Other than that, I don't have anything else I can think of. Um, so next up is uh committee business item number one, seafood festival planning discussion. Um, so obviously continue on our seafood planning. Last week we we met and we got
the the fishing tournament uh kind of lined up. I know a matter of fact, I'm gonna let you come up. You want to talk about that, Bob? Right. >> Yeah. A couple things. >> Yeah. So I'm gonna have you up just a minute. Um, so we we got that uh lined out. I know that Kim finished up the flyer and she's gonna pass that out.
Now, if you're wondering, that handsome guy in the right hand, that big old red fish, that would be me. I caught a big one back in the day. Um, so we've got that. Call it they have that and I think that they
um their website's up and running. The co the code goes to it. Um, have we shared this out? >> We haven't yet because I literally before I came here, I just got off the phone with Mary. >> Okay. So, >> so this should be it. >> Yeah. So, if there's any is there any
objections to moving forward with this? I think I've looked it over and everything looks like it's correct. >> There's a typo. >> Huh? >> There's a typo >> where >> announced right here. >> Oh, sure is. >> Yeah. >> Good catch.
Anything else you all see? >> Well, if you want to be consistent, it's an apostrophe after captain's meeting right here since you did it right. >> Oh, yeah. The one. Yeah. Put apostrophe on the one above >> under the TV. >> Yeah. TBD.
>> Anything else? will be for >> they said that they're going to they don't know yet but she said that they're going to announce it to everybody. So that's what they had me change and then they were able to secure the rod and reels the 30 rod and reels. So we added
that. Um and then the back I changed >> um to complete the registration >> um for to go to their website or to email them directly and I took the city's information on that. >> Okay. And then the QR code goes right to the website.
>> All right. So that's ready to go. So >> yeah, I'll just make those >> any objections to move forward this. Good. >> Okay. Like I say, we're ready to go on that. >> And so we get that shared out. >> Yep. >> Um Bob, the floor is yours. Name and address for
the record. >> Bob Hubard, 7515 Grand Boulevard. Uh first of all, citizens, really appreciate you guys doing this. Um, I know it's uh quite a task trying to get everything lined up and trying to get the dates uh to not coincide with other
activities and events around or even piggyback off one. It's a lot of work. I just hope that we if you have a fall festival lined up, I hope we're starting to plan that now. I know we have a bunch of us got together. We had a class
reunion coming up in May. We started planning this last January and we just now got it pretty much lined up because of conflicts and trying to get a hold of everybody. It's just it's a lot of work. So anyway, I hope that uh we get these
things planned way in advance. um when it comes to like the fishing tournaments and the seafood festival. Been to several of those, been involved with several tournaments and we had a television program filmed right out here at Port Richie. Will Burbach and his dad
Ed owned River or Whiskey River for years. And Will Burbach is probably the best fisherman I know. He's probably one of the top 10 in the state. He's he's one of the top tournament fishermanmen. He's won a lot of tournaments. He's in Clearwater. runs close water fishing charters. Now, um we tried having
fishing tournaments here and it's we just don't have the the checklist for a top-notch fishing tournament. We have the area, the fish are here and it's a beautiful area to do it, but we we're working on getting facilitate those kind
of tournaments. Um a fishing story where Ronnie Green was sponsored by Pasco County. Um Edcom, my friend, director of Florida Sports Coast, it was uh nature coach and they they hosted that. They
sponsored that for several years. Um I did a show with him. Uh Sheriff Nakco did a show with him. Uh Mike Wells did a show. A lot of the people around here did did shows with him. Um Kurt Romanowski was the police chief of Pasco County. He's also a tournament feature.
He's also a spokesperson for Ranger Boats. and we tried he tried having a a division tournament here. We just couldn't couldn't make it work. Some of it was the city uh but we just didn't have the boxes checked off to do that. I think it's imperative that we do that
with the area we have here and I know Pasco County would support us on that and I could get a hold of some of these people to have a annual televised uh show or tournament here would mean a lot to the city. Um, of course, a boat
ramp is one of the crucial things, but you need secured parking for the trucks and trailers. He's got expensive rigs, and they want them to be secured under lights. Usually at the hotel where they're staying or nearby, as long as it's secured, um, and docks, which we're working on, hopefully we'll get docked
out. That makes a big difference. Uh they're talking about doing going out maybe at the mouth the river even Miller's Bayou and then sound the horn and they all leave from that area and then they go start fishing and but they have to come back at a certain time they come back to that particular spot
or they going to meet at a dock or I mean they're going to call it in and if they're going to call it in and send in pictures you need to have volunteers on every boat in order to officiate that to make sure that whether they're not sending pictures from a week ago or a month ago or you know So, that's very
important that we do that. Um, but I think that if we had a televised like the Florida Red Fish Tournament, it's televised, we could facilitate that and and we could I could get a hold of Will and some of these people and Kurt and we could have a a top-notch
um fishing tournament here that would be vital, I think, to the city and to the county. And I think they would support us on that any which way we could do that. So, uh that's basically all I had to say. I'm going stay around. if you have any questions. >> Yeah. So, just to that's definitely the
the goal and I think that um obviously as we we kind of kind of hurried and got that together and then moving forward we wanted to create this committee and actually we want to have some events and we started with the holiday. So yeah, we are kind of as we're moving through this year we're kind of behind where we would
like to be. We are towards the end we're you already got the boom on the bayou packet out there. house. We're going to be working on the the ball um and then the holiday. So, I think going forward we're kind of going to be at a better cadence to to have a little more outlook time to to work towards that. Uh but
just trying to get things started. So, we got four events that uh that the city is take part in. This is our first one, the the seafood festival. And so, obviously going forward um uh we wanted to have a fishing tournament again. So, that's when we this was the best time to
kind of put that in with the event. And uh I think going forward is and hopefully it does well um with with with Harper Springs Fishing Club and see how it works out. But build on that and I think you know hopefully by next year maybe we can even look at that. But definitely in the future as these
>> we're we're a ways away from that. Even kayaks kayaks is big believe it or not a lot a lot a lot of them don't look for for kayak fishing but kayak fishing is pretty big. They got a lot of blogs that are uh viewed a lot, >> but they fish out of lodges or ins hotels in different areas and and those
lodges and ends usually host those those people. >> And um if we could get something like that here, too. We that's easy to facilitate. You can do it at Rasher Park. >> They're doing uh kayaks in this one. They talked about that >> small time that that that would be that's something that we could do. I
don't have to have the hot shots from all over the country come in here, but there's enough kayak fisherman around here that we could get in. >> Absolutely. >> For for a tournament, but getting a televised kayak tournament and a televised motorboat tournament would be really big for the city if we could do that. And as far as the vendors you want
to do this next year, all the vendors that you have, if if we could have the date lined up next year and tell them this is the date next year, we're going to do the same things. We're going to be better. We're going we're learning and and get feedback from them and see what they want and uh I could work with some
of the fishermen as far as hopefully we get the docks in. That's a good start. If we get a good boat ramp, I know boat ramp's nice, but if it was located differently, I think that would be even better with secured parking. Uh we could uh maybe bring people in. If we don't have a hotel, we could bring people in
from another hotel. If we could shuttle them in here, that would probably work. >> So, there's a couple ways to do that. But if we get the docks, obviously we're working on that and the boat ramp, you know, I think that would that would be a lot right there to get started. And then if we show them this is this is our
goal. This is what we're going to be doing. Next year will even be better >> and just keep moving forward like that. I think uh fishing tournaments would be a lot >> not just for the city but for the county just like anything else. >> No, it's uh that's what we really hope to the seafood festival take off and that be the big one. Obviously, as that
grows or whatever, we can even look at maybe doing one in the fall or something other places as well, but that's what we've got for now. The and just for next year, so the we have the second Saturday markets and that's kind of how we we plan the seafood festival because the chamber is doing the the vendors, which I think we got
>> 50 >> y >> 50 vendors already for the seafood festival. Um so, we'll really kind of see how well it's attended. Um we got quite a bit of stuff going on. So um hopefully it's a big hit. I think it will be much better than um we we've had
kind of in the past. >> Right. >> And then um but next b March the second Saturday March of next year would be kind of the target date for the the next one. >> Our friend Gene Hammond is a is a a vet and he does a lot um hosts a lot of veteran tournaments and or fishing
>> things. So if we had maybe in like the Fourth of July, you could have actually two fishing tournaments on a weekend. You could have the veterans on one day and then you have the the professionals on another day, too. So there's a lot of potential >> here locally to put on big tournaments
if we work work towards that. >> Oh yeah, absolutely. That's I'm really curious to see how many entrance because we dropped the price down to 50 bucks a person. Um and we just at Centennial we did a a four per boat. I think it was 150 or something. Yeah. So hopefully
we'll that gains going forward what we need to do to to make that better. But yeah, definitely want to grow. >> Well, if you ever get a chance to watch a fishing story with Ronnie Green, you'll see Will Herbach. He facilitate 80% of those those shows on his boat. He took them with all all of his guests
just about every every week out out on his boat. And um the hotels sponsor Becca, they get their name televised obviously. So that would be uh imperative for them to do that in restaurant or restaurant too. You got it could be behind Whiskey Joe's. They may want to host it one year and catches
another year. Um and they would they would sponsor that uh to get their name on television. That's cheap easy market. >> Yeah. Any contacts you make help us build that tour going forward. That'd be awesome.
>> Okay. Anybody got any questions? >> I do. >> Any questions for for >> Okay. And Mayor Hooper. Thank you. Um, okay. So, is it a possibility to add or are you discussing adding a fishing tournament on Fourth of July weekend? >> We have talked about it, but
>> since you threw it out there, >> well, I I can call my friend Jean Hammond and uh I mean, I could put one together. I It's again um where he's going to say, "Well, where are you going to have it?" >> Right. You know, they it's a checklist that they have. It's you know, you got
to have a boat ramp. got the boat ramp, docks, hotel, secured parking, you know, um and then a sponsor usually, but that's not usually too much of a problem. But that's the checklist that they have. Although he would do this um
to work with me. He I worked with him many of times. He's a great guy and he he wants to do whatever he can for the veterans and people love to sponsor the veterans. It's a great thing and he could put something together. Um, you know, maybe uh just Nicks Park and and
Hooters or something like that. >> Well, I would say if you if you talk to your contacts or whatever and >> I wanted to talk to you guys first. >> Yeah. No, so the the the city basically sponsors the the four events. >> We're not limited to four events. That's just kind of the the bite of the element
we're taking on right now. And then but that doesn't mean that other people can't come in and they want to have a fishing tournament or they want to have something else. Uh they need the city support. Um we can talk about that and do that. But uh as far as it being like a Port Richie sanctioned tournament,
>> we we we don't have that now. That's not to say we couldn't add one. the thing we we've got limited staff to be able to facilitate these things and all that and we you know we don't you know right now >> so but if uh if somebody want to do that
you or contacts or even target spring fish if they want to do something in the city obviously city would welcome any kind of city >> I got to work out the logistics with it but I it's 4th of July and veterans kind of go together you know >> yeah for you got if you got the uh
>> the fall also if you have a fall event, whatever you do in the city, you're on the river. I mean, so we do, we can do something on the river, no matter what kind of event we have, >> as an advantage that we have. So, >> yeah, I'm I'm all for it. And piggy backing off of what he was discussing
with the fishing tournaments, um discussing it with the Florida Sports Coast and the tourism department with Pasco County because they have tourism dollars that can also advertise or sponsor back into the community because it's all the beds in the heads and the taxes and everything that that come back into the county.
>> They would sponsor >> they sponsored a television show for several years. >> That's what I'm saying. Let's get them on board. >> Absolutely. And it it was it was great. It was uh it came up if you watch the show is vi natural spaces vibrant places I think it was with the
>> speak of sports coast are they I mean is it too late in the game for them to >> get our flyer and and push that out there do you know >> probably not >> uh I'll see him Wednesday. >> Yeah. You got a flyer? >> I do. >> I got to update it. >> Oh yeah. send Bob a updated one till
he'll have it and ask if they want to >> help push that out there >> for at least the last couple weeks anyway. >> Am I allowed to do that or does Ashley have >> no different be a sample? You're good. >> Gotcha. Okay. >> I'll see uh how they may want to participate. I'll let you know.
>> Yeah. because and we obviously use uh use their help and then we can start to bring more and we like I said we tried to have we were going to have create our own televised
fishing show that Will Burbach and Kurt was going to put together because they done a lot and they live here so it makes sense. >> Yeah. >> And it was we going to put a boat ramp at going to build a boat ramp for them for that over at Waterfront Park. It didn't turn out.
>> They did driving through the district there where the the Nyx is is um a little shaky. I mean, right now it's it's feasible as it builds up. It' be a little shaky. That be nice to move it, >> but then it was it was the docks, you know, it was just hard. >> Yeah. Well, I said hopefully we'll be
able to get some of that infrastructure. >> You got television crews in here, too, and they got to have place to stay. >> Yeah. >> And they need to have places to film this stuff and, you know, there's a lot to it. But it pays off big time though. It really does.
>> Anything we can bring in the city that we can >> Yeah. >> put us on the map for sure is >> that's what it's all about. >> Any questions? If not, I'm gonna go home and watch a movie. >> Yeah. >> Thanks, Bob. Appreciate it. >> You guys
appreciate you guys. >> Thanks. Okay. Anything else on seafood planning session? We have um >> the >> postal rental and the porta body. >> Okay. >> This is the 45.
Okay, let's start with the tent. >> And so I've been thinking about this a little bit and I I just kind of looked at some prices and stuff cuz obviously we're going to we're going to need a tent for this event. We're going to need a tent
for the Fourth of July event um and the holiday on value. So that's three times during the year at least that we're going to need this. And every time if we're shelling out $1,500 in a year's time, um we could have bought one of
these things. Now, obviously there's storage and set up. >> Um I we're going to have sponsorship money left over. Um, I believe that we uh we could probably purchase our own tent
cuz they're around a few thousand. They're not they're not that expensive. >> Who's going to erect it? >> Well, that's we'd have to we'd have to deal with that. But, uh, again, if you're just going to constantly ship $1,500 out the door and not ever own it, um,
it's becomes a waste. I said if we weren't doing anything in the city and it's a one-off once a year, it probably that doesn't make sense. But again, we're going to eat it for three events during the year. >> What if we ask them to quote us something at a better rate than the
$1,700 every time because we are going to be using that >> and maybe they could comp one time and maybe fill us for >> Well, yeah, they made it more poundable. I just >> Yeah. I'm just wondering if there's a way we could I understand what you're saying. I understand what you're saying, but I'm
one of the things I wanted to tell you was like the stuff that I talked to public works about on Friday and they I gave them a laundry list of stuff that we went over and now if they had to erect a tent, that's a whole another thing, >> right? >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. And so that so that was another thought too is as opposed to getting a real large >> 30x 60, you get a couple smaller ones that are easier to erect. >> Yes. >> Um that you know >> Yes. >> normal people could put up cuz all we're really doing >> we did get the smaller ones. I mean that
would be what what is the the bigger what's bigger than the 10 by10s? I mean like 20 >> Yeah. Like those are >> 20 by 30 and it's,499 >> and those are ones that like we could put right. Yeah. or >> yeah, >> volunteers or whatever. I mean, it's
they're not >> the same person that put Christmas lights on. >> Yeah, I don't have a problem putting tent. I do it every month. So, >> I know we can do >> Well, something that's not like that massive tent. I mean, that's one thing. I mean, that that tent is insane,
>> but I mean, it's true. if we can have >> so I mean real in reality instead of renting one we could we could buy a couple of the smaller ones and we'd have them >> and tables and chairs too because we can get them from Home Depot. I mean the
tables are we could probably get eight tables for >> I know the church probably would will let us use tables too wouldn't they for that relatively easy you guys got I mean so I think we could we could uh be better off just to go
ahead and purchase something and then we would have it and we would have the cost every time again there is like I said there is a little bit of work to put them up whatever but if we except if we didn't focus on a big large thing. And even to be honest with you, if you own the big large one, you could
probably pay a smaller fee for them to come out and set it up and take it down. I mean, >> is there companies or something that actually like puts up and puts it down? >> They I mean, they would probably come out. I don't know if they you got to do their stuff or if I mean, I'm sure people would do it.
>> I think if you purchase Do you have an rough estimate of how much it would be to purchase one? >> Well, it depends on what you do. I mean, >> you can spend anywhere from, you know, $3,000 to over 30 depending on how big and what kind of material it is. And >> look at Amazon, they have them.
>> And I wouldn't I wouldn't advocate to get just some cheap thing, right? I mean, you can buy a cheap 10 x10 tent for 50 bucks and you use it once or twice and it's trash. So, if we're going to invest in one, we definitely want, >> you know, to get a good one >> or a couple good ones if they're smaller.
>> But what do we do in the meantime? because it's two we're two weeks away. So there's that, >> right? Um well not two weeks. >> Should we look around and >> wait, three weeks >> decide on vote on this one next week then the tent. >> Well, they need to they need it in with
>> we could uh I mean they this is like we could literally rent this the week before. We just need I mean >> as long as it's available I assume. Yeah. >> Yeah. So, if if we wait until next week to commit to
this, I mean, we could look at now and see if we're good with it, but in the meantime, before we pull the trigger on this, just see what we can find that we could purchase. >> But how do we how do we figure that out? We just come up with someone is assigned to look up quotes for that like on
Amazon or something or >> Amazon's are uh a 30 by60 Amazon is $9,999. And since the replacement top is $45.99. >> Yeah, that's the big 30 x60. >> It is a 30 by 60, but I was going off what you had on here.
>> If you get Yeah, but if you get like two two by 40s or something, >> 20 by 20 is 2,899. 40 by 40 is 4,399. >> I don't know. I think that's a lot of work for staff or for I mean, what what happens if something happens to one of
us and we're not all available? I mean, we're we're relying on people that don't exist right now or staff, and that's not fair. >> And we have like this one, we have to put it up like Troy did. What was it uh the day before? Correct. >> Yeah. And it took how long? That was a
lot of work. >> Well, I have a question. Didn't we ask Troy, is your tent available this weekend or is it not? >> It is. Um, we are actually set we're actually setting it up February
28th. It's going to be up for a week. >> Okay. >> And we'll be taking it down I think um March 10th.
So 10th or 11th. So my thought is and it you you're right. It is a lot of work. I mean, we had 10 people on the team and especially setting it up there if it's windy. >> I mean, it moved like four feet on us as
we were setting it up. So, we had pull the stakes, move them, tighten everything up, you know, but it was up and it didn't move. >> Mhm. >> So, if it's done right, you know, it's it's good. Um, I agree uh about having
staff do something like that. If they're not entrained in setting up a circus stand, it's probably not a good idea. But I also believe that buying one is a better option. Um,
and if we did purchase one for the advance committee, we could always have a team and train people uh on how to set it up, maintain it, make sure it's safe. >> We definitely could help with that. Um,
my thought was if you guys wanted to use it this time, we can take it down. Then we would probably leave it up until like th that Thursday. Take it down, put it on my trailer,
>> and haul it out to the park Friday. That's an option. >> Where is your event? >> Uh it's holiday. Uh so it's Sunray in Darlington. Well, where we had the launch for Turning Point >> B. Yeah. >> As we go.
>> Yeah. So we could take it down, you know, leave it on the trailer and then just haul it out to the park and set it up that Friday. >> Thoughts? I know the tent is older and it's not
it's not the most pristine tent, but you know, the price is great and um it so let me give you a perspective here. Um, and and I I do most of this, so it's I want you to hear what I'm saying. It's
very difficult to keep going back and saying, "Hey, we got another event. We we sponsored that." Um, you know, we we had a centennial and we got in 50 some grand or whatever. Um, and this this event we about six or whatever, and
we're going to have boom on a buy, we're going to have sponsorships. Uh, it gets very difficult. Um, continue to ask these same folks to to bring this money. So, while it's great just to say, "Okay, we're going to spend $1,500 on a tent." It's just you're going to have to constantly replenish that $1,500 over
and over again. So, I I would really rather um use the money for things we have to do um as opposed to um uh I won't say it's waste cuz it's not a waste. It's we don't have to worry about they come out
to put it up. It's all it's so it's it's worth it. But again, when you're talking about doing it over and over and over again, it you don't I mean, you you just shouldn't do that. You should you should probably invest in one so you save that cost. Um and um
I think that uh even if if we needed more time so we could actually move towards purchasing one if we were to use churches for this one more event. Um, and then that would give us time cuz we wouldn't need one till boom on the bayou. So, we can start
looking at that and if if staff couldn't be the ones put it up. You think if we had our own tent that the church could put a group of guys to put it up for us and take it down so that we would own the tent, but we would just basically get a group together to I mean, I'd be willing to help, too. I mean, it's it's
uh anything that to save money, we could put more money into the the events. >> As long as like I'm available, I wouldn't mind helping. So, do I understand why we need do we attend for all the events?
>> I don't think we even need to be honest with you. >> Yeah, because I was thinking about that now and if you think about it, so the pavilion we have the the I was going to say singers, but the bands and everything, right? >> But if we can out where the band's going
to be and isn't there some sitting space there? Like honestly, if you really think do we need >> Well, you can't let open the old equipment stuff. You can't. >> But how about like boom on the bayou? It's fireworks. So we need >> So technically the only reason we And you're right. We don't think >> we don't think about it. We don't >> and and I would I would be okay with
doing that >> table and chairs more than we need the tent to be honest with you. >> I mean you want to provide some shade is really the thought and when we have and if it rains or whatever then you got some some shelter >> like the seafood. >> Thank god we had it for the >> oh my goodness for the the last event. But I did understand like the seafood festival to have a tent so people can
eat and stuff >> and and just relax. But like the the boom on the bayou it's we're seeing fireworks. So like the tent is kind of in the way sort of to say like everybody can just bring their lawn chairs and look up you know and and boom on the bayou I mean form of entertainment is
what the form of entertainment for boom on the bayou. Oh we don't know yet. So, but I'm seeing it that cuz then you could have the pavilion of I mean I don't know and holidays on the bayou. Do we need it too for holidays? >> It was it was really because we had a
music there and you're doing shelter for people. Other than that >> we don't. Right. >> Well, I don't know. I don't >> I noticed >> and I could be wrong at Fourth of July events and things like that they're they may go under there to eat but that's not
because they want the shade, they want the tables and chairs. So, I really don't think It matter if you have a shade and or no >> and we want to buy at night. >> They want to sit under the they want somewhere to sit. They don't care about if there was a tent over them. They just wanted to sit down.
>> Exactly. So that's my So I would vote to not get the tent. Okay. I'll make a motion to not get the tent for this event and utilize the churches. >> Okay. Is there a second? >> I don't think we need a tent at all.
>> It doesn't cost anything. No, I don't think we >> Okay, let me rephrase that. I'm willing a motion that we set aside renting a tent and if we do decide to utilize a tent, then we utilize the churches.
>> Okay. Is there a second to that? >> I'll second to that. >> Okay. >> Any further discussion? >> Any public comment? See, I put a vote on favor saying I. >> I opposed. >> Okay. Motion carries. Okay. So, note 10.
>> Um, >> did you have any input? >> You have a question? No. >> No. We >> No, >> I don't think we need it. So, but if we did need it, I don't think we need it, but if we did need it. >> Yeah. >> Oh, we need it. >> You probably just want to know one way or another, right?
>> I know. Yeah. >> When would When do you want to know by? >> Um, and we can make that decision a little bit later. >> Yeah. Yeah. Here's the thing. If it's if it's raining, it's really great having that tent. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> If it's not, >> that's not a big deal.
>> It's just a lot of work. >> Like Christine, I think that's what she means in the sense of let's wait, we need it, then we use yours, but we can see the weather more or less, you know, like how you're using it February 28th to what time? March 10th, you said.
>> Um, yes. >> Okay. So then and by when do you need us to say like yes >> just enough time to >> ask for help to set it up? >> So if we >> if we would be like let's say our
meeting of March 9th >> is that too late >> because we would need it up by the >> March 9th is Monday. >> Yeah, that's the week before. Yeah, >> I would say more time at least the week before that. >> Yeah, let's by next week we'll make a decision on next week. Okay. Because I
think we can see the weather too, like more or less if it's going to rain, if it's not going to rain, you know. >> By the way, March 9th, which we do have a meeting March 9th, I will I will not be here on that Monday. >> So So yeah, let's
>> I will be in Tallahassee March 9th and 10th. >> Okay. >> Well, I'm hoping we don't have a whole lot to talk about on March 9th. Hopefully by next meeting everything's done and ready to go. >> Um it may may be close to that now actually at this meeting. So, um, maybe
we don't have to meet March 9th. So, I say we come back on March 2nd, um, and we'll we'll kind of tie any loose ends and, um, we can look at the weather. We have a twoe forecast. We can kind of >> more or less. Let me see. >> Looks like it's really going to bring
>> Don't say that word, please. >> Yeah, >> let's see real quick. And and so >> online even right here is a a 20x40 foot tent for $1,000. Now they got the
metal frames. In fact, Esther School has one set up where I guess they feed, you know, for outside the ones my kids. >> But then they shouldn't leave it set up. They did leave it set up and storm came and bent the metal.
>> Oh, really? Yeah. So that I mean they're not in fact it's called a weekender standard canopy >> 20 foot by 40 foot. Something like that would be perfect where it's easy to set up. It's hard for
>> type of situation. You set it up and take it down when you're done. >> I think that would be a good good investment. >> Yeah. Yeah. We Let's look at how we go forward with with tents or whatever. Again, if it wasn't for sun and rain,
you really wouldn't need need them, >> right? Because most people when they go watch music and out there, they're sitting out >> there anyway. >> And and definitely not a tent like what we have because normally we won't even set that thing up unless it's a four or five day
>> thing, you know, because of the time it takes. Yeah. >> The time that it takes to set up. We normally would set it up for short term. And I know you use the stakes and the poles and I don't know what I I know I've seen the tent before, but even the other tents they make these little they
look like regular weights and there's a hole on the side of it or slice out so you just slide the weight right over and it's really great. >> Yeah. Yeah. I got a set of those. They're nice. >> Yeah. >> I don't know where to get them. I've always wanted them but >> Amazon, man. >> Amazon. >> Okay. So,
>> what are we talking about the table and chairs though? >> Oh, >> yeah. Can we close some tables, chairs from the >> All right. So, how many you think we need? >> Well, this has six on here and 48 chairs. >> I think being a seafood festival, we need
>> We probably need more than six, too. >> Yeah. >> And then we can put them in >> I mean, this is only for 48 chairs is only 120. So, it's like less than $300. I mean, even if we got a couple more tables. >> Yeah. >> And public >> and they deliver those and they come
pick them up. >> Yeah. or public works can go get them because they're literally right here. Sorry, I didn't mean to volunteer. Public works, Don. >> Are the tables and chairs already at your other >> They're right down the road at the light of the world, right?
>> Yeah. But see, now we only have I think we only have six tables that we use for outside >> and there's only certain chairs that >> we use for outside. I mean, most of our chairs are used tables and chairs are in the fellowship hall
>> and uh you know, we try not to bring them outside because that dirt gets in the bottom of you don't want to drag that. >> Well, I think for renting table and chairs like that is cheap enough. >> We can ask we can ask Marie um to get
if that's okay. >> Yeah, just tables and then >> 10 tables. >> Is that 10? You think 10's enough? I think 10 tables and then eight. >> What you're looking at? >> I think it says 8 foot. Yeah.
>> Yeah. So, how how much is 10 tables and chairs for how much? >> Well, there's they have on here six for $84 and 48 chairs is 120. >> Yeah. So, 200 bucks you're getting six tables and how many chairs? >> 48. >> 48. >> 48. >> Is that a discounted price? Because you
were getting a tenth of >> No, that's their regular price. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah, if we spent a couple hundred on table chair, that's no brainer. >> We want to do 10. How many how many chairs? >> 48. >> Well, people are going to bring their
own chairs probably >> to watch the band. >> So, and I don't think >> maybe 48's enough. >> Do we need 10 tables then? Should we just do this tables? >> Sorry.
And so that' be six tables per per six chairs per table, right? 6* 8 48. Yeah. >> Eight tables. >> So >> that's three chair. Three chairs on each
side of the table. >> If it's eight tables is 64 chairs. >> If you do eight chairs, >> eight tables is 64 chairs. >> If you do eight chairs per table. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yes. I'm sorry. >> So, 64 and 8.
>> I think that would be good. And then the tables for the setup. Um, we can have Can't we set up the tables closer to like the food area? like make a food area cuz our food trucks are going to be over here and then we can so that people can come and bring their
chairs and sit them because the tent also the people putting their their chairs and stuff they had to do it around the bed and then around the table. So if we can have them just >> you can want to be front seat front row front row and then we do like a little dining area right
>> we can do like a whole dining area back from where the tent is >> or over here I mean or over here >> or somewhere Yeah. So that people can get their food eat and then they can they can leave if they want to set up their chairs and go to the vendors or whatever and then come back
>> they can do that. I mean, just an idea. >> Keep in mind, music's going to start at two. So, technically, you're going to have probably people >> already >> setting up around there. So, >> yeah. No one. >> I almost I don't think Do you really need eight tables? >> Maybe let's do the six and >> do the six and the 48.
>> Yeah, let's do the six and the 48. And that's eight eight chairs per table. >> Yeah, cuz people are going to bring their own stuff. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> And you you have a facility. It's a decent size facility, but it's not going to >> take up a lot of space, >> right?
>> And then that's probably our cost, 200 bucks, >> right? >> That' be good. >> More or less. I'm I'm sorry. Um, now if we do set up the tent, if that's what you guys choose to do, >> Mhm. >> it's not that big a deal for us if we're
already setting up the tent to bring the six tables and the 48 chairs that we brought last time. >> Well, no, just don't worry about that. If we do that, that way you guys don't have to worry about anything but setting up a tent if we do that. And then we'll have the Well, it's 200 bucks. >> I'm not worried about 200 bucks. >> 200.
>> That way you don't mess up your tables. Well, they would be the ones because actually last time we wanted more and I guess we were we brought our tables and chairs and the city had table and chairs that they were going to use and it ended up being
>> just our table and chairs and it it ended up being way more than that. >> Yeah, there was plenty in there. >> Yeah. You know, it ended up being enough and it ended up being great when it started raining. So, I'm saying if we're already bringing the tent and you wanted us to bring the tables and chairs, we
could surely do that. >> Well, go ahead and get the get the estimate on the I'm sure this is saying, but just check just in case they were giving us a deal because whatever. >> I don't think so. I think that's the regular price. >> And we'll make a decision next week whether just uh do the tent and your
chairs or just their chairs or maybe you do your chairs and take us. We'll just >> we'll settle that on Monday the second. >> Yes, sir. All right. >> Any objections? >> I agree. He's willing. Then we can help with table. >> Well, at the same time,
>> we're already bringing >> portaotties. Now, this unfortunately we uh we have to do this. >> We got it. We got it. >> No wiggle room. >> So, this is 610. And these are This is for two toilets and one handicap, right?
>> Yep. >> And then one sink. the Bravo sink. Yep. >> Not that. That's what we had last time. >> Yep. This is what we had last time. >> Yeah, that's what we had last time for Halloween. >> It was fine, right?
>> I make a motion. >> I mean, what? >> I know it's portaotti. Is that the only vendor that does these? >> I was going to say, is this the one that the city uses because they get a discount? >> Oh, okay. I see they're taking some stuff off. Yeah. I don't know if we've if we priced other vendors to see if the discount is >> actually that we got charged 700 for the
holidays. Okay. Well, go ahead. >> I make a motion to um Sorry. >> Well, I'll open discussion. Give me a sec. >> I make a motion to um approve this invoice, the 610 for the
portaotties. >> I second. >> Okay. Motion second. Any further discussion? >> I do. How many portaotti rentals are for We're paying 150 for one portaotty. >> No. Uh 14. Uh
>> it says port portable rental. >> I guess it's 140 for two. So there's >> is 300. >> Oh no. Yeah. Three. So there 150 a piece. You're getting $10 less or 140 a piece. >> Okay. But at that point, why not just
get three handicap rentals for the same amount? >> Cuz we don't need three handicapp. >> But they're nicer and there are handicapped people out there. And the toilet seats are usually higher. >> Well, she does have a point. They're only 150. There's $10 more for a handicap. Then you have then
>> and they're nice. >> $10 more a handicap is 200. >> 50 off 50 off is 150. >> So you pay 150 for handicap, 140 for a regular. I I agree. Just get three handicaps. You get a little bit more roomier in there. And then >> it's more handicap friendly, more handicap accessible
handicap ones because they have the grab bars. God forbid someone needs a grab bar. And the toilet seats are usually higher than the other seats and it's just easier to use. I don't care. >> I don't spend time in the port. >> I don't care. Yeah, >> it is what it is. >> They are more roomy.
>> We'll ask we'll have to ask Marie to get an updated quote on that. >> But I would still agree to spend the 6:30 then. >> Yeah, 610 or 6:30. I mean, if it's it's only if they're nicer, I don't remember looking at one. I said I don't realize I
have to. >> They're larger spacious. It's help. It's easier to bring a family into the handicap stall if you had a kid with you. >> Trying to be family friendly. So all the way around for the price difference of $10, I would definitely say get three of
the handicap. >> That's a no one. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Then if you get >> that discount, >> I mean that's >> Well, we'll have to see. We'll get >> if they honor the discount for three of them. >> No problem.
The handicap may also have the sinks in them. So then you wouldn't need a sink. But >> yeah. So let's let's do this. Do you want to uh do you want to amend the motion to allow if it's for we go with it as is, but if
we can get the other if we can get all three handicap toilets just for another $20 to take a 630. >> I amend the motion if we can get three handicaps for $630. And if not, we keep it as is 610 for two
regular portaotties and one handicap. Okay, >> I would second that. >> The second's already there. Second good with the amendment. Okay, so >> any further discussion? Any public comment? I seem to put a vote on favor signify by saying I. >> I opposed. Motion carries. We have
porties now. Moving on to jumping jacks bounce houses. Um, so Christine has got this estimate and I believe that's what you set for is $500 for the three >> for the three flies and one generator >> and >> and it includes they have their own
insurance. They will get the addendum for >> the city to be additionally insured. They have waiverss >> and they're gonna run it or we >> No, I am working with the college to bring with the professors >> and they all are going to roll up into
that insurance policy that I guess that they have >> volunteer. >> So who let's say you get me young kid out of college and I'm going to run that and I molest a child.
Is is is there any indemnity on the city >> because it's they don't work. >> Do you have something that if one of your vendors molests a child that it comes back on the city? >> Insurance the chamber chamber has insurance. >> Okay. >> So I I don't know. I ask a question cuz
if if it's not them, if it's not jumping jacks bounce houses running the the thing and you're you're getting volunteers or whatever, who's who's responsible for those volunteers? If it's a city, we need to know that because that's important information. Or
if it's if it's rolling up under there insurance, then we don't have to worry about it. I think we're good. But if if something happens or or they they're texting on the phone and a kid falls off the top of the the uh >> slide and breaks his neck. >> It it falls on jumping jacks.
>> Well, try to repeat that. Um, >> I don't know the answer to that, but I if if there was an attendant there that attendant does is supposed to, let's say that there horse play going on and somebody sees them jumping up and down and the attendants on his phone or
whatever and they they push it back to that attendant. >> There's waivers and liabilities that the parents sign >> from jumping are still there, >> right? But but again, when they sign that waiver, they're under the impression that there's there's there's a there's a certain amount of
supervision that's happening to prevent those things from happening. So, if I was a parent and I signed a waiver that, you know, something happened on there, I'm I'm taking responsibility, but then I've got witnesses that see that the attendant there was >> usually the parents are still
>> again, that doesn't mean that they have to be. >> I will have to get >> it only takes one lawsuit to cause a huge problem. And so we just need to make sure that you know and I'm not saying anything will happen. I'm just but you got to plan on
something happening >> and also >> so I don't have an answer for that. >> We find an answer for that. >> And what are the sizes of the inflatables because we need them for the dimensions because we're tight already where we're going to put them >> and there's not room for >> I'm trying to figure out where you're putting them because I'm not sure they can go on mulch and other stuff. So I
have to figure out what's >> grass back there. Is it grass? It's >> grass. Grass. I think they're going to fit three. There's no way they're going to fit three back there. >> You guys, there is plenty of room waterfront park. >> It depends on what they are. There's only if the if it's the obstacle course
and it's over 40 ft, they're only going to be able to get two in there. >> Yeah. Remember, it's waterfront park, but we have over 50. >> We have food trucks. Food trucks. We have to have 15 um spaces between them. We have what the pavilion don't want it
>> then don't have it. I'm just saying we can have some of these inflatable. >> We can definitely do a headache. >> We can definitely do two. We just need to know the footprint. >> The size of them are size. >> We have a space for them, but we need because we have parking. We have everything.
>> Is obstacle course 40 foot? >> I will double check online. I know we looked it up last time. With the size of the park, there shouldn't be an issue of finding space or planning for them to go. >> We have the space dedicated, but it's
not it wasn't in the back like we originally planned. They moved it to to keep it next to the playground and try to make it even a better spot for all for the kids to congregate. >> So, how close to the road is that? >> It's way off the road. >> Way off the road. Yeah. >> It's a really It's a good spot for it.
Like I said, the playground's there. So they got the playground equipment and it just keeps everything so you don't you know you don't got kids everywhere. >> That that's a good idea. I didn't I didn't know that. >> Yeah, I like that. >> Yeah. >> So you're trying to fit the three of them >> over there by the playground >> over by the
>> because where we originally were going to have them also that's vendor parking >> and then we also have um uh Tarpon Springs Fishing Club is doing their kids clinic fishing there and that's going to be in that secure area. So, okay. >> They have their their stuff there for
the fishing. We have the vendor parking. >> Oh, they put the fishing in the lake. >> Uh, no, they're the dock, right? The dock. >> Yeah. And then the vendors are And then the fire truck is there too, right? Yeah. >> So, we have all the logistics >> and then I actually when I talk I have some stuff to talk about.
>> So, Christina, we got the three inflatables. Is one of them the obstacle course? Well, we discussed um an obstacle, a slide, and the three games, which I think it goes in a circle. >> Okay. >> Yeah, we just need the sizes. I mean, if
we could fit all three in there because of the size, then yeah, but >> really need the sizes. >> I'm looking Well, how much space is over there? So, I would need to know because you guys decided on that and I have no idea what you decided on. >> It's um Do you know where the the
playground is in Waroot Park? >> Yeah. So you come in playgrounds there and it pretty much goes >> almost up to where the water is. It's on the back side in between that and there's tree line there, right? >> I don't know. >> All all along familiar with that space. I don't think there's really any space
back there. >> There's quite we just cleaned up um Saturday. >> It's a lot more There's a lot more space. You think it is? >> There's a lot of trees. >> Well, no, they're all they're all way back. It's all It's wide open. It's just grass. public is going to trim back.
>> Yeah, they're going to trim the trees and stuff over there. >> Yeah. >> Go check it out and kind of map out and see what you if you fit three in there. >> Yeah, >> that's perfect. >> I I think she can. So, >> I think I can. >> Are are you You're talking about So, you
got the dog park way in the back. >> Wait. So, where are we going to park the additional cars? Are they going to be >> around there? They're going to be from the dog park. So that area, this is all going to be parking all here. >> Where's the dog park at? >> Right there.
>> Oh, so to the side of the So parking is going to be all alongside the dog park. >> Like all where it says parking all the >> Okay. So is that is that a >> I just have that roped off so they can rope it off. >> Yeah. But that is that uh a walkway I guess.
>> Yeah. >> So it's basically it's basically on the north side of the walkway. All that >> is all good. Yeah. Okay. That walkway goes on there. All the space here. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Christina, you want to see the space?
>> Yeah. >> Pass it over. >> And even there's space behind the dog park, too, isn't there? >> Okay. >> Parking. >> No, that they're not going past the dog park. >> They're not No, because that's like >> So, you could probably give more a little more space back
behind the dog park, too. I don't know what it is. Well, the problem what they what the problem is is if it's high tide, the water comes up >> over there. >> So, that was what that was what public works was concerned about that. >> Yeah. >> If it was high tide, there would be
water over there in that back area. >> It gets hot. >> That's a fourth feature. >> I know feature water feature water on site. Is that an extra copy? Could she keep that?
>> That was my copy, but that's fine. I can get another one. Uh, >> I got one in the car. I'll I'll give you after the meeting. >> You want this one? >> Picture of it. I don't need any more pictures. >> Oh, yeah. To get where I just kind of go over there and check it out. >> We were using here. That's where the water comes in. This
>> I mean spot. >> This is where the water comes in. >> Right. See on the like right over here. >> Right over there. So around here right over here. >> Well, there's trees and stuff there. I was talking about Well, she's almost got it all the way over there anyway. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Maybe a little space.
>> Too close to the water. >> And you could Well, you could you could probably go a little closer if you barricade it off. You could probably pick up a little space there >> cuz like I said, we're going to shut that path down. >> They're going to We talked about this, too. They're going to block off like up
around the lagoon, too. So, if we need to go towards the lagoon more, we can. >> Yeah. So you have a little more space towards the lagoon there too. >> But if they're super big, it's really only going to fit two. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I think the only angle them and >> Yeah. The only big one you have is the
is the obstacle course. >> The slide is big, but it's tall. >> Yeah. >> And then the gate thing probably is. So I think >> And we can even angle it along with the trees. How the trees come around and maybe like angle it down sideways. Make that whole section.
>> Okay. Okay. So, I'll take care of it >> if uh based on size. Does somebody want to make a motion to approve this? >> Well, we want to see size and that's >> Yeah, we want to see what it is first. >> The size is but you wait the question. >> You can't come with a document with no information on it and expect the
municipality and a committee to make a decision on something that has just last time. Okay. The obstacle course. So, do you have the size and feet and dimensions of this >> of that area? >> Yeah. I was told to provide it to public works and they were going to measure it which you did not bring with you.
>> I did. I do. I have it right here. >> What are the mentions? >> All right. So, we discussed this last time. >> Well, last time you weren't here because it that was >> time before that. >> Time before that. Yeah. >> Um I know they have a 100 foot one, but that looks like it's connected with the
that the slides attached. >> I don't understand. You just get to pick whatever three you want. >> Yeah. Is it M3? $500. Just basically. >> Yes. He said an obstacle, a slide, and >> Okay. So, it's not that they're giving you for $500. This is what you can have.
We get to pick. >> Yeah, that's what we discussed. >> So, let's go to jumping jack. >> Well, so you can probably get a little if you want three and you need more space, you can probably get a little shorter obstacle course. Okay. >> We'll adjust it. >> We can fit three things in there. >> Yeah. >> Just by adjusting.
>> Yeah. So why don't I mean do we need to know exactly what they are >> on that piece sheet of paper how the trees go you could put the slide angle this way instead of blinging it off horizontally you can put it diagonal as it comes
around the circle right here and then you can put another one here and then you can put the other >> let's do this I think I think we're okay with the price there's just a little ambiguity on if we can I mean if we get three inflatables in there with a generator for $500
and you pick whatever you want and it actually fits in the area and it works. I say we just make that decision Monday and that gives you >> or we can make the motion now and as long as the three >> I don't think I don't think the rest of us comfortable with with without knowing what it is.
>> Well, the space is 100 by 15 by 100t length by 15 ft wide and 20 ft height which that actually includes the slide and the obstacle. You have a question. >> What was the Yeah, and I got the the
waiver question too. So, we got >> Can't see that >> the 100 ft in length, 15 foot wide, and 20 ft height. But that's the slide and the inflatable >> by 15 is our footprint for the obstacle course. >> Well, that's for the obstacle and the slide. >> What?
>> They're together. >> If you look at this one, >> right? >> These ones are put together right here. They attach >> the whole So the whole thing is 100 by 15. >> Mhm. >> Okay. >> Or you can separate it. >> This big thing.
>> This is the one. >> Well, that one I would have that separated. So we would do the obstacle and then the slide. But all together total footprint for those two combined two of them. >> It probably splits in half.
>> Oh, so this So one obstacle course this one and then one more stuff. >> No, no, no. This is two pieces. So the slide is a separate piece. Put it together side and then put but the >> you put them right next to each other, >> right? But for four three inflatables,
is this considered two or is this just one? I would say the Okay, let me go back. Okay, so they have a 40ft retro obstacle course which is 45 ft long by 12t wide,
which looks bigger than that. That's the air drop. >> So I think the question is is that one or two. >> Okay. So there is this one is the Baja obstacle.
>> And if I click on that view product still on. Okay. So, this one is 50 feet by 14 ft by 16 ft high. >> Say that again. >> 50 feet by 14 ft by 16 ft high. And that's an obstacle.
>> Yeah, that's that's half the footprint of the other one. >> Correct. And then let me go click on the slides. >> Oh, that's the obstacle. And they have different obstacles. >> And then the slide That's the double slide.
They have multiple slides, but for an example, this slide is 30 feet in length, six 17 feet wide, and 16 ft tall. 30 feet in length, 17 ft wide, and 16 ft
height. So >> that's a 16 foot purple water. >> Yeah. So here's here's what I would suggest. >> Go look at the park, get your measurements, figure out what three you want, bring them back for the meeting. >> Okay. >> With and show us the
>> how it's going to fit and what they are, and then we should be able to move forward on that. And obviously solve the >> the uh the puzzle about >> the >> your your um your workers. >> Good. Sure. And we can re can we get we
can get photos of the actual >> if you need if you need public health reach out to Don public works reach out to Don go over there to help figure out if that'll fit in there or how they can lay it out or whatever you know stakes and whatever they need. >> They don't need stakes. >> I mean whatever they whatever they need
>> nothing a generator. >> I I don't know what what all >> it down >> huh how does it stay down? They have probably those things. >> They got something that sticks in the ground. >> Yeah, probably like on the side. They always have those things. >> The ropes >> probably.
>> I don't know. >> I mean, they blow up. >> I'm not putting it together, >> right? Just find out what they need and then they said public works can help you. You know, maybe there's >> Is there one that you guys like better than the other one that's jumpingjack bounceous.com for an obstacle course?
>> Personally, I don't care. As long as the kids don't like it, I'm not going to be in it. So, >> okay. >> I would. this is your this is your baby. >> So I you know >> bring back what you think would be the most fun for the kids and >> and fits in there and
>> yeah just have a solid plan like this is the bounce house because that's another thing. If you >> we're not doing bounce house >> whatever obstacle course if you have three of them >> um whatever if you have three of them then if they don't have it and then it comes that day you never know. So just
if you can come with what we're getting for 500. Sure. >> I I think we're there. We just need the the details so we can >> Exactly. Which ones? >> So we don't move forward and find out they come to set it up and it doesn't fit. >> Exactly. Or if it's a different one, they don't have that one available.
>> Right. Then we can lock it in. Or or if it's three inflatables, it's 500 and then all a sudden we get the purple one and the blue one and now it's a thousand. >> No. The price. >> Yeah. She's he's working a deal. Sounds like just whatever you guys want, we're going to give you $500 for free things,
which that's great. I appreciate doing that. >> That's very nice, actually. >> Yeah. >> So, >> very nice. >> We just going to make sure we can get it in there >> and safely usher kids in and out of it. >> Absolutely. >> All right. Anything else on jumping jacks? Anything else on seafood
festival? >> So, I got my just a couple things. So, I thought because we we're learning as we're doing these events, >> right? We're going to stake off for where the vendors are. So, I just wanted to know I was thinking blue was going to be for
the food trucks or the food vendors and then probably orange for like sponsors and then or the v regular vendors or so I didn't know what you guys thought about what color for what. >> I love I love the steak like so each vendor spot is going to have
>> and then you can give them like right where the middle of the should be. >> Yep. And then Caroline can give them a number instead of them having to like find us when they pull in and she can tell them the day before your number is X and then they can just go and find their spot in the field and we'll go out on Friday um and put them all out.
>> Okay, >> great. So whatever colors you are with whatever. So I was thinking we got a sp our sponsors are going to have tents >> and I'm going to make them a different color. >> I assume they would. >> Right. Well, Hidden Creek definitely because definitely Hidden Creek and then
the fishing tournament people even though they're not a sponsor, but they're still kind of a sponsor. >> Um, we have um food trucks, >> then food tents and drink tents, >> and then non food vendors. So, I have three categories that I divide them in.
>> Okay. So, do you want to do all the food blue or >> whatever color you think we should do, we'll do. You just I just have three and then the sponsor. So affordable. >> So whatever you think what I'm I'm open to whatever. So >> whatever you guys think. I don't care the color. I mean
>> you three colors you bring. >> Well just like what? Okay. Sponsor color. What's the sponsor color? >> We'll do the orange. >> Orange. >> Okay. >> Food truck. >> Blue. >> Craft green. >> Craft regular non food vendors are green.
>> Green. Oh. >> Or should we do the pink because that's going to be easier to see in the field. We have more non food >> food vendors. >> Yeah. >> Pink probably. >> Probably the pink. Okay. >> Pink and then green for the Yeah, green
for the food tent. Drink. >> Yeah. >> Oh my god. Drink. That's great. >> Okay. Perfect. >> Okay. >> And then the numbering. Well, >> do you are you are you want to differentiate between the food tents
>> or do you just want all the food blue? No, we want to differentiate. Are they in different areas or the food trucks are going to be trucks are going to be along the road, >> right? And then the food Yeah, we should have a different color a color just in case. So my mind works that way. >> So green and then I can tell them this is where you guys are at.
>> Yeah, cuz you're going to kind of try to I guess scatter. >> Yes. >> Are you going to keep all the food together? >> Yeah. Um well, if the food if it's a a beverage time, like we have three lemonades, so I would like to see if we could put a lemonade by the kids so the kids can have a lemonade. Um,
>> yeah. So, just do the if you're a food vendor, do the the green. >> Yeah. >> Non food truck. >> Non food truck vendor. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Green. >> Okay. Yeah. Food tent drink green. Yeah. Okay. Got it. >> So, food trucks are blue, food tents are green, sponsors are orange, and regular
vendors are pink. >> And then, >> do I need to buy these steaks, I guess, or >> I got it. >> Huh? >> I got it. >> We'll take care. >> You have to buy steaks. >> No, we'll take care of it. Don't worry about it. >> You must got a stash, I guess.
>> Um, >> old fence or something you tore down. >> So, for the numberings, do I I just assigned them numbers? >> Yeah. And then we can we'll figure out where they are. Okay. Okay. Perfect. >> I just stuck these on here so you guys could see them. >> I love that. >> And then I actually mod podge the
numbers on there so they don't peel. >> I'm just podge. Oh, is that like that? Yeah. >> Coating or whatever. >> I didn't put them on the back of this one, but this one I did. Can we fire her? >> Yeah. >> Oh, we got them officially. >> Yeah, indirectly.
>> All brochures, flyers, and >> everything set up. >> Yeah, those are those are awesome colors. >> That's a great idea. >> Yeah, I hand painted these, too. >> Well, yeah, but unfortunately ours are on concrete, so we can't do stakes. >> Do you have any ideas? >> We gota do we gota do chalk. >> Chalk. Yeah,
>> that's what we're doing. Um, so I met with Sal and I met with public works and utilities on Friday. Um, we did kind of a walk through and I basically we went over like the time, what time we think somebody should be there. Um, with the
vendors coming in at 8, we told uh public works to make sure that somebody was there by 8:30 in case there's any issues and then they can stagger staff in because they're going to have staff out there for the entire event. Okay. Um, I just have on here the portaotty
delivery. Um, what we talked about as far as like what they were going to do, um, and what we were going to do, our action items were these stakes, what we were going to where we were going to color, what we were going to color them, and how they were going to be laid out. Um, oh, one of the things that came up from
the last event was vendors that had generators were running out of gas and they were asking public works to refill their generators. So, if there's anybody that has gas, can you please make sure that they they come prepared? >> Um, and if anybody has a tent to please
make sure that they come prepared with their tent because they were also asking for >> help. >> Help with the tent. >> Help putting their tent up. >> Help putting their tent up. And then they were missing things and they were asking for stakes and things like that. So they could patient. >> Yeah. Make sure that they >> there is no help. >> Y no help.
>> Um the signage um what we talked about. So, that parking area, um, Daryl actually suggested that we make that parking area in the back for vendors and all golf carts over there because the concern was where the trees are that it
might be hard for car, not hard for cars to get in and out, but he's thinking that there would be people that would be careless and possibly running into the trees or backing into the fence. So his suggestion back over here. >> So yeah, so Daryl's suggestion was to use that for vendor parking because
people weren't being going to be going in and out and also golf cart parking because they're more maneuverable and >> that's a great idea. >> Um so that was that was Daryl's idea to do that. They're going to remove the two curb stops. Um when you go into the park, there's the big tree right by the
the playground. So where we had talked about, we're they're going to remove those two curb stops. We're going to use that as an in-n-out and then we're going to have the other side also for parking. Um >> maybe we when they remove those, we could probably put two barricades on either side to kind of >> Yeah. And that's that's what they're
going to do. Um then on the south side, they're going to take back they're going to take back so it's like more like a straight line where all that brush is so we can back more cars in. And then they're going to bring some fill in to raise it up because there's a drop off
back there. So they're going to go ahead and do that. Um and then they're going to trim the finish trimming the rest of the trees. They did stump grind quite a bit of the area. Okay, good. >> Um so that was already done. So there's like three stumps that they remove and ground down, but when we were there on Friday, they were actually
>> um grading it out and raking it out. So it's flat now. >> Um they're going to coordinate with fire department to hose down the road because it was very very dusty to hose down the road and also the fields. Um but before
that I asked if they could please uh treat for fire ants this week and next week. >> Okay. Or the week after. >> Was that was that an issue? >> I mean that was a bad issue. Yeah. >> Um so >> those are nasty. >> Um I said two treatments if possible one
this this week midweek and then one um if they were able to do that. Okay. Um, also, uh, rake up and remove any loose branches because they have been doing some work in there and if there's kids going to be kids in there, we just don't want anybody tripping or getting hurt on them. Um, they're going to add mulch to
the playground area. Um, and also there were some existing broken curb stops that they said that they're going to try and get replaced also while they're there. Um, as well as setting up, you know, all the garbage and then preparing, you know, the the barricades and the cones and everything. So,
every I think they're good to go. >> I appreciate you. >> No problem. >> And I had time to make pretty stakes, >> right? I made and did my regular job too that I get paid for. >> Wow.
Superhero. >> Flyers for the fishing. >> I know. The list goes on. >> I know. Also, real quick, I did send an email over with exactly everything with the three inflatables. The obstacle is 30 by 10 ft. Slide is 30 by 15 and the
game is 15 by 8. >> Oh, one more time. So, 3010 is the obstacle. >> Um 30x 10 ft. The slide is 30 by 15 and the game is 15 by 8. And I have photos included in the email that I sent to S
Lar. >> So yeah, bas based on those numbers, um you're uh you're probably good for three, I would think, cuz the one 100 by 15 encapsulates
that entire three, right? 30 60 75. Yeah. So that sounds like it would work. >> So that I emailed them. >> Who you said sound?
>> Yes. But I can also close works take that date to see if lays out okay over there. Then we'll be good. >> They can wheel it. Use the wheel too and wheel it out to Yeah. So >> there you go. >> Thanks. Is that how you say it was? >> Yes. He emailed it.
>> Take it home. Right here to me. Okay. >> Get it done. Anything else on the seafood festival? >> I'm excited about it. >> Yeah, it's had a lot of shares. A lot of shares on >> I did update that post, too. >> The trio. >> Oh, good.
>> I put formally known as good. >> All right, cool. Um, so that's locked in. Um, I said our money situation should be good. Um, I think we're especially if we're saving on 10, I think we're going to be perfect.
>> Um, the the music came out to Oh, >> the DJ was 400. Yeah. So, we're 2,400 total. So, we're 100 budget for the music. >> Y >> um Yeah. So, we we'll probably come out with about five grand left in the >> in the kitty.
Anything else on that? All right. Moving on to item number two, updated boom on the buy sponsorship packet. Um I'm guessing we have the >> it was just those changes that we talked about. >> I Betsy I had best bestie instead of
Betsy Ross. >> Bessie Ross. >> Best bestie >> the bestie Ross. And then uh updating the 90 to 30 on the logo and it was changed >> um on Oh, the one thing in there I can't remember if we talked about it or not,
but um in there it talks about sponsorship being 90 days. >> That was it. Yeah, we changed it to 30. >> Okay. So 30. Okay. >> Yep. From 90 to 30. And it's in it's in this one, too. So the seafood festival now says 30. Okay. That now says 30. >> Awesome. >> Yep. >> Anything else on that?
>> You just need to approve it, right? >> Yeah, I'll approve on Yeah. Um, I make a motion to approve the sponsorship packet for boom on the bayou. >> Okay, >> I second. >> Have a second. Any further discussion? Public comment. See, I put a vote on favor signify by saying I.
>> I oppose. Motion carries. So, if we can get that to go out to all the businesses, preparing them to hopefully get engaged in that so we can start getting those sponsorships in. >> Was that emailed to us when >> with the agenda? Yeah, it's not in it's
not in packet on the on the website. So, I came email. >> Yeah, I know. I'm looking. I don't have it. >> It's pretty much the same as we had last year. Same levels and everything. >> I was just wanting to try to get a copy of it. >> Yeah, it's on the So, if I we had
tweaked a couple things. >> And then the this is the flyer. The boom. This is the boom on the bayou flyer. >> That was the old one. I mean, I could update it >> and the city's budgeted >> 10 grand using >> So that's I just want to know >> it's just not as fruitful as our other
ones. So it was >> at least >> I think that we got that locked in with the vendor. I think we're all good there. So all the all the sponsorship stuff comes in. >> I can change their cost. >> I do have a question um on the vendors
so that I know and I I know how to handle that. Um, it's at 9. It's from 6:00. I'm I'm letting veteran vendors know it's from 6:00 to 9:30. And the reason why I said 9:30 is because the fireworks start at 9:00. So at 9:30 is when the fireworks
are done. The fireworks are 23 minutes, I think. >> Well, say like 9:15ish. So like if if they get a late start because you remember they had an issue the last time and we started a little late. >> So I said 9:30 for the vendors so they have time for >> the people. I could put 9:30
that they end but that if the fireworks gets delayed to stay until people start leaving the >> Yeah. They they don't break down until the people start leaving. >> Yeah. Break down. Okay. And then I do have a question on the vendors. We want food
and then just so that I know what I'm looking at because I don't want just >> is this something that we want a lot of vendors in or we just want limited? How are we doing? >> Limited. And what type of vendors do we want? Like crafts. Um I know we want
>> pizza. >> Pizza. You know what? I've been looking for a pizza. >> There is a There is a pizza food truck. Really good one, too. >> Oh, wasn't there the one at the >> Well, no, they had it for the car show. >> The car show, right? >> It didn't happen over there. Yeah. Yeah. What car show?
>> The one we were going to have at Honda. >> The one we were going to have the Centennial one. >> They had pizza. >> They had a pizza food truck. Yeah. It was >> I missed that one. Yeah. Car show. >> Well, because it was it was it was there at the at the Honda dealer and the car show wasn't at the Honda dealer.
>> Oh. Oh, wow. >> That was Yeah, Cheryl was involved in all that. So, >> okay. So, pizza I agree with Troy on that pizza. Like, that's a good idea. >> Ice cream. We want Kona Ice >> because always there >> and she did say she was going to participate a little bit more things
like that. So, code Ice >> if somebody that sells like those light up things like light up >> light up bracelets or whatever those little things are. Yeah. >> Just because that that field pit's full of people sitting out there. >> We do have Let me just see real quick.
>> And to be honest with you, they're probably more so there just to see the fireworks and food. So, really, I don't know that >> vendors, right? Like so. Um, right now we have I have four and it's going to be hot. And keep in mind too, so it's not on the second Saturday. >> No.
>> So it's you're still having that market at the thing. So it's you really just need to kind of get a few food trucks and >> Yeah. I literally have And that's why I want to know to manage. I have >> a doctor. She wants a chiropractic. She wants to I guess that's fine.
>> AT&T. And then I have one food truck. Completely forgot what she was doing. One food truck and then one other crafter. So, it's only got like four or five signups. >> I only have four signups, but it's pretty good. Let me just check real quick. What is this? What is this food
truck? >> Oh, she is uh godly squeeze lemonade. So, we got lemonade. >> Okay, good. >> I'll work on the pizza because that's important. And um >> it'd be nice if we had the we had the festy flavors. >> Oh, yeah.
>> Festy flavors. Uh so, let me put >> He does that ice and then the popcorn pork rind. I was thinking hot dogs, too. Like the hot dogs guy. The easy dogs guy. >> Easy dog. Um there's actually we had another one. We had um Woo Dogs.
>> He was really good and he was >> the one that was the last one. >> Yes. >> And it was good and it was feasible. Um >> and also um I'm pretty sure he's he'll do it. I'm not 100% sure, but Georgia Boy it's barbecue barbecue. Yeah. Yeah.
>> I have to let him know exactly to secure that date. Um, okay. Just so that I have an idea. Perfect. And oh, limit number of vendors. How many vendors? >> 10. >> 10. >> That including food.
>> Are you talking >> outside food? >> Huh? Sorry. Didn't you say there was 50 already? >> No, no, no. That's on the bayou. >> I just want to know before they start. >> We're have a big craft show. >> Yeah. We don't got >> so selected on what they are and then
>> you say 10 or 10 12 I mean what do we think is a good number because the people sit in the field so I don't want to take up a lot of room >> no no I know yeah >> I think it's you just and then 10 or 12 vendors and then whatever the food is right yeah sounds >> 10 or 12 vendors and then food
>> food trucks >> maybe say max of 15 >> yeah max 15 of everything >> y >> total max 15 Oh, I mean I was saying 15 >> total, right? >> No, that's if you >> Oh, 15 vendors plus >> every if you say everything food trucks 20.
>> Okay. Okay. >> Cuz they're going to go around the perimeter. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, everything with food truck 20. Great idea. >> I have a question. Y may seem kind of like a silly question, but this is
Sunday. >> Yep. And I understand the fireworks wouldn't begin till 900 p.m. >> Dusk. Yeah. >> But is there a reason why >> it's on Sunday? >> Wouldn't capitalize
this and start earlier. I mean like 1:00 and come spend a day at the park. And >> we could but uh most people don't show up until fireworks. I mean, but if you wanted I mean >> if I was a vendor, right?
>> Right. But if you got people there to buy your stuff, but if you do and so the only draw would be more or less the food trucks >> opening that window length of time because if I if I'm a food truck and I'm coming out to an event just for two
hours, I would rather and I'm having to set up anyways. I would rather want to be there earlier and longer with the potential of making >> when vendors can get in at 4. the park open usually. >> We can open the park earlier.
>> That's what that's what I'm saying here. It says >> park opens at six. So basically you got >> three hours of that's it. If we started earlier um and had a little longer window of
time might be beneficial. Are we going to have music? It >> says music. Haven't >> we haven't locked that in yet, but I mean, >> what do you think? Do you guys like to have maybe music and then end with fireworks?
>> Because we did that, then it makes sense to open up. And >> that would be nice. I mean, >> and like I said, we could probably get a band thousand bucks. >> I'm thinking we're already planning We're already planning this big event, but it's only for a couple hours. I
mean, >> might as well capitalize on it. I don't think so. I think I think the 6 to 9 at 9:30 is enough. >> Just fireworks. >> Yep. Just the fireworks because people just people literally were walking in right before
>> there was there was literally the park was completely empty until about 8:30 and then people started >> and that was a centennial. >> Yeah. And even the year before it was the same thing like 8 8:30 people started coming in. There was maybe there was maybe >> 20 people in the in the field earlier
than that. That was just because we kept saying that parking was limited. >> So there was there was not a lot of people there. >> Did you have to do >> just just DJ? >> DJ. >> Yeah. But there was no activities to do. So why would people come earlier? There's no inflatables. There's no
games. There's no there's not. And that would be something that um >> but it's going to be >> I was going to say it in Spanish, but >> there is something that you would want that that's that's I like that idea. And then that would incentivize
>> Yeah. incentivize them to come earlier, spend the day, spend more money, get more food, and also u Mr. Hubard was talking about possible a fishing tournament that day. We can have a 5K race that day. >> So I was going to I was going to come through the wall, but I figured I just
come through the door. Um that's there's you're you guys are forgetting that it's going to be a 98 to 100 degree do you know degree day easy without breaking a sweat. >> It's true. >> So you're not going to get anyone to come into that park until
>> close the last minute. >> Okay. >> We've done this several years several times and no one's going to come in that park at 1:00 in the afternoon. That's just not going to happen. Like I said, >> probably a stupid question. >> Not to sit there in the middle of the middle of the sun, you got a big open
field. It's going to be way too hot, >> you know, and by the time you want anyone to stay, they're going to they're just going to turn around and leave. >> Well, let me ask you this. >> Um >> because we start at six, right? That's traditionally when we started. >> What if we just start at 5? You still
think it's just give them an extra hour to sell food and stuff? >> You can give them an extra hour, but you're still not going to see a return. No one. They they all start coming into the park, you know, about 8:00, quarter after 8. >> They don't know about fireworks. They don't know about any other activities.
>> We've told them we've told them several years for about all the other activities, but you want to try and bring them in an hour early. That's fine. But I'm just It's a very It's going to be a very hot day. It's going to be very hot. You know, they right now you're planning events. This is a great great time of the year, but when you get
into the summertime, you're going to see how hot it's very brutal. I just thought is I took my kids to the state fair. I'm the one you buy a wristband and you ride the rides. I'm not the parent that goes and spends hundreds of dollars on games. Can't say that for my kids friends
parents, but what if there was like a wristband that would get them a drink, a a food, and something if there was something and then they can get like a little bit of sampler from each vendor for a stamp and
then You'd have to coordinate with all the different vendors. But >> it probably be a lot of work, but I'm just saying >> if they were able to get a little bit of everything. >> Is it? So, it's a short window for But
you get you get a big rush, right? Everybody comes over fireworks and they're buying food or whatever. >> Yeah, that makes sense. Make the money hours. >> I'd be okay with opening at five. That's not >> And that just gives a little extra time. It's not
super hot >> sunset >> because then you got you're right around dinner time then. >> So they might come out early, get their seat for the fireworks and have a it might help get food. >> Dinner and fireworks would be nice for older couples or people without kids.
>> And then maybe maybe we could get a maybe we could get >> we could do music from 5 to seven if we wanted to. sunset. >> Or it's not. It's still just an extra hour. >> Sunset of fireworks. >> Are you guess? >> Yes, because I've done Do you know how many times I've done this event since
they started the inception of Boom on the Body? >> Well, it was only an hour >> and they're really going to be there anyway. >> Be there though, an hour early. So, >> that means their setup would be at 3. >> Well, she deals with the parking and stuff, too. I've watched her so I could I can
>> watch her. Good job. I get I get you that you watched her. Thank you. Thank you, Troy, for pointing that out. >> Watching her while she was directing traffic. >> Yeah. No. Hey, I don't care. Just if
>> Is there any interest in do an extra hour? I don't care either way. >> I don't me either. I don't care either way. >> Let's take a vote. >> I need a motion. >> How to vote? Um motion to start the event at 5:00. Okay. Opening the doors for public.
Is there a second? There's your answer. Okay. Six o'clock. >> How else would you have a word? >> By the way, >> huh? >> If you don't care, you could always do a second to see where you have the motion. >> Huh? >> How would you have worded the motion then?
>> I tell you just I just going to see where by that >> because look where sunset is I was looking for sunset. We could have waited for that. since it is 8:26 or 8:37 on that day. So, it is late. >> Yeah, they're waiting. >> So, yeah, people are not at 5. You're not going to come at that. I mean, think
about at 5. >> I wouldn't show up at 5 if it's if it's at 8:30. >> But if you want people to start purchasing food from vendors, you want them there to come early and >> pick up food and order food. And >> cuz I would think you would come in and
you would get So, if I know fireworks start at 9:00. >> Well, it doesn't matter because it didn't get a second. So, >> no, I didn't. So, >> I think an hour is really a motion to >> adjourn. Not we have old business. >> Almost there. All right. So, anything else on you? >> No. >> Okay. Old business. Anybody got any old
business? >> No. >> I just have one thing that um this whole business as of Saturday. Uh >> that's still old business. >> Yeah. M >> um I
I appreciate what public works did in the park because with the tree trimming and all that, we ended up I think five pickup loads of brush just stuff that was laying on the ground. >> They took advantage of saying >> there's going to be more. So if you want
to bring them back out, >> yeah, and I mean we could surely >> pick up. Yeah, cuz they're going to clean out that whole back that whole back brushy area. >> Well, like I said, CAC at March 7th has >> Yeah, March 7th. >> Yeah. So, working with coming out March
7th >> March that you're giving us work for March 7th, S. >> Sorry, >> you're giving us work for March 7th. >> Sure. Yes. >> To pick up brushes. >> CAC is doing a clean up brush. I mean, I was even trying to talk him into just
taking it to the burn pile over at church and burn it so you guys didn't have to clean it up, but then it ended up >> I thought that was him laughing. >> It ended up being five pickup loads. So, I mean, yeah. >> All right. Any other old business?
>> Oh, that's it. >> What else? All right, Cam. >> Motion to adjurnn. I second. >> Motion second. All in favor say I. >> I.
