HAS ZADIE COME ON TWO ABSENCES THIS YEAR? I THINK THIS MIGHT... BE... I'LL CHECK.
OKAY. SO TAKE SOME TIME TO LOOK AT LAST MONTH'S MINUTES. AND THEN WE DON'T HAVE A QUORUM, SO CAN WE EVEN VOTE TO APPROVE THE MINUTES? NO.
OKAY, SO WE'LL APPROVE THESE MINUTES NEXT MONTH, HOPEFULLY.
OKAY, SO NEVER MIND. YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT THE MINUTES.

YEAH, WE DID. YOU CAN SEE IT ON YOUR END? YES. I GOT INTRIGUED BY IT. NO, NO, IT JUST SAYS, ON THE RIGHT, IT JUST SAYS, ASK A QUESTION.
WE DID INCORPORATE, IT WAS A FREE FEATURE, AND WE'RE TESTING IT OUT TO SEE IF WE LIKE IT. POSITIVE REVIEWS FROM US. OKAY.
ALRIGHT, SO... WE'LL NOTE THAT IN A MINUTE. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA. SO AS SOON AS ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO...
THEY'RE HERE FOR THE EGG HUNT. OKAY, SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME UP, SIR? JOE IS HERE FOR THE PIRATE NAMING COMPETITION.
OKAY, SO WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT LATER. OKAY, SO I GUESS WE CAN SKIP THAT PART.

LET'S SEE. DO YOU KNOW IF CLAY HAS SENT THIS OUT TO THE HIGH SCHOOL? I DO NOT THINK SO. YOU WOULD THINK THAT IT WOULD BE RATHER EASY. HE'S PRETTY CLOSE TO THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR. HIS DAD IS THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR.
AND THEN I DON'T THINK OLIVIA, WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT OLIVIA HAS DONE, IF SHE HAS DONE. I SENT HIM THE UPDATED FORM AND OLIVIA WROTE ME A COUPLE TIMES TO ASK FOR IT, AND I JUST KEPT FORGETTING TO ASK ZACH FOR THE UPDATED ONE. ZERO RESPONSES. OKAY, GREAT. OKAY, IS IT OKAY IF I POST IT ON THE CITY'S SOCIAL MEDIA? YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT. WE JUST SAY IT'S OPEN 6TH TO 12TH GRADE ONLY? OKAY. I COULD PUT IT IN NEXT WEEK'S NEWSPAPER.
YEAH. SHOULD I DO THAT? I'LL DO THAT. OKAY. ALSO. BLESS YOU.

YEAH. SO I DON'T, WE CAN READ THE MINUTES LATER.
[00:05:06]

WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE COULD DO? 4 15? WOULD YOU RATHER, NOT 4 15? NO, I JUST SAW THAT IN MY CALENDAR. AT 4 15, I MIGHT JUST PUT IT IN THERE, WRONG? YEAH, COULD WE DO 4 15? OF COURSE, JUST SO IT GIVES US AN EXTRA HOUR, HOPEFULLY. AND WE'LL BE UPSTAIRS.
BACKROOM, OKAY. ALRIGHT. AND JOE, IF YOU WANT TO COME TO THAT, THAT'S WHEN WE'RE VOTING ON WHO WINS OF ALL THE SUBMISSIONS. MARCH 11, 415 UPSTAIRS. OKAY.
[6.2 Waterfront Park Grand Opening.]
TO MOVE ON TO THE WATERFRONT PARK GRAND OPENING, WHICH I'M GUESSING, MISS MARY, YOU HAVE SOME... YES. APRIL 11TH. APRIL 11TH, OKAY. APRIL 11TH. IT'S A SATURDAY. AND I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR YOU GUYS. SO WE BOOKED THE HONEY BADGERS. T-MOBILE IS GIVING US $500. AND THEN THEY ARE ALSO GOING TO COME WITH A TENT AND DO GIVEAWAYS AND STUFF. OOH, T-MOBILE IS? OKAY. OKAY, SO WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT IN A MEETING RECENTLY, THE CITY MANAGER SAID, AND WE'LL HAVE FOOD TRUCKS, AND I WAS LIKE, OH, I DON'T KNOW.SHOULD WE? DO YOU GUYS WANT TO HAVE FOOD TRUCKS? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? THERE'S NO TIME. I THINK WHEN I WROTE TO HUPP, I GAVE HIM A BALLPARK TIME. LET ME SEE. I TOLD HIM TO RESERVE TWO TO FOUR. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED FOOD.
DO YOU, OR MAYBE WE DO, LIKE A KONA ICE OR SOMETHING? OR I WOULD NOT, LET'S. SO ONE THING THAT PEOPLE WERE SAYING LAST YEAR IS LIKE, WHY ARE YOU GUYS DOING THIS? AND WHAT WE WERE JUST SAYING, LIKE, FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMMUNITY. SO I THINK THAT WE ARE DOING THE SAME THING ONCE AGAIN. BUT I THINK WE SHOULD PROBABLY TRY TO DO AN OPPORTUNITY OF, LIKE US, MAKING MONEY OURSELVES, EVEN IF IT'S LIKE SELLING SNACKS. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW. JUST ON THE SIDE, WE DON'T NEED FOOD TRUCKS OVER THERE BECAUSE IT'S MORE FOCUSED. I MEAN, THE FOOD TRUCKS WAS KIND OF LIKE, ALSO AN ADDITIONAL SELLING POINT FOR US TO GET PEOPLE OVER THERE, BUT THIS IS MORE FOCUSED ON THE GRAND OPENING OF THE PARK AND, LIKE, WHAT GRAND OPENING OF THE PARK, THE STATUE, SO, IF YOU GUYS DON'T AGREE. I AGREE.
I AGREE, YEAH. WHAT TIME, LIKE THAT DAY, DO WE HAVE THIS OPENING? TWO TO FOUR. TWO TO FOUR. OKAY, SO THAT'S NOT REALLY LIKE A MEAL TIME, NECESSARILY.
AGREED, YEAH. SO I THINK SNACKS COULD BE BETTER. OKAY, SO WHAT, DO YOU WANT TO DO WHAT YOU WERE ORIGINALLY GOING TO DO FOR THE FIELD DAY? AND BUY A BUNCH OF STUFF AND THEN SELL IT? OR WHAT? WHO WANTS TO TAKE THAT ON? SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE IN CHARGE. I CAN TAKE THAT ON. I CAN ALSO GO BUY ALL THE STUFF. I REMEMBER CLAY KIND OF DID THE MATH FOR THE FUTURE. HE SURE DID.
YEAH, SO I WAS WONDERING IF MAYBE WE COULD REUSE THAT IN A SENSE OR GET THAT FROM HIM. BECAUSE I KNOW HE DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON WHAT TO BUY AND HOW MUCH PROFIT.
ARE WE ABLE TO ADD THAT TO OUR WORKSHOP? CAN WE ADD WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO FOR FOOD-WISE AT THE WATERFRONT PARK? YES, AND I HAVE HIS THING, IF I CAN GET IT OVER THERE.
OH, THERE IT IS. THIS IS WHAT HE CAME UP WITH. GOLDFISH, JESUS, FRUIT SNACKS, GATORADE, POWERADE, UNCRUSTABLES. I MEAN, KEEP IN MIND, WHEN HE DID THIS, IT WAS FOR, LIKE... KIDS.
WHICH, I MEAN, I'M SURE YOU'LL HAVE CHILDREN, TOO, BUT YOU COULD PROBABLY UP THE ANTE A LITTLE BIT.
BUT THAT'S GOOD. THIS IS DEFINITELY A GOOD START.
EARLIER, KNOWING THAT WE ALREADY HAVE OUR DATE. OKAY, I'LL FORWARD THIS TO YOU TOO, JACOB AND STEVEN. YEAH. OKAY, SO WHAT LINKS ARE THOSE? IS
[00:10:01]
THAT AMAZON? OR, LIKE, WHERE IS IT? THE VIRUS. I DID THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A SECOND. WALMART. OH, YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE THIS, WE HAVE A SAM'S CLUB CARD. A 3D BOX. DO EITHER OF YOU HAVE, DO YOUR PARENTS HAVE MEMBERSHIPS TO LIKE COSTCO'S OR ANYTHING? NO. WELL, THESE GIRLS CAN DO THAT. IF YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM THE LIST, THEY CAN BUY IT FOR YOU.OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD. OKAY, SO I'M JUST GOING TO PUT. YSC WANTS TO SELL SNACKS AS A FUNDRAISER? YES. OKAY. SO DO WE NEED TO LOOK FOR A BAND NOW? NO, WE BOOKED HONEY BADGERS. JUST HONEY BADGERS? YES, WE'RE ONLY GOING TO DO ONE BAND. I DON'T THINK THAT'S FINE YET. HOW LONG ARE THEY WILLING TO PERFORM FOR? I JUST SAID, CAN YOU PENCIL US IN FROM TWO TO FOUR, AND HE SAID, YES.
OKAY. OH, SO THEY'RE GOING TO PLAY FOR TWO HOURS? NO, LIKE AROUND THAT. YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK THEY'LL PROBABLY, BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE TIME TO, YOU KNOW, THANK TIMO FOR THE PLAYGROUND. YEAH, SO WE'LL MAKE UP A LITTLE SCHEDULE. MAYBE WE'LL HAVE HONEY BADGERS. GO FROM LIKE 2 TO 2.30, AND THEN WE DO OUR PRESENTATION, AND THEN THEY COME BACK, AND WE CAN HAVE A DJ OR WHATEVER.
YEAH. WE'LL FIGURE THAT PART OUT. WE'LL BE IN CHARGE OF THE AGENDA, UNLESS YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU LIKE. I MEAN, I'LL BRING THE AGENDA TO THE WORKSHOP, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY REAL STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT SOMETHING. BUT I'M GOING TO PUT YOU ALL. YOU ALL WILL BE THE ONES WHO TALK ABOUT THE STATUE, IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU, JOE. I MEAN, YOU'LL BE THERE TOO, OBVIOUSLY, BUT YOU ALL WILL ANNOUNCE THE WINNER, AND THEN THE PIRATES WILL BE THERE TO, YOU KNOW, UNVEIL IT AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. ALL RIGHT.
BUT JUST BE PREPARED TO SPEAK. AND WE CAN WEAR OUR SEE-THROUGH SHIRTS. DO YOU STILL HAVE THEM? OKAY. YEAH. I WOULDN'T THROW IT AWAY.
BECAUSE THEY WERE VERY SEE-THROUGH. A LITTLE SILLY.
OKAY. UM, WELL, SPEAK. I SAID, WHAT IS THE CONTEST? THE DOCUMENT IS FOR THE YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE. WHAT? THE AI IS KIND OF DUMB. OH. ARE YOU TAKING BACK YOUR FEEDBACK? I TRIED TO, I TRIED TO JUST SAY, WHAT IS THE CONTEST? TO SEE IF IT WOULD SAY THE PIRATE NAMING CONTEST. AND IT RESPONDED WITH, THE DOCUMENT IS FOR THE YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE REGULAR MEETING AGENDA. AGENDA WILL BE FOR THE WORKSHOP IS PIRATE CONTEST AND WATERFRONT PARK OPENING. OKAY. OKAY. WE'RE GOOD ON THAT SECTION. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON
[6.3 Parks and Recreation Easter Egg Hunt.]
TO PARKS AND RECREATION.EASTER EGG HUNT. CASSIE, DID YOU HAVE AN IDEA FOR US? BYE.
BYE, JOE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
GO STAND. GOOD PRACTICE. OKAY.
I'M CASSIE. I'M RECREATION COORDINATOR WITH PARKS AND REC. SAMANTHA, ALSO RECREATION COORDINATOR, BUT FOR YOUTH. SO WE KNOW THAT KATIE PRESENTED LAST TIME. THAT YOU GUYS COULD COME TO OUR EASTER EVENT AND KIND OF HAVE A WAY TO RAISE MONEY SINCE YOU GUYS AREN'T DOING THE FIELD DAY. WE HAD AN IDEA FOR YOU GUYS. THE YOUTH HAS A SNOW CONE MACHINE. WE HAVE ALL THE SUPPLIES FOR IT, CUPS, SPOONS, SYRUPS, EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. THE MACHINE ITSELF, WE COULD BRING TO THE EVENT FOR YOU GUYS TO SET UP, AND YOU GUYS CAN MAKE POSTERS, BRING TABLECLOTHS. THE THING YOU WILL NEED TO PROVIDE IS COOLERS FOR ICE, BUT IF YOU WANTED TO RUN THAT BOOTH, MAKE ALL THE SNOW CONES, ALL THE PROCEEDS WOULD GO TO YOU GUYS FOR YAC. SO YOU CAN CHARGE LIKE $1 OR $2 PER SNOW CONE AND SELL SNOW CONES THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE EVENT. I WILL SAY, LAST YEAR, EVEN THOUGH THE EVENT STARTED AT 11, PEOPLE KIND OF START COMING AROUND 9, 30, 10 O'CLOCK. SO YOU HAVE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO, LIKE, GET SNOW CONES SOLD BEFORE AND DURING AND AFTER THE ACTUAL EGG HUNT.
PLUS THE FAMILIES THAT ARE ALREADY AT CENTRAL PARK, TOO, BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL GO THERE FIRST TO KIND OF HANG OUT AND THEN ATTEND. AND THEN AFTERWARDS TOO, LIKE WHILE WE'RE, IF THERE'S LIKE A LINE KIND OF FORMING TOWARDS THE END, FEEL FREE TO STAY UNTIL WE'RE DONE. ALL RIGHT.
YEAH, I LIKE THAT IDEA. I FEEL LIKE THAT'S... WE HAVE ALREADY... WE SECURED A FOOD TRUCK TO DO COTTON CANDY, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A BEVERAGE VENDOR, SO WE'RE THINKING YOU GUYS COULD COME IN AND PROBABLY DO PRETTY WELL THERE. YOU COULD DO SNOW CONES AND BOTTLED WATER, MAYBE. YEAH. IT'S THE 21ST? YES. AND WHAT ARE THE HOURS? IT STARTS OFFICIALLY AT 11 O'CLOCK, BUT LAST YEAR WE DID HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE ATTENDING, KIND OF FORMING IN THEIR AREAS AN HOUR AHEAD OF TIME. AND WHEN DOES IT END? THAT'S KIND OF FLEXIBLE. LAST YEAR, I WOULD SAY IT PROBABLY ENDED AROUND 1230. LIKE, IT REALLY
[00:15:01]
WASN'T A LONG EVENT. BUT, YEAH, BECAUSE, I MEAN, THE BASICS OF IT IS THAT WE DO DIFFERENT KIDS, LIKE, AGE GROUPS AT DIFFERENT TIMES. WE DO STAGGERED START TIMES FOR THE EGG HUNT, AND THEY JUST GATHER THE EGGS, GIVE THEM BACK, GET A GOODIE BAG, AND THEN THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY. SO SHOULD I SAY Y'ALL ARRIVE AT 10? I WOULD SAY 930. YEAH.AND YOU HAVE EVERYTHING, ALL THEY NEED TO BRING ARE COOLERS? YEAH, SO THEN IT MIGHT BE BENEFICIAL.
AND THEN, IF YOU WANT, WATERS. SO WE CAN UTILIZE THE MLK FACILITY FOR ICE IF WE NEED TO REPLENISH. SO JUST HAVING SOMEONE THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO GO BACK AND FORTH. BUT THE MORE COOLERS YOU GUYS HAVE. I THINK WE HAVE ONE COOLER, AND LUCINDA WAS SAYING THAT ONE COOLER OF ICE IS ENOUGH SNOW CONES FOR ABOUT 30 TO 40 KIDS. SO I WOULD... SAY, IF EVERYONE BROUGHT THEIR OWN COOLER, YOU GUYS COULD GET THROUGH A GOOD AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WITHOUT HAVING TO REFILL THEM. MAYBE ONCE, BUT YEAH. YOU KNOW, THE GOLF COURSE ALSO HAS COOLERS. DO YOU GUYS HAVE A TENT FOR THEM TO USE? WE HAVE TWO TENTS IN OUR POSSESSION, WHICH WE DID, I BELIEVE, USE BOTH LAST YEAR.
BUT I DON'T THINK WE NEED ONE.
WE'LL USE ONE, FOR SURE, FOR THE GOODIE BAGS. BECAUSE THERE'S FRUIT SNACKS IN THEM SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE, LIKE THE DIRECT SUN.
BUT I DON'T THINK WE NEED THEM FOR THE EGG RETURN LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR. OKAY, WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT PUTTING THEM IN THE GAZEBO, UM, BECAUSE IT HAS POWER FOR THIS. OH, GREAT IDEA. OKAY, SMART. ARE YOU GUYS HAPPY WITH THIS IDEA? YEAH, NOW JUST BE SOMETHING TOO, WHERE YOU JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU MAKE YOUR OWN SIGNAGE FOR THAT. PUT FUNDRAISING ON THERE, WHO YOU GUYS ARE, HOW MUCH? AND PROBABLY A SIGN FOR FLAVORS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT WAY. AND THAT'S SOMETHING YOU PUT ON THE SIDE OF THE GAZEBO TOO, WHILE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FORM A LINE. YEAH, I CAN SEND OUT ALL THE DIFFERENT FLAVOR OPTIONS WE HAVE TO MARY. YEAH. OKAY, I'LL ASK EMMA. OH, ACTUALLY, YOU'RE THE GRAPHIC GUY. YEAH, I CAN DO THAT. OKAY, WILL YOU DO IT? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. ZACH WILL MAKE SIGN. AND IF YOU NEED TO PRINT IT OR SOMETHING.
BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE IT BIG. GO TO, LIKE, WALGREENS. THE LARGEST WE HAVE IS, LIKE, 11 BY 17. AND THEN IF Y'ALL WANT ME, DO Y'ALL, LIKE, WHEN YOU HEAR COOLERS, DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE COOLERS? I HAVE ONE. I HAVE A COOLER. OKAY.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. I ADDED THIS TO THE WORKSHOP BECAUSE MARCH 11TH IS OUR MEETING AND THIS IS THE 21ST. SO IF WE NEED TO GET THE GOLF COURSE COOLERS.
BUT WHAT WILL THEY, LIKE, DO THEY NEED TO BRING THE COOLERS TO THE REC CENTER AND FILL THEM UP WITH ICE? I THINK GOING TO EITHER MLK OR THE REC CENTER. FIRST, FILL ALL THE COOLERS WITH ICE, AND IT SHOULD LAST AS LONG AS WE KEEP THE COOLER.
SEALED UNTIL YOU NEED THAT SPECIFIC ONE. WE HAVE PARK STAFF WORKING THE EVENT, RIGHT? YOU SHOULD. SO THEY'LL HAVE A PICKUP TRUCK AND WE CAN HAVE THEM MEET EVERYONE AT CENTRAL PARK, LOAD ALL THE COOLERS IN THE BACK, THEY'LL GO FILL IT UP AND BRING IT BACK.
BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN DRIVE CITY CARS. WE DO. WE WILL GET THERE AROUND LIKE 8 A.M, PROBABLY TO THE REC CENTER. WE DO A FEW TRIPS BACK AND FORTH TO SET EVERYTHING UP AND THEN AROUND 9 30 WHEN WE GET THERE AND WE STAY AT THE PARK. AS PEOPLE START GETTING THERE.
AND WE WILL HAVE A SPEAKER TOO, SO I'LL UTILIZE THAT TIME TO KIND OF SHOUT YOU GUYS OUT AND TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY CAN COME OVER TO YOU GUYS FOR THAT STUFF TOO. OKAY.
SOUNDS GOOD. GREAT. YEAH. IF THERE'S ANYTHING SPECIAL YOU GUYS WANT US TO SAY TOO, OR YOU WANT ME TO SAY OVER THE SPEAKER, I CAN DO THAT. YOU JUST HAVE TO LET ME KNOW. NEXT CITY EVENT COMING UP IS GOING TO BE THE WATER PROJECT IN SOCHI. I CAN'T WAIT ANOTHER CHANCE TO HELP SUPPORT OUR YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE, TOO. MOM, TAKE ME TO THE CITY EVENT. AND IF IT GOES WELL, THEN YOU COULD POTENTIALLY DO SNOW CONES AGAIN AT THE WATERFRONT. THEY'LL HAVE TO PAY. THAT'S SOMETHING TOO, MAYBE GETTING A LITTLE AHEAD OF THINGS, BUT FOR FALL FESTIVAL GOING FORWARD TOO. WE DID THAT LAST YEAR AND THAT WAS A GOOD TURNOUT. MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING, IF IT GOES WELL THIS TIME, WE CAN DO AGAIN. YOU WERE THERE. THEY WON'T BE HERE.
NONE OF THESE KIDS WILL BE BACK.
NONE OF US WILL BE THERE. OH, WELL. YOU TRICKLE DOWN TO THE NEXT GROUP. OLIVIA, THAT'S IT. OLIVIA. I MEAN, SHE COULD POTENTIALLY BE ON HERE FOR WHAT? OLIVIA AND LULU. RIGHT, LULU? WELL, YEAH, LULU. YEAH, YEAH. OKAY, THANK YOU, GIRLS. THAT'S A REALLY NICE IDEA. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
THANKS FOR COMING. I LOST MY AGENDA. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S NEXT. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE COALITION FOR
[7.1 Coalition for Community Health speaking engagement.]
COMMUNITY HEALTH SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT. YES. I SENT EVERYBODY AN EMAIL ABOUT THAT. JACOB'S THE ONLY ONE WHO RESPONDED. DOES ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO DO IT? WHEN DID I GET THIS EMAIL? IT WENT TO MY JUNK WHEN I FOUND IT IN THERE. OH. THIS GENTLEMAN, IT'S ACTUALLY ATTACHED TO THE... OH, I DO REMEMBER GETTING THIS. I JUST DIDN'T RESPOND. I'M SORRY,[00:20:01]
I'M JUST BEING HONEST. IT WAS FROM THAT SAME MAN, THAT STORY AND SONG, MARK HOFFMAN. DID HE WRITE YOU BACK, JACOB? I DON'T THINK SO. I DON'T KNOW. IT'S TOTALLY UP TO YOU. ON THURSDAY, MAY 14TH AT 5PM, THE NASSAU COALITION FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IS PRESENTING SCREENAGERS UNDER THE INFLUENCE. MAY 14TH, WAIT.YEAH, ARE YOU GOING TO EVEN BE HERE? WELL, YEAH, WAIT, MAY 14TH? YEAH, WE'LL SEE. ADDRESSING VAPING, DRUGS, AND ALCOHOL IN THE DIGITAL AGE. AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A DOCUMENTARY AND A DISCUSSION, AND THEY WOULD LIKE YOU ALL TO COME AND SPEAK. GLADLY.
AND JACOB SAID, YES. WE'RE ALL COMING. THERE'S NO BACKING OUT.
I'M INTERESTED. THIS COULD BE SOMETHING GOOD FOR OUR GROUP.
WHAT A LEADER. YEAH, I MEAN, I'M HERE, SO. WHAT DAY IS IT? THE 14TH? UM, OKAY, SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT. WE HAVE TIME TO TALK ABOUT THIS. I MEAN, SINCE ONE PERSON SAID, YES, I THINK YOU'RE ON THE CALENDAR NOW, SO, UM, STORY. I'LL JUST PUT THIS IN THE MINUTES SO THE OTHER KIDS KNOW ABOUT IT AND WHOEVER WANTS TO DO IT. I DON'T KNOW, LIKE, IF YOU HAVE TO PREPARE A POWERPOINT OR IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO BE SHOOTING FROM THE HIP. WE'RE JUST THERE FOR A THOUGHT. HOPEFULLY HE ANSWERS YOU AND TELLS YOU.
WHAT IF IT'S JUST LIKE CONFRONTATION? WHAT IF THEY'RE JUST LIKE, WHO VAPES AND... LIKE, WE'VE HEARD ABOUT YOU GUYS. YOU KNOW, NOWADAYS, THE DARE IS ALL ABOUT VAPING. THAT'S LIKE THEIR FOCUS. YEAH, BECAUSE WHENEVER WE WERE KIDS, IT WAS ALL ABOUT HARD DRUGS.
DRUGS WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT UNTIL THEY TAUGHT THEM TO US. YEAH, I KNOW. LIKE, THEY'D BE SHOWING US LIKE PICTURES AND STUFF OF IT. AND IT'S JUST LIKE...
WE USED TO DO METH IN THE BATHROOM. YEAH, THEY HAD IT WAY BACK THEN. IT'S ON THE RECORD, JACOB. OKAY.
JACOB WALTER RUNS A PUBLIC OFFICE. YOU KNOW, 15 YEARS AGO, HE SAID HE DID METH AS A CHILD.
OKAY, DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS? NO. I'M EXCITED. I MIGHT EVEN MAKE A POWERPOINT. HE SAID THAT HE THINKS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE A GREAT DEAL TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS DISCUSSION. I'M GOING TO RAT OUT ALL MY FRIENDS.
OKAY, YOU SHOULD HAVE A LIKE A LIST OF ALL THE OFFENDERS. WHO DOES IT IN THE SCHOOL BATHROOM? UM, DO PEOPLE DO IT IN THE SCHOOL BATHROOM? YEAH, BUT YOU GET CAUGHT BECAUSE THEY HAVE, LIKE, THE VAPE DETECTORS, WHAT? WHAT'S THAT? IT'S A DETECTOR THAT AN ALARM GOES OFF, RIGHT? WELL, IT'S LIKE NOT AN ALARM, BUT LIKE THE LIKE NOTIFIES, IT GOES TO, LIKE, THE DEAN OR WHATEVER. AND THEY CAN JUST SEE WHO JUST WALKED, WHO WALKED INTO THE BATHROOM OR WHO WALKED OUT WITH THE CAMERA. THAT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN THEY TOLD YOU AS A KID IF YOU PEED IN THE POOL, IT TURNED PURPLE.
IT'S LIKE A SMOKE DETECTOR, BUT IT TELLS THAT. BECAUSE THEY COME RIGHT TO THE CLASS AND THEY'LL TAKE THE KID. NO, AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE KID? THEY NEVER COME BACK. THEY'LL, LIKE, PAT THEM AT ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL. NO, THEY, LIKE, SEARCH THEM FOR THE VAPE, AND THEN, WELL, ONCE THEY FIND IT, THEN THERE'S REPERCUSSIONS.
BASICALLY, THEY GET TWO DAYS AT HOME TO JUST HIT IT. YEAH.
TO JUST HIT IT. OH, MAN, I'M GOING TO MISS YOU GUYS.
OKAY, ANYTHING ELSE? SHORT MEETING TODAY. THAT HAPPENS WHEN WE HAVE THREE PEOPLE.
WHERE I'M GOING TO PUT, OKAY, SO THIS IS THE NOTES THAT I'VE TAKEN SO FAR. AM I FORGETTING ANYTHING? OKAY, PIRATE NAMING COMPETITION. I'LL MAKE THIS BE A LINK. WILL ONE OF YOU COME ON MARCH 11TH? THANK YOU. WHY CAN'T I DO THAT? DO YOU GUYS WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING
[8. COMMITTEE MEMBER REPORTS/COMMENTS]
ABOUT ANYTHING? DO YOU WANT ME TO SHOW YOU THE PAID PARKING NUMBERS FROM YESTERDAY? YES.YES. OKAY. EVERY SINGLE DAY THEY SEND. OH, EVERY SINGLE DAY THEY SEND YOU A REPORT. EVERY SINGLE DAY. SORRY. SO JUST IN ONE DAY, ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY. OKAY, I'LL SHOW YOU THE WHOLE THING BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE OTHER REPORT.
ARE THERE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS? OH, YEAH.
WELL, I MEAN, THERE WERE COMPLAINTS BEFORE.
NO, THE PERSON WHO'S, LIKE, WORKING. SO ONE THING, YOU KNOW, I FEEL SO TERRIBLE FOR THAT ONE SWEET LADY. HE USED TO WORK FOR THE PROPERTY APPRAISER.
AND NOW SHE WORKS HERE AND THEY'RE TAKING HER PICTURE AND BLASTING HER, AND SHE'S JUST TRYING TO HAVE AN HONEST LIVING.
BUT I'LL TELL YOU, YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT FACEBOOK, IT LOOKS LIKE DEVASTATING AND TERRIBLE.
BUT I. WHEN I SAY I REGISTERED AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE A DAY, LIKE MY ENTIRE JOB,
[00:25:01]
FOR NOT THIS WEEK, BUT THE WEEK BEFORE. AND THE FIRST TWO WEEKS WAS JUST REGISTERING PEOPLE ALL DAY LONG. AND EVERYONE WHO CAME IN WAS SO PLEASANT AND SO NICE.YEAH, BECAUSE, I MEAN, THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE SAYING SOMETHING ONLINE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT HATE IT.
RIGHT. OKAY, SO JUST YESTERDAY ALONE, THEY HAD 124 PERMITS, WHICH WAS 20... $400, BUT THE TOTAL AMOUNT SO FAR IS 6094 PERMITS WITH $85,000, AND THIS IS JUST THE PERMIT. SO THAT JUST MEANS PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIVE IN THIS CITY WHO PAID 174 DOLLARS. OR IF YOU, IF THEY LIVED IN THE CITY AND THEY GOT A THIRD PERMIT. IT WAS $24, SO THAT'S HOW MUCH MONEY WE GOT FROM THAT. AND HERE'S THE 5,000 PEOPLE FROM THE CITY, AND THEN 130 ARE THE EXTRA $24 ONES. NON-CITY IS 660. DANG. THE HARDEST, THE ONLY TIME THAT PEOPLE WERE LIKE, REALLY NOT HAPPY WAS WHEN THEY CAME IN AND THEY THOUGHT THEY LIVED IN THE CITY AND THEY DIDN'T.
BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE A FERNANDINA BEACH ADDRESS THINK THEY LIVE IN THE CITY, BUT THEY DON'T. ARE THOSE FOUR PEOPLE THAT GOT THE MONTHLY PASS KIND OF GETTING SCAMMED? YEAH, I DON'T THINK THE MONTHLY PASS MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. HOW MUCH IS A MONTHLY? UNLESS MAYBE THEY JUST ARE HERE FOR ONE MONTH. HAS IT EVEN, LIKE, IS IT EVEN BEING ENFORCED? UM, IT'S NOT, THEY'RE GETTING CITATIONS, OR WARNINGS RIGHT NOW, THAT CITATIONS AREN'T REALLY HAPPENING, BUT MAYBE THEY'RE JUST ON VACATION RIGHT NOW. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME IN, WHO ARE ON VACATION, WHO HAVE ASKED IF THEY COULD BYPASS. HI MIA, OKAY, AND THEN HOURLY PARKING, UM, JUST YESTERDAY, WE MADE... THEY MADE $1,800, 363 TRANSACTIONS, HOURLY PARKING, CUMULATIVE FOR THE MONTH. FOR THE MONTH, SO WHAT MONTH, WHAT, WHEN, IT DIDN'T EVEN START, IT STARTED FEBRUARY. IT STARTED LIKE TWO WEEKS AGO. SO THAT'S REALLY JUST IN ONE WEEK. AND THAT'S ONLY TOURISTS, BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES WHO COME DOWNTOWN AND DON'T KNOW THAT.
WE'RE NOT GIVING CITATIONS RIGHT NOW. SO JUST IN ONE WEEK. WHY ARE WE SCARING PEOPLE LIKE THAT? THAT'S KIND OF EVIL. NO, IT'S NOT. THE PROGRAM HAS STARTED. THEY'RE JUST, WE ARE TRYING, NOT WE, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.
THEY ARE TRYING SO HARD TO BE AS PASSIVE AS THEY CAN.
YES, AND MAKE IT SO EASY FOR THE CITY RESIDENTS. LIKE, COME ON, YOU HAVE A WHOLE MONTH TO COME AND GET YOUR PERMIT AND DO IT THE RIGHT WAY. DO YOU THREE HAVE PERMITS? I HAVE MY PERMIT.
I HAVE MINE. YOU DO? I DO NOT HAVE A PERMIT. STEVEN, IF YOU NEED ME TO HELP YOU AFTER THIS. STEVEN, YOU LIVE IN THE CITY. YOU WOULD BE THE $20 ONE. $24. $24 FOR THE YEAR. IF YOU HAVE YOUR REGISTRATION WITH YOU, I CAN SET YOU UP RIGHT NOW. I BELIEVE I DO. I MIGHT NEED TO LOOK INTO THAT. I MADE SURE TO PARK ON A PAID PARKING SPOT JUST TO RUB IT IN, EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT A FAN.
WELL, THAT'S INTERESTING, BECAUSE DID YOU SET UP YOUR OWN ACCOUNT OR DID YOUR MOM DO IT? MY MOM DID. BECAUSE I'M CURIOUS. I HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT HAPPENS YET. WHEN THEY SCAN, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GET A TEXT MESSAGE, BUT YOU WON'T GET THE TEXT MESSAGE FROM YOUR MOM. THAT'S TRUE.
DANG. I KNOW. SO, STEVEN, YOU SHOULD SET UP YOUR OWN ACCOUNT, AND I'LL HELP YOU. DO YOU THINK YOUR PARENTS GOT PASSES? I DON'T THINK SO, EITHER. OKAY.
DANG, THEN YOU CAN TAKE ONE OF THE FREE ONES.
BUT THAT'S PRETTY CRAZY, RIGHT? $25,000 IN ONE WEEK.
HOW MUCH ARE WE PAYING THE COMPANY FOR THE YEAR? $24,000 A MONTH. AND THIS WAS A WEEK THEY GOT $25,000. WE BROKE EVEN.
BUT OBVIOUSLY AT THE START YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MORE MONEY. NO, IT'S GOING TO BE SLOWER. NO, THIS IS HOURLY. HOURLY. OH, THAT'S THE HOURLY? I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PERMITS. THAT'S HOURLY ALONE.
AND THEN ALL OF THIS STUFF IS, YOU KNOW, THE PERMITS. DO I GET, LIKE A STICKER ON MY CAR? NO.
NO, IT'S JUST LICENSE PLATE BASED. STEVEN, YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR. IT'S MY FAULT. IT'S OKAY. NO, YOU DON'T GET A STICKER. IT'S BASED ON YOUR LICENSE TAG. AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST HURDLES IS THAT...
PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAVE THEIR PERMITS ARE COMING DOWN TO PARK AND THEN THEY'RE SCANNING AND SAYING, WHY ARE THEY CHARGING? BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO SCAN.
ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR PERMIT, YOU JUST PARK AND GO ABOUT YOUR DAY. WHENEVER MY MOM WAS DOING THE WEBSITE, SHE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY.
BECAUSE, LIKE, IT LETS YOU SELECT FROM A LIST OF LIKE, WHAT TYPE OF VEHICLE YOU HAVE. AND LIKE IT, ONE OF THEM WAS LIKE HELICOPTER, AND LIKE AMBULANCE, AND LIKE A TANK OR SOMETHING. I'M PRETTY SURE IT SAID A TANK ON THERE. I'M LIKE, OKAY.
SOMEBODY PAID FOR THEIR TRAILER TO HAVE A PARKING LOT.
BECAUSE, I MEAN, HE'S TAKING UP A SPOT, SO HE, YOU KNOW, DID THE RIGHT THING. PEOPLE ARE BETTER THAN ONE. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS A BIG DISCUSSION TOPIC RIGHT NOW IS WHAT TO DO ABOUT CONTRACTOR VEHICLES. IF THEY HAVE A YELLOW PLATE, LIKE A GOVERNMENT VEHICLE, AND THEY'RE COMING DOWN TO WORK, THEN THEY'RE WHAT'S CALLED WHITELISTED, WHICH MEANS THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE, BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE OTHER. PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE YELLOW PLATES.
[00:30:01]
ANYWAY, THAT'S THAT. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I'M EXCITED TO SEE THIS OVER TIME. WELL, NOT TOO LONG. WELL, YEAH.OKAY, SO WHEN WE TALK, LIKE, FUTURE, WE'LL ALL BE HERE MARCH 11TH FOR THE WORKSHOP, AND THEN OUR NEXT MEETING MEETING IS ALSO IN MARCH, RIGHT? THE 25TH. SO WE'LL HAVE ONE MORE MEETING BEFORE THE WATERFRONT PARK OPENING, SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT THEN.
AND THEN I FEEL LIKE APRIL IS GOING TO BE OUR LAST ACTUAL MEETING.
AND THEN MAY IS OUR... AND THEN MAY IS THE LIGHTHOUSE TOUR.
OKAY, YEAH. BECAUSE, I MEAN, I'M GONE IN JUNE. I AM, TOO.
AND YOU'RE GOING TO UF, RIGHT? YES. ARE YOU GOING SOMEWHERE? NO, I'M GOING TO FALL. DOES FALL START AUGUST? YEAH. LATE AUGUST.
LATE AUGUST. OKAY, DO I HAVE ANYTHING ELSE FOR YOU GUYS? IS EMMA GOING SOMEWHERE? ALSO, SHE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT YOU YET, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT SHE'S WAITING FOR.
IN THE COMPETITION. OKAY. I'M UNABLE TO ATTEND ON THE 11TH, SO I'LL ATTEND ON THE 11TH.
THANK YOU. SO THIS IS, THE ONE ON THE 11TH IS WHERE HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING TO BE, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL HAVE ALREADY READ THEM. WHEN ZACH GETS SUBMISSIONS, HE'S GOING TO SEND THEM TO ME, SO I CAN SEND THEM TO YOU SO WE CAN READ THEM AHEAD OF TIME. BECAUSE OUR HOPE IS THAT WE'LL HAVE LOTS OF ENTRIES. AND THEN THEY COME TO THE WORKSHOP WITH THEIR TOP WINNERS, AND THEN WE ALL VOTE. IS THERE A STUDENT DATABASE THAT YOU GUYS SEND STUDENTS TO SEE, OR IS IT JUST THE CITY PAGE? THAT'S THE MEMBER WHO'S NOT HERE TODAY, CLAY. HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE GIVING IT TO HIS DAD, AND THEY SEND IT OUT IN THE HIGH SCHOOL. AND THEN ANOTHER YOUNG LADY, OLIVIA, WHO'S NOT HERE TODAY, SHE'S IN CHARGE OF GIVING IT TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.
SO THEY'RE ADVERTISING IT THAT WAY. AND THEN, I DON'T KNOW IF, WERE YOU HERE WHEN I SAID, I'LL PUT IT IN THE CITY SCOOP AND THE SOCIAL MEDIA? BECAUSE, I MEAN, ORIGINALLY IT WAS JUST GOING TO GO ON THEIR, LIKE, CANVAS THING, SO IT WAS JUST THEIR HIGH SCHOOL. BUT THEN, I MEAN, LIKE, THE GUY WHO ACTUALLY MADE THE STATUE IS IN HOMESCHOOL.
SO WE DIDN'T WANT TO CUT ANYBODY OUT.
BUT MAYBE, I JUST SENT YOU THE LINK, SAM, BUT I WONDER IF, SHOULD WE HAVE A FLYER? LIKE, DO YOU GUYS GET HIGH SCHOOLERS AT THE REC CENTER? NO, I'M JUST GOING TO ENCOURAGE MY HIGH SCHOOL EMPLOYEES. OH, YEAH.
GREAT IDEA. GREAT IDEA. GREAT IDEA. MAYBE THEY'LL WIN. WHAT A GREAT PR STORY THAT WOULD BE.
DON'T TELL US, THOUGH. WE HAVE TO BE FAIR. ALL RIGHT, ANYTHING ELSE, YOU GUYS? THANK YOU, THREE, FOR BEING HERE.
OF COURSE. IT'S OUR DUTY. WE SHOULD MAKE THIS A PAID POSITION. CAN WE ACTUALLY, HOW DO WE DO THIS? WHAT? NO.
IT'S A LITTLE LATE IN YOUR CAREER. PASS THAT ALONG TO THE NEXT STAFF. THE NEXT, WE'LL PUT THAT ON. HOW MANY NEW MEMBERS ARE THERE GOING TO BE? SIX? YEAH. THAT'S YOUR LEGACY. WHAT IS THE, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO GET PAID? LIKE, THIS WILL BE A PAID POSITION. LIKE, THE MAYOR IS PAID. WILL YOU BE PAID, TOO? WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD COME BACK AND BE THE MAYOR. GREAT IDEA. I'D VOTE FOR YOU. THANK YOU. I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. EVEN... THERE'S BIGGER ASPIRATIONS. NO, I JUST THINK. OKAY. I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT WOULD YOUR PLATFORM BE? 01, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. I'LL COPY... 3RD AND DINA 2.0.
ALRIGHT, DO YOU WANT TO CLOSE THIS OUT SO WE CAN TURN THE MICROPHONES OFF? ALL RIGHT,
