[III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES]
          [00:01:14]
          WE ACTUALLY HAVE A MEETING WITH THEM THIS WEEK, AND WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU ALL THE PLAN FIRST TO HAVE A LOOK AT AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO IT'LL PROBABLY BE NEXT MONTH THAT WE'LL END UP HAVING IT HERE FOR APPROVAL AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I DON'T KNOW, IT ENDED UP BEING 200 AND SOME PAGES, SO IT'S A LOT TO GO THROUGH. SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS EVERYTHING WE WANTED BEFORE WE WERE EVEN GOING TO LOOK FOR APPROVAL. SO OUR APOLOGIES WERE A LITTLE BEHIND ON THAT, BUT WE WANTED IT DONE RIGHT. SO SO THAT KIND OF SOUNDS LIKE UNFINISHED BUSINESS TOO. BUT IS THERE ANY. YEAH, YEAH. AND THAT'S WHERE IT WAS GOING TO BE IS UNFINISHED BUSINESS. OKAY. WE'LL DO THAT NEXT MONTH. ALL RIGHT. NEW BUSINESS. I THINK WE'RE GOING 
          [3. Play it Forward - New Event Application]
TO MOVE. PRINCE CARL IS HERE TONIGHT. WE'LL PUT HIS ON FIRST A NEW EVENT APPLICATION HERE. 
          IT'S GOING ACTUALLY, CARL, WHY DON'T YOU JUST COME UP AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU CAN KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT YOUR EVENT IS. YOU CAN SIT DOWN AND THEY CAN SHOOT QUESTIONS AT YOU. AND GREETINGS. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. MY NAME'S CARL JUNG. I'M A RESIDENT UP HERE IN MILLBROOK, AND WE'RE PUTTING ON A FUNDRAISER FOR KIDS IN SCHOOL AND OUT OF SCHOOL, BUT FOR MUSIC AND SPORTS, WE'RE WE'RE SEEING A REDUCTION IN SOME OF THE SCHOOLS NOT BEING ABLE TO PUSH THE AGENDA. MY SON WENT TO STILLWATER, LILY, THEN THE JUNIOR HIGH AND THEN, OF COURSE, JUST GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL LAST YEAR. AND WE DID FIND HIM A PLACE AT GUSTAVUS. SO THAT'S GOOD. BUT SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS WE'RE TRYING TO PLAY IT FORWARD. AND IT'S SORT OF A DOUBLE ENTENDRE IN THAT YOU CAN PLAY IT FORWARD WITH MUSIC AND YOU CAN PLAY IT FORWARD WITH SPORTS. I'M MY MY BACKGROUND IS ROCK AND ROLL. SO I'VE BEEN A SINGER AND A SONGWRITER FOR ALL THESE YEARS. I HAVE A NUMBER OF BANDS. ONE'S ONE'S CALLED THE SILVER BULLET BAND. IT'S A BOB SEGER TRIBUTE, AND WE'RE ALWAYS AT THE FREIGHT HOUSE OR PLACES LIKE THAT. ANOTHER ONE IS CAPTAIN CARL AND HIS CASTAWAYS, AND WE DO YACHT ROCK AND ALL THIS. SO OUR PLAN IS TO HAVE A GOOD NUMBER OF SPONSORS TO TO COME IN AND HELP US DEFER THE PRICE OF THE BANDS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S WHEN YOU HAVE MUSICIANS PLAYING, THEY NEED TO GET PAID. SO WE'LL DO THAT. WE HAVE OUR OWN STAGE, OUR OWN LIGHTS AND OUR OWN SOUND SYSTEM. SO THAT WILL DEFER A HUGE AMOUNT. THAT CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO $10,000, AS WE ALL KNOW. SO THAT'S, THAT'S ALL OF OUR OWN EQUIPMENT. I'M PARTNERED WITH A COUPLE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE AREA HERE. 
          AND SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS HAVE THE NORTH PAD DOWN THERE AS OUR STATION THAT WILL BE AT WILL CONSTRUCT THE STAGE, SOUND, LIGHTING AND EVERYTHING. AND THEN I WOULD IMAGINE AS I'VE BEEN TALKING TO THE BANDS TO TRY TO GET US FROM MAYBE 1 TO 10, I DON'T. YEAH, THAT'S A CRUDE KIND OF. ALCOHOL IN THE RIVER. THAT'S GOOD. NO, WE HAVE TO SUBMIT WITH THE TERRITORY. 
          RIGHT, RIGHT. SO YEAH, IF WE CAN, IF WE CAN DO THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I'D LIKE TO I'VE BEEN CONTACTING FOOD TRUCKS AND OTHER VENDORS THAT WOULD WOULD LIKE TO COME IN. IF YOU KNOW OF ANY. PLEASE SEND THEM OUR WAY. THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE THE COMMUNITY REALLY OUT IN FORCE TO, TO SEE THIS AND BE A PART OF IT. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME PRESENTATIONS OF MUSICAL EQUIPMENT TO A COUPLE OF, OF GROUPS IN TOWN. THERE'S A COUPLE THERE'S ONE COMING UP 
          [00:05:05]
THIS WEEKEND AND THE NAME ESCAPES ME, BUT IT'LL BE DOWNTOWN AND WE'RE GOING TO GRAB ONE OF THE BANDS THAT'S THERE THIS WEEKEND AND HAVE THEM ON STAGE WITH SOME OF THE PROFESSIONALS AND SEE IF THEY CAN'T WORK TOGETHER AND HAVE SOME FUN UP THERE TOO. SO. IS THAT READ A FENCE? NO, THAT'S JUST FOR THE IF YOU APPLY FOR AN ALCOHOL TEMPORARY LICENSE, IT HAS TO SHOW ON THE MAP WHERE YOU INTEND. SO I HAD JUST ADDED THIS BECAUSE BETH AND AND ADMIN NEEDED TO SEE ALL THAT STUFF. SO THAT WAS JUST AN ADDITION THAT I DID ON HERE, ASSUMING THE AREA FOR. BUT WE DON'T MAKE THEM FENCE ANYMORE. IT'S ALL BECAUSE IT'S EVERYTHING. YEAH, IT'S ALL THE SIGNS AND ALL YOU HAVE TO SIGN THAT THERE'S NO LIQUOR BEYOND HERE BECAUSE IT IS LEGAL TO DRINK IN THE PARK. SURE. YEAH. SO SORRY IF I MISSED THIS. IT'S A FUNDRAISER. 
          ARE YOU SELLING TICKETS? NO, NO, IT'S A FUNDRAISING FROM, LIKE, THE FOOD AND CORRECT THE FOOD. 
          AND ALSO, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT A RAFFLE. I DON'T THINK SO. THAT'S THAT GETS INTO STICKY. 
          STICKY. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE CORPORATE FUNDING AND, AND THAT TYPE OF THING AND DONATIONS THAT WE CAN GATHER. RIGHT. I'VE GOT FENDER, WHICH IS A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT COMPANY THAT I, I, I WAS A MANUFACTURER'S REP IN THE, IN THE AREA FOR TEN, 12 YEARS. AND I KNOW ALL OF THESE GUYS FROM ALL OF THESE MUSICAL MANUFACTURERS. AND I'VE BEEN CALLING THEM SAYING, I NEED THIS, THIS, THIS AND THIS. SEND YOUR LOCAL GUY WITH 20 GUITARS OR A DRUM SET OR TRUMPETS AND SAXOPHONES AND EVERYTHING. AND THEY'VE THEY'VE ALL AGREED TO DO THAT. OF COURSE, IT'S GOING TO BE A WRITE UP ON THE ON THEIR WEBSITE, HOW WONDERFUL THEY ARE GIVING ALL OF THIS PRODUCT TO THESE NEEDY CHILDREN. SO WE ALWAYS KIND OF TUG AT THEIR HEART STRINGS THAT WAY. SO YES. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED INVITING LIKE THE STILLWATER HIGH SCHOOL JAZZ BAND OR BAND OR ORCHESTRA OR SOMETHING TO COME AND, AND DO A LITTLE BIT OF PLAYING THEMSELVES? YES, THAT'S, THAT'S ON THE AGENDA. ALSO, MY SON WAS IN CHOIR, SO I'VE ASKED MISS MITCHELL IF SHE'LL COME DOWN AND DO SOME OR I REACHED OUT TO HER. SO OKAY, THEY'LL HAVE THAT. THAT'D BE COOL. THAT WOULD BE FUN TO BE ON A LARGE STAGE AND HAVE THE WHOLE. YEAH, YEAH. SO HOW COME? SO WHEN I FIRST READ THIS, I SAW AMPHITHEATER AND I, MY HEAD IMMEDIATELY WENT TO PIONEER PARK BANDSHELL, WHICH APPARENTLY IS NOT WHAT YOU MEANT. NO IT'S NOT. I COME JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE DOWNTOWN. AND WE HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL BANDSHELL AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT BEFORE WE DO, I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, THE AMPHITHEATER WOULD BE NICE, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT IT IS AGAIN, NOW WE'VE GOT PARKING AND WE'VE GOT FOOD TRUCKS AND WE'VE GOT I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WOULD, YOU KNOW, HOLD ON HERE TO YOU HAVE 1500 PEOPLE ESTIMATED. THAT'S WHAT I'M NOT QUITE SURE PIONEER COULD HANDLE THAT. THAT'S THE OTHER THING. YEAH. SO SO I HAVE A QUESTION. IF THEY'RE ALL THERE AT ONCE THAT'S ON 4TH OF JULY. THERE'S PROBABLY AT LEAST. WELL THAT'S A WHOLE NOTHER. YEAH. THAT'S A GOOD POINT. I HAVE A QUESTION. WHY DOWNTOWN VERSUS AT THE SCHOOL? BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SCHOOL, RIGHT. AGAIN, THE THE NUMBER OF FOLKS I THINK I MEAN, IF WE COULD USE THE FIELD AT THE SCHOOL. YEAH I'M THINKING THE FOOTBALL. YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT. BUT AGAIN, WE HAVE A BACKGROUND THAT IS UNPARALLELED IN THE MIDWEST. SO THAT, THAT I THINK AGAIN, TO JUST TO DRAW IT DOWNTOWN AND MAYBE, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY THIS IS A YEARLY EVENT. THE FOLKS THAT I'M TALKING TO AND PARTNERING WITH THIS, I'VE ALWAYS FOUND THAT, THAT WHEN MY SON DID HIS PIANO RECITAL, HE, WE HAD TO RENT THE CHURCH. WE HAD TO GO TO PEOPLE'S HOMES TO GET LESSONS. 
          THERE'S NOT ANY LESSON PLACE AND RECITAL PLACE AND CONCERT PLACE IN TOWN. SO THE FOLKS THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH ARE, THEY BUILD REHABILITATION CENTERS AROUND THE NATION AND THEY LOVE THIS TYPE OF THING. SO MY HOPE IS IN THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS, WE CAN RAISE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUILD A RECITAL HALL, CONCERT HALL LESSON SPOT FOR KIDS THAT CAN, AND THE KIDS THAT CAN'T AFFORD IT CAN GET FREE LESSONS. BEING A MUSICIAN ALL MY LIFE, I, I FEEL AND I KNOW THAT IN MUSIC AND IN SPORTS, IT TAKES YOU TO ANOTHER PLACE, GOOD OR BAD. MOST OF THE TIMES, 99% OF THE TIME IT'S GOOD. AND YOU LEARN HARD LESSONS, ESPECIALLY IN SPORTS. 
          WHEN YOU DO LOSE, YOU LEARN TO LOSE GRACIOUSLY, AND WHEN YOU WIN, YOU WIN GRACIOUSLY. 
          PLAYING MUSIC AND SINGING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE IS JUST THE GREATEST FEELING IN THE WORLD. 
          SO I WANT TO SHARE THAT WITH THE KIDS THAT THAT NEED IT THE MOST. SO HAS THIS BEEN DONE BEFORE? LIKE LIKE THE 1500? WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? THAT WAS A, THAT WAS A, A, AN EDUCATED ESTIMATE BECAUSE OF THE MUSICIANS THAT WE DO HAVE INVOLVED WOULD BE HOPEFULLY ABLE TO DRAW. WE'RE USING TRIBUTE BANDS AND TRIBUTE BANDS THAT WE'RE USING. ALWAYS PULL 
          [00:10:05]
IN A GREAT NUMBER OF FOLKS. AND BECAUSE OF THE, THE, THE GENRE OF TRIBUTES, WE GET THE PEOPLE THAT ARE OF 40 TO 80 YEARS OLD AND THEY DON'T WANT TO COME AND SEE ONE SHOW. THEY WANT TO COME AND SEE 4 OR 5 IN A ROW, AND THEY'LL THEY'LL SPEND THE DAY AND THEY'LL SPEND THE MONEY THAT THEY HAVE ON, ON HELPING, I THINK, IN THE LONG RUN. SO YES. SO A LITTLE BACKGROUND. I LOVE WHAT YOU'RE DOING, TRYING TO DO. I THINK WE GET A LOT OF. TO YOUR COMMENT ON. THERE'S A LOT OF INTEREST IN BEING DOWNTOWN. EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE DOWNTOWN, BUT THAT ALSO LEADS TO A LOT OF EVENT PRESSURE. SO THIS IS WHERE THAT QUESTION'S COMING FROM. AND JUST TO BUILD OFF OF COMMISSIONER LEHMAN'S QUESTION, HAVE YOU CONSIDERED OTHER LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY? YEAH, WE I MEAN, AGAIN, THE HIGH SCHOOL WOULD BE A GREAT ONE. EVEN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL FIELD WOULD BE GREAT. SO THERE'S OTHERS. THE DOWNTOWN IS SUCH A DRAW AND NOT ONLY FOR US, THE CITY, BUT WISCONSIN. AND, AND. WHEN WE WHEN WE DO SHOWS, WE DO SHOWS DURING THE WINTER, OUR OUR BUSIEST TIME IS WINTER FROM PROBABLY SEPTEMBER THROUGH MARCH. AND WE DO THOSE ALL INDOORS. WE DON'T DO ANY DURING THE SUMMER BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO BE INDOORS. WE LOOKED AT THE DOWNTOWN SECTION BECAUSE WHILE ANOTHER PLACE WOULD BE VERY LARGE AND VERY OPEN, IT AGAIN DOESN'T HAVE THAT BACKDROP. IT DOESN'T HAVE THAT FEEL OF THE OF THE, THE RIVER AND, AND THE COMMUNITY OF STILLWATER. IT'S JUST A FIELD. WE HAVE THEY HAVE FIELD OF DREAMS COMING UP A FIELD OF BANDS. AND THAT USUALLY DRAWS PRETTY WELL UP IN THE WASHCO. THE FIELD OUT THERE. 
          YEAH. THE FAIRGROUNDS. YEAH. THE FAIRGROUNDS, I'M SORRY, UP THERE. THAT'S, THAT'S COMING UP. 
          AND THAT DRAWS WELL, BUT IT'S JUST, IT'S A ONE AND DONE WHERE I THINK IF WE CAN DRAW PEOPLE DOWNTOWN, IT CAN ALSO HELP THE LOCAL VENDORS AND THE STORES THAT ARE DOWN THERE TO MAYBE GAIN SOME, SOME SALES ON THAT DAY. SO ARE YOU LOOKING AT SPONSORS? I'M SORRY, DOWNTOWN. 
          YES YOU ARE. YES. SOME LOCAL SPONSORSHIP TO THAT. SO THEY WOULD HAVE THEIR NAME SEEN. 
          EXACTLY. SO OKAY. YES. SO THE STAGE WILL BE 24 BY 36. SO IT'S A GOOD SIZE STAGE. IT'LL BE ABOUT 4.5FT OFF THE GROUND. THERE'LL BE A VIDEO WALL ON THE BACK SCREEN, BACK WALL THAT WILL WILL BE 24FT WIDE, 12FT HIGH. AND IT, THEY'LL BE SMALLER ONES TOO. SO IF WE CAN GATHER CUB OR IF WE CAN GATHER ANDERSON, THAT AFTERNOON WILL BE THE ANDERSON STAGE OR THE CUB STAGE OR. AND THEN DURING EACH BAND THEN WE'LL HAVE ROSES. WHAT'S HE GOT? HE'S GOT THE T SHIRT STORE. HE USED TO OWN A CLUB BACK IN THE DAY, SO WHEN HE AND I. I BROUGHT THIS TO HIM. 
          OH, THIS IS A GREAT IDEA. AND HE'LL, HE'LL, HE'LL SAY, HERE'S $3,000 FOR A BAND OR WHATEVER IT'S GOING TO BE. SO. AND THEN IF WE CAN GET OTHERS THAT LEOS OR ANY OF THESE THAT WANT TO JOIN IN, THEIR NAMES WILL BE ON. AND THEN WE'LL. BEFORE THE BAND STARTS, THIS BAND IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY. YEAH. OKAY. WHAT'S THEIR SCHEDULE LIKE IN AUGUST? I MEAN, IN THE SUMMER MONTHS GET SO CROWDED DOWNTOWN. I GUESS THAT'S MY OTHER HESITATION. I DON'T HAVE THIS. 
          THIS ONE'S PROBABLY THE BEST VIEW. I HAVE THIS BY MONTH FOR YOU ALL. ONE, SEVEN, EIGHT. SO I'VE KIND OF LAID THIS OUT FOR US. LIKE THE GREEN ONES ARE THE NEW ONES THIS YEAR THAT WE'VE APPROVED. WE HAVE THIS ONE FOR 27. BUT THEN TONIGHT THE TWO RED ONES ARE ON HERE. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, AND THAT'S A MISPRINT. THAT SHOULD BE A TWO RIGHT. BUT YEAH, THAT'S 822. SO THE. IT'S NOT ACTUALLY THAT BAD. WE HAVE A LITTLE, A LITTLE GAP. SO YOU'D HAVE EACH WEEKEND YOU WOULD HAVE SOMETHING DOWNTOWN. AND UP TO THAT POINT. YEAH. SUZANNE BLOCH STILL AROUND. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IS EXACTLY WHAT SHE'S BEEN DOING. ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT FOR THE KIDS AND UNDERPRIVILEGED KIDS AND MUSIC EQUIPMENT FOR KIDS. WHAT'S HER NAME? SUZANNE BLOCH. I'LL FIND OUT. SHE'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS. YEAH. EXCELLENT. OH, PLEASE GIVE ME HER NUMBER. AND I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIND. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF HER GROUP. SHE'S IN STILLWATER. IS IT ACROSS FROM MEISTER'S UP THERE? NO, I DON'T, OKAY. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE SHE'S AT. 
          I'LL FIND HER. IT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE'S DOING. OKAY? THAT'S WHAT SHE DOES. GREAT. SHE'S BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS. EXCELLENT YEARS. MUSIC EQUIPMENT FOR KIDS THAT CAN'T AFFORD EQUIPMENT AND STUFF. GOOD. WELL, THE KIDS THAT CAN'T AFFORD, LIKE, A BASEBALL GLOVE OR WHATEVER, SHE BUYS THAT FOR KIDS. GREAT. SHE HAS ACTUALLY A WAREHOUSE AND STUFF WHERE SHE 
          [00:15:05]
HAS EQUIPMENT FOR THEM TO EVEN COME. REALLY? PEOPLE DONATE THE EQUIPMENT. OKAY. THAT'S GREAT. 
          LET ME PLEASE. I'D LOVE TO FIND OUT. I'D LOVE TO TALK WITH HER. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE CURIOUS ABOUT LIKE DOWNTOWN EVENTS SO I CAN RUN THROUGH, WE CAN RUN THROUGH HERE REAL QUICK. 
          SO OBVIOUSLY WHEN WE STARTED IN MAY, WE HAD THE FISHING OPENER. LUMBER STOCK WILL BE DOWN THERE ON A FRIDAY. THAT'S WHAT IT IS WITH THE MARATHON AND THEN DANCE YEAR. THEN WE MOVE RIGHT INTO THE NEXT MONTH, YOU KNOW, CRUISING LACROIX'S DURING THE WEEK. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, REALLY THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT DOWN THERE AFTER THAT, AT LEAST IN THE MONTH, THE LIFT BRIDGE ROAD RACE IS THERE, BUT THAT'S ONE DAY. THEN WE JUMP INTO THE 4TH OF JULY LUMBERJACK DAYS. 
          RIGHT AFTER THAT WE HAVE OPERA ON THE RIVER AND THEN ANOTHER RUNNING RACE. THIS NEW ONE'S NOT DOWNTOWN CURIOS DOWNTOWN ON THE ON THE AMPHITHEATER RELAY FOR LIFE IS ON CHESTNUT PLAZA BRIDGE. THE VALLEY BIKE RALLY'S ON CHESTNUT PLAZA IN THE NORTH AND ACTUALLY SOUTH. LOWELL BROADWAY ON THE SAINT CROIX IS ON THE AMPHITHEATER AND LOWELL. THAT WOULD BE IN THE AMPHITHEATER IN LOWELL. THEN WE MOVE INTO THE. OBVIOUSLY, YOU APPROVED LAST MONTH THE YOGA FEST. THEN WE MOVE INTO. THIS WEEKEND'S KIND OF BUSY, BUT WE HAVE TWO EVENTS ON THE SAME DAY DOWN THERE. SO KIND OF WE'VE ACTUALLY WORKED ALL THAT OUT AND THEN WE GET INTO THE FALL. 
          SO NOT ALL THESE EVENTS OBVIOUSLY ARE DOWNTOWN. I WAS JUST HIGHLIGHTING THE ONES FOR YOU THAT WERE. SO ORGANIZING IT FROM NOW TO THE 28TH. THAT GIVES YOU ENOUGH TIME OR SHOULD WE MOVE IT TO JUNE OF I'M THINKING, HOW WOULD I LIKE JUNE? JUNE LOOKS MORE OPEN THAN AUGUST. AUGUST OF 27. YEAH, IT'S THE 22ND, ISN'T IT? 22ND. SECOND. YEAH. MY MISTAKE. I MEAN, WE'RE WE'RE RUNNING WITH IT NOW IN ANTICIPATION. AND EVERYTHING OF COURSE, IS IS SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL. BUT I'VE GOT PROBABLY TEN OUT OF 20 THINGS SET UP READY TO GO. I'M JUST YEAH, I'M RETIRED. I DO FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. I KNOW HOW THAT GOES. THAT WEEKEND OF AUGUST 22ND. THAT'S THE FIRST WEEK BACK OF SCHOOL, RIGHT. SO IT'S LIKE A BACK TO SCHOOL WEEK TOO. YEAH. YOU CAN PLAY OFF OF THAT, RIGHT. SEE WHAT I DID THERE? YEAH, I DID, I LIKE THAT. 
          WAITING FOR THAT. NO IT'S JUST MAGICAL FINGERTIPS. NO NO NO HE HE'S THAT KIND OF GUY. HE'S WRITING IT DOWN. WAIT THAT'S OKAY, THAT'S OKAY. I JUST YEAH, JUST A QUESTION COMMENT. I FEEL LIKE THIS HAS COME UP BEFORE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LIMIT IS, BUT IT JUST FEELS LIKE WE'RE TAKING EVERY WEEKEND THROUGHOUT SUMMER AND HAVING SOMETHING. AND I JUST KIND OF WONDER WHAT THAT LIMIT IS. I MEAN, WE'VE ALREADY ADDED A LOT THIS YEAR AND JUST MAYBE 1500 PEOPLE IS A BIG AMOUNT. AND I JUST KIND OF CURIOUS WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS THINKING ON THAT AS FAR AS LIKE, SHOULD WE BE FILLING UP EVERY WEEKEND? I DON'T KNOW, JUST SOMETHING I'M THINKING ABOUT. YOU KNOW, THE COUNCIL IS LOOKING AT THAT RIGHT NOW AND ACTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO APPROVE TOMORROW. HOW MUCH WHAT THE ATTENDANCE IS ON ALL THESE THINGS. AND WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE POLICING, THE FIRE PROTECTION, EVERYTHING ELSE DOWN STRESS. IT STRESSES STAFF AND STAFFS. QUITE HONEST WITH YOU GETTING BURNED OUT. SURE. WE DON'T HAVE THE AMOUNT OF STAFF THAT A LOT OF PLACES HAVE. WE HAVE A LOT, BUT WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THEY GET REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING HAPPENED DOWN THERE. WHO'S RESPONSIBLE IS LIKE ALL THESE EVENTS THERE, ARE THEY CONTINUOUS EVERY YEAR APPROVED OR ARE SOME OF THESE LIKE JUST THIS YEAR ON THIS LIST? THE ONLY ONE I KNOW OF THAT WON'T BE BACK AGAIN IS THE FISHING OPENER. SO WHEN THEY FILL OUT APPLICATIONS, IT'S CONTINUOUS EVERY YEAR. THEY'RE BASICALLY GRANDFATHERED IN COMING BACK THE NEXT YEAR. WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT IT BACK THROUGH THE YOUR APPROVAL. LIKE MIKE WAS SAYING, COUNCIL IS LOOKING AT IT. THE CITY IS STARTING TO PUT TOGETHER A GROUP, AN EVENT GROUP. AND WITH COUNCIL GOING TO TRY TO BUILD MORE, YOU KNOW, OF A STRUCTURE, WHAT THEY WANT TO ALLOW AND WHAT TALKING ABOUT EVEN LIKE WE HAVE THE AMPHITHEATER AND WE HAVE PIONEER PARK, MAYBE WE ONLY HAVE STAGES THERE INSTEAD OF PUTTING THINGS IN SOUTH LOWELL AND, YOU KNOW, USE THE SPACE FOR WHAT WE BUILD IT FOR, YOU KNOW, SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT MORE STRUCTURE COMING ON THERE, TALKING ABOUT POSSIBLY EVEN NEXT YEAR, HAVING EVERYONE REAPPLY. EVEN IF YOU'VE BEEN HERE, YOU KNOW, TEN 
          [00:20:01]
YEARS, EVEN THOUGH YOU APPLY EVERY YEAR, RIGHT? THEY DO THE APPLICATION, BUT AS FAR AS GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. SO I DON'T WANT TO SCARE YOU OFF THE COMMITTEE, BUT YOU MIGHT BE DOING ALL THE EVENTS NEXT YEAR, LIKE LOOKING AT ALL OF THEM AGAIN. SO THE IDEA IS THE IDEA IS LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT LAST WEEK, IF. I SHOULDN'T SAY LAST WEEK, LAST MONTH, YOU KNOW, DO YOU DO YOU LOOK AT BROWNS CREEK PARK OUT THERE FOR DIFFERENT EVENTS AND STUFF? DO YOU WANT TO HAVE AN EVENT GO TO BROWNS CREEK PARK? DO YOU LOOK AT OTHER AREAS? YOU KNOW, THE PROPERTY DOWN THERE? DO WE DO SOMETHING WITH THAT BRIDGE PARK SOUTH OF TOWN? WE DON'T WANT TO KEEP CROWDING OUT LOWELL PARK ONLY FOR EVENTS. IT'S FOR THE CITY AND THAT'S WHO'S PAYING THE TAB ON PAYING FOR EVERYTHING. YOU KNOW WE THE SALES TAX TO PAY FOR IT. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. LOOKING AT ALL THAT MAKE A SUGGESTION OR I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF THIS, THIS EVENT. I THINK IT'S GREAT BECAUSE THE MONEY IS GOING BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY. IT'S A FUNDRAISER FOR STILLWATER. IT'S GOING TO HELP STILLWATER KIDS. I THINK WE SHOULD, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE A LARGER PERSPECTIVE AS WE'RE LOOKING THROUGH ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT EVENTS, MAYBE PEOPLE HAVE TO REAPPLY THAT KIND OF STUFF. WE SHOULD REALLY GIVE PRIORITY TO EVENTS THAT ARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR COMMUNITY, RIGHT? SO LIKE, LIKE WHEN SUSTAINABLE STILLWATER DOES THEIR EVENT OR, YOU KNOW, THIS ONE FOR, FOR KIDS DOING MUSIC AND SPORTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. I THINK, I THINK THE OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE COMING IN, LIKE THE RIDE FOR ALS OR THE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER, MAYBE THOSE ONES ARE ON LIKE A ROTATING EVERY OTHER YEAR BASIS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT THE ONES THAT DIRECTLY BENEFIT THE PEOPLE OF STILLWATER AND THE MONEY GOES BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY. I THINK THOSE SHOULD REALLY GET THE PRIORITY FOR EVENTING OVER THE SUMMER. I AGREE WITH YOU. SORRY, THAT'S MY SPIEL. THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING. IT'S GOT TO BE. IT NEEDS TO BE A BENEFIT FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, NOT JUST PEOPLE COMING IN FROM ALL OVER. JUST BECAUSE STILLWATER IS A NICE PLACE TO BE. YEAH, I MEAN, THAT'S WHY THIS ONE TUGS AT MY HEARTSTRINGS A LITTLE BIT MORE FOR THE KIDS THAT STILLWATER. AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE TO ME. BUT IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING SOMETHING LIKE YOU JUST SAID FROM OUTSIDE, IT'S TOUGH AND WE DON'T HATE EVENTS. THAT'S WHAT CAME OUT OUT OF THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING THAT WE HATE EVENTS. AND IT'S ON ADS ON TV. OH, YOU JUST YOU JUST TRY TO MAKE THEY JUST TRY TO MAKE STUFF. LOOK, THEY TRY TO MAKE STUFF LOOK BAD ON TV OR WHATEVER. I MEAN, I THINK THERE'S A BALANCE TO IT THOUGH TOO, BECAUSE LIKE, I TALK TO PEOPLE AND I'M SURE EVERYONE ELSE HEARS AT THIS TABLE, IT'S LIKE, WELL, I DON'T WANT TO GO DOWNTOWN BECAUSE I'M AND I KNOW SOME PEOPLE AREN'T WILLING TO WALK UP A HILL, BUT LIKE THERE'S, THERE'S AN EVENT GOING ON OR IT'S TOO PACKED. AND LIKE, I DO HEAR THAT A BIT. SO IT'S LIKE, AT WHAT LEVEL? YEAH, NO, I HEAR YOU COMMUNITY EVENTS AND BUT HAVE IT STILL BE FULL. YEAH. SO YOU KNOW, WHAT I'M THINKING IS IT WOULD BE NICE TO KIND OF BLOCK OFF WEEKENDS ON OUR CHART TOO. THAT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, OKAY, THIS IS FOR THE COMMUNITY JUST NOT HAVING AN EVENT. SPEAKING OF HATING EVENTS, YOU KNOW, NOT HAVING AN EVENT THAT WEEKEND DON'T HATE EVENTS. I KNOW, I'M JUST TEASING, BUT IT WAS ON IT WAS ON TV THAT WE HATE EVENTS AND STILLWATER AND YOU'RE HOSTING THE GOVERNOR'S FISHING CAMP. WE HAVE 50. WE'RE NOT. YEAH, YEAH, WE HAVE 51 EVENTS ALREADY HAPPENING. SO I DON'T THINK WE HATE WE LOVE EVENTS ACCORDING TO THE NUMBERS. RIGHT? RIGHT. YEAH. AND SO IT'S JUST A QUESTION OF DO WE WANT DOWNTOWN TO HAVE SOME WEEKENDS WHERE WE CAN JUST GO DOWN THERE? YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I'M NOT SAYING I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOURS HERE AT ALL. WHEN I'M, WHEN I'M WHEN I'M ALWAYS SEE WHEN AGAIN, WE SAME THING. YOU WANT TO GO DOWNTOWN? YEAH. YEAH. WELL WHY? WELL, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE. WELL, IF THERE'S AN EVENT OR NOT, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE. RIGHT. BECAUSE WE GOT BUSSES COMING IN FROM THE CITY. WE'VE GOT WEDDINGS, WEDDINGS, WE'VE GOT BACHELORETTE PARTIES, WE'VE GOT ALL OF THIS. SO IT'S NOT IT'S THE UNFORTUNATE PART THAT WE LIVE IN A WONDERFUL CITY AND, AND EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A PART OF IT. WHENEVER I TELL SOMEBODY I LIVE IN STILLWATER. OH MY GOSH, HOW DO YOU AFFORD. 
          WELL, JESUS. COME ON. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I SELL MY KIDNEYS. THAT'S HOW I AFFORD IT. BUT SO IT'S IT'S A CURSE AND A BLESSING. BUT I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. THERE'S GOT TO BE A WEEKEND THAT IS NOTHING. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T STAND AT THE AT THE BORDER AND GO. 
          YOU CAN'T COME IN. YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T. OH, NO. YOU'RE FROM WISCONSIN. YOU'RE FROM BROOKLYN PARK. YEAH. BUT STILL, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. IT'S BUT IT IS JUST IT'S IT'S A DESTINATION. SO AND THAT'S WHY WE BUILT THE AMPHITHEATER DURING THE WEEKDAYS. IT'S NOT AS BIG A DEAL, BUT THE WEEKEND IT'S DIFFERENT. YEAH. SO SPEAKING OF THAT, I MEAN, ARE 
          [00:25:01]
YOU OPEN TO A WEEKDAY? I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE ELSE IS, BUT I ALLEVIATE. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE FINE. AGAIN, IT'S IT'S SO WHENEVER WE PLAY THESE SHOWS THAT WE PLAY, I'M 69, I'LL BE 69 YEARS OLD IN JUNE. AND NO, I DON'T COLOR MY HAIR. SO MY FATHER IN LAW, HOW COME THIS IS GREAT? WELL NEVER MIND. SO WE'RE IN BED BY TEN. WE CALL IT THE IN BED BY TEN TOUR BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PLAY. I USED TO DO THAT FOR YEARS, PLAYED AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING WHEN WE PLAYED IN WISCONSIN. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'M HOME BY 330, 4:00 AND NO. SO WE WE GO FROM OUR SHOWS HERE IN TOWN AT FREIGHT HOUSE, AND THESE PLACES GO FROM 7 TO 9 AND YOU'RE YOU'RE GONE. YOU'RE IN BED BY TEN TOUR. SO NOW I USED TO PLAY ON THE THE DECK HERE AT THE LEGION. I HAD A ONE MAN SHOW CALLED MR. WHOOPEE AND I'D HAVE TO CUT IT AT TEN. IS THAT STILL. 
          THAT IS A NOISE ORDINANCE. IS TEN. IS IT OKAY? NOISE ORDINANCE. OKAY. JUST MAKING SURE. I WOULD SAY I WOULD WORRY ABOUT DOING IT ON A WEEK NIGHT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU WOULD GET AS MANY DONATIONS AND MONEY FROM JUST LIKE PEOPLE WHO HAPPEN TO BE LIKE, OH, I'M IN STILLWATER AND THIS HAPPENS TO BE HAPPENING. AND I'LL, YOU KNOW, WHAT A TEN BUCKS AND A BIN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WELL, AND THAT'S, THAT'S, I THINK. AND SO I THINK IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE RELYING ON JUST PASSERS BY, GIVING OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF THEIR HEARTS, I THINK YOU WOULD RAISE MORE REVENUE ON THE WEEKENDS IF IT WERE TO BE EITHER LIKE A FRIDAY OR A WEEKEND IN THE SUMMER. THAT'S WHEN, LIKE ALL THE, ALL THE GROUPS COME THROUGH. WHAT WERE THE HOURS IT WAS ALL DAY, RIGHT? YEAH. FROM FROM PROBABLY 1 TO 10. SO OKAY. AND LAST LAST SHOW STARTING AT NINE. AND THAT'LL BE A DISCO CALLED DISCO KINGS. SO AND THAT'LL, THAT'LL BE ALL THE, THE NIGHT FEVER AND ALL THAT FUN STUFF. SO AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE VOLUNTEERS GOING THROUGH WITH SEALED. THEY'LL JUST HAVE A SLIT ON THE TOP FOR MONEY DROP AND THEY'LL BE, THEY WON'T BE PESTERING PEOPLE. THEY'LL JUST BE AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE. AND FROM THE STAGE WE'LL ANNOUNCE. BY THE WAY, YOU SEE THE YELLOW VEST, PLEASE GIVE IF YOU CAN. 
          IF YOU CAN'T, WE UNDERSTAND. IF YOU NEED SOMETHING, PLEASE PUT A NOTE IN THIS ALSO AND WE WILL CONTACT YOU AFTER THIS IS ALL DONE. BECAUSE THAT'S THE OTHER THING PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO COME UP AND SAY I NEED I THIS IS VERY DISCREET, VERY QUIET. JUST GO AHEAD, HAVE SOME QR CODES TO. 
          THERE YOU GO. THE QR CODES WILL BE ON THE VIDEO SCREENS. THEY'LL BE ON THE ON THE STAGE ITSELF. YEAH. IF YOU LIKE CONSIDERED LIKE CREATING LIKE A 501 C THREE OR SOMETHING. YEAH. 
          OKAY. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. AND I THINK WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS. WE'VE TALKED TO A COUPLE FOLKS IN TOWN WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GATHER EVERYTHING THEY WILL DISTRIBUTE. OKAY. THAT WAY IT'S SOMEONE WHO IS IN TOWN THAT'S BEEN TRUSTED BEFORE, AND THEN EVERYTHING'S ON THE UP AND UP JUST TO BE CERTAIN. REALLY COOL. I'M ALL FOR THIS. I THINK IT'D BE FUN. AND YOU WILL ALL GET UP ON STAGE AND SING THE BACKGROUND TO YOU. DO NOT WANT ME TO SING TO OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL. COME ON COWBELL. I HAVE AN 18 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AND I WAS SHE WAS SICK WITH RSV ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND I WAS LIKE TRYING TO ROCK HER TO SLEEP AND SINGING AND SHE PUT HER HAND UP TO MY MOUTH AND NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. AND I WAS LIKE, I'M SINGING DAD. THAT'S HOW BAD I AM. THE HARSHEST OF CRITICS. YEAH. I WAS LIKE, OH, DID YOU NAME HER SIMON? THAT'S AWFUL. NO. FUNNY BUT BAD. SO YOU DON'T WANT ME SINGING? OH, WELL, YOU COULD SHAKE THE TAMBOURINE. YEAH, I CAN DO THAT. DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A WELL YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION OR IS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? I HAVE ONE QUESTION. I JUST HAD ONE MORE QUESTION FOR SUPERINTENDENT ROGNESS. AND SORRY, THIS IS DIRECT, BUT ON THE EVENT APPLICATION ITSELF, IT WAS DEFINITELY A LOT LESS MATERIAL MATERIAL THAN WE'RE USED TO SEEING FOR LARGER THINGS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HECK I'M DOING. SO YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF MY HESITANCE. THAT'S MY SLIGHT HESITANCY JUST BECAUSE IT WASN'T AS I MEAN, AS YOU SAW. 
          YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. SO LIKE, THAT'S MY ONLY HESITANCY RIGHT NOW. I'M JUST WONDERING IF YOU HAD FURTHER THOUGHTS ON THAT IF. I MEAN, THE MAJOR THINGS WE WANT TO KNOW ARE, YOU KNOW, LIKE FOOD TRUCKS AND THINGS THAT COULD CAUSE HAVE ANY RISK TO THEM, RIGHT? SO THAT'S WHERE THE POLICE OR THE FIRE WANTS TO KNOW. AND THE, THE WASHINGTON COUNTY WANTS TO KNOW WHERE THOSE TYPES OF THINGS ARE. AND THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE IN THE PARKING LOT AND LOT NINE. SO, I MEAN, IT'S AN IMPACT OF THE PARKING LOT. IT WOULD JUST BE THAT PARKING LOT IN THE PARK, WHICH IS A GOOD THING. SMALLER DETAILS. I MEAN, WE CAN WORK OUT WITH HIM. IT'S MORE OF THE BIGGER PICTURE THAT I REALLY AM CONCERNED ABOUT AND WHAT STAFF DOES BECAUSE OF JUST RISK, YOU 
          [00:30:03]
KNOW, WHEREVER THEY SEE RISK, THEY'RE A LOT BETTER AT, YOU KNOW, SEEING WHERE THE RISKS ARE THAN I AM, YOU KNOW, THE POLICE AND THE FIRE. SO AND AGAIN, I'M OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS AND ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT ANYONE HAS, BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST OF A KIND FOR US. 
          WE DO SMALLER EVENTS. WE DO WE WE GO TO HOTELS ALL ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND WE PUT ON A COMPLETE SHOW. WE SELL TICKETS, WE HAVE SECURITY, WE HAVE ALL OF THAT. BUT THIS IS AND THAT'S USUALLY 300 TO 500 PEOPLE, WHEREAS THIS IS GOING TO BE LARGER. SO WE DO HAVE A SEMI STAFF THAT WE HAVE WORKING WITH US. THAT IS WHAT WE CALL FRONT OF HOUSE, WHO THE SOUND PERSON IS ALWAYS SCANNING THE CROWD, SEEING WHAT'S GOING ON. WE HAVE A PERSON ON STAGE THAT DOES NOTHING BUT TEND TO WHAT'S HAPPENING ON STAGE AND ALSO WATCHES THE CROWD BECAUSE AGAIN, WE HAVE OUR OUR CORE GROUP IS 40 TO 80, 90 YEARS OLD, AND WE'VE HAD MEDICAL EVENTS WHERE WE'VE HAD TO STOP THE SHOW. SO WE DO CARRY A DEFIBRILLATOR ON STAGE AND IT'S SORT OF A JOKE, BUT IT'S IT'S TRUE. I'M SORRY. YOU KNOW, AS THEY'RE UP DANCING, IT'S LIKE, PLEASE DON'T BREAK A HIP, YOU KNOW? SO THE MORE WE DO, THE MORE FURTHER WE GET INTO THIS, THE MORE DIRECTION WE'LL BE TAKING FROM THOSE WHO HAVE DONE IT BEFORE. SO I'VE GOT THERE'S A GUY IN TOWN NAMED JIM BOO THAT IS HELPING WITH SOME OF THIS, AND HE'S DONE THIS TYPE OF THING BEFORE, AND HE'S GOT CONNECTIONS THAT ARE GOING TO HELP US WORK THROUGH ALL OF THIS. SO YOU'RE DONE NOW? I FIGURED I SEE I KNEW IT IF I IF I MENTIONED CUTTER OR BOO, I WAS OUT OF HERE. SO. HE'S A GREAT GUY. WHICH ONE? NOT JIM BOO. OKAY. YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT DIRECTLY. BUT I'M SORRY. OH, SORRY. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY SO. THE BEES. JUST SO I UNDERSTAND, THE FEE TOTALS ARE. 
          WELL, ALMOST $3,000 IS WHAT I'M GATHERING. MAYBE A LITTLE MORE. THAT'S IF HE ENDS UP HAVING A LIQUOR. THAT WOULD BE THE MAJORITY OF IT. $1,000 IS FOR THE LIQUOR LICENSE. BUT YEAH, THE THE PARK FEE IS $1,000. IT'S A LOAD IN DAY AND THE EVENT FEE DAY. OKAY. FOOD VENDORS AND THEN A DEPOSIT. SO WHEN PARKING LOT A COUPLE OF DAYS. YES, WE TALK ABOUT RIGHT EVENTS STRESSING STAFF IS THIS WHAT DOES THIS COVER PAYING FOR STAFF TO BE THERE AND OR IS IT. 
          I'M CURIOUS HOW THE FINANCES TOTALLY. IT NEVER WORKS THAT WAY. NO. OKAY. AND THAT'S NOT THE INTENT OF OF THE FEES. IT'S COVERS SOME OF IT. BUT OKAY, YOU COULDN'T COVER THE POLICE SERVICES ALONE WITH THE FEES WE HAVE. YEAH. AND THAT'S CHANGED THEN. NOW THE COUNCIL'S DECISION A FEW YEARS AGO, RIGHT. TO SET SOME STANDARD FEES, RIGHT. NOT, NOT COVER EVERY COST. YEAH. AND REALLY I THINK THE BIGGEST STRESS IS ON THE POLICE. YEAH. FOR STAFF. SO MAKE SENSE. SO IF WE PASS THIS MOTION IT WOULD GO TO THE COUNCIL. AND THEN THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE POLICE AND THE PARKING. AND I MEAN THAT'S THE STUFF THAT I KIND OF WORRY ABOUT. BUT I ASSUME THAT KIND OF GOES TO YOUR THAT'S THERE'LL BE UP THERE TALKING ABOUT THAT. 
          YEAH. OKAY. SO LAST YEAR'S LUMBERJACK DAYS, WHAT WAS DO WE HAVE TOTALS ON THAT AS FAR AS PEOPLE THERE WORKING ON THAT RIGHT NOW? OKAY. ACTUALLY, WE'RE GOING TO APPROVE A CONTRACT TOMORROW NIGHT FOR GETTING US NUMBERS ON PEOPLE BECAUSE LAST YEAR I HEARD I WAS OUT OF TOWN LAST YEAR AND MISSED IT, BUT I HEARD IT WASN'T VERY BUSY. I HEARD IT WASN'T EITHER. AND THE FISHING OPENER, WAS THAT WHAT WE EXPECTED OR NO, I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY GOOD. OKAY, I THOUGHT THERE WOULD ACTUALLY BE MORE ON. WAS IT FRIDAY NIGHT? YEAH, I THOUGHT IT'D BE MORE ON FRIDAY NIGHT. BUT IT WAS, IT WAS. THERE'S PROBABLY A FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE DOWN THERE. OKAY. I WAS SUPPOSED TO PLAY THAT. WELL, MY FIRST BAND, A FRIEND OF OURS, TOM PETTY BAND, THEIR SINGER, GOT ILL, COULDN'T COULDN'T DO IT. THEN THEY TRIED TO GET US TO DO IT. AND THEN THEY GOT THE HALL AND OATES BAND, WHICH IS. THEY WERE GOOD. 
          THEY WERE VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD. COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS. I'M SORRY. I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS. I ONLY READ IT THIS MORNING, SO THANK YOU. WHAT TIME WOULD MUSIC STOP AND THEN SPEAKERS SURROUND SOUND. AS FAR AS AMOUNT OF NOISE AMPLIFYING TO THE REST OF THE. OKAY, WELL, WHAT WE HAVE IS THE NEWEST IN TECHNOLOGIES IS WHAT WE'RE USING. AND THAT WILL. IT'S A BEAM SYSTEM, WHEREAS JAY MORIARTY DOES THE TUESDAY NIGHT, THE MOVIES, THE SUMMER, THE MOVIES. SO HE HAS A BOX. HE HAS A SYSTEM THAT IS DOUBLE EIGHTEENS 215 AND A HORN. AND THAT HORN JUST SHOOTS AND IT JUST GOES WHEREVER IT WANTS TO GO. OUR SYSTEM IS BUILT SO THAT IT IT WILL STOP ALMOST 50%, 10 OR 15FT AFTER THE EDGE THAT WE THAT WE PUT ON THE AFTER THE READ ON THE GROUND FOR THE MOST PART. SO IT WON'T IT'LL GO A LITTLE BIT INTO LIKE THE CAFE THAT'S THERE AND WHERE THEY'RE BUILDING THE NEW GAS STATION, IT'LL, IT'LL STOP THERE. SO 
          [00:35:07]
THAT BECAUSE MOSTLY THE HIGH FREQUENCIES ARE THE ONES THAT CUT THROUGH THE AIR, THE LOW FREQUENCIES GIVE A LOW END RUMBLE. BUT WITH THE NEW TECHNOLOGY TOO, WE CAN TAKE THE SPEAKERS AND. AND. ESSENTIALLY CUT THAT DOWN BY HALF. SO WE CAN, WE CAN CAP THE VOLUME AT 100DB AT THE SOUNDBOARD, WHICH IS JUST ABOUT THE SOUND OF A SNARE DRUM BY ITSELF. AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LOUD. THAT'S THE OTHER THING WITH THE IN BED BY SEVEN, IN BED BY TEN TOUR, WE DON'T PLAY LOUD BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO COME TO LISTEN TO IT ARE OUR AGE, AND WE DON'T WANT IT LOUD. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO EACH OTHER. SO THE SOUND MAN OR SOUND WOMAN HAS BEEN INSTRUCTED. I SAID, IF YOU SEE PEOPLE LEANING IN TO YELL AT EACH OTHER, TURN IT DOWN BECAUSE IT'S NOT NEEDED. WE'RE HERE TO ENJOY OURSELVES. THIS ISN'T. I SANG HEAVY METAL FOR YEARS. THIS ISN'T A METAL BAND. THIS IS EASY LISTENING MUSIC. IT'S FUN. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET UP AND DANCE IF WE WANT OR HANG OUT. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO NO, WE DON'T WANT IT LOUD. WE WANT IT. SO ALL OF THAT. WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO STOPPING AT NINE? I WOULD SAY NINE, 9 OR 930. THE LIGHTS LOOK GREAT AFTER WE GET DARK. BUT THAT'S THE FINALE TO ME IS, IS THE BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE $50,000 WORTH OF LIGHTS. SO I'D RATHER BE ABLE TO SHOW. 
          I MEAN, 930 WOULD BE, I MEAN, NINE WOULD WORK. BUT I MEAN, IF IF WE'RE GETTING COMPLAINTS. 
          YEAH, I JUST WANT THE POLICE TO FIGURE OUT, YEAH, I WANT IT TO WORK. I JUST WANT IT TO BE, I WANT EVERYBODY TO BE HAPPY AND COME BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN. BECAUSE THIS IT'S NOT MY BENEFIT. IT'S IT'S THE KIDS THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH. SO BUT YEAH, IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH 10:00 NOW JUST WITH THE STUFF? NO. YEAH. WE DO GET COMPLAINTS FROM THE BARS AND STUFF UP THE HILL. I WOULD ASSUME WAS MORE OF THE OTHER END OF TOWN. OKAY, THEY WERE GETTING IT, BUT OH YEAH, RIGHT UP THE HILL. CLOSED OFF. YEAH. MOTION. YEAH. I MAKE A MOTION TO. APPROVE THE PLAY IT FORWARD EVENT. ARE WE APPROVING ARE WE RECOMMEND A COUNCIL TO APPROVE OR RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL TO APPROVE. I DON'T KNOW IT'S THE RIGHT TERMINOLOGY. IS THAT THE RIGHT TERMINOLOGY.

YEAH, WELL, I LIED, SO. STILL OUT THERE. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU. MOVE TO THE NEXT ONE. 
          [2. Still Water, Living Lake - New Event Application]
DAN'S GONE, BUT. SO, AS YOU SAW IN THE MEMO AND WE. HANNAH PETERSON WITH THE BROWN CREEKS WATER WATERSHED DISTRICT, THEY WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE AN EVENT. STILLWATER LIVING LAKE, AN ARTISTIC CELEBRATION OF LONG LAKE. THIS ONE WOULD BE DOWN ALONG THE LAKE IN SOME OF THE OPEN SPACES THAT WE HAVE, AND THEY'D HAVE BOOTHS SET UP. AND IT'S BASICALLY AN EDUCATION ABOUT THE THE STORY BEHIND LONG LAKE. AND THEN A LOT OF THE AQUATIC EDUCATION, THINGS LIKE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY NEAT LITTLE EVENT, PRETTY SMALL 100 PEOPLE THAT ARE ESTIMATING. BUT I DID HAVE A QUESTION AS FAR AS THE LOCATION OF THOSE PLACES. I MEAN, ARE THEY PLANNING TO HAVE A WALK OR. YEAH. IS THAT WHAT THE THING? OKAY. YEAH. YEAH. BECAUSE THAT THEN IT MAKES SENSE. BUT IF THEY WEREN'T GOING TO HAVE A WALK, IT'S LIKE, OKAY, IT'S LIKE A NATURE WALK. 
          AND THEN THEY CAN GO FROM SPOT TO SPOT AND SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE TEACHING ABOUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT. AND SOME OF IT'S THE STORY OF LONG LAKE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THEN YOU START AT ONE SPOT AND THEN THEY GO, OH, THE NEXT STORY IS THIS OTHER SPOT. AND, AND I'M KIND OF WONDERING HOW YOU START HERE AND YOU END UP THERE, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WALK ALL THE WAY BACK. OR ARE YOU GONNA, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'LL. YEAH. BECAUSE THEN THAT'S A LONG WALK FROM THIS PLACE ALL THE WAY TO THE START. I MEAN, MY WIFE DOES IT EVERY DAY AROUND IT. I MEAN THE DOGS. SO PEOPLE CAN HANDLE IT. IT'S LIKE AN HOUR, RIGHT? 50. AND WHAT ARE THE AGE OF THESE PEOPLE? WHERE ARE THEY? WHERE ARE THEY HAVING? DID SHE GIVE YOU A MAP AND STUFF? YEAH. SHOW THEM THE MAP. YEAH. BECAUSE IT IS YOU KNOW IT'S IT'S NOT. YEAH. I GOT A BIGGER ONE. OH. IS THERE PARKING SOMEWHERE OR SO. IS THIS JUST FOR FAR PLACE? THERE'S EVEN ONE MORE STAR DOWN THERE AT THE BOTTOM. YEAH. I'M TRYING TO GET IT TO A SIZE. 
          THERE WE GO. YEAH. THAT ONE WAY DOWN THERE. THAT'S WHERE I START. THE WALK IS THERE. IT'S LIKE I'VE NEVER MADE IT TO THE NORTH STAR. IT'S A LONG WALK. IT'S A LONG WALK. YEAH. I MEAN, I DON'T MIND THE THE THREE AND THE FOUR, BUT THAT LONG ONE THIS THIS AND THERE'S NOTHING THERE TOO. IT'S JUST A WELL, IT'S THAT LITTLE PARKING LOT, THAT LITTLE PARKING LOT. I THINK THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO SET UP, YOU KNOW, LIKE A LITTLE BOOTH. I WOULD IMAGINE SOME PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY AREN'T GOING TO GO TO ALL OF THEM. I MEAN, YOU COULD COME INTO THE UNDER THE CENTER AND YOU CAN HIT A FEW OF THEM. BUT YEAH, STARS, A ROUNDABOUT PARKING LOT. THERE'S NO PARKING LOT. IT'S AROUND. IT'S LIKE A LITTLE ROUNDABOUT. YOU CAN PARK ABOUT TWO CARS THERE OR MAYBE THREE AT THE END OF 60S THERE. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. 
          THERE'S A LITTLE TURN AROUND THERE. YEAH. THERE'S A BIG ROCK IS. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. THOSE USED TO BE SHOULD BE EMERGENCY ACCESS. I MEAN, YOU CAN WALK THERE, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU CAN HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF CARS GOING THERE. NO YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE NOT. WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO PARK CARS. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE. WAIT, WHAT IS THAT STAR. THE THE TOP ONE. IS THAT A PARKING LOT THERE? THAT'S A CUL DE SAC IN. I WALK THAT EVERY DAY ALMOST. RIGHT. 
          IF YOU GO AND I DON'T, IT'S NOT I DON'T I DON'T BELIEVE WITH HER DRAWING IT'S GOING TO BE THERE. IT'S GOING TO BE DOWN YOU KNOW IN BY THE WATER IN THE IN THE OPEN SPACES THAT WE HAVE DOWN THERE. YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PART IT IS CONSIDERED CITY PARK LAND WHERE THEY'LL HAVE THE STUFF. IT'S NOT I DON'T I THINK IT'S JUST FOR THE MAP. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S UP IN THE PARKING LOT OR IN THE CUL DE SAC. I THINK THIS IS GREAT. IT'S JUST WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW WE NEED MORE EVENTS. NOT. YEAH, I MEAN, NO, I GUESS PEOPLE TO SEE OTHER PARKS, I WOULD JUST WE MOVE THAT BOTTOM ONE, THAT BOTTOM YOU. IS THERE. YEAH. ALL THE WAY AROUND. NO NO NO YOU 
          [00:45:07]
BASICALLY THERE'S NOT A PATH THERE SHOULD BE IN THE FUTURE. YOU COME FROM CORALWOOD AND THEN YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN COME DOWN. WHERE IS THE PATH? YOU'RE ON IT OVER THERE. RIGHT OVER THERE COMES THROUGH HERE AND YOU CAN GO AROUND IT. AND THEN YOU, YOU KNOW, THIS IS LIKE CUB FOODS AND STUFF. THERE'S A LITTLE PATH. CAN I TAKE? YEAH, PLEASE, PLEASE. 
          BECAUSE I'M SO OKAY. I WALK THIS A LOT. SO THE TRAIL HERE MIGHT GOT THIS IN ON 72ND STREET GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND HERE. THEN YOU GO ON CITY STREETS FOR A LITTLE BIT, THEN YOU WALK DOWN HERE, THEN IT'S PAVED TRAIL ALL THE WAY DOWN, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THAT, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO HERE. THEN IT'S ROAD. MIKE'S WORKING ON A PAVED TRAIL ALONG THE LAKE. AT SOME POINT THAT'S SUPPOSED TO CONNECT TO THE HIGHWAY AND THAT'LL CONNECT. THERE'S A PAVED TRAIL THAT RUNS RIGHT THROUGH HERE TO GET YOU OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. SNAKE. THERE'S A TWO PAVED TRAIL UP TO THE CONDOS HERE AND THEN TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THEN YOU GO ON CITY STREET ALL THE WAY BACK. YEAH. SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT CONNECTED ALL THE WAY AROUND THAT WHOLE LAKE. THAT'D BE NICE. SO IN THE MASTER PLAN, THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG RECOMMENDATIONS IS TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THAT IS A LOOP THAT YOU COULD DO. AND EVEN MARKING THAT ROAD THAT DAN WAS POINTING OUT HERE, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO TRAIL, BUT AT LEAST MARKING THAT THAT THAT IS LIKE A PACK. YEAH, YEAH, YOU DID MARK IT WITH THOSE GREEN SIGNS AND STUFF. OH, SURE. 
          BECAUSE NOBODY COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT THOSE GREEN SIGNS WERE. I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND THOSE GREEN SIGNS. BUT YEAH, IT BECAUSE LIKE THE IN THAT OPEN SPACE THAT'S THERE NOW WHERE THE, THE WHAT IS THE EAST STAR, THE OPEN SPACE, THE ONLY WAY THAT THOSE PLACES ARE MARKED OUT THERE IS THOSE LITTLE GREEN SIGNS THAT SAYS LIKE, YEAH, IT'S LIKE AN OPEN SPACE. YEAH, THIS IS AN ENTRANCE. THERE'S NO TRAIL THERE. THERE'S NO TRAIL, NO, THERE'S NOTHING THERE. THAT IS PART OF THE PARK. MASTER PLAN IS MAKING IT MORE VISIBLE. WHAT ARE THE AGES? ARE THEY EXPECTING THAT? BECAUSE I'M GOING. THERE'S NO WAY A FIVE YEAR OLD WILL WALK BETWEEN. I DON'T THINK IT'S A KID EVENT, SO NO, BUT YOU CAN BIKE IT. GOOD. SO THAT'S A GOOD POINT. 
          YEAH, THEY COULD BIKE IT FOR LITTLE KIDS. THIS BECOMES THE THIS BECOMES INSTEAD OF THAT IT'S THIS. THIS IS THE MINI LOOP TRAIL WHERE LIKE YOUNGER KIDS AND FAMILIES CAN START TO LEARN WE'RE BIKING THERE. THEN I'M FINE WITH IT. WELL, SOME OF IT, THEY HAD IT SET UP THAT THE ORIGINAL HOMEOWNER DID NOT WANT BIKES ON THERE, AND IT WAS SIGNED FOR NO BIKES. BUT I SAID, I JUST SAID, JUST DO IT. HOW MANY YEARS AGO DID WE TAKE THOSE? LIKE FIVE YEARS AGO? THERE'S STILL ONE SIGN LEFT THOUGH. IT'S DOWN THEM ALL DOWN. WE TOOK THEM ALL DOWN SOMEWHERE. 
          IT'S SOMEWHERE DOWN HERE. THAT'S THAT'S STILL OPEN FOR BIKING THERE. IT'S IT'S VERY NORTH END. THAT LITTLE V NECK, THAT BOTTLENECK, IT'S WAY UP. IT'S WAY UP. THERE'S STILL ONE THAT SAYS, IS THERE STILL ONE THAT SAYS THAT THERE'S NO BIKE THAT I'VE SEEN THE WORD. NEWMAN. 
          NEWMAN. OKAY. YEAH, MAYBE THAT'S WHERE IT IS. YEAH. OKAY. IT'S WAY UP THERE. YEAH. YEAH, THAT'S WHERE IT IS. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S A COOL SPOT BECAUSE THERE NORTH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NO BIKING. YEAH. BUT HE SAID IF WE PUT THE TRAIL IN THERE FOR KIDS TO GET TO SCHOOL. WHY WOULD YOU STOP FROM RIDING THEIR BIKE TO SCHOOL? YEAH. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. I SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AYE, AYE. YAY FOR LONG LAKES. I JUST WANT TO MOVE ON. I KNOW, I THINK IT'S WORRIED ABOUT OVERRUNNING LITTLE. YEAH. 
          YOU CAN'T USE PREMIER PARK THAT EVERYBODY IN THE CITY PAYS FOR AND THEY CAN'T USE IT. I DON'T LIKE THAT. BUT IF WE HAD RIDGEVIEW PARK DONE RIGHT NOW MIGHT BE A DIFFERENT STORY. BUT THAT'S COMING. THAT'S COMING PRETTY QUICK. SO THE PLAN IS TO REVIEW ALL THE COUNCIL IS GOING TO KIND OF HAVE SOME DISCUSSION AND KIND OF SET SOME MAYBE GUIDELINES OR SUGGESTIONS WE'RE GOING TO DO LIKE WE WE DID ONCE BEFORE THIS COMMISSION DID THAT PROBABLY 25 YEARS AGO WHEN ROB WAS ON THE COUNCIL AND HE WORKED WITH THE COMMISSION AND WROTE A WROTE A POSITION PAPER ON EVENT POLICY FOR THE COMMUNITY. SURE. WELL, SO IT WAS BEING BROUGHT OUT TO REVIEW IT AGAIN AND, AND TRY TO PUT SOMETHING NEW TOGETHER BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE'RE GOING TO GET, YOU KNOW, 51 IT'S KEEP ON. IT'S NOT ANY I CAN'T LOOK AT IT AS 51. RIGHT. BECAUSE LIKE THIS EVENT IS TO ME IS SEPARATE FROM THE. NO, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS AT ALL. I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT. BUT WE MET, I THINK A LOT OF YOU WEREN'T AT THE LAST MEETING. WE MET AS A STAFF AND IT WAS POLICE FIRE. OUR COMMUNICATIONS PERSON, COUNCIL MEMBER BELAND. IT WAS PUBLIC 
          [00:50:07]
WORKS. WE HAD A BIG STAFF AND WE MET ABOUT AND TALKED ABOUT IT, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. AND WITH COUNCIL, THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE SOME GUIDANCE AND THEY WANT TO GO BACK AND GRAB THAT POLICY. THAT WAS WRITTEN, LIKE YOU SAID, 25 YEARS AGO, AND GO OVER IT AND START TO MAKE MORE STRUCTURE TO IT, TAKE SOME PRESSURE OFF YOU. AND THEN KIND OF THIS IS WHAT COUNCIL WANTS TO START TO SEE. AND THEN AND THEN WE CAN BUILD FROM THERE AND OBVIOUSLY TAKE YOUR INPUT ON WHAT THAT TURNS INTO AS WELL. I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. YEAH, I'M FULLY SUPPORTIVE. SO THAT IS WHAT OUR PLAN IS FOR 2027. YEAH. SO SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LESS NECESSARILY LIKE, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE AT PIONEER PARK IN THAT BEAUTIFUL BAND SHELTER. YEAH. 
          RIGHT. NO, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SAYING. YOU KNOW WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS. SPREAD THE LOVE EVERYBODY WANTS. EVERYBODY WANTS LOWELL PARK. YES. WE SHOULD SAY HOW MANY HOW MANY EVENTS AT LOWELL PARK. RIGHT. WHAT'S THAT NUMBER? AND, AND, AND THEY TALKED ABOUT IF YOU HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE, YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE A, YOU KNOW, A BUS OR A TROLLEY TO OFF SITE PARKING, JUST DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. AND WHAT'S THE ACTUAL USE OF A PARKING LOT? BECAUSE THEY REALLY, WE REALLY WANT THE EVENTS IN THE PARK, NOT IN THE PARKING LOTS, RIGHT? LIKE WE, BECAUSE THEN YOU NEED THAT PARKING. BUT OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T WANT FOOD TRUCKS IN THE PARK EITHER. LIKE YOU DON'T WANT TO DESTROY THE PARK IN THE SAME. RIGHT. SO IF IT'S DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE EVENT, THEY TALKED ABOUT ALLOWING THE PARKING LOT, BUT NO MORE LIKE JUST USING IT FOR PARKING SPACES BECAUSE YOU WANT TO RESERVE SPOTS FOR YOUR STAFF AND STUFF. I MEAN, THAT, THAT KIND OF THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE EMPTY PARKING SPOTS AND PEOPLE GET UPSET, RIGHT? BECAUSE THERE'S ALL THOSE, BUT THEY'RE NOT USING THEM FOR THE EVENT, BUT THEY REQUESTED IT. RIGHT? SO THAT, AND LIKE I TALKED ABOUT BANDS AT PIONEER AND ON THE AMPHITHEATER WITH A STAGE WHERE, YOU KNOW, MAKING IT MORE WHAT THE PARK WAS DESIGNED FOR AND NOT JUST A FREE FOR ALL. AND I THINK IT'LL HELP STAFF. I THINK IT'LL HELP ORGANIZERS. 
          IT'LL HELP YOU ALL, ALL OF US. SO THAT'S KIND OF THE THE LONG TERM PLAN HERE. I WAS, I WAS DOWN THERE SATURDAY, JUST, I MEAN, FOR LOCAL EVENTS. AND IT WAS JUST A IT WAS THEY WERE DOING TAI CHI DOWN THERE. AND IT WAS, YOU KNOW, IT WAS COOL BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE ALL LOCAL PEOPLE WHO CAME DOWN THERE TO DO TAI CHI AND THERE'S DOGS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, AND THEY'RE JUST DOING THIS ONE LITTLE SPOT. SO THAT SEEMS, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU'RE SAYING THIS WAS FOR COMMUNITY. YEAH, THIS IS WHAT IT'S FOR. THIS IS A COMMUNITY COMING DOWN THERE AND EVERYBODY'S, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S IN THE MORNING. SO YOU'RE DOWN THERE EVERY SATURDAY MORNING. 
          THEY ASK US STUFF LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME. I WAS LIKE, WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO CREATE EVENT. 
          IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S OUR PARK. YOU CAN USE IT TO JOIN AND DO THINGS LIKE THAT. IF THEY'RE NOT CHARGING MONEY, RIGHT, THEN IT'S, IT'S TOTALLY LEGAL TO DO. AND YEAH, IT'S GREAT TO SEE THOSE THINGS. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT IT'S THERE FOR, RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT I JUST, WE, WE JUST NEED TO LOOK. IT JUST, IT'S STRIKING ME THAT IT'S SO FULL OF EVENTS. YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE OUT ON STUFF LIKE THAT. RIGHT? RIGHT. THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP. WELL YOU CAN'T GO DOWN AND DO THIS BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T RENTED FOR THIS EVENT THIS WEEK. AND THEN YOU GET IN THE CONFLICTS THERE. YEAH. SPEAKING OF THAT, DO WE HAVE ANY MORE IN THE QUEUE COMING UP FOR REQUESTS BECAUSE. NO, OKAY. I DON'T NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF. SO THIS CAME UP LIKE A LONG TIME AGO. AND THEN WE HAD OUR LAST MEETING. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT CAME IN AFTER THE DAY AFTER OUR MEETING LAST MONTH. AND I WAS LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS COMING. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A DEAD, YOU KNOW, AT THAT POINT. BUT I DO NOT HAVE CONTACT WITH ANYONE AT THIS POINT LOOKING FOR ANOTHER EVENT. AND I THINK MAYBE AFTER YOU DISCUSS IT AT COUNCIL, THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE DIRECTION. AS FAR AS MAYBE WE'RE DONE, I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, FOR AT LEAST FOR THIS YEAR, THIS ONE THAT YOU JUST APPROVED THAT FELL THROUGH LAST YEAR. OKAY, THAT WAS APPROVED LAST YEAR TO DO THAT. WHICH ONE? THIS ONE WAS THIS WAS APPROVED BUT FELL THROUGH. THEY DIDN'T THEY DIDN'T EVER DO IT. THEY THEY THEY NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH ON IT. I DON'T REMEMBER APPROVING. I DON'T REMEMBER THAT CAME THROUGH IF IT HAD TO BE A FEW YEARS. BUT I KNOW THEY DID LOOK AT IT LAST YEAR. OH, OKAY. MAYBE IT NEVER GOT THERE. 
          THE LAKE WASN'T READY TO GO THROUGH. WATERSHED DISTRICT MIGHT HAVE DONE IT. OH YEAH. 
          JUST. YEAH. OKAY. AND I KNOW CARL DID. THEY HAD THAT ONE IN THE WINTER THAT THEY WERE PLANNING. IT WAS THE BING CROSBY THAT WAS GOING TO BE DOWN ON LOT THREE DOWN THERE. 
          AND THEN IT THEY DEEMED IT TOO COLD, WHATEVER. IT WAS A REALLY WARM JANUARY DAY. BUT WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THEN IT WAS CANCELED ANYWAY, THEY WENT INDOORS. SO YEAH, I MEAN, HOPEFULLY THIS ONE, WE HAVE NO REASON TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THEN CANCEL IT. BUT SO, CHAD, I HAVE A QUESTION FROM LAST WEEK OR LAST, LAST MONTH, THE THE STILLWATER FILM FESTIVAL, YOU KNOW, HOW WE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, WE APPROVED IT TO GO FOR 2027? WILL THEY HAVE TO 
          [00:55:06]
YOU KNOW, THERE WASN'T A LOT OF DETAIL. WE APPROVED THE DATE, THE DATES. THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO REAPPLY. AGAIN. I'M I MEAN, REALLY WHAT I WAS JUST THINKING IT KIND OF JUST HELD THEIR DATE. I MEAN, THAT THAT'S YOU'D HAVE TO REVIEW THAT APPLICATION. AND OBVIOUSLY WITH WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH HERE, THAT'LL BE ALL PART OF IT. RIGHT? SO EVERYONE WILL APPLY AND GO THROUGH OUR PROCESS AND MEET THE STANDARDS THAT COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, SETS FOR US. SO YEAH, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, IT WAS MULTIPLE LOCATIONS BESIDES THE PARK. SO HIS WAS JUST THE ONE DAY AT NIGHT THEY WERE GOING TO SHOW A MOVIE IN THE PARK. THE OTHER EVENTS THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE ARE GOING TO BE IN THE GRAND GARAGE. AND THEN ON THE ON THE AMMO, THAT'S WHERE THEY WERE GOING TO SHOW FILMS. SO IT WASN'T EVEN GOING TO BE IN THE PARK. BUT THEY WANTED PARKING SPOTS. LIKE THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE, THE REQUEST THAT PROBABLY THE DOWNTOWN PARKING WAS REALLY HAVING A HARD TIME WITH. SO WE'LL GET HELP WITH THAT. AND, YOU KNOW, IT REALLY COULD HAVE JUST BEEN A SMALL FOUR HOUR EVENT AT NIGHT TO WATCH THE MOVIE. YEAH. BUT THEY WERE TRYING TO FOLLOW THE PROCESS. RIGHT. AND WE MET WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. AND I MEAN, THEY DECIDED IF YOU'RE INSIDE THE BUILDING WATCHING A MOVIE, THAT BUSINESS HAS THAT RIGHT TO DO THAT. RIGHT. THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIDN'T HAVE TO GET INVOLVED. IF YOU'RE LIKE IN YOUR PARKING LOT OUTSIDE WATCHING A MOVIE, THEN IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT. BUT IT WAS AN INTERESTING ONE DYNAMIC WISE, HOW WE WOULD HANDLE IT. YES. AND IT COULD GET YOU SHALL SEE. YEAH. WE'LL SEE. YEAH. SO AND AGAIN, SOMETHING DIFFERENT. NEAT IDEA. PARKING IS OBVIOUSLY A CONCERN. AND AND THE NUMBER OF EVENTS RIGHT. IT MIGHT BE LIKE A KIND OF LIKE JUST TO WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN OF LIKE ALL OF THE ONGOING EVENTS AND SEE LIKE, WHO ELSE SUBMITS? LIKE THERE MAY BE OTHER PEOPLE WANTING TO DO EVENTS THAT CAN'T BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS THAT. YEAH. 
          TIME LIKE CONSISTENTLY BOOKED FOR LIKE YEARS IN PERPETUITY. AND SO IT'D BE KIND OF NICE TO LIKE, HAVE LIKE A CALL FOR, I DON'T KNOW, OTHER OPTIONS, OTHER EVENTS. AND THEN LIKE, WE CAN BE MORE STRATEGIC AND LIKE, WEIGH, LIKE WHAT MAKES SENSE MOST FOR LIKE THE DOWNTOWN SPACE VERSUS ASKING PEOPLE TO GO TO OTHER. YEAH, PARKS OR LOCATIONS OR WAS EVEN GOING TO BE A DISCUSSION ON HOW MANY COURSE RACES SHOULD WE EVEN ALLOW, YOU KNOW, LIKE, YEAH, LIKE STILLWATER HAS FOUR EVENTS. IS THAT FAIR FOR THEM TO HAVE FOUR EVENTS AND OTHER PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, SO THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK AT PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING. SO I THINK ALL THAT WILL BE DEFINITELY ADDRESSED AND TAKE SOME, I THINK, PRESSURE OFF OF HERE, RIGHT? IT'S YOU KNOW, THEY COME IN FRONT OF YOU. THEY'RE ALL GREAT CAUSES. BUT YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT BETTER GUIDELINES AND BETTER STRUCTURE, THEN, YOU KNOW, SO. MIKE'S A YES MAN, YOU KNOW, SO SORRY, WHO IS THE COMMITTEE THAT'S WORKING ON CREATING THE GUIDELINES FOR THAT? IS THAT WELL, IT'S GOING TO COME OFF WHAT COUNCIL'S DECISION DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AND THE PUBLIC RELATIONS PERSON FOR STILLWATER. OKAY. OR PUBLIC INFORMATION OR EXACTLY WHAT SHE DOES. BUT THAT'S WHAT SHE DOES. OKAY. SO THOSE TWO POLICE WILL BE INVOLVED. FIRE WILL BE INVOLVED. WE PLAN TO HAVE PROBABLY MYSELF INVOLVED, SHAWN. 
          PROBABLY. YEAH. SO, OKAY, STAFFING NEEDS TO BE THE BIG THING WITH WITH POLICE AND THAT. 
          OKAY, THEN THEN I HEARD THE POLICE DON'T GO UP IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS WHEN THE BIG EVENTS. SO THEY'RE ALL SCHEDULED DOWNTOWN. YOU ONLY HAVE SO MANY POLICE. SO THEN THEY HAVE TO BRING IN LIKE THE GOVERNOR'S OPENER WE HAD. THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WAS THERE. AND I DON'T EVEN STATE PATROL WAS HERE BECAUSE THEY WERE PART OF THE SECURITY FOR THE GOVERNOR. 
          SO IT'S IT'S A LOT MORE GOES INTO DOING EVENTS AND PROGRAMING AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          AND, AND OUR SUBCOMMITTEE, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS, BUT LIKE HAVING LIKE A STAFF PERSON, LIKE THROUGH THE PARKS TO LIKE JUST FOCUS ON LIKE SCHEDULING AND EVENTS AND DOING ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. IT SEEMS LIKE A FULL TIME JOB. LIKE IT IS. I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE CAME OUT VERY GOOD AT THERE AT THE LEGISLATURE LAST NIGHT FOR STILLWATER. IT'S VERY GOOD FOR STILLWATER. SO THE BIG THING WITH PARKS FOR US IS THE ERIE KNOWS WHERE COUNTY ROAD FIVE GOES OUT OF TOWN. THERE'S NO ACCESS TO GET DOWN TO THE BROWNS CREEK TRAIL. WE GOT THE MONEY TO BUILD THE ACCESS TO THE TRAIL DOWN THAT HILL. SO PEOPLE COMING OUT OF TOWN CAN GET DOWN THE BROWNS CREEK TRAIL, AND YOU CAN GET OUT OF THERE. 
          SO THAT THAT WAS FUNDED AT THE LEGISLATURE LAST NIGHT. NICE WASHINGTON AVENUE. EVERYBODY KNOWS WHERE WASHINGTON AVENUE IS OUT THERE BY PERKINS. WE GOT MONEY TO REDO THAT. THAT'S GOING TO BE REDESIGNED TO TRY TO GET RID OF THAT CONGESTION THERE. IT'S IT'S CRAZY GETTING THERE. IT'S HORRIBLE. SO SURPRISED THERE ARE NOT MORE ACCIDENTS. IT'S HORRIBLE. YEAH. 
          THE VETERANS MEMORIAL GOT $350,000 TO DO ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY WANTED TO DO UP THERE. THAT WENT THROUGH LAST NIGHT. I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT FOR MYRTLE MYRTLE STREET. YEAH, WE HAVE MONEY TO DO MYRTLE STREET, SO THAT'S COMING NEXT YEAR. IS THERE ANY WORD ON THE THREE MONEY YET? NO. THERE'S ANOTHER LAWSUIT. THEY'RE TRYING TO FIND OUT. THEY'RE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSES THE PFAS IN THE WATER HERE. SO THAT DID OPEN OUR OUR TREATMENT PLANT THERE BY BENSON PARK AND BENSON PARK. THAT'S THAT'S ACTUALLY UP AND RUNNING NOW. SO YEAH, I WAS JUST ASKING EVERYONE ABOUT THE, THE ANDREW QUINN WAS TALKING ABOUT THE SEDIMENT. AND THEN THE FRIENDS OF LILY LAKE HAD ALSO TALKED ABOUT PUTTING IN THE PROPOSAL FOR THE MONEY, THE GRANT, GRANT MONEY, THE MONEY. I DON'T THINK HE'S HEARD BACK YET. HEARD BACK YET? NO. HE HAD HIM WHEN HE WAS HERE. RIGHT. I HAVE NOT HEARD OFFICIALLY YET. 
          THE COUNCIL APPROVED LOOKING AT UPGRADING LILY LAKE. IT HASN'T. THAT BUILDING HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED IN 60 YEARS. IT'S NEVER BEEN TOUCHED. AND THE BATHROOMS ARE JUST BAD. I MEAN, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY CALLS I GET ON THE BIG TOURNAMENT WEEKENDS FROM LADIES THAT THEY WON'T GO IN THOSE BATHROOMS. SO THEY GET IN THE CAR AND DRIVE TO A GAS STATION SOMEWHERE. IT'S THAT BAD. SO WE'RE STARTING THAT THURSDAY, ACTUALLY LOOKING AT A PLACE TO UPGRADE THE FACILITY. 
          I KNOW, WHY DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT THIS, MIKE? DO I HAVE IT? OH, NO. I GOT DOWN HERE. I THINK YOU DID A LITTLE BIT ALREADY, BUT I PUT A COUPLE PICTURES ON HERE FOR EVERYBODY.

SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I WAS THAT SHE CAUGHT A LEGAL WALLEYE? YEAH, I KNOW, I SAW DAN DOWN THERE, BUT IT WAS A GOOD CROWD ON FRIDAY NIGHT. FRIDAY NIGHT WAS VERY GOOD. IT WAS THE WHOLE COMMUNITY WAS INVOLVED. AND THE BIG THING, THE BIG DEAL WITH THAT WAS THAT WE HAD PEOPLE COME FROM LIKE 90 DIFFERENT PLACES TO COME TO STILLWATER TO THE PRESS, AND THAT, AND IT WAS A GOOD PROMOTION FOR STILLWATER. NICE PEOPLE. PEOPLE REALLY LIKE STILLWATER. I MEAN, REALLY LIKE STILLWATER. WE TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, EVENTS FOR PEOPLE OF STILLWATER GO DOWN. I MEAN, I,

AND THEN MYSELF AND CODY CODY'S THE HE'S ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS. WE ACTUALLY WE GUIDED MISS MINNESOTA AND HER MOTHER. WE HAD HER FOR THE TRIP. AND THERE FROM PARK FALLS FISH A LOT AND STUFF. SO RIGHT RIGHT HERE SHE WAS DOING A TIKTOK OR DOING A TIKTOK VIDEO THING. YEAH. SOME GUYS FLYING BY AND SEES HER HOLDING THESE TWO FISH FOR A LONG TIME, WHICH ATTRACTS ATTENTION. AND HE PARKS RIGHT NEXT TO US. BASICALLY, WE COULD HAVE CLIMBED IN HIS BOAT AND THEY CAUGHT LIKE A 29 INCH WALLEYE, WHICH WE WERE THINKING WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE CAUGHT. 
          BUT ANYWAY, BUT IT WAS PRETTY NEAT HAVING HER IN THERE. HER AND HER MOM, THEY CAUGHT A SIX INCH WALLEYE AND THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS THE GREATEST THING. AND TAKING PICTURES WITH IT LIKE, BUT THEY EVERYONE LIKE MIKE, SHE SAID. SENATOR HALSEY WAS SO HAPPY AND, AND THEY WERE HAPPY. LIKE IT WAS JUST THEY DIDN'T NEED A LOT OF FISH, BUT AND IT WAS A WINDY DAY. IT WAS TOUGH. IT WAS A TOUGH, IT WAS TOUGH. AND THEN THE, YOU KNOW, THE THE GOVERNOR ACTUALLY CAUGHT WALLEYES. WE PUT HIM WITH A GUIDE THAT KNEW ONE GUY IN STILLWATER AND HE CAME DOWN AND GUIDED THE GOVERNOR. SO THE GOVERNOR, I KNOW, CAUGHT TWO WALLEYES AND I THINK IT WAS A WHITE BASS. AND THEN HE WENT OUT WITH HIS FAMILY ON A PONTOON BOAT. WE CAUGHT 12 WALLEYES. JUST SAYING. IS THAT YOUR BOAT? YEAH. NICE. AND THIS IS THE FISH. WHEN WE WERE LOOKING FOR FISH, I CAUGHT THAT THE DAY BEFORE. NOTICE HOW CLEAN THAT BOAT IS. YOU KNOW, ONCE, ONCE I TOLD HIM WE PUT MISS MINNESOTA IN HIS BOAT, HE'S HE'S SHINING UP HIS BOAT, VACUUM. CODY WENT OUT AND BOUGHT A NEW OUTFIT FOR FISHING. IT WAS A REALLY THAT'S A TRUE STORY. THAT'S NOT JUST MADE UP. I DON'T THINK IT WAS BIG, BUT IT WAS A REALLY NEAT EVENT AND IT WAS FUN. THEY. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW IF ANYONE. THE NEXT. WHEN THEY WERE FOR LUNCH, THEY PUT THE BIG ANDIAMO, THE SHOW OR THE ONE OF THEIR BOATS UP AGAINST THE WALL. AND THAT'S WHERE LUNCH WAS SERVED. BUT JUST HAVING IT, YOU KNOW, UP AGAINST THE WALL, IT LOOKED SO COOL. IT WAS IT WAS REALLY NEAT. SO LIKE THEY WORK WITH LIKE THE RED LAKE NATION FROM UP NORTH AND WILD RICE AND WALLEYE. THEY DONATED ALL THE WALLEYE AND IT WAS A TRUE COMMUNITY EVENT. THE, THE HALL OF THE HOTELS PUT UP ROOMS, DOWNTOWN LAKE LOWELL AND DID THE FISH FRY FOR EVERYBODY FOR THE FISHING CONTEST, WATER STREET AND DONATED FOR ALL THE PRESS, PRESS AND EVERYBODY TO COME IN THERE. SO THE HOTELS AND EVERYBODY REALLY GOT ON BOARD WITH IT. THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE UPDATES AFTER THAT? NO.

BELIEVE ME, I'VE HEARD IT FROM ALICE AND MANY TIMES ALREADY. 
          AS A MATTER OF FACT, OVER THE WEEKEND I HEARD FROM HER AGAIN. YEAH. AND I KEEP TELLING HER, 
          [01:10:02]

INCLUDE ME ON THAT TOO, WILL YOU? AND WE CAN ALL ARE GONNA WANT A CC AGREEMENT AND STUFF. SO WE'LL LET THEM KNOW THAT WE'RE AT WITH THE NATIONAL PARKS AND PEOPLE, RIVER AND CITY STILLWATER, AND THAT THERE'S STILL A LOT OF DECISIONS THAT NEED TO BE. THEY HAVEN'T EVEN GOT THE WHOLE THING.

YOU NEED TO UPDATE ME BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA ON SOME OF THIS STUFF BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN IT SINCE THEY WERE HERE. SO ANY OTHER MEMBERS I, I GOT ONE TEDDY BEAR PARK WONDERING IF YOU COULD PULL UP AN AERIAL OR MAYBE I CAN JUST EXPLAIN IT. 
          I WAS SEEING THE PARENT DARWIN AWARDS WITH THEIR KIDS BEING DISPLAYED, AND THAT IS PEOPLE ARE LETTING THEIR KID AND I. YEAH, I'M TRYING TO BE FUNNY, BUT IT'S NOT FUNNY. OKAY? PEOPLE WERE KIDS WERE GOING ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP FROM THE AMPHITHEATER. AND I WAS KIND OF WONDERING, I CAN TALK TO YOU, BUT THEY'RE HANGING AROUND THE EDGE WHERE YOU COULD FALL OFF THERE. I MEAN, THAT'D BE A LIE. I ACTUALLY NEVER KNEW YOU COULD GO THAT HIGH. AND THEY WERE AT THE VERY TOP OF IT. AND APPARENTLY WE DO NOT DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT THEM THERE. AND I. 
          YEAH, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK. YEAH. YEAH. THANK YOU. WE CAN STOP THEM FROM GETTING UP THERE WHEN IT'S WHEN IT'S GROWN. IT'S TOUGH TO GET UP THERE RIGHT WHEN ALL THE VEGETATION. I THINK THERE'S SOME CREATIVE WAYS THEY'RE GETTING IN. BUT RIGHT NOW I THINK IN THE SUMMER WE USUALLY DO NOT HAVE THAT HAPPEN AT ALL. YEAH. BUT AND IT'S REALLY ON THE PARENTS TRULY. I MEAN, IT IS BUT THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING. YOU'RE RIGHT. YEAH. SO I'LL CONNECT WITH YOU AFTER. OKAY. BIG SIGN. SKATEBOARD PARK I THINK IS STILL MOVING ALONG. I SAW IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY'S IN THERE WORKING AWAY. WELL, THEY WERE PARK. THAT WAS FOR THE COLLAPSE. 
          SINKHOLE? YEAH, THE SINKHOLE. THE SEWER TUNNEL THAT COLLAPSED. SO THAT'S WHY THE EQUIPMENT WAS IN THERE. AND THAT ACTUALLY PUSHED BACK A LITTLE BIT. XL GETTING IN THERE. WE'RE STILL WE CAN FIND IT'S STILL GOING TO BE DONE. I JUST DON'T KNOW THE THOUGHT. WE HAD A PLAN AND NOW IT'S A LITTLE BACKED UP. BUT THAT'S WHAT ALL THAT WORK WAS. SO YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THERE WAS SOME REMEDIATION OF SOME POLLUTANT IN THERE THAT WASN'T DONE YEARS AGO. AND THEN BEFORE WE MOVED FORWARD, XCEL ENERGY IS TAKING CARE OF THE REMEDIATION OF THE WHATEVER WHATEVER'S IN THERE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS, BUT. YEAH, AND THEN I HAD A QUESTION. I WAS DOWN BY THE OASIS, YOU KNOW, SO THAT LITTLE I WANT TO SAY IT LOOKS LIKE A GRASS PARKING DOWN THERE. IS THAT WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE OR IS IT GOING TO BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT? THAT'S WHERE THERE'LL BE A PICNIC SHELTER TO THE SOUTH OF THAT. AND IT'LL BE, IT'LL BE THERE WILL BE A PARKING LOT AND SOME GRASS. YEAH. I WAS JUST WONDERING ABOUT BECAUSE WHEN I WAS DOWN THERE, I JUST SAW EVERYBODY WHO HAD DONE WHEELIES AROUND, YOU KNOW? YEAH. I THINK THERE'LL BE MORE OF A SOMETHING TO PREVENT THEM FROM DOING THAT. I MEAN, YOU CAN OBVIOUSLY JUMP A CURB, BUT YEAH, IT'LL LOOK A LOT DIFFERENT. AND I CAN I THINK WE HAVE A DRAWING THAT I CAN I CAN BRING FOR NEXT. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE GREAT TO REVIEW THE WHOLE PLAN OF THE WHOLE THING BECAUSE THE ROADS ARE SUPPOSED TO START PRETTY QUICK UP AT LUMBERJACK LANDING UP THERE. AND. THAT'S WHY, THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T OPEN THE BUILDING YET, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE ROAD, THE ROAD DONE, IN THE PARKING DONE AND THE PARKING LOT AND HOW YOU GET TO IT AND EVERYTHING. SO THAT'S MAYBE LATER THIS FALL. BUT RIGHT NOW THEY GOT TO GET THE SHORELAND SHORELINE DONE AND ALL THAT. THE DOCK IS OUT FOR DESIGN RIGHT NOW. THE PUBLIC DOCK DOWN BY THE OLD MILL THERE. SO THAT'S ALL FOR DESIGN RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S AT, BUT SHAWN'S WORKING ON ALL THAT. AND I HEARD, I HEARD, I HEARD, I DON'T KNOW, THE SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION WANTS TO BUILD DUGOUTS FOR THE ON THE GIRLS FIELD SOFTBALL FIELD AT THE LILY LAKE. JUST LIKE THEY DID AT NORTH LONDON UP THERE. WELL, THEY ARE THEY JUST DID IT FOR THE LOWER FIELD, FOR THE BASEBALL FIELD AND SAVE US TO OUR BASEBALL PAID FOR ALL OF THAT. AND THEY LOOK REALLY NICE. IT'S JUST LIKE THE WOOD FIELD, BUT A LITTLE BIT SMALLER 
          [01:15:04]
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT'S SMALLER DUGOUT, BUT THE SOFTBALL WANTS TO DO THE SAME THING, PAY FOR IT, AND DO IT UP TOP TO MAKES IT LOOK REALLY NICE LIKE IT DOES. I GUESS WE GOT ANOTHER. 
          WE'RE WORKING ON THE PAVERS AT WASHINGTON. THERE'S A LOT THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED AND WE'LL LIFTED. AND SO THAT'S A BIG PROJECT GOING ON RIGHT NOW. AND WE ARE DOING LIKE SOME PAINTING OF THE THE PILLARS THERE AND AT TEDDY BEAR PARK TO KEEP IT LOOKING NICE. SO SOME EVENTS WE HAVE THE STILLWATER MARATHON ON SATURDAY, HALF MARATHON ON SATURDAY, LUMBERJACK OR LUMBER STOCK ON FRIDAY NIGHT. THAT'S THE HIGH SCHOOL. KIND OF LIKE THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS THEY DO AND THEN DANCE. HERE IS THE FOLLOWING WEEK IN THE 29TH AND 30TH. IT'S A TWO DAY THING NOW. 
          SO A FEW LITTLE EVENTS, SOME MUSIC AND STUFF TO GO SEE IN THE PARK WILL BE BE NICE. SO THAT'S THE NEXT MONTH. DOES A SPIDER WEB GET REPLACED? IT DID. WE FINALLY FOUND ONE. OKAY. AND THEN I WAS GOING TO ORDER TWO. BUT IT WAS EXPENSIVE. I WAS LIKE, WELL, JUST BY THE TIME IT NEEDS REPLACEMENT, MAYBE WE HAVE TO DO ALL OF IT, I DON'T KNOW. SO IT WAS A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN I THOUGHT, BUT THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT WAS A CHORE TO FIND THAT IT'S HARD TO FIND. THAT'S LIKE JUST TOOK A YEAR. IT WAS SO I COULD APPRECIATE IT. I STILL DON'T KNOW THE GUY WHO TOOK IT AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO MAKE ONE. LIKE HE'S GONE. LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, BUT HE HAS THE OLD ONE. WELL, SOMEBODY TOOK IT. YEAH. I FOUND A REP THAT WAS WILLING TO DO IT. HE TOOK IT. HE WAS GOING TO REPLACE IT, AND HE'S NOT ON THE MAP ANYMORE. TEDDY BEAR PARK OR WHERE IT'S A NICE ONE AT HIS HOUSE. LANDSCAPE STRUCTURES HAVE SOMEBODY DOES IT THEIR BUSINESS THAT ORIGINALLY DID IT OUT OF BUSINESS. OH, SO NO ONE WANTS TO TOUCH SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK? WELL, THE GUY DID THE THE GUY I DID THE BACKSTOP FOR AT THE GIRLS SOFTBALL FIELD AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, THAT'S HE SPECIALIZES IN THAT TOO. AND SPIDERWEBS, I LOVE IT. IT'S A NET COMPANY. THAT'S THEIR JOB. IT'S A NET COMPANY THAT'S. I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR A YEAR. IF ANYONE KNEW ANYTHING YOU ASK ME NOW THAT I FOUND ONE NEVER ASKED ME. 37 YEARS IN PARKS. I HAD TO DEAL WITH IT AT LAKE ELMO. NOW IT'S UP TO SWING TO TAKE CARE OF IT. IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? YES. SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR,
