Tyler would be plus. OK. Park business. Let's start with a 20 00:02:24,078 --> 00:02:30,043 general update. We would, we would like to start that off. 21 00:02:33,042 --> 00:02:40,046 Dustin, OK, um, you also have a Dustin's report. Yes, I can do it all together. 22 00:02:41,006 --> 00:02:47,045 Um, currently we have just a few more weeks left in the season. Um, we do have Hoover 23 00:02:47,045 --> 00:02:53,005 and Sigma shelters continue to be rented for the next few weeks. So we are in the 24 00:02:53,005 --> 00:03:00,079 process of, um, winterizing. Uh, the pool. Sigma Phi Gamma 25 00:03:00,093 --> 00:03:08,051 concession stand. Um King Waterworks Park. So we are doing 26 00:03:08,053 --> 00:03:15,025 um. The closings on those currently and once the um. 27 00:03:17,006 --> 00:03:23,044 The events take place at. Um, Hoovering and Sigma will close those for the season 28 00:03:23,044 --> 00:03:29,079 also. Um, so we're wrapping all that stuff up. We're trying to get a lot of, we're 29 00:03:29,079 --> 00:03:35,042 running out of what I say good weather. So we are hustling as, as much as we can 30 00:03:35,072 --> 00:03:40,071 to get some painting that we wanted to, to have completed this year, trying to get 31 00:03:40,071 --> 00:03:48,059 it done. Um, really now, not only we racing the clock, but we are shorthanded, 32 00:03:48,076 --> 00:03:53,053 don't have the manpower to do a lot of the things that we want to do right now. So, 33 00:03:53,091 --> 00:04:01,045 but we are getting a lot of things done. Um I do have a few other. Um, 34 00:04:01,065 --> 00:04:06,027 claims to give you for some maintenance items on our mowers. Um, both of the mowers 35 00:04:06,027 --> 00:04:12,007 that we purchased last year are approaching about 550 hours apiece on them, and basically 36 00:04:12,007 --> 00:04:18,066 a season and a half. So normal maintenance items, um, we've been doing on that. 37 00:04:19,062 --> 00:04:26,077 And just some other maintenance on like our John Deere tractor, um. Typical flat 38 00:04:26,077 --> 00:04:34,013 tires on trailers, vehicles, things like that. Um, cameras. And let you know 39 00:04:34,013 --> 00:04:37,029 that since the cameras have been installed in the parks. 40 00:04:39,082 --> 00:04:46,009 Would you say crime or vandalism has ceased to exist? It has been fantastic. Um, 41 00:04:47,012 --> 00:04:52,008 knock on the wood. Um, I don't know if they're visible now or after the incident 42 00:04:52,008 --> 00:04:56,096 that we had and where it may have gotten around that. When they were caught, there 43 00:04:56,096 --> 00:05:03,012 are cameras in our parks now, so we are, we are already ahead of the game with the 44 00:05:03,012 --> 00:05:10,016 cameras. So that was long overdue. Um, I kinda wanna circle around to my, to the 45 00:05:10,016 --> 00:05:15,067 parks building right now. Um, we do have some building issues still there, um, coming 46 00:05:15,067 --> 00:05:21,031 into the winter's months. The roof has not had anything done to it yet. We do still 47 00:05:21,031 --> 00:05:26,068 have two leaks in that, in that roof. Um, I did reach out to the builder. They said 48 00:05:26,068 --> 00:05:32,004 there was not a warranty on it. Um, it would be an expired. I believe the building's 49 00:05:32,004 --> 00:05:38,013 6 or so years old now. Um, they said that they would come back, take a look at it 50 00:05:38,013 --> 00:05:43,059 if it was something that they've done, they would take care of it. Um, it's now been 51 00:05:43,059 --> 00:05:48,043 probably 5 or 6 weeks. They've never showed up, never heard from them, so we do need 52 00:05:48,043 --> 00:05:56,014 to address that. Um, still waiting for internet at the building. Um, anytime I 53 00:05:56,014 --> 00:06:01,099 need on the computer, I have to come up here, so. Um, so that is, and we're supposed 54 00:06:01,099 --> 00:06:05,007 to be getting internet down there, correct? Yes, as a matter of fact, I know the 55 00:06:05,007 --> 00:06:09,023 mayor's office received something saying that they were on their way like 3 weeks 56 00:06:09,023 --> 00:06:16,072 ago and They haven't showed up yet, wasn't that correct? Internet. Wow. Yes, 57 00:06:16,085 --> 00:06:24,036 there's been a little miscommunication in their team. OK. Are they doing just the 58 00:06:24,036 --> 00:06:29,008 parks building or are they doing the pool as well? I think they're just focused on 59 00:06:29,008 --> 00:06:36,004 the park. OK, OK. So. Um, and I know we had talked about, 60 00:06:36,052 --> 00:06:44,006 um, pouring a concrete pad exiting the back of the building, um. We actually dug 61 00:06:44,006 --> 00:06:51,013 that out months and months ago. And I know the contractor came and looked at it. 62 00:06:52,011 --> 00:06:57,004 And It's still dug out. So I'm not sure what we're doing with that. If I need to 63 00:06:57,004 --> 00:07:02,095 fill it back in, I can fill it back in. But it just makes it easier for us to be 64 00:07:02,095 --> 00:07:06,027 able to pull through the building versus backing out all the time with the trailers 65 00:07:06,027 --> 00:07:08,096 and stuff. Um 66 00:07:11,065 --> 00:07:16,093 And then just to put in the back here, just put in the back of your head that um. 67 00:07:17,091 --> 00:07:22,005 The heat does work. Of course, the heat is only in the storage room and in the office, 68 00:07:22,087 --> 00:07:30,009 but the cooling still. is faulty. Um, I know we had a quote and it was $6000 69 00:07:30,009 --> 00:07:37,063 or $7000 to have that replaced. And unfortunately that unit was like. A month out 70 00:07:37,063 --> 00:07:45,036 of warranty? So yeah. Of course. But we did um use one of our air conditioners, 71 00:07:45,045 --> 00:07:48,064 personal air conditioners from home, and we put it in the window, so it did keep 72 00:07:48,064 --> 00:07:55,086 the office cool, so that was nice. But um. So we still have that on the, on the back 73 00:07:55,086 --> 00:07:58,047 burner also. Um 74 00:08:00,082 --> 00:08:06,098 We're still trying to do. King Park as far as the playground knowledge, but with. 75 00:08:08,012 --> 00:08:15,074 1.5 people. It's hard to get done and try to keep up on. All of the maintenance 76 00:08:15,083 --> 00:08:22,002 and the mowing and a lot of the projects that we have going on currently, so. 77 00:08:24,071 --> 00:08:30,002 For that, like, how much effort would it be to, like, do you need another person 78 00:08:30,002 --> 00:08:34,057 to help? Like what does that look like to do the mulch? What do you need for that? 79 00:08:35,043 --> 00:08:43,009 Um, really at this point, I mean. I will probably be reaching out to um Sheriff Heflin 80 00:08:43,009 --> 00:08:49,073 because he's been great. We have used, utilized the um Inmates a few times this season, 81 00:08:50,026 --> 00:08:54,041 which they've been fantastic. I've already had that conversation with him. So we'll 82 00:08:54,041 --> 00:09:01,061 get that lined up cause I still wanna get it done yet this year. And um it's gonna 83 00:09:01,061 --> 00:09:04,097 be around water department, street department schedule also because it takes their 84 00:09:04,097 --> 00:09:10,077 heavy equipment to move those 3000 pound sacks down there. So, we don't have, we 85 00:09:10,077 --> 00:09:18,021 don't have the equipment to do that. Does it have to be um Scraped out again since 86 00:09:18,021 --> 00:09:25,072 it's been so long. No, it just needs, we need to rope it off, um. Destroy the 87 00:09:25,072 --> 00:09:32,051 vegetation that's there, then put the liners down, to which, um, we do not have a, 88 00:09:32,053 --> 00:09:38,013 a lot of liner left. I'd have to order some more liner. From the pool project. 89 00:09:49,019 --> 00:09:54,073 Anybody have any other questions for me? Um, are we gonna pick a closing date for, 90 00:09:55,015 --> 00:10:01,025 for the parks? Do we normally, I can't remember. Well, as soon as the final, um, 91 00:10:01,065 --> 00:10:05,007 event takes place in the shelters, they'll be closed. Everything will be closed. 92 00:10:06,061 --> 00:10:13,008 So well we need to tell the office like not to like stop do it OK perfect. Do you 93 00:10:13,008 --> 00:10:17,000 know what that date was um let me let me take a peek. 94 00:10:23,009 --> 00:10:27,006 They should be closed October twenty-sixth permanently for the season because I think 95 00:10:27,006 --> 00:10:30,082 we usually try to close before Halloween. Yes, yes, yeah. 96 00:10:35,091 --> 00:10:40,054 And I will say this time last year we'd already had some vandalism. I'm assuming 97 00:10:40,054 --> 00:10:46,062 Halloween related, but with the cameras in place. Yeah, I've not had that. 98 00:10:50,003 --> 00:10:56,032 For the leaky roof in the building, what does, what would be needed for that? I'm 99 00:10:56,032 --> 00:11:00,029 not sure. I'm not sure if it's the rubber gaskets. It is a metal roof. But I'm not 100 00:11:00,029 --> 00:11:05,007 sure if it's the gaskets that have deteriorated or what it is. Somebody just, I think, 101 00:11:05,077 --> 00:11:12,000 needs to get up on that roof and inspect it because one of the leaks is just a small 102 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:19,025 drip into the shop. The other one is near um Near the storage room and when it rains. 103 00:11:20,004 --> 00:11:24,095 It pours in there. I mean, it just runs directly into the building. You said the 104 00:11:24,095 --> 00:11:28,095 storage room and the other one, where, where else is it? It's on the west side of 105 00:11:28,095 --> 00:11:35,027 the building. It's near where I parked the mowers. I just don't want it, we don't. 106 00:11:36,034 --> 00:11:40,007 We don't need it to rust, so we should probably take care of that. No, I mean. 107 00:11:42,042 --> 00:11:46,084 They definitely need, they definitely need addressed. Have we contacted any other 108 00:11:46,086 --> 00:11:51,096 roofing companies? Um, 3 little pigs came out. They did take a look at it. He was 109 00:11:51,098 --> 00:11:56,045 going to, he wanted, obviously, he said, if you can get the builder to come back 110 00:11:56,045 --> 00:12:01,002 out, take a look at it, and if it costs you no money, you know, perfect. That's the 111 00:12:01,002 --> 00:12:05,012 way I saw it also. But he also did say if they do not show up, which they have not, 112 00:12:05,014 --> 00:12:09,052 like I said, it's been quite some time now. Um, to give him a call back and he would 113 00:12:09,052 --> 00:12:11,047 get up there and see what's going on with it. 114 00:12:14,023 --> 00:12:16,009 When was the last time you contacted the builder? 115 00:12:19,003 --> 00:12:25,003 Mm Uh I probably talked to them, it was between 4 and 6 weeks ago, and I probably 116 00:12:25,003 --> 00:12:26,045 called them back. 117 00:12:29,021 --> 00:12:32,066 3 weeks ago, probably to see when they were coming, and I've never heard from them. 118 00:12:37,042 --> 00:12:45,019 And I do believe that the builder. Um No longer lives in Indiana. 119 00:12:45,077 --> 00:12:52,044 I believe they have moved out of state, but their son still lives in the state, and 120 00:12:52,044 --> 00:12:57,024 they were going to send him down to take a look at it, and he's the one I cannot. 121 00:12:58,017 --> 00:12:58,096 I can't get a hold of. 122 00:13:05,031 --> 00:13:10,087 Do you think we should just go with 3 little pigs? Or other roofing companies just 123 00:13:10,089 --> 00:13:11,087 to get it taken care of. 124 00:13:15,003 --> 00:13:19,061 Yeah, we still have storm damage from another roofing company that was to be taken 125 00:13:19,061 --> 00:13:25,092 care of in May that is still not complete. So I'm a little frustrated myself with 126 00:13:25,092 --> 00:13:33,006 that. Because the job was started, hasn't been completed. It was that 3 little pigs. 127 00:13:33,011 --> 00:13:38,032 It was not. OK. I would give Seth a call to have him come out. 128 00:13:40,055 --> 00:13:41,037 We can do that. 129 00:13:47,031 --> 00:13:52,063 What about the concrete pad? Um, I'm not sure where we're at because we were actually 130 00:13:52,063 --> 00:13:57,039 going to piggyback off of, um, a few other departments that were having concrete 131 00:13:57,039 --> 00:14:04,025 work. And ours was kind of an afterthought because we have to order so many yards 132 00:14:04,025 --> 00:14:09,005 to get this price, and they weren't ordering enough yards. So we're like, well, we 133 00:14:09,005 --> 00:14:15,077 could do this also, and which lowered the price. And I haven't heard another thing. 134 00:14:16,001 --> 00:14:21,003 Have they got their concrete? I don't believe so. OK. What department is it? Water. 135 00:14:40,089 --> 00:14:45,095 And I will add, I was figuring up today, just a little information, figuring up today, 136 00:14:46,025 --> 00:14:53,047 um. With our Maverick hybrid truck, we've saved over $1000 in fuel this year. It's 137 00:14:53,059 --> 00:14:59,053 not at its current level, which it's been higher, it's been a little lower, but just 138 00:14:59,055 --> 00:15:03,094 on average we're actually we're a little over $1000 for the year. 139 00:15:16,085 --> 00:15:17,098 Anything else? 140 00:15:23,037 --> 00:15:31,028 And I, I do wanna add. This season, I mean, every season. Has its challenges 141 00:15:31,003 --> 00:15:39,001 and. We all have goals and where we want things to be and. I mean, The mayor can 142 00:15:39,001 --> 00:15:46,081 probably testify to this that. My goals probably sometime or. I wanna do so much, 143 00:15:47,018 --> 00:15:54,048 but what we've accomplished this year has been amazing. I mean. I'm very proud of 144 00:15:54,048 --> 00:15:59,013 what everyone done this summer, um, what we've accomplished with just going down 145 00:15:59,013 --> 00:16:05,061 to a few people over the last several weeks. Um, It's been great. I mean, we have, 146 00:16:05,066 --> 00:16:11,045 we have knocked out so many little projects, the, the water department, the, the 147 00:16:11,045 --> 00:16:17,025 street department, I mean, wastewater, every department has been so helpful to the 148 00:16:17,025 --> 00:16:20,096 parks department and anytime that they need assistance, we're there to help them 149 00:16:20,098 --> 00:16:21,051 also. 150 00:16:25,035 --> 00:16:32,056 Did you ever receive a list from Mark about what needs Needs what is needed for the 151 00:16:32,056 --> 00:16:39,078 pool. No. OK. Oh, and that was, I know we had talked about 152 00:16:40,032 --> 00:16:45,078 painting the pool again this fall. There is just, I don't see how it can be done 153 00:16:45,084 --> 00:16:49,001 at this point. It's probably gonna have to be in early, early spring. Hopefully, 154 00:16:49,012 --> 00:16:55,063 it's a little warmer next spring and not rainy, so we can do it. I do believe that 155 00:16:55,096 --> 00:17:00,051 painting the pool in the fall, allowing it to cure for quite some time before we 156 00:17:00,051 --> 00:17:07,047 put pool water and stuff on it, definitely helps with longevity of it. But With the 157 00:17:07,047 --> 00:17:15,043 limited You know, staff that we have and the sheer volume of properties that 158 00:17:15,043 --> 00:17:18,067 we're maintaining, it's not um. 159 00:17:21,047 --> 00:17:29,042 It's just not feasible to do that, so. Could that be something we can Use 160 00:17:29,042 --> 00:17:37,001 the inmates for as well or we have in the past, um. We did last year and they helped. 161 00:17:38,044 --> 00:17:39,006 But 162 00:17:41,009 --> 00:17:47,059 I think, you know, winding down to the end of the year, it's also gonna be an item. 163 00:17:48,064 --> 00:17:52,093 You know, can the budget support it? Cause it is not cheap to paint that pool. 164 00:18:09,044 --> 00:18:12,002 How much did it cost last time? Mm. 165 00:18:14,055 --> 00:18:15,057 I don't think I have it. 166 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,033 Um, let me guess. I would say in the ballpark of. 167 00:18:36,024 --> 00:18:43,003 I have a rough idea. I wanna see if I'm right. What what minutes would they? 168 00:18:44,064 --> 00:18:49,007 That would have been last year. What's that? That would have been 2025 when we painted 169 00:18:49,007 --> 00:18:49,034 it. 170 00:18:51,089 --> 00:18:56,008 And I did speak to Dana about where we sat as far as some of, I mean, there are still 171 00:18:56,008 --> 00:19:03,004 supplies that we need and where we sat with um our remaining budget 172 00:19:03,085 --> 00:19:08,076 and just from what I was told I don't think we could do that. I don't think we could, 173 00:19:08,097 --> 00:19:09,043 yeah. 174 00:19:13,004 --> 00:19:17,037 It was a couple 2000 to paint the pool, at least. 175 00:19:21,008 --> 00:19:26,083 And I know the kiddie pool this year, I mean. I think we set a record attendance 176 00:19:26,083 --> 00:19:34,043 one day of like 357 or 56, um, bathers to the pool. 177 00:19:34,096 --> 00:19:42,037 Um, It is very popular. Um, the investment that was put in it several years ago 178 00:19:42,047 --> 00:19:48,009 has definitely paid off. It's been a great asset to the community and, you know, 179 00:19:49,023 --> 00:19:53,049 talking and mingling with a lot of the people there, the, the parents and so forth, 180 00:19:53,099 --> 00:20:00,007 they, I mean, we've got people coming from Red Key, from Portland, from Upland, um, 181 00:20:01,044 --> 00:20:05,047 They come every day, they love it. They say it's clean, it's nice, and they really 182 00:20:05,047 --> 00:20:08,087 appreciate it. People from Gas City, Gas City has their, they have a pool. I was 183 00:20:08,087 --> 00:20:13,046 actually looking at Gas City's pool last week. It's not near as good a shape as ours. 184 00:20:14,031 --> 00:20:19,029 Um, so we do have a lot of people that use it. In our trail system, that's another 185 00:20:19,029 --> 00:20:25,073 thing that I mean I've been out on the trails all summer long doing stuff and the 186 00:20:25,073 --> 00:20:29,068 number of people, and I never realized this, the number of people that actually come 187 00:20:29,068 --> 00:20:34,083 and use our trail system from outside of this community is shocking. Um, we get a 188 00:20:34,083 --> 00:20:41,078 lot of people from Upland Taylor that come over and use our trail system. Um You 189 00:20:41,078 --> 00:20:45,078 know, I think at one time, you know, just a few weeks back, I probably ran into, 190 00:20:45,087 --> 00:20:50,054 and I'm not exaggerating all, there were 20, either 26 or 27 people on the trail 191 00:20:50,054 --> 00:20:55,003 at one time during the day. It was a nice, beautiful day. There were lots of people 192 00:20:55,003 --> 00:21:01,054 on it, a lot of people I didn't even know, and um people use it, so it is utilized 193 00:21:01,054 --> 00:21:08,074 a lot more than what people realize. And so is the dog park, wilderness park. It's 194 00:21:08,074 --> 00:21:13,086 shocking how many visitors per day come and use that dog park and how many people 195 00:21:13,086 --> 00:21:18,004 come down the wilderness park and walk those trails. It, it, I never knew it until 196 00:21:18,099 --> 00:21:23,015 I'm down there every day and see the number of people. I've talked to people from 197 00:21:23,015 --> 00:21:30,004 Huntington, from Grant County, from, of course, you know, um, Um, Huntington, 198 00:21:30,059 --> 00:21:37,033 Grant, um, Delaware County. People come up just to walk our trails. They say it's 199 00:21:37,033 --> 00:21:40,005 nice, peaceful, and they feel safe there. So 200 00:21:48,023 --> 00:21:54,043 Awesome. That's very good feedback. I like to talk to people when they come. I wanna 201 00:21:54,043 --> 00:21:59,041 know where they're from, what they're doing. And why they came, so. 202 00:22:01,047 --> 00:22:06,099 I like to hear that they feel safe. Yeah, there was a matter of fact, a lady. Um, 203 00:22:07,051 --> 00:22:12,055 I think she was from Huntington. That um said she just loved it and felt safe there, 204 00:22:12,073 --> 00:22:13,027 so. 205 00:22:16,035 --> 00:22:19,086 And look at all the, the trails that they have up in Huntington, you know, with the 206 00:22:19,086 --> 00:22:24,062 state park and so forth, and drove what, 45 minutes down here to, to go through our 207 00:22:24,062 --> 00:22:25,097 wilderness park, so. 208 00:22:34,096 --> 00:22:40,023 All right. Anything else on your end, sir? I don't think so. Um. 209 00:22:42,008 --> 00:22:47,062 I'm sure you'll think of something else. No, I mean, there's, I've got 150 different 210 00:22:47,064 --> 00:22:52,005 things I could tell you about, but we'd sit here till 10:30 at night, but. There's 211 00:22:52,005 --> 00:22:56,054 a lot going on, I'll put it that way. There is a lot going on in the parks right 212 00:22:56,054 --> 00:23:01,038 now. Positive. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, OK, that's what we needed to know. 213 00:23:04,029 --> 00:23:11,004 All right, well, Does anybody in the public, well, Mayor, do you have a comment you 214 00:23:11,004 --> 00:23:14,093 wanna make?

Anyone would ever like to go through our 245 00:26:39,082 --> 00:26:45,037 park system and, and I'd be more than happy to show everyone what we're working with, 246 00:26:45,058 --> 00:26:49,033 what we're doing, what our goals are, and even take them through our park system, 247 00:26:49,042 --> 00:26:55,052 cause I'm sure a lot of, um, a lot of people don't know the. Just Like I said earlier, 248 00:26:55,061 --> 00:27:01,007 the sheer volume of things that we're we're doing and. It's, it's difficult to see 249 00:27:01,007 --> 00:27:06,086 at times because we do have so many parks, and there are so many projects and there 250 00:27:06,086 --> 00:27:12,024 are so many things that need attention, but we're knocking them out one by one. I'd 251 00:27:12,024 --> 00:27:14,005 be more than happy to share that with anybody. 252 00:27:16,016 --> 00:27:17,099 That's awesome.
