Part: 1

1
00:01:47.520 --> 00:02:02.880

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:18.160
>> Member Christina Fitzpatrick >> here. >> Member Amanda Hoover >> here. >> Member Carol uh Paris >> here. Member Troy Peterson. >> Sure. Thank you. Okay. So, first up, I'll just say welcome to Caroline Paris for new

3
00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:33.519
new member of our committee. Glad you're here to serve us and appreciate that. Um, moving on, we have no minutes to approve. Uh, moving on to comments from the general public. We have nobody in the audience, nobody online obviously. So, we will bring that back to uh the committee. So, comments from the

4
00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:48.480
committee members. Start with uh member Canol. Sorry for you. >> Um, >> have any comments? >> No, I don't. >> Member Peterson. >> Not at this time, Mr. Mayor. >> Member Rosario aka King.

5
00:02:48.480 --> 00:03:05.519
>> The I don't know how appropriate is at this time because we were just trying to talk about what we're going to do with the events in the future and going on to make sure that members of the police department, especially me, understand what we're doing and how we're doing them and when we're doing them so we can make sure we have proper security. Um

6
00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:22.000
and now especially with the fireworks parking is going to be a major issue. So we kind of really wanted to talk about stuff like that and um if this committee's involved in that or wants to be involved in that because this special events then uh I'd be more than happy to talk about it or address our issues that

7
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:39.440
we may have as a police department. Um well obviously boom on the bayou is our first so we'll be specific about that when we get to that but in general um the uh the ones that we have obviously we

8
00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:54.959
want to buy you which we're coming up on um the the one after that would be the September 11th one at the mayor's ball. I don't know what police would be needed at that because that's going to be at Spartan Manor. >> Um so probably not much needed there. Um, and then we have of course the uh

9
00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:08.879
Christmas event which would be in the park. So that would be the uh the next one we would need probably some police coordination. We haven't set a date for that though I don't think we Yeah, we still got to figure that out. Um and then come back to the seafood festival.

10
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:25.840
So um what would be your um preference kind of talking about those as they get close or >> Yeah. Um, so I'm used to having like like a committee like this but made up of um actual department heads in the city that get applications for these

11
00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:41.440
types of events. So then the city knows and IV department has to sign off on it whether it's utilities and we need garbage cans or we need police to direct traffic or we need fire for like maybe medical if we're going to have a lot large gathering um and things like that and just sort of uh maybe and I think we

12
00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:57.840
were going to possibly bring it up in the future to the council to maybe have some kind of an application like that that's more geared towards the employees of the city after the committee um has an idea of what they want to do and then maybe have somebody come forward and

13
00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:12.880
give that to the department head so we can review it and we can understand where we all stand and what we need to do for the events to make sure they go off smoothly and nobody gets hurt or anything else like that. Um we we are going through the uh was last meeting we went through a little bit of that packet

14
00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:28.320
or we trying to remember what we did you guys here but um do you guys remember didn't we go through a little bit of that packet or we tabled it or something >> because we had we had a big packet I think we maybe tabled it because we have a lot of people there anyway so there's

15
00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:43.600
a a whole process that uh we've borrowed from Richie Ben we're going to look at that and kind of do our own for events obviously outside the committee. Um, and maybe we can use a a scaled down version of that or something to kind of because

16
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:59.199
it goes through the departments I think as well and maybe use that once we solidify our date or whatever kind of pass that around once you guys look at it. >> Yeah, we definitely keep it. >> Excellent. You know, and that's what all we're looking for or at least I'm looking for is is >> I don't want to miss an event for one

17
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:15.039
and I definitely don't want something to happen at an event and then we're not even there. and we're not prepared and I don't want anybody to be hurt, >> especially the way this crazy world is operating nowadays. So, we want to make sure everybody has fun and and feel safe at these things. >> Yeah. Well, no, we'll make sure that uh

18
00:06:15.039 --> 00:06:31.280
I think in the past we kind of assumed, I guess, that like S and city manager kind of fill you guys in. But, um once that kind of paperwork gets solidified, we can pass that around, make it more formal so everybody knows. Is it the city of Port Richie Sher um police

19
00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:46.960
department and the sheriff's office coming out that day for the body? >> The sheriff's gonna It'll just be the police department. >> Did they have a big truck last time? >> Like a response truck type thing?

20
00:06:46.960 --> 00:07:02.560
>> They had when you first come in to the left, they had like command post. Oh. >> Um, we're not going to actually have that this year, but we we have revised some of the traffic plans. I don't know if you noticed last year how much easier it was getting out when we were controlling the light on 19 compared to

21
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:17.440
past years where they actually closed down a lane on 19. I really don't like closing down lanes on 19. It's it's a pretty dangerous operation. And last year, we able to get the clicker and control the lights so the traffic was much more safer and it worked a lot easier for us. Um, so we've obtained

22
00:07:17.440 --> 00:07:34.000
additional equipment for this year. I don't want to uh get into the areas where it ends up being chas. I don't think we need to bomb sweep everybody that comes in and out, right? Um but again, we we want to make sure it's it's a safe atmosphere for everybody and and we're monitoring the crowds and everybody has a good time and for sure

23
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:50.319
feels safe and they're not upset at the end of the night when it takes them forever to get out of there. That's a problem I had down south when we're putting everybody in Howard Park. There's only one way in, one way out. So people would just hate it because it would take them three hours to get out of the park, but there was nothing we could do about that. So I just try to

24
00:07:50.319 --> 00:08:06.080
cut those problems off before they start and make things better at every event. And >> you know, I think that's one of the things if we have these um conversations and we have these applications, we can go with it. And then if we have any issues, then we can address them afterwards and make sure we don't make the same mistakes next year.

25
00:08:06.080 --> 00:08:21.280
>> Yeah. Good. >> And you said you're not having the control command. What does that do or why should >> So an actual command post is made up for the traditional uses are in case something big happens, we're already there and we're on scene ready to go. Um

26
00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:36.719
our command post that we have was not equipped to my standards last year. Um we're not ready for it. So it really was kind of a place for people to stand and get air conditioning. Um and I want my guys out there in the crowds in the

27
00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:53.279
parking lots and things like that. So, I didn't think it was really being used properly. So, until we get it outfitted to use properly, which will probably be in the next couple years, we're in the process of starting a real-time crime center so I can actually have a dispatcher sitting there watching things. We'll have drones up to where we can see what's going on in the crowds.

28
00:08:53.279 --> 00:09:08.720
If there's problems, how do we respond? Where do we respond? And um making it safer for everybody else. So, that's we're in the process of redoing that based on budgetaries. >> Cool. Anything else, Je? No. Nope, that's all I got.

29
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:24.320
>> Okay, so we revisit boom and body park and we get down to the committee business. Um, vice chair. >> Yeah. >> Secretary Lari, >> nothing. Thank you. >> Member Hoover. >> No. >> Uh, member Paris, member Fitzpatrick.

30
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:39.519
>> Okay. Uh, I have nothing as well. Um, so moving on, committee business. I'm number one. Boom. On the bayou planning. Um, entertainment, vendors, and amenities is what we had on the agenda. So, um, we briefly talked about having some kind of entertainment, whether it

31
00:09:39.519 --> 00:10:05.120
be a DJ or or band or something. Any thoughts you guys would like to see for the >> guy, >> the Johnny Cash guy. >> Yeah, he was good. >> I wonder if he would be available for that. It would be kind of cool. Um, you

32
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:21.360
guys think about that idea. >> But I only think he plays for like an hour, so we probably would need something else or an hour and a half or two hours maybe. I think he played >> it was a couple hours, huh? I can't remember. >> I don't remember. >> Well, the event's only like six to nine, isn't it?

33
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:39.079
>> Yeah. So, it's >> that's longer than >> we could um because we obviously would stop a little bit before the fireworks. Um, what time is sunset that day?

34
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:59.200
>> Is that the guy that we that almost got rained out in >> No, that was Rocky Boven. >> Rocky? >> Yeah. No, this was Johnny Cash in person. He was really good. Um, he was relatively inexpensive, too. I think >> Yeah, he was very inexpensive. >> And I would like to use him again. He's

35
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:13.600
uh like I say he's reasonable. He's really good entertainer. Let's see. It's June 28th, right? >> 8:30. >> 8:30 sunset. >> 8:31. Yeah. Approximately. >> Okay. So, if we had him play, we're

36
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:31.200
starting at 6. Is that so we could do 6:00 to 8, 6:30, 8:30 or something like that? >> Two hours. >> 8:30. >> You said 8:32. 8:31 today. Um, you guys like that idea?

37
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:47.920
>> Johnny Cash impersonator. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> Maybe bring people out a little earlier instead of, you know, wait. >> Yeah. Hopefully. Um, yeah. So, what if you're good with reaching out? You guys got contact number for him? Yeah. See if he's available. And, um,

38
00:11:47.920 --> 00:12:03.760
>> do we want to see if Diane and Larry can come and DJ too or do you think Bill would be enough if he's available? He probably be enough if he can do it. >> Yeah. See how long he is >> and then >> and get a price from him for the two hours. >> Now, who played the music during the

39
00:12:03.760 --> 00:12:26.320
fireworks last year? >> Was that DJ group? >> So, that's that's a good point, too. if um if we have him, he probably would play during the fireworks. So

40
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:50.160
maybe see what they would do just to do for the fireworks maybe instead of a fullblown thing. I don't know if they would do something like that just for 30 minutes. Or maybe we could maybe kick off with him and then they could have an hour or something like that. >> And as soon as he was done doing the

41
00:12:50.160 --> 00:13:04.320
fireworks, >> well, we could if we had him start and then they were there, he would do his two hours and then the DJ would start and they would play through the fireworks. That way they'd have about an hour. >> So you would still have a DJ then? >> Yeah. For that just for the fireworks. So

42
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:20.720
>> 6:30 to 8:30 and then recover. Well, >> you'd probably be 6 to 8 and then they would do 8 to 9. >> Yeah. because it starts at 6 when we're open. >> Okay. So, what time the doors open? >> Well, yeah. So, is that what the plan

43
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:37.440
is? Open at 6. >> Well, vendors can get in earlier, but the park is supposed to open at 6. >> Well, if we if we schedule him at 6 to play, if we could open up at 5:30 to let people start coming in. >> Yeah. If it's 5:30, two hours mostly.

44
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:53.360
So, >> 3:30. >> 3:30. So, they can set up. So, if the event is going to be three hours, is that going to be enough for the vendors to like sell their items? >> Oh, it should be. I mean, with the the amount of people that

45
00:13:53.360 --> 00:14:10.320
>> come to this. Yeah. >> Yeah, they should. >> I know they we have the extra time. >> Yeah. >> And we have limited vendors this time. So, >> there's 21 signed up, I think. >> Yeah, we have that now. And I have the list where we go over the vendors. Um, and I'm really being selective in that

46
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:27.279
sense. So that we have one, let's say pizza truck. That's the only pizza truck. You want pizza, you go there. >> Yeah. I think of those 21 there's like seven food trucks. >> Uh, four food trucks and then four drink

47
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:43.760
venues. Venues. Vendors. >> Yeah. >> I thought I counted seven. Well, well, food truck >> classification. >> Yes, we have eight uh seven classifications. Yeah.

now. Mhm. >> Um we should have a lot more people that we need to accommodate. So we couldn't take the whole top of the hill obviously, >> right? >> Um I guess we're still planning on doing the parking the way we did recently for seafood festival with the extra around

55
00:16:39.680 --> 00:16:55.920
>> the works. >> Yeah, >> we got those nice sticks too that >> Yes, we do. >> Mar. Um, so do do we monitor that and lock that down at some point or

56
00:16:55.920 --> 00:17:12.799
>> That's what I wanted to ask. Um, right now we have 21. So I just want to know I I know there is um Julie Barnes Barnes from the Whole Cow. She's no longer with the Whole Cow. um she is with Smash uh Smash hamburgers and something hot dogs,

57
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:28.799
but they're like loaded hot dogs, like different types. So, she was interested. She hasn't gone back to me, but I said, "You need approval in that sense." Um but they would be burgers and like loaded dogs. Woo dogs is regular hot dogs. >> I just went for the vendors.

58
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:46.320
>> 25. Um I'm trying to think how is we could get quite a few in there if if we went along the perimeter. >> Four four trucks. >> Well, uh trucks in total. We have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven

59
00:17:46.320 --> 00:18:02.960
trucks. And then Woo Dogs is it's a 10, >> but seven actual trucks. >> So if we the way we did like the first row, like the first two rows, >> the vendors We do the food trucks. >> I almost keep them all off the lawn all

60
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:18.880
together >> and just go along the gravel and so you can put tents right right next to each other all along there. Keep the food trucks maybe >> staggered. We I mean we lay it out or whatever. I mean, I think we can probably still do >> quite a few. I don't know that there's going to be a whole lot that's going to

61
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:34.480
sign up for just that night thing. And and I'm trying to limit the vendors too in the sense of I don't want to have like repeat like one is fragrance but it's like more for the cars and stuff like that. The other one is more for people. Um so I want to keep them

62
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:51.600
limited so that they sell you know >> so if PD is not bringing the command center we can use that area again that for tents. >> Yeah. Fire department would be in the back >> in the back. Yep. So that whole first >> you guys must be intermixed in that. So you need a space

63
00:18:51.600 --> 00:19:08.000
My guys are going to be out and about. >> Okay. >> I would like for us to be more though towards like the pavilion in that sense like our tent like right there when you come in. >> It'd be kind of nice. It's to have them as where you're walking through them to get to the thing. I know

64
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:24.160
>> how our parking lays out. >> Like we had the right there at the start by the the >> the kids playground. Yeah. So, have them go like >> start around there maybe on both sides >> and then food after that. Oh, I like that idea. That's nice.

65
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:43.440
>> Cuz we don't have that many. So, >> that way they they're walking out and then when >> they're walking in and they're walking out too. >> Yeah. >> Um >> Okay. >> Should we do we lock it down or is there any other >> popcorn? Popcorn. Kettle corn guy.

66
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:59.520
What's that? They doing it and they he got mixed up with the date so he can't make it but yes the kettle >> I have that I maybe that other guy >> I'll get I have it at home I can give it to you I don't remember what his name is >> so that's that's like if you guys have suggestions like what do you like let's

67
00:19:59.520 --> 00:20:15.120
say someone comes and says oh I'm going to bring lights >> for the night time or whatever then we would let them in like that sense to be a vendor I just don't want to have it saturated that so many people are selling so many things and >> was it Eric that was doing the Cricorn usually was different company.

You know, they where they sell or not we want them to sell, but obviously >> that's a little different to the food

>> so now we have we know Georgia boy southern barbecue and seafood they sell. >> Yes. >> Because they've done it. And then >> Woo Dogs, the gentleman of the of the hot dogs, he sells. >> Yeah. The lobster guy did well too. I think last seafood festival. They sold out actually. >> Yeah. This is a different lobster guy,

78
00:23:07.919 --> 00:23:23.840
but with lobster >> and then pizza does good pizza. The only thing we're missing is like burgers. >> Yeah. >> Um and then I don't And then we have lemonade, which they make delicious lemonades. They have different types of lemonades. And I think they have light

79
00:23:23.840 --> 00:23:39.440
up Cups. It's a hit. >> Which one? >> Uh Godly lemon. Godly lemonade. Godly squeeze lemonades. >> Okay. >> And then refreshment junction. They're there and everything. >> And then Kota Ice. And then Old Time Floats milkshakes and ice cream floats.

80
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:54.320
Old Time Floats doesn't sell ice cream, right? >> They sell Italian ice. >> Oh, they also sell Italian ice, >> but it's different. >> It's a different type of shaved ice. Shaved ice. Okay. >> It's actually much better. >> Shaved ice and Italian ice. So shaved ice is kind of like a snow cone thing.

81
00:23:54.320 --> 00:24:10.000
They add stuff with the the Italian ice is blended together >> kind of like ice cream. >> So maybe an ice cream person if we find any >> Yeah. Um >> Cuffy Cow did one of our events but they

82
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:27.679
didn't do very well. Was >> not Cuffy Cow. >> The whole cow. Yeah. They're permanent now in um Loots or Lando Lake, something like that. They have a permanent spot. >> I mean, so we probably get a point we probably won't shut down any more food stuff.

83
00:24:27.679 --> 00:24:44.880
>> Yes. And I agree. I mean, do you That's why I'm asking what what do you guys So I know how to vet it >> and we could turn the food stuff signs off individually. >> Ice cream person at um the seafood festival. >> We did. We had um

84
00:24:44.880 --> 00:25:06.159
>> Randy from and I think he cooked them. >> They did other stuff too, but they had ice cream. >> Yeah. >> Can't remember who. >> His name is Randy. Yes. Randy Martin from Frozen and Time Ice Cream. >> See if he wants to come. >> Yeah. >> And then we can lock it down >> and then I would Yeah. Okay. My

85
00:25:06.159 --> 00:25:21.600
suggestion is after we get an ice cream person in the popcorn. >> Popcorn and ice cream person. Okay. And that's for the food. >> And then >> and she said the burgers. >> Oh, and the burgers. Okay. So, burgers, ice cream, and kettle corn. Anything else?

86
00:25:21.600 --> 00:25:43.360
>> We got the pizza, Troy. >> And he makes really good pizzas, actually. >> What about donuts? >> Donuts. That's a good one. We can >> be there if you need that. Um, >> and then what about other vendors?

87
00:25:43.360 --> 00:25:58.799
>> Uh, leave it open for them, I think. >> Okay. So, leave it open for them. Yeah. >> How many do we want to allow for that though because you do want to leave the grass open? >> What I'll do is I'll I'll start to kind of do the layout kind of using what we

88
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:13.760
had before, but move the vendors along there and just kind of see countwise would work. >> How many would we get in a row? We had >> eight. No, but how many did we get in one row back to back? >> Was it 10? >> I don't remember. Hang on. Let me see if I can.

89
00:26:13.760 --> 00:26:30.400
>> It was probably around that. >> I mean, we can do the whole walkway up to where the the fire trucks are, right? >> Yeah. There's a lot of space along a walkway. >> I like that idea, though, that people are walking in and they're seeing the tents and then they get to the place

90
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:46.640
>> that Do you know? Are they planning on shooting them off a barge in the water? Or are they going to do it again off the land? >> That I don't know yet. >> I was I was thinking that they were maybe going to do it again. Do you say anything to you, Kim? Where they were going to launch them from? Cuz last time

91
00:26:46.640 --> 00:27:01.360
they launched them right there from the bank. >> I think they were launching from the bank. I'm not >> I was thinking they were going to do the same thing. >> Yeah, I think it's going to be the same. >> Yeah. And they Yeah, they landed on you everything. Yeah. Really interactive. >> Zooming like a 40 show.

92
00:27:01.360 --> 00:27:16.880
>> Yeah. I was covered in >> fireworks debris or something. >> It's snowing. >> Yeah, I actually put uh in the time capsule, I put some of the casings from the fireworks in the time capsule.

93
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:33.760
Spoiler alert, 100 years from now, 50 years from now, they'll find those. >> Somebody's going to be like, "What is this?" >> No, I I laid it. >> Okay. >> Like there's this garbage in here. >> It's an artifact. And it puts it's sealed in a little ziplockc baggie, too. So, you probably won't probably still

94
00:27:33.760 --> 00:27:51.360
smell the the uh phosphor, >> but it's sold in 2025. >> So, yeah, I think we So, we'll we'll shut down the food stuff. We'll leave the vendor stuff open and we'll play that by ear meeting to meeting. >> Sounds good. >> And I'll kind of figure out what our

95
00:27:51.360 --> 00:28:15.039
limit is. >> Um, okay. So, that's vendor stuff. >> Yeah. entertainment. >> I have a quick question for just um and are we keeping the same rules so I can let them know as well like if they >> leave early or whatever it is

96
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:31.200
>> they're done they get arrested Georgia boys there's no in and out again. >> Yeah. And I'll make sure no inn-out and if you leave early >> you're done. >> You're done. >> You got blacklisted. Bye. >> Plus it's only 3 hours. So this time it's going to be a little different. >> Yeah. Hopefully. Yeah.

97
00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:46.159
>> Plus, >> but they need to come prepared. So if you're still if you send them that email again like you did the last time, come prepared. We're not providing ice. We're not providing gas. We're not providing electric. >> I think we're going to >> we're not babysitting. Where you might

98
00:28:46.159 --> 00:29:10.880
see the problem is is when the fireworks starts >> that they want to >> the one that's kind of interior, but if we have them out towards the the front, >> they seem to know that >> they can't leave until all the patrons have left. >> Yay. >> If you like it too, that know that's,

99
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:26.880
you know, more for safety. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. and and >> and they have a chance to sell stuff as the people are walking. >> Yeah. >> And I think that's something that the police would say like can't be moving around if people are walking because we how many people do we expect >> over a thousand,

100
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:42.480
>> right? >> Have we have we had a lot more >> over I said over a thousand. >> Seems like a lot. Have we had kind Have we had kind of a count for that >> or is this is I guess >> we really did it counting

101
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:58.559
>> the boom on for the last fourth of July I wanted between what was in the park and then what was at guild dogs it was probably close to 4500 >> including restaurants. Yeah. Okay. Wow. >> Including Hooters and >> yeah the two

102
00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:16.559
>> about 4500 >> next to Hooters. So you think probably over a thousand in park alone >> maybe this year be bigger because it's >> at least a thousand >> okay >> um so that's entertainment and vendors

103
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:33.440
anything else on vendors and entertainment >> no >> okay amenities porta potties >> so we're probably going to need more than what we had in the past well at least for the seafood festival >> how many have we done traditionally in the park for We'll still we have the bathrooms in the

104
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:50.320
thing open or no? >> Those be closed. >> So we have beer cans in there. >> Correct. >> I was going to ask why do we not just utilize bathrooms? >> Well, because the one time we we did that and people flushing stuff down there and then it wasn't >> they had to have utilities come out and

105
00:30:50.320 --> 00:31:06.640
they had >> Yeah. It backed up everywhere and then we had people on trying to perform on the stage and there was a mess. >> It was disaster. >> Yeah. >> Good answer. Yeah, it was unfortunate, but yeah, was case. >> Are we going to allow people on the pavilion or is that going to be roped

106
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:26.799
off at all? >> Roked off. Yeah, because there um and so for what do we have for the centennial? I think we had five, four, >> four. Uh, no. For S, uh, four, I think,

107
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:44.120
>> cuz we did three for seafood, right? >> Yeah, I think it was three and I think we did >> four maybe five. Maybe we did five for the Centennial. I'd have to look at the I have the paper at home. I'd have to look. >> I know we had two wash stations for sure. Um,

108
00:31:45.120 --> 00:32:04.320
and you know, so about those wash stations. I've been to several places and I've seen those occasionally. The last one I was at, I did see them, but most of the time you don't have those. They have like hand sanitizer in

109
00:32:04.320 --> 00:32:24.960
the in the actual porta potty. >> Oh, well, that's disgusting. >> Yeah. hand sanitizer >> especially the pandemic they're talking about coming >> you should really have proper >> hygi sanitizer but >> but hand sanitizer just kills the germs

110
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:41.120
and then when washing actually removes the germs >> removes the dead germs right okay >> um >> washing doesn't kill the germs it just flushes them off your hand sanitizer Gotcha. >> But we want to do all handicap, right?

111
00:32:41.120 --> 00:32:56.720
Because there's not much of a price difference on those, >> right? Yeah. >> Yeah. It was nice. >> Yeah. I think the one I was just at, they were all the handicap ones, too. Nice open lot of room. >> There's none that have like a porta potty and a wash sink right there next to it or no,

112
00:32:56.720 --> 00:33:12.320
>> like inside. >> I just want to say those wash sinks are kind of expensive, aren't they? They were >> They're almost as much better than a hospital bill. So, get the prices on what those are, I guess. Um, and we'll probably shoot for

113
00:33:12.320 --> 00:33:28.559
four or five and then one or two wash stations probably. >> What about the Can you get a quote for the trailer that comes in? Oh, if you're paying that much to get

114
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:44.320
five of them and the trailer comes in and has multiples of them. >> Usually has hand washing things sometimes too. >> Yeah, we check on the trailer. >> I did. >> How many do they norally get stalls in those? Three. >> There's two, there's four. There's all

115
00:33:44.320 --> 00:33:59.039
different sizes. >> Well, I know the men's only have a couple urinals and a at least one. >> Some of them don't have holding tanks either, so they have to have a sewer connection. Make sure you check >> when it's for an event.

116
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:21.359
>> Yeah, >> see if there's a option there. >> There's a there is a place on 52. I don't know what the name of it is that has >> tent I guess the other amenity. >> Yeah. In fact, I'm looking.

117
00:34:21.359 --> 00:34:37.440
>> I think I think we should buy one. >> If we're going to rent one, I would agree that we should buy one. >> We would agree with that. >> Do you really need a 10 at 6 to 9 at night? >> Well, true. Because it's uh

118
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:54.560
>> because you you it's the fireworks. >> Yeah. Don't Have we used one in the past? I don't think we have for did we? Did we? rain would be the only thing. But >> I know a couple years ago I had my mom and dad here and uh we did have a tent

119
00:34:54.560 --> 00:35:10.000
and it was still pretty hot at 6:00. >> Yeah. >> My dad's my dad sat underneath the tent. I think the one year we we rainstorm came in too. What that time? >> Yeah. >> I thought it was last year.

120
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:26.240
>> Maybe maybe it was. I mean it just kind of came in and rained. Everybody went underneath the tent for a short season, then stopped raining. So, by having the pavilion shut off, it would give a place for shelter.

121
00:35:26.240 --> 00:35:42.880
Um, you know, you can get a 20 by 50 heavy duty party tent with carrying bags for $819. >> Probably not all that high quality, but we're using it a couple of times a year. Well, if if if we're going to invest in

122
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:59.119
one, we need to make sure we get one that's going to last for sure. Um and those some of those tents, they're cheap. >> Yeah. >> You put them up a couple times, they're done. >> Yeah. >> Um I can't I thought when we talked about that, do we leave that with staff

123
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:17.359
to kind of check into I don't know if they >> I don't remember. Um I mean here's a 20 by 30 heavy duty 549. I mean >> table the tent table. >> Yeah, we we we can have staff look into

124
00:36:17.359 --> 00:36:35.040
options I guess. >> Do you want to volunteer the big tent again? >> Well, we I mean we can but do you want us to put up the big tent again? It works for me. I mean,

125
00:36:35.040 --> 00:36:51.599
>> people can bring umbrellas or we can invest in umbrellas and hand them out >> because if we can save if we can save some money there, >> but you know, we we may ask for volunteers so they can come that morning

126
00:36:51.599 --> 00:37:06.320
is a long time. >> Yeah, it's it's not an easy job. In fact, some people that I've asked, he said, they have told me, "Don't ask me to do this again." >> You're running out of volunteers. >> I'm running out of volunteers. >> We keep talking about tents. What about

127
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:22.640
just building a building a pavilion out there? Like a bigger one, right? >> It's coming. >> Well, that's future stuff. Yeah. >> We got to deal for now. >> We use a pavilion this time.

128
00:37:22.640 --> 00:37:39.359
>> We're going to have music setting up there. It's going to be written. >> Yeah. I mean, I would probably be okay since it's night time. We probably could get by without it. >> Yeah. Well, so 8:30, so the sun will be out. But >> yeah, >> because a lot of the families and kids, they sit, they put their blankets down

129
00:37:39.359 --> 00:37:55.680
and they sit and they relax and they watch the fireworks and >> Yeah. >> Yes. Probably two years ago. >> Yeah. That's where a tent, you know, you can't see the fireworks sitting on tent. >> Yeah. Know. >> Yeah.

130
00:37:55.680 --> 00:38:11.040
Um, I do have a question. >> Okay. >> Did when you had the command station out there, did we have anyone going into a heat stroke that we had to bring into the AC? >> Our command post isn't for that. That would be the fire department. >> Okay. Fire. >> And there should be there.

131
00:38:11.040 --> 00:38:30.320
>> They usually bring that big truck. >> So, the fire also has >> I think the tent will obstruct the view also. I >> uh golf cart stuff >> do golf cart parking like we did the

132
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:45.359
last time >> but below right >> that was uh >> I didn't like them driving through like that. >> Yeah. I mean it I was saying will that be too close to the fireworks? I don't know. >> Yes. How about if they park where like

133
00:38:45.359 --> 00:39:02.160
on the on by the dog park? We have the designated parking there >> or where we put the where we had the Why don't we put them where we had the inflatables? We can have them back in over there. >> Yeah, >> cuz that whole group over there should be fine over there. >> Yeah. >> And we could probably get up against the

134
00:39:02.160 --> 00:39:17.280
fence and then you could still go on the walkway. >> Yeah, you're right. >> I don't I don't recall us having a whole lot of golf carts come to the Fourth of July thing. >> No. Um, >> we had a lot at the seafood festival because of the poker run, but

135
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:38.480
>> we probably had about 10 or 15 though. >> Yeah, >> if they come, they can park. >> They can park over. >> Yeah, we can designate that over there as for golf cart parking. >> Okay. Any other amenities you can think of that we didn't talk about? >> So, did we decide no tank?

136
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:54.000
>> Yeah, let's roll the dice on this one. We're going to have a lot of tent vendors there. So if rains or something maybe >> and we'll have a tent, right? >> I mean really what I mean if it if it's if it calls for rain, people should bring an umbrella. >> Yeah. >> So

137
00:39:54.000 --> 00:40:10.400
>> do we make a motion for no tent? >> We just consensus. >> Okay. >> Any objections to not having a tent? >> Okay. No tent. You're off the hook there. >> Like >> if it rains, we blame you. Rain.

138
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:27.119
>> So, pray extra we don't have any rain. >> Yeah. >> Oh, the only other the lights for that back parking lot by the dog park. >> We're probably going to have to >> Oh, get one of those. Maybe >> maybe rent one of those. We can see if staff can see about renting it because they were out there. Fire was out there

139
00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:44.400
with their >> Do you guys have any kind of >> lights like that? No. >> Nope. >> Well, this year we should have a message board that we want. So, we'll have it out in time, but that's not it. >> We need lights. It was so dark over there. >> All the lights light up a scene if you

140
00:40:44.400 --> 00:41:00.240
need to >> portable lights with the generator. >> Well, you know, those big pole lights. >> Oh, yeah. Can we also make sure that the electric company has all the lights working? >> They didn't have them working. >> Well, yeah, they fixed them all, right?

141
00:41:00.240 --> 00:41:16.440
>> I don't know. I haven't been out there. >> They were supposed to fix them. Has anybody checked from here. >> I don't know. >> They weren't working. They So, we >> It was submitted. I thought that it was fixed. >> Yeah. Make sure staff knows to check the lights before.

142
00:41:16.560 --> 00:41:35.119
>> I also made my note about the fire ants to see if they could treat the fire ants. >> Oh, yeah. Good. >> I'll get my list. >> Anything else on that? Uh, let's see. It's May 21st. So, we got

143
00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:56.640
a month and a week. So, we got to get some stuff back next. Um, is there anything else we want for we want to buy you talk about? >> Sponsors. >> Oh, yes. We get an update on sponsors. That's a good point. >> And a banner. I know there's some social media stuff

144
00:41:56.640 --> 00:42:12.400
out there that doesn't have the one sponsor that we have on it, >> which is >> coast. >> Coast. >> Okay. >> Huh. >> I told you I was going to make that graphic. >> So then Okay.

145
00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:30.319
>> Yeah. So I know that the the stuff went out to all the businesses we had. I don't know if we've had any more. I've heard. Um, so probably haven't had any come in other than 2500. Um, we do have gosh I I want to say we had seven going

146
00:42:30.319 --> 00:42:47.920
into the seafood and we actually had,500 added to that afterwards. So, and so we're probably sitting around 12 grand probably. >> Um, previously we discussed appreciation products for the previous event.

147
00:42:47.920 --> 00:43:06.160
>> Yeah, that's on me. Yes, I've got the information. I got to design it, but have a chance you haven't been traveling. >> I wasn't sure if the seafood festival from last time was >> Yeah, that's that's um I'll have that soon. >> I do have minutes. Just I have to send

148
00:43:06.160 --> 00:43:23.040
them. >> Yeah. And actually speaking of minutes, so I don't know that our last meeting recorded. I didn't see it out there. Something something went wrong. So I typed. >> Yeah. So those that's that's our record. Um,

149
00:43:23.040 --> 00:43:40.240
anything else? >> Yeah. Can we just um have somebody draw us a map for the first responders so fire department, police department know exactly where everybody's going to be with the text? >> Yeah. Yeah, that I'll be working on that. >> Um, anything on the specific to that?

150
00:43:40.240 --> 00:43:55.599
traffic-wise, police-wise, if you want to. >> We're just concerned about the parking because, like I said, I don't know if we're not going to be able to use the lots that we normally use and seafood was kind of uh jam-packed all over the place. At night time, we're not sure

151
00:43:55.599 --> 00:44:11.680
where people are going to park and we don't want people parking on sidewalks because then people have to walk in the road and we don't want somebody to be walking on the road to get hit by a car. So, that's why most of my guys are going to be on the outside in the beginning to make sure. And then we also don't want people parking places that they

152
00:44:11.680 --> 00:44:26.079
shouldn't park and then all a sudden their car gets broken into because everybody's inside bunch of fireworks. >> So one thing that complicates this is because since it's fireworks, people are going to be going to like catches and hooters and all that. They they were allowing us to park in their overflow, but they're probably going to need their

153
00:44:26.079 --> 00:44:44.480
overflow for patrons. Um, so, um, >> you think we could possibly ask Hidden Creek if he he would have some people be able to shut off some golf carts from Walmart? >> That might be an idea. Yeah. Um, >> a good idea.

154
00:44:44.480 --> 00:45:00.000
>> He might do that as a sponsorship even. Let me talk to Ros. Good idea. And then have park at Walmart and they shove them over. Yeah, that's a possibility. >> So, I I don't remember if it was discussed. I don't know if you're having a parking garage at some point, but are

155
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:17.119
you talking about big open field in the middle or where else? Where are you going to allow parking? >> We don't have any open field in the middle. So, >> it was someone's property. I know. >> Yeah. >> And and you and and you could park there. Right. It was nice and level, but

156
00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:33.040
it's not anymore. So, it's not you can't use I mean, you could you could park around the side of it and we probably do some of that. Um, >> I are tow trucks going to be out there trying to tow people that night is I'm curious >> if

157
00:45:33.040 --> 00:45:48.400
No, not unless we call them. And the only time we're going to call them is because I'm safe. So like we have fireworks going on. If somebody parks in front of a fire hydrant, we got to get that car out of there. But if they're just illegally parked somewhere and it's not in a danger to society, then you know, we can give them a warning or

158
00:45:48.400 --> 00:46:04.079
something like that for events. That's why we're trying to take care of this problem before the fact. We don't want to give people tickets and tow their cars and then they had a terrible night and then they don't ever want to come back. We want to try and find a happy medium for everybody so everybody's safe and happy and has a good time.

159
00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:19.680
>> I know they always end up parking down O Post Road along the side. So, >> and that's the problem with that's the main walkway and that most people from the neighborhoods come if they're going to come down there and walk or ride their bike or bring their kids. >> Is there enough easement between the

160
00:46:19.680 --> 00:46:36.000
road and the sidewalk? No, they pretty much park on the sidewalk when they do that. So, >> can you allow them to park half on the road and half on the grassa even? >> You if we did and there's an emergency and the fire department has to get out

161
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:53.280
or another fire truck needs to come in, we're going to be smashing a lot of cars. >> I would say on one way. Yeah, it because when you start going with two cars and then you have traffic like that, it's it's >> I would say yes, but I'm not going to be responsible for damaged cars either. So, that's why we try to plan ahead of time

162
00:46:53.280 --> 00:47:09.599
to prevent that. And, you know, that was the big thing with the parking is it's rougher this year because especially if we have a larger crowd because it's Sunday, we're going to be the only one having fireworks. If people missed the other places on Friday and Saturday, it's like, hey, we can still go to Port Richie and we end up with 10,000 people, we're going to have major parking

163
00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:25.760
problems. Um, and that would be fantastic to have that many people. >> Um, but we just prepare for the most and, you know, go with it that way. So, we're trying to figure it out. >> People have their house parties along the river.

164
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:41.200
>> Well, they'll do that anyway. Yeah. But, I mean, >> I mean, eventually I think the city is going to need like a shuttle bus for public, you know. I know St. Pete has one. >> Yeah. And that's the thing, too. somebody wants to reach out to PSTA and see if they want to give a special

165
00:47:41.200 --> 00:47:58.160
events bus because if we're driving people back and forth with golf carts, it's going to take a long time to go back and forth to Walmart, but if they actually have a larger bus might be helpful. >> What about friendly I know it's not friendly Kia, but they used to have the trolley that would bring people from point A to point B like in downtown

166
00:47:58.160 --> 00:48:13.760
Newport Richie. What about having a shuttle from downtown Newport Richie parking lot to Port Richie? >> That might be a little far. Yeah, that's >> the uh but I was I was thinking I don't know you know Newport Richie has those >> shuttle like things they have. I don't I

167
00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:29.440
don't know if it's a contracted group or if they own those or I think maybe they own them and they they pay somebody to drive them or something. >> I can ask and see if maybe we could use them that Sunday. >> What is it like >> and we can use Walmart in the meantime

168
00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:48.400
that they use for crawl for the cure to shovel everybody back and forth to How about that? Yeah. >> Well, they they use them >> for the tour, right? Yeah, we use them for the tour. >> Historic tour. Maybe they shuttle people. >> Yeah, they have those little buses

169
00:48:48.400 --> 00:49:08.160
because it's better than golf carts. >> Yeah, >> this is buses. People you have one drop off, one pickup here. Get in the car, go. We can see how much it would be. Yeah, we could call like a school bus. >> I just I know.

170
00:49:08.160 --> 00:49:24.720
>> I mean, it's an idea. >> Big trolley. Do you know who has the big big trolley? >> Like the jolly trolley. >> It was a big trolley and they would shuttle people. You literally just get on the trolley and they would shuttle you. I think

171
00:49:24.720 --> 00:49:44.079
>> they run usually like usually they run every 30 minutes >> I mean but I think it's an idea to fit more people in a bus type of thing >> will be fun. >> You know the the difficult thing about having remote parking and and shuttle

172
00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:59.200
services is getting people to use it. Um it's it's not something that people want to do. Um, so you can build all that infrastructure in, but people are still going to come down there, want to park on Old Post Road. And >> um,

173
00:49:59.200 --> 00:50:17.440
>> was was anyone around back in the day when GU Square Mall did all of their fireworks? People parked up and down 19. They had the big GU Square parking lot parking lot and across the street and they filled everywhere. But my point of that is how far of a distance can people

174
00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:34.240
see the fireworks? Can they see them from Walmart? Will they sit in the Walmart parking lot? Can they see them? Where can they see them from? >> Well, you probably see them all around the city depend on the trees. So, you're looking through. I mean, you're gonna >> I was wondering >> I don't know if Walmart

175
00:50:34.240 --> 00:50:52.240
>> like the very >> So, we do we do have um obviously the city has the the corner lot there that Whiskey Joe's use for overflow parking. I'm sure we could use that because they won't probably need that. You know, I can ask about that, which is close. Uh,

176
00:50:52.240 --> 00:51:11.119
all the boat traffic and that should be almost done by then, we could possibly ask CoQas to use that center lot down there to have some parking. I mean, closer lots we can get to where people can park and walk, the better. Um,

177
00:51:11.119 --> 00:51:25.280
and I think >> there is going to be boat traffic, though, because people are going to go on the boat. >> It's a Sunday, too. So, >> um, >> and they probably would stay in the water actually for that to be honest. So, >> I don't know how much

178
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:48.720
>> he would have. We can ask. It's It's Yeah, it's stuff. Vendor parking is an issue obviously. So, do we want to >> Didn't we say we were going to park them in the back? We're going to put them where we put them last time and then we'll fill in. They're going to be stuck.

179
00:51:48.720 --> 00:52:03.599
>> No, but where didn't we say we were going to put them in the back? I think >> Oh, up top, right? We're going to put them up. >> Tell them that's it. You cannot >> They're going up top this time cuz we're not going to have >> up top where >> um >> by Yeah, by that brown.

180
00:52:03.599 --> 00:52:20.640
>> So, we have vendor parking there >> up in the back. But we can only put so many up there. I mean, if they have if somebody's got a truck with like a trailer, we're not That whole back side be parking. Okay. >> Behind their um truck.

181
00:52:20.640 --> 00:52:36.800
>> That's what I was just exact. Exactly. >> They have to be >> cuz then it's going to take up space. >> You just have to park. >> Well, they'll probably they'll probably stay connected, I would imagine. >> Well, those are like Yeah, those are the food vendors, but the tent vendors can't stay with

182
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:52.480
>> any food probably. I mean, we could keep them for the most part. I just don't like that. Like in the seafood festival, it didn't look good that they're connected. It just I don't know. Gives it a a look. >> I don't think we only have

183
00:52:52.480 --> 00:53:10.319
>> that many. >> We can put them back down where we had them connected. >> Yeah. Let's see how many we have. >> But we have to tell them we can't move. >> I think the the more we can keep up on top or

184
00:53:10.319 --> 00:53:26.960
with their 10 the more parking we'd have over on the other side, >> right? >> Yeah. Right. >> Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. >> Put some up there. >> Then you can park some more. >> But it's kind of mushy over there, too. So, just be careful.

185
00:53:26.960 --> 00:53:42.240
>> Well, if it's going to be wet. I mean, if if we do if we do park where we think about the golf cart park or whatever and we we park vendors over there, that help. That's

186
00:53:42.240 --> 00:53:58.800
>> I don't know. Put putting cars right along like where people are sitting and watching the fireworks. >> No, >> there's no bags over there. >> Nobody's over there. >> And there's not going to be over there. >> Matter of fact, you got tree cover over there.

187
00:53:58.800 --> 00:54:13.760
>> No, but we could where you had the blowup stuff. >> Oh, I thought Yeah, I thought you were talking about putting it where the golf carts were. >> No, we were going to do where the blowups were. We're talking about golf cart parking there. Do you do? >> No. >> Oh, we're at the blowoff. Yeah. >> It's not a fun time. >> Right.

188
00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:30.000
>> What about regular parking there? Because the more regular parking we could have and keeping the vendors up on top. >> Well, I think we I think we do keep them up top as much as we can and then secondary have them over there where the the blowup stuff was. And that way it

189
00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:47.520
opens up all the stuff around the dog parking for patrons. >> We should tell them to unhook their trailers. >> Yep. >> Yeah. We should just say you have to unhook your vehicle >> to maximize space. >> Yeah, they have to unhook. >> What's the distance between the food trucks?

190
00:54:47.520 --> 00:55:05.760
>> 15 ft. >> What's this? What's the distance of a cover truck? >> So, if you have them connected, that fills the space that you got to maintain distance between them. Anyway, >> it just looks tacky. Yeah, it's not. I

191
00:55:05.760 --> 00:55:22.400
think I one was connected on the outside, but the one on the inside they didn't have their vehicle connected. >> All of them were connected. >> The lemonade. >> Yeah, the lemonade was connected. All of them were connected. >> I know cuz >> we had one that

192
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:37.359
>> they were told to disconnect and then we told the one to disconnect and one didn't disconnect and then they were arguing that we said just connect. Stay connected. So yeah, we'll just do disconnect. Looks nicer.

193
00:55:37.359 --> 00:55:54.480
>> Okay. Well, this >> Well, my thought is you can't have anything between anyway. >> No. No. But people can walk by and stuff, >> right? But where they where they disconnect, they got to park somewhere. So, you're basically taking up a parking space because of pesathetics and you're

194
00:55:54.480 --> 00:56:09.520
adding a parking space somewhere else because you can't put anything in. >> Might as well keep them connected. >> That's what I say. If you connected, it may not be the most aesthetically pleasing thing, but it solves a parking space because you can't put it. >> But can we put them like this? Cuz when

195
00:56:09.520 --> 00:56:24.559
they were connected, we were still leaving space. >> So, it's actually taking up more space. >> Well, so if you So, the I assume that as long as the food truck itself is separated, the car in between is okay. >> Or is it? >> That's probably fire question.

196
00:56:24.559 --> 00:56:40.559
>> Yeah, car is gas probably. So, it's better just >> because it is taking up more space. >> Well, I want to say the one lemonade stand I'm pretty sure the one was >> it was the lemonade stand was like this and then the car was parked this way.

197
00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:56.480
The lemonade was connected >> to what to their truck, their pickup. >> I know that one. They had a pickup truck. >> All right, we'll figure that out. That's probably worth the question of fire. If they stay hooked hooked up, if we can

198
00:56:56.480 --> 00:57:12.319
put them right together. If not, it does. I'd say move them out. >> Yeah. Not >> I was thinking if if they can actually park there. >> If you think about it, the food truck blows up, the car is going to blow up, too. >> Well, I don't know what the fireworks.

199
00:57:12.319 --> 00:57:27.440
>> That's why they have >> I don't know what the rule is. >> If they ask you want dead space or >> Yeah. >> Could you put tents in between there? I don't know. >> Hello. So, >> Georgia Boy has a smoker.

200
00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:44.640
>> Yeah, we probably want him in the back. >> Yeah. >> Um, my last thing is just a question. Are we going to have any signs out there for saying no fireworks, no alcohol? >> Otherwise, people will be bringing sparklers in fireworks and lighting them

201
00:57:44.640 --> 00:58:01.119
off themselves. And >> make sure we police all that. And the same thing >> no fireworks outlers sign. >> Well, that mean they won't. >> Yeah. >> So, it's good to have a liability sign. >> No, entrance park. >> No fireworks.

202
00:58:01.119 --> 00:58:18.160
>> No outside fireworks and no alcohol, right? >> So, maybe in the flyer we can go ahead and add that on the bottom. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Our advertisement has put that out. Have that in there, too. So, >> I think it says already says no alcohol, >> no handguns.

203
00:58:18.160 --> 00:58:37.680
weapons. Okay, this is obvious. >> Well, actually, I mean, we can limit it if we have a sign posting it. Otherwise, we would have a hard time with people carrying guns in there. >> Oh, so no weapons. >> No weapons. >> No weapons. No fireworks. No alcohol.

204
00:58:37.680 --> 00:59:04.480
>> No fun. Okay. >> We just need those posted at the entrance. >> Sure. >> Did you put carry on carryins on there, too? I mean, because I mean, that's a common thing. People cooler.

205
00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:21.680
>> It's on the It says no coolers or backpacks on the advertisement right now. >> Okay. Well, you have to >> you want buy and buy from, >> huh? >> Some families need to bring snacks for their kids. >> You're supposed to buy >> supposed to buy

206
00:59:21.680 --> 00:59:37.440
snacks. >> It's free. >> Yes. And >> if you want to eat, we have a little bag everyone. Okay. We'll carry a purse. Little purse. >> Yeah. We're not >> We're going to arrest you if you bring a bag of chips in your purse, but we don't want people bringing in a

207
00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:53.440
>> an entire cooler >> two cool stuff, right? >> Chicken wheel. If you want snacks, we know to go to Christina. >> She'll have them. I have snacks last. >> I think that's who my kids got snacks from last year. Is that right?

208
00:59:53.440 --> 01:00:09.359
>> I played the fifth. I have no idea what Sean. >> Wait, is this being recorded? >> Yeah, >> I gave away What? I did give away something last. Oh, I gave away little toys. >> Yeah, we just want to encourage we I mean people are paying to be there. We want to make sure that they make money,

209
01:00:09.359 --> 01:00:24.400
>> but you don't want to discourage families from bringing their kids. >> Yeah, we want to bring kids. We just want to buy some food there. >> They'll come. They'll come. >> They'll come watch fireworks. >> You want to know what I'm thinking? >> I don't. You're right.

210
01:00:24.400 --> 01:00:40.880
Anything else on we want to buy you? Okay. Um, old business. Any old business? >> I got the menu for Spartan Manor for >> Wait, that's not old business. You're

211
01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:58.400
talking about another event, right? >> Well, be old business. Yeah, >> I just got the I just wanted to give an update that I got the menu at Spartan Tuesday options. Yes. Okay. >> Um, yeah, we do need to start talking about that. I did uh let me just give

212
01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:13.440
you an update. So, I met with Jean Cash with Dollhouse Vets. I can't remember if I said that last meeting or not, but um he's going to build a dollhouse um that will the proceeds will go towards the um well, Tunnel Towers is

213
01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:30.319
the the hope. We still got to work all that stuff out. So, I'll be bringing that up council on Tuesday to see where we're at on that policy. Um but we do need to we've got the date locked in. We probably we probably need

214
01:01:30.319 --> 01:01:46.000
let's see that's September May >> we we probably need to get something out there with the date and advertisement at least um >> and we really need to solidify who the

215
01:01:46.000 --> 01:02:05.319
who's going to benefit when we do that. Um, so I say our next meeting on the agenda, let's let's talk about the mayor's ball and I'll try to get some clarity on Tuesday.

216
01:02:05.359 --> 01:02:23.040
Um, and we can talk about setting the ticket prices and stuff like that. So we but we we need to get some kind of advertising out there so people are >> all right >> marking their calendar. >> Are we still trying to get sponsors for Boom on the B?

217
01:02:23.040 --> 01:02:39.359
>> Yes. >> You got somebody? >> Maybe. >> And do we have a flyer for Boom on? >> Yes. >> Can I get copies tonight? >> No. >> It's you print off on It's on the website.

218
01:02:39.359 --> 01:02:54.559
>> It's on the website. But >> you want to print something here. Everybody left. It's just us. >> Yeah. Um if you if you call Ashley tomorrow, >> she's off. >> Oh, she's off >> Tuesday. >> I'll send an email. >> Yeah, send emails. If you get some

219
01:02:54.559 --> 01:03:10.000
copies, do front. >> I don't I didn't see any when I walked in. >> We probably get some out there anyway. >> Nature Coast has it posted. It's on It's on Facebook. >> It's on Facebook. Yeah. >> Yeah. Did you if you wanted?

220
01:03:10.000 --> 01:03:25.760
>> No, I want flyers that I can post at the basketball games, baseball games, get it out to the community because even the last event I didn't know about it except because I was here. >> It's not out in the community. >> Yeah, this fire >> shared over 80 times.

221
01:03:25.760 --> 01:03:43.760
>> Well, sharing some people aren't on Facebook in social media. >> That is true. I don't know how many people use social media. Um, I've heard 10%. Which seems odd, but >> is that it? >> It's It was odd number I heard. Yeah.

222
01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:59.359
But, um, it's hit or miss. You either see it or you don't. >> People private message. I'm like, just call me. >> Yeah. >> I'm not checking Facebook all the time. >> We found out we actually go door to door and get people flyers. That's

223
01:03:59.359 --> 01:04:15.359
>> just one way that, you know, a lot of people aren't on. Well, I will say I mail out for the election. This example of mailing get something in somebody's hand. 2,000 flyers five times we had 400 people vote. So we got 1,800 people in the

224
01:04:15.359 --> 01:04:30.240
city. So >> So that doesn't work either. >> It doesn't work either. Exactly. >> So >> short of going to their house and say, "Hey, come down to Waterfront Park with us. What's going on?" Fireworks. I had no idea. >> Do we have um the yard signs out at the

225
01:04:30.240 --> 01:04:47.200
playground here at Waterfront Park? playground. >> The what? >> The yard signs. >> They're not made yet. >> Yeah, we're going to make them. >> Okay. So, when will those be made and put up? Because even the people that were at the event at the seafood festival the day before didn't even know

226
01:04:47.200 --> 01:05:02.960
about the seafood festival. We really need to get the yard signs out. >> Yeah. At the park. >> Do we have them on the bay signs from the >> They have the They have the old date on them. We can get stickers. >> Yeah. Oh, I don't know if it

227
01:05:02.960 --> 01:05:17.440
>> I wouldn't say we made those up to be reused possibly, but I can't remember. Yeah, we may have those ready to go. Let's >> You know, your one vendor can easily print out a sticker. >> Yeah, if there's some way we could use those to start advertising. >> We'll see if he's if he even has them.

228
01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:37.440
>> Yeah, we'll check on that. >> Do we had a banner, too, I think. Is the graphic the same? I don't know. Is it >> It's a little bit. Well, the it's got the old logo on it. So, yeah, the No, those don't if if we do have any it has the old logo on it. >> We definitely stick with those.

229
01:05:37.440 --> 01:05:53.760
>> Yeah. You want to put it out too early. >> Yeah. >> Well, and keep in mind the old logo is still our logo. >> Yeah. No, I know. >> So, we still use those and we always do something switch them out later. >> Yeah. See what we got. having that

230
01:05:53.760 --> 01:06:11.039
banner on the fence there are >> you know >> early >> the entrance of the park not up in the front next to the bathroom >> it was by the at the entrance >> I know there was another one too though

231
01:06:11.039 --> 01:06:27.359
>> there were two there was one right at the entrance that was there for the whole week and then we put one in the park the day of >> you missed it >> we should attach it right to the playground fence around it. A couple because parents drive in, they don't pay attention. They

232
01:06:27.359 --> 01:06:43.920
they go in and they play with their kids. And I'm going to use the example of the kids that were there the day before with three autistic kids. They don't they're not their main focus is not what's outside the park. When they're sitting there in a fenced in playground and their kids are playing

233
01:06:43.920 --> 01:07:00.240
and they look around and they can see the signs, >> we can put some signings there. That's fair. >> Hey, yarn. those yard signs. >> Yeah, >> some kind of sign is there in the playground. >> Yeah, but I don't see to put it too early out. I think it should be like a month early week.

234
01:07:00.240 --> 01:07:16.000
>> Three to four weeks. >> Well, I mean it's I mean it's not going to hurt to have it out there earlier because it's four Fourth of July time frame. So, >> yeah, >> you can put it out there today. For example, I just got a save the date for an event in October >> in the mail. >> Today, they're going to think it's Memorial Day.

235
01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:32.480
>> Are we doing save the dates for the mayor's ball or anything? We just we just I just said that. So, we're going to get that. >> Did you mail those out, too? Or >> uh we haven't we didn't in the past. >> The mayor's bill is a little different though. >> We will have there will be invitations that go out for certain folks.

236
01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:51.640
