[0:03] And one. This is

[0:05] called to order of the Sykesville Parks and Recreation Commission July 23rd,

[0:11] 2026 meeting starting at 7:02 p.m. And we're off.

[0:17] Uh the first order of business

[0:20] is to approve the June 25th, 2026 meeting minutes. We cannot do that cuz

[0:25] we don't have quorum, so we'll save that for another day.

[0:30] Uh we had no public comments, so let's go to old business. The children's

[0:35] library update. Uh maintenance is ready to install the little library whenever

[0:39] the library is ready.

[0:42] All right. Um did Chris have anything to say about

[0:46] that? I know that she knows the lady. >> I don't think she said anything.

[0:51] » An email explaining the little library should be coming soon, she says.

[0:55] » Uh she did email me. They're just waiting on the plaque. So, whenever

[0:59] whenever she gets us to go ahead, public works is ready to

[1:02] dig a hole. >> Neat.

[1:04] » All right. Um natural bulletin board update. Limbs

[1:08] from evergreen and cherry trees have been set aside after a cleanup project

[1:11] in Jones Park. Further discussion is needed. Pushed from June's meeting. So,

[1:15] there's you did not find them. >> So, do we know where they are?

[1:19] » They're too tiny. Went to Jones Park and there's a pile of

[1:23] » twigs. >> twigs.

[1:24] » Yeah. >> Not limbs. So, I need 10, 12 foot

[1:28] limbs. >> Same thing.

[1:29] » You know, 6-in diameter, somewhere. >> I'll take the twigs.

[1:34] » I need three of those. Well, there's piles in there.

[1:37] » Okay. Use them for mulch.

[1:42] » Yep. And then we still need to determine Well, since I don't know, it sounds like

[1:48] public works is digging a hole for the library children's library, are they

[1:51] also digging holes for the sign or >> No.

[1:54] » They They can, yeah. >> Okay.

[1:56] » Yeah. >> Okay.

[1:58] » Good. Just need some wood. >> So, we just need Yep, the wood.

[2:02] » But, if you ride around town even now, people probably still have down trees in

[2:07] their backyard. You could cut away and take.

[2:11] That might be a lot of effort, though. >> Um

[2:16] » Let freedom ring free. Discussion on how the event went, how the float did, and

[2:20] if there are any changes needed for next year.

[2:24] It was hot. Glad.

[2:27] That was my squirrel. Um I thought the float was very nice.

[2:33] » Me too. >> Maybe some some

[2:36] more foliage next time? More trees, bigger trees?

[2:40] » Yeah, I agree. >> Um

[2:44] » But, everything turned out >> Everything was nice.

[2:46] » really well. >> Yeah. Yeah, I think it would be cool,

[2:48] too, if we could figure out how to make the signs double-sided.

[2:51] » Yeah. >> So, that you can read it from either

[2:54] direction. >> Mhm.

[2:56] But, the signs were nice. >> Thank you.

[2:58] » They looked very professional. And

[3:04] » I'd still like to see a swing on there. >> A swing?

[3:06] » Mhm. >> I like that.

[3:08] » You can do it. Take a little bit of time.

[3:10] » cushion in your back.

[3:13] » That would be cool. >> How was the space like on the float? Was

[3:16] there enough >> It was fine. Yeah.

[3:18] Very spacious. Um

[3:23] » I think it was a great first first draft

[3:27] » Mhm. >> of the float.

[3:29] » Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. Anybody else?

[3:33] How did it look from from a distance? >> You know, I haven't heard anything

[3:36] negative. >> It was [clears throat] I haven't heard

[3:38] anything. >> Gross got three points.

[3:40] » Okay. >> I think they sang or something. They

[3:43] sang the national anthem or something. >> They did. I heard it.

[3:49] » Oh, one thing that luckily I didn't know, but it fit anyway, that

[3:54] the parade had a theme, which was back to your roots.

[4:01] So, luckily, our float did match that by coincidence.

[4:04] Um but that's something to keep in mind for next year if they change the theme

[4:07] every year. Does that mean we have to build a new

[4:10] float every year or modify it somehow? >> I feel like the concept is simple enough

[4:16] that it's easy to kind of add or take away from stuff.

[4:19] » Yeah. >> They can

[4:21] figure out a way to >> Yeah.

[4:24] Just stick and still be a park scene, but we can do different things in the

[4:27] park depending on the theme.

[4:30] Okay. Uh farmers market and planning

[4:33] discussion how July farmers market went, if there are any changes needed, and

[4:37] what date works, who will volunteer to work the table at August.

[4:40] » You did that with Chris. >> I did with Chris.

[4:42] » How was it? >> It was a very nice day. We had a nice

[4:44] location. >> Was it okay without the tent?

[4:47] » We had a tent. They got us a tent. Um

[4:51] it was in the center location with like the What do they call it? The youth the

[4:55] younger >> by the town hall.

[4:57] » Yeah. And then the music and stuff. Um we didn't get as many signatures as

[5:02] we've gotten in the past. We did run out of stickers and coloring pages.

[5:07] So, if we do need more of those and flyers, so we ran out of all of our

[5:12] materials that we can hand out. Um so, if we're going to do the August one, we

[5:16] should get more of those things. Are we still going

[5:18] » It was all being restocked. >> Okay.

[5:21] Um who can do August Did we talk about dates for August? Was there like a

[5:25] certain Sunday of the month that we were thinking?

[5:28] » So, I was coordinating with Sarah, and she said

[5:32] as long as we were good with that spot they gave you,

[5:35] that we can just request whatever date.

[5:40] » Okay. >> And she can accommodate.

[5:42] » Um >> Um cuz I think it wasn't like an

[5:44] official spot that she gave us. She kind of just squeezed herself

[5:47] » Yeah. So, what date did we do that? The 11th?

[5:51] Is that when that was?

[5:54] It was or the 12th, sorry, cuz it was the day after the movie.

[5:59] Um >> Lauren is not going to be able to make

[6:02] the meeting. >> Okay.

[6:04] » [clears throat] >> So, if you want to stick to that, we

[6:05] could do August 9th, which is the second Sunday of the month.

[6:10] » Do you want to do the Sunday right after the movie?

[6:13] » Or if we Okay, that's true. Or if we don't want to do double duty on the

[6:16] weekend, we could do the 16th instead.

[6:23] Am Am I doing it? I'll do it.

[6:27] I don't mind it. It's fun. It's relaxing. I haven't done it yet. I

[6:30] can help. The 30th?

[6:32] » Yeah, August is I could definitely do September. August is a little tough for

[6:35] me. >> Uh if you want to do 30th, I'll do 30th.

[6:40] » Yeah. >> That's fine. I'll be back in school.

[6:44] » Um I'll email Sarah and then I'll copy both of you

[6:48] on it. >> Uh from a volunteer standpoint, Kylie

[6:53] Olson was the woman who was working the uh Carroll County 4-H booth.

[6:58] » Mhm. Oh, yeah. >> And I had a meeting with her today.

[7:02] Uh she has a lot of programming that she want to bring down. I did tell her that

[7:06] we're kind of skeleton crew, so.

[7:10] » Did Chris give it Did Chris tell you about that? Yes. Did she also tell you

[7:14] about we met some former employees from Howard County Parks and Rec?

[7:21] » He did not. >> And they said they'd be open to coming

[7:25] to one of our meetings and doing a little presentation, just to

[7:29] show us all the stuff that they've done and maybe give us some new ideas. I have

[7:33] I mean, Chris I think Chris got a business card to give to you, but I also

[7:36] have one, so I can just give you this later.

[7:41] Um but that was really nice. So, we didn't we didn't get a lot of

[7:44] um, volunteer signatures, but we did meet a couple interesting people that we

[7:50] could network with and collaborate [snorts] with.

[7:54] Um.

[7:58] » Any leads on the open seat? >> Um.

[8:01] » What about the farmers market? >> We emailed Kyle again.

[8:05] Did he get back this time? >> No.

[8:07] » Okay. >> So, at this point, um,

[8:11] but I'm going to leave it in your guys' capable hands, but that's the fifth time

[8:15] » Okay. >> reached out to Kyle. So, I think

[8:19] from my my viewpoint, and I absolutely could be wrong, but I think he really

[8:23] likes Chris and doesn't want to disappoint her.

[8:27] So. >> Okay.

[8:30] Um, I guess I should read this then. SPARK currently has one vacant

[8:33] commission seat. Residents interested in parks, recreation, community events, and

[8:37] public spaces are encouraged to apply. Staff continue to share information

[8:43] regarding the vacancy and welcome recommendations of community members who

[8:45] may be interested in serving. Anyone who is interested in joining

[8:50] SPARK should email parks@sykesville.net.

[8:56] Um, and that's it for the old business. On to new business.

[9:02] Um, we had to cancel The Princess Bride. Um.

[9:09] Discussion on the decision to cancel the movie and if the weather policy is still

[9:12] working. It was a hard decision. It was one of those

[9:17] 50/50 chance if it actually rains substantially, but I think we made the

[9:21] right call cuz it did rain. >> Yeah.

[9:25] Joe Joe backed you guys up on that decision. It was like you It rained a

[9:29] little bit, not a lot, but that's enough to

[9:31] » Yeah. >> damage equipment. That's not what

[9:35] This is what it's all about. >> Yeah.

[9:37] » How long do we have the rights for that one?

[9:40] » A year. A year. >> So, uh it has been asked on social media

[9:44] uh whether we would reschedule for this year. Mhm.

[9:48] Um but of course that means that it is up to you guys. I can't answer for

[9:53] that. So. >> I think we save it for next year. That's

[9:56] what we typically do. >> Okay.

[9:57] » Um >> Or mostly

[10:00] the possibility of pushing one of the other movies from this year

[10:04] to next year. >> What other movies do we have?

[10:06] » Dogman, Goonies, and Scooby Doo.

[10:11] » I don't want to push the Goonies. I like the Goonies.

[10:15] » Have you seen uh like feedback and engagement for Dogman upcoming?

[10:22] » Yeah. >> Okay.

[10:23] » Dogman will probably be >> Yeah, we probably should push that.

[10:26] » Um

[10:29] Chris said she likes the cancellation process.

[10:34] We looked at weather on many sources. And

[10:40] Um

[10:44] Sorry. Uh Chris will be at the Oh, wait. We

[10:48] haven't got there yet. Um oh, uh we talked about

[10:53] uh the snack shack refrigerator and the power outage

[10:58] that happened. Do you know, uh Drew, how long the snack shack was

[11:02] without power? >> We don't. Um so, Joe and I talked about

[11:06] that. It was just just toss it. >> Okay, that's what you agreed, right? I

[11:10] agree. I think we should toss it. >> Yeah, there's there's an unknown there.

[11:13] It's food, so. >> Yeah.

[11:15] Um So, we're going to have to restock the

[11:17] snack shack. Um

[11:22] » Just toss out the right? >> Well, we had ice cream.

[11:25] » So, I I mean, up to people's opinion. I Chris said she thought the ice cream was

[11:31] fine. >> Yeah.

[11:32] » Because it wasn't obviously melt. You can tell when the ice cream melts and it

[11:35] refreezes. >> Yeah.

[11:36] » And if nobody opens a freezer, it's good for like 24 to 48 hours. But again, if

[11:41] we don't know how long it was without power.

[11:45] » I was without power >> Would you guys mind if I reached out to

[11:47] the health boards in Carroll County just to make sure we're covering all our

[11:51] bases with that one? >> Yes.

[11:52] » Yeah, that's right. >> And I think our our

[11:55] um What do we have

[11:57] license that we have? The food permit. >> Mhm.

[12:00] » Probably has specific information, right? About regulations.

[12:04] » It It really is just a boiler plate to fill this out for you.

[12:07] Yeah, I'll I'll get guidance from them.

[12:10] » And I assume we have to follow all the same regulations that restaurants

[12:13] follow, right? Like when the power goes out.

[12:16] » We don't fill out um a a um

[12:20] a food safety form. We do temporaries for specific dates.

[12:24] » Oh. >> I was out

[12:26] without power for 3 days. >> For 3 days? I was 2 days.

[12:31] Where do you live? >> Second.

[12:33] » You're on Second Avenue? Huh.

[12:36] » Neighbor. >> Huh.

[12:38] » You're on the other side of Second Avenue.

[12:41] » Hm. Yeah, it was It was exciting.

[12:45] Um >> Yeah.

[12:47] » Three days for us, too. >> What a time.

[12:49] » Yeah, you had 3 days, too? >> It was 3 days.

[12:52] » I had a pine tree that shut down Second Avenue.

[12:54] » Yes. >> For hours.

[12:56] » Yeah. >> Yeah.

[12:57] » Yeah. >> So.

[13:00] » Yeah, our house was like It was like 88 degrees.

[13:02] » Yeah. >> It was nice.

[13:06] » Uh >> Who does the head on? Sorry. Who does

[13:09] the tree removal when when your trees are

[13:12] across the street? Is it our folks or is it contracted?

[13:15] » That's contracted out. Um usually we'll go with a guy named Lowell from uh

[13:19] O'Malley Tree Service, which is Oak Ridge

[13:22] » Yeah. I mean, to say a

[13:27] eight or nine guys that came out and they were amazing.

[13:30] I mean, it was just I'm telling you 20 minutes of a

[13:35] giant tree in the middle of the street. They were They had the leaf blowers out

[13:38] the end of the never miss. I'm well, hours after it went down. But once

[13:43] they got there, yeah, there was three, four trucks.

[13:47] They were They were amazing. I mean, >> I'll send along your

[13:51] compliments. >> unreal.

[13:55] » Do we have to Is the Is that a voting thing?

[13:58] Changing or rescheduling Princess Bride or

[14:03] saving it for next year? >> If that's something that's always been a

[14:06] process, the process dictates. >> Okay.

[14:09] » Or can dictate. >> I feel like that's always been what

[14:11] we've done. >> Well, I mean, in years past, we used to

[14:14] reserve like when when when was our last minute?

[14:16] » a rain date. >> Yeah, we always had a rain date at the

[14:19] end of the season.

[14:22] Cuz I think we pushed out May. >> Yes.

[14:24] » Yeah. >> We used to go May, June, July, August,

[14:27] and September was a rain date. >> Yeah.

[14:29] » So, I guess once we've moved >> Yeah.

[14:32] But like we were going to show Toy Story this year because we canceled it last

[14:36] year. Let's save it for

[14:40] next year.

[14:45] I don't know what we're doing anymore.

[14:48] Discussion today. Oh, okay. So, the next movie. No, where are

[14:53] we? I'm sorry. I'm lost. Skate Jam. All right, let's go to Skate

[14:56] Jam. Um [snorts] as things stand, the Skate

[14:59] Jam will be on the same day as the annual Fall Festival. The town asked

[15:03] Spark to either reschedule or cancel the Skate Jam because of lack of resources

[15:08] that day. A decision A decision is asked from the commission.

[15:12] Um resources as in police presence. Is that what they mean?

[15:16] » Uh police presence. Uh public works is going to be taken up. Um so, Fall

[15:21] Festival, uh we're looking at around 2,000

[15:24] people attending. >> Is the fall festival our thing or is

[15:27] that what the church does? >> That's what the church does.

[15:30] » Okay. >> Uh and they do it all for free.

[15:32] » Yeah. Is that the one that happens at Miller

[15:34] Cooper? >> Yeah.

[15:36] And it's the town's opinion uh that that's just a remarkable

[15:42] thing that they do. Um and a good good program.

[15:47] » What church is that? Is it >> Freedom Fellowship?

[15:50] » That's the 32. Yeah.

[15:53] » So, um as things stand, uh Sully has not gotten back to me.

[16:01] Um he hasn't

[16:04] really opened things up. Um

[16:08] » Yeah, I feel like until we get a date a potential date or dates that would work

[16:12] for Shrimp Town,

[16:15] » Yeah. >> there's no way for us.

[16:16] » Yeah. Yeah, I don't think we can

[16:20] » send them dates that work for us. But they're

[16:23] » So, what would you guys think about letting Shrimp Town take over the stage?

[16:30] » That's >> It can be their event and if they want

[16:32] back up, like advertising and if they want EMS there, if they want

[16:40] permits for booths and stuff like that, that can all come through the town's

[16:46] park. But as of right now, none of us are skateboarders.

[16:51] » Um honestly, I'm fine with that. I went last year. I thought it was a great

[16:54] event, but I didn't I didn't see how if Spark was not there,

[16:59] how it necessarily would have been any different.

[17:03] Like we weren't we weren't the ones who were really

[17:06] » Right. We weren't running it.

[17:08] » Like right now would be uh Chris would be looking over at you being like, "This

[17:13] is your baby." >> Yeah.

[17:14] » What do you what do you think? >> If the Spark

[17:17] We could We could still have a table there.

[17:19] » We had this discussion before. I don't remember the outcome of that

[17:23] discussion. But we talked about this. >> What I care about is that there is an

[17:27] event. So, >> Yes.

[17:29] » if Shrimp Town takes it on, then it's still going to be the same outcome. It's

[17:32] going to be a skate event, you know, to take it out

[17:35] of the rescue park. >> Who was the last person to reach out to

[17:38] Shrimp Town and work with um

[17:43] » So, he I I forget who who was the man who came to speak.

[17:47] » Uh Dave Sullivan or >> Yeah, so he came back

[17:50] » by Sully. >> I think he came back in March, ish.

[17:54] » Mhm. >> Um and did say that he valued, you know,

[17:56] Spark's help with the event. I think it would be fine for us to help.

[18:02] But as far as us leading it, I don't know if that's necessarily

[18:09] » Yeah. >> the best.

[18:10] » It makes sense.

[18:14] » Yep. >> I'm okay with that.

[18:15] » Yeah, I don't think we can >> Just uh

[18:17] let them schedule it and then we'll help where we can.

[18:21] » So, what's the next step then? Just reach out to Sully and

[18:25] » That's all the information we have. >> Yeah.

[18:27] » And then we can make the decision next month.

[18:29] » Okay. >> Yep.

[18:48] » Next. >> Dog Man.

[18:51] » Dog Man. And the Goonies.

[18:53] » And Saturday, August 8th.

[18:57] » Planning discussion for August showing of Dog Man and September showing of the

[19:01] Goonies. Additional family-friendly activities, environmental tie-ins, and

[19:05] potential partnerships should be explored to help create a stronger

[19:09] pre-movie experience. Chris has something to say about that.

[19:13] Chris said she's trying to get in touch with Debbie, former owner of a likely

[19:17] story, who had a Dog Man costume, >> [snorts]

[19:20] » uh that we borrowed for Santa a few years back.

[19:24] Um she has a volunteer to wear a costume if there is such a costume.

[19:31] Uh there could be a fee for renting the costume,

[19:34] and hopefully she finds out before the movie.

[19:38] That's what she has to say about that. So, that's our pre-movie

[19:42] plan for Dog Man is Dog Man himself. >> Were you

[19:48] Were you able to reach out to um Sykesville Police about potentially

[19:53] having them be there? >> Yeah, and we got a tentative yes. I'm

[19:57] doing an exhibition of the canine unit that they have.

[19:59] » Oh, yeah. >> Carrie's also going to go down another

[20:03] track tomorrow. Uh she's going to Carroll County Humane Society to pick up

[20:07] another dog to uh a dog day out uh kind of thing. She did

[20:13] it last month, and it was pretty successful.

[20:16] Rookie got Rookie got adopted in 2 days. So, um

[20:22] so, she's going to get in contact with them and see if they

[20:26] get a real answer, a yes or a no, not a not a sitting on the fence.

[20:30] Uh Park Books will not be able to join us on that day.

[20:34] » Okay. Does that mean no costume? >> Uh

[20:38] so, their answer to being able to help out was no, cuz they're understaffed

[20:43] right now, and their costume is they usually get it from the publisher.

[20:48] And it's like, okay, well, we're not selling

[20:51] books. >> That's true.

[20:54] » I could reach out to the publisher, but I just feel like that's a lot.

[20:58] Um That's true.

[21:09] Do do do do >> That's dog man. Do we have any ideas for

[21:11] the Goonies? Buried treasure of some sort. Scavenger

[21:16] hunt, wasn't that brought up? >> Yeah, that's what Lauren Merrell

[21:21] Yeah, Lauren Merrell wants to do. >> I like that idea a lot.

[21:30] » So, why don't we reach out to her tomorrow then and say we're interested

[21:34] and ask her what she'd like Sparks involvement to be there.

[21:38] » Okay.

[21:41] » And then, you know, you guys

[22:03] » Anything else? Oh. Who's going to be there?

[22:05] » Yeah, maybe for the dog run we should do the

[22:10] set up details. >> What did you say the date was for that?

[22:12] Eighth? >> The eighth.

[22:14] » Okay. I'll be there.

[22:16] » I will be there. >> I can be there.

[22:28] Alex? >> Maybe.

[22:30] » Maybe.

[22:41] And probably Chris. No, Chris said >> She said she'll be there.

[22:46] » She did. Okay.

[22:57] Goonies, we [clears throat] can just figure that out

[22:59] » Yeah, signs.

[23:01] » Signs?

[23:04] » Um >> I can't do signs.

[23:07] I am at Deep Creek and I come back with that day. And then I'll come back to the

[23:10] movie that day. >> Uh, I can do it again. I don't mind.

[23:16] » It's pretty easy.

[23:19] » Okay. Chris has volunteers already.

[23:23] » Okay. >> Um,

[23:26] she asks if the donation to Basil L. I Run Nature Center has been sent.

[23:32] » Yes. >> Cool.

[23:36] » What was I going

[23:43] And then I'm assuming Chris will take care of

[23:46] restocking this section.

[23:49] And then if she needs any help, then yeah.

[23:52] We can figure that out closer to the date.

[23:56] » Yeah, plenty of time.

[24:06] » I think that's it.

[24:10] » Yep. That's all Chris has to say.

[24:14] Um, open ideas and vision.

[24:19] Which is blank. Anybody have any ideas they just thought

[24:22] of? >> I'm visionless this week.

[24:27] » Sometimes it be like that. Okay. Town updates.

[24:32] » All right. Running through real quick. Um, so the storm response and slide pad

[24:37] operations, um, the storm that occurred during Independence Day weekend, um, was

[24:40] a doozy. And public works, um, they worked very, uh, hard to clear damage

[24:46] from all areas of Saxton. Um, Derek organized with local

[24:50] contractors at HW, um, to clean up the fallen trees in South Branch and in

[24:54] Miller Cooper. Um,

[24:56] a tree very close to Pavilion 2 uh was destroyed and almost took out the

[25:01] Pavilion. Uh, but we were lucky it's still

[25:03] standing. Um, yeah, like like a lot of people, as

[25:07] we've talked about, uh Splash Pad also lost power, so it was down on Sunday.

[25:13] Um, and then uh coordination with Stellar uh and it was up and running in

[25:17] 1 day. Um, zipline was also damaged again uh

[25:22] and fixed within days' time. Um, I I just want to say thanks to to public

[25:27] works of HW and all those people as well um cuz that like it was said, it was

[25:32] impressive. Then uh the last thing I have is

[25:36] interpretive nature panels. Um, the linear trail from Calarama to the

[25:41] branch off towards the spring house and outdoor classroom is going to be closed

[25:45] from uh July 27th to the 31st from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day.

[25:52] Um, contractors will be working on

[25:54] installing the panels on those days. Um, residents are asked to avoid that area

[25:59] or step carefully while installations are taking place.

[26:03] Um, we're using O'Donnell um landscapers to install those and we

[26:08] picked those up today. >> Cool.

[26:13] » Uh, >> What were the times you said? July 27th

[26:15] to the 31st? >> 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

[26:25] uh second pour will be on Thursday.

[26:29] » Okay. And there was this was a few weeks ago,

[26:32] I guess it was shortly after the storm, there was a big tree blocking the path

[26:37] that carried over to the CD. Do you know if that's

[26:39] » Yeah. Yeah. Yep. >> And have a chance to go there?

[26:43] » Mhm. Council updates?

[26:46] » Um, I do actually have some things. So, I don't know if you guys follow the

[26:49] channel Facebook page, you should. Um, but they posted

[26:54] um some concept ideas.

[27:02] the amphitheater canopy building. Um

[27:07] I just wanted to get your attention since it's in one of our parks. You can

[27:13] » Oh, it's like this one this one page of three different

[27:17] pictures um >> What are the There were a lot of

[27:19] comments about are they are they installing a bathroom or real restroom?

[27:24] Is that happening? Do we know? >> there. Um

[27:27] » We don't know. >> Uh Amy

[27:28] » I mean it was still Yeah, but it I mean it was discussed at

[27:32] some point, but it I mean this this isn't decided at all. This is a

[27:36] » Right. >> conceptual um

[27:37] » Didn't know if that was in the works or tough so.

[27:40] » yeah, Amy hit it on the nose. There's just no water infrastructure over there

[27:43] right now. So, that's why there's no port-a-potty. Um

[27:47] and then that's as much as I know. I can look into it deeper if you guys like.

[27:51] » Hm. I'm just curious myself, but it's no big deal.

[27:57] » Yeah, I've heard that comment a lot, too.

[27:59] It's the same comments here where people are like, "You're building a pavilion

[28:01] next to a pavilion." >> That's true. Yep.

[28:05] » It's a different purpose, though.

[28:09] » Pardon me? >> I I I have almost no

[28:13] interaction with this this project to go with.

[28:15] » I mean, could it be used for say farmers market if it rains? Could

[28:20] there's potential for it to shift over there?

[28:23] » I mean, I don't see why not. >> [snorts]

[28:25] » Okay. >> A partial bit of it. Um

[28:29] maybe yeah. Like maybe a quarter cuz that's that farmers market has gotten
