[00:00:01]
WE'LL START OUR, OUR, UM,[1. Call to Order and Committee Attendance]
MEETING.WE RESCHEDULED TO, UM, ACCOMMODATE SOME SCHEDULING CONFLICTS.
THANK YOU FOR CHANGING YOUR SCHEDULES AROUND WHOEVER WAS ABLE TO, AND WE'LL TRY TO MAKE IT BRIEF AND JUST KIND OF HIT THE AGENDA.
UM, AT THIS POINT WE DON'T HAVE A QUORUM, SO WE CAN'T, UH, DO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAY MINUTES, BUT, UM, I READ THROUGH THEM.
THERE WAS, THERE WAS NOTHING, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY SAW ANYTHING, BUT WE, WE WILL HAVE TO APPROVE THEM WHEN WE MEET AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER.
UM, SO WE'LL JUST MAKE NOTE THAT THEY'RE NOT APPROVED.
ARE YOU IN A POSITION TO TAKE NOTES? MM-HMM,
SO TAYLOR, UM, OUR SECRETARY IS, ISN'T HERE.
SO SANDY HAS GRACIOUSLY BEEN VOLUNTOLD, BEEN VOLUNTOLD.
SO JUST A REMINDER, WE WILL LOOK AT THE, UH, MAY MINUTES IN SEPTEMBER.
THERE'S NOBODY HERE FROM THE PUBLIC.
[4. New Business]
SO WE POP RIGHT INTO NEW BUSINESS.SO WE HAVE OUR, UM, PARK BOARD STUFF.
UM, I'M NOT SURE WHO WAS ABLE TO, UM, GO TO THE PARK.
DO YOU WANNA GO FIRST? UM, I SHOULD CLOSE UP HERE.
UM, THE, THE USE AT THAT TIME THAT I WENT WAS LOW.
IT WAS A TUESDAY AFTERNOON, LIKE 1130.
SO THERE WEREN'T A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE.
UM, THE, EVERYTHING LOOKED GREAT.
IT WAS JUST THE GRASS LOOKED GOOD.
THEY'RE EITHER FINISHED PAINTING THE RESTROOMS OR THERE WERE THE PROCESS OF PAINTING THE RESTROOMS. THE, THE TAPE WAS UP, UH, THE YELLOW TAPE FOR I THINK JUST THE MEN'S ROOM AT WILL PARK.
BUT, UM, I DIDN'T GET TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE.
THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE ON THE BASEBALL FIELD, WHICH THAT'S NOT MCFARLAND RIGHT.
ISN'T THAT THE LITTLE LEAGUE PARK? SO WHEN YOU WALK, WHEN YOU PULLED DOWN THAT DRIVEWAY.
EVERYTHING FROM THE PAVED PARK TO THE RIGHT TO THE RIGHT IS OUR, IS OURS AND EVERYTHING ON THE LEFT THAT IS NOT PAVED.
SO THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE WERE, WERE, UH, LITTLE LEAGUE.
SO I DIDN'T SPEAK WITH ANYBODY, BUT OVERALL THE PARK FACILITY LOOKED GOOD.
THE PARKING LOOKED GOOD, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY NOTES FOR IMPROVEMENT.
SO I WENT TO BLOCK LEFT, TRY AGAIN, BLACK ROCK YESTERDAY AND, AND TODAY.
AND I ACTUALLY WALKED ALL OF THE BACK.
I'VE NEVER BEEN BACK THERE BEFORE.
ALL THE WAY DOWN THE TRAIL THROUGH LIKE THE OKAY.
IT WAS VERY THERE, THE TRAIL AROUND THAT WAY.
THERE'S A, A MEMORIAL TREE BACK THERE AND A BENCH AND IT WAS, IT WAS NICE.
THERE'S A LOT OF WILDLIFE BACK THERE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT MANY RABBITS.
YOU KNOW, I'M SEEING SO MANY BUTS TOO.
THERE'S JUST EVERYWHERE IN MY COMPLEX.
BUT, UM, THERE WAS NO TRASH OR ANYTHING BACK THERE.
THE GRASS, THE GRAY, THE TREES WERE GREAT.
THEY COULD ACTUALLY PROBABLY TRIM WHEN YOU FIRST GO DOWN AROUND THE SIDE.
SOME OF THE TREES ARE KIND OF DOWN.
AND, AND I'M SHORT
THERE WAS, THERE WAS ONLY A COUPLE THAT WERE LIKE THAT, BUT, UM, I JUST THOUGHT I'D MENTIONED THAT.
UM, I, THERE WERE, THERE WAS PRACTICE ON ALL THREE FIELDS.
UM, BOYS AND GIRLS, THERE WERE LITERALLY TWO PEOPLE IN THE SKATE PARK, WHICH I WAS SHOCKED YESTERDAY.
YESTERDAY ON SUCH A NICE DAY AT FIVE 30, THERE WAS TWO PEOPLE IN.
THAT'S USUALLY A, A NICE TIME.
'CAUSE IT'S GETTING A LITTLE COOLER.
AND THEN THERE WAS, UM, UH, A GENTLEMAN I TALKED TO, HIS NAME WAS LOGAN.
AND, UM, I SAID, YOU KNOW, I ASKED HIM WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT THE PARK AND, AND ALL.
AND HE SAID THAT HE LOVED COMING TO THIS PARK BECAUSE HE LIKES THE FACT THAT WE HAVE ALL OF THE APPARATUS.
AND, UM, HE'S NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. THEN HE, HIS ONLY SUGGESTION IS THAT WE PUT LIGHTS THERE AND THEN AS SOON AS HE SAID IT, HE RAN DOWN A LIST OF WHY WE SHOULDN'T DO IT.
[00:05:01]
IT.UM, AND THEN THE PLAYGROUND WAS, IT WASN'T FULL, BUT IT WAS, THERE WAS QUITE A FEW PEOPLE THERE.
THERE WAS A LADY SITTING AND I TALKED TO HER FOR A BIT.
UM, SHE ACTUALLY SAW A PICTURE OF OUR PARK ONLINE.
SHE LIVES IN POTSGROVE AND BROUGHT HER GIRLS DOWN.
SHE WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH JUST THE PICTURE AND THE DESCRIPTION.
AND SO SHE CAME DOWN AND HER GIRLS WERE HAVING A BLAST.
AND SHE'S, UM, SHE SAID SHE'LL BE, BE BACK.
I TOLD HER ABOUT COMMUNITY DAY.
I TOLD HER ABOUT GYM AT BLACKROCK.
HOPEFULLY IT'LL COME BACK NEXT YEAR.
AND SHE'S LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL OF THIS.
SHE IS GOING TO BE KEEPING AN EYE ON OUR WEBSITE AND FACEBOOK TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANYTHING GOING ON.
DON'T I LOVE WHEN YOU GET TO DO THAT.
'CAUSE THEN IT'S KIND OF, IT'S NOT JUST LIKE GOING TO THE PARK LIKE WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE THE, THE FACE OF THE YES.
IT'S SO MUCH MORE PERSONALIZED.
AND SHE WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE PARK.
THE BATHROOM ON THE FAR SIDE, ONE OF THEM SAYS VACANT, BUT IT'S LOCKED.
SO THEY HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE, ALL NEW HARDWARE FOR LIKE, THE HINGES AND DOORS AND LIKE, EVERYTHING.
SO JUST GOES, THE LOCK IS BROKEN.
IT'S THE WHOLE MAGNETIC SYSTEM THAT KEEPS IT LOCKED.
LIKE THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS FAULTY.
SO THEY HAVE TO CHANGE OUT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM OF THAT PARTICULAR STALL.
EVERY WEEK WE HAD TO SHUT DOWN TWO OF THEM.
UM, FRIDAY LAST WEEK THEY CAME OUT 'CAUSE THE FLOORS WERE RE CRACKED.
SO IT'S LIKE A CONSISTENT BASIS OVER THERE.
EVERY OTHER WEEK I GET ANOTHER NOTIFICATION OF SOMETHING.
SO WE'RE WAITING ON THAT HARDWARE.
THIS TELLS YOU HOW MUCH I REALLY DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE WHEN I WALKED UP, I, I LOOKED IN THE FIRST TWO BATHROOMS. MM-HMM.
AND THEN I WALKED AWAY THINKING THAT WAS IT NOT REALIZING THAT THERE WERE ONES ON THE OTHER SIDE.
SO IS IT MEN'S WOMEN'S? IT'S THIS UNISEX SAUCE.
THERE'S FOUR UNIS, WHICH IS HOW ALL THE BATHROOMS ARE NOW.
SO UNISEX AT THE SAME TIME OR IT'S ONE PERSON STALL? IT'S ONE PERSON, YES.
AND IT, ON THE, THE SIGN IT SHOWS A DEPICTION OF A, OF, I GUESS IT'S EXISTING FEMALE YES.
ON EACH I PICKED UP A LITTLE BIT OF TRASH.
UM, IT, THERE WAS LIKE, IT PROBABLY WAS A BAG THAT JUST BLEW MM-HMM.
I PICKED THAT UP AND USED THAT TO PICK UP A TISSUE.
AND I'M GLAD YOU CAME YESTERDAY.
MONDAYS ARE USUALLY NOT GREAT DAYS.
OH REALLY? BUT YOU KNOW, I, WELL, I DON'T WANNA INTERJECT IT UNLESS YOU'RE DONE.
I I WENT TO THE DOG PARK ON MONDAY.
DOES THAT FIGURE OFF, I DON'T KNOW WHAT DAYS THEY DO IT, BUT LET ME JUST, LET ME JUST SEE.
AND I WENT, OR YOU DO THAT? LET, LET ME FINISH.
UM, UH, PARKING LOT ON THE UP BY THE TENANT.
NO, THE PARKING LOT RIGHT HERE.
THERE IS LOOKS LIKE PAPER TOWELS AND TISSUES BLOWN UP IN THERE.
AND THE, THE TREES, IT WAS LIKE ON THE GROUND, BUT IT LOOKED LIKE IT HAD BEEN RIPPED.
LIKE IT WAS LIKE THREE OR FOUR, MAYBE FIVE PIECES OR WHATNOT.
AND I DIDN'T HAVE A PLASTIC BAG ANYMORE OR GLOVES.
SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA SAY SORRY.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO JUST INTEGRATE.
UM, I JUST HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION.
I MUST NOT REALLY KNOW WHERE THE MEMORIAL TREES ARE AT BECAUSE I WALKED THIS ENTIRE CAMPUS.
BUT I DIDN'T SEE LIKE, KATHY'S OR I WILL GET A PICTURE FOR YOU.
TAB AND KATHY'S AT THE DOG PARK, RIGHT? NO.
SEE, HAVE THING ALL THEY'RE BOTH HERE.
THERE IS A, THERE IS A MEMORIAL TREE AT THE DOG.
THERE'S ONE THERE, BUT THAT'S NOT, THERE IS ONE.
BUT NEITHER ONE OF 'EM ARE BOARD MEMBERS.
I THOUGHT ONE SAID WENDY, ONE OF 'EM SAID, I LOOKED AT THE, NOT FROM US, BUT MAYBE THE PERSON WHO WAS WHO DID IT.
BUT I, I WALKED, LIKE I SAID, I WALKED THE ENTIRE CAMPUS AND I WAS LIKE, OKAY, I REALLY MUST NOT KNOW WHERE THEY ARE BECAUSE I, WHERE I THOUGHT THEY WERE, THEY WEREN'T.
I WENT AND LOOKED AT THEM OR THEY WERE, I DIDN'T SEE THE PLACARD ON IT.
NOW I WOULD BE CURIOUS 'CAUSE I THOUGHT THERE WAS A WENDY TREE THERE AT THE DOG PARK.
'CAUSE I YOU MENTIONED IT IN YOUR, I TOOK A PICTURE OF IT.
'CAUSE I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE, I HAVE A PICTURE OF
[00:10:01]
THE TREE, BUT I DO LOVE THE BENCH AND THE TREE THAT'S BACK THERE.IT'S NICE JUST THE BACK THERE.
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN BACK THERE, SHOULD THERE? YEAH.
AND YOU TAKE, I PROBABLY WILL BE VERY SOON THOUGH.
IF YOU GO DOWN THAT GRASS HILL BEFORE YOU FOLLOW IT, I'M SAW THAT THERE IS A PATH, LIKE A NON PAVED WALKING PATH WHERE THE OLD LIKE, UM, WATERMILL WAS IN LIKE DIFFERENT AREAS THAT HAVE NOW DISINTEGRATED INTO THE GROUND.
BUT WHEN I FIRST STARTED, THERE WAS STRUCTURES BACK THERE.
SO THERE IS KIND OF LIKE A LITTLE LIKE DEER PATH, LIKE NON TRAIL TRAIL THAT HAS FORMED BACK THERE.
FROM THE ORIGINAL BECAUSE I, ONE TIME I WAS LIKE, OH, WHAT? I WONDER WHY THEY DID THAT.
SEEMS LIKE SHE'S READING MY MIND.
SHE HEARD THAT QUESTION THAT I HAD.
WE, UM, I, I WENT TO THE DOG PARK AND I WENT MONDAY AND IT WAS LIKE AROUND 1230.
BUT THERE, I MEAN IT WASN'T LIKE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO ON A WEEKEND THERE'S WAS PACKED.
BUT THERE WERE LIKE FOUR DOGS.
AND UM, I, AND LIKE, YOU KNOW, THEN YOU, THERE WAS LIKE WALKERS AND THERE'S ALWAYS BIKERS GOING, GOING BY SO, AND KAYAKERS AND STUFF.
SO IT STILL SEEMED LIKE IT HAD LIKE A, YOU KNOW, NICE ACTIVITY LEVEL.
I MEAN THE GROUNDS LOOKED GOOD AGAIN, PICKED UP A COUPLE THINGS, BUT LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL.
LIKE HONESTLY EV IT LOOKED WONDERFUL.
UM, I NOTICED THAT THE, THE FADED SIGNS THEY MOVED THAT YOUR SUGGESTIONS ARE, I WROTE ON THE SPREADSHEET THAT ALL YOUR SUGGESTIONS WERE TAKEN AND THE SIGN, THE BULLETIN BOARD THING WAS REMOVED AT YOU.
JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU WROTE THAT DOWN.
AND I PUT IT IN A SPREADSHEET THAT RECOMMENDATIONS HAD BEEN ACTED ON.
UM, JUST TALK TO LIKE ONE, ONE GUY OR TWO WOMEN AND THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS ONLY THEIR SECOND TIME AT THE PARK.
UM, AND THEIR RESIDENTS AND THEY LIKE IT AND THEY'LL PROBABLY COME AGAIN.
AND THAT THEY HAVE LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW LIKE THEY HAVE GROUPS THAT NEED UP MM-HMM.
THAT MEET UP DEPENDING ON, THEY HAD A CORGI GROUP
I WAS LIKE, OH THAT'S INTERESTING.
AND THEN I TALKED TO SOME GUY AND HE JUST SAID THAT HE, YOU KNOW, HE WASN'T THERE NORMALLY ON THE, DURING THE WEEK, BUT HE COMES ON THE WEEKEND FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF LIKE THAT THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE.
SO WE CAN SOCIALIZE HIS DOG WITH OTHER DOGS AND HE LIKES TO SOCIALIZATION AS WELL.
SO IT WAS JUST A VERY GOOD SO NO ACTION ITEMS. IT WAS JUST A, A REALLY FUN GOOD VISIT.
AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU GO TO THE DOG PARK.
SO I ALWAYS GET EXCITED WHEN WE TALK ABOUT IT.
UM, SO OUR GOAL WITH THE KIOSK THAT WAS DOWN THERE AND THAT'S THE SIGN THAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO? YEAH.
UM, OUR GOAL WAS TO REUSE IT OVER HERE AT THE BIG PLAYGROUND TO PUT A NEW CLOSED IN KIOSK ON IT.
LIKE A LOCKING KEY ONE WITH A NEW COURT BOARD OKAY.
TO PUT UP ADVERTISEMENTS AND TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THAT AREA IS NOT FOR RENT OR FOR BIG PARTY USE.
UM, HOWEVER, WHOEVER BUILT THIS KIOSK DOWN THERE BUILT IT.
THEY'RE LIKE FOUR BY FOURS AND THEY WERE AT LEAST EIGHT PLUS FEET TALL ON EITHER SIDE.
THE STRUCTURE ALONE HAD TO BE SO HEAVY TO HOLD THE ROOF 'CAUSE THE ROOF WAS SO HEAVY AND IT WAS D IT WAS DUG WITH CEMENT AT LEAST FOUR FEET INTO THE GROUND.
SO I WAS DOWN THERE AS THEY WERE TRYING TO GET IT OUT AND THEY HAD THE BULLDOZER EVERYTHING AND THEY WERE TRYING TO WIGGLE IT AND THE THING JUST STOOD THERE.
LIKE THAT THING WASN'T GONNA GO ANYWHERE.
SO UNFORTUNATELY WE HAD TO CUT IT AT GROUND LEVEL AND THEN THEY RETOP SOILED IT AND DID EVERYTHING TO FIX IT UP, MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY.
BUT I JUST HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD ON HOW TO REUSE IT.
BUT I HAD TO CUT THE LEGS OFF.
SO TO REPLACE FOUR BY FOURS AND THEN PUT PLASTIC SLIPS OVER THEM IS REALLY EXPENSIVE.
IT'S ALMOST WORTH JUST LOOKING INTO GETTING A NEW KIOSK.
SO WE HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL TIN ROOF THAT MATCHES EVERYTHING ELSE AND WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO WITH IT WITH THAT AT THIS POINT BECAUSE YOU NEED SOMETHING HEFTY TO HOLD IT IN PLACE.
SO WE'LL SEE WHERE WE GET TO IT.
BUT UM, AFTER CAR SHOW AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF SUMMER CAMP LET THEM SETTLE, I WILL START LOOKING INTO HOW OPTIONS, BECAUSE I NEED TO PUT SOMETHING OUT THERE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ABUSING IT AND EVERY MONDAY IS MORE THAN A MESS.
IT'S MORE FIASCO TO THE POINT WHERE I'M DEBATING PEOPLE ARE ABUSING WHAT THE, THE PARK ITSELF.
SO THIS WHOLE ENTIRE NOW IS THERE GOOD ON A MONDAY? WELL, SO PUBLIC WORKS GET HERE, GETS HERE AT 6:00 AM IT'S NOT JOSH'S CREW.
WE DO HAVE A CREW THAT COMES IN AND LIKE CHECKS EVERYTHING AT SIX AND IT'S USUALLY CLEANED UP BEFORE ANYONE
[00:15:01]
ELSE EVEN STEPS FOOT ON CAMPUS.SO I DO HAVE, UM, WE CONSIDER THEM PER DIEM STAFF THAT COME IN HERE AND THERE ON WEEKENDS TO CHECK PAVILIONS TO CHECK FIELDS, MAKE SURE THE TRASH ISN'T CRAZY, JUST TO MAKE SURE IF SOMEONE ELSE IS RENTING, IF WE HAVE BACK TO BACK RENTALS, THAT THEY LOOK GOOD.
UM, 'CAUSE PEOPLE DO PAY A HUNDRED DOLLARS DEPOSIT TO USE OUR, UM, PAVILIONS.
AND WE GET COMPLAINTS ALL THE TIME THAT THEY'RE NOT CLEANED UP.
SO, UM, WE HAVE BEEN COMING IN ON MONDAYS EVEN AFTER WE'VE HAD PER DIEM STAFF COMMITTED TO DO THE TRASH AND IT LOOKS LIKE NO ONE WAS HERE CLEANING UP ALL WEEKEND.
LIKE IT IS, THERE'S TAPE EVERYWHERE.
THERE'S TRASH OVERFLOWING OF EVERY CAN.
THERE'S TRASH NEXT TO THE CANS.
THE DUMPSTERS ARE OVERFLOWING.
LIKE IT IS SOMETIMES A HORRIFIC SITE WHEN YOU COME IN THE MORNING, YOU'RE LIKE, WHAT HAPPENED? WHO DID? LIKE, WHO DID? ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE USED TO SEEING HOW PRISTINE EVERYTHING TYPICALLY LOOKS.
SO, AND THEN IT IS KIND OF SCARRING ON OUR END 'CAUSE IT'S LIKE YOU HAVE THESE RENTERS THAT WILL FILL OUT THESE FORMS AND GIVE 'EM BACK TO ME.
LIKE, LISTEN, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE WHEN WE GOT HERE AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE WHEN WE LEFT.
SO LIKE, IF ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENED, IT WASN'T US.
IS IT TRASHING TRASH OUT? LIKE WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE THAT RENT'S SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THEIR TRASH? SO THEY TAKE, THEY USE OUR TRASH CANS AND WE GIVE THEM NEW LINERS TO PUT IN WHEN THEY FILL THEIRS.
'CAUSE OUR TRASH CANS AREN'T THE SAME SIZE AS GENERIC TRASH CANS.
LIKE WE HAVE SPECIAL SIZED BAGS.
SO WE LEAVE EXTRAS ON WEEKENDS SO THAT THEY, IF THEY USE THEM, ALL WE ASK IS IF THE DUMPSTER'S FULL, TAKE IT WITH YOU.
IF OUR DUMPSTER'S EMPTY, YOU CAN THROW IT IN THERE.
UM, WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING IS PEOPLE COME IN AFTER THE RENTALS OR BEFORE THE RENTALS AND THEY UTILIZE IT FOR A PARTY.
THEY DON'T PAY, DON'T PERMIT IT.
THEY DIDN'T RENT IT AND THEY DON'T CARE.
SO OUR GOAL IS IF WE PUT IN LIKE THIS BUILDING SPECIFICALLY, THIS ONE'S UNDER SURVEILLANCE.
I JUST DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE SOMEBODY WHO'S GOING AROUND CHECKING.
AND I'M KIND OF AT THE POINT NOW WHERE IT'S SUCH A HEADACHE AND IT'S SUCH A ISSUE THAT EITHER WE'RE GOING TO BUILD UPON THE PRICES THAT WE ALREADY HAVE, BUT THEN I'M GONNA SCARE PEOPLE AWAY FROM RENTING IT.
THEY'RE JUST GONNA USE IT FOR FREE.
OR GET SOME KIND OF WEEKEND STAFF THAT ARE GOING TO EVERY PARK AND CHECKING IT AND CHECKING ON PERMITS AND GOING THROUGH THAT.
THAT'S WHAT THE COUNTY DOES WITH THEIR RANGERS.
AND THEN THEY CAN ENFORCE THE PERMITS.
I HAVE A COUPLE 14 YEAR OLDS THAT GO CHECK TRASH.
THEY'RE NOT GONNA CHECK THE PERMIT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YEAH.
AND THEY DO AND THEY DO ASK AND THEY MAKE SURE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT'S JUST, WE'RE NOT HERE ALL DAY.
LIKE WE HAVE A COUPLE HOURS THAT WE HAVE BEEN, BUT WE FOUND OUT FROM A COUPLE RENTERS OVER THE PAST COUPLE WEEKENDS THAT PEOPLE HAVE COME IN AS THEY'RE LEAVING LIKE, OH GOOD, YOU'RE ALL DONE.
AND SHE SAID, WELL ACTUALLY I'M RENTING DOUBLE TODAY.
LIKE, I BOOKED THE WHOLE THING 'CAUSE I WAS GOING OVER, SO TECHNICALLY I'M NOT DONE UNTIL LIKE SUNSET.
AND THEY'RE LIKE, OH WE REALLY WANNA USE THE PAVILION.
AND SHE WAS LIKE, YOU DIDN'T RENT IT LIKE I RENTED IT.
I, AND NOT THEY JUST FOUND ANOTHER TABLE AND HAD A HUGE PARTY.
DO YOU KNOW LIKE ARE THERE POSTED SIGNS THAT IT HAS TO BE RENTED? YES.
I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO PUT THAT SIGN YET.
SO THE GROVE, WHICH WE CALL GROVE IS RIGHT OVER HERE BETWEEN US AND PUBLIC WORKS.
LIKE A LITTLE SECRET PAVILION.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE DOUBLE SIDED PAVILION, WHICH ALL STATES LIKE ALL THE RULES AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO IT'S JUST PEOPLE THAT, I MEAN WHEN, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, WASN'T THERE, THERE WAS A RULE WRITTEN SOMEWHERE THAT I JUST REMEMBER THAT LIKE IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE FIVE PEOPLE RIGHT IN MM-HMM.
IF IT'S PARTY OVER FIVE, YOU HAVE TO RENT IT SO MM-HMM.
BUT IF YOU'RE LIKE THREE PEOPLE AND JUST HAVING A LUNCH AND THEN PEOPLE COME WHO RENT IT, LIKE YOU NEED TO LEAVE.
BUT SO YOU CAN AND LIKE FIVE PEOPLE LIKE THAT, I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S YEAH.
BUT WHEN YOU COME IN WITH BALLOONS AND POT TRAYS AND ALL THIS STUFF, LIKE YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY USING IT FOR OTHER PURPOSES YEAH.
BUT WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE MANAGE THAT.
LIKE HOW DO YOU WORK ON IT? LIKE I DON'T HAVE THE BUDGET TO BRING IN STAFF FOR A WHOLE WEEKEND AND I CAN'T TECHNICALLY AFFORD TO HAVE TOWNSHIP STAFF GO THERE 'CAUSE IT WOULD BE NOT COST EFFECTIVE.
OUR GOAL IS RIGHT NOW IS TO EVEN TRASH CANS.
THE TRASH CANS THAT WE HAVE ON THE PROPERTY NOW ARE ABOUT $1,200 A PIECE.
SO IT'S DO WE JUST BUY AN ABUNDANCE OF TRASH CANS AND HAVE 'EM EVERYWHERE? WHAT WE'VE DONE, AT LEAST AT THIS POINT IS, UM, WE ADDED, WE CHANGED THE MINI DUMPSTER THAT WE HAVE OUT HERE.
IT WAS OVERFLOWING YESTERDAY WHEN I YEAH.
I MEAN WHEN I WALKED, OUR PARKS ARE USED HARD, ESPECIALLY THIS ONE.
[00:20:01]
EVEN HAVE LIKE TWO OF THE GINORMOUS ONES.LIKE THEY'RE PROBABLY LONGER THAN THIS TABLE.
UM, IN THE BACK OF PUBLIC WORKS THAT THE TOWNSHIP USES.
BUT THE ONES HERE AND THE ONE AT ANDERSON, LIKE PEOPLE LEGALLY DON'T ALL THE TIME.
SO, OH, WE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH GETTING THOSE EMPTIED.
REMEMBER THAT WAS AN ISSUE FOR A WHILE.
NO, THEY'RE GOOD ABOUT IT NOW.
THERE WAS THIS CONVERSATION THAT THEY HAD, THE COMPANY THAT IS THERE NOW BOUGHT OUT THE OLD COMPANY AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE SCHEDULE DOWN AND ALL THAT.
BUT THAT WAS MY ADDITION TO THE KIOSK LONGER.
WHAT IF THAT GOES INTO THE MINUTES? HMM.
LIKE ONE OF WHAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT? YEAH.
I I WOULD JUST SAY THAT THAT, UM, SUE'S LOOKING FOR A WAY TO, TO UTILIZE THE KIOSK THAT HAS BEEN REMOVED.
AND, AND, UM, THERE'S BEEN TO HELP PROHIBIT YEAH.
TO HELP PROHIBIT THERE'S BEEN ISSUES WITH THE LEGAL RENTING OF FACILITIES AND THAT'S BEING ADDRESSED AS, AS WELL.
AND THIS MAY BE ABLE TO BE USED TO JUST TALK LIKE THAT INSTEAD OF GIVING THE STORY
I THINK JUST 'CAUSE ANY, THAT'LL JUST REMIND US OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
IT WAS A LADY, UM, WHO HAD SCHEDULED A BIRTHDAY PARTY PLAYGROUND.
AND SHE HAD ALL THIS STUFF THAT SHE WAS COMING WITH, UM, FOR LIKE 13, 15 KIDS AND WE TOLD HER NO YEAH.
BUT WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST DOING BIRTHDAY PARTIES AT THE PLAYGROUND INSTEAD OF WELL, AND THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHAT I'M HOPING WITH AT LEAST SOME KIND OF SIGNAGE OVER THERE THEY CAN STOP.
BECAUSE WE'LL COME IN EVERY MONDAY AND THE TABLES ARE ALL PUSHED TOGETHER.
YOU CAN TELL THERE'S A PARTY, THERE'S TAPING OFF OF'EM.
WE FIGHT BIRTHDAY HATS AND ALL THEIR TRASH AND ALL THE TRASH CANS.
LIKE WE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
BUT BECAUSE I MEAN, IT'S A PUBLIC PLAYGROUND.
AND IT, IT IS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE LIKE THOSE FOUR PICNIC BENCHES ARE OVER THERE.
SO WHEN LIKE MOM AND DAD ARE TAKING THEIR KIDS TO THE PLAYGROUND, LIKE THEY CAN HAVE A QUICK SANDWICH AND THEN HEAD HOME AND THEY CAN GO BACK ON THE PLAYGROUND.
OR THEY'RE JUST CATCHING THEIR BREATH.
IT'S LIKE, IT'S NOT LIKE THE BUILT PAVILIONS ARE MEANT FOR RENTING TO HAVE THOSE PARTIES.
DO I NECESSARILY MIND IF A BUNCH OF PEOPLE CAME TO GET OUTTA THE SUN AND THEY ENDED UP SITTING UNDER THERE FOR A COUPLE HOURS? NO, BUT YOU RESPECT IT.
SO WHAT WE ARE REALIZING AFTER COVID THE ABILITY TO RESPECT OUR PARKS, IT'S KIND OF VANISHED.
IT WAS JUST KIND OF LIKE, IT'S A FREE FOR ALL.
HERE WE ARE AND WE'RE GOING TO DO WHAT WE WANT AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA SAY ANYTHING AND IT'S GONNA BE WHAT IT IS.
AND BECAUSE OF A STAFF OF THREE LIKE, IT, IT DOESN'T REALLY LEND ME TO HAVE THE ABILITIES TO DO EVERYTHING.
BUT AND DO YOU THINK THAT, I MEAN PEOPLE ARE JUST, IF THEY COMPLIED WHAT'S TOLD THEY WOULD TELL THE STORY, BUT LIKE SOME PEOPLE MAY JUST THINK, OH COOL, THIS IS A GREAT PARK, BUT WE SHOULD HAVE A PARTY HERE.
AND THAT'S WHAT, AND THEY DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT.
BUT I MEAN THE OWNERS SHOULD BE ON THAT TO LOOK IT UP.
BUT, AND WE, AND HAVE A QR CODE, LIKE IT'S VERY EASY TO LOOK AT THAT AND GET THE INFORMATION AND BOB DOES TURN PEOPLE AWAY.
HE WILL SAY, WE HAVE AN EVENT THAT WEEKEND YOU CANNOT RENT.
UM, YOU KNOW, AND OR UM, FOR WHATEVER REASON, YOU KNOW, ONE SIDE OF THE PAVILION, WE KNOW IT, IT MIGHT BE AN OVERCROWDING ISSUE, IT MIGHT BE A BUSY WEEKEND WITH THE FIELDS AND WE'RE LIKE, WE TRY NOT TO RENT THE PAVILION EIGHT CASE, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE SOFTBALL KIDS OUT IN THE 90 DEGREES TO REPRIEVE FOR A MINUTE.
WE TRY TO HAVE THAT AVAILABLE, BUT THEY'LL GO AND USE IT ANYWAY.
CAN PEOPLE BRING THEIR OWN TABLE LIKE OVER AT THE OTHER, AT THE PLAYGROUND? LIKE IF, YOU KNOW YOU'RE HAVING 10 LITTLE KIDS, CAN YOU BRING A TABLE, SET IT UP? LIKE PEOPLE BRING THOSE LIKE PORTABLE PICNIC THINGS AND THEY COME IN LIKE A BRIEFCASE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT TURNS INTO A TABLE WITH CHAIRS.
IT'S WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A FOOD TRUCK SHOWS UP AND LIKE A CLOWN'S ON CAMPUS AND THEY'RE DOING BALLOON ART AND FACE PAINTING AND YOU'RE LIKE, THIS ISN'T YOUR PROPERTY.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT KIND OF STUFF.
WHAT KIND OF, UM, REVENUE OR WHATEVER DO WE GET FROM RENTING? WE GET A DECENT AMOUNT FROM OUR RENTALS.
SO LIKE, WE DON'T WANNA GET, I MEAN THAT'S, THAT'S A BIG THING IF YOU GET THING, IF WE GET RID OF IT, IT, IT JUST BECOMES A FREE FOR ALL OF THAT.
THAT WOULD BE, THAT WOULD BE WORSE.
BUT IF WE RAISE IT, IT ALSO BECOMES NOT WORTH IT BECAUSE IF I RAISE IT, I THINK TOO MUCH PRICE THAT YOU YOU CHARGE RIGHT NOW IS SO FAR BELOW WHAT IT WOULD COST FOR THEM TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
THAT RAISING IT A LITTLE SHOULD NOT BE A BIG DEAL.
AND EVERY YEAR WE END UP HAVING TO DO IT.
'CAUSE WE'VE BEEN HAVING THESE ISSUES THE PAST THREE YEARS.
IT'S A HUNDRED DEPOSIT, IT'S A HUNDRED FOR A RESIDENT I BELIEVE.
AND LIKE 150 MAYBE FOR NON-RESIDENTS OR
[00:25:01]
BUSINESSES STILL A STEAL AND IT'S FOUR HOURS.SO YOU, WE DID THE A HUNDRED DOLLARS DEPOSIT 'CAUSE WE'RE LIKE, THAT'S A GOOD CHUNK.
LIKE YOU DON'T WANNA LOSE YOUR DEPOSIT AND ALL THESE PEOPLE LIKE CAN LOOK ON THE CAMERAS, BE LIKE THEY'RE CHECKING THEIR LIST AND THE PLACE THAT'S CLEAN WHEN THEY LEAVE.
IT'S, IT'S, I CAN'T GET THE PEOPLE, THE ONES WHO ARE SIGNING AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE LIKE, OH LET'S CHECK ALL THESE LICENSES.
SO WE'RE WORKING ON IT HOPEFULLY, UM, OBVIOUSLY IF YOU HEAR SOMETHING TELL ME OR IF YOU SEE ANYTHING ON CAMPUS OVER THE WEEKENDS THAT IT'S LIKE A LITTLE BIT IFFY AND I MAY NOT BOB AND I MAY HAVE NOT PLANNED SOMETHING OR RENTED SOMETHING OUT, LIKE ALWAYS JUST LET ME KNOW.
YOU CAN ALWAYS SHOOT ME AN EMAIL, BUT, AND DO YOU SEE THAT ONE PARTICULAR PAVILION OVER ANOTHER? THIS ONE? I'M SORRY.
IT'S LIKE FORK KN THAT'S GOOD THAT THERE'S CAMERAS.
UM, JUST MOVING ON, JUST A REMINDER THAT WE DON'T HAVE MEETINGS IN JULY OR AUGUST, BUT WE DO STILL HAVE TO VISIT THE PARKS AND UM, HOPEFULLY I KNOW PEOPLE WHO AREN'T HERE WILL DO THAT AND BUT IT, SO BOB, UM, RICH DOESN'T HAVE IT DO THE SPREADSHEET.
WHAT WAS OH NO, THAT WAS HER VOLUNTEERS.
FOR SOME REASON THE ONLY WAY, AND I'VE CHANGED HIS RESPONSE, NOT HIS RESPONSIBILITY, HIS ALLOWANCES ON GOOGLE DRIVE CONSISTENTLY.
LIKE I KEEP GOING IN AND GIVING HIM EDITABLE.
I DO EVERYTHING FOR WHATEVER REASON.
HE SAYS HE HAS TO DOWNLOAD THE DOCUMENT, OPEN IT, AND THEN HE HAS TO SAVE IT AND THEN RE-UP.
LIKE NONE OF HIS STUFF IS ACTUALLY GETTING ON THERE.
SO HE JUST ENDS UP TEXTING ME OR CALLING ME, TELLING ME WHAT HIS PLANS ARE.
WE SHOULD BRING HIS COMPUTER HERE.
AND THEN WE'LL LOOK AT IT AND SEE PLAY WITH IT.
IN ALL FAIRNESS, I'M NOT VERY, UM, TECHNOLOGICALLY TALENTED EITHER, SO, BUT I CAN, THAT, THAT SEEMS TO WORK FOR ME.
SO IT COULD BE VERY, YOU KNOW, INNOCENT, NOT SURE HOW TO DO IT.
SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED SOMEONE TO SHOW YOU.
IT COULD JUST BE THE AGE OF HIS TECHNOLOGY.
WELL THAT'S WHAT I'M IS SOMETHING THINKING TOO.
LIKE HE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO IT THROUGH THERE.
THANK YOU FOR NOT SAYING THE AGE OF USER
AND HE COULD LIKE, IF, IF IT'S WORKING THAT WAY.
BUT YOU COULD, IF YOU'D LIKE TO, YOU COULD TELL, YOU COULD JUST EMAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW WHEN HE WANTS TO.
YEAH, THAT WOULD BE, I'LL HAVE HIM DO THAT BECAUSE, AND THEN I'LL JUST PUT IT INTO THE, SO THAT EVERY, SO EVERYBODY SEES IT IN A TIMELY FASHION.
UM, SO WE WANNA REMIND PEOPLE TO STILL VISIT THE PARKS THAT WE'RE ALSO EXPECTING COMMUNICATION.
LIKE I THINK IF THERE'S AN ISSUE AT THE PARKS, LIKE FILL UP, PARK WASH, LET ME KNOW.
LIKE I, IF I CAN GET LIKE A HEADS UP AT THE END OF, UM, JULY AND AUGUST, LIKE, HEY HERE, DON'T FORGET TO LOOK AT THE PARK WATCH.
OR HEY, HERE'S SOME LITTLE THINGS IN CASE YOU DON'T GET TO THE SPREADSHEET RIGHT AWAY.
IF THERE'S BIG CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS UPON ANYTHING THAT WE NORMALLY WOULD COVER, WE CAN TALK VIA EMAIL.
WHAT I WOULD JUST SO THAT THERE'S NOT CONFUSION, YOU'RE NOT GETTING REPEATS OF THE SAME EMAIL.
WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST AND JUST TELL ME IF YOU GUYS THINK THIS MAKES SENSE, IS IF, IF YOU GO TO A PARK AND YOU HAVE SOME, AN ACTION ITEM, YOU PUT IT IN THE SPREADSHEET BUT THEN SEND IT TO LIKE SEND A COMMENT TO SUE LIKE THERE IS AN ACTION ITEM OR CHECK OUT THIS SPREADSHEET OR WHATEVER.
RIGHT? SO THAT I, IF I, IF I, 'CAUSE I GO THROUGH AND READ AND THEN IF I SEE THAT THERE'S A COMMENT I'LL THINK, WHAT DID THIS, DOES HE KNOW THIS RIGHT? I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE, SO THEN IF WE KNOW YEAH.
ALRIGHT SO I THINK THAT'S IT FOR THAT.
IS THERE ANY ANYTHING ELSE ON PARKS THAT WE OKAY SO CAR SHOW.
SO, UM, WE HAVE TWO PLACES WHERE PARK BOARD AND MY TEAMS ARE GONNA BE, UM, ONE OF THEM IS IN HERE.
THESE LONG TABLES BEHIND YOU GUYS ARE THE REGISTRATION AND PRE-REGISTRATION TABLES.
UM, REGISTRATION TECHNICALLY OPENS AT 8:00 AM ON SUNDAY.
THAT'S WHY EVERYONE SHIFTS ARE KIND OF SKEWED.
SO YOU CAN GET IN, I CAN SHOW YOU UM, LYNN, I KNOW THAT YOU'VE USED OUR POS BEFORE MUSICFEST LATELY WE'RE USING OUR POS SYSTEM, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THREE COMPUTERS HERE.
SO EACH GROUP WILL HAVE HOPEFULLY TWO PEOPLE.
ONE IS FOR CASH, ONE IS TO DO POS.
SO LIKE EACH STATION HOPING FOR SIX UP HERE TO GET US STARTED.
UM, DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE? YEAH.
I MIGHT JUST HAVE TO BOUNCE PEOPLE AROUND DEPENDING IF LIKE THIS STATION'S REALLY BUSY OR I NEED SOMEONE OVER THERE.
I'M JUST KIND OF PUTTING PEOPLE IN PLACE WITH ROTATIONS.
[00:30:01]
UM, SO I HAVE SIX PEOPLE UP HERE.UM, WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IS PEOPLE ARE GONNA COME IN ONLY 35 PEOPLE REGISTERED EARLY.
GENERALLY WITH 200 CARS, THAT MEANS ALL THE REST ARE GONNA COME IN THAT DAY WITH EITHER $20 IN CASH OR THEY'RE GOING TO COME IN WITH THEIR CARD.
NOW LAST YEAR WE HAD NO CARDS WHATSOEVER.
WE DIDN'T ACCEPT THEM BECAUSE NO ONE HAD THEM.
SO EVERYONE THAT'S WORKING REGISTRATION ON THE CASH SIDE WILL HAVE A FANNY PACK FULL OF CHANGE AND YOU'LL, IT'S LIKE KIND OF LIKE A WAITRESS PACK.
AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE A COMPUTER UP THERE.
YOU CAN EITHER DO THE POS AND THEY UM, CAMPAIGN FOR YOUR CREDIT CARD OR YOU DO CASH.
AS THEY DO THAT, YOU'LL GET A UM, PLACARD FOR THEIR CAR AND YOU WILL WRITE THEIR FULL NAME AS NEATLY AS YOU CAN.
YOU'LL WRITE THEIR FULL NAME, THE MAKE YEAR AND MODEL OF THEIR CARD.
THEY'RE FILLING OUT A FORM, THEY'RE FILLING OUT THE REGISTER.
THEY'RE FILLING OUT THE REGISTRATION FORM.
SO AS THEY'RE DOING THAT, YOU'RE HANDWRITING.
SO IT'S READABLE, IT'S LIKE READABLE.
UM, SO AS LONG AS IT'S LEGIBLE YOU'LL HAND THAT TO THEM AND THAT'S SHOWING THAT THEY PAID TO GET THEIR CAR JUDGED.
IF THAT IS NOT IN THEIR WINDSHIELD, THEY WILL NOT BE JUDGED AND THEY'LL BE ASKED TO GO INSIDE TO REGISTER THEIR VEHICLE.
SO THEY HAVE TO SEE YOU GUYS BEFORE THEY GO OUT TO THEIR CARS AND SIT THERE ALL DAY.
UM, SO JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION.
POS IS THERE A SURCHARGE ON THAT? NO.
UM, BEHIND YOU GUYS TOO WILL BE ALL THE CAR SHOW SHIRTS.
PEOPLE WERE REALLY UPSET LAST YEAR THAT WE DIDN'T DO A SHIRT LIKE WE DID THE FIRST YEAR.
SO WE DID SHIRTS EXCEPT THIS YEAR WE WILL BE SELLING THEM.
IF THEY'D LIKE ONE, THEY CAN TAKE ONE WITH THEIR REGISTRATION.
SO BE IT THAT ADDITIONAL $25 ON THEIR POS AND YOU'LL HAVE JUST TWO OPTIONS THAT DAY.
SO IT WON'T BE CONFUSING LIKE BOTTLED WATER, THEY WON'T GYM PASS WHATEVER.
IT WILL JUST SAY CARER REGISTRATION CARER T-SHIRT.
AND ONCE YOU CLICK ON IT, IT TALLIES EVERYTHING UP AND YOU JUST HIT PAY.
I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH IN A SECOND.
UM, AND THEN IF THEY DON'T WANT A T-SHIRT RIGHT THEN AND THEN THEY CAN ALWAYS GET ONE LATER AND THEY CAN EITHER PAY CASH OR CREDIT CARD AGAIN EITHER WAY.
'CAUSE PEOPLE WERE ASKING MEMBER, THEY WERE ASKING DO DO YOU HAVE RECEIPT? GET AN EMAIL IF YOU PUT THEIR EMAIL IN.
BUT GENERALLY IT'S TOO MUCH OF A PAIN TO GET IT AND IT'S JUST EASIER TO SAY LIKE YOU'LL GET IT ON YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENT AND WE'LL SAY I PROVIDENCE TOWNSHIP ON IT.
UM, IF THEY WANT A T-SHIRT LATER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, WE HAVE OUR EMERGENCY UM, UNIT TABLE AS WELL AS LIKE OUR COMMAND CENTER IN CASE ANYTHING GOES DOWN.
'CAUSE THERE'LL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON PREMISE AS WELL AS OUR TOWNSHIP TABLE OUT FRONT HERE AS WELL.
SO IF THEY WANT ONE LATER THEY CAN BUY A T-SHIRT OUT THERE.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO NECESSARILY COME BACK THROUGH HERE.
SO I HAVE TWO STATIONS GOING FOR THAT.
UM, OTHERWISE IN THIS ROOM, THIS BIG TABLE IN THE FRONT IS OUR GIFT BASKET TABLE.
WE HAVE 15 GIFT BASKETS RANGING FROM $50 VALUES TO OVER A HUNDRED DOLLARS VALUES.
IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU LIKE.
UM, WE UM, WILL BE SELLING THE RAFFLE TICKETS AND I BELIEVE WE'RE DOING 15 RAFFLES, WHICH WOULD BE OUR ARM LENGTH FOR $10 IN ONE SINGLE RAFFLE FOR FIVE.
I HAVE DOLLARS FOR 10 TICKETS.
TICKETS FOR 15 TICKETS AND $1 UH, $5 FOR ONE TICKET? I BELIEVE SO, YES.
WELL I'M A SIGN, WE ALREADY HAVE A PRE-MADE.
I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER ALL THE NUMBERS IN MY HEAD.
BUT I HAVE ONE GIRL THAT WILL BE HERE ALL DAY DOING THAT.
AND WHAT SHE'S ALSO GONNA DO IS KIND OF GO AROUND AND SEE WHAT BASKET IS MORE POPULAR.
SO I KNOW FOR NEXT YEAR WHAT KIND OF BASKETS TO KEEP MAKING AND WHICH ONES TO KIND OF FINISH.
AND WHICH, UM, THE DOUBLE SIDED TABLE RIGHT HERE.
UM, WAWA, UM, HAS SAID, UM, THEY HAVEN'T SENT ME CONFIRMATION YET, BUT THEY HAVE PROMISED THAT THEY WOULD DO THE FREE LIKE CONTINENTAL AGAIN.
SO LAST YEAR THEY DID COFFEE, THEY DID DECAF, THEY DID ALL THE CREAMERS, ALL THE SUGARS, ALL THE PUPS, DONUTS, DANISH AND BANANAS.
AND THAT WAS ALL SET UP HERE FOR ALL PEOPLE THAT CAME IN EARLY.
'CAUSE THEY WILL BE HERE BY 6:00 AM LIKE THEY WILL BE HERE READY TO GO.
SO, UM, WE DID THAT FOR THAT TABLE THERE AND THEN WE PUT CHAIRS OVER HERE SO PEOPLE CAN SIT AND EAT, UM, AND GET OUT THE SUN FOR A LITTLE BIT.
THOSE ARE FOR THE PARTICIPANTS WHOEVER WALKS FOR US, FOR ANYONE WHO WALKS IN.
SO THAT'S ALL ON THESE TABLES.
ANYONE WHO WALKS IN CAN GET A DONUT, WHATEVER YOU WANT.
UM, I THINK LAST YEAR WE ONLY THREW AWAY MAYBE A COUPLE THINGS OF COFFEE BY THE TIME THE SHOW HAD ENDED.
[00:35:01]
UM, WHEN YOU GO OUTSIDE THE DOORS, UM, WE'LL HAVE THE EOC AND UM, TOWNSHIP TENT RIGHT HERE.UM, I COULD, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS CAN SEE THIS AS WELL.
I WENT ON LIKE YOU DID A NICE JOB.
LIKE I, I'M, I'M LIKE WOW, IS SHE GONNA DO THIS? YES, BUT I'M NOT A MAD PERSON SO I WAS LIKE TURN.
LIKE IF YOU JUST SAID LIKE PUT THE TENT IN FRONT, THE TOWNSHIP BUILDING, I'M LIKE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT SIDE.
IS IT ON THE DRIVEWAY? IS IT ON CONCRETE? IS IT UNDER THIS IS THIS.
SO IF YOU WALK OUT THESE DOORS TO YOUR LEFT WILL BE THE VOC AND THE TOWNSHIP TENT.
IT'S A DOUBLE TENT SO IT'S A 20 BY 10.
SO WE'LL HAVE THREE TABLES UNDER THAT WITH ALL THE SORTS OF PEOPLE AND INFORMATION.
AND THEN PARALLEL TO THAT WILL BE A TENT THAT IS FOR THE DJ.
SO THE DJ WILL BE THERE AND HE'LL BE SINGING, UM, NOT SINGING, HE'LL BE PLAYING CAR SHOW RELATED MUSIC.
HE'LL BE DOING ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH LIKE THE SPONSORS AND THANK YOU TO THEM.
UM, AND LIKE CHECK OUT THE TOWNSHIP TABLE FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PARK REC DEPARTMENT, YADA YADA YADA TYPE OF STUFF.
UM, THE CARS ARE ALL PARKED IN THE GINORMOUS PARKING LOT OVER THERE AND IF WE DO FILL THAT UP, WE USE THE CLOSED DRIVEWAY RIGHT NEXT TO THE PLATE.
WAIT, I CAN'T PICTURE WHICH CARS THE JUDGE CARS, THE CARS THAT REGISTERED, THE CARS THAT REGISTER ARE GOING TO BE IN THE PARKING LOT BY THE, BY THE PARK, BY BLACKROCK SWING SET.
SO THAT'S WHERE THE OVERFLOW WILL BE.
EVERYONE WILL MAINLY BE IN THE BIG PARKING LOT RIGHT OUT FRONT.
SO UM, IS THE PARK CLOSED THAT DAY? YES.
LIKE FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO GO ON THE SWINGS.
SO WE'RE GONNA PUT THAT BROADCAST OUT TOMORROW.
NOW IF THEY WANNA PARK AT QUEST AS SPECTATORS AND WALK UP AND USE THE PLAYGROUND, BY ALL MEANS GO AHEAD.
THEY JUST CAN'T USE OUR ENTRANCES.
SO I DON'T TECHNICALLY CLOSE THE PARK FOR THIS 'CAUSE THEY CAN STILL UTILIZE THINGS.
THEY JUST HAVE TO PARK DOWN THERE.
SO WHAT WE'LL GO UP TOMORROW IS UM, PARKING AT BLACKROCK IS CLOSED PARKING FOR PLAYGROUND USE AND SPECTATORS FOR CAR SHOW.
IT'S GONNA GET ME CAN YOU SEE THAT? MY SCREEN'S VERY INTERESTING WHEN I MOVE IT.
YEAH, WHEN YOU GET TOO CLOSE YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.
CAN YOU SEE IF I DO THIS? SO THIS IS THE BIG PARKING LOT WHERE EVERYONE'S GONNA BE PARKED OKAY.
FOR JUDGE FOR THEIR JUDGE CARS.
THIS AREA BACK HERE IS WHERE OUR OVERFLOW WILL BE RIGHT NEXT ADJACENT.
THERE'S THERE'S NOT THAT MANY PARKING SPOTS THERE IS THERE? NO, WE WE'LL GET 'EM IN.
WE DID LAST YEAR AND THEN IF WE NEED MORE THEY'LL START GOING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY.
UM, THE FOOD TRUCK, UM, IS POTLUCK FOOD TRUCK.
THEY'LL BE IN THE UM, MAIN PARKING LOT RIGHT OUT FRONT THE BUILDING HERE, THE LITTLE ONE.
AND SO WE'LL HANDLE ICE CREAM AND THE TOWNSHIP STAFF AND THE VOLUNTEERS LIKE, UM, IF YOU WANTED TO BRING YOUR CAR AND NOT HAVE IT JUDGED, LIKE A LOT OF OUR STAFF HAVE THEIR OWN CARS THAT THEY'VE WORKED ON FOR YEARS AND LIKE TO BRING IT TO SHOW OFF.
THEY'LL HAVE THEIR CARS PARKED OUT FRONT OF THIS BUILDING AS WELL.
THEY'RE LIKE THE NON-JD SECTION.
UM,
JUST LIKE NORMAL LIKE EVERY OTHER EVENT.
AND THEN UM, THE SHUTTLES WILL BE RUNNING JUST LIKE THEY WOULD FOR COMMUNITY DAY OR THE LAST CAR SHOW.
UM, THEY WILL PARK AT QUEST AND THE GOLF CARTS WILL TAKE YOU UP THROUGH THE PROPERTY, UH, BEHIND THE SKATE PARK AND UP THROUGH THE PAVILION AREA AND OVER AND THEY'LL DROP YOU OFF RIGHT OVER HERE.
RIGHT AT THE T IF YOU'RE WALKING, YOU CAN TAKE THAT PATH IF YOU'D LIKE TO OR YOU CAN TAKE THE ACTUAL BUILT SIDEWALK ON BLACKROCK ROAD AND WALK UP HERE.
SO WE GET AN EVEN AMOUNT OF PEOPLE ON EITHER END, IT DOESN'T MATTER.
BUT WE PREFER PEDESTRIANS STAY AWAY FROM THE GOLF CARTS.
IF HOW MANY GOLF CARTS WE HAVE TWO.
AND YOU HAVE DRIVERS THAT ANYTHING? YEP, WE HAVE DRIVERS JUST LIKE WE NORMALLY DO FOUR PEOPLE IN KNOWNORTHERN GOLF CART.
IT'S GONNA BE CAR ALWAYS LUCKS OUT.
BUT UM, SO OTHER LOGISTICS FOR THAT DAY.
UM, WE'LL HAVE FOOD FOR STAFF, UM, LIKE WE ALWAYS DO, UM, LIKE I SAID, HELP YOURSELF TO COFFEE AND EVERYTHING.
WE HAVE UM, OUR EOC AND OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT STAFF THAT ARE GONNA BE HERE, UM, RIDING AROUND AND ONE OF OUR UM, GATORS WITH WATERS FIRST AID KIDS.
IT'S GONNA BE WARMER OUT THAT DAY.
SO LIKE PEOPLE KNOW THAT THIS IS KIND OF LIKE OUR COOLING STATION IF YOU DO GET OVERHEATED OUT THERE 'CAUSE IT IS ALL BLACKTOP IN LITTLE SHADE.
[00:40:01]
IT'S ONE OF THOSE LIKE UNLESS YOU'RE PREPARED, THERE'S ALWAYS THIS OR I'M JUST GONNA HAVE THOSE GUYS ON FOOT KIND OF WALK AROUND MAKING SURE EVERYONE HAS WATER IN WHAT THEY NEED.UM, THE PUBLIC WORKS IS HANDLING ALL THE BARRICADES, ALL THE TRAFFIC STOPS, ALL THE SHUTTLES.
THEY'RE KIND OF OUTSIDE MAKING SURE THAT THE JUDGE CARS ARE BEING PARKED CORRECTLY SO THEY'RE NOT NEAR EACH OTHER.
SO YOU DON'T OPEN YOUR DOORS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE SMACKING THE CAR NEXT TO YOU.
SO EVEN THOUGH WE MIGHT HAVE LIKE 180 SPOTS OUT THERE, IT REALLY TURNS INTO LIKE MAYBE A HUNDRED WITH THE WAY THAT WE PARK THE CARS.
SO WE KIND OF, WE PLAY WITH IT.
UM, WE'LL PLAY WITH IT TOMORROW AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH SPACES FOR EVERYBODY, BUT UM, AND THEY'LL BE LIKE ALMOST IN RANDOM ORDER AS THEY REGISTER.
WE DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO PICK A SPOT.
WHEREVER WE ARE IN THE NEXT SPOT IS WHERE YOUR CAR'S GOING TO GO.
THAT WAY WE'RE NOT BEING BIASED, WE'RE JUST PARK YOUR CAR, GO GET YOUR THING, WE'RE OUT.
UM, THERE'S JUDGES THAT WILL WALK AROUND.
THEY'RE KIND OF GOING OUTSIDE OF OUR FIRE CHIEF AND OUR POLICE CHIEF AND OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM.
YOU WON'T REALLY KNOW WHO THE JUDGES ARE PER SE.
UM, WE TRY TO KIND OF KEEP IT THAT WAY.
SO IT'S NOT LIKE PEOPLE ARE CHASING THEM DOWN, LIKE TRYING TO GET THEM TO TALK ABOUT THEIR CARS.
IF PEOPLE ASK WHO, WHO ARE, WHERE ARE THE JUDGES FROM? CAN WE JUST SAY THERE'S, THEY'RE UPPER PROVIDENCE.
UM, OUTSIDE OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TROPHY THAT YOU GUYS DO, THE CHIEFS OF WAR, THE CHIEF, THE TWO CHIEFS, UM, IT IT ARE, THEY'RE VOLUNTEER JUDGES.
SO THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE JUDGED BEFORE THEY'RE VOLUNTEER.
THERE'S VOLUNTEER BUT THEY DON'T GET PAID.
THEY COME IN AND JUDGE THE CARS.
UM, THEY HAVE EXTENSIVE, EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE FOR IT.
SO REMEMBER WHO, WHO SAID THEY WOULD DO THE SUPERVISOR FOR THE BOARD? I THINK IT'S BILL AND HOL.
WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE SUPERVISORS? THEY JUST GET A, THEY GET ONE THE BIG OF THE TROPHIES AND HAND IT UP TO THEIR PICK.
FIRE CHIEF, POLICE CHIEF BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND PUBLIC WORKS.
THE ONES THAT AWARD THE, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN SPECIALS.
AND THEN WE HAVE HAVE 39 OUR, THIS IS MY FIRST FIRST CAR SHOP.
YOU HAVEN'T LIVED UNTIL YOU'VE BEEN TO OUR CAR SHOP.
IT IS 40 ODD TROPHIES THAT WE WILL HAND OUT.
AND THEY'RE ORCHESTRATED SO THAT AS SOON AS WE START THE TROPHIES ARE AT LIKE ONE 15.
WE START, WE DO THE GIFT BASKETS AND WE DO THE 50 50 RAFFLE AROUND ONE 15 IS THE HOPE.
AND THEN RIGHT AFTER THAT I HAVE A PUBLIC WORKS ASSEMBLY LINE GOING THROUGH THIS ROOM AND JOSH HAS THEM LAID OUT SO HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHICH ONE TOM'S ABOUT TO CALL AND IT GETS HANDED DOWN THE LINE UNTIL THEY GET THE DOOR WITH IT AND THEY HAND IT TO ME AND THEN I HAND IT TO THE SET INDIVIDUAL WHO WON.
HOPEFULLY THEY'RE THERE AND THEY MEET ME HALFWAY.
BUT THAT'S GENERALLY HOW IT WORKS.
SO IT'S A VERY SPECIFIC 'CAUSE ALL OF THEM ARE LABELED.
IT'S NOT JUST LIKE HERE'S A TROPHY, HERE'S A TROPHY.
THEY'RE SPECIFICALLY LABELED FOR WHAT YOU WANT.
THAT IT'S LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF TROPHIES.
IT IS A LOT OF AND THEN THE BIG ONES.
YES, THE BIG ONES ARE THE BIGGEST ONE THAT THAT'S THE BEST IN SHOW.
LIKE THAT'S LIKE THE BEST ONE YOU CAN GET'S VERY GOOD.
IT'S SO MUCH WE HAVE, LIKE I SAID, WE HAD TO PACK ALL THE 15 BASKETS TODAY.
SO THAT WAS OUR BIG THING TODAY WAS GETTING THEM READY.
THE GUYS LUCKILY SET UP THE ROOM FOR US TODAY.
SO TOMORROW IS LITERALLY STAGING, MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF MY TEAM THAT ARE HERE, IF YOU GUYS WANT TO COME IN TOMORROW AND LEARN POS, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME.
UM, WHAT TIME IS THAT? WE'LL BE HERE MOST OF THE DAY.
UM, I MEANT I TEXTED YOU BACK THE OTHER, YOUR LAST ONE ABOUT THE MINUTES AND I NEVER ACTUALLY SENT IT TO YOU.
I REALIZED THAT TODAY
UM, BUT TEXT ME IF YOU GUYS WANT TO COME OVER.
ONE OF US WILL BE HERE MELISSA OR I CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT.
I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS OF COURSE.
THE FIRST ONE IS, MY ASSIGNMENT ACCORDING TO WHAT YOU SENT OUT IS SELLING SHIRTS.
IT LOOKS LIKE JUST SELLING SHIRTS.
SO YOU'RE AT THE TOWNSHIP TABLE.
SO YOU'RE GONNA GET TO TALK ABOUT ONE OUTSIDE.
SO YOU'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT UM, AND MARIA ALREADY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT.
SO YOU WERE IN YOUR LIKE GOOD HANDS.
BUT THAT'S KIND OF MY TOWNSHIP TABLE.
I'LL HAVE ALL OF OUR INFORMATION.
OH YOU'RE ROTATING BETWEEN, I HAVE YOU IN HERE AS REGISTRATION AND OUT THERE DEPENDING ON WHERE IT, WHERE MEET.
YOU'RE GONNA BE WITH OUR EOC TEAM AND IT'S GONNA BE LOUD 'CAUSE YOU'RE NEAR THE DJ BUT YOU'LL GET A LOT OF ROOM BECAUSE YOU'LL HAVE UM, HANDLES LIKE RIGHT NEAR YOU AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE WALKING THROUGH.
THEY GIVE YOU FREE SAMPLES THOUGH.
THE SECOND QUESTION I HAVE IS, I DUNNO IF YOU GUYS ENTERING MY CAR? YEAH.
[00:45:01]
YES.I HAVE, I HAVE BEEN PREPARING FOR THIS HOWEVER.
UM, BUT WHAT AM I GOING TO DO YOU PLAN? SHOULD I COME IN AND PARK? YEAH.
SO COME IN AND YOU'LL COME IN THE MAIN ENTRANCE AND NOT THE BACK LIKE OTHER STAFF WILL.
SO YOU'LL COME IN THE MAIN ENTRANCE, FOLLOW THE GUYS IN YELLOW AND THEY'LL SAY ARE YOU A REGISTERED CAR? AND YOU SAY, YES, I'M A REGISTERED CAR.
AND THEY'LL PUT YOU IN A PARKING SPOT.
YOU'LL COME IN HERE, YOU PRE-REGISTERED.
SO YOU WILL GET, YOUR STUFF WILL ALREADY BE MADE FOR YOU.
YOU'LL GET HANDED THAT YOU PUT IN YOUR WINDSHIELD AND THEN YOU COME IN TO, YOU VOLUNTEER AWAY COMING EARLY FOR VOLUNTEERING.
DON'T WE HAVE TO BE HERE AT SEVEN? YES.
TO VOLUNTEER THE CARS ALREADY OUT THERE.
PUBLIC WORK STAFF IS GETTING HERE AT SEVEN BUT MOST OF THE PLACE WILL BE BARRICADED.
THERE'LL BE SOMEONE ALREADY, LIKE AS SOON AS THEY DRIVE IN, THEY'RE CHOPPING SOMEONE OFF AT THE MAIN GATE TO STOP PEOPLE FROM COMING IN RIGHT AWAY.
BUT THE CARS LINE UP AROUND SEVEN.
TO GET IN OR THEY'RE ALREADY IN HERE AND THEN THEY LIKE WAIT AROUND FOR SOMEONE TO TELL 'EM TO MOVE THEIR CAR.
IF IT'S A NICE DAY, THEY WANT THAT GOOD SPOT.
THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY PARK THEIR CAR, WE'RE GONNA MOVE THEM TO WHERE WE NEED TO TO WHERE WE, THE OTHER COMMENT I HAVE IS THERE'S UM, A FACEBOOK GROUP I YOU HAD POSTED ON FACEBOOK GROUP DID YOU SEE THE COMMENT AND SOMEONE'S LIKE, HOW IS THIS FAIR? WE'RE THE ONES THAT SPEND ALL THIS MONEY TO RESTORE OUR VEHICLES AND WE HAVE TO PAY TO ENTER OUR CAR.
NOT THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO PAY TO BE HERE.
THEY'RE VERY UPSET THAT I DON'T HAVE A FEE TO COME IN AND LOOK AT THE CAR AND THAT'S FINE.
THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME WITH YOUR CAR AND YOU'LL HAVE TO COME SEE THEM.
IT WAS, I GOT SENT THE WHOLE SCREENSHOT OF IT'S COMMUNITY EVENT, LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITY EVENTS ARE, ARE FREE.
AND HOW MANY DID WE HAVE IN THE LAST 200? NO, HOW MANY PEOPLE CAME? OH, WE HAD ABOUT A THOUSAND LAST YEAR.
SO IT IS A BUSY EVENT AND PEOPLE COME JUST TO, THEY PARK AT THE QUEST, THEY'LL PLAY AT THE PLAYGROUND AND THEN THEY'LL END UP WALKING AROUND AND CHECKING OUT THE CARS.
'CAUSE HANDLES IS HERE, THERE'S MUSIC BEING PLAYED THE WHOLE TIME.
IT'S A FUN, IT'S A FUN ENVIRONMENT SO IT'S GONNA BE SUPER FUN.
UM, WHAT I'M ALSO TRYING TO DO AND DURING THE DAY, UM, IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE AT THE TENT AND YOU'RE LIKE, I REALLY NEED TO GO INSIDE, TAKE A BREAK, I HAVE HAVE PLENTY OF PEOPLE ON TO ROTATE.
SO I HAVE YOU IN SET POSITIONS JUST 'CAUSE FOR THIS ONE SPECIFICALLY THERE'S MONEY INVOLVED AND I DON'T WANT PEOPLE WANDERING AND NOT HAVING, I NEED THAT PURSE AT ALL TIMES.
SO, UM, AND ALSO LIKE WITH THE POS, I CAN'T JUST HAVE IT LIVE AND NO ONE'S SITTING AT IT.
SO IT IS, IF YOU NEED A BREAK OR ANYTHING, THE REGISTRATION WILL HAVE TWO WALKIE-TALKIES.
YOU CAN QUICKLY RADIO ME AND JUST SAY, CASEY CAN I GRAB IT? CAN I GO INSIDE? OR HEY CAN I, IT'S A LULL TIME.
CAN I WALK AROUND, CHECK OUT THE CARS? I DON'T HAVE SET BREAKS IN FOR YOU.
UM, MOST OF THE JOBS THAT I GIVE PEOPLE ARE SEDENTARY BUT YOU MIGHT JUST NEED TO GET UP AND STRETCH AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT AND RESPECT IT.
UM, MELISSA AND MAUREEN ARE IN HERE ALL DAY.
SO IF I'M NOT ANSWERING FOR WHATEVER REASON OR IT'S EASIER TO JUST BE LIKE, HEY, DO YOU MIND IF I RUN, I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.
LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE TO WALK LIKE RADIO ME, BUT YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.
AND YOU HAVE PLENTY OF PEOPLE OVER AT YOUR TABLE TOO.
LIKE EVERYONE IS STACKED WITH HELP SO YOU SHOULD BE GOOD IF YOU NEED A BREAK OR GO GET LUNCH.
LIKE I NEVER WANT YOU TO FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T LEAVE YOUR POST.
IT'S JUST SOMETIMES I GET CARRIED AWAY.
SO FIND SOMEBODY OR YEAH, WE'LL BE ABLE TO, WE'LL BE ABLE TO WORK IT OUT IS A LOT OF STUFF.
I HAVE THEM IN MY OFFICE FOR YOU.
SO I'LL GIVE THEM TO YOU GUYS ONCE.
I WILL GIVE YOU A UM, IF ANYTHING CHANGES BETWEEN NOW AND SUNDAY, YOU COME FIND ME WHEN YOU GET HERE.
UM, I'LL PUT YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO GO AND I'LL RUN THROUGH ANYTHING THAT I FEEL LIKE I MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN OR YOU WEREN'T SURE ABOUT.
I'LL BE HERE ALL DAY SO JUST LET ME KNOW OR HAVE SOMEONE LET ME KNOW ON THE RADIO THAT YOU GUYS ARE HERE AND I SIGNED UP FOR COMING AT LIKE 10 30.
I HAVE YOU FOR 10 THE NIGHT THE NIGHT BEFORE AND I'LL BE COMING FROM NEW JERSEY.
I'M HAPPY BECAUSE THE 10 THIRTY'S ARE UM, OVERLAPPING WITH THE EARLIER SHIFT.
SO IF YOU'RE THE 7:00 AM YOU'RE DONE AT 11 AND THE NEXT SHIFT STARTS AT 10 30.
SO YOU HAVE THAT HALF HOUR OVERLAP TO BE LIKE, THIS IS WHAT'S GOING ON.
WE HAVE WEAR T-SHIRTS, THIS IS WHAT'S GOING LIKE, IT'S KIND OF A NICE OKAY.
WELL I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
UM, ALL RIGHT, SO MOVING ON FROM, OKAY, I'LL TRY TO MEET THESE FAST 'CAUSE I KNOW EVERYONE WANTS TO GO HOME.
UM, SO CONCERTS STARTED LAST NIGHT.
[00:50:01]
HAD YO-YO AND UM, JESSIE OUT LAST NIGHT AND THEY ARE A CHILDREN'S INTERACTIVE GROUP.UM, IT WAS ENTIRELY TOO MUCH FUN.
WE HAD ABOUT 250 PEOPLE THERE.
THESE LITTLE GUYS FROM TWO TO 14 ENTERTAINED AND HAD A BLAST FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF.
UM, WE PARTNERED, WELL WE ALWAYS GIVE THIS CONCERT, UM, AS A, A DONATION IF YOU WILL, TO THE RO FOR LIBRARY AS THEIR SUMMER READING KICKOFF.
SO THEY COME AND THEY PRESENT THEIR SUMMER READING KICKOFF LIST AND THE GAMES THAT THEY DO AND THE WHOLE THING.
UM, AND WE PROVIDE THE CONCERT AND THE VENUE AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
IT WAS A GREAT TURNOUT, BEAUTIFUL NIGHT.
COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER CONCERT NIGHT.
UM, AND THEN NEXT WEEK IS RED ROOSTER BAND, UM, NEXT WEDNESDAY AT SIX.
SO IF YOU'RE FREE AND YOU JUST WANNA COME HANG OUT AND CHECK OUT A CONCERT, RED ROOSTER BAND IS KIND OF LIKE A TWINGY COUNTRY BAND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND.
I WAS, I, UM, I HAVE TO CHECK
UM, BUT WE USUALLY HAVE A BIG PARK AND REC TABLE WITH SWAG AND GIVEAWAYS AND ALL OUR SO, BUT AT THE CONCERTS MM-HMM.
THERE'S A LOT OF BEACH BALLS EVERYWHERE.
AND THEY HAVE CONFETTI IN THEM, SO WHEN YOU SHAKE IT, LIKE CONFETTI HAS EVERYWHERE.
SO BIG HEAD LAST NIGHT AND THE FOAM FINGERS WE'RE GOOD.
BUT YEAH, SO WE HAVE 'EM FOR THE REST OF THE SUMMER.
SWIFTY IS IN JULY, RAIN DATE IN AUGUST, AS YOU GUYS KNOW.
UM, I HAVEN'T CHECKED THE LIST ON THIS ONE YET, BUT IF, UM, I KNOW THIS WAS KIND OF LIKE A HOT ONE FOR EVERYONE TO COME TO, SO LET ME KNOW THE WEEK BEFORE.
SO IF I DON'T NEED A TON OF MY STAFF AND IT MIGHT JUST BE ME, THAT'S FINE.
IF I HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE OTHERWISE.
I THINK LIKE EVERYBODY SIGNED UP.
I WAS LOOKING, BUT I HAVEN'T SIGNED UP YET.
I HAVEN'T, AGAIN, THE MORE THE MERRIER, BUT I WON'T HAVE PAID STAFF TO COME OUT IF I HAVE, IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO, YEAH.
IS THERE ANYONE OF THE CONCERTS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANYONE VOLUNTEERED FOR? I THINK THE ONLY ONE MIGHT BE KIT.
SHE'S A KIT INTERACTIVE THEATER.
SO SHE'S A, UM, BROADWAY PERSON FROM NEW YORK WHO STARTED HER OWN BUSINESS AND SHE GOES AROUND TO SCHOOLS AND THEY ALL HAVE LIKE A SIGNIFICANT MESSAGE, BUT IT'S LIKE SPONTANEOUS THEATER.
LIKE SHE BRINGS THEM UP, LIKE YOU PICK THE THEME AND THEN SHE, IT'S A HISTORICAL STORY.
AND SHE TEACHES THE KIDS STUFF AS THEY COME UP AND LIKE ACT OUT THE WHOLE ENTIRE THING.
I'M REALLY HOPING IT'S A GOOD TURNOUT.
WE'VE NEVER DONE IT, SO WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES.
BUT THAT ONE'S UM, THE ONLY ONE IN AUGUST.
'CAUSE THE SECOND DATE WAS THE SWIFTY RAIN DATE.
WHEN IS, UM, TIM WILLIAMS? HE'S NEW.
[5. Old Business]
QUICKLY WE COULD MOVE ON TO JUST OLD BUSINESS.SO IN REGARDS TO THE JAM NEXT YEAR, TAYLOR DID SPEAK WITH MIKE DIXON AND HE'S VERY INTERESTED IN ENTHUSIASTIC.
SO, UM, LIKE HE'S LIKE, I'LL REMIND HIM WHEN I DO THE, THE PROPOSED MEETING AGENDA WHEN I SEND IT OUT, WHATEVER TIME IN, IN AUGUST.
YEAH, BECAUSE WE'RE OFF JULY AND AUGUST.
I'LL JUST REMIND HIM TO INVITE MIKE DIXON TO THAT IF MM-HMM.
[6. Other/Comments]
ALL RIGHT.I DON'T KNOW, I JUST PUT THAT 'CAUSE WE'VE DONE THAT BEFORE.
I THINK, I DUNNO IF THERE WAS ANY, I DON'T THINK WE HAD ONE.
UM, SINCE, UM, NO, WE HAD SHRED IT.
WE HAD THE SHREDDED EVENT SINCE OUR LAST MEETING, UM, WHERE YOU WORKED THAT ONE, BUT IT WENT REALLY WELL.
UM, MAUREEN WAS TEXTING ME THROUGHOUT AND IT ENDED UP GOING MUCH LONGER THAN WE ANTICIPATED.
WE CUT IT OFF, BUT THERE WAS STILL A STREAM OF CARS THAT WERE STILL COMING THROUGH WHEN WE WERE DONE.
SO EVEN THOUGH WE ENDED AT ONE MM-HMM.
I THINK YOU GUYS WERE HERE UNTIL LIKE TWO OR TWO 30 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THERE WAS, 'CAUSE THERE WAS STILL SOME MORE CARS, BUT BECAUSE EVEN WHEN I LEFT, I WAS LIKE, OKAY, YOU COULD GO DO MY SHRED STUFF NOW.
WE HAD A LOT OF, WE MADE A LOT OF MONEY IN DONATIONS, WHICH ABLE, WE WERE ABLE TO PAY OFF ONE OF THE TRUCKS, WHICH WAS GREAT.
SO I THINK WE BROUGHT IN A LITTLE BIT OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO SEND DONATIONS FROM PEOPLE COMING THAT DAY.
DOES THAT GET POSTED IN THE MINUTES? IT DOES NOT.
'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ACCURATE NUMBER IS.
YOU CAN SAY WE MADE A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT DAY.
THERE WERE A COUPLE PEOPLE THAT CAME THROUGH THREE, TWO OR THREE TIMES.
[00:55:01]
WAS LIKE, OH, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD ELECTRONICS.AND THEN WE HAD SOME PEOPLE THAT DECIDED THAT THEY JUST DIDN'T WANT TO STOP AND HAVE ME TELL THEM WHICH WAY THEY GO.
AND THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD GO IN THE RIGHT WAY AND THEY TURNED AROUND AND THEY WERE GOING THE WRONG WAY.
I WAS LIKE, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET.
THAT'S WHY I'M STANDING HERE STOPPING EVERY OTHER CAR.
PEOPLE WERE SO APPRECIATIVE AND SO GRATEFUL, REALLY HAPPY.
AND SO THEY CLUB WAS A GREAT COMMUNITY THEN.
NO, IT'S ONE OF OUR MOST ATTENDED ONES IF YOU CONSIDER IT.
UM, I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE MENTIONED WAS THAT, UM, THEY WOULD'VE APPRECIATED US TELLING THEM THAT IT WAS THE FURTHER ENTRANCE INSTEAD OF THE ONE THAT EVERYBODY THOUGHT THEY WERE COMING IN.
SO THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE COMING IN THE MAIN ENTRANCE.
SO THEY WOULD PULL OVER AND STOP ALL THE TRAFFIC BEHIND THEM.
UHHUH,
YEAH, I WAS GONNA SAY, YOU YOU SO MANY SIGNS.
LIKE, IT, IT BECOMES DOWN TO LIKE, AND I DIDN'T DRIVE OUT THERE, SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT.
I, I SAW THE, THE SIGN RIGHT WHEN I CAME IN MM-HMM.
BUT I DIDN'T GO FURTHER DOWN TO SEE.
THERE WERE, THERE WERE MULTIPLE ON EITHER END ON BLACK PATH POINTING YOU.
AND WE HAD ONE SPECIFICALLY ACROSS FROM THE ENTRANCE SAYING LIKE, HERE.
I THINK THE BIG THING IS, IS BEFORE THESE EVENTS, IT'S GOOD KNOWLEDGE FOR ME TO KNOW BECAUSE WE HAVE A TON OF LAWN SIGNS WITH ARROWS, LIKE JUST ARROWS.
AND MY GOAL IS ALWAYS LIKE, OVERS, SIGN IT.
AND THEY DIDN'T OVERS SIGN THIS ONE.
LIKE, WE DIDN'T HAVE AS MANY OUT AS WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE, BUT IT'S ALWAYS LIKE EVERY YEAR WITH, YOU NEVER KNOW THE ARROWS HAD GONE PAST THE ENTRIES.
AND YOU'RE LIKE, OH, IT'S THIS ONE.
YOU'RE LIKE, NO, IT'S THAT ONE.
AND THEY, THERE'S STILL MORE ERRORS.
THEY JUST DIDN'T SEE FURTHER DOWN THE LINE.
AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE OVERWHELMED.
BUT EVERYBODY, FOR THE MOST PART, EVERYONE WAS NICE.
FURTHER THOUGHTS ON FEASIBILITY.
YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULD AT SOME POINT, BUT YOU MAY NOT HAVE GOTTEN TO IT TO SEE IF WELL, WHEN I TALKED TO TIM AFTER MUSIC FEST, IT WAS THAT MONDAY AFTERWARDS HE WAS PRETTY DEFINITIVE ON THE DATE.
JUST 'CAUSE OF HIS MUSIC SCHEDULE ALREADY IS BOOKED ALL NEXT YEAR.
SO IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT IF WE START TALK, IF I START TALKING TO HIM NOW, I THINK OUR GOAL WAS SIMILAR TO COMMUNITY DAY.
IT WAS LIKE, LET'S PICK A MONTH THAT WE'RE ALWAYS GONNA DO IT.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, LIKE EVEN THIS YEAR, LIKE COMMUNITY DAYS IN SEPTEMBER WHEN THE LAST TWO, THE LAST YEAR, THE LAST TWO YEARS WAS OCTOBER.
SO IT'S LIKE YOU GOTTA STICK TO SOMETHING.
IT'S LIKE GOING WITH EVERYONE'S FEEDBACK INTERNALLY.
IT SEEMS SEPTEMBER WAS BETTER, BUT THEN OUR THEMES ARE FALL RELATED.
AND THE SAME THINGS WITH TIM WILLIAMS. HE'S LIKE, I'M BOOKED IN 2025 ALREADY.
LIKE HE LEFT US THAT DATE AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS BOOKED.
SO, UM, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CONSIDER.
LIKE IT'S ALWAYS NICE IF WE PUT OUT IT'S, IT'S LIKE JUNE'S TOO HOT, LIKE I SAID, AND MAY IS LIKE IFFY.
IT'S JUST, IT'S ONE OF THOSE EVENTS.
IT'S JUST GONNA BE TRICKY TO PLAN.
BUT I KNOW NEXT YEAR, LIKE WE'RE DEFINITIVELY MAY.
SO YEAH, EVERY MAY LOOKS FORWARD TO IT NO MATTER WHAT.
THE ONLY THING IS, THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO SAID, AND, AND, AND BILL WAS TALKING TO ME TOO, AND HE WAS SAYING LIKE, THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR THAT THE WEATHER HASN'T BEEN SO GREAT AND IT'S SUCH A GREAT EVENT, BUT WE STILL HAVE ALL THESE THAT SHOW UP.
SO IT'D BE NICE, LIKE IF LIKE YEAH, IT'S HOT, BUT JUNE IS KIND OF LIKE PEOPLE EXPECT IT TO BE HOT.
BUT, BUT YOU CAN'T PREDICT THE WEATHER EITHER EXCEPT FOR, YOU KNOW, IT IS, IT IS COOLER AND THAT'S LIKE KIND OF LIKE A, YOU KNOW, OUTDOOR CONCERT.
BUT LAST YEAR'S, JUNE IT WAS COOL IN THE MORNING, BUT THEN IT WAS BRUTAL DURING THE ACTUAL EVENT.
SO IT'S LIKE, IT'S ALWAYS A HIT OR MISS.
BUT, UM, FOR CAMPS WE HAVE CAMP ORIENTATION FOR STAFF TOMORROW, SO THAT'S BEING ALL DAY.
WE DID GET THREE MALE COUNSELORS LAST WEEK.
SO WE LIKE RUSHED THEM INTO THE PROCESS.
UM, LUCKILY I REACHED OUT TO A COUPLE OF OUR OTHER COUNSELORS AND THEY'RE LIKE, OH, WE CAN LOOK FOR, YOU CAN ASK SOME OF OUR GUY FRIENDS.
AND LUCKILY THEY WERE GOOD PICK, SO.
WAS MY ARE FILLED, ALL OF THEM ARE FILLED.
UM, WE HAVE TWO SITE SUPERVISORS AND ONE CAMP DIRECTOR AND ONE OF THEM, UM, PUT IT IN HER RESIGNATION ON MONDAY.
SO WE ARE JUST PREPARED, BOB'S PREPARED TO BE OUT THERE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN HE WAS ORIGINALLY AND WE'RE JUST GONNA BLEND A LITTLE BIT MORE AND MAKE TWO WITH IT.
[01:00:01]
NOT LOOKING TO TRY TO REPLACE THIS? NOT THIS POINT.IT WAS TOO MUCH AND WE JUST BROUGHT THESE OTHER THREE GUYS ON SUPER LAST MINUTE, SO IT WAS LIKE, WE'LL BE FINE.
UM, SO YEAH, THAT STARTS ON MONDAY SO IT IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS THE CAR SHOW.
UM, EVERYTHING IS IN PLACE AND READY TO GO THOUGH, SO FINGERS CROSSED.
UM, WE'RE, WE'RE PRETTY PREPARED.
WE STARTED PREPARING FOR CAMP AT THE END OF CAMP LAST YEAR, SO IT SHOULD BE GREAT.
LAST TIME I LOOKED AT THE, THE MINUTES.
THE ENROLLMENT WAS LOWER THAN YOU THOUGHT, BUT DID THAT PICK UP OR? YES.
SO THE ONLY ONE WE'RE STILL LOW ON IS OUR THEATER CAMP, BUT I PRESENTED THAT TO A LOT OF PEOPLE LAST NIGHT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S ALWAYS THE FIRST ONE TO GO TO.
YEAH, THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE WHAT THE DEAL IS THIS YEAR.
IF THERE WAS ONE SOMEWHERE ELSE THAT WAS THAT THE SAME WEEK.
UM, BUT WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT, WE DID PRESENT IT AT THE, UM, OH, SO THAT'S CONCERT LAST NIGHT AND WE'LL HAVE IT AGAIN.
AND THAT WAS PERFECT THEN TO, ARE THE OTHER CAMPS FILLED OR? FOR THE MOST PART, THEY'RE ABLE TO RUN.
THEY'VE MET THEIR MINIMUMS. THEY HAVE AT LEAST MET.
THESE WERE JUST THESE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT 'EM, BUT THEY WERE JUST OUTSTANDING ITEMS. MM-HMM.
THE MINUTES ARE ALWAYS ON MY LIKE YEAH.
I THINK YOU WERE SAYING YOU WERE GONNA BE DOING NEW SIGNAGE, BUT I DIDN'T REMEMBER IF THERE WAS SOMETHING SPECIFIC.
I HAVE TO MEET WITH OUR SOLICITOR.
UM, THE MINUTES ON THE WEBSITE, I APPRECIATE THE OFFER.
IT'S A GOVERNMENT SYSTEM AND THEY ONLY GIVE LIKE ANY DIRECTORS WHO HAVE BOARD MEETINGS THAT ACCESS TO DO IT.
BUT AS LONG AS I HAVE 'EM, LIKE I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I LOOK FOR THE MINUTES EVENTUALLY IN MY EMAIL.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE DID LIKE A MICROSOFT UPDATE, BUT I DID AND I LIKE CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.
SO TAYLOR'S PUTTING THEM ON THE DRIVE TOO, RIGHT? OR IS IT JUST EMAIL? I THINK THEY'RE IN THE DRIVE.
I KNOW TO BE, HONESTLY, I DUNNO, MY EMAIL TO LOOK AT.
AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, LIKE THE WAY THAT THE NEW SYSTEM IS, IS LIKE, I CAN'T ALWAYS FIND THE EXACT ATTACHMENT.
SO LIKE, IT'LL BE LIKE, HERE'S HIS EMAIL THAT SAYS LIKE, HERE ARE THE MID, HERE ARE THE MEETING MEDS, BUT I CAN'T FIND THE ATTACHMENT THAT WENT WITH IT.
SO IF SOMEONE HAS TIME AND CAN PUT THEM IN A PDF ON THE GOOGLE, UM, DRIVE, FOR ME THAT'S EASIER 'CAUSE I JUST DRAG IT RIGHT INTO WHERE THEY NEED TO GO.
IT'S WHEN THEY'RE IN WORD AND I HAVE TO REFORMAT IT AND MAKE SURE ALL THE MARGINS ARE THERE AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
I I I, MY OTHER BOARD, I, I TRIED TO PULL UP, UH, I TRIED TO PULL UP THE AGENDA.
AND IT'S PULLING UP ON MY OTHER BOARD.
YOU KNOW, I COULD LOOK WHEN I GET HOME, JUST SEE IF HE, IF HE IS AND IF HE'S NOT, WE COULD ASK HIM BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE HIM, HE WOULD HAVE HIM.
AND EVEN WE COULD EVEN ASK HIM, IS IT, HOW PROBLEMATIC IS IT TO, TO SAVE, TO SAVE HIM AS A PDF AND PUT THEM ON THE YEAH.
IT SHOULDN'T BE MORE THAN A COUPLE SECONDS FOR HIM TO DO.
BUT IF HE'S NOT DOING THAT, THAT WOULD BE SUPER HELPFUL INSTEAD OF ME SEARCHING THROUGH EMAILS, SHOULD FIND THEM.
UM, AND OUTSIDE OF THAT, UM, IT'S A LOT.
SO MINUTES ON THE GOOGLE ON GOOGLE DRIVE? YES.
I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING THAT WAS OVERLY EXCITING IN PROGRESS, BUT I THINK THAT'S GOOD.
OF COURSE, IF THERE'S THINGS THAT YOU THINK OF AND THERE'S UPDATES THAT YOU WANT, YOU CAN JUST REACH OUT TO ME.
UM, ONE THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT, AND UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE, BUT LIKE WE'RE SIX MONTHS INTO THIS YEAR AND JUST TO CHECK IN AND MAYBE WE'LL DO IT AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER, BUT HOW YOU FEEL THE STRUCTURE OF THE MEETINGS ARE GOING? SOMETIMES I, I FEEL LIKE I LEAVE AND I'M LIKE, HUH.
I FEEL LIKE SOON AND I GET ALL THE TALKING.
AND THEN I, I'M WONDERING, WE NOT CREATING ENOUGH OF AN ENVIRONMENT OR AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INPUT, BUT THERE'S A, LIKE, THERE'S A LOT TO BE SAID, BUT SO LIKE I JUST WANT TO LIKE RE-LOOK AT THE FORMAT IF IT'S NOT, OR GET INPUT WHETHER YOU GUYS THINK THAT YOU ARE INVITED OR HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO KIND OF MAKE COMMENTS.
'CAUSE WE ARE LIKE, I KNOW I GO SUPER FAST 'CAUSE SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE TOO, LIKE THERE'S SO MUCH INFORMATION THAT IS AN OVERLOAD AND THEN I'M LIKE, EVERYONE'S GETTING LIKE
[01:05:01]
BORED OR LIKE OVERWHELMED.SO I'M LIKE, WELL I REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE DOING THE MEETINGS BEFORE, BEFORE THEY TOOK A MILLION HOURS AND YOU NO.
AND YOU WERE LIKE, OH, I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE TALKING.
AND THE OTHER DAY I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT? NOW I THINK IT'S JUST, IT'S MOSTLY SUE AND I DOING ALL THE TALKING AND THAT'S FINE IF THE INFORMATION EXCHANGE IS OKAY, BUT I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY ON THE BOARD FEELS EMPOWERED YEAH.
I THINK THOSE OF US THAT ARE INQUISITIVE AND I THINK THERE'S, THERE'S PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY AND INVITATION FOR US TO JUMP IN.
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THE REASON THAT WE DON'T, WE'RE NOT AS ENGAGED IS BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE, YOU'RE SO CONCISE WITH, I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.
BUT YOU'RE SO CONCISE WITH, WITH YOU'VE THOUGHT IT THROUGH.
SO YOU'RE PRESENTING IT TO US WHEN IT'S ALREADY BEEN THOUGHT THROUGH.
SO ANY OF OUR QUESTIONS THAT WE MAY HAVE, YOU'VE ALREADY ADDRESSED.
AND I ALSO FEEL THAT YOU ALLOW US TO JUMP IN AND ASK THOSE QUESTIONS IF WE'RE OKAY.
CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT THIS? OR YOU COULD TELL US MORE ABOUT THAT.
THAT, AND YOU ANSWER 'EM RIGHT THEN AND THERE.
IT'S NOT LIKE, WAIT UNTIL LATER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
WELL I THINK YOU GUYS TEND TO BE LIKE, YOU'RE INQUISITIVE AND ENGAGED.
UM, SOME AND TAYLOR'S KIND OF BUSY.
UM, AND YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO, I, YOU KNOW, I'LL HAVE THIS BRIEF LITTLE CONVERSATION WHEN KEN AND BILL AND RICH.
'CAUSE I WANT THEM TO, TO FEEL, AND MAYBE THEY DON'T, THEY'RE NOT AS INQUISITIVE THAT MAYBE IT'S NOT THEIR PERSONALITY AND THAT'S FINE.
BUT I WANNA MAKE SURE THEY FEEL THAT THE OPPORTUNITY THERE IF THEY WANTED IT.
I KIND OF FEEL LIKE IF KEN HAS A QUESTION HE DOES.
I DON'T FEEL AS THE RICH HAS AS MANY.
I THINK HE'S PAYING ATTENTION.
BUT HE MAY JUST NOT HE'S TAKING IT IN.
ALL WELL, WELL AGAIN, IT IT IS JUST, IT'S DOING THE DUE DILIGENCE OF NO, WE APPRECIATE HOW, HOW DO YOU FEEL THE FORMAT? IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER? SO THAT'S ALWAYS ON THAT SAME NOTE, IF THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS THAT IN MY DEPARTMENT, LIKE ON MY STUFF THAT YOU'RE LIKE, I DON'T, WE DON'T REALLY NEED TO KNOW THIS.
OR LIKE, IF THERE'S MORE PERTINENT STUFF THAT YOU WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT, JUST HAVE IT WHEN LYNN SENDS OUT THE AGENDA OPTIONS.
'CAUSE THERE MIGHT BE STUFF I'M RUNNING THROUGH, YOU'RE LIKE, OH MY GOD, TALK ABOUT THIS.
EVERY GOT SEE SOMETIMES I LIKE THAT.
TELL US ABOUT THE GRANTS OR TELL US ABOUT LIKE, OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU'RE WORKING.
'CAUSE I ONLY GO THROUGH LIKE THE HIGHLIGHTED LIKE YEAH.
LIKE I DON'T REALLY GET INTO THE WEEDS ON LIKE, THE GRITS THAT WE HAVE OUT AND LIKE THINGS LIKE THAT, WHICH I CAN'T, LIKE COMMUNITY SETTING THINGS AND LIKE RIGHT.
IT'S, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE UP EIGHT HOURS 'CAUSE I COULD VERY EASILY.
'CAUSE I, I SOMETIMES IN, IN DRAFTING THE AGENDA AND LIKE LOOKING BACK AT MINUTES AND MY NOTES SAYING IT'S KIND OF FOLLOW UP ON SAME STUFF.
LIKE, IS THIS BECOMING TOO, AND, AND, BUT, AND HERE'S, THAT WAS GREAT YOU SAYING GRANTS THAT DIDN'T OCCUR TO ME, BUT, SO IF YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE AGENDA AND IF IT SEEMS LIKE, OH, SAME OLD, SAME OLD.
BECAUSE SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE THAT MM-HMM.
MAYBE THIS MEETING WILL BE OUR BRAINSTORMING MEETING.
SO I THINK, UM, ALONG THAT, ALONG THAT COMMENT, MAYBE ONE THING WE NEED IS SETTING GOALS.
WHAT ARE THE GOALS FOR OUR MEETING? YEAH.
WELL WE HAVE A MISSION STATEMENT.
WE HAVE OUR MISSION STATEMENT, BUT RIGHT.
LIKE, AND THAT, I GUESS MY QUE LIKE, THAT'S AN EXCELLENT, BECAUSE ONE THING WE NEED TO FIND OUT FROM YOU IS, IS YOUR BOARD DOING WHAT YOU NEED FROM US? YEAH.
THAT'S, THAT'S GREAT TO PUT IT IN THE FORM.
THAT'S A REALLY GOOD SENTENCE.
UM, I KIND OF FEEL LIKE OUR GOAL THIS YEAR HAD MORE TO DO WITH HAVING A SIGNATURE EVENT.
AND I THINK THAT WE ARE LEADING THAT.
I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, MULTIPLE GOALS.
NOT JUST HAVING THAT SIGNATURE EVENT.
THAT WAS SOMETHING WE WORKED TOWARDS THIS YEAR.
THERE SHOULD BE PROBABLY OTHER THINGS THAT WE YEAH.
BUT WE'VE HAD LIKE PARK WATCH WAS ONE THING THAT WE INSTITUTED AND, AND I THINK THAT'S GOING WELL BECAUSE WE'RE, IT'S, IT'S ALSO GETTING INPUT, UM, THAT OUR SIGNATURE EVENT.
BUT MAYBE THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS.
WELL, AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, I FEEL AS THOUGH THE MEETINGS ARE GOING BE 90% EVENTS.
MAYBE THE TIME WHERE WE TALK ABOUT, TALK ABOUT THE
[01:10:01]
IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH.AND I THINK WE HAVE SO MANY EVENTS.
I'VE NEVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH A COMMITTEE THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO REALLY SEE WHAT ALL THE EVENTS ARE.
DO WE HAVE A NORMAL AMOUNT OF EVENTS THAT A, THAT A COMMUNITY HAS? OR ARE THEY ABOVE THE AVERAGE? I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T THINK THE ONE, I DON'T THINK, UM, THE PARKS DEPARTMENT AND MANY OTHER PLACES HANDLE AS MANY AS WE DO.
I THINK A LOT OF THEM HAVE VERY SPECIFIC, LIKE THERE'S CERTAIN TOWNSHIPS THAT HAVE EVENT PEOPLE.
AND IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.
LIKE PARKS HANDLE PARKS, WE HANDLE EVERYTHING.
SO WE'RE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN A LOT OF PEOPLE.
THE STRUCTURE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
BUT FOR THE SIZE OF OUR TOWNSHIP, I THINK, I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF EVENTS AND GOOD EVENTS FOR THE SIZE OF OUR PARKS AND REC PEOPLE.
BUT, BUT I DON'T, IT'S OVERWHELMING.
SO, UM, THAT'S NOR NOR AM I THE KIND OF PERSON IN EITHER OF MY TEAM TO SAY LIKE, WE NEED TO CUT SO MANY THINGS OUT.
ESPECIALLY THINGS THAT PEOPLE REALLY LOVE.
WELL, LIKE, WE'RE NOW POSSIBLY DOING A FIVE KI SAW THAT
BUT I WAS LIKE, YOU CAME TO ME SEEING IF THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA AND TELLING ME WE WERE GONNA DO IT.
YOU'D EVEN PUT MY NAME IN THERE
SO IT'S NOT JUST A POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT THING.
AND THAT'S WHERE I THINK LIKE SOMETIMES THINGS GET LEFT OUT IS MAJORITY OF THINGS ARE A PARK AND REC THING AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GO IN AND DO THEM AND SET THEM UP AND DO THE LOGISTICS AND EVERYTHING.
AND THEY'RE SEEN AS NOT PARK AND REC THINGS.
AND I THINK THAT'S THE HARD PART IS THAT WE HAVE OUR HAND IN EVERYTHING, BUT IT'S NOT, I AGREE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I, I THINK EVERYTHING, LIKE IF IT, I LOVE ALL MY COUNTERPARTS AND WE TOGETHER, IF IT FALLS INTO WHAT CAN CONCEIVABLY BE CONSIDERED IT IS UTILIZING A CAR OR YOU UTILIZING YOUR EXPERTISE, THEN IT, IT, THE WORK IS DUMPED THERE, BUT THE ACCOLADES MM-HMM.
AND WHO AND WHO IS PROMOTING IT? IT IS, IT IS THE, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT GETTING TO THE PARKS.
AND I THINK, AND THAT'S THROUGHOUT OUR OWN, LIKE IT'S, THAT'S A CULTURE.
LIKE, JUST LIKE I WILL FOREVER BE FRUSTRATED WITH THE FACT THAT WHEN WE GOT THE PRPS AWARD, IT NEVER MADE IT INTO THE NEWSLETTER UNTIL MONTHS AND MONTHS LATER.
THAT WAS NEVER DONE BEFORE OTHER COMMUNITIES.
'CAUSE I WOULD'VE BEEN FRONT, I TALKED TO THEM FRONT PAGE, THEY WOULD HAVE IT.
THEY WOULD'VE HAD THE DIRECTOR SHAKING YOUR HAND, THE PLAQUE, LOOK WHAT LOOK WHAT YOUR PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT HAS ACCOMPLISHED.
IT WAS A MISSED OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW.
AND, AND LIKE I LEARNED IN THOSE MEETINGS TOO, UH, A SUBSTANTIAL GOOD PARKS AND REC LEADS TO A, LIKE BETTER COMMUNITIES, HIGHER TAXES, HIGHER, LIKE PEOPLE CHOOSE PROPERTY VALUE, POVERTY VALUE.
SORRY, I COULDN'T THINK OF THE WORD.
AND I, THAT THAT WILL PROBABLY GO DOWN IN MY LIKE LOW POINT FOR BEING PART OF THE PARKS AND REC BOARD THAT THAT WAS SO NOT EVEN RECOGNIZED.
YOU KNOW, AND WE DON'T DO THIS FOR THE REC RECOGNITION WE DO BECAUSE WE LOVE THIS A HUNDRED PERCENT.
NO, BUT THE REC THE RECOGNITION IMPACTS THE COMMUNITY.
IT DOES LIKE, LIKE OUR GUIDING LIGHT AND LIKE, THIS IS WHAT I ALWAYS THINK.
WHAT ARE WE DOING TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY, THE EVENTS? HOW IS IT SERVING THE COMMUNITY, GETTING THE AWARD? HOW IS THIS SERVING THE COMMUNITY? AND IT DOES, IT REALLY DOES.
BECAUSE IT IS, IT'S SHOWING THAT YOU, THAT YOU HAVE A REALLY GOOD TOWNSHIP.
SO IT IS NOT, YOU KNOW, IT ALWAYS FEELS GOOD TO GET A PAT ON YOUR BACK, BUT IT, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT THE GUIDING LIGHT.
THAT'S JUST AN ADDED LITTLE BONUS TO FEEL VALUED.
IT'S LIKE THAT WOMAN FROM POTSGROVE.
WHO SAW, I MEAN, HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE WOULD COME INTO THE TOWNSHIP AND GO, THIS IS A REALLY NEAT PLACE.
YOU KNOW, OR IT'S LIKE, NOW I'M GOING TO GO TO LUNCH HERE AND NOW I'M GOING TO GO HERE.
AND IT'S, IT'S A LOT OF THAT STUFF.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW, AND I DID BRAG ABOUT THE AWARD TOO.
AND IF YOU WANNA CARRY IT AROUND ON YOUR PARENTS IN MY OFFICE, I, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE IMPACT A OR EVEN WORK TO GET A CULTURE CHANGE THAT HAS TO HAPPEN INSIDE.
BUT THERE'S THINGS, THERE'S THINGS WE CAN DO.
AND NOW IN ALL FAIRNESS, YOU BEING ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OH MY, I TALK ABOUT PARKS AND REC ALL THE TIME.
[01:15:01]
TIRED OF HEARING ME TALK ABOUT PARKS.BUT THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TOO.
I DO, I PUSH WE STILL BEING RECORDED.
AND I, I SAW NEW DEVELOPMENTS COMING IN, LIKE THE PARKS ARE GONNA BE OVERCROWDED.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO EXPAND AND IT'S GONNA HAVE TO NOTICED THERE A LOT ON.
SO, AND, AND THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
PEOPLE TEND TO SAY MORE ABOUT A COMPLAINT THAN THEY DO WITHOUT A POSITIVE YEAH.
BUT YOU KNOW, IF IT'S, IF YOU'RE NOT HEARING THAT MUCH AND PEOPLE ARE, THE POSITIVE IS THE PARTICIPATION.
IF THEY'RE STILL COMING, IF THEY'RE COMING, THEY'RE COMING AND THEY'RE COMING AGAIN AND AGAIN AND THEY'RE TELLING FRIENDS AND THEN WE BUILD UPON THAT EVENT THAT'S, THAT'S THAT YOU'RE ALWAYS, IT'S JUST SO MUCH EASIER TO COMPLAIN EVEN IN THIS, IN THIS ROOM.
LIKE WE COULD SAY, OH THAT WAS GREAT, THAT WAS GREAT.
OH BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, MAYBE WE COULD DO THIS.
SOMETIMES IT, IT IS, YOU KNOW, MIGHT STING A LITTLE, BUT IT'S, IT'S JUST BECAUSE WE CARE AND WANT THE NEXT EVENT TO BE, YOU KNOW, BUT NOT MUCH BETTER.
SO, WELL REALLY QUICK BEFORE WE PART, I WANT TO JUST REALLY, I DO, I'M GONNA GIVE YOU YOUR SHIRTS.
UM, BUT I ALSO, AGAIN, I'M SORRY, MY SCREEN IS REALLY WEIRD.
TELL ME IF ANYBODY CAN SEE ANYTHING ON THERE.
THE SCREEN AND THE ANGLE OF THE SCREEN BACK.
SO RIGHT HERE? NO, THIS IS TAKEN IN MARCH.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE OUR GUYS ARE OUT, IF YOU SEE OUR TRUCKS RIGHT THERE.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY PLANTING THE OTHER TREE.
THIS IS NOT A GREAT PICTURE 'CAUSE IT IS MARCH AND NOTHING WAS BLOOMED YET.
BUT THEY'RE, IF YOU WALK OUT THERE RIGHT NOW, THERE'S THE DOG WASTE STATION ON THE CORNER.
AND THERE'S A BIG BEAUTIFUL TREE.
THERE'S TWO BEHIND IT THAT ARE BRANDY NEW.
THOSE ARE BOTH OUR, FOR OUR PARK BOARD MEMORIAL TREES.
AND THEN THERE'S A BIGGER TREE BEHIND 'EM.
LIKE THERE'S, THEY'RE BOOKENDED BY BIGGER TREES.
AND THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL FIVE, I FORGET WHAT WE CALL THEM, SUGAR MAPLES.
SO THEY'LL BE GREEN AND THEN THEY'LL START FADE.
THEY'LL TURN INTO LIKE RAINBOWS.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY MENTION IT.
I DIDN'T REALLY START LOOKING FOR THEM UNTIL I'D ALREADY DID MY LITTLE CIRCLE OVER THERE.
AND THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE NOT, IT'S LIKE CLOSED.
SO PEOPLE DON'T GO OVER THERE OFTEN.
BUT IT IS, IF YOU SEE THAT DOG WAY STATION LOOK DOWN.
SO PLAYGROUNDS ON YOUR LEFT AND THIS ROAD IS ON THE PARKING LOT'S ON YOUR RIGHT.
IF YOU LOOK STRAIGHT DOWN, THERE'S TWO NEWBIE TREES AND THOSE ARE THE TWO TREES.
YOU PUT THEM TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAD A LOGISTICS TYPE PERSON ON THE BOARD, ON OUR BOARD AT SOME POINT TO MAP THEM, WE USED TO DO THAT.
WOULD, THAT WOULD BE A PROJECT THAT'S LIKE A WHOLE NEW GI IS HAVE LIKE A GI IS WHERE THEY WOULD JUST LIKE DO A R LIKE A GREAT LINUX.
I'M SO TECHNOLOGICAL
SO YOU GO TO A PARK AND EACH PARK YOU COULD SCAN AND FIND OUT WHAT MEMORIAL TREES ARE THERE.
OR EVEN LIKE IF SOMEONE CALLED US AND THEY'RE LIKE, HEY WE, WE PUT A TREE IN OUR AVENTION AT THIS LOCATION, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS.
LIKE THAT WOULD BE A GREAT PROJECT.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY IN OUR, BUT WE MAY KNOW SOMEBODY WHO WOULD VOLUNTEER TO DO THAT.
DO WE HAVE MEMORIAL BENCHES? YES.
SO SAME THING, WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THOSE ARE.
THAT COULD MAYBE BE ONE OF OUR LIKE 20, 25.
I CAN TELL YOU WHERE THE BENCHES ARE.
SO I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOT THAT.
UM, HOW MANY BENCHES ARE THERE? OH MY GOSH.
THERE'S 40, 50 AT THE MINIMUM.
I'VE SEEN QUITE A FEW OF THEM.
AND SOME OF THEM, LIKE WE'VE GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE THEY'RE SO EXPENSIVE NOW.
LIKE WE'RE, WE'VE ALREADY PUT, WE HAD SOME EXTRA, WE BUY THEM IN BULK SO WE HAVE THEM READY TO GO AND WE STARTED JUST PUTTING THEM OUT.
'CAUSE WE'RE GETTING, WE'RE LOSING PLOTS TO PUT THEM.
'CAUSE THE BENCHES HAVE TO BE VERY, THEY HAVE TO BE FLAT, THEY HAVE TO BE, UM, CEMENTED INTO THE GROUND.
UM, AND SO MANY PEOPLE WANT THE BENCH WITH THE TREE BEHIND IT.
AND WE JUST DON'T HAVE AS MUCH FLAT GROUND AS PEOPLE.
SO WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF, WE'RE NOT REALLY GIVING PEOPLE OPTIONS OF WHERE THEY WOULD LIKE TO PUT IT.
YOU CAN GIVE US A PARK AND WE'LL TELL YOU LIKE OF TWO OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE.
LIKE YOU NO LONGER, YOU CAN'T TELL ME YOU WANT IT HERE.
BUT SEE SOMETHING, HAVING SOMETHING LIKE THAT EXACTLY.
JOSH AND I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE, BUT RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR, LIKE, YOU KNOW HOW EAGLE SCOUT SHE WAS RIGHT BEHIND IT? MM-HMM.
I GO DOWN THERE, BUT I KNOW MINUTE IF YOU KNOW ANY PERSON,
[01:20:01]
IS IT EVEN CALLED SAAND THEY LIKE, THEY DO CALL AND LOOK FOR THINGS.
I'M LIKE, I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT.
SO YEAH, I FEEL LIKE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MY SON COULD DO.
JUST HE'S DONE STUFF LIKE THAT.
THE ONLY PROBLEM ONCE YOU KNOW IT, YEAH.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT'S GETTING READY FOR HIS WEDDING.
THERE'S A GUY IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I THINK HE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT AND HE, I'M NOT REALLY FRIENDS.
I DON'T, I'M NOT FRIENDS WITH HIM.
I JUST SEE HIM WALKING HIS DOG.
BUT, UM, BUT YOU JUST TELL THAT HE'S LIKE A WELL I KNOW THAT HE, I KNOW HE DID LIKE, LIKE HE WAS BIG INTO LOGISTICS AND HE MAY BE RETIRING.
SO I THINK IF WE START THINKING ABOUT THIS, MAYBE, YOU KNOW, YOU PUT IT OUT IN THE ATMOSPHERE, YOU KNOW, AND MAYBE SOMETHING COMES UP.
I THINK THAT'D BE A GREAT PROJECT.
AND SO THE MEETING IS OFFICIALLY ADJOURNED.
THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT ON A THURSDAY.
