[1. Call to Order and Committee Attendance]
[00:00:02]
SO, UM, MEETING IS CALLED TO ORDER.
UH, WE NEED TO, WE HAVE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
SO RICH MAY COME IN A BIT LATE.
[2. Approval of Minutes]
SO APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR DECEMBER.DID EVERYBODY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK THEM OVER? YEP.
ANY, UM, CONCERNS? OKAY, SO APPROVAL, AYE.
SO THE DECEMBER MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
UH, THERE'S NOBODY HERE FROM THE PUBLIC, SO NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
[4. New Business]
SO MOVING RIGHT ALONG TO NEW BUSINESS.THE, THE FIRST OF WHICH WE HAVE TO GET, UM, KIND OF PINNED DOWN, I BELIEVE, BETWEEN THIS MONTH AND NEXT MONTH IS THE ELECTIONS.
WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT TONIGHT, I THINK IS WHAT WE NEED TO.
SO, UM, SO I GUESS, I DON'T KNOW.
I KNOW BILL AND SANDY, THEIR TERM ENDED.
SO DO YOU, DID YOU SEPARATE REUP REINSTATED? YES.
ALL RIGHT, SO
TAYLOR SAID HE'S COMFORTABLE BEING A SECRETARY.
SO DO WE, UM, I SECOND MAKE A MOTION? YEAH, MAKE A MOTION.
SO THEN, UM, THEN WE'RE LOOKING AT CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR.
SO MARIA CAN'T BE VICE CHAIR CORRECT.
SO IS ANYBODY INTERESTED IN BEING VICE CHAIR? SO NOT SHOUT AT ONE TIME.
I CAN'T, I'M LOOKING AT SANDY HERE.
SO, ALL RIGHT, SO SANDY HAS STEPPED FORWARD.
SO ALL IN FAVOR OF SANDY BEING VICE-CHAIR, SAY AYE.
SO FOR CHAIRPERSON, IS THERE ANYBODY WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE CHAIRPERSON?
DO YOU WANNA CONTINUE? THAT'S THE QUESTION.
I WILL DO IT AND I'LL BE HONEST.
LIKE, IF THERE WAS SOMEBODY WHO REALLY WANTED IT, REALLY WANTED IT, I, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT APPROACH BECAUSE I THINK IT IS GOOD TO GET THAT EXPERIENCE.
AND I'VE BEEN EITHER VICE CHAIR OR CHAIR PRETTY MUCH SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD.
WELL, FIRST YEAR NOT, BUT SINCE NOBODY IS, I ALREADY HAVE YOU OKAY.
THANK YOU FOR DOING IT AGAIN,
I I WOULD GIVE IT UP, BUT YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT IT.
ALRIGHT, WELL I, YOU'RE VERY GOODLY.
SO WE, WE HAVE OUR OFFICERS IN PLACE.
THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF SERVICE.
AND, UM, MOVING ON TO PRPS AGENCY OF THE YEAR AWARD.
WE CAN, UM, I CAN SHARE WHAT I KNOW AT THIS POINT.
I KNOW THAT TAYLOR WROTE THE DRAFT.
MM-HMM,
YES, I SUBMITTED IT ON THE PARK BOARD'S BEHALF.
SO I PUT IT UNDER YOUR NAME BECAUSE YOU WERE CHAIR WHEN I SUBMITTED IT.
SO I PUT IT UNDER, SO IF WE GET IT, IT WILL GO TO YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, NOT ME.
BUT IT HAD, DOES THAT MEAN ON THE PRPS NUMBER NOW? 'CAUSE DIDN'T YOU HAVE TO BE A MEMBER? I DID, I HAD TO SUBMIT IT UNDER MY LOGIN 'CAUSE I'M A-P-R-P-S MEMBER, BUT I DID IT ON BEHALF OF GOTCHA.
BECAUSE I DIDN'T, I WAS LOOKING TO SEE IF I WAS GONNA GET SOMETHING SAYING LIKE I WAS A MEMBER.
I HAVE A HARD TIME DOING THAT.
SO I COULDN'T PERSONALLY DO IT.
I CAN, THERE'S ALSO THE OPPORTUNITY OF MAKING YOU, 'CAUSE YOU ARE CHAIR A-P-R-P-S MEMBER MOVING FORWARD.
SO THE CHAIR WOULD ALWAYS HAVE THAT.
IT'S A VERY SMALL PRICE TO PAY TO HAVE ALL THE BENEFITS OF PRPS TO SOMEONE ON THE BOARD.
SO IF THAT'S SOMETHING THE BOARD WANTS TO VOTE ON, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD VOTE ON TODAY.
I CAN LOOK INTO ALL, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
I THINK IT'S NOT A BAD IDEA TO HAVE SOME, SOMEBODY JUST BECAUSE HONESTLY, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I EVEN KNEW ABOUT THE PRPS AWARDS WAS I WENT TO THAT ONE WORKSHOP AS SARAH'S GUEST.
AND THEN REALIZE THAT THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE COULD DO.
YEAH, NO, I DO WE NEED A MOTION FOR THAT FOR YOU TO YEAH.
IF YOU GUYS WANNA VOTE ON IT REAL QUICK, THEN I THINK THE MOTION THAT
[00:05:01]
WE LOOK INTO WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO HAVE OUR CHAIR A MEMBER ALSO OF PPSA SECONDYEAH, I WERE NICE MET, I MET I KNOW LOT OF, YEAH.
I DON'T THROW A LOT OF EDUCATION YOUR WAY.
SO IF THERE'S STUFF THAT YOU SEE THAT YOU'RE LIKE, OOH, THAT I MIGHT PASS UP BECAUSE I'VE ALREADY DONE IT, YOU COULD LOOK AT IT AND SAY, OH, THE PARK BAR, IT MIGHT BE NICE FOR YOU GUYS TO ALL READ THIS.
OR THIS IS AN EDUCATIONAL SPACE.
WELL, I REMEMBER ON THEIR TABLE THEY HAD, AND I WASN'T EVEN AWARE OF THIS, THEY HAD ALL BOOKS ABOUT WHAT, WHAT IT, WHAT IT MEANS.
THERE ARE DE LIKE TO, TO BE A PARK BOARD.
AND I WAS LIKE, HUH, THAT'S KINDA INTERESTING.
BUT I, I NEVER, I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION.
SO YOU NEED TO WATCH YOUR EMAIL THOUGH 'CAUSE IT MIGHT EVEN GO TO SPA.
YEAH, I'M GONNA EMAIL THEM NOW AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE NOW IS THIS SOMETHING THAT I NEED TO PAY FOR OR WE'LL TAKE? THIS IS SOMETHING.
YOU NEVER, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE A VOLUNTEER, BUT I WAS LEAVING THE HOUSE BECAUSE I, I SAID TO MY HUSBAND, I WAS LIKE, YEAH, WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR CHAIR.
SO YOU KNOW ALL THE THINGS I MAY COMING HOME CHAIR, MAYBE NOT.
HE SAYS HOLD OUT FOR MORE MONEY AND BETTER, BETTER
UM, SO AT THIS JUNCTURE WE'RE JUST KIND OF, I THINK IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY, DO THEY MAKE A DECISION IN MARCH? I BELIEVE SO, YEAH.
SO I'LL BE SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT MY EMAIL.
I HAVE THEY PUT OUT FOR THE CONFERENCE.
ACTUALLY SHE GONNA TO CONFERENCE THEN SEE? HM.
YOU GONNA GO TO THE CONFERENCE? WE MAY HAVE FOUND THAT LIKE EVEN A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAN MARCH.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE END OF FEBRUARY.
BUT THEY USUALLY, I DON'T THINK THEY DO IT BEFORE THE, THAT'S A WEEK YEAR.
WELL HOPEFULLY THEY WOULD SEND IT TO BOTH ME AND YOU.
WELL YOU, BECAUSE IT GOES UNDER, I WOULD THINK 'CAUSE I WAS LOGGED IN AT BECAUSE THEY ONLY ONE CAN GET IT.
I'M JUST GONNA CHECK WITH THEM AND MAKE SURE THEY RECEIVE THAT.
BECAUSE HE'S SEEING YOU ON IT.
SO YOU HAVE WELL, LET'S ALL BE, UM, OPTIMISTIC.
THAT WOULD BE AN AWESOME THING.
SO, AND ALWAYS BE THINKING DURING THIS, DURING THE YEAR, IF THERE'S ANOTHER THING TOO, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT WE WOULD WANNA BE HIGHLIGHTING.
AND I WOULD BE REALLY, REALLY ADAMANT ABOUT IT BEING PUBLICIZED FAR MORE THAN IT WAS LAST TIME.
SO OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER, OH EIGHT
NEWSLETTER, LIKE, YOU KNOW, ON FACEBOOK, ON OUR FACEBOOK THING.
LIKE YOU WANNA GIVE AN UPDATE THERE.
SO, UM, OUR NEW RECREATIONAL COORDINATOR, HIS NAME IS BOB STEINER.
UM, SO HE HAS IMMENSE, UM, EXPERIENCE WITH RUNNING AND BEING INVOLVED IN SUMMER CAMPS, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WE BROUGHT HIM ON.
UM, HE WILL BE HANDLING ALL SUMMER CAMPS AND ALL RENTALS, PAVILIONS, REC CENTER, EVERYTHING MOVING FORWARD.
UM, AND THE GOOD NEWS IS HE IS, UM, ALL THIS CAMP EXPERIENCE IS ENVIRONMENTAL CAMPS.
SO HE'S VERY HEAVY IN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES THAT, UM, WILDERNESS, UM, OH MY GOODNESS, GREW UP HIS MAJOR, BUT HE MAJORED IN, UM, WILDERNESS, LIKE BIOLOGY OF SOME KIND.
SO, UM, HE IS VERY MUCH IN THAT TRACK.
SO HE'LL BE COMING TO THE EAC MEETING NEXT WEEK JUST TO GET A FEEL FOR WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO AND IF THERE'S ANY WAY HE CAN HELP IN THAT BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO PARK AND REC, UM, STAFF PERSON TO SIT IN ON THOSE MEETINGS ONCE HE GETS HIS FEET WET, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT I PASS ON TO HIM BECAUSE THAT'S HIS THING.
CAN YOU SPELL HIS LAST NAME FOR ME? I'LL SEND IT TO YOU OR LEMME LOOK IT UP BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA MISSPELL IT.
SO ARE YOU SITTING IN ON THOSE MEETINGS? MM-HMM.
SOMETIMES JEFF LETS ME HAVE OFF THAT TEXT.
IT JUST DEPENDS ON AND THAT'S THE NEW HIRE YOU WERE WAITING FOR TO BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU SOME RELIEF? YES.
UM, HIS LAST NAME IS S-T-E-I-N-I-N-G-E-R-S
[00:10:04]
T-E-I-N-G-E-R-I-N-G-E-R-I-N-G-E-R.UM, SO YES, AND HE'LL BE AT, HE'S A FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE, SO HE'LL BE AT ALL THE EVENTS HE'S REQUIRED TO BE AT MOST OF THOSE.
UM, HE'LL BE WORKING ONE DAY A WEEK OVER AT THE CENTER.
WE WERE THERE TODAY, UM, GIVING HIM THE LOWDOWN ON HOW THAT WORKS AND, UM, AND HE WILL BE THERE AT LEAST ONE DAY A WEEK TO GET THE LAY OF THE LAND AND HE'LL BE WORKING WITH JEN ON GETTING ALL THE RENTALS ON THE WEBSITE AND ALL THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.
BUT, UM, SO FAR HE'S AT LEAST MET ALL THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
HE'S WORKED ONE DAY AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND THEN, UM, TOMORROW WE'RE DOING ALL DAY SUMMER CAMP INFORMATION AND THEN, UM, FRIDAY WE WILL BE DOING A LITTLE BIT OF UM, UH, WEBSITE TRAINING.
AND THEN THE REST OF THE DAY WE'LL BE BUILDING FURNITURE FOR THE TWIG AT THE
SO WE ARE VERY EXCITED, HE'S REALLY EXCITED TO BE ON BOARD, SO.
SO NOW YOU'RE THREE FULL-TIME? YES.
WHERE'S HIS OFFICE GOING? SARAH'S OFFICE.
MELISSA AND MAUREEN LIKE TO STAY TOGETHER, SO WE KEPT THEM TOGETHER AND GIVE HIM A SPACE.
SO WE'LL HOPEFULLY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AND MAYBE A VOLUNTEERING AT SOME PLACE.
AND HE'LL ALSO BE HERE FOR THE NEXT MEETING, SO.
I DIDN'T WANNA OVERWHELM TOO MUCH.
SO I MEAN, THIS IS A VERY INTENSE MEETING WE HAVE, SO I DIDN'T WANNA THROW HIM TO THE WOLVES RIGHT AWAY, SO HE'LL COME BACK.
SHE SHOULD GIVE YOU THE HAMMER.
A GREAT LEAD INTO WIG SINCE YOU'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING.
SO ALL THE FURNITURE IS HERE, THE CHAIR GOES, HOUSE IS COMING.
WE JUST HAVE TO PUT THE TV IN, EVERYTHING ELSE, THE FURNITURE, EVERYTHING ELSE IS IN THERE READY TO GO.
WE WROTE, UM, WE WENT OVER OUR FIRST DRAFT OF THE RULES AND POLICIES FOR THE GAME ROOM.
UM, WE'RE DECIDING BETWEEN WHAT AGES WOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE DROPPED OFF TO USE THAT WITHOUT PARENT SUPERVISION IN THE BUILDING.
SO KIND OF IS THE GAME ROOM LIKE, SO HE, THE, IT'S MT OFFICE.
SO THE TWIG IS YOUR OLD OFFICE.
IT'S THE ONE IN BETWEEN THE UM, WHAT USED TO BE THE GREEN ROOM? NO, THE GREEN ROOM IS THE TWIG.
IT'S WHERE THE PODCAST ROOM WAS.
AND IT ACTUALLY, ONCE YOU MOVE OUT THE FILE CABINET AND THE BIG DESK THAT WAS IN THERE, IT'S ACTUALLY MUCH BIGGER THAN YOU THINK.
WE CAN ACTUALLY FIT SIX FULL PEOPLE IN THERE.
SO WE GOT EVERYTHING FINALIZED IN THERE TODAY OTHER THAN THE TV.
UM, ONE OF OUR PUBLIC WORKS WELL, OR ONE OF OUR, UH, BUILDING FOREMAN, DAVE WAS OUT ON DISABILITY FOR THE LAST MONTH, SO WE HAD A HARD TIME TRYING TO GET SOME STUFF DONE, BUT NOW HE'S BACK AND RYAN'S BACK.
SO WE CAN TRY TO GET THAT ALL FINALIZED.
UM, AND THEN THE TWIG, UM, I HAD SOME CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE LIBRARY TODAY.
I'M HOPING TO GET IT OFF THE GROUND RUNNING.
I JUST HAVE TO BUILD THE BOOKCASES THAT ARE THERE.
SO THAT'S HOPEFULLY MY PLAN ON FRIDAY.
IF WE CAN STICK TO THAT PLAN, THOSE WOULD BE BUILT.
AND THEN IT WOULD JUST BE, ARE WE GOING TO MOVE IN THE LIBRARY DIRECTION TO START OFF, I DON'T HAVE A NEW PLAN YET OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO CHECK IN OR CHECK OUT BOOKS.
UM, I DIDN'T GET THAT PASSED IN THE BUDGET TO BUY THIS $50,000 MACHINE FOR IT, SO THAT'S NOT HAPPENING.
UM, BUT IF THERE'S ANOTHER WAY WE CAN DO IT WITH THE LIBRARY, THAT'S GREAT.
THEY'LL BRING IN THEIR OWN BOOKS.
I THINK THEY SENT ME A COST ESTIMATE UNDER 10 GRAND TO GET THE FIRST SET OF BOOKS THAT IT WOULD BE WITHIN THAT 10 GRAND IS, UM, RENEWAL OF BOOKS EVERY YEAR.
SO IT'S LIKE A FEE EVERY YEAR FOR NEW BOOKS TO COME IN AND OUT.
UM, BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE A CHECK-IN CHECKOUT SYSTEM, ALL OF THAT'S FOR NOT, SO THE OTHER OPTION IS, IS THAT WE MAKE IT A GIANT LITTLE LIBRARY AND PEOPLE CAN, WE HAVE SOMEONE ALREADY ON STAFF THAT WANTS TO ORGANIZE IT AND LIKE, KEEP IT NICE.
SO IT MIGHT JUST BE LIKE A TAKE A BOOK, LEAVE A BOOK TYPE OF SITUATION, BE AWESOME, JUST IN A HUGE SENSE.
AND JUST KEEPING TRACK JUST A SPREADSHEET ON THAT.
AND WE ALREADY HAVE A STAFF PERSON THAT'S SUPER EXCITED TO BE THAT PERSON.
SO, AND WOULD THIS BE EITHER WAY, WHETHER IT'S A STAFF PERSON OR UM, SOMEBODY FROM ROYERSFORD LIBRARY, WOULD THIS BE AN EVERYDAY THING OR THREE DAYS A WEEK? NO.
SO, AND THAT'S THE THING, IF WE HAVE A LIBRARY PERSON, I CAN ONLY AFFORD TO, I HAVE TO PAY THAT PERSON SALARY.
SO AGAIN, IT IS HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO SPEND ON THAT, UM, ON TOP OF WHEN I HAVE THE PEOPLE ALREADY THERE THAT JUST KIND OF WANT LIKE A FREE FUN LITTLE THING TO DO.
SO IF I PAID FOR THAT PERSON, I THINK I CAN ONLY HAVE 'EM THERE A COUPLE DAYS A WEEK, BUT THE LIBRARY WOULD BE OPEN WITHOUT THEM.
SO THAT CHECK-IN SYSTEMS CLUTCH, BUT THEN THEY'RE,
[00:15:01]
THE COMPUTER'S NOT WORKING.MY FRONT DESK IS TRYING TO FIX IT.
THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE IT.
SO IT'S ALL OF THOSE INNER WORKING THINGS.
SO, BUT SO WHEN DO YOU MAKE A DECISION WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE GONNA GO WITH YOUR A STAFF PERSON OR EVEN CONSIDERING A SOMEBODY FROM THE LIBRARY? SO WE CAN GO TO ROWS WITH THE LIBRARY.
FROM OUR LAST CONVERSATION, IT WAS, WE CAN OPERATE THE TWIG UNDER THE LIBRARY'S UMBRELLA THAT I WOULD JUST, IT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO HOW WE RUN THE CENTER NOW THAT I PAY THAT INVOICE.
BUT IF WE GO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND JUST DO PROGRAMMING WITH THE LIBRARY AND PAY FOR THE PROGRAMMING FROM THE LIBRARY, AND THEN WE HAVE OUR OWN SEPARATE ENTITY, LIKE WE CAN STILL DO STORY TIMES IN THERE WITH THE LIBRARY
WE CAN STILL DO FUN THINGS WITH THEM IN THAT SPACE.
IT MAY JUST NOT BE RUN BY THEM.
SO YOU'RE IN THE, IN THAT DECISION MAKING PROCESS NOW? YES.
AND THOSE ARE YOUR TWO OPTIONS.
I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE, I DON'T KNOW FROM MY PERSPECTIVE IF, IF IT'S SOMETHING WE COULD DO WITHOUT PAYING A LIBRARIAN AND STILL HAVE THAT SERVICE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY, RIGHT.
WELL, AND THAT'S THE THING, LIKE I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT WAS THE WHOLE THING.
THE BOARD WAS LIKE, I'M NOT INVESTING ALL THESE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO A MACHINE IF WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS THING'S GONNA TAKE OFF.
SO WHERE I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO HAVE THIS OTHER GREAT OPTION TO SEE IF PEOPLE ARE EVEN INTERESTED.
YOU KNOW, AND MAYBE IT'S, INSTEAD OF RUNNING THE LIBRARY, THE LIBRARY IS COMING IN AND THEY'RE OPERATING THE BOOK CLUBS AND THE DIFFERENT CLUBS THAT HAPPEN WITHIN THAT SECTOR.
SO IT'S, THERE IS ROOM TO GROW, I THINK.
UM, IT'S JUST HOW WE STARTED, JUST TO THROW ANOTHER LITTLE MONKEY WRENCH INTO THAT, IF YOU WENT THAT ROUTE MM-HMM.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL, THE COMMUNITY, RIGHT? YEP.
SO FORMER LIBRARIANS WHO LOVE THAT.
AND I CAN SEE TOO JUST IF, IF THERE'S A PASSION THERE AND WE SHOW A PASSION FOR IT AND PEOPLE REALLY, THEY REALLY LIKE THE LITTLE ONE THAT WE ALREADY HAVE ON THE ROLLER CARD, PEOPLE COME IN JUST TO SEE WHAT'S IN THERE.
SO IT'S, IF I CAN GET PEOPLE THAT FINISH A BRAND NEW BOOK THAT JUST HIT THE MARKET AND THEY'RE WILLING TO PART WITH IT FOR A LITTLE BIT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
BECAUSE THE OLD BOOKS THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE NOT THE ONES THAT PEOPLE ARE COMING IN FOR.
LIKE, THEY WANNA SEE IF PEOPLE ARE DONATING THEIR NEWER ONES.
SO IT'S JUST PUTTING OUT, THERE'S THE PUBLIC LIKE, HEY, WE ARE IN NEED OF BOOKS.
IF YOU HAVE BETWEEN THESE YEARS OF LIKE HOT SELLERS, THAT'D BE GREAT TO GET IN.
SO IT'S, IT'S FINDING THAT GOOD GROOVE FOR IT.
OR WE'VE HIT THE LIBRARY TO PROVIDE US THOSE BOOKS.
SO THERE'S A, WE'LL SEE WHERE IT GOES.
THE CONVERSATION, IT JUST REOPENED THIS AFTERNOON, SO.
SO I HAVE IT ON A WORD DOCUMENT RIGHT NOW, WHICH I WILL PUT ON THE GOOGLE DRIVE FOR EVERYBODY.
UM, THE ONE EVENT THAT, UM, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT TAYLOR WASN'T GONNA BE HERE FOR, BUT WE DO NEED TO SET A DATE FOR THE JAM IF WE ARE CONTINUING TO DO THE JAM.
I JUST NEED TO SETTLE DOWN DATES AND I'LL GIVE YOU THE COUPLE DAYS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE, UM, PRE-PLANNED DUE TO THE EASTER HOLIDAY.
SO OUR FLASHLIGHT EGG HUNT IS FRIDAY, MARCH 22ND WHEN WE DO THE JAM LAST YEAR AROUND APRIL.
SO THIS YEAR WE KIND OF NEEDED, AND THE RAIN DATE WAS LIKE MAY 1ST OR SOMETHING.
SO, WHICH IS GONNA BE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OUR UP MUSIC FEST IS THE FIRST SATURDAY IN MAY.
SO IF WE CAN GIVE LIKE A GREAT, GREAT APPROACH IF WE GIVE TAYLOR THESE COMMITTED DATES AND HE COULD WORK AROUND THAT, REACH OUT TO MARK AND THE OTHER, BECAUSE IT MIGHT HAVE TO BE LIKE, IF IT IS, IF SUNDAY I HAVE TO PULL UP MY CALENDAR, BUT OUR, JUST SO YOU GUYS THE 28TH OR WAS THIS LAST SUNDAY OF APRIL? SO YOU HAVE FLASHLIGHT ON MARCH 22ND.
SO THAT'S, IT'S SO FOR IN LIKE 12 WEEKS.
I KNOW IT'S THE BEST, IT'S THE BEST EVENT EVER.
SO WE HAVE THAT AT THE END OF, SO OUR OTHER EVENT, WE USUALLY DO A COMMUNITY EGG HUNT BECAUSE OF THE INFLUX OF PEOPLE DOING IS SO SATURATED RIGHT NOW.
EVERYBODY'S DOING AN EGG HUNT.
IN FACT, I JUST GOT AN EMAIL FROM ONE OF OUR PARTNERS ASKING IF WE CAN JUST SHARE AND USE OUR SPACE FOR PARKING ON A SIMILAR DAY THAT WE WERE GONNA DO OUR, SO WE ARE KAPUT EGG HUNT, AND WE ARE BRINGING IN SPRING FLING.
SO SPRING FLING IS GOING TO BE, OUR SPRING IS A SIMILAR
[00:20:01]
IDEA TO LIKE A TRUNK OR TREAT WITH SCAVENGER HUNTS AND DIFFERENT SPRING THEMED ACTIVITIES.BUT IT WILL NOT BE AN EGG-BASED EVENT.
IT'S GONNA KIND OF THAT BE THE 22ND.
SO THIS IS GONNA TIE IN EVERY OUR SPRING HOLIDAY EVENT AS WELL AS EARTH DAY.
WE'RE TRYING TO COMBINE THOSE TWO THINGS ON THAT DAY.
AND WE'RE STILL GONNA DO COMMUNITY, HOPEFULLY THE RAIN, HOPEFULLY, HOPEFULLY ON HOPEFULLY SEPTEMBER 21ST.
UM, BUT SO THE JAM, SEPTEMBER 21ST REALLY ONLY HAS THE FOUR.
IF HE HAS IT ON THE 21ST, IT GIVES HIM THE 28TH AS A RAIN DATE, BUT THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY TWO DATES THAT I CAN GIVE THE GYM UNLESS THEY WANNA MOVE INTO THE HEAT 21ST OR THE 28TH, RAIN 20.
ARE YOU TALKING MARCH, APRIL? WHAT TIME? START AGAIN? I THINK HE DOES LIKE 12 TO THREE.
I THINK EITHER 12 TO THREE, 12 TO FOUR WAS ALWAYS LIKE RIGHT IN THERE.
SO, SO THEORETICALLY, IF IT WAS JUST OUTTA CURIOSITY, IF IT WAS DONE ON THE 28TH, COULD THERE BE A RAIN DATE AFTER THAT? IT WOULD HAVE TO IN MAY TWO WEEKS LATER.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS WORRIED ABOUT ONCE WE GET INTO MAY, BECAUSE I HAVE TO EMAIL YOU GUYS.
SO HOPEFULLY IF THEY COULD DO 2128, THAT'D BE, YEAH.
LIKE THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY ALL RIGHT.
YEAH, I'M, THAT'S, UNLESS HE WANTS TO TRY FOR MARCH.
I MEAN THAT WORKS FOR, THAT WORKS FOR HIM.
AND THEN HE USUALLY RUNS UPON MARK.
THIS GIVES THEM AMPLE TIME AND THEN WE CAN START SETTING UP MEETINGS ABOUT IT NEXT MONTH.
BUT THOSE WERE THE ONES COMING UP THAT I JUST WANTED TO THROW OUT TO YOU GUYS.
I'LL PUT THIS ON THE GOOGLE DRIVE SO EVERYBODY HAS IT.
UM, YOU WILL SEE CHANGES IN, UM, WHERE EVENTS ARE BEING HELD, UM, WITH THE, UM, QUEST IS SELLING THEIR LOCATION OVER HERE.
SO BEING UNSURE IF WE HAVE THIS PARKING, I AM MAKING THREE DIFFERENT PLANS FOR EVERY LARGE EVENT THAT HAPPENS HERE.
SO THIS WILL BE, I DON'T THINK BLACKROCK IS GONNA LEND US UP TO HAVING EVENTS HERE IF I DON'T HAVE THAT PARKING OPPORTUNITY.
SO WE ARE RIGHT NOW IN THE MIDST OF FIGURING OUT WHERE ELSE TO HAVE THINGS.
SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, IT MIGHT HAVE LIKE MCFARLAND ON HERE FOR CERTAIN THINGS IN ANDERSON.
WE'RE UP IN THE AIR COMPLETELY ON EVERY EVENT THAT HAPPENS HERE, MOVING INTO ANOTHER LOCATION.
SO JUST TO, WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT, IT'S NOT HARD SET ON ANY LOCATION RIGHT NOW WE'RE KIND OF UP IN THE AIR WITH WHERE WE CAN HOUSE MANY PEOPLE.
WHEN'S, UM, QUEST LAST DAY? I DON'T KNOW YET.
EVERYTHING'S, WELL, THEY'RE NOT THERE, BUT THEY DID APPARENTLY, ACCORDING TO THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY THAT I REACHED OUT TO, TO SECURE OUR DATES, UM, FOR EVENTS, THEY COULDN'T DISCLOSE MUCH INFORMATION OTHER THAN IT'S IN PROCESS.
SO DEPENDING ON WHAT THAT IS AND WHAT THE TIMELINE IS, LIKE MAYBE I CAN GET IN THIS YEAR WITH IT, BUT WE MAY NOT.
SO IT'S JUST KIND OF UP IN THE AIR RIGHT NOW.
SO THAT WOULD BE, UM, WHAT IS IT IS, UM, THE CAR SHOW.
AND IT IS POSSIBLY OUR SPRING FLING.
AND THEN REALLY IT'S JUST, IT, THOSE ARE THE, THOSE ARE THE BIG ONES FOR RIGHT NOW.
AS FAR AS, UM, YOUR PROCESS FOR LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS.
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT? I MEAN, YOU DO IT A CERTAIN WAY FOR THE BOARD.
SO WILL YOU CONTINUE DOING IT LIKE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE WEEKS OR A WEEK BEFORE EVENTS SEND AND THEN WE SIGN UP ON THAT GOOGLE THING? OR ARE YOU GOING TO DO A SPREADSHEET? YEAH.
WHAT'S THE BEST APPROACH? I'M GONNA THIS WORD DOC AND I'LL JUST FACTOR IT INTO A SPREADSHEET.
USUALLY I HAVE THIS ALREADY DONE BY NOW, SO I APOLOGIZE.
BUT IT'LL BE IN THAT SPREADSHEET.
AND ON ONE SIDE OF IT, IT WILL SAY LIKE, WHO WANTS TO VOLUNTEER? AND ONCE I GET WHO WANTS TO, THEN I'LL REACH OUT TO YOU AND SAY, WHAT TIMES WERE YOU, HOW MANY HOURS WERE YOU ANTICIPATING COMING IN? OKAY.
UM, BUT THIS WAY IT GIVES ME AN IDEA.
YOU GUYS HAVE ALL THESE DATES OUT PLENTY IN ADVANCE.
SO IT'S, YOU CAN KIND OF SAY RIGHT NOW, LIKE, I DEFINITELY KNOW I'M NOT IN FOR THIS ONE.
BUT, UM, AT LEAST GIVES YOU A HEADS UP ON THE G STUFF.
AND JUST TO KEEP IN MIND LIKE THE KIND OF THE EXPECTATION FOR A BOARD MEMBERS IS TO VOLUNTEER FOR THREE TO FOUR EVENTS A YEAR.
SO KIND OF WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT, THE DATES, I MEAN IF, IF ONLY TWO WORK, ONLY TWO WORK, BUT THAT WOULD BE OUR GOAL TO TRY TO SHOOT FOR,
[00:25:01]
YOU KNOW, THREE OR FOUR.AND THAT'S WHERE, UM, AT THE END OF THE YEAR, MAUREEN, MELISSA AND I HAD A DEEP CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR VOLUNTEER POOL.
LIKE BACK IN THE DAY BEFORE COVID, WE HAD TONS OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD VOLUNTEER FOR OUR STAFF.
AND SINCE COVID HAS BEEN REALLY HARD TO GET PEOPLE TO COME BACK OUT AND VOLUNTEER, OR YOU'RE UNFORTUNATELY, FORTUNATELY WE'RE GETTING STUDENTS COME OUT THAT WANT TO VOLUNTEER.
IT'S ALSO THEY CAN'T DO AS MUCH FOR US DURING EVENTS.
SO THERE'S VERY LIMITED THINGS THEY CAN DO.
SO SOMETIMES IT'S WORTH IT, SOMETIMES IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
SO IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE EVENT IS.
BUT, UM, OUR THING THIS YEAR WOULD BE HOW WE CAN GET MORE VOLUNTEERS TO COME OUT AND ASSIST WITH THINGS.
BECAUSE AS YOU GUYS KNOW, THINGS LIKE FALL FEST, THEY'RE JUST HUGE.
AND EVEN IF ALL OF US WERE THERE, PLUS ALL THE PUBLIC WORK, SOMETIMES YOU JUST FEEL LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH HANDS ON DECK.
SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE, IF I COULD GET MORE PEOPLE THAT WANTED TO COME OUT, ADULTS, TEENS, WHOEVER THAT IS, IT'D BE GREAT.
SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WITH OUR MARKETING TEAM HOW WE CAN LIKE, PULL PEOPLE.
THAT, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS GONNA SAY.
AND THEN EVEN ON FACEBOOK, THOSE, IT'S PUT OUT LIKE WE'RE LOOKING FOR, WE'RE TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER A VOLUNTEER POOL.
AND THAT, 'CAUSE IF WE LOOK AT WHAT OUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS A BOARD IS, IS ALSO TO HELP YEAH.
GETTING VOLUNTEERS BEYOND OURSELVES.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING RIGHT THAT, AND I DO KNOW FROM THE PAST, AND THIS IS AS SOON AS, UM, CLARENCE'S BECAME VERY PREVALENT, EVEN WITH VOLUNTEERS, PEOPLE STOPPED WANTING TO VOLUNTEER 'CAUSE THEY FELT LIKE IT WAS INVASIVE A LITTLE BIT.
SO WE DO UNDERSTAND IT ON THAT POINT, BUT THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ALREADY HAVE THEM FOR ANYTHING AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, VOLUNTEER CLEARANCES ARE FREE, SO THERE IS NO HARDSHIP THERE.
AND WE DON'T ASK FOR THE ONES THAT COST ANY MONEY.
WE JUST NEED THE BASIC ONES OR SO CAN THE POLICE BE INVOLVED WHERE PEOPLE JUST GO TO POLICE STATION AND CLEARANCE, BUT THEY HELP OUT.
WE HAVE TO DO IT BY INDIGO INTEND, TOGO, WHATEVER THAT WEBSITE IS.
UNFORTUNATELY WE'VE TRIED, I MEAN, COULD WE HAVE LIKE A, LIKE A, A SIGN OR SOMETHING VERY FEASIBLE? NO, I CAN'T COMMIT TO THE 21ST OR 28TH HAS TO TALK TO THAT PERSON.
UM, AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER LIKE THAT WE'RE KNOW KIND OF.
WHAT? UM, HE SAYS IT'S PROBABLY NOT HAPPY THIS YEAR.
ADDRESS US ABOUT IT IN FEBRUARY TO LET YOU KNOW DISCUSSION TOLD YOU
WELL YOU KNOW WHAT, MAYBE THERE'S SOME LIKE, THAT'S WHERE WE COULD PUT OUR IDEAS TOGETHER.
MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE TO, TO CAPTURE THAT GROUP OR A DIFFERENT GROUP.
NO, THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT.
BUT WE CAN ALSO, MAYBE THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE THAT WANTS TO TAKE ANOTHER PARTNER THAT WANTS TO DO IT FOR THIS YEAR THAT ALSO LIVES AND BREEZE OR SOMETHING.
MAYBE IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE, THE PREVIOUS JAM THE WAY IT WAS DONE.
MAYBE WE CHANGE IT UP ENOUGH THAT PEOPLE AREN'T EXPECTING THAT SAME THING BECAUSE THAT, LET'S FACE IT, MARK BROUGHT A LOT OF FREE STUFF.
AND IF PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO COME AND, AND GET THAT JUST SAID THANK YEAR OLD BRING DESSERT
SO, SO THAT WE CAN TALK TO TAYLOR MORE ABOUT THAT.
AND MAYBE IT'S NOT IN APRIL, MAYBE WE REVISIT THAT CRAZY IDEA WE HAD AT ONE POINT OF DOING A MUSIC NIGHT EVENT OVER AT THE, AT THE SKIPPER.
REMEMBER WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT, IF WE TOTALLY POOED THAT BECAUSE OF, I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT DO IT, LIKE START IT, YOU KNOW, EARLY, LIKE WHERE THERE IS MUSIC AND THERE'S LIGHTS AND WE JUST, I DUNNO, THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT.
MY POINT WAS TO ADVERTISE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING IS WE HAVE A LOT OF COMMUNITIES NOW IN UPPER PROVIDENCE, MOST OF THEM HAVE FACEBOOK PAGES.
IF WE COULD, LIKE I RUN THE FACEBOOK PAGE FOR MY COMMUNITY, IF, IF WE COULD GET A HANDLE ON WHAT THOSE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES ARE AND WHO THE, WHO RUNS THEIR INNER COMMUNICATION, UM, WE COULD
[00:30:01]
PUT SOMETHING ON THERE ABOUT LOOKING FOR LOCAL.BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS GREAT, BUT THAT ONLY ATTRACTS THE PEOPLE THAT GO TO THAT GO THERE CENTER.
WE GOTTA DO SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.
RIGHT? LIKE, ALRIGHT, HERE'S A PERFECT, PERFECT EXAMPLE.
I KNOW I HAVE MY HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEND STUFF AROUND.
I'M NOT A FACEBOOK, I DON, IT'S A MATTER OF OH.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I I'M A FACE, I'M KIND OF A FACEBOOK STALKER RIGHT.
SO LIKE AT SOME POINT IF WE COULD MAYBE MEET AND YOU CAN TEACH ME HOW TO DO THAT.
THEN I COULD DO IT FOR MY HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AND WE, YOU KNOW, LIKE IT, BUT IT, IT IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING THAT COMES NATURALLY.
I THINK THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GET TO THE AGE GROUP THAT WE WANT.
'CAUSE THE KIDS AREN'T ON FACEBOOK ANYMORE.
NO, THEY'RE ON INSTAGRAM AND YEAH.
YOU KNOW, BUT THE GROUP THAT WE WANT FACEBOOK.
WHAT'S THAT? DO YOU LIVE IN
NO, I ACTUALLY, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A LOT OF SENIORS THAT HAVE TIME.
SO THE, HOW ABOUT AS AN, I HAVE SOMETHING FOR, I HAVE TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING BECAUSE IT CAME UP IN QUESTION.
SO MAYBE AS AN ACTION ITEM WE COULD JUST SAY THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU'LL GIVE US MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM COMES UP WITH TO TRY TO GET MORE VOLUNTEERS.
WE'LL CONTINUE TO BRAINSTORM AND I PERSONALLY COULD USE SOME ASSISTANCE IN HOW, HOW TO DO THAT.
UM, AND THEN WE'LL JUST WAIT FOR AN UPDATE FOR, FROM TAYLOR AND THINK ABOUT MAYBE WHAT WE CAN DO AS A 'CAUSE EVEN IF, IF WE DON'T DO A JAM, THE BOARD SHOULD DO SOME YEAH.
SOMETHING TO REPLACE THAT IN, IN SOME CAPACITY.
SO KIND OF, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE GYM.
SO ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY ABOUT EVENTS? UM, NOT AT THIS TIME, NO.
[5. Old Business]
BUSINESS HEAD DOWN.THAT YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE BE TAKEN OFF ON THAT.
I FEEL BAD BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO GET OFF THE GROUND.
USUALLY HAVING IN OCTOBER, WE'RE NOT HAVING IN SEPTEMBER NOW WE ARE HAVING IT IN SEPTEMBER THIS YEAR.
THAT'S A FIRM DATE FOR THIS YEAR.
WE'RE HOPING THE WEATHER PATTERN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS ARE JUST SO, WE'RE SO DISAPPOINTING.
SO EVERYBODY MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF SOMETHING THAT WE ALL NEED TO WORK AROUND TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO BE THERE.
AND THIS IS JUST SOMETHING WE'RE KIND OF NO, AND I REALLY WANTED TO, TO MOVE ON.
WE'RE JUST GETTING OVER THE HOLIDAYS LAST, LAST YEAR.
I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T GET A HANDLE ON
WELL JUST, YOU KNOW WHAT, LET'S JUST TABLE IT AND THAT'S FINE.
AND WE'LL KIND OF LIKE, AS MAYBE GIVE IT A COUPLE, YOU KNOW, COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THEN IF YOU FEEL THAT IT'S SOMETHING YOU STILL WANNA BE INVOLVED WITH, BUT MAYBE NOT KIND OF CHAIRING MM-HMM.
THEN WE CAN SEE IF THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN, IN TAKING ON A BIGGER ROLE IN THAT.
IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S AN EVENT FOR THE DEADLINE.
BUT I REALLY WANTED SOMETHING TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR.
A LOT IS HAPPENING AND IT, AND IT AND IT MAY, BUT, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LET'S JUST KIND OF LET, LET'S, LET'S MAKE IT SO IT, IT POTENTIALLY WE WANT DO A GOOD JOB WITH IT.
MAYBE WE CAN DO THE S AND THE YEAH.
SO WE, IT'S STILL UNDER OLD BUSINESS.
WE HAVE THE MEMORIAL TREE FOR WENDY.
WELL, I MEAN, HOW WE NO, NO, THIS IS STILL WORD BOARD, LIKE, AS FAR AS I KNOW.
DID WE, DID, HAS EVERYBODY WHO WANTED TO AND WAS ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE.
SO KEN, SO WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT THOUSAND
SO WE WERE, YOU WERE LOOKING AT, UM, MEMORIAL TREE AND I THINK IT WAS LIKE, LIKE, UM, SUE SAID, I THINK IT'S LIKE 300
[00:35:01]
AND PARKS AND REC WOULD COVER HALF.SO WE WERE LOOKING TO CONTRIBUTE LIKE ABOUT 25, 20 25 EACH.
SO IF THAT'S 2250, I THINK IT WAS 22.
I THINK IT WAS, I THINK IT WAS LIKE 2015.
SO YOU WANT VENMO
SO, UM, AND WE'VE DONE, WE'VE WE'VE DONE THAT BEFORE.
JUST DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE WENDY WAS SUCH A, UM, A BIG CONTRIBUTOR.
PARKS AND REC AND YOU KNOW, SOME SCHOOL LIKE SO MANY OTHER WAYS.
SO, UM, AND I DID GET CONFIRMATION FROM THE GUYS THAT PUTTING IT OVER BY KATHY TREE IS OH.
THAT'S IT'LL BE, IT'LL BE THE, IT'LL BE THE FOREST AND AS WE AGE, WHAT DID I DO TO THEM?
AND IF YOU'RE REALLY GOOD, YOU GET A BENCH.
IF, IF YOU'VE CONTRIBUTED OR WANT TO KIND OF HOW, WHERE, WHEN JUST TO JUST GIVE THE MONEY TO SUE.
YEAH, I THINK WE JUST, WE JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE, WE, WE HAPPENED TO HAVE CASH LAST ON IN DECEMBER ONE SQUARE ABOUT, YEAH.
SO I'LL COVER THE REST AS SOON AS WHATEVER THE REMAINING IS.
AND THAT COMES WITH PLAQUE AS WELL.
SO, UM, YOU CENTER PATTIES THE OTHER I'LL GIVE HER A STA ON THE TOO.
I CAN BRING, ALRIGHT, SO SIT ON MY DESK FOR FIVE YEARS.
SO, UH, WHERE WAS, WHERE WERE WE? ALL RIGHT.
THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT, UM, I, I THOUGHT OF WHEN I WAS JUST KIND OF LOOKING OVER THE AGENDA WAS, UM, AND I THINK WE'VE TOUCHED ON THIS IN DECEMBER, BUT HOW ARE WE SET FOR STARTING TO PUT MINUTES AGAIN BEING PUBLISHED ON THE WEBSITE? YES.
SO THAT'S ENTIRELY A NEW PROBLEM.
IT IT, IT'S ME SITTING AT THE COMPUTER UPLOADING ALL THE MINUTES.
BUT HOW PROBLEMATIC, LIKE, I GUESS THAT'S MY QUESTION.
YOU, YOU HAVE SO MUCH ON YOUR PLATE.
AND I KNOW IT'S MAY, IT MAY BE A YOU PROBLEM, BUT WE'RE WILLING TO HELP WITH THAT.
I MEAN, CAN IT BE SCANNED AND PUT IN? NO.
SO THE NICE THING IS IT'S ALREADY VIRTUAL.
IT'S ALREADY IN A PDF AND IT'S ALREADY WITHIN OUR LETTERHEAD.
SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE UPLOADING IT.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE CREDENTIALS, SEE IT ON THE WEBSITE.
YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE RIGHT SECTION.
YOU HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT AGENDA AND THEN REATTACH IT.
LIKE RE KIND OF OPEN IT UP TO THEN PUT THE MINUTES IN.
AND THEN ONCE YOU GO LIVE, I BELIEVE ALL OF YOU GET LIKE THIS ALERT THAT I HAVE NOW, PUT THOSE MINUTES UP SO EVERYONE WILL GET AN EMAIL PER EVERY TIME I DO IT.
SO IT'S MORE SO GETTING TWO, THREE HOURS TO SIT AND ACTUALLY SIT THERE AND, AND NO INTERRUPTIONS.
JUST THE FIRST ONE? NO, IT WILL TAKE FOR THE YEAR.
OH WAIT, YOU'RE GOING PUT EM, YOU'RE GONNA BACKPACK 'EM.
I HAVE TO DO ALL I HAVE TO BE UP TO DO LAST YEAR.
MONTHLY WILL BE EASY ONCE I GET THE HANG.
HOW FAR BACK HAVE TO GO? I HAVE TO DO 2356.
WAS THAT 'CAUSE WE CHANGED WEBSITES FIVE YEARS.
SO WE CHANGED THE TOWNSHIP ALONE CHANGED HOW WE DID AGENDAS AND MINUTES AND VIDEOS AND ALL THAT STUFF.
SO IT WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING UP THERE AND I DIDN'T KNOW IT WASN'T GOING UP THERE.
AND THAT YOU'RE RIGHT BECAUSE I THINK, WASN'T THAT THE SUN ONE OF THE SUNSHINE LEVEL THING? YEAH.
SO I HAVE TO LIKE SHUT MYSELF IN A ROOM AND GET IT DONE.
BUT DOESN'T BOB NEED TRAINING? I KNOW
SAY IS THERE, UH, YOU KNOW, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT THINGS FOR YOU TO DO? YEAH.
THAT THAT'S JUST SOMETHING BECAUSE LIKE I KNOW WE'RE KIND OF NOT MM-HMM.
[00:40:02]
ALL RIGHT, SO, UM, ONTO SUE.SO THE RIVER PRESS TRAIL NAMING.
I HAVE DROPPED THE BOAT ON THAT ONE.
UM, I DID TALK TO MARKETING ABOUT IT AGAIN.
WE'LL, WE'LL RE WE'LL REVAMP IT AND I HAVE TO JUST GIVE MYSELF A BETTER TIMELINE TO ACTUALLY DO IT.
ALL THE NAMES ARE ON A PIECE OF PAPER IN MY 2023 NOTEBOOK.
WHO IS MARKETING? WE, UM, THIRD PARTY IT NOW IT'S DANDELIONS DIGITAL.
THEY'RE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT DID THE WALL.
UM, SO, UH, AS SOON AS I GIVE IT TO HER, IT'LL BE UP IN SECONDS.
IT'S JUST AGAIN, WRITE ALL THE NAMES IN A HAT NEXT MONTH AND WE'LL ALL, WE'LL ALL PICK A NAME AND THEN IT, AND THEN WE'LL JUST PICK THOSE NAMES.
EVENTUALLY WE KIND OF, WE WE YOU HAVE, YOU HAVE LIKE FOUR FOUR OR FIVE? I HAVE.
SO, SO BASICALLY THE THOUGHT WAS IS THAT WE WOULD PUT IT ON FACEBOOK WITH THE ONES THAT PEOPLE MAJORITY IN THIS ROOM AND IN THE ROOM NEXT TO US.
LIKE, AND FROM THERE WE WOULD LET THE PUBLIC CHOOSE AND WHATEVER GOT THAT HIGHEST VOTE, THEN IT'S NOT ON A PARTICULAR GROUP.
LIKE, OH, WHY'D YOU NAME IT THOUGH? DAY? YEAH.
IT WAS ALMOST WITH THE COMMUNITY WANTED, SO.
AND WOULD THEY LIKE TO VOLUNTEER? AND WOULD YOU LIKE TO VOLUNTEER? YOU'LL GET AN IMMEDIATE EMAIL FROM ME.
THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE NAME OF THE BOAT.
SO IF WE COULD JUST HAVE MAYBE THAT AS AN ACTION ITEM THAT YEARS AGO.
REALLY JUST LIKE BOAT BASE, THEY NAMED THIS BOAT.
THE PUBLIC CHOSE IT WAS PROBABLY ALSO, YEAH, THEY PROBABLY ALL LIKE THERE'S NO WRITING VOTE.
AND I KNOW WHO PUT ALL THOSE NAMES IN
I NEED TO DO THAT ACTUALLY WE BEFORE THE SPRING SO WE CAN GET THE SIGNS IN PLACE AND HAVE THE IN BEFORE THE TRAIL'S HIGHLY USED AGAIN.
SO THAT SHOULD THAT BE LIKE AN ACTION ITEM BY LIKE MARCH? REALISTICALLY I SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT INTO HER BY THE, BY FEBRUARY.
SO IT'S UP IN FEBRUARY AND IT'S DECIDED ON.
BATHROOMS. WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR BATHROOM? NICE.
REALLY? SO WE HAVE HIT A LOT OF HICCUPS WITH OUR BATHROOM, AS YOU ALL KNOW.
UM, IT'S CURRENTLY STILL NOT, UM, PASSCODE.
UM, SO IT IS THERE AND IT IS READY TO BE OPENED, BUT IT CANNOT BE OPENED YET.
THERE ARE A COUPLE THINGS ON THE HONEY DO LIST THAT NEED TO BE FIXED BEFORE WE OPEN IT.
UM, AND UNFORTUNATELY THE WATER FOUNTAIN AND WATER FILLER THAT WE BOUGHT WITH THE BUILDING DOESN'T MEET OUR A DA COMPLIANCE.
UM, EVEN THOUGH IT'S AN A DA SO I HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE.
WHAT WAS THAT? THAT'S BECAUSE OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY? NO, IT'S LIKE A STATE THING.
I KNOW IT'S OFF BY TWO INCHES.
OH, YOU CAN TWO INCHES TOO LOW.
WHAT IS IT? THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
IT'S A FILLER AND WATER FOUNTAIN COMBO.
SO IT FILLS YOUR OWN CONTAINER.
SO AND THAT'S WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT FOR OUT THERE.
THERE'S TOO MANY KIDS WITH WATER BOTTLES AND SO THERE MUST BE THE MOST HYDRATED GENERATION OF ALL TIME.
YEAH, BUT SO THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT A DA COMPLIANCE FOR THIS SPECIFIC TYPE OF UNIT HAS TO BE 30 INCHES FROM A CERTAIN POINT.
CAN YOU LOWER THE GROUND TWO INCHES? SHE CAN DO A LOT, BUT UM, I HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE.
SO THAT IS SOMETHING OLD THEN, UM, SEND IT BACK.
I'LL USE IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
BUT ALSO BECAUSE THE VENDOR KNOW THAT THOUGH, YOU CAN'T LIFT IT UP.
SHOULDN'T THE VENDOR KNOW THAT FAULT? WELL, IT IS, IT IS.
WHEN WE GAVE THEM THE CODE THAT WE WERE GOING OFF OF, THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF THAT CHANGE.
SO THIS WAS A CHANGE THAT HAPPENED IN 23 IN THE PROCESS OF DOING OUR BATHROOM THAT WE WEREN'T AWARE OF.
SO IT'S JUST LIKE, IT'S THOSE EXTRA HICCUPS AT THIS POINT.
SO HOPEFULLY, UM, WHEN I RETIRE, THE BATHROOM WILL BE OPEN
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE, WE'LL ALL MEET AT THE BATHROOM FROM PARTY.
LUCKILY IT'S WINTER TIME AND THAT, AND ALL THE HEAT'S IN IT, THE WATER'S IN IT.
THIS IS THE ONE THING HOLDING IT UP RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S A LITTLE TOUCHING THINGS THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
WE DON'T HAVE THE KEYS FOR IT YET.
UM, WHEN THEY SET IT, THEY HAD TO FIX SOMETHING IN ONE, THE RESTROOM, UM, FLOORS.
AND IT WASN'T, THE CONCRETE HADN'T SET YET.
SO WHEN THEY DID SET IT ONTO THE GROUND, A HOLE CAVE INTO THE CONCRETE.
SO WE HAD TO REFINISH THE BATHROOM BEFORE AGAIN.
SO IT'S LIKE THOSE TYPE OF THINGS LIKE INCIDENTALS THAT HAPPENED DURING INSTALLATION.
SO WE'RE JUST WAITING AND WITH THE HOLIDAYS AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AND THEN WE HAD FREEZES
[00:45:01]
SO THEY COULDN'T COME IN AND FIX IT.SO IT'S JUST BEEN, SO IF YOU HAD TO RENDER A GUESS, SO YOU THINKING THIS COULD BE RECTIFIED BY MARCH? IT HAS TO BE RECTIFIED BY THIS MONTH.
SO BY THIS MONTH COULD YOU SAY IT? IT HAS TO BE LIKE THIS.
AS LONG AS I CAN GET THE FILLER DELIVERED AND INSTALLED BY THE END OF THIS MONTH.
SHOULD YOU? RIGHT NOW THAT'S EXPECTATIONS IS IT'LL BE USABLE IN FEBRUARY.
CAN CALL THOUGH
OUR BUS, OUR BUS SYSTEM ALWAYS PARKS OVER HERE OR OVER THERE AND USES A FACILITY.
PEOPLE WILL BE HAPPY ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S JUST NOT READY YET.
AND IF IT'S NOT, WHO'S GONNA BE HOLDING THE HOSE TO FIT? WHAT ABOUT
LET'S START REWRITING THIS JOB DESCRIPTION.
HEY BOB, OTHER DUTIES AS A SIGN IS IN THERE.
IT'S IN THERE, BUT ON CLEARANCES.
SO THIS IS WHAT I'M GONNA DO AT THIS POINT.
I DO HAVE A FILE OF WHO HAS WHAT.
I WILL EMAIL PEOPLE INDEPENDENTLY ON IF I'M MISSING ANYTHING AT THIS POINT.
SO JUST LOOK FOR AN EMAIL FROM ME.
I ASK DID YOU GET LIKE I DID IT TWICE.
DID THEY SEND IT TO YOU? NO, THEY'RE NOT GETTING IT BACK TO ME.
I HAVEN'T GOTTEN SENT, YOU KNOW, I HAD TO, THEY DIDN'T SEND IT TO ME.
I HAD TO GO BACK IN THERE AND PRINT IT OUT.
SOMETIMES THEY SEND ME AN EMAIL OR ANYTHING.
LIKE YOU HAVE TO GO BACK INTO THAT.
I DON REMEMBER WHAT'S IN THERE.
HOW OFTEN DO YOU WANT THEM UPDATED? EVERY YEAR.
SO YOU'RE GOOD FOR FIVE YEARS? YEAH.
'CAUSE I, MY OLD SCHOOL, SO HAVE AT IT HAVE AT IT NOW WE HAVE SCHOOLS LIKE EVERY 30 DAYS OR SO.
OH NO, THERE'S, SO IF YOU GO IN, THERE'S PROBABLY A PLACE FOR YOU TO PRINT THE WHATEVER.
YEAH, I PRINTED MY OWN NOW, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER IF I GOT AN EMAIL OR I DIDN'T BECAUSE I KNOW I HAD TO SIGN BACK IN TO GET IT.
BUT I DUNNO IF I GOT THE EMAIL TO TELL ME IT WAS DONE, SIGNED READY? YEAH.
AND FROM WHAT I, WE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES WITH OUR SUMMER CAMP STAFF ABOUT THE WAY THAT THEY DO THIS ONE.
I FORGET WHICH, WHICH ONE, WHICH ONE ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THE CHILD ABUSE.
SO IT MUST BE THAT ONE BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR SUMMER CAMP STAFF SAID IF I CLICK IT AND I DON'T PRINT IT RIGHT AWAY, I LOSE THE ABILITY TO GO BACK IN.
AND I WAS LIKE, WELL THAT CAN'T BE POSSIBLE.
'CAUSE THIS WAS LIKE A PAID, YOU SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO IT FOR FIVE YEARS.
SO WE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES OF WHERE THEY OPENED IT, HOW WE COULD PRINT IT.
IT WAS A WHOLE, IT WAS A WHOLE MESS THIS SUMMER, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE TRYING TO BRING CAMPS UP ON BY LIKE THE END OF FEBRUARY, EARLY MARCH.
SO WE CAN HAVE ALL THIS RECTIFIED BEFORE CAMPS.
LIKE THE STATE POLICE WAS LIKE WITHIN LIKE 10 MINUTES.
IT WASN'T EVEN, IT DIDN'T EVEN TAKE THAT LONG.
CHILD ABUSE, THAT'S TOOK A COUPLE DAYS.
AND THEN I JUST WENT BACK IN AND EVEN PRINTED.
WHAT DID, JUST, IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS A VOLUNTEER POOL, WHAT, WHAT DID, CAN THEY JUST DO THAT SIGNED ONE OR DO THEY, WHAT KIND OF CLEARANCE? THE SAME ONES YOU GUYS HAVE WHEN YOU'RE, WHEN YOU'RE WITH KIDS, IT BECOMES, YOU NEED THE PA CRIMINAL AND YOU NEED THE CHILD ABUSE ARE THE TWO BIG ONES THAT YOU NEED.
THE STATE, THE FBI CLEARANCE IS ONE.
IF YOU'RE WORKING WITH THEM INDEPENDENTLY AND YOU'RE REALLY AN EMPLOYEE WORKING WITH THEM ALONE CAMP HAVE, SO ALL THAT YOU USED AT LIKE COMMUTE ON UM, FALL FAST AND STUFF.
ALL THE VOLUNTEERS THAT I HAD, UNLESS, HOW DO I PUT THIS? YES.
SOME OF THE YES, TECHNICALLY YES.
BUT WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM LIKE THE CHURCH COME OVER AND HELP.
THAT'S ON THEM TO HAVE THOSE, THEY DON'T HAVE TO SHOW THOSE TO ME.
I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE THEM BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD.
SO IF WE'RE LOOKING FOR A VOLUNTEER POOL, THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO SHOW ME 'CAUSE THEY'RE COMING UNDER ME.
BUT IF LIKE, SO THEN IS THAT THEIR EXPENSE? THEY DO.
AND THAT'S THE FUN THING IS IS LIKE IF YOU WERE A HEAD OF A, LIKE, LIKE YOU'RE HEAD OF THE PICKLEBALL, SO I'M LOOKING AT YOU.
SO
YOU AS THAT HEAD PERSON OF THAT EVENT IS LIABLE FOR HAVING ALL THEIR CLEARANCES.
I JUST NEED TO KNOW YOU AS THE HEAD PERSON ON SITE.
YOU HAVE YOURS AND YOU HAVE SAID THAT YOU HAVE EVERYBODY ELSE'S.
I DON'T NEED THEM INDEPENDENTLY FROM A GROUP, BUT INDEPENDENCE.
SO SUE, WE WILL JUST TOUCH BASE WITH WHOMEVER, BUT NOW THAT YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU COULD POTENTIALLY GO IN AND FIND IT AND YOU'RE, WE'LL SEE IF THAT WORKS OUT.
UM, ANY LIKE RECAPS SINCE, UH, FOR DECEMBER EVENTS? I MEAN YOUR THOUGHTS ON, ON HOW THINGS WENT WITH A RAIDER AND SO AIR RAIDER WENT FORWARD.
[00:50:01]
THE ONE THING THAT UM, WE HAD THAT I WISH I HAD DONE BETTER FOR WAS HAVE MORE OF OUR, UM, WHEN WE WERE THERE ON THOSE NIGHTS, WE, UM, IT WAS REALLY HARD TO ADVERTISE WHO WE WERE WITH THE AMOUNT OF LAYERS THAT WE HAD TO WEARSO IT WASN'T GONNA JUST WEAR MY T-SHIRT THAT DAY.
SO REALLY PEOPLE JUST ASSUMED WE WERE WITH THE CHARACTERS.
BUT THEN EVEN AT THAT POINT IT DIDN'T STAR.
SO, AND THEN IT WAS ON THE DAYS THAT WE WEREN'T THERE, WE DIDN'T HAVE A BANNER THAT SAID HOLIDAY LA SHOW BROUGHT TO YOU BY SO LITTLE MISHAPS THAT WE HAD THROUGH THIS ONE.
BUT UM, I'LL HAVE THAT ORDER IN NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR NEXT YEAR.
BUT WE ARE MEETING WITH AIR WRITERS NEXT WEEK TO GO OVER HOW THEY FELT THINGS WENT.
UM, UH, YOU KNOW, THEY DID TAKE ALL THE LIGHTS DOWN AND THEY'RE STORING THEM OVER THERE FOR NOW.
UM, SO BUT THEN IT DOES, THE LIGHTS DO COME BACK TO US OR THEY'RE HAPPY.
NO, FOR THIS YEAR THEY WERE HAPPY TO STORE THEM BECAUSE THE WAY THAT WE DID IT WAS THEY WERE DISASSEMBLED AND PUT INTO BOXES AND THEN NEATLY STORED INTO OUR SHED.
THEY WERE KINDA LIKE,
ALL OF THOSE PIECES TAKE SOME OF 'EM TAKE 25 MINUTES JUST TO ASSEMBLE TO THEM PLUG IN.
SO IT WAS RESEMBLING THEM AND DISASSEMBLING THEM.
THEY WERE KINDA LIKE, WE'RE JUST GONNA PUT 'EM IN THE BAR AND NOTHING'S GONNA HAPPEN.
THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM UNTIL NEXT YEAR.
SO I'LL LET YOU GUYS KNOW NEXT MONTH ON HOW THAT MEETING GOES NEXT WEEK.
BUT WE DID HAVE A MEETING WITH THE FIRE GUYS, UM, ABOUT THE PICTURES WITH SANTA AND IT WAS ALL POSITIVE THINGS.
UM, EVERYBODY WAS REALLY POSITIVE ABOUT THE EVENT.
UM, I CAN'T SPEAK HIGHLY ENOUGH OF OUR SANTA, LIKE HE DID GREAT.
IT WAS HIS FIRST ONE HE HAD DONE.
UM, AND HE DID A FABULOUS JOB.
I THINK HE LOOKED LIKE THE REAL DEAL.
UM, AND A COUPLE THINGS THAT WE DO NEED TO WORK ON OR THINGS THAT WE DISCUSSED KIND OF AT THE EVENT ITSELF WAS WE NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB OF KEEPING THE LINE IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LINE AND HOW WE'RE CALLING OUT NUMBERS.
I DID GET THE BIGGEST LOUDEST MEGAPHONE I COULD ON AMAZON THE OTHER DAY, SO HOPEFULLY THAT HELPS US.
UM, BUT THE THREE THAT WERE WORKING UP AT THE PICTURES ITSELF, UM, THEY LOVED HOW QUICKLY WE COULD GET THAT STUFF IN AND OUT.
EMAILED PICTURES TO THOSE FAMILIES WITHIN SECONDS OF THEM BEING THEIR PICTURES.
UM, PEOPLE WERE REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT 'CAUSE THEY COULD LOOK AT THEM AND BE LIKE, CAN YOU QUICKLY, LIKE, CAN YOU TAKE ANOTHER ONE? IF WE GET IN LINE, CAN YOU DO ANOTHER ONE? AND YOU KNOW, IT WAS REALLY NICE.
WE DID THINK THAT THE WAY THAT WE HAD IT SET IT UP WAS REALLY NICE.
UM, WE HAD THE TWO BOUNCE HOUSES.
I'M NOT SURE IF ALL RENT BOUNCE HOUSES AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
UM, IT WAS AN ADDITIONAL $900 TO HAVE THE CHAIR AND THE BOUNCE HOUSE THERE THAT NIGHT.
UM, SO IT WAS ONE OF THOSE WE DID, I THINK WE WERE OUT $200 BY THE END OF THE EVENT, BUT UM, GENERALLY WE, WE CHARGE IT JUST SO WE'RE EVEN AT THE END OF THE NIGHT.
SO YOU WOULD NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING FOR THE KIDS TO DO IF NOT.
WELL, I BOUGHT NEW BOUNCES HOUSES FOR CAMP, SO I'M HOPING THAT THOSE COULD BE THEY CHRISTMAS PUT CANDY CANES ON THEM.
YEAH, WELL LIKE BRUCE LITTLE CANDLES FOR ANYBODY THAT WASN'T THERE.
THIS IS OH NO, YEAH, THAT'S, THAT'S THE, HE WAS SUCH A GOOD, HE GREAT.
I MEAN, THERE WERE PEOPLE COMING UP.
HE WAS SO GOOD TO, TO US SAYING LIKE, SERIOUSLY, IS HE FROM THE NORTH?
THEY, THEY REALLY FELT LIKE HE WAS REALLY GOOD.
I WOULD JUST SAY SINCE HOW ABOUT PRIORITIZE? WE ASK.
WELL, AND THAT'S, SO MELISSA AND I DURING THE AERATOR THING, WE'RE LIKE, WE SHOULD HAVE, WE DON'T HAVE JACKETS FOR WINTER EVENTS THAT SHOWCASE WHO WE ARE.
SO WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING AT DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
HOW ABOUT BIBS? JUST A TYVEK BIB WITH THE BIG LOGO ON IT.
BECAUSE YOU BUY A JACKET, YOU'RE NOT BUYING A JACKET FOR EVERYBODY, BUT IF YOU PUT A BIB ON IT, THAT TIES HERE.
THERE'S, AND THEY'RE TYVEK AND THEY'RE EASY ENOUGH TO GET.
YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA TO PUT AROUND TO EVERYBODY.
OR LIKE A HAT IS ANOTHER GOOD ONE TOO, RIGHT? NO, IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
SO WITH A HAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF HARD TO, THAT'S THE THING, MELISSA HAD OUR SNOW HAT ON WITH LIKE THE LEATHER INSIGNIA ON IT AND IT WAS LIKE IN THE DAYTIME.
AND IT COULD EVEN BE LIKE GLOW IN THE DARK FOR LIKE, LIKE DIFFERENT EVENTS.
SO YEAH, WE'RE LOOKING INTO THAT.
WE ALREADY PUT IN STUFF, PUT SOME IDEAS OUT TO OUR T-SHIRT PERSON TO SEE WHAT HE COULD COME UP WITH TOO.
I I I WOULD SAY THE ONLY THING THAT WAS PROBLEMATIC WAS THE, THE PROCESS FOR GETTING PEOPLE IN IN LINE.
AND THE PART OF THAT WAS BEING PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO HEAR, BUT ALSO LIKE FROM THE, FROM THE PERSON WHO WAS DOING IT.
LIKE I HAD NO WAY PEOPLE WOULD COME UP TO ME AND SAY, WELL, WHAT NUMBER AM I
[00:55:02]
89? BUT THAT DOESN'T, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE NUMBER 8, 9, 9 DOESN'T MEAN THEY HAD NO SENSE.SO WHEN YOU'RE KIND OF FIGURING OUT A WAY, LIKE I, I'D BE HAPPY TO PARTICIPATE IF, IF YOU WANTED, BUT ALMOST LIKE THEY PEOPLE WANTED LIKE A TICKET.
SO THEY HAD A SENSE AND THEN WE, THEN WE COULD EVEN SHOW WHAT NUMBER WE'RE ON SO THEY, THEY COULD LOOK OVER AND GET THEIR KIDS OUT AND DRESSED AND READY TO GO.
'CAUSE THEY, THEY HAD NO SENSE.
AND I COULDN'T GIVE 'EM ANY SENSE.
AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAID, LIKE AS THEY WERE LEAVING, LIKE THIS WAS REALLY GREAT, BUT LIKE THIS WAS THE ONE THING THAT WE WERE VERY CONFUSED ABOUT.
AND SOME PEOPLE REALLY WANTED TO WAIT IN LINE.
YOU WERE LIKE, BUT I SPECIFICALLY MADE THIS EVENT SO YOU WEREN'T IN LINE.
SO IT WAS KIND OF HARD TO MANAGE THAT.
AND IF WE HAD, IF THEY HAD A NUMBER AND WE WERE ANNOUNCING A NUMBER RIGHT.
AND SAY YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, NUMBER, YOU KNOW, THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE IS ON DECK.
LIKE THERE'S WAYS TO GET AROUND IT.
BUT, AND THEN PEOPLE COULD WAIT OR NOT, IT'S UP TO THEM.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
WE DO SOME KIND OF NUMBER SYSTEM.
OR CALL OUT SYSTEM BETTER FOR NEXT YEAR.
WE'RE ALSO GONNA DO REGISTRATION BY TIME SLOT.
SO WE DON'T HAVE THE
THE THING STARTED AT FIVE AND 4 59.
AND THEN THEY ALL WANTED HOT CHOCOLATE AND POPCORN RIGHT AWAY, RIGHT AWAY.
YOU KNOW, IT WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WERE ALSO THAT POPCORN WASN'T VERY GOOD FIRE ASS.
THAT AS MUCH AS THEY LOVED THE POPCORN, IF WE COULD DO A DIFFERENT KIND OF SNACK.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE POPCORN, BUT IT WAS THE, NOT TASTY, BUT NO, THEY THREW IT BUT THEY DIDN'T.
YOU KNOW, AND THEN THE HOT CHOCOLATE THAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEAT.
YOU KNOW, USING THE HOT WATER.
SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WAS A GREAT IDEA.
IT LOOKED FUN AND IT WAS, IT SMELLED GREAT, BUT IT WAS TOO MUCH TO MANAGE.
WELL AND AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS TOO, LIKE WE HAD NEVER DONE IT BEFORE, SO IT WAS LIKE, DO WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE FOR THIS? LIKE WE MANNED ALL THE STATIONS THAT WE HAD KNOWN.
BUT YOU NEVER THINK OF THE OUTSIDE THINGS.
LIKE WE WEREN'T ANTICIPATING SO MANY PEOPLE COMING AT ONE TIME.
SO INSTEAD OF WE BEING AT MY STATION, I WAS DOING PARKING AS A FIRE.
I WAS LIKE, I'M HOPING THIS IS OKAY.
I LIKE HOPE PEOPLE ALLOWED TO DO THIS.
YOU KNOW, IT WAS ALL THOSE KIND OF UNKNOWNS.
SO, WE'LL, HEY, FOR THE, FOR A FIRST TIME EVENTS, I THINK THE PEOPLE, THE COMMUNITY WAS, WE WAS LIKE 30 PEOPLE WALK IN THAT NIGHT TOO WAS VERY, VERY HAPPY.
WE HAD 96 TOTAL FAMILIES COME'S.
AND THAT SOME OF THE FAMILIES WERE THE LOWEST, WERE FIVE PEOPLE.
AND THAT'S ALMOST ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE CAME THAT NIGHT.
I, I THINK IT, I THINK IT WAS A LOT FOR A FIRST ATTEMPT, IT WAS A SUCCESS.
BUT I THINK IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO LOOK BACK AND SAY HOW OH, A HUNDRED PERCENT, HOW CAN WE IMPROVE? I, I THINK THE FIREHOUSE LOOKED AMAZING.
AND FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING MYSELF, IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS EVER THERE.
AND THE TRUCK AND THE FIREMEN, LIKE, IT WAS JUST THE WHOLE THING WITH SAND IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THE CRAFT GOT THEIR BEST USE.
BUT THEY WERE ONES WE ALREADY HAD.
ALL THE ONES THAT WE ALREADY HAD.
BUT YEAH, WE'RE, WE ALREADY BOUGHT THE GOODIES FOR NEXT YEAR, THE GIVEAWAYS FOR IT AT LEAST.
AND, UM, WE HAVE SANTA ON THE DOCKET FOR NEXT YEAR.
IT IS DECEMBER 3RD NEXT YEAR INSTEAD OF LOOKING AFTER.
'CAUSE THEN I HAD TO JUMP ON THE BUS THE NEXT DAY FOR THE BUS TRIP.
AND IT WAS A LOT OF QUICK THINGS.
AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID THIS YEAR.
UM, BUT, UH, YEAH, I WILL, IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED, WE HAVE OUR NOTES FROM ALL OUR MEETINGS.
IF, IF WHOEVER VOLUNTEERED THAT NIGHT, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN READING IT, I'M HAPPY TO PUT THAT ON THE DRIVE JUST SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE OUR HEADS ARE FOR NEXT YEAR.
UM, OTHER THAN THAT, THE DECEMBER EVENTS, WE HAD A REALLY GOOD TRIP TO THE ROCKETTES IN DECEMBER.
UM, IT WAS A, WE SOLD OUT IN AUGUST ON THIS TRIP.
AND SO WE ARE PUTTING IN PLACE, EVERYONE THAT GOT OFF THE BUS THAT DAY ASKED ME WHEN THE NEXT ONE WAS.
AND I'M GOING TO LEAVE, MESS THIS UP.
WE ARE GOING TO, WE'RE DOING A SPLIT TRIP.
IT'S A, UM, NEW YORK CITY ON YOUR OWN AND SHOW DAY.
AND THE SHOW THAT WE ARE SEEING IS HAMILTON.
LET ME FIGURE OUT WHAT DAY WE ALREADY BOUGHT EVERYTHING FOR IT.
SO IT'S, THAT'S A LOT TO MANAGE THOSE TRIPS.
GOTTA GET RUN BACK ON THE BUS.
HOW DO YOU, HOW ARE YOU DOING WITH VOLUNTEERS FOR THAT OR WHOEVER IS IT? IS THAT USUALLY IT'S GENERALLY AT ME.
THAT'S A LOT THAT MAUREEN VOLUNTEER.
[01:00:01]
SO THE ROCKETTE IS, YOU'RE STILL GOING TO DO THE ROCKETTE AND IN NEW YORK CITY ON YOUR OWN? YES.SO THIS ONE IS IN, I I CAN'T FIND IT.
WE'LL, WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW IT.
OBVIOUS NOT THE SECOND WEDNESDAY.
UM, BUT UM, ON TOP OF THAT, SO I DO KNOW THAT THE PRICE FOR THE HAMILTON, I BELIEVE WE'RE PUTTING IT UP FOR TWO 50.
SO THAT, THAT INCLUDES YOUR BUS, YOUR TIP TO THE DRIVER.
A SNACK ON THE BUS AND HAMILTON TICKETS THEMSELVES.
YOU GONNA LOCK THE DOOR FOR YOU? UM, YEAH.
AND THEN YOU HAVE THE REST OF THE DAY YOU HAVE TO GET ON THE BUS AT 4 45.
SO YOU HAVE THE REST OF THE DAY.
HOW WERE THE TICKET LOCATION FOR THE ROCK HATS? LIKE YOU BOUGHT, BOUGHT A PACKAGE OF THE TICKETS.
THEY WERE, IF THIS WAS THE STAGE YOU WERE RIGHT HERE.
YOU WERE ABOUT EIGHT, 10 ROWS BEYOND THE STAGE.
SO WE OH, MAUREEN BECAUSE SHE'S A BROADWAY PERSON, SHE ALWAYS GETS US LIKE THE BEST TICKETS.
SO THIS IS THE SAME TYPE OF PLACEMENT FOR HAMILTON AS WELL.
SO IF YOU'RE GONNA GO GET 'EM TO, I THINK WE'VE ALREADY SOLD FOUR 12 TICKET TUNNEL.
WE CAN BUY MORE IF IT'S, BUT WE DID THIS FOR HARRY POTTER LAST YEAR AND WE ONLY SOLD LIKE A THIRD OF THE TICKETS.
SO WE'RE BUYING SMALL AND THEY ONLY, THEY WOULD LET YOU BUY IN TWELVES.
SO WE CAN BUY MORE TICKETS IF WE NEED TO, BUT WE WANNA PUSH THAT.
WE ONLY HAVE A MINIMUM AMOUNT NUMBER SO MORE PEOPLE BUY THEM.
CAN YOU SEND ME THE DATE FOR THAT? YEAH, I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
GOT ANYTHING ELSE? DID YOU HAVE THE DATE FOR THE TRIP FOR THE ROCKETS FOR THIS YEAR? IT WAS THE FOUR.
BUT THEY WILL BE THE SAME WHATEVER THAT WEDNESDAY OF DECEMBER IS.
WE TRY TO DO IT AT THE SAME TIME.
DID YOUR GIRLS LIKE IT? THEY LOVED IT.
WELL MY LITTLE ONE'S SCARED OF SANTA.
DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE HEARD HER SCREAMING SANTA YOU THEIR PLATFORM.
THE TWO OTHER ONES WERE LIKE ENTHRALLED BY IT AND SHE SAT THERE.
THERE'S JUST SO MUCH GOING ON.
YEAH, SHE KICKED THE SUBWAY AS WE WERE GETTING ON AT ONE POINT.
SHE GOES TRAIN TO THE WORST AND EVERYBODY STARTED CRACKING UP.
WHO WAS ON THE SUBWAY? LIKE, THEY'RE LIKE MEGA TRANSPORTATION.
BUT THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR OKAY.
SO ARE THERE ANY OTHER, UM, ONLY OTHER THING I JUST JOTTED DOWN WAS, 'CAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN DECEMBER.
OH, I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU GUYS.
SO THIS CAME UP IN A HEATED DISCUSSION.
WHEN I WAS BUYING THE PICKLEBALL NETS BECAUSE IT BECAME ONE OF THOSE THINGS OF LIKE, WE'RE READING ALL THIS STUFF ON THE USA PICKLEBALL WEBSITE AND THE ONES THAT WE HAVE ARE 36 INCHES AND IT SAYS 36 INCHES ON THEIR WEBSITE.
AND I COULDN'T FIND ANY THAT WERE 38 THAT WEREN'T ADJUSTABLE.
AND I FELT LIKE THEY WERE FLIMSY AND GONNA FALL.
I THINK UM, WALMART SOUNDS AFRAID IN NINE BOOKS, BUT WHERE'S THE 38 COME FROM? ALWAYS TWO INCHES SHORT HAIR, GUYS.
THIS IS WHAT I'M DEALING WITH.
WHERE'S THE 38 COMING FROM, I GUESS IS WHAT I NEED TO UNDERSTAND.
BUT THEN THERE'S A MIDDLE PART THAT QUEUES IT THE SAME.
OH, THE MEASUREMENT'S DIFFERENT.
THE MEASUREMENT'S DIFFERENT FROM, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NUMBER.
LET ME, THAT'S WHAT I'M READING.
AND WHAT DID THEY SAY? 38? 38 AT EITHER END.
SO, SO IT SHOULD BE CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NET HEIGHT SIDELINE THAT COMES IN THE MIDDLE.
34 INCHES AT CENTER AND 36 TOTAL.
IT'S 34 AT THE CENTER AND 36 AT THE END.
YEAH, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BECAUSE THE Y HAS, UM, A ROD THAT
UM, THEY, THEY ALL HAVE ROT AT THE, IN THE CENTER, BUT JUST 34 INCHES AT THE CENTER.
36 IN THE SIDELINES ARE YOURS.
WHY DID WE THINK WE NEEDED THEM? WAS IT BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THEY WERE THE WRONG SIZE OR? YEAH, WELL THEY WERE, AREN'T THEY?
[01:05:01]
UM, WERE THEY TATTERED? LIKE WERE THEY THE ONES THAT YOU COULD I HAVEN'T PLAYED THERE IN QUITE A WHILE, BUT WERE THEY THE ONES YOU COULD ADJUST FOR BADMINTON? WERE THERE REALLY HIGH POLE ALSO? YES.YEAH, BECAUSE THERE'S TWO EXTRA FOLDS OR FOUR EXTRA FOLDS IN EACH ONE.
SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE A MULTI-PACK.
THAT'S WHY THERE WAS ALL SOME MAYBE I'LL BRING A TAPE MEASURE.
I'VE BEEN TOLD, I HAVE BEEN TOLD ALREADY.
I HAVE BEEN TOLD I WAS THERE TODAY.
UM, I'VE BEEN TOLD BY A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LOVE TO GET, AND I'M SURE THERE'S REASON WHY THAT'S NOT MACHINE.
UM, AND I GUESS PARTLY BECAUSE THE CLEARANCES, THAT SNACK MACHINE, IS THAT A CONCERN OF YOURS OR IS IT SPACE? NO, THE CONCERN IS GENERALLY THEY NEVER WORK.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE SAW LAST MONTH THEY RAN LITERALLY INTO THE WALL, INTO THE GYMNASIUM AND, AND PUT A HUMAN SIZE HOLE IN THE WALL.
IS THAT BASKETBALL? WE'RE ASSUMING.
NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT DAY IT OCCURRED.
AND I JUST FOUND OUT WHEN I GOT BACK, I WAS LIKE, THAT WAS A MONTH AGO THAT IT HAPPENED.
SO THINKING HUMAN SIZED HOLE, SOMEBODY WENT SO HIT THE WALL, YOUR SHOULDER DOWN TO YOUR LIKE HIP.
THEY, THEY TRIPPED AND WENT LITTLE WALL.
THEY TRIPPED WHERE I IN THE SECOND CHIN, FORMER PLAYING PICKLEBALL.
YOU SHOULD, IF YOU GO BACK, YOU'LL SEE JUST AND A NICE DROP.
AND THE PLY, THE PLY, THE DRYWALL THAT WAS THERE IS SO THICK THAT THEY HAD TO SPECIALLY GO FIND IT TO GO FIX IT.
AND THAT PERSON FOR LIKE EMERGENCY REALLY CARE OUTSIDE LIBRARY BECAUSE THERE'S AN OUTLET THERE OR THAT WALL WHERE YOU HAVE THE ROUND TABLE SOMETIMES.
WELL THAT'S OUTSIDE THE LIBRARY.
IF, IF THE WALKWAY IS TO FIRE CODE.
SO THAT, THOSE WERE MY TWO BIGGEST THINGS.
'CAUSE JEN HAS BEEN BRINGING THAT UP FOR YEARS.
WE NEED A VEN VENDING MACHINE.
AND I, WE HAD IT ONE AT UPPER MARION.
I WAS ALWAYS GIVING PEOPLE MONEY THAT BUT YOU SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE.
WELL WE WERE TRYING TO TAKE THEIRS TO GIVE THEM COINS OR GIVING THEM SOMETHING TO DO IT.
AND NOW I KNOW THEY HAVE THE CARDS ON IT.
SO SMARTS, SNACKS WOULD GO ONE BECAUSE THEN IT'S HEALTHY STUFF.
YOUR CREW WOULD BE SO EXCITED.
I MEAN IS IT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO KNOW THOUGH.
IS IT THE MEMBERS THAT WANT A VENDING MACHINE? I SUPPOSE I NEED TO VOTE.
THE ONES THAT WEREN'T IT'S STABBED.
I THINK THE STAFFS GETS ASKED ALL THE TIME.
'CAUSE THEY GET ASKED, ASKED ALL THE TIME.
NOT BECAUSE THEY WANT THE SNACKS.
DID THEY WANT THE MENU MACHINE? THEY DO WANT, WE SHOULD SELL SNACKS TOO.
