A
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
monday
december
6th
year-end
meeting
at
the
park
board
notice,
we
have
a
quorum.
First
agenda
item.
Is
the
approval
of
claims
and
minutes
from
the
november
2021
meeting?
Do
I
have.
C
All
right,
hello
board,
so
past
couple
of
meetings,
we've
kind
of
gone
over
the
rough
drafts
of
the
new
program
guide
been
working
on
that,
since
I
think
the
october
parks
board
meeting.
This
is
what
we
we
have
right
now.
C
To
look
like
right
now
we're
just
going
to
kind
of
go
over
what
what
the
brochure
is
going
to
look
like.
We
won't
worry
about
the
fees
until
later,
but
this
is
just
kind
of
what's
going
to
be
in
people's
hands
when
we
get
the
word
out
about
all
of
our
programs.
C
So
there
you
can
see
you
know
it's
got
our
the
city
seal
on
it,
22
20,
22
right
there
at
the
bottom,
threw
in
a
little
bit
about
us
section
on
the
outside
flat
and
then
that
back
flap,
that's
a
you
know,
thank
you
to
all
of
our
sponsors
and
then
a
way
that
people
can
get
a
hold
of
us.
It's
got
our
phone
number
and
then.
E
C
C
Just
because
of
the
screen
and
the
resolution,
but
that's
what
all
of
them
are
going
to
look
like:
that's
what
it
would,
what
people
would
open
up
and
see
and
then
at
the
bottom
of
it
it
says
you
know
where
our
registrations
can
be
found
for
all
of
those
programs.
F
I
would
just
add
to
one
more
thing
is
what
we
talked
about
here.
This
blank
space
you
see
in
the
bottom
right
is
adding
a
qr
code
so
that,
with
that
link,
you
can
also
see
that
there
at
the
bottom,
but
you
can
just
pull
that
up
on
your
phone
and
it
would
take
you
right
to
all
of
our
programs
and
stuff
on
direct
desk
just
to
make
it
a
little
bit
easier
and
more
accessible
for
people.
F
But
I
think
what
chad's
put
together
is
really
really
great,
something
that
we've
it's
been
a
big
focus
of
him
and
I
is
to
make
the
parks
department
more
marketable,
more
easier
to
discover,
especially
moving
everything
to
an
online
platform
last
year.
Changing
the
way
that
things
have
been
done
from
everybody
had
to
come
to
city
hall
to
fill
out
paperwork.
You
had
to
come
to
city
hall
to
drop
it
off,
to
pay
to
do
all
that.
E
And
really
fly
the
whole
town
with
it,
so
that
everybody
knows
exactly
what's
going
on
when
what
all
we're
offering
yeah?
Is
there
a
spot
without
going
to
registration,
that
I
could
click
and
age
groups
was
available
like
no
like
bird
watching?
E
It's
it's
new
so
like
we
can't
put
all
that
in
brochure-
that's
not
like,
but
is
there,
and
you
may
want
to
create
a
place
where
I
could
click
on
bird
watching
or
not
a
link
where
all
of
this
would
be,
in
addition
to
the
registration
where
I
would
have
ages
when,
like
expanding
that
information,
more
information
about
more
information,
that's
not
the
registration
form.
Okay,.
D
E
And
that's
I
mean
you
could
create
that
one
time
have
a
link
and
just
go
in.
You
know,
parentally
and
update
what
you
want
to
do,
delete
and
add
those
types
of
things.
So
I
think,
without
going
to
the
registration,
it
would
be
good
just
to
have
descriptions.
F
Yeah,
I
think
we
can
have
that
as
part
of
our
description,
so
it's
not
actual
the
the
sign
up
process,
but
it's
on
the
description.
You
say
I
want
to
learn
more
about
that
when
you
click
under
that
programs,
tab,
there's
a
drop
down,
menu
and
you'll
see
everything
from
volleyball
to
bird
watching
you
name
it,
and
then
you
learn
more
about
it
so
yeah.
That
is
what
we're
intending
to
do
with
it.
Okay,
all
right!
That's
yeah,
great
idea!
Thank
you.
C
A
F
F
Yes,
so
I
believe
it's
the
last
sheet
that
is
on
your
in
your
packet
there,
but
this
is
an
updated
step
of
where
we're
at
right
now
throughout
the
master
plan.
So
just
as
a
recap,
our
current
master
plan
is
set
to
expire.
It
was
good
from
2017
through
the
end
of
2021,
so
you
can
see
the
list
there.
What
all
that
we
have
completed
and
the
due
dates
so
far.
F
If
you
skip
down
ahead
to
april
15th,
that's
when
the
final
100
completed
plan
is
due
to
dnr,
so
nicole,
shell,
our
city,
planner
she's,
been
working
with
us
tremendously
with
this
and
now
she's
handed
most
of
this
off
to
ratio
who's
going
to
begin
working
on
the
the
needs
analysis,
the
renderings
of
kind
of
what
all
we're
looking
to
get
accomplished
here
for
the
next
five
years,
she's
been
working
on
a
lot
of
the
demographics,
the
background
information
and
such
so.
F
We've
got
a
very
good
chunk
of
this
done,
we're
pretty
much
ready
to
go
for
our
14th
first
deadline
and
just
need
to
share
some
things
up,
so
this
is
again
where
the
park
board,
I
think,
is
very
crucial
at
this
time
as
to
really
hone
in
on
what
our
focus
needs
to
be
for
the
next
five
years,
and
so
this
is
just
kind
of
just
a
heads
up
on
where
we're
at
we
will
be
having
some
public
meetings
that
will
begin
looking
at
early
february.
F
We'll
need
to
have
two
to
three
of
those
minimum
just
be
able
to
have
some
public
input,
maybe
looking
at
doing
additional
surveys,
I
know
we've
already
done
one
that
was
facility
related,
possibly
looking
at
doing
additional
ones
programming.
F
Maybe
other
facilities
needs
just
kind
of
seeing
engaging
what
all
of
our
public
wants,
but
you
guys
hear
it
all
from
the
public
so
you're
the
perfect
people
to
really
talk
to
and
help
us
kind
of
mold
this
to
be
exactly
what
our
community
needs
for
the
foreseeable
future.
Do
you
guys
have
any
questions
over
the
master
plan,
steps
or
anything
like
that
so
far,.
F
F
All
right
so
matt
just
then
go
into
your
urine
review.
Yes,
ma'am.
F
So
for
my
report,
I
wanted
to
do
something
a
little
bit
different
this
month.
I
know
we're
not
quite
to
the
end
of
the
year
all
that
we've
got
left
really
operational
for
our
facilities.
Our
golf
course
right
now
which
that
season
is
winding
down,
but
I
just
want
to
give
you
guys
kind
of
a
little
bit
of
recognition
for
what
all
that
we've
accomplished
this
year.
F
So
it's
been
no
secret
coming
into
2021,
with
all
the
fee
changes
that
we
made
for
the
campground
for
the
golf
course
and
such
it
was
a
little
rocky
start.
We
had
a
lot
of
different.
You
know
turmoil
transition
that
you
all
dealt
with
in
the
past
12
months,
but
overall
I
would
say
that
we've
had
a
very
very
successful
year
so
far,
and
so
I
just
kind
of
want
to
hit
some
of
the
highlights
of
that.
F
So
looking
at
this,
I
know
this
might
be
a
little
difficult
to
read
for
you,
but
if
you
could
look
at
the
board
by
the
numbers,
I'm
just
kind
of
giving
you
a
quick
glimpse,
what
all
our
parts
department
entails
and
just
to
kind
of
give
you
a
preview
of
the
magnitude
of
what
we
have
here.
This
parks
department
is
very,
unlike
your
average
parks
department
in
any
community,
much
more
comprehensive
than
you
would
normally
see.
So,
let's
just
start
at
the
top,
with
a
2.3
million
dollar
annual
operating
budget,
you've
got
nine
full-time
staff.
F
F
F
F
F
F
Limits
the
amount
of
labor
that
you've
got
out
there,
that's
doing
all
this
work
and
maintain
225
acres
and
93
000
people
who
visit
our
parks.
I
can
show
you
the
numbers
on
the
breakdown
for
that
got
with
with
vmi,
to
discuss
the
festivals
and
the
different
things
that
we
have
going
on
downtown.
I
use
the
numbers
from
the
people
that
we
have
visit.
Sunrise
visit,
our
campground
crystal
beach,
go
to
the
brown
gym
the
complex.
F
It
really
is
a
massive
entity
that
we
have
here
with
our
park
system,
just
everything
that
we
really
do,
and
so
this
is
on
the
heels
I'd
like
to
say
on
the
heels
of
covid.
We
know
that
still
is
around
and
it's
probably
not
going
anywhere
for
a
while,
but
this
is
just
kind
of
a
sneak
peek
of
all
the
things
that
we
are
still
able
to
manage
our
way
through
during
this
year.
F
So
it
really
just
kind
of
helps,
put
a
few
things
in
perspective
and
we've
got
some
photos
that
we
were
able
to
capture
during
the
chamber
outing
of
the
sunrise,
then,
obviously,
our
wonderful,
crystal
beach
pool
and
something.
F
Of
our
different
parks,
you've
got
bicentennial
when
it
snows
out.
You've
got
bicentennial
down
there
on
the
right.
You've
got
your
firemen's
park.
We
hold
a
lot
of
different
activities,
hargen
matthews
our
freshers
park,
which,
if
you
drive
past
there
any
point
in
time
during
the
day
you're
going
to
see
people
out
there.
I
drove
past
yesterday
afternoon,
and
I
saw
every
single
day
on
our
swing
set
was
full
and
it
was
even
to
adults.
F
I
would
say,
in
their
mid
to
late
50s
that
were
sitting
there
swinging
the
big
smiles
on
their
faces
in
the
top
right.
You've
got
our
sport
court
down
there
by
the
country
club
and
I'm
somewhere
in
there
mayor
courtney's
out
there.
I
think
getting
beaten,
pickleball
yeah
but
easy.
That's
an
easy
one
in
the
middle
shelter
house
over
at
johnson
lake
and
then
there
in
your
top
left
the
broadway
fountain,
which
right
now
has
the
green
lights,
makes
it
look
like
a
big
christmas
tree,
but
just
another
kind
of
example.
F
This
is
some
of
the
stuff
that
it
is,
and
it
really
just
kind
of
shows
how
clean,
safe
and
beautiful
that
we
try
to
keep
the
community
that
the
street
department,
the
parks
department,
the
city
as
a
whole,
does
in
unison,
really
make
this
one
now
board.
I
have
a
question
for
you:
what
do
these
two
numbers
have
in
common?
F
F
And
our
one
on
the
right,
that's
the
number
of
different
transactions
that
we
processed
on
rec
desk.
Just
this
year
we
unveiled
at
the
very
beginning
of
january.
Our
initial
goal
was
to
look
for
one
comprehensive
platform
to
bring
all
of
our
park
systems
into
campground.
The
golf
course
the
pool
complex
are
programming.
F
We
landed
on
rec
desk.
It's
been
phenomenal
for
a
majority
of
our
of
our
events
for
what
we're
hosting-
and
this
is
just
kind
of
an
example
of
something
that
used
to
be
done
manually
in
2019
and
2020,
and
now
we've
moved
this
to
an
online
platform,
moving
the
parks
department
itself
into
the
21st
century
and
really
streamlining
the
efficiency
of
our
overall
department
that
these
numbers
users
may
not
rise
quite
as
rapidly.
F
But
transactions
are
only
going
to
be
more
and
more
as
we
progress
throughout
the
years,
and
we
make
this
department
offer
more
we're
getting
more
inclusive
of
everything
that
we're
doing
so.
That's
one
thing
that
we're
very
excited
about
the
trajectory
of
rec
desk
and
now,
with
our
other
platforms
that
we're
looking
at
for
golf
and.
G
For
campground,
and
so
just
one
of
the
many
things
that
we've
just
unveiled
this
year,
that's
already
paying
dividends
for
us.
You
might
want
to
mention
that
you
know
that's
19
000
transactions
that
were
processed
online
rather
than
manually
as
it
had
been
in
the
past.
That's
a
tremendous
volume
that
saves.
D
F
So
looking
at
some
of
the
accomplishments
that
we
have
had
here
in
2021,
so
I
know
we've
we've
talked
about
the
campground
here
since
the
season
just
got
finished
at
the
end
of
october,
but
to
reiterate,
we've
doubled
our
profits
after
ground
to
100
000
this
year,
projecting
to
eliminate
two-thirds
of
our
sunrise
golf
course
deficit.
F
If
you
remember
that
was
close
to
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
2020,
we
look
at
the
past
decade.
We've
lost
millions
of
dollars
at
sunrise
golf
course,
and
one
of
our
very
first
initiatives
in
endeavors
was
to
try
to
eliminate
that
we
were
looking
to
be
close
to
two-thirds
of
our
way
there
in
year,
one
with
what's
going
on
when
I
mentioned
these
first
two,
it's
even
more
impressive
with
the
fact
that
we've
had
a
brand
new
campground
host
we've
had
a
brand
new
head,
golf
professional
who
only
started
at
the
very
end
of
june.
F
Integrated
technology
again
to
streamline
our
daily
operations,
so
I've
hit
on
rec
desk,
but
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
golf
now,
which
was
unveiled
in
august,
we
haven't
got
to
see
the
true
potential
of
that
just
yet,
but
roger
is
he's,
had
the
experience
at
his
previous
place
of
employment
and
raves
about
what
potential
that
has.
So
we
really
hope
to
tap
into
that
and
unveil
it
here
with
a
full
2022
season.
F
We've
created
a
four
member
golf
board,
something
that
we
want
to
be
more
hands-on
with
the
overall
financials
and
again,
with
that
goal
to
eliminate
the
deficit
at
sunrise,
have
a
little
bit
more
operational
control,
a
little
bit
more
oversight
and,
frankly,
just
more
ears
and
eyes
to
tell
us
what
we're
doing
wrong.
What
we're
doing
right?
How
can
we
improve?
D
F
2.7
million
dollar
crystal
beach
restoration
project-
that's
something
that's
been
in
the
works
for
the
past
four
or
five
years,
and
so
that's
going
to
be
fixing
the
fencing.
The
concession
stand,
the
pool
liner
itself,
the
pool
house
making
that
a
useful
space
again-
and
that
is
all
looking
to
be
finished
before
2022
season
at
sunrise,
already
renovated
the
clubhouse,
our
uncoursed
bathrooms,
the
shelter
house.
That's
out
there
on
the
course
added
gps
technology
to
the
carts
as
well,
just
again
trying
to
bring
everything
to
a
more
modern
culture.
F
We
want
to
utilize
that
space
up
there
as
more
than
just
a
place
that
you
pay
for
your
golf.
You
may
come
in
there
for
a
quick
bite
and
you're
gone.
We
want
to
make
it
a
more
inclusive
environment,
open
to
all
family
events
and
make
that,
because
it's
a
very
beautiful
space-
and
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
up
there
to
have
people
in
there
daily,
whether
you're,
golfing
or
not.
F
After
an
18-month
hiatus,
we
have
reopened
senior
center.
We
brought
back
senior
dances
per
request
with
the
seniors,
I
believe
at
our
very
first
one.
We
had
60
guests
there
and
that
number
has
continued
to
rise
as
we
get
the
word
out
more
and
more,
and
our
seniors
are
very
ecstatic
to
be
able
to
get
out
about
be
able
to
reconnect
with
people
that
it
may
have
been
a
while
since
they've
seen
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
too,
with
our
master
plan
is
trying
to
create
this
blueprint
for
the
next
five
years.
F
F
F
It
would
be
a
travesty
to
only
do
our
improvements
there
inside
the
facility
of
crystal
beach
without
addressing
the
the
dreadful
bathrooms
that
are
just
outside
of
crystal
beach
there
by
the
the
basketball
courts,
so
upgrading
those
making
them
ada
accessible,
improving
the
fencing
around
there,
along
with
kiwanis,
to
make
that
a
little
bit
more
aesthetic,
and
then
we've
got
five
outdoor
basketball
courts
all
in
dire
need
of
attention
if
you've
been
to
the
ones,
I
think
personally,
probably
the
worst
one.
F
Their
campground
bath
house
needs
another.
One
that
needs
to
be
ada
accessible
needs
to
be
a
little
bit
improved
in
terms
of
our
flooding.
What
we
have
that's
going
on
there,
because
it
takes
a
lot
of
manpower
whenever
there
is
inclement
weather,
but
expanding
that
with
the
amount
of
volume
that
we've
seen
this
past
year
and
with
the
profits
that
we're
seeing
we've
got
to
give
back
to
our
campers
and
show
that
we
care
and
continue
to
keep
the
traditions
going.
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
times
I
had
phone
calls
this
summer.
F
People
would
tell
me
their
story
about
how
many
years
that
they've
been
camping
in
our
campground,
so
we
owe
it
to
them
to
be
reinvesting
those
profits
back
into
their
facility
upgrades
at
rutgers
sports,
complex
another
one
of
our
main
facilities.
That
was
kind
of
state
of
the
art
20
years
ago.
But
it's
difficult
to
maintain
it's
just
one
person
over
there
full-time
and
I
think,
we've
we've
kind
of
taken
the
the
backseat
to
trying
to
play
catch-up
and
we're
not
forward
thinking
enough
with
it.
F
So
chad,
that's
been
a
huge
focus
of
his
is.
What
can
we
do
to
really
reinvigorate
rucker
and
get
that
to
the
premier
sports
facility
that
it
once
was
and
have
that
completely
packed
out
and
busy
each
and
every
single
weekend
new
youth
programs?
Again
what
chad
is
mentioning
with
our
our
program
guide,
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
kids
want?
I
don't
believe
that
everything
should
be
sports
driven.
F
We
still
need
our
our
youth
basketballs,
our
youth
softballs
volleyball,
your
traditional
things,
but
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
other
areas
that
we
can.
We
can
look
to
try
to
invoke
some
of
these
kids
and
get
them
out
out
from
behind
the
playstations
and
the
xbox
get
them
to
our
parks,
get
them
in
front
of
people
who
may
have
the
lesson
to
teach
them
and
just
kind
of
break
that
eggshell
and
try
something
different.
F
We
want
to
look
for
some
new
avenues:
that's
not
entirely
sports
driven,
exciting,
adult
leagues
for
all
ages
and
skill
sets
something
that
we
want
to
try
to
do
is
partnering
with
hanover
college
ivy
tech,
the
local
communities
around
here,
not
just
jefferson
county
really
and
try
to
expand
what
we're
doing
for
all
of
our
adults,
whether
that
is
again
the
traditional
stuff
of
your
basketball,
your
adult
softball,
whether
that's
men's
or
women's
flag
football
sand.
Volleyball
we've
got
a
lot
of
unique
facilities
here
that
we
have
a
lot
to
offer
our
community.
F
New
software
for
online
booking
with
golf
now
we'll
have
the
full
2022
season
and
then
reserve
america,
which
we
will
be
unveiling
here
in
january
for
our
campground.
So
this
is
going
to
be
a
much
user,
more
user-friendly
service
for
everybody
that
is
kind
of
world-renowned
now
about
how
to
use
the
campground.
That's
what
flippy
falls
uses
it's
the
number
one
campground
software
in
america.
F
There's
no
reason
we
can't
have
that
full
each
and
every
night
and
then
upgrade
our
community
apart
from
enjoyment
of
all
one
thing
that
we've
we're
focusing
on
with
this
master
plan
is
our
neighborhood
parks,
our
gains
our
oak
hill,
our
lorenz
park.
F
These
are
things
that
have
been
neglected
for
quite
some
time
and
it
all
kind
of
comes
full
circle.
When
you
think
about
the
deficit
that
we've
incurred
with
sunrise,
it's
been
leaking
money
for
how
long
we've
been
trying
to
patch
it
with
this
money
that
should
have
been
going
to
repairing
our
parks
to
providing
for
our
children.
I
mentioned
that
we
already
have
more
facilities
than
we
should
for
for
our
size,
but
one
thing
that
I've
learned
at
one
of
these
competitors
that
it's
about
selling
experiences
not
spaces.
F
G
There's
there's
a
lot
of
other
organizations
that
are
working
that
will
hack
together
that
will
have
a
direct
impact
on
what
matt
just
outlined
as
goals
for
2022,
believe
it
or
not,
but
we're
about
to
do
a
major
road
and
sidewalk
project
in
oak
hill,
because
of
the
way
that
we
are
asset,
managing
our
streets
and
our
sidewalks.
Now
we're
able
to
leverage
state
grant
dollars
in
order
to
make
a
bigger
impact,
and
so,
rather
than
doing
a
street
here
street
there.
G
You
know,
we've
been
tackling
neighborhoods,
bigger
projects
where
you
can
see
the
big
impact
and
oak
hill
is
a
prime
candidate
for
it,
because
we
have
poorly
rated
streets
and
sidewalks
up
there
as
we've
gone
through
the
asset
management
plan,
which
will
also
allow
us
an
opportunity
to
revisit
then,
which
is
next
year,
upgrades
to
the
park
in
the
area
because
he
had
mentioned
the
five
basketball
courts
and
that's
probably
one
of
the
worst
ones
across
the
city,
so
we'll
be
able
to
tackle
a
lot
of
things
all
at
the
same
time.
G
On
the
programming
side
of
things,
the
jefferson
county
board
of
tourism
through
leadership
of
councilman,
curtis
chatham,
they
formed
a
jefferson
county,
mass
and
hanover
sports
tourism
group,
and
so
we're
now,
having
kind
of
the
beginning
meetings
of
that
as
to
how
do
we
link
up
tourism
so
that
it
benefits
our
athletic
programs
and
and
when
we
have
big
events
in
the
community,
how
do
we
reach
out
to
them
so
that
they're
staying
in
our
hotels,
they're
dining
in
our
restaurants,
they're
visiting
the
community,
and
that
already
shows
a
lot
of
promise
and
there
are
sporting
events
going
on
across
our
community
that
aren't
sponsored
by
the
school
or
the
city
that
are
privately
sponsored
just
recently,
there
was
a
gymnastic
tournament
out
at
southwestern.
G
So
there's
a
lot
we
can
do
to
leverage
for
the
benefit
and
when
we
say
leverage,
it's
either
bringing
more
money
to
an
initiative
or
bringing
more
money
to
the
community
and
that's
why
the
integration
of
of
all
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
here
will
have
a
much
bigger
impact
in
2022
than
probably
ever
before.
G
We
had
a
few
groups
this
summer
did
a
fantastic
job:
corporate
citizens
they
beautified
the
campground
did
painting
and
beautification
there
cleaned
up
hatchery
hill.
All
across
I
mean
there's
a.
We
have
a
very
terrible
community,
both
on
the
churches
and
our
corporate
sponsors
that
are
corporate
entities
that
sponsor
or
provide
labor
to
do
things
to
help
help
our
park
system
a
system
to
make.
E
G
G
So
what
we're
going
to
do
now
is
just
kind
of
give
you
an
update
on
the
progress
we've
made
at
sunrise
through
the
course
of
the
year.
A
lot
of
progress
have
been
made.
A
lot
of
progress
still
needs
to
be
made,
and
I
know
roger's
here
and
he
hasn't
seen
these
numbers
and-
and
I
just
finished
them
yesterday,
but
you
might
want
to
blow
that
screen
up
a
little
bit,
I'm
really
going
to
focus
on
the
graphs,
but
I'll
give
some
highlights.
G
The
way
we're
doing
now,
which
is
manually,
preparing
them
collecting
information
from
the
clerk's
office
for
transactions
and
then
trying
to
assimilate
it
into
a
fashion
of
information
that
we
can
then
make
decisions
off
of.
But
this
first
graph
is
about
rounds
play
and
through
the
end
of
november,
we
have.
We
have
had
13
169
rounds
of
golf
relative.
D
G
E
G
A
a
good
point
of
sale
system
for
us,
but
it's
also
going
to
be
you
know
our
marketing
platform
roger
brought
that
in
and
has
worked
with
getting
that
online
and
a
lot
of
these
improvements,
you
know
again
has
happened
really
in
the
last
quarter
for
the
most
part,
because
we
we
got
control
of
the
clubhouse
in
july
we
started
making
these
technological
changes,
the
updates
the
platform
changes,
and
there
are
things
that
we
didn't
get
to
that
are
still
priorities
for
2022,
but
I
will
mention
that
you
know
last
year,
in
all,
prior
years,
all
the
rounds
played
were
tracked
manually.
G
They
were
tracked
on
a
piece
of
paper
somewhere
now
by
using
a
point
of
sale
system,
we're
able
to
track
exactly
what
we're
doing
exactly
what
we're
selling
exactly
how
many
hot
dogs
or
beers
and
round
the
golfs,
whether
you're
a
seasoned
pass
holder
or
a
or
someone
coming
from
the
community
to
play
math
you'll
toggle
over
a
little
bit.
I
want
to
talk
about
the
revenue
section
for
just
a
second
right
there.
So
what
we're,
showing
here
revenue
today
for
11
months,
is
380
thousand
dollars.
G
That's
up
12
over
2020
at
this
time
of
year,
340
000,
approximately
it
was
in
in
2020,
we're
still
looking
to
diversify
our
revenue
streams
as
traditional
golf
courses
is
coming
largely
from
green
fees
and
passes
that
we
sell
cart
stickers,
but
you'll
see
where
we
are
also
generating.
Now
some
concession
revenue.
G
G
That
we
had
wanted
to
do
in
2021
they
didn't
get
to,
but
is
a
priority
for
2022
is
our
corporate
sponsorship,
so
we're
going
to
generate
quite
a
bit
more
money
now
from
corporate
sponsorships,
and
I
saw
an
outline
that
roger
and
matt
had
pulled
together
along
with
the
golf
board
and
zach
you're,
probably
involved
in
this
on
things.
G
They
want
to
do
to
really
create
more
play
and
cultivate
more
more
player
players
at
sunrise,
and
it's
put
some
pretty
exciting
things
for
for
next
year,
but
our
revenue
is
up
12
if
you'll
go
back
over
to
another
graph,
sorry
to
flip
it
back
there,
but
season
pass
structure
is
very
similar
to
prior
years,
where
the
majority
of
it
is
from
adults
that
is
down
a
little
bit,
but
the
across
the
spectrum
of
other
membership
season
pass
holders
was
fastest
college
and
high
schools.
G
E
G
That,
yes,
we
still
want
to
get
grow
back.
Our
season
right
passes,
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
play.
That's
already,
there's
still
a
great
benefit
which
we'll
get
into
here
in
just
a
second
there's,
still
a
big
benefit
by
having
a
season.
G
Yes,
even
though
we
raised
the
rates
last
year,
but
we
needed
it
and,
as
matt
indicated
again,
the
reason
we
went
through
all
of
this
was
so
we
can
create
a
source
of
capital
to
do
other
things
with
that
are
really
important
across
the
park
system,
whether
it
be
our
sports
programming
side
or
investing
in
upgrading
and
maintaining
the
vast
number
of
parks
we
have
across
the
community.
G
So
matt
go
back
over
to
the
left
and
we'll
talk
about
expenses
for
a
second.
This
is
a
really
important
statistic
here
on
the
left,
where
you'll
see
salaries,
the
the
big
takeaway.
G
G
D
G
Going
to
make
money
at
that
ratio,
so
we've
been
able
to
to
reduce
our
salaries
and
benefit
overhead
ratio
from
125
down
to
82.
I
still
think
82
is
on
the
high
side,
but
we're
making
dramatic
progress.
G
The
changes
aren't
going
to
be
made
overnight,
but
we're
chipping
away
at
it,
and
the
key
here
isn't
to
have
more
overhead
reduction,
because
we
got
to
have
enough
to
maintain
the
course
and
the
caliber
that
we
want
and
also
to
manage
it.
The
key
is
going
to
be
the
growing
the
revenue
side
and
we
do
that
with
more
outside
rounds
played,
and
we
do
that
with
corporate
sponsorships
and
concessions.
G
Those
are
all
literally
three
revenue
streams
that
we
really
haven't
had
much
of
in
in
the
past,
but
that's
going
to
be
the
game
changer
for
for
sunrise,
if
you'll
flip
back
over
to
the
graph
again
we'll
go
down
to
the
revenue
composition
I
talked
about,
we
are
introducing
more
revenue
here
which
is
now
coming
from
concessions,
and
we
are
because
of
the
rate
increase
we
did
last
year.
G
Not
only
are
we
getting
more
revenue
from
a
very
similar
amount
of
paid
rounds,
but
we're
getting
22
more
revenue
from
season
pass
holders
and
still
delivering.
I
think
an
exceptional
value
for
season
pass
holders
going
down
to
the
other
graph,
we'll
just
stay
on
the
graph
side,
expense
composition.
G
What
I
mentioned
here,
our
largest
expense,
obviously
is
salary
and
benefits
that
consumes
the
bulk
of
our
expenses
there
and
the
rest
is
in
amortizing
some
debt
service
and
batteries
and
a
golf
a
couple.
Golf
cart
acquisitions
and
the
rest
really
is
maintaining
maintaining
the
golf
course
biggest
expense
in
maintaining
the
golf
course
outside
of
salaries
and
benefits
is:
is
chemicals,
chemicals,
the
biggest
one
and
then
beyond,
beyond
that
it's
utilities
between
gas,
water,
sewer
and
telephone.
G
The
thing
about
if
you'll
toggle
back
over
I'm
going
to
give
you
one
more
really
powerful
statistic,
and
that
is
our
year-to-date
operating
expenses
are
540
1
000.
That.
G
000
a
month
that
compares
to
our
monthly
expenses
in
last
year
and
prior
years
of
82
000
a
month,
so
we
have
reduced
our
monthly
operating
expenses
43
over
2020..
G
We
also
reduced
our
accrued
over
time
by
80.
That
was
something
that
wasn't
very
well
managed
and
and
because
we
we've
made
the
changes
structurally,
it
requires
less
supervisory
and
administration
time
last
point
on
the
golf
course
I'll
mention
that
this
is
the
bottom
line.
G
What
the
bottom
line
is
the
bottom
line,
while,
while
we're
also
delivering,
I
think,
a
great
value
and
a
good
golf
experience
the
whole
again
mission
about
all
this
is
trying
to
organically
create
a
source
of
capital
so
that
we
can
invest
in
the
rest
of
our
parks
without
relying
on
the
rest
of
our
park
system.
To
do
it,
keep
in
mind
that
our
property
tax
levy
that
supports
the
parks
and
the
city
is
not
growing
much
at
all.
G
I
use
the
example
last
year
when
we
were
talking
about
the
rates
that
you
know,
the
county
library
has
a
bigger
tax
base
than
the
city,
mass
and
parks
department
and.
G
I
say
county:
it's
the
jefferson
county
library.
Their
funding
is
based
on
all
the
assessed
value
of
all
the
property
in
jefferson
county,
which
is
approximately
a
billion
dollars,
city,
mass
and
park
system.
While
it's
enjoyed
by
visitors,
tourists
and
the
entire
county
is
only
supported
by
the
fees
we
generate
off.
Of
those
revenue
generating
assets
like
the
pool,
the
campground,
the
golf
course
and
our
property
taxes
based
on
city,
mass
and
property
taxes,
and
so
our
property
taxes.
G
The
assessed
value
of
the
property
in
the
city
of
madison
is
a
little
over
600
million
dollars.
So
you
can
kind
of
see
the
correlation
of
what
strains
our
resources,
because
our
parks
are
open
to
all
but
is
funded
by
city,
mass
and
residents
and
fees
that
we
charge.
So
we
had
this
discussion
recently
at
a
at
a
county
commissioner
county
council
meeting
as
we're
working
on
a
major
water
project
for
next
year,
and
that
is
a
city
of
madison
resident
is
a
jefferson
county
resident
and
they
pay
city,
madison
and
jefferson
county
taxes.
G
A
jefferson
county
resident
only
pays
jefferson,
county
taxes
and
not
city
madison
taxes,
because
they
don't
get
all
the
city
services,
but
they
do
benefit
from
all
the
investment
we
make
in
our
roads,
our
sidewalks,
our
parks,
our
tourism
apparatus
and
all
of
our
facilities.
So
we're
not
proposing
anything
different.
I'm
only
pointing
that
out
that
we
have
to
be
really
judicious
about
how
we
operate,
because
we
don't
have
a
very,
very
big
base
of
taxes
that
we
levy
in
order
to
support
our
park
system.
G
We
still
have
not
prepared
for
big
capital
expenditures,
and
I
want
I
mean
by
big-
is
really
our
are
the
the
water
system
up
there
we're
still
using
you
know
the
sprinkler
system?
That's
probably
20
years,
25
years
old,
it's
being
patched,
you
know
along
the
way,
but
but
this
is
a
good
start.
It's
a
good
start.
G
Yes,
last
year,
last
year,
again
I'll
just
mention
that
we
were
tracking
manually
right
yeah,
but
we
we
had
presented
that
there
were
25
000
rounds
of
golf
last
year,
roughly
exactly
similar
percentages,
74
season
pass
rounds
and
26
percent
pay
grants.
Okay,.
G
Track
manually,
there
was
also
a
covered
year
where
there
was
probably
a
lot
of
extra
play
because
of
outdoor.
You
know
the
push
toward
outdoor
act
safe
outdoor
activities
during
coven,
but
so
let
me
know
we're
tracking
we're
tracking,
probably
to
end
up
with
less
than
14
000
rounds,
okay,
but
because
we're
in
the
winter
season
now
right.
E
G
E
G
We
still
have
to
work
to
get
our
costs
down
and
and
we're
going
to
have
to
evaluate
that
cost
structure.
E
That
that
golf
now
will
generate
more
individual
rounds
right
roger
because
that's
that's
kind
of
the
goal
and
then
and
it
it
fluctuates
with
that-
that
per
round
cost
and
that's
going
to
generate
you're
going
to
leave
your
premium
for
your
premium.
But
some
of
those
other
rounds
golf
now
will
help
yeah
absolutely.
G
Roger's,
taking
the
exact
approach
that
I
would
take
with
it,
which
is
consider
every
tea
time
inventory
yeah
and
once
you
pass
that
tea
time
you
kind
of
have
spoilage.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
what
golf
now
will
help
us
do
is
market
so
before
our
universe
was
primarily
madison.
G
Now,
with
golf
now
and
with
our
website,
we
have
a
great
website:
that's
out
there
now
we're
able
to
reach
anybody
and
then,
when
we
start
really
truly
linking
it
up
with,
you
know,
stay
and
play
type
things
and
league,
and
first
tee
programs
and
all
the
things
that
that
roger
and
golf
board
and
matt
are
working
on
we'll
see
we'll
see
more
play
out
of
that.
But
the
first
step
is:
how
do
we
create
a
marketing
presence?
G
You
get
that
marketing
presence
through
the
golf
now
through
your
website
and
through
having
an
intentional
marketing
effort
that
we
frankly
you
know
didn't
do
didn't
do
much
of
in
priorities
right
I
mean
yeah,
yeah
and
so
talk
about
discount
the
book
and.
D
E
D
E
G
Something
new
but
I'll,
tell
you
anybody
that
comes
for
a
tournament
or
if
you're
coming
from
out
of
town
out
of
town,
they
expect
to
be
able
to
buy
alcohol
when
when
they
couldn't
get
the
alcohol
we
either
had
to
cater
it
in
like
if
we
were
doing
a
a
tournament
or
a
league
or
not
an
event.
E
G
And
then
we're
still
and
we're
still
generating
a
good
value
for
season
pass
holders.
I
mean,
I
know
that
last
year
it
was
a
phenomenal
value
and
then
we
changed
the
rates.
It's
still
a
good
value,
and
I
think
that
the
improvements
that
we've
made
to
the
course
itself
is
providing
a
good
experience.
I
might
invite
roger
danny.
I
think
he
wants
to
add
that
on
what
I'm
talking
about
with
with
regard
to
strategy
and
where
we've
been.
H
Where
we're
going,
I
was
just
going
to
bring
up
one
golf
down.
Example:
two
guys
here
right.
H
Just
one
example
of
golf
down
two
gentlemen
from
louisville
came
up
to
play.
I've
never
been
to
the
golf
course
they
were
in
their.
You
know:
60s
king
stopped
at
the
clubhouse
to
turn
asked
if
we
had
any
group
rates
or
anything
that
the
facebook
page
the
bogey
brothers,
what
they
call
themselves
a
group
of
75
followers
on
facebook
and
they
travel
with
a
group
of
30
golfers,
we're
already
setting
up
a
date
to
come
up
and
play
so
just
one
example
of
where
it's
not
actually
golf.
H
E
G
I
like
the
direction,
we're
heading
and
the
progress
we've
made
and
the
energy
we
just
it's
something
you've
really
got
to
focus
on,
and
you
know
we,
you
know
zach's
also
on
that
golf
board,
so
that's
been
good
to
have
that
really
kind
of
on
site
with
people
that
are
real,
I
mean
I'm,
not
a
real
golfer.
I
mean
I'm
a
hacker
basically,
but
there's
some
real
golfers
putting
some
energy
in
making
sunrise
the
best
golf
course.
It
can
be.
C
So
if
you
guys
look
here
on
our
presentation,
our
program
trends
from
1990
to
2019,
as
you
can
see
throughout
that
whole
entire
time,
we
are
pretty
much
declining
in
numbers.
We
didn't
throw
our
the
past
two
years
in
here
because
and
are
both
fairly
new
and
it's
been
covered
here.
So
it's
not
been
anything
else.
We've
not
seen.
You
know
years
like
that
before,
so
you
know
how.
How
do
we
get
these
numbers
going
in
the
right
direction,
matt
kind
of
said
it
earlier.
C
H
C
Baseball
softball
volleyball,
all
of
those
have
been
50
fees,
registration
fees.
In
the
past.
We
think
we
can
cut
those
down
to
20
dollars.
G
D
C
And
we
firmly
believe
that
we
can
reverse
that
trend
by
making
it
more
affordable
for
for
all
people
to
be
enrolled
in
our
power
programs.
F
I
mean
you're
more
accessible
to
technology,
now,
they're
on
their
phones,
they're
on
their
game
consoles,
just
not
quite
as
invested
in
things
and
those
that
have
a
little
bit
more
talent,
skill
and
the
money
and
the
means
to
do
so:
they're
playing
travel
sports,
whether
that
is
the
travel
baseball
or
football
or
basketball.
I
mean
that's
the
way
that
things
have
kind
of
progressed
when
it
comes
to
sports,
but
there
still
is
a
real
value
to
the
traditional
rec
leagues
that
accommodates
for
those
of
all
skill
levels
of
all
incomes.
F
D
F
There
is
that
value
to
it.
It's
about
creating
that
character
and
building
that
friendship,
that
relationship
working
on
the
social
skills
and
the
discipline
there's,
there's
so
many
different
values
and
lessons
within
each
and
every
one
of
these
program
trends
and
that's
why
we're
just
kind
of
focusing
on
again
what's
traditionally
been
offered
and
why
I
keep
hitting
on
we'd
like
to
be
a
little
more
an
ordinary
and
do
some
different
things
with
it
and
not
just
focus
on
the
sports.
F
But
since
that's
what's
been
offered,
that's
what
we've
gotta,
you
know:
project
ourselves
against
and
so
by
proposing
what
we
are
we're
trying
to
focus
on
increasing
participation.
Our
goal
for
2022
is
to
increase
participation
across
our
youth
sports
by
20
we're
looking
at
that
for
the
breakdown
of
what
we
had
this
year.
It's
only
going
to
take
about
111
kids,
additional
children
to
reach
that
mark,
and
we
think
that
is
completely
plausible.
E
F
Volleyball
football
has
maintained,
basketball
has
been
so
so
in
baseball
and
softball,
though
two
that
have
taken
the
biggest
hits,
but.
E
Those
have
heavy
travel,
yes,
the
value
I
and
coming
through
and,
of
course
baseball
was
my
sport,
but
I
played
youth
basketball.
All
the
way
through
is
the
value
of
keeping
that
kid.
That's
not
bigger,
faster,
stronger
at
12
years
old
and,
having
that
kid
that
you
know
the
kid
is
bigger,
faster
stronger
is
probably
grown
by
then
and
those
other
kids
and
giving
them.
So
they
don't
give
up
at
nine
exactly
they're
hanging
in
there
and
giving
that
opportunity
and
doing
the
best
we
can.
F
I
would
say
if
mr
bronkela
was
here,
he
could
attest
to
how
many
times,
both
from
a
character
standpoint
of
how
many
kids
were
headed
down
the
wrong
path
and
turned
out
to
be
okay
and
make
the
right
decisions
later
on.
Because
of
something
like
this,
a
structure
or,
if
you're,
strictly
looking
at
athletics.
How
many
of
these
nine
to
ten
year
olds
that
then
one
day
in
11th
12th
grade
they
shoot
up
to
and
you're
the
coach
is
on
his
hands
and
knees,
begging
them
to
come
back.
There's
different
propositions
and
values.
F
For
that,
and
that's
why
we
think
this
is
such
a
a
big
endeavor
that
we
want
to
kind
of
go
through
is
just
we
want
to
focus
on
our
participation.
We
want
to
focus
on
our
experience
and
we
want
to
focus
on
helping
the
community
financially.
F
We
think
that
there
is
a
sort
of
value
that
we
can
add
that
we
think
we
can
do
better
for
our
programming.
We
think
that
we
just
need
to
get
the
kids
out
there
show
them
what
all
we
have
to
offer.
We've
been
partnering
like
crazy
with
the
local
schools,
as
you
can
see,
they're
in
the
middle
one
they're
on
cub
field
on
that
turf
for
flag
football,
which
is
something
that
the
kids
and
the
varsity
players
and
coaches
got
to
integrate
together.
F
So
we're
trying
to
do
go
a
different
route
with
some
of
the
stuff
and
still
be
able
to
give
the
kids
the
time
that
they
deserve
the
attention.
I
think
we
can
do
so
at
an
affordable
rate.
But
overall,
if
you
just
looked
at
basketball,
baseball,
softball
volleyball
tackle
football
flag
football
in
2021
to
sign
up
for
each
one
of
those
you
play
every
single
sport
that
was
three
hundred
dollars
with
our
current
proposal.
F
To
do
every
single
one
of
those
again
would
be
150,
so
it
would
be
cutting
it
completely
in
half
and
so
big
way
that
we
can
do
that.
We've
got
a
little
bit
more
overhead.
We're
going
to
be
focusing,
like
I
said,
with
this
program
guide
on
the
marketability
and
going
to
these
businesses
and
getting
more
sponsorships.
That's
going
to
be
a
huge
priority.
Like
you
mentioned,
that.
E
F
E
If
you
could
get
four
teams
and
get
you
know,
36
40,
kids
and
do
it,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
crazy
season
a
month
or
something
give
them.
You
know
just
find
some
people
in
community
to
be
coaches
absolutely
and
do
just
inflate.
That-
and
I
know
you
compete
with
everything
else,
especially
until
they
get
their
driver's
license.
G
I
think
this
is
something
we
should
definitely
try
and
support
it.
I
want
to
reiterate
what
matt
said
about
the
importance
of
athletics
and
recreation
to
our
community,
and
particularly
our
youth
and
all
the
things
we've
been
doing
and
again.
I
can
always
come
back
to
the
reasons
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
how
we
can
make
money
elsewhere
is
so
we
can
invest
there,
but
also
invest
in
the
community,
and
we
have
honestly
we
have
the
resources
to
do
this.
G
We'll
grow
our
we'll
grow,
our
participation
even
at
a
lower
rate,
but
sports
programming
is
very,
very
important
for
us,
roger.
E
And
his
program
that
we're
doing
in
schools,
if
something
comes
up
during
the
summer
pick
up,
15
20
there
try
to
find
a
tennis,
fifteenth
goes
better.
Lifelong
sports
that
you
know
golf
right,
there's
some
there's
some
generation
you
give
now,
but
there's
some
generating
of
revenue.
But
it's
just
experience
of
those
two,
those
two
life-long
sports.
You
know
we
eventually
have
to
hang
up.
Softball
basketball-
and
you
know
literally-
but
you
know
golf
in
tennessee.
E
The
body
doesn't
run
the
bases
quite
like
they
used
to,
but
yeah
just
trying
to
expand
that,
and
I
I
completely
salute
you're,
finding
non-sport
type
activities
and
recreation
for
for
our
youth
and
get
them
into
the
other
things,
whatever
maybe
volleyball,
with
kickball
whiffle
balls
archery,
that's
a
big!
That's.
C
There's
also
instructional
things,
we're
doing
more
camp
ideas
and
things
like
that
that
just
reach
out.
That
was
what
I
was
going
to
hit
on.
It's
not
in
our
guide,
but
we've
been
working
with
hannah
mahoney
pretty
closely
on
getting
camps
set
up
for
you
know
either
the
winner
or
the
summer
for
things
that
aren't
necessarily
sports
driven
like
we've
got
a
theater
camp.
E
C
E
A
So
this
is
resolution
number
2021-5,
whereas
carol
m
brown
died
on
december,
the
19th
of
2020,
leaving
the
city
of
madison
parks
department
as
the
beneficiary
of
an
annuity
through
prudential
insurance
company,
whereas
the
city
of
madison
parks
board
recognizes
the
generosity
of
carol
and
brown
and
her
strong
commitment
to
the
city
of
madison
parks
department,
whereas
it
is,
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city
of
madison
parks
board
to
accept
this
generous
gift
to
the
city
of
madison
parks
department,
whereas
matt
willard
is
currently
serving
as
the
city
of
madison's
park.
Director.
A
A
B
G
We'll
go
ahead
and
let's
do
the
national,
because
I
have
something
that
I
want
to
mention
before
we
close
out.
Oh.
A
Okay,
so
we're
going
to
the
next
item
is
our
meeting
dates
for
the
2022.
A
So
as
of
right
now,
we
will
just
plan
that
on
the
meetings
will
be
on
the
the
first
monday
of
the
month.
So
the
next
board
meeting
for
the
2022
parks
board
will
be
monday
january,
the
3rd
at
6
30.
A
G
Gail,
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
both
yours
and
tim's
participation
on
the
board.
I
have
a
certificate
of
appreciation
for
both
of
you
here
and
it
reads
in
recognition
of
outstanding
dedication
and
support
to
the
city
of
madison
park.
Commissioners,
we
wish
to
honor
tim
whitaker
and
dr
gail
spaulding
for
your
dedication
and
service
to
our
community
since
january
2011
and
10
for
you
april
2012.,
so
almost
a
decade
or
over
a
decade
for
both
of
you
and
you
have
really
helped
us
usher
in
a
lot
of
changes.
G
As
you
can
see,
through
all
the
meetings
we've
had
the
last
year
and
a
half
or
two
years
through
the
parks
department,
I
hope
you
feel
like
you're,
leaving
the
parks
department
in
good
hands
and
with
a
bright
future,
with
the
planning
that
we've
embarked
on
and
not
only
the
strategic
planning,
but
all
the
programming
and
the
support
of
our
fantastic
park
system
across
the
city.
So
I
would
like
to
give
each
of
you
this.
E
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
city.
I've
enjoyed
my
time
on
the
board
tremendously
and,
like
I
said,
it's
been
close
to
a
decade,
didn't
realize
it's
been
quite
that
long,
but
we've
gone
through
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
things.
A
couple
of
long
range
plans,
I'm
excited
to
see
where
matt
and
the
new
board
and
the
mayor
will
take
the
parks.
E
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
exciting
things
on
a
lot
of
people
have
done
work
up
to
this
point,
but
I
think
we're
too
appointed
now
that
the
gas
pedal
is
going
to
get
pushed
and
with
some
grants
and
some
other
things
there's
going
to
be
some
major
changes.
E
The
golf
course
with
a
new
direction
and
I'd
like
to
thank
you,
know
jeff
for
the
work
he
put
in
over
the
years
for
that,
but
the
new
direction
with
that
and
expanding
that,
and
also
with
the
pool
and
those
things
and
hopefully
that
will
take
off,
also
is
a
great
facility
and
just
the
excitement
I
think
there
is.
I
think
the
community
will
hop
on
board
once
they
start
seeing
a
lot
of
these
things.
E
So
I
know
it's
tough
to
raise
rates
and-
and
things
like
that
for
facilities
but
and
great
scheme
of
things,
hopefully
we'll
have
a
better
product
or
lower.
E
Yeah
too,
for
for
families-
and
I
think
that's
the
important
thing
for
our
families
and
give
kids
the
chance
to
participate,
but
the
the
growth
that
is
on
the
table
for
all
everything,
not
just
our
two
or
three,
that
everybody
sees,
but
all
those
small
parks,
city
parks
and
things
like
that.
So
thank
you
and
I
do
appreciate
the
opportunity.
A
I
too,
I
want
to
thank
mayor
and
all
the
members
of
the
parks,
department
and
city
officials
for
allowing
me
the
opportunity
to
work
with
all
of
you.
It's
this
year
was
a
little
trying
and
a
little
difficult,
but
there
were
things
that
needed
to
be
done
and
that's
that's
always
really
what's
most
important
and
I
feel
privileged
and
honored
that
I
had
the
opportunity
to
witness
this
and
be
a
part
of
it
and,
as
tim
said,
I
can't
wait
to
see
the
changes
that
take
place.
A
But
we
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
we
are
serving
we're
serving
hundreds
to
thousands
of
people
in
this
community
and
we
want
to
make
it
a
great
place
for
everyone.
And
so
I
thank
you
mayor.
I
thank
everyone
for
allowing
me
to
be
on
the
board
for
this
long
and
I
I
really
want
to
thank
all
the
current
board
members
and
passport
members
and
past
mayors
that
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with,
and
I
really
appreciate
it
so
with
that.
