[Call to Order]
[00:00:06]
OKAY.LET'S GO AHEAD AND CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER AT 9:00 AM ON FRIDAY, MAY 8TH.
DO WE HAVE ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS? WE'RE ALL LOOKING AT YOU.
[Business – A]
BUSINESS APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FOR THE MEETING HELD ON MARCH 20TH, 2026.HAVE ANY OTHER CHANCE TO LOOK OVER THOSE? YOU LOOK GOOD TO ME.
SO IF ANYBODY DOESN'T HAVE ANY, ANY OBJECTION, I'LL GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THESE TENANTS.
MAY DO WE HAVE A SECOND? A SECOND.
MOTION'S BEEN MADE AND SECONDED.
AND ALL IN FAVOR? CAN YOU PUT YOUR MICROPHONE A LITTLE CLOSER TO YOU? THANK ALL IN FAVOR.
[Business – B]
ALL PARK SPONSORSHIPS.A NAMING RIGHTS REQUEST FROM META PLANNING AND DESIGN.
SO META PLANNING AND DESIGN IS REQUESTING TO CALL FIELD A AT EAGLE LANDING META FIELD.
SO WE'RE COMING TO YOU TO VERIFY IF THIS IS SOMETHING WE WANT TO PURSUE AND IF APPROVED, WE'LL TAKE IT TO CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL.
AND THAT'S A, A TIMED SPONSORSHIP, RIGHT? YES.
ALL NAMING RIGHTS ARE FOUR YEARS.
SO THEY, IT WOULD BE CALLED META FIELD FOR FOUR YEARS.
AND ONCE THE FOUR YEAR TERM IS UP, THEY COULD EITHER DECIDE TO CONTINUE IT FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE OR THEY COULD CHOOSE TO NOT, AND THEN WE COULD HAVE A DIFFERENT SPONSOR POTENTIALLY.
IS IT A LOCAL META Y YEAH, IT'S, IT'S JUST A, A PLANNING AND DESIGN COMPANY IN, IN THE AREA.
IT'S THE ONE THAT DEVELOPERS USE TO, UH, IT'S A DEVELOPER COMPANY BASICALLY.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY OPINIONS ON THAT? I'M FINE WITH IT.
THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS I, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS POSSIBLE.
I THINK THIS WAS IN THE SPONSORSHIP PACKET.
SO I, I GUESS I'M ASKING THIS QUESTION TO CONFIRM.
THE FIELD WOULD STILL BE CALLED EAGLE LANDING PARK? YES.
THE PARK WILL STILL BE EAGLE LANDING PARK THIS FIELD INSTEAD OF, AND SO IT'S JUST FIELD A? CORRECT.
BUT IF THEY WERE USING IT TO MARKET, WE WOULD STILL REQUEST THAT THEY REFER TO THE PARK AS EAGLE LANDING PARK.
BUT META FIELD A IS WHERE THE GAME IS BEING PLAYED OR WHATEVER, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
ESSENTIALLY WE WOULD BE CHANGING THE NAME OF FIELD A TO META FIELD.
THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY CHANGE THAT WOULD BE HAPPENING.
AND USUALLY THEY JUST HAVE A PLAQUE OUT THERE OF SOME TYPE IN BASEBALL.
THEY HAVE IT ON A FENCE, BUT THEY DON'T NECESSARILY META FIELD AT PARK EAGLE LANDING.
SO YEAH, WE WOULD CHANGE THE SIGNAGE.
RIGHT NOW IT SAYS FIELD A RESERVATIONS AND SO IT WOULD SAY META FIELD INSTEAD.
AND THEN WE WOULD CHANGE THAT ON OUR RENTAL SYSTEM AND ON THE MAP AS WELL.
SO YOU PERFECT DOWN HERE? WE'LL CHANGE THE NAME TAGS.
SO IS ANYONE OPPOSED TO THIS? IS THERE A SET COST? UH, SO FOR FIELD NAMING RIGHTS FOR EAGLE LANDING, IT'S 12 K FOR THE FOUR YEARS, SO.
ANYBODY OPPOSED TO THAT? THANK YOU.
META PLANNING AND DESIGN? YES.
DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL THEMES FOR THE FUTURE MURAL AT PRIMROSES ON THE CONCESSIONS BUILDING.
FROM THIS ONE, I DO HAVE AN IMAGE OF JUST THE AREA SO WE CAN ALL LOOK AT THAT.
SO THIS IS THE PART OF THE CONCESSIONS BUILDING THAT WE'LL BE USING FOR THE MURAL.
UM, SOMETHING I WANTED TO NOTE IS THAT THE BRICK THAT'S ON THIS BUILDING IS HIGHLY TEXTURED, SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE WOULD PUT IN OUR CALL TO THE ARTISTS OF POTENTIAL MURALISTS THAT, HEY, THIS IS HIGHLY TEXTURED.
A LOT OF SMALL FINE DETAILS MIGHT NOT BE THE EASIEST TO DO, SO MAYBE SOME BIGGER FEATURES WOULD BE BETTER.
BUT WANTED TO BRING THIS TO Y'ALL AS WE DO HAVE A SPONSOR FOR THIS, TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY POTENTIAL SPECIFIC THEMES YOU WOULD LIKE FOR THIS.
OR IF WE WANNA KEEP IT A LITTLE BIT MORE OPEN-ENDED.
JUST CURIOUS WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ON THAT COWBOY BASEBALL.
WELL, IT'S THE, IT'S FOR THE WHOLE PARK, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, NO, IT'S FOR THE BASEBALL.
WELL, IT'S THE BATHROOM FOR THE WHOLE PARK.
I MEAN, I WOULD SAY LIKE FULL HISTORY CENTRIC, FULL HISTORY, SOMETHING CENTRIC, NATURE, RE NATURE, YOU KNOW, MEAN BIG OLD STEAM WILL COME OUT OF, WELL, I MEAN, THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS I CAN
[00:05:01]
THINK OF A LOT OF THINGS.BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, ON THE CALL FOR ARTISTS EVEN SAY MORNING DAX.
SO MORNING ON THE CALL FOR ARTISTS EVEN SAY, UM, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WORD IT, BUT OTHER IDEAS ARE WELCOME BECAUSE MAYBE SOMEBODY WILL COME UP WITH SOMETHING REALLY COOL AND WE GO, OH WOW, THAT'S GREAT.
YOU KNOW? SO I'D LIKE TO SEE SOMEBODY COME UP WITH A DESIGN FOR FUL USING FULL HISTORY AND F YEAH.
I'M NOT SURE IF Y'ALL SEEN SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE ONES IN CROSS CREEK, BUT I MEAN THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.
AND, UM, THEY'RE JUST KIND OF LIKE A FLORAL DESIGN EVEN THAT JUST KIND OF SHOWS SOME OF THE, THE NATURAL FLORALS OF SCHER.
WELL, SO EVEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT I THINK WOULD BE NICE.
EVEN THE ONE, I MEAN, WE'VE GOT A MASTERPIECE ON THE BATHROOMS AT IRENE STERN.
IN FACT, NOTE ITSELF, THEY'RE PAINTING IT.
WE NEED TO HAVE THAT POLYURETHANE SOON SO WE DON'T LOSE IT.
BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY PAINTING IT ON THE BUILDING.
AND NOT DOING A, COVERING THE IMPERFECTIONS AREN'T GONNA BE A PROBLEM.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY GONNA ADD TO THE ARTIST.
WELL, THE ONE ON THE IRENE STERN IS PAINTED ON THE BUILDING.
SHE SAT OVER THERE WITH HER DAD FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND PAINTED THAT.
AND I MIGHT BE IN THE MINORITY HERE, SO I'M GONNA THROW SOMETHING OUT IN THE LAVA.
MIGHT NOT BE IN MULVA, A A A BALL OUT THERE.
BUT I DO THINK IN THE PARK THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR, FOR ART AND FOR SOME MORE MURALS.
AND I HOPE THAT THOSE MURALS WOULD BE A LOT MORE NATURE INSPIRED ALONG WITH THE THEME OF WHAT PRIMROSE PARK IS IN GENERAL.
AND, AND KIND OF TO YOUR POINT, LIKE THROWING BACK TO HISTORY AND OR JUST NATURAL STUFF THAT'S IN SHORE.
BUT FOR ME, IN WAY FINDING AT, AT THE BALLPARKS, I KIND OF FEEL LIKE THIS, ALTHOUGH RIGHT NOW IS THE ONLY BATHROOM FOR THE PARK IS KIND OF ROOTED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BASEBALL CENTEREDNESS.
NOW, I'M NOT SAYING I THINK IT SHOULD BE BASEBALLS AND MITTS, BUT I DO THINK IT SHOULD BE LIKE SHO BRANDED TASTIC WITH SOME, SOME ELEMENTS TO IT.
I, I KIND OF FEEL LIKE IT'S LIKE A WAY FINDING PIECE OF, OKAY, WE'RE AT THE, WE'RE AT THE BALLPARKS, WE'RE IN FULCHER.
UM, THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE BRANDED IN THE BASEBALL PARK ITSELF.
SO I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S A REALLY COOL PIECE TO BE LIKE, OH, WE'RE AT THE, WE'RE AT THE BASEBALL FIELDS AT PRIMROSE.
WE'RE, WE'RE AT CHER'S FIELD, WE'RE CITY OF FULCHER TASTIC.
I DON'T KNOW, THERE'S A PIECE TO ME THAT I THINK IT SHOULD BE LIKE A RED, WHITE AND BLUE AMERICANA FULL.
I WAS ACTUALLY THINKING THE SAME THING.
THINKING OF MAYBE THE MURAL OR THE, UH, THE LOGO THAT WE HAVE FOR FULL SURE.
OR EVEN JUST THE FULL SURE LETTER LIKE THEY HAVE ON YEAH.
TWO, THREE OVERPASS AND THEN ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CIRCLE USING THE NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST.
UM, NOT NECESSARILY NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST.
BUT JUST LIKE THE, THE, THE, THE DIAMOND POINTS AT EACH POINT KIND OF CENTRALIZING SINCE THIS IS THE KIND OF THE CENTER OF THE, UH, OF THE BALL FIELD.
UM, AND THEN PARTS OF BASEBALL EVEN IN THE BACKGROUND.
AND LIKE EVEN SOMETHING WITH THAT, I THINK THERE'S A CREATIVE ELEMENT.
I'M NOT SAYING JUST TAKE THE, AND THEN STAMP IT, BUT I FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING REALLY COOL THAT COULD BE DONE THAT'S LIKE CITY TASTIC BRANDING THAT THEN WOULD ALSO FALL IN LINE WITH KIND OF ALL THE STUFF YOU'RE GONNA SEE AROUND IT AT THE BASEBALL PARKS, BUT FIT INTO THE REST OF THE PARK.
UM, AND I THINK THERE'S, YOU KNOW, WHOEVER THE ARTIST IS COULD COME UP WITH A COUPLE CONCEPTS THAT, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY YOU GUYS LOOK AT.
BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE THE, THE FLOWER NATURE PIECE HERE TO ME WOULD, WOULD JUST LOOK OUT OF PLACE.
BUT I FEEL LIKE WE NEED THAT IN THE PARK.
I FEEL LIKE UNDERNEATH THE, YOU KNOW, THE OVERHANG FOR WHERE THAT METAL STRUCTURE'S COMING, I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A COUPLE OTHER PLACES.
BUT AGAIN, THAT'S, THAT'S MY 2 CENTS.
WHAT ON THE SIDES YOU SAY TIMEOUT.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY.
WHAT ARE ON THE SIDES? I MEAN, CAN WE PUT LIKE PRIMROSES ON THE SIDE? BECAUSE IT'S PRIMROSE PARK.
CAN WE PUT LIKE, PAINTINGS OF PRIMROSES ON THE SIDE, ON THE TWO SIDES OF THE BUILDINGS? SO THE RESTROOMS ARE ON THE SIDES OF THE BUILDING.
SO I'D PROBABLY DISTURB, BUT THERE'S STILL ROOM.
BUT IT WILL STILL HAVE, STILL HAS CONCRETE, IT STILL, IT'S GOT WALLS.
IT'S STILL JUST THAT HIGHLY TEXTURED SPACE.
SO IF WE DID FLOWERS, IT WOULD BE KIND OF HARD DEPENDING ON THE TYPE YOU DO, JUST BECAUSE OF HOW HIGHLY TEXTURED IT IS.
I, REAL QUICK, I I GOTTA SAY SOMETHING.
IT'S DONE HIGHLY TEXTURED AND THEY CAN DO IT.
I MEAN, IT, YOU CAN'T IF YOU'RE RIGHT ON IT.
BUT WALKING, YOU KNOW, AWAY FROM IT, IT LOOKS GREAT.
HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE FIELDS YET? HMM? YOU'VE BEEN TO THE FIELDS AND SEEN IT? HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE FIELD? EVERYBODY'S BEEN TO THE FIELDS.
WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT IS WHEN YOU WALK UP, IT'S RIGHT THERE BY THE BASEBALL STUFF.
IT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH ANYTHING ELSE.
IT DOES LOOK LIKE IT'S ASSOCIATED.
SO I THINK PUTTING FLOWERS IS GONNA BE A REALLY, LIKE WHAT? IT, IT'S GONNA LOOK ODD.
SO I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS A HUNDRED PERCENT IT'S GOTTA BE PUT ON THE SIDES.
[00:10:01]
THE ONLY BATHROOM FOR THE PARK.ALL FOR THE ENTIRE PARK, RIGHT? YES.
WELL UNTIL PHASE THREE, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE'RE NOT GONNA GO TO PHASE THREE AND PUT BASEBALL STUFF OVER THERE.
'CAUSE THAT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE.
SO WHY ARE WE DOING FLOWERS ON IT WHEN IT'S JUST TEMPORARY? YOU WON'T EVEN, LEMME FINISH, BUT YOU WON'T BE USING IT UNTIL PHASE THREE WILL BE DONE NEXT YEAR.
AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR OWN BATHROOM TO PUT FLOWERS AND ALL THAT STUFF.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE ALL THAT STUFF IS AT.
I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S SAYING PUT FLOWERS.
I'M SAYING WE'RE MAKING IT CHER CENTRIC WITH NATURE OR HISTORY OF CHER.
I, I MEAN, I'LL BE IN THE MINORITY AND SAY THAT.
I MEAN, I THINK THAT A MORE NATURE THEMED FITS IN BETTER THAN A RED, WHITE AND BLUE.
BUT, YOU KNOW, UH, OF COURSE THE MAJORITY WILL RULE.
BUT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, I, I LIKE THE NATURE THEME OF IT.
I'D LIKE SOMETHING TO GO ALONG, ALONG WITH MM-HMM
AND I DO, I LIKE THE IDEA OF, YOU KNOW, RE BEING IN THERE SOMEWHERE, BUT MAYBE NOT IN A RED, WHITE AND BLUE THEME.
MAYBE JUST IN A PRIMROSE PARK THEME.
WELL IF WE, IF WE HAVE THE THEME AS FUL SURE.
CENTRIC OR SOMETHING KIND OF WIDE OPEN AND LET'S SEE WHAT THEY BRING US BACK AND, AND SEE WHAT THE ARTISTS COME UP WITH.
I JUST AROUND AND LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE BOXES.
YOU SEE RED SPLATTERED FLOWERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
AND I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE THAT.
WELL, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE PLENTY OF ADVERTISING BANNERS THERE, SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE PLENTY OF BASEBALL STUFF.
WELL, IT IS A BASEBALL FIELD, SO THAT MAKES SENSE.
WE'RE NOT GONNA PUT BANNERS ON THE OTHER SIDE.
I MEAN, 'CAUSE THAT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE.
I WISH THEY'D COME UP WITH, SO I'M HEARING CONSENSUS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO USE THE RE LOGO IN SOME CAPACITY, BUT THEN AFTER YOU USE THE RE LOGO IN, IN SOME CAPACITY, SOME SORT OF CONCEPT FROM THE ARTIST OF HOW DO WE INTEGRATE SOME OTHER PIECES THAT AREN'T JUST FLOWER TASTIC AND AREN'T BASEBALL TASTIC, BUT SHOWCASE SOME PIECES FROM FISHER'S HISTORY OR, YOU KNOW, NORTHWEST'S, NORTHEAST, SOUTH AND WEST, OR PRIMROSE FLOWERS.
OR WHEN WE SAY NATURE, THAT'S NOT JUST FLOWERS.
I MEAN, WE'VE GOT ANIMALS, WE'VE GOT ALL KINDS OF STUFF.
WELL, AND I THINK THE BIG THING THERE TOO IS AT SOME LEVEL, THE, THE NEXT SUBSEQUENT, UH, MURALS THAT GO IN THE PARK, THAT IT HAS TO TELL A COHESIVE THEME.
SO WHAT I WOULD HATE IS IF WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS JUST UNIQUE AND STANDS OUT AND THEN THE OTHER MURALS ARE LIKE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
SO THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF COHESIVENESS THAT GOES.
BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE IT, IT SHOULDN'T BE JUST BASEBALLS, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT SHOULDN'T JUST BE FLOWERS.
IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS FULL.
BUT I THINK THEY'RE SAYING FLOWERS BECAUSE ALL THE OTHER ONES ARE, A LOT OF THE OTHER ONES ON THE ART BOXES ARE FLOWERS AND STUFF.
THERE'S, AND IT IS PRIMROSE PARK.
I, I WOULD JUST, I MEAN TO COME UP WITH A THEME, SAY FULCHER CENTRIC OR FULCHER SOMETHING, COME UP WITH A WORD THAT THE ARTIST CAN WORK WITH AND SEE WHAT THEY BRING US.
CHER CENTRIC IS A GOOD, I MEAN I ALSO LIKE THE IDEA OF IT SAYING PRIMROSE PARK ON IT.
YOU KNOW, LIKE THE ONES IN CROSS CREEK, THEY SAY, YOU KNOW, LIKE, WELCOME TO CROSS CREEK OR WELCOME TO FRE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
LIKE, I LIKE THAT IDEA OF IT BEING VERY WELCOMING.
AND IT VERY LIKE STAYING LIKE PRIMROSE PARK.
LIKE THAT WAY IF PEOPLE GET THAT IN THEIR MIND, THEY'RE NOT JUST SAYING THE BASEBALL FIELDS, THEY'RE SAYING PRIMROSE PARK AND INSTAGRAMMABLE CUTE PICTURE.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT HONESTLY, I THINK THAT IT'S HARD TO MAKE AN IDEA OR COME UP WITH THOUGHTS ON IT BEFORE WE SEE ANY ART ARTIST RENDERING, RIGHT? MM-HMM
SO IT'S JUST KIND OF LIKE WHAT THEY COME UP WITH AND THEN WE CAN GO FROM THERE.
I THINK IT WOULD BE COOL IF IT WAS A, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M THINKING OF DOZERS, YOU KNOW HOW THEY HAVE THEIR ART AND YOU STAND THERE AND YOU TAKE A PICTURE WITH IT.
THINK IT'D BE REALLY COOL FOR THIS TO ALSO INCORPORATE LIKE A INSTA MOMENT WHERE SOMEBODY COULD STAND AND TAKE A PICTURE WITH THEIR YEAH.
I IMAGINE BASEBALL KIDS, KIDS, I IMAGINE LIKE A BASEBALL TEAMS AFTER THEIR GAMES STANDING IN FRONT OF THIS AND TAKING A PICTURE.
BASEBALL KIDS STANDING IN FRONT OF A PATRIOTIC THING WOULD BE WAY COOLER STANDING IN FRONT OF A BUNCH OF CATTLE AND FLOWERS AND OWLS.
I JUST THINK THAT'S, UM, YEAH.
I, AND I, I THINK SOMETHING FOR THIS IS, IT'S GOOD TO STAY A LITTLE BIT MORE BROAD SO THAT THE ARTIST CAN INTERPRET WHAT THAT MEANS AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE A PANEL THAT WILL, YOU KNOW, GO THROUGH THE ART AND THEN PRESENT THAT ALL TO YOU TO SEE LIKE, WHERE DO WE WANNA MOVE FORWARD WITH, BECAUSE SOME ARTISTS ARE GONNA HAVE DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS OF WHATEVER FULCHER CENTRIC MEANS OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.
SO, AND WHO WILL BE THE PANEL? IT'LL BE CITY STAFF AND THEN EVANGELINE FROM THE ARTS ALLIANCE.
I THINK THAT GIVES ENOUGH DIRECTION.
[Business – C]
ALRIGHT, ITEM C, PRIMROSE PARK UPDATES FROM STAFF REGARDING PRIMROSE PARK CONSTRUCTION.IS THAT A MATT OR DAVID? YEAH, I'LL DO THIS ONE.
SO, UM, AS Y'ALL ARE AWARE, WE'RE GETTING TO THE VERY END OF CONSTRUCTION FOR PHASE TWO.
[00:15:01]
A FEW THINGS THAT ARE STILL LINGERING WITH OUR CONTRACTOR.THERE'S A BIT OF A MIX, UH, SHAKEUP WITH OUR STAFF, BUT, UM, WE'VE BEEN TOLD AND REASSURED THAT EVERYTHING IS MOVING FORWARD.
SO YOU SHOULD SEE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF TIDYING UP ON THE BALL FIELDS, UH, INCLUDING SOME GATES THAT ARE GONNA BE INSTALLED, AS WELL AS SOME, UH, REWORK OF SOME UTILITY LINES THAT WERE OVER THERE.
SO WE ARE DRAWING TO A CLOSE, BOTH IN THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE, BUT ALSO ON THE PAY APPS FOR PHASE TWO TO BE DONE.
NOW THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE DON'T STILL HAVE THE PORTIONS ON OUR SIDE THAT WE'RE TAKING CARE OF, WHICH WOULD BE THE AMENITIES, WHICH WOULD BE SOME OF THE FURNITURE THAT ARE GONNA BE INSTALLED.
KELLY'S BEEN ORDERING IT AND THE, AND OUR CITY STAFF HAS BEEN DOING SOME OF THE SHADE STRUCTURES, UM, EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED FOR THE GRAND OPENING THAT WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE BIT LATER.
BUT EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE ON TRACK WITH A FEW THINGS THAT WE'RE TAKING OUT IN THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT, LIKE BALLARDS THAT ARE BASEBALL THEMED THAT ARE GONNA BE BROUGHT BACK IN AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY GONNA BE DELIVERED, UH, BEFORE THIS, OUR NEW DATE.
I THINK WE'LL FINALLY HAVE THIS REALLY TIGHTENED UP AND WE CAN SAY THIS IS STAMPED, ENCLOSED AND WE'RE GONNA MOVE FORWARD WITH PHASE THREE.
NOW, PHASE THREE, WE ARE, AS Y'ALL ARE AWARE, WE ARE MOVING FROM 92 A HUNDRED AND I THINK THERE'S A DISCUSSION ITEM COMING UP FOR SOME OF THOSE CHANGES, THOSE NUANCES THAT WE NEEDED SOME INPUT ON SO WE CAN GET THOSE FINAL RENDERINGS READY SO THAT WE CAN MOVE INTO CONSTRUCTION FOR THEM.
BECAUSE I DO WANT TO HAVE THIS PART OF THE, THE PROJECT, YOU KNOW, BOW TIED AND DELIVERED TO Y'ALL BY NEXT SUMMER.
BUT FOR THAT TO START, I NEED TO GET THE CONTRACTOR ON BOARD.
SO JUST THE TIMELINES ARE GETTING A LITTLE BIT TIGHT, BUT I REALLY WANT TO HIT THAT MARK OF GETTING IT TO YOU ALL BY NEXT SUMMER.
SO JUST NEED SOME HELP WITH Y'ALL WITH THAT LAST LITTLE LEG FOR DESIGN.
OH, DO WE KNOW WHEN THE BLEACHERS ARE GONNA BE INSTALLED? DO WE HAVE A DATE, FIRM DATE? UM, FIRM DATE, WHICH IS GONNA BE, WE, SO WE HAD TWO DIFFERENT BLEACHER OPTIONS BECAUSE THE DATES WERE SHIFTING, BUT WE HAD SOME, UM, TEMPORARY BLEACHERS THAT WERE DELIVERED THAT ARE ACTUALLY ARE IN HOUSTON.
AND IF WE WERE GONNA GO FORWARD WITH THIS SATURDAY, WE'RE GONNA GO PICK THEM UP, INSTALL 'EM, HAVE 'EM READY, BUT THE, THE PERMANENT ONES WILL BE HERE BY TUESDAY.
AND THEN WE'LL INSTALL THOSE AND HAVE THOSE READY TO GO.
UM, SO EVERYTHING'S REALLY COMING IN LINE NOW.
UM, SO IT'S, IT'S LOOKING REALLY GOOD.
WE STILL HAVE TIME TO FIGURE ALL THAT OUT.
WE'RE, WE'RE ALREADY, THOSE ARE GETTING IRONED OUT.
THE LAST DETAILS FOR A FIRM DATE, WELL SHOULD BE BY NEXT WEEK.
SO WE, BY THE TIME WE ALL HAVE YOUR NEXT MEETING, WE SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO WITH SHADE STRUCTURES AND NATURES AND ALL THOSE FINAL LITTLE AMENITIES.
AND DAVID, YOU SAID, UM, BASEBALL THEMED BALLARDS, ARE THEY JUST BIG ROUND BALLS PAINTED LIKE BASEBALLS? YES, THEY ARE.
AND THAT'LL BE ON THE ENTRANCE COMING IN.
AND REALLY, I MEAN BEYOND JUST THE THEME OF IT, WE ALSO WANNA MAKE SURE THERE'S NO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC THAT CAN GO INTO THE PARK THROUGH THE CENTER WAY.
SO THIS WILL REALLY ALLEVIATE ALL OF THAT IN THAT CIRCULAR ROUNDABOUT IN THE MIDDLE.
YOU KNOW, WANT ANYTHING TO GO.
SO IT'S BIG CONCRETE, CONCRETE THING PAINTED LIKE A BASEBALL.
HOW FAR BACK IS OUR NETTING? WHOOPS.
HOW FAR BACK IS OUR NETTING GONNA GO? THE NETTING, WHICH I'M SORRY.
UH, THE NETTING ON THE BACK OF THE, ON A HELP ME DECK BEHIND THE PI THAT'S ALREADY STOPPED BACK BACKSTOPS.
IS IT GONNA GO ALL THE WAY TO THE, UH, DUGOUTS OR NOT? BECAUSE I WAS SITTING AT THERE BUT GAME LAST NIGHT AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY A BALL COMING ACROSS OVER THE TOP.
SO, BECAUSE IT WOULD STOP WHERE THE NETTING WAS.
IT'S, IT'S A PRETTY SAFE, IT'S REALLY SAFE.
UH, AND THE FENCES ARE REALLY HIGH.
SO IF IT GOES OVER THE FENCE, IT'S GOING OVER YOUR HEAD.
NOW I'M SAYING THAT IT'S LIKE FOOLPROOF, BUT IT'S, IT'S PRETTY GOOD.
IT'S REALLY PROTECTED FOR SURE.
BUT I THINK WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IS AT NOT THE LAST MEETING, BUT THE MEETING BEFORE, DIDN'T WE TALK ABOUT INVESTIGATING THE NETTING THAT WOULD GO IN BETWEEN THE FOUR BASEBALL DIAMONDS JUST TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURE? RIGHT.
AND UM, SO WE'RE, WE DID GET PRICING, SOME PRICING FOR THAT.
WE ALSO THOUGHT BECAUSE THERE'RE STARTING OFF WITH LOWER AGE LEVELS.
WE DON'T SEE THE VELOCITY THAT YOU'D BE ABLE TO HAVE BY HITTING FOUL BALLS GOING BACK.
THERE'S GONNA BE A FEW THAT ARE BIG ROOTS
I'M JUST SAYING THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF FOUL BALLS.
LIKE HE'S TALKING ABOUT ONE KIND OF FOUL BALL GOING OVER LIKE FIRST OR THIRD.
THEN THERE'S FOUL BALLS THAT GO OVER OVER THE TOP.
YOU DON'T GET AS MANY OF THOSE, BUT YOU DO GET FRONT WHERE PEOPLE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
THEY'RE AT A BALLPARK PRETTY MUCH.
YOU KNOW, WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS HEADS UP, YOU KNOW, DON'T GO LIKE THIS.
YOU LOOK UP FIND, FIND WHERE THE BALL'S AT.
BUT IF Y'ALL WOULD LIKE, WE CAN LOOK AT THE NETTING THAT GOES DOWN.
'CAUSE I THINK WE'RE ORIGINALLY TALKING ABOUT BACKSTOP.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BACK ABOUT 30 DEGREE.
IT'S, I, YEAH, I'D BE SHOCKED IF YOU HAVE TO GO GET THE, THE CANOPY NETS TO GO.
'CAUSE YOU'D HAVE TO PUT A POLE IN THE MIDDLE RIGHT.
OF THE PLAYGROUND AND EVERYTHING.
IT LOOK LIKE A CIRCUS TENT KIND OF DEAL.
WHICH SOMETIMES IT'S NECESSARY YOU WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE IF THAT IS OR NOT.
WE'LL BE ON THE FIELDS ALL THE TIME.
LITERALLY LIKE, AND I'D BE LIKE, DUDE, WE GOTTA COME UP WITH A PLAN 'CAUSE THE BALLS ARE COMING OVER.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET TO OLDER AGES.
I THINK THAT THAT'S, THAT THAT CAN BE, BUT WE'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE.
UH, THE SHADE CANOPIES, WHAT COLOR ARE THEY? I REMEMBER WE SAW A COUPLE DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
[00:20:01]
YEAH, I BELIEVE WE DID BLACK ON SAME COLORS AS DUGOUTS.WHAT COLOR? DUGOUTS LIKE GRAY.
A DARKER, I GUESS ALMOST BLACK TOP.
IT'S LIKE A GUN METAL KIND OF THING, RIGHT? MM-HMM
ALL LOOKS GREAT WITH THIS AS WELL.
THIS LINE ITEM, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE PLAYGROUND STRUCTURES WE HAD SENT OUT YESTERDAY.
ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT OR MONA? WITH THIS ONE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PLAYGROUNDS AS WELL FOR PHASE THREE.
SO I HAVE THAT LISTED RIGHT HERE.
I HAD SENT THIS OUT YESTERDAY.
UM, SO WITH GETTING TO THE A HUNDRED PERCENT, WE'RE LOOKING TO FIND A SUBSTITUTE POTENTIALLY FOR THE WINDMILL AND SILO THAT WE HAD SENT OUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.
IT WAS JUST COST PROHIBITIVE AND WAS LIKE A TWO YEAR CONSTRUCTION TIME, WHICH IS JUST NOT IN LINE WITH WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO FOR PHASE THREE.
AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO GET THESE RENDERINGS FROM THE DESIGN TEAM TO SEE AS POTENTIAL, UM, UPGRADES AS REPLACEMENTS.
AND WANTED TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE THREE OPTIONS.
I THOUGHT OPTION ONE HAS MORE FUN THINGS TO DO.
UM, THERE'S NOT A SLIDE FOR THE LITTLES.
SO WITH THE REST OF THE PARK, WE DO HAVE TWO OTHER SLIDES AS WELL.
I CAN SAY THERE'S SOME, I KNOW THERE'S COOL STUFF, BUT THERE'S, I'M THINKING LITTLES.
SO THERE'S ANYTHING THERE FOR THE LITTLES AREN'T THERE WITH THE, WITH SOME OF THE THINGS ON THE PERIMETER, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD LITTLE SLIDES ON THEM.
I THINK I HAVE BETTER, UH, LET'S SEE.
OKAY, SO THESE IMAGES, I ASKED MY SON WHO'S SEVEN, I SAID, WHICH ONES WOULD YOU THINK YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS WOULD LIKE? AND WE'RE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR AND HE WAS LIKE, OH, THIS ONE.
AND I DIDN'T, I COULDN'T SEE AND I'M LIKE, AND I FORGOT TO TELL ASK THIS MORNING, WHICH THIS ONE WAS THIS ONE.
AND I KNOW, I'M LIKE, DUDE, LIKE I'D ASKED MY SON THE SAME THING.
ACTUALLY BOTH MY SON AND DAUGHTER.
AND THEY SAID OPTION ONE REALLY? BUT 11 AND EIGHT.
SO OPTION TWO LOOKS VERY USEFUL 'CAUSE IT'S GOTTA A SLIDE FOR LITTLE GUYS.
AND OPTION TWO I LIKE BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO, IF YOU GOT, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO TAKE A LITTLE GUY IN THERE, THE MOM'S GONNA HAVE TO CLIMB UP IN THAT SUCKER WITH THEM.
BUT THERE, BUT ALSO I THINK THERE MAY BE SMALLER PARKS.
RIGHT? YOU SAID THEY'RE KINDA LIKE LITTLE BRANCH OFF PARKS THAT MAY HAVE THAT ON.
SO THIS IS KIND OF THE PROPOSED MAP BASED OFF OF THE RENDERINGS WE JUST GOT.
SO WE DO HAVE TWO SLIDES THAT WOULD BE OVER HERE.
AND THEN DEPENDING ON IF WE LIKE ANY OF THESE OPTIONS, WE WOULD PUT THAT IN THE MIDDLE RIGHT HERE.
SO THERE'S SMALLER SLIDES ARE, YEAH, IT'S JUST THE MAIN CENTER PIECE.
IF WE WENT WITH EXAMPLE, LIKE IF WE WENT WITH OPTION ONE, THEN WE WOULD HAVE THREE SLIDES AT THE PARK VERSUS IF WE WENT WITH OPTIONS TWO OR THREE, WE WOULD HAVE FOUR.
OKAY, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
HOW DO WE DO THIS? DO YOU WANNA VOTE ON IT? ACTUALLY LIKE OPTION 30? REALLY? MY QUESTION IS, IF YOU GET THE MIDDLE PART, DO YOU GET EVERYTHING ELSE THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT? SORRY, CAN YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION? IF YOU GET THE MIDDLE PAVILION, DO YOU GET EVERYTHING ELSE THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT THEN? YEAH, THE ITEMS OVER HERE ARE ALREADY PLANNED FOR.
IT'S, IT'S ADDING THIS AS AN ADDITION BECAUSE THE WINDMILL AND SILO FEATURE WAS COST PROHIBITIVE.
IT'S JUST, BUT WHICH ONE IS, WHAT DO WE HAVE IN THERE ALREADY? CURRENTLY THERE WAS A DIFFERENT PLAN TO NOT HAVE SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE LIKE THIS.
AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE PROPOSING SOMETHING NOW.
BUT WHAT DOES THE STUFF THAT WE HAVE, WHAT ARE THE OTHER ELEMENTS? WHAT DO THE OTHER ELEMENTS LOOK LIKE THAT ARE AROUND IT? SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHAT'S THE MOST YES.
LET ME FIND THAT AESTHETIC TOGETHER.
YEAH, I WOULD SAY ONE THING ABOUT OPTION ONE VERSUS OPTION TWO AND THREE.
IF YOU NOTICE THE SLIDE IS ENCLOSED YEAH.
VERSUS THE OTHER TWO THAT ARE OPEN.
YOU'LL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF LITTLES TRYING TO CLIMB OR SLIDE DOWN AND FALL OUT OF OH, IN ONE? MM-HMM.
WELL YOU WON'T IN ONE 'CAUSE IT'S ENCLOSED.
NO, THEY CLOSED CLIMB UP THE OUTSIDE.
UM, I WILL SAY THAT THE KIDS CLIMB, CLIMB OF IT, ME ON TOP OF IT.
CLIMB, CLIMB ON THE OUTSIDE OF IT AND THEY JUMP ME.
THEY CLIMB ON THE, THE ONE THAT'S NON ENCLOSED TOO.
SO IT DOESN'T, YEAH, THERE'S A WAY THEY'LL FIND A WAY ON ANYTHING.
THEY'RE GONNA FIND A WAY TO BE UNSAFE.
I THINK NUMBER TWO LOOKS MORE RUSTIC AND LIKE MORE FULL.
IT'S GOT LIKE WOOD ELEMENTS AND MORE RUSTIC, MORE FULCHER.
THE ELEMENTS ARE A LITTLE REALLY.
UH, SO THAT'S WHAT'S AROUND IT NOW? YEAH.
SO I CAN SHOW YOU SOME OF THE IMAGERY.
SO WE HAVE SOME OF THESE WHICH ARE JUST LIKE VARIOUS, WHAT DID THEY CALL THEM? NOT UH, LIKE SWING TYPE CLIMBING FEATURES.
THEY NOSE, THEY'RE LOOKING LOOK LIKE THE MORE CLIMBING AESTHETICS IN THIS OVERALL PARK.
SO THAT'S WHY I DON'T SEE AS MANY SWINGS AS MUCH AS CLIMBING ELEMENTS.
SO WE HAVE LOTS OF CLIMBING ELEMENTS GOING ON.
AND THEN THIS IS THE OTHER TWO SLIDES THAT WOULD EXIST.
AND IT HAS A TALLER HILL THAT'S PERFECT FOR LITTLE AND THEN THERE WOULD BE A CLIMBING WALL
[00:25:01]
OVER HERE THAT'S NOT PICTURED.NO, I GUESS OPTION ONE LOOKED LIKE IT HAD MORE CLIMBING FEATURES THAN OPTIONS TWO AND THREE.
AM I CORRECT? JUST LOOKED LIKE IT HAD MORE FUN THINGS TO DO THAT THEY COULD DO MORE ON IT.
THIS ONE JUST LOOKS LIKE IT HAS MORE OF THE CLIMBING FEATURES THAT KIND OF GO ALONG WITH IT.
CAN, WHAT'S OUR LIABILITY? I THINK WE HAVE A VERY GOOD LIABILITY MATTER.
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THIS HAS MORE CLIMBING FEATURES NEED.
CAN YOU, CAN YOU GO, CAN WE SEE TWO AND THREE REAL QUICK? YES.
I THOUGHT THAT, YOU KNOW, THE LITTLES COULD JUST GO WALK UP THE RAMP THEMSELVES AND GO DOWN THE SLIDE.
AND THE OTHER SIDE, IT'S ALL, EVEN THOUGH IT'S ENCLOSED, I MEAN IT'S NOT ENCLOSED, BUT YOU HAVE TO WALK UP THERE AND YOU'VE GOT SHADE THING AND YOU'VE GOT, UH, IT'S A GRID UP ABOVE IT AND WIND'S GONNA BE ABLE TO BLOW THROUGH IT AND IT'S GONNA BE COOLER.
AND THEN LET'S SAY THREE I, THAT'S KIND OF SPACESHIP TO ME.
DO WE WANNA VOTE ON IT? WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO? DO YOU JUST LIKE AN INFORMAL VOTE
I LIKE THE STUFF THAT ONE HAS WITH IT.
I NICE JUST, I LIKE THOSE TWO LITTLE EXTRA SLIDES.
BECAUSE IT'S, IT IS A DOUBLE SLIDE ON NUMBER TWO.
PLUS HE HAS THAT DOUBLE SLIDE RIGHT THERE.
SO LIKE THE LITTLE FRIENDS CAN GO DOWN IT AND THEN THE BIGGERS ARE UP TOP KIND OF THING.
IT'S GOT, AND WE HAVE SO MANY OTHER CLIMBING FEATURES AT THE PARK THAT THOSE EXTRA CLIMBING FEATURES ATTACHED TO ONE DON'T SEEM AS NECESSARY.
BUT WE ALSO ALREADY HAVE THOSE TWO ON THE OTHER OTHER SLIDES.
CAN YOU SHOW ONE MORE TIME SIDE IS IN LIKE ONE SLIDE THAT THEY'RE JUST KIND OF LIKE NEXT TO NO, THEY'RE TWO SLIDES.
NO, THEY ARE, THERE'S THERE'S TWO.
THAT'S EVEN BETTER BECAUSE YEAH, I I CAN GO, I KNOW MY GIRLS WOULD GO DOWN TOGETHER.
KIDS LIKE TO DO THAT KIND OF THING WHERE THEY KIND.
WHICH ONE OF THOSE HAS TWO NUMBER SHOWED A PICTURE OF? NO, ON THE, SO WE HAVE THESE TWO SLIDES, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE A BUT THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT DOUBLE SLIDES.
SEE THESE DOUBLE SLIDES LIKE THAT ARE KIND OF GOOD FOR, FOR LITTLES WITH THEIR BIGGER, BIGGER.
MAYBE IT'S JUST FOR, MAYBE BECAUSE I HAVE TWINS THAT I'M LOOKING AT THE DOUBLE SLIDES THINKING, OH, THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD DO.
TWO JUST LOOKS A LITTLE MORE RUSTIC TO ME AND I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M GETTING THAT FEEL.
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE THOUGHT TOO.
I THINK TOO LOOKS MORE RUSTIC AND ONE LOOKS MORE FUTURISTIC OR SOMETHING.
I THINK WHAT IS THE THEME THAT WE'RE GOING TOWARDS? ARE WE GOING TOWARDS RUSTIC? YES.
OR ARE WE GOING TOWARDS FUTURISTIC? WELL, WE'RE PAINTING ANIMALS IN FLOWERS, SO WE'RE GOING WITH THAT KIND OF RUSTIC.
WE'RE NOT GOING FU THAT'S RUSTIC.
WE'RE NOT PAINTING SPACESHIPS.
SO I LIKE TO, WE COULD DO A NOD IN NASA.
I THINK ORIGINALLY PRIMROSES CONCEPT THAT WAS PITCHED WAS LIKE THE LIFECYCLE OF A PLANT.
I MEAN, I'M, I'M GOING REAL DEEP HERE, BUT WE WERE REALLY TRYING TO TAKE IT BACK TO BASICS OF WHENEVER WE GET TO THAT EDUCATION PART WITH THE, THE, THE METAL STRUCTURE.
LIKE HAVING SOMETHING THAT'S ABOUT HOW, YOU KNOW, PLANTS GROW OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.
BUT I DUNNO, I, I LIKE ONE AND TWO.
I JUST THINK TWO LOOKS A LITTLE MORE RUSTIC AND EARTHY THAN ONE.
BUT TWO TO ME HAS SO MUCH LESS TO DO.
YOU CAN CLIMB UP THE STAIRS AND GO DOWN THE SLIDE AND MAYBE, HANG ON.
THAT THING ON THE SIDE ONE HAD FIVE DIFFERENT THINGS YOU COULD DO.
IT DOES ONE HAS MORE OPTIONS FOR THINGS THAT YOU COULD DO.
BUT WE HAVE THOSE OPTIONS ALREADY.
BUT THERE'S JUST SO MANY OTHER CLIMBING FEATURES IN THE PARK THAT ARE THOSE EXTRA CLIMBING FEATURES NECESSARY.
MAYBE THEY ARE, I DON'T KNOW, I BE AS A CENTERPIECE THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A CENTERPIECE THAT LOOKS MORE LIKE A CENTERPIECE THAN THE TWO SLIDES IN THE MIDDLE.
SHOULD WE, WE, WE CAN VOTE ON IT.
JUST SEE WHERE EVERYBODY STANDS.
YEAH, WE CAN PUT IT TO A VOTE.
SO IT SEEMS LIKE OPTION THREE IS NOT GOOD OFF TABLE.
SO IT'S BETWEEN OPTIONS ONE AND TWO.
IT'S JUST WHAT'S THE BEST FIT FOR CHER, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE THE, THE PARK.
BECAUSE I KNOW WE DID OUR THEME WITH LEAGUE, UH, LOGO BASED ON THE, THE COLORS OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, UH, THE DIRT, THE GROUND.
KINDA LIKE REACHING WAY BACK BECAUSE FULL STREET'S LIKE A SMALL TOWN.
UH, SO I'M COOL WITH, AND THE GOVERNMENT, I LIKE NUMBER ONE, I THINK IT'S AWESOME.
I JUST, YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T KNOW IF IT'S UH, WELL IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE
[00:30:01]
A, THAT COULD GO EITHER WAY.IT'S NOT PARTICULARLY FUTURISTIC OR ANYTHING ROUND WITH SOME SPEARS ON IT ON TOP.
JUST BECAUSE THE PARENTS CAN'T REALLY SEE, LIKE, AS A PARENT, LIKE I WANT BE ABLE TO SEE MY KID AND INSIDE OF THAT ENCLOSED THING, IT'S A LITTLE HARDER TO SEE THE CHILDREN.
LIKE WHAT YOU DOING IN THERE KIND OF THING.
I JUST IMAGINE, YOU KNOW, I IMAGINE LIKE KIDS UP THERE WITH A SHARPIE LIKE WRITING ON THE THING.
HOW DO YOU GET TO THE SLIDE THOUGH? THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.
I'M PULLING THIS THING UP AND BLOWING IT UP AND I CAN'T YOU CLIMB THROUGH THAT THING ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP.
SO YOU WOULD CLIMB THROUGH THIS WAY AND THEN THERE'S A FLOOR RIGHT THERE AND THEN YOU CLIMB ALL.
SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE A CLIMB TO GET IN.
ALRIGHT, WELL, UM, DO YOU WANNA WRITE IT DOWN OR YOU WANT A VERBAL VOTE? WHAT DO YOU WANT? DO VERBAL.
WHO WANTS OPTION ONE? OPTION ONE.
WELL, THANK YOU FOR, WON'T BE BORED.
I THINK IT'S, UH, IT'S ALRIGHT.
UM, IS THAT IT? ON ON THAT KELLY IS DISCUSSION OF FIELD MAINTENANCE OF WHAT FIELD MAINTENANCE WILL LOOK LIKE FROM ARON LOPEZ.
UM, STAFF WILL JUST BE ADDING THE PRIMROSE TO THEIR, UH, MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
THEY'LL BE MAINTAINING THE PARK ONCE A WEEK, UH, CONSISTING OF TRASH THROUGHOUT THE PARK.
UH, CUTTING THE GRASS, CUTTING THE, YOU KNOW, THE BASEBALL FIELDS, UH, DOING THE, YOU KNOW, EDGING, BLOWING, UM, DRAGGING THE DIRT.
UM, ARE YOU GONNA DRAG IT? YES, WE HAVE A DRAGGER.
UM, MAINTAINING THE INFIELDS, UH, STRIPING THE LINES.
WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA USE PAINT THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE IT'S DIRT AND RIGHT.
THE PAINT WILL PROBABLY LAST A LITTLE LONGER.
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA EVENTUALLY BUY A CHALKER AND START CHALKING THE FIELDS.
UM, ANYWAY, THAT AND, UM, MAINTAINING THE RESTROOMS, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THEY'RE CLEAN AND, YOU KNOW, IN, IN SHAPE EVERY WEEK.
UM, ON AN ADDED TASK WE'LL DO THE AERATING OF THE FIELDS.
UH, WE'LL BE CHECKING FOR, UM, INSECT AND WE'LL DO INSECT CONTROL.
WE'LL DO, UH, FERTILIZING, YOU KNOW, PRE-EMERGENT, POST EMERGENT, UM, IRRIGATION.
WE TAKE CARE OF IRRIGATION, WE'LL BE MAINTAINING IT AS NEEDED.
UH, PUBLIC WORKS AS A GOOD STAFF THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF IT.
GOT A QUESTION ABOUT THE DIRT.
WE, I KNOW I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO GO OUT THERE ON THE DIRT, BUT I LOOKED AT THE DIRT AND UH, IT'S GOT A LOT OF PEBBLES IN IT.
A LOT, A LOT, A LOT OF LOT LIKE, AND, AND I'M ON DIRT EVERY WEEKEND IN MY LIFE.
AND SO I WAS LIKE, ROCKS, JUST PEBBLES, ROCKS, PEBBLES, WOOD CHUNKS.
SO IS THAT NORMAL ON THE FIRST? AM I MISSING SOMETHING I'VE NEVER BEEN A PART OF.
WELL THEY, THEY WERE OUT THERE YESTERDAY RE REGRADING REGRADING AND WE HAD A LOT OF THE, FROM THE RAIN, A LOT OF THE GOOD SOIL GOT WASHED AWAY, BUT I THINK THEY ENDED UP, I NEED TO GO OUT THERE.
I THINK THEY ENDED UP MAKING IT LOOK BETTER.
BUT THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE WE'RE GONNA BE DOING.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE BUYING THE UH, THE RED CLAY.
WE'RE GONNA BUILD A LITTLE STOCKPILE AREA THERE WHERE WE KEEP LOADS OF, UH, RED CLAY AND SOME SAND AND SOME DIRT, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER WE NEED.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LITTLE STOCKPILE AREA THERE FOR THE, FOR THE, I KNOW THE RED DIRT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'LL BE USING QUITE A BIT.
WE'LL BUY SOME SOIL CONDITIONER TO PUT OUT AS NEEDED WHENEVER IT'S A LITTLE WET, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE WE WILL BE WATERING THE FIELD.
THE INFIELD WILL HAVE A HOSE OUT THERE ON SITE FOR, FOR US TO USE AND FOR THE LEAGUE TO USE ALSO.
YEAH, BECAUSE UH, I SAW THAT AND I WAS LIKE, WELL MAYBE THAT'S JUST THE FIRST LAYER AND THEY'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
OR MAYBE THERE'S, THERE WAS A LOT OF EROSION FROM THE HEAVY RAIN LAST FRIDAY, BUT HE'S NOT ABOUT THE EROSION'S, JUST EROSION.
WELL THEY, AFTER THEY TURNED THE DIRT WHEN THEY GRADE IT, THEY SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT SOME OF THE SAND BACK UP.
BUT IF WE, IF WE NEED TO ADD MORE, WE WILL.
I JUST WANNA ADD DIRT WITH NO ROCKS IN IT.
WELL, I MEAN LIKE, I GOT VIDEOS OF IT.
WE SHOULD GO OUT THERE AGAIN TOMORROW.
'CAUSE BEFORE THE LEAGUE STARTS, LIKE WE CAN'T HAVE IT LIKE THAT.
I THOUGHT MAYBE, MAYBE THERE'S A SECOND STEP THAT NEEDS TO COME ON IT.
LIKE WHERE IT'S JUST, JUST DIRT.
I GUESS I GOT MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIKE, WHAT IS ALL THAT? I'M LIKE, F**K.
I'M LIKE THROWING THE ROCKS UP.
YEAH, I GUESS WHAT YOU WERE SEEING IS THE RESULT OF THE RED, THE GOOD DIRT WASHING AWAY AFTER THE BIG RAIN.
[00:35:01]
LEFT LEAVING ALL THE, NO, NO, I THINK WHAT THE WEAK, THE DIRT WAS LAID.
THERE WAS TONS OF CHUNKS OF ROCK AND WOOD AND JUST DEBRIS, LIKE CRAZY STUFF.
SO I REMEMBER DAX AND I TALKED, WE'RE LIKE, OH, WELL WE, MAYBE THIS IS LIKE STEP ONE, THAT'S THE BASIS FOR THE RED DIRT.
AND THEN THE RED DIRT COMES ON TOP OF IT AND IT PROVIDES STABILITY.
UM, I JUST THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF LIKE, WE NEED TO GO THROUGH AND JUST PICK UP THE DEBRIS THAT'S IN THE, IN THE, THE, WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THAT? THE RUNNING AREAS THE KIDS ARE RUNNING.
I MEAN THERE'S JUST HUGE ROCKS AND PIECES OF LIKE, STUFF THAT SHOULDN'T BE THERE.
AND I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE VISIBLE NOW AFTER THE DELUGE OF RAIN.
UM, BUT I, I THINK IT TRULY IS JUST SOMEBODY GOING OUT THERE.
WE NEED TO PICK THAT DEBRIS AND RAKE IT AND GET IT OUTTA THERE.
WE'LL CHECK THAT OUT BECAUSE I LITERALLY BOUGHT A BIG DRAGGER BEHIND 'CAUSE I WAS LIKE, WE WE'RE HAVE TO DRAG THIS THING.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BECAUSE, UH, I PROMISE YOU'RE NOT OVERREACTING.
IT'S LIKE IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, I HAVE ANOTHER CONCERN AND AS WE START WORKING THE FIELDS MORE, WE'RE GONNA GET RID OF THE DEBRIS.
THE DRAGER WILL PICK UP SOME OF THOSE PEBBLES THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THERE TO BEGIN WITH.
BUT WE'RE, ONCE WE START WORKING IT MORE OFTEN, I STOPPED THE GRAND OPENING.
I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, LIKE THIS.
AND WE ONLY WORKED IT A FEW TIMES BEFORE GRAND OPENING.
WE WERE EXPECTING THE CONTRACTOR WOOD, BUT THERE WAS JUST THAT LAPSE, LIKE I SAID, WITH THE CONTRACTOR CHANGING SOME OF THEIR PROJECT MANAGERS.
AND DIDN'T GET DRAGGED AS MUCH IT SHOULD HAVE.
AND IF YOU WANT A VOLUNTEER DAY WHERE PEOPLE JUST GO OUT THERE AND PICK UP THE ROCKS, I'LL VOLUNTEER ALL DAY LONG TO TAKE MY LITTLE BUCKET AND PICK 'EM UP.
BUT WE JUST GOTTA GET THAT STUFF OUT THERE.
I LITERALLY ABSOLUTELY HAD 15, UH, RAKES FOR THE, UH, AND MEAN AMAZON.
THEY'RE LIKE CRAZY HOW CHEAP THEY'RE, I WAS LIKE $8 15 RAKES.
WE'LL ALL KNOCK THAT STUFF OUT.
WHEN YOU START RAKING IT WITH THOSE RAKES THAT WILL SIFT OUT THE ROCKS.
PARENTS THOUGHT IT MAY BE A STEP PRO.
I'VE NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN LIKE BUILDING A BASEBALL FIELD, SO MAYBE THEY'RE LIKE, THAT'S THE FIRST STEP.
D HANG ON, FRESH START COMES ON TOP.
WELL AND FOR THE PICTURES MOUND YOU MENTIONED THERE'S GONNA BE SOME DIRT, YOU KNOW, UH, PILES THAT THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.
IF YES, THERE'S NEED TO BE BROUGHT IN AND BUILD THAT BACK UP AS NATURALLY.
YOU BUILD IT, IT'S GONNA WEAR IT OUT.
'CAUSE 'CAUSE IT'S GONNA, YOU KNOW, IT'LL, WE JUST, JUST A LITTLE CHEAP TARP WASHED AWAY.
HEY, JUST TO BE SURE EVERYBODY'S AWARE THAT GRAND OPENING'S BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL JUNE 13TH, RIGHT? MM-HMM
AS FAR AS LEAKS, JUST ASK IT THE QUESTION, WILL THEY BE IN CHARGE OF EMPTYING THE GARBAGE THAT'S THE EACH TIME OR IS IT SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO? WELL, WE'RE GONNA HAVE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOMEONE THERE ON CALL THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND.
SO THEY'LL BE MAINTAINING TRASH PERIODICALLY.
THEY PUT GAMES ON MONDAY NIGHT, TUESDAY NIGHT, WEDNESDAY NIGHT, THURSDAY NIGHT, FRIDAY NIGHT.
WE HAVE, WE HAVE STEP ON CALL THAT WE'LL BE WORKING.
UH, IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY IN THE RSA FOR ANYONE WHO'S RENTING IT TO CLEAR OUT TRASH CANS AT THE END OF THANK YOU.
OH, PUT WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IT IS.
THEN YOU CAN DO BUT ONCE A WEEK.
BUT LIKE ON THE TOURNAMENT WEEKEND, WE WILL HAVE STAFF.
BECAUSE OUR STUFF WILL BE PRETTY EASY.
IT'S, IT'S, IT'S THE TOURNAMENTS.
'CAUSE YOU'RE THERE ALL DAY LONG.
YOU'RE LIKE, YOU GO TO THE CONCESSION STAND NONSTOP AND IT, BUT FOR LITTLE LEAGUE, I MEAN IT'S, THEY'LL BE LIKE, YOU CAN WAIT.
WHERE IS THE LOCATION THAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR? LIKE, THE LARGER DUMPSTER THAT THOSE GARBAGE BAGS WOULD BE TOSSED IN? IT'S THERE NOW.
IS IT? IT'S IN THE PARKING LOT.
I'M SURE IT'S NOT GONNA IS IT GONNA STAY IN THE PARKING LOT? YEAH, IT'S IN A, IT'S IN A CONTAINED AREA.
LIKE A, LIKE A, THERE'S ANY CLOSURE AROUND IT.
UM, THERE'S NO, I WAS FOCUSED ON DIRT.
I I DIDN'T SEE IT WHEN I WENT OUT THERE LAST TIME.
HOW OFTEN WILL THE BATHROOMS BE CLEANED? DO YOU KNOW? 'CAUSE 'CAUSE JUST, JUST, I'M JUST CURIOUS.
WE'RE WE'RE GONNA GO THERE DAILY.
JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, GOOD LITTLE BOY TAKING PEE, YOU KNOW.
DISCUSSION OF NEW LOCATION FOR FIRST AID BUILDING AT PARK IS ALTER ALTERNATIVE IDEA.
ORIGINALLY PROPOSED FROM SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE.
SO THIS IS SOMETHING WE WANTED TO PROPOSE, UM, AS A ALTERNATIVE FOR THE FIRST AID BUILDING THAT SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE IS LOOKING TO HAVE AT THE PARK.
SO AS OF RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A 20 BY 40, UH, CONEX OVER HERE THAT IS FOR PUBLIC WORKS, UM, EQUIPMENT.
UM, SO THIS IS NEAR WHERE THE DUMPSTER IS IN THE PARK.
AND THEN THE PLAN, ONCE WE HAVE BATTING CAGES IS THEY'LL GO OVER HERE AND THEN INSTEAD OF A PLAYGROUND, WE COULD LOOK INTO ADDING A FIRST A BUILDING WITH,
[00:40:01]
YOU KNOW, AC POTENTIALLY PLUMBING, UM, IN THIS SPACE IN LIEU OF PUTTING SOMETHING OVER HERE.AND THEN WE COULD DO A SMALL PLAYGROUND FEATURE ON THE SIDE OVER HERE BETWEEN FIELDS A AND C.
JUST WANTED TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS POTENTIAL LOCATION.
AGAIN, TO ME THAT'S A FIRST AID STATION FOR THE WHOLE PARK.
AND THAT IF WE MOVE IT THERE, IT'S EVEN FURTHER AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE PARK.
I MEAN I I KNOW THE MAJORITY OF TIME IT WILL BE BASEBALL PEOPLE, BUT IT'S ALSO THE ONLY, IT WOULD BE THE ONLY FIRST AID STATION IN THE PARK.
YEAH, I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT ONE.
IT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE CENTRALLY LOCATED FOR SURE.
'CAUSE THAT'S JUST GONNA BE, I MEAN, IT NEEDS TO BE NEAR BASEBALL FIELDS.
BUT NOT, I MEAN WE'VE TAKE, WE'VE TAKEN IT WAY FAR AWAY FROM ANYTHING ELSE IN THE PARK.
NOW WE NEED TO KEEP IT DOWN IN THE LOWER CORNER.
THE UH, NOW THE BATTING CAGES, WE WOULDN'T WANT PUT THE BATTING CAGES BETWEEN THE TWO FIELDS AND THE GREEN SPOTS OVER THERE.
SO ONE THING WE KIND OF DISCUSSED WITH THE RELOCATION OF THE BATTING CAGE IS THAT YOU CREATE A LOT OF TRAFFIC BETWEEN TEAMS COMING ON AND GOING OFF.
AND THE PARENTS OF THOSE TEAMS. IF YOU PUT THE BATTING CAGES BETWEEN THE FIELDS THAT ARE ALREADY GOING AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE SEEN IN OTHER CITIES, UM, OF HAVING THAT CONGESTION, ESPECIALLY JUST KIDS WAITING TO START THEIR GAMES.
AND IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE FOUR TEAMS WAITING AND THEY'RE ALL GONNA TRY TO USE THE BATTING CAGES.
THEY'RE ALL GONNA BE WARMING UP.
SO IT JUST CREATES A LOT OF, UH, JUST TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA.
SO, SO YOU'LL NEVER HAVE PARENTS HANGING OUT OUT HERE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO SIT IN THE GRASS.
THE PARENTS ARE ALWAYS GONNA CONGREGATE RIGHT HERE BECAUSE IT'S CONCRETE IN THE BLEACHERS.
SO THE, THE BAT CASES WILL BE BACK HERE.
NOBODY HANGS OUT BACK HERE IN, IN THE GRASS AREAS.
SO ANOTHER THING I WILL ADD FOR THAT IS THAT WHAT'S THIS PICTURE'S NOT DEPICTING IS THAT WE HAVE A DRAINAGE INLET FOR SURFACE DRAINAGE FOR WATER.
SO YOU'RE, WE'RE GONNA MAY HAVE TO RELOCATE A COUPLE OF UTILITIES, WHICH IS GONNA BE PRICEY FOR THOSE BAD OCCASION.
UM, AND WE COULD TRY TO MAKE THAT WORK.
BUT JUST KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF CONFLICTS THAT GO IN THE FURTHER BACK.
YOU PUT THOSE FIELDS AND WE HAVE A SWELL ALL THE WAY AROUND JEFF'S FIELDS ON THAT PORTION, UM, THAT KIND OF JUST BORDER THE, THOSE EDGES.
PUT THAT OUT AND JUST PUT THE BATTING CAGE RIGHT HERE.
WHAT'S THAT? THAT THAT'S THE PITCHING.
UTILIZE VERY MUCH AT THIS AGE.
WHAT IS, THAT'S MY SUGGESTION.
SO, SO THAT IS A BULLPEN THAT'S NOT THERE.
IT WAS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED IN THE PAST.
SO THAT'S NOT CURRENTLY THERE.
WELL THAT IF YOU GO TO BASEBALL FIELD AND I'M START TAKING PICTURES OF RANDOM YOU, BUT YOU'RE GONNA SEE EVERY BASEBALL FIELD OVER HERE.
NOBODY HAS BAD CAGES OVER HERE.
SO YOUR DAUGHTER TELLING ME THAT'S NORMAL, THAT'S NOT NORMAL ALL I MEAN, YOU COULD DO IT.
I MEAN YOU COULD PUT 'EM OVER HERE IF YOU WANTED TO, BUT THIS IS WHERE THE BASEBALL'S AT.
THIS IS WHERE THE, THE, THE, THE, UH, THIS NEEDS TO BE HERE.
SO SINCE YOU'RE LOCATED HERE, THIS NEEDS TO BE ALL AIR CONDITIONING AND STUFF LIKE THAT OUT OF THE WAY AND NOT BE HERE.
I THINK THE PAST CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD, UM, LOSING SOME OF THE PITCHING WARMUP AREAS TO ME FOR COST SAVINGS IS COMPLETELY FINE.
AND SO THE PRIORITY TO ME NEEDS TO BE THESE BATTING CAGES.
AND I I UNDERSTAND THERE'S SOME CONSTRAINTS.
I BELIEVE WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IS PLAN EAST IS WHERE ALL THE PIPELINE STUFF IS ON BOTH SIDES.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST PLAN EAST NOT WEST.
TO ME, IF YOU TO D'S POINT, MOST BATTING CAGES ARE GONNA BE KIND OF IN THE HEART OF IT THAT THEY'RE BATTING, THEY'RE WAITING FOR THE GAME TO WRAP UP.
WE'RE OUTTA THE CAGE NOW VERSUS SO REMOVED THAT YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOUR TEAMS THAT'S ON YOUR, ON YOUR FIELD'S DONE YET OR NOT DONE.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT, WHAT AREAS DO ALREADY HAVE THE PITCHING WARMUP.
IF WE LOST PITCHING WARMUP FOR THE, THE SAKE OF PUTTING IN THE BATTING CAGES ON EITHER OF THOSE MIDDLE PIECES.
I THINK IT'S JUST A MUCH BETTER LOCATED RIGHT IDEA.
I REALLY LIKE HAVING THE, THE FIRST AID STATION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BASEBALL PARKS.
BUT IF THERE IS TRULY JUST ONE FIRST AID STATION, I FEEL LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CENTRAL, MORE CENTRALIZED.
UM, BA BACK TO THE ORIGINAL CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAD, THAT IT CAN BE UTILIZED FOR THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE PARK OUTSIDE OF BASEBALL.
UM, AND I FEEL LIKE IF YOU PUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BASEBALL A PARK, THAT'S A, THAT'S A TREK IF YOU'RE OVER AT THE AMPHITHEATER.
PLUS IF THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON WITH BASEBALL AND SOMETHING AT THE AMPHITHEATER MM-HMM.
THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND THAT.
TRYING TO GET AN E SOMETHING THROUGH A CROWD OF PEOPLE.
ALL THE, YOU HAVE ALL THESE THINGS OVER THERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FIELD AND THESE PEOPLE ARE GONNA GET HURT PLAYING ON THESE
[00:45:01]
TOO.SO GUYS LIKE WE'RE GOING BACKWARDS ON ALL THAT.
LIKE I THOUGHT WE ALREADY HAD ALL THAT FIGURED OUT AND I, I DO THINK THE PLAYGROUND IN THE MIDDLE, IF WE WANNA EVALUATE, THEY'RE GOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN THE MIDDLE AS TIME GOES ON, I'M ALL FOR IT.
I JUST THINK FOR THE, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ENTIRE PARK TO PUT THE FIRST, THE ONE AND ONLY FIRST AID STATION IN THE MIDDLE I THINK IS A LITTLE, KEEP IT DOWN FURTHER SOUTH.
IT'S A STRETCH IS BUT I THOUGHT, I THOUGHT WE ALREADY HAD ALL THAT PART FIGURED OUT.
WHY ARE WE MA WHY WERE WE DO, WHY WERE YOU DOING THAT? IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT SIR.
IT'S MORE THAN JUST THE FIRST AID.
AND I WANNA GO JUST REITERATE THAT Y'ALL TALKED ABOUT FIRST STORAGE AS WELL.
MM-HMM
AND SO THERE WAS A LOT OF OTHER THINGS COMPONENTS TO NOT JUST BEING A FIRST AID STATION BUT ALSO WHERE WE'RE GONNA PUT THE CONTROLLERS FOR THE BASEBALL FIELDS ARE GONNA HAVE 'EM IN A FURTHER LOCATION FURTHER OUT.
UM, LIKE FOR THE SCOREBOARDS AND ALL THOSE, ALL THAT TYPE OF THING.
SO THERE'S A FEW OTHER COMPONENTS BEYOND JUST BEING A FIRST AID NOW WE CAN REEVALUATE.
WE JUST FELT LIKE, UM, IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE THIS UM, MULTI-USE BUILDING THAT INCLUDED FIRST AID, IT MAY BE WORTHWHILE TO HAVE IT AT THE CENTER OF THE FIELDS.
THAT WAY WE CAN KEEP ALL THE BASEBALL COMPONENTS IN THAT CENTER PORTION.
BUT IF Y'ALL ARE LOOKING AT FOR US TO GO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION ON THAT, WE CAN DEFINITELY REEVALUATE.
UM, JUST UNDERSTANDING THERE'S GONNA BE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT NUANCES THAT WILL BE ENCUMBERED THE MOMENT, REMOVE THOSE PIECES OUT.
CAN YOU PUT THE BASEBALL THINGS IN THE BUILDING IN THE MIDDLE AND THEN THE FIRST AID, ANOTHER SMALLER FIRST AID BUILDING BACK AT THE ORIGINAL PLACE.
SO JUST FOR ANYONE WHO MAY BE LISTENING, I WANNA GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THIS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE'S SOME COMMENTS THAT HAVE WE ALREADY GONE THROUGH THIS.
UM, AND I DON'T WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE STAFF IS JUST DUMB AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
SO WE DID ORIGINALLY START WITH AN EFFORT OF A MORE FIRST AID CENTRIC LOCATION.
UM, BUT THEN IN HAVING DISCUSSIONS WITH DAX AND WITH KIM AND OTHER MEMBERS OF RE LITTLE LEAGUE, THERE WAS A DESIRE TO LOOK AT KIND OF A FIELD HOUSE.
NOT AN ELABORATE ONE, BUT SOMETHING WHERE THERE COULD BE SOME OFFICE SPACE.
UM, A SPOT FOR UMPIRES CAME UP A LOT EVEN IN SOME OF THESE DISCUSSIONS HERE WITH THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION.
AND SO WE WERE LOOKING AT A WAY TO HAVE A FIRST AID SPOT THAT THEN COULD ALSO GROW AND HAVE THESE OTHER USES.
AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE SUGGESTED MOVING IT FROM MORE SOUTH OF THE PARK TO BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK.
SO THAT WAY YOUR UMPIRES, PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING TO TALK TO SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE AREN'T TREKKING DOWN OFFSITE.
IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE FOR SOMEONE.
I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE FROM LITTLE LEAGUE TO KIND OF COME TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF A PARK.
SO THAT WAS THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND THAT.
BUT AS FAR AS STAFF, I THINK WE'RE FINE.
AS LONG AS ENGINEERING MONEY, BUDGET AND ALL THAT WORKS WHERE WE CAN BRING IT BACK TO A MORE SOUTHERLY LOCATION, THAT IS COMPLETELY FINE IF THAT'S WHAT THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION WOULD LIKE US TO LOOK AT.
BUT THAT WAS JUST SOME OF THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF WHY STAFF WAS SUGGESTING A MOVE MAYBE TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE FIELDS.
AND I APPRECIATE THAT THE CENTER OF THE FIELD'S TOO SMALL, THAT LITTLE GRASS AREA IS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO HAVE LIKE, SOME OF THE BASEBALL FIELDS.
I LOVE BASEBALL FIELDS THAT HAVE A BIG THING IN THE MIDDLE.
UH, A LOT OF BIG, BUT I DON'T THINK OURS ARE QUITE BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD THAT BECAUSE IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT OF, IT'S GONNA FORCE THE PARENTS TO REALLY START PUSHING OUT BECAUSE IT'LL BE BIG.
BUT I DO LIKE WHEN IT'S ESSENTIALLY LOCATED FOR SURE.
I JUST DON'T KNOW IF OURS IS BIG ENOUGH.
'CAUSE WE HAVE THAT GREEN AREA, SO I JUST DON'T THINK, I DON'T, I I JUST, AND THEN THE OTHER PART IS LIKE, WE GOTTA SHARE THE, WITH THE OTHER PART OF THE PARK.
THAT WAS MY THING AND I WASN'T TRYING TO DOWNPLAY IT ON THAT.
I'M TALKING ABOUT LIKE THE, THE, THE COMMON SENSE ABOUT THE BATTING CAGES.
LIKE GUYS, LIKE WE GOTTA PUT IT THAT WAY THAT THAT WAS MY THING.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE OKAY.
IS IT FINANCIALLY, FINANCIALLY POSSIBLE TO DO BOTH? LIKE ONE IN THE MIDDLE FOR THE BASEBALL THINGS AND THEN ONE THAT'S JUST FIRST AID? MORE THAN LIKELY NOT, AT LEAST NOT IN THIS, THIS PHASE THREE.
NOW, IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANTED TO LOOK AT, AT A FINANCIAL PARTNERSHIP WITH FULL SURE LITTLE LEAGUE OR OTHER SPONSORSHIPS, WE COULD LOOK AT MAYBE RESERVING THAT MIDDLE AREA AND HAVING A FUTURE BUILDING GO THERE.
WE CAN DEFINITELY KEEP CONTINUE ITERATION OF THE PARK AS WE FIND THESE DIFFERENT NEEDS.
BUT AS FAR AS RIGHT NOW, I DON'T BELIEVE WE WOULD HAVE IT IN OUR ORIGINAL BOND DOLLARS TO DO TWO DIFFERENT STRUCTURES.
ESPECIALLY IF WE START ADDING ANY SORT OF PLUMBING OR ELECTRICAL WORK IN THEM.
THE CONTROLS CAN BE AT THE, UM, CONCESSION, CONCESSION STAND.
WE CAN DEFINITELY KEEP THEM LOCKED UP BECAUSE HERE'S THE REASON WHY IF YOU, IF YOU FILL IN THAT MIDDLE AREA, THAT WILL FORCE THE LITTLES OVER TOWARDS THE BATTING CAGES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
'CAUSE THEY'LL HAVE NO PLACE TO PLAY.
YOU NEED THAT AREA OPEN FOR ALL THE KIDS TO BE THERE.
SO THAT WAY WHEN YOU PUT THROW ALL THE FAMILIES ARE THERE.
THAT WAY IF YOU DO HAVE THE BATTING CAGES BETWEEN THE FIELDS, THERE WON'T BE OTHER KIDS.
IF YOU CLOG THAT UP, THEY'RE GONNA, IT'S GONNA PUSH 'EM OUT.
I THINK THE CITY HAS DONE AN AWESOME JOB WITH THE AMOUNT OF DIFFERENT VARIATIONS THAT HAVE HAPPENED.
SO I THINK ALL OF US WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, IT'S NOT BEING PERCEIVED THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT PARKS AND REC COMMISSION HAVE ASKED.
SO PLEASE KNOW THAT WE APPRECIATE
[00:50:01]
ALL THE HARD WORK, UM, FOR THE ENTIRE PARK THOUGH.I JUST, WHAT I'M STRUGGLING WITH IS IF IT TRULY IS A FIRST AID SITUATION AND YOU'RE IN THE SOUTHERN END OF THE PARK, THAT'S QUITE A TREK.
UM, BUT I, I, I MEAN I WOULD LOVE TO SEE BOTH, BUT IT'S COST PROHIBITIVE.
I JUST WONDER IF THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE INVESTIGATION THAT WE DO ON WHAT TRULY GOES IN A BUILDING THAT WOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BASEBALL PARK.
IF THERE'S SOME WAY TO HAVE A SMALLER FIRST AID DOCKING SOMEWHERE THAT MAYBE ISN'T AS ELABORATE BUT STILL PROVIDES IF THERE'S AN EVENT THAT'S HAPPENING ON THE SOUTH SIDE, A PLACE FOR THE AMBULANCES TO PARK AND A PLACE TO GO THAT JUST IS LESS GRANDIOSE BUT HAS SOME SORT OF SOMETHING THERE.
I FEEL LIKE WE'RE NOT THERE YET.
WELL, THE SIZE OF ONE OF THOSE HOME DEPOT IN THE HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT, THOSE SHEDS THAT THEY SELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT PUT IN AIR CONDITIONING, PUT IN THE, THE EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT YOU DON'T NEED.
WE NEED TO REALLY BIG NEED TO HAVE EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT ON BOTH SIDES.
I HATE TO TELL YOU THAT, BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING IN PHASE THREE DOWN BY THE UH, I THINK WE DO, I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THAT WITH THE A ED.
THAT'S WHY I'M THINKING ABOUT, WE HAVE ONE THAT'S, UM, STATIC AND THEN ONE THAT'S MOBILE, I THINK.
I KNOW WE, WE, I KNOW WE PLAN TO HAVE A ED AEDS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PARK LOCATION.
WILL MOST LIKELY BE NEAR THE RESTROOMS IF I HAD TO GUESS.
UM, THAT'S JUST TYPICALLY A SPOT WHERE PEOPLE KNOW TO GO TO GRAB THOSE.
SO I THINK SOME SORT OF SAFETY STATION ON NORTH AND SOUTH IS DESIRABLE.
I THINK WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT, AND IT MAY BE THAT ONE COMES BEFORE THE OTHER, UM, BUT I, I THINK IT'S JUST SOMETHING WE REALLY NEED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT IF SOMEBODY'S, YOU KNOW, HAVING A MOMENT DOWN AT THE AMPHITHEATER FOR TO THINK THEY'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO GET ALL THE WAY UP THERE IS JUST A STRETCH.
AND IT COULD BE THAT FOR THOSE EVENTS, THERE'S A SAFETY PLAN THAT HAS THE AMBULANCES LINED UP AND IT'S MUCH MORE CLOSER AND IT'S A MUCH MORE, NOT, NOT AN ELEMENT, NOT A THING.
BUT I I JUST BEFORE I CAN SAY YEAH, LET'S ABSOLUTELY PUT ALL OF OUR DOLLARS IN THE CENTER OF THE PARK UP HERE.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF PLAN FOR THE SOUTH SIDE FOR PHASE THREE.
BUT I LIKE THE IDEA AND THE CONCEPT AND JUST TO, AGAIN, I MEAN AS WE GROW INTO THIS PARK, IT'LL EVOLVE.
IT'LL CONTINUE TO GROW TO WHAT THE NEEDS ARE FOR SHORE.
AND THAT'S PROBABLY GONNA CHANGE, HAVE ITERATIONS BEYOND THAT OF HOW IT'S GONNA CHANGE.
SO I THINK THE IMMEDIATE ONE FOR AMPHITHEATER, YOU DO HAVE THE EMERGENCY EMT SERVICES THAT ARE GONNA BE THERE.
AND THAT'S PRETTY TYPICAL FOR EVENTS.
AND ESPECIALLY EVEN IF WE NEED FIRETRUCK OR ANY TYPE OF OTHER EMT, YOU HAVE A PATHWAY IN PHASE THREE TO BRING THEM IN AND GET THEM OUT.
AND AGAIN, WE HAVE BOLLARDS NOW THAT ARE GONNA BE UM, FOR ALL NORMAL PEDESTRIANS, BUT YOU CAN ALSO, WE HAVE REMOVABLE ONES FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS.
SO WE ARE TAKING THOSE THINGS INTO ACCOUNT.
UM, BUT I THINK I, THE ONLY THING I WOULD KIND OF SHY AWAY FROM IS HOME DEPOT SHED BUILDINGS,
THAT WOULD BE MORE STRUCTURAL SOUNDS SIZE, SIZE WISE.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO COMPARE SIZE.
AND WE, WHEN Y'ALL SAID 10 BY 10, I THINK PARKS AND REC WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE FIRST, UM, THE OFFICE SPACE.
SO IN ABOUT 10 TO 10, 10 BY 10 OR 12 BY 12, THAT WOULD FIT IN THAT CENTER CIRCLE, WHICH STILL AREA AROUND IT.
SO IT IS DECEIVINGLY LARGER THAN WHAT WE KIND OF THINK ABOUT WHEN WE SEE IT.
IT, SO YEAH, THERE ARE SOME OPTIONS AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE KIND OF TRYING TO FLESH OUT.
WHAT ARE THOSE OPTIONS THAT ARE NOT GONNA BREAK THE BUDGET THAT WE CAN STILL GET PHASE THREE MOVING AND WE MIGHT NEED SOME PARTNERSHIP AND SPONSORSHIPS POSSIBLY IN THE FUTURE TO GET THE FULL ITERATION OF WHAT Y'ALL'S IDEAS ARE.
SO WE HAVEN'T DRAWN UP THE PLANS FOR THE, THE BUILDING THAT WE ARE TALKING WITH.
SO THAT'S NOT EVEN WORKS FOR? NOT YET.
THIS IS ALL JUST, YOU KNOW, IS THERE ANY ELECTRICAL IN THE MIDDLE? THERE IS ELECTRICAL IN THE MIDDLE.
THE ONLY THING THAT'S NOT, UM, ACCESSIBLE IN THE MIDDLE IS, UM, UTILITIES, DRAINAGE OR SEWER.
WHERE'S YOUR EQUIPMENT TO MOW? EVERYTHING GONNA BE STORED? IS IT GONNA BE STORED ON THE BASEBALL PREMISE ON YOUR BASEBALL FIELD? AS FAR AS OUR EQUIPMENT? YES.
YOU HOUSES EVERY, IT'S PROBABLY OVER THERE.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE A STORAGE.
WE'RE GONNA KEEP SOME EQUIPMENT BUT AS FAR AS, IT'S LITERALLY ACROSS THE STREET AT THE WATER PLANT DOWN.
I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE HAVE A CONEX WE'RE GONNA KEEP EQUIPMENT IN.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE, GET SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON THE PROPERTY IF WE NEEDED.
'CAUSE IF THAT'S NOT GONNA BE BUILT, WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY PLACE TO STORE STUFF FOR A LONG TIME.
ON A POSITIVE IT DOES REMOVE YOU FROM ANY EVENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING ON THE SOUTH END THAT IF YOU NEEDED LIKE A COMMAND STATION THAT'S COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM ANY OF THAT NOISE.
SO I, I FEEL LIKE IT'S A GOOD OPTION.
I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO KIND OF CONTINUE TO, TO MASSAGE WHAT THAT LOOKS
[00:55:01]
LIKE AND FEELS LIKE WITH THE DOLLARS.BUT I MEAN WE NEED A FIRST AID STATION, WHETHER IT'S ON THE NORTH OR THE SOUTH.
ALRIGHT, ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT
[Business – D]
ITEM D FULL SURE.LITTLE LEAGUE DISCUSSION OF RSA AGREEMENT OF RE LITTLE LEAGUE ED PRIMROSE PARK.
SO WE WILL BE PRESENTING THIS TO COUNSEL THIS UPCOMING MEETING AS WELL.
BUT WITH THE RSA AGREEMENT COMES A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO, UH, SEE HOW THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION FEELS ABOUT IT.
SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND MY COMPUTER IS GLITCHING.
ME PERSONALLY OF FOLKS THAT AREN'T INVOLVED IN SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE.
AND THEN IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS I MOST CERTAINLY CAN KIND OF CHIME IN.
BUT I FEEL LIKE I'M A LITTLE, UM, THERE'S, THERE'S SOME COMPETING INTERESTS THAT ARE HAPPENING FOR ME WITHIN THIS, THIS ITEM.
SO I'M GONNA KIND OF BE SILENT UNLESS CALLED UPON.
I HAVE HAD SOME PEOPLE ASK ME QUESTIONS IF THEY COULD START, IF THEY HAVE KIDS THAT ARE 11 AND 12, COULD THEY GO OUT THERE AND START PLAYING BASEBALL WITH Y'ALL IN THE LEAGUES? IF THEY COULD PLAY BASEBALL IN OUR LEAGUE.
SO THE WAY, WAY IT WAS 12 TWELVES.
THEY'RE GONNA PROBABLY AGE OUT.
THE WAY THAT ONE, UH, BLURB WAS, IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU HAD TO BE UP TO EIGHT AND THEN IF YOU HAD A BROTHER AND SISTER THAT WAS OLDER, YOU COULD PLAY.
IT COULD BRING IF YOU'RE OUT OF DISTRICT.
SO IF YOU'RE LIKE LIVE IN WESTERN LAKES OR BRAS, THEN IF YOU'RE SEVEN YEARS OR YOUNGER, YOU CAN PLAY LITERAL LEAGUE ANYWHERE YOU WANT.
AND THEN YOUR SIBLINGS CAN COME FOR FREE.
YOU KNOW, FOR FREE WITHOUT IT, THEY, THEY CAN COME WITHOUT HAVING TO.
BUT IF SOMEBODY LIVES IN THE DISTRICT, SO TO SPEAK RIGHT.
AND THEY'RE 11 AND 12, THEN THEY CAN COME PLAY.
TWELVE'S GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT, IT DEPENDS ON HOW THEY AGE OUT BECAUSE WE HAVE THE LITTLE, WELL, 10 TO 12.
WE'RE GONNA TRY OUR BEST TO WELCOME EVERYBODY 'CAUSE NO, THAT'S FINE.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE SHE HAD ASKED ME AND I READ IT TO HER AND SHE SAID, WELL THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE WE COULD PLAY.
AND IT'S LIKE, NO, LET ME FIND OUT.
I'M GONNA ASK YOU SAY I KNOW A GUY AND THEN CALL ME.
I GET, I GET A THOUSAND CALLS, YOU KNOW.
SO THE FIRST QUESTION IS, DOES THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION RECOMMEND TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIREMENT THAT ONE FIELD REMAIN OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AT ALL TIMES AND HAVE THE PARK USED FIVE NIGHTS IN A ROW FROM FULCHER LITTLE LEAGUE? OR DO YOU PREFER TO HAVE ALL FIELDS IN USE FOR FOUR NIGHTS OR A POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVE? UM, I'LL, I PREFER TO HAVE ALL THE FIELDS IN USE FOR FOUR NIGHTS JUST BECAUSE THAT SEEMS STRANGE TO ME THAT THERE WOULD BE THREE GA THAT THERE COULD BE THREE GAMES GOING ON AND THEN ONE BEING USED FOR SOMETHING RANDOM.
WHEREAS IT SEEMS BETTER FOR LEAGUE PLAY IF IT'S ALL THE ALL FOUR FIELDS BEING USED.
ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT? THE LITTLES COULD USE THE SMALLER FIELD.
SO I'LL KIND OF FILL YOU IN ON THIS.
SO THE SMALLER FIELD IS STILL REALLY BIG.
WE DID ALL THE FIELDS AT 200 AND THEN, AND THEN I THINK TWO 10 OR 2 20, 2 25.
SO TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL FOR IT TO HAVE LIKE REAL TOURNAMENTS AND STUFF, YOU WANT TO HIT THAT.
SO THE LITTLES ARE GONNA BE LITTLE BITTY IN ON ALL THE FIELDS.
YOU CAN'T REALLY MOVE THE BASES UP.
'CAUSE IF YOU, IF YOU SHORTEN THE BASES, THEY'RE GONNA BE RUNNING OVER THE GRASS.
SO REALLY THE ONLY FIELD THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE OKAY TO PLAY WITH IS GONNA BE THE DART FIELD.
THE SOFTBALL ONE, ONE THE SOFTBALL FIELD.
SO YOU CAN MOVE UP THE BASES AND EVERYBODY CAN RUN REAL EASY AND IT'S JUST EASIER LIKE THAT.
SO IF WE DO KEEP THREE FIELDS IN ONE OFF TO THE RESIDENCE, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE LITTLE GUYS ARE GONNA REALLY PLAY ON MM-HMM
SO YOU KIND OF NEED, YOU NEED ALL FOUR FIELDS.
IT SEEMS LIKE YOU WOULD NEED ALL FOUR FIELDS IF YOU'RE DOING A LEAD LEAD NIGHT.
'CAUSE I KNOW IT SOUNDS FUNNY, BUT THEY GOT LITTLE STUBBY LEGS AND TRYING TO RUN THROUGH GRASS.
AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE MAKING FROM DIRT TURN INTO GRASS, THEY'RE LITERALLY EVERY TIME, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THEIR HAT FALLS DOWN, HUM UP FALLS DOWN AND THEY'RE LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO WE'RE, I WOULD VOTE PROBABLY WE NEED ALL FOUR FIELDS MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
'CAUSE IT GIVES YOU THE FLEXIBILITY.
YOU USUALLY DON'T HAVE LITTLE LEAGUE GAMES ON FRIDAY NIGHTS, DO YOU? I LIKE, I, I TRY NOT TO DO IT.
'CAUSE A LOT OF PARENTS WANNA GO HAVE DINNER AND SPEND TIME AS A FAMILY.
I I WANT YOU WOULD DO ALL SEVEN NIGHTS.
NO, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
BUT, UH, BUT NORMAL FAMILIES PROBABLY WANNA HAVE A, YOU KNOW, SOME FAMILY TIME NIGHTS.
WHAT DO YOU, YEAH, WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK? I WOULD DO FOUR NIGHTS.
I LIKE THE, I LIKE ALL, ALL FOUR NIGHTS.
WHETHER IT'S FOUR NIGHTS OR WHATEVER IT IS.
I JUST LIKE THE IDEA OF ALL FOUR BEING USED MAKES IT BETTER ON MAINTENANCE TOO.
[01:00:01]
LEAGUE ON THOSE NIGHTS.THE NEXT QUESTION IS ABOUT THE SPONSORSHIP WIND SCREENS AND ADVERTISING PANELS.
DOES THE PARKS AND REC, PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION RECOMMEND THE REQUESTED NUMBER OF SPONSORSHIP PANELS DESIRE TO ESTABLISH A REDUCED CAP PHASE SIGNAGE OVER TIME OR OTHER ALTERNATIVE? CURRENTLY THEY, WE ARE PROPOSING, UM, SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE TO HAVE TH UP TO 30 BANNERS PER FIELD, WHICH ARE WIND SCREENS.
UM, IN EACH, IN INSIDE THE FIELD, NOT OUTSIDE THE FIELD.
SO FOR THE PEOPLE THAT AREN'T AWARE, YOU CAN HAVE BANNERS THAT YOU GO GET FROM A LITTLE SIGN PLACE.
THEY'LL BE LIKE THREE FOOT BY FIVE FOOT, LIKE ON LITTLE LEAGUE FIELDS.
AND THE LITTLE LEAGUE FIELDS ARE USUALLY ABOUT THIS TALL.
AND YOU GET THOSE, YOU CAN GET 'EM REALLY CHEAP.
UM, WE OPTED TO GET THE WIND SCREENS, SO THEY LOOK FOR ONE THING.
OUR FIELD, OUR FENCES ARE EIGHT FEET TALL.
SO IF YOU PUT LIKE A LITTLE BANNER, IT'S GONNA LOOK, IT'S GONNA LOOK SILLY.
IT'LL JUST, SO WE HAD TO FILL UP THE WHOLE SPACE RIGHT.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE THE BANNERS REALLY, REALLY CLASSY LOOKING.
IT'S NOT GONNA HAVE A PICTURE OF A REALTOR GOING LIKE THIS.
LIKE SOME OF THE FIELDS
IT'LL, IT'LL BE LIKE A LOGO OF THE COMPANY AND MAYBE LIKE THE, THE WEB ADDRESS OR A CONTACT INFORMATION.
SO IT LOOKS REALLY CLASS AND PROFESSIONAL.
IT'S ALL GONNA BE SOMEWHAT UNIFORM SO IT DOESN'T, YOU KNOW, TRASH OUT.
HOW DO YOU WRITE THAT DOWN? YEAH.
SO THAT'S GONNA LOOK REALLY GOOD.
UM, HOW DO YOU, HOW DO YOU PUT THAT INTO WORDS FOR HER TO PUT IT? OH WELL, WELL I'M JUST KIND OF PAINTING A PICTURE.
SO THE WINDSCREENS, INSTEAD OF MA HAVING THEM DO ALL THE WINDSCREENS AND PAINT A LOT OF MONEY, WE DECIDED TO KIND OF TEAM UP AND SAY, HEY, WE'LL USE THE WINDSCREEN MATERIAL PROFESSIONAL STUFF AND THEN WE'LL ALSO DOUBLE IT UP WITH THE ADVERTISING ON IT.
TWO BIRDS, ONE STONE KIND OF DEAL LIKE THAT.
SO I GUESS THE QUESTION IS HOW DO WE ALLOCATE IT? D ONE, DO WE TRY TO DO ALL 30 AT ONE TIME? WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY, WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WE'RE GONNA SELL.
I MEAN, BECAUSE THESE ARE ALL ENTREPRENEURS, RIGHT? AND WHEN YOU SAY, HEY, THE BANNER'S 1250 A POP, THEY'RE LIKE, WHOA.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND SO WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING THROUGH IT.
I THINK ONCE WE HAVE THE GRAND OPENING AND THEN WE SEE ALL THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE COMING AND THEY'RE HAVING A PARTY, THEY'RE, THEY'RE LOVING IT.
THEY'RE GONNA BE LIKE, THIS IS GREAT.
HERE'S MY CHECKBOOK AND WE'LL GET MORE.
BUT AT THIS POINT WE DON'T HAVE 'EM ALL FILLED OUT AND I, WE HAVE MAYBE A, A THIRD OR A QUARTER OF 'EM FILLED UP.
SO WE WOULD HAVE TO SPACE 'EM.
CAN YOU GIVE US A LIST AS FAR AS, OR GIVE ME A LIST AS FAR AS WHO YOU ALREADY HAVE SO I KNOW, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY.
LIKE YOU'RE LIKE A GODFATHER OF, OF RE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO WE WE'RE NOT GOING THERE.
I JUST WANNA KNOW HOW MANY WHO YOU'VE GOT.
SO I KNOW WHO TO PUT THE HAMMER ON
NO, WE NEED, WE, WE REALLY NEED THAT.
'CAUSE IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A JOINT EFFORT.
RIGHT? AND, AND HERE'S THE THING ABOUT FULCHER.
THE ONLY MONEY WE MAKE IS FROM THAT.
THE LITTLE LEAGUE SIGNUPS THAT JUST COVERS JERSEYS AND BASIC STUFF LIKE THAT.
OR ELSE KENNY'S GONNA BE WRITING A DONATION CHECK TO FULL LITTLE LEAGUE
ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE, UH, THIS MAY BE OFF TOPIC.
I'M SORRY? ARE YOU GONNA HAVE PEOPLE SPONSORING YOUR TEAMS? OH, WE'D LIKE TO DO THAT TOO.
LIKE ELI, ELI PLUMBING OR SOMETHING.
A LOT OF PARENTS WILL DO THAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT THEIR NAME ON THE BACK OF THE JERSEY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT YOU EVEN SEE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIKE COMPANIES, NOT JUST PEOPLES THAT OWN THOSE COMPANIES, BUT LIKE A DENTIST WILL DO IT AND THAT TYPE OF THING.
SO I MEAN, I HATE TO REDIRECT US, BUT I THINK THE QUESTION WAS, I'M SURE YEAH.
THE QUESTION IS WOULD WE BE OKAY WITH UP TO 30 BANNERS PER FIELD OR DO WE WANT TO LOOK AT AN ALTERNATIVE NUMBER? OH, UP TO 30 IS FINE.
I THINK THAT UP TO 30 IS FINE.
ANYONE DISAGREE? NO, I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T THINK WE CAN GET THERE.
I THINK RAMONA HAS SOME THOUGHTS THAT SHE'S HOLDING BACK, SO I WANNA MAKE SURE SHE'S, SHE'S, I JUST WISH THERE WAS ANOTHER WAY TO SHOW SPONSORSHIP THAN PUTTING UGLY BANNERS ON A FENCE.
IF THINK STRANGER BETTER THAN THE BANNERS THOUGH.
WHAT'S THAT? I DO THINK THE WIND THAN THE, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO CONTROL IT A LITTLE.
I MEAN, AND RE LITTLE LEAGUE IS PUTTING THEM IN UNIFORM COLOR, SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, REDS AND BLUES AND ALL THIS STUFF GOING ON.
IT'LL, IT'LL BE VERY UNIFORM BASED OFF OF WHAT WE'VE SEEN.
BECAUSE I MEAN IT'S, AND IT IT IS FUNCTIONAL.
I MEAN YOU NEED WIND SCREENS OUT THERE AT ANY LEVEL SO THAT YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE CONTROLLING THAT ASPECT.
AND I THINK JUST TO SAY THAT FULL LITTLE LEAGUE I KNOW HAS GONE OUTTA THEIR WAY TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING UNIFORM YEAH.
THE BEST THAT THEY CAN BE, UH, LOGOS IN THE SAME LOCATION AND A CONSISTENT COLOR THEME.
BUT TRUST ME, YOU NO REAL ESTATE AGENTS CALL ME.
KIM AND THEM SHOT ME DOWN ON IT AND THEY'RE LIKE, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE LIKE, IT NEEDS TO BE REALLY TONED DOWN.
AND I'M LIKE, ARE YOU SURE? BECAUSE I WENT IN MY FACE.
I'M JOKING CHECKING, BUT SO IT'S GONNA BE SUPER CLASSY.
IT'S FUNCTIONAL, IT'S CLASSY, BUT IT ALSO IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF FUNDRAISING FOR THE FULL LITTLE LEAGUE ORGANIZATION, WHICH IS A 5 0 1 3 C.
SO JUST WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT THERE.
[01:05:01]
YEAH, SO UP TO 30 IS GOOD.SO THE NEXT QUESTION IS ABOUT THE CONCESSION STAND.
SO NORMALLY THE CONCESSION STAND IS A HUNDRED DOLLARS PER DAY.
AND SO THE REQUEST RIGHT NOW IS FOR RE LITTLE LEAGUE TO HAVE USE OF CONCESSIONS FOR FREE WHEN THEY ARE NEEDING IT DURING THEIR SEASONS.
SO THE QUESTION IS, DOES THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION RECOMMEND PROVIDING THE CONCESSION STAND AT NO COST DURING THE TIMES, UM, THAT THEY HA ARE REQUESTING IT? WHICH, NO, NO.
BUT UM, WELL, I MEAN THEY NEED TO MAKE MONEY SOMEWHERE.
THAT'S ONE OF YOUR MONEY MAKING THINGS, ISN'T IT? YEAH.
SO, WELL I KIND OF EXPLAINED THIS, SO YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE DO IT FOR FREE RIGHT? AND, AND I, AND I'M ALL FOR FULL SURE TRYING TO GENERATE SOME REVENUE.
UM, BUT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO PRETTY MUCH BE, 'CAUSE LET'S BREAK IT DOWN AND WE'LL KIND OF DO THE MATH.
CAMERON SAID TO RENT THE BASEBALL FIELDS IT'S LIKE $1,200 A WEEK, SO WE'RE PAYING LIKE $4,000 A MONTH TO USE IT.
SO ANY ADDITIONAL EXPENSES LIKE THAT, PEOPLE BETTER BUY BANNERS OR THERE IS NOT GONNA BE A LITTLE LEAD.
SO THAT, SO SO WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY.
LIKE IS THERE A REDUCED MONTH, LIKE A REDUCED MONTHLY RATE THAT CAN BE BUILT INTO THAT? WHAT WAS IT, $4,000 A MONTH OR SOMETHING? IT'S, IT'S AT LEAST THAT.
I MEAN THEY, THAT'S THE NEXT QUESTION I THINK IS THE RATE.
WHY DON'T YOU GO TO THE NEXT QUESTION AND COME BACK TO THAT QUESTION.
SO I'M NOT TRYING TO BE CHEAP.
I MEAN I PROMISE YOU WE HAVE THE MONEY.
SO THE OTHER QUESTION IS A REDUCED RATE.
SO CURRENTLY IT WOULD BE $30 PER HOUR PER FIELD RENTAL? NOPE, THAT'S WRONG.
IT WOULD BE $20 PER HOUR PER FIELD RENTAL WITH A $10 PER HOUR RATE FOR LIGHTS.
SOMETIMES DURING CERTAIN POINTS OF THE YEAR, THE LIGHTS WON'T BE ON RIGHT AWAY.
BUT THAT IS AN ADDITIONAL FEE.
SO THE QUESTION IS, WOULD THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION RECOMMEND A REDUCED FEE OF THESE RATES? UM, WHICH WOULD BE A $10 PER HOUR PER FIELD FOR THE NORMAL FIELD RENTAL INSTEAD OF 20.
SO IT EITHER BE, I WOULD SAY IT'D EITHER BE $30 WITH LIGHTS.
WITH LIGHTS OR $20 WITH LIGHTS.
AND I KNOW RIGHT NOW YOU ALL DON'T HAVE MONEY, BUT I THINK YOU WILL IN, IN THE FUTURE.
AND THAT WOULD BE, THAT WOULD JUST BE BOTH LITERALLY BECAUSE THEY'RE SIGNING THE MSA, CORRECT.
YEAH, I THINK THAT THE THAT'S TRUE.
I REDUCED RATE WOULD BE BETTER FOR SOMEONE WITH THE, THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE MSA WITH.
SO WE'RE OKAY WITH THE THE REDUCED RENTAL RATE.
UM, AND I THINK IT CAN MAKE THE OTHER RATE $50 AND THEN REDUCE THAT ONE, REDUCE THE OTHER RATE TOO.
SO INSTEAD OF 25, I DON'T 100 PER RENTAL FOR YEAH.
AND WE CAN REVISIT THIS NEXT SEASON.
THEY'RE FALL SEASON EVEN IT CAN BE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN DO IT SEASON PER SEASON 'CAUSE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU WE GENERATE IN FALL OFF THE CONCESSION STANDS IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN SPRING.
UM, THAT MAY BE SOMETHING CONSIDERED TOO.
WOULD THERE, WOULD THERE BE A SITUATION WHERE YOU'RE NOT, NOT USING THE CONCESSION STANDS ON SOME DAYS? NO.
YOU'RE ALWAYS USING, OKAY, SO LIKE, LIKE WHAT I'M WONDERING IS THAT CONCESSION STANDS FEE, SO WHEN WE'RE RENTING CAN BE BUILT, SORRY, USE OF THE FIELD FEE.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD THINK.
SO INSTEAD OF USE OF THE FIELD BEING $1,200 USE OF THE FIELD IS, I DON'T KNOW, 1250 OR SOMETHING THAT INCLUDES AND THEN THAT INCLUDES THIS AND THAT TYPE OF SITUATION.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE LIGHTS WOULD BE DIFFERENT BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT ALWAYS GONNA BE USING THE LIGHTS MM-HMM
BUT THE CONCESSION, IT STILL FEELS LIKE THEY'RE ALWAYS GONNA BE USING THAT.
SO WHY NOT PUT IT INTO THE FIELD USAGE FOR THEM? WE WOULD NOT BE USING THE CONCESSIONS DURING PRACTICING JUST FOR THE, FOR THE RECORD.
SO THERE'LL BE SOME ELEMENTS OF A FEW WEEKS OF PRACTICE THAT WE WON'T BE USING THE CONCESSION STAND.
BUT I THINK THE, THE ONE THING I WILL BRING UP, UM, IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE CONCESSION RENTAL FEE IS REALLY TO HOLD ACCOUNTABLE WHOEVER USES IT, WEAR AND TEAR.
IF THINGS BREAK, THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT.
LIKE IF SOMETHING WOULD BREAK IN THE CONCESSION STAND WHILE WILSHIRE LITTLE LEAGUE IS IN USE, I MEAN, YOU KNOW WHO TO COME TO THAT'S GONNA MAKE IT.
YOU'VE GOT MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT YOU'VE, YOU KNOW, NOW I KNOW THAT'S MORE OF LIKE A HANDSHAKE AGREEMENT, BUT I WOULD JUST SAY THE CONCESSION STANDS WE'RE GONNA BREAK EVEN ON, WE'RE PROBABLY NOT GONNA MAKE ANY MONEY WITH WHAT WE'RE SELLING.
IT'S MORE OF, HEY, YOU NEED TO HYDRATE, YOU NEED A QUICK SNACK 'CAUSE YOUR SUGAR'S DIPPED.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW ANY LITTLE LEAGUE THAT'S REALLY JUST REALLY HIT A GREAT REVENUE TARGET WITH THEIR CONCESSION STANDS SALES.
SO I JUST THROW IT OUT THERE THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE THE CONCESSIONS OPEN WHEN WE'RE HAVING GAMES BECAUSE OF THOSE REASONS.
UM, BUT WE'RE GONNA BE GOOD STEWARDS OF THE SPACE AND IF SOMETHING BREAKS, WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT RIGHT.
AND I DON'T, I DON'T THINK THAT THE ISSUE, I THINK RIGHT NOW WITH YOU ALL DOING IT, IT'S
[01:10:01]
WE'RE, WE WOULD FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE IF YOU BROKE A SINK, YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD FIX IT.LIKE IT WOULDN'T BE A BIG DEAL.
HOWEVER, THE ISSUE IS IF WHENEVER THIS IS MAYBE THIS IS NO LONGER IN YOUR HANDS ONE DAY OR MAYBE THE MSA GETS PASSED TO SOMEBODY ELSE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IS SETTING A PRECEDENT OF COVERING THE CONCESSIONS THAT THAT'S ALL IT'S ABOUT FOR ME.
IT'S JUST SETTING THE PRECEDENT OF IT.
MAYBE PUT IN THE CONTRACT THAT ANY, ANYTHING BROKEN WILL BE REPAIRED BY THEM, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
WHAT IS THAT LIKE, IT'S NOT JUST A HANDSHAKES, IS IT $25 PER DAY OR $50 PER DAY? IT'S A HUNDRED DOLLARS.
FOR, FOR THE CONCESSIONS IT'S $100 PER DAY.
SO EACH USAGE IS A HUNDRED DOLLARS.
SO YOU HAD FOUR GAIN, IF YOU HAD FOUR DAYS OF, THAT'D BE $400 A WEEK, WHICH SEEMS PRICEY.
RIGHT? SO IT'S LIKE IF IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE IT JUST NEEDS TO BE BUILT INTO THE PRICE OF THE FIELD.
EVEN THOUGH YOU'D HAVE LIKE THREE WEEKS WHERE YOU'RE JUST PRACTICING OR SOMETHING, IT STILL WOULD BE CHEAPER FOR YOU ALL TO JUST HAVE THAT OVERALL PRICE.
BUT I THINK WE'RE TRYING TO STAY IN THE SAME FRAMEWORKS OF WHAT WE'VE SET UP FOR EAGLE LANDING PARK, WHICH IS GOTCHA.
THERE'S A CONCESSION RENTAL, THERE'S A FIELD FEED RENTAL, FIELD RENTAL FEE.
SO WITHOUT CREATING SOMETHING COMPLETELY UNIQUE FOR PRIMROSE, THEY'RE TRYING TO STAY WITHIN THE CONSTRAINTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SET UP FOR ANOTHER RSA.
SO I THINK THE, THE QUESTION TRULY IS CAN WE, IN THE, CAN WE HAVE A, AN AGREEMENT FOR FALL THAT WE RE REVISIT IN SPRING KNOWING THAT THERE'S DOLLARS THAT ARE TRYING TO BE RAISED RIGHT NOW TO GET THIS ORGANIZATION UP AND OFF THE GROUND FOR FALL.
WE HAVE NO CLUE HOW MANY KIDS ARE GONNA SIGN UP.
WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
MAYBE THEN IN SPRING WE COULD REVISIT THE THESE DOLLARS IF THAT'S, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.
BUT I, I THINK THE INVESTMENT RIGHT NOW WOULD BE, HEY FULCHER LITTLE LEAGUE IS, IS A COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATION THAT FULCHER, YOU KNOW, IN SUPPORT OF GETTING UP AND RUNNING.
MAYBE THERE'S JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT AGREEMENT FOR FALL THAN THERE HAPPENS TO BE FOR SPRING.
AND I THINK THAT THE, I THINK, I MEAN EVERY, EVERY CONTRACT IS GONNA BE DIFFERENT, RIGHT? SO THIS MSA WOULD NOT BE THE SAME AS MSA THAT WE USED WITH SOMEONE ELSE IN THE FUTURE.
SO I THINK THAT JUST SETTING A PRECEDENT OF SOME SORT OF CONCESSION FEE, EVEN IF IT'S JUST $20 A WEEK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, JUST A VERY REDUCED CO YEAH.
MEAN A VERY REDUCED CONCESSION FEE.
SOMETHING SO THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING IN PLACE MOVING FORWARD OF LIKE, YES WE DO CHARGE CONCESSION FEES.
WENT UP, IT WENT WAY UP BECAUSE WE, THESE THINGS CHANGED, BUT THERE'S CONCESSION PHASE.
$25 WOULD BE GREAT AND THEN WE CAN REESTABLISH IT.
HERE'S THE THING TOO, I'M GONNA SET EVERYBODY UP WITH, WITH PERFECT GAME, WHICH IS THE SELECT BASEBALL ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE FIELD RENTALS ON THE WEEKENDS, THAT'S WHERE EVERYBODY'S GONNA MAKE THEIR MONEY.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND LIKE, BUT FOR US, WE JUST GOTTA SQUEAK ON THROUGH.
NOW IF WE ARE LIKE FUSSING OUT THE SCENES, WE GOT 600 KIDS AND, AND IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ROCKING AND ROLLING, THEN I THINK WE CAN BE A LOT DIFFERENT.
A LOT DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE'RE LIKE, WE WE'RE WEARING AND TEARING THAT THING BECAUSE WE'RE USING IT.
AND THE OBVIOUS IS, AND I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS, THAT THE, THE BENEFIT YOU GET WITH LIKE A LITTLE LEAGUE ORGANIZATION IS YOU ARE GONNA HAVE THOSE FIELDS RENTED FOUR DAYS EVERY WEEK.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT AND TRY AND RECRUIT ANYTHING.
WE'VE, WE'VE GOT A SEASON, THE CITY'S GONNA GET THEIR MONEY.
THE THE, THE THING I I THINK WE WANNA MAKE SURE IS WE'RE COVERING THE COST OF COURSE THAT THE CITY'S INCURRING.
WE DON'T WANT TO BE A CHARITY CASE AND, AND TAKE AWAY ANYTHING FROM THE CITY.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THIS FALL SEASON, WE, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT NUMBER'S GONNA BE.
WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY KIDS WE'RE GONNA HAVE.
AND SO THE CITY'S BEEN CONTINUING TO BE EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE WITH SETTING THESE THINGS UP.
BECAUSE WE'RE LIKE, HEY, WE COULD HAVE HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, 200 KIDS, WE COULD HAVE A THOUSAND KIDS.
I MEAN THAT WOULD BE SCARY, BUT I WOULD LOVE IT
UM, SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT NUMBER IS AND WE REALLY CAN'T TRACK AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT'S GONNA COME IN.
SO I THINK JUST AN EXTREMELY REDUCED RATE FOR THIS FIRST MSA CONTRACT WOULD BE WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.
I WANT TO, I GOTTA THANK Y'ALL FOR BEING SO SERIOUSLY FLEXIBLE WITH US.
'CAUSE Y'ALL COULD BE LIKE MOST CITIES AND BE LIKE, SORRY.
AND AND WE'LL CONTINUE, LIKE YOU SAID, AS WE SEE OUR FUTURE NUMBERS, WE'LL ABSOLUTELY MAKE CHANGES.
IT'S, IT'S A PARTNERSHIP SO WE WANNA WORK TOGETHER.
WE DON'T WANT THIS TO BE A CONFLICT ISSUE AT ALL.
SO JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE IT'S SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE IS OKAY WITH.
UM, AND I THINK A REDUCED FEE ON A WEEKLY BASIS INSTEAD OF A PER DAY IS SOMETHING WE CAN DEFINITELY BRING TO CITY COUNCIL FOR, RIGHT.
EVEN IF YOU DID A DAY, EVEN IF YOU NEEDED TO DO A DAILY OKAY.
YOU KNOW, $7 A DAY OR SO, $10 A DAY, WHATEVER IT IS, SAYING SOMETHING, JUST A VERY REDUCED RATE.
NOT A A HUNDRED DOLLARS A DAY IS A LOT FOR THEM.
'CAUSE THAT WOULD BE $400 A WEEK.
I KEEP, I, YEAH, I JUST THINK OF AN EXTREMELY REDUCED RATE.
I DIDN'T DO ZERO WOULD BE FEASIBLE FOR RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PARK IS, I, I WOULD DO NO RATE EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
I JUST, WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT AS FAR AS THE, THIS DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE WAY IT'S SET UP.
JUST TO SET, JUST TO SET THE PROCESS.
WE NEED TO HAVE, WE NEED TO, WE NEED TO, I THINK PARTNERSHIPS ARE BEST IF WE HAVE A LITTLE SKIN IN THE GAME.
[01:15:01]
CONTRIBUTING A LITTLE BIT.UM, AND LIKE I SAID, I FEEL LIKE IF A SINK BREAKS YOU'D SEE DAX OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, WITH HIS, WITH HIS PLUMBING TOOLS, HIS PLUMBING.
DAX WOULD HIRE SOMEONE, MY HUSBAND WOULD BE OUT THERE, BRING YOUR TOOLS AND HIRE A PLUMBER WOULD NOT SEE JOE.
HE MAY JUST BE WEARING AND TEARING IT AND NOT EVEN CARING.
SO SO CAN YOU REPEAT WHAT YOU HEARD AS WHERE THE BOARD IS? YES.
SO WHAT I HAVE IS A, INSTEAD OF FREE CONCESSIONS FOR, FOR LITTLE LEAGUE, IT WOULD BE A REDUCED RATE POTENTIALLY 20 TO $25 A WEEK OR A, YOU KNOW, SMALL FEE PER DAY USAGE.
UM, INSTEAD OF A COST CONCESSIONS FOR THE SEASON OR THE A HUNDRED DOLLARS.
DID YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS KELLY? NO.
[Business – E]
E FULL SURE.FUTURE PARKLETS DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL PARKLETS ON CITY PROPERTY LIFT STATIONS.
IS THAT YOU? SO THIS IS SOMETHING WE WANTED TO SEE HOW WE FEEL ABOUT, SO WE ARE CONSIDERING ADDING SOME PARKLETS AT SOME OF OUR LIFT STATIONS IN THE FUTURE.
THIS IS NOT A RIGHT NOW THING, BUT SOMETHING WE ARE CURIOUS IF WE SHOULD CONSIDER.
UM, SO THE LIFT STATIONS ARE SOMETHING THAT THE CITY OWNS AND IS A SPACE THAT IS TYPICALLY WITHIN NEIGHBORHOODS.
AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY ADDING SOME FEATURES IN THOSE AREAS THAT, YOU KNOW, WOULD ADD SOME BEAUTIFICATION AND SOME SPACES WHERE PEOPLE COULD GO.
THESE ARE JUST SOME ROUGH RENDERINGS OF WHAT IT POTENTIALLY COULD LOOK LIKE.
I HAVE, I HAVE TWO RENDERINGS.
SO WE HAVE ONE AT THE RE TRACE REGIONAL LIFT STATION WHERE WE COULD HAVE ANOTHER MURAL SOMEWHERE ALONG THE BRICK OF THE LIFT STATION ITSELF.
AND THEN THESE TREES ALREADY EXIST IN THIS SPACE AND WE COULD LOOK AT SOME SORT OF COVERED SHADE STRUCTURE WITH SOME SEEDING AND THEN POTENTIALLY A BIKE RACK, JUST AN AREA THAT, YOU KNOW, LIFT STATIONS AREN'T NECESSARILY BEAUTIFUL.
AND SO WE'RE LOOKING TO POTENTIALLY ADD SOME BEAUTIFICATION IN THE CITY A LITTLE BIT MORE.
SO WE HAVE THIS ONE AND THEN WE HAVE THE VALLEY TERRACE LIFT STATION KIND OF HAS THIS ROUNDABOUT AREA.
AND SO WE COULD ALSO AGAIN HAVE A MURAL ON THE LIFT STATION ITSELF, WHICH IS A BRICK, UM, FENCING.
AND THEN WE COULD LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, UH,
SO WE COULD LOOK AT GETTING SOME POTENTIAL LIKE TRAIN PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT PIECES.
AND THEN WE COULD HAVE, THIS IS A ROUGH RENDERING AGAIN, BUT THESE ARE BLUE BONNETS IN THIS MIDDLE AREA.
SO SOMEWHERE WHERE THAT COULD BE FEATURED.
AND THEN AGAIN SHADE STRUCTURE WITH SOME SEATING.
SO I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE INTERESTED IN PURSUING IN THE FUTURE.
WHERE IS VALLEY TERRACE? YOU GUYS KNOW
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE LIFT STATION? THE WATER.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA LIFT OUT OF THERE GUYS? TELL 'EM
SO A LIFT STATION TAKES UM, RAW SEWAGE FLOW AND SENDS IT TO EITHER THE DOWNTOWN PLANT OR THE CROSS CREEK PLANT.
I SEWAGE WATER, SEWAGE VELOCITY TO GO TO IT.
I WAS LIKE, OH, I WAS JUST GOING LIFT.
IT'S TREATMENT HEARD PARKLETS AND STUFF INTO MY NO, NO, BUT IT'S NOT A TREATMENT PLANT.
WELL THERE'S SOME LIFT 'CAUSE YOU HAVE TO BRING IT UP ABOVE AND PUSH IT.
BECAUSE YOU'RE PUSHING IT TO LIKE, LIKE YOU'RE SAYING, YOU'RE TO DOWNTOWN PUSHING IT TO THE TREATMENT PLANT.
IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE TALKING SMELL, YOU'RE IN GOOD SHAPE UNTIL YOU OPEN THE PATCHES EYEBALL THE NEW TIMEWISE AT THP AND SMELL THE OH, OKAY.
IT'S, IT'S OWNED, IT'S IT'S PROPERTY THAT WE HAVE.
IT'S SERVING A PURPOSE, BUT I, I PERSONALLY WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT HAVE DUAL PURPOSE.
MAKES, I MEAN IT WOULD BE GREAT.
THESE POT, THE, WE'RE CALLING IT, I'M SORRY, UH, PARKLETS.
THESE PARKLETS TO ME SERVE A PURPOSE OF IT'S ALREADY THERE.
MAKE IT SOMETHING THAT'S DESIRABLE TO GO VISIT IT.
THAT PARTICULAR ONE LOOKS LIKE A RUST STOP ON THE HIGHWAY.
BUT BESIDES THAT, IT'S STILL COOL THOUGH.
I THINK THERE ARE WAYS TO DO IT.
I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY, YOU LIKE THE WHAT? THE, THE TRAIN FEATURES OF LIKE ADDING IN THESE LITTLE TRAINS THAT THE KIDS CAN PLAY AND STUFF.
UM, AND I, I DO KNOW THESE TWO LOCATIONS GREAT.
'CAUSE THEY'RE IN BROOK ON FHI CREEK.
UM, OTHERWISE THERE, THERE'S NO PURPOSE.
THERE'S NO DESTINATION, THERE'S NOTHING THIS IS BEING USED FOR OTHER THAN TRULY THE LIFT LIFT STATION.
I MEAN TO ME I THINK IT SERVES DUAL PURPOSE.
I THINK IT'S, IT'S BEING SMART WITH DOLLARS.
I THINK IT'S A MINIMAL INVESTMENT.
[01:20:01]
I LOVE THE IDEA OF PLANNING SOME BLUE BONNETS IN LIKE A A, AN AREA THAT'S KIND OF PROTECTED THAT JUST ADDS BEAUTY.SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE BLUE BONNETS ONCE THE SEASON COMES? I'M SURE PEOPLE WILL TAKE PICTURES AND STEP ON 'EM, BUT STILL, I THINK THE INTENT THERE BY THE CITY WOULD BE MAKING IT MULTIPURPOSE AND, AND SOMETHING THAT THE, THE COMMUNITY CAN ENJOY, UH, ADDITIONALLY VERSUS JUST THE, THE LIFT.
WELL, AND TO ADD TO THAT, I'VE HAD UM, A COUPLE OF POTENTIAL EAGLE SCOUT COME TO ME AND ASK ABOUT DOING A PROJECT.
AND IT WAS MET, ONE OF THE IDEAS MENTIONED WAS WORKING ON THE PARKLET.
SO WE MIGHT HAVE A, AN EAGLE SCOUT THAT CAN WORK ON THIS.
AND ON THE FIRST CONCEPT, THE ART INFUSED I THINK IS GREAT 'CAUSE I HAVE HEARD SO MUCH POSITIVE FEEDBACK ABOUT OUR BOX ART BOX PROJECT.
SO I I LOVE THAT CITY OF FULCHER LOVES IT.
SO I, I JUST THINK IT'S GREAT TO INFUSE WHENEVER YOU CAN.
UM, ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT? NO.
[Business – F]
ITEM F MONTHLY PARKS AND RECREATION BUDGET, FINANCIAL REPORT, DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM? ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE SPECIFIC LINE ITEMS? WE DON'T HAVE THE REPORT LEAH.I DID LOOK AT IT ALREADY AND I JUST UH, I STILL THINK IT'S NOT GIVING US THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED.
LIKE WHEN THERE'S AN EXPENDITURE, WE NEED TO KNOW WHO THE EXPENDITURE WENT TO.
UM, I KNEW I WAS MISSING SOMETHING.
SO THE LINE ITEM THAT WE LOOKED AT LAST TIME, THOSE FEES THAT WERE, THOSE EXPENSES WE'RE DOING, THOSE ARE FOR HALF AND FOR MILLI.
SO THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE DESIGN FOR PRIMROSE, THOSE ARE THE ONLY THINGS IN THERE RIGHT NOW.
AS WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO OFFICIALLY OPENING THE PARK, WE'LL HAVE THOSE OTHER FEES, NOT FEES, EXPENSES THAT ARE GOING INTO THE PARK.
AND I CAN HAVE A LIST OF WHAT THOSE EXPENSES ARE.
IT JUST THE WAY THE REPORTS WORK, IT DOESN'T REALLY BREAK IT DOWN LIKE THAT FOR US.
BUT I CAN HAVE THAT FOR YOU FOR THIS NEXT MONTH AS WELL.
BUT THOSE ARE THE ONLY EXPENSES FROM THIS LAST TIME.
[Business – G]
OF COMMUNITY INTEREST.PRIS PARK GRAND OPENING JUNE 13TH
UM, IT SAYS MAY 9TH WHEN WE KNOW THAT'S BEEN, UH, POSTPONED.
THE ONLY THING ON THAT IS WE KEEP CALLING IT PRIMROSE PARK GRAND OPENING.
IT IS NOT PRIMROSE PARK GRAND OPENING.
IT IS THE GRAND OPENING OF THE BASEBALL FIELD.
SO WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THIS IS THE END OF EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING AT THE PARK.
IT'S THE BASEBALL FIELDS GRAND OPENING OR PHASE TWO OR PHASE TWO.
I THOUGHT I SAW THAT ON THE GRAPHIC.
NO, THINK PRIMOS PARK GRAND OPENING AND YOU'RE THINKING, GOSH, I HOPE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WE'RE NOT FINISHED YET.
AND IT'S GONNA BE, I GO SEE THAT WHEN THEY SEE THE CONSTRUCTION OVER THERE, YOU KNOW.
BUT I THINK IT'S A, IT'S A FAIR POINT.
WE HAD, YOU KNOW, A A PHASE ONE GATHERING FOR PHASE ONE AND WE'LL HAVE ONE FOR PHASE THREE AND THEN I THINK THAT KEEPS EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, KNOW, ABREAST ON WHAT PARTS WERE PAID FOR BY WHAT AND WHO AND HOW.
I JUST, I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT IT.
I'M SO BUMMED THAT THE WEATHER IS NOT ALIGNING FOR TOMORROW.
THAT WAS GONNA BE A, A WONDERFUL MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND, UM, PRESENT.
BUT JUNE 13TH IS GONNA BE GREAT.
LIKE THERE ARE SO MANY FUN ACTIVITIES.
I KNOW NOW IT'S FATHER'S DAY
UM, BUT WE'VE GOT, AND I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN PAST MEETINGS, BUT THERE'S A COOL STATION FOR KIDS.
FIRST HUNDRED KIDS GET THEIR PICTURE PUT ON A BASEBALL CARD.
THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF DIFFERENT FOOD TRUCKS THAT ARE THERE.
SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE WILL HO HOST A SIGN UP TABLE FOR KIDS THAT PARENTS WANNA GET MORE INFORMATION.
THERE'S GONNA BE GREAT UM, SPEAKERS THERE.
AND THEN INAUGURAL PITCH BY THE MAYOR AND FUND STATION SET UP FOR THE KIDS TO PLAY.
SO COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WITH THE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND, WE DON'T WANT THE THE FIELD TO GET COMPLETELY TRASHED ON THE FIRST USAGE.
AND I APPRECIATE THE CITY BEING GOOD STEWARDS AND KIND OF MAKING THAT HARD DECISION.
BUT JUNE 13TH, Y'ALL YOU BETTER BE THERE.
SORRY DAX, I SAW QUESTIONS ONLINE IF SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE WAS STILL WOULD STILL BE THERE TOMORROW FOR SIGNUPS.
WE ARE NOT GONNA BE THERE TOMORROW FOR SIGNUPS, ALTHOUGH SIGNUPS WILL LAUNCH ONLINE AND ARE UM, OPEN TOMORROW FOR UH, REGISTRATION.
WE'RE GONNA BE SENDING OUT THE LINKS AND STUFF 'CAUSE I'M GOTTEN BLASTED WITH SO I THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BIGGER SIGN UP THAN WHAT PEOPLE THINK BECAUSE 'CAUSE I'M LIKE, I'LL MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT IT AND I'M LIKE, CALL ME IF YOU GOT ANY QUESTIONS.
AND THEN I'M THINKING LIKE, WHY DO I ALWAYS DO THAT? I'M SO USED TO DOING IT FOR MORTGAGES AND MAN THEY CALL, THEY TEXT ME LIKE THIS JUAN, WE GIVE EVERYBODY D'S PHONE NUMBER SESSION STAND PRICE JUST WENT OUT.

SO THIS IS HER LAST MEETING WITH US.
I HAVE LOVED MY TIME ON PARKS AND REC AND HOPEFULLY WELL I KNOW I I'LL JUST BE A DISTANT WALK AWAY FROM IT, SO I'VE I'VE ENJOYED MY TIME.
WELL I GUESS I SHOULD PROBABLY SAY I, I MOVED TO WESTERN LAKES.
I KNOW WE KIND OF DISCUSSED THIS A LITTLE BIT AND SO
IF I DON'T DO THAT, THEN I, YOU KNOW, THEN I WON'T BE ALLOWED TO BE ON THE PARKS AND BOARD.
I'LL BE JUST A, UH, JUST A NORMAL PERSON GRIPING FROM THE SIDELINES.
I, I, I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, I'M, I'M A LITTLE, I'M GRIEVING.
I'M A LITTLE SAD 'CAUSE THIS HAS BEEN A, THIS HAS BEEN AMAZING AND I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY FELT LIKE I HAD IT, UH, CREATED A LOT OF GOOD FRIENDSHIPS AND I GOT TO MEET ALL Y'ALL AND HAVE AN IMPACT A LITTLE BIT.
