[1:58] to say why we're here?

[2:07] 7th.

[2:23] Yes,

[2:39] So, I need a motion to since we've had

[2:43] motion to approve the 912 date to have

[2:50] case.
Motion
[2:54] motion second.

[2:59] Any oppos?
>> All right. So
[3:03] » that doesn't uh the rain day doesn't

[3:14] » Thank you.
>> Thank you.
[3:17] » You guys have a good night.
[3:23] » Okay. Um, pickle wall signage is
installed. Saw that out there last
[3:28] weekend. So, looks good.
[3:33] Randy, you can jump in here and
reference our law when I when I talk
[3:36] about this, but um there was a
an amendment to
[3:44] the city structure about our non-reing
fund. The non-reing fund that we set up
[3:49] to put our
[3:54] building wasn't set up correctly. So,
that has been changed and that is set up
[3:59] now. And the money that we fundraiser
went into that. So that is taken care of
[4:06] and the fees from the pool are all for
will be deposited into the regular not
[4:12] working. So it will start to go a little
bit. So that's the changes
[4:18] fund that went to the council last night
and I believe was passed.
[4:24] Questions on that?
Okay.
[4:28] Um charreat. haven't heard anything
about trunk or treat. I know we're a
[4:32] little early, but I thought I'd throw it
out there. No,
[4:36] Sandy
Sandy brush.
[4:42] I'll see if I can get a hold of her just
having it or not, if she is still doing
[4:47] it.
[4:53] Um, there was a little bit of food left.
[4:59] If not, I will travel with him. If not,
that will take care of just a very
[5:08] small.
>> Okay. I know at texting when you sent me
[5:11] a picture and we're talking like a
couple bags of chips and just small, so
[5:16] they did really good
food.
[5:21] Um, day camp, they were not filmed for
the pool yet, and I have right here. So
[5:28] I will figure out how many kids went and
we'll get an invoice at the community
[5:34] center. So we get that paid
notion
[5:45] before I get to salaries.
Um, Portland Foundation
[5:54] has the honor of partnering with Lily
endowment
[5:58] on the Giving Indiana funds for
tomorrow's gift initiative. They're in
[6:02] the ninth phase of it and found
Foundation has a grant of $750,000
[6:08] to be regranted for nonprofit
organizations during the day county. We
[6:12] have a very simple form that we can fill
out and send in and describe a project
[6:19] name that we want to do and submit it
for approval.
[6:25] Um, it's just a grant. It doesn't say
it's a matching grant, but the deadline
[6:30] to submit this is 12 p.m. on September
30th.
[6:38] The first thing that comes to my mind
are the
[6:45] completely redo the bathrooms.
[6:51] Either that or install bathroom.
[6:58] I think one of those two or maybe both
of those.
[7:04] » That's my first thought.
I have a track above and I I'd have to
[7:10] talk to Jack, but you know, we
[7:17] I think we might have an an estimate and
a rough draft of the ones up here.
[7:22] » I thought we did.
>> Have to ask to be sure, though.
[7:27] So you guys okay with me just submitting
this for restructure or remodeling redo
[7:33] the bathrooms department and then
install new.
[7:37] » Is there anything we can do for the
little
[7:42] scoreboards?
I always have trouble with scoreboards.
[7:49] » I think you have to pick one.
>> I don't know. I think it's a project
[7:54] name. I don't know if they can do
>> what
[8:04] I mean
on that
[8:08] part,
>> but
[8:15] the bathroom. Bathrooms are a necessity
though.
[8:17] » Yeah, they are.
[8:21] » You guys,
>> yes. Okay. So, that's what I'll do. I
[8:26] will pull this out. I'll I'll email it
to everyone to look at and see if you
[8:30] want something say something different
and then get back to me as soon as you
[8:34] can. And I'll get email
[8:57] Okay.
[9:01] Um, last month, last month we talked
about salaries for 2027.
[9:08] Um,
the proposed
[9:12] increase for city is 3% I believe.
Right.
[9:16] » Okay.
[9:20] So, I figured this both ways. I think
just the 3%
[9:24] and then I thought
we really weren't sure exactly how we're
[9:30] going to go about increasing.
So, I had two ideas. I'm going to throw
[9:35] them out and talk about just a straight
3% across the board, which I know more
[9:41] than that. And then I thought
with like the manager of the pool,
[9:50] we can match the the rate that the
pooling point gets from the manager. So
[9:56] both of them get paid.
The assistant manager
[10:03] would be a little bit less than the
manager. Of course, lifeguards I think
[10:11] perhaps being paid the same as the
assistant
[10:16] they've done too. Um full staff
[10:27] that again just a little bit less than
that. There's really not a formula. I
[10:32] just kind of went with it. And then the
full-time part and the part-time part
[10:39] are the 3% increase because they were
they haven't fully. So what I came up
[10:46] with was
the full-time part for the 3% increase
[10:51] is 1626.
So the manager matches that.
[10:58] » 1626.
[11:02] » Um 1291. No, no, no. 73
>> 12:54 for the manager
[11:09] 1273 I'm sorry 1273 for the manager
12
[11:20] » what' you say 16
>> 126
[11:24] » so about 1626 it's going to be a little
bit different if I didn't have the right
[11:27] number to start with but it'll be close
um the assistant manager and lifeguards
[11:33] at 1840
[11:40] the pool staff at 1219
[11:45] fulltime park 1626 and part-time park at
1255
[11:51] way too fast
what you need
[11:56] pool staff 1219
[12:02] fulltime park 1620 26
and part time 125.
[12:12] Oh, I see the 16 the fulltime part
employee just
[12:18] how
16 26 same as me and then part time.
[12:27] » Do you have any fulltime work?
[12:32] » Are they just part time? I think they're
all part I don't think they have full
[12:37] time.
>> Not anymore.
[12:40] I
>> think it was Tom.
[12:42] » Yeah.
>> So the fulltime parttime park is just
[12:47] that 3% increase. I guess I think we
bumped them up. Not that we can't bump
[12:52] them up but
what is going on?
[12:57] Thoughts?
[13:02] Is it one of those Portland?
[13:06] » What does Portland?
>> I don't know. $18, I think.
[13:11] » I think I think the leverage $18.
[13:18] I think that's really great for our area
because
[13:29] so that 3% what you get across the board
would be those new codes.
[13:35] » Is that 3%
12.91
[13:41] » right?
>> Yes. I hate that.
[13:47] » Okay. But you said increase by 3% across
the board or pay a month. Okay. Yeah.
[13:58] » And how I figured
how I figured the assistant and the
[14:05] artist is I took everything different
between the full time and part time
[14:10] split it in half and added that to it.
So that's how I did. That's how I did
[14:15] this.
[14:18] » We our budget can
>> we're going to go for it though
[14:25] » as a proposal.
[14:30] » What What are the thoughts?
Like it's a good
[14:35] incentive.
[14:38] » I don't know if we'll be able to because
>> I know
[14:41] » I mean We've already been through the
reading of it and it's posted at 3%.
[14:47] So I don't know that we can make those
changes other than 3%.
[14:52] » I don't know. I just know because when
we talked about last month we think
[14:56] about it bring it back this month and
then we'll talk see what we can do. I
[14:59] don't know if we can change it or not
[15:04] if we can
[15:10] find out. Okay.
[15:14] And what's your honest opinion?
This is just a thought.
[15:23] I think the only thing you can do is
send a proposal on the council.
[15:29] Um
these are much needed changes
[15:34] » that needs to be done. Um
but
[15:40] » yeah I mean ultimately council has to
approve but
[15:44] » we can only suggest
I
[15:46] » think it's an incentive to bring in
serious I know it's only for the summer
[15:52] but like good
[16:01] um
because I remember this I and submit it
[16:05] to the council. I can speak and talk
about it
[16:11] just
[16:17] here.
>> Maybe the 8th
[16:22] they'll probably cancel it do the Labor
Day. So probably 22
[16:27] I can make it the 8th. So can you make
it on the 8th?
[16:42] So they have
they will present next Sunday Monday.
[16:56] » If if we can submit it, Dave's going to
submit it on the 8th. If you guys have a
[17:01] council meeting, we don't have council
meeting that time that I'll submit to
[17:05] you.
>> Our next council meeting will be the
[17:08] 14th.
>> Oh, yeah. 14.
[17:14] » 148.
>> It's all you.
[17:27] » Yeah. She can't be changed cuz it's
already been voted in 3 years old.
[17:35] Well, then we will
space.
[17:39] » We will do it next year.
All right. So, since it can't be used
[17:50] if it could be, everyone was okay with
it.
[17:53] » Mhm.
>> Okay. I'll just keep it in the notes
[17:56] that way we can bring it.
[18:00] » Okay. Look at it this way. If we have to
wait till next year, then it can be even
[18:04] more.
>> That's true.
[18:08] » Nice value. Okay. So, I have a list
here.
[18:11] » We'll have to talk to about it before
August.
[18:13] » Yes, it will being submitted for 20 28
2028.
[18:24] All right. So, I have some items here
that need attention at the pool that uh
[18:31] the manager left for us. It looks like
the admissions we need a new chair and
[18:35] to fix
paperwork prices.
[18:41] I'm not sure what that is, but I'll I'll
find out.
[18:44] » So, why didn't you buy a new chair
cleaning?
[18:48] » It's a good question. I didn't even know
I was going to have this up here. So,
[18:51] this is this is used concessions. Looks
like we need a crock pot, a cheese pump.
[18:58] Evidently, there is a leaky pipe in the
possession stand.
[19:04] Another chair.
[19:14] Um,
[19:20] there's a problem. This is no line.
Need a CPR breathing a CPR mask,
[19:29] waterproof advantages,
[19:33] umbrellas,
[19:37] umbrella stands.
You don't have to umbrellas.
[19:43] Yeah.
[19:46] Um
[19:54] Handy cut charger needs fixed. Fixed
chair arm keeps coming out of the pool.
[20:00] Fix take out and replace loose slide
which we do.
[20:06] All right. I will get Brad at least for
the leaky pipe and the loose slide and
[20:12] all that and just talk to me about that.
[20:18] And I guess
>> it sounds [clears throat] like me and
[20:21] the majority of those issues should have
already been impressed.
[20:24] » I thought she was going to buy a couple
chairs.
[20:28] » Gave her permission to buy a couple
chairs.
[20:37] » And we do have umbrellas.
>> Sorry. Who would bought one?
[20:44] » I don't know if we bought one this year.
Do you still have the the magazines that
[20:50] have
>> Yeah, they
[20:54] can find
[21:00] one of the submitted that last night.
I've gotten frogs
[21:07] in the category.
>> And they said they needed helpful lights
[21:10] or umbrellas, too.
>> Yeah.
[21:16] Umbrella for the slight.
[21:27] This is the first I've seen this list.
[21:32] I'll give her a call to figure out my
office or anything
[21:46] here. See it?
[21:52] You guys have any questions yet?
>> No.
[21:57] » Can you just scan that and send it out?
Yes, that's canc
[22:23] about that actually or just in that Um,
the daughter of Nazarene was asking
[22:31] about the Christmas tree again
or
[22:36] like what they wanted to do, but Jack's
on here like planting a Christmas tree
[22:42] or just putting one up,
>> right? We got one out from the nursery
[22:46] out there and dug a hole and put it in
the ground for the season and it looked
[22:50] really pretty and it stopped, but we had
to kind of keep going up there and
[22:54] fixing it cuz you have to blow it over
and we had discussed planting a tree at
[23:01] the depot park because they wanted to
plant it in the green space but they
[23:06] don't want that due to the mural which
is understandable.
[23:11] Um,
so I told him I would talk to you guys
[23:16] and Jack about
cuz um, Jack had said something about
[23:23] getting one of the trees from the
nursery and how planted before Christmas
[23:27] this year
at the depot
[23:31] » kind of where we have the other one.
[23:36] » They planted it but then they gave it
away to somebody, right? Apparently she
[23:41] never claimed it.
>> Yeah, she had but
[23:46] that was the idea. But
>> same idea.
[23:50] » No. What?
>> You want to find something permanent?
[23:53] » Right. We had talked about that last
year.
[23:57] So, they have a nice tree,
[24:02] but I don't know if they put it in the
same spot and it grows, is it going to
[24:07] interfere in
structure of the shell house, but
[24:14] we could put one in a different
location. I mean Jack's not here, but
[24:21] you guys are okay with it.
>> But
[24:28] what
took out on the east side?
[24:52] Yeah,
[24:56] talking about
it,
[25:00] » right? I guess I mean the location is
movable the tree and just having a tree
[25:07] real tree plant that would decorate and
light
[25:14] feel whatever
what do you need to know?
[25:20] um
just if it's something that we can do or
[25:24] continue with or
I don't think the issue was
[25:30] planning it and removing it at all and
that's fine cuz we did that before but
[25:35] planning it keeping it
[25:40] find the right space for
[25:47] Jack is talking I can already thought
about planning.
[25:54] Yes, it's still only August. Yeah,
somebody was seeing Christmas yesterday.
[26:02] It wasn't me.
Wasn't me.
[26:07] Okay, we'll just put it in the meeting
for Jack then talk with the board.
[26:20] question.
[26:24] Okay,
so
[26:31] » um
Brad went to order that pump for the
[26:35] pool. He cannot get it.
Please find it right now. Spears. That's
[26:41] $5,000 more. Everybody else wants money
up front.
[26:49] Yeah.
[26:52] Keep looking until you find somewhere.
[26:58] » Yeah.
>> I mean, there's
[27:03] there's enough
[27:09] » 10,000.
>> You can get it.
[27:15] I
>> mean, obviously he's he's working, but
[27:18] keep in mind we
got about what about 3 months.
[27:25] » Yeah. We really need to know why the
meeting.
[27:28] » Yeah.
>> So, if he doesn't find one by then,
[27:34] we'll have to do that.
[27:40] Anything else?
name.
[27:45] » No,
>> no,
[27:49] I will get foundation.
I will scan.
[27:58] I will scan the list for the pool to
everyone. Then I'll also get here
[28:06] some of the
way back to the next meeting.
[28:12] Do you guys have anything before we
dismiss?
[28:16] » No, we're good.
>> Okay, I just want to be sure. All right,
[28:20] so the next meeting September 23rd at 6
need a motion to
[28:28] » a second.
All in favor? Hi.
[28:31] » Any opposed? All right. Meeting is
adjourned.
[28:41] » Thank you guys.
>> Thank you.
[29:04] That's better.
