[2:08] Yes. Um, that would be, we do have
three more markets coming up.
[2:13] So we're still working with those.
[2:16] Um, the bands.
[2:18] You seem to always get rained on on
Thursdays. I don't know what the deal
is.
[2:21] but, um, one good thing came out of
that, Mandolin and the Hunters
[2:25] um, agreed to because of our rain out
and due to um, Bluzin' Cruisin'
[2:30] for us to put this one together.
[2:32] So on August 16th, um, she's going to
play as a makeup for that.
[2:36] And then we got Getty Treez band to
come, these guys co-cater as well.
[2:40] Um, and we're just going to throw it
together and have a nice hopefully
[2:43] some nice cars, hopefully a couple
bands, and the weather stays nice.
[2:48] So we are doing free beer garden, uh,
couple, uh, food trucks. From 2:00 to
[2:53] 7:00-ish. I think she's going to stop
around 7:00. So it'll be our Blues
[2:57] and Cruised throw together for a
Sunday.
[3:00] That's like the old Sunday show that
we had, so it'll be hurry up and put
[3:05] something together for that.
[3:06] Um, so that is this Sunday.
[3:07] Um, we did have the pool closed
yesterday.
[3:11] And on Friday, it was the last day of
our Art to the Park.
[3:16] Um, but we are starting the Hub back
up, which is our after school
program.
[3:21] They named themselves the Hub. So
it's going homework club, but I don't
know
[3:24] how much homework they're doing over
there. Um, they like to play games
and
[3:29] basketball and all kinds of stuff.
They have going for them. So that one
is going
[3:34] to start back off on the 17th, which
is Monday.
[3:35] Um, who say fifth grade and over.
[3:37] So that one is coming.
[3:39] Um, the kids are asked to register
this week. They are ready.
[3:43] They have been all summer unheard.
They have been all summer unheard.
They like to hang out and they go to
see all
[3:49] the Catchen Angelina. They love her.
[3:50] So, uh, they're ready for that one.
[3:52] And we are going to Monday through
Friday.
[3:54] So we were just Thursday. We thought
we would try Monday through Thursday.
[3:58] They requested Friday also. They love
it.
[3:59] So we're Monday through Friday now.
[4:01] They're showing up Friday, like on a
Friday, no matter what.
[4:04] I mean, because the problem itself is
not an end. Yeah.
[4:07] So they want to play and hang out and
do all the things Friday.
[4:10] So we gave it to them.
[4:11] Um, we have a bunch of helpers and
Angelina.
[4:13] The fire department has been awesome
and they go and play with the kids.
[4:19] They do pick ball, they do
basketball, they do all the things.
[4:21] Um, uh, well, police hang out and
they do because it kind of rolled
[4:24] from their catch program.
[4:26] So they're there as well.
[4:27] So awesome, so awesome.
[4:29] And then Angelina's husband does
sweet peas. He wants like a band.
[4:32] So he goes in there, in there, and
then there's three kids that actually
are playing into their own acoustic.
They
[4:41] like to play guitar. So he goes in
about drama and they played it.
[4:45] And he actually played at a summer
market. Summer market came to play.
[4:48] Yeah.
[4:49] So it's it's like full circle. These
kids are they're loving it.
[4:54] Um, we need to buy some new deeds for
them to kind of get them excited too.
[4:59] We're still working on the lists for
that, but they love it.
[5:00] Um, and then our next event.
[5:02] volleyball, coming up in the 20
seconds. Um,
[5:05] we have over 20 teams now.
[5:09] So, we are able to, um,
[5:14] get that going. Hopefully that we
have this last week that they
[5:16] are able to, um, sign up still.
[5:20] They just don't need to
[5:21] share stuff with me.
[5:23] Um, but there'll be a beer garden,
[5:24] there'll be bracket tournaments going
on, all of the good things.
[5:28] Um, and then of course,
[5:31] these are going to have a little
flyers here if you guys.
[5:35] Um, our second annual run
[5:37] for your life race at Ralph's and
Link.
[5:39] Uh, October 24th.
[5:41] We're going to do again the
[5:43] spooky race and spooky run.
[5:45] And if you don't want to run, you can
just walk through,
[5:47] you know, you don't have to all that.
[5:49] Um, and then our nature camp
[5:52] again with the kids October 20th,
21st and 22nd.
[5:56] So we are full,
[5:57] full to the max here.
[5:59] Um,
[6:02] I handed out, or yeah, you're looking
at now the survey
[6:04] from the skate park. I just wanted
you guys to see that.
[6:07] 109 people responded,
[6:08] which I thought was great.
[6:09] Along with, um, probably
[6:11] 20 some, I don't know how many you
came, you came a little bit later,
[6:15] but there was 20 some people at the
lease come through there.
[6:17] Face dirty.
[6:19] to actually show up to the meeting,
tell her what she wanted,
[6:21] they wanted and and all the good
things.
[6:23] So she's right now putting
[6:25] together, thank you, Julia.
[6:26] Thank you.
[6:27] She is putting together a design.
[6:30] Um, she said maybe three weeks.
[6:31] And then we would meet again, see
what we thought of the design
[6:34] and then, um,
[6:36] she, because we had seen a designer,
I think she's going
[6:38] to put out examples for kids.
[6:41] And then she would put it in front of
us and then also
[6:43] do another survey and
[6:44] ask the community.
[6:46] Because that was, we asked them
[6:47] 100% of what the community involved.
[6:49] Asked them again, have another survey
and then go from there,
[6:51] but we can't beyond their
construction schedule until spring,
unfortunately.
[6:56] They are booked solid. And they're
actually worldwide, they're going
[6:58] all over the place.
[7:00] So we will get on their schedule
[7:02] for um, spring of next year.
[7:04] with that. Very exciting.
[7:06] So, I'm starting to understand why
[7:08] our, uh, budget was running low.
[7:10] [laughter] printing all these.
[7:11] Hey, our ink is free
[7:12] with our with our lease.
[7:13] So we're good now.
[7:14] Oh, so now we're ready.
[7:16] They're pretty.
[7:17] Yeah. I know.
[7:18] I need to transfer some money in
there, but it's from the
[7:20] lease and stuff too.
[7:22] So yeah.
[7:23] But they tell us it's free, right?
[7:24] [laughter]
Hey, it's not worth.
[7:26] Yes, you have a lot of,
[7:27] you got a lot of.
[7:28] [laughter]
[7:29] You got a lot of. Gotta get the.
[7:31] Gotta get the word out there.
[7:32] I have the truck that comes
[7:34] there with you, so you have to get
the word out.
[7:35] We did do the.
[7:37] Pat and I were in Peru.
[7:38] when you guys had that,
[7:40] so we did the survey.
[7:41] [laughter]
[7:42] He's super excited.
[7:43] He's very excited about it.
[7:44] Tell his friends, you know,
[7:45] tell everybody.
[7:46] What I see on there.
[7:48] We're going to have a lot
[7:49] of out-of-towners.
[7:51] Oh yeah, it's going
[7:52] to be destination for sure.
[7:52] Yeah, this is going to be huge.
[7:55] And um, there's a lot of
[7:57] stuff you can build around it.
[7:59] And I mean,
[8:00] food trucks could probably make it in
there just
[8:02] hang out there with you.
[8:03] Where's the location, though?
[8:05] The pool property to the south
[8:06] of the ball, yeah, that property.
[8:08] So we're going to, um, eliminate the
one that's on the pad right
[8:11] now, the old one and hopefully put a
shelter there.
[8:13] Because we need to recapture that.
[8:16] People love that party. There and
then hopefully it's shelter
[8:18] by the skate park as well.
[8:19] Because people have expressed
interest in doing parties over there,
[8:22] skate park birthdays or
[8:23] that kind of thing.
[8:24] So hopefully two shelters.
[8:26] Uh,
[8:28] so the church part.
[8:29] We bought that church.
[8:30] Yeah.
[8:31] Yeah.
[8:32] And there's a church that was going
up there for like
[8:34] 15 years.
[8:35] [laughter]
[8:36] that church was looking at that
property most recently actually
[8:39] bought the the old rack church.
[8:41] Oh, okay.
[8:42] Okay.
[8:43] They told them.
[8:44] They told them that property was too
small for the size
[8:46] of church that they
[8:47] wanted to build.
[8:48] Oh, okay.
[8:49] So yeah.
[8:50] pool competitions.
[8:52] Yeah.
[8:53] So they're going to make it so that
is, uh, both the bike side
[8:55] and the skate side they could be
competition for that.
[9:00] Yeah. Oh.
[9:01] What have you guys been in touch with
the indoor rehab?
[9:05] Yes.
[9:06] They were all there, they came,
[9:07] the owner, everybody came.
[9:08] Yeah. I know, the deal. Yes, yeah.
[laughter]
[9:12] He was there.
[9:13] I think his name was Jack.
[9:14] I can't remember.
[9:16] I think it's Jack B and she was there
with her people,
[9:18] they expressed what they loved and.
[9:19] They were more I it's a competition,
[9:23] they had a certain layout ready and I
don't know, but it's in there
[9:26] too of what they wanted.
[9:28] So there's one question.
[9:31] Um, I hear you said people want to
have parties, if they
[9:33] get to rent a whole facility.
[9:37] I doubt it'll be a whole facility,
you usually just
[9:38] do the shelter. Okay.
[9:40] For that kind of. Unless it's
counted.
[9:42] No, no, no.
[9:43] That. And it will be Brandon out big
for like a big, yeah,
[9:45] big competition.
[9:46] Or we would be as a host,
[9:48] we would get on it.
[9:49] Okay.
[9:50] Host by that.
[9:51] But are they going to do any fencing
around the back side?
[9:53] I think you back right
[9:54] up to the neighbors.
[9:55] There are houses back there, yes.
[9:57] Um, we don't plan on taking
[10:00] any if not many trees back there at
all, we would like to leave
[10:02] a nice buffer, like a natural buffer,
so I don't know as far as.
[10:05] spent, you know, not sorry we haven't
got that far yet.
[10:08] Uh, we know we need parking on that
side as well.
[10:11] Um, we just haven't got to the layout
yet.
[10:12] You want to see, we don't know yet.
[10:15] Uh, they've talked about lights as
well, yeah, because we just want to
make sure it's not gonna intrude on
the people, there's houses on the two
sides, you know.
[10:23] We have to be careful with that, but
it would extend their ability to, you
know, especially wintertime, sitting
outside.
[10:29] And then you're thinking about like
the lights, how long do you want to
stay there
[10:33] and all that? We talked about both.
[10:34] So, being a business, you can put
motion lights out there.
[10:40] When they're there. Oh, that's cool.
They're there. That's why.
[10:43] So, say 2:00 in the morning, someone
shows up.
[10:47] You think the lights will turn on and
we'll see lights on.
[10:49] That's a good idea, yeah. That's a
good idea.
[10:53] Yeah, yeah, mixed with the timer. I
like that.
[10:56] I really do.
[10:57] Is there a bathroom, extra bathroom
out there?
[11:01] I don't know yet if we're gonna do
extra bathrooms, they're kind of
talking
[11:05] about that as well. Yes, somebody
kind of, I don't know, there's a lot.
[11:09] Or you can close up the floor and use
that building.
[11:13] The building is open for bathrooms on
the outside, but it's far.
[11:16] That's really far there.
[11:18] Um, I mean, it's doable, people can
walk, but
[11:22] you know, it just depends on how old
the building is going to be.
[11:25] Yeah, you got to. They're holding on.
[11:28] Yes.
[11:29] So, um, fix locker room.
[11:33] It's good. Yeah, it's it's all good
stuff.
[11:39] Sorry, like it's from.
[11:42] Um, our next thing was about the
pickleball courts.
[11:47] I know we talked about pickleball a
little bit, but just not a location.
[11:51] So, funding was approved for that by
the Board of Works, everything was
passed.
[11:56] All the we just need to do is pass
the, uh, location.
[12:02] So, location wise, we were all
talking about the Penny area.
[12:07] So this was not the side of Penny and
the chamber building,
[12:11] but the other side, which would be
that long skinny area with
playground.
[12:15] Um, we would eventually remove the
playgrounds
[12:17] and put that where it makes sense by
the bathrooms, the shelter and
everything
[12:21] on that side of the building, and
then that whole long skinny area by
the
[12:23] railroad tracks would be court and
anything else, hopefully parking
area.
[12:28] Um, they were talking about probably
like some pulling area on that would
be like building.
[12:34] And then maybe a lot where like the
playground itself is right now.
[12:38] Um, it wouldn't have to be too many,
[12:40] uh, we just talked about like if
there's a tournament or if there's
spectators,
[12:44] we just kind of have to get that
number, uh, that have any media on
that.
[12:48] So like the after school program,
[12:52] Um, a lot more kids are playing.
[12:54] My son. Hold on.
[12:56] My son played for the first time this
year. He is addicted.
[13:00] I played pickleball court by at Penny
three times.
[13:04] I've never played in my life until
just now.
[13:07] It's actually really fun. So.
[13:10] Yeah, I, is there multiple locations
you'd have, you know, for?
[13:13] That is pretty much the only one
right now. We tossed around a bunch
of different
[13:17] areas. Um, it would be because of the
bike trail that runs right through
there.
[13:21] We were saying they're looking at it.
Yeah, that's right.
[13:23] All the bike.
[13:25] Yeah. Downtown is right there.
[13:26] It's all walkable, you know, that's
what we'd like to to keep it that
way.
[13:31] Uh, the obviously the bathrooms are
on the other side, but it would all
kind of interact that way.
[13:36] And hopefully, hopefully it's a good
spot.
[13:39] I know a lot of people were talking
about the houses right there and
stuff too.
[13:42] But it's maybe four or five houses
that are impacted right there.
[13:48] Just kind of deal with that when it
comes.
[13:51] I think they're not going to have
lights. That's why I think they're
talking about
[13:55] not lighting it at least for right
now because people and how long
[13:58] do they really need to stay there for
right now and that.
[14:00] I didn't know about the motion
lights.
[14:03] I don't know how that would be there
because there are a lot of people in
and
[14:06] out and whatever. You have to face
them towards the business more than
anything.
[14:10] So we're still talking about that
kind of stuff.
[14:12] Is that going to, I know that Kurt,
Tyler Park is rented out for like
practices
[14:18] and stuff. Is it still being heavily
used?
[14:19] They don't rent it ever. They never
that I know.
[14:23] I think this area is paid by the
soldier.
[14:26] Is this paid for by them?
[14:27] The property is private.
[14:30] No, that's um.
[14:32] Yeah. Famous, yeah, famous that
there. That's what I'm talking about.
Yeah.
[14:37] What about that?
[14:38] I don't know how many you can fit
back there.
[14:40] Oh, yeah, it's never used, is that,
do they?
[14:42] Um, all now Nisco, for some reason,
they're always having trucks back
there.
[14:46] I don't really know. That's their
property. So sorry about their way.
[14:50] No, we haven't talked about anything
back there at all.
[14:52] Um, we are looking to fit eight
courts.
[14:55] So we would have to be.
[14:57] I would say that area. I like that
area but I.
[15:00] I should have turned that down for
baseball, but.
[15:03] Where's the sector?
[15:04] Yeah, but it's so, there's so many
trees.
[15:06] Oh, on this side.
[15:08] When you first turn in,
[15:10] not not the courts underneath all the
trees.
[15:13] I know, but there is a lot of trees
still over there.
[15:16] I know, but I'm like, oh, her.
[15:19] It's just, I mean, you would just be.
[15:21] It just, that would he just said I
realize.
[15:24] So they're tiny, they're. I think
they're like
[15:26] six family, and that was like 800
something.
[15:29] But now we've bumped it up to 10.
[15:33] So I don't know the answer to them
too.
[15:35] It needs a lot for pickleball.
[15:38] Really? I know they're not big with
them.
[15:40] You're getting results.
[15:41] Yeah, softball and baseball now is
your whole thing down there.
[15:44] But right now they have.
[15:46] I was pickleball yesterday morning.
[15:50] And there was actually a bunch of
kids down there playing pickleball.
[15:55] So, I know this one's never used
anyways this one.
[16:01] But I want to say where we swinging.
[16:04] Those courts right there are fancy.
[16:07] I don't really know. The other
courts.
[16:09] Good, two more.
[16:12] I know what you're doing.
[16:14] Yeah, I'll I'll drive it.
[16:16] on the way home just.
[16:16] I mean, I just think that that's a
better location
[16:19] for a pickleball tournament this
year.
[16:21] Did you just say you're asking for
new location?
[16:24] No, no. Yeah.
[16:27] So it was approved, everything goes
through Board of Works,
[16:30] it was not um, it's not funding, and
you do the
[16:33] park funding, and it's all uh, the
meeting impact funds,
[16:35] and it's all been pushed through with
the Board of Works,
[16:39] with a lawyer.
[16:40] Everybody has signed off on
everything, and they just wanted
[16:42] to make sure that we have the park
and all approval.
[16:44] And word on this.
[16:46] And we're supposed to, um, meet next
week.
[16:50] Next week to walk through and lay it
out and see how
[16:52] everything works out.
[16:56] Yeah, everybody kind of walked
through and closed it all
[16:58] different locations.
[17:00] And came up with that would be the
the best one.
[17:05] Okay.
[17:06] And then somebody comes in, they ate
courts, they do all of the um.
[17:10] So all the locations possible
locations and have they
[17:13] they've had.
[17:14] Yeah, we've looked at everything.
[17:16] Um, the Hyper Tension company that
they do
[17:18] and they make sure because.
[17:19] We were talking asphalt, concrete,
what do you think, and because of
[17:24] the train that goes through and
because if you look at that,
[17:26] it's all sand.
[17:28] It's really strange over there, I
don't know if there was part
[17:30] of a bridge and this and that, but
it's all sand over there.
[17:33] So, um, asphalt was not a good option
with the vibration of the
[17:36] train and the sand.
[17:38] So they were going to do the
hypertension country,
[17:40] I don't know if I'm saying that
right.
[17:42] But it's they go through and it's all
um underneath and they
[17:45] pull it to make sure that there's
something they use in um
[17:49] parking garages, and it's a special
concrete that
[17:51] this company comes through and does.
[17:54] And then they make sure that they're,
you know, it's not
[17:56] going anywhere.
[17:57] And if it does it has to be hit.
[17:59] And then, um, they come in and do the
painting of the lines,
[18:02] they do the fencing, they do the net,
they
[18:04] everything's turn key, ready to go.
[18:06] I mean, it's like.
[18:09] It is. It's China, yeah, yeah.
[18:11] It's been a long and speedy, so you
just do one court of ball.
[18:14] And still had room for pulling
parking.
[18:16] Yeah, I like I do.
[18:18] And I I do think that should go over
where the pick ball
[18:21] courts are at now.
[18:26] And it makes more sense with the
bathroom for the little kids.
[18:29] There's not that. If there is a
tournament or something and they
[18:31] need they to forty five or something
on that side
[18:33] they can't do it right now.
[18:34] So. I would like to make a motion to
approve the
[18:37] location for pickleball courts.
[18:41] Second.
[18:43] All those in favor, I.
[18:45] Any opposed.
[18:46] Motion carries.
[18:49] We're excited about that because
we've been
[18:51] talking about football courts
forever.
[18:52] That was for a topic at my house is
to find out where they
[18:55] going to put it.
[18:58] where they going to put it.
[18:58] They're addicted to it.
[19:00] So the way part two, this one, I
think they can get on their
[19:03] schedule.
[19:05] Because it's a big job for them, they
want to push us to the front
[19:07] and hoping to get it started, like
right away.
[19:10] I really like the location because it
the Oaks
[19:13] Vanashire goes right there.
[19:15] Right there. Yeah.
[19:16] We were standing there and meeting
with the guy and said,
[19:19] what what do you think about this
location, you know,
[19:21] this and that.
[19:22] And we're like, this is, you know,
[19:24] Yes, and and over there the the trail
is too close to the
[19:28] Dollar side. I think it's perfect.
Yeah.
[19:32] If they were going to start it before
they were playing Dollar
[19:35] playing at this building, they were
playing at that building
[19:38] court.
[19:40] And then they wanted all fours and
they were going to do that,
[19:43] but I remember when they came in they
were redo that little area,
[19:46] the cost more than one of them.
[19:48] So I want to actually do that.
[19:50] Apparently you need at least six
courts to do a tournament.
[19:54] So now having eight will do like the
bigger tournaments.
[19:57] Remember,
[19:58] Remember three years ago?
[19:59] Yeah. We laughed at pick ball.
[20:02] good. We sat here and we're like,
[20:03] oh man, it's taking a
[20:04] Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
[20:07] But these these should be really nice
in there.
[20:09] Um, I don't see them going anywhere.
[20:11] they're done right, and I really
think it's going to get done.
[20:15] It has to be 50 and rising to do even
the painted part.
[20:18] So they'll get the concrete, no
problem, poured, ready to go.
[20:20] But then we were worried about the
painting of the lines and everything
[20:23] and the special coding, but they said
50 and rising temperature.
[20:26] So we should be good for a while,
yeah. Yes.
[20:28] Um, so we're fingers crossed, hoping
that they can get that in
[20:31] before and they'll be awesome.
[20:33] Yeah, the rain is our big problem.
[20:36] But we're excited about that one. We
have so many projects built, it's
pretty exciting.
[20:39] [laughter]
Finally.
[20:40] Um, and my other thing was the Clean
Cities um through our uh
[20:44] our girl with Tim Kingsland and his
MS4 work teams.
[20:50] They are doing a rain garden.
[20:52] I don't know if you guys saw that.
[20:54] Um, at Robinson Lake and they have a
map here of their plantings
[20:56] and they wanted you guys to know,
[21:00] um what was going out there and
where.
[21:02] So if you're looking at the beach,
they are talking about the it would
[21:05] be like the south side of the beach,
the left hand side.
[21:08] There's an area that kind of dips
down and
[21:11] from the top of even from the parking
lot area, like that is so wet
[21:15] and rainy and then you can see a run
going through and then going
[21:17] down my beach.
[21:20] takes all my sand away and it's I
mean a deep run.
[21:22] So this is going to help with that,
hopefully.
[21:25] Um, and kind of anger each side.
[21:27] The other side um is gorgeous with
the willow trees and that
[21:32] kind of thing um and then this side
will have nice all natural native
plants.
[21:36] And they're showy ones, you know,
they have flowers and everything too.
[21:38] So
[21:39] um we're going to fence it off.
[21:41] I'm going to follow have a picture I
should have printed that out
[21:43] for you guys.
[21:45] But it's just a real simple wooden um
post with a rope that goes through.
[21:49] It's Marquette has it for their rain
garden.
[21:52] It's real simple and easy.
[21:53] It's me a little up area out with her
to firm help with the
[21:55] drainage issue there, so.
[21:59] Um, I'm excited about that. They got
grants.
[22:03] They're handling everything.
[22:04] Um, we are going to do like the
fencing and that, but that's that's
about that.
[22:07] Now is this this is not the friends
or else this is not it's not.
[22:11] They wanted the norther side, the
right side.
[22:15] Um, it's so this side if you look at
it, it doesn't have any drain
[22:18] tile at all.
[22:20] Yet, and we wanted to do drain tile,
but this will help with some of that.
[22:23] That side is created from drain tile
into that water where it
[22:26] drains, like that's the whole idea.
[22:29] So it's totally different.
[22:32] Yeah.
[22:33] Who who was doing this?
[22:34] So Tim Kingsland got the grant, and
he's with our MS4 um,
[22:37] departments.
[22:39] and he handles the waste water and
all of that.
[22:42] So he did a grant and they gave him
[22:45] it was an Amazon grant, I believe it
was right under $15,000
[22:48] to do this.
[22:51] And then I believe he got a little
bit more money to do the groundwork
and that kind of stuff too.
[22:55] Um, so they're going to help with the
sand and the beach, keep that
[22:58] from just going my through the water.
[23:02] and do a firm.
[23:03] And then the maintenance at the end
is going to be handled to
[23:06] Davies who does like the gardens out
here at City Park.
[23:09] So right now the parks are hands off
with it, just kind of location
[23:11] and prettiness of it, actually.
[23:15] So you said it's all native planting?
[23:17] All native.
[23:19] Yeah, she went through that.
[23:20] So the grant covers all the
establishment of it.
[23:22] Yeah.
[23:23] They're going to do um, no seeds,
it's going to be plugs, not like
[23:25] full of big plants and ice,
[23:27] but we're going to get them as soon
as possible, um, in plugs
[23:30] in there and hope for fall.
[23:32] So that makes less time to establish
the native roots because the roots.
[23:36] Oh yeah, yeah.
[23:37] Yeah, they'll hopefully come right
back for spring and you know, we
[23:40] might throw some seeds from it,
[23:42] but other than that, they should be
good to go.
[23:45] They should be. Should be.
[23:47] Speaking of rock and some like that
was out there the other day and
[23:51] I know we talked about Book Sandydor.
Yeah.
[23:55] To me, I haven't been out there
lately.
[23:57] Every day. Every day.
[23:59] But then so it it looks to me that's
how it should look, right?
[24:03] Is that what she wants? No.
[24:05] She wants the 10 to 20 feet unmode,
uncut.
[24:10] It is uncut.
[24:10] Natural.
[24:11] Well, we're letting it the thing is
like we're clearing it but
[24:13] letting it grow back what was there.
[24:15] She doesn't like what was there.
[24:18] Um, and because of the sand, she can
said it was impacted because
[24:20] we kind of move around the sand.
[24:23] And then on that side it's all sand
that whole. Okay.
[24:27] it just to me it it looks like it's
coming back to the way it
[24:30] was as long as it's clean.
[24:33] Clean and not just clear.
[24:35] The um trash infested the brush.
[24:39] And we didn't say no, she I guess put
out another email to Kelly and
[24:42] and wanted her to put on her end.
[24:45] I was like, we already brought this
to park board, like we're handling
[24:47] it, you know.
[24:48] We didn't say no.
[24:50] said just pause.
[24:51] Yeah, it wasn't cut. So that's what I
was thinking.
[24:54] But it's going to be cut every so
often, you know, like we're
[24:57] going to try to clear it and Justin's
still going around
[24:59] and it's still good.
[25:02] get something for what she was asking
for. Um.
[25:06] She wanted her company to be paid
for.
[25:09] She she didn't have time to donate to
us to do it,
[25:11] but she wanted her company to be paid
to do it.
[25:13] Okay. I took from that.
[25:15] I thought. Oh, okay.
[25:17] which now doing this as part of what
bringing, you know, which then they
like the power is that they can say
to myself, right?
[25:23] Like this should be this should be
ours.
[25:25] Well, this is on me. Everything else
when I'm paused, you want to actually
get the rest of the lake cleared
[25:28] and and go from there, you know.
[25:33] you don't need any of those things.
No.
[25:35] No, it's it's just there and it's,
you know, not anything with the
parks. It was MS4 that went through.
[25:40] That's all. I'll donated there.
[25:42] money and.
[25:43] Right. Yeah.
[25:44] Yeah.
[25:45] They did awesome. They're really
excited about that.
[25:47] Everybody loves Rockton.
[25:48] They really do. So they wanted it to
be the best of the leave happened
though.
[25:52] Oh my gosh.
[25:53] Oh yeah. That's the other thing that
I I'm hoping to do out there is pave
that parking lot.
[25:58] because it is triple parked out
there. Those cars, you see it out by
the ice cream.
[26:02] And then at night it's still it's so
dark out there.
[26:05] Yeah, I'm like.
[26:07] Yeah, I don't know if you guys saw I
put a fence because people were
breaking through our chain
[26:11] and going back there and driving
fishing in whatever else.
[26:15] So we put a chain, not a chain, but
an actual fence instead of a chain.
[26:18] They were breaking into our lock,
they were picking our lock, all kinds
of stuff like every night.
[26:23] Um, so there's a nice gate that says
no more, we've put a little sign that
says
[26:26] north and south because they have
fish and they don't know what's north
and south.
[26:30] They have fights every weekend. So
they know.
[26:33] Better than spotted too, just in case
anybody has problems. Uh,
[26:37] and then I really want to pave the
whole thing and ease the paving us
through the park and so on.
[26:41] Um, and then a trail around, a paved
asphalt trail around the whole thing.
[26:47] I think that would be amazing.
[26:48] We want to pave trail. Yeah.
[26:51] And then so it's all access from the
bike trail in, you can go around the
lake and then the Saba property.
[26:56] Yeah, all access everybody.
[26:58] And then Saba, the property to the
north of that is all going to be, um,
done by Lake County and
[27:04] Davidson, a bunch of other places
around the two and Daltons too.
[27:09] So it would all be new properties
all.
[27:11] And then they're going to continue on
to continue on to the other side of
49 and into the nature trail too.
[27:15] So it's like if it will be amazing.
[27:23] Oh yeah, that's my dream pass.
[27:26] All right. We're good?
[27:27] Yeah.
[27:29] Thank you. Thank you.
[27:31] A lot of good stuff.
[27:33] Thank you, Michelle.
[27:34] Only thing I know that saves on, uh,
that's through before a self access
storage
[27:38] facility on Sips at the end of the
year.
[27:48] Uh, the last council meeting, we
approved the Fire Parkers contract
for 2021 for.
[27:56] We here, yes.
[27:58] Um, and we also reviewed and approved
the Capital Improvement Plan for
2031.
[28:03] So like for you guys here now, um,
Capital Improvement Plan is kind of
like the city's wish list kind of.
[28:10] Where you just, it's kind of like a
living document where it's updated
constantly with just like
[28:13] things we would do when grades. Um.
[28:21] What tiers? They did.
[28:22] Yeah. Tier one, tier two, most
important, so least important for
here.
[28:27] So that's updated.
[28:29] I just got to say yeah.
[28:30] Yeah, they do good.
[28:32] I think we're going to be checking
off a lot of those milestones. that's
awesome. That's why.
[28:37] Awesome.
[28:39] Sure you got something.
[28:41] I only have two things.
[28:43] Uh, school starts Wednesday.
[28:46] Um, so if you're not registered,
please your registration for numbers
kids who are not registered.
[28:51] The second thing I just want to give
a shout out to
[28:54] Uh, the city and uh, Holtslim and the
chief police.
[28:58] Um, they just recently signed and uh,
changed to uh, SROs in the schools.
[29:05] will now be completely off of the
school's shoulders.
[29:08] Um, they, we get a grant, um, for
about $99,000 to cover some of the
portion of the
[29:14] cost of the SROs, the city has taken
on all of the remaining costs.
[29:19] So SROs of the schools will now be
providing by the city for to the
schools.
[29:25] So everyone can go safe.
[29:27] We're going to have an officer at
every uh, school.
[29:31] Um, and the city paying for.
[29:32] So that's uh, quite a big chunk of
money that we save in our operations
budget that we can do things like
[29:39] That's awesome.
[29:45] Uh, we don't have any old business,
new business, pickleball, final
approval, which we already did.
[29:51] We started that. Well, no, that's
fine.
[29:55] We have no announcements.
[29:59] pressure?
[30:01] So yeah?
[30:02] All those in favor? Say I.
[30:04] I.
[30:08] You come to all those I know, you
know.
[30:10] No, that's not a great. I'm sorry,
Chat.
[30:12] No, he's like, he's a brand new. He's
like, I'm sorry.
[30:15] Yeah, I'm very excited. I mean.
[30:18] No, I didn't want to play off I
didn't want to play off.
[30:21] I didn't want to play off.
[30:22] You know, the word, the word to the
question.
[30:24] No, it's. It's complicated.
[30:27] Don't ever hesitate.
[30:28] No.
[30:29] How does that?
[30:31] I, I did, I did.
[30:32] I did.
[30:33] I did. Right.
[30:34] Just so you know, I'm going to run
with that.
[30:37] I'm going to. I thought you got.
[30:40] And once our speakers go out.
[30:41] I, I, I, I, I.
[30:45] Last thing. I mean.
[30:46] The whole idea was.
[30:47] You know.
[30:48] That's how.
[30:49] It's always.
[30:50] You know, we get all the shit.
Everything's going to be in.
[30:53] That's why. It's like, I want you to.
[30:55] And then it comes out like. I said,
hold on.
[30:57] And then.
[30:58] inadequately.
