THAT ONE GOT FINISHED YESTERDAY.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY PHOTOS OR PICTURES OF THEIR PHONE OR ANYTHING? NO.
I HAVE ONE OF THEM PUTTING IT UP.
I WAS DRIVING TOO FAST THIS MORNING.
I KIND OF THOUGHT IT WAS, I GENERATED AT FIRST WHEN I SAW IT FOR EVERYONE WATCHING ONLINE.
EVANGELINE IS WITH THE SRE ARTS ALLIANCE AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THIS, KEEPING SRE BEAUTIFUL.
SO THE PICTURES OF THE SWITCH HOUSE ONE, DON'T DO IT JUSTICE, BUT THERE'S OH, THAT'S COOL.
THEY ENLARGED IT KIND OF TOO MUCH.
YEAH, THAT'S THE ONE THAT WAS GREAT.
I PULLED UP ON IT AND I THOUGHT, OH MY GOODNESS.
I WAS JUST TELLING TIFFANY, UM, REMEMBER A FEW, MAYBE A FEW YEARS AGO, KATIE STARTED THEIRS AND, UM, SOMEBODY HAD COMMENTED SOMETHING UGLY ABOUT, DIDN'T, WASN'T SCHER SUPPOSED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS? AND KATIE'S LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL.
AND THEN WHEN I SAW THAT, WHEN I SAW KATIE FOSTER HER LITTLE LONG, WHEN I SAW THIS ONE, I THOUGHT WE HAVE, I DON'T KNOW WHY THOSE WOULDN'T BE STANDARD EVERYWHERE.
I TOOK A PICTURE OF THIS ONE DRIVING BY.
RAMONA'S BEEN SPEARHEADING THAT FOR MANY YEARS NOW.
SO 2011, I, I BROUGHT THAT TO CJ SNIPES, OUR CITY MANAGER IN 2011.
11 THE SAME AGE AS MY CHILDREN.
CAN WE HAVE SOMEBODY TAKE PICTURES AND SEND THEM TO US? DONE IN THE CITY STAFF? THANK YOU.
SO THAT WAY WE CAN PUT ON MY FACEBOOK.
I WAS VERY EXCITED WHEN I SAW THEM INSTALLING THAT.
I DON'T BELIEVE I WAS CRACKING UP.
ANYBODY ELSE? ANY OTHER COMMENTS? NO.
[Business - A]
ON TO NUMBER FOUR.BUSINESS APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE MEETINGS HELD ON SEPTEMBER 12TH, 2025.
I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE MINUTES CODE.
CITY COUNCIL UPDATE PER, UH, ALL ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
CITY COUNCIL UPDATE PROVIDED BY LIAISON RICHARD RUSSELL, WHICH APPEARS TO BE ABSENT.
DO YOU WANT SHE SHE'S GOOD ON THAT.
[Business - C (Part 1 of 2)]
UH, PARKS DEVELOPMENT UPDATES.SO THE BOX AT RE BEND BY THE HIGH SCHOOL AND 10 93 AND POLO HAVE BOTH BEEN WRAPPED.
SO WE HAVE ONE MORE GOING UP TODAY.
AND THEN, WHICH IS THAT, UH, DALE, DALE WEBB AT YEAH.
AND THEN THE OTHERS WILL BE DONE AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION IS FINISHED.
UH, AND I KNOW I SPOKE TOINE LAST NIGHT.
THE ARTISTS HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED OR PAID BY THE TIME WE PUT THESE UP.
WE MIGHT, AS FAR I HAVEN'T HEARD.
I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW AT ALL.
WE HAVEN'T EVEN INFORMED THEM THAT THEY WON AND THEY'RE JUST GONNA SEE THEM ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
AND I'VE ALSO EMAILED SOME OF THEM THE BOXES THAT ARE MORE CURRENTLY GOING UP.
I DO EMAIL THE ARTIST AND I DO LET THEM KNOW THAT.
COPY OF INE ON THAT BECAUSE SHE'S THE ONE THAT GOT THE ARTIST AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW.
SO WE PROBABLY NEED TO COPY HER ON THAT.
THE ARTISTS HAVE, THEY'VE BEEN PAID.
THEY HAVE, THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN
WHAT I CAN DO IS FIND OUT WHERE IT'S,
[00:05:01]
BUT ALL THE INFORMATION FOR THEM BE PAID.SO IT'S BEEN REQUESTED, SO HE'S GOTTA FIND OUT THE MONEY'S EXTERIOR.
UM, YOU CAN, YOU CAN APPROACH THE BENCH.
YOU CAN COME SPEAK UP HERE BECAUSE IT'S BEING RECORDED, EVANGELINE.
SO THE PEOPLE WATCHING CAN'T SEE YOU.
SO IF YOU'LL COME UP HERE, THEN THEY CAN HEAR YOU.
IS THIS FILM TOO AS WELL? YEAH.
DO I PUSH, I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THERE IS GOING TO BE ANY KIND OF UNVEILING OR, UM, CEREMONY.
CEREMONY OF, I MEAN, I'M, I'M NOT EXPECTING A BIG TO DO, BUT I THINK THE ARTISTS WOULD APPRECIATE AN UNVEILING.
I WOULD APPRECIATE AN UNVEILING.
AND IF YOU HAVE PERMISSION, OR IF I HAVE PERMISSION TO DO SOMETHING THROUGH THE SHORE ARTS ALLIANCE MM-HMM
THERE, THERE WOULD, THERE WILL BE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS, I'M SURE.
SO WE'LL PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER WITH THAT.
BUT AN ACTUAL, ACTUAL IN PERSON.
I THINK SHE'S ASKING IF SHE CAN DO LIKE, SOME SORT OF UNVEILING, UM, IF SHE HAS RIGHTS ON BEHALF OF THE FULL ARTS ALLIANCE.
ALLIANCE, JUST A CEREMONY OF SOMETIMES SAYING, HEY, IT'S DONE.
YEAH, WE CAN, WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT.
I THINK WE SHOULD, WE CAN SHARE THAT WITH, WITH THE WHOLE COMMUNITY AND LET THEM KNOW THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, I THINK OBVIOUSLY YOU NEED TO BE A PART OF IT.
HAVE LIKE A DRAPE IT OVER AND GO, YEAH, DARREN.
THAT'S WHAT I HAVE ENVISIONED.
I MEAN, AND MATTHEW SAID HE WAS GONNA DO DRONE FOOTAGE, SO WE COULD PUT DRONE FOOTAGE UP ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA.
IT WAS WORTH ALL THE HEARTACHE, RIGHT? IT WAS.
I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WAS SO DIFFICULT.
YEAH, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE, GREAT IDEA.
ANY UPDATES ON THAT PLEASE? SO, GOOD NEWS, WE GOT THE CONCRETE SITUATION RESOLVED.
DR. HORTON, DR. HORTON IS COVERING THE COST AND THEY SHOULD BE FINISHING THOSE TODAY.
UH, ONE OF THE BENCHES UNDERNEATH THE CONCESSION AREA WAS NOT, UH, DIDN'T HAVE A DA SEATING.
SO WE REMOVED THAT ONE AND THEY'RE GONNA PROVIDE THAT.
SO WHEN YOU SAY RESOLVED, WHAT, WHAT ALL DID, WHAT DID THEY DO TO FIX IT? SO THEY, THEY SANDED, THEY GRINDED IT DOWN AND THEN THEY'RE DOING THE APO, THE EPOXY THROUGH THE CRACKS.
UHHUH, AND THEN THE COOL DECK, THE COOL.
HOW DOES THE, AND THEY'RE GONNA PAINT IT, THE GRASS LOOK, IS IT, DO WE KNOW A USED BY DATE? SO I TALKED TO ABRAHAM THIS MORNING.
WE'RE GONNA SEE IF WE CAN GO AHEAD AND, UH, LET HTX PLANT GRASS DO A, A WINTER RYE SEEDING.
SO THAT, BUT IT WAS HYDRO MULCHED, RIGHT? IT WAS SO THAT'S GROWING.
IF IT WAS A BERMUDA, IT, IT WON'T GROW TOO MUCH IN THE WINTER.
SO WE'RE GONNA SEE IF WE CAN DO AN OVERSEEING OF THE WINTER, THE RYE.
HAVE YOU ALREADY CONTACTED, UH, HTX TO KIND OF GET THAT GOING OR SHOULD WE, THEY'RE READY.
THEY'RE JUST NEED OUR APPROVAL, SO.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET THE APPROVAL? DO Y'ALL THINK I I'LL REACH OUT TO D HORT TODAY JUST TO MAKE SURE.
SO YOU GOTTA GET APPROVAL FROM D HORTON TO BE ABLE TO DO THE ADDRESS.
I JUST ASSUMED 'CAUSE THEY'RE OVER IT.
I, I DON'T SEE IT BEING AN ISSUE.
JUST WANT TO PASS AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE ALL LIKE, NO, I UNDERSTAND.
WHEN DO WE EVENTUALLY, WHEN DO WE EVENTUALLY TAKE CONTROL OF THE FIELDS AND VERY SOON THEY OUT.
SO WE ARE LOOKING AT, UH, VERY SOON, WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS THAT WE WOULD BE RECEIVING THAT, UM, FROM DR. HORTON PASSING IT OVER.
SO, AND I THINK WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING TO START PLANNING THAT GRAND OPENING AS WELL.
SO BY THE NEXT MEETING WE SHOULD HAVE SOME DATES FOR Y'ALL THAT WHEN WE'LL DO THE GRAND OPENING.
AND I THINK WE'RE COORDINATING ALREADY WITH, UH, ABRAHAM TO START MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS IN LINE SO WE HAVE A LARGER GRAND OPENING.
WE DEFINITELY WANT TO SHOWCASE THIS AS A LARGE PROJECT FOR RE AWESOME.
YEAH, IT'S, IT'S LOOKING REALLY, REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
I DRIVE PAST THERE ALL THE TIME.
I THINK IT WOULD BE JUST REALLY AWESOME IF WE COULD GET MORE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.
MAYBE HAVE SOME SOCCER PLAYERS FROM HTX THERE, HAVE SOME OF THE KIDS THERE.
MAYBE PLAN IT DURING A TIME THAT'S NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF SCHOOL.
'CAUSE THAT TENDS TO BE WHEN WE PLAN ALL THESE SO THAT THE KIDS COULD ACTUALLY BE THERE, I THINK WOULD BE AMAZING.
ONCE WE GET A SOLID DATE, THAT'S, WE'LL DEFINITELY PASS IT ALONG TO Y'ALL AND THEN START PROMOTING IT SO THAT WE HAVE AS MANY PEOPLE THERE AND HAVE IT AS BUILT UP AS IT SHOULD BE OUT ONCE YOU GET A DATE.
TRY DO SCHOOLS DURING SESSION.
SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY BRING IT THE STUDENTS AND STUFF, NOT THROUGH THE ENTIRETY OF THE ENTIRE, BUT SPECIFIC PLACES.
YOU HAVE IRRIGATION ON THE LARGE FIELDS, RIGHT?
[00:10:01]
ON THE MAIN FIELD, YES.YEAH, I KNOW WHEN WE WERE, YOU KNOW, HELPING TO DESIGN SOME OF THIS, WE HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LARGER FIELD LIGHTS.
UM, ARE THOSE LARGER FIELD LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME OR ARE THEY ON ONLY WHEN GAMES ARE PLAYED? OR WHAT, WHAT DO THOSE LARGER LIGHTS, LIGHTS ON THE LARGE, THE ADULT SIZE FIELD LOOK LIKE? SO THE, THERE'S A SWITCH IN THE CONCESSION BUILDING.
WE JUST KIND OF BEEN DECIDING WHO IS GOING TO HAVE CONTROL OF THAT.
WE ASSUME HTX WILL HAVE STAFF THAT WILL, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE OUR STAFF AT 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.
AND I FIGURED AS SUCH, I DROVE BY THE OTHER NIGHT AND IT WAS ON PRETTY LATE AND I WAS LIKE, OH, I HOPE FOR THE, THE RESIDENTS THAT THEY GET SOME, SOME REPRIEVE AT SOME POINT THAT THOSE LIGHTS GET SHUT OFF.
SO THAT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN THE GAMES ARE YEAH.
AND I'M SURE THEY'RE PROBABLY TESTING SOME STUFF AND JUST MAKING SURE EVERYTHING'S WORKING.
BUT IT WAS LIKE ABOUT 10 O'CLOCK AND THEY WERE STILL ON.
AND I JUST THOUGHT IT'D BE NICE, UH, THAT IF WE COULD SHUT THOSE OFF WHEN WE'RE NOT USING IT.
WHOEVER'S PLAYING WOULD THEN HAVE TO SHUT IT OFF AT THE END OF THE NIGHT.
DO YOU HAVE YOUR KEYS?
UM, OKAY, SO WE GOT THE GRASS, WE GOT THE CONCESSION CONCRETE FIXED.
UH, THE GOALS ARE THE GOALS UP.
SO A ABRA IS WORKING ON PURCHASING GOALS TODAY.
I THINK HE'S GOING THAT'S WE SPEAK GETTING ORDER OUT.
SO I MISSED LAST MEETING, BUT I THOUGHT THE GOALS WERE ALREADY PURCHASED, WEREN'T THEY? WASN'T THAT A WHOLE LIKE, CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD ABOUT THE GOALS? THAT'S WHAT WE WENT KIND OF BACK AND FORTH ON TOO IN, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK WE EVER, I DON'T REMEMBER THAT WEREN'T A PART OF THE PROJECT.
SO WE WERE DEBATING PERMANENT GOALS VERSUS I REMEMBER THAT PART.
THERE'S A LOT OF TALK ABOUT THE GOALS.
THERE'S A LOT OF TALK ABOUT THE GOALS AND THEM BEING MOVABLE, RIGHT? BECAUSE THEY'RE MOVABLE.
IT'S HTX HAS INDICATED THEY YES.
YES, THEY HAVE, THEY NEED TO BE MOVABLE BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE CAN UTILIZE THOSE SKILLS OTHER THAN JUST SOCCER.
I THOUGHT THEY WANTED TO ANCHOR LACROSSE.
REMEMBER? I THINK THEY WERE WANTING TO ANCHOR 'EM AND WE WERE LIKE MOVABLE.
THEY DID BECAUSE OF A SAFETY WE TALKED ABOUT 'CAUSE OF A SAFETY ISSUE.
BUT THEY THEY'LL STILL BE ANCHORED.
THEY'RE NOT ANCHORED, BUT YOU CAN MOVE 'EM.
I MEAN 'CAUSE LACROSSE AND OTHER THINGS, OTHER SPORTS POTENTIALLY COULD PROBABLY WHATEVER.
I THOUGHT THEY WERE ALREADY ORDERED, SO THE FACT THAT THEY WEREN'T IS KIND OF A HAPPY SURPRISE.
BUT I'M HAPPY WE'RE GETTING THEM ORDERED.
SO, UH, GREAT UPDATE ON, UH, EAGLE LANDING.
WE ARE STILL TARGETING SPRING THAT THESE FIELDS ARE GONNA BE OPEN.
HTX IS GONNA BE ABLE TO USE THEM SPRING.
WHEN WE GET THE, THE RYE PLANTED, WE'LL GET GRASS IN 60 TO 90 DAYS.
YOU CAN UM, PROBABLY EARLY, A LITTLE EARLIER THAN THE RYE WILL GROW FAST.
SO WHAT'S THE TARGET THAT IN A PERFECT WORLD, THE FIELDS WOULD BE OPEN BY X? CAN I ASK, WHEN IS A TYPICAL SOCCER SEASON? GOD PLAYED LIFE? WELL, LIKE COMPETITIVE FOR THOSE CLUB.
THEY'RE KIND OF ALMOST YEAR ROUND.
SO, BUT NORMAL SOCCER SEASON, LIKE HIGH SCHOOL, IT STARTS LIKE LATE WINTER.
SO, BUT THE CLUB, THEY COME JUST GO ALL AROUND.
WELL IT MIGHT JUST BE GOOD TO REACH OUT TO HTX AND SAY, HEY OPERATIONALLY, WHEN ARE WE TRYING TO TARGET THESE FIELDS? BEING ABLE TO BE USED JUST SO THAT WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.
AND THEN THAT WAY WHEN NEIGHBORS, FRIENDS, FAMILY ASK LIKE, WHEN CAN WE SEE OUR KIDS PLAYING ON THESE FIELDS? WE CAN SAY MARCH OR THINK MARCH.
SO WHY DON'T WE SHOOT FOR LIKE A GRAND OPENING AT THE END OF FEBRUARY? I THINK, I THINK WE'RE EVEN AIMING THAT MIGHT BE SOONER OR YEAH.
WELL, YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO GO OUT THERE IF WE'RE NOT READY FOR 'EM TO GO OUT THERE.
WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S SQUARED AWAY AND WE CAN KIND OF PRESENT IT TO Y'ALL ONCE WE'RE LOOKING AT, IT'D BE GREAT TO SEE SOME GRASS.
SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT MORE LIKE A RIBBON CUTTING SOON AND THEN A A GRAND OPENING AS WELL WHEN IT'S NO, WE'VE ALREADY DONE A RIBBON CUTTING, RIGHT? YEP.
WHEN WE DID A GROUND GROUNDBREAKING GROUND, WE DID GROUND GROUNDBREAKING.
WE DON'T HAVE TO DO A
ONCE THE GRASS IS ACTUALLY TAKEN ROOT AND ALL THAT KINDA GOOD STUFF, IT STARTS TO LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE TO LOOK GREEN OUT THERE.
AND MATTHEW, WHO CHECKS THE FIELD? I MEAN, IS IT CHECKED DAILY FOR, FOR DAMAGE OR HOW WILL THAT WORK? BECAUSE IF WE HAVE THE PUBLIC PLAYING ON IT TOO, YOU KNOW, KNOW HTX, I'M SURE THEY'LL BE RESPONSIBLE ABOUT FILLING IN DIVOTS OR WHATEVER.
BUT WHEN WE HAVE THE PUBLIC CLEAN ON IT, HOW, HOW DOES THAT WORK? IS IT ABRAM THAT'S JUST GONNA HAVE TO DRIVE BY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND CHECK
[00:15:01]
ON IT? I I ASSUME IT'LL BE ABRAM AND HIS, HIS STAFF.BUT HT X WILL OUT BE OUT THERE AS WELL ALMOST EVERY DAY.
THEY'RE GONNA SEE IT EVERY DAY.
THEY'RE GONNA TAKE CARE OF THE MAINTENANCE ON THEIR FIELDS.
THEY SHOULD BE HANDLING ALL THAT, ALL THE FIELDS OR THEIR THEIR FIELDS.
OH, AND WE DON'T, WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM BASICALLY.
THEY WANTED FULL RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE TO MAINTAIN EVERYTHING.
THAT WAS THE ONLY REASON WHY WE WANTED, YOU KNOW, LIKE THAT WAS THE MAIN REASON, REASON WE WANTED THEM VERSUS THE SMALLER LEAGUE.
'CAUSE WE'RE LIKE, IT'S A LOT, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED TO HAVE A FULL STAFF TO BE, TO DO ALL THAT STUFF.
PRIMROSE PARK, PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE UPDATES ON THAT PLEASE.
SO PAVING IS STILL IN PROGRESS.
SIDEWALKS, UH, THE FIELDS ARE STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE.
THEY BROUGHT IN THE INFIELD DIRT.
LOOKING LIKE BASEBALL FIELDS NOW.
UH, DUGOUT FOOTINGS HAVE BEEN POURED.
ALL THE FIELD LIGHTING HAS BEEN INSTALLED.
UM, TREES HAVE BEEN PLANTED IN THE PARKING LOT.
UH, SO THOSE ARE HAVE SOME SHADE, HAVE SOME, SOME SHADE.
UM, STILL WAITING ON CENTER POINT FOR THEIR PERMANENT ELECTRICAL METER TO BE INSTALLED.
SO, UH, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A DATE ON THAT JUST TO KIND OF, WE JUST KEEP FOLLOWING UP, KEEP KIND OF BUGGING THEM TO GET PERMANENT POWER TO THE PART.
UM, THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT DRONE FOOTAGE TOO.
AND THAT WAS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE EVEN DRIVING BACK THERE, YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE ALL THAT.
IT'S TOUGH TO SEE THE, THE FIELDS THEMSELVES LOOKING, YOU KNOW, LEVEL WITH IT.
SO IT IS, THEY'RE REALLY STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE.
SO, UM, QUESTIONS I WAS GONNA SAY, WHAT PIECES ARE WE MISSING FROM THE FIELDS? LIKE BLEACHERS COVER FOR THE BLEACHERS? UM, ANY OF THE, THE, THE BATTING CAGES, THE WARMUP AREAS.
I KNOW I WASN'T AT THE LAST MEETING, BUT THE MEETING BEFORE THAT THERE WAS CONVERSATION ABOUT SOME THINGS NOT MAKING IT INTO THE BUDGET.
SO I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT'S STILL LEFT THAT IS NOT COVERED BY BUDGET AND IF THAT COULD BE POTENTIALLY COVERED WITH BOND DOLLARS OR IF THOSE ARE GONNA BE THE ITEMS THAT WE JUST HAVE TO GO FUNDRAISE FOR.
WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? RESPONSI? WELL, THE THINGS YOU JUST MENTIONED ARE ALL STILL PLANNED.
UM, SO WE'VE ACTUALLY, THE AWNING OVER THE SEATING, REMEMBER WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT.
THEY WERE SAYING IT'S GONNA BE LIKE A 90 DAY DELAY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT THAT IN.
WE HAD A FIELD MEETING TUESDAY MORNING AND, UM, THEY'RE STILL KIND OF PUSHING HARD AGAINST BLOCKING OUT THOSE SECTIONS FOR THE FOOTINGS.
SO WE WENT BACK AND KIND OF REVISITED A NEW, A DIFFERENT KIND OF PEER FOOTING.
THAT WON'T TAKE UP AS MUCH SPACE.
SO I'VE PROVIDED THAT TO THEM.
I PROPOSE THAT STILL WEIGHING ON AN ANSWER, BUT WE'RE, I MEAN, I'M STILL PUSHING HARD FOR IT.
I I'VE INDICATED IT'S PRIORITY NUMBER ONE TO YOU GUYS.
WELL, I TOOK A PICTURE OF A LADY THAT HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A BASEBALL THIS WEEKEND AND SHE GOT HIT BECAUSE, UH, YOU KNOW, SHE WAS NOT, SHE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE, THE AREA, BUT JUST TO KIND OF SHOW IT HAPPENS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? FOR SURE.
AND SO IT'S, UH, THE HEAT IS ANOTHER BIG DEAL TOO.
I, I APPRECIATE YOU HAMMERING THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THEY WERE SAYING THAT'S GONNA BE A HUGE DELAY.
SO OF COURSE I'VE HAD ALL BASEBALL FIELDS.
I'M TAKING PICTURES OF ALL THE AWNINGS AND THE FOOTINGS.
YOU WANNA GIVE US A KEY? CAN MOVE IT.
IT'S JUST SOMETHING, UH, IT SHOULD BE IN MY GO GRAB IT.
THEY'RE TRYING TO GET READY FOR FULCHER.
SO WHY'D THEY CHANGE THE NAME? I DIDN'T REALIZE THEY DID.
IT WAS FULCHER FOLEYS AND THEY'RE CALLING IT FULCHER FOLEY.
THE OLD NAME IS FULCHER FOLIE.
OH, NOW IT'S FULCHER CHER'S FOLLY.
[Business - E (Part 1 of 2) ]
WEIRD.WE IN THE INTERIM COULD JUST MOVE TO E AND TALK ABOUT ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST AND WE COULD TALK ABOUT FULCHER FOLLIES.
WELL, WHILE HE'S IN HIS KEYS, I'LL SEGUE INTO KEITH FULCHER.
ON NOVEMBER 1ST, UH, WE'LL MEET AT IRENE STERN AT NINE O'CLOCK.
UM, LOCAL TABLE WILL BE CATERING OUR LUNCH AND WE HAVE QUITE A FEW GROUPS COMING OUT.
UM, IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT AROUND 200 VOLUNTEERS.
[00:20:01]
YOUR TRASH BAG IN YOUR NO, WE'VE GOT SUPPLIES BAG AND WE'VE GOT GRABS.WE'VE GOT GLOVES, WE'VE GOT SNACKS, WE'VE GOT WATER.
[Business - C (Part 2 of 2)]
LOOK AT THAT.SO, UH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ON THIS C3 AND THEN, SO, UM, YOU WANNA GO AHEAD AND KIND OF START AND KIND OF RATTLE OFF SOME STUFF.
WHAT ABOUT THE, UH, BATTING CAGES? I KNOW AT SOME POINT WE HAD A A, AN AREA SET UP THAT WE WERE GONNA DO THE BATTING CAGES.
IS THAT GONNA BE IN THE ORIGINAL, LIKE OPENING OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED ON AT A DIFFERENT DATE? AS FAR AS WHERE, AS FAR AS THE PLACEMENT, SO NOT THE PLACEMENT.
WE KNOW WHERE IT'S GONNA BE PLACED.
I THINK, WELL, I THINK WE KNOW WHERE IT'S GONNA BE PLACED.
MAYBE NOT, BUT LIKE, IS THAT GONNA BE, IS THAT FOR SURE WE OPEN UP AND THE BATTING CAGES ARE OPEN OR NO, IT'S JUST AN ENCLOSED AREA RIGHT OFF THE FIRST BASE OR THIRD BASE LINE DEPENDING ON THE, THE SITUATION I GUESS.
SO WE WERE THINKING, I GUESS IT'S, I WISH I HAD THE BOARD.
SO IN BETWEEN THAT, UH, AVERY MIGHT HAVE IT, BUT IN BETWEEN FIELD ONE AND FIELD THREE, WHERE THE, WHERE THE FIELD'S KIND OF BRANCH OUT.
AND THEN IN BETWEEN FIELD TWO AND FIELD FOUR IS KIND OF, KIND OF THE ONLY SPOT THAT WE THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE ENOUGH ROOM.
UH, SO IT'LL BE PRETTY MUCH CENTRAL AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL FIELDS.
BUT IT'S STILL IN THE ORIGINAL SCOPE.
LIKE SO OPENING DAY WE'RE GONNA HAVE BATTING CAGES.
WHAT ABOUT THE WARMUP, UH, PITCHING AREAS? I KNOW WE HAD ICE BULLPENS.
YEAH, THE BULLPENS WAS THAT ONE IN FOUR.
BUT I BELIEVE WE, I THINK WE ADDED THEM ALL BACK INTO THE PROJECT.
SO IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, I'LL DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT.
BUT I, I BELIEVE WE HAVE BULLPENS ON ALL FOUR FIELDS NOW.
'CAUSE JUST I REMEMBER ORIGINAL CONVERSATION WE WERE SAYING, YOU KNOW, YOU, IF YOU HAVE TWO WARMUP AREAS, YOU KNOW, TWO BULLPENS PER FIELD, OF COURSE BOTH SIDES GETS TO WARM UP.
BUT THAT'S ALSO ANOTHER THING THAT YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO HAVE THAT RESERVE SPACE.
LIKE PICTURES ARE ALWAYS WARMING UP KIND OF OVER IN THE SIDE.
IT'S JUST SOMETHING YOU CAN DO OUTTA THE WAY.
SO I MEAN, JUST FOR COST SAVING MEASURES, IF WE NEED OTHER THINGS, THAT WOULD BE JUST ONE OF THEM THAT I WOULD POTENTIALLY VE OUT.
AND RIGHT HERE, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH, I THINK THAT'S GREAT.
BATTING CAGES, RIGHT? THE BATTING CAGES? YES.
ARE WE GONNA DO A PITCHING MACHINE OR NO? THAT I, I DON'T THINK SO.
WE MAYBE AT A LATER DATE, BUT I THINK DOES THERE POWER THERE? YES.
WELL AND ALSO THAT OPENS UP, LIKE WHO'S USING IT? DID THEY BREAK IT? ARE KIDS PLAYING WITH IT'S, DID THEY PUT THE LITTLE ONES IN THERE AND JUST SAY, HAVE FUN AND ONE GOT PEGGED WITH A BALL THAT OPENS UP A WHOLE NOTHER, WE'RE JUST ENVISIONING KIND OF WARMUP COACHES THROWING BATING PRACTICE.
SO RIGHT NOW YOU'RE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE ORIGINAL DESIGN CONCEPT.
US NOT BEING ABLE TO FULFILL ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE IN THAT FOR WHENEVER OPENING DAY IS OPENING DAY, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE BATTING CAGES, THE WARMUP AREAS, THE BLEACHERS, THE COVERS, THE FALL BALL.
WE, WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING COVERED.
WE DON'T, THERE'S NOTHING RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE LIKE, OH SHOOT.
THAT DIDN'T MAKE THE, THE BUDGET.
UH, N NO GOOD BUDGET WISE WE'RE OKAY.
ALL THE ITEMS MADE IT IN THERE.
SO IT'S GOT THE, UM, YEAH, SO WE'RE THE, THE ONLY HICCUP IS THE, THE FOUNDATION FOR THE, THE SHADE STRUCTURES THAT WE'RE KIND OF GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE CONTRACTOR ON.
BUT FINANCIALLY WE'VE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH WITH THEIR FINANCIAL.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE ALL LIKE, ARE YOU SURE THAT WE HAVE THE MONEY FOR SKEPTICAL? THAT'S ALL WITH PRIMROSE IN PARTICULAR? YES.
JUST GETTING IT OFF THE GROUND.
AND LIKE AT TIMES WHERE WE THOUGHT MAYBE WE HAD THE MONEY TO COVER IT AND THEN WE DIDN'T, THEN WE FOUND OUT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO COVER IT.
SO THAT'S WHY THIS GROUP IS YES.
WHAT ABOUT, REMEMBER WHAT, TWO, THREE YEARS AGO WE WENT OVER A S YOU TAUGHT ME A NEW WORD.
UM, ARE WE STICKING WITH THOSE OR HAVE, ARE WE THE ONES WE CHOSE THREE YEARS AGO? YEAH.
HAS ANYTHING CHANGED WITH THOSE? WHAT WOULD THOSES? THE THE BENCHES.
[00:25:01]
US A GRANT, UM, FOR PART FOR S WHICH IS INCLUDES TRASH CANS AND BENCHES.I BELIEVE IT'S SIX BENCHES FOR EACH PART.
FOR PRIMROSE AND FOR EAGLE LANDING.
THE, I I, I'M, I HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK WITH THE, THE NUMBER OF TRASH CANS, BUT IT INCLUDED TRASH CANS AS WELL.
BUT DESIGN, CAN WE GET A PICTURE OF WHAT THEY'RE GONNA PUT IN? YES.
AND IF FUNDS FUNDS ALLOW, WE MAKE SURE IT'S THE ONES THAT WE'VE PICKED CAN YEAH.
IF FUNDS ALLOWED, WE WILL GO WITH WHAT WE PICKED.
BUT WE'RE NOT, I, WE HAVE, I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO FINANCIALLY DO WE HAVE THE FUNDS TO, TO GET THE ITEMS THAT WE PICKED? ABSOLUTELY.
IF IT DOESN'T COVER THE ONES WE PICKED, CAN WE NOT COVER THE SURPLUS? YES.
I'M NOT REALLY SURE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF A PS IN THIS GUY, LIKE THE TRASHCANS AND THE TABLES LIKE THAT.
CAN I ASK ABOUT THE DUGOUTS? AND MAYBE WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THIS, UM, IT'S NOT SCALED CORRECTLY.
MAYBE, MAYBE I'M JUST NOT INTERPRETING IT RIGHT.
BUT WHY ARE THE DUGOUTS LIKE IN THE OUTFIELD? COME LOOK OVER.
CAN YOU COME LOOK, LET TAKE A LOOK.
IT MIGHT JUST, I MIGHT NOT BE RECOGNIZING IT.
YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING AT THE BULLETINS.
SO WHAT'S THIS? SO THIS WOULD BE THE BLEACHERS I THINK, RIGHT? OR THOSE THE DUGOUTS OR IS THIS THE DUGOUT? WHAT'S THIS? BLEACHERS THIS? 'CAUSE THIS IS, I MEAN 'CAUSE THAT'S IN THE YEAH.
BLEACHERS ARE THE, USUALLY THE BLEACHERS.
BUT IN THIS CASE, USUALLY THEY'RE TOUCHING AND THAT IS A CONCEPT DRAWING IT.
IT IS NOT, DON'T TAKE IT TOO MUCH TO HEART BECAUSE I'M LIKE, IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING TO HAVE THE DUGOUT IN THE LIKE OUTFIELD.
'CAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT EVER.
SO AS LONG AS THAT'S NOT ACCURATE, IT WOULD BE MORE OVER HERE.
I'M MORE SHIFT OVER HERE BECAUSE THIRD BASE TYPICALLY YOU HAVE LIKE THE RIGHT HERE AND YOU'VE GOT YOUR THIRD BASE COACH.
AND I WAS JUST, THE APARTMENTS ARE THE, I THINK WE'RE MATCHING WHAT WE'RE DOING IN EAGLE LANDING.
WHAT ABOUT THE, UH, SCOREBOARDS ARE SCOREBOARDS IN OR ARE SCOREBOARDS OUT? I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHAT, WELL, I DON'T THINK WE BUDGETED THAT IN.
SO KIND OF TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS COMMENT, JUST SO I THINK THERE'S SOME CLARIFICATION MM-HMM
UM, THERE WERE SOME THINGS VEED OUT AND THEN THE BOARD HAD A PRIORITY OF THINGS THEY WANTED ADDED BACK IN.
MATTHEW WENT TO GET COST ESTIMATES ON THOSE.
UM, WE'VE GOTTEN SOME ROUGH ESTIMATES AND SOME BETTER ESTIMATES ON CERTAIN THINGS.
AND THOSE THINGS THAT WERE PRIORITY WERE ADDED BACK IN.
THERE MAY BE SOME THINGS THAT WERE VEED OUT THAT ARE NOT GOING BACK IN BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T LISTED AS A PRIORITY.
AND THEN A LOT OF THE BENCHES AND APARTMENTS, THAT'S PART OF THE WHOLE SPONSORSHIP DEAL THAT WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO, WE'RE TRYING TO WORK ON, UH, SO THAT WE CAN MAYBE GET SOME PEOPLE TO FUND SOME OF THAT STUFF.
BUT THE, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE BENCHES AND THE TRASH CANS AND ALL THAT ARE GONNA BE VERY CONSISTENT ACROSS THE PARKS.
SO EAGLE LANDING, PRIMROSE, THEY'RE ALL GONNA HAVE VERY SIMILAR, SIMILAR, UH, COULD WE FOR NEXT MEETING? YEAH.
AND I'VE BEEN ASKING, YOU KNOW, THE PAST COUPLE, I JUST WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE LIST OF LIKE WHAT ALL IS GOING INTO THE PARK AND THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE V VEED OUT.
BECAUSE, AND I'M NOT VALUE ENGINEERED.
I, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE A STICKLER, BUT YOU KNOW, I'M HEARING EVERYTHING'S IN AND NOW I'M HEARING THAT SOME OF THE THINGS WERE VEED OUT AND THEY MAY HAVE ALL BEEN, I I I JUST KNOW WE'VE, WE VALUE ENGINEERED THINGS OUT BECAUSE WE, WE BELIEVE WE WERE OVER BUDGET.
AND THAT THERE, THAT THERE WAS MONEY AVAILABLE.
AFTER THE BOND, WELL, HERE'S THE THING.
WE KNOW THAT THE BUDGET IS NOT ENDLESS.
WE WANNA BE EXTREMELY CONSCIOUS WITH THE DECISIONS WE'RE MAKING.
BUT I KNOW THAT WE ALL WANNA MAKE SURE THAT ON OPENING DAY OR THE RIBBON CUTTING WE'RE SHOWING UP AND IT'S A FULLY FUNCTIONAL FIELD THAT WE'RE NOT LIKE, OH, WHOOPS, WE FORGOT TO ORDER LIKE HOME PLATE, LIKE SOMETHING SILLY.
I'M JUST MAKING SURE THEY MIGHT EVEN BE INSTALLED ALREADY.
WE CAN DEFINITELY GET YOU A VE LOG OF THINGS THAT WERE VEED OUT THE ORIGINAL AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT PRICES AND ALL THIS.
I JUST WANNA KNOW LIKE THE SCOPE OF ORIGINAL SCOPE.
OKAY, HERE'S THE THINGS THAT MADE IT, HERE'S THE THINGS THAT WERE JUST DECIDED TO TAKE OUT.
AND THEN PER WHERE YOU WERE GOING EARLIER, I THINK THEN THE LIST OF THE THINGS THAT WERE TAKEN OUT, IF WE SHOULD DETERMINE, OH MY GOSH, THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT, LET'S FUNDRAISE FOR IT, THEN WE AT LEAST KNOW WHAT WE'RE EVEN FUNDRAISING FOR.
UM, AND I JUST THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ALL WANNA SEE THIS BE A GREAT PARK FOR THE, THE COMMUNITY AND WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THE THINGS THAT MAKE IT A FUNCTIONAL BASEBALL FIELD, ARE THERE TRUE? WELL, NOT ONLY THAT, BUT DESIGN WISE WE WANT, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY WANT IT TO LOOK GOOD SO WE DON'T MM-HMM
YOU KNOW, IF, IF WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE MONEY FROM SPONSORS OR SOMEWHERE TO GET A LITTLE BIT BETTER QUALITY SOMETHING, THEN WE NEED TO KNOW SO WE CAN WORK ON THAT.
YOU HAD ASKED FOR THAT LIST, BUT WE NEED TO HAVE A STARTING POINT SO WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE GONNA, WHERE WE NEED TO START AT.
AND, AND WE ACTUALLY, UH, ENVISION THAT EVEN IF WE DID HAVE THE DOLLARS FOR IT, WE COULD FUNDRAISE FOR IT.
[00:30:01]
RIGHT.I MEAN, IF WE HAD, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO FUNDRAISE FOR.
IF, IF WE WANTED TO FUNDRAISE FOR THE BLEACHERS, BUT WE'VE PAID FOR THE BLEACHERS, WE CAN ALWAYS ROLL THAT BACK INTO THE PARK FUND AND GIVE SOMEBODY A SPONSORSHIP FOR SOMETHING WE'VE ALREADY PAID FOR.
IT JUST, THAT MONEY WOULD JUST BE USED ELSEWHERE.
'CAUSE IT GETS, MY THING IS IT GETS THE, THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED.
LIKE WHEN YOU GO SHOW UP, YOU'RE LIKE, I, I, THE BLEACHERS ARE HERE 'CAUSE OF ME, WELL WE'RE GONNA GET 'EM ANYWAYS, BUT, BUT THE COMPANY PAID FOR, THEY FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA BE THERE FOR THE NEXT 20, 30 YEARS.
SPEAKING TO THAT, DID WE COME UP WITH THAT FORM YET THAT WE NEED TO HAVE? SO I DON'T THINK YOU WERE INCLUDED IN THE EMAIL.
UM, SO WE CAN FORWARD THAT TO, TO MR. POOLE IF, UM, IF WHICH EMAIL? WELL, HE'S A, HE'S A BOARD MEMBER NOW, SO HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE LIST.
HE WAS, SO YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN EMAIL LAST THIS WEEK ASKING FOR ANY IDEAS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT, ABOUT SPONSORSHIP ITEMS. I MEAN THE SPONSORSHIP FORM THAT WE NEED TO HAVE SO WE CAN GO YEAH.
SO WHAT WE'RE, WE'RE WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS, I DON'T, ST FINA, WE'RE KIND OF USING THEIR, THEIR CURRENT FUNDRAISING DEAL AS A A TEMPLATE WHERE WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA PUT EVERYTHING AND SAY THIS IS RE PARKS AND REC.
WE'RE GONNA KIND OF GIVE A BRIEF I KNOW.
WE WANNA GET THAT LIST TOGETHER OF ALL THE SPONSORSHIP ITEMS. I KNOW THAT, BUT WE NEED TO HAVE A SHEET THAT WE CAN GO TO A SPONSOR AND SAY, HEY, THIS, IT'S GONNA BE A PACKET WITH EVERYTHING INCLUDED.
WHAT WE NEED, IT'S GONNA GIVE A BRIEF DESCRIPTION, THE ITEMS THAT WE'RE SPONSORING, LIKE A CATALOG AND THEN WE YES.
AND THEN A SHEET ON THE BACK THAT'S GONNA HAVE, WE NEED TO GET THAT PROBABLY PRETTY QUICK.
LIKE WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO.
I MEAN, THE FIELDS ARE GONNA BE, THAT'S A MAJOR PRIORITY.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING, WE'RE WORKING, WE'VE STARTED WORKING ON THAT.
THAT'S WHY WE ASKED FOR THAT LIST FROM Y'ALL.
SO THAT WE, WE PUT A LIST TOGETHER, WE WANTED TO SEE WHAT Y'ALL'S PRIORITIES WERE SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE INCLUDED.
UM, WE'RE WORKING ON PUTTING THE BROCHURE TOGETHER.
WE'RE HOPING TO BRING, WE'RE PLANNING ON BRINGING THAT TO Y'ALL IN NOVEMBER SO THAT Y'ALL CAN GET A FIRST LOOK AT THE, THE PACKET.
AND CAN WE INCLUDE PARTS OF PHASE ONE IN THAT OR NO? ONLY PHASE TWO.
I THINK WE CAN INCLUDE ANYTHING.
I MEAN, AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIMITED TO PRIMROSE EITHER.
IT CAN BE EAGLE LANDING, IT CAN BE IRENE STERN.
IT CAN BE, THAT COULD BE MY QUESTION.
IS THIS PACKET TARGETED AT BEING A SUPPORTER OF SHORE PARKS OR IS THIS PACKET TARGETED AT THE BASEBALL FIELDS? AT PRIMROSE PARKS AS A WHOLE? PARKS AS A WHOLE.
SO WHEN YOU'RE ASKING US THINGS THAT WE THINK SHOULD BE INCLUDED, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THINGS THAT WEREN'T INCLUDED IN THE BASEBALL FIELDS.
IT'S WHAT WE THINK WOULD BE GREAT FOR THE, THE COMMUNITY TO SPONSOR IN TERMS OF PARKS BEING A FRIEND OF PARKS.
SO WHEN Y'ALL ARE PUTTING YOUR LIST TOGETHER, MY LIST, OTHER THINGS YOU CAN PUT LIKE PRIMROSE AND THEN THINGS THAT YOU THINK THAT ARE IMPORTANT THERE, IRENE STERN, THINGS THAT YOU THINK ARE IMPORTANT THERE.
NOW SOME OF THESE THINGS MAY BE A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN.
LIKE IRENE AND FRANCIS SMART, THEY MIGHT BE A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE THOSE PARKS ARE NOT IN DESIGN OR MM-HMM
SO THE PRIMARY FOCUS WILL BE ON PRIMROSE.
AND WE'D HOPE THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING OUT TRYING TO GET SPONSORSHIPS WILL KIND OF PUSH PEOPLE TOWARDS PRIMROSE AND EAGLE LANDING BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE PRIMARY CONCERN OF THIS MOMENT.
BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT SAYS THAT YOU CAN'T.
SO WHEN YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR LIST TOGETHER, IF YOU WANT TO DIVVY THOSE OUT UNDER THE PARTICULAR PARK AND WHAT YOU THINK IS IMPORTANT THERE, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
WELL, I'M HEARING AGAIN, THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S NEEDED AT THE BASEBALL FIELDS.
SO IT'S, IT'S LIKE WHAT WOULD WE SUGGEST THAT SOMEBODY WOULD PAY FOR THE BASEBALL FIELD? SO, SO THERE'RE THINGS LIKE SCOREBOARDS.
'CAUSE WE'RE, WE DON'T WANNA HAVE A SCOREBOARD AT EVERY FIELD.
SO WE, OKAY, SO WE DON'T HAVE SCOREBOARDS AT EVERY NO, I THINK WE WERE LOOKING ONE AND FOUR, TWO OF THE FIELDS.
YOU WE'RE GONNA HAVE A PORTABLE PITCHING MOUND.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE BLEACHERS, WE'RE GONNA HAVE, UM, POLYCAP ON THE POLYCAP ON THE FENCE.
ALREADY S ALREADY GONNA HAVE ALL THAT.
SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, THE POLYCAP AND ALL THAT, THAT'S ALREADY GETTING DONE.
THEY'RE SAYING WE COULD PAY FOR THAT OUT OF THE PARK FUND OR, AND WE COULD BE REDUCED.
WE COULD GET, OR WE COULD GET SPONSORS FOR IT AND NOT PAY OUT OF IT WITH THE PARK FUND AND USE THE PARK FUND MONEY TO BUILD ANOTHER PARK HERE.
HERE'S ONE OF THE THINGS, I THINK YOU'RE GOING ACROSS IT.
PEOPLE ARE, BUSINESS OWNERS ARE A LOT MORE LIKELY TO WRITE CHECK IF THEY KNOW THIS FOR A SPECIFIC ITEM.
VERSUS GOING, OH, IT'S FOR PARKS.
THEY, THEY WILL KNOW IT'S FOR A SPECIFIC ITEM, EVEN IF IT'S AN ITEM THAT WE ALREADY BOUGHT.
LIKE IF WE ALREADY BOUGHT A SCORE, IF WE CAN BUY FOUR SCOREBOARDS, WELL THEY CAN STILL SPONSOR ONE OF 'EM IS FINE.
UM, IS THERE GONNA BE A PRICE ATTACHED TO EACH SPONSORSHIP AND AND DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR EACH ONE? YES.
AND SO LIKE SCOREBOARD USING THAT AS AN EXAMPLE, THIS ROUND WE WILL, WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TWO, WE WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO PURCHASE A SCOREBOARD AND IF PART OF THAT COST WILL BE LIKE A, MAYBE A THREE YEAR TERM, WE WILL COME UP WITH SOMETHING WE'RE NOT, I'M JUST SAYING THREE YEARS.
BUT SIR, SOME THREE YEAR TERM OF ADVERTISEMENT.
AND THEN AFTER THAT YOU CAN EXTEND THE ADVERTISEMENT OR WE CAN SELL ADVERTISEMENT ON THE SCOREBOARD IN THE FUTURE.
UM, SO, AND JUST SCOREBOARDS IN GENERAL, I
[00:35:01]
KNOW I'VE SAID THIS A BAJILLION TIMES, BUT I FEEL LIKE THEY'RE QUITE ANTIQUATED AND UNLESS THEY CAN TALK TO GAME CHANGER, I JUST DON'T THINK IT'S THE BEST INVESTMENT.I THINK TWO OF THE FIELDS MAKES COMPLETE SENSE.
AND FOR THE LITTLES, EVERYBODY WANTS TO SEE THAT TIMMY'S TEAM'S UP BY TWO AND THE OTHER TEAM GOT, YOU KNOW, ONE, I GET IT.
BUT I JUST THINK MOST PEOPLE ARE USING GAME CHANGER TO KEEP SCORE.
AND SO YOU, I I JUST DON'T WANNA SEE SCOREBOARDS SITTING THERE NOT BEING USED AND WE BROKE OUR BACKS TO TRY AND GET THEM SPONSORED.
UM, I THINK TWO RIGHT NOW IS GREAT.
ME PERSONALLY, I PUT SCOREBOARDS KIND OF DOWN THE LIST, BUT THAT'S JUST ME.
UM, BUT I THINK LITTLE LEAGUE MAY BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
LIKE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP SOME OF THAT NOSTALGIA FOR THE SPORT, YOU WANT TO KEEP IT YEAH.
I'M IN THE MINORITY'S SELECT BALL.
WELL SHE YOU'RE PLAYING DIFFERENT, A LOT DIFFERENT.
YOU'RE PLAYING LIKE THE WIN OR LOSE YOU, DON'T YOU? IT'S, IT'S DIFFERENT.
BUT WE LITTLE LEAGUE IT'S MORE OF LIKE IN AN EVENT TO HANG OUT AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
LIKE SELECT WE'RE THERE TO WIN AND GO HOME.
THERE'S GONNA BE LIKE, I WANNA DO SCOREBOARD, I WANNA DO SCOREBOARD.
AND THEY'LL BE HITTING THE BUTTONS LIKE THIS.
YOU DON'T HAVE KIDS LINED UP WANTING TO DO THE SCOREBOARD FOR LITTLE LEAGUE FOR SELECT BALL AND REMEMBER THE FIELDS WERE DONATED FOR LITTLE LEAGUE.
I WITH YOU, I I I AGREE WITH DAX ON THIS.
I KNOW OUR TEAM MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN LAME, BUT WE DIDN'T, WE DIDN'T IN LITTLE LEAGUE KEEP SCOREBOARD EITHER OUR SELECT TEAMS WOULD MEET WELL FOR LITTLE LEAGUE WE LIKE NOBODY.
IT LIKE WE COULD NEVER FIND THE THING AND WE'RE JUST LIKE, NAH.
IT'S GONNA BE DONE DIFFERENT HERE FOR SURE.
SO AGAIN, I RECOGNIZE I'M IN THE MINORITY THOUGHT, SO I'LL JUST KEEP THAT QUIET.
BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE OTHER THINGS IF THERE ARE THINGS TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE WE INVEST IN A REALLY EXPENSIVE SCOREBOARD THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE USED AND WE WANT VERY BASIC ON THE BOARDS THAT WE PICK, SCORE ANY BALL, STRIKE OUT, MAKE SURE THAT SCORES GO UP TO 15 OR WHATEVER.
'CAUSE THOSE RUNS KEEP COMING.
THEY GOTTA THE BIGGEST, MY GRANDKIDS ARE IN IT NOW.
SO THE BIGGEST THING IS TO TRY TO INVOLVE THE COMMUNITY.
'CAUSE IF THE COMMUNITY SELF-EMPLOYED COMPANIES OUT HERE, THEY CAN DO IT AND THEY HAVE THEIR NAME ON IT 'CAUSE THEY'RE ATTACHED TO IT.
THEY'RE GONNA PAY FOR A LOT OF THAT STUFF.
WHICH MEANS YOU CAN HAVE THIS WHOLE THING, YOU CAN HAVE ALL KINDS OF COOL STUFF AND IT'LL LOOK LIKE WHEN PEOPLE COME TO COME VISIT SHORE OR WHATEVER, THEY'RE GONNA BE LIKE, WOW, THIS IS REALLY NICE BECAUSE YOU GOT THE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE TO WANT TO BE PARTICIPATING IN THAT.
AND THEY'RE GONNA WANT TO BE ATTACHED TO IT.
UH, THEIR NAME'S ATTACHED TO IT.
ONE THING THAT WE HAD MENTIONED IN THE PAST, JUST SO IT DOESN'T GET LOST, IS, YOU KNOW, SOME SORT OF A, A BRICK WITH NAMES AS A FUNDRAISER SOMEWHERE IN THE PARK.
WHETHER IT NOT BE NECESSARILY THE BASEBALL SIDE, BUT JUST TO KEEP THAT IN MIND THAT WE THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A REALLY COOL LOCAL TOUCH THAT SOMEBODY BUYS A BRICK, THEIR NAMES ON IT, IT GETS PUT IN.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY YEAH, THAT WAS ONE OF THE ITEMS WE DISCUSSED THERE.
DO WE HAVE A SIGNAGE ON THE FENCES IN THE BACK? SO THAT'S A, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
WE COULD DO THAT AS A COMMUNITY OR WE COULD LEAVE THAT TO LITTLE LEAGUE.
THE LITTLE LEAGUE THEMSELVES AS A FUNDRAISER.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY TALK ABOUT.
IT'S A GREAT SEGUE BECAUSE WE NEED TO BE GETTING OUT AHEAD OF WHO IS GONNA OWN THE FIELDS.
AND
SO WE, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT ACTUALLY YESTERDAY.
UM, AND WE'D LIKE TO GET SOME DIRECTION FROM PARKS BOARD ON WHETHER WE WANT TO, DO WE, DO WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO PURSUE A FULL SURE LITTLE LEAGUE OR ARE WE GOING TO JOIN BRAZOS OR KATIE? BECAUSE IF WE'RE GONNA JOIN AN EXTERNAL, MAYBE WE DO DO THE, UM, THE, THE FIELD MAINTENANCE AND ALL THAT AND KIND OF WORK WITH TRYING TO FIGURE THAT.
AND, AND Y'ALL CAN TELL ME I'M CRAZY OR STUPID, I DON'T CARE.
UM, IF I'M, IF I'M TALKING OUTTA TURN.
'CAUSE I I DID NOT DO THE LAST ONE AND, AND IT, YEAH.
SO THIS IS SOMETHING I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH AS, AS, AS WELL AS
SO RE IS IT'S, YOU WANNA IDENTIFY AS YOUR OWN CITY.
WE HAVE THE NUMBERS CROSS CREEK AND THE GRO COMMUNITIES, CROSS CREEK WEST AND ALL THESE OTHER AREAS.
SO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE ENOUGH TEAMS JUST FULL FULL.
SO THERE'S NO NEED, I GUESS TO HAVE A, TO, TO LINK UP WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.
AT THIS POINT, BRASS IS GONNA HAVE A HARD TIME WHENEVER WE START DOING THIS.
WE DON'T BECAUSE OUR, WE NEED TO KEEP FULL SHIRT FULL SURE'S GOTTA BE FULL.
SO WE'RE, THERE'S GOT ENOUGH KIDS IN SCHER THAT YOU'S GONNA BE ABLE TO HAVE A WHOLE LEAGUE OF TAKEN OVER ZA.
SO WHEN WE DID THE MATH ON, ON IT, SOME, SOME JUST BASIC MATH BETWEEN GETTING SHORE SET UP AND GETTING THE, THE CHARTER SET UP.
'CAUSE THERE'S A WHOLE, THERE'S A LOT OF LEGALITY AND PAPERWORK THAT'S GOTTA BE FILLED OUT.
AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE BOARD MEMBERS AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT FOR FULCHER JUST FULL.
WE DON'T HAVE TO PULL FROM KATIE, WE DON'T HAVE TO PULL FROM OTHER AREAS.
IT'S GONNA BE ENOUGH TO FACILITATE OUR HOMETOWN DEAL.
[00:40:01]
IT'S NAME FULCHER FOR FULL SHORE RESIDENTS FOR THE KIDS, ALL THAT.THAT AND GRANDKID THAT JUST MAKES SENSE.
SO I THINK WE CAN GET THAT SET UP.
UH, ANYBODY THAT WOULD SAY NO, LET'S, LET'S HAVE, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD JUST, I DON'T THINK THAT, SO WITH THAT IDEA IN IN MIND, DO WE, DO WE GO TO A, A SOLICITATION FOR FIELD MAINTENANCE OR DO WE ASK THE FULL SURE LITTLE LEAGUE TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN THE FIELDS? I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD IN THE INTERIM TO HAVE SOME BACKUP OF HELP MAINTAINING THE FIELDS BECAUSE NO MATTER WHOM TAKE, WHO TAKES OVER THE FIELDS RIGHT NOW, IT'S GONNA BE PROBABLY A JUNIOR ORGANIZATION THAT'S GONNA NEED TO GET UP AND RUNNING WITH PLAYERS AND PARTICIPANTS.
I DON'T THINK LONG TERM WE HAVE THE OUTTA HOUSE TAKING CARE OF IT, BUT I THINK IN THE BEGINNING WE GOTTA MAKE SURE THAT THE GRASS ISN'T DYING AND ALL THAT STUFF.
SO I WOULD THINK WE SHOULD GET SOME SORT OF SOLICIT SOLICITATION OUT TO, TO FIELD, UH, MAINTENANCE AND THEN HOPEFULLY A FULL SURE LITTLE LEAGUE EMERGES THAT WANTS TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE CARE OF THE FIELDS, BUT THEY'RE GONNA BE FOCUSED ON GETTING THE PLAYERS IN THE ORGANIZATION UP AND RUNNING.
AND YOU KNOW, ALL THE LOGISTICS ORGANIZATIONALLY THAT, THAT'S GONNA NEED TO HAVE.
AND TO, TO DAXS POINT, WE ARE SITTING IN A MUCH DIFFERENT PLACE NOW THAN WE WERE 10 YEARS AGO.
AND SO 10 YEARS AGO IT MADE SENSE THAT KATIE AND BRAZOS WERE THE TWO LITTLE LEAGUES AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS GROWTH THAT WE EXPERIENCED IN SHORE, UNPRECEDENTED.
I MEAN EVEN FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, FOR THE THE TOWN, IT MAKES SENSE THAT THE, THE, THE CITY OF SHORE HAS ENOUGH KIDS NOW TO HAVE THEIR OWN LITTLE LEAGUE.
AND I DON'T THINK, YOU KNOW, I, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE NASTY WHEN I SAY THIS.
I WANNA SEE BRAZOS DO WELL AND KATIE DO WELL, BUT THERE'S ENOUGH OF, UH, OF A POPULATION THAT WE NEED OUR OWN LITTLE LEAGUE HERE.
NOW THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT ABOUT THE FIELD MAINTENANCE.
IT IT'S GONNA BE A BRAND NEW ORGANIZATION AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA BE SPEARHEADING IT ARE GONNA NEED TO, IT'S WHEN YOU'RE MAINTAINING, IT'S NOT LIKE MAINTAINING A SOCCER FIELD THAT'S PRETTY MUCH YOU JUST MOW IT AND WATER AND FEED BASEBALL'S A WHOLE D ANIMAL OF MAIN MAIN.
SO WE'RE DEFINITELY GONNA NEED SOME ASSISTANCE ON THAT.
'CAUSE JUST ORGANIZING THE UNIFORMS, UH, THE TEAMS, THE SCHEDULING AND ALL THAT STUFF.
RAIN DELAYS, RAIN DELAYS AND WHO'S GETTING THE CALLS TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW YEAH.
SO, UH, IF YOU, IF YOU LEAVE IT TO THE LITTLE LEAGUE, LIKE IF YOU LEAVE IT TO THE LITTLE LEAGUE, LIKE FULL LITTLE LEAGUE TO DO IT, THEY COULD USE THOSE UH, OUTFIELD SIGNS OR BANNERS AS YOU WILL TO FUND A LOT OF THE, THE UNIFORMS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
BECAUSE THERE'S GONNA BE KIDS THAT MAYBE, I MEAN, WELL I GUESS THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WILL BE ABLE TO AFFORD SOME OF THIS STUFF, BUT THERE'S GONNA BE SOME, YOU WANNA HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE IS A FAMILY THAT'S GOING THROUGH A HARD TIME, I DON'T HAVE TO PAY THAT THAT COMPLY MAN.
WE GOT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO MAYBE FULL LITTLE LEAGUE.
I'M KEEP SAYING THAT SHOULD BE THE ONE TO BE ABLE TO DO THE BANNERS 'CAUSE THAT ALONE WILL GENERATE A LOT OF REVENUE FOR A LOT OF THAT STUFF.
WELL UNIFORM WISE, UH, KATIE USES A LOT OF DIFFERENT VENDORS.
LIKE MY KIDS ARE USING EX PRIMES ON THEIR BACK, SO.
WELL THE SPONSORS, YOU CAN GET ALL HOME.
YOU KNOW, SPONSORS FROM LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY.
I JUST THINK THE WIND SCREENS AND THINGS OF THAT SORT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE ORGANIZATION THAT IS MAINLY PLAYING THERE TO USE AS A FUNDRAISING MECHANISM AND KEEP THAT UPDATED YEARLY.
AND THEN THAT WAY IT'S NOT A CITY THING THAT WE HAVE TO EACH YEAR BE, YOU KNOW, ASKING FOR DONATIONS AND DOING IT.
I THINK WHOEVER OWN OWNS THE FIELD SHOULD DO THAT MAKING.
DO YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW IN YOUR MIND THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF THE FIELD MAINTENANCE OR NOT? I MEAN, I DON'T, I MEAN, WE'D HAVE TO DO A SOLICITATION, BUT I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF, IF WE WANTED TO JUST LET LITTLE LEAGUE COME IN AND DO IT OR IF WE WANTED I AGREE THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE STARTING IT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
I DON'T WANNA HAVE, YOU KNOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN LITTLE LEAGUE DEC DECIDES, OH, WE'RE ALL GONNA GO OUT THERE AND JUST VOTE ALONG, YOU KNOW? OKAY.
I THINK EVENTUALLY ONCE IT'S IN GOOD STANDING ORDER, THE THE UPKEEP WOULD BE EASIER.
BUT I THINK IN THE BEGINNING TO MAKE SURE IT'S FLOURISHING, I THINK WE NEED SOMEBODY KNOWS THAT WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
UM, AND I JUST THINK IT'S, UH, WHOEVER OWNS THE FIELD THEN IT HELPS THEM GET THAT ORGANIZATION UP AND RUNNING MM-HMM
WHILE THAT'S BEING TAKEN CARE OF.
AND THEN HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT, OKAY, NOW WHO'S TAKING CARE OF IT AT A LATER DATE.
YOU GOTTA START THE BIDS ON THAT PROBABLY PRETTY SOON.
BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S THE KIND OF A YEAH, WE'LL WE'LL START THAT PROCESS QUESTION AGAIN.
UM, IF KIDS COME OVER AND THEY JUST WANNA PLAY IN THE FIELDS, ARE THEY GONNA BE ALLOWED TO, THEY HAVE TO GET PERMISSION FROM FULL CIRCLE LITTLE LEAGUE NOW ORGANIZED PRACTICES? THEY DO.
BUT LIKE A KID WANTING TO HIT THE BALL AT THE BACKYARD? I DON'T THINK SO.
I MEAN I THOUGHT THAT WAS ALWAYS JUST KIND OF KINDA LIKE, UH, LIKE UH, THE SOCCER FIELDS, KIDS, NEIGHBORS ARE ALLOWED TO PLAY OUT THERE 'CAUSE IT'S FOR THEM.
SO IF IT'S LIKE YOU JUST WANNA HIT WITH YOUR BUDDY AND PLAY, THAT'S OKAY.
IF YOU'RE HAVING ORGANIZED PRACTICES, THEN THEY HAVE TO NO, THAT'S FINE.
'CAUSE IT'S A, IT'S FALSE FIELDS.
I WANT KIDS TO BE ABLE TO FEEL LIKE THEY CAN GO OVER THERE AND JUST PLAY SANDLOT BASEBALL.
THE CAGES WOULD BE OPEN AT ALL TIMES AND EVERYTHING.
LIKE IT'S FREE FOR THE CHILDREN TO GO PLAY, LIKE YOU
[00:45:01]
SAID.SO IS TARGET STILL SPRING BALL OR WE TARGETING FALL BALL OF 26 STILL ON PACE FOR DECEMBER COMPLETION.
WE GOTTA GET THESE PICTURES GOING.
I REALLY LOVE YOUR OPTIMISM RIGHT NOW.
WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF YEARS ABOUT THIS.
WE'VE BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW, RIGHT.
IF WE'RE THINKING TWO MONTHS, WE'RE DONE.
LIKE WE'RE, I'M CAPTAIN OBVIOUS WE'RE BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL OF LIKE WHO'S ACTUALLY PLAYING HERE AND WHAT'S GOING ON.
SO I THINK THERE'S INTEREST IN THE COMMUNITY TO START A FULL SURE LITTLE LEAGUE.
I KNOW THERE'S INTEREST PARTIES THAT ARE HELPING START A FULL SURE LITTLE LEAGUE.
I THINK IF YOU COULD PUT OUT SOME SORT OF REQUEST FROM THE CITY TO SAY WHO'S INTERESTED IN THIS, THEN I THINK THOSE PARTIES COULD SHARE, HEY, WE WANNA GET THIS UP AND RUNNING AND MAYBE THE CITY COULD HELP GET IT UP AND RUNNING.
BUT I KNOW OUR INTENT WAS ALWAYS LITTLE LEAGUE AND THAT'S WHAT THE LAND WAS DONATED FOR.
NOT SELECT BALL OR ANYTHING OF THAT SORT.
SO, BUT YEAH, I MEAN THAT OPENS UP OTHER STUFF TOO AS WELL.
ONCE IT GETS TO THE, ONCE EVERYTHING'S ESTABLISHED, THERE'S WAYS TO GENERATE REVENUE AND INCOME THAT CAN INVOLVE TOURNAMENTS AND PLAY LIKE THAT.
SO THERE'S WAYS TO DO, YOU KNOW, LEAD INTO THAT JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT, BUT IT'S ALWAYS GONNA BE A FALSE FIRST I WOULD THINK, TO BE FAIR.
AND IF, IF I'M MISSING SOMEONE, TELL ME.
BUT THE, THE PLAYERS THAT BE WOULD BE BRAZOS KATIE AND NON ESTABLISHED.
BUT INTEREST FULCHER LITTLE LEAGUES IS WHO THE CITY WOULD WANT TO TALK TO TO JUST SAY, HEY, LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY INTEREST, GREAT.
THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH WHOEVER WANTS TO START IT FOR FULCHER.
BUT I WOULD THINK THOSE ARE REALLY THE ONLY THREE AVENUES THAT THE CITY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HEARING FROM.
AM I WRONG? WHY WOULD YOU HAVE TO HEAR FROM OTHER LITTLE LEAGUES TO I THINK YOU JUST DO SCHER LITTLE LEAGUE IF YOU DON'T, WHY WOULD JUST DO FULCHER? YOU SET IT UP.
ARE YOU SAYING FROM MAINTENANCE IN PARTICULAR? NO, I'M JUST SAYING WHO'S LIKE WHEN WE WENT OUT FOR EAGLE LANDING RIGHT.
YOU HAD THAT ALL CALL OF WHO'S INTERESTED AND AND WHAT IT'S NOT HOME TEAM.
WHAT'S IT CALLED? THEY PORTERS, FSA.
WHO KEEPS THE CONTRACT? WHAT'S THEY'RE CALLED THE, OH SHOOT.
LIKE HTX IS THE, THE HOME TEAM.
BUT I KNOW THERE'S ANOTHER WORD WE WERE USING.
SO WE WENT OUT AND WE DID THAT AND WE HAD LOTS OF ESTABLISHED GREAT, YOU KNOW, ORGANIZATIONS THAT APPLIED, KEPT IT FAIR, HAD A RANKING PROCESS.
CITY COUNCIL MADE THE DECISION.
HTX GETS IT GREAT IN THIS INSTANCE, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, ALL I'M SAYING IS I THINK THOSE ARE THE ONLY THREE HYPOTHETICALS.
COULD WE JUST SAY WE WANT IT TO BE FULCHER LITTLE LEAGUE? YEAH.
I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO REACH OUT TO ANYBODY BECAUSE THEN I THINK THEY'RE GONNA WANNA STAY, YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU GOT THEM FIELDS ARE FALLING APART, I MEAN THEY'RE GONNA BE LIKE, THIS IS AMAZING.
I DON'T, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO OFFER IT TO ANYBODY.
SO THAT GOES BACK TO THE, I GUESS THE, THE MAINTENANCE QUESTION BECAUSE HTX IS THE MAINTENANCE MM-HMM
SO IF WE OPEN THAT UP FOR A, A SOLICITATION AND WE GET A SELECT TEAM THAT COMES IN AND SAYS, HEY, WE'RE WE'RE GONNA DO THIS, THAT, AND THIS AND WE'RE GONNA MAINTAIN THIS AND WE LIKE THAT AND THEY GET ROOTED INTO THE, INTO THE FIELD.
HOW DO, IS IT GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE TO, I MEAN WE WE'RE, WE'RE GIVING IT ON, WE, WE GAVE HTXA TWO YEAR CONTRACT TO DO THAT, OR AGREEMENT HTX IS AMAZING AND THEY'RE WELL ESTABLISHED.
SO IN, IN EAGLE LANDING IT DOESN'T CONCERN ME THAT THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE FIELDS.
BUT IF WE ARE SAYING WE DON'T HAVE TO OPEN IT UP AND THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN INTENDED FOR A FULL SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM TO PLAY HERE, THEN I'M 100% ON BOARD WITH THAT.
BUT IF THE CITY SAYS WE HAVE TO OPEN IT UP, I WOULD THINK THE ONLY THREE LOGICAL ARE THOSE THREE.
BUT IF WE, IF WE DON'T, IF WE DON'T HAVE TO OPEN IT UP.
I THINK SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE IS WHAT THIS PARK WAS ALWAYS INTENDED TO BE AND I'M GOOD WITH THAT.
I JUST DON'T THINK SINCE SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE DOES NOT EXIST TODAY, TO THINK THAT SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE CAN GET THAT ORGANIZATION UP AND RUNNING ORGANIZED TEAMS, ALL OF THE OPERATIONS AND TAKE CARE OF FIELDS.
I THINK WE'RE SETTING THAT THOSE PEOPLE UP FOR FAILURE.
'CAUSE I JUST DON'T, I THINK IT'S TOO MUCH AND IT'S GONNA BE TOO QUICK IF WE'RE REALLY TARGETING SPRING LITTLE LEAGUE.
NOW THERE'S WAYS TO GENERATE REVENUE TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR THOSE EXPENSES THROUGH ORGANIZATIONS.
LIKE, I'M JUST GONNA USE A PERFECT GAME.
THERE ARE BIG, HUGE SELECT AND SAY YOU CAN ONLY USE ON THE WEEKENDS FOR TURN, RENT, PLAY, ALL THE MONEY GENERATED GOES TOWARDS FIELD MAINTENANCE FOR AN EXAMPLE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO THAT WAY FULL DOESN'T TAKE THE BURDEN AND OR DEPENDING ON WHAT THE, THE SCHEDULE WOULD LOOK LIKE FOR LITTLE LEAGUE.
IF, IF A LOCAL SELECT TEAM WANTED TO RENT THE FIELD FOR A PRACTICE, THEN YOU CAN HAVE GENERATION OF FUNDS THERE TOO.
IT'S CHARGERS, THERE'S LIKE A LOT OF RE LOOK.
MY BIGGEST THING IS KEEP IT ALL RE ALL RE YEAH.
THERE'S MORE THAN ENOUGH KIDS IN FULCHER THAT YEAH.
THAT'S WHY WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO A FULCHER SELECT TEAM TOO.
YOU CAN LEAD AND HAVE THEM TO THE, UH, IT ALL LEADS INTO THE SELECT TEAM THAT LEADS INTO THE HIGH SCHOOL TEAM TO LEADS INTO, YOU KNOW, LITTLE JOHNNY PLAYED ON THESE FIELDS AND NOW HE'S JUST GOT A, YOU KNOW, A
[00:50:01]
COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP AND HE'S MAKING US PROUD.YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND NOW HE'S WENT THROUGH ALL THE RINKS.
BECAUSE MOST LITTLE LEAGUE GAMES ARE PLAYED DURING THE WEEK, NOT PLAYED ON THE WEEKENDS.
ON THE WEEKENDS THEY CAN USE IT FOR SELECT FIELDS.
GENERATE OUR INCOME, GET US MOVING.
I MEAN, YEAH, THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF THE FIELDS TOO.
THEY, THEY ABSOLUTELY WILL DO THAT.
WHAT I THINK WOULD BE REALLY GOOD, AND I HATE TO ADD ONTO THE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE NEVER ENDING LIST OF THINGS THAT I KNOW ARE ON YOUR PLATE.
I WOULD LOVE IF WE COULD HAVE LIKE JUST 30 MINUTES THAT PARKS AND REC COULD JUST GO OUT AND SEE THE FIELDS.
JUST HAVE A LITTLE TOUR, LIKE PUT LITTLE HARD HATS ON IF STUFF'S GOING ON AND JUST, WE COULD PACK LUNCH THIS OR DO A FIELD TRIP.
IF, IF PEOPLE ARE AVAILABLE, GREAT.
AND IF YOU'RE LIKE, I JUST DON'T REALLY CARE TO GO SEE IT, THAT'S FINE TOO.
BUT I WOULD LOVE TO JUST SEE IT.
I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN THERE.
THE, UM, THE POLICE HAD SOME QUADS OR NO, THEY WEREN'T QUADS.
THE POLARIS, THE POLARIS, WHATEVER.
AND WE DROVE AROUND JUST BEFORE THEY EVEN STARTED DEVELOPING THE PARK TO, TO SEE THE, THE PROPERTY.
AND THAT WAS GREAT BECAUSE YOU'RE THERE, YOU SEE IT, YOU GUYS ACTUALLY SEE IT.
YEAH, IT WAS VERY HELPFUL BECAUSE I WANTED TO GO UP THERE THE OTHER DAY, BUT IT'S GOT ALL THOSE SIGNS THAT SAY NO TRESPASSING.
AND I'M LIKE, MAN, I DON'T WANT TO LIKE, I'M ON THE PARKS BOARD, I DON'T WANNA GET BUSTED.
AND I'M LIKE, IT'S A, IT'S A LIABILITY ISSUE FOR THE CONTRACTOR, BUT IF Y'ALL ARE THERE WITH, I'M NOT SAYING WE'RE THERE ALL DAY AND LIKE SIGNING, YOU KNOW, LIKE DOCUMENT WITH JUST 30 MINUTES TO WALK IT AND THEN GO TO THE PARKING LOT AND THEN SCOOT.
BUT I THINK IT WOULD REALLY HELP US.
I MEAN I KNOW IT WOULD HELP ME.
ONE QUESTION ON AT THE BEGINNING WHEN YOU WALK IN, THAT'S THE CONCESSION AREA, BATHROOM AREA.
CAN YOU JUST BRIEFLY JUST TELL ME LIKE HOW MANY BATHROOMS, WHAT'S THE CONCESSION LOOK LIKE? QUESTION? UH, DO WE, SO IT'S OFFHAND IT'S, I I KNOW WE HAD A LONG DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT WITH HALF AND HOW MANY, I THINK IT'S, UH, TWO URINALS AND A TOILET ON THE MEN'S SIDE AND THREE TOILETS ON THE FEMALE SIDE.
AND THEN THE FRONT PART'S CONCESSION? YES.
UM, AND THEN I, I'M SKIPPING HERE 'CAUSE THAT'S PHASE TWO.
WHEN DO WE ANTICIPATE PHASE THREE STARTING? SO WE JUST RECEIVED 30% PLANS.
SO WE'RE GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS NOW.
I THINK THAT WE'VE GOT A TENTATIVE REVIEW COMPLETION DATE OF THE 17TH MM-HMM
AND SO ASSUMING THAT WE CAN GET THAT REVIEW DONE
UM, TYPICALLY THE 30% IS THE, THE BIG, THE, THE HEAVY LOAD.
SO VERY HOPEFUL THAT, AND, AND MATTHEW YOU MAY HAVE THE SCHEDULE THAT TELLS US KIND OF WHERE WE'RE PLANNING ON THAT LANDING.
BUT REMEMBER LAST WEEK, I, LAST MONTH I'D ASKED FOR SCHEDULE TO BE SENT TO US AS FAR AS WHAT WAS GOING ON AND GIVING US LIKE WHAT WE DO WITH THE COMPLETION DATE AND HOW FAR ALONG WE ARE AND WHAT'S, YOU KNOW, UPPER PERCENT AMOUNT WE HAVE ARE WE PHASE TWO DAYS AND ACTUAL PROGRESS IS RIGHT AT ABOUT 70% RIGHT NOW.
THE PHASE THREE WE'RE PHASE THREE DOES PHASE THREE OPEN GIVEN TO US.
SO WE KNOW EACH MONTH WHERE WE ARE.
AND WHAT I'M AFTER IS LIKE, HEY NEIGHBOR, THE BASEBALL PORTION OF PRIMROSE PHASE TWO IS GONNA BE OPEN FOR SPRING BALL IN 26.
ISN'T THAT GREAT? AND THEN WE SHOULD, YOU KNOW, LOOK TO SEE A COMMUNITY EVENT BECAUSE PHASE THREE IS OPENING IN SPRING OF 27.
WE SHOULD HAVE THAT SCHEDULED OUT INTO THE C IN THE CIP LIST OF WHEN WE EXPECT DESIGN TO END.
AND IT IS, I BELIEVE THE BEGINNING OF 27.
UM, EXPECT TO BE OPEN, SUBSTANTIAL.
I CAN GET IT SPRING OF 27 OR TO COMMENCE PTS FIRST QUARTER.
FIRST QUARTER SUPREME, WHAT'D YOU SAY? YEAH, FIRST QUARTER 27.
SO BASEBALL OPENING 26 AND THEN THE NEXT PHASE OPENING THE, THE FOLLOWING IN 27.
YEAH, IT WAS ABOUT A YEAR DIFFERENCE.
AND WE HAVE, WE HAVE THE CAPITAL, UM, PROJECT LIST WE CAN THAT HAS THE PARKS IN IT.
MAYBE WE CAN JUST SEND Y'ALL THAT WHOLE LIST AND I MEAN, Y'ALL WON'T CARE ABOUT THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, BUT I MEAN YOU MIGHT, BUT NO THANK YOU.
DID YOU GET A PICTURE OF THIS? I DID.
SO I GUESS THE ASK WOULD BE IF YOU COULD LIKE, LOOK IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS AND MAYBE JUST SEE 30 MINUTES THAT SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE FREE TIME THAT WE COULD SHOW UP.
AND IF WE HAVE TO BRING HARD HATS, LET US KNOW.
IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING WE COULD BORROW, THAT'D BE GREAT.
BUT WE'RE JUST STILL GONNA BE OUT THERE FOR 30 MINUTES.
NOT WASTE TOO MUCH TIME, BUT I THINK IT'D BE GREAT TO WALK IT AND JUST SEE IT.
MATTHEW, IF YOU, IF YOU WANT, WE CAN LOOK AT THE CALENDAR NOW AND SEE IF MAYBE IS FRIDAY A GOOD DAY FOR Y'ALL? MAYBE WE CAN JUST, YEAH.
[00:55:01]
THAT WON'T WORK.SO WHICH FRIDAY? DO Y'ALL WANT A FRIDAY OR DO Y'ALL HAVE A PREFERENCE? FRIDAYS.
DO WE WANNA MEET AND THEN GO OR DO WE WANT TO GO THERE AND THEN MEET? OR DO WE JUST, OR DO YOU WANNA DO IT AT THE NEXT PARK BOARD MEETING? NO, I'D RATHER GO OUT THERE SOONER THAN LATER.
I KNOW, BUT WE CAN MEET, WE CAN MEET IN THE PARKING LOT.
ARE WE MEETING HERE THEN HEADING OUT THAT WAY OR ARE YOU MEETING AT THE ACTUAL CAN WE JUST, I MEAN MY INTENT IS JUST TO LAY EYES ON IT AND GET THE ORIENTATION.
WE'VE SEEN THE PLANS, BUT LIKE, OH, OKAY.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT WAS GONNA BE THAT CLOSE OVER THERE SO THAT WE CAN JUST SEE IT.
DO WE GO DO THE FIELD TRIP AND THEN COME HAVE THE MEETING? OR DO WE HAVE THE MEETING AND THEN GO DO THE FIELD TRIP? WE DON'T HAVE A MEETING SO WE WON'T HAVE A FIELD.
WE WON'T HAVE A MEETING AT ALL.
OUR NEXT MEETING IS IN NOVEMBER.
LET US AND I, I DON'T, I DON'T WANNA GET SIDEWAYS IF ANY, ANY RULES OR MM-HMM.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A PROBLEM FOR AN ADVISORY BOARD, BUT JUST LET ME VERIFY BECAUSE IF SO WE CAN BREAK IT UP.
YOU REMEMBER WE WENT TO A UM, PLAYGROUND.
WE'VE DONE IT QUITE A FEW TIMES.
YOU'RE PROB IT'S PROBABLY NOT AN ISSUE.
I NEARLY BROKE MY TAILBONE ON A, I TOOK A PICTURE ON A ZIP LINE LINE THAT THE LAST TIME CLIFF EVER WENT DOWN A SLIDE.
SO TENTATIVELY UNTIL TOLD OTHERWISE.
WE ARE PLANNING ON THE 24TH AT NINE.
AND WE'RE MEETING OUT THERE FOR 30 MINUTES AND WE ARE NOT GONNA TAKE FIVE HOURS OF YOUR TIME.
WE'RE GONNA TAKE 30, MAYBE 31 MINUTES.
MIGHT LIKE BEING OUT THERE AND, BUT ALL TIME WE CAN GO AHEAD AND PUT IT ON THE SCHEDULE FOR NINE TO 10 SHOES.
I SUGGEST CLOSE SHOES AND A JUST PUT A HOLD ON YOUR CALENDAR AND THEN WE CAN, WE HARD WE CAN DECIDE HE'S GONNA GO THEN SWITCH HARD.
IF YOU WANT ME TO WEAR A HARD HAT, YOU'LL DON'T BRING ONE CONSTRUCTION ZONE, BUT IF THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S BEING LIFTED, NO, BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT.
THERE'S NOTHING ABOVE OTHER THAN THE SKY TREES.
YEAH, I'M PUTTING MY CALENDAR.
SO WE GOT THAT LITTLE TOUR, BUT NOT TO FALL OFF THE TO-DO LIST.
WE NEED TO START THINKING ABOUT, UH, YOU KNOW, SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE AND TALKING WITH WHOMEVER IS SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE AND MOVING FORWARD WITH GETTING THEM INVOLVED.
WELL, YEAH, WE'LL GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF.
YEAH, WE ALREADY GOT THAT MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION SO.
SO KAYLA, IF YOU'LL MAKE A NOTE, WE NEED TO START THE, UM, THE, OUR, OUR UH, REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR FIELD MAINTENANCE PROCESS AND THEN MR. POOL.
YOU WANTED A LIST OF THE CAPITAL LIST? YOU WANTED THE TIMELINE FOR THE PARKS.
YEAH, SO WE KNOW KIND OF WHERE EVERYTHING IS FALLING AND WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO.
EVEN LANDING SOUNDS LIKE IT'S JUST FELT DONE IT.
AND THEN A LIST OF VE ITEMS. MM-HMM
ANY, ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE, AND THEN CLEARLY FOR ANY EVENT THAT WOULD HAPPEN THERE, WE'D LOVE FOR THE GRASS TO BE GREEN AND YOU KNOW, ALL THE STUFF TO BE GOOD AND THEN HOLD AN EVENT TO, YOU KNOW, KICK IT OFF.
NOT HAVE, PLEASE DON'T STEP ON THE, IT'S GROWING.
YOU KNOW, HAVE IT GREEN LIKE A HUGE EVENT LIKE A FOOD TRUCKS AND YOU KNOW, WHOLE NINE AND YOU KNOW, BIG DEAL.
I MEAN EVERYBODY SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF THIS MOMENT.
SO I'M JUST GONNA SAY I'M EXTREMELY HAPPY THAT EVERYTHING IS MOVING FORWARD AND THAT WE ARE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT FITTING EVERYTHING IN THE BUDGET AND KEEPING THE TIMELINE THAT WE PROMISED OUT TO VOTERS.
HAPPY IS THE WORD OF THE DAY TODAY.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, MY APPREHENSION ISN'T BECAUSE OF ANYTHING THAT'S GOING ON, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT UH, EVERYTHING GETS DONE SURE.
WHEN WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE IT DONE.
SO WE'VE HAD THE RUG PULLED OUT FROM UNDER US A COUPLE TIMES, SO WE JUST A HUNDRED PERCENT WE ARE HAPPY.
WE APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HARD WORK.
[Business - D ]
OKAY.FOR, FOR FOR TIME'S SAKE, I GUESS WE'LL JUST KIND OF JUMP OFF THAT, UH, TOPIC.
UH, MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT FOR PARKS AND RECREATION BUDGET ACCOUNTS.
LOOKS LIKE WE HAD SOME MONEY COME IN AND GO OUT AGAIN.
UM, KAYLA, IF YOU COULD JUST, UH, EMAIL US WHAT THE EXPENDITURES WERE LAST MONTH AND THIS MONTH.
[Business - E (Part 2 of 2)]
ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST.ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA ADD? YEAH,
[01:00:01]
I JUST WANTED TO ASK, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT LITTLE WETLANDS AREA LAST MONTH AT THE PARK.DID WE FIGURE OUT IF THAT WAS PROTECTED? AND THEN DID WE GO BACK AND GOT TELL THAT GUY THAT WE DO NOT WANNA SHARE OUR DETENTION WITH HIM AT PRIMROSE? YEAH, WE, WE'VE INDICATED, UH, THAT THAT'S A NO.
AND IN THAT LITTLE WETLANDS AREA, DID WE FIGURE OUT IF THAT WAS PROTECTED OR NOT? BECAUSE I THINK HE WANTS TO FILL IT AND BUILD ON IT.
IF IT'S WETLANDS, HE'S GONNA HAVE TO PROVIDE DETENTION THEN IF HE FILLS IT, HE'S GONNA HAVE TO HAVE HIS OWN DETENTION.
GONNA GET HE HE DID TRY TO FILL IT IN ABOUT EXACTLY.
HE TRIED SO THAT'S WHAT I'M LIKE WE NEED TO, YEAH, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE HE DOES IT.
THAT'S FEDERAL LAW BECAUSE HE'LL DO IT AND THEN IT'S DONE AND THEN IT'S LIKE OH WELL YEAH, BUT IT'S STILL FEDERAL LAW HAPPENED AROUND HERE A LOT.
THERE'S A WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD THOUGH.
THERE'S NEIGHBORHOODS BUILT ON TOXIC THINGS THAT WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO DO IT.
IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND THEN IT'S DONE AND NOBODY CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
YEAH, THAT'S FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. HOLD ON.
I HAD ONE THING ON THE, UH, CURRENT EVENTS.
SO THAT'S PUT ON BY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
SO IT WOULD JUST BE REALLY AWESOME IN THE FUTURE WITH LIKE SOME OF THOSE THINGS LIKE PARKS AND RECS SITTING HERE, OUR VOLUNTEERING OUR TIME 'CAUSE WE WANNA SEE AWESOME PARKS AND AWESOME RECREATION EVENTS FOR THE CITY OF SHORE.
SO I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE ARE THE END ALL, DO ALL I KNOW WE ARE ONLY ADVISORY.
WE HAVE NO DECISION MAKING POWER.
BUT IT WOULD'VE BEEN GREAT TO JUST BE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH THAT TO VOLUNTEER, GIVE SOME TIME.
I'M NOT SAYING WE WOULD'VE CHANGED THE DIRECTION OF ALL OF IT, BUT MS. RAMONO, IT COULD'VE POINTED OUT THAT THE NAME IN THE PAST WAS THIS AND WE'RE MARKETING IT SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AND THAT'S OKAY.
UM, I THINK IT'S AWESOME THAT WE'RE DOING THESE THINGS FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND FOR THE RESIDENTS.
SO I JUST DON'T WANT THAT TO BE INTERPRETED NEGATIVELY.
BUT MAN, WE WOULD LOVE TO VOLUNTEER AND GET INVOLVED.
I MEAN THAT'S WHY WE COME AT ONCE A MONTH EVERY FRIDAY AND WE'VE GOT ALL THESE GREAT PARKS GOING ON.
SO I UNDERSTAND WE'RE NOT HIGH ON THE RECREATION PART, BUT LIKE WHEN WE CAN BE, WE WOULD LOVE TO VOLUNTEER AND HELP.
I WOULD'VE MOVED TABLES THIS ENTIRE WEEKEND.
SO I JUST ASK THAT IN THE FUTURE, IN THIS LIKE UPCOMING EVENT SECTION LIKE SIX MONTHS AGO IT WOULD'VE BEEN GREAT TO BE LIKE, HEY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT HAS THIS GREAT IDEA AND THEY'RE GONNA BE RUNNING WITH THIS.
AND WE COULD HAVE GONE, OH COOL, AWESOME.
HOW CAN I HELP? NOT THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE THE DECISIONS, BUT HOW CAN WE HELP? SO I JUST WANTED TO, TO SAY THAT IT WOULD BE REALLY, UM, GREAT TO JUST HAVE A HEADS UP ON SOME OF THAT STUFF.
'CAUSE WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT AND I GOT ASKED BY A NEIGHBOR, I WAS LIKE, I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WELL, AND I THINK THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT WOULD VOLUNTEER AND NOT ONLY US ON PARKS, UH, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, PEOPLE WOULD BE HAPPY TO GO HELP WITH THIS AND THERE'S NO COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AT ALL.
IT'S, WE'RE GONNA DO IT AND YOU'RE GONNA COME AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE HAD SOME KIND OF COHESION WITH THE COMMUNITY.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO PAY ME.
ALL READY? FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. ANYBODY WANNA ADD ANYTHING? OKAY, CLIFF, I I JUST GOT ONE COUPLE QUICK THINGS.
I ACTUALLY GOT SOME TEXTS WHILE, WHILE WE WERE TALKING AND I DIDN'T HEAR THEM GO OFF, BUT, UH, WANTED TO MAKE A COUPLE POINTS OF CLARIFICATION.
UM, MIRA HAS, MIRA IS OUR GRANT PERSON AND WE HAVEN'T ACTUALLY GOTTEN THE FULL AUTHORIZATION TO GET THE MONEY FOR THE BENCHES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
WE'RE, WE'RE, WE DO HAVE ONE SUBMITTED.
UM, SO EITHER WAY, WHETHER WE GET THE MONEY FOR THE BENCHES THROUGH THE GRANT OR THROUGH SPONSORSHIPS, THAT MONEY CAN BE, YOU KNOW, SPREAD.
IF WE DO GET SOMEBODY TO SPONSOR A BENCH OR A TRASH CAN, THEN THAT MONEY CAN JUST BE SHIFTED TO SOME OTHER FUNDING SOURCE.
AND UM, THERE WAS A NOTE THAT, UH, TO MAKE SURE YOU TURN YOUR MICS ON WHEN YOU SPEAK.
'CAUSE THEY CAN'T, THEY CAN'T HEAR SOME OF THE COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS, SO I JUST WANTED TO THANK THEY'RE LISTENING TO US.
I TURNED, I TURNED ON MY THEY ARE LISTENING.
[Business - F ]
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. ANYBODY WANNA ADD ANYTHING? I THINK WE COVERED IT.SPONSORSHIPS, JUST THE, THE OPENING, THE OPENINGS OF UH, EAGLE LANDING, WHATEVER THAT LOOKS LIKE.
AND ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE PLANNED FOR PRIMROSE IN THE FUTURE.
BUT AGAIN, I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE SOME GRASS AND HAVE IT LOOK LIVELY AND NOT HAVE SOMETHING WHERE YOU'RE LIKE, DON'T STEP ON IT.
IT'S GROWING, YOU KNOW? MM-HMM
AND DURING A TIME IN WHICH KIDS CAN COME NOT DURING SCHOOL TIME, THAT'S HUGE.
MAKE SURE YOU TURN THE MIC ON FOR THAT ONE.
THEY KILL, IT'S ON THE, IT KILLS WILDLIFE.
THERE WAS, UM, A, A CALF EATING A BALLOON DOWN LA PRADA A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND IT KILLS THEM.
[01:05:01]
OH THEY'RE SO PRETTY.WELL THEY ALL COME DOWN TOO AND IT KILLS WILDLIFE AND CATTLE.
STRAWS ONLY MADE OUT OF PAPER.
UM, WE JUST WANNA THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING Y'ALL DO FOR US.
UH, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO ADJOURN THIS MEETING.
KIMBERLY SAYS HAPPY FRIDAY, YOU FRIDAY.
IT'S ONLY TAKEN ME A YEAR TO GET THE HANG OF.
