WE WILL GO THROUGH THAT FIRST AND THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD ON TO THE ORGANIZATIONAL PART.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? SO MOVED.

SECOND.

OTHERS IN FAVOR OF THE BASICALLY AMENDMENT TO THE AGENDA.

PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, AYE.

[2. BUDGET HEARING FY23: AMENDMENT]

THANK YOU, [INAUDIBLE].

WE'LL PRESENT OUR BUDGET.

THANK YOU. THE ONLY CHANGE FROM THIS BUDGET TO THE ONE THAT WAS ALREADY APPROVED LAST YEAR IS THE INCREASE IN THE MONEY THAT WAS ALLOCATED FOR THE PROJECT. AND IF YOU'LL REMEMBER, WHEN WE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED THE APPLICATIONS FOR THE TCSD, IT INCLUDED WE HAD TWO VERSIONS, ONE THAT INCLUDED THE LARGER PROJECT AND ONE THAT DIDN'T.

AND THEN SO THIS BOARD APPROVED THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION WITHOUT THE BLEACHERS.

AND THEN AT THE VERY NEXT MEETING, I THINK YOU ALL HAD HAD SOME TIME TO TALK TO SOME PEOPLE AND ADJUST AND THEN YOU APPROVED THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR THE LARGER PROJECT.

SO THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT IS MERELY AN ADJUSTMENT FOR THAT MOTION.

AND THIS IS THE FIRST MEETING WE'VE HAD.

SO WITHIN STATE STATUTE, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO A BUDGET AMENDMENT.

TYPICALLY, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO IT IN ADVANCE OF PASSING ANY ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES.

BUT IN THIS CASE, WE WERE A LITTLE BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL.

BUT AS LONG AS WE GET IT SUBMITTED BEFORE JUNE 30TH, WE'LL BE OKAY.

CAN WE PULL UP THE BUDGET, ANDREA.

IF YOU'LL PULL UP.

WILL YOU PULL UP THAT SPREADSHEET? THAT'S AN EXACT IT'S A LITTLE EASIER TO SEE.

SO THIS IS THE FORM I'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE WITH THE STATE.

THAT CAN BE A LITTLE BIT WONKY.

I'LL SHOW YOU WHEN WE GET IN THERE AND.

THE FORM DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK WELL.

ARE YOU ABLE TO? IT'S COMING UP.

OK. THERE IT IS.

BECAUSE THEY HAVE THIS IN A WORKBOOK THAT HAS MACROS ENABLED WHEN WE OPEN IT.

DO WE HIT, DISABLE OR ENABLE, ENABLE, ENABLE.

IT STILL DOESN'T ALLOW US TO.

DID YOU HIT ENABLE? CLICK AS PDF.

SO I'M SUPPOSED TO CLICK THIS PDF THE BUTTON AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO CREATE A PDF.

IT'S NOT DOING THAT. SO I'LL SHOW YOU.

I'LL SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE.

SO THIS IS THE BUDGET SUMMARY PAGE.

IF YOU'LL GO DOWN ANDREA.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THE FINAL APPROVED BUDGET WAS.

YEAH. JUST SO EASY TO READ.

I KNOW. IT'S LIKE IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR $2,201,000, AND THE NEW AMENDED BUDGET IS $3 [INAUDIBLE] 360.

WE HAD A COUPLE OF MOVEMENTS IN THAT REVISED APPLICATION.

ONE WAS FOR THE BLEACHERS.

WE ALSO REDUCED THE ACTIVITY BUS FROM $10,000 TO $2,000.

SO THERE WAS A COUPLE OF CHANGES, BUT THE NEW AMOUNT IS MOSTLY THE $900,000 INCREASE FROM THE BLEACHERS.

AND ACTUALLY, SINCE WE'RE ON HERE AND THIS COMES UP QUITE A BIT, I THOUGHT I'D TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS EXPENDITURE SUMMARY, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE RESERVES. THESE ARE ALL THE DIFFERENT EXPENDITURE CATEGORIES THAT WE CAN HAVE WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

THE WAY WE'VE ALWAYS DONE THE REC DISTRICT DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO CONTINUE DOING IT THIS WAY IS THAT WE HAVE QUOTED ALL OF OUR EXPENDITURES IF WE WANTED TO KEEP MONEY SO LIKE [INAUDIBLE] OUR MONEY, IF WE ALLOCATE MONEY THERE RIGHT NOW, IT COMES TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE HOLD IT IN OUR CAPITAL RESERVES UNTIL WE'RE READY TO SPEND THAT MONEY.

WE COULD KEEP MONEY IN CASH RESERVES IN THE REC DISTRICT.

AND I THINK THAT COMES DOWN TO HOW DOES THIS BOARD WANT TO MANAGE TAX DOLLARS? DO WE WANT TO SAVE TAX DOLLARS WITHIN THE REC DISTRICT? WHICH IS KIND OF THE TAXING AUTHORITY UNDER THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

OR DO WE WANT TO DO IT THE WAY THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IT IN ALLOCATING THOSE FUNDS TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT?

[00:05:06]

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT WE COULD USE SOMEBODY LIKE PROJECT MANAGER AND PAY FOR THEM OUT OF THE REC DISTRICT.

SAME THING. WE COULD HIRE THEM AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT.

REQUEST THAT MONEY AS PART OF OUR APPLICATION TO BE GRANTED BY THIS BOARD.

OR WE COULD PAY THAT PERSON OUT OF THE REC DISTRICT.

THE IDEA OF HAVING THEM HIRED AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT, THEY WOULD GET TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR BENEFITS.

WE WOULD NEED AN MOU SIMILAR TO THE WAY THAT WE DO WITH THE FUND FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION.

BUT THAT'S THE BENEFIT IN GRANTING THE MONEY TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT VERSUS HIRING THEM OUT OF THE REC DISTRICT.

IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE WITH REGARDS TO IF WE HOLD THAT MONEY IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT? IS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT EARNING INTEREST OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE? YES, WE DO.

WE DO EARN INTEREST AND THAT STAYS WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FUNDS.

WE COULD SET THAT UP IN THE REC DISTRICT AND EARN INTEREST IN THE REC DISTRICT.

THE REPORTING IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TAXPAYERS WOULD VIEW US TAXING LEVIES AND THEN SAVING THAT MONEY.

OBVIOUSLY, I THINK WE'D HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WE'RE SAVING IT FOR THIS PURPOSE AND EARMARKING IT.

I SEE. ANY QUESTIONS? THOMAS, YOU'RE THE BANKER.

I DON'T KNOW. I WOULD THINK TAXPAYER DOLLARS SHOULD BE REPRESENTED BY AN ELECTED BODY, AND THAT WOULD BE THE SCHOOL BOARD.

WHEREAS THIS BODY IS MORE ACQUAINTED.

BUT. SEEMS LIKE THAT MAYBE IT'S JUST [INAUDIBLE]. WHERE'S THE [INAUDIBLE] MONEY GOING TO GO FROM WHEN [INAUDIBLE] STARTS GETTING IT? WILL IT COME TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OR TO THE REC DISTRICT? IT'LL COME TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE'LL HAVE SEPARATE ACCOUNT SET ASIDE.

THAT WILL BE A LITTLE TRICKY DEPENDING ON WHICH PROJECT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

THE HOUSING PROJECT SHOULD BE FULLY FUNDED BY SPED DOLLARS.

SO THAT BECOMES EASIER BECAUSE THAT'S ONE CHART OF ACCOUNTS SITTING IN CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION, MONEY IN, MONEY OUT.

WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT THE PARK ACHIEVEMENT CENTER, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES.

SO WE HAVE SPED FUNDING DOLLARS.

WE COULD POSSIBLY ALSO HAVE [INAUDIBLE] FUNDING DOLLARS.

WE COULD ALSO HAVE SOME STATE MONEY FOR THAT PROJECT.

AND IT REALLY IS THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACCOUNTING AND THREE DIFFERENT CHART OF ACCOUNTS, ALL KIND OF FUNNELING INTO THE SAME PROJECT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR KRISTEN? WELL, THEN I WOULD ENTERTAIN MOTION.

SO WE WANT TO GO BACK AND IT'LL BE A MOTION TO GO BACK INTO THE REGULAR MEETING AND THEN VOTE IN THE REGULAR MEETING.

I MOVE TO GO BACK INTO THE REGULAR REC DISTRICT MEETING.

THAT'S REALLY GREAT. YES.

WELL,[INAUDIBLE] MOTION HAS BEEN MADE IN SECONDED TO GO BACK INTO REGULAR SESSION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, AYE.

MOTION PASSES.

ALL RIGHTY. NOW WE CAN TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A

[3. ACTION ITEMS]

SO MOVED.

SECOND. MOTION BEEN MADE AND SECONDED TO MOVE TO APPROVE THE TCSD NUMBER ONE RECREATION DISTRICT FISCAL YEAR 23 AMENDED BUDGET AS PRESENTED.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, AYE.

MOTION PASSES.

WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY ON BOARD TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THAT.

[INAUDIBLE] OK NOW WE'LL GO BACK AND COMMENCE OUR AGENDA AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY LAID OUT TO HAVE THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS FOR

[4. ELECTION OF OFFICERS FOR 2023]

2023. WE'RE GOING TO SKIP OVER THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, [INAUDIBLE] IF YOU DON'T MIND.

IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, THAT'S FINE.

SO THIS IS THE TIME AND PLACE THAT WE USUALLY ELECT OFFICERS FOR THE 2023 YEAR.

ARE THERE ANY MOTIONS FOR THE CHAIRMAN.

[00:10:03]

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT STAYING? HOW LONG IS THIS YOUR FIRST YEAR OR YOUR SECOND YEAR? I THINK THIS IS STILL ME FINISHING THE FIRST YEAR.

AND WHAT IS YOUR.

I'M HAPPY TO DO IT AGAIN IF PEOPLE WANT ME TO.

I'M SORRY. WE DON'T HAVE A [INAUDIBLE].

I MOVE WE KEEP THE EXISTING SLATE OF OFFICERS INTO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? [INAUDIBLE] OKAY.

A MOTION HAS BEEN MADE AND SECONDED TO CONTINUE THE CURRENT SLATE OF OFFICERS.

KATE MEAD CHAIRMAN.

BETSY CARLIN VICE CHAIRMAN.

THOMAS SMITH, SECRETARY AND SCARLETT TREASURER FOR THE 2023 YEAR.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, AYE.

MOTION PASSES.

ALL RIGHT. I NEED APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA, AND WE'LL PULL OUT THE BUDGET HEARING

[5. APPROVAL OF AGENDA]

ITEM NUMBER FIVE FOR THE AGENDA, SINCE WE'VE ALREADY DONE THAT.

IS THERE A MOTION? SO MOVED. SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE AGENDA MINUS NUMBER FIVE THE BUDGET HEARING AMENDMENT.

PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, AYE.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

BUDGET UPDATE. GOOD AFTERNOON. BOARD CHAIR TRUSTEES LAURA DAVENPORT WITH THE TETON COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO BEFORE YOU, IT'S JUST STANDARD.

IT IS THROUGH JANUARY BEING THAT WE'RE AT THE END OF FEBRUARY.

I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF UPDATES WE HAVE.

LET'S SEE EDIT A COUPLE MORE PAYMENTS IF YOU CAN GO TO THE SECOND PAGE ANDREA THAT LISTS ALL OF THEM.

WE HAVE PAID OUT EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE $444,000 FOR THE [INAUDIBLE] ACHIEVEMENT, BUT WE HAVE PAID OUT THE REMAINING BALANCE OF THE [INAUDIBLE] CLUBS AND THE REMAINING BALANCE OF THE [INAUDIBLE] ACHIEVEMENT P EXCUSE ME, FACILITIES IS THE PIECE THAT WE HAVE NOT PAID OUT COMPLETELY.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE ARE ALMOST DONE WITH FISCAL YEAR 23 GRANT APPLICATION PAYMENTS AND I STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS OF LAURA? SO I WAS JUST BACK TO THE OTHER SHEET.

HOW MUCH LIKE TODAY IS IN THE REC DISTRICT CHECKING ACCOUNT, IF YOU WILL, THE $2 MILLION? NO, BECAUSE OF THAT $400,000 PAYING THE BALANCE OF THE CLUBS AND THE $415,000 WE ARE.

AND LIKE I SAID, I JUST HAVE A MOUTH THROUGH FEBRUARY.

LET ME GET MY OTHER LITTLE PAPER.

WE ARE.

SORRY. THE REASON I'M TRYING TO I WANTED TO CALCULATE THE INTEREST SEEMS LOW AS FAR AS THE INTEREST, AS OF 13123, THE $4000, THE BANK FLUCTUATES BASED ON WHAT YOUR BALANCE IS, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS NEW BANK.

BUT HAVE WE HAVE WE LOOKED AT.

SO I WAS CALCULATING THAT WE'D HAVE $2 MILLION IN OUR CHECKING ACCOUNT.

WE DON'T SIT.

I ACTUALLY WE KIND OF FLUCTUATE BETWEEN $600 AND $200,000 BECAUSE THE TAX MONEY THAT WE GET IS ON A MONTHLY BASIS.

SO I PLAY THE GAME OF LIKE THIS MONTH WE GOT $3,000 WAS OUR TAX PAYMENT FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY.

OF THAT THE REC DISTRICT GOT $100 AND SOME ODD THOUSAND.

SO YOUR $2 MILLION IS RECEIVED OVER THE COURSE OF THE 12 MONTHS.

YOU GET YOUR HIGHEST AMOUNT IS RIGHT AFTER YOUR NOVEMBER TAX PAYMENT AND YOUR MAY TAX PAYMENTS.

[00:15:07]

SO YOU'RE NEVER WITH THE FULL $2 MILLION IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.

AND SO I WOULD SAY $650,000 IS THE HIGHEST.

AND THEN THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING, OKAY, I CAN PAY THIS $400,000 BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THE DISTRICT'S BANK ACCOUNT GOING BELOW $250 OR $200,000. SO THAT REMAINING $444,000 IS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE PAID OUT FOR A FULL BALANCE.

I MIGHT CUT IT IN HALF OR IN THIRDS, AND THEN WHEN THAT TAX PAYMENT COMES, I WILL BE ABLE TO PAY OFF THE BALANCE.

SO YOU KNOW WHAT INTEREST RATE OUR BALANCE IS EARNING AT THAT? NOT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

BECAUSE THE GOING RATE NOW IS 4%.

I MEAN, IF WE WERE SITTING ON $2 MILLION OR EVEN $500,000, IF WE WERE IN A SUFFICIENT ACCOUNT, THAT COULD BE SUBSTANTIAL.

BE LIKE $20,000 A YEAR OR EVEN AT HALF A MILLION IF WE WERE GETTING 4%.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT WE'RE GETTING PAID? I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT RATE.

OUR RATE IS BASED ON WHAT THE CURRENT MARKET IS, AND SO IT INCREASES WITH THE CURRENT MARKET.

WE HAVE A BASE RATE OF 1%, WHICH ACTUALLY DID HELP US WHEN INTEREST RATES WERE SO LOW.

ACTUALLY ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SIDE.

I'M LOOKING AT WHAT OUR INVESTMENT POSSIBILITIES ARE FOR SINCE WE'VE BEEN IN COVID.

THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST RATE FOR US GOING FORWARD.

BUT I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

WE DID HAVE.

WHY DID YOU POST THE ADJUSTMENT TO THE INTEREST? WAS THAT IN JANUARY OR WAS THAT FEBRUARY? [INAUDIBLE] YES, WE HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH THEM ACTUALLY PAYING OUT OUR INTEREST.

SO WE HAVE TO CALL THEM AND SAY, HEY, YOU PAID US OUR INTEREST.

[INAUDIBLE] YEAH, WE THEY THEY HAD TO RECALCULATE FROM DECEMBER 5TH ALL THE WAY TO JANUARY 31ST.

SO AS OF RECONCILING IN FEBRUARY, I CAUGHT UP ALL OF OUR ACCOUNTS FOR BASICALLY TWO MONTHS WORTH OF INTEREST.

SO WE ARE IN THE BEST INTEREST [INAUDIBLE] BECAUSE I RAN THESE REPORTS BEFORE, I RAN THE RECONCILE THE BANK STATEMENTS.

SO WE'LL YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE A CATCH UP.

AND WHEN I RUN THE REPORTS FOR THE NEXT MEETING.

IT JUST SEEMED LOW [INAUDIBLE].

AND YEAH, AND LIKE I SAID, IT FLUCTUATES DEPENDING.

AND IF I BRING YOU DOWN TO $250,000, THEN YOU'VE DROPPED AN INTEREST RATE FOR SURE WITH THE BANK [INAUDIBLE] OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF LAURA? WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LAURA.

UM. I THINK THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT OUR ACTION ITEMS NOW UNDER ITEM NUMBER

[6. FINANCE / BUDGET UPDATE]

SIX ON OUR AGENDA, CONSIDERATION OF TCSD NUMBER ONE RECREATION DISTRICT FISCAL YEAR 23 BUDGET AMENDMENT.

HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THAT? SO, KRISTEN, YOU TOLD US ABOUT THIS ALREADY, CORRECT? YES. [INAUDIBLE] YES.

GREAT. ARE THERE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OF KRISTEN? SEEING NONE. CAN I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE BUDGET AMENDMENT? SO MOVED, SECOND.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? MOTION HAS BEEN MADE AND SECONDED TO APPROVE THE TCSD NUMBER ONE RECREATION DISTRICT FISCAL YEAR 23 BUDGET AMENDMENT.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

MOTION CARRIES.

THAT'S OUR ONLY ACTION ITEM TODAY.

CONSENT AGENDA HAS ONLY ONE ITEM APPROVAL OF THE MEETING MINUTES OF THE SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2022 MEETING.

[7. CONSENT AGENDA]

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA? I MOVE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

SECOND, ANY MORE DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 701 APPROVAL OF THE MEETING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2022.

PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, AYE.

[00:20:01]

MOTION CARRIES.

ANDREA IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT OUT THERE? NO.

[8. COMMUNICATIONS]

COMMUNICATIONS TO THE BOARD? WE GOT NO LETTERS.

ANY COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE BOARD EITHER? IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO RAISE.

SO I WAS GOING TO ASK, MADAM CHAIR, IS THE [INAUDIBLE] PROJECT DONE? IS IT COMPLETE? WE'RE STILL WAITING ON ENCLOSING THE [INAUDIBLE] SECTION.

SO WITH THE PROJECT COMING TOGETHER, NORMALLY YOU WILL HAVE YOUR PLANS AND IT WILL BE OF HABITAT FOR FIRE SAFETY.

WE HAD TO GET SPECIAL APPROVAL FROM STATE LOCAL FIRE SAFETY.

SO THAT'S CONSISTENT. SO WE'RE STILL WAITING ON ESTIMATES WHAT THAT IS GOING TO COST.

SO WHAT DOES THE UNDERNEATH INTEL BATHROOM STORAGE.

JUST FOR STORAGE.

WAS THERE EVER BIDS TO DO SOMETHING UNDERNEATH AS FAR AS BATHROOMS? WAS THAT SOMETHING WE COULD LOOK AT AS A REC DISTRICT TO MAYBE IMPROVE NEXT YEAR? BECAUSE AND THE REASON I ASK, AT THE END OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON, THERE WAS A LOT OF SAFETY ISSUES STILL.

I MEAN, EXCAVATION WAS STILL OCCURRING.

IT WASN'T REALLY TO ME, IT WAS TOO SOON FOR SPECTATORS TO BE SITTING THERE BECAUSE IT WASN'T.

SUFFICIENTLY COMPLETED.

AND THEN A LOT OF COMMENTS I HAD HEARD THAT THERE'S NOT BATHROOMS OVER THERE.

EVERYONE HAS TO WALK ACROSS THE FIELD.

SO I'M WONDERING BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN WE SET OUR NEXT BUDGET, IF WE COULD GET SOME BIDS TO FOR THE REC DISTRICT TO CONSIDER TO MAYBE MAKE IT MORE PLEASING TO THE SPECTATORS THAT SIT THERE.

I THINK WE COULD DO SO MUCH MORE UNDERNEATH, KIND OF LIKE THE FAIRGROUNDS WHERE THEY HAVE A CONCESSION AREA.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU LADIES HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIT IN THE NEW STANDS.

THEY'RE VERY NICE. BUT LIKE I SAID, IT WAS A IT WASN'T COMPLETE ENOUGH.

AND THEN I HEARD A LOT OF COMMENTS HOPING THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO MORE.

WE THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS FOR STORAGE UNDERNEATH WITH GARAGE DOORS BECAUSE LIKE THE LITTLE HUTS THAT HAVE POPPED UP AND EQUIPMENT AND UNDERNEATH THE THE OLD BLEACHERS IS WHERE WE SAW A LOT OF THE TRACK EQUIPMENT AND THAT KIND OF THING.

WE PUT THE BIG CURTAIN OVER IT SO YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT'S BEHIND IT.

BUT THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL PLAN, WAS TO ENCLOSE IT AND USE IT AS STORAGE.

BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK INTO WHAT OTHER THINGS THAT WE COULD ADD IN THERE.

WE ALSO DID NOT CAVE UNDERNEATH.

IT'S JUST ROCKS UNDERNEATH THERE BECAUSE THAT WAS AN ADDED $150,000 FOR PAVING UNDERNEATH.

AND YOU CAN DO THAT AT A LATER DATE.

BUT DURING THE CONSTRUCTION IT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE WEREN'T READY TO ADD ON TOP OF GETTING THE PROJECT DONE.

SO THERE'S STILL SOME THINGS THAT ARE LEFT TO COMPLETE, LIKE THE SOUND SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL.

YOU CAN'T HEAR OVER THERE.

[INAUDIBLE].

WELL, HOW MANY HOW MANY RESTROOMS DO WE HAVE ACTUALLY OUT HERE? SO WE PUT A HANDICAPPED PORTA POTTY ON [INAUDIBLE]. WELL, I'D HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU.

I'VE USED THE BATHROOMS AS A CONCESSION STAND, BUT.

SINCE WE'VE SORT OF EXPANDED THE USE OF THAT [INAUDIBLE], THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER OR AT LEAST SEE WHAT [INAUDIBLE].

WHAT IT WOULD BE ALL ABOUT.

YEAH. YEAH, OF COURSE.

AND IF WE WERE LIKE, OH, GOSH, IF IT'S LIKE THE COUNTY NEEDS BATHROOMS, WHAT MILLION DOLLAR TOILETS? PROBABLY NOT.

BUT I THINK YOU COULD DO SOMETHING UNDERNEATH.

AND REALLY, EVEN IF WE DID MANY LOCKER ROOMS OR SOMETHING, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A MORE BENEFICIAL SPACE AND

[00:25:03]

WHERE DON'T THEY CURRENTLY MEET IN THAT LITTLE SHED AT HALF TIME.

AND SO, I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF EMBARRASSING.

AND WE HAVE WE HAVE THESE BEAUTIFUL STANDS NOW.

TO ME, THEY'RE HALF COMPLETE.

I DO HAVE DREAMS OF BUILDING LOCKER ROOMS, WHERE THE OLD BLEACHERS ARE.

[INAUDIBLE]. IT DOESN'T SOLVE THAT PROBLEM AT ALL.

AND WHAT DID THE BASEBALL DOES THE BASEBALL FACILITY THAT'S OVER HERE ON OUR GROUND, DO THEY HAVE BATHROOMS? [INAUDIBLE] SO THEY USE THE CONCESSION BATHROOMS. SO THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

BE SOMETHING CLOSER.

LIKE BETSY SAID, IT WOULDN'T HURT TO AT LEAST GIVE US SOME NUMBERS TO CONSIDER.

AND MAYBE YOUR LOCATION WHERE YOU DREAM ABOUT THAT WOULD BE PREFERABLE.

[INAUDIBLE].

CAN YOU SIT IN THOSE BLEACHERS NOW OR ARE THOSE CONDEMNED? WE USED THEM THIS YEAR ONLY FOR MAYBE THE PRESS BOX.

AND WE HAD PEOPLE THERE FOR THAT.

WE ARE NOT ASKING PEOPLE.

[INAUDIBLE].

WELL, AT THE VERY LEAST, WE SHOULD LOOK AT BID TO DEMO THOSE.

YEAH, WE PLAN TO.

WE ACTUALLY ARE HOPEFUL THAT MAYBE SOMEBODY WILL CONSIDER REMOVING THEM AND KEEPING THE MATERIAL AND THEREFORE WE [INAUDIBLE] WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE POWER ON THE OTHER SIDE.

[INAUDIBLE].

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

YEAH. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. ANY OTHER COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE BOARD? AND ADVANCE PLANNING.

I THINK WE HAVE A LIST OF DATES FOR OUR NEXT MEETINGS [INAUDIBLE].

[9. ADVANCED PLANNING]

THAT IS UP ON BOARD.

ANYTHING SPECIAL WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AS A REC DISTRICT BOARD? NO. WE'VE ONLY RECEIVED ONE ISSUE SO FAR.

BUT YOU'RE OUT THERE.

YEAH. AND THEN THIS FORMAL MEETING ON APRIL 18TH, IT'S A TUESDAY TO REVIEW THE APPLICATIONS FOR [INAUDIBLE]. GREAT.

SO HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THEN.

SO WHEN'S OUR NEXT MEETING? APRIL 18TH. YES.

THOSE APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY MARCH.

COULD WE GET MADAM CHAIR SOME OF THESE BIDS BY THAT MEETING SO WE CAN HAVE THAT NUMBER IN MIND WHEN WE'RE REQUESTING TO THE BOARD? [INAUDIBLE] OKAY.

THANK YOU. STRANDS, AND THAT'S GREAT.

SEEING NO OTHER BUSINESS.

CAN I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? SO MOVED, SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AYE.

WE ARE ADJOURNED.
