8
00:02:41.519 --> 00:03:01.680
and the activities that you offer. So I I don't have this. Um I'd like to see >> the only different reason we've historically done it post Labor Day >> to avoid the parking initiative.

9
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:28.640
>> Uh but this year is so late 12. So that that be the only difference is just kind of argue >> I think because of the timing of kids going back to school that's probably >> okay. All right. Um I will make a

15
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:20.240
>> Next special agreement application today. Um so Mike had requested uh on behalf of the King300 committee I believe correct on behalf of them um to utilize the

16
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:38.560
Opinsky field complex on September 19th um >> and the rain date of the 26th uh to utilize the property all day uh pretty much for uh an event called the old home

17
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:54.960
day. So Mike's here to share a little bit more about that and then um I'll just ask some questions that are part of the application after the commission. >> So um when I was here the first time we just basically threw it around that that's the dates that we were looking

18
00:05:54.960 --> 00:06:13.840
for. Um, unfortunately I didn't get the it didn't get squared away if I be voted on. Uh, we my paperwork is now in um I guess part of it is with the liquor license that we're looking to do with

19
00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:31.039
um that was thrown around, but again, like I said, it was never voted upon. I'm going to answer any questions with it. Um I do have basic idea of what we're going to be doing that particular day. Um but right now the timing of

20
00:06:31.039 --> 00:06:46.639
being legalized the fourth the main issue is and we just need to get the date and [clears throat] the permit approved and then going forward the very next selectors meeting it will be brought before uh with 42nd brewery to

21
00:06:46.639 --> 00:07:04.319
get their license for that day. It's just they can't do it until we get it approved from the recognition. Um I know parking is always an issue. So I might as well address that now. Uh so right now we have no idea how many

22
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:20.720
people car are not going to show up to this function. I did have a lot of time invested with the battle of badges. So now I'm going full steam ahead with this. Um right now obviously using the complex I do plan on having at least at

23
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:37.360
a minimum two police officers. I did already talk with the police chief. Um if we feel that it warrants or if you guys feel that it wants more than two um right now the way it's going to be coming into it the function is actually

24
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:53.520
going to be from 4 to 8 where we obviously need a couple of hours beforehand to get it all set up before people show up. [snorts] So that's why we're looking at, you know, at least at 12:00. I did reach out to Kyo. Kyo has it all locked off in their function

25
00:07:53.520 --> 00:08:09.199
calendar. Um, so the date is basically cleared on their end for sports. Um, the way the two police officers will work, sorry, I just had a very long day and I'm still from Saturday. Um, so, uh,

26
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:24.240
the two police officers, one will be inside driving around basically with a cruiser, uh, making sure there's no other major pling issues at that point. The other officer is going to be up top of the hill, allowing people, um, making sure

27
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:39.440
traffic can get in so there's no bottom landing at the um, at the top of P Street and um, Summer Street. There is a fire detail for the fireworks that's all set and put in place. Um, as far as how many firefighters and all that, that's

28
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:54.480
that was all determined fire chief, but that is already set up to have that split away. Um, the main issue that has come up is the parking the the vol parking issue coming into the complex.

29
00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:10.640
So from where the hilltop ends and where that starts, I plan on having um the DPW well might be called D. Um we're going to have the uh [snorts] [clears throat] street trees and parks.

30
00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:26.000
We want to see if we can get some barriers just to make sure that nobody parks on either side there along with the police officer making sure we're paying attention with that. We are going to have a search team hopefully um squared away to help with assisting with planning with that. So we'll make sure there's no parking issues at the very

31
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:41.279
beginning. We'll make sure there's no parking issues for the one resident that's that is at in the in street. And then the other bottleneck issue that I always come across um is basically going from the the one field going into the

32
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:57.120
main complex. People like to park on either side of that and that will be called offset. We make sure that there's nobody parking on either side of that. That should eliminate any issues of getting vehicles or emergency vehicles in and out. That's also going to be the

33
00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:13.279
job of a police officer that's in there um to make sure that that's all squared away and if there's any concerns or issues that they're going to address it. If as we get closer and we put it up on the website um if we start we're going to do an event gauge. If we start seeing

34
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:30.000
something like National Night Out and there's like 500 people that are looking to do that, then we're going to work on getting satellite parking with buses going to and from. We're going to look to get permission from uh the intermediate uh elementary school since closed at that time, you know, during

35
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:47.200
that time had people park there and have a shuttle bus to and from the function between 4 to 8. Um, the way we're looking to do or what we're looking to do is 4 to 8. Sun set is roughly around 7:00.

36
00:10:47.200 --> 00:11:03.920
It's going to start getting dark to put the the lights on for the football field um to illuminate that area where we're going to be. And then just before the fireworks go off and the music is going to be coincide with the fireworks, I

37
00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:20.480
hope to have a couple of uh cruises and fire engines inside as well. We're going to shut the lights off on the football field. I'm going to have hopefully one of the far fields just a little bit of light illumination if we need it. Otherwise, you're going to have all the

38
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:37.360
lights going police at night and then the fireworks going to go off as soon as it's a whole 15 minutes of fireworks, I believe, for a while. But that's that's the cost of doing business. Um, and then prior to that point, we turn the lights back on to get

39
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:52.880
everybody out. At that point, both officers will be at the top of the hill directing people out and making sure that there's no bottle back into no issues with anybody else. Um, that's the meat and potatoes of it

40
00:11:52.880 --> 00:12:08.639
as far as what we're going to have there. Obviously, we're going to look to have the uh license for 42nd Brewery. They will have uh stuff there. We're going to have water. We're going to have two food trucks that are on the town list just so we know. um along with a

41
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:27.279
dessert truck which some difference between one truck or the other but um one's gonna have a food and the other like dinner food dinner style food and then the other one's going to have like dessert waffles ice cream and stuff like that. Um, right now we feel that that's

42
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:43.200
all we're going to need at this point until we find out or until we start getting hits and see how many people stop that and come to the function that I may have one or two more of the food trucks. But the ones that are booked and square away with it that are also on the

43
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:58.399
town list again want to reiterate that um they're aware that if it looks like it's going to be a lot of people and they can't accommodate that amount of people then they know that there may be another truck that's going to be

44
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:17.920
um there will be a DJ there. I mean we'll test the games. Um, as far as the games and the functions and stuff, I mean, really the only one that we're going to have is the uh the golf ball th with prizes and stuff that we've been trying to get some prizes and baskets

45
00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:35.440
and then the other one is I've called many different paintings we're going to stick with muffin um try to get the uh valves um and make sure that they clean up because we'll try cleaning up with that afterwards. Missy, she's been wanting to

46
00:13:35.440 --> 00:14:03.440
do that for >> you, >> she's wanted to do that over here. >> No. and and some of them are going to some are going to help recoup the cost of uh helping with the cost of the the

47
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:18.160
details and stuff like that. So that's the meat and potatoes. I don't know if there's anything else you need to know that um that's not covered that I didn't cover um or concerns or issues. And then I also if that's okay after that's done

48
00:14:18.160 --> 00:14:36.560
I could just give you like a recap. Um and then tell you what what I'd like to do but >> I I just had a couple questions just more um uh logistical not logistical but for concession stand are you going to be

49
00:14:36.560 --> 00:14:52.560
using the concession stand? >> Just the bathrooms. So no transfer of the concession stand. And as far as the bathrooms, um, are you going to be in need of any kind of custodial support or are you guys going to manage that? Like >> to get custodial custodial support, so

50
00:14:52.560 --> 00:15:10.320
I'm going to see if facilities is able to, you know, help me out with that. But otherwise, some of the volunteers >> hopefully hopefully it's going to handle it, but again, depending on how many people are there, if there's going to be too many people, if there's a lot of people there, then I'm looking to get

51
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:26.639
parties. Um, and then the other things we talked about already, signage, we don't really have to deal with EMS plan. Um, you already kind of talked about that with your traffic plan. >> Um, looks like we're going to have going to have um

52
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:43.839
a fire leaked out there as well, but some we're going to have the tower truck there as well. Um, so immediate medical attention will be rendered right off the bat until the ambulance makes it way through. Traffic plan you already talked about with the details implied music you're

53
00:15:43.839 --> 00:16:00.480
going to have but obviously respectful of the neighbors alcohol yes you already mentioned the food vendors that's own food and then um no big tents or anything like that just small bottles just you know maybe for

54
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:16.800
the DJ for a couple little uh advertisements and stuff we're going to have comfort we will have um we'll have clinician has come down and some of us start interacting stuff. >> Yeah. >> Again, it's all right now is probably

55
00:16:16.800 --> 00:16:31.920
going to full steam ahead, but there's nothing that I feel that would warrant something special like you guys, but it's all like stuff, >> right? >> And then um I know you mentioned the fireworks, so that's been approved

56
00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:47.360
already through the fire department. So that'll improve. There's all biodegradable stuff that comes down just in case conservation is concerned about it. But they were they're also aware of it already. >> That was all I had just as far as the

57
00:16:47.360 --> 00:17:04.319
the property side of things. I didn't give them a chance to um reach out to the fire chief today just to ask a couple questions too because I know when they bring in the fire work and bring him in with the big truck and so I was worried about what that truck was going to look like on the field. We've

58
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:20.319
had some conversation about the big trucks in the field and he was making sure that they brought the smaller trucks um to deliver the fireworks and that he was also they had to do special and whatever >> and then also going to be I didn't

59
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:39.760
mention that. So everything's going to be on the football field. The fireworks are going to be right. >> So there's no interaction with people that are, you know, >> I didn't even think about the irrigation. >> Dance in the grass, you know, we get a

60
00:17:39.760 --> 00:18:11.200
big truck out there. Yeah. [clears throat] So that would be my only thought to think about obviously. >> So we did he was aware of that. size up on the field. And I did also ask um I guess

61
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:47.679
I um wrap up Yeah. So at the end of poly [clears throat] basically don't need But everybody's going to be the officer

62
00:18:47.679 --> 00:19:42.080
at the top of the hill. Everybody usually There is a gate. There's no but like where we had that area. >> Uh I don't know if it's a vehicle size

63
00:19:42.080 --> 00:20:25.720
to go back that way. [laughter] >> So these are my That's and the other obviously it is raining obviously it's 72 >> that was Yeah.

64
00:20:27.840 --> 00:20:58.000
So yeah, I already time year somebody good time they would do it. Um I would like to make a motion to approve the special permit for hope day talent sponsored event

65
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:35.200
celebration. Date is September 19th86 all day per ask of the eventual do she's Yeah. All right. Uh, roll call. Joe Cunningham. Hi.

66
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:53.360
>> Missy Baitman. >> Yes. >> Joseph Cunningham the third. >> I will um this over to you with the confirmed permit with everything else. Um, I think you're good to go. >> Awesome. You want me to start? So, you guys

67
00:21:53.360 --> 00:22:08.799
>> Yes. I was going to ask have the battle bad just go. >> So, that absolutely fantastic. even [snorts] paid attention to me with uh problem >> because there was a lot of people on there. I in my opinion I don't want to move that big of an event for one day

68
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:28.159
again. Um so when I actually probably anyway um I'm already the dates for next meeting Saturday. Um and also KY [snorts] um this way it's a little less of a

69
00:22:28.159 --> 00:22:49.280
shorter day because about shorter days >> one and done [laughter] >> just for teaching from experience considering you started uh my first year doing it in fire this

70
00:22:49.280 --> 00:23:06.559
Um I had 10 teams this round was 30. >> Wow. >> So now a lot of teams so I have like Boston wants to come in Boston come in. There's a lot more teams that

71
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:21.120
come in [clears throat] as well as all the towns all the teams are coming in this year already talking about next year. And I think kind of the idea is if I do a Saturday and Sunday, so it's Saturdays, one tournament, sign up for the one tournament or you can sign up

72
00:23:21.120 --> 00:23:37.280
for both do two tournament. So it's not all right, the winner of this one has to go play on Sunday. So it's a one day, but what's the third example and [snorts] actually the other two they like to come down, they would rather come down, get a

73
00:23:37.280 --> 00:23:53.039
hotel, actually spend the night in that. So it keeps on growing to that extent. I've limited to 20 to 20 which would make it a lot more manageable. That would be like but the same everything else it's just

74
00:23:53.039 --> 00:24:09.919
growing. Now we're we're at that point now that everything I built self sustains and now I can start I can start donations and stuff give back to you guys of course and um and I will admit I did have a

75
00:24:09.919 --> 00:24:25.440
complaint um it was a parking complaint it was about the uh tenants or the residents that live at um states house everybody whether it was in fact anybody else came

76
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:40.880
in to watch the game came in for a round and the one issue was we had five or six cars which happened to be spectators that obviously didn't get and I didn't have it combed off at the time

77
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:58.080
from the hilltop right so I got two wheels on the sidewalk so when the cruiser came down I actually was going up there [clears throat] cruiser was coming in there was another car didn't. And there was one enough room for both them to get by. But they were upset about that. I actually went

78
00:24:58.080 --> 00:25:13.039
as far as trying to call off the driveway, make sure that nobody would park find their driveway. And they actually got very upset with me for calling off the driveway. Um, but talking to Dr. Davis, I will include her

79
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:31.279
a little bit more. can't really I mean when you're parking on a baseball field you're parking really anywhere unless it's unless people are also as long as my opinion but you are the

80
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:48.640
record my opinion even even in the back I was a five to 10 cars one big mish punch but it was everybody that was together that little pop if somebody needed to move I made two announcements two answers to have to

81
00:25:48.640 --> 00:26:03.919
move and they move them right away and they put me on. So it was a very different communication the I have gets it out to everybody and then they everybody communicates very well. They listen to it and pay attention to it. So it worked out very well. So that I just wanted to bring that to your attention

82
00:26:03.919 --> 00:26:22.000
ahead of time that that was the issue. That's the only way I could see rectifying that that solution rectifying that issue. Um, even if you had the detail, even if you had people walking, it would not have made a difference. But the next year,

83
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:40.183
what I would like to do is I'm going to see if I can get combs and just block those sides and put no fingers up and just so if you don't see a sign, you don't see a cone. Oh, who am I kidding? I got this. [laughter] you left me just enough.

84
00:26:40.183 --> 00:26:54.080
[clears throat and snorts] >> So like I said like what I will be doing is looking to get the date for the 7th and the ethics together. Um but it will be a two day um it's a Saturday and Sunday. This is just before national

85
00:26:54.080 --> 00:27:09.279
um and that and that's the only issues I have with that. Great. >> I'm glad the weather found out we had a little irrigation glitch in Florida and we took care of that. >> Irrigation thing. Thank you very much for that. I went down there. I had

86
00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:26.480
everybody like I got everything out there because I had hockey sticks and everybody was trying to pick up every little piece of paper. It was I left that place cleaner than what it looked like before. The only thing Mike got to do which I don't remember how many pales were which was 12 pales that I brought

87
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:52.720
12 um and I appreciated the extra 12. >> Well, congratulations. You've done a lot of work to make that perfect beginning to where it is now. That's pretty cool to have all those communities that want to come from far away.

88
00:27:52.720 --> 00:28:12.399
>> It just seems to keep on building further and further down I should say. >> Yeah. >> Um just like >> I don't want to take a couple times. I know people.

89
00:28:12.399 --> 00:28:37.679
>> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> [snorts] >> program updates. >> Program updates. So, we're we're in full swing with fall programming. We already have some on the website. Um, couple of

90
00:28:37.679 --> 00:28:55.120

98
00:30:51.039 --> 00:31:08.480
run on the book? Are they again? >> Some people have asked me about that and then like I heard about it but I don't know anything yet. And they are the I don't know how many are you running. >> Yeah, I did see that.

99
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:25.120
>> Yeah, that'd be great if we can find out too. So few people know. >> Awesome. Um and then also with nothing well partly 300 but also Brandy either tonight or next time you're in the building at the

100
00:31:25.120 --> 00:31:45.600
in the um on in the auditorium on the stage Brandy created this really beautiful banner u to celebrate the rebuilding 100 years. Um so it's really kind of cool yesterday 20 ft longt yourself. Absolutely. No,

101
00:31:45.600 --> 00:32:02.080
>> no, we had help with Jay and her facilities. >> That's awesome. >> But she designed it and planned it and the colors and team and all of that stuff. So, something looks really great. >> Um, general updates, um, which I forgot

102
00:32:02.080 --> 00:32:19.120
to print off, so we might need to hold off on that, so I apologize. Um, but we wanted to revisit the policies and procedures for memorials on parks and recreation properties. We had talked about it a while back and I thought we had voted on it but I can't find the vote anywhere. So, um

103
00:32:19.120 --> 00:32:34.880
>> I sent a email. >> I did a while back. >> Yeah. >> Yes. Yeah. The policy that you were looking at. >> Yes. Well, I can resend that since we've got a new board. Um I'll resend that to everybody just for review and to discuss at the next meeting in September because

104
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:51.600
I don't think we have anything that's declarative that we need to address right away. But it's just to have that again in place. Um we have a bench that's being installed now. Um there's just some again just different things and I think based off of what you guys

105
00:32:51.600 --> 00:33:08.320
decided on. We just haven't finalized that policy. So I'll get that ready for the next meeting. Summer program updates. As Brandy said, we've had a lot of really great ones. Our horsemanship programs been really successful again. Our volleyball programs going on now. Our partnership with the elementary school um has been great again. Um, so

106
00:33:08.320 --> 00:33:24.720
that's been really good. The KREC program is going phenomenal. The staff is just unbelievable. Just really, really good group of people and um it's just it's just fun to see everybody participate. Um, we've had a couple of dogs visit, you know, comfort dogs that

107
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:41.600
come in every once in a while. The police department has um sent them and then maybe comfort dog in training has been visiting. Um, you've also had the support of the police department. Um the resource officers, a couple of them have been joining us weekly too. So the kids

108
00:33:41.600 --> 00:33:57.600
are getting to know them which has been really great. So it just feels like a really good community event. And um yeah, it's been really it's been really special this year like >> Yeah. I mean I I think with department too they they have detail there every

109
00:33:57.600 --> 00:34:15.599
day and all that. So that >> see it's really been like I said just a little bit more community connection which I'm really grateful for that. Um, >> so super. We, you know, just really good to see uh so many kids and staff. It's just really incredible. I know I keep

110
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:32.443
saying that, but it's true. It really is true. We've got, you know, anywhere from 14 to older people here, college, uh, professionals, and that, you know, they show up every day. They come in, they do their job, you know, it's just, it's just really good. Um, CPC

111
00:34:32.443 --> 00:34:47.839
[clears throat] updates. So, the Graves Beach Park tennis and basketball court renovation project is underway. Um, I've been working with our engineer record for this project that we're going to be working with continuing. Um, he submitted an RDA before the conservation commission which was approved uh on

112
00:34:47.839 --> 00:35:03.280
July. >> It was approved. >> Oh, I thought you said wasn't >> it was it was approved on July 22nd. Um, and now he is working on uh submitting to the Mass Central Register to get our bid open and online. Um that will be happening on I think sometime

113
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:20.640
this week before August 6th. Uh and then the town has submitted it for combi. So that is happening all this week too. Advertisement period will begin on August 12th. Um and final copies and plans and specifications are available

114
00:35:20.640 --> 00:35:40.160
electronically through strong tree engineering. All that information will be in the good documents. um potential non-mandatory meeting if people want to have one will be August 20th and then the final bid closes on

115
00:35:40.160 --> 00:35:58.400
uh September 2nd and then hopefully award it quickly after that and potentially mobilize by the end of September for those two projects. So that's kind of where we're at in time frame. So it's moving along which is great. Um, in the intro of doing that, whoever we bring in to do

116
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:15.599
the courts, I'm also going to have them look at Oachinsky basketball court. We do have some cracks in there. That's been I don't know how many years build that we build that, but it's been a while. So, it just needs to might have need some resurfacing. So, whoever we contract in, I'm just going to have them look at that as well. Um, just to see if

117
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:30.560
there's an opportunity to have them take a look at that, make some repair some of those cracks, not as part of this project, but just as they're already going to be there. Uh, so I'll work on that because I know if anybody's mentioned that to you, a few people have brought that up. >> I have heard something about that.

118
00:36:30.560 --> 00:36:46.079
>> Yeah. So, um, repropy upgrades, everything's great here. These new cooling system units has really saved us the last few years. So, those have been great. We also got two additional portable ones. So, we've been using those upstairs. Um,

119
00:36:46.079 --> 00:37:01.440
we have a sign up on tennis court to let people know that they can't come down, you know, using tennis courts this time. We have maybe problems. I also had another sign made just saying that the whole property was closed because we would have occasionally people come from the public to use the uh playground. We did let them do that in the past, but

120
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:18.720
it's too tricky. So, we just asked people not to use the property while we're here, which has been not a problem. Um, we also just did have the bony loots field redone um for the program, too, just because the loots fields really uh had a lot of overgrowth

121
00:37:18.720 --> 00:37:34.160
and on baselines and things like that. So, we did get those done. Um, which I know baseball was happy about as well. Uh, so that's really it. Here at Grace Beach Park updates, the park staff, same thing, has been really great, been phenomenal. Um, Missy's been working

122
00:37:34.160 --> 00:37:50.720
with us on that. Deb has been really instrumental, too, and supporting that effort. She's connects with them. Um, is just really has a lot of oversight on that. So, that's been really good for that. Uh, but same thing, really good group of people. They show up, they do their job, and it's been nice to have

123
00:37:50.720 --> 00:38:06.560
them. Um, we've been working with the facilities department to do some extra uh cleanup as far as we trimming and line trimming on the boardwalk and the steps down by the concession on the West building and then a couple of other areas. Um, we've been working with the

124
00:38:06.560 --> 00:38:22.480
conservation department to talk about getting the York break back, not ours, because we don't have anybody that can use it right now. Um, but to hire somebody in and York the beach again, maybe one more time before the summer ends, it used to get done weekly and years ago and now that we don't do that,

125
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:38.160
it's just the overgrowth was just really seemed challenging. So, I met with Matt Panella um and Rob Pogo and we're coordinating that effort. Um, we hired somebody to come in. They got approval from Matt because we're just you are breaking it and just doing some line

126
00:38:38.160 --> 00:38:54.320
turning. So, we're not doing any major um thing there. They're going to pull up the access mat and then also then reinstall it. And potential is for them to do it this Thursday morning. So, we'll hopefully get them in there without interrupting too much of the the you know, the beachgoers um while that

127
00:38:54.320 --> 00:39:12.000
are there, but we just really need to get it done because it's just it's got gotten quite out of hand. So, I'm excited to get that done and hopefully we'll have another month, you know, for the beach to looking really good for everybody during the the season. [snorts] we need any part of the sand roped off so that

128
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:27.839
we if people don't set up shop in the morning. >> I don't think so cuz they usually start pretty early so I'm hoping that they'll be okay. Um well I shouldn't say pretty early by 7 um in the morning and so people are there uh Rob.

129
00:39:27.839 --> 00:39:45.119
>> Yeah. So, um Rob, I think we'll meet them there in the morning, um Thursday morning when they come and then, you know, we'll just have to support and try to help manage that have people not use the beach while they're there. And I'll send out an I might send out a notification that we're doing that, you

130
00:39:45.119 --> 00:40:01.280
know, doing some breaking. >> Um I just have to figure out how to make, you know, people understand exactly what we're doing and we're not doing any major and everything's above the rack line. We won't do anything below the rack line. Um, >> I think it's just general beings. >> Exactly. Yeah. Which we already have for

131
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:17.280
that property. >> Yeah. Um, >> that's awesome. >> Yeah. So, that's that's exciting to do that. The music nights, we finally had one. [laughter] We cancelled, too. We have one tomorrow night. It's going to be a double header uh because we we weren't able to book them in based off of availability. So,

132
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:34.079
tomorrow night, music night starts at 5:00 and it will go to 8. So, we have um local waves, I think it is called, with Adam Freddy's. Yeah. Um, and then the pick pockets uh will be going. So, it should be a really busy night and a good night uh down there. So, hopefully that will go well. The one last week went

133
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:50.800
well. And then we have on on the 18th, I believe. I know there's one in September. And it might be that was Yeah, September 1st. There might be one 28th. I have to look at the dates, but there's one more >> five o'clock. It will start tomorrow

134
00:40:50.800 --> 00:41:08.319
night. Yeah. So, we'll put earlier. Um, and then the farmers market, same thing. They've had a little challenge with the weather, uh, being hot. So, I know their vendors, it's been a little bit challenging. So, but they've still been going, people are coming. So, those have been good, uh, down there and everything

135
00:41:08.319 --> 00:41:23.280
else. The rest of the property, everything I think is going going along really well. Um, athletic complex field updates. Um, I John was going to get back to you, but I didn't hear from him. So, I'm assuming, you know, summer time it's a little slower. So, he and I will

136
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:38.560
be in touch talking about the fall schedule. I'm assuming that I'll start to get those uh schedules in for soccer and football. Um for the fall, uh Mike will transfer the concession stands over to football. So, that will happen within

137
00:41:38.560 --> 00:41:55.440
the next couple of weeks. Um our mowing contractor has been doing great. Our irrigation contractor has been down there. We did just have, and Mike may didn't know anything about it, but on Friday, somebody had reached out. We did have a leak on one of the boxes, so we shut the system down for this weekend,

138
00:41:55.440 --> 00:42:10.880
and our irrigation contractor is going to go back hopefully tomorrow, um, start it back up and take a look at where those leaves were. Um, we're also working with our wastewater department to try to do some more scoping of some of the pipes that are close to the

139
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:25.440
irrigation because we're still not getting full pressure. Um it has nothing to do with the wells. Everything's operational and working well, but we've seen over the years those pipes that we've cut in half that are just so clogged up. So yeah, so there could be some closer to the shed because our

140
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:41.280
irrigation contractor said that they've, you know, eliminated and cleaned out a bunch that are on um the property. So um we've been working with Dave Walsh having a conversation with him. It wouldn't be until the fall when we shut the system down. So they're going to

141
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:57.359
connect and um that would be great. That was a great idea from our irrigation contractor. >> They say descaling. >> What was that? >> Well, they think of descaling. >> It depends on the pipes. It depends on whether we descale it or redo some of the pipes. It's not a tremendous amount, but there could be enough that's clogging that. It's just not giving us

142
00:42:57.359 --> 00:43:13.920
the pressure that we need to run two zones. Um I mean, we thankfully had some rain, so we're doing good. And we were able to extend the timing with the with the summer field use um as far as the amount of you know uh minutes per zone that we're able to water. But hopefully

143
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:30.319
it's so it's not tremendous amount of piping. If it was something that we needed to we find out that that's super clogged then we can maybe the irrigation company can get in there and do some work on that hopefully in the fall. Um so keep you guys posted on that. Um

144
00:43:30.319 --> 00:43:46.240
turf management. Um that's going well. They just did some turf work last week. I think they did a fertiliz fertilization application and then they also did some um building some of the divots on the rearen field and um I

145
00:43:46.240 --> 00:44:05.440
think they did some work a little bit on the Rizzo field too. The over seeding or anything yet that will happen in the fall. Um so they've done some work there as well. And that's Um,

146
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:24.440
>> yep. That's all I have for this agenda. And then unless there's any questions for anything yesterday was awesome. >> Well, I wasn't. >> Yeah. Was that awesome? >> It was. It's right here.

147
00:44:25.225 --> 00:44:40.480
[snorts] >> Great. Um, our team won. So that we just moved on from the semi-finals to finals. >> Nice. Congratulations. That's extra pretty. >> It is. It is. >> Okay. >> Yeah.

148
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:57.359
>> Awesome. >> Um so next meeting date. Um I'm not going to be here on the whatever the 14th. So I >> September 21st for me. >> Okay. September 21st is when we were going to do it because again Labor Day is late. That pushes up way past.

149
00:44:57.359 --> 00:45:22.960
>> Yeah. No. >> Uh, so that's all I have. So, next commission meeting for Monday, September 21st at 6:00 p.m. >> Oh, you can, you know, and I think you can keep

150
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:38.560
>> Yeah. No, I mean, you could probably do it now. Obviously, I think that was an error because there's three of you here. So, yeah. So, two people can still vote and that's that's the third. Yeah. >> All right. >> So, Joe Joseph, you make a motion. >> Joseph, you there? >> Mayor,

151
00:45:38.560 --> 00:45:57.520
>> do you want to make a motion to approve the um previous meeting minutes? >> I make a motion to approve the meeting minutes. >> I'll second that. >> Yes. Roll call. Joe Cunningham.

152
00:45:57.520 --> 00:46:16.960
>> Missy Baitman. >> Yes. I wasn't here, but you >> Joseph Cunningham III. >> I make a motion to >> Okay. Make a motion to the meeting. >> Second.

153
00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:29.400
>> All in favor? >> Shan. >> Hi. >> Missy Bland. >> Hi. Joseph Funningham the third. >> I >> great all set.
