Description
The Committee reviewed Department of Recreation & Youth and Workforce budget presentation.
A
A
We
are
also
joined
by
common
council
members,
kathy
fahey,
sonja,
frederick
richard
conte,
joyce
love
tom
holly.
I
think
that's
dj
there
there
he
is
and
kelly
kimbrough
and
we
are
joined
by
our
staff,
the
incredible
danielle
gillespie,
the
amazing
j.r
pritchardo
and
the
brilliant
michelle
andre.
We
also
look
forward
to
speaking
with
our
commissioner
jonathan
jones.
A
A
B
B
Before
we
start
on
the
budget,
I
did
want
to
provide
a
quick
update
on
where
rec
is.
Currently.
Everyone
knows
that
on
march
13th
we
had
to
shut
our
doors
due
to
covet
19
hitting
our
region
and
that
forced
us
to
close
our
facilities,
our
centers
shifting
work
schedules
and
a
series
of
trainings.
Additionally,
we
were
unsure
of
what
the
summer
will
look
like.
Fortunately,
we
were
able
to
meet
the
mayor's
commitment
to
open
up
all
of
our
pools,
our
spray
pads.
B
We
did
have
summer
day
activities.
They
were
not
camps.
This
year,
we
had
summer
day
activities
for
our
children
as
well
as
we
had
play
streets,
an
innovative
new
start
opportunity
to
reach
the
people
in
a
way
we're
in
their
neighborhood.
Everything
went,
went
without
an
incident.
We
did
have
one
covet
scare
at
the
lincoln
park
pool
on
july
4th,
but
we
were
able
to
remain
open
because
of
the
protocols
that
were
put
in
place,
so
we're
very
fortunate.
B
B
Kobe
was
completed,
the
first
phase
of
that
and
and
there's
more
that
we're
going
to
add
to
that
park
and
franklin
park
just
got
completed
on
friday,
so
more
to
come
on
those
ribbon
cuttings
later
and
next
spring,
but
for
the
fall
on
october,
19th
albany
county
health
department
gave
us
permission
to
open
up
our
buildings.
With
some
modifications,
our
community
center
programs
will
no
longer
be
drop-in.
You
must
register
through
our
rec
desk
app.
You
can
do
that
from
your
phone
from
a
computer
from
an
ipad.
B
All
of
our
gyms
and
centers
will
have
capacity
limits
and
participants
must
register
for
a
specific
time.
Slot
swinburne
this
year
will
not
host
ice
skating.
We
are
mirroring
what
the
county
and
what
the
state
excuse
me,
what
the
state
will
be
doing,
unsure
what
the
county
will
be
doing
in
their
facility,
but
the
state
as
well
will
not
be
having
ice
skating.
B
However,
we
will
be
using
swim
burn
rink
as
a
rental
site
for
teams
and
the
like,
as
well
as
our
outdoor
field,
rentals
begin
in
late
september
and
we're
happy
to
have
that
going.
Pop
warner
just
came
from
their
practice.
Everything
is
very
positive
there,
so
I
know
that
covet
cases
are
going
up
in
our
region,
unfortunately,
and
we
are
prepared
in
that
situation.
B
If
we
go
back
to
new
york
pause
to
bring
recreation
to
our
residents
through
our
wreck
recorder,
that
was
our
public
service
access.
You
know,
opportunity
to
you
know:
do
arts
and
crafts
as
well
as
some
exercise
classes
there,
and
we're
also
going
to
be
using
social
media
as
well
in
some
other
and
innovative
things
that
I
don't
want
to
talk
about
right
now,
because
they're
not
confirmed,
but
all
things
that
we're
very
excited
about
and
continue
to
work
with.
B
Our
partners
so
without
further
ado
on
that
more
to
come
with
our
programs.
Our
hope
is
that
they
will
begin
to
open
in
november
after
the
election
the
week
after
the
election,
we'll
do
hopefully
the
orientation
with
our
parents
so
that
they
can
understand
what
we
expect
of
them
and
of
our
young
people,
as
we
did
in
the
summer
and
then
have
about
eight
to
ten
weeks
of
programming
going
through
the
holidays
to
end
at
the
top
of
the
year.
B
C
Thank
you,
commissioner
johnson.
Thank
you,
everybody
for
having
us
tonight,
one
of
the
things
well,
as
commissioner
jones
said,
we
had
a
very
interesting
2020,
but
from
our
metrics
you
know
fairly
successful
as
we
get
into
the
numbers.
Most
things
are
going
to
be
remaining
the
same.
We
weren't,
adding
or
moving
anything
too
drastic,
so
we're
going
to
go
kind
of
through
the
the
budget
book.
C
If
we
look
into
programs,
this
is
where
some
of
the
bigger
bigger
changes
have
occurred.
In
our
recreation
programs,
we
have
three
part-time
direct
positions
that
we
are
transitioning
to
two
full-time
director
positions,
and
we
are
working
with
the
self-service
commission
human
resources
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
everything
works
out.
C
Additionally,
one
of
our
goals
in
2020
was
to
be
able
to
put
more
emphasis
on
focus
on
programming
in
general,
and
we
added
in
a
significant
amount
to
our
temp
help
for
our
academic
year
programs
and
our
community
center
programs,
as
well
as
summer
programs.
So
that
way,
we
can
ensure
that
we
are
recruiting
seasonal
staff
members
to
be
able
to
provide
instruction,
whether
it
be
yoga,
zumba
or
any
other
sort
of
art
instruction
or
any
type
of
specialized
instruction.
C
From
there
in
our
operations,
division
not
much
change
at
all
one.
One
thing
of
note
is
that
the
aquatics
line
we
are,
we
were
anticipating,
possibly
starting
construction
with
lincoln
park,
pool
to
for
the
pool
renovations.
However,
that
may
not
take
place,
but
as
of
right
now
in
the
current
budget,
it
reflects
what
what
we
would
anticipate
if
we
were
not
operating
lincoln
park,
pool
this
coming
summer
of
2021
other
than
that
the
budget
remains
fairly.
The
same
across
we
did
add
in
uniforms.
C
One
thing
we
did
this
past
year,
we
worked
diligently
with
nick
briley
on
being
able
to
create
the
a
capital
reserve
account
instead
of
bonding
for
funds
for
our
capital
projects,
so
that
way,
we're
not
paying
interest
on
these
funds
on
these
projects,
and
we
were
able
to
calculate
it
out.
We
on
average
we
spend
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
on
capital
projects,
which
are
that
we
can
anticipate
spending
on
a
yearly
basis
via
playgrounds
resurfacing
spray
pads.
C
The
one
bonded
ask
is
because
we
were
putting
in
we
added
an
additional
playground
that
we
didn't
originally
look
at
bonding,
but
our
funding
for
this
coming
2021,
but
it's
it's
one
that
we
want
to
make
sure
we
get
done
as
well,
and
we
we
added
in
some
extra.
We
need
a
little
bit
extra
funding
for
that.
So
that's
where
the
bond
comes
from.
C
Overall,
our
budget
is
relatively
similar
to
2020..
You
know
we
didn't
look
at
salary
raises.
We
didn't
look
at
anything
extravagant,
but
at
the
same
time
we
made
a
lot
of
progress
in
recreation
in
the
city
of
albany
for
the
in
2020,
and
we
look
to
continue
that
into
2021,
and
you
know,
looking
at
slow
and
steady
wins
the
race
as
kind
of
our
our
tempo
we're
moving
forward
and
forward
progress
is,
is
what
we're
we're
excited
about.
So
any
questions.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
justin,
for
that
one.
One
thing
I
do
want
to
add
is
that
many
of
the
common
council
remember
that
we
had
a
contract
with
the
school
district
around
lifeguards.
The
school
district
has
discontinued
that
contract
this
year,
and
so
those
lifeguards
have
been
admitted
from
our
budget
and
now
we're
open
for
questions.
A
Okay,
so
I'll
take
questions
from
committee
members
first,
I
also
should
correct
something
I
I
should
say:
council
member,
derek
johnson
is
here
in
a
more
official
manner,
instead
of
just
saying
dj's
here,
and
I
also
didn't
recognize
our
failed
picker
and
I
apologize
for
that.
Are
there
any
committee
members
with
questions
go
ahead
mike.
D
B
So
we're
going
to
replace
what
the
community
and
what
the
community
would
like
to
see
over
like
done
over
and
on
top
of
that,
some
of
the
equipment
is
no
longer
compliant
with
today's
standards.
It
was
you
know,
a
long
time
ago
from
the
teeter-totters
and
the
like,
but
yeah
when
we
walked
through
that.
D
Okay
and
like
we've,
our
neighborhood
associations
have
pretty
good
zoom
capacity
and
also
uptown
neighborhood
cooperative,
which
uses
that
park
too.
They
have
a
bigger
area
than
just
our
neighborhood
association,
so
I
think
we
can
give
you
a
good
zoom
for
them,
and
I
guess
my
question
is:
when
do
you
think
you
might
be
able
to
present
us
with
the
renderings
and
get
some
feedback
on
wesson
hills
park?.
B
I'm
unsure
on
a
timetable.
We
did
have
a
meeting
with
the
designer.
I
think
that
was
like
less
than
a
month
ago,
on
site
with
dgs
and
she's,
putting
together
all
the
the
renderings
for
all
of
the
parks.
She'll
get
it
back
to
us,
we'll
look
it
over
and
then
from
there
we'll
start
to
schedule
out.
My
hope
is,
we
can
do
this,
be
maybe
at
the
top
of
the
year
in
january,
but
I'm
unsure.
B
D
Can
I
ask
that
question
now
I
know
joyce
and
I
have
had
a
lot
of
discussions
with
you
over
the
past
year
and
covert
delayed
that,
of
course,
but
my
understanding
from
our
last
discussion
is
that
you
are
looking
at
starting
a
new
senior
program
at
the
arbor
hill
community
center,
a
cooking
class,
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
in
cooperation
with
colony
senior
services
they're,
going
to
give
some
assistance
in
doing
that.
But
the
school
district
is
the
one
who
owns
the
arabville
community
center
and
they've.
D
I
asked
her
if
some
of
her
money
was
going
to
go
through
you
to
senior
services,
and
she
said
yes
and
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
fill
us
in
on
when
you
think
the
new
senior
program
at
arbor
hill
is
going
to
open
how
it's
being
funded
through
community
development
money,
and
my
big
question
too
is
I'm.
I
think
it's
great
we're
starting,
but
can
we
grow
that
program?
B
B
It's
allowed
me
to
shift
some
of
the
city
funds
to
that
line,
and
so
I'm
not
losing
any
money,
and
I
appreciate
you
thank
you
thinking
about
me
and
my
family.
I
do
appreciate
that,
but
I'm
not
losing
anything,
but
this
allows
us
to
retain
our
staff.
It
also
allows
us,
over
the
couple
last
few
years
to
bring
some
increases
to
staff
that
were
underpaid
and
so
you'll
see
my
salary
in
the
youth
and
workforce
budget.
E
B
So
I
think
that
program
you're
right,
we
will
have
to
blend
funds
with
face
support
and
with
our
city
contract
money
we
will
be
working
with
the
colony
senior
services
that
has
been
established,
but
we're
going
to
need
to
wait
until
next
year
to
start
that
program,
because
the
kitchen
modifications
have
yet
to
be
made
and
if
they
don't
get
made,
then
we'll
have
to
figure
out
how
we
can
make
them
in
order
to
get
the
program
running.
But
for
right
now,
that's
that's
where
our
discussions
have
been.
B
Everyone
seems
to
be
on
board
colony,
senior
services
have
been
supportive,
faye's
been
supportive
and,
and
you
and
councilwoman
love
have
been
great
to
work
with
the
other
pieces.
I
don't
want
to
forget.
We
were
right
about
to
start
water
yoga
for
seniors,
and
that
was
with
the
center
for
disability
and
and
cover
him.
We
weren't
able
to
do
that.
So
our
hope
is
to
have
those
two
programs,
in
addition
to
zumba
and
yoga
for
our
seniors
in
2021.
D
Okay,
one
follow-up
question
on
the
cooking
class
and
the
kitchen
repairs
that
may
need
to
be
done.
Can
colony
senior
services
under
all
of
their
grant
funding,
maybe
use
one
of
their
buses
to
bring
people
from
arbor
hill
up
to
colony
until
the
kitchen
gets
fixed
in
whatever
manner
it
has
to
be
fixed
up.
B
B
So
we're
going
to
work
that
out,
hopefully
right
before
we
start
the
program
and
we
may
need
a
bus
because
the
opportunity
to
serve
our
seniors,
the
kitchen
because
of
the
cover
restrictions,
would
only
allow
about
four
people
in
at
a
time.
And
so,
if
we
were
to
get
20
seniors,
we
would
have
to
have
shifts
in
sessions
on
rotation.
B
There's
some
money
available,
but
we're
going
to
have
to
look
at
you,
know
blended
funds
and
try
to
figure
out
what
a
dollar
amount
can
be
that
either
we
can't
support
or
some
private
industry.
So
you
know,
is
looking
to
support.
There's
a
lot
of
interest
from
other
folks
that
want
to
help
us
do
this,
and
so
we
just
haven't
finished
all
those
conversations
on
the
dollars
and
since
yet.
D
B
C
But
since
we
had
the
hiring
spending
freeze
that
occurred
as
a
pandemic
hit,
we
didn't
utilize
those
funds,
but
that
budget
line
is
going
to
remain
relatively
the
same
going
into
next
year
and
we
would
be
set
up
to
be
able
to
run
senior
services
through
contracting
services
to
some
degree.
You
know,
as
we
looked
at
plan
such
as
the
water
yoga
and
again,
some
other
funds.
So
that's
in
the
program
line.
A
F
Thank
you
thank
commissioner
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
do.
I
just
had
a
question
about
the
lifeguards.
You
said
that
we've
gotten
rid
of
the
lifeguards
out
of
the
budget,
so
I'm
wondering
how
do
we
plan
on
staffing
the
swim
pools
are
alright.
Is
it
swim
at
your
own
risk
for.
B
The
program
that
we
provided
lifeguards
for
in
contract
with
the
school
district
for
the
most
part,
was
actually
during
the
school
year
for
their
second
graders
and
some
of
their
school
kids.
Unfortunately,
they're
not
they're,
not
providing
that
that
element
of
activity
this
year.
So
that
was
one
of
the
reasons,
but
on
top
of
it
in
the
summer,
we
still
have
our
seasonal
helpline
for
aquatics.
That
will
allow
us
to
to
hire
all
of
our
lifeguards
that
we
have
this
summer
back.
G
G
G
B
F
B
G
C
D
C
We
looked
originally
in
2020
as
putting
forth
a
big
effort
towards
programming
services
for
albany
residents,
both
well
for
seniors
adults,
youth
teens.
We
had
a
very
comprehensive
overlook.
However,
when
we
met
and
did
our
original
budget
review
or
budget
presentation,
we
were
asked
to
curtail
that
initially
for
2020.,
as
we
continue
to
see,
especially
during
the
pandemic,
how
valuable
recreation
parks
and
recreation
activities
and
programs
are
for
people.
We
were.
C
So
that
was
what
we
originally
asked
for
back
in
2019
for
the
2020
budget,
and
we
just
asked
for
it
again
and
we
we
feel
confident
as
a
city
that
we
can
move
forward
with
that,
because
I
think
the
the
pandemic-
and
I
think
everybody
else
who
was
able
to
look
at
these
figures-
agrees
that
our
programs
were
definitely
something
that
helps
alleviate
some
of
the
stress
and
added
to
the
well-being
of
our
city.
This
past
past
eight
months.
G
C
It's
they're
not
going
to
be
contractor
services
they're
going
to
be
seasonal
employees,
so
there
are
yoga
instructors
that
we've
worked
with
and
we
have
one
on
staff
right
now
who's.
You
know,
I
believe,
he's
been
through
richfield
all
summer
long
in
washington
park.
You
know
teaching
classes,
but
they
work
as
seasonal
employees.
You
know
when
the
season
ends,
we
let
them
go.
We
invite
them
back
next
season.
We
evaluate
them.
C
We
we
keep
them
in
in
our
our
personnel
folder
our
instructor
folder,
but
in
the
world
of
recreation
and
recreation
management.
You
know
it's
especially
with
organizations
other
organizations
similar
to
us,
like
the
ymca
having
seasonal
staff.
Members
is
a
a
more
proficient
way
of
managing
fitness
staff
of
that
nature
of
yoga
instructor
zoom
instructors,
so
we're
moving
towards
that
model
of
hiring
them
on
a
temporary
help
basis
and
then
having
them
for
certain
seasons
as
well
as
instructors
for
arts
and
crafts.
G
H
G
C
We
have
capital
projects
ongoing,
with
we've
received
about
1.3
million
dollars
in
dazny
funding
from
the
state
grant
funding.
So
with
that,
we
need
to
be
able
to
put
it
into
an
account
line.
So
during
the
2020
we
did
a
transfer
and
ena
transfer
into
various
different
accounts.
That
was
one
of
the
accounts
we
transferred
funds
into.
C
We
will
be
reimbursed
for
the
difference
which
is
125.
000
is
what
we're
working
on
for
a
capital
project.
That
one
is
specific,
I
believe,
is
the
lockers.
The
new
lockers
for
lincoln
park.
Bathhouse
and
swinburne
skating,
rink
and
you'll
see
that
that
is
also
in
in
the
operations
department
budget.
G
C
It
went
to
the
spray
pads
are
under
that
the
the
lincoln
park
pool
master
plan
is
under
that
which
is
not
the
dazny
funding,
but
another
funding
grant
from,
I
believe
the
state
as
well
is
a
about
375
thousand
dollar
project.
You
know
the
dazny
funding
1.3
million,
but
all
that
contracted
services.
That
add-on
was
the
all
those
capital
projects
that
we
put
in.
G
Thank
you,
that's
very
helpful,
also
and
then.
Finally,
on
the
albany
plan,
I
noticed
that
revenues
are
expected
to
go
from
four
hundred
and
one
thousand
dollars
to
five
hundred
and
twenty
eight
thousand
dollars,
and
I'm
it's
not
a
huge
increase,
but
it
is,
you
know:
125
000,
basically
increase
yeah.
B
A
H
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Thank
you,
everybody
for
being
here
two
things,
one.
I
think
when
they
they
do
the
budget
again,
and
I
don't
know
if
one
of
the
knicks
can
look
at
this
in
the
future.
You
know
since
we're
looking
at
you
know
recreations
and
workforce
development.
They
were
closer
together
in
the
budget.
It
may
be
a
little
easier
to
sift
back
and
forth.
H
One
question
I
had
for
our
recreational
staff.
Is
you
know,
since
we've
had
to
go,
you
know
we've
had
to
let
go
of
a
lot
of
not
let
go
but
stop
a
lot
of
our
in-person
activities.
You
know
what
is
still
conversation
about
shifting
to
a
remote
type
of
quality.
Where
you
do
cooking
classes,
you
do
zumba,
you
do
yoga
remotely.
You
know
zumba
remotely
at
home.
You
know
to
resume.
Are
we
looking
at
those
type
of
activities,
as
we
may
be
getting
into
another
wave
of
this
virus?.
B
Yes,
we
are
earlier
in
the
year
we
had
wreck
recorder.
We
also
had
our
zumba
instructor
and
our
senior
fitness
instructor
record
their
classes
and
there's
also
arts
and
crafts
for
parents
to
do
things
with
their
kids
looking
forward
to
doing
that
again,
but
we're
looking
forward
to
doing
it
again,
but
hope
that
we
can
stay
in
person.
It's
very
challenging,
as
well
as
using
public
access
tv
with
special
events
and
cultural
affairs.
H
I'll
say
this,
you
know
I
I'm
I'm
an
old,
I
said,
perform
an
old
school,
an
old-fashioned
person
in
in
in
technology,
but
you
know,
I
think,
part
of
what
we
should
need
to
learn
about.
All
of
this
is
the
fact
that
maybe
there's
some
things
that
we
can
keep
promote.
You
know
it.
You
know
that
I'm
sure
there's
a
population
that
we're
reaching
they
may
not
have
had
the
opportunity
to
you
know,
go
to
a
yoga
in
the
park,
but
we'll
you
know
tap
into
those
videos
that
we
do
remotely.
H
B
Yeah,
I
agree
quite
frankly,
we
hope
to
have
both
have
some
in-person
things
and
offer
things
on
public
access,
tv
and
online.
That's
why
our
budget
focusing
on
program
hopes
to
expand
in
that
in
that
regard,
but
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
for
us
is
going
to
be
looking
at
what
the
people
want.
You
know
zumba
and
yoga
is
great,
but
we
heard
a
lot
about
pickleball
it's
hard
to
do
that
on
tv,
it's
actually
impossible
and
some
of
the
other
sports
that
people
are
asking
for.
A
I
They're,
the
the
reason
that
they're
they're
just
far
apart
in
proximity
or
further
apart
in
proximity,
perhaps
and
you
know-
might
be
most
easily
readable-
is
just
the
fact
that
they
are
separate
funds
so
for
the
sometimes
people
or
folks
may
refer
to
like
water
or
youth
and
workforce,
is
off
budget
and
they're,
not
really
off
budget,
because
they're
included
as
part
of
the
budget
book
that
you
know
the
mayor
proposes
and
the
council
votes
on.
But
we
do
have
fund
accounting.
I
We
have
a
general
fund,
a
water
fund
and
then
youth
and
workforce
as
its
own
fund
and
the
the
reason
why
the
summer
youth
employment
program
is
not
included
in
that
fund.
Although
we
broke
it
out
from
rec
this
year
is
because
that's
still
the
general
fund
portion
of
our
obligation
to
that
program
and
that
used
to
be
called
the
albany
plan
and
in
our
chart
of
accounts
without
getting
too
technical
that
rolled
up
into
recreation.
I
A
J
A
Great
too,
that
could
also
just
if
you,
if
that,
would
make
you
guys
happier,
then
that
would
be
great.
I
just
think
for
all
the
council
members.
It
makes
life,
it's
just
a
pain
and
then
it's
hard
to
go
back
through,
because
it's
one
I
mean
it's
kind
of
run
as
one
department.
So
we
understand
the
difference
but
to
actually
go
through.
It
took
me
forever
to
figure
out
that
jonathan
wasn't
getting
like
a
massive
pay
cut,
and
then
I
was
like
oh
right,
you
know
so
it
just
you
know
anyway.
E
F
E
That's
why
you
see
the
top
of
my
head
these
14-hour
days
and
trying
to
get
a
meal
in
between.
I
just
want
to
make
those.
I
do
questions,
but
I
just
want
to
comment
on
about
zoom,
especially
for
the
younger
folks.
I
have
a
13
year
old
son,
who's,
doing
school
from
home
zooming
and
he's
almost
in
tears.
He
is
so
disgusted
with
having
to
be
in
front
of
the
screen.
He
wants
to
go
back
to
school
in
person,
and
it's
it's
tough.
And
what
do
you
tell
a
kid?
E
So
a
lot
of
us,
especially
adults,
have
the
zoom
fatigue.
I
guess
is
the
the
term
I've
heard
you
so
just
keep
that
in
mind.
I
know
some
stuff
yeah,
maybe
in
the
future
we
can
go
to
but
boy.
I
can't
wait
till
where
you
know
the
zoom's
over
my
two
big
questions,
not
big,
but
the
cost
of
materials
have
has
skyrocketed.
I
was
in
home
depot
a
few
days
ago
and
a
two
by
four
is
seven
dollars.
Now,
I'm
just
wondering
will
that
impact
your
budget
buying
materials?
B
B
Luckily,
this
year,
where
we've
had
some
savings,
we've
partnered
with
dgs
and
they've
helped
us
demo
a
lot
of
the
playground
equipment.
Where
previously
we
had
to
contract
that
out
so
where
there
is
going
to
be
some
increases.
We're
going
to
work
with
partners
to
find
some
opportunities
to
you
know
create
some
basically,
some
cost
savings
there.
All.
E
B
Well,
well,
you
did
so
great,
that's
a
good
thing,
that's
one
good
thing,
but
I
will
say
that
you
know
for
us
in
that
park.
We've
talked
about
this
previously.
Is
that
the
space
needed
for
a
spray
pad,
as
well
as
the
flooding
that
you
get
on
the
basketball
court,
we've
got
to
see
how
we
work
that
out.
First,
but
yeah,
we
we
know,
we
know
you
want
it
and
we
want
it
for
you
as
well.
Okay,
thank
you.
No
problem.
E
K
I
wanted
to
ask
about
the
attending
the
community
centers
and
the
registering
online.
For
that
that's
going
to
be
very
difficult,
for
I
mean
that's,
I'm
sure
you
know
I
mean
kids
like
to
just
drop
in
and
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
that.
Why
was
that
decision
made?
Couldn't
you
still
keep
a
handle
on
capacity
and
take
people's
names
and
so
on
at
the
door?
It
just
seems
like
such
a
it's
really
going
to
limit
who's
able
to
participate.
I
would
think.
B
You
know
we
did
think
about
that,
but
we
want
to
follow
the
motto
that
the
national
parks
and
recreation
association
provided
us
and
by
having
young
people
register.
It
will
help
us
not
only
with
contact
tracing
and
where
they
are
in
their
families,
but
at
the
same
time,
it'll
help
us
buy
supplies
for
the
set
program
without
overspending
and
years
prior.
We
would
buy
things
for
a
program
for
20
kids
and
we
may
only
have
15,
kids
or
10
kids
actually
participate
in
that
set
program.
B
So
it'll
help
us
that
way,
but
nrpa
has
suggested
that
we
continue
with
the
registering
of
our
programs
to
not
only
ensure
that
we
have
the
people
that
we
put
in
there,
but
also
to
save
funding
and
to
be
have
a
better
knowledge
on
contact
tracing.
If
we
have
our
drop-ins,
we
may
not
know
who
they
were
around
or
what
they
were
where
they
were
in
times
prior,
where,
if
we
saw
in
the
summer
time,
we
knew
exactly
where
our
kids
were
and
we
had
the
right
information
from
their
parents.
B
No,
but
what
we're
going
to
do
is
this
is
going
to
allow
us-
and
I
know
I'm
talking
about
the
spring
a
lot,
but
it's
going
to
allow
us
to
use
our
outdoor
spaces
and
to
have
some
of
our
records
be
able
to
provide
programming
in
our
outdoor
spaces,
which
would
allow
more
of
a
capacity
because
of
the
ventilation.
And
so
that's
one
thing
we're
looking
at,
but
the
other
ideas
that
we
are
thinking
about
will
have
rotation.
B
So
maybe
a
kid,
for
example,
will
have
day
one
and
day
twos,
maybe
a
kid
in
a
group
that
would
normally
come
monday.
Through
friday.
They
may
only
be
able
to
come
monday,
wednesday
and
friday,
and
then
another
group,
tuesday,
thursday
and
now
saturdays,
and
that
will
give
us
a
rotation
and
hopefully
allow
us
to
serve
everyone.
B
You
know,
I'm
not
concerned
that
numbers
will
be
down.
I
am
concerned
honestly.
Just
to
be
frank,
I
don't
know
where
a
lot
of
our
kids
are.
I
have
not
seen
them.
We
have
not
seen
them
anywhere.
A
lot
of
our
case.
Managers
have
not
seen
them
so
some
of
our
young
people
in
particular
I'm
concerned
about
what
they
are,
but
other
than
that.
No,
I
think
they
will.
B
Yeah,
the
changing
area
would
not
allow
us
to
serve
the
community
in
a
way
that
we
would
like
so
because
the
changing
area
of
the
heating
space,
where
we
have
our
concession
stand
and
skates,
is
so
small.
We
wouldn't
have
another
location
for
people
to
get
skates
in
a
warm
area,
so
it
would
just
put
us
at
a
very
limited
capacity
and
the
juice
wasn't
worth
the
squeeze
with
the
cost.
K
B
It
can
be
adapted
to
the
colder
months.
You
know
we
we
wanted
to
do
that.
I
know.
Hoffman
was
one
of
the
areas
and
and
to
our
councilwoman
here
I
know
she
really
wanted
that
and
pushed
it.
One
of
the
questions
for
us
was:
we
originally
had
seven
sites.
We
ended
at
elizabeth
street
park,
which
was
our
biggest
our
biggest
showing,
but
we
can
adapt
it
in
the
winter
months.
The
thing
is
is
that
it
is
a
lot
of
planning.
B
It
is
a
I
mean
it
is
a
lot
of
planning
and
for
those
council
members
that
participated
with
us.
It
takes
a
lot
of
time
to
get
that
off
the
ground.
So
we
piloted
this
year
to
understand
some
of
the
ins
and
outs,
and
I
think
next
year,
if
we
have
the
support
of
the
council-
and
we
have
some
more
collaboration
with
our
partners,
we
would
look
to
do
it
year
round.
B
Place
so
yeah,
so
we
had
a
free
lunch
for
all
young
people
and
their
parents.
That
came,
we
had
resource
tables,
so
everyone
from
the
county
health
department
giving
out
mass
to
give
you
an
example.
Counseling
women
love
had
a
table
on
orange
street.
Getting
people
signed
up
for
the
census,
getting
people
registered
to
vote
things
like
that.
B
You
know
councilwoman,
jenny,
farrell
came
the
melrose,
neighborhood
association
was
there
and
then
we
also
had
you
know
hit
with
brit
there
to
do
a
workout
with
some
of
our
people,
so
it
was
at
different
sites.
We
offer
different
things,
but
the
point
of
it
was
to
bring
resources
that
we
would
typically
partner
with
in
our
community
centers
or
at
events
at
special
events
at
alive
of
five
or
the
like
to
bring
them
in
the
community
where
the
people
were
and
at
the
same
time
do
it
on
the
street.
B
B
No,
no,
no,
no,
we
didn't.
We
did
low
touch
stuff,
so
it
was
like
challenges
on
you
know.
How
long
can
you
hula
hoop
and
then
an
obstacle
course?
And
then
you
had
to
go
and
meet
jared
jones
and
tony
marshall
and
throw
punches
for
a
minute
and
see
how
many
punches
you
can
get.
There
were
just
different
challenges,
almost
like,
as
you
were
in
a
you
know,
like
a
challenge
arena
as
an
individual.
B
B
L
B
B
L
L
So
and
my
last
question
for
the
second
word:
can
we
count
on
that
fence
that
we've
been
waiting
for
for
the
last
seven
years
that
was
supposed
to
be
put
up
for
for
the
street?
As
far
as
the
kids,
the
basketball
court
you
did
put,
you
did
attempt
to
put
up
a
fence,
but
it
was
maybe
five
feet
high
and
we
need
a
larger
fence,
because
the
ball
bounces
right
over
that.
D
B
B
A
Well,
I
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
in
this
evening
and
for
going
through
your
budget
and
also
thank
you
so
much
for
all
you've
done,
especially
for
kind
of
changing
gears
this
summer
and
making
sure
that
that
you
still
served
our
student,
our
kids,
it's
so
important
to
do
that.
I
I
love
the
play
streets
thing
in
our
and
at
