[00:00:01]
IS SIX O'CLOCK.[1. Call to Order and Committee Attendance]
HOW ABOUT IF WE CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER AND UM, TAYLOR, IF YOU WOULD TAKE OUR ATTENDANCE, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.[2. Approval of Minutes]
FIRST ORDER.MS. LEWIS, WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE MINUTES FROM THE TWO 14 MEETING, ALL FOUR PAGES OF THEM
ANY RECOMMENDATIONS OR SUGGESTIONS? NO.
I HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE MINUTES.
WE HAVE NO, DID YOU GET THE, DID YOU GET THE PASSWORD TO THE WIFI? WELL, IT'S A PUBLIC.
UM, WE DO NOT HAVE PUBLIC HERE, SPEAKING OF PUBLIC, SO WE'RE GONNA SKIP OVER NUMBER THREE.
AND WE ARE MOVING ALONG
[4. New Business]
LET'S GO TO THE NEW BUSINESS FIRST AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT, UM, PARK BOARD BUSINESS.SO FOR THE PARK BOARD EVENTS VERSUS AND PARTICIPATION AT THE EVENTS.
UM, I HAVE QUESTIONS ON THIS AS FAR AS WHICH EVENTS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
AND IS THIS WHERE THE VOLUNTEER FOR 20? YES.
WELL IT'S, I GUESS IT'S A TWO PART.
SO THE FIRST ONE WAS THE GOOGLE UM, SHEET.
MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU CAN COME AND VOLUNTEER FOR A COUPLE THINGS, UM, TO PUT IT ON THERE SO THAT I KNOW THAT YOU'RE COMING SO WE CAN PLAN ACCORDINGLY.
UM, AND THEN THE OTHER PART WAS TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS NEED TO VOTE.
I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAD ENOUGH TO VOTE LAST MONTH OR IT WAS UP FOR DISCUSSION.
WE'RE GONNA VOTE THIS MONTH ON WHAT EVENT YOU GUYS WANTED TO HELP POST.
'CAUSE WE WON'T BE DOING THE JAM THIS YEAR.
UM, SO TO GO TO THE SECOND PART FIRST SURE.
IN THE GOOGLE DOCUMENTS, THAT IS CALLED PARKS REC 2024 CALENDAR.
AND WE'VE HAD QUITE A FEW OF THE BOARD MEMBERS ALREADY SIGN UP.
SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, THAT ONE IS UPDATED.
SUE, CAN YOU, UM, PUT THE 2023 DOCUMENT INTO THE OLDER, THERE'S A FILE MARKED OLDER.
IF YOU COULD PUT THAT IN THERE.
THAT WAY WE DON'T GET CONFUSED.
AND THAT'S FOR US TO BE ABLE TO VOLUNTEER.
THE LAST PAGE OF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE FILLING OUT YET AT THIS POINT.
UM, BECAUSE IT IS THE, THE COMMUNITY FALL FEST.
SO WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF INFORMATION.
SO IT WOULD JUST BE THE EVENTS FIRST TAB AND THEN THE SECOND TAB IS THE SUMMER CONCERT SERIES.
SO IF PEOPLE CAN GO IN AND UM, VOLUNTEER FOR THOSE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
UM, I'M GONNA SKIP THE PARK BOARD EVENT FOR JUST A SECOND BECAUSE I WANT TO ALSO TALK ABOUT WHEN WE HAVE THE WORD VOLUNTEER.
UM, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO COLLECT SOME VOLUNTEERS FROM THE COMMUNITY.
AND I KNOW THEY NEED TO DO THEIR CLEARANCES.
BUT, AND IT SAYS TO SEE THE WEBSITE OUR, OUR UPPER PROVIDENCE WEBSITE.
AND ON THAT WEBSITE THERE IS A VOLUNTEER SECTION BUT IT'S FOR THE BOARD, THE COMMISSION OR A COMMITTEE.
THERE'S NO VOLUNTEER AREA FOR COMMUNITY TO VOLUNTEER AT EVENTS.
AND IF THEY KNEW THAT THAT WAS WHERE THEY NEEDED TO GO.
HAVE IT EASIER, YOU KNOW, SO MUCH EASIER FOR PEOPLE.
SO IF WE CAN DO UM, IF WE CAN DO THAT, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.
UM, ALRIGHT, SO FOR THE, FOR WHAT WE AS A BOARD WANT TO BE ABLE TO, UM, GET INVOLVED WITH.
BEST WAY TO DO THAT SUE, I GUESS IS GOING TO BE TO LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE AS FAR AS EVENTS COMING UP IN 2024.
ALRIGHT SO I CAN PULL THIS ONE UP, WHICH SHOWS WHAT THE DIFFERENT EVENTS ARE AND THEN I CAN READ THROUGH IT.
WE NEED CENSUS OF OPINION ON UM, MARCH 22ND IS THE TEAM FLASHLIGHT.
SO YOU'RE LOOKING FOR US AS A BOARD TO BE ABLE TO COMMIT TO HELPING ACTIS OR RUNNING IT OR? WELL, SO I THINK BECAUSE YOU GUYS WON'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RUN YOUR OWN EVENT THIS YEAR.
RIGHT? ALL OUR EVENTS ALREADY PLANNED AND READY TO GO.
LIKE MOST OF THE LOGISTICS ARE ALL IRONED OUT FROM EVERYTHING FROM THE TEANECK HUNT THROUGH FALL FEST ALREADY.
SO THERE'S NOT A LOT OF OTHER THINGS OUTSIDE OF HELPING WITH DAY OF OR PREP OR COUPLE DAYS OF PREP WORK.
THAT MEANS LIKE GETTING ALL OF OUR
[00:05:01]
EQUIPMENT ONTO THE SITE THAT NEEDS TO GO TO MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S THERE THAT DAY.MAKE SURE THINGS ARE SET UP, PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE, ARE THERE THINGS LIKE THAT WE CAN ALWAYS USE HELP ON FOR ALL THE EVENTS.
'CAUSE IT'S JUST HELPFUL 'CAUSE THERE'S ONLY THREE OF US.
SO, UM, I DON'T THINK THIS ONE MEANS ENTIRELY THAT ANYONE WILL HAVE A FIRM HAND ON THE EVENT, BUT IT'S HELPFUL FOR US TO HAVE AN EXTRA SET OF HANDS TO HELP OUT AT THE EVENT.
SO IF THERE'S ONE EVENT THAT YOU ALL WANT TO DO, THAT'S AWESOME BECAUSE THERE'S SEVEN OF YOU AND THAT'S SUPER HELPFUL FOR US.
BUT IF THERE'S MORE SO OF THE TIME CONSTRAINT FOR EVERYBODY AND EVERYONE'S CALENDARS DON'T ALIGN, THEN LET'S JUST DO, IF PEOPLE CAN COME TO MORE EVENTS THIS YEAR, THAT'S EVEN BETTER.
SO I THINK THE FIRST QUESTION WOULD BE, IS THERE AN EVENT THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LIST, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED TO HAVE A POSSIBLY SEVEN PERSON HELP ON? SO RIGHT NOW FOR ME MUSIC FEST IS GREAT AND IT'S A LONG DAY, BUT IT'S A VERY EASY EVENT TO RUN.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO DURING THE DAY THAT I NEED A TON OF HANDS ON CAR SHOW.
IT'S PRE-REGISTRATION, IT'S REGISTRATION DAY OF IT'S RAFFLED, IT'S CLEANUP, IT'S DAY TROPHIES OUT.
IT'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS THAT DAY.
THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO IT AS IT'S RUNNING.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU LAST I TRIED, I EXPECTED YOU TO COME IN SMELLING FROM SMOKE LIKE AN ACCIDENT.
I JUST, I'M A OBSERVER AT THIS POINT.
JUST MAKES MY JOB TOMORROW EASIER.
UM, SUMMER CONCERTS ARE ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE ONE OR TWO PEOPLE IF ONE OF US IS GONNA BE THERE.
UM, AND ONE OF US IS PARK AND REC STAFF ARE GONNA BE THERE HAVING AN EXTRA SET OF HANDS TO TALK TO PEOPLE, HAND OUT SWAG, UM, GO AROUND WITH THE REST OF THE FLYERS THAT WE HAVE FOR THE REST OF THE EVENTS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, THEY'RE ALWAYS NICE EVENINGS.
THERE ARE A COUPLE HOURS OF TIME.
IT'S NOT A HUGE TIME SUCK AND SOME OF YOU COME ANYWAY SO YOU'RE ALREADY THERE.
AND THEN IT'S ALWAYS FALL FEST.
THE MORE HANDS I HAVE ON DECK, THE EASIER THAT DAY RUNS.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE DO GET ABOUT 5,000 OR MORE PEOPLE UP AT THAT DAY, SO IT'S A LOT THAT GOES ON.
BUT THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT I WOULD SAY LIKE EVEN RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE ANY.
I THINK KEN'S COMING TO THE TEEN EGG HUNT.
SO IF YOU'RE COMING, JUST PUT IT ON THE, ON THE GOOGLE SHEET SO THAT I CAN MAKE A PLACE FOR EVERYBODY.
UM, THAT ONE IS, IF ANYBODY'S DONE IT BEFORE, TAYLOR, YOU'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE.
IT'S THE SHORTEST EVENT THAT WE DO.
BUT THE KIDS, THERE'S ALWAYS A HUNDRED KIDS AND THEY GO AT IT LIKE CRAZY AND WE HAVE, INSTEAD OF ICE CREAM THIS YEAR WE'RE DOING PRETZELS FOR THEM AND WE HAVE YARD GAMES TO KEEP 'EM OCCUPIED BEFORE THEY RUN OUT AND GET THAT, UM, ALL THOSE EGGS.
SO WE'RE HAVING THE PRICES ON THE BOOTH.
WE'LL HAVE IT THE SAME ONE 50 WE DID LAST YEAR.
THERE'S NO NUMBER SEVEN, THERE'S NO
WE TOOK THAT NUMBER SEVEN AND ANOTHER, ANOTHER NUMBER 57.
WHAT WAS, WE DID TAKE OUT A SPECIFIC NUMBER OUT OF IT COMPLETELY.
IF YOU COULD JUST FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED AND YOU'RE BETWEEN THAT NUMBER OUT
SO WHAT I'M HEARING IS BETWEEN MUSIC FEST, CAR SHOW, SUMMER CONCERTS AND FALL FEST.
AND WHAT YOU WOULD NEED IS FOR EACH OF US TO MAKE A BEST EFFORT COMMITMENT THAT WE'D ALL BE MM-HMM.
OKAY, SO FALL, THE MUSIC FEST IS MAY 4TH.
THE SUMMER CONCERT IS UM, JULY 28TH.
THAT'S THE ONE WITH FIREWORKS.
OH THAT IS, THATS THE SUMMER FEST.
SO THAT'S A JOINT THING WITH VALLEY FORGE BAPTIST CHURCH AND WE HANDLE THAT.
UH, THE SUMMER CONCERTS IS MAY THROUGH SEPTEMBER.
AND WE DO HAVE A TAYLOR SWIFT COVER BAND COMING, SO.
WHY ARE YOU DOING A TAYLOR ON THAT? I THINK HONORED.
UM, KNOWING THAT WE EACH NEED TO BE AT THESE EVENTS ANYHOW.
I MEAN WE ALL NEED TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE.
IS THERE ONE THAT WE WANNA MAKE A VOTE ON? DO ARE, IS OUR NAME GONNA BE ON THE FLYERS AT THAT POINT? OH YEAH.
WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR IT.
WE WERE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT THIS IN ANOTHER MEETING I HAD ABOUT CAR SHOW
[00:10:01]
STUFF AND HOW UM, WE'D LIKE TO MAKE MORE EFFORT OF ACKNOWLEDGING THOSE WHO SPONSOR IT FINANCIALLY AS WELL AS THOSE WHO TAKE THEIR TIME TO HELP US GET IT DONE.SO LOOKING AT THOSE DATES, DOES ANYBODY WANT TO START, UH, UM, IDEAS TO WHICH ONE THEY WOULD LIKE US TO BE ABLE TO BE ACTIVE? WHAT'S THE DATE OF THE TAYLOR SWIFT THAT I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT'S LOOKING.
I WAS GONNA SAY THERE MIGHT BE THE MOST NEED.
IT'S SWIFTY IN THE MIDNIGHT DAYS.
WHAT DAY? WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IS THE 17TH? IS IT SATURDAYS? ARE THEY ALL SATURDAYS SATURDAY.
THEY ALL SATURDAYS WHAT THE 17TH OF JULY IS? NO, THE SUMMER CONCERTS ARE WEDNESDAYS.
I SHOULD HAVE PUT THAT IN THERE.
SO, WE'LL, OKAY, WELL MAY 4TH IS OUT.
YEAH, THAT'S ALL WEEKEND THAT I HAVE TO WORK.
YEAH, ACTUALLY I HAD, I PRINTED OUT ALL THE STUFF AND I WAS MARKING WHEN I COULD.
THAT'S WHY YOU SEE ME IN THERE ONE WITH A QUESTION MARK.
I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S STILL A FIRM, BUT I CAN SAY I'LL DOUBLE CHECK IT.
I ONLY DO BECAUSE I HAVE, THAT SHOULD BE A SATURDAY.
WHAT'S THE HOURS FOR THAT? TEN TWO? I KNOW SHE PUT THE DAYS IN HERE.
THE CAR FEST MIGHT BE A GOOD ONE.
THE CAR, I THINK THE CAR FEST WOULD BE GREAT.
AND WE DO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR FATHER'S THAT DAY.
'CAUSE ALL OF OUR STAFF ARE DEAF.
THEY'RE ALL REQUIRED TO WORK THAT DAY.
SO IS EVERYBODY OKAY IF, I MEAN THAT'S ALSO A MORNING, 10 TO TWO, 10 TO TWO AND NOT EVERYBODY ALLOWED SHOW UP BECAUSE PEOPLE COME BY SEVEN TO GET THEIR CARS IN.
LIKE WE CAN MAKE IT INTO SHIFTS.
SO YOU'RE NOT HERE THE WHOLE TIME.
WE CAN, I CAN PLAY WITH WHATEVER.
AND AS MANY AS WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE.
WE AS A BOARD WILL COMMIT TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE DOING THE CAR SHOW.
THAT'S A SATURDAY, RIGHT? YES.
RAIN OR SHINE, CORRECT IT INSIDE.
BRING THE, WE'RE JUST BRING THEM ALL.
THE BOARD WON'T MIND COMING IN THE NEXT DAY.
'CAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE A BOARD MEETING THE NEXT DAY.
SO AFTER CAR SHOW AND WE GET WAWA DONATES, UM, MUFFINS AND COFFEE AND DONUTS FOR ALL THE REGISTERED PEOPLE FOR THIS.
THAT'S, SO THIS PLACE IS COVERED IN DONUTS AND MUFFINS AND SUGAR.
SO WE GET TO CLEAN THAT UP BEFORE YOU GUYS SHOW UP ON MONDAY FOR YOUR MEETING.
CAN WE PUT A CAR'S AE INTO THE CAR SHOW AND VOLUNTEER AS WELL? YEAH, THAT WOULD BE A LOT.
I, I'D LOVE TO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAND BY YOUR CAR THE WHOLE TIME.
PEOPLE LIKE TO PUT MY CAR AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WEREN'T ANY TVS THERE LAST YEAR THERE WERE NOT.
SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO YEAH, YEAH, I'D LIKE TO.
WHAT'S THAT? THE ONLY COMPETITION.
YOU COULD HAVE A HYBRID PLUG IN HYBRID.
OUR BOSS DID WANT US TO PUT A HYBRID TROPHY IN THERE.
ALRIGHT, WELL EVERYBODY FIRST ON THE LIST IS BOB.
UM, HE IS OUR NEW RECREATION COORDINATOR.
HE'S GOING TO BE TAKING ON ALL OF OUR SUMMER CAMPS AS WELL AS ALL OF OUR FIELD AND COMMUNITY CENTER RENTALS FOR NOW.
AS WELL AS EVERYTHING ELSE THAT PARK AND REC DOES.
I AM EASING HIM INTO EAC THINGS.
SO HE HAS A GREAT ENVIRONMENTAL BACKGROUND.
SO IF YOU WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE BIO YOU HAVE TWO SECONDS.
I, WELL I HAVE A DEGREE IN WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT BUT OUTTA COLLEGE I WORKED AT GRAY VALLEY NATURE CENTER AND THAT'S WHERE I KIND OF STARTED WITH MY CAREER AS YOUTH.
[00:15:01]
MEANDERED ALONG THERE FOR A WHILE.AND UH, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH KIDS MOSTLY FOR THE BETTER PART OF 25 YEARS.
AND IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM I'VE INCORPORATED ENVIRONMENTAL ED INTO IT.
WHETHER IT WAS SOME OTHER PROGRAMMING I DID OR SPECIFICALLY PROGRAMS. LIKE I RAN A UH, WE HAD A COUPLE YEARS OF UH, PARTNERSHIP WITH MY OLD JOB WITH NATURAL LANDS WHERE WE HAD KIDS WORKING AT UM,
DOING VARIOUS PROJECTS FOR THEM.
I WORKED WITH STUDENT CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION PART-TIME FOR SEVEN YEARS DOING UM, SIX WEEKENDS A YEAR WITH KIDS FROM PHILLY TO VARIOUS AREAS.
I ALSO DID A FULL SUMMER WITH THEM.
ENVIRONMENT THAT IS A COMPASSION OF MINE.
UM, AND THEN WE GOT LUCKY ENOUGH TO PLAN THIS JOB, WHICH IS KIND OF REALLY CONVENIENT.
I PHOENIXVILLE NICE AND GREAT PEOPLE.
UM, YEAH, IT'S BEEN, IT'S BEEN LIKE I FEEL LIKE I'VE HAD A GIFT HANDED TO ME.
SOUNDS LIKE A NEW LUCK OUT TOO.
WELCOME LIBRARY
THIS HAIR IS TURNING GRAY STARTED.
ALRIGHT, HOW ARE OUR VENDING MACHINES? SO OUR VENDING MACHINES ARE GREAT.
SO THEY'RE NOT IN YET BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANNA PULL THE TRIGGER UNTIL THEY HAD A MAJORITY CONSENSUS AND I WAS TO FIND OUT INFORMATION AND I THINK I DID FIND OUTSIDE INFORMATION.
SO THEY REALLY WANNA PUT THEIR VENDING MACHINES IN.
UM, SO THEY ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH US ON THE CONTRACT.
THEY SAVE THREE YEARS BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THEY KNOW AFTER THEY'VE DONE ALL THEIR TALLYING UH, PURCHASES AND PERCENTAGES AND ALL THOSE BUSINESS THINGS THAT DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT.
BUT ONCE THEY TALLY THAT IT WOULD RECOUP, THEY WOULD RECOUP THAT IN THREE YEARS IS WHAT THEY'RE PROJECTING.
SO THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM IN THAT LONG.
NOW THEY UNDERSTAND THAT BECAUSE OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS AND THE POPULATION THAT USES IT, AS WELL AS THE SEASONAL RENTALS THAT WE HAVE THERE, THEY UNDERSTAND OUR ISSUE OF HAVING IT FOR THAT LONG IF IT DOESN'T WORK.
SO, UM, THEY'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH US.
I TOLD HIM WE WERE HAVING THIS MEETING AGAIN TONIGHT, SO I WAS LIKE, WE'RE LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
UM, BUT I MEAN, I'M HAPPY TO TEST IT OUT.
MAYBE WE WANNA TEST OUT ONE BECAUSE NOW OUR SEASONAL RENTALS ARE COMING TO AN END.
SO WE DON'T HAVE THAT 800 PLUS POPULATION COMING IN ON THE WEEKEND USING IT.
WE ONLY HAVE OUR NORMAL POPULATION THROUGH THE WEEK.
SO IF IT'S SOMETHING WE'D LIKE TO DO, I THINK WE SHOULD START WITH ONE AND PUT IT IN THE DOWNSTAIRS RIGHT NEAR THE STAIRWELL GOING UP TO THE GYM.
SO YOU CAN SEE IT ON EITHER END.
UM, THIS WOULD BE, WE WOULD HAVE TO FIGURE OUT IF WE WANTED TO DO A FOOD OR A DRINK.
THEY DO NOT, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THE COMBO WILL FIT IN OUR SPACE.
I CAN CHECK TO MAKE SURE THERE ISN'T A SKINNIER VERSION OF A COMBO, BUT THE ONES THAT HE SENT ME, THEY ARE QUITE LARGE.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT I GUESS WHEN YOU'RE WALKING INTO THE TABLE? UM, IT'S, IT IS HUGE.
I WOULD SAY OLD SCHOOL VENDING MACHINE AND THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT WIDER THAN THAT.
'CAUSE THIS NOW COMES WITH A WHOLE IPAD AND THINGS ON TOP OF IT.
SO IT TAKES UP SOME OF THE SPACE.
I'M JUST THINKING AT MY STORE WE HAVE FOUR OF THEM IN THIS SPACE.
PROBABLY FROM KELLY'S NAME TO THE END THERE.
KIND OF SMALL, BUT I MEAN THERE'S DRINKS, THERE'S SNACKS.
WELL AND THIS ONE HAS BOTH IT LOOKS LIKE.
SO IF, IF WE WOULD RATHER GO WITH ONE TO START WITH IN A DUO, I CAN TALK TO HIM AND AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS.
THEY ARE WILLING TO GIVE US 10% OF SALES.
WHICH IS A NICE, WE CAN CONSIDER THAT A DONATION.
IT WOULDN'T BE REALLY A PAYMENT 'CAUSE WE DON'T REALLY DO THAT.
BUT IT COULD BE A SOURCE OF DONATION.
YOU GONNA BUY TREES BUY TRUE WHAT? BENCHES.
SO THE CONDO BENCHES RUN WITH THE TREES.
THEY THEY'RE PLACING IT IN THE BUILDING AND THEN THEIR COMPENSATION IS 90% OF DISCUSSED.
AND THEY COME IN, I GUESS THEIR SOFTWARE SYSTEM.
LIKE THEY'LL KNOW WHEN THINGS ARE LOW.
THEY'LL COME IN IF THERE'S ANY ISSUES, HE LIVES RIGHT DOWN THE STREET.
HE'LL COME FIX 'EM OR FILL IT.
I DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT UNLESS THE MACHINE COMPLETELY GOES HAYWIRE.
UM, THE OTHER THING IS THEY NEED TO RUN ON OUR WIFI SO THAT DOES NOT COME WITH IT.
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IF SO IF I CAN HARDWIRE IT AND NOT USE WIFI, THAT'S BETTER FOR ME.
IF I HAVE TO GO WIFI, IT COULD MESS UP SYSTEM BE SPORADIC
[00:20:01]
AND WE, IT COULD HAVE TO JUST BE OUR STAFF POSSIBLY RELOGGING INTO IT MAKING SURE IT'S ON.UNLESS HE WANTS TO COME IN EVERY MORNING AND MAKE SURE OH TALK I'M SURE.
HE LIVES RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD SO.
DO WE NEED A MOTION? I LOOKED IN THAT BUSINESS.
YEAH, IT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD, I MEAN I DON'T HAVE TO PUT ANYTHING FINANCIALLY OUT THERE FOR IT.
WHICH IS WHAT I JUST WANNA DO.
AND IT TELLS ABOUT THE BRAIN KNOWS WHERE TO SOLVE.
DO WE GET TO CHOOSE WHAT GOES INTO, I CAN GIVE SUGGESTIONS.
THEY GO ON MARKET SO WHATEVER THE HIGHEST IS ON THE MARKET IN THEIR OTHER BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THIS IS WHAT THEY GENERALLY WILL PUT IN.
BUT IF IT'S LIKE THEY WANT TO PUT IN ALL COCA-COLA AND THEY WANNA PUT IN ALL, YOU KNOW, SNICKERS BARS, I CAN SAY NO I'D RATHER GO IN THIS ROUTE.
BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN ALL FOOD OR ALL THAT.
HE MADE IT SEEM LIKE THERE'S ONE THAT'S SPLIT.
THAT THERE'S ONE, IT'S LIKE A HALF AND HALF COMBO.
SO IF THAT'S THE ONE HE HAD, I'D RATHER GO THAT ROUTE.
I'D TAKE UP THE WHOLE ART WALL.
IT JUST HAS TO COME MORE OFTEN.
AND IF THE SNACKS KEEP SELLING AND DRINKS DON'T SELL, CAN WE GET A WHOLE SURE.
I BELIEVE THEY CAN CHANGE THAT.
JUST LIKE IF WE REALLY WANTED ONE UPSTAIRS, LIKE I THINK COME THE FALL HAVING ANOTHER ONE UPSTAIRS THAT'S JUST WATER AND LIKE POWERADE.
MM-HMM
SO AS LONG AS THEY DON'T WRECK THEM, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S MY CONCERN.
BUT IF YOU WANNA DO A MOTION, I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT.
I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE GO GUNGHO FOR A VENING MACHINE.
I THINK IT WOULD TOTALLY PLACE.
THEY STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT THOUGH.
JUST TAKE FROM A DOLLAR ORDERS, WHICH YES THEY DO.
I WOULD BE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
WHAT'S THE NAME? TRINITY AXIS.
SO BECAUSE I HAVE BOB HERE TODAY, I WAS GONNA GO OVER A CAMP UPDATE JUST TO GIVE EVERYONE IDEA OF WHERE WE ARE.
'CAUSE THAT'S OUR BIGGEST UM, REGISTRATION RIGHT NOW.
SO, UM, REGISTRATIONS ARE LOOKING REALLY GOOD.
WE ACTUALLY JUST OPENED UP OUR EMERGENCY SERVICES CAMP OR ACADEMY.
I HAVE TO REMEMBER THE ACADEMY PART, THE EMERGENCY SERVICE ACADEMY CAMP, WHICH IS A WEEK LONG CAMP ALL DAY FOR AGES 10 TO 15.
IS THAT THE FIREHOUSE? AND IT'S AT THE FIREHOUSE AND IT'S OUR FIRE, OUR EMS AND OUR POLICE RUNNING IT.
THEY ARE ALL UPT STAFF THAT ARE, ARE RUNNING THE CAMP AND WE ALREADY, WE OPENED IT ON MONDAY AND A COUPLE HOURS INTO IT WE HAD FOUR OR FIVE KIDS.
WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING A LOT OF REALLY COOL HANDS-ON LIKE INTENSIVE LEARNING MOMENTS WITH THEM.
UM, ALL OF OUR SPECIALTY CAMPS ARE UP.
OUR BLACKROCK CAMP IS, IS ROLLING.
NO, WE'RE NOT FULL ON SIX ON ANYTHING.
WE HAVE 58 OUT 70 REGISTERED FOR THE FULL SIX WEEKS AND THEN THE WEEK THEY CAN ALSO JUST REGISTER AT A WEEK AT A TIME.
AND THE FEWEST IS EIGHT, THE MOST IS 14.
ABOUT HALF, FOUR, THIRD, HALF, FOUR THERE.
AND THEN WE HAVE ALL OF OUR SPECIALTY CAMPS.
THE BEST ONE I'D SAY SO FAR IS UH, BRICKS FOR KIDS, WHICH IS LEGOS.
AND THEN UM, WE HAVE A COUPLE IN MAN SCIENCE, A COUPLE IN UH, THE CHESS CAMP.
THE ONLY ONE I DON'T THINK THAT I'VE ASKED IS THEATER CAMP.
FOR SOME REASON WE DON'T HAVE, I KNOW THEATER CAMPS HURTING, BUT I KNOW THE SCHOOL CAMP THEATER THAT IS SURPRISING IS VERY SURPRIS SO MUCH, THESE KIDS ARE SO DRAMATIC.
THAT'S ONLY WHEN THEY'RE AT HOME.
THE PRESCHOOL CAMPS ARE ALL FOUR WITH WAIT LIST.
SO I THINK I SENT HER, WE HAD TO DOUBLE CHECK WAIT LIST SAYING HEY, WE'VE GOT TWO OR THREE.
YOU KNOW, I'M A WAIT LIST AT EACH CAMP.
SO I HAD SEARCH TO FIND MY DAUGHTER
THESE ARE INITIALLY OFFERED TO UPPER PROVIDENCE RESIDENTS.
IF WE DON'T FILL IT WITH RESIDENTS, DOES IT GO TO OUTSIDE COMMUNITY MEMBERS? WE ONLY HAVE RESIDENTS HAVE A WEEK OR SO BEFORE NON-RESIDENTS CAN SIGN UP.
WE GENERALLY DON'T HAVE A FULL POPULATION OF RESIDENTS THAT SIGN UP FOR
[00:25:01]
IT.I THINK LAST YEAR WE ONLY HAD A FEW OUTSIDE NON-RESIDENTS, BUT BECAUSE THE CAMP ALWAYS FILLS UP, WE DON'T, WE ONLY GIVE 'EM ABOUT A WEEK OR SO TO GET SIGNED UP.
A DIFFERENT AND THE PRE-REGISTRATION, THE, THE RESIDENT REGISTRATION FILLED OUT IN 18 MINUTES THEY WERE FULL.
SO WE OPENED IT RATHER THAN WAIT THE WHOLE WEEK.
WE JUST OPENED IT UP THE NEXT DAY TO EVERYBODY.
SO THE OTHER THING WITH OUR SPECIALTY CAMPS, WE GENERALLY USE BLACKROCK FIREHOUSE FOR OUR SUMMER, FOR OUR SUMMER CAMPS.
THE ONE VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY THAT WE STILL PARTNER WITH, THEY ARE NOT UM, THEY'RE NO LONGER HOUSING RENTALS.
SO ALL OF OUR SPECIALTY CAMPS THAT ARE GENERALLY BASED THERE, BECAUSE WE HAVE SPACE, WE HAVE PLAYGROUND SPACE, OUTDOOR SPACE, EVERYTHING.
IT WILL NOW BE IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
SO WE WILL BE SENDING OUT, UM, THIS IS ALL OF OUR SPECIALTY CAMPS.
SO WE WILL BE SENDING OUT AN EMAIL TO ALL THE MEMBERS PROBABLY IN MAY AND THEN AGAIN IN JUNE AS A HEADS UP BEFORE THEY START, WE SENT ONE ALREADY.
AND THEN UM, WE'LL DO SOME FOLLOW UPS JUST TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE AWARE.
BUT WE HAVE 'EM ALL IN THEIR ROOMS AND EVERYTHING SHOULD TURN OUT FINE.
BUT IT WILL BE, IT BE FULL TWO, TWO OF THEM WERE SCHEDULED THERE ALREADY.
SO THE PRESCHOOL AND THE THEATER CAMP WERE ALREADY SCHEDULED THERE.
SO WE HAD TO MOVE BRICKS FOR KIDS CHESS COMMAND SCIENCE.
PEOPLE PREFER NOT BEING AT THE FIREHOUSE BUT IT GAVE US EXTRA SPACE.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'RE RENOVATING.
I DON'T, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING YET.
AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY MAY NOT HAVE THAT SPACE FOR THAT SAME PURPOSE ANYMORE.
OR THEY MAY CHANGING WHAT THAT AND THEY HAVEN'T UPDATED IT IN 20 ODD YEARS.
I WAS AT A WEDDING THERE ONE TIME.
I MEAN THAT WAS THEIR BIG DRAW.
I HAD A FEW EVENTS THERE FOR MY OWN WORK.
DID
[5. Old Business]
I'M GONNA GO ON TO SOME OF OUR FORMER BUSINESS.DO WE HAVE ANYTHING? WELL WE HAVEN'T MET SINCE, WE HAVEN'T YET OUR LAST MEETING.
SO, BUT I NEED TO UM, WHEN I BRING TO THEM OUR TREE MM-HMM.
I THINK I'M GONNA KEEP ALL THE INFORMATION IN CONTACTS SO THEN NEXT YEAR, LIKE I CAN START TALKING TO THEM NOW ABOUT NEXT YEAR.
BUT I DON'T THINK ANYONE WOULD BE PREPARED TO DO IT THIS YEAR IS WHAT I GOT FROM A LOT OF THE ELLERS.
BUT WE DID TALK TO UM, AS AN UPDATE 'CAUSE THAT'S PART OF SPRING FLING, WE DID TALK TO A RAIDER AND THEY'RE HOPEFULLY GONNA DONATE SOIL AND WE'RE GONNA DO PEA POTTS AND GIVE OUT TO ALL THE RESIDENCY PEOPLE WHO COME.
THEY CAN GET A PEAPOT, I KEEP SAYING OUT PEAPOT, PEAT PEA PO PEE, UM, WITH SEEDS IN IT SO THEY CAN DO THE GROWING EXERCISE, THEY CAN TAKE IT HOME AND HOPEFULLY GROW.
AND HOPEFULLY AS WE GROW WITH THIS EVENT AND THE EVENT GOES WELL, WE'VE NEVER DONE IT.
WHAT KIND OF SEED ARE WE? UM, DIFFERENT FLOWER SEEDS, FLOWERS.
UM, BUT HOPEFULLY IF THIS GOES WELL AND PEOPLE REALLY LIKE IT, THEN NEXT YEAR WE CAN MOVE UP TO MAYBE A SAPLING OR SOMETHING, SOMETHING ELSE.
ANYTHING ON THE MURAL? NOTHING.
IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE LIKE NOTHING.
IT'S NOT YOU'RE SITTING ON YOUR HANDS.
I JUST, WHOEVER AT THE NEXT MEETING, I MIGHT HAVE AN UPDATE FOR YOU FOR THAT.
SO DO YOU STILL HAVE THE EMAIL I SENT YOU WITH THE CHANGES? MM-HMM.
UM, I STILL NEED ME TO SEND THAT TO YOU.
YOU HAVE
UM, SUE, DO YOU WANT GO ON WITH THE PARKS AND REC? THERE'S A FEW ITEMS ON THERE STARTING WITH THE TWIG.
SO, UM, THE TWIG IS ACTUALLY VERY SUCCESSFUL.
WE HAVE KIDS AND ADULTS IN THERE ALIKE ALL THE TIME.
UM, WE HAVE PEOPLE BRINGING IN BOOKS CONSTANTLY FOR US TO PUT OUT ON THE SHELVES.
WE DO HAVE A COUPLE STAFF THAT TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN KIND OF CURATING IT AND PUTTING THE BOOKS IN DIFFERENT AREAS WHERE THEY SHOULD BE AND ORGANIZED.
UM, WE DO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING IN TAKING BOOKS OUT AND BRINGING THEM BACK OR BRINGING NEW
[00:30:01]
BOOKS IN THERE REPLACED.UM, WE AT THIS POINT IN TIME WILL NOT BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE LIBRARY ASSISTING WITH THE TWIG.
UM, WHEN WE FIRST APPROACHED IT, UM, I HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH THIS BOARD THAT THEY WANTED US TO HAVE A CHECKOUT SYSTEM.
OUR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DENIED THAT.
UM, AND IT ALSO ENDED UP BEING THAT WE DIDN'T GET A LOT IN OUR BUDGET TO SUPPORT THE LIBRARY COMING IN TO PARTNER WITH US.
UM, SO MUCH SO THAT THEY CHANGED THEIR PRICING STRUCTURE.
SO IT WAS GONNA BE OVER A HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THEM TO VISIT EACH TIME WHERE WE ONLY HAD BUDGETED $160 A MONTH FOR FOUR.
SO IT JUST WASN'T WORKING FINANCIALLY.
AND UM, IT JUST WASN'T THAT MUTUAL BENEFIT OF US PARTNERING WITH A LOW COST ASSOCIATED IT.
SO, UM, WE HAD A ZOOM MEETING ABOUT IT AND I JUST KIND OF PULLED THE TRIGGER ON GOING SOLO FOR NOW.
UM, NOT TO SAY WE CAN'T REGROUP AT ANOTHER TIME, BUT UM, I JUST DIDN'T SEE, SEE THE COST BEING THAT MUCH OF A BENEFIT TO US SEEING AS IT WAS OUR SPACE AND OUR MATERIALS AND THINGS.
SO IT'S BASICALLY GONNA FUNCTION AS LIKE AN HONOR SYSTEM LIBRARY.
THAT SEEMS LIKE IT MAKES WAY MORE SENSE.
I THINK WE'RE TRYING TO SQUEEZE TOO MUCH OUTTA THAT LEMON.
DO I READ BOOKS? THERE'LL BE A TEST.
DO ANY BOOKS? YOU CAN BRING IN ANY BOOKS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE.
IF WE'RE FULL ON THE LIBRARY SHELVES, WE KEEP THEM AND THEN WE READ, WE REORGANIZE THEM.
SO YES, ANYTIME YOU HAVE BOOKS OF ANY KIND OF, JUST MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT LIKE, YOU KNOW, INAPPROPRIATE.
THAT WAS, WE'VE HAD A FEW THAT WE'VE HAD TO TAKE OUT.
YOU COULD DROP THEM RIGHT OFF AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
THAT WAS MY BEACH READ WHEN I WAS WAY LAST WEEK.
I TOOK OH YOU TOOK ONCE FROM THERE.
I THE ONE IT'S, IT'S A COOL, THAT'S AWESOME.
YEAH, IT'S A COOL LITTLE THING.
AND WHEN THE KIDS ARE AT LIKE THE DANCE CLASS FOR INSTANCE, LIKE, 'CAUSE I'M THERE FOR ONE OF MY KIDS EVERY MONDAY NIGHT AND AS I WALK BY THE GAME ROOM'S BEING USED BY SIBLINGS THAT ARE WAITING FOR DANCE TO BE OVER, THE LIBRARY'S BEING USED BY MOM TO DO HOMEWORK WITH ANOTHER KID OR SOMEONE'S IN THEIR READING OR COLORING.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE FROM THE EIGHT TO NOON TIMEFRAME, BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THERE'S CONSTANTLY PEOPLE AT LEAST GOING IN AND BROWSING.
SO THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF IT IS JUST TO HAVE, HAVE AN EXTRA BONUS SPACE WITH LIKE SOMETHING TO DO.
SO HOW SUCCESS MANAGED TO THE COMMUNITY THAT IT'S THERE? NO, WE STARTED OFF 'CAUSE I WANT TO WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE LIBRARY'S CONCLUSION WAS GONNA BE.
BEFORE I MARKETED IT BECAUSE THEIR INFORMATION WOULD BE ON THERE AS WELL.
SO RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO EDIT ALL THE STUFF THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY MADE AND JUST MAKE IT OUR OWN AND THEN IT'LL GO ON TO NEW AND THEN NEWSLETTER.
I THINK PEOPLE WILL REALLY, IT'LL BE IN THE NEWSLETTER AND WE'LL GET IT ON THE E-SIGN, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO WE KIND OF WENT OVER THE EVENTS.
EVERYBODY HAS THEM AT THIS POINT.
UM, SO WE'RE LOOKING ON COMING UP ON THE EGG HUNT AND THEN SPRING PLAYING BEING THE NEXT, UM, THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL, UM, EVENT THAT WILL, THAT IS NOT ON THERE.
THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS GONNA DO AN OPEN HOUSE ON THE 20TH.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE IT FROM 10 TO 12.
UM, IT'S GOING TO BE JUST TO PROVIDING WHAT WE DO AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
GIVE A COUPLE GIVEAWAYS OUT POSSIBLY.
UM, I'M GONNA TRY TO DO A MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL FOR THE DAY FOR NEW PEOPLE TO SIGN UP.
WE'RE ALL GONNA HAVE ALL OF OUR STAFF THAT WORK THERE IN THERE DOING GROUP EXERCISE DEMOS, PROGRAM DEMOS, UM, OUR PICKLEBALL VOLUNTEERS COMING IN TO DO DEMOS AND GETTING PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
A COUPLE OF OUR OUTSIDE PROGRAM PEOPLE ARE GONNA COME IN AND SHOWCASE WHAT THEY DO.
SO, UM, WE'LL HAVE ON THE INSIDE THE BUILDING ALL OF THE AMENITIES THAT WE OFFER AND ALL THE PROGRAMS THAT WE OFFER THERE.
AND THEN, UM, ON THE OUTSIDE WE'LL HAVE UM, A LITTLE CIRCUS FOR THE KIDS.
SO WE HAVE LIKE OUR BOUNCE HOUSES, OUTSIDE YARD GAMES, LITTLE FUN LIKE CIRCUS GAMES, LIKE DUCKS IN THE WATER.
APRIL 20, ALL THOSE SPECIALTY CAMPS.
EVERYBODY THAT WE PARTNER WITH FOR THE MOST PART WAS INVITED TO COME SHOWCASE WHAT THEY DO.
THAT SHOULD BE A FUN AFTERNOON.
AND THEN IN MAY WE HAVE ANOTHER ADDITIONAL EVENT THAT WILL BE UM, MAY 11TH IS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR PARTNERED EVENT WITH TOWN CENTER.
I'M STILL GETTING DETAILS ON THAT.
IT'S THEIR BLOCK PARTY THAT WE STARTED WITH THEM
[00:35:01]
A COUPLE YEARS AGO.UM, SO WE'RE JUST WORKING OUT DETAILS, WHICH IS WHY IT'S NOT OUT YET.
BUT THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT UM, MELISSA AND I WILL BE THERE FOR THAT DAY.
BUT YOU GUYS HAVE THE REST OF THE EVENTS OF COURSE.
LIKE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT, PLEASE JUST REACH OUT TO ME AND LET ME KNOW.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE TIMES FOR THE UM, BLOCK PARTY? WHEN DOES IT START? I BELIEVE IT.
IT'S IN THE MOR IT'S LIKE CLOSER TO THE MORNING.
UM, PLUS IF ANYONE'S REALLY BORED THAT DAY, THE LITTLE KIDS HAVE THEIR DANCE RECITAL AT THE THE AM THEATER.
SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
IT'S, I KNOW
THEY ALL GET REALLY EXCITED 'CAUSE THEY'RE ON STAGE AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S A WHOLE THING.
UM, SO COMMUNITY CENTER UPDATE.
SO FAR THE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN LOOKING REALLY GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
I KNOW WE WERE DOING THAT IN T.
YOU SKIPPED SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT.
AND TODAY OF ALL DAYS I MISSED THE BATHROOM.
REALLY? WE OPENED IT, WE THROUGH ONE HICCUP YESTERDAY.
UM, AND WE WERE ABLE TO OPEN 'EM THIS AFTERNOON.
THERE'S LITTLE OPEN SIGNS OUTSIDE.
UM, IT'S READY TO GO AND IT'S A PERFECT DAY FOR THEM TO GET TEST DRIVEN.
SO HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING'S GOOD.
WE HAVE A VERY NICE WARRANTY ON THEM SO IF ANYTHING DOES HAPPEN, WE ARE COVERED ON IT.
DID THEY OPEN TODAY OR THEY OPENED TODAY.
I WROTE THE WELCOME SIGN AT 2 45.
YES YOU DID YOU GIVE FIVE TO THE FIRST PERSON? I WAS GONNA DO A ROOFING CUTTING.
BUT I DIDN'T HEAR RIBBON CUTTING YET.
IS IT TAKEN CARE OF TOO OR NOT? THE WATER FOUNTAIN'S NOT TAKEN CARE OF
SO IT WAS ABLE TO OPEN OUTSIDE OF THAT BEING TURNED ON SO THE WATER IS NOT HOOKED UP TO THE WATER FOUNTAIN.
WHICH THERE WILL BE A ANOTHER SIGN.
THERE'LL BE ANOTHER SIGN ON THAT SAYS THAT IT'S OUT OF ORDER ALREADY.
SO
WE'LL SAY ONE OF THE KIDS BROKE IT.
OKAY, NOW YOU CAN TALK NOW WE CAN GO BACK.
UM, THAT WAS SUCH A SPECIAL THING TOO 'CAUSE WE JUST GOT DONE, UM, COMMITTEE SEND OUR UPDATE.
LIKE I SAID, IF YOU, WELL IN THE PAST I'VE SHARED MEMBERSHIP NUMBERS AND THINGS WITH YOU.
IF YOU GUYS WANT THAT BACK AGAIN, I CAN START PUTTING THAT OUT THERE FOR YOU GUYS.
UM, IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL TO GET THAT FOR YOU, BUT THE NUMBERS ARE DOING REALLY WELL.
OUR SILVER SNEAKERS AND UM, RENEW ACTIVE NUMBERS ARE BACK TO PRE COVID NUMBERS.
SO IT TOOK US A FEW YEARS TO GET THAT BACK, BUT WE ARE NOW CREATING A NICE REVENUE TRUNK FROM OUR, UM, SENIOR MEMBERS.
SO WE'RE GETTING BACK ON THERE.
UM, WE ARE HAVING A MARKETING CAMPAIGN THAT IS, IS LIGHTLY OUT.
I WOULD SAY IT'S A SOFT OPENING BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S NOT AS ROBUST AS I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE.
WE WERE TRYING TO CREATE SOME NEW FACEBOOK POSTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA STATEMENTS OUT THERE WITHOUT JUST ADVERTISING LIKE, OH WE HAVE THIS OTHER PROGRAM.
LOOK AT THIS PROGRAM, LOOK AT THIS PROGRAM.
IT WAS MORE OF LIKE, HEY, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A GYM.
UM, AND I THINK WE JUST HAVE TO PUSH THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT WE ARE TRYING TO WORK ON THIS NEW SPECIFIC MARKETING CAMPAIGN.
KEEP YOUR EYES OUT IF YOU SEE ANYTHING.
UM, THEY'RE TRYING TO HIT ON ALL THE THINGS THAT WE OFFER THAT MAYBE OTHERS DON'T OR HEY, THEY MIGHT OFFER THIS POOL, BUT HOW MUCH DO YOU REALLY USE THE POOL? LIKE, JUST DIFFERENT WAYS OF THINKING AROUND THE CELL.
SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR OPEN HOUSE.
YOU HAVE SOMEONE HELPING WITH ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIA NOW? WE DO.
UM, I ACTUALLY HAVE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM BECAUSE THIS IS OUR CRAZY SEASON.
LIKE WE'RE, WE'RE APPROACHING CRAZY.
SO THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN
[00:40:01]
A DOZEN THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE ALMOST EVERY OTHER DAY.ADS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA, FOR CALENDARS FOR.
AND THEY ALL HAVE TO BE RESIZED FOR OUR E-SIGN DOWN THE STREET COMPARED TO THIS E-SIGN HERE AND THE BILLBOARDS AT OAKS.
LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS AND A LOT OF THINGS HAVE TO CHANGE IN A MOMENT'S NOTICE BECAUSE SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE CHANGED.
LIKE IF I GOT CANCELED OR IT RAINED OUT, WE HAVE TO CHANGE IT REALLY QUICK.
SO WE MIGHT TAKE BACK THAT OWNERSHIP GETTING INTO OUR BUSY SEASON JUST 'CAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON.
UM, AND IT'S JUST, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE GONNA KEEP UP WITH IT NOT BEING NEXT TO ME EVERY DAY KNOWING WHAT'S GOING ON.
SO IT'S JUST THAT OTHER AVENUE OF COMMUNICATION THAT IT'S IT'S IT'S TOUGH TO RELAY BACK AND FORTH.
SO WE MIGHT TAKE THAT BACK ON WITH, AND I CAME UP WITH LIKE A BRIEF IDEA OF HOW THAT'S GONNA WORK BETWEEN THE TWO OF US.
SO ANY LIKE FACEBOOK POSTS THAT I WANT TO BOOST AND GET OUT THERE TO WORK PEOPLE, LIKE THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF ALL THAT FOR ME.
BUT I THINK THE CREATION AND THE ORIGINAL POSTS WILL MOST LIKELY COME FROM US.
UM, WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA AGENCY? DANDELION DIGITAL.
AND THEY'RE HELPING YOU WITH THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND MARKETING? MM-HMM.
SO NEXT ON THE LIST IS WENDY STREET.
IT WAS PLANTED YESTERDAY RIGHT NEXT TO KATHY'S.
WE BOUGHT A MUCH LARGER TREE THAN WE NORMALLY DO.
HOPEFULLY CREATE SOME SHADE BECAUSE AS SOON AS THAT SUN COMES OUT AND IT'S WARM ON THE PLAYGROUND, WE'RE GOING TO GET COMPLAINTS THAT THERE'S NOT ENOUGH SHADE ON IT.
SO INSTEAD OF PURCHASING SHADES, WE'RE TRYING TO GROW MORE TREES THERE TO PRODUCE A NATURAL SHADE.
I DON'T HAVE ANY SPACE WITHIN THAT FENCE NOR RIGHT OUTSIDE THAT FENCE AND PUT ANY MORE STRUCTURES.
SO I CAN'T PUT IN ANY, SO IF YOU'RE THERE DOING ONE OF YOUR SITE VISITS AND IT WAS LIKE, OH MY GOD, IT'S SO SUNNY.
THEY CAN BRING THEIR OWN UMBRELLA.
THERE'S SUNGLASSES BUT WE CANNOT ADD THERE'S BATHROOMS. NOW YOU CAN GO GET A, YOU KNOW, POOL OFF FOR A SECOND.
OKAY, WELL THERE'S WATER IN THE SINK.
HERE'S SO THAT'S THE ONLY THING.
I CAN'T PUT MORE SHADES IN THAT AREA SO IT WILL ALL BE TREE BASED.
WHAT KIND OF TREE IS IT? IT'S A FLOWERING TREE.
IT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF TREE.
IT'S THE SAME ONE AS IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO KATHY'S.
SO WHERE THE PORTA-POTTIES ARE NOW? UHHUH
RIGHT WHERE THE REAL BATHROOMS ARE? NO, WHERE THE PORT ARE.
SO AT THE EDGE OF THE FENCE AT THAT DRIVEWAY RIGHT HERE.
YOU'LL SEE TWO IDENTICAL BRAND NEW TREES.
SHE'S THE ONE WITHOUT A NAME PLATE.
BUT IT WILL SAY SOMETHING SIMILAR TO KATHY'S DID.
UM, THE NEXT THING ON THE LIST IS THE WALL OF HEELS DC SO THE GANGS HEADING TO DC I THINK I BROUGHT THAT UP LAST TIME.
UM, IT'S IN A COUPLE WEEKS NOW.
THIS IS KIND OF NICE 'CAUSE IT'S A MUCH EASIER THING TO DO THAN THE WALL ITSELF WAS.
SO WE JUST HAVE TO GET ON A BUS AND DO THE CEREMONY AND WE'RE GOOD.
SO THIS IS A WAY LESS STRESSFUL JOB THAN THE ORIGINAL.
UM, BUT WE'RE STILL VERY HONORED BECAUSE THEY, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE INVITED ANYONE THAT HOSTED OUT THERE.
UM, SO EVERYTHING SET FOR THAT YOU CAN LIVE STREAM IT.
SO OUR MARKETING TEAM WILL HAVE ALL THAT STUFF ON THE WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA THAT DAY.
LIKE CHECK OUT WITH OUR PRESS RELEASE, LIKE CHECK OUT OUR TEAM IS DOWN AT DC DOING THIS THING.
TO DO THE CEREMONY TO HOST THE CEREMONY.
ARE YOU SAYING SOMETHING? YEAH, THE FIRST WALL.
I AM NOT TO BECAUSE NORMALLY THEY SAID THEY ASKED TO HAVE B BMWS DOING.
SO WE'RE THE FIRST HEELS BOARD TO DO IT.
WE'RE GONNA RIDE, THERE'S ABOUT 30 SEVEN'S GOING.
THEY'RE GOING GIVE, IT'S GONNA BE BREAKFAST.
EVEN FOR THE MEETING LATE I TALKED TO IS UNFORTUNATELY HAVE CHILDREN.
I KEEP FORGETTING THIS BECAUSE THIS IS, WHEN I WAS WRITING THIS ON MONDAY, I DIDN'T SEE THEM UNTIL TUESDAY.
'CAUSE THERE WAS SOMETHING ON THE TIP OF MY TONGUE AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THAT OTHER WAS MEANT FOR AND I REMEMBERED IT YESTERDAY AFTER I SENT IT.
WE HAD TALKED, UM, IN I BELIEVE JANUARY ABOUT HAVING A BREAK IN THE SUMMER FOR MEETINGS.
SO, UM, THAT IS SOMETHING WE TECHNICALLY DO NOT HAVE TO GET BOARD APPROVAL ON.
[00:45:01]
AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE.WE ARE NOT TECHNICALLY A A, WHAT'S THE WORD? IT'S NOT SUPERVISORY BOARD, IT'S NOT THE TERM.
SO WE CAN, BUT I THINK THE THOUGHT WAS IT WOULD BE, UM, MAYBE TWO MONTHS OUT OF THE SUMMER OR YOU, WE CAN START GOING EVERY OTHER MONTH.
THERE WAS ONLY A NUMBER OF TIMES THAT WE HAVE TO MEET WITH THIS BOARD.
WE KIND OF GO OVER AND BEYOND BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON BECAUSE THE BOARD WAS KIND OF IN ITS INFANCY FOR A WHILE.
HOW MANY, HOW MANY WEEKS DO WE NEED TO MEET THERE? ONCE I HAVE TO RECHECK IT? SHE TOLD ME AND NOW I'M, I'M BLANKING ON IT, BUT IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF WHAT THE BOARD IS.
WE COULD GO EITHER, WE COULD DO EVERY SINGLE MONTH IF WE WANTED TO.
WE COULD CHOOSE TO GO EVERY OTHER MONTH LIKE THE ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE DOES.
OR WE CAN TAKE A BREAK IN THE SUMMER.
SO IF WE WANT TO TAKE A BREAK IN THE SUMMER, I I WOULD ADVISE THAT WE TAKE JULY AND AUGUST.
I WE SHOULD BEEN IN JUNE SINCE WE'RE GONNA WORKING ON THE COVER.
AND IF YOU WANT WE CAN MOVE THE MEETING.
NO, WE'LL HAVE THE 10TH RIGHT BEFORE THAT.
YEAH, WE'LL HAVE A MEETING GO.
SO IF WE WANT TO, YOU GUYS JUST HAVE TO PUT A MOTION IN TO VOTE ON THAT AND THEN I JUST HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND MAKE SURE IT'S KNOWN TO THE COMMUNITY AND THEN WE CAN PUT IT ON THE WEBSITE THAT THOSE ARE I PUT A MOTION IN
YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A SOMEONE SECOND IT.
I THINK THAT'S A MUCH BETTER THING THAN GOING EVERY OTHER MONTH.
IF WE, IF OUR MEETINGS ONLY LAST A HALF AN HOUR, THAT WAS A DIFFERENT THING.
BUT WE HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT.
WELL AND THAT'S THE THING, THAT'S WHY WE'VE ALWAYS STAYED EVERY SINGLE MONTH BECAUSE WHEN, WHEN I FIRST STARTED IT WAS INFANTS INFANCY FOR THIS BOARD.
LIKE IT WAS STARTING FROM SCRATCH.
WE WERE TRYING TO GET, WHEN WE FINALLY GOT THINGS ROLLING.
SO I'D HATE TO DIMINISH IT BUT AT THE SAME EXTENT I TOTALLY GET AND APPRECIATE THAT THE SUMMER IS REALLY NICE TIME OF YEAR AND BUSY TIME OF YEAR FOR PEOPLE.
WE WANNA TAKE THAT BREAK AND HAPPY TO DO WHAT THE BOARD WANTS TO DO.
[6. Other/Comments]
SO WE ARE ON TO OTHER E UH, NUMBER SIX.OTHER COMMENTS? DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING OTHER THAT THEY WANT TO ADD OR COMMENTS? WE UH, OUR PICKLE BALL THEN RIPPED.
DID YOU RIP IT ON PURPOSE? NEW? NO, I THINK NEW.
THANK GOOD BECAUSE IT'S PART OF, BECAUSE IT RIPPED WORK.
UM, I HAVE SOMETHING BUT IF YOU JUST SEND ME WHICH ONES ARE YOU? WERE TRYING TO GET 36 INCHES RIGHT? OR 35? WE 36 AND 38.
IT'S GOT A LITTLE BIT TIGHTER.
ALWAYS TWO INCHES OFF ON EVERYTHING.
I SHARED LIKE THE USA PICKLEBALL THING.
I WAS LIKE I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
UM, SO WE DO NOT HAVE SIGNUPS YET FOR PARK WATCH.
WE NEED TO START SIGNING UP FOR PARK WATCH.
WHAT MONTH DOES THAT START? WE USUALLY BEGIN DISCUSSING IT IN OUR MAY MEETING.
YEAH, SO WE PUT IT OUT THERE IN APRIL FOR MAY FOR PEOPLE TO DO AND DISCUSS IN MAY.
DO YOU SEND A NOTE? MAY, JUNE? USUALLY I PUT IT TOGETHER THE UM, SHEET WHICH BECAUSE THEY WERE OFF JULY, AUGUST.
UM, BUT SHOULD I PUT IT TOGETHER TO DISTRIBUTED BY THE APRIL MEETING? THAT'D BE GOOD.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THEY WANT TO ADD? I DO.
UM, BEHALF OF PUBLIC WORKS, UM, WE ARE WORKING ON ALL THE FIELDS RIGHT NOW.
YOU'LL SEE AS YOU DRIVE AROUND AND YOU GO TO DIFFERENT PARKS, YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF FIELD CLOSED SIGNS FOR MAINTENANCE.
WE GENERALLY DON'T SHUT THINGS DOWN TO THIS DEGREE IN THE WINTER, BUT WITH IT BEING SO WET RIGHT NOW, GENERALLY WE HAVE RENTALS STARTING, UM, NEXT WEEK AND WE HAVE PUSHED THOSE INTO APRIL 6TH START DATE BECAUSE THE FIELDS ARE STOCK READY.
UM, JOSH RIGHT NOW, IF YOU GO TO SOME OF THE FIELDS, EVEN HERE AT BLACKROCK, LIKE HE HAS A LOT OF LIKE DIRT MOVED AROUND TO TRY TO EVEN THINGS OUT.
WE HAD SOME WASH AWAYS THAT WE HAVE TO FIX AND SOME RUTS.
[00:50:01]
ON SOCCER FIELDS OVER AT ANDERSON.PEOPLE ARE USING THEM BUT NOT TEAMS, WHICH IS FINE.
LIKE I CAN'T CLOSE 'EM TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
THERE'S NO WAY FOR ME TO REALLY DO THAT.
THEY'RE JUST GONNA RIP THROUGH THE TAPE ANYWAY.
BUT UM, WE DO HAVE THE SIGNS OUT SO HOPEFULLY THEY'RE NOT USED AS MUCH RIGHT NOW SO WE CAN GET GRASS TO TAKE AND GROW.
SO, UM, IF YOU DRIVE AROUND AND YOU'RE QUESTIONING WHY THINGS LOOK VARY AND NO ONE'S USING THEM IS BECAUSE WE CLOSED.
THAT LEADS ME TO OUR FAVORITE TOPIC OF CONVERSATION, WHICH I WILL NOT KEEP YOU LONG FOR.
UM, THIS WOULD INCLUDE CHANGING THE SIZE OF THE DOG PARK.
I ALREADY HAVE CALLS THIS WEEK.
TAYLOR DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM.
WE HAVE
JUST LIKE WE DO WITH THE FIELDS.
WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP IT CONSISTENT SO WHEN WE DO MARKET THINGS, IT'S NOT THIS FIELD'S OPENING ON THIS DAY AND THEN THIS ONE'S OPENING ON THIS AND THE DOG PARK'S OPENING AT SOME POINT EVERYTHING SHOULD BE SWITCHED OVER IN APRIL.
SO WE'RE CONSIDERING THAT ONE OF OUR PARKS THAT'S UNDER WINTER MAINTENANCE, WHICH WILL MODIFY OUR WORDING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT I DO KNOW I'VE BEEN DOWN TO THE DOG PARK.
I KNOW THE SIDE THAT'S OPEN IS MUDDY.
WELL THE NICE BEAUTIFUL SIDE WILL BE OPEN ONCE WE HIT A LITTLE BIT OF A DRY SPELL THAT IT DOESN'T TURN TO MUD AS SOON AS PAW HIT IT.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO JUST SAVE ONE SIDE FROM GOING DOWN.
YOU I'M LEARNING TO NOT TALK AS MUCH.
WELL THE OTHER COMMENT IS TAYLOR'S REALLY THROWING ME BECAUSE HE ALWAYS HAS A LITTLE COMPUTER AND HE'S LIKE WRITING, WRITING, YOU WISH A COMPUTERS COOL? I WAS JUST LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE, HE'S WRITING WITH A FOUNTAIN PEN.
WHAT CAN I SAY? THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO WRITE.
WHERE'S YOUR I FORGOT IT WORK.
AND THEN I WAS LIKE DROPPING IT.
I WAS LIKE, SHOULD I GO GET IT? NO, YOU WERE HERE REALLY OLD SCHOOL TODAY.
I WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN AND THEN HAVE TO THEN TYPE IT IN.
I KNOW, RIGHT? YOU ALREADY QUICKLY DID.
I DON'T THINK YOU NEED A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
