Uh, calling the park commission meeting to order. Uh, could we please rise and say the pledge of allegiance? >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the
republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you all for that. Um, all right. Anything any additions or uh anything we need to
uh any other additions or whatever to the agenda for tonight's meeting? >> Nope. Anything with that? I'll look for a motion. >> Motion. Second. >> Uh, all in favor say I. >> I. >> I.
the minutes from November 18th meeting. >> Um, did anybody find anything that needs corrections or uh additions to the minutes from that meeting? >> Nope. >> No. >> So, uh, with that, I will look for a motion. >> So, moved. Second. >> Second.
>> All in favor say I. >> I. Motion carries. >> All right. Let's review Christmas tree lighting event. I'm pulling it up at the moment. The results >> Christmas tree lining
>> for the We'll get there. We'll get there. >> I think I was the only one there. >> Oh, I That's the first one I miss hospital. >> Good excuse. >> It was very cold. >> My excuse was >> Oh, that's right. We talked to you after
that. That's right. We talked to you at Yep. >> I was in Green Bay, so I was out. It wasn't terribly well attended. >> I think the weather was a huge factor. It was very, very cold. Very, very cold. >> Okay.
>> Um, I think it needs a little bit more more >> razledazzle. >> Yep. A little more like more things that you turn on when you turn the Christmas tree on. >> Need to buy a gazebo or something. I
don't know. I'm joking. >> Fireworks. Well, I don't know what happened, >> but I think it was a little underwhelming. >> How was the carolling? >> That was better. Okay. >> Oh, they But because it was so cold, they didn't stay very long. >> Right. That was honestly the thing I was
most disappointed to have missed was I was sounded really nice. >> They were really, really, really good. And the Santa you got was fantastic. He started >> Thankfully, he's he got everybody singing jingle bells or something at the end. I don't remember what we said,
>> but I was like, "Hey, good on him." Cuz that was like the highlight was Santa. Okay. >> So, >> we paid Santa dress up. >> I did not dress up. It was too dang cold. >> Well, and my sidekick wasn't there. >> So, yeah.
>> I think next year instead of uh fires, we'll probably go with those propane top hat warmers. >> Oh, okay. >> Maybe both. Maybe both because the fires are they just need to be bigger, better lit,
ready to go. Um because they give I think they give a coziness to it. >> Um the lions were great because the food they offered. Everybody really love the cookies and stuff. >> Awesome. >> So, but the weather was a huge factor. >> Maybe you need to do like s'mores or something.
>> You know, that was coming in my mind, too. I'm like, you know, you talk about the fires. Maybe we have s'mores kits or something that you know. >> Yeah, I think I mean we couldn't have I don't think this year because it was so cold you couldn't really have your hands on. >> It would have been tough, right? But >> um but I do think we should move it in
my opinion. I think we should move it to the when the firefighters do their thing and then Santa could come over afterwards in my opinion because by the time we got to the lighting people were like, "Oh, I already went to the other lighting last weekend in Mononia and I did this and that." I it just felt a
little late >> when they do pictures with Santa. >> Yeah. Friday. >> Why not? Okay. >> So, maybe till like >> 5 to 8. But then Yeah. I mean, the line was crazy this year. I don't think we left
there until like when we were done cleaning up. Probably 9:30. But people probably stayed taking pictures until 8:30, 8:45 because Santa just kind of lets everybody that's in line. Like we don't cut them off. >> But so I don't know. I think it'd be good to do it the same weekend at least,
but I think it I think it'd be kind of neat to kind of do it together like everybody were going to light the tree now. I just thought >> Well, Zion Lutheran has their nativity scene. They had it at the same time. >> Correct. That was >> so if we can correlate and do that so
that we're helping each other out. >> Correct. Either with with firefighters >> or with Zion. I think >> well I mean if we're having on the same night >> because there were people down at the live nativity that did not come to the Christmas tree lighting. It's true.
>> So what I'm saying is having signs of both places >> maybe. But if we already do stuff with the firefighters I don't I mean maybe we can coordinate next year to have it around the same time or I don't know. I don't know. I just think >> the two events that are similar. We used
to in a row >> um the fire department used to have it on Saturday morning afternoon. >> That was a long time ago. >> Exactly. And that's that's >> and the mayor festival actually did it because we tried breakfast with Santa.
>> Yes. >> One year. >> Yeah. >> Um >> but >> and but that's what I'm saying. So I I know we used to, but I know that things have changed with the fire department >> because this is the Friday night is the date, the only day that works well for our Santa.
>> So that's why the fire department sticks with Friday night is because that's when we can get the Santa because he's booked the rest of >> basically the rest of December. Well, and we don't have to combine forces, but I think it in my opinion should be the same weekend because waiting two weeks
after it felt was two weeks after >> I thought it was Sunday after Sunday at least after Yeah, we were December December 5th. >> Everybody else does their Christmas tree lighting the weekend after Thanksgiving.
>> I don't think it and ours was not. We've always done it the first weekend in December. >> Ours was on the 7th of December. And I think it should have been the weekend before. >> Like I say, it's always been the first week.
>> The 30th of November, I think, would have been better. >> Um, oh, November. >> When did you do Santa? Friday the 5th. >> It just felt late. it felt,
you know, but these are just my opinions. Um, I think we would have had a better showing for a couple different things, but all in all, I loved the player. >> The weather does have a lot lot to do with it. Um, we have a decent amount of people.
>> We have some had some years where we've had very large crowds and then we've had some years where there's been two of us >> and I know the tree is growing. We can't make the tree grow >> or three of us. I don't Yeah. Uh that one year Maggie and I and Nikki were the only three that were there
>> and it was like >> one video and it was like >> 30 below and blowing and it was a blizzard and so I mean >> um >> I just think when you when you're when you're doing a Christian light and you're kind of kicking off the season to
me that's the weekend after Thanksgiving. >> Well maybe we just need to talk about adding more things to it then and making it more appealing. I know Watertown has done a good job of adding like making so much. I didn't go, but I know they had like a candy cane hunt for the kids
beforehand and then they had Santa ride up on the fire truck, which did they do that again this year? Okay. >> Yeah. >> Um they have a really big tree. It's been growing a little longer than >> it's been there a long time. Yeah. So maybe we could do something that's more >> spread out or something with some more
lights to make it a little bit more >> Watertown lit their tree on December 6th. Okay. Well, Wakonia was weekend after Thanksgiving. Pretty sure >> because they they made like an entire day. >> They had their lighting the town thing too. Their um
>> no water tone they did. Um they called it festival of lights I think even though it was not >> what that means. Um >> I thought that was so funny. >> And it was I think it really was called that. >> We're right festival of lights. >> Yes. So,
um, and I know they're they're working really hard at building stuff up in Watertown for sure. Um, I don't know. I just there was these were thoughts I just had that day. >> So, and it doesn't I mean it I I work at the funeral that faces the park and I
see Laconia's >> Oh, yeah. They have a grand they have a nice central park with a pavilion and all this stuff. >> But they also have like the Grinch come and they do lighting and they sing and they do all this stuff which I it's not like a jealousy thing. It's not like we
need to be them. >> But I did feel >> and they have improve whatever it is. I mean >> I mean I think we could add more something. Yeah. And we have I mean over the last few years we have had added a little bit here and there and changed
some things up and >> did they put obviously did they put lights on the splash pad? >> They didn't get around to it. >> The pavilion of the splash pad. >> Yeah, it was it was Yeah. >> Yeah. I think >> it was tough. >> So >> I'm just offering my two cents because I
was there and that's just some thoughts I had. >> Yeah. and and we'll have more discussion on that as as that season gets closer. >> Um, which yeah, I mean, we have plenty of time to come up with ideas and and whatnot, which I encourage everybody to
>> think about and, you know, >> for sure >> maybe we can come up with something that that will stand out. >> So, >> awesome. >> Yeah. >> Um, all right. Discussion on park trail reconstruction.
So, in relation to uh so we did our CIP work, one of the things on there was um some of the trail reconstruction work. The DNR has the local trails grant program that they solicit for each year. And what this project does, it's for uh
local trails, especially in parks and as they connect greater neighborhoods. So, a lot of our parks are really good candidates for this program. We haven't taken advantage of it in the past, is my understanding. So, the grant will provide up to $250,000 in grant funding maximum. Uh, the grant
split is 25% city, 75% DNR. So, it's a really nice split. So, total project cost on the whole thing would be 333,333. So, you can see the various splits there for total project cost. I was talking with the city engineer. It needs to be a
10- foot wide paved trail. and talking to the city. That's the grant requirement. >> That's that's going to look >> How wide are the trails right now? >> Eight. >> Okay. >> So, if you want the grant money, you're going to do 10. >> Well, we'll do 10. And
>> that's like the standard for multi-use. So, yeah. >> Less to clean. >> Sure. >> Is that the trail we're talking about? Are we talking about so confused? >> I mean, I'm with less ditch to clean, but you know, >> for somebody else. So the DNR grant
requires 10 foot wide pave trail. Uh asked a city engineer what re a full reconstruct cost including engineering would be per lineal foot and he said about $190. So to max out the grant we're talking 1754 lineal feet of reconstruction
uh to max out the grant. So I did did some GI quick GIS work figure out the quantities on the uh lengths that we have in each of these parks based on our CIP cost per linear foot total cost there grant share and then city share. Um
most uh these three will fit easily within the grant parameters without going over too much. Discovery Park this is just what's in the park itself. So I just want to hit Discovery a little bit more on a discussion point there. So that includes all of the trail from
here down to here around down into this section then crossing and then through here. >> We do have a lot there is a lot of trail in that park which is great. >> Is that one in that bad a shape? >> Is that the new >> chunks are? Yeah, there's sections I know that I've
>> buckled up and it's >> Yeah, like probably down by the wetland pond. >> Yeah, most Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the linear footage is just that area. That doesn't even include this section down here or the section that goes through
here. But to tie that all together um with street uh with street maintenance work, field stone is due for a milling overlay in that 2030 time range. >> So when the mill and overlay happens, that's when we would likely tackle these sections as well because this will get
it, this will get it. So that section 162nd uh the next phase of that development is coming in correct? >> Yes. >> Can that be extended with that phase? >> Yes. Uh so this 60 stacket will get
extended. We're still working on plans uh concepts for that but this would get extended. >> Okay. Because you can see in here the pregrading that took place in 2006 2007. Here's where Red Barn Road
was supposed to be. Here these are storm ponds and you can see some pregrading here. You can see cult >> culdeac. >> You can see where culdeacs are supposed to go. Cul >> most of the sewer and water is in there. >> Uh sewer line is here. The water line
>> water is not. We found curb stops, but we don't know. We don't know what they do. >> I was gonna say, I didn't think water was put in. >> They would have put those. Maybe they just had some extra ones. >> Just put them in the ground. >> Uh we don't we don't trust it. So, right. So, we have the sewer line that
runs here, but there's a temp lift station up here. >> Yep. >> That would have to get redone, but we just assume there's no water in there, so they're going to have to take care of that. Okay. But uh this would likely get this would get built out and then so there this entrance would be extended.
>> So now would that be the builder's I guess that's the question I'm coming down to. Is that is that the builder's responsibility to extend that trail? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> So the developer would extend 62nd and they would extend this trail. >> Okay. And then we're waiting to see what
how this is going to then meander into the rest of the development and how that's going to >> Is this one of those two where we require a park for that? >> No, we don't have a park required for here. It's close enough closeovery here. >> Okay.
>> We won't require a park, but they haven't given us full plans sets on how the trails are going to interconnect and what have you. >> So, still waiting. >> Can we um Sorry. Oh, if if you have question, >> are they do we get dedication fees
instead >> in >> even if they don't have to do one that we still get dedication fees? >> Um John Anderson is still working on all of that. >> Okay. I'm just curious if that goes to the I think it's kind of came once before and it was kind of like an unknown like is that money actually come to the parks budget? It feels like it
should not just disappear into the general fund, >> right? It so that's where I'm having John work on this. If they aren't required to have a park, do they still do park dification fees? If nope, but it's if a park is required and they say, "Nope, we're going to give you money instead of a
park." Right. >> Right. >> Then that park money, yes, that would go into the park CIP. >> How do you know if they're required to put a park in, how far away from the next park before they have to put another park? >> That's spelled out in our comp plan. So,
we look at the future growth areas and then that'll show where we want parks in there. Just got to review the comp plan. >> Can you pan over get one >> please? >> So with meadow I know at one point we >> starts there up around here
>> and that that portion that goes up towards me parkway I know we have discussed that that is extremely steep >> and we have to make it 88 >> for the grant. We need to make it 88. Exactly. >> Compliance. >> So, so the overall discussion I'm
looking for is CIP ranking for all four of these were >> pretty close to the same four or there in >> I could remember is that points or like that like number one >> uh points. So, one being the lowest
priority, five being the highest priority. >> So, they ranked about the same. Um, so looking for direction on what park trail we want to focus on because that's what I'm the this grant is due in March.
>> Mhm. >> Okay. >> So I want to start writing up the grant >> and what construction year or like you said >> I would like to see Westridge. >> So probably not discovery though. >> But that new section was >> we just do that all at once >> made ADA compliant but we could add
trail. I think we still need to do a little bit of there to get rid of. >> Well, we have to pick Well, that was my That was my I was trying to eliminate one like we're doing. I would agree. I don't >> all the way down. That's what John thought. >> Yeah.
>> To come all the way to the Dakota, >> but it's preferred to go along >> the alley. Some patching we need to do, but >> right throw it somewhere. Right. >> I mean, >> so we're looking at this. If Meadow is what we want to focus on, then I'm going
to engage the city engineer to look at this sooner rather than later to gauge ADA compliance and how much we're going to have to do there. Um, otherwise, >> how many feet was meadow? Sorry. >> 1460.
>> Okay. That might be >> based on existing. >> That might be better. >> I don't know if we have to do switch backs it'll bump it up. >> That's what I was saying. like one might be because we're going to it's going to be slightly increased costs because of us needing to probably meander it to get up to the top there. >> Um
>> but grant maximum if we do get about 300 feet. >> Yeah. >> Which you should be able to get switchbacks with I would think. >> I mean I'm I'm partial Westridge. It's in bad shape and I walk it every day with my kids or whatever. So that would be my vote, but I know that there's
other priorities too. So with Westridge, uh, we would redo it. Probably redesign this whole upper portion here with the circle. >> That would be good. >> Clean it up. We'd have this section here, this bring down. And then in our sidewalk and trails implementation plan, we had talked about either trail here or
trail here. This one got the go-ahad. So we look at extending trail down this side. >> Oh, we did get easement to go through that way. >> Uh, not yet. >> Oh, >> it'll be dollar store. You mean >> it'll be worked? Oh, no, no, this is for West Ridge coming down across this
property. Oh, I see. And then connecting up with the trail head. >> Making a connection that should be connected somehow. >> I think more people use Westridge than any than the other ones. But >> that's where I'm looking for direction
on where do I what >> now? Are we looking at doing all of it? Because uh that section had just been redone to make it ADA compliant when we put in the parking spaces. Uh so roughly from say the pavilion
there up towards the alley >> is already 10 feet. >> So there to there >> I don't know if that's 10 ft or not but that is exist that that was just done >> that portion's newer. Yeah. >> Newer. >> Yes. >> The rest past the pavilion is where it gets nasty.
>> Is it? Yeah. Yeah. >> And then up to up to fourth street too is >> Yeah. is pretty alligator. >> Yeah. And once we pick a park, then we can really start dialing in on what >> Okay. >> So, >> I would like to see something connecting
to the trail there for just for easier access. I know people can go through downtown, but I don't know. A lot of people >> I see a lot of kids riding bikes through that gas station and going down in there, too. So, >> right, >> more than the other parks. But then
again, I don't go to all the parts. >> So, you're not swinging? >> No, I'm not swinging. It sounded weird. >> Move on from that. >> You said it. >> And >> sorry, you didn't need a person.
>> And what are we looking at as far as blue J? >> Blue J. That was >> because there is no real >> I think that's the point. Yeah, it was adding some on this side and then adding a segment to here to connect it down to second.
>> I like that. That is tougher. Especially with the parking for school and everything else. I I feel like there should be >> sidewalk trails much better connection to the from what street is that? It's like whatever the one on the south side
of the park to the school. Like >> I mean I don't and that's not really our job to do but like >> Yes. Because you if you take the sidewalk up to the school then it just drops into their their backyard. >> Yep. Right. >> Third. >> That whole thing needs to be redone.
>> Whole north south. >> When's the county when's when's the county redoing 23? >> And not for a while. >> That won't be done for quite a while >> because that would be when you would do it. Fix all. >> Do a lot of people walk along there a
lot or maybe would if there wasn't. is no possibility of walking along there right now >> besides the sidewalk. >> There is no sidewalk. >> Isn't there one on the other side >> in front of the school? >> Just section to like the school. >> Oh, it's only that. Okay. And then it stops.
>> So there is nothing going from >> and even even that from that little parking lot across is like like you said, it's just like the bottom step in a wheelchair or anything like there's no way. They're on the sides where people park is where people are. >> Right.
>> Okay. >> I I >> I don't know. >> I believe that that is a necessity more so than just a need or want. >> It's just such a small like such a small facility. Like it I agree. It's It's very
>> So, how big was that one? Only like >> 460. >> Oh, wow. >> Well, if we didn't have if we didn't have to redo the top part of Westridge. >> Yeah. Then could you add that little section there? >> I mean the section that was made ADA
compliant >> if it's close in size length however we're measuring feet >> from here to here. Give her a pointer. >> You might run into a problem though like
that you would have a disjointed you'd have a a non 10 foot section connecting your 10-ft sections. So unless you're going to put it on if you're putting that that north south connection on the west. >> Correct. >> True. >> You might have to, you know, >> is the DNR gonna go No, you got to make
>> everything everything you're building is 10 feet wide. We could say that, but they might say like, well, what's that? >> I can ask the DNR. >> Yeah. I mean, >> but I I definitely think that whole circle thing can go. I never understood how that how or why. Kids really like to
drive their power wheel over and over and over again or a book box. >> Never has put some up by the pass, >> I believe. So, >> yeah. >> But even still, the book box can move. >> When they put that in, like I said, it
was a question of >> why. >> And nobody had a real answer. Well, is it maybe because then it was going to the trail was going to come off the east side of that pond there and come down to the trail head. >> It didn't need to connect. We could have just done a like a Y. >> Yeah.
>> Somebody just is getting creative. >> There could have been some nice plantings in there or something like that. >> And the trail goes up to the road there, too. So, would that be part of it? >> This would be part of it, too. >> How many feet was that, Nick?
like 300 300 and something. >> Oh, this segment here. >> Yeah, >> 300 and something. >> And that's the one that needs redoing is right there. >> No, that is the one that we >> with the ADA compliancy. >> That's where I have to check with the
DNR. If we leave this and do the rest, >> then combine them. >> It's still it it's not I would say that that you can see where the low area is like something needs to be done. >> Correct. like it that portion past. Yeah, you can see where the where like the lighter brown is.
>> That would probably all I would I would say it should be redone. Like they they excavate below it and put in some drain tile or something like that because it just or I don't know if you're doing >> lightweight fill or something like that, but it just it just keeps sinking. I mean, you could put you could put pavement on top of there for 50 years
and it would probably just keep sinking >> because that that area is junk already. So, do we have to vote on this tonight? >> No, I'm just looking for guidance tonight direction where we think the priority is. >> If we could do rest with rest with West Ridge and Blue Jay, that would be I
think that would be great. >> I agree. >> If we could do them combine them somehow, right? I would agree. >> I'll work if it's possible >> because Metal Park too, there's something there with we were talking about parking and stuff in the future too. So, maybe all that'll be
>> correct. It's a bigger undertaking. >> Yep. >> Okay, I think I got my direction on that. >> Awesome. Um I Let's see. Number seven is the coloring contest, but I think I would like to switch it up with number eight.
Looking at this now, >> you have the floor. >> I have the floor. Um we had 70 votes this year, which I thought was a pretty good response. I didn't I don't remember. I didn't take the time to go look how many we had last year. Um >> I forgot to >> anybody write us in
>> I did it. We drove around. >> I did too. I I drove the same thing and then we didn't vote. I got home and the funny one the one that would have been number one for me didn't get any votes. >> Oh, wow. >> I was like, "Oh, okay. All right." Um so number one with 120. It was It was by
far I I did the same thing did last year where I waited. Um, you could if you were voting for those of you who did vote or didn't vote. >> I didn't even drive around. >> You could I didn't either. >> You had the opportunity naming naming your first choice and your second choice. And so for first choice votes, I
awarded two points. Second choice votes, I gave one point and totaled them up. >> So, um, >> uh, 1699 Hidden Trail had 123 points. Um, and then the next closest was 2567
Cold Lake Trail with 20 points. >> Did we get any pictures? >> Uh, I didn't take any pictures. >> That would have been cool. >> 123 for number one. >> Why didn't we do that? >> And 20 for number two. >> That's a great idea. >> We need to add it for next year. >> Next year.
>> An overwhelming majority. >> That could go in the newsletter. Like >> that was 1699 Hidden Trail and 2567. cuz I don't even know what we're awarding. Yep. >> Could just be rigged. >> We just awarded one and two, right? >> Yes. >> Yeah.
>> So, >> um there basically everybody below that was like somewhere between, you know, 10 to 12 13 or something like that. So, >> yeah. I don't >> if anybody's looking to see Christmas lights this time of year, they're still out on my block. So,
>> I don't know. My neighbors are still celebrating. Well, that's cool. I wish we had maybe we should ask them if they have any pictures. >> Correct. >> Yeah. Hopefully that'd be good to be able to provide. I'm sure >> then we could show people these winners. This is what you have to defeat next year.
>> Yeah. It was interesting because I I did know like or notice that some of them that went all out last year. Like a couple of them didn't even enter this year. Like there was one that like gave out last year that gave out like >> Yeah. And like >> wasn't there one of that the Tesla house? >> Yes. They like it was all their Tesla
was decorated. Yeah. >> Yes. They didn't do it. >> And they didn't Yeah, they didn't enter this year. Their neighbors did, but uh >> Didn't they do it together? >> I wonder. Well, no, they were two different addresses in the entry last year. >> But didn't they have some sinking lights last year? >> Maybe. They I mean, they were it was like the two houses next to each other
were like >> Yeah. stacked out. Yeah. >> Maybe they didn't want to compete against each other. >> Maybe it was too cold this year, >> you know. >> Again. >> But yeah, there was some really good ones and it was kind of fun. like there was some obviously there's a lot of like the people who were doing like the permanent lighting and stuff like that.
>> So there's a whole bunch of those but then it was like you kind of come to the other another area where like somebody had >> bought out the whole you know somebody's from >> different neighborhoods was getting rid of their old ones and just went huge that way. >> So it was fun like different styles.
>> Yeah. So will you be reaching out to them or were you the winners? Uh, I have contact info that I could give to you. Yeah, if that >> I asked for email and and I think I asked for phone this year. >> So, if you do if you talk to him, ask them if you have any pictures, they'd like to have >> I think that'd be cool for people to
see. >> I agree. Yeah. And that's something I've never >> Because then people I think when you have that context go, "Oh, >> yeah. We'll do that next year, too." >> Yeah. Just text that to me. >> You can put in the newsletter next year.
These were the winners last year. This is what their house look like. >> I was supposed to do weights but I just ran out of time. >> I had but I I had some but I can't enter. So >> I know. Same here. >> So all right. Well, thank you for that, Eric.
>> Yes. Um let's move on to the coloring contests. >> Real quick though, was that more votes than last year then? More >> I'll have to find the thing. >> And how many people participated last year and how many this year? I got I don't know that I don't have the top of my head. I know. I was extremely
prepared. >> Okay. Just curious. >> All right. On to the coloring contest. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Put on the table zero through four. And then once we choose that one, then we'll go to the next age category. Slap them up there. We can choose which ones are
the winners in those. And then on to the final one. >> Okay. >> Perfect. Are they numbered or they >> Yeah. How do we vote? Uh, put a mark. >> Remember which ones you're going to pick. One from the penguin and one from the snowman.
>> One from >> So you pick one here, >> one here. >> Y >> and this is zero to four. >> Zero to four. >> Come up here and come to a group consensus. >> Say it again. Pick one. Pick where? >> Pick one from the
>> one penguin. Once only >> penguin was really >> popular or something. >> No, I already told you my >> forgot to turn them in. >> And then I rage cleaned and threw them. >> I threw ours away, too. >> Yeah, >> they got spilled on a couple of times
saying that live on camera. >> But this one's cute, too. >> A little too nice. This one, right? >> This one they use more color. I mean, they don't need the whole thing. >> I mean, I mean, >> I feel like the age I feel like the age
is very hard. >> Yeah. >> Like I feel like if we're going to do >> I feel like maybe we need to mess like mix with the ages a little bit. Play with the ages a little bit. >> Right. That's that's 0 to four is a very big
