1
00:00:04,430 --> 00:00:13,430
All right. Department updates. All right. Well, good evening. Thank you all for being here.

2
00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:20,030
We just have a few updates of kind of what's going on this summer. So we are in the middle

3
00:00:20,030 --> 00:00:23,870
of July's Parks and Recreation Month, as you can see on Carol's shirt, the power of Parks

4
00:00:23,870 --> 00:00:30,370
and Recreation. So we've done about half of our event. So last week we had a copy

5
00:00:30,370 --> 00:00:32,990
in the park, Out in Harmony had some good conversation there.

6
00:00:33,890 --> 00:00:42,170
We had a great time at the family day out last Saturday, or not this Saturday, the one

7
00:00:42,170 --> 00:00:42,590
before that.

8
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:44,390
That's what that picture is right there.

9
00:00:45,470 --> 00:00:49,910
And so there was a really good turnout there, didn't realize you could get snow cones in

10
00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:52,890
like a Caprice Unpouch now, so that was a really big hit.

11
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:58,450
But what we have coming up is this week, we have our dive-in movie at the community

12
00:00:58,450 --> 00:00:59,710
pool on Friday.

13
00:00:59,710 --> 00:01:02,210
So the gates will open at 730.

14
00:01:02,890 --> 00:01:08,950
There'll be open swim for about an hour or so until it's dark enough for us to start the movie, which will be Luca.

15
00:01:09,930 --> 00:01:12,550
This is a free event for anyone in the community.

16
00:01:13,010 --> 00:01:15,450
So we're looking forward to that.

17
00:01:15,790 --> 00:01:18,750
And then on Saturday morning, we have backyard painting.

18
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:25,470
This is going to take place at Chofi Club Park, kind of in that pavilion area right when you enter the park.

19
00:01:26,210 --> 00:01:31,230
Just some fun kind of outdoorsy type crafts for the kiddos.

20
00:01:31,850 --> 00:01:36,590
Last year we had some birdhouses and rocks to paint, so things similar to that as well.

21
00:01:37,390 --> 00:01:43,910
And then we'll finish out Parks and Rock Month with Treats and Tales next Wednesday out at the dog park.

22
00:01:44,130 --> 00:01:46,510
So it will be treats for humans and dogs.

23
00:01:47,550 --> 00:01:50,290
I love your titles, Dive-In Movie.

24
00:01:50,290 --> 00:01:55,750
Yeah, that one I feel like is one of our least original ones because there's a lot of other

25
00:01:55,750 --> 00:02:00,970
communities that do the dive-in movie but I was giving props for the treats and tails and

26
00:02:00,970 --> 00:02:05,230
backer painting. I think Daniel came up with all that. So he's the one who designs this nice

27
00:02:05,230 --> 00:02:09,650
flyer for us every year. So we're having fun for sure.

28
00:02:11,770 --> 00:02:13,270
Then just wanted to give you a quick

29
00:02:13,270 --> 00:02:21,130
week, recap of July 4th. It was a long but very fun day. Honestly, it was hot, but it

30
00:02:21,130 --> 00:02:25,110
was really great weather for all of our events. If you remember last year, there was a nice

31
00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:29,150
downpour of rain at about 4.30, so we were thankful we didn't have that this year.

32
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:36,930
So the Patriot 5K and Fun Run, we moved that location to the pool this year. We have

33
00:02:36,930 --> 00:02:40,850
still struggled with Byron Elson being closed and finding how to best do that 5K.

34
00:02:41,610 --> 00:02:46,410
And so some of the feedback last year when we did it at Beck was just trying to get out

35
00:02:46,410 --> 00:02:47,330
once he finished the race.

36
00:02:47,650 --> 00:02:50,710
So by moving it to the pool, that helped us with traffic flow tremendously.

37
00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:55,810
So if you were a fast runner, you could get your medal and your snacks and leave.

38
00:02:56,730 --> 00:02:57,890
So yeah, it was good.

39
00:02:58,010 --> 00:03:01,330
We had about 563 participants register for the 5K.

40
00:03:03,090 --> 00:03:05,690
Then moving on to the parade of Patriots.

41
00:03:06,110 --> 00:03:09,570
We had 42 entries, but that doesn't necessarily mean 42 cars.

42
00:03:09,570 --> 00:03:13,710
that's probably, I mean, one entry could have three or four or five, you know,

43
00:03:13,790 --> 00:03:19,110
jeeps or Broncos or something like that. So we're on par with about what we do

44
00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:23,130
every other year. So that was a great time. And then we moved into our

45
00:03:23,130 --> 00:03:28,550
celebration. The kind of new element that we had this year was a Ninja

46
00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:35,470
obstacle course. Oh, sorry. No, I was just, as far as the parade, there

47
00:03:35,470 --> 00:03:40,610
There always seems to be a problem with a length of time between one part and the other

48
00:03:40,610 --> 00:03:41,070
part.

49
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:43,170
And I was on the Parkview side.

50
00:03:44,750 --> 00:03:47,050
So we had no idea what was going on.

51
00:03:47,450 --> 00:03:48,030
The delay.

52
00:03:48,590 --> 00:03:49,430
On the delay.

53
00:03:49,850 --> 00:03:53,030
And so people got, I mean literally, they were like, is that it?

54
00:03:53,290 --> 00:03:53,870
Is it over?

55
00:03:54,250 --> 00:03:55,930
Yeah, you're like, where are the floats go?

56
00:03:56,290 --> 00:03:56,430
Huh?

57
00:03:56,850 --> 00:03:58,410
You're like, where are the rest of the floats, right?

58
00:03:58,590 --> 00:03:59,290
I know, exactly.

59
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:05,310
And then I realized talking to a guy yesterday and he goes, well, there was a float that

60
00:04:05,310 --> 00:04:08,390
was too tall that ran into the tree or some damn thing.

61
00:04:08,410 --> 00:04:11,430
Yeah, I think part of it kind of flew away

62
00:04:11,430 --> 00:04:12,830
into the tree a little bit, too.

63
00:04:14,950 --> 00:04:17,530
So that's something that kind of lesson learned on that.

64
00:04:17,630 --> 00:04:18,910
We do have height requirements on that.

65
00:04:19,310 --> 00:04:20,990
We went ahead and let it in this year.

66
00:04:21,250 --> 00:04:23,610
And so we'll probably just hold it a little bit tighter

67
00:04:23,610 --> 00:04:26,010
to that in the future because it did cause some issues.

68
00:04:26,450 --> 00:04:27,310
Which float was it?

69
00:04:27,810 --> 00:04:28,810
I think it was Barra's.

70
00:04:29,810 --> 00:04:31,130
Was it the big cake one?

71
00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:31,650
Mm-hmm.

72
00:04:31,650 --> 00:04:34,290
Yeah, it was it was a really cool

73
00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:39,750
I flowed I mean at least part of it, but it seems like even with the homecoming

74
00:04:40,350 --> 00:04:45,070
There's always a gap for some reason. I don't know what it is. I don't know if we can have

75
00:04:45,730 --> 00:04:50,490
People along the way that can just keep the traffic flowing or something

76
00:04:50,490 --> 00:04:55,190
But especially on the back side where we have no idea what's going on, right on

77
00:04:55,690 --> 00:04:59,650
Tropic Club Drive. Yeah, we're just like I like I don't know

78
00:05:00,770 --> 00:05:06,150
That's good feedback. Yeah, we'll try to keep refining that to keep the flow going for sure.

79
00:05:06,350 --> 00:05:09,630
Was the amount of floats more or less?

80
00:05:10,210 --> 00:05:15,690
We usually average around the 50 mark, so somewhere in that 45 to 50, so we were pretty

81
00:05:15,690 --> 00:05:17,510
on par with what we've done in the past.

82
00:05:23,350 --> 00:05:29,850
Just back to the celebration, kind of our new element was that Ninja course, so we had fun

83
00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:34,790
kind of testing that out and had a few thousand people enjoying the fireworks and

84
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:38,470
went off off a little bit closer to the time frame they were supposed to this

85
00:05:38,470 --> 00:05:43,890
year so yeah it was a good time. Are there any other questions or feedback

86
00:05:43,890 --> 00:05:48,390
related to July 4th or anything? I saw the city manager shooting t-shirts and

87
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:52,810
then fall and trip. Yeah. So there are not going to be any workers comp claims from the manager.

88
00:05:52,990 --> 00:05:56,750
Oh my gosh, on this street. Wait, the city manager, he's the one that fell? Yeah.

89
00:05:56,750 --> 00:06:01,890
Oh, really? He's not giving up that T-shirt gun, so you'll have to take whatever injury comes.

90
00:06:02,190 --> 00:06:04,770
He had his little clan that were following him.

91
00:06:05,150 --> 00:06:08,970
Yeah, yeah. So he had them at the parade as well, yeah.

92
00:06:10,010 --> 00:06:17,590
So he, off the council float, they shot a bunch of them, and then he had some at the celebration as well that he was shooting off.

93
00:06:17,750 --> 00:06:25,330
It was actually our Texas Town of Patriotism shirts, so we officially have a logo of the Texas Town of Patriotism,

94
00:06:25,330 --> 00:06:31,970
And so, we had some shirts that were, you know, but yeah, so this year he actually, yeah,

95
00:06:32,530 --> 00:06:36,870
we had to get some backup cannons because last year he ran out and didn't have enough juice

96
00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:39,070
to shoot all the t-shirts, so.

97
00:06:39,410 --> 00:06:42,210
How come that float was so far in the back?

98
00:06:42,650 --> 00:06:47,430
Normally the city council float is like in the, it wasn't, it was towards the front.

99
00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:53,610
Not the one I saw, it was in the back, it was in the second tier of people that

100
00:06:53,610 --> 00:06:54,050
came through.

101
00:06:54,050 --> 00:07:00,050
So we have like a group of dignitaries that go first and then council follows behind them.

102
00:07:00,110 --> 00:07:05,810
So there's usually the fire truck, the police truck, some of our dignitaries, some veteran

103
00:07:05,810 --> 00:07:08,230
groups and then council follows behind them.

104
00:07:08,490 --> 00:07:12,690
It was in the back, if you would check, because I was surprised how far back it was.

105
00:07:12,970 --> 00:07:13,170
Okay.

106
00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:13,830
So.

107
00:07:14,050 --> 00:07:14,210
Yeah.

108
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:16,510
All righty.

109
00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:20,890
I just wanted to highlight the Tritons.

110
00:07:21,450 --> 00:07:26,310
They on July 11th and 12th attended the regional swim meet.

111
00:07:26,510 --> 00:07:32,770
So we had 114 athletes compete at regionals, which is one of the largest teams to participate.

112
00:07:33,230 --> 00:07:39,390
So we definitely have a really big showing of athletes in the TAP program.

113
00:07:40,010 --> 00:07:42,170
So that was over two different days.

114
00:07:42,170 --> 00:07:47,830
And then we are sending 65 athletes to the state competition,

115
00:07:48,090 --> 00:07:51,150
which will happen July 30th through August 2nd.

116
00:07:51,190 --> 00:07:52,970
So in order to get to the state competition,

117
00:07:53,130 --> 00:07:56,770
you have to be fast enough and qualify at regionals.

118
00:07:56,910 --> 00:08:00,330
And so we had 65 athletes who qualified,

119
00:08:01,010 --> 00:08:03,690
and multiple of them qualified in multiple events.

120
00:08:04,090 --> 00:08:07,030
So we are very proud of them.

121
00:08:07,130 --> 00:08:09,490
And that includes both youth and masters level summers.

122
00:08:09,490 --> 00:08:14,810
So it's cool to see some of them are families going down where it's a mom and a dad and

123
00:08:15,450 --> 00:08:19,230
Both their kids all qualifying for the state meet and so they'll get to go down

124
00:08:19,230 --> 00:08:23,410
To college station and compete and hopefully make some memories and have a good time

125
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,940
So this is to you. I guess sorry. Oh, yes. Okay. All right on to

126
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:34,380
well

127
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:41,420
Department updates number two recap of the recreation facility public hearing and town council discussion

128
00:08:42,060 --> 00:08:45,240
at the July 13th Council meeting.

129
00:08:45,660 --> 00:08:49,580
Yes, so you all have already heard a lot about this,

130
00:08:49,660 --> 00:08:54,980
and this presentation was very similar to what you guys experienced with the joint meeting with Council.

131
00:08:55,900 --> 00:09:00,720
So that was what was presented last Monday and a public hearing a chance for people to come up

132
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,460
and voice either positive feedback or concerns regarding the rec facility.

133
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,280
There was only two people that came up and provided public comment, and it was all positive.

134
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:16,160
And so there was a little bit of discussion, but just to kind of run through what Council

135
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,440
saw last week as a reminder, this all kind of stemmed from the strategic plan which helped

136
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:28,240
guide our parks and rec master plan to establish a space for all ages and abilities for educational

137
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,760
and recreational recreation activities.

138
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,780
We are still supporting the master plan through this process.

139
00:09:36,780 --> 00:09:43,000
That was something that was very heavily highlighted once that was published as

140
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:50,920
that the need for this space for all ages and so we're really looking to expand

141
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:56,080
our recreational opportunities to add more community programming to just

142
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:02,760
overall increase the quality of life for participants. So this is a similar

143
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:09,660
side to what you saw with council as well. Just as a reminder, why this facility is so

144
00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:15,320
great is that it helps solve our need with camp, right? We have a facility that right

145
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:21,640
now at the annex building doesn't easily fit the number that we need for summer camp, doesn't

146
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,660
have enough restroom facilities, isn't really conducive to super hot days like this week

147
00:10:26,660 --> 00:10:34,160
for being outside and so this facility would provide an indoor gymnasium. It has two classes

148
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:41,240
that are off of the gymnasium to provide additional space, has plenty of restrooms. There's a restroom

149
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:49,580
in each of the classrooms as well as in the indoor gym. There are multiple furnishings

150
00:10:49,580 --> 00:10:53,600
and equipment already there so we bought the building as is. So Daniel and I were

151
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,720
talking about, we're a little excited, a little nervous to get into the building and kind of

152
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:03,480
just see all that's in there and pull it all out and see what's salvageable. But having been a

153
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,040
previous daycare center, we think that there's a good amount of stuff that will help save us

154
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:12,620
some money that we can still use. We love, love, love the location. It's about as central as

155
00:11:12,620 --> 00:11:18,900
you can get in Shopee Club. And so some people, and I didn't even really notice this until

156
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:23,440
we start talking about it, that when you think about hot works and kind of those buildings

157
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,940
you forget that there's all this space behind it where this building is. And so it's a pretty

158
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:33,940
kind of expansive space back there. So this would give us up to 8,600 square feet of

159
00:11:33,940 --> 00:11:39,920
usable space, which is more than what we have now. So not only does this help solve

160
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,960
our problem with camp, but it provides a space for us to do year round programming

161
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,340
for all ages, which is just not really what we've been able to do right now.

162
00:11:49,580 --> 00:11:51,940
Madison, what's the game plan for the other facility?

163
00:11:53,940 --> 00:11:59,560
So essentially, we'd break the lease, and then I believe it's the mud will be working

164
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:05,100
with the active adult group to still provide a space for that to be used in that way.

165
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:11,700
It turned out to be a win-win, because what we do is a lot quieter, and the space

166
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:15,760
is perfect for us. We're going to knock down a few walls, but other than that.

167
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,780
So I guess I'm confused. Why couldn't we work with the mud?

168
00:12:22,780 --> 00:12:28,520
It's not that we couldn't work. It was that it was the space even to renovate it for the

169
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,860
money that we were going to put in probably still wouldn't meet what we're getting with

170
00:12:31,860 --> 00:12:35,880
this building for the same amount of money, if that makes sense. So it wasn't that

171
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,880
we couldn't necessarily. It was that even if you expanded it, the amount of parking

172
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,960
that we have at this new facility and like getting buses in an hour and having the playground

173
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,620
that's already built on the outside of this facility that we'll still be able to use.

174
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,820
We're just getting more bang for the buck basically.

175
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:56,800
So the Act of Adult Facilities completely off the seas books, that's their own deal.

176
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,480
That we're going to be working and partnering with the MUD, yes, and off of ARC, yes.

177
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:01,360
So they are?

178
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,160
The Act of Adult Group, yes.

179
00:13:03,260 --> 00:13:04,160
Not to partner with ARC.

180
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:05,160
Correct.

181
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:13,420
and we will still be providing active adult programming and so something that

182
00:13:13,420 --> 00:13:19,280
we've talked about is that we will have a gym space right so something that we've

183
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,220
struggled with in that facility is exercise classes right there's not

184
00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:26,500
there's conference rooms right there's not really a space to do it's really

185
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:32,680
office yeah exactly Tai Chi or yoga or chair yoga or whatever so it's not

186
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:37,680
that we are not going to be doing active adult programming. We will just be doing some

187
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:40,760
different programming than what that group is looking to do over there.

188
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,260
So you're not, the city is not subsidizing them at all?

189
00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:44,920
Not at the same time.

190
00:13:44,940 --> 00:13:45,980
And hasn't to date.

191
00:13:46,140 --> 00:13:46,380
Okay.

192
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,960
Now that no budget at all, in the two years we've been open.

193
00:13:53,400 --> 00:14:01,020
We have purchased supplies over time and things of that nature, but Carol's right,

194
00:14:01,020 --> 00:14:04,020
there hasn't been staff provided to them at this point in time.

195
00:14:06,450 --> 00:14:06,850
Thank you.

196
00:14:07,010 --> 00:14:07,130
Yep.

197
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,020
So this is just another view of that.

198
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,100
So you can see the gem right here.

199
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,080
This is like a little hallway, the two classrooms.

200
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,100
This would be like the entrance right here.

201
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,280
And then there's a little bit of an office space right here.

202
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,620
And then this is when you're coming over to a club drive.

203
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,540
This is the building right here.

204
00:14:29,220 --> 00:14:33,400
And this right here is the playground area that is part of the agreement for us to

205
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:34,000
be able to use.

206
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:41,120
We're not purchasing the playground it will still stay tied to this building for I don't know just helping them sell but

207
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:48,520
They are giving us access to basically lease or without a cost use this side of the facility

208
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:55,900
Are you going to be adding any kind of food prep or snack prep space there because we noticed there wasn't a kitchen

209
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:59,980
No, there is not a kitchen and we won't be adding that there is a

210
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,740
In this little room right here there's a sink and space for a mini-fridge, but that's kind

211
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:08,980
of the extent of what we'll have there.

212
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,620
So this is just a concept rendering, but all of

213
00:15:18,620 --> 00:15:22,440
this is pretty accurate, minus these tables in the middle of what this classroom looks

214
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:28,300
like. So again, we're just excited about the potential to continue expanding programming

215
00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:31,240
for all ages, all groups, all different activities.

216
00:15:32,140 --> 00:15:34,640
And then the ability to increase revenue, right?

217
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:35,800
So these are rentable spaces.

218
00:15:36,420 --> 00:15:38,500
I had somebody reach out today looking for a space

219
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:41,920
for their mother's 90th birthday party, right?

220
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:44,320
And we don't really have a space to provide somebody

221
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,300
to do that right now.

222
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,780
And so when we have availability,

223
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,300
we'll be able to do things like that.

224
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,120
So just to kind of recap on meeting community demand

225
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,820
and the camp right now,

226
00:15:57,820 --> 00:16:04,520
we can only max out at 60 children in the mud and X building related to our

227
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:09,860
students of care and the number of bathrooms we have. This facility would

228
00:16:09,860 --> 00:16:14,940
allow us to definitely increase that closer to 100 if we wanted to. If we

229
00:16:14,940 --> 00:16:18,340
might not start there, we might incrementally go up a little bit, but

230
00:16:18,340 --> 00:16:22,640
we're able to further meet the demand of the community. Our camp sells out

231
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,900
quickly. There's always a demand for more spots, so we're excited to be

232
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:28,580
able to provide more space for that.

233
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,880
So once you close escrow, do you have a time frame?

234
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,760
Yeah, we'll talk about it in just a minute.

235
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,900
Yep, it's on there.

236
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,220
And this is just to give you some numbers,

237
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:43,100
comparison-wise, of different camps in the area.

238
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,220
I will say places like Great Vine,

239
00:16:46,420 --> 00:16:48,040
they have multiple different camps, right?

240
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,360
They can have 30 to 45 or more or can't do it all

241
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:53,960
or something like that.

242
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,080
they have multiple camps going on at the same time so they're being able to

243
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:04,460
host even more kids than what is listed here. So financial strategies, so the

244
00:17:04,460 --> 00:17:11,940
town has about 2.2 to purchase a building, make renovations for this

245
00:17:11,940 --> 00:17:17,580
project. So our purchase price was 1.8 estimated closing costs are

246
00:17:17,580 --> 00:17:26,600
25,000. And then we've set aside about 275 for property improvements. So the good thing

247
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,540
about this building is that it is already wired with an alarm system. It had a camera

248
00:17:30,540 --> 00:17:38,580
system, so it's just upgrading it to our needs and our equipment. Looking to replace

249
00:17:38,580 --> 00:17:42,120
the flooring in there. The carpet's pretty bad. Want something that's a little bit

250
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:46,420
more kid-friendly, easier to pick up the spills, things like that.

251
00:17:47,540 --> 00:17:49,880
And then just general equipment.

252
00:17:50,580 --> 00:17:55,860
We'd also love to get a partition in the gym so that we can have two usable spaces at

253
00:17:55,860 --> 00:17:56,140
once.

254
00:17:56,540 --> 00:18:00,240
You could have a soccer practice on one side and a basketball skills practice on another

255
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,360
side, things like that.

256
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,580
So when we're talking about operational costs, over here this is kind of what we've

257
00:18:08,580 --> 00:18:14,940
estimated for both a full-time and then four to five part-time staff, as well as

258
00:18:14,940 --> 00:18:21,000
utilities, supplies, equipment, and then the maintenance fee for the group of

259
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:27,860
buildings over here. So and then what we're hoping to bring in is about 37.5

260
00:18:27,860 --> 00:18:35,040
for operating revenue. So we feel like there's a lot of potential for rental

261
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:43,880
revenue for program revenue. So we're excited about being able to offset that a little bit.

262
00:18:47,420 --> 00:18:51,160
So just updates. This is a little bit different I think than the last time we all talked together,

263
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:58,380
but on the due diligence items, the inspection did come back and there is one HVAC unit that is

264
00:18:58,380 --> 00:19:05,260
not operational. So we will have a company come out and repair that. So we've been factoring

265
00:19:05,260 --> 00:19:11,300
that into our repair cost. The foundation inspection came back and was in good condition.

266
00:19:12,340 --> 00:19:17,380
We are in the middle of a leak inspection, so there's one spot pretty much right where

267
00:19:17,380 --> 00:19:21,680
this HVAC unit is for one of those front rooms where it looks like there's a dried water

268
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,780
spot in the ceiling. And so it doesn't look like it's an active leak, so we're kind

269
00:19:26,780 --> 00:19:30,740
of betting it's related to the HVAC when it went out. So we're still waiting on

270
00:19:30,740 --> 00:19:39,760
the results of that. And then the appraisal did come back, and it was finalized at $1,815,000,

271
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,180
so we were pleased with that. And then our survey update is still in progress.

272
00:19:47,950 --> 00:19:48,690
Any questions

273
00:19:48,690 --> 00:19:52,010
on those items? Why are you laughing?

274
00:19:52,010 --> 00:19:53,270
It always seems to work out that way.

275
00:19:57,090 --> 00:20:02,430
So the town has created a webpage to keep people informed. There's also a spot on

276
00:20:02,430 --> 00:20:07,470
there for anyone who has ideas of what they'd like to see in the building to submit some

277
00:20:07,470 --> 00:20:08,230
feedback to us.

278
00:20:09,490 --> 00:20:14,070
So we're really excited about getting this off the ground and running.

279
00:20:14,290 --> 00:20:19,370
And so to answer your question about timeline a little bit, I might have skipped over it

280
00:20:19,370 --> 00:20:19,590
in here.

281
00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:24,770
But as far as closing, we will close right now.

282
00:20:25,230 --> 00:20:28,110
The goal is August 31st is the anticipated close date.

283
00:20:28,110 --> 00:20:33,890
So, it was going to be a couple days sooner, but the previous owner has some rentals and

284
00:20:33,890 --> 00:20:37,710
events going on in there, and we were like, we'll just wait till those are done so that

285
00:20:37,710 --> 00:20:39,270
those, we don't take that on.

286
00:20:39,890 --> 00:20:43,250
So August 31st is the anticipated closed day at this point in time.

287
00:20:43,670 --> 00:20:46,970
So the city owned the building, but who's managing the parking lot?

288
00:20:47,070 --> 00:20:49,270
Is that like an HOA type of business arrangement?

289
00:20:49,950 --> 00:20:51,950
I don't know exactly what they're called.

290
00:20:52,510 --> 00:20:53,490
It's like a condominium.

291
00:20:53,650 --> 00:20:54,210
Yeah, condominium.

292
00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:55,670
All right.

293
00:20:55,670 --> 00:20:59,970
And so that's where there's like a $20,000 fee per year.

294
00:21:00,710 --> 00:21:02,630
And so we won't even be responsible for maintaining

295
00:21:02,630 --> 00:21:04,110
the landscaping or anything like that.

296
00:21:04,190 --> 00:21:05,730
That fee covers the maintenance of all of that.

297
00:21:06,890 --> 00:21:10,470
Is there a, do you have an idea when you're going to let

298
00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:13,110
the public in to just kind of see what it looks like,

299
00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:15,810
not necessarily close on it, but just kind of get it

300
00:21:15,810 --> 00:21:19,570
that way you might solicit some additional ideas

301
00:21:19,570 --> 00:21:23,050
as far as things that you might be able to use it for?

302
00:21:23,050 --> 00:21:27,110
So we're kind of hoping to get that from these presentations and things like that.

303
00:21:27,670 --> 00:21:31,630
I don't know that there will be a time in the state that it is right now that we'll let the public through,

304
00:21:32,530 --> 00:21:36,390
but we will definitely be posting updates on our project page and stuff like that.

305
00:21:36,710 --> 00:21:47,570
As far as opening the facility for use, we're anticipating about six months of project time and kind of innovations.

306
00:21:49,150 --> 00:21:53,510
So, you know, late January, early February, we might do a little bit of a soft opening

307
00:21:53,510 --> 00:21:56,230
in the sense of accepting some rentals and opening the space for that.

308
00:21:56,990 --> 00:22:01,690
But our true kickoff that we would be aiming for is in March with a spring break camp,

309
00:22:02,050 --> 00:22:03,690
which would be the first time we've done a spring break camp.

310
00:22:05,310 --> 00:22:07,290
And then we would do a ribbon cutting at that time.

311
00:22:08,090 --> 00:22:12,590
And that would be a time to really make sure we had programs lined up for the spring.

312
00:22:12,890 --> 00:22:16,770
And so once that spring break camp hit, we would kind of be full fledged, ready

313
00:22:16,770 --> 00:22:19,490
to go with programs already lined out for the spring and then into the summer.

314
00:22:20,870 --> 00:22:24,830
And Chase has mentioned this before, but like we've done for the summer, we'll have a program

315
00:22:24,830 --> 00:22:29,590
guide where people can get all that information ahead of time, see what classes will be available.

316
00:22:30,690 --> 00:22:34,870
The thing with recreation program, especially since we haven't had a rec facility before,

317
00:22:35,090 --> 00:22:38,070
it's going to take a little bit of time to kind of figure out what people want to

318
00:22:38,070 --> 00:22:38,650
see in there, right?

319
00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:41,910
So there will be lots that we will offer.

320
00:22:42,210 --> 00:22:45,370
There might be some classes that get canceled due to low enrollment, and that's kind

321
00:22:45,370 --> 00:22:50,650
of our cue back of hey that's not the class that we need to offer here so it'll be a little

322
00:22:50,650 --> 00:22:54,570
bit of trial and error for a little bit until we kind of figure out what people really want

323
00:22:54,570 --> 00:22:54,850
to see.

324
00:22:55,330 --> 00:22:59,110
Is there is Brandon set cost recovery goal for you guys?

325
00:22:59,810 --> 00:23:04,730
So not as like for the building as a whole but we will follow what we adopted in the

326
00:23:04,730 --> 00:23:05,350
master plan.

327
00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:05,630
Program?

328
00:23:05,890 --> 00:23:12,230
Yeah the rec program plan so we will be using that to outline our fees and you

329
00:23:12,230 --> 00:23:13,650
know class sizes and things like that.

330
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,060
Parks Board, one of the best things that you guys can do is help us share the information

331
00:23:21,060 --> 00:23:25,320
about the Rec Facility as we're soliciting information for it, sharing it on Facebook

332
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,860
when you see posts from the town and whatnot to all the private groups at Tropic Club that

333
00:23:28,860 --> 00:23:29,580
we can't post in.

334
00:23:29,940 --> 00:23:33,980
It's really a great way to help us out in spreading the word not just about the

335
00:23:33,980 --> 00:23:35,860
Rec Facility but other programs we're doing as well.

336
00:23:36,580 --> 00:23:41,220
I will say we had a coffee in the park last week and it was a topic of conversation

337
00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:46,000
and it was interesting to hear that everybody seemed to have heard about it, right?

338
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,620
and so the word is definitely out there about this building. We just want to make

339
00:23:49,620 --> 00:23:53,720
sure we're bringing the programs that people want to see and getting to use it

340
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,760
the way that they really want to see it be used. So yes, definitely to Daniel's

341
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,300
point. And this website is a great place to direct them to. It has all the

342
00:24:01,300 --> 00:24:04,180
information that we have laid out in this presentation and we've talked

343
00:24:04,180 --> 00:24:08,680
about at Park Board meetings and Council. And then it also has ways to

344
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,580
connect with us or submit suggestions on there.

345
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,360
Any other questions or

346
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:25,500
discussion. Can you give us an update on the pool? Yes, so we are currently

347
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:29,760
waiting on some stage structures so if you've noticed I've been out there in

348
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,260
the last week there are some new structures over on the kiddie pool.

349
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,380
There's the big pavilion, I think it's a 12 by 12 and there's four smaller

350
00:24:40,380 --> 00:24:46,500
pavilions that are bordering the kiddie pool. When they went to go install

351
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:52,840
the poles, there were some bolts issues, so they corrected those, USA Shade did, installed

352
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,720
the poles, poured the concrete, so the structures are stable, but the shades did not arrive

353
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:03,380
at the same time as the poles, so those are set to be installed on Wednesday this week.

354
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:09,620
Then the connected shade structure, which is between the kiddie pool and the lap pool,

355
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,340
If you go out there, you see a bunch of squares all lined between there.

356
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,760
That is set to start on Tuesday next week.

357
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,480
So that will take a couple of days because they will have to, again, pour concrete, wait

358
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,820
for it to dry before they can set the shade on there.

359
00:25:24,140 --> 00:25:29,080
But hopefully by the end of next week, you'll see that middle connected shade structure

360
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:29,660
in there as well.

361
00:25:30,260 --> 00:25:33,940
And then the last one will be the one that goes over the kiddie pool.

362
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:43,100
I believe it's August 7th, 6th or 7th around there, where they are set to begin installation

363
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:45,440
of that structure.

364
00:25:47,020 --> 00:25:49,900
How's the attendance been so far?

365
00:25:50,580 --> 00:25:50,980
At the pool?

366
00:25:51,260 --> 00:25:51,420
Yeah.

367
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,600
I would say just about average, I don't know that we've seen a massive increase or anything

368
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,480
like that, but I do think that that kiddie pool is being heavily used.

369
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,140
It's very popular.

370
00:26:03,140 --> 00:26:06,240
I know for me, when I take my daughter out there, I can't get her back to the splash pad.

371
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,840
So yeah, the kiddie pool has definitely been a hit for sure, and we definitely see a lot

372
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,920
more people sitting in the shade structures that are up now, even when we're talking about

373
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,440
some lessons in the morning or some team and stuff like that, the parents are choosing

374
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:23,320
to sit over there.

375
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:27,460
So definitely having the extra shade has been helpful for sure.

376
00:26:27,740 --> 00:26:30,200
Did we host a meeting at the pool this year?

377
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:30,820
We did.

378
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:31,560
How did that go?

379
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,000
how was the extra pool deck?

380
00:26:33,460 --> 00:26:34,540
It was really good.

381
00:26:36,140 --> 00:26:38,260
So what people ended up doing is just posting up

382
00:26:38,260 --> 00:26:40,980
underneath the pavilions in that grass area where they normally

383
00:26:40,980 --> 00:26:42,100
would have just set up a tent.

384
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,320
And I think some people still put their tent in there,

385
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:44,820
because they could.

386
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,060
The pavilions were tall enough.

387
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:50,560
We actually hosted more swimmers this year

388
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:51,440
than we did last year.

389
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,020
So what we did differently is we

390
00:26:54,020 --> 00:26:56,280
did open the gates to the splash pad.

391
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,660
We put staff out there to make sure nobody got in the water.

392
00:26:59,660 --> 00:27:04,400
but we opened the space around it and then put a speaker system out there to

393
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:10,200
allow people space to expand. So, and it didn't take over our whole splash pad

394
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,980
either, so it still worked out really well. Great. Yeah, and we ended up the

395
00:27:14,980 --> 00:27:18,880
loungers that are in front of that flower bed right now. We removed all of

396
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,340
that. We removed all the stuff underneath basically almost all the

397
00:27:22,340 --> 00:27:25,620
furniture to make room for all the tents and it still worked out.

398
00:27:25,620 --> 00:27:34,260
Awesome. Good questions. Anything else? I did get a comment from a neighbor about

399
00:27:34,260 --> 00:27:40,640
the trails in the park. Okay. About how right now they're off limits to mountain

400
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:46,240
bikes. Okay. And his his request and this is probably not sure what that

401
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,820
process is but is to find a way to split time between mountain bikes and

402
00:27:50,820 --> 00:27:56,600
horses just a comment okay yeah that's good feedback I appreciate that even if

403
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:02,260
it was like you know every other day odd days even days yeah in a way that you

404
00:28:02,260 --> 00:28:05,960
know that mountain bikers can go use those trails okay yeah we'll make note of

405
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,800
that we'll bring it up with Chase and the crew yeah we really only have one

406
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,920
designated mountain bike trail it's I think it's that Lakeview trail that

407
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,780
goes around and it's pretty flat mountain biking trail yeah has a nice view but

408
00:28:16,780 --> 00:28:26,620
it's pretty far. Okay. Thank you. Any other comments? All right. Moving on to regular items.

409
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:34,300
Consider approval of the June 15th, 2026. Joint parks and recreation board slash town
