[5. Approve Minutes]
MAY NEED TO START OFF, WE HAVE THE MINUTES FROM OCTOBER AS WELL AS JANUARY THAT NEED TO BE APPROVED.UM, I THINK WE SENT THESE BACK OUT.
THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS ON THE OCTOBER ONES THAT MR. STEWART HAD AT THE JANUARY MEETING, AND SO WE DIDN'T APPROVE THE OCTOBER ONES, AND THEN WE HAVEN'T MET SINCE THE JANUARY ONES FOR APPROVAL OF THOSE.
HAS EVERYBODY HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW 'EM PRIOR TO TODAY? IF YOU NEED A COPY.
I THINK GINGER HAD GIVEN OUT SOME GOOD AFTERNOON.
WHAT'S UP MAN? HOW YOU DOING? WHAT'S GOING ON, BRO? HOW YOU DOING? HOW MINUTES? YEAH, WE'RE REVIEWING THE MINUTES FOR APPROVAL.
HAVE YOU GOTTEN NINE? NINE? I'M GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU? ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE MINUTES FOR THE BOARD? I HAVE ONE QUESTION.
PERTAIN, I WAS GONNA MEET REGULARLY ONCE SOME MONTH.
WE HAD JANUARY, UM, AND THEN FEBRUARY, I SCHEDULED IT MARCH 2ND BECAUSE I WAS OUTTA TOWN AND WE DIDN'T HAVE A QUORUM ON MARCH 2ND.
IF WE MEET ONCE A MONTH, THERE MIGHT BE SOME NECESSARY TIMES THAT WE MIGHT BE SOME TIME SOMETIME
[00:05:01]
EARLIER.WE MIGHT, MIGHT HAVE TWO MEETINGS THAT MONTH.
SO FOR INSTANCE, WE HAVE A MEETING NOW AND THEN WHEN NEXT MONTH COME IN, WE, WE DON'T HAVE A SET DATE.
WE GOT A SET DATE WHERE WE SUPPOSED TO HAVE OUR NORMAL MEETING MEETING ALL WELL, THIRD AND SOMETHING ELSE MAY COME UP, BUT WE MAY HAVE CALL, CALL, MEETING, MEETING THAT BE TWO MEETING THAT WE NEED.
THERE'S NOTHING TO STOP US FROM HAVING THAT, ESPECIALLY CALL ME.
NO, WE, I MEAN, IF THERE'S A REASON TO MEET AND THERE'S A REQUEST FOR IT, I JUST WANTED TO HAVE IT MORE REGULAR AND THAT WE MAY ALLOW, ATTEND SOME OF THE DATE WE MAY HAVE.
WELL, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD, AS LONG AS WE HAD A QUM, YOU KNOW, WE COULD HAVE IT IF WE DON'T HAVE A QUM AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THE REST THE BOARD FEELS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, IF WE WITHOUT A QUORUM, IT'S NOT DUE.
WE HAVE HAVE ONE TONIGHT, BUT I'M SAYING IF WE DID TWO A MONTH, YOU KNOW, UNLESS IT WAS ONE A MONTH AND THEN THE NEED FOR A SPECIAL CALL.
BUT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE BOARD IF THEY NECESSARILY THINK WE NEED TO HAVE TWO A MONTH STANDING.
WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S CAREFUL BREATH OF WHAT'S GOING ON AND NOTHING FALL BACK.
AND WE HAD TO WAIT ANOTHER MONTH, TRY TO GET IT DONE, AND THE PERSON FATHER TALK ABOUT IT A LITTLE MORE.
MAY NOT EVEN BE HERE THAT MORNING.
UM, DID WE HAVE, WELL, MS. WARREN, IF I'M BEING ORDERED, I'LL MOVE THAT.
THE JANUARY MINUTES BE APPROVED.
DO WE HAVE A APPROVAL? ONE SECOND.
DO YOU HAVE ANY, IF, IF Y'ALL ANY, ANYBODY REPORT THAT? DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY CHANGES TO THE JANUARY MEETINGS MEETING, MEETING MINUTES? EXCUSE ME.
GINGER, CAN YOU JUST DO A ROLL CALLER, MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING APPROVAL.
MR. LAND MORGAN, DO YOU HAVE ANY CHANGES? ANY CHANGES TO THE MINUTES? NO.
THIS IS SWAT WHEEL VOTING ON NO CHANGES TO THE MAIN.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CHANGES YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE? NO, I HAVEN'T.
ANY CHANGES? I THOUGHT WE WOULD JUST GO AHEAD, UH, GO AHEAD AND APPROVE CAUSE I SAID WE NECESSARY CHANGE IF ANYBODY WITH ANYTHING.
MR. PINDER, DO YOU HAVE ANY CHANGES YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE? NO.
MR. BROWN, DO YOU HAVE ANY CHANGES YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE? NO.
UH, ALDERMAN ROYAL, DO YOU HAVE ANY CHANGES? NO.
SO THEY APPROVED ON THE JANUARY MINUTES, AND WE'LL HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT OCTOBER MINUTES AS WELL.
DOES ANYBODY NEED TO SEE THOSE? OKAY.
I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE OCTOBER MINUTES.
WELL, WE PASSED 'EM OUT BEFORE AND THEY'VE BEEN EMAILED, BUT AS FAR AS PAPER COPY, THERE'S A PAPER COPY IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT.
I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE, THE MINUTES FROM THE, WAS THAT OCTOBER? OCTOBER 4TH OCTOBER MEETING? YES.
[6. Design Plans and Schedule]
ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S GET DOWN TO DESIGN PLANS AND SCHEDULE.UM, I THINK EVERYBODY HAS A HANDOUT OF DE DESIGN PLAN.
UM, MS. GINGER, DO YOU HAVE THESE, THE DESIGN PLAN? I PASSED THEM OUT AND I'M OUT OF COPIES AT THIS, BUT OKAY.
SO THESE ARE THE PLANS THAT WERE, UM, PRESENTED AT THE FEBRUARY 14TH MEETING TO THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN.
UM, THESE ARE THE, THE FINAL, UH, DESIGN PLANS IF WE WANNA LOOK THROUGH 'EM.
UM, I KNOW WE'VE HAD THESE UP ONLINE AND THEN THEY'VE BEEN DISCUSSED AT THE BOARD MEETING OR REVIEWED AT THE BOARD MEETING ON FEBRUARY 14TH.
BUT IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT PLANS OR, UM, NEED SOME
[00:10:01]
CLARIFICATION ON ANYTHING, I'LL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.HAVING THESE PLANS BEEN APPROVED BY THE, UH, ON THE 14TH, WASN'T THEY APPROVED BY THE BOARD OFFICE? YEAH.
SO WE CAN'T MAKE ANY CHANGES OR ANYTHING TO 'EM.
THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED.
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT LIKE, IF THERE WAS ANYTHING YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ON IT OR, UM, I ASK WHY THESE PLANS DIDN'T COME BEFORE US BEFORE THEY WENT TO THE BORDER HONOR, BUT I NEVER GOT AN ANSWER ON THAT.
SHOULD HAVE, MAY I SPEAK TO THAT? YES, MA'AM.
I ASKED THE QUESTION WHEN THEY WERE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN ON FEBRUARY 14TH, I WAS TOLD BY THE CITY MANAGER THAT THE COMMITTEE COULD NOT GET TOGETHER AND DECIDE ON THE PLAN.
AND SO THE CITY MOVE FORWARD, BUT THAT YOU HAD ACCESS TO THE PLANS, THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE HAD ACCESS TO THE PLANS TO REVIEW THEM IF THEY CHOSE TO.
WELL, I, I LISTENED TO THE MEETING ONLINE AND I HEARD THE ANSWERS COMING FROM THE CITY MANAGER SAID THAT THE PLANS THAT CAME TO US IN JAN IN JUNE OF 22, AND, UM, I COULD BE MISTAKEN, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THESE PLANS COMING BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE IN JUNE OF 22, WHERE THE ENTIRE BOARD REJECTED THE PLANS.
OR AGAIN, YOU MADE THE STATEMENT, SO I ASKED THE RIGHT.
ONE OF THE MEMBERS WANTED TO RIGHT.
THEY DID NOT GET TO REVIEW THE PLANS.
AND I, I HEARD THE ANSWER FROM THE CITY MANAGER SAYING THAT, SIR, WE COULDN'T COME TO A CONSISTENCY ON THE PLAN.
NOW, EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN TOLD, IF YOU LOOK IN THE PAST MINUTES, EVERYTHING WAS STILL WAITING ON CP AND L.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THE PLANS, AND I'M NOT, IT'S WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE NOW BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN APPROVED, BUT I CAN TELL YOU WE DIDN'T SEE THE PLANS.
I BELIEVE WHEN THE CITY MANAGER SAID THAT HE WAS SPEAKING TO, UM, NOT 2022, I THINK HE WAS SPEAKING TO THE PLAN THAT WAS REVIEWED BEFORE THE LIKE FINAL DESIGN PLAN, LIKE BACK IN 21 MAYBE.
WELL, HE SAID JUNE OF 22 THAT THE PLANS CAME BEFORE THIS BOARD AND WE COULD NOT COME TO A CONSENSUS.
I MEAN, I, IF I'M NOT HERE, I'M LISTENING, I'M WATCHING THE, THE MEETING AT MY HOUSE.
BUT IT, LIKE I SAID, IT'S WATER UNDER BRIDGE.
THE CITY HAS APPROVED THESE MINUTES.
I MEAN THESE, THIS, THIS DESIGNED FROM CP AND M.
[7. Bidding]
THE LAST THING I READ IS THAT THE BID HAS BEEN OUT, RIGHT? YES, SIR.UM, THE BID WENT OUT LAST WEEK.
IT WAS ADVERTISED, UH, IN THE SUN JOURNAL.
IT WAS SENT OUT TO SEVERAL OTHER, UM, THROUGH SEVERAL OTHER AVENUES TO REACH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.
UM, THE LINK TO ACCESS THAT IS ON THE WEBSITE.
I THINK I SENT IT TO EVERYBODY ON THE BOARD.
UM, IF YOU WANT TO SHARE IT WITH ANYONE, IF ANYONE PARTICULAR, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS EMAIL 'EM THE LINK OR IF YOU WANT US TO EMAIL THE INFORMATION DIRECTLY, GIVE US THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS AND WE'RE MORE THAN WELCOME.
I MEAN, MORE THAN GLAD TO DO THAT.
UM, BUT IT IS OPEN AND IT WILL, WE WILL HAVE A PRE-BID MEETING.
UM, AND THEN IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, WE WILL ENTERTAIN QUESTIONS.
THEY'LL SEND OUT AN ADDENDUM TO THE BID.
AND THEN THE BID OPENING DATE IS, UM, APRIL 25TH.
SO THERE'S INSTRUCTIONS ON THE WEBSITE THAT TELLS HOW TO SUBMIT BID, HOW TO ACCESS THE DOCUMENTS, UH, GET DOCUMENTS FROM C P, UM, AND UM, IF YOU NEED ANY ASSISTANCE OR IF THEY NEED ASSISTANCE, THEY CAN REACH OUT TO US AND WE'LL HELP 'EM.
I CAN GIVE 'EM, UH, CONTACT WITH THE PURCHASING OFFICER FOR THE CITY WHO HANDLES ALL THE BIDS AND SHE IS GREAT.
SHE'LL BE GLAD TO HELP WITH ANYTHING THEY NEED.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BID IN PROCESS?
[8. Programming]
SO BASICALLY WE NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT PROGRAMMING NOW.AND THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT TO GET SOME COMMUNITY PUBLIC INPUT AS TO WHAT
[00:15:01]
THEY NEED, WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE, UH, IN THIS RECREATION CENTER.AND THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN DO THAT.
WE CAN, UH, HAVE INPUT MEETINGS, WE CAN DO SURVEYS, UM, WHETHER THAT'S ONLINE SURVEYS, DOOR TO DOOR SURVEYS, UM, WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO GET THAT INFORMATION.
UM, BECAUSE AS FAR AS PROGRAMMING THE CENTER, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY WANT AND NEED.
WELL, ARE YOU AWARE THAT THERE'S A TOWN HALL MEETING ON THE 25TH OF THIS MONTH WITH THE CITY MANAGER, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, THE MAYOR, THE CHIEF, FIRE CHIEF, AND THE SHERIFF.
AND THEY'RE GOING TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AROUND THE CITY.
I HADN'T HEARD LIKE THE DATES OF IT CAUSE I'M NOT INVOLVED IN IT, BUT I KNOW THEY DO DO, THAT MAY BE A GOOD TIME TO PUT OUT FILLERS, UM, TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF PROGRAMMING THAT THEY'RE, THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SEEING AT STANLEY WHITE, BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE YOUR HEADS THERE.
I'M SURPRISED THAT YOU'RE NOT A PART OF THAT, BUT, UM, YEAH, THAT'S THE 25TH.
IT STARTS AT NINE 15, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, AT PIR.
THEY'RE GONNA BE AT PIR FOR AN HOUR, THEN THEY'RE COMING TO TRINITY, MY CHURCH FOR AN HOUR.
I'LL, I'VE PUSHED IT OUT ELECTRONICALLY.
MATTER OF FACT, WHAT'S THE DATE YOU SAID? 25TH? THE 25TH.
IT SHOULD BE THIS SATURDAY, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
MAYBE WE COULD GET SOME QUICK, LIKE PAPER SURVEYS OR EVEN A LINK TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, TO GATHER INFORMATION.
UM, IT'S, UH, MOBILE TOWN HALL 3 25 23.
UH, LOCATION IS PELLETIER TRINITY CHAPEL DESIGN CHURCH, ELITE BARBERSHOP, WORD OF GOD.
CAN YOU SHARE THAT WITH THE YES.
COMMITTEE? DO YOU MIND EMAILING IT? I DON'T MIND.
UM, ARE THERE ANY OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS OR SUGGESTIONS ON, UM, US GATHERING INFORMATION? UM, OTHER THAN THE TRADITIONAL SURVEYS AND THINGS LIKE THAT? UM, I KNOW WE HAVE DONE IT WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME IN AND JUST IDENTIFY DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES BY PUTTING A STICKER ON IF THEY WANT TO JUST WRITE SOMETHING ON A, UM, FLIP CHART, YOU KNOW, IF THINGS THEY WANT TO SEE.
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS FOR US TO GATHER THE INFORMATION.
WE JUST GOT TO PUT IT IN MOTION.
UM, SO, UM, OPEN TO ANY SUGGESTIONS, IDEAS, UM, HAVE WE COME UP WITH, UH, UM, SOMETHING ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET THE CHILDREN IN THAT AREA TO, TO ACCESS CARDS TO THE GYM OR ATTACK? WELL, I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THAT AND YOU KNOW, THE REASON THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE A GUARDIAN OR SOMEONE THAT'S 18 SIGNS BECAUSE OF LIABILITY WAIVERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING WE COULD DO THESE POPUP LIKE, UH, SIGNUP EVENTS WHERE IN THE COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, WHERE PEOPLE COULD ACCESS IT EASILY IF THEY WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, WALK UP AND SIGN, GO AHEAD AND SIGN UP AND ISSUE 'EM A CARD.
UM, OTHER THAN GOING DOOR TO DOOR, I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER WAYS TO DO IT.
OR IF WE HAD IT LIKE AT A CHURCH OR SOMEWHERE LOCAL THAT PEOPLE COULD COME IN EASILY, YOU KNOW? BUT JUST HAVE MY STAFF THERE.
WE COULD DO A SIGNUP RIGHT THERE.
THEY GO AHEAD AND TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.
UM, I MEAN THAT'S, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY IDEAS OF WAYS WE COULD REACH AND MAKE SURE THAT THE KIDS GET THE CARDS AND ACCESS TO THE CENTER.
KURT, EXCUSE ME, CURTIS, UH, THE COLLEGE STILL MEETING, UM, AT YOUR PLACE ONE MORE TIME.
THE STILL DOING? YEAH, THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD, GOOD PLACE TO DO.
CAUSE YOU HAVE KIDS COMING THERE TO GET YOU HAIRCUTS OR WHATEVER EVENT THEY HAVE HERE.
SO, AND YOU THINK FROM A THIRD
[00:20:01]
SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH? THIRD SATURDAY EACH MONTH.THE BARBER SHOPS WILL PROBABLY BE A GREAT RESOURCE IF WE COULD, UM, GET THE BARBERS ON BOARD TO HELP US SIGN KIDS UP FOR THAT.
MY ONLY QUESTION WOULD BE IS, DOESN'T THAT SEEM A LITTLE PREMATURE THAT THE TECHNOLOGY ALREADY SET UP FOR THAT FOR THE ACCESS CARD? YEAH, WE HAVE THAT ALREADY IN PLACE.
SO THE, SO THE, THEY'RE CALLED REC CARD.
AND SO WHAT'S THE PROJECTIVE TIMELINE FOR THE, UH, STANDING RIGHT TO BE? UM, THE PROJECTION IS 15 MONTHS ONCE GROUNDS BREAK BROKEN.
SO YOU'RE IN, SO WE'RE IN AGREEANCE THAT WE WILL DO THE ACCESS CARD.
YOU GUYS ARE ALREADY PUT THAT YEAH, WE ALREADY HAVE THE SYSTEM IN PLACE.
WE HAVE THE CARDS, WE HAVE THE SCANNING MACHINES AND STUFF.
SO IF YOU WOULD START GATHERING THOSE MAIN, DID YOU START EXHIBITING THOSE NOW OR WOULD YOU JUST BE GATHERING NAMES? YEAH, WE COULD, WE COULD GO AHEAD AND ISSUE 'EM.
UM, BECAUSE THE CARD, YOU KNOW, IT'LL HAVE THEIR NUMBER ON AND IT'S LIKE A, UM, BARCODE AND YOU KNOW, IF THEY WANTED TO USE IT RIGHT NOW, THEY COULD AT WEST NEWBURN, YOU KNOW, BUT IF NOT, IT WILL TRANSFER OVER TO STANLEY WHITE ONCE IT OPENS.
DOES IT HAVE TO BE ONE OF YOUR STAFF MEMBERS OR WHO AUTHORIZES THESE, UM, THESE APPLICATIONS? OR WOULD I BE ABLE TO TAKE 10 APPLICATIONS TO MY CHURCH TO YOU SUNDAY AND BE ABLE TO HAVE THEM FILLED OUT AND RETURN THEM BACK TO YOU? UM, WELL THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS NO, ONCE WE GOT THE APPLICATION, WE WOULD HAVE TO ISSUE THEIR CARD AND WE USUALLY TAKE A PICTURE OF 'EM SO WE KNOW WHO IS WITH WHAT CARD.
SO THE STAFF WOULD HAVE TO BE ON SITE YEAH.
TO PUT 'EM IN THE COMPUTER AND TAKE PICTURES.
HOW FAR WERE CRA COUNTY SCHOOLS TO HAVE ADMINISTRATORS, LIKE HAVE A CARD APPLICATION DESK AND THEN PUT IT IN EACH JAR SO THAT KIDS KNOW THAT THEY CAN GO TO THEIR MAIN OFFICE TO FILL OUT AN APPLICATION AND GET
UM, WE HAD, WE HAD EXPLORED THAT BEFORE AND IT JUST WAS NOT, UM, VIABLE FOR WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO.
LIKE YOU COULD ONLY PUT OUT SO MANY FLYERS, YOU KNOW, A MONTH.
IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT YOU WERE GETTING.
SO TAKE AN APPLICATION FOR THE SCHOOLS THERE IN CASE KIDS WANNA GO TO THEIR MAIN OFFICE AND SIGN UP.
AND THEN MAYBE HAVING THEM SEND THEM BACK TO US OR SOMEBODY GO AROUND AND COLLECT THEM FROM THE SCHOOLS EVERY SO OFTEN.
YEAH, WE COULD TRY TO DO THAT.
WE COULD CONTACT THEM AND SEE, UM, I JUST KNOW IN THE PAST THEY HAVEN'T BEEN INCLINED TO LET US DO REGISTRATION STUFF THROUGH THE SCHOOL, BUT ONCE AGAIN, YOUR STAFF WOULD HAVE TO GO.
AND AND THEY WOULD'VE TO FOLLOW UP, DOUBLE UP AND GO BACK, MAKE SURE THEY CONTACTED THOSE CHILDREN TO TAKE THE PICTURE BEFORE IT COULD BE ISSUED ANYWAY.
YEAH, THAT'S WHY I WAS SAYING LIKE, IF WE COULD SET UP SOMEWHERE, LIKE ON A SATURDAY AND ANYBODY THAT WANTED TO COME THROUGH AND, YOU KNOW, STAFF'S THERE TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE THEIR PAPER, TAKE THEIR PICTURE, ISSUE THEIR CARD, AND THEN IT'S, YOU KNOW, DONE IN ONE SWOOP.
UM, BECAUSE IF IT'S GONNA BE HARD TO DO IT, LIKE YOU'RE SAYING, IF WE TAKE 'EM SOMEWHERE, GET 'EM FILLED OUT, BRING THEM BACK, IT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF EXTRA STEPS.
UM, IF WE HAVE TO DO IT THAT WAY, WE CAN.
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THE EFFICIENCY AND BEING ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, ONCE WE SIGN SOMEBODY UP, KNOWING THAT THEY'RE IN THE SYSTEM, THEY'VE GOT THEIR CARD.
SO CAN WE JUST MAYBE, UH, START SENDING YOU A COUPLE LOCATIONS AND DATES THAT LET THEM WORK OR MM-HMM.
YEAH, WE WOULD JUST NEED TO IDENTIFY SOME LOCATIONS DATE TIME.
WE WOULD NEED TO ADVERTISE IT SO THAT PEOPLE KNEW THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE SET UP THERE IF THEY WERE INTERESTED IN, UH, GETTING SIGNED UP TO HAVE A REC CARD SO THEY CAN ACCESS THE, UM, RECREATION CENTERS FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATIONS.
WELL, I MEAN, IT'S NOT, IT'S KIND OF MANDATORY, RIGHT? YEAH.
THEY, OKAY, SO THEY GOT'S SOMETHING.
IF THEY WANT TO USE THE CENTER, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET A CAR.
SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE EXPRESSED, THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S NOT, YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
IF YOU WANT TO USE THE CENTER, YOU HAVE TO HAVE DISCARD.
SO THAT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE KIND OF PUT OUT THERE TOO, I BELIEVE.
AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S, WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT SYSTEM IN PLACE TOO LONG.
IT'S JUST BEEN A FEW YEARS THAT WE'VE HAD, WE STARTED THAT SYSTEM WHERE WE ACTUALLY HAD
[00:25:01]
THE CARDS AND THE SCANNERS AND EVERYTHING.UM, AND IT'S WORKED OUT WELL CAUSE IT HELPS US TRACK, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING IN AND JUST KEEPS GOOD DATA FOR US.
UH, AND ALSO IF SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN, YOU KNOW.
NOW DO YOU USE THAT SYSTEM AT THE POOL ALSO? NO, WE DON'T USE THAT BECAUSE THAT'S A ONE TIME PAY.
THE ONLY WAY WE WOULD USE IT IS IF IT, THEY HAD LIKE A SEASON PASS.
SO HOW MANY DIFFERENT SESSIONS ARE YOU ESTIMATING HAVING? BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO, TO GIVE EVERYBODY A CHANCE TO BE ON EVERYBODY'S SCHEDULE.
UH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE NUMEROUS SESSIONS TO WHERE WE'LL BE SIGNING UP.
SO I THINK THAT WE SHOULD START TO CREATE A CALENDAR, A SCHEDULE OF EVENTS THAT WE CAN BE PRESENT OR SO THAT YOUR STAFF CAN BE PRESENT.
AND MAKE SURE THAT WE DO GET THE ADVERTISING OUT AND TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS PASS WILL BE MANDATORY FOR YOU TO GAIN ACCESS INTO THE STANLEY WHITE RECREATION CENTER.
WE CAN SET UP SOME STUFF AND EVEN LIKE SOME OF OUR EVENTS WE HAVE THAT ARE LIKE GEARED TOWARDS CHILDREN, WE CAN HAVE A TABLE SET UP AT THOSE EVENTS.
UM, BUT I THINK IT IS CRUCIAL TO UM, PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE COMMUNITY SO THEY CAN EASILY GET TO, YOU KNOW, I DON'T, I WANT TO SET UP IN PLACES THAT WE KNOW THEY CAN ACCESS.
IT NEEDS TO BE IN THAT, IN THE COMMUNITY THAT'S, THAT'S GONNA SERVE STANLEY WHITE.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S UM, MAYBE THE OMEGA CENTER, MY CHURCH MAYBE, UM, AUBURN ROSE CHURCH, YOU KNOW, KNOW I'M THINKING, UH, CRA TERRIS, YES.
CAUSE I KNOW THEY HAVE A NEWSLETTER SO THEY COULD THAT THAT'LL SAVE PAPERWORK FOR YOU.
THEY, THEY HAVE SESSIONS, UH, WHERE THEY MEET, UH MM-HMM.
UM, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT TRAN COURT CAUSE ITS CENTER MESSED UP, BUT STILL THEY NEED TO KNOW TOO.
CAUSE A LOT OF THAT TRAFFIC IS GONNA BE COMING, YOU KNOW, FROM THOSE TWO AREAS.
AND MAYBE THE RESIDENCE COUNCIL, UH, BECAUSE THEY DEAL WITH THE
AND EVEN LIKE AT AND, AND ALSO HERD RESOURCE, UH, CENTER THERE ALSO.
AND EVEN LIKE HENDERSON PARK, LIKE WE COULD DO A, YOU KNOW, SET UP A PLAY DAY OR SOMETHING SPORTS PLAY AND HAVE PEOPLE COME IN, YOU KNOW, IN THE PARK.
UM, SO THERE'S, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF OPTIONS OF THINGS WE CAN DO.
I THINK ALSO THAT WE NEED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE TIMEFRAME.
IF YOU WERE SAYING AFTER, UM, WE BREAK GROUND AND THEN A PROJECTED AT LEAST 15 MONTHS, WE'RE LOOKING AT ALMOST TWO YEARS WITH CHILDREN WITH CARDS.
I'M THINKING IN MY MIND, LOSING 'EM.
WHO WILL KNOW WHERE THAT CARD IS? IT MIGHT, IS TOO EARLY.
IT MIGHT SERVE US BEST TO, IF WE WANT TO PROJECT SIX MONTHS OUT MM-HMM.
I, I CAN'T SEE A CHILD KEEPING A CAR.
AND ANOTHER THING I HAD THOUGHT ABOUT AND FOR THIS REASON IS, YOU KNOW, WHAT IF WE, YOU KNOW HOW THEY USED TO HAVE BOOKS WHERE YOU KEEP LIKE, UM, BASEBALL CARDS AND STUFF IN LIKE IF WE HAVE BOOKS LIKE THAT, THAT WE KEPT THEIR CARD AND WHEN THEY CAME IN AND TOLD US WHO THEY WERE, WE COULD SCAN IT.
AND THAT WAY WE KNOW THEIR CARD DOESN'T GET LOST.
YOU KNOW, OF COURSE WE'D ONLY BE ABLE TO KEEP IT IN ONE LOCATION.
BUT, UM, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT HAD CROSSED MY MIND TO PREVENT KIDS FROM LOSING IT.
SO WHAT WOULD BE WRONG WITH LOGGING IN ALL OF THE INFORMATION AND JUST WAITING UNTIL CLOSER TO THE DATE THAT THE CENTER OPENS AND THEN ISSUE 'EM OUT.
BUT, BUT WE'RE STILL CON CONSISTENTLY LOGGING IN, STILL REGISTERING THEM JUST NOT ISSUING THE ACTUAL CARD.
AND AS PART OF THE GRAND OPENING OR A WEEK PRIOR TO THE GRAND OPENING PASS OUT THEIR CARDS, WE ISSUE OUT THE CARDS.
THAT WAY WHEN THE GRAND OPENING COMES, THOSE WITH CARDS CAN, IS CAN ACCESS.
BUT WE DID THE DUE DILIGENCE TO GET THE COMMUNITIES REGISTERED.
MY THING IS THE ACCESSIBILITY, RIGHT.
GETTING THEM SET UP TO GET IT.
WHATEVER IT'S GONNA TAKE FOR US TO DO THAT.
THAT'S WHERE I'M AT NOW BECAUSE YOU KNOW, SOON AS THE BREAK GROUND START BREAKING, I MEAN YEAH, WE SAYING 15 TO 18 MONTHS, BUT THAT TIME, THAT TIME IS GONNA GO FAST AND WE NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING IN PLACE TO HAVE THIS TO WHERE WE'RE NOT BEHIND A EIGHT BALL TRYING TO FIGURE
[00:30:01]
OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO GET THOSE KIDS.I MEAN, CUZ YOU GOTTA LOOK AT IT.
SO YOU TALKING ABOUT MIDDLE OF 25.
SO YOU TALKING ABOUT EIGHT AND SIX YEARS.
THAT COMMUNITY, YOU TALKING ABOUT A GENERATION OF KIDS WHO'S GROWN UP WITHOUT A REPARATION FACILITY? YES SIR.
AND THAT'S, I MEAN THAT'S WHERE I'M AT WITH THIS.
AND YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE SEVEN YEAR OLDS.
THAT'LL BE NINE AND 10 THEN, BUT THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANYTHING THAT'S GONNA BE MORE HEARTBREAKING THAN FOUR OF THE KIDS.
IF YOU HAVE A GROUP OF FIVE GOOD FRIENDS, FOUR OF THEM ARE REGISTERED, ONE IS NOT, AND THEY CAN'T GAIN ACCESS.
SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE USE THE STUDENTS AND THE, AND THE YOUNG FOLK THAT ARE REGISTERED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY PASS ON TO THEIR FRIENDS OR TO THEIR FRIEND'S PARENTS TO MAKE SURE, CAUSE SOME OF THEM ARE TOO YOUNG RIGHT NOW TO UNDERSTAND AND KNOW, BUT BY THE TIME THE CENTER OPENS, THEY'LL BE OF A, OF AN AGE WHERE THEY WILL BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE, OF THE PROGRAMMING OUT AT, AT THE CENTER.
SO, UM, MY QUESTION IS, WHILE YOU WAS TALKING AND EVERYBODY YOU TALKING ABOUT, I'M TRYING TO CUZ SOMETHING YOU SAID KINDA, KINDA TRIGGERS.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT IT'S A LIMITED TIME TO REGISTER AND NO, YOU CAN REGISTER ANYTIME.
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE AND MAKE SURE THAT THE KIDS HAVE THE CARD WHEN THE CENTER OPENS.
NOW HAVE Y'ALL CONSIDERED THIS, UH, SOMETHING LIKE A FOOD LINE, WALMART OR A GAS STATION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? NORMALLY WHEN THEY, ITS Y'ALL A CARD.
THEY, ON THAT SCRIPT THEY HAVE LIKE TWO, TWO OR THREE CARS ON IT.
LIKE IF YOU GO FOR A REDUCTION IN YOUR GAS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND WHEN THEY SEND YOU THAT, THAT SQUARE CARD AND YOU PEEL OFF TWO THAT COULD GO ON YOUR, YOUR KEY CHAIN AND ONE THAT YOU JUST KEEP IN THE WALLET.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THAT? CAUSE IF YOU JUST, YOUR ONE ONE IS EASY TO GET INVOLVED.
IF YOU HAVE TWO, THEY CAN GIVE ONE TO THEIR PARENTS.
WELL THE, THE PROBLEM WE HAVE WITH THAT IS THE CARDS THAT WE HAVE, THEY DON'T HAVE LIKE MULTIPLE CARDS THAT HAVE THE SAME NUMBER.
BUT IT COULD ALWAYS BE CHANGED THOUGH.
SO REALLY THAT'S WHAT I SUGGEST THAT'LL BE CHANGED.
THAT IT, OTHER THAN JUST GIVING ONE HAVE HAVE TWO UM, OR MORE THAT YOU CAN JUST TAKE OFF.
I MEAN, UH, YOU DO IT ANYWHERE ELSE.
WHEN I GO TO, TO GET TWO OR 3 CENTS OFF WALMART OR ANOTHER STATION, THAT'S WHAT THEY SEND ME.
YOU KNOW, I HAVE ALL MINE SAVED ON MY PHONE RIGHT UNDER KEY RING AND THAT'S HOW I KEEP UP WITH IT.
CAUSE I HAVE IT ELECTRONICALLY.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE TABLED IN ANOTHER MEETING BECAUSE IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE SYSTEM IN PLACE, YOU TALKING ABOUT 15 MONTHS.
I SHARE THE SAME UH, SENTIMENT THAT MS. UH, PASTOR, UH, WAS SAYING IT, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME AND IT SEEMS LIKE IF WE HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE, WE SHOULD BE TALKING MORE ABOUT PROGRAMMING AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE VERSUS THE SYSTEM THAT YOU ALREADY ESTABLISHING AND COMING UP WITH HOW WE UH, GET PEOPLE REGISTERED FOR THAT AT ANOTHER DATE.
WELL, YOU KNOW, WE COULD HIT TWO THINGS AT ONE TIME WITH DOING THAT.
IF WE DID THESE SET UP OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE DID GET KIDS REGISTERED AT THE SAME TIME WE COULD GA GATHER SOME PUBLIC INPUT, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH A SURVEY OR JUST HAVING 'EM WRITE STUFF DOWN AS THEY COME IN.
WE COULD KIND OF DO BOTH OF THOSE AT THE SAME TIME.
SO IS IT INTEREST TO GET PUBLIC INPUT FOR THE PROGRAM OR WAS IT AN INTEREST TO GET THE, THE ACCESS TO THE CENTER? ARE YOU SAYING SOME DOUBLE RED SWORD? I MEAN I THINK IT, THEY'RE BOTH EQUALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF WE DON'T HAVE THE KIDS TO COME INTO THE CENTER, THERE'S, DOESN'T MATTER WHAT PROGRAMS WE OFFER, YOU KNOW, I IT SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED, YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU NEED SOME PUBLIC INPUT FOR THE PROGRAMMING SO YOU WANT ABSOLUTELY.
SO YOU WANNA GO AHEAD AND KINDA SET THAT, THAT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE UP THEN AND KIND OF GET SOME IDEAS AROUND THAT.
I THINK THAT IF YOU START OPENING IT UP TO THE PUBLIC FOR TOO MANY DIFFERENT OPTIONS, YOU GOING TO GET OVERWHELMED WITH WHAT COULD WORK AND WHAT WON'T WORK AND WE'RE GONNA BE MISSING WHAT WILL WORK.
ONCE THEY'RE REGISTERED AND LOGGED INTO THE SYSTEM, EVEN IF THEY LOSE THEIR CARDS, THEY'RE STILL IN OUR SYSTEM, CORRECT? MM-HMM.
IS THERE GONNA BE A PENALTY IF THEY DO LOSE THEIR, THEIR CARDS AND THEY'RE STILL IN THE SYSTEM? WILL THEY BE ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS THROUGH SOME OTHER MEANS? YEAH, WE WOULD PROBABLY JUST HAVE TO ISSUE A NEW CARD.
SWITCH OUT THEIR CARD AT A COST OR A PENALTY.
NO, I MEAN OBVIOUSLY FIRST TIME, NO.
I MEAN THAT'S SO NOT ANYTHING WE HAVE IN WRITING.
IF SOMEBODY LOSES IT CONTINUOUSLY, YOU KNOW, AND IT BECOMES A PROBLEM, THEN YOU KNOW, THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
[00:35:02]
QUESTION.WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SURVEYS THAT WE DID WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROCESS ABOUT PROGRAMMING AND EVERYTHING THAT PEOPLE WANTED TO SEE IN THE CENTER? WE, WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION, BUT SO CAN WE USE THAT INFORMATION TO KIND OF LOOK AT WHAT WAS THE AREAS OF PROGRAMMING THAT PEOPLE WANTED IN THE CENTER? YEAH, WE CAN USE THAT START.
UM, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE TARGETING EVERYONE.
YOU KNOW, LIKE IF, UM, SEDER'S NEW PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY OR PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T GET TO GIVE INPUT AT THOSE INITIAL MEETINGS, UM, BECAUSE THAT'S BEEN WHAT, TWO, THREE YEARS AGO.
UH, IT'D BE NICE TO HAVE SOME MORE UP TO DATE INPUT AS WELL.
UM, PERSONALLY I DON'T THINK YOU CAN EVER HAVE TOO MUCH INPUT BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT AND NEED.
UM, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO SIFT THROUGH IT AND SEE WHAT'S GONNA WORK AND WHAT WE CAN DO.
BUT I WOULD RATHER HAVE TOO MUCH INFORMATION TO NOT ENOUGH.
BUT AS HE WAS SAYING, YOU KNOW, HAVING, HAVING TOO MUCH.
THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO, YOU KNOW, I THINK DOING SOME TYPE OF SURVEY SO IT'S LIMITED TO SO MANY QUESTIONS.
UM, NOT WHERE IT'S TOO OVERWHELMING BUT HAS THINGS ON THERE THAT THEY CAN IDENTIFY.
MAYBE IT'S SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT THEY IDENTIFY BEFORE, BUT WE ADD IN A FEW NEW THINGS.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THEY WANNA ADD AS FAR AS PROGRAMMING? UM, I CAN START WORKING ON A SURVEY IF WE WANT TO DO A SURVEY AND WE CAN DO ELECTRONIC PAPER EVER HOW WE WANT TO SET IT UP.
UM, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO.
I HAVE TO, UM, SOFTWARE TO BE ABLE TO DO IT ELECTRONICALLY.
SO YEAH, I WOULD MAKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE JUST TAKE ONE OF THE NEXT MEETINGS AND REALLY JUST FOCUS IN ON PROGRAMMING AND, UM, I, I STILL HAVE MY INFORMATION FROM THE SURVEY THAT WE PUT OUT THE FIRST TIME, THE BOARDS THAT FOLKS KIND OF WROTE ON.
I I, I HELD ONTO THAT INFORMATION AND DON'T MIND SHARING THAT.
I'M SURE OTHER PEOPLE DO AS WELL.
BUT, UH, I WOULD JUST SAY THAT INSTEAD OF US KIND OF, YOU KNOW, JUST THROWING IT OUT NOW AND NOT REALLY HAVING ANY ANSWERS COMING BACK WITH THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED THE FIRST TIME AND US KIND OF FOCUSING IN AND HAVING A MEETING IN REGARDS TO THE PROGRAMMING.
I THINK THAT'S PLUS WITH WHAT MR. STEWART IS TALKING ABOUT, WE, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT ALL THAT AND PUT IT OUT THERE.
THE ONLY THING THAT I RESERVATION THAT I HAVE IS THAT THE PUBLIC IS SAYING, WELL YOU GUYS ARE WORRIED ABOUT SURVEYING OR ABOUT ACTIVITIES THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
IS STANLEY WHITE AND WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING HAPPENING AND THEY LOSE INTEREST IN WHAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, CUZ THEY DON'T SEE ANY GROUNDBREAKING.
I MEAN IT'S BEEN A LONG PROCESS.
RIGHT? I THINK THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD CHANGE THE DYNAMICS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING AND IT WOULD ALSO GET THE, THE COMMUNITY'S ATTENTION AND WITH THE APPETITE A LITTLE BIT WOULD BE TO, AND YOU ALL TELL ME IF IT'S TOO EARLY OR PREMATURE FOR IT, BUT TO TAKE THE DESIGN AND AS THEY DO IN CONSTRUCTION ON THE SITE, ON A VACANT LOT UP ON BROAD STREET, HAVE THAT BIG, HAVE THE SIGN, HAVE THE ACTUAL PLANS OF WHAT IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE, WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE INSIDE AND USE THAT IS ADVERTISING.
HAVE A FIBERGLASS BOX, HAVE FLYERS, PUT YOUR SURVEYS IN THERE BECAUSE JUST AS SOON AS IT COMES OUT, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA FLOCK TOWARD THAT SIGN.
YOU CAN HAVE ALL OF YOUR INFORMATION THERE THAT YOU WANT TO GET OUT TO THE PUBLIC.
AND THEN WE WOULD HELP TO GET IT OUT TO THE PUBLIC AND THEN IF WE ADVERTISE IT, BUT THAT BIG SIGN IS GOING TO DRAW PEOPLE'S ATTENTION.
THEY'RE GONNA WANNA STOP, THEY'RE GONNA WANNA READ IT AND IF THERE'S SOMETHING THERE FOR THEM TO TAKE PART IN, AND THAT'S WHEN WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE ACCENTUATE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A CARD TO GAIN ENTRY INTO THIS.
AND THEY'RE GONNA SEE THOSE COURTS, THEY'RE GONNA SEE WHAT'S AVAILABLE.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A PROGRAMMING AND THEN HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR PROGRAMMING AND THEY'RE GONNA SAY, I WANT TO BE A PART OF IT.
THEY'RE GONNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T LOSE, UH, TIMEFRAME
[00:40:01]
ON IT.AND IT'S GOING TO BE EXCITING BECAUSE NOW FINALLY SOMETHING IS HAPPENING.
BUT THAT WOULD BE A GREAT WAY TO ADVERTISE AND TO GET OUT DIFFERENT BULLET POINTS ALONG WITH PUTTING A SURVEY OUT THERE.
CAUSE THE SIGN IS GONNA DRAW 'EM IN.
AND ON THAT SIGN WE COULD DO LIKE A PROGRESS METER, SO MM-HMM.
BUT IS IT, IS IT PREMATURE OR TOO EARLY TO PUT THOSE PLANS OUT ON A SIGN? I THINK ONE, THE, THE INSTRUCTIONAL SIGN THINK, I THINK WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL THE GROUND THEY BREAK GROUND.
CAUSE I THINK IT DID, EXCUSE ME, UM, IN MY MIND IT, IT WOULDN'T BE TOO EARLY BECAUSE YOU DO ANY KIND OF BUILDING ANY KIND OF CONSTRUCTION, YOU COULD SAY FUTURE HOME OF MM-HMM.
WELL THAT'S YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
RIGHT THERE ON THE CORNER OF THIRD AND UH, I MEAN IF YOU PUT ONE ON RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT ON ON BOARD.
BUT PUT ONE BUTTON IN THE MIDDLE OF, YOU KNOW, CAUSE IF I TURN RIGHT AND I'M NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THAT SIGN, I'M MISSING, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? IF I'M GOING STRAIGHT, MAYBE I MIGHT SEE IT.
BUT IF A LOT OF TRAFFIC COME OFF BROAD STREET, A LOT OF TRAFFIC COME OFF THIRD AVENUE.
SO I THINK IF YOU, YOU DO BOTH, YOU ARE GONNA GET IT OUT THERE.
AND I NOT KNOW LITTLE SMALL RI SIGN A FOUR BY EIGHT, I MEAN HOLD NO, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A HUGE UH, YEAH.
SOMETHING THAT, THAT THAT'S VISIBLE.
WELL THIS IS THE CITY, SO THE CITY COULD PUT WHAT THEY WANT THIS, I MEAN THEY GOTTA THEY GOTTA APPROVE IT WITH PERMITS, BUT YES.
WELL IT, THEY'RE REALLY, REALLY REGULATING NOW.
REGULATING, YOU DON'T EVEN SEE ANY SIGNS ANYMORE ON THE ROAD.
OF WAVES AND SO FORTH BECAUSE THEY'RE, THE CITY IS VERY ADAMANT ABOUT IT.
BUT MS. WARREN CAN CHECK INTO THAT.
BECAUSE I KNOW EVEN, UH, WITH OTHERS THEY HAVE WANTED TO PUT SIGNS OUT, FUTURE, THIS FUTURE THAT.
AND I, I THINK THE ORDINANCE ASSIST THE REGULATIONS DON'T ALLOW IT.
AND, AND THE REASON IS, UH, BUT SHE CAN, SHE CAN CHECK INTO IT.
THE REASON I SAID IT IS BECAUSE I, I SEE, UM, SCOTT THOMAS, DAD BIG SIGNS OUT OF NOW AND OTHER, OTHER DEVELOPERS, THEY HAVE BIG SIGNS OUT OF THERE.
WELL IF THEY HAVE IT ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, PRIVATE PROPERTY, YOU CAN PUT SIGNS OUT CITY IT RIGHT OF WAYS MS. WARREN CAN CHECK INTO THAT FOR THE ORDINANCE.
UM, WHERE IS THE, WHERE, WHERE ARE FOLKS AT LIVE? UH, THE HOUSE THERE.
UM, THE LAST I HEARD, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE WORKING ON THE ROUTE AND GETTING ALL THE, UH, NECESSARY, UH, PERMITS AND THINGS THAT NEED TO BE IN PLACE BECAUSE THEY HAVE PUT OUT A DATES IN ROUTE DONE BY THE END OF FEBRUARY.
I HONESTLY, I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THAT.
UM, IS THAT A CONVERSATION YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN HAVING, MS. ROSS THERE HAS BEEN AN EXTENSION TO THE TIME, THE DATE WAS FEBRUARY THE FOURTH.
CURRENTLY THERE HAS BEEN SOME TYPE OF, UH, SETBACKS AND UM, IS, THERE IS NOT A CURRENT DATE BUT THE GENTLEMAN IS MOVING FORWARD.
SO AM I CORRECT IN THINKING THAT IF THIS THING GOES BACK INTO JUNE AND JULY, SUCH AS SETBACKS, THAT'S GOING TO SET US BACK JUST AS MUCH AS IT SETS BACK THE MOVING OF THE HOUSE, IT'S GONNA SET US BACK AS FAR AS AS THAT IS CORRECT? WELL, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD COMPLETELY SET US BACK BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF THAT WE'VE GOT TO DO TO PRE UP AND GET READY.
I THINK THERE'S THINGS WE COULD STILL START WORKING ON.
I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO COMPLETELY STOP US.
UM, BUT I, I'VE SEEN UH, LIKE THE ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN OVER THERE DOING WORK IN THE LAST MONTH OR TWO.
THERE'S THINGS THAT'LL BE, THERE'S THINGS THAT HAVE, YOU KNOW, LITTLE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON NOW, BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO IT IF YOU'RE NOT A, YOU KNOW, KNOW ONE.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LOT IS FOR YOU WOULDN'T THINK TO ASK.
BUT BY ME BEING ON THIS COMMITTEE AND WHEN I GO THROUGH THERE IN OUR CITY, SEE THE CITY ELECTRICAL TRUCKS THERE, I KNOW THAT THEY'RE STARTING TO PREP FOR DIFFERENT THINGS TO HAPPEN.
SO I DON'T THINK IF THE HOUSE DOESN'T GET MOVED BEFORE JUNE, IT'LL BE A SETBACK.
I MEAN THE BID GOES OUT IN APRIL, YOU FIGURE TWO MONTHS FOR THE BID.
WELL, WILL THAT PUT US THE BIDS ALREADY WENT? YEAH, THE BID'S
[00:45:01]
OUT.SO YOU FIGURE THE BID CLOSES AT APRIL 25TH OR WHENEVER AND THEN MAKING A DECISION ANOTHER MONTH.
GROUND SHOULD BE BROKEN IN JUNE, 1ST OF JUNE, JUNE 25TH AT THE LATEST.
SO I DON'T THINK THAT INTERFERE WITH THE GROUNDBREAKING.
I COULD BE WRONG, BUT I JUST DON'T, I THINK THE, THE SIGN IS A GOOD IDEA.
WE NEED TO JUST SEE WHAT IS THE CITY'S POLICY POLICY ON THAT.
WHERE IS THIS HOUSE GONNA BE LOCATED AT? WHEN HE MOVED RIM AVENUE, RAM AVENUE BACK BEHIND, UM, THE HUMAN RESOURCES BUILDING THE HOUSE THEY MOVED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
I WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO MOVE
ANY OTHER, UH, COMMENTS ON PROGRAMMING? YEAH, I SO CAN, CAN THE NEXT MEETING OR, OR CAN WE GET A DATE WHERE WE CAN JUST KIND OF FOCUS IN ON THE PROGRAMMING? YEAH.
THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE APRIL 18TH.
AND WE CAN COME PREPARED TO STRICTLY TALK ABOUT PROGRAMMING.
I'LL HAVE SURVEY AVAILABLE WE CAN LOOK AT AND START WORKING TOWARDS SOMETHING.
AND MS. MASSEY, IF YOU FIND OUT ANY MORE INFORMATION FROM THE SCHOOL SYSTEM ABOUT A WAY WE CAN ACCESS THAT, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THAT.
UM, AND ANOTHER THING, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT EST COMING UP.
THOSE ARE EVENTS THAT WE CAN TAP INTO, YOU KNOW, UM, TRYING TO GET SOME OF THESE KIDS IN AND GET 'EM SIGNED UP.
I CAN UM, TELL YOU THAT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM RIGHT NOW IS NOT DOING ADVERTISEMENT.
CAUSE THEY HAD A BIG THING AT THE SCHOOL BOARD ABOUT THAT.
THINKING YOU HIGH, I MAY HAVE THAT WALL.
AND ALL OF THOSE TYPE THINGS LIKE MAYBE SETTING APPLICATIONS UP THERE.
WITH A CLEAR, CONCISE POINT OF CONTACT.
PLEASE POSSIBLY SEND THESE APPLICATIONS BACK THE CITY.
IF THERE'S A SURVEY, UM, I'M HOPING THAT IT COULD BE ELECTRONIC AND PAPER SO THAT WE CAN REACH ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE.
CAUSE PEOPLE MISS MILL MM-HMM.
I MEAN A LOT OF OUT, SO I HAVE SOME PAPER TO GO WITH MAYBE PAPER APPLICATION WHEN JUNETEENTH CONCEPT THAT WE CAN HAVE A TABLE OUT THERE SO WE CAN SHOW THEM, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THIS IS ANOTHER SURVEY, BUT HERE'S ALSO AN APPLICATION AND SOME SORT OF PROGRESS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT SO THAT THEY'RE NOT JUST GOING THERE FILLING OUT YET ANOTHER SURVEY.
I, AND I DON'T WANT IT TO BE A SURVEY THAT'S GONNA BE OVERWHELMED AND LIKE, IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
UM, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY LIKE, WHAT THEY WANT, YOU KNOW, THE THINGS THEY'RE INTERESTED IN.
APPLICATION, I DUNNO, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SIGNING YEAH.
THEY DON'T LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE REALLY MEANINGFUL SURVEY.
AND EVEN IF WE HAVE A COMPUTER ON SITE THAT IT'S ALREADY GOT A SURVEY ON AND THEY CAN JUST GO AHEAD AND JUST CLICK 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, WHATEVER, YOU KNOW.
[9. History Wall]
UM, LAST THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WAS HISTORY WALL.I DIDN'T KNOW IF ANYBODY HAD GATHERED ANY PHOTOS OR ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO SHARE.
I GOT A FEW, I'VE BEEN IN THE PROCESS, UH, TALKED SOME OF THE, MY, YOU KNOW, FORMER COWORKERS AND, UH, THEY BROUGHT IN SOME, BUT I'M STILL FOR SOME MORE COMPUTERS.
AND EVEN IF YOU WANT TO COME BY THE OFFICE AND WE CAN SCAN 'EM RIGHT THERE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER TO HELP OUT.
I'M SURE NANCY WOULDN'T MIND
I I HAVE A, AN APPOINTMENT WITH MS. CLEO WHITE, UH, WHO HAS A SCRAPBOOK FULL OF PICTURES AND UM, I'LL BE MEETING WITH HER AND SCREENSHOTTING SOME OF THE PHOTOS THAT SHE HAS AND I'LL BE BRINGING THEM TO THE APRIL THE 18TH MEETING.
AND I DID ALSO, UH, EMAIL YOU THE SLOGAN'S, THE MANTRAS THAT WE CAME UP WITH.
AND THOSE WERE SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS THAT WE WENT OVER BACK IN JANUARY.
[00:50:01]
YEAH.BIG, WELL SMALL, TURNS INTO BIG WHEN EVERYBODY BRINGS SOME, SO YEAH, I GOT A SMALL SELECTION.
I JUST NEED TO GET THE PICTURE OF PEOPLE THAT WERE, BUT MOST PEOPLE DON'T REMEMBER THEM UP AS A KID.
ESPECIALLY IF ANYBODY HAS ANY OLD SPORTS PICTURES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT THAT WAS TAKEN AT THE CENTER.
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME NEIGHBORHOOD.
BUT, UH, I GOT SOME, I'M TRYING TO FIND SOME, THE SENIOR CITIZEN, WE HAD A GOOD GROUP OF SENIOR CITIZENS, UH, AT, UH, AND UNFORTUNATELY MOST OF THEM MEMBERS ARE GONE, BUT, UH, I'M STILL TRYING TO, I GOT A FEW, BUT I'M STILL TRYING TO DOWN SOME MORE OF THEM.
UH, BUT THEY WERE REAL ACTIVE.
I JUST THINK THAT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE ALL THESE PICTURES THAT PEOPLE CAN LOOK AT AND REMEMBER AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THEY WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS OR ADD? SO WILL I FOCUS SYLVIA ON HENDERSON PARK AS WELL? YEAH.
UM, ONCE WE, UM, FINISH UP AT PLEASANT HILL, THE PLAN IS TO GET STARTED OUT AT HENDERSON PARK.
UM, PLEASANT HILL IS SLATED TO BE DONE, UM, THE MIDDLE OF APRIL, AROUND APRIL 15TH ISH.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET STARTED OVER THERE, UM, AND GET MOVING ON THAT.
WE HAVE A LOT OF PROJECTS IN THE WORKS.
SO
THAT LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL FIELD THAT WE HAD OVER THERE, STANDING WHITE, STILL GONNA BE IN PROCESS.
WE'RE GONNA BE, UM, THAT'S GONNA BE PART OF THE REDEVELOPMENT.
UM, CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH ELECTRIC OUT THERE, UM, IN ALL THOSE AREAS, UM, FOR FUTURE USE ON SOME OF THOSE ELECTRICAL POLES.
HE WAS A, THAT I WOULD SAY THAT MAY MANNED UP, WAS FIGHTING AND HAD HIM PRACTICE TO, UH, WHITE.
HE WAS ONE, ONE GUY THAT COME OUT THERE EVERY DAY.
UH, WHEN HE GOT WORK, HE WORKED ON CHERRY.
I DID HAVE ONE THING, UH, WITH THEM, SOME PARK, I HAVE A LOT OF, UM, RESIDENTS, UM, CALLING IN, UH, TRYING TO RENT, UM, CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE PARK MM-HMM.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICITY THERE? WE, WHEN WE HAVE SOME ELECTRICITY THERE, BUT WHENEVER THE CENTER WAS DEMOLISHED MM-HMM.
AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET THAT REESTABLISHED.
AND, BUT Y'ALL DON'T HAVE A, A TIMETABLE ON THAT THEN? I CAN JUST LET 'EM KNOW WHAT YOU JUST SAID.
WELL, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT THE ONE DOING THE WORK.
UM, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THEY'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW, LIKE GETTING THE PLANS AND THINGS THAT WE'LL NEED.
SO HOPEFULLY IT WON'T BE TOO LONG.
ANYTHING ELSE, MEGAN? ALL RIGHT.
LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING Y'ALL IN APRIL.
