of agenda items listed 13 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:59,359 on the agenda for June 2, 2015. 14 00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:01,240 Any clarifications on any agenda items? 15 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:07,319 OK,

start over-- receive an update from the Denton Parks 19 00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:17,400 Foundation regarding the Eureka 2 playground. 20 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,159 Thank you, Mayor. 21 00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:21,079 I'm going to ask Mr. Emerson Vohle, our director of parks 22 00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:24,640 and recreation, if he would introduce this topic 23 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,319 and make comments as appropriate. 24 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,519 Thank you, Mr. Vohle. 25 00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:32,200 I'm actually going to make minimal comments today. 26 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,040 I'm going to get up here and introduce 27 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,959 Molly Tampke, the executive director of our Parks 28 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,799 Foundation. 29 00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:42,760 They're the folks who are charged with raising the funding 30 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,120 to complete this project. 31 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,560 Molly, if you'd come up and-- 32 00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:01,799 Well, thank you for having me. 33 00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:04,840 And things are really going well, 34 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,920 I have to tell you, for Eureka. 35 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,639 We go and go and don't stop. 36 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,840 And it's really pretty fun. 37 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,550 So let me give you updates on kind of three different areas 38 00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:14,719 , 39 00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:17,039 the areas that are most-- well, two different areas that 40 00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:19,199 are most active right now. 41 00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:21,280 The first is our marketing efforts. 42 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,699 And we are receiving wonderful guidance 43 00:02:23,699 --> 00:02:27,599 from the parks and recreation communications and marketing 44 00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:28,479 staff. 45 00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:30,879 In addition, we have some very talented volunteers 46 00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:33,280 helping us to get out on all the social media. 47 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,039 We have two Facebook sites, with our Denton Parks 48 00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:36,759 Foundation 49 00:02:36,759 --> 00:02:39,280 and our Eureka 2 volunteers. 50 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,120 And you'll want to get on both of those 51 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,680 and stay glued to them, because we've 52 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,120 got lots of information coming out on those. 53 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,879 We have two websites, the DentonParksFoundation.com 54 00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:51,439 and Eureka2Denton.com. 55 00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:53,919 And again, those are being updated constantly, 56 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,000 so you'll probably want to catch up on that. 57 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,080 We have a Twitter feed, DentonParksFDN. 58 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,560 We have Instagram, DentonEureka2. 59 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,599 We also have a brochure. 60 00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:07,830 And I wanted to note that the brochures that our 61 00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:09,319 communications 62 00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:13,599 folks have designed for us have gotten two national awards, 63 00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:16,199 for a logo and for the brochure itself. 64 00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:17,740 And these are very prestigious awards, 65 00:03:17,740 --> 00:03:19,759 and I feel very lucky to work with people 66 00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:22,479 who win these kinds of things. 67 00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:24,439 And then the next thing you'll probably see 68 00:03:24,439 --> 00:03:26,120 is on your water bill. 69 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,960 We will have a statement in there, 70 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,919 or a line in there directing you to our website. 71 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,479 So hopefully all our water bill customers will give to us. 72 00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:36,699 But it's another way to hit a lot of households 73 00:03:36,699 --> 00:03:38,280 pretty quickly. 74 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,000 Now the really interesting stuff is the fundraising. 75 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,719 At this point, we are having so many events. 76 00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:48,599 The next one is at both Beth Marie's locations. 77 00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:50,680 This Thursday is the last day of school, 78 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,240 and they will donate some of their proceeds that day to us. 79 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,520 We have had events at Oak Street Drafthouse. 80 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,039 We are having one at Haley's. 81 00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:03,599 We're having one at Harvest House, Oak Street. 82 00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:05,199 And I'm sure I'm forgetting something. 83 00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:06,780 But we've got lots of folks coming to us 84 00:04:06,780 --> 00:04:08,159 and saying, can we do something? 85 00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:11,039 We had somebody who wanted to do a Taekwondo fundraiser. 86 00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:13,000 So we're having a lot of variety in the people 87 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,360 who want to support us. 88 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,879 And they're doing very well, actually. 89 00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:18,079 It's quite nice. 90 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:20,000 We are approaching, of course, local businesses. 91 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,279 We have a local volunteer who will talk 92 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,519 to all the different businesses, write letters, 93 00:04:24,519 --> 00:04:27,519 and that sort of thing to get support. 94 00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:29,000 We're working with the schools. 95 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,040 And at the end of this past school year-- 96 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,579 well, I guess it's still this school year-- 97 00:04:33,579 --> 00:04:36,959 we had a pennies war where we put a big orange Home Depot 98 00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:39,360 bucket out at each of the elementary schools. 99 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,720 And the children were encouraged to put as much change or 100 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,040 folding 101 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,639 money as they could. 102 00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:48,519 And then we would judge who was the winning school. 103 00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:49,800 And the winning school-- 104 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,259 I better not say it, because I'm not going to remember. 105 00:04:52,259 --> 00:04:53,160 I'm going to talk. 106 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,000 But don't quote me on that, because it was very close. 107 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,839 And what's funny is, even after it was over, 108 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,800 I had a couple of kids come up to me 109 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,959 with little baggies full of pennies and say, 110 00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:04,279 I forgot to put mine in. 111 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,240 So can you count it? 112 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,560 And so we would count it and put it in the right place. 113 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,160 So they really got into this. 114 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,160 And we'll do this again at the beginning of the fall, 115 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,199 because at that point, then, we'll 116 00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:13,959 be lots closer, of course, to the build. 117 00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:16,160 And we think we'll have a lot of excitement then. 118 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,040 So that's funny. 119 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,920 We're going to have some big prizes at that point. 120 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,800 The next exciting thing that I'm particularly curious about 121 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,959 and kind of well excited about is an online campaign 122 00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:29,360 through GoFundMe. 123 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,240 I don't know if we all are familiar with that. 124 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,519 That seems to be kind of the hot thing in online giving 125 00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:34,560 these days. 126 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,079 And we are getting the word out in every piece of social 127 00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:37,360 media 128 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,279 we can. 129 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,040 We've sent out flyers to the schools. 130 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,800 We've sent out flyers around town. 131 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,120 I know I was on my Facebook just today pushing that out 132 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,839 and asking lots of friends to post that. 133 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,519 We really don't know what will happen. 134 00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:52,439 You hear of people raising hundreds of thousands of dollars 135 00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:55,300 to buy, have a wedding, or get somebody out of the hospital 136 00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:55,560 . 137 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,199 We have no idea what will happen to us. 138 00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:59,319 But I feel like it's going to be really good. 139 00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:00,959 And we'll start at June 4. 140 00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:03,199 Though if you wanted to do it today, you could. 141 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:05,360 June 4, it'll end June 30. 142 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,199 So we're also having, right now, a really good major gifts 143 00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:11,160 campaign. 144 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,360 And I'm calling major gift anybody 145 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,360 who could give five figures or more, including six figures. 146 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,120 We will take those, too. 147 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,360 And we are having some luck on that. 148 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,399 As you know, the senior center gave us 149 00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:27,920 a gift of $16,900 about two weeks ago. 150 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,199 And that is designated for an accessible merry-go-round, 151 00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:34,959 which will be really nice, of course, for the children. 152 00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:37,680 And then this year-- excuse me-- this week, 153 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,639 we will confirm $110,000 in gifts 154 00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:43,199 that we'll be able to make public by the end of the week. 155 00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:46,079 So that'll bring us to about $122,000 156 00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:51,120 so far, which is about 24% of our goal. 157 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,399 To kind of stay on track, I would 158 00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:58,319 like, by the end of the summer, to be at $375,000. 159 00:06:58,319 --> 00:06:59,680 I think it's possible. 160 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,879 In fact, I think we'll do it with the kind of enthusiasm 161 00:07:01,879 --> 00:07:03,439 we're seeing right now. 162 00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:07,350 According to the folks at our playground consulting company 163 00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:07,519 , 164 00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:09,759 they're telling us that when you get into the pre-build, 165 00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:09,920 which 166 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,000 is kind of like the two months before you actually build, 167 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,519 you could expect about 25% of your gifts at that point. 168 00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:20,439 So again, I think we're on track to hit all that. 169 00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:22,019 But there is a special opportunity, 170 00:07:22,019 --> 00:07:24,040 and that's why I have my little backhoe. 171 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,920 And if you'll note in your packet, 172 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,769 for a gift of only $10,000, you can spend time in this back 173 00:07:29,769 --> 00:07:29,920 -- 174 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,759 no, well, it's not this one-- but a larger backhoe. 175 00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:36,560 And you can be the first person to hit your Ica-1 176 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:37,800 and bring it down. 177 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,759 And for only $500 more, you can choose your spot. 178 00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:44,079 You can choose exactly what you want to take down first. 179 00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:45,279 So think about it. 180 00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:50,800 And then for $7500, you get the second hit. 181 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,800 And for $5,000, you get the third hit. 182 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,240 And then after that, we'll probably 183 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,759 auction off other things. 184 00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:58,040 So we think that'll be a lot of fun. 185 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,470 So there's only one person who gets to take the first swipe 186 00:08:01,470 --> 00:08:01,720 . 187 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,560 You, Dalton? 188 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,000 Sorry, I'm sorry, Councilmember. 189 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,720 I need to get another question answered first. 190 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,600 Do we get to choose who's on that spot 191 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,680 when we take the swipe? 192 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,360 For another $1,000, yes. 193 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,040 Yes, so anyway, that's kind of a fun opportunity. 194 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,920 We are also seeking sponsorships 195 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,120 for particular pieces of equipment. 196 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,439 And again, if you'll note in your back packet 197 00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:26,519 what those different pieces of equipment are 198 00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:28,360 and the cost of each of those. 199 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,680 And just as a sideline, side note, 200 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,159 those costs were given to us by Play-By-Design, our 201 00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:35,519 playground 202 00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:37,320 consultant. 203 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,799 Probably the highest price thing in there is a double zip 204 00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:40,159 line. 205 00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:41,279 And that's really fun. 206 00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:43,080 We knew from the very beginning that we were 207 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,120 going to have a zip line. 208 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,200 It's 80 feet long. 209 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,879 But a lot of the parents said, you know, 210 00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:51,320 but we want every child, no matter what their abilities, 211 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,759 to be able to be on a zip line. 212 00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:54,879 And so we talked to Play-By-Design, 213 00:08:54,879 --> 00:08:56,440 and they're like, I'm just not sure 214 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,879 you can have one of those. 215 00:08:57,879 --> 00:09:00,039 Well, about two or three weeks ago, they came through 216 00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:01,480 and they said, we found one. 217 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:02,600 It's in Australia. 218 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,840 So we were going to get a double zip line from Australia. 219 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,240 One side will be just the handlebars, you know you do. 220 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,679 And the other one will have a seat, 221 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,960 so that even if you have mobility issues, 222 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,200 you can sit on that and go on the zip line. 223 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,200 So we're pretty excited about that. 224 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,600 On the different play components that you're seeing there, 225 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,279 we will attach donors' names to those. 226 00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:26,960 And we've already sold out of benches. 227 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,360 So you'll have to get a table or something 228 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,960 if that's your interest. 229 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,559 We'll have tables, benches, and handprint tiles. 230 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,080 And there's already some of those out 231 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,000 at the current Eureka. 232 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,039 You probably remember, and we'll do those again. 233 00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:44,519 Probably our biggest-- the thing that will involve the most 234 00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:46,279 people giving is our picket campaign. 235 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:49,000 And I did not bring my picket, unfortunately. 236 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,679 But some of you have seen those. 237 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,799 And what we'll do is have kind of a local celebrities 238 00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:55,480 campaign. 239 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,039 We'll ask-- I hope I'm not speaking at a school 240 00:09:59,039 --> 00:10:00,759 that the mayor will be asked to-- 241 00:10:00,759 --> 00:10:05,039 and Councilman Hawkins will be asked to show their picket. 242 00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:07,279 And we'll do some DTV video of them. 243 00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:09,279 We're also having-- and I think Glenn Farris, 244 00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:11,320 who's a member of our foundation board, the Parks 245 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:11,440 Foundation 246 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,840 Board, will be there. 247 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,039 We've also got the UNT president and the TWU chancellor, 248 00:10:17,039 --> 00:10:18,480 who will also participate. 249 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,960 And we'll get their name out there 250 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,080 so we can really get people thinking about it 251 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,960 and get familiar faces with that. 252 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,799 There are 1,500 pickets around the whole park. 253 00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:32,399 At $50 each, that's $75,000. 254 00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:35,360 And the pickets, even before we were very public 255 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,440 about this whole thing, people were calling us about, 256 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,200 can I buy a picket? 257 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,240 Can I have the picket from the last time? 258 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:40,960 The answer is yes. 259 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,759 So those are very, very popular. 260 00:10:43,759 --> 00:10:45,679 We'll also be doing some general solicitation 261 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,399 to individuals and to businesses. 262 00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:50,000 And those will happen over the course of the summer. 263 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,799 So that's where we are right now. 264 00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:55,200 And we will be talking with our Play-By-Design colleagues 265 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,320 tomorrow to start talking about the timing of building 266 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,879 their visits, their pre-site visits, site clearing, 267 00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:03,399 and all that sort of thing. 268 00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:05,279 So it's really fun. 269 00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:08,840 We've got about 160 days till we start building on November 270 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,639 9. 271 00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:13,080 Anything else, questions I can answer? 272 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,000 Any questions? 273 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,389 One question I have, on the list of the playground 274 00:11:17,389 --> 00:11:18,080 equipment, 275 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,919 is that all inclusive or are there other-- 276 00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:23,240 I mean, is that what is needed out there 277 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,080 once it gets fully built out as far as the equipment? 278 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:26,720 Yes. 279 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,220 Yes. 280 00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:28,320 Great. 281 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,279 Fantastic. 282 00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:32,480 Any questions? 283 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,720 I'm going to take my back up. 284 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:34,840 Thank you so much. 285 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:35,799 Thank you for that update. 286 00:11:35,799 --> 00:11:36,799 Thank you. 287 00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:40,509 And just for the benefit of some of our new council members 288 00:11:40,509 --> 00:11:40,840 , 289 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,399 Molly's position, the Parks and Recreation Department, 290 00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:47,360 came to the council two years ago 291 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,480 and asked for funding for a halftime position for the Park 292 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,159 Foundation. 293 00:11:53,159 --> 00:11:56,799 In exchange for that, or as a result of that, 294 00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,470 the Park Foundation took on the responsibility of 295 00:11:59,470 --> 00:12:00,559 fundraising 296 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,879 for the replacement of the Eureka playground. 297 00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:06,559 That's a half million dollar project that did not 298 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,679 have to be included on the CIP. 299 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,440 So that was one of the first ones to come off the CIP list. 300 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,519 So that's how we've come about this. 301 00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:18,600 And obviously, it's been a very, very successful 302 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,240 relationship 303 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,159 so far. 304 00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:22,240 We look forward to continuing it. 305 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,600 Molly, help me with dates. 306 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,320 The demolition date is-- 307 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,279 We want a decommissioning ceremony. 308 00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:29,039 Yeah, if you wouldn't mind just coming up. 309 00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:29,879 Yes, I'm sorry. 310 00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:33,480 No, we will have a decommissioning ceremony 311 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,960 for Eureka 1 on October 10. 312 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,759 And at that point, we will honor the folks 313 00:12:37,759 --> 00:12:39,720 who built the first one, because we wouldn't 314 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,000 be doing a second one if it hadn't been for all the folks 315 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,279 who volunteered out there the first time. 316 00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:46,720 And then that will probably be the date that we do the back 317 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,360 hoe. 318 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,440 Then we will spend about three or four weeks 319 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,960 preparing the site, doing soil testing, 320 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,519 just making sure everything's ready for the next build. 321 00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:58,759 Then on November 9, we'll have hundreds of volunteers 322 00:12:58,759 --> 00:12:59,080 gather, 323 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,440 and we'll build from the 9th through the 14th. 324 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,159 That's a Monday through a Saturday. 325 00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:05,399 And luckily, it includes Veterans Day, 326 00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:07,519 so a lot of people will probably be able to join us 327 00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:08,879 for a holiday then. 328 00:13:08,879 --> 00:13:11,240 And then after that, it probably still 329 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,399 won't be completely ready. 330 00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:15,179 I imagine our parks folks want to do a little bit of 331 00:13:15,179 --> 00:13:15,679 finishing 332 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,759 off just to make sure everything's in place. 333 00:13:17,759 --> 00:13:21,080 But hopefully by Thanksgiving, we can be playing on that. 334 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,440 Wow, fantastic. 335 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:24,919 Fantastic. 336 00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:27,500 All right, thank you very much. 337 00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:30,360 We'll go on to our next agenda item, which is 3B, 338 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,399 receive a report and hold a discussion, give staff 339 00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:32,740 direction 340 00:13:32,740 --> 00:13:36,120 regarding city council committee nominations. 341 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:36,759 Thank you, Mayor. 342 00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:38,879 I think our city secretary, Ms. Walters, 343 00:13:38,879 --> 00:13:42,720 is going to open this discussion for council's 344 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,440 consideration 345 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,759 on your committee assignments. 346 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,360 Mayor and council, in your packets, 347 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,480 you had your current council assignments. 348 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,789 And this is about the time when you look at your 349 00:13:56,789 --> 00:13:57,440 assignments 350 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,039 and decide if you want to make any changes to them. 351 00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:05,000 I think it would be easiest if I went board by board, 352 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,840 or committee by committee, and see 353 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,519 if there's any changes that you'd like to make on those. 354 00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:14,000 As far as the agenda committee goes, 355 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,240 the ordinance mandates that the mayor and mayor pro tem 356 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,559 are members of that committee. 357 00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:23,159 So those two, Mayor Watson, Mayor pro tem Gregory, 358 00:14:23,159 --> 00:14:25,919 are set for that spot. 359 00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:28,879 On the airport committee, the current members 360 00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:33,039 are Council Member Hawkins and Council Member Johnson. 361 00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:38,129 There is a vacancy created by former Mayor pro tem Engelbre 362 00:14:38,129 --> 00:14:38,480 cht. 363 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,259 And Council Member Wasney has expressed an interest in that 364 00:14:43,259 --> 00:14:43,679 . 365 00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:46,639 I believe in my absence last week, 366 00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:49,039 Jane sent out an email to all of you 367 00:14:49,039 --> 00:14:53,480 asking if you had any interests or changes 368 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,519 that you wanted to make. 369 00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:56,600 And she received two responses. 370 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,559 So I won't say which two. 371 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,960 So there is a vacancy there on the airport committee, 372 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,320 council committee. 373 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,519 Yes, ma'am. 374 00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:15,679 Because I've never done this before, 375 00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:19,120 because I offered to be on there. 376 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,480 Is this when I come forward and say, 377 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,519 I would like to be on that committee? 378 00:15:23,519 --> 00:15:25,720 OK, so I'd like to be on that committee. 379 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,480 OK. 380 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,480 You know, we thought it was a great idea 381 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,399 to have the council member from district three 382 00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:39,799 on that committee, because the airport's in that area. 383 00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:42,600 So I think that's a great idea. 384 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,440 Great. 385 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,120 Audit finance committee. 386 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,480 Current members are Council Member Hawkins and Mayor Watts. 387 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:53,000 There is a vacancy left by former Council Member Ryan. 388 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,080 No one has expressed an interest other than-- 389 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,320 It's all about the money, folks. 390

So we do have two vacancies. 494 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,440 And Council Member Briggs has expressed an interest 495 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:02,480 for one of those spots. 496 00:20:08,319 -->

500 00:20:16,279 --> 00:20:18,200 Which one? 501 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,880 Convention and Visitors Bureau? 502 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:21,359 Yes. 503 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,359 Is that a reaction to me? 504 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:22,880 No. 505 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,359 It's really not. 506 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,279 It's really not. 507 00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:29,039 I'll stay

So we may-- 512 00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:35,279 Not really. 513 00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:38,039 So when he comes, and if we're still in open session 514 00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:41,240 or later on, he might can work behind the scenes to-- 515 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,440 Well, why don't we put him on some since he's not here. 516 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,400 There you go. 517 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,920 Well, on that point-- 518 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:46,440 Yes. 519 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,000 And I guess this is more of a legal question, or a due 520 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,359 question, or both. 521 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,440 I was on that for a couple years, if not four years. 522 00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,640 And I don't recall three Council Members ever 523 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,119 filling that. 524 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,559 And because it's being part of a larger 525 00:21:05,559 --> 00:21:07,240 committee in the community. 526 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,200 So I'm wondering if, hypothetically, 527 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,359 if he's interested in kind of rolling off, 528 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,759 if two is sufficient for that. 529 00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:19,480 I'd have to look at-- 530 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,519 I think it states that there's three. 531 00:21:21,519 --> 00:21:22,920 I think all of them have three. 532 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,720 I'll have to pull that up and look for it. 533 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,240 I can do that. 534 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,000 Maybe one person just never went. 535 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,160 I think that's what it was. 536 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,440 Well, Council Member Briggs is interested. 537 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,759 So should we drop her in there?

Roden had a meeting. 639 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:46,680 Oh, I want to-- 640 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,680 I'll do it. 641 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,880 I want that one. 642 00:24:48,880 -->

653 00:25:12,759 --> 00:25:14,279 If somebody wants to serve on that, 654 00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:16,519 because I found that sometimes on serving on that one 655 00:25:16,519 --> 00:25:19,440 and then coming into council, it just 656 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,880 makes it difficult sometimes to vote on something 657 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,119 and come here and vote on it. 658 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,000 So if somebody's got a burning desire 659 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,359 to be on the Downtown TIFF board, 660 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,240 I certainly would relinquish my position. 661 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,359 If not, that's OK. 662 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,240 I'll continue to serve with no problem. 663 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:34,759 Thank you all. 664 00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:35,400 Appreciate that. 665 00:25:38,519 --> 00:25:41,119 You're welcome. 666 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,440 And the TURS number two, those members 667 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,720 are the same as the EDP members. 668 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,759 So it'll stay Johnson and Watts. 669 00:25:47,759 --> 00:25:49,680 Yes. 670 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,119 OK. 671 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,839 Did we figure out on-- yes, I think on the Historic Land 672 00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:55,200 mark 673 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,279 Commission, the vacancy was filled by Council Member 674 00:25:57,279 --> 00:25:58,079 Wasney. 675 00:25:58,079 --> 00:25:58,400 Yes. 676 00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:58,880 Correct. 677 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,559 With Roden, Johnson, and Wasney. 678 00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:01,160 Yes. 679 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,400 I think that takes care of all of them. 680 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:04,680 Any-- 681 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:05,160 Yes, sir. 682 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:05,960 Question if I can. 683 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:06,640 Yes, you sure. 684 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,759 I just didn't get on the development code. 685 00:26:10,759 --> 00:26:12,440 Wasney, Johnson, and Briggs. 686 00:26:18,279 --> 00:26:20,039 Yes, Kevin. 687 00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:23,039 And maybe this takes some historical research. 688 00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:25,519 But I seem to remember meeting with Property Maintenance 689 00:26:25,519 --> 00:26:26,119 Code. 690 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,460 I think you were on it back when you were on council last 691 00:26:28,460 --> 00:26:28,799 time. 692 00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:32,880 And we had a final meeting to wrap up whatever. 693 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:38,000 And I thought we agreed at that point to dissolve it. 694 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,599 Because it was ad hoc, it had kind of 695 00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:40,759 finished its current mission. 696 00:26:40,759 --> 00:26:42,880 But I may be wrong. 697 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,319 So just a matter of whether or not 698 00:26:44,319 --> 00:26:45,799 it still exists as an ad hoc. 699 00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:49,319 Well, I remember when I got off of it. 700 00:26:49,319 --> 00:26:51,640 But I think it has been-- 701 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,319 I think there's been members assigned to it. 702 00:26:53,319 --> 00:26:55,759 I just don't think it was-- it's more of an ad hoc 703 00:26:55,759 --> 00:26:56,559 if there were issues. 704 00:26:56,559 --> 00:26:58,680 Because I know we've said that we're going to review 705 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,920 that code periodically. 706 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,240 So if it's still in existence, it's worth keeping on. 707 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:03,920 Yeah. 708 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,880 Or if we need to wait and just not have the committee. 709 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,960 And then if we're going to review it, then either 710 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,920 appoint one or just do it the entire council. 711 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,559 So it's really the council's pleasure on that. 712 00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:16,599 I really don't have a preference on that. 713 00:27:16,599 --> 00:27:17,920 What are your preferences on that? 714 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:18,799 I don't have a preference. 715 00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:20,559 More it was a question of whether or not 716 00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:23,880 we actually legally dissolved it as an act of council. 717 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:24,380 OK. 718 00:27:24,380 --> 00:27:25,119 So that's the question. 719 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:25,599 All right. 720 00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:27,079 Got you. 721 00:27:27,079 --> 00:27:28,160 We'll research that. 722 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,880 Thank you. 723 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:34,200 We will take these appointments then and update your list 724 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,759 and have them up at your spots up in the council chambers. 725 00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:41,519 So when you get to that position or point in your agenda, 726 00:27:41,519 --> 00:27:44,759 you'll have the updated list that you can approve. 727 00:27:44,759 --> 00:27:45,279 All right. 728 00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:46,839 Any questions, comments? 729 00:27:46,839 --> 00:27:47,920 Thank you. 730 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,359 Thank you. 731 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,319 Well, that will end our open session
