Description
Parks and Recreation Director Neil Luther provided the Board with an update on recent activities, successes and future initiatives.
A
C
Well,
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
board,
Mr
County
Administrator
I,
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
to
give
an
update,
I've
been
here
now.
I
think
nine
months
and
I
want
to
begin
by
thanking
this
board
and
Dr
Casey
for
all
the
support
everybody
has
has
given
me
and
mostly
to
a
wonderful
staff
that
we
have.
That
I
think
does
some
really
special
things
for
this
community
I'd
like
to
begin.
This
is
sort
of
a
snapshot.
Slide
I
think
it's
important
to
understand.
C
You
know
who
we
are
and
how
we
got
to
where
we
are,
and
what
I
would
say
outside
of
the
bullet
points
is
that
the
definition
of
who
we
are
is
really
a
reflection
of
the
community
and
a
long-standing
relationship
and
conversations
with
the
community
to
really
hear
and
embody
what
the
community
wants
in
their
park
system.
Because
parks
are
not
something
that
is
mandated.
C
A
C
Speak
real
briefly
on
the
project
side
and
I'd
like
to
that.
This
slide
highlights
some
locations
that
are
our
large
capital
projects,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
if
you
look
at
our
total
current
project
portfolio,
we
are
currently
funded
at
52
million
dollars
in
active
project
spread
over
43
individual
projects
across
the
county.
That
doesn't
reflect,
of
course,
what
the
voters
told
us
in
terms
of
supporting
the
additional
improvements
coming
forward
with
the
bond
and
back
in
November.
C
Think
my
dad
once
told
me
you
have
all
the
time
there
is
it's
up
to
you
with
what
you
do
with
it,
and
I
think
that
the
community
is
expressing
a
strong
desire,
we're
in
a
very
much
a
generational
moment
to
really
expand
and
build
the
park
system
based
on
what
the
Community,
Values
and
and
wants
to
see
and
I'm.
With
that
being
said,
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna
dive
into
a
couple
of
areas.
I've
tried
to
group
The
the
types
of
projects
we're
working
on
by
categories.
C
C
C
We
also
have
in
the
works
a
lot
of
new
enhancements
to
existing
parks.
These
again
are
all
funded
the
top
or
the
the
left
slide.
There
is
an
image
of
the
what
was
approved
on
the
bond
for
for
10
million
dollars
at
Horner
to
build
a
competition
level
softball
complex,
but
already
in
the
works
at
Horner,
which
has
been
open
for
for
many
many
years
now
we're
bringing
water
to
the
site.
We
have
all
the
existing
Fields.
C
The
irrigation
is
ready
to
be
tapped
when
that
water
line
is
complete,
and
so
basically
Horner
is,
is
getting
a
brand
new
Focus
to
serve
that
rapidly
growing
part
of
the
the
western
part
of
the
county,
all
of
which
will
come
together
over
the
next
two
years,
but
the
the
new
irrigation
restroom
projects,
all
of
those
will
open
up
in
the
this
coming
fall
fall
of
23..
The
bond
project,
we're
anticipating
the
softball
component
to
open
in
Fall
of
2025.
A
C
Image
on
the
right
is
at
River
City
I'm,
going
to
speak
a
little
more
to
River
City,
but
basically,
with
the
approval
of
the
referendum,
River
City
is
going
to
see
two
years
of
seamless
activity
out
there
that
really
brings
to
fruition
the
image
or
the
the
vision
of
what
that
Park
and
property
represents
to
this
community
right
now.
We're
planning
to
basically
finish
everything
and
have
a
grand
re-reopening
of
everything.
That's
in
the
works
over
there
with
the
2026
Jefferson
cup,
so.
C
Not
all
of
them
are
necessarily
new
in
the
in
the
industry,
but
I
think
they
do
reflect
again
that
public
trust
in
placing
conversations
about
using
our
Parks
more
effectively
for
a
wider
range
of
of
individuals.
So
you
see
up
there
in
the
top
left,
we've
just
completed
some
adult
Fitness
activity
centers
in
our
three
park
locations.
C
So
we
have
a
brand
new
park
coming
at
Beulah
that
will
open
in
Fall
of
2024,
and
one
of
the
centerpieces
of
that
Park
will
be
basically
the
nicest
Cricket
pitch
in
Central
Virginia
and
really
the
state
of
Virginia
for
the
the
the
cricket
players.
A
very
interesting
sport,
I've
learned
a
lot
about
it
over
the
years
and
they
are
just
absolutely
thrilled
to
have
this
partnership
to
proceed
to
this
new
ground.
For
them.
C
66
000
people
live
within
12
miles
and
12
000
people
currently
live
within
one
mile
and
we
all
know
rooftops
are
growing
as
we
speak,
so
that
Park
just
has
tremendous
opportunity
not
just
to
the
sports
tourism
portfolio
that
I'll
speak
to,
but
as
well
as
just
serving
the
community,
then
dog
parks
we've
got
continuing
we're
looking
at
Horner
as
a
possible
opportunity.
Disc
golf
is
a
is
sort
of
an
emerging
sport.
C
We
have
the
opportunity
to
occupy
a
brand
new
recreation
center
so
that
Beulah,
the
repurposed
Beulah
Elementary
School,
is
under
renovation
now
General
services
and
the
contractor
have
done
a
great
job
right
now
we're
targeting
spring.
We
are
anticipating
getting
invitations
out
to
you
and
in
the
community
for
a
late
April
ribbon
cutting,
but
that
Center
has
the
opportunity
to
be
really
transformative
transformative
for
that
Community.
C
It's
certainly
transformative
for
us
because
it
allows
us,
as
a
corporate
body,
to
be
together
more
so
than
we
have
been
a
long
time
and
it
has
a
public
facing
component.
The
recreation
center
component
alone
is
greater
in
one
space
than
all
of
three
of
our
existing
recreation,
centers
combined.
So
again,
a
generational
opportunity
for
us
us
to
move
forward.
C
The
bottom
image
on
the
left
is
a
really
a
reflection
of
conversations
with
the
community
about
tapping
an
underutilized
asset
in
the
James
River
and
having
the
opportunity
to
expand
resources
that
we
currently
maintain
and
the
potential
to
bring
in
some
other
partners
to
expand
that
even
greater
that's
a
conceptual
image
of
one
of
the
improvements
at
Dutch
Gap,
that's
being
funded
through
the
Dominion
Energy
consent
order.
But
we
have
three
projects
that
Dominion
is
funding
in
and
around
Dutch
Gap,
including
as
a
fourth
through
C
dot.
C
C
I
had
never
seen
a
competitive
drone
flown
before.
So
it
was
a
real,
really
affirming
experience
to
see
the
ability
to
support
the
community's
vision
for
something
that
we
would
not
have
normally
sound
did
I
lose
my
feed
there.
We
go
I'm
going
to
transition
now
along
the
theme
of
our
construction
projects,
to
give
a
little
bit
of
a
sidebar
to
discuss
how
we
as
a
department
are,
are
intricately
involved.
C
So
we
now
again
from
from
the
conversations
with
the
community
and
hearing
very
clearly
that
walking
and
passive
activity
is
incredibly
important
to
our
Park
experience,
so
we're
much
more
intentional
about
incorporating
those
kinds
of
features
into
plan
Renovations
and
plan
growth
for
our
Park
system.
So
all
told
within
those
projects
that
I
tried
to
highlight
before
4,
we
have
over
12
miles
of
new
Trail
in
within
our
Park
system.
That's
currently
in
the
pipeline.
Those
images
up
there,
the
again
going
from
left
top
left.
C
Now
we
again,
as
I
said,
the
connectivity
for
the
county
is
really
a
county
initiative
and
we
have.
We
are
ingrained
Beyond,
just
our
Park
system
and
working
collaboratively.
So
a
lot
of
the
emphasis
on
community
connections.
Certainly
parks
are
a
destination
and
can
be
a
means
of
conveyance.
But
CDOT
has
really
worked
with
us
to
take
the
lead
up
there.
You
can
see
the
The
Stratton
Park
connector,
which
was
a
c
dot
LED
project,
it's
on
the
top
left.
C
There's
an
image
just
to
the
right
of
the
Salem
Church
connector,
which
connects
the
government
center
to
Salem
Church
elementary
school
and
middle
school
and
Beyond
again,
a
CDOT
effort
through
planning
through
ordinance
and
and
the
development
review
process.
We
as
a
county
have
been
working
collaboratively
to
improve
pedestrian
friendly
development.
There's
some
images
up
there
of
private
developments
that
have
brought
brought
bike
and
pedestrian
facilities
to
fruition
in
the
county
with
CDOT
there's
also
an
emphasis.
C
You
see
the
the
crosswalk
there
on
looking
at
connection
to
schools
and
being
much
more
intentional
about
providing
good
connectivity
to
the
the
schools
that
are
really.
You
know,
Community
features
that
that
people
want
to
access
within
their
their
own
neighborhoods.
The
bottom
right
is
one
that
we
just
did
this
Summer.
C
That
was
a
good
example
of
us,
or
are
we
in
Parks
kind
of
taking
our
cue
from
the
initiatives
that
planning
and
CDOT
have
done,
and
we
we
looked
in
internally
at
Rockwood
Park
and
did
our
own
lane
diet
in
the
Loop
Road
there,
a
lot
of
people
walk
regularly
in
Rockwood.
It
hasn't,
particularly,
it
hasn't
always
been
safe
with
them.
C
Walking
in
the
on
the
roadway
with
traffic,
so
we
changed
the
road
configuration
to
a
one-way
and
took
the
extra
Lane
with
and
turned
it
into
a
striped
bike
lane
and-
and
that
is
been
very
well
received
by
the
public.
All
told
right
now
with
our
our
partners
in
CDOT
and
planning,
there
are
in
fiscal
22
current
year,
CDOT
has
five
Trail
projects.
C
C
We
have
the
basically
the
fortune,
we're
fortunate
here
in
Chesterfield
to
be
at
the
crossroads
of
two
Regional
level:
initiatives
to
build
long,
distance,
alternative
transportation
corridors,
of
course,
going
north
to
south.
You
have
the
fall
line,
Trail,
which
is
almost
44
miles,
connecting
Petersburg
with
Ashland
there's
18
miles
in
the
county
of
which
80
percent
are
currently
funded
and
then
going
in
the
bottom
along
the
Appomattox
River.
We
have
an
East-West
connection
of
25
miles,
12
of
which
are
in
Chesterfield,
proper
and
Ettrick
sits
right
at
the
crossroads
of
these
two
major
regional
bike.
C
Ped
features
and
we
have
been
working
with
a
number
of
collaborative
Partners,
obviously
to
bring
these
in
the
process
from
planning
to
fruition,
as
we
progress
and
I
would
mention.
Specifically,
of
course,
the
friends
of
the
lower
Appomattox,
River
VDOT
and
soon
to
be
Sports.
Bat
Crews
I
think
you
all
saw
a
notification
that
they've
received
some
grant
funding
to
do
some
enhancement
planning
around
the
the
fall
line.
Trail.
So
there's
a
lot
of
regional
interest
in
bringing
these
together,
but
at
a
at
a
more
local
level
for
us
or
immediate
impact
level.
C
For
us,
I'll
speak
specifically
in
Chesterfield
that
bottom
right,
image
is
or
graphic
shows
the
opportunity
we've
taken.
The
star
again
represents
where
the
fall
line
Trail
and
the
Appomattox
River
Trail
connect
in
Ettrick,
and
thanks
to
the
leadership
of
the
board
and
some
Community
Trust.
We
are.
We
just
recently
closed
there
on
the
Eastern
Edge
on
the
Greenwood
property,
which
was
a
collaborative
partnership
with
the
Greenwood
Family
Mr
Greenwood
and
Capital
Region
Land
Conservancy,
and
then
to
the
Western
Edge
Mr
Radcliffe.
C
We
have
his
property
and
we'll
that
will
close,
possibly
as
soon
as
Friday
and
definitely
by
Monday,
and
when
I
speak
to
relationships
there.
Those
individuals,
those
private
ownerships,
have
really
expressed
a
desire
that
their
properties
be
preserved
by
the
county
in
perpetuity
for
the
value
they
bring
to
Future
generations
and
I.
C
Think
again,
that
speaks
to
the
level
of
trust
that
has
been
placed
in
us
or
entrusted
with
us
in
making
these
Partnerships
really
fulfill
expectations
for
the
Greater
Community
I
also
want
to
highlight,
along
the
fall
line,
Trail
again
some
opportunities
that
we
have
at
a
more
Community
level.
Community
Focus
level,
with
here
within
here
in
Chesterfield,
to
to
leverage
what's
happening
at
a
regional
level,
to
make
more
impact
to
the
immediate
communities
that
are
adjacent.
C
You
have
up
in
the
top
left
on
your
image,
the
opportunity
with
the
fall
line
Trail
to
really
bring
together
a
lot
of
powerful
story
lines
related
to
the
the
Fallen
Creek
Corridor.
The
following
Creek
Park,
to
which
I
spoke
earlier.
All
coming
together
is
really
a
node
of
a
very
important
Community
node
in
that
route.
One
Corridor
along
the
fall
line
Trail
a
little
further
down
on
the
bottom
left.
C
You
see
a
conceptual
image,
we're
actively
working
on
providing
a
neighborhood
connection
from
the
new
Winchester
green
development
directly
into
Bensley
Park,
so
again
using
our
Park
system,
our
collaboration
with
a
private
developer,
not
private,
non-profit,
developer,
CDOT
to
fulfill
a
vision
of
better
and
more
interconnected,
neighborhood
neighborhoods.
For
for
all
the
value
that
that
brings
and
then
finally
to
the
right,
the
larger
image
is
an
opportunity.
C
It's
actually
on
your
consent
agenda
tonight
as
a
land
acquisition,
but
this
is
a
location
for
a
new
fire
station,
but
because
of
the
property
configuration
the
county
now
has
the
opportunity
to
do
more
than
just
a
fire
station.
We
have
the
opportunity
again
along
that
alignment
of
the
Fall
Line
Trail
on
the
old
Seaboard
Atlantic
rail
line.
The
opportunity
to
bring
a
connectivity
nodes
so
again,
public-private
Partnerships
within
the
community
to
bring
to
fruition
is
much
greater
than
the
sum
of
its
individual
parts.
C
I'm
going
to
transition
real
quickly,
we're
not
we're
not
done
yet.
We've
got
a
lot
in
the
in
the
works
to
continue
to
plan.
We
have
again
obligations
to
keep
those
conversations
alive
and
and
vibrant
with
the
community,
as
we
look
forward
just
a
couple
of
highlights
to
the
left
and
far
right
on
those
slides,
we're
actively
working
at
a
community
level
with
some
creative
Alternatives
from
the
down
in
the
Ettrick
and
Matoaca
communities
about
a
reuse
of
a
former
elementary
school.
C
That's
a
little
different
and
a
little
more
driven
by
Community
possibilities
and
then
on
the
left
to
bring
to
fruition
a
vision
from
the
etric
community.
The
vision
for
a
more
Village
Town,
Center
type
Park
as
part
of
the
campus
at
the
new
Ettrick
Elementary
School
and
then
in
the
center
I
just
want
to
again
leave
in
everyone's
mind
that
we
definitely
recognize
and
receive
the
message
from
the
community.
The
importance
of
Pocahontas
State
Park,
as
I
said,
Pocahontas
is
actually
90
miles
of
Trail.
C
C
Use
of
that
resource
to
our
own
efforts
here
on
a
staff
level
and
then
real
quickly.
We
also
have
an
update
coming
to
our
comprehensive
Park
master
plan.
That's
done
in
partnership
with
VCU
Wilder
School
of
government
that
will
be
sending
out
our
a
park.
User
survey
that'll
go
out
to
the
community
the
first
of
the
year,
so
we
can
start
to
get
additional
feedback
on
what
we
need
to
be
doing
and
how
we
need
to
be
approaching
it.
C
Nobody
wants
to
have
a
poor
experience,
and
so
we
are
very
purposeful
and
intentional
and
doing
our
very
best
there
and
and
the
support
we
get
has
been
tremendous
out
of
that
52
million
in
capital
dollars
that
I
mentioned
there's
a
little
over
5.4
million.
That
is
what
we
call
major
maintenance.
Those
are
the
things
that
allow
what
you
see
in
those
slide
or
images
up
there.
C
Those
are
the
things
that
allow
us
to
build
or
replace
a
picnic,
Pavilion,
that's
showing
its
age
or
to
replace
fencing
and
backstops
to
replenish
artificial
turf,
infill
things
like
that.
I
mean
we
have
an
obligation
to
maintain
our
system
that
stewardship
obligation
is
ongoing
and
then,
at
an
operational
level,
just
some
quick
numbers.
We
have
240
Fields
athletic
fields.
C
50
of
those
are
on
our
partnership
with
the
school
grounds
and
when
it's
all
said
and
done
on
an
annual
basis,
our
staff
are
mowing
over
12,
000,
Acres
of
athletic
fields
and
all
told
about
62
000
Acres
of
general
grass
grass
and
grounds
maintenance,
and
we
have
to
do
that
again.
We
want
our
parks
to
present
themselves
well
to
the
community
at
all
times
the
relationship
we
have
with
schools.
Just
as
a
takeaway
I
found
this
number
astounding
and
our
effort
with
schools.
C
We
spread
about
five
thousand
cubic
yards
of
mulch,
mostly
between
March
and
and
begin
the
school.
That's
a
combination
of
General
ground,
mulch,
landscape
mulch,
as
well
as
playground,
mulch,
that's
about
520
ton,
dump
truck
loads
of
malts
that
we
provide
to
the
schools
over
that
period
of
time.
So
again
we
focus
on
quality,
because
it
makes
a
difference
to
the
community
and
in
what
they
experience
at
our
parks,
real
quickly,
I'm
going
to
transition
over
to
how
we
partner,
and
particularly
in
sports
tourism.
C
You
all
have
have
heard
this
before
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
with
some
great
Partners
we
have.
The
top
left
is
a
volleyball
event
that
was
held
at
largely
back
in
May.
It's
a
acpl
Grand
Prix
of
volleyball
about
90
teens
participated
at
Stone
at
the
Stonebridge
facility
top
right.
We
had
the
through
the
partnership
with
swim
RVA.
They
hosted
the
US
Masters
national
championships
at
their
facility
about
a
thousand
swimmers
from
all
over
the
country.
C
I'll
mention
a
highlight
that
a
gentleman
by
the
name
of
Mr
Willard
lamb
set
a
world
record
for
the
1500
meter,
freestyle
for
the
100
to
104
year
old
age
group
so
and
then
on
the
bottom
right,
just
our
bottom
level
of
slides
again,
a
continuation
of
our
more
bread
and
butter
efforts
to
expand
what
we
all
know
and
are
familiar
with.
We
has
did
Bert
at
bird
Athletic
Complex
in
Daniel
Park
was
the
host
site
of
the
USA
softball
Virginia
state
championship.
C
We
had
a
big
lacrosse
tournament
at
River
City
this
summer
from
girls
across
the
capital
cup
and
then
I.
Don't
the
image
up.
There
is
not
current
to
Thanksgiving,
but
we've
had
a
long
time
relationship
with
the
shooting
stars
field
hockey
tournament.
They
came
back
for
their
sixth
year
this
Thanksgiving
with
over
250
teams,
and
they
were
able
to
finish
on
a
not
so
pleasant
Sunday
because
of
the
the
turf
fields
and.
B
C
Sports
tourism
you've
seen
this
slide
important
to
me
again
when
we
think
about
Partnerships
and
the
work
we've
done
collaboratively
I
know
you
all
have
received
the
genital
small
area
plan
and
approved
it
we're
working
on
all
those
other
Regional
planning
efforts,
but
basically
to
grow.
You
can
see
the
numbers
up
there
and
we're
getting
close
to
being
maxed
out
at
capacity
within
our
current
complement
I'll
mention
that
we
projected
that
the
new
four
fields
that
will
be
added
with
the
approval
of
the
bond
referendum
at
River
City.
C
C
More
important
things
you
see
in
that
little
breakout
is
that
on
the
private
sector,
when
we
generate
these
opportunities,
there's
opportunity
on
the
market
side
to
capture
more
of
the
spending
locally
here
in
the
county.
So
the
efforts
collaboratively
within
the
development
community
and
the
Eda
I
guess
are-
are
closely
partnered
with
what
we're
able
to
provide
in
the
way
of
facilities
and
bringing
these
attractions.
C
We
sponsor
61
groups
already
that's
over
30
000
local
participants
in
sports,
mostly
in
the
youth
realm,
and
we're
looking
to
strengthen
those
relationships
with
groups
that
are
very,
very
familiar
to
you
all,
as
well
as
expand
Partnerships
with
the
YMCA,
the
strikers,
the
kickers
groups
like
that,
because
again
they
provide
the
product.
We
provide
the
facility
and
it's
a
it's
a
great
partnership
arrangement
within
the
realm
of
programming.
The
community
really
has
come
to
us
to
expect
really
exciting
and
engaging
Community
programs.
C
So
this
summer
I'm
happy
to
report
we
a
but
we
were
able
to
return
to
a
more
normal
summer
camp
experience.
The
numbers
15
camps,
56
sessions,
just
under
a
thousand
campers
12
000
meals
that
were
served,
free,
free
and
reduced
lunch
meals,
but
I
think
more
Pride
for
our
staff.
We
had
a
great
partnership
this
year
with
the
Police
Athletic
League
and
the
image
on
the
right
that
gentleman
is
Officer.
Hal
McDonough,
he
became
quite
a
little
minor
celebrity
within
the
program.
C
C
We
have
an
obligation
to
to
keep
the
community
healthy
and
well
informed.
I
would
say
there
that
our
extension
side
of
the
house
really
takes
the
lead
there.
They,
the
center
slide
is,
is
Ms
Greg,
Miss,
Sarah,
Sarah,
Gregory
I.
Think
you
all
reckon
you
did
recognize
her
as
a
volunteer
Emeritus.
He
just
was
awarded
the
national
4-H
volunteer
Hall
of
Fame,
but
she
embodies
I.
Think
more.
So
what
extension
is
able
to
do
that?
C
They
had
almost
19
000
hours
of
volunteer
service
and
they
were
through
those
volunteers
able
to
provide
programs
like
the
the
the
farmer's
market
that
you
see,
that
was
15
000
visitors
for
the
season
and
then
on
the
right
they
initiated
with
their
volunteers.
This
year
plan
a
road
for
the
hungry
initiative
and
they
were
able
to
provide
over
5
000
meals
for
the
Greater
Richmond
area.
C
We
have
an
inclusive
focus
at
the
program
level
too,
and
working
with
the
community,
some
of
our
key
Partners.
We
had
the
opportunity
to
grow
some
real
tremendous
programs
with
sportable.
That's
the
kayaking
program
in
the
top
left.
We
also
support
a
very
robust,
inclusive,
archery
program.
It's
a
unique
one
of
its
kind
in
in
the
country.
With
that
that
partnership,
we
did
a
community
cup
event
with
some
some
additional
features
over
at
River
City.
C
A
C
We
also
have
an
obligation
and
are
very
entrenched
with
many
partners
in
preserving
our
community.
Henricus
really
needs
no
explanation,
but
I
will
mention
that
this
year
they
were
able
to
get
back
to
a
more
normal
program
level.
They
have
served
over
3
500
school-aged
children
with
their
programming,
but
we
work
across
the
board.
As
you
all
know,
the
efforts
in
history
here
are
very
collaborative
and
we
have
the
Chesterfield
Historical
Society
of
Virginia
and
the
African-American
subcommittee
that
sponsored
an
event
out
at
the
Pleasant
View
Schoolhouse.
This
fall.
C
We
had
the
annual
Midlothian
mines
day.
That's
in
concert
with
the
Midlothian
Village
Festival,
the
Chesterfield
Historical
Society
does
the
annual
Veterans
Day
event.
We
have
the
Ironworks
Foundation
that
does
their
annual
day,
so
we're
we're
spread
across
our
complement
of
facilities,
to
work
with
our
partners
to
really
bring
life
and
meaning
to
those
facilities,
and
then
I'm
going
to
wrap
up
by
talking
about
one
thing
that
we
know
how
to
do
is
throw
a
good
party
and
working
with
the
community
and
partnering
with
our
many
partners
to
celebrate
this
community
and
provide
opportunities.
C
So
we
obviously
have
had
a
long-standing
relationship
with
the
fair
to
make
use
of
the
the
property
over
there.
This
year
they
had
a
good
weather
week
and
and
5
000
attendees.
We
are
very
proud
of
our
partnership
with
our
Public
Safety
Partners,
to
have
the
National
Night
Out.
In
it
initiative
we
hosted
at
our
three
Recreation
Center
locations
events.
It
was
a
great
success.
C
We
did
as
Dr
Casey
again
mentioned,
had
a
really
successful
first
run
of
the
concert
series
out
at
River
City
and
are
looking
to
continue
that
going
forward
and
the
other
slide
is
a
hops
in
the
Park
event.
It
was
just
this.
This
fall
with
henricous
out
of
henricous
Foundation,
all
told
you
know.
We
just
have
had
a
tremendous
amount
of
effort
going
into
making
good
Community
use
of
the
resources
that
are
under
our
stewardship
and
I'd
close
out
on
our
our
partners.
C
To
to
to
be
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
recognize
and
thank
the
public
safety
side
of
that
partnership,
because
all
of
these
events
have
a
lot
of
behind
the
scenes
work
by
a
lot
of
individuals
to
make
sure
that
the
public
is
safe
and
has
a
good
experience
and
the
fact
that
you
don't
see
a
lot
of
Public
Safety
activity
going
on
day
of
the
event
represents
a
lot
of
hard
work
and
dedication
to
make
that
a
reality.
So
I
appreciate
everybody's
time.
C
B
A
B
B
These
updates
are
phenomenal
and
what
we're
doing
is
we're
providing
services
in
the
form
of
Engagement
and
activities
and
Recreation
to
everyone
and
that's
what
we
should
be
doing
so
I
am
so
pleased
with
this
report
and
again
nobody
asked
any
questions
because
it
was
thorough,
and
so
we
appreciate
that
and
we've
come
to
expect
that
from
you.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
