[00:00:04]
OKAY.[1. Call to Order and Committee Attendance ]
I'M GOING TO CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER.DO YOU WANT TO GO DOWN THE LIST LIKE KATHY? SURE.
I MEAN, USUALLY SOON, SO WE COULD DO, WE COULD KIND OF PLAY OFF OF EACH OTHER.
[2. Approval of Minutes: February, and March]
DO YOU WANT ME TO DO THE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES? DOES ANYBODY, DO YOU GUYS APPROVE THE MINUTES? WE NEED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.UM, SO IN, IN APPROVING THE MINUTES, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT, UM, WE REALIZED NOW THAT WE ARE A BOARD, SO WE HAVE TO HAVE A QUORUM OF FOUR PEOPLE.
SO, SO THAT'S KIND OF THEIR YARD.
AND WE DO, WE HAVE, WE HAVE A FARM SO WE CAN DECIDE IF WE'RE GONNA APPROVE MINUTES.
SO WE'RE APPROVING BOTH THE FEBRUARY MINUTES AND THE MARCH MEETINGS.
UM, MY ONLY COMMENT IS ON BOTH FEBRUARY AND MARCH, JUST TO CHANGE IT FROM COMMITTEE ATTENDANCE, TO BOARD ATTENDANCE, AND THEN OKAY.
UM, GOING FORWARD, I THINK IT WOULD BE, UM, WHAT WE DO ON SCHOOL COMMITTEES IS WHO'S THERE.
UM, AND WHETHER IT'S BOARD MEMBERS OR COMMUNITY MEMBERS OR, UM, ADMINISTRATIVE MEMBERS.
SO, UM, JUST SO YOU CAN GO BACK AND SEE, YEAH, I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S A GREAT POINT.
SO FOR THE NEXT MEETING, WE'LL JUST KIND OF BREAK IT OUT TO STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS.
AND THEN LIKE, IF PUBLIC IS SOMEBODY FROM THE PUBLIC, YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE PUBLIC OR DO WE JUST LIST EVERYTHING, WE TALK ABOUT THE FULL BOARD MEETING.
IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO THEM, BUT AT THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS, IT'S NEVER MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE.
I THINK WHAT YOU COULD DO IS YOU COULD SAY THIS MANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SHOWED UP AND THEN IF THEY DECIDE TO SPEAK, YOU COULD ALWAYS PUT THEIR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR KIND OF LIKE WHAT THEY DO FOR THE CITY.
SO DOES EVERYBODY APPROVE BOTH THE FEBRUARY AND MARCH? I WASN'T HERE FOR BUSH.
WITH THE MINUTES PUBLIC COMMENT, DOES ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO SAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO? WELL, I'M JUST AMAZED AT THE QUALITY OF THE PARKS AND THE COMMUNITY CENTER THAT WE HAVE THE TOWNSHIP CENTER AND THAT THE, WHEN THE, WHEN THE NEWSLETTER COMES OUT, THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING HAPPENING IN THERE.
SO I THINK IT'S BEEN A VERY POSITIVE LIGHT FOR THE RESIDENTS TO SEE.
THANK YOU FOR THOSE KIND WORDS.
[4. New Business]
NEW BUSINESS, NEW.I SAY WE HAVE A NEW PUBLIC RELATIONS.
HER TITLE IS PUBLIC RELATIONS SLASH UH, MEDIA SPECIALIST.
SO SHE'LL BE TAKING OVER THE WEBSITE ON THE TOWNSHIP SIDE AND BE HELPING US WITH COMMUNICATIONS ALL FOR OUT.
SO FACEBOOK POSTS, WEBSITE POSTS MY ACTUAL.
SO WILL SHE BE DOING THE PARKS, ANYTHING ON THE PARKS AND REC? SO REALLY HELPING US OUT.
WE HAVEN'T REALLY FIGURED OUT THE EXACT WAY THINGS ARE GOING TO WORK.
WE DON'T HAVE, CAUSE SHE JUST STARTED ON MONDAY.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL CATCHING HER UP AND TEACHING HER EVERYTHING.
UM, BUT SHE'S REALLY, SHE'S A QUICK LEARNER.
SHE'S, YOU KNOW, SHE'S JUST SHORT FOR THE WHOLE TOWN.
SO SHE'S IN CHARGE OF THE TOWNSHIP STUFF.
SO THE NEWSLETTER, THE FACEBOOK PAGE, THE SIGN, UM, HELPING, YOU KNOW, ALL THE DEPARTMENTS WITH THE FACEBOOK PAGES THAT THEY HAVE AND MAKING SURE THE WEBSITE'S UP TO DATE, SENDING OUT, YOU KNOW, CONTACT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COMMUNITY, UM, WHAT THE TOWNSHIPS, UM, RULES ARE ON COMMUNICATIONS, BUT, UM, IF SHE'S GOING TO BE IN CHARGE OF IT, THEN I WOULD JUST, MAYBE YOU HAVE EMPLOYEES RULES THAT NOBODY SPEAKS TO THE PRESS DIRECTLY IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION.
I'M NOT SURE IF SHE'S GOING TO JUMP RIGHT INTO THAT PART OF THE ROLE.
I WOULD SAY THAT SHE WOULD JUST GO OUT THERE AND SPEAK FOR US, BUT YOU KNOW, MAYBE ONE OF THE TOWNSHIP DIRECTOR WOULDN'T SPEAK WITH HER BEFORE, BECAUSE WE CAN'T HAVE PEOPLE GOING OFF AND TALKING TO THE PRESIDENT, GIVING THEM FIVE DIFFERENT EXPLANATIONS FOR THE SAME THING.
SO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE ONE SOURCE LIKE THAT.
THAT WOULD BE THEIR RESOURCE AND THEY WOULD GO TO, AND IF SHE DOESN'T KNOW THE ANSWER, SHE WOULD GET THE ANSWER FOR THEM.
SO I THINK SHE'S POSSIBLY GOING TO EVENTUALLY WORK INTO THAT ROLE, BUT CURRENTLY
[00:05:01]
RIGHT NOW SHE'S NOT IN THAT SPECIFIC ROLE.SHE'S GOING TO, YOU KNOW, LEARN THE ROPES AND GET USED TO EVERYTHING.
AND WE'RE GOING TO COME UP WITH A, YOU KNOW, A MEDIA PLAN.
AND THEN IN AN, IN A CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, SHE MAY BE THE ONE THAT WOULD BE THE, THE PERSON, UM, THE INFORMATION, UM, EXPECT, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THE ANSWER.
IT'S LIKE,
SO SHE JUST STARTED ON MONDAY.
UM, YEAH, HONESTLY, MOST OF THE TIME IT IS THE CHIEF OF POLICE OR THE FIRE CHIEF.
SO, YOU KNOW, THEY USUALLY ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION, BUT WE ARE TRYING TO WORK TOWARDS THAT GOAL.
I THINK OF HAVING ONE SPECIFIC POINT OF CONTACT.
I THINK IT WOULD BE AWESOME IF WE COULD INVITE HER TO COME TO A MEETING.
SO THAT KIND OF THING, BECAUSE LIKE, YOU KNOW, OUR DEPARTMENT DOESN'T DIRECTLY OVERSEE HER POSITION.
UM, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOU'D HAVE TO TALK TO WHOEVER HER PERSON.
AND I THINK IT WOULDN'T BE YEAH.
IN HER JOB DESCRIPTION, IT SAID CREATIVE WAYS TO STIMULATE INTEREST IN TOWNSHIP ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS.
SO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE AGAIN, LIKE, YEAH, BUT THROUGH HER, SHE REPORTS TO, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO LIKE, SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO STAY THE WHOLE TIME, BUT JUST TO KIND OF INVITE HER TO, YEAH, I'VE HEARD TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS DOING.
I DON'T KNOW THAT HER SUPERVISOR WOULD HAVE TO KEEP, HEY, JOSH IS HERE, MAN.
I MEAN, CAN'T, WE JUST INVITE US.
I, I THINK WE, I LIKE TO, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO EXTEND AN INVITATION AND SUE CAN WORK THAT OUT.
SO I'LL PUT THAT IN WHAT YOU'RE TELLING US.
UM, BUT THAT'S AWESOME THAT, THAT POSITION TOO.
SHE'S DEFINITELY CAUGHT ON REALLY QUICKLY.
UM, WE WORKED ON THE NEWSLETTER TODAY, SO THAT SHOULD BE GOING OUT LATER IN THE WEEK.
UM, SO NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS THE EAC, THE ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL.
SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WAS JUST PASSED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN THE LAST, UH, BOARD MEETING.
AND THEY WOULD LIKE ONE TO TWO PEOPLE FROM THIS BOARD TO BE INVOLVED WITH THAT BOARD BECAUSE IT IS MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY PARKS, YOU KNOW, FOCUSED.
SO IF ANY OF YOU MAY BE INTERESTED, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN THINK ABOUT THAT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU CAN EMAIL SUE OR, UM, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'LL HAVE A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ON WHAT'S INVOLVED.
SO SHE SENT OUT ON THE ORDINANCE, SO HERE'S THE COPY OF THE ORDINANCE OF WHAT THEIR, THAT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IS TIME FOR MEETINGS.
UM, SO AS FAR AS I KNOW, I DON'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE SET A SPECIFIC TIME.
I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD OFF THE OFFICIAL PLANNING OF THE MEETINGS UNTIL JUNE.
I MEAN, BUT THE MEETING IS LIKE DURING THE DAY.
SO I THINK THE GOAL IS TO HAVE ONE OR TWO PEOPLE.
NO, IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE AT A NIGHT TIME MEETING, THE GOAL IS TO HAVE ONE TO TWO PEOPLE FROM THIS BOARD AND ONE TO TWO PEOPLE FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THEN, UM, PROBABLY MYSELF AND JEFF GRACE WILL BE KIND OF INVOLVED AS WELL FROM THE TOWNSHIP SIDE.
UM, AND THEN THAT WILL BE, I THINK JEFF WAS SAYING, AND THIS IS NOT SET IN STONE IN ANY NAMES, SO THIS COULD EASILY CHANGE, BUT THERE'S BEEN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HAVING IT, LIKE MAYBE BEFORE ONE OF THESE MEETINGS, JUST BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE TO DO WITH SOME OF THIS STUFF.
AND THEN YOU WEREN'T COMING OUT ON TWO DIFFERENT NIGHTS OR WHATEVER.
SO, SO YEAH, JUST THINK ABOUT IT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO SUE AND, UM, SHE CAN, YOU KNOW, ANSWER THOSE AS BEST AS SHE CAN, OR WE CAN GET THE ANSWERS FOR YOU FROM, FROM THE HIGHER UPS.
UM, SHE DID MENTION THAT SHE SENT AN EMAIL ON THREE FOUR, WHICH YOU HAVE THERE, WHICH IS THE ORDINANCE THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PASSED.
AND IF YOU READ THROUGH THAT, IT SHOULD HAVE THE BASIC INFORMATION OF WHAT THE BOARD AND ITS PURPOSE IS, OR THE COUNCIL IT'S NOT BOARD.
UM, AND YEAH, SO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, JUST LET US KNOW.
UM, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE ANY OF THEM.
NUMBER THREE, FLASHLIGHT, ICON AND COMMUNITY ICON.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED.
THANK YOU, LYNN, FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP DURING THAT, THAT WAS SUPER, SUPER HELPFUL.
AND WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING OUT.
UM, THE FLASHLIGHT ICON, WE HAD A HUNDRED PEOPLE REGISTERED, SO THAT WAS REALLY GOOD.
AND I THINK EVERYBODY CAME AND, UM, WE HAD THE POLICE ASSOCIATION DONATED $250 TO THE EVENT.
SO WE WERE ABLE TO GET PRIZES FOR THE TEAMS. AND, UM, THEY WERE REALLY EXCITED.
WE GOT, WE GOT GIFT CARDS CAUSE WE WEREN'T SURE WHAT TEAMS WOULD.
[00:10:01]
SO WE PULLED SOME TEAMS AND THEY'RE LIKE MONEY AND WE'RE GIVE YOU MONEY.WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU GIFT CARDS AND STUFF.
SO THEY WERE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
UM, BUT I THINK I WOULD TAYLOR, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP WITH THAT EVENT.
UM, YEAH, SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING OR I SIGNED UP FOR THE COMMUNITY.
CAUSE WE HAD, IT WAS AT LEAST LIKE THREE REGISTERS FOR THAT.
THAT'S JUST LIKE A COMMENT, YOUR OWN LIKE FREE, WELL JUST NO REGISTRATION BECAUSE IT'S FREE.
SO WE DON'T REQUIRE PEOPLE TO REGISTER AND USUALLY PEOPLE JUST SHOW UP SO HARD TO PLAN FOR IT, BUT IT IS HARD TO PLAN FOR IT AND HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, WE'LL GET, I MEAN, IT, IT WENT REALLY WELL, BUT IT WAS, IT WAS RAINING.
SO, AND THANK YOU FOR YOU GUYS FOR STICKING OUT IN THE RAIN.
WE WEREN'T SURE IF IT WAS GONNA RUN, BUT WE DID IT AND THEY WERE VERY APPRECIATIVE THAT THEY WERE LIKE, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE IN THE TOWNSHIP WHO'S DOING IT.
AND WE KIND OF JUST HAD TO ADD, LIVE AND USE THE PARKING LOT.
SO THE FIELDS DIDN'T HAVE THE EGGS AND IT WAS, BUT IT WORKED OUT REALLY WELL.
AND THERE WAS A, ONE OF THE VOLUNTEERS ON HIS NAME WAS MATEO.
UM, HE, HE, UH, ASKED ME IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO VOLUNTEER AND I SAID, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
LIKE, SO SEND, YOU KNOW, WE TIED AS SOON AS EMAIL OR WHATEVER CORRESPONDENCE WAS.
UM, SO JUST TO KIND OF MAYBE REACH OUT TO HIM, HE WANTS TO BE MORE INVOLVED.
I MADE A NOTE TO, UM, SPECIFICALLY ASK HER ABOUT HIM BECAUSE I KNOW SUE HAD PUT TOGETHER A SIGN UP SHEET FOR PEOPLE TO SIGN UP AND VOLUNTEER IN THAT WAY.
SO, AND THEN JAMES, AND IF YOU KNOW OF ANY PEOPLE WHO WOULD WANT TO, UM, YOU KNOW, FROM, FROM YOUR FRIENDS OR BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS KIND OF GET MORE, MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED AND HAVE LIKE A PRETTY PARTY VOLUNTEER POOL FOR EVENTS.
AND DID YOU, YOU PROBABLY LIKE, I THINK EVERYBODY GOT COPIED ON LIKE ALL THAT INFORMATION SUE SENT OUT, LIKE, DID YOU, DID YOU SEE THAT? CAN, WE CAN SEND THAT TO YOU? SO LIKE IF, IF ANYBODY ELSE, LIKE, I THINK IT WAS SENT ON LIKE MARCH 11, THAT LAST ONE.
SO THE MARCH 11TH ONE HAD A LOT OF STUFF.
WE COULD TALK ABOUT THAT AS WE GO DOWN, BUT FROM A VOLUNTEERING PERSPECTIVE, THERE'S THIS SPREADSHEET TO COLLECT.
UM, SO SHE, SHE HAS LIKE, THEY, THE EMAIL HAS, UM, YOU KNOW, SHE SAID THAT THERE'S A SIGN UP SHEET IN THERE FOR VOLUNTEERING.
SHE SENT 'EM, LET'S DO A VIDEO, A REALLY GOOD, REALLY NICE VIDEO OF, UM, PARKS, ARTHUR PLAN, THE PARK MASTER PLAN.
SO THAT'S LIKE THE I'LL MAKE SURE SUE GOES THROUGH AND CHECK YOUR EMAIL, MAKE SURE SHE'S I DON'T HAVE THAT.
AND I DON'T, UM, I MARKED THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE ORDINANCE EMAILS, SO I'LL YEAH, THE ORDINANCE WAS IN THERE TOO.
SO YEAH, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT WHEN SHE GETS BACK CHIEF WORKS ON TO, I'M NOT SURE.
SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT THE FLASHLIGHT ICON OR THE COMMUNITY ICON? JUST ONE.
I HAVE ONE GENERAL QUESTION THAT WE COULD ADDRESS MORE WHEN SUE'S BACK, BUT DO YOU GUYS HAVE LIKE A PROCESS THAT AFTER AN EVENT WHERE YOU KIND OF REGROUP AND YOU EVALUATE LIKE, WHAT WENT WELL? WHAT COULD YOU IMPROVE UPON? YEAH, WE HAVE THAT SHEET THAT, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT SHE HAD THAT MORNING THAT WE WOULD FILL OUT AFTER EACH EVENT? VAGUELY.
I CAN SEND ONE TO YOU IF YOU WANT.
NO, I JUST, I WAS JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE NOW LIKE IT'S, I THINK IT'S JUST THE, I'M SEEING MORE PEOPLE OUT AT PARKS AND STUFF AND NOW LIKE WHAT, WHAT CAN KIND OF HAPPEN? I MEAN, YOU MAY RUN INTO IT TOO.
LIKE THEY, PEOPLE ARE VERY POSITIVE AND SAY WHEN THINGS ARE GREAT, BUT THEY'RE ALSO WILL TELL YOU WHEN THEY THINK SOMETHING DIDN'T GO WELL.
AND I, I HAVE THAT, UM, SOME INFORMATION THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WEREN'T THAT HAPPY ABOUT THE CAMP EXPO.
SO I KNOW THAT I THINK THEY SAID THAT THEY WENT AND TALKED TO TIM.
SO I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW WE LOOK AT IT AT THINGS.
AND THEY KIND OF THINK ABOUT WAYS TO IMPROVE.
I GUESS, TWO THINGS, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GONNA SEND THIS TO THIS ONE, TO THAT ONE.
AREN'T THESE THINGS, AREN'T SECRET POLICIES.
WHY DON'T WE JUST POST THEM ON
[00:15:01]
THE WEBSITE AND YOU CAN GO OUT AND PUT A PDF UP THERE AND WE CAN JUST GRAB THEM OURSELVES.WE'RE MISSING SOMETHING LIKE THE ORDINANCE AND STUDENTS LIKE THAT.
UM, WELL THE ORDINANCES DON'T GET POSTED TO ANY WEBSITE THEY'RE APPROVED IN THE MEETINGS AND THEN I'M NOT SURE.
AND THE NEXT FOR YOU OR, OR ANYBODY LIKE A SECRETARY OR WHOEVER TO SOMEBODY SAID, I CAN'T, YOU GOTTA SEND IT AGAIN.
I THINK IT WAS SOMEPLACE, EVEN IF IT'S A SECTION OF THE, OF THE SITE THAT ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO.
WELL, I THINK THE ORDINANCES DO, I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAID WAS CORRECT EARLIER.
I THINK THEY DO GET POSTED TO E-COAT EVENTUALLY, IF IT'S AN ORDINANCE, I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AND THEN MY, AND THEN ADDING ONTO THAT.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT IF THERE'S A PLACE OUT, OUT ON THE PARKS AND REC SECTION WITH, UM, IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE THING, TELL US WHAT YOU SAW TO THE EVENT, AND THEN YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE TAKING IT PERSONALLY, BUT ALL OF THESE COMMENTS, BECAUSE SOME WERE CONSTRUCTIVE AND IF THEY ENCOUNTER PEOPLE, VOLUNTEERS AT ONE OF THE EVENTS AND THEY THOUGHT SOME COMPLAINTS, THEY COULD JUST SAY, WELL, GO TO SUCH AND SUCH SITE AND JUST WRITE THAT IN THERE.
AND THEN THE WHOLE BOARD YOU'LL SEE IF NOT THE SCREEN.
WE DO HAVE A CONTACT US FORM ON OUR WEBSITE, WHICH PEOPLE DO USE TO REPORT, UM, A LOT, USUALLY PUBLIC WORK STUFF.
IF THERE'S A STREETLIGHT OUT OR IF THEY HAVE A POTHOLE NEAR THEIR HOUSE, THEY'RE NOT HAPPY ABOUT, UM, DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT IT COULD ALSO BE SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S SPECIFIC TO SOME EVENTS.
SO, I MEAN, SO THEY'RE NOT, WHOEVER'S LOOKING AT THAT COMMENT SECTION THERE, OTHERWISE GETTING COMMENTS ON THINGS THAT DON'T EVEN CONCERN PERSON WHO'S LOOKING, WELL, ONE PERSON GETS THEM AND THEN THEY SEND THEM OUT TO THE DIRT.
THE SPECIFIC DEPARTMENT IS USUALLY, YOU KNOW, I THINK IF YOU'RE GAY, IF YOU'RE ASKING FOR COMMENTS, I THINK MY OPINION IS IF YOU GET THEM, IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THAT INTERNAL DISCUSSION, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AND I'M EVER SINCE LIKE SU RECENT THE ORDINANCE, YOU KNOW, I'M KIND OF LOOKING AT WHAT OUR POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S PRETTY KEY THAT THERE'S, YOU KNOW, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE, YOU KNOW, HELPING YOU GUYS FURTHER, YOU KNOW, FURTHER IN SOME OF YOUR GOALS TO AID IN STAFF, RECRUITING VOLUNTEERS TO HELP IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS. THAT'S WHY I WAS SAYING LIKE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE SHOULD KNOW MORE ABOUT LIKE A VOLUNTEER POOL AND, UM, AND THEN AT THE BIGGIE IS TO ASSIST IN EVALUATING PROGRAMS DURING AND AFTER THEIR IMPLEMENTATION WITH AN EYE TOWARDS ANY POSSIBLE PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS.
SO I THINK THAT IT'S KEY AND I'M GLAD THAT IT'S ON THE AGENDA.
LIKE IF ANY, ONE OF US VOLUNTEER AT ANY EVENT OR IF IN OUR, WHEN WE'RE OUT IN THE PUBLIC, IF WE HEAR COMMENTS ABOUT EVENTS, WE HAVE A MECHANISM AND IT COULD EVEN JUST BE AN EMAIL TO YOU GUYS IT'S YOU CAN TALK ABOUT IT INTERNALLY OR WE JUST BRING IT UP IN THE MEETING AS WELL.
WE CAN TALK TO SUE WHEN SHE GETS BACK AND SEE HOW SHE WOULD PREFER TO GET THAT INFORMATION.
CAUSE I WOULD IMAGINE IT WOULD PROBABLY GO TO HER.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ED?
[5. Old Business]
WE KIND OF MOVED ON TO THE OLD BUSINESS, UM, TO THE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES A LITTLE BIT, BUT UH, LET'S GO BACK TO PARK WATCH.UM, SO THE
UM, HOW ARE YOU?
SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON THINGS THAT COULD BE IMPROVED OR WHAT THEY WERE LIKE POSITIVE FEEDBACK, JUST KIND OF TAKING STOCK AND SEEING HOW PEOPLE ARE, ARE, WHAT THINGS ARE BEING USED.
LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU'RE HERE AT BLACKROCK, ARE THE SKATE PARKS PLAYGROUNDS AND MAYBE SEE WHY IS IT THAT KIND OF THING? SO WE GOT A SPREADSHEET WHERE WE KEEP TRACK OF THAT.
AND THEN LAST YEAR, KATHY DESIGNED THIS SPREADSHEET WITH, AS SARAH SAID, HOW COMPLICATED.
SO I WANT TO ADD AND CREATE A NEW SPREADSHEET FOR THIS YEAR, VERY SIMILAR, UM, A LITTLE MORE USER-FRIENDLY AND EASIER.
AND I'VE ALREADY PRE-POPULATED IT WITH WHO IS ASSIGNED TO EACH PART EACH TIME.
UM, I BELIEVE HE WROTE INITIAL NAMES OR EVERYBODY'S FULL NAMES
[00:20:01]
FOR YOUR AGENDA.AND THEN I ALSO WANT TO ADD, AND WHO DID THE SCHEDULE AND WHEREVER YOU CAN BLOCK YOUR VISITS ON ONE SPREADSHEET, BUT I KNOW LAST YEAR WHERE PEOPLE CAN SCHEDULE
AND THEN I ALSO WANT TO ADD SORT OF, UM, FOR EACH PART I'VE LISTED BURTON AS ASSIGNED AND IT'S DISTRIBUTED.
YOU CAN, AT LEAST EVERYBODY WILL HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF OPPORTUNITIES.
UM, AS FAR AS THE JUNIOR YOUNGER JAMES
UM, SO FOR A CERTAIN MONTH, FOR CERTAIN PARTS, 30 TO THE JUNIOR MEMBERS, WELL, I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE NICE WHEN WE ALL BE TOGETHER FOR SOME OF OUR PEOPLE.
SO THAT'S AND SO THAT WILL BE
SO IF THERE'S ANY CONFUSION ON WHERE IT IS AND OBVIOUSLY ROLE WE'RE NOT GOING TO APRIL, SO WE'LL START WITH OUR FIRST ARC WATCH DISCUSSION.
CAN YOU MAYBE PUT IN THERE, THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS OF THINGS THAT YOU WOULD ASK PEOPLE? CAUSE I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS WAS LIKE, ESPECIALLY LIKE THE DOG PARK, LIKE, UM, DO YOU LIVE IN THE TOWNSHIP? AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE WOULD BE AFRAID LIKE, AM I NOT ALLOWED TO BE HERE? IT'S JUST INTERESTING FOR US TO NOTE THIS FOR OUR INFO, MOST OF THE PEOPLE TO DOG PARKER FROM OTHER TOWNS.
SO SO JOSH HAVE ACCESS TO THAT BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE LIKE, BECAUSE THAT WOULD HELP THEN WHEN YOU COME TO THEM.
AND I THINK IT BE, IT'LL BE GOOD TOO, BECAUSE JUST FOR THE STRUCTURE OF THE MEETING, IF YOU CAN LOOK AT THAT BEFORE THE MEETING AND THEN WE COULD KIND OF JUST HIT LIKE HIGHLIGHTS, LOW LIGHTS ACTION.
AND THEN CAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS LIKE SO MANY OTHER THINGS TO DISCUSS.
AND I FEEL BAD CAUSE YOU'RE HERE FOR THE WHOLE MEETING AND LIKE WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO EVEN PUT IT AS A, UH, YOU KNOW, AN EARLY OPTION IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE OR I MEAN, LOVE THAT YOU STAY, BUT JUST TO KIND OF HELP IT BE A GOOD STRUCTURE AND EFFICIENT, ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON PARK BEFORE WE MOVE ON OR QUESTIONS.
UM, IF YOU OPEN THIS UP AND YOU THINK THAT WE'RE REALLY GONNA SEE THE BALL, WE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING ELSE.
SO I WOULDN'T SAY THEY'RE REALLY STRICT.
SO IF ANYTHING SHOULD BE ADDED ONE LIKE, LIKE IF YOU TALK TO PEOPLE JUST TO ASK THEM IF THEY'RE RESIDENTS, BECAUSE THAT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO KNOW.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT CHANGES ANYTHING.
IT'S JUST ANOTHER, ANOTHER DATA POINT.
SO MOVING ON TO VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES, AS
[00:25:01]
YOU ALL KNOW THAT THERE'S A GOOGLE DOC WITH THE VOLUNTEER, A LIST OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR BOTH OUR BOARD MEMBERS AND FOR, UH, OTHER VOLUNTEERS.SO, UM, BASICALLY IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING AS A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC AND YOU JUST HAVE TO LET US KNOW AT THE PARKING LOT DEPARTMENT AND WE'LL GET YOU AN INFORMATION AS TO WHAT THERE IS TO VOLUNTEER AND WHAT WE NEED, AND THEN, UM, WE'LL PUT YOU ON AND GET YOU ALL CONNECTED, UM, PARK BOARD MEMBERS, IF THERE'S ANYTHING, ANY EVENTS THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON, YOU ALWAYS KNOW THAT YOU CAN CONTACT ONE OF US ABOUT ANY OF THOSE, UM, EVENTS AND YOU SHOULD ALL HAVE THE LINK TO THE GOOGLE DRIVE.
UM, ALL OF YOU TO REQUEST THAT ALL OF YOU BE PRESENT FOR THE JAM AT BLACKROCK, WHICH IS ON APRIL 24TH.
AND CURRENTLY I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP ON THE LIST OR, UM, FOR A LOT, REALLY.
UM, SO PART OF BEING ON THE BOARD IS SERVICE, AS LYNN MENTIONED EARLIER, THAT IS IN THE ORDINANCE.
SO WE WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF YOU GUYS WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP US WITH SOME THAT, AND SUE DID MAKE A COMMENT LIKE WHEN SHE EXPECTS LIKE ALL BOARD MEMBERS TO BE THERE ON THE, ON THE SPREADSHEET.
AND I NOTICED, UM, WE ALWAYS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS
I WAS LIKE I SAID THAT CONFIDENTLY.
THAT'S ONE THAT SAYS ALL PARK BOARD MEMBERS AND THEN THERE'S OTHER ONES THAT ALL WELCOME, BUT SHE LISTS HOW MANY PEOPLE SHE NEEDS.
AND THE REASON THE JANET BLACKROCK IS ALL PARK BOARD MEMBERS IS BECAUSE THAT IS A PARK BOARD EVENT.
SO, AND YOU GUYS HAVE, UM, WORKED REALLY HARD ON THAT EVENT AND IT WOULD BE REALLY AWESOME TO SEE ALL OF YOU THERE.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY GREAT EVENT.
UM, AND ON YOUR WAY OUT, YOU KNOW,
LIKE HE, WE WERE JUST, I MEAN, YOU CAN'T TELL BECAUSE OF WEATHER THE WEATHER, BUT LIKE, YEAH.
YOU GUYS HAVE WORKED REALLY HARD ON PLANNING AND ESPECIALLY TAYLOR, SO YEAH.
I MEAN, BECAUSE I THINK WHEN IT'S THE FIRST TIME YOU'RE DOING IT, THEN WE'LL, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT LIKE, YOU KNOW, ANNUALLY DOING THIS AND JUST KIND OF, YOU KNOW, SEEING WHERE WE CAN GROW IT OR YOU KNOW, WHAT IS NEEDED.
AND SO, YEAH, THAT'S BEEN, IT'S BEEN FUN.
I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT SKATEBOARDING.
I STILL DON'T BUT TOTALLY WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THOUGHT WAS AWESOME JUST TO SHARE WITH, UM, WITH EVERYBODY, BUT MORE ARCHIES HAS BEEN TAKING VIDEOS OR PICTURES SINCE HE WAS LIKE, UH, LIKE A LITTLE KID COME INTO, YOU KNOW, UH, BASICALLY OPEN, JUST OPEN AND THE, AND WHEN THEY WERE BUILDING THAT SKATE PARK.
SO HE'S GONNA PUT TOGETHER A VIDEO FROM THAT POINT, LIKE THE, HIS, TO HAVING THE HISTORY TO WHERE WE ARE IN HAVING OUR FIRST ANNUAL EVENT.
SO THAT'LL BE COOL TO SAY, YEAH, HE'S HE SEEMED PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
I THINK YEAH, BUT I, YOU KNOW, EVEN LIKE DOWN, JUST DOWN THE ROAD, THAT WOULD BE A FUN THING TO, YEAH.
HONESTLY, HE'S BEEN REALLY, REALLY FUN TO WORK WITH.
SO ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE JAM? NO.
LET'S MOVE ON TO THE COMMUNITY CENTERED.
SO THE HOURS FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER ARE GOING TO CHANGE
[00:30:01]
STARTING IN, UM, EITHER IN MAY OR JUNE IT'S I DIDN'T SEE IT ON HERE.SO IT WOULD BE THE FIRST WEEK.
WELL IT'S SO THE FRIDAYS IS THE ONLY DAY THAT'S CHANGING.
SO IT'S GOING TO MOVE FROM WHAT, UH, FROM 8:00 AM, INSTEAD OF CLOSING AT 8:00 PM, IT'S GOING TO CLOSE AT FOUR, JUST BECAUSE OF THE SUMMER.
WE DON'T SEE A LOT OF USAGE, ESPECIALLY ON FRIDAYS.
CAUSE PEOPLE DO A LOT OF THINGS ON THE WEEKEND.
THEY'RE MORE, UH, PROBABLY TEMPTED TO GO OUTSIDE RATHER THAN STAYING INSIDE AND WORK OUT.
SO WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE IT EARLY AND SEE HOW THAT GOES.
BUT IT'LL ONLY BE UNTIL AUGUST, ONCE, SUMMER IS OVER, WE WILL SWITCH IT BACK TO THE 8:00 PM CLOSED TIME ON FRIDAYS.
AND WE'LL STILL HAVE THOSE SATURDAY HOURS AS WELL.
SO WHATEVER THAT FIRST FRIDAY IS ENGINEERING, THAT WILL BE THE FIRST DAY THAT IT WILL CLOSE HER.
AND THEN THE BEGINNING OF ALL THIS, OR THE END OF ALL THIS, UH, THROUGH, THROUGH THE END OF AUGUST.
AND THEN WE'D HAVE THESE CLUB.
SO KIDS CLUB, IF YOU DON'T KNOW, IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PARENTS TO, IT'S KIND OF A REPLACEMENT FOR KID'S CORNER, WHICH WAS THE BABYSITTING SERVICE THAT WE WERE OFFERING FOR PARENTS WHILE THEY WERE WORKING OUT.
INSTEAD WE CHANGED IT TO ACTUAL PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE PLANNED TUESDAYS THROUGH THURSDAYS BECAUSE WE WEREN'T SEEING, AS WE WERE SEEING HARDLY ANY PEOPLE ON MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS.
SO WE WERE TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE TUESDAYS TO THURSDAYS TIME PERIOD FROM FOUR TO SIX.
SO THERE'S USUALLY TWO TIME SLOTS AND THE SUBJECTS VARY.
SO IT COULD BE SOMETHING LIKE ROCKWALL.
IT COULD BE, UM, YARD GAMES, CRAFTS, SCIENCE LAB, AND ALL OF THOSE ARE ON THE WEBSITE TOO.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN LOOK INTO THAT ON THE WEBSITE.
UM, IT IS $5 FOR NONMEMBERS AND IT'S FREE FOR MEMBERS.
SO IT'S AN INCENTIVE FOR THE MEMBERS TO UTILIZE AND THE PARENTS DO NOT HAVE TO STAY ON PROPERTY, SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY DROP YOUR KID OFF AND LEAVE IF PEOPLE LIKE.
UM, BUT THE KIDS HAVE BEEN REALLY LIKING IT.
UH, CERTAIN SUBJECTS HAVE BEEN FAVORITE, FAVORITE TIP MORE THAN OTHERS.
BUT, UM, FOR THE MOST PART IT'S BEEN PRETTY WELL RECEIVED.
SO WE'RE STARTING, UM, TONIGHT IS NOT KID'S CLUB, EVEN THOUGH TECHNICALLY IT IS A KID'S CLUB NIGHTS, BUT IT IS A, WE'RE DOING A TANGLE THEME NIGHTS.
SO MELISSA IS AT THE CENTER DOING THAT RIGHT NOW.
AND THAT'S THE DROP-OFF EVENT FOR PARENTS, TWO HOURS OF BABYSITTING, ESSENTIALLY WITH A TANGLED THEME.
SO, UM, YEAH, HOPEFULLY THEY'RE HAVING LOTS OF FUN TOO.
I THINK THE WEBSITE IS LOOKING LIKE SO MUCH MORE USER-FRIENDLY OH, OUR WEBSITE OR THE TOWNSHIP WEBSITE ARE AWESOME.
YOU DEFINITELY SEEING THE TABS.
IT'S DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN LIKE, UH, YOU KNOW, A THING, BECAUSE I SAY THAT THAT WAS LIKE THE BEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD FROM ME.
AND I KNOW, I, I KNOW THAT TOO SAYS LIKE, OH GOD, GLENN'S GOING TO LOOK AT THIS.
I MEAN, I'M NOT, I CAN HURT US A LOT OF LIKE WHEN I WAS AT THE REC CENTER AND EVEN THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WOULD MAKE COMMENTS THAT IT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE THE BEST KEPT SECRET.
NOBODY KNOWS ALL THE COOL THINGS WE DO.
SO I THINK THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE WEBSITE WE'LL TRACK IS, IS, AND IT'S, IT'S BEEN, I'LL TELL HER, I'LL TELL HER NEXT TIME.
COULD YOU PUT THAT IN BOLD ON THE, UM, SHOULD WE HIGHLIGHT THAT IN LIKE HIGHLIGHTED, NOT JUST APPROVES? I THINK IT'S VERY, YES, NO, WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO DO MORE OF THAT.
UM, FOR THE BIGGER THINGS LIKE KID'S CLUB AND SUMMER CAMPS, WE'RE TRYING TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE MORE IN THOSE INFORMATIONAL TABS.
SO WE'RE ABLE TO, THAT IS A NEW FEATURE ON MY REC THAT WE'RE ABLE TO JUST DO INFORMATIONAL PAGES.
SO I HAVE TO TELL YOU GUYS THAT YOU'LL GET A KICK WHEN I WAS LEAVING.
MY HUSBAND SAID, WELL, IT SHOULD BE QUICK.
AND I WENT SUSAN BECAUSE THEY'RE ORGANIZED.
[00:35:01]
WE APPRECIATE IT.SO, UH, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT FACEBOOK? BASICALLY, WE'RE GOING TO MONITOR THE NUMBERS WITH KIDS CLUB AND SEE, AS IT PROGRESSES TO SEE IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT AND IT'S WORTH OUR WHILE, OR IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE IT UP AGAIN, BUT WE THINK IT'S FOR NOW, IT'S WORKING PRETTY WELL.
SO WHAT ARE THE AGES FOR KIDS CLUB? IT IS FIVE TO 10.
SO IF WE WEREN'T GETTING A WHOLE LOT OF, UH, LITTLES AT THAT, SO WE DECIDED TO UP THE AGE TO FIVE, UM, SO IT IS DRY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PRE-REGISTER, BUT IT IS MORE HELPFUL WITH PEOPLE.
PREREGISTER JUST BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE DOING A CRAFT, LIKE, UM, I THINK TONIGHT WAS A COOKIE DECORATING.
SO FOR THAT KIND OF THING, IT'S NICE TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING.
TUESDAYS, WEDNESDAYS AND THURSDAYS EVERY WEEK.
UM, UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND SOME, WE ARE TRYING THIS MONTH TO DO SOME SPECIALTY NIGHTS WHERE WE HAVE SOMETHING MAYBE FOR ALL AGES, JUST TO SEE IF THAT IS WELL RECEIVED AND SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE PUBLIC DOES WANT.
SO WE'LL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THAT KIND OF STUFF FOR, I'VE NOT BEEN TO THE WEBSITE, BUT DOES IT SAY UNDER FITS CLUB, THE TAB FOR THE KIDS OF TELL WHAT YOU'RE DOING? YEAH.
SO WE HAVE IT, WE HAVE IT SCHEDULED OUT SO THEY CAN SEE FOR THE MONTH WHAT EACH EVENT IS FOR KID'S CLUB AND IT'S ON THE, THE ELECTRONIC BOARD TOO.
I'VE SEEN, I THINK, YEAH, IT WAS, IT WAS OUT HERE.
IT'S NOT CURRENTLY UP THERE RIGHT NOW, BUT IT WILL BE BACK UP AGAIN.
I TRY NOT TO REPLAY TOO MUCH OF THE SAME STUFF BECAUSE THEN PEOPLE TEND NOT TO LOOK AT IT.
SO I TRY TO SWITCH IT UP EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT YEAH.
UM, IT IS A GOOD, GOOD OPTION TO HAVE, AND THEN ANY, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE MAKO LIBRARY.
SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, THE MAKO LIBRARY HAS, UH, WE'VE KIND OF FORMED A PRETTY GOOD PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM.
AND I FEEL LIKE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE IN THE MEETINGS, BUT, UM, WE ARE PARTNERING WITH THE MAKO LIBRARY, SPECIFICALLY THE TOWN BRANCH BECAUSE THEY OVERSEE ALL OF THE BRANCHES IN OUR AREA.
SO THEY OVERSEE FOR OUR SPORT AND, UM, I BELIEVE SHANKSVILLE AND THEN MAYBE ONE OTHER ONE, BUT WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM.
THEY SEND A LIBRARIAN OVER WHO DOES STORYTIME CURRENTLY EVERY MONDAY AND FRIDAY AT 10:00 AM.
AND THAT HAS BEEN PRETTY WELL, UH, ATTENDED.
SO WE'VE HAD UPWARDS TO 10 KIDS AT A TIME, WHICH, WHICH IS A PRETTY GOOD NUMBER FOR US IN THAT, IN THAT SPACE.
AND THEY'RE ABLE TO, UM, TAKE BOOKS OUT OF THE LIBRARY SO THEY CAN SIGN UP FOR A LIBRARY CARD THERE, THEY CAN GET BOOKS.
UM, THEY BRING A NEW SELECTION OF BOOKS EACH TIME THEY COME AND THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, USUALLY PRETTY POPULAR KIDS' BOOKS AND THE KIDS LOVE TO PICK OUT THEIR BOOKS AFTER THEY DO THE STORY TIME AND GET TO TAKE THEM HOME AND READ THEM AT HOME WITH MOM.
SO, UM, IT'S BEEN, DO YOU, DO YOU NOT CONSUME MENTIONED THAT, THAT THERE WOULD BE A PERSON STAFFING THERE FOR ADULTS TO, TO GET TO TAKE BOOKS OUT AND TO GET THEIR LIBRARY CARD IS DUE TO THIS THAT IS TIMING THERE THAT IS COMING.
AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A MEETING WITH THEM TO DISCUSS ALL OF THE DETAILS ABOUT THAT COMING UP.
UH, WE HAVEN'T PINPOINTED EVERYTHING YET, BUT WE ARE, UM, WORKING TOWARDS THAT GOAL.
AND IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T GO TO THE LIBRARY, YOU KNOW, IT'S AT THE COMMUNITY.
SO THEY'LL BRING IN, LOOK THROUGH THERE.
SO WE HAVE TWO CARTS AT THE, AT THE, UM, AT THE CENTER RIGHT NOW AND EVENTUALLY WHAT THEY WILL DO, THEY BRING A PORTABLE SCANNER SO THAT THEY CAN SCAN OUT ALL THE BOOKS AND THEN THEY'LL SCAN YOUR LIBRARY CARD.
THEY HAVE A COMPUTER THAT THEY BRING AND THEY DO THE WHOLE, SHE CALLS IT A TWIG BECAUSE WE'RE NOT QUITE A BRAND.
AND THEN IF WE GET A LIBRARY CARD, IF THE COMMUNITY GETS A LIBRARY CARD, THEN THEY ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO IT.
SO THEY USE A PROGRAM CALLED LIBBY, WHICH IS ALSO KNOWN AS OVERDRIVE AND IT'S AN AUDIO BOOK E-BOOK KIND OF HUB.
SO ONCE YOU HAVE THAT LIBRARY CARD AND YOU CAN UTILIZE ANY BOOK, UM, YEAH.
IN THE SYSTEM FROM THAT LIBRARY, BUT YOU CAN ALSO ADD OTHER LIBRARY CARDS.
SO LIKE THE PHILADELPHIA LIBRARY HAS FREE LIBRARY CARDS, EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN PHILADELPHIA AND GET ONE FOR FREE.
SO YOU CAN ADD THAT AS AN EXTRA OPTION.
SOMETIMES THEY HAVE MORE SELECTION, BUT IT JUST DEPENDS.
DOES IT HELP WAIT THE, WELL, WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING THIS JUST TO, UM, WE'VE ALWAYS HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LIBRARY AND WE FEEL THAT IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO BRING MORE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY.
SO WE, EVERY SUMMER WE ACTUALLY DO THE VERSE BOARD SUMMER, UH, SUMMER READING KICK OFF CONCERT.
SO WE ARE DOING THAT AGAIN THIS YEAR WITH,
[00:40:01]
UM, HAM, BUT THEY ARE RUNNING THEIR CENTER AND WE'RE NOT TRYING TO TAKE PEOPLE FROM THE WORST BIRD LIBRARY.WE'RE JUST TRYING TO PROVIDE ANOTHER SPOT SO PEOPLE CAN DROP OFF A BOOK.
IT'S BASICALLY THINK OF IT AS LIKE A BOOKMOBILE LOCATION, BUT WITH LIKE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN A BOOKMOBILE.
SO, UH, IS THERE SOMETHING CAUSE LIKE, UM, WHEN I WAS IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER, I JUST, UH, WAS TALKING TO THE PERSON BEHIND THE DESK AND I SAID, OH, YOU KNOW, I HEAR THEM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A MANCHOW BRANCH HERE.
SHE HAD LIKE, NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
SO MAYBE LIKE THE STAFF AT LEAST TO KNOW, OR MAYBE SOMETHING, UM, IT WAS COMING, BUT THEY'RE WAITING FOR MORE INFORMATION FROM US BEFORE THEY START, YOU KNOW, SPREADING THE WORD THAT IT'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN JUST THAT.
UM, JUST SO THAT THEY HAVE THE CORRECT INFORMATION.
IF THE LIBRARIANS ARE THERE DOING STORY TIME, WHETHER YOU'RE AN ADULT OR A CHILD, YOU CAN GET A LIBRARY CARD AND IT'S THE SAME THING AS THE BOOKMOBILE, LIKE ON THE BOOKMOBILE YOU COULD GET, I ACTUALLY GOT MY LIBRARY CARD.
SO, UM, ONCE THEY HAVE A MEANING, WE'LL KNOW LIKE TIMEFRAMES THAT, SO THAT'LL BE ON OUR WEBSITE.
AND I ACTUALLY ALREADY HAVE THE SIGN MADE.
SO I MADE A SIGN FOR THE CENTER THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW, LIBRARY, THE LIBRARY IS, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LIKE A VELCRO THING.
SO WE CAN TAKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE OPEN OR CLOVER OF CLOTHES.
AND THEN WE'LL ALSO HAVE A SIGN THAT SAYS LIBRARY HOURS.
AND IT HAS MONDAY THROUGH THE DAYS THAT WE'RE OPEN AND THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO WRITE IT IN LIKE A, UM, LIKE AN EXPO MARKER TO BE KIND OF IN THE SILO OR IT'LL BE IN THE LOBBY AREA.
IT'LL BE IN THE, PROBABLY NEAR THE SILO JUST BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE.
THE HUB OF EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE UP THERE.
BUT FOR RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE IT UP BECAUSE THEY'RE ONLY COMING FOR STORAGE, BUT WE'RE JUST NOT, WE'RE NOT THERE YET, BUT THEY ARE DOING CRAFTS ALONG WITH THE STORY TIME.
SO THEY DO DO A LOT OF PREP WORK, WHICH IS INCLUDED IN OUR 20 HOURS OF WHAT WE'RE ALLOTTED.
SO IT'S JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THAT BALANCE OF WHAT DO PEOPLE WANT VERSUS WILL THEY COME TO, YOU KNOW, CHECK OUT THE BOOKS OR DO WE DO MORE PROGRAMMING TYPE THINGS? LIKE, DO WE HAVE A BOOK CLUB OR DO WE HAVE A KID'S BOOK CLUB AND ADULT BOOK CLUB? AND THEN WE HAVE STORY TIMES AND YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY DO SOME OTHER THINGS.
SO IT'S JUST, IT'S A MATTER OF PLANNING WITH THE LIBRARY.
AND I BELIEVE THEY WERE WAITING TO SEE IF THEIR BOOKMOBILE WAS GOING TO BE IN SERVICE BECAUSE THE LIBRARIAN THAT WE USE IS ACTUALLY WAS ACTUALLY HIRED TO DO ONE OF THE BOOKMOBILES.
SO BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF SERVICE, SHE, UM, IS CURRENTLY WITH US.
SO UNTIL IT, BUT IT'S LOOKING LIKE SHE'S PROBABLY GOING TO STAY WITH US FOR A LITTLE WHILE, SO WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE SOME MORE CONCRETE PLANS.
I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF YOUR GOAL TO EXTEND IT, TO SAY LIKE A SATURDAY.
JUST BECAUSE THERE MIGHT BE SOME PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.
I THINK WE JUST STARTED OUT WITH MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS BECAUSE THAT WAS KIND OF JUST THE DAYS THAT OTHER LIBRARIES WEREN'T DOING THINGS.
AND LIKE I SAID, WE DON'T WANT TO STEP ON BROADER SPORTS TOES BECAUSE WE'RE NOT TRYING TO TAKE PEOPLE AWAY FROM THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE A GREAT SERVICE AND THEY DO PROVIDE THE PUBLIC WITH A LOT OF THINGS.
SO THIS IS NOT TO TAKE AWAY FROM THEM IN ANY MEANS.
UM, BUT THAT IS A GREAT POINT.
AND WE ARE, WE ARE LOOKING TOWARDS THAT AND LIKE SOME NIGHTTIME THINGS WENT.
ARE YOU READY? I'M READY FOR THE STATS.
DO YOU WANT TO TYPE THEM? YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
SO FOR FINANCES, FOR PROGRAMS, WE HAD 392 TOTAL PROGRAMS AND WE'RE AT $19,174 ON THOSE.
AND THEN MEMBERSHIPS, WE GAINED 75, SO THAT'S $550 AND THEN PRODUCTS BEING ANY TYPE OF SALES, 160 AND THAT'S $943 AND 50 CENTS RESERVATIONS.
THAT BEING RENTALS OF THE, UH, I'M NOT SURE IF THAT INCLUDES BOTH THE CENTER AND FIELD RENTALS, BUT WE ARE AT 37 AND THAT IS $5,380 BRINGING THAT TO A TOTAL OF 664 ITEMS
[00:45:01]
AND A TOTAL OF $26,052 AND 50 CENTS AND MONEY THAT WE BROUGHT IN.DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY MEMBERS, I MEAN, WE ADDED 50, WHATEVER 75, LIKE HOW MANY MEMBERS THAT WE AT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, OFFHAND I CAN POSSIBLY FIND OUT.
UM, COMMUNITY CENTER USAGE, THE NEXT SECTION.
UM, SO WE'VE HAD 108 OR SORRY, 1,892 TOTAL SCANNINGS, I BELIEVE.
AND THEN THE MEMBERSHIPS WERE AT 993.
UM, MAYBE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? THOSE ARE PAID MEMBERS OR, YEAH.
WELL, IT ALSO INCLUDES, UM, COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
SO IF THEY'RE A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY, YOU CAN GET COMMUNITY PASS.
SO YEAH, THAT'S, THAT'S INCLUDING BOTH.
SO IT COULD BE RESIDENTS COULD BE PAID MEMBERSHIPS.
UM, AND YEAH, IN THAT SENSE, YES.
I THINK, I THINK THAT'S NEW SIGNUPS FOR THIS MONTH, I THINK.
AND THAT, AND SO WE ACTUALLY, WE HAD A COUPLE OF INSTANCES WHERE WE HAD SOME RENTALS AND, UM, ACTUALLY IT WASN'T A RENTAL, IT WAS A PARENT WHO WANTED TO PLAY BASKETBALL.
LIKE THEIR KIDS WANTED TO PLAY BASKETBALL.
SO THEY GOT THEIR WHOLE TEAM TO COME IN AND THEY FOUND OUT IF THEY WERE MEMBERS, THEY COULD USE THE OPEN GYM TIME TO LIKE PLAY AROUND WITH EACH OTHER.
SO THEY ENDED UP ALL SIGNING UP THEIR PARENTS, THEIR KIDS FOR THE COMMUNITY PASS MEMBERSHIP.
SO THAT WAS ACTUALLY A LOT OF IT'S A LOT FOR THAT.
SO THAT WAS A LOT OF WELL, AND THEN THE PITS OF ALL PEOPLE TO HAVE BEEN SIGNING UP FOR MEMBERSHIPS OR COMMUNITY PASS MEMBERSHIPS, CAUSE PICK THE BALLS, LIKE SUPER PUMPED.
WE PLAY THREE TIMES A WEEK HERE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND WE'VE HAD, IN SOME CASES ON THE WEDNESDAY, WE'LL HAVE 20 PEOPLE THAT COME AND THAT HAS GROWN.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT AT OTHER MEETINGS.
LIKE THAT'S LIKE DOUBLED IN THE LAST AND THEY'RE REALLY, REALLY NICE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE REALLY HAVE A LOT.
WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE REPEAT THAT COME AND THEY JUST ADDED THE MONDAYS.
IT'S ALL LEVELS OF PLAY AND THEY JUST ADDED MONDAYS.
SO IT WAS JUST WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY.
SO THEN HOW DO YOU, UM, IF THERE'S THAT MANY PEOPLE AND THERE'S AT ONE WHATEVER DAY, I THINK DURING THE DAY THERE'S TWO WORDS, THE TWO COURTS.
SO WHAT YOU DO IS YOU LINE UP YOUR PADDLES, UM, AND YEAH, YOU LINE UP THE PADDLES.
PEOPLE WHO ARE PLAYING, THERE'S FOUR PEOPLE PLAYING THE TWO THAT WIN TEAM THAT WINS.
SO YOU BRING TWO MORE PEOPLE IN, BUT THEY ONLY GET TO STAY FOR TWO, TWO GAMES.
THEY CAN'T WIN MORE THAN TWO GAMES AT THE TIME.
AND THEN WHEN THEY WON THEIR TWO GAMES, THEY GO BACK IN THE LINE.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S SO IT'S ORGANIZED AND IT'S FUN.
AND THERE'S NOBODY THAT TAKES CHARGE NECESSARILY, BUT IT'S BEEN SO POPULAR.
WELL WE'VE MOST PEOPLE GO TO SKIP BACK.
WE PLAY THERE ON SUNDAYS BECAUSE THERE'S NO INSIDE.
CAUSE THERE'S NO INDOOR HERE ON THE WEEKENDS.
WE USUALLY GO TO SKIP BACK TO PLAY OUTSIDE.
IT SEEMS TO BE A WIND TUNNEL ALSO.
AND YOU HAVE TO BRING SOMEBODY ELSE.
AND I'LL BE HONEST BECAUSE I WANT TO START PLAYING.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE AND I HAVEN'T STARTED YET, BUT WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND YOU SEE ALL THESE LINES MIXED IN WITH THE BASKETBALL AND THE BASKET, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BASKETBALL COURTS, YOU CANNOT PLAY ON THOSE AT ALL BECAUSE THE BALL IS A WIFFLE BALL AND THAT SURFACE OF THE BASKETBALL COURT, YOU CANNOT PLAY THERE.
WE'VE GONE TO THE TENNIS COURT AND PLAYED ON THE TENNIS COURT THAT MAKES YOU RIGHT.
AND YOU MADE MAKESHIFT ON THE BASKETBALL COURT.
ARE THERE PLANS FOR OUTDOOR? YES.
IN ALL FAIRNESS, IT'S ON THE, UM, THE MASTER PLAN.
SO IT'S IN THE, THE OVERALL PLAN.
[00:50:01]
IT'S GOING TO BE AT MCFARLAND.THAT'S WHERE THE BASEBALL IS, RIGHT? YEAH.
BUT IT'S NOT IN, UM, LIKE THAT'S A FIVE-YEAR PLAN, SO IT'S NOT IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR.
UM, SO I'M NOT SURE LIKE WHAT LEVEL OF PRIORITY, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU GIVE SOME COMMENTS.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE STARTING TO TALK ABOUT IN THIS, IN THIS BOARD IS THAT IT IS BECOMING SUPER POPULAR AND I'VE TALKED TO THE Y AND THEY'RE VERY AWARE OF THE FACT THAT IT'S SUPER POPULAR THERE TOO, BUT IT'S, IT'S WAY MORE, IT'S COMPETITIVE AND IT'S NOT AN OPEN AND IT'S NOT A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LEARN.
SO THERE IS A NICHE THAT WE COULD HELP WITH THAT.
AND THEN WE'VE EVEN TALKED ABOUT MAYBE HAVING SOMEBODY WHO, WHO COMES AND DOES LIKE A BEGINNER CLASS.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING IN UPPER MARION.
WE TAKE A CLASS DOWN THERE AND IT'S SEVEN WEEKS AND WORK.
BECAUSE WHEN I SAY WE, MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH PLAY, UM, BECAUSE THERE'S NO, UM, WE'RE NOT MEMBERS.
AND EVEN IF WE WERE A MEMBERS, IT'S LIKE 110, SO YEAH.
LIKE I, I THINK IT, LIKE, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT.
I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CERTAINLY DO.
I KNOW THERE'S ONLY ONE NIGHT, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
IT'S ONLY FOR AN HOUR AND IT'S ONLY ONE COURT.
SO I'VE GONE ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THERE WAS BEEN LIKE FIVE PEOPLE, BUT THERE'S NO BIG INCENTIVE TO GO AND THEY'RE NOT PLANNING ON, I MEAN, THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT IT, THE WHY, BUT THEY'RE LIKE, WHEN I TALKED TO THEM, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE LIKE, YEAH, WE'RE AWARE THAT THAT'S A SITUATION, BUT YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT WE HAVE NOTHING, ALTHOUGH THEY JUST HAD LIKE A BIG PICKLE BALL TOURNAMENT.
SO IT'S A GOOD FINANCIAL INST UM, OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT IT GROWING AND IT'S VERY POPULAR.
IT'S LIKE ALL OF MY SORORITY TO PLAY
AND IF YOU, THE SENIOR POPULATION IS CERTAINLY GROWING ALL THE BABY BOOMERS, RURAL, LIKE, YEAH.
THAT'S WHY WE NEED THE
SO I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANY MORE TIME, BUT AVAILABLE FOR THAT'S AWESOME.
AND THAT IS SOMETHING TOO THAT IF YOU DO HAVE FRIENDS AND, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT IN THE TOWNSHIP, IT'S ALWAYS REALLY GOOD TO EITHER SEND AN EMAIL OR COME TO THE MEETINGS AND VOICE THAT.
BECAUSE IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT THE PUBLIC WANTS THE BEST WAY TO GET IT IS TO VOICE THAT IN A MEETING OR WHY WE GOT ADDITIONAL TIME.
AND ALSO, AND MONDAY WAS ADDED AND WE WERE, THERE'S A GROUP OF US THAT WERE VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN THAT, MAKING SURE WE OKAY.
AND YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST WAY TO GET THERE.
CAUSE YOU KNOW, I CAN SAY THAT ALL DAY, BUT I DON'T PLAY PICKLEBALL.
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU KNOW, COMING FROM THE PUBLIC THAT'S WHO WE'RE SERVING.
THE WHISTLE BALL HITS A ROCK OR THIS, YOU KNOW, THE SURFACE ISN'T FLAT.
ARE WE
SO A YEAR NOW THE NUMBERS FLUCTUATE BASED ON WHETHER IT'S OUT IN THE WORKPLACE, REALLY.
THERE WERE ONLY 4, 8, 9 PEOPLE TODAY.
CAUSE IT WAS NICE BECAUSE IT WAS NICE OUTSIDE, BUT IT'S AIR CONDITIONED.
FAM AND THE DOOR WAS OPEN AND THERE'S MUSIC AND IT WAS GREAT.
NOW IF PEOPLE, UM, PEOPLE COME WHO AREN'T NEW, IS THERE SOMEBODY THERE THAT KIND OF HELPS OUT OR IS IT LIKE, I'M AFRAID IF WE'RE GONNA, IT'S GOING TO BECOME LIKE WHY, WHERE WE PLAYED TODAY.
AND WE PLAYED TODAY WITH ONE WOMAN WHO IS FAIRLY NEW AND SHE COMES EVERY WEEK.
SO YOU GET A CHANCE TO HELP HER.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT COMPETITIVE, LIKE WE'RE NOT GOING TO HELP YOU TO LEARN.
BUT THAT'S WHAT I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO DO THE BEGINNER CLASS.
AND THEN PEOPLE CAN KIND OF FILTER IN THERE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS UP THE PLAY.
THERE'S A HUGE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT PLAY AT WHITE SPRINGS.
AND ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT'S THERE IS AN INSTRUCTOR.
IS THAT IN NO WHITE SPRINGS IS BEHIND IT'S BEHIND WEGMANS.
[00:55:01]
KNOW THE PERSON'S NAME? BECAUSE THAT'S ONE THING WE WERE SAYING, WE'RE LOOKING FOR AN INDUSTRY.WELL, SO WE CAN, I CAN FIND OUT, CAUSE I KNOW HIS WIFE, BUT I DON'T KNOW HIM PER SE, BUT DO YOU HAVE YOUR CLIENT? YOU CAN GET ONE BEFORE AND THEN IF YOU COULD FIND OUT, THEN IF YOU COULD EMAIL SARAH, THAT WOULD BE GOOD.
AND THEY COME OVER ALL THE TIME BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT PICKLEBALL COURTS AT WHITE SPRINGS.
THEY DO IT AT, UM, WHAT'S THE ONE ON EGYPT ROAD.
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE THAT HAS NO THE ONE RIGHT ON EGYPT ROAD AND THE TOWNSHIP RIGHT BY THE NEW ONE.
PROVIDENCE REGENCY, REGENCY, REGENCY.
CAUSE THEY WOULD ALWAYS COME DURING THE WINTER AND PLAY INDOORS.
AND THEN THEY WERE LIKE, OH, WELL OUR OUTDOOR COURTS OPEN NOW, SO WE'RE GOING TO PLAY OUTSIDE.
BUT NOW WE HAVE A BIGGER GROUP OF PEOPLE.
SO WE'RE NOT REALLY DEPENDENT ON THEM AS MUCH.
UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STATS? I SHOULDN'T THE 26,000.
IS THAT JUST ONE MONTH? WHAT IS THAT TO DATE? THAT'S ONE MONTH.
I BELIEVE THAT'S ONE MONTH BECAUSE IT INCLUDES ALL OF THE PROGRAMS AND I COULD BE WRONG ON THAT.
NO IT'S ONE MONTH, BECAUSE LAST MONTH IT WAS LIKE 85,000 BECAUSE IT WAS, I DO REMEMBER THAT.
I LIKE TO FIELD STATUSES OBVIOUSLY IT'S THAT? EVERYTHING IS, UM, OUR OPEN SPACES TODAY ARE YESTERDAY AND THERE ARE SPOTS THAT ARE RED.
SO THAT'S KIND OF
UM, AS FOR LIKE OF ALL FIELDS, WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING VERY BUSY HOURS, STAY AT HOME, UM, WITH PLAYGROUND GOALS STARTING WITH THIS WEEK, ACTUALLY WE'LL START BREAKING GROUND.
UM, THAT'S THE NEXT SLIDE IT'S HAPPENING? UM, WE'RE STILL WORKING ON A NEED FOR IT.
IT'S NOT GOING TO, UM, WE ALSO DO TOO, BUT THAT'S GOING TO BE MORE OFFICIALLY.
I LIKE HAVING THE BOARD, SHOWING WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
UM, AND THEN, UH, RESIDENT SHEET.
CAUSE YOU MENTIONED LETTER ATTACKS.
WHEN ARE WE REPLACING THE PLAYER THAT'S MISSING? THAT'S PRETTY, PRETTY OLD.
AND NOW IT'S JUST BROKE, REDUCED DOWN THERE AND READY TO START NEXT WEEK.
UM, SO THE TRUCKS ARE STARTING TO GET DELIVERED YOUR FIRST.
OH
[01:00:01]
UM, WE HAVE THE ENCLOSED TRAILER AND BOWLS.THAT'S HOW MUCH THE BINDER IS.
LIKE, IT'S LIKE A THREE INCH BINDER AND IT'S GOT, IT'S LIKE THE IKEA MANUAL OF
SO TALK ABOUT THE LANES BECAUSE THE HEART IS CONSTANTLY HERE AND WE'RE EXPECTING THE TROUBLE THEY'RE COMING OUT TOMORROW ACTUALLY TO STATE AND EVERYTHING.
WE ALREADY STOPPED ALLISON STONE
UM, YEAH, BUT THE PRICE ON FOREPLAY, IT'S WHAT WE HAVE AT ANDERSON.
UM, IT'S THE OWNER IS BECAUSE OF THE CHEMICALS
I FEEL IT'S MORE OVER SOCIAL GOALS.
UM, SO SUE IS SAYING LIKE, I'M SURE IT MAY CHANGE, BUT THAT THE GOAL WAS TO HAVE IT DONE BY LIKE MID JUNE.
IS THAT STILL, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THE RIBBON CUTTING IS THAT ONE THE WEEKEND BEFORE.
UM, WE HAVE A LOT OF BUILT IN HOUSE WITH ALL MY GUYS.
UM, SO THERE'S JUST A SMALL GROUP COMING IN TO ASSIST, BUT TO SEE OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
THIS IS HOLDING, IT'S ALL A, IT'S ALL CERTIFIED, RIGHT? IT'S YOU HAVE TO GET CERTIFIED IN PLAYGROUND.
I PLAYGROUND SAFETY INSPECTORS.
I'M NOT GIVING IT TO THE COMMUNITY CAN DO TO HELP.
BECAUSE I HAVE A FEELING THAT PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO HELP IF THEY PUT LIKE A VOLUNTEER, THE VOLUNTEER KIND OF LIKE TOO MANY COOKS IN THE KITCHEN.
IT'S MORE, WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THIS WHOLE STREET AND GET $10 FOR THE WHOLE.
WELL, I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT NECESSARILY THAT PART OF IT, I MAY HAVE TOWARDS THE END WHERE YOU'RE JUST LIKE PUTTING DOWN SOD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
NO, BECAUSE WE'RE SO BUSY RECRUITING FROM THERE.
I KNOW OUR OTHER PLAYGROUNDS, THEY ASKED IF THEY COULD DO IT AGAIN, BUT WE COULD HAVE MORE PEOPLE THAN JUST THEM.
BECAUSE WE NEED TO REPLENISH THE OTHER PLAYGROUNDS SO WE CAN DEFINITELY DELIVER MULCH TO THE PLAYGROUND FOR SHORTENING.
AND THEN TOO, I FEEL LIKE THERE'S ALWAYS FROM MY EXPERIENCE WITH HELPING WITH THE SKATE PARK, I TRIED TO GO OUT THERE AND HELP AS MUCH AS I COULD, BUT OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT LIFTING, YOU KNOW, THE HEAVY STUFF, BUT I PICKED UP A LOT OF TRASH.
LIKE THERE, EVERYTHING IS SARAN WRAPPED AND THEN EVERY BOLT IS IN BAG.
SO LIKE IT JUST FLIES EVERYWHERE OR THEY DROP BOLTS.
SO, YOU KNOW, THERE MIGHT BE A DAY WHERE WE COULD BRING OUT THE PUBLIC KIND OF LIKE A SNEAK PREVIEW, BUT ALSO LIKE A TRASH CLEANUP TYPE OF THING WHERE WE COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND KIND OF GET THE PUBLIC MORE.
MAYBE THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT LIKE, CAUSE LIKE IF THERE'S, UM, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER JUNIORS OR WHERE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR TO FILL OUT THEIR VOLUNTEER SHEETS FOR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS, LIKE MAYBE SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD, WE COULD LIKE WORK WITH YOU ON MAYBE GETTING A GROUP OF KIDS TOGETHER TO HELP WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN IN THE WORKS? UH, YEAH.
WELL IT GOT DELAYED BECAUSE OF COCAINE.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR 2019 OR 2020 AND THEN RAILED IT.
WHEN DID WE FINISH THE LAST OF YOUR HEAD? IT'S BEEN AWHILE.
THIS IS, THIS IS WAY BIGGER THAN WHAT IT WAS PART OF
[01:05:01]
IT.BUT ALSO WE DECIDED TO CONSOLIDATE.
SO IN THE FUTURE THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE PLAYGROUND AT THIS PARK AND IT WILL BE THIS GIANT PLAYGROUND INSTEAD OF COME DOWN WHEN IT, WHEN IT LIVES ITS LIFE.
AND THAT POINT IT'S GONE, ITS LIFE CYCLE OF BEING USABLE.
BUT YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY COOL AND IT'S ALL ACCESSIBLE, SO THAT'S GREAT.
ALL INCLUSIVE AND THE PLAYGROUND IS THE MAIN ARTICLE IN THE NEWSLETTER, JUST SO YOU KNOW.
SO THAT IS THE FRONT PAGE OF THE NEWSLETTER IS CALLING IT THEN, UM, WE JUST CALLED IT THE ALL-INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND.
THAT'S MEGA PLAYGROUND GORGEOUS.
BUT WE USE THE
UH, HE REALLY CANNOT BELIEVE THAT JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, AND HE ACTUALLY CAME BY, THIS IS THE LARGEST ONE.
I THINK THE OTHER THING FOR US AS A COMMUNITY, IT'S OUR, OUR ONLY PARK THAT WILL OUR ONLY PLAYGROUND THAT WILL BE, UM, HANDICAPPED.
CAN YOU DO A CONTEST FOR THE NAMING WE COULD POSSIBLY DO THAT.
YOU HAVE THAT'S HOW TO FUN FOR THE RESIDENTS TO GET INVOLVED.
AND TOO, WHEN IT GETS CLOSER, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO SPREAD THE WORD.
SO LIKE IF YOU'RE OUT DOING PARK, WATCH, YOU KNOW, TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY AT THIS PART BECAUSE THE GOAL IS ONCE WE HAVE A SPECIFIC DATE AND I'M SURE THIS WILL HAPPEN CLOSER TO WHEN WE ACTUALLY ARE BUILDING IT AND EVERYTHING, BUT WE WANT TO HAVE AS MANY KIDS AT THE OPENING AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE JUST THINK IT'D BE REALLY COOL TO HAVE ALL THE KIDS.
OH, IT'S JUST A THOUSAND MORE THAN WHAT THEY'VE EVER DONE.
IT WAS A BIGGER THAN MAN DERECK.
IF YOU WERE TO TAKE A TAPE FOR SQUARE FOOTAGE.
I MEAN, I'M NOT GOING TO HOLD YOU TO THEM.
CAUSE IF YOU'RE OUT THERE TALKING TO PEOPLE AND SAY, HEY, DO YOU HEAR ABOUT OUR NEW ARGUMENTS THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF CLASS PASS? I SAID 26,000 SQUARE FEET OF FUN.
I'VE BEEN TELLING PEOPLE TO GO, JUST TO GO UP.
WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT THING? LIKE THE DIAGRAM, THE, THE, THE LAYOUT OR THE DIAGRAM OF THE PLAYGROUND.
AND WE WILL START DOING MORE POSTINGS ABOUT THAT AS THE BUILDS GO ON.
AND THAT'S NOT INCLUDING WHAT'S UP.
IT'S JUST THAT WHAT IT'S COVERING.
I THINK THEY'RE JUST ONE, JUST ONE, THE FUTURE DO IT AS ONE PROJECT BECAUSE ONCE YOU DO A REAL ACRE, SO ONCE YOU GO OVER THAT, SO THAT'S, I HAVE A TRACTOR TRAILER, RED TAPE.
WELL, SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO PHASES.
WHAT'S THE PLAY ON THE DOLPHIN.
THAT'S GOING TO BE WHERE WE PLAYED OUR LITTLE BIT FALSELY.
AND IT WAS REALLY COOL TO SEE, BECAUSE A LOT OF, I BELIEVE ONE PARENT EVEN COMMENTED WHO HAD A CHILD WHO WAS, HAS A WALKER, UM, AND POSTED A PICTURE OF HER CHILD.
AND SHE WAS LIKE, I'M SO EXCITED THAT THIS IS COMING TO OUR TOWNSHIP BECAUSE NOW MY CHILD CAN
[01:10:01]
LIKE, AND ALL OF HER FRIENDS CAN ALSO PLAY.SO WE'RE HOPING TO GET A LOT OF THAT COMMUNITY TO COME OUT.
AND IT'S NOT JUST ALL INCLUSIVE WITH HANDICAP CHILDREN, LIKE PHYSICALLY, IT'S ALSO SENSORY.
UM, AND YEAH, SO THERE'S A LOT OF ABILITY FOR LIKE AUTISTIC KIDS WHO HAVE SENSORY ISSUES.
THERE'S LIKE SPACES THAT THEY CAN GO FOR QUIET SPACES.
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WILL BE.
SO IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE, WHEN THEY THINK OF, YOU KNOW, HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE, IT'S ALWAYS WHEELCHAIRS, BUT IT IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
AND I THINK THAT THIS IS REALLY COOL THAT WE'RE ABLE TO, TO DO THIS.
IT'S A GOOD TIME FOR AMBER TO BE JOINING.
CAUSE THEN SHE COULD EVEN REACH OUT TO THE AREA OF SCHOOLS AND, YOU KNOW, YEAH.
WE'RE HOPING IT'S GONNA TALK TO THE ICU AT SOME POINT.
UM, SO TO SEE IF THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, CONSENTS AND LIKE LET THEIR PARENTS KNOW THAT WE HAVE THIS AVAILABLE IN THE COUNTY.
SIDE-BY-SIDE AND WE DIDN'T JUST
SO THE LAST ON THE SITUATION, UM, WHERE IT WORKS, BASICALLY, WHAT ARE THE SCARF? UM, BECAUSE THE COMPANY THAT WE HIRED A LITTLE BIT, THAT THEY DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH ANCHOR PROPERLY INTO THE GROUND.
SO I'M WORKING ON GETTING FOLKS TOGETHER.
WE'RE A CONCRETE FOOTER TO THE FLOOR AROUND THE WHOLE OUTSIDE OF THE EXISTING DECK ITSELF.
UM, SO THEY WOULD CUT UP THE PEANUTS AND THE NEW CURB CUTS IN THE FLUSH TO THE GROUND, BUT IT'S A FLOOR STICKING POLE.
SO WE SECURE RIGHT LAND AND OKAY.
THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT BECAUSE ANYONE WAS AWESOME, BUT IT WAS CRACK.
WE DIDN'T KNOW WHY IT WAS CRACKED INFERIOR JUST BECAUSE OF THE BEACH AND PLASTIC.
UM, SO WHEN YOU BELIEVE THE WHOLE SECURITY FENCE UP THERE.
SO OUR PLAN, THE PACK WAS TO COME IN AND CUDDLE, WEIGHTLIFTING RESISTANT HOLES AND COLONY NOTES COME OUT, OLDER ANIMAL.
UM, ONE OF THOSE ARE ANIMAL FREE LUNCH.
WE COME BACK FROM LUNCH AND ALL THE BLUE ONES, UM, THUS REVEALING THAT WHOLE REALM, ALMOST TWO INCHES, UM, WHILE IT WAS ALL, IT WAS 2010.
SO IT WAS CHEAPER TO DO IT THAT WAY.
WHEN DID THIS CALLS, THAT'S ALL YOURS, ALL THE, SO AT A TIME THEY MIGHT APOLOGIZE DO IT, BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER THINGS THE RIGHT WAY.
AND I FEEL HORRIBLE RIGHT NOW IT'S IN THE STATE.
UM, THIS IS
IT'S REAL, REAL GETS REALLY HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO FIX IT.
UM, WE'RE STILL, YEAH, WE'RE STILL INCURRING ALL OF THEM.
I WISH I WERE ALL ON THE TOP FROM A POLLS SHIFTING OVER THE YEARS, EVEN THE ONES THAT WERE SECURED IN THE GROUND, IT'S LIKE AERIAL POLE.
YOU HAVE ONE MORE, UM, WITH THE LINDEN ACTUALLY SHIFTED THE BLACKOUT.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE BLACKTOPS, ALL CRACKING AND SEPARATED.
[01:15:01]
CUT EVERYTHING OUT, PUT THAT CONCRETE, BORDERLINE SEX, ABSOLUTELY THE COCKY.AND THEN ALL THE OTHER WEEKS, IT'S LIKE A LITTLE STRIP RIGHT NOW.
IT'S LIKE A STRIP WITH THIS CUT UP TENDING TO HER YOU'RE IN THE HOUSE.
AND WITH THE AMOUNT THAT IT GETS USED, YOU KNOW, IT IS A REALLY IMPORTANT THING TO US TO FIX.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SEEN, WE'VE ALL SEEN THE USAGE THAT IT GETS AND IT'S DEFINITELY IMPORTANT WOULD HAVE FOLLOWED UP ON A BUNCH OF KIDS.
I MEAN, LUCKILY WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD CREW OF GUYS THAT CHECK UP ON OUR STUFF ALL THE TIME.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL.
LIKE YOU GUYS DO A GOOD JOB OF PROMOTING INSTRUCT THEM AND WE'LL PROBABLY SIT DOWN UNTIL YOU GET TO LOOK AT IT UP.
SO PART OF THE REASON THAT SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE IS WE DON'T REALLY HAVE, I MEAN, I'M SURE SOMEBODY HAS RECORDS SOMEWHERE, BUT NONE OF US WERE REALLY AROUND WHEN IT WAS DONE.
THAT WAS STRONG, PERSONAL CONSTRUCT CONSTRUCT
OTHER THAN THAT
AND WE FINALLY FOUND ONE AND I DON'T THINK THE COMPANY THAT CURRENTLY, OR THE COMPANY THAT WE WERE USING IS NOT THE ONE THAT WE USED BEFORE, BUT THEY ARE MAKING THE SAME TYPE OF BOARDS THAT WE DIDN'T USE.
IT WHAT'S THE RECORD RETENTION.
SOMETIMES IF YOU HAVE A DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE OR IF THERE'S ISSUES, I MEAN, I THINK NOW GOING FORWARD, THERE ARE BETTER AWARE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD HAPPEN KNOW
BUT NOT, BUT NOT ON SPECS AND ALL THAT.
I LIKE, I JUST WAS WONDERING THAT I JUST FIND IT TENSION.
WE'VE ALL BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT KIND OF INFORMATION FOR A LONG TIME OR YEARS.
[6. Other/Comments]
OKAY.ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS OR THINGS THAT I HAVE? ONE LITTLE THING.
UM, I'D LIKE TO HAVE ACCESS TO LIKE SOMETHING THAT TAYLOR COULD PUT TOGETHER SINCE HE'S THE MASTER OF ALL THINGS XL OR WHATEVER.
UM, JUST SOMETHING, A LIST OF ALL OF OUR NAMES OR OUR CELL PHONES AND OUR EMAILS.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE HAD ANY NEED FOR ANYBODY'S HOME ADDRESS OR ANYTHING, BUT SOMETHING THAT IF IT JUST MAKES THE FORM, MAYBE PUT YOUR NAME IN IT AND PUT IT OUT THERE AND WE COULD JUST SIMPLY DOESN'T HAVE TO DO IT ALL.
WE CAN JUST GO IN AND ENTER OUR OWN INFORMATION.
AND IF WE HAVE ACCESS TO IT, THEN IF I CHANGE MY EMAIL ADDRESS, I CAN GO IN AND CHANGE IT.
I DON'T HAVE TO MAKE SARAH DO IT OR SOMEBODY ELSE DO IT, BUT JUST SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO SEND OUT SOMETHING TO EVERYONE, YOU CAN MAKE UP YOUR OWN FOOD LIST AND STUFF.
SO YOU'RE LIKE A CONTACT SHEET.
AND JOSH, AND IF YOU HAVE ACCESS, YOU CAN'T SHARE IT WITH ANYBODY THAT WOULD BE, THAT WOULD FALL UNDER DOCUMENTARY.
YOU START GETTING ALL KINDS OF STILL ANONYMOUS EMAILS BECAUSE JAMISON SHIT UM, SO FOR UP FOR OTHER COMMENTS, I WAS JUST,
[01:20:01]
YOU KNOW, I HAD JAMESON, THIS IS YOUR SECOND TIME BEING HERE, BUT TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, INVITE YOU TO PARTICIPATE AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THINK ABOUT LIKE, WHAT KIND OF, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE, LIKE, IF YOU THINK THAT THERE'S A, MAYBE AN, A NEED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY FOR LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOUR DEMOGRAPHIC OR ANY IDEAS OR HELPING US, I THINK ONE GOOD THING WOULD BE LIKE A VOLUNTEER POOL, BUT JUST THINKING ABOUT, AND ALWAYS FEELING THAT, YOU KNOW, ANY IDEA IS FINE.JUST, JUST TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, BRING, BRING YOU IN AND HAVE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE AND, AND HOPEFULLY LIKE YOU'D BE ABLE TO, UM, I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR SCHEDULE IS, BUT YOU CERTAINLY WOULD BE SO WELCOME TO COME TO THE, UM, THE JAM, THE STATE BOARD.
AND, AND, AND DON'T BE INTIMIDATED BY ANYBODY JUST CAUSE WE'VE TALKED BEFORE.
UM, BUT THE WHOLE IDEA OF HAVING YOU WAS TO BRING IN BUT THE WHOLE IDEA OF ME BEING HERE IS, IS TO BRING THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS TO IDEAS.
I MEAN, YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE USING THE PARK PROBABLY MORE THAN ANYONE AND CERTAINLY I'M NOT, BUT, UM, W WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR IDEAS AND YOUR SUGGESTIONS, AND TO BE FRIENDS, TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND, YOU KNOW, BE OPEN TO THEIR SUGGESTIONS TO BRING TO US.
SO THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD, THAT'D BE GREAT.
ANY PROGRAM OR EVENT IDEAS THAT YOU HAVE THAT YOU THINK WOULD HIT YOUR DEMOGRAPHIC? ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GOOD IDEAS.
AND WE HAVE THE AMPHITHEATER TOO, SO CONCERTS, OR JUST DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HIGHLIGHTING DIFFERENT, LIKE THE BAND AND STUFF.
JUST WHATEVER YOU OPEN MIKE NIGHT, I'M WEARABLE THE PARKS AND WHAT THEY HAVE IN THEM.
CAUSE THAT, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT, UH, SOMETIME THEY, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE, TAKE US AROUND ON A TOUR
YOU DON'T, I MEAN, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND SOME PLACES JUST SO YOU COULD SAY, OH, REALLY LIKE DOG PARK, YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING ON THERE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET OUT AND WALK AROUND WITH THAT.
UM, WITH COURSE HERE AT ANDERSON PARK KIND OF DO, BUT ANYWAY, JUST SO YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THERE AND WHAT POSSIBILITIES, IF THERE'S SOMETHING, IF YOU SEE A PARK SPACE AND IT'S NOT MUCH HAPPENING THERE, SEVERAL OF THEM ARE, YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME IDEAS FOR WHAT THEY MIGHT BE.
SO ANYTHING FEEL COMFORTABLE TO BRING ANY IDEAS TO THE, TO THE TABLE.
UM, UH, OTHER THINGS LIKE WE USED TO DO WELCOME PACKAGES, WE STILL DO.
UM, SO THE THING OF WELCOME PACKAGES IS, AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THIS AT FIRST WHEN WE STARTED DOING THEM, BUT THEY ONLY GO OUT TO NEW HOUSES.
SO EVEN IF YOU ARE RIGHT, IS THAT CORRECT? LIKE, EVEN IF YOU'RE, EVEN IF YOU'RE A NEW RESIDENT AND YOU'RE MOVING INTO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PREVIOUSLY BUILT HOUSE.
SO LIKE IF YOU SOLD YOUR HOUSE YEAH.
SO IF YOU, IF YOU SOLD YOUR HOUSE, WE WOULDN'T BE GIVING A WELCOME PACKET TO THAT PERSON.
WHO'S MOVING TO YOUR HOUSE, EXCEPT FOR, I THINK THERE IS.
CAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN THAT WAS BEING WORKED ON, BECAUSE WHEN, WHEN SOMEBODY IS BUYING A HOUSE, THEY DO HAVE TO PAY A FEE AND IT'S EITHER THROUGH, THROUGH HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS, THERE'S THERE IS A WAY TO TAP THAT.
SO WE CURRENTLY DON'T THAT WAY YOU CAN ONLY GOES TO NEW CONSTRUCTION HOUSES.
SO IF THERE'S A NEW HOUSE BUILT IN THE TOWNSHIP, THEN THAT HOUSE HOME OWNER GETS A WELCOME HOME.
WHAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD SEND A, UM, JUST A NOTICE TO WHEN YOU'D HAVE TO BE MAILED, BUT TO THE VARIOUS REALTORS IN THE AREAS SO THAT THEY'RE AWARE THAT IF YOU SELL, UH, AN EXISTING HOME TO SOMEONE COMING IN FROM OUTSIDE OF THIS, UH, UH, TOWNSHIP, UM, PLEASE LET US KNOW AND THEN, THEN WE CAN GIVE THEM THE PATH.
CAUSE IT, HE USED TO BE KATHLEEN, BUT NOW IT'S, UM, KAREN AND, UM, SO YOU GET A NEW RECYCLING BIN AND THEN YOU GET A NEW, UM, PACKAGE, LIKE A FOLDER WITHIN, I KNOW THAT LIKE PARKS AND REC WE'D PUT INFORMATION TOGETHER AND GAVE IT TO STILL DO THAT.
SO, AND INFORMATION PROGRAMS OVER UPCOMING EVENTS, THE MOST RECENT NEWSLETTER ON THAT KIND OF STUFF.
SO I, YOU KNOW, I MAYBE LIKE INVESTIGATE SO IT CAN LOOK SAME WITH THAT IS THERE'S HARDLY, IT'S REALLY HARD TO TRACK THAT KIND OF INFORMATION BECAUSE SUCH AS JESSE SAID, THE REAL LEADERS AND THEY CAN DO IT AS A FAVOR TO THEIR CLIENT, IT WOULDN'T COST US ANYTHING TO SEND THEM AN EMAIL.
[01:25:01]
THAT'S A GOOD POINT.IT'S JUST, WE STRUGGLED WITH THAT WITH THE NEWSLETTER AS WELL TO KNOW WHO'S MOVED OUT, WHO'S MOVED IN, UM, DIFFERENT ADDRESSES THAT MAYBE DON'T EXIST ANYMORE OR NEW ADDRESSES THAT DO THAT WE JUST WEREN'T TOLD ABOUT.
SO, UM, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMUNICATIONS PERSON, NO, THERE'S MORE PEOPLE MOVING INTO EXISTING CONSTRUCTION AND THERE ARE MOVING INTO NEW CONSTRUCTION IS SR.
LIKE WE DON'T HAVE A HOME ADDRESS.
SO WE JUST NEED UP HERE WITH, YOU HAVE TO GO TO EACH ONE OF THOSE POST OFFICES AND IT ALSO COSTS TO GET THEIR LISTS AND THEY ALSO HAVE EMAIL.
NO, I LIKE YOUR IDEA, BUT I'M JUST, WE'RE JUST SAYING YOU HAVE TO, IN ORDER TO GET THOSE LISTS, YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM AND THEN THEY DON'T UPDATE THEM.
YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT EACH TIME YOU GET AN UPDATE.
SO IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO CHECK THAT INFORMATION DOWN, BUT THAT IS A GOOD IDEA ABOUT LIKE REACHING OUT TO THE LOCAL REALTORS.
WE DO HAVE A CONNECTION WITH ONE REALTOR, UM, TELL HER WHAT
SO, UM, SHE MAY BE ABLE TO HELP US KIND OF GET IN THAT NETWORK.
I MEAN, WE COULD EVEN, I MEAN, EVEN AS WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS A BIGGER AUDIENCE, HAVE LIKE WELCOME PACKAGES HERE AT THE TOWNSHIP AND AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
SO THAT WHEN, BECAUSE THAT IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WILL GO AND TO GET MORE INFORMATION AND, AND HAVE, YOU KNOW, LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE LITTLE GIVEAWAYS TO, WITH THE 17TH, WE'RE DOING THE ELECTION IN THE LOBBY HERE.
SO IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A TABLE, YOU CAN PUT IT OUT HERE.
IT'D BE HALF A DOZEN OR 10, BECAUSE USUALLY WE'LL GET NEW PEOPLE THAT, ESPECIALLY UP IN COLLINSVILLE TRAP DISTRICT.
WE DON'T NEED TO VOLUNTEER THE WEBSITE.
I MEAN, BUT I THINK JUST, YOU KNOW, GENERAL INFORMATION JUST, AND THEN CHAMPS AT HOW'S THAT EVERYTHING'S GOING WELL, CAUSE THE CAMP'S GOING TO BE STARTING.
LOOKING ON HIRING I'M WHEN I WAS WALKING, I, A WOMAN ASKED ME IF, UM, IF WE'RE DOING ANY HIRING ANY JUNIOR CAMP, LIKE
I, I TOLD HER TO GO ON THE WEBSITE, CONTACT THEM FOR, BUT, UM, I'VE HAD AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE FROM CAMPERS WHO PREVIOUSLY WERE IN THE PROGRAM OR IN THE CAMP PROGRAM WANTING TO BCI TS.
AND BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW EVERYTHING WORKS.
UM, I KIND OF FEEL LIKE THEY WOULD BE THE BEST, NOT THAT I'M LIMITING IT TO THEM, BUT, UM, I'VE HAD AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE AND I CAN ONLY TAKE A COUPLE, SO YEAH.
WELL, I THINK PART OF THE THING IS IT'S SO IT'S A VOLUNTEER PROGRAM, RIGHT? SO YOU, YOUR KID VOLUNTEERS TO HELP AT CAMP, BUT IT'S ALSO FREE BABYSITTING FOR THE PARENT.
LIKE THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY TO GET THEIR CHILD INTO THIS.
SO, BUT THEIR KID ISN'T OLD ENOUGH TO BE IN CAMP.
SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE THE APPLICATION IS GOOD BECAUSE IT KIND OF FORCES THEM TO WRITE A LETTER OF WHY THEY'RE INTERESTED GET A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION.
SO IT'S ACTUALLY WORK THAT THEY HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO DO THAT.
SO IT'S NOT JUST LIKE A FREE SERVICE, BUT YEAH, I WILL.
AND THAT'S WHAT I MEAN, I HOPE I JUST SAID, GO TO SAID, HOLD YOUR NAME AND GO TO THE WEBSITE AND TO CONTEST ANY OTHER LAST MINUTE QUESTIONS BEFORE WE, FOR COMMENTS.
I'M GOING TO END THE MEETING ADJOURNED.
WELL, I GIVE IT A COUPLE OF MINUTES.
