order I did want to welcome our new   members um Brad pral and Tin Freeman thank 
you glad you could join us okay um I don't   think we've got any I guess we need to 
approve the G the agenda for tonight first I would motion to approve the agenda as as 
I have a I have a question on that process uh if   we want to add a followup from a and I don't 
know since Molly's not here maybe we can't get   any followup from the last meeting would we put 
that on as an amend amending the agenda if we're   asking for followup of like what did they do as 
far as our request um about the little Library   let's say or about the sculpture program yeah 
I was going to ask that same question and so I   don't know if that needs to be an agenda item 
like followup of old business or I it you know   I can I can get the question to Molly and she 
she can get the answer back to you when she   returns I mean unless you want to put it on the 
agenda formally we could put it on the agenda   formally and then at least then it would be in 
the minutes that to be followed up or to get followup um with that added um going 
I have a motion to accept the agenda I make a motion to accept the agenda 
I'll second that I'll in favor I I I Madam chair did you amend 
the agenda for tonight to   include this or did you just yes we we 
included the you voted on that to okay okay okay now we've got the minutes um for July 25 I move to approve the 
minutes from July 25 I'll second that all in favor I I I right okay the next thing on the agenda is the input 
survey for Veterans Memorial Park and I believe   that's talking about the tree yeah and what Molly 
told me the other day is that we are to I ask her   about the top three because they aren't in that 
kind of order we have to de side on the top three so and I'm a assuming everybody's had a chance 
to see this m um I had um some input from some   of my neighbors and um the top three that I 
heard from them was um Independence Oak um   because of the fact that the seedling was 
planted about 17 76 right and then also   tree of Valor um because of the fact that it 
means Valor meaning great courage in the face   of danger it also u means strength um and also 
strength and encountering danger with firmness   and bravery and then the last one that they um 
liked was commander because of the presidential streets and then what I had done was I read 
through the them all and I looked and picked   out the ones that people had multiple times had 
commented you know so many people and uh came   up with some of those uh Freedom was another one 
that came up multiple times and uh Patriot came   up multiple times um as did the ones that um 
Tina suggested uh commander and Independence   so I just thought well if it came up multiple 
people suggested it at least had something to   go on I mean there were many good ones I 
was like oh we ever going to figure that out and I I think another one that was 
mentioned multiple times was General yeah just to add to the confusion thank you confusion je I think it's got to be explained it's 
not a very good one um Jeff Ratliff was   our um Capital Improvements Project Director 
uh for years had started with the city down in   public works and then ended up with the capital 
Improvement projects Department uh very invested   and many projects in the city a lot that went 
forward a couple that went by the wayside uh   but uh Jeff passed away last year and was 
name was added I'm certain just uh as a   memorial token because of his length of his 
service let me ask you one question John if   um like for instance this one is there going 
to be any kind of plaque explaining who this   person was or is it just the name on the tree and 
knowing Molly I would imagine there would be an   explanation she's very detailed okay that's that's 
my first thought the other day when I was seeing   all these that kind of need explanation right 
yes there will be a plaque we already discuss   as Amy just said if you didn't hear there will 
be a plaque with the description she and Molly   have discussed it so oh okay John not surprise 
yes sir did that gentleman Jeff Ratliff have   any input on the redoing of the park uh any 
think it was a capital Improvement project   yes sir Jeff so he he actually had handson 
for that Park yes sir he saw a lot of yes sir right I know I was thinking of if we could 
find a name that would incorporate something   that or indicate that the age and I liked that 
one um the Patriot because we think of that when   we think of the American Revolution and it would 
be something that would in incorporate some sense   of of age in it but I wonder if if they decide 
to have a name for the tree but like a plaque to   Jeffrey um that I don't know Amy have you had been 
part of any discussions like that yeah there not   will be a black but we're also will explain you 
know the findings of the tree and how old it is   and why it's so important to the city and actually 
then if any of those like Independence or Patriot   or whatever were picked at least then if it was 
explained people would understand get B on age you   know um the significance of that name and I think 
too that there's an opportunity for a tree for   Jeffrey for at the man Park um they 
do trees there with plaques with um   the name of the individual and something 
in remembrance of them at Manatee Park   there's several there so there's an 
opportunity there for a tree in his name okay I also see on how we do this I 
also see a Magic Tree on here a couple times um just as ones that I see multiple times I don't 
think we mentioned that one looks like three   Majestic or Majesty you said no Magic Tree magic 
there was something where it said that that's what   the kids used to call it in the 80s I guess this 
one and then it's on here two other times uh so there a sense from anyone how we might go 
about making a choice something didn't tell   me yesterday I think if we maybe put down 
the top supposed to give them the top three   we go we we pick the top three so maybe if 
picked like right down the top six and then   whichever ones get the top votes then those 
top three are the ones that move on to the   next round right maybe we could do it that 
way I was kind of thinking if if um we've   got some scrap paper or something we you 
could just read them off and then we could just might be the easiest yeah quickest we can use the back we can 
use the back of our minutes   here of our previous we can use the back of this you got your notebook oh how we needs one sheet and then 
Kathy is you can good girl thank you read them   all off so we know kind of know what you've 
got so far cuz I think those are good choic   since they've been mentioned multiple times 
and then I'll read all of these off and first   one was Independence Oak the tree of Valor 
Commander Freedom Patriot General and Jeff ra Ratliff so put down our top three then 
out of those seven so we're just going   to write down which three we like is that 
I guess and we'll see how that see if that   works out can we throw the Magic Tree 
in there oh and the Magic Tree sorry so   there' be eight so out of eight pick the 
top three then right that you like okay we going to go through these and see 
what we've ended up with if any of us we pass them down and see to if we've 
got somebody that this is kind of hard to   do without having a real ballot kind of thingy 
he just put down you know one and cross and yeah yeah just count how many votes for each one 
right eight again one more time sorry okay   we've got independence how did 
we get those out of the batch   here that people that's what y'all 
mentioned that's what appealed to you those eight have been mentioned that 
appealed to you that you didn't get to mention no that's it was Tina's input 
from her neighbors or or from uh   the citizens and then it was also uh 
Betsy's um tallies that had which ones   were most and then some other mentions 
um part of our discussion so those are   the eight that were mentioned during that 
time that's where we got that eight from yeah okay so who do we give these another 
way we could do this is write them all down   and then put one two three next 
to the ones you like the most see if they match we can go ahead and count count what   we've got just see the one 
that has the most repetition correct all different then we startled but 
can you tell me the eight again all right   we've got independent wait a second 
why don't we all write them all down okay change this up right 
okay we've got independent Oak free of Valor Commander Magic Tree Freedom Patriot General and Jeff rwith call out the name and we can was was it Patriot   Patriot if you guys just want 
to write one I only have seven then magic what am I missing magic 
got magic no did miss the Jeff rattet   Jeff rattet that's the that was the 
eighth one that was the E Yeah General why don't we do that which have the most might be   easier then it'll be whichever one has 
the lowest score yes like one is your to might help us come to a decision our 
enumerator yes among your other jobs tonight um did I read off Majesty no Majesty 
cuz that's one we wrote down to so that was   one of the ones Magic Tree the M oh Magic 
Tree we had magic tree and then there was a   magesty and I was just writing these things 
down as people s them okay Kathy are you   collect you want these oh we're gonna 
hand them over here to thank you Marcy can help me look hey John can you 
give me another piece of paper we   need one more piece of paper here's 
a piece right here oh never mind John well first I'm going to write them down okay yeah we can do thatand um the 
next order of business is to   review the cape Center operational 
guidelines that the City attorney   Drew up has everybody had a chance 
to read that and yes and absorb it um I like the fact that he um gave options 
where he said in several of things like as   far as alcohol and um sponsorships and like 
that a lot of Andor so it gave us options it   wasn't you know things that were set 
in stone that was more a little more   flexible right right it it definitely 
provided some flexibility yeah right I didn't really see any any issues with what was 
written and I really didn't see anything that was   necessarily missing I didn't but I also haven't 
read a lot of these types of um I'll go through   and pick and I and I think they also procedures 
also had said that this was like just the first   of many core documents so that's what I saw 
and I'm like well until you had them all you   don't really know like what is covered what's not 
covered the only input that I received was um that   I perceive from people regarding it is the fact 
that there's no priority as far as um exhibits   by Cape Canaveral citizens as far as that being 
they feel like there's been a lot of exhibits   by people from outside the city and not um from 
so much from the citizens and we've got a lot of   great you know artists photographers oh yeah um 
historians and things like that in the city and   um but I think that's just a case of maybe getting 
some more publicity out there's been putting stuff   out asking for for that in the newsletter and 
I wonder if if that really would fall more into   maybe their mission statement or their collections 
management policy and this is supposed to be their   umic Institution plan that we're looking at so um 
operational guidelines yeah yeah it's not about   Cape center right not like yeah so that's why I 
think how how we solicit is might be handled in   a different document or the mission statement 
may say it should prioritize you know citizens   work from you know or showcase citizens work 
because we haven't seen or I haven't seen the   mission statement for it really this is just 
really the basics about operations operational   management of it yeah exactly hence the reason I 
suppose it was drafted by the attorneys to make   sure that it was all legal legal right and the 
important things like alcohol and i n d e p n option of excting this is written or rejecting Patriot can I do this back to her yeah well   the the cape Center's currently 
operating what are they operating on I mean that that would be my question if   um if they if they weren't operating and they 
were waiting for this document to be signed to   operate then that's one thing but if if they um 
if they're currently operating then they're not   waiting for this document correct they're not 
so it could be better than for us to wait till   Molly's here or somebody that's representing 
the cape Center that would be able to speak I   mean yeah as far as the uh I've heard about the 
uh lack of representation of Cape Canaveral uh   citizens in in their projects there and when the 
uh solicitations go out for projects there's no   discrimination it goes out it's advertised 
uh and it's what you know what we get back   that we're that's what we have to choose from and 
again you're correct that is Molly and Amy Lee uh   who handled the cape Center uh but I do know that 
that those solicitations are open to anyone and   everyone um there's no we don't go to any one 
area and um you know try to spot like that we are we're mindful that that we're part of the 
Space Coast Area so we want to be inclusive of   that but certainly if a project comes in that's 
uh or submission that's from a resident here and   it's you know deemed to be better than others 
then that's what will be selected and won't be   used there on the top of the list right yes ma'am 
and as far as advertising the calls for art are   sent to all the local art associations I have 
a very large list our colleges high schools our   um Media Partners is also advertised our weekly 
update Facebook Instagram Twitter next door all   right now it does say in this in this uh cover 
page here that this is the the document that we   received is the first of multiple policy 
documents that the board will review for   this facility so they are operating but obviously 
they AR operating without any policy really yeah um and I think probably from what it looks 
like here I think they found they better get   some legal stuff in line possibly because people 
were asking about private activities or alcohol   guaranteed I rented every every facility we have 
those questions come in so you you're correct   yeah so I I guess if anybody H if anybody has 
anything to amend otherwise I guess I would just   say probably not a bad thing to just say approve 
it and pass it on to the city council because it's   probably something that they want to get wrapped 
up sooner than later you making um well I just was   going to say is anybody have any amendments that 
we'd want to put into to he so uh I don't know that I don't know that this will go to city 
council because on the signature page it has the   uh our board chairperson and it has the city 
manager so I think that it's going to be the   final uh is going to be with us see I didn't see 
that we don't see that it's on the the page oh I   I didn't I didn't phot I didn't front back page 
most important I miss that one is it possible   that um like this is the first of many documents 
to come and it's going to take a while to get   everything that is necessary but uh this is at 
least the first step and they probably are given   a certain amount of time I expect to just legally 
get everything in order and so it really behooves   us to kind of help them get going right and if 
if you uh look at the signature page that you're   referencing uh it's reads reviewed and recommended 
by the culture and leader Services Board uh and be   signed by the chairperson and as uh Joel pointed 
out the city man and that's for the recommendation   so anything binding is is going to go to the 
council they'll they'll have to vote on it okay   it's not like it can't be revised somewhere down 
the road and that's part of the process want you   guys to look at it and see if you had anything you 
that popped out at you there and it doesn't sound   like we do so I would I would go ahead and I would 
make the official motion to uh to ratify it and um   as is as is presented to 
us okay second I'll second it are we ready you to take 
a vote all in favor I I I okay now we can go back to the tree the top three you want to make 
sure the secretary got the results of the yeah they handed it to me she hand for for 
the uh receiving the document yes I had the Joel   made the motion Mary seconded it everyone said 
uh yay except for Brad said perfect thank you   now the three top trees evidently were 
Independence Valor and Patriot the top   three I'm sorry what were they again 
it was Independence tree Valor and Patriot according to what we just okay did well I guess then based on our 
wonderful voting there process   I make the motion that we submit those three top suggestions all in favor I one more thing on here and that is update on 
board membership and the determine the course   forward regard regard regarding the position of 
a second alternate we've got a first alternate   we have two Al alternates currently no we've 
just got one and that is James stby yay and he   is also you know he's allowed to come to the 
meeting and participate in the conversations   I was hoping he'd be here tonight but he is oh 
I'm sorry I didn't I nobody introduced you good   you're here that's great that's why do you have 
any comments wait I guess maybe I'm I'm confused   because we named two alternates right Angel Al 
and then when Angela alter Tina was one of the   no Tina was was original as was Brad because 
there's six of us sitting here right now who's   not here she stepped into Angela missing somebody 
this is this is Jenny because it said Angela's   still out there on the name and I thought oh 
that was me it's been a while since I've done   sorry well I guess here's my question because 
according to what the guidelines were which   were so fuzzy when we were looking at this whole 
process and it hadn't been needed for like ever   because we never had had the problem of having 
more applicants than we had spots right and so   the whole alternate thing you know we we wrestled 
with that for a while but it was my understanding   from the way that document read and when we 
wrestled with it was the alternate positions   are either for one they fill in if if a regular 
member isn't here or two if somebody leaves in   the middle of their term then they would take 
and fill out that term correct that's why you   had the an alternates now Angela's term was 
over yeah it was not that she had left in the   middle of her term so then it should it just 
go to the alternate or should it be what if   there had been other people since whenever last 
spring when we collected these uh applications   that other people had put in applications should 
that not have been opened up for anyone to be uh   filling that three-year commitment because 
when an alternate takes a spot like Tina   and Brad did they were taking somebody's spot 
for a year or two years or whatever Larry and um are we bad or whatever we're horrible um 
do you know you know what I'm saying yeah I   I'm just looking at how they usually do it on you 
know most boards and things like that so that's   where I kind of got confused as to when Angela 
leave so let's say and I can't remember and I   look through my stuff and I know at one time 
Molly gave us like who's up when and what's   date and but I thought that it was always like at 
a certain time of the year like always in October   or something that or whatever that your time is up 
it's online yeah I know it's online but it's not   like everybody has a different date I didn't think 
I thought it was kind of always well I was told I   was filling in for a person who left and that it 
was a very short term and then they automatically   said you're now you're going into the three-year 
term because you filled that short position so   now next you're going into the three-year term 
correct but it wasn't automatically okay if you   remember you I know I did got uh an email from the 
city stting congratulations you've been extended   for the next years appar there was another 
vot oh okay what did it say what did it say   excuse me uh Mr PLL and Miss Freeman they were not 
alternates no they were appointed to the board so   correct she just came she's talking about when the 
person left she just came on early um oh so only   uh Mr stobby and uh Jenny are they're the only 
alternates we have right but I thought that like   I and I don't remember you know like Larry I 
know left early he did not fill out his three   years term and so I thought that when we took 
someone to fill that seventh that sixth spot or   seventh spot or whatever I can't remember the 
other spot came from um although I think we   were always running one short weren't we I didn't 
know we were supposed to have seven in the first   place yeah and I think we were only running 
six and then Larry left and then we had five   um so possibly one person was filling out you know 
could start with a three-year term cuz that was   nobody's so what'll happen is now miss trulock 
her uh term is over so now the first alternate   will step into that seat you've already vetted her 
the board's already I'm saying is what if a bunch   of other people had put in their applications why 
would that seat being it's a three-year not a not   just a midyear or mid cycle opening why would that 
not be open to anyone again I assume because the   process has been followed um I mean this is 
kind of something new they've never had this   situation where they exactly and we went through 
months right of getting everybody everyone vetted   uh through the process with you guys up to the 
council the votes the hearings they had and the   votes they made and that's as as I understand it 
to be that when Angela's term ended like baseball   right with your bench we got a person there that's 
what I thought to put up um right I know when I   submitted my application and I was being vetted 
there was nine candidates and then they basically   you know picked the All-Star team so like your 
baseball analogy so they picked the top ones and   said okay this one you know and you and then the 
board voted okay this one's going to be fill this   spot this one's going to be the alternate so there 
was going to be first alternate second alternate   so they would a you know go ahead and slide in 
to those empty spots and that's why the first   alternate and the second alternate were chosen 
because of the fact of the turnover um that's what   the way what that's what I understood well this is 
this is interesting what they have online because   I I guess that was never explained to us in this 
way the dates they have here of the so I I guess   for clarification the question is do you guys 
want to add another alternate because now we're   taking an alternate and placing them on the board 
as an active member uh not how the process works   that that that if there is a question before the 
board that would be it and well I mean I'd like   to make a motion that we take the next alternate 
and place them on the on the U vacated seat on   the board well they they did already oh and that 
was Jenny yes okay jny and then and then now do   we still have another vacant seat there were three 
three folks that were not chosen as an alternate   or anything else that the people would be still 
interested um yeah but that I mean that would be   for another meeting yes we can't it's not on the 
agenda it's something I guess we have to decide   the problem here is there isn't a written policy 
on how this happens poliy that was written was not   what happened well then that we can bring that 
up at another meeting and I think I think that   the policy if if this is a great thing that people 
want to be involved which it is so we don't want   to discourage this but then we also don't want 
to make people um not see not understand what   the policy is or to be able to read the policy 
as to how this goes because if all boards should   be so lucky that they have people who want to 
participate then I think people should be aware   of what the policy is and the policy as we read it 
when we were discussing this we know was very mad   chair that's not on the agenda tonight um if you 
want to bring this up for discussion in another   meeting you can yes ma'am thank you and I think 
that in that policy then it should be discussed   or it should be evaluated how you deal with the 
first alternate second alternate and when one has   to get moved up what do you do with the opening of 
the second one or or how how is that process done   because you could say well we have one alternate 
that's great but then again what is their   responsibility are is their respons responsibility 
since they're listed now is having expiration term   which I don't know if the alternates understood 
uh online now it's listed that they have what's   their responsibility are their responsibility that 
they are to come to the meetings um or ask for an   excuse because so that they stay up to date with 
what's going on so if one of the regular board   members M present again this is for discussion 
at another meeting thank you we'll move on well   that's why we're we're dis that's why this is 
under discussion right now I made a note to get   it on yeah the agenda I can tell you that when I 
met with Molly the other day um talking about the   alter she explained to you how they can come to 
the meetings we want them to come to the meetings   so they know what's going they can't V vote but 
they can speak and exactly but I don't know if   there but that's what I'm saying is that you 
know every job description or if you're going   to apply for something you you need to know what 
that job description is and what's expected of   you well I've I've put a note here to put this 
specifically on that we need to that we and we   can do a little bit of research and and make 
sense of it before Mak and I do remember her   saying even when she pulled out that policy that 
we kind of had to use to what we were going to do   here I think it need to be clarified it was very 
old and she was kind of like well yeah you know   this really needs to be Rewritten or Revisited and 
um and and especially if we want to encourage more   participation of people um I think it's good to 
be have clarity as to what people are signing up   for it's been very confusing yeah to everybody 
we we haven't had this the type of thing where   we had so many people all of a sudden and and 
to get to the number of people that are sitting   on the board tonight all this started back in 
December and we are finally it was a very long   and winding path to get here and in a way when 
I looked that there were three people that were   not included in any office how long do you wait 
to go back to them if there is if alternates are   getting used and say in like our respect we need a 
second alternate how long do we keep those people   as eligible when it becomes months since well 
I think we need to talk about the policy at the   next meeting I've made I'm going to put it on the 
agenda and do some research and we'll have that   um so we can go ahead and move on tonight yeah 
please and the next thing on the agenda is Mr maybe uh hold on sorry before we move on um it 
says the board may take one of the following   actions regarding this vacancy um recommend a 
previously interviewed candidate to fill the   position direct staff to solicit new applicants 
to fill the position leave the position of second   alternate vacant I would move that we recommend 
that they we leave the position of second   alternate vacant until we come up with a policy 
that's written and clear on uh the expectations   of those that are um that are alternates and then 
how we would um fill the alternate roles and how   the alternates become um board members so so we 
get some more clarity so so of those three choices   that was uh brought forward in the agenda item 
I would I would move that we'd leave it vacant   until we get more clarity on how the process 
works so that means Mr scobby moves up to the   first alternate position correct he's currently 
the only alternate if anyone would step off the   board he would step in and fill that position 
um and but we would not have a second alternate   until we get some clarity on on are we going 
to keep pulling from a pool um can you be   alternates on multiple boards like how how do 
all those things work and then um when do we   vote in new alternates would it only be once 
every year um that we take applications or   are is it an ongoing list of applications 
and the first application that's brought we   review it when when there's a an opening you 
know there's there's a couple different ways   that you could go about that because I did 
find the policy that she gave us and if you   read it it it only talks about using alternates 
to fill out the appointed term of a person who   leaves before the end of their term that's 
all it says as far as the policy and you   know obviously they come with an a regular 
member can't and all of that kind of stuff   it doesn't really talk about you know how 
they should be selected or so yes and how   long their term is and all that right I'm making 
notes I'm going to lots of questions has made a   motion to leave the second alternate vacant for 
the time being until we figure out exactly what   we need to do and I second that motion all 
in favor I I I and and if you want to make   I would say make a followup to Molly there that 
I think that if being that this um procedure was from I've got the date on it here copy um I'll definitely meet with her at least 
once before the next meeting possibly they'll need   to to start to revise that procedure policy as far 
as around board members and and uh alternates to   be more current so is everybody in favor of that 
motion leave it empty for the time being okay all   right now it's Mr Mayberry's time um just uh the 
updates on the baseball field uh I submitted for   my purchase order on the new load of clay we're uh 
installing out there the guys have been doing some   work in the last week uh doing some Landscaping 
out there it looks pretty good right now so we   want to get new clay I'm ordering uh new bases 
and Home Plate um and I think that that should   be pretty good setup for them to go forward they 
have a new uh board uh they were electing members   last week and Joel just confirmed that they did 
get that completed I have to speak with them and   get their schedule so we can coordinate times 
for the bathrooms and everything over there for   game time and practice since those things are on 
timers uh so some coordination to everything to   make sure we've got every all the bases covered 
no pun intended um we've been uh participating in   cleanup around town after the storms thankfully 
we didn't get hit bad uh anywhere and so that's   we're almost through with that about have that 
wrapped up had some uh small issues with some   of the roof but nothing nothing major at all 
so that's pretty much where we are right now   we've got projects the next meting meeting I'll 
be updating you on that we're getting started   on but I'm in the beginning stages of those 
right now planning and getting everything lined up any questions and then as far 
as those two amended it the agenda pass there's some other places I can look but I'll 
make sure we get it for next meeting and I'll put   it on the agenda um and Molly's not here to give 
her part so but she had a family emergency came   up out of nowhere today we were in a meeting when 
she got to call and she left and then she's got   her vacation her uh favorite time of the year is 
Halloween so she takes Halloween week off uh so   that was already planned so she won't be back 
until after uh the 1 of November but can can I   make two comments real fast um first off I and and 
your uh maintenance team are doing a fantastic job   thank you second that to to be uh short-handed and 
taking care of all the parks and with the storm   coming through and everything that that they've 
done and and the other guys chipping in with him   fantastic job so uh yeah that's just hands down 
we've got uh Brian who was Ian's partner on the   maintenance team uh submitted his application when 
we had a supervisory position position came open   and he was selected for that so we moved him 
he's now in the community center in C5 working   there U so we hired a replacement for him and 
we were allotted a new maintenance person this   new uh fiscal year so um I have two interviews 
tomorrow and one on Monday and then we'll be   making a selection for the third person so things 
are looking up but thank you for the I'll pass it   along to the guys they absolutely yeah they work 
hard um second thing is Veterans Memorial Park   looks amazing like it's just it's what it looks 
amazing thank you it's incredible you guys did   an a great job and uh and it just keeps looking 
better all the time so thanks for that uh yeah and   Monday we are slated and excuse me because we' 
got interviews and all this other stuff but uh   Veterans Memorial Park uh we've talked so much 
about the tree tonight everybody knows that we   were planning to put a fence around it to keep the 
kids and things out cuz they climb in it and break   branches off so we're slated weather permitting 
uh Monday this coming Monday the fence is going   to be installed um so hopefully that'll be done 
by the middle of the week uh they got a lot of   roots to work around out there but that that's 
going to be nice you know if there's going to   be like some dedication ceremony about the tree or 
something yes ma'am the on Veterans Day yes ma'am   Monday the 11th November 9th yeah actually um 
the BFW and the American Legion are currently   working on a veterans parade and um they will 
be doing a ceremony at BMP after that and   then they will have a get together in the 
lot where we normally do Friday Fest that   is scheduled for Saturday November the 9th 
at 1111 a.m. the parade route will go down   Taylor um they will turn a left on Ridgewood they 
will come up Harrison to Orange and come back to   VMP so you know come out and and cheer them on 
and watch the parade we think it's going to be great Mr Mayberry yes quick question or actually 
first a comment then a question first I think   our little league baseball field is very maybe 
people don't no uh but I was a umpire okay in   a former life and the field and the field is 
in excellent condition as you know I live by   Sandpiper in the field quick question is there 
room on the field or near the field to put in   a batting cage I have to check into that okay I 
think uh we have a topnotch facility there you   have excellent lighting okay I know there's other 
improvements uh you all are thinking about doing   doing but watching the kids practice I believe 
a batting cage is something whether it's boys   or girls it would come down to a question 
of space because we've got so much with the   splash pad there and as you live there as you just 
stated you saw all the we had to redig all the uh   piping up right and redo it so that whole area 
that is kind of open has got it's just nothing   but sewage pipe and storm water underneath there 
so it would be finding a space that we could put   one I agree with you it would be nice um it can 
be placed on the field because the ground rules   would say once the ball touches the C age it's 
a dead ball and the runner and the batter Runner   immediately gets second base and all Runners move 
up one base that's in the rules okay something   to think about okay we can get together and 
talk about it yeah yes one unire to another yes I just kind of wanted to mention especially 
for the new new people are in alternate here um   because we got messed up in our schedule of 
meetings because of the hurricane um that we   do have a meeting November 21st so it is in 
one month which is unusual I thought it was January okay thanks for that reminder okay is there anything else or do we 
have a motion to adjourn um I make   a motion that meeting is called to uh for 
adjournment I'll second all in favor I I I
