WE'RE CALLING TO ORDER THE YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 2ND, 2023.
[00:00:07]
ALL RIGHT. PLEDGES.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.
CAN WE GET A ROLL CALL? YES. MEMBER.
MEMBER [INAUDIBLE] WE'RE MISSING THREE. ALL RIGHT.
[4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 4.1 May 3, 2023.]
AND THEN WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF MAY 3RD, 2023.DO I THINK THE MINUTES ARE APPROVED? ALL RIGHT. ITEM FIVE PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA.
[5. PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA]
PUBLIC COMMENTS ANYONE? SEEING THERE ARE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX OLD BUSINESS 6.1 MOVIE NIGHT.
[6.1 Movie Night.]
THAT'S THE SENTIMENT.THAT WE ARE. SO I THINK THE NEXT MOVE WOULD BE TO SCHEDULE A DATE AND PICK A MOVIE.
I'M STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW. I'M SORRY.
THAT'S OKAY. DEO WE WANT TO DO AT THE END OF SUMMER? OR. THAT'S WHAT I WAS.
BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS I LEAVE JUNE 18TH FOR TILL JULY 30TH.
I'M GOING BACK TO MY SUMMER CAMP AND I'M TOURING COLLEGES UP THERE.
MAYBE WE DO LIKE RIGHT BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS.
AUGUST. YEAH, LIKE AUGUST 1ST.
OR SHOULD WE? OR THE FIRST FRIDAY OF AUGUST.
SHOULD WE DO THE END OF SUMMER OR LIKE THAT WEEKEND.
4TH WOULD BE PROBABLY OUR BEST OPTION.
WHAT DAY IS THAT? IT'S FRIDAY, AUGUST 4TH.
WE HAVE TO GIVE THE SPECIAL EVENTS COMMITTEE 60 DAYS NOTICE AND 60 DAYS FROM TODAY IS THE FIRST.
SO THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO LIKE APPLY NOW.
OKAY. I FRIDAY, AUGUST 4TH IS I LIKE THAT DATE.
OKAY. I THINK THAT DATES GOOD.
ALL RIGHT. ARE WE GOOD? YEAH. OKAY, LET'S JUST CHECK AND SEE MAKE SURE THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER EVENTS GOING ON.
OKAY. [INAUDIBLE] WHEN DOES SCHOOL START? THE 10TH. MOST LIKELY THE 10TH.
SOUNDS ON CENTER IS THAT NIGHT.
DO WE WANT TO DO IT LIKE SATURDAY? DO YOU THINK THAT YOU HAVE THE SAME AUDIENCE AS THE FRIDAY? SO THEN MAYBE WE DON'T DO IT BECAUSE LIKE, WE HAVE TO GIVE 60 DAYS NOTICE SO WE CAN DO A THURSDAY.
I DON'T REALLY THINK IT MATTERS IF IT'S LIKE, OH, WELL, I ALSO THINK ABOUT ADULTS RIGHT NOW, TOO, BECAUSE, I MEAN, I DON'T I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO MATTER IN TERMS OF KIDS, BUT I DO AGREE.
YEAH, ADULTS HAVE STUFF TO DO.
I WOULD BE FINE WITH THE THURSDAY IN THE SUMMERTIME, BUT IT'S THURSDAY AND OUR AUDIENCE IS CHILDREN.
BUT ALSO, LIKE, YOU HAVE TO THINK LIKE WE WANT LITTLE KIDS TO SHOW UP WITH THEIR PARENTS AND.
YEAH. SUNSET'S NOT TILL 8 P.M..
[00:05:25]
IN FAVOR OF THE AUGUST 11TH DATE? AYE.YEAH. YOU HAVE TO RAISE MONEY.
IS THAT TOO LATE? 8 ON A FRIDAY? I THINK IT WOULD BE FINE.
I MEAN, IS THAT LIKE SUNSET OR LIKE LAST LIGHT? THAT'S SUNSET. SO I THINK IT WOULD BE EVEN LATER THAN THAT.
IS THAT GOOD? WELL, NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO START UNTIL 8 ANYWAY, SO I THINK 7 IS FINE.
DOES IT DOES THE SUN START SETTING AT 8? IS THAT WHAT WE'RE SAYING RIGHT NOW? YEAH.
RIGHT. DONE. DEAD LIKE IT'S DARK TIME OR IT STARTS AT 8 BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S STARTING TO SET.
WELL, IT'S LIKE THE SUN IS SET AT EIGHT, BUT LIKE IT'S STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
SO WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO START.
MY WATCH HAS ALL THE PHASES OF THE SUN THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
YOU CANNOT SEE THE SUN ANYMORE.
AND LIKE LAST LIGHT IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE YOU CAN STILL SEE, LIKE, THE GLOW.
YEAH, BUT I THINK WE JUST HAVE TO GET OVER.
I AM. I AM. I JUST TOOK ME A SECOND TO GET INTO MY DOCS, BUT I'M HERE.
OKAY, SO 6:30 AUGUST 11TH, WHO IS GOING TO FILL OUT THE SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT? I CAN.
OKAY. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU DO YOU KNOW, LIKE BALLPARK WHEN THAT WOULD BE? THE SECOND TUESDAY OF THE MONTH AT 2 P.M.
SO THAT WOULD BE THIS UPCOMING TUESDAY.
THE 12TH. WAIT, THE 13TH WAIT.
IT SHOULD BE. BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH COMING UP NEXT.
SO IF YOU CAN GET IT IN FAST ENOUGH BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ADVERTISE OR ANYTHING UNTIL IT'S APPROVED BY THE 13TH OKAY. BUT I JUST NEED THE FORMS AGAIN BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY HARD PART FOR ME AND THEN WE HAVE TO GET IT SIGNED TOO.
DON'T I HAVE TO? I NEED IT SIGNED.
SO WHAT YOU MISSED IS WE'RE HAVING MOVIE NIGHT, AUGUST 11TH.
OKAY. SO WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO DO, RIGHT? WE NEED MONEY.
WE NEED A LOT OF MONEY [INAUDIBLE] . COULD I ASK HOW THE FOOD TRUCKS DID? WERE THEY HAPPY WITH.
I THINK THEY WERE PRETTY HAPPY WITH HOW THEY DID.
YEAH. SO I TALKED A LOT TO THE TACO TRUCK PEOPLE AND HE KIND OF HE WHAT DID WE DO LAST TIME WE DID HIM PLUS LIKE THE DIXIE.
[00:10:01]
I CAN HELP YOU IF YOU WANT ME TO.I'LL START DOING, LIKE, LOOKING FOR MONEY, AND I CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT.
OKAY. I CAN DO THE JAX TACO IF YOU WANT.
OH, YOU DO? YEAH, I DON'T MIND.
DO WE HAVE OUR LIST OF SPONSORS FROM LAST YEAR AND KNOW WHO WE SHOULD GO BACK? LET ME. LET ME THINK ABOUT IT REAL QUICK.
THERE'S LIKE, EIGHT OF US. YOU DON'T HAVE IT MEMORIZED.
I GUESS MY QUESTION ABOUT THE SPONSORS WAS MEANT TO BE DO WE GO BACK TO THOSE PEOPLE AGAIN AND DO WE KNOW FOR SURE? I THINK WE SHOULD TRY TO RE-UP.
YES. [INAUDIBLE] IF THE BANK DOES NOT GIVE US AS MUCH AS THEY GAVE US THE FIRST TIME, WHICH OBVIOUSLY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM NOT DOING THAT BECAUSE THEY LITERALLY GAVE US SO MUCH THE FIRST TIME. I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO ASK TO GET THAT SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM LIKE ONE GUY, LIKE ONE BANK.
THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN NOW BECAUSE THEY GAVE US LIKE THREE TIMES AMOUNT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE GIVE US.
I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD TRY TO ASK THE OLD SPONSOR, BUT WE SHOULD ALSO ASK A COUPLE NEW ONES.
ALSO, WE NEED TO ADD SOME MORE.
WE CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY.
DID WE ADD LAST YEAR? DID WE INCLUDE THE HOTEL AT MAIN BEACH, THE HOTELS AT MAIN BEACH? LIKE ASK THEM FOR THEIR SPONSORSHIP? YEAH, NO, THAT'S A SMART IDEA.
DO YOU THINK THAT LIKE PUTT PUTT PLACE WOULD SPONSOR? MAYBE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK ISLAND FALLS WOULD NOT THAT PLACE THE ONE RIGHT ON MAIN BEACH.
MHM. THAT'S THE SAME GUY WHO OWNS THE CIGAR PLACE.
THE ONE WHO OWNS THE PUTT PUTT PLACE.
YES. BECAUSE HE OWNS THE LEASE FOR AMELIA RIVER GOLF.
HE MIGHT, YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT WANT TO USE THAT.
YOU'RE ALREADY CONNECTED TO THE CITY.
YEAH, I WILL. I DO KNOW HIM AND HIS FAMILY, SO I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT IF ANY OF YOU ARE GOING TO ASK PEOPLE FOR MONEY, YOU KNOW, WHO'S ASKING WHO EARLIER THAN WE DID LAST TIME BECAUSE YOU KIND OF GOT BUNCHED UP THERE AT THE END, I THINK.
AND CERTAINLY NOW IS NOT TOO EARLY TO START ASKING IF WE'RE DOING A MOVIE.
IN AUGUST, I TEXTED MY MOTHER AND SHE SAID TO ASK HER LAW PARTNER.
ANDREW, WHO ARE YOU GOING TO ASK? I COULD ASK.
[INAUDIBLE] I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WOULD DO IT OR NOT.
AND I COULD ALSO ASK MY DAD OF ABOUT LIKE ROGERS TOWERS.
THEY'RE BASED IN JACKSONVILLE, BUT THEY HAVE AN OFFICE HERE.
THEY HAVE AN OFFICE HERE RIGHT BY CANTINA LILY.
THAT'S GOOD. CHRISTIAN, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS? [INAUDIBLE] ARE YOU WRITING THESE DOWN ELIZA? OKAY. ROGERS TOWERS.
NOT JUST WITH SPONSOR WITH ANYTHING WITH MOVIE NIGHT THAT YOU'D LIKE TO BE IN CHARGE OF.
THEY GET ASKED FOR SPONSORSHIPS ALL THE TIME, EVERY SINGLE DAY.
ASK THEM? LIKE, IF. YEAH, JUST LET ME KNOW.
[00:15:02]
I GUESS. SO THAT WHAT MAYOR PHIL GOFF SAID.LIKE, IF YOU'RE ASKING THE FUDGE SHOP.
ANDREWS NOT ASKING THE FUDGE SHOP, JUST IF Y'ALL WOULD TEXT ME AND LET ME KNOW AND I CAN SAY, OH, NO, THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN ASKED, OKAY, COULD YOU RESEND [INAUDIBLE] THE SPONSOR? YEAH, I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE PROBABLY NEED TO UPDATE IT.
LET'S LOOK AT IT. WHAT ABOUT YOU, SEVINA? DO YOU HAVE ANY THING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE IN CHARGE OF FOR MOVIE NIGHT? [INAUDIBLE] ELIZA DO YOU WANT TO PASS ON THE ROLE OF DOING THE SWANK THING OR.
NO, I'VE GOT THAT. I'VE GOT THAT.
I'VE ALREADY DONE IT THREE TIMES.
I CAN DO IT AGAIN BECAUSE IT MAKES MORE SENSE FOR ME TO DO IT NOW.
YES, BUT ARE WE DOING THE THING WITH THE DATES AGAIN AS WE CHOOSE THREE DATES OR ARE WE JUST GOING TO DO AUGUST RIGHT NOW? AND THEN AFTER AUGUST, WE SEE HOW THAT GOES? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION BECAUSE IT'LL HAVE TO DO WITH OUR SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE WHAT WE'RE PROMISING.
YEAH, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S PROBABLY BEST IF WE WERE JUST TO CHOOSE ONE DATE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE LAST TIME OUR ISSUE WAS LIKE WE SCHEDULED OUT REALLY FAR IN ADVANCE AND THEN IT WAS LIKE HOME FOOTBALL GAME.
IT IS. I COULD TALK TO PRIDE AGAIN.
FERNANDINA BEACH PRIDE. DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GOING TO DO THE LAST TIME? OKAY, I KNOW. BUT THEN THEY DIDN'T GO TO LIKE TWO OUT OF THREE OF THEM, WHICH I UNDERSTAND.
YEAH, THAT WAS. I FELT VERY AWKWARD.
THERE'S NO HARM IN ASKING THEM.
SO THESE ARE THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT PRIDE.
SO WHOEVER HAS THEM, WHAT DO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, CHRISTIAN? OR DO YOU WANT TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DO THAT? YEAH, [INAUDIBLE] PERFECT.
IF ANYBODY DOES WANT TO TALK TO THE TWO NEW HOTELS AND THE THE ONE THAT'S SEASIDE AMELIA, THE MARRIOTT COURTYARD. AND THERE'S SOME KIND OF.
YEAH, IT'S LIKE THE HOMEWOOD OR.
THERE'S ONE PERSON WHO IS THE GENERAL MANAGER AND I CAN GIVE YOU THE NAME OF THAT PERSON AS A CONTACT IF YOU WANT TO TALK ALSO, I REACHED OUT TO THEM.
I THINK I DID REACH OUT TO THEM, BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE EMAIL.
THE EMAIL WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL.
LIKE EVERY TIME I WOULD EMAIL, I WOULD GET LIKE AN AUTOMATED INSTANT EMAIL SAYING LIKE THIS.
LIKE THIS EMAIL IS LIKE, WRONG.
SOMETHING IS WRONG. SO WHOEVER DOES IT AND I CAN ACTUALLY DO IT, BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THEY CALL BECAUSE OR JUST CALL LIKE, HEY, LIKE, DO YOU THINK YOU'D BE INTERESTED? LIKE I COULD SEND YOU OVER THE SPONSOR PACKET FOR YOUR DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND STUFF.
BUT YEAH, BECAUSE I REMEMBER THE EMAIL.
SO THIS IS OUR SPONSOR PACKAGE.
SO THE BIG THING WOULD BE THAT PREVIOUSLY WE WERE ADVERTISING FOR THREE MOVIE NIGHTS.
DO WE WANT TO DO WE LOWER THE PRICE OR DO WE SAY ONE MOVIE NIGHT WITH THE POTENTIAL OF HAVING TWO MORE? I LIKE THE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IF WE DO ONE DEFINITE, THAT'S GOOD.
I DON'T WANT TO STRETCH US THIN AGAIN WITH THREE AND THEN BARELY MAKE THE CUTS FOR THE THIRD.
JUST HOW DO I LIKE HOW DO YOU TRANSPARENTLY SAY THAT? GIVE US THE SAME AMOUNT. WE JUST CHANGE THE FLYER AND YOU JUST SAY AUGUST 11TH AND WE'LL TAKE OUT SERIES.
YOU'RE AMAZING. [INAUDIBLE] SO DO I UNDERSTAND THAT WE MIGHT NOT DO THREE, CORRECT? I THINK I THINK THE GOAL IS TO EVENTUALLY DO THREE, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO PLAN THEM OUT NOW BECAUSE THE ATHLETIC CALENDARS FOR THE SCHOOL, IT'S LIKE OUR STUFF NEEDS TO BE PREDICATED ON THAT BECAUSE.
SO WOULD IT WOULD IT BE OKAY THEN TO SAY FUTURE DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED? I MEAN THAT'S I MEAN YEAH WE COULD DO AND TWO MORE TBA DATES.
REMEMBER LAST YEAR WE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH IN OCTOBER ALL ACCOUNTS GO DOWN TO ZERO.
SO I NEED TO SPEAK WITH THE FISCAL YEAR FOR THE CITY.
SO I NEED TO SPEAK WITH WHERE DOES THAT MONEY GO? IT GOES BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND.
YEAH. SO, MARY, COULD I ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THAT, PLEASE?
[00:20:05]
DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE MONEY THAT THESE GUYS BROUGHT IN IS NOW IN THE GENERAL FUND? YES, BUT WE GOT US RIGHT.THAT'S WHAT WE HAD TO GO BACK AND ASK.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH, SO WE USED MOST OF IT.
OKAY. AND THEN WE WERE SHORT, SO WE GOT THAT EXTRA DONATION ELIZA NABBED FROM FIRST PORT.
WE DIDN'T. I MEAN, WE MADE ENOUGH TO HAVE THE LAST MOVIE NIGHT.
THAT'S WEIRD. SO IT'S DISAPPEARS FROM US THE END OF THE YEAR.
IT'S THE FISCAL YEAR STARTS OCTOBER 1ST.
SO WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT MONEY THAT IS WACKY.
THAT IS. WELL, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOU ALL HAD HOPED THAT IF YOU DID MAKE ANY MONEY TO USE IT FOR OTHER THINGS, WE COULD DONATE IT TO THE CITY AT SOME CAPACITY, DO SOMETHING WITH IT.
IT'S LIKE WHAT WE WANTED TO DO.
YOU HAVE INSIGHT ON THAT? I, I DON'T HAVE LIKE ACCURATE INSIGHT, BUT I CAN LOOK INTO IT THAT'S OKAY.
WHAT ABOUT WHAT MOVIE WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO? THIS IS THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION WE'VE ASKED.
YEAH, TO HOLD, BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF YOUNG PARENTS, LIKE WITH YOUNG CHILDREN, WANT TO BRING THEIR KIDS, BUT THE MOVIES THAT YOU'RE PICKING AREN'T HOLDING THEIR ATTENTION ENOUGH. SO LIKE AN OLDIE THAT LIKE AN OLDER GENERATION WOULD WANT TO WATCH, BUT THEN SOMETHING THAT YOUNGER KIDS WOULD.
HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT PARENT TRAP? LOVE IT. MY DAUGHTER LOVES WHICH ONE? WELL, LET ME MAKE SURE THEY HAVE IT ON THE LINDSAY LOHAN ONE.
HOLD ON. YEAH. THERE'S ALSO IT TAKES TWO.
IT'S CUTE AND IT'S LIKE SUMMER.
YEAH, IT'S LIKE PARENT TRAP IS GREAT.
YOU COULD SERVE OREOS AND PEANUT BUTTER.
LET ME MAKE SURE THAT DIXIE WILL DO FRIED OREOS.
IS THAT ENOUGH? THE ONES WITH LINDSAY LOHAN.
SO YOU'RE THINKING PARENT TRAP OR DO YOU ALL NEED TO VOTE? WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT OTHER MOVIES SO WE HAVE OTHER OPTIONS, BUT IT'S BLOCKED ON MY COMPUTER FOR SOME REASON.
[00:25:19]
THE SANDLOT IS SUCH A GOOD MOVIE.IS ANYONE OPPOSED TO PARENT TRAP.
I LIKE I'M FINE I'M NOT OPPOSED TO PARENT TRAP.
I JUST WANT AT LEAST LIKE ONE OTHER CHOICE.
BUT IF EVERYONE WANTS PARENT TRAP, THEN WE'LL JUST GO WITH PARENT TRAP.
THAT'S A GREAT I LOVE SHREK I DON'T WANT SHREK. DO THEY NOT DO NEW MOVIES? THEY DO. BUT THE NEWER IS, I THINK THE MORE EXPENSIVE IT'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE LIKE, IF WE WERE TO DO LIKE LITERALLY THE MARIO MOVIE OH, THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
BUT IF THE PARENT TRAP IS ON, I'LL BE LIKE YEAH, I THINK TEEN BEACH MOVIE IS FUN.
TEEN BEACH MOVIE HAS A LOT OF DANCING AND SINGING.
I THINK IT'S JUST A GOOD TIME.
I THINK SHREK IS PRETTY SHORT.
I AM VETOING SHREK IMMEDIATELY.
OKAY. THAT'S NOT A VETO SITUATION.
THAT'S OKAY. I AM QUOTING BEACH MOVIE SURF'S UP WOULD ALSO BE FUN AND SURF'S UP.
SO IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE REACHED PARENT TRAP TEEN BEACH MOVIE.
SO WE WANT TO DO ALL IN FAVOR OF PARENT TRAP.
ALL IN FAVOR OF TEEN BEACH MOVIE.
AYE. OKAY, SO WE'RE DOING TEEN BEACH MOVIE SHE SAID SHE'S NERVOUS.
I JUST HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT.
AND IT'S LIKE. IT'S LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD.
I WATCHED THAT. IT IS A GOOD MOVIE.
ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT MOVIE NIGHT THAT WE'RE MISSING? I THINK THAT'S IT.
[00:30:02]
AND THEN ARE YOU GOING TO EMAIL US OUT THE PACKET? ARE YOU GOING TO EMAIL MIKE BROOKS? YEAH. YES, I'LL EMAIL HIM.YEAH. AND YOU'RE DOING SWANK AND YOU'RE DOING PARTY FLICKS.
YES. ARE YOU SURE? YES. WELL, THAT'S EASY.
NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, I CAN DO THAT.
OH, BY THE WAY, I MOVED BACK TO CITY HALL, SO MY OFFICE IS HERE NOW, SO IT'LL BE A LOT EASIER.
SO YOU'RE HERE. YOU'RE HERE. I'M IN THIS BUILDING NOW.
WHERE WERE YOU BEFORE? OVER AT PECK CENTER.
OH, I LIKE THAT OFFICE, ACTUALLY.
WHO'S GOT THAT? I VOLUNTEERED TO DO THAT.
SO ACTUALLY, COULD WE ADVERTISE THROUGH YOU AND YOUR SUMMER CAMP? BUT ROB HICKS, MY BOY, HIS WIFE IS.
SHE'S A TEACHER. OH, SHE A LIBRARIAN.
SHE'S A LIBRARIAN AT SOUTHSIDE ELEMENTARY, SO SHE WOULD BE A GOOD CONTACT.
I'M ADDING I NEED TO ADD IT TO MY LIST RIGHT NOW.
PERHAPS? YES. PERHAPS THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.
AND I CAN DO. I CAN KNOW HOW TO DO THE MOVIE EQUIPMENT RENTAL.
LIKE MAYBE THEY'LL GIVE US THE SAME PERSON BECAUSE THEY'RE SO EASY TO WORK WITH.
WAIT. I JUST BLANKED REALLY HARD, SO I CAN'T DO THE SWANK STUFF UNTIL THE CITY.
ARE YOU ARE YOU DOING THE SPECIAL EVENT COMMITTEE MEETINGS NOW? I'LL SEND YOU GUYS THE SPONSOR FLYERS.
WE ARE SAYING FUTURE DATES TO BE DETERMINED.
OKAY. SMART. EVERYONE FEEL GOOD? YES. OKAY, COOL.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON. OKAY, MADAM CHAIR, ITEM 6.2, ADOPT A PARK.
[6.2 Adopt a Park.]
I WILL. OH, I HAVE AN UPDATE ON THAT.I SPOKE TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR.
SHE. HER BIG THING, THOUGH, IS SIMMONS PARK.
THEY'RE CREATING AN APP FOR IT.
DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT? YEAH. CAN YOU MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE? OKAY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER BEEN AT THE PODIUM, AND THIS IS THE MOST I'VE EVER BEEN IN IT.
I KNOW THAT. CAITLIN RIVERA, FOR THE RECORD.
UM, CAN YOU SAY YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE? OH, YEAH. SHOULD I DO 2500 ATLANTIC AVENUE? BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE MY OFFICE IS.
UM, SO BASICALLY, I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF IT, BUT WE HAVE AN APP WHERE WE'RE GOING TO YOU GET A QR CODE AND THEN IT BASICALLY GIVES YOU LIKE A GAME THAT YOU CAN PLAY AROUND SIMMONS PARK.
SO YOUR PHONE TURNS INTO LIKE A YOU REMEMBER THAT'S SO I WAS VERY BIG AT IT.
SO IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME THING AND WE'RE GOING TO GET TWO VERSIONS, I BELIEVE.
SHE WAS LIKE, YOU LIKE CODING STUFF, RIGHT.
I DON'T THINK SHE NEEDS HELP CODING IT.
OKAY. DO YOU KNOW WHAT GAMES ARE? OKAY. LIKE SOME VIDEOS OF PEOPLE DOING IT TO DRAW PEOPLE TO GO THERE.
I'M YOUR GAL. CAN WE. IT'S NOT ACTUALLY POKEMON GO.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE SO EXCITED.
DO YOU KNOW THE GAMES THAT WOULD BE OFFERED? I THINK IT'S JUST ONE SPECIFIC.
YEAH, I THINK THERE'S ROOM TO CHOOSE.
SO BOTTOM LINE, THOUGH, IS THAT SHE WOULD LIKE YOU TO ADOPT SIMMONS PARK.
YEAH. ARE YOU ALL AGREEABLE TO THAT? AND I ALSO THINK NOT ONLY FOR THIS APP, BUT FOR OTHER REASONS, LIKE YOU CAN THROW EVENTS THERE, YOU COULD HOST THINGS THERE.
I THINK WE JUST WANT TO GET PEOPLE TO GO TO THAT PARK BECAUSE IT IS VERY HIDDEN.
[00:35:01]
YEAH, THERE IS. I'VE NEVER BEEN RUNNING THERE ONE TIME.THOUGH. AND I WAS SO SCARED BECAUSE IT WAS SO DARK.
LIKE I RAN SO FAST THROUGH THAT I WAS TRYING TO GET OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
WELL, THAT'S GOOD. IT GOT YOUR HEART RATE UP.
THANK YOU. OH, THAT'S SO CUTE.
YAY. DO WE GET A NAME PLAQUE FOR OUR.
DO WE GET, LIKE, A YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE THING FOR THE PARK? I'LL ASK CATHERINE. THAT'S THE ONLY IMPORTANT POINT.
OKAY, SO IF YOU WANT TO IF YOU SAID THE PARKS AND REC MANAGER, SHE WANTS TO MAKE A VIDEO.
OKAY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS, BUT YES, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A VIDEO, IS IT OKAY IF IT'S SILLY? I SPECIALIZE IN SILLY.
OKAY. WE HAVE PROBABLY A MONTH OR SO TO WORK ON IT.
OKAY. ITEM 6.3, DEFINE ISLAND VIBE.
[6.3 Define "Island Vibe".]
SO FOR YOU ALL WHO MISSED OUR LAST MEETING ELIZA.UM, WE WENT THROUGH A GOAL SETTING WORKSHOP AND THE BIG THING WAS THE REASON WHY ANYONE WOULD WANT TO RETURN TO FERNANDINA IS BECAUSE OF THE ISLAND VIBE. SO MAYOR FIELKOW TASKED EVERYONE TO THINK OF WHAT MAKES THIS ISLAND VIBE SO THAT WE CAN FOCUS ON KEEPING THAT.
OKAY. I WANT TO GO DOWN THE LINE AND SAY WHAT YOU'VE COME UP WITH.
OKAY. ANDREW, ARE YOU READY? YEAH. UM, JUST LIKE, CLEAN, OVERALL CLEAN BEACHES AND, LIKE, NOT VERY.
SO IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE I'M AT, LIKE, A TOURIST DESTINATION, BUT IT KIND OF LIKE, I LOVE HOW AMERICAN BEACH IS, LIKE, ONLY OPEN TO, LIKE, COUNTY RESIDENTS. THAT'S LIKE IT'S NEVER THAT BUSY THERE.
LIKE, EVEN WHEN I WAS THERE ON MEMORIAL DAY AND THERE WAS NOT THAT BAD.
BUT YEAH, JUST LIKE THINGS LIKE THAT.
JUST LIKE THINGS THAT MAKE IT FEEL LESS LIKE A TOURIST DESTINATION AND MORE LIKE.
THIS IS PROBABLY WEIRD, BUT I HAVE TO SAY, LIKE PLANTS.
THAT'S NOT WEIRD. FLORA AND FAUNA.
SO GREAT. I MEAN, YEAH, JUST LIKE A LOT OF GREEN PLANTS.
SORRY, THAT WASN'T. I'M SO SORRY.
IT'S OKAY. IT'S NOT AT YOU. I'M SORRY I'M GIVING YOU.
SOMEBODY IS BEING A GIGGLE BOX TODAY.
SO SORRY. IT'S BECAUSE I'M SITTING ON THIS SIDE.
OH, MY GOD. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE HER.
LIKE WHENEVER I, LIKE, RUN THROUGH DOWNTOWN IN THE MORNING, WHENEVER, LIKE, IT'S.
IT WAS EPIC. IT'S NICE AND CLEAN.
IT'S VERY HOT, BUT THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT.
UM, YOU KNOW, NATURE, BRICKS, I THINK OF BRICKS.
YEAH. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT CHANGING THAT ONE BUILDING? THAT USED TO BE.
LIKE THE OWNERS OF LUCCA, LIKE LUCCA AND [INAUDIBLE] OWNED THAT OTHER BUILDING.
SPEAKERS] YOU KNOW, YOUR GOAL COULD BE TO JOIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COUNCIL.
SPECIFIC SET OF DESIGN GUIDELINES.
THE EXTERIOR OF THOSE BUILDINGS HAVE SPECIFIC SETS OF GUIDELINES.
SO WHEN YOUR DAD IS TALKING ABOUT BUILDING A QUOTE, NEW BUILDING WHERE THE POCKET PARK IS, THE DESIGN OF IT HAS TO EMULATES A BUILDING THAT USED TO BE THERE.
[00:40:02]
YEAH. IN THAT SPOT.THEY HAD MESSED WITH IT WAY TOO MUCH AND DIDN'T FOLLOW ALL THE GUIDELINES.
SO IN FACT, THERE USED TO BE A GAS STATION THERE AT ONE POINT IN TIME.
SO IF YOU LOOK ON THE OTHER END OF THAT BLOCK WHERE AMELIA ISLAND TAVERN IS, DOES EVERYBODY REMEMBER WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE? IT LOOKS SIMILAR ON BOTH ENDS OF THE BLOCK.
AMELIA ISLAND TAVERN USED TO BE O'KANE'S.
AND WHAT THAT BUILDING HAD BEEN WAS THE VERY FIRST CAR DEALERSHIP IN DOWNTOWN FORD DEALERSHIP FORD MOTOR COMPANY, MRS . LASSERRE MOTORS.
SO WHAT THEY DID WAS BUILD A BUILDING ON THE SAME DESIGN OF ONE THAT HAD BEEN THERE ORIGINALLY.
AND I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S WHAT THEY DID WITH PABLO'S NEW PLACE, ALTHOUGH THE NAME IS BEING CHANGED.
WHAT? IT'S NOT PABLO'S ANYMORE.
MEZCAL. THEY'RE GETTING TOO BOUGIE NOW.
SO, LIKE, SO ABSOLUTELY EXPENSIVE.
WHAT WHAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IS IF THE DOWNTOWN HISTORIC LOOK AND FEEL IS ANYTHING THAT'S IMPORTANT TO THE ENTIRE COUNCIL, WHAT YOU SHOULD PROBABLY CONSIDER IS WRITING SOMETHING LIKE THAT, A LETTER FROM THE COUNCIL TO THE HDC. NOW THAT HAS TO BE YOUR DECISION WHETHER YOU WANT TO DO THAT OR NOT.
BUT I MEAN, IF WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS PROTECT THE HISTORY OF FERNANDINA BEACH AS WELL AS THE ENVIRONMENT OF FERNANDINA BEACH, YOU GOT SOME PROJECTS THAT COULD FALL OUT OF THAT.
YEAH. OR SOME RECOMMENDATIONS AS A COUNCIL TO MAKE TO OTHER COUNCILS OR TO OTHER DEPARTMENT HEADS IN THE CITY. SO YOU'RE GOING TO ESTABLISH A WORKING RELATIONSHIP ON THIS SIMMONS PARK THING WITH PARKS AND REC, PERHAPS WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND THE PRESERVATION PLANNER, YOU COULD ESTABLISH A PARTNERSHIP ALONG THOSE LINES FOR HISTORY.
FOR THE BEACH AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER ESTABLISHING AT LEAST A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TDC.
BECAUSE THE TDC RIGHT NOW PAYS ALL THE BEACH CLEANUP EXPENSE.
THE CITY DOESN'T DO THAT AND THE COUNTY DOESN'T DO IT.
THE GREENWAY IS MAINTAINED BY THE CITY THROUGH PARKS AND REC.
BUT WHAT YOU'VE ALL SAID SO FAR IS ENVIRONMENTAL AND HISTORY.
SO WHAT ABOUT YOU? MY ISLAND VIBE IS IS KIND OF THE SAME, BUT IT'S LIKE, DIFFERENT.
I LOVE THAT. LIKE, THAT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO, ESPECIALLY LIKE DURING THE SUMMER, EVEN LIKE, I JUST LOVE DOING IT AND EVEN LIKE GOING DOWNTOWN, YOU KNOW, SEEING LIKE, ALL, LIKE THE LIGHTS AND STUFF.
LIKE, I JUST LOVE THAT. LIKE, THAT'S THE WAY MY THING, IT MAKES IT ALMOST FEEL LIKE.
LIKE EVERYONE'S LIKE, CAREFREE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT WORRYING ABOUT ANYTHING LIKE, AND OR WHERE YOU'RE GOING, YOU KNOW, LIKE EVEN IF THERE'S LIKE TRAFFIC OR WHATEVER, BECAUSE SOME, SOME POINTS OF THE DAY, LIKE, ESPECIALLY AROUND, LIKE LUNCHTIME.
OH, MAN. SOUTH FLETCHER IT GETS IT CAN BE LIKE KIND OF LIKE BUMPER TO BUMPER.
BUT LIKE, I DON'T NECESSARILY CARE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I'M JUST, I'M JUST DRIVING.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, SEVINA? YOU KNOW LIKE THE RESTAURANTS DOWNTOWN OR THE BEACHES? BUT PROBABLY LIKE JUST ALL THE RESTAURANTS EVERYWHERE, THE RESTAURANTS AND THE FACT THAT THEY'RE LOCAL.
AND ALSO THERE'S LIKE THREE RESTAURANTS.
SO I WOULDN'T IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S A MCDONALD'S.
THAT WAS THE FIRST RESTAURANT.
[00:45:07]
OKAY, SHE WASN'T HERE.AND OBVIOUSLY, IF THERE WAS NO TOURISM, WE WOULD BE ALL BROKEN, NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD ANYTHING.
BUT I LIKE LIKE, LIKE WHAT LIBBY SAID, DRIVING, LIKE BEING ABLE TO BE CAREFREE.
BUT I DO WISH THAT WHEN PEOPLE DO COME HERE LIKE THE DRIVING BE FASTER THAN IT IS.
CAN WE DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION CALL.
WE COULD ASK THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
NO, I THINK THAT'S A STATE ROAD.
IT IS. SHOULD I WRITE A LITTLE LETTER TO DESANTIS? PRETTY, PLEASE.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
YEAH. YOU MEAN MORE THAN OKAY.
EVERYTHING. MORE THAN EVERYTHING.
SO IT'S THE SPEED LIMIT ALONG FLETCHER? YEAH. OKAY.
ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT ISLAND VIBE THAT Y'ALL WANT TO TALK ABOUT? ONE MORE THING. HONESTLY, BEST PART OF THE ISLAND IS YOU GUYS KNOW THE BEACH.
IT'S LIKE A LITTLE TINY FRAGMENT OF BEACH.
IT'S LIKE ON THE FORT, BUT IT'S LIKE IF YOU GO TO THE FORT, LIKE, ALL THE WAY AT THE TOP POINT OF THE ISLAND, LIKE THE NORTHWEST CORNER, LIKE FROM DDS.
CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT.
SORRY, I KEEP GETTING OFF TRACK, BUT WHAT'S THAT ABOUT? WHY NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN IT TO ME.
LIKE WHAT? WATER SYSTEM YOU'RE ON.
WAIT. SO. SO DOES THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND STUFF.
OH, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN LOOK LIKE.
LIKE THEY DON'T HAVE A YOUTH ADVISORY.
YEAH, BUT THEY DO HAVE THEIR OWN, LIKE, PLAN ADVISORY.
IS IT HERE? NO, THEY HAVE A COUNTY OFFICE OFF THAT ISLAND.
OKAY. SO ACROSS FROM CHICK FIL A, KIND OF JUST LIKE WE HAVE CITY COMMISSIONERS HERE, THEY HAVE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND AND WE ARE ALSO PART OF NASSAU COUNTY. SO WE SHOULD CARE, YOU KNOW, AS RESIDENTS OF NASSAU COUNTY, WHAT HAPPENS ANYWHERE ON THE ISLAND, WHETHER IT'S PART OF THE CITY OR NOT, A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT WE SHOULDN'T CARE, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD.
I MEAN, PEOPLE SPENDING MONEY HERE DON'T KNOW A DIFFERENCE SO.
THE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL DOES MARKET TO MID TO HIGH INCOME.
THEY'RE NOT MARKETING FOR SPRING BREAKERS OR PARTY ANIMALS THAT ARE GOING TO COME TRASH THE PLACE.
THEY ALSO MARKET OUR ENVIRONMENT AND OUR BEACHES AND OUR HISTORY.
WHAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT DOING IS SUPPORTING THEM WITH THAT OR SENDING SOME SORT OF SUPPORT LETTER TO THAT BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE THAT THAT WILL OR IF YOU DO BELIEVE THAT, THAT WILL HELP THAT ISLAND VIBE STAY THE WAY IT IS.
THAT MAKES SENSE, THOUGH, BECAUSE THEY BRING TOURISM IN.
SO WITHOUT TOURISM, DOWNTOWN WOULD BE PRETTY MESSED UP, I THINK, BECAUSE WHEN WHEN PEOPLE IN THE 1970S MADE DOWNTOWN LOOK THE WAY IT LOOKS NOW, THEIR MISSION WAS TO SUPPORT HISTORIC TOURISM.
THEY'RE ALL LIKE, I FEEL LIKE YOU CAN TELL THAT THEY LIKE THEY ALL LIKE ARE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF NOT ALL OF THEM JUST WANT TO GET LIKE, FRY AT THE BEACH AND THEN I MEAN, RIGHT.
SO THE PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE THE MOST DIFFICULTY WITH AS AN ISLAND ON THE BEACH ARE DAY TRIPPERS.
THEY'RE NOT SPENDING ANY MONEY HERE.
[00:50:02]
THEY'RE BRINGING ALL THEIR FOOD IN WITH THEM AND COOLERS, ALL THEIR BEER, ALL THE STUFF THAT THEY WANT TO EAT AND DRINK.THEY SPEND THE DAY, LEAVE THE TRASH ON THE BEACH AND GO HOME.
SO THAT IS, IN FACT, WHEN PEOPLE RAIL ABOUT TOURISM.
I THINK TO YOUR POINT, ANDREW, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY COMING HERE AND STAYING HERE AND INVESTING MONEY HERE FOR OUR BUSINESSES ARE NOT THE PEOPLE THAT THE TDC IS IS MARKETING TO.
AND AND TO FIND OUT JUST HOW BAD PEOPLE TRASH THE BEACH.
VOLUNTEER TO WORK FOR TURTLES TO FIND TURTLE NESTS.
SO YOU WALK ON THE BEACH AT 5:30 OR 6:00 IN THE MORNING.
I USED TO WALK FROM SIX WEST SIXTH STREET UP ON THE NORTH END TO MAIN BEACH EVERY FRIDAY MORNING, AND I WOULD FILL TWO TRASH BAGS.
WOW. BIG TRASH BAGS AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S A WHOLE CASE OF EMPTY BOTTLES.
IT'S EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT GETS LEFT ON THE BEACH.
SO THAT'S ANOTHER PLACE THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER A ROLE YOU ALL COULD PLAY.
SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO NOW IS WHEN I GET THE MINUTES FROM THIS MEETING AND COMBINE EVERYTHING THAT ELIZA HAS SO CAREFULLY DOCUMENTED OVER THERE THAT EVERYBODY SAID, THEN I'LL TRY TO TAKE THAT AND MAKE KIND OF A STATEMENT OUT OF IT THAT YOU CAN DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH.
OKAY. 4:51 ANYTHING ELSE [INAUDIBLE].
SO DO YOU WANT TO SKIP THE CALENDAR FOR THE YEAR BECAUSE YOU WANT TO
[7.1 Set calendar for the year.]
BUT I DO WANT TO AT SOME POINT, LIKE I SAID, I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO, GET A CALENDAR AND HAVE EVERYBODY JUST MARK OFF DATES THAT ARE NOT GOING TO WORK. AND WE CAN SAVE THAT, IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES COMPETITION.
[7.2 FL League of Cities Competitions.]
THAT WAS ME, AND I AM ACTUALLY NOT PREPARED FOR THAT ONE EITHER, SO WE CAN SKIP THAT ONE.[7.3 Host a "Teen Night".]
THAT WAS AN ITEM PLACED ON THE AGENDA BY MR. STOCKS. SO A FEW MONTHS AGO AT DAWN TO GO FOR A TEAM NIGHT, WHICH A LOT OF KIDS WERE ACTUALLY THERE AND A LOT OF THEM WERE ACTUALLY SURPRISING AMOUNT OF THEM WERE ISLAND KIDS.SO I WAS LIKE ASKING AROUND LIKE, IS THIS THE ONLY PLACE THAT DOES THAT? AND THEY SAID, YEAH, AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT AROUND THE ISLAND.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF WHAT WOULD WE DO IT.
AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT TALKING TO YOU AND ELIZA FOR YOUR ADVERTISING SKILLS AND HER BEING ABLE TO LIKE FIND PEOPLE TO SPONSOR AND LIKE DO THIS STUFF LIKE THAT.
THAT WOULD DEFINITELY BE FUN. WE TALKED ABOUT DOING ONE AT THE CITY GOLF COURSE.
WHAT I REALLY WANT, HOW I WANT TO KNOW BECAUSE I NEED TO GO GOLFING MY MOM WAS TRYING TO SELL MY CLUBS AND I WAS LIKE, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE IT AN ONGOING PROGRAM.
HONESTLY, IT'S IN MY PLAN FOR THE NEXT YEAR, SO BUT I NEED TEENS TO COME AND ACTIVITIES AND PLACES WHERE YOU WOULD WANT TO HAVE IT. SO THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT IS OPEN TO RUNNING THE WHOLE THING, PUTTING THE MONEY INTO IT.
WE JUST NEED YOUR HELP TO TELL US WHERE AND WHEN AND HOW AND WHAT WE NEED.
YEAH. SO WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO COME TO THE NEXT MEETING WITH SOME PLACES AND YOU KIND OF GIVE ME FEEDBACK AND WE SET SOME DATES? THAT'D BE GREAT. AWESOME.
TOPTRACER WE COULD DO LIKE A MUSIC THEMED ONE.
I WAS PLANNING ON LIKE DO YOU HAVE ANY, LIKE, IDEAS? JUST, LIKE, SPITBALLING NOW.
I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF OPTIONS WE COULD DO TOPTRACER WE COULD DO MUSIC NIGHT.
WE COULD DO LIKE AN OPEN MIC NIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW. THAT WAS REALLY BIG WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
[00:55:10]
THESE BUILDINGS.WOULD TEENS WANT TO GO TO THE MLK RECREATION CENTER WHERE WE HAVE A STAGE AND HANG OUT IN THERE AND DO KARAOKE? I MEAN, THE STAGE WOULD SCARE PEOPLE.
I FEEL. YEAH, I'M NOT GONNA LIE.
I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS WOULD HAVE FUN DOING KARAOKE, BUT I DO NOT THINK IT'S JUST AN OPTION.
I MEAN, I'M TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING LIKE, WHERE DO YOU WANT TO HANG OUT? YOU KNOW, LIKE, I KNOW A LOT OF TEENS, LIKE, GO TO TARGET ON THE WEEKEND.
LIKE, OH, LET'S NOT DO THAT AND LET'S DO SOMETHING FUN OR LIKE MY LIFEGUARDS, THEY LIKE TO GO LIKE ALLIGATOR HUNTING AND I'M LIKE THAT'S TERRIFYING.
YEAH, BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
LIKE, WHERE'S A PLACE THAT'S COOL WITHIN THE CITY WHERE YOU WOULD.
WHERE WE COULD PUT ON A PROGRAM WHERE YOU WOULD WANT TO GO.
AND IT'S NOT LIKE YEAH. I THINK THAT IF THE CITY GOLF COURSE LIKE HAD FUN THINGS LIKE THAT THAT PEOPLE WOULD GO.
I THINK WE'RE WORKING ON THAT.
BUT IT NEEDS TO BE ADVERTISED.
WHEN YOU SAY MUSIC NIGHT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I JUST THREW THAT. YOU ASKED ME FOR AN IDEA AND I THREW IT OUT THERE LIKE WE COULD DROP THAT RIGHT OFF.
I MEAN, I KNOW I'M OLD, BUT THEY USED TO HAVE THIS THING WHERE IT WAS CALLED IN THE SPOTLIGHT, AND EVERY MONTH THEY WOULD HAVE LIKE, YOU'D HAVE A LINEUP AND YOU WOULD JUST GO AND HANG OUT AND PEOPLE WOULD PERFORM.
SO THEY WOULD HAVE BANDS, SINGERS JUST LIKE ONE PERSON SINGING DANCERS.
I MEAN, COMEDY, IT'S YOU'RE IN YOUR SPOTLIGHT.
THEY'D HAVE PEOPLE DO LIKE PLAYS.
AND I KNOW THEY'D BE SO PSYCHED TO PLAY.
SO THAT COULD BE A TEAM. I MEAN, YEAH, WE COULD.
OKAY, YOU BRAINSTORM, I'LL BRAINSTORM.
WE'LL COME TOGETHER. YEAH, I WILL.

DO WE HAVE HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN BE THERE? LET ME LOOK AT MY CALENDAR.I JUST HAVE TO TALK TO MY DIRECTORS IF THEY WOULD LET ME, SINCE I FEEL LIKE THEY WILL.
BECAUSE ONE GIRL HAS TO DO SCHOOL STUFF OVER THE SUMMER.

WHEN IS THAT ARE YOU BEING ELECTED AGAIN? TUESDAY.
I WORK. I WON'T BE ABLE TO GO EITHER.
I COULD TRY TO GET OFF ETHAN. RIGHT.
AND THEY ALL THEY ALL TEXTED ME AND ASKED ME TO PUT IN A GOOD WORD FOR THEM.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO ASK YOU UNLESS YOU PUT IN A REQUEST TO SPEAK.
PROBABLY GOING TO ASK ME, WOULD IT HELP IF THEY WENT LIKE TO? THE ISSUE IS IT'S ALWAYS AT THE END OF THE MEETING SO THEY COULD BE SITTING HERE.
I COULD BE HERE AT 7 SO YOU CAN WATCH WHAT YOU SHOULD, WHAT YOU COULD DO IS, YOU KNOW, LOOK ON THE TV AND SEE HOW FAR THEY'VE GOTTEN INTO THEIR AGENDA BECAUSE THEY USUALLY DO BOARD APPOINTMENTS
[01:00:11]
. BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IF THEY DON'T COME, LIKE, IT'LL LITERALLY JUST BE LIKE, LUCK OF THE DRAW.THEY WON'T EVEN KNOW THEY'RE HERE.
THEIR APPLICATION TELLS YOU WHAT GRADE THEY ARE.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO ZOOM IN.
IT DOESN'T SAY AGE BECAUSE THE THING IS, THIS IS A STANDARD APPLICATION FOR EVERYBODY.
SO THEY'RE NOT GOING TO ASK AN ADULT HOW OLD THEY ARE.
HE SAYS, I WANT TO BETTER MY COMMUNITY AND MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.
LIVE IN FOR ALL CITIZENS OF FERNANDINA BEACH.
AND THEN THIS IS I'M CURIOUS, WHO'S KIM? SHE IS THE CITY CLERK.
KEEP IN MIND, DID I ONLY ASK THE QUESTION FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE RELATIVELY NEW, DID ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS CALL YOU BEFORE YOU WERE SELECTED? I'M INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE INNER WORKINGS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PARTICIPATING AS AN ACTIVE CITIZEN.
GRAMMAR WOW, THAT WAS A GOOD ANSWER.
FINALLY, SOME GOOD CAPITALIZATION AND GRAMMAR.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED THEIR ADDRESSES.
BUT ANYWAY, THE POINT OF THAT IS WAIT WHO, ARE FOUR PEOPLE GOING TO BE IN TOWN ON JULY 7TH? YEAH, I SHOULD BE HERE.
