and like awkward silence. >> All right, let's call the meeting to order on Tuesday, May 12th at 6:30. 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. >> All right. First off, I'd like to thank everybody for coming and and helping with the trail cleanup tonight. Uh we
didn't obviously have a lot, but >> I think we have more than we did last year. My bag was pretty heavy. >> Probably did a little more. >> Lauren actually had stuff in her bag, right? I >> Laura Lauren did a great job of caring. >> She really did. >> Oh my word. >> All right.
>> Uh any additions to tonight's agenda? >> We have one addition tonight. Uh the city council had met last night and took up the park board's recommendation on a fence around the splash pad. It was approved, but they wanted to remand back down to the park board a decision on the
stone blocks that are currently there, whether they should stay or whether they should go or be replaced with benches now that the fence has been approved. Uh they wanted a decision on that given we're need to get that taken care of before the fence goes in.
>> All right. Any other additions? Hearing none, I'll look for a motion. >> Motion. >> Second. All in favor say I. I. Motion carries. Um the meeting minutes for May 4th. Uh I know there was a couple corrections
made. >> Um but other than that, um I didn't see anything else that jumped out at me. So if nobody has anything, I'll look for a motion. >> Motion. Second.
>> All in favor say I. I. Oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. All right, on to Music in the Park. >> Update on Music in the Park. I got a hold I'm still getting a hold of Archery. I'd emailed them, waiting to hear back from them. I emailed them
again. And then Glare Ponies as well, waiting to hear back. Uh, Michael Handler did get back to me and he is booked this year. >> Oh, no. >> So, >> did you tell him that's not allowed? >> Yeah, I told him that. >> Acceptable. >> Send the sheriff's office. Unacceptable.
>> Don't invite him back. Uh, so he said, "Think of other things." He gave me a uh he was going to get me a list of recommendations that might he might think might be good, but if anybody has anything think of it, let me know and I'll get to inquiries for our
June meeting. >> Okay. >> Otherwise, uh, Bounce House Vendor in the past, we used Midwest Party Supply. Are we fine going with them again? I know there had been maybe talk about >> either one at a Hutch. >> Yeah. Or Yep. Okay. >> With me. So, I'll get on that one. And
then it was Lions and Lacatrina that was going to do food. I think Lions are on board with it. Uh, Lacatrina. Let's go reach out to them. And then we're going to have an ice cream truck as well. Did we have a name for the ice cream truck? Can't remember if we had
contact information. >> Lauren's got it. >> I'll get that from Lauren. >> Let me look. Oh man, I'm bummed. >> I know. Michael Handler has been a staple. >> Awesome. >> He's been a staple. >> He's so good. >> So, we have to book him
>> like right away. >> Right away again, >> like January. >> After this when he's there, just go displant it for next year. >> Mhm. So, that's the update on Music in the Park event. When I hear back from Glitter Ponies,
get them locked in for the same thing last year. And then once I hear back from Archery, lock them in as well. >> And what we're going 11 to two, right? >> 11 to two this year. >> 11 to two. Yep. >> I hope they're available archery because they aren't for the festival. >> Oh, really?
>> What's the date again? Remind me, please. The date on that was is an excellent question. That was the wrong 27th that Sunday. >> September 27th.
>> Yes. Okay. Uh, brain freezy ice cream was who we had talked about previously. It's freeze and then an extra Z and an E on the end. F R E E Z
E >> brain freezy. Say where they're out of. No. >> Okay. >> But I've seen them in mayor before. >> Okay. >> I have a phone number. I can give it to you after. >> All right. >> Fantastic. >> Sounds good. So, that's the update I
have for music in the park. >> And we'll go on to the uh the added subject for block or bench discussion at the splash pad. So, the city council approved the fence. So, that's going in. So, now we need to talk about what do we do with the blocks? Do we just scoot
them in and they become the seating in there or do we talk about moving them out and doing something different? >> There were talks at the city council meeting that people weren't the fondest of the blocks because they sit a bit higher
>> than a normal seat. >> I'm just thinking they're they're they're big, right? So, if we scoot them in, that just takes up that much more surface area. Mhm. >> Taco. >> Um, >> Taco was just >> I think removing them is probably >> move them and sell them.
>> They're also rough. >> What? >> They're also rough to sit on, right? >> I had a kid jumping from one and smashing their face on it. Like >> that is like my largest concern or somebody falling, cracking their head >> because I've watched plenty of kids jump from block to block.
>> I'm sure. And if we move them out, that gives kids more room to kind of move about within that area now. >> And just get some more benches, then couple of benches in there. >> I would say probably four or five. >> Do you I was thinking two because if a
lot of people are bringing if the people are bringing their lawn chairs and stuff. >> Do we have any benches out there yet? >> No. So I'd say >> well, we do have the pavilion right there with three to four picnic table. Those pigment tables are always full
when the splash pad is open during busy time. >> Grant, >> I mean, you move those black more room. I wouldn't be against four of them. >> Yeah, do four. You know, >> get a picture to bring up. >> So, what style of had this ready to go.
What style of bench do you want to go with? >> I thought it was that one. >> Yeah. Didn't we decide on that one? >> We already decided on our benches. >> Yes. So, this I just wanted to recap. This is the style of bench we're going to go with in our parks. Just wanted to make sure that this is the one that we want to go with. >> Yeah.
>> Also also for the splash pad. >> It's black sides or whatever. Like >> I think they should match. >> Yep. Yeah. Cuz that'll go well with the black fencing then. >> Fencing. >> Yeah. So that's like six grand for 4 in >> roughly. >> Mhm. Do >> you have a picture of the splash pad so we can see
>> layout wise? >> Not a great one right off hand. >> And they're pretty water resistant, right? We don't have an updated aerial for 2025 or 26. >> We could Yeah, 24 is the last Ariel. >> Well, we don't have to approve the
adventures tonight. We could walk out there when we leave and Right. Or do we need a number tonight? >> Uh, we can't once we adjourn the meeting. We're not going to go out there and do business. >> Oh, no. I mean just to look at it. >> Oh, yeah. We can just look at it. So, we can just go with the regular
sterling benches that style. And you have four to six foot. >> Six foot. >> And once we make the decision, I this is within my spending authority to go ahead and just order >> just as I did with the downtown benches.
>> So this would not have to go back up to city council for >> Yeah. If we want to stick with the style, I just wanted to break it up. I figured we would. But >> how many groups of rocks do we have? Three. >> Three groups of rocks. Yeah. >> Three groups of rocks. The only thing is is the fence at the
end. Like obviously you don't want to put a bench. >> I was thinking three, but you can't have one in the middle if the door is going to be right in the middle. >> That's right. If the gates's going to be in the middle. >> So then it'll almost be better to do >> two two. >> Two two on either side.
>> Yep. >> I could bring that up. >> I mean, you've been out there more than I have. I would go >> 15t from each end and then >> go another >> I mean we can always add more of >> right you know and that's yeah
>> just so that we can't add one >> so the gate's not going in the middle >> no because the pavilion's on the >> that's the wrong side though >> the pavilion >> on the open side >> oh that shows the gate over there oh I gate
>> we put a gate over there we can put a gate in the middle now since we don't have the rocks >> need a gate. >> Yeah, you could put a gate in the middle. Now, >> you had to have an access for equipment to >> even though it's open >> the whole So, there's green space back here and the intent was this supposed to be >> Oh, to allow them access back there.
>> Yeah. Yep. There was always supposed to be access back here. Throw a chase lounge, throw a towel down, lay in the grass, catch some sun. >> Yeah, I would agree. It'd be better in the middle. >> Guess if we hit those triangle canopies or something down the road. >> Is this what it looks like right now for real? That was just a mockup. Yeah, >> that was just a mockup.
I think if we can move the gate to the middle. >> Yeah, for sure. Yeah. >> And then put the benches on either side of the gate and then >> Yeah, there. Yep. >> Maybe not that far. I don't know. I guess >> does it need to be a I guess this should
have been a conversation earlier. Does it need to be a gate or can it just be an opening? >> I'd rather have a gate. >> I think it can be. I don't I mean I don't know if people are going to open and close it unless it's like a self-closer.
>> Uh the price I think was a self closer. >> Okay. Okay. And that's fine. Like I said, that's a conversation we should have had before, but I I was just thinking that you know. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Because people are going to slam it. People are going to be rough on it
sometimes. >> And that that was my kid. >> Hopefully hopefully not a lot of people will notice it's there on it. Yep. >> Like hopefully hopefully it won't be like a because otherwise it's only going to be an attraction for the little kids. Can I get in? How quickly can I get away
from mom? She's sitting on that side. So, can I make it over there and duck out >> cuz most are going to come. >> I honestly do not love the idea of the gate, but I'll take the fence with the gate. So, but yeah, I just think it's going to become a toy.
Maybe the latch is going to be on the top side. One of the full one the pull up ones. >> I think we're going too far calling it a toy. >> I think people would >> you have fences at other parks around playgrounds and it's not a toy. >> Well, I think it depends on the child. >> I think if they end up actually using
>> at some point there has to be some level of parental responsibility. >> Well, that's why I said I would rather have a fence with a gate than no fence. >> Well, I think if people actually use the green area, they'll appreciate it. And that was the design back here with the mound is to have an area you can go
lay down in. >> You going to go lay down over there, Lauren? >> No. >> I'll be in the fence. >> What is What is the >> I guess number of of people that bring their own chairs. >> I mean, not a lot.
>> Okay. >> I mean, I think people realize like after like, oh, hey, that's a good idea. Because a lot of times the picnic tables are full and if you have littleer kids then you're either in the splash pad with them or you need to be close enough
where you can see them. >> So I mean I always brought a chair but that was just because that was convenient for me and then more people started to. >> Okay. >> Um but I mean I don't think a ton of people did. >> Okay. I guess that was kind of I I was
just curious is you know is two benches sufficient if people are bringing their chairs? You know what what is Say four. >> I I'm with four. >> I think four would be good if he gets six foot because we got 171 ft of perimeter. So if we have four sixoot
benches, that's 24 feet, >> right? >> Out of 171. Still plenty of space for chairs. >> Okay. And then we're just going to remove the blocks and sell them dunzies. >> Probably unless we can public works, we can find a use for them elsewhere likely
to surplus. You put them like at entryways to the trails. >> You got one on either side of the trail. >> Now you're talking class five and sand and >> pour concrete and put them on top. But
>> seems redundant. >> Then cord drill them and put a light in them. >> Oh no. Oh no. Ryan's talking about language. >> I mean, we could keep them around and and brainstorming. Maybe we'll as we're
redoing things, we'll find a spot for them. But do you have place to store them for now? >> Yeah, we got the yard. >> Okay. >> You should make it so it's a year or >> and if we have nothing's done with them in a in a short period of time,
otherwise they'll just sit there forever. That's a good idea >> because it's not fair to keep up take up their space at the yard, too, >> right? >> Okay. >> All right. Um, do I have a motion for four benches?
>> Motion. >> Second. >> All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. Anybody have anything that they'd like to report? >> Who's a motion and second on that? >> Ryan Lauren.
If I have no nobody has anything to report, uh meeting is called to adjournment. >> Well, real quick, uh yeah, sorry. It's over >> splash pad. We're going to look at opening on the Friday of Memorial Day. >> Cool. >> I think that's a great idea.
>> Yeah, if we can have it open for that, we don't know what Memorial Day will bring. I mean, we've had some some cold, >> right? You never know. >> I think last year was hot, wasn't it? >> I think we had a hot summer last year. >> Yeah, >> last couple years. >> But, um,
>> do we have a date for this? >> It's hard to say. >> Who's who's Yeah, >> I actually did talk I emailed them today about because there was a concern at the city council meeting about um >> how long the fence would last with the
chemicals and stuff. So, they reached out to their rep. They haven't got back to me yet. They could have by now maybe, but I haven't had a chance to look at email. So, >> but it is approved. So, >> yeah, it's approved, but it's uh I'll try to get a year so we have some kind of idea how long it would last.
>> Okay, >> perfect. >> Because we decided since there's so many pipes on the part that goes to the shack that we'll just face plate those and then core drill the rest of them. >> Yeah. on that back side where the chemical
>> we've got so many pipes cuz each feature has a return and an outpipe. So there are so many pipes bured under here. We're just going to surface mount this and then core drill the rest. >> It'll be good to have an answer should it ever come up again. >> So then
you need to be the signer of the contract then. So then you can handle that part and get that signed into so we can get on the list right away. >> Tell them to email me the paperwork. >> Okay. and then have your name under the paperwork. >> Yep. >> Okay, I will do that. >> Done.
>> Beautiful. >> All right. Anything else with that? We are adjourned. >> Motion to adjurnn. >> Oh, we need to Yeah. Motion to adjurnn. >> Motion. >> Second. >> All in favor say I.
>> I. Oppose. Same sign. Okay. Thank you.
