If anybody at the VIP said no >> I just Dusty is listening on and online. 59 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:23,400 » So if anybody like to speak to the council or information 60 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:30,600 anything that is not on the agenda but now's the time. 61 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,600 Okay, let's get to business. 62 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:46,240 All right. >> First thing is Swisser Sports Youth 63 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:52,560 or U Sports adding public equipment to caster. 64 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:58,720 » Go ahead, Britney. Um, so we're looking at doing um 65 00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:07,120 doing something else um and bringing like a rectangle deck box 66 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:12,160 up at the Castic Park. Um, I've reached out with Elely. They have something 67 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:18,080 similar. Um, and it's some is a deck box that has jump ropes, chalk, basketball, 68 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:23,440 soccer balls, um, volleyballs, kickballs, pickle ball, rackets and 69 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:27,039 balls, frisbes. So, it's just something that, um, you know, kids are riding 70 00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:29,280 their bikes and they can't bring a basketball. And, you know, I know 71 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,039 there's going to be a lot of improvements up there and that's 72 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,960 happening. Um, so it's just something that So Sports wants to give back. Um, 73 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,080 » it's just like a storage box. >> It's just a storage box 74 00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:46,479 » on what they have. >> Yes. Yep. Um, so I asked Ele and just 75 00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:51,680 kind of I called them and kind of just got just a little insight. Um, theirs 76 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:57,199 was locked. It got broken into. So now they do not lock it. Um, and obviously 77 00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:03,120 with anything stuff gets vandalized, stuff gets broken. So Sports would 78 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,720 provide all of that. Um, you know, we're going to try to, you know, ask if people 79 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:10,960 have stuff that they want to get rid of, you know, donate it. Um, but it's just 80 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:15,440 something that, you know, right at the initial cost, we'll provide everything. 81 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,880 But, um, we just, you know, I don't know if it can be monitored by cameras. I 82 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,759 know there's cameras up there. I know things are going to get vandalized. 83 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:26,240 Things are going to get left out, but I feel that, you know, this is would be a 84 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:29,440 great asset to, you know, the park up there. But 85 00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:33,039 » they've got one at both both of the parks in the too. There's a there's a 86 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,400 smaller one up at what what they call the fire park where it's got all like 87 00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:39,840 the fire equipment and then the basketball courts. There's one sitting 88 00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:42,800 up there too and there's always stuff in there. I don't know if it gets stuff 89 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,600 gets taken out but it's they don't lock either. Yeah. Maybe they can just go up 90 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,280 there and take >> and they did have like a bigger one but 91 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:52,160 it got like the wind damaged the wind came through and it just ripped off the 92 00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:57,199 door. So that's why they did the death box. Um, but like I said, it's something 93 00:06:55,039 --> 00:07:02,000 that, you know, we want. We're trying to give back, but we don't know, you know, 94 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:06,479 something. So, >> is there a spot for us to put this where 95 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:11,520 the cameras can be focused on it, too? >> Um, I'm sure. Or we can we can always 96 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:15,759 just get another one of the cameras that we've already gotten. We have one at the 97 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,639 sewer plant, one at public works, and one up here. Um, and we can they're $30, 98 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,120 and it doesn't cost anything to have them running off Wi-Fi. So we could 99 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,479 always do that. >> And I didn't know if like it could be up 100 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,919 by the concession stand just so it kind of had some you know. 101 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,720 » And these cameras are solar so we don't have to have power or anything. We can 102 00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:36,080 mount them anywhere. So >> where the size is, 103 00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:40,000 » you know. >> Gosh. 104 00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:44,160 » Like just kind of that table if not a little bit smaller. Not the height, just 105 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:47,520 the size. Um >> Okay. You walked through it. 106 00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:52,000 » It's got like double doors on it. >> Um it would just have one door. 107 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,039 » There's one right at the legion. Mhm. >> Right outside. You walked right by it 108 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:59,360 yesterday. Go to the meeting. Oh, I probably did. [laughter] Sits right up 109 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,759 against the building. Probably did. >> Okay. 110 00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:08,840 Just curious. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yep. It's not relatively 111 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,840 huge. It's just Yeah. 112 00:08:11,599 --> 00:08:18,319 » Other questions? >> Yeah. We just have to find the best spot 113 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:22,080 to put it that makes the most sense, but I would I would think anywhere up there. 114 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,599 I mean >> I mean stuff's gonna get taken out of it 115 00:08:23,599 --> 00:08:29,120 and not returned or it's get taken and left down at the basketball court. So I 116 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:33,120 mean that's the reality of it. I think every year we just ask for does people 117 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,080 have stuff to donate back into it, >> right? 118 00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:38,320 » But [clears throat] I think more than anything is just a 119 00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:42,000 reminder that there's no like vandalism being done to 120 00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:45,120 » all all the balls and all that stuff will be easy to have donated as their 121 00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:49,120 kids get older. I mean, I've got stuff sitting in my garage. I'll 122 00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:51,600 » get everybody. >> And [clears throat] if things something 123 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,760 does happen where, you know, we need to take it away, we'll, you know, I'll 124 00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:59,760 contact, you know, Brian help me or we'll put it away for a while. And, 125 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:03,040 » you know, like I said, I know things are going to happen, right? But it's just 126 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:06,160 nice to have, you know, you always see kids up there, but they don't have a 127 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,920 basketball or they want to do stuff and, you know, they're able to use the soccer 128 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,800 nets or, you know, just things down there. So, um, 129 00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:15,680 » and then in the winter time, we could always put it in the storage shed. 130 00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:22,120 » Yeah. >> Just take a haul back up there. 131 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:33,200 » That's it for that. Let's move on to the next thing. Paint estimates for trail 132 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:37,440 and updates. >> Yeah. So, in your packet, you have an 133 00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:42,720 estimate um that Donna had provided for the paint to redo some of the activities 134 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:47,920 on the trail. I also put a post out on the Swisser City of Swisser Facebook 135 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:52,959 page uh looking for someone to volunteer to do the activities we have and maybe 136 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,880 add some more if they had ideas. I haven't gotten any emails about that 137 00:09:54,240 --> 00:10:01,200 yet, but hopefully we'll get someone to volunteer. Um, I thought about reaching 138 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:05,760 out to Prairie once school gets back in session, too, and asking if they wanted 139 00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:09,120 to like do something with it. Um, or Kirkwood if they have art students or 140 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:14,560 anything like that, too. >> Can we just when they do paint it, can 141 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:20,800 we ask her if they can like sprinkle like sand or some like when it when it 142 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:25,040 rains like you're Oh, yeah. Like you wouldn't think just a like a small 143 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:29,360 little strip, but I I was running over there and it was wet. Like I mean you 144 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:32,560 could definitely slip. >> They make all kinds of paint with that 145 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:36,079 stuff in it like an epoxy in it where it makes it not so slick and everything. 146 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,360 » Just figured it wouldn't probably cost that much to add some sort of 147 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,480 » you know >> like grit to it. 148 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,480 » Yeah. 149 00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:49,680 I'm just thinking if I almost slipped and I got size 10 and a half little kid 150 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,680 with, you know, >> right? 151 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,240 » Just be a few gallons of paint probably. >> Yeah. 152 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:05,120 » Yeah. I think the estimate was like was it 152? Um 153 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,480 » the Sherman Williams one. >> Yes. It's kind of hard to see on there, 154 00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:13,600 but >> 138. Yeah. 155 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,279 » Yellow, blue, and red. They did not have grants. 156 00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:20,720 » Okay. >> Okay. 157 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:24,800 » Yeah. And there's money um on the So with parks and wreck, I provide this to 158 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:29,839 them so they can see our current budget, what we've expended so far um and what 159 00:11:27,839 --> 00:11:37,320 we have left. So obviously you can see we have um money left in grounds 160 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:37,320 maintenance um quite a bit. So 161 00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:47,399 » the difference is what we have left in the budget. 162 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:47,399 » Yeah. 880 500 or 8,000. 163 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,160 » Okay. 164 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:03,880 Let's move on to Barks and Rex duties and buildings. 165 00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:15,360 All right. So, I provided what we have in our code for parks and wreck. This 166 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:19,920 got brought up because um I think there's been some confusion with the 167 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:26,560 processes of parks and wreck, what your guys's position is and versus like mine 168 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:31,920 and public works and council, who's making decisions, who's buying things, 169 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:35,279 all of that. So, um I put this in here because it's very small. This is the 170 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:40,880 only page that provides information on what um parks and recck should be 171 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:44,800 responsible for. Um it when it comes to purchasing, it just says follow 172 00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:49,040 procedures established by council. Um those procedures are uh basically 173 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,240 everything goes on the claims list, which is what we've been doing, but I 174 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:58,480 don't think that was related to like parks and wreck. So, when council asks 175 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:02,240 me to put stuff on your guys's agenda and then I put it on your agenda, you 176 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:06,240 guys talk about it, you find something, you want to purchase it, and then it 177 00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:10,399 comes back to me and then I put it on the claims list for council to approve. 178 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:13,760 Um, unless it's like a big item, I make it an agenda item. That way, we can talk 179 00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:17,440 about where the money's coming from and all of that. But, if it's general stuff 180 00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:23,120 like basketball nets, I just go ahead and order them. Um, so I can purchase up 181 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:29,600 to $500 on one item. Um, and so I will usually just order maintenance supplies 182 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:32,639 and things. Um, but I think what 183 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:36,079 has been happening is you guys give recommendations to council, but 184 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,959 sometimes they change them and make a different decision. I just don't think 185 00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:42,079 there's a lot of communication going back and forth on like why it was 186 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:48,880 changed or why it was different or if it was even changed. So, I think if we come 187 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:51,440 up with procedures on, you know, what what you guys would like 188 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,040 to see and what council would like to see going forward, 189 00:13:52,959 --> 00:13:59,199 » I think it's important for us to have a joint meeting at least every other year 190 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:03,680 at a minimum. I think even once a year is probably even better just because 191 00:14:02,079 --> 00:14:07,600 especially on parks board, there's been a huge turnover in the last couple 192 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,680 years. Uh, council we've seen turnover. Um, so just to get everybody on the same 193 00:14:09,839 --> 00:14:15,920 page, I think it's definitely needed because 194 00:14:13,199 --> 00:14:18,480 Last time we had one of these, I Mike might might have been the only other 195 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,560 person. It's been a long time, >> especially with all the changes that are 196 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:26,160 going on up there, too. We're making some drastic 197 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,519 » changes to the park. So, it's good to >> The other thing I'd like to know is like 198 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,639 whose responsibility? Like, say all of a sudden we decide 199 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,519 » um we're going to redo the whole infield, which we're already doing or 200 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,880 whatever, like >> should that be on the city council to go 201 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:43,600 out and get the bids or should it be on the parks and recck commission? Because 202 00:14:41,199 --> 00:14:46,880 in my opinion, just my personal opinion, I think it should be on the parks 203 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:50,480 because we're doing it for the parks. You guys are on the board. And I mean, 204 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:55,360 sure, it's got to be approved by us, but I mean to take away from uh Mallalerie 205 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:58,880 and Brian trying to, you know, call around, get bids or get quotes and 206 00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:03,040 everything, that should kind of be part of the parks board, I would think. I 207 00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:07,760 mean, if you guys come up with an idea, say you guys want to put in a whole new 208 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:11,600 playground set or whatever, you guys get the bids and bring them to us and then 209 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,680 we would I mean, >> you know, 210 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:18,399 » the only thing that I the only thing that I would argue against that claim 211 00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:24,079 would be like that's a that's a significant like construction build. So 212 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:30,639 for if we have the ability to put out a public bid like we're like that's the 213 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:35,360 like as a city like you guys can we I don't know if we have access to it. I'm 214 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:39,839 sure we would gladly do it but like you put out hey public notice we're looking 215 00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:44,959 for public bid instead of okay I'm going to call this guy this guy like you make 216 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:49,120 the contractor come to you. >> Yeah you guys bring that to us instead 217 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,959 of us bringing that to you. You know what I No, no, no. I'm saying I'm saying 218 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:57,680 like the city would put out a public notice that says I'm looking for a bit. 219 00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:01,360 » Yeah. Yeah. She's almost I think over a certain dollar we'd have to, don't we? 220 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:06,399 » Um it's like it's an extreme amount and it's only it's vertical and horizontal 221 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:11,376 infrastructure that we have to, right? >> Um but otherwise it's like an weird it's 222 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:14,480 like a $300,000 or something crazy. I [clears throat] asked about it because I 223 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:19,519 thought that too that if it was over 10,000 we had to put it out to bid. Um 224 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:22,320 but we don't. So, um, obviously we want the best price. So, 225 00:16:21,199 --> 00:16:26,880 » that pavilion was like, say that pavilion was like 23,000. Did we have to 226 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:30,320 post that on our >> Nope. 227 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:35,519 » No, but you can get that's an easy way for you to to be able to not have to do 228 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:39,600 so much leg work of, okay, I got I'm going to call 15 contractors. You make 229 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,560 them do it. You just say, hey, we're looking for a new pavilion. 230 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,199 city person was going to do some of that >> but never did. 231 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,480 » Right. >> Kind of got lost in the bushes. 232 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:58,160 » See, that's where I'm thinking we've kind of like not dropped the ball but 233 00:16:56,399 --> 00:17:02,160 we've got confused of like >> do we supposed to be doing this stuff or 234 00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:06,559 » But if you're not but if you're not in the industry like Patty are you in 235 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:10,000 construction? Yeah. You know you know people in construction. That's that's 236 00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:13,839 what that's what I'm saying is if you have the ability to put it out as a 237 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,400 public notice like that's the easiest way. 238 00:17:14,959 --> 00:17:18,720 » And then and then you're doing like a like a very minuscule amount of leg 239 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,120 work. >> I will say the things we've put out 240 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:27,520 since I've been here I get no responses to I the the ball diamond I had to reach 241 00:17:25,919 --> 00:17:30,960 out many many times >> to get bids on those but that's kind of 242 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:35,840 more of a niche thing. >> The the pavilion was the same thing. I 243 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:40,640 did get a couple estimates after um Grom so we did end up with two or three um 244 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:43,200 but I am like even though I post it and publish it and all that um we're not 245 00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:47,799 getting anymore. >> I think 246 00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:47,799 nobody 247 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:54,320 » Yes. >> Exactly. I I think that it's a it's I 248 00:17:51,919 --> 00:17:57,600 think it's just like a stigma that we're not the same as working for Cedar Rapids 249 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,520 and I think people just lump it all together like you know for us it's like 250 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:06,799 any other place you have to provide your insurance that's that's it and 251 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:10,080 » so I put it out and I'm glad to publish and I'm glad to you know continue 252 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:14,320 researching or trying to get bids and things. I think the thing that takes up 253 00:18:11,679 --> 00:18:19,840 a lot of my time that um I so I'm not able to do it as well is um grants, 254 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:23,360 donations, things like that. And Brian had talked about that as well, like 255 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:28,000 wanting to do that. Um especially with like the basketball court and stuff like 256 00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:32,400 that. We could have gotten uh donations potentially, but I just don't I don't 257 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:35,919 have time to do that. Brian does definitely doesn't have time to do that. 258 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:40,320 And so that would be a good thing for parks and wreck to kind of 259 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:46,559 » I think some of it is you guys have an idea try to thumbnail a price that we're 260 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:52,000 looking at so we can then have an idea of what we're looking at as a starting 261 00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:56,880 point. So say you want to redo a new play set saying, "Oh, well made a quick 262 00:18:54,799 --> 00:19:00,720 few phone calls. It's going to cost 15 grand to redo it." and you guys can kind 263 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,320 of decide among yourself that's the direction you want to go 264 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:09,919 » before bringing it to us instead of us saying oh three of us don't want it but 265 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:14,240 two of us do and then comes back that what we decided on is not exactly the 266 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:18,559 direction you guys wanted to go so give us some guidance on the direction of 267 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,880 what you guys are looking for that way it makes it a little easier and quicker 268 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,880 on us >> it almost it almost sounds like speaking 269 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,760 with Mallerie if you're not getting it's almost going to be getting quotes on 270 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:32,000 anything around here is going to be word of mouth out better than anything like 271 00:19:29,919 --> 00:19:35,039 we know somebody or you know or Cody knows somebody that does this or I know 272 00:19:33,919 --> 00:19:38,559 somebody that does this. >> But also looking at like the current 273 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:43,280 state of where we are and where we're going. We do have a new pavilion now. We 274 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:47,840 do have a new infield. So like the next big project would probably be a pavilion 275 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:52,640 up here if that's like how we if you guys want to go with it. Besides that, 276 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:57,440 in playground equipment, like individualized items up there, I don't 277 00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:01,520 see, and maybe I'm wrong, Patty, any other huge project, 278 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,520 » unless we put a playground on orchard on that lot. 279 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,760 » That would be a whole Yeah, that's a whole 280 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,760 » And that'd be like half million probably. 281 00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:12,080 » A lot where I don't know where it's at where I buy it. 282 00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:16,320 » Yes, >> it's kind [laughter] of fit in. Yeah. 283 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:20,160 But at the same time, I think, you know, just kind of looking at the future, like 284 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:24,320 that's a lower line item, looking at a fiveyear plan. But I mean, the ball 285 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,120 diamond and redoing the pavilion were two big projects that 286 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,720 » parking lot. >> Yeah. And the park Well, the parking lot 287 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:34,159 I think like they can always give us feedback. All right. All right. This 288 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,960 needs to be redone. that goes into our >> No, but I'm just saying it was a big 289 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,880 project to start with when we redid it, you know, 290 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:43,919 » but I think going forward we shouldn't run into too many more of those because 291 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:48,320 » we've kind of tackled some of the big >> ticket items from the outfield. 292 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:53,120 » Yeah, the outfield still needs to be addressed, but I think that should be 293 00:20:50,559 --> 00:20:55,760 much less significant than the infield. >> Yeah. 294 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,159 » But no material like material wise and stuff, 295 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,760 » but people are excited because they see the changes. 296 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,520 » Exactly. >> That's all anybody wants to see for so 297 00:21:01,679 --> 00:21:09,039 long. It just sat there and nobody did anything. So, youth sports is using it. 298 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:12,000 There's more people up there. So, that's what we want. 299 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:16,559 » Yep. And the park's something that's 100% used by everybody. I mean, can be 300 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:19,840 by anybody. It's not socialized by just these people use this and Right. 301 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:23,600 » Yeah. So, the park is for everyone, which is a great thing, 302 00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:27,679 » especially for the youth. >> A lot of people use the batting cage, 303 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:31,039 which is great. I mean, >> people can use it. I'm like, it's free 304 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,640 game. Go up there whenever you want. you know, it's first come, first serve. You 305 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:38,480 know, it's just nice that everything up there is Yeah. 306 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:41,840 » Yeah. We're actually hosting Prairie AU softball is going to be using the 307 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:46,559 diamond this year, too, around Swisseru Sports. So, between the Mavericks, 308 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:50,400 Swisseru Sports, and the AU softball, like the diamond is going to be used a 309 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,760 ton this fall and next year. So, >> so maybe we could maybe see if we could 310 00:21:52,159 --> 00:22:01,840 get the scoreboard. >> I took the I got a it's going to be like 311 00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:06,720 500 bucks. We can try to I can get a new um they still make those buttons. It's a 312 00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:09,919 whole new thing cuz some of the buttons work and some of them don't. So 313 00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:16,159 » the whole board now is probably >> well they you can I think the it's $500 314 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:19,840 for the whole setup and then you can you can like stuff plug and plays. Yeah. 315 00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:22,400 » So >> is that 316 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:26,880 » I don't know what it is exactly that's broke. So, it's might as well just buy a 317 00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:29,919 whole different thing very much works except for the score up. 318 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:33,200 » Yeah. >> Is it worth it to even do that or should 319 00:22:31,679 --> 00:22:36,480 we start like making a plan to like replace the scoreboard and the 320 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,960 controller and update it? >> Was that donated by somebody? 321 00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:44,280 » I'm not sure. >> I think that's 322 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:50,960 » Oh, I just don't know if you could get another controller that would 323 00:22:50,159 --> 00:22:53,679 » Could you? >> Yeah, I found them. 324 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,559 » A new one. Mhm. >> They look It looks exactly like They 325 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,760 still make that >> really? 326 00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:04,559 » Yeah. Like what's the what's your Yeah. Breed name the scoreboard company, but 327 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,799 um it's like D de D de D de D de D de D de D de D de D de D de D or D something. 328 00:23:06,159 --> 00:23:10,159 » Dronics. >> Dacttronics. 329 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:16,159 » So is that is that the 500 or >> Yeah, it's for the for the whole thing. 330 00:23:13,679 --> 00:23:20,720 » So >> we can get going. I think we should move 331 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:26,720 forward on that because we >> we drag our feet on that scoreboard for 332 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:29,440 about about four or five years ago. So, >> um and I'll tell you like when I ran the 333 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,400 softball tournament, a lot of people that are in the 334 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,280 » not even the outfield, but sitting on the side, they're like, "Man, it'd be 335 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,520 nice to know the score in the inning." >> Yeah. 336 00:23:35,679 --> 00:23:41,200 » So, that'd be something easy. >> And and the youth sport, the youth teams 337 00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:44,880 that are practicing are playing down there could use it, too. And I'll also 338 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:50,960 tell you there are two lights that are out too. The left field left light is 339 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:55,200 out and then there's one along the first baseline. One of the lights is out 340 00:23:54,159 --> 00:23:58,480 fixed. >> They told me that the left field left 341 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,440 light was fixed. >> Well, actually like the whole light 342 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:04,320 » No, the whole light system shuts down after like an hour and a half. Did you 343 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:10,880 have that issue? >> Okay. So, Steve's Electric did look at 344 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:15,360 it. Um, but that was after that. So I don't know if it was just so hot that 345 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:19,840 day sports games up there turned them on and after 45 minutes we had like three 346 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:23,919 nights of games for 45 minutes it it would not turn off. 347 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:28,760 » It like shut off and then cooled down and then start started back up. 348 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,760 » Yeah. 349 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:36,000 » I don't know. I mean I know in the past we've tried to get people look at it. 350 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,400 The biggest issue nobody says they have a lift to get up there to look at it. 351 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,240 Mhm. >> Uh but I think we do need to commit to 352 00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:44,640 figuring out that lighting situation because you guys do do a night under the 353 00:24:44,159 --> 00:24:47,679 lights, right? >> We do like three nights under the lights 354 00:24:46,559 --> 00:24:51,279 for summer. >> And I know those those people still go 355 00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:54,720 up on Friday nights. >> Blitz ball. Blitz ball. 356 00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:59,279 » Do they turn the lights on for life? >> Yeah. So like the lights aren't getting 357 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:03,679 used. >> The Mavericks did use them all season. 358 00:25:01,679 --> 00:25:07,279 Um because they had to go after Swisher Sports. So it was dark. They used them 359 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:12,720 every time. you know, I I just don't know. 360 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,360 » Steve's electric is who replaced the bulbs last time, so I'll just reach out 361 00:25:14,159 --> 00:25:18,880 to him, >> which I guess concerns me. There might 362 00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:22,720 be something more going on with that left leg because I know that was the one 363 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,440 that was out. He replaced the bulbs and it went out again. There's 364 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:30,720 » it's probably the bast or the transformer or something. 365 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:36,720 » So, Steve's electric told you everything was hunky dory. Um well after putting in 366 00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:43,039 they ran electric through the middle of the ball diamond and made an outlet for 367 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:49,600 the pitching machine over by the um the batting cage and he did look at the 368 00:25:45,919 --> 00:25:53,440 breaker and that issue and said that he I don't know what he fixed but he said 369 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,720 that it was fixed. So, we haven't obviously tested it. So, maybe we should 370 00:25:55,279 --> 00:26:01,039 go up there and just like flip them on and leave them on for a while um at 371 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:05,600 night. But >> if it's shutting down, it's not in the 372 00:26:02,559 --> 00:26:10,000 breaker. It's up. They have a heat shut down on metal how lights and then that's 373 00:26:07,679 --> 00:26:14,480 why it takes so long cuz the bulb has to cool completely off before it restarts. 374 00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:19,279 » So, it's >> So, replacing the lights to something 375 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:23,279 different maybe. I mean, if the if he's replacing the bulbs, then 376 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,400 » it doesn't I mean, he can replace the bulb and it'll still 377 00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:30,720 » it's upstream from that. >> Okay. 378 00:26:28,159 --> 00:26:36,240 Um, one other thing that I would like to bring up when we talk about duties and 379 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:41,360 roles is Brian talked about I think he said over in Wheelie maybe that they 380 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:45,840 like sold naming rights essentially to like or payload like the ball diamond to 381 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:50,240 the pavilion stuff like that to essentially raise money for the parks. 382 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:54,720 Um, I know you guys do a bunch of fundraising and sponsor stuff, but I 383 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,919 think that would be and I don't know if like one of you guys or you guys want 384 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,039 Brian to come to your meeting because I think he was going to look more into it. 385 00:26:59,919 --> 00:27:04,400 » Essentially, like he said, they basically like kind of put it out for 386 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,640 auction essentially. >> Yeah. 387 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,919 » You could name the ball diamond, you could name the basketball court, the 388 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:15,520 pavilion, if we build a new pavilion here, that pavilion, which brings in 389 00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:21,840 significant money to then reinvest right back in. Um, I think he was saying like 390 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:26,400 the what the one pavilion went for like $14,000 or something. People 391 00:27:25,279 --> 00:27:31,039 » did. >> I did talk to the bank here in town um 392 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:34,159 and asked, you know, if we did do something with a playground if they 393 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:37,120 would donate money to it and he basically said, "Yeah, just email me 394 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:40,720 what your plan is, what how much the total is, and then we'll decide like how 395 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:44,880 much we're willing to give to it." So, I mean, that was like a two second phone 396 00:27:42,159 --> 00:27:50,400 call. So, I think it would be pretty easy to for big places like that to 397 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,039 donate some. >> But I don't know if that's something you 398 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:57,120 guys would like to talk about at like your meeting on like talk with Brian 399 00:27:55,360 --> 00:28:01,919 about like how we could go forward with that. But I think that could even if it 400 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:05,679 brought in $10,000, you know, >> we could get somebody to just look at 401 00:28:03,679 --> 00:28:08,240 the lights and >> fix the lights 402 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:15,279 » that I'll I'll call Steve's Electric tomorrow. So, that is will be worked 403 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:19,760 out. Um the as far as like soliciting donations and stuff, I can always put a 404 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:24,080 thing out on the clerk net and just ask what other towns do. Um 405 00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:28,159 » well because that that was like part of it is you made the post like what do 406 00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:31,679 people want to see? >> Number one thing that people want to see 407 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:35,200 is splash bag which they don't realize like that's probably one to$ 1.5 408 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,200 million. Mhm. >> I mean, because we don't have city 409 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:42,720 water, but that's it's probably not I think someone said a community center, 410 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:46,640 which there isn't the physical space up there for that. 411 00:28:44,159 --> 00:28:51,184 » Um, so it's what other things can we start hammering off this list? And I 412 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:57,360 mean, we don't have a huge budget. [clears throat] Um, but I think even if 413 00:28:54,880 --> 00:29:01,520 we start getting ahead of it moneywise to when we're like, hey, if we want to 414 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,760 build another park in town, how do we actually start planning for something 415 00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:07,520 like that? Mhm. 416 00:29:05,679 --> 00:29:11,520 » My thought is to improve the ones we have. We lost three parks in the 417 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:15,600 squisher cuz I never thought we'd have this little far honestly. But 418 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:20,320 » it has come in handy and it was worth it. So it's 419 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:25,120 » and it cannot be so it can't it can that could got it's got room to grow. 420 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:28,559 » You know what I mean? It could be the mediumsiz park 421 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:32,640 » like this one for little kids. Like my mom takes her to daycare and brings hers 422 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:36,480 like there's a lot. But I'm saying like swing like you could add we could add 423 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:42,399 swings there or something, you know? I mean it just because the post people 424 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:45,679 don't see a a splash pad go up doesn't mean that they're going to two years 425 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:49,679 they're going to be like I can't believe the city of Swisser is not doing 426 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,760 anything for you know they clearly see the upgrades that are that are 427 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,440 happening. >> Yeah. And the thing about it is like 428 00:29:53,760 --> 00:30:00,320 I've never heard anybody in town complain about us spending money at 429 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:04,799 parks. You'll have people complain about every other thing that we do about 430 00:30:02,399 --> 00:30:08,799 spending money, but I've at least I have never heard anybody complaining about 431 00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:10,559 » putting money up at the at the big park or the little park at all. 432 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,399 » Correct. >> And like even like everybody talks good 433 00:30:12,399 --> 00:30:19,200 about that youth sports club that we or group that it started up there with all 434 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:23,760 that stuff going, right? You know, when when we were kids, uh they had 435 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:27,039 they'd do like a week. I think the Willows ran it then, but they'd have a 436 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:31,679 week where it was like a crafts week for the kids, like four days one week and it 437 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:37,200 was all free to them and like they had volunteers that would do crafts with the 438 00:30:33,919 --> 00:30:40,960 kids and or volleyball game or stuff like that. It's neat to see like the 439 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:44,200 kids starting to use the park again like it was 440 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:50,960 » as parks and recck.

We have dugout sponsorships then also like yearong 495 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:40,000 sponsorships and then Yeah. >> And it's a yearly fee for them like if 496 00:34:38,399 --> 00:34:43,599 they want to keep the sign up. >> So Yep. that comes with the yearly fee 497 00:34:41,919 --> 00:34:47,359 and then the dugout fee and then we just have a little bit more extra I wouldn't 498 00:34:45,359 --> 00:34:50,960 say perks but just some other things for like the dugout sponsors and then 499 00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:53,599 there's seasonal sponsors but they're all different 500 00:34:52,240 --> 00:34:57,839 » but you also got to remember that's separate from yeah 501 00:34:56,639 --> 00:35:03,760 » so we could yeah >> test for the sponsors or like the like 502 00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:09,839 the naming rights part of it if we if we want to move forward with this small 503 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:16,000 park and get another like milestone project. We could do the if you want to 504 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:20,800 look into like the or you know make us our QR code and we'll say looking for 505 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:26,160 donations we're going to put a pavilion at the small park and you can have 506 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:30,000 naming rights and then you the largest donor gets naming rights. 507 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:34,079 » You know what I mean? So it's while we're while we're fundraising then it 508 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,599 just keeps track of oh this person donated $5,000. Their name's going on 509 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,680 it. >> What do you want? We just have to make 510 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,280 sure that that gets sent to businesses, >> right? 511 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:47,359 » Yeah. >> Well, probably the easiest way is to put 512 00:35:45,359 --> 00:35:51,200 it on Squisher Strong. >> I mean, if we want to get people excited 513 00:35:49,839 --> 00:35:54,160 about, oh, we're going to get a pavilion there. That's nice. 514 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,920 » Oh, we could be it could be named after our family. 515 00:35:55,599 --> 00:35:59,200 » Yeah. >> Should we should we when we do that, 516 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:02,800 should we post it like there there's a goal of $20,000, you know, or something 517 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,440 like that? I would just leave it open-ended because it's all going to go 518 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,800 to the parks and wreck. >> Yeah. 519 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:13,440 » Fund. Well, they have people has to have to know that there's an end 520 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,920 » because they'll be like, "Well, if I'm donating to the pavilion, how much 521 00:36:15,359 --> 00:36:19,599 » we don't have." >> Well, yeah. But what if someone's like, 522 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,520 "I want naming rights and donate 20,000. You don't want everybody else to keep 523 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:25,760 donating to it?" >> I I think you'd have to put that in like 524 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:30,320 the language that once our goals met, the other funds will be just donated to 525 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:33,200 parks in general because if they put a donation in and commit it to that 526 00:36:31,839 --> 00:36:38,400 project, you have to use it on that project. And we don't need like a, you 527 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:40,640 know, $500,000 pavilion, right? We could do a community center, right, for that. 528 00:36:40,170 --> 00:36:43,920 [laughter] >> But, 529 00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:47,839 um, >> I think that's the way to reach 530 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,520 everyone, though. I mean, it's Yeah, >> we can send out mail. We can mail 531 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,400 whatever we want, but we're still going to miss somebody and they're going to be 532 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:58,480 like, "Well, we didn't get we didn't get anything mailed to us." So, when you see 533 00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:03,200 it on Facebook or Swisser Strong, at least people are excited about it and 534 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:07,520 want to participate. Do we still send out to some of the members or some of 535 00:37:05,599 --> 00:37:11,599 the citizens in town? Do we still send out their bill? 536 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:14,320 » Yes, I send out 208 bills a month. >> See, that'd be something like because 537 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:17,440 you got to remember like a lot of them people that you send it out to might be 538 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,280 older people >> that have some money. 539 00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:22,400 » Yeah. >> You know, they you might want to put 540 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,720 like a little memo in the next one. >> Yeah. I do the newsletter out in the 541 00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:28,000 back. >> Happened to be doing that, you know, at 542 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:31,359 the time. And they might say, "Hey, we'll throw 500 bucks into this or 543 00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:34,560 whatever, you know." >> So, what do you think the next project 544 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:40,079 we should think about doing? The small pavilion right here. 545 00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:44,240 » We'll talk about that again. >> Yeah. 546 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:49,440 » We have We have any other things we want to discuss as far as goals? I I mean is 547 00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:56,400 everyone in agreement that parks and wreck should be doing donations 548 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:58,800 doing the planning for parks and 549 00:37:57,359 --> 00:38:02,880 » I haven't been up to the park. How how close are we how close is dying doctors 550 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,960 being done this week? Yeah. >> Yeah. I didn't know if they got backed 551 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:08,240 up because of the rain. >> They did a little bit but they allotted 552 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:13,680 some time and so it should be done by Friday. But I would also say like 553 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:19,040 council like if parks and come with us with a recommendation 554 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:23,119 if the money and the funds are there we should push it through 555 00:38:21,359 --> 00:38:28,000 » just like with PNC when they make recommendations on go forward with this 556 00:38:25,839 --> 00:38:30,960 we always follow that I think we should also trust 557 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:35,359 » well a lot of times too when we vet that kind of stuff is you're getting again 558 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:40,720 going back to quotes or whatever if you got like two or two or three things to 559 00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:45,040 put against each other. That helps us make a decision, too. And all the 560 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:51,040 information that the council can get on any specific project or whatever, that's 561 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:55,040 so the more information we get, the better it is. If and I will say if 562 00:38:53,599 --> 00:39:00,400 you're going I mean and I'm sure you guys have discussed it before but for 563 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:06,000 for bids and I mean we'll do our best to hey we talked you know if Patty or I or 564 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:11,280 whoever goes out and gets a bid this person's really excited about this or 565 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:15,760 gave us way more information did but they're not the lowest bidder. 566 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:18,400 » You can choose to not choose the lowest bidder. 567 00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:20,800 » Yeah was not the lowest bidder on the pavilion. 568 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:24,960 » No I I get that. I just want to make sure that 569 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:28,720 » Yeah. I think what HR Green does is they solicit bids for our infrastructure. 570 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:32,400 They provide us with the list of all the bids and then they make a recommendation 571 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:36,160 based on what was in the bids. They compare them all. So, I think that'd be 572 00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:40,079 a good like structure to be like, here's all the bids. This is my this is our 573 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:43,079 recommendation. So, they have all the information. 574 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:49,520 » Anything else? uh liquid. Did you ever figure out the water at the park up 575 00:39:48,079 --> 00:39:54,640 there and good and bad? >> Yes, it um it did come back um no 576 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:58,960 nitrates, no bacteria, but it did come back for three different PAS chemicals. 577 00:39:57,119 --> 00:40:03,119 Um so if we put a water fountain up there, it does need to be filtered. It's 578 00:40:01,119 --> 00:40:05,839 about $6,000 for a filtered water fountain. 579 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,079 » $6,000. >> Yeah. 580 00:40:07,807 --> 00:40:12,480 [clears throat] >> Yep. But there is a grant um there is a 581 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:17,280 grant through Delta Dental that they provide public drinking water sources. 582 00:40:14,720 --> 00:40:20,240 They provide the fountain to you and you just have to pay to get it installed. So 583 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:23,520 I'm waiting for that to open up I think in October. I have it on my calendar and 584 00:40:21,839 --> 00:40:26,640 then I'm going to write that grant to try to get that a free fountain. But 585 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:33,440 yeah, >> it would be nice to have water there. 586 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:37,119 » Yeah. I just I I know we had one there before, but in my good conscience, I 587 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:41,760 couldn't be like, "Put it back up knowing that city hall also tested 588 00:40:39,839 --> 00:40:45,200 positive for the same three chemicals." >> Take it down because any of that I think 589 00:40:43,599 --> 00:40:46,800 » it was broken or something. >> Yeah. 590 00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:51,920 » So, >> yep. 591 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:57,200 But yes, it is on my radar. >> We're ready to move on then. We'll go to 592 00:40:53,760 --> 00:41:02,240 D which is flow an approval process with city city council which I think we kind 593 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:08,400 of you kind of touched on that. >> Yeah. Basically make recommendations to 594 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:12,960 council um or usually you guys will give me your minutes, your recommendations 595 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:16,720 and then if it's already something you guys want to do I if it's small enough I 596 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:20,000 put it on the claims list. If it's bigger like a project, then I will put 597 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:26,720 it as an agenda item and you guys are welcome to come to council and talk 598 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:35,359 about why or just submit a note with it and then we make the purchases. So I I 599 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:35,359 or Brian will make the purchase. 600 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:45,800 Okay, we'll move on. We develop five year 601 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,800 goals. 602 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:55,839 » What are some things that you guys want to see and obviously we'll have to 603 00:41:51,760 --> 00:42:00,000 budget for as well. Um, but I think it's just like we have with our roads. We 604 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:06,480 have a 20-year road management plan. I think we should start developing a 5 10 605 00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:12,480 year parks plan as well like this is what because like there's a that park as 606 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:18,000 P said nothing happened to it for 20 years now we're trying to do a lot fast 607 00:42:16,079 --> 00:42:22,640 and it's definitely obviously not feasible but at the same time like Mal 608 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:28,160 and I and Patty were talking one day like we have a budget amount for you 609 00:42:25,599 --> 00:42:32,240 plus we have through the Swiss are open like 10,000 almost dollars that are 610 00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:39,119 still sitting there to be spent, which hopefully we spend tonight. Um, but you 611 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:43,280 know, I plan on keep I think Adam's going to keep doing the open with me and 612 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:46,800 we raised about 4 to 5,000 every year towards that, but I think there's a lot 613 00:42:45,359 --> 00:42:52,839 of things that still need done. So, we need to I think create a longevity plan 614 00:42:49,839 --> 00:42:52,839 here. 615 00:42:53,359 --> 00:42:58,800 Is there any type of leagues or anything you guys would interested in like 616 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:04,079 getting started up there or anything like that? Well, 617 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:07,760 Adam doesn't know yet, but I think Adam's going to help me start a 618 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:10,640 volleyball league next year. I'll sign in. 619 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,160 I I mean, a lot of these communities have volleyball leagues. 620 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:16,560 » Yeah. >> Uh I was looking at doing eight teams 621 00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:19,520 Monday nights, doing it like seven weeks long where you play every team once, 622 00:43:18,319 --> 00:43:22,560 then you have a tournament at the end of the year, something like that. But 623 00:43:21,119 --> 00:43:26,400 Monday night seemed to work. I kind of already talked with Sonia to see if I 624 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:29,839 could get like a special in the bar, you know, for or at the Legion or whatever, 625 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:35,359 you know, to get people then to come into town. But just something that one 626 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:37,839 time if you go up and watch, but I've talked to a lot of people and they're 627 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:42,640 like, "Oh, I'd put a team together. I'd put a team together." You know, I think 628 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:48,480 start small. Probably need even a half load of fresh sand on top of it just to 629 00:43:45,839 --> 00:43:50,880 make it all nice and good. But um that's something I'd probably look at starting 630 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:55,280 in the spring. >> There there's a you know there's a we 631 00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:59,839 could always start like a a five or six week kickball league too. That's that's 632 00:43:57,119 --> 00:44:03,440 going over well in in in Elely I know for a fact. I mean it's going over good 633 00:44:01,839 --> 00:44:07,760 there. That's a you know you could do that like on a Thursday night or a 634 00:44:05,599 --> 00:44:11,839 Sunday night or something. Three games and or you know I mean we only got one 635 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,160 diamond and they play on three or four over there but still I mean it could be 636 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:18,480 a small one. >> No problem. I'll advise you with on all 637 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,880 these leagues. You have to have someone that 638 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:24,079 » kind of grabs bull by the horn and actually runs it, 639 00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:26,640 » right? Like it's great to have all these ideas, but 640 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,839 » it's a lot of work. >> It is. And that's like even me doing the 641 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:34,400 volleyball league. I'm like, man, do I really want to commit my 642 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:38,240 » spring and early summer to it? Yes and no. And when you get rain out of all 643 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:41,359 this, I mean, even have an adult league, so sports, but to 644 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:47,040 » Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think once we get 645 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:51,359 the pickle ball courts there, maybe you could get pickle ball. 646 00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:54,720 » We've had like so we had one last winter and we went over to Shyville as adult 647 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:58,560 and the parents were like, "Hey, we want to do pickle ball." And so for sure 648 00:44:56,720 --> 00:45:01,680 sports, you know, we >> created a little thing. I mean, and they 649 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:06,319 kept on asking us, "Hey, you going to do it again?" So, I mean, that's I think 650 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:10,400 adults wanted people are wanting to do that. It's just 651 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:14,800 » it it just takes time, right? You know, and a lot of Yeah. 652 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,560 There's so much potential. >> Yeah. 653 00:45:15,359 --> 00:45:21,920 » Yeah. >> I think in terms for a five-year goal 654 00:45:19,599 --> 00:45:26,319 plan is like facilities wise like what do we want to purchase, 655 00:45:23,119 --> 00:45:28,319 » right? Project projectwise the the leagues can come. 656 00:45:27,359 --> 00:45:31,680 » Yeah. as they >> and that's why like even like the next 657 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:37,119 line item when we start talking about new equipment um one thing I really 658 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:41,599 advise and hope is like you guys would take a layout of it and think all right 659 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:46,720 in year one we're going to purchase this and put it here because then in year 660 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:50,800 three we're going to build put in new swings over here or whatnot but instead 661 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:55,599 of us just start like all right there's an open space here let's do that which 662 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:59,920 then compromises the yeah the rest of this layout Because 663 00:45:57,599 --> 00:46:02,000 honestly the railroad ties some of that up there. 664 00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:04,319 » Well, the railroad ties are getting replaced. 665 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:08,960 » They are getting replaced. The actually the the new ones are getting delivered 666 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:12,960 this week. So those will all be gone. >> And plus I think I think on our plan too 667 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:16,000 is we're redoing the fence. Not this year but 668 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:20,079 » that's right kind of saying >> around the pickle ball court. You know 669 00:46:17,839 --> 00:46:24,079 the fencing is we couldn't do it all this year because we're doing the pickle 670 00:46:21,359 --> 00:46:28,319 ball court but that was something we >> see this is some stuff that you guys all 671 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,800 knew about. We're in the park. We have no idea. 672 00:46:29,359 --> 00:46:33,359 » That's why I think you guys should be bringing your ideas to us instead of 673 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:38,000 Yeah. >> Yeah. Because you feel like we're 674 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:41,920 getting the information from you guys, >> so we're not communicating together, 675 00:46:39,839 --> 00:46:46,480 which I drove by the park and I was like, "What in the 676 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:49,520 » heck is going on with the basketball parking?" 677 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:53,599 » I had no idea. That's where I just think, you know, even for the citizens, 678 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:56,560 we're like, we could be like, hey, next year we're putting up 679 00:46:54,960 --> 00:47:00,079 » pavilion at the small park. In two years, we're redoing the fencing around 680 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:04,000 the basketball court, right? >> And then we could just refer to this 681 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:07,359 plan and say, this is what's coming. >> Then we can put it in our budget, too. 682 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:11,280 » We do kind of do that with the budget, but our all of our large projects I have 683 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:14,319 on that spreadsheet, and then I if we don't do them that year, I move them to 684 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:17,119 the next page and it's for the next year. So, 685 00:47:15,359 --> 00:47:24,319 » stuff that we need to share with the rest. citizens that nobody has any idea. 686 00:47:21,359 --> 00:47:28,960 » So fiscal year, >> how do you say 28? Next year, next July 687 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:34,079 1st. >> Like would a goal for you guys be to try 688 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:36,240 and get a pavilion up here at the small park? 689 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:40,240 » I think that would help the farmers markets to have the bands could play 690 00:47:38,319 --> 00:47:43,520 under it. People could sit under it. >> I know the daycarees would love to be 691 00:47:41,839 --> 00:47:47,920 able to do picnics up here, >> right? Um, and even families could use 692 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:51,440 it for like say they got some people coming in or whatever. 693 00:47:49,119 --> 00:47:54,480 » Yeah, it'd be another like revenue s even though it's small, it's still a 694 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:58,000 revenue source like >> I would say if we commit to that, we 695 00:47:56,720 --> 00:48:03,200 also know that that's probably going to take up almost all our budget because it 696 00:48:00,319 --> 00:48:06,880 is a big but at the same time if we raise $20,000 in donations, then we can 697 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:10,480 turn around and be like, "All right, now we can purchase two more playground 698 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:14,319 equipment." Yeah, >> but but I think in the last year, year 699 00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:17,680 and a half, we've done a lot. We've already spent a lot of money up there. 700 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:21,680 So, it wouldn't be I mean, you guys might not need nothing up there next 701 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:25,440 year, you know. >> We also have to look for the trees that 702 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:30,480 have to come down and really put it otherwise back up in its place. 703 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:36,000 » It does need trees up there. >> I mean, that's another thing though that 704 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:39,920 we can uh grants, donations, memorials. Um just put five. 705 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:44,160 » Yeah. Well, and we've taken a lot down. 706 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:48,000 » I've taken a lot down. >> Yeah, 707 00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:51,680 » that might be another one, too, where people would donate a tree and decorate 708 00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:55,440 someone. Yeah. >> You know, that's kind of a fine line 709 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:59,040 there, too. Do we want the big >> benches? Do we want this or that? You 710 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,839 know, everyone's like, well, you have to come up with an idea for a bench. Well, 711 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:06,720 every you might have a different idea for a bench that memorializes your 712 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:09,440 family than what I have. Mhm. >> So, you kind of got a fine line there 713 00:49:08,319 --> 00:49:12,720 what you want. >> Yeah. And especially like with the 714 00:49:11,359 --> 00:49:14,880 person that's donating, you might want to like 715 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:18,720 » go over it with them and not just say, "Hey, this is what we're buying." Yes. 716 00:49:16,559 --> 00:49:22,640 » And they like don't want that, you know? >> We could also make up like a portfolio 717 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:27,359 of some sort like, "Hey, if you want a memorial tree, these are the options." 718 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:31,359 And you know, you donate the money, we'll do everything else. And then we 719 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:36,160 can work with Tipsky or something and like have trees that they know that 720 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:39,200 we'll get or benches. Pick out two or three that we like for the park and 721 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:45,359 these can be memorial benches. You can donate them. 722 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:48,480 » So are we in agreement like fiscal year 28 723 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:52,800 focus should be on this but they'll hang up at the little park. 724 00:49:50,960 --> 00:50:00,800 » Yeah, I would say I mean I would shoot for that. That way and moving forward we 725 00:49:56,559 --> 00:50:07,520 can work on a more well a more elongated plan I guess because we're not gonna 726 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:11,440 come up with a fiveyear plan in tonight 30 minutes. 727 00:50:08,240 --> 00:50:17,440 » I was thinking like if if ne 28 we focus on 728 00:50:13,599 --> 00:50:21,440 uh a pavilion here this way you're 29 let's get all new fencing around the 729 00:50:19,599 --> 00:50:25,760 basketball court or something like that. Right. One thing I would also like to 730 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:30,480 see is up around the ball diamonds, uh, it'd be back towards home plate, 731 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:34,800 there's these two awkward little gravel triangles 732 00:50:32,319 --> 00:50:40,319 that just like that probably wouldn't be a lot of money concrete wise to do like 733 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:45,119 in the next year to just have someone cuz then it's all concrete back behind 734 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:48,240 there. And then I think we set aside a concrete budget. 735 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:54,240 » We talked about that. and just keep coming away from the dugouts out so that 736 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:58,160 in five or 10 years that's all concrete back behind there behind the trail to 737 00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:02,200 get ri you know eliminate all that gravel stuff. 738 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,200 » Mhm. 739 00:51:02,319 --> 00:51:10,720 » Even if we set aside 5,000 and talk to anybody Frank Hart and say all right 740 00:51:08,079 --> 00:51:14,559 5,000 how far can you come out this way? >> We'll just keep doing that every year. 741 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:21,760 You know, is there anything we could do for the 742 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:26,000 um between the farmer and the park with the uh post that he's put up? 743 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:31,200 » Build a wall. >> He has asked he has approached the city 744 00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:35,040 and asked us to put up a fence at some point in the past. I don't know what 745 00:51:34,079 --> 00:51:40,559 went on with that. >> We got a quote for that at that time, 746 00:51:37,599 --> 00:51:44,640 too. There was a quote that ran all the way down the first base, all the way 747 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:48,319 behind home plate, all the way down, all the way back and it was astronomical. It 748 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:52,480 was huge. >> I don't think against the the field 749 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:57,440 would be so bad, but just like kids are always running on his driveway. 750 00:51:54,800 --> 00:52:00,480 » He has been a lot better in the past year. 751 00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:02,559 » But it would be nice if we could get rid of those 752 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:06,800 » Yes. >> pokes it look a lot nicer. So, I mean 753 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:10,400 that'd be something like >> honestly why wouldn't you just instead 754 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:13,839 post why don't we just put a rope there or something so it looks foolish with 755 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:18,079 those posts there >> but that' be like the thing like five 756 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:23,680 years from now do we want to is that our big ticket item at the park too just all 757 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:28,400 along his driveway put a 4 foot high fence or 758 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:32,800 » 30 foot high six foot high I don't know >> more advertising surface there 759 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:38,319 » yeah side for himself. 760 00:52:35,839 --> 00:52:42,720 » As long as he weed eats his side going to keep it nice, right? 761 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:47,040 » But like that's the other thing like those swings. I think I was a little kid 762 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:51,040 on those swings like and not only like the swings themselves, it's it's just a 763 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:55,200 huge structure that takes up a lot of space where I think we could still have 764 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:59,359 the swings but reduce the amount of space that the swings take up which 765 00:52:57,119 --> 00:53:05,440 would then lead to more playground equipment. Right. Those swings come from 766 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:10,240 the Swisser school. I have no idea. They might have that long ago. 767 00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:13,240 » Remember when they had teeter totter up there? 768 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:21,040 » Go around. They had a teeter. >> So if we get the funding for the 769 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:25,359 pavilion before Tony made there any way we can just go ahead and get that 770 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:30,079 approved and go for it. >> Oh yeah. If we get donations or 771 00:53:28,079 --> 00:53:35,520 anything, anything can be expedited.

So, that's like stuff that we need to start thinking 789 00:54:46,079 --> 00:54:51,359 about maintaining so we don't have a big rusty structure right there. 790 00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:56,319 » You're talking about this new one? >> This one? Yeah. Yeah. The rubber comes 791 00:54:53,680 --> 00:55:00,000 off and like it just chips away and it's already starting to get some rust in 792 00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,800 some spots. All the plastic's fading. I think it just wasn't maintained from day 793 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:06,960 one. I don't even know what the maintenance is for that, but I'm sure 794 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:11,720 there's something to keep it nice.

[laughter] 815 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:36,480 I think that once we get the once we get the page or however we're wanting to 816 00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:41,280 structure getting the funding or reaching out for donations for that then 817 00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:46,400 what you don't need necessarily need anybody's permission to do anything like 818 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:50,559 Cody and I could go up and start the hey Monday 819 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:54,880 uh we're going to start a you know a volleyball thing and the donations for 820 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:58,960 this year are going to go to the new pavilion you know and then you just 821 00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:01,920 bring the bring the money in or however Yeah. 822 00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:06,559 » So then then something's already concrete like, hey, you can go look at 823 00:57:03,839 --> 00:57:10,960 what we're raising money for. This home run derby is going to all the funds 824 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:14,799 raised is going to go to that. It makes it easier for you to 825 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:17,920 » to put something out there to where people can actually see like, oh, okay, 826 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:22,799 that that's where it's going. >> One other not big ticket thinking, but 827 00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:29,920 decent ticket item that I was thinking about is the shed down there. It is so 828 00:57:25,839 --> 00:57:34,880 small. It is so cramped. Um, my dad just bought one of those prefab 829 00:57:32,319 --> 00:57:40,960 sheds for down at his cabin. I mean, it's a good size shed and I just text 830 00:57:37,839 --> 00:57:43,839 him asked him and it was like 4,000. So, >> I mean, I thought you like a 831 00:57:42,319 --> 00:57:49,119 » You could probably even reach out to like Iowa sheds and be like, "Hey, so 832 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:51,119 sure you sports or the parks and wreck want to upgrade this? Would you donate 833 00:57:50,559 --> 00:57:55,839 one >> or or donate half 834 00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:59,440 match the other half or something?" But I think even like something like that, 835 00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:03,920 like my dad has one back behind his house now, which I think that would 836 00:58:01,599 --> 00:58:08,079 probably be ample enough room that we then go in build shelves in it so that 837 00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:10,559 everything has a spot. >> Yes. 838 00:58:08,799 --> 00:58:13,760 » And there's even a cement pad right next to that shed that's down there. So I 839 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:17,119 mean, >> yeah. 840 00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:22,240 » Well, you know, you could do is >> sell the shed that's there to someone. 841 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:24,880 Somebody would want it or buy it. >> Is it on concrete? 842 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:28,880 » Yes. It is. And I know Prairie, I don't know 843 00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:31,920 who you would contact, but Prairie has like a construction thing that kids come 844 00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:34,880 out and builds. >> I've been trying to get a hold of them 845 00:58:33,359 --> 00:58:38,240 to build us picnic tables. They never call you back. I've been trying for 846 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:42,240 months. >> Yeah. They do houses and everything. 847 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:46,160 » Yeah. Well, they the Army Corps of Engineers, all the high schools in Iowa 848 00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:50,079 built picnic tables and donated them to the Iowa to the core of engineers. So, 849 00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:54,319 all of those spots at Sandy Beach have new tables. And so I've called the Army 850 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:57,680 Corps of Engineers to get their contact information and I've left messages and 851 00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:01,079 yeah, >> I've been trying 852 00:59:02,079 --> 00:59:09,520 » like that's where like even when we do our Swisser open like if we can raise 853 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:13,599 4,000 I would like to donate said let's just go get a shed right now. 854 00:59:11,119 --> 00:59:18,000 » Like I get we could probably fund raise and do other ways for it but 855 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:21,680 » here's $4,000. just go purchase it, move that other one, and let's get a shed set 856 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:24,559 in place that >> can actually handle this. 857 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:27,760 » So, you can decide if you need to keep that other concrete pad or something. 858 00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,920 » No, I was going to put the pitching machine in there during the winter then, 859 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,880 too. I would >> pitching machine is in there during 860 00:59:31,599 --> 00:59:36,799 because we don't have anywhere else to put it and all that stuff stays in there 861 00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:39,599 because there's nowhere else to >> And that's in their agreement, too, that 862 00:59:38,319 --> 00:59:44,319 they can use the shed. >> Yep. 863 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:48,640 » Yeah.

Not mower, but 869 01:00:03,119 --> 01:00:07,200 you had some so you could drag the infield. Yeah, 870 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:11,119 » we had a little tractor or something up there.

We've been 872 01:00:13,359 --> 01:00:17,440 doing Yes. >> Like when I had my tournament, he asked 873 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:21,359 like what day I started cuz he wanted to make sure the field was drugged and then 874 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:24,880 he we played games Wednesday, then he drugged the game on Friday. Yeah. 875 01:00:23,119 --> 01:00:30,880 » He has been doing a phenomenal job. >> Whenever that guy asks for a raise, 876 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:35,839 » don't deny it. That guy like he's done more in two months than anybody has that 877 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,720 we've had. >> You got here. 878 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:45,359 » Oh my gosh. It's amazing. He does doing such a good 879 01:00:41,359 --> 01:00:50,160 job. So, is there any other like bigger items that you guys have discussed at 880 01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:53,040 your parks and recck meeting that you guys are seeing down the line that you 881 01:00:51,839 --> 01:00:58,079 would like? >> Oh, we we wanted to get something to 882 01:00:55,359 --> 01:01:01,520 replace that slide that they took out. I think you have one in your package 883 01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:03,520 » like yellow slide. >> Yeah. 884 01:01:02,319 --> 01:01:06,160 » Yeah. >> So, Mallerie has this. 885 01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:10,960 » Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. 886 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:17,280 And that is nice, but that is a lot more than the slide that we were facing. 887 01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:20,240 » But you know, I think there's one or two slides up there right now. I know 888 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:23,720 there's one for sure >> on the big 889 01:01:24,559 --> 01:01:28,960 » There's one that's actually like a tree that can be flipped over to be a slide. 890 01:01:28,079 --> 01:01:31,599 So >> probably 891 01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:35,359 close to that. >> I wouldn't just like little kids trying 892 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:38,079 to climb. I get like your >> I don't think it's meant to be climbed 893 01:01:36,799 --> 01:01:40,559 on. >> Is it? I think so. 894 01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:45,040 » I think it is. >> I mean, it has an opening, but I 895 01:01:42,319 --> 01:01:48,400 » I think like maybe I can tell Brian just flip that. So, it's another 896 01:01:46,559 --> 01:01:51,760 » Yeah, >> just something for kids. 897 01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:56,720 » They probably put it like that to make it elongate the lifpan of it. They're 898 01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:59,680 like they're going to need when they built it. They're going to need another 899 01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:05,599 slide because they're not going to do anything up here for 20 years. So do you 900 01:02:01,599 --> 01:02:11,440 think we should get some other thing or what's or should we go with the slide or 901 01:02:08,079 --> 01:02:17,280 » that's our next um item on F. So for our five-year goals, anything to add to 902 01:02:14,319 --> 01:02:21,839 fiscal year 28 and beyond. So not this year. This is already in that in this 903 01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:25,359 year. Anything else to 904 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,200 » is this thing already ordered? >> No. 905 01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:31,760 » No. >> I put it on council's agenda. you guys 906 01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:34,720 wanted to discuss it at this meeting, so that's why it's on here. So, 907 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:38,480 » what do you guys all think of this? >> I'll just 908 01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:42,079 agenda item. >> Um, 909 01:02:40,319 --> 01:02:47,040 I guess for me, I'd say pavilion next year, two years, look at redoing the 910 01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:50,559 basketball fence because it is >> So, they're just doing the court. 911 01:02:48,799 --> 01:02:52,720 They're not doing They're not doing the fence. 912 01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:56,799 » They're doing a two Yeah. two and a half inch overlay of basketball. Okay. 913 01:02:54,559 --> 01:02:59,760 » Two pickle ball courts, one half basketball. 914 01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:05,839 » I don't know. maybe 5 years from now just to spread it out is they doing the 915 01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:10,000 fencing behind home plate that's that's getting pretty damaging. 916 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:14,000 » So like all that fencing there >> um I don't think that would be the 917 01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:16,400 » How's the fence going down first and third? Is that still pretty good? 918 01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:19,920 » That's not bad. >> It's not bad. I'm curious to see what 919 01:03:18,319 --> 01:03:24,799 the like in the infield when he fills it in 920 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:29,039 like the there's that black thing tile there. So yeah, that'll be interesting 921 01:03:26,799 --> 01:03:32,880 to see. But I think something like whether it's along first and third or 922 01:03:31,039 --> 01:03:37,440 just back behind home plate, whatever it may be. But are they uh so they're not 923 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:40,720 put they're not putting the fencing back up there? They took it down, right? They 924 01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:44,799 will. They are. >> They are putting it back up. Okay. 925 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:48,960 » They'll put that back up. But I say >> well I was thinking I mean if we're 926 01:03:46,559 --> 01:03:55,039 hitting my if we want to do keep going with the larger projects and see like 927 01:03:51,359 --> 01:04:03,039 obviously 28 we can do if you're talking the next physical budget uh like when we 928 01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:10,319 do that fence to do some sort of structure on above it like I know like 929 01:04:07,359 --> 01:04:16,559 this this guy has the removable one but a fixed like if you're if you're doing 930 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:20,240 it, you might as well not put just chain link fence up. You know what I mean? 931 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:26,000 Like if we're looking for those larger projects to keep this momentum going, 932 01:04:24,079 --> 01:04:30,720 » you know, like we'll pick >> pick one 933 01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:37,039 » like milestone project per year, right? So pavilion, little little park 934 01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:41,920 pavilion. the next fiscal year we can do fiscal fiscal 935 01:04:38,799 --> 01:04:47,280 » fiscal uh you know yeah we're going to put fencing in up there the smaller 936 01:04:43,599 --> 01:04:52,960 concrete stuff like the budgetary like improvements for like the um like the 937 01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:56,640 baseball diamonds but if like that can get lumped in there but if we're looking 938 01:04:54,480 --> 01:05:00,240 for like a project a year you know what I mean like that's what I was 939 01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:02,720 » I just think every year with concrete we just said this much every year concrete 940 01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:04,480 at the >> ball diamond 941 01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:08,960 till it's done >> and then just pick one larger like 942 01:05:07,599 --> 01:05:13,599 » and that's something you guys can talk about at future meetings and 943 01:05:11,119 --> 01:05:17,599 » but it'd be nice to just you know by winter be able to say here's our 944 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:22,559 fiveyear >> plan so that when people ask us be like 945 01:05:19,839 --> 01:05:26,240 oh behind home plate that's getting done in uh three years. Yeah, 946 01:05:24,559 --> 01:05:29,839 » but that would but that would give us an idea too when we enter into our budget 947 01:05:28,319 --> 01:05:33,680 sessions. >> We can look at what you have for your 948 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:38,319 fiveyear plan >> and we can look at it and say, "Well, we 949 01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:41,760 can budget x amount." We may be able to knock off a little more than what you're 950 01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:44,720 actually looking at. >> Especially if we if we're if we add in 951 01:05:43,359 --> 01:05:48,799 like the fundraising totals and everything else, all of a sudden we get 952 01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:51,920 $20,000 donated. Well, it's not really costing us $20,000. 953 01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:55,680 » That's right. Yeah. Now we could do another piece of playground equipment. 954 01:05:53,839 --> 01:06:00,079 » Exactly. We could use >> if we don't know what that is going into 955 01:05:57,599 --> 01:06:03,119 budget, we usually if we look at what we did previous year and that's what 956 01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:06,960 carries in. >> Is is there any more money that needs to 957 01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:09,680 be put into that concession stand up there? 958 01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:13,440 » I don't think it's it's >> what it is. It's so 959 01:06:11,599 --> 01:06:17,760 » Did the floors get painted? >> No. 960 01:06:15,599 --> 01:06:22,319 And I got a couple of estimates and it was like $2,500 961 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:26,319 » to get it painted like to hire someone to paint it. 962 01:06:23,039 --> 01:06:30,400 » Yeah. But all the salt would be >> solid. Yeah. 963 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:31,920 » Oh, in the in the actual con in the bathrooms. 964 01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:38,079 » In the bathroom. >> I honestly think we just bite the bullet 965 01:06:34,319 --> 01:06:42,799 on that and do it because they smell so bad and you'll never get rid of it 966 01:06:39,839 --> 01:06:47,440 unless you tear it out or seal it up. So like we just have to it's that epoxy 967 01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:52,480 stuff is expensive unless you do it yourself and it's still pricey 968 01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:55,920 » bud just put on next year's budget that's 969 01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:59,599 » must do and that has to be >> because that's the the only way to get 970 01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:04,240 rid of it is to tear the concrete out or you have to seal it off with like a 971 01:07:01,359 --> 01:07:07,440 physical like that epoxy stuff otherwise it's always going to smell. Would it be 972 01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:11,440 reasonable enough to have you guys come up with a list before before the 973 01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:15,039 November meeting so we have at least two months to kind of iron out some of the 974 01:07:13,119 --> 01:07:20,741 stuff before going into budgets? >> We're good at list. Yeah, we'll get 975 01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:23,839 » You're good at this. [laughter] 976 01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:28,160 » Okay. Anything else on the five-year goals? 977 01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:33,200 I'm going to move on to discussion of possible approvals of estimate for 978 01:07:30,559 --> 01:07:38,000 equipment at Castic Park. So, I know you guys had um asked for the 979 01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:42,880 prices on these three slides. Um but then when Patty put the post on Swisser 980 01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:46,240 Strong and I got that list, I kind of made an executive decision and asked for 981 01:07:44,799 --> 01:07:50,799 pricing on a different piece of equipment that was more aligned with 982 01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:56,319 what people were asking for. Um it is more expensive. We do have the money for 983 01:07:53,039 --> 01:08:01,839 it. Um there is money um from the Swiss are open that has been donated um that 984 01:07:59,359 --> 01:08:06,720 we've never used. I mean, it's all in the same general fund, so it's just 985 01:08:03,839 --> 01:08:11,599 sitting there in our general fund. Um, so we would have the funds to purchase 986 01:08:09,599 --> 01:08:16,000 the more expensive. This doesn't include installation or freight. Um, I talked to 987 01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:19,759 Brian to see if he would be comfortable installing it and he said he we would 988 01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:23,520 just need to get with the manufacturer and see what that looked like um to see 989 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:28,560 if he'd be comfortable doing it. So, there may be more cost involved. Um, but 990 01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:32,080 I think it's u definitely doable with our budget this year for parks. We had a 991 01:08:30,719 --> 01:08:37,440 little bit left over from a project we're not doing for roads for local 992 01:08:33,679 --> 01:08:40,640 options sales tax. Um, and we should be able to absorb that. 993 01:08:38,719 --> 01:08:44,239 » This would like give people the monkey bars. 994 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:47,359 » Yeah. If four climbers and a monkey bars through the middle and 995 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:52,239 » they say freestanding like once you put it up, you don't have to do any like 996 01:08:49,679 --> 01:08:57,600 » um post or anything. >> This is Oh 997 01:08:54,319 --> 01:09:00,640 the freestanding slides are on their own that I think they're just because 998 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:05,679 they're not attached to anything else. Um, I will say I asked this play pro to 999 01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:13,359 I took a picture of the structure we have up there and I asked him could we 1000 01:09:09,359 --> 01:09:18,080 add on to this for $12,000 instead instead of putting a separate structure. 1001 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:21,920 Um, because like Cody said, some of the things just take up a lot of space up 1002 01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:25,440 there. Um, he hasn't gotten back to me on that. he wanted to come out and 1003 01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:32,640 actually take a look at it and measure and like see what we could add on. So, 1004 01:09:29,679 --> 01:09:37,520 I mean, we could wait, we could do this. Um, we could do a slide, 1005 01:09:35,759 --> 01:09:41,600 but I just thought with what everyone had asked for, the majority was monkey 1006 01:09:39,679 --> 01:09:44,239 bars that we could bar, >> you know, with no price being put on 1007 01:09:43,440 --> 01:09:50,239 there, you know. >> But you found things. 1008 01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:53,920 » Yeah, there you could put in down. >> Yeah, there's a ton of things. Um, 1009 01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:58,080 » but that's where I just think like you take like a a layout of that park and 1010 01:09:56,159 --> 01:10:02,480 say, "All right, here's where we have. This is where this infinity wing is 1011 01:10:00,719 --> 01:10:07,120 going to go. This is where a future zip line will go. If we replace the swings, 1012 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:13,040 this is where those would go. Maybe tear that stupid tire out." 1013 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:16,800 Just nature moved, I think. >> Um, Dusty did just comment. Um, he must 1014 01:10:15,440 --> 01:10:21,679 be trying to talk, but it's not. I don't know if my volume's down. He said um on 1015 01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:28,560 the five-year goals and plans. So going back one um he said um we should talk 1016 01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:34,159 about how we want to structure the parks and wreck program for longer term 1017 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:37,840 growth. Um do we want to set a goal of developing a parks and w staff? How do 1018 01:10:36,159 --> 01:10:42,159 we want to think about investing in the opportunities and organizing to grow 1019 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:48,800 most effectively? Um obviously a couple years ago um Shelley the previous clerk 1020 01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:53,040 and um had moved Swisser Sports away from the city. I don't know why really 1021 01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:57,199 um other than it's a lot of work financially aid like doing all the admin 1022 01:10:54,719 --> 01:11:01,360 stuff. Um, but 1023 01:10:59,199 --> 01:11:04,800 um, I had talked to Britney about I went to Fairfax and Fairfax has a concession 1024 01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:08,960 stand and I know that it's hard to get volunteers. So, I asked Britney about 1025 01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:12,400 even if we were to hire a high schooler to work in the concession stand whenever 1026 01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:17,199 sports are going on to make it more consistent um, and things like that. 1027 01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:21,040 That's one thing we talked about. I didn't even think to bring that up 1028 01:11:18,239 --> 01:11:23,600 earlier, but um, so yeah, Dusty just commented that. So I don't know if 1029 01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:26,600 anyone wants to make a comment on that while 1030 01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:35,280 » I think in the four five years they're going to have to combine 1031 01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:38,560 Swisser use for is going to have to come back to Swisser 1032 01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:42,719 » just because why should one person volunteer all their time and effort and 1033 01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:48,719 not get paid for it >> when it should be aligned all the other 1034 01:11:45,199 --> 01:11:52,400 towns I believe are through the towns. So, whoever does that should be getting 1035 01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:56,400 paid for it. >> That's where I was going to talk to you 1036 01:11:54,480 --> 01:12:01,440 after this about like what is the long-term lookout of switches sports if 1037 01:11:59,920 --> 01:12:06,239 we do bring it back. >> Maybe that should be a council agenda 1038 01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:10,640 item because we actually have to get brought back to council on that. But 1039 01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:15,199 then for council to figure out what does that paid position or temp position for 1040 01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:20,000 concessions look like, >> right? So I don't know what all the 1041 01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:25,840 duties would be required and I I guess I don't know about your 1042 01:12:21,679 --> 01:12:28,880 longterm I'll send you right again don't think 1043 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:35,440 » I I want it to continue so it's not like you know it it it is a lot yeah but 1044 01:12:32,719 --> 01:12:38,880 » yeah I mean the program has >> so maybe 1045 01:12:36,159 --> 01:12:45,679 » gotten huge since we took over and since we got out of the city and you know when 1046 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:50,960 we took over us three Shelly you just yeah she was very proactive and 1047 01:12:48,239 --> 01:12:55,199 just told us to you know yeah she did was kind of done dealing with with it 1048 01:12:52,719 --> 01:12:58,480 » maybe put that on a paper counsel >> did that go through did that go through 1049 01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:04,640 us at the same >> cuz I don't remember ever discussing 1050 01:13:00,239 --> 01:13:09,199 » no it didn't so like I was very like bus and she had this reason why 1051 01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:12,960 » well and honestly that would be a way for the city to make some money 1052 01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:16,239 » yeah I feel like it's come back to >> yeah it's confusing having it be 1053 01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:21,280 separate. I always get calls about Swisser youth sports um and like 1054 01:13:19,199 --> 01:13:25,600 facilitate things with Britney and and it is fine. I'm happy to help. Um but it 1055 01:13:24,159 --> 01:13:28,480 is confusing for people donating money like is it going to the city? Is it 1056 01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:32,560 going to switcher sports? Are they the same like with the banners? Are those 1057 01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:36,560 from the city? Are they you know >> well that just a way for the city to 1058 01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:41,679 make money. Yeah. Then we have money to push to some of this stuff. When you say 1059 01:13:38,719 --> 01:13:45,719 you want to get this on agenda coming up, how soon you thinking 1060 01:13:46,719 --> 01:13:52,880 » like is it something that you'd like to be in place for next spring season or 1061 01:13:52,159 --> 01:13:55,840 fall season? >> Probably like next fall. 1062 01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:58,320 » Yeah. Which would actually >> like to talk about it or have it 1063 01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:04,560 » you're not talking >> have a decision talking 1064 01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:08,400 » 2027 2028ish. which football probably be the best because 1065 01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:13,920 » it wouldn't affect our current budget as long as you sports state you sports. 1066 01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:21,040 » I won't I won't say we won't. >> Yes, but I'm saying if by fall of 27 1067 01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:25,199 that would actually be budget we could actually budget if 1068 01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:29,760 » which in the first of the year we could look at. Yes, we're going to look at 1069 01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:34,960 holding in the budget >> for for a position. I would have a 1070 01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:40,400 conversation sooner because we're going to have our budget discussions, but we 1071 01:14:37,440 --> 01:14:44,719 give parks and public works and all of that their budgets to look at and talk 1072 01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:50,159 about. I give those in like October, November, and then we plan in December, 1073 01:14:48,239 --> 01:14:53,920 we schedule in January for our budget sessions. So I feel like starting that 1074 01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:59,679 conversation early with Britney what your goals are, what your plan is, time 1075 01:14:55,760 --> 01:15:03,920 frame, finances kind of thing like >> I think starting it the earlier the 1076 01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:10,000 better. >> So like the budget part of it is not 1077 01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:14,159 » but the budget could also >> but it also could 1078 01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:16,880 » it could pay part-time position for someone to that. 1079 01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:20,159 » Yeah. Correct. >> Yeah. And that's where I look at it is 1080 01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:25,760 if those youth programs could at minimum 1081 01:15:23,199 --> 01:15:28,239 maintain a part-time position. That's fine. 1082 01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:32,320 » Doesn't have to make a ton of money for the parks. It just has to be 1083 01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:36,560 » Yeah, we're trying to make money with it. We're just trying to maintain it. It 1084 01:15:35,440 --> 01:15:40,560 is what it is. >> For the kids, you know, I think it's a 1085 01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:44,239 great thing. That's what it means. I mean 1086 01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:47,760 » cuz the enrollment costs is around $40 or 35ish but that's just the cost of the 1087 01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:52,957 jerseys >> and that's what we pay Ironside and you 1088 01:15:50,159 --> 01:15:56,000 know the money that [laughter] 1089 01:15:54,080 --> 01:16:01,840 » the money that that we get is for the sponsors you know it's Yeah. We ever 1090 01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:04,320 thought about maybe not going such high-end 1091 01:16:03,440 --> 01:16:07,199 on having >> no like how about 1092 01:16:05,440 --> 01:16:13,520 » jerseys t-shirts? We have put out numerous 1093 01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:17,280 emails and the parents love the jerseys. >> I will say I did vote for the jerseys 1094 01:16:15,440 --> 01:16:22,080 because they love them. They have their name on them. 1095 01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:25,280 » Love them. All the kids love them. >> Yes. 1096 01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:29,760 » I don't have I don't know. the second September meeting be like enough time 1097 01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:32,080 for you to >> second September 1098 01:16:30,719 --> 01:16:34,400 » just to like have a conversation >> the second meeting September like the 1099 01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:36,880 end of September. >> Yeah. It's 1100 01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:41,600 » just like start that conversation and then we could council could work on that 1101 01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:45,520 on our end and we could figure out a decision by 1102 01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:48,960 » the 28th September 28th. End of September. 1103 01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:54,000 » Yeah. How does Elely have their own their 1104 01:16:51,600 --> 01:17:00,080 during this city? Every town, Fairfax, um it's all 1105 01:16:58,480 --> 01:17:03,360 » Yes, >> Fairfax also has 1106 01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:05,440 » eventually that's what's going to happen. 1107 01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:07,120 » So, you might we might as well get a little ahead of the game here. 1108 01:17:06,719 --> 01:17:10,320 » Oh, yeah. >> And with the town the size of Swisser, 1109 01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:14,960 you might be able we might be able always have just a part-time person 1110 01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:17,520 handle it, you know. But I will say that there's 1111 01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:22,080 » a lot of people coming from a lot of towns because sports has run and it's 1112 01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:25,120 just great. >> Yeah. Which is phenomenal. 1113 01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:29,360 » My grandkids are from Neely. They came to play in the sports thing 1114 01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:32,480 » and once registration closes, I mean, we get a whole handful of 1115 01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:35,840 » Yeah. >> Yeah. It's all good. 1116 01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:39,840 » Yeah. Which is great. It's It's really cost-effective and which is nice because 1117 01:17:38,159 --> 01:17:44,719 I've put it out on like foster care pages and stuff because foster parents 1118 01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:48,800 generally can't pay $400 for a kid to be on a club team, but they can pay $40 for 1119 01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:51,040 this league. So, I'm always putting it out there. 1120 01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:55,520 » I want it to be and I want it to always stay that. I don't want to have 1121 01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:59,679 » Right. This is more like league. It's not competitive town, you know, league 1122 01:17:57,920 --> 01:18:03,120 ball and stuff. don't want it to go. I mean, there's times that we did play 1123 01:18:01,440 --> 01:18:07,360 summer ball with Elely, >> but it's not I want it to be here in I 1124 01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:11,280 don't want to be a club sports. Like, that's not what it is all about. It's to 1125 01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:14,800 get everybody here. We can create our own teams and have it. Yeah. But that's 1126 01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:19,040 something else that we can discuss later. So, 1127 01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:26,480 » okay, let's get back here to the approval of 1128 01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:28,880 » of an estimate for equipment to cast. That's amazing. And that's what this is 1129 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:32,400 right here. >> Yes, that's the structure. It's the the 1130 01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:34,640 very bottom line. >> Yeah. 1131 01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:38,400 » Um the other three are just slides. It has a total, but the total is kind of 1132 01:18:36,159 --> 01:18:41,679 irrelevant. Like we would not buy all of those. 1133 01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:45,600 » Um >> what's 1134 01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:49,440 what's the 29 for? >> That's what they're relevant. Yeah, they 1135 01:18:48,159 --> 01:18:53,440 just did that because they sent me an estimate instead of sending me 1136 01:18:51,120 --> 01:19:01,280 » four different ones. So, we we budgeted 5,000 1137 01:18:56,400 --> 01:19:07,280 um and we have money on our um in our cash general fund for parks um sitting 1138 01:19:04,159 --> 01:19:13,199 there.

Um, that 1176 01:21:41,440 --> 01:21:46,719 way you guys can see what the total price would be, 1177 01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:50,880 » which is >> from Play Pro. 1178 01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:55,880 » I know, but where are they located? >> We got that trailer.

Maybe we should table that so we can make a better decision. 1182 01:22:10,480 --> 01:22:16,320 And maybe >> we need a map of exactly what's up there 1183 01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:20,639 and then decide what we're going to put where. 1184 01:22:17,199 --> 01:22:22,080 » Like they said that fireball thing, the >> water ball. 1185 01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:25,920 » Yeah, >> fireball.

Could you reach out 1188 01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:38,400 and find get an idea of what bring in the 1189 01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:42,480 » I don't know. I can also we by then I could also probably have back an 1190 01:22:40,159 --> 01:22:47,280 extension of what we have up there too. So we could potentially not do this at 1191 01:22:44,639 --> 01:22:51,120 all if he can add on to the structure that's there. 1192 01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:55,840 » I would also say to look at swing sets that might not be so big. 1193 01:22:53,199 --> 01:23:00,800 » So big in terms of space like there's only 1194 01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:04,239 five three regular and two baby swings in. 1195 01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:07,280 » Yep. their life.

We can >> I have that information right now if you 1200 01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:25,600 want me to grab it.

I mean, at 1214 01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:19,520 least they had they have a way saying what we're doing. That's all 1215 01:24:19,199 --> 01:24:20,480 better. >> Yeah. 1216 01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:24,719 » Yeah. >> Yeah. I give like you said pick three 1217 01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:27,360 » three three structures that are like the same size. 1218 01:24:25,440 --> 01:24:31,760 » Another one that you showed me at Patty. >> Yeah, the dis the spaceship one.

It's just a matter of time till some 1230 01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:26,960 kid's going to be playing in that and the branch is gonna There wasn't even a 1231 01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:32,159 storm the other day and that there was a branch that just fell off the that tree. 1232 01:25:30,480 --> 01:25:35,360 » I did see that people like those little digger things which 1233 01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:39,440 » kind of go with the box thing.

I mean, we have the space to do a sandbox, too. That it doesn't take 1236 01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:51,199 much to do a sandbox. >> Can we move the tire and just make it 1237 01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:56,800 all on its own with a sandbox? >> Yeah. 1238 01:25:53,280 --> 01:26:02,320 » That's first part. >> Actually, on top of the water thing, 1239 01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:05,600 » what what's it called?
