- I've looked at those. I'll make a motion to accept the accounts payable expenditures. Is there a second?
- I'll second. Ronnie, roll call. Jimmy Durnall. Yes. Laura Hill. She's not present. Katie Mike. Yes.
- Ron Van Eever. Yes. And Emily. Yes.
- motion passes. Okay, I've got down here review of the organizational plan. I'll just update you. So
- you may already know that the organizational plan passed the final vote of the two, of the two boards,
- two to one on the Richland side, which scared us because the Don voted yes. And then I can't remember
- his name, Hickenbottom or what is his name?
- Something like that. Anyway, he voted no and we thought maybe the other one might be leaning no, but
- he voted yes to take it to the public. So it's gonna go to the public November the 2nd. So that's where
- we're at. And that's the township board members? That's township and town board also. The town board
- voted four zero four. We had one absent that night. I'd like to ask you,
- I got the right. I'd like to ask you, I'm going to be gone the first Monday of August. Would August
- the 12th work for anybody to move our meeting to? Yes. All right. Okay. I'd like to have a motion on
- that. I'll make a motion. I'll second. Katie made the motion. Got a second? Yeah, I'll second. Emily,
- Emily second. Ronnie, roll call.
- Ron Van Eever, yes. Jimmy Durnall, yes. Yes. Laura Hale, not present. You voted for me now. Yeah. Katie
- Michael. Yes. And Emily. Yes. Thank you. Who seconded that? Ricky, pardon me? Who seconded that? I did.
- I did. OK. Yeah. Thank you. Ricky, what do you got for us? Well, I've just been trying to do work with the race.
- MAG-7 series chose our race as a special gym race for the year. So if you participate in our race, you
- get extra points. Because people who sign those races get some points in the year. So they did that.
- So I went to, I gave you time. And I actually made them a co-race director so they have access
- to registration. So that when people come that morning, they can just go right to them. They can give
- them access the way they go.
- If I can make the race kind of better and better, I have to say to the people I have this year, I may
- have to think about moving the starting line up further to probably get a little bit up here. But it
- doesn't really matter because the chip time in your race time does not start until you cross the starting
- line. Whereas what we've been doing, it starts the same time for everybody. So if it takes you 30 seconds
- to get up there, you're not going to run. Yeah, you don't want to apply that.
- I've sent out a couple of email glasses. Everyone who's ever read it in the last three years, I've got
- people signing them already. I've got the shirts picked out. Night out promotions, they make signs.
- I've had them make a sign for me on the professional site for a pacing chart. I made those three signs,
- and one will be not to park at People's Day Bank, so we don't have that since we've
- Do you think I need to go in there and say something to say? You need to go talk to him. Would you be
- OK if people parked there? Well, what I was thinking, why can't we take 10 or 12 cones down there and
- block off parking spots? See what he says about that. Yeah. And in fact, I had another sign made for
- the other end to close off the thing. I got to give it a mark back because I think the Monroe County
- parks, they want to be named as a park.
- They want a certificate of insurance that they're covered. And Mark Batch suggested that problem. He's
- already done that for me in prior races. So I got all of them. He's going to do that for this race.
- It's just a little certificate that they're covered. So pretty much, I got the awards already picked
- out. I got the poor quality order. So I'm going to just kind of get this up lined up because the more
- cushion I have, I just feel better having something all done.
- So that way I can focus on, is there anything else now I can do to make it bigger and better for people?
- What's the date? It's September 19th. And parking is still going to be a fair old challenge. It's going
- to be a challenge, yeah. Investors in the Marcy J. Lewis Park, which isn't a problem so far. I've all
- offered to run races myself for races. I'm going to try to get a hold of Luther Church. But they never
- returned my calls about parking in their parking office.
- There's no right there. I'm sorry. No, I think that'd be OK. Yeah. Would vendors be close enough to
- use it? Yeah, it would be. I never really thought about going there and asking vendors. Also, the old
- fire station, is that part of the name? Oh, that's what he's talking about. Yeah, that's what I said.
- Marcy Lewis, yeah. When they say Marcy J. Lewis, they see that people will park there. OK. If there's
- no one spot there, they'll park there. OK.
- My problem is just trying to make sure people don't park where they're not supposed to. And I'm sorry,
- I did not mean to upset you. I did have on my website, do not park, which I did in this year, don't
- park when people come in. But I will have a big sign, a little sign saying do not park. So. Let's see
- what he says about taking 5, 10,
- 15 colons down there. Yeah, yeah. Say what he needs for that day. Yeah, they do. Yeah, they just use
- them for the fireworks. And we've got some station to. They seem to. I mean. I don't play on getting
- run over by.
- in the near future, but I could get sick or something. I mean, there's definitely somebody that I would
- be more than willing to train and aid in. I bet it's all lined up. Here's the phone numbers. Here's
- all you need to do. Here's a little cheat sheet. These two, this is all I'm going to do to be ready
- for this race. If you can find somebody that you want to take this course with, it's not that I would
- want to not stop doing it. You know, I'm not 25. You know, I could get sick or who knows.
- I would be interested in helping you and learning from you and stuff. I don't know if the town council
- would have to approve that as well. He's a volunteer right now. I'm more than willing to help out this
- year. I've got a story that I can sit down and take a look. I've got pretty much a lay down who to call.
- It's just fine to just try to make those signs. And each year I try to do something to make it a little
- bit better.
- But it'll be to the point where you don't really need to do anything. And it's to the point where here,
- you just got to follow these things and do it. Well, it's good to have that set up, that second person
- set up, ready to go in case something did happen. And my son, he's got to come. He's kind of like a
- photographer or something. He can make a nice little video, like they send out to people. But I had
- to check this run sign, because generally, when you sign up for something like that,
- Within the waiver is an agreement that you agree to get your picture taken. And if that's in there,
- then I'll have them do it. If it's not in there, I'll probably avoid doing that. Because I don't understand
- why you would object to having your picture and video in the race. But usually, they have it in there.
- We have the rights of videotaping and whatever. That's all there. And if there's anything else that
- you think I can do,
- Well, I put it on my neighbor and then Denise puts it on the town Facebook.
- Is it on the town of Facebook? I don't have Facebook. Well, it doesn't answer race approaches. I mean,
- it's kind of too early to do that, because people created others. But maybe like a month beforehand?
- I don't know. I would say that it's not quite too early. I want to see if Denise can get it out there.
- But she's done that for me before. And like I said, I sent that email last. I just sent the second one.
- So everyone who's ever participated in this. And that's why I'm starting to get people already signed up.
- We just missed five pay at the fairgrounds, and I mean, we knew about it like maybe three or four months
- in advance, but there were way more people than they expected the last time because of, I guess, how
- much notice they put in. Yeah, the next step in the series pulls in people just because of that, and
- then maybe that's just because of that, especially Jill, because Jill Massey, who's the director of
- that, said that she kind of likes our rates. Yeah. She's running it every year. So she designated that,
- and that really helps out.
- At some point in time, I don't want to leave that site. I think it's a real good site. It's just the
- logistics aren't that great in that corner for people parking and getting to that. But I don't want
- to leave that site. Because there's no way you could park in that. Across the street, you've got all
- that marine area by the trail. But there's no smooth, flat. You've got to drive over the curb to get in.
- You know where the race starts, right across the street, there's that grassy area on this side of the
- trail. So you've got Heart Street Road coming up to 46? Which side of Heart Street? And he's talking
- about the grass area? How about the creek? Yeah.
- There's a gate there. But there's like a little curb that you'd have to drive. I'll have to check with
- Mike on that. It's not like a driveway. That wouldn't quite work. If it wasn't muddy or something. A
- couple of hours it's just going to hurt the grass. Definitely can't do it where the new
- No, because there's no little bridge across that creek. Well, exactly. Plus, it's just fresh grass.
- I mean, it just moved a plant. And there's not any place really to park in there anyway in that building.
- It's just for a few cars. Right. So you have to walk all the way up, walk that little access road between
- Heart Street and that little big room. I don't think you want people walking on that little section
- of Heart Street between the corner and... Probably not. No, that's right after the good state block.
- By the way, I had been at an intersection before. People were blowing that red light. Hurt, right? Yes.
- So I always watch when I try to cross it. Because I go there sometimes to park the car, I guess, to
- use the trailer. And I learned one time that, man, I got to do the stop. Would an all-terrain vehicle
- help you or a golf cart? You know, I didn't say anybody that really would, because here's what happens
- before the race. I usually go down.
- the night before I put up my distance arms, because I learned that I can't do that race day,
- there's no way. But I do have to put out cones, and I do need to really kind of give the course, ones
- where I always warn people about wall messing, perhaps being on the internet, that way I could maybe
- do a sweep of the course, put my cones, get my sign out there, close the course, and I can take my people
- down there, but I have someone stationed at the model turnaround, and then by patron,
- And then I get back, because otherwise I have to drive out on, what is that, Hart Street, and then drive
- in there. And it is pretty anxiety-ridden right before the race. And then I have stuff I have to set
- up. So if someone could have a part out of it, that would be really, really nice of all. Good. Do you
- know that someone might have it? Might be able to come up with something, maybe. Yeah. OK. I would say
- thank you. If you could pull that off, that would be really nice.
- We might have to do a little sponsorship for the people, but I think we could get. Yeah. Well,
- if we have to, let's just read in the park. Yeah. If Ronnie can't get the funds, we'll just read to
- your card for that day.
- But doesn't the town have like those little, what do you call those little ATV type of things? Yeah,
- they do have an ATV that I was thinking about the town has that maybe we could use that day. Or talking
- to Bobcat and seeing if they would loan us one like they've done for other events. Yeah, that's a good
- idea. Very, very good. And then we just give them sponsorship some way for people to see that.
- Yeah, whatever you can do in that regard, that would really help. That would really help. All right.
- Thank you. That's all I have. OK. I think Emily was on the Facebook thing. I don't think she's talking
- about just making a post. On Facebook, you can create an event. And then people can say, interested
- in going or not interested. And you can share. It's something that they kind of follow. It's not just like a,
- like Denise posting one time on the Facebook page. Do you think Denise knows how to do that?
- Probably not. If she doesn't, I mean, I do. I mean, if you give me, like, details, I could, I mean,
- it's not very hard. My phone, do you want my phone number or email? Can we, just a second, Ricky,
- hold on. Before you share that information, let's do that later. Okay.
- Yeah, just let me know. Yeah, I can make that. I mean, it's really easy to make an event. I have an
- Ellipsville email. I'm keeping this in there. We have some issues. The town is not going to do the typing
- for the parks board now. So after tonight, we'll be down two months, which isn't bad. So I don't know.
- You want me to try to outsource it?
- What do you mean the typing? Like typing the minutes? Yeah, that's right here. I'll not take care of
- it, but. You could type? Well, yeah, I could type. You want to try? Yeah, I mean, do we think that the
- town could maybe come up with a little extra money? I think $25 an hour would be pretty good. That's
- a good job.
- No, I'm serious. I'd be interested in doing that. Okay. So, all right, you get with Serena. Okay, get
- the paperwork. Like I say, we're down two months. Okay. And you got to do it on this paper. Right. Okay.
- I will get with Serena and follow up on that. Let the record show that Ronnie Vendee is going to do
- the typing. What a great lift. Thank you very much. Do you have any problem with
- Leah's still doing the agenda. I just walk in and tell her, you know, what I want. If she would send
- it out. Well, we didn't, we didn't get it till about two o'clock this afternoon, but I'll try to do
- that. I'll try to do that. And then we need to, I mean, it was nice getting the accounts payable and
- expenditures and stuff like that from Nicole. Oh yeah, she sent them to you? Yeah, she used to send
- them and I have not received them. I mean,
- Do we not need to bring any more accounts payable then? No, if we can get them sent to us so we can
- look at it earlier. I thought you said they were being sent to you, so. Well, they were being sent to
- us and then recently, like within a month or two, they stopped. Okay, I'll check on that tomorrow. Okay,
- is there anything else?
- Looking into next year, I'll probably still remain on the board, but I'm going to have to turn over
- the presidency to someone else. So be thinking about that between now and then. I'd say Ronnie would
- be a good candidate for that. So it's everything else. Katie? I don't have anything. How's my little
- girl? She's good.
- on the minutes on the old business was there anything that you found out about the memorial service
- how'd that go you went real well that went I just
- Yeah, well yeah Jill Thurman and Lisa Lisa Kuhn Lisa something I can't think her last name now, but
- she did a nice job So now I do like the decorations they put around them. Mm-hmm. Yeah Mike Farmer handled
- that so Okay, all right, what else so
- What's the name of the people that televised this? This will make BCATS assure the next meeting is August
- the 12th at 5 p.m. And if there's nothing else, I entertain a motion to adjourn. I will make a motion.
- I'll second. Katie? I'll second. Emily, second. Ronnie, roll call. Jimmy Dharman? Yes. Laura Held, absent.
- Katie Michaels? Yes. Ron Van Dever, yes. Emily?
- Yes. Motion carries. Well, thank you all for coming.
