A motion to approve those minutes.

00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,400

>> Any comments?

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,400
All in favor?

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,520
>> I any opposed?

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,760
Abstaining. Right.

13
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:36,800
>> Were you here, Lauren?

14
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,120
>> Yeah.

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:44,000
>> I don't remember. Um, public comments.

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,680
Yeah.

17
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,160
>> I can't start.

18
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:51,039
>> That's the order of the stuff.

19
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:53,920
>> I'm sorry. I'm I'm here to kind of see

20
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:54,640
how it works.

21
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,985
>> How is Joe?

22
00:00:56,985 --> 00:00:57,600
[laughter]

23
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,399
Okay,

24
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:00,239
>> wonderful. Is it in town?

25
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:00,719
>> Yes.

26
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:02,480
>> Perfect. Well, welcome. We're excited

27
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,080
you're here. Thank you for coming.

28
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,280
>> Thank you.

29
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,920
>> All right. Old business then. Um, number

30
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,720
one, the children's library update. Has

31
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,640
anyone on Spark received correspondence

32
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,320
related to the purchase or help needed

33
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,320
with this project? Hasn't received

34
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:16,799
anything?

35
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:19,840
>> So, Gab reached out to me. It just came

36
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,159
in on Monday. Um, they're waiting to

37
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:26,880
wants to get a plaque that says was that

38
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,320
she donated the um the little library

39
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:32,720
and she bought one. She really liked

40
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,040
Billy's idea of having a little one so

41
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,280
that the kids could reach it. So, she

42
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,040
found one where there's a big one and

43
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,040
then a little one so kids can just open

44
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,799
the door and get in the little one.

45
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:43,280
>> That's cool.

46
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,439
>> Um so, she's waiting for the

47
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:49,520
>> um the little plaque where she can say

48
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,600
that she donated it and then she was

49
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,799
hoping that the town could provide the

50
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:57,439
post and the hole.

51
00:01:57,439 --> 00:01:59,920
>> But she'll get back to me once the flat

52
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,840
comes in and then we can move forward

53
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,360
from there.

54
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,640
>> Any questions?

55
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,399
>> No. And and we already told her, "Yeah,

56
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:08,560
we'll take care of the post and

57
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,440
everything." So,

58
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,959
>> how much um time does public works need

59
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:14,800
to be there because I know summer is

60
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,239
busy to grow the grass?

61
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:19,440
>> Not we're out of the spring hump now

62
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,440
where the grass is growing every two

63
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,480
days. So, um they should be able to work

64
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,400
around for anything.

65
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,480
>> Perfect. I'll reach back out to Gavin

66
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,840
Crystal and say let me know and then um

67
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,360
we can let public force to do the whole

68
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,390
do it.

69
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:42,800
» Cool.

70
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:43,760
>> That's all.

71
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,000
>> Okay. Uh the natural bulletin board

72
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,040
update. Uh we got limbs from evergreen

73
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,720
and cherry trees that have been set

74
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,800
aside after a cleanup project in Jones

75
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,400
Park. and further discussion as needed.

76
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,239
But Billy's not here, so I suppose none

77
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:02,560
of us have anything else to say about

78
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,840
that one.

79
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,800
>> Um,

80
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,959
>> yeah, we we can table it until the next

81
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:08,159
meeting, I guess.

82
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:11,120
>> Yeah. So, Billy, if you're watching,

83
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,519
your wood is here.

84
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:16,400
>> Is there Drew? Is it stored in a way

85
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,120
where it's not an issue to to leave it

86
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,360
for a little bit while longer or

87
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,280
>> um I'll double check on it right now.

88
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,239
Jones Park.

89
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:25,040
>> Okay.

90
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,560
>> Where it was cut down from.

91
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,292
>> Okay.

92
00:03:28,292 --> 00:03:30,080
[clears throat]

93
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,200
>> Uh the Freedom Ring Parade float update.

94
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,280
Um

95
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,959
I guess that's

96
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:38,799
>> ask the new flocon concept if anything.

97
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:42,000
Oh. Uh okay. So we tore down the old

98
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,519
float um into little pieces. We recycled

99
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:48,400
some of the wood to make signs and a

100
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,920
bench.

101
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,879
And the other scraps were picked up by

102
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:54,799
public works. Is that correct? Or going

103
00:03:54,799 --> 00:03:55,599
to be.

104
00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:59,519
>> Um, we tried to make not that big of a

105
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:03,360
mess, but we made a little mess. Um,

106
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,400
Eric wasn't there

107
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,280
>> for the public record.

108
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,040
>> Um,

109
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,040
Amy, how's the signs coming?

110
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,879
>> Um, they're coming along well.

111
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:16,880
>> Cool. I'm going to do a second coat on

112
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,840
the white so that you can really see it

113
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:21,040
so it stands out.

114
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,160
>> Um, it's going well. I did want to ask,

115
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,800
are we doing like a spark sign?

116
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,560
>> That's what I see. The big sign.

117
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,759
>> Okay. That's what I wanted to double

118
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:30,800
check before I did that one.

119
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,240
>> Yeah, that's the spark.

120
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,880
>> So, will that just be on maybe the back

121
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,160
end or

122
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,400
>> is it only go on one side?

123
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,520
>> The back might be nice.

124
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:39,840
>> Yeah,

125
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:41,600
>> we can worry about all that stuff. Okay.

126
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,400
>> Later. We'll have

127
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,680
a little putting together piecing

128
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,520
session. Is that fine?

129
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,000
>> I'm excited to see it.

130
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,080
>> Um,

131
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,520
what else was I going to say? The only

132
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,759
thing we need now is the trailer. We

133
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:00,160
want to use the one with the rails so we

134
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,440
can hang stuff on it. Um, we need at

135
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,000
least a day. I think we can do a lot of

136
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,080
the fine

137
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,800
detail stuff the day of the parade, but

138
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,600
it would be nice to get in and see the

139
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,919
trailer Thursday or Friday beforehand,

140
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:22,639
>> put it all together. Um,

141
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:24,560
>> yeah, the thing we need to worry about

142
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,960
now is how to

143
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,880
properly secure everything to the

144
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,960
trailer, whether it be with zip ties or

145
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,680
something stronger. Um,

146
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,360
did respond to your email today.

147
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,800
>> Yeah. That we can screw into it as much

148
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,520
as we want. That that will be helpful.

149
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,759
Um cuz we probably we we want to keep

150
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:44,400
the flags that we had at the front last

151
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,080
year just because we have so much space

152
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,759
on the trailer that the flags will be a

153
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:51,120
nice um way to take up the space because

154
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,600
our turf only covers 6' by 8. That was

155
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,199
the only size that we could get that

156
00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:59,039
would fit. So, we have a lot of

157
00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:01,039
additional space.

158
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:03,440
Um yeah, that's it.

159
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,240
We just need straps or something.

160
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,479
>> Do you guys want me to ask Ian or Jeremy

161
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:10,479
or one of our public works guys to drive

162
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:11,680
again this year?

163
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,520
>> Yeah.

164
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,479
>> And then what kind of candy do we want

165
00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:18,880
to get that we can pass out that's not

166
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,800
going to melt? Are you guys still the

167
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,560
popsicles again? Cuz that was

168
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,000
>> impossible.

169
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,639
>> Why?

170
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:26,240
>> They're It's impossible to keep them

171
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,440
cold.

172
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,280
>> We never by the end we're only giving

173
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:30,560
out liquid

174
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,720
>> no matter what we do. So Now they're

175
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,240
projecting. It's supposed to be like 100

176
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,960
>> neck. [laughter]

177
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,680
Six neck things. Write that down.

178
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,120
>> Um

179
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,440
>> I don't know.

180
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,440
>> If you do purchase, I'm guessing you're

181
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,120
talking about the life guard things.

182
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,080
>> Yeah.

183
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,280
>> Uh [snorts]

184
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:56,319
we'll reimburse you for that. Wearing

185
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:00,319
something that represents the town. So,

out to kind of coordinate timing.

228
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,440
>> Great. And public works can just have

229
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,160
the trailer in that

230
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,000

244
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,880

>> Okay. Should we just keep the key then?

248
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:28,720
Is that fine?

I've seen I've seen pictures.

» Yeah, public works doesn't have the the

270
00:10:58,079 --> 00:10:59,839
number that you need, then I'll I'll

>> I think we should wear our scarf shirts.

276
00:11:19,839 --> 00:11:25,910
Yes. Well,

277
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,560

creating the sign.

283
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,800
» This is something we talked about last

284
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,800

285
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:51,910

position before she is gone by the end

291
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,760
of next month.

292
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,509
>> Okay.

293
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:09,600
» Shall we table it for the future?

294
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,760
>> Yeah.

295
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,360
>> Um, vacant seat open on commission.

296
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,959
Spark currently has one vacant

00:12:16,959 --> 00:12:19,279

302

Recommendations of community members who

303
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:32,560
may be interested in serving. Anyone who

304
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:34,320
is interested in joining SMARK should

305
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,790
email sparks at sitesville.net.

306
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,200
There's our little advertisement.

307
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,760
>> On to new business.

308
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,519
>> Has a question actually on that. Okay.

309
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:48,560
>> Any of you have recommendations

310
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:49,680
>> for specific people?

311
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:51,839
>> Yes.

312
00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:52,800
>> Kyle

313
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,440
>> and he has not answered um direct

314
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,440
message or email. So I don't think he's

315
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,120
>> unless one of you want to reach out to

316
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,560
him, but then again [snorts] that's kind

317
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:04,399
of like

318
00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:04,800
>> Yeah,

319
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,639
>> I was thinking maybe we could make a

320
00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:08,720
note to at the next movie night like

321
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,880
announce it prior

322
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,040
>> just to get the word out. I know a lot

323
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,200
of people watch the news. And then

324
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,279
something I forgot to have added to this

325
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:20,720
was farmers market. Um so I talked with

326
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,880
Sarah who manages the farmers market. Um

327
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,959
there's not space for Spark to have like

328
00:13:26,959 --> 00:13:28,800
a formal tent.

329
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,040
>> Um but there is space to have a table in

330
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,240
the shade. So if there's availability

331
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,160
for commissioners

332
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,800
on Saturdays between now and October, we

333
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,720
can also

334
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,720
Yep. Sorry. I did the same thing in

335
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,760
email on Sundays. Um, between now and

336
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,279
October, we could maybe make an

337
00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:51,360
appearance there a couple times and kind

338
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,639
of get the word out to people that we

339
00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:58,240
fill a seat

340
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,360
and in the future. So,

341
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,839
>> I like those ideas.

342
00:14:03,839 --> 00:14:06,160
>> Um, so I don't know if anybody has

343
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,800
availability for July. I told Sarah I

344
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,959
will let her know.

345
00:14:10,959 --> 00:14:13,360
Um

346
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,600
July is a little tough for me. I I would

347
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,920
be able to do August. Um August,

348
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,800
September, October.

349
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,839
Um but if anybody has availability and

350
00:14:23,839 --> 00:14:25,920
an interest in doing farmers market in

351
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,800
July, Sarah said she could work with us

352
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,160
on setting up.

353
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,910
>> I can do can do July probably.

354
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,600
Are we just going to do one time a month

355
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:40,959
like we did last year?

356
00:14:40,959 --> 00:14:41,920
>> Is that what we did?

357
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,240
>> Yeah,

358
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,120
>> that's what we did last year. I I feel

359
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,880
like it was a good balance. Um,

360
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,199
somebody's really eager to do it more

361
00:14:51,199 --> 00:14:53,519
than that. I don't think it hurts. But

362
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:55,760
at the same time, most of our events I

363
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,279
feel like are any in the summer. That's

364
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:03,360
why it's hard. It's a lot.

365
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,279
Nick, I know this is back to back, but

366
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:07,279
do you want I can do the 12th if you

367
00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:08,720
want to do the 12th, but that's right

368
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,959
after the movie on the 11th.

369
00:15:10,959 --> 00:15:11,920
>> That's fine.

370
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,519
>> Okay.

371
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:16,560
>> I can email Sarah and copy both of you

372
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,920
guys.

373
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,160
>> July 12th.

374
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,920
>> Is that what you said? July 12th.

375
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:28,150
>> Yes. If that works for you.

376
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,160
» So, Drew, could you bring

377
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,800
the tablecloth and a box and a flyer so

378
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,560
that we can put them on the table to the

379
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,920
movie on the 11th.

380
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,560
>> Yeah, I bring it to every every movie.

381
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:43,040
So,

382
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,560
>> okay, great. And then I'll just keep it

383
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,480
in my car and then bring it back to you

384
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,120
when we're

385
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,000
>> Okay, thank you.

386
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,639
>> Yeah, you're welcome.

387
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:54,720
>> Nick, is it okay with you if we roll up

388
00:15:54,720 --> 00:16:00,629
at 9 when it starts?

389
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:04,949
» Yeah, especially because there will be a

390
00:16:04,959 --> 00:16:07,759
Yeah.

391
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:09,440
>> And it'll be right in the area of the

392
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:16,606
fountain, she said.

393
00:16:16,616 --> 00:16:19,110
[laughter]

394
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,201
» Nick will never be at the table.

395
00:16:21,201 --> 00:16:22,160
[laughter]

396
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,199
>> Here we go.

397
00:16:23,199 --> 00:16:25,199
>> Um, if it pleases the commission before

398
00:16:25,199 --> 00:16:27,040
we move or you guys move on to the new

399
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,120
business as it were, um, would you like

400
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,759
me to go over the budget or is it

401
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:34,000
speaking for itself.

402
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,880
Are there any questions?

403
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,560
>> You can go over I wouldn't mind me going

404
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,120
over it.

405
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,680
>> Okay. So, pretty much what you're seeing

406
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,920
is the uh one page um for uh parks under

407
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,320
the line 570.

408
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,600
>> Um so that is Spark and Parks and

409
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,320
Recreation. Um [snorts] the maintenance

410
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,800
and all of that side of things is kept

411
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,839
in another line um that almost

412
00:16:59,839 --> 00:17:02,880
exclusively is used by uh either me for

413
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,480
maintenance work or public works when

414
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,199
they're need to do a swing new chains

415
00:17:07,199 --> 00:17:10,480
and stuff like that. Um so you can see

416
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,640
the percentage of the budget we've used

417
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,559
uh a lot out of advertising which is

418
00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:17,600
great. Um concert bands that's a line

419
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,439
right now. I'm not

420
00:17:21,439 --> 00:17:25,600
uh a line next year as we go forward. Um

421
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,319
I I think that Joe has taken it out. Uh

422
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:31,919
but I I haven't seen it. Uh then we've

423
00:17:31,919 --> 00:17:34,559
got uh the miscellaneous holiday events.

424
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:38,559
Uh that mainly is Christmas stuff, but

425
00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:42,559
we also had the out uh the added um

426
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:47,440
charge of around $700 for uh the uh

427
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,520
lighting of the Manora. [clears throat]

428
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,320
and that was to help out with food and

429
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,440
their budget there. Then concessions, um

430
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,919
that speaks for itself. Movies in the

431
00:17:57,919 --> 00:18:01,760
park, uh that is just for the purchase

432
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,760
of the rights to play the movies. It

433
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,200
doesn't include um any of the crafts or

434
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,280
anything like that. Uh pre-event

435
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,840
activities. Um we've got uh we we went

436
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,400
over this here, but uh I I think that

437
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,440
that's going to be added on to

438
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,919
mainly because we're getting more active

439
00:18:21,919 --> 00:18:25,039
into what we want to do. And then uh the

440
00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:28,000
last thing we have is under volunteer

441
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,400
supplies. Um which as you can see we've

442
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,720
gone through a lot of that too. So

443
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,240
>> is that like gloves and

444
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:38,960
>> products?

445
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,960
>> No, that's all going to be under public

446
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:47,258
works the public works side of parks and

447
00:18:47,268 --> 00:18:47,840
[clears throat]

448
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,160
>> so like for instance if Lauren Merrill

449
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,480
needed to uh purchase something and

450
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,720
wanted to be reimbursed for it, that's

451
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,520
what that line item would be.

452
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,039
or like if we decided on our own craft

453
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:07,510
that would be another

454
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,720
» um this is always available if you go to

455
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,919
uh the town's website and go to um one

456
00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:18,880
of the meetings uh uh that they've been

457
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,520
on the agenda for that meeting if it has

458
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,840
treasures report there's a URL code that

459
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,640
will take you directly to this Cool.

460
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,840
>> When people or when we get uh sponsors

461
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,080
for movies, where does that does that

462
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,600
just go overall?

463
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,840
>> I think that's

464
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,640
Yeah.

465
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:39,840
>> And if it [snorts] worked against like

466
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:40,960
the

467
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,280
>> $2,500 movie budget or whatever,

468
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,720
>> right? Yeah. in whatever way

469
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,080
treasurer have it figured out is it goes

470
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,919
into the same pot as say donations for

471
00:19:53,919 --> 00:19:56,720
um the gate house and then it's all

472
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,120
reallocated in each different fiscal

473
00:19:59,120 --> 00:19:59,840
year

474
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,320
>> and that's just how they've worked it

475
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,840
>> makes sense just curious

476
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:12,230
>> I don't know about

477
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,350
Cool.

478
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:21,039
» First time I've ever seen a number

479
00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:23,520
>> in six years.

480
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,590
So, it's cool to know.

481
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,520
» And the sponsors that we did get this

482
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,080
year that did cover the license of all

483
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,240
the movies. So, we were even with that.

484
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:34,960
>> Yeah.

485
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:35,440
>> Great.

486
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,600
>> Maybe a little bit over even. So,

487
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:44,549
>> a little better. Okay. Good.

488
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:46,799
So, all of our sponsors covered the

489
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:48,799
money for our movie licenses.

490
00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:50,080
>> What do we spend? $2,000.

491
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,919
>> So, that's still the expense, but

492
00:20:51,919 --> 00:20:53,760
>> there's they they record the income

493
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,200
somewhere. That's just Okay.

494
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:57,600
>> Mhm.

495
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,080
>> Again, I can bring that next meeting too

496
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,760
if you guys want to go over revenue as

497
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,280
well.

498
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:09,110
>> Cool. Cool. Cool.

499
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:12,149
Okay.

500
00:21:12,159 --> 00:21:13,039
Shall we?

501
00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:13,760
>> Mhm.

502
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,840
>> How about the recap? How'd it go?

503
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,120
>> I thought it was great.

504
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:23,760
>> Auxiliary police counted 70 attendants.

505
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,159
>> 70. That's really really good for our

506
00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:27,200
first

507
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,600
>> Yeah. June movie is the hardest one.

508
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,200
>> It was

509
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,640
>> What else was happening? There was like

510
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:33,840
a school function.

511
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:34,559
>> The carnival.

512
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:36,240
>> Carnival. Carnival.

513
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,559
>> Music night. There was the carnival. It

514
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:39,039
was the last

515
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:42,000
>> It was the last night of carnival.

516
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,679
>> Yeah, we heard them at the

517
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:45,280
>> at the end of the movie.

518
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,240
>> So 70 was gold mine then for us if we

519
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,720
were competing against all of that.

520
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,039
>> I don't know when the auxiliary counted

521
00:21:55,039 --> 00:21:57,039
>> 15

522
00:21:57,039 --> 00:21:58,240
seriously

523
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,039
>> I thought it was more

524
00:22:01,039 --> 00:22:04,960
>> honestly I didn't skimp or anything.

525
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,360
>> Yeah,

526
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:07,840
>> just make it 200. That's pastor's

527
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,149
numbers.

528
00:22:12,159 --> 00:22:13,760
» Yeah, I thought it was more than 70,

529
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:14,080
too.

530
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,120
>> You got 170?

531
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:16,720
>> No, no, I thought it was more than 70.

532
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,360
>> Okay.

533
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:19,840
>> But I didn't count. It felt like more

534
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:20,799
than 70.

535
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:22,559
>> I mean, I also counted the kids that

536
00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:24,799
were on the swings playground and

537
00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:26,159
watching from there. So,

538
00:22:26,159 --> 00:22:28,159
>> I think that counts.

539
00:22:28,159 --> 00:22:30,000
>> They were there.

540
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,480
>> Um, do you know I'm curious if you know

541
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,799
how much money you made from the QR code

542
00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:35,919
for this time?

543
00:22:35,919 --> 00:22:38,880
>> Yes. uh $37.66.

544
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,360
>> Okay. Yeah.

545
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:44,159
>> Most of which uh was from our very own

546
00:22:44,159 --> 00:22:45,690
Eric.

547
00:22:45,690 --> 00:22:46,640
[laughter]

548
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,679
>> It's my kids. They're

549
00:22:49,679 --> 00:22:51,200
I need I need to tell them to chill with

550
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,559
ice cream and pop.

551
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:58,240
>> How did the um

552
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,440
>> what was their name? The um the pine rum

553
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:02,559
>> basil. Basil.

554
00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:05,120
>> He said that it was phenomenal.

555
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:07,919
He said lots of kids work excited. He

556
00:23:07,919 --> 00:23:11,039
said he did a um I thought he was great.

557
00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:14,720
He did a little um walk around of the

558
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,120
park first to find bugs so that he knew

559
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:18,960
it would be good for the kids to go and

560
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,640
he brought little boxes for the kids. Um

561
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,039
he said they were very excited and found

562
00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:26,720
lots of things and he taught them lots

563
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,480
of things and then I was watching some

564
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,240
of the kids just run around and catch

565
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,559
the bugs on the side of the snack shack.

566
00:23:32,559 --> 00:23:34,799
So I think they have a brilliant time.

567
00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:35,200
>> Cool.

568
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,200
>> Do we know has the donation check been

569
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,480
sent to Pin?

570
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:39,360
>> Not yet.

571
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:45,941
>> Okay. [snorts]

572
00:23:45,951 --> 00:23:47,200
[clears throat]

573
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,600
Um the popcorn machine cleaning it after

574
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,240
the movie was very very very very

575
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,720
difficult. The drawer underneath that

576
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,600
holds the kernels couldn't come out.

577
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,960
>> It was jammed. It was bent underneath.

578
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,360
So I reached out to Billy and he and I

579
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:08,320
met at the snack shack the Tuesday after

580
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,919
the movie and we jerry rigged it. I

581
00:24:11,919 --> 00:24:14,000
didn't know that the popcorn machine was

582
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,960
not bolted to the cart

583
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,559
because Billy said, "How are we going to

584
00:24:18,559 --> 00:24:20,880
get this off?" And Billy lifted and he's

585
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,880
like, "It's not connected to the" and I

586
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,960
could see the hole falling off of the

587
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,120
cart again. So um that made me very very

588
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:31,679
nervous. But It's not an easy machine to

589
00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:32,559
clean

590
00:24:32,559 --> 00:24:33,840
>> at all.

591
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,080
>> And I never want to unplug that thing in

592
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,760
the roof because I couldn't get it back

593
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:43,200
in at all. It's very difficult how to connect it in. But it selfcleans

594
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,039
once you put the water and the chemicals

595
00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:47,200
in it and then you just have to wipe it

596
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,679
out. But um

597
00:24:49,679 --> 00:24:51,679
>> we were able to fix the drawer and that

598
00:24:51,679 --> 00:24:54,720
all came out and it's clean. Do we need

599
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,520
to still put the

600
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,919
packets inside?

601
00:24:59,919 --> 00:25:01,840
packets. Um,

602
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,360
>> the Russian packets.

603
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:05,840
>> Oh, I think that would be

604
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,120
good. Probably.

605
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:08,400
>> Okay. [snorts] Because I did not put

606
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:08,960
them in there,

607
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,960
>> but they

608
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,880
I know the pot is what? Like Teflon or

609
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,559
nonstick something?

610
00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:17,279
>> I think so.

611
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:21,200
>> Right. Um, is the What's the top the

612
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,880
inside top of the machine? That's the

613
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,559
part that

614
00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:25,760
>> What is that made out of?

615
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:26,159
>> No.

616
00:25:26,159 --> 00:25:27,919
>> You know, do you know?

617
00:25:27,919 --> 00:25:30,080
>> Yes. off the top.

618
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,760
>> I mean, it couldn't hurt to put that

619
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,440
stuff in there, especially as it gets

620
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,200
more humid.

621
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,159
>> Um,

622
00:25:36,159 --> 00:25:37,679
>> Lauren and I will be there.

623
00:25:37,679 --> 00:25:38,799
>> Get too dry.

624
00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:40,159
>> Lauren and I will be there the week

625
00:25:40,159 --> 00:25:42,480
before the movie restocking it. I did

626
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,440
inventory last week on the day of the

627
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,720
school.

628
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,520
>> And um and so I'll throw them in there

629
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,950
real quick.

630
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,600
» We have a lot of ice cream.

631
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,400
>> Yes. So, we should not need to buy I

632
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,640
think that it's a lie to me. I don't

633
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,000
think we should be at all,

634
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,840
>> but I don't know. I I might be wrong.

635
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,600
>> I feel like it was hard to gauge it last

636
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,000
movie. There was a lot a lot of people

637
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,520
and then by the time I ran down and

638
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,480
bought it, then after that, nobody,

639
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,430
of course.

640
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,600
So, I don't know what everyone's

641
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,279
feelings are. I feel like it's kind of

642
00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:27,679
nicer to have the smaller various

643
00:26:27,679 --> 00:26:28,400
flavors.

644
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:28,880
>> Agreed.

645
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:35,110
>> Versus like one giant like one flavor.

646
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:36,960
» So, we have enough for July for sure.

647
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,720
>> I think so. And if not, I mean,

648
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,120
Firehouse is like it's 5 minutes down

649
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:42,400
the street.

650
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,240
>> They have them in stock.

651
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,200
>> Yeah.

652
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,720
>> I don't know. I did the math. It's not

653
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,120
that much cheaper to buy it in a giant

654
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:52,080
one than it is to buy the smaller ones.

655
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,679
>> Um,

656
00:26:53,679 --> 00:26:56,480
so worst case, you know, if we run out

657
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,279
Someone could just buy more again.

658
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:02,453
>> Can I Can I call Alex or do you have to?

659
00:27:02,453 --> 00:27:03,360
[laughter]

660
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:05,200
>> Do you also think it's possible that

661
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,200
there was more ice cream purchase than

662
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:12,390
normal because of the ice cream truck?

663
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,559
» It got into all the kids minds. That was

664
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:16,240
more ice cream than we've ever sold. I

665
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,360
think

666
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:19,120
>> it was a lot of ice cream. Yeah, there

667
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:20,640
were people coming up and ordering like

668
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,559
five or six

669
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:23,919
>> time. Well, it didn't sound like

670
00:27:23,919 --> 00:27:27,200
>> play the music like at a certain point.

671
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,799
>> Okay.

672
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:31,520
Um, but I mean maybe with having the QR

673
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,039
code, people could buy it more, but

674
00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:34,159
didn't sound like it was like that much

675
00:27:34,159 --> 00:27:36,240
we got in the QR code either. So

676
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,919
>> that's also brand new now. So maybe

677
00:27:37,919 --> 00:27:40,159
>> Yeah. So I think people Yeah.

678
00:27:40,159 --> 00:27:42,559
>> Unfort you add now it's you can actually

679
00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:43,600
buy whatever you want,

680
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,640
>> right?

681
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,919
So maybe next movie we with with our

682
00:27:47,919 --> 00:27:52,240
announcements right before the movie, we let people know that you can use QR

683
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,679
codes. There's ice cream. Like you can

684
00:27:53,679 --> 00:27:54,880
just tell people there's ice cream,

685
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,474
kids, tell your parents. I don't know.

686
00:27:57,474 --> 00:28:00,080
[laughter] We can do that. But

687
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,320
>> I would get another two things of the

688
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,960
selfare because there's only half of one

689
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,240
left.

690
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:21,029
>> That's

691
00:28:21,039 --> 00:28:23,760
I can take care of that.

692
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,039
>> But I thought it went well and I think

693
00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:26,799
we started the movie as early as we

694
00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:28,799
could have where you could see it enough

695
00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:30,799
but it wasn't so late where we were

696
00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:31,919
there forever.

697
00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:34,559
>> So in the past we've started at like 9.

698
00:28:34,559 --> 00:28:36,320
>> That's brutal.

699
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,159
>> I think we started at 8:30 45.

700
00:28:40,159 --> 00:28:41,200
>> Yeah.

701
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,640
So you could see the ad. I mean, it was

702
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:43,919
a little hard to see some of the ads,

703
00:28:43,919 --> 00:28:45,360
but by the end, you could definitely see

704
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,000
them all. And then the movie was it was

705
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,120
dark enough.

706
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:49,440
>> Good.

707
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,640
>> It was good enough for the future for

708
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:51,919
June to like

709
00:28:51,919 --> 00:28:52,399
>> Mhm.

710
00:28:52,399 --> 00:28:54,559
>> Right. Was there anything that we needed

711
00:28:54,559 --> 00:28:57,279
that we didn't have? Like did did we

712
00:28:57,279 --> 00:28:58,880
need to buy the pins?

713
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,559
>> Yeah, just if we got extra ones of the

714
00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:02,000
speaker pins,

715
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,480
>> we found like a rusted thing that we

716
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:04,960
that worked.

717
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:05,520
>> Yeah.

718
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,760
>> But those those get lost so easily. So,

719
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,520
like,

720
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,120
however many you want us to lose, just

721
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,200
buy that. We'll lose that. But they they

722
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,240
go quick cuz it's where it is.

723
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,600
>> I think that was the only thing I can

724
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:18,320
remember that.

725
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,399
>> Yeah.

726
00:29:20,399 --> 00:29:22,480
All the equipment worked.

727
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,320
>> Oh, the little vacuum. Can we get a

728
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:24,960
little vacuum?

729
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,840
>> Yes. Thank you for reminding me.

730
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,440
>> Shark

731
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,269
things.

732
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:36,480
Um, kind of segueing into Princess

733
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,880
Bride. Sunset is again similar. 8:27

734
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,799
p.m.

735
00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:45,360
>> That's earlier.

736
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,679
>> Sunset in June was like 8:50. We never

737
00:29:47,679 --> 00:29:53,669
We didn't see it. We started earlier.

738
00:29:53,679 --> 00:29:55,919
» I know. We're doing

739
00:29:55,919 --> 00:29:58,799
uh a shield craft or something, I think.

740
00:29:58,799 --> 00:30:00,399
Are we doing sword craft or something?

741
00:30:00,399 --> 00:30:01,039
Yeah,

742
00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:03,279
>> you guys are providing shields that the

743
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:05,919
kids can mark up and stuff like that.

744
00:30:05,919 --> 00:30:11,679
Uh, and then I bought uh boatload of

745
00:30:11,679 --> 00:30:14,000
inflatable swords, pirate cutless

746
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,840
swords.

747
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,919
I used to be in a group called SCA,

748
00:30:17,919 --> 00:30:19,840
which stands for Society for Creative

749
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,960
Magism. I'm a giant nerd, as you know.

750
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,559
Uh, I have an actual like rap here with

751
00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:29,039
the cage around her hand and everything.

752
00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:32,320
So, I figured I'll bring that. Kids will

753
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,360
not be playing with that, but I'll do a

754
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,360
sword play school of sorts where really

755
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,679
all I'm teaching them is you say, "My

756
00:30:41,679 --> 00:30:44,399
name is and

757
00:30:44,399 --> 00:30:47,520
you killed my fairy princess or dinosaur

758
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,360
or whatever their favorite thing is,

759
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,679
prepare to die." And then you have to

760
00:30:51,679 --> 00:30:53,520
wear a mustache. So, we might get

761
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,919
mustaches out. And then the last thing

762
00:30:55,919 --> 00:30:57,279
will be like, "And then in the middle of

763
00:30:57,279 --> 00:30:59,919
your duel, you have to a chance. So,

764
00:30:59,919 --> 00:31:00,559
>> perfect.

765
00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:02,320
>> Amy, I know it's all going over your

766
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:03,120
head. You'll

767
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,200
>> I Well, so I'm really bummed. I can't

768
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,120
make the July movie. We're on

769
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,279
>> I'll be there for Dog Man in August.

770
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:14,480
>> That's I

771
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,000
>> You have to watch it on vacation.

772
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,360
>> I do. Yeah. Um Yeah, I'm bummed about

773
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,240
that one. Um I can get the ice cream

774
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,240
ahead of time, though. And then I don't

775
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,880
know. I saw the the advertisement on

776
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,440
Facebook. It looked great. I don't know

777
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,120
if we want to do more pre movie events

778
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,200
if anybody has ideas.

779
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,279
>> I had a couple, but I don't know that

780
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:41,840
there I reached out to um

781
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,440
uh there is a like birds of prey person

782
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,120
who like will bring falcons and that

783
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,960
kind of thing, but they said no loud

784
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,159
noises.

785
00:31:50,159 --> 00:31:51,966
>> Um so I don't know that like a

786
00:31:51,966 --> 00:31:53,440
[laughter] screaming is the best

787
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,200
environment. So that was kind of a dead

788
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,000
end.

789
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,600
>> And then there's somebody who comes to

790
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,200
the farmers market who occasionally has

791
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,600
a pony like a miniature horse which I

792
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,399
thought could be fun but I haven't heard

793
00:32:04,399 --> 00:32:06,159
back from them yet.

794
00:32:06,159 --> 00:32:09,760
>> Um and I don't know how much of a I

795
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:10,960
think it would be cool but I also don't

796
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,720
know how much like logistically that

797
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,039
would entail to be able to get them

798
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:17,919
there.

799
00:32:17,919 --> 00:32:21,279
>> Um for Dogman in particular, uh I think

800
00:32:21,279 --> 00:32:23,600
I've said this before, but just to

801
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,200
remind you, Park Books did a release

802
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,880
last year where they had a dress up dog.

803
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,240
>> So I could always reach out to Emily who

804
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,559
put that on last year and ask her.

805
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:38,559
>> I think that would be great.

806
00:32:38,559 --> 00:32:47,269
>> Dog came to Christmas. So at Christmas

807
00:32:47,279 --> 00:32:49,279
» is it there? Do they just have it at the

808
00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:50,080
bookstore?

809
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,840
>> No, I think they go through like a

810
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,679
superhero costume.

811
00:32:53,679 --> 00:32:55,039
>> Okay.

812
00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:57,279
>> Yeah, that' be good. So it would be

813
00:32:57,279 --> 00:32:59,919
asking how much.

814
00:32:59,919 --> 00:33:01,919
>> So that's one of those

815
00:33:01,919 --> 00:33:04,399
>> that whole kids would love that.

816
00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:06,960
>> Yeah. My other idea for Dog Man was

817
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,440
because he's [snorts] like a dog

818
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,000
policeman. We could have like meet and

819
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,760
greet with baby police, but I have not

820
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,519
reached out to them yet about that. And

821
00:33:17,519 --> 00:33:18,799
I don't know.

822
00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:21,200
>> I know that there used to be I don't

823
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,279
know if there still is a K9 unit if they

824
00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:24,799
do still have the dog.

825
00:33:24,799 --> 00:33:27,120
>> We do. Um, but that could also

826
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,480
potentially be really cool if they're

827
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,320
open to it and that's something that

828
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,720
they could bring the dog along for dog.

829
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,320
>> So freaking cute.

830
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,080
>> But again, I had that was just an idea I

831
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,840
had. I haven't reached out to anybody

832
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:38,399
about it yet.

833
00:33:38,399 --> 00:33:39,440
>> Would you like me to?

834
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:44,070
>> That would be great.

835
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,440
» Okay. That's a great idea.

836
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,720
>> Um, Lauren Barl, who was a good idea,

837
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,960
also posited, uh, Howard County does

838
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,159
something of like a pirate chest,

839
00:33:56,159 --> 00:33:59,760
uh, thing in parks. She said, "What if

840
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,960
she just buys like really cheap Amazon

841
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,120
treasure chests uh and then have the

842
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,960
kids go throughout the park finding

843
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,079
clues and then go back and they have to

844
00:34:10,079 --> 00:34:12,480
tell you the slogan or something and at

845
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,079
the snack check and uh you hand them a

846
00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:18,720
little treasure chest full of like candy

847
00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:20,000
or something."

848
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,440
>> You remember like the gold chocolate

849
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:21,919
coins?

850
00:34:21,919 --> 00:34:24,320
>> Oh yeah, those be fun.

851
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,320
>> So Hanukkah, that's A huge thing is the

852
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,639
dropping of of the chocolate coins. And

853
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:33,200
I will say they are a biohazard

854
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,800
nightmare.

855
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,639
>> They they will be opened. They will be

856
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:40,399
smashed into everything. But we could do

857
00:34:40,399 --> 00:34:43,119
that. Just that's a fair warning.

858
00:34:43,119 --> 00:34:45,040
>> We'll have you guys come and help me

859
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,720
pick them up. [snorts]

860
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:49,599
>> Would that be for Princess Bride or

861
00:34:49,599 --> 00:34:52,000
>> Goonies? For Yeah.

862
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
>> Could we fill it with Probably not.

863
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Could we fill it with popcorn? But maybe

864
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,119
not.

865
00:34:57,119 --> 00:34:58,320
Why not

866
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,760
>> souvenir popcorn?

867
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,200
>> Yeah. I mean it's clean, right?

868
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:01,520
>> Yeah.

869
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:02,560
>> Like they're

870
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,640
>> Well, they are wooden too, so the oil

871
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,504
will stain it, but I mean it's their

872
00:35:06,504 --> 00:35:07,440
[laughter]

873
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,720
>> get some splenders as they're eating it.

874
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:10,880
But

875
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,800
>> but popcorn be easy because just fill it

876
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:13,119
up.

877
00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:13,440
>> Yeah.

878
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,599
>> A little bit of free popcorn.

879
00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:18,400
>> I think that's a great idea.

880
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,560
>> That's good news is when? September.

881
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,200
Yeah. Okay.

882
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,030
>> We're ahead of the game now.

883
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,040
I was thinking while I'm thinking about

884
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,280
orders at the snack shack, we could say

885
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,560
something like as you wish or something

886
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,079
from the movie. And then I was really

887
00:35:36,079 --> 00:35:37,760
trying to figure out how could we make

888
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,640
Miracle Max's mostly dead pills. Like

889
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:41,839
what could we

890
00:35:41,839 --> 00:35:43,839
>> raise an ass?

891
00:35:43,839 --> 00:35:44,320
>> What?

892
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,160
>> Raise an ass.

893
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,599
>> That could work. And they we could give

894
00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:51,520
them out.

895
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,200
I do think for movies if we had like a

896
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,200
special movie thing whether it's a a

897
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,359
special drink or whatever it's very easy

898
00:35:59,359 --> 00:36:00,800
to theme a

899
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:01,760
>> drink or a candy

900
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,560
>> reame the

901
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,880
but if we have a little theme and people

902
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,240
could buy like a certain drink that

903
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:10,400
would go with something I don't know

904
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,760
>> that'd be fun but

905
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,720
>> I don't have an idea but besides that

906
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:15,520
the general

907
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,599
>> just yeah just throwing it out there

908
00:36:17,599 --> 00:36:19,520
I'll ask Lauren

909
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,560
Um I will not be at the July movie.

910
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,160
Lauren will be there when our when

911
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,440
church is in but

912
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:25,839
>> okay

913
00:36:25,839 --> 00:36:28,160
>> for setting up the movie.

914
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:29,920
>> I will be there. So do we have enough

915
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,359
people?

916
00:36:31,359 --> 00:36:35,670
>> I can be there.

917
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:36,240
» Okay.

918
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:38,240
>> And I have two volunteers.

919
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:41,359
>> Okay. So we'll be all right.

920
00:36:41,359 --> 00:36:42,960
>> Won't be as much fun without Amy and I,

921
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:47,109
but be fine.

922
00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:51,040
» As kind of a preemptive thing. As we get

923
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,560
more

924
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,760
news articles and more greatest small

925
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,000
town, greatest downtown and all the

926
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,760
accolades that comes with that comes a

927
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,920
lot of attention. Uh, our funds have

928
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,560
been blowing up for SSL hours because

929
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,200
they know how much or how many

930
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,800
volunteers or they think they know how

931
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,280
much volunteer opportunities there are.

932
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,480
>> Um, so kind of letting you know, but

933
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,880
like really letting you know,

934
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,040
>> um, there might be

935
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,720
is coming.

936
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:22,960
>> But this is this is the hard part

937
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,359
though. We can only have two volunteers

938
00:37:25,359 --> 00:37:26,480
in this action,

939
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,119
>> right?

940
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:30,960
>> And I don't I I feel bad bringing them

941
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,800
to help set up the movie and then that's

942
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,560
all they can do and then they just have

943
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,920
to sit. Now they can enjoy the movie but

944
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,240
and then they can help with cleanup but

945
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:42,720
I don't know what kind of volunteers

946
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:45,680
that movie equipment is heavy and

947
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,200
expensive.

948
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,920
>> Um I'm afraid if I got too many

949
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,599
volunteers, they would just be in the

950
00:37:51,599 --> 00:37:53,520
way because I know you guys have it down

951
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,680
to a system, but we can only really have

952
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,359
two people in the Snapchat

953
00:37:57,359 --> 00:37:59,520
>> and all my slots are all of mine and

954
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,440
Lauren's slots are full.

955
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:02,480
>> So,

956
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,320
>> which is a good thing, but I feel bad

957
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,079
that I'm still getting emails and I

958
00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:06,720
don't have

959
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:08,400
>> the whole summer already. Yeah,

960
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:09,359
>> that's amazing.

961
00:38:09,359 --> 00:38:10,240
>> Yeah.

962
00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:12,640
If if you're still getting emails,

963
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,240
maybe um

964
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:15,839
>> you're sending them to me. You're in

965
00:38:15,839 --> 00:38:17,200
charge of email now, right?

966
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:17,680
>> Yeah.

967
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,839
And I got one. I have I was going

968
00:38:19,839 --> 00:38:22,079
to reply to them that we have fall clean

969
00:38:22,079 --> 00:38:22,640
up.

970
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:23,040
>> Yeah.

971
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,560
>> Because the movies are full.

972
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,520
>> So that might be up to you guys to start

973
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,040
brainstorming on where other manpower

974
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,079
can be placed and stuff like that.

975
00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:37,520
>> Like I'm sure they could have been

976
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,760
helpful when you were building the float

977
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:46,470
and stuff this past weekend.

978
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,480
But I mean, say you have a kid who's in

979
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,680
the AV club or what have you, um, and

980
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,680
wants to help set up stuff like that,

981
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,000
like that's that's a good place to have

982
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,520
a a volunteer to help. So maybe if we're

983
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,280
doing more crafts besides what we're

984
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,320
offering, like who's running those? Like

985
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,920
we could have maybe volunteer help with

986
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,680
crafts, too. Right.

987
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,440
>> If we have more and I think the more

988
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:12,960
down there the better. Make it more of

989
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,119
an event things to do.

990
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:17,119
>> I agree with that. I just just let me

991
00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:20,560
know and I can um I can reach out to

992
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:21,599
find more.

993
00:39:21,599 --> 00:39:24,560
>> You are the um the volunteers that we

994
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,320
have coming to the July movie. Have they

995
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,000
worked with us before?

996
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:28,560
>> I know.

997
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:29,359
>> Do you think it's

998
00:39:29,359 --> 00:39:31,680
>> Oh, no, no, no, no. They they're

999
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:32,480
running.

1000
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:33,599
>> Okay.

1001
00:39:33,599 --> 00:39:36,240
Do you try to

1002
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:37,920
like when you select volunteers, do you

1003
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,160
always try to pick as many new people as

1004
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,160
possible to give everybody some hours or

1005
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,560
do you try to pick

1006
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,240
recurring

1007
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:47,839
kids like kids that we've already

1008
00:39:47,839 --> 00:39:49,920
trained in the snack shack? Do you

1009
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,520
>> both? Okay.

1010
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,480
>> Both. The girls that we had in June were

1011
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,960
phenomenal volunteers at Easter.

1012
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:57,359
>> Yeah.

1013
00:39:57,359 --> 00:39:59,520
>> And I said, I would like for you guys to

1014
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,920
come back and do the movies. So, they're

1015
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,880
June and September. And then this mom

1016
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,599
reached out and they're July. And then I

1017
00:40:07,599 --> 00:40:10,000
have somebody from August that did last

1018
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,040
Easter

1019
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,160
>> the year before. And then September is

1020
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,720

00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,119
schools. They send it out and then

1025
00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:28,720
people just come.

1026
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:30,480
>> If we have a lot of people, we can

1027
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,880
always have one or two for setup and

1028
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,640

1036
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,920
>> uh once the crafts are all put away and

stuff like that how many actually end up

1038
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,920

just makes it easier. I can put them

1091
00:43:01,599 --> 00:43:06,950

00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,760
earlier than Thursday? It hurt.

1099
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:24,400
>> No.

1100
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,520
>> Yeah. Like it says movie this Saturday,

1101
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:27,839
right?

1102
00:43:27,839 --> 00:43:29,920
>> Yeah. So it can't be before set but like

1103
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,599
I think as early as you set it up the

1104
00:43:31,599 --> 00:43:32,160
better.

1105
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:32,800
>> I think the

1106
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,880
>> whole week of people seeing it as better

1107
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:35,839
than two days.

1108
00:43:35,839 --> 00:43:38,720
>> The theory behind it before was that if

1109
00:43:38,720 --> 00:43:42,160
they sat out too long people would start

1110
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,319
ignoring them and then would forget by

1111
00:43:44,319 --> 00:43:46,800
the time the weekend came.

1112
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,200
>> Yeah. But Yeah.

1113
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,520
>> But I don't either.

1114
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,359
>> If you don't see it on Thursday then you

1115
00:43:53,359 --> 00:43:55,359
don't see it like you can see it on

1116
00:43:55,359 --> 00:43:57,760
Tuesday. See, Friday or say Monday,

1117
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:58,800
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and

1118
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,400
Friday, which really remind me.

1119
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,079
>> How about Wednesday?

1120
00:44:02,079 --> 00:44:04,800
>> I mean, it's I'm not set up. So, I feel

1121
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,720
bad even saying, but

1122
00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:08,480
>> I don't I don't personally think it hurt

1123
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,079
to set it really want to set it up. I

1124
00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:15,190
don't see how hurt personally.

1125
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,040
» Do you want me to reach out to my friend

1126
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,520
again who can make the movie topper?

1127
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,950
>> Oh,

1128
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,599
yeah. That would be helpful.

1129
00:44:25,599 --> 00:44:28,079
Well, how much is she charging?

1130
00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:30,319
>> The last time that we did it, I believe

1131
00:44:30,319 --> 00:44:32,640
it was $50.

1132
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,920
She won't make 20. She'll make 10. And

1133
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:42,079
we put those five those 10 in key areas.

1134
00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:45,760
>> I mean, your best call. Me personally

1135
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,319
though, like I I feel like that's we've

1136
00:44:48,319 --> 00:44:50,480
got Facebook and Google now, and if they

1137
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,800
can't find the movie night and what

1138
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,640
movie is playing based off of that,

1139
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,079
They're not really interested to begin

1140
00:44:56,079 --> 00:44:56,720
with.

1141
00:44:56,720 --> 00:45:00,079
>> And I I agree and I disagree.

1142
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:03,280
>> Um, when you drive by and you see it

1143
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,800
says Princess Bride, you're like

1144
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,560
Princess Bride. And when you drive by

1145
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,480
and say, "Let me check that when I got

1146
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,800
when I get home." And then you're making

1147
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,400
dinner, there's laundry, kids are

1148
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:13,839
streaming, there's homework, there's

1149
00:45:13,839 --> 00:45:16,160
this, and then you forget, and then you

1150
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,119
do it again. If it's instant, then you

1151
00:45:19,119 --> 00:45:20,400
know what the movie is.

1152
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:21,680
>> Yeah.

1153
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,440
>> That's what I was asking you the other

1154
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,240
week. how she did them because to me

1155
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:28,160
>> she's a cricket and there's paper.

1156
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,319
>> To me, it seems like there should be a

1157
00:45:30,319 --> 00:45:34,560
way that's easy enough for us to just do

1158
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:35,440
that. But

1159
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,160
>> Billy made them first and he would cut

1160
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,280
it out and spray paint it and it took a

1161
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,200
long time to dry and it took a long time

1162
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:44,079
to make.

1163
00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:45,359
>> Right.

1164
00:45:45,359 --> 00:45:47,119
>> Is she going to Is she just going to

1165
00:45:47,119 --> 00:45:48,560
print us out the stickers or is she

1166
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,640
going to make the actual thing that's

1167
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,920
>> She printed out the stickers and then I

1168
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:55,359
old signs

1169
00:45:55,359 --> 00:45:57,280
>> and put on signs and then put them in

1170
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,200
the signs.

1171
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:00,960
>> I'm not sure if she can do it. I can

1172
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,400
reach out and ask.

1173
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,000
>> I think it might be nice to try,

1174
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,760
especially for a movie like this.

1175
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,359
>> Yeah, I think this is a big one.

1176
00:46:07,359 --> 00:46:10,000
>> It's a memorable movie.

1177
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:17,222
>> But Amy still has

1178
00:46:17,232 --> 00:46:18,480
[laughter]

1179
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:19,440
>> It's a good movie.

1180
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:28,150
>> I was going to defend myself.

1181
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,680
Do we have to vote on that? Is that

1182
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,680
something we have to vote on? Because

1183
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:32,960
there's money involved.

1184
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,640
>> Oh, yeah.

1185
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,680
>> Possibly money involved.

1186
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,000
>> What's the decision? Yes. Go for it.

1187
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,440
>> To Yes. To

1188
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,040
>> Yes, it needs to be.

1189
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:43,520
>> All right.

1190
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,520
>> Okay.

1191
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,920
A motion to

1192
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,720
approve the spending of

1193
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:55,119
$50 or less. Is that right for

1194
00:46:55,119 --> 00:46:58,240
movie advertisement sign toppers? Movie

1195
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:00,319
sign. Yeah.

1196
00:47:00,319 --> 00:47:02,240
>> I'll second

1197
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:04,880
>> discussion.

1198
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,440
All in favor?

1199
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:12,710
Any opposed?

1200
00:47:12,720 --> 00:47:16,630
Yeah.

1201
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:17,839
Is that enough?

1202
00:47:17,839 --> 00:47:18,880
>> You did it.

1203
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,150
>> Did great.

1204
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,800
» Um,

1205
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,400
>> that's actually

1206
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:35,030
>> okay. No open ideas and visions.

1207
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:36,800
» Updates.

1208
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:37,680
All right.

1209
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,359
>> There's a lot of them.

1210
00:47:39,359 --> 00:47:44,160
>> Yeah. Yeah. Um so uh splash hat updates.

1211
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,839
The Miller Cooper Park splashback

1212
00:47:45,839 --> 00:47:47,359
continues to experience strong

1213
00:47:47,359 --> 00:47:48,880
attendance and remains a popular

1214
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,560
destination for residents and visitors

1215
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,960
throughout the region. Um the staffing

1216
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,880
adjustments have been made to support

1217
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:56,720
operations through the remainder of the

1218
00:47:56,720 --> 00:47:58,640
season and routine water quality

1219
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,480
monitoring and facility inspections

1220
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,960
continue. We got an A+ from the health

1221
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,000
board. So

1222
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,560
>> good. Uh staff are also documenting

1223
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,400
operational observations and visitor

1224
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,480
trends to help inform future grant

1225
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,200
writing and planning efforts. Um so I've

1226
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,200
been taking pictures of the buses,

1227
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:16,800
talking to the people, seeing where

1228
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,640
they're coming from and stuff so that

1229
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,160
when it comes time to um write grants

1230
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,400
for stuff like that, we have that

1231
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,319
information. I'm also going to start uh

1232
00:48:26,319 --> 00:48:28,559
one day out of the week doing field days

1233
00:48:28,559 --> 00:48:30,880
where I pretty much pick a picnic table,

1234
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,280
sit down, and every half hour I'm

1235
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,200
counting how many people in the park and

1236
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:36,800
taking pictures and stuff like that

1237
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,280
because that's the kind of data grants

1238
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,680
want. So,

1239
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,240
uh, Little Sykes update, Little Sykes

1240
00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:45,680
has continued to see excellent

1241
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,760
participation and community support

1242
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,440
throughout the season. Ridership and

1243
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,920
donations remain very strong, and the

1244
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:53,920
attraction continues to serve as a

1245
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,640
popular family activity within the town.

1246
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,160
Staff continue to coordinate with

1247
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,720
volunteers to ensure safe and successful

1248
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:03,520
operating days. And I just learned today

1249
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,040
they're going to um paint the metal

1250
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:11,440
gates uh the black parts of those. Uh so

1251
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,240
fresh.

1252
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:16,319
We had some zipline repairs at Miller

1253
00:49:16,319 --> 00:49:20,720
Cooper. um two weeks ago. Uh the

1254
00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:23,440
mechanical failure was that the cable

1255
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:27,040
itself started to bunch together so that

1256
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,960
the swing part itself uh it just

1257
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:36,160
wouldn't move. Um so uh Derek was out in

1258
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,720
uh Alaska for the past two or three

1259
00:49:38,720 --> 00:49:41,839
weeks. I think three weeks. Um, so the

1260
00:49:41,839 --> 00:49:44,000
um the rest of the guys were able to get

1261
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,839
together and they learned a thing or two

1262
00:49:45,839 --> 00:49:47,599
and they were able to put everything

1263
00:49:47,599 --> 00:49:50,559
back. Um, I did have to tell a a young

1264
00:49:50,559 --> 00:49:53,440
boy 10 11 years old today. Um, do not

1265
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,319
stand on the seat and do not jump as you

1266
00:49:56,319 --> 00:50:00,319
go down because he will break it.

1267
00:50:00,319 --> 00:50:03,599
>> That is definitely how you break it.

1268
00:50:03,599 --> 00:50:06,640
>> Uh, rain infrastructure. Uh, I gave a

1269
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:07,920
tour to

1270
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,640
>> a question. Are there rules posted for

1271
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:11,680
the zipline?

1272
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,119
>> No.

1273
00:50:13,119 --> 00:50:16,000
>> Should we think about posting?

1274
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,680
>> We would have to get those rules

1275
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,000
directly from Game Time.

1276
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,839
>> Game time doesn't make that zip line

1277
00:50:21,839 --> 00:50:22,880
anymore.

1278
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,160
>> So, I I I will reach out because I think

1279
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,440
that's a great idea. Um, but at the same

1280
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,440
time, I know that they will charge us an

1281
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,480
arm and a leg for those rules since they

1282
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,400
don't print them on the regular anymore.

1283
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,040
We can't make our own rules

1284
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,040
>> because it's not we didn't manufacture

1285
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,599
the equipment

1286
00:50:43,599 --> 00:50:47,119
like common sense rules.

1287
00:50:47,119 --> 00:50:48,720
>> Need to be posted.

1288
00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:50,960
>> I love where your head's at. I

1289
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,920
unfortunately am living in government

1290
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:55,520
world.

1291
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,400
>> Could we figure out or could we find the

1292
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,960
rules and then make it ourselves or no?

1293
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,599
>> Yeah. Uh that's actually an idea.

1294
00:51:03,599 --> 00:51:07,599
>> Yeah. Yeah. supposed we just make it.

1295
00:51:07,599 --> 00:51:10,480
>> But there's also we have holes for the

1296
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,040
splash pad and I'm still finding food

1297
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:13,839
containers.

1298
00:51:13,839 --> 00:51:15,200
>> Yeah, I mean it's all

1299
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,359
>> I'm just thinking liability, [snorts]

1300
00:51:17,359 --> 00:51:18,079
>> you know.

1301
00:51:18,079 --> 00:51:20,640
>> So in playgrounds in playgrounds there

1302
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,680
is um I forget the use that term

1303
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,200
inferred um liability so that if you do

1304
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,640
get harmed it's at your own risk. So

1305
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,319
we're we're covered by that already

1306
00:51:32,319 --> 00:51:34,319
through legit

1307
00:51:34,319 --> 00:51:35,599
So

1308
00:51:35,599 --> 00:51:37,280
>> yeah,

1309
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:38,880
>> it's it's only to hope that we don't

1310
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,880
have to fix the zip line too many times.

1311
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:41,200
>> Right.

1312
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:42,319
Breaks a lot

1313
00:51:42,319 --> 00:51:43,680
>> and that's if they meet it and then

1314
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:44,480
follow it.

1315
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:44,960
>> Right.

1316
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:45,359
>> Yeah.

1317
00:51:45,359 --> 00:51:46,160
>> That's what I was saying.

1318
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,119
>> Is that just typical zipline? Like do

1319
00:51:49,119 --> 00:51:51,040
other parks experience the same.

1320
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:52,960
>> So I'm telling you right now of all the

1321
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,880
parks I've been to and people I'veworked

1322
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,680
with and talked to, nobody has a zipline

1323
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,200
like that.

1324
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,760
>> I wonder why. Because of that, you will

1325
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,240
find the zip lines are lowered to the

1326
00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:07,520
ground. They are metal and you oil them

1327
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,000
up once a week and shuffle through and

1328
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,760
that's it. The zip line itself is

1329
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:18,630
I very much dislike it.

1330
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:19,920
» Makes sense.

1331
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,720
Uh so green infrastructure uh I gave a

1332
00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:24,880
tour to a couple of guys from Alliance

1333
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,359
for the Chesapeake Bay um so that they

1334
00:52:27,359 --> 00:52:29,119
could learn all about us and what some

1335
00:52:29,119 --> 00:52:31,680
of the practices we already have um like

1336
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,599
drainage and stuff like that and what

1337
00:52:33,599 --> 00:52:36,000
else we could be doing. Um so they're

1338
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,400
going to write up a report but they

1339
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:44,640
already came out of the park swinging

1340
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,200
whatever the saying is. Uh they had some

1341
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:51,040
great ideas like for instance um getting

1342
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,559
a bird watchers uh kind of area uh right

1343
00:52:54,559 --> 00:52:57,760
off the linear path or Mr. Trail um

1344
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,079
especially where that huge reservoir

1345
00:53:00,079 --> 00:53:01,760
lake is.

1346
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,119
>> So I thought that was pretty cool.

1347
00:53:05,119 --> 00:53:09,200
>> Uh MML summer conference uh staff and

1348
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,440
some council members uh attended the

1349
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,040
Maryland Municipal League summer

1350
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,920
conference and participated in and I

1351
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:17,760
participated in the parks and recreation

1352
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,480
association booth. Um the conference

1353
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,640
provided assoc opportunities to connect

1354
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,480
with municipal leaders from across the

1355
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,319
state, discuss emerging trends in parks

1356
00:53:26,319 --> 00:53:28,960
and recreation and share ideas related

1357
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,359
to community engagement programming,

1358
00:53:31,359 --> 00:53:34,960
public spaces and municipal operations.

1359
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:39,119
So with the PLA branch, um pretty much

1360
00:53:39,119 --> 00:53:43,280
what we're trying to do through MML is

1361
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,319
let township smaller than Sykesville

1362
00:53:46,319 --> 00:53:47,920
know that there are professionals that

1363
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,720
do it 247 um that they can reach out to

1364
00:53:50,720 --> 00:53:53,760
us and ask questions. We can we can tell

1365
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,920
them the people that we work with um

1366
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,000
through playgrounds or through the

1367
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,040
county state level, all that good stuff.

1368
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,079
So, and then of course I was repping in

1369
00:54:04,079 --> 00:54:06,400
Sykesville the whole entire time. So,

1370
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,880
people got to hear about Sykesville an

1371
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,520
awful lot.

1372
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,000
Uh park maintenance and safety updates.

1373
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,079
Uh the staff continues to work closely

1374
00:54:16,079 --> 00:54:18,160
with public works to address routine

1375
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,559
maintenance needs, safety concerns, and

1376
00:54:20,559 --> 00:54:22,800
infrastructure improvements throughout

1377
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,280
the park system. Uh recent efforts have

1378
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,760
included ongoing coordination related to

1379
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,319
a proposed sidewalk connection serving

1380
00:54:30,319 --> 00:54:32,800
South Branch Park. So that'll be the

1381
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,960
connector between the bridge and the

1382
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:40,400
park itself. Uh in which uh

1383
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,480
it's not on here, but Joe and I were

1384
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,640
actually in Westminster earlier this

1385
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,440
week uh when they had open session and

1386
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,240
we answered some questions from the

1387
00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:52,960
county council on

1388
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:57,119
uh the grant that we wrote and why Carol

1389
00:54:57,119 --> 00:55:00,800
County money um is going on a Howard

1390
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:05,280
County uh land and just economically

1391
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,680
it's it's going to help Carol County

1392
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,680
sites go out in the long run. Um Seth

1393
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,440
have continued to the project through

1394
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:14,640
planning discussions and grant

1395
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:16,160
application efforts aimed at improving

1396
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:20,079
pedestrian accessibility. Um I didn't

1397
00:55:20,079 --> 00:55:22,960
write all that. Uh the project was

1398
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:24,559
wellreceived and staff appreciate the

1399
00:55:24,559 --> 00:55:26,880
support shown by county leadership. Um

1400
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:28,720
additional efforts have included tree

1401
00:55:28,720 --> 00:55:30,319
maintenance, playground inspections,

1402
00:55:30,319 --> 00:55:32,720
facility monitoring, and response to

1403
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:36,000
resident concerns. Um which we've had a

1404
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,040
few but nobody yelling at us about just

1405
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,319
like trim this tree. Um,

1406
00:55:42,319 --> 00:55:44,160
please stop yelling at my kid to get off

1407
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,599
the zipline, stuff like that.

1408
00:55:47,599 --> 00:55:49,708
Uh, and last thing I have is um through

1409
00:55:49,708 --> 00:55:51,920
[snorts] professional development uh and

1410
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,720
community engagement. Uh, I was recently

1411
00:55:54,720 --> 00:55:56,960
elected to serve as the secretary of the

1412
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:58,480
friends of Fort Frederick board of

1413
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,200
directors. um participation in that

1414
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,520
organization uh I think is going to

1415
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,680
provide me with opportunities to gain

1416
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,400
more experience uh and better serve you

1417
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,920
guys as a secretarial role. Um I look

1418
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:13,920
forward to applying the lessons learned

1419
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:19,200
through this role and that's all I got.

1420
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:20,079
>> Nice.

1421
00:56:20,079 --> 00:56:21,599
>> Um

1422
00:56:21,599 --> 00:56:24,160
does little sites need volunteers

1423
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,319
because if an email comes through you

1424
00:56:26,319 --> 00:56:27,920
can send it to them. They're booked.

1425
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:29,920
They're good. They get booked pretty

1426
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:31,599
much January 1st.

1427
00:56:31,599 --> 00:56:33,040
>> That's what I thought. That's what I

1428
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:37,680
thought. Um, could you ask Public Works

1429
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,280
because they did this for the last

1430
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,319
movie. They cut the grass on a Tuesday.

1431
00:56:42,319 --> 00:56:43,920
It was perfect.

1432
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:44,400
>> Okay.

1433
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,720
>> The Tuesday before the movie,

1434
00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:49,200
>> the grass was gone. There wasn't any

1435
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,480
extra stuff flying in there. It was It

1436
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,720
Tuesday was perfect. And the splash

1437
00:56:54,720 --> 00:56:56,079
pad's gone. you know,

1438
00:56:56,079 --> 00:57:00,160
>> that's usually the day that they'll cut the grass there. Um,

1439
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:01,440
>> it's raining,

1440
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,200
>> right? But it was just it was just

1441
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:04,960
perfect because other days I think

1442
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:06,480
because of the rain and they've cut it

1443
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,200
Friday there's a lot of grass and it's

1444
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,839
just messy. But Tuesday was perfect.

1445
00:57:11,839 --> 00:57:14,079
>> Would we rather just tell public works

1446
00:57:14,079 --> 00:57:16,559
that on Friday it's a little bit long

1447
00:57:16,559 --> 00:57:18,240
because at that point it's just going to

1448
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:19,839
be way too muggy.

1449
00:57:19,839 --> 00:57:20,400
>> Yeah.

1450
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:20,960
>> Okay.

1451
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,520
>> Yes, please. Speaking of that, is the

1452
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:26,240
screen good to go? Did it need dried out

1453
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:27,440
or clean?

1454
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:28,960
>> The tarp was a little damp, but we just

1455
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:29,920
folded it up.

1456
