SPECIAL EVENTS CALENDAR.SO YOU ALL HAVE RECEIVED THE, UH, SPECIAL EVENTS CALENDAR.
IT REALLY HASN'T CHANGED TOO MUCH FROM OUR LAST COMMISSION MEETING, BUT WE DID GIVE YOU SOME UPDATED FLYERS.
THAT INCLUDES THE COOL COPS EVENT COMING UP ON JUNE 22ND.
OF COURSE, OUR JULY 4TH, UM, SPECTACULAR IS COMING UP AND THAT, UM, INFORMATION, THE GATES OPEN AT FOUR O'CLOCK.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FLY OVER FIREWORKS, START AT 9:15 PM AT LA ANITA PARK.
UM, AS IN THE PAST, YOU WILL BE GETTING A WRISTBAND, SOME WRISTBANDS, UM, FOR YOUR FAMILY.
SO WE'LL BE MAKING THOSE ARRANGEMENTS TO GET THOSE TO YOU IN A TIMELY MANNER.
ALSO, OF COURSE, OUR SUMMER CONCERTS IN THE PARK START ON THURSDAY, JULY 7TH, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO FOR, UH, CONCERTS, UH, FOR FOUR CONSECUTIVE THURSDAYS AT PORTOLA PARK.
AS YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR WE HAD QUITE A BIG, UM, RECORD ATTENDANCE.
AND SO WE EXPECT THE SAME FOR THIS YEAR.
SO CERTAINLY WE HOPE YOU'LL ENCOURAGE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO BE OUT THERE.
IT'S A GREAT FAMILY FREE FIND EVENT.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE, UM, RUNNING OR HOSTING OUR CONCESSIONS AND FUNNEL CAKES AND SELLING RAFFLE TICKETS.
FOR COURSE, THE, UH, DRAWING OUT THE CORN FESTIVAL IN LATER IN SEPTEMBER, WE ALSO HAVE SOME GENERAL VENDOR BOOTHS.
WE HAVE OUR CERT TEAM OUT THERE.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CITY BOOTH.
WE HAVE OUR, UH, LAHABRA, UH, PHANTOM, NOT THE HOPPER PHANTOM.
IT'S OUR PHANTOM THEATER GROUP PROJECT.
THERE'LL BE OUT THERE AS WELL WITH A BOOTH AND SOME OTHER, UM, COMMUNITY, UH, VENDORS LAHABRA COLLABORATIVE.
SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT CONCERT SERIES.
AGAIN, THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM WILL BE OPEN FREE FOR ADMISSIONS AS WELL.
AND THEN OF COURSE WE'RE STILL, UM, ACTIVELY RECRUITING AND PROMOTING THE READYSET OSI PROGRAM.
WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THAT.
UM, STARTING JULY ONE, WE ARE GOING TO BE TASKED AND, UM, WITH GETTING 600 BRAND NEW ENROLLMENTS.
AND SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THAT'S A BIG, HEFTY GOAL, BUT THAT'S THE REQUIREMENT BY THE COUNTY.
SO WE'RE GOING TO REALLY BE FOCUSING ON OUTREACH AND ENROLLMENTS.
AND IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY IDEAS OR, UH, LEADS FOR US TO GET A BOLT OF ENROLLMENTS, UM, FOR ANY, UH, PARTICIPANTS THAT FIT WITHIN THESE BARRIERS, PLEASE LET US KNOW.
WE'LL MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO COME OUT AND DO PRESENTATIONS, UM, TO GET THE WORD OUT THERE AND TO ALSO, UM, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE SUPPORTS FOR OUR CASE MANAGERS.
SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO, UM, STARTING THIS PROGRAM AGAIN IN JULY FOR OUR THIRD YEAR, AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAM IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL WITH, UM, THE DELIVERY OF OUR NUMBERS, WHICH WE, WE FEEL PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT WE HAVE SOME STRATEGIES IN PLACE.
UM, AND WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED AS WELL.
I'M NOT SURE IF KELLY HAS ANY MORE ON, ON SPECIAL EVENTS CALENDARS FOR A JUNE AND EARLY JULY.
OUR MOVIES IN THE PARK PROGRAM STARTS AS WELL.
AND I BELIEVE THAT STARTS IN JUNE.
UM, MOVIES IN THE PARK STARTS ON JUNE 17TH.
ANY QUESTIONS? NO, I HAD A COMMENT ACTUALLY.
I DON'T KNOW IF NOW OR LATER, UM, FOR THE CONCERTS IN THE PARK, UH, FOR NEXT YEAR, COULD WE LOOK AT INCLUDING SOME MUSIC THAT'S A LITTLE MORE, UM, LIKE CONTEMPORARY, LIKE NEWER KIND OF MUSIC? CAUSE I, I NOTICED MOST OF THESE ARE I'M SORRY.
CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN? LIKE NEWER MUSIC? WELL, NO, NOT EVEN LIKE NINETIES, NOT EVEN MILLENNIAL, JUST SOMETHING THAT'S FROM, YOU KNOW, THE LAST 20, 30 YEARS AND LAST YEAR.
UM, WE DO CERTAINLY, UH, GO A LOT OFF OF OUR, UM, COMMUNITY SURVEYS THAT WE DISTRIBUTE AND THEN CERTAINLY, UM, BAND AVAILABILITY IS ALWAYS AN, UH, UM, SOMETHING THAT WE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AS WELL AS BAND FEE FEES.
UM, BUT CERTAINLY WE CAN LOOK AT, UH, I WAS JUST LOOKING AT LIKE THE WHITTIER ONES AND THE LAMA MORADA AND THEY HAVE, I MEAN, I'M GUESSING YOU HAVE A PRETTY BIG BUDGET CAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE SOME BANDS THAT SOUND PRETTY INTERESTING.
UM, HIT ME NINETIES ELECTRIC VINYL, LATIN NATION, JUST MAYBE I'LL EVEN GO INTO SOME OF THESE AND CAN BRING BACK SOME RECOMMENDATIONS.
CAN YOU SHARE THOSE CALENDARS PLEASE? ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT? NO.
UH, CAN WE, UH, MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER TWO FOR LOVE OF CITIES, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, UH, KELLY, ARE YOU GONNA SPEAK TO THAT OR YES.
AND SO, UM, I WAS HOPING THAT, UM, COMMISSIONER ROJAS AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TALK A, A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT YOU KNOW, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE DID MEET WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND, UM, HE, HE TOOK A LOOK AT OUR IDEAS AND HE SOUGHT MORE STILL AS A PLANNING COMMISSION, UM,
[00:10:01]
ISSUE, BUT REALLY NOT EVEN PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING DIVISION.SO WHAT HE WOULD LIKE US TO DO IS WAIT FOR THEM TO HIRE THEIR CONSULTANT.
HE, YOU KNOW, HE DOESN'T WANT US TO, YOU KNOW, PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE KIND OF THING.
SO ONCE THEY GET THEIR CONSULTANT, UM, WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO FOR THE LAHABRA SPECIFIC PLAN AND SEE WHAT PATH THEY WANT TO GO, WE CAN INTRODUCE THE IDEA OF THIS TYPE OF AN EVENT, BUT ALSO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL CAPABLE OF DOING A WHY I LOVE LAHABRA ESSAY CONTEST OR COLORING CONTEST OR POSTER CONTEST OR THINGS LIKE THAT.
WE COULD STILL HAVE BOOTS THAT ARE EVENTS TO DO SOME THINGS ALONG THAT LINE.
AND ONCE THEY GET THEIR IDEA OF WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO GO WITH THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF, UM, APPARENTLY WE HAVE, UH, LAHABRA BOULEVARD, SPECIFIC PLAN IS JUST OVER 20 YEARS OLD.
SO THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE PLANNING DIVISION, DECIDE HOW THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD ON A NEW ONE.
AND THEN HOPEFULLY THEY WILL ALLOW ONE OF US FROM ARC COMMISSION TO BE A PART OF THAT COMMITTEE TO ESTABLISH THE NEW SPECIFIC PLAN.
YOU GUYS, SOME OF YOU HAVE SAT ON THE SPECIFIC PLAN COMMITTEE OR THE GENERAL PLAN COMMITTEE, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO I HOPE THAT THEY DO, BUT IF YOU'D LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF ACTIVITIES COMING UP AND YOU KNOW, UH, WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING A BUDGE BUS BENCH AND WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO COLOR BEAUTIFY THE BUS BENCHES AND ART CONTEST.
WE CAN ALWAYS HAVE, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THEMES BE WHY I LOVE LAHABRA.
AND, UM, AND ESPECIALLY AS WE GO UP TO LOVE LAHABRA, WHICH WE'RE CHANGING THE DATE, I BELIEVE IT'S SEPTEMBER 17TH NOW BECAUSE THE SEPTEMBER 24TH, WHERE IT WAS ADVERTISED IS THE CORN FESTIVAL.
UM, CAUSE H THEY DECIDED TO CHANGE THEIR DATE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CHANGE OUR LOVE OF THE HOMBRE.
SO WHILE EXCUSE ME, KELLY FOR INTERRUPTING, WAS THAT THE SEPTEMBER 17? IT'S SEPTEMBER 17.
SO IF, UM, IF YOU GUYS WANTED, KEEP TALKING ABOUT THIS OR BRING IT BACK IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS, OR AS SOON AS WE SEE THAT THE PLANNING DIVISION, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST GOT A NEW DIRECTOR OVER IN COMMITTEE DEVELOPMENT.
SO ONCE SHE'S, SHE'S HIRING HER BUILDING OFFICIAL NOW, AND I THINK SHE'LL BE KIND OF DONE WITH HER REORGANIZATION.
AND ONCE SHE DOES THAT, THEN STAFF WILL TALK ABOUT THEIR CONSULTANT THAT THEY WANT TO HIRE FOR THE LAHABRA BOULEVARD, SPECIFIC PLAN UPDATE, AND THEN THEY WILL BRING IT TO THEIR COMMISSION AND THEN HOPEFULLY THEY'LL INVOLVE US IF THAT'S, UM, IF YOU GUYS STILL WANT TO BE A PART AT THAT TIME.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THOUGH? UM, KELLY, I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I WAS THINKING IF WE'RE GOING TO, UH, I THINK, UM, A GOOD VENUE TO DO THE LOVE OF CITY OF, EXCUSE ME, THE LOVE OF CITIES COMMUNITY IS AT THE 4TH OF JULY AND HAVE A BOOTH.
AND JUST KIND OF, CAUSE THAT'S A PRETTY LARGE VENUE THAT IT SEEMS TO BE WELL ATTENDED.
I, WE DON'T MIND DESIGNING, LIKE I SAID, A COLORING CONTEST OR AN ESSAY CONTEST, AND THEN WHEN THE KIDS GET BACK IN SCHOOL OR FOR SUMMER, OR JUST THROUGH OUR, UM, ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS, CAUSE YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING THE, UH, PROGRAM AT THREE, THE HOPPER CITY SCHOOLS AND TWO, UM, LITTLE JOINT SCHOOLS.
SO WE HAVE HER 9,243 FOR, I THINK, THREE 40 WITH LAHABRA A LITTLE JOINT AND THEN ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE SAME.
SO WE HAVE ABOUT SEVEN TO 800 KIDS THAT WE'RE DOING.
WE COULD ALWAYS PUT THAT AS ONE OF THEIR, UM, UM, CLASSES.
UH, WE COULD STILL DO THAT TOO.
WHY I LOVE IN THE HARBOR THERESA, DO YOU MEAN A SURVEYED AT THAT JULY 4TH OR, UM, OR SOME WAY TO GATHER FEEDBACK FROM RESIDENTS THERE AT GATHER FEEDBACK AND THAT SORT OF THING AND ALSO JUST SOMETHING CREATIVE.
SO THEY KIND OF GET THE CONCEPT.
WHAT WOULD WE NEED TO DO TO PUT THAT TOGETHER? YEAH.
TO HAVE A BOOTH THERE? UM, NOTHING, BECAUSE WE CAN PUT, MAKE IT A PART OF OUR, UM, OUR INFORMATION BOOTH.
SO THAT WAY, IF IT'S NOT STAFFED THE WHOLE TIME, IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IF YOU'D LIKE TO, UM, DO A SURVEY OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO A CONTEST.
AND IF YOU WANT TO PUT IT IN THE KIDS AREA FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR THAT, IF YOU WANT TO STAY WITH JUST THE FAMILIES, IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT, WHAT YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN DOING RICHARD.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU'D WANT TO DO FOR YOUR LOVE OF CITIES? WELL, PROBABLY NOT.
I MEAN, I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT I WASN'T INVOLVED IN THE CONVERSATION WITH THE CITY MANAGER, BUT MAYBE THAT'S THE PROTOCOL.
UM, SO WE JUST WAIT FOR THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO HIRE THE CONSULTANT.
THEN WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP? IS THERE ANY NEXT STEP? NO, BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T EVEN MADE A TIMEFRAME YET, BUT IF YOU'D LIKE, I MEAN, WE COULD SET UP ANOTHER MEETING WHERE YOU COULD PRESENT TO HIM.
IF YOU'D LIKE, I MEAN, WE COULD DO THAT.
SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY ACTION.
I JUST DON'T WANT YOU GUYS WORKING ON SOMETHING IF IT'S NOT GOING TO LEAD TO, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT
[00:15:01]
WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK OKAY.GOING, THIS IS MOVING RIGHT ALONG HERE TONIGHT.
I GUESS YOU ALSO HAVE IN YOUR PACKET, THE, UM, COMMUNITY SERVICES, SUBCOMMITTEE LIST.
UM, WITH PAST ASSIGNMENTS WE WILL REORGANIZE IN JULY.
I REALIZE WE'RE A LITTLE BIT OFF SCHEDULE.
UM, AND PART OF THAT STUDENT IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS WITH COVID.
UM, AND SO WE CAN REORGANIZE HOW THE JULY MEETING.
SO THAT WAY YOU GUYS CAN HAVE A LITTLE MORE TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AND, UM, OR YOU ORGANIZE THAT AND THESE MIGHT NOT BE ENTIRELY CORRECT.
UM, BECAUSE REMEMBER WE REORGANIZE SOME OF THEM, SO IT SHOULD BE THE YOUTH COMMITTEE AND SCHOLARSHIPS IS ONE AND THEN WE HAVE PARKS AND MUSEUMS. SO THESE AREN'T THESE AREN'T THE LATEST? NO.
WELL, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
I'LL BE ON THE AGENDA FOR JULY AND WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT ONE.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS? CAN WE COMMENT? OKAY.
SO I WENT, WELL, I ALMOST GOT TO GO TO, I BOUGHT TICKETS FOR THE CHARLIE BROWN.
HE WAS REALLY GOOD BECAUSE THEY EXTENDED IT A WEEK BECAUSE I ONLY GET MY GRANDDAUGHTER ON ONE WEEKEND A MONTH.
SO WE, WE ALWAYS MISS THINGS, BUT SINCE THEY EXTENDED IT, IT WAS LIKE A JACKPOT.
SO I BOUGHT THREE FRONT ROW TICKETS, SO THERE'S NOBODY IN FRONT OF HER.
SHE WAS SO EXCITED AND THEN I DIDN'T FEEL GOOD.
SO, BUT SHE WILL, MY DAUGHTER, NIKKI TOOK HER AND SHE HAD THE BEST TIME SHE LEFT FIRST THEATER EXPERIENCE.
UM, BUT NICKY HAS SAID THE THEATER WAS ONLY A THIRD FIELD.
THIS WAS THE ONE O'CLOCK MATINEE.
CAUSE IT WAS JUST, IT WAS WONDERFUL.
UM, SOME OF THE ACTORS AND SO THEY HAD TO POSTPONE IT.
I THINK IT WAS A LITTLE OVERWHELMING FOR, UM, UH, MR. CISNEROS, AS YOU GUYS MAY HAVE KNOW, HE TOOK A LITTLE LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
SO, UM, IT WAS A LOT, COVID TRYING TO KEEP BUSINESSES UP AND RUNNING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND WE'RE HOPING THAT, UM, FOR THOSE, WE'RE TRYING TO GET OUR CHILD DEVELOPMENT, UH, PARENTS, EVERYBODY TO PARTICIPATE TOO.
SO, BUT THANK YOU FOR GOING ON.
UM, WE HOPE THAT, UM, UM, THE OTHER SHOWS WHERE MIGHT'VE BEEN BETTER JUST TO RESCHEDULE AND MIGHT'VE BEEN A LITTLE TOUGH AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP PROMOTE IT, BUT, UM, YEAH, ANYTHING, UM, WELL, UH, WE READ POSTINGS ON FACEBOOK AND I ASKED YOU THE NUMBER, YOU GUYS TRY TO DO THAT.
SO IF YOU COULD JUST KEEP DOING THAT, THAT'D BE NICE.
ANYONE ELSE? AS FAR AS COMMENT, YES.
OH, ACTUALLY I JUST AN INVITATION.
UM, AND I REALIZED IT IS THE SAME DAY AS THE COOL COPS, BUT WE ARE DOING OUR AWARDS AND INSTALLATION AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND IT IS ON, UH, JUNE 22ND.
WE HAVE A NUMBER OF AWARDEES THAT ARE WORTHY OF, I MEAN, THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE IN LAHABRA.
I WISH I CAN HONOR EVERYBODY, BUT, UM, 11 O'CLOCK IT'S A LUNCHEON AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND IT IS A WEDNESDAY.
UM, WE ALSO ARE REALLY PUSHING TO GET OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY ACTIVE AND CONNECTED WITH ONE ANOTHER.
UM, NOW THAT COVID IS A LITTLE BIT LESS, UM, OF COURSE IT KEEPS POPPING ITS UGLY HEAD HERE AND THERE.
SO THAT'S BEEN REALLY DIFFICULT, BUT ON THE NINTH, WHICH IS NICK IS THURSDAY, TOMORROW, WE ARE DOING, UH, UH, ZIA ACTIVE WEAR POP-UP IN OUR OFFICE AND IT'S JUST ACTIVE WEAR.
IT'S ONE OF OUR MEMBERS AND SHE'S GONNA PRESENT, WELL, JUST HAVE SOME WINE AND NOT WINE, BUT CHEESE AND CRACKERS AND UM, AND JUST ENJOY EACH OTHER.
AND UH, AND SHE'LL DO HER LITTLE DEMONSTRATION OF HER ACTIVE WEAR.
THEN ALSO ON THE 15TH WE'RE DOING WE'RE RE UH, RE-INTRODUCING THE LUNCH MOB.
AND WHAT THAT IS IS THAT WE INVITE OUR CHAMBER MEMBERS OR ANYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY.
EVERYONE IS WELCOMED TO, UM, PATRONIZE ONE OF OUR RESTAURANTS.
AND THIS MONTH WE'RE GOING TO VISIT A PIRATES KITCHEN AND THAT'S OVER IN THE NEW, UM, COMPLEX AND IT'S CALLED THE ROW ON HARBOR.
AND, UM, IT'S A REALLY NEAT LITTLE AREA AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY WON OUR REVITALIZATION AWARD.
[00:20:01]
RESTAURANTS WHERE YOU DUMP THE FOOD ON THE TABLE AND YOU JUST GO FOR IT LIKE BOMBARD, YOU KNOW, LIKE, OH, LIKE THAT'S NOT ME, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU JUST EAT IT THE OTHER DAYS THAT'S ON HARBOR.WE REALLY WANT TO JUST HELP OUR BUSINESSES IN ANY WAY WE POSSIBLY CAN.
IT'LL BE THE THIRD, WEDNESDAY OF EVERY MONTH GOING FORWARD AND LESS, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING COMES UP AND THIS ONE'S A LITTLE BIT LATER, IT'S GOING TO BE AT 12 BECAUSE THEY OPEN AT 1130.
SO YOU SHOULD, IT'LL BE AT 1130 TO KIND OF BEAT THE RUSH.
UM, ONE LAST THING, GROCERY OUTLET NEEDS A LITTLE LOVE AND UM, I'M REACHING FOR SOME COUPONS.
AND SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO A MIXER THERE.
AND WHAT SHE WAS SUGGESTING IS PERHAPS A SCAVENGER HUNT SO THAT WE GET PEOPLE TO GO INSIDE THE STORE, NOT JUST HANG OUT IN THE PARKING LOT.
WE WANT TO DRAW BUSINESS THERE.
AND SO SHE GAVE ME THESE LITTLE $3 OFF COUPONS AND YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO TAKE SOME AND GIVE THEM TO WHOEVER YOU'D LIKE.
AND THEN SHE TELLS ME THIS IS SUNNY.
AND SHE TELLS ME, UM, I'M GOING TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE COME IN.
CAUSE IT'S GOT A LITTLE BARCODE.
SO COME ON, YOU GUYS HELP ME OUT HERE, BUT I'M JUST SENDING SOME, SOME BUSINESS THEIR WAY.
THEY HAVE A, THEY HAVE A LOT, I HAVE PLENTY MORE.
SO IF YOU'D LIKE SOME MORE, UM, I'M SORRY, WHAT DAYS THAT ARE, THAT IS GOING TO BE ON THE NINTH.
AND IT WILL GET DETAILED AS A LITTLE BIT, BUT WE WON'T MEET PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE IS WHEN YOU WANT TO GO ANY TIME YOU CAN GO AT ANY TIME.
SHE SAID SHE WOULD HONOR HIM AND SHE'LL SCAN THEM AND THE WHOLE BIT, SO, SO YEAH, SHE WAS, I HAVE SOMETHING AND I JUST, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO PUSH IN OUR BUSINESSES AND UM, IN THEIR PARTICULAR CASE, UM, THEY'RE NOT FEELING THE LOVE OF THE COMMUNITY.
AND UM, AND SO THEY HAVE GREAT THINGS, YOU KNOW, UM, A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS AND EVERYTHING I'VE TRIED, ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES THEY'RE LIKE OFF-BRAND OR WHATEVER, NOT SOMETHING I'M MOST FAMILIAR WITH.
EVERYTHING'S BEEN GREAT, THE FOOD, YOU KNOW, EVERY PRODUCT THAT I'VE TRIED.
SO, UM, YEAH, WE WERE IN THERE TODAY AND UM, MA NO, MY SON BOUGHT A HOUSE AND HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
WELL, WE HAD TWO CARTS FULL, YOU KNOW, THINGS, JUST EVERYTHING YOU CAN POSSIBLY THINK OF THAT, UM, THAT YOU NEED TO START A HOME WITH.
SO, SO THAT WAS A NICE LITTLE VISIT AND THEY WERE BOTH THERE.
SO THEY WERE EXCITED TO SEE PEOPLE COME IN AND THEY DO NOTICE SO OFTEN AND JUST SAY, HELLO, CELEBRATE.
AND THEN, UM, I KNOW I'M GOING TO STU I'M, I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED AS RICHARD SAID ABOUT THE, UM, THAT WHOLE IDEA.
ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T FEEL THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY GO FORWARD ONLY BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND IT'S, I'VE HEARD, YOU KNOW, UM, IDEAS GO THROUGH ON THE LAHABRA AND I KNOW IT'S BEEN ON THE RADAR FOR A LONG TIME, SO I WASN'T REALLY SURPRISED THAT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TAKE THE, UM, THE INITIATIVE OR THE FRONTLINE ON PUSHING SOMETHING.
UM, THAT PART OF IT, I WASN'T, BUT WHEN I'M A LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTED IN IS THAT WE WERE REDUCED TO A COLORING CONTEST AND I'M LIKE, OH, WAIT A MINUTE.
FROM IDEAS ARE NOT A COLORING CONTEST.
SO I WANTED A LITTLE GAP IN THIS.
I MEAN, WE COULD HAVE ANY, I MEAN, WE HAD THE FUNDED, BUT IF YOU CAN HAVE AN EVENT, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO, BUT WE JUST HAVE TO STAY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY SERVICES IDEA OF WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A, HAS TO BE A COLORING CONTEST, COLORING CONTEST.
LIKE I SAID, YOU CAN HAVE A BOOTH AT ALL OF OUR EVENTS, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU DO.
I MEAN, WE COULD EVEN HAVE A FULLY BENT IF WE WANT IT, BUT IT CAN'T BE ABOUT THE SPECIFIC PLAN, UM, LAVA BOULEVARD.
IT HAS TO BE COMMUNITY SERVICES RELATED, NOT PLANNING RELATED.
THERE WAS EVEN A SPECIFIC PLAN 20 YEARS AGO.
I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THAT OLD.
YEAH, IT WAS STILL SO ANYWAYS, YEAH, THOSE ARE JUST IDEAS OF WHAT YOU COULD DO TO START JUST TO GET PEOPLE'S EYES AND EARS FAMILIAR WITH THE LANGUAGE UNTIL MAYBE SOMETHING MOVES FORWARD IN THE FUTURE, BUT IT ABOUT PLANNING COMMISSION WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE LEAD, YOU KNOW, RIGHT.
IF I COULD READ THIS, THIS IS THE DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION.
AND I, I BELIEVE I GOT THIS OFF THE WEBSITE WAY WHEN I FIRST STARTED.
SO I THINK IF IT SAYS THE CITY OF THE HARVARD COMMUNITY SERVICES, COMMISSION, ACCENT AND ADVISORY CAPACITY TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON MATTERS RELATING TO PUBLIC RECREATION, CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT, CHILD DEVELOPMENT, AND SOCIAL SERVICES, AND HELPS THE CITY COUNCIL TO COORDINATE WITH LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND OTHER CIVIC GROUPS.
SO I THINK AS LONG IF WE CAN STAY WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THOSE TOPICS, PUBLIC RECREATION, CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT, CHILD DEVELOPMENT, SOCIAL SERVICES, THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH JUST ABOUT ANY IDEA WE HAVE, RIGHT.
IT'S NOT A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
[00:25:01]
WAS MAYBE BOARDING A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH ON THE PLANNING SIDE.SO I KNOW I'M NOT SURPRISED EITHER, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT MEANS THAT WE JUST KIND OF STOP ANY NO, NOT AT ALL.
AND, AND AGAIN, I CAN, I'LL SET UP ANOTHER MEETING, YOU KNOW, WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND I MEAN, I'M SURE YOU'VE MENTIONED IT TO MAYOR MADRANO OR, YOU KNOW, ANY OF THE COUNCIL PERSONS.
UM, I MEAN, WE EVEN OFFERED, UH, DOING A HYBRID, YOU KNOW, UM, A COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION, BUT HE DOESN'T THINK THAT THEY'RE EVEN READY AT ALL TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A PLAN YET.
AND SO HE JUST WANTS TO WAIT UNTIL THERE IS A PLAN.
WHAT, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COMMITTEE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTORS PLAN IS, LET ALONE TO HIRE A CONSULTANT WHO THAT CONSULTANT MAY END UP HIRING THIS GUY TO DO A TEAM-BUILDING MEET MEETING, EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T KNOW.
SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT, UM, PREMATURE FOR US TO EVEN SUGGEST IT.
WOULD JUST STAND IN WITHIN THE GUIDELINES OF OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION.
I THINK WHAT'S VERY MUCH WITHIN THESE GUIDELINES IS THE CENTENNIAL.
AND I KNOW I WANT TO REALLY BE A PART OF THAT PLANNING FOR THAT.
UM, WE'RE STARTING THE COMMITTEE.
I'M ASSUMING THAT THERE MIGHT BE ONE, MAYBE EVEN TWO, IT CAN'T BE THREE, BUT TWO PEOPLE FROM EACH COMMISSION, UM, PEOPLE CAN BE AT LARGE AND BE ON A COMMITTEE FOR, BECAUSE YOU'RE A RESIDENT OR A BUSINESS OWNER.
SO WE HOPE, AND WE ASSUME MOST PEOPLE, UM, THAT ARE INVOLVED WITH THE COMMUNITY WILL WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT.
UM, IF YOU WERE ABLE TO WATCH OUR BUDGET PRESENTATION ON MONDAY, WE DID TALK ABOUT IT.
AND WE DID SAY THAT WE'LL LAUNCH IT WITHIN THIS CALENDAR YEAR.
UM, THERE WAS NO FUNDING FOR IT YET.
UH, WE WERE, WE ASKED FOR $10,000 AS MONEY.
SO THAT WAY WE COULD START WITH, UM, I DUNNO, WHAT WERE WE TALKING ABOUT? YOU KNOW, SOME PROMOTIONAL ITEMS AND SOME, UM, YEAH.
AND THEY TOOK IT OUT SO THAT IT WAS TAKEN OUT.
AND SO, BUT THAT'S OKAY BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT CAN'T BE BROUGHT BACK IN EVENTUALLY, BUT WE ONLY ASKED FOR 10 JUST AS SEED MONEY, YOU KNOW? UM, BUT ONCE WE GET A COMMITTEE, I THINK THEN WE'LL ASK AGAIN AND WE'LL GO BACK AND ASK TO PUT, UM, FUNDING BACK IN THE CITY MANAGER HAS BEEN, UM, KIND OF SOCKING AWAY SOME MONEY FOR THE CENTENNIAL ANYWAYS FOR THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS.
SO WE KNOW THERE IS A BUDGET AVAILABLE.
IT'S JUST, UM, I GUESS THEY DIDN'T WANT TO PUT ANY MONEY IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET YET.
UM, SO WE'RE HOPING THAT ALL OF YOU WILL BE A PART OF THAT COMMITTEE.
AND, UM, AND I MEAN, THERE'LL BE SUBCOMMITTEES AFTER SUBCOMMITTEE AFTER SUBCOMMITTEE, SO, UM, BUT HOPEFULLY SOON, OH, KELLY QUESTION, WILL RICHARD'S IDEA BE PRESENTED WHEN THE TIME IS CORRECT, EVEN THOUGH IT WILL, MAYBE IT WON'T BE FROM OUR CON COMMISSION OR DO WE, HOW DO WE GO FORWARD AND MAKE SURE IT, AT LEAST GETS PRESENTED IF IT'S NOT US DOING THIS? SO WHEN THE PLANNING, UH, OR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MOVES FORWARD WITH THEY'LL HIRE A CONSULTANT AND THAT CONSULTANT WILL DESIGN HOW THEY WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH UPDATING THE SPECIFIC PLAN AND UPDATING THE SPECIFIC PLAN, ENTAILS A LOT OF THINGS, RIGHT.
AND ONE OF THEM IS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
SO WE'RE HOPING AT THAT TIME THEY'LL TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION OUR IDEA.
AND SO IF THEY DO THEN THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD BE, UM, HOPEFULLY IMPLEMENTED, IF NOT THEN, UM, WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT OTHER WAYS TO DO THAT.
AND AGAIN, IF WE COULD DO IT IN A, UM, A COMMUNITY SERVICES WAY AT ONE OF OUR EVENTS OR ART CONTESTS OR, UM, AT THE CONCERTS WITH BOOZE, I MEAN, LOTS OF THINGS.
I MEAN, THERE'S, UM, THERE'S, YOU JUST HAVE TO PUT IT, YOU KNOW, SHOW PEOPLE WHY IT'S NEEDED AND WHY, WHY IT MAKES SENSE.
AND YET, RIGHT NOW IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MAKE SENSE BECAUSE WE DON'T EVEN HAVE, UM, A STAFF IDEA OF HOW THEY WANT TO MOVE FORWARD.
AND SO, ALTHOUGH I THINK IN OUR MIND, WE THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO HELP THEM DECIDE HOW THEY WANT TO MOVE FORWARD, BUT IT'S NOT OUR DECISION.
IT'S NOT OUR COMMISSION'S DECISION.
IT'S THE COMMITTEE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR'S DECISION, HOW THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD AND THEN IN TURN HER COMMISSION SO WE CAN PUT IT ON EACH AGENDA AND JUST SAY, NO NEW, NO, NO CURRENT NEWS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
AND WE DON'T MIND, YOU KNOW, JUST LEAVE IT ON HERE TOO.
BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S, I THINK THE CENTENNIAL BUILDING THAT ALL AROUND THE CENTENNIAL WILL BE A FABULOUS THING BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO BE PART OF THAT EVEN LIKE, I MEAN, JUST CORPORATIONS AROUND THE CITY AND THAT SORT OF THING.
IT WOULD BE A GREAT TIME FOR THEM TO GET INVOLVED AND YOU CAN GET THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED IN WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THAT GOES AND LAUNCH IT, YOU KNOW, I'M HOPING, YEAH.
WE HAVE TO, UM, GET OUR CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE TOGETHER TO EVEN DECIDE WHAT KIND OF ACTIVITIES WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FOR OUR CENTENNIAL.
SO IT'S KIND OF THE SAME IDEA.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO START SOMETHING BEFORE WE CAN MOVE ON TO ANYTHING SPECIFIC.
[00:30:01]
WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO BE ONE BIG PARTY ON JANUARY 20TH OR IF IT'S AN ALL YEAR LONG PARTY OR IF IT'S, THEY JUST ADD SPECIAL THINGS TO EVERY ONE OF OUR EVENTS OR WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, WE ADD TO THE CITRUS FAIR OR THE CORN FESTIVAL AND ADD A HUNDRED ANNIVERSARY COMPONENTS TO EVERYTHING.WE DON'T REALLY KNOW BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE COMMITTEE IS GOING TO DECIDE.
SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE CITY MANAGER MEANS IN THIS, UM, THIS IDEA, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING FOR THE SPECIFIC PLAN.
SO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HOLD A MEETING? RIGHT.
AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HOLD A, UM, UM, WHAT DO YOU LOVE A LOT ABOUT LAHABRA AND, UM, UH, TRAINING AND TEAM-BUILDING AND THINGS.
SO HE JUST THINKS IT'S A LITTLE PREMATURE.
UM, WE COULD PUT ON, UH, THE NEXT AGENDA TO THE, THE CENTENNIAL.
AND, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'LL HAVE ANYTHING NEW BY THE MEDIA IN JULY, BUT BY AUGUST WE WILL, FOR SURE.
THERE'LL PROBABLY BE, UM, ONE COUNCIL PERSON INVOLVED, UM, ONE, UH, AT LEAST ONE OR TWO PLANNING AND ONE OR TWO, UH, COMMITTEE SERVICES, LIONS, ROTARY LIKE THAT.
AND, UM, YOU SPORTS, YOU KNOW, ONE FROM EACH ORGANIZATION AT LEAST INVITATION SENT OUT TO WHO WANTS TO BE A PART AND THEN, UM, AND THEN BREAK IT DOWN FROM THERE.
AND A GOOD IDEA, YOU GUYS COULD START THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK THE CELEBRATION SHOULD BE OURS.
OUR ANNIVERSARY IS A REALLY WEIRD CAUSE IT'S IN JANUARY.
AND SO DO YOU CELEBRATE IT ON JANUARY OF 2025 AND THEN CELEBRATE ALL THE YEAR OF 2025, BUT IT'S KIND OF WEIRD CAUSE IT'S AFTERWARDS, RIGHT.
ARE YOU CELEBRATING IN NOVEMBER YOUR A HUNDRED ANNIVERSARY THAT HAPPENED IN JANUARY, BUT THEN IF YOU DO IT THE YEAR BEFORE CULMINATING WITH A BIG EVENT ON JANUARY OF 2025, THEN IT'S WEIRD TOO, BECAUSE YOUR MUGS ARE T-SHIRTS THAT YOU HAVE, WE'LL SAY, YOU KNOW, SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2024.
AND YOU'RE LIKE, BUT THAT'S NOT A HUNDRED YEARS YET.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO IT'S KIND OF WEIRD FOR US.
AND SO WE HAVE TO START THINKING ABOUT WHAT OUR PLAN IS GOING TO BE OF THAT.
LUCKILY, UM, RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, OUR DEPARTMENT WILL TAKE THE LEAD.
SO THAT MEANS OUR COMMISSION WILL BE HEAVILY INVOLVED.
SO WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
UM, BRIA HAD A CENTENNIAL A FEW YEARS AGO AND KIM, I THINK, WENT AND GOT A LOT OF GOOD IDEAS AND A LOT OF, OH, YOU BETTER NOT DO THIS AS YOU KNOW.
SO, UM, THERE WAS A YEAR LONG, A LOT OF LESSONS LEARNED THEY SHARED WITH US BECAUSE BY THE TIME THE NATIONAL CELEBRATION HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER OR OCTOBER, THEY WERE ALL BURNED OUT.
SO, UM, THEY JUST SAID, PIGGY BACK BY KELLY SAT ON, ON CURRENT EVENTS OR EXISTING EVENTS THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, JUST MAKE THEM A LITTLE BIT BIGGER.
UM, DO A LOT OF GIVEAWAYS, UM, FIRST A HUNDRED PEOPLE TYPE OF THING, YOU KNOW? AND, UM, THEY HAD ANGEL DAY, YOU KNOW, BASEBALL GAMES, FOOTBALL GAMES INCORPORATED.
THEY BOUGHT ALL THESE TICKETS FOR EVERYTHING AND IT JUST WAS TOO MUCH.
UM, AND SO PEOPLE KIND OF JUST WERE OVER IT, YOU KNOW, SIX MONTHS INTO THEIR PROGRAMMING.
BUT, UM, BUT SO WE HAVE SOME IDEAS ALSO THAT WE'RE GOING TO, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, W WE HAVE THE GRANDIOSE BIG BLACK TIE GALA EVENT.
AND SO IT'S RIGHT AT THE HOLIDAYS.
AND SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT INDOORS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WEATHER.
AND SO THERE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THAT, AND THEN WE'RE LIKE, OH, WE'LL HAVE THIS BIG CARBO, BUT WHERE DO YOU HAVE TWO SUCCESSFUL CARNIVALS? AND DO WE REALLY WANT TO, TO DO THAT? YOU KNOW? AND, UM, SO WE HAVE TO WHAT'S THAT A PARADE? OH YEAH, WE ALREADY HAVE IT, THE PARADE, YOU KNOW, SO WE JUST ENHANCE THE PARADE.
UM, I, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT, BUT I MOSTLY, I THINK BECAUSE THE JANUARY DATE, YOU KNOW, IT WAS JUST HARD BECAUSE LIKE BLACK TIE DINNERS ARE GREAT FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE.
AND I MEAN, IT'S, I MEAN, I DUNNO IT WAS A HUNDRED DOLLARS A PLATE, YOU KNOW, THAT EVERYBODY CAN'T GO.
UM, BUT, UM, AT THE SAME TIME, SO YOU DO WITH THE COMMUNITY EVENT AND WE DO ONE BIG CONCERT, SAY FOR INSTANCE, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE TOYED WITH THAT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, JUST DOING A ONE DAY EVENT HERE, UM, SHUTTING DOWN THE STREET LIKE WE DO FOR TAMALE FESTIVAL AND, UM, JUST HAVE, YOU KNOW, FAMILY ACTIVITIES FOR THE WHOLE DAY AND CULMINATING WITH A BIG CONCERT, WITH A DECENT NAME, YOU KNOW, UM, ARTISTS, BUT THEN WE GO, OKAY, SO EVERY TIME WE HAVE A CONCERT LIST, RIGHT.
UM, YOU'RE LIKE, OH, YOU SHOULD'VE HAD THIS PERSON OR YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD THAT PERSON.
AND, UM, AND THEN, SO WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHO THAT BAND WOULD BE TO FOR THAT NIGHT.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF SUGGESTIONS, BUT, UM, UM, W WAS IT LAST YEAR, WE DIDN'T HAVE OUR MARIACHIS RIGHT.
FOR THE FIRST YEAR WE DIDN'T, AND THEN THE COUNCIL'S LIKE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE MONEY ON CHEESE.
SO THEN WE ADDED THOSE TWO, UH, WE ADDED A FIFTH CONCERT LAST YEAR, BUT WE, YOU KNOW, THE, UM, UH, THE CONCERTS COME RIGHT AFTER THE CITRUS FAIR.
AND, UM, YOU HAVE A FULL DAY OF SPANISH MUSIC OR, YOU KNOW, AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
AND, UM, AND WE'RE HOPING MAYBE IT'S A BIG EVENT ON THE BOULEVARD HERE AND IT'S, UM, THREE STAGES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF EVENT, RIGHT.
WE'RE HOPING TO BE ABLE TO UNVEIL WHAT WE'RE CALLING OUR ARTS AND CULTURAL DISTRICT.
SO, AS I TOLD YOU GUYS, WE BOUGHT THESE TWO BUILDINGS OVER HERE, SO WE'RE MOVING HISTORICAL SOCIETY OVER HERE.
WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE IN, UM, A COUPLE OF GROUPS INTO THIS BUILDING OVER HERE, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CENTENNIAL MAP THAT ALLOWS YOU TO, YOU KNOW,
[00:35:01]
TO GO FROM THE NIXON, UM, MONUMENT OVER AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, TO THE ORIGINAL CENTER OF THE CITY OF THE BAILOUT HERE TO THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, TO THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM, THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM, UM, WHAT IS IT CALLED? THE TRAIN STATION IS A HUNDRED YEARS OLD THIS YEAR.SO WE'RE THEN, YOU KNOW, THE KIDS CAN GET STAMPS AT ALL OF THESE LOCATIONS AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A HUNDRED ANNIVERSARY MARKERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT THAT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH TO BE, YOU KNOW, THE BIG CELEBRATION.
SO, UM, WE JUST HAVE TO DECIDE, AND, UM, WE'LL DO THAT AS A COMMITTEE AND HOPEFULLY THE COMMISSION WILL ALL BE, YOU KNOW, APART, AND THERE'S A LOT OF ACTIVITIES.
SO IF YOU GUYS WANT TO GO HOME AND GOOGLE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY CITY, SIR, UM, UH, CELEBRATIONS AND SEE WHAT YOU FIND, YOU KNOW, THAT'LL KEEP US OCCUPIED FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT SOUNDS RIGHT TO RUN A CARNIVAL, YOU KNOW, AND IT PAYS FOR THINGS.
SO I LOVE CARNIVALS BECAUSE IT PAYS FOR THE REST OF THE THINGS THAT YOU DO AT THAT EVENT.
IF WORST COMES TO WORST AND ALL I HAVE TO DO IS BREAK, EVEN CARNIVALS ARE WONDERFUL.
BUT IF IT'S THERE TO TRY TO MAKE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE REST OF THE CELEBRATION, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT.
SO, UM, SO WE JUST HAVE TO, UM, I DUNNO, COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS.
AND, UM, THERE, UH, SOMEBODY ELSE HAD ONE LAST YEAR, A CENTENNIAL, UM, OH, YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS, IT WAS, I THINK THE ORANGE COUNTY FAIR.
AND THERE WAS LOTS OF BIG PROBLEMS WITH THAT TOO.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE COULD LOOK AT THE MISTAKES TOO.
NO, NO, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE CITY MANAGER IS HE TELLS US THAT HE'S BEEN SAVING MONEY FOR A FEW YEARS.
SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DECENT BUDGET, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO GET SPONSORS TO PAY FOR A LOT OF, A LOT OF THINGS.
YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T WANT TO JUST THROW THE MONEY OUT THERE BECAUSE IT IS TAX DOLLAR MONEY.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE INCORPORATING ALL MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY FROM THE YOUNGEST ONE TO THE OLDEST ONE AND EVERYBODY IN BETWEEN.
SO, UM, WE HAVE LOTS OF IDEAS.
I THINK I TOLD YOU THE BUS BENCHES.
I'M GOING TO DO THE BUS BENCHES SOON TOO.
SO LISTEN, THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE WITH THE PARK BENCHES.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE DOING SOMETHING ELSE.
A LOT OF GOOD IDEAS, YOU KNOW, ARE PEOPLE LIKE IN THREE SECONDS, YOU KNOW, I KNOW, SORRY.
UM, YEAH, WE'RE JUST, WE'RE WRAPPING THE BENCHES.
SO WE'RE DOING AN ART CONTEST WITH THE SCHOOLS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR THAT.
AND SO IT REALLY IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE AROUND THE CENTENNIAL.
THE THING IS, I DON'T WANT THEM TO GET STALE AT THE HUNDRED SECOND YEAR.
WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO WRAP THESE BENCHES EVERY FEW YEARS.
SO, UM, BUT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE CONTESTS BETWEEN, AND EACH SCHOOL WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ONE BUS BENCH.
SO JUST DOING THE POSTERS INSIDE THE BUS BENCHES, WE WANT TO WRAP THE WHOLE THINGS SO WE CAN MAKE A NICE, COLORFUL, UM, ART PIECE TO OUR CITY TOO.
I KNOW GOOGLE AWAY LATER, YOU KNOW, OKAY.
DID ANYBODY ELSE HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, OR JUST A REAL QUICK UPDATE ON LAHABRA OUTDOORS PROGRAM, MAYBE KIM COULD FILL IN THE GAPS HERE.
UM, WE WERE STRUGGLING WITH GETTING SIGNUPS FROM THE KIDS.
SO THE BEACH DAY HAS BEEN MOVED BACK FROM THE 11TH, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN SATURDAY TO THE 25TH OF JUNE.
AND I BELIEVE OUR CAMP CAMP OUT IN JULY IS STILL TRACKING FOR THE 12TH THROUGH THE 15TH.
THERE'S A FLYER, A NEW FLYER THAT'S BEEN MADE BY THE STAFF.
AND I CAN SEND YOU A COPY IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SHARE OR OOPS, SORRY.
UM, I'M TALKING TO PARK STAFF ABOUT, UM, RECEIVING OUR, OUR GROUP AT THE BEACH ON THE 25TH TO DO A TOUR OF THE BOSAL CHICO ECOLOGICAL RESERVE.
BEFORE WE GO TO THE BEACH AND THEN AT THE BEACH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE STATE PARK STAFF THERE TO TALK ABOUT AQUATIC SAFETY AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
AND THEN AT THE CAMP OUT, WE'LL HAVE PARK STAFF THERE TO HOPEFULLY RIGHT NOW, LOOK TO LEAD A CAMPFIRE PROGRAM ONE NIGHT AND I'VE TALKED TO DAVID DELEO AND HE'D REALLY LIKE TO INVITE SOME OF OUR SPONSORS FROM THE CITY, MAYBE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CAMP OUT AND LET THE KIDS CELEBRATE WHAT THEY'VE DONE DURING THEIR TIME AT THE PARK.
SO ANYTHING ELSE, KIM? UM, NO RICHARD, BUT WE APPRECIATE ALL YOUR TIME AND SUPPORT IN HELPING US PULL THIS PROGRAM TOGETHER.
UM, NOW THAT SCHOOL'S OUT, WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT BETTER, UM, OPPORTUNITY TO REACH KIDS.
I THINK THEY WERE JUST LOOKING TO GET OUT OF SCHOOL PARENTS WEREN'T QUITE READY TO COMMIT, UM, TO THIS SATURDAY.
SO, UM, AND WHEN WE REACHED OUT TO SOME OF OUR PARTNERS AS WELL, UM, TO HELP WITH RECRUITMENT.
SO WE WERE THINKING THAT PROBABLY WHEN WE WROTE, WE MADE A FLYER OUR FAULT WHERE IT SAID BEACH TRIP, PEOPLE LIKE EIGHT TO FIVE, YOU KNOW? AND, UM, SO IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN A BEACH TRIP, RIGHT.
AND SO WE WANT TO NOW, UM, HIGHLIGHT THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE TOUR OF THE ECOLOGICAL AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, UH, EXPERTS TELL US THINGS.
SO IT'S NOT JUST A BEACH TRIP THAT SAYS EIGHT TO FIVE.
AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO, UM, MARKET IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY NOW.
AND, UM, SO WE'VE, UM, WE'VE ALSO INVITED, UM, LIKE THE LEOS WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THE SCHOOLS AND, UM, UP TO 17 YEARS OLD TO NOW,
[00:40:01]
RIGHT.TO TRY TO MAKE SURE, UM, THAT WE'RE, WE'RE GRABBING A GOOD AUDIENCE.
THAT'S WHEN IT GETS SOMETHING OUT OF THE, UH, THE BEACH TRIP.
AND SO, UM, I THINK NOW THE NEW FLYER, IT'S A LITTLE, WHAT DOES THAT, WHAT DOES THE TITLE NOW CALLED? THIS IS STILL SAY BEACH TRIP, UH, BEACH AND PRE-CAMPAIGN EVENT.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW IT'S MORE THAN JUST GOING TO THE BEACH FROM EIGHT TO FIVE.
AND, UM, WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT TOO.
AND AGAIN, FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND, THE FIRST WEEKEND OUT OF SCHOOL AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT OUR FAULT.
THE NEXT WEEKEND IS FATHER'S FATHER'S DAY, WEEK ONE, LAST THING, KIM, I NEED TO CHECK IN WITH YOU AND KATIE.
MAYBE I HAVE A CONTACT FOR REI, SO WE NEED TO NAIL DOWN THAT LIST OF THINGS WE WANT TO PUT IN THE BACKPACKS.
THEY MIGHT HELP US OUT WITH THOSE THINGS.
RICHARD, HAVE YOU TRIED THE BOY SCOUTS AND GIRLS? ACTUALLY, THE CITY IS NOT THE LEAD ON RECRUITING.
I THINK WE'RE AT THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB NOW MAYBE HAVE, UH, AN OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB SOME KIDS FROM THEIR FAMILIES FROM THEIR, BECAUSE THE BOY SCOUTS AND GIRL SCOUTS, I WAS JUST THINKING LIKE THEIR BADGES, IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT THEY CAN EARN DOING THOSE SORT OF, UM, ACTIVITIES.
YES, ACTUALLY, KATIE AND I DISCUSSED THAT YESTERDAY.
UM, REACHING OUT TO BOTH, UH, BOY SCOUTS OR SCOUTS AND GIRL SCOUTS.
UM, UM, SO IF WE DON'T HAVE THE CONTACT THAT YOU USE FOR THE, UM, SUCH AS FAIR, OR IF IT'S THE SAME ONES THAT THE LIONS HAVE, WE'LL MAKE SURE WE GET, BECAUSE ALLIANCE SPONSOR THE CUB SCOUT GROUP.
HAS THIS BEEN SHOWED YET ON? CAUSE I HAD SHARED THE OLD FLYER.
WELL THE NEW ONE BE POSTED SO WE CAN SHARE THAT WITH A NEW DATE IT'S BEEN POSTED AND THEN WE CAN SEND IT TO YOU.
ALSO, SOME OF THE SCHOOLS ARE IN SUMMER SCHOOL NOW, LIKE WASHINGTON.
SO IS THERE A WAY TO GET THEM THE INFORMAL? SO WE WAIT KELLY OR KIM AND KATIE I'VE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH A SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET MORE.
UM, WHAT'S THE WORD ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR, OUR, UM, UH, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER WHO REALLY KIND OF PROMOTED THIS IDEA TO BEGIN WITH, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF WE'RE GETTING MUCH TRACTION OUT OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WHAT ABOUT GOING DIRECTLY TO THE PRINCIPALS? WOULD HE ACTUALLY WAS AT ONE OF OUR MEETINGS.
I ACTUALLY, WE, WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE COMMUNITY.
WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH COMMUNITY OUTREACH LIAISONS AT BOTH OF THEIR SCHOOLS.
UM, WE DID ASK IF THEY COULD POSSIBLY HELP COLLECT THE REGISTRATION FORMS FOR US, JUST BECAUSE IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS TO DROP ME OFF, YOU KNOW, TO THE COMMUNITY LIAISON.
SO THEY WOULD NOT DO THAT FOR US.
THEY, THEY SAID THEY HAD TO COME TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
SO THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A LOST IN COMMUNICATION.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE THOUGHT WE HAD A LOT OF MOMENTUM GOING, UM, EARLY ON, BUT, UM, WE ARE ON CAMPUS FOR SOME OF THOSE ARE ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS. AND SO, UH, KATIE WAS, WE WERE DELIVERING FLYERS TO THOSE PARTICIPANTS THAT ARE IN THE SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAM AND SUMMER SCHOOL.
I WAS JUST LOOKING AT MY TEXTS BECAUSE THEY WERE SENDING ME PICTURES FROM THE, UM, GRADUATION STILL.
DO YOU LIKE YOUR STAFF FOR THE YEAR DOING IT? WELL, THE CITY HAS THE LEAD FOR YEAH.
PARKING, SOME OF THE PARKING, SOME OF THE PARK AND REC STAFF WILL BE GOING TO THE BEACH.
WE'RE NOT REALLY RECRUITING FOR VOLUNTEERS RIGHT NOW UNTIL WE GET A HEAD COUNT ON THE KIDS.
UM, AFTER WE GET OUR COUNT OF, UH, REGISTRATION, WE HAVE ALREADY, UM, EARMARKED, YOU KNOW, X AMOUNT OF SPOTS FOR CITY STAFF, RECREATION, STAFF TO ATTEND.
AND THEN DEPENDING ON, UM, OUR MEMBERS, THEN WE WOULD HAVE SOME, UM, UH, ROOM FOR VOLUNTEERS AND CHAPERONES TO GO, OKAY.
THE LIONS HAVE EXPRESSED THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO LEOS TO ALSO BE CHAPERONES OF A POSSIBLE.
SO MAYBE YOUNGER ONES COULD BE PARTICIPANTS IN THE OLDER ONES COULD BE CHAPERONES.
I, THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE I HAVE THIS YOUNG MAN, HE'S A FRIEND OF MY SONS, BUT HE HAS WORKED AT A BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB A LONG TIME AND HE'S BILINGUAL AND HE'S, YOU KNOW, A HIKER AND HE'S JUST LIKE THE OUTDOOR, YOU KNOW, QUINTESSENTIAL OUTDOORSMAN.
SO IF YOU WANT SOMEBODY LIKE THAT AND REALLY GOOD WITH KIDS BECAUSE HE'S WORKED AT THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, IS THAT SOMETHING KATIE OR QUINTIN COULD COORDINATE, COULD PEOPLE TALK TO THEM? AND SO, AS WE KNOW, AS KIM WAS MENTIONING THAT AS REGISTRATION COMES IN, BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS WHOLE PROCESS FOR VOLUNTEERS TOO.
SO THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE DON'T WANT IT.
WE LOVE VOLUNTEERS, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH OUR, OUR BACKGROUND AND THINGS LIKE THAT BECAUSE THERE'LL BE WITH CHILDREN OF COURSE, OVER THE WEEKEND OR, UM, OVERNIGHT, UM, THREE NIGHTS.
WE JUST HAD A MEETING WITH HR THIS MORNING ON OUR YOUTH VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS OR YOUTH COMMITTEE AND WHAT WE HAVE TO DO WITH THEIR BACKGROUNDS TOO, BUT WE'D LOVE VOLUNTEERS.
UM, YEAH, BECAUSE I WAS THINKING HE PROBABLY ALREADY HAS A BACKGROUND CHECK AND HAS BEEN LIVE SCANNED I'M SURE.
BECAUSE HE WORKED AT A BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB.
IT WOULD JUST HAVE TO BE CURRENT AS WELL.
BECAUSE I KNOW SOMETIMES LIVE SCANS ARE, UM, LIKE IF, IF I DID IT FOR THE SCHOOL, I'D
[00:45:01]
HAVE TO DO IT FOR THE SCHOOL.AND IF I DID IT FOR MY CHURCH, I'D HAVE TO HIT AND GET A LIFESCAN FOR MY CHURCH, EVERYTHING YOU'RE INVOLVED IN.
I MEAN, AS YOU KNOW, THE NEW RULES ARE THAT YOU, UM, CAN SUE 40 YEARS LATER, RIGHT.
AND SO THE CITY IS JUST BEING ULTRA VIGILANT RIGHT NOW AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THERESA GO AHEAD AND SEND ME HIS INFORMATION OR HAVING CONTACTED.
I'M GOING TO REACH OUT TO HIM AND ASK HIM IF IT'S SOMETHING HE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN FIRST BEFORE I PASS THAT ALONG.
DOES THAT SOUND GOOD? THAT'S GREAT.
ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SPEAK? I'M SORRY.
I WAS JUST MAKING A NOTE HERE.
ARE YOU GOING TO CATCH THE BABIES 60 IN THIS GROUP, BUT I DO HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE OFFICE.
I TOLD HER, I CALL HER AND I'LL TAKE, THE STAFF WERE GREAT OVER THERE RATHER THAN KIDS LOOK GREAT.
SO YOU MUST STOP PRESCHOOL GRADUATION PART DAY PRESCHOOL AT 7:00 PM.
IT STARTED THE, UM, UH, THE LAST SESSION.
UM, THEY JUST DECIDED TO DO THIS MONDAY.
SO WE DECIDED TO DO THE PARENTS OFF SITE.
ARE WE READY TO ADJOURN OUR MEETING? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY.
UM, LET'S ADJOURN OUR MEETING TO WEDNESDAY, JULY 3RD.
I WOULD LIKE TO ADJOURN OUR MEETING TO WEDNESDAY, JULY 13TH, 2022 AT 6:30 PM.
