NO, BUT
SO I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST TIME PEOPLE ARE GETTING A CHANCE TO SEE, AND IT WAS IN PRIME SPOT CUZ IT WAS ON THE FOLDED BACK PART OF IT.
SO I THINK WE'RE STARTING TO RAISE THE, UM, INTEREST AND EXCITEMENT AND, UM, IT LOOKS GREAT.
IT'S ACTUALLY FUNNY THAT YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE, UM, I MEET, I'M ON THE SPRING BOARD CHAMBER BOARD AND I MET WITH, UM, THE PERSON WHO RUNS IT YESTERDAY.
SHE, I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HER A MONTH.
WE'VE BEEN JUST MISSING EACH OTHER COMPLETELY.
AND SHE'S LIKE, THIS IS HERE, HEAVY WALL.
CAN YOU HAVE WALL HEELS COMING? AND I WAS LIKE, WHICH WE'LL DO THAT.
LIKE, IT'S ALREADY LIKE MAKING A BREAK.
IT WASN'T SOMEONE FROM THE TOWNSHIP THAT I, SO NO, I READ IT ON THE TOWNSHIP WEBSITE, BUT I, I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT HITS DIFFERENT POPULATIONS, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON WHERE.
IT WAS ALSO FUNNY TO SEE SO MUCH IN THERE ABOUT SNOW WHEN WE'RE NOT COMING.
WE COULD HAVE A NOW IF YOU, IF YOU YEAH.
WHICH WAY TO TURN? WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU'VE MISSED.
SANDY IS TALKING ABOUT HOW GOOD THE NEWSLETTER LOOKS.

[4. New Business]
INTO NEW BUSINESS.UM, THE PARK BOARD STUFF THAT WE HAVE TO DISCUSS IS THE JAM AT BLACKROCK AND THAT IS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 23RD.
TAYLOR IS THE, THE CHAIR ON THAT.
SO WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE AN UPDATE OTHER THAN I THINK HE SHARED WITH US THAT HE HAD ALREADY CONTACTED MARK GABA GEMMA.
YEAH, WE MET, UM, A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WITH, UM, WITH MARK AND WE'RE ALL SET TO GO.
WE'RE GONNA KEEP IT EXACTLY THE SAME AS IT WAS LAST YEAR.
WE'RE SHORTENING IT A LITTLE BIT.
UM, I AM GOING TO ACTUALLY, I BELIEVE I GOT A DJ FOR IT AS BACKUP JUST IN CASE HIS UJ
[00:05:01]
CAN'T MAKE IT.UM, WE'RE STILL DOING THE DONATIONS TO PACKS.
THAT WILL BE YOUR ENTRY FEE IN UM, WE WANNA OPEN UP THAT PARKING LOT NEXT TO THE SKATE PARK THIS YEAR TO MAKE IT MORE VENDOR.
SO WHETHER THEY'RE SELLING OR IF THEY'RE, UM, FIXING SKATEBOARDS WHILE THE KIDS ARE THERE OR UM, PROVIDING ANY TYPE OF SERVICE.
WE'RE GONNA ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR.
IF WE DON'T THEN WE'LL JUST PRETEND THAT WE WEREN'T DOING IT.
BUT, UM, THAT'S THE GOAL FOR THIS YEAR.
IT'S GONNA BE HERE OBVIOUSLY AT BLACKROCK AT THE SKATE PARK.
UM, AND MARK WAS GOING TO REACH OUT TO, UM, MIKE THAT RUNS PHILLY KADES TO SEE IF HE ARE STILL INTERESTED IN HOSTING IT WITH US.
CAUSE UM, HE'S THE ONE WHO KIND OF BROUGHT THE DJ IN.
HE'S THE ONE WHO KIND OF BROUGHT IN A LOT OF THE SWAG AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE AND THE MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER.
SO WE'RE GONNA SEE IF HE'S STILL INTERESTED.
UM, I WILL COME BACK FOR MARKET THOUGH, BUT WE HAVE A MEETING, UM, NOT MARCH, BUT I THINK WE'RE GONNA MEET, UM, END OF MARCH, EARLY APRIL OUR NEXT MORNING.
SO THANK AND SO TAYLOR AND YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THE, DO YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE ON YOUR COMMITTEE? ARE YOU GUYS NOPE, I THINK WE'RE GOOD.
SO I THINK THE DAY OF THE EVENT IS WHEN I THINK TAYLOR'S HOP THAT A LOT OF US WILL BE THERE TO ASSIST WITH THE DAY AGAIN.
UM, SO, AND WE'LL DO THE SAME THING WITH THE FOOD LAST YEAR.
UM, PHILLY PRETZELS, IF WE BOUGHT A CERTAIN AMOUNT, THEY GAVE US THE SAME AMOUNT FREE AND THE SAME THING WITH UM, HOPEFUL.
DIDN'T WE DO TOMATO, TOMATO PIE? YES, WE DID TOMATO PIE
AND UM, AND YEAH, I THINK IT'S GONNA BE VERY SIMILAR.
PUT OUT MORE MARKETING MARKS GETTING US THE NEW MARKETING PIECES AND WE STILL HAVE THE BANNER FROM LAST.
SO GET THE DATES APRIL 23RD STARTS AT, UM, I BELIEVE WE'RE DOING 12 TO THREE.
UM, THE, THE NEXT THING, LIKE WE'RE JUST KIND OF KEEPING IT ON THE AGENDA JUST TO KIND OF, SO IT'S FORM FOREMOST IN PEOPLE'S MIND THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO POTENTIALLY BEGIN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING AT A MURAL PROGRAM.
SO WHAT I WAS THINKING, I WAS THINKING MAYBE TWO PEOPLE FROM THE BOARD AND THEN IF WE COULD POSSIBLY GET SOME VOLUNTEERS.
UM, AND I'M NOT SURE IF WE HAVE A LIST OF VOLUNTEERS OR HOW TO PUT OUT MAYBE TWO PEOPLE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO GET INVOLVED AND THEN, EXCUSE ME.
AND THEN I KNEW WITH WHAT PETER GAVE US, THERE ARE AMOUNTS THAT WE CAN PAY THESE ARTISTS.
DO WE HAVE TO ASK THE BOARD THE MONEY WHAT WE HAVE TO DO? CAUSE WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING THIS FOR 24, RIGHT? LIKE START THE ACTUAL PROJECT.
SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS I'LL PUT IN THE PROPOSAL IN MY BUDGET A SPECIAL WIDE ITEM FOR THAT.
AND THEN, UM, DURING MY WORKSHOP MEETINGS, IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD COME AND SPEAK TO IT, UM, I'LL JUST HAVE YOU GUYS COME.
AND GENERALLY WHEN IT'S JUST KIND INITIATIVE THAT IT WOULD JUST BE, I THINK BETWEEN MYSELF, YOU AND WHOEVER YOUR BOARD, YOUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE.
SO LIKE WE CAN GO THROUGH THAT, HAVE AN EXACT NUMBER AND THEN I'LL TRY TO OVERESTIMATE JUST IN CASE WE NEED.
BUT THAT WILL BE, YOU SAID YOUR BUDGET PROCESS IN JULY.
SO, OH, THAT, THIS IS PERFECT TIME TO START THEN.
AND I THINK MY O ONLY OTHER QUESTION RIGHT NOW CAUSE I WANNA PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER AND SEND IT TO YOU IS, UM, ARE WE GONNA FOLLOW ALL THE DOCUMENTS THAT PETER SENT? I MEAN, I'VE READ THROUGH MOST OF THEM AND I WASN'T SURE THAT ALL OF THEM PERTAINED TO US.
DO YOU WANNA HIGHLIGHT THE ONES YOU'RE
I DIDN'T THINK IT, THEIRS IS VERY MUCH LIKE, IT'S LIKE IT'S READY TO GO.
I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYTHING THAT THEY DO IS GOING TO MAKE SENSE ON OUR EXACTLY.
WHAT, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT, UM, GUESS I'M JUST SEEING IT OUT THERE.
HAVE YOU MENTIONED THAT HAVE A GREAT IDEA TO HAVE A COUPLE BOARD MEMBERS.
MAYBE YOU AS THE CHAIR AND WHOEVER WANTS TO VOLUNTEER AS A BOARD, MAYBE GET TOGETHER, GO THROUGH THAT WITH YOU UNLESS YOU WANNA DO THAT.
[00:10:01]
AND THEN WE COULD GO THROUGH IT AND KIND OF SEE WHAT WE WANNA PICK AND CHOOSE FROM THAT.KIND OF GET MAYBE A SUMMARY TOGETHER, DISCUSS IT WITH YOU AND THEN WHEN WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A FOUNDATION, REACH OUT TO THE PUBLIC.
WOULD BE, SO AS FAR AS A COMMITTEE, UM, I, I'M INTERESTED IN THIS GIRLFRIEND.
I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED, SO WE'LL FIND OUT ONCE, UM, WE JUST HAD TO, UM, I'M JUST REALLY, I WORKED BY
OH NO, THAT'S, I MEAN, IT, IT'S VOLUNTEER.
I MEAN LAST, LAST YEAR I, I DID UH, SKATEBOARD CAUSE I WANTED TO LEARN ABOUT IT.
I DON'T NOT, UM, WHICH IS YOU INTERESTED IN? I'D RATHER PUT MY EFFORTS IN.
BE HONEST ALL SO WE, MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER PERSON.
AND THEN IF WE HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE SITUATION THAN IF WE HAVE A SUBSTITUTE.
JAMESON, IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'RE INTERESTED IN OR YOU YEAH.
AND I HAVE A REALLY BIG SUMMER.
AGAIN, JUST TRYING TO GET CAN HELP LIKE, LET ME KNOW IF AT ANY, YOU KNOW, YOU, BUT I JUST DON'T, UM OKAY.
IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE PULL, UM, LAURIE FROM THE BOARD.
CAUSE SHE'S BEEN PUSHING PUSH.
SO THAT MIGHT BE YOUR SECOND TOWNSHIP PERSON VERSUS TWO OFF OUR BOARD.
I JUST WANT TO ASK ONE QUESTION.
THEY'RE GONNA FOLLOW A CERTAIN GUIDE BY MM-HMM.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY DO? Y THEY PRESENT IT.
SO LIKE, MY MY IS IS LIKE, WE, LIKE WHAT WE WOULD COME UP WITH IS A THEME AND THEN, THEN LIKE WE PUT OUT TO THE PUBLIC TO GET SOME OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN BEING LIKE JUDGES OR THE BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE OR WHATEVER.
AND THEN ONCE THEY WOULD HAVE TO SUBMIT WITHIN THAT THEME AND THEN OF THE SUBMISSIONS WE CHOOSE AND THEN RADICALLY WE, UM, WOULD GIVE THEM SOME MONEY FOR DOING IT.
BUT WHATEVER THEY, THEY HAVE TO SHOW US A PROTOTYPE AND THEN THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES IN WHAT KIND OF PAINT AND WE PROVIDE THE DIFFERENT SURFACES, PLACES IN WHICH ONE WE GO.
AND THAT'S KIND OF WHY WE HAD PETER COME OUT AND EXPLAIN HOW HE RUNS THE CONTENT.
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GET IN THE WEEDS ON WHAT'S APPROPRIATE TO ME.
MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE TO YOU AND HOW WE DO IT'S ART.
SO I THINK YOU'RE GONNA OBVIOUSLY HE'S VERY INVOLVED.
AND THEN WE KIND OF GO FROM HERE.
SO THE NEXT THING IS JUST A JUNIOR MEMBER CHECK IN.
SO YOU'RE, YOU'RE KIND OF YOUR, YOU'RE GONNA FINISH UP THIS TO YEAR? YEAH.
SO I THINK, LIKE, I KNOW I'M BUSY THE FIRST WEEK, THE FIRST TWO WEEKS I WON'T BE ABLE TO, I MIGHT BE ABLE TO COME UNTIL JULY, BUT PROBABLY AUGUST I'LL BE LIKE GETTING READY TO GO.
SO WE SHOULD KIND OF THINK MAYBE LIKE YOU, YOU MIGHT BE ENDING UP AROUND MAY.
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS BETWEEN HIM AND JULIANA.
AND JULIANA SENT A NOTES ON THAT.
I CUZ I JUST WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T REPLY CAUSE I FIGURED IT WOULD BE YOU.
I FIGURED ONCE, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST GONNA THANK HER FOR HER SERVICE AND JUST SAY YES.
YOU KNOW, WE WOULD, WE'D LOVE FOR YOU TO STILL BE, BE INVOLVED AS FAR AS HELPING US WITH EVENTS AND VOLUNTEERS AND WE'LL REACH OUT.
BUT WE DON'T EXPECT HER TO TO COME.
SO IS SHE GRADUATING TOO? SHE'S WITH YOU.
SO WE'RE REALLY, THIS SUMMER GOING TO BE LOOKING TO CONTACT THE, UM, SCHOOL AGAIN AND SEE IF THEY COULD SUGGEST THIS SUMMER.
I THINK WE SHOULD GET THEM MAYBE RIGHT NOW.
IT SHOULD BE SOONER THAN THAT.
SO THAT, SO IS THAT SOMETHING, SOMETHING MAYBE BY LIKE MARCH, DO YOU KNOW ANY OF YOUR FRIENDS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN, WELL YOUR FRIENDS ARE GRADUATING WITH YOU.
[00:15:01]
DUNNO IF YOU KNOW ANY YEAH, I'M NOT REALLY FRIENDS.IT'S LIKE WHEN I GO UP TO SCHOOL, I COULD KNOW THE WHOLE SCHOOL THAT WAS LIKE
I DON'T, I I DO THE SAME THING FROM MY NEPHEWS TOO.
YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE, CAN YOU, JAMESON, CAN YOU GIVE US, UM, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT TONIGHT.
IF YOU COULD KIND OF JUST THINK IN TERMS OF, UM, ANY LIKE, ALMOST LIKE A REVIEW OF WHAT YOU THOUGHT WENT WELL, WHAT, YOU KNOW, ANY SUGGESTIONS.
YEAH, BECAUSE I, I, I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT AND I THINK WE HAVE SUCH A PACKED AGENDA THAT SOMETIMES IT'S JUST LIKE US TALKING DUH DUH AND WE DON'T NECESSARILY, UM, CREATE THE SPACE.
WE SHOULD PROBABLY MAKE THAT AGENDA.
SO I, I KIND OF SORRY ABOUT THAT.
I, I THINK THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO CURVE.
THANKS FOR COMING TO LIKE, CREATE THE ENVIRONMENT TO PROMOTE MORE INVOLVEMENT BECAUSE I, I, I THINK IT'S DIFFICULT TO DO THAT IN THE WAY THE MEETINGS RUN NOW.
BUT IF YOU COULD THINK ALONG THOSE LINES AND MAYBE COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS, YOU KNOW, THAT ONE WE'LL TALK
JAMESON, DO YOU GO BACK TO THE SCHOOL THEN AND REPORT WHAT THE MEETINGS WERE ABOUT? IS THAT PART OF WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO? NO, MIKE, I CLOSER KINDA JUST, IT WAS, THIS WAS OUR, OUR FIRST, WE ARE TRYING THIS OUT JUST TO KIND OF SEE, AND I THINK WE, I THINK IT WAS A GREAT FIRST ATTEMPT, BUT I THINK WE CAN IMPROVE UPON THE, THE, YOU KNOW, YOU WERE LIKE OUR, OUR BEGINNING THANK YOU FOR BEING PART AND HELPING US FIGURE OUT.
BUT YEAH, I'M THINKING MAYBE WE SHOULD SOMEONE HEY THAT YOU FEEL LIKE TRANSITION.
SO THAT PERSON COULD PUT TWO YEARS IN.
IT COULD ALSO BE SOMETHING THAT THE SCHOOL INCLUDES IN THEIR STUDENT GOVERNMENT THAT WHOEVER COMES TO THIS MEETING COULD THEN REPORT TO THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE COMMUNITY SO THAT WHEN KIDS ARE ASKED TO GET INVOLVED, THEY HAVE A HEADS UP.
THAT'S UH, YEAH WE HAVE ANNOUNCEMENTS.
THEY SAY, OH MY GOD, JUST GO THROUGH.
NO, THERE'S NOT REALLY, THAT'S NOT THE KIND OF THING THAT THEY YEAH.
BUT I WILL SAY WHAT'S VOLUNTEERS, MY CLIMATE GENIUS BECOMES FILLED WITHIN MOMENTS.
SO IT, THEY'RE PRETTY QUICK TO JUMP AT IT.
AND THEY'RE ALSO SOMETIMES PRETTY QUICK TO FORGET TO COME TO THINGS.
BUT THAT'S MAINLY BECAUSE THERE'S NO LIKE REMINDERS EASILY BETTER ABOUT SENDING A REMINDER LIKE, HEY, CAUSE LIKE OUR KIDS' CORNER RIGHT NOW IT'S ALL SPRINGBOARD AND HIGH SCHOOL VOLUNTEER BASED.
SO THOSE TWO NIGHTS A WEEK IT'S OPEN FOR TWO HOURS FOR LIKE A CHILD WATCH FOR THE PARENTS.
AND THAT'S RUN BY VOLUNTEERS IN THE SCHOOL RIGHT NOW.
AND THEY'RE AMAZING USING TO PLAY WITH.
I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES BUT NO.
DOES THAT THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER, YEAH.
ANYTHING ELSE ON JUNIOR MEMBER COULD MOVE ALONG TO SEE KIND OF DOING IT? AN UPDATE ON UM, SOME RECREATION.
SO THIS THREE DONATION EVENT PROGRAM.
UM, I HAVE A COUPLE RIGHT NOW THAT ARE LOOKING FOR PREVENTS, THEY'RE LOOKING TO DONATE, TREAT OR NOT DONATE TREES, BUT THEY'RE LOOKING TO HAVE MEMORIAL TREES PLANTED.
UM, I GAVE JOSH THIS MORNING, OUR MORNING SENT TO JOSH YESTERDAY, THE NEWEST ONES.
SOME PEOPLE WILL COME TO, I JUST WANTED MEMORIAL TREATMENTS BUT WERE EVER, YOU THINK THIS TYPE OF TREE, THE COUPLE THAT WE'VE GOTTEN IN RECENTLY ARE VERY SPECIFIC ON WHERE THEY WANT THE TREE TO GO.
SO IT'S HAVING HIM OUT TO SITES AND KEEPING, WE HAVE SPACE TO THOSE LOCATIONS TO PUT IT.
[00:20:01]
UM, THIS WEEK, NEXT WEEK TO SPOT OUT WHERE THE UM, TREES AND BENCHES CAN GO.AND THEN, BECAUSE I'M HOLDING UP THIS PROCESS, I'LL BE COMPLETELY HONEST, UM, I EMAILED BILL AND JOSH TODAY AND I SAID IF YOU GUYS CAN GET TOGETHER WITH CLOSE AND MEET ABOUT THE BENCHES AND MEET ABOUT THE TREE POSSIBILITIES AND THEN HE'S GONNA BRING BRIAN OR TREE SIDE AND THEN MAKE SURE THAT UM, WE'RE TAKING THE RIGHT THING AND IF I CAN JOIN IN, I'LL SWING IN AND BE THERE.
I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE TO HOLD UP THAT PROCESS CUZ THAT'S WHY THIS ISN'T VAGUE UP.
CAUSE I HAVEN'T, I HAVEN'T SENT THE VIDEO.
WHAT YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW, ARE YOU I HAVE UM, A BENCH.
I HAVE TWO BENCHES AND A COUPLE TREES.
AND RIGHT NOW THEY DON'T PLANT.
NO, BUT WE'RE GETTING TO THAT SEASON.
LIKE IF THE WEATHER CONDITIONS SAY THE WAY THEY ARE, THEY COULD START PLANTING THINGS WHEN THEY PARK.
SO IF WE'RE GONNA ORDER A TREE OR IF WE'RE GONNA ORDER THE BENCHES NOW TIME.
THIS MAY SOUND CRAZY AND OUT THERE, BUT I'M JUST THINKING LIKE WHAT, RIGHT NOW IF SOMEBODY PUTS IN A TREE YEAH.
IF THEY CAME TO WHICH WHICHEVER FACILITY AND WANTED TO FIND THE TREE OR SEE WHERE OTHER PIECE, IS IT JUST LISTED ON A PIECE OF PAPER? NO, WE ACTUALLY, JOSH MAUREEN HAVE A SPECIFIC ABOUT AND THEY PIN THE TREES SO THEY, THE PEOPLE WHO ORDER THEM GET A MAP OF THE TREE THAT THEY HAVE ALONG WITH THE TREES THAT ARE IN THAT LOCATION AS WELL.
IT'S ONLY REALLY TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONATED THE MEMORIALS.
SO WHAT WE COULD THINK ABOUT, AND THIS WOULD BE MAYBE A PROJECT FOR A JUNIOR MEMBER SEARCHING FIVE, LIKE A GPS TYPE OF THING WHERE PEOPLE COME AND YOU KNOW, IF THEY WANT TO, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF THEY JUST WANTED TO WALK AROUND AND JUST SEE THE DIFFERENT TREES WE HAVE, THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, HAVE IT BE IDENTIFIED.
MAYBE SOME, YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE PLAQUES SO THEY'RE ALL EASILY IDENTIFIED WHEN YOU FIND THEM.
BUT IF YOU CALLED MAUREEN AND SAID, I'M REALLY LOOKING FOR THIS TREE DONATION THAT IS FOR MY AUNT.
SHE COULD PULLED UP AND PULLED UP REAL QUICK.
YOU CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY WHERE THAT IS.
AND I MEAN I, I'M SORRY THAT JUST MAY BE, UM, YEAH, LET'S TAKE, I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK OF PROJECTS THAT MAYBE COULD GET LIKE MORE YOUNGER PEOPLE INVOLVED AND THAT MAY BE LIKE A TECHNICAL AREA THAT RIGHT.
WE DON'T HAVE SKILLSET OR MAYBE WE DO OR NOT THE TIME JUST IN IDEA.
UM, THE C R P AWARD IN CONFERENCE.
UM, I TRIED TO SEND AS MANY PICTURES OF THE PLAYGROUND AND IT GRAND OPENING AND THE VIDEO OF OUR SOCK OPENING IS A REALLY NICE EXPLOSION OF CHILDREN THAT RAN IN.
UM, BUT THEY ONLY LET ME UPLOAD ONE PICTURE OF PDF.
AND LIEU OF ONLY DOING ONE BECAUSE ONE DOESN'T SERVE ADJUST IT.
THIS HAS LIKE 10 PICTURES ON IT HOPEFULLY GETS THE POINT ACROSS OF WHAT IT IS AND HOW UM, AMAZING IT IS.
AND THEN THE UM, CON THE CONFERENCE IS THE 20, THE 19TH AND THE 22ND OF MARCH.
SO IF WE DO GET NOMINATED, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO FIND OUT BEFOREHAND SO THAT YOU SHOW UP IN HERSHEY.
SO MAYBE FOR OUR MARCH MEETING, YOU MAY HAVE, I MIGHT HAVE NEWS.
JUST THAT WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF A NOMINATION.
TAYLOR, YOU KNOW, DID A SUPER JOB PHONE INFORMATION TOGETHER AND THEN WE'RE ALREADY ON BOARD WITH THINKING FOR 2023 SUBMITTING AN AUTOMATION FOR THE WALMART.
SO WE KIND OF HOPE TO KEEP THIS GOING.
AND, UM, THE LAST THING ON MY LIST, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR SOME GOOGLE DRIVE WORKING, SO, UM, I CAN'T GET ONTO THE FILE BUT I, UM, IT WILL BE, IT SHOULD BE ON THE GOOGLE DRIVE THAT WE ALL SHARE.
UM, I PUT THE NEWEST VERSION OF THE 2023 STRAP PLAN.
UM, AND BY CHANGES I MEAN ADDITIONS OBVIOUSLY WE WHY NOT DO MORE WHEN YOU CAN
SO I AM SLOWLY CREATING PARTNERSHIPS WITH UM, TOWN CENTER.
UM, SO WE CAN HAVE THINGS, EVENTS THERE WE CAN THAT THEY'RE HAVING
[00:25:01]
BECOME MORE OF A NEIGHBOR WITH THEM THAN JUST 22 DECEMBER LOGO.I'M ALSO WORKING WITH, UM, WE HAD OUR, THIS IS GONNA GO DOWN THE LINE A LITTLE BIT, BUT WE ALSO HAD OUR, OUR CONSORTIUM MEETING AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'LL BE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH A LOT MORE OF THE PARKS DEPARTMENTS IN THIS AREA.
SO INSTEAD OF OFFERING THE SAME THING, WE'RE JUST GONNA PARTNER WITH EACH OTHER AND PICK AND CHOOSE WITH.
SO THERE MIGHT BE MORE COMING ON THAT LIST.
BUT THIS IS OUR, THIS IS OUR MEETING.
SO THE, THE UM, THE THE UH, WHAT YOU, WHAT YOU SENT US THOSE, THE, ALL THOSE DOCUMENTS IN THAT FOLDER.
IT'S BEEN, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO UPLOAD IT TODAY.
DID THAT HAVE THE, SO THAT HAD 20, 22 STUFF.
WELL WHAT I TRIED TO GO IN TODAY TO DO IS CLEAN UP HOW THE FOLDER'S ORGANIZED.
SO I DID PUT IN ALL OF OUR MEETING MINUTES.
SO IF TAYLOR, CAUSE HE DOES IT ALL ON GOOGLE I THINK ANYWAY, IF HE JUST PUTS IT INTO THE 20, 23 MINUTES FOLDER, EVERYONE HAS IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO IT, SIT IN THERE VERSUS US.
UM, BUT IN THAT CASE THEN WE WOULDN'T BE, DID I DELETE IT? DO I NOT HAVE IT? DOES ANYONE HAVE IT? AND THEN WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR IT LAST MINUTE.
IT WOULD ALL JUST BE ON THE GOOGLE DRIVE SO YOU CAN ALL LOOK AT IT THAT WAY.
SO I WAS TRYING TO GO THROUGH AND ORGANIZE IT BY YEAR.
UM, SO I WAS TRYING TO MAKE CHANGES IN IT AND THEN IT JUST, IT KEEPS TELLING ME THAT I'M ON SO I CAN'T KEEP YOU ANYMORE.
SO I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT.
BUT UM, WE DO HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF EVENTS THAT ARE ON THERE NOW.
UM, I THINK I TOLD EVERYBODY ON THE LAST MEETING THAT THERE ARE A COUPLE THAT WE'LL NO LONGER BE OFFERING BECAUSE WE'LL BE WORKING CONJUNCTION WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.
SO OUR TURKEY TRACK WILL BE OUR NORMAL TURKEY TRACK HERE.
WE'RE TRYING, WE'RE UM, PARTNERING WITH UM, SPRING VALLEY WHITE SEED.
THEY DO THEIR DOUBLE 5K ON OUR PROPERTY ON THANKSGIVING.
SO INSTEAD OF US RUNNING TWO WALK RUNS, I'M JUST GONNA SHARE MY PROPERTY WITH THEM AND WE'RE GONNA DO IT TOGETHER.
AND THEN OUR WOODLAND WONDERLAND, I'M MEETING WITH AREA IN A FEW WEEKS TO TALK ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GONNA UTILIZE IT AND IF THEY DECIDE THEY DON'T WANT TOWN CENTER, SO IT WILL BE SHOWN SOMEWHERE.
SO YEAH, IT'S ALL VERY EXCITING STUFF.
IT'S, IT'S JUST A LOT OF MOVING PARTS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE IT'S ALL.
SO IS THERE ANYTHING UPCOMING THAT WE NEED TO DO LOOKING AT POPULATE VOLUNTEERS? SO THE FIRST THING THAT'S COMING UP IS MARCH 31ST AT 13 FLASHLIGHT EVENT.
THAT'S FROM SEVEN TO NINE FRIDAY NIGHT.
UM, I BELIEVE WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING CANDLES TO DO ICE CREAM THAT NIGHT INSTEAD OF COUPLES.
UM, WE GO AROUND, WE GET A LOT OF GIFT CERTIFICATES, A LOT OF REALLY NICE SWAG GIFTS FOR THE KIDS.
UM, IT'S A REALLY FUN, REALLY BUSY EVENT.
IT'S QUESTION AND IT'S AT ANDERSON.
WE DID IT LAST YEAR, UM, AT THE AM THEATER CAUSE WE WAS THE DARK AREA AND THESE KIDS COME FULLY LOADED.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER DONE OUR TEAM ARE PLUS BEFORE, BUT ALL THE TEAMS, THEY'RE USUALLY, WELL WE'VE HAD, WE'VE HAD JUNIORS THERE LAST YEAR, LIKE THESE HUGE KIDS, BUT IT WAS LIKE 12 YEARS OLD TO 16.
I THINK MAYBE 15 IS REALLY WHERE WE CUT IT OFF.
BUT THEY COME IN DROVES AND THEY COME FULLY LOADED WITH HEADLAMPS CAUSE THEY KNOW YOU CAN'T HOLD THE FLASHLIGHT WITH ONE HAND TRYING TO PICK UP YOUR EGGS AND HOLD YOUR BACK WITH THE OTHER.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET AS MANY EGGS.
THEY HAVE IT PLANNED OUT TO A T THEY'VE WON TEAMS. THIS EVENT IS HYSTERICAL
AND THEY COME RUNNING AT YOU WITH THE FORCE OF LIKE CLYDE SEAL.
IT WAS SUPER, WE ALL WORE NEON SO COULD SEE WHAT THE BARRIERS WERE AND THEY JUST LIKE KEPT COMING AND YOU'RE LIKE, NOT UP.
UM, WE HAD IT FROM SEVEN TO NINE.
WE MIGHT SHORTEN THAT BECAUSE WE'VE HAD TO DO TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS FOR COVID.
I THINK THIS YEAR WE'RE ABLE TO JUST DO ONE BIG GROUP AGAIN LIKE WE USED TO DO.
SO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR UM, BOARD VOLUNTEERS FOR THAT IF ANYONE'S AVAILABLE? TWO PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS, ALWAYS HELPFUL.
UM, ESPECIALLY, UM, ADULTS BECAUSE THE TEENS TEND TO SOMETIMES GET ROWDY OR MISBEHAVE AND WE NEED PEOPLE THERE THAT CAN HELP CONTROL.
WE'VE HAD THEM TRY TO APPEARS NOT GONNA DO IT.
NO MATTER HOW SCARY YOU ARE FOR THAT.
LAST YEAR I THINK IT WAS, THAT'S WHY, THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T COME.
[00:30:01]
YOU'LL PUT OUT LIKE A VOLUNTEER.SO THIS IS WHAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW.
IT'S, IT'S, I'LL SIGN UP A SILLY BLACK AND WHITE SPREADSHEET, BUT WHAT IT WILL HAVE NEXT TO IT IS VOLUNTEER WITH YOUR NAMES AND WHAT YOU CAN DO THAT DAY.
SO I'LL ADD THAT TO IT ONCE IT ALLOWS YOU TO GET BACK ON THE GUARD.
UM, OUR COMMUNITY EGG HUNT, WE MOVED FROM SATURDAY, APRIL 1ST TO SUNDAY, APRIL 2ND FROM 11 TO ONE.
AND THAT IS GENERALLY HERE AT BLACKROCK.
UM, WE MOVED IT BECAUSE DURING OUR CONSORTIUM, EVERYONE AND THEIR CHURCH HAD IT ON SATURDAY.
SO I SAID EITHER WE'RE NOT GONNA OFFER IT OR WE OFFER IT DOWN A DIFFERENT DAY AT A DIFFERENT TIME.
SO SUNDAY, APRIL 2ND WAS THE BEST DAY THAT WE FELT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE THE TIME.
UM, WE HAVE IT FROM 11 TO ONE RIGHT NOW.
WE FIGURED THAT AFTER CHURCH CROWD 11 O'CLOCK IS, IS DECENT.
SO THAT'S A, THAT'S A USUALLY A WELL ENDED.
AND THEN THE 23RD IS THE GYM AND THAT TAKES US THROUGH APRIL.
UM, AND THEN I'LL HAVE STUFF OUT FOR THE REST OF THE MONTHS.
I'LL PUT ON THERE AT FOR YOU TIER RIGHT NOW.
THIS ENTIRELY? NO, THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S GOOD.
I THINK KNOWING 11 TO ONE, THE KNOWING LIKE THE THREE MONTHS, THAT'S PROBABLY THE, THE BASKET AND PEOPLE CAN, AND THEN ABSOLUTELY.
THINGS CHANGE, BUT THIS IS, THE COMMUNITY HUNT IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
WE ACTUALLY ASK, UM, KIDS TO COME IN WELL BEFORE 11 O'CLOCK AND WE TAKE THEM ON THE GATOR AND THEY'RE THE ONES THAT, SO, AND WE SET IT UP.
THERE'S MULTIPLE, UM, EGG HUNTS AT ONE TIME.
AND THE EASTER BUNNY WILL BE THERE.
UM, WE'LL DO PICTURES AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN THIS YEAR.
SO IT'LL BE, IT'LL BE VERY CUTE.
THERE'S NO REINDEER, NO RAIN, NO.
CAUSE THE WALL COMES IN RIGHT AFTER.
NO, A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY WITH A LOT OF THE EVENTS WE USED TO DO RAININ DATES AND I JUST STARTED PULLING THEM CAUSE SO MANY OF THE VENDORS CAN'T DO.
AND I'M ACTUALLY HAVING A DARN OF A TIME GETTING ANY TRUCKS.
I FORGET FOR GOT BACK TO ME RIGHT AWAY.
I DIDN'T GIVE HIM ALL THE TIME YET, BUT I KNOW I'M IN FOR THE DECK.
UM, BUT IF ANYBODY KNOWS IF A FOOD TRUCK OR HAS A CONNECTION WITH ONE, I'LL SEE.
CAUSE THERE WAS STAIR, HER LOVED ONES WAS CLOSED AND THAT'S THE ONE THAT LOVE CLOTHES.
I DUNNO IF HE WAS JUST RETIRING OR WHAT, BUT I JUST WENT TO A, UM, SOME VETERAN FOOD AND THAT BE A HUGE ISSUE IN FUTURE BECAUSE THEY'RE PROBABLY GONNA, CAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TELE EXPERT.
SO OUR, WE'RE GONNA RUN EVERYTHING GENERATOR.
SO YEAH, CHANGE THE WHOLE INDUSTRY.
CAUSE CALIFORNIA'S GONNA HAVE, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THERE, HE PULLS METER IN LIKE 10 YEARS AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA HAVE ELECTRIC CARS KNOW TO PLUG IN.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONES ARE COMING IN OR HOW THEY OPERATE, BUT I KNOW IT WAS, UH, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF WE HAD ENOUGH POWER OURSELVES TO, WITHOUT WIPING OUT OUR DATABASE.
SO, UM, SO YEAH, THE 2023 PLAN MAY BE GIVEN TO EVERYBODY.
UM, HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THIS MEETING IT CAN GET ON.
[5. Old Business]
RIGHT.TO KIND OF TO OLD BUSINESS, BUT WE KIND OF JUMP AROUND.
UM, WE TALKED ABOUT LIKE YOU GOING TO SEND THE VOLUNTEER THING.
SO THAT WAS, UM, SO JUST UPDATE, I DID SEND THE LETTER TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND THEN A REMINDER I DID HEAR FROM BILL STERLING STARLING TODAY.
AND UM, SO I SOON MAY HAVE AN UPDATE.
ALL HE WAS SAYING IS, UM, THAT HE THINKS IT CAN EASILY BE HANDLED BY, UM, TIM'S ADMIN.
[00:35:01]
UH, CHERYL SENDING AN EMAIL OR A LETTER TO KEN.UM, I DIDN'T REPLY TO HIM OTHER, I WILL WANT THANK HIM FOR GETTING BACK, BUT NO, I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVEN'T TRIED CONTACT.
AND THEN IT ENDED UP COMING INTO MY HANDS EARLIER THIS WEEK THAT IT WAS OUR DISCRETION OF WHAT WE WANTED TO DO.
BUT I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT BILL DID SEND SOMETHING AND HE GAVE US THE OKAY, IF WE WILL, TO, TO CREATE THE ULTIMATE ATION.
SO, UM, CHERYL REALLY QUICK TODAY, KNOWING OUR MEETING LIST TONIGHT, SHE WROTE UP A, A LETTER TO PENN, UM, OF WHICH IF THEY WANTED CHAIR REALLY, BUT IT'S BASICALLY ASKING IF HE'S STILL, IF HE STILL WANTS BE BRINGING ALTERNATES.
SO WHEN HE DOES COME BACK, HE DOES COME BACK.
UM, AND IF YOU WRITE BACK SAYING THAT, NO, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW.
LIKE THIS IS GREAT IDEA, LOOKING FORWARD WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.
THEN WHAT ABOUT IF IT DOESN'T ANSWER, IS THERE A TIMEFRAME THAT WE CAN THEN MOVE FORWARD? WELL, BASICALLY WHAT THIS SAYS IS, UM, THE TOWNSHIP WILL BE, UM, APPOINTING AN INTERIM PARION BOARD MEMBER TO POSITION.
SO WE SH WE, WE SHOULD ALLOW, LET'S DECIDE HOW LONG WE WANNA ALLOW THEN BEFORE GOING AHEAD AND DO THAT, IF HIS TERM ENDS DECEMBER, 2025.
SO IN LIKE, SHOULD WE WAIT TWO WEEKS? SHOULD WE WAIT A WEEK? I WOULD SAY, DO YOU WANT TO GIVE IT TO NEXT MEETING? OKAY.
WE CAN, UM, IF EVERYBODY WANTS TO COME IN WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED THAT DAY TO OUR NEXT MEETING, AND THEN FROM THAT MEETING WE CAN VOTE PEOPLE IN ON PEOPLE.
SO MY QUESTION IS, SO THEN IS, IS IS BILL THEN IN ESSENCE, BECAUSE THE BOARD OF THIS THROUGH THE YEAR? YEAH, BUT THE BOARD OF I I'M TALKING ABOUT START OH, SORRY, SORRY.
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ARE THE ONES THAT, THAT BASED ON OUR COORDINATES, IS HE IN ESSENCE GIVING US YEAH.
SO THEN WE'LL HAVE AN UPDATE AND BY NEXT MEETING SHE'S SENDING THIS OUT WITH TIM'S SIGNATURE TOMORROW.
AND, AND JUST TO LIKE, DON'T WANNA PUT YOU ON A SPOT, IS THAT A, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT AS BEING A POSSIBLE YEAH, I, I WOULD LOVE TO DO IT, BUT I IMAGINE I HAVE TO PUT IN AN APPLICATION FOR IT CUZ THERE MAY BE, I THINK WE'RE, I THINK WHAT THEY'RE SAYING, AND FROM WHAT I PUT IN MY LETTER TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IS I SAID THAT LIKE I DIDN'T WANT TO POSE JUST A PROBLEM WITHOUT A SOLUTION.
AND I SAID OUR, WHAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT IF THIS, IF YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THIS, IS WE HAVE A, UM, PERSON WHO HAS COME TO OUR, OUR MEETINGS IS A PARKSTON REP, YOU KNOW, OUT ENTHUSIAST.
I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE WORD I USED ENTHUSIAST.

AND THEN WHAT WHAT SUE WILL DO IS RESEND RESENDED INVITE THAT YOU'LL ACCEPT AND THEN IT'LL COME ON YOUR CALENDAR.
IT'S A SECOND LENGTH DAY OF EVERYTHING I'VE GOT ON THE CALENDAR.
AND THAT IS, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE AN ENTHUSIAST.
YOU'LL LET ME REPEAT GOOGLE DOC LINKS THAT YOU HEAR FROM WE SHARE.
YEAH, THAT WAS WHAT THE ACCEPTED CALENDAR INVITE WAS.
I DON'T KNOW IF SENT ME, I THINK SOME PEOPLE SENT ME A RESPONSE BACK, BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYBODY GOT IT AND EVERYBODY WANTED PEOPLE
[00:40:01]
TO YEAH, YOU JUST SEND OUT SOME MATTERS ERRORS.ARE YOU AWARE OF? I, HE TENDS ME.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT SHOW CHECK WITH YOU FORGOT.
UM, BUT YOU'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT GET THAT.
WAIT, WHAT DID YOU HEAR? WE GET A, A LOT OF VIRUSES.
I SENT A LOT OF THAT EMAIL AND THEY SHOWED THEM TO ME EVERY TIME.
LIKE AS SOON AS I GET THE TEXT FROM TA FROM TAYLOR, I'M LIKE, WHAT IS HAPPENING? I DO FULL SCAN EVERY TIME I
NO ONE ELSE DOES ANYTHING SO I DON'T, I DON'T.
SO I THINK THE LAST TIME YOU SENT IT I WAS LIKE STOP MESSING WITH ME.
IS IT GOING THROUGH GOOGLE? NO, IT'S MY PROFESSIONAL OUTLET.
IT'S NOT LIKE IF IT WAS GOOGLE IT PROFESSIONAL, IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN.
IT'S THE ONLY'S THE ONLY ONE THAT WARNS ME OF IT.
SO I KNOW NATE KEEPS LOOKING AT MY COMPUTER AND THEN WHEN I'M ON IT, YOU CAN SEE HIM ON IT ALSO.
DID YOU I HAVE GOTTEN THAT LIKE THIS IS NOT FROM AN APPROVED THING LIKE OPEN ANYWAY AND I JUST DID OPEN ANYWAY.
MAYBE NOT SO MUCH GOING FORWARD.
IT DEPENDS IF YOU TRUST ME OR NOT.
SO, UM, I AM LOOKING FOR TWO COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
UM, I'M NOT ASKING ANYONE INDIRECTLY AT THE TABLE.
I'M JUST ASKING YOU IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY WHO IS A VETERAN OR JUST REALLY LIKES TO VOLUNTEER IN THEIR RETIREMENT.
UM, AND I SAY RETIREMENT BECAUSE THE TWO COMMITTEE HEADS THAT I NEED, IT WILL BE A LOT OF COMMITMENT.
SO THE ONE IS OUR VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR.
THIS PERSON WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, UM, OBTAINING ALMOST 200 VOLUNTEERS AND THEN HAVING FIVE PEOPLE UNDERNEATH THEM THAT WILL DO THE SCHEDULING.
UM, MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE THERE, MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE TRAINED, MAKE SURE THAT UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE, IF WE NEED CLEARANCES, WE HAVE ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
AND THEN THAT COMMITTEE MEMBER WOULD REPORT TO ME DIRECTLY, UM, MAKING SURE ALL THIS STUFF IS BEING DONE WITH OUR TIMELINE.
UM, THE SECOND INDIVIDUAL THAT I'M LOOKING FOR, AND I WAS ACTUALLY GONNA ASK BLENDY, BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS, IT'S NOT GONNA BE A GOOD IDEA.
UM, I NEED A EDUCATION AND TOURS COMMITTEE PERSON AND THIS PERSON WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SCHEDULING TOURS WHILE THE WALL'S HERE.
SO IT WOULD BE, UM, GETTING THE LOCAL SCHOOLS FROM HERE TO PHILADELPHIA TO COME OUT.
IT WOULD BE CONTACTING THE ASSISTED LIVING CENTERS.
IT WOULD BE CONTACTING OTHER, UM, OTHER VENUES, COLEMAN SCHOOL.
UM, IT, PEOPLE KEEP FEEDING ME CONTACT THE PEOPLE TO REACH OUT TO, TO SCHEDULE THE TOURS MM-HMM.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY I NEED SOMEBODY THAT CAN COME IN AND ONCE A MONTH, ONCE A MONTH MEET WITH ME.
AND I'M HOPING BECAUSE EACH COMMITTEE MEMBER, THERE'S FIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND THERE'S TWO HEAD CHAIRS, WHICH IS MYSELF AND THE BOARD SUPERVISOR.
SO UNDERNEATH US IS FIVE PEOPLE.
AND THEN UNDERNEATH EACH OF THOSE PEOPLE SHOULD BE THREE TO FIVE PEOPLE THAT ASSIST THAT PERSON IN GETTING THEIR JOB DONE.
AND THEN UNDERNEATH LIKE THE VOLUNTEER PERSON, IT'S LIKE TRYING TO FIND LIKE GROUPS OF FIVE.
SO YOU SHOULD, WHEN THEY'RE PLAYING PICKLEBALL, YOU SHOULD GO OUT CAUSE THAT'S THE PERFECT PAGE.
AND MOST, MOST PEOPLE ARE RETIRED.
AND THEY'RE PROBABLY, BUT YOUR BUSY FRIEND PICKLE THE BALL.
WELL NOT THAT THEY, BUT THEY HAVE TO SIT DOWN, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE TO SIT DOWN.
THEY HAVE TO GET 'EM ON THEIR BREAKS.
SO THIS EDUCATION AND TOURS PERSON, UM, THEY WOULD HAVE FIVE PEOPLE UNDERNEATH THEM THAT HOOK.
SO WE'RE IN A POSITION TO KIND OF ASK LIKE I HAVE SOMEBODY IN MIND IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, HE'S LIKE A LOGISTICS GUY.
AND, UM, HE WAS LOOKING TO RETIRE.
BUT WHAT, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS LIKE APPROACH HIM AND THEN WOULD I HAVE HIM CONTACT YOU? ABSOLUTELY.
LIKE I COULD SEND HIM OR YOU KNOW, TELL HIM HE COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE, THE WALL HEELS AND YEAH.
SO YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT IT BUT THEN HAVE HIM CONTACT YOU DIRECTLY.
OH REALLY? ALL OF THE COMMUNITIES, ALL THE SENIOR COMMUNITIES? NO, ALL OF THE SENIORS.
[00:45:01]
YEAH, THEY'RE ACTIVE STILL.THEY'RE ACTIVE BUT THEY JUST, I MEAN I HAD SIX MICRO FOR ELECTION.
AS OPPOSED TO GOING CRAZY BEGGING PEOPLE.
AND I THINK TOO, LIKE BOTH OF THESE INDIVIDUALS, THE VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR AND THEN THE EDUCATION ENFORCE PERSON ARE GONNA HAVE TO BE LIKE VERY HAPPY IN THEIR COMMUNICATIONS.
IT'S REACHING OUT TO ALL THE SCHOOLS.
IT'S REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE AND BEGGING THEM TO GIVE UP THEIR TIME TO DO THE THING.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE I THINK WHEN THEY HEAR ABOUT LIKE, I'LL ABSOLUTELY VOLUNTEER.
IT'S NOT EXACTLY A SHOW UP AND YOU'RE, AND YOU'RE DONE TYPE OF VOLUNTEERING.
SO KIDS GOING FOR EAGLE SCOUT.
THEY'LL ALL BE AND THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT TO WORK IN THE BEHIND THE SCENES.
THEY WOULD BE UNDER THE, UNDER THE PHONE.
I'LL BE AS A CHAIRPERSON, BUT LIKE RIGHT.
THERE'D BE A GOOD SET OF GROUPS TO REACH OUT TO AND YOU KNOW, SOMEWHERE IN THERE THEY COULD REACH OUT TO, TO YOU AND REACH OUT TO JULIANA TO KIND OF BRING, SO YOU BE ABLE TO KIND OF POINT THEM, I HAVE YOUR HISTORY TEACHERS, I HAVE HIS INFORMATION AND BECAUSE MOST OF THIS GOLF WORK FOR THIS TYPE OF STUFF, I FEEL LIKE WILL HAVE TO BE DONE BEFORE THIS SCHOOL YEAR'S OVER REALLY? SO THEY CAN PUT IT ON FOR 20 23, 20 24.
UM, SO MY ORIGINAL THOUGHT WAS LIKE, I'LL GET THESE PEOPLE AND I CAN PROBABLY GET THEM FOR TEACHER THAT HAS A SUMMER OFF THAT WOULD LIKE LOVE TO DO THIS.
AND THERE'S ALL THESE CONNECTIONS TO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.
HOWEVER, THEY PROBABLY NEED TO REACH THESE PEOPLE BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR ENDS TO GET IT.
AND I HAVE A VERY STRICT TIMELINE FROM THE WALL THAT I NEED TO HAVE THIS PERCENTAGE OF VOLUNTEERS LIST READY TO GO.
AND THAT'S PRETTY SO YOU'RE PUTTING OUT, I'M SORRY.
MM-HMM
A VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR EDUCATION TOWARD US TO COME SEEK, YOU KNOW, ANYBODY.
AND THEN THE OTHER THREE ARE BEING COMMON HANDLED.
WE HAVE, UM, I HAVE JOHN KELLY AS MY LOGISTICS, MY SITE LOGISTICS COORDINATOR.
UM, I HAVE JOHN PEARSON DOING SPONSORSHIPS AND I HAVE UM, THE POLICE DOING OUR ESCORT AND PROCESSION AND SOME OF THE CEREMONIES.
SO I DIDN'T WANNA PULL, THIS IS A, I DIDN'T WANNA PULL TOO MANY INTERNAL U P T STAFF BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOT, NOT ACCEPTABLE BUT IT, EVERYBODY HAS A LOT ON THEIR PLATE SO IT'S HARD TO, ON TOP OF COMMUNITY DAY AND ALL THE OTHER EVENTS THAT I BEGGED YOU THESE GUYS TO COME TO.
NO, I THINK, I THINK IT'S GOOD.
IT'S GOOD TO REACH OUT TO CAUSE WE NEED TO GET SOME PEOPLE INTERESTED RIGHT.
AND I DID REACH OUT TO MY CONTACT OVER AT VALLEY FORGE BAPTIST CAUSE THEY ALWAYS HAVE A TON OF VOLUNTEERS.
SO I'M HOPING THAT MAYBE ONE OF THOSE POSITIONS, UM, COULD BE FILLED BY SOMEONE OVER THERE TOO.
SO IT DIDN'T REACH OUT TO MY CONTACT THERE.
DOES IT HAVE TO BE A RESIDENT OF UPPER PROVIDENCE? NO.
SO LIKE THE AMERICAN REGION AND THE VFW JOHN QUALIFY? YEAH.
IT CAN BE ANYONE THAT CAN REALLY, FOR INTERNAL USE, I NEED THEM TO BE ABLE TO GET TO MEETINGS.
I NEED THEM EITHER VIA ZOOM OR IN PERSON.
UM, THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK EXCEL CAUSE THAT'S WHERE ALL OF OUR STUFF IS AND BE ABLE TO WORK OUR WEBSITE.
UM, BECAUSE ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS AND ALL THE REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ON OUR WEBSITE.
SO IT'S GONNA BE BEING ABLE TO DOWNLOAD NEW ENTRIES, PUT THEM INTO THE EXCEL, SHARE IT WITH EVERYBODY.
IT'S, IT'S A HARDER GENERATION.
IT'S A HARDER GENERATION TO NAIL DOWN.
THAT'S WHY I WANNA, I THINK THIS LOGISTIC.
DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF, UM, HOW MANY MEETINGS A MONTH YOU WOULD BE LOOKING AT? RIGHT NOW WE'RE STARTING WITH ONE A MONTH.
SO OUR NEXT MEETING IS MARCH 2ND.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL ME TO DO THAT.
SO I THINK OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE'S REACHED OUT TO HIM.
I, I KNOW THAT JOHN, BECAUSE OF HIS PLACEMENT ON THE BOARD KNOWS THOSE PEOPLE BETTER THAN I DO.
SO I'M KIND OF HOPING OUR STATE SENATOR YOU JUST WEBSTER JOHN WEBSTER, HE WANTS, HE'S NEW TO OPPORTUNITY.
IF YOU WANNA CONNECT US, THAT'D BE GREAT.
I MEAN WE, YOU KNOW HIM, OUR STATE SENATOR.
I THINK THEY'LL APPRECIATE KNOWING THAT THIS IS COMING.
YOU KNOW, AND THEN MAYBE JUST LIKE THEY'LL HAVE WHAT CAPACITY THEY CAN HELP.
WELL THAT'S GOOD BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I DO NOT, SO AS, AS AN ACTION ITEM BIGGER THAN, THAN OUR, AS AN
[00:50:01]
ACTION ITEM WE'RE, WE'LL REACH OUT TO WHOEVER WE THINK IF YOU KNOW OF THEM AND THEN HAVE CONTACT FOR THOSE, THOSE POSITIONS.UM, SO WE ARE GOING TO FORGO HAVING A CAMP XO.
UM, THE REASONING BEHIND THAT WAS WITH OUR NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE EVEN GONNA DO CAMP REGISTRATIONS.
UM, WHAT WE REALLY LIKE ABOUT THIS NEW WEBSITE IS I CAN DO WHAT THEY CALL PLATFORMS. SO INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR PARENTS TO MAIL US THE CAMPER'S INFORMATION AND ALL THE WAIVERS AND ALL THE PERTINENT INFORMATION THAT I NEED FOR CAMP, THEY CAN DO IT ONLINE AND THEY HAVE TO DO THAT BEFORE THEY CLICK REGISTER.
SO I GET THAT BEFORE I EVEN GET THE PAYMENT.
SO WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING ALL OF THOSE FILES PUT INTO OUR SYSTEM.
AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT WE HAVE THINGS LIKE SIBLING DISCOUNTS OR SECOND TALENT DISCOUNTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT AREN'T REALLY WORKING IN OUR SYSTEM RIGHT NOW.
SO IT'S, WE DIDN'T WANNA RUSH AND GET THE CAMPEX SO DONE.
WE'RE STILL LEARNING THIS NEW SOFTWARE, SO, UM, WE'RE GONNA FOREGO IT THIS YEAR.
AND A LOT OF THE SPECIALTY CAMPS GENERALLY CAN'T MAKE IT.
SO IT'S, IT'S JUST US AND A COUPLE PEOPLE AND IT'S NOT REALLY THAT LIKE FUN ATMOSPHERE OF LIKE, WE HAVE A TON OF GAMES OUT AND IT'S DECORATED AND WE HAVE A THEME AND LIKE, IT JUST HASN'T BEEN THAT WAY IN A FEW YEARS.
SO IS THERE AN, IS THERE ANY NEW CAMPS THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT WE WOULD BE HIGHLIGHTING AT SOMETHING DIFFERENT? UM, WE'RE TRYING TO RUN A COUPLE DIFFERENT THEORY CAMPS THIS YEAR.
UM, SO WE'RE WORKING WITH, UM, WE RUN THEORY CAMPS BEFORE WITH A, UM, INDIVIDUAL, UM, AND THEN A COMPANY REACH OUT TO US TO SEE IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO ONE WITH US AS WELL.
UM, BUT WE DO THE BASICS FROM THE JUMPSTART CAMPS TO, UM, WE HAVE, UH, CHEST RESERVES AND, AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WE HAVE THE SAME AS WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS, WHICH IS, WHICH IS WHEN WE DO A DIFFERENT THEME IN A DIFFERENT WEEK.
WHICH IS KIND OF GOOD BECAUSE I THINK THE ONLY, THE ONLY ADVANTAGE OF AN EXPO IS WHEN WE WERE INITIALLY HIGHLIGHTING YES.
THE TYPES OF THINGS SPECIALTY CAMPS WERE IN AND THEY WERE INVESTIGATING.
SO THEY'RE DIFFERENT THEMES AND DONE A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY, BUT IF THEY'RE STILL LIKE, IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVE TO LIKE SHOW ANYBODY NO, THEY'VE ALL HEARD OF THEM BEFORE.
UM, CAMP IS CHANGING THIS YEAR.
SO, UM, INSTEAD OF DOING WEEKLY REGISTRATION, WE ARE ONLY, WHEN YOU SIGN UP, YOU'RE SIGNING FOR ALL SEASONS.
SO WE'RE ALLOWING 70, ABOUT 70 CAMPERS IN THIS YEAR.
EVERYTHING'S INCLUDED IN OUR PRICE.
SO WHEN KONA COMES OUT, WHEN HIS FILET COMES, ALL THE TRIPS, EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED IN THAT PRICE.
SO MOM, DAD, PARENT GUARDIAN CAN JUST SEND THAT BILL.
THEY, THEY PAY THAT ONE FEE AND WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING FOR SIX WEEKS.
WE TAKE OFF THE WEEK OF JULY 4TH BECAUSE GENERALLY THE KIDS AREN'T COMING THAT WEEK.
SO OTHERWISE WE'LL HAVE THE SPECIALTY CAMPS, WHICH WE NORMALLY NEVER DO.
SPECIALTY CAMPS WILL BE RUNNING FROM THE BEGINNING OF OUR SIX WEEK CAMP ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF AUGUST.
SO WE'LL HAVE THOSE SPECIALTY CAMPS THAT PARENTS DON'T WANT A BOOK, A SIX WEEK CAMP, THEY ONLY NEED A WEEK.
WE HAVE A SPECIALTY CAMP EVERY SINGLE VISIT.
SO WHAT DID YOU COME UP WITH THE PRICE FOR THE, THE SIX WEEK? SO WE HAD A SIX WEEK OPTION ALWAYS.
SO WE JUST COMBINED THEM ALL UHHUH.
SO I BELIEVE WE'RE DOING AN EARLY BIRD SPECIAL FOR RESIDENTS AND I BELIEVE THAT'S 9 75 FOR SIX WEEKS AND THAT'S EIGHT TO FOUR.
UM, PARENTS ARE WOR ARE PRETTY COMFORTABLE WITH PODCAST.
THAT'S ACTUALLY, WAIT, THEY GET LUNCH WITH THEM? SO YOU, YOU BRING THEIR LUNCH FRIDAYS EVERY OTHER FRIDAY WE BUY THEM CHICK-FIL-A.
THAT'S SO THE ONLY THING THAT LIKE IS WELL CAN BE WELL COMMUNICATED IS IF THEY SIGN UP FOR SIX WEEKS AND THEY GOT A VACATION, A WEEK VACATION PLANNED IN THERE, IT'S TOO GOOD.
CAUSE THAT WILL BE PERFECT QUESTION.
AND WHAT WAS SMART IS SOON, UM, WE'LL BE SENDING OUT THE INFORMATION REGARDING THE CHANGES TO CAMP.
SO WE DID A INFORMATIONAL SHEET WITH EVERY CAMP, INCLUDING OUR SIX WEEK.
AND THEN WE ALSO PUT A Q AND A WITH EVERY QUESTION THAT WE COULD COME UP WITH.
I'M SURE THERE'LL BE ONES THAT WE DIDN'T, BUT WE AT LEAST IT'S LIKE A THREE OR FOUR PAGE DOCUMENT THAT WILL GET SENT OUT TOO.
AND THAT'S CUZ USUALLY THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THAT IN THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY.
ARE PEOPLE CALLING AND FREAKING OUT? NO, BECAUSE WE DON'T USUALLY HAVE OURS LEAD END OF THE MONTH.
WE LET LIMERICK, WE LET LOWER PROVIDENCE GET THEIR STUFF OUT AND THEN WE, WE PUT OURS UP.
[00:55:02]
YEAH.SO, UM, WE JUST CUT THE FINALIZED, UM, JOB DESCRIPTIONS DOWN.
WE'RE GONNA BRING IN SOMEONE TO BE OUR SITE, UM, CAMP DIRECTOR COORDINATOR, IF YOU WILL.
SOMEONE THAT WORK WILL WORK DIRECTLY UNDER SARAH THAT WILL MAINTAIN THE DAILY OPERATIONS OF THE CAMP.
UM, WHERE WE ARE LOOKING FOR A TEACHER OR AN ADULT OR UM, A HIGHER LEVEL COLLEGE STUDENT THAT'S GONNA BE MAJORING IN EDUCATION, UM, TO COME IN AND DO THAT.
IF THE TEACHER OR HER, UM, POSSIBLE EMPLOYEE HAS A CHILD THAT WOULD GO TO THE CAMP, WE ARE GIVING THAT CAMP FOR FREE TO THAT INDIVIDUAL.
UM, AND THEN 40 HOURS NIECE IS A JUNIOR.
SHE'S EDUCATION'S, IT'S, IT'S YOUR PROMISE.
40 HOURS, BUT IT MIGHT BE MORE LIKE 45.
YEAH, IT'S, IT'S WHAT WE TRIED TO SELL IT AT IS THAT IT'S NOT USING, THERE'S NO WEEKENDS AND YOUR PROMISE 40 HOURS.
AND THIS IS FOR EVERY CAMP COUNSELOR.
SO IT'S JUNE THROUGH OR EARLIER THAN JUNE GET.
OH YEAH, NO, THIS WILL BE OUT THIS MONTH.
OH, I MEAN, NO, I MEAN FOR THE COUNTS.
YEAH, IT'S, IT'LL BE OUT THIS MONTH.
SO WE JUST NEED TO GET THAT APPROVED BY HR WITH WHAT REQUIREMENTS WE NEED BY THE STATE TO PUT ON OUR JOB DESCRIPTIONS, BUT WE'LL BE HAVING ALL THAT OUT AS SOON AS HR.
UM, AND YOU ALREADY HAVE A SALARY MM-HMM.
SO I THINK WHAT WE'RE, DEPENDING IF THAT PERSON FOR THE PSYCH COORDINATOR POSITION TAKES CAMP FOR THEIR CHILD, IT CAN VARY.
IF THAT PERSON DOESN'T HAVE KIDS OR DOESN'T NEED THE CA THE CHILDCARE, THEN IT'LL BE A COUPLE DOLLARS MORE PER HOUR.
UM, AND THEN IT'S, IT'S SOMEWHERE IN THE 2020, I THINK THREE RANGE AN HOUR.
AND THEN, UM, WE'RE TRYING TO COMPETE.
SO IT'S, IT'S, IT'S REALLY TOUGH WHEN WE'VE ALREADY HAD COUNSELORS, WHICH I'LL SAY THIS REALLY OUT LOUD, I WOULD NEVER DO THIS AS A TEEN, BUT, UM, IT'S NOT AN EASY JOB.
BUT THEY'RE ALSO COMING SAYING, OH, WELL CAN YOU INCREASE WHAT I MAKE BECAUSE I CAN JUST GET A JOB ANYWHERE FOR THIS PRICE.
SO IT'S LIKE, IF YOU DON'T WANT THIS JOB, THIS IS A VERY SPECIFIC JOB.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO COME IN KNOWING YOU'RE GONNA BE WITH LITTLE KIDS ALL DAY, YOU'RE GONNA BE OUTSIDE ALL DAY, YOU'RE GOING TO GET A LOT OF BENEFITS.
WE'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO SEE IF WE CAN WORK WITH SPRINGBOARD AND TV TO SEE IF IT CAN BE PART OF THEIR PROGRAM SO THEY CAN GET CREDITS FOR BEING COUNSELORS.
AND THAT WAY WE'LL EVALUATE THEM EVERY WEEK.
WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE PROGRESSING AND CHECKING OUT THE BOXES.
SO IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN, WE CAN GET ROLLING SOON.
HOPEFULLY I CAN GET MORE QUALIFIED CANDIDATES.
BUT EVERY SINGLE CAN COUNSELOR THAT WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST THAT WANT TO COME BACK TO SHARE WILL ALL BE RE-INTERVIEWED.
IT WILL ALL BE RESTRUCTURED, EVERYTHING WILL BE JOTTED IN COSTS BEFORE, UM, MAY.
SO AND JUST TO QUALIFY, I SAY IT'S NOT AN EASY JOB, BUT IT'S A GREAT TRAINING.
I MEAN, WORKING WITH THE KIDS, DEALING WITH THE PARENTS, THE COORDINATION ASPECT.
I, I MEAN IF IT'S SOMEBODY WHO, WELL THIS IS WHY WE MOVED IT TO SIX WEEKS INSTEAD OF A WEEK, UM, OR TWO WEEKS AT A TIME.
THE COUNSELORS GET TO KNOW THE KIDS A LOT BETTER WITH SIX WEEKS.
UM, THEY KNOW THE PARENTS WE'RE NOT PRINTING OUT A MILLION ROSTERS EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR DIFFERENT EVENTS.
WHO'S GOING TO THIS? WHO'S NOT GOING ON THAT? WHO'S HERE THIS WEEK? DID THEY CALL OUT SICK? IT'S, WE KNOW WHO'S HERE.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER THAT WAY BECAUSE WE'LL ALREADY KNOW OUR NUMBERS WHILE IN ADVANCE.
WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PLANNING TRIPS LAST MINUTE.
EVERYTHING CAN KIND OF BE COORDINATED EARLIER AND IT GIVES THE CAMPERS A BETTER EXPERIE.
I SEND MY OLDEST TO CAMP AND SHE GOES FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER, THE ONE CAMP.
AND SHE LOVES IT BECAUSE BY WEEK TWO SHE A HAS FRIENDS, SHE HAS RAISE THE COUNSELOR, SHE KNOWS WHERE THINGS ARE.
I THINK PARENTS WILL, WILL GRAVITATE TOWARD THAT.
THAT'S HOW WE'RE SELLING IT ANYWAY.
SO, UM, EXPECTATIONS FOR INCOME, I KNOW CAMPS ARE OUR BIGGEST MONEY MAKER MM-HMM.
SO I MEAN THIS, I KNOW WE'VE LOST MONEY WHEN WE STOPPED DOING IT AT ANDERSON AND BLACKROCK.
BUT THE EXPECTATION NOW IS OKAY WITH IT JUST BEING A BLACKROCK AND THEN WE'LL, WE'LL INCREASE IT IN THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS.
WE'LL EITHER GO BACK TO ANDERSON OR WE GO TO CHOIR HOUSE, WE'LL TRY TO FIGURE OUT A DIFFERENT LOCATION FOR THE OTHER SIDE OF CAMP.
YOU'RE GOING FOR DIFFERENT COUNSELOR APPROACH.
SO I MEAN, IF THEY'RE HAPPY WITH THE
[01:00:01]
AMOUNT OF MONEY IT'S BRINGING IN THIS WAY AND YOU LOOK TO EXPAND IT.HAVING THE ONES, THE EXTRA ONES ALWAYS LIKE THAT'S LIKE THE BASE OF REVENUE, BUT THAT ALSO INCREASES HOW MUCH SALARY.
LIKE THERE'S ALWAYS THAT DOUBLE EDGE SWORD OR WE OFFER IT THAT'S GREAT.
WE GET MORE MONEY AND WE ALSO HAVE TO PLAN THAT MANY MORE TRIPS.
GET THAT MINIMUM BUSE THAT MORE COUNT.
SO IT, IT DOES BLEND ITSELF TO BE TRICKY HERE.
BUT WE'RE ALSO NOT TOTALLY AGAINST HOW LIKE UPPER MARIA SCHOOL.
SO INSTEAD OF OURS BEING COMPLETELY OUTSIDE, LIKE WE STILL HAVE THAT OUTDOOR FIELD, BUT MAYBE WE'RE USING OAK ELEMENTARY ALZHEIMER'S, WE HAVE MORE KIDS THAT WANT THE KITCHEN.
YEAH, IT WAS, IT WAS, IT WAS WELL INTO THE FORTIES LAST YEAR.
SO WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT SAME THING.
WE HAVE AN EARLY BIRD, WHICH IS 9 75 AND THEN WE'LL HAVE IT UM, 72, 70 79 5 FOR YEAH, FOR, I'LL TAKE FOOD EIGHT.
UM, AND THEN DAYCARE WAIT MORE THAN MY MORTGAGE.
IS THAT, IS IT JUST FOR A RESIDENT? NO.
AND IS IT A DIFFERENT PRICE RANGE? BIRTHDAY RESIDENTS ONLY GET THE EARLY BIRTH SPECIAL.
SO THAT'S, UM, AND THEN, UM, WE HAVE IT AS PULL THIS UP.
IT'S ABOUT 1100 REGULAR PRICE FOR RESIDENTS AND THEN IT'S 12 FOR NINE IS ABOUT WHERE I THINK YOU SENT IT TO.
MY POINT WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S NICE TO HAVE RESIDENTS HAVE A LITTLE BIT, I MEAN THAT'S A BIG, UM, YOU KNOW, PARENTS LOOK FOR IT.
OBVIOUSLY IT'S A GOOD DEAL AND I THINK IT'S GREAT.
SIX WEEKS ON VERY BOARD AND IT'S GOOD FOR, IT'S GOOD FOR PARKS AND ROCKS.
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO GET MORE CLOSER TO THAT.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE MEANT HERE TO BE.
WE'RE NOT HERE TO BRING IN MONEY.
WE'RE NOT HERE TO GENERALLY, WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR PROP.
WE'RE TRYING TO SELF SUSTAIN EVEN AND CONTINUE TO OFFER AS MUCH AS WE ALRIGHT, GREAT.
AND THE THING IS, IS THE PUBLIC DOES SEEM SATISFIED WITH WHAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT.
WE DON'T GET ANY COMPLAINTS THAT WE'RE NOT OFFERING ENOUGH OR THAT THEY DON'T WE'RE AROUND OR WHAT WE'RE DOING.
SO I THINK WE'RE IN A GOOD, WE'RE IN A GOOD SPOT.
I THINK IN 2022, I JUST DID MY FINAL NUMBER FOR TIM AND WE HAD OVER 40 LARGE EVENTS, LIKE LARGE SPECIAL EVENTS AND WE OFFER, THE AMOUNT OF NUMBERS I PUT INTO THIS SPREADSHEET WERE JUST LIKE, IT WAS JUST A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL YOU SEE THOSE BIG NUMBERS, YOU JUST THINK THAT MONTHLY, LIKE, OH, WE'VE HAD A SPECIAL EVENT IN FEBRUARY, WE DON'T HAVE ONE IN UNTIL LIKE, AND THEN IT STARTS CALCULATING AND YOU'RE LIKE, HUH.
YEAH, THAT'S, WE DO PUT IN OUR TIME FOR SURE.
THANKS FOR THE, UM, CAMP UPDATES.
SO COMMUNITY CENTER UPDATE, UM, COMMUNITY CENTER'S DOING REALLY WELL.
WE'RE HAVING SOME HICCUPS WITH OUR NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM.
UM, BUT WE KNEW THAT WAS GONNA COME, SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH OUR BIGGEST ISSUE RIGHT NOW, IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SPREAD THIS WORD THAT IF YOU WERE A SILVER SEIZURES MEMBER, UM, IN ANY CAPACITY, NOT JUST WITH US, BUT THE Y ANYBODY, UM, ON DECEMBER 31ST, THAT WAS YOUR FINAL DAY.
JANUARY IS WHEN A LOT OF MEDICARE OR MEDICAL COMPANIES, INSURANCE COMPANIES STOPPED CARRYING SILVER SNEAKERS AND THEY WENT TO RENEW ACTIVE.
SO OUR BIG ISSUE NOW IS ALL THESE PEOPLE COMING IN THAT STILL THINK THEY'RE SILVER SNEAKERS CAUSE THEY DIDN'T SEE THE EMAIL, THEY DIDN'T GET THE LETTER, THEY DIDN'T NO.
THEY'RE COMING IN AND THEIR SPANS DON'T COUNT BECAUSE WE NEED THEIR RENEW ACTIVE NUMBER AND WE CAN'T GENERATE THEIR RENEW ACTIVE NUMBER.
WE CAN'T GO ON A WEBSITE LIKE WE FOCUS OVERTAKES AND GET THAT INFORMATION.
WE ACTUALLY NEED YOUR INSURANCE CARD TO EVEN LOOK IT UP.
WE NEED YOUR INSURANCE NUMBER.
SO WE'VE BEEN TELLING A LOT OF THE, UM, SO RECEIVE YOUR POPULATION.
[01:05:01]
IT'S BEEN A MONTH NOW OF YOU'RE STILL BUZZING THE WRONG WAY, WHICH MEANS THAT YOUR MEMBERSHIP HAS EXPIRED.YOU NEED TO CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND YOU NEED TO GET THIS NUMBER FOR US.
IT'S A DIG SHORT OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.
SO THAT'S OUR BIGGEST HICCUP RIGHT NOW IS, IS FIGURING OUT THOSE NUMBERS.
AND FOR, FOR MY END, SILVER SEEKERS, WHEN YOU ACT IN SILVER AND FIT ARE REALLY BENEFICIAL.
SO WHEN THEY DON'T SCAN IN OR THEIR STANDS DON'T COUNT, IT'S JUST YOU SAID A DEADLINE AND SAY WE DID.
IF THIS DATE, IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, THEN YOU'RE NOT GAINING ENTRY.
SO WE TRY TO PUT DATE OF UM, JANUARY.
THEN THEY SENT I'M HOME WITH A FORM SO THEY CAN FILL IT.
THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE NUMBER SHOULD BE.
THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'VE JUST BEEN SAYING LIKE WE'VE BEEN PRINTING OFF THE RENEW ACTIVE INFORMATION AND THEN GIVING IT TO THEM AND SAYING LIKE, THIS IS THE NUMBER YOU NEED TO CALL THAT GET ACCESS TO YOUR STUFF.
THERE'S, THERE'S ACTUALLY WITH, CAUSE I JUST DIDACTIVE, OKAY, SO THERE'S, THERE'S ACTUALLY A, A WEBSITE.
WHEN YOU CALL THE INSURANCE, THEY JUST TELL YOU TO GO TO A WEBSITE.
I CAN LET YOU KNOW WHAT THE WEBSITE THAT'D BE GREAT.
YOU HAVE THAT THEY NEED YOUR INSURANCE NUMBER.
BUT IF YOU, IF YOU HAVE THAT WEBSITE AND THEY HAVE THEIR MEDICARE NUMBER, THEN YOU CAN DO IT THAT IN THERE THEN IT'S IT'S AN A NUMBER.
AND A LOT OF THEM FOR SOME REASON, LIKE IT'S EITHER THEY DON'T HAVE IT, THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT INSURANCE PART IS.
IT'S ALWAYS LIKE, OR SILVER SNEAKERS TIME.
THERE'S 40 ODD PEOPLE IN THERE.
SO THEY ALL, THAT'S RUSHING YOU AT ONE TIME.
AND THEN WE'RE LIKE, JUST WRITE YOUR NAME HERE, WE'LL GRAB YOU ON YOUR WAY OUT AND WE'LL GRAB YOU TOMORROW.
SO IT'S, DOES IT HAVE TO BE DONE ONLINE? LIKE IS THE ONLY WAY TO LINK TO, IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO SEE YOUR NUMBER IS IF YOU, IF YOU GO ONLINE OR CAN YOU CALL, CAN THEY CALL WHILE THEY'RE STILL THERE? MOST PEOPLE HAVE A CELL PHONE, RIGHT? YEAH.
ALSO, NO, I DON'T REMEMBER IF THEY JUST SAID NO, YOU HAVE TO GO ONLINE BUT MAY THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY THAT I DON'T THINK THEY WERE PREPARED FOR THIS.
YEAH, THE RENEW ACTIVE PEOPLE, THEY WERE NOT PREPARED.
THE AMOUNT OF WORKING FOR ACTIVE WERE PREPARED TO HANDLE THE VOLUME OF PEOPLE THAT WAS AND THEIR WEBSITE WAS DOWN FOR QUITE A WHILE.
SO THAT GAVE US THE HICCUP OF, WELL NOW NONE OF US CAN NEED TO GET YOUR INFORMATION.
SO IT'S JUST KINDA LIKE SIGN THIS WAIVER FOR 2023.
YEAH, WE'LL TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT LATER.
SO AT THE RISK OF BEING, UM, FRANKIE, I MEAN CAN CAN YOU PRETTY MUCH TELL THEM LIKE, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, THIS IS YOUR THIRD TIME.
YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU, YOU CAN'T, WE'RE NOT BE LETTING YOU IN UNLESS YOU HAVE THE PROPERTY.
THEY'RE NOT THE MOST CAN YOU GET BACK OR NOT? THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.
THAT'S WHAT MAUREEN'S BEEN WORKING ON ALL WEEK IS TO SEE EVEN ON OUR WEBSITE THAT WE CAN PUT THEM IN AGAIN FOR TIME THAT WE MISSED.
BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE WE'RE FINDING THAT $6 NOT DAY EXCEPT THEY COME.
SO IF WE HAVE 40 GIRLS, BOYS COMING IN.
SO THINK OF IT IN TERMS OF IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT AND YOU JOIN THE COMMUNITY, YOU'VE SENT THERE FOR A MONTH, IT'S SPLIT $30 A MONTH.
A SILVER SNEAKERS PERSON, IF THEY GO IN 10 TIME HALF A MONTH, SO THEY $60, THEY GET MORE MONEY THEY GET.
SO IT, IT'S, IT'S KEY AND AND IT AND IN ALL IT'S A GREAT SERVICE TOO.
WE OFFER THEM A LOT OF BENEFITS.
WE WILL DEFINITELY SPREAD THE WORD IN OUR LIKE PICKLE.
SPREAD IT FORMS ANY GOOD FORMS. YEAH.
UM, SO THAT'S REALLY THE COMMUNITY CENTER UPDATE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF PROGRAMS. IT'S REALLY HARD TO GO THROUGH ALL THOSE PROGRAMS ON THE LATEST ACTIVITY GUIDE, WHICH CAN BE FOUND ON OUR PARK AMERICA WEBSITE LEAVE.
AND IT'S ON OUR COUNTRY WEBSITE.
MY, MY QUESTION WAS WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE LIBRARY WORK? UM, I, I KNOW
IT THE OTHER AND THEN I CAN FORMULATE, FORMULATE AN ANSWER.
SO, UM, P AND R CONSORTIUM, SO I STARTED THIS WHEN I FIRST CAME ON AND THEN WITH COVID WE STOPPED DOING IT FOR BASICALLY THE PNR CONSORTIUM.
I MEET WITH LYER P AND R COLLEGE BILL TRAP, LAURA PROFITING, PHOENIXVILLE AND WHOEVER ELSE IS INTERESTED IN JOINING OUR, OUR FORCES.
BASICALLY IT'S A VERY LONG MEETING.
WE GO OVER ALL OF OUR YEARLY EVENTS MAKING SURE WE'RE NOT ON THE SAME DATE, MAKING SURE WE'RE NOT OFFERING THE SAME EXACT THINGS OR OFFERING EVEN THE SAME TALENT.
SO WE WENT THROUGH ALL OF OUR CONCERTS FOR THE SUMMER TO MAKE SURE MY FIRST YEAR, I THINK US COLLEGEVILLE AND LIMERICK ALL HAD THE
[01:10:01]
SAME BAND THE SAME MONTH.IT WAS JUST ONE WEEK AFTER EACH OTHER.
SO IT'S HALTING, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE OFFERING BETTER SUITING OUR NEEDS VERSUS WHAT THEY CAN DO.
SO IT WAS A REALLY GOOD MEETING.
IT WAS ALMOST TWO AND A HALF HOURS OF JUST VENTING, GETTING INFORMATION OUT TO EACH OTHER.
WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT SUMMER CAMP, A LOT ABOUT COMMUNICATION IN REGARDS TO LIKE WHAT FEATURES ARE YOU GUYS USING? LIKE WHO DO YOU HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH? DO YOU HAVE A DJ, DO YOU HAVE THIS, DO YOU KNOW ANY BUBBLE MACHINE PEOPLE? LIKE JUST RANDOM THINGS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT THAT'S EASIER IN PERSON.
CAUSE THE CONVERSATION GETS STARTED AND THEN MILLION PEOPLE HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.
IT'S NOT JUST LIKE AN EMAIL LIKE, HEY ROERS FOR DO YOU, YOU KNOW, WHAT DATE IS YOUR STUFF? AND THEN YOU'RE TRYING TO COMPILE IT ALL THROUGH.
SO IT WAS A REALLY GOOD UM, SESSION.
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T THERE WERE ROERS FOR, BUT UM, IT WAS A REALLY GOOD AND SO WE'LL MEET QUARTERLY AND GET OUT ALL THAT KIND OF FUN INFORMATION, UPGRADES ON THEIR PARKS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, AND THEN THAT LEADS ME INTO OUR PARTNERSHIPS BECAUSE WE'RE NOW PARTNERING WITH A LOT OF THESE OTHER PARK DEPARTMENTS OR LIKE THE CDCC, UM, TRAP DOESN'T REALLY HAVE A PARK AND REC, IT'S MAINLY VOLUNTEERS.
AND THE MAYOR, THE BOROUGH MANAGER TRAP, UH, MARCUS ACTUALLY RUNS THE PARTNERSHIP DEPARTMENT AS WELL.
SO WE'RE WORKING WITH PAMELA TRYING TO SAY LIKE, YOU DON'T WORRY ABOUT OFFERING IT, WE'LL OFFER IT, YOU ADVERTISE IT OR YOU PUT IN THIS AMOUNT, I'LL PUT IN THIS AMOUNT AND WE'LL HOST IT.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRY TO DO THAT ON YOUR OWN.
SO ON TOP OF LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS, WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CHAMBER REALLY CLOSELY ON, UM, A COUPLE EVENTS AND WE'RE LOOKING WITH, UM, AIR RAID, LIKE I SAID, AND UM, TOWN CENTER.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S MY, MY MASHUP.
KEEPING YOU BUSY AIR, WHICH IS AIR RAID.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WAS THE NAME.
SO THEY'RE AIR RAIDER FARM NOW, SO THEY MIGHT THE LIGHTS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENT FOR
FORSBURG, COLLEGEVILLE, TRAP LIMERICK.
IF WE GO INTO OTHER I KNOW IT'S JUST IF YOU'RE NOT PREPARED TO TALK ABOUT NO.
THE LIBRARY, WE COULD TABLE THAT.
I I WAS JUST CURIOUS CAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A TIME, I KNOW YOU HAVE MONEY THAT KIND OF HAVE TO BE SPENT FOR THAT DIRECTLY.
SO I THINK THEY'RE JUST HAVING, UM, SOME ISSUES ON THEIR END WITH STAFFING TO GET PEOPLE OVER TO OUR SITE.
THE HOPE WAS IN 2022 THAT WE WOULD HAVE A TWIG BRANCH OF THE MON LIBRARY IN WHAT WE NOW USE AS THE PODCAST ROOM.
SO EVERY MONTH THEY WOULD COME IN AND CHANGE OUT THE BOOKS.
THERE WOULD ALL BE NEW RELEASES AND IT WOULD BE ADULTS AND KIDS.
UM, THEY WOULD HAVE A CHECKOUT SYSTEM THERE.
WE WOULD BE ABLE TO, UM, RETURN BOOKS TO OUR SITE AND THE LIBRARY WOULD COME, COME UP.
WE WOULD BE ABLE TO RESERVE BOOKS FROM THE NORTHTOWN LIBRARY OR WORD AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO BE DROPPED OFF AT OUR LOCATION.
AND PEOPLE, WHEN THEY COME INTO WORK AT, WE'RE GONNA DO STORY TIMES AND WE'RE GONNA DO SOME SPECIAL EVENTS.
LIKE THEY ALWAYS BRING IN, UM, SOME OF LIKE THE CUTTING ZOOS AND LIKE FUN EDUCATIONAL THINGS THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF.
UM, AND IT JUST, IN OTHER THAN SHORT TIME, NOTHING BROKE GROUND IN 2022.
SO I'M HOPEFUL FOR 2023, UM, I THINK THE MOST WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO IN 23 IS ADD IN, UM, MORE EVENTS AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS WITH THEM.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL BE ABLE TO DO THE LIBRARY CONVERSION.
HOPEFULLY YOU'LL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
UM, ANY OTHER WHAT KIND OF 15 MINUTES YOU COULD TALK ABOUT? ANY OTHER ITEMS? UM, ANYTHING, ANYBODY? BATHROOM.
OH, UM, ONE OF SOMETHING ELSE I THOUGHT COMING INTO MY HEAD THAT I WAS LIKE, OOH, SHE'S GONNA LOVE UM,
OH HE DOESN'T LOVE A GOOD BATHROOM.
SO WE ARE WORKING, GETTING THE, THE FINALIZED PLANS FOR THEM TO OUR, TO GET PERMIT FOR THEM TO GET 'EM APPROVED BY ZONING, GET HIM APPROVED BY SAM AND THEN START BREAKING GROUND OR AT LEAST ORDERING SUPPLIES.
THE BIGGEST HICCUP WE'RE GONNA FACE WITH IT IS GETTING, IT'S STILL A DELIVERY ISSUE AND WORKING
[01:15:01]
ISSUE.SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET EVERYTHING IN.
WE DID HAVE TO ADD SOME COMPONENTS, LIKE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OUTLOOK ON THE OUTSIDE WATER, OUTSIDE BUILDING, CERTAIN LITTLE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO TWEAK AND THEN THEY HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DRUG BOARD THEN TO CHANGE THE AMOUNT IT WAS.
IT JUST TAKES WEEKS UNFORTUNATELY.
SO, UM, WHERE WE THOUGHT WE WERE READY FOR LIKE, LET'S GO, WE STAKED IT IN JUNE.
IN, IN MIDDLE OF DECEMBER, WE STAKED EVERYTHING AND I, AND THEN I REALIZED THAT IT PROBABLY WON'T BE IN UNTIL LIKE THE LATE SPRING, EARLY SUMMER PROBABLY WHEN WE GET ALL THE SUPPLIES IN.
BUT UM, SO THE HOOP IS THAT WE HAVE IT FOR CAMP.
SO THEY USUALLY HAVE CAMP AT THE DOUBLE SIDE OF PAVILION ANYWAY, SO THEY HAVE THE RESTROOM THERE.
UM, AND THEN IF NIGHT, BECAUSE THEY TAKE LIKE THIS NATURE WALK THAT THEY CALL IT AND THEN THEY GO A VERY LONG CONVOLUTE WAY TO GO TO THE PLAYGROUND.
SO IT TAKES THEM MORE TIME TO GET THEM OVER TO THE NEW PLAYGROUND.
BUT WELL SHE WAS GOING DIFFERENT DIRECTION WITH NATURE WALK AND BATHROOM.
I WASN'T SURE WHERE YOU WERE GOING.
NOT ON THE RECORD, BUT YEAH, HOPEFULLY, UM, HOPEFULLY THEY'RE READY BY COMMUNITY IS KIND OF WHAT I'M LOOKING AT.
I PUSH TO HAVE THEM DONE BEFORE JUNE HITS SO WE HAVE 'EM READY FOR CAMP, BUT I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T THINK IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
SO IT'S ALREADY SEPARATED OR NOT.
WE'RE NOT WITH THE FINAL PLAN YET.
SO HEY, THE GOOD NEWS IS THE PROOF, IT'S 2023.
IT'S COMING AND IT'S COMING THIS YEAR.
IT'S GONNA COME WHEN IT COMES.
UM, THE ONE THING I FORGOT TO PUT IN HERE UNDER NEW BUSINESS IS THAT I DID GET APPROVAL TO TINT THE WINDOWS IN THE GYMNASIUM.
SO ALL THE WINDOWS, THE LOWER ONE EVERY WINDOW EXCEPT THE VERY HIGHEST PEAK ON THAT MAROON WALL, THE PLAYGROUND.
I DO NOT HAVE A LIFT THAT CAN GET ME UP TO THE AND THAT'S THE KILLER ONE.
WELL FROM WHAT THE TICKET THAT'S TOLD ME WHEN HE CAME IN, HE CAME IN ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO CHECK WHICH ONES WERE MORE SEVERE THAN OTHERS.
AND HE WAS HAPPY WITH IS I CAN TAKE EVERYTHING ELSE AND COVER IT AND HE'S LIKE, IF I'M ON THE LIFT AND I CAN GET TO IT, GREAT.
BUT IF THE LIFT DOESN'T GET THAT HIGH AND IT'S IN THE WALL.
AND THE LIFT DOESN'T GO IN, IT JUST GOES UP AND DOWN.
SO HE'S LIKE, IF IT'S A STATE OF THE ISSUE, WE'RE GONNA BACK OFF AND WE'LL GET TO IT WHEN WE CAN'T.
AND THEN LIKE, THAT'LL 60 DAYS AWAY OR OH, THIS IS AS SOON AS THEY GET THEIR UM, FIRST PO SENT TO THEM.
ONCE I, ONCE I, THEY GET THEIR FIRST CHECK, THEY'RE COMING.
SO BE WARY THOUGH BECAUSE THEY'LL BE IN THERE WHEN YOU MIGHT WANNA PLAY.
SO WE CAN'T BE, THEY'LL BE THE PARKS LADY THAT I CAN'T PLAY PICKLEBALL.
LUCKY NOW LIKE YOU'RE NOW I HAVE LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE ON THE BOARD WHO PLAY PLAYED PICKLEBALL.
WE DO HAVE WE GET PIECE OF PAPER
THIS IS, THIS IS A PRETTY MAJOR ONE.
WELL IS IT THE BALL COLORS BECAUSE THEY HOW ORDER THE WRONG ONE.
UM, I THINK WE CAN DO WITH YOU DID GREAT AND YOU COUNTED EACH.
AND THEY STILL HAVE IT AS THE MODEL FOR EVERYBODY ELSE.
I HAVE A BACK ACCENT SO THAT'S WHY I KNEW YOU DID IT.
UM, IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY, UH, PRAISING THE BASKETBALL MESS AND PUTTING THREE COURTS IN AND MAKING 'EM ALL GREEN LINES AND YOU ARE HAVE A LOT OF FANS.
UM, HERE'S MY ONLY THE SITUATION IS, IS THE LINES THAT ARE ALREADY THERE OR UNDER LAYERS OF I FIGURED THAT YOU WERE THE NEXT TIME WE REDO THE COURT, IT WOULDN'T BE IMPOSSIBLE TO DO THAT.
IT'S JUST, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TIME, THE LIFESPAN OF THE RESURFACE THING.
I BELIEVE THEY DID IT WHEN I FIRST CAME ON THAT WE HAD THAT CHECKED DOWN.
SO THAT'S, THIS IS ITS FIFTH YEAR.
SO IF IT'S SOON THEN YES WE CAN ACCOMMODATE.
AND I BELIEVE THE ONLY THING WE TURNED OFF, WE HAD TO TURN OFF SOME OF THE VARIATIONS THAT OUR FOOD CAUSE MECHANICS WERE BREAKING.
BUT I BELIEVE THEY CAN ALSO RISE UP THIS WAY.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? THAT'S ALL THEY NEED, RIGHT?
AND SO, SO THEY'LL BE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
BUT IT'S BEEN RAISED AND IT'S BEEN RAISED NEXT OPPORTUNITY.
AND WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE TIMELINE OF THAT? ACTUALLY JUST EMAIL ME ABOUT THAT.
CAUSE I SAID IT IN THE PARK LOT.
UM, SO IT IS IN THE PARK PLAN TO DO THAT THIS YEAR.
THE ISSUE THAT CAME UP WAS BECAUSE PUBLIC WORKS IS NOW GOING TO BE MOVING THEIR FACILITIES, THEY'RE BUILDING A NEW PUBLIC WORKS FACILITIES ON MY FIRST BASEBALL FIELD IN TERMS OF PAVILION.
IT'S GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL FOR THEM.
SHOULD WE GET, HAVE INDOOR PICKLEBALL?
[01:20:01]
THEY ALL SOTHEY'RE GROWING SO MUCH AND WE HAVE THEM DO LIKE EVERYTHING.
SO, UM, THE THOUGHT WAS THAT FIELD SIX AND THIS IS ALL ON THE PARK MASTER PLAN FIELD SIX, WHICH IS WAY OVER HERE, THE EMPTY FIELD WAY OUT BY THE REAR.
UM, IF YOU'RE AT THE PLAYGROUND, YOU KEEP GOING DOWN THAT DRIVEWAY BY THE TEDDY.
THAT HE THE FIELDS BEYOND, BEYOND THE BASKETBALL.
OH, PAST THE BASKETBALL? NO, BEFORE THE BASKETBALL.
IT GOES DOWN THE GOLIA AND THEN YOU'RE ON THE FIELD.
UM, SO THE FIRST THOUGHT WAS UM, BECAUSE I DON'T ALLOW BIKES IN THE STATE PARK, WE GOT A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT.
I WANTED TO MOVE THE STATE PARK INTO A PUMP TRACK THAT WOULD BE LOCATED ON FIELD SIX, WHICH IS WAY OUT THERE.
I WAS GONNA TAKE THAT FACILITY THAT'S ALREADY FENCED IN AND IS THE PERFECT SIZE AND MAKE, SINCE THEY'RE TAKING OVER THIS, I AM NOW LOSING A BALL FIELD.
SO THE THOUGHT IS NOW I'M ACTUALLY MEETING WITH, UM, A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, UM, NEXT WEEK.
UM, TO SEE HOW I CAN REPURPOSE WHAT I HAVE NOW BECAUSE THE LIKELIHOOD OF PEOPLE RENTING THE OTHER BALL BALL FIELD OVER ON THIS SIDE IS SLIM TO NONE BECAUSE NOW THEY DON'T HAVE BACK TO BACK FIELD.
THEY CAN DO 20 MINUTES OR EXTRA PLAY ON.
SO, AND WITH THAT PLAYGROUND BEING RIPPED UP IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO, THERE'S NOT GONNA BE MUCH OVER ON THIS SECTION.
SO THE PLAN WAS WE'LL PUT A MULTIPURPOSE FIELD ON FIELD SIX AND PHOENIX FIELD JUST OPENED THE B OR IS OPENING IN THE SPRING.
A BMX COURSE THAT I WAS GOING TO BUILD.
SO PHOENIXVILLE IS ALREADY DOING IT, SO I'M NOT, I'M NOT DOING IT.
UM, SO WHAT WE DID, NO ONE LIKES THIS, BUT WE DID PUT PICKLEBALL COURTS ON OUR BASKETBALL COURT.
IS IT HARD TO SEE A HUNDRED PERCENT? YES.
WE DID IT IN A PINCHING COVID.
WE HAD THE MONEY AT THAT POINT.
SO WE PUT PICKLEBALL COURTS LINED IN AND WE'RE TAKING THE OLD PICKLEBALL NETS THAT WERE FROM THE CENTER AND BRINGING OVER HERE SO THAT THEY'RE HERE, UM, FOR PEOPLE TO USE.
SO RIGHT NOW THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GONNA STAY.
AND THEN I NEED TO REPURPOSE AND REDESIGN THIS ENTIRE CAMPUS.
CAUSE NOW OUR INITIAL PLAN FOR COMPLETELY WITH THEM MOVING THEIR BUILDING HERE, PLAYGROUND, TAKING THE OTHER FIELD THAT WAS THERE BEFORE.
I'M NOW AT LOT FIELDS TO THE POINT WHERE WE PULL TOWARDS THIS COMPLETING ISSUE.
SO IT'S JUST, IT'S FIGURING OUT WHERE THE TOWNSHIP IS HEADED.
DO THEY NEED MORE BALL FIELDS? IS ALL PURPOSE FIELDS THE BETTER ROUTE TO GO.
SO THAT I CAN SAY, OKAY, WELL WE WON'T WITH ALL PURPOSE FIELDS, I CAN USE THEM ANYTHING AND THEN I CAN REPURPOSE WHEN THE SKATE PARK GOES.
I CAN STILL PUT PICKLEBALL COURSE IN, BUT THAT'S STILL GOOD FOR A COUPLE MORE.
SO IT'S, SO LIKE THE PLAN TO PUT IN A FRESHLY DONE WENT OUT THE WINDOW WHEN THE APPROVAL OF MOVING FOR SARAH.
WE WOULD, SO IT IT'S COMING CONVERSATION.
THE FIRST HOUSE AT HARD DRIVEWAY, HE MIGHT BE LOOKING, IT WOULD JUST BE HOW MUCH, CAUSE WE CAN'T GO ABOVE WHATEVER THE MARKET VALUE, FAIR MARKET VALUE IS FOR THE HOUSE.
SO BECAUSE THERE'S MOVING MARKET HERE, HE WANTS 200, 300 GRAND OVER ASKING TOWNSHIP CAN'T DO IT.
THE CHURCH MIGHT, THE CHURCH MIGHT GO SO, AND THEN IT IN LIES IN, OR IF THEY PUT UP FOR THE MARKET AND BUY IS THOSE TWO PROPERTIES.
NOW I HAVE A FIELD THAT IS IN DIRECT, IN THE DIRECT BACKYARD AND IS ONLY SEPARATED BY
SO IT'S PUTTING SOMETHING THERE THAT'S NOT GONNA MAKE PRESIDENTS MAD BUT ALSO GIVING THE REST.
SO, SO JUST TO CONFIRM, LIKE SO WE CAN TELL OUR PICKLEBALL PEOPLE SO IT WE'RE TALK, WE'RE LOOKING AT IT AND IT'S DID YOU LIKE PULL STRING AND BE LIKE, I KNOW HER I'LL GET IT THROUGH.
THEY JUST, NO, I'M JUST KIDDING.
THEY, I MEAN THE GOOD NEWS IS LIKE I'M TRYING TO LOOK AT IT.
BECAUSE I THINK NO, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE EYES AND EARS, RIGHT? OH ABSOLUTELY.
SO WE'RE GETTING, AND IT'S A VERY, YOU KNOW, IT'S A BIG POPULATION.
YOU CAN SERVICE LIKE WELL AND WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO TOO, CAUSE I DON'T HAVE IT, I KNOW TRAP WAS TELLING ME THEY'RE PUTTING, SO IT'S, IF I'M NOT DOING IT AS QUICKLY, I CAN START SENDING PEOPLE LIKE I CAN'T, I CAN'T DO IT.
LET'S JUST SAY GO TO CO GO DO COLLEGEVILLE OR TRAP BECAUSE THEY JUST PUT IN ALL BRAND NEWPORT AND MARKETS WITH LOVE SCHOOLS.
LIKE I THINK THAT'S THE NEW REGIONALIZATION THAT THE TOWNSHIP'S LOOKING FOR TO SAY LIKE, THAT'S
[01:25:01]
GOOD.WE ALL DON'T HAVE TO PUT THESE IN.
I'M GONNA SEND EVERYBODY TO YOU.
I THOUGHT WHEN WE DID THE MASTER PLAN THOUGH, WE WERE LOOKING AT MCFARLAND.
WE HAVE A, WE HAVE THEM THERE AS WELL.
PICKLEBALL WAS IN THE PARK MASTER PLAN FOR HERE.
UM, AND THEN IT WAS FOR MCFARLAND AND WE'RE GONNA PUT THEM IN SOMEWHERE ELSE.
AND I MOVED THEM HERE CAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT CASE AVAILABLE.
WHICH, WHICH IF WE'RE GOING TO BE USING THE BASKETBALL COURT YES.
CAN THAT SOMEHOW BE CLEANED UP A LITTLE BIT? YES.
IS THAT EVEN A DOABLE THING? CAN IT BE RESURFACED? I SURFACED? THIS IS A, IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT SURFACE FROM LIKE THE TENANT.
RIGHT? SO THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S ONE OF THOSE LOWER EXPENSES THAT IS A LOT EASIER FOR ME TO DO.
I MIGHT HAVE TO BE DOING THE TENNIS COURT THAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO IT AS WELL.
WE HAVE A HUGE CRACK GOING DOWN IT THAT WE FILL THIS ASPHALT FOR NOW.
BUT IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL SAVE THE LIFE FOR EIGHT, 10 YEARS AND WE CAN DO IT FOR THERE AS WELL.
YOU CAN PARTNER WITH THAT MOMENT AND GET IT DECENT DEAL.
BECAUSE I THINK YOU'LL GET MORE PEOPLE.
I DON'T THINK PEOPLE ARE EVEN WILLING TO COME OUT.
RIGHT NOW WE'VE PLAYED ON THE BASKETBALL COURTS AND IT'S, IT'S NOT GREAT.
IT WAS JUST THE OPTION WE HAD AT THE TIME AND, AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GRATEFUL THAT THEY WERE THERE.
BUT IT'S NOT ABSOLUTELY FROM SATISFIED.
I, I THINK THE, THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE CAN REPORT TO THE POPULATION THAT IT'S ON THE, IT'S ON UM, EVERYBODY'S MINDS.
WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT THE NEIGHBORING TOWNSHIPS ARE DOING.
EARLIEST WE COULD FORESEE DOING IT WOULD BE 25, 26 UNLESS SOMETHING CHANGES.
I THINK THE ATTENDING'S GONNA HAPPEN A LOT.
WELL, I THINK IT'S GONNA BE THE RUN.
I WOULD PUT THAT ON THE CALENDAR THOUGH.
IF YOU ARE GONNA TENT ON THE CALENDAR WE HAVE.
CAN YOU JUST CROSS OFF PICKLE BALL FOR THAT DAY AND ATTENDING? UM, AS SOON AS I KNOW WHEN THEY'RE SCHEDULED TO COME, THEN IT WILL BE POSTED EVERYWHERE.
I KNOW TUESDAY THAT WAS ADDED, SO THAT WAS NICE.
UM, I HAVE, I HAVEN'T YET ANOTHER PICKLEBALL.
SO LIKE, NOW THAT I'VE GONE TO THE, THE TENNIS SCHOOL SHOP, UM, I, I MENTIONED IT TO THE WOMAN AND SHE SAID, HEY, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO HAND OUT FLYERS? AND I SAID, HEY, WOULD YOU BE BE WILLING TO DONATE SOME PICKLE BALLS OR, OR SOMETHING.
I SAID I'D BRING IT UP IN THE BOARD MEETING AND UM, JUST BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN PUT THESE OUT WHEN YOU HAVE THE CLINIC MM-HMM.
I DON'T WANNA BE LIKE IS THE TENNIS SHOP DOING THE CLINIC? NO, NO.
IT'S OUR FREE GUYS, RIGHT? YEAH, IT'S OUR FREE GUYS.
SO THAT'S WHERE I WAS LIKE TENANT THE CLINIC'S FOR HELP.
I MEAN, IT'S A LOCAL BUSINESS.
LIKE, LIKE I WAS, I MADE PUSH AND SAY, LISTEN, WE'D BE HAPPY TO HAND THESE OUT, BUT LIKE IT'S A FREE CLINIC.
LIKE EVEN IF YOU JUST DONATE LIKE THREE SLEEVES OF BALLS, LIKE I IS THAT UNREASONABLE? NO.
AND THEN, OR SHE CAN, SHE CAN EVEN LIKE POST IT.
SO SHE HOSTS THE, IF SHE SPONSORS THE PICKLEBALL, UM, I THINK SHE SHOULD DO THAT.
WHAT WE WHAT WAS, WHAT'S INVOLVED WITH IT THOUGH? CAUSE FRIDAY IT ONLY BE THE PICKLEBALL.
SO IF SHE SPONSORED IT, MAYBE SHE'S COMING OUT WITH LIKE A RAFFLE LABEL THAT HAS ALL OF HER LOGO ON IT.
SHE CAN GIVE UP HER BUSINESS CARD.
SHE HAS THE TABLE SET UP THERE WITH SNEAKER.
MAYBE SHE HAS WHAT'S INVOLVED, WHAT WOULD THE COST BE THOUGH FOR HER TO SPONSOR ANYTHING? WELL, BECAUSE THERE'S NO CONSTITUTION, SHE WOULD JUST, SHE WOULD JUST SET UP A TABLE.
LIKE WE'RE WE'RE INVITING HER FOR NO COST.
WE WOULD INVITE HER TO DO THAT.
EVERYONE A BALL'S REALLY GOOD.
OR MAYBE SHE GAVE EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED A DISCOUNT ON A RACKET OR SOMETHING THAT HER HOUSE.
SHE THEN IT WOULD BE, SHE TOLD ME SHE DOES A LOANER PROGRAM.
AND SO SHE COULD AT LEAST EVEN, I MEAN IT'S A COST FOR THAT'S LIKE $30.
BUT IF I COULD TELL HER THAT SHE COULD COME, YOU KNOW, OC WHAT IS IT, FEBRUARY 22ND, TELL HER TO CONTACT YOU OR I CAN JUST TELL HER JUST CONTACT, JUST COME BRING WITH ME AND THEN I'M JUST GOING TO, I'M GONNA HAVE THE COMPETITION WITH MELISSA IF HE SETS ALL THESE UP AND THEN LET HER KNOW THAT THIS PERSON I IT TO GET THE WORD OUT.
SHE WANTS TO SPONSOR IT, WHICH MEANS I'M ALLOWING HER TO HAVE A TABLE AND SHE'S ALLOWED TO DO CERTAIN THINGS, BUT SHE'S NOT, THE ONE THING WHEN YOU SPONSOR AND COME TO A SIMILAR EVENT IS THAT YOU CAN'T COACH PEOPLE FROM PLAYING AT MY SITE OR TAKING LESSONS AT MY SITE TO GO.
[01:30:01]
YOU.IF LIKE, I STARTED TO DO LESSONS WITH THE VOLUNTEERS THAT COME IN TO DO THE CLINIC.
IF THEY STARTED DOING LESSONS AND WE GOT PAID FOR THOSE LESSONS, THIS PERSON COULDN'T SPONSOR A CLINIC AND THEN SAY, OH, I'M ALSO OFFERING PICKLEBALL LESSONS FOR STARTED TO DO PICKLEBALL PASS AND THEN TAKE THEM TO THE Y M C A.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I'LL, I'LL GO SEE HER AND, AND JUST SAY LIKE, WELL IF YOU WANNA SPONSOR IT AND WHAT THAT IT'S RIGHT.
UM, IT'S RIGHT IN TRACK, RIGHT? IT'S RIGHT.
UM, KIND OF ACROSS FROM THE COLLEGEVILLE DI FRIENDLY YEAH.
IT'S A, A SMALL SHOP, BUT IT'S WONDERFUL.
SHE'S AND THE YOUNG WOMAN WHO OWNS IT? HER MOM.
I'LL TELL YOU LIKE IT'S NO COST TO HER OTHER THAN GOING, HAVING HER INFORMATION RESTAURANT WOULD BE NICE IF MAYBE SHE DID THE RAFFLE FOR, IF SHE, IF SHE DID A GIFT BASKET FOR A RAFFLE WITH HER, IF SHE'D BE BALL OR MAYBE SHE BROUGHT IN LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT A CAR BALL, BUT SHE'S DOING IT THAT DAY.
SOMETHING, SOMETHING AT HER TABLE SIMILAR TO ME BUSINESS.
I MEAN, GOSH, IT'S A GREAT MARKETING.
LIKE, I THINK YOU'VE GIVEN HER SO MUCH BUSINESS.
I, I HAVE THE HER, SHE GAVE ME HER CARDS.
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GET THE SNEAKERS.
SO I'LL TALK TO HER AND HAVE HER CONTACT YOU, BUT SHE'LL LOVE THEM.
SO I JUST, OR IF SHE WANTS TO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TENNIS LESSONS THAT SHE WANTS TO OR I HAVE ALL THOSE.
THAT'S REALLY WHAT SHE'S, YEAH.
TENNIS IS MORE HER THING, BUT I'LL, YOU KNOW, YOU'LL SHE'LL BE A GOOD CONTACT FOR YOU.
ANY, IN ANY MAYBE PART OF IT WILL BE THAT SHE PUTS UP OUR INFORMATION SO, YOU KNOW.
DID YOU GET ALL THAT
LIKE THE TENNIS SHOP,
ALL I THINK THAT'S, UM, SEVEN 30.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? GOOD MEETING.
SO THE MEETING IS, UM, AT SEVEN 30.
WE'RE OFFICIALLY ADJOURNED AND OUR NEXT MEETING IS MARCHY.
