>> Member Amanda Hoover >> here. Member Carolyn Paris, let the record show member Paris is absent from today's meeting. Member Troy Peterson >> here. Thank you. Okay. Uh, we have no minutes. We'll move on to comments from general public. I don't have the sign of sheet, but anybody like to speak. Okay.
Name and address for the record. >> Leonard Lord. I pastored 8114 Lee Oid Avenue. I just want to thank it's an honor to serve the city. I was just thinking as you opened uh you know it it talks about acknowledge the Lord in all
your ways and he'll direct your path that we plan our ways but he orders his steps. So I just encourage you. you got uh uh Troy there. It would be good to open in prayer and everything. At least what we try to do most for the city is make sure we try to get the Lord's
wisdom in on it and invite him in. But uh that's my thoughts and we are here to serve. I do know you'll be dealing with parking as the pastor every how we could make our parking lot available. I know it's this side of the street, but if you need shuttles or anything like that work, I just want to know we just want
to work with any way we can help. Okay, mayor. Thank you council for all you do and I think if we'll just give everything to Jesus and let him be Lord over all of it. It'll be the greatest city you ever saw. God bless you and thank you. >> Thanks pastor. Yeah, when you was when I saw you out there almost it's not in the
agenda because we don't normally do an invocation because normally we don't have anybody here but we definitely look at adding that and if like say you want to do it every week or every meeting we definitely look at adding that. So >> well he said we're two or three together next more than that. >> That's right. Exactly. Yep. So we'll we'll look at getting that added. Um,
okay. Next, anybody else like to speak? Show hands. Okay. Moving on to comments from committee members. I'll start uh with member Peterson. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um, first I just
wanted to thank the committee. Um, I've watched this committee all from Amanda to Kim to I mean, Kim, you do an amazing job with the flyers and the organizing and everything. We we we couldn't do
this without you. And uh when I think about it, it's all volunteer hours. Um and uh um Carolyn, you're amazing. I just >> just your organizational skills and and
putting the word out there and working with the chamber and the city and putting putting it all together. I'm just thankful to be a part of this committee and it it's a team effort and um you know I believe uh as the body of
Christ um my part is to try to kind of bring in the laborers um that have a pure heart that are not wanting to be noticed and recognized. Look at me what I'm doing and all that stuff. And so if you could help me, um
especially I I know we're going to be talking about parking. Uh we we really don't know what we're doing. I don't. Anyways, um I appreciate Pastor Leonard's comment because I even consider myself not even
the sharpest tool in the shed sometimes, but I believe I'm on this committee uh to bring wisdom. And and it's not my wisdom, it's God's wisdom. and how can we kind of put that all all together to benefit uh the city and and I know
that's why I'm here is to benefit the the city and to bring in the laborers. Um so I just thank even uh each and every one of you for giving me the opportunity to be on this committee that we can be workers together in this.
That's all I have. Mr. Mayor, thank >> thanks Troy. >> Thank you. Member Canola. >> Uh, member Hoover. >> Nothing. Thank you. >> Okay. Secretary Lary, >> nothing. Thank you. >> Vice Chair. >> Um, yes. I want to introduce Scarlett
Ferrer. She is um Nature Coast Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Nature Coast Chamber of Commerce um first intern. And she's going to be assisting us with Boom on the Bayou as well. Um so, hi. >> She's a little camera shy. She's super
nice though. >> She'll be helping us. Um, >> and that's it. That's all I have right now. >> Good. >> Member Fitzpatrick. >> Uh, not at this time. >> Okay. >> We'll wait until >> Okay. Um, and the only thing I have is I
did um for later on I did print out a couple things. We have a parking map and also the the layout for the vendors. We're going to talk about that a little bit though. So, you should have those in front of you. Oh, and I also did uh Christina, I did the food the vendor types.
Um I'm gonna send it to Ashley so she can send me a copy as well. Okay. >> All right. Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Okay. Um so that's all I have. So next up is committee business item number one, final preparations for Boom on the BYU event. Um I've got parking here for
Walmart. Um so why don't we just do parking in general? Um, so if you take out the map that I I have in front of you. So there there is one possible addition. Um, I may have I may have asked that already. I I can't remember. But uh the the casino boat lot there
down if you look at um right where it says Bay View Street, right to the left of where it says Bay View Street, there's a a concrete lot there. We probably can use that as well. So I'll uh I'll just double check with uh the owner there, but I I'm pretty sure I did, but I it slips my mind. So, I'll just make sure. Um, but if you look at
the map, um, from the top left, so we haven't we haven't talked about golf cart parking, but we did have golf cart parking there for the seafood festival. And I think that's probably still a good idea to keep them to the uh the west of the sidewalk there, and they
can basically come in around the back side of the pavilion along that trail there, and they can park their golf carts there. Um, we'll need to have signs along there to say don't go past us or whatever, but I imagine there's going to be some folks with their golf carts and that'd be a good spot to to do
those. Um, then up the top top of the page, um, I know we had vendors all parking in that area up there, but we do have vendor parking down towards the middle of the page, too, in that uh little lot there before you turn on a treadway. Uh, I know we talked about
that, but we didn't really talk about more than about the 20 25 spaces we'd get there. So, I'm assuming we'd park them in the back where I have that. Um, so that's kind of our vendor parking areas. Uh, and then obviously we'll have parking there um, right under that. And then as you come in and park to the uh
to the left there. Um, I know they were grading that out down in that triangle area as much as they could. So, we should be able to park several cars in there on up and I guess handicap parking up towards the pavilion there. Um, I did talk to Bobby Krueger. Um, he's good
with parking at your own risk in that lot. Um, after they they cut the grass in there, it did look like it you could probably park in there, at least trucks and stuff like that. >> Um, you just need to be careful obviously. So, I don't know if we want
to get a couple signs to go around the perimeter that says park at your own risk. Um, >> did we not say I'm sorry for interrupting that we were going to put vendors here along this way or we're not going to do that now so they can park? >> Yeah, if you want vendor parking along Pas Way, that's fine, too. And I can I can put uh put that there.
>> Yeah. I don't because I don't know if we want to put them here because maybe we can put all the vendors out and then leave this for for >> that. Be okay. I'm just not sure how many >> Where did you say? >> Right here that pass away. >> Oh, yeah. >> We go here and then we go here. >> I think
>> so. I can I can draw a small box along the side of the road there and put vendor parking in there. Um I don't know if Pasco Way and that little small spot would be enough for all the vendors because they got to unhook their food trucks and all that. >> Use that just in case. >> Yeah. So I would probably leave that
>> back part still for them >> because they'll be here first. Um >> S are they launching from Miller Bayou or are they launching from the land again? >> They're they're launching on land >> on the back side of the pond. Should we maybe not put the golf carts there just
because of the last time with the debris from the fireworks? >> Take little souvenirs home. >> Yeah, that's Yeah, that's the whole thing is that that's going to be >> Well, we allow people there, right? >> No. Anything the the basically the uh the trail is the border to allow no one
no one pass that point. >> Oh, no. So, we don't really want anyone hanging out before the, you know, after the trail >> just within the blast radius of just any type of cardboard debris or anything like that. And all depending on the wind, they're going to be aiming towards
the bayou, >> but of course, we won't know what the wind's going to be like till the day of. >> So, >> so you're thinking where the where the golf cart parking is, there's nothing in that area right there. >> Yeah. Well, I mean, if we want to put carts there, that's going to be up to the owners, but like I said, but the I
don't want anyone standing or being there or in their carts when the fireworks are going off. >> Okay. Well, >> fire department won't recommend that at all. I would consider moving the golf cart parking somewhere else. Um, >> where the the inflatables were for the seafood festival.
>> Where is that here? >> That little space here >> back there to the left of where it says vendor parking. Free parking. Yeah. Yeah. Because if we park in there, then we have to monitor that they're not in their golf cart at the time of the fireworks. We have to be >> and this going to be blocked off, I
guess, right? >> Yep. Okay. >> Well, that would be a easy uh in and out there uh where the inflatables were. They could come in right >> right there at behind the playground area.
>> Um >> golf carts in there as opposed to cars. >> Yeah, I'll change that up. pull this off and then I'll put uh there where the flats were. I'll modify that sign there that we say nobody beyond this point. I can get I can do some
>> so that we know or are we going to rope it off or have something there that people know not to >> do some maybe not signs but >> the path you mean >> this right like right here if nobody should be going beyond the trail we
should have something so that >> what have we done in the past for that do we do anything >> just for what >> for that passive trail area right there I mean it's not >> we block all that off we'll have that Yeah, we'll rope it all off. So, >> okay. So, we rope it off. Perfect. >> It'll be completely roped off. We did
the same thing for the Centennial. So, no one will be allowed on any part of the trail whatsoever. Okay. We basically using the trail as our as our border and then we'll have we'll have yellow tape and whatnot marking that. Okay. So, that's covered. >> Okay. Um, so if we can get some
let's say little signs a piece 15 something 16 I think 1650 I think. >> Uh maybe get you think six park at your own risk would be enough. >> Okay. And then do I need to make sure it
says property owner in the city are not responsible for >> Yeah. Some disclaimer whatever not responsible for >> Yeah. damages damages or injuries or anything. >> So if they want they can park in here, but we're not going to have anybody
there directing them to go in. >> Yeah. Like I said, I wouldn't >> you literally park at your own risk. We'll just have vendors that we can tell you to park here. >> So basically it serves two purposes. You don't really want them park in there, >> right? >> But if they do, they I mean >> their problem be hard to keep them out of there. And I my what I told Bobby was
is people are probably going to try parking there anyway. So you know and you'd mentioned Troy about send some folks out there to kind of pick up any debris. >> Yeah. Yeah, that's a good And uh with Pastor Lord and and Nick being here today.
>> So uh Tuesday or I'm sorry, Thursday. Thursday uh Pastor Jerry's men's maintenance is going to be out in the park at 6:30 cleaning up. >> Are would you like them to walk that? >> Yeah, they if they would just walk that
and just kind of pick up anything that might be an issue, >> right? >> I mean, I can find out if they want to kind of really more focus on that lot than the park because I've had public works in and out of that park, you know, this whole time, this whole week that they're going to be focusing on the
park. So we can even just see if the volunteers want to concentrate in that lot >> and if they could concentrate on that little section down at the end of the waterfront at Grandon Old Post cuz they did cut the trees and stuff and I know that they can't really go on private property. But there's there's quite a
bit of debris down there when I was there today. So if they could maybe concentrate on that too and clean that up. >> Okay. Uh oh. In that in that >> in that little >> bender parking. >> Yes. >> Okay. Was there some stuff in there? >> There was some stuff in there. There was
some rocks and things. When I pulled in there, I was like, "Oh, I'm glad I didn't hit that." >> So, you're talking at the end of Grand There where we're going to be doing the vendor parking. Okay. >> There. And then across the street. >> Okay.
>> Sorry. >> Yeah, sure. >> 8114 Leo Kid Avenue. I know if I don't know if you've talked to Danny, but he met with four of the park workers and supposedly they have told him what they want Thursday night and I just didn't
want confusion that they get out and we're doing something that takes time that they didn't ask to do. So that might be checking with them because he did meet with them. I don't know if you know it and they rehearsed to him what to do this coming Thursday night. He announced he'd have all the tools and we
should be there to do it. So, I just didn't want any confusion in getting them pulled away from what they were told to do. And I'm not saying that's happening. I just say I double check that to make sure we didn't fall anything through the cracks. Okay. >> Yeah. Thanks. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> City workers. He they talked to city
workers. You mean >> four of them. He met with four city workers and they said what they wanted us to do and that's what the team set up to do. So, I'm just saying if it gets changed in this committee and then we get out there, there might be confusion. So you can just check with them and and
see and be willing to do what y'all got, but they seem to have it planned. >> Whatever they worked out, obviously take care of that. I'm just saying as part of that, if they wanted to as well walk that that area, park your own risk just to do that in addition to But >> Right. Right. >> They have everything they they need, they can focus on that. But >> yeah, that's what I'm saying. I mean
like >> Okay. I'm I'm just saying I wouldn't want to get them, you know, doing something and then didn't get what the you know, the workers out there wanted. But thank you. That's the only reason I add it. It won't confuse you. Thank you. Okay. >> And obviously,
>> did you have something, Christine? Christina, >> I do. When you were done with that discussion, I was wondering, did anybody reach out to Pasco County to help with transportation or shuttles to and from Walmart? You talked about that last meeting. >> Uh we we got um we got quotes from
shuttle companies or whatever and last meeting we decided not to pursue any of those. Um I and to be honest with you, I don't know if we're going to have we do have golf carts to go back and forth with uh Rod Fresnel, but I'm not sure with the parking we've got we're going to need Walmart's parking. Um
>> Okay. >> Especially since >> Yeah. So, no, we we didn't uh we didn't pursue that just because um we didn't envision we're probably going to need um and definitely not pay for it, but uh I don't think we're going to need that. >> Okay. Because um I spoke with or I
messaged with C Katherine P Catherine Pearson with this Pasco County and she had mentioned if it's and I sent this email quote to S as well just so everyone can have it. If this is for the 250th celebration, they have Sean McGarvey and Elaine Smith working with
the cities coordinating their specific celebrations. So, the counties are the Pasco County is helping with transportation for the big event. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, we actually I think we're going to be good, like I said, because we've got plenty of space around
the uh event. >> Okay. >> Um and like I said, I didn't anticipate too many people wanting to park all the way over Walmart, even if there was a shuttle. um they're going to try to get closer to the event and so we I think we've got plenty of parking around there that we won't need that. >> Okay. Well, just to keep this in mind
maybe for future events or different festivities. >> Absolutely. >> That they do have the paratransit and public transportation and the small the larger and the smaller buses. >> Okay, cool. Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Okay. Um yes, so I go back to the sign.
So there's there's a couple makeshift entrances I guess now that they've been kind of tore up. You got Argon, Sophia, Kotties, those three there. So if we if we was to put >> a sign along there, it's three. >> Um a sign at the trail in court entrance
on the side. >> Um and then maybe >> you think anybody will pull in off a 19 off the Pasco way side? You can um get in off 19 sort of um
>> they would have to go through the >> Do they have like ramps? >> I don't remember. >> No, there's there's a little >> pulling there's little DT cuts there. >> So maybe Yeah. Just >> Do you want the LED truck out there kind of where that entrance is on 19 so people don't enter on 19?
>> Uh we possibly look at that. Um parking at one of those. >> You want people entering? >> Yeah. No, we well we we're going to let them park there if they try, but obviously if we put that LED truck there in the middle where we normally put that, we can advertise and it blocks that entrance, too. >> Exactly.
>> Yeah. So, yeah, we we can do that. You guys go to that. Use an LED truck to advertise. >> Um, so I guess I think six signs would be enough >> for that. Just got put around the perimeter. Um
and then we have the city own lot as well as Whiskey Joe's lot there kind of center left of the page where it says free parking on it. Outpost have all that. Um Catches is going to open up their paid parking down there. Um if people park down there, they're going to charge something for it. Um he's dealing
with all that, but it'll be open as a as an alternative as well. Um, I'll check double check on the on the casino property there for that lot and probably next to the pirate bar there, that little lot there. I'll mark that as well. Treadway because Burke and uh Krueger's own that property as well. I
think that's fairly clear. Um, so I'll put a little red X red box around that as well. >> Is this something that we are going to be distributing to the public once >> um once it's done? Yeah, I think we could probably put it on the website. >> Okay. Um, >> I almost wonder about the shuttle
parking if we shouldn't just >> just not do it. >> Just take it off. >> I mean, because worst case scenario, we could send people down to Brasher and they can park down along Brasher Road and walk. I mean, that's worst case like how we had the parade line up. We could just have people start parking on the
Brasher Road >> because if you say shuttle parking, then they're going to expect a shuttle. >> So there we don't expect anything. If for some reason in for Asher Park we need that we can send the golf carts but people are not assuming that they're
going to get a ride. >> Right. >> So I don't >> Yeah. So I think we we can the shuttle parking. I think especially if Parker's own risk is available now. I don't think there is. >> So I I'll pull that off and that way I'll tell Rod to >> not to worry about it.
Um okay. So any other things on the parking? I'll I'll verify those those couple other lots. Um I'll take the golf cart parking off and move it back to the >> where the flames were. Then we should be good. >> It's safe to say that then nobody will be parking past a certain area in the
event like towards the event. So we don't have to worry about vehicles or anything >> because then none of the vendors should have their vehicles there. All vendors should have >> unhook and and couple things. Uh Mr. chair. >> Um about how many volunteers
um do you think we would we would need um for both being at the specific free parking areas first? I guess that would be the first question. >> If I may interject on that as well. >> Sure.
>> Um let's also find out the committee members who's going to be there and then what specific assignment each committee member can do. Um, and then we can see how many volunteers we need and where they're going to be positioned at. >> That's that's really good. U I know you
had asked that uh last meeting. Uh I I can speak for myself. Um I will be there. I can help any way I can. Um but I will have my children with me. So probably me being in one of the parking lots isn't going to be a good fit
>> for me. But um I uh Pastor Jerry has said that he could probably get a couple of people. Um he's wanting to know how many people we would need and he's also wanting some type of training uh so we
know what's required of us. My thought is while Pastor Jerry is at the uh cleanup Thursday night, I know two people I'm looking at right now that are really good at park parking. Uh
Kimberly, right, and Caroline. >> You know, >> I'm available. >> Yeah, if that's something where uh you guys might be able to come out to the park uh Thursday night. I I know they'll be out there 6:30
>> and you could give Pastor Jerry some type of direction on uh what we're needing of the team. >> Perfect. >> Is that Will that work? >> That would work. That works for me. >> Yeah. I' I'd like to add that um any any
committee members like you know especially you know anyone who's going to be constantly moving around the entire time. It's going to be a very long and hot day. So I think that you should have one or two designated relief people whoever it may be but that needs
to be in place. Um I I you know the last time there was you know there was a handful of handful of the committee members on their feet the entire day entire night and um that's just not fair to you guys. So definitely try and coordinate with you know with the
volunteers and church. I know I know public works will have some some members out there. So don't be afraid to utilize anyone to help you know any of the committee members because I you know you guys should enjoy the event as much as what you guys you know you know helping
out. So just think about that. As far as parking attent probably only need uh a couple spots. One right inside the park because that's that's uh some logistics to that obviously. Maybe maybe
one for the the back side or the the north side, one for the south side. Um and then somebody down in the little vendor parking area or whatever. But as far as like by Cancun Beach um and the the corner lot there, I mean really
don't necessarily need attendance there. >> People can park themselves. >> Yeah, definitely inside the park. It was like a two to three person drive. >> Yeah, it's a three people at the gate and then somebody has to direct. Yeah. >> Yeah. Cuz you have one at the gate and
then you have someone taking one car and then you have another person taking another car >> and then you have someone cuz if you have to tell them stop, don't, yes, no, so at least three in the inside and then the vendor parking have a designated
person. I don't know if I will be able to have my family like my parents and my husband um my husband's on call and my family helping. So I can't say that I'm going to have three helping hands. So literally it's going to be me and Scarlet from the chamber. Um and
obviously you Mr. Me, but you'll be doing other things too. Um so we just we need to have commitment if if you're not able to go >> at least 10 people. >> Yeah, 10 people. If you're not able to go, obviously like we know we have plans and stuff. If you can't go, you don't go
and you can't really um I don't know LA if you're going to be at the restaurant. If you're at the restaurant, then you have, you know, you can direct people there. >> Yeah. Are you going to be working at a restaurant? >> Yeah, at least for some part of the >> Yeah, I think so because you're going to have people coming there to watch and
eat at the same time. >> I think that would be good. Also at the restaurant, if you're there, then we can direct people to Cancun initially from ours to go to Cancun and Park. >> Okay. >> So, at least there you have someone there, whatever it is. So,
so whatever you guys need. >> I know last time us three were parking and and and uh vendors. I know for sure vendors is going to be Scarlet and I um Mr. Mayor also helps and then Amanda
assisting and then parking I guess. Um we need we do need parking. >> Yeah. >> Um >> and everybody should be there at 3:30. We said 3:30 for vendors, right? >> 3:30. So, we should all meet there at 3:30 so that we can start preparing. And
>> the park opens at 6. >> We're letting vendors in at 3:30, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> And then the park opens at 6:00, but people are going to be coming before to park and stuff. Um, so who's so loud is going to be ink code
and Amanda could scarlet. >> Mr. Chair, um, so with the, uh, the golf carts, how many golf carts do we need? And the owner of the golf cart, is he sending volunteers to drive them or do we need? >> Yeah. So, we won't have those now cuz we
do shuttle parking. So, you won't need that. So, we'll just have uh >> help with the getting people parked or whatever. >> So, when they parking at these different spots on the map here, they they have to walk to the >> Yeah. >> Yeah.
>> And they will. I mean, like that far. Christina, are you able to attend >> to help out? >> I'm sorry. What was that? >> Are you gonna Are you going to be in attendance at the event on Sunday >> to help? >> To help? >> Am I going to be in attend?
>> No attendance. Are you coming to help? >> Oh, yes. I'll be there that evening. My kids make their communion, but I'll be there that evening. >> What time can you get there? Um, well, doesn't it start at like 6, but 4 >> gates open at what time? >> Uh, 3:30 is we're going to start letting
people in. >> Let's head up. >> Um, possibly 5:30. Between 3 and 5:30. I don't know how long it's been, but when we get there. >> Okay. >> So, she can relieve someone. Whoever's at the gate, she relieves when she comes out. >> Okay. Anything else on parking?
>> Uh I just have in my notes that you'd like the parking volunteers there at 5. >> Is that correct? >> Yeah, at at 5 would be fine. Um for that. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Because they don't have to be there at 3:30. >> Yeah.
>> Um 5 is good because then they'll be there. >> Yeah. And we'll put the vendors where they need to go. >> Volunteers. Mr. Mayor, >> can I say something? >> Yeah, absolutely. name address correct 6015 Cheers Drive.
Um, is the city going to supply the vest and the flags and the the flashlights and stuff for the parking attendant? >> Yeah. >> That are going to >> Who's going to supply all the >> vest and stuff? Do we >> flag and light
stuff like that? >> That's going to like yellow attendance. Are there volunteer shirts as well? Someone was asking. >> No, we don't have any volunteer shirts. >> We can >> Okay, thank you. >> We can we can get that. I don't I don't
see any issue. >> Arrested would be good. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, we'll have that. So, I'll make a note of that. >> Yeah, that people at least they they know that that's an important person >> or an unfortunate person. One of the two. >> I'm the best.
>> Yeah. Um Okay. So 3:30 to be there and then for the committee members and then 5:00 pm for volunteers for parking. >> Flash. >> Yeah, flashlights too. I don't >> Yeah, very good. >> You probably need flashlights cuz we're
not going to have attendants working as people are leaving. >> Just when it be daylight when you're So you need flashlights cuz >> after they're parked. >> Yeah. >> They get out on their own. the police will be there with lights flashed and all that to take care of >> when the I'm assuming when the the parking is full then we just go we're
not going to be babysitting it either >> like if there's one they can go around and look for parking we just initially when the crowd comes >> yeah just get people parked and then then we're pretty much done >> I'll see about the committee members having flashlights though because I know you guys are going to be there till late
so just in case >> especially like waving the the the vendors out and things like that So it wouldn't hurt to have those little >> orange cone on the end of them or something. >> That is one thing that I do want to see. How would we >> towards the end of the night? We're not
having any vendors leave until >> attendees leave. >> Now they'll be packing up after the fireworks, >> right? And then we're going to have them coming in, but we have to let everybody out of the park so they can come in with their vehicles, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. So >> PD should be helping with that.
>> Okay. Okay. So PD will be there not letting people in everybody out and then at a certain time they'll open up and >> Okay. >> Okay. Anything else on parking? >> I don't not that I can think. I think we're pretty good. >> Okay. I'll revise the map and I include
>> the lighting or did you already address lighting? Is that a different topic? >> We've already got that taken care of. They're going to be lights. We got We got two uh um >> apparatuses. I don't know what you call them, but we got two of them that we're going to put up. >> Did we get those from the sheriff's
office or how did we get those? >> Yeah, the chief got them through I think the sheriff's office. >> Perfect. Thank you. >> I sent that email. Thank you. >> Okay. All right. Um and I'll add that little also, wait a second, but that little part by um Quist and that that we
have we can use. I should be able to put this map portrait and I take Walmart off there and I'll fix that. Um, >> lighting. We did that. >> Lighting. We talked about dog park area. We've got that covered. >> Park preparations for public works and
utilities. I think we're we're good there. They're got their marching orders today, I think, from Cam. At least that's the word on the street. >> Why are you looking at me like that? >> I was over there today. It looks good. >> Yeah. Okay.
>> They actually were they cleared out. We probably can fit another 10 cars in there where they and and it's leveled. I mean, like they they really did a good job. >> Yeah. I notic when I started the water was coming in there cuz it was I think it built a little burm or whatever. So, >> yeah. So, as long as we don't have any torrential downpours or high tide, we're
good. >> I know. I shouldn't have said it out loud. >> And they they did another treating, I guess, for fire ants, right? >> Yes. >> Good. >> Yeah. And they got the trees trimmed that I had in my pictures. Um yeah, they they got quite a bit done. >> All right.
And then, oh, and then, uh, I talked to Daryl today and he is getting a lighted, um, display board that that can be changed on the fly for us to give people directions to. So, he also did mention that today as well. >> So, we're going to have that? >> Yes. >> Okay, good.
>> That's nice. Where are we going to have that at? >> I don't know. >> Okay. >> He said he ordered it, so I don't know where it's going. >> Okay. >> Um, that's great. >> Anything you need to say, S? No, I just make sure they comb the grass, too. You know,
>> make sure it's to the grass. >> As the comment was made, >> we're going to part it all to the right so it's all even. >> The comment I was told today was >> a vacuum, too. Vacuum >> when I get the B when we get the banner up outside, make sure you drive by and tell us what we did wrong. That's what I was told today.
>> Oh, really? >> I was like, you guys need to be seen. >> It's fine. I'm sure it'll be fine. >> Uh the sponsorship banner for the coast. We got that. >> We will. Okay. Have it by. Okay. >> Yes. >> And I'm going to put them um right there
by the pavilion. They're going to I think they're have two vehicles as well. >> We were waiting to see if anyone else was going to sponsor at the last second. >> That's why I was kind of holding out on >> Okay. Yeah. And I I reached out to to Marty because I know he sent it to corporate for Whiskey Joe's. I'll check
back with him. Um I'll see text tonight, but I didn't look like they're they're going to do anything for this. Okay. Anything else on park preparations? The I guess are they putting shell down or something on the >> That happens this week. >> Uh that's going to be happening this
week. Uh fire department is also going to >> water down >> basically water it down. Um they're going to touch up the shell to make sure that there's no, you know, no major divots. So all that's going to happen. The park will be closed on, you know, from Friday through Sunday afternoon
like as right before the time that we let everyone in. So, the park will be closed Friday, Saturday, and then part of Sunday. >> Okay. >> And then, um, you know, public works and everyone will be coordinating at the last minute. I had a meeting with department heads today. I'm also having a follow-up meeting with them on Friday,
uh, to see if we can, you know, uh, looking for their action reports and anything like that um, before the event. And hopefully, we'll have all the all the weather reports that we need on Friday so we can predict like what the weekend's going to be like. So, what is
the weather for that day? >> It it was supposed to rain during the day. It's not going to rain anymore. And it's going to be 95° 25% precipitation. And at night, it's 78° with 25% pre precipitation. Say
participation must be. >> So, real shade, well, it's 95 degrees, real feel 110, and real feel shade is 101. We probably should have gotten the tent, but it's too late. >> No, but I mean it's going to be when everybody's coming in is at 6 p.m.
>> Yeah. And so if anything, we can hide in the pavilion if we have to. Meanwhile, >> well, we'll have the table. >> Yeah, we'll have our Oh, yeah. We'll have our 10 >> for the day. >> Oh, do we need the table the table and the city tables, too? >> Um
I think yes. Are we Do we need the city t or the chamber one? I don't know. I do chamber one. >> Yeah. >> I don't know. >> Do we have the layout? Not yet. We're doing that separate. Yes.
>> Go over layout now. >> Do we need >> Oh, we have the layout here. I don't know what I'm think about. >> And then I I do have a question about the sticks. So, just remind me. I put sticks here. >> Okay. And Mr. Hit before we we move on
on the parking >> at the park at your own risk. Just I just want to make make sure since that is private property um we have approval >> to to for Thursday night to go on that property. >> Yeah. I told them that you Yeah.
>> Just want to make sure. >> Yeah. Tell them that we're going to have people walk it and then um we put some signs up. So um I did not hear back from Ryan on that. Um Bobby said he's okay with it as long as Ryan is. Um so but I'm I'm sure I'll hear but he was good
with it. So um okay. So moving on to the the layout. Um so I also got a print out in front of here. Um obviously kept the the main lawn open and we we did a tunnel of vendors um going down and then you get
the food trucks in the back. So if if you go down the bottom you'll see the the food trucks. Now, these I actually took the actual sizes that um were listed in the in the signup, and they're they're pretty much from the largest food truck, which is the barbecue place,
and he's got smokers and stuff, so he'll be all the way to the end, which be perfect. Uh and then they kind of go along the the back side of the south side. >> There's there's at least 10t of space in between them to satisfy the fire code. You'll see that across from the the 43
44 45 you've got 34 35 36. Those are food tents. Um and they're 10 foot uh across as well or 10 foot dividing them too. Um we had an issue with that at the seafood festival. So make sure that they had at least 10 foot in between them. And then the other vendors um along both
sides on the right hand side you'll see four boxes that are not marked. Those are the uh portaotties. Um in between 20 and 21 I left a 10-ft gap that be about a probably probably 12 to 14 foot gap.
Um but anyway that's people can go through there to the portaotties and back into the lawn so they don't have to otherwise these tents are going to be pretty close together. So that'll be the opening. Um or they can run around the back down the um down the uh driveway or
down close to the the pavilion and go up that way. So, this will pretty much be tightly packed all along here. Um, other than those openings. >> Um, I want to >> Can you send copies of this of these both of these digitally to me? Yeah. >> Because I want to talk to the fire
department. Um, the only thing I see is man, we may have to shift 38 down, you know, south a little bit towards the ports and shift everyone just a little bit. kind of like lining up number 45 with number 37 because I know the fire
department's gonna probably want their command center up on the top of the hill there. >> They normally do this hollow here. >> Yeah. >> They don't know we have something here, do they? >> And I just want to double check with them. I think >> the only thing that I had a problem with I wasn't sure what that was. >> Do you know what that is?
>> I wasn't sure. >> That's a table. >> What? What? 39 and 40. >> Between 39 and 40. That's a picnic table. >> That's a picnic table. They can be moved. >> No, no, that those are concrete in it. I was saying just >> Okay. So, so that's why kind I thought that was something I couldn't. >> Okay. >> But wait, we can I can shift 38 close to
that tree >> and then 39 and possibly get 40 >> above like 39. And if we can shift down just a but just to keep that open the fire department to be sure. Okay. >> And see if that that should be enough room for them. But I just want to make sure on that. >> So,
>> yeah. I did want to make mention if because these four we said were for sponsors. >> Yes. So at the top those four for we only have one sponsor. So I'm going to put them right where it says car. So I'll have uh two cars there and and a
tent for them in that area. >> So I was thinking instead of having these here, can we just mix them like like the nature coast and stuff? We're going to be here so that we can be with all the vendors like if we have the if we do decide to have the city tent so we can be here cuz this is like we're
isolating ourselves from here. >> Yeah. Well, I could I could put the >> That's nice though because when we're walking in they walk right past us. >> I was also thinking though and this is another thing that I had just assumed that we were going to have vendors tent starting from here >> from the curb. That's what I find when
they're coming in because like the I have light in uh this light up toys and novelties also bubbles in other America 250 light up and novelty items like that's something that people would want to buy when they're coming in. Um I thought also like the kettle corn lady
to put her there. um like when people are coming in. >> Yeah, I guess some >> vendors. >> The the problem you have with this is you get little clusters of vendors um as you come through here and obviously we we utilize this for parking. So, you
know, >> maybe just one side. >> Yeah. Could we do like a couple here? Yeah. Like have them like when people are walking. >> Why don't they not open too for the police or whatever if they going to do anything? >> Oh, >> down here. Can we have them on this side like this?
>> Well, and so and so the thought is and I can put them where you want them, but here's here's my rationale. They're all together. So when you when you basically hit one and two, you got a line of vendors, everybody gets foot traffic going down through there. >> If you if you spread them around the the
curve or whatever after they come in, they're done. >> Nobody's going to want. So if you if you got people selling lights, whatever, you put them in one, two, three, or four range, they're right there. They're right by the thing. And that people are going to be constantly because in order to get to the food food they're going to
have to either come in the middle and go down through here or come in the back or here. So they're you're constantly going to have foot flow. >> So they >> over here once they're in the park, >> okay, >> nobody's going to visit. >> And then so that I know how we put them
21. Say 21 through 37. Which way are they facing? Do they face? Everybody's going to face in towards the road. >> Okay. So, everybody faces this way. >> Yeah. So, they're going to be facing >> So, their backs are to Okay. So, they're >> backs are going to be to the >> Yeah.
>> So, everyone face road. >> Okay. And then anybody even like a tent or anything if they have a generator. I don't remember if I think one of the tents has a generator or something. I know it's the hot dog guy. >> Well, they're all in the end. >> Excuse me. Yeah. Okay. Those will be at the end. any any food that has generated
or whatever. They're going to be in these four spots there. >> But then the other ones here like the kettle corn lady um like sourdough uh >> oh it has prepackag preackage. We can put them mix other vendors. Right. >> I
>> I pulled all the food. I I would go ahead and put them down here. >> Everybody together because last time we did get for the seafood festival if they were next to a generator it was noisy. It was melting their stuff. So, but I don't think we have that problem this time because we don't have that many.
>> Yeah, >> I'll I'll do it like more. I'll make sure because the generators are going to be mostly here. The ones that are >> Yeah. All the food trucks going to have their generator going. >> We really only have the one that is a food tent
would be the general. Well, the hot dogs, which I don't remember if the hot dogs is it's a >> it's a cart. >> It's a cart. But is it do they have a Barbie? Same guy. Yeah, I think it's a chrome paint. It's um Woo Dogs. >> Yeah, like I said, they got 10 10 foot
of space in between them. So, >> perfect. Okay. >> And like I said, the ones that um like the 32 33, >> you know, they could just they don't need any separation. >> So, everybody faces the road and then we figure it out. Okay, perfect. >> Yeah. So, that's I that's the rationale
behind it. It uh it guarantees people are going to walk past all of them. Well, then so why don't we suggest the ones that are the four here like say this is odd. Why don't we make this handicap parking? >> You can't park there. >> There's not even
parking like this like like this. >> No, I don't. >> No. No. >> Okay. Plus, I don't want We shouldn't have anybody going past where that first tent is. >> I mean, I can put >> I could put coast there and have them >> I think coast over by the pavilion is better.
No, cuz we don't want anybody where that first 10 is. We were going to block that off like the last time so nobody's going to be driving. >> Maybe police should be just here and then we don't start our things until it's back here. Just have everybody for safety back here. >> Yes. >> And then just leave police till they can
have it here so cars can come >> like they do their thing. >> Yeah. >> Well, we're going to So, let's talk about city. >> The golf carts. >> City and Chamber 10. >> Are you guys going to do that? >> The Chamber T. Yes. But the Chamber 10. >> Somebody going to man this whole time. The chamber tent. Yes. >> Okay. I mean,
what about the city tent? Are we going to do a city tent? >> We should do a city tent. >> I mean, because if we >> Who would man the city tent? >> Yeah. I can't man the city tent and the chamber. I definitely do chamber.
I >> mean, do we are we do we need a city chair? I think we should have one at least to be present with the at least with the tablecloth out there. I mean, even if it's >> something, >> but who would it?
>> I know we don't have any. >> I mean, not like we're selling anything or anything. I mean, it's just something else to deal with. >> I mean, >> do you want a city tent in case like in case an emergency or a kid gets lost or
like a main a main tent to go to? I mean police will be stationed in there, fire will be stationed in there. So those will be the the point places for that. >> The chamber the chamber town is needed also for vendors and stuff like they need to know where to go >> for things. So that's why we have to have the chamber one. >> Yeah. I mean that's right at the
beginning. >> I mean the city I don't know if that's something we city can use chambers as well. I mean >> together >> I mean I I don't have a problem having it there but we need somebody to obviously be responsible for it. Put it up. take it down, man it.
>> And like I said, if it's if there's nothing but a tent and a table, you're not going to have anybody stopping anyway. So, >> and we're not giving anything, right? >> Sally, any thoughts on that? >> Well, the only thing I would think about you having a city tent would be like if
you were promoting any other events >> and and looking like to to maybe get members >> um for the events committee or or promoting other events. So besides that, everything else is going to be there. Police is going to have the command center set up. Fire department's going to have their areas set up. So if you
know for for emergency response, those are the only two things I would think about if you guys wanted to have an events committee tent is basically to promote something else coming. Now, if you if we don't have that yet, I don't see any reason to >> because we're not selling tickets yet for the mayor's bowl or anything. We
don't have anything right now. >> Yeah. So, to me, I would say no. I just I would just even if you had something, you could probably just work with the nature's tent, you know, if you guys had a flyer or something. But besides that, there's I I don't see any reason to man
a whole another tent. That's kind of what I was thinking, but like I said, doesn't matter to me. >> Okay. All right. >> Yeah. So you go with the chamber being over here towards the end. You want to put
them down here. >> Yeah. With everyone >> right at the beginning closer. Yeah. >> I'll probably just uh put you right next to two there. >> Yeah. Cuz it's there's two volunteer then to walk over here to be checking on every It's good to be here and check on everyone and everybody can come and
>> Yeah. So we won't have anything over here where those top four are then. >> No, we should have. They can have both just for safety too. Okay, >> we're going to have golf carts coming up here through here, too. >> No, they can't park over there.
>> They're going to go around the back. >> Will we probably bring them down through here and then take a right to get back there? That's right. >> Or would they go in through the >> They're going to go in where they went where cuz we're going to rope off >> how we had the two signs like to go back
in behind the playground. >> What? Are they going to enter here to go? >> No, the other way. So, back here at the entrance, >> they're going to they're here. >> You just got to have an active driveway to get back there. >> Back there where we had the rope off right in front of the playground. They
can go back that way with everybody back that way. Yeah. But would we have >> I'm confused. Would we have would we have more parking if we roped it off here and then they could just come in through here >> cuz for more parking for a car? Because if we Well, no. We can put them on the back side of the playground where the
inflatables were because we can get a bunch of golf carts back there. But they'll have to pick. >> It might be a better route to pick them this way. >> I don't think >> Yeah, >> because you're if you're going to dedicate golf. >> The only issue I have with that is because we had people on golf carts that
had were drinking and there's going to be kids in there and I don't think they should be coming in past that where that first >> because they're going to be playing we're going to have the the >> playground >> playground open. >> Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. >> That's a really good point. Uh cuz I was
thinking the same thing, have them come around this way. But you're right that >> Yeah, we >> I have a question. >> Well, we have a path go through there. We should be good. >> I'm not trying. Um so just thinking about the I forgot about the kids playground there and then having the children play there.
These four tents we have um >> they're placeholders, not necessarily tents. I just >> It sounds like we're taking them off all together now. because then I also thought of um >> cuz there's someone selling like I said
someone selling like little things for the kids like uh toys and stuff light up and then a face painter. I don't know if that would be a good place for or just put everybody in one area. I I >> Well, if you think if if you want to do face painting and stuff there that might
be a good spot, especially since it's right by the playground. Yeah. Yeah, they can play. So I have >> as one of the vendors. >> Yes. I have Yes, I have um face painting, henna, body art, and hair
wraps. >> Jennifer Montgomery. >> Jennifer Montgomery. >> Yes. >> And uh not hooked on the bayou. Holidays on the bayou. >> All right. So, I'll what I'll do is I'll uh >> Can you put Leato at that first tent
just so I'm close to them by with parking? >> She can do that, too. >> Can we do that? >> What? >> Leato. >> Leato sisters. >> Oh, that's for the the nonprofit. >> Yeah, just so I can have a close access to them because they're they're
in that first tent >> on that >> up here. Here. >> No, down on the Yeah, this one over there. How how many spaces do we need here for vendors? You want the face painter? >> So, I I was thinking the face painter. Um, if you guys want to look and you just tell me if you have any suggestions.
>> Um, that's a good spot for the face painter. >> Face painter. The lightup toys and novelties also bubbled out. They're America. >> Yeah. >> Well, I'll just do two spots there. >> Yeah, I think because the other ones are just they're they're not really Yeah, those would be the two main kids stuff,
I would think. So what I'll do is I'll shift I'll shift uh >> the numbers >> just to >> well I'll put one and two there and then I'll start three four down here is what I'll do. >> Well we would have the Leato sisters
with three spots up there same November. So I just take I'll take one and two and place them there. >> Yeah. >> That's awesome. >> Yeah. Well one two three. Oh, is it third? >> Because it's the Leato sister. Well, >> no, she Well, she wants to be in the main aisle. >> No, she wants to be here.
>> So, I'm close to them if I'm part over there. >> Okay. All right. So, I'll do one, two, and three. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Is there Is there a fourth candidate? >> I I didn't I didn't notice one to be fourth candidate. >> Um, what do you
>> So, you've got the toys, you've got the Leo, and then you've got face paint. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. because all the foods and stuff is going to be over there and then um there's really not there's just there's a young
umformational >> type person >> martial arts >> besides them >> uh yesformational if you see marketing information >> chiropractor >> then chiropractic I do have a person collecting shoes. >> The dog groomer. They bring in a dog.
>> Oh, yeah. Somebody is collecting shoes. >> Collecting shoes. >> Put them there. >> There you go. >> Shoe collector. >> That' be a good place for the donations. >> So, so I'll put four spots there. One, two, three, four, and I'll start five and six. Going down the aisle. >> Okay. So, perfect. So,
>> vice chair, if I could, uh, right right below chiropractic there, it says we'll be raising financial support missions >> handing out newsletter and Bibles. >> Yes. Um, he is raising for a trip, a
missionary trip to the Philippines. He has an organization. Um, Alpha, I think it's Alpha Omega. >> Oh, no. That's Tesso Andrinos. I think it's Alpha Omega is the name of
>> That's all right. I was just encouraged to see that. That's all. >> Yes. >> Um, you need your Bible. >> What's that? >> You need a Bible? Is that what you said? >> You wore yours out already? You had to get out? I could always use a bottle now. Um,
>> and so, so understanding the the chamber uh then no no city tent, but the chamber would be up there by like number two. >> Yes. >> Okay. And um >> Well, no, you said you going to be in
five or six that point. >> Well, wherever you want to put me. Well, you want to be at the beginning of the You want to be up here with >> No, no, no. Two. No. Yeah. No, he needs two here. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, one, two, three, and four are now shifted up to the four blank ones, >> right? >> So, these going to start five and six,
and a chamber will be probably six. >> I got you. I got you. >> We'll be in the actually, I take that back. It'll be next to six because these are numbers aren't including chamber 10. So, the chambers above and beyond >> on this side because we're always on this side.
Well, do you want to look at the fireworks or you want to look away from them? >> I could just turn. >> I don't know. Wherever you think you >> I fig put you on the back side here. >> On the back side. >> Yeah, that's better. Okay. >> So, so you can see the event. >> Yeah, you have it. I was like, I'm only on the left side. I am the left side. >> I'm trying to change stuff, Caroline.
Put you in a good spot. movie >> there. There's a reason why I asked this because I I know that the vice chair had uh mentioned, you know, that uh you know that we could have a tent as
>> like a volunteer tent. >> A volunteer tent. Correct. Yeah. >> You know, um and not that we uh >> Do you want one? >> I'll put you right >> next to the chamber right here on this above where two is. Well, basically where two and four is, that's where the chamber and and you all would be.
>> Okay. So, okay. Um, >> you're okay with that? >> That's the volunteer tent. >> Yeah, it would be a volunteer tent where we could have a cool little water and a place for all the volunteers to hang out. >> Yeah. Okay. >> I'll put you there. >> Fireworks together. >> Yeah.
>> Okay. So that would be right up right up >> right you'd be right right where four is two two or four one two >> okay got >> you want you want chamber want to be on the the very end or you want to have the volunteers on the end then chamber does it matter
>> I don't think it matters wherever you think >> I don't think so matters >> okay >> in a good place that's all >> yeah put you back in a little circle >> that bottom left >> well I Have a good view. >> Exactly. The whole whole circle.
>> We can hang out together. >> There you go. Yeah. No, that would work good cuz it it'll be together. So, >> actually, we put you down in this little pier down here in the water. >> Just put me away. Why don't you just put me on the other end of the bayou? >> We put you right there in the bayou. >> Where's Caroline? She's in the bayou.
Right there. That's so mean. Wow. Tell me how you really feel. >> Put Let me put a little floating floating dock out there for you. >> Amanda, help me. I I know she she would be with you. So, >> she's going to be >> both of us in a boat.
>> Okay. So, anything else on the layout? Obviously, golf cart parking is off. This will be restricted area. >> Uh while we're getting signs, you want to get a couple restricted area signs? >> Sure. >> We just Let's get three restricted area signs.
This is a very silly question, but we are getting silly questions on Facebook and stuff. Is it pet friendly? >> Yeah, we've always allowed pets to park. >> We do. >> Um, yeah, I think we >> I never seen them because of fireworks.
>> I wouldn't want to bring Yeah, I wouldn't want to either, but I know people will bring them and they'll ask >> for fireworks. Most dogs and I don't want to advertise, oh, pet friendly because that's cruel. >> Yeah. Okay. But it is if someone does ask then we it's regular park but
>> beware of fireworks. Okay. >> All right. >> Cuz we have been getting strange questions. >> Yeah. >> Lots of strange question. >> That's a strange question. Yeah. >> Yeah. But we've been getting is Independence Day on June 28th. >> But people like to take their pets. I see them in Lowe's at Home Depot. Matter of fact, I stepped in some excrement one
time. I was not happy. Why people have to take their pets to the grocery store? Just need a pu sign. >> Yeah, that's exactly right. >> Okay. Anything else on >> layout? I got it. >> Um, no.
>> Anything else on boom on the body? I think we're ready. >> Uh, the sticks. When are we going to go put the sticks? >> So, I will So, I'll finalize layout and I'll I'll go out and with my measuring thing and we'll stake the >> Do you need the wheel? Do you need a wheel? Oh, you got one.
>> So, are we doing that Saturday? Yeah, >> you'll just say it. >> Um, I might do it Friday. I don't know. We'll see. >> Tell me and I'll go. >> Mayor, I have a question and I'll make you go if it's okay. I understand we're going to be furnishing some table and
chairs and I believe Troy, you mentioned trying to load them in my truck and get them over right after church while the help was there. My question, if the park's closed, is it going to open up at 3:30? So, are we going to have to load them and wait and take them later? We
get them over there. >> Okay. If you'd coordinate that, Troy, cuz I'll be ready. I'll bring my trailer and truck to church and so then right after church, if we could load them, we could go and then I could, you know, go ahead if that's okay. So, if you work that out,
>> you all just coordinate with the police have a key so they can get you in there. >> Yeah. Okay. All right. That's all I needed to know that I didn't want to get people to load them up and go over and it be locked up. So, >> and this will be on Sunday. What's that? >> This will be on Sunday. >> Yes, it will. Right after our >> in the park and everything like that.
So, preparing. >> Yeah. Yeah. What we're going to do, we're going to have our morning service and while we got volunteers there, then we can throw the chairs and tables in and get them over and have that done. Okay. >> I'll make them away regardless. >> Okay. All right. Thanks, S. Thank >> Yeah. Now, you got to pick them up the
night or the next day, I guess. I >> I believe we're talking about getting them afterwards. What what I'm doing is making my truck and trailer available. So, whatever whatever y'all decide, we'll we'll work out. Uh, Troy. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Well, what would you guys prefer as far
as uh >> I mean, it'll be okay because the door the the uh the park will be locked. Yeah, we can we can even break them down and set them up against the building >> and then pick them up the next >> day if we had >> because probably time everybody got out
of there it'd be pretty late to load them and get them back then. So >> traffic so it' be better. >> Right. Right. So probably just be too late to try to wait when things did. So it' probably be better get them there for them then they can put them where they want out of the way and we can go back and get them. Is that all right? >> Yep.
>> Okay. So, I'll just be available to do it then. Thank you. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> It's good to good to hear city working together and be able to help. Okay. Thanks. Thanks. >> Uh what what time is the uh park uh do they open the park then in the morning
that following morning? >> Um if it's a it's a if it's a regular day, PD usually opens up like around 6. Um if you guys if you want to coordinate and figure out what time you're going to be there the next day. Um, I can maybe have it open a little later, but
there'll be people already wanting to come come into the park. So, I I wouldn't I wouldn't go too late in the morning cuz people already want the park open. >> So, we're open say we're open at 3:30 for vendors and stuff. So, >> he's talking about pickup talking about Oh, pick up next day. Oh, gotcha. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Because we wouldn't want to leave them there too long while the park is open on Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, >> um I guess that would be >> a question for Pastor Leonard because it's his truck and trailer. Um but yeah, we'll we'll work that
>> out for him and let me know. >> Y thing on the vendors is I've got 45 spots on here. >> Correct. >> Um and I see that we have 45 signed up. So, is there any intent on any more?
>> No, there shouldn't be any more. And I'm finalizing today. Tonight I'm going to send an email. Um I need them to confirm that all of them are going to be there. I do have backups for some things that there's if there's an opening then they'll do it. But other than that, this
is what we got. >> That's a good list though. >> It is a very good list actually. It's it's it had this was one of the easiest. Yes. And it was one of the easiest of pre-approving vendors was very nice. Good. So, I think this is something that
we can move forward with. >> Okay. Anything else on we want to buy you? >> Okay. I think we're ready. Um the what's next here? Uh moving to old business. Any old
business? I did want to make mention that I sent Al sorry I saw Allison Ashley an email today but we can discuss this in the following meeting when all of us are present. I did get a list of minutes we
need and I said I would assist Kim with it. Um, but as a group, I know Christina has some minutes as she takes some stuff. If we can share I'm going to share this list and then if we can put it together and help each other out and then to get up to date with our minutes.
>> Thank you. >> Yeah. So, we need them from September to June. >> So, but we can bring >> I can send you what I have. >> Perfect. Okay. Well, they need to go to >> Well, they go to Ashley, but I'll send the list to Ashley and then just send it to Ashley and then um she'll send it to
us and then we'll we'll put the pieces together. Thank you. >> Sounds good. >> Okay, that's it. That's all. >> Okay. Um I want to talk a little bit about the budget stuff. So, we got an updated sheet in the
in the packet and I had I had a couple questions. Did you put this together, Sam? >> I had the finance department put together. So, I'm going to I'm going to go back to when we closed out the Centennial. Here's the spreadsheet that we had at
that point. We had $7,800. So, just just shy of $8,000 coming out of the Centennial. I believe everything's on here accounted for because this was at the very last meeting that we had. Um, so if we if we if we roll this balance
and in here you'll see that we had city of Fort Richie sponsorship 10 grand. Um, and I had asked this question. I think Matt was still here. Um, because we had 20ome,000 in the budget and what what I
was told was is that was$10,000 uh of city money and then 10,000 of sponsorship money was what was planned. So that was what the 20 was. We had fireworks. They were um let's see they were we had 247 but that included the
Johnny Cash and installation new time capsule. So it's a little bit I'm sorry 22932. We budgeted 247. So let's just say 20,000 fireworks. So we had $10,000 money um
towards that 10,000 of the sponsorship money we raised. still had 7,800 coming out of that centennial. And if we pull up the sheet that's included in the packet, it looks like we started here with the
seafood festival and we had 9,500 in sponsorships, right? Uh and we see this this fiscal year 26 appropriation of 25,000.
Um and there's I guess we budgeted for 10,000 in sponsorships which we almost met that. Um but saying we got 25 coming in for from the city. So I guess my question is we
had 7,800. It it shows that we've got 117 which seems about right. But if you take off the 7,800 that we started with, we're spending 215 on fireworks. That's fireworks,
right? >> Yes. Um, if you take the well, if you take the 25, so >> $3,500 looks like it's getting added in from the city money and the city never
never gives anything for the events other than they pay for the fireworks themselves. So, I guess my my concern was is this is this really right? because there's also a $10,000 occasion for sponsorships which is pretty much covered here. I'd kind of
like to take that roll forward of 78, do a full accounting of the seafood festival. I think we had a couple thousand dollars to the good, which would put us at the nine I was planning on um and see where we're at. So, are you saying are we short or we're you know?
>> Well, I just I want to make sure that and I guess I was looking at 35, but this was this was a 10,000 sponsorship budget. So, that's that was 10,000 more than I was I was adding that in. So, I was thinking is that 10,000 city money coming in to make
that 11? If that in that case, we would be short. But um I didn't have time to do it, but I'm going to go back and and use this cuz all the stuff on this here um includes all the stuff we spent thus far for the we want to buy you, right?
>> If Yeah. And if you can if you can just resend me the the $7,800 uh but you know, spreadsheet that you have and I can take that and and bring it back to that finance department. I know we tried to use as much information as we have, but I'll have them still
cross reference that just to be sure if what if everything that they from previous, you know, to now. So, >> um, but I I believe they did because we we went back and forth on what was already pre-existing. But send that to me again anyway, so I can I can just
make sure that the numbers that they were accounting for were there. I I just >> so just this this basically is in the packet from it's not I don't have the spreadsheet because and they may have it over on Adam's computer or whatever because he he did this um this was just in the PDF from
>> Yeah, I know that that's from that's that's the current one that they generated. >> You go to this July 15th the last centennial celebration. It's that agenda that's where I get it from. >> 7:15 25. >> Mhm. >> So are you thinking we're short? Um,
no. I I I think Matt, I see that that 10,000 of the 35 was budgeted sponsorships. It's probably about right. Um, >> so we have 11,000. >> I just wanted to make sure that >> Okay. It wasn't city money coming in to make
that 11, which what I orig,000 left in that events line item and we we use that line item to pay for the portaotties. We pay for the entertainment. We pay for all the outliers. It's that 9500 um in sponsorships that help put us to
the balance that we're at now. So >> yeah, I think we're that's probably about right. What I'm going to do is I'm going to feed this 78 in put this stuff in here and then see where we're at. and that that 11 there's now the only thing that needs to come off of that right now
is the the porta party bill and the the banner the banners that she just purchased >> and the port is going to be a thousand bucks. >> Yeah, they were like it was like 900. >> Yeah. So, we're probably going to come out of here about 10 if this is numbers right, but I'll uh >> Oh, and Bill Forn is
Bill's not Bill's not on here yet. >> Neither. >> Was that for >> Oh, wait. because he was on here for the centennial, but is he on here for That's 600, right? 700. >> Oh, you got you not got the him on here.
>> Bill's not on there yet. So, no, the bill's not put on there yet. >> Okay. Any >> seven or six? >> Seven. >> It was six, but then we >> let me jot that down. So we've got
700 for Bill >> 950. I'd say 950 for the porta bodies. >> Did you verify that sink was a double? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> It should be. I told them to make sure it was a double. >> Okay. >> And then um
and then whatever the banners. >> Yeah. I don't know what the the two banners. >> Well, maybe a couple hundred dollar in there. Okay. That's that that gives me enough to >> I don't know because the machine was down. Yeah. So he told Daryl to come back tomorrow, right? >> He just told him to take them. >> So I don't know what the total was.
>> I'll find out total tomorrow. >> Okay. So I look I think we're I think we're right now close. Anyway, any other old business? >> Uh no. Can we set a date for our next meeting? >> Yes,
>> please. Um, so also we got the boom on the bayou the 28th and we really need to get rolling on the the mayor's ball. >> Yes. >> Um, do we want to try to do one on the 29th
or do you want to wait a week? >> I think let's wait. >> Let's wait a week. >> Sixth. >> Sixth is fine. >> The sixth is right after the holiday. Is that going to be okay for everybody? >> When's the next council meeting? will meet the first council meeting in July.
>> Uh 13th. >> I'm sorry, the 14th. >> Do the 13th. >> I don't know if I want to wait that long. What's What's >> Oh, we can do this. I'm okay with the six. I said you're out of town. >> So, we've got >> We've got July and August. The mayor's
ball September 11th. Yeah. >> So >> the 6 I guess >> I'd even say we could instead of the 29th we could maybe move it to the Thursday the 2nd if you want to have >> CAC is meeting that day. >> That's right. >> Do the sixth.
>> Do you know what the 29th? >> I can't I know for sure I can't. >> And what's what's the holiday? >> The Friday. Friday the 3. The 29th would be the um that Monday
would be the only um I fly out on the 30th and won't be back until the 15th. >> You can't the 29th. I can't 29th, but it's okay. I'll try, but >> I could do the 29th. >> We can just put it for the 29th.
>> Yeah, let's do 29th. Um, what I want to try to get out of that is is some kind of thing to go out so people maybe we set the ticket prices and >> Yeah. >> and try to get some of that set up so we can possibly that >> end of the first week.
>> Sponsors, too. >> Yeah, we know we start solic um >> we really need to work. It's true. I can't believe we're that close to >> um the main thing is actually getting it. You know, we can get the decorations, all that lined up. We got time obviously, but it's it's we got to
get ticket sales going out. >> Sponsorships and Yeah. >> Are we going to have ticket sales at the boom on the bay for 911? >> No. >> For the mayor's ball? >> No, I wish we could. We're not ready for that. >> Are we advertising or putting up uh yard
signs for the mayor's ball? >> Nothing. That's >> We'll have to let start on that on 29th. >> Okay. they're getting geared up for it. I think we'll be fine. Like I said, I that's two and a half months and like I said, we've we've got the venue. That's always the the main thing is have a
venue. >> Everything else probably fall into place, but it's we need to this first couple weeks of July, we need to get stuff out. >> Yeah. >> Advertising. And I think that and that that pretty much gives a full two months before the event, which should be more than enough.
>> Should we set up like two meetings already? because we should have them already scheduled and we can just boom boom boom. >> That's a good idea. >> Yeah, we can do the 29th and then um
the 6. Troy will be gone, but you'll be back, right? >> Yeah. And I'm going to try. >> Huh? Lori will be on six. >> On the 6 I'm not available, but I I can 29. >> Yeah. Okay. So,
>> can we do the 13th then? >> Well, I think we probably might need to do that. I just >> 29th and the 13th. >> We probably need to meet every week until we >> I think so, too. Because it's >> at least at least till we get it off the ground. >> So, we can do this. So, why don't we just schedule the 6th, the 13th,
20th, and the 27th? >> I mean, the whole month. I mean, we just do that. >> Yeah. I just make a standing Monday meeting. >> Yeah. just and if we need to cancel, we can always cancel, but and we always shift too if we need to. >> Yeah. And I mean, we know if if one of
us can't make it, but there's always you have the videos, we have everything. And >> yeah, and I would say in between now and the 29th, if if I know you guys we talked about before, if you could set up to go visit that place and look at their stuff or whatever.
>> Oh, no. Not the 29th. It's too short. It's already Yeah, it's like this week >> we can but because we need to have a theme too like uh what we want. So I think the six I mean >> the 29th >> 29th come with ideas that we said we were going to do. Come with ideas
between the 29th and the 6th we should be able to meet. >> Okay. >> And then uh with the vending thing, right? We need three quotes. >> Yes. >> Right. Three quotes. >> Three quotes. >> And it is possible. I mean, you guys,
you know, I don't know how much help I'm going to be with with the mayor's ball. Um, you know, but I mean, I'm >> You'd be surprised. You gave the idea of the boo. >> Well, that could that could be. We'll find out. I mean, I >> possibly. I mean, I'm going to be out in the sticks, so I don't know how the
reception will be, but I could surely try to be on, >> you know, on online. I mean, I could if I get the link and and all that from Ashley, I could try to be be on online. >> Okay. >> So, we're setting up an events committee
meeting starting the 29th, >> the 6th >> at 6, the 6th at 6, the 13th at 6, the 20th at 6:00, and the 27th at 6. >> What on Monday? >> Well, why don't you just go ahead and do 29th, 6, and 13? We're going to have to set them all. I mean, and then the 29th.
>> Very ambitious. And actually on the sixth we can push out. We'll know where we're at at that point. >> The six. So well I think we should meet the 29th, the 6th, and the 13th have three meetings. >> Yeah. Right. >> Before that 13th, May 6, we'll see if we need to schedule a couple more out.
>> Yeah, because we need definitely like invites. Uh >> the 29th is a Wednesday. You mean the 27th for a Monday? Oh, >> I'm saying 29th. >> No, it's 29th. >> No, the 29th. June. June. June. June.
>> Oh, I'm sorry. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. I got you. >> We're not in July yet. >> Yeah. >> It's so confusing. Yeah, I know. >> Yeah. So, we'll do the 30 and we'll we'll play by here because like I said, we still have 7-day window to set it. >> So, 29 at 6, the 6 at 6, and the 13th at
6. >> Correct. >> Okay, perfect. I already put it. >> Anything else? I don't think so. >> All right. Somebody take us home. >> Motion to adjourn. Second. >> Motion second. All fif saying
