[Parks Advisory Board Meeting on April 16, 2026.]
          [00:00:18]
          GOT HERE AT THIS TIME, WE DO HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO FORM A QUORUM. OKAY. WE HAVE THE THE MINUTES FROM THE JANUARY 22ND MEETING. I'VE READ THEM APPEAR TO BE IN ORDER. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE MEETING MINUTES? IF NOT, CAN WE GET A MOTION? THEY'D BE ACCEPTED. I'LL MAKE A MOTION. SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING I, I. OKAY. WE HAVE. WE HAVE PRESENTATIONS. DID YOU WANT TO DO THAT? JUST YOU JUST WANTED TO GO THROUGH THE STUFF THAT YOU GUYS WERE ASKING AND THEN GET YOUR HAND ON MAYBE. OKAY. YES. IF IF WE CAN DO THAT FIRST, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PASS THE GAVEL. SO WHEN THAT'S OVER, I'M GOING TO QUIETLY GET UP AS QUIETLY AS I CAN GET UP AND I'M GOING TO WALK OUT. OKAY, LET'S JUST START WITH THAT. SURE. SO STARTING WITH THE PART B ADVISORY BOARD REVIEW AND INPUT THE PASSIVE EXERCISE CONCEPT IN THE PROPOSED LOCATIONS OF SPRING AVENUE AND SALLY YOUNG EARLIER THIS YEAR. AS YOU KNOW, WE WERE DIRECTED TO LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF A GRANT PROGRAM OFFERED TO A PASSIVE FITNESS COURT THAT WENT THROUGH A SPECIFIC COMPANY. IN TALKING WITH COLLEAGUES AND VENDORS, WE CAME TO LEARN A LOT ABOUT PASSIVE EXERCISE EQUIPMENT AND ITS USAGE, ITS COSTS AND ITS TREND. LIKE GOING THAT THE YOUNGER GENERATION IS REALLY MOVING A LOT MORE TOWARDS PHYSICAL FITNESS THAN AND ESPECIALLY GYM MEMBERSHIPS AND WEIGHTS AND STUFF. THAT BEING SAID, THE ADDITION OF THESE EQUIPMENT STATIONS OR FITNESS COURTS HAS BECOME A GROWING THING ALONG TRAILS AND WALKING TRAILS AND OTHER AREAS WHERE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE CAN, YOU KNOW, WALK, RUN, REST OR NOT REST. 
          BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO WE'VE IDENTIFIED A COUPLE OF LOCATIONS THAT WE THINK THESE THIS WOULD GO REALLY WELL, POPULATION DENSITY AS WELL AS EXISTING WALKING TRAILS OR NEW PROPOSED WALKING TRAILS IN THE AREA. AT LAST MEETING, WE TALKED ABOUT A COUPLE OF THE ONES THAT WERE ALREADY OPERATING IN THE AREA AND HOW THEY'RE GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION AND THOUGHT THAT MAYBE BY DIGGING A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO WHAT'S OFFERED, WE COULD COME UP WITH SOME BETTER FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE, FISCALLY MORE CONSERVATIVE COSTS. THE THE ONE WE PROPOSED WITH THE FITNESS COURT, THE LARGE ONE, RAN A 197 TO $250,000, GIVE OR TAKE. AND THAT WAS AFTER A 30 TO $50,000 GRANT THROUGH THEIR COMPANY. WE'VE SINCE REACHED OUT TO TWO ADDITIONAL COMPANIES, ONE OF THEM BEING KOMPAN, WHICH PROVIDED US A MUCH MORE, IN MY OPINION, REASONABLE, REASONABLE QUOTE. IT'S DIFFERENT. IT'S MORE EXERCISE EQUIPMENT THAN A LARGE SCALE COURT. BUT THEY COME, THEY'RE COMING. THEY'RE BASICALLY A TOTAL WOULD BE ABOUT 70. AND THEN WITH EXTRA ADD ONS COULD GO UP TO AS MUCH AS 160. SO RIGHT THERE, YOU'RE ALREADY SEEING A BIT OF A DISCOUNT IN COMPARED TO THE FITNESS COURT. AND OUTDOOR FIT DECLINED TO GIVE US A QUOTE PER. AND UNTIL YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE BACK US IN LOOKING AT THIS STUFF, BUT THEY'RE FROM TALKING WITH OTHER COLLEAGUES, THEY'RE VERY REASONABLE. MOST OF THEIR STUFF IS NOT THE. IT'S DESIGNED MORE FOR LONGEVITY USE THAN BEING ESTHETICALLY PLEASING, BUT THAT THAT HAS ITS OWN PLACE TOO. SO WITH REGARDS TO THAT, WE'RE JUST ASKING THAT FOR TRAINING TO THE MASTER PLAN OF IMPROVING TRAILS AND SPECIFICALLY WALKING TRAILS THAT THE BOARD APPROVED STAFF TO BUDGET AND PLAN FOR EQUIPMENT IN THESE LOCATIONS MOVING FORWARD OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. I GUESS Y'ALL JUST DEVELOP A BUDGET. 
          ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE WE'D TAKE WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW, GET SOME MORE STUFF FROM OTHER VENDORS, SPECIFICALLY OUTDOOR FIT, AND THEN KIND OF CHOOSE WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST FOR THE COUNTY. 
          BRING THAT BACK TO YOU GUYS TO GET YOUR OPINION ON IT. THE THIRD OPTION IS THEY WOULD PREFER, IN FACT, FITNESS, THE NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN'S FITNESS COURT. THEY ALSO ARE 
          [00:05:03]
VERY. THEY WANT TO SEE A LOT OF ENROLLMENT OR IMPROVEMENT AND BACKING FROM BOARDS FROM HIGHER UPS BEFORE THEY MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR THEIR GRANT PROCESS. OKAY. BUT THAT BEING SAID, THAT THAT IS QUITE A BIT MORE EXPENSIVE. AT AT THE LAST MEETING, I REMEMBER HAVING MAKING SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THE CONCEPT, IT BEING SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT WAS NOT NECESSARILY TRENDY MORE. I'VE SEEN THESE BEFORE WHERE THEY'RE. USUALLY IN HIGH DENSITY LOCATIONS, DENSITY CAPITAL POPULATIONS. I HAVE NOT SEEN THESE EFFECTIVE IN SUBURBAN AREAS, NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS. THERE'S, THERE'S ONE IN SPRINGFIELD. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AT THE LAST MEETING WAS. IS IT POSSIBLE TO KIND OF GET SOME KIND OF INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THAT PARK. SURE. BEING UTILIZED, HOW IT WAS PERCEIVED IN, YOU KNOW, IN THE, IN THE MARKETPLACE BEFORE WE MAKE A COMMITMENT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT CONCEPT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER WHAT FROM A LOCATION STANDPOINT, I THINK WE STILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT, IS THAT CONCEPT VIABLE FOR BAY COUNTY IN A, IN A IN A SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD SETTING? I CAN ATTEST TO THE MORE CONSERVATIVE PRICED OPTION WITH KOMPAN BEING HEAVILY UTILIZED IN OFF FLORIDA AVENUE AT HARVEY D PARK, I THINK IS WHAT IT'S CALLED. THEY. 
          I, I GO THERE QUITE OFTEN AND IT'S NEVER JUST ME. CORRECT ME IF I'M UNDERSTANDING THIS RIGHT. 
          YOU JUST NEED A MOTION SO YOU CAN CONTINUE TO RESEARCH THIS BECAUSE CERTAIN COMPANIES NEED THIS FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO GET ESTIMATES AND STUFF FROM THEM. ONE JUST ONE. ONE. YES, MA'AM. 
          SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY APPROVAL OF DOING THIS. IT'S APPROVAL OF BUDGETING AND RESEARCHING. YEAH. TO, TO BUDGET AND PLAN FOR THOSE FOR THESE TWO SPECIFIC LOCATIONS. 
          OKAY. WE CHOSE THESE LOCATIONS BECAUSE OF THE DENSITY AND OF, OF ROUND SPRING AVENUE. AND THEN BECAUSE ALL THE YOUNG IS GOING THROUGH A REAL RENAISSANCE, WE'RE ADDING A LOT OF STUFF THERE. AND THEY HAVE THAT BRAND NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT'S BEEN GROWING OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS. I THINK WHAT SHE'S ASKING IS THIS, THIS APPROVAL IS NOT THE LAST STEP BEFORE THIS GETS DONE, RIGHT? OH NO, NO IT'S NOT. DOES THIS GO BEFORE THE COMMISSION OR DOES THIS STAY? WHAT WHAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING, IF I MAY, IS YOU'RE ASKING FOR THEM FOR THE APPROVAL TO DO, SAY, BUDGET IN HERE TO BUDGET IT. SO WHAT YOU'RE ASKING IS, IS, IS THEM TO APPROVE IT, AND WE GO AHEAD AND PUT IT IN THE BUDGET AND IT WOULD GO BEFORE THE COMMISSION THEN THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS. NOW, DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH IT COSTS, THAT WOULD DICTATE WHETHER OR NOT IT ACTUALLY WENT BEFORE THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL. SO IF $750,000 IS WORTH ANYTHING OVER WOULD. BUT THEY CAN ALSO TURN IT DOWN DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS AS WELL, EVEN IF IT'S 70. SO THE WAY I'M READING IT TOO, IS THAT YOU'RE ASKING THE BOARD TO APPROVE THE PARKS AND RECREATION ADDITIONS TO GO AHEAD AND BUDGET FOR THIS. YES. THAT'S BUDGETING AND KIND OF TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, BUT IF IT'S MY OWN POINT THERE WITH WHAT YOU'RE ASKING, YES, IF YOU'RE ASKING ME, I'M ASKING. SORRY. YOU'RE ASKING ME OR NOT. HE'S ASKING YOU. YEAH. I'M SORRY. I'M ASKING YOU. OKAY? I'M SORRY. I'M INTERPRETING WHAT YOU'RE. 
          I'VE HAD THE LIBERTY TO SPEAK TO A COUPLE OF COMMISSIONERS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ITEM. 
          BECAUSE I WANTED SOME FEEDBACK. I DIDN'T WANT TO SWIM UPSTREAM. IF THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS SPECIFIC, THAT ONE OF THEM WANTED TO KNOW THAT WANTED THEM, THAT ONE OF THEM WANTED TO BE PUSHED THROUGH. I WAS NOT GIVEN THE IMPRESSION THAT. THAT IT WAS, OR I WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T. AND, AND SO I I'M STILL BACK TO THE SAME POINT THAT I WAS TWO MONTHS AGO OR BACK IN 
          [00:10:08]
JANUARY, WHERE I DIDN'T THINK AT THAT TIME, THIS CONCEPT WAS RIGHT FOR SUCH A LOW DENSITY, LOW RESIDENTIAL. NEIGHBORHOOD TYPE OF PROJECT. THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHT. BASED ON THE FACT THAT I PROBABLY LOOKED UP, YOU KNOW, IT'S REAL EASY JUST TO PULL UP THIS TYPE OF CONCEPT. WHERE DO YOU SEE THEM? USUALLY VERY METROPOLITAN AREAS, HIGHLY POPULATED AREAS. AND THAT JUST SEEMS LIKE A WHEN, WHEN I, WHEN I HEARD THE THE PROPOSAL LAST WEEK, IT WAS BEING DRIVEN BY AN INITIATIVE OR A COMPANY THAT OFFERS GRANTS FOR IT. SO THEREFORE I'M THINKING, WELL, WHY DOES SOMETHING LIKE THAT EVEN GET TO TO US WHEN WE HAVE THIS BIG LONG LIST OF ALL KINDS OF PROJECTS AND WE HAVE STRATEGIC PLAN FROM 2022, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING IN THERE RELATING TO THIS, TO THAT PLAN. I DIDN'T SEE ANY. THE MOST RECENT PLAN THAT WE PUT TOGETHER WAS THE PROJECT PLAN. AND THIS DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT. SO MY PERCEPTION IS THAT I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE PIVOTED, IF WE'VE BEEN INFLUENCED BY THIS COMPANY. IT JUST SEEMS A LITTLE OFF THE THE PATH THAT WE HAVE BEEN ON. AND, AND I'M NOT SAYING WE ARE, I'M JUST SAYING BASED ON WHAT I'M, WHAT I'M, WHAT I'M, YOU KNOW, WHAT I. HEARD AT THE LAST MEETING BECAUSE WE, WE DON'T WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE. YOU KNOW, WE'VE, WE'VE BEEN SO RESPONSIVE TO. THE SKATEBOARDERS THAT SHOWED UP THE, THE, THE DISC GOLF PEOPLE THAT SHOWED UP. THAT'S KIND OF BEEN WHAT WE'VE BEEN REACTIONARY TO ARE THOSE GROUPS THAT MOBILIZED AND, AND WHATNOT. AND I JUST, I JUST DIDN'T THINK THIS FIT THE MOLD. IT WASN'T LIKE THE YOUNG NEIGHBORHOOD SHOWED UP IN FORCE AND SAID, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT. SO THEREFORE I JUST QUESTIONED IT. WELL, THAT'S REASONABLE. MAKES THE I'M LOOKING AT MY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, BUT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. WELL, SO THE ONES THAT GET ACTIVE, RIGHT, HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS THEIR ACTIVISM TO US AND WE CAN RESPOND TO IT POSITIVELY OR WE CAN, YOU KNOW, AND EVEN WHEN WE RESPOND TO SOMETHING POSITIVELY, DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'VE GOT MONEY IN THE BUDGET FOR IT TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT 2 OR 3 OR 4 OR 5 YEARS. WE'VE WE'VE SEEN PARKS DEPARTMENT HAS STRUGGLED. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S BEEN THE LAST MEETING. THERE WAS ANOTHER THING THAT CAME UP. MY GOSH, YOU GOT TEN PROJECTS GOING ON, LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT HAVE THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PREVIOUS 4 OR 5 YEARS, NOT NOT NEARLY AS MUCH, JUST DIDN'T SEEM LIKE WE WERE BEING FUNDED. FOR IT. A LOT OF WE, WE'VE GOT THEY'VE BEEN WE'VE BEEN PRETTY GOOD WITH FUNDING. HONESTLY, THE LAST FOUR YEARS COMPARED TO WHAT WE WERE. AND THEY, THEY'VE GOT AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF WORK DONE. I THINK THIS IS A THING THAT THE THE PARKS AND RECREATION STAFF IS, IS FEELING LIKE IT'S A, IT'S A, WE'RE LOOKING AT MARKETS BIGGER THAN OURS WITH THIS. AND IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING THAT'S HAPPENING. AND IT WAS JUST SORT OF LOW HANGING FRUIT A LITTLE BIT TO MOVE IN A MORE PROGRESSIVE DIRECTION WITH THE WAY WE PRESENT OUR PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES AND THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE CAN USE. AND I GUESS AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR WITH THIS PARTICULAR AGENDA ITEM IS WHETHER OR NOT YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED IN US PURSUING, PUTTING A BUDGET TOGETHER FOR IT AND PUTTING IT INTO THE BUDGET. SO THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD REALLY BE YOUR MOTION ON THIS. AND I THINK WE'VE DISCUSSED IT, AND I'VE PRETTY MUCH GAUGED THE ROOM ON THIS. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, AND I'M NOT SAYING IT. THAT'S REALLY WHAT IT IS. SO I FEEL LIKE IT'S PLANNING AHEAD. LIKE YOU SAID, WHICH ONE OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS IS GROWING. SO THE ONE, THE ONE THAT IN PARTICULAR THAT I FEEL LIKE YOU WOULD, YOU WOULD GET SOME USE 
          [00:15:04]
OUT OF THIS OUT OF THE TWO THAT ARE PROPOSED. THIS IS ALL A YOUNG PARK THAT THAT PARK IS GOING TO END UP BEING REALLY A, A VERY, A VERY NEAT PLACE, YOU KNOW, BASED UPON, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE HAD PEOPLE COMING TO US ABOUT AMENITIES AT THAT PARK. I'M NOT PARTICULARLY AWARE PERSONALLY OF THEM ASKING FOR THIS UNLESS I'M MISSING SOMETHING. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING SOME PRETTY PROGRESSIVE THINGS HERE NOW AS FAR AS WE'VE GOT DOG PARK, WE'RE WE'RE IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET. IN FACT, THIS JUST WENT FOR THE BOARD LAST MEETING TO APPROVE PUTTING A WALKING TRAIL AROUND IT, AROUND THE DOG PARK, WHICH WILL CONNECT TO THE. THAT'S ON THE NORTH END, WHICH IS THE LOWER SECTION. AND YOU KNOW, THE THE BAYOU WAS A CREEK OFFSHOOT OF THE BODY THAT BISECTS THE PARK. AND THEN THE TOP PART, WE'RE GOING TO PUT SOME BASKETBALL COURTS AND, YOU KNOW, A BATHROOM UP THERE AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. AND WE'RE ALSO PUTTING A SMALL CRAFT LAUNCHING AS PART OF THAT PROJECT. I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THE WALKING TRAIL. SO IT'S GOING TO END UP BEING LIKE A VERY USED PARK JUST BY VIRTUE OF THE THE DENSITY AROUND IT. BUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S BEING BUILT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HOMES ARE THAT D.R. HORTON SUBDIVISION, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY A, I'D SAY A COUPLE HUNDRED. AND THEN THERE'S, YOU KNOW, ALL AROUND, LIKE THAT'S THE ONLY PARK LOCATION FOR ALL OF THAT D.R. HORTON STUFF THERE. AND THEN ACROSS 390 AND THEN YOU GOT JUST THERE'S NO PARTS THERE OTHER THAN THE BIG LYNNHAVEN PARK AT 390. IT'S WEDGED IN BETWEEN 390 AND 231. 
          AND YEAH, IT'S A, IT'S, IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY POPULAR LOCATION IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS, I GUARANTEE IT. BUT THERE AGAIN, IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT US TO TABLE AND JUST CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT. THAT'S FINE IF YOU KNOW WE'RE AHEAD OF WHAT YOU GUYS SUGGEST. 
          SO THERE AGAIN, THE, THE MOTION ACCORDING TO THIS AGENDA, UNLESS WE WANT TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER ONE WOULD BE TO APPROVE US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE BUDGET. AND YOU COULD SAY WE DON'T WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT, BUT WE'RE JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR IT AND SEE, YOU KNOW, IF IT BECOMES SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE REALLY WANT THE COMMUNITY. HAVING OPINIONS ABOUT. I LIKE THE IDEA OF IT. I THINK THE LARGE OPTION, WHICH IS WHAT, YOU KNOW, THE MOST EXPENSIVE. YEAH, THAT NECESSARILY FITS, I AGREE, BUT I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF, YOU KNOW, RUN DOWN THE TRAIL AND THEN THERE'S SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TEN PULL UPS. NOT THAT I CAN EVEN DO TEN, BUT AND THEN KEEP GOING AS LONG AS IT'S, IT'S GOT TO LOOK RIGHT TO, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I DO SEE THAT IN A LOT OF PLACES. I DO THINK IT'S FORWARD THINKING. IF YOU'D LIKE, I CAN JUMP ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE PRESENTATION JUST TO SHOW YOU. I THINK IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A BALANCE AND BEING VERY MINDFUL OF THAT BALANCE OF THINGS. SO THIS IS THE SETUP THAT'S THE MOST CONSERVATIVELY PRICED. IT'S ENTIRELY ADA COMPLIANT, WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE FALL DISTANCES, AND THE SUBSTRATE IS ALL SAFE, ADA COMPLIANT, AND YOU'RE SEEING A CIRCUIT OF ONE CLUSTERED AREA THAT IS EASILY ATTACHED TO A WALKING TRAIL THAT ALLOW YOU TO MOVE AROUND AND THEN GO BACK TO YOUR WALK, OR JUST USE WHAT YOU'D LIKE. THIS IS THE SIMILAR TO THE SAME SETUP THAT THEY HAVE AT FLORIDA AVENUE. THESE INCLUDE HAND BIKES. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN THOSE BEFORE, BUT YOU SIT AND AND THEN STRETCHING EXERCISES. I'M SORRY. SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN. NO, THAT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT. THE OTHER THING I NOTICED WITH THE ONE OUT IN SPRINGFIELD IS THERE'S NO SHADE ON TOP OF IT. SO THIS HAS A SHADED OPTION. 
          OKAY. THIS IS ONE OF THE THE ADD ONS. THIS BY ITSELF IS QUOTED AS 72,000. AND THEN WITH THE SHADE STRUCTURE, I BELIEVE THE ADDITIONAL SHADE IS 28,000 FOR A 35 BY 35 SHADE STRUCTURE OVER TOP. THE OUTDOOR FIT, WHICH CLAIMS EXCEEDINGLY LONG LONGEVITY IN LIFETIME, IS MORE OF THE SAME STYLE. THEIR THEIR THEIR STUFF IS A LITTLE BIT MORE. I WOULD SAY THAT THE EASE OF USE IS JUST A SLIGHTLY BIT MORE DIFFICULT THAN THE OTHER ONE. THE THE COMP. CAN YOU JUST PULL A THING OUT AND YOU CAN ADJUST WHATEVER SIZE, WEIGHT YOU WANT OR JUST USE THE STRETCHING. THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY A PULLEY SYSTEM, BUT IT'S ALL INTERNALIZED. THIS, THIS COMES FROM CANADA, NOVA SCOTIA SPECIFICALLY. AND THEY DO, THEY CLAIM EXTENSIVE LONG LIFE IN SALT SALTY CONDITIONS. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THEIR PRICES ARE COMPARABLE TO COMPONENTS, BUT THEY WOULD THEY DID NOT. THEY DECLINED TO QUOTE WITHOUT SOMETHING LIKE A PURPOSE IN PLACE, WE'LL SAY. I THINK THE BEST PART ABOUT THAT WHOLE PROJECT IS THE CANOPY 
          [00:20:02]
THAT I SEE, A PAVILION. I ALMOST WANT TO PIVOT AND MAKE A MOTION THAT YOU LOOK AT BUILDING A PAVILION FIRST THAT MIGHT HAVE SOME USE AND ULTIMATELY COME BACK AND REVIEW. 
          BUT I THE MORE I LOOK AT THAT, THE MORE I, I THINK YOU NEED DENSITY AND I DON'T CARE. D.R. 
          HORTON BUILDS 3000 HOMES OVER THERE. THAT'S NOT THE DENSITY THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS. 
          BECAUSE AGAIN, IF YOU'RE JUST PUTTING SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN, IT'S KIND OF THE STARTER SET. 
          IT'S KIND OF LIKE BUILDING, YOU KNOW, HEY, YOU'VE GOT 5 OR 6 DIFFERENT ITEMS AND THEN YOU COME BACK AND YOU ADD ANOTHER 3 OR 4 ITEMS OR WHATNOT. AND I HAVE NO OBJECTION WHATSOEVER TO SPENDING WHATEVER THE ALLOCATED MONEY IS ALL YOUNG BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S A, THAT'S GOING TO BE A PARK. YEAH. THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF ACTIVITY THERE. AND THERE'S ALREADY BEEN SOME MONEY INVESTED. SO THERE'S EXCITEMENT ABOUT IT AND SO FORTH AND, AND WHATNOT. I STILL THINK THAT CONCEPT IS IF SOMEBODY IS TELLING YOU THIS IS WHAT'S UP AND COMING, I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE TELLING YOU THAT BECAUSE THAT'S THE PRODUCT THAT THEY SELL. I, I'M YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. WHEN IF YOU REFERENCE THAT WITH THE NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE SELLING TO US. THIS OTHER STUFF CAME APART WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING INTO IT. AND IT WAS, WELL, THIS COMPANY IS OFFERING US A GRANT AND IT'S LIKE, WELL, WHAT OTHER OPTIONS ARE THERE? SO THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE EXCITED ABOUT. THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE COST EFFECTIVE. THAT'S WHY WE KIND OF BROUGHT IT TO YOU GUYS. ALL RIGHT. ASK YOURSELF, HAVE YOU ALL BEEN UP TO YOUNGSTOWN CT. WE HAVE AN ENCLOSED PAVILION COMMUNITY CENTER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL ELSE. JASON, WHAT DO WE HAVE? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO WIND UP WITH UP THERE? OH, YEAH. I MEAN, THAT'S GOING TO BE WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A FIRE STATION, RIGHT? STATION. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE COMMUNITY CENTER. IT'S STILL ALL HORIZONTAL WORK RIGHT NOW. AND THEY STARTED DOING THE PAVILION WHERE YOU CAN HAVE THAT WHOLE RODEOS. YOU HAVE RODEOS THERE. BUT HAVE THEY STARTED THE VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION? I DON'T THINK SO. I'M NOT MANAGING THAT. SO I'M NOT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE ALL THE TIME. THEY'RE BEST THEY CAN. EVERY DAY. I PASS BY THERE JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY AND THEY'RE OUT THERE WORKING LIKE WE'VE GOT. WE HAD 35 ACRES RAISED AND WE'VE DOUBLED THAT. I THINK WE'VE ABOUT DOUBLED THAT FOR US. WE'VE GOT CLOSE TO 70 ACRES UP THERE. I'M GOING TO FLOAT THIS OUT HERE. AND LET'S JUST SEE IF THE ADVISORY BOARD WOULD ENTERTAIN THIS. YEAH, I'M I'M GOING TO SUGGEST THAT STAFF. COME UP WITH AN ALTERNATIVE USE FOR THE FUNDS THAT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE FOR, FOR ZOE YOUNG AND I DO THINK ZOLLIE YOUNG OVER SPRING AVENUE. I THINK THAT'S A THERE ARE GOING TO BE A LOT OF HOMES AROUND IT AND JUST COME BACK TO US WITH MAYBE AN ALTERNATIVE USE. YOU MEAN LIKE, LIKE FOR THE OPTIONS ARE I MEAN, NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE DOING GREAT TO HAVE. BUT LIKE, HOW GREAT OF A PLAYGROUND COULD YOU MAKE WITH THIS THING? RIGHT? SO THAT'S ACTUALLY A PART OF THE CONCEPT WITH ZOE YOUNG AS WELL AS SPRING AVENUE WAS THAT THE PLAYGROUND WAS GOING TO BE PUT RIGHT NEXT TO IT, AS IS THE CASE WITH FLORIDA AVENUE. 
          SEEING THAT HOW MUCH USE THEY'RE GETTING IN THAT, YOU KNOW, VERY I MEAN, THERE'S A SINGLE FAMILY HOME CENTRIC NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT THERE THAT THE PLAYGROUND IS DRAWING. A LOT OF THE KIDS AND THE ADULTS ARE ON THE EXERCISE EQUIPMENT. YEAH. LIKE IT'S THEORETICALLY NOT OPPOSED TO IT. IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE EMBARRASSED ABOUT LIKE BEING ABLE TO DO A PULL UP OR SOMETHING. I JUST CAN'T SEE THEM GOING OUT AND WANT TO, YOU KNOW, HIT THE HAND BUNKER OR SOMETHING. OH, OH, I CAN SEE SOME PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, SOME DON'T WANT TO SHOW OUT. 
          YEAH. BUT YEAH, IF THE SAME THING COULD BE USED TO MAKE LIKE THE GREATEST PLAYGROUND IN THE WORLD, YOU KNOW, KIDS ALL OVER IT. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE DIFFERENT OPTIONS. SO I MADE A MOTION THAT, THAT WE, THE ADVISORY BOARD PAUSE ON THIS CONCEPT AND THAT STAFF COME BACK TO THE ADVISORY BOARD WITH SOME OTHER OPTIONS FOR, FOR SALLY YOUNG. THAT'S THAT'S MY MOTION. I'LL SECOND THAT. OKAY. SO. TRAVIS THOMPSON, I. ON HIS MOTION, RIGHT. JUST ON MY 
          [00:25:04]
MOTION. I'M JUST LOOKING. YEAH. DANIEL DAVIES WAS MOSTLY A. A. I VOTED 534 AND ONE AGAIN. WE HAD ONE MOTION. I WOULD ALSO SAY SAY THIS THAT IF STAFF BRINGS OPTIONS, MAYBE THE SAME CONCEPT CAN CAN COME BACK AS. BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE SEEING SOME VALUE IN IT. AND MAYBE, MAYBE THERE'S JUST DISCUSSION AT A SUBSEQUENT MEETING THAT ADDRESSES, HEY, WHAT DO WE WANT TO SEE DONE AT. IT'S NOT TO SAY WE COULD COME BACK ENOUGH DIFFERENT LEVELS. YEAH. NOT TO SAY THAT WE CAN'T COME BACK TO THIS. THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S JUST RIGHT NOW I'M TRYING TO FIND THAT THAT'S WHERE I WAS LIKE, I LIKE THE CONCEPT, BUT I THINK IT NEEDS A DIFFERENT. WE'LL COME BACK WITH SOME. YEAH. AND THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT BEING PART OF OUR WATER SYSTEMS. YEAH. 
          WOULD IT HELP IF WE SURVEYED THE NEIGHBORHOODS? WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING YOU GUYS WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SEEING THAT THAT MIGHT COME AT A COST, BUT. I MEAN WE COULD HAVE REAL WORLD DEMOGRAPHICS WITH CITIZENS IN THE AREA. IF THE IF THEY SEE THE AGAIN, I'M I'M NOT TRYING NOT TO OVERSTEP MY BOUNDS HERE, BUT I WOULD. BUT I WOULD SAY IF AS A COMMITTEE, AS AN ADVISORY BOARD THAT WE'RE THINKING THAT THIS IS A REASONABLE BUDGET AMOUNT FOR IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL. 
          THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH INVITING THE, THE, THE, THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD TO COME AND, YOU KNOW, HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT WHAT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS MIGHT BE. SO. YEAH, I DON'T, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GO ABOUT GETTING THE SURVEY, BUT, BUT IF IT'S POSTCARDS, MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW. YOU KNOW, ARE THERE OWNER ASSOCIATIONS FOR THOSE. I'M SURE THERE IS THAT THAT D R BOARD, I DON'T KNOW. SO THAT MAY BE JUST A SIMPLE FUNCTION OF HEY, WE'RE LOOKING AT MAKING SOME INVESTMENT IN PARKS THAT ARE NEAR ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          WE'RE HAVING AN ADVISORY BOARD MEETING AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR INPUT OR WE'RE LOOKING TO SEE WHAT KIND OF INTEREST THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS IN THE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE PRESENTED. WILL LOOK TOWARDS A DIFFERENT PROGRAM ON THIS. AND WHAT IT LEADS INTO IT. 
          MOVING, MOVING. MOVING ON. YEAH. OKAY. SORRY. CAN YOU TELL IT'S MY FIRST ONE? ALL RIGHT. SO MOVING ON TO THE SECOND PART OF OUR PRESENTATION. B IS THIS CONCEPT IDEA OF INSTALLING THE ABILITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO MAKE RESERVATIONS WITHIN OUR PAVILIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. 
          THIS WOULD BE A COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY OPTION TO THE PUBLIC, BUT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO MAKE RESERVATIONS IN ADVANCE. THIS CREATES A MINUTE, BUT IT DOES CREATE A REVENUE STREAM FROM EXISTING PAVILION USAGE AND CAN CREATE THE A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT KIND OF TRAFFIC OUR PARKS ARE SEEING, ESPECIALLY ON WEEKENDS, SO WE CAN PLAN IN ADVANCE FOR JANITORIAL PURPOSES. BOOKING PAVILIONS IN ADVANCE OF THE DAY OF USAGE WILL ALLOW THE PUBLIC AN EASIER OUTLET FOR PLANNING THEIR DAY IN THE PARK. ESSENTIALLY, WE'VE SEEN WE'VE GOTTEN SOME GOOD FEEDBACK THAT PEOPLE. IN ORDER TO GET A PAVILION, THEY WILL OFTENTIMES ARRIVE MANY, MANY HOURS EARLIER. FOR THAT, WE'RE IT'S KIND OF A SIMILAR WHERE WE'RE ASKING THE BOARD TO APPROVE THE ASKING STAFF TO DEVELOP AND INCLUDE APPROPRIATE RESERVATION FEES IN THE FY 27 FEES AND FINES SCHEDULE PARKS. WOULD THIS APPLY TO YOU? INITIALLY, I WOULD SAY ANY PARK THAT HAS PAVILION AND RESTROOM OR RESTROOM USAGE IN THE. SORRY. 
          OH, SORRY. GO AHEAD. NO, THEY DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE TO RESERVE THEM. NO. AND THIS WOULD NOT MAKE RESERVATIONS MANDATORY. THIS WOULD JUST ALLOW THE OPTION TO MAKE PAVILION RESERVATIONS. SAY IT UNDER THE OAKS. DAVID W IRA HUTCHINSON. LIKE IF TWO PARTIES SHOW UP AT THE SAME TIME, ONE RESERVED IT, THE OTHER DID NOT. YES, IT WOULD BE. IT'D BE VERY MUCH AKIN TO WHAT WE DO WITH THE BEACH AND WEDDINGS. SO IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO RESERVE OR 
          [00:30:02]
WANTS TO RESERVE PARKING IN PARTICULAR, LIKE, LET'S SAY AT THE PIER OR EXCELSIOR PARK, THEY WANT TO GET MARRIED THERE AND THEY'VE GOT 30 CARS. THEY SAY WE'LL WE'LL CORDON OFF THE PLACE FOR THEM AND THEN WE'LL PROVIDE AND WE'LL GO DOWN TO THE BEACH AND WE'LL ROPE OFF THE AREA THAT THEY ARE USED TO DO THIS. AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK AND PICK IT UP. SO BASICALLY THEY'RE PAYING FOR OUR SERVICES JUST TO HELP THEM FACILITATE THEIR EVENT WITHOUT THERE BEING, YOU KNOW, CONFLICT, PEOPLE WALKING ALL OVER THEM AND ALL THAT STUFF. SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING WITH PAVILIONS. IF SOMEBODY WANTS US TO TAKE CARE OF THE GARBAGE AND, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S CLEAN ON THAT PARTICULAR SATURDAY OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT WE MIGHT NOT TYPICALLY GO BY THERE. THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT HE'S PROPOSING. 
          AND PEOPLE COULD ALWAYS CALL AND BE LIKE, IS THERE A RESERVATION? THEY SAY NO, AND YOU'RE LIKE, PERFECT. AND THEN JUST NOT RESERVE IT. YEAH, NO, IT'S JUST LIKE THE BASEBALL FIELDS. I MEAN, IF YOU GO OUT THERE AND YOU WANT TO TAKE THE TEAM OUT TO PRACTICE, AND IF YOU KNOW THERE'S NOBODY ON A PARTICULAR FIELD, THEY CAN GO OUT THERE AND DO IT. HOWEVER, IF SOMEBODY SHOWS UP THAT HAS RESERVED IT, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE. SO IT'S IT WOULD BE THE SAME THING AS THAT PROVIDES COMFORT TO THOSE WHO PLAN AHEAD. RIGHT, RIGHT. CAN YOU START WITH LIKE ONE PARK OR A COUPLE OF THEM BEFORE DOING ALL OF THEM AND SEE HOW IT GOES? SURE. ABSOLUTELY. I ONLY I'M THINKING ABOUT IT FROM LIKE MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES. 
          OBVIOUSLY THE FISCAL MONEY THAT ALWAYS HELPS. AND BUT THEN I THINK ABOUT PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY AND WANT TO, YOU KNOW, THE SINGLE MOM THAT DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY AND DOESN'T HAVE ACCESS AND CAN'T, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. AND WE DON'T AND THERE'S NOTHING TO SAY THAT WE HAVE TO DO EVERY PAVILION IN A PARK, FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE FURTHER OUTFIT SOME OF THE EXISTING PADS AND UNDER THE OAKS, WE DO HALF AS RESERVABLE AND HALF AS NON OR SOMETHING LIKE THERE'S A BALANCE THERE IN TERMS OF LIKE RESERVING THE PAVILION. I DON'T PERSONALLY, I DON'T SEE THIS GOING LIKE THE HIGH DOLLAR VALUE, LIKE LET'S USE ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY LOCALLY THAT CHARGES. I BELIEVE IT'S $70 TO RESERVE THEIR PAVILION. THERE'S A LARGE PAVILION, BUT NO, WE'RE THINKING MORE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 10 OR 15 SOMETHING THAT'S THAT'S MUCH MORE REASONABLE BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU'RE GETTING A TEN BY TEN WITH A PICNIC TABLE. YEAH, BUT SO YOU NEED YOU NEED A MOTION. 
          I MEAN, WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU APPROVE FIRST FOR PARK STAFF TO DEVELOP AND INCLUDE APPROPRIATE RESERVATION FEES IN THE 2020 AND THE 2027 FEES AND FINES SCHEDULE FOR PAVILION AND PICNIC RESERVATIONS. SO SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT THAT STAFF DEVELOP AND AN APPROPRIATE RESERVATION FEE SCHEDULE. AND THAT I THINK YOU BRING UP A VERY GOOD POINT. YOU DO THAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT OTHER MUNICIPALITIES WITHIN THE COUNTY MIGHT BE DOING. NOT THAT THAT HAS ANY EFFECT ON WHAT THE COUNTY HAS TO DO, BUT YOU MAY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THAT IS. SO THAT'S MY MOTION. THAT'S A LONG WINDED I SECOND. SO. TRAVIS THOMPSON, I. 
          THANK YOU FOR A. RIGHT HERE. A. FOUR VOTES FOR YES AND ONE NO VOTES. THANKS. THAT'S ALL THE STUFF THAT WE. THAT IS THOSE ARE THE TWO REQUESTING VOTES. YES. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MUCH PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. I THINK YOU'RE STAYING AT HOME. YEAH. 
          THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. YES. GO. FEEL BETTER? AT SOME LATER DATE. SURE. ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY. 
          YOU JUST SAW ME SLIDE THROUGH IT. THIS IS OUR LONGEST UPDATE YET, SO I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF. 
          WE'VE REALLY BEEN ACCOMPLISHING A LOT. THAT BEING SAID, WE'LL JUST KICK RIGHT OFF WITH THE BEACH STUFF. BEACH ACCESS SEVEN HAS WE'VE BEGUN THE REBUILD OF ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT FURTHER THAN IT IS NOW. THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ALL WEEK. THE REBUILD IS NEARING COMPLETION FOLLOWING THE APPROVAL OF THE REBUILDING WITHIN THE EXISTING FOOTPRINT. BEACH ACCESS 78 REBUILD PLANS HAVE BEEN CREATED. AND HERE WE HAVE THE THE PROPOSED BEACH ACCESS WITH T RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE. WHEN IT COMES TO 
          [00:35:05]
PLANS, RICKY WILL BE ABLE TO TALK AND ANSWER MORE QUESTIONS THAN I WOULD REGARDING THOSE AS HE SET THEM UP, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A GENTLE SLOPE WITH NO STAIRS AT HICKEY'S ADA OVERLOOK HAS BEEN COMPLETED. TOP RAILINGS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AND THE HEIGHT IS HAS BEEN SET SO THAT IF YOU ARE SITTING IN A STANDARD ADA WHEELCHAIR, YOU CAN SEE OVER AND OVER THE DUNES AND INTO THE GULF. THE BEACH CREW YARD HAS BEEN FOR THE MOST PART IS UP. WE HAVE MACHINERY STATIONED AND STAGED THERE, ALONG WITH THE ABILITY TO STORE TOOLS. THAT'S AT THE OLD PETE EDWARDS. WHAT ARE WE CALLING THAT NOW? IT'S THE OLD PETE EDWARDS FIELD. IT'S JUST TO THE WEST OF IT. AND YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY STILL OWNS THAT PARK. WE'VE GOT ROADS AND BRIDGES, HAS A BIG LAY DOWN YARD WITH DIRT AND EVERYTHING. AND THEN WE GOT THIS LITTLE SLIVER TO KEEP EQUIPMENT ON THE BEACH BECAUSE. WE HAD A COMMISSIONER. WELL, WE DIDN'T NEED TO KEEP THE STUFF THERE ANYWAY, BUT IT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT WE NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT BECAUSE WE WERE KEEPING ALL THE STUFF AT THE PIER OUT IN THE PARKING LOT, LIKE TRACTORS AND TRAILERS AND STUFF, BUT NOT, YOU KNOW, WAY OUT IN THE PARKING LOT. BUT ANYWAY, THIS, THIS IS A GREAT SOLUTION. AND WE MADE IMPROVEMENTS THERE. AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO PARK OUR STUFF THAT, YOU KNOW, RESTORE IT. SO IT WORKED OUT PRETTY GOOD. ABSOLUTELY. THIS IS THE NEW RICK SELTZER UPGRADES. IF YOU REMEMBER OUR LAST SLIDES, THAT WAS COMPLETELY THAT GAZEBO WAS COMPLETELY TORE OUT. THIS WAS ALL DONE ENTIRELY IN-HOUSE BY OUR PROJECTS, OUR PARKS PROJECTS TEAM, WITH SOME GENEROUS WORK FROM JASON BECK AND SOME SOME OF THE GUYS FROM THE PIER AS WELL. YOU CAN TELL THAT IT'S ENTIRELY DONE WITH COMPOSITE AS WELL AS PROTECTIVE FENCING, THE SEA TURTLE FENCING DOWN BELOW, PREVENTING ANY KIND OF FROM GETTING UNDERNEATH OF IT. WE ALSO DID ALL OF THE ALL THE WORK FROM THE EXISTING RESTROOMS ALL THE WAY UP TO THE GAZEBO, AGAIN, PROTECTED WITH THAT SAME FENCING AND ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BEACH FROM THE GAZEBO ON THE SOUTH SIDE. SO IT'S ALL BEEN REALLY REBUILT WITH THE COMPOSITE. SO AND ALSO RICK'S ALSO RIGHT NOW, WE'VE HAD SOME PLANS DRAWN FOR THE RESTROOMS. WE'VE REALLY NOT CHANGED A LOT, BUT WE WENT AHEAD AND GOT DRAWINGS DONE JUST SO WE CAN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GETTING NEW PARTITIONS AND THEIR NEW FIXTURES. WE'RE REDOING THE FLOORS AND WE'RE GOING TO PAINT THAT FACILITY A DIFFERENT COLOR. OTHER THAN THAT BROWN. SO BUT ANYWAY, YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS THERE BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BE KEEPING THAT PLACE FOR A WHILE. ALWAYS POPULAR SPOT DOWN AND BUILDING SOMETHING ELSE, BUT THAT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN FOR A LITTLE WHILE. SO WE'RE GOING TO PUT A LITTLE MONEY INTO IT AND UPDATE IT FOR SURE. 
          ABSOLUTELY. SO THIS IS THE MB MILLER PURE ACCESS THREE. THIS IS AT THE TIME OF THIS IT'S 99% COMPLETE. AT THE TIME OF THE PHOTOS, IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT 85% COMPLETE. ALL THE TOP RAILING IS DONE. THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL WALL RAIL AT THE VERY END THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS THE MATERIAL IS ON BACKORDER. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OPEN IT UP BY BARRICADING OFF THAT THAT EDGE WITH SOME. I GUESS, THEIR SAWHORSE BARRICADES. IT'S A IT'S A METAL BARRICADE BETWEEN THE SEATS. WITHOUT HER BRAIDS. THE METAL LOOKS LIKE IT FEELS LIKE A VERY NARROW BIKE RACK O BIKE RACK BARRICADES. OKAY. FAN RAILING HAD TO BE DONE ACCORDING TO CODE BECAUSE AT THE TIME THE DROP OFF WAS EXCEEDED THE SECURITY CODE. AND IT'LL ALSO FUNNEL PEOPLE TO THE ACTUAL OPEN. EVERYONE STAND THERE, THEY CAN LOOK OUT AND THEY WON'T INTERFERE WITH PEOPLE AT ALL. SO THIS IS A LAKE POWELL'S NEW RESTROOMS. THIS IS BEING DONE IN-HOUSE BY UTILITIES. NOPE. SORRY. IT'S NOT BEING IT'S NOT IN-HOUSE ACTUALLY. IT'S BEING MANAGED IN-HOUSE AS FAR AS CONTRACTING, BUT IT'S BEING DONE BY THE ENGINEERING DIVISION'S CAPITAL PROJECT. OR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, CAPITAL PROJECTS DIVISION. THIS HAS BEEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR SOME TIME. WE DID HAVE TO. THEY HAD TO PULL UP AN EXISTING SEPTIC AND RELAY A NEW SEPTIC SYSTEM. BUT IT IS COMING. COMING ALONG NICELY SHOULD BE OPEN BY THE END OF MAY. IS THE PROJECTION I'M HEARING. DAVID W HUTCHINSON HAS BEEN THREE NEW PAVILIONS CREATED OVER EXISTING SLABS THAT WERE DESTROYED BY HURRICANE MICHAEL. THEY HAVE. ADA WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE PICNIC TABLES, AND THEY WOULD BE SOME OF THE ONES THAT WE WOULD BE STARTING WITH OUR PAVILION RESERVATION SYSTEM. SO 
          [00:40:04]
ISLAND VIEW PLAYGROUND IS GETTING A BIT OF A FACELIFT, AND WHAT WE ARE DOING IS PROPOSING WE'RE GOING TO START WITHIN TWO WEEKS. OUR DEMO GUYS ARE STARTING NEXT WEEK TO REMOVE THE EXISTING PLAYGROUND. AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS YOU CAN SEE ON THE THE ONE SLIDE IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO COMBINE THAT THE NEW PLAYGROUND WITH THE EXISTING SWING STRUCTURES MOVING THE BORDER AND ALL OF THE MATERIAL SO THAT IT OPENS UP A LOT OF THE GREEN SPACE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THAT PLAY, ON THAT PLAYGROUND AREA, IT'S GOING TO BE RETURNED TO GRASS. AND THEN WE'LL AFTER THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO UPDATING SOME OF THE PAVILIONS THEMSELVES. NO PLANS TO USE ANY OF THE RESERVATION SYSTEMS HERE. THIS IS A MUCH SMALLER NEIGHBORHOOD PARK. THIS IS A LITTLE PARK IN KINGS POINT. I'D MAKE SOME UPDATE ON WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUNGSTOWN. YOU KNOW, SHOTS FROM THE BEACH. I'M NOT. I'M FROM NORTH COUNTY. THE PEOPLE ASK ME ALL THE TIME, WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE. YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW. I DRIVE BY THERE AND THEY GOT SIGNS UP THERE, THE PAVILION AND EVERYTHING, BUT I WOULD LIKE THEM TO GIVE US UPDATE ON. I'LL GET YOU ONE NEXT TIME. LIKE I SAID, WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT MANAGING THAT PROJECT. SO I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHERE THEY ARE. I MEAN, YOU KNOW ABOUT AS MUCH AS I DO, QUITE FRANKLY, BUT IT'S LIKE YOU WERE SAYING EARLIER WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT, IT'S GOING TO HAVE THOSE COMPONENTS I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO DO FOR THAT COMMUNITY UP THERE IS IT'S GOING TO GIVE THEM THE ABILITY TO HAVE FARMER'S MARKETS. AND, YOU KNOW, FOR RODEOS, HORSE SHOWS, CAR SHOWS, SHOWS AND ALL THAT STUFF. LIKE IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. WELL, SINCE I'VE BEEN AROUND, WE HAD, WE HAD SOME VERY SUCCESSFUL RODEOS THAT WERE BIG TRUCKS AND EVERYTHING. LIKED IT UP THERE BECAUSE THEY HAD A LOT OF ROOM TO PULL IN AND EVERYTHING. YOU KNOW, WE BOUGHT THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY RIGHT NEXT TO IT THAT'S SKINNY GOT THAT GIVES US, I DON'T KNOW, WE HAD 35 TO START WITH. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN INITIAL THING. SO WE'VE GOT NOW, I DON'T KNOW, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 50 AND 70 ACRES UP THERE. I, I'M NOT SURE, BUT DEFINITELY CLOSE TO 50. BUT, BUT YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE AND ALL I'LL GET WITH FRED AND GET YOU SOME. UPDATE ON IT. I GET PEOPLE ASK ME ALL THE TIME WHAT'S GOING ON AND I APPRECIATE IT. YEAH, BUT I'LL GET YOU SOME INFO. I LOVE THE BEACH, BUT I, I AND THE, THE COUNTY IS NORTH END. THAT'S WHERE I, I WAS INVOLVED IN THE INITIAL SELECTING THE PROPER SITE AND EVERYTHING THERE. SO I STILL HAVE SOME BUY IN ON THE THING, YOU KNOW, SO I LIKE TO KNOW I APPRECIATE IT. YEAH. SORRY. THE, THE FOUR SQUARE AND THE CONCRETE ARE GOING TO BE COMING UP TOO. AND THAT'LL BE SLIGHTLY PART OF THE, THE NEW FOOTPRINT FOR THE PLAYGROUND AND SWINGS, BUT IT'S GOING TO RETURN A LOT OF THAT PARK BACK TO A NATURAL GREEN SPACE. WE'RE LOOKING AT ZOYSIA GRASS FOR THE FOR THAT. AND THERE'S THE NEW EQUIPMENT THAT WILL BE GOING IN TO COMPLIMENT THOSE SWINGS. JASON, YOU HAVE FREE TIME RIGHT UP THERE. SOMETIMES YOU AND I, WE SORT OF. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THAT MUCH FREE TIME. IF YOU GOT MY PHONE NUMBER AND I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU, YOU CAN CALL ME. I DON'T LIVE WITH THAT. 
          FROM THERE, I CAN GET AHOLD OF YOU. GET AHOLD OF. HIM. WE CAN DO THAT. YOU KNOW, SORT OF FIND OUT WHERE I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO BE GOOD FOR THE COUNTY IS YOU HAVE THE EMERGENCY CENTER THERE IN CASE. HURRICANES COME AND THEY GET FURTHER OUT, FURTHER NORTH, OUT OF TOWN. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A PLUS FOR IT. SO I'M SAYING, YOU KNOW, THOSE COMMUNITY CENTERS, I'M ALWAYS UP FOR A FIELD TRIP BECAUSE LIKE I'M LOOKING AT THIS YOU RIGHT HERE. YEAH. 
          WHERE IT'S TALLER. SO IRA HUTCHINSON WAS, I THINK 99% COMPLETE AT THE LAST PARKS ADVISORY BOARD MEETING. THIS HAS THE FENCE AROUND IT. WE ARE WE'RE STEADY FENCING ALL OF OUR PLAYGROUNDS TO KEEP THE CHILDREN IN, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE WATER, WHICH IS A GOOD IDEA. 
          WHICH BRINGS ME TO ANOTHER VERY GOOD IDEA FOR CHILDREN AND OUR NEW LIFE JACKET LOANER STATIONS. 
          THIS IS A COMBINATION EFFORT WITH FPL SUN JAMMERS, DIXIE SUPPLY, PORTLAND LUMBER AND BAY DISTRICT SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE FREE LOANER LIFE JACKETS 24 HOURS A DAY. SO WHENEVER ANYBODY IS OUT THERE BY THE WATER, THOSE JUST KIND OF ARE THERE AND AVAILABLE. THEY'RE GOING IN AT LAKE POWELL AND THEY'RE GOING IN AT IRA HUTCHINSON. AND THE THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO DONATED THEIR TIME, THEIR MONEY, THEIR MATERIALS. OH, THIS WAS INITIALLY INITIATED AS A AN EFFORT WITH ARNOLD AND THEIR CONSTRUCTION CREW PROGRAM FOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS. THAT WAS THEN TAKEN OVER OVER THE SUMMER BY ANOTHER INSTRUCTOR THERE. BUT AS YOU CAN. I THINK THEY CAME OUT FANTASTIC. AND I ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS TO CHECK IT OUT NEXT TIME YOU'RE BY, IRA. OR IF YOU EVER GET OUT TO LAKE POWELL, IT'S REALLY, REALLY LIKE THOSE. OKAY, OKAY, SO THIS IS THE ISAAC BYRD NEW ASPHALT AND KAYAK LAUNCH PLANS. CURRENTLY TO THE LEFT IS 
          [00:45:04]
WE HAVE THE ISAAC BYRD NEW PAVILION AND THE NEW PLAYGROUND THERE. AND WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING TO NEW ASPHALT, THE ENTIRE LOOP AS WELL AS CREATING A KAYAK LAUNCH RIGHT THERE OFF OF NORTH BAY. HERE IS SOMETHING VERY EXCITING. SO HURRICANE MICHAEL TOOK OUT THE EXISTING FRONT HARDER'S FISHING PIER. AND WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO CREATE A GAZEBO CENTERED IN THAT FRONT POND WITH ACCESS ON BOTH THE EAST AND WEST SIDES OF THE POND. 
          I LIKE THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE GREAT. IT'S GOING TO AFFORD FISHING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH, AS WELL AS PHOTOGRAPHIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO COME DOWN THERE. I KNOW THE ONGOING THING IN THE OFFICE IS THAT BE A GREAT SPOT FOR WEDDING PHOTOS. THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING. MAGIC PLAYGROUND HAS COMPLETED ITS FENCING INSTALLED, I BELIEVE AT THE LAST MEETING WE WERE STILL ABOUT 99% WITH JUST WAITING ON THE FENCING. AND IT HAS IT. WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING NUMEROUS REQUESTS FOR SHADE. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO WE ARE LOOKING INTO THAT AS WELL. MOVING RIGHT ALONG THE SOUTHPORT BASEBALL COMPLEX OR THE SOUTHPORT RECREATIONAL COMPLEX, EXCUSE ME, OPENED TO SOME FANFARE. WE HAD THE BOZEMAN. ROTC COME OUT WITH THEIR COLOR GUARD. WE HAD THE OPENING DAY FOR B, C, Y, ESA. THEY HAD THEIR OPENING GAMES THERE AS WELL AS, YOU KNOW, WORDS FROM THE BOARD WAS THERE. THAT IS LINDSAY IVY FROM THE BC WISE. SHE RUNS THAT SHOW. AND OF COURSE VINCE MARTIN. THANK YOU TO THE BOARD OF COURSE FOR SHOWING UP AND SIGNING THOSE BASEBALLS AND EVERYTHING. ONE OF THEM WE HAVE PROUDLY DISPLAYED IN OUR OFFICE, I BELIEVE ANOTHER ONE IS IN THIS BUILDING, THE BASEBALL THAT WAS SIGNED. YEAH, I ENJOY THOSE COOKIES TOO. THEY HAD COUNT EM. YES, SIR. WE WERE HANDLING IT. 
          THERE WAS VINCE HANDING THOSE OUT AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE THE THE TEAMS THAT SHOWED UP AND THOSE GAMES LASTED ALL DAY LONG. IT WAS A REALLY, REALLY BRIGHT MOMENT FOR FOR THE COUNTY AND FOR YOUTH BASEBALL. AND WE HAD MANY KIDS IN THE WHOLE COUNTY THERE. THEY MUST HAVE BEEN A GAZILLION OF KIDS EVERYWHERE. I'VE NEVER SEEN THE. IT WAS GREAT. GREAT. SERIOUSLY, I THOUGHT, I THOUGHT, I THOUGHT LITTLE LEAGUE, YOU KNOW, FOR A WHILE THEY SEEMED LIKE LITTLE LEAGUES DYING OUT. BUT I THINK WE HAD A RESURGENCE OF IT. WELL, LAST WEEK WE HOSTED OUR FIRST TOURNAMENT THERE. IT WENT OVER VERY WELL. THEY LIKED IT SO MUCH THEY BOOKED US AGAIN IN JUNE AS WELL AS, LOOK, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BE THE THE FOCAL POINT FOR GRAND SLAMS NEW SOFTBALL DIVISION. THEIR BASEBALL WILL PLAY AT FRANK BROWN PARK AND PUBLIC SPORTS COMPLEX, BUT THEIR GIRL'S FAST PITCH WILL BE AT SOUTHPORT FOR THEIR WEEK LONG TOURNAMENT IN JUNE. OKAY, I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT'S BROUGHT THIS UP, BUT GETTING OUT OF THEIR. ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, ARE THERE GOING TO BE IS THERE GOING TO BE LIKE A LIGHT OR. 
          OKAY, OKAY, SO WHAT HAPPENED THERE WAS IS THAT'S THE CO-OP. THE CO-OP IS BASICALLY PUTTING OFF, YOU KNOW, LONG TIME AGO WHEN WE GOT THIS PROJECT TOGETHER, THEY, WE WORKED TO DEAL WITH THEM LIKE WE DID WITH MOST PLACES ON THE STREET LIGHTING, PARKING LOT LIGHTING. 
          THEY'RE GOING TO, THEY'RE PROVIDING ALL OF THAT AND INSTALLING IT. AND THEN WE PAY FOR IT THROUGH OUR BILLING PROCESS, RIGHT OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS. WORKS OUT BETTER THAT WAY, REALLY TO DO IT. BUT ANYWAY, THEY IT'S ON, IT'S ON THE CO-OP LINES. THESE LIGHTS ARE NOT ALREADY IN. AND I WENT OUT THERE TODAY AND THEY ARE PUTTING THEM IN, I WOULD SAY IN TWO WEEKS. OKAY. YEAH. BUT ABSOLUTELY THERE'S THERE'S GOING TO BE LIGHTS. THAT'S THAT'S THE PROBLEM. YEAH. BUT WE WERE PUSHED TO OPEN THIS THING. THERE'S A LOT GOING ON TO GET GET EVERYTHING DONE. YEAH. WELL BEFORE THIS DAY WAS PLANNED THAT THAT WAS THE DAY THAT WE HAD SCHEDULED. AND I DIDN'T GET ANY WORD ABOUT THAT UNTIL A WEEK BEFORE THAT. I COULDN'T STOP THE TRAIN, SO WE HAD TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN IT. AND MUCH TO MY CHAGRIN. AND ANYWAY, THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE. OKAY, SO THERE'LL JUST BE LIKE A REGULAR STOPLIGHT, ALL THAT STUFF THERE OR THERE WON'T BE A STOPLIGHT. OKAY? IT'LL JUST BE LIT. YEAH. AND WE MIGHT HAVE TO IMPROVE THE LIGHTING ONCE IT'S DONE. WE'LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT, WHAT THEY PUT IN THERE. I MEAN, IT'LL BE JUST THERE. NICE LOOKING STREET LIGHTS, BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE LIKE FLOODLIGHTS OR ANYTHING. SO IF WE IF WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO PUT SOME LIGHTS UP THERE AROUND THE SIDE, IF WE HAVE TO GET SOME DIFFERENT TYPE OF LIGHTING, PUT ON THOSE POLES UP THERE BY THE FRONT, WE WILL, BUT WE NEED TO SEE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE WHEN WE GET THEM IN BEFORE WE START GOING DOWN THAT ROAD. BUT YEAH, I KNOW IT'S, IT'S AN INTERESTING PLACE TO GET IN AND OUT OF, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, I CAN ASSURE YOU. YEAH. BECAUSE THERE'S NO LEFT LANE EITHER. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE GET ALL ANTSY AND THEN THEY RUN OUT IN THE 
          [00:50:02]
MEDIAN. SOMEONE'S TRYING TO TURN IN. IT STARTS TO BECOME. AND YOU CAN'T SEE. YEAH, WE WE'VE GOT A LOT THAT UP. SO IF IT, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE MORE LIGHTING, WHICH IT PROBABLY WILL, WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT. THE, THE CO-OP WILL FOR SURE. SO. ALWAYS THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE. SO WE HAVE DONE A PAVILION RESTORATION AT UNDER THE OAKS. WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT LATER. BUT RIGHT NOW WE'VE BASICALLY REDONE THE RAILINGS, TOP RAILS AND GIVE IT A NICE COAT OF PAINT AND SPRUCE IT UP A LITTLE BIT. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE HOST FOR ONE OF OUR BAY COUNTY SUMMER BAY COUNTY CONCERT IN THE PARK SERIES. SO UNDER THE OAKS IS GETTING PICKLEBALL COURTS. THEY'RE GOING TO BE TWO COURTS WITH. DISABILITY PARKING CENTERED ON THE PARKER SIDE OF THE PROPERTY LINE. AND IT WILL BE END OF SUMMER BEFORE RIGHT AROUND THEIR COMPLETION. AND THEY'LL BE UP AND READY FOR THE THE FALL SEASON. AS IT IS A LOT OF YOUTH, I AM CERTAIN IT WILL GET. ME TOO. HAVE YOU SEEN THE TRENDING? IT'S. IT'S PRETTY BONKERS HOW MUCH THEY LOVE THEIR PICKLEBALL. SO IT'S ALL YOUNG. SPEAKING OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING THERE, THESE ARE THE TWO PAVILIONS INSIDE OF THE DOG PARK. SO THE THE BIG DOG AND THE LAZY DOG PARKS, THEY'RE EXCELLENT PAVILIONS WITH NEW PICNIC TABLES. AND THEY'RE JUST THE FIRST OF A COMPLEMENTARY SERIES OF AMENITIES THAT WE'LL BE ADDING THERE AS DIFFERENT THINGS COME ONLINE THROUGH DIFFERENT FISCAL YEARS. EASTER HG HARDY'S PARK WAS FANTASTIC. 
          WE HAD OVER 12,000 EGGS. I WOULD HAVE PUT THE CROWD AT ABOUT 1500 TO 2000 PARTICIPANTS. 
          NUMBER OF. FOOD TRUCKS AND OF COURSE THE EASTER BUNNY STAYED THE ENTIRE TIME. HARD TO FIND, DIDN'T YOU? A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE BIT HARD TO FIND A KID THAT DOESN'T HAVE ONE STEPPING ALL OVER ME. THE LAST UPDATE THAT WE HAD, WE HAD JUST COMPLETED THE CROWD MANAGEMENT TRAINING, AND THAT CAME IN VERY HANDY. DURING THE DISCUSSIONS ON HOW TO SET UP, WE EXPANDED OUT OF ONE EVENT SPACE INTO TWO FIELDS AND REMOVED SOME OF THE BOTTLENECKING THAT OCCURRED. IT WAS THIS ONE WENT OFF WITHOUT A HITCH. IT WAS FANTASTIC. DE ANZA SANTIAGO WILL KICK START OUR CONCERT IN THE PARK SERIES. SHE SINGS A LITTLE BIT OF MIX OF ECLECTIC BLUEGRASS, CUBAN AND COUNTRY MUSIC. SHE'S ACCOMPANIED BY A SIX MEMBER BAND, AND THAT WILL BE AT THAT PAVILION THIS SATURDAY, 5 TO 8. I ABSOLUTELY ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS TO COME OUT. SHE'S SHE'S AN AMAZING PERFORMER. AND THEN GETTING INTO FEEDBACK AND THAT STUFF, THAT'S IT. I GOT A COUPLE THINGS I HADN'T TALKED ABOUT AT ALL. AGENDA THAT I SHOULD HAVE PUT ON THERE. AND I'VE BEEN WRAPPED UP. I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH. THANK YOU. I UNDERSTAND. SO A COUPLE THINGS THAT ARE REALLY INTERESTING. AND ONE OF THEM IS VERY MUCH STILL IN THE WORKS. WE'LL BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION. THERE'S A AN OPPORTUNITY CAME UP ON DEER POINT LAKE RIGHT TO ADJACENT BASICALLY TO OUR HUTCHINSON PARK WHERE WE CURRENTLY HAVE THE BOAT LANDING. AND SO THERE'S THIS, I'LL CALL IT A COMPANY, BUT IT'S TRUST FOR PUBLIC LANDS. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THEM, BUT THEY BASICALLY THEY BROKER DEALS BETWEEN MUNICIPALITIES AND LANDOWNERS THAT WANT TO SELL THEIR LAND. AND MAYBE THEY ARE NOT, I DON'T KNOW. WE'RE THIS IS WE'RE. SO ANYWAY, THERE'S 55 ACRES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. THIS IS BASICALLY TWO THIRDS OF IT IS WATERFRONT RIGHT THERE BY THAT PARK. AND MY THING AND MY THING WAS, IS, YEAH, THAT WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE THAT LANDING IN IRA HUTCHINSON IS TERRIBLE. AND IT'S JUST, IT'S UNUSABLE MOST OF THE TIME BECAUSE IT'S SO SHALLOW. SO IF WE GO BACK AROUND TO THIS PROPERTY, IT THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE LAKE IS A LOT DIFFERENT AND IT'S A LOT DEEPER. AND IT'S 55 ACRES. AND THAT THERE'S A LITTLE PART THAT'S AWAY FROM THAT BIG PART. THAT'S PART OF THE DEAL THAT WE COULD THAT WOULD BE CONTIGUOUS WITH OUR HUTCHINSON. ANYWAY, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ORIGINAL COST WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS 1 MILLION, $80,000 FOR 55 ACRES. NOW IT'S GOT SOME WETLANDS ON IT, BUT WE COULD CERTAINLY USE THAT PROPERTY. SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE DEAL THAT THE COMMISSION IS LOOKING AT RIGHT 
          [00:55:01]
NOW. AND WE JUST IT WAS IN BETWEEN BOARD MEETINGS OR. I ALREADY BROUGHT IT TO YOU, YOU KNOW, FOR YOUR BLESSING FOR SURE. BUT THAT THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT. WE HAD TO KIND OF GET GOING ON THIS. I THINK THE. I CAN'T REMEMBER NOW, BUT IT'S JUNE 30TH. I THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE A CONTRACT WITH A CLOSING BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR, WHICH I KNOW THAT SOUNDS WEIRD, BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID TO ME THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO THEM. SO ANYWAY, WE'VE GOT THAT GOING ON AND THEN I DON'T RECALL IF WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS AT THE LAST MEETING, BUT WE HAVE CONTRACTED OUT THE PIER OPERATIONS TO COASTAL PARASAIL, WHO DOES ALL THE BEACH SERVICES OUT THERE NOW, AND IT'S SAVING US A LOT OF MONEY DOING THAT. SO THEY'RE GOING TO OPERATE THE PIER. 
          THEY'RE GOING TO DO ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON THE PIER OTHER THAN OTHER THAN WHAT WE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, LIKE THE ROOF SYSTEMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THE BIG STUFF. BUT AS FAR AS THE GENERAL MAINTENANCE, CUSTODIAL, THE TAKING THE TICKETS OR TAKING PEOPLE'S MONEY TO GO ON THE PIER, MANAGING WHAT GOES ON ON THE PIER, THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT. 
          SO BASICALLY THAT OPENED UP SIX POSITIONS TO USE ELSEWHERE. AND WE'RE PAYING HIM $300,000 A YEAR TO DO THIS, WHERE WE WERE ON THE HOOK FOR 475 WITH OUR STAFF AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF. 
          SO, RIGHT, THERE'S $175,000 THAT WE'RE IN. GOOD. AND HE'S GOING TO PAY. HE'S NOW PAYING US, WHICH HE WAS PAYING US $30,000 A YEAR FOR LEASING THE BAIT, THE TACKLE SHOP OUT THERE AND FOR THE BEACH SERVICES. HE'S NOW PAYING US 130. SO WE'RE DOING WE'RE DOING PRETTY GOOD THERE NOW. SO IS IT THE ON SITE ADDRESS? PINDAR? INDEED. SO HE DOES A GREAT JOB. HE DOES. 
          HE DOES A GREAT JOB FOR US. AND WE'RE REALLY HAPPY TO HAVE HIM OUT THERE. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY GREAT THING. SO JASON HALL AGO WAS 80,050 SOMETHING ACRES. IT WAS 55. YEAH. BECAUSE ANYTIME WE CAN GET THAT BIG A PIECE OF LAND, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T HAVE TOO MANY MILLION DOLLARS FEELING THIS PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA JUST TO GET IT FOR FUTURE. 
          WELL, WE'LL HAVE TO USE SOME FILL DIRT FOR SURE, BUT WE I THINK THAT THE COST OF THAT IS GOING TO BE SOMEWHAT NEGLIGIBLE TO THE. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD DEAL ON 55 ACRES, I THINK. SO I, IT REALLY STRUCK ME AS BEING ONE. BUT, BUT THE. AND IT'S NOT A DONE DEAL YET. I JUST WANT TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT WE'RE. THE COUNTY IS LOOKING AT IT AND IT COULD BE A. AND THIS IS YEARS DOWN THE ROAD THAT WE WOULD PROBABLY MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT OF THAT SIGNIFICANT. BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT DEFINITELY IS GOING TO BEON THAT, I CAN'T. AND LET'S SEE, ONE OTHER THING. I CAN'T THINK OF IT ANYWAY, THAT'S THE TWO MAIN THINGS I WANTED TO BRING UP AND BRING Y'ALL'S ATTENTION. SO WANTED TO GET THEM IN THE MINUTES SO WE'D HAVE THEM. AND I FOLLOW UP WITH SCOTT ON IT TOO. SO HE HE'S AWARE OF THAT. 
          SO ANYWAY, THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. EVERYTHING. YES, MA'AM. WELL, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN SECOND. OKAY. I, I FORGET WE HAVE TO.
