>> PARKLAND DAVE 2025. WHO IS EXCITED? FELICIA CHINA.
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION. SO WE HAVE PARKLAND DAVE 2025 ON THE HORIZON. WITH THAT BEING SAID WE HAVE ESTABLISHED HAVING THEMES FOR OUR PARADE. IT MAKES PARTICIPANTS MORE EAGER TO PARTICIPATE. AND WE HAVE A LIST OF SOME THINGS WE WOULD LIKE YOUR INPUT/BOAT ON TO SELECT A THEME FOR PARKLAND EIGHT 2025. WE HAVE NARROWED IT DOWN. THE THEMES ARE,, CON, , CON , WILD WILD WEST, SPORTS, ROCK 'N ROLL, CIRCUS SPECTACULAR, WORLD TOUR, PIRATES OF PARKLAND , WE COULD GO LOTS OF WAYS WITH PIRATES OF PARKLAND. JURASSIC PARK LAND. AND OUT OF THIS WORLD. SPACE THEME. SO, -- IF YOU HAVE ANY INPUT -- OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO REPEAT THEM.
>> I WOULD >> I HAVE A COUPLE COPIES.
>> WE HAVE, CON. WILD WILD WEST, SPORTS, ROCK 'N ROLL, CIRCUS SPECTACULAR, WORLD TOUR , PIRATES -- WORLD TOUR COULD GO A LOT OF DIFFERENT -- IT COULD BE THAT WAY.
>> IN THE WORLD TOUR. >> INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR
DIFFERENT FLAGS >> IT COULD BE THAT WORLD TOUR.
SOMEONE COULD BE TAYLOR SWIFT ERAS WORLD TOUR. SOMEONE ELSE COULD BE BON JOVI'S WORLD TOUR. AND THEN THE WORLD OF
POKER TOUR ON A DIFFERENT FLOW. >> WE WOULD COME UP WITH A GREAT TAGLINE. TO ASSIST WITH THE THEME. BUT THE TAGLINES ARE NOT THERE BECAUSE WE DID NOT WANT TO FULLY DIVE IN UNTIL WE HAD COMMITMENT WHAT DIRECTION WE WANTED TO GO ON. PIRATES OF PARKLAND. I THINK THAT ONE IS A LITTLE SELF-EXPLANATORY. AND JURASSIC PARK LAND. AND THEN OUT OF THIS WORLD , SPACE.
[00:25:02]
>> SO JUST TO GET AN INITIAL LAST YEAR WAS THE MOVIE THEME WHICH WAS KIND OF LIGHTS AND MOVIE THEATER PRODUCTION.
ANYTHING LIKE THAT PROBABLY SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF. JUST SO WE DO SOMETHING CONTRARY OR DIFFERENT THIS YEAR.
>> SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? >> ARE YOU READY TO VOTE ON
>> I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW -- THERE ARE SEVEN OR EIGHT ON HERE. WHICH TO THE STAFF FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT?
>> OUR STAFF LIKES JURASSIC PARK LAND. THE PIRATES OF
PARKLAND. THE CIRCUS. >> CIRCUS SPECTACULAR.
>> I FEEL LIKE THAT WOULD BE ESPECIALLY FOR THE SCHOOLS TO DECORATE. THE SMALL ORGANIZATIONS. TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY EASY FOR THE KIDS.
>> ALONG WITH THE THEME NATALIE WANTED ME TO MENTION WE ARE ADDING WE HAVE THE PARK LEN DAY SHIRTS THAT WE SELL. THAT REPRESENT PARKLAND. WE ARE GOING TO ADD A CONTEST OF THAT.
SOMEONE CAN DESIGN THE SHIRT THEME. PART OF THIS IS NOT JUST FOR OUR PARADE BUT OUR THEMED SHIRT WILL BE OUR SHIRT WILL BE
BASED AROUND THE THEME. >> IF I COULD OFFER WILD WEST SINCE WE HAVE SO MANY
EQUESTRIANS IN PARKLAND. >> OKAY
>> SO THAT IS YOUR TOP THREE. WILD WEST, CIRCUS, PIRATES.
WOULD YOU LIKE -- >> UP TO THE STAFF TO CHOOSE.
>> OKAY THAT IS GREAT. >> WE WILL JUST BE WILLING
PARTICIPANTS. >> YOU GUYS ARE ALL GOOD WITH
>> PERFECT >> OKAY. I'M SORRY?
>> WE HAD LIKE 40. THERE IS NINE.
>> SO WE'VE GOT FOUR. WE WILL DO A STAFF BOAT THIS WEEK. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. >> IT WAS HARD TO GET DOWN TO NINE FROM THE 40 WE HAD. WE APPRECIATE THAT.
[9. Old Business]
THAT'S IT >> WE HAVE ONE MORE. OLD
BUSINESS. >> SO WE BROUGHT UP AT THE LAST MEETING THE STRATEGIC PLANNING WITH OUR COMMISSION. THEY HAD DIRECTED US TO MEET WITH OUR PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD. IN REGARDS TO COMING UP WITH IDEAS ON HOW WE CAN GET SOME TEEN INVOLVEMENT. WE STARTED GATHERING SOME OF YOUR IDEAS AS FAR AS THE BMX SHOWCASE HAVING OPEN JIM TAYLOR SWIFT TONIGHT. I WILL ONE OF THE OTHER IDEAS THAT WAS MENTIONED WAS TEEN SUMMER READING WHICH THE LIBRARY HAS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED. THAT ONE HAS BEEN PRETTY SUCCESSFUL FOR THEM SO FAR. WE JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP WITH THAT NOW THAT YOU HAVE HAD TIME TO TAKE IT HOME. IF ANYONE HAD OTHER IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS THEY WANTED TO BRING FORWARD SO WE CAN REGROUP
WITH OUR TEAM. >> WE ARE READY.
>> IN THE LINEUP ACTUALLY YOUR LAST COMMENT -- WANTING TO STAY QUIET IN THEIR ROOMS. I WAS THINKING OF KNITTING OR A CROCHET CLASS. LIKE 18 ONE NOT A SENIOR. OR SOME TYPE OF SIP AND PAINT WHICH IS NONALCOHOLIC FOR THEM. YOU COULD SERVE SOMETHING BUBBLY WATER OR SOMETHING. SOME KIND OF SIP AND PAINT CLASS AT THE RECREATION FOR TEENS. THE TAYLOR SWIFT TONIGHT. LEADING UP TO THAT YOU CAN LEAD A FRIENDSHIP BRACELET
[00:30:02]
MAKING CLASS TO ENGAGE WITH IT. AND THEN ALSO I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WOULD DO THIS. YOU WOULD HAVE TO PARTNER WITH SOMEBODY.A COLD-ATHON WITH THE COLDER SCHOOL. THEY DO THAT QUITE OFTEN SCHOOL. ANY OF THOSE THINGS THAT THEY DO HOLD OF BONDS FOR TEENS. WITH THE BIKES ALLIKE RELAY RACE. FOR TEENAGERS WHERE THEY COULD DRESS IN DIFFERENT THEMES OR DO WHATEVER. THIS MAY BE MORE PRETEEN BUT A POKÉMON TREATY.
>> IT IS VERY LIKE PRETEEN. >> IT'S LIKE NINE, 10 OR 11 YEARS OLD. THAT MIGHT BE TOO YOUNG OF AIDEN H FOR THE DEMOGRAPHIC YOU'RE LOOKING FOR WITH THIS.
>> TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA NO NEED TO REINVENT THE WHEEL. MY 13-YEAR-OLD IS TAKING SHRINES CLASS AT -- IN EVERYDAY CLASS FROM 3 TO 5. IT IS $180 FOR ONE SESSION WHICH IS TWO WEEKS.
THAT IS THAT AN IDEA FOR PROGRAMMING. TWO HOURS A DAY, 10 HOURS A WEEK $180 EVERY TWO WEEKS.
>> WE CANNOT DO THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT. YOU CAN DO FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS OR ANY CROCHET ANYTHING --
>> YOU DO BRING UP A GOOD POINT. WE DON'T NECESSARILY JUST NEED TO MAKE IT LIKE A TEENAGER NIGHT OUT ACTIVITY. WE COULD EXPAND OUR PROGRAMMING AS A WHOLE. AND PROVIDE SOME OF THESE FOR THAT AGE GROUP TO BE SPECIFIC TO. THE CERAMICSTHING SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH EVEN THOUGH WE MAY NOT HAVE TO -- WE DID IN ANOTHER CITY. NONETHELESS THERE IS STILL THE ABILITY THEY CAN MAKE IT. THEY GET THEIR PIECE LATER. THEY TAKE IT AWAY AND
THEY -- >> SOME PROGRAMMING EXPANSION
IDEAS. >> THE I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME. IN THE PARK OR QUIZ IN THE PARK OR HUNT IN THE
>> THERE ARE CLUES AND NICKELS AROUND THE CITY. IT IS NOT NECESSARILY A GEO-TAGGING THING. THEY GO ON THE WEBSITE AND THERE IS A PALOMA. THERE IS A CLUE RELEASED RELATED TO THE
POEM. >> THEN YOU GO TO THE PARK LOCATION. YOU FIND THE CLUE AND THERE IS A RIDDLE. YOU WRITE DOWN THE ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE. AFTER YOU HAVE GONE TO ALL THREE LOCATIONS YOU SUBMIT . IF YOU SUBMIT IT AND HAVE THE CORRECT ANSWERS YOU GET A PRIZE.
>> ARE THERE VENDORS THAT WILL COME TO YOUR CITY AND DO A
GEO-FOR TEENAGERS? >> VERSUS US HAVING TO REINVENT THE WHEEL. MY KIDS LIKE MY SON IS 15 LIKES TO BE OUT OF THE
HOUSE. [INAUDIBLE] . >> A WHOLE MONTH.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY VENDORS. IT IS OBVIOUSLY AN IDEA THAT WE WILL JOT DOWN AND TAKE A LOOK AT DIFFERENT
>> TRAN02 >> THOSE ARE ALL GOOD THINGS.
SOMETHING TO KEEP THEM ENGAGED. >> IF I JUST MOVED HERE HOW
WOULD I KNOW? >> GREAT QUESTION. ANY OF OUR PARTICIPANTS WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN ANY ACTIVITY WITHIN OUR -- THEY ARE IN OUR SYSTEM CALLED -- WE JUST SENT OUT AN EMAIL TO ANYONE WHO HAD A CHILD OR FAMILY MEMBER WITHIN THAT AGE GROUP. SO THEY GOT AN AUTOMATED EMAIL IN REGARDS TO OUR LAST TEEN NIGHT OUT. ADDITIONALLY IT HAS BEEN ADDED IT IS ON OUR WEBSITE AND FACEBOOK. BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM YOU ALL AND THE YOUTH AMBASSADORS WE DID MEET WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT. AND DISCUSSED HOW FACEBOOK IS NOT NECESSARILY THEIR DEMOGRAPHIC.
SO THEY HAVE STARTED COMING UP WITH SOME TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT TO EQUIP OUR TEAM TO COME UP WITH THE CONTENT SO THEY CAN USE FOR INSTAGRAM. WE ARE NOT THERE BECAUSE WE ARE GOVERNMENT AND THERE ARE SOME RULES THAT WE ARE LEARNING ABOUT INSTAGRAM. WE WILL BE MOVING FORWARD AND TRYING TO TARGET THEM SOON. ON THAT INSTAGRAM FOR OUR TEEN PROGRAMMING. WE
ARE GETTING THERE. >> COULD YOU WORK OUT AN
[00:35:03]
ARRANGEMENT WITH THE BIG 80S TO PUSH FACEBOOK CONTENT ON THEIRPAGES? >> WE HAVE SENT THEM FLYERS. WE HAVE SENT OUR A EACH ONE BOARD OR MANAGEMENT COMPANY FLYERS.
THERE ALSO ONE OF THE ONES THAT APPROACHED US ABOUT HAVING THINGS FOR TEENS. SO WE SEND IT TO THEM ELECTRONICALLY.
>> I'M WONDERING BECAUSE MOST OF THEM HAVE FACEBOOK PAGES AND THEIR MOSTLY MEMBERS ONLY. YOU HAVE TO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY.
I WONDER IF YOU COULD PUSH STUFF OUT TO THE DIFFERENT EIGHT MANAGERS AND HAVE IT POSTED WOODEN WITH THE PARENTS NOT SEE IT? THE KIDS WON'T SEE IT ON FACEBOOK. MY KIDS NEITHER OF THEM HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE. ONE DOES BECAUSE HE POSTS PICTURES SO GRANDPARENTS CAN SEE THEM.
>> IS A GREAT IDEA. MAYBE IT IS SOMETHING WE CAN WORK WITH THEM ON IN REGARDS TO SHARING THE CITY'S POST AS WELL. WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM THEY WOULD PREFER US TO PARTNER WITH PEOPLE WHO JUST SHARE WHAT WE POST RATHER THAN
CREATING THEIR OWN. >> BECAUSE THERE IS AN A PRESIDENTS ASSOCIATION. I BET IF YOU REACHED OUT TO THEM THEY WOULD INSTRUCT MOST OF THEM WOULD INSTRUCT THEIR EDITORS TO PUSH IT OUT. BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO KNOW IT IS COMING. IN OTHER WORDS I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THEIR EMAIL ADDRESSES ESSAY LOOK FOR OUR POST AND PUSH FORWARD TO YOUR COMMUNITY OR WHATEVER. AND HE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW
MANY HOMES 1800? >> A COUPLE THOUSAND? 900. THAT
IS A LOT OF TEENS. >> BECAUSE I THINK THE PARENTS I THINK YOU GOT TWO DIFFERENT CONSTITUENCIES THAT NEED TO SEE IT. THE KIDS NEED TO WANT TO GO BUT THE PARENTS NEED TO KNOW IT
IS HAPPENING. >> I AGREE. IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO YOUR A THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND I BELIEVE THE PRESIDENTS HAVE RECEIVED IT. YOU CAN QUOTE ME THAT EVERY PRESIDENT HAS RECEIVED. ALL THE MANAGEMENT COMPANIES HAVE RECEIVED IT. THAT THEY ACTUALLY SEND IT OUT. THAT WOULD BE --
>> WE CAN WORK WITH YOU DAVID IN REGARDS TO TRYING TO COORDINATE SOMETHING OR MAYBE NEXT TIME I KNOW THEY MEET QUARTERLY. THEY DON'T MEET MONTHLY. IT MAY NOT EVEN BE QUARTERLY ANYMORE. EVEN IF IT IS SOMETHING AN ITEM THAT WE COULD GET PUT ON THE AGENDA YOU COULD HELP US GET ONTO THE AGENDA. WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM IN REGARDS TO HOW THE FUNCTIONALITY COULD WORK. AND IF ALL THEY WOULD BE ON BOARD AND SHARING OUR PULSE.
>> MANAGEMENT COMPANIES THE MANAGERS DON'T TURN THAT OFTEN. ONCE YOU HAVE THEIR ADDRESSES IN STATE THIS IS COMING TOMORROW PLEASE PUSH IT FORWARD THEY WOULD START TO DO IT ROUTINELY. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR CONTENT.
>> THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> ANYONE ELSE?
>> THAT IS GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. FEEL FREE TO ADVERTISE OUR NEXT TEEN NIGHT OUT WHICH WILL BE AT SO FLOW NINJA. TELL
ALL THE TEENS. >> OKAY. WHAT IS NEXT? A MOTION TO ADJOURN. UNLESS THERE ARE STAFF COMMENTS. MOTION TO
ADJOURN. >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SEE YOU GUYS IN SEPTEMBER.
