So just understand to the 116 00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:57,440 community that if you know something 117 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,800 does happen we can close down you know 118 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,639 their use of the field to open it up for 119 00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:05,360 emergencies. Um, we want to introduce a 120 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,199 new tiebreaking criteria, which I'll get 121 00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:11,199 into a little bit later. Um, modify the 122 00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:13,360 field application process to introduce 123 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,440 two seasons. So, for pickleed, because 124 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,880 they are year round, um, we we normally 125 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,919 just accept applications um once a year 126 00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:24,479 for the entire following year, but since 127 00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:27,440 pickleed is now um year round, we 128 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,039 thought we'd break that up into two 129 00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:30,720 separate seasons to accept those 130 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,759 applications. Um, introduce new field 131 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:35,840 prep cleanup regulations specifically 132 00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:38,560 for pickle weed. Um, prohibit rental 133 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,000 exchange subleting of field use space. 134 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,400 Uh, prohibit vending sales unless 135 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,479 authorized by the city. Prohibit 136 00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:49,120 gambling at the fields and introduce a 137 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,080 field monitor requirement for c certain 138 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,479 programs. 139 00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:56,479 Um, so we can get into the tiebreaking 140 00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:00,479 criteria. Um, so we're proposing that if 141 00:06:00,479 --> 00:06:04,080 we get a tie, um, which means their 142 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,160 prioritization is the same. Let's say 143 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,160 they're both nonprofit, they both, um, 144 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,960 are Santafell residents, um, they're 145 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,720 both serving youth. That's like our top 146 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,440 prioritization on our on our list. Um, 147 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,720 we have quite a few different 148 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,720 organizations that meet that criterion. 149 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,759 And so our I think our um our our rules 150 00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:28,080 currently it says to pull straws which 151 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,000 we found that out. 152 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,280 >> Was that last year? 153 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:31,919 >> Yeah. 154 00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:34,969 >> Um yeah. So we we didn't like that 155 00:06:34,969 --> 00:06:35,680 [laughter] 156 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,240 >> very much. 157 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,400 >> It works but it's maybe not the best 158 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,280 approach. Yeah. 159 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,484 >> Um you know so we kind of um came these 160 00:06:43,484 --> 00:06:44,479 [clears throat] are the things that we 161 00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:48,000 came up with um to come up with the for 162 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,199 the tiebreaking. So um first we would 163 00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:52,720 obviously work with the organizations 164 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,160 like this is what we currently do. If 165 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,960 two organizations are tied you know I 166 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,639 work with both parties to see like how 167 00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:00,880 can we make this work together a lot of 168 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,319 these field users they all know each 169 00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:04,240 other and they and it usually resolves 170 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,560 itself but there are a few cases that it 171 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,039 doesn't. Um so then we would go into the 172 00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:12,000 organization standing with the city um 173 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,759 including compliance with permit 174 00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,400 requirements, facility use policies and 175 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,680 timely payment of fees for the fields. 176 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,599 Um then we would move to percent if 177 00:07:21,599 --> 00:07:23,759 they're still tied um we would move to 178 00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:28,479 percentage of resident participants. So currently we don't ask 179 00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:31,039 for rosters from any of the teams to 180 00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:34,720 show that they are serving residents. Um 181 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,800 so this would give us the ability to do 182 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,360 that. Um and then the next would be 183 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,280 lowest barriers to participation. So 184 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,039 like is the organization offering 185 00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:45,919 scholarships um equitable and inclusive 186 00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:47,680 participation opportunities for 187 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,319 everybody. Um the next would be the 188 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:52,880 length um if we're still tied the length 189 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,560 of the organization's relationship with 190 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,120 the city um with consideration given to 191 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,639 long-standing community partnerships 192 00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:00,639 that demonstrate a stewardship of city 193 00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:03,919 facilities. Um 194 00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:05,759 and obviously to reduce the 195 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:07,440 administrative burden like asking for 196 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,199 all these things up front. This would we 197 00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:11,759 would only be asking for those things um 198 00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:14,800 if there was a tie. 199 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,280 >> I would we think that um really these 200 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,240 first two steps will likely resolve most 201 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,639 ties by the time we start looking at 202 00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:26,800 Santael residency. 203 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,120 I think unless it's 100% residency for 204 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,120 both works, there's it's likely one's 205 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,599 going to come out on top of the other. 206 00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:35,279 So I think, you know, that is like like 207 00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:36,959 Darcy mentioned kind of a big lift to 208 00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:38,800 have to report all this information and 209 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,080 collect all that information. We know a 210 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,760 lot of groups might not even be 211 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,440 collecting all that information on the 212 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,600 front end. So I really don't want to do 213 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,470 it unless we really need to. 214 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,880 » So that's the the bigger one. And then 215 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,480 the second one is just the application 216 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,160 process was kind of what I touched on 217 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,880 earlier. Um this only applies to faculty 218 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,480 field. It would not apply to the other 219 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,920 fields. Um but we're proposing that um 220 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,120 we accept applications twice a year. So 221 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,880 when we accept in September that would 222 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,880 align with what we do here at Albert 223 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,040 Field. Um we accept applications from 224 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,839 September 1st to October 31st finalized 225 00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:19,040 by December 1st. Um but that only gives 226 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,519 access for March to August. And then we 227 00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:24,320 would do that all over again in April 228 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,120 and finalized by July 1st for the fall 229 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,560 winter season, September through 230 00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:31,590 February. 231 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,880 Um, and then all other like if those are 232 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,959 kind of the most competitive people that 233 00:09:36,959 --> 00:09:38,560 are looking for the space that are doing 234 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:40,800 this year round, year round, anybody can 235 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,880 submit an applica application to us at 236 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,399 any point during the year and if we have 237 00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:49,750 space we can fill them in. 238 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,519 Um I think that's it. Yeah. 239 00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:53,839 >> Yeah. 240 00:09:53,839 --> 00:09:55,279 I think like one last comment on 241 00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:57,279 this. I think that you know we when we 242 00:09:57,279 --> 00:09:59,200 really have the situation where we have 243 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,959 two equally prioritized groups that's 244 00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:02,240 usually when we have these open 245 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,800 application windows for the field. So 246 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,560 you know we we give ourselves this time 247 00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:08,160 to collect applications to really 248 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,160 understand what is the demand what 249 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,240 groups really want access to the field 250 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,320 and try to give everyone an equal 251 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,640 opportunity to have access. So that's 252 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,640 why we have these specific application 253 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,240 windows. We think that's important to 254 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,320 make sure people really understand what 255 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,399 they need to do to to get access to the 256 00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:26,560 facilities and then give us a chance to 257 00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,240 really truly review it on a 258 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,399 prioritization schedule. I think that, 259 00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:32,079 you know, one of the the big goals for 260 00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:34,880 us with this policy is to make sure that 261 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,560 it aligns with the values of the city 262 00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,720 and how we want to see these resources 263 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,040 used by the community who should have 264 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,279 first priority access. And you know, for 265 00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:47,040 us, we heavily prioritize local 266 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,760 resident, youth, nonprofit groups really 267 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,160 that do have lower barriers to entry. We 268 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,880 want to see our fields used by groups 269 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,519 that are going to be uh wreck play. That 270 00:10:57,519 --> 00:10:58,800 doesn't mean there's anything wrong with 271 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,720 the other forms of play. We know a lot 272 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,560 of groups are really pushing towards 273 00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:04,399 competitive play, but you know, for us 274 00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:07,040 as a municipal field, we think that's 275 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,279 our top priority. not exclusive use for 276 00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:10,880 that but just one of our top priority 277 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,800 user groups that we want to make sure 278 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,519 does have access to the fields. So these 279 00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:17,440 windows are are really important and I 280 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,120 think this is an iterative process. I 281 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,320 think with pickle weed field in 282 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,160 particular since the you know the all 283 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,000 weather turf was installed we have seen 284 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,800 higher demand and we're also seeing um 285 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,040 requests for use come in in a different 286 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,839 cadence than we had before. So we we're 287 00:11:31,839 --> 00:11:33,920 going to try this cadence this twice a 288 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,760 year for now and see how it goes. We 289 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,440 could always change that or adapt to 290 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,000 seasonality moving forward, but based on 291 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,839 what we've heard from the user groups, 292 00:11:41,839 --> 00:11:45,120 we think this will help them plan better 293 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,800 uh and give them enough time to plan 294 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,200 advance. Also give us enough of a a 295 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,360 calendar that we can fill so we have 296 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,600 plans in advance as well. But but like 297 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,600 Darcy mentioned, if we get requests off 298 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,839 cycle, we'll always do the best we can 299 00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:00,560 to fill on a first come first- serve 300 00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:02,240 basis. And that's where then okay, the 301 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,240 cricket team wants to come play and 302 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,920 we've got space. Yeah, we'll we'll 303 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,600 consider that even though it's not one 304 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,519 of those top priority business points. 305 00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:13,600 >> Yeah. Anything else you want to add? 306 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,600 >> No. Yeah, just in that application 307 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,560 window like it it really does take two 308 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:20,320 months to [laughter] 309 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,040 figure out how to to fit that puzzle 310 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,279 together. And um you know, organizations 311 00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:26,639 are usually really good like at first 312 00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:28,560 they kind of ask for everything, right? 313 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:33,680 and I then we have to go back and and talk about that. You know, they 314 00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:35,440 always ask for the world first and then 315 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,000 we have to rein it in to try to even it 316 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,600 out. So, 317 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,120 >> um I'm going to go back to a couple 318 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,279 other comments on a few of these other 319 00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:46,000 changes. Um I think the tiebreaking 320 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,800 criteria and the seasonal requests for 321 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,920 use are the two most impactful that 322 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,240 we've identified. We even though the the 323 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,720 tiebreaking criteria we we we're saying 324 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,160 it's impactful, I don't think it's going 325 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,800 to have a significant impact on most 326 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,120 groups. I think the area that we see the 327 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,040 most conflict right now where we have 328 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,000 groups that are equally prioritized, it 329 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,279 really is in the the the local resident 330 00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:13,680 nonprofit youth category and we have a 331 00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:15,760 lot of groups that are offering programs 332 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,480 in that category. So, and I do think 333 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,639 that um that's one I want to flag that 334 00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:23,680 there could be um uh some groups that 335 00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:25,360 come out with more space and maybe some 336 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,120 groups that come out with less depending 337 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,920 on how many standard residents they're 338 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,079 serving if we implement a tiebreaker 339 00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:34,560 policy like this. So, I I want to just 340 00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:35,839 make sure that that's clear. We're 341 00:13:35,839 --> 00:13:37,200 trying to solve that problem on our end 342 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,600 so we're not left flipping a coin or 343 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,120 throwing a straw because we don't feel 344 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,000 that that's necessarily the best way to 345 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,680 make that decision. This is a 346 00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:48,079 valuesbased recommendation that we're 347 00:13:48,079 --> 00:13:49,519 making that we think aligns with our 348 00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:51,680 values. But ultimately that does mean 349 00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:53,760 that some groups may get space if 350 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,360 they're serving more residents than 351 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,600 others. And so uh we definitely just 352 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,760 want to make sure that that's clear. Um 353 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,440 I think we've we've looked specifically 354 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,240 at Elbert Field and I think uh you know 355 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,760 there's some examples of that that we 356 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,199 could get into where we have had 357 00:14:07,199 --> 00:14:08,880 tiebreers. We've had to talk with 358 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,560 multiple groups that are in that same 359 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:12,800 category. And like Darcy said too, I 360 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,880 think we do try to do a great job. I 361 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,040 think Darcy's done a wonderful job of 362 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,040 really trying to help groups compromise 363 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,920 and and look for win-win situations as 364 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,240 opposed to all the space going to one 365 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,160 group and then monopolizing it just 366 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,920 because they may have a higher 367 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,519 prioritization level. And that's really 368 00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:32,240 our goal here. it's not to not to try 369 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,000 to, you know, dictate who gets the 370 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,600 field, but really just to help create 371 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,120 some systems that are easy for us to 372 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,680 navigate. Um, but a couple other things 373 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,680 I wanted to point out. I think with um, 374 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,440 you know, the rental exchange, subleting 375 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,519 of field space, that is not a common 376 00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:47,199 thing, but we felt this was a good time 377 00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:49,680 to introduce that. We have had a couple 378 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,560 examples where we found groups swapping 379 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,040 field time. And while that's not a 380 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,519 that's not um probably the biggest 381 00:14:57,519 --> 00:14:59,600 concern that we have, it does lead to 382 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,519 confusion and and it can be challenging 383 00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:02,880 for us if we don't know who's on the 384 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,360 field. Uh uh particularly if there's an 385 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,680 issue, accident, injury, a concern, that 386 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,839 can be a confusing situation for us. So 387 00:15:09,839 --> 00:15:12,639 we wanted to clarify that. Um, gambling 388 00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:14,320 is already prohibited in the parks, but 389 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,000 we wanted to call that out because we 390 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,880 have had situations, particularly with 391 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,880 some of the the adult leagues that have 392 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,800 operated at Pickle Park where we have 393 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,040 found um that gambling has been 394 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,320 occurring, some illegal um sales of 395 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,160 merchandise associated with some of 396 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,160 those leagues. So, we did want to just 397 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,480 call that out explicitly in here. That 398 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,399 helps, I think, our renters really 399 00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:37,920 understand that that's that's not 400 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,839 allowed. And uh we want to make sure 401 00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:41,600 that that's clear that you know those 402 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,120 types of behaviors if they're coming 403 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,399 with programs uh it it it might make it 404 00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:48,240 difficult for them to continue renting 405 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,800 with us moving forward. So and then the 406 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,480 field monitor program is something we 407 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,160 actually just implemented last year at 408 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,560 Pickle Field for the first time. And for 409 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,639 some of our commercial rentals in the 410 00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:02,079 past we've um required security. um we 411 00:16:02,079 --> 00:16:04,639 feel that a city employee that has a 412 00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:06,560 board of understanding of the field and 413 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,480 the rules and and how to help support 414 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,560 groups might be of more of a benefit to 415 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,600 these groups. So in place of requiring a 416 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,759 you know a security guard from a company 417 00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:17,279 that's kind of just going to post up and 418 00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:22,160 be there having a field monitor that can really be a liazison between the 419 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,160 city and the groups. Um we're we're 420 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,000 going to try implementing that instead. 421 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,680 And so for those same commercial groups 422 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,639 that we required security instead we we 423 00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:32,639 uh may be looking at a field monitor in 424 00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:34,399 place of that. We're also going to offer 425 00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:35,440 that to groups that really feel like 426 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,360 they need it. I think particularly at 427 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,120 pickle weed field with the two fields if 428 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,480 there's two groups out there at the same 429 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,000 time we're going to encourage groups 430 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,519 maybe to have a field monitor present 431 00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:45,279 that can help just be a point person in 432 00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:48,240 case there's any issues concerns. 433 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,519 So I just wanted to highlight a couple 434 00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:50,800 of the reasons why we're looking at 435 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,360 these changes. 436 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:58,550 I think that's it though. 437 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,240 So, yeah. All right. Uh, any questions? 438 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,799 >> Um, I I did have a question about um I 439 00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:07,839 was reading through the agenda and um 440 00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:09,679 first off, I want to say I love building 441 00:17:09,679 --> 00:17:11,439 processes to help make decisions. 442 00:17:11,439 --> 00:17:13,679 Totally support that. I think that's a 443 00:17:13,679 --> 00:17:15,919 great idea. It's good for you guys. It's 444 00:17:15,919 --> 00:17:17,280 good for the people who are applying. I 445 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,000 think I like all that. Um, but as I was 446 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,360 reading it, I I saw that the priority 447 00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:26,799 list ha had some like obviously it was 448 00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:28,559 far down the priority list, but had some 449 00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:30,799 that weren't San Rafale. And like I had 450 00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:33,360 just expected that of course every 451 00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:36,160 possible San Rafll one would be above 452 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,360 anybody from outside the city and and I 453 00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:42,080 was wondering did I read that right? And 454 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,400 is that is that um I know you guys 455 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,880 prioritize centerfell residents so I 456 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,039 wasn't sure what the 457 00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:52,160 >> Yes, I believe that on a category 458 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,440 bycategory basis um residency is going 459 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,880 to the Sandersville residents are going 460 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,280 to get priority over non-residents. 461 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,280 >> Um so I'm pretty sure it's the way it's 462 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,120 intended. We'll go I'll go back and take 463 00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:05,520 a a look just to double check, but I'm 464 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,760 pretty confident that we prioritize 465 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,600 anyone that's a resident based group 466 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,120 over a non-res. 467 00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:14,480 >> Yeah. So, Sanfell based. So, there's, 468 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,559 you know, youth serving, adult serving, and that's 469 00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:20,720 the primary and secondary uses. So, like 470 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,559 the first slide that we had up there, 471 00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:25,520 and then it's non Sanderfell based. And 472 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:26,799 then maybe you're referring to number 473 00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:29,120 six where it's standfal based nonprofit 474 00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:31,760 organizations for other permitted uses. 475 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,840 And I think that's more eventbased or if 476 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,880 it's not part of it's not baseball, it's 477 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,600 not softball, it's not volleyball, 478 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,880 >> sports and then got it. Okay. That Yeah, 479 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,200 I knew there I knew you guys always do 480 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,960 that and so I was like I understand why 481 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,440 this is okay. Yeah, I'll give you an I 482 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,440 think we've had a couple examples of 483 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,160 groups that have wanted to rent the park 484 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,160 for I think we had one it was um it was 485 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,240 like a commercial film shoot we've had 486 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,880 out there. We've had other groups that 487 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,280 want to have more of like um special 488 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,200 events or other types of programs that 489 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,200 are non-sports. And I think in that case 490 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,160 we would still prioritize the sports use 491 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,240 >> because that aligns with the the way the 492 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,160 facility was designed and intended to be 493 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,720 used. We we can accommodate some of 494 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,160 those types of programs at the field 495 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,600 occasionally, but yeah, it would just be 496 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,679 lower priority regardless of resial 497 00:19:23,679 --> 00:19:24,080 stats. 498 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,039 >> Yes. 499 00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:28,000 >> But that's that's a good catch. 500 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,240 >> Um I had a question [clears throat] 501 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,600 on the timeline. Um the is July 1 as 502 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,200 someone who's been on a local 503 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,280 immigration 504 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,679 sports team, not getting your field 505 00:19:41,679 --> 00:19:43,600 until July 1 for a season that starts 506 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,760 August, you know, 15th feels tight. But 507 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,000 I I I assume based on your the old 508 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,039 pickle weed schedule that they're used 509 00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:52,640 to that. I've never been directly 510 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,320 involved in that, but like is that 511 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,640 timeline 512 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,960 enough time for organizations to be like 513 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,240 great, we've got our fields? 514 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,679 >> Yeah, I think it's a good question. I 515 00:20:01,679 --> 00:20:02,880 think you know what we've got right now 516 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,000 is applications April 1 through May 31, 517 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,799 decision by July 1 for field use 518 00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:10,799 starting September one. So you're right, 519 00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:12,720 like that's only gives about a month of 520 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,160 heads up notice. Historically at Pickle 521 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,360 Field before we did this conversion, the 522 00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,880 field was uh I would say more often than 523 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,200 not closed in the fall season due to the 524 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,480 field conditions. We didn't really have 525 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,360 any user groups out there. So I think 526 00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:31,520 we're still trying to fine-tune what is 527 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,240 that right cadence and I we want to try 528 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,559 this to see how it goes. We talked with 529 00:20:36,559 --> 00:20:39,280 our staff team about how this not only 530 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,840 aligns with the field use but also with 531 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,000 our um our pickle advisory committee 532 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,559 co-sponsorship application process. So 533 00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:48,400 that was another factor here. I think 534 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,120 this probably um we'll try this and see 535 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:52,480 how this works. But I think it's a good 536 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,159 point. You know, is that enough time? 537 00:20:54,159 --> 00:20:55,520 And I think we'll have to kind of 538 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,600 monitor that and watch that. I think 539 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,760 that's an adjustment we could likely 540 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,240 make at a staff department level. if we 541 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,400 needed to open a little earlier, we 542 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:05,840 could probably make that change to 543 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,880 respond to the community. 544 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,960 >> Um, and then just the other one, the the 545 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,520 list of criteria you have under number 546 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,520 two are listed as bullet points. It 547 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,559 wasn't clear to me that it was one then 548 00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:21,679 two then three. So, just for a 549 00:21:21,679 --> 00:21:23,679 >> in the Yeah, I think in 550 00:21:23,679 --> 00:21:24,720 >> Yeah, if it's really 551 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,640 >> for the uh that's a good point too. 552 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,640 actually talked about that for the 553 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,039 presentation their bullets but in the 554 00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:33,600 proposed application they are actually 555 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,240 listed and I think it specifies that we 556 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,200 would go in that order number one number 557 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,000 two 558 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,679 >> same question 559 00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:46,320 >> uh I had a question about um is there 560 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,840 online visibility into uh who's using 561 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,720 the fields and like if there's available 562 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:53,600 because I'm just thinking about the 563 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,960 small organizations who like I just want 564 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,720 to go in I play one on one random day. 565 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,720 Is there a way to like go online and see 566 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,679 like 567 00:22:01,679 --> 00:22:03,760 >> where those spots might be? 568 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,919 >> I tried this year to do an online 569 00:22:05,919 --> 00:22:10,480 calendar. Um it's tough because field 570 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,280 users change their requests quite a bit 571 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,440 and our our active system or 572 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,240 registration system doesn't 573 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,000 as far as we know doesn't have like a 574 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,840 calendar that we can just implement to 575 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,159 go into our website. So, it was like I 576 00:22:24,159 --> 00:22:26,240 was updating it here on my own personal 577 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,159 calendar that I share with all the user 578 00:22:28,159 --> 00:22:30,159 groups and then again on the website and 579 00:22:30,159 --> 00:22:33,200 it just like it was kind of a lot. Um, 580 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,960 so I I think like halfway through the 581 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,159 season I was like I don't even know if 582 00:22:36,159 --> 00:22:37,600 anybody's looking at this online 583 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,840 calendar. But if anybody does reach out, 584 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,520 I do have like a personal calendar that 585 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,080 has all of the field the organization's 586 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,919 name on the calendar and I'll just send 587 00:22:45,919 --> 00:22:47,200 that to them if they're like hey I need 588 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,960 these three dates. I'm like great here's 589 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,400 my calendar.

Youth member could be between 795 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,039 the ages of nine and 18 years old. uh 796 00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:28,960 and I you know that has been a position 797 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,679 that we've often struggled to fill but 798 00:30:31,679 --> 00:30:33,919 could have a really incredible impact on 799 00:30:33,919 --> 00:30:36,640 the community. So want to um see if we 800 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,279 can try to fill that uh position this 801 00:30:39,279 --> 00:30:41,279 year. Uh the group meets every other 802 00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:43,279 month uh the first Wednesday of the 803 00:30:43,279 --> 00:30:45,760 month. So it's I think the cadence is 804 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,679 they start in February each year. 805 00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:51,039 February, April, June, August and 806 00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:53,279 October typically are are off cycle in 807 00:30:53,279 --> 00:30:55,440 December. 808 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,840 Uh the goal here is to provide a forum 809 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,679 for canal residents, advise park and 810 00:30:59,679 --> 00:31:01,679 recreck commission, city council, city 811 00:31:01,679 --> 00:31:03,760 staff and the matters concerning the 812 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,360 park and the center and really make 813 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,799 recommendations on policies and 814 00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:10,000 procedures. A big part of the agenda 815 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000 items that come their way are to review 816 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,840 co-sponsorship programming and use 817 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,120 agreements. Um the city has an existing 818 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,240 policy that allows us to wave fees for 819 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,000 programs that are in alignment with that 820 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,360 policy. um that uh is limited up to a 821 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,360 threshold certain dollar amount of the 822 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,760 value of the fee waiverss. Uh and this 823 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,200 year that threshold is up to $168,000 824 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,919 worth of fees can be waved. So, you 825 00:31:35,919 --> 00:31:38,240 know, this group is the advisory group 826 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,480 that really receives those applications 827 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,399 and has a chance to advise the city on 828 00:31:42,399 --> 00:31:44,080 which part which program should we 829 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,240 partner with and and wave fees for 830 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,760 um 831 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,679 the fee wavers reductions as part of 832 00:31:51,679 --> 00:31:55,200 that program. It it's really up to staff 833 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,360 to make recommendations and then for the 834 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,600 committee to advise on, you know, how 835 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,080 much uh of the fee we should be waving. 836 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,000 It could be a small amount. It could be 837 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,480 all the way up to 100%. And we can 838 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,039 receive applications for facility use up 839 00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:12,080 to 12 months. Programs have to be 840 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,799 eligible. Um, so the event has to be 841 00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:16,880 open to all residents of San Rafale. 842 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,159 There can be, you know, special 843 00:32:18,159 --> 00:32:20,080 requirements. I'll use sports as an 844 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,799 example. If there's a minimum age or 845 00:32:22,799 --> 00:32:24,559 skill level for a particular program, 846 00:32:24,559 --> 00:32:26,880 that that's still okay. But we want to 847 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,240 make sure that the programs are open to 848 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,919 all residents, that they're of direct 849 00:32:29,919 --> 00:32:32,960 benefit to the community. And I think an 850 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,960 important component here is that we want 851 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,159 these programs to be low or no fee to 852 00:32:38,159 --> 00:32:40,159 participants to re remove or reduce the 853 00:32:40,159 --> 00:32:42,399 barriers to participation. 854 00:32:42,399 --> 00:32:44,320 Uh and the proposed activity can't be 855 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,840 part of any private commercial 856 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:50,230 enterprise or other promotions. 857 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,600 So this year so far in 2026, this is 858 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,919 probably going to be hard to read, small 859 00:32:55,919 --> 00:32:59,840 font, but these are the programs that 860 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,799 have been approved for co-sponsorships 861 00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:04,960 uh this year at the Boro Center at 862 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,840 Pickle Park. First program on that list 863 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,279 is the is the YMCA after school program. 864 00:33:11,279 --> 00:33:12,720 I think this is a really unique 865 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,840 partnership. Um the YMCA provides an 866 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,760 afterchool program in partnership with 867 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,720 Sanderfell City Schools. Um the school 868 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,240 district is receiving funds from the 869 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,320 state extended learning opportunity 870 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,000 program u funding that helps ensure that 871 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,279 participants have um either very lowcost 872 00:33:31,279 --> 00:33:33,600 or free access to the program. So the 873 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,240 YMCA provides the staffing for it and 874 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,080 then they've applied for co-sponsorship 875 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,399 to wave the facility rental fees. And so 876 00:33:40,399 --> 00:33:42,320 really there's quite a few organizations 877 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,039 involved in providing that after school 878 00:33:45,039 --> 00:33:47,039 program for the community. Um, in 879 00:33:47,039 --> 00:33:48,960 addition, the YMCA offers a summer day 880 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,760 camp program, uh, which, uh, a lot of 881 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,519 the the same program participants are 882 00:33:53,519 --> 00:33:55,440 coming to that program, so it gives them 883 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,679 continued care throughout the year. So, 884 00:33:57,679 --> 00:33:59,760 they've submitted two separate, um, 885 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,760 sponsorship applications and so they're 886 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,080 different program models. 887 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,600 Uh, the Canal Football Club, Canal FC, 888 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,760 uh, received, uh, co-sponsorship 889 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,480 applications for their spring season as 890 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,200 well as the fall and winter season. Um, 891 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,639 I think the the reason there's two 892 00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:18,720 applications shown there is just because 893 00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:21,200 of the cycle of us trying to trying to 894 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,679 adjust to the seasonality of of demand 895 00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:25,760 and make sure that we really understood 896 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,679 what the demand demand was going to be 897 00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:29,200 and that the committee can understand 898 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,720 that as well. So we asked them to come 899 00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:32,960 back with a second application in August 900 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,079 this year. Typically they would u likely 901 00:34:36,079 --> 00:34:38,720 qualify to or be eligible to do just one 902 00:34:38,720 --> 00:34:43,679 annual application and that may be the case in the future. Uh, Zumba by 903 00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:45,359 Vivivalon, 904 00:34:45,359 --> 00:34:48,240 an older adult recreation program, uh, 905 00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:51,200 Drawbridge Arts Program, 906 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,879 the the Scouts of America Troop 2000, 907 00:34:54,879 --> 00:34:58,160 Togo Cone Voice, Oracle Music has arts 908 00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,680 and science program and music 909 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,800 instruction program, Canal Arts Family, 910 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,000 an art program on Saturdays. Uh, there's 911 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,599 a mural design element to that as well. 912 00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:12,240 uh a TAM adult school English as a 913 00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:14,960 second language program and the uh roots 914 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,599 of the canal program which is a um an 915 00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:20,400 afterchool program Monday through Friday 916 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,960 uh offered in the teen room at the Boro 917 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,920 community center. So in total um the 918 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:32,480 committee has approved uh $150,000 worth 919 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,640 of requests. You can kind of see the 920 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,640 different percent allocation for each of 921 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,560 those those programs that have received 922 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,079 funds. Um this isn't a direct cost to 923 00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:44,560 the city really. This is what the value 924 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,359 would be if we were to have rented those 925 00:35:47,359 --> 00:35:49,599 facilities. So this doesn't represent a 926 00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:52,320 loss of revenue necessarily. Uh it's 927 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,359 really more um uh I think that's a 928 00:35:55,359 --> 00:35:59,280 measure of like I said if if we were to 929 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:00,880 rent the space during that point in 930 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,880 time. There are a few direct costs for 931 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,320 the city when we run these types of 932 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,960 programs. There's utility expense, 933 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,920 overhead, operational expenses. Uh but 934 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,920 really there there are a few direct 935 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,760 costs. In the case that there was a 936 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,680 program that was happening after hours 937 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,480 or when staff weren't present, we do do 938 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,480 still reserve the right to schedule a 939 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:21,680 facility attendant and potentially 940 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,680 charge groups back for some of those 941 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,400 additional supplemental costs. But we 942 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,000 really view this as a way that we can 943 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,880 ensure the community center and the park 944 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,079 are are serving the community in ways 945 00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:37,680 that meet community needs. Um so you 946 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,760 know to me I I I think this is a a 947 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,640 really a great outcome to know that the 948 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,800 community has had an opportunity to see 949 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,560 these applications that groups have 950 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,760 access uh to you know not only the field 951 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,920 and the community center but really to 952 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,240 provide these services to the community. 953 00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:56,079 uh we really view this as a positive 954 00:36:56,079 --> 00:36:59,359 part of our our overall program. Um 955 00:36:59,359 --> 00:37:01,520 there are a few things that I I think 956 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,040 the committee we want to take a look at 957 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,359 in the next year. Um as I mentioned, we 958 00:37:05,359 --> 00:37:07,839 want to recruit for those vacant uh 959 00:37:07,839 --> 00:37:09,760 advisory committee seats. So if you know 960 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,560 anyone that's interested um send them 961 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,800 our way. Uh happy to share what that 962 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,000 process would look like to get an 963 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,359 application in. Um we are reviewing the 964 00:37:19,359 --> 00:37:21,920 co-sponsorship application policy and 965 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,599 procedures. I think there's a few things 966 00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:25,440 that we might want to take a look at and 967 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,640 fine-tune. The last time that um policy 968 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,560 was reviewed was 2021. Um I I think one 969 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,800 example of something that I'd like to 970 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,119 potentially change is right now we ask 971 00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:38,960 groups to submit an application and 972 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,680 attend a meeting and give a presentation 973 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,680 and then come back two months later and 974 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,920 that's when the committee makes a 975 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,599 decision. And I'm going to be 976 00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:49,359 recommending that we try to do that in 977 00:37:49,359 --> 00:37:52,079 one meeting um just for efficiency and 978 00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:54,560 for uh it's I've heard from some of the 979 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,400 committee members that over the course 980 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,599 of a two-month period it's hard to 981 00:37:57,599 --> 00:38:00,160 remember like what happened. And so 982 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,680 there's a few things like that that I 983 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,040 think we might want to try and clean up, 984 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,320 but we also want to make sure that 985 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,000 there's still a really intentional 986 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,880 process and that the committee has good 987 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,400 information in front of them to make a 988 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,560 decision about who should get these 989 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,359 dollars. Um, we're also expecting that, 990 00:38:15,359 --> 00:38:17,040 you know, with maybe better advertising 991 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,680 of these co-sponsorship opportunities, 992 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,160 um, we may see increased demand for use 993 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,160 of the space. And I think that that 994 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,359 raises some questions about, um, how 995 00:38:27,359 --> 00:38:29,680 what percent of fee waver should we be 996 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,599 giving to groups? Who should receive 997 00:38:31,599 --> 00:38:33,680 these dollars? How should we kind of 998 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,680 divvy up this pot of money that we have 999 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,920 the ability to wave fees um, under? So 1000 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,440 while that hasn't been an issue in 1001 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,359 recent years, we can kind of see we're getting close to that threshold 1002 00:38:45,359 --> 00:38:48,800 now. And um I think you know for us 1003 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,400 we've been talking about you know 1004 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,839 there's community center programs. 1005 00:38:51,839 --> 00:38:53,599 There's a wide variety of different 1006 00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:55,520 types of programs at community center. 1007 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,280 Now the field has increased demand. 1008 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,640 We're starting to see maybe some more 1009 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,720 demand for field use. What's the right 1010 00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:03,359 mix? And I think on a staff level we may 1011 00:39:03,359 --> 00:39:05,200 want to fine-tune. how do we make those 1012 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,200 recommendations to help the advisory 1013 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,640 committee understand what we think might 1014 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,119 be best and align with our values in in 1015 00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:12,960 a way that can uh help inform them 1016 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,200 making those decisions. So likely going 1017 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,520 to be looking at that that policy in the 1018 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,440 next few months and maybe be coming back 1019 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,680 in 2027 with some recommendations for 1020 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,710 changes 1021 00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:28,480 and I think with that I 1022 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,520 questions from the committee. 1023 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:32,800 No, I think those are great 1024 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,150 recommendations. 1025 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,599 » I know that the uh the presentation 1026 00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:42,560 meetings can go long. Um do you think 1027 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,440 like combining the two would make that 1028 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,320 considerably longer or uh 1029 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,920 >> you know having the presentation and the 1030 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,359 decision making process? So, as someone 1031 00:39:53,359 --> 00:39:56,400 who's worked in local parks and rack and 1032 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,280 government now for better part of 13 1033 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:00,960 years, there's nothing I love more than 1034 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,222 a 4 hour. 1035 00:40:03,222 --> 00:40:04,880 [laughter] 1036 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,400 >> Um, the five hour meeting. 1037 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,760 >> Except the five hour meeting. No, I'm 1038 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,160 joking. Um, yeah, I think that, you 1039 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,520 know, I saw there was a pickle weed 1040 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,280 advisory committee meeting packet that 1041 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,560 exceeded 300 pages. And to me, I don't 1042 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,160 think that that is um well, I while I 1043 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,359 appreciate that this is important 1044 00:40:21,359 --> 00:40:22,800 information and we want to make sure 1045 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,800 that applicants really are thorough and 1046 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,079 there's going to be good measurable 1047 00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:28,880 outcomes, I think that's really hard for 1048 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,800 a volunteer that's taking time out of 1049 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,800 their schedule to really digest and 1050 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,720 understand and and I think that there's 1051 00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:36,720 probably more efficient ways that we can 1052 00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:39,440 help guide the committee in making those 1053 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,280 decisions based on some staff 1054 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,960 recommendations and input and instead of 1055 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,119 a 300page packet. 1056 00:40:45,119 --> 00:40:47,520 um maybe a summary of the proposals and 1057 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,440 applications we've received.

Um but my hope 1063 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,319 would be that rather than lengthening 1064 00:41:04,319 --> 00:41:06,319 the process, it would actually really 1065 00:41:06,319 --> 00:41:08,400 shorten it and make it easier for 1066 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,599 everyone to digest it pretty much. 1067 00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:13,680 >> I mean, it's always an amazing process. 1068 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,800 So yeah, but it is a long meeting 1069 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,119 >> and to be fair, they may still be need 1070 00:41:19,119 --> 00:41:20,560 to be long meetings if there's 1071 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:25,670 discussion and real decisions. 1072 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,400 Nothing else.
