UM, I HAVE THE PACKET THAT, UM, FOR THE REPORT, BUT IT WAS FROM JUNE.
IT HASN'T BEEN DONE SINCE JUNE OF 2021.
SO, UM, I DID MEET WITH THE POLICY COUNCIL, WHICH IS REQUIRED BY EARLY HEADSTART.
AND, UM, I CAN REVIEW THE REPORT, THE FISCAL REPORT FOR JUNE, 2021 AS OF NEXT MONTH.
I'M HOPING TO DO JULY, AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER AND BE CAUGHT
[00:05:01]
UP SO THAT WE'D BE BACK TO A REGULAR MONTHLY SCHEDULE.UM, AS FAR AS 2021 FISCAL SCHOOL YEAR FOR JUNE, 2021, THERE WAS 50 CHILDREN ENROLLED, UM, AND A TOTAL OF 57 CHILDREN SERVED BECAUSE WHEN A CHILD TURNS THREE, THEY HAVE TO DROP FROM THE PROGRAM AND WE RE ENROLL A NEW BABY.
UM, WE HAD EIGHT OF THOSE CHILDREN OVER INCOME AND SEE THEY DID, UM, 220 SOCIALIZATIONS AND A TOTAL OF 187 VISITS, WHICH CAME OUT TO ABOUT 2009 WITH ALL THE CHILDREN THAT WERE SERVED.
THE IN KIND THAT WAS FOR DONATIONS WAS 126,000 832 77 FOR THE MONTH OF, UH, FOR THE YEAR END.
UM, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GO OVER ALL THE EXPENDITURES AS WELL? JUST OVERVIEW OVERVIEW WOULD BE FINE IF I COULD SAY YOU GUYS REMEMBER LIZ.
SO FORGIVE US IF WE MADE MISTAKES BEFORE THIS STARTED, BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT WE WEREN'T DOING OUR MONTHLY REPORTS ONCE CATHERINE ARE RESIGNED.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE SO FAR BEHIND.
I BELIEVE SHE HAS EXPERIENCE IN DOING THE MONTHLY REPORT.
SO WE'VE MET A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT ONCE YOU KIND OF GET START, LIZ IS TRY TO BACKTRACK.
SO WE'RE DOING A JUNE MONTHLY REPORT FOR FOUR STAR NOW.
AND AS SHE SAID, WE'LL DO IT HOPEFULLY JULY AND AUGUST NEXT MONTH, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO IT WOULD BE CATCH BACK UP, UH, BUT WE FEEL REALLY GOOD THAT WE'RE IN A LOT BETTER STANDING NOW THAN WE WERE TWO MONTHS AGO OR SIX MONTHS AGO, UM, IN THE EARLY HEADSTART PROGRAM, AS YOU GUYS KNOW, IT'S A FAIRLY FUNDED PROGRAM, SO OUR REQUIREMENTS ARE QUITE STRINGENT.
I'M SO SORRY IF WE SOUND TENTATIVE RIGHT NOW.
THE, UM, THE MAIN THING THAT WE WANTED TO SHARE WITH THE PARENTS AND WITH YOU IS THAT, UM, IN THE SPRING OF, UH, 2021, THERE IS A, UH, MONITORING REVIEW MADE BY ORANGE COUNTY HEADSTART AND THEY HAD SOME DEFICIENCIES, UH, FA FINDINGS IN THE PROGRAM.
AND SO, UM, I NEEDED TO DO A CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR THE SPRING, UM, WHICH WAS DIFFICULT BECAUSE I WASN'T HERE.
AND SO I'M TRYING TO BACKTRACK, BUT WE DID PRESENT THIS TO THE PARENTS, THE COMMITTEE, THE POLICY COUNCIL COMMITTEE.
AND IT IS IN THE PACKET THAT WE EMAILED YOU, UM, IN REGARDS TO RECORD BETTER RECORD KEEPING.
UM, ONE OF THE FINDINGS WAS LOW ENROLLMENT AND NOT KEEPING CONSISTENT ENROLLMENT, UM, SETTING GOALS FOR FAMILIES AND FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH DOCUMENTATION.
UM, THOSE WERE THE MAIN KEY AREAS AND WE HAVE TILL DECEMBER 1ST TO FIX IT.
SO, UM, THEN WE GET TO START THE FALL MONITORING REPORT.
SO THIS ONE'S FROM SPRING AND THEN WE HAVE A NEW ONE COMING.
SO WE'VE MADE THE FINALIZATION ON THIS, WE'VE COME TOGETHER AND HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS AND WE HAVE NOW ESTABLISHED A SYSTEM IN PLACE SO THAT WE CAN CORRECT ALL OF THESE.
AND THEN, UM, NEXT MONTH I'LL BE BRINGING BLESS YOU NEXT MONTH.
I'LL BE BRINGING YOU THE NEW FALL MONITORING, UM, CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN.
UM, AND SOME OF THEM ARE THE SAME ITEMS THAT HAVE CONTINUED.
ONE IS ENROLLMENT AND RECORDKEEPING.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO DO POLICY AND PROCEDURES TO GET THOSE SYSTEMS IN PLACE SO THAT EVERYBODY'S FOLLOWING THE SAME GUIDELINES AND THE SAME, UM, SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT ALL OF EARLY HEADSTART.
SO IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? OH, SO IT IS RECORDING THE AIR.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO EARLY HEADSTART? I HAVE, I HAVE A QUESTION.
I HAVE A QUESTION AND IT'S NOT SO MUCH ABOUT YOUR REPORT, SO I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO ASK IT, BUT I I'M KEEP GETTING THE SENSE THAT THE PROGRAM WAS STRUGGLING.
THERE WERE PROBLEMS. AND I FEEL LIKE AS A COMMISSION, IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO LISTEN TO THE REPORTS EVERY MONTH AND KIND OF OVERSEE THE PROGRAM.
AND I'M WONDERING IF I DIDN'T HAVE THE SENSE THAT THINGS WERE PROBLEMATIC.
SO I'M WONDERING WHAT WE MISSED AND HOW WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T MISS THAT AGAIN.
[00:10:01]
NO, THAT'S A GOOD, THAT'S A DEFINITELY A GOOD QUESTION.UM, GABBY, SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.
I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANYBODY REALLY KNEW, YOU KNOW, SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD COME TO OUR ATTENTION EVERY TIME WE HAD THIS CASE, THE NUMBER ONE THING IS THAT 50 CHILDREN.
SO EVERY TIME YOU GUYS HEAR THAT, IT'S NOT 50, WE SHOULD BE ASKING YOU WHY, WHAT ARE WE DOING? YOU KNOW, ARE WE RECRUITING? CAUSE THAT'S, THAT'S THE BIGGEST REASON YOU'RE OUT OF COMPLIANCE BECAUSE IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE BOXES YOU CHECK, ARE YOU AT 50 OR NOT? AND IF YOU'RE NOT, IT'S A FINDING.
AND SO THE ONLY TIME WE MADE, UM, UH, 50 LAST YEAR, IT WAS IN DECEMBER AND THEN ENTIRE FISCAL YEAR NOW WAS COVID.
PEOPLE DIDN'T WANT TO GET OUT, BUT WE ALSO DID VIRTUAL VISITS.
SO, UM, AS, AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND I'M LEARNING MORE, UM, I'M NOW MEETING DIRECTLY WITH THE ORANGE COUNTY HEAD START PERSON.
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR QUITE SOME TIME, YOU KNOW, WE GAVE UP OUR HEADSTART PROGRAM A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO KIND OF, BECAUSE OF THE SAME REASONS, RIGHT.
IT'S JUST VERY STRINGENT IN POLICIES.
AND UM, SO IT'S NOT ALWAYS JUST THE STAFF'S FAULT, BUT WE DID MAKE A CHANGE.
UM, WE'RE WORKING AND I'M HOPING THAT AS I LEARNED MORE, WE COULD BE MORE TRANSPARENT TOO.
SO THAT WAY I CAN, YOU KNOW, I KNOW 50 NOW IT'S EVERY MONTH, I'M LIKE, WAIT, YOU SAY 43.
SO, BUT I'M ALSO LEARNING THINGS THAT LIZ COMES UP A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN HEADSTART.
SO IT'S HELPING AND AGAIN, UNTIL I DON'T NEED TO, AS LIZ TAKES OVER, I'M MEETING DIRECTLY WITH, UM, UM, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ORANGE COUNTY HEADSTART.
SO I'LL BE AS TRANSPARENT AS I KNOW HOW TO BE, AND I'M LEARNING THROUGH THIS.
AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO BE UPFRONT WITH YOU TO LET YOU KNOW, WE'RE THREE MONTHS BEHIND RIGHT NOW.
AND SO WE'RE WORKING ON IT, BUT GOOD QUESTION AND FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS.
IF YOU HEAR SOMETHING AND I WILL DO MY BEST AS I UNDERSTAND WHEN I SAY, OH, WE OVERSPENT OR WE UNDERSTAND, OR WE DID THIS OR THAT TO LET YOU KNOW WHERE THERE ARE RED FLAGS, BUT THE BIGGEST ONE WILL BE THE ENROLLMENT.
CAUSE I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE THE EXECUTIVE BOARD FOR EARLY HEAD START, REMIND ME, IS THE 50 A TARGET OR A THRESHOLD? LIKE YOU HAVE TO HAVE 50.
SO IF WE HAVE 49 AT THE END OF THE MONTH AND THAT'S THE MONTH THAT THEY CHOOSE TO AUDIT IS A FINDING.
AND SO, UM, WE DON'T WANT TO GET ORANGE COUNTY.
UH, WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE THEM LOOK ANY WORSE, BUT, UM, YOU HAVE 50 AND IF A CHILD TURNS THREE, HE EXIT OUT IMMEDIATELY.
I'M SURE YOU'VE REVERSED CATHERINE SAYING THAT, WHICH MADE IT TOUGH ON HER.
BUT ORANGE COUNTY GETS CAR SAYS YOU SHOULD HAVE A 50%, UM, WAITING LIST.
YOU JUST WAITING TO ENROLL WHEN PEOPLE EXIT.
AND SO THEY NEVER WANT US TO BE LESS THAN 50.
SO IT HAS TO BE 50 AT ALL TIMES.
WE'LL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IT TOO, BUT WE HAVE A PLAN TO GET TO 50 BY DECEMBER 1ST IS OUR GOAL.
AND, UM, WE'RE NOT DOING IN-HOME IF THEY PEOPLE DON'T WANT AND WE WILL DO OUR, UM, UH, A WEEK, WE'LL DO THEM IN THE PARK, THE LIBRARY WE'VE BEEN USING THE LIBRARY A LOT FOR PARENTS THAT DON'T WANT US IN THE HOME.
UH, BUT I'LL LET YOU KNOW MORE NEXT MONTH TOO, BUT YES, KEEP OUT.
AND THAT'S THE FIRST THING I MISS IMPORTANT NOW IS HOW MANY DID WE HAVE ENROLLED EVERYTHING ELSE? YOU'VE BEEN PRETTY MUCH IN COMPLIANCE WITH EXCEPT FOR ENROLLMENT.
AND WE ARE NOW WORKING ON TO GET EVERYBODY CERTIFIED WITH A DENTAL, RIGHT? AND MENTAL HEALTH ARE THOSE, THE TWO OTHER ONES, UH, THEIR VISION, THEIR VISION, AND HEARING WHAT WE'VE GOT A CONTROL ON THAT.
SO ALL THE CHILDREN ARE GETTING VISION AND HEARING AND DENTAL.
AND THEN, UM, UH, JUST FOLLOW UP ON ANY CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS OR MEDICAL ISSUES.
UM, CAUSE WE DO, WE WORK WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY.
SO, UM, FOR YOU GUYS TO ASK EACH MONTH, ARE THERE IDEAS, DEFICIENCIES THAT YOU THINK THAT SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THIS ONE? I MEAN, I'LL, I'LL DO MY BEST TO SAY UPRIGHT, JUST IN CASE WE MISS SOMETHING.
AND IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY THAT'S PREGNANT, WE CAN TAKE THEM
THAT'S THE ONE THING I SURE IT'S EASY.
IT'S A, IT'S A, IT'S A YES OR A 'CAUSE.
WE CAN, WE CAN TAKE THEM RIGHT WHEN THEY'RE PREGNANT, IF THEY'RE LOW INCOME, THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT IT'S A, IT'S A, THE GUIDELINES ARE SO LOW.
AND A LOT OF OUR FAMILIES IN THE AREA MAY NOT QUALIFY.
THEY'RE LIKE A HUNDRED DOLLARS OVER $200 OVER.
SO, UM, IT'S REALLY, REALLY DIFFICULT.
WE HAVE FAMILIES COMING IN, BUT THEY JUST DON'T QUALIFY.
WE HAVE TO SERVE THE LOWEST NEEDIEST FAMILY.
YOU KNOW? SO IN THIS BEFORE, IF YOU GUYS WOULD CALL WITHIN THE LAST FEW YEARS AND I'VE BEEN HERE TOO, WE GET A REPORT THAT SAYS IT'S A SELF-ASSESSMENT RIGHT.
THERE'S A COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT.
THERE IS, YOU GUYS MIGHT HAVE SEEN WHAT THEY CALL IT, CORRECTIVE ACTION PLANS.
SO THOSE ARE ALL WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
[00:15:01]
FINDINGS AND THEN HOW WE'RE GOING TO CORRECT IT IF WE HAVE ONE IN THIS BUSTED REPORT.SO, UM, AND IT'S VERY, VERY THICK.
IT WAS EMAILED IN THAT PACKET.
IT'S WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT WE CONSIDER OUR FINDINGS, HOWEVER, NOW WE'RE MAKING A CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN TO ADDRESS THOSE FINDINGS.
A FINDING IS LIKE A MERIT OR, UH, THAT YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG THAT THE AUDIT FINES.
AND SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT NOW AGAIN, UM, LIZ JUST GOT HERE, WE MADE A CHANGE OF STAFFING, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ADDRESS ALL THESE THINGS AS PEOPLE WHO ARE, BUT LIZ, LET US KNOW HOW WE CAN SUPPORT YOU.
I KNOW YOU'RE SAYING, YEAH, WE BE PREGNANT MOMS. I'M REACHING OUT TO THE TEEN PREGNANT PROGRAM, THE CAL SAFE, UM, BECAUSE THEY AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY BECAUSE THEY'RE AT RISK.
SO, UM, BUT IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY THAT'S LOWER INCOME AND IS PREGNANT AND NEEDS SERVICES, WE CAN SERVE ENROLL THE PREGNANT MOMMY AS A CHILD, YOU ARE THERE LIKE, UM, SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS THAT WE CAN DIRECT PEOPLE TO WHERE WE CAN SHARE.
UM, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AN AD IN THE MAGAZINE.
UM, WE'RE NOW DOING INCENTIVES WHERE WE'RE GIVING, UH, FREE BACKPACKS AWAY FOR PEOPLE THAT REFER AND THEY ENROLL.
AND WE'RE GOING TO GIVE A GRAND PRIZE OF TOYS OR SOME BOOKS, UM, FOR THE PARENT THAT REFERS THE MOST BECAUSE WORD OF MOUTH SEEMS TO WORK THE BEST.
WHY WOULD WE GIVE THE CAR THAT WE JUST MADE? WE CAN SEND IT TO YOU.
WE PASSED OUT LIKE 300 AT THE PARADE AND WE GOT MAYBE FIVE CALLS SO FAR.
WE WERE HANDING THEM OUT EVERYWHERE.
THE FLYER THAT YOU GUYS CAN SHARE OR WE'LL POST ONE THAT YOU GUYS CAN SHARE.
AND, UH, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT EARLY HEAD START DID START.
ONE OF OUR FINDINGS WAS THAT WE DIDN'T COMPLY WITH ONE OF OUR GOALS, WHICH WAS START A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN, WHICH SOUNDS CRAZY BECAUSE IT'S SO EASY TO DO.
SO WE MADE A FACEBOOK PAGE THE NEXT DAY, AS SOON AS I SAW THAT FINDING LIKE SIX WEEKS AGO, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF CRAZY.
KIM HAD MADE ONE FOR THE DIVISION CHILD DEVELOPMENT, BUT EARLY HEADSTART SAID, ONE OF OUR GOALS WAS TO MAKE A SOCIAL MEDIA, UM, UH, OUTLET.
SO WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT, BUT NOW WE'RE JUST GOING TO WORK ON TAGGING EVERYTHING AND, UM, GETTING, UM, UH, MORE FOLLOWERS.
SO IF YOU GUYS COULD ALL FOLLOW IT TOO, THAT'D BE GREAT.
UH, SO WE'RE REALLY ADDRESSING ALL OF OUR SHORTCOMINGS AND EXPECT TO BE PERFECT BY DECEMBER 1ST, I WOULD RECOMMEND FOR THE YOUNGER AUDIENCE THAT YOU GO TO TWITTER, INSTAGRAM.
UM, THEY HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW.
SO THEY, THEY GET FROM TRYING TO EAT.
IT'S JUST, WE'RE, WE'RE NOT A TICK TALKING YET, BUT UH, WE ASKED THEY GO AWAY AND THEY NEED TO BE KEPT.
SO WORDS CAN'T REALLY DO THAT TOO MUCH, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL MAKE SURE WE GET YOU THAT.
IF YOU SAW THE RED WAGONS AT THE PARADE, THOSE ARE ALL EARLY HEADSTART BABIES.
AND THE PARENTS, THE PARENTS WERE WITH THEM THAT THE PARENTS WERE WILLING TO ME.
THE PARENTS WERE WITH THEM AND THEY DECORATED THEIR WAGON AND THEY PUT THEIR NAME, THEIR FAMILY NAME ON IT.
IT WAS REALLY PERFECT TO SEE THAT GREAT ENTRY TO THE PARADE BECAUSE OF THE REBRANDING OF OUR CHILD DEVELOPMENT DIVISION.
UM, AND WE FELT THAT THAT WAS MORE ABOUT IT LATER, BUT IT'S ALL WITH TRYING TO PROMOTE EARLY ESCAR AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE JUST WORK IT INTO, UH, ALL CHILD DEVELOPMENT.
SO FOR THANK YOU FOR HELPING IT, WE'LL MAKE SURE WE GET IT AND WE'LL MAKE SURE WE MAKE A LIST OF ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIA THAT YOU GUYS HAVE HELPED WITH.
I JUST HEARD ABOUT THAT YESTERDAY.
SOMEONE MENTIONED THAT IN OUR MEETING AND I, THEY GAVE ME THE INFORMATION TO CONTACT THEM.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE STILL AROUND, BUT IT WAS GOING TO CHECK THAT I USED TO BE HERE AT THE CHURCH.
AND THEY HAD THEIR WHOLE, I MEAN, THEY HAD MAYBE 19 MOMS WITH BABIES, BORN SOME PREGNANT MOMS AND THEY WOULD GO AND, YOU KNOW, BRING THEIR KIDS IF THEY STILL HAD THEM.
I'LL CALL HIM TOMORROW AND SEE IF I CAN LOCATE THEM, UM, WHERE THEY ARE AT.
CAUSE THEY, NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT STILL, BUT YEAH.
AND W WHAT THE MOMMY'S WE PROVIDE ALL KINDS OF SERVICES FOR THE MOMS AND MAKE SURE THEY GET PRENATAL CARE, YOU KNOW, SO WE TRACK IT.
SO ARE WE APPROVING THE MONTHLY REPORT? JUST LIKE AS A WHOLE, YEAH.
DO I HEAR A MOTION TO APPROVE? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MONTHLY REPORT.
[00:20:01]
THE COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION SUBCOMMITTEES.WE HAD TWO ITEMS WE DID RIGHT HERE.
AND THEN THE ONGOING, THE ONGOING MONITORING CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN.
YES, I GUESS I STOPPED THIS AGENDA, BUT UM, I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS IT? OKAY.
IT SAYS, UH, ACTION ITEMS FOR APPROVAL, THE MONTHLY REPORT, AND THEN ONGOING MONITORING, MONITORING CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN.
OH, THAT'S THIS ONE THAT I SHOWED YOU.
SO IS IT A SEPARATE ITEM? I DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT COULD GO WITH ONE OR A SEC.
WELL, LET'S JUST DO A SEPARATE UP.
SO DO I HEAR A MOTION TO APPROVE, UM, APPROVE THEM.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ONGOING MANTRA MONITORING CORRECTION ACTION PLAN FOR PERIOD TWO.
I'LL SAY, CAN I SAY THAT? I ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ THAT ONE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE YOU'LL SEE WHERE WE'RE AT.
AND IT'S A LITTLE EMBARRASSING FOR ME RIGHT NOW TO SAY WHERE WE ARE.
UM, I I'M, I'M EMBARRASSED, YOU KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT WE'RE MAKING STRIDES TO, TO CHANGE.
WE'RE GETTING IT BACK TOGETHER.
WE'RE GOING TO GET IT BACK TOGETHER FIRST.
SO, UM, I'LL PUT IT BY THE NOVEMBER MEETING.
YOU GUYS WANT TO HEAR A LOT OF POSITIVE CHANGES WHERE WE ARE.
SO DO ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY, UH, UPDATED REPORTS ON YOUR SUBCOMMITTEES? I DO.
THIS IS FOR THE CHILD DEVELOPMENT.
UM, MARIE, KATHY AND I, WHEN WE DID THE LOVE OF THE HARBOR PROGRAM, WE ASKED THE DIRECTOR, UM, IF, WHAT SPECIFIC PROJECTS THAT WE COULD WORK WITH THEM ON, SHE SAID THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DECIDE, BUT THEY WILL KEEP US INFORMED MOVING FORWARD.
UM, BECAUSE SHE ALSO STRESSED THAT BECAUSE THEIR DAY-TO-DAY WORK IS, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY DIALED INTO THE CHILDREN AND THAT SORT OF THING.
SO ANY ADDITIONAL HELP IS VERY WELCOMED.
YES, WE DID IT AS A COMMISSION.
SO WE ALL WENT JOANNA LONG BLACK HAIR, JOANNA.
SO LIZ IS CATHERINE AND JOANNA HAS JUST BEEN ELEVATED FROM A LEAD TEACHER.
MAYBE NEXT MONTH SHE COULD COME WITH US AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT.
SO I'M GLAD YOU GUYS WORKED AT THAT PROJECT.
PLAY YARD WAS BIGGER THAN EXPECTED.
WHEN SHE GOT BACK THERE, WE HAVE THE FARM GOING ON.
SO IT'S PRETTY EXCITING, BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE.
AND I'M SURE BETWEEN LIZ AND JOANNA THEY'LL GIVE A PLAN FOR THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON ANYTHING.
THEY MAYBE, AND THE DIRT WAS PRETTY HARD.
SHOVELS WOULD GO IN THERE, MAN.
THE LINE WE WORKED IT, WE HAVE A GRANTS NATURE, UH, STEM OUTSIDE OUT THERE AT THAT SITE.
SO OURS, OUR PLANTS STILL ALIVE.
AND THE CHILDREN GO OUT THERE AND WATER AND WEED AND IT WAS FUN.
GABBY HAS TO HAVE A SHORT REPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY WELLNESS AND SOCIAL SERVICES OF COMMITTEE.
SO KATHY, CARRIE AND I MET, UM, TO DISCUSS LIKE WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO.
AND CARRIE HAD A REALLY GOOD SUGGESTION ABOUT CHECKING IN ON SENIORS THAT USED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SENIOR LUNCH PROGRAM AND FINDING OUT, UM, WHAT THEY'RE DOING NOW, AS FAR AS GETTING HELP WITH ANY KIND OF FOOD OR SERVICES THAT THEY NEED.
SO, UH, KATHY DID SOME OUTREACH TO, I KNOW YOUR STAFF OR I THINK KIM, RIGHT.
UH, TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THAT.
AND SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO LOOK INTO THAT.
UM, MAYBE SEE IF WE CAN REACH OUT TO THE SENIORS SO THAT THEY KNOW THAT THE PRO WHAT PROGRAMS ARE BACK AND IF THEY CAN'T COME IN, UM, PROVIDE THEM WITH OTHER OPTIONS AROUND THE COMMUNITY WHERE THEY CAN GO AND GET ANY FOOD OR SERVICES THAT THEY NEED.
SO IF YOU, IF THE STAFF HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WAYS THAT WE CAN HELP THEM, WE'RE READY TO GO.
[00:25:01]
WE'LL DO, IS WE'LL PUT TOGETHER SOME, UH, MAYBE BULLET POINT CHOICES OF HOW TO HELP NEXT MONTH UNDERNEATH EVERY ONE OF THESE LITTLE SUBCOMMITTEES.CAN I ADD ONE MORE? UH, THIS KIND OF FALLS IN BETWEEN THE CHILDREN'S CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND SPECIAL EVENTS, AND THAT IS THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.
SO WE, AS A COMMITTEE, WE WERE GOING TO ATTEND IT, BUT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT ENDED UP, UM, GOING OVER.
I, IT WAS, IT'S AN AMAZING ADDITION.
IT IS VERY EDUCATIONAL FOR THE KIDS.
SO IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO GO BY IN, RIGHT, RIGHT.
AND YOU WERE ABLE TO SEE THE RAMP ROOM NOW, TOO.
SO WE'RE DOING A LOT OF GOOD THINGS AT THE MUSEUM.
SO I LOOK FORWARD TO EVEN MORE THERE, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I'D LIKE TO REALLY, REALLY WORK ON OUR EXTERIOR.
SO WE WANT THE EXPERIENCE FROM THE DCM TO START AT THE APARTMENT LINE, BECAUSE THEN SHE KNOWS WHAT THE, THE PARKING LOT, YOU KIND OF WALK THROUGH THE FRONT AND THE TREES AND THE CONCRETE AND SHAVED OUT OR HIVES.
HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET IT TO LOOK AT MY SISTER'S MUSEUM.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMITTEES? WELL, I HAVE AN UPDATE.
SO RICHARD ON THE PARKS AND MUSEUMS WILL BE MEETING WITH DAVID DAILY ON NEXT WEDNESDAY.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE SUBCOMMITTEES.
WE'LL PUT TOGETHER SOME BULLET POINTS THAT THEY HELP THE COMMITTEE AS YOU MOVE ON TO.
SO WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW THE COMMUNITY SERVICES, UH, SPECIAL EVENTS.

SO WE HOPE THAT CHILDREN CAN GET OUTSIDE OF AND TO DO THEIR VERBAL TRICK OR TREATING AND GET BACK TO USUAL.
UM, THE CITY WILL HAVE, UH, A HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION HERE AT THE 28TH OR 27, 28.
UH, IF ANYBODY WANTS TO COME SEE THE, WITH THE, UH, WE'RE BORN OF GREAT OR CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS OVER HERE, IT'S THE SCHOOLS STILL DON'T ALLOW, UH, FIELD TRIPS.
THE CHILDREN WILL BE OVER HERE AT EACH DEPARTMENT IS TAKING A 10 BY 10 TO DECORATE AND HAVING THE CHILDREN COME BY TO GET A LITTLE SEMBLANCE OF A TRICK OR TREAT, UH, WE DIDN'T PUT THAT ON THERE AND, YOU KNOW, CAUSE IT'S SMALL, BUT IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME BY ON THE 28TH, AT 10 30, YOU CAN DO SO.
UM, TODAY, AS YOU KNOW IS PRETTY BIG FOR US HERE.
UM, WE MOVED IT OUTSIDE BECAUSE WE, UH, WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE.
BUT IF, UH, INCLEMENT WEATHER HAPPENS, WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
UH, CARRIE PROBABLY WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT.
UM, SINCE YOUR COMMITTEE CHAIRS GO ON THE CIVIC, DECEMBER IS TAMALE FESTIVAL OF THE FIRST SATURDAY OF DECEMBER.
UM, I HOPE ALL OF YOU ARE HERE FOR THAT.
ONE OF THE OTHER AMAZING DAY, WE ALSO ARE REVAMPING OUR THREE 90 CEREMONY AT THAT EVENT.
SO, UM, WE HOPE TO HAVE A BIGGER, BETTER STREET LIGHTING CEREMONY.
AND SINCE IT'S NOT A SATURDAY, WE CAN STAY A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND THAT BOY WOULD FLIP THE CYCLE IF LIKED THE TREE ABOUT SEVEN O'CLOCK.
UM, WE DON'T HAVE TO END THE FESTIVAL THAT WE HAD IN THE PAST.
WE HOPE THAT IT'LL BE A LITTLE, UH, CHRISTMAS-Y LONGER.
UM, AND THEN WE HAVE OUR HOLIDAY, WHICH IS PROGRAM THAT KIM RUNS SHE'S, UH, SHE COULD PROBABLY TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT HER IDEAS ARE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO, UM, MIX IT UP A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR.
UM, I WAS STRUGGLING A LITTLE BIT, BUT KELLY HAD SOME BRIGHT IDEAS AND WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH IT LONG AS WITH THE PARTNERSHIP WITH NORTH GATE.
SO THE FIRST ONE WILL BE OUR REGULAR HOLIDAY TRADITIONAL WITHOUT TRADITIONAL YOU ARE, BUT OUR HOLIDAY WISHES PROGRAM, WE'RE PARTNERED WITH THE CHILDREN'S PCM, UM, AND OVER TWO DAYS AND WE'LL SERVE ALL OF OUR FAMILIES.
UM, AND WE'RE GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT DOING THEM AN EXPERIENCE, A FAMILY EXPERIENCE TO VISIT THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM, UM, TO, UH,
[00:30:01]
ARCHING CROUSE, BUT JUST WITH SANTA AND THEN THEY WILL GET IT YESTERDAY, LEAVE.IT MIGHT NOT BE, YOU KNOW, THE BIG BAG THEY GET FULL OF TOYS.
UM, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER WITH NORTH GATE MARKET ON DECEMBER 16, UM, AFTER HER SITES HAVE, UM, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO GO TO BOTH EVENTS.
UM, WE'LL ALSO SERVE FAMILIES THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, IN NEED OR IN CHALLENGING TIMES BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE PROBABLY A LOT OF EXTRA TOYS, UM, DEPENDING ON HOW EVERYTHING GOES.
UM, SO WE WILL HAVE TOYS FOR THOSE THAT NEED IT AS A REFERRAL AND WON'T WORK FOR THIS WHOLE DISTRICT TO IDENTIFY THOSE FAMILIES.
BUT WE REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, UM, HOW A FIVE MINUTE EXPERIENCE FOR THE KIDS AND THE FAMILIES RUNNING THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.
WE'LL BE WORKING WITH, UH, SCOTT MILLER OF THE, UH, RECEIPT GARY CENTER WILL PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, GREAT RESOURCES FOOD, UM, HELPS THEM ON THIS ITEMS. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED IF YOU GET, YOU KNOW, AT ONE OF OUR CITY FACILITIES TO PARTNER WITH SOME OF OUR COMMUNITY GROUPS, CERTAINLY THE COMMISSION IS GOING TO SUPPORT OR HELP ME TO PUT BAGS TOGETHER, KNOW ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
SO ONCE WE'VE KIND OF OUTLINED EVERYTHING EARLY NEXT WEEK, I'LL CERTAINLY SEND OUT SOME DATES THAT ARE, IF THE COMMISSIONS ARE INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING, WE TALKED TO HAVING TO COME OUT FROM THE SUMMER, ACTUALLY IN NOVEMBER.
UM, CAUSE WE'RE MOVING IT UP A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR.
SO THE DATE, UM, THE DATES ARE ON HERE AND TIMES ARE ON HERE OUR PROPOSED TIMES, BUT CERTAINLY, UM, STAY TUNED.
ONE OF APPLY THAT BE GOING OUT.
AS YOU KNOW, WE SERVE 500 CHILDREN, TWO THOUSANDS POUNDS AND MEMBERS.
CAN YOU JUST GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF FOOD AND A LITTLE BIT OF STAPLES AND THINGS LIKE THAT IN ADDITION TO THE TOYS AND YOU KNOW, IT'S SAD.
WE KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT BE THE ONLY TOY THAT A CHILD RECEIVES DURING THIS FIGHT.
WE'RE ABOUT READY TO START THE CAMPAIGN TO RAISE FUNDS.
WE DO ASK PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE DO GET A LOT OF JACKETS AND BLANKETS AND IT'S REALLY, REALLY SAD.
SO WE'RE REALLY HOPING TO GIVE THE EXPERIENCE WHERE THEY CAN HAVE SOME FUN AND THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM ALSO.
UM, AND ON TOP OF THAT, I GET A PRESENT AND THEN STILL WORK WITH NORTH GATE AND THEIR PROGRAM.
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERS TO US, UH, A COUPLE HUNDRED CHILDREN BECAUSE OF THE BEST TO IDENTIFY THE MOST NEEDY CHILDREN.
AND, UM, CAUSE YOU KNOW HOW IT IS, SOME PEOPLE COPE FROM PLAY GET WAY TOO LATE.
SO WE USE THEM TO VET MOST OF OUR CHILDREN AND THEN OUR CHILD DEVELOPMENT IS, UM, YOU KNOW, 300 LIKE THAT.
AND THEN TO WATCH FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND OR THE PUBLIC.
SO WE'LL LET YOU KNOW MORE AS THE FLYER COMES OUT FOR, UM, UM, DONATIONS.
AND SO YOU CAN PUT IT ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ALSO, BUT STAY TUNED.
UM, I THINK WE'RE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAYBE 50 TO 75 AT A TIME, MAYBE AT EVERY TWO HOURS AT THE MUSEUM.
SO THE WHOLE FAMILY GETS TO GO AND WE'LL PROBABLY PUT A FREE TICKET IN THERE AND THEIR BAGS TOO, OR MAYBE A BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE TO THE MUSEUM, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO THEY CAN COME BACK BOTH EDUCATIONAL AND UM, BUT FOR THE FAMILY.
UM, SO THAT'S GOING TO BE FINE.
SO ALSO WITH DECEMBER MEDIA, PUT THIS ON HERE, BUT IT'S A IT'S TENTATIVE RIGHT NOW, BUT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT.
THE LIONS ARE HAVING A CAR SHOW DECEMBER 11TH AT THE MARKETPLACE OVER CEREAL AND BEACH ITEM, RIGHT WHERE THE DENTIST OFFICE IS WHERE WE HAD OFFERS IN THE PARK OUT THERE.
SO THE CAR SHOW IS COMING BACK.
SO THAT NIGHT AFTER THE CAR SHOW, WE WERE PLANNING ON HAVING A CONCERT.
AND SO KIM COULD PROBABLY TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT ALSO.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT, UM, BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, HAVE, UM, UH, SINCE THE STATE SHOW ARE GONNA BE SET UP WHERE WE'RE AT THE MARKETPLACE AND YOU KNOW, IT WAS ALL YOUR VEHICLE AT SOMEWHAT PROUD OR WE'RE THERE, WE'RE GONNA CAPITALIZE ON THAT.
AND UM, NOW THE CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS CONCERT AND SEVERAL THERE'S A HANDFUL OF VENDORS, NOT TOO MANY CUSTOMERS.
WE WANT TO WORK WITH A LLAMA MARKETPLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HELP PROMOTE THOSE BUSINESSES AND INVITE THEM TO HAVE A SMALL FOOD OR CHILDHOOD OUT ABOUT THE EVENT.
AND THEN WE'LL CAN HOP A IN CALIFORNIA ARE, UH, UM, BOYS TRIVIA THING.
AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A ATTRIBUTE SPELLED THAT POSITIVE CHRISTMAS SHOW CALLED THE CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS CONCERT, PALM TREES WITH LIGHTS, UH, BELT AND ALL THAT ROCKING UP ON THE STAGE, BUT REALLY MAKING IT A FUN FAMILY EVENT, A FREE EVENT, BUT THEN ALSO RUNNING THE HOPPER MARKETPLACE AS WELL AS SOME OTHER LOCAL VENDORS, UM, TURNS OUT.
SO WE'RE THINKING MAYBE I WAS ASKING YOU IF ANYBODY KNOWS ANYBODY FROM THE CHAMBER, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY WANTED TO GET INVOLVED IN A
I HEARD THAT PROGRAM SOMETIMES EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT REALLY TRYING TO PROMOTE THE MARKETPLACE AND THE SHOPPING CHRISTMAS SHOPPING HERE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WE'RE HOPING FOR GOOD WEATHER.
AND, UH, WE THINK THAT IT'LL BE REALLY FUN IF, WHAT WERE THE NAMES OF SOME OF THE SONGS THAT THEY HAD? UH, OH, JUST LIKE, UM, YEAH, I MEAN, ANYWAYS, AS A BEACH BOYS SONG THERE,
[00:35:08]
PULL THAT OFF.SO WE'LL LET YOU KNOW MORE, BUT IF YOU CAN'T PUT DECEMBER 11TH ON YOUR CALENDAR FOR NOW, JUST SO YOU DON'T RSVP TO ANOTHER CHRISTMAS PARTY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WE KNOW IT'LL BE BUSY, BUT THAT'S KIND OF EXCITING FOR US.
SO, AND THEN, UM, IN JANUARY THERE'S ALSO THE POOR MATE GUYS AND GALS ON JANUARY 9TH, RIGHT? SO, UM, AS I'VE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO ONE OF THOSE PLACES BEFORE EIGHT GUYS WERE ALL DEMAND FOOT, NOW THEY'RE ADDING THE GALS RIGHTS.
SO WE HOPE THAT, UM, WE COULD PARTICIPATE MAYBE AS A GROUP, AS INDIVIDUALS.
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER, BUT IT'S THE BIG CORPORATION ALSO, AND I'M HERE, GET THERE AND YOU GUYS COULD PROBABLY TALK ABOUT THAT TO EVERYBODY, TO KIM CAST, THAT'S GOING TO BE ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 9TH.
AND, UM, I DON'T HAVE ALL THEIR DETAILS, BUT LIKE ME, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE EXPANDING THE PROGRAM THIS YEAR.
IF WE GALS, IT'S PROBABLY JUST FRENCH IN, BUT WE ARE CALLING YOUR PRIOR EVENT, UH, TO GET AROUND SOME OF THE, UM, HEALTH GROUP PERMIT REQUIREMENTS.
BUT, UM, I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, VERY SIMILAR TO OUR TRADITIONAL PASSPORT GALLEYS EVENT.
AND I KNOW WE DO HAVE SOME NEW COMMISSIONERS, BUT BASICALLY, UM, AMATEUR CHEFS, LASHING OUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS, HOW TO IMPROVISE ABOUT A HUNDRED TASTINGS SAMPLES, UM, AT THESE EVENTS.
AND, UM, THERE'S A VARIETY OF JUDGING THAT TAKES PLACE IN DIFFERENT COUNTY.
BROLIN'S APPETIZERS, MAIN DISHES, UH, SIDES, DESSERTS
UM, I SIT FOR DINING AREAS OR WOULD BE HERE TO BE OUT OF THE CATEGORIES OVER TIME, THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD, BECAUSE SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE WOULD GET MAD THAT, YOU KNOW, DIDN'T WIN BECAUSE EVERYONE JUST LOVED THAT DISH.
AND SOMETIMES, OH, AND I'M FINALLY BACK UP PROFESSIONAL JUDGES COME IN AND THEN, YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S A BIG THING.
SO THAT'S, I'M SORRY, HERE'S YOUR REPLACEMENT? CAUSE WE ALWAYS HAVE PRE COUNTED AND, UM, JUDGE, BUT, UH, WE GOT PROFESSIONAL, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE THAT HAVE FROM RESTAURANTS AND ACTUALLY IT'S NOT COMPETITIVE.
BUT, UM, AND THEN THEY HAVE A SILENT, UH, UH, AUCTION AND I BELIEVE A LIVE OPTION TICKETS ARE HOW MUCH YOU THINK.
WELL, I THINK, I MEAN, PAT'S BEEN ABOUT 45.
UH, SO YOU KNOW, IT'S AFFORDABLE.
IT'S A NICE EVENING AND OUR AF LATE AFTERNOON AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, IT DOES BENEFIT THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.
SO THEY'RE REALLY EXCITED TO COME BACK.
THEY DID A VIRTUAL OPTION LAST YEAR AND DID PRETTY WELL, BUT THEY REALLY WANT TO GET PEOPLE BACK TO THE MUSEUM.
AND SO THIS CHANNEL, I HELP WITH THAT EFFORT.
SO WE'LL SEE POSTED, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'LL BE HERE BEFORE YOU GO THEN ON YOUR CALENDAR
I WOULD SERVE THAT FOR, AT MY RESTAURANT.
GO INTO YOUR HOUSE FOR DINNER.
IT'S FUN, BUT I THINK IT'S TIME FOR THE WOMEN TO COME IN BECAUSE I THINK THEY WERE THE ONES WHO MADE MOST OF THE DISHES ANYWAY.
WE CAN SKIP THE REST OF THE CALENDAR, GET US, TAKES US THROUGH JANUARY NEXT YEAR, AS WE ADD MORE TO IT, I THINK WE'LL PROBABLY GO AHEAD AND PUT ON THERE.
SOME OF THE BIG EVENTS THAT ARE NOT, UH, HOURS, BUT, YOU KNOW, UM, THAT YOU CAN JUST PUT ON YOUR CALENDAR AS TO WHETHER OR NOT AT SCHOOL DISTRICT CHAMBERS OR BIOTYPE, ANYBODY HAS ANYTHING THEY WOULD LIKE US TO ADD.
I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE, THIS THING ON THE 28TH, BUT THE KIDS, DID YOU SAY THEY'RE COMING TO TRICK OR TREAT WELL? UM, SO CITY CALL WOULD NORMALLY INVITES, UH, WHAT DOES THIS WASHINGTON MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HOSPITAL MISS TO WALK OVER HERE.
UH, BUT BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALLOW A SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS IS ONLY GOING TO BE OUR CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FROM OUR CORE PROGRAMS. AND THEY'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND GO TO CITY HALL GETS REALLY COMPETITIVE, UM, WITH HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS AND ALSO SATURATION INSIDE CITY HALL BECAUSE OF COVID THEY WANT TO DO IT OUTSIDE.
IF THEY'RE GOING TO SET UP WHAT 10 BY 10 TENT FOR EVERY DEPARTMENT OR DIVISION LIKE THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM THAT THEY WANT, WHAT SEPARATE FROM A RECREATION OR IMPLEMENT A TRAINING LIKE THAT.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO DECORATE OFF AND WHOEVER IT SEPARATES IN THE BOTH BEST THE KIDS GET TO VOTE, I GUESS.
WE'RE NOT ENCOURAGING TOO MUCH CANDY CAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HEALTHY.
[00:40:01]
BIT TRICK OR TREATING FOR LIKE EIGHT FOOD SWIPE.AND SO, BUT THAT'S WHEN THE 28TH, SO THEY GET TO DRESS TWICE THAT THE PARENTS LOVE IT BECAUSE THEN THEY GET TO DRESS TWICE, WHEREAS IT BY THE COSTUME.
SO I'M, WE'RE HOPING FOR GOOD WEATHER AT THAT TIME TOO.
BUT IF YOU WANT THEM TO STOP BY AND SEE WHAT ALL THE DEPARTMENTS DO OR OTHER DIVISIONS DO, THAT'LL BE NICE.
I PERSONALLY TALKING TO OTHER BAKER, ARE WE TALKING OCTOBER, OCTOBER 20TH, ALL WEEK.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON SPECIAL EVENTS? YEAH, I DO HAVE ONE ABOUT THE NORTH GATE EVENT, THE TOY.
WELL, THE QUESTION IS, DO YOU DO A TOUR DRIVE OR HOW DO YOU GET THIS DONATION OF MONIES? AND THEN SOMEONE ON STAFF GOES AND SHOPS OR SO, SO DONATIONS OF TOYS, WE GET PARTS DONATED.
WE GOT FINANCIAL DONATIONS WEEKEND, UM, YOU KNOW, IN KIND DONATIONS FROM, UH, VARIOUS, UH, ORGANIZATIONS AND BUSINESSES.
SOMETIMES ALSO SAY THE NORTH GATE, ONCE THEY UNDERWRITE THE WHOLE THING, ALL RIGHT, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN, THEY WANT TO PARTNER WITH US THIS YEAR AND WE WANT TO PARTNER WITH THEM TOO.
AND THEN SO THEY DO EVERYTHING.
WE DON'T DO ANYTHING AT ALL, EXCEPT FOR HELP, BUT THEY UNDERWRITE THE COST OURS.
WE HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING.
SO THAT MEANS ALL THE TOYS OR GIFTS ARE UP THIS YEAR.
WE'RE WORKING WITH SCOTT TO DO SOME OF THE STAPLES, BUT, UM, AND NORTH BEACH PROGRAM IS ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE, YOU KNOW, UM, YOU GET IN LINE AND YOU WAIT IN LINE, WHICH WAS DOWN IN SOME OTHER ON THAT RELEASE, WHICH WILL PROVIDE SOME SUPPORT TO THE RECREATION STAFF THERE AS OUR PROGRAM IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT PROCESS JUST BECAUSE WE ARE SO CLOSE WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE CHURCHES AND OTHER GROUPS OF FAMILIES.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SERVING WHO ACTUALLY BUYS A TOYS, OUR RECREATION STAFF.
WE HAVE CHURCHES THAT DO THEIR OWN SHOPPING FOR SOME PEOPLE WILL COME WITH BAGS OF TOYS AND DONATE TO US.
SOME PEOPLE WILL COME WITH A CHECK.
SO WHICHEVER WAY IS BEST FOR THEM.
HOWEVER THEY WANT RIGHT IN SANTA BARBARA, I WAS A COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATE AND THE STAFF THERE WOULD INVITE EITHER A SORORITY GROUP OR YOUTH GROUP TO GO SHOPPING WITH THEM.
SO THE KIDS GOT THAT VALUE INSTILLED IN THEM.
YOU KNOW, IF THE YOUTH GROUP FROM THE CITY COULD PARTICIPATE, IT DEVELOPS A VALUE IN THEM TO HELP YOUNGER KIDS AND TAKE THEM TO TARGET OR WHEREVER AND GO DOWN THE LIST.
ANY COMMENTS FROM THE STAFF? SO WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT GREAT.
SO THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE.
I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN DUST PICTURES ON INSTAGRAM AND FACEBOOK.
SO HE'S POSTED A WHOLE LOT OF ODDS.
UH, KATHY, YOUR PHRASE THAT YOU RAN FOR SO LONG.
I MEAN, I DID THIS THING THREE YEARS AGO, BUT IT REALLY STILL WASN'T GOOD FOR ME.
IT WAS A NICE COMMUNITY AND WE MISSED THE HORSES.
WE MISSED THE BAND, BUT IT WAS REALLY NICE TO SEE.
UM, CHILD DEVELOPMENT WAS IN THERE.
WE SAW, WE HAD OVER A HUNDRED STUDENTS, THE MUSEUM WAS IN THERE, THE HOUSTON VIDEO WAS IN THERE.
SO WE FELT REALLY GOOD ABOUT IT.
AND WE DON'T HAVE TO FEEL ABOUT IT FOR NEXT YEAR AND THE YEARS GOING FORWARD FOR ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS. SO HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE A GOOD TYPE.
SO, UM, THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING AS YOU SAW OUR LAST MOVIE.
CAN I MAKE ONE COMMENT REGARDING THE FAIR? I JUST WANT HIM TO THAT THE LION'S CLUB GAVE US THESE LITTLE PLAQUES FOR OUR ATTENDING THE COMMUNITY SERVICE KID FOR BEING AT THE PARADE.
SO IT WAS A LOT OF FUN AND I WANT TO THANK THEM.
I FOUND OUT QUICKLY, RIGHT? YEAH.
I WANT EVERYBODY TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
WE SHOULD PUT THAT IN A KELLY'S OFFICE.
WE GUYS CAN HAVE THAT IN YOUR OFFICE.
WE WANT TO GO BY, I HEAR THAT THE OIL G IS ALWAYS OUR MOST POPULAR, SO, UM, THEY'RE SHOWING A MOVIE ONWARD, UM, ON THE, UM, MY SECOND, I DIDN'T GET IT RIGHT.
AND SO IF YOU WANT TO GO BY THERE AND I MENTIONED THE TAMALE FESTIVAL, IF ANYBODY WANTS TO GET INVOLVED IN, ON THE PLANNING COMMITTEE, LET US KNOW.
AND WE TRIED TO GO TO THREE DAYS THIS YEAR.
UM, AND WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DEPLOY THAT NEXT YEAR.
AND, UM, SO WHAT WE DID MAKE IT ON A SATURDAY, SO WE EXPECT IT TO BE MUCH, UM, DIFFERENT BECAUSE THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION OBVIOUSLY ON FACEBOOK, BUT YOU SAW A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKE, OH, FINALLY I GET TO GO.
I NEVER GOT TO GO BEFORE WITH,
[00:45:01]
YOU KNOW, THOSE THANKSGIVING WEEKEND.SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, BUT WE REALLY NEED IT TO BE A HUGE SUCCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DID THE RIGHT THING.
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE ALREADY HAVE THREE BANDS BOOKED FOR SATURDAY.
UM, SO WE HAVE A, THE ALGORITHM OF ALL THE ATLA MAN THAT WILL BE PLAYING AT NOON.
UM, AND THEN WE HAVE A MARIACHI TEAM WAS PLAYING AT THREE 30.
THEN WE HAVE SATURDAY, WE'RE PLAYING AT SEVEN 30 SOMEBODY ELSE.
AND WE'RE STILL FINALIZING, UM, OUR CITY HALL STAGE SPELLING, UM, UH, SEATS THIS YEAR.
SO PEOPLE WANTED TO ASSIGN SEATS THAT WAY.
YOU KNOW, I'LL GUARANTEE THAT, THAT THERE, YOU CAN BUY A WHOLE TABLE.
WE DID THAT TWO YEARS AGO WITH, UH, LITTLE TENTS FOR, UH, UH, EIGHT PEOPLE OR TECHNICAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE'LL HAVE THOSE ON SALE SOON.
SO IF ANYBODY WANTS THOSE, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW TOO.
UM, IT WAS MY FIRST VOLUME FESTIVAL, SO NICE TO HAVE A PARKING SPOT.
PARKING IS A PREMIUM, YOU KNOW, IT IS WHAT IT IS.
UM, SELLING PARKING SPOTS WANTS TO SELL THEM.
UM, WHAT WE WERE DOING IS WE WERE THINKING ABOUT COMBINING SEATS WITH PEOPLE WHO BUY, UM, I MEAN, UM, PARKING SPOTS, BUT PEOPLE WHO BUY THE TENTS THAT MAYBE A 10TH OF EIGHT SEATS ARE TENTS OF WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, THAT GETS TWO PARKING PASSES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TOO.
WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.
UM, WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS YET BECAUSE, UM, THE PARKING LOT THAT'S ON SITE IS, UM, KIND OF A ROBOT THEY WANT FOR THE ARTISTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO IT'S NOT THE, UM, WORK IT OUT, BUT I'LL LET YOU KNOW LIKE GOOD POINT AND GOOD IDEA.
LIKE I KNOW, BUT THE SHUTTLE WILL WORK WELL, TOO.
YOU SAW US, I HOPE YOU SAW THE SHUTTLE AT THE PARADE.
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME WE EVER DO THAT.
SO WE THOUGHT IT WORKED REALLY WELL.
AND UM, SO EVERYBODY MET HERE, GOT SHUTTLED TO THE OIL G AND BLOCK BACK THE MARKETPLACE GIVES US PARKING SPOTS DURING, UM, TH THIS EVENT ALSO.
SO IF WE HADN'T SHUT UP FROM THERE, WE COULD, BUT NOT THAT YOU GUYS WOULD BE THERE.
I MEAN, I KNOW THAT, SO WE'LL FIGURE THAT OUT.
I NOTICED THAT, THAT PEOPLE, YEAH, THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA.
BRANDY, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, AT THE NOVEMBER MEETING, UM, WE WILL HAVE MIRANDA AND SUSAN FROM, UH, UM, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMING TO MEET WITH THE COMMISSION TO TALK ABOUT THE CDBG FUNDING.
SO THERE'LL BE OUR NOVEMBER MEETING, JANUARY, ETC.
SO ANY COMMISSIONER COMMENTS? UM, COUPLE OF THINGS FOR VETERAN'S DAY.
YES, IT WILL BE AT, UH, PORTOLA PARK AND THERE'S GOING TO BE LIVE BAND WITH THE, UM, I BELIEVE IT'S THE S I WANT TO SAY SWING DOLLS, BUT I COULD BE WRONG.
AND USUALLY THEY'RE THE ONES, THE THREE OR FOUR GIRLS THAT GET UP ON THE STAGE AND THEY DO A REAL GOOD RENDITION OF ALL THE TUNES FROM, UM, BACK IN THE ERA.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE BACKED UP BY THIS LIVE BAND AND IT'S SHOULD BE REALLY NICE TO BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, BROADCAST OUT INTO THE CROWD.
UM, THE LIONS ARE COOKING BREAKFAST.
OF COURSE THEY, UM, YOU KNOW, DO THAT FOR US EVERY YEAR.
AND YOU KNOW, SO THEY'VE ALREADY GOT THE MENU GOWN AND GONNA BE RIGHT IN PLACE.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE GALS THAT DO THIS, ROSIE, THE RIVETERS, ROSIE, THE RIVETERS, THEY ARE, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE BOOTH.
THEY'RE ALL DRESSED UP IN THEIR, UM, OUTFITS.
AND THEY GO AROUND ALL OVER AND, UM, DO THAT.
UM, THE, UH, THE QUILT GUILD WILL BE THERE.
UM, AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE A QUILT THAT, YOU KNOW, THE VETERANS COULD COME OR FAMILY MEMBERS COULD COME IN, UM, ACTUALLY RIGHT ON A SQUARE THAT THEY WILL PRESENT TO, UH, A LOT OF THEIR QUILTS GO TO THE, UM, THE VETERANS THAT ARE AT THE VA HOSPITAL.
SO IF YOU GET A CHANCE YOU WANT TO, YOU KNOW, DEDICATE A SQUARE TO SOMEBODY, YOU CAN DO THAT.
UM, THAT IS 11, 11 AT 11 O'CLOCK BREAKFAST WILL BE SERVED AT EIGHT 30 TO 9, 9, 9 30 TO 10 30, RIGHT THERE AT PORTOLA PARK.
[00:50:04]
UH, I DON'T KNOW WHO'S DOING THE TABLES AND CHAIRS, BUT SOMEBODY, I DON'T THINK THE LIONS BRING A, IT'S USUALLY SET UP INSIDE.SO WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT OVER THERE NOW.
WELL, THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE THEIR EQUIPMENT TO COOK, BUT AS FAR AS A TABLE AND CHAIRS FOR PEOPLE TO SEAT TO BE SEATED, UM, I THINK THAT WAS PART OF WHAT WAS COMING FROM THE CITY, BUT WE GOT TO FIND OUT FOR SURE.
NEXT MEETING IS COMING UP, CARRIE.
WE'RE HAVING OUR LAST VETERANS MEETING A COMMITTEE MEETING.
SO IF ANYBODY WANTS TO STOP IN, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO.
AND THEN, UM, IN THE PARADE, DID YOU SEE THE, THE ROCKING BOAT? YES.
FOR CRCC THAT IS FOR OUR FUND, OUR FUNDRAISER WE'RE HAVING THIS YEAR AND TICKETS ARE $5.
IT WILL BE GIVEN AWAY AT THE NORTH GATE ON A DECEMBER 16TH EVENT.
SO WE'RE GOING TO BE SELLING TICKETS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
UM, THERE'LL BE SOME SOLD AT OLG AFTER MASSES EVERY SUNDAY.
UM, THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA HAS ABOUT 500 TICKETS.
SO IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY THAT YOU KNOW WANTS TO BUY ANY, UM, SEE ME, CALL ME, I'LL BRING THEM TO YOU.
I DIDN'T HAVE THEM TODAY, BUT I'LL GET YOU.
UM, CAN I BACK UP A LITTLE BIT BACK TO THE CORN FESTIVAL IS WE WERE WALKING BACK AFTER THE PARADE TOO.
AND WE WERE IN FRONT OF THE CHAMBER MURRAY.
AND, UM, WHAT WAS HER NAME? SHE HAD SAID THAT PEOPLE WERE COMING UP WANTING TO BUY TICKETS.
AND SHE SAID THAT, I GUESS THEY WEREN'T AVAILABLE OR THERE JUST SEEM TO BE, UH, SOME TYPE OF MIX UP.
BUT I THINK I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A SUGGESTION IS, IS IF THEY WOULD SELL THOSE FOR KIND OF A LAST MINUTE PUSH TO, TO, YOU KNOW, WHAT I'M SAYING IS TO INCREASE YOUR REVENUE THERE.
NO, THE TICKETS FOR THE CORN, FOR THE FESTIVAL.
WE ONLY SOLD THOSE A PRE SALE.
IT WAS JUST PRESALE AND IT HAD TO STOP BEFORE THE FAIR OPENED, SO, OH, AND IT WAS ALREADY OPEN? YES, BECAUSE IT OPENS FRIDAY NIGHT.
AND, UM, WE PROBABLY SHOULD'VE PUT A SIGN OUT THERE SAYING FAIR HAS OPENED, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
THE FERRIS WHEEL KIND OF WAS A CLUE, YOU KNOW, IF, UM, THERE'S A CHANCE MAYBE NEXT YEAR, IF WE KEEP THE PARADE THE WAY IT IS, IT'S I SAY WE, IN THE MIND, WE, RIGHT.
UM, BECAUSE WHEN THE FREIGHT ENDED, THE BEAR WASN'T OPEN YET.
AND SO PEOPLE ARE LIKE, OH, I GUESS WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE.
SO WE KIND OF MISSED OUR WHOLE ON THAT, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
YEAH, BECAUSE THE PREY IS USUALLY LONGER.
AND SO LIKE THE STAR WARS, MAN, WE'RE GOING TO STAY AND WALK THROUGH THAT WHOLE PARADE AND THEIR, YOU KNOW, THEIR GALA.
UH, WHAT IF THE PARADE ENDED AT 10 ISH TILL 11.
SO, UM, MAYBE NEXT YEAR WE START THE FREIGHT AT 10 OR SOMETHING.
BUT I DID HEAR THAT THEY WERE A SUCCESS, THE STAR WARS, AND THEY WERE IN THE PARK AND PEOPLE WERE TAKING PICTURES AND WHAT HAVE YOU? OH, GOOD.
CAUSE IT WEREN'T, THEY SHUTTLED FROM THE PARK TO SOMEPLACE.
I THOUGHT THE CITY SHUTTLED THEM.
BUT AFTER AFRAID I SAW MOST OF THEM IN THERE.
SO SOME MAY HAVE GOTTEN THE CAR.
THEY WERE REALLY GOOD BECAUSE THEY LOVE IT.
THEY HAD A GREAT TIME AND HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR THEY'LL HAVE EVEN MORE.
CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WAS MY WHOLE POINT WAS, IS SO THEY CAN MAXIMIZE THEIR REVENUE.
AND BECAUSE HE HAD THIS ONE GUY HAD 80 BUCKS AND I'M LIKE 80 BUCKS IS THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.
WELL THE $80, UM, THAT WAS FRED.
HE WAS STANDING WITH SANDRA AND HE'S, HE SENT ME A TEXT AND HE GOES, ARE THEY SELLING TICKETS? BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE ASKING ME.
AND I SAID, NO, PRESALE MEANS PRESALE.
THAT MEANS BEFORE THE FAIR STARTS.
AND HE GOES, OKAY, I'LL LET THEM KNOW.
AND THEN WHEN I GOT THERE AND HE GOES, YOU MAY NOT HAVE TO GIVE THE $80 BACK, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? PEOPLE WERE CALLING THE OFFICE THROUGH SUNDAY ASKING FOR SALE.
SO I THINK IT WAS THE FREESTYLE PRICE.
WE COULD HAVE HAD A BATHROOM BREAK, GABBY, GABBY.
AND I WORKED WITH BLUE FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
THE LIONS TRIP, THE LINES DRAIN THE CORN FESTIVAL FOR TICKETS ARE PRETTY LONG.
THINK THAT WAS PROBABLY, THERE'S
[00:55:01]
PROBABLY OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE MORE BOOTSY CAN SELL THEM.SO WATCH THE LIONS CHOSE TO DO IT A DIFFERENT WAY THIS YEAR.
AND SO THEY DECIDED TO DO, UM, USE THE SQUARE, SO OFFER, UM, CREDIT CARDS.
BUT, UM, CAUSE WE DID DO CREDIT CARDS BEFORE LIKE THAT.
SO THAT'S FINE BECAUSE IT, MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT GASH.
SO WHAT ALSO THEY WANTED WAS ANY CASH TRANSACTION WAS PUT INTO THE SQUARE, ALSO TRANSACTION BY TRANSACTION, BY TRANSACTION.
SO SEVEN OF YOU CAME UP WITH $20 A PIECE.
I COULD HAVE PUT IT AT ONE 40.
I CAN DO A 20, 20, 20 LIKE THAT.
AND UH, BECAUSE IT WAS NEW THE FIRST NIGHT KATHY'S HUSBAND AND I WORKED AT BOOTH AND IT WAS 14 DIFFERENT CLICKS.
SO IT HELPS WHEN IT WAS WHAT THAT WAS.
AND THEN, I MEAN, IT WAS LIKE EVEN WANTED US AND WE LEARN.
BUT IF YOU BOUGHT A 20, UH, $20 WORTH, IF YOU ARE, YOU ARE ABOUT 20 OF YUKON, YOU BOUGHT $10 WORTH GAVE YOU A 20.
I COULD HAVE JUST BEEN BACK 10.
I HAD ACTUALLY PUT CASH 10 OR 20, SO IT COULD TELL ME, KEEP IT BACK 10.
YOU KNOW, I STUCK WITH THEM PRETTY QUICKLY BECAUSE THEY WANTED EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
HOWEVER, IT'S BETTER TO KEEP TRACK OBVIOUSLY OF AVID TRANSACTIONS.
SO THEY KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY BOUGHT THEM.
BUT IT WAS REALLY FRUSTRATING WHEN SOMEBODY JUST NEEDS ONE TICKET AND I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE MODULE JUST TO DO $1 AND UH, WATCH THE LINES GET BIGGER BECAUSE I STARTED SAVING THOSE WEDNESDAY UP FOR THE NEXT ONE.
THE NEXT SALE WAS THAT I'D ADD THEM TOGETHER.
SO I CALL IT EXCEPT FOR THE CASH GENDERED.
I JUST, WASN'T GOING TO PUT IN THAT JUST BECAUSE THEN YOU COULD SKIP SOME STEPS BY JUST PUTTING, ENTER, YOU KNOW? CAUSE I KIND OF GOT IT DOWN, BUT THEY ALSO DID.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE HAVE YOUR GIRLS THE SAME WAY THAT INITIALLY YOU GOT STRIPPED AT GET TICKETS.
AND THEN AFTER YOU RECO SPENT TICKETS, ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY HAD, UM, PER CREDIT TOGETHER FOR 18.
BUT THAT ISN'T SOMETHING THAT WE ACTUALLY COULD CONTROL THAT COMES FROM THE CARNIVAL GUYS.
THEY GIVE US THOSE TICKETS, BUT IT WAS A LITTLE EXTRA WORK ON SUNDAY.
AND THEN SUNDAY WE WERE GOING FAST AND FURIOUS.
SO THEY WERE LIKE, UH, JUST ONE.
AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED WAS WE HAD WRISTBANDS ON NO CHRISTMAS PARTY, WHICH NORMALLY PRESCRIBES THAT FRIDAY NIGHT.
YOU HAVE WRISTBANDS ON SATURDAY FOR 40 AND THEN ALL DAY SUNDAY, NO COURSE YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW, SORRY THE NAME'S GOT THE FRONT OF THE WINDOW.
SO THEY MADE THIS LONG LINE AND THEY GET TO THE PROP $40 WITH THE TICKETS WHILE THEY GIVE ME A 50.
AND I'M LIKE, OH, WHAT? SORRY, THEY WON'T LET ME TAKE A $50 MEAL.
BUT I WAS LIKE, GIVE ME A PEN, YOU KNOW, I'LL, I'LL CHECK THEM.
AND THEN THEY'RE LIKE, WAIT TIME IN LINE.
AND I SAID, I KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE CASH BOOTH FIRST.
WHAT IF I JUST BUY 50? LIKE THEY WON'T LET YOU TAKE IT.
AND THEN I STARTED SAYING, WELL, WHEN YOU GO TO THE CASH MOVE AND GET CHANGES, COME OVER HERE TO THE CAUSE THERE'S TWO WINDOWS, CASH MACHINE.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK JUST LIKE THE PARADE WE LEARNED A LOT AND WE'LL MAKE IT WE'LL MAKE BETTER NEXT YEAR.
WELL, THE THING WE NEEDED WAS TWO MACHINES BECAUSE THEY WERE TWO PEOPLE IN THERE.
THIS IS, THIS WAS GOOD DIALOGUE BECAUSE IT REALLY DOES HELP REFINE IT.
I MEAN, WERE WE WORKING FAST? KELLY? WE WERE WORKING SO FAST.
I MEAN, I HAD THAT COMPUTER I HAD, THAT WAS PAT.
I HAD THAT THING DOWN IN LESS THAN THREE SECONDS.
BUT WHEN YOU HAVE 32ND CONVERSATION WITH SOMEBODY AND THEN IT TURNED INTO TWO MINUTES BECAUSE THEY TRY TO GET YOUR LIKE, CAN YOU PLEASE STEP ASIDE SO I CAN HELP.
BUT WHEN THEY, WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE THE WRISTBAND, SO THEY HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THE TICKETS, WELL, HOW MUCH DOES HE TRY IT? OR HOW MUCH WILL IT TAKE HIS CLASS? THERE WAS SO MUCH THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO ALIGN, MONITOR TO $40.
WELL, TO BE HONEST, WE REALLY DO NEED OUTSIDE HELP VOLUNTEERS.
UM, I W I'M NOT RECORD SALES, BUT WE HAD, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ROSES FOR YOU GUYS, BUT THE LIONS, THEY GET BETTER THAN THEY HAVE A LONG, LONG TIME.
BUT, UH, IT WAS, IT WAS ALWAYS OVER THE TOP AND YEAH, THOSE LINES WERE LONG.
[01:00:01]
THE ONE THING I NOTICED THOUGH, THAT LINE ON SUNDAY WAS SO LONG AND, YOU KNOW, WE WERE GOING AS FAST AS WE COULD, BUT NOBODY WAS GETTING MAD OR, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T RUN ACROSS ANYBODY GETTING UP THERE, BEING MAD ABOUT IT, EXCEPT FOR THE ONE.AND THEN YES, WORD OFELIA WHO'S IN CHARGE OF ALL OF IT.
SHE CAME IN THERE AND SAW WHAT, YOU KNOW, HOW WE WERE THE TROUBLES WE WERE HAVING WITH THOSE TICKETS.
THERE'S ONLY NINE IN, UH, AND UH, SHE SAYS, GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE 150 STONES SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
UM, MOST PEOPLE REPRESENTED OUT, SO YOU DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES, DEBRIEF FOUR YARDS.
IT WAS FAST BREAK, YOU KNOW, HE'S JUST, HE WAS, HE GOT THE, HE GOT IT DOWN A LOT, BUT UNDERSTANDS THAT THE MACHINE THAT WE'RE USING IS A TOUCH SCREEN.
CAUSE IT'S A, IT'S A, WHAT'S IT CALLED? UM, YEAH, LIKE I, THAT, IT'S NOT THAT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO TAP IT.
YOU KNOW, UH, THEY WERE HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME, BUT FRANK HAD IT DOWN.
SO I, UM, HE, OH, HE, HE SHOULD HAVE A BOARD FOR AS LONG AS HE DID.
OH, THAT ONE'S REFERRED LINE MONITOR NEXT YEAR.
BUT I'M THE LIKELY, I THINK I'LL HAVE A LOT MORE MONEY THAN I NORMALLY WOULD.
WELL, ON THOSE RIDES ON THOSE RIDES.
BUT YOU KNOW, WE CUT IT DOWN TO TWO TICKET BOOTHS.
SO THE MAIN THING NEXT YEAR WILL BE TO HAVE THAT THIRD ONE BACK AGAIN.
AND HONESTLY, IF FIVE PEOPLE COME IN A ROLL WITH $20 WOULD KIND OF SHOULD BE ABLE TO SPLIT A HUNDRED.
UH, I MEAN, I REALLY WAS LIKE, I DID IT ALL RIGHT.
IF SOMEBODY CAME WITH THREE TICKETS, I PUT THREE, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS WHAT I WAS TOLD TO DO, BUT THEN WE, THE BLINDS GET CATALOG.
SO QUESTION IS, SO DOES A CREDIT CARD MAKE IT GO FASTER? NO, MAKES IT IT'S CONVENIENT FOR THE CUSTOMER BECAUSE SO MANY JUST WANT TO USE THEIR CREDIT CARD.
THE ONLY TIME I MADE IT FASTER IS IF I HAD TO GIVE CHANGE.
SO SOMEBODY WANTED THREE TICKETS AND THEY GAVE ME A 20, IT TAKES A, YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE RIGHT.
BUT THE CREDIT CARD WOULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, SAFE, JUST GIVE THAT CHANGE.
BUT, UM, AND WE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE THAT MANY CREDIT CARDS BECAUSE ONCE PEOPLE KNEW, WE NORMALLY ONLY TAKE CASH WHAT'S LOADED DOWN WAS THE NO RISK FACT, THE NOTE FIFTIES OR HUNDREDS, AND PEOPLE GET TO THE FRONT AND EITHER NOT HAVING A CREDIT CARD UP OR NOT KNOWING HOW MANY TICKETS THEY WANT IT SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GO TO ANYWHERE ELSE, THEY'RE LIKE, HAVE YOUR ACCOUNT, YOUR CASH, YOUR RESIDENT, FAVORITE REG, YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY WHAT SLOWED IT DOWN.
UM, BECAUSE IF YOU SAVE $20 AND I'M ABLE TO, EVEN IF IT'S 18 PLUS TWO, IT COULD GO PRETTY FAST.
UM, YEAH, BUT IT WAS STILL A GOOD EVENT.
YOU KNOW, I THINK, UM, YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE EVERYBODY PARKS CAUSE THE COMMUNITY CENTER PARKING LOT'S EMPTY THE ENTIRE TIME.
SO IT DID THAT HISTORICAL MUSEUM.
SO IT WAS, AND THAT WAS EXCITING BECAUSE WE DID GET, UM, ON SATURDAY I GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE TALK THROUGH THAT HAD ALREADY GONE THE, UM, REC STAFF RECORD.
A LOT OF PEOPLE, ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN THAT WALKED THROUGH HIS HOUSE WAS ACTUALLY FEATURED IN RUN WITH THE TRUEST.
HE, YOU KNOW, UM, SHARED ALONG HIS, UM, KNOWLEDGE AND HISTORY OF LAW.
SO I WAS PRETTY EXCITING SUMMER, UM, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO CONTINUE TO GET THEIR INTEREST.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, I WAS GOING THROUGH, UM, WORKING WITH THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY GROUP.
IT WAS A FUN, IT WAS A FUN TIME.
AND I THINK THE LIONS DO LIKE THE CHANGE OF WEATHER.
CAN I JUST TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO INVITE EVERYBODY TO THE STATE OF THE COMMUNITY WHERE ROSE IS SPINOSA WILL BE ADDRESSING THE CITY AND IT IS ON NOVEMBER 3RD AT 11 IT'S A WEDNESDAY AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
ANYBODY ELSE? UM, SO I THINK WE'LL ADJOURN THE MEETING TO WEDNESDAY.
WHAT'S THE DATE? NOVEMBER 10TH AT SIX 30 HERE.
