          [00:00:05]
          OKAY. AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO CALL TO ORDER THE JANUARY. 8TH 2020 FOR WALLY PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MEETING. IN THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS. THE TIME IS 532. WE ASK EVERYONE TO SILENCE THEIR PHONES. REMEMBER THAT THIS MEETING IS RECORDED LIVE STREAM. BOARD MEMBERS. 
          PLEASE WAIT ON THE BOARD CHAIR TO CALL ON YOU BEFORE SPEAKING AND ONLY ITEMS OF DISCUSSION LISTED ON THE MEETING AGENDA MAY BE DISCUSSED. WE DO HAVE A QUORUM TONIGHT WITH THE ABSENCE OF NICK IS HER NAME. 20 YEARS. UH, RIGHT. COMMENTS ON NON AGENDA ITEMS. ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC MAY ADDRESS BOARD REGARDING AN ITEM THAT IS NOT LISTED ON THE AGENDA. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MUST FILL OUT A FORM PRIOR TO THE MEETING IN ORDER TO SPEAK. OR MEMBERS BOARD REQUESTS THAT COMMENTS BE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES FOR AN INDIVIDUAL OR SIX MINUTES FOR A GROUP. IN ADDITION, BOARD IS NOT ALLOWED TO CONVERSE DELIBERATE OR TAKE ACTION ON ANY MATTER PRESENTED DURING CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. MR ERIC CLOWERS HAS SUBMITTED A CITIZEN COMMENT FORM SO WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM MR CLOWERS, PLEASE. YES, SIR. HMM. APPRECIATE BUTTON ON YOUR LEFT TO TURN ON YOUR MAC, PLEASE. THERE YOU GO. BOARD MEMBERS. MY NAME IS ERIC CLOWERS, AND I'M A PROUD COACH OF THE WILY DRAGONS UNDER 10 SOCCER TEAM HAVE BEEN COACHING THESE BOYS NOW FOR THREE YEARS IN SIX SEASONS. BOTH OUTDOOR AND INDOOR, COMBINED, BOTH WITH PLANO SOCCER ASSOCIATION AND WILEY SOCCER ASSOCIATION. I UH, HAD MY PRACTICE IS USUALLY ON WEDNESDAYS AT FOUNDER'S PARK, AND I HAVE HAD THOSE PRACTICES SINCE I STARTED COACHING THESE BOYS. I HAVE ALWAYS USED THE WEBSITE OR SPOKEN TO SOMEONE TO RENT FIELDS FOR THE LIGHTS, BUT NEVER COULD I RENT A SOCCER FIELD? ONLY A FOOTBALL FIELD OR A MIXED USE FIELD WAS AVAILABLE ONLINE. ONCE THE RENOVATION AT FOUNDER'S PARK STARTED, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO RENT FIELDS THERE, WHICH WAS FRUSTRATING, KNOWING THAT NO ONE WAS EVER ON AN ACTUAL SOCCER FIELD. AT FOUNDER'S PARK ON WEDNESDAYS WHEN WE HAD PRACTICES, SO I OPTED TO RENT A LIGHT TOWER FROM A CONSTRUCTION RENTAL SERVICE SO MY BOYS COULD PRACTICE. BUT AFTER SEEING THE BILL AND WIFE BEING A LITTLE FRUSTRATED, I HAD TO CALL AND FIND OUT WHY I WAS NOT ABLE TO RENT AN ACTUAL SOCCER FIELD. SINCE I AM ACTUALLY A COACH WITHIN THE LEAGUE, AND I AM A TAXPAYING CITIZEN WITHIN THE CITY. IT IS ALSO WHAT I'VE LEARNED. THAT'S NOT THE WILY WAY. TUESDAY DECEMBER THE 5TH 2023 I SPOKE TO MR BRENT ST HOURS REGARDING THE ISSUES WITH THE WEBSITE AND THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO RENT AN ACTUAL SOCCER FIELD OF FOUNDERS PARK ON WEDNESDAYS FOR SOCCER PRACTICES AFTER SOME BACK AND FORTH WITH BRETT, HE SAID THAT HIS HANDS ARE TIED. AND THEN NOTHING COULD BE DONE ONLY THROUGH THE WEBSITE. BUT THE WEBSITE WON'T LET ME DO IT AND EVEN MORE COMICAL. NOW THAT I'VE COMPLAINED, ALL THE GOALS ARE OFF THE FIELDS AND IN A BUNCH THAT NO ONE CAN USE THEM. IF YOU ACCESS THE INTERNET. TO SEE THE PUBLIC RECORD OR WHATEVER CONTRACT WAS EVER MADE WITH WILEY SOCCER ASSOCIATION. I GO THERE AND IT TELLS ME TO CONTACT WILEY SOCCER ASSOCIATION WHEN I GO TO WILEY SOCCER ASSOCIATION'S WEBSITE, IT CLEARLY STATES TO ACCESS UH, WYLIE. PRACTICE FIELDS. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONTACT THE CITY OF WILDLY ATHLETIC FIELD HOTLINE WITH THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED IS 972516635 THAT GOES TO MR SCOURS OFFICE. 
          BOARD MEMBERS HAVE POLITELY ASKED MR STAFF HOURS TO CORRECT THE WEBSITE SO THAT I CAN GIVE MY MONEY TO THE CITY. AND READ THE FIELD SO MY BOYS CAN PRACTICE SADLY THAT HAS NOT BEEN DONE. AND SO, YEAH, OBVIOUSLY, MY TEAM IS FRUSTRATED MY PEERS OF COACHES OR FRUSTRATED THAT WANT TO RENT THE FIELDS. BUT ALSO THIS IS A LOSS OF REVENUE TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION. 
          THERE ARE MANY COACHES THAT WANT TO RENT THE FIELDS AND IT THE CITY IS PAYING FOR THE WEBSITE AND I ASKED THE CITY TO PLEASE BOARD MEMBERS HOLD SOMEBODY ACCOUNTABLE. FIX THE WEBSITE, TAKE MY MONEY AND LET SOME BOYS PRACTICE BECAUSE THAT IS THE WILY WAY. THAT'S WHAT I'VE LEARNED ABOUT THIS GREAT COMMUNITY. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND GO, WILEY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, MR FLOWERS. 
          [00:05:05]
OKAY? NEXT IN THE REGULAR AGENDA WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON APPROVAL OF THE PARSON WRECK WREG RECREATION BOARD REGULAR MEETING MINUTES FROM NOVEMBER. 13TH OF 2023. MM HMM. 
          CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ADEMAS PRESENTED. OKAY? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE NOVEMBER 13TH 2023 PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MINUTES, MEETINGS OR MEETINGS. MEETING MINUTES. GOT THAT BACKWARDS. CAN I GET A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THE MOTION OUTSTANDING. HMM. 
          WE'RE HAVING TECHNICAL ISSUES. WE WERE HOPING THE VOTING WOULD WORK. IT'S NOT SO WE'RE GONNA NEED TO DO A HAND VOTE, PLEASE. YOU CAN OH, TRY AGAIN. HOLD ON. AH, WELL, SOMEBODY. OKAY? SOMEBODY DIDN'T VOTE SO WE HAVE TO DO HAND BOAT NOW. PLEASE. THANK YOU. 
          RIGHT? ALRIGHT, SO I THINK LAST MEETING WE WERE NOVEMBER MEETING . I THINK I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO BRING YOU SOME GOOD PICTURES BECAUSE I'VE JUST BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE UPDATES TO THE PROJECTS, BUT I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY GIVEN YOU ANY VISUALS. WAR SCREEN ISN'T WORKING AGAIN HAVING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, BUT YOU DO HAVE HANDOUTS IN FRONT OF YOU. AND IF YOU WANT TO JUST GO THROUGH THEM, I THINK WE GOT ABOUT 17 SLIDES JUST KIND OF SHOWING YOU WHERE WE'RE AT ON SOME OF THE PROJECTS. THE VERY FIRST ONE IS OUR SENIOR RECREATION CENTER RENOVATION. 
          THIS FIRST PHOTO WAS JUST A JUST KIND OF WHAT THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING LOOKS LIKE. AND THEN THE I DON'T WANT TO CALL EXISTING FLOOR PLAN NOW BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY DONE A BUNCH OF CHANGES, BUT IT IS THE IT WAS THE PREVIOUS FLOOR PLAN. AH WHAT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE IS KIND OF THE AREAS THAT WE WERE LOOKING TO ADDRESS. THOSE WERE ACTUAL, YOU KNOW, OFFICES OR THAT THE OLD FITNESS ROOM. WE'RE ACTUALLY ADDRESSING THE ENTIRE BUILDING. WE'RE GETTING ALL NEW FLOORING. UM NEW ZEALAND TILE STUFF LIKE THAT, BUT THE MAIN MAJORITY OF IT WAS THE 88 RESTROOMS AND THEN MOVING OFFICES AROUND AND THEN CREATING A NEW FITNESS AREA. ON THE NEXT SLIDE. THIS SHOWS YOU THE FLOOR PLAN THAT WE'RE GOING WITH SO YOU CAN SEE OVER THERE ON THE FAR LEFT CORNER. THAT'S WHERE OUR RESTROOMS ARE AT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PREVIOUS YOU KNOW, FLOOR PLAN BEFORE THAT THAT WAS AN OLD OFFICE. SO WE'VE GOT A MUCH MORE EXPANDED MEN'S AND WOMEN'S RESTROOM. WE'VE GOT ANOTHER STORAGE THAT WE'RE ADDING THERE. IF YOU LOOK ON THE FAR RIGHT HAND CORNER, THAT'S WHERE ALL THE OFFICES ARE MOVING TO. AND THEN THAT BIG AREA THAT HAS, I BELIEVE THAT'S GREEN. THAT'S GONNA BE A STOREFRONT KIND OF WALL RIGHT THERE. THAT'S GONNA BE THE NEW FITNESS AREA FOR THE SENIORS. AGAIN ALL NEW UPGRADED FLOORING. UM UPGRADED CEILING TILES. I MEAN, THE WHOLE AREA IS COMPLETELY NEW. THIS NEXT PAGE. THIS JUST SHOWS JUST KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT ON SOME OF THE RENOVATIONS. SO THIS WAS ACTUALLY THESE WERE PICTURES JUST FROM A FEW WEEKS AGO. THE FIRST ONE ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER. THAT'S THE RESTROOMS. AH! NO I'M SORRY. THAT'S OFFICES THAT'S OFFICERS. THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE RESTROOMS. THE EXTERIOR BUILDING ENDED UP GETTING AN ENTIRE. UM, I WANT TO CALL IT A FACELIFT. WE WENT WITH KIND OF A STUCCO. LOOK, IT'S ACTUALLY A STONE COAT IS WHAT IT'S CALLED, BUT IT'S BASICALLY A STONE COAT WITH A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT COLORS MIXED IN JUST A NEAT, YOU KNOW, PATTERN. UM. AND 
          [00:10:03]
PRETTY MUCH THAT'S THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON THERE. I MEAN, I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE FOR SENIOR RECORDS. IT'S A REALLY NICE UH, LOOKING FACILITY . IT'S LOOKING REALLY GOOD. THEY HAD ABOUT SIX MONTHS FOR CONSTRUCTION. I THINK THEY'RE ONLY IN MONTH NUMBER THREE RIGHT NOW, AND THEY HAVE ALMOST COMPLETELY GOT IT FINISHED. I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON BOTH. BOTH RESTROOMS ARE COMPLETELY TILED FLOOR AND WALL EVERYTHING ALL THE WALLS THAT, THEY ADDED, EVERYTHING IS ALREADY TAPED BED TEXTURE. THEY'RE ALREADY STARTING TO PAINT SOME OF THEM. I MEAN, THEY'RE REALLY MOVING. SO WE MIGHT WE MIGHT BE DONE UNDER SIX MONTHS, BUT SIX MONTHS IS STILL THE CONSTRUCTION DEADLINE. SO. AND I'LL ALSO WANTED TO ADD TO. 
          WE'RE ALSO ADDING SOME MORE PARKING AS WELL. SO WE'RE ADDING BASICALLY BASICALLY WHAT WE ADDED IN BELIEVE IT WAS 2021 OR 2019. WE ADDED THAT HOLES ABOUT 20 SPACES TO THE EAST. WE'RE BASICALLY MIMICKING THAT AND ADDING ANOTHER 20 SPACES TO THAT. SO LOTS OF WORK GOING ON AT SENIOR WRECK. FANTASTIC. GLORIA SUAREZ HAS A QUESTION. ON YOUR SECOND PAGE. THE. THE FLOOR PLAN THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE IN PLACE WITH THE REST OF WHAT IS THAT LITTLE SQUARE WITH THE DOORS. WHAT'S THAT? OH YEAH, THAT'S UM THAT'S JUST A BIGGER STORAGE. OKAY BEING ADDED ACCESS , THE RESTAURANTS BECOME DOWN A LITTLE HALLWAY THERE AND THEN. OKAY IT'S ALMOST KIND OF LIKE THE WRECK WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE A DOOR THAT YOU OPEN. YOU JUST KIND OF WALK IN. YOU CAN EITHER GO TO THE LEFT FOR THE MAN'S OR THE RIGHT FOR THE WOMEN'S. OR ACTUALLY, I THINK I SAID THAT BACKWARDS LEFT FOR THE WOMEN'S RIGHT FROM THE MAN. SORRY LOOKING AT LOOKING AT IT UPSIDE DOWN. THANK YOU. FANTASTIC BRENT ALRIGHT. LIKE I SAID, IT'S MOVING ALONG. IT'S LOOKING REALLY, REALLY GOOD. SO THE NEXT ONE IS OVER AT FOUNDERS PART UM WE ARE RENOVATING THE WEST SIDE, BUT WE'RE RENOVATING THE NORTHERN SECTION OF THE WEST SIDE FIELDS AGAIN. THIS IS A RENOVATION. THAT WE'VE NEEDED FOR YEARS. THIS THIS SECTION OF FOUNDERS WAS DONE BACK IN 1999. 
          AND IT WAS IT USED TO BE AN OLD PASTURE. AH THEY NEVER WELL, I SAY THEY WE NEVER CROWNED THE FIELDS OR DID ANY WORK TO THE FIELD. WE ONLY INSTALLED AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM AND ADDED LIGHTS. AND CALLED IT ATHLETIC FIELDS. SO THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS ACTUALLY CROWNING. 
          THESE FIELDS ARE ACTUALLY CROWNING THAT ENTIRE AREA. EVEN THAT LITTLE AREA THAT YOU CAN SEE THAT'S KIND OF A DARKER ORANGE ON THE PAGE. EVEN THAT'S GOING TO BE CROWNED AND AVAILABLE FOR YOU KNOW, KIND OF LITTLE LITTLE LEAGUE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE SIX OR SIX. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY FULL FORCE EYES ATHLETIC FIELD GAMES THERE, BUT BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A SPACE THAT THAT CAN BE UTILIZED. THAT HASN'T BEEN IN RECENT YEARS. SO ALL NEW IRRIGATION, A NEW IRRIGATION PUMP. THERE'S NOT A PUMP RIGHT NOW THAT THAT HITS THIS ENTIRE AREA SO WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER PUMP ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS THE ONE THAT'S FEEDING THE EAST SIDE RIGHT NOW. UM IT'S GONNA HAVE TIPPED TOUGH, ATHLETIC FIELD GRADE SOD. THIS IS A TYPE SOD THAT WE DON'T HAVE IN ANY OF OUR COMPLEXES HOLDS UP TO FOOT TRAFFIC VERY WELL. VERY DROUGHT TOLERANT. VERY GOOD HYBRID BERMUDA GRASS. AND THEY'RE THEY'RE BASICALLY LIFTING UP, LIFTING THEM UP ABOUT FOUR INCHES, TWO INCHES OF TOPSOIL, TWO INCHES OF SAND. THEY'RE KIND OF SAND CAPITAL A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE OTHER FIELDS ON THE EAST SIDE. WE'VE GOT TWO FIELDS OVER THERE THAT ARE SAYING KEPT. SO THIS PROJECT IS IN FULL THROTTLE. UH, GOT ON THAT NEXT PAGE. YOU CAN JUST SEE NOT REALLY A WHOLE LOT TO LOOK AT OTHER THAN JUST DIRT. SO IT'S PROBABLY NOT THAT EXCITING. FOR US IT IS. WE'VE GOTTEN A COUPLE OF RAINS ALREADY. NOW I HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE TODAY TO SEE WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE TODAY, WHICH I CAN'T IMAGINE MUCH ANYTHING WOULD LOOK GOOD AFTER A RAIN THAT WE GOT TODAY. BUT IN PAST RAIN SINCE I'VE BEEN DOING THIS WORK, WE'VE ACTUALLY STARTED TO NOTICE. IT'S NOT HOLDING NEAR THE WATER THAT WAS BEFORE AND THEY'RE NOT EVEN THEY HAVE EVEN STARTED ADDING DIRT. THEY'RE JUST LASER GRADING. SO LASER GREETINGS AND FULL FORCE RIGHT NOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE STARTING IRRIGATION THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO START THIS WEEK. AGAIN WITH THE WEATHER THAT MAY NOT HAPPEN. UM IT IS GOING TO DELAY SOME OF THE SOCCER OR OR AT LEAST SOCCER FROM USING THESE FIELDS. IT'S GOING TO DELAY A LITTLE BIT OF THAT FOR THE SPRING SEASON. BUT WE SHOULD SEE THIS WRAPPING UP. EARLY TO MID SPRING. SO. 
          QUESTION. WHAT IS THE MAIN ACTIVITY THAT IS USUALLY PERFORMED OR RENTED ON THESE 
          [00:15:01]
FIELDS IN QUESTION. THIS WILL BE SOCCER SOCCER USES THIS PROBABLY MORE THAN OR AT LEAST THESE THREE FIELDS. TWO OF THEM ARE SOLELY SOCCER. NOW THE THIRD SMALLER FIELD IS TECHNICALLY A FOOTBALL FIELD. UM BUT IT CAN BE USED FOR YOU KNOW, SOCCER PRACTICE, IS REFERRING TO THE YELLOW RECTANGLE. LET ME GO SMALLER. PORTION YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? NO SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE BIGGER PORTION OF THE YELLOW, THE ONE THAT'S IN BETWEEN THE ACTUAL TRAIL THAT'S THERE. GOING FROM THE LEFT TO RIGHT FILLED ONE AS THE ONE CLOSEST TO THE APARTMENTS FILLED TWO IS THE ONE DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE FILLED THREE IS THE ONE CLOSER TO JERRY WAYNE COMPASS, AND IT'S A MUCH SMALLER FIELD. IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THE ANGLE BECAUSE OF THE ANGLE. IT'S FOOTBALL, USE IT AS THEIR THEIR FLAG FOOTBALL YOUNGSTERS. YEAH PRACTICE IN THE SOCCER USES IT TO. I MEAN, THEY'LL HAVE, YOU KNOW, SMALLER AGE GROUP. YOU KNOW, SOCCER FIELDS THERE AND EVERYTHING, BUT IT'S PREDOMINANTLY USED FOR FOOTBALL. THAT FIELD IS BUT THE TWO BIG ONES ARE PRETTY MUCH ALL SOCCER UNDERSTOOD. HAS THE LIGHTING THAT WAS EXISTING THERE BEEN AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THESE RENOVATIONS. NO, NO FIELDS ARE GOING TO BE IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT. THEY ARE LIGHTING IS NOT CHANGING. AH IT'S JUST WE DID SHUT DOWN RESERVATIONS FOR THAT ENTIRE WEST SIDE JUST BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TEAMS ARE KIDS GETTING ANYWHERE NEAR THE CONSTRUCTION SITE UNDERSTOOD? APPRECIATE THE CLARITY. THANK YOU ANY MORE QUESTIONS? CAREFUL. YEAH. ALRIGHT FOR FOUNDERS PART. 
          ALL RIGHT. SO THE BIG, EXCITING ONE FOR THIS WEEK DOG PARK, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE HAD A CHANCE. I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT A COUPLE OF TIMES THROUGHOUT THE MONTHS. UH IT'S PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE. IT'S JUST JUST NEXT TO THE LIBRARY. ABOUT FOUR ACRES OF SPACE THAT WE'VE RENOVATED. THEIR EXCUSE ME DEVELOPED THERE. INTO THREE LARGE. EXCUSE ME THREE DOG PADDOCKS TO LARGE ONE SMALL I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE SHOWN YOU ALL THIS IMAGE BEFORE. MAYBE I HAVE I'VE SEEN THIS ONE. LIKE I SAID, I TOLD YOU I WAS GONNA BRING YOU VISUALS SO YEP. SO THEY LIKE I SAID, THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE WITH IT. I MEAN, THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME PUNCH LIST ITEMS, WALKS WITH US WALKS WITH THE ARCHITECT JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CONTRACTOR HAS, YOU KNOW, COMPLETED EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF IT. I WAS JUST OUT THERE ON FRIDAY WALKED THE ENTIRE SIDE. IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I'M READY FOR THIS THING TO OPEN UP. THURSDAY. IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE GRAND OPENING. IT'S GOING TO BE 330 TO 5. UH, AGAIN. THREE DOG PADDOCKS . ONE OF THEM IS FOR SMALL DOGS, AND TWO OF THEM ARE FOR LARGE DOGS. THERE'S JUST AN EXAMPLE HERE OF THE BULLPEN THAT WE HAVE. THERE'S GOING TO BE DOG WASTE STATIONS THERE. THERE'S SEVERAL PIECES OF DOG AGILITY EQUIPMENT IN EACH PADDOCK. THERE'S A SMALL PAVILION IN EACH ONE FOR SHADE. UM SECURITY LIGHTING. I BELIEVE THERE'S FOUR SECURITY LIGHTS OUT THERE. 
          THERE'S ONE IN EACH PADDOCK AND ONE IN THE ENTRANCE. CONNECTIONS TO OUR EXISTING TRAILS. UM UH, AN AMAZING IRRIGATION SYSTEM, WHICH I DON'T WANT TO NERD OUT ON THAT FOR Y'ALL TODAY, BUT I'M BIG WITH IRRIGATION AND IRRIGATION SYSTEMS ALSO THAT WE HAVE FOR THIS IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR NEXT PAGE THAT JUST SHOWS YOU SOME, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PICTURES OF AND AGAIN. 
          THESE WERE ACTUALLY PICTURES FROM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. I DON'T THINK IT WAS FULLY SORTED BY THIS TIME, BUT IT IS NOW. SO THERE'S THREE GATES THAT YOU HAVE TO GO IN. IF YOU LOOK AT THAT THIRD PICTURE, THERE'S THREE GATES THAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO IN JUST TO GET INTO ONE PADDOCK. IT'S JUST EXTRA SECURITY TO KEEP THE YOU KNOW. KEEP YOUR DOG INSIDE IF THERE'S OTHER ONES COMING INTO THE PART UM, BUT AGAIN, THERE IS OUR GRAND OPENING ON THURSDAY 330 TO 5. I BELIEVE Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY GOT AN INVITE OR THAT INVITE IS COMING. WE WOULD LIKE YOU KNOW MEMBERS FROM THE BOARD. IF YOU'RE ABLE TO ATTEND THAT, YOU KNOW WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT SO AND THAT'S WHAT I HAVE FOR DOG PARK. MISS ANYTHING ON THAT ONE. HMM IF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD HAVE A SPECIFIC WINDOW THAT THEY SHOULD ATTEND, WHAT WOULD YOUR SUGGESTION BEING? PROBABLY THE 330 PART. ROGER ME. UM DID ALL THREE PADDOCKS GET STARTED? I KNOW YOU TALKED ABOUT HYDRO MULCHING AT ONE POINT AND THEN SO THERE WAS AN EXTRA BUDGET TO SAAD. SO THEY'RE ALL IT'S GOING TO BE COMPLETE AND READY TO GO. SO ORIGINALLY THE CONTRACT WAS FOR THE MIDDLE 
          [00:20:05]
LARGE DOG PADDOCK AND THEN THE SMALL DOG PADDOCK TO GET SOD. AND THEN THE I GUESS YOU'D SAY THAT THE FURTHER NORTH PADDOCK I WAS GOING TO BE HYDRA MULCH BECAUSE WE FOUND OR WE HAD EXTRA MONEY IN THE BUDGET. WE HAD BUDGETED $905,000 FOR THIS PROJECT. AND IT CAME OUT TO 800 JUST A LITTLE BIT OVER 817,000. IT WAS AN ADDITIONAL 24,000 TO GO AHEAD AND SAW THAT NORTHERN PADDOCK. WELL, SINCE WE HAD THAT MONEY, WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND SPEND THOSE TIMES TO GO AND SORT ALL OF IT RIGHT. THANKS. THE LITTLE, UH, COVERED AREAS A LITTLE PAVILION THINGS, SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE LIKE A BENCH UNDER THERE, SO THEY YES, YES, AND LIKE I SAID, I APOLOGIZE. THIS WAS FROM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. THERE'S ACTUALLY BENCHES UNDERNEATH THERE RIGHT NOW, OR A PICNIC TABLES UNDERNEATH THERE. WE'VE ADDED EXCUSE ME. WE'VE ADDED TRASH RECEPTACLES, DOG WEIGH STATIONS, UM, BENCHES, PICNIC TABLES. ALL OF THAT IS ALREADY WITHIN THE PARK, ALSO THE DOG WASH STATIONS. AWESOME. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON DOG PARK. 
          ALREADY. SPLASH PADS AND OTHER EXCITING ONE COMING UP. OR ACTUALLY IN FULL THROTTLE SO AGAIN JUST TO RECAP. WE'RE GETTING ONE SPLASH PAD HERE ON THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX. PROPERTY. 
          BUT ACROSS THE TREE LINE AT THE EAST MEADOW, WHICH IS TECHNICALLY OFFER BROWN STREET WE'RE ALSO GETTING ANOTHER ONE AT COMMUNITY PARK. AND I BELIEVE WE'LL START WITH THE EAST MEADOW ONE FIRST. THIS ONE'S GONNA MIMIC MORE PRAIRIE STYLE LOOK STAMPED CONCRETE, SOME STONE SEATING. THESE ARE GONNA BE LIKE YOUR LIMESTONE BLOCKS. THERE IS A BIG GROUP SHELTER THAT WILL BE A PART OF THIS ONE. NEW RESTROOM FACILITY THAT'S GOING TO BE THERE. IT'S GONNA BE A RESTAURANT FACILITY WITH THE PUMP FILTRATION SYSTEM IN THE BUILDING. AH DROP OFF LOCATION AND THEN CONNECTING TO EXISTING TRAILS. SO WITH THIS ONE THAT NEXT PAGE SHOWS YOU A RENDERING OF WHAT'S GOING TO BE THERE. AND THEN THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT SHOWS KIND OF WHAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW, WHICH I KNOW IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A WHOLE LOT. AH BUT THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF MOVEMENT ON THE EAST MEADOW SPLASH PAD. THIS IS A RETAINING WALL. THERE'S SUCH A GREAT CHANGE AT EAST MEADOW THAT THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT CONTAINS A SPLASH PAD FROM GOING OFF INTO THE CREEK. SO WE HAVE THIS BIG, MASSIVE 137 FT WALL. LEANING YOUR FOOT WALL. UM THEY COMPLETED THAT AROUND THANKSGIVING TIME. SINCE THEN, THE SPLASH PAD HAS BEEN IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING. IT SPENT ABOUT 11 TO 12 WEEKS IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING. WE'VE DONE MOISTURE INJECTIONS, UH, TO PREPARE THE SOIL THAT WAS DONE JUST LAST WEEK. AND THEY STARTED EXCAVATING FOR THE NEW PARKING LOT EDITION. THERE'S GOING TO BE ABOUT 103 PARKING SPOTS THERE NOW, ONCE THIS IS COMPLETE CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, THERE'S ABOUT 25 PARKING SPOTS. SO WE'RE EXPANDING THE PARKING LOT QUITE A BIT, ADDING SOME MORE PARKING LOT LIGHTING THERE. THAT'S THAT WAS WHY THIS ONE WAS THE MORE EXPENSIVE ONE BECAUSE OF ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HAD TO GO IN UH, ELECTRICAL IS ALREADY STARTING TO GO IN. OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS GOING TO BE DOING THE WATER TAPS THIS WEEK. YOU'RE GONNA START SEEING A LOT MORE MOVEMENT WITH THESE SPLASH PADS. I KNOW IT'S KIND OF BEEN A LITTLE STAGNANT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. BUT AGAIN, THAT'S BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THE PADS HAVE BEEN IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING, AND THEY'VE JUST BEEN IN THERE FOR A WHILE. WE'VE COMPLETELY CHANGE THE VENDOR THAT WAS SPECT OUT FOR THE SPLASH PADS AND BECAUSE OF THAT, IT HAD TO GO BACK THROUGH THE ENGINEERS AND THEIR ENGINEERS HAD TO TALK TO ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS AND IT JUST IT HUNG THOSE UP FOR A LITTLE WHILE. BUT THOSE ARE ALL COMPLETE NOW AND NOW THEY'RE STARTING TO ACTUALLY MOVED HER WILL BE SEEING PIPES. 
          BAM! PUT IN PROBABLY HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. SO AGAIN. THIS IS EAST MEADOW COMMUNITY PARK. THIS IS JUST IF YOU LOOK AT THE NEXT PAGE UM YOU'LL SEE WHAT COMMUNITY PARK SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. IT'S GOING TO BE MORE OF A FUTURISTIC. TYPE. LOOK. THERE'S STILL GONNA BE SEAT WALLS. EXCUSE ME THIS ONE BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE A PAVILION. THERE. THERE'LL BE A JUST A SHADE KIND OF A FABRIC SHADE STRUCTURE THAT WILL BE THERE ON THE ON THE KIND OF THE THAT SOUTHEAST CORNER. NOW THIS ONE ORIGINALLY DIDN'T COME WITH NEW RESTROOMS. LATER ON. WE WENT TO COUNCIL IN MID YEAR BACK IN 2023. LAST YEAR. WE WENT TO MID YEAR AND ASKED IF WE COULD REPLACE THE RESTROOM FACILITY. THAT'S THERE BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY OLD. SO WE DECIDED TO DO 
          [00:25:02]
THAT, AND THEN WE GOT BACK WITH THE ARCHITECTS AND HAD THEM ADD THAT INTO THE DESIGN, SO THAT PICTURE THAT YOU'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW FOR THE COMMUNITY PARK SPLASH PAD. IT'S SHOWING EXISTING RESTROOM. WE'VE ALREADY KNOCKED THAT DOWN, AND WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE GETTING A NEW RESTROOM WITH PUMP FILTRATION ROOM AND EVERYTHING IN THERE AS WELL. SO THAT TO KIND OF HUNG THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT IN ENGINEERING. UM, MUCH HAPPIER. WE WENT THAT ROUTE. SO THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE AN EXISTING RESTROOM THERE AND THEN THIS MECHANICAL STRUCTURE IN THE BACKGROUND. I WANTED IT ALL TO BE INSIDE. OF THE ACTUAL RESTROOM FACILITY. UH, THIS ONE WILL ALSO HAVE A DROP OFF LOCATION AND THEN CONNECTION TO EXISTING TRAILS. AGAIN ON THAT NEXT PAGE. YOU'LL SEE THE RENDERING FOR THIS ONE. THIS ONE'S ACTUALLY THE PAD ITSELF IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE PADDED EAST MEADOW. THEY'RE BOTH ROUGHLY THE SAME SIZE. BUT THIS ONE HAS A LITTLE BIT MORE FEATURES. SO I KNOW THIS ONE. JUST THE PAD WAS ROUGHLY AROUND $800,000. THE ONE AT EAST MEADOW WAS AROUND 740. SO IT'S A LITTLE A LITTLE BIT MORE GOING ON WITH THIS ONE. UM IF YOU SEE THE PICTURE ON THE RIDE, IT'S JUST SHOWING WHAT YOU KNOW. AND AGAIN. THIS WAS A FEW WEEKS AGO. IT SHOWS THAT THE RESTROOMS GONE AND BASICALLY, THEY'VE JUST DONE SOME DEMO WORK REMOVED SOME SECTIONS OF TRAIL WELL, NOW TODAY THAT ENTIRE AREA IS COMPLETELY FORMED UP THE SPLASH PADS FORMED UP THERE'S A LOT OF WATER IN IT RIGHT NOW. SO IT KINDA ALREADY LOOKS LIKE A SPLASH PAD. BUT, UM THE RESTROOM FACILITIES ALREADY FORMED UP AND DUG UP. THEY'VE ALREADY DONE MOISTURE INJECTION THERE. ELECTRICAL IS ALREADY BEING RAN. 
          SO THIS ONE'S MOVING A LOT QUICKER THAN THE EAST MEADOW ONE. SO. MISS SUAREZ HAS A QUESTION FOR UH, THE FIRST PART PAD THE 100 SPACES IS THERE? UH A LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF KIDS THAT CAN BE IN THE SPECIAL PATTERNS THE GIVEN TIME OR WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE OR SO THE MAX CAPACITY OF THE SPLASH PADS. THESE 1900 SQUARE FOOT SPLASH PADS IS ROUGHLY ABOUT 74 NOW. WE'LL HAVE MORE THAN 74 PARKING SPOTS, YOU KNOW, WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS, SO IT'S LIKE SELF MONITORING, OR WILL THERE BE SOME MONEY FROM THE CITY KIND OF SPOT? CHECKING IT ARE I MEAN, WE'LL HAVE OUR DAILY UM, LOGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO WITH THE SPLASH PAD. THERE WON'T BE ANYBODY ON SITE THE ENTIRE TIME THAT THE SPLASH PAD IS IN OPERATION, BUT WE WILL HAVE DAILY SITE VISITS TO THE SPLASH PAD. THAT HELPED ANSWER THE QUESTION OR YEAH, IT DOES. 
          AND I'M NOT. I'M NOT SAYING THAT THERE SHOULD BE. I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING HOW WE'RE GOING TO KNOW OR WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEBODY, UH, CAUSES AND SAY, HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON? THERE WERE THERE WERE 200 KIDS OUT THERE? I MEAN, THAT'S THAT WAS MY POINT. WE'LL HAVE OUR DAILY VISITS. UM NOW AS FAR AS EVEN MAINTENANCE RELATED, SO THERE IS GOING TO BE A SMART CONTROL ON THESE SPLASH PADS THAT WE'LL ALERT OUR STAFF IF THERE'S ANYTHING GOING ON WITH THIS FLASH PAD, AND THIS IS REALLY MORE CHEMICAL OR IF THERE'S A FLOW PROBLEM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT MAY END UP DRIVING US OUT THERE AGAIN. BUT THERE WON'T BE ANYBODY NECESSARILY MONITORING THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE. AND, UH, MORE SO TO THE COMMUNITY PARK, BUT HAVE HAS. HAVE YOU GUYS ADDRESSED YET? THE POSSIBLE CONFLICT BETWEEN WHEN ARE WE GOING TO OPEN IT? AND WHAT ARE WE GONNA CLOSE IT AND THE COMPLEX THAT IT WILL EXIST ON BOTH ENDS AS PARKING NO PARKING BUT I KNOW THE COMMITTEE PARK. WE GOT THE BASEBALL SEASON AND I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THERE MIGHT BE SOME SOME ISSUES THERE. AND WHILE I DON'T HAVE ANYBODY PLAYING BASEBALL, I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE PARENTS WHO HAVE KIDS PLAYING BASEBALL IN THOSE PARKING SPACES ARE GOING TO BE USED UP BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT THE OTHER PARENTS OUT THERE WITH THEIR KIDS IN THE IN THE SPLASH PAD. I THINK THERE'S GONNA BE SOME ISSUES IF IT'S OPEN YOUR THE SAME TIME THAT THE BASEBALL SEASON EXISTS, AND THAT'S MY POINT. HAS THAT BEEN ADDRESSED? OR IS IT BEING LOOKED INTO WE? WE'VE DEFINITELY BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT. WE DO KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME OVERLAP. UH TECHNICALLY, OR TYPICALLY, WITH THESE SPLASH PADS, YOU YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF SEE THEM HAVE THE SAME OPERATIONAL TIMEFRAME IS A POLL. 
          WHICH WILL TYPICALLY GO FROM MEMORIAL DAY TO LABOR DAY. UM NOW, ONCE YOU GET INTO MEMORIAL DAY, AND KIM MIGHT EVEN BE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT ON THAT ONE, BUT THE SEASON START TO KIND OF DWINDLE DOWN A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN IN THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER YOU DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF LEAGUE PLAY GOING ON. THERE MIGHT BE SOME AND THEN TYPICALLY AFTER LABOR DAYS WHEN THINGS START PICKING BACK UP AGAIN NOW WILL THERE BE SOME OVERLAP WHILE THE WATER SPRING SEASONS GO INTO 
          [00:30:05]
JUNE? A LITTLE BIT IF THERE'S SOME RAIN DELAYS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? ABSOLUTELY, THAT COULD HAPPEN. UM BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT YOU KNOW THOSE YOU KNOW DIFFICULTIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WITH THE ONE AT COMMUNITY PARK SPECIFICALLY. AND THEN, UM, AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW WE'RE DISCUSSING WITH ARCHITECTS ON EXPANDING THE PARKING THAT WE HAVE THAT COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE DO KNOW THAT WE'RE DEVELOPING A LOT THERE WITH PICKLEBALL. WE'RE UPGRADING THE PLAYGROUND OVER THERE OR ADDING A SPLASH PAD. OUR SENIOR RECREATION CENTERS GETTING, YOU KNOW, RENOVATED. SO WE DO KNOW THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO ADD SOME PARKING THERE. SO WE'VE ALREADY CARMEN AND MYSELF HAVE ALREADY MET WITH AN ARCHITECT TO START LOOKING AT EXPANDING THE PARKING THERE. I DON'T KNOW. HOW FAR DOWN THE ROAD THAT IS WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY START DOING THAT, BUT WE'RE ALREADY AT LEAST LOOKING AT THE PARKING SITUATION. UH HUH . CAN I TALK TO GERALD DYSON HAS A QUESTION. UM NOT A QUESTION JUST MORE TO ANSWER LIKE YOUR CONCERN. UM SO BASEBALL ALWAYS TRIES TO BE DONE BY MEMORIAL DAY THEY TRY TO ACTUALLY BE DONE BEFORE SCHOOL GETS OUT. UM IN THE SPRING IN THE FALL, THERE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF OVERLAP BECAUSE THEY'LL START PROBABLY PRACTICING IN AUGUST. UM STILL HAVE, LIKE, PROBABLY A FEW WEEKS OF OVERLAP FROM WHEN, UM. THE C THE ACTUAL SEASON STARTS TO WIN. THE SPLASH PAD CLOSES, BUT I THINK IF IT'S TEMPORARY, PEOPLE KNOW. HEY, WE'RE LOOKING AT PARKING. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S GONNA B TWO UP IN ARMS ABOUT IT AS LONG AS THEY KNOW THAT THERE'S POTENTIALLY A SOLUTION COMING. BUT I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT. THANK YOU, KIM. DID THAT HELP ANSWER THE QUESTION. ALRIGHT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE SPLASH PADS AS FAR AS ESTIMATED COMPLETION TIME , WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT SUMMER OF 2024. THIS YEAR. I CAN FINALLY SAY THIS YEAR. 2024 NOW. 
          OKAY AND THAT GOES FOR THE THAT'S IT FOR THE ACTUAL PROJECTS THAT ARE IN CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW. WE DO HAVE SOME OTHER EXCITING ONES COMING UP. AH! SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE PAGE WITH UPCOMING PROJECTS, THE FIRST ONE IS PIRATE COVE PLAYGROUND. SO WE TOOK THIS TO COUNCIL BACK IN DECEMBER LAST MONTH. TO RENOVATE PIRATE COVE PLAYGROUND, WHICH IS AT FOUNDERS PART WE ARE LOOKING AT SHIFTING THIS JUST A LITTLE NORTH JUST ACROSS THAT TRAIL PATH. THAT'S I BELIEVE IT'S RIGHT BEHIND SOFTBALL FIELD. SEE RIGHT NOW. OH, IT'S C RIGHT NOW. WE'RE WE'RE PIRATE COVES AT BUT THEN WE'RE GOING TO BE YEAH, WE'RE GONNA BE SHIFTING IT UP. AH BEHIND SOFTBALL FIELD B. AH THIS IS THE KIND OF TOOK AN OVERVIEW PICTURE OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE. AND THEN I TOOK A COUPLE OF SNIPS OF THE BIG STRUCTURE THE 5 TO 12 AND THEN THE 2 TO 5 STRUCTURE. THE SECOND ONE THE PICTURE IN THE MIDDLE THIS IS GOING TO BE ALL POURED AND PLAYED SURFACING AND IT'S GOING TO BE AN ALL INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND. SO THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT THE CITY OF WALLY WILL HAVE THAT'S FULLY INCLUSIVE. SO AND AS FAR AS CONSTRUCTION ON THIS ONE, WE SPOKE WITH THE VENDOR AND THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE EQUIPMENT BEING COMPLETE AND READY TO GO BY THE END OF MARCH WITH AN INSTALL DAY JUST AFTER THE FIRST OF APRIL. I WILL TAKE ABOUT A MONTH TO CONSTRUCT ALL OF THIS. WE WILL LEAVE THE EXISTING PARK OVER OPEN WHILE THIS ONE IS BEING CONSTRUCTED, AND THEN AS SOON AS THIS ONE'S OPEN, WE'LL START MOVING FORWARD WITH, YOU KNOW, REMOVING THE EXISTING STRUCTURE. OR THE EXISTING PLAYGROUND. I DO HAVE A LITTLE SORRY. I HAVE A QUESTION. UM WHERE WHERE IT IS RIGHT NOW. 
          UM AND MOVING IT. OBVIOUSLY WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE DOING WITH THAT SPACE NOW BEHIND FIELD, SEE? IT'S A GREAT QUESTION, SO WE DID A MASTER PLAN. AH FOUNDERS PART BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE NEED MORE FIELD SPACE FOR YOUTH LEAGUES. WE NEED TO EXPAND ON SOME AREAS THAT, UH, WE STILL GOT SOME PROPERTY OUT WITHIN FOUNDER'S PARK THAT NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED. ONE OF THE AREAS THAT THEY LOOKED AT FOR INCREASING PARKING WAS CONTINUING. THAT CURVED PARKING UP TO THAT TRAIL. ALL THAT WAS EXACTLY WHERE PIRATE COVE IS AT. SO IN ADDITION TO SAY, WE WERE LOOKING AT CARMEN AND I MET WITH THE ARCHITECT TO LOOK AT PARKING AT COMMUNITY. WE ALSO WERE DISCUSSING FOUNDER'S PARK. THE MASTER PLAN, WHICH I BELIEVE WE COMPLETED THAT IN 2021. WAS TO 
          [00:35:03]
ACTUALLY MOVE PIRATE COVE NOW IT WASN'T TO MOVE IT UP BEHIND SOFTBALL FIELD BE IT WAS ACTUALLY TO MOVE IT TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE PARK WHERE WE'RE DOING THE FIELD RENOVATION RIGHT NOW, BUT AGAIN, WE DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE FILLED SPACE AWAY, SO WE DECIDED TO MOVE IT. TO THAT NORTHERN SECTION WHERE THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON OVER THERE. AND THEN WE'LL BE ADDING PARKING RIGHT. THERE WERE PIRATE COPES CURRENTLY AT YEAH. SO. AND AGAIN THAT ONE STILL RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT GETTING PLANS AND GETTING THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND FIGURING OUT WHAT THE COST WILL BE. I DON'T HAVE A TIMELINE ON WHEN WE START THAT PROJECT, JUST THE FACT THAT WE'RE STARTING TO AT LEAST UM, GET PRICES ON DOING THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. UM. ANY QUESTIONS ON PIRATE COVE. AND I BELIEVE THE LAST ONE THAT I HAD HERE WAS AND I KINDA ALREADY HIT ON IT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AT COMMUNITY PARK. UM BACK IN 2017. WE RENOVATED THE PLAYGROUND THERE. AND WE ACTUALLY HAD A MASTER PLAN IN THAT PLAYGROUND BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY PER SURFACE AREA. IT'S ACTUALLY THE BIGGEST PLAYGROUND THAT WE HAVE. IT'S ABOUT 1400 OR 14,000 SQUARE FOOT. THE NEW ONE AT PIRATE COVE THAT WE JUST LOOKED AT IS ABOUT 10,000 SQUARE FOOT, SO COMMUNITY ALREADY IS A BIGGER PLAYGROUND SURFACE AREA. UH THIS ONE WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDING A COUPLE OF MORE COMPONENTS, MAINLY SWINGS. WE'RE ADDING ANOTHER THREE BASE SWING SET. WHICH WILL HAVE SOME INCLUSIVE SWINGS ON IT. WE'RE ALSO ADDING WHAT'S CALLED A BIRD'S NEST SWING, WHICH IS JUST ALMOST LIKE A TIRE SWING. BUT IT'S NOT A TIRE, BUT IT CAN HAVE SEVERAL KIDS ON IT. UM WE'RE ADDING THAT AND WE'RE ALSO ADDING THIS NEXUS CLIMBER STRUCTURE, WHICH IS THAT BOTTOM PICTURE THAT YOU SEE. IT'S BASICALLY JUST A MULTI CLIMBER. 
          I MEAN, YOU CAN CLIMBED THIS STRUCTURE SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS. THESE WERE ALL IN THE MASTER PLAN OF THE PLAYGROUND. WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE FUNDING BACK IN 2017 TO DO IT ALL. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'LL BE DOING THIS ENTIRE 14,000 SQUARE FOOT. WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IT ALL IMPORTANT PLACE SURFACING. SO IT'S GOING TO HAVE A VERY NEW LOOK OVER THERE, AND THIS ONE SHOULD BE HAPPENING BEFORE PIRATE COVE GOES IN. YES, SIR. SO THE EXISTING STRUCTURES THERE WILL REMAIN. YES, SIR. YES, THEY'RE STILL THEY'RE STILL IN GREAT CONDITION. THIS IS JUST ADDING TO THE PLAYGROUND AREA UNDERSTOOD? THANK YOU. I'M GONNA ACTUALLY COMBINED A COUPLE OF DAYS. SO THIS COMMUNITY ACTUALLY LET ME GO BACK TO THE, UM PIRATE COVE. DID YOU SAY THIS COMING MARCH? APRIL 24. WOW AND THEN THE. COMMUNITY PARK, YOU SAID BEFORE THAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING SOONER. SO THE COMMUNITY PARK ONE WAS APPROVED BY COUNCIL BACK IN OCTOBER. AND THESE ARE TYPICALLY HAVING A MANUFACTURING TIMELINE OF ABOUT 2 TO 3 MONTHS, SO THEY SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP MANUFACTURING HERE AND THEN HERE THIS MONTH REALLY? AND THEN WE SHOULD BE GETTING NOTIFIED SOMETIME IN FEBRUARY TO START PREPPING THE SITE SO THAT THE INSTALLER CAN COME IN THERE AND INSTALL THIS. PROBABLY MID TO LATE FEBRUARY EARLY MARCH. UM AND THEN AS SOON AS THEY GET DONE WITH THAT THEY MIGHT BE ROLLING RIGHT INTO DO PIRATE COVE GOT YOU AND THEN LOOKING BACK TO THE FOUNDERS, PART PICTURES HERE BECAUSE WOULDN'T THIS IS WHAT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO? I THINK I THINK ROB WAS EVEN TALKING ABOUT IT BEFORE HE LEFT. JUST A MASTER PLAN FOR FOUNDER'S PARK. IS THAT STILL I THINK WE DID BRING THAT TO THE BOARD. MASTER PLAN. IS THAT STILL KIND OF IN PLACE? JUST PIECE BY PIECE. LOOKS LIKE PIRATE COVE IS MAYBE ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS. WELL HONESTLY, ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS IS REALLY, UM AND THAT ONE. IN ORDER TO DO THAT ENTIRE MASTER PLAN. IT WAS ROUGHLY ABOUT $21 MILLION, RIGHT? SO JUST ABOUT THE SAME AS PUTTING IN AN INDOOR POOL. AH WE KNEW WE WEREN'T GOING TO COME ACROSS $21 MILLION TO GO AHEAD AND DO ALL THE FOUNDERS PARK. SO CARMEN AND I TOOK THAT PLAN. AND WE'VE BASICALLY BEEN LOOKING AT IT GOING, OKAY? CONCEPTUALLY WE'VE GOT A CONCEPTUAL PLAN. WHAT CAN WE START ADDRESSING NOW WE CAN'T WAIT. YOU KNOW, 10 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL FUNDING COMES AVAILABLE. WHAT CAN WE START KNOCKING OUT RIGHT NOW? SO REALLY, TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. THE MAIN PRIORITY IS MAKING OUR SPACES NICER AND SAFER. OUR FIELDS. AH SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE STARTING WITH. RIGHT NOW. WITH THAT RENOVATION. THAT'S A MILLION DOLLAR RENOVATION TO FOCUS ON THOSE NORTHERN WEST SIDE OF FOUNDERS PARK. THOSE NORTHERN FIELDS. UM NOW WE ARE MOVING PARROT COVE BECAUSE THAT WAS ANOTHER. UH ISSUE THAT WE HAD MAINTENANCE WISE. IT WAS JUST IT WAS A LOT OF MAINTENANCE UPKEEP THAT PLAYGROUND. SO WE ARE MOVING THAT ONE FOR FUTURE PLANNING, KNOWING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE EXPANDING THAT PARKING BUT WE'RE ALSO GOING TO WANT TO BE JUMPING 
          [00:40:01]
ON THOSE SOUTH FIELDS, TOO. ON THE WEST SIDE. THOSE ARE GONNA BE THE NEXT FIELD THAT YOU KNOW WILL BE LOOKING TO RENOVATE, SO IT'S KIND OF I DON'T WANT TO SAY I MEAN, WE'RE DOING WHAT THAT MASTER PLAN IS SHOWING. NOW WE ARE TWEAKING IT A LITTLE BIT. UH BECAUSE THAT PLAN HAD A LOT MORE. UM UM, YOU KNOW, I HAD A LOT MORE CONCRETE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE UNNECESSARY. 
          OUR BIGGEST THING RIGHT NOW OR THAT THE COMMUNITY TOLD US THEY NEEDED IN THE PARKS. 
          RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN WAS WE NEED MORE FIELDS. WE NEED MORE GREEN SPACE, SO WE DON'T WANT TO BE TYING ALL THAT UP WITH ROADS COMING IN THERE AND TURN AROUND THAT THEY HAD WERE JUST REBUILDING OUR FIELDS FIRST, BUT WE ARE STILL KIND OF GOING OFF OF THE PLAN. OKAY THAT HELPED ANSWER DOES LONG WINDED ANSWER. NO APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF LOOKS LIKE IF YOU EXTEND THE PARKING LOT LIKE THAT WAS PART OF THAT PLAN, AND THAT WAS ON THE PLAN WAS EXTENDING THE PARKING LOT WHERE PIRATE COVE IS AT, SO THEY'RE STILL PLAN TO EXTEND THE ROAD ON THE BY DEPARTMENTS. WHATEVER THAT. THAT'S THE ONE THAT I DON'T THINK WE'LL END UP DOING. 
          UM I MEAN, IT WAS NICE IT WOULD, BUT I THINK TWO. IT WILL TAKE AWAY SOME SPACE THAT WE COULD BE USING TURNING THAT INTO A ROAD. SO I DON'T THINK WE'LL BE GOING THAT ROUTE. I THINK WE WILL BE BUILDING. THOSE FIELDS, EVEN EXTENDING SOME OF THOSE FIELDS FURTHER SOUTH TOWARDS HENSLEY. 
          BUT I DON'T THINK WE'LL BE PUTTING THE ROAD IN. COOL. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT. THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN EVERYTHING. UNLESS YOU ALL WANT ME TO TALK MORE. ABOUT THESE PROJECTS. I CAN DO THAT, TOO. SO THAT'S ALL I GOT. QUESTIONS FOR GRANT.
