[6. Comments by the Chair and Board]
BOARD. MY COMMENTS WILL BE BRIEF. THINK ALL OF YOU FOR MAKING IT HERE TONIGHT . THAT WAS RIDICULOUS COMING IN FROM FORT LAUDERDALE. I'M SURE IT'S BEEN WET ALL DAY. LET'S HOPE EVERYBODY ELSE IS SAFE. I WILL GO AROUND THE TABLE NOW AND SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE -- YOU HAVE ANYTHING? OKAY. ANYTHING?>> I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO OUR PARKS AND REC . I'VE BEEN SPENDING THE LAST THREE MONTHS AT PINE TRAILS AND IN THE EVENING, I'M IN AWE OF THE BEAUTY OF THE CITY AND THE RESIDENTS. THE COACHES. I SEE THE COMMISSION OUT THERE. IT'S REALLY INCREDIBLE. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL.
>> I HAVE A FEW WORDS. SINCE OUR LAST MEETING WHICH WAS I BELIEVE ON SEPTEMBER 12TH, IT SEEMS AS IF THE WORLD HAS GONE CRAZY . ON OCTOBER 7TH, 2023, HAMAS LED PALESTINIAN MILITANTS FROM THE GAZA STRIP . LAUNCHED A MULTIPRONGED INVASION OF SOUTHERN ISRAEL WHICH HAS UNLEASHED AN ABUNDANCE OF HATRED AND ANTI-SEMITISM AROUND THE WORLD, INCLUDING RIGHT HERE IN OUR BELOVEDCITY THERE HAVE BEEN ONE OR TWO INCIDENCES . AS A LEADER IN THIS COMMUNITY, I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE EVERY PART LENDER TO FOLLOW THE BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF OUR CITY 'S MAYOR AND COMMISSION , AND REMAINS STEADFASTLY OPPOSED TO THESE AND ALL ACTS OF TERRORISM . THE CITY OF PARKLAND STANDS IN SUPPORT OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY HERE IN PARKLAND AND AROUND THE WORLD , AND EACH PART LENDER CAN BE A FORCE FOR GOOD , PEACE AND KINDNESS AND FOR SUPPORT OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY. ONE SMALL WAY TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT IS TO ORDER OUT OR DINE IN TONIGHT AT SICILIAN OVEN . THE RESTAURANT, I BELIEVE THERE ARE NINE OF THEM IN SOUTH FLORIDA. PART OF ALL THE PROCEEDS OF TONIGHT'S DINNER , IF YOU PURCHASE IT AT SICILIAN OVEN WILL BE DONATED TO THE AMERICAN FRIENDS OF MAGEN DAVID FOUNDATION. CAN ALSO DONATE TO MAGEN DAVID ON YOUR OWN OR ANY OTHER BEDDED CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION AND SUPPORTIVE ISRAEL'S SELF-DEFENSE, SUCH AS
[00:05:03]
THE ISRAEL EMERGENCY FUND OR FRIENDS OF THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCE , F IDF . OR THE JEWISH AGENCY FOR ISRAEL. OTHER HAPPENINGS , WHILE IMPORTANT, PALE IN COMPARISON BUT ARE CERTAINLY WORTH MENTIONING, INCLUDING THE ANNUAL MAR-A-LAGO SIP AND SPEND EVENT WERE OVER $700 WAS RAISED FROM THE PARKLAND FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY EVENT RAFFLE . THOSE PROCEEDS WILL GO TO SUPPORT PROGRAMS AT THE PARKLAND LIBRARY. THE PARKLAND FARMERS MARKET AT ITS KICKOFF SEASON OPENING MARKET AND WAS PACKED WITH PEOPLE AND WONDERFUL AS ALWAYS LAST WEEKEND, MANY PORTLANDERS PARTICIPATED IN THE SOS WHITE BALL TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE CHILDREN SOS VILLAGE AND THERE WAS A VETERANS DAY CEREMONY AND RUSH ON VETERANS DAY WE CAN BEST WE CAN. I ALSO HOPE THOSE THAT OBSERVE HAD A WONDERFUL DIWALI CELEBRATION. BEFORE THAT, THERE WERE PUMPKIN PATCHES AND HALLOWEEN EVENTS AROUND TOWN , AND ALTHOUGH YOU CAN'T TELL VERY MUCH BY THE WEATHER, FALL IS OFFICIALLY HERE. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO THE GOOD WORK OF THIS ADVISORY BOARD IN SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY THE BEST WAY THAT I CAN.>> ANY COMMENTS? >> NO. I REALLY APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS. AND ALSO APPRECIATE THIS PART OF THE COMMUNITY TO BOTH STAND AGAINST ANTI-SEMITISM AND ALL FORMS OF HATE . AS A MEMBER OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY, WE ALSO FELT A LOT OF FEAR. SO IT WAS REALLY HELPFUL TO HAVE ADDITIONAL PRESENCE BY THE SOS SYNAGOGUES AND HOUSES OF WORSHIP IN THE CITY. THAT HAS AN SUSTAINED, AND I WONDER IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE BROUGHT BACK , JUST BECAUSE THERE CONTINUE TO BE FEARS AND ACTS OF HATE , NOT JUST TARGETING -- THERE ARE A LOT TARGETING JEWS AND OTHER GROUPS. BUT I ALSO WANTED TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE TO MY COLLEAGUES IN THE CITY, COMMISSION, AND ALL THE VOLUNTEERS. IT IS THAT SEASON TO BE GRATEFUL AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOU ALL . AND I REALIZE THAT WE MAY NOT BE MEETING UNTIL THE NEW YEAR WHICH IS REALLY ODD. SO I JUST WANT TO WISH EVERYONE A WONDERFUL SEASON AND HOPE EVERYONE IS HEALTHY AND WELL.
I KNOW WE WILL HAVE SOME MORE EVENTS GOING ON IN OUR CITY IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS THAT I LOOK FORWARD TO. SO THANK YOU.
MEET AT A FARMERS MARKET OR SOMETHING BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS.
>> THOSE ARE ALL GREAT COMMENTS. THANK YOU. I KNOW SHERRY PUTS A LOT OF WORK INTO HER PREPAREDNESS FOR THIS. I'M A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT THE ANIMOSITY ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES FOR THE CITY OF PARKLAND. I DON'T COMMENT. I KNOW A COUPLE OF US YOU HAVE. I'VE SEEN COMMENTS, BUT IT'S VERY ANGRY AND PEOPLE JUMPING ALL OVER. SO EVEN THOUGH THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE, THAT GIVES ME A SENSE OF PAUSE. NOT SPECIFIC TO WHAT'S GOING ON IN ISRAEL. AS WITH A TEENAGE, WHATEVER THAT LITTLE GANG IS. BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE NOT ON THE SAME PAGE. SO HOPEFULLY OUR CITY COMMISSION CAN'T REEL THIS IN AND WE CAN ALL GET ON
[7. Approval of the Agenda]
THE SAME PAGE AGAIN SOON. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA. SO IF THERE'S A MOTION TO APPROVE? IWOULD ENTERTAIN IT. >> ANIMAL MOTION TO APPROVE THE
>> ALSO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY TRAINING. LET THE RECORD SHOW
[8. New Business]
IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. NOW WE ARE ON TO NEW BUSINESS AND OUR APPROVAL OF THE 2024 MEETING DATE. WOW.>> YES, 2024 IS UPON US. FOR THE RECORD, JACKIE WAYMIRE, SENIOR STRATEGY FOR GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS. NOW WE SET THE SCHEDULE FOR NEXT YEAR. SO I DO HAVE THE FIVE MEETING DATES LISTED HERE IN THE AGENDA. THUS JANUARY 9TH, MARCH 12TH , MAY 14TH . WE TAKE A SUMMER BREAK . SEPTEMBER 10TH, AND NOVEMBER 12TH . ALTHOUGH STATES ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SECOND TUESDAY OF EVERY OTHER MONTH AT 6:00 P.M. JANUARY 9TH, MARCH 12TH, MAY 14TH , SEPTEMBER 10TH , NOVEMBER 12TH. SEAM I'M GOING TO SEND OUT AN EMAIL WITH ALL THE DATES INCLUDED. AFTER WE
[00:10:03]
APPROVE . >> ISLAND DIRECTORY OF PREFER THAT EVERYONE HAS THOSE DATES, YES.
WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT COMING UP, AND THAT DATE IS
MARCH 9TH. >> THAT WE HAVE A FEW, OR TWO OFFICIAL MEETINGS BEFORE PARKLAND DAYS? SO A LOT OF THAT
IS GOING TO BE DONE . >> FEBRUARY 9TH TO COME TOGETHER FOR THE PLAN FOR THE PARADE.
>> WE'VE GT AN AGENDA ITEM ON THAT COMING UP. BUT WE DO REGULARLY -- THIS BOARD DOES MEET EVERY OTHER MONTH AND WE HAVE DECIDED LAST YEAR TO TAKE THAT SUMMER BREAK. NOT THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL MEETINGS , IF YOU SHOULD NEED THEM LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR WHEN WE WERE PUTTING TOGETHER PARKLAND A. THAT SOMETHING YOU CAN DECIDE ON. THIS IS A REGULAR
SCHEDULE. >> WE CALL THOSE WORKSHOPS.
>> A SPECIAL MEETING. >> NO , IF WE NEED A SPECIAL MEETING OR WORKSHOP MEETING TO GET ANYTHING DONE, WE CAN DO
THAT. >> MOTION TO APPROVE THE DATES.
>> GOES IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE . OPPOSED? CNN, LET
[9. Old Business]
THE RECORD SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. NOW WE ARE UP TO OUR OLD BUSINESS. COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT HARVEST DRIVE.LAST MEETING, WE WILL BE SUPPORTING HARVEST DRIVE AGAIN THIS YEAR WITH A COLLECTION OF TOYS , HOUSEHOLD ITEMS, LINENS, SHOES AND THE LIKE TO HELP THE HARVEST DRIVE CRITIQUE BE STOPPED. THE HARVEST DRIVE CRITIQUE IS A SPECIAL PLACE WHERE FAMILIES IN NEED CAN COME IN AND KIND OF SHOP FOR THE BASICS FROM ITEMS THAT ARE DONATED. SO SOMETIMES PEOPLE NEED CLOTHING. SOMETIMES THEY NEED THINGS TO JUST GET A HOUSEHOLD STARTED WHEN THEY HAD THE FLOODING IN FORT LAUDERDALE AND PEOPLE LOST THEIR WHOLE HOME, THERE WERE SOME BASIC THINGS THAT THEY NEEDED. SO THE BOARD HAD DECIDED TO HAVE THIS DRIVE OF THE FEBRUARY 4TH FARMERS MARKET. I'VE TALKED WITH RENEE AND THEY WILL ENSURE THAT THERE'S A TRUCK THERE AT THE EVENT. SO THIS WAY, UNLIKE TOILETRIES WHERE WE JUST STOPPED SOME BOXES, HOUSEHOLD ITEMS ARE GOING TO TAKE UP A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SPACE. SO SHE WILL ENSURE HARVEST DRIVE HAS A TRUCK IN THE EVENT, SO WE'LL JUST NEED BOARD MEMBERS IT WOULD LIKE TO STAFF THE EVENT THE PRESENT AND ACCEPT THE DONATIONS JUST MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE LOADED ON THE TRUCK FOR HARVEST DRIVE. SO ONE OF THOSE THINGS WE NEED TO DECIDE IS STAFFING . WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE THERE AT THE FARMERS MARKET AND YOU MAY WANT TO STAGGER SOME SHIFTS, IF PEOPLE AREN'T AVAILABLE ALL DAY . THE FARMERS MARKET IS FROM 9:00 TO 1:00 , SO WE WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO START AT 8:00 MAKING SURE WE ARE SET UP WITH A 10 AND TRUCK. AND THE OTHER THING IS GETTING THE WORD OUT . I'VE TALKED WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT AND THIS TIME, THE CITY WILL BE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER A FLYER FOR THE EVENT. SO COMMUNICATIONS WILL WORK ON THAT FOR YOU ALL TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE EVENT ADVERTISED.
>> I FOR ONE AM VOLUNTEERING TO STAY THE DAY.
>> WHAT WAS THAT DATE AGAIN? >> FEBRUARY 4TH.
>> HERE ARE OUR OTHER COLLEAGUES. IT WAS A GREAT COLLABORATION LAST YEAR AND I THINK EVERYBODY STAYED THE
>> AND CROWDED INTO THE TENT. SO THAT'S WONDERFUL. WE DON'T NEED TO VOTE. YOU GOT ALL THE NAMES.
>> I GOT ALL THE NAMES AND WE CAN SEND OUT REMINDERS. I WANTED TO REMIND EVERYBODY OF WHAT WE'VE GOT ON OUR PLATES FOR THAT DAY AND JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE DO HAVE SOME STAFFING FOR THAT, SO AS PEOPLE ARE COMING IN , THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DROP THAT OFF. BUT AS WE SAID, ONCE COMMUNICATIONS HAS DEVELOPED THE FIRE, I KNOW WE WILL HAVE THAT SO WE CAN DISTRIBUTE THAT AS YOU
[00:15:03]
SEE FIT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. >> IS THERE A WAY TO COMMUNICATE TO THE MISSING NUMBERS THAT THE DATE IS AVAILABLE AND MAYBE THEY COULD SAVE THE DATE AND VOLUNTEER?
>> THAT WAS DECIDED LAST MEETING BUT WE WILL CERTAINLY SEND OUT A
REMINDER. >> THE NEXT ITEM IS THE FARMERS MARKET CULTURAL AWARENESS AND INCLUSION EVENT.
>> THE STATE IS GOING TO SOUND VERY FAMILIAR. THAT IS ON FEBRUARY 4TH AT THE FARMERS MARKET. WE AGREED LAST TIME THAT WE WOULD DO BOTH AT THE SAME FARMERS MARKET. KIND OF GET MORE BANG FOR OUR BUCK THERE. SO THE CULTURAL AWARENESS AND INCLUSION EVENT IS GOING TO BE LIKE LAST YEAR WHERE THERE'S GOING TO BE MUSIC AND VENDORS THERE THAT WILL GET OTHER FORMER MARKETS FOR SO IT'S BEING MARKETED IS TRYING TO GET AS MUCH DIVERSITY OF THIS MARKET AS WE CAN. LAST AND THERE'S A QUESTION AS TO WHO YOU COULD FORWARD IT TO A SOURCE PEOPLE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THE EVENT AND ARE COORDINATOR NATALIE ESPINOZA WOULD BE THE PERSON TO CONTACT. HER NUMBER IS 954 -757- 4104 . I'M SORRY. FOR 107. AND YOU CAN HAVE PEOPLE CONTACT HER DIRECTLY OR IF YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM ME, I'D BE HAPPY TO GIVE YOU HER EMAI OR HER NUMBER.
WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING PEOPLE WHO WILL BE VENDORS OR ENTERTAINMENT AT THE EVENT. SO CONVERSATION THAT YOU ALL HAD LAST TIME WAS TALKING ABOUT DOING A CHILDREN'S ACTIVITY AT THE EVENT . WE WILL HAVE A TENT, SO THAT WILL BE A TENT SEPARATE FROM THE TENT MAKING THE HARVEST RECOLLECTIONS. WE REALLY WILL NEED ALL HANDS ON DECK. PERHAPS WE CAN HAVE THE TEAM . SOME PEOPLE AT ONE TENT. SOME OF THE OTHER. YOU COULD TRADE OFF IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE PARTICIPATING AT BOTH, BUT WE WILL NEED STAFFING AND I DO HAVE ALL OF YOU WHO ARE GOING TO BE ATTENDING . ANY OTHER LOGISTICS YOU'D LIKE TO DISCUSS ARE WHAT THE ACTIVITY IS . THAT'S ALL UP TO YOU.
>> WE DIDN'T REALLY GET TO USE IT BECAUSE THE WEATHER WAS SO BAD. MAYBE WE CAN BRING THAT BACK BECAUSE THE KIDS NEVER GOT
TO. THAT WAS FOR KIDS. >> I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE -- A PASSPORT ACTIVITY WHICH WOULD BE REALLY RELEVANT BECAUSE THEN MAYBE THERE'S FIVE DIFFERENT BOOTS OR VENDORS THAT THEY VISIT , REPRESENTING DIVERSE POPULATIONS OR CULTURES. AND IT COULD JUST BE THEY GET A LITTLE CHECK OR STICKER AND WE CAN PROVIDE VENDORS -- MAYBE WE CAN LET THEM KNOW IN ADVANCE AT 8:00 WE GET THERE THAT THIS WILL BE HAPPENING AND WE CAN EITHER GIVE THEM A STICKER OR STAMP OR WHATEVER. AND THEN I THINK IT WOULD BE NICE FOR THE KIDS TO BE ABLE TO SHARE ONE CULTURAL FACT THAT THEY LEARNED FROM EACH OF THE VENDORS. MAYBE THERE'S FIVE TO MAKE IT EASY. THAT THEY CAN COME BACK AND IN THEORY IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE THEM. I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN GET A DONATION.
>> WHAT I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST IS FOR HALLOWEEN, I BOUGHT A TREASURE CHEST UNLIKE 1000 PIECES OF TOYS AND EVERYTHING IN THE KIDS WHEN IN. YOU GO TO THE DENTIST IN THE OLD DAYS.
NOW HAVE A TREASURE CHEST AND I'LL REFILL THE TOYS. WE CAN BRING THAT THERE AND HAVE IT TO GIVE AWAY. MAYBE WE COULD CREATE A WALL THAT THEY COULD WRITE A MESSAGE ON OR SOMETHING.
SOMEBODY HAS TO BUY INSURANCE FOR WEATHER. I NOTICED WHEN I WAS THERE SATURDAY, DOING MY SOLDIER RACE, THAT THERE'S A TRUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER . IT'S A SEMI WITH THE WHOLE CUT OUT. IS UNDERPERFORMING TRUCK OR
SOMETHING ? DID YOU SEE IT? >> THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN PART OF
SOLDIER RUSH. >> IT WAS STUCK BACK THERE.
>> THAT MIGHT'VE TRANSPORTED SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT THEY WERE SETTING UP FROM SOLDIER RUSH BUT IS NOT FROM THE CITY.
>> ARE THEY GOING TO TRY TO HAVE THE STAGE AGAIN FOR THIS YEAR'S
CULTURAL DAY? >> YES, THEY WILL BECAUSE THEY EXPECT PERFORMERS. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE SOME SIGNED UP ALREADY
AS WELL. >> THAT WAS SOMETHING WE LOST OUT ON WITH THE WEATHER AT THE FIRST SHOW I THINK. THAT'S WONDERFUL. AGAIN, WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE IT ON BOTH DAYS, ALTHOUGH .
>> IS IT OKAY IF I BRING MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIENDS TO HAVE THEM HELP US OUT AT THE CULTURAL TENT?
>> YES, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S CAN RELATE TO THEM EASIER.
>> WILL SOMEONE BE CREATING THE ACTIVITY?
>> YOU PUT ALL THAT TIME INTO IT.
[00:20:03]
>> I'M HAPPY TO CREATE SOMETHING AND SEND IT TO OUR BOARD, JUST FOR EVERYBODY'S FEEDBACK. I HAVE TO SEE IF I HAVE IT. I COULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING QUICKLY AND ARE HAPPY TO GET STAMPS. IF YOU, JACKIE, COME JANUARY, IF YOU HAVE A SENSE OF HOW MANY VENDORS WITHIN THE DIVERSITY SECTION OF THINGS, I'LL MAKE SURE I BUY THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT. AND ONCE WE HAVE THE LITTLE PASSPORT, IS THE CITY ABLE TO PRINT COPIES OR DO
I PRINT COPIES? >> FOR THE AMOUNT THAT WE PROBABLY NEED FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED COPIES, I CAN MAKE A COUPLE HUNDRED COPIES THAT'S OKAY. WHEN IT COMES TO SENDING IT OUT TO THE GROUP, IF YOU'LL BE DECIDING ON SOMETHING THAT SOMETHING THAT'S NEED'S TO BE DONE AT A MEETING, YOU'RE WELCOME TO GIVE ME , EVERYBODY WHAT TO CONSIDER. I CAN CONSIDER EVERYBODY IN PREPARATION TO VOTE FOR IT AT
THE JANUARY MEETING. >> PERFECT. SOUNDS GREAT.
>> THEN JEFF, YOU SAID YOU'D GET THE TREASURE CHEST TOYS?
>> YES, I'VE GOT THAT. >> I CAN BRING SOME LARGE PIECES OF POSTER BOARD AND MARKERS FOR KIDS TO WRITE MAYBE SOME
MESSAGES ABOUT CULTURE. >> YES. POSITIVE.
>> DO YOU WANT TO COORDINATE THE UD YOUTH VOLUNTEERS FOR US?
>> I'LL ASK MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIENDS.
>> OKAY. >> WE COULD GIVE SERVICE HOURS FOR THAT OR THE CITY CAN. IS THAT THE CORRECT STATEMENT?
>> I BELIEVE THE BOARD COULD APPROVE HOURS, YES.
>> I CAN FROM THE LIBRARY AS WELL. STILL PART OF THE CITY.
I HAVE THE DOCUMENT IN MY PHONE.
>> ARE WE READY TO MOVE TO THE NEXT ITEM?
>> SO WE WILL HAVE A BOOTH AT THE FARMERS MARKET?
>> YES. >> THE JANUARY 9TH MEETING, WE ARE GOING TO BRING
>> SO REVIEWING, JEFF IS GOING TO GET THE TREASURE BOX TOYS .
ANGELICA WILL CREATE THE ACTIVITY WHICH YOU ALL WILL WILL APPROVE OF THE JANUARY MEETING , AND SHE WILL GET SOME STAMPS OF THE AMOUNT WE WILL NEED PROBABLY . KNOWING A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE EVENT, THE NUMBER OF VENDORS. SHERRY WILL BE BRINGING SOME POSTERBOARD AND MARKERS FOR THE ACTIVITY OF PUTTING SOME POSITIVE MESSAGES OUT THERE. SO ANY OTHER THINGS THAT YOU ALL DECIDE AT THE JANUARY MEETING, THEN WE CAN GIVE OUT SOME ASSIGNMENTS AS WELL.
>> GO AHEAD. >> DO WE BRING SOMETHING TO THE JANUARY MEETING TO PRODUCE ? I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT WILL
BE BRINGING SOMETHING. >> IT WOULD BE SO NICE I THINK WE HAVE EASELS FOR THE POSTER BOARDS AND I DON'T KNOW IF THOSE COULD , AFTER THE FACT, IF THEY COULD BE DISPLAYED IN THE LIBRARY IF THEY ARE POSITIVE MESSAGES FROM KIDS IN THE
COMMUNITY OR SOMETHING? >> I'M NOT SURE IF WE HAVE EASELS AND DISPLAYING IN THE LIBRARY, WE PROBABLY NEED TO SEE HOW BIG IT IS AND WHERE HE WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT. SO IT'S PROBABLY A DECISION WE CAN MAKE ONCE WE SEE WHAT WE HAVE.
>> OKAY. >> HUDDLE UP WITH BILL AT THAT TOO BECAUSE HE'S MR. TOOLE MAN A LITTLE BIT. SO IS PROBABLY SOMETHING WE COULD PUT TOGETHER.
>> EASELS MAY BE TRICKY TOO DEPENDENT ON THE TYPE OF EASEL.
BECAUSE IF IT'S GOING TO KNOCK OVER.
>> I HAVE THOSE TABLES THAT GO REALLY LOW FOR THE KIDS. TO SIT ON A REGULAR TABLE, , OR JUST BRING ONE TABLE. WE WILL HAVE
TWO TENDS THOUGH. >> ONE HARVEST DRIVE AND ONE FOR
THE ACTIVITIES, YES. >> THAT'S EXCITING. KNOW MY
FAVORITE EVENT. >> I'M CURIOUS, JACKIE, DO YOU HAVE A SENSE -- AM WONDERING IF YOU HAVE A SENSE OF ANY OF THE VENDORS? YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL US NOW. OF MAYBE ONE OF THE PRICES IN ADDITION TO THE TREASURE CHEST COULD BE LIKE A CERTIFICATE TO REDEEM FOR AN ICE CREAM OR DONUT. SOMETHING
LIKE THAT. >> I DON'T KNOW OF THE SPECIFIC VENDORS. I KNOW THERE ARE REGULAR VENDORS THAT ARE THERE.
THE ONES THAT ARE THERE EVERY SINGLE TIME. BUT IT'S PROBABLY TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE WHO WILL BE THERE SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS ONE EVENT THAT WILL BE PROVIDING SOME THINGS THAT ARE
[00:25:02]
OF A MORE DIVERSE NATURE . AS WE GET CLOSER, WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE AN IDEA, BUT RIGHT NOW I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANYONE SPECIFICALLY SIGNED UP. I'M NOT SO SURE.>> I WAS THINKING OF SOME OF THE STALWART. THE POPCORN , THE CIDER DONUTS. THERE'S A FEW THAT ARE ALWAYS THERE. THEY ARE VERY POPULAR . OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORTS THEM IN A BIG WAY. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A WAY FOR ANY OF US -- AM HAPPY TO FACILITATE AND GET CONTACT INFORMATION FROM THE PARKS AND REC STAFF WHO FACILITATE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE VENDORS AND REACH OUT AND SEE IF THEY'D BE WILLING .
>> A GREAT WAY WOULD BE TO GO THIS WEEKEND ON SUNDAY IS THE FARMERS MARKET WITH THE PET EXPO.
>> I'VE GOT YOU. I'M ON IT. >> I COULD ALWAYS FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION I CAN GET . BUT THAT'S JUST A NICE PLUG FOR THIS WEEKEND'S FARMERS MARKET.
>> I'LL PROBABLY BE THERE FOR CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME.
>> OR ANYBODY HERE, PLEASE. MAYBE WE CAN COORDINATE. I'LL LET YOU ALL KNOW. I'LL GO TO THE CIDER DONUTS AND POPCORN.
THOSE ARE BIG FAVORITES FOR THE KIDS AND THEY ARE THERE EVERY WEEK. THEY ARE VERY POPULAR AND IF ANYONE HAS IDEAS, LET ME
KNOW. >> WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT LATER. THE PARKLAND A 2024 IS NEXT ON THE AGENDA AND I MISSED LAST WEEK SO THIS IS A BIG SURPRISE TO ME.
>> GUESS. WE ARE HAVING PARKLAND A ON AN ANNUAL BASIS NOW. WE WILL NOT BE HAVING SOMETHING AS BIG AS SUGAR DATE EVERY YEAR BUT WE ARE STILL HAVING THE PARADE. THE VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION . THE BUSINESS EXPO, AND SOME MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT IN THE EVENING. BUT IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT'S MORE COMMUNITY ORIENTED THAN A BIG STAR. SO THE PARADE WAS A BIG HIT AS WE ALL KNOW. SO I ASKED LAST TIME IF THE BOARD WOULD BE INTERESTED IN DOING IT AGAIN THIS YEAR AND PARTNERING WITH THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, AND EVERYBODY VOTED YES. I REACHED OUT TO THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY THEY ARE ALSO EXCITED ABOUT PARTING WITH YOU ALL AGAIN THIS YEAR. I'VE CHECKED IN THE CITY 'S TRAILER WILL BE AVAILABLE TO YOU AGAIN. SO THAT'S ONE LESS THING YOU NEED TO WORRY ABOUT SECURING BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WAS THE TOUGH PART LAST YEAR. WHEN YOU ALL HAVE A YEAR OF A PARADE UNDER YOUR BELTS, SO YOU ARE PARADE EXPERTS AND KNOW WHAT
TO DO. >> I THINK WE PRESERVED EVERYTHING. WE PROBABLY USED THE SAME FLOW.
>> YOU COULD. LAST TIME THERE WAS SOME TALK ABOUT CHANGING IT UP TO A PARTICULAR THEME AND I NEEDED TO FIND OUT WHAT IS THIS YEAR'S OVERALL THEME. THIS YEAR'S OVERALL THEME IS THAT THERE IS AN OVERALL THEME. SO IT IS THAT YOU CAN DO WHATEVER KIND OF FLOAT YOU WANT WITH WHATEVER THEME YOU'D LIKE. SO THE DISCUSSION LAST TIME WAS AROUND SPORTS AND BILL HAD TALKED ABOUT MAYBE GETTING SOME LOCAL SPORTS HEROES TO BE ON THE FLOAT . SO THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS THROWN OUT THERE. BUT YOU ALL CAN DISCUSS AND DECIDE ON THE THEME , AND LOGISTICS AND WE DO NEED TO INVOLVE THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY SINCE WE ARE PARTNERING. AND AS MARIANA POINTED OUT, WE HAVE ONE FORMAL MEETING BEFORE MARCH COMES AROUND. SO YOU MAY WANT TO MAKE A FEW DECISIONS TONIGHT OR AT LEAST ARRANGE TO HAVE SOME THINGS BUT SPECIFICALLY TO THE JANUARY 9TH MEETING SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE A FIRM DECISION IF YOU HAVE A BIGGER GROUP. THAT'S UP TO YOU. AND WE HAVE AN ABILITY TO HAVE SPECIAL MEETINGS IF WE NEED TO. BUT WE WILL NEED TO TALK ABOUT A THEME , LOGISTICS, AND HOW YOU'D LIKE TO PROCEED.
>> THE ONLY THING I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS THERE'S NOT A LOT OF MEETING TIMES AND WE DID PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THE LAST ONE. I BELIEVE WE PRESERVED EVERYTHING. SO WE COULD ALWAYS THROW A SPORTS GUY OR SPORTS GAL ON THERE. THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO SAY AND IT FLEW OUT OF MY MIND. IN ANNOUNCING THE NEXT MONTHLY MEETING OR MAYBE AFTER THIS ONE, JUST TO PEPPER PEOPLE THAT WE NEED THEM TO BRING IDEAS IF THEY HAVE ANY FOR THIS FLOAT , SINCE THAT'S OUR LAST MEETING OFFICIALLY , UNLESS WE HAVE A WORKSHOP?
>> I CAN. I WOULD ALSO LET YOU KNOW THAT THAT WILL GIVE YOU A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME IF YOU'RE JUST DECIDING ON THE NEXT TIME. BUT AGAIN, IT'S AT THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD, HOW YOU'D
LIKE TO PROCEED. >> CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH, WHAT DOES IT TAKE? I KNOW THERE'S A NOTICE. HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING
[00:30:04]
OR WORKSHOP MEETING LOGISTICALLY. WHAT DOES THAT TAKE? SO IT'S NOT JUMPING THROUGH TOO MANY HOOPS TO GETTHAT DONE. >> WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A QUORUM AND THERE'S A TIME AND DATE THAT YOUR BOARD WOULD BE
ABLE TO MEET. >> THAT'S VERY EXCITING. THIS WENT OUT OF MY MIND , I'M STILL HOLDING A CHECK IN MY WALLET TO JOIN THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY FROM LAST YEAR. SO IT'S NOT IN VERY GOOD SHAPE ANYMORE, BUT IT STILL THERE. SOMETHING THAT'S GOOD.
'S OR ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THAT?
>> I DON'T THINK IS GOING TO BE, WE HAVE THE LITTLE WHITE FENCE . WE HAVE THE TRAILER. WE HAVE AN IDEA ALREADY TO DO EITHER THE SPORTS THE MORE PICNIC TABLE ON THEIR AND I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE QUITE AS BIG AS WE THINK IT'S GOING TO BE. THINK IT WILL BE RATHER SIMPLE. STREAM AT ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT DIRECTION YOU'RE HEADING IN.
>> EXACTLY. AS YOU WORK THROUGH THIS LAST YEAR, ANYTHING THAT'S A DECISION OF THE BOARD NEEDS TO MAKE , IT NEEDS TO BE HERE IN PUBLIC AT A MEETING. HOWEVER, THE ACTUAL WORKING ON IT IS SOMETHING YOU DON'T NEED TO MEET TO DISCUSS. SO ONCE WE KNOW THE THEME , ONCE WE KNOW HOW YOU'RE PUTTING IT TOGETHER AND WHO'S PURCHASING THINGS, THAT KIND OF THING, THAT'S ALL WE NEED TO DO
AT A MEETING. >> I'LL REACH OUT TO JEFF SCHWARTZ TO SEE WHAT HE HAS IN HIS GARAGE. SO AT LEAST THAT'S IMPORTANT TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE PRESERVED .
>> MAY I ASK, SINCE WE HAD DISCUSSED LAST TIME SPORTS, I THINK IT WAS POSITIVELY RECEIVED BY THE MEMBERS. IS THERE A REASON WE COULD NOT VOTE NOW TO EITHER AFFIRM THAT OR NOT? JUST THAT WAY GIVES US THE ABILITY TO GET STARTED .
ONCE WE ARE FROM HERE, WE CAN GET STARTED WORKING ON THINGS.
>> IT'S UP TO THE BOARD. >> DO WE DO IT NOW OR DO IT IN
ANOTHER PART OF THE AGENDA ? >> THIS WOULD BE THE TIME. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SPORTS THEME.
SPORTS AND RECREATION. I DON'T HAVE SOMETHING ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD RIGHT NOW, BUT WE HAVE DIFFERENT EVENTS. I THINK WE COULD REPRESENTS BOARDS AND THE FARMERS MARKET AND OTHER RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE SO BELOVED BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS. I WOULD PUT THE MOTION BUT MARIANA, DO YOU HAVE A
QUESTION? >> TWO QUESTIONS. FIRST, IS
THERE A BUDGET ? >> WE HAVE NO BUDGET ALLOCATED FOR THE FLOAT. WE MAY BE ABLE TO FIND A SMALL AMOUNT OF BUDGET WHETHER THE CITY HAS NOT SET ASIDE BUDGET FOR THE CAD OR ANY OTHER PARTICULAR BOARD OR GROUP TO HAVE FUNDING FOR A FLOAT. WE ARE GOING TO BE PROVIDING A TRAILER AND, AS I SAID, IF THERE ARE INCIDENTALS OR A SMALL AMOUNT, I BELIEVE THE CAB
ITSELF HAS A VERY SMALL BUDGET. >> THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY FUNDED MOST OF IT LAST YEAR. THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY PAID FOR
SOME OF THE THINGS. >> MY QUESTION IS, HOW MANY OTHER ATTENDEES ARE INVITED? I'M ALSO INVOLVED AND I KNOW THEY ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE. THE OFFICE WILL PARTICIPATE.
MOST LIKELY THEY WILL HAVE THIS FLOATED , TO GO IN. I'D LIKE TO GET TO KNOW WHO HAS A PRESENCE IN THE PARADE. IF WE DO OKAY, THAT'S FINE, BUT DO WE KNOW THAT LIST OF ATTENDEES?
>> WE DO NOT, SINCE IT'S IN MARCH. WE CAN PROBABLY ASSUME THAT THE GROUPS WHO PARTICIPATED LAST YEAR WOULD PARTICIPATE.
THERE WERE BUSINESSES . THERE WERE SCHOOLS. THE CITY ITSELF HAD A FLOAT, BUT WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHO'S PARTICIPATING YET AT THIS POINT. I TEND TO THINK YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF FLOATS WITH THE SAME EXACT THEME , AND YOU'RE CERTAINLY GOING TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN AND WAS THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY BEING A PARTICIPANT WITH YOU, YOU ARE CERTAINLY
[00:35:03]
GOING TO HAVE SOME HISTORY IN THAT AS WELL. BUT I'D SAY IF YOU'VE GOT A THEME THAT YOU WANT, THEN SOLIDIFY IT . IT WILLBE UNIQUE. >> SOLIDIFY THIS TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION WITH THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY .
>> YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MAKE A DECISION ON IT OUTSIDE OF A MEETING HERE. SO WHAT I MIGHT RECOMMEND IS YOU COULD, TONIGHT, SAY THAT YOU DECIDE THAT IF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY IS GOOD WITH DOING A SPORTS AND RECREATION THEME, THEN THAT WOULD BE YOUR THEME. IN THE MEANTIME, WE COULD INVITE THEM TO THE NEXT MEETING. WE COULD HAVE A DISCUSSION. WE JUST WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OUTSIDE OF THE MEETING AND THEN MAKE A DECISION OUTSIDE
OF THE MEETING. >> I'M JUST ASKING JEFF WHAT HE
HAS IN HIS GARAGE. >> YOU ARE ALSO WELCOME TO DISCUSS THE OVERALL THEME WITH HIM . HE JUST WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SAY , YOU LIKE THIS DIFFERENT ONE? WE WILL GO WITHOUT. I KNOW NOBODY WOULD DO THAT. SO JUST GUIDELINE -WISE, THAT'S
SOMETHING YOU COULD DO. >> COULD A MOTION BE CONDITIONAL? COULD IT BE SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF A MOTION TO REPEAT LAST YEAR'S FLOAT WITH THE ITEMS THAT WE POSSESS , THAT WE PURCHASE, THAT WE HAVE , AND THEN POSSIBLY ADD THE SPORTS ELEMENT TO IT? COULD THAT BE A MOTION? IT'S A LITTLE IFFY . FEMA YOU CAN MAKE A MOTION FOR WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE.
IT'S AT THE BOARD'S PLEASURE. >> OKAY. SO I MOTION THAT WE EXPLORE THE THEME OF A PARKS AND RECREATIONAL THEME WITH A HISTORICAL LENS, PENDING APPROVAL BY THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY WE'VE INVITED TO BE OUR PARTNER.
>> SECOND. >> WE'VE GOT IT ON RECORDING
TOO, SO WE CAN PLAY IT BACK. >> THAT WAS THE OFFICIAL MOTION BUT DENISE, SINCE YOUR REACHING OUT TO JEFF ANYWAY TO DISCUSS WHAT WE HAVE, DO YOU MIND FLOATING THIS IDEA? I'M SURE HE CAN HAVE SOME REALLY CREATIVE LENS TO THE HISTORICAL -- LIKE MODERN AND HISTORICAL . WE CAN JUST EMAILING AS A GROUP . JENNY CAN UPDATE US ALL ON WHAT HE SAID, OR NO?
>> MAY BE PASSED THROUGH ME AND I CAN DO IT AS AN ENTIRE GROUP
AND OFFICIALLY. >> ONCE IT'S OFFICIAL, WE CAN START THE LOGISTICS. USING THIS MATERIAL OR WHATEVER.
>> AND COMPILING ALL OF THAT AND BRING IT TO OUR JANUARY MEETING, IF THERE'S ANY DECISIONS LIKE THAT WE NEED TO MAKE. SO THANK
YOU. >> I GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? WE DON'T MEET NEED TO READ THE MOTION BACK. BUT THE MOTION AS IT STANDS, SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE .
I PROBABLY SHOULD ASK IF THERE'S ANY DISCUSSION . I
MISSED THAT PART. >> IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE HAD DISCUSSION BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK IF THERE'S ANY FURTHER
DISCUSSION. >> ANY OPPOSED? IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THAT WILL TEACH BILL NOT TO MISS ANYTHING.
>> WE COULD HAVE ASSIGNED EVERYTHING TO HIM IN HIS
[10. Comments from Staff]
ABSENCE. NOW WE ARE DOWN TO ITEM NUMBER 10. COMMENTS FROMSTAFF. >> THE ONLY THING I HAVE OFFICIALLY IS THAT SCHOLARSHIPS ARE COMING AROUND AGAIN IN JANUARY. SO SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT FOR NEXT TIME AND WE CAN MAKE A DECISION NEXT TIME AS MAY BE, AS WE'VE DONE, KEEP THE SAME GROUP OF HALF OF YOU LOOKING AT THE APPLICATIONS AND HALF OF YOU DOING THE INTERVIEWS. AND WE CAN ROTATE FROM WHERE WE WERE LAST YEAR. LAST YEAR, I HAD SHERRY, LORI, RUPERT, BILL AND MARIANO DO THE APPLICATIONS. YOU DO THE INTERVIEW THIS YEAR AND ANGELICA, KENDRA, DENISE AND JEFF DID THE INTERVIEWS LAST YEAR, SO WE DO APPLICATIONS THIS YEAR. YOU DON'T NEED TO MAKE A DECISION TONIGHT IF YOU DON'T WISH TO, BUT I WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE FOR YOU SINCE WILL BE ADVERTISING FOR THOSE APPLICATIONS IN JANUARY.
[00:40:02]
>> HOW MANY SCHOLARSHIPS IS THIS?
>> THE CAB SCHOLARSHIP. THE ALLSTATE SCHOLARSHIP WE HAD WAS A FIVE-YEAR WINDOW THAT THEY HAD GIVEN US THE FUNDING FOR AND THAT WAS THE LAST ONE LAST YEAR. SO THIS IS ALL CAB SCHOLARSHIP
THIS YEAR. >> IS THERE ANY THOUGHT ON GOING OUT AND SOLICITING A REPLACEMENT FOR THAT, OR I'M
NOT SURE . >> DIDN'T BILL BRING THAT UP , THAT HE WAS GOING TO REACH OUT?
>> THAT MAY BE. >> THAT'S UP TO THE BOARD.
>> I KNOW HE MENTIONED FOR THE HARVEST DRIVE TALKING ABOUT
THAT. >> ON THE SCHOLARSHIP PART OF IT, WHAT ARE OUR PARAMETERS? ARE WE ALLOWED TO SOLICIT BUSINESSES TO APPROACH THE CITY, TO REPLENISH THE
SCHOLARSHIP? >> I THINK IT WOULD BE IF YOU DO HAVE SOMEBODY THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO JUST ASK , IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN DOING A SCHOLARSHIP, WHAT HE WANT TO TALK TO THE CITY ABOUT IT ? THEN YOU CAN ALWAYS GIVE HIM MY INFORMATION, SO YOU'RE NOT SPECIFIC WE BARGAINING WITH THEM
FOR THAT KIND OF A THING. >> AMIS THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MIGHT HAVE SOME BUSINESSES IN THEIR THAT WOUD BE INTERESTED IN REPLACING ALLSTATE. THAT WAS A GOOD THING. SO MAYBE WE CAN WORK ON THAT A LITTLE BIT. WAS THE OTHER ONE WE HAVE?
>> WE HAD THE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF SCHOLARSHIPS. ONE WAS THE ALLSTATE AND THAT'S THE ONE THAT ENDED. THE OTHER ONE IS THE ONE FUNDED BY THE CITY THAT IS THE CAB SCHOLARSHIP. THERE WERE THREE RECIPIENTS OF THE SCHOLARSHIP.
>> LAST YEAR, I DID SCORING. I DON'T REMEMBER DOING INTERVIEWS.
BUT YOU'RE SAYING I DID INTERVIEWS LAST YEAR ?
>> THAT'S WHAT I HAVE YOU DOWN FOR, BUT I COULD BE MISTAKEN AND YOU ALL ARE WELCOME TO DO WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE. WE ALSO DID A DIVISION WITH A YOUTH AMBASSADOR PROGRAM AND WHAT WE DID IS WE HAD FLIPPED THAT GROUP SO THAT EVERYBODY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO APPLICATIONS FOR ONE AND INTERVIEWS FOR ANOTHER. FEMA YOU ARE HUNDRED PERCENT RIGHT. I SCORED THE YOUTH AMBASSADORS. SO YOU ARE 100% RIGHT.
>> THAT'S A RECOMMENDATION. YOU ALL ARE WELCOME TO DECIDE HOW YOU FEEL ON THAT. SO I THINK IT WORKS OUT WELL. KEEPS EVERYBODY FRESH.
