[00:00:02]
>> WELCOME TO THE YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE REGULAR MEETING TODAY DECEMBER 11.
[1. CALL TO ORDER]
WE'RE GOING TO START OFF OUR MEETING BY DOING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.EMMA, DO YOU WANT TO LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE?
>> CLAY. STEPHEN, NOT HERE, AND ZATIE.
>> [NOISE] JUST GIVE US A MINUTE BECAUSE WE CAN'T VOTE.
>> WE'LL COME BACK TO THAT IF WE GET AN EXTRA PERSON.
PUBLIC COMMENTS REGARDING AGENDA.
WE DON'T HAVE AN AUDIENCE, SO WE'LL SKIP THAT FOR NOW.
>> ALL RIGHT. NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO ON TO OUR NEW BUSINESS,
[7.1 Leadership Development: Dr. Crawford.]
7.1 LEADERSHIP AND DEVELOPMENT WITH DR. CRAWFORD.I WASN'T HERE FOR THIS, SO IF YOU GUYS WANT TO FILL ME OUT.
>> AT OUR MEETING TWO [OVERLAPPING]
>> YES. I THINK IT WAS YOUR IDEA.
>> IT WAS AT THE LAST MINUTE, BUT WE SKIPPED IT BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T HERE.
NO BIG DEAL. YOU WANTED TO DO SOMETHING.
I THINK YOU WERE GOING TO SPEAK WITH DR. CRAWFORD ABOUT DOING SOMETHING, [BACKGROUND]
>> ALL RIGHT. CAN YOU WRITE THAT DOWN AND SAY 7.1, JUST WRITE A NOTE AND SAY, JACOB NEEDS TO SPEAK TO DR. CRAWFORD AND I'LL GET THAT WITH US.
THEN WHATEVER SHE'S OPEN TO, WILL WORK AROUND THAT.
>> ALL RIGHT. YOU WERE GOING TO TALK ABOUT US DOING LEADERSHIP FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS. AWESOME.
>> ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM 7.2 ARTICLE IN THE NEWSPAPER.
[7.2 Article in News-Leader.]
>> YES. THIS IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT [OVERLAPPING].
[LAUGHTER] I STILL THINK WE SHOULD FOLLOW UP WITH THAT.
DO WE HAVE ANY CONTACTS WITH THE NEWS LEADER?
>> YES. I AM FRIENDLY WITH BOTH THE REPORTER WHO DOES THE CITY BEAT AND THE EDITOR TRACE ADDITIONS.
>> FOR THAT, WOULD WE NEED TO PROVIDE THEM WITH SOMETHING? WOULD WE NEED TO PROVIDE A WRITING OR WOULD THEY WRITE IT FOR US? HOW WOULD THAT WORK?
>> I CAN REACH OUT TO THEM AND SEE IF THEY WANT TO COME TO OUR NEXT MEETING.
WHAT WAS YOUR IDEA JUST TO HAVE A [OVERLAPPING]
>> AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CITY ABOUT WHAT WE ARE AND THAT WE WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE ATTENDANCE AT OUR MEETING SO THAT THERE CAN BE MORE OF AN ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY.
>> DO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WRITING THAT?
>> OKAY. MAYBE YOU CAN START THAT WAY, AND THEN I CAN SET UP AN INTERVIEW WITH JULIA.
>> OKAY. I'LL EMAIL JULIA ROBERTS.
WHY DON'T I DO THAT FIRST BEFORE YOU START, BEFORE YOU DO THE WORK? I'LL E-MAIL HER AND YOU AND SAY, WOULD SHE PREFER THAT YOU START IT OR DOES SHE WANT TO MEET WITH YOU FIRST AND DO AN INTERVIEW?
SHE COMES TO ALL THESE MEETINGS SO YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN HER.
SHE HAS LONG HAIR AND GLASSES AND SHE COMES AND TAKES PICTURES.
>> THAT'S GREAT. SOMETHING ABOUT HOW IT'S GOING TO BE A SCHEDULE THE INTERVIEW.
THERE'S GOING TO BE AN INTERVIEW, SO WE KNOW.
JUST MORE NOT SO I KNOW I NEED TO LOOK OVER ALL.
ALL RIGHT. NOW, SECTION ITEM NUMBER 7.3 TRIVIA NIGHT.
[7.3 Trivia Night.]
>> YES. YOU WERE NOT HERE FOR THIS ONE, SO WE'LL LOOK AT IT.
AT OUR LAST MEETING, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO COME UP WITH AN IDEA FOR A FUNDRAISER, AND I BELIEVE IT WAS EMMA, WHO HAD THE WINNING IDEA TO DO A TRIVIA NIGHT.
SIMILAR TO THE FERN BEACH HIGH SCHOOL FOUNDATION ONE THAT THEY DO.
I WROTE TO TRIVIA 30, WHO IS THE COMPANY THAT DOES IT, AND HE SAID, YES, FOR SURE,
[00:05:01]
THE REC CENTER IS A GREAT LOCATION.HE NEEDED TO KNOW BEFORE HE GAVE US A COST ESTIMATE, HOW MANY PEOPLE WE EXPECTED.
I SAID PIE IN THE SKY, 100 WILL BE AMAZING.
>> IS THERE ANY WAY WE COULD DO LIKE MOKAMA INSTEAD OF THE REC CENTER OR SOMETHING? BECAUSE I WAS THINKING AND THE CENTER IS A REALLY BIG SPACE, AND I FEEL LIKE IT'D BE HARD TO FILL IT UP.
>> THE BEAUTY OF DOING IT AT THE REC CENTER IS, THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY SITTING THERE, SO WE GET EVERYTHING FOR FREE.
>> IF WE'RE AT MOKAMA, ONE, DOES THAT LOOK BAD THAT WE'RE ENCOURAGING UNDERAGE PEOPLE TO GO TO A BAR?
>> OKAY. [LAUGHTER] LET'S DECREE THAT.
>> AS FAR AS SPONSORS GO, ARE WE LOOKING INTO GETTING SPONSORS? I WAS TALKING TO MISS BARB FROM THE ROTARY CLUB AND SHE SAID SHE WOULD NEED AN ESTIMATE, WHICH I THINK THEY WERE LOOKING INTO BECAUSE I READ THE NOTES ABOUT THE TRIVIA.
>> OKAY GREAT. THE THINGS THAT JUSTIN NEEDED TO KNOW THAT I CONTRIBUTE 30 [BACKGROUND] HE NEEDS TO KNOW A BALLPARK NUMBER AND HIS EXAMPLES WERE LIKE 75 -100 AND 100 -150 OR WHATEVER.
THEN HE WANTED TO KNOW IF WE WANTED A CERTAIN TOPIC, SO WE'D HAVE TO WRITE NEW QUESTIONS.
I JUST SAID THAT OUR TARGET IS HIGH SCHOOL KIDS AND OR FAMILY.
HE HAS AN ENTHUSIASTIC SET OF QUESTIONS.
I WANT TO ASK QUESTIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE AHEAD.
BUT I DIDN'T GIVE HIM A THEME, SO THAT'S UP TO YOU ALL.
HE WANTED IT TO BE A SPECIFIC THEME.
>> HIGH SCHOOL TRIVIA JUST SOUNDS LIKE [BACKGROUND]
>> THAT'S THE QUESTION, ARE YOU JUST THINKING IT'S GOING TO BE YOUR PEERS, OR DO YOU WANT TO INVITE THE WHOLE COMMUNITY?
>> FOR THE SPONSORSHIPS, ARE WE OPEN? ARE WE ALLOWED TO GO GET THE SPONSORSHIPS OUT ON OUR OWN RIGHT NOW AND JUST BRING A CHECK?
>> IT'S A TEXT WRITE-OUT, SO I CAN GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION.
>> ALL RIGHT. WRITE DOWN, ACTIVELY SEEK SPONSORSHIP. [LAUGHTER]
>> I CAN SEE YOU AS A CEO, YOU WRITE THIS DOWN. [LAUGHTER]
>> SHOULD WE PICK A DATE FOR A TRIVIA?
>> YES. AT OUR LAST MEETING, WE DISCUSSED A FRIDAY IN JULY.
I THINK THE REASON WE PICKED THAT IS BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE SIX MONTHS FROM WHEN THE FERNANDINA BEACH HIGH SCHOOL FOUNDATION DOES THEIRS, BUT REALLY IT DOESN'T MATTER.
>> I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD EITHER DO IT BEFORE OR AFTER SUMMER DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.
BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE GONE IN LIKE TRIVIA ISLAND [OVERLAPPING].
>> IT'S ALSO EASIER FOR US TO GATHER PEOPLE [OVERLAPPING]
>> YES. MAYBE IT COULD BE LIKE AN END-OF-THE-YEAR THING.
AS SCHOOL ENDS, COME [BACKGROUND] COMPETE WITH FOOTBALL BECAUSE WE HAD THAT BEFORE, [OVERLAPPING]
>> THE 20TH. WHEN'S MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY?
>> THAT'S TOO CLOSE, I FEEL LIKE.
>> OR WE DO THE 14TH OF MARCH?
>> YES. I WOULD SAY THE LATER THE BETTER BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY GOING TO MEET AGAIN AND WE HAVE OUR NEXT MEETINGS NOT UNTIL JANUARY 22ND.
WE WON'T ALL BE ABLE TO GET TOGETHER TO TALK ABOUT IT UNTIL THEN.
>> IF IT'S A FRIDAY NIGHT, THEN IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.
THEN WE WOULD MEET ON THE 3RD OF FEBRUARY.
WILL FEBRUARY 28TH WORK, BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE TWO MEETINGS BY THEN?
>> DO YOU WANT ME TO SEE IF THE REC CENTER IS FREE?
>> WRITE DOWN THE POTENTIAL DATE, FEBRUARY 13TH. [LAUGHTER]
>> WE'LL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT, DO YOU WANT TO SERVE FOOD? DO YOU NEED TO GET A FOOD SPONSOR? ARE WE GOING TO SEE IF SOMEBODY WILL DONATE PIZZA OR SOMETHING?
[00:10:03]
>> I THINK A FOOD SPONSOR WOULD BE GOOD, OR LIKE PIZZA, YES.
>> DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY CONTACTS WITH THE US PEOPLE?
>> FIRST LOVE. I COULD TRY TO GET IT BECAUSE MY DAD'S LIKE FRIENDS WITH HIM.
>> THEY'RE ALWAYS WILLING TO DO STUFF, I FEEL LIKE.
OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE KEGS AT LIKE A PART OF THE WATER.
>> MAYBE YOU JUST GIVE IT TO US AT A DISCOUNTED RATE AND THEN IF WE GET THAT SPONSORSHIP FUND, WE CAN PAY FOR PART OF IT OR WHATEVER.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE COST, HOW MUCH YOU WOULD CHARGE FOR PEOPLE TO COME?
>> WE DON'T PAY ANYTHING [BACKGROUND]
>> YES. IS $10 ASKING TOO MUCH?
>> NO, I WAS SAYING 20 OR MORE.
IF WITHOUT PIZZA, WOULD IT BE $20 AND THAT INCLUDES A SLICE OF PIZZA OR WOULD YOU RATHER DO $10 AND THEN YOU CAN PAY $5 FOR A PIZZA? I FEEL LIKE THAT GETS MORE COMPLICATED BECAUSE WE HAVE TO EXCHANGE MONEY AT THE EVENT.
THOSE ARE THINGS JUST TO THINK ABOUT, AND WE CAN NAIL DOWN THE DETAILS.
IF WE MEET IN JANUARY, THAT GIVES US A MONTH TO ADVERTISE, IF WE'D NAIL DOWN ALL THE DETAILS ON JANUARY 22ND? [BACKGROUND] ABOUT THAT?
>> WE CAN SPEAK INDIVIDUALLY LIKE, EMILY IF YOU GET THE FIRST LOVE TO SAY THAT THEY WOULD DONATE PIZZA OR SOMETHING YOU CAN JUST TALK TO ME.
IF YOU GET MONEY FROM [BACKGROUND] YOU CAN TALK TO ME LIKE THAT, YOU JUST CAN'T TALK TO EVERYBODY ELSE.
>> HOW MUCH PIZZA? [BACKGROUND]
>> THAT IS A THING, I FEEL 30-100.
I FEEL LIKE 100 PEOPLE SHOULD BE OUR GOAL, AND THAT WOULD BE THE BALLPARK WE WOULD GIVE TO KEVIN.
BUT WE CAN ALSO SAY, ONCE WE MAKE THE SIGN-UP LIVE AND START SELLING TICKETS, YOU CAN SAY TO KEVIN, THAT GUY FROM FIRST LOVE, WE'LL TELL YOU A WEEK IN ADVANCE HOW MANY PEOPLE WE HAVE FOR SURE BECAUSE WE'LL FIGURE THAT OUT.
>> DID HE GIVE A QUOTE FOR HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST?
>> HE DIDN'T, BUT HE SAID HE'LL WORK WITH US.
MAKING ME THINK IT NOT GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE.
>> HOW MUCH? HE DID GIVE YOU A QUOTE?
>> NO. HE SAID THAT HE NEEDED TO KNOW THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND HE ASKED ME A FEW QUESTIONS WHICH I ANSWERED, BUT THEN HE SAID, DON'T WORRY ABOUT PRICE.
IT'S A CHARITY EVENT, SO WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO KEEP IT IN A PRICE RANGE THAT MAKES SENSE FOR YOU WE WANT TO SEE A WIN-WIN FOR EVERYONE.
I SAID I'LL WRITE BACK AFTER OUR MEETING TODAY TO TELL HIM, IF YOU GUYS WERE ON THE SAME PAGE AS FAR AS 100 PEOPLE GOING, AND IF YOU ALL HAD A THEME IN MIND.
>> PROBABLY NO THEME, PROBABLY MORE TAILORED TO A YOUNGER AGE.
>> THEN PRIZES AND THAT COULD COME FROM SPONSORSHIPS?
>> YES. WE HAVE A LOT OF IDEAS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A FINE.
I WILL TASK EVERYONE TO GET THREE SPONSORSHIPS OF MAYBE $100 OR MORE VALUE BY OUR SECOND MEETING IN FEBRUARY.
>> OR I SAY BY JANUARY BECAUSE IT'S IN A MONTH, YOU DO NOT THINK THAT'S MUCH?
>> ACTUALLY, LET'S DO IT BY THE NEXT MEETING.
EVERYONE, AT LEAST THREE SPONSORSHIPS.
THAT'S PROBABLY GOT TO BE IN OUR NOTES THAT WE SEND OUT IN THE E-MAILS AND MOST OF THEM ARE IN HERE.
BUT A MANDATORY AND ALL CAPS WOULD PROBABLY BE NECESSARY ON THAT TOO BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT MONEY.
THEN AT THE TRIVIA NIGHT, I THINK WE SHOULD ALSO HAVE, A DONATION JAR OR SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO DONATE MORE THAN.
IF WE'RE NOT JUST GOING TO DO HIGH SCHOOL KIDS.
>> LIKE THE GATORS DOC SIDE THING, IS THAT THE TRIVIA THIRTY ON THAT TOO?
>> NEXT TIME ANYONE GOES TO THAT.
I'D PROBABLY ASK TO GO ON THE MIC AND JUST ADVERTISE.
[00:15:03]
>> YOU GUYS GO TO THAT ALREADY?
>> NORMAL QUESTIONS THE ONES AT HIGH SCHOOL KIDS CAN ANSWER? [OVERLAPPING]
>> BUT THEN THERE'S SOME LIKE [OVERLAPPING].
>> BUT WHAT DO THEY WIN? [BACKGROUND].
>> [BACKGROUND] I'M PRETTY SURE, RIGHT?
WE'VE NEVER BEEN CLOSE TO WINNING. [LAUGHTER]
I KNOW YOU HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH CHEF GAS.
WOULD THAT NOT BE FUN FOR THE CULINARY STUDENTS TO DO FOOD OR IS THAT TOO MUCH?
>> I WISH MORE PEOPLE WERE HERE,
>> YES, I NEVER TOOK THE CLASS.
>> THAT WOULD BE COOL IF WE COULD GET THE SCHOOL TO SPONSOR.
>> I BET CLAY COULD ASK HIS DAD, HE IS THE COUNSELOR.
>> I'LL PUT THAT IN THE EMAIL THAT WE NEED SPONSORS AND FOOD.
>> CAN WE NOTE THE CHEF GAS THING, BECAUSE THAT'D BE COOL TO SAY, THAT ALL THE PIZZA WAS MADE BY FERNANDINA BEACH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS? [NOISE] BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT COULD BE DISCOUNTED, AS WELL.
>> OKAY. THEN THIS MONEY THAT WE GET FROM HERE WILL GO TOWARDS OTHER ACTIVITIES WE'RE DOING.
>> IT'LL BE IN YOUR OWN FUNDS, AND THEN YOU CAN USE IT.
>> WHAT ELSE? ANYTHING ELSE FOR TRIVIA NIGHT THAT WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW? I'LL ASK THE REC CENTER ABOUT USING A ROOM.
I'LL ASK WHAT PEOPLE DO TO MAKE IT DECORATIVE, LIKE TABLECLOTHS [BACKGROUND].
>> OLIVIA, DO YOU WANT TO WORK WITH ME ON DECORATIONS?
>> THEN EMMA, YOU'RE GOING TO DO FOOD, BUT MAYBE CLAY IS GOING TO DO FOOD.
EVERYONE'S GOING TO TRY TO GET THEIR OWN SPONSORSHIPS, RIGHT? JACOB, YOU CAN BE THE ADVERTISING CHAIR? [OVERLAPPING].
>> WE TALKED ABOUT, WE CAN'T HAVE AN INSTAGRAM, BUT WE ARE ALLOWED TO SEND YOU STUFF THAT YOU CAN POST ON THE FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM.
>> WE HAVE 14,000 FOLLOWERS ON FACEBOOK, NOT IMPORTANT.
>> WE COULD ALSO MAYBE CREATE A BIO FOR THE YOUTH ADVISORY CLUB ALSO, SAYING WE'RE SEEKING SPONSORS.
DO YOU GUYS HAVE WAYS THAT PEOPLE CAN SEND MONEY THROUGH A LINK ONTO THE FACEBOOK PAGE OR NOT?
>> WE HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT THAT WE HAVE NOW, THAT WAS USED FOR THE TREE CONSERVATION PLAN. [OVERLAPPING]
>> I SAW THAT. DID YOU GUYS EVER REACH THE GOAL? YOU DID?
>> BUT WE COULD PROBABLY MAKE IT SO THAT YOU CAN GET MONEY FROM THERE.
>> BECAUSE I FEEL THAT'S A GOOD WAY.
I'M SURE THERE'D BE SOME PEOPLE WILLING TO SPONSOR IT.
BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE AN EFFORTLESS WAY OF GETTING SOME DONATIONS.
>> ALSO, THE CITY [INAUDIBLE] FOR AN ADVERTISEMENT IN THE PAPER THAT I DO EVERY WEDNESDAY, SO I CAN DEDICATE ONE OF THOSE ADS TO THAT TOO.
>> THAT'LL BE SEPARATE FROM THE ARTICLE YOU'RE DOING, BUT IT'S JUST ONE OTHER WAY OUT.
>> I'LL EMAIL JULIA AND YOU TOMORROW AND THEN Y'ALL CAN FIGURE OUT WHEN TO GET TOGETHER, AND I CAN COME IT IF YOU WANT, OR I DON'T HAVE TO.
>> I'LL JUST MEET UP WITH HER AT A COFFEE SHOP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
[00:20:02]
I SEE THAT YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING.>> I'M TRYING TO THINK OF SOME STUFF THAT WE COULD DO LATER ON.
>> DO YOU HAVE TO PAY TO TRIBUTE [INAUDIBLE]? YOU JUST HAVE TO BUY FOOD?
>> WELL, BECAUSE THE LAST TIME WE HAD FRIENDS THAT ARE THANKSGIVING, SO WE'RE ALL FULL AND WE'RE LIKE, WE WANT TO GO PAY TRIBUTE.
THAT'S THE ONLY REASON [INAUDIBLE].
>> MAYBE IF [INAUDIBLE] SAYS NO ON THE FOOD, THEY'LL AT LEAST GET A GIFT CARD OR SOMETHING FOR ADVICE.
THAT'S ANOTHER THING I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT TOO, IS WHEN THEY SIGN UP, DO THEY HAVE TO SIGN IT UP AS A TEAM OR DO YOU BUY INDIVIDUAL TICKETS AND YOU COME IN AND JUST SIT DOWN WHEREVER? THAT THING. BUT I CAN ASK FOR ADVICE FROM THE TRIBUTE 3 PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY HAVE AN IDEA HOW THAT WORKS.
HOW BIG WAS THAT THAT THEY DID? YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? WAS THAT [INAUDIBLE] OF THE YEAR?
>> YEAH, WE CLOSED DOWN A PARKING LOT WHERE SHRUNK TROP USUALLY IS, AND THERE WERE THREE FANS, FOUR FANS?
AT THE BEGINNING, IT WAS JUST LIKE YOU SAID, WHERE IT WAS A BIG SPACE, AND IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WEREN'T A LOT OF PEOPLE.
BUT MOST PEOPLE JUST CAME LATER.
THEN BY THE NIGHTTIME, IT LOOKED FULL.
>> I'M NOT GOOD AT THAT. HUNDREDS? I'LL SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES.
>> THAT WAS ALL OUT OF POCKET?
>> NO. PARKS AND RECREATION PARTNERED WITH US.
THEY GAVE SOME MONEY, AND THEN YES, THEN THEY GOT DONATIONS FROM A LOT OF DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS.
>> WILL PARKS AND RECS BE OPEN DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN?
>> I THINK THAT'S PART OF THE BEAUTY OF US HAVING IT AT THE REC CENTER, IS THAT HOPEFULLY THEY CAN PARTNER WITH US ON THAT.
>> WELL, FOR THE TRIVIA, RIGHT?
>> RIGHT. BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT WOULD THEY BE OPEN TO DOING ANOTHER MUSIC FEST?
BUT ALSO SINCE THEN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS SAID THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO SOMETHING.
THEY ALL CAME TO IT, AND THEY DO SOMETHING CALLED SOMETHING NIGHT OUT, IT'S LIKE A NATIONWIDE THING WITH POLICE OFFICERS, AND THEY REALLY LIKED THE CONCERT.
THEY WERE LIKE, DO YOU THINK THAT WE COULD MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN AGAIN? IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY WANTED TO DO SOMETHING.
>> WHAT TIME OF THE YEAR WAS THAT LAST YEAR?
IT WAS THE END OF THE YEAR. IT WAS AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.
IT WAS LIKE THE END OF SUMMER, BASH OR WHATEVER.
>> THAT EVENT THAT ALL THE COPS GET TO GO OUT, DOES THAT ONLY HAPPEN THAT TIME OF YEAR, OR IS IT THAT THEY'RE OPEN TO CHANGING THAT?
>> THEY'RE OPEN TO CHANGING THAT.
>> FOR THE POLICE OFFICER? YES. THEY HAVE A PERSON.
TITLE IS [INAUDIBLE] SERVICE PERSON OR SOMETHING, AND THAT'S HER JOB.
I WAS DOING THAT STUFF SO I CAN ASK HER TO COME TO THE BOARD OR MEET WITH HER SEPARATELY.
>> I FEEL LIKE WE CAN GET MORE DONE IF I TALK TO HER ONE ON ONE.
>> I MEAN, I'LL BE OPEN TO MEETING WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE SO WE CAN GET SOMETHING ROLLING WITH THIS.
WE CAN TALK TO HER BECAUSE THAT'D PROBABLY BE NICE TO DO IN APRIL OR MAY.
DO YOU SEE THAT? [OVERLAPPING].
>> IT LOOKS REALLY FULL, RIGHT?
>> NO. THIS IS JUST IDEAS FOR OUR NEXT MEETING.
THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. HOW ARE YOU GUYS?
>> GOOD AFTERNOON. ARE Y'ALL IN?
>> THIS IS NOT OUR NORMAL MEETING TIME.
OUR LAST MEETING TIME FELL ON THANKSGIVING, AND THEN OUR NEXT MEETING TIME WAS GOING TO FALL ON ANOTHER HOLIDAY SO THIS IS IN BETWEEN.
APPARENTLY, THREE OF OUR MEMBERS ARE ON THE MUSICAL, CINDERELLA, AT THEIR HIGH SCHOOL.
BUT DO YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF?
>> OR IF YOU DON'T MIND, INTRODUCE SARAH?
[00:25:01]
>> YES. LAST TIME WE TALKED ABOUT SOME UPCOMING CHANGES, AND ONE OF THEM WAS THE TRANSITION TO THE NEW CITY MANAGER, AND HERE'S SHE IS. SARAH CAMPBELL.
>> MY NAME IS SARAH. NICE TO MEET YOU GUYS.
>> SHE COMES FROM ORANGE PARK.
>> YEAH. DOWN IN ORANGE PARK IN CLAY COUNTY, AND I WAS A CITY MANAGER DOWN THERE FOR SEVEN YEARS, BUT I WORKED FOR THE CITY FOR 16 YEARS.
I'VE BEEN IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT QUITE A WHILE.
GOT MY MASTER'S IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AT UNS.
I'VE GOT TWO KIDS THAT ARE OLDER THAN YOU.
THEY'RE IN THEIR 20S NOW, AND ONE GRANDSON.
NEVER HAD A YOUTH COUNSEL BEFORE, I'M EXCITED.
OUR MAIN YOUTH ENGAGEMENT WAS WITH SEVENTH GRADERS IN CIVIC EDUCATION.
I WOULD GO EITHER TO THEIR CLASSROOM OR THEY WOULD COME TO CITY HALL, WHERE WE'D DO THE CIVIC STAY. THAT WAS REALLY FUN.
WE DID A LOT OF ACTIVITIES WITH THEM.
EVEN HAD THE DEPARTMENTS' KIDS COME IN AND [INAUDIBLE] COUNCIL, JUST LIKE THAT.
>> WE'RE EXCITED TO WORK WITH YOU.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING ROLLING.
IF YOU'RE OPEN TO COMING TO SOME OF OUR MEETINGS, BECAUSE I LIKE THE IDEA OF GOING INTO THE COMMUNITY, TALKING TO PEOPLE, GETTING INVOLVED.
>> THE YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL IS ALWAYS THE LAST GROUP, BUT THEY PUT ON A REALLY SUCCESSFUL CONCERT.
>> YES. OUR GROUP LAST YEAR, ALL PRETTY MUCH GRADUATED.
SO THESE YOUTH HAVE BEEN WITH US FOR JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO, AND AT OUR LAST MEETING, EVERYBODY CAME WITH IDEAS, AND WE VOTED ON DOING TRIVIA NIGHT.
WE'RE GOING TO START BY DOING A FUND RAISER TO GET SOME MONEY SO [INAUDIBLE].
>> BUT THE OTHER FOUR DIDN'T, SO THEY WERE ASKING HOW MANY PEOPLE [INAUDIBLE].
>> YEAH, IT WAS A REALLY GOOD TURNOUT.
>> I WAS TELLING YOU AT THE BEGINNING, REMEMBER, WHEN IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE AND WE WERE IN THE BIG HUGE PARKING LOT, I WAS LIKE, GOSH, IS THIS GOING TO FAIL BECAUSE THE FIRST BAND STARTED PLAYING AND THERE WEREN'T THAT MANY PEOPLE.
BUT AT THE END OF IT, IT GOT REALLY CROWDED.
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS SO IMPRESSED THAT THEY REACH OUT TO US ABOUT DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR.
JACOB AND TINA SMITH, I'M GOING TO CONNECT TINA OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER ABOUT SPONSORING ANOTHER EVENT.
BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO ENGAGE YOU AS WELL.
>> WAS SILENT DISCO ON YOUR LIST ANYWHERE IN THE LIST OF IDEAS? ANYBODY EVER DONE SILENT DISCO? DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS?
IT'S LIKE YOU ALL HAVE HEADPHONES ON AND LISTEN TO MUSIC AND YOU'RE DANCING?
>> YEAH. THERE'S A DJ THOUGH, AND THE DJ WILL RUN THREE DIFFERENT CHANNELS AT THE SAME TIME.
YOUR HEADPHONES ARE EITHER LIT UP RED, GREEN, OR BLUE, AND YOU CAN TAP IT AND CHANGE IT TO THE NEXT STATION.
BUT YOU FIND PEOPLE, HERE'S ALL THE RED PEOPLE, THEY'RE DANCING OVER HERE, AND HERE'S ALL THE BLUE PEOPLE, THEY'RE DANCING OVER HERE, AND HERE'S ALL THE GREEN PEOPLE.
YOU CAN JUST CHANGE YOUR CHANNEL AND GO DANCE WITH A DIFFERENT GROUP IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT SONG, AND THEN SOMETIMES THE DJ CAN TAKE REQUESTS FOR MONEY.
YOU PAY THE DJ 10 BUCKS, AND THEN THEY'LL PUT YOUR SONG INTO THE SHUFFLE OR WHATEVER.
IT'S FUN. I'VE DONE IT A FEW TIMES IN JACKSONVILLE WITH MY KIDS.
THERE'S A BAR THAT WILL DO IT, BUT NOW THEY'VE STARTED DOING AT JAX BEACH PIER.
IT'S COOL AT NIGHT BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S ALL LIT UP.
BUT IF YOU'RE AN OBSERVER, YOU DON'T HEAR ANYTHING.
IF YOU'RE JUST WALKING BY, YOU JUST SEE PEOPLE DANCING SILENTLY TO THEIR OWN.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE THIS VIBE, THESE PEOPLE HAVE THIS VIBE, WHAT'S HAPPENING? [INAUDIBLE].
[4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES]
>> WE CAN GO BACK AND VOTE ON THE MINUTES.
>> BACK TO OUR SECTION 4 APPROVAL MINUTES WHICH IS?
>> RIGHT HERE. THE MINUTES FROM OCTOBER 23RD.
SOME OF THE MINUTES HAVE THE MOTION TO APPROVE THEM.
>> IS IT FINE THAT MY COMPUTER ISN'T LOGGED IN?
>> [INAUDIBLE] JUST TO LOG IN WATCH THE AGENDA THAT I HAVE.
>> ARE THE MINUTES FROM LAST WEEK? WHAT IS THE MINUTES?
>> THE MINUTES FROM LAST MEETING, FROM OCTOBER 23RD.
THEY WERE ATTACHED TO THAT EMAIL, IF YOU GOT THAT.
>> DO YOU WANT ME TO PULL THEM UP?
[00:30:02]
>> GREAT JOB ON THE MINUTES LAST MEETING.
WELL, WE HAD A SECOND AND MOTION, SO APPROVED.
>> WHAT YOU MISSED IS RETENTIVELY TALKING ABOUT HAVING TRIVIA NIGHT ON FEBRUARY 20TH FRIDAY.
EVERYBODY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TRYING TO GET US SPONSORSHIPS OF $100 OR MORE, AND THAT MONEY WOULD GO TO PAY FOR FOOD, PRIZES, THAT STUFF.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET THREE BY NEXT WEEK.
>> NEXT MONTH. FOR THINGS LIKE THAT, ARE WE ALLOWED TO HAVE A GROUP CHAT WHERE I'M REMINDING PEOPLE OR NO?
>> NO. YOU CAN SAY REMINDER WE HAVE A MEETING OR DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE TRIVIA NIGHT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
YOU CAN SAY THAT STUFF, BUT YOU CAN'T SAY, HEY, I WENT AND TALKED TO FANTASTIC BUDGE TODAY OR WHATEVER.
YOU CAN'T TALK DETAILS ABOUT IT, BUT YOU CAN SAY VAGUE THINGS ABOUT, DON'T FORGET WHAT YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF FOR TRIVIA NIGHT, THAT THING.
>> WELL, THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
EVERYONE NEEDS AT LEAST THREE SPONSORSHIPS BY NEXT MEETING, WHICH IS JANUARY 27TH?
>> THEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IF ANYBODY HAD ANY CONNECTIONS WITH FOOD VENDORS, AND I WAS GOING TO TALK TO FIRST LOVE, AND THEN I'M GOING TO ASK, CLAIRE, IF YOU CAN TALK TO CHEF GAS.
>> ANYTHING ELSE I'M MISSING? THEN I'M GOING TO CONNECT JACOB WITH JULIA ROBERTS FROM THE NEWS LEADER, AND I'M GOING TO CONNECT YOU WITH TINA SMITH FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
>> SOUNDS GOOD. THEN I'M GOING TO BE TALKING TO DR. CRAWFORD AND SEE IF WE CAN GO OVER, MAYBE TALK TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS, DO SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, SEE WHAT SHE'S OPEN TO.
WE GOT TO START DOING SOMETHING.
>> [INAUDIBLE]. THANK YOU [INAUDIBLE].
[8. COMMITTEE MEMBER REPORTS/COMMENTS]
>> ANY COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD?
>> SO ANOTHER THING WE DISCUSSED BEFORE YOU GOT HERE IS ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS MENTIONED CHANGING OUR RULES SO THAT ANYBODY WHO GOES TO FERNANDINA BEACH HIGH SCHOOL COULD BE ON THE ADVISORY COUNCIL REGARDLESS OF IF YOU LIVED IN THE CITY LIMITS OR NOT.
>> YEAH, I THINK WE SHOULD OPEN THAT.
>> I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T ABLE TO DO IT THIS YEAR BECAUSE THEY MOVED.
>> DO YOU WANT ME TO ASK THE CLERK ABOUT PUTTING THIS ON THE AGENDA FOR THE CITY COMMISSION?
HOPEFULLY THE COMMISSION APPROVES THIS FOR US BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO EXCLUDE ANY GROUPS FROM JOINING THIS.
>> THE REASON WHY THEY DO THAT FOR THE OTHER BOARDS AND COMMITTEES IS BECAUSE THEY'RE PAYING TAXES.
BUT FOR YOU, YOU'RE NOT PAYING TAXES ANYWAY, SO I UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT. BUT I'LL BRING IT UP.
>> BUT MAYBE THAT SHOULD BE A NOTE, THE FACT THAT THE YOUTH ISN'T DOING TAXES BECAUSE IF NONE OF US ARE GOING TO BE THERE TO DEFEND THAT WE'LL HAVE A NOTE BY IT.
[9. NEXT MEETING DATE]
OUR NEXT MEETING DATE, JANUARY 22ND, HOPEFULLY,[00:35:02]
WE'LL HAVE A BETTER ATTENDANCE.WE NEED TO MAKE THIS A BIGGER PRIORITY.
WE SET THESE DATES AHEAD OF TIME MONTHS IN ADVANCE.
IF YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN EVENT, MOVE IT OUT THE WAY.
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE EVERYONE.
ANY LAST COMMENTS? THE MEETING'S ADJOURNED.
>> THANK YOU.
