meeting board of the new year November 17, 2025 sunshine records to Northern Valley
website. One quick announcement. There's a resident in town. He's 90 years old and her son asked me to stop by some point. So come in
resources when recognizing people follow each meeting are recorded. people back. Okay. >> See no hands there. >> All right. Comments back and for the agenda items
2020 strategic plan and capital plan. >> Sure. Thanks everybody. So today I think you know the biologist Google So
we had three major uh last this year, right? The first and foremost were our roles. Sorry, this is Hey, we're in So uh our first objective was roads and
we can talk about that. I know uh we we've been doing a lot of the roads with PSVG but I'll let you guys talk about the rivers. >> Second was um parks is really proud uh I
know councilwoman Dr. honor. We had uh our opening of the tennis courts last week, which was super awesome. And then the third was downtown and uh pedestrian safety. Uh you've seen a lot of improvements that we made by the park
area um and other interface. So, you know, I would say I'm actually proud of the way it was counciloman. Um, you know, I'm proud of what we've accomplished this year. But actually, even more importantly, I think we have
to challenge ourselves. We st we put the funds where we spend the center. you know, this is a good part of the boost strategy intuitive. So, obviously very happy and excited that we're doing
this again. I appreciate you guys taking the time uh to uh reassess our strategy and uh enhance it for so we reopen the pool. We built the door bars.
I love a lot of pickle ball courts. We do a lot of stuff. >> That's all. >> Good job. >> Let me ask my question. How much did we all spend?
Um I know took a little time here to over did we spend what we already spent last night. >> Yes. >> So we did all that under winter.
That's important. Yeah. When you were interviewing communication um technique I didn't know we were going to have to grow it but that was definitely an area in the end zone. So I'm glad to have you know world
Facebook that laid out when I actually noted um respect of having this point. The area I think we need to improve on is use safety. Uh and
actually car accident situations. Uh I think it was reached an alltime high. Uh I had too many safely. I especially a lack of awareness
of the move of the road. You know, I I was number and I last night was looking at things that I I remember today vision hero initiatives like Dr.
Green. I think that this world needs to absolutely fuel resources and energy and we can combine it with the work we're doing challenge but
this this is becoming a crazy dangerous place to drive and walk and I think we have a lot of people who are unaware there's a road and um so we can only do so much
from an engineering perspective if we don't actually truly undertake a massive education campaign. This is just a matter of time and it's worked. I >> just I just wonder I think Chief we know you have statistics of like yes there
more accidents than last year and these this is where they're happening but the most part so we could handle it strategically. That would be something that would probably be part of an initiative of vision zero. Um get
>> vision zero >> vision zeroing. Yeah. >> So, I just talking coming in two this block Saturday transportation
association. They will work with you or traffic engineers. They can lend to us and see project this illumination cross.
I just want to go on accident. If drivers don't understand that you actually need to stop for people to cross the street and it doesn't matter how eliminated the crowd was. So it
takes an entire comprehensive campaign translated into multiple languages about what the rules are here. That's it. is it's not just how do we engineer our way out of this and I don't
even need to go to the chief of police, you know, to know that we it's getting worse and worse. We're having more and more people moving in and it's it's really a problem. It's a it's a danger, you know, safety in our community. This
is a safety issue. And so I wanted this to be really I want this to be really front of mind engineering and also education just so I'm glad because I think we need some new
direction this is a big believer you come a long way is physical barri and not you say 100% accurate but at the end of the day the only thing that stops
cars are speed or physical barriers and it worsen. So we hope something we should >> speed bumps >> speed bumps and law enforcement things Washington every day.
So I'm going to advocate this is a big priority >> because I do see it he just reminded me the amount of times in the last year that the issue people very large has come to us whether it's speed b that1
this is something or the bike anything this is something people and I really Anybody else have any thoughts on >> that? I think the communication has improved
for sure. And basically we need the PR element. So the way to speak to address the community when they go their own medicine directly properly communicate not just through
a Instagram popup page but like how to speak to the community in the right way and address everything else. I think that's a really important element as we need to move forward because communication >> a comprehensive communication strategy
to like bring us to interaction with the community and with the resources that that welfare >> I will suggest that in addition to pedestrian safety your largest issue with our project that you will have the
largest number of municipalities in this town will be on the deer populations. I think we should investigate a deer whose role I don't have much money to do. I don't know the answer, but we should have a study on deer population control the state, the county, and anybody that's going to listen to us because the
number of times you drive home at night, the deer has been way very double passion is very dark. There are people walking hand >> they cannot adhere to >> it's actually very related
about driving and people are driving back and there's a lot of the issue about No, we didn't. We just threw it out. >> That was the one thing I was jumping up
>> right at expectation and under budget. All right, that's a lot of things to take. We accomplish things that in line with objectives which we set out a year ago, including a lot of investment parks.
I'm dissatisfied with the performance on the roads and I follow all of this data. I don't believe it. I mean they should be all liable for the destruction of our town and then the entire county state their warrants in different performance and I suggest that we spend more time
posting that involvement into their responsibility. Uh I think that our TPW traditions have been in great on very very long and Stephen doing these here on my way doing it on Saturday mornings. People have actually noticed these are just a big Sunday
breakp uh director thanks to David. Um and I think our our police ser and we should focus more on staffing development. Yes, that's been an outstanding shoe.
Part of what makes it sound is how the town looks and feels that responsibility. I understand it's not and us thing. We can't necessarily buy all the way through that. We should be very concerned about how we staff this year.
>> I also think our joints events this year were fantastic. the fall basketball and Denver event basketball and I I feel I feel that we have that and it's been a higher
quality >> people or economic status branding of what didn't go well as a person like that like if you're doing something well maybe we started something better and I know I'm not
perfect world >> talking about but um I think that I sometimes I get I get feedback about the communication I don't I'm just going to jump up rather
than say we email uh and not respond back. kind of um concerns about coding is key because I when I I don't know who told and when I do find out who told when I do find an email I don't get a
response and um that's that's a concern in this community because I do have that a lot of effort and money into whether it's the website or uh you know we hire people to answer the problems. I think
that those front page name that our residents um facing uh could could be something that we look at more. >> Yeah. She started talking. So I start
point of reference. 99% of everything we want to really do incorporates to you know every other we've done this year that's been thrown into they don't have the resources to do everything and
then it becomes this balancing act as to how aggressive we've done that we need to really be there's All right. So, but Indiana has with it package clients would have to be
available soon and also the Android section. Um the Android site is probably a little bit behind the map. Um I anticipated that day out here.
Um as far as communication and social media, it's been a great success. I know a number of the council members already. We've accomplished all that by the way this morning time this morning social media reading
the social media announcement posting. Um, as far as getting into a back and forth, the number of eggs was very much detail. Um, sharing that government officials don't back and
forth on social media. be a resident just match your information and referring it to an office or email I think to do it or there has to be because
right now people are are going to walk on Facebook we don't comment at all sometimes I can't open it I can't open it sometimes but they say the craziest thing and nobody respond. So there's got to be
responds to it. turning the rest of the park into a park because you know it's not >> well I think in those instances you have
to be with social media you have to be careful because what was the party you said so if someone goes out there and said, "Yeah, we're going to turn him into a parking lot." And then we respond, "There's no plans for a parking lot there." They're someone's going to say,
"Well, what do you mean? You have no plans or there will be plan." Okay. In other words, it's a very >> right. So, so since it's not happening, right, >> it is nothing. So, if someone comes up to me and says, "What's going on with your car?
What do you mean? Well, I heard parking lot. Well, that's stupid. I don't know who told you that. You know, it's it's just we have to be very careful what we respond to. >> I want to be a person. Somebody from the town that can respond when they say people start having
freaked out of of you know nature center. Someone our office should be able to comment in the right way. like a strategy on the offensive like it's you got to start with a different
kind of strategy where there is it's like it comes from Mar's name once a week at the beginning of the whatever it is at the beginning of a strategy it's like this is what's this is the blah blah blah you know and then that's it and then people will maybe go crazy you
can't respond it is what it is but whatever the strategy is it comes on the on the opposite side, not the response side, but it's we're giving you the information. So, there is power. You just go nuts, whatever. But like and then there is um there has to be an
information like perceptible like it's not on social media, but people actually know that they can go on this app and they can clean their heads off and they can get some kind of response to somehow validate their mania or or their
legitimate uh she needs some questions because no one knows where to go at this point >> and no one's getting a response if they do like send an email because there's too much and it's too it's like it's not streamlined enough for people to understand it. It has to be stupid like
because we're all stupid as a public like we need to be able to think I mean all of us like we have to be able to think about it in five seconds where to go what to do what to press and I would just add I don't I don't know that the the website even though we've done a lot
of work on it I don't know it's as user friendly as it can be. I don't know that people are saying this is more and they're getting responses. I just think it's getting yelled at. >> Often find myself
to be among the people most of the room on the top. This is one of those topics. However, what I do know is I think we should have on this board that we invest money for one year and higher PR. that does speak municipalities are opened to
teach us rather than guessing. I agree with what you're saying. Let's get a VR fun. Let's spend some money on that. Let's say one of the best practices for communicating whether it be electronically because we're 100%
social media. >> She said well she asked me she's been she does a beautiful job and she asked me questions about like how to grow your account and all of that. I think is she does a great job and we need it to be
and she should be doing that but like we need the a whole strategy that's informed >> you know we know it's not being done right because people are complaining to us >> and then they managed to tell people
about zero dissipate information What should we focus on? Uh super things that are in play are the new settings. Um we installed
around the end of 25 I laughed out loud and electronic said no. Yeah, it's not. >> It's a slang term the kids use. So, it's meant to grab their attention, which I
think is brilliant because you got all of your drivers 28 yourself organizations and recreation. I love that. Um, but the new sign will be at uh new sign.
like even like we need to put like updates on that because you're having to approve and put everything through and it's more it's less automated. >> Yeah. Uh yeah more
in there. Yeah. is 100% you wanted to do take a couple minutes maybe we can write down what our priorities are there as a team >> yeah so just take everyone out of notad
uh let's just kind of lay out some of the things we think there's priorities and we can go do that and then take whatever ones Jenny else. Yeah, but I think an idea
>> page. Yes. I have I mean something. That's it. Hello. Perfect. Squares anywhere you'd like. down.
Yeah. I can assure you it's my personal growth. Starting like these pictures for I was telling March. >> Oh yeah, you are losing
love. That's one thing that's very So we'll go through all these sort of one by one by a number of the things sort of center around downtown improvements. So we try to focus on that
commercial. So the one main area we have is the downtown camp here which was really a a take off on the Alexander event. the hour block would be a good time to pass out that that concept.
>> Both of them would just be in both the bus department station very and what we're looking for here is the orientation of where this is going to go. Um and then we're engineering we
come back with some additional focus um conceptually >> that could be in >> this is just a structure totally and this would be placed where it say I know I
this. >> Which one? >> Which one? >> Yeah, that's just >> what's happening. >> It's uh green space.
>> Yeah. So remember the bus stop. I mean that's we all right so that the the configuration that is on that concept basically picked off picked up off of where the jungle control was
>> for both the Alexander and the US is that concept in front of you generally with the layout that we would be like to see go further in uh more detailed design. Yeah. And I would say we also did it with the stage background.
>> Oh, it's in there. So the school the kids have like plays or something, >> right? But it works for a design. >> Yes. >> All right. And I know that it's been Jamie now. There's a that's a wooded structure just some kind of give them
big the the engineers are pretty much stone stone structure which goes some night. Um the whole idea for this one is that because it's open it doesn't uh you know block anything on
and the goal would be also to have an downtown. So we want to use all natural stuff like what is but instead of I'm going to give you the opposite the opposite imagine you know central park band fully cement
8 trillion pounds hides everything we're doing the opposite right so it's open you can see through it almost such that you can see what's going on in railroad >> very natural and do we have in mind an upper limit budget that you want to
target for That's the question. How much? >> Yeah. >> Well, let me ask you a question. If we start with the body, but we have no facts in front of us. Yeah. >> We could be talking in circles. Why don't we focus on?
>> Yeah. We're also talking about offset. Can we rent this? Oh, >> the rental at the US Open cost was $30,000. I'm saying if we rent it out to
somebody's birthday party, I'd like to do it in the middle of town for $50. box. Oh, >> sorry. >> I guess your question is completely short of course. >> We should look at that.
>> Okay, fair enough. Let's say like the dance studio wants to >> absolutely >> all right then the downtown improvement are the sidewalks and curves that they haven't talked about. >> Yeah. I asked since you guys have been talking
about sidewalks and is there any discussion about like making them a little bit wider is that possibility so that there's more of tables and this type of thing like that's legit idea whether or not
detail we're seeing six feet wide so that a lot of you can dance too. >> I I think that >> it wasn't even mine. Yes. I can't take credit. >> But widen the sidewalks a little bit so
you can have tables out. >> Do we need an exp? >> Yes, I think so. I mean, do you want people to be able to sit outside? They're all over here in committee. How are we keeping people to like stay
downtown? I think that there has to be that sense that there's somewhere to go. And right now, I don't feel like I just want to sit on Washington Street. And so, if the sidewalks are a little bit wider, there's perhaps some more opportunity to create
more of an environment to stay and enjoy. >> Shut up. I hope we want 90 days from our sidewalks. >> I do not I think some are okay. This is
a permit matter, you know, other thing and even maybe I have to walk around diners. It's tiny. So my my personal preference only one person's privacy I would love more dining
but I do think that dining of the town it makes it feel like people are actually in our town. Um, so I would say that it doesn't more than just like satisfy their group, but I definitely
think water makes >> but I think what they have discussed before when you're in the audience is that there's a plan that that I think moving forward to replace >> to replace.
So you weren't talking about >> lighting. >> Yeah. So lighting is one here, but it's just lighting from downtown lighting. It should be under. Yeah, if we're going to rip out the
sidew blocks and ask for irrigation irrigation because so far areas Right. It was a top order. >> I think I think it's most like
art and theater of it. But you know whe downtown would be nice. Yeah. So just to throw it out there um I know this is probably not recently but on Washington Street the idea of Starbucks consider
whether or not the street one way direction >> that's interesting >> other way they came out to be with each side with each side still have two rows of parking and then
you have a mile for the with us. No more. >> It's just an idea. >> I I if anything I would do the whole thing pedestrian just the whole thing parking space. >> Yeah. But then you wipe out
80 probably 60 parking spots. That would be a problem to visit. you have to circle like whatever we and I think that's the problem with our downtowns we begin with you know if you look at normal like really successful downtowns you don't you kind of just have to drive
through it wherever you're going have to drive through it ours downtown you don't you can actually avoid it very very easily you have to wait and you have to go through lights to get to the downtown um I did not I think our downtown would
We we drink county lot so that everyone have to drive back and forth through the downtown. Um but we can so I think making it a one way we if I'm coming this way I'm going to go that way or vice versa. I think if make it more
challenging people will >> just I like the exploratory think about a jab j down space that's an interesting model I think it's worth great for business
then when we're taking this off you can diagonal park as well Yeah, >> because then you could also come in along. You could like come into that parking lot there would be another entrance. If you're coming in from to to
access downtown I mean whatever I don't >> well that gets into traffic so unless there's more traffic coming from the east to the west from the west to the east that
next is traffic safety bike we're done with But one thing with the amphitheater in downtown there should also be uh always a lot of communication with there because there's there's a concentration of activity
from the residents uh needed from the businesses and the communication back and forth all the need but I think that needs to be a major focus around communications for nonions. And then with the young theater, you know, people are having to there were
using it as a program. I can just say one of the things very people who they just meet. They just meet no events. I I done I'm like, you know
what? People don't know that there's the country fair at the church. They heard it. Now they want to go to the calendar. Oh, I don't see the details. Oh, wait. I forgot which concert was playing tonight. I I should write I should know
my first thought in that calendar. I have an idea on that too. I think it goes with the content that there's no like on website you can submit an event to a calendar and then it can be approved. It's not just any random weird
thing. We have to say yes or no but yeah the community can contribute to and that's an access point on our website like in a very place and I think that will be great. >> I think it's important for you. >> All right. So it sounds like they've
moved into uh town communication. So let's take that word. And we have to communicate safety resistance go out on the street. >> They don't stop. Yeah, they don't stop. >> Okay. So, we haveation
events, communications, residents response, and you are working. So, >> said integrate a communitywide calendar into your website.
Yeah. >> Yeah. Well, we we brought a lot of new software on. We want to make sure we're utilizing the software. >> Great. So maybe it's somebody that would be great. communication between departments. I mean I like and I don't
know my department had a Halloween um downtown and maybe later the teacher center kind of thing up there. I don't know maybe he's better at having more maybe
and then >> coordinate coordination big one forest a big you know forest from the rec department center I don't know
>> Dr. John was an interesting rais interesting point of >> it's not just over the sides department they each have their own constituencies >> like there's people who go to the major
center who have no ide where some people hang out you know so there's different different constituency if I'm going to haunted forest Right. >> Okay. I have kids. I'm the one that's follow
I don't know if I don't know about kids and by the nature center about something. So communication, but I don't think I don't think the goal of combining
programs is necessarily something that we'd be looking to accomplish because they understand >> together. Then they're each communicated to their constituencies and they're going to one haunted forest and they're
worried about all the things that are found nature center. people. >> First of all, it is something that the center wants. The nature center does want to be more unified with the rec department. They specifically said that
to me. >> Well, then that's good news. I guess you're right. diplomatic it's it's um creating more like a a unified community around the city >> now we get to events
events >> events okay I don't know that I mean communications is not events but events that could utilize a better and more >> well I guess what I mean is what do you what do you envision
>> okay so here's the thing we have had a ton of events you know >> sorry is that a different um several >> totally we can see what it is it's a good price so Uh someone approached me
and we'll see how this works with the uh the social the new website. It's called Oclair. I'm getting it wrong. This is about communications uh amongst us amongst the team. Um what
it does is you know I'll make this sound cool AI but the whole idea is at least I'll speak for myself it's really hard we we rely on our professionals a lot which is great is because who knows all the uh ordinances of the entire town the
whole idea is it's for boards I don't see why we can't use this for our quote unquote board and it allows you to search like we're having a conversation about distance of the sidewalks in two
seconds. You're able to p it will find the ordinance for us on what the sidewalk is much quicker. It also is able to go into all of our past minutes and meetings and discussions such so we can pull it up. So I think it provides
us a real time help in council based on the store. So um it's possible I'll have obviously David runs the show. I'll have him reach out. It's a good price. Zero. >> Yeah, I'm not willing to pay anything.
>> On a serious note, um general code that does ordinances, they do have to look into that. You can publish all of our res ordinances and resolutions and minutes online and then you could search them. I don't want to ask.
So that's one tool and this but this may be something that's more appropriate. >> Yeah. Um okay then just moving towards >> okay so KPI KPI
>> one real attendees last month >> a lot >> I think it was people >> the festival what's what's the what's the >> a lot of people attending so there's 5,000 people that attended
>> but the the feed the positive feedback that this is this is our town that we're proud to live in. This is where we want to go on the weekend. This is where we want to get together with our friends. This is where this is this is the
flagship like it's something to be proud of and it's serving a meeting which is community engagement. We're bringing all of the groups together. We're giving more opportunities for more people to come together to do things. And what that is is we're making businesses now.
We have almost 90 chamber of commerce members. Now we started with 30 question people when I started and these are chamber members that are not necessarily just internal. It's more resistant that wants to sit down to serve our community
because of the success mar. And it's more it's it's it's a higher level of um therapists that we're offering that explore mission and joy. So we have to influence and just enjoy
it. >> It's also created. So there's some there's some of this right and that that we did not like we did not design coverage. Some of it was in response to and it said that to the play as a cultural destination and that was like
Wow, that's an interview because because we know that the schools have fantastic cultural resources, but the town of Scotland noticed that. >> So you see it as part of our marketing. >> Do I see it as marketing? I think that the marketing venture is but I think the
the residential the residents and our community also like are valuing it. So, I think that overall we're going to see like for example, we have um a national brand who's come to me who sent me an email and wants to be at our next event. So, Kendra Scott wrote me their person
from New York City like wrote me and they're like, "You want to be at your event? >> What size are you?" >> And uh we want to give back to your nonprofit of choice. We're going to give back 20% to the Temple Nature Center for them to be there. I think they're going
to do a promotion at their store and they're going to do a weekend long >> participates in all of our events and it's and then so this is a way for them to partner up in that um in that >> so I think your point we could
absolutely school is to bring the enjoyment of traffic. I think as Benny said, uh what it has done is it's elevating the town to where we should be. So legitimately, we've all been here
five years ago. The we had the fairs. We could argue, Jenny, I know you're talking about we had three fairs, two fairs in a year. They were they were below what was
if we're going to be directing and I don't think it's wrong here directing capital we should know what our goals are how we measure those right because it will course correct and improve actually what we're delivering >> and I think that's what we should focus on rather than just having which
perspective is a community awareness of engagement element that's all good if you have the opportunity and I know important to learn some as well. It truly is a partnership. So, it doesn't matter. If we had $100 on these events, I just want
to make sure those as well. The chamber is paying 50% of that. So, that's privately run from the businesses. >> Well, that question I would have rather nonprofit, but I would rather just pour that money back
into the downtown development. that's why >> that's why we chose that but also like um yeah I mean I know you I know you do know the value proposition but I think yeah I want to understand also like how
do we how do we like define how to grow it and move it >> yeah so can move to the situation where you know they're not we don't pay anything
or maybe the town >> of a trust that's called public events so you can raise money it's dedication by wire and people can donate to the trust donated residents donated to the tri we
also budget is budget lines in our budget for celebration events. Um you also um can the community night change the world to vendors to go right. So there's different there's three options
right that you just person >> Okay. Right. So I've been exploring potential and and then ultimately she came back with like she does need some capital to get out the gate to get >> any potential the alternative that we
can think about is remember so the alternative is we brought this up in past strategic plan sessions is you hire a full-time person in downtown which I ask to be very open to downtown.
Yes, the X percentage of that time is on putting the events together if we wouldn't have to pay someone else. The other uh percentage of the time which I love is again providing lubricants to get you know you started you come in to launch a business
and this person helps with the building department to know let's deal with the the food post and we know you know the inspectors. I think that would be a, you know, let's look at what the budget looks like. I think that' be a very val person.
>> Yeah. And I would think that maybe some kind of cultural affairs um >> think about this Monday night, right? David, sorry. This Monday night, we have the uh tree lighting stuff, right? That's what I'm saying. >> Yes.
>> But no, >> we should start talking about something. >> I think we said there was whether or not talked to the rabbi about lighting around the same time.
>> Oh no, he's doing it. He said no for uh the 15th of December tomorrow at 6:30. >> So let's see. Let's make sure all the events from my
language. We should go with all of the events that every single person like every market does and we should be communicating >> there audience that we don't communicate like I'm just saying
something that's a huge event but we should be we should be >> so so there's the media events committee that needs responsible the events that are submitted to us. Um and it gets put on a major calendar that can be published
there. Um departments, we have department meetings at least twice a month if not where departments will share information and it gives that out. um as far as >> there's something happening
sometimes it's difficult to you know that >> with our beds right um Adam so far as staff in person do this uh I think we would have to see whether it could be
taken on by one or two part 00 people because as soon as you make it fulltime then you're adding $50,000 >> and maybe you should want them part time. I let's let's think about it if this is if we can almost create a uh job
of sorts to understand what they're doing. If the council would say, "Wow, I absolutely want those five days." We can see we can get a part time in that. >> Now, I will tell you, I'll just digress for a second. We we have some real issues with the current folks that are
engaged main streets. Sabrina, >> this is this public. >> Yeah, it's public. But but what I'm going to say is what I want to say is this that you know our staff our staff is not
there to do their work. Um and including including at the very last minute while at a conference a couple of days ago you know we got a nasty phone calling wonders and you know that's just about the
thing. So, we're going to $25,000 work. This is for any next year, but just something. >> Yeah, it's uh she's a she's a interesting person. Um so one of the events
one the events we ought to look at what if anything you want to do around World Cup I jungle type and then the 250th anniversary of the country event which the high school team kids are taking on
>> I and yeah maybe a presentation where they want to do a number of things 250th anniversary of the country I think starting around July um and then culminate around
like marking trail markings and stuff go >> ahead So my dreams a lot about like we talk about a great example. So world cup we should be engaging kind of like United
you know which we can do and and then maybe finding a um another partner a sponsor partner. We should be kind of combining forces with this business. >> This is what we need.
ator even a reliable contractor that can coordinate all of these pieces because it's a lot for to have to manage it and doesn't have to we can take the learnings from the department of contractors
something >> and and if we move forward with the with the epic theater and I Adam and I had some offline conversations if we move quickly enough on it we may be able to have it within the ground right It's June 11th is the beginning of the
world battles right that page out >> so again our stuff and then we can use our we need an event contractor who can just easily who has that in their wheelhouse to coordinate these people Jamie's like here are the
here are the people here are the introductions make it work with these people that's what a person a person of the person that we would want to hire adapt. >> So let's fast forward and say you had the same theater run the events for that as an example.
So, >> and right >> um anything else? >> Sorry. >> The key thing element there that streamlines the process and makes it more efficient. >> Communication,
right? communication >> with that same individual >> Yeah, we might be too separate. >> Okay, so now we can move into uh traffic safety bikes focus >> potentially.
So David while we're reflecting this you find these kind of trainings. >> Yeah. >> Can can you talk about that? >> Yeah. Basically it's um it's a organization and sort of reimagine some
of your road markings. That's important. >> Street. We can have a call before our council meeting and give a presentation once you be able to receive that under us with the 26,000. Thank you, my dear. I'll show you what
today. You definitely have to they're not specific to a gown, right? Complete streams could be they are also going to other streams in the community and say, "Well, hey, we'll be leaving this thing for
specific." >> No, it's not. >> Okay. We have a lot of >> Yeah. >> You know, she chairman justice. So a lot of the stuff you're learning unfortunately supplies into the
direction we want to go. I was just saying I am education and the one key that they do not have when they have uh is education to the public education of the
public is so important about they're the ones behind the wheel they're going to need to go down they're going to be out and they just I don't know if they have materials that they put out that are translated and language changes
multicultural beauty. uh you know things that talk about okay if we bring these lighting costs what does that mean for you to educate people
>> and we have >> I can tell you this without without doubt gives out licenses to people who have no business walking. >> That's great news. Thanks for sharing. >> I'm just going to say you have informed
my view of this years ago mentioned. >> I kept looking in my head and you would be very surprised. We talked to him another time there. You imagine that people are getting more they should get the license.
It's very >> a large part of this comes down to enforcement which we are massive. We have failed on the ceremony yesterday to enforce any of our laws which quickly turn signs in and
I swear to God every mile in town and I in this seat feel like getting out of my car like they did not see the sign. I've today resisted that temptation. But I believe I believe our thoughts can be on that soon watching it. You want a course record? Yes, I support you in education.
You want to really change people's attitudes, give them a damn thing. >> So John, I just want to give one other thing about that. So you can somebody back in the day, we had to get thought that there's a police officer parking.
It's across from the jeweler. It's uh across from the diner. It's police department one. Yeah. One spot. They used to have a police officer uh there all the time and that has been every
single time and we do not have >> that created chilling effect. and stop. Yes. Education and no person >> question is J. Go ahead. Um
that I think it's probably a traffic engineer perspective and the chief's perspective speak for them but I think that the two of them have found to be successful the folks that want the sidewalks the sidewalk sidewalks
the and more importantly they want speed homestead the important thing to note is those people that are snowable do not live No, the main person is not going to want to put a speed up there. They'll waste the exhaust.
No, I'm saying that when we're talking more painted for bikes, >> can you can you also specify in addition to Jamie's comment, can we really say I was telling you that
that's going to start. You'll need to do a street light inventory down. >> Okay. >> To know the the dark spots. >> So, they get and so I live along with sometimes when I light the pillow. I've heard that it's like an issue with um
they use like the environmental goods typically and PSG. And I'm just wondering if they maybe actually I give we as a group additional
lighting that it's not just uh wear as a light. I think I'm saying this right PSG lightensive. So PSC puts up at their expense and reason because they
get the next month. >> Okay. >> All right. So we have traffic one bike and pedestrian focus pedestrian and vehicle safety roads development. Awesome. >> So, there's this thing happening in the
schools right now. I don't know if you guys know about this, but maybe it's Joseph school that they're doing like a whole education campaign on safe pedestrian safety that's super effective with these little kids, but it's like the entire town needs that and I don't
know how we engage, but like Mr. doing this and he's like motivating the entire school community to start walking to school because driving is so unsafe in that area with that amount of people.
So I just I think that it it would be worth in addition to integrating what's happening here kind of communication congressman talking about and that's another I just want to be
able to put together What? >> So I was at I was in mall last night and driving street I think. And before pedestrian cross, they had rubble strips
in the road which you usually don't see on the highways for whatever reason. >> That's okay. >> You know, >> yeah, >> you know, right? That's very different than speed bumps, bubble strips, because if you have bubble strips where the
street crossing the car doesn't slow down, it's like what's going on? Pay attention to >> Thanks. >> Yes. Maybe that's compromising myself for me is best discussion on job talking
point here. It's just about it's almost 10:30. We're literally halfway through tomorrow morning. So important to stay >> focused. >> All right. >> Okay. >> All right. So just a little
>> Thank you. Well, in all of these things, it sounds like the common theme and arguably if we were equally sure of the traffic safety, it sounds like whether dismissible or otherwise, sidewalks should be a priority judgment.
Sidewalks give people on the roads, which is a very strong positive. Perhaps your rank order and maybe it's not down the street to maybe your personal
birthday that we have a super safe town that we feel safe that our children are here. They they aren't able to safely walk among the entire town and I think that that's >> right. So, just for the council's recollection, last year we poured
$125,000 into pedestrian saving program. So, it's adorable and most of that is still there. So, >> we don't need we don't need to necessarily fund new do that. Um, so
there's a lot of things that we do guys is more and more prospects. I mean you got to start with that start with the basics and then >> yeah we do have the uniform design like stand that's with the travel editions
that I think it's the zebra keys whichever I forget they they changed the terminology before one of these spots like That's a problem. >> I think
pedestrian safety is pedestrian vehicle safety which has deer control to the >> Yeah. So that's >> nice to plot every day. You notice that most of the accidents are on the same street
road Clinton. It's all the same location for all the time. >> That's what I'm saying. Focus on those. Let's start there. Figure out from the police where we having the problems and let's focus on what makes those problems
dictate where and it goes to to Jamie's question allocated fund for this envelope of concern. and you want to go to the police and
say, "Hey, we've teased out an AI of all of your daily reports. Where are the accident? Can we in fact like pay someone like if the chief says well hey man
what I'm talking about is some capital so you have to put in your operation. >> So it would be an additional tax to that. Yes. >> That being said, I think that when we meet with Chief Budget uh concerned, we ask him what would it take in order to
do that proactively where the problems are. Can you tell us where they are? actively the person coming and saying it's my screen that I need to go see this on my
screen versus like we have data to show us where the act community and say we are responding to the accidents that are happening in town this is what we're doing about them that's important that we speak as we
think through what we're dealing I love that. >> Okay. >> So, communication, >> fear in control, >> it is it is and arguably one of your top safety issues. Was that control? I'm
astounded that we don't want it's a matter of time before accident. We have to spend money. Marcus suggested that the mayors could discuss what he had together and having conversations around I saw this as a countywide issue. We should be participating in that. I am
not an advocate for one of our local towns recently. Uh I don't know what the solution is but I know again that there are people that are immediately smarter than I am that we can employ to investigate this. And to Jamie's point they get data driven snapshot on what
the population is where it is and how you can intentionally control it. We need that because I will tell you I remember the first time I ever saw a deer in this town. I was 18 years old and I was stunned. It was a remarkable event. Holy crap. I just saw a deer and
now I know a dead on the way home. No one's >> what we're all having to >> go. All right. Next we're going to focus uh basically all
Fatheration. All right. So with new recreation we run a gamut from the musical complex library to the east hill playgrounds to street park areas additional improvements with bathrooms to more usable fields
um center recommendations general topic you can tell me about that $700 $1 an hour. $700 and now would you like to start the
conversation? There you go. >> I got a demonstrating for the budget. Exactly. Basically, they're made out of, you know, waterproof material like this, walls,
ceiling, and then when they sell clean, you know, water basically sprays and then drains out. There used to be a lot of death happening in France with that. >> Yes, because people would stay in the bathroom during something.
>> So to try to >> Oh, so I like I'm just going to say Mark and I'm very curious what you want. I'm very curious about what >> we have. Okay. So, one of So, so I think
an important part of people can join our part is the ability to stay more they want and we have people coming from view page. They have places that already
studied by uh I remember like high schools there would be like one of the staff open for us but I would say I'm not entirely sure that that's always happening. So maybe folks did with lean
maintaining the back end that we currently have. And then I was um I wrote about that grocery because grocery one organization
um ideas a bathroom. uh that for all the people throughout all the people there were rescued for the dogs for the gardening there were bathrooms uh that they had to be taken out to the event and then now
um I do think we're looking at capital crimes or kind of stuff I think that the thing that makes sense in that whole area is right into an ice cream uh for the cold um That
area only has bathrooms if you're a pool and that's it. So that's an area there. was a standalone going and he had just photos of the last surgery. Oh gosh. And
then we can take >> I think that's the question is that we have some already they're either not maintaining or they're not opening. >> I believe that Jamie controls the bathrooms electronically and opens them
for vents. But like the back of the league, you know, like the kids are playing and then they don't have a bathroom to go to while they're playing sports out there. That's been just like moving games. games like for a brand
that maybe we get from like be able to be able to get >> Yeah. I think that conflict I think that goes into the world category of of safety and
security of our parks bring all these money as an assets cameras. >> Yeah. But they're not at Walmart and they're still Facebook. We're going to have 20 minutes till
11:00 to again lay these all out, which should be where our merits are. And then we have a few is a little bit of prioritization in let's go to the tree which mostly still play around. We are
ready. So we put the RFP up and you had no responses. That was for a branded scenario that didn't really give much direction. Um, in reviewing that, there was some thought that we should really narrow it down to a specific site
just to see if we can get more of a interest or response for that. So, one of the categories or locations would be the east playground site um which is borrow a little does not tie into at least in the nature center and all that.
Um, and we can get that out on the street probably in the next couple of weeks. Is there interest in doing >> that. So, you know, like some of the neighbors over there do not want the end back on
right across the street from their home. Remember, their home is only just like a street away from that person. So they they don't symbolize the land. Um and
yes to me um there you can participate through the nature center coming out from the other side. >> So again we haven't even started right. So still agree to put into the
RFP put into the RP that they need to present with their RP a comprehensive um parking and uh traffic circulation. >> Yeah. Negotiations. So getting rid of
creation into our residential development. That is a mistake. Would those people pay 100,000 taxes for the use of enjoyment of their property? >> Next, what they understand to be preserved.
>> Again, this is a strategy notic. >> Well, I I think that before we go and invest a lot of time and effort, you have to understand that it's limited in terms of parking, traffic flow, um amount of people because the other side of these is neighborhoods. The neighbors
are are paying attention. Right. This is a million dollar item of a municipal complex, library, recreation center, separating it out, making it all one. >> Okay. >> If you mistake to put it on the
recommendation, then I think it would have come. Well, one of the questions that we have is that you have three things that you're trying to do under one something with the building itself, the library and recreation. Um, so the
recreation center, one of the concepts is to have it be a separate building, which is why I was friendly. Oh. >> Um, mayor, do you want do you want those concepts spread around or say it again? >> For the for the municipal complex those
concepts, do you want them painted out right now >> or do it another time? >> I don't know. Concepts right now. So, so as you know, we funded a a conceptual plan which uh should be done I would say probably by the end of
January that will give you two or three concepts to look at uh and to say yeah we want to develop this further. um if you were to make that go further than 2026 you probably would be uh putting into a
capital plan the design development designs what technical work they like >> yeah so technology that's helping But that's very what I call cartoon that
that cartoon. >> Yeah. The next level I think that these buildings we have to look at how buildings have
>> that is there. Um that's almost so then we have more usable fields and courts >> but more acquiring additional property and being
does it make sense to talk about or think about very easily. um that it's not usable for a lot of time, >> right? >> Okay. >> Sorry.
Okay. That's going really what I say. >> Oh, sheriff stewardship. >> So, I have this um I want to think about and maybe this is addition for the discussion. It's like we have natural resources here. We have a lot of natural resources. We have that
can be um activated as recreational space. When people are in those natural spaces as a sort of a recreation maybe it's passive recreation but then they are more interested in distorting that they become more familiar with what are we really
and we need the space right like we need more shared activating space so why aren't we looking at like the lawn or creeks or wherever it is you know Davis Johnson or where or church or whatever it is um how are we
utilizing that more effectively is then we coming in more of that um >> and again the education in the gallery like okay what exists in our town and
telling people about it all part of that marketing you talked about and then the utilities so I think that the other day Max came by talking about the senior walking trail around Roosevelt that really fits into
that. >> We got to get people into these places and care not just for playing that ability. We really do need new seating tables where I'm bringing people to the space
is a lot of new and I think you know one of the things seniors have done very well in many new places but then walking spaces for people to come in you know and when I first came on I said
there's no for me there's a lot of people there's a lot of They failed like their entrance to that.
All right. Okay. is public initiatives in public private partnerships leveraging our state capital uh elected resources um to build a congressman one
of our senior members live in town for the pool where there is before we hear we should discuss that I think it's >> well I think the issue there is is there's the point of investigating it and New investment power
in the winter. >> It's possible. It's possible. >> It's $700 an hour for people coming in. just asking about that
right now. >> Okay, good. >> One to make indoor space, >> right? >> It's about $50,000. >> Don't bubble. >> Well, bubble >> bubble that can come on and off. It's
not needed. >> Right. But it gives you like >> also preserves. >> Parts you can use on the year round. It's a good step. I'll give you a step.
Okay. >> So, I think we uh guys, I think we have these are my little stragglers with five plans, but I see five topics, major topics for us to uh look at. I think
what we need to do now is similar to I want to remind you in a second. I'm going to walk you guys through. I like what David recommended last year. We had a plan, right? All of these things are good except whenever Jenn all these things are good but obviously since we
have council then Roa here you know what do we have for and what are we going to do for next year what are we going to little keep it's important 3 years 6 years 10 years out so I think that's where uh we want to go uh next because
what we'll do next year is going to um decide on our budget where our funds go. >> Let me let me ask you. >> Yeah, we have agreed and invested money in some explorations.
>> Yes, that would be the first priority. Don't continue to invest in that. I think the only thing so before we start with the budget we have expenses in the rears we have things in momentum to really understand as part of our
ongoing priorities migrating across the entire company >> well the great news I don't think >> I think John is right but what are so what are just help us what are those things that we
>> mean that you're investing in Spanish, right? So, >> and all that and >> over the years, there's been studies before >> it also has to be when you talk about priorities, it has to be already fixed
priority. It's not a if it falls down and doesn't then it goes to the right. to throw something out related to feeding the two tennis courts. I would propose that we want to look at the price of lighting tennis
courts playing all the tennis courts pickle ball courts priority. >> So, so I would adjust a little bit. I would and again it's something that hopefully we could see. I would say let's start with the first uh we already
have semi lighting right on the the three or >> yeah but I I don't know if that's going to be as maybe we should upgrade >> so then maybe sorry let me try again I think we should talk about lighting the four see it overused and then move to
lighting or or flip the other way and since the pickle ball's on the side maybe light the three with the pickle ball overse see it used which is wonderful and then move to the other floor. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Investigated that and that could be paid for out of space funds. >> Do we have utilization in that wallet? >> They can I'll ask in your view or they
use it. Yes. Yeah. One game. Yes. It's probably not as robust as the tennis courts, but they use. So, David, do you want to kind of walk us through what we did last year
and doing similar type things for for this year? >> So, yes. Let's focus. We have one more hour. Next we uh put some money into study or to come up with concepts of any community rent center which we uh have underway.
Um the reef compost center I think we found some issues with that once a year can't use that space make it meaningful. Uh municipal complex sort of goes along in the community preparation center
the tennis courts are well away we have a new request down for sheep and walking camp and uh I have our staff basically marking out what's currently there. We basically have almost a half mile
as babies um with the what's there. So it's really disability. So it shouldn't be that much of a cost scenario. Walking in Here you can do here you can do my in
All right. >> One question 68 Chris we just dismissed at $500,000 to be heard. That's reasonably known. I'm willing to invest $3 million to remediate that property and I don't agree with what they said. We can do nothing with it. You can
always remediate something at a cost and a 6 acres. I believe >> you can't let six acres just go away because we've been told that it's in need of some you can always >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. That's that's a different discussion. Yeah. >> Um there's some big issues that um but doing that one of the things that came out of the big also is that you could potentially put a community somewhere there that would you know pay
down some electric cost. >> All right. So the hiring question would be fun. Uh we're going to build a little I think that'll become one of the top priorities to the 202 which I think everybody's surprised
a huge success you know getting it ready but then operatingly we haven't really selling our praises enough apparently that we could carve out time on Monday night or Saturday
recognizing the recreation of act and their efforts probably. >> Yeah. So that should be price. >> Yeah. So we do have price that is $32,000 on that redo the cost
move on the uh the And the tree replaced the trees. It's all dead trees. He owes us those trees. Now the second one would have succeeded. The ones that were planted on the facade
of those whole every last one of them dead, but I'll tell you. No, seriously. As far as I know cost us um up to the council basically the utility has
separate budget so in theory they should be raising their own capital but that's really a yesable decision >> but can we um encourage improvement on you know at the just these incredible playground companies the moment water
parks and character information that the pool is the pool is a pool utility but but the council was the boarding pool. >> Okay. >> So yeah you're this is not the pool committee some other organization the
council. All right. So, what I think we should spend some time on next, I'll just run through this quickly would be what year we want to try to get done and funded in 2026. Then we went to a freedom capital plan
um that would have taken 25 26 27 and that reported to these belt common little tennis courts. A lot of that actually was done in 25. >> Yeah. Um any uh audio visual upgrades to
the uh mini room and >> the CSS solutions are happening too. >> Yes. And then in your six-year plan, uh you look at finishing out the complex the CSX solutions which thanks to the
mayorsburg can probably move to 2026 right and then in your 10ear vision you have a fixed side park a solution for the compost facility maximizing the uses of the current
parks. Nature Center renegotiator renegotiation >> renegotiation uh robust engage in place community reimagine who's more complex again library
center buy downtown and then CSX for us CSX contract automatic appointment It's CSX advance to review. Um, two things attorney request
that initial term be significantly longer than one year but 10 years we're in concession. >> That's true. We are thank you for that and um CSX has agreed that those particular requests for the public
reasonable so that negotiations would be moving forward. Uh they also uh told us that um they're including the the area of light rail. They were including in the environmental impact
study that is now that they decided to light rail and they're they're putting in our um contracts up in the New York as part of that to get it done.
Okay. So, let's So, let's do this. And part of the reason why we had this multi-year plan is because we discussed last year. Let's make sure we align again. What we want is a spectrum of wins over the next year. We we don't
want a whole bunch of just home runs that are going to take 10 years to build. We want a bunch of singles next year that literally we see next year, doubles, triples, but equally like we're thinking about the municipal complex. We have to start it. We know we're not going to see the municipal complex next year, but if we don't start it this
year, last year. So I think that's what we have to lay out, which is what are those singles, doubles, and and stats. >> So let's start out with 2026, right? >> Yep. So I want you to
just >> Yes. But if I do on the street so let me let me put this in two separate sections. 20 2026 folks. Normally we do a temporary capital in February and a permanent capital regular
capital in May. this year because we've just canceled out $1.5 million in uh in projects. We're our plan is to introduce a capital ordinance on December 9th and have it adopted on December 22nd. So,
what we're looking for is to give priority right now to what you would want to see completed between January 1 and June 30. >> Yeah. And sorry, one more thing if I could say again, I think we've done a good job. We have five topic areas. I think we seem aligned. Please don't let
me put words in your mouth. Aligned as a team that these are the five buckets. My recommendation would be let's take a look, you know, for each phase. Let's get a couple wins on downtown, a couple wins on communications, a couple wins on
events, traffic safety, and recreation. the blockchain liquidity to trade at a triple level. Is this a time for us to be where we had long duration bonds? >> Well, we could, but there was going to be a job in where our bonds were. Wasn't
10 years or or less. >> So, initiate a chart of that and I think was circulated before I can circulate it again. I think they're planning a bond sale if not in 2026, 2027 and then another bond sale in 208 or
>> 20. So >> why don't we get vacation if you can do that? >> Yes. So I think sidewalks would be an early one. >> I think the amphitheater should be one.
>> Right. Let's look at this guys as we talk through this. That's true. >> Currently standing in the room. We just have to make sure. What do you want? >> Well, that's Oh, um I think another
early one should be we've invested all this money in the the tennis courts and everything. We should look at the safety loss cameras that an early one came. Yeah, >> that's the that's the
>> amphitheater, >> but it's not design yet. So, what I we still have $1.6 $6 million that we're trying to get from the vets. >> So, I would think that we should we need to design something in regular capital
as opposed to this. >> Yeah. one more. >> So >> the building of the I think that short >> it's short. It'll be done. >> Absolutely.
Two weeks. Um, >> maybe if we needed to build >> building project like singles. here.
>> River test. >> But this is all for short stuff. This is looking at the stuff that we have here. So the one thing that is missing is on the traffic.
So, he found out very early. >> Yeah. So, do we want to do some bathroom thing uh anymore? >> So, if you're going to try to get something done quick, probably these
prefab units that John came up with. We're going to look at I don't know the magnitude of cost. Okay. So, we want to look at pre units. >> Yeah. >> Bathrooms. This is all about rating by
>> the beginning of 2026 on this are we too aggressive. Storm water is going to be a function that is the singular I want to spend a dollar of our residents money on storm water because it is fundamentally something that we should be leveraging our federal and state uh partners. So if
only two of them lived in our town. >> So let's put to the aside not because it's less important because it should be the perfect example of better and state support.
>> Yes. So that's not your number one. >> We want to create a very large scale event. But yeah, that would that would be operating the theater.
>> Yeah, the theater amphitheater is the infrastructure the capex you need to put into the operating budget. Um for the tennis courts investigating >> again I think so let's for the dome
thing again like you use the exact words investigating that's not going to be done next year so we could look into it but we're not going to see a dome or basis. Yeah. pretty quick.
I know nothing about >> it'll be for next >> that's up there with like soul >> All right. >> So taking care of taking care of taking care of >> arts.
This is all ops. >> That's fine. The road >> again complex work will be done next year. >> Yeah. designs and we don't know
the old general >> we have we have $600,000 about 100% co-op money. Uh and then you also want PS and G pay. So are you looking to put more money to votes than >> I would put out there that because we CG
is going to pay so many of our votes this year >> this year being 2026 2026 not 2025 that we apply 600,000 we've already had to pay additional roads and then achieve
roads and then in 2011 we go back as God's philosophy then I assume negotiate. >> Yeah. And I don't know what we're doing today. >> I don't know what they're doing.
I got to tell them about what they're supposed to >> that's that's just an RFP. That's not again that's not that's not we don't need any capex. This only counts. >> Yeah. So, let's let's get from Jamie. I would just
>> see what >> I think because you talking to construction. They wanted >> Yes. that >> um that could be the goal for the second
half of 206. >> Okay. >> I think what could be done sooner would be is this pilot project. I think the council >> so her would be on here >> that's that would be the beginning of
the bike. Um, sorry. >> Oh, eight is a pond fountain of bites. John Rose, >> that's very important revenue. Assuming that we can't do anything else and some things I expect to investigate
secondary reservoir or the uh the wind of again both question revenue generating thing could that be something that for
you >> yeah my understanding why some of the big details is we put an arm RPO and the company comes in and does everything at their cost. >> So they're looking for so
that Yeah. So we went down there issue with you know the whole blue majors program really. like everywhere. You know what? >> You can't
plan. So guys, guys, close your eyes one second, but you can't close your eyes and knew what I'm about to say next. Please look at these two pages here. If you closed your eyes and we accomplished these two pages, one, would you be proud
of yourselves? And then two, is there something trickled that is not on one of these two pages that you get accomplished? Next, if you guys agree on this, we're going to then move to our favorite. >> Stop one second. Are you proud? He's
>> just that the number something something lights. >> And just for clarity, the lights we're talking about it is a town inventory of
light. We say this would be our lights. those things that parks first because you and I know how expensive that was. So like right here >> that
line starts with a stream by that and she need to give to one of his new cadets to ride around on the midnight ship and see where it is. It come it's it's like a actual physical structure. It cleans up parking
lot. It's recycling and it's garbage. They each business at a separate dumpster has been consolidated open parking and help the business >> um for the business district. >> Yes. That's great.
>> 100% >> and each business had its own dumpster and what we need. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, three years guys. So I assume the municipal complex is the
biggest. >> Yeah. >> Do you think that also the 10 year? Do you think three years? >> Wait one more. >> Sure. >> A what?
>> Like like a >> like water? >> Oh, I think you meant like a note. Like like That should be assuming we have >> Let's see. He wants me to do the second.
>> Okay. Okay. Three years. So David's challenge is you don't think we're need any funding for the next three years and >> well funding for designing >> I think at some point you put in a three-year plan then you're going to get
into really where the where the dollars are going to go. So the next thing would be what's the next step? Next step after you do design development would be putting a public that I graded.
make that >> fun. >> Yeah. like in the center of town. What is that? >> So, >> guys, what do you think? I'm hoping, you know, we've sent out to
bid and we're trying to work through this. We're hoping that the um post office space will become our new senior center. Let's recognize that if that doesn't happen,
>> we're going to have to find a new senior center. >> So, I don't know if we need to write that down here or then we can find a way to >> Yeah. in whether next year or three is the
idea of real money and targeting of our um communications because that was an entire >> No, it is but it's operating. We don't need infrastructure. >> Okay. too much. >> So the municipal complex is easier for
us at least clear in my head and sense that girlfriend we're doing it. So and and we know we have to be the ones that do it. So it's gonna the library is going to But see that that if you if you do the municipal complex or senior center
that's where we have to really impress your congress maybe you're selling me because that's where I tell the truth storm water like we absolutely need the same federal funds a library shame on all of us if our state
and uh and federal officials can't help us build a library. >> Clean up after building. They don't have the type of like baby shower or whatever. >> Is there any way to wash a trailer?
>> Yes. >> No, I have a solution to those trailers. This is the trailers. >> No, the uh the one >> the tea bag trailers. I don't think they ever got >> because
whatever that is. It's called speed bumps. It's that other thing that you were talking about. >> It's all done complete street. Um that's what they look at like they're doing all >> public safety public safety stuff. Uh
the bathrooms, the tea bag, the fire department, I'll have you know, has just put in a capital request for a $3.5 million expansion of the fire. truck. >> And they've been shower.
No, we have to look at that. >> She's the teac. We can do a much better job, guys. I know. I apologize. You came in late. The whole idea is you'll lay out all the plans on top go less. Talk about the new stuff fundamentally breaks. We did the
test. I don't know what that is. >> Okay guys, let's focus >> and particularly I apologize. Not only that, if you just told me he'd spend $100 million on stuff that they haven't used.
>> Yeah, we have to That's what >> conversation space number six >> so we laid out downtown improvements amphitheater improvements
animal This is funny. >> Guys, we got 30 minutes. I appreciate everyone's time. 30 minutes. Amphitheater, bathrooms. I think I saved all this. Sidewalks,
irrigation, and lighting. Um, is there anything I'll focus on the arts that we want to do either next year or the next three years? So we have an arts feature up there. This is an uptake of I think last year some towns like have these logos all
around town. We could build tires all around town decorated with We did everything we said we could do. We always do more. So, pedestrian circulation, traffic, we have that. Uh the community stuff, which is very, very
important, but that's OPEX. There's nothing we need to buy capex wise for community communications. There's events, very important. Nothing we have, that's all operating. Nothing we have to do from a capex perspective. Then you
move over to traffic safety. Biking and pedestrian safety safety is Yeah. Traffic enforcement. Is that Do we need to get the police any cameras? Any of that type of stuff that is going to help? Well, we gave you $125,000 last
year. >> 225,000. So, >> the chief elementary school pedestrian safety program. Is there anything? No, that was just the >> bringing that to
>> um and then the rumble strips is that you need capex for that or that would be complete. >> Okay, so that's fine. >> And then five recreation. Uh bathrooms we have there. Well, we put it in in 26 as well.
>> We should really be part of basketball should be if that's possible. >> I think that should be in three years. That's what I'm doing. >> Basketball and uh
>> what about investing in more uh recreational space like different plans? So I'll play the East Hill space that >> East Hill but also >> I think achieving
and creating pockets of excellence I agree with you is better but so far that we have that but I think that we have accomplished that in the 3 to 5 year period
cleaning up and pretty that means a huge deal and then something Um I think this
one year did you guys someone brought up like a splash pad or brown tiler whether it's in the >> but I think we definely talked about that over time. what it does. There's this wash. It should be closer over by
the pool area because it's not like you have a 3 month period of like high traffic for something like that. >> Or what about I think people spoke about it at like you know where the the boys the boy scouts do the Christmas trees they give out.
>> Yeah. by the host. >> Okay, guys, we're down to 15 minutes. >> We laid out a one-year plan in blue. Thank you, David. We laid out a three-year plan in red. It kills me that
you guys didn't use >> that's not what the team said is the priority for >> I don't know I mean this is the first I'm hearing from >> museum museum physical But
>> right, let's look on the soft side. Okay. Um, anything else? David and Susan, from a financial standpoint, oh my goodness, this is not nearly enough. You're going to go to Vegas on your own. This is way too much. You can't afford
any of this. 22.6 guys. I think we're done, guys. Good. This feels good. As a quick recap, we spoke about what was working as opportunities to work in the future.
>> I think yes. >> Yeah. Um I will highlight just highlight for a couple things, guys. 5 minutes left. I'm really proud. Not good, not bad. If you look at what we did for a one year, three year, it's very
consistent. >> Yeah. >> Which is a good thing. Why? Because you want to just keep knocking things out and delivering for our residents. It's not about all over. If it was all over the place every year, >> we have opportunities for groups. >> Look at it. for that full 20 year we
keep getting reminded and we don't find out what work absolutely and I think it's good if we could ask the mayor in his state of the borrow address consistency on what we accomplished across these goals and what we're going to do for the year ahead >> okay
>> it's just anything else >> this may close all right motion anybody else comments capital and strategic planning. I just feel like a major storm of what
comes out is operational and I'm not sure where the space is going to be for us the council and the mayor to ensure that operationally some of the things are followed up. So
actually as well as further away from John be happy for one minute from an operations perspective if we could lay out our time priorities such that David could go back to his team and make sure
at the very beginning of the evening David said we had two parttime enforcement officers. I hear him. I've heard correct. I think an additional code officer seems to be something that
comes up. Great. event. I heard many times at the table a communication um person of some sort whether that's a person to you know manager group respond to email
whatever a part but that's not >> I I won't say I don't know if this is all the same We talk about the education of whether it be trees, the the wildlife uh there,
you know, this issue of, you know, deer, fox, coyotes, things that have come up in education. We don't have a person like um who's an educator who maybe can say, you know, here's a web uh page
within the town website that you go for all your resources about wildlife. This is where you go for, you know, what we're doing on um on our next projects. And you just it just seems like an
educator person, you know, is this a mutable like PR like >> and then and then maybe also to design the pages that come from like oh everyone's talking about let me get some resources out there
who is like updating on the community, uh, taking surveys, um, filling in the meeting. >> That's it. That's communication. That's important. >> So, that's the ability to be so much more
functional for residents. And that's what J said, but I'm talkingational. >> Yeah. And then I think that education >> guys guys safety and to John's point about if we
don't have people um writing tickets then that's not just a code of course not talking about specific >> policing policing in public they have pulled back
they need to be more frustrated >> totally >> um that's operation >> and that that's all >> John anything else from perspective more flowers. >> I want to ask one thing.
