So technically it's a little 25 00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:11,800 outside our area but our guys went and I don't know if I mentioned it before but our fire 26 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:17,900 rescue now has a boat. So we've stepped up to that and they had the opportunity to respond. 27 00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:22,700 We've been involved with helping train their crew. We've been helping train their divers for the 28 00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:26,940 last few years and now we're my guys are teaching their new guys how to drive the boats. 29 00:02:30,580 --> 00:02:31,060 The fire 30 00:02:31,060 --> 00:02:36,620 got there. The crew on the boat was able to put out the fire before they needed help, but they 31 00:02:36,620 --> 00:02:41,760 went out anyway and got a little practice responding to those calls, which we get once in a while. 32 00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:46,080 So it was good. Nobody hurt, and there was some damage to the boat, 33 00:02:48,180 --> 00:02:48,180 and 34 00:02:48,180 --> 00:02:55,310 but at the end of the day was all right. Other than that, the big good news is our new boat will be 35 00:02:55,310 --> 00:02:56,910 ready in early October. 36 00:02:58,090 --> 00:03:00,030 Maybe even a little sooner, like I was telling you, 37 00:03:00,030 --> 00:03:01,910 the big one, the big one. 38 00:03:02,250 --> 00:03:04,590 I had the chance to see it last week. 39 00:03:04,670 --> 00:03:06,530 It's turning out very nice, everything is, 40 00:03:06,530 --> 00:03:10,010 as we requested it, it's going to get finished up, 41 00:03:10,030 --> 00:03:12,450 shrink wrapped, put on a trailer and brought down here. 42 00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:15,630 So you'll be the first to hear about it when it goes like, 43 00:03:15,630 --> 00:03:16,610 what does it look like? 44 00:03:16,650 --> 00:03:19,010 It's a safe boat, it's similar what the Coast Guard runs, 45 00:03:19,310 --> 00:03:23,250 a big aluminum hull with a foam collar around it, 46 00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:28,510 purpose built for for law enforcement looks like a police boat my favorite feature it has 47 00:03:28,510 --> 00:03:32,410 little cutouts at the back so if we have to pull someone out of the water we're not trying 48 00:03:32,410 --> 00:03:36,330 to pull them up over a gun or it's you know you get two guys on the side of the boat 49 00:03:36,330 --> 00:03:41,690 to the lower you can slide them on in just makes recovering whether it's our divers or you 50 00:03:41,690 --> 00:03:47,150 know someone who's injured makes it a lot better also in terms of protection when we're 51 00:03:47,150 --> 00:03:50,890 pulling up next to boat we don't need those benders anymore that tend to bounce out of the 52 00:03:50,890 --> 00:03:57,590 And we risk scratching boats. I don't even like stopping boats on rough days because last thing I want to do is damage. I don't want a damage our boat 53 00:03:57,590 --> 00:04:02,250 I don't want a damage your boat. It's probably a lot more expensive than ours. So with this soft-sided boat that 54 00:04:03,250 --> 00:04:05,110 It's a lot a lot safer a lot easier 55 00:04:06,890 --> 00:04:09,870 Great great. It's been determined to be faster 56 00:04:10,850 --> 00:04:18,090 We did a study. We went back and forth with with gray and black. It's it's a nice gray. The aluminum is is that 57 00:04:18,090 --> 00:04:24,550 kind of brush aluminum look. So it's, it's, it's nice. Once it's docked, I'll let you all know and you can come in, have a tour. 58 00:04:25,330 --> 00:04:29,210 It'll be, there will, there's, is there a panel or space for it to save 59 00:04:29,210 --> 00:04:34,330 Corganese police? Yes, we're, we're working on the striping, but the outer collar is going to 60 00:04:34,330 --> 00:04:39,650 save police and we're going to have the badge and, um, on the side of the console. 61 00:05:00,110 --> 00:05:25,150 Yeah, we definitely wanted on there. Yeah, and I get your point. It's very difficult. Sometimes we'll be out in the middle of the bay. We see another police boat and often times we don't know who it is until we get closer. It'll say it, but, you know, maybe 150, 200 yards away, you might be able to see it, but we want it visible. We want people to know we're out there to kind of spread the word, you know, don't come in the gables and do stuff. 62 00:05:30,910 --> 00:05:32,450 I haven't seen the recent ones. 63 00:05:32,650 --> 00:05:33,370 They have some good ones. 64 00:05:33,510 --> 00:05:33,970 They have some others. 65 00:05:34,130 --> 00:05:35,370 I'm glad we're not doing that. 66 00:05:38,510 --> 00:05:39,750 We've done a few of them. 67 00:05:39,770 --> 00:05:42,630 We try to keep ours pretty pretty straightforward. 68 00:05:43,090 --> 00:05:43,630 It's a trend. 69 00:05:43,690 --> 00:05:44,770 All departments are doing it. 70 00:05:44,770 --> 00:05:47,150 I don't agree with everything, but you know, 71 00:05:47,290 --> 00:05:48,050 the educational ones. 72 00:05:48,130 --> 00:05:50,230 I think are great to get the message out there. 73 00:05:50,590 --> 00:05:53,090 The personal ones where we're talking about ourselves and all that. 74 00:05:53,250 --> 00:05:54,570 They can have that. 75 00:05:54,970 --> 00:05:56,310 I don't think it has a place, 76 00:05:56,490 --> 00:05:57,970 but that's why I'm not in that department. 77 00:05:58,910 --> 00:06:01,850 And I think we do a pretty good job with ours for the most part. 78 00:06:01,990 --> 00:06:03,050 We have a good crew. 79 00:06:04,270 --> 00:06:10,250 But yeah, we recently did a video for the coral gables cable channel. 80 00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:13,870 So I don't know if you've seen that one yet, they put it out on YouTube. 81 00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:17,610 And that's the big news. 82 00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:18,790 So we're moving forward. 83 00:06:18,830 --> 00:06:20,250 I'm excited about it. 84 00:06:20,310 --> 00:06:24,130 And then the other boat is the little one that'll allow us another boat that can go under the bridges. 85 00:06:24,690 --> 00:06:26,770 And that's still... 86 00:06:26,770 --> 00:06:31,990 say, well, I guess I'm going to be equipped with you won't they won't they? 87 00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:35,190 It's both are U.S. the CTO ones. 88 00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:39,490 They put down a little thing and they enter the low tide they come through. 89 00:06:39,750 --> 00:06:40,890 Yeah, no they do. 90 00:06:41,210 --> 00:06:42,850 Like our fireboat has that. 91 00:06:43,150 --> 00:06:48,190 But once you have the radar and all that other stuff up it gets it gets challenging weight issues. 92 00:06:49,030 --> 00:06:52,710 To see giving another example are contender the T top had to get welded again. 93 00:06:52,810 --> 00:06:54,110 We managed to break it again. 94 00:06:54,110 --> 00:06:57,470 all that weight up top, all that bouncing, we tend to drive them when we're trying to get 95 00:06:57,470 --> 00:07:01,630 somewhere, you know, it's not like going out fishing, we're going. And if it's bad weather, 96 00:07:01,650 --> 00:07:07,130 the boat is bouncing, so we developed some stress cracks in the T-top frame for the second time, 97 00:07:07,170 --> 00:07:11,310 and they had to put a cap on it and welded. We might even have some supports welded in. 98 00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:15,630 So when you're dealing with a folding T-top, that adds a whole other level of complexity and 99 00:07:15,630 --> 00:07:24,090 other failure point. But yes, that's why the boat will be great. That's why we're keeping the 100 00:07:24,090 --> 00:07:30,370 the ability you get up there. So that's good. And plus we get to visit you, which is, we don't 101 00:07:30,370 --> 00:07:31,950 do it as much as I'd like, but 102 00:07:34,220 --> 00:07:40,500 maybe questions. What were most of the citations? I don't have that 103 00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:46,240 in front of me, just historically can tell you they're almost always excessive awake. I mean, 104 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,080 sometimes we'll stop someone and they might not have the right safety equipment. On a lot of those, 105 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,260 we give them warnings, you know, if the flares are expired by a few months or something like that, 106 00:07:56,260 --> 00:08:02,480 if they're making a, you know, a goodwill effort to comply with a law where we try to be understanding, 107 00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:06,920 but when they're kicking up a wake and in the manatees zone, potentially damaging votes, injuring 108 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:13,660 manatees, all that stuff, we still exercise discretion, but they're much more likely to get a 109 00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:18,360 citation out for that. That's a nine out of 10 of our citations are for that. And the other 110 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:23,020 thing is we don't stop as many votes as, you know, the change in the law, we can't just stop a 111 00:08:23,660 --> 00:08:28,360 for a safety inspection, like we used to be able to. We need a violation or a suspicion of 112 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:35,080 something. So it's gotten a little bit harder to just stop people. It's good and bad, right? 113 00:08:36,340 --> 00:08:41,260 It's good if you're out voting, you're less likely to get stopped and meet your local marine patrol, 114 00:08:41,660 --> 00:08:46,220 but if we have something, we have to work a little harder to develop, probably cause to be able to stop them. 115 00:08:48,420 --> 00:08:52,260 I have I have a question. I made a report on Saturday. 116 00:08:56,220 --> 00:08:57,220 I'm a jet ski. 117 00:08:57,660 --> 00:09:03,620 Yeah. A jet ski by the blue by the bird road bridge. Okay, we've been having a few of those. 118 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:10,260 Yeah, and I took video and I've dealed at him or whatever, and then I called it in immediately, but I wonder, 119 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,240 I will be more of the end of the meeting. I hope to have an answer for you. 120 00:09:14,620 --> 00:09:16,100 You know, if they stop something like that, 121 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,700 I usually don't get a phone call. 122 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,540 Those citations get put in the system. 123 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,540 Unless it turns into a rest or something like that, 124 00:09:22,620 --> 00:09:24,260 then they'll write all right. 125 00:09:25,460 --> 00:09:26,540 We've been getting those. 126 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,660 There was a, 127 00:09:27,660 --> 00:09:31,780 yeah, so we had to find this looking up somewhere near Bird. 128 00:09:32,420 --> 00:09:34,300 And they didn't catch them in the act, 129 00:09:34,380 --> 00:09:36,980 but they had kind of phone call from a previous board member. 130 00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:38,600 Actually, we got a phone call, 131 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,920 went out, found the guy and he was a guy in a girl, 132 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,220 and explained to them like, hey, 133 00:09:43,220 --> 00:09:45,920 We didn't catch it doing it, but we know you were kicking up a wake. 134 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:46,940 You can't do that anymore. 135 00:09:47,260 --> 00:09:56,060 I got a nice, got a nice photo with their, what they're, the number on the jet ski. 136 00:09:57,940 --> 00:09:59,980 And I did a video, so you. 137 00:10:01,260 --> 00:10:07,240 I think are they just kids or were they were adults? They're young adults, 138 00:10:09,370 --> 00:10:13,610 right? They're kids to us, but legally they're probably adults. 139 00:10:14,030 --> 00:10:19,790 They're definitely, they look, they look, I wouldn't idea. I'd say early 20. 140 00:10:19,970 --> 00:10:27,110 Old children. They're old enough to know better. Oh, no, no, they're kicking them up a way. 141 00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:33,690 Um, yeah, I'll send that picture to my guys right now and yeah, let me uh 142 00:10:33,690 --> 00:10:36,950 I can send that on the uh and the video the one 143 00:10:37,390 --> 00:10:44,330 And so as you know, we can't write a ticket based on a video. I'm seeing it. But we have no problem if I see them 144 00:10:44,330 --> 00:10:48,690 Hey, we know you're doing this and they usually get the message if they don't then they have to learn the hardaway 145 00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:51,950 We catch them the next time and then there's no no breaks give it 146 00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:53,910 I'll give you my 147 00:10:53,910 --> 00:10:56,990 I don't do that. 148 00:10:57,150 --> 00:10:57,710 All right, great. 149 00:10:57,830 --> 00:11:00,530 But I have your your your conflict information as well. 150 00:11:00,710 --> 00:11:00,930 Sure. 151 00:11:00,990 --> 00:11:03,330 So I'll give it to everyone when we're not not on here. 152 00:11:03,510 --> 00:11:05,490 Because I want to get those phone calls. 153 00:11:05,690 --> 00:11:06,930 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 154 00:11:07,650 --> 00:11:08,450 But sure. 155 00:11:09,050 --> 00:11:11,670 Well, I mean anything else. 156 00:11:13,410 --> 00:11:14,190 I think we're good. 157 00:11:14,350 --> 00:11:14,810 That's great news. 158 00:11:14,950 --> 00:11:15,230 All right. 159 00:11:16,390 --> 00:11:17,190 Yeah, I'm excited. 160 00:11:17,950 --> 00:11:20,090 Less than a month away now or go about a month. 161 00:11:21,350 --> 00:11:22,690 We are planning something. 162 00:11:23,130 --> 00:11:24,730 Not sure when it's going to be. 163 00:11:24,730 --> 00:11:33,110 I don't want to do it the day it gets here you know how that goes. I want to get it in the water make sure everything works get it striped get everything set up and then we'll we'll have a date set up 164 00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:39,690 We were hoping to do it with fire. They're doing theirs later in September, but the boat probably won't be here. I'm a something 165 00:11:40,410 --> 00:11:46,530 You know, like I said, I think early October's another shipping up. Well, that is no we'd love to attend. Yeah, yeah, thanks on me 166 00:11:47,790 --> 00:11:49,670 I give the champagne bottle that we can't break 167 00:11:51,010 --> 00:11:52,410 That's embarrassing when it doesn't break 168 00:11:52,410 --> 00:11:58,730 it. They make special bottles for that that have scores in them. Oh yeah, if you pass that down. 169 00:11:58,790 --> 00:12:04,270 Pass it down. Perfect. I, um, you'll also hear a whistle on the video that was me when I, 170 00:12:04,410 --> 00:12:09,970 when they went up towards the bill more. Yeah. And inside got my phone and got my NFL whistle. 171 00:12:10,130 --> 00:12:15,790 I used for. Yeah. I went out there and started blasting out. And that's when they slowed down. 172 00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:21,950 I'm so they actually listened, but they, they heard that. They heard. You know, and it might just be 173 00:12:21,950 --> 00:12:34,230 ignorance, a lot of them just don't know, but some of them just don't care. And that's kind of the difference, right? If they don't know, we're happy to tell them if they comply. Well, then I don't know why they mustn't do, but I told them slow down our soul. 174 00:12:35,450 --> 00:12:43,770 You see in English, you know, doing actually, yeah, you got to get a run that runs some line with the last holes. It just glass bowls. 175 00:12:43,770 --> 00:12:52,470 something fast goals. Oh goodness. Yeah, all right. No, that's excellent news. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. And it's going to hear work. 176 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:58,420 All right. 177 00:12:58,540 --> 00:12:59,480 Hi, I'm from the secretary. 178 00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:07,360 Yes, we could review the painting items report. 179 00:13:12,290 --> 00:13:22,530 Why don't we just skip to the skip to the parts that actually have updates. Okay. Well, let's leave the rest out. Correct. That makes sense. So, 180 00:13:22,530 --> 00:13:27,210 My girl of pruning, we're getting ready to coordinate the actual 181 00:13:27,210 --> 00:13:32,510 schedule or coordinate that work, we expect to be completed by the 182 00:13:32,510 --> 00:13:39,690 end of October. So that's moving along as far as the 183 00:13:39,690 --> 00:13:45,670 Ruth Brian Owen Park, the consultant has completed the 184 00:13:45,670 --> 00:13:50,450 design for that area and has shared it with the community 185 00:13:50,450 --> 00:13:56,430 recreation director. The goal is to get feedback from Fred if you don't know 186 00:13:56,430 --> 00:14:01,690 Mr. Crusader. And then we will proceed to have community meetings and 187 00:14:02,430 --> 00:14:07,370 presented as the overall project. So that will be a little bit because there's 188 00:14:07,370 --> 00:14:11,130 going to be feedback back and forth. They probably have to go back and revise the 189 00:14:11,130 --> 00:14:17,390 drawings and then schedule some of the meetings. Hopefully before the holidays, 190 00:14:17,390 --> 00:14:20,450 If not, it will have to be after the office. 191 00:14:21,250 --> 00:14:23,350 So we get sufficient inputs. 192 00:14:24,310 --> 00:14:25,530 Question, a question real quick. 193 00:14:25,870 --> 00:14:26,150 Yes. 194 00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:27,090 Not on this. 195 00:14:27,210 --> 00:14:28,830 Does anybody have a question about Ruth Brown Park? 196 00:14:29,950 --> 00:14:30,070 Daddy. 197 00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:32,010 Would you mind it? 198 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:15,020 I want to jump back to the Riviera outfall. Yes. There is currently a construction fence around that, where the, you know, where there was dirt, some dirt, road and rock, people like would pull up officers would often sit parked their cars there. 199 00:15:16,220 --> 00:15:26,080 There's been some construction fence saying it looks like they're doing some kind of work over there. If it's not the outfall removal device, if it's like it looks like that's still. 200 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:33,160 Yeah, that's not still pending yes, and it's not the park, it's not the landscape 201 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,720 beautification project for the Marie for the manity park or whatever, there's 202 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:43,600 neither those two what is going on there. I will somebody suggested that it was 203 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:50,460 maybe the county working to repair the the motor for the dam that looks 204 00:15:50,460 --> 00:15:57,960 rusted and old, but I don't know. So would nice to know what is happening there? I will get back to you on that. 205 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,800 Because it's got everybody kind of, I was like, I saw the fence go up. 206 00:16:03,820 --> 00:16:07,700 Yeah, I thought they were doing the improvements and that was it. That was fast. 207 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:09,780 Yeah, so I thought that was going on. 208 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,320 And I know that we're still showing the spending. 209 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,460 So if it's none of those two things and what is it? 210 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:17,480 All right. 211 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,320 And the improvements will not happen until after that project. 212 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:29,980 it's going to be it's probably not going to go anywhere um it they'll damage whatever we 213 00:16:29,980 --> 00:16:36,620 install there so just so you know and then as far as the pontoon boat we reported that 214 00:16:37,220 --> 00:16:45,420 we were down that boat we're expecting to receive a December sometime and with um we hope that 215 00:16:45,420 --> 00:16:50,560 that goes well, so that's our proposed schedule for that. 216 00:16:53,030 --> 00:16:55,850 To receive the boat or the budget. 217 00:16:55,850 --> 00:16:58,430 The boat, the actual boat, yes. 218 00:16:59,950 --> 00:17:01,070 Very good. 219 00:17:02,210 --> 00:17:05,530 One more thing, I reached out to my immediate county. 220 00:17:05,690 --> 00:17:07,970 Regarding the legion bridge, replacements. 221 00:17:09,190 --> 00:17:12,070 They responded, and I'm not sure if I shared this 222 00:17:12,070 --> 00:17:16,010 during our last meeting, but they're still under the procurement 223 00:17:16,010 --> 00:17:16,790 process. 224 00:17:16,790 --> 00:17:25,750 And they hope to come back to us to present as far as the logistics and what would be expected from them and what they're going to do. 225 00:17:25,870 --> 00:17:29,350 The bridge repairs their place and correct. 226 00:17:30,530 --> 00:17:32,490 So I'm going to reach out around November. 227 00:17:35,230 --> 00:17:39,390 And hopefully they can attend either November, December, if not, we'll roll it over. 228 00:17:39,770 --> 00:17:42,810 But just so you know that they are still within the procurement process. 229 00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:46,190 I guess they're having some, you know, back and forth with that. 230 00:17:46,190 --> 00:17:55,630 so it's taking a little bit longer. But they're still claiming to be honest. Yes. Yes. That's what they said. Yes. 231 00:17:56,190 --> 00:17:56,190 That. 232 00:17:59,170 --> 00:18:12,290 I do have a new report on a dredging grant. We received a small amount for dredging to 125,000 or so. 233 00:18:12,290 --> 00:18:22,370 And we plan on using that those funds for the Ponds and US1 Bridge under underneath to do some of the DRAGING. 234 00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:33,370 So it would be about 100 feet upstream and then I want to say 300 feet downstream. 235 00:18:35,030 --> 00:18:40,890 The idea of the DRAGING is to make it deeper or the idea is to clean both both both. 236 00:18:40,890 --> 00:18:53,130 So that would be a lengthy project because right now we have to have our engineering consultants go start drying up and the permitting alone is a very lengthy. 237 00:18:53,590 --> 00:19:02,030 I would say six months to eat. It all it all depends budget that was allocated or that it was a grant. 238 00:19:02,030 --> 00:19:10,290 If that was a grant, it's a matching grant, a 225,000, and the city will match that, I believe. 239 00:19:10,630 --> 00:19:17,670 450 total. I want to say they want to go somewhere around 900,000, and we would have more 240 00:19:17,670 --> 00:19:24,350 information once we put that out to bid and see what that comes out to be. But the grant is 225. 241 00:19:24,470 --> 00:19:29,970 Yes, that's from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection at the EEP. 242 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:42,000 I think the time that my firm did it, did the design, it took us two years just for the core format. 243 00:19:42,620 --> 00:19:42,660 Yes. 244 00:19:42,820 --> 00:19:44,360 It was a problem. 245 00:19:44,740 --> 00:19:46,340 We had a problem with a person. 246 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,200 Yeah, I know it's lengthy. 247 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,540 Same thing with, you know, terms sometimes. 248 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,880 But we will do what we can. 249 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,580 That's Ponson, US one. 250 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:08,280 I don't know if you've seen the, the, the, the, the underline bridge. Yeah, that's yeah, that's, I mean, 251 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:16,860 throughout the world. Yes, there, and it's, yeah, there's the, the, the, the, the underline green looks great everywhere except on that bridge. 252 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:24,880 In my opinion, but I'd say I'm, but it's to be in my work. I'm, I had to get on my knees across the US from bridge, 253 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,140 So I could talk my head off. 254 00:20:27,780 --> 00:20:30,640 And it was nice to be able to kind of stand up. 255 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,300 I think I feel like, oh, thank God. 256 00:20:36,420 --> 00:20:38,760 The most under how we were pretty sure either. 257 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,180 It was, the fact, the notion that putting it at the same height 258 00:20:44,180 --> 00:20:47,680 wouldn't affect people was like, it's like, well, how long 259 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,960 do you expect people to crawl on their knees or hold a squat? 260 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,180 like it's like a little there we've seen the TikTok trends and you're like 261 00:20:55,180 --> 00:20:59,100 where everybody holds where people hold the squad to see who can go for longer it's 262 00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:05,180 like a no it's looking not a young man's game that's it's not a old man yeah yeah 263 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,980 but I'm already it's already looking great I think the height was you know would we love to 264 00:21:10,980 --> 00:21:15,780 have another three feet higher short but I mean again getting US one higher would be nice too 265 00:21:15,780 --> 00:21:20,580 but right now that is significantly different I don't think anybody has a problem in the highest 266 00:21:20,580 --> 00:21:24,960 sometimes with it. Yeah, the only thing, so I, or even take the, or even lower the 267 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:33,360 top. Walking exercises around that area, daily basis, and I actually, they had a 268 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:36,440 gate so I didn't walk the bridge, but I walked the area. The only thing that I didn't 269 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:42,940 notice that I thought I'd sort of mention it to the team here is that the way that 270 00:21:42,940 --> 00:21:51,900 they branded that bridge, they're calling it a balcony. So it's branded on the, on the, on 271 00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:55,440 as a fifties, not called how can you, but it's not something that's happening. 272 00:21:56,580 --> 00:22:05,660 And so just, you know, again, and I, and I get it rightfully, so a beautiful feature of that space. 273 00:22:06,580 --> 00:22:10,860 Just my, my caution is make sure we have the no fishing. 274 00:22:12,020 --> 00:22:12,920 Signs up. 275 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,180 Be a couple extra no fishing signs. 276 00:22:16,460 --> 00:22:17,900 Hang in. 277 00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:20,760 It's very daily just kept crossing that bridge. 278 00:22:21,980 --> 00:22:28,940 Yeah, it might have made the adjustments to the bridge and not taking this and not going to the other sheet and yeah. 279 00:22:29,540 --> 00:22:31,400 Yeah, they're probably branded that area. 280 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:32,920 Yeah, which is fine. 281 00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:34,040 The names of everything. 282 00:22:34,660 --> 00:22:35,100 Yeah. 283 00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:37,980 We get it because I can see it already. 284 00:22:38,140 --> 00:22:40,340 And our no fishing science can't go on that bridge. 285 00:22:40,620 --> 00:22:40,880 Correct. 286 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,660 That would have to be Miami County. 287 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,660 But they did mention that from the beginning that the no fishing science would. 288 00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:52,100 be installed. So let's wait for all of that to be complete with that. 289 00:22:59,790 --> 00:23:06,470 What's it? What's it? That's all I have. We're doing a bike tour to there to that location on the 20th. 290 00:23:08,210 --> 00:23:14,630 The tour on the 20th is parks and green spaces. So we're going to go see the blue road park. 291 00:23:14,630 --> 00:23:17,970 we're going to go see Dorothy Park and then we're going to go over to the underline. The 292 00:23:17,970 --> 00:23:23,170 underlying people will be there to where it's accessible, that we'll ride on it and they'll show 293 00:23:23,170 --> 00:23:28,150 the blue part's phenomenal. Yeah, it's actually I meant to report I have to do that in a 294 00:23:28,150 --> 00:23:35,270 game with that, but there's some some kids wet and graffiti up the the whole area that by the fence that 295 00:23:35,270 --> 00:23:43,230 goes down to the water on the the fence. Yeah, it was kids like to hang out underneath the bridge there. 296 00:23:43,230 --> 00:23:47,230 there are some missing. You know there's like where the pontoon used to go? 297 00:23:47,250 --> 00:23:54,090 I'm sorry I had a pontoon boat is supposed to go. That little area has been fully, fully 298 00:23:54,090 --> 00:24:00,450 graffiti already. I saw it the other day and I forgot to mention it, the blue road. I took a picture 299 00:24:00,450 --> 00:24:05,650 and I just forgot. I got all the blue road bridge, right? Yeah, where the access to the water used to 300 00:24:05,650 --> 00:24:11,590 be? Yeah. It's still accessible. So I do see people go down there even though they're signs. 301 00:24:11,590 --> 00:24:17,950 Yes, kids for the most part that are kind of, they just go and, yeah, but I see, I see families 302 00:24:17,950 --> 00:24:26,590 out there. Why is there a gate on the platform that not, not where it goes down to the water, 303 00:24:27,370 --> 00:24:33,570 but the platform on the west side? There was a, you know, go out and it's all fence-stemmed, 304 00:24:33,630 --> 00:24:39,730 but why is there a gate just to get to that? I mean, I do. I would have to find out to see what the purpose 305 00:24:39,730 --> 00:24:46,270 that is. Yeah. I mean at some point that might be where the water access is going to be. It could be. 306 00:24:46,310 --> 00:24:50,770 So maybe that was already there. I know that we had to do some revisions to 307 00:24:52,330 --> 00:24:59,190 to meet a permit requirement. I'm not sure if that's why. Okay. But I could definitely find out. 308 00:25:00,210 --> 00:25:06,670 A little library, my group, put there is all kinds of kids stuff. It's fun to see that. 309 00:25:07,170 --> 00:25:09,970 Okay. One more item. 310 00:25:10,210 --> 00:25:13,230 What's the other item? By the way, that's really great news, though. 311 00:25:13,390 --> 00:25:21,970 I think I would love. I'd seems that that is something, for what you're telling us, this is, like, we got a grant. 312 00:25:21,970 --> 00:25:36,030 There will be a match. It's nothing to get excited about in 2026 or seven, maybe eight. Probably nine. Hopefully before 30 fingers crossed. 313 00:25:37,510 --> 00:25:39,370 All right. But I think that's it. 314 00:25:41,390 --> 00:25:45,110 I love to know more about what that process looks like. 315 00:25:46,530 --> 00:25:52,990 Is it definitive or is it possible that the grant comes through but then the city doesn't match it or the big 316 00:25:52,990 --> 00:25:55,230 No, it that the grant has been awarded 317 00:25:56,650 --> 00:26:05,150 So it's it's for sure money. That's amazing. Okay, so that's good. And who's the design consultant so I could be really judging 318 00:26:06,770 --> 00:26:11,050 I'm not sure if we have somebody yet. I'm 319 00:26:11,050 --> 00:26:13,510 But I will definitely let you know. Yeah 320 00:26:19,390 --> 00:26:24,090 That's what happened last time with that two year delay where it's still wide and you have 321 00:26:24,090 --> 00:26:29,910 to see if city management at that time said just pay whatever mitigation they want. 322 00:26:30,450 --> 00:26:32,250 Mr. Chair. 323 00:26:32,810 --> 00:26:33,830 Mr. Chair. 324 00:26:34,990 --> 00:26:35,690 Okay. 325 00:26:36,110 --> 00:26:36,930 Mr. Chair. 326 00:26:37,090 --> 00:26:37,890 I don't fully understand that. 327 00:26:39,050 --> 00:26:41,070 Thank you. 328 00:26:41,090 --> 00:26:41,430 Yes. 329 00:26:41,730 --> 00:26:41,970 Order. 330 00:26:41,970 --> 00:26:48,090 Next. Thank you. I have one more item that I'll just 331 00:26:48,090 --> 00:26:54,130 kindly remind of me we do have our board report that's coming up that is to October 1st. 332 00:26:54,770 --> 00:27:03,130 I know that we did that last year. My plan is to send you last year's report along with the 333 00:27:03,130 --> 00:27:08,410 mission. I don't like that state of the state of the waterways and if we want to update that 334 00:27:08,410 --> 00:27:15,210 can go ahead and do so and then use that as a backup to to that report. If if that's okay with 335 00:27:15,210 --> 00:27:21,510 everyone. Yeah, that would be for October. You're going to get the next. I'm going to send it via email 336 00:27:21,510 --> 00:27:28,010 that way.
