shirts. Yeah, we're going to order them early this year. We're not going to worry about getting so close and it's it's so much it's so much cheaper and so much less stress for the design this year. >> Mr. Borman, you had such great feedback last year to get those blue shirts. You
got any new ideas >> for the shirt? >> Another color? >> Different color. What are you thinking? Think like a khaki green? Oh, the olive green. >> Yeah, that's cool. Green. Yeah, green. >> Okay, cool.
>> So, something closest to like a >> olive drab. Olive drab. Olive drab. >> Military green. They'll probably know it as military green. >> Military. You can wear camouflage. That's what No one will see me run by.
Um, for the bags, I like to just do something a little different this year since they've been they've been pretty much the same for a while. I'm going to try to get them in full color. I'll try to get them sponsored again like we did last year
from Safeguard. They paid for them. So, any feedback on designing the the bags? They'll feature the veterans >> um committee logo, the town logo. >> Obviously, we're not we're not going to be with the tree logo. That's that's
going to be that's already gone this year, right? Or is it how long does that stay in place? The >> the 25th. Yeah. >> Um in December. I think we were going to use it for a year, but I can check with our team. >> Okay. See, see if it's still relevant. It's still relevant by the time the
ranger because I think we used it last year, right? >> Yes. So, I'll check with that. Um oh the problem with this the shirts early is the sponsors. >> Yeah. >> Maybe we we just
we'll cut it off early and that's it. We'll get the sponsors in and if they're not in they'll get on the billboards. they'll get on the advertisements. They'll get on the flyers. They'll get on the things. But yeah, I don't want to push those shirts like that. That was like the most special thing in two years of doing this was the shirts. So, um
I'll get out my folder and for the next meeting, we'll talk about a deadline and and stuff. >> You put sponsor sponsorship uh whatever we give the sponsor package. Yeah. Sponsorship package. I >> let them know is the cut off to be on the shirt.
Yeah. >> That way. >> Two cut offs. We'll have like an actual cut off cut off and then we'll have a shirt cut off. Yeah. >> Yeah. So they know. >> Yeah. So they know. >> Okay. That's a good idea. So we'll have two cut offs. >> And that'll give plenty of time to get the shirts and we'll just >> Well, I I think it's safe to keep with
the 600 shirts. I mean, that's always been close enough. And I think we were good with sizes last time. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Though I would like to get 700 because I really feel like we're going to get closer to 700. Do you have a Can you pull up the the dashboard real quick and
check the registered runners the number from last year? Exactly. >> Oh, that's that high thing. >> Yeah, >> let me see. That was all I >> I do. I wish I I wish I have my stuff. >> I might have gotten access like the first reindeer one, but I don't know if
I had it last year. Um, I think that was also one of I mentioned to about the subcommittee and she told me to kind of talk about the sponsorship package to see if you have any new ideas. It's kind of been the same thing every year. Any ideas for >> new types of packages? Yeah, that's a
good idea. >> Freshening up. >> Well, maybe we could do sponsors for specific things. Yes. like the medals sponsor. >> Okay. >> For the medals >> sponsor for the shirts, >> you know, because we're going to be
doing we're going to be doing that casino night thing and someone gave me an idea. want to be someone who sponsors sponsors of wine spons like so and could you pull up the expenses?
>> I can pull up that. Yeah. >> Uh this one we go. Okay. report on that for the other I think I need to check with about I don't
>> Hey come on in see >> how are you sir >> good >> how are you >> doing enjoyed your vacations in Naples saw the pictures >> yes sir this is for >> yeah yeah I saw that nice
>> just so we get more ideas for sponsorship packages Security SP. We had to the police sponsor. >> Security security sponsor. >> That would be a good one. >> That's right. That's a real good one. >> Hello, Mr. Bezos.
>> I knew you were having conversations with the >> I will be having conversations with them. >> Yeah. We're going to sit there and see what is the minimum amount needed. >> I don't think we need 50% of police force. Okay, I'm gonna let you do that. >> Yeah, I'll take care of that and then'll
we'll price it out. >> But, uh, no, I mean, we have the medals, right? We have >> shirts. >> What else we have that someone for the bags? >> Refreshments, anything. >> Well, we don't buy any.
>> We just we just some donate. They donate those >> like you know it's Costco. >> Yeah. >> Um >> yeah, we have a sponsor that does like the fruit which is it's Chick-fil-A. >> The only thing I would say is most
likely the metal sponsor was going to want to be on the metal somewhere. Maybe on the back. You know what I mean? >> We want to put it where you can see it. I would I would say we would rotate it into the into the pattern. We can just you know how it's like it's the armed forces. >> Yeah. Yeah. And then we just put their name in there. Yeah.
>> You can just leave their name into it like three times. It'll like in three spots. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> That works. >> Okay. >> That'll be an early That's going to be an early due date. >> That's a good one, though. That's a real good one. That's going to have to be worth a lot. >> Well, whatever they can, though. So
>> last year you've had 10,000 for title, 5,000 for platinum, kids zone 4,000, gold 25, 1500, silver 1,000, bronze 500. These were like the basic tiers
with the Do you know if Baptist is in this year? Oh, do you know who we talk to at Baptist? Because I have a gift bag on my in my couch. It's my last bag. my I make sponsor thank you packages >> and I have that to deliver and I don't that that was my >> Yeah, I brought that
>> Yeah, she's the one who has that >> because I'm sure it's like it's probably somebody at this branch here that's >> I would assume so. They're also doing the force but she's the one who's been contacting them but I can ask her. >> Yeah, that'll be great. and I'd love to go just walk over there and and >> do we know how much the medals and
stuff? Yeah, she's going to fully extensive the uh >> because I still want to have the title platinum and all those things and I think then we just then we just create >> No, you got your own title sponsor and then we just create these new
sponsorships for specific things >> and then we leave the other the other low, you know, silver, gold, we'll leave >> whoever sponsors it. Yeah. Whoever sponsors the shirts, they're going to get their logo on it because >> the largest logo. >> Yeah. And whoever sponsors the bag will get that on. That's all. Okay. Yeah,
absolutely. >> Get police to stand in the corner. >> Let's see if the police will sponsor. >> Maybe they want to be a security sponsor. >> Yeah. You want to be a security sponsor and not get paid overtime? We can't. And
the department will pay for up. We'll pay for it. Yeah. The long the follow is for Saturday. It's going to be >> Yeah. Yeah. We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it in the next >> We're still pulling it up here just a little faster
because I would have to go back and forth. Um, want to keep the same metal design or you want to change it change it every year. Man, that was a nice one. >> Okay, >> but we've left it we kind of left we've left it the same for more like we
repeated it more than one time. >> Look at these >> human AI. It's great. I like the belt buckle. That's cool. Is that what that is with a >> a reindeer with wings? That's that's interesting.
>> Maybe kick it around for a while. See you ideas. >> That's the dog tag ones are really >> I love the dog tag. >> I really do. >> What about What about redo? I mean, see the dog. This dog tag. >> It's a single dog tag. That's We could do >> Isn't that the sad one? Does that mean
somebody said, you know, that's why we went with two. >> Yeah. >> And then I like the little chain. this this type of designer you're doing. >> No, I like it with a little chain too. The little I love them. >> But then people like to get new ones, you know.
>> They do. >> They do. >> Well, people to collect them. Exactly. Like I have a collection on different ones, >> different colors, different shapes. >> All right. We have to keep it around the AI once it's cut off for the final approval of the design. >> We have plenty of time. That's that's
fine. Last year the one $3,687 like the shape of a dog pack >> idea. No, I mean I mean that's good. I mean you can have AI change it around >> 750. >> Oh okay. What was the price of >> 3,000 375? >> Yeah, >> we'll call 4,000 too
for the metals was 4,000. 4,000 for medals, 4,000 for shirts. There was 750 shirts, but I I I >> How did we deal with shirts last year? Were there many in? >> Uh, no. Not I was trying She was trying to get into the app, but you know,
>> 700 bucks for bags. Is that what was it cost of bags? >> Like 1,500. I'm just guessing, but he it was it was fully sponsored last year. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, let's do that. Let's add that to sponsorship then. So why >> have a bag sponsor, metal sponsor, shirt sponsor? Exactly.
>> Okay. >> And in their sponsorship package, the metal guy gets their logo weaved into the ribbon. >> Yes. >> Along with the service engines. >> Yep. >> They're going to love that. >> And the title sponsor. >> Yeah. As well >> in the town.
>> There's plenty of room. It repeats a bunch of time. I think you saw me wearing it today. I wear my badge on it. >> Are you thinking about doing a doing a medal again for the winners or maybe a little trophy? >> No. No. We're doing the ribbon color. ever >> the top three. They have bronze, silver,
or gold ribbon on their metal like we did last year, the year before. >> I know, but you had two of the same kind of metals. The metals were the same thing. >> The metals were the same. The straps were only different. >> The straps were different. >> Yeah, it's hard to mint. The minting different metals. It's going to probably be a couple hundred for each one to mint them. >> Just the setup for the
>> cost. And also, people were tired of getting broken. Let's see. >> Oh, yeah. So I it actually works real well when we do it with a different public. >> Not a little black or nothing like that. >> No, >> trying to minimize cost and we were consistent. I think we've done it what two years in a row.
>> Yes, it's been two >> two years in a row with this and it's worked well. And then we have you know what's also cool is we have the councilman and merit to medal presentations. They all stand out there and all up and they get to go and get they stand on the podium. >> That's good. I like >> and they look like Olympians. You know
what I mean? Oh, and we have the also the warm-up sponsor. We can put that actually officially onto the sponsorship package. We haven't done that. >> Oh, >> we always just kind of do it kind of behind the scenes. >> Yeah. >> With uh Caution, whoever's first. Caution
CrossFit or Sweat 448. >> Yeah. Just seeing the names and then if it's going to be limited and what they get. >> Okay. Um, >> so I guess the rest leave the same and we'll add those other ones in >> and uh that'll be good.

go over some things that is in the minutes that I need to get get an update on the fishing tournament that we talked about with the chamber. That's actually for next year. They tell me it was for next year. I'm like, good. I can stop running around like a crazy. um and they will get me the date and
they pretty much will be running it and we'll just be basically sponsoring as a committee. Um the other thing about I talked about last time it's in a minute uh going to the military affairs board for the county and it was on the
agenda and we didn't have form unfortunately at the county military affairs board. Um, however, they're going to do a special call meeting to vote on that. And then once now we have a forcing action, you know, once the military affairs board has a, you know,
to passes a motion requesting that we allow the banners to be on Northwest 67th, then the military affairs board will draft a letter um letting the county commission and the mayor know to be presented to him that
the military board affairs board advises that we allow to do this. else to roll to advise and recommend and then see if we can get it passed and have it happen. So now we can have the military banners on 67 as this said, you know, and minor
links. So that's where we're at. So we're waiting to get the date for the special call, but I'm currently drafting up the letter that will be given to the mayor and the county commissioners once that motion is passed. And I'll probably end up drafting to the resolution that way we have something to vote on. Do you
have a date for the special >> for the special call for the military advisory board for? >> Um, nope, not yet. We just met the 30th. We just met the 30th. So, so going on. All right, that's my update.
Um, back on to the agenda. Okay. whole business. Uh, okay. Let's see. We have some subcommittee since everybody pretty much was present for the subcommittee.
I'll just summarize and Judy, let me know if I'm missing anything. >> We created a new criteria for sponsorship. Medals sponsorship bags. >> We need to get that voted in. >> Oh, yeah.

criterias. >> Make a motion. And I motion from Judy seconded by three idle which is already probably prefilled one key stroke for that. Sorry, I just hit that. >> That's right. F >> F4
Bio Bio F4. But uh Okay. So, that motion is to add those new uh levels of sponsorship and uh made by Judy, seconded by VI Hill. All those in favor? >> I Oh, and specifically for the metal

Okay, I make a motion 525 second. >> Second advice. >> This is August 6, right? >> All those in favor. >> Any new business? Um, I just want to say, um, we have the 4th of July coming up and it's a
wonderful event put on by the cultural affairs committee. Um, and I just want to share something with you guys that I learned just recently. Um, the top five countries in the world that get the most immigrants, the United
States is number one. >> Yes. >> And then how much of it are we number one? The next four the next four countries underneath the United States combined get less people than the United States.
So, you know, when everyone complains about this nation and stuff like that, I know we don't, you know, just let them know that, you know what, where do people want to go? You know, people want to go to the United States. This past year,
they got 53 million legal immigrant applications. France, which is on the top five, got 11 million. >> Yeah. They don't want to go France. And that's in the top five. You know, Germany was up there too, but it was
like 12 million. So those places that everyone thinks are the most wonderful places, and those are great places. Those are really great places, France and Germany. We are just five times better. And that is what
we're celebrating this coming Saturday is the 250th birthday of the greatest nation on earth. in mankind's history. So I hope to see you there and God willing the weather will be good. If you have any friends in Halia make sure they
do Santaia sacrifices people eating >> the job. Um but pray for good weather and thank you very much. Can I get a motion to adjourn? >> Motion to second it by myself. It
shouldn't be great because first time ever we have >> this has
