[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.

[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.
[26:18] » Okay.
[26:21] » Uh, concrete will go down Tuesday
and then
[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.
[26:58] » Oh, yeah, for the
>> for the the show
[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
[27:10] take a look at it.
>> There's multiple ideas? I only saw the
[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
[28:34] » It's gotten big, yeah.
>> Yeah, it's crazy.
[28:38] » Seriously.
[28:44] » Cool.
All right.
[28:47] Shall we?
Shall we end it here?
[28:51] » Yep.
>> Okay. I motion to end
[28:55] Sexsmith Parks and Recreation
Commission meeting 7:31 p.m.
[29:00] » I second.
>> Anybody got something to say?
[29:03] All in favor.
>> it's a decision. I think you just close
[29:06] it.
>> Okay. We're done. [laughter]
