1
00:00:04,660 --> 00:00:28,940
I'd like to call the July 12, 2018 BERT Trust Committee meeting to do call the roll call. Ms. Hallofield. Here. Ms. Ross. Here. Ms. Brown. Here. Mayor Osmond. Here. All right, next on the agenda is the approval of minutes. It looks like from our April 17 meeting. Everyone have a chance to go over this.

2
00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:36,730
I'd like the motion to approve the minute.

3
00:00:36,730 --> 00:00:41,710
I move we approve the meeting minutes from April 17th, 2018 for the Bird Trust Committee.

4
00:00:42,030 --> 00:00:42,710
Second that.

5
00:00:44,530 --> 00:00:45,210
Ms. Hallfield?

6
00:00:45,650 --> 00:00:45,850
Yes.

7
00:00:46,090 --> 00:00:46,330
Ms. Ross?

8
00:00:46,550 --> 00:00:46,690
Yes.

9
00:00:46,990 --> 00:00:47,250
Ms. Brown?

10
00:00:47,810 --> 00:00:48,070
Yes.

11
00:00:49,730 --> 00:00:50,170
Next.

12
00:00:50,410 --> 00:00:51,690
It looks like the priority list.

13
00:00:51,850 --> 00:00:52,910
Try to say anything that's you.

14
00:00:53,230 --> 00:00:53,390
Yeah.

15
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:55,530
So, I had sent out an email.

16
00:00:56,110 --> 00:00:58,130
I had kind of a list of things at night.

17
00:00:58,450 --> 00:01:03,830
It was aware of that we wanted to do exercise stations at the walk pass.

18
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:08,990
we're trying to work through replacement and expansion of the playground and

19
00:01:08,990 --> 00:01:14,450
equipment. Concrete picnic tables and benches throughout the park. We have

20
00:01:14,450 --> 00:01:20,350
we have one large concrete picnic table that we purchased. It's probably been

21
00:01:20,350 --> 00:01:26,430
seven or eight years ago just as a test and that is up in the inside that

22
00:01:26,430 --> 00:01:30,490
center section of the park close to the playground equipment and it's really

23
00:01:30,490 --> 00:01:36,670
out of well it's it still looks like murder so those are about $1,500 a piece but

24
00:01:36,670 --> 00:01:41,850
they can't be moved they can't be flipped they're easy to move around because

25
00:01:41,850 --> 00:01:47,410
they have the base in place and so it would be nice to start even if we only did

26
00:01:47,410 --> 00:01:54,050
one year just start putting some of those in different spots around the park let's

27
00:01:55,390 --> 00:02:00,690
see I got the extension of the stamp concrete path when we did the shelter house

28
00:02:00,690 --> 00:02:05,630
This concrete path, we did as much as we could afford at that time, but we need to take

29
00:02:05,630 --> 00:02:09,850
that around to the restrooms and do that whole land, the restrooms are at some point.

30
00:02:12,370 --> 00:02:21,750
We just had that stamped concrete resealed, so repair of the stonework in the park, all

31
00:02:21,750 --> 00:02:29,030
that 3C stuff from the 30s is definitely showing its age and I think that's something that

32
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:34,630
it's important to protect and then the renovation of the lower restrooms we're

33
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:38,730
going to be looking at what that needs we have just kind of closed those off

34
00:02:38,730 --> 00:02:42,330
because of the sewer issues with those but now that that sewer main has been

35
00:02:42,330 --> 00:02:47,970
replaced through there once that project gets complete we will take a look at

36
00:02:47,970 --> 00:02:52,130
what that needs to get those open now they're not connecting anything to those

37
00:02:52,130 --> 00:02:53,330
yet right oh

38
00:02:56,850 --> 00:03:01,230
I would think that they're going at doing that's a good question I

39
00:03:01,230 --> 00:03:03,010
I don't know if they'll go back in and connect.

40
00:03:03,210 --> 00:03:05,090
I would think that they're connecting as they go.

41
00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:06,450
So they're connecting as they go,

42
00:03:06,690 --> 00:03:07,930
and then it's flowing less.

43
00:03:08,230 --> 00:03:11,670
So maybe it could be connecting as they're going to be.

44
00:03:11,930 --> 00:03:12,310
Yeah, right.

45
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:13,850
Because they're working from west to east.

46
00:03:14,490 --> 00:03:15,410
Yeah, I would say that's right.

47
00:03:18,830 --> 00:03:22,390
And then we also had to discuss previously

48
00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:24,430
extending the walk path through the park.

49
00:03:25,150 --> 00:03:27,510
And we had also Stephanie brought up

50
00:03:27,510 --> 00:03:32,210
the idea of establishing an allotment

51
00:03:32,210 --> 00:03:38,790
That would be the people could apply for more nonprofit groups could apply for each year

52
00:03:38,790 --> 00:03:40,830
and I think that's a great idea.

53
00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:49,330
And finally we had discussed the option of maybe reducing the scholarships to $2,000

54
00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:56,590
scholarships instead of the $5,000, $4,000 scholarships because we just don't have that many people apply.

55
00:03:58,330 --> 00:04:00,010
So, you know, that's just a start.

56
00:04:01,270 --> 00:04:07,190
I just like that we should have an itemized list that we can work from in that way.

57
00:04:07,850 --> 00:04:10,030
We kind of have an idea of what we're going to do.

58
00:04:11,650 --> 00:04:13,190
We can add to that sort of.

59
00:04:14,050 --> 00:04:17,670
Well, do you know if they have scheduled a meeting with the bank yet?

60
00:04:18,130 --> 00:04:18,910
I don't know that.

61
00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:19,670
I don't believe they have.

62
00:04:27,630 --> 00:04:34,550
I think we just got what was in the mowing and the scholarships, speed bumps, speed

63
00:04:35,010 --> 00:04:35,310
bumps.

64
00:04:35,770 --> 00:04:41,450
So 18, 8 and 5, so 13 or 18, 31,000.

65
00:04:42,730 --> 00:04:49,290
So what's the most feasible, or the most, I know the playground equipment is the most

66
00:04:49,290 --> 00:04:56,310
pressing to the community and opinion polls but is there anything that we

67
00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:59,090
really need to do more so than that?

68
00:05:00,110 --> 00:05:29,130
As you say, like, is the bathroom thing a real, you know, the bathroom thing could fix itself really. Yeah, I don't know. We don't know yet how much it's ready. I don't want to do anything yet. What about the concrete that needs renovated from the thirties. I am still working on finding someone who can do that. So it's kind of a lost arm. Is it like tile? No, it's all the. It's the shelter house itself.

69
00:05:29,130 --> 00:05:38,090
like that stuff. Yeah the entrance at the entrance is in the park. There are the stone walls, the stone walls, the cherry street.

70
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:46,990
Yeah, well he's in there own. Yeah I know a guy who does tile work but I don't know that they would even cross over.

71
00:05:46,990 --> 00:05:53,490
I did track down a company in Shawnee State Park hire a company to repair some of their 3C work.

72
00:05:53,490 --> 00:05:58,930
but the 3rd 3C work doesn't work anything like that or so. I'm still working on getting

73
00:05:58,930 --> 00:05:59,550
hold of them.

74
00:06:02,980 --> 00:06:08,720
Well, I kind of agree that the equipment needs to be up there. It needs

75
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,320
to be. Yeah, we need at least one handi-count type.

76
00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:17,820
How is that stuff? It's not as old as you think. It just takes a beating.

77
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,240
It's sitting

78
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,640
Yeah, because we took senior pictures on it. Yeah, so I mean I said it's been a place it's under a plane

79
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:38,280
Yeah, yeah, I think Jordan was baby or so she's 14 years old

80
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:44,100
You'd be in a certified playground

81
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,920
What's what do you think needs to be done there?

82
00:06:53,920 --> 00:07:02,860
Well, I think first step is just replace what we have and then next step will be like do a 5 to 12 replace the whole thing.

83
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,360
Yep, because now that you can't buy replacement parts for that.

84
00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:11,820
And if you fix any of it as one of the things where you have to make it ADA and all that.

85
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,220
Well, yeah, then it has to be up to the current kind of enough code that it was when I installed.

86
00:07:17,220 --> 00:07:21,380
that stuff is so incredibly expensive.

87
00:07:23,540 --> 00:07:27,360
Can we donate the old equipment to

88
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,160
like empower use ranch or something if they put it up and it would have to be

89
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,160
inspected and it wouldn't pass right. Although they're a private private I

90
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,760
could ask what our insurance company thought about that possibly because I hate

91
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,540
I see a lot of money in my room to the schools,

92
00:07:44,540 --> 00:07:46,020
depending on what it is, right?

93
00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:49,580
Because I mean, you know,

94
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,940
well, I think the playground of Huntman really

95
00:07:51,940 --> 00:07:53,160
is probably going to be the most expensive,

96
00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:55,220
but I think it's a good place to start

97
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,120
because the park, that is what people use.

98
00:07:58,740 --> 00:07:59,680
And that is what people see.

99
00:08:00,020 --> 00:08:00,880
You can go up to see.

100
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,160
I mean, Whitney say that probably minimally,

101
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,820
we'll have to spend about 75,000.

102
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:09,800
I would say probably,

103
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,540
you're probably looking more like 100.

104
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:34,100
I know they like out in urban areas a lot of times they have those people who

105
00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:37,300
come out and install it for free and stuff. I mean so really that would

106
00:08:37,300 --> 00:08:41,520
You could probably take the rest of our work trust money for a year.

107
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:43,400
Yep.

108
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:45,780
I think you could do.

109
00:08:46,420 --> 00:08:52,800
I mean, we could spend the rest of the work trust money for us in the next year.

110
00:08:52,940 --> 00:08:53,660
You're getting the same thing.

111
00:08:55,020 --> 00:08:55,880
We did it in favor.

112
00:08:57,020 --> 00:08:58,080
You have to do it in like favor.

113
00:08:59,260 --> 00:08:59,440
Yeah.

114
00:08:59,620 --> 00:09:00,540
It would be a bad hit.

115
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,380
Well, how often are those grants, those for $15,000?

116
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,400
You see them once in a twice a year.

117
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,920
usually like, you know, this time into the fall and the season, and the season's running.

118
00:09:15,180 --> 00:09:19,260
So I'll keep looking for that. There are some grants that I'm watching to the

119
00:09:19,260 --> 00:09:21,440
ploy for this fall and next spring too.

120
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:27,940
What about, I know that was my suggestion, but when I said something about

121
00:09:27,940 --> 00:09:32,600
extending the walking path, do you have any idea if that was ever an option how it

122
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,100
would exactly go? Yeah, and I told you wrong. I was thinking so the original phase

123
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:42,940
two of the walk paths was to go on around what was the high school at that point okay

124
00:09:42,940 --> 00:09:49,460
no circle around that but you really wouldn't want to do that now because that you know that track and

125
00:09:49,460 --> 00:09:56,160
football fields no one I think it would be better to go into the park. I think you would bring more people

126
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:56,880
the end of the project.

127
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:14,540
That's more of a shame that two people would probably use it. Like mirror ashtray, I guess, inside the fence. Yeah, just inside. You can do it. Would it go up around the playground or put it then? Like, like, yeah, that'd

128
00:10:16,590 --> 00:10:29,790
be expensive. Yeah, I don't know what that would cost. I don't know how much said, because you don't want a good base. I don't know, would you quote what? That would be something you have to get a quote on and find out.

129
00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:36,010
Does anybody think exercise stations on the walk path are important?

130
00:10:36,610 --> 00:10:40,770
I think they're a good idea. I don't know where I put it on the priority list.

131
00:10:40,850 --> 00:10:46,130
Comparatively cheap, you know, we're talking 40,000 to do it.

132
00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:47,790
The ones that take the town's ever higher.

133
00:10:48,590 --> 00:10:50,110
And I get a lot of rage.

134
00:10:50,970 --> 00:10:56,590
But in terms of bang for the buck, I mean, I think that the play equipment gets used.

135
00:10:56,590 --> 00:10:57,430
That's true.

136
00:10:57,610 --> 00:11:01,070
Yeah, I think that would probably be my number one priority.

137
00:11:01,650 --> 00:11:08,390
But like the $20,000 kind of accounting, you know, if we don't get the nature works grant

138
00:11:08,390 --> 00:11:15,250
to fund our exercise dates and maybe we can get the $20,000 kind of accounting works grant

139
00:11:15,250 --> 00:11:18,590
to cover half of that, the exercise dates.

140
00:11:19,850 --> 00:11:19,950
Yeah.

141
00:11:19,950 --> 00:11:28,810
So maybe when we work up for the committee, the three things that we think are most important,

142
00:11:28,930 --> 00:11:30,230
because they would have to vote on it, right?

143
00:11:31,050 --> 00:11:32,890
Well, we don't have to vote on anything yet.

144
00:11:33,010 --> 00:11:34,350
We're not ready to ask for the money.

145
00:11:34,650 --> 00:11:37,850
So, I think we just need to have a list established.

146
00:11:38,750 --> 00:11:43,710
So if somebody else comes up and says, no, I need money for this, we can say, well, we have a priority list,

147
00:11:43,850 --> 00:11:45,350
but we'll see more of the important.

148
00:11:45,790 --> 00:11:46,010
Right.

149
00:11:46,010 --> 00:11:46,750
I

150
00:11:49,660 --> 00:11:58,260
would say the playground, but in my mind, but if there's anything else that I don't need to do here, I always need that

151
00:12:02,260 --> 00:12:04,180
playground book in my own studio.

152
00:12:07,740 --> 00:12:11,440
How long are we thinking till we realize how bad the lower bathrooms are?

153
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:18,520
I would say that would be a 2019 project.

154
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,600
Have we went in there and looked at them since they went through there?

155
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,840
We were, I mean, we were planning on once they got rid of the park, you know, there's still,

156
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:35,200
I think they're still using that lower parking lot there, but we've just been trying to get

157
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:41,560
caught up on all the projects that we have gone, which we're getting close. So every

158
00:12:46,390 --> 00:12:47,210
time

159
00:12:47,210 --> 00:12:49,130
you think you're caught up, somebody knocks a bull down.

160
00:12:52,150 --> 00:12:56,910
The benches at $1,500 a piece aren't bad. I don't think that's a horrible price.

161
00:12:56,910 --> 00:12:57,490
Those aren't bad.

162
00:12:58,070 --> 00:13:00,050
And I like, I've said there are plenty of things.

163
00:13:00,050 --> 00:13:00,730
The table's a nice.

164
00:13:02,370 --> 00:13:04,150
I think it's good that they don't flip over,

165
00:13:04,290 --> 00:13:05,410
because you do see that sometimes

166
00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:07,510
with a good, strong, straight line.

167
00:13:07,650 --> 00:13:09,130
Working for the park district metal,

168
00:13:09,270 --> 00:13:12,710
we have wooden picnic tables

169
00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:14,430
that have the metal bases on them,

170
00:13:14,530 --> 00:13:16,150
and all the woods working on them.

171
00:13:17,170 --> 00:13:19,570
There are like a lot of the ends are pulling up

172
00:13:19,570 --> 00:13:20,410
and they just look awful.

173
00:13:20,910 --> 00:13:21,130
Yeah.

174
00:13:21,750 --> 00:13:22,150
Awful.

175
00:13:22,270 --> 00:13:25,450
And we have them anchored to the ground.

176
00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:30,030
So we can't mow around when we have to weedy under when they just look horrible.

177
00:13:32,310 --> 00:13:33,870
Those look really nice.

178
00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:38,050
Like I say, with the bass, it's easy to weedy out of the room.

179
00:13:41,940 --> 00:13:47,980
Another affordable enough to wear, like you said, if we didn't want to hear, it won't be felt as bad.

180
00:13:47,980 --> 00:13:52,120
So my opinion we should we just just my opinion we should

181
00:13:52,780 --> 00:13:58,460
Seriously consider establishing that fund for

182
00:13:59,860 --> 00:14:03,220
Put a price on it. I think we would do a year.

183
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,880
I was thinking we roughly like $2,500

184
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,880
I didn't know if that was too much or not enough to one entity

185
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,380
To one entity a year a year. Is that too much?

186
00:14:17,580 --> 00:14:21,860
Is that me being I don't think it's too much because when I asked for

187
00:14:28,580 --> 00:14:35,460
But I don't think it's too much like 2,500 would be a nice round estimate and I don't know how much do you open it up to?

188
00:14:36,220 --> 00:14:43,260
Okay, well, what are you wanting to do? We'll give us the price and depending on what it is, we're willing to give you this much money towards it.

189
00:14:43,260 --> 00:14:45,060
It's an unprofit you want.

190
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:59,960
I think it would be, I think it should be someone who wants to give back to the residents and the people.

191
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:31,400
People who do what is available in our community. So let's say if Bethlehem Diamond sport applies for it. And let's say the shepherd's place applies for it. How are you going to decide who gets it? Well, I think that those are not so dark. Now, Charles had mentioned doing the scoring system. I mean, I write grants and we don't do a scoring system anymore. But I think that it would be important to establish, you know, you want to know a little bit about the business. Kind of like

192
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,200
kind of like a grant application doesn't have to be a cumbersome as a grant

193
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,460
application but I'd like to know a little bit about their business, what their

194
00:15:38,460 --> 00:15:43,280
project is, what the purpose and the scope of the project would be, you know,

195
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,080
what their time frame is and what like they're in like a budget. Just to kind of see

196
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,380
like that they're really, you know, put the time and effort into doing something

197
00:15:51,380 --> 00:15:55,780
with not just, oh I could use this $2,500 just to, you know, whatever. The Shepherd's

198
00:15:55,780 --> 00:16:00,280
place must use it to fund meals for after-school kids they can or whatever the

199
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,760
what they want to do, but that's fine, as long as they can put it within the scope of the documentation that we've put it on.

200
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:08,300
And if you would like to feel like your scoring system, that's fine.

201
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:09,340
Right, but we have to, you know?

202
00:16:09,460 --> 00:16:14,320
I mean, but I don't like just, you know, a one page like this is what I want.

203
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:19,080
I think that they should have to, I wouldn't want to know something about what, you know, who they are, what they do,

204
00:16:19,140 --> 00:16:26,260
how they plan, what they give back to the community, the exact purpose of the money, even if it's just a small project like, you know,

205
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:32,300
gravel for the, you know, for the parking lot to help our for increase our parking for

206
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:38,560
Bethlehem sports or whatever it is. And then time line of projects, you know,

207
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,900
if we fund it, say we say we get this all together and it goes out at the end of

208
00:16:42,900 --> 00:16:46,320
the year and we can fund it January. I'd like to see it all funded and

209
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,260
extended by the end of the year next year. I think just like, you know, like I

210
00:16:50,260 --> 00:16:53,900
work in a grant. So it's just a thing to give you money, you have to expand it

211
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:58,720
in that year. So I think if you give them just a certain amount, something they can actually use

212
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:04,260
for a project in that time frame. And sometimes it's reimbursed and all of a sudden you

213
00:17:04,260 --> 00:17:07,800
show that you span it? Yeah, and that yeah, well, however you guys want to do it, it's fine.

214
00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:15,420
I guess it doesn't matter. I just like opening up that idea to the community. It would allow

215
00:17:16,420 --> 00:17:21,300
all of us to learn some more about some of the non-profit and some of the stuff that goes around,

216
00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:26,640
especially, you know, I mean, I knew I'm from the community, but I know a fairly good

217
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:31,100
deal about everything but I think would show us a lot more about the different

218
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:35,360
organizations. Well, I think it's totally feasible because we're you know, we're

219
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:39,620
not getting as many people applying for a scholarship, you know, so why not open

220
00:17:39,620 --> 00:17:45,520
that option up so that they can interview for things to help the community to. And

221
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,800
piggybacking off of what you both just said and I don't know why it just came to my

222
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,620
brain. I know of several seniors this year that didn't walk at graduation because they

223
00:17:52,620 --> 00:17:57,480
couldn't afford their capitol. I know. And that's more with Burke. I mean, I offered

224
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,060
you pay for them and they wouldn't take it, but they did not walk. And I think that's

225
00:18:01,060 --> 00:18:06,340
a pretty big deal. So with Burke wanting the scholarships and wanting, you know, was

226
00:18:06,340 --> 00:18:10,700
big on education, there's got to be some way that we can finagle something every year

227
00:18:10,700 --> 00:18:15,960
that a mini grant. Yes, a mini grant. You know, you can't pay your school fees, but

228
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,020
but you have to prove why you couldn't pay your school fees

229
00:18:18,020 --> 00:18:18,680
or whatever.

230
00:18:19,020 --> 00:18:21,480
But there's kids up there that need lunch money.

231
00:18:21,780 --> 00:18:22,900
They need school fees paid.

232
00:18:23,140 --> 00:18:23,920
They need a book bag.

233
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,000
How much should there's a cabin gallon cost?

234
00:18:27,420 --> 00:18:28,900
I think it was like 40 bucks.

235
00:18:30,020 --> 00:18:32,460
I even said get them back for these kids.

236
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,280
They don't ever use them again.

237
00:18:34,420 --> 00:18:36,100
I looked for mine and could find it.

238
00:18:36,180 --> 00:18:37,040
Yeah, I could find it.

239
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,800
Last year, I think I was gonna give this girl mine

240
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:39,400
and could not.

241
00:18:39,620 --> 00:18:42,400
I found like, I've got a one but call dress program,

242
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,680
you know, where are you going to borrow it

243
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,660
for the night. If we could tell the, just kind of the, uh, the guy's counselor

244
00:18:50,660 --> 00:18:53,260
notified us next year, come and make a request. We have this

245
00:18:53,260 --> 00:18:58,660
manager on our students who can't. Yeah. Yeah. There's so many

246
00:18:58,660 --> 00:19:01,380
things I could do to that school. You know, here's a free homecoming ticket,

247
00:19:01,580 --> 00:19:05,380
bring your cap and y'all back. Well, great. They had a lot of homeless kids

248
00:19:05,380 --> 00:19:09,100
and they had a clause that started for, so I have a friend who works at grant.

249
00:19:09,420 --> 00:19:14,320
So I wouldn't think that's, I wouldn't think that high school homelessness is

250
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,120
is just in vocation. Right? Right. And not that there's any of this needs to be taken care

251
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:25,060
of grant by the grant, but the work, but I don't know, it's just on my brain. Sorry.

252
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:29,720
Do you think the need is out? There's a need. Yes. And there's money rather than this

253
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,800
work trust for these kids in this community. I was sure 2500 to see how it goes with that.

254
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,320
Yeah. If you want to do, I mean, we could start a $2,500 state for the first three years

255
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,300
and see how it goes. I think there should also be like a look back. Like, if you get it one

256
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:48,120
year. You have to wait like two calendar years before you could apply again. So that would be something we

257
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:54,780
would request $2,500 from Burke Trust just so that we would have access to her and somebody at

258
00:19:55,860 --> 00:19:59,340
So we're going to work on this for a 2019 start.

259
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:29,980
That would be great. And so we, I guess we need to set a deadline for applications. And then I can get with my and see if she has any templates. Do you have any templates or any idea? I mean, I can, I can just send you whatever I was thinking. Just based on that. I don't do scoring in mind anymore or anything like that. But I mean, that's something we can always, you know, evaluate our first couple. Yeah. I just think if you require, you know, those fortified

260
00:20:29,980 --> 00:20:34,260
things and actually my make an organization excited I know it like

261
00:20:34,260 --> 00:20:40,640
renews my excitement for what I do every year but if no one applies it

262
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:47,540
kind of sits in a fund just like the scholarship money does yeah that's my

263
00:20:47,540 --> 00:20:52,740
question we wouldn't just request it the next year it fits us for a couple

264
00:20:52,740 --> 00:20:57,540
years we have to give it back okay I can't see that not being requested

265
00:20:57,540 --> 00:21:02,820
it, especially with Shubber, it's like having fun and have the availability out there by

266
00:21:02,820 --> 00:21:07,320
like, I don't know, it's kind of like, it's a kind of, maybe a favor.

267
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,680
So do we want to make a request for that, and we want to make a request for maybe one

268
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:12,500
day picnic table?

269
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:19,360
Yeah, I think we should request one more picnic table just because, how much money do we have

270
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:19,900
left to spend?

271
00:21:20,060 --> 00:21:24,520
Well, if we're looking at playground equipment, I'm kind of afraid to go above one.

272
00:21:25,220 --> 00:21:28,740
Can we use money from this year and for next year for playground equipment?

273
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,360
If you're talking about a hundred thousand dollars

274
00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:44,820
I'm telling you when we had that I sat down when we were on Burke remember that

275
00:21:44,820 --> 00:21:49,840
The bankers came in and talked to us and it was so informative

276
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:56,800
It's really good and it would it would really open not just it would open their eyes to how much money and us

277
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:02,460
That we could actually use. It's been what two or three years since we did that yeah, I did it when I was on there

278
00:22:02,460 --> 00:22:07,340
And a lot of those people were on the committee with me still so they've seen it

279
00:22:07,340 --> 00:22:13,280
Right the money's there because I remember them telling us that we could you could use so much of the Corpus

280
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:20,320
And we haven't used that at all since like the early 90s, so we could even look back if we wanted to

281
00:22:20,900 --> 00:22:27,140
20 years. Yeah, you could you there's a plenty of money to be had. Yeah for park projects

282
00:22:27,140 --> 00:22:34,940
We can if it's a unanimous with a council doesn't have to go to the trust. I would like to try to go through them

283
00:22:34,940 --> 00:22:38,300
Just to see with it. You know what I mean? I don't know. I think we have a really good

284
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,400
that we have, I'm really happy that I think all more picks, I think we did all a really good job.

285
00:22:43,780 --> 00:22:49,720
And we got some new people and new blood to see kind of, that might help with future decisions if we include them in it.

286
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:50,860
Yeah, that's the same.

287
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:53,800
And then if it becomes an issue, then I think we could overwrite them.

288
00:22:54,360 --> 00:23:00,620
But I mean, we've established in our trust that say we decide we want to do this.

289
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,380
We want to get two picnic tables, and we want to have the money for new playground.

290
00:23:05,380 --> 00:23:13,400
and we both unanimously do that, we still want to take it to the trust whereas our trust says it's not necessary.

291
00:23:13,940 --> 00:23:15,900
I feel like though, that's why they're there.

292
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:19,260
Or maybe we have a joint meeting and you know, at least it's legal.

293
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,400
The request for the non-profit money wouldn't have to go to the trust.

294
00:23:23,460 --> 00:23:26,580
Yes, right. But the parks don't do that.

295
00:23:26,580 --> 00:23:28,120
I think Stephanie meant the park.

296
00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:32,380
I mean, I could see that...

297
00:23:32,380 --> 00:23:44,640
That's a large amount of money, but it's directly speaks to what the money is

298
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:52,600
therefore. I'd be curious to see how they do. I think it'll be beneficial to

299
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,960
know their thoughts on how the money should go.

300
00:23:58,860 --> 00:24:00,720
I don't feel like anybody was

301
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:06,140
really negative ever for anything with the part. I think two years on

302
00:24:06,140 --> 00:24:10,240
first press, I'm very hopeful with the group that we have. Well, I think they

303
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,680
want more detail, but that was as close to I think feathers got rough old

304
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,760
when when that came to the council says unanimously that we get the money

305
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,920
we get the money. I saw eyeballs go up. Yeah, I think it just scares some

306
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,900
people, which I mean, I get it, you know, they're there to be useful to

307
00:24:28,580 --> 00:24:33,600
I'm not confident that we wouldn't be able to come to the

308
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,080
resolution that we all want if we include them.

309
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,940
I'm nervous about going over them initially because that's

310
00:24:42,940 --> 00:24:45,120
what we all ask them to be there for.

311
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,680
And I have no problem going over them if I have to,

312
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,500
if I feel like that is the best thing to do for this village.

313
00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:58,820
Bill how is the trust in it kind of floated

314
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:28,920
Order didn't. It changed a little, not much. It's overall, it's doing great. So we, we're. Yeah. He always got that difference between the value with the unrealized gains and that there's two sets of numbers, but it's, I think it's about 1.6. That's amazing. It's not really all that price is like this bottom one here is, you know, that's not huge. That's 82.5. Yeah. Top of the hundred.

315
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:46,160
I agree with lowering the number of them, because nobody really had to, as long as they filled

316
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,760
it out, we didn't even have to do interviews this year.

317
00:25:48,940 --> 00:25:52,060
And last year there was only four for five.

318
00:25:52,380 --> 00:25:53,360
Four for five?

319
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:53,580
Yeah.

320
00:25:53,580 --> 00:25:59,680
So do you think $2,000 or $2,000, what are they $2,000 now?

321
00:26:00,180 --> 00:26:01,060
$4,000?

322
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:01,700
Yeah.

323
00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:05,300
So it would decrease the amount that we're asking from Burke

324
00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:08,320
every year for the scholarships would increase than we could

325
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,380
kind of use that $10,000, we could put somewhere else.

326
00:26:11,540 --> 00:26:11,740
Yeah.

327
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,680
I just think it's not competitive enough, but then maybe it's

328
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,160
just not getting talked about enough.

329
00:26:18,260 --> 00:26:19,080
How can we?

330
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,600
Well, you know, I guess, too, if we

331
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,520
We switched it to $5,000 scholarships and then we have 15 applied.

332
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:31,920
We could always go back to the trust and ask for a third, 15 or a third of that.

333
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,380
Well then should we hit the middle and say let's maybe try for three $5,000 scholarships.

334
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,760
Where we were doing five, four, so this is 20 that would still be five grand left.

335
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,460
No, are we able to, could be $2,500 a key.

336
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:48,480
Choose different colors.

337
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:54,600
So I mean it would be, yeah, probably red and gray would be great, red seeds would be quick.

338
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:03,320
Yeah, but I mean pink and green are kind of a little bit overpowering, but I do like aesthetically sleazy.

339
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:09,520
This is the one I want it for the Frank Manning Memorial playground.

340
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,640
There's no price on it.

341
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,820
So how do we change this scholarship?

342
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:31,360
We have to make a motion for this committee, but whenever we've changed it before, we've had changes.

343
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,320
It's been updated by three or four times since I've been here.

344
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:43,340
Right, but there's also differences in how much kids now pay for books and supplies.

345
00:27:43,340 --> 00:27:47,700
with things going digital used to be they had to do books and supplies now for

346
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:52,800
instance they have the option to take it to use it all for tuition or some

347
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,380
still for books and supplies so but it's always being modified at this level

348
00:27:57,380 --> 00:28:02,920
right here. I'm like I'm going to go play. I'm going to do that next year when we're ready for

349
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,940
fellowship. That's when I'm going to make it. Okay. You could do it in any of your

350
00:28:07,940 --> 00:28:09,620
meetings as far as that goes you know.

351
00:28:13,690 --> 00:28:17,910
It's hard to maintain this is concerned, it's about a plastic or metal for

352
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,020
the playground.

353
00:28:22,060 --> 00:28:23,560
Most of it's that plastic stuff.

354
00:28:24,380 --> 00:28:26,620
Metal burns is why I think, right?

355
00:28:27,020 --> 00:28:35,200
I mean I just heard there was some places complaining that I don't know if it was a plastic or the metal.

356
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,580
I think it's plastic that, like the tubes and stuff, everything is so hot.

357
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:40,780
You know, like it's Hunter's.

358
00:28:40,780 --> 00:28:41,200
Yeah, metal.

359
00:28:41,380 --> 00:28:42,300
Yeah, metal.

360
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,000
Metal get Hunter too.

361
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,280
All right, so do we decide on a priority lesson?

362
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:48,520
I think so.

363
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:49,100
Okay.

364
00:28:49,580 --> 00:28:50,460
We did that.

365
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,060
And then I'm sorry.

366
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:54,680
We did decide on the top three.

367
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,660
We said, I know we talked about playground.

368
00:28:58,380 --> 00:29:01,060
And then picnic table next to the table.

369
00:29:01,860 --> 00:29:05,660
And then I like the idea of like one year.

370
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:06,340
Okay.

371
00:29:06,660 --> 00:29:10,060
For right now, until we can reevaluate the other idea.

372
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:11,900
I think if it's been there that long,

373
00:29:11,900 --> 00:29:19,700
and we know it's good that maybe we should maybe try for just two and see with the price.

374
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:26,280
That's just my opinion obviously, but with the price, if I may, two might help with the

375
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,760
shipping because I think I remember when we ordered that, the shipping cost rivaled the

376
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:36,080
cost of the table because on a freight truck and I'm thinking that that's one of the things

377
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,920
that made it so expensive you might get that second one for a lot less freight.

378
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:46,680
Yeah, do we have any like I don't think they do, but I know feed muscles a lot of concrete material

379
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,820
That do they do any picnic tables at all I've never seen one day

380
00:29:50,820 --> 00:29:51,640
I didn't think so

381
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:56,160
I know they do got such watch. What was the third thing Stephanie?

382
00:29:56,420 --> 00:29:56,960
I don't know

383
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,740
The exercise stations are kind of

384
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:16,360
I think we discussed that if there's something came up, right? Like if there's a repair, I'm going to look into the cost of extending the law path.

385
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:29,900
We'll make that five. We have more information on report back on a lower restaurant. Yeah. Well, can we go ahead? I'd like to make a motion to modify.

386
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:34,360
buy the scholarships, I'd like to go ahead and get that done for a future business, so

387
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:34,860
I don't forget.

388
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:41,360
So I think I'd like to make the money should be to make the scholarship to change the

389
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:49,480
modified the scholarship to 5, 4,000 scholarships to 3,000 dollars scholarship in the end

390
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,460
on the rate of $25,000 a year.

391
00:30:54,020 --> 00:30:55,000
I'll say it again.

392
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,380
How are we doing?

393
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:58,120
Say it again.

394
00:31:00,500 --> 00:31:02,640
Three five thousand dollars.

395
00:31:03,300 --> 00:31:09,360
Instead of a five four thousand dollars, it would take the scholarship price from twenty thousand to fifteen thousand.

396
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,560
So it would lower that in the work press.

397
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,920
And then we would give out three instead of five.

398
00:31:14,620 --> 00:31:16,680
Okay. But there's still two year scholarships.

399
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,840
They get twenty five hundred or three year for two years.

400
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:20,240
Sorry.

401
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,140
All right, so that's going to be a recommendation to council.

402
00:31:24,580 --> 00:31:27,700
I can do that this evening, but I'm in motion about the news.

403
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:28,880
I'm not sure if I can.

404
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:30,400
Call the roll.

405
00:31:32,140 --> 00:31:32,540
Yes.

406
00:31:32,740 --> 00:31:33,740
I want me to do this.

407
00:31:34,140 --> 00:31:35,800
Ms. Hallfield?

408
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:36,160
Yes.

409
00:31:36,540 --> 00:31:36,920
Ms. Ross?

410
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:37,200
Yes.

411
00:31:37,660 --> 00:31:37,960
Ms. Brown?

412
00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:38,360
Yes.

413
00:31:43,020 --> 00:31:51,920
I think that based on the community grant that we discussed, we'll probably have to call

414
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:59,560
meeting with the trust I agree for that to discuss that what our things are

415
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:05,260
that maybe should we make a request from the trust for that money well that

416
00:32:05,260 --> 00:32:11,840
we're we're talking about that for 2019 okay not yet no I think we should

417
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:16,280
probably try to college with meeting with them to talk about some of these

418
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:26,600
plans and then talk about the meeting with the bank. Yeah. Yeah. I can I'll talk to John this

419
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:32,380
Sunday and ask him if there's been any. I think meetings. Well, I can text Theresa and find out.

420
00:32:32,660 --> 00:32:40,960
I mean, aren't they supposed to have their meeting here? Down here. So they probably haven't had an

421
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,080
So maybe we should call one how did they we made all these requests

422
00:32:48,060 --> 00:32:49,360
That was a joint meeting

423
00:32:50,220 --> 00:32:53,340
There's been no more requests. We've got that money

424
00:32:53,340 --> 00:32:59,280
But there's a little wild as they had the bank had to we had to update some paperwork because the bank

425
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:08,280
Needed some what was it Travis? They needed new signatures or something it took a few weeks normally when I

426
00:33:09,460 --> 00:33:15,220
process the paperwork that signed off on, usually within 10 days, we have the

427
00:33:15,220 --> 00:33:19,880
disbursement. This time it took well over a month because they did an internal

428
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,820
check of something along and then they came back with questions we had to

429
00:33:23,820 --> 00:33:28,160
update some paperwork for some new rules I guess that are in place. But we

430
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,200
did we did get it. So do we need them to have their meeting with the bank before we

431
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,020
We have meeting with them.

432
00:33:33,300 --> 00:33:33,940
She'll be helpful.

433
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:34,800
Okay.

434
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:37,320
Can we attend that meeting they have with the bank?

435
00:33:37,460 --> 00:33:38,620
It's open, isn't it?

436
00:33:39,020 --> 00:33:40,180
It's open to the public.

437
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,300
I'd like for them to schedule the meeting with the bank and then let us know.

438
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,900
So one of us can be there?

439
00:33:45,980 --> 00:33:46,220
Yes.

440
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,900
That's what my, I think they have to schedule it here.

441
00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:52,020
So they would have to go through.

442
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:52,460
I don't know.

443
00:33:52,500 --> 00:33:52,680
I don't know.

444
00:33:53,340 --> 00:33:53,740
Okay.

445
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,500
That's what I think for them.

446
00:33:55,660 --> 00:33:56,260
I'd like to do.

447
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,120
Then we can, after that, we can address some of these issues.

448
00:34:00,380 --> 00:34:00,660
Okay.

449
00:34:00,660 --> 00:34:01,780
and then actual meeting.

450
00:34:02,340 --> 00:34:04,020
I agree, yeah, okay.

451
00:34:04,300 --> 00:34:06,780
Is that it for our business for the CME?

452
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:07,720
I think it is.

453
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:08,300
Okay, so.

454
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,260
I'd like to make a motion to adjourn this meeting.

455
00:34:11,900 --> 00:34:14,420
I know, motion, move that we adjourn it.

456
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:16,260
Second, nice.

457
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:17,760
Miss Allfew?

458
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:18,280
Yes.

459
00:34:18,660 --> 00:34:19,100
Miss Ross?

460
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:19,360
Yes.

461
00:34:19,780 --> 00:34:20,120
Miss Brown?

462
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:20,560
Yes.
