[1. Call to Order]
[00:00:12]
WOULD LIKE TO CALL TO ORDER THE SPECIAL MEETING , THIS 15TH DAY OF FEBRUARY TO FINALIZE THE PLANS FOR THE CAB PARKLAND DAY FLOAT. I SEE EVERYONE IS HERE. LET US RISE FOR THE
PLEDGE. >> I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD INDIVISIBLE WITH
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. >> ROLL CALL, PLEASE.
[8. Old Business]
PURPOSE OF THE FLOAT. WE MIGHT AS WELL GET RIGHT DOWN TO THE TOPIC. I WILL PASS OUT SO THAT EVERYONE CAN SEE . TODAY, I JUST TOOK IT UPON MYSELF AND I PURCHASED A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF , WHETHER WE USE IT OR NOT -- YOU CAN USE IT FOR YOUR NEXT KID PARTY, I DON'T KNOW. BASICALLY, WHAT I DID, I BOUGHT -- I FIGURED SINCE WE WOULD GO WITH A SPORTS THEME -- I AM SORRY. ONE MORE. THE FRINGE THAT WILL GO AROUND THE BOTTOM, I FIGURED IT WOULD LOOK NICE AND GREEN SINCE EVERYTHING THATWE DO WITH SPORTS WILL BE ON A GREEN FIELD. I TRY TO INCORPORATE EVERY SPORT AS MUCH AS I COULD . I FOUND A GOOD PICKLE BALL SIGN THAT SHOWS THE RULES AND REGULATIONS. I FIGURED THAT WOULD BE CUTE TO PUT ON THERE. I HAVE PICKLE BALLS AND PICKLE RACKETS. I HAVE LACROSSE RACKETS, LACROSSE BALLS . I HAVE ANOTHER PARKING ONLY LACROSSE PLAYER. I FIGURED IF WE ARE GOING TO BE PLAYING SPORTS, I HAVE LITTLE BLACK EYE THINGS FOR ALL OF US. I SEE THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS WHERE THE BLACK THINGS UNDER THEIR EYES. I GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF BANNERS, THE FIVE PIECES OF THE FOOTBALLS. I DID THE SAME THING FOR SOCCER, THE SAME THING FOR BASKETBALL AND THE SAME THING FOR GOLF. THE SAME THING FOR -- WHAT WAS THE OTHER ONE? I THINK THAT ONE IS FOR Gâ– OLF ALSO. ND THEN GOT SOME TENNIS -- MAYBE THAT WAS FOR TENNIS. I GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF TENNIS SIGNS THAT WE CAN PUT UP ALL OVER THE PLACE. I DID THE SAME THING WITH THE SIGNS FOR THE GOLF. I DID THE SAME THING FOR THE SIGNS , ANOTHER ONE FOR GOLF. A WHOLE BUNCH OF MORE FOOTBALL. I GOT SOME HOCKEY STICKS THAT CAN BLOW UP.I HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF BALLS THAT WILL BLOW UP. WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS. IF WE HAVE A SECTION FOR HOCKEY , WE HAVE THE HOCKEY STICKS. IF WE HAVE A SECTION FOR GOLF, WE HAVE ALL THE GOLF STUFF. JUST UP THAT WE CAN PUT IN THE BACKDROP AND WE CAN TAKE IT FROM THERE. AND WE START DOING THE BUILD OUT. I FIGURED YOU MAKE THE EASIEST THING TO DO , DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS IF WE START FROM ONE END ? KENDRA, DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW YOU SEE THE FLOAT? ANY IDEAS?
>> THIS IS THE FIRST I'M HEARING BUT I LOVE IT. SINCE I DO LOVE ALL SPORTS. I WAS JUST THINKING IF WE COULD HAVE A SOCCER GOAL. WE HAVE A TON OF SOCCER PLAYERS -- A SOCCER GOAL
ON ONE END. >> SOCCER WOULD BE GOOD FOR SOCCER AND LACROSSE. YOU CAN HAVE A GOAL ON ONE END AND I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING WITH HAVING A FOOTBALL GOAL ON THE OTHER SIDE. THEY HAVE THOSE KIND OF THINGS. THE BOSS, YES,
MA'AM. >> I FIGURED THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO REITERATE, AS YOU ARE DISCUSSING YOUR IDEAS . THE OVERALL THEME OF THE PARADE IS LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION.
HOWEVER YOU WANT TO MELD THAT IN THERE. YOU MIGHT WANT TO KEEP THAT IN MIND. THAT IS OKAY. OH GOAL POST ON ONE END
[00:05:11]
AND THE NET ON THE OTHER SIDE.>> ALWAYS HAVE THE PHOTOGRAPHER WALKING AROUND WITH A BIG FUNNY CAMERA OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. EVERYONE WILL BE IN THEMED COSTUMES. SO HE CAN BE WALKING AROUND AND PRETENDING LIKE HE IS TAKING THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND HAVE ANOTHER GUY WITH A LIGHT AND SHINY AS IF THEY'RE TAKING PICTURES OF
>> I DID TAKE A FEW PICTURES OF THE NIGHT GAMES, LIKE THE BASKETBALL GAMES. A COUPLE OF MY DAUGHTERS AND THAT I HAVE SOME 30 YEARS OF NIGHT GAMES. IF WE WERE TO DO -- THE IDEA WOULD HAVE -- BECAUSE IT IS ACTION, TO HAVE PICTURES OF THE SPORTS IN THE EVENING . IF WE COULD REACH OUT TO THE RESIDENTS IN PARKLAND TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY PICTURES WE CAN PUT ON A BANNER. BUT YOU HAVE A GREEN DRAPERY TO HAVE THE PICTURES ON THE DRAPERY OR HAVE THE PICTURES EVEN ON -- IF WE DID POSTERS AND JUST HAD -- DID JEFF NOT SAY THAT THE ONE SIDE OF THE FLOAT IS ONLY SEEM? DID YOU SAY THE ONE SIDE IS NOT SEEN? WE CAN ACTUALLY DO IT ON THE ONE --
>> WE NEED A RELEASE FORM FOR THE PHOTOS OF KIDS OR IS THAT PART OF THE FORMS THEY THOUGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN SPORTS WITH
THE CITY? >> THE PHOTOS, YOU CANNOT SEE THEIR FACES , AND LESS THE PARENTS HAVE PICTURES OF THEIR OWN CHILDREN THAT THEY WOULD GIVE. THAT WOULD BE , THEY ARE GIVING THE OKAY BECAUSE THEY ARE GIVING LAMBERT BUT THE OTHER ONES, YOU ONLY SEE THEIR BACKS. IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO SEE THEIR FACES. THAT WAS JUST AN IDEA. I LOVE THIS AS
WELL. >> WE WANT THEM TO KNOW AS THEY'RE COMING DOWN THE STREET THAT IT IS A SPORTS THEME BECAUSE THAT IS THE WHOLE IDEA BUT IT IS LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION FOR ATHLETES FROM DIFFERENT SPORTS.
>> SAY CITY OF PARKLAND. WE WILL STILL USE THAT. THAT IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE IN THE SAME SPOT THAT WE HAD IN THE BACK. WE CAN HAVE THE SIGN ON BOTH SIDES SAYING, LIGHTS,
CAMERA , ACTION. >> LIKE A DIRECTOR SEAT WITH ONE OF THE ACTION -- HOLLYWOOD, ACTION.
>> I STILL THINK A REFEREE. BEING THE PRODUCER.
>> OF WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING TO GAIN FROM THIS OR ANY IDEAS OF WHAT THEY MAY HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THE FLOAT?
>> NO. BECAUSE THIS IS YOURS AND IT IS YOUR DECISION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PARADE. THE CITY HAS ITS OWN FLOAT. YOU ARE THE RESIDENTS. YOU ARE THE CAB BOARD , SO IT IS WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT EVER YOU WOULD LIKE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. YOU HAVE GOT SOME GREAT IDEAS. I THINK IT IS JUST KIND OF PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER.
>> AS FAR AS SOME OF THE ATHLETES, I'VE GOT A CALL FROM GINA LAST NIGHT. UNFORTUNATELY, ROBERTO HAS A GAME AT 1:00 IN THE AFTERNOON AND HE HAS TO GET -- HE WAS HOPING IT WAS A NIGHTTIME GAME. THEY WAITED UNTIL LAST NIGHT TO CALL ME BUT IT IS A 1:00 GAME AND HE HAS TO GET THERE EARLY, OBVIOUSLY. HE IS OUT. RAHEEM MOZART IS SO BUSY WITH EVERYTHING GOING O , HE IS TRAVELING A LOT. THE CHANCES OF GETTING HIM LOCKED IN, HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING
[00:10:02]
TOMORROW. HE IS ONE OF THE TOP PLAYERS IN THE NFL RIGHT NOW. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. THE OTHER GUY , THE RACE CAR DRIVER, HIS CAR IS MOST LIKELY NOT GOING TO BE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AT THE TIME AND PREPARING FOR A RACE. HAVING THE RACE CAR HERE IS NOT A GOOD TIME. IF YOU HEARD GINA, AND WHAT SHE WAS SAYING, WE WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF THIS. HE WAS DYING TO BE A PART OF THIS BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, THE GAME IS AT 1:00 SO THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. THAT IS WHITE -->> SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT MORE FUN THING THE RACE CAR LEADING THE FLOAT. HE WAS GOING TO TRY TO GET THE CAR TO BE IN THE FRONT AND DO ONE OF THE SERPENTINE'S AT FIVE MILES PER HOUR. I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN BORROW ONE. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE LIABILITY OF TAKING OUT A MILLION-DOLLAR
>> I WILL ASK HIM IF HE WANTS TO BE A PART OF IT, DEFINITELY.
>> WHAT ABOUT SOME OF THE TOP SPORTS PLAYERS THAT ARE
TEENAGERS IN OUR AREA? >> I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THEM.
>> I THINK THEY ALL HAVE THEIR OWN FLOATS, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND YOUR DO NOT THE SCHOOLS HAVE THEIR OWN ?
>> MOST OF THE SPORTS LEAGUES IN THE SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN, AT LEAST WE SAW LAST YEAR, HAVE BEEN IN THE PARADE. YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET THEM TO DO THAT . SOME OF IT HAS BEEN A PARTICULARLY PRINT AND SOME HAVE BEEN DOWN TO A FLOAT FOR ONE PARTICULAR TEAM. I AM NOT SURE WHO IS COMMITTED OR NOT.
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> WE WERE EACH GOING TO TAKE A DIFFERENT SPORT AND EACH OF US WOULD REPRESENT THAT SPORTS.
>> I THOUGHT THAT IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO. I THINK THAT
>> YOU KNOW WHAT -- WHILE WE ARE ON THE TOPIC --
>> WHO WANTS TO BE -- WHAT SPORT DO YOU LIKE?
>> I DO TENNIS. I DO PICK A BALL.
>> TENDER, DO YOU WANT TO DO PICKLE BALL? OKAY.
>> I AM ON THE TENNIS TEAM. >> I AGREE.
>> FOOTBALL, I GUESS. >> JEFF WILL BE FOOTBALL. I
>> DENISE IS THE GOLF. >> I WOULD BE AFRAID TO SHOW OFF MY SWIMSUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARADE. I WILL BE HALF
NAKED IN THE PARADE. >> I DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL DO THAT. MARIANO WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND THIS YEAR, I AM SORRY TO SAY. WE HAVE GOLF. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER SPORTS? WE HAVE LACROSSE. WE HAVE HOCKEY. WE HAVE SOCCER. BASKETBALL AND LACROSSE. KENDRA HAS PICKLE BALL. SHARRY HAS THE TENNIS.
I WILL TAKE THE BASEBALL. DENISE HAS THE GOLF . MARIANO STILL WANTS TO BE A DIVER. HE WANTS TO BE A CLIFF DIVER WE HAVE EITHER HOCKEY, SOCCER, BASKETBALL OR LACROSSE. THOSE
ARE SOME OF THE BIG ONES. >> I COULD SHOW UP WITH A BIKE.
IDEA. THAT WOULD BE NICE, YOU COULD SIT THERE. DO YOU HAVE A BIKE UNIFORM THAT YOU WEAR? AN OUTFIT?
>> YEAH. >> THAT IS A GOOD ONE. WE
[00:15:01]
STILL HAVE HOCKEY, SOCCER, BASKETBALL AND LACROSSE. WHO IS NOT HERE TONIGHT? RUPERT IS SWIMMING. ANGELIKA . HERE ISHOW I LOOK AT IT. >> IF WE ALL AGREE, I WOULD PROBABLY LIKE TO GATHERING AT CAMILLA'S COFFEE. THESE GUYS RUN AND BIKE ALL
>> I CAN SHOW YOU. THIS IS A GROUP OF -- I MET THEM AT SWIM. ISOLATE THEM SOMETIMES.
>> WE CAN INVITE ANYONE WE WANT THE MEETING PURPOSE IS TO FINALIZE HOW WE WILL DECORATE THE FLOAT. THIS IS MORE ABOUT THE FLOAT. I LOVE YOUR IDEA. IF THEY WANT TO RUN OR BIKE ALONGSIDE IT, THAT WOULD BE COOL.
>> COMMUNITY. THEY DO ALL TYPE OF , YOU KNOW, BY THEMSELVES. IT IS NOT A LEAGUE. IT IS JUST A GROUP OF CITIZENS AND THEY GET TOGETHER WITH THE TRIATHLON BUT THEY DO BIKE, RUN AND SWIMMING. THERE IS A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT WE WILL KNOW IN THE COMMUNITY. WE COULD BE THERE, OURSELVES, DRESSED UP BUT THESE GUYS ARE THE REAL DOERS.
>> WE CAN PLAN WHAT WILL GO AROUND THE FLOAT , YOU KNOW, AFTER WE FIGURE OUT WHAT WE HAVE TO DO ABOUT THE FLOAT.
THAT IS REALLY THE WHOLE REASON WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY, IS TO DECORATE THE FLOAT AND DECIDE THE THEME. WE KNOW WHAT THE THEME IS, WHO WILL BE WHAT PARIANO, YOU WILL BRING IN A BIKE. THAT WILL KIND OF EMPHASIZE WHY THE GUYS ARE WRITING -- RIDING ALONGSIDE. AND THEY WILL PROBABLY MAKE US LOOK BAD BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL IN GREAT SHAPE. NOW WE HAVE RUPERT, LAURA AND ANGELIKA . WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF PEOPLE WHEN IT COMES TO -- GO AHEAD.
>> WE WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR APPLICATION IS UPDATED, IF YOU ARE GOING TO INCORPORATE SOMETHING, LIKE PEOPLE RUNNING ALONGSIDE OR BIKING ALONGSIDE. THAT WOULD BE IN YOUR APPLICATION. THE STIPULATIONS ARE THAT THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND IF THERE IS ANYTHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT
ABOUT THE FLOAT. >> THAT COULD BE SOME EXTERNAL LIABILITY . IF ONE OF THESE GUYS BREAKS ON THEIR BIKES OR SOMEONE GETS HURT. I DON'T KNOW. FOR RIGHT NOW, I THINK WE SHOULD JUST FOCUS ON THE FLOAT ITSELF. AND THEN HOW WE ARE GOING TO DECORATE IT. THIS IS COMING REALLY FAST. IT IS MARCH MIGHT , THAT IS THE DATE. IT IS LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY.
LAST TIME, WHEN WE WERE DOING A FLOAT, CRUNCH TIME IS THE LAST WEEK . WE START PUTTING THAT THING TOGETHER. THAT IS WHY THE THEME AND HOW WE WILL DECORATE IT, IT IS IMPORTANT.
LAST TIME WE HAD IT ALL LAID OUT SO THAT WHEN WE GOT THERE, IT WAS EASY TO PUT IT TOGETHER.
[00:20:13]
ELSE? I AM JUST LOOKING REAL QUICK.>> LAST TIME WE TALKED ABOUT OUR OFFICIAL TURF. OR SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT, WHETHER IT IS FELT OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT. >> WE DO HAVE THE FRINGE.
>> THAT IS FOR THE SITE. >> I FOUND THE DIRECTORS CHAIR.
I WILL TAKE CARE OF IT. IT IS ONE OF THESE. THE DIRECTORS CHAIR AND THE DIRECTORS -- THE CLICKER.
>> WHAT DID WE USE ON THE FLOOR LAST YEAR?
>> THE HAY. I THINK WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH STUFF THERE AND IT COVERED UP. PEOPLE WILL STANDING -- I DON'T THINK IT WILL MATTER WHAT IS ON THE FLOOR.
>> THIS IS ARTIFICIAL GRASS STUFF THAT I HAVE USED ON MY
>> THIS FLOAT IS NOT THAT BIG. WHEN WE ARE ALL STANDING ON IT, ONE DRESS LIKE PICKLE BALL HOLDING A BALL AND SOMEONE DOING TENNIS STUFF . AND SOMEONE TOSSING AROUND A FOOTBALL. SOMEONE DOING A BASEBALL.
>> WE ARE GOING TO BE ON THE FLOAT. WE WILL JUST BE DECORATING THE EDGE AND SIDES. IT WILL HAVE THE WELCOME TO PARKLAND SIGN. IT IS JUST DECORATING THE APRON. INAUDIBLE ] EVER THAT ONE PERSON IS , WE KIND OF FIGURE OUT A WAY , WHETHER WE BUILT A LITTLE STAND FOR IT OR SOMETHING. SO THAT THEIR THEME IS RIGHT BEHIND THEM. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT YOU CAN TELL THAT IS FOOTBALL. AND THEN THE PHOTOGRAPHER CAN BE WALKING AROUND AND PRETENDING LIKE HE IS TAKING SHOTS AND HAVE THE SNAP GOING HAVING THE FLASH GOING AND ALL THAT STUFF. YOU ARE GOING TO BE SITTING THERE IN A FOOTBALL OUTFIT AND YOU'RE DOING THIS AS THE GUY IS TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS. THEN HE WILL GO TO NICE GUY AND DO THIS. THEY WILL SEE. THE PARADE IS NOT THAT LONG. WE ARE JUST GOING TO BE ACTING FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND HAVING FUN WHILE WE ARE ACTING FOR SOMEONE CAN BE PLAYING THE ROLE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER -- I WILL FIND A BIG BLOWUP CAMERA THAT WILL BE FUNNY . AND HAVING THE OTHER GUY SITTING THERE WITH THE FLASH. EVERY TIME THEY DO SOMETHING, THEY CAN HIT THE FLASH.
>> WE ARTY HAVE THE PICKET FENCE.
>> NO. >> LAST YEAR THAT DESIGNATED US AS ABOVE CAB FLOAT. WE JUST HAD THE SIGN IN THE BACK THAT WE DID THAT COPIED THE BOOK AND THE BOOK WAS BECAUSE IT WAS THE HISTORICAL FLOAT. AND THE PAINTING CAME FROM THAT BOOK, THE COVER OF CANON'S BOOK.
IT IS STILL NICE BECAUSE IT HAS ALL THE THEME AND PAINTED. IT IS OUR TRADEMARK. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT WE CAN MAKE THE CAB IS LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION WAS SPORTS.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE CAN COME UP WITH SOME KIND OF SIGN.
WE JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE.
>> REMEMBER THE SIZE OF THE FLOW. YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIT ALL OF YOU ON THE FLOAT. HAVING SOMEBODY WALKING.
>> I WAS THINKING IT WOULD BE FUN , YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THE FLOAT IS GOING SLOW BUT WE WERE GETTING ON AND OFF AS THE
[00:25:01]
FLOAT WAS GOING YOU HAVE THE DIRECTOR AND PHOTOGRAPHER ON THE FLOAT WITH THE BACKDROP. THE BACKDROP CAN BE SOMETHING WHERE EACH ONE COMES UP ONE BY ONE AND THEY TAKE THEIR PHOTOS AND THEN THEY GET BACK OFF BUT AND THEN EXPORT COMES UP. LIKE A PHOTO BOOTH. BECAUSE IT IS LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION. YOU CANNOT OBVIOUSLY HAVE NINE PEOPLE ON THE FLOAT. YOU CAN HAVE ONE THAT IS ABOUT READY TO GET THEIR PICTURE TAKEN IN THE FRONT AND THE OTHER ONE GETTING HIS PICTURE TAKEN WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND THE GUY WITH THE DIRECTOR.>> THEY MAY HAVE GUIDELINES GETTING ON AND OFF THE FLOAT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT PEOPLE JUMPING ON AND OFF -- UNDERSTOOD HE WILL NOT DO IT WHILE IT IS MOVING. YOU HAVE A DRIVER WHO MAY NOT REALIZE SOME OF IS ABOUT TO GET ON OR OFF THE FLOAT. I THOUGHT MIGHT BE YOU HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WERE ON GETTING THEIR PICTURES TAKEN IF MARI AND IS CYCLING AND HE IS CYCLING AROUND AND JEFF HAS THE BANNER AND HE IS WALKING.
>> NO ONE WILL SEE US TWICE, ANYWAYS. IT COULD BE THE SAME THREE PEOPLE SITTING ON THE FLOAT. ONCE YOU PASS THEM THEY WILL NOT SEE YOU DOING THE SAME THING.
>> THE PHOTOGRAPHER COULD TAKE PICTURES OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE OFF THE FLOAT TOO AND TRYING TO GET A LONG SHOT OF JEFF THROWING AN EXCELLENT TOUCHDOWN.
>> IF THE FLOAT HAPPENS TO STOP AND WE WANT TO SHUFFLE PEOPLE, WE CAN -- THAT DAY, WE CAN DECIDE WHOEVER SHOWS UP IN COSTUME CAN BE THE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE UP ON THE FLOAT. WE CAN FIGURE THAT OUT AND THEN SWITCH WHEN THE FLOAT STOPS. I REMEMBER IT STOPPED QUITE A BIT THROUGHOUT THE PARADE BECAUSE THERE IS A REASON WHY THE FLOAT STOPPED.
>> WITHOUT THE FENCE YOU COULD SIT ON THE SIDE. IT IS VERY LOW
>> THERE IS WAYS. UNTIL WE ACTUALLY GET TO THE FLOAT AND START DECORATING IT, THAT IS WHEN WE BRAINSTORM A LOT AND THE TRAILER WAS THERE. THAT IS WHAT WE CAME UP WITH. LET US PUT THIS HERE AND THERE. WE NEVER DREW IT OUT. OUR MINDS ALL GOING WHEN WE FINALLY GOT THERE AND SAW THE FLOAT TO FIGURE OUT HOW IT WOULD GO I JUST FIGURED, FOR THE SAKE OF THE FLOAT, SINCE IT WILL BE ABOUT SPORTS, I JUST FIGURED WE WOULD FLOOD IT WITH ALL THE SPORTS THEMES AND THEN HAVE THE PHOTOGRAPHER GOING AROUND. THAT IS A GREAT IDEA.
>> I VOLUNTEER TO LOOK AT THIS BANNER . IF YOU WANT TO HELP ME
SOURCE IT. >> I WILL JOIN HIM. IT IS FUNNY BECAUSE ONE OF MY PARALEGALS OWNS THE CAMERA CLINIC. SHE HAS EVERY IMAGINABLE CAMERA THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE AT THIS PLACE. IT IS CRAZY. THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 50 YEARS. I AM SURE THEY HAVE SOME REALLY COOL CAMERAS THAT SHE MIGHT LET US USE FOR THE DAY . IF WE BREAK IT, WE BREAK IT.
>> I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. I THINK IT WILL BE PRETTY
COOL. I GOT POINTS? >> WE HAVE A THEME. WE HAVE
>> THAT IS GOING TO BE THE IMPORTANT THING. JEFF WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE TONIGHT , EXCEPT THE FACT THAT IT IS HIS 40TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AND THEY ARE ON A CRUISE. HE DID SAY LET HIM KNOW , YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU ALL DECIDE AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT DATES. DATES OF WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO JEFF'S HOUSE ARE NOT SOMETHINGS WE HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC MEETING ABOUT. JUST SO YOU KNOW THE FLOAT BASE FROM THE CITY WILL BE AVAILABLE AS EARLY AS THE SATURDAY BEFORE , WHICH IS WHAT I BELIEVE YOU HAD LAST TIME. SCHEDULING THAT AND WHEN WE CAN DROP THAT OFF WITH JEFF IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO BEHIND THE SCENES. AGAIN, YOU ALL CAN GO THROUGH ME , IF YOU WANT TO, TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT TO EVERYBODY ABOUT WHEN YOU PUT IT ALL TOGETHER. THAT WILL BE BASED ON JEFF'S AVAILABILITY
AS WELL. >> YOU COULD SEND A BLANKET EMAIL SAYING THIS IS THE DESIGNATED TIME TOGETHER AT
JEFF'S HOUSE. >> I WILL GET SOME INFORMATION FROM JEFF FIRST AS TO HIS AVAILABILITY, WHICH WOULD BE
IMPORTANT. >> MORNING THROUGH NOON. THERE IS A TENNIS FUNDRAISER SATURDAY ,
[00:30:02]
ALSO. IT IS NOT A PUBLIC EVENT. IT IS JUST A TENNISFUNDRAISER. >> TO BE HAVE ACCESS TO A HELIUM BALLOON? A HELIUM TANK ? DO WE HAVE ONE HERE IN THE CITY
GIMMICK >> NO, WHEN EVER WE NEED WHEN WE ARE GOING AND PURCHASING IT FROM SOMEPLACE , LIKE BJ'S.
>> DO THEY SELDOM? >> I THINK WALMART HAS THEM AS WELL. THAT SMALL WHEN I GOT THAT BLOWS UP TO 25 BALLOONS,
YOU CAN GET THAT AT WALMART. >> I JUST FOUND 32 INCHES BIG.
I FIGURED I'D GET A WHOLE BUNCH . IT'S IS LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTIONS. IT IS A CAMERA THAT IS A BLOWUP BALLOON. IT SAYS, LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION PRINTED
>> THE BIGGER THE BALLOON, THE MORE HELIUM IT WILL TAKE. IF YOU GET ONE OF THE HELIUM TANKS THAT IF IT SAYS IT BLOWS UP 25 STANDARD BALLOONS , IT MIGHT BE ONE TANK PER BALLOON. I AM NOT SO SURE. THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN YOU ARE ORDERING IT.
>> CAN YOU GO TO PARTY CITY AND PAY FOR THEM TO BLOW IT UP?
>> I AM NOT SURE. >> WE WILL FIGURE IT OUT BUT THESE ARE COOL. WE WILL GET FOUR, ONE FOR EACH CORNER. IT KIND OF SAYS THE WHOLE THEME OF OUR FLOAT, LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION -- BEING OF THE PARADE, EXACTLY. GOOD.
>> THERE IS A PRIZE FOR THE BEST FLOAT? RIGHT?
>> YEAH. >> IT ARRIVES TOMORROW. WHAT THE -- WE CAN TRY ONE AND SEE HOW IT WORKS. THIS IS CRAZY.
>> NOW WE KNOW WHO OUR DESIGNATED SHOPAHOLIC IS. DO
WE NEED TO CALL MARIA? >> DO NOT TELL HER. SHE IS ON A NEED TO KNOW BASIS. IS THIS BEING RECORDED?
>> CLAPPER THING. NOW, WE CANNOT FIND IT. ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS
ABOUT ANYTHING? HERE IT IS. >> DID YOU NEED TO ASSIGN ANGELIKA RUPERT AND LAURA? HE IS STILL SHOPPING.
>> I DO MY BEST WORK UNDER PRESSURE. WE HAVE ANGELIKA, RUPERT AND LAURA. WE CAN MAKE MAYBE RUPERT MIGHT WANT HOCKEY OR SOCCER OR BASKETBALL. I WILL CALL EACH ONE OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY AND SEE WHICH ONE THEY MIGHT -- THEY MIGHT SAY, MY SON IS A BASKETBALL PLAYER.
>> I HAVE HOCKEY JERSEYS OR SOMETHING.
>> KIDS, IF WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE, MY SON CAN BE A
BASKETBALL PLAYER. >> WE NEED THE DIRECTOR AND PHOTOGRAPHER AS WELL. WE WILL GET PEOPLE FOR THAT. I WILL FIND PEOPLE TO DO THOSE JOBS. WE HAVE THE DIRECTOR'S CHAIR THAT I WILL GET. WE HAVE THE DIRECTORS GAVEL THING THAT WE HAVE TO GET. AND THEN I JUST GOT THE BALLOONS THAT CAN GO ON ALL OF THE CORNERS. WE CAN CHECK INTO MARIO'S IDEA OR IF WE JUST HAVE TO CHANGE -- FIRST, YOU WANT TO SEE IF THEY WANT TO DO. IF THEY SAY, YES, WE CAN CONTACT THE CITY TO SEE IF WE CAN HAVE THEM RIDE ALONG BESIDE US. THAT WOULD BE KIND OF NEAT TO SEE THAT. DO THEY HAVE SHIRTS THAT SAY RACE
>> WHAT I WILL DO IS I WILL CHECK WITH CAESAR AND SEE IF HE WANTS TO STILL BE ON THE FLOAT WEARING HIS UNIFORM BECAUSE HIS UNIFORM IS PRETTY BAD. IT IS COOL. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT CAESAR, I'M TALKING ABOUT SEES A BACKER
RELA, THE RACE CAR DRIVER. >> HE HAS SOME PRETTY COOL GEAR. LET ME USE IT. WE HAVE JEFF THERE. I AM STILL TRYING . I'M NOT GIVING UP ON SOME PEOPLE. RIGHT NOW, I THINK EVERYBODY -- IT IS REALLY HARD THIS TYPE OF THE YEAR TO GET EVERYONE TO BUCKLE DOWN. PLUS, THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THEIR
AGENTS AND EVERYBODY ELSE. >> I THINK IT IS BASEBALL
[00:35:05]
SEASON. THERE IS NO CHANCE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET RIZZO BECAUSE HE HAS BUSY AS HECK THAT TIME OF YEAR. MAYBE WE CAN GET HIS BROTHER. ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING? NOW THAT WE HAVE THIS -- THAT IS WHY I WANTED EVERYONE TO HAVE IT NOW. YOU CAN KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO WORK WITH. KENDRA, YOU SEE I BOUGHT THE PICKLE BALL AND YOU HAVE THE SIGN THAT WILL COME IN.>> CAN USE THESE -- THE THINGS I BOUGHT WAS NOT AS MUCH TO HOLD BUT TO DECORATE WITH. THEY WERE $30 FOR FOUR PICKLE BALL RACKETS. WE CAN PUT NAILS IN THEM FOR ALL I CARE. WE CAN MAKE THE FLOAT LOOK COOL. EVERYBODY HAS THEIR THEME AND
THEN -- >> WHAT ABOUT THROWING ASHLEY ALLEN SAVORING, TOSSING ITEMS FOR THE PARADE?
>> THEY PREFER NOT TO. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE
COMPLETELY FORBIDDEN IT. >> THAT IS WHAT I WAS GOING TO
>> TO HAND THEM OUT INSTEAD OF THROWING THEM.
>> I DON'T WANT TO TELL HIM THAT BECAUSE HE WILL BUY A
BUNCH. >> IF YOU ARE DOWN WITH THE
SIGN OR YOUR CYCLING -- YEAH. >> TO SELL IT TO THE KIDS.
>> AGAIN, IT ALL, FOR SOME REASON, IT IS WHEN MY DAUGHTER DOES HER PERFORMANCES , I SIT AND GO, I DON'T HOW SHE WILL DO IT. AND THEN SHOW DAY JUST HAPPENS. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN WE DO THESE FLOATS WHEN WE FINALLY MEET AT JEFF'S HOUSE AND WE HAVE THE TRAILER BEAR. AND ALL THE GREAT MINDS ARE STANDING THERE, WE'VE GOT TO DO THIS AND THAT. JEFF IS REALLY SMART TOO JEFF COMES UP WITH SOME GREAT IDEAS. AT THE END OF THE DAY, I AM NOT CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THIS THING WILL LOOK. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO PAINT ANYTHING.
>> AT LEAST YOU HAVE A THEME AND YOU HAVE DECIDED ON IT AND IT IS JUST THE INDIVIDUAL ITEMS THAT YOU WILL BE USING ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU WILL PICK UP AS YOU GO ALONG BESIDES WHAT YOU
HAVE ORDERED. >> I LIKE THE IDEA OF DURING
THE WITH SOCCER BALLS. >> THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE
DIFFICULT. >> THEY DO HAVE LITTLE FOOTBALLS THAT ARE NOT EVEN THE HARD ONES. THEY ARE THE SOFT ONES. THEY DO HAVE ALL THAT STUFF. PARKLAND SHOULD LOOK AT SUPPLYING LITTLE STRESS BALLS FOR US TO USE IN TRAFFIC.
>> EVERYONE JUST NEEDS TO GET THE OUTFITS TOGETHER. MARIO, YOURS IS EASY. YOU HAVE THE BIKE GEAR. YOU ARE GOING TO DO THE GOLF AND THAT IS A PIECE OF CAKE. YOU CAN GET A GOLF BAG AND STUFF LIKE THAT. IF YOU WANT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ONE, I HAVE -- MY DAUGHTER PLAY FOR THE DOUGLAS GOLF TEAM.
IF YOU WANT, I CAN BRING THAT. AND THEY ARE GOING TO KNOW YOU
ARE A GOLFER. >> THERE IS GOLF CLUBS IN IT
AND EVERYTHING? >> I JUST HAVE TO RETURN THEM OR ELSE SHE WILL KILL ME. AND THEN TENNIS, PIECE OF CAKE. YOU HAVE ALL THE TENNIS GEAR. I CAN TELL KENDRA IS READY FOR PICKLE BALL. I THINK WE WILL BE FINE. I THINK EVERYONE WILL BE DRESSED. I WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND THE DIRECTOR. I WILL GET THE DIRECTOR CHAIR. I THINK IT WOULD BE COOL TO HAVE UP THERE. AT LEAST THEY WILL SEE THE THEME AND IT WILL BE , WE WILL GET THE BALLOON WITH LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION. EVEN IF WE AFFIX THEM SO THEY ARE NOT FLYING AROUND -- YOU CAN STILL BLOW UP A BALLOON AND AFFIX IT TO SOMETHING, TAPE IT TO A CORNER. YOU CAN STILL KIND OF SEE THE THEME. IT IS A BIG CAMERA.
>> THEY WILL JUST BLOW IN THE WIND. MAYBE IT IS JUST BETTER TO AFFIX THEM TO SOMETHING. YOU BLOW THEM UP AND YOU PUT THEM ON A STAND. WE WILL FIGURE ALL OF THAT OUT. THAT IS WHAT JEFF IS GOOD AT. HE IS GOOD AT THE PLANNING PHASE AND BUILDING STUFF. ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING? THEY HAVE
[00:40:01]
THOSE TOO. I HAVE ALREADY LOOKED AT ALL OF THOSE THINGS.LEFT. >> TAKE IT EASY. THEY HAD IT AND IT WAS COOL BECAUSE IT WAS A BLOWUP ONE IT WAS KIND OF COOL. HERE IS THESE THINGS, LIKE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
HERE IS THE POLICE ONE THAT YOU CAN GET. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL COME IN OR NOT. THE WI-FI IS NOT WORKING WELL IN HERE.
THEY HAVE ALL OF THAT STUFF >>
>> I THINK THE DIRECTOR SHOULD BE THE REFEREE. WE WILL GET A REFEREE. MAYBE WE CAN PUT A SIGN ON THEM, DIRECTOR. THEY CAN SEE HE IS A REFEREE BY LOOKING AT HIM BUT OW HE IS A DIRECTOR. AND HE CAN BE THERE WITH HIS LITTLE DIRECTOR THING.
HAT. >> I WILL WORK ON GETTING THE GOAL FOR THE BACK AND THE BUFFING FOR THE FRONT.
>> TALKING ABOUT THEY ARE SIX FEET HIGH. THEY ARE BIG. YOU TIE THEM DOWN. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BLOW AWAY. THEY HAVE OTHER ONES, ALSO, NOT JUST THE BLOWUP ONCE.
>> WOULD NOT SAY THAT ON THE RECORD.
>> NOW WE KNOW WHERE TO FIND THEM.
>> BUT IF -- WHEN IS A GOING TO GET TO JEFF'S HOUSE?
>> WE CAN GET IT THERE AS EARLY AS THE SATURDAY BEFORE, I THINK THEY SAID. WE NEED TO PIN THAT DOWN TO SEE WHEN JEFF'S AVAILABLE IT IS AND MATCH IT WHEN THE CITY CAN DELIVER IT.
>> HIS DOORS ARE OPEN. EVEN IF I AM AT HOME, COME ON OVER AND START BUILDING ITS. I AM NOT CONCERNED ABOUT HIM. HE IS HOSPITABLE. IT IS MARCH 9TH. LET ME CHECK SOMETHING REAL QUICK. SO MARCH 2ND IS THE DAY THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE THERE. IF IT CAN BE THERE MARCH 2ND, IF EVERYONE WANTS TO CHECK THEIR SCHEDULES AND PUT IT DOWN IF WE COULD SPEND A
>> I THINK THEY BROUGHT IT TO HIM ON A FRIDAY. THAT DID MAKE
>> THE FLOAT WAS THERE WHEN THEY WERE PAINTING. THEY WERE EXTREMELY HELPFUL, THOSE KIDS. THEY PAINTED THE BARN AND EVERYTHING. IF IT CAN BE THERE ON THE 2ND, I KNOW I WILL BE
>> I'M SURE JEFF WILL WANT TO SIT DOWN AND LOOK AT IT , LIKE I AM, AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT, IN OUR MINDS, HOW MANY THINGS WE CAN FIT ONCE YOU SEE THE FLOAT. MARIO CAN BE THERE HELPING US.
YOU HAVE BUILT THINGS AND YOU WILL KNOW MORE THAN ANYBODY.
IT WILL BE FUN. I AM NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE FINAL
PRODUCT . IT >> LAST YEAR YOU WERE THE ONLY BOARD OF COMMITTEE THAT HAD A FLOAT. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER BOARD OR COMMITTEE THAT IS HAVING WHEN I COMMEND THIS YEAR. IT IS POSSIBLE BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD THERE IS. I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU ALL KUDOS FOR BEING A GREAT TEAM TOGETHER AND HAVING FUN TOGETHER AND DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THAT IS WHAT COMMUNITY IS ALL ABOUT. CONGRATULATIONS.
>> CAN REFER OUT THE CHALLENGE TO PNC?
>> YOU CAN PUT IT OUT THERE. >> ONE OTHER QUESTION, THAT IS RIGHT, FORGET IT. I THINK WE SPOKE ABOUT IT, TO GET THE KIDS
FROM THE YOUTH AMBASSADORS. >> UNFORTUNATE, LIKE LAST YEAR, THE S.A.T. IS THE SAME MORNING. THEY WILL BE AT THE EVENT LATER ON SELLING T-SHIRTS. IT JUST HAPPENS TO HAPPEN AGAIN, JUST LIKE IT DID LAST YEAR. WE WILL BE WISHING THEM LUCK WHILE WE ARE IN THE PARADE.
>> ANY INSTRUCTION FOR DAY OF? WHERE TO BE?
[00:45:06]
>> SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE AT THAT MEETING, LIKE LAST TIME. THERE IS A SAFETY MEETING WHERE THEY GO OVER ALL THE DETAILS. YOU KNOW MARCELLA IS THE HEAD OF THE CITY'S FLOAT. SHE HAS ALL
>> BEVERAGE 27TH. I BELIEVE THE MEETING IS RIGHT HERE IN
CHAMBERS. >> THEY DO HAVE SET UP BY A CERTAIN TIME BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT PEOPLE IN AND OUT.
THERE WILL BE SOME RESTRICTIONS ON WHEN THEY CLOSE THE PARK FOR PARKING AS WELL. THEY MAY ASK EVERYONE TO BE THERE BY 8:45 OR 9:00 BECAUSE THEY SHUT DOWN THE ROADS AND THE PARKS.
>> THAT IS AT 6:00 P.M., RIGHT?
>> DO WE HAVE A LIST OF OTHER PARTICIPANTS?
>> I DON'T. THEY ARE STILL TAKING THEM. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THEY ARE NOT TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR THE PARADE? NEVERMIND. I DO NOT HAVE A LIST. DO WE KNOW THE NUMBER OF
OTHER PARTICIPANTS? >> IT IT IS SOMETHING PUBLIC WE CAN LOOK AT OF WHO ELSE IS COMING TO THE PARADE?
>> IT IS SOMETHING I CAN ASK BUT I DO NOT KNOW. PARKS AND RECREATION HAS AN ONGOING LIST BUT EVERYONE WILL BE HERE AT THE SAFETY MEETING. THAT WHEN ON FEBRUARY 27TH.
>> DO WE NEED TO PUT THAT IN THE AGENDA RIGHT NOW?
>> FEBRUARY 27TH AT 6:00. IT IS UP TO THE CHAIR, WHO YOU WANT REPRESENTING THE GROUP OR IF YOU WANT MULTIPLE PEOPLE HERE FROM THE GROUP, BUT IS UP TO YOU.
>> IT WAS JUST ME AND SHARRY. IF YOU WANT TO COME, YOU CAN COME. I KNOW ME AND SHARRY WILL BE HERE. WE DID IT LAST YEAR.
IT IS FINE. >> WE CAN MAKE SURE WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU LEARN FROM THAT MEETING, YOU PASS ON TO
EVERYONE ELSE. >> ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO
>> WE CAN. WE CAN'T EVEN SEND EVERYONE A LINK TO THE VIDEO OF THIS RECORDING SO THAT EVERYONE CAN GRAB EVERY LAST DETAIL, INCLUDING WHERE WE WILL FIND THE GOAL POST AND HOW MANY TIMES BILL SHOPS AT AMAZON.
>> I MEANT THE SAFETY MEETING. WILL I BE ALLOWED TO SHARE MY NOTES WITH THIS GROUP BY EMAIL?
>> THE SAFEST WAY TO DO IT IS SEND IT TO ME AND I CAN SEND IT OUT TO THE GROUP. THAT WAY NO ONE CAN SAY STUFF IS GOING BACK AND FORTH. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
>> YOUR POSITION IN THE PARADE . LAST YEAR I TOOK IT BECAUSE I GAVE IT TO PUBLIC WORKS BEFORE THE PARADE. I THINK IT IS JUST EASIER TO DO IT THAT WAY SINCE IT IS OUR GUYS DRIVING THE
VEHICLE. >> IS THAT THE SPACE?
>> YES, THAT IS WHAT THE NUMBER WILL BE.
>> IT WILL HELP LOCATE YOU ONCE YOU GET THERE.
>> THEY WILL HAVE EVERYTHING SPRAY-PAINTED OUT.
>> WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT ME BEING ABLE TO REACH OUT TO ROBERT, LAURIE AND ANGELIKA REGARDING WHAT THEY PREFER AS
FAR AS OUR THEME? >> I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
I TEND TO THINK THAT IS NOT A DECISION THAT IS BEING MADE AS TO WHAT THE ENTIRE BOARD IS DOING. IT IS JUST, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO WEAR? I THINK THAT WOULD BE SAFE ENOUGH. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THINGS SUPERSAFE, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO CONTACT
THEM MYSELF . >> I CAN EMAIL YOU THE QUESTIONS. THEY SAY, HERE IS THE FOUR THEMES THAT WE NEED FILLED. REGARDING RUPERT, LAURIE, AND ANGELIKA WITH WHAT
THEY PREFER TO DO. >> ABSOLUTELY. I WOULD BE
