEEDED.
'CAUSE THERE'S SOME STUFF LIKE I I MENTIONED BEFORE, LIKE BACK HERE GARY SHERMAN, THERE WAS AN AREA WHERE IT WAS FLAT AND YOU KNOW, THE LANE WAS PRETTY FLAT SO SOCK WAS ABLE TO PRACTICE THERE.
FOOTBALL, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN HJ WISELY FOOTBALL PRACTICE THERE, BUT THERE'S BEEN SOME SINKHOLES THAT DEVELOPED AND SO THE GROUND'S NOT LEVEL AND THERE'S OTHER PARTS HERE THAT WOULD BE NICE IF I, IN MY OPINION, THAT THE GROUND WAS LEVEL SO KIDS COULD PLAY, YOU KNOW, ANY PICK FOOTBALL, FLAG FOOTBALL OR SOCCER OR ANYTHING OUT THERE, BUT THEY'RE WHAT YOU CALL ANKLE BREAKERS OUT THERE NOW.
SO IT JUST, SOME STUFF LIKE THAT I WANT PEOPLE TO VISUALLY BE ABLE TO SEE.
SO IS IT, IS IT FROM THE, THE WEATHER WASHING IN A WAY? OR IS IT TRULY UNDERGROUND? I MEAN IT
SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS WEATHER RELATED OR WHATNOT.
AND WHILE WE WERE ON THAT TOPIC, WHO HAD THE RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THAT, THAT REFER TO YOU OR TO A PUBLIC WORK THERE? UM, I WOULD MANAGE IT WHETHER PUBLIC WORK STAFF IS UTILIZED OR NOT.
UH, SO IF WE'RE TALKING LIKE A COUPLE INDIVIDUAL DES THAT LIKELY WE DO THAT IN HOUSE.
IF WE'RE TALKING GROUND LEVELING, LIKE I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT SOME OF THE PARKS TO INCREASE AS A YEAH.
A RIDGE TO IT, UM, THAT WE WOULD LIKELY BRING IN A CONTRACTOR 'CAUSE IT WOULD BE SO MUCH DIRT AND, AND, AND A LOT OF WORK.
SO SOMETHING THAT ANDY KIND OF MENTIONED THAT IS TRUE A LOT OF THESE PARTS WHEN UH, MR. HUBER WAS BUILDING HIS HOMES UNUSABLE LAND OR WHATEVER, HE'LL DIG A BIG HOLE, PUT ALL THE EXTRA, YOU KNOW, HOUSE WASTE IN THERE SO THAT IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF HOW HOME BUILDING WASTE THAT'S COMPACTING DOWN THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM.
YEAH, WELL IT'S LIKE WHEN THE CITY GAVE THE LANES TO THE SCHOOLS FOR A DOLLAR BY THE WATER TOWER, IT COST OVER A MILLION DOLLARS TO JUST FIX THAT LANE.
'CAUSE THOSE HOLDERS ARE DEBRIS WHEN THEY BUILT THAT SHAWL AREA.
SO, AND, AND IF YOU KNOW, UH, WHERE THE DOG PARK IS THAT USED TO BE BACK IN THE FIFTIES, SIXTIES WAS A CONCRETE FACILITY WHERE THEY BASIC THE CONCRETE TO HELP BUILD IDES.
SO YOU CAN'T, THAT'S WHY THE FENCE POSTS CAN'T GO THAT FAR DOWN IS BECAUSE THEY HIT ALL OF IT BIG CONCRETE.
SO HELP THE CONCRETE BUILDING.
SO I GUESS THE SOLUTION WHEN WE FIND THOUGH ISSUE THEN IS TO REPORT THEM THE
AND WE ALL HAVE HER EMAIL AND UH, PHONE NUMBER.
SO WE'LL KNOW WHO TO SEND ALL THOSE COMMENTS TO.
THEN, UH, ANYTHING ELSE ON THE PARKS IN THE, IN THE GATHERING THAT WE PLAN FOR APRIL? OKAY.
NO OTHER COMMENTS SINCE WE HAVE NO CITIZEN THEN WE ARE GOING TO SKIP PAST THAT ISSUE AND GO STRAIGHT TO ITEM FIVE.
OLD BUSINESS BY MCA UPDATE 30.
UM, THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS BACK OPEN FOR RENTALS, SO, UM, WE'VE BEEN BOOKING UP A TON.
UM, BUT UM, LAST SATURDAY WAS THE ART SHOW.
UM, AND THEN, UM, THIS WEEKEND WILL BE OUR FIRST WEEKEND RENTALS FOR THE SEASON.
UM, TONS OF SHELTER RENTALS COMING IN ALREADY.
UM, SO, UH, THE RENTAL BUSINESS IS, IS PICKING UP QUICKLY.
UM, OTHER THAN THAT, UM, WE'VE STARTED DOING SOME OF, UH, GETTING SOME THINGS ORDERED AND SCHEDULED FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AT THE AQUATIC CENTER THIS YEAR.
AND THEN, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HIRING LIFEGUARDS AND STAFF ALREADY FOR OUTSIDE.
SO WE'RE WELL ON OUR WAY, UM, UH, TO GETTING EVERYTHING READY TO GO FOR MEMORIAL BEDROOM.
OKAY, ANY QUESTIONS TO CHRIS ON THAT PARTICULAR TOPIC? ALRIGHT, THANK YOU CHRIS.
NOW WE GO THROUGH THE CITY UPDATE.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE, UH, SARAH.
SO AS YOU GUYS KNOW, I DID CONTACT, UH, CONTACT OUR TYPICAL CONTRACTOR FOR PLAYGROUNDS IN THE AREA AND THE ONE THAT, THAT, UH, SUPPLIED THE STRUCTURE AT KELBERG THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS.
UM, TO ASK ABOUT SOME DIFFERENT FEATURES TO PUT OUT THERE.
I KNOW IT WAS SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED TO HAVE
[00:10:01]
SWINGS.UM, ONE OF THE, THE ISSUES THAT HE BROUGHT UP WITH SWINGS IS THAT TO HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, ENOUGH BASE SO THAT KIDS CAN PLAY ON THEM, THEN CHILDREN CAN KIND OF JUST MONOPOLIZE THE TIME ON THERE.
AND IF THERE'S A LOT OF CHILDREN AT THIS FACILITY, 'CAUSE THERE'S A CONCERT CROWD OF 300 PEOPLE, UM, THEN THOSE MIGHT NOT BE YOUR BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK.
SO, UH, WE LOOKED AT SOME CLIMBING APPARATUSES BECAUSE KIDS WILL CLIMB UP AND THEN JUMP DOWN AND THEN THE NEXT KID COULD CLIMB UP AND THE NEXT KID COULD JUMP DOWN AND, AND THEY MIGHT TURN OVER A LITTLE QUICKER.
SO I DID SEND YOU GUYS TWO OF THOSE.
I I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU, UM, WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT OR IF NOW THIS PIVOT AWAY FROM SWINGS MADE AS WANT TO LIKE SIT BACK AND DIGEST A LITTLE LONGER, THINK ABOUT THAT MORE.
UM, THEY DID SEND A NICE OVERHEAD SHOT OF THOSE SO YOU COULD KIND OF SEE HOW IT WOULD GO BETWEEN THE EXISTING STRUCTURE AND THE AMPHITHEATER.
SO, UM, THAT IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT, THAT WE REALLY HAD TO BUILD UP THAT LOCATION ON TOP OF THE HILL.
SO TO PUT IT KIND OF MORE TOWARD BRENT PIKE OR MORE TOWARD THE Y WE WOULD HAVE TO DO A LOT MORE SIGNIFICANT EARTH WORK, UH, TO LEVEL IT OUT.
WHEREAS TOWARD THE AMPHITHEATER IS, IS LESS OF A LAND, UH, LESS OF A GRADE THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS.
UM, BUT ANY AND ALL FEEDBACK, I JUST WANT TO OPEN THE FLOOR THAT IF I CAN I REALLY COMMON WEBSITE.
UM, YEAH, THE SWINGS COULD BE, I AGREE, COULD BE NOT ENOUGH TURN OVER FOR THE KIDS.
UM, AND A CLIMBING STRUCTURE LIKE EITHER OF THESE, I COULD TOTALLY SEE MY KIDS FALL OVER VERY GOOD FOR HALF AN HOUR AT LEAST.
SO, UM, YEAH, I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA INSTEAD OF YES, BECAUSE THINKING ABOUT THE LAND, THAT WOULD BE A LOT MORE THAN WHAT WE COULD ACTUALLY GET DONE, I GUESS FOR THE SWING.
SO, UM, YES, I THINK CLIMATE STRUCTURE OF SOME SORT UM, WOULD BE GREAT.
BUT THERE, THERE WAS SOME TALK IN, IN, UH, MISSED A MEETING, UM, AND MAYBE THAT WAS UH, THAT THERE WOULD BE A BASKETBALL COURT, UH, OR PLANS TO ADD ONE UP THERE AS WELL.
THAT LOCATION IS NOT GONNA INTERFERE WITH THE PROPOSED PLANS FOR THE THE COURT.
AM I, AM I IN THE SAME AREA OR IS IT THEY'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO EACH OTHER OR LISTEN, CHRISTIAN PROBABLY HELPED TO THAT BETTER THAN I CAN, BUT I'LL LISTEN TO HER ALSO TALK ABOUT PUTTING IT BACK BY THE AMPHITHEATER IF THAT'S WHERE SHE SUGGESTED PUT IT.
IT SHOULD NOT AFFECT I THINK WHERE WE WERE PROPOSING TO PUT THE BASKETBALL COURT, THE BASKETBALL COURT BE MORE CLOSE BETWEEN THE AMPHITHEATER AND THE AQUATIC SIDE.
I THOUGHT WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING THAT SO THE KIDS COULD COME OUT FROM THE, THE WATER AND THEN AND NOT HAVE TO GO CLEAR.
I THINK IT WAS PUT, I THINK IT WAS PUT IN THAT LOCATION BECAUSE YOU NEEDED ENOUGH FLAT SURFACE.
BUT UH, YES, YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PUT A BASKETBALL COURT ANYWHERE NEAR THIS WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT RIGHT.
BUT YEAH, THE BASKETBALL COURT IS STILL ON THE SCHEDULE BUT I THINK WHAT SHE BRINGING UP AND WHAT I GONNA BRING UP LATER IS THAT SOME OF THESE PROJECTS, TIME IS THE ISSUE.
YOU CAN'T START IT IN AUGUST, YOU GOTTA START EARLY IN THE SPRING, RIGHT.
BECAUSE GETTING THE CONTRACT AND GETTING THE WORK DONE AND UM, UH, SO I THINK IT KNOW BRINGING THAT UP NOW ALLOW US TIME TO GET IT STARTED.
BUT YOU GET TO USE IT BEFORE THE END OF THE SEASON, RIGHT? YEAH.
AND AN INSTALL ON SOMETHING, I MEAN, IS ONE EASIER THAN THE OTHER JUST BECAUSE IT'S LESS OR IS IT A MONTH IS A MONTH NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO OR WHATEVER THE TIME PERIOD? NO, BOTH OF THESE STRUCTURES I WAS INSURED WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET IN AND INSTALL IN JUNE ONE.
UH, WE WOULD LIKELY TRY AND MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF SITE DISTURBANCE THAT WE DO AND THEN LAY SOD, UH, AROUND SO THAT IT WOULD BE PRESENTABLE FOR THAT CONCERT SERIES STARTING IN JUNE AND ALL THAT.
BUT UNDERNEATH THE FEATURE, 'CAUSE IT WOULD BE A RUBBERIZED, UH, IT WOULD MATCH THE SAME SURFACE THAT'S UNDER THE EXISTING FEATURE.
SO THE SOD WOULD BE ON THE, I JUST SAY IT'D BE A NIGHTMARE TO CUT AROUND ALL OF THAT.
THAT'S, BUT IF THERE, IF THERE'S GONNA BE THE YEAH.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENT? I, I WAS GONNA SAY THE OUT OF THE THE CLAPPING STRUCTURES THAT I SEE, I PERSONALLY LIKE THE BUNGEE LOOKING NO MYSELF.
AND I ALSO WONDER, I ALSO WONDER, I SAW WHETHER THEY HAD SOME UH, MUSIC INSTRUMENTS TYPE STUFF.
ONE, I THINK IT'D BE NEAT TO HAVE KIND OF
[00:15:01]
THAT KIND OF STUFF THERE BECAUSE THE AMATOR, BUT THEN AT THE SAME TIME I ALWAYS KIND OF WONDER HOW MUCH GOING ON BOB CONCERT GOING ONI WAS LIKE, IT'S A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD RIGHT THERE.
AND THOSE UM, MUSIC FEATURES THAT I SENT ALONG, THEY DO NOT REQUIRE A PLAY SURFACING UNDERNEATH OF THEM SO THEY COULD GO ALONG A WALKWAY FURTHER AWAY FROM THETHE OR TWO IF WE DECIDE THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANT IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THAT PARK, UH, WELL YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD PROBABLY SOMETHING LIKE HAVE UH, LITTLE STOP STATIONS AROUND LIKE THE WALKING PATH ATE OR SOMETHING.
THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA AND KNOW IF THE OKAY.
UM, OTHER THAN THAT I HAVE JUST BEEN MEETING, UM, WITH LOTS OF PEOPLE GEARING UP FOR THE SPRING.
SO, UM, I DO HAVE A RUNNING SPRING, UH, TASK LIST FOR BOTH MYSELF AND FOR MIKE'S TEAM AND PUBLIC WORKS TO BE WORKING ON.
SO IF ANYBODY DOES SEE ANYTHING AT THE PARK, PLEASE SEND IT MY WAY.
IF I HAVEN'T UM, SEEN IT BEFORE, I DEFINITELY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
'CAUSE NOW'S THE TIME FOR US TO BE MAKING THIS SPRING PUNCH LIST.
SO, UM, IF YOU ARE OUT AND ABOUT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD PARK, YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT'S JUST NOT PERFECT, LET ME KNOW.
UM, AND OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK THE REST OF IT'LL BE COVERED IN THE, THE NEW AND OLD BUSINESS OR NEW BUSINESS, SORRY, ALL THAT WAY.
WELL, THE ARBOR DAY UPDATE, I GUESS I CAN GET BACK, HUH? UM, I, SO I HAVE, UM, TALKED TO, UM, A NATIVE TREE, UM, NURSERY AND IT'S GONNA BE ABLE TO SUPPLY OUR TREES.
UM, SO WE ARE SET TO BE ABLE TO GET A HUNDRED, UM, TREES AND SHRUBS.
WE HAVE A COMBINATION OF ABOUT 75 TREES, 25 SHRUBS IN CASE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A, A YARD THAT IS PERFECT FOR TREE.
UM, THEY ARE ALL, UM, GREAT FOR THE TYPES OF YARDS THAT WE HAVE.
UM, THEY, SO THEY AREN'T GONNA HAVE TWO DIVA ROOT SYSTEMS, THEY'RE GONNA DISTURB PEOPLE'S SIDEWALKS.
UM, SO EVEN AT AN AVERAGE SIZE YARD VIEWER HEIGHT SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE ONE.
AND SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
IT KIND OF GOES INTO THE EARTH DAY DISCUSSION WITH BLAKE NOT HERE.
AND WITH BLAKE GOING TO RESIGN HIS POSITION, I DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE WAS SOMEBODY ELSE WHO WANTED TO LIKE CHAMPION THAT EVENT OR, UM, IF HE WANTED TO PIVOT OR DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THIS YEAR OR IT, IT JUST OPEN UP THAT DISCUSSION.
IF I CAN BACKTRACK HERE A LITTLE BIT.
SO 75 AS A RESIDENT, I SIGNED UP FOR THAT.
AND IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO DIG FOR THAT.
OH, I WAS GONNA HELP BLAKE WITH THAT.
SO, UM, I GUESS YOU GONNA HELP AS WELL? YEAH.
I GUESS WE NEED TO COME UP WITH SOME, I, I GUESS SOME IDEAS THEN, RIGHT? YEAH, TECHNICALLY BLAKE IS STILL YEAH, WITH US UNTIL THE END OF MARCH SO HE CAN JUST REALLY HARD TO GET AHOLD OF RIGHT NOW WITH HIS RESIDENCY.
SO, UM, I WOULD DEFINITELY REACH OUT AND SEE IF HE CAN BRING WHAT HE'S DONE IN THE PAST AND HELP YOU GUYS GET STARTED AT LEAST.
UM, AND THEN ON, IF WE WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND DECIDE ON WHAT DATE TO HAVE THAT NOW.
ARBOR DAY, OR I'M SORRY, EARTH DATE IS A MONDAY.
UM, THE 22ND, I BELIEVE ARBOR DAY IS THE 25TH OR 26TH OF THAT WEEK.
SO WOULD WE PREFER TO DO APRIL 20TH OR APRIL 27TH? LIKE I THINK WE'LL COMBINE THE TREE HANDOUT AND THE, SO WE ALL HAVE ONE DAY OF ONE DAY OF BUSY VOLUNTEERING.
I I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN THAT SATURDAY 20TH OR THE 27TH.
SO YOU VOTE FOR THE 20TH? YES.
DOES THAT WORK FOR EVERYONE? I'M GOOD WITH THAT.
OKAY, WHY DON'T WE DO THIS TODAY? WHY DON'T WE, UH, SUGGEST THAT AT THE MARCH MEETING WE PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA THAT THAT'D BE THE LAST MEETING BEFORE THURSDAY AND APRIL THAT WE GET AN UPDATE AT THAT MEETING NEXT MONTH.
WHAT KIND OF TRADE? WHERE THEY GOING BE JUMPED OFF OR WHATEVER? THEY GOING SAY EVERYTHING, BUT WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
ALRIGHT THEN, SO WE'LL GET AN UPDATE ON THE ARBOR DAY PLANS AT THE MARCH MEETING.
ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? UH, APRIL 20 SIR.
[00:20:01]
APRIL 20TH AT THE COMMUNITY, IT'S AVAILABLE.SO WE MAY, I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET THAT DONE BEFORE WE LEAVE.
I AT, AT PIVOT LOCATIONS TOO, IF WE WANT.
IT'S NICE TO HAVE AN INDOOR SPACE, BUT JUST CASE WEATHER.
DO WE NEED TO SET UP ANOTHER SATURDAY THE 27TH, A BACKUP DAY, EVEN THOUGH END MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IF IT RAINS ON THE 20.
DO WE WANT TO
'CAUSE WE COULD JUST HAVE A RAIN PLAN TO PIVOT TO WHAT WE CAN DO INSIDE.
AND THEN IF, IF WE DON'T HAVE THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND WE STILL WANNA STICK WITH THE 20TH, THEN ANYTHING WE THINK ABOUT, FIND OUT WHERE WE'RE GOING AND THEN ALRIGHT.
THEN ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? HOPEFUL WHO PRIVATE CITIZENS.
THE 21ST AND THE 28TH IS AVAILABLE SUNDAYS, BUT SATURDAYS
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO SUNDAY EITHER.
COULD WE COULD WE COULD GO LATE AFTERNOON TOO SO THAT PEOPLE COULD GO TO CHURCH.
COULD WE DO IT AT THE AMPHITHEATER AND IT RAINS? WE COULD MAKE ROOM AT THE Y THAT ONE MIGHT AS WELL.
PROBABLY DAY IT'S BEEN DAY PAST.
LET'S, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT THE BIG OPEN SPACE, YOU'VE GOT THE PATH AROUND.
THERE'S, THERE'S DIFFERENT, THE EVENT MIGHT LOOK A LOT DIFFERENT THAN IN THE PAST.
I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHAT THIS IS.
IS FARMER'S MARKET STARTED BY THEN OR IS IT? MAY, MAY.
YOU'LL HAVE YMC SOCCER GOING ON SO THAT BRING A LOT MORE PEOPLE TO THE EVENT.
I'LL CIRCLE UP WITH ANDY AND JUSTICE.
SO WE'LL, WE'LL GET A CONVERSATION GOING.
SO NOW WE PART THE, UH, MARKED MEETING.
WE WILL CONFIRM WHERE WE'RE GOING TO MEET.
OKAY, NOW WE GOING TO TALK BIRTHDAY AND AR DAY INTO THE SAME EVENT THERE.
UH, SARAH, I THINK THAT THAT MAKES SENSE.
THEY'RE ONLY LIKE THREE OR FOUR DAYS AWAY FROM EACH OTHER AND, AND THAT WAY, OKAY.
YOU KNOW, EVEN IF WE NEED TO KIND OF, IF WE NEED TO DO THE TREE PICKUP BEFORE THE MAIN EVENT, THEN THAT'S FINE.
WE'LL JUST SCHEDULE OURSELVES WITH SHIFTS.
SO THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE MARCH MEETING UPDATE, RIGHT? YES.
NO OTHER COMMENTS ON THOSE TWO ISSUES.
WE GO TO ITEM 5, 5 5 FEEDBACK OR THE PROPOSED PICK OF ALL RULES.
WHAT? EVERYBODY GOT A LIST OF THEM? EVERYBODY GOT A LIST OUT? WE, I SENT OUT A A ALONG THE LIST ON THE RULES AND ROTATION POLICY.
CHRIS SEEMED TO HAVE CONSOLIDATED THAT INTO TWO SHEETS THAT HE HAD ATTACHED TO, UH, THE PACKET THAT YOU GOT THERE.
AND SARAH, YOU WENT OVER THESE YOURSELF, RIGHT? UM, YES.
SO THESE WERE SENT OUT A, A FEW MONTHS AGO AND, UM, THE ONLY CHANGE I MADE, NO CONTENT, UH, SIGNIFICANT CONTENT CHANGES.
THEY WERE REALLY JUST LIKE SHORTENING IT SO THAT GETTING RID OF SOME UNNECESSARY WORDS SO IT READS MORE CONCISE ON IT PARK SIGN.
WE HAVE ONE THING I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT AND UH, THAT'S ITEM NINE ON THE, ON THE ONE SHEET OF THE PICK ALL GUIDELINES.
UH, I THINK THAT DAWN MIGHT CAUSE THE PROBLEMS DAWN TO DUST BECAUSE THERE'S A PALLET THERE THAT ABOUT 200 FEET AWAY FROM THOSE PICKLEBALL COURTS.
AND I KNOW PICKLEBALL PLAYERS, I TELL YOU WHAT, WHEN THEY SAY YOU PLAY AT DAWN, THEY GOING TO BE THERE AT DAWN AND I THINK THAT MIGHT CAUSE SOME ISSUES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THEM THERE.
THAT WHACK WHACK AT SEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.
I'M LOOKING CERTAIN ABOUT STARTING THAT EARLY.
I I I PLAY UP AND HEALTHY ALL THE TIME IN THE SUMMER.
NOBODY USUALLY GETS THERE UNTIL EIGHT O'CLOCK AND RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET ARE OUR APARTMENT AND EVERYTHING.
SO I DON'T THINK THEY'VE HAD ANY COMPLAINTS.
AND THE PARKS ARE ALL, ARE ALL OPEN DOGS.
[00:25:01]
WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A ER TIME FOR THE PICKLEBALL COURT.YOU'D HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO, I MEAN, BECAUSE IF YOU WANTED TO PLAY BASKETBALL AT COTTONWOOD YOU COULD GO DOWN AND PLAY BASKETBALL RIGHT.
SIX IN THE MORNING AND THE PARK'S OPEN.
SO, SO WELL I'M OKAY WITH IT, BUT I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE AWARE OF THAT BEFORE WE POST THAT.
THE ONLY COMMENT I HAD ON THEN, SO NOW DO WE HAVE ANY UH, OTHER SUGGESTIONS OR CHANGES TO THESE UH, TWO SHEETS? ONE IS ON THE, UH, THE RULES WHEN YOU HAVE MORE THAN 24 PLAYERS FOR THE ROTATION AND THE OTHER ONE TO PICK UP OUR GUIDELINES BECAUSE WHAT THESE ARE DESIGNED TO DO EVERY PART, YOU GOTTA ALWAYS GET THE BULLS WHO GONNA SHOW UP IF THE OWNER COURT, GUESS WHAT? YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET 'EM OFF BECAUSE THEY'RE BIGGER THAN YOU IN MOST CASES.
YOU'RE YOUNGER THAN WE ARE, THEY TALK LOUDER.
AND GUESS WHAT, OTHER THAN GETTING SOMEBODY DOWN THERE TO GET 'EM OFF THE COURT, IT COULD BE A PROBLEM, BUT YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO POSTED IT.
AT LEAST YOU CAN MAKE THEM FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IT.
SO I'M SAYING THAT'S WHAT THESE ARE DESIGNED FOR, BUT I HAVE SEEN PERKS WHERE PEOPLE GET ON THERE, YOU KNOW, WHAT IT PARK TO GET UP ON.
SOMETIMES WE DON'T WANT TO LEAVE
SO THAT'S WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT THESE TO UH, SET UP A GUIDELINE SO WE CAN SET THIS IS THE WAY WE SHOULD BE DOING OR SUPPOSED TO BE DOING IT.
IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE GONNA FOLLOW IT, BUT WE HAVE SOMETHING POST TO TELL THEM WHAT WE EXPECT AND YOU DO IT PER GAME VERSUS BY THE HOUR.
IS THAT, IS THAT HOW I'M READING THAT? YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
I GUESS IF, IF YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR 45 MINUTES, THERE'S NOBODY THERE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I COME UP, YOUR TIME WOULD START, WE STARTED A GAME RIGHT NOW THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD BE YOUR TIME.
BECAUSE THERE'S NOBODY WAITING.
I I GUESS THAT THE, LIKE YOU SAID, YOU DON'T WANT NOBODY IF ALL THE COURT, GOOD EXAMPLE, IF ALL THE COURTS ARE FULL, YOU SHOW UP AND I GAIN IN AFTER YOU SHOW UP, THEN I SHOULD UP LEAVE AND YOU SHOULD HAVE THE COURT.
AND I GO BACK INTO THE LOCATION BACK IN Q BACK IN Q.
IF YOU DON'T START OVER MY GAME END, THIS IS MY FIRST GAME COMING UP.
NOW IF YOU'RE PLAYING, WHEN I, IF I'M PLAYING WHEN YOU SHOW UP AND MY GAME END, I SHOULD LEAVE THE COURT.
I DON'T START OVER AT ZERO ZERO.
IF I'M AT 12 TO 10 OR WHATEVER, CLEAN THAT GAME OUT, YOU START ANOTHER GAME.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THAT? SO THE, THE, YOUR THE, THE GOAL IS TO GET THESE LAMINATED POSTED, UH, UH, ON A SIGN OUTSIDE THE ENTRANCE.
NOW THEY SAID NO SKATEBOARDING, NO UH, BICYCLE STICKERS, WHATEVER IT SHOULD BE BASICALLY THE SAME TYPE, SAME TEXT I SHOULD SAID AND THE SAME COLOR SIGNS.
THE RED AND WHITE I THINK, AREN'T THEY? WELL, I, I WAS ABOUT SAY POLAR COURT HASN'T SIGNED, THEY, THEY CAN MAKE SIGNS SO THEY'LL MAKE NICE AMOUNT.
AND THEY'LL, AND WE'LL GET THEM, THEY'LL BE BRANDED WITH TO FOLLOW WHAT THE PARKS HAVE.
AND THEN ALEX AND DENNIS AT OTHER FACILITIES THAT YOU PLAY AT SIMILAR SET UP WITH RULES POSTED SO EVERYBODY KNOWS.
THE PEOPLE WHO PLAY AROUND THE COMMUNITY, THEY, WHEN THEY SEE 'EM THEY'LL SAY, WELL WE'VE SEEN THEM BEFORE.
BUT SOME PEOPLE TRUST ME,
WELL WHY ARE WE DOING IT? AND YOU GOTTA STOP AND EXPLAIN IT TO 'EM.
SO I'M SAYING BY HAVING IT POSTED MAKES IT LOOK EASIER ENOUGH TO EXPLAIN IT TO 'EM.
ANY OTHER COMMENT BEFORE WE GO AHEAD OVER AND LET SARAH GET THESE DONE? BECAUSE I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT COMMENT NUMBER NINE THAT IF I OPENED IT AT DAWN DAWN TO DO, I WANNA MAKE SURE WE ARE AWARE OF IT.
ARE WE GOING TO HAVE ANYTHING? NO, I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT ONE TIME.
DEFIBRILLATOR AND MAYBE A BASKET WHERE WE GET, WE PUT EQUIPMENT IN LIKE HEALTHY HEADS, EXTRA BALLS AND THEN MAYBE BENCHES FOR THE SIDE OF THE FENCES.
OKAY, LET'S DO DO IT ONE AT A TIME.
I THINK THE ISSUE OF THE, THE BASKET JUST, IT IS LIKE A BIG TUB OR SOMETHING WITH A TOP ON IT THAT JUST CLOSE UP.
YOU PUT EXTRA BALLS IN THERE, YOU MAY HAVE, SO ABOUT KIDS GO BY THERE WITH THE POWER, NO BALLS THEY CAN PLAY, LEAVE THEM THERE.
[00:30:01]
UM, OTHER THAN PEOPLE WANT TO ATE OLD POWER, THEY CAN PUT 'EM IN THERE ALSO.THAT'S WHAT I THINK THEN WAS SUGGESTING THINK THAT THE KIDS GOING BACK AND PLAY WITH AND UH, NOW LET, LET'S DO THE B*****S LATER SO THAT OH, WE GO IF WE WANT THE TUB BEFORE, WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING YOU WOULD BUY SARAH? UM, YES, I COULD BUY IT.
OH, THEN WHY I GET THAT I COULD BUY A TUB.
UM,
UM, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD GO YEAR ONE AND THEN WE SHOULD ASSESS WHAT WE NEED OUT THERE BECAUSE I HAVE IDENTIFIED A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEED WORK AT COMMUNITY PARK.
AND TO BE ABLE TO PUT IT INTO KIND OF, WE HAVE ONE NICE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF WHERE COMMUNITY PARK IS GOING.
UH, WOULD, WOULD BE A NICE SELL.
SO IF WE DECIDE THAT WE WANT, UM, A DEFIBRILLATOR, UM, THAT'S LIKELY SOMETHING THAT I WOULD RUN.
WOULD WE HAVE LIKE LEAGUES AND PROGRAMS SO THAT LIKE OUR LEAD MANAGER COULD BE IN CHARGE OF IT SO IT WOULDN'T JUST BE TAKEN OUT OF THE PARK.
BUT UM, IF WE DECIDE THAT WE NEED A LOANER BOX, THAT CAN DEFINITELY BE ADDED.
UM, I THINK THE, THE DIFFICULTY WITH AN A ED IS THAT IT'S A COMPLETELY UNMANNED FACILITY.
RIGHT? UH, SO I KNOW SOMETIMES WE'LL HAVE THEM IN LIKE THE CONCESSION STANDS OF, OF UM, PARTS.
BUT THOSE CONCESSION STANDS ARE OPEN LOCKED YEAH.
UH, AND IT CAN BE PUT IN AND PUT OUT IF IT IS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING, EVEN THOUGH DURING DIFFERENT TIMES I'VE SEEN THAT HAPPEN AT PARKS BUT THERE THAT WOULDN'T HAVE THAT ABILITY AT COMMUNITY.
OKAY, WHY DON'T I DO THIS? WHY I TALK WITH DENNIS AND A COUPLE OF THE OTHER PEOPLE AROUND HUBERT HERE THAT ARE PLAYING ALL THE TIME AND PLAY OTHER PART AND COME UP WITH A MINIMUM LIST THAT WE THINK YOU MIGHT NEED.
WE MIGHT NEED TO GET IT GOING IF THE THING WE ARE GOING DEFINITELY NEED TO MAKE THE QUEUE SYSTEM WORK FOR THAT AT THE BARE MINIMUM.
LIKE A, LIKE A HOLDER THAT WE ADDRESS.
WHAT YOU NEED THE BARE MINIMUM AND THEN YOU CAN WORK ON THE OTHER LIST, YOU KNOW, IF EVERYTHING COME UP.
IF YOU WANNA JUST PUT IT ALL DOWN AS BARE MINIMUM AND THEN THE NICE TO HAVES, THEN THAT'LL REALLY HELP ME.
THEN I WORK ON GETTING THAT TO YOU THEN BEFORE THE NEXT, BEFORE MARK MEETING.
SOME OF THE THINGS YOU PUT IN THAT BIN, LIKE BALLS AND STUFF LIKE UP AT DUKE PARK, WHAT THEY DO IS THEY HAVE A, A BOX OUT THERE THAT YOU DONATE TWO OR $3 EVERY TIME YOU GO UP.
THEN THEY TAKE THAT MONEY AND BUY 300.
SO IT'S, IT'S IN INDIVIDUALS USE PART THEY PUT OKAY.
THAT'LL GO INTO A MUST HAVE NOW TO GET GOING OR SOMETHING NICE TO HAVE.
WE START NEXT YEAR AT THIS TIME WE AT, DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH MONEY IT COSTS.
I WORKED ON THAT AND THEN IT'S ON THAT THEN NOW, UH, THOSE ARE THE ONLY COMMENTS I HAVE ON THE, UH, PICKLEBALL RULES.
DO I HAVE A MOTION THEN TO, UH, TO ACCEPT THESE AS WRITTEN HERE AND TO GET THERE TO POST THESE AT THE PARK? I'LL, I'LL MOTION, I HAVE A MOTION FROM BRIAN THAT WE ACCEPT THE, UH, TO RULE AND GUIDELINES AS WRITTEN.
SO SARAH, YOU DON'T NEED ANY MORE INPUT FROM US ON THESE.
YOU CAN GET THESE READY BY THE, OKAY.
UH, THE NEXT ITEM ON THE LIST THERE THEN WE ARE GOING TO NEW BUSINESS.
DO WE HAVE ANY NEW BUSINESS BEFORE I BRING UP A COUPLE ISSUES THERE, SIR, YOU HAVE ANY, DO YOU, DO YOU WANT ME TO GO NUMBER ONE RIGHT NOW? YEAH, SIX ONE.
SO THE STRATEGIC PLAN, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, UM, ON THIS ONE.
SO YOU, IN YOUR PACKET, YOU HAVE A LITTLE WORKSHEET HERE ON NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS AND I CAN SEND OUT THIS LIST TOO.
UM, AFTERWARD, UH, IN CASE WE AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE EXISTING MASTER PLAN, BUT CURRENTLY IN THE MASTER PLAN THE IDENTIFIED NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS ARE BELL PLAIN, MIAMI VILLA AND TWIN CREEKS.
UM, OUTSIDE OF THAT, EVERYTHING ELSE IS CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY, A REGIONAL OR A SPECIAL USE FACILITY.
UM, SO I WANTED YOUR THOUGHTS.
[00:35:01]
ARE OKAY APPROPRIATELY CATEGORIZED? DO YOU WANT ME TO LIST THEM AGAIN? YEAH, PLEASE.BELL PLAYED MIAMI VI VILLA TWIN AND TWIN CREEKS AND THAT'S MIAMI VILLA.
SO, UM, SOME OF THE COMMON CHARACTERISTICS WHEN YOU JUST LOOK UP WHAT A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK IS, IS THAT THEY WOULD FEATURE GREENS, GREEN SPACE PLAY AREAS AND THEN OTHER AMENITIES TEND TO DIFFER BASED ON LIKE PERSONALITY OF NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT THEY'RE OFTEN THOUGHT OF AS AN EXTENSION OF YOUR BACKYARD.
SO IT'S, IT'S SOMEWHERE YOU GO EASILY AND EXCESSIVELY TO DO SIMILAR THINGS YOU MIGHT DO IN YOUR BACKYARD.
UM, THEY TEND TO PROMOTE SOCIAL INTERACTIONS AND LARGELY PASSIVE ACTIVITIES.
SO NOT A LOT OF ORGANIZED ACTIVITY HAPPENING THERE.
UM, MOST OF THE USE IS INFORMAL, BUT IT ISN'T UNCOMMON TO FIND A SPORTS TEAM PRACTICING OUT IN A GREEN SPACE.
UM, AND ALSO MANY NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS DO OFFER SHELTER RESERVATIONS.
YES, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY, I KNOW BELL PLAYING, UH, WITH THE
AND THEN OF COURSE NOW I, UH, MY GRADE DID PUT OUT A QUARTER POTTY FOR THE FALL SEASON.
SO, UH, I DO HAVE LIKE TWO OR THREE TEAMS THAT PRACTICE UP THERE.
SO IT'S NOT, UM, I THINK SOMETIMES OUR MASTER PLAN GETS HUNG UP ON, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S A, A SPORTS TEAM USING IT OR IF THERE'S A SHELTER RENTAL AVAILABLE, THEN NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S A COMMUNITY LEVEL OFFERING.
UM, AND I, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE WAY TO INTERPRET IT.
OR WE COULD GO AN OPPOSITE WAY AND INSTEAD LOOK AT SHARED AMENITIES AND THE SHARED SPACE THAT WE ENVISION FOR THE PARK.
UM, SO I THINK THAT BELL PLAINE MIAMI VILLAGE AND TWIN CREEKS WERE APPROPRIATELY CATEGORIZED AS NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
UM, AND THEN I WANTED TO KIND OF PICK YOUR BRAIN ON COTTONWOOD, GARY SHERMAN AND GANS.
WE CONSIDER THOSE COMMUNITY OR NEIGHBORHOOD AND, AND YOU ALL ARE GONNA KNOW SO MUCH BETTER THAN ME, BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK BRIAN? UH, OF COURSE COMMUNITY COTTONWOOD AND UH, SHELL GATE I THINK ARE COMMUNITY PARKS.
GARY SHERMAN IS, IT'S ALMOST, YOU KNOW, IT'S ON THAT CUSP, THE ONE, THE ONE THING.
BUT EVEN THOUGH COTTONWOOD AND SO COMMUNITY LOSS, IT'S UH, IT'S UH, BATHROOMS AND THEN, UH, COTTONWOOD HAD BATH OR HAS BATHROOMS, BUT THEY'RE ALWAYS LOCKED.
SO I MEAN THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS IS THE FACT THAT YOU, WHEN YOU RENT THE SHELTER, YOU HAVE A AVAILABLE BATHROOM.
THAT'S REALLY WHAT MAKES THE CUNY PARK.
GARY SHERMAN LACKS THAT RIGHT NOW.
THEY DID HAVE A WORK POTTY ADDED, BUT SO IT IS, IT'S ON THE CUSP OF BEING, IN MY OPINION, COMMUNITY.
SO COTTONWOOD YOU WOULD CONSIDER A COMMUNITY PARK BECAUSE IT HAS RESTROOMS? YEAH, I MEAN THE, THE THE DOES THOSE, DOES THOSE RESTROOMS WORK NOW? OH, GUESS SO.
I SAY THAT MORE OF A COMMUNITY.
NOW WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING FOR DIAL PARK? SO DIAL PARK RIGHT NOW IS A FIELD, RIGHT? UM, RIGHT NOW WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO A GAZEBO TO PUT UP THERE AND SOME NICE NATIVE PLANTINGS, UM, SO THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO KIND OF GO OUT AND ENJOY THE SPACE.
UM, AS FAR AS LONG TERM SCOPE FOR IOWA PARK, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT UM, ANY PART OF ANY DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW.
MAYBE SOON, BUT I THINK IT'LL BE REALLY NICE TO SUMMER, UM, ZEBO AND SOME, SOME GRASSES.
I KNOW YOU KNEW TO THE AREA, BUT THE CARRIAGE TRAIL SITUATION, ARE YOU AWARE OF CARRIAGE TRAILS AND ALL THE, LIKE THEY PAY CITY INCOME TAX HUB HEIGHTS, CITY INCOMES UP THERE, RIGHT.
ARE WE EVER GONNA PUT ANY MARKS RECREATION UP THERE? SO YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO, THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO MORE AND MORE LAND THAT'S GOING TO GO OUT TOWARDS, TOWARDS 40 AND NOW THEY'RE DISCUSSING WHETHER THEY'RE GOING HAVE HUBBERT HEIGHT SCHOOL, TAKE THOSE PEOPLE AND IT'S ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS WE'RE HAVING.
UM, SO I'M AWARE OF THOSE ONGOING CONVERSATIONS.
UM, TERRA TRAILS, FORTUNATELY THERE ARE THREE UM, PARTS UP THERE THAT ARE MANAGED BY THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS, UM, OF VARIOUS BUILDS UP THERE.
SO, UM, THOSE CHILDREN, WHAT GRADE ARE THEY? UH, WELL I'LL GET YOU, I'LL GET 'EM TO YOU, BUT I CAN'T NAME 'EM OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
[00:40:01]
THERE ARE TWO SMALL PLAY LOTS AND THEN THERE'S ONE THAT IS LARGER WITH THE PLACEBO AND BASKETBALL COURTS AND, AND THEY'RE UP THERE.UM, SO I THINK THOSE PEOPLE ARE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT A WALKING RADIUS, THEY'RE FAIRLY WELL SERVED BY JUST THAT NEIGHBORHOOD TYPES OF NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
UM, I WILL LOVE TO INVESTIGATE PUTTING IN A PARK ANYWHERE
BUT, UM, RIGHT NOW THEY DO HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS UP THERE AND THERE'S NOT AN IDENTIFIED SPACE THAT I'M AWARE OF, UH, WHERE ANYBODY WANTS TO PARK, BUT I'M OPEN TO THAT.
WHERE, WHERE'S THE, WE GOT BASKETBALL COURTS, THERE'S BASKETBALL COURT.
I THINK THAT'S, ISN'T THAT ACTUALLY IN PARK TOWN? NOT, NOT TRAILS.
I THINK THAT'S, THAT THERE IS A LITTLE PARK, RIGHT? IT'S NOT
YEAH, I THINK IT IN, I THINK IT IS IN MIAMI COUNTY THOUGH.
WE WE DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE ANY PARKS IN MIAMI COUNTY.
YEAH, THEY GOT, IT'S MIAMI COUNTY CARRIES TRAIL, IT'S BETHEL SCHOOLS, IT'S TIP CITY POST POSTAL ADDRESS AND IT'S HUBER HEIGHTS CITY INCOME BACK.
GOING BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION
LIKE I THINK THEY COULD BE CATEGORIZED AS EITHER AND I SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH THE, ARE THEY OR AREN'T THEY? AND SO I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S A TOUGH ONE TO REALLY ANSWER, UM, BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE AMENITIES THAN THE OTHER THREE THAT YOU MENTIONED.
BUT, BUT YEAH, I COULD SEE WHERE THEY COULD GO IN EITHER CATEGORY.
UM, IT'D BE NICE IF THERE WAS ONE IN BETWEEN
UM, THE OTHER THING GOING TO THE UM, DIAL PARK, ARE THERE, IS THERE GONNA BE INCREASED UH, PARKING THERE FOR THIS? UM, NO.
SO IT IS, IT IS DEFINITELY JUST GOING TO BE FOR PASSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD USE.
UH, WE, WE WOULD PROBABLY CONSIDER IT A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK NOW ONCE WE PUT SOMETHING IN THERE.
UM, BUT THERE WON'T BE ANY PARKING THERE.
BECAUSE I KNOW AT ONE POINT WHEN WE WERE HAVING THE DISCUSSIONS BACK ON, I WAS ON COUNCIL AND THAT WAS WITH THE, THE BIKE PARK AND ALL THAT STUFF.
UM, SCOTT WHO WAS THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER AT THE TIME, TALKED ABOUT HER CUT OPTIONS FOR PARKING JUST LIKE TWO OR THREE SPOTS.
SO, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S AN OPTION THAT THAT COUNCIL WOULD BE CONSIDERING LOOKING AT, CONSIDERING THAT THEY, I KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOME CHANGES IN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO GO INTO THERE VERSUS THE GAZEBO, BUT JUST SOMETHING THAT, YEAH, I THINK THAT THE, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING FROM SOME COMMUNITY SURVEYS I'VE READ THROUGH MM-HMM
UM, SO BY BRINGING IN PARKING THAT MAY JUST ENCOURAGE THAT.
SO I DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS FOR THAT INFRASTRUCTURE AT THIS TIME.
UM, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY WITH THE NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS COMING IN ON CHAMBERSBURG WEST.
SO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF FOREST YEAH.
UM, THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITY THERE TO DEVELOP SOME PLAY LOTS AND STUFF TO SERVE THOSE FAMILIES AND UM, SO I THINK THAT THAT KIND OF HITS IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD, THE SAME BALLPARK, UM, AND MIGHT SATISFY THAT URGE IN THAT COMMUNITY.
HOPEFULLY, UH, THAT VALVE THAT THAT CHAMBERSBURG, YOU KNOW, AREA WAS GONNA PUT HOMES AT.
I KNOW THERE'S A WETLAND AREA AND THAT KIND OF MATCHES UP WITH, I THINK IT KIND OF MATCHES UP TO BEHIND, YOU KNOW, DO PARK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FOREST.
AND THAT'S ONE OF, ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS, YOU KNOW, ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT WAS WHEN WE FIRST GOT THAT ACQUIRED THAT I WAS THINKING LIKE A WALKING PATH, YOU KNOW, A WALKING TRAIL LIKE UH, CHARLESTON FALLS TYPE OF A THING, YOU KNOW, NOTHING.
BUT IF THEY HAD THAT THERE'S A WETLAND AREA, I COULD, I COULD SEE WHERE THE WALKING PATH REACHES ALL THE WAY BACK, YOU KNOW, IN THAT NEW NEIGHBORHOOD AREA.
SO IT COULD BE A WALKING PATH TO A PLATE, LIKE HOW IF THERE'S A PLAYGROUND DOWN OR PARKED DOWN THERE, YOU KNOW, JUST AN EXTENSION.
AND SINCE JAMESBURG ROAD IS GONNA BE HAVING A BIKE PATH GO DOWN IT, IT COULD ACTUALLY PROBABLY MAKE IT ALL DOWN TO THAT BIKE PATH THAT WAY TOO.
SO THANK YOU FOR THE, FOR THE IDEAS.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OF COURSE THERE WAS THERE ON UH, THE PLANS FOR
[00:45:01]
HAVE HOMEWORK YEAH.YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE TO TAKE HOME.
UM, IF YOU DIDN'T GET TO DROP THOSE DOWN AGAIN THEY ARE BELLE PLAINE, MIAMI VILLA AND TWIN CREEKS.
AND THEN IF THERE'S ANY THAT YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IN THE SYSTEM, EVEN WHAT I HAVEN'T HIT ON, YOU CAN NOW PROBABLY CONSIDER DIAL PARK IN THERE.
UM, LET ME KNOW AND, AND THE MAIN REASON THAT THIS IS GONNA HELP ME PLAN IS WHAT IT TELLS US SHOULD WE BE PROGRAMMING THAT PARK AND HOW OFTEN, UM, THE TYPES OF AMENITIES THAT WE SHOULD BE PUTTING IN.
SO THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE THAT WE CAN BE EXPECTING TO USE THEM, UM, WHEN WE START TO THINK ABOUT REALLY HEIGHTENING OUR PARK STANDARDS, UM, IT WOULD BRAND, UH, AND, AND PLACE MAKING.
IT COULD FEEL NICE WHEN YOU HAVE MATCHING TRASH CANS AND PARK BENCHES.
UM, SO THAT HELPS US PLAN FOR EACH LEVEL OF PARK TYPE.
DO YOU WANT THIS FILLED OUT FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE PARKS? NO, JUST IN GENERAL, WHAT IS, WHAT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK IN HUBER HEIGHTS? WHO, WHO ARE USING THEM, UM, HOW FREQUENTLY ARE PEOPLE USING THEM? THOSE TWO JUST IN GENERAL.
AND THEN, UM, I'M GONNA COLLECT YOUR MISSION VISION VALUES WORKSHEET IF YOU HAVE IT.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WORRIES, YOU CAN ALWAYS UM, SEND IT TO ME IN EITHER AN EMAIL OR YOU CAN JUST SNAP A PICTURE IF YOU HAND WROTE IT WITH YOUR PHONE.
UM, AND THEN I WILL, I WILL COLLECT ALL THIS DATA THAT YOU GIVE ME IN THIS BRAINSTORM FORM AND PRESENTED THAT THE NEXT MEETING SO THAT YOU ALL KNOW WHAT EVERYBODY SAID.
EVERYBODY CLEAR ON THAT THIS LAST MONTH YOU RECALL? OKAY.
UH, YOU DONE WITH NUMBER TWO? YES, SARAH? YES SIR.
UH, BEFORE WE GO THROUGH THE ADDITIONAL BID ANNOUNCEMENTS, UM, UH, THIS IS MORE FOR SARAH I GUESS AND ANYONE ELSE, UM,
UM, NO I DO NOT HAVE AN EXACT TIME.
I KNEW THAT IT WAS PLANNED FOR LIKE WHEN THE WEATHER LETS UP.
SO TENTATIVELY END OF MARCH, EARLY APRIL SORT OF A DEAL.
UM, BUT YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S, IT'S KIND OF WEIRD TO THINK THAT IT'S FEBRUARY 15TH WHEN I'LL BE WALKING DOWN WITHOUT A COAT ON FOR TWO WEEKS.
UM, SO I, I DO KNOW THAT IT WILL BE SPRING AND WE WILL BE PABLE IN MAY.
WELL I'D LIKE THE TIMELINE END OF THE APPROXIMATE DATE.
THE REASON I WAS GOING TO BRING THAT UP AGAIN IS I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST THAT WE DO TWO PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENTS YES.
AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE FIRST ONE BE EITHER NO LATER THAN THE SECOND WEEK OF JUNE AND NOT MEMORIAL WEEKEND AND I WAS GONNA PROPOSE OR SUGGEST THAT THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE SOMETHING CALLED A ROUND ROBIN FORMAT.
THAT WAY IF THEN DOESN'T HAVE A PARTY, HE CAN STILL COME IN PLAY.
IN OTHER WORDS, MEN AGAINST WOMEN, GENERAL NEUTRAL, ALL LEVELS OF PLAY DON'T NEED A PART IN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PARTNER.
IT IS A FORMAT THAT WILL ALLOW NOT JUST YOU BUT VICE PRESIDENT TO GET USED TO THE POWER BUT OTHER PEOPLE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE POWER APPEALS.
HAVE A FUN DAY I GUESS YOU MIGHT SAY.
UM, AND I GONNA SUGGEST THAT WE NAIL DOWN OUR DATE SOMETIME BETWEEN NOW AND THE MARCH MEETING SO WE CAN START GETTING THE FLYER AND THINGS READY FOR THAT ONE.
SO YOU WANT TO GO WITH JUNE 8TH? THAT'S THE SECOND SATURDAY IN JUNE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ANOTHER ONE MAYBE IN THE FALL? GOOD POINT.
I WOULD SUGGEST THE NEXT ONE BE EITHER A WEEK BEFORE LABOR DAY OR THE WEEKEND AFTER LABOR DAY.
NOT THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND, BUT EITHER THE WEEKEND BEFORE OR THE WEEKEND AFTER.
BECAUSE WE STARTED DOING THE SHOWCASE I THINK IN THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER, RIGHT THEN? YEAH, IT'S IN SEPTEMBER.
SO, SO IT HAD TO BE EITHER THE FIRST OR SECOND MEAN THE LAST WEEK OF AUGUST OR THE SECOND WEEK OF SEPTEMBER.
SO IT DOESN'T FALL ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND IN, UM, THE SECOND WEEK OF SEPTEMBER IS
WHAT HAPPENED THEN? THAT'S LOVELY.
THIRD WEEK OR WELL THAT BE HAPPY TO SHOWCASE THAT BE OKAY.
THIRD WEEK OR EPTEMBER, THEN 12TH.
WHAT ABOUT OCTOBER? AND DO LIKE A SPOOKY TOURNAMENT? WELL YOU WANT TO BE NICE AND WARM IN THE MORNING AT EIGHT O'CLOCK.
[00:50:01]
AT NOON? YEAH.HEY, I'M OKAY WITH THAT BECAUSE LONG DAYS THEN WE CAN PLAY WITH NOON TO WHAT? FOUR, FIVE? ME? MAYBE IT WOULD BE FUN TO THEME ONE LIKE A COCOA CHAMPIONSHIP.
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THEN WHY DON'T WE DO THAT THEN WHY DON'T WE START 'EM BOTH AROUND NOON THEN? WELL THAT'S RIGHT LEE.
AND WE COULD START THEM BOTH IN MIDDAY AND THEN IF WE GET MORE PEOPLE THEN WE GO, YOU KNOW, KNOW YOU WANNA START THE ONE IN JUNE.
DO HEY MIGHT BE HOT, GONNA BE HOT IN MIDDLE OF THE DAY.
THEY'LL BOTH, THEY'RE BOTH JUST FOR FUN, RIGHT? THEY'RE NOT GETTING ANYBODY AT ANY POINTS AT ANY WELL BE AWARD COULD STADIUM
BUT UH, I'M OKAY WITH NO, BUT I THOUGHT I START AT EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, PROBABLY DONE AROUND 12 OR ONE O'CLOCK.
SO PEOPLE STILL HAVE SOME OF THE DATES TO PLAY AFTERWARD.
CUTTING THE GRASS OR DOING WHATEVER THEY DO.
WELL WE'LL NAIL DOWN THE, THE SPECIFIC TIME AND DETAILS AT THE NEXT MEETING THEN.
AND I WAS SEND THAT TO YOU, BUT LET JUST SET THE DATES DOWN.
WE GOT ALL JUNE 8TH, THE FIRST ONE AND WE NEED TO NAIL DOWN A DATE IN, UH, SEPTEMBER.
BRIAN, WHAT'S YOUR SOCCER TOURNAMENT OF OCTOBER 3RD WEEKEND? UH, THE WARRIOR SOCCER TOURNAMENT IS THE SECOND WEEKEND OF OCTOBER, THE SECOND WEEKEND WEEKEND.
THE HE WRITE SOCCER IS HOSTING OUR REC TOURNAMENT THE THIRD WEEKEND OF OCTOBER.
SO I'M, I'M I'M OUT ON OCTOBER MYSELF, BUT THE JUNE 8TH ONE IS SOMETHING I CAN, YOU KNOW, GO TO WITH MY KIDS AND STUFF.
OKAY, ALRIGHT, WELL WE COULD DO THAT OCTOBER 4TH OR I'M SORRY, THANK YOU.
OCTOBER 5TH OR SEPTEMBER 28TH.
AND I WILL SEND YOU INFORMATION ON EACH ONE OF THOSE AND EVERYTHING AND WE'RE, YOU'LL GET NO DATES AND EVERYTHING SET UP.
ALEX, FROM, FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON A TOURNAMENT LIKE THAT, IS THERE GONNA BE A BRACKET THAT, I MEAN IT'S AN OPEN PLATE.
I MEAN, IS THERE A LIMIT THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE AND WILL BE, WILL THERE BE A, AN IGNITION OR A A REGISTRATION FEE? I MEAN, IF I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING, I KNOW I'M GONNA SHOW UP.
SO I, I MEAN I WAS GOING, I I HAD A FORMAT LATER I WILL MAIL, EMAIL IT TO YOU, BUT I'LL GO TO GET ALL THE DETAILS FOR THE EVENT, BUT ANSWER THAT FIRST QUESTION, I WOULD SUGGEST $5 PER PERSON.
JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP.
IF THEY PAID THE $5, THEY WILL BE LIMITED TO 24 PLAYERS WITH TWO IN RESERVE.
THE REASON BEING THAT 24, THAT PLAY WILL BE PLAYING EVERY GAME, PLAY 12 MINUTES WITH A THREE MINUTE BREAK, THEN YOU MOVE UP OR DOWN A COURT AND YOU PLAY ANOTHER 12 MINUTES EACH TIME YOU ARE CHANGING PARTNER AND OPPONENT, THIS CONSTANT ROTATION.
YOU, AFTER THE FIRST ROUND, YOU GET A 10 MINUTE BREAK, YOU GOT
SO THERE ONE, WHETHER IT BEGINNER OR LIKE DENNIS, YOU KNOW, GOING TO PRO, CAN YOU COME AND PLAY? YEAH, I I I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE THE NUMBER BECAUSE NOW IT'S A SPECIAL EVENT AND I'M STARTING YOU THE 27TH PERSON REGISTERED SIGN UP SOONER NEXT TIME.
WELL, AND THE REASON WE HAVE 26, 24 HAVE TO PAY, RIGHT.
THE 25 AND 2020 FIFTH, THOSE TWO, THEY ARE ON RESERVE.
IF SOMEBODY, IF THEN GETS HURT, THEN YOU COME IN, YOU NUMBER 25 OR THEN SHOW UP OR WHATEVER.
YOU STEP IN THAT 24 TO PLAY AND TWO IN THE RESERVE.
JUST SEND ME EVERYTHING YOU HAVE.
AND WE'LL MAKE SURE IT GETS INTO THE NEXT PACKET EXCEPT CHRIS AND I AND THEN, UM, AND UH, I'LL WORK WITH YOU NOW WE HAVE THOSE DATES.
NOW THE NEXT ITEM IS ONE SARAH THAT, UH, CAME UP WHEN WE UH, BREACHED THE CITY COUNCIL THERE ON THE, UH, PARK AND RED BOARD ACTIVITIES, BOTH PRIOR ACTIVITIES AND NOWHERE PROPOSED.
WE HAD IN THERE AND STARTED BENCHES AND TABLES AT THAT PARK BECAUSE WE GOT 28 PEOPLE THERE.
[00:55:01]
BENCHES AND PARTS.THAT'S WHY THOSE ITEMS THAT SHOULDN'T BE THAT EXPENSIVE, YOU KNOW, THAT COULD HAVE A LARGE BENEFIT RIGHT AWAY AND CAN BENEFIT RIGHT AWAY.
ANYWAY, WE CAN SOMEHOW GET STARTED ON THAT.
YES, I UM, SO THERE'S LIKE THAT CONCRETE PAD, RIGHT? IT'S LIKE 25 DEEP, LONG, WIDE, RIGHT.
SO I AM PLANNING TO JUST MOVE A FEW OF OUR EXISTING PICNIC TABLES THERE.
AND THEN AGAIN, WHEN IT COMES TO LONG TERM PLANNING THAT PARK, UM, I THINK WE CAN MAKE SOME SIGNIFICANT HEADWAY ON THAT PARK NEXT YEAR.
UM, SOME GID LIKES OF MORE PURPOSEFUL, UH, DIFFERENT I DO PLAN TO BUY ONE NEW, ONE NEW PICNIC TABLE.
I PROBABLY WOULD BUY MORE THAN ONE, BUT AT LEAST ONE THAT I'M GONNA TRY OUT AT UM, THE TINY LITTLE SHELTER OUT AT TWIN CREEKS, UH, TO SEE IF IT'S A STYLE THAT WE LIKE.
AND, AND THEN, AND EVERYBODY CAN VISIT IT IF YOU WANT AND SIT ON IT AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK AND THEN IF WE LIKE IT, WE CAN PUT IT IN LONG TERM PLANS TO SLOWLY TURN OVER THE WHOLE, THE WHOLE SYSTEM SO THAT IT KIND OF MATCHES.
UH, I'M LOOKING AT THAT, THAT RECYCLED FABRICATED WOOD SIMILAR TO THE, TO THE BENCH DONATION, UM, PROGRAM IF WE HAVE.
SO IF WE LIKE IT THEN WE'LL MAKE PLANS TO TRY AND UH, REPLACE THEM THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.
PROBABLY TAKING A COUPLE YEARS NEWTON PARKWAY PARK.
YEAH, BECAUSE ONE THING MOST OF YOU PICKLEBALL PLAYERS ARE DENNIS AND ALEX AGE AND MOST OF 'EM DON'T WANT TO BE STANDING.
THEY WON PLAY TO SIT, SO, SO THAT COULD BE A REAL PLUS OUT THERE.
ALRIGHT, I THINK SIR, ANY COMMENTS FROM ANYONE ELSE? NOT JUST ABOUT PICKLEBALL COURTS, BUT ANYTHING, NO OTHER COMMENTS? ALRIGHT, THEN WE'LL GO TO NUMBER SEVEN THEN.
ADDITIONAL BENEFIT ANNOUNCEMENT.
DO WE HAVE ANY THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS.
ANYBODY ELSE? NO OTHER COMMENTS.
ALRIGHT, THEN WE'LL GO TO ITEM EIGHT THEN APPROVE OUR MINUTES.
AND EVERYONE HAD A CHANCE TO READ THE UH, JANUARY MINUTES.
ARE THERE ANY CORRECTION OR OBJECTION? THERE HAS NO CORRECTION.
THEN DO I HAVE A SUGGESTION THAT WE HAVE ACCEPT MINUTES AS APPROVED? I HAVE NO SUGGESTION.
DO YOU HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE MINUTES? I, YEAH.
THE MINUTES FOR JANUARY HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED AND APPROVED AND OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE MARCH 21ST AT SIX 30.
THAT'LL BE THE FIRST WEEK OF MARCH MATTERS OR THE SECOND WEEK THEN ON MARCH.
I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST FOUR, ISN'T IT? YEAH, THAT'S, IT'S OPEN WEEKEND.
SO WE'LL SEE YOU THEN AND THAT'LL BE A SHORT MEETING.
WE GOT ALL THINGS DONE THIS WEEK, THIS MONTH.
ALRIGHT, I HAVE NO OTHER COMMENTS.
