Jul 11, 2022 Parks Commission

[A. CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:08]

MEETING. >> STAY >> WE CAN BEGIN BY ASKING IF WE HAVE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISH TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE COMMISSION, I DON'T SEE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE HERE TODAY, SO, WE WILL ASSUME THAT NO ONE WISHES TO DO THAT. THE MINUTES

[1. Adoption of Minutes]

>> I'LL DO A MOTION TO ACCEPT. >> OKAY. >> THERE'S A MOTION TO ACCEPT

THE MINUTES AS PRESENTED. IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND.

>> AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. >>

(CHORUS OF AYES) >> ANY OPPOSED? >> CHAIR KEELING: OKAY, THOSE MINUTES ARE ACCEPTED. WE'LL MOVE INTO OTHER BUSINESS AT THIS POINT. THE FIRST ITEM UNDER

[1. Attendance Policy and Future Appointments]

WE ARE, WE HAVE A BYLAW PROSIGNIFICANTS, SECTION 2.5, THAT EXCEPT IN CASE OF ILLNESS SHALL BE REMOVED FROM THE COMMISSION. SO, THAT'S WHAT OUR BYLAWS SAY.

AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO, WE COULD, I THINK FOR OUR AGENDA PURPOSES TODAY, WE COULD DISCUSS THAT. WE, AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON THAT, WHICH I THINK COULD INCLUDE WHATEVER THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO DO IN TERMS OF THAT. IF WE WANT TO CONSIDER TABLING IT AND CHANGING OUR BYLAWS, WE COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE COULD GO AHEAD AND TAKE THAT ACTION AND HAVE THOSE PEOPLE STAND FOR REAPPOINTMENT. IF THAT'S WHAT THE COUNCIL WOULD DO. I KNOW IN JESSE'S CASE IN PARTICULAR, YOU'VE HAD SCHOOL AND STUFF, IT'S BEEN DIFFERENT, BUT, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE SCHEDULE MAY HAVE CHANGED SOME WHICH MAY ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT YOU'VE HAD BEFORE. SO, IF THAT'S THE CASE, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE IF THERE'S A WAY TO PRESERVE YOUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE ON THE BOARD. BUT, I THINK IT'S A BOARD DECISION THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE TOGETHER. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE CONSTRAINED TO A PARTICULAR COURSE OF ACTION EXCEPT THAT THAT'S WHAT OUR BYLAWS SAY RIGHT NOW. WE WOULD HAVE TO AMEND THE BYLAWS, ADOPT SOME SORT OF A WAIVER, OR GO AHEAD AND, YOU KNOW, HAVE THOSE REMOVED. THOSE

MEMBERS REMOVED. >> WHOSE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK? >> .

>> CHAIR KEELING: WELL, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SPREADSHEET ATTACHED, THERE ARE 12 MONTHS OF MEETINGS, AND THE NUMBER OF ABSENCES FROM EACH MEMBER DURING THAT 12 MONTHS, IF YOU MISSED A THIRD OF ALL REGULAR MEETINGS, WHICH WOULD BE FOUR MEETINGS, THERE ARE THREE COMMISSIONERS WHO HAVE MISSED FOUR OR MORE MEETINGS, ONE WOULD BE JUSTIN, GAIL, AND JESSE. YOU KNOW, TO COMPLY WITH THE BYLAWS AS WRITTEN NOW, WE WOULD BASICALLY SAY THOSE THREE COMMISSIONERS WOULD BE REMOVED AND EITHER HAVE TO BE REAPPOINTED OR NOT, WHATEVER HAPPENED.

ALTERNATIVELY, THE ISSUE IS WE SHOULD TABLE THIS AND CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT TO THE BYLAWS IF THAT'S WHAT WE WANTED TO DO, OR WE COULD I THINK THIS PROBABLY IS THE ISSUE, I DON'T KNOW TO AMEND THE BYLAWS, I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR AMENDMENT. HANG ON ONE SECOND.

>> IT'S ON THE LAST PAGE. >> CHAIR KEELING: I SEE IT. >> AND I KNOW.

>> CHAIR KEELING: WE HAVE TO A WEEKS' NOTICE OF THE BYLAW CHANGE BEFORE THE MEETING. AND WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT. SO, I THINK THOSE ARE OUR OPTIONS, PROBABLY. EITHER, UM, LET'S TABLE IT AND ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO AMEND IT IN SOME WAY. OR,

[00:05:03]

HOWEVER THE COMMISSION FEELS ON THAT I THINK IS WHAT WE AUTO DO. SO, I'LL OPEN THE FLOOR.

>> I DID JUST NOTICE SOMETHING, FOR THE SAKE OF, IT SAYS SEPTEMBER 2022, AND I WAS LIKE "WAIT, HOW DID WE GET TO SEPTEMBER OF 2022? ". I THINK THAT'S SUPPOSED TO SAY SEPTEMBER 2021 ON THERE. I THINK THAT THE WAY THE BYLAWS STAND, IF YOU CAN'T MAKE A THIRD OF THE MEETINGS, AND I UNDERSTAND, LIKE, JESSE, WITH YOU, YOU HAD SOMETHING WITH SCHOOL THAT CAME UP, AND NOW THAT'S GONE, BUT, I DON'T NECESSARILY THINK THAT WE SHOULD CHANGE THAT, BECAUSE, I THINK THAT HAVING A QUORUM AT ALL THE MEETINGS IS IMPORTANT AND HAVING AN ENGAGED BOARD IS IMPORTANT. I THINK THAT SPEAKING TO SOMEBODY THAT'S MISSED THREE MEETINGSES, I'M RIGHT ON THE EDGE THERE TOO. I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE, YOU KNOW, NINE OF THE 12 MEETINGS IN A YEAR, THAT'S JUST MY TWO CENTS, IN ORDER TO HAVE A WELL FUNCTIONING BOARD. NOW, CIRCUMSTANCESWISE SICKNESS AND ILLNESS AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, THAT STUFF HAPPENS. I HAVE KIDS AND THEY GET SICK AND MOM CAN'T HANDLE ME BEING GONE ALL DAY AND THEN TWO HOURS AT NIGHT. IT'S HARD, TO WHEN DO YOU START TO ENFORCE IT, BECAUSE IT BECOMES AN ISSUE, YOU WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE A CHANCE NOW THEY'VE BEEN PUT ON NOTICE, I GUESS.

>> AND AGAIN, IF YOU AMEND IT, YOU CHANGE THE FRACTION, HOW DO YOU DO THAT? P SO, ANYWAY, ANY

OTHER THOUGHTS? >> YEAH, SO, I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SAY THAT PER THE BYLAWS IF IT'S MISSED MORE THAN A THIRD OR THREE IN A ROW, THEY'RE ASKED TO RESIGN THE POSITION, BUT THEN

THERE'S OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO BE REAPPOINTED? >> I THINK THAT'S RIGHT. I

DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY REASON NOT TO DO THAT. >> THE REASON I'M ASKING IS ISN'T IN THE CASE THAT WE LET THE BYLAWS STAND AND WE HAVE THE PEOPLE BE REAPPOINTED, WE IN THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT GET TO ASK, WHAT HAPPENED HERE, MAY BE THERE'S A REASON TO REAPPOINTMENT SOMEONE. IN JESSE'S CASE, IT WAS A SCHEDULE CHANGE, AND IF THAT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM IN 2024, AND THE ANSWER IS YES, THEN, SORRY, YOU NEED TO STEP DOWN. BUT, IF NOT, IT'S LIKE, HEY COME BACK. THE BYLAW SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD RULE OF THUMB FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, IF A PERSON CHOOSES TO STAY ON. THAT'S HOW IT WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE. IT'S ALL VOLUNTARY.

>> IT SHOULD ALSO DEPEND ON HOW MANY TIMES PARKS AND RECREATION SWITCHES IT UP. THEY SOMETIMES CHANGE IT FROM ONE DAY OR ANOTHER T OR, THEY MAY HAVE IT AT ANOTHER SPOT. SO, WHEN DO YOU START TO PUT SOME PRESSURE TO THE PARTS TO KEEP IT CONSISTENT ON THEIR TIMES, YOU

KNOW, CANCELLATION, SCHEDULING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. >> THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT.

>> I AGREE WITH THAT. >> AND MAY BE, TOO, EMAILS NOT COMING THROUGH, AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN THEY'RE PUTTING UP THESE NUMBERS. I

DON'T KNOW IF THEY DID THAT. >> AND IT SAYS THREE IN A ROW, I DON'T THINK I'VE MISSED THREE IN A ROW, I MAY HAVE MISSED FOUR ALL TOGETHER BUT NOT THREE IN A ROW.

>> BUT THE BYLAW PROVISION IS EITHER OR, THREE CONSECUTIVE MEETINGS, OR A THIRD OF ALL REGULAR MEETINGS IN A 12-MONTH PERIOD. SO, IT'S EITHER THREE TOGETHER OR FOUR TOTAL.

>> AND I THINK WHAT LAURIE SAYS STANDS TRUE. IF THERE'S EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, THE

[00:10:01]

>> THERE IS A CONDITION IN THE CASE OF ILLNESS, IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE

COMMUNICATED WITH PARKS AND RECREATION. >> WHICH ONE OF THESE DATES

WERE RESCHEDULED? >> MARCH WE HAD A WORKSHOP, ON A SATURDAY.

>> WHICH EVERYBODY WAS AT. >> I DON'T THINK THIS SCHOOL YEAR.

>> THIS OCTOBER. >> VALENTINE'S DAY WAS A RESCHEDULE.

>> WAS THAT? >> BECAUSE IT WAS VALENTINE'S DAY.

>> FEBRUARY. >> AND I LIKE THAT, THE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IN MY OPINION, TOO, IS THE WORK BEING DONE, WHICH JASON KNOWS ABOUT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING OUT IN THE COMMUNITY ON THEIR PERSONAL TIME, MEETING WITH PEOPLE, GIVING THEM FEEDBACK, VISITING PLACES, FIELDS, BRINGING COMMUNITY MEMBERS TOGETHER. I

KNOW GAIL DOES QUITE A BIT. >> AND COULD HAVE MORE INVOLVEMENT THAN JUST SITTING

HERE COMING FOR A VOTE. >> BECAUSE THERE'S ALSO PEOPLE THAT CAN SHOW UP AND GIVE AN OPINION AND ALL THAT, BUT IT'S NOT WORTH THEIR TIME THROUGHOUT THE MONTH TO DO THE GROUNDWORK TO GAIN THE INSIGHT TO REALLY REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY. BUT THEN, YOU ALSO HAVE TO BE HERE, LIKE I SAID, BUT, FOR EXAMPLE, GAIL DOES HOW MANY THINGS UP THERE, BUT, HOW MUCH HAS SHE

DONE, TOO, FOR VICTORIA PARKS? THAT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE. >> MY ONLY QUESTION, JUSTIN, IS HOW DO WE PUT THAT INTO A POLICY, WHEN WE HAVE A BLACK AND WHITE POLICY THAT SAYS, YOU

KNOW, SAYS WHAT IT SAYS. >> COULD WE COME FORWARD WITH THIS?

>> CHAIR KEELING: HOW WOULD YOU PURPOSE TO AMEND THE BYLAWS TO TAKE THAT IN ACCOUNT, THAT'S A

HARD THING TO SPECIFY. >> (INAUDIBLE). >> WHOSE GIVEN AN OPINION AND

WHOSE OUT THERE PUTTING IN THE WORK? >> HOW DO WE PUT THAT INTO AN

OBJECTIVE. >> I THINK IT'S A REASONABLE POINT, BUT, WE'VE GOT TO EITHER REVISE THE BYLAWS, OR LIVE WITH THEM. AND IF THERE'S A PROPOSED REVISION.

>> NO REVISION. GO AHEAD. >> (INAUDIBLE) >> .

>> CHAIR KEELING: DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO. WHATEVER YOU GOT TO DO (INAUDIBLE)

>> LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S IN BLACK AND WHITE. >> MAY BE WE COULD HAVE COME FORWARD WITH THIS SOONER WITH THESE TALLIES TOO, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL.

>> CHAIR KEELING: WELL, WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE ACTION TONIGHT, THAT'S ANOTHER OPTION.

>> IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING. >> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING, YOU

MINE AS WELL DO IT, PEOPLE'S OPINIONS WON'T CHANGE. >> CHAIR KEELING: JESSE ?

>> OUR SPECIALTIES THAT WE HAVE, AND THE PROMOTIONS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING FREELY IN THE COMMUNITY AND PROMOTING THE PARKS AND RECREATION, BECAUSE IT TAKE AS TEAM NOT JUST ONE ENTITY. AND WITH THE ENTITY, IF WE HAVE THESE MEETINGS, MAY BE THERE SHOULD BE MORE TIME TO MAKE THESE CONSIDERATIONS. LIKE, IN MY CASE NOW, HAVING CLASSES ON MONDAYS, INSTEAD OF GETTING ON A FRIDAY NOTICE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEN THAT GIVES ME TIME TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH MY CLASS AND SAY, HEY, I'LL BE 30 MINUTES LATE, AND THEY WILL WORK WITH ME SO THAT I COULD BE ON THE MEETINGS SO THAT WAY I COULD GET HOME AND GET ON ZOOM. AND I THINK THAT THE BYLAWS SO STAY AS THEY ARE, BUT I ALSO THINK THAT WE SHOULD HAVE LEADWAY TO MAKE

ARRANGESMENTS TO BE HERE ON THESE DAYS. >> WHAT IF WE DID I MEAN, AND JUST SHOOTING FROM THE HIP, BUT WHAT IF WE WERE TO SAY THAT UM, IF WE WERE TO ENFORCE THE

[00:15:03]

THOSE MEMBERS FOR ANOTHER TERM. >> IF THERE'S SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO COME AND BE HERE AND WANT TO GIVE IT THEIR ALL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S FINE WITH ME, I'M PROBABLY STILL BE OUT THERE

DOING WHATEVER. >> CHAIR KEELING: I WOULD LIKE TO, MY PERSONAL VIEW IS THAT I WOULD REALLY WANT TO KEEP YOU GUYS INVOLVED ON THIS. I DO. I MEAN, I THINK ALL OF THAT IS TRUE, AND LIKE I SAID, I THINK IN JESSE'S CASE, I KNOW THAT YOU ARE SCHEDULE'S CHANGED.

>> YOU KNOW, WHAT SIR, I THINK ALL OF US BRING A GOOD SPECIALTY TO THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. AND IN MY CASE, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP WITH WRITING GRANTS AND THAT WAY WE'RE ABLE TO SHOW OUR

EXPERTISE THAT WE PUT INTO PARKS AND RECREATION. >> IF WE HAVE MEMBERS ON THIS COUNCIL THAT ARE BEING KICKED OFF OF THIS COUNCIL BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS, AND YOU WANT TO WRITE GRANTS AND BE ACTIVE, THERE'S A SPINOFF ORGANIZATION CALLED THE VICTORIA PARKS DIVISION THAT LEE CREATED JUST FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO BE DOING GOOD IN THE COMMUNITY. AND ACTUALLY, YOU HAVE MORE POWER, PERHAPSIOUS WITH THE VICTORIA PARKS COMMISSION BECAUSE YOU COULD GO OUT AND FUNDRAISE AND TAKE PROJECTS BY THE HEAD AND SEE THEM TO THE END. AND JASON'S AN ADVISOR ON THE COMMISSION, SO, MAY BE THAT COULD BE AN EXIT PLAN FOR COMMISSIONERS, MY TIME'S UP IN FEBRUARY, ANYWAY, BUT, THAT COULD BE AN OPTION TOO. TO JOIN THE VICTORIA PARKS COALITION. AND LEE AND MR. RIVERA WILL BE GOING OFF IN FEBRUARY AS WELL, TOO, I BELIEVE WE WERE EXTENDED TIME AND THAT WILL BE THE END OF OUR COMMISSION SERVICE.

>> CHAIR KEELING: AND I THINK LAURIE AND STEPHEN ARE UP FOR REAPPOINTMENT AS WELL. THAT'S

AN OPTION. >> WELL, YOU HAVE THE RULES, AND YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THEM.

AND ME, I'M FINE, IF SOMEONE WANTS TO COME AND PUT THEIR FOOT FORWARD AND SHOW UP TO THE MEETINGS. BECAUSE, YOU HAVE TO SHOW UP, AND LIKE I SAID, NONE OF THAT WILL CHANGE WHAT I DO

ANYWAY. >> HERE'S MY OPINION, YOU KNOW, I'M AGAINST CHANGING THE BYLAWS, BECAUSE NOW WE'RE TRYING TO FIX IT TO WHERE IT'S GOING TO CONVENIENCE US. WE KNOW THAT THE MEETINGS ARE ON MONDAY, I DO ACTIVE THINGS, BUT I DON'T USE MONDAY AS ONE OF MY DAYS TO BE ACTIVE. BECAUSE, IF I HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO BE HERE, I'M GOING TO TRY MY BEST TO BE HERE, BECAUSE I HAVE GAMES ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY, AND I CANCEL MY GAMES JUST TO BE HERE. AND THAT'S A PAYING JOB. SO, YOU KNOW, I MAKE ARRANGEMENTS, AND I DON'T SAY WELL, DON'T HAVE IT ON MONDAY, BECAUSE I WORK ON MONDAY. WE VOLUNTEER, WE'RE PART OF THIS COMMISSION, AND WE KNOW THAT THINGS ARE SAID ON MONDAY. AND WE GET NOTIFICATION, AND WHEN I DIDN'T GET NOTIFICATION, ALL I GOT WAS JESSICA, THERE WAS SOME GLITCH THERE IN THE E-MAIL, I ASKED IF WE WERE HAVING A MEETING AND SHE SAID SHE WOULD SEND ME AN E-MAIL. AND WE WORKED ON IT AND NOW I'M GETTING THE EMAILS. I THINK BYLAWS, EVERY ORGANIZATION HAVE THEIR BYLAWS AND ALL THE BYLAWS ALSO STATE IT IF YOU ARE ABSENT SO MANY TIMES, WE ASK YOU TO RESIGN OR STEP DOWN. THE BYLAWS SAYS IF YOU HAVE SO MANY ABSENCES AND AN EXCUSE, IF YOU ARE SICK, ONE OF MY ABSENCES, I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL, SO, UNLESS THEY ROLLED ME IN THE BED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE. AND I WAS HOPING TO BE HERE, BUT ONE DAY TURNED INTO FIVE DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL. I DON'T THINK THERE'S A NEED TO CHANGE THE BYLAWS, WE KNOW OUR RESPONSIBILITIES, AND SURE, WE'RE GOING TO CANCEL A

[00:20:04]

THERE'S ALWAYS EMERGENCIES. >> I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK TO SEE HOW MANY TIMES I WAS SICK THAT I CALLED HIM. SHOULD IT BE SIX OR SEVEN, BECAUSE IF NONE OF THOSE ARE TAKEN OFF, CLEARLY WHEN YOU

GIVE SOMEBODY NOTICE, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT OFF. >> THERE'S TIME WHEN I COMMUNICATED AND IT STILL SAYS THE SAME NUMBER. THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. SO.

>> BUT, I'M FINE, LIKE YOU SAID, WE HAVE THE LAWS AND WE SHOULD RESPECT THEM AND FOLLOW

THEM. >> RESPECT THEM. >> I THINK THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THAT WE DON'T NEED TO CHANGE THE BYLAWS, BUT AS FAR AS ENFORCING THEM, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO ENFORCE NOW, OR CAN WE SAY, HEY, GOING FORWARD, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO START TO ENFORCE THIS BYLAW, GOING FORWARD AND AGAIN, IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE I LITERALLY HAD THIS SAME CONVERSATION AT A BOARD MEETING LAST MONTH, AND WHAT WE DID, IT WAS AFTER, SAME THING, THREE ABSENCES, BECAUSE IT WAS A QUARTER OF THE MEETINGS, OR WHATEVER, AFTER THAT SECOND MISS, IN A ROW, THEY'RE CONTACTED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND SAYS "HEY, JUST, FYI, IT WOULD BE AFTER THE THIRD ABSENCE OR SECOND IN A ROW, AND SAY, HEY, YOU MISSED TWO, YOU'VE MISSED THREE, AND IF YOU MISS THE NEXT ONE, THAT'S AN AUTOMATIC

RESIGNATION, IS SOMETHING GOING ON. >>> MY QUESTION IS DO WE HAVE TO FORCE IT RETRO ACTIVELY, OR STATE THAT WE'RE GOING TO ENFORCE IT NOW AND MOVING

FORWARD." >> AND THAT COMMUNICATION IS KEY, TOO, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN

MISSING. >> I THINK IT'S UP TO US. I THINK AS A BODY, I THINK THAT, BUT I DO THINK THAT'S AN AMENDMENT, PROBABLY, TO THE BYLAWS, TO ADD NOTICE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I THINK THAT'S AN AMENDMENT TO WHAT THEY SAY NOW, THEY SAY WHAT THEY SAY NOW, AND THEY'VE SAID THAT SINCE, CORRECT ME, KIMBERLY, BUT, THEY'VE BEEN IN AFFECT FOR

THAT PERIOD OF TIME, RIGHT? >> AND IT IS FOR A 12-MONTH PERIOD. AND THESE...

>> YES, AND NOW THAT I'M READING AND REREADING AND READING AGAIN.

>> DO WE HAVE LAST YEARS' ROLL CALL? >> WELL, IT STARTED SEPTEMBER

OF LAST YEAR, BUT IT SHOULD BE STARTING IN JULY OF LAST YEAR. >> BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE TOO, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WOULD BRING UP A WHOLE OTHER LOTS OF ISSUES.

>> CHAIR KEELING: SO WE CAN -- >> SO, THE BYLAWS SHOULD HAVE STARTED TO BE REENFORCED LAST YEAR WHEN WE WERE DOING THE TEN-YEAR PLAN AND PEOPLE WERE MISSING. THAT'S WHEN YOU SHOULD

START REINFORCING IT AS OPPOSED TO NOW, WHY ALL OF A SUDDEN NOW? >> I THINK THAT WE SEEN THIS NOW BECAUSE WE HAVE A QUORUM NOT MEET AND WE HAVE CITY OFFICIALS BEING PAID TO BE HERE AND WE CAN'T VOTE ON ANYTHING, AND IT'S A WASTE OF TIME AND THEN, BECAUSE YOU STILL HAVE TO GO OVER THE INFORMATION, BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE ANY ACTION. I ALSO SERVE ON ANOTHER BOARD WHERE THIS JUST RECENTLY HAPPENED, THERE WAS A PERSON WHO HAD MISSED THREE CONSECUTIVE MEETINGS, HAD A GOOD REASON AND WE WERE ABLE TO REAPPOINT HIM, BECAUSE HE WANTED TO BE REAPPOINTED. BUT, AUTOMATICALLY, HE FELL OFF. BASED IT WAS A CITY BOARD, SO, HE FELL OFF AUTOMATICALLY, IT WAS NOT A CHOICE, HE WAS JUST NO LONGER SERVING BECAUSE HE HAD THREE CONSECUTIVE ABSENCES. SO, WE HAD TO REINSTATE HIS POSITION, AND WE VOTED AND DECIDED TO KEEP HIM. SO, I GET WHY IT'S NECESSARY, AND, IN DECEMBER, WE TALKED ABOUT NO JANUARY MEETING, BECAUSE THERE WAS GOING TO BE THE TAP WINTER GAMES. WE TALK ABOUT AT THAT SEPTEMBER MEETING, WE WOULD BE ADJUSTING THE DATES BECAUSE OF VALENTINE'S DAY. SO, IF YOU MISSED THAT MEETING, THEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN THE NEXT MEETING HAD BEEN, BUT, ALSO IT'S IN THE MINUTES, AND IF YOU READ THE MINUTES AND THE AGENDA WHICH ARE PRODUCED WEEKS IN ADVANCE, I HAVE A KID A THE HOME RIGHT NOW, WITH A 101 FEVER, I'M HERE, I JUST GOT OFF OF WORK AND I'M

[00:25:02]

>> KUDOS TO ASHLEY FOR NOT MISSING A MEETING, SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WITH PERFECT

ATTENDANCE. >> WELL, AT ONE TIME I HAD TO ATTEND VIA ZOOM.

>> YEAH, AND THEY TOOK THE ZOOM MEETINGS AWAY. >> IT'S THE OOPEN MEETINGS ACT THE CITY DENIED IT. IT'S A CONFLICT WITH THE OOPEN MEETING ACT WE WILL NOT BE GETTING THAT BACK. I KNOW BECAUSE I SERVE ON OTHER BOARDS AND THAT'S OVER BECAUSE IT'S A CONFLICT WITH THE

OPEN MEETINGS ACT. >> IT WAS AN ACCOMMODATION FOR PANDEMIC.

>> YES. SO, WHAT DO WE DO NOW? >> LET LEE PULL THE TRIGGER, HE HAS A PLAN.

>> CHAIR KEELING: WELL, IS THERE A MOTION. >> IS THERE A WAY TO GO, LIKE YOU SAID, NOT RETRO ACTIVELY, BUT MOVING FROM NOW ON, WE MAKE A DECISION THAT FROM NOW ON, IS

THAT, STARTING NOW, IF YOU MISS... >> I THINK IF THERE'S A WAY FORWARD IN THAT DIRECTION, IT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME, IT IS TO TABLE THIS FOR TODAY AND CONSIDER SOME SORT OF AN AMENDMENT TO ACCOMMODATE THAT. BECAUSE, I THINK, AND I MAY BE WRONG AND KIMBERLY, YOU MAY KNOW THIS, BUT DIDN'T WE ADOPT THESE BYLAWS IN THE BEGINNING?

>> THAT WAS BEFORE MY TIME HERE. >> I THINK IT WAS PRETTY MUCH A GOOD PORTION OF THE GROUP HERE, AND THEN I THINK A LOT OF IT PUT A DAMPER ON THE ZOOM WHEN WE STARTED GOING INTO THAT. BECAUSE, I KNOW THAT ON SOME MEETINGS, I WAS DOING THE CLASS BUT I WAS ON ZOOM AND I NOTICED ON THE MINUTES, I WOULDN'T GET CREDIT FOR BEING HERE ON ZOOM.

SOMETIMES THOSE THINGS COULD HAPPEN. BUT, WE HAD SOME HARD STUMPS BACK THEN. AND RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A SUPER, DYNAMIC, WELL DIVERSE GROUP HERE THAT BRINGS A LOT TO THE TABLE. IF WE GO, OKAY, THREE PEOPLE ARE OUT AND WE'RE MOVING ON, AND WE'RE GOING TO START OVER ALL AGAIN TO BUILD A TEAM AND THAT MAY TAKE YEARS. SO, HERE WE ALREADY HAVE A WELL-ROUNDED TEAM AND MAY BE AN OPPORTUNITY OF HELPING THIS GROUP OR GUIDING THEM FOR US TO SAY "OKAY, NO

MORE, LET'S DO THE BEST WE CAN. ". >> MAY BE START FROM THIS MEETING, BECAUSE WHEN I'M LOOKING AT, YOU SAID THREE COMMISSIONERS WERE UP FOR REELECTION OR REAPPOINTMENT, SOME OF US HAVE SERVED OUR TERMS ALREADY AND WE'RE ON OUR WAY OUT. SO, REALLY IF WE START TODAY, MAY BE IN THREE MACONTHS I'M ON THE WAY OUT. SO, IT DOESN'T MATTER. SO YOU HAVE REAPPOINTMENT, SO THEY KNOW THAT WE STARTED TODAY, AND THEY KNOW IF THEY COME BACK ON THE BOARD, IF THEY'RE REAPPOINTED, KNOW, THEY HAVE GOTTEN REAPPOINTED AND THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO BE AT THE MEETINGS. EVERYBODY'S AWARE OF IT NOW, AND SOME OF US WILL BE GONE AND SOME OF US FOR REELECTION, SO, REALLY TO DOESN'T EFFECT WHETHER WE STARTED THREE MONTHS AGO OR TODAY.

>> I SEE LEE'S POINT, IT'S NOT BYLAWS THAT THIS SHOULD HAPPEN. WE HAVE NOT TAKEN ACTION ON WHAT'S IN THE BYLAWS, SO, IF WE TAKE ACTION ON IT NOW, IT CAN BE SEEN AS GIVING PREFERENTIAL OR UNPREFERENTIAL TREATMENT TO SOME INDIVIDUALS. IT WOULD BE NICE IF IT WEREN'T A GOVERNMENT

ENTITY. >> LET ME SUGGEST THIS AS A POSSIBILITY. IF SOMEONE MADE A MOTION THAT WE WAVE THE APPLICABLITY OF THE PROVISION, AND THEN WE SIMPLY ASK THAT

[00:30:02]

HAPPEN. >> WHAT ABOUT A MOTION TO WAVE THE APPLICABILITY. AND WE TAKE THAT ACTION TONIGHT, I THINK THAT WE COULD DO THAT WITH WHAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US TONIGHT.

>> I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA, THE ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS WELL BECAUSE IT'S BEEN MENTIONED A COUPLE OF TIMES REGARDING COMMUNICATION IT'S WHERE IS AND HOW ARE THESE ABSENCES AND ATTENDANCE, I GUESS, BEING TALLIED AND COMMUNICATED WITH THE BOARD MEMBERS, IT WOULD BE NICE, IF THERE WAS SOME WAY, I KIND OF HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW MANY MEETINGS I'VE MADE IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS, BUT, I THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT'S LIKE, MAY BE IF IT'S ON THE ATTENDANCE, ON THE MINUTES THERE'S A THING WITH HOW MANY ABSENCES PEOPLE HAVE NEXT TO THEIR NAMES, I'M JUST THROWING OUT IDEAS.

>> I THINK ONE THING THAT WE COULD DO, I COULD SAY ALL OF THAT OTHER STUFF, BUT WE HAVE THE RULES AND WE SHOULD FOLLOW THEM: AND THAT'S IT, BECAUSE WE ADOPTED THOSE LAWS, BUT WHATEVER, IF MY THOUGHTS, IS HOW DID I GET TO FOUR, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AT THREE OR POSSIBLY AT TWO, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND MAY BE HAVE MANDATORY RSVP SO THEY COULD KNOW EXACTLY WHOSE GOING TO BE THERE. SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE YOU HAVE TO LET THEM KNOW AT LEAST TWO DAYS BEFORE OR SOMETHING, JUST DIFFERENT WAYS TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE. AND THEN, WHEN NEW MEMBERS COME, MAKE IT AND IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS, BUT STRESS IT MORE, LIKE "IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE TIME REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING OUT THERE, YOU COULD BE DOING A LOT FOR THE PARKS, BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE THESE MEETINGS, SPECIFICALLY, OR HAVE GOOD

REASON NOT TOO". >> AND IS IT EVERY FRIDAY PRIOR TO THE MEETINGS, EVERYONE SHOULD BE GET AGO MEETING WITH THE AGENDA ATTACHMENT, AND SO IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING THOSE, PLEASE

REACH OUT TO JESSICA, BECAUSE THAT MEANS SOMETHING'S WRONG. >> YEAH, BUT THAT'S LIKE A DAY

BEFORE THE MEETING, ONE BUSINESS DAY. >> I GUESS, I GOT TO SPEAK UP.

BECAUSE, I THINK THAT CITY STAFF HAS DONE A GOOD JOB OF COMMUNICATING WHEN THE MEETINGS ARE. THE MEETINGS ARE ON THE SECOND MONDAY OF EVERY MONTH. WHEN JESSICA HANDS OUT THE AGENDA, SHE ASKS EVERY TIME IF YOU CANNOT MAKE IT TO E-MAIL HER. I THINK IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO LOOK AT THE E-MAIL AND RESPOND HER BACK WHETHER I WOULD BE THERE. AND THE ONE TIME I WAS SICK, I WAS SICK ON A SATURDAY MORNING, I'M SICK AND COME OUT ON MONDAY.

>> DO YOU EVER GO OUT OF TOWN ON A LONG WEEKEND? >> WELL, YES. BUT WHEN I KNOW THERE'S A MONDAY COMMITMENT COMING UP, I'M EITHER PLANNING AROUND IT OR LETTING THEM KNOW IN ADVANCE. BECAUSE, I MADE THIS COMMITMENT TO SHOW UP HERE THE SECOND TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH. NOW, WITH THAT SAID, I THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOME CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO MEETINGS MISSED BECAUSE STAFF RESCHEDULED THE MEETINGS. I MEAN, I'M CURIOUS, I KNOW THAT WE ALL KNEW ABOUT FEBRUARY, BUT THE DATE CHANGED. WHICH, IF YOU'VE GOT HOTELS AND YOU HAVE OTHER IT THINGS AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE YOUR SCHEDULE AROUND. AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE'RE ADULTS, WE VOLUNTEER OUR TIME, WE KNOW WHAT THE COMMITMENT IS, WE KNOW WHEN THE COMMITMENT IS, I THINK THAT CITY STAFF HAS KEPT US UPDATED PRETTY REGULARLY ON WHEN THINGS CHANGE, A COUPLE OF MONTHS IN ADVANCE, AS SOON AS THEY KNOW. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM ADDING IT TO THE MINUTES, IF YOU WANT TOTALLY UP, HOW MANY, YOU KNOW, BUT, AGAIN, THE MEETINGS SHOW WHO WAS IN ATTENDANCE AND WHO WASN'T. I DON'T BELIEVE IN MAKING MORE WORK FOR STAFF BECAUSE WE CAN'T

DO OUR JOBS, I JUST DON'T. >> BUT, WITH THAT SAID, I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU, IN MAKING A

[00:35:07]

>> I'LL SECOND THAT. >> CHAIR KEELING: MOTION AND A SECOND ON THAT POINT. ANY

FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT? >> I WOULD WANT TO ADD THE STUFF THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT,

WITH THE... >> JUST HAVING, MY IN... >> COMMUNICATION, MORE

COMMUNICATION. >> THE MOTION IS BEFORE US. IT'S UP TO LAURIE TO AMEND THE

MOTION IF SHE ALLOWS AN AMENDMENT OR NOT. >> WE COULD SEE THAT AS

SEPARATE, I THINK, IF YOU WANT TO VOTE ON THAT MOTION. >> I THINK THAT'S THE DISCUSSION TO VOTE ON THIS MOTION OR ACCEPT A DIFFERENT MOTION OR ANOTHER MOTION.

>> CHAIR KEELING: SO ALL IN FAVOR OF LAURIE'S MOTION THAT'S BEEN SECONDED, SAY AYE.

>> (CHORUS OF AYES) >> ALL OPPOSED?

>> CHAIR KEELING: NONE OPPOSED. THAT MOTION CARRIES. AT THIS POINT, THE AGENDA ITEM IS STILL

OPEN, I SUPPOSE. SO, DID YOU WANT TO... >> BRIAN WORDED IT THE BEST.

CAN YOU REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID? >> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE COMMUNICATING TO THOSE MEMBERS THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO BE PER THE BYLAWS REMOVED, SOMEONE WAS TO LET THEM KNOW, AGAIN, I AGREE WITH YOU, WE'RE ALL ADULTS, WE SHOULD KNOW THESE THINGS, BUT IN AN ABUNDANCE OF COMMUNICATION, HEY, GAIL, YOU MISSED TWO IN A ROW, IF YOU MISS THIS NEXT MEETING, OR THAT WE'RE PUTTING IT ON THERE THAT YOU HAVE TWO ABSENCES, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE DO IT, BUT, AGAIN, I'M IN

FAVOR OF AN ABUNDANCE OF COMMUNICATION. >> CAN WE ASK STAFF WHAT KIND

OF AN IMPOSITION THAT WOULD BE? >> I MEAN... >> IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.

>> CHAIR KEELING: I'M NOT SAYING WE NEED TO ADOPT IT AS A BYLAW AMENDMENT, BUT I'M JUST

SAYING. >> AS A COURTESY, FOR SURE. IT'S PROFESSIONAL.

>> OKAY. >> I AGREE WITH LAURIE, JESSICA'S DONE A GREAT JOB, I LIVE BY CALENDAR INVITES. THE FACT THAT YOU SEND THE CALENDAR INVITE, I CAN ACCEPT IT AND YOU KNOW THAT I ACCEPTED IT, AND IT POPS UP WITH A 15-MINUTE REMINDER. THE SECOND MONDAY OF EVERY MONTH, I'M LEAVING THE OFFICE BECAUSE OF YOUR CALENDAR INVITE. SO, I THINK THAT'S SUPER HELPFUL. HAVING THE AGENDA BEFOREHAND BECAUSE THERE ARE THE BOARDS THAT YOU GET THERE AND SHOW UP AND YOU NEVER GET THE TIME TO READ THAT. AND I APPRECIATE THAT. AND I PUT THE PLACEHOLDER ON THE CALENDAR FOR OVER SECOND MONDAY. BUT, IF YOU COULD LET US KNOW, HEY, BRIAN, YOU'RE AT THREE ABSENCES, IF YOU MISS ANOTHER ONE, YOU'RE OFF COUNCIL. THAT'S HELPFUL.

>> AND THE NEW MEMBERS CAN EVEN HOLD EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE, LIKE, HEY, YOU KNOW, JUST BEFORE, LIKE, "HEY, IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT, MAY BE YOU COULD MAKE SOME TIME FOR SOMEBODY ELSE TO

COME ON." JUST HOLD EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE. YOU KNOW. >> DON'T TALK TO MORE THAN

THREE MEMBERS AT ONCE BECAUSE YOU'LL BE IN VIOLATION. >> OF THE OOPEN MEETINGS ACT.

>> I MEANT HERE, LIKE, IF YOU SEE THEM YOU COULD LET THEM KNOW THEY MISSED.

>> OKAY. I THINK, WE GOT PASSED THAT ONE. LET'S GO TO D-2, DISCUSS PROPOSED UPDATED

[2. Discuss proposed updated fees]

FEES. KIMBERLY, I GUESS THIS IS YOU? >> YES. DID I HAPPEN TO GIVE YOU MY LITTLE CHEAT SHEET WHEN WE WERE TALKING BEFORE THE MEETING THAT HAD SOME NOTES?

>> YOU MIGHT HAVE. >> CHAIR KEELING: COME ON UP HERE, HERE'S WHAT YOU GAVE ME,

BUT, I DON'T THINK, WELL, OKAY. >> SO, LAST MEETING, AND PART OF OUR UPDATES WE LET YOU KNOW THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT OUR FEE SCHEDULE AND JASON SENT OUT AN E-MAIL WITH THE FEE SCHEDULE, WITH THE PROPOSED FEE SCHEDULE, WE HAVE BEEN IN DISCUSSIONS WITH FINANCE AND THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE ABOUT IT AND WE'RE STILL IN REVIEW OF THEM. BUT, PRIOR TO GOING TO COUNCIL, WE WANTED

TO HEAR IF Y'ALL HAD ANY FEEDBACK OR QUESTIONS. >> I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ON THE FEES BEING ASSOCIATED WITH DISC GOLF AND HOW TO ENFORCE THEM. THAT'S LIKE, PROBABLY NOT

[00:40:03]

FOR CONSTANT MAINTENANCE ON THE PARKS. >> SO, THE THOUGHTS BEHIND THAT WERE SIMILAR TO THE PAVILIONS, AND THAT WAS TO ENSURE THE USE OF IF NO ONE IS USING IT. AND IF SOMEONE HAS A RESERVATION, THEN WE'RE ABLE TO ENFORCE THE RESERVATION, AND WE WILL HELP REMOVE PEOPLE SO THAT YOU COULD GO AHEAD AND HAVE WHATEVER SHINDIG THAT YOU ARE HAVING.

SAME WITH THE BASEBALL FIELDS, OR ANY OTHER MULTIUSE AREAS, IT WAS THE SAME THOUGHTS ON THAT.

>> I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF ORGANIZED ACTIVITY GOING ON THAT, I DON'T KNOW, THAT WE NEED TO DEFINE BOUNDARIES ON. MAY BE IT'S LIKE A BASKETBALL COURT, IT'S OPEN AND YOU CAN PLAY FOR FREE, AND WHEN DOES IT START TO BECOME SOMETHING THAT YOU RENT, IS IT WHEN YOU HAVE A TOURNAMENT AND PEOPLE ARE PAYING. SO, IF YOU'RE PAYING TO PLAY, THEN DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU SHOULD BE PAYING THE FACILITY? OR IS THERE DIFFERENT TIERS? IT'S JUST WIDE OPEN, REALLY.

>> IT'S THE SAME THING LIKE THE PAVILION. SO, IF YOU GO TO CHILDREN'S PARK PAVILION, IF NO ONE'S USING IT, YOU COULD EAT LUNCH THERE FOR FREE. BUT, IF SOMEONE PAYS TO RESERVE IT, THEN THEY HAVE THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF IT. WE ARE UPDATED OUR SPECIAL EVENT POLICY AND TOURNAMENTS DO FALL INTO THAT, THAT THERE'LL BE UM, YOU KNOW, STEPS TO TAKE TO HAVE THOSE SPECIAL EVENTS SO WE COULD MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS ORGANIZED THE WAY IT NEEDS TO AND WE HAVE THE APPROPRIATE

DEPARTMENTS NOTIFIED. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >> I HAVE A QUESTION. SO, WHAT DETERMINATIONS WERE USED TO DECIDE WHEN CERTAIN FEES WERE DECREASED, I SAW ON HERE, FOR EXAMPLE, JUST A COUPLE OF ITEMS, LIKES THE GROUNDS RATE, FIRST PAGE, GROUNDS RATE MONDAY-SUNDAY

WENT FROM $550 TO $350. >> FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER, SO, WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THOSE ONES, BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE THOSE ONES DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. I KNOW SOME OF THE THOUGHTS BEHIND THE USAGE OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER WAS TO BE ABLE TO INCREASE

MONDAY-THURSDAY, IF THAT'S WHAT IS IT A MONDAY-THURSDAY FEE? >> NO, IT'S MONDAY-SUNDAY AND HOLIDAYS. THE MONDAY-THURSDAYS, YOU GUYS PUT A LINE THROUGH ALL TOGETHER. SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU MEANT TO STRIKE THROUGH THOSE AS WELL. BECAUSE THE NEXT ONE DOWN IS GROUND'S RATE,

MONDAY-SUNDAY, SET UP, TEAR DOWN, $275, TO $150. >> I CAN NOT SPEAK TO THE

COMMUNITY CENTER FEES, SORRY. >> THAT'S OKAY. >> I WAS NOT PART OF THAT

CONVERSATION. >> AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS AROUND THE GOLF COURSE, AND THAT IS, SO, I SEE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE THE NOTE IS THAT ALL 18-9 HOLE RATES INCREASED $2 ACROSS THE BOARD FROM THE PAST TWO YEARS, SO THAT WAS A FLAT $2 RATE INCREASE FOR

THAT CATEGORY? >> YES. >> AND ON THE ANNUAL PASS FOR THE HOLDER RATES, THOSE WERE INCREASED ACROSS THE BOARD BY $72, I WAS CURIOUS WHAT THE

METHODOLOGY WAS WITH THAT? >> SO IT'S PART OF THAT CONSISTENT INCREASE IN FEES EVERY YEAR. THEY'RE DOING A LITTLE BIT SO IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, HITTING MEMBERS HARD,

IT'S DOING THAT GRADUAL INCREASE. >> BUT THEY'RE DOING AN

INCREMENTAL INCREASE YEARLY WHEN THEY CAN. >> I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU RAISED

THE BEER PRICES. $3.50 WAS A REALLY GOOD PRICE. >> SORRY TO THE PUBLIC. YEAH,

I'M SORRY, AND I THINK THAT'S IT FOR ME. >> I HAVE A QUESTION.

>> WHAT DID Y'ALL RAISE THE RV PARK TO? >> TO $20.

>> SO IT WE WANT FROM $11 TO $20? >> FROM $12 TO $20, WE RAISED IT 66 PERCENT. BUT THE MEDIAN FOR VICTORIA IS STILL LIKE IN THE 40S, I THINK IT MAY BE $44

PER MIGHT AT OTHER RV PARKS. SO, IT'S STILL VERY COMPETITIVE. >> VERY LOW.

[00:45:03]

>> IS THERE ANY PLANS TO ADD A SHOWER HOUSE TO THAT RV PARK? >> SO, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT BECAUSE IT WAS IDENTIFIED AS THE MASTER PLAN AS A PLACE TO CAPITALIZE ON, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. BUT WE HAVEN'T SAT DOWN TO LOOK AT IT AND DEVELOP IT THOROUGHLY,

BUT WE COULD DEFINITELY MAKE THAT NOTE. >> SO, IF I UNDERSTAND IT CORRECTLY, IF YOU WANTED TO GO TO THE PLAZA, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY THAT, BUT IT'S A GUARANTY OF

SERVICE IF YOU DO PAY IT? >> AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T DOUBLE BOOK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IF YOU'RE HAVING YOUR WEDDING DOWN THERE, NO ONE CAN COME AND SAY, HEY, I'M HAVING MY

WEDDING TOO, YOU COULD SAY "NOPE, IT'S MINE". >> SO, YOU'RE NOT EXCLUDING KIDS FROM PLAYING ON THE BASKETBALL FIELD AFTER SCHOOL, IT'S JUST IF YOU WANTED TO RENT

IT OUT, TO PLAY A BASKETBALL GAME. >> IF YOU WANTED TO LOOK AT RESTRICTING, THAT'S WHERE IT GOES IF IT'S NOT IT DESIGNATED ON THE FEE SCHEDULE.

>> WHAT CLASSIFIED A SPECIAL EVENT? >> WE'RE STILL DEFINING THAT, BUT A LOT OF IT IS THE RESTRICTED USE AND HAVING THAT ADDITIONAL IMPACT ON THE CITY

DEPARTMENTS AND RESOURCES. >> SO, WHEN WE KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A COUPLE OF HUNDRED PEOPLE IN AN AREA, WE KNOW, AUTOMATICALLY, LIKE, THAT COULD POTENTIALLY PUT AN INCREASE ON OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, THINGS LIKE THAT.

>> SO, AND WE DO INCREASE THAT LEVEL OF CARE WHEN WE KNOW SOMETHING IS GOING ON AS WELL, LIKE, YOU KNOW, INCREASED TRASH REMOVAL. INCREASED MOWING, INCREASED SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO, THERE'S THAT LITTLE EXTRA BIT TOO. >> IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE SAYING IT'S OKAY TO JUST UTILIZE PARK AND NOT HAVE AN ORGANIZED EVENT OR NOT CLASSIFY IT AS A SPECIAL

EVENT. >> YES. YES, YOU COULD STILL HAVE YOUR BARBECUES, AND BIRTHDAY PARTIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT A PROBLEM. IT'S JUST ORGANIZING THAT SPECIAL EVENT SO THAT IT IS SAFER AND BECAUSE, USUALLY WITH SPECIAL EVENTS, COMES INFLATABLES, TENTS, ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL NEEDS, BARRICADES FOR STREETS OR CLOSING PART OF THE PARK, RESTRICTING ACCESS, AND THAT IS WHAT WE WANT TO BE SURE THAT WE GET AHOLD OF. BECAUSE THERE ARE MOVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE PARKS THAT WE DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW ABOUT. SO, IT'S MAKING SURE THAT EVERYBODY AGENCIES ABLE TO KEEP MOVING. BUT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IT.

>> DO YOU HAVE A DATE FOR FINALIZING THE DEFINITION OF A SPECIAL EVENT?

>> HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH. >> SO, I HAD A QUESTION COME UP FROM SOMEONE IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT RENTING THE DAILY ON PLAZA, SO, IS THE PLAZA CONSIDERED THE

ENTIRE PARK AREA INSIDE THE CONFINES OF THE FOUR SIDEWALKS? >> IT'S THE GAZEBO.

>> IT'S JUST THE GAZEBO. >> THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STARTS TO LOOK AT THE SPECIAL EVENT. BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO MOVE THE WHOLE AREA THEN.

>> JESSICA, I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE COMMUNITY CENTER, I NOTICED THE RATE IS DIFFERENT MONDAY-THURSDAY AND FROM HOLIDAYS, IS IT BECAUSE THE WEEKEND STAFFING, YOU GOT TO PAY OVERTIME? TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A RATE FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER, IT SHOULD BE MONDAY-SUNDAY, OR THE WHOLE WEEK THE SAME RATE. IS THAT THE REASON YOU NEEDED THE

WEEKEND HIGHER, BECAUSE OF THE STAFFING? >> SO, I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND IT, I KNOW WITH SOME OF OUR OTHER RATES, WE'RE TRYING TO INCREASE USAGE DURING THOSE TIMES. BECAUSE, THERE ARE TIMES THAT THE FACILITY'S ARE USED LESS, SO, WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT MORE AFFORDABLE AND ENTICING FOR PEOPLE TO USE THE SPACE.

>> SO, IT'S A DEMAND." >> THAT'S WHAT OTHER VENUE ARE DOING TOO, IT'S CHEAPER DURING

THE WEEK RATHER THAN THE WEEKEND. >> MOST OF THE IT EVENTS ARE MOSTLY FRIDAY-SUNDAY, MOSTLY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, THE DEMAND IS THERE. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING, IF YOU WANT IT AND I WANT IT, WHOEVER GET IT IS FIRST, GETS IT, THERE'S NOTHING ELSE YOU

COULD DO, SO WHY THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE? >> I THINK IT'S LESS DURING

[00:50:03]

THOSE OTHER TIMES IS TO TRY TO GET THE RENTERS. >> SEE, WE DO A LOT OF EVENTS AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER ON THE WEEKENDS. AND IT'S TAKEN A TOLL ON TRYING TO RENT IT BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF WEDDINGS, AND PARTIES, WHICH OCCUR ON THE WEEKEND, FRIDAY'S AND SATURDAY'S, AND SOMETIMES SUNDAY'S, AND TO ME, IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE IT, THE WEAR AND TEAR WILL BE THERE REGARDLESS IF YOU USE IT ON A SATURDAY OR SUNDAY. INSTEAD OF ONE FIXED RATE MONDAY-FRIDAY, GET A RATE 7 DAYS A WEEK. I'VE BEEN USING THE COMMUNITY CENTER FOR THE PAST 45 YEARS, I COULD GIVE YOU A STORY ON WHAT'S GOING ON AS FAR AS THE RENTALS AND POLICIES AND CHANGES. NOW, BEFORE, NOW, WHEN YOU RENT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, WHETHER YOU USE IT OR NOT, IT INCLUDES A KITCHEN. SO, A LOT OF EVENTS DON'T USE A KITCHEN. BUT THEY'RE STILL

BEING GIVEN A KITCHEN. >> UM, THERE'S ALSO WE WILL BE SENDING OUT UPDATED INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY WITH THE COMMUNITY CENTER, THERE HAS BEEN, WE SENT THIS OUT TO YOU ALL PRIOR TO TALKING WITH OUR CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, AND THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION DURING THAT, THAT'S GOING TO MAKE US LOOK AT THIS. I'M READING MY NOTES, AND SO, WE'LL BE SENDING OUT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FEES EITHER E-MAIL OR IN ONE OF OUR MEETINGS, BEFORE WE TAKE IT TO CITY COUNCIL, SO THERE'LL BE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW SOME OF THE REVISIONS THAT WE'LL BE MAKING TO WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU. SO, THAT DOESN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, BUT, IT'S

ANOTHER PIECE OF INFORMATION. >> BECAUSE PEOPLE ASK, BECAUSE ESPECIALLY, LIKE YOU SAID, JASON, INVOLVEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY, THEY ALWAYS SAY, HEY, YOU'RE IN THE PARKS, WHY IS IT SO HARD TO GET TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER, OR WHY IS IT SO HIGH, THEY GO ON AND ON AND I GET AN

EARFUL, I'M NOT GOING TO USE THE KITCHEN, WHY AM I PAYING FOR IT? >> AND THAT'S THE POLICY.

>> AND I'M CAPTURING ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE, AND WE WILL BE TALKING INTERNALLY IN GOING THROUGH THEM AGAIN. SO, YOU MIGHT SEE CHANGES BASED ON THESE CONVERSATIONS WHEN I SEND

OUT UPDATED REVISIONS. >> THE COUNTERPOINT TO THAT IS IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO RENT IT AND RENT THE WHOLE THING FOR A GREATER FEE, THE ENTERPRISE WHICH, THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE, BUT IT'S ALSO AN ENTERPRISE AT SOME LEVELS, AND IF THERE'S SOMEBODY THAT WANTS TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE KITCHEN AND THEY'RE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT, THEN, IT JUST SEEMS HARD TO

DIVORCE THE DEMAND AWAY. >> I TRIED TOM BARGAIN AND SAID, I'LL GIVE YOU THE KITCHEN,

BUT I'LL TAKE THE BAR KEY. >> IT MAKES SENSE AND I DID MAKE A NOTE TO TALK ABOUT THAT AND SEE IF THERE'S A WAY TO PULL IT APART. BECAUSE, YEAH, IF YOU DON'T NEED IT, WHY PAY FOR IT.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ADD THE SKATE PARK ON HERE SINCE Y'ALL CLEANED IT UP SO NICELY.

AND IT DOES LOOK BEAUTIFUL OVER THERE, I MUST SAY. I WENT TO VISIT IT, 98% OF THE GRAFFITI IS CLEANED UP. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS CLEANED UP AND THEN IT GOT TAGGED AGAIN. MAY BE WE COULD USE ONE OF THOSE CAMERAS TO STOP THAT. PORT ARANSES WERE HAVING THAT PROBLEM, AND THEY USED THE

CAMERA AND CAUGHT THE BAD GUYS. >> THANK YOU, I KNOW THAT WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING THOSE CRACKS

FIXED AND THE AWNINGS ON THE FRAMES, TOO. JUST FYI. >> DO YOU KNOW WHEN THAT'S GOING TO BE COMPLETED, AND THERE WAS TALKS ABOUT THE FENCING, IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN?

>> I DON'T THINK SO ANYMORE, BECAUSE THERE WERE CONCERNS ABOUT PEOPLE DRIVING ONTO IT.

>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT THESE PARTICULARS? >>

[3. Cancel August meeting and take action]

>> OKAY. ITEM D-3 IS CANCEL AUGUST MEETING. TAKE ACTION. >> WE'RE GOING TO NEED NOTICE.

>> SO, EVERYBODY'S OFF THE HOOK. FOR AUGUST. EVIDENTLY. SO, STAFF IS GOING TO BE.

[00:55:02]

>> THAT'S ONE FOR STAFF. >> WHOSE NOT HERE? >> JUST PUT IT IN YOUR

CALENDAR. >> ALL THE BOARD GETS A FREE ATTENDANCE.

>> FOR SUMMER ACTIVITIES. >> WE'LL MEET OUT IN THE GAZEBO.

>> CAN WE USE THAT AS A MAKEUP DAY? >> LIKE WE NEED A MAKEUP DAY.

I'LL BRING SNACKS. >> CHAIR KEELING: SO, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ABOUT THAT IN

PARTICULAR? >> NO, THE INTENT BEHIND IT WAS REALLY JUST TO GIVE A MONTH OFF FOR SOME SUMMER ACTIVITIES, GETTING READY TO GET BACK TO SCHOOL AND ALL OF THAT, AND

GIVEVEN. >> SO, WE'RE NOT RESCHEDULING IT, IT'S GOING TO BE CANCELLED.

>> GO RIGHT INTO SEPTEMBER. >> IS THERE A MOTION THAT WE TAKE A SUMMER VACATION IN

AUGUST. >> SO MOVED. >> IS THERE A SECOND.

>> SECOND. >> ALL IN FAVOR? >>

(CHORUS OF AYES) >> ANY OPPOSED? >> COME ON. ALL RIGHT. THAT PASSES AND WE WILL CANCEL THE AUGUST MEETING. DREADFUL. OKAY. PARKS AND RECREATION

[4. Parks and Recreation updates]

UPDATES? >> >> OKAY, SO, PARKS AND RECREATION UPDATES FROM JUNE. SO, WE'LL GO OVER, WHAT WE DID FOR PARKS RECREATION, GOLF COURSE AND THE SPORTS TOURISM AND COMMUNITY CENTER AND GIVE YOU UPDATES ON OUR PROJECTS TOO.

SO, WE HAD A QUARTERLY UPDATE MEETING WITH OUR DEPARTMENT AND WE DID SOME FUN TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES, WE DID THE SPAGHETTI TOWER WITH HOLDING UP THE MARSHMALLOW. JESSICA WAS PART OF THE WINNING TEAM, GO TEAM JESSICA. IT WAS FUN. WE HAD A LOT OF FUN PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER, GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE. BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SOME NEW STAFF WHICH IS REALLY GREAT.

SO, PARKS, OVER THE LAST MONTH, WE HAVE CONTINUED TO BE DOING TRAINING WITH OUR STAFF, SO, WE WENT OVER OUR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS TRAINING, WHAT WE HAVE, HOW WE HANDLE DIFFERENT NATURAL DISASTERS, OR, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S A FIRE, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO, WE DID SOME IN DEPTH TRAINING WITH STAFF WITH THAT. WE CONTINUED FIELD MAINTENANCE DEADULT SPORT'S COMPLEX, WE WORKED ON FIELD TWO BACK IN MAY, FIELD FOUR IS GETTING A LOT OF TLC RIGHT NOW. AND THROUGH THAT, THEY'RE ABLE TO DO A LOT OF EQUIPMENT TRAINING WITH STAFF AS WELL, THAT'S WHAT THAT MIDDLE PICTURE IS. IS THEY'VE HAD EQUIPMENT THERE FOR YEARS WITH DIFFERENT ATTACHMENTS AND THEY ONLY EVER USE ONE ATTACHMENT. SO, STEVE AND KIM HAVE BEEN GOING IN AND TEACHING STAFF HOW TO USE THE TOOLS AND RESOURCES CURRENTLY. WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO DO FIELD MAINTENANCE AT THE RIVERSIDE MULTIUSE COMPLEX, THE SOCCER FIELDS, DO TOP DRESSING AND MAKING SURE THEY'RE GETTING WATERED WELL. THERE WAS A LOT OF BALD SPOTS THERE SO IT WAS ALLOWING THE FIELD TO REST SO THAT THE GRASS CAN COME BACK TOGETHER. WE'RE CONTINUING TO REVIEW THE RIVERSIDE MOWING MAP AND TRY TO GET OUR FOOTING WITH THOSE DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE PARK AND THEN OUR PARK'S TEAM AS ALWAYS, WAS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME DURING OUR MILLER LITE FOURTH OF JULY EVENT. THEY SUPPORTED US AND HELPED A LOT. TO THE RIGHT IS RICHARD, A MAINTENANCE WORKER AND HE'S HE'S TFANTASTIC.

>> WHERE DO YOU KEEP THAT BICYCLE? >> THAT'S THE GENERAL'S.

>> IN REGARDS TO FOURTH OF JULY, I THINK THAT IN THE FUTURE, WE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING

[01:00:06]

LIKE YOU HAVE THIS TRAFFIC JAM. >> A MESS. >> EXACTLY, AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY, AND I WAS JUST THINKING, IT ENDS AT 10:00, BUT IF IT ENDED AT 11:00, YOU KNOW, AFTER THE FIREWORKS, YOU WOULD HAVE PEOPLE STICK AROUND, BUT IT WOULDN'T BE EVERYBODY. HALF THE TRAFFIC LEAVES AND HALF STAYS THERE. IT WAS A GREAT EVENT. IT WAS AWESOME.

>> I WOULD SAY ANOTHER SUGGESTION IS SOME SHADE, IT'S SUPER HOT, AND LIKE IF YOU GET THERE EARLY, THAT SUN'S STILL BLAZING, AND I NOTICED EVERY LITTLE FOOD TRUCK, LIKE THE SHADY SPACE OF A FOOD TRUCK WAS FAMILIES HUDDLED TRYING TO EAT IN THE SHADE. BECAUSE THERE

REALLY ISN'T SHADE OUT THERE. >> LIKE A PICNIC AREA? >> I DON'T KNOW IF WE DO A TENT OR SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE IT OPTIONS ARE. IT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS

LIKE, WE HAD TO LEAVE BECAUSE THE KIDS WERE TOASTED. >> OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT DID GET EVERYONE GONE WITHIN 20 MINUTES, IT WAS CRAZY TRAFFIC JAMS, BUT 20 MINUTESES, THEY HAD THE DRONES OUT AND APPARENTLY THAT HELPED WITH THE TRAFFIC CONTROL. SO, GO POLICE.

>> YES. >> BEFORE YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, ON THE MOWING MAP, HAS IT BEEN MODIFIED TO NOT INCLUDE GROVER'S BEND ANYMORE, BECAUSE IT'S SUPER OVERGROWN. I TALKED WITH JASON, AND HE SAID THEY WERE TRYING TO MOW IT. BUT IT'S LIKE BEING FORGOTTEN.

>> SO, THERE ARE AREAS IN GROVER'S BEND THAT ARE GROWING OUT, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE CONFLICTING WITH THE WALKING TRAILS OR PATHS, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO SEE WHAT IT IS

THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL USING THAT'S NOT BEING MOWED. >> WE'RE TRYING TO USE THE TRAILS THAT GO TO THE RIVER, BUT NOW, THERE ARE GRASSES LIKE CHEST HIGH, SO IT'S NOT SAFE TO BE WALKING IN THAT, IT TIERS OFF TO KNEE-HIGH, TO WASTE-HIGH, TO ACCESS THE RIVER AND THERE USED TO BE TRAILS AND THEY'RE SUPER OVERGROWN. FROM PEBBLE BEACH, ALL THE WAY UP GROVER'S BEND.

THERE USED TO BE A TIER OR TRAIL, WASHED OUT BY THE FLOOD, BUT IT WAS STILL BEING MOWED, AND NOW IT'S NOT. IT'S ONE OF THE PRIME PLACES IN GROVER'S BEND THAT NO ONE CAN ACCESS ANYMORE. AND YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE LETTING THE PRAIRIE GRASSES GROW, AND THAT USED TO BE A PLACE TO PLAY FETCH WITH YOUR DOG, AND NOW YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR DOG. THAT MAKE IT IS HARD

FOR ANIMALS. >> WE ARE BUILDING A DOG PARK. >> YES, BUT THAT DOG PARK DOESN'T HAVE A WATER FEATURE LIKE THE GUADALUPE RIVER. THAT'S FREE AND CLEAR. AND YOU COULD WALK ON THE LOWER TIER UP AND DOWN THE TRAIL, AND AT ANY TIME, YOU COULD JUMP IN THE

WATER, NOT ONLY THE ANIMALS BUT PEOPLE TOO. SO... >> YEAH, WE'LL DEFINITELY LOOK TO REVISIT THE USAGE OF GROVER'S BEND AND PEBBLE PARK. AND IT'S SO OVERGROWN. IT YOU'RE IN WASTE-HIGH GRASS, SO IT'S NOT REAL SAFE AND IT'S A PRIME LOCATION AND IT USED TO BE

MAINTAINED. >> OKAY. WE WILL LOOK INTO THAT.

>> ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT PARKS? >> ALL RIGHT. SO, RECREATION, SO, JUNE INTO LAST WEEK WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL MILLER LITE EVENT, NATIONAL SKATEBOARDING DAY AT THE SKATE PARK. WE FINISHED UP OUR BALL AND SOFTBALL LEAGUES AND WE WERE ABLE TO ASSIST HOPE FEST, THE SENIOR WHEELCHAIR CLASSIC. WE'RE FULLY STAFFED IN RECREATION. WE HAVE OUR THREE COORDINATORS, GABBY ON THE LEFT, JALA IN THE MIDDLE AND ALEX ON THE RIGHT. SO, WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE THEM ON BOARD. DO YOU SHARE ANY ABOUT YOUR SKATEBOARDING DAY. WHAT WAS

[01:05:08]

THAT EVENT? >> SO, IT WAS NATIONAL SKATEBOARDING DAY, AND ALEX WENT AHEAD, HE JUST ORDERED SOME PIZZAS, AND WENT OUT AND JUST INTERACTED WITH EVERYBODY AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING DO WITH OUR DIFFERENT AMENITIES THAT WE HAVE IN THE PARKS IS GET TO KNOW OUR USERS, SO WE COULD SEE WHAT KIND OF INTEREST THERE IS, AND ENGAGE KIND OF HOW THE COMMUNITY, IF THERE WANTS TO BE REGULAR PROGRAMMING OUT THERE, IF THERE'S AN INTRO TO SKATEBOARDING PROGRAM, MORE OF THAT OUT THERE, SO, BUILDING

RELATIONSHIPS. >> I'VE SEEN LOTS OF PEOPLE ASKING ABOUT THE SKATEBOARD PARK AND LOVING THE SKATEBOARD PARK, BUT THEY'RE DYING OUT THERE WITHOUT THE SHADE.

>> WE DO HAVE THE AWNINGS ON ORDER. >> IS THAT JUST AT THE PICNIC AREAS AND THE BLEACHERS THAT'S THERE, OR IS THERE GOING TO BE SHADE POPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF

THE PARK, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE KIDS HANG OUT. >> RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE NO PLANS TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL SHADE STRUCTURE THERE, BUT WE COULD MAKE A NOTE TO LOOK AT THAT.

>> THAT'S THE REQUEST I ALWAYS GET, JUST SHARING. >> JULY IS ALSO PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH. WE HAVE A WHOLE MONTH DEDICATED TO THE AWESOMENESS THAT PARKS AND RECREATION IS. SO, COMING UP, JALAI HAS KICKED OFF WEEKLY ACTIVITIES IN THE PARKS AND SO THE THEME OF THIS MONTH IS RISE UP IN RECREATION. SO, THERE ARE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES GOING ON AT THE DIFFERENT PARKS ON WEDNESDAYS. WE HAVE KONA ICECAP 2 OUT THERE, AND THE ZOO'S COOK COMING OUT. WE'LL BE BRINGING ART IN THE PARK JULY 18TH, TO GROVER'S BEND. AND WE'RE ASSISTING THE SOUTH SIDE COMMUNITY WITH THEIR BACK TO SCHOOL EVENT. WE'LL HAVE OUR POP UP PARK OUT THERE, AND THE KAYAK CLINIC IS SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 6TH.

>> GOVERNMENT COURSE AND COMMUNITY CENTER. BEAR WITH ME. SO, OUR JUNE STATISTICS, SO, FOR TOURNAMENTS, WE HAD 306 ROUNDS PLAYED IN OUR TOURNAMENTS, 378 PRACTICE ROUNDS FOR A TOTAL OF 3,355 ROUNDS FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE. AND WE HAVE A WHOLE SLEW OF EVENTS FOR JULY COMING UP.

AND WE HAD THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE SCRAMBLE. A GREAT WEEK OF JUNIOR CAMP ADJUSTED FINISHED AND I BELIEVE THERE WERE 8 PARTICIPANTS, THEY WERE HAVING THURSDAY NIGHT SCRAMBLES, NIGHTS OF COLUMBUS, AND ANOTHER JUNIOR CAMP AND CONTINUING WITH THE THURSDAY SCRAMBLES. THIS IS HOW WE COMPARE TO LAST YEAR. WITH OUR ROUNDS AND OUR REVENUES FOR THE GOVERNMENT COURSE. IT SHOW THAT IS WE ARE ABOUT 100 ROUNDS AHEAD THIS YEAR THAN WE WERE LAST YEAR YEAR-TO-DATE. AND THAT'S ABOUT 600 MORE ROUNDS OF GOLF IN JUNE THAN WE DID IN JUNE OF 2021, AND OUR REVENUES HAVE ALSO INCREASED AS WELL. WE HAVE GPS ON THE GOLF CARTS NOW. IT'S EXCITED. ROLANDO IS SUPER STOKED ABOUT THIS, HE'S ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE GREENS AREN'T DRIVEN ON, AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT DRIVEN ALONG THE RIVERSIDE AND CHECKING OUT THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE PARK. AND THE COMMUNITY CENTER, SO, THEY HOSTED THREE CITY MEETINGS IN TRAINING LAST MONTH, THEY HAD 18 NON-CITY FUNCTIONING, WE DID HAVE A DEPARTMENT MEETING, SO, WE HAD A TOTAL USAGE OF 21 EVENTS AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER. SPORTS TOURISM. SO, THE SPORTS THAT WE HAVE COMING UP FOR JULY IS THE RODE WHITE AND BLUE SCRAMBLE. THE LATIN BOWLERS TOURNAMENT AS WELL AS THE SWIM

[01:10:04]

>> SO, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO AN ADULT ONE FOR THE OKAY, I WAS THINKING OF THAT ONE WHERE

THEY'RE HAVING THE EVENT AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER WITH THE -- >> SOMBRARO FEST?

>> YES. >> ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE AN ADULT ONE?

>> I'M NOT SURE, BUT WE COULD FIND OUT. >>

>> AND THEN, SOME SPORTING OPPORTUNITIES, MICHELLE IS WORKING ON BRINGING IN NEXT YEAR IS BOXING. REGULAR CORN HOLE COMPETITIONS, BASKETBALL, CROSS-COUNTRY, AND WE HAVE THE

AMERICAN JUNIOR GOLF ASSOCIATION LOCKED IN FOR NEXT YEAR. >> ISN'T PICKLE BALL REALLY

POPULAR, COULD Y'ALL ADD THAT? >> YES, THAT'S ALREADY, MICHELLE'S IN THE WORKS WITH TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS WHO HOSTED THE TAFT WINTER CAMS AND THEY BRAINSTORMED DATES WHEN THEY

WILL BE HERE. AND SO, WE'LL GET THAT INFORMATION ADDED. >> HOW DID Y'ALL'S WORKSHOP GO

THAT Y'ALL HAD FOR PICKLE BALL? >> IT WAS SMALL. IT WAS A SMALL TURNOUT, I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBERS, BUT, I KNOW THAT WAS PRIOR TO MICHELLE STARTING, SO, I KNOW SHE'LL BE ABLE TO WORK MORE, SHE WENT OUT, YOU KNOW, SHE WENT OUT WITH THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR TO TALK MORE ABOUT FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES AND EVERYTHING, SO, THERE'LL BE DEFINITELY MORE OF A TURNOUT.

>> I KNOW ON YOUR BOX ON YOUR (INAUDIBLE) YOU AS PROFESSIONALS?

>> I THINK IT WOULD BE ARMATURE. >> ARMATURE? THE GOLDEN

GLOVES? >> MAY BE. I'M NOT SURE. >> WE COULD SELL A LOT OF

BOXING HERE. >> FOR A BOXING EVENT, WOULD YOU PARTNER WITH A LOCAL BOXING

CLUB? >> SO, THERE ARE LOCAL LIKE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WOULD HOST THEM. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD BE A BRICK AND MORTAR CLUB OR AN ASSOCIATION, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE LIKE, USA BOXING AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WHICH THERE ARE LOCAL BRANCHES WITHIN

DRIVING DISTANCE OF HERE. >> DO YOU SEE THIS? ISN'T IT PRETTY, MICHELLE DID A GREAT

JOB. >> IT'S A GREAT LOGO. >> ALL RIGHT, SO, SOME PROJECTS, OUR PROJECTS UPDATE THIS MONTH, WE SHOULD BE GOING TO COUNCIL JULY 19TH, FOR THE DUCK POND FOR THEM TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT AND BE ABLE TO START MOVING FORWARD SO THAT'S REALLY EXCITING. THE DOG PARK, WE DO HAVE A DESIGN IN THE FINAL PHASES OF DEVOLVEMENT, AND ONCE WE GET THOSE FINALIZED DOCUMENTS, THEN THERE'LL BE A REVIEWAL OF THEM INTERNALLY BEFORE WE CAN START MOVING FORWARD. FOR THE MULTIPURPOSE FIELDS AT RIVERSIDE PARK, WE'RE ABLE TO START PHASE TWO, WHICH IS IN THE BACK SECTION OF THE PARKING LOT, TO MAKE A U-12 SIZED SOCCER FIELD. AND ONCE WE GET THAT TOP SOIL IN, IT WILL BE REALLY GREAT AND WE'LL HAVE A REALLY NICE LAST FINAL FIELD OUT THERE. AND, THEN THE ETHEL LEE TRACY PLAYGROUND SHOULD BE READ AS THE TED B REID PLAYGROUND. WE HAVE THE PICTURES SO YOU GUYS CAN SEE THE DESIGN THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, AND ONCE WE GET THE FINALIZED INFORMATION WE'LL GO TO COUNCIL AND HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO HAVE IT KINSTALLED IN NOVEMBER. LET'S LOOK AT PICTURES. SO, THIS HAS THE, WE'RE STILL KEEPING THE CIRCLE AREAS, WE'LL BE REMOVING THE PEA GRAVEL AND REPLACING IT WITH

[01:15:04]

>> IT LOOKS LIKE WOOD FIBER. >> IT LOOKS LIKE WOOD FIBER AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'LL HAVE THE DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS SIMILAR TO HOW IT'S STRUCTURED NOW, YOU KNOW, THE 3-5, AND THE 6 AND UP GROUP. AND THAT IS OUR FINAL WITH THE PROJECTS AND ALL OF OUR UPDATES. ARE THERE ANY OTHER

QUESTIONS? >> I REMEMBER TOWARDS THE SPLASH PADS, THERE WAS A POINT IN TALKING ABOUT PUTTING SHADE STRUCTURES ON THE SIDE OF THOSE LIKE ON LLOAN LONE CREEK, MAY B IT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED, HAVING MORE OF A SHADED AREA FOR PEOPLE TO BE IN

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. >> ALL THE PICNIC TABLES SHOULD BE COVERED, SHOULD HAVE A SHADE

STRUCTURE OVER THAT, BUT I'LL DOUBLE CHECK IT. >> I THINK WHAT I'M RECALLING IS A CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING THE MASTER PLAN, THAT'S PROBABLY

WHAT IT WAS. >> CHAIR KEELING: ANY OTHER COMMENTS? KIMBERLY, THANK YOU,

VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. GOOD JOB. >> THANK YOU.

>> GREAT JOB. >> BETTER WATCH OUT. >> THANK YOU Y'ALL.

[E. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS:]

>> CHAIR KEELING: ALL RIGHT, THAT CONCLUDES, FIRST OF ALL, I GUESS I CAN ASK, IS THERE

ANYTHING THAT MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO SEE PLACED ON FUTURE AGENDAS? >> I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT

REESTABLISHING THE LOWER TRAIL IN GROVER'S BEND. >> CHAIR KEELING: OKAY. YOU

WANT TO BRING THAT UP AS AN ITEM FOR DISCUSSION? OKAY. >> IT'S ON THE 10-YEAR PLAN, BY

THE WAY. >> . >> CHAIR KEELING: WHAT DID YOU

CALL IT, THE LOWER TRAIL? >> DOES IT HAVE A NAME, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?

>> CHAIR KEELING: I THINK I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, WHERE YOU COULD GET DOWN ON THE

RIVER AND KIND OF WALK. >> YEAH. IT WAS THE LOWER TRAIL, IT WAS THE PREVIOUS TRAIL IN GROVER'S BEND, BUT IT WAS RESCINDED BACK TO THE NEAREST TO THE STREET BECAUSE IT WAS IT

FLOODED OUT. IT GOT WASHED OUT. YEAH. >> CHAIR KEELING: I DON'T KNOW THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE DEPARTMENT EVER BUILT. I THOUGHT PEOPLE JUST DID THAT.

>> NO, IT NEEDS MOWING AND A LITTLE BLADING ACTION RIGHT NOW TO MAKE IT INHABITABLE.

>> OKAY. WE'LL PUT IT ON THE AGENDA TO DISCUSS. >> CHAIR KEELING: OKAY.

WITHOUT ANY OBJECTIONS, THIS
