UH, SOMEBODY JUST HAS TO MAKE A MOTION.
DO YOU SAY ALL IN FAVOR? DO I SAY ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
UM, AND LAST WEEK WE ALSO HAD TWO OUT THAT WE DID NOT.
UM, COULD SOMEONE MAKE A MOTION FOR ASHLEY? SHE SENT A MESSAGE SAYING SHE WOULD NOT BE HERE.
AND AMANDA, DID YOU SEND A MESSAGE? YES.
UM, AND AMANDA, COULD SOMEONE MAKE A MOTION FOR THAT PLEASE? MY MOTION TO EXCUSE ASHLEY BERG AND AMANDA HENRY FROM LAST MONTH'S MEETING.
ANYONE OPPOSED? WHO SECONDED? SORRY, I HAD MY HEAD DOWN.
AND IF THERE'S NO ONE OPPOSING PASS IT.
ALRIGHT, WELL WELCOME EVERYONE.
AND WE ALSO HAVE A CITIZEN IN THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.
WE'D LIKE TO WELCOME YOU UP, SIR.
CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME? UH, MY NAME'S STEVE ZBINDEN.
I'VE BEEN A MEMBER, A MEMBER
I'VE BEEN A CITIZEN OF YOUR RIDES FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS NOW.
UM, LAST MEETING YOU GUYS, UH, HAD, UH, QUITE A DISCUSSION ABOUT POTENTIALLY MOVING THE LOCATION AND THE TIME OF THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL, AND I JUST WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU MY THOUGHTS AND MY OPINION.
UM, I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE HALFTIME USA, UH, LAST COUPLE YEARS WAS MY KIDS WERE, ARE IN THE BAND AT THE, AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LAST YEAR.
UH, WE DECIDED TO CHANGE SOME THINGS WITH HALFTIME USA TO ALLOW FOR PARKING, UH, BUSES AND CARS WERE KIND OF GETTING INTERMINGLED AND IT WASN'T ALLOWING, UH, FOR THE FANS, THE, THE FAMILIES TO COME PARK IN A REASONABLE LOCATION.
SO WHAT WE DID IS WE CLOSED OFF THE FRONT OF THE SCHOOL.
WE PARKED ALL THE, THE TRUCKS, TRUCKS WITH TRAILERS, ALL THE SCHOOL BUSES THERE.
UM, IT WAS ABOUT 50 VEHICLES WE PARKED THERE, WHICH ALLOWED THE, UH, THE FAMILIES, THE FANS, THE THE VISITORS TO PARK IN THE BACK OF THE SCHOOL.
UM, WHEN I HEARD THAT, UH, YOU GUYS POTENTIALLY WANTED TO PUT THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL AT COMMUNITY PARK AND, AND SHARE THE HIGH SCHOOL PARKING, UM, I KNOW THERE'S A TIME CHANGE THERE, BUT WE START GETTING BUSES AND TRUCKS AND PEOPLE IN AT ABOUT THREE O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON.
AND IT, DEPENDING ON HOW THEY COME, BECAUSE THEY COME FROM CINCINNATI PLAIN CITY, UM, VALLEY VIEW, THEY COME FROM THE WEST.
SOMETIMES WE GET 10 BUSES AND THEN ALL THE PEOPLE THAT FOLLOW THE BUSES TRYING TO PARK TOO.
AND I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT, UH, IF WE TRY TO DO ALL THAT AT ONCE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TWO SETS OF CUSTOMERS UPSET AND FRUSTRATED THAT COULD EVENTUALLY AFFECT, UM, SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE GONNA REMEMBER, UM, THEY'RE GONNA REMEMBER THEIR EXPERIENCE AND UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE A BAD HABIT OF REMEMBERING THE BAD, NOT THE GOOD.
SO I JUST WANTED, UH, I I I HEARD THAT IT MAY NOT CHANGE THIS YEAR, I DON'T KNOW, BUT, UM, COMING FROM A PERSON WHO HAS TO DEAL WITH THE PARKING AND GRUMPY PEOPLE TRYING TO PARK WHERE THE BUSES ARE HALF TO PARK AND, AND ALL THE, THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW THE BUSES, EACH ONE OF THESE BANDS COME, YOU KNOW, YOU FIGURE THERE'S 50 KIDS ON A BUS.
THERE'S PROBABLY AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE THAT COME, UH, WITH THE BAND MINIMUM.
SO JUST SOMETHING I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU PEOPLE WERE AWARE OF.
SO IN THE FUTURE PLANNING THAT, UM, WE CONSIDER SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO THAT'S ALL I REALLY WANTED TO ADD.
[00:05:01]
A LOT.DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UM, FOR, OKAY, SO I GET THE IDEA THAT YOU WOULD PREFER THAT WE DIDN'T TRY TO COMBINE THE TWO EVENTS.
THAT'S, UH, I I DEFINITELY THINK IF THEY'RE GONNA COMBINE THE TWO EVENTS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A SERIOUS, SERIOUS DISCUSSION ABOUT POTENTIAL SHUTTLE BUSES OR, OR WHATNOT BECAUSE, UM, MY CONCERN FROM SOMEBODY WHO HAS TO FIND PARKING FOR 50 LARGE VEHICLES IS, I, I CAN'T HAVE THAT FRONT LOT OPEN.
AND THEN AT 2 30, 2 O'CLOCK WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO GET BUSES IN, START GETTING BUSES IN HAVING TO FIND ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT OWN ALL THOSE CARS AND GET THOSE CARS OUT OF THERE.
AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE, IT'S GONNA BE PARKING AREA THERE ALONG THAT LITTLE TINY AREA OF ALONG CHAMBERSBURG RIGHT.
IMMEDIATELY, I GUESS THAT'S STILL THE FRONT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL THERE.
ISN'T THAT, ISN'T THERE A WAY TO GATE THAT OFF? WELL, THERE, THERE WOULD BE, BUT IF YOU ARE HAVING AN EVENT, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA WANT THAT FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T GOOD AT WALKING AND PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE HANDICAPPED AND MIGHT NOT WANNA WALK A HOLE, YOU KNOW, FROM THE BACK OF THE SCHOOL, WHICH, YOU KNOW, THE BACK OF THE SCHOOL'S A COUPLE HUNDRED FEET OR THE MAIN PARKING IN THE BACK OF THE SCHOOL IS, I MEAN, I WOULD THINK YOU'D WANNA HAVE THAT FRONT OF THE SCHOOL PARKING FOR PEOPLE THAT YOU DON'T WANT WALKING AS FAR.
DO YOU KNOW IF LIKE THE DATE WE HAD OUR SCHEDULE FOR, WERE THOSE DATES COINCIDED WITH THE HALFTIME USA SHOW THIS YEAR? UM, I, THEY TOLD ME ACTUALLY HALFTIME USA GOT SHIFTED BECAUSE OF SOMETHING AT THE STADIUM.
I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM SHOWERS.
THEY MOVED IT BACK FOR HER, MOVED IT BACK.
SO IT'S THE SEVENTH, RIGHT? THAT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? PROBABLY IT, IT'S BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DATE.
YEAH, BECAUSE I KNOW THIS YEAR IT'S ON A DIFFERENT WEEKEND BECAUSE SOMETHING IS GOING ON AT THE STADIUM ON THE ORIGINAL WEEK.
SO I MEAN, THAT WOULD MIGHT NOT BE AN ISSUE, BUT, UM, YEAH, I JUST, PARKING WOULD DEFINITELY BE AN ISSUE.
UH, AT LEAST ACCESSIBLE PARKING FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANNA WALK OR CAN'T WALK, UH, LONG DISTANCES.
SO, UM, THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.
SO YOU SAY YOU HAVE, YOU EXPECT LIKE 50 BUSES? WE PARKED BETWEEN BUSES, UM, TRUCKS THAT HAVE THE, LIKE BOX TRUCKS AND PICKUP TRUCKS WITH TRAILERS THAT CARRY THE EQUIPMENT THAT THE KIDS USE.
WE HAD 50 VEHICLES, 50 LARGE VEHICLES, AND THEN YOU HAVE CARS THAT FOLLOW 'CAUSE IT'S PARENTS.
AND THEN WE, WE HAVE BANNERS SO THAT THEY PARK BACK BEHIND THE SCHOOL.
WE WANT THEM TO ENTER BY THE SOFTBALL FIELD WHEN THEY COME FROM THE EAST.
UM, AND WE STILL HAVE ISSUES WITH PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY CAN PARK WITH THE BUSES AND WE JUST, WE, WE CANNOT, WE CANNOT MANEUVER LARGE VEHICLES AND HAVE CARS IN THAT AREA AROUND THERE.
SO WE, IT WAS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE TRIED IT, IT, IT SEEMED TO WORK OUT PRETTY WELL.
AND WE WE'RE GONNA TWEAK IT A LITTLE BIT, BUT MY CONCERN IS IF THE PEOPLE FROM THE FESTIVAL ARE LEAVING AND WE'RE HAVING PEOPLE COME IN, UM, IT'S GONNA BE THERE, THERE'S GONNA HAVE TO BE SOME LOGISTICS RATHER THAN JUST SELF MOVEMENT OF TRAFFIC.
SO LIKE 50 LARGE VEHICLES IN THE FRONT AND THEN PROBABLY ABOUT 50 SMALLER VEHICLES THAT ARE COMING AROUND THE BACK PER BUS.
SO I'M, I'M GONNA TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, BETWEEN VOLUNTEERS, FANS AND, AND SPECTATORS, WE FILL THE BACK.
SO YEAH, IT'S, YOU'D BE, I WAS SURPRISED THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW THE BANDS WHEN THEY GO PERFORM AT THESE SHOWS.
AND, UH, BECAUSE WE, AND I KNOW WAYNE'S BAND, THEY USUALLY DO FOUR OR FIVE OF 'EM.
KENTON RIDGE IS A BIG ONE OVER AT, IT'S ACTUALLY AT WITTENBERG.
UM, AND IT'S, IT'S JUST AMAZING TO ME, YOU LIKE A PLAYOFF GAME FOR A FOOTBALL GAME, THEY'LL FILL THE STADIUM.
SO JUST SOMETHING I WANTED TO CONVEY.
I I DON'T KNOW IF YOU UNDERSTOOD THE, THE FOLLOWING OF HALFTIME USA, BUT MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BAND.
I, I I'VE ATTENDED HALFTIME, USA.
WE WERE, I MEAN, THERE WAS DISCUSSIONS ABOUT, UM, WORKING WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS DOWN THE STREET, LIKE FAITH PRESCHOOL, UM, PLUS PARKING THINGS, SHUTTLING PEOPLE.
I MEAN, THERE WAS LOTS OF TALKS.
UM, WE THOUGHT ABOUT THE PARKING AND I EVEN TALKED TO MS. SHOWERS ABOUT IT.
WE'VE BEEN EMAILING BACK AND FORTH.
AND SO, BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE, I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU START PARKING BUSES AT THREE.
UM, WE WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE TO THINK ABOUT TIMES AND ENDING IT
[00:10:01]
EARLY OR WHATEVER SO WE COULD WORK TOGETHER.UM, THE MAIN GOAL WAS TO, UM, BRING THE, THE BAND AND THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION TOGETHER AND TRY TO PARTNER TOGETHER.
AND, UM, DEFINITELY THINKING ABOUT THE PARKING AND HOW THAT WOULD WORK OUT.
OH, IT'S A, I I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA, BUT YEAH, BY THE TIME THE BUSES COME IN, THEY GET UNLOADED, THEY GET THEIR GEAR OUT, THEY WARM UP.
THEY'RE THERE FOR, IT IS ALMOST AN ALL DAY EVENT, SO, YEAH.
WELL I VERY APPRECIATE YOU, UH, LETTING ME TAKE TIME TO COME TO YOUR MEETING AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING.
OKAY, SO WE HAVE A STAFF UPDATE.
SO I JUST PLAN TO PUT THIS STAFF UPDATE KIND OF ON THE AGENDA EVERY TIME WE MEET, IF THAT'S OKAY.
AND I'LL KIND OF JUST GIVE A RUNDOWN OF THINGS THAT I KNOW ARE ONGOING THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT AND THAT MIGHT ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS OR FUEL SOME DISCUSSION TOO IN THE, UM, OLDER, NEW BUSINESS, IF THAT'S OKAY.
UM, SO FOR ME, I HAVE A COUPLE OF UPDATES.
ONE, THE FIRST IS THE UPDATE ON THE ART AND THE PARK SERIES.
I HAVE MOVED, UM, FORWARD WITH THAT AND I'M WORKING WITH THE YMCA AND A LOCAL ORGANIZATION CALLED SHAKESPEARE IN THE HEIGHTS AND TO PUT ON SHAKESPEAREAN SHOWS IN JUNE.
UM, THE PLAN IS STILL TO OFFER AN EXPERIENCE ONCE A MONTH MAY THROUGH SEPTEMBER.
UM, SO I WOULD ENJOY ANY AND ALL FEEDBACK, UM, FROM THIS BOARD.
AND IF ANYBODY WANTS TO CHAMPION A CERTAIN TYPE OF ART IN A CERTAIN DAY, UM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
UM, SOME IDEAS THAT I HAVE JUST FLOATING AROUND OUR, YOU KNOW, DANCE, DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSIC, MAYBE MORE OF A CLASSICAL MUSIC THAT, THAT WE DON'T HAVE REPLICATED AT OUR CONCERT SERIES.
UM, ANY, YOU KNOW, POETRY, ANYTHING ELSE, UM, THAT WE MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN.
SO PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND IN YOUR DISCUSSIONS.
UM, MY OTHER UPDATE IS OF THE STAR SPANGLED HEIGHTS.
STAR SPANGLED HEIGHTS, UM, VENDORS, UH, I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE 15 REGISTERED FOR THE PARADE RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE 24 GENERAL SALES VENDORS MERCHANDISE, AND THEN 20 FOOD TRUCKS REGISTERED.
SO, UM, WE ARE CERTAINLY GETTING A LOT OF INTEREST COMING IN, WHICH I THINK IS WONDERFUL.
UM, I CAN ALSO TELL YOU THAT FOR OUR SPANGLED HEIGHTS WE HAVE MOVE FORWARD AND CONFIRMED THE OLD TIMEY BASEBALL WILL BE BACK.
WE DID RECEIVE TWO SPONSORSHIPS FOR THAT.
I CAN ALSO TELL YOU ON THE MOVIE SERIES THAT WE ARE CONFIRMED WITH OUR WHIP DEMONSTRATOR FOR THE INDIANA JONES IN JUNE.
UM, WE ARE ALSO ON THE MOVIE SERIES STILL HOLDING FOR A BITES DATE.
I WILL PRESSURE MIMI IMMEDIATELY THIS WEEK
BUT I KNOW THAT THEY ARE STILL FINISHING OUT THEIR CONCERT SERIES DATES.
I'M SEEING NEW NEW BANDS DROP EVERY DAY.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE WATCHING THE ROWS UP THERE, BUT IT'S VERY EXCITING.
UH, OLD BUSINESS, UH, WE DID THE THANK YOU CARDS FOR, UM, THE ART EXHIBIT FOR ALL THE ARTISTS IS FINISHED.
UM, I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE.
UH, SO I WOULD NEED, UM, THOSE SO I CAN GET THOSE SENT OUT.
UM, FOR STAR SPAN IN THE HEIGHTS, UM, THE GIRL SCOUTS CONFIRM THEY WILL DO A COOKIE DECORATING CONTEST FOR US.
UM, BOY SCOUTS, UM, I'M JUST WAITING FOR ONE MORE APPROVAL, BUT THEY WOULD LOVE TO DO THE FLAG RAISING.
I'M JUST, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT TROOP IS GONNA DO IT, SO I'M JUST WAITING TO HEAR FEEDBACK FROM THAT.
AND UM, THERE MAY BE SOMEONE INTERESTED IN THE CORN HOLE CHALLENGE, SO I'M STILL WORKING ON THAT.
AND IF THERE'S ANY OTHER IDEAS THAT ANYBODY HAS BY CORNHOLE CHALLENGE, DO YOU MEAN LIKE WE WOULD, THEY WOULD RUN LIKE A LITTLE TOURNAMENT.
UM, I HAD A QUESTION ON, ON, UM, STAR SPANGLED IF THAT'S OKAY.
UM, SARAH WILLIAMS LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WAS PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ABOUT PUTTING THE GRAND MARSHAL UP FOR AN APPLICATION TYPE PROCESS.
UM, SO IF THAT IS SOMETHING YOU GUYS WISH TO CONTINUE OR NOT CONTINUE, I THINK IT WOULD BE NEW.
UM, BUT WISH TO DO, UM, I CAN GET THAT LAUNCHED ON THE WEBSITE THIS WEEK AND WE CAN PROMOTE IT ON THE SOCIAL MEDIAS.
AND UM, I WAS THINKING OF ASKING VARIOUS QUESTIONS OF LIKE WHAT, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY SERVICE THE PERSON HAS DONE, WHETHER THEY'RE A PART OF ORGANIZATIONS AND THE YEARS COMMITTED AND, AND THAT SORT OF THING.
THAT MIGHT GIVE US VERY NEUTRAL INFORMATION TO INTERPRET.
[00:15:03]
WHAT IS THAT ROLE CALLED THE GRAND MARSHAL OF THE PARADE AND WHAT'S THEIR DUTY? THEY ARE REALLY JUST A FIGUREHEAD, IT'S KIND OF AN HONOR TO BE GIVEN TO A LOCAL CITIZEN.USUALLY SOMEBODY WHO'S GIVEN A LOT OF SERVICE, I BELIEVE LAST YEAR OR THE YEAR BEFORE WAS A LOCAL POLICE OFFICER WHO'S DONE A LOT FOR THE COMMUNITY.
AND WAS NICK'S, NICK LAMBERT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GROUND NATIONAL.
SO, UM, WELL IT'S JUST IF WE DECIDE AND GO TO THEM AND ASK THEM, THEN WE GET MORE OF A SAY OF WHO'S REPRESENTING HUBER HEIGHTS.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHO'S GONNA APPLY, BUT IF YOU, IT'S HARD TO GET SOMEBODY TO SAY THEY WANT TO DO IT, THEN I UNDERSTAND.
LIKE OPENING IT UP TO EVERYBODY.
AND THE FORM WOULD BE A NOMINATION SO YOU COULD ATE SOMEBODY ELSE.
OH, SO YOU'RE NOT APPLYING TO DO IT.
YOU'RE NOMINATING, YOU'RE NOT YEAH.
BUT OBVIOUSLY CONFIRM WITH THE INDIVIDUAL THAT THEY WERE, I DON'T WANNA FORCE SOMEBODY TO BE THE GRAND MARSHALL THAT DOESN DOESN'T ENJOY IT.
SO I, IS EVERYONE OKAY WITH THAT? I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
AND YOUR, THE BOARD WILL REVIEW THOSE APPLICATIONS AND MAKE THE CHOICE, BUT WOULD SOME, I WOULD HOPE IT'D BE PUBLICIZED AS A NOMINATION INSTEAD OF AN APPLICATION.
WOULD SOMEBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? COME ON.
UM, I MOTION TO HAVE GRAND MARSHAL NOMINATIONS.
ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT MOVIE NIGHT OR IS THERE, DO WE HAVE TIME THIS YEAR? THIS BEING MARCH AND OH YEAH.
YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE BY THE TIME WE GET IT OUT IT'D BE APRIL, OH NO, BY THE TIME I GET IT OUT IT'LL BE FRIDAY AND THEN WE WILL WE'LL, UM, BE ABLE TO REVIEW THEM MAYBE THE MAY MEETING AND THEN THAT GIVES US A MONTH TO MAKE SURE THE PERSON IS INTERESTED.
BUT I WOULD, I WOULD PROBABLY, UM, WE'D PROBABLY FIND OUT WITHIN DAYS IF THE PERSON WAS INTERESTED.
SO THEY'D HAVE ABOUT A MONTH HEADS UP IF YOU THINK THAT'S APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF TIME BY THEN, PEOPLE PROBABLY HAVE THEIR VACATIONS FIGURED OUT TOO.
SO THEY'D BE ABLE TO TELL US NO GOING TO HAWAII.
UM,
AND SO THAT'S, I'M JUST, JUST HAVE TO CIRCLE UP WITH SARAH WILLIAMS TO MAKE SURE THAT LOGISTICALLY SHE THINKS IT'S POSSIBLE.
UM, AND THEN IT HAS SOMETHING ABOUT OUR CHURCH DOING A COOLING TINT.
AND ALSO I HAVE A TEAM THAT WOULD DO FACE PAINTING FOR FREE IF, IF THE CITY, IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED IN THAT AT THE, UM, STAR SPRINGLE.
WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO SEND THAT CONTACT OVER TO ME SO I CAN GET THEIR SET UP REQUIREMENTS? YEP.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ABOUT THE 4TH OF JULY OR THE PARADE? OKAY.
UH, WE STILL HAVE SOME PLANNING TO DO FOR THAT.
OUR FIRST ONE IS, ANYBODY HAVE IT OFF THE TOP OF THEIR HEAD? I DO.
THE FIRST MOVIE IN THE PARK IS INDIANA JONES ON.
OH WAIT, IS THERE A MAY ONE? OH NO THERE'S NOT.
OKAY, SO IT'S JUNE 21ST AND THEN WE HAVE OUR ENTERTAINMENT ALREADY.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE NEED FOR THAT NIGHT? THAT'S AT THOMAS CLOUD, CORRECT? YES.
OH, CAN'T GET BOTH GRINS HAVE SOMETHING TO DO.
SO WE COULDN'T EVEN BORROW THE COSTUME
THE SUN DOESN'T SET UNTIL ALMOST 10 O'CLOCK ON THAT NIGHT THAT WE'RE DOING THAT JUNE MOVIE.
SO WILL THE FELLOW THAT DOES THE WHIP THING, I MEAN, WHAT TIME ARE WE GONNA START THIS? AND IF WE STARTED AT SEVEN 30, DOES HE HAVE TWO AND A HALF HOURS WORTH OF CONTENT TO ENTERTAIN OR, THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION.
UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT HE HAS TWO AND A HALF HOURS.
I WILL CONFIRM WITH SARAH HIS CONTRACTUAL TERMS. AND THEN, UM, THAT'S A REALLY GREAT QUESTION.
AND IF WE NEED TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING ELSE TO FILL A GAP, THEN WE CAN,
[00:20:03]
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT SUGGEST PEOPLE COME DRESSED AS CHARACTERS FROM THE MOVIE.UH, I THINK WE CAN DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE THAT AT ALL.
SHOWS YOU MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING FOR KIDS THAT, UM, WE CAN BRING, I MEAN, I HAVE A TRAILER FULL OF BUBBLES AND H HOOPS AND JUMP ROPES AND CHALK AND THAT USUALLY KEEPS THEM BUSY FOR A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE THE MOVIE.
IT'D BE GREAT IF WE COULD FIND A BIG INFLATABLE BOULDER THAT THEY COULD RUN FROM
I CAN'T THROW ROCKS AT THE PEOPLE.
WELL, THEY HAVE THOSE CLEAR PLASTIC ONES YOU CAN GET INSIDE OF.
UM, SO IF ANYBODY KNOWS ANYBODY WITH A GRINCH COSTUME, A GRINCH COSTUME, I DON'T.
UM, WHAT ABOUT SANTA? WOULD WE WANT SANTA TO COME AND JUST SAY HEY, AND IT'S NOT, IT'S, IT MIGHT BE COOLER 'CAUSE SANTA COULD PUT SHORTS ON HAWAIIAN SHIRT, FLIP FLOPS AND OH YEAH.
I'M ON VACATION, BUT HEY, HOW YOU DOING? I KNOW WITH SANTA I CAN ASK.
I COULDN'T IMAGINE WEARING A MASK.
AND THEN, I MEAN, SANTA WOULD STILL HAVE TO IF HE DOESN'T HAVE A REAL BEARD RIGHT.
STUFF PUT A BEARD ON, BUT IT SOUNDS A LOT COOLER.
SO AUGUST IS, WAS THAT THE MARIO ONE? AUGUST? IS THAT THE WIZARD OF OZ? IS WIZARD OF OZ? RIGHT.
WIZARD OF OZ, WHICH EVERYBODY'S GONNA DRESS UP FOR.
AND THEN SEPTEMBER IS MARIO AND THEN WE'RE STILL HOLDING ON A BITES IN THE HEIGHTS.
UM, AND THEN MARIO, DID YOU SAY YOU WERE GETTING INFLATABLE FOR THAT? YES.
I'LL HAVE AN INFLATABLE FOR THAT.
WE CAN GET AN INFLATABLE FOR EACH ONE OF THESE IF WE WANT.
THERE'S REALLY FUN CHRISTMAS THEME INFLATABLES, UM, FOR THE GRINCH AS WELL.
UM, AND THEN WE COULD DO LIKE THE OBSTACLE COURSE STYLE FOR INDIANA JONES, MAYBE BECAUSE THEY KIND OF RUN THROUGH THE GAUNTLET.
OR THOSE CLEAR BALLS THAT YOU MENTIONED THAT THEY RUN AROUND IN THEM.
I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW HOT THAT IS IN JULY.
WHAT WILL THAT DO TO OUR BUDGET? UM, I DON'T KNOW.
I'M NOT OVERWHELMINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT IT, SO.
WELL LET'S DEFINITELY DO IT THEN.
I I DON'T THINK OUTSIDE OF, UM, WELL OUTSIDE OF STAR SPANGLED, WE AREN'T REALLY COMMITTED TO ANYTHING.
AND THAT KIND OF HAS, THAT HAS SOME OTHER FUNDS IN THERE SO WE CAN TAKE A LOOK.
WELL I WOULD BE VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT THAT BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THEY DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT THE, THE MARIAL FESTIVAL IS BECAUSE WE WERE SPENDING TOO MUCH FOR THE PEOPLE THAT CAME.
WHAT'S THAT? NOW? CITY COUNCIL? I WASN'T HERE FOR THAT.
WELL, CITY COUNCIL SAID, I MEAN, WELL, A COUPLE MEMBERS WAS LIKE THE AMOUNT WE WERE SPENDING FOR WHAT WE WERE GETTING OUT OF IT.
SO BY GETTING, GETTING OUT OF IT, DO YOU MEAN THE NUMBER OF ATTENDEES? YEAH.
OH, WELL ISN'T MOVIES MUCH SMALLER THAN MARIGOLD FESTIVAL? YEAH.
I MEAN, MEAN THAT'S DEFINITELY A QUESTION THAT, I MEAN, WE HAVE TO BE, I CAN BRING NUMBERS AND WE CAN SEE IF WE, YOU HAVE A MUCH BETTER IDEA OF HOW MANY PEOPLE COME.
UM, SO I CAN MAYBE GET NUMBERS AND THEN YOU CAN TELL ME IF IT SOUNDS REASONABLE.
UM, ANYTHING ELSE FOR OLD BUSINESS? I GUESS, DO YOU WANNA TALK TO THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL? MARIAL FESTIVAL? YES.
UM, FROM, JUST FROM WHAT WE'VE HEARD, WHAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING UP DATES, UM, I LOOKED UP ALL THE DATES OF ALL THE FESTIVALS AROUND.
UM, WE COINCIDE WITH SOMETHING.
UM, WE CAN, UM, TABLE THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL FOR THIS YEAR, REIMAGINE IT TO SOMETHING ELSE.
UM, I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN LOOKING AND THINKING, SO DO YOU WANNA DISCUSS IT? IDEAS? DO WE WANNA VOTE ON IT? I THINK WE SHOULD DISCUSS BEFORE WE VOTE.
I THINK WE SHOULD DO SOME TYPE OF FOOD THING.
I KNOW WE HAVE BITES IN THE HEIGHTS, BUT I KNOW THERE'S LIKE POPCORN FESTIVALS, POPULAR STRAWBERRY FESTIVALS, POPULAR, JUST FOOD MOTIVATES PEOPLE.
SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.
PLUS THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO PROVIDE
[00:25:01]
THAT THE VENDORS WOULD PROVIDE THOSE ITEMS, UM, WAS JUST AN IDEA.UM, I THINK IF WE'RE GONNA CHANGE IT, IT SHOULD BE NEXT YEAR.
SO THIS YEAR WE EITHER CANCEL OR WE LEAVE IT AS IS.
I DON'T THINK, UM, COMBINING WITH HALFTIME USA IS A GOOD IDEA.
UM, THIS GENTLEMAN KIND OF BROUGHT UP EVERYTHING THAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT TO BEGIN WITH.
YEAH, I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH TY.
I THINK WE, WHATEVER WE DECIDE AND DISCUSS TO DO MOVING FORWARD WOULD BE A NEXT YEAR DECISION.
AND WE JUST NEED TO MAKE THE DECISION WHETHER WE DO IT THIS YEAR OR NOT AT ALL.
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE A MAJOR CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER.
SO, SO LET'S JUST ASK THE QUESTION.
DO WE GO FORWARD WITH MARIGOLD FESTIVAL AS IT IS OR SHOULD WE JUST TABLE IT FOR TABLE IT? THE PROBLEM WITH TABLING IT IS WE LOSE ANY AND ALL ATTENDANCE AND PEOPLE THAT WE'VE NETWORKED WITH.
UM, WHEREAS THEN WE COME BACK IN 25, NOW WE'RE STARTING ALL OVER FROM SCRATCH AND, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S, IF WE COME BACK WITH IT, YEAH.
IF WE COME BACK, THAT'S THE BIG THING.
BUT IF WE DO, IT WOULD BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EVENT.
SO THEY WOULDN'T BE, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE THAT COME FROM MARIGOLD ARE COMING FOR, YOU KNOW, THAT TYPE OF FESTIVAL AND THAT TYPE OF EVENT.
WHO'S TO SAY IT MIGHT NOT EVEN BE SOMETHING LIKE THAT? WE'D GET NEW VENDORS.
WE STILL HAVE CONTACTS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE APPLYING FOR STAR SPANGLED.
BUT YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE LOSING EVERYBODY THAT WOULD'VE COME THAT WEEKEND AND THEY'RE GONNA GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND MAKE OTHER CONTACTS.
GETTING THEM TO COME BACK I THINK IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN RIGHT.
I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THE DATE.
RIGHT? THAT'S MY BIGGEST THING THERE IS THE DATE, THE, THE PROBLEM'S, THE DATE.
SO IT WOULDN'T EVEN BE THAT DATE NEXT YEAR.
I, FROM THE, FROM THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD THE LAST COUPLE MEETINGS, I DON'T EVEN THINK IT WOULD, EVEN IF WE BROUGHT BACK THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL NEXT YEAR, IT'S NOT GONNA BE THAT DATE.
SO IT DOESN'T, AND EVEN IF WE HOLD IT THIS YEAR, IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT DATE.
IT SHOULD BE MOVED UP TO AUGUST AND THEN THAT, THAT WAY WE CAN KIND OF TEST THE WATERS FOR WHATEVER WE DO GOING FORWARD.
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT COME TO THE MARIVILLE FESTIVAL BECAUSE THEY'RE OFF AT SOME COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME SOMEPLACE.
OR THEY'RE BAND PARENTS, THEY GET KIDS IN A BAND, THEY'RE FOLLOWING THAT OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT.
I WASN'T HERE WHEN THEY CREATED THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE THOUGHTS WERE BEHIND IT.
AND SO, I MEAN, NO ONE'S STANDING UP AND SAYING WE NEED THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL.
UM, BUT WAS IT, WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANYBODY SAY THAT.
SO IT WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED IN THE 90, LATE ACTUALLY LATE EIGHTIES.
I THINK IT'S BEEN AROUND OVER 50 YEARS AND, UH, NO.
WELL, I'M FROM THE EIGHTIES AND I'M NOT 50.
SO I HOPE THAT'S NOT YEAH, I THINK THAT IT MIGHT HAVE GONE AWAY, BUT I THINK YEAH.
IT, IT DIDN'T, I THINK THERE WERE SOME IN MAJORITY PLANT THE FLOWERS.
THERE WEREN'T SOME IN, THERE WASN'T A MARIGOLD FESTIVAL DATING BACK TO THE TOWNSHIP? NO.
WELL, I'LL TRUST, I'LL TRUST YOUR WISDOM ON IT.
I THOUGHT I HAD HEARD THAT, BUT I COULD BE VERY WRONG.
MY QUESTION IS, ISN'T MARIGOLD A SPRAY FLOWER KIND OF OFS ALL SEASON? JULY OF AUGUST? YEAH.
THEY'LL STAY AND THAT WAS THE DATE.
I HAD REASON FOR DOING IT IN AUGUST.
I'M ASKING TINA 'CAUSE SHE GROWS THEM.
I PLANT THEM LATER SO THAT THEY YEAH.
BUT TYPICALLY THEY WOULD TEND TO BLOOM.
THE PROBLEM WITH IN THE BLOOMING TIME IS THE 4TH OF JULY.
LIKE YOU DON'T WANT ANOTHER FESTIVAL, MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL.
UM, THAT'S ALL WITHIN THAT TIME PERIOD.
THAT'S, THAT'S A LOT OF FESTIVALS.
IT'S A LOT ON YOUR VOLUNTEERS.
SEE, THIS YEAR WE'RE HAVING, WE'RE DOING THREE BACK TO BACK TO BACK IN THE MONTH OF JUNE.
WHAT NOW? THIS YEAR WE WILL BE DOING THREE FESTIVALS IN THE MONTH OF JUNE.
ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION ISS DOING THREE FESTIVALS IN THE MONTH OF JUNE.
NO, NOT THE SEA CITY OF YOU GUYS.
THE PEOPLE WITH JUNETEENTH, THE JUNETEENTH PEOPLE, THE MULTICULTURAL
[00:30:01]
PEOPLE, THEY WILL BE COMING AROUND AND ASKING US TO HELP THEM OUT AS WE WOULD ASK THEM TO HELP US WITH THE STAR SPANKED HEIGHTS.SO YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE NOT COMPLETELY WRONG IN SAYING THAT WHEN YOU'RE WORRYING THAT WE'RE GONNA BE INVOLVED IN THREE.
SO JUNETEENTH WHAT'S THE OTHER TWO? THE MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL OF STAR SPANGLED HEIGHTS SPARK.
STAR SPANGLED HEIGHTS IS IN JUNE.
SO IF WE DID, UM, CANCEL THIS YEAR AND THEN COME BACK NEXT YEAR WITH SOMETHING ELSE, WE, WE MIGHT LOSE SOME PEOPLE, BUT WE LOSE SOME PEOPLE.
BUT IF WE WERE GOING TO CREATE SOMETHING NEW, IF IT'S EXCITING ENOUGH, WE'RE ALSO GONNA, WE COULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO DRAW IN A REALLY BIG CROWD.
AND LIKE YOU SAID, FOOD, PEOPLE LIKE FOOD.
I MEAN, WHATEVER WE GO WITH, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DRAW IN A BIGGER CROWD OR A GOOD FIRST CROWD, IF YOU GET WHAT I'M SAYING.
WELL, HOW ABOUT THIS? WHY DON'T WE TABLE THIS DECISION UNTIL NEXT MONTH? NO, NO WAY.
I DON'T WANNA CONTINUE TO TAKE VENDORS AND MONEY AND, AND AND MONOPOLIZE PEOPLE'S WEEKENDS AS WELL AS IF WE'RE GONNA, WE PUT THAT OUT, YOU KNOW, FOR YES, IT IS, IT IS, IT IS NOT BEING PUSHED TO PUBLICIZE, BUT OF COURSE PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT IT CAN SEEK IT OUT.
IT WAS IN THE NEWSLETTER LAST MONTH AND IT STATED STUFF ABOUT THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL.
SO, SO I WOULD PREFER, YOU KNOW, THAT A DECISION BE MADE TONIGHT, UM, ON WHETHER YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE IT THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR.
AND THEN, UM, I WAS GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS IN MY NEXT BULLET POINT, BUT, UM, I WOULD LIKE, I'M TAKING THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD THROUGH A STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO DO THE SAME WITH THIS BOARD, UM, TO KIND OF HELP GUIDE, YOU KNOW, THE VISION OF HOW YOU SEE YOUR BOARD FUNCTIONING IN THE CITY AND, AND, UM, WHAT TYPES OF PROJECTS YOU WANT TO BE WORKING ON AND HOW THAT WORK INFLUENCES THE CITY'S WORK.
SO IF YOU GUYS ARE AMENABLE TO THAT, THEN UM, WE WOULD DO A ROBUST PROGRAM PLANNING PROCESS FOR ANY NEW PROGRAMS IN THE FUTURE.
UM, AND IF WE DECIDE TO CONTINUE MARIGOLD, JUST REINVENT IT NEXT YEAR, THEN WE WOULD ALSO DO THAT PROCESS TOGETHER.
IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION, WHETHER WE SHOULD HAVE THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL TO, LET'S JUST SAY FOR THIS YEAR, I MOTION TO CANCEL THE MARYGOLD FESTIVAL FOR 2024.
DOES ANYONE OPPOSE THAT? I DO.
IS THAT TO SAY THAT THE OTHERS ARE IN FAVOR? SIX IN FAVOR.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPELLING THAT OUT FOR ME.
AND THAT DOESN'T SAY FOR NEXT YEAR WE CAN, WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION ANOTHER, ANOTHER TIME SINCE JUST FOR THIS YEAR.
ANY OTHER NEW BUSINESS? WELL, SINCE SARAH HAS ASKED ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS, I PRINTED OUT A COUPLE THINGS, UM, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYBODY'S READ IT OR NOT, BUT THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION IS CHARGED WITH STUDYING AND DEVELOPING A PROGRAM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF ALL FORMS OF ART WITHIN THE CITY, INCLUDING FINE ARTS, PERFORMING ARTS, HISTORICAL ARTS, AND INTEREST IN THE COMMUNITY.
HERITAGE FOLK ARTS, CULTURE, ARTS, THE ARTS AND BE BEAUTIFICATION.
COMMISSION MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL ON THE IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATION OF CITY ARTS PROGRAMS. THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION HAS PLANNING AND OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES RELATED TO CITY SPONSORED FESTIVALS, EVENTS, PARADES, AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES.
THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFIC, SORRY GUYS.
THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION ALSO IS CHARGED WITH STUDYING AND DEVELOPING PROPOSALS AND PLANS FOR THE BEAUTIFICATION OF THE CITY, MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY COUNCIL FOR IMPLO COMMUNICATION
[00:35:01]
OF PROPOSALS AND PLANS AND PERFORMING OTHER DUTIES AS THEY MAY BE ASSIGNED BY CITY COUNCIL.THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE CITY COUNCIL LEGISLATION.
THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING.
THIS IS WHAT THE CITY COUNCIL HAS ASK US TO DO.
SO IN THINKING ABOUT THAT, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IS MAYBE NEXT STEPS FOR US.
IF WE'RE NOT PLANNING A MARIGOLD FESTIVAL, WHAT ELSE COULD WE DO? WHAT ELSE COULD WE DREAM, IMAGINE? UM, AND THAT, THAT, THAT WILL HELP US JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD BE OUR NEXT STEPS.
SINCE THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL IS OFF OUR, OUR PLATE, WE DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE WIGGLE ROOM AND TIME AND THINGS WE CAN THINK ABOUT.
SO I JUST WANTED TO READ THAT FOR EVERYBODY.
AND IT, I HAVE A COPY FOR EVERYBODY.
FOR YOU, I KNOW SOMETIMES I LIKE TO LOOK AT THAT, UM, AND THINK ABOUT AND, AND KNOW WHAT OUR PURPOSE IS.
SO ON THE BACK OF THAT SHEET IS, UM, IT'S AN EVALUATION PLAN.
I KNOW WE TALKED A COUPLE MEETINGS AGO ABOUT, UM, HOW WE SHOULD, UM, EVALUATE WHAT CITY COUNCIL WANTS.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL, LIKE, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T HAPPY WITH THE WAY THINGS WERE GOING, SO WHAT DO THEY WANT? UM, SO THIS WAS JUST KIND OF COUPLE NOTES I WROTE DOWN.
WE SHOULD REALLY THINK ABOUT HOW WE SHOULD EVALUATE AND ALL OF OUR EVENTS.
WHAT, WHAT'S KIND OF LIKE A SMART PLAN, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
SO I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT, SO I JUST WROTE SOME NOTES.
WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT TODAY, BUT WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT IT FOR THE FUTURE IF YOU GUYS ARE OKAY WITH IT.
THERE'S, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE YOU, THIS SOUNDS CHEESY, BUT I'D LIKE TO TAKE YOU ON A JOURNEY OF THIS PLANNING PROCESS.
AND WE'LL START WITH TENETS OF PROGRAM AND EVENT PLANNING.
WE'LL MOVE FORWARD LOOKING AT PAST OFFERINGS OF THE BOARD, FUTURE OFFERINGS AND OPPORTUNITIES.
WE'LL PROBABLY CONDUCT A SWOT ANALYSIS, WHICH IS WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO KIND OF GET A GREAT PICTURE OF WHERE THIS BOARD IS NOW.
THINGS YOU DO WELL, AREAS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO EXPAND UPON.
UM, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY INTRODUCE YOU TO THE STANDARDIZED PROGRAM PLANNING PROCESS THAT WE'LL BE USING ACROSS THE BOARD, UM, FOR ALL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS IN THE CITY.
IF THEY'RE PLANNING AN EVENT, THEY WILL GO THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS, UM, WITH ME OR ANOTHER LIAISON OF THE CITY JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HITTING ALL OF THOSE DOTS.
AND THERE IS, UM, A LITTLE BIT OF A VALUATION COMPONENT THAT WE'LL ASK FOR.
I'M PART OF THE CITY AND THEN ANYTHING INTERNALLY YOU WANNA DO IS ALSO AMAZING AS WELL.
SO DO YOU HAVE A PRINTOUT? I WILL, I WILL HAVE.
SO I'LL EACH AGENDA, I'LL KIND OF TAKE, I DON'T WANNA SPEND THREE HOURS EACH NIGHT TAKING US ON A WHOLE PROCESS.
UM, SO WE'LL KIND OF HIT ONE BULLET POINT AND THEN WE CAN CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES.
WE CAN CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT ART IN THE PARK.
YOU GUYS CAN CONTINUE TO BRING IDEAS OF OTHER THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT WANNA DO.
UM, WAYS TO AUGMENT STAR SPANGLED HEIGHTS, ALL THAT CAN CONTINUE TO BE ON THE AGENDA AS WELL.
NOW, IS THE ART IN THE PARK? IS THAT PARKS AND RECS, OR IS THAT US? WELL SEE.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF THE ISSUE, ISN'T IT? UM, WHEN THE CITY CONDUCTS AN EVENT, THE CITY IS CONDUCTING THE EVENT.
SO WHETHER OR NOT IT IS CHAMPIONED BY AN INDIVIDUAL BOARD, UM, WE NEED TO HAVE SOME SEMBLANCE OF SIMILARITY FROM THE PLANNING AND FUNDING AND EVALUATION AND STRUCTURE.
UM, SO THIS SAME PROCESS WILL HELP US GET THERE.
UM, I'M, I'VE STARTED IT WITH THE CULTURE BOARD AND, UM, FOR THEIR MULTICULTURAL EVENT AND WALKING THROUGH THE STEPS, SEEING WHAT LEVEL OF SUPPORT THEY NEED FROM CITY EMPLOYEES, WHAT THEY PLAN TO BE ABLE TO DO WITH VOLUNTEERS.
UM, SO IT'S REALLY THAT THEY, THE BOARD WOULD BE SEEN AS A CHAMPION FOR AN EVENT IF IT'S ONE THAT THEY WANNA PUT FORWARD.
UM, YOU ALSO, YOU HAVE AN ADVISORY CAPACITY.
SO IF YOU'RE LIKE SARAH AT ALL PARKS AND REC EVENTS, WE WANNA SEE SOME ELEMENT OF ARTS, UM, BECAUSE THAT'S IMPORTANT TO US, THEN I'D SAY, GREAT, THANK YOU FOR BEING ADVISORY.
UM, AND I WORK WITH THAT AND RUN FROM THERE.
THERE'S OTHER ASPECTS TO ART ALSO IN THE COMMUNITY.
[00:40:01]
YOU KNOW, WE CAN BREACH INTO PUBLIC ART AND SHOULD WE HAVE A PROGRAM FOR THAT? AND WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? AND WHICH YOU WOULD GIVE ADVICE ON HOW WE STRUCTURE A PROGRAM LIKE THAT.UM, THERE'S ALL SORTS OF CONSIDERATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC ART FROM THE ACQUISITION TO WHAT DO WE DO TO DECOMMISSION IT? AND THEN THERE'S JUST A WHOLE SWATH OF THINGS TO TALK ABOUT FOR THIS BOARD.
UM, I THINK YOU GUYS DO FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS AND HOLIDAYS EXTREMELY WELL.
AND THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A GAP IN SOME OF THE PERFORMING ARTS AND, UM, SOME OTHER TYPES OF ARTS, WHETHER IT BE WRITTEN, UM, THAT SORT OF THING.
SO THERE'S, THERE'S DEFINITELY AREAS THAT, THAT WE CAN PARTNER ON.
PARTNERS PROBABLY THE WRONG WORD.
TINA, WERE YOU ASKING IF WE WERE LIKE SUPPOSED TO BE VOTING PLANNING THESE EVENTS AND THERE'S A CHANCE THAT IS ARTS AND REC EVENT, RIGHT? CORRECT.
SO, SO THAT'S KIND OF THE PROBLEM AND WHY I THINK WE NEED TO START FROM THE GROUND UP BECAUSE ALSO WHEN I ENTERED, I'M PARKS MANAGER AND THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD SAYS, WELL WE HAVE AN EARTH DAY EVENT.
AND THEY WERE CONDUCTING AN EVENT THAT THEY VIEWED THAT SOME VIEWED AS SEPARATE FROM THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, DESPITE IT BEING THE BOARD THAT IS MOST CLOSELY RELATED TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.
SO WE NEED TO TAKE OUR EVENT PLANNING PROCESS AND APPROACH EVERY EVENT AS THOUGH IT'S BEING OFFERED BY THE CITY.
AND THEN IF THERE IS AN INDIVIDUAL BOARD CHAMPION CHAMPIONING THAT EVENT, THEN THEY'LL ABSOLUTELY BE MENTIONED AS BEING PUT ON BEING BY THE VOLUNTEERS OF THIS BOARD.
UM, BUT IT, IT'S NOT AN INDEPENDENT ENTITY.
SO DO YOU I THINK, HOLD ON, PRESIDENTS OF THE CITY REALLY HAVE SO SUPPOSED BE THE CHAMPIONS.
I THINK SO WE, WE HAVE TO HOLD THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE FREAKING MY VOLUNTEERS OUT
LIKE, BECAUSE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE AT EVERY, THAT ADDS A WHOLE LEVEL OF NO, YOU WOULD NOT BE AT EVERY EVENT.
UM, I THINK WHEN WE START BLENDING THE LINE, UM, THAT'S GONNA BE HARD TO DETERMINE.
SO I BY NO MEANS MEAN THAT YOU WILL BE AT EVERY EVENT.
UM, SO FOR EXAMPLE, THE MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY EVENT IS AN EVENT THAT IS PUT ON BY THE BOARD THAT IS A FUNCTION OF THE CITY.
SO WE HAVE TO KIND OF, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IT'S A PROCESS THAT WE NEED TO GO THROUGH AND WE NEED TO HAVE FRANK DISCUSSION ON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I BRING TO YOU, UM, SO THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE, WHERE THESE PROGRAMS LIE.
DOES THAT MAKE, I DON'T KNOW THAT I'M MAKING ANY SENSE WITHOUT, CAN I ASK, BEING ABLE TO JUST TAKE YOU ON A STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS IF WE CHOOSE NOT TO CHAMPION A CERTAIN EVENT? MM-HMM.
SO WE CHOOSE WHAT WE WANNA BE INVOLVED WITH.
WELL, 'CAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU WANNA DO A LOT OF COLLABORATION, BUT AS LONG AS THAT'S VOLUNTARY, NO.
SO THE, YOU, WE WOULD OF COURSE TAKE VOLUNTEERISM ACROSS THE BOARD IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING SOMEWHERE.
BUT NO, YOU WOULD CONTINUE TO HAVE EVENTS THAT WERE, THAT WERE PUT ON BY YOUR BOARD USING YOUR FEEDBACK, USING YOUR BRAIN POWER, UM, YOUR ADVICE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
UM, PLANNING ELEMENTS, YOU KNOW, AS ASSIGNED.
UM, SHANNON'S TAKEN A LOT OF, UM, RESPONSIBILITY AND GETTING PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH STAR SPANGLED HEIGHTS AND, UM, REACHING OUT TO THE SCHOOL AND ALL OF THAT WILL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION MOSTLY THE SAME FROM MY POINT OF VIEW.
WE JUST NEED TO BRING SOME SIMILARITY, SOME STRUCTURE TO EVENTS SO THAT THAT WAY WE CAN ALSO COMPARE THEM INTERNALLY ACROSS THE BOARD OF IS THIS ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISHING ITS GOAL.
I WILL SAY FROM THIS END, WE ARE NOW WORKING ON OUR THIRD LIAISON IN A VERY SHORT TIME.
AND, UM, WE'RE VOLUNTEERS AND WE, THIS BOARD ALONE DOES 90 HOURS MINIMUM A YEAR TO CHAMPION OUR EVENTS.
A LOT OF US DO PICK UP THE SLACK AND OTHER EVENTS.
YEAH, I DEFINITELY, I KNOW YOU TO BE THE MOVERS.
AND SHAKERS AND, AND PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS.
THIS CONVERSATION IS MAKING ME VERY NERVOUS.
UM, BUT, UM, WE WORK REALLY HARD ON OUR EVENTS
[00:45:01]
AND, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY MIXING AND, UM, THAT'S A LITTLE, WELL, I THINK WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT HERE OR WHAT SARAH SARAH'S TALKING ABOUT.IF YOU LOOK AT CHERYL BRANDENBURG FOR EXAMPLE, I MEAN CHERYL, SHE COMES UP EVERY SATURDAY AND SETS UP FOR THE FARMER'S MARKET.
UH, SHE DOES COME UP AND HELP AT THE, UH, JUNETEENTH, UH, IT DOES THE MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL.
AND, UM, BUT I MEAN THAT'S WHAT SHE LIKES TO DO, WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO WHERE NOBODY'S POINTING A GUN AT CHERYL'S HEAD AND SAYING YOU HAVE TO, YOU HAVE TO GO AND DO THAT.
BUT I MEAN, BECAUSE SHE'S ON OUR COMMISSION, IT DOES APPEAR TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE ARE REACHING OUT AND BEING INVOLVED WITH THE OTHER MISSION.
WELL, I'VE HELPED WITH OTHER THINGS TOO.
BUT IT JUST SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE SAYING WE, LIKE, LIKE YOU SAID LINDSAY, IT'S UNKNOWN TO US WHAT YOU'RE REALLY WANTING US TO DO, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE PUTTING US TOGETHER WITH THINGS.
WELL THERE, THERE WAS TALKS BEFORE THERE WERE BLENDING OF BOARDS GET ABOLISHING ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION BLENDING.
UM, SO WE FELT REALLY HARD TO KEEP OUR BOARD BECAUSE ONE OF OUR BIGGEST ARGUMENT, NINE VOLUNTEERS FOR, UM, OUR EVENTS, IT'S A LOT BETTER THAN NINE FOR THEM AND NINE FOR WHATEVER EVENTS THEY DO.
UM, BUT WHEN YOU START BLENDING BOARDS AND THEN, UH, ABOLISHING SOME, UM, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE AS MANY VOLUNTEERS.
SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE SPEAKING ABOUT WE AND BLENDING FROM PAST CONVERSATION, IT MAKING US A LITTLE NERVOUS, OR AT LEAST ME.
IS IT MORE OF A PAPERWORK THING? IT'S A LOT OF A PAPERWORK THING.
SO IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S JUST LIKE, WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT.
WE JUST HAVE TO FILL OUT THE PAPERWORK A NEW WAY, RIGHT? SO THAT WE'RE ALL FILLING OUT THE PAPERWORK THE SAME WAY.
WELL, THE PAPERWORK ISN'T REALLY US, THAT'S YOU AND THE PAPERWORK IS GOING TO INFLUENCE.
UM, SO WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE A CRITICAL LOOK AT ALL OF OUR OFFERINGS, UM, BECAUSE AT THE END WAS WANTING TO LOOK AT THIS.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING? NO.
SO THEY CAN SEE ME AS THE, AS THE PARKS MANAGER.
AND, UM, MY PURVIEW INCLUDES EVENTS, PART TAKING PLACES IN OUR PARKS AND FACILITIES.
SO IF I AM GOING TO ALLOW AN EVENT FROM AN EXTERNAL USER, LET'S SAY MCDONALD'S WANTS TO HAVE AN EVENT IN THE PARK, THEY'RE GONNA GO THROUGH A PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT EVENT MEETS ALL OF OUR STANDARDS AND EXPECTATIONS.
AND THAT PROCESS IS GONNA LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN AN INTERNAL PROCESS.
AND THEN ON THE FLIP SIDE OF THINGS, FOR AN INTERNAL EVENT, WHICH WOULD BE AN EVENT OF THE BOARD AND COMMISSION, THE IDEA COMES OVER TO MY DEPARTMENT.
WE GO, GREAT, LET'S TAKE A CRITICAL LOOK AT IT.
WHAT IS ITS GOALS? WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH? UM, DO WE THINK WE HAVE THE MEANS TO ACCOMPLISH THAT? AND WE JUST KIND OF ASK THOSE QUESTIONS AND THEN WE GO ABOUT PLANNING THE EVENT AND PUTTING IT ON IF WE DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD.
SO YOU ARE NOW IN CHARGE OF ALL THE EVENTS IN THE CITY.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO ME? WELL, I'M NOT IN CHARGE OF ALL THE EVENTS IN THE CITY, BUT MY PURVIEW IS DIRECTING THE PARKS AND FACILITIES OF THE FACILITY OF THE CITY.
SO IF SOMETHING THAT'S, I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST THE LIAISON FOR OUR GROUP.
IF SOMETHING IS HAPPENING IN A PARK OR FACILITY, THEN IT'S UNDER MY PURVIEW.
SO I HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN KNOWING HOW IT WILL BE PUT ON KNOWING THAT IT'S GONE THROUGH A PLANNING PROCESS AND THAT, SO BECAUSE YOU HAVE NEW PURVIEW, YOU WANNA CHANGE THE WHOLE PROCESS OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT PROCESS YOU'VE BEEN DOING.
SO THAT'S WHERE WHATEVER YOU HAVE BEEN DOING, UM, WE CAN TAKE IT AND WE CAN MESH AND MOLD IT.
AND THAT'S WHY I PLAN TO BRING IT ONE STEP AT A TIME OF LIKE, HEY, HERE'S THE, LET'S DO A START, PROBABLY START WITH A SWOT ANALYSIS WHERE WE LOOK AT, UM, STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, AND OPPORTUNITIES OF THE BOARD.
WE PROBABLY TAKE THAT PURPOSE STATEMENT THAT YOU READ.
WE ALSO PROBABLY REWORK THAT INTO A VISION STATEMENT SO THAT WE CAN PUT IT INTO MORE LIKE ONE OR TWO SENTENCES.
UM, AND THEN THAT PROCESS IS SIMILAR TO HOW WE ARE GONNA CONDUCT EVENTS WITH THE CRITICAL EYE.
SO THAT WAS WHAT CITY COUNCIL HAD VOTED ON FOR THE PURPOSE.
RIGHT? I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS THE LEGISLATIVE LANGUAGE.
I THINK WHAT YOU READ IS, UM, WHAT WAS SUMMARIZED FOR THE PUBLIC ON, ON THE WEBSITE.
I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME, BUT WE CAN LOOK AT THE LEGISLATIVE LANGUAGE AS WELL AND WE CAN GO BACK TO CITY COUNCIL FOR GUIDANCE.
ALSO, WE CAN SAY, HEY, FLUSH THIS OUT.
[00:50:01]
YOUR CONCERN? THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CITY COUNCIL AS OPPOSED, I'M NOT SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF, OF CITY COUNCIL.I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE WHITE PARK DEPARTMENT CITY COUNCIL, DECIDING MORE CONTROLLING, WE'RE, AND YES, WE'RE AN ADVISORY BOARD, BUT, OR WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE VOTING RIGHTS.
NO, NO ONE HAS ASKED ME ANYTHING.
I HAVE NOT HAD ANY DISCUSSIONS WITH CITY COUNCIL.
SO JUST AS THE PARKS MANAGER, AN EVENT SPENDING TAX MONEY THAT I ENCUMBER AS A CIVIL SERVANT AND ASK FOR AND ASK TO SPEND, I WANNA KNOW THAT THE PROCESS HAPPENED.
I WANNA KNOW THAT IT HAS A GOAL.
I WANNA KNOW THAT IT HAS ASPECTS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE EVALUATING ON.
I WANNA KNOW IT'S COST RECOVERY POTENTIAL FOR THE CITY.
SO HOW MANY SPONSORS WE THINK WE CAN LAND, HOW MUCH MONEY OR IF WE'RE GOING TO BE CHARGING AN ADMISSION FOR SOME ASPECT OF IT, ALL OF THAT.
SO MY THOUGHTS WERE WE WERE GIVEN A BUDGET TO VOTE ON AND WE WERE THE ADVISORY, UM, AND YOU WERE THE LIAISON AND LIAISON WERE JUST SUPPOSED TO HELP AND GUIDE US THROUGH THAT SITUATION.
SO THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'RE NOR WE'RE USED TO.
WHAT'S OUR NEXT EVENT? THE MOVIE ON JUNE 21ST, RIGHT? YEAH.
SO IS THAT SUITABLE OR WE NOT DO THE MOVIES OR YES, NO, I HAVE NO PLANS OF, SO ALL I WANNA DO IS TAKE YOU DOWN A ROAD WHERE WE START TALKING ABOUT THESE THINGS AND SEE IF WE CAN GET A BETTER IDEA OF WHERE WE'RE MOVING FOR THE FUTURE.
I DON'T PLAN TO STOP ANY OF YOUR EVENTS, UM, THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE OR CHANGE ANY ASPECTS OF THEM.
I'M JUST GONNA COME ALONGSIDE AND AND IMPLEMENT THEM IN A VERY SIMILAR FASHION.
I BELIEVE I I DON'T KNOW ENTIRELY, BUT IN A SIMILAR FASHION TO HOW YOU'VE HAD IT DONE IN THE PAST.
SO IF YOU TELL ME TO BOOK SANTA PROBABLY STOPPED ONE EVENT.
WELL, I I DON'T MEAN ANYTHING HARSH BY THIS AT ALL OR SO YOU WERE NOT HERE WHEN OUR BOARD HAD TO FIGHT TO STAY HERE AND SPEAK IN FRONT OF COUNCIL AND TALK ABOUT HOW YOU, WE WANTED TO DO SOME THINGS, BUT WE WEREN'T FELT WE WERE ALLOWED TO.
AND THEY SAT THERE AND TOLD US LIKE, YOU HAVE YOUR BUDGET.
YOU GUYS ARE THE VOTING BOARD.
UM, AND THEY GAVE US A LOT OF LEEWAY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO THIS YEAR.
UM, SO I'M CONFUSED NOW THAT NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER WE'RE GONNA HAVE THIS DISCUSSION AGAIN.
I WAS NOT THERE FOR THAT DISCUSSION.
I'M ONLY APPROACHING THIS FROM AN INTERNAL POINT OF VIEW.
UM, SO MAYBE WE DO NEED TO GO BACK IN FRONT OF CITY COUNCIL AND ASK THOSE.
I CAN ALSO GET CLARIFYING QUESTIONS, CLARIFYING INFORMATION MYSELF FROM CITY MANAGERS.
THIS WAS ONLY A PROCESS THAT I WANTED TO TAKE EVERYBODY DOWN.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT I'VE ALREADY STARTED WITH.
UM, THE CULTURE AND DIVERSITY BOARD.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE, YOU KNOW, THE PARKS DEPARTMENT WILL DO WHEN WE HAVE AN EVENT, OR THE PARKS BOARD WILL DO WHEN THEY HAVE AN EVENT UPCOMING.
UM, AND THEY'RE ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF REDEFINING THEIR VISION AND HELPING US IN OUR PARKS.
WELL, I ONLY ASK THAT BECAUSE YOU SAID THAT YOU WANTED TO AS PARK AND REC, YOU WANNA MAKE SURE THE MONEY IS BEING SPENT.
BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS OUR BUDGET, SO MAYBE SOME CLARIFYING QUESTIONS OF LIKE WHAT ALL THAT MEANS WITH, WITH YOU BEING PARKS AND REC.
AND THE LIAISON FOR ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION.
WHAT ARE THE THE, THE ROLES HERE? YEAH, LET'S GET SOME CLARIFICATION ON THE, THE ROLES.
I'VE ALWAYS FELT THAT WE WERE THE RECREATION PART OF PARKS AND RECREATION AND SEE THAT'S AN INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE.
I MEAN WE JUST DON'T SEE A LOT OF RECREATION BEING DONE BY PARKS AND REC AND IT SEEMS THAT WE ARE THE ONES DOING THE RECREATION PORTION OF THAT.
I WOULDN'T, I WOULD ABSOLUTELY AGREE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN OFFERING PREDOMINANT ROUTE OF RECREATION IN THE CITY IS IF IF YOU WANT TO FOLD THE TWO INTO ONE NOW YOU'VE CUT IN HALF THE NUMBER OF OFFICES.
I'M NOT AT ALL ASKING TO FOLD THE BOARDS INTO ONE.
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, AS PART OF YOUR, I BELIEVE THERE'S A REASON THAT I'M NOW THE LIAISON FOR THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION, AND I BELIEVE IT IS BECAUSE YOU DO SO MUCH WITH FESTIVALS AND EVENTS IN THE FACILITIES THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR.
YOU SEE NOW WE BROUGHT, WE, WE BROACHED THE SUBJECT OF BUDGET AND SO IT HAS ME A LITTLE CONCERNED NOW WE'VE ASKED THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL IS OUR BUDGET.
OUR BUDGET IN THE PAST HAS BEEN CUT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T DO EVENTS.
[00:55:01]
NOW HOW MUCH ARE WE GONNA GET X OUR BUDGET GONNA GET X BECAUSE WE'RE NOT DOING MARITAL FESTIVAL THIS YEAR.AND IT SEEMS LIKE IF WE DON'T SPEND IT, WE LOSE IT.
WELL, I WILL ADVOCATE FOR THAT NOT TO BE, BECAUSE IF WE ARE BEGINNING TO THINK ABOUT SOME A REPLACEMENT IN THE FUTURE, WE WOULD THINK THAT IT WOULD COST MONEY.
UM, SO I WILL ABSOLUTELY ADVOCATE FOR THAT AS WELL AS, YOU KNOW, ALL FOR THE BOARDS UNDER MY PURVIEW, I'LL BE PREPARING A BUDGET FOR THAT.
SO I'LL BE TAKING ALL OF YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHAT YOU WANNA DO, UM, THE ELEMENTS THAT YOU WANNA SEE AT YOUR, YOUR REPEATING EVENTS AND PROGRAMS AND WHAT WE SPENT LAST YEAR AND LOOKING AT ALL OF THAT TO COME UP WITH A RECOMMENDATION.
I THINK WE HAVE A YOU WANNA SAY SOMETHING? MR. I HAD A QUESTION.
I THINK, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I JUST, UH, WATCHING WHAT'S GOING ON AND BEING AN OUTSIDER AND GETTING A BITS AND PIECES, I THINK WITH MS. MCPHERSON BEING NEW, SHE'S JUST TRYING TO GET HER FEET UNDER AND STANDARDIZE THE PROCESS.
I DON'T SEE HER TRYING TO TAKE YOUR IDENTITY AWAY OR PARKS AND REC'S IDENTITY AWAY.
SHE'S JUST TRYING TO PUT A PROCESS TOGETHER SO THAT EVERYBODY IS STARTING WITH THE SAME CHECKLIST SO THAT SHE CAN PUT ALL THE RESOURCES IN PLACE FOR EACH EVENT THAT HAPPENS IN THE PARKS BECAUSE SHE'S NOW IN CHARGE OF MANAGING THE PARKS
SO, UM, THAT'S JUST MY OPINION FROM AN OUTSIDER LOOKING IN.
I DON'T SEE, I JUST THINK SHE'S TRYING TO GET ORGANIZED AND GET SET UP AND, AND MOVE FORWARD WITH HER NEW POSITION.
MAYBE I'M WRONG, BUT YES, I THINK I MIGHT'VE REALLY STEPPED IN IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW THE HISTORY AND, AND IT, IT IS JUST TRYING TO GET AN ORGANIZATIONAL AND, AND UNDERSTAND MISSION AND VISION AND YEAH.
I HOPE, I HOPE THAT WE APPRECIATE THAT.
YEAH, NO, UM, ANY ADDITIONAL BUSINESS OR ANNOUNCEMENTS? UM, SO IF YOU GUYS HAD A MINUTE TO LOOK OVER YOUR, UH, MINUTES, APPROVAL OF MINUTES.
IS EVERYONE, ANYONE THAT OPPOSES THE MINUTES? WE WE DID CORRECT THE YES THAT THEY ARE NOW EXCUSED? YES.
UH, THE NEXT UPCOMING MEETING IS, UM, APRIL 15TH.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS OR, OKAY.
UH, WE'LL ADJOURN THIS MEETING AT 7 31.
