So, this is just going to record audio for the minutes and then uh Mr. Chair, you are free to start the meeting. Oh, you'd >> like to. >> Okay, it's 5:32. We'll start the meeting. Um call to order and if uh we'll start with the approval of the
minutes. So, if I has everybody had the opportunity to read the last minutes >> or >> Yeah. Is is everybody approve? >> Everybody approves. >> Motion to approve. Second. Okay. All in favor? >> I >> against.
>> Okay. So, moving on. Uh, public comments. Is there anybody here that would like to speak up? Any citizens? Anybody would like to say anything? >> Well, I did have a question. So, I I know when we were appointed to the board, some people were one year and two year, three years, and we're past the
one year mark. So, I wondered if there are new people. >> So, what I recall is that we we we've actually gone through that those appointments already because I think Mr. Getty was one of them. um he got reelected to his post and I believe um Ed Wiggins was another one he got
reappointed as well. So um now they're on a three-year cycle if I'm not mistaken for their term because it went you know so whoever's up the next year Larry and um maybe it was yourself Tiffany >> three years >> you got three >> I got three years too there was only a
couple of us on one >> two year >> Oh so it's Larry and is it Ed? No, I just got the one myself. >> Okay. >> You might be two as well then, perhaps. Okay. So then, yeah, so next year you'll be up for your re-election and then if anybody puts in forward, I mean, it's
still up to council to to elect, I'll take them out, >> but we'll um city clerk is the city clerk is really well about um giving notice of that. I >> was going to say I can review. Would you guys like your end term dates? Would that be helpful or >> Sure. Sure. Go for it.
>> Okay. Um so, Mr. Getty, your term ends December 2028. U Mr. Wiggins, 2028 as well. Mr. Rose, your term ends end of this year. And Mr. Kane, yours as well. And then Mr. Range,
uh, Tiffany and Mr. McCloskkey, you guys are all N2027. >> The two years. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I think what they did was um those members that were present that night, I think they assigned the three years and then they they just
>> Yeah. went from there. >> Okay. >> All right. Thanks, Tiffany. Um is uh any other comments? >> No. Hearing none, we'll move on to staff reports, recreation and park advisory board meeting dates.
>> So, I wanted to add this item as a first um topic of discussion. Um nothing major um as was presented to you when you became elected initially um and we adopted the ordinance. Um we we wanted to meet frequently but we didn't want to set it too strenuous at
first because of past um committees. It was hard to get members to show up and you know and whatnot. Um I believe the ordinance reads that we would meet at a minimum once per quarter. So that's what we've been doing every three months. I think the last time we met was last year
um by calendar. So, um, we do have some items that will be coming up this year that will possibly, um, pose us meeting more frequently, such as the master plan update that we'll go into a quick update on. Um, there's another program that I I've been
working on trying to present to you all. It hasn't been fully um, reviewed from the risk management side as well as legal. Um, I would have had that this evening, however, I just didn't have it at time. that program may
um elude to additional meetings, you know, earlier than meeting quarterly. So, um, staff recommendation is would the would the board be open to readjusting the meeting dates, whether it be monthly
and that and we would only call those meetings if there was enough topics for to bring to the board for discussion or have action items for um or meet by monthly or keep it the same and we can call meetings as they fit on a case- by case basis. Um, you know,
>> one of the things that we've been discussing a lot lately, like Paul said, is we have a lot of things coming down the line and we want the board's involvement. We feel having y'all's input would definitely go a lot further with what we're doing, but also having y'all's support when we go in front of
council that just gives us that added layer that we've actually worked with our board to help determine what's best for the community. And then with the special events and the program updates that we like to give you because y'all are are in tune with recreation parks. I think to some capacity, but you don't
know all the exact special events. You don't know all the new programs that are up in line when registrations take place or or whatnot. We almost have to plan six months out on these meetings because you know if we meet three months down the road, we want to give you snapshot past that even. So, and sometimes our programs aren't even finalized with
their marketing six months down the road. So, we'd like to just throw this out as a recommendation, just get your input and guidance and and see where it goes. >> What's what makes up a quorum to have a meeting? Do you have to have a certain number? Four. >> Four out of the seven, I believe. Yes.
>> I don't see an issue with us meeting more often, especially if we're doing something to help out and can help out the community. So, >> I'm okay with monthly because if you can't make it, others should be able to make. That was my only concern. If you go monthly and everybody's so busy they
can't get in here, >> right? >> Cuz I know I think that's what happened. We were going to meet veterans veterans and veterans day kind of got in the way, >> right? >> You know, and then it got pushed and then it's December really. >> And it seems like if you guys want input from us, it's always good >> to give us that
>> time down the road. So we meet and then you say, "Hey, listen. the next meeting two months from now or whatever it is, this is what we're going to want from you rather than >> correct >> if we wait three months every three months and you know it'll be too late. Um and it's always easier to cancel a meeting. >> It sure is. Yes.
>> Then to bring them in. So um is there a >> proposal as to how often you want to have it? >> Motion for bimonthly. >> Okay. >> And as needed by staff direction. >> Second. >> Okay. Uh Jay, motion to have it by
monthly. AJ uh second it. All in favor? >> You got to ask for discussion. >> Oh, I'm sorry. Discussion. Thank you. >> Um what do you mean? So we go on a plan of every other month. >> And then we get a special notice in case we need to have another meeting. Correct. Sooner.
>> And and on those maybe we'll make it as if there's action needed. We won't just call a meeting to give you a quick update on St. Patty's Day or something like that. We can >> plan for that ahead of time. Yeah. >> Okay. Okay. >> That's it. >> The only the discussion I I would have on that is I don't know if it's even if
we're allowed to, but even if we don't have that meeting that month, maybe can we get like a update sent to us like what's going on and then that way we still be in that loop? >> Yes, we can always do that. Yes. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> Great. Great. Um, so as far as the
motion, it's bimonthly meetings and um, we'll leave it at that. And then if you wanted to ask for something in addition to it, is that what we're doing? You're asking for a report >> basically just for that month that we're not having a meeting just kind of what's going on updates and that way that we're
not far behind and then hopefully that next meeting then we can ask questions on that if there's anything. Um I have a clarifying for the bim monthly. Um at the moment uh the schedule is the second Tuesday of every month. So would that be by monthly the second Tuesday of every month or
something a little >> just leave it. Yeah. I prefer locking that in that way. My my calendar is set. >> Right. So if we have a meeting it's going to be either the second of Tuesday or it'll just we'll focus on the Tuesdays because the room's available. I guess maybe like if it we needed a
second meeting in a month or something. Just prioritize Tuesday. >> Okay. Any other discussion? >> All in favor? >> I'm sorry. I won't. >> Oh, that's okay. >> Can you amend your motion to include the Tuesday? >> Do we need to withdraw the second?
>> No, you can just add it. So, just your motion is by monthly and as needed by staff um to prioritize second Tuesdays of every month. >> Everybody got it? >> I'm good. >> Do I need to restate it so it's in my
language? by >> So the amendment or the motion is bimonthly or as needed per staff with it to remain on the second Tuesday of the month. >> Second. >> Okay. All in favor?
>> I >> against passes. Uh did we want to make it official? Do you want to ask for some kind of report or what what is it that >> I'm just saying if there was something needed uh or something going on? So like
Paul was just saying there's all these new events coming out. So maybe something came out that's coming up soon that we would miss out on. >> Yeah. So we could probably make that strictly um informative. you know, program updates, upcoming registrations, any new events, anything that really I
don't want to bring anything that I can't I don't want to put anything that requires action by the board. >> I I don't want to require extra work on anybody's part either. That's not real simple to just >> like is there isn't there something the city has already that's >> building as we speak. We're we're
actually building a like an e newswsletter which will always be on the website and possibly updated quarterly or actually by by annual. Mhm. >> Um so you'll have access to that, but if there's anything else that comes up, we can definitely provide those updates. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> If there's any closures, if there's any um you know, cuz sometimes we might have
a project that's in the process of potentially starting, but if we met and then that program kicks off 3 weeks later, but we're not meeting yet, >> we may just send you a quick update. Hey, these projects are starting before our next meeting. >> That would help you all out. >> Okay. >> All right. Number four is a master plan.
>> Can I ask question for sure? I think this is just a point of order. So, if I may, um, I think you've done a great job as a chair, and I'd like to make a motion that you serve another year because it's just like we just got renewed. I think that's
only a one-year term, and then we should go around the board if anybody else wants to take that position. I don't, but I'm just trying to get as a matter of record, right, Maline? Get it as a matter of record that >> Yes. Um, >> did we select a co-chair? >> We did. That's
>> Jason. >> The co-chair norm like in that normal order of business, I think the co-chair slides >> and someone else >> and then a new co- is added. I'm just trying to run through Robert's rules. >> Yeah. >> Well, when when when there's a new chair, then there's also a new vice
chair is elected. I I don't know off the top of my head if and I'm looking at the ordinance now if there's a directive on how often um the new chair needs to be if it's annual >> that would be the question if if there's an actual term
>> for the CRA so that that >> that's what I was basing it off of the council does that every year >> so that wouldn't be >> out of I don't know that's in >> I thought uh >> not per election well there was election
every year >> I guess he did >> no Mr. Uh, so the chairman and vice chairman will be appointed by majority vote at the first meeting of each calendar year. >> So, >> oh, so it is today. >> Somebody written I'm kidding
on my notes for uh February. >> Okay. I'd like to make a motion to nominate Charlie Rose as chair. >> Second. >> So, as far as discussion goes, is there anybody else? >> Your discussion is your denial.
Look, I have no problem doing it. If somebody else would like to step in and do it, I'm fine with that, too. Whatever. If you're No. Well, >> we're good. >> All right. Well, thank you. >> You're welcome. >> All those in favor? >> I
those opposed. >> All right. I make a motion that Jason McCcluskey holds vice chair. >> All right. There's a motion. >> Second. >> Second. All in favor? >> I >> against. >> You had your chance.
>> All right. So, there's another >> just one one person against myself. >> That's six more meetings. >> All right. Uh, number four, master plan update. >> All right. So, really, we've touched on this, you know, briefly over a couple
meetings ago. Um, as you all may be aware, our master plan to obtain a consultant to help draft the plan. um has been funded >> through our CIP. So, we're beginning the discussions to actually start to, you know, put this into fruition. We want to
go to bid to do an RFP to select a consultant. Um but we need to do do a little bit bit of leg work. It's it would be Jack and I's first master plan >> um you know that we actually coordinated, you know, for our department. Um we've been I was involved with the first master plan. I know Jay
was a part of it. I think Charlie, you may have been. Um, and uh, we're also working with Seml County Parks and Recck to get guidance from their their director because he's got a wealth of knowledge from his master planning experience and we like to pick his
brain, pros and cons, what works well, what worked well for them, what didn't work well, what we may want to consider. They can help us with the with the specs and everything. So, we're going to we're working on, you know, with our colleagues in the community, but we want to just kind of start your brains rolling on this and start getting you
getting some information from you. Um, you all um have involvement in the community, a wealth of knowledge you all put in for this, for your roles, for your commitments to um helping make parks and wreck or wreck and parks um
you know, you know, that cornerstone of the community. and we just want to kind of hear some of your other deep thoughts on parks and wreck as we start planning for this process. So, what we've done is we wanted to kind of get your feedback. And what we're looking for in this is we
want you to answer four questions. Um, this is your homework assignment. Um, when you think about parks, recreation parks, what do you hope it represents for our community as a whole? Okay. We want you to kind of think about the vision of Oto for the future and you know what do you think we represent as a
community? Um number two, what role do you believe the recreation park should play in supporting individuals, families and communities or neighborhoods? You know, we're trying to put together some ideas of how we're going to shape our parks. You know what, you know what, you know,
we have to give this information to our consultant. You're going to be involved with this process down the road anyways. We're just start starting to you get the critical thinking out of the way. um start gathering your your your viewpoints, maybe get you out to the parks and start seeing these areas that you haven't even seen before to kind of
start um giving us recommendations. We also want to know number three, what values or qualities are most important for recreation parks um to reflect in how it serves the community. Um are we underserved in some capacities? Are we do we do we need to add parks in you
know different areas of OO that we're you know we're heavily you know parked on the east side of town but do we have anything on the west side of town that we could help you know purchase land for in the future build up that area um as an example. Okay. And then last in your view what would
success look like for recreation parks 5 years down the road? Um as part of our master plan this isn't just a oneanddone. We also put in for a fiveyear review period of our master plan. Um, if we if we were accredited for recreation parks, that's mandatory. You have to do a five-year update to
your master plan. Find out what, you know, what you've completed, you know, have things changed? You know, population is also growing. Have the demographics changed in our area. So, we may need to regroup with that consultant after 5 years and kind of put us on a new path. um you know, highlight the the
acknowledgements that we've that we've established and and have completed, but then let's find those funding sources to finish the other projects hopefully to push us to the finish line. So, this is, you know, we're just asking you, I put March 3rd. Um we'd like to hear your
feedback. You can provide an email to um you know, individually, okay? Don't send them to everybody. Um please. Um, Maline, would you prefer these to go to you and then you can share them or can you to Meline myself? Um, what would be the best mode >> um >> to return those back?
>> I'm going to save myself. >> Okay. >> And then there are things that they're the I can compile them with the packet and I can just run it as a Google Google form. And >> if I can figure out if I can figure out how to form just start to set that up.
Um >> if we do Google form, we would we don't have uh wreck and parks Google account. We would have to create one. So that's the thing we would have to do cuz I know like certain departments within the city have Google Docs, but they have like a
dedicated email so they all can get on there. >> So that's what we would have to set up. >> I was just saying like on your like not nec because you guys can share that out to us later on, but just so you guys collect that. >> Yeah, cuz we're going to take your results. We want we want to review them first of all, but we'd be happy to share
the consensus um at the at at the later meeting because we'd like to kind of collaborate see you all might be on the same target on where on how to set the course for the f you know what you envision you know it'll be in the future or there may be a few things that you know AJ mentions that nobody even thought of you know that we might want
to think about as we go through this process this is just very initial stage >> it gives us a little time even to ask people these questions because that's I think what we're supposed to do is get out in the community and take inputs not just our thoughts, right? >> Correct. Yeah. The master plan is going to involve multiple sessions with
citizen input. >> It's going to involve um interviewing our staff, recreation side. It's going to interview city council members, the department heads. Um you all will be involved with that process as well. The consultant is going to come in here and do do a few sessions with you all too. >> Um
you know, so it's it's it's heavily in it's going to be a year over a year process potentially. Okay. Maybe a year and a half. But we're really excited because uh the wreck and parks master plan is what 20 years old? >> Yeah, it just it just finalized. So >> yeah, it's that old. We haven't updated
it. So and that's one thing that we've been talking about heavily. So that's why we're excited to get into it. We know it's going to be a daunting task, but it's really going to help shape the direction our department is heading for the future and for the community. >> So no, I think it's a great idea. And
then like I was going to save it to the end, but since we're kind of talking about this now is I was actually going to ask like if it's possible maybe us as the board can all pick a time and place and maybe go through the city for all the parks. Uh >> we would have
>> I'll I'll say that some of them I probably have not been in, some of them I have, but it would probably be nice like maybe to show us in person where they're all at and walk through. >> Yeah, we can definitely set something up. I think we have to notice the meeting first because >> notice it. Um, and we can have some
alternate if you all can't do the same meeting, we can set up a couple maybe one evening, maybe one on a weekend or something possibly. So that way with work schedules, we don't want to conflict. >> So maybe like if we don't have I know we just voted to bring in for monthly meetings, but if we have nothing going
on and one of them said canceling it, uh, let's see if we can go out and actually see these before we starting this and >> because everybody's got different eyes. uh we can all see something different and maybe then it gets ideas when we're walking around.
>> Mhm. >> Well, and that's that kind of leads into what's next on the list. But same with our master plan. Even if you guys just email Paul and I and one of you has the availability during the day and ask, can you just walk me around Long Lake Park
for an hour? We'll gladly meet you at the park, walk you through it, point out some of the hardships that we've had, our successes, and just kind of give you what we know about the park, and then take you all's feedback, too. We We have no problem doing that. >> Yeah. And we can individually or groups,
whatever works best for y'all. It's a great suggestion. We can work through that. >> Get you out of the baseball fields and him out of the pool for once. >> I've seen baseball fields and playgrounds is about where it come. >> Yeah. We could go to the original.
>> It all started for Jay. >> No, I was talking Sweetwater Park. >> Oh, yeah. That too. >> If you can find it. >> It's there. It's very It's very >> I know where it is. >> Is it in the parking lot? >> Mhm. >> That's what I thought. Okay. >> You can bring it back in the future. >> Um, so really on this one, there's no
action items that we're requesting from y'all. It's really just an assignment that we'd like like to get your feedback on and um send your comments back to Matt Miss Meline if you can and we will review them. Share share I'll share all the findings with the board members at a later date. So >> you want to send that out to us?
>> Um it's in your packet. We can >> in your packet. >> All right. >> I read it. >> You're getting those emails, right? >> The whole packet this time. >> Any for any format is fine. You don't need to go crazy on this. Just as long
as I know which numbers are which answers, then that'll help us out. So, >> all right. >> Awesome. >> Can you send that back to us just in a email itself? >> Yeah, >> I think that'll help. >> All right. Anything else on the master plan? >> No, that's it, sir.
>> All right. Capital improvement plan updates. >> All right. So, I'm going to let Jack take the lead on some of this. I may throw in a few. >> You want to do the current projects first? >> Yeah. I'm going to I'll tag in if when needed. Um we just wanted to give you a quick um update on our current larger
scale projects. These are a combination of ARPA that we're finishing up grants as well as um CIP. So Jack, if you want to just maybe take lead and go through and we can chime in. >> Yeah, sure. So um out at OSC, we're getting the new parks maintenance building which has been much needed.
They're probably 75% of the way done at this point. So, we're hoping to get that building released to us probably within the next few weeks. Um, it's if you knew anything about the OSC Park Shop like Jason does, um, it was atrocious. Uh,
their break room was an old bathroom converted into a break room. So, we have since changed that. They actually are going to have an office, a break room, and a bath facility in there. For the splash zone, we have the new play structure and surfacing. We're hoping to finish that within the next few weeks as
well and try to do a little soft opening in during spring break to get the community excited about it. The new play structure actually has a 200galon bucket on top of it that dips over and uh will splash down on everybody. That was the one feature I really wanted. >> And I think it's every 90 seconds it'll
drop. So >> center lake park at the gym and aquatic facility. >> Jim and Aquatic facility. that play the play structure that was rusting out from the inside out uh is completely gone and it's completely replaced and it's a lot of stainless steel now. So, it's in it should last a lot longer. Interior
exterior painting. We've done all types of painting through facility maintenance. Same with our carpet replacement. We're getting ready to redo the council chambers there in there. Round Lake Park, we've been working on that grant. Paul's been heavily involved with OCIA and the Johnson Hill Washington Heights community group as
well. We took the old OCIA police substation and we blew out all the walls and made it one big open meeting room now. So, um it's really nice in there. We will gladly give you guys a tour of that facility. Uh it's almost done
>> and you'll be invited to we will do >> one or two. We'll do some ribbon cutings for that facility. It's a grand so we'll we'll probably do an opening for the building with once all the amenities are completed. Um the artwork won't be done until later in the year. So, we'll probably do a uh smaller event working
with the two support groups of the grant. Um maybe like a small art show of some sort to unveil those with the artists. Um and we'll invite the board members to that event, both of both events down the road. >> And then uh continue on. The OSC connector trail has started. We had to
stop. We're just getting the last of the permit stuff finalized, but we will have a connecting trail from the sports complex to Shane Kelly Park, which will then connect to Lockwood Boulevard. So, we'll have connectivity from Lockwood Boulevard all the way over that direction. Uh, Round Lake Park, the
Owens property, that is the corner pro uh parcel right across from that Shell gas station. That's where we're actually going to extend the boardwalk that's currently around Round Lake to end there. We're going to add a fishing pier off of it at a later date. We're also going to have a pavilion and sidewalk
added there. >> So, the pavilion is encumbered already. I met with the contractor this morning and uh we're going to be going quickly with the sidewalk installation and then we'll go to bid for the fishing pier and the boardwalk here within the next few months and if we fall within funding
great. If we don't um we'll have to just request a budget amendment to find the extra funds using impact fee. >> Can I ask a quick question about Round Lake for that project? Um >> I know we talked about this a while ago. Um, but was there ever anything up about
connecting the small little trail back by a field G, like a gate over there to Round Lake? >> Um, so >> we discussed that and I forget where we landed on that. It was something >> What was it?
>> Yeah, we've discussed that several times. I want to say it it had to do with um accessing the park and making sure you know if having people in the park after hours up until 10:00 if it >> be just like a gate that you're doing for the opening >> the trail. The trail is going to have a
gate too, right? >> We should probably look at that. >> Yeah, I mean we can >> I'm like I said, I'm just going in and I know it was already in the stuff that was sent out and I know y'all are going to go over it, but my concern is this parking situation that's about to come up,
>> right? So, we can look at that. I think if you add a sidewalk connection from the sidewalk up, it may it may not be ADA. I think the steep is it might be too steep to >> Well, we don't have ADA on the overflow lot right now either. So, >> well, but it's Yeah,
>> I'll look at it and I'll get back to you on that. >> Yeah, we we can always consider that to see and always add it to our list. >> Yeah, I just like said I was just I know that project was going on. That's why it ties in together. >> Yep. Uh, Riverwoods Park. We're getting ready to do a new playground and restroom
facility on the McCauley Court side. Um, if you've never been to Riverwoods Park, it's my favorite park we have because nobody knows about it. It's a 41 acre parcel that is literally just walking trails. Uh, if you go out there right now currently, you will see some hog traps though, so just be wary. We've had
some hog issue out there. >> And then really quick on that one too, um, we recently met with the division of forestry with the state. Um there was some social media posts about potential doing some burns, prescribed burns in that area. So we brought them out cuz we
actually met with them last year on this and it wasn't that area is not a candidate to do a burn that's too close proximity to the neighborhoods. >> Isn't council doing a project on that now to see what we're required for that because I think that got >> Yeah, you got brought up. That's why we it's part of our grant. It's actually
one of our um um clauses in our management FCT management plan is to actually do a study on the prescribed burn and whatever that calls for follow suit with that. Well, it's it's being recommended that, you know, we potentially will not do a B ban.
>> The state won't approve it. >> We're going to be bringing the state in to present this to council at a later date. Okay. So, if they listen to this, they'll probably get it for them or know it. But we're >> we are going to do a mitigation. We're going to control all the um probably 30 feet off the um >> off of the um the property line
>> basically >> and they'll take it all down. So, we'll get all the fuel out of there, all the lowline fuel um is some of it's over going up to 4 ft tall in some cases. So, it'll actually make the park look nice, but also take care of any >> and issues. They're going to also um
carve in a uh access trail on the north end of the park because they they wouldn't have any access at that end. So, there will be a boundary carved in. So that way if in the event anything happens the state forestry can get out there quickly. >> And the good thing is there's no no funding for the city. It's just we have to we have to do an agreement and we
just have to maintain it after they come in. >> And I think they treat it every 5 years or something like that. >> Y >> are you adding another dog park? So we'll have three >> uh at that at Riverside Park. We are under the FDRAP grant. We're actually going to be doing the parking lot
resurfacing. We're going to renovate that multi-purpose field, kind of level it out a little bit more so we can put more uh practices out there. We are going to place a dog park at Riverside, even though it is the unofficial dog park for us. And then we're also going to be replacing a lot of the amenities.
One of the things you'll see in a lot of our parks coming down the line is we're swapping out a lot of our uh plastic coated metal uh amenities, picnic tables, benches, and we're going to straight recycle plastic on everything. We get a way better warranty. We get a 50-year warranty out of it compared to
the other which was 30. So, and in the event someone carves into it, we flip a board over and reattach it. So, it's just making life easy there. >> Okay. I just want to get clear in my head that's not the dog park at the other end of Shane Kelly, right? >> No. >> This is a brand new park. So, we'll have three separate locations in the city
now. >> It's where you do Tai Chi. >> Huh? >> It's a Tai Chi place. >> Yeah, we'll have a dog park there. >> We'll have a dog park in that field out there where you do the Tai Chi. >> So, there's a park there. So, if if uh people won't be allowed to let their dogs run around like normal, >> we're going to try to keep them in the
fencing area. We'll have to put signs and follow ordinances on this and it's going to be education up obviously up front. We'll do a lot of that well beforehand and then >> it'll just be >> just show them the picture of the gator you caught in there. >> Yes, exactly. Well, they've caught two over 12 ft over there. Uh at Shane Kelly
Park, we have the FCT grant, but we also we're replacing both. Uh we're replacing the current playground at Shane Kelly Park, which is next to the concession stand. It became a safety liability, so we ripped it out before the new one was uh manufactured, but we got rid of it.
That one actually should be delivered on Monday, if I'm not mistaken. And then we're also adding a playground next to the Bark Park at Shane Kelly. But where the playground is going is we're also going to put a restroom out by that bark park because the restroom is so far on
the opposite side and that park is very spread out. So we're bringing in an additional bathroom facility to help everybody out there. >> Jack, let me make a comment. I'm going to go back to Riverside. >> Yeah. >> And I want to commend and thank Michael McGarver and his staff.
>> Okay. >> For doing an outstanding job. my family and I had a gathering >> at the community center >> and we had about I guess was about >> what >> 200 people >> all the chairs.
>> Yes. Yes. And Michael and his staff worked very hard to really meet our needs and we got great comments from the community >> about how hard he worked and his staff. Uh the facility was just beautiful and
uh it worked out well. So I wanted the board to know that especially you all >> I appreciate it >> and for the record that he received high commendations was hard work he and his staff. I just wanted to say that >> appreciate the kind words they didn't have to do that but they did
>> and it was so kind. We appreciate >> anything for that punch. No punch is awesome. >> Well we will definitely make sure Michael gets his acknowledgement. um from the recognition. No problem. >> I just wanted to say that I don't >> we appreciate that. You guys don't understand the good comments are few and
far between for us. So when we hear those things, it it means a lot. So thank you. >> That's you being athletic. >> Yeah. Um oh uh new scoreboards, the two basketball scoreboards at the gym are going to be replaced. Uh they have arrived. We're just waiting for the
installer to tell us when they're coming in. And then new park amenities, like I said, uh, Riverside, Sweetwater, Round Lake, and Boston Hill Park are going to be all swapped out to recycled plastic. And as we continue down the line, we're going to transition all of our facilities to that minus Salari Park and
Center Lake Park. They're going to stay with those nice rod iron uh uh benches and trash cans, receptacles, and everything along those lines. Uh, city hall chiller, that is through our facility maintenance. the uh chiller, the main HVAC unit for city hall. The
floorboard are completely rotted out, so it's time to replace it. So, we're doing that. Same with facility maintenance. We're working on replacing all of the windows at the police department. Uh it is a lot. So, uh it's a big project coming down the line. We're also working
with facility maintenance on fire station 48's bathroom renovations. They have three bathrooms in the fire station that are original to the building and the building's uh I want to say 15 years old maybe. So, we're going to be cleaning that up for them. I don't know
what parking sign replacement is off top. >> I just um so one of our CIP projects was replacing all of our our monument signs at our park entrances. So, we if you've been at the gym, you may have seen a new sign in front of the gymnasium. It has a city seal on it with a recreation park logo. >> Complex. Um we on Monday we just
replaced the sports complex Long Lake Park, Sweetwater Park and uh Shane Kelly Park. Um I'm going to be finalizing the remaining parks like Boston Hill Park. Um but we're also going to cover um city hall entrance here. That's that sign's been outdated. Police already had theirs
updated, but we're going to do city hall and whatever is remaining. We're going to update um our rules signs like on the tennis courts and basketball courts throughout the city with the remaining budget. So I just want to show that up there because it was a CP project. >> Uh carpet replacement. we're replacing in the cultural center, the main room.
We're going to be replacing that carpet here shortly. And then over at the water treatment plant um by the ale house, we're also going to be replacing the flooring in the back there in the offices for all the staff. The fire panel replacement is for fire station 48. the fire panel uh just went bad. So,
they're actually on fire watch right now until the panel gets replaced, which means one of the fire uh fighters has to walk the building once every hour to verify there is no fire in every room. So, we had to do that at the gym for a while, too. Center Lake Park, we're
actually going to be artificial turfing that sideline uh between the playground and the cultural center. We actually have our concrete vendors going to be out tomorrow afternoon. They're going to be putting a sidewalk in that sideline um closer to the boardwalk just so we
have that complete connectivity. And then um after our exceptional event in March, we will bring the vendor in. It'll take them about a week and a half. But they're going to rip out all of that grass and just make it all artificial turf. So that way it looks green year round so we don't have to deal with it.
>> And there may be more turf coming in potentially, but we're going to seek that seek guidance from y'all on that to see get your thoughts on it. And then one of the swan boats at Center Lake Park is going to be replaced. We're just getting the funding squared away for shipping, which was a lot is about half
the price of the replacement boat. >> Still no chicken boats, huh? >> Yeah. No chicken. It's going to be another swan boat. >> Okay. >> Uh they don't make chicken boats. And when they were going to open the park, Drew looked into it and to get it custom made was astronomical. So we abandoned
that idea. Uh fleet floor. uh our uh public works fleet. We're replacing uh all of the flooring throughout the whole office area. And then we also have fountain refurbishments for Center Lake Park that we will be starting on soon. A lot of those fountains are have tile and
things along those lines that are on them that the kids have been throwing rocks at and they keep chipping off. So, we're going to probably get away from the small glass tiles and go to bigger tiles just so that way it'll be easier to maintain. But we'll bring probably bring that back to you guys, too. >> That's pretty much what we've been
working on this past year. I mean, it's a lot of a lot of stuff's going on in Reckon Parks. We're also going to try to um create some sort of platform that we could I think it was recommended by Jason um to get all these projects on our website so the public can see what's going on in our in our community.
>> Yeah. Like I said, that's just always a good thing even for everybody is even like I said I have people asking me like what's going on? I'm like don't know cuz >> like one of the ones was I got question where did the signs go? Somebody stole them. >> So >> well we didn't say anything. We were waiting to see how long it took people
to notice too. >> So well they like I said they noticed and then they noticed more because the whoever took the signs down or the staff afterwards put the lights up to the trees at the top of the trees were really lit. >> Oh that's hilarious. So, I'll talk to him about that. >> But, um,
>> but I do have a question for about the maintenance building real quick. Uh, >> cuz I didn't see it on here and I haven't heard nothing else about it, but got this nice building now. >> What are we doing with the chemical shed? >> Oh, the chemical shed. >> It's already been surplus. >> No, it's going to pick up at the end of
the install. Okay. So, in the shop, we built a um chemical containment area that they cuz we we don't store very much product because when we order it, it's out within a week. So, we're just going to put it in the chemical
containment area, but we do have certain things that they keep on hand that's in that shed. So, as soon as they get access to the building, we're going to take all that, put it in the shop, and then that that chemical storage building's gone. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Cuz I know it's an eyesore. Well, I was just say you got a nice building
and then you got a rusty falling apart building. So, >> I've already got it surplus. We already got the PO to remove it. We just are basically waiting for the shop to be done. >> Okay. >> So, >> question. >> Yes. >> Large scale project. Veterans Tribute, the sinking building, the sinking
tribute. Is that on anybody's radar yet? >> It's on our radar. Yeah, we met we we actually met with uh public works city manager just to share the findings from the consultant. And um what we're going to be doing is working with our assistant city manager who is the chair of the CRA.
>> Um we're going to try to see if because we we all believe that that project could be um CRA eligible potentially. So we're going to try to get it added to the project list and then try to you know within the next year. I think if we talk about October with the next fiscal year, >> okay, >> try to get that project rolling.
>> Well, we got two issues over by that veterans area. We have obviously uh some settling issues that we're going to bring in the fill to bring it back up, but we have a bad storm water issue, too. So, we're going to we that's where we worked with public works and some of
our consultants to come up with the storm water drainage system that will be installed as well. So, that will help. >> Okay. >> With that area. >> Good. I know the tile you're talking about surround the >> Yeah, >> that fountain, too. >> Yeah, we got tile refurbishment. So, we're going to try to um that that's the tile refurbishment project that we could
possibly I don't even I put that on. Oh, found refurbishment. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, that >> Yeah, that was on there. I knew I I recognized that one cuz we were looking at all the tiles at Veterans Day. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, we're >> Yeah, we have a nice bucket full of just tiles that have broken off and uh over time I've gone in and actually put some
back in, but now it's just gotten so far gone that >> and then on the on the veterans tribute as we make those uh repairs um on the for the erosion plus of the s of the sinking structure, right? >> Um we'll always keep in the back of mind the potential if we fill that monument
up, what we what are we going to do for >> another higher wall or something. I have no idea. or we would probably go to the public arts board and we may uh put a call to artists to design something for us and we get the funding for, you know, we see what the cost is of that and then we just find the funds for it. >> Okay. >> So,
>> all right. >> That was really successful this year. We added 35 names to that wall. That was the largest other than when we opened it up >> at one time. >> If you want to pull up CIP list real quick. All right. So, one of the other things that we sent you uh or is in your
packet, it's it's 18 different pages of these are wreck and park specific CIP requests that we have gone through each year. So, we provided you guys with all 18 that are wreck and park specific. Some of them we're probably going to
pull off this year, but we wanted you guys to review them. give us any input you see um or if there's a CIP project that maybe we don't have listed that you would like to see from our department coming down the line. I know some of
that will come with our master plan as well, but this is kind of like so we have our FCT management plan for Shane Kelly. >> We'll probably breeze through these. >> Yeah, breeze through them. the artificial turf maintenance, which after in the last couple of weeks, we redetermined how we're going to uh
approach this one, but we do have some areas within Center Lake Park since it is a hightraic area. We wanted to do that. Our Musco lighting upgrades, we're trying to get all of our sports lighting upgraded to LED retrofits. We were able to get not the splash zone but the big
kahuna pool uh LED retrofits this past uh this year but we're also looking at other facilities as well and uh we're working with OBR on the sports complex playground structures and PIP and a lot
of our playgrounds you'll see that PIP the pore in place is what it's called but you'll also notice that some of our we've transitioned to the artificial turf as well artificial turf actually is our preferred because with that PIP it shrinks over time and then you have
additional repairs that come with it. The kids pick at it and so you get those big chunks. But the that's kind of our schedule. Shane Kelly, the top one we already did. Our next uh big ticket item is Friendship Park. That is our oldest playground in our park system at this
point. It is October 2007 is when it was installed. And if you haven't seen the Friendship Park playground, it is a monstrosity. It's about 25 ft tall. It has three different levels to it. It's our most heavily used playground, I would say, outside of Center Lake Park
and Round Lake, but we're looking at replacing that coming down the line. Center Lake Park at some point. Um, >> so then, and this list will probably change when we go through our CIP. Um, I don't think Long Long Lake is actually in pretty good condition, so that might get pushed back a couple years. Um,
Center Lake and Round Lake will probably come jump up to early years. Someone asked me a question one time and I haven't had a chance to bring it up. It's a perfect time. Since Friendship Park is on Broadway, >> is there any structures there to prevent a vehicle from veering off into the
park? There's no safety barriers at all to stop that. There's no other park like that that's on a main thorough. >> The only thing that that's there is a The only thing that's there is a is a fence. >> The fence and some trees >> and then uphill. >> I'm just letting you know someone had brought that to me. a citizen had brought that to me,
>> right? >> I I just haven't had the opportunity to bring it up. So, just food for thought. >> Yep. I'm writing it down. >> I I Is there any been discussion about that property that's behind the swamp area in the back of the pool where the
archery is, there's a gated >> that that fencing area. Yes. Um so, I'm going to be just give you heads up. I'm going to be removing that fence >> and just getting it back down to like ground level. um and remove those little it was like a a small ropes course um way back I want to say
>> but it's always underwater >> it's underwater for during the summertime but we don't have any current development there I know that there is a plan for the new road >> the mobility >> um going through off of Ovito Boulevard into the neighborhood um is it doctor's drive I think >> yeah it's going to split between the
apartment complex and the pool >> when does that go >> I don't know it's it's in the process uh I couldn't give you timelines but I know >> there's going to be a lot of mitigation on the on the wetlands back there. So, >> oh boy. Yeah, >> but we don't have >> a bunch of kickboards back there. >> We don't have anything slated for that. >> They're going to find a lot of stuff
back there. >> Yes, >> but there's nothing slated. If you're asking for development or anything, that's where the the lazy river was supposed to go. >> Yeah, right. >> Okay. >> We found the plans once on the lazy river, but I haven't found them since. I found uh where the dive well was
supposed to go. >> Yeah, that's an And that's a good good question because you have a question that's an open property parcel. And if you've got a recommendation for us to review and research, you know, such as if you want to make a request to add an amenity there, such as a uh
>> something like a facility, you know, we can look. >> You got a lot of people in that park, a lot of people out there that use it. There's if it was like a little almost like a little exercise area >> like the archery. We we do archery back there on the targets. We do have um exercise at Shane Kelly Parker on the
trail. >> Um as long as it's not on water, that's something we're considering for Long Lake Park. We already got the quote to add exercise equipment around Long Lake in that neighborhood as well as some um activities for seniors only as well as general population. So that's another amenity that would be through the
>> I'm just curious. It's been there for >> I know >> 23 years and >> Yeah. >> All right. >> All right. Uh quickly going back through it. We have shade structures next. Um just we're trying to put shade structures over our playgrounds to get longevity out of them. I will share with
you that shade structures have been discussed with council at some meetings and whether the you know does it really how effective is it with UV protection and all that. But we're our goal was to um cover most of our playgrounds to help with cooling the temperature down and protecting them the kids and the parents
as well. But um most of our structures are covered. Some of them may not make sense based on the the amount of trees that are >> covering the creative maintenance and everything. >> Did the sports complex ever get reut back up? those couple of panels that blew down from last year.
>> Panels >> from the shade structures. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We got all new shade sales on that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Uh so yeah, uh Boston Hill Park master plan. Uh part of that was to use storm
water grant to uh redo some of that park because when Ian hit >> Boston Hill goes inundated with water in the neighborhood that butts up to Boston Hill. some of the water from the park actually ended up in their homes. So that's >> this was a this is actually a a program that we actually um went after a land
and water grant for the state um twice. We did not get funded for it both times and so but through the process they actually funded half of it in our plan. We don't have the authority to go forth with it because we don't have the other $350,000. So we're going to put the
money back into our impact fees and then public works is going to go forth with the storm water improvements in the park. Um, we will reassess Boston Hill to see what other improvements can come through the master plan or other efforts down the road. So,
>> next is the Riverside Riverside sand filter replacement. Uh, if you know anything about the Riverside pool, it was built in the late 80s under late 80s pool technology. And um I hate that filter, but that is one thing that we
were trying to do is get rid of the filter that's built into the ground right there. We would keep that tank as a holding tank, but we would actually put a sand filter, one of the like pill style big heavy duty ones in the pump room to then backwash from there. Because right now to backwash the
Riverside pool, it's a series of opening and closing 10 different valves >> just to backwash it. So trying to get away from that >> memories. Yes, but that so that's a Riverside pool filter replacement. Musco sports lighting installation for the lower fields, multi-purpose fields. We
actually are probably going to be moving forward with that here shortly um using our wreck impact fees. We're still under review with that and also getting the quotes all lined up together, but we're looking at the lower fields of Shane Kelly. If you know anything, the fir when you drive in, the first three
soccer fields are lit. Then we have the lower pad with three other more fields. Those are not lit. And when it's daylight savings, we actually have to rent light towers to bring in for our programs and the soccer program. So, this is going to help not have to spend
that cost on those rentals. But in the while lighting those lower fields, we're actually going to light the bark park uh the bark park training area and the new playground area. So, that will be lit until 10:00 every night. So, the Bark Park at Shane Kelly instead of closing
at dusk will now actually uh close at 10:00. So, that's what we're looking to do there. Next one. So, where we at? Big kahuna shade shade extension. We do have on the souththeast corner of the pool
deck. And with the blue dolphin support, we were able to get the first half of that side of the deck uh with the shade structure. We're just looking to continue that all the way along the south end of the pool. So, we have a nice shaded area for everybody when they
come visit the facility. >> A while ago, >> um the and the other thing with the shade is yeah, we talked about continuing all the way through, but I know there's been some folks that have requested shade on the other side where spectators sit too. >> So, we actually might consider, >> you know, putting shade on both sides of the pool. you know, that's something we
can talk about, you know, with our, you know, with Charlie obviously, but also if you all go through the pool and visit it, you'll see that, you know, there might be a need for for additional shade in the in the facility. And then, uh, sport field renovations, uh, Shane Kelly Park, field three is the
only field we have not renovated, and it has not really had any TLC since probably like Hurricane Charlie hit. So, we're trying to put some TLC into that field. We may have found a little bit of a mechanism to get a lot of that done at
OSC. The softball field on uh field three is uh it it's in dire need of work. Part of the issues with field 3 is the when they installed the irrigation system, they put it too shallow. So they can't uh airrate the field. So and if they airate the field, then they blow
out the line. So that's the one field in the entire complex that doesn't get the TLC like all the other fields do. So that's why we want to do that. Is there a timeline on that or >> we need to get the funding for? >> That's why Yeah. So that's why it's in there to get the funding >> right now. I mean last year we requested
it for next year. So as you know when we when we submit these requests it goes through a scoring process with the directors and then it goes to council. High priority items will maybe get funded depending available of funds. If it's a liability it gets bumped up higher. This one we can run it through
this course and we can help make the pitch. Um, it's kind of where we kind of rely on the board members to get your your input on these projects to, you know, if you have any high recommendations, we can share those with city council through the budget process and it might help justify other requests that they're not really considering.
>> So, next one, Sweetwater Park driveway improvements. That's actually halfway being done right now with Magnolia Street getting uh resurfaced and everything. They're actually going to take the entrance, which if you go to Sweetwater Park, you know, you feel like you're turning into somebody's house to
get to the entrance. That road right there up into our swing gate is getting redone. So, it's just basically from the swing gate into the park. We would have to do a little bit of improvements on >> and then we're going to look at options on improving the roadway going down to the actual park parking lot. Um, I don't
believe we're going to be able to asphalt any of that, but we can do some other things with crushed stone, you know, for um, give it more stability, maybe widen it a little bit for the trees are are are >> we have to be cautious because obviously that park butts up to Sweetwater Creek,
which is a FEMA designated emergency creek for draining water out. So, we have to be very conscious with not only the FEMA requirements, but St. John's uh, river. >> Is the problem with that been like the pitting or something? Is that what are you getting complaints about it? >> There's just so many damn trees.
>> You're weaving through there and it's it's tight where some there's a couple palm trees that are leaning there getting close. We might have to remove a palm tree or two, but we just want to make sure the road is stable. It's it's been it's actually held up very well. I think our staff have to go in there off and on just to fill in some potholes.
But it's I mean for the 20 years I've been here, we haven't done a whole lot of updates to that little roadway. So it's >> it's kind of a nice it's kind of a nice little >> I like it. So, if we can keep that because that's the >> I mean that's one of our oldest parks.
>> That just the the feel of the park is that entrance. >> That's what I was that was where I was going with this. I was kind of thinking it's kind of cool driving back there thinking you're getting away from everything. >> Yeah. >> Next one is close to Jason parking lot improvement plan. So, at the sports
complex, we have what the what we call the Stubs property, which is the property directly across the street from the sports complex that we utilize for overflow parking for uh baseball tournaments of that nature. But with the ride widening of Broadway, we lose that
property and we lose our overflow lot. So, one of the things that we're really looking at is we want to do a study of the sports complex current parking situation and figure out what we need to do to basically make it uniform first of
all because it is kind of a free-for-all, which drives Jason insane during tournaments because there's a spot in the back corner that you can get three cars deep, but then if you're the middle car, you're stuck. So, um, we've been trying to get parking bumpers out there and get creative with it, but we
do have an issue coming down the line with losing our overflow parking that is going. So, we're looking at trying to do a study to really tell us what we can do with the parking lot and then go out and try to get the appropriate things done
so we can meet the needs of everybody. Uh, outdoor restroom renovations. If you've been to Friendship Park, Sweetwater Park, uh recently, we've actually done full bathroom rens through ARPA funds, but we
want to get all of the remaining park restrooms that are older uh up to snuff. We're trying to get kind of the standard if you've been to Solari Park, that's kind of what we're working with as the standard for all of our bathrooms. So, this is just a continuation. Long Lake Park is probably one of our most
atrocious bathrooms if in my opinion. So, that's where uh I'd love to get those done, but I mean obviously we have a lot of projects we can keep going. >> So, but real quick on that one there, Jack. Um is there a way to add a note to like I know these all still have to get
approved and you go you get it's basically by priority and >> basically life safety and stuff like that. >> Mhm. Um, OSC1, that's where we have basically sewage
coming into the concession stands while we're in there uh during high use events because the toilets are all leaking. >> Did they get it this last time? >> I will I'll know the next event. >> Next event, let me know because I think that they they think they isolated it to the one with the back.
>> I'm just saying I know where you're coming from with that. It's just basically like I said that's I don't know if you can add that into their like >> reasoning why >> uh because like I said now we're walking around in sewage water trying to serve food. Yeah, I got you. I can definitely
add that into the comment sections up here in the description and I can that's where with the CIP forms that we submit if you all as a board have a higher priority I can write into the description justification that this is highly supported by the wreck and parks
advisory board because these documents go in front of our city council as well and they go through it. They go with the recommendation from the director's vote as well. But when you have the more information I have in there, the the more I can give. >> It's almost like putting you all through the same exercise we go through is give
you the list of all the projects, let you all provide us your feedback. You rank them one through 35, whatever the numbers are, >> based on your priority. We'll take all of your results, tabulate them, and see how they score as a board. And we can share that with the directors. We can share that with the council members. You know, I'm not saying it's going to have
any traction, but >> you know, it may provide some insight. It might help us with some of these projects, too. And that's kind of like what I was talking about too about like the our off months and stuff >> is maybe if we had something like this or whatever like and not saying that all
of us have time and or get to all of them but maybe we can go through and add notes to them and send them back to y'all. >> Uh and I know cuz I know council does the same thing. They review stuff and then put notes and questions. So, >> Mhm. >> So, with the CIPs that you guys have currently, if you have notes and stuff,
please get that to me within the next two weeks because we have our CIP kickoff meeting next Wednesday. >> Okay. >> And then I get like a four-week time period to get the whole document together. >> It's probably safe to say like if if you want to review this information and visit the parks and provide feedback, I
mean, maybe send those remarks back with your qu your your homework assignment on master plan possibly. that'll give us plenty of time to update our plan before we go to uh >> and if you want to come out to our office to sit down and go through it with us, please let us know. We have no problem with that. Our offices are out
at Shane Kelly. Uh pool/plash pad resurfacing um the splash zone Riverside pool or marsite, so they have to be replastered every 8 to 10 years. The Olympic pool is a liner pool, so it's a vinyl liner. We just had that replaced a
few years ago. We went from the first generation liner that they ever designed. We're on the seventh. That's how far behind we were. So, we should be in a better place. But like the splash zone's getting resurfaced with that play structure. So, that'll be further down the line. Riverside just got resurfaced after Ian flooded it. The splash pad
with those uh life floor tiles uh we're going to probably replace in the next few years. So, just those are the certain things we call them out just so we don't forget them. Uh moving along. >> Question. >> Yes. uh marite
uh tile in the pool. >> Mhm. >> Doesn't have a long lifespan. >> Your marsite in your pool. >> Yeah. >> You can stretch the longevity of it if you balance the chemicals appropriately. But the one thing that people don't
realize is that water needs calcium. And if you don't put calcium in your pool and you have marsite pools, the water of the the pool will actually take the marite take the calcium out of like your grout in your tiles and that's what makes your tiles start falling. >> Yeah. If you all have home pools, um it's called stabilizer that you have to
add um regularly and it'll help. But >> that's what the contractor say. >> Yep. But calcium is the big uh proponent. We learned that uh with the Olympic pool uh with the some of the tiles that were on there. the water stole all the grout out of the tiles.
That's why they started falling off the wall. Uh at Shane Kelly, uh we're looking that's what we have at OSC. Those are just little storage containment areas that have top dressing, sand, clay, and dirt in them. We're looking to just add one at the uh Shane Kelly Park for the soccer fields.
Uh just so that way the parks guys have a place to store it instead of it just sitting out in the elements and the wind comes through it starts blowing it all away. uh OSC scorers tables. If you go out to OSC, the softball side is in good shape,
but all of our baseball side are uh atrocious. They need to be replaced. And in some cases, the one picture on the right, you can see the bench is still there, but the picture on the left, the bench is completely corroded away. So, we're looking it would help for
obviously OBR and Little League to have like decent scorers tables behind the um the catchers. Uh Riverside Park locker room renovations. Those locker rooms are 35 years old and um I like to say they're prison style
showers because they're completely wide open and uh you really have no privacy and in some cases >> the handles are like 3 ft tall. They put them in there for like little kids. So, >> so we we're just looking to >> spruce it up. >> And then, uh, the last one is our
capital outlay request. The ones that have lines through them are stuff that was funded this year that we've done. Others are the carryover. So, like we have replacement equipment for our fitness room and adding in a couple of elements to the fitness room. Uh, basketball goal replacements. We have a
swan boat replacement for the next three years. We got the first one this year. We're hoping to replace all three by the year 2728. So >> if you go through these, the these are the items that are $5,000 to $25,000 for one item.
>> Okay? So it's a it's a um capital outlay request. You know, we don't have as many requests in this area, but it's something to to look at. So, >> but that's where just give us your feedback on that. If there's something that you think that we're missing that could be added to CIP, by all means, let
us know. But the faster you get it to me, the faster I can get pricing on it, so that way I can get it submitted. >> All right. Lastly, from me, I just got a quick snapshot of everything coming down the line. This is from our January newsletter, so it's going to be a lot of January and February focused things, but
I'll get you March and April. So, coming down the line, the different events. We just had our MLK parade and celebration down at Center Lake Park. Daddy Daughter Dance was just this past Saturday. Uh if you're a golfer, our Relay for Lifeball tournament is this Friday, the 21st,

But we offer the junior lifeguard program that they get a lot of those life-saving skills taught to them and then they actually volunteer and shadow the lifeguards over the summer. It's just a good feeder program to build our lifeguard staff.

everybody out to go watch the fireworks. >> Last last year was good there. Um, it was a good event and I never have truly seen that many people at the mall before. >> It was crowded. >> Um, so walking through the mall, uh, kind of shoulderto-shoulder the whole mall was kind of interesting. >> Mhm.

the gym or riverside, well, mostly the gym on Monday, March 9th, because from about 8:00 a.m. till 3:00 in the afternoon, they're just going to be doing summer camp registrations. >> And it's best to do your online registration for this. You don't have to wait in line. So, >> yes. >> But make sure they already have an
account. >> Yes. Make sure you they can't sign up online without having the account already. So, send them early. >> But yeah, that's I think everything from me. >> That's our snapshot for programs.

It's a lot of work to set it up and take it back down and then we man it. The Legion mans it, but if people want to come out and they
want to help man, it's open from 8:00 to 8 every day. You got to hold on when the wind blows because that time of year the storm's coming through. >> But yeah, it's something we've been doing for a couple years. I I'll get you more information. >> Yeah, definitely. >> Yeah.
