1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,400
Okay, let's, let's get started. And if others join, we can get going. I don't think this has to be that long of a meeting. It's a lot of information, though, to get everybody up to speed. And so we'll, we'll open our meeting, thankful everybody for being here. Doesn't look like we have any public online for comments. Colby, you have somebody there? I'm here for a park request.

2
00:00:29,940 --> 00:00:40,420
Okay, big and create. Okay, probably for the during the park. Are you requesting or have you already submitted a request? Yes, I am. So now we can probably just cover that during the new event.

3
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,240
I'm filled requests.

4
00:00:42,340 --> 00:00:42,540
Okay.

5
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,080
I appreciate it.

6
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:44,400
And always.

7
00:00:47,530 --> 00:00:47,910
Alrighty.

8
00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:58,410
The next item is our board meeting approval. Meeting minutes approval for the March 16th meeting.

9
00:00:59,050 --> 00:01:04,810
Do I have a motion to approve those? I move to approve the minutes from the March 16th meeting.

10
00:01:06,030 --> 00:01:06,210
Okay.

11
00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:18,630
I'll second.

12
00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:26,070
item is filled request and I wasn't aware of one but since we've got somebody here let's have them

13
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:33,470
come to the table and present. If you want to just get here with me so we can see you. Okay.

14
00:01:34,670 --> 00:01:44,630
Lucky you. All right. Okay so I was told by Diane Booth to come by. I submitted it through her and she let

15
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:51,210
let me know that you have a part authority for the New Bigam Creek fields, just west of

16
00:01:51,210 --> 00:01:58,170
here. I represent the Utah Ultimate Disco Association, which is a member of the United

17
00:01:58,170 --> 00:02:05,390
States of America Ultimate Association or USAU. I am planning a sanctioned club ultimate

18
00:02:05,390 --> 00:02:14,050
frisbee tournament for 12 teams, hopefully more, which requires about three full size soccer

19
00:02:14,050 --> 00:02:21,770
fields they're about twice the size of an ultimate Frisbee field is only 40 yards. I have my

20
00:02:21,770 --> 00:02:27,010
certificate of liability insurance through USAU if that's of interest and I can answer any

21
00:02:27,010 --> 00:02:33,530
questions about the event if you have them. It's July 11th and 12th.

22
00:02:35,950 --> 00:02:38,430
Okay, I know we did an ultimate

23
00:02:38,430 --> 00:02:47,590
at Frisbee approved one earlier this year, so if, and if Diane's had you come, then she'll

24
00:02:47,590 --> 00:02:54,050
need that liability coverage as part of the application. Yes, yeah, I'm aware. I think I,

25
00:02:54,190 --> 00:02:57,770
maybe you have email the tour or I was waiting for this, but I'll email it back to her.

26
00:02:59,050 --> 00:03:06,250
As of right now, Salt Lake County is named on the liability here, so it's covered through USAU for

27
00:03:06,250 --> 00:03:11,270
of millions of dollars. I don't really know how to, what's important.

28
00:03:13,570 --> 00:03:14,870
She'll know and

29
00:03:14,870 --> 00:03:21,090
should probably list our park authority as additional insured as well. Okay. But Don,

30
00:03:21,230 --> 00:03:24,290
didn't we approve this last meeting? That's what I was thinking.

31
00:03:26,780 --> 00:03:28,140
Let me look at that. I,

32
00:03:29,460 --> 00:03:32,520
was that on our, was it our last meeting?

33
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,660
We certainly talked about it. I couldn't remember the date.

34
00:03:38,660 --> 00:03:41,580
Is it in the minutes?

35
00:03:41,860 --> 00:03:44,780
I think the minutes said that there were no approvals.

36
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:52,860
Yeah, I think it was on the one before that that we approved it.

37
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,520
I know that there was, I know there's been a disc golf approved.

38
00:03:59,020 --> 00:04:00,840
So when did you talk to Diane last?

39
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:06,260
Probably right after your last meeting, I think it was late March.

40
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:16,900
okay and she told me to pop out on the third one third Monday of the month. So yeah I know

41
00:04:16,900 --> 00:04:25,380
that we've approved a disc golf or an ultimate Frisbee comp application so and we just it was

42
00:04:25,380 --> 00:04:30,260
approved it was approved condition on having Diane receive everything so.

43
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,040
Right so I would just have

44
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:41,420
Yeah, I would get a circle back with Diane. Yeah, you just circle back with Diane, and if she has any questions

45
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,740
She'll work with the the staff there at the park and or give me a

46
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,840
Give me a call for board questions

47
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,860
All right, that works for me

48
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:53,940
So sorry to

49
00:04:54,840 --> 00:05:00,280
Make you come all the way to a meeting that everybody's online. Oh, no worries. No worries

50
00:05:02,180 --> 00:05:16,040
And your name again, I'm sorry Eli Wolk W. Okay. Okay. Thank you Eli. Yeah. Thank you all best of luck with your with your event. Thank you. I'm participating in it too. So I have to win.

51
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:16,360
Yeah.

52
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,720
Good for you.

53
00:05:22,110 --> 00:05:33,850
Okay, we welcome Sonia and Angela and Blake, so our next item is we don't have any other

54
00:05:33,850 --> 00:05:40,370
field requests today, so our next item is a park operation maintenance report Blake.

55
00:05:41,650 --> 00:05:43,390
Yes, can you guys hear me?

56
00:05:43,970 --> 00:05:44,130
Yes.

57
00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:44,850
Yeah.

58
00:05:44,890 --> 00:05:45,130
Awesome.

59
00:05:45,490 --> 00:05:48,710
Okay, the park has been fertilized.

60
00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:57,090
we fertilized it two weeks ago. It's our first spring fertilizing there. We will fertilize it again

61
00:05:57,090 --> 00:06:04,510
also in four more weeks as far as the soccer fields we will fertilize again I should say.

62
00:06:05,870 --> 00:06:11,550
We had to pick up over the weekend with some sprinklers. We had a valve that was open.

63
00:06:12,270 --> 00:06:18,410
The clocks were off and it was a valve to water some trees. So we had a little snafu with

64
00:06:18,410 --> 00:06:22,490
that, but we called the crew out over the weekend and they got that taken care of.

65
00:06:23,930 --> 00:06:28,930
The guys are just, they're preparing, they did a bunch of, we were a little bit behind

66
00:06:28,930 --> 00:06:35,590
on our fall cutbacks, but they got that all done, it was the last week of the week before

67
00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:39,810
we sent a crew out, so everything's spruced up, ready to go.

68
00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:45,750
As they were doing that, we've had a lot of new growth in our rose bushes.

69
00:06:45,750 --> 00:06:49,910
we were really concerned about the condition of our rose bushes from last summer.

70
00:06:51,090 --> 00:06:55,890
So the rose bushes have snapped back and we got a lot of new growth on them. So

71
00:06:56,850 --> 00:07:05,630
yeah, we're just just knocking things out. Soccer has started and it's been busy. The guys,

72
00:07:07,130 --> 00:07:12,830
it's been hectic is to figuring out where soccer fields are going to be played where and the

73
00:07:12,830 --> 00:07:18,910
placement of those. We got it all done at the last second. We figured out the goal situation.

74
00:07:21,750 --> 00:07:27,510
We, I think it's copper mountain or whatever the club is. They brought some goals. But

75
00:07:28,350 --> 00:07:35,370
we, the concept of the park was that we were going to provide the goals for all usage so that we could

76
00:07:35,370 --> 00:07:42,490
dictate as to where the soccer fields are placed. But we're still a little bit behind in that. We

77
00:07:42,490 --> 00:07:43,850
to kind of let that slip through the cracks.

78
00:07:44,650 --> 00:07:47,110
So we need to purchase some goals and have that done.

79
00:07:47,710 --> 00:07:49,490
It's been hectic getting those fields painted.

80
00:07:49,690 --> 00:07:54,170
We have some new robots to paint the fields.

81
00:07:54,850 --> 00:07:56,210
And in theory, those robots,

82
00:07:56,530 --> 00:08:00,070
you kind of set your corners and it all goes off of GPS

83
00:08:00,070 --> 00:08:02,050
and then put the paint in the robot

84
00:08:02,050 --> 00:08:03,350
and it just does its thing.

85
00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:06,330
You tell the robot what field size you want

86
00:08:06,330 --> 00:08:07,230
and it does its thing.

87
00:08:07,530 --> 00:08:10,670
And the issue that we found is the tires on the robots

88
00:08:10,670 --> 00:08:18,790
or plastic and if you have any sort of moisture on the grass the robot just

89
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:25,090
wants to sit spin. So what should have been a couple hour job in painting

90
00:08:25,090 --> 00:08:32,670
that turned into it literally turned into a two-day affair and so we might go

91
00:08:32,670 --> 00:08:39,070
back to an old school way of painting that if we can't get the robots to work the

92
00:08:39,070 --> 00:08:46,210
way we want them to. But we'll see. Either way, they got the fields painted. We were concerned that we

93
00:08:46,210 --> 00:08:52,650
weren't going to have enough field space just because of the different field dimensions that every

94
00:08:52,650 --> 00:09:00,330
little nuance in the leagues need. So there might be some spillover play in the lower bowl and there might

95
00:09:00,330 --> 00:09:08,670
be some spillover play in the passive area that's to the south end of the parking lot along 102. And in

96
00:09:08,670 --> 00:09:14,390
those areas in the lower ball would be some of the groups that just want to drop in and play,

97
00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:20,210
some of the clubs that just people that show up and want to play. And in the area along 102,

98
00:09:20,490 --> 00:09:27,630
it would be the younger kids that the 6v6 type field because it's just not that area isn't

99
00:09:27,630 --> 00:09:35,330
big enough to accommodate a regular soccer field. So we'll battle that when it comes. But yeah,

100
00:09:35,330 --> 00:09:37,470
Yeah, soccer is gonna be crazy busy this year,

101
00:09:37,690 --> 00:09:38,990
but we're excited for it.

102
00:09:39,810 --> 00:09:43,110
So yeah, anyway, that's what I have to report.

103
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:48,720
Angela.

104
00:09:50,020 --> 00:09:53,260
Yeah, with Blake talking about playing soccer

105
00:09:53,260 --> 00:09:55,180
in that little strip of grass,

106
00:09:55,420 --> 00:09:56,420
between a hundred and second

107
00:09:56,420 --> 00:09:57,860
and having the little kids on it,

108
00:09:58,580 --> 00:10:00,680
I guess I would have some concerns

109
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:03,120
about balls being kicked into the road

110
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,780
and little kids running off

111
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:08,660
or how are we gonna kind of address that

112
00:10:08,660 --> 00:10:10,840
if that's who we're allowing to play on that field.

113
00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:17,540
If we have to go that route, it's easy to set a temporary fence up,

114
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,860
just for that, you know, in case there is, you know, any safety issue.

115
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,960
And that's what we do. We'd set a temporary fence up along the south side of what it

116
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,420
were, however, the field sits.

117
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,760
The only reason I see that we would need that is the

118
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,440
wear and tear of the big field. We have space on the big field.

119
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:46,320
our original concept was to there's there's six I should say allotments on the

120
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:52,260
big field for six individual soccer fields and the concept was to give two of

121
00:10:52,260 --> 00:10:57,740
them a rest so that we were in constant rotation but what we found is that we

122
00:10:57,740 --> 00:11:05,820
have a really high demand of drop-in play and then it is it is all the

123
00:11:05,820 --> 00:11:12,240
different variances of, you know, for instance, Salt Lake counties running their program there,

124
00:11:12,420 --> 00:11:19,220
and then this other club is running their program there, and they have numerous different field

125
00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:26,760
size requests. So, in a sense, our whole soccer field, the whole big area, is being used.

126
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:35,180
There's not any fields for rest. And so, as we go on and we thought if we needed to give an area

127
00:11:35,180 --> 00:11:41,680
rest. We would, in a sense, we would kick the little kids over there. And like you said, for safety

128
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:47,680
issues, we'd, we'd put up a temporary fence like a, you see those snow fences that are kind of

129
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:52,780
the orange mash. We would put that up to, as a safety precaution. We hope that we don't have to

130
00:11:52,780 --> 00:11:59,280
get through it, but we had to, we had to think outside the box and saying, look, what if we don't have

131
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,060
enough space for soccer here? And it's crazy to think that we don't. You go out to that parking

132
00:12:03,060 --> 00:12:05,020
And you're like, wow, there's plenty of space for soccer,

133
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,400
but we found that we are having to cram everything in.

134
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,020
So anyway, yeah, that's kind of a long answer,

135
00:12:14,140 --> 00:12:15,560
but yeah, we put up a temporary fence

136
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:18,120
to protect the balls and ultimately protect the children.

137
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,300
So Blake, how do you decide if the fields need a rest?

138
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,400
Like, what's the criteria on that?

139
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:28,220
Once we start seeing that the turf isn't recuperating

140
00:12:28,980 --> 00:12:32,060
and ultimately, that happens around those goal sites.

141
00:12:32,060 --> 00:12:38,740
So the fields were designed, those plots or those allotments were designed so that those fields are running north and south.

142
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:45,220
And a couple of them, we actually have them running east and west. There's enough room that we had to switch them.

143
00:12:45,780 --> 00:12:54,580
So it's just kind of a mod podge of soccer fields within the bigger soccer field complex.

144
00:12:54,580 --> 00:13:12,020
So yeah, we would just rotate, hopefully we don't run at this with a good fertilizer program and and and good aeration, hopefully we don't run into it, but it's again it's going to depend on how much wear and tear and we we don't know because we haven't experienced it at this part.

145
00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:19,840
So this is kind of our first year in having to deal with organized soccer there.

146
00:13:20,220 --> 00:13:25,200
Now, we've obviously had a lot of soccer played there that's drop in play, but yeah.

147
00:13:25,420 --> 00:13:29,340
So we'll stay heavy on the fertilizer, stay heavy on the nutrient program.

148
00:13:29,340 --> 00:13:32,840
And hopefully we don't run into too much wear and tear.

149
00:13:33,340 --> 00:13:38,580
But it's when we start seeing the turf not recovering in those heavy use areas, especially around those goals.

150
00:13:41,340 --> 00:13:47,480
So I was going to say, so do you expect us, I mean, what, we're three weekends into league

151
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,780
play now.

152
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:51,320
Yes.

153
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,260
Yes, because they started the first of the first of April.

154
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:55,540
Yeah.

155
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:04,120
So you so far so good or are we thinking we just need to kind of watch it week by week and maybe

156
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:10,460
by middle of because these first leagues go tell the mid-June or something, right?

157
00:14:11,060 --> 00:14:18,800
Yes, and so far it's been good. The park is new, it's new, the turf is new, and so like

158
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:25,460
you'll see that you guys have probably noticed that it still looks dormant, which it has been. The park

159
00:14:25,460 --> 00:14:33,780
hasn't quite been awake yet as far as the turf goes, but it'll kick around once it greens up,

160
00:14:33,780 --> 00:14:38,540
once it comes completely fully out of dormancy which is nice having snow

161
00:14:38,540 --> 00:14:42,940
last week and then you get 80 degrees days that makes for good good grass growth

162
00:14:42,940 --> 00:14:47,920
and as long as we keep pounding the fertilizer to it keep that going

163
00:14:49,060 --> 00:14:53,340
um yeah we'll just um it'll be a week by week thing um

164
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,800
you know it's it's so far it's it's been good so and hopefully we have enough

165
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,060
We're not on crazy restrictions that we can just keep that going all summer, so. Because.

166
00:15:10,580 --> 00:15:29,920
Because none of those fields are resting at all. Do we need to potentially take into consideration of fencing off areas at a time to allow them to rest. Rather than putting up fencing for little kids and their balls. Could we put up fencing to allow certain areas.

167
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:37,260
to rest? I mean in theory that would be great, but I have no way to police that. And it goes

168
00:15:37,260 --> 00:15:42,740
into, even though the leagues will stop, you know, their league play stops in June, we have noticed

169
00:15:42,740 --> 00:15:49,100
that it is the drop-in play. It's clubs that are playing elsewhere that are like, hey, let's go over

170
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:56,140
to being in pre-compractice. It's all that drop-in play that there's no way for us to police it or to

171
00:15:56,140 --> 00:16:02,000
control it. Yes, it's an open park and an open field and as long as there's not a reservation,

172
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:07,460
then absolutely come play soccer at the park. So yeah, in theory, like if we could

173
00:16:07,460 --> 00:16:11,720
fence it off, that'd be great, but people just tear the fence down and go play soccer. That's what

174
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:17,440
they do. We have no way of policing that. So are the goals, are the goals being moved, are

175
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,200
goals permanent that lead there? I mean, that seems to be the area that gets the most wear and tear

176
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:27,800
is in the goal box area. And you're setting those permanently through this

177
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:34,400
league time? No, they're not they're not permanent. In fact each of those

178
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,540
leagues has the ability to move the goals and what we've done is is we've set

179
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:45,080
aside different places to move goals. We've also moved the garbage cans out of we

180
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:51,980
have that big fence in area that's on the far west end of the parking lot

181
00:16:51,980 --> 00:16:56,020
there. We've told them that they can move their goals in there if they're fit to protect the goals so

182
00:16:56,020 --> 00:17:02,500
they don't get vandalized and damaged. In fact, we had a club. It was a club that reached out to

183
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:08,680
email us on. It's a it's a it's a comp team out of Utah County that had been playing at Bingham Creek

184
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:16,060
and they indicated that they did have those fields reserved and at the time they were just dropping in.

185
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:21,060
We told them, you know, you would have to they'd have to go through the process. If you guys

186
00:17:21,060 --> 00:17:25,860
what your field reserved so my point of it is is they've dropped their goals off and we've told them

187
00:17:25,860 --> 00:17:31,080
that's fine you guys can play here but you're gonna have to play in the lower bowl and so what these

188
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,840
leagues do is they they'll take the goals at the end when they're done playing game they'll take

189
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,400
them and move them off to the side a lot of times they chain them together so you know the goals don't

190
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,880
disappear so no they're not they're permanent they're just they're in the same spot during the

191
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:52,200
games right so that that help that does help the in prompt to wear in terror I think a little bit

192
00:17:52,840 --> 00:18:01,540
yes yes absolutely yes okay well I think we just kind of go week by week and month by month and

193
00:18:01,540 --> 00:18:12,180
but hopefully hopefully we don't get into a into a restoration process again yeah

194
00:18:12,180 --> 00:18:29,160
Hey, don't you now be a good time to talk about Jordan Valley's recent action and yeah, you should probably get so there is an update on the water Blake. I think that's what Colby's leaning to so go ahead Colby.

195
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:35,640
So, like, just for your information, Jordan Valley Board voted last week, or maybe it was

196
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:43,660
a week before, to move their water shortage restrictions to what they call level 2.

197
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:52,580
And in a nutshell, that means that they are asking each municipality and water user that

198
00:18:52,580 --> 00:18:56,460
they provide water to cut their watering back by 10%.

199
00:18:58,060 --> 00:19:05,920
So for just for example in our South Jordan parks we've gone through and identified locations where we feel like we can cut back.

200
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:13,800
We'll be presenting our water shortage plan to the city council and make sure that they get there by off.

201
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:24,080
But I wonder if it would be a conversation that we should have with regards to the park and what our actions should be in order to meet.

202
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:29,080
to Jordan Valley's level two drought plan.

203
00:19:29,980 --> 00:19:32,560
That you bring up a very good point, Colby,

204
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,760
and we've been asked by our mayor's office

205
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,140
to come up with the same plan.

206
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,840
And the plan we came up with within our own portfolio,

207
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,720
now mind you, Salt Lake County's portfolio takes in

208
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,040
that are parks that are owned by Salt Lake County.

209
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:56,220
they take in other parks that are not owned by us that we operate and then of

210
00:19:56,220 --> 00:20:01,260
course they take in two parks, Sugar House and being a creek that we're in

211
00:20:01,260 --> 00:20:06,980
agreements with with other municipalities. And what we did is we said look there's

212
00:20:06,980 --> 00:20:11,280
areas, passive areas within individual parks that we're going to cut back

213
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,880
water on to meet these goals of restrictions. But there's other areas that

214
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,300
absolutely we're not and we went through this a few years back when we had the

215
00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:27,740
drought and we've seen significant turf loss, we've seen detriment to trees and so in a

216
00:20:27,740 --> 00:20:32,860
sense in our plan as we're saying look, let's take Bingham Creek for example, is there areas

217
00:20:32,860 --> 00:20:40,760
within the park that we can cut back water the 10% or 20% in certain areas but other areas like

218
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:46,680
the soccer field that all right there might be room there's always room for improvement but these

219
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:53,980
These are critical areas that no, we are not willing to restrict the water on and our

220
00:20:53,980 --> 00:21:00,620
leadership from our division and our department is like, this is where we're standing because

221
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,340
we have to protect our assets.

222
00:21:04,140 --> 00:21:11,100
So Blake, what is the approach to being in Crete then and with all due respect to the

223
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:18,840
County Council, I think this board really is governing this park. And I'm not saying that

224
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:24,220
one way is right or one way is wrong. I'm just curious what the plan is for being

225
00:21:24,220 --> 00:21:30,760
a creek in particular, and especially because it's such a high water user within South

226
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,620
Jordan City boundaries. Well what we'll do is we'll say look this is historically this is how

227
00:21:35,620 --> 00:21:41,080
much water we've used there. And if you're asking us to cut 10% overall, we can do

228
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:48,920
that. What we'll do is we'll take other certain areas within the park and see how far we can push

229
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:55,380
that cut. So that we don't have to make that cut as much on the soccer field. I'm not saying the

230
00:21:55,380 --> 00:22:01,900
soccer field is going to be at net zero. It still might be 5% whatever it needs to be, but there's

231
00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:06,820
other areas of the park that we can cut back on to save those critical areas in the park. So that's

232
00:22:06,820 --> 00:22:08,940
approach that we will take it at Bingham Creek.

233
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,820
I like that. Do you know Blake, are your trees on a separate zone from

234
00:22:13,820 --> 00:22:15,820
grass? Can you wonder your trees separately?

235
00:22:16,940 --> 00:22:20,560
Yes, the only place that that's not the case is over at the bike track.

236
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,580
The bike track is the only place where trees aren't separate.

237
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:29,380
That makes sense. So it would be my recommendation to this board that

238
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:32,820
what Blake has outlined is the direction that we go

239
00:22:32,820 --> 00:22:46,940
So, I think that the trees, because they're such a high valuable asset, I would like to protect the trees, and then the sports fields as much as we can protect the sports fields, and then cut back wherever else we can.

240
00:22:47,740 --> 00:23:02,800
I think your drip irrigation, you know, those areas are probably fine. It's really the open turf that maybe we consider cutting back. And then in response to that, maybe we need to review what our recreational use is.

241
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:09,700
and what that means for the turf, and how that impacts the turf because turf, it has to have

242
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:15,520
water in order to recover from use. And if we're cutting back some areas, then maybe we look at

243
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:21,960
those areas and say, maybe we need to reduce our recreational use, or at least our contracted recreational

244
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,140
use. But that's my recommendation.

245
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:28,400
Yeah, I like it, Colby.

246
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,920
I think you've got a good plan, Blake,

247
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:39,140
So whatever we can do to help let me know do we need a vote or something from the board on this?

248
00:23:41,690 --> 00:23:50,810
I mean, I know it's not an action. I don't make it on the agenda, but right. I think is there any any concerns or is there support from the board to go

249
00:23:50,810 --> 00:23:53,810
with the with the the planned

250
00:23:55,290 --> 00:24:01,450
recommendations from as Blake and Colby have discussed from the board. I think if we just give a support

251
00:24:02,890 --> 00:24:04,630
That's when I was gonna recommend is just

252
00:24:05,430 --> 00:24:07,650
I think all black needs is some direction.

253
00:24:09,540 --> 00:24:10,350
I support it.

254
00:24:10,610 --> 00:24:14,650
I support preserving our assets and kind of allocating according to the most important

255
00:24:14,650 --> 00:24:15,050
needs.

256
00:24:15,710 --> 00:24:16,650
I do too.

257
00:24:17,630 --> 00:24:18,530
I support as well.

258
00:24:20,970 --> 00:24:30,050
I think that regular updates and maybe even if it's needed like in between meetings, if

259
00:24:30,050 --> 00:24:42,510
There's things that come up that the board would need to know so that we can react to either ahead of a board meeting or add a board meeting if you'll just keep us up to date. I think that would be helpful.

260
00:24:43,210 --> 00:24:52,950
I mean, I've had council members as well as community members already asking me about the excessive use.

261
00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:57,690
the, you know, there's a thousand kids down there on that park every night as

262
00:24:57,690 --> 00:25:03,750
what I've heard. So yeah, for sure. Colby, I have a question for you. You know,

263
00:25:03,870 --> 00:25:09,790
right now it's at a level two from from the water district. What what would a

264
00:25:09,790 --> 00:25:15,130
level three look like? Because I think we as we operators of the park that we we

265
00:25:15,130 --> 00:25:19,950
can't assume that we'll stay at a level two. So have they given any

266
00:25:19,950 --> 00:25:23,750
the indication what a level three cup back would look like?

267
00:25:24,270 --> 00:25:27,030
Yeah, and from the top, off the top of my head,

268
00:25:27,130 --> 00:25:27,670
I don't remember.

269
00:25:27,890 --> 00:25:30,310
I do think for this year we'll stay at a level two.

270
00:25:32,430 --> 00:25:34,270
And so they're conversations,

271
00:25:34,570 --> 00:25:36,950
and I was in their board meeting when they were talking about it.

272
00:25:37,750 --> 00:25:41,390
The reservoirs that we take water from have a three-year supply.

273
00:25:42,010 --> 00:25:46,610
However, they're at about 65% total capacity,

274
00:25:47,190 --> 00:25:50,830
which means we only have about two years worth of water left in them. If we

275
00:25:50,830 --> 00:25:54,930
have another winter like we had this winter, then next year I think we'll see a

276
00:25:54,930 --> 00:26:00,990
boat for more restrictions. And at that point I think it becomes actually

277
00:26:00,990 --> 00:26:08,790
restricted watering rather than a recommended 10% cut. So I can blake what I'll

278
00:26:08,790 --> 00:26:14,570
do and if you want to, if you'd like me to do this, I can send sort of just an

279
00:26:14,570 --> 00:26:20,590
outline of what their restrictions look like for all of their levels and I can send it to

280
00:26:20,590 --> 00:26:25,710
this board just so we have that information available. But to answer your question Blake,

281
00:26:25,970 --> 00:26:31,570
it becomes far more restrictive with regards to what they're neck. I think they have four levels

282
00:26:31,570 --> 00:26:37,370
and we're at level two. Yeah, I think that information would be good to have so we can just have a long

283
00:26:37,370 --> 00:26:44,210
term plan. You know, my gut tells me that yeah, we have the years where it's good and you don't hear

284
00:26:44,210 --> 00:26:48,050
anything about it and then literally the next year we're in a drought and don't have any snow in

285
00:26:48,050 --> 00:26:53,830
the wintertime. So I think as far as having a long-term plan what does level two look like for us?

286
00:26:54,210 --> 00:26:59,270
Yeah okay we've come up with that plan but we need to plan for what level three looks like also so

287
00:26:59,270 --> 00:27:07,570
that we don't so we're not reactive to it that we're proactive to it. I can even send you what I'll

288
00:27:07,570 --> 00:27:11,750
send you what our plan with South Jordan's plan is you welcome to look at it and still whatever you

289
00:27:11,750 --> 00:27:17,390
lot from it. Awesome. Look at it. But a Blake, just for

290
00:27:17,390 --> 00:27:23,490
actively thinking about it, what kind of loss do we expect, or

291
00:27:23,490 --> 00:27:26,930
would you expect, and if I'm trying to put a financial number to

292
00:27:26,930 --> 00:27:31,670
it with water restrictions. As we start to think about budgeting

293
00:27:31,670 --> 00:27:37,990
items, you know, spending on new things may be restricted with

294
00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:41,310
if we're anticipating an impact, we have to clean up

295
00:27:41,790 --> 00:27:43,090
and restore next year.

296
00:27:46,790 --> 00:27:48,070
That's a hard question, but.

297
00:27:48,110 --> 00:27:48,550
Yeah, it is.

298
00:27:49,070 --> 00:27:51,150
And let me get back to you on that.

299
00:27:51,390 --> 00:27:52,110
I'm with Colby.

300
00:27:52,730 --> 00:27:55,310
Our trees are, I think our trees are the,

301
00:27:55,970 --> 00:27:58,190
our critical assets that you have to protect.

302
00:27:58,750 --> 00:28:00,770
Obviously we have to protect the turf

303
00:28:01,710 --> 00:28:05,590
in those recreation areas and our sports field areas.

304
00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:13,290
Yeah, it's a, I mean, you know, this large from being in your industry, it's a complex thing.

305
00:28:13,510 --> 00:28:14,410
We don't want to lose plants.

306
00:28:15,190 --> 00:28:21,590
I'm also concerned of the quality of water that will get because of the lack of snowpacked.

307
00:28:21,830 --> 00:28:27,290
We don't get that fresh, clean water that's coming out of the mountains right off the bat.

308
00:28:27,290 --> 00:28:52,650
So it's it's it's the ask of cutting back to 10 percent. That's fine. Like that doesn't that doesn't ruffle our feathers. We like that's that's somewhat of an easy task to do where where I'm concerned is the quality of water that will be coming down in July and August because we didn't have that snowpack coming through. Yeah, they're still supplying us the water, but it's the quality water that I worry about.

309
00:28:56,300 --> 00:29:02,420
And to go along with that lake, secondary use is going to be limited this year.

310
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,060
I mean, even secondary use.

311
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:11,500
There right now we're being told that water won't be in the canals until at least may first maybe later.

312
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,020
And depending on what that usage looks like from the canals.

313
00:29:16,660 --> 00:29:20,880
If they start depleting Utah Lake too much, I'm sure the canals will shut off early,

314
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:27,880
which means then we go back to potable water and our drinking water and so it's all symbiotic in

315
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:37,140
its relations and so wherever we can conserve that's I think what we should do. Yeah and I guess at

316
00:29:37,140 --> 00:29:43,460
that point in time you as a board if we're getting indications that that type of scenarios coming down

317
00:29:43,460 --> 00:29:49,920
the line and we have requests for fall soccer. I mean that's something that you guys will need to look

318
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:58,800
cat and say, is it worth it to schedule this for fall or we know the water situation is

319
00:29:58,800 --> 00:29:59,960
in dire, you know, it's...

320
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:09,540
And dire rounds, so do we not schedule soccer? Again, that's just something I guess we just have to try to use, you know, some foresight with.

321
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:31,320
Yeah, I think it's something that we need to be aware of and have touch points on it regularly so that we can react proactively. And maybe it's even something we put on our website that, you know, so that people are aware that we're, you know, that we're being proactive with it. Just a note.

322
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:37,420
somewhere. So I know that Rachel and her team within

323
00:30:37,420 --> 00:30:43,840
South Jordan City are creating some good messaging. If you want, we can get with

324
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,340
her and maybe borrow some of their messaging and tie it to the park.

325
00:30:53,380 --> 00:30:53,900
Yeah, let

326
00:30:53,900 --> 00:30:59,340
keep me updated on that. I'll watch for Rachel's and then we'll I'll get with

327
00:30:59,340 --> 00:31:03,500
Rachel to update our website so that it's consistent messaging.

328
00:31:04,780 --> 00:31:10,780
Sounds good. Thanks Blake. Any other questions for watering it for anybody?

329
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:14,500
Okay. Any other

330
00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:15,800
operational questions?

331
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:25,700
Okay. Moving on on our agenda, I have just a quick update,

332
00:31:25,980 --> 00:31:34,500
4800 West Tunnel, mural art that that subcommittee has met once as all. They're in the process

333
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:43,800
meeting with an artist and in our next meeting is next Tuesday I think and so

334
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:50,940
that that that's moving on. I'm just wondering if both Lars and Sonya is able

335
00:31:50,940 --> 00:31:55,160
to go to that or if we should have some other people sit in if they're

336
00:31:55,160 --> 00:32:01,460
unavailable. I'll be there. It's on my calendar. I just kind of make the first meeting.

337
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,040
Okay. So you guys are good. Okay.

338
00:32:12,140 --> 00:32:15,660
Hey, I'm just going to disclaim this right now if my computer

339
00:32:15,660 --> 00:32:25,000
shuts off, I've been getting all these system updates, Windows system updates. So if I accidentally

340
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:32,320
log off, that's where I've gone. You're fed up with us. My computers fed up. I hope I've been

341
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,240
trying to let's say not now.

342
00:32:37,950 --> 00:32:43,430
So that's on the tunnel mural. We'll see those. See you next Tuesday.

343
00:32:43,970 --> 00:32:48,990
Then a few small projects, subcommittee update. What do we have?

344
00:32:52,950 --> 00:33:01,070
So Amber and Lars and I went out and did a site visit last week and we've come up with three different

345
00:33:01,070 --> 00:33:10,150
thoughts. And I asked Ambra if she could maybe show some pictures of what we were thinking.

346
00:33:34,490 --> 00:33:40,790
Okay, so our first thought was maybe putting in some misters. It would serve us those that are

347
00:33:40,790 --> 00:33:49,490
playing soccer and also summertime that playground gets hot and the kids could come from the playground

348
00:33:49,490 --> 00:33:57,070
and the soccer people could yeah utilize that feature. If you scroll down yeah

349
00:33:57,070 --> 00:34:03,290
there's another version of it. Okay our second thought was there's some

350
00:34:03,290 --> 00:34:09,270
hills as you know berms up off the soccer fields they look towards the mountains

351
00:34:09,270 --> 00:34:16,890
so we talked about potentially putting some swings there. People could sit on

352
00:34:16,890 --> 00:34:26,030
know while they're watching the soccer they could yeah just go there to do that as an activity all on

353
00:34:26,030 --> 00:34:35,390
its own and to utilize that landscape feature and give it an additional purpose. If you want to

354
00:34:35,390 --> 00:34:45,150
scroll down just a little bit more just another option and then lastly in fact when we were out there

355
00:34:45,150 --> 00:34:53,370
last Wednesday night, we saw big kids sitting in the little baby swings. So, for a quick, easy fix,

356
00:34:54,050 --> 00:35:00,010
we'd like to switch out some of those baby swings and put big kids swings on so that older siblings

357
00:35:00,010 --> 00:35:08,410
can, yeah, have the option to swing. Yeah, potentially single, maybe putting like,

358
00:35:08,870 --> 00:35:13,970
I don't know what you call the net one she's sitting in, but like a disc swing or something.

359
00:35:13,970 --> 00:35:20,630
So, that would be quick, easy, and yeah, facilitate a current need that we're seeing there.

360
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,960
Just to clarify, did you say switch it out in the existing one or at?

361
00:35:29,060 --> 00:35:29,320
Yes.

362
00:35:29,740 --> 00:35:29,860
Yes.

363
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:36,420
Well, we currently there are six baby swings there for little babies.

364
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,660
And like I said, we saw big kids using them.

365
00:35:39,900 --> 00:35:42,080
I don't know that I really saw a little kid using them.

366
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:47,640
And so if we were to swap out maybe two of the baby swings or three of them and

367
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:49,280
put some

368
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,540
Just swings so that older kids could swing as well

369
00:35:53,460 --> 00:35:56,000
Yeah, we'd like to just add that

370
00:35:59,350 --> 00:36:01,830
Blake are you still on can we do that quickly?

371
00:36:02,810 --> 00:36:04,110
Yes, I am

372
00:36:05,290 --> 00:36:06,770
Yeah, I think we could do that

373
00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:10,890
Yeah, two or three of them I think would be an easy fix and serve a need

374
00:36:11,430 --> 00:36:12,910
Yes, for sure

375
00:36:16,090 --> 00:36:20,690
I just have a quick thought in question. I'm not a part of the small project committee,

376
00:36:20,750 --> 00:36:27,370
but I just wanted to mention when I was out at the park taking photos, you know, kind of just for the social media updates.

377
00:36:27,770 --> 00:36:37,770
I was approached by a lot of people who were visiting the park stating that they are hoping that we add any type of shade over the playground area.

378
00:36:37,770 --> 00:36:43,830
I know that's kind of getting more popular in like Arizona or like Las Vegas kind of due to the heat

379
00:36:43,830 --> 00:36:49,250
They like to keep the shade off of the playground areas because the you know the playplaces do get hot

380
00:36:49,710 --> 00:36:54,810
Is that something we could also put into consideration with this? I know I would based on some of those pictures

381
00:36:54,810 --> 00:36:59,830
Some of those kind of did have like a shading roofy type of feel to it

382
00:37:00,670 --> 00:37:01,850
Just putting that out there

383
00:37:02,670 --> 00:37:10,230
We had considered maybe putting some pavilions up as well so that there's shade options for the moms that are there.

384
00:37:11,150 --> 00:37:17,610
I don't know, Lars, in your opinion, what kind of cost are we looking at if we're trying to shade the play structures themselves?

385
00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:20,250
$100,000 or more.

386
00:37:20,870 --> 00:37:29,450
How many? How much? Sorry. In the $100,000 range. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Out. Okay. Not. Yeah.

387
00:37:30,150 --> 00:37:36,270
Good to know. I know that we put some in a park and we didn't spend nearly that much. Lars, we,

388
00:37:36,430 --> 00:37:44,850
I think it was paid sales. Yeah. Yeah. I think I think it was around between 30 and 40,000. But we

389
00:37:44,850 --> 00:37:50,710
installed them so we did we did the labor. Yeah, how many did you put up? I think we did three.

390
00:37:51,810 --> 00:38:00,540
Oh, well, there you go. At least it's something to look into. I just have a comment with regards to

391
00:38:00,540 --> 00:38:07,480
the sprays. Maybe this year's not the right year to do something like that just based on the water

392
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:13,980
situation. I know they don't use a lot but maybe it's the wrong messaging. Yeah, optics. Yeah,

393
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:22,660
Consider that. Yeah, when we were looking at it. So I mean, it'd be cool to find a way to have that

394
00:38:23,180 --> 00:38:26,920
Help the grass as well somehow be you know, replaced something

395
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,180
But even so the optics of it is not great, so

396
00:38:30,710 --> 00:38:36,740
And then in addition to that in a future phase if we're going to have a splash pad. Maybe that meets the need

397
00:38:36,740 --> 00:38:39,120
I just don't know when that will happen

398
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:44,800
Well, we were just talking about it servicing the people that are using the upper area

399
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,480
so that there's some type of relief from the heat, yeah.

400
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,700
So the splash pad could have their own misters.

401
00:38:52,860 --> 00:38:55,780
I think it would be a fun addition to it,

402
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,800
but this was to be like an added, yeah,

403
00:39:00,060 --> 00:39:04,140
to give an added use benefit to the users that are currently using.

404
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,700
Yeah, and I think we were thinking more along the lines

405
00:39:06,700 --> 00:39:09,640
of the first picture, most likely like a couple of those,

406
00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:13,060
rather than like a big huge splash pad kind of thing.

407
00:39:13,720 --> 00:39:17,780
But it goes to the same thing. It's not necessarily for the playground, but it's the cooling,

408
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:23,020
you know, we're trying to... I'm up with ideas without spending any money, like a ready-out.

409
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:32,560
I think that swings are an easy way. I like the idea of looking at something that,

410
00:39:32,660 --> 00:39:37,080
you know, you got all those heels out there along the soccer fields,

411
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:47,240
and um something like that that's being shown would could really add to the view in the you know

412
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:55,100
just kind of the leisure part of the park and I'm sure it would get used maybe abused but yeah

413
00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:05,220
I like okay so we can maybe go with this the swing routes for this year transfer out the baby

414
00:40:05,220 --> 00:40:13,640
swings and then look at maybe putting some potential pork swing type yeah options up on the hills.

415
00:40:14,420 --> 00:40:17,680
See what the costs are. Yeah.

416
00:40:19,730 --> 00:40:23,850
Okay. That's a winner. That's I like that idea.

417
00:40:27,470 --> 00:40:36,730
What would be our next step? Like obviously these have been designed by somebody. Are we going to need to

418
00:40:36,730 --> 00:40:45,150
contract with someone to come up with the design? Can we find these independently?

419
00:40:45,510 --> 00:40:52,190
Lars, what are your thoughts on that? Sorry which which piece? The swings like

420
00:40:52,190 --> 00:40:56,070
the porch swings. Are we going to need to contract with someone to design that or

421
00:40:56,070 --> 00:41:01,290
can we find that? I recommend to at least work with a playground vendor or

422
00:41:01,290 --> 00:41:06,530
somebody that would facilitate an office shelf product. Are there any other parks

423
00:41:06,530 --> 00:41:11,370
that have anything like that that we could reference or get information from or anything like that.

424
00:41:11,950 --> 00:41:18,570
I was in Lehigh last year at the opening of their family park and they have what you're showing

425
00:41:18,570 --> 00:41:23,830
there. Yeah, they have them on their hillside up above their playground. Yeah.

426
00:41:24,770 --> 00:41:29,730
So I don't know if we could connect with that city maybe and see how they did those.

427
00:41:29,730 --> 00:41:35,480
and Colby, I know that was taft. That was big T-Recreation.

428
00:41:35,500 --> 00:41:36,080
T-Recreation?

429
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:40,920
Yes, everywhere.

430
00:41:44,750 --> 00:41:51,090
Blake, is that something that the county can use their purchasing power through?

431
00:41:59,540 --> 00:42:01,220
I can't see who's online now.

432
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:07,480
I'm just wondering if it needs like the footers designed as well too, or would that come with?

433
00:42:07,780 --> 00:42:10,560
That would come with the equipment.

434
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,640
It would have specifications for footers.

435
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:19,920
Yeah, they would come with it. We'd have them bid it for the install as well. Colby,

436
00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:28,400
you got your hand up. I was communicating via a sign language to

437
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:36,920
Ambrath who's sitting over there. Sorry, don't. Colby, let Colby and I work with

438
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:42,060
Blake and Patrick and we'll see what and we'll get some estimates back from

439
00:42:42,060 --> 00:42:50,620
some vendors. Okay. When we were up there, we had talked about maybe like three single

440
00:42:50,620 --> 00:42:57,460
porch swings. So I know some of the pictures that I showed had two altogether, but that

441
00:42:57,460 --> 00:43:05,180
was kind of our thoughts initially. So three separate swinging units.

442
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,920
Yeah, let's have

443
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:19,260
have since we need to work through the purchasing policy at the county, let's work through

444
00:43:19,260 --> 00:43:31,200
that and we'll have them come back with those estimates. Okay. Okay. Great good work.

445
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:36,280
I like that. Anything else from that committee?

446
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,020
Next item is the Wasatch

447
00:43:43,020 --> 00:43:50,280
Gardens update and this is just really quick. The director emailed me back and

448
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:57,380
they're new I think if you recall right they have a new director and they're kind

449
00:43:57,380 --> 00:44:04,060
kind of re-focusing on what they're doing in the different areas of the valley.

450
00:44:05,540 --> 00:44:13,480
And what she'd like to do is later this fall put together a community engagement committee

451
00:44:14,460 --> 00:44:21,640
for a Southwest Valley garden, which if we still want to go that way, could potentially

452
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:28,800
be a Bingham Creek and so she'll be getting back with us as well as others to engage in a

453
00:44:29,260 --> 00:44:35,160
more comprehensive survey than what they did last time. In fact, they don't have all the,

454
00:44:35,940 --> 00:44:41,160
they've lost all of their information from their previous survey so they're just really going to

455
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:48,760
restart it. So we should hear something back from them in the fall. So she said,

456
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:58,480
Item the next item if for on this app application you'll be glad to know

457
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:08,860
I had to know that the county has the ZAP applications open as of today. Wow, a big turn of events

458
00:45:08,860 --> 00:45:19,460
last week or in the last couple weeks. They formulated what the ZAP plan would be. And so applications

459
00:45:19,460 --> 00:45:28,860
are out. I haven't heard officially if they've decided on what bond amount they're going

460
00:45:28,860 --> 00:45:34,100
to go after or what they're going to go towards. I think that's still under consideration,

461
00:45:34,380 --> 00:45:41,140
but they are they are putting together an application process is out there. And so the work that

462
00:45:41,140 --> 00:45:49,200
we've done with our master planning will is very timely because the grant applications

463
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:55,620
closed on May 22nd. Wow. It's a very fast turnaround.

464
00:45:58,180 --> 00:46:02,600
So I emailed Andrea this morning

465
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:09,620
when I found out that that was the case and so we'll be, she'll be helping us put

466
00:46:09,620 --> 00:46:16,680
together our application. So our next board meeting is on the 18th, which will be just

467
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:26,840
a few days before the grants are due, so expect to see our application and so you'll probably

468
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:37,300
have some discussions even between now and then. They have updated the master plan documents.

469
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:42,760
I know Angela has seen them as on vacation last weekend. I was having a hard time getting them.

470
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:48,900
they're very, very big documents. So I know everybody else hasn't seen them yet. And so

471
00:46:48,900 --> 00:46:56,860
when I get back to the office and I can have more technology abilities, I'll get them to you.

472
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,710
But Angela, they did a pretty good job, huh?

473
00:47:04,070 --> 00:47:12,330
Yeah, they took all of our recommendations and incorporated them into the master plan.

474
00:47:12,330 --> 00:47:19,910
And, well, I shouldn't say all, the majority of our recommendations and incorporated

475
00:47:19,910 --> 00:47:21,490
them into the master plan.

476
00:47:21,850 --> 00:47:28,490
So our four zones that we had talked about, the mountain view, the slush pad, the interactive

477
00:47:28,490 --> 00:47:35,030
plate and the garden has all been updated and incorporated with kind of the key points

478
00:47:35,030 --> 00:47:40,290
that we had requested that we would like to see come out of those areas.

479
00:47:40,290 --> 00:47:44,090
Yes, so yeah, so it's exciting.

480
00:47:44,930 --> 00:47:51,630
Yeah, I think the big message out of the first zap meeting and I only heard this second

481
00:47:51,630 --> 00:48:01,270
hand I wasn't at the meeting is that the county has, Patrick, you can correct me if

482
00:48:01,890 --> 00:48:02,610
I'm wrong.

483
00:48:02,770 --> 00:48:07,990
But what I heard was, is that they were considering either a 10 year zap bond, like we've done in

484
00:48:07,990 --> 00:48:17,710
the past or a larger 20 years app bond geo bond and but probably if they go with the smaller

485
00:48:17,710 --> 00:48:24,710
one it would be a lot of you know there's a whole lot of eligibility requirements for the grants

486
00:48:24,710 --> 00:48:32,330
and spacing them around the county is important and having an original need we check a lot of those

487
00:48:32,330 --> 00:48:41,690
boxes at Bingham Creek Regional Park. But depending on how much money is available for projects,

488
00:48:42,050 --> 00:48:49,390
it could be a lot of smaller projects and not one or two larger projects. That's kind of what I've

489
00:48:49,390 --> 00:48:56,930
been hearing through the grapevine. So doing what we've done, I think we can break our projects out

490
00:48:56,930 --> 00:49:05,570
and and and have a good set of eligible projects and depending on what funding

491
00:49:05,570 --> 00:49:06,470
levels available.

492
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:15,960
Don I am curious though that packet is showing an

493
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:20,040
administration building and we've never talked about that or the need for that

494
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:28,820
and so I'm just wondering about I saw I saw that too and I remember that I think

495
00:49:28,820 --> 00:49:34,200
we need to change, I thought we had said let's change the title of that because it's a rest

496
00:49:34,700 --> 00:49:41,240
room and a storage, not an administration, it was not necessarily an administration building.

497
00:49:42,540 --> 00:49:48,560
In the master plan, it talked about it having office space and rental space for

498
00:49:49,780 --> 00:49:56,400
events so currently the way it's being proposed and potentially submitted on our application.

499
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:01,640
It is being proposed as an administration building.

500
00:50:01,900 --> 00:50:03,820
Okay, I said all right.

501
00:50:04,060 --> 00:50:06,080
I thought we had talked about that.

502
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,380
I'll get with Angela or Andrea.

503
00:50:10,260 --> 00:50:12,580
But yeah, I don't think that would be one of our priorities.

504
00:50:13,900 --> 00:50:17,620
Yeah, especially if they're just like going smaller piecemeal.

505
00:50:19,100 --> 00:50:23,700
Yeah, so we had talked about well several months ago,

506
00:50:23,700 --> 00:50:32,220
the pick-o-ball which was on there the areas that we had looked at as a committee and I think we

507
00:50:32,220 --> 00:50:38,720
even talked about a dog part but I know that's not included in phase two but yeah we had never

508
00:50:38,720 --> 00:50:51,040
talked about the administration. Just follow up yeah on that. I'll follow up on that. Okay so more

509
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:57,940
information to come, and we should, by our next meeting, we should have a pretty good

510
00:50:57,940 --> 00:51:02,160
application draft. That's the plan, at least.

511
00:51:06,140 --> 00:51:09,840
Sonya, any, moving on, anything on stakeholder

512
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:17,630
relationships? Not very many updates on my end, aside from just getting lots of love on

513
00:51:17,630 --> 00:51:19,250
in our recent social media posts,

514
00:51:19,830 --> 00:51:23,150
outlining the amazing bathroom murals.

515
00:51:23,150 --> 00:51:24,490
Oh my gosh, I cannot even talk today.

516
00:51:25,410 --> 00:51:27,310
But no, that's been going wonderful.

517
00:51:27,450 --> 00:51:28,950
And I'm actually just really excited now

518
00:51:28,950 --> 00:51:31,270
that the weather's kind of getting better fingers crossed

519
00:51:32,150 --> 00:51:35,030
for us to actually start having events and people on the field

520
00:51:35,030 --> 00:51:37,490
because I'm definitely gonna be heading out there more

521
00:51:37,490 --> 00:51:39,670
to take more pictures and kind of catch things in action.

522
00:51:40,250 --> 00:51:41,790
I'm gonna be trying to highlight events

523
00:51:42,190 --> 00:51:43,270
that we already have scheduled.

524
00:51:43,850 --> 00:51:46,910
So if you do have anything that you want a specific shout out on,

525
00:51:46,910 --> 00:52:06,150
feel free to let me know. I'm always looking for like history cool facts about the park to share on social media, so if any of you guys have any, like background that you can share with me that would be okay to share with the public in like a social media post that would be awesome, but that's kind of where things are sitting right now for social media.

526
00:52:07,010 --> 00:52:08,110
Does anyone have any questions?

527
00:52:12,530 --> 00:52:18,330
I think if you get posts and pictures when people are out there playing, you got a thousand

528
00:52:18,330 --> 00:52:24,670
people running around on 45 acres of property that just kind of showing the activation of

529
00:52:24,670 --> 00:52:29,010
it. That would be fun. Exactly. Yeah. That's what I'm hoping to do. So I'm hoping to get the crowds

530
00:52:29,010 --> 00:52:33,810
now that they're getting out there. And that will be my next goal is just to show it lively

531
00:52:33,810 --> 00:52:40,450
and inaction. And then also I was thinking I don't know how, you know, a widespread or advisory

532
00:52:40,450 --> 00:52:44,290
you want to make this for the water restrictions. Notice you're saying updating the website.

533
00:52:44,610 --> 00:52:50,250
If you did want me to put anything on the social media, I can dedicate a post to just being

534
00:52:50,250 --> 00:52:54,370
mindful about water restrictions or water usage or anything like that. That's totally something I can

535
00:52:54,370 --> 00:53:01,990
do as well. Okay, I will coordinate when the city posts something, we'll coordinate that at the same

536
00:53:01,990 --> 00:53:10,290
time. Okay, perfect. I will stand by then. So, Sonia, I notice that you're getting lots of traction.

537
00:53:10,290 --> 00:53:12,830
on Instagram, but not really Facebook.

538
00:53:13,430 --> 00:53:15,450
Agreed. Yeah, that's definitely the trend.

539
00:53:16,070 --> 00:53:22,810
What are your thoughts on that? Is that just the users are going more that route?

540
00:53:24,010 --> 00:53:31,010
I do feel like we do have more just people are like Instagram is just the most easy and user friendly.

541
00:53:32,090 --> 00:53:35,370
Unless you like are actively looking in your Facebook feed.

542
00:53:35,370 --> 00:53:39,030
It doesn't, I mean, obviously it doesn't do it in a chronological order anymore.

543
00:53:39,230 --> 00:53:43,350
So you have to kind of go look for the post, which I think is kind of not helping.

544
00:53:43,910 --> 00:53:46,470
I do try to tag the location as well.

545
00:53:46,650 --> 00:53:49,290
I try to do those little things to try to increase likely engagement

546
00:53:49,730 --> 00:53:54,150
and the areas where we can be found, like if they're just looking on the map or things like that.

547
00:53:54,870 --> 00:53:56,910
But yeah, I'm not sure what it is.

548
00:53:57,130 --> 00:54:01,270
It could just be kind of Instagram is more just a ruler now.

549
00:54:01,270 --> 00:54:08,070
Honestly, if we had a TikTok account, that probably would be the one that is the most engaging and I'm happy to create one.

550
00:54:08,730 --> 00:54:15,330
That would definitely be a little bit more different type of content, but it could also be cool because maybe we can, you know,

551
00:54:15,450 --> 00:54:24,810
interview like Blake or we can interview the guys who are taking care of management, you know, the management of the maintenance of the park and, you know, kind of behind the scenes things of that sort.

552
00:54:24,810 --> 00:54:30,430
that could be really cool or showing even just like the development as we go into like the

553
00:54:30,430 --> 00:54:34,810
newer phase two and things like that just kind of showing the the process with videos.

554
00:54:35,330 --> 00:54:38,070
But I think that could be something we could definitely explore. I don't know how you guys

555
00:54:38,070 --> 00:54:42,310
feel about TikTok, but if that is something you would feel, well, I feel it would definitely

556
00:54:42,310 --> 00:54:46,630
increase the engagement, but it's definitely up to you guys.

557
00:54:50,430 --> 00:54:55,210
I know that the state is not allowed to have TikTok accounts, but I don't know what roles

558
00:54:55,210 --> 00:54:59,810
applied to municipalities or counties. That's good to know. Yeah, that's what I kind of figure

559
00:54:59,810 --> 00:55:05,330
to sticking with the two main. I think with the two mains and keep it focused there right now.

560
00:55:05,890 --> 00:55:11,890
Perfect. Yeah, we can do that for sure. And if anyone has any suggestions for, you know, increasing

561
00:55:11,890 --> 00:55:16,850
the engagement on Facebook, definitely feel free to send it over. I always try to share the posts

562
00:55:16,850 --> 00:55:21,310
once I do post it from my own personal account as well to just try to get the engagement from the

563
00:55:21,310 --> 00:55:26,230
people that I personally know, so if you guys are comfortable with that and want to do

564
00:55:26,230 --> 00:55:31,290
that on your own, that would be great. Otherwise, I think it might even be cool to put some

565
00:55:31,290 --> 00:55:35,590
stuff around the park, kind of like where we were talking last time. I didn't make the

566
00:55:35,590 --> 00:55:39,190
last meeting, but I think it was the meeting before where we were talking about QR codes

567
00:55:39,190 --> 00:55:43,570
and having that like go and talk about the bathroom murals. That could be something cool to

568
00:55:43,570 --> 00:55:47,870
put for like somewhere at the park, maybe a pavilion or something like our social media.

569
00:55:47,870 --> 00:55:52,670
follow us here post your pictures and comment even with a hashtag or something listed so that they

570
00:55:52,670 --> 00:55:57,930
know that's like the official the official account one and the official like hashtag for them to

571
00:55:57,930 --> 00:56:05,690
use. But again, how much effort do we want to really go into social media for that? But totally up

572
00:56:05,690 --> 00:56:10,270
to you guys, I'm open to anything. I think we're doing really well the the bathroom rules and having

573
00:56:10,270 --> 00:56:14,450
that just the colorfulness and showing that things are happening was really exciting for everybody.

574
00:56:15,030 --> 00:56:19,590
So I think just keeping that momentum going is going to definitely increase that engagement for sure.

575
00:56:21,780 --> 00:56:30,360
Yeah, I say just stay with the Instagram and maybe a few more posts and show the engagement.

576
00:56:33,100 --> 00:56:36,980
When we have some of these new things coming up, it'll be fun to do it as well.

577
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:43,500
Agreed. Okay, perfect. And yeah, I'm also a part of the tunnel committee.

578
00:56:43,500 --> 00:56:51,780
So as soon as we get things going with that, I'm also going to kind of do the same thing post the pictures of the tunnel as they're going so that way can kind of keep building that excitement.

579
00:56:52,440 --> 00:57:00,660
But yeah, that sounds great. Then I will focus on Instagram and Facebook. And if you guys have any other tips suggestions, anything you want me to share, feel free to just reach out.

580
00:57:02,420 --> 00:57:03,080
Sounds good.

581
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:10,740
We're at the hour just moving on to the financial reports. Any questions?

582
00:57:10,740 --> 00:57:10,980
We have a lot of questions.

583
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:13,160
No.

584
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:14,240
Good.

585
00:57:15,820 --> 00:57:17,220
Everything's good.

586
00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:26,900
Our CD does mature this month and with the need to make our final payment to the county for 2025 which

587
00:57:26,900 --> 00:57:27,880
haven't.

588
00:57:28,220 --> 00:57:31,040
We're still clarifying a couple of final things.

589
00:57:32,660 --> 00:57:37,060
So we'll report back to that at our main meeting.

590
00:57:37,060 --> 00:57:43,160
and then, um, so Don, we won't have a CD for a little bit until we get that all

591
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:48,060
straightened up. Correct. Okay. Great. We're still getting pretty good rates on

592
00:57:48,060 --> 00:57:55,420
our many markets, so it's not that doesn't lose too much. Okay. And then, um, so at

593
00:57:55,420 --> 00:58:03,040
our neck, oh, and then I thought just really quickly, just for everybody's, this is

594
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:07,860
I know it's not necessarily related to the park, but it is from the Bingham Creek Regional

595
00:58:07,860 --> 00:58:10,660
Trail component part of the park.

596
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:17,120
The cities should start construction here at the end of the summer on that first phase

597
00:58:17,460 --> 00:58:22,780
from the park to Mountain View corridor and then the state prioritized our project from

598
00:58:22,780 --> 00:58:27,040
Mountain View corridor to Coverton for the trail for the following year.

599
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:33,200
So by 2029, we should have Bingham Creek Regional Trail all the way to

600
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:40,160
Coverton. The City of Coverton? The City of Coverton. Wow. Wow. That's exciting.

601
00:58:41,100 --> 00:58:50,100
Yeah. And they and for our first phase from set from the park to the Mountain View

602
00:58:50,100 --> 00:58:57,380
corridor they added a million and a half dollars to the project. So in order to get a neighborhood

603
00:58:57,380 --> 00:59:07,700
to get the connection up to up on top into the tracks line. So great. So we've got a good

604
00:59:07,700 --> 00:59:15,740
exciting moment in there. Okay so thank you everybody. I think what we've got on there for our next

605
00:59:15,740 --> 00:59:22,020
meeting is probably the majority of the meeting will probably be an update on the small projects

606
00:59:22,020 --> 00:59:30,220
and where we're at I'm getting those procured as well as our zap application. So we'll go from there.

607
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:37,820
Everybody have a good day. Thank you for meeting. Take care. Thank you.
