SO GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY JUST AS A REFRESHER, ONE OF OUR THREE PROGRAMS OF THE PANEL, UM, WAS TASKED TO IMPLEMENT WAS INITIALLY KNOWN AS WELCOME RECEPTIONS. AND SO WE'VE REBRANDED THAT INTO ANY ONE ON ONE, AND WE HAVE HAD A SERIES OF THREE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS UPPER RUNNING THIS SUMMER INTO THE FALL AND REALLY THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM. UM, IS TO CONNECT.
PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN NEW ALBANY WITH WHAT'S GOING ON IN GOVERNMENT. AND HOPEFULLY TO MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE AND ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION FROM EVERYONE THAT LIVES IN NEW ALBANY. SO OUR FIRST PROGRAM WE RAN IN MAY, UH IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS LONGER THAN THAT, BUT, UH, IT WAS THE BUSINESS PARK TOUR, SO WE RAN THREE DIFFERENT TOURS OUT OF
[00:05:02]
VILLAGE WHOLE TOOK THREE GROUPS . WE PROBABLY WE HAD CLOSE TO FULL BUS. IT'S SHUTTLES EACH OF THE THREE TOURS. AND UM, REALLY WENT THROUGH. PAST GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK AND THE INTEL SITES WITH THE CRANE AND ALL THE DIRT THAT'S BEING MOVED AND TALKED ABOUT THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS PARK . SO I THINK THAT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL. WE HAD GOOD FEEDBACK FROM THAT. THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU THAT PARTICIPATED AND TOOK THE TOUR. I HOPE YOU LEARN SOMETHING I SOMETIMES THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN YOU ALL BEING DON'T EVEN REALIZE HOW BIG THE BUSINESS PARK IS, OR THAT IT IS PART OF NEW ALBANY. AND SO HOPEFULLY WE PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION AND EDUCATION TO OUR RESIDENTS. AND THEN OUR NEXT. ANYONE IN ONE PROGRAM COMING UP IS WE'RE CALLING THIS SUMMER HAPPY HOUR. AND SO THAT IS GOING TO BE OVER AT THE HEIGHT CENTER ON WEDNESDAY. SO WEDNESDAY, RIGHT JULY 12TH FROM 6 TO 7 30. SO THIS ONE WE'VE INVITED ALL OF OUR CITY COUNCIL ALL OF OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. UM, AND PANELS.WE'VE INVITED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OF JOINT PARKS DISTRICT AND THE IDEAS THAT HOPEFULLY, IT'LL BE NICE. WE'LL HAVE THE PATIO AND ALL THE INDOOR SPACES AT THE HEIGHT CENTER, AND WE CAN HAVE TABLES SET UP. SO THE JOINT PARK DISTRICT WOULD PROBABLY TOM AND HAVE THE PLANS FOR THE FIELD HOUSE AND BE ABLE TO TELL THE COMMUNITY ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON THERE. PEOPLE LOVE TO MEET THE FIRE CHIEF AND THE POLICE CHIEFS WILL HAVE THEM THERE. WE'LL HAVE OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND PEOPLE HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SNOW REMOVAL OR HOW TO A TREE THAT'S IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE AND REALLY JUST BE ABLE TO HAVE EVERYONE THERE THAT OUR RESOURCES TO THE COMMUNITY AND OUR BOARD AND COMMISSION AND PANEL MEMBERS. SO IF ANYONE THAT IS COMING AS INTERESTED IN BEING INVOLVED, THEY CAN TALK TO EVERYONE AND SAY, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES THE RB DO? WHAT'S THE IDEA PANEL? DO YOU KNOW? WHAT IS IT LIKE BEING A PLANNING COMMISSIONER? UM AND SO OUR PREFERENCE FOR JULY BECAUSE THAT IS THE DAY BEFORE YOUR REGULAR SCHEDULED MEETING WOULD BE THAT YOU COULD ATTEND THAT HAPPY HOUR AND THEN WE WILL CANL OUCER JULY MEETING. SO THAT'S THE BASICS OF IT MORE TO COME LIKE THE SIDE SAYS JUST PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD. WHETHER IT'S SOCIAL MEDIA OR WITHIN YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND YOUR ANY ORGANIZATIONS. UM YOU BELONG TO IN THEN SHOW UP AND JUST, YOU KNOW, TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE SO FAR. I KNOW THIS IS A NEWER THE PANEL THAT WE HAVE UM, AND TELL PEOPLE WHAT GOT YOU INVOLVED IN IN WHAT YOU LIKE THE CITY TO ACCOMPLISH. AND THEN OUR FINAL ONE IN THIS SERIES OF PROGRAMS WILL BE THE TAYLOR FARM PARK TOUR IN THE FALL. SO WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT ON OCTOBER, 5TH AND 5 TO 7. UM THINGS ARE HAPPENING SO FAST OUT THERE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE DRIVEN DOWN DUBLIN GRANVILLE ROAD LATELY. UM BUT BY THAT TIME , THE FIRST PHASE WILL BE OPEN, AND SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE PEOPLE COME IN. THERE WILL BE A PARKING LOT BY THAT TIME AND THEN WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE UM, DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR PEOPLE. SO IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE PLAYGROUND WILL HAVE CITY STAFF POSITION THERE THAT CAN TALK ABOUT ALL THE PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS IN THE CITY AND ARE KIND OF PLAY PHILOSOPHY. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN TRAILS WILL HAVE A CITY STAFF PERSON THAT CAN SAY OH YEAH, WE HAVE 35 MILES OF TRAILS. HERE'S A TRAIL YOU CAN TAKE AND WALK AROUND TAYLOR FARM IF YOU WANT. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE HOUSE OPEN . UM WHICH IS IT'S PRETTY NEAT, UH, TO GO INSIDE THERE, AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE HISTORY AND PEOPLE CAN WALK AROUND AND SEE THE HOUSE. UM AND THAT ONE WILL CERTAINLY ASK CAR PARKS AND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD TO COME. AND BE PRESENT. SO IF PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT THAT ROLE THAT THAT BOARD SERVES , THEY WILL BE THERE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION. DID YOU SAY? 35? MILES OF TURNED 30? I THINK WE'RE 35. ANYONE THAT MORE. THERE'S I THINK THERE'S TWO STEPS LIKE ONE FOR THE ENTIRE CITY AND THEN ONE THAT SEPARATES OUT CITY FROM EACH AWAY MAINTAINED BELIEVE, AND SO I THINK LIKE AS A WHOLE THE CITY HAS EVER 59 TRAIL THAT WE JUST MIGHT MAINTAIN ME. SOUNDS A LOT MORE. YEAH. SO THAT'S THE ANYONE ONE SERIES IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK NOW WE'RE OPEN TO IT. 55 55 KIND OF HIGH. YEAH WHEN YOU SAID THAT, I THOUGHT THAT'S FROM THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS. YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT WHAT WE WHAT WE PAY. WE HAVE TWO VERSUS WHAT SPOT RIGHT.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO COME FROM 4 TO 5. BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. MAYBE THEY WOULD CHANGE THEIR SCHEDULE, ABSOLUTELY FOCUS GROUP AND EVERYBODY LIKE THAT. THAT'S A GREAT SUGGESTION. I JUST ASSUME EVERYBODY IS GOING TO, YOU KNOW, WAKE UP THERE AND GO TO BED. THEY'RE LIKE JUST KIDDING. I DON'T REALLY MEAN THAT, UM, JUST A FEW OF US. BUT AS WE GET THOSE PRODUCTION DETAILS BACK FROM KAPPA, AND WE REALLY FIRM THIS UP AND FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED. STAFFING LIES WILL SEND OUT A REALLY DETAILED DOCUMENT.

GETTING THE LIST OF LIKE SOME CHURCHES THAT THEY ATTEND, AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST SENDING IT OUT TO THOSE THEY CAN ANNOUNCE THAT THEIR CONGREGATION AT THIS EVENT IS HAPPENING.

SO IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU WANT US TO BE ABLE TO SAY, LIKE THE FOOD TRUCKS DO THIS WAY OR THE FREE WATER IS OVER HERE, JUST SEND US THE LIST. YOU KNOW, WE COULD WELL, BE SURE TO WORK IT IN. OKAY? THANK YOU. I THINK OF ANOTHER QUESTION START. SO IS THERE A PODIUM OR ACTUALLY, MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE TO ASK THIS NOW THAT IF MAYBE BRIANNA AND I CAN ALSO JUST HAVE A WALK THROUGH LIKE YOU GUYS HAVE IN THE SPACE, SO I'M TAKING ANI THROUGH AT NOON ON MONDAY.

CYNTHIA REQUESTED A PODIUM, SO WE WILL HAVE ONE. THERE. I DON'T AND I GUESS WE COULD PUT IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE STAGE, AND WE COULD BELIEVE IT THERE BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA PRETTY IT UP WITH SOME FLORAL STUFF AND LEAVE IT OVER ON THE SIDE, AND THEN WE CAN JUST MOVE THAT WHOLE ARRANGEMENT INTO THE MIDDLE WHEN IT'S HER TURN AND THEN PUT IT BACK TO THE SIDE. SO IF YOU WANTED TO LEAVE SOME NOTES THERE. I THINK WE COULD DO THAT. OKAY YEAH, FOR LIKE THE GORY DRAMA DID OBVIOUSLY THEY NEEDED CLEAR SPACE. YEAH AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO. UM YES. SO I THINK IF WE'RE WE IF WE WANT TO LEAVE THE PODIUM PERMANENTLY ON THE STAGE, IF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO TALK FROM THE PODIUM, IT WILL BE ON ONE OF THE CORNERS OF THE STAGE.

IT'S A IT'S A MORE NATURAL END TO HAVE THE BAND PLAY THEIR LAST SONG. PEOPLE JUST SORT OF GO BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO START GOING.

YEAH WELL, WATER OUT THERE AND THEN FOR JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW I MEAN, IT WON'T. WE'RE NOT GOING TO OPEN IT UP TO THE PUBLIC WERE NOT GOING TO THE BACK OF THE STAGE.

ELSE? I CAN'T BELIEVE WE DID THIS. OH YEAH, WE WERE LOOKING AT WAS HAVING A SORT OF A MOMENT WHERE I WAS LIKE, OH, AND THEN I LOOKED AT THE CALENDAR AND I WAS LIKE WE THIS WAS ON MAY 24 AND I WAS LIKE WE HAVEN'T WE MET ON APRIL 20/5 FOR THE FIRST TIME. I WAS LIKE, OKAY, I'M GONNA GIVE MYSELF A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THERE HASN'T EVEN BEEN A FULL MONTH. WE STARTED PLANNING THIS SO TO PUT THIS TOGETHER IN A MONTH AND A HALF IS REALLY A TESTAMENT TO THE WORK OF THE FOCUS GROUP, PARTICULARLY AND THEN BEING SO WILLING TO JUST CONTINUE TO GIVE US FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS AND ALL OF THE THINGS AND YOU KNOW AGAIN. THE KIDS I'M JUST BEARING ON IT THROUGH THEIR FINALS. WE'RE WORKING WITH US AND HANGING IN THERE AND SENDING US STUFF SO IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN A REAL COMING TOGETHER TO PUT IT TO PUT THEIR THAT ON SO HELP.EVERYBODY IS PROUD. HAS ANYONE BEEN HEARING LIKE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT IT, OR I DON'T KNOW IF THE PEOPLE HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE THINGS IN THE NEWSLETTER OR LIKE DO PEOPLE KNOW THEIR MILK?

HE WAS AMPLIFIED JUST IN CASE THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY FOLLOWING SOME OF THE PAGES, BUT THEY LOOK AT IT AND GET THEIR NETWORKS ALSO. I THINK LAST TIME WE TALKED, OR THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT A POSSIBLE PRESS RELEASE. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO STILL KEEP ON THE TABLE? OR CONSIDER OR IS THAT KIND OF NOT AS BENEFICIAL FOR THIS OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM DOESN'T THINK THERE HAS BENEFICIAL AS THEY USED TO BE, BUT BACK WITH THEM AND SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO, I THINK WE DEFINITELY SAW TIME FOR THAT, OKAY? YEAH AND THAT'S BAILEY'S WORKING ON THIS FLYER. SHE'S MENTIONING, SO IT'LL BE A BIGGER THING. WE'LL WE'LL ASK THE SCHOOLS TO SEND IT OUT THROUGH PEACH SHAR, WHICH STILL GOES. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A KID IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. IT'S THE ELECTRONIC FLYER SYSTEM. SO ONCE A WEEK YOU GET A NOTICE. YOU SEE ALL THE FLYERS THAT PERTAIN TO YOUR BUT IT GOES AFTER THE WHOLE DISTRICT, WHICH IS NICE. SO WE'LL REQUEST IN ALL DISTRICT ONE. I'M HOPING THAT WHEN I TALK TO PATRICK KILLED, ALSO DROP IT IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS. UH WEEKLY COMMUNICATIONS AND ONE COMES FROM SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION , AND THEN YOU GET THESE FLYERS THAT ARE REALLY ONLY IF YOU'RE A PARENT. YOU GET THOSE BUT THE OTHER ONES. ANYBODY CAN SIGN UP FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND OUT WEEKLY EMAILS, BUT WE'LL ASK HIM TO PUT IN BOTH OF THEM, OKAY? SO WE'LL HAVE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT WAY, WHICH IS A MUCH LARGER AUDIENCE. THAT POPULATION IS LIKE 24,000 TOTAL THAN SCHOOL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES VERSUS YOU
[00:45:07]
KNOW THE SMALLER, JUST CITY BOUNDARIES. PERFECT. AH BUT WHEN WE CREATE THAT FLYER, THEN IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A PRESS RELEASE, BUT IT WILL HAVE MORE. IT'LL BE MORE WORTHY. THEN SOME OF THESE LITTLE SPLASHY THINGS THAT WILL GO OUT AND THAT'S UM WILL ATTACH THAT TO THE THAT INVITATION THAT I SEND OUT TO PEOPLE.

IF YOU'LL BE UP ON STAGE, AND THEN THAT'S REALLY LIKE TO DO FOR THAT PART.YEAH. I MEAN, WE CAN REALLY JUST IT'S PRETTY MUCH THIS IS WHAT I WOULD SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC ANYWAY.

ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT JUNETEENTH WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT ANOTHER ONE. ANOTHER ONE RIGHT ON ITS HEELS.
YEAH. THIS ONE IS NOT HOW AS MUCH BUT HAVE NO FEAR. IT'S BECAUSE OF THE TOTALLY DIFFERENT TYPE OF EVENT. UM SO OUR NEXT, UH, OUR NEXT EVENT IS JULY. 1ST UM, IT IS FROM 9 30 TO 3. IT WILL BE AT THE MIRACLE LEAGUE. FIELD AND FROM 9 30 TO 1 30 MIRACLE LEAGUE WILL BE HAVING THEIR REGULARLY SCHEDULED GAMES . THEY HAVE FOUR GAMES THAT THEY PLAY. SO THOSE ARE THE FIRST ONE STARTS AT 9 30. THEN THEY START EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR, SO THOSE WILL BE TAKING PLACE AND THEN AROUND THE FIELD. AND WE WERE WALKING IN A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO TRYING TO DECIDE EXACTLY WHERE WE CAN STRATEGICALLY PLACED THINGS THERE WILL BE BOUNCE HOUSES LIKE A SPEED PITCH. THING TRAIN, THE KIDS AND GROWNUPS CAN RIDE ON ITS SEATS. 30. 30 ADULTS CAN PULL OUT OF TIME SO WE CAN REALLY PILE ON THE LITTLE ONES. BUT SAFELY UM WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THEIR GAMES. I AM FORGETTING SOMETHING. THERE'S AGAIN FACE PAINTERS, CARICATURE ARTISTS, BALLOON TWISTERS. WE HAVE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH, UM. MULTIPLE PARENTS WHO HAVE KIDS. ALL DIFFERENT AGES, AGE RANGES AND, UM ABILITY, BOTH PHYSICAL AND COGNITIVE TO SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE'VE GOT PLANNED. WHAT ARE WE MISSING? LIKE? IS THERE SOMETHING HERE FOR YOUR KID TO DEAL? AND UM, I'VE GOTTEN, YOU KNOW. YES FROM ONE AND THEN ONE. SHE'S LIKE, YEAH, THERE'S NOTHING THERE FOR HER TO DO. AND I SAID, OKAY, SO WHAT DO WE NEED, AND SHE GAVE ME A WHOLE LIST OF THINGS WHICH WE'RE WORKING ON, AND IT'S A LOT OF, UM THEY'RE GREAT IDEAS. IT'S YOU KNOW, BUBBLES, AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND SPIN ART WHEN YOU WERE KIDS. YEAH YEAH. JUST SET UP SOME SPIN ART STATIONS, WHICH IS, UM SO FAIRLY, UM. DOESN'T REQUIRE A LOT OF FINE MOTOR SKILLS AND ALSO YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU'RE IN A WHEELCHAIR. UM SO, BUT YOU STILL GET A REALLY FUN PIECE OF ART PHOTO BOOTH, DJ. AH! THERE WILL BE FOOD TRUCKS. BAILEY IS WORKING ON THAT. UM. AND THEY'RE PLAYING GAMES IN THE AND THEY'RE GONNA BE PLAYING GAMES SO YOU CAN WATCH A GAME. YOU CAN DO ALL THESE ACTIVITIES I THINK IS A BIG PART OF THE FOCUS IS BRINGING PEOPLE OUT TO SEE THE GAME. MIRACLE LEAGUE. YEAH JUST AMAZING. YEAH ATHLETES AND THEIR AND THEIR VOLUNTEERS THAT THEY WORK WITH. UM. AND THEN SO THE GAMES END AT 1 30, DR QUINN ALL WHO REALLY IS THE REASON WHY MERKEL LEAGUE IS HERE? AND YOU, ALBANY? UH, HE REQUESTED A CONCERT FROM 1 30 TO 3 TO SORT OF END OUT THE DAY ALSO TO GIVE PEOPLE THE ABILITY TO ACTUALLY GO ONTO THE FIELD AND CHECK IT OUT BECAUSE GUESTS AND VISITORS WON'T BE ABLE TO GO ONTO THE FIELD FROM 9 30 TO 1 30 BECAUSE
[01:00:04]
THERE WILL BE GAMES BEING PLAYED. SO WE CANNOT JUST WALK OUT IN MIDDLEFIELD, THEN SO IF PEOPLE WANT TO EXPLORE THE FIELD AND KIND OF GET TO EXPERIENCE WHAT THAT'S LIKE ABLE TO DO THAT, AND THERE'LL BE A BAND PLAYING AND THEN ALL THE OTHER ACTIVITIES WILL CONTINUE. WHILE THAT BAND IS PLAYING, SO ALL THE BALANCE HOUSES ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, SO THE KIDS JUST WANT TO RUN AROUND AND PLAY WELL. AT THE END. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE END IT'S GOING TO BE. WE'VE SENT HIM A COUPLE. TO POP. HE THINKS THAT COUNTRY MUSIC GOES BEST WITH BASEBALL, AND I SAID OKAY, SO WE'RE WORKING ON IT. UM WE DON'T HAVE A BAND THAT'S GOING TO BE IT, BUT I'M SURE THEY'LL BE FANTASTIC. WHOEVER IT IS LIKE I SAID, WE'VE GOT SOME OTHER THINGS. THERE'S SOME OTHER COMMUNITY GROUPS HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS TODAY. WE'RE WORKING ON SOME OTHER CONNECTIONS TO GET SOME ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THERE WERE TRYING TO GET CANINE COMPANIONS THERE WITH THEIR PUPPY RAISERS AND THE PUPPIES BECAUSE THE PUPPIES NEED TO BE SOCIALIZED. A LOT OF THOSE DOGS WILL GO TO KIDS? YEAH THAT ARE PLAYING IN A LEAGUE AND THEN IT'S A WAY FOR THE KIDS TO BE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH THE ANIMALS THAT ARE THERE. BUT VERY UNDER CONTROL ANIMALS, WHICH MAKES ME HAPPY. UM SO JUST SORT OF WANDERING. UM TALKED TO L S U FITNESS AND TODAY AND THEY MAY BE VERY INTERESTED IN COMING AND SETTING UP SOME ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS TO DO SORT OF ON THE SIDE. UM SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF, YOU KNOW A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS IN THERE TO MAKE IT ENGAGING. UM I KNOW WE HAVE A PANEL MEMBER WHO'S VERY INVOLVED IN SPECIAL OLYMPICS. IS THERE ANYTHING? YEAH, WE COULD, UH, DO WITH THAT. IS THERE A TIE IN IN TERMS OF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR JOB. YEAH EVEN IF THEY WANTED TO JUST HAVE PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL THERE OR SOMETHING THAT . AT LEAST THE TABLE OR SOMETHING WE CAN DO WHATEVER I MEAN, MAYBE SPECIAL INSTEAD OF OH, SHOE. I DON'T MIND TELLING THEM THAT WE'VE GOT A BETTER OPTION, ESPECIALLY SPECIAL OLYMPICS WANTS TO SET UP A LITTLE, YOU KNOW, OBSTACLE COURSE AREA OR FUN AREA AND HAVE SOME INFORMATION WE CAN ABSOLUTELY WE CAN DO THAT. OKAY? YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT. I LOVE THAT IDEA. SO THEIR FOOD TRUCK FOOD TRUCKS FOR THIS TWO CHECKS FOR THAT ONE TO YOU. THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE AT THE MIRACLE LEAGUE FIELD. SO UM, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE EARLY LEARNING CENTER UM OKAY, SO IT'S HERE'S THE EARLY LEARNING CENTER HERE IS THAT DRIVEWAY THAT YOU PULL IN AND OUT OF, AND THEN HERE'S THE MERCURY FIELD. ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE IT'S BETWEEN L C AND THE POOL. YES THAT'S A THAT'S A MUCH BETTER WAY TO DESCRIBE THAT.THAT'S WHERE IT IS, UM, AND THERE'S LOTS OF LAND THAT'S AROUND THE FIELD. UM AND THAT'S WHERE WE'LL STAGE. SOME OF THESE WERE TRYING TO DO A BALANCE BETWEEN HAVING THINGS DIRECTLY OFF OF THE PAVED SURFACES, SO KIDDOS AND WHEELCHAIRS HAVE OR WITH WASHING DEVICES DON'T HAVE TO, YOU KNOW. CROSS THE GRASS TO GET TO THESE THINGS, SO THEY'VE GOT SOME EASY ACCESS, BUT THEN ALSO STILL LEAVING IN A ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO WALK THROUGH THE FACILITY TO GET TO THEIR GAMES AND TO WATCH THE GAME, SO WE'RE BALANCING SOME OF THOSE THINGS, BUT IT WILL BE WILL BE SPREAD OUT AROUND IN THERE. THIS ONE WILL COME TOGETHER BEFORE WE MEET AGAIN.
SO I THINK FOR THIS ONE AS WELL UM, JUST BEYOND WILL COMMUNICATE. EVERYTHING WE KNOW , UM WITH YOU BY EMAIL AND PROBABLY AND SOME OF THOSE SAME THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT BETWEEN THERE AND WELCOMING PEOPLE AND TALKING WILL APPLY TO THIS EVENT AS WELL. YEAH I WAS PERFECT. I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO NOW LIKE AND LIKE, THREE YEARS AGO. YEAH YEAH, THIS ONE WE WILL WHEN ? WHEN DR KLINGLE GETS BACK AGAIN. HE TALKED ABOUT THEY DO SO THEY HAVE PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE CEREMONIAL FIRST PITCH SPECIAL GUESTS, SO WE'LL WORK WITH WITH OUR CITY COUNCIL.
MAYBE WITH SOME OF YOU ARE TO FIGURE OUT WHO THAT'S GOING TO BE. SO THERE ARE THERE'S THEREFORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THAT AND THE FOUR GAMES, BUT REALLY, I WOULD SAY IF YOU'RE THERE AT ONE AT 1 30 IS WHEN THAT BAND IS GOING TO COME ON, AND WE'LL DO ANNOUNCEMENTS JUST LIKE WE'LL DO THE JUNETEENTH EVENT BEFORE WE KICK OFF. IT WILL BE A LITTLE WELCOME. UM THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. A LITTLE TALK ABOUT WHAT? THE IDEA PANEL IS, UM AND THEN GOING TO THE CONCERT. SO IT'S REALLY THAT END PIECE ON THIS ONE, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO. WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO DISRUPT
[01:05:04]
THE FLOW OF THE GAMES BECAUSE THAT IS THAT IS THE REASON THAT WE'RE THAT WE'RE GOING THERE SO HMM. PRETTY TIGHTLY SCHEDULED. WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE ABOUT THIS ONE? THIS ONE'S A LITTLE MORE FREE FORM BECAUSE IT'S JUST SORT OF TAKES PLACE. AROUND THESE BASEBALL GAMES. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE T SHIRTS WOULD BE PERFECT FOR THIS TOO. YEAH. YES. ALL RIGHT. HAPPY. I ALSO THINK WE SHOULD, UM WHEN YOU SEND EMAILS TO THE PEOPLE TO INVITE THEM. WE DEFINITELY MAKE SURE WE SEND IT TO THE WORKING GROUP. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, BUT ALSO TO THE ORIGINAL IDEA PANEL. NO THAT'S AND WE SHOULD ASK THEM IF THEY HAVE THEIR SHIRTS THAT THEY SHOULD WEAR THEM.SORRY TO GET TO THE RIGHT PERSON. AND WE DO STILL HAVE THAT LIST SERVE. IN THE SYSTEM.
PROBABLY AN ORIGINAL IDEA. COMMITTEE MEMBERS. ADDED THAT TONIGHT. LINEUP PERCEPTION.
ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO NEIGHBORHOOD AMBASSADORS. SOUNDS EXCITING, FULL MEETING.
WE'RE HITTING ALL THREE. YES. THAT'S GREAT. OKAY SO JUMPING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AMBASSADOR UM, PORTION. SO YOU HAVE A MEMO IN FRONT OF YOU AND I BELIEVE I ATTACHED IT TO THE EMAIL AS WELL FOR THE MEETING. UM. IT WAS BACK IN MARCH, WHERE YOU REVIEWED THE CASE STUDIES AND YOU KIND OF PULLED OUT PARTS THAT YOU LIKED AND YOUR VISION FOR HOW YOU SAW THIS PROGRAM COMING TOGETHER. AND SO WE TOOK THAT AND WE PUT IT INTO A FRAMEWORK THAT KIND OF DISTILLED THOSE KEY POINTS AND HOW WE WOULD BE ABLE TO YOU. IMPLEMENT THIS GOING FORWARD. UM, I THINK . IT'S REALLY OBVIOUS WE HAVE A LOT GOING ON AT THE MOMENT. AND SO I THINK SOME OF THESE EVENTS WILL PROBABLY TAKE PRIORITY AT THE MOMENT. AND THEN AS WE HAVE CAPACITY, AND AS WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE IT TO COUNSEL AND THEN MOVE FORWARD, UM SOME OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS WILL BE BASED ON OUR BUDGET AND STAFF SCHEDULING GOING FORWARD. UM, BUT REALLY DISTILLING THESE DOWN TO. TO THE COMPONENTS OF WHAT THIS PROGRAM WOULD LOOK LIKE, AND WE'LL FIRST NEED A PROGRAM LEAD. AND SO THIS WOULD LIKELY BE A STAFF PERSON. THAT WOULD BE A POINT PERSON. TO WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE AMBASSADORS, AND THEY WOULD DO THE AMBASSADOR RECRUITING TRAINING. UM DEAL WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING OF THE PROGRAM WORK WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT ON THAT. MANAGE THE RESOURCES AND PROVIDE THE ONGOING SUPPORT. UM. AND WE THINK LIKE LOOKING DOWN AT THE AMBASSADOR GATHERINGS. THIS WOULD LOOK LIKE ANNUAL AND BI ANNUAL GATHERINGS. INCLUDING TRAINING MATERIALS, AND ALSO JUST A REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL THE AMBASSADORS TO TOUCH BASE FREQUENTLY, UM THEY CAN SHARE WHAT WORKED WELL WITH THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. WHAT CHALLENGES THEY MIGHT FACE. JUST CONNECT AS A GROUP. THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU NEED THE AMBASSADORS. AND THE AMBASSADORS WOULD BE VOLUNTEERS. MAYBE 1 TO 2 PER NEIGHBORHOOD, DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. UM AND THEY WOULD LIAISE BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. MAINTAIN AN UPDATED CONTACT LIST OF EVERYONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS THEY'RE ABLE AND THEN PERFORM PROVIDE THAT WELCOMING SUPPORT AS NEW PEOPLE MOVE INTO THE COMMUNITY. AND THEY CAN ALSO LEAD NEIGHBORHOOD EVENTS, AND I THINK THERE ARE SOME IDEAS IN THE MEMO THAT WE'RE EITHER BROUGHT UP AT YOUR AT THE MEETING IN MARCH OR THINGS THAT WERE IN SOME OF OUR KEY STUDIES. AND THESE THINGS ARE THINGS LIKE NEIGHBORHOOD. UM JULY 4TH PARADE FLOATS OR FOUNDER'S DAY A FIELD DAY YOU COULD HAVE LITTLE COMPANY FRIENDLY COMPETITION BETWEEN NEIGHBORHOODS MAYBE, UM , PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENTS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE NEW COURT OPEN UP.
SO EVERYONE CAN GET THEIR PICKLEBALL RACKETS OUT. AND UM, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A FUN
[01:10:06]
THING TO DO. NEIGHBORHOOD PICNIC. COMMUNITY NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP. UM AND THEN THERE ARE OTHER EXAMPLES IN THE CASE STUDIES AS WELL. I THINK THREE ON THREE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT AND SAFETY MEETINGS. SCRATCH SALES BIRTHDAY CARD CHAIN OF CORRESPONDENCE. AH OR EVEN MORE LIKE EDUCATIONAL THINGS LIKE A DRIVE SLOW NEIGHBORHOOD AWARENESS CAMPAIGN. UM, WAS ONE OF THE EXAMPLES IN THE CASE STUDY? SO THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS I MEAN, IT'S REALLY THOSE ARE JUST A START. UM BUT THESE AMBASSADORS CAN LISTEN TO WHAT THEIR NEIGHBORS WANT TO DO. AND MAYBE, UM, THERE'S A GROUP THAT WANTS TO, YOU KNOW, SIT DOWN ON THEIR PORCHES ON FRIDAY NIGHTS AND HAVE A BEVERAGE AND LET THERE YEAH. OR MAYBE YOU WANT TO HAVE A WHAT WAS THE DOMINOES? COMPETITION BETWEEN DIFFERENT GROUPS. AH, THOSE ARE JUST SOME GENERAL IDEAS. UM. ON THE CITY SIDE OF THINGS. THE CITY WILL NEED TO PROVIDE THIS ONGOING SUPPORT, AND THAT WILL BE PRIMARILY THROUGH THE PROGRAM. LEAD, UM BUT THIS CAN TAKE THE SHAPE OF THE TRAINING. PROVIDING MENTORSHIP AS NEEDED, OR MAYBE CONNECTING PEOPLE ONE AMBASSADOR TO ANOTHER. OR DIFFERENT. UM, YOU KNOW, KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN THE COMMUNITY OR PEOPLE OF LEADERSHIP THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AMBASSADORS MIGHT WANT TO CONNECT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD TO A SPECIFIC PERSON. EXCUSE ME. UM AND THEN. ONE OF THE MAIN IDEAS. SORRY. THERE IS A PARTICULAR. NO. SO THE WEBSITE THAT WAS A BIG POINT OF DISCUSSION DURING THE LAST MEETING IN MARCH, UM AND ONE OF THE EXAMPLES WE SAW HOW TO REALLY COOL MAP. UM, THAT REALLY IT WAS FUN TO LOOK AT. IT WASN'T KIND OF A BORING LITTLE MAP. IT WAS AN INFOGRAPHIC AND YOU COULD DISTILL WHICH NEIGHBORHOOD YOU LIVED IN, BUT YOU CAN ALSO MAYBE CLICK ON IT AND SEE. OKAY WHEN YOU CLICK ON IT, THIS IS MY NEIGHBORHOOD AMBASSADOR AND THIS IS THEIR PICTURE. YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE THEM. THIS IS THEIR BIO. MAYBE YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH THEM. OR MAYBE IT'S A IT'S A GOOD STARTING POINT TO GET CONNECTED TO THEM. YOU WOULD HAVE THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION AS WELL. THE WEBSITE WOULD INCLUDE ALL THE PROGRAM FEATURES ONLINE VERSIONS OF RESOURCES, AND THESE CAN BE THINGS THAT WE PASS OUT TO NEW NEIGHBORS WHEN THEY MOVE IN, BUT ALSO HAVE THEM AVAILABLE ONLINE. TO CONNECT PEOPLE. IN THAT WAY WE CAN PUT AN ADVENT CALENDAR ON THE WEBSITE. UM MAYBE HAVE AN. UM, AN APP THAT COULD CONNECT THE AMBASSADORS TO EACH OTHER, POTENTIALLY ON THE WEBSITE. UM IT COULD BE AN APPLICATION. FOR IF THERE ARE OPENINGS FOR THE AMBASSADOR'S, ESPECIALLY AT THE BEGINNING, UM REALLY PUSHING THAT APPLICATION OUT, SAY, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING AND CONNECTING YOUR NEIGHBORS TO EACH OTHER, THIS IS A THIS IS HOW YOU CAN APPLY. UM . AND THEN THE ONGOING RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. ONE OF THE THINGS MENTIONED AT THE MARCH MEETING WAS A NEW NEIGHBOR CHECKLIST THAT COULD BE JUST A LIST OF THE RESOURCES. THAT YOU WANT TO PROVIDE TO A NEW NEIGHBOR COULD LISTEN YOU OR LOCAL BUSINESSES. THAT, UM CHECKLIST OR THE LIST OF ADDRESSES COULD BE REALLY IMPORTANT TO CREATE MAILINGS FOR NEW RESIDENTS. UM AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE NEWS AND RESOURCES FROM THE CITY, SO THIS WOULD BE THINGS LIKE UM NEW ALBANY 101 EVENTS REALLY CONNECTING THOSE TWO TOGETHER, I THINK IS A GOOD PLACE TO START, BUT THEN ALSO HOW TO SIGN UP FOR OUR CONNECTS EMAILS AND SOCIAL MEDIA AND ALL OF ALL OF THAT. SO THESE ARE THE COMPONENTS. UM DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS? ANYTHING YOU WOULD ADD? WHAT COMES TO MIND? I THINK THIS IS GREAT. UM MY FIRST THOUGHT ABOUT THE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR INVESTORS WOULD[01:15:04]
THAT BE BEHIND LIKE A PASSWORD PROTECTED SOMETHING OR OTHER OR I THINK THERE COULD BE UM. LIKE A PUBLIC FACING VERSION AND WHATEVER WHATEVER THE. THE BEST MODE. I MEAN, THAT'S A TO YOU ALL TO DECIDE. I GUESS MAYBE WE CREATE UNIQUE EMAILS FOR THE AMBASSADORS THAT WOULD BE JUST BEFORE THE AMBASSADORS. YEAH NOT LIKE PEOPLE'S PHONE NUMBERS, RIGHT? CONVENIENT TO JUST GIVE IT A TEXT. SOMEONE YEAH, BUT MAYBE MAYBE THERE'S A CONTACT FORM THAT GOES STRAIGHT TO THEIR EMAIL OR TEXT THEM AND SAYS, HEY, SOMEONE'S TRYING TO GET CONTACT INFO YOU CAN REACH OUT.THAT'S GOOD. THAT KIND OF THING. GOOD QUESTION, HMM. AND WHEN WE BE POTENTIALLY BE LAUNCHING THIS I KNOW IT'S KIND OF TIGHT. YEAH SO I THINK THAT'S THE QUESTION OF I TRIED TO BREAK IT DOWN BY PHASES IN TERMS OF STARTING WHERE WE ARE TONIGHT. THAT'S YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING AND THINKING ABOUT HOW TO HOW WE DO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NEXT STEP IS TO TAKE IT TO COUNCIL AND, UM YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE COMMENTS TONIGHT THAT I TAKE BACK SO I WOULD UPDATE THE MEMO AND THEN IN THE NEXT FEW COUNCIL MEETINGS. SOMETIME THIS FALL. MAYBE WE COUNSEL COULD TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT IT, AND THEN BASED ON STAFF CAPACITY. UM WE WOULD BUILD UP A WEBSITE AND THOSE ARE KINDS OF THE THINGS THAT. REALLY WILL TAKE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STAFF INVESTMENT IN TERMS OF BUILDING A WEBSITE DEVELOPING ALL THE TRAINING MATERIALS. UM IT'S. IT WILL BE TIME INTENSIVE AND SO THINKING ABOUT HOW WE PLAY THAT INTO ONCE THESE EVENTS AND START TRIPLE EVENT THE NEXT FEW WEEKS PASSES, THEN WE CAN MAYBE DIVE INTO THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE. I THINK MHM WOULD JUST ECCLESIA. WE MIGHT BE LOOKING AT IT 2024 LAUNCH, UM, JUST TO BE QUITE FRANK ABOUT THAT. WOULD YOU BE ASKING COUNSEL FOR LIKE AN ADDITIONAL STAFF MEMBER OR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT LIKE THAT YOU HAVE TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT. YEAH, SO THIS ONE DEFINITELY IS. HAVE A LITTLE MORE THE ONGOING NATURE OF IT. IT'S A LITTLE MORE STAFF INTENSIVE IN BUDGET INTENSIVE, SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT IF WE HAVE OUR CURRENT CAPACITY TO DO THAT OR NOT. WE DON'T WANT TO DO IT POORLY, SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT RESOURCES THAT CAN FOCUS ON IT SO I DO THINK OUR TIMING IS REALLY GOOD. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO ENTER OUR BUDGETS IN AUGUST AND THEN KIND OF INTO THE FALL IS BUDGET SEASON, SO I THINK WE'LL KNOW MORE AS WE GET INTO THAT TIMEFRAME. YEAH, I MEAN, BUT IF YOU THE FRAMEWORK IN THESE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS, IF YOU GUYS LIKE WHERE THIS IS HEADED. I THINK IT FORMS THE BASIS OF THE PROGRAM. AND THEN THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO TAKE THOSE NEXT STEPS. I THINK THAT THE WHOLE CONCEPT IS HELPFUL, POTENTIALLY FOR CITY STAFF AND CITY COUNCIL JUST TO REALLY GET AN UNDERSTANDING. OF WHAT, UM BUT THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS ARE UM WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FORWARD.
PROBLEMS ARE HAVING. I KNOW WE DO THE SURVEY, WHICH IS GREAT AND HELPFUL, BUT SOMETIMES THERE MIGHT BE THINGS THAT COME UP IN BETWEEN SURVEY PERIODS OR PEOPLE MAY NOT TAKE THE SURVEY OR KNOW THAT IT'S AVAILABLE. SO HAVING SOMETHING LIKE THIS THAT'S FRIENDLY AND KIND OF LOWER KEY LOWER STAKES. I THINK IT REALLY DOES GET AT THE HEART OF TRYING TO CREATE A COMMUNITY FEEL AND MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE MOVES IN AND THEN FEELS INVISIBLE. LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW ANYONE THEY DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF POTENTIAL ADVANTAGES THAT IT WOULD BE, I THINK, PRETTY CONVINCING. SELL. UM SO. BUT I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER BEHIND THE SCENES PIECES TO THAT PLAY A ROLE. THE ONLY OTHER THING I'LL ADD, IS THAT I KNOW IF I CAN EARLIER IN THE GENESIS OF THIS CONVERSATION, THAT WAS IT WAS SOME OF IT WAS AROUND. YOU KNOW NEW PEOPLE FROM UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES OR UNDERSERVED BACKGROUNDS OR PEOPLE OF COLOR THAT REMOVING HERE NOT NECESSARILY NECESSARY. FEELING WELCOME. HERE OR KNOWING HOW TO KIND OF NAVIGATE HERE. AND SO I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE I STILL SEE SOME OF THAT HERE BECAUSE I THOUGHT SOME OF THE INITIAL INTENT WAS MAKING SURE WE CLEAR THIS SPACE WHERE PEOPLE OF DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS WERE FEELING LIKE, OKAY, THIS IS A PLACE THIS IS A CITY FOR ME THAT THERE'S THINGS HERE FOR ME SO MAYBE JUST SOME OF IT. IT'S PROBABLY IN HERE, BUT I JUST I THINK, MAYBE JUST CALLING OUT THAT THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT INTENT HERE, SO IT DOESN'T GET
[01:20:04]
LOST. AND SO WHEN YOU'RE HIGHLIGHTING BUSINESSES OR THINGS LIKE THAT, JUST BEING SURE INDEX AROUND THE DIVERSITY OF OUR CITY, AND SOME OF THOSE OTHER THINGS THAT WERE WE'RE JUST STILL KIND OF HAVE SOME, FIDELITY SAID ORIGINAL GOAL. THAT'S GREAT, AND THAT DEFINITELY CAN, UM. I THINK BEING INCLUDED IN THE RESOURCE REALLY LIKE NARROWING IN ON, UM . IN WHAT WE ARE PROVIDING TO PEOPLE AND MAKING SURE THAT IT'S ALL ABOUT HOW WE COMMUNICATE IT TO THE NEIGHBOR RIGHT AND MAKING SURE THAT ON AN INDIVIDUAL LEVEL . WE SAY, HEY, YOU ARE WELCOMED HERE AND WE APPRECIATE THAT. YOU DECIDED TO COME JOIN US HERE, UM AND IT'S IN THAT MESSAGING AND SO THINKING ABOUT WHETHER IT'S A BASKET OR A, HOWEVER, THAT'S PRESENTED. DON'T YOU THINK THAT PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE YOU NOW HAVE SOMEBODY PLANTED WITHIN THE SMALLER, MUCH SMALLER VERSION OF THE COMMUNITY THAT IS GOING TO ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE SO EVERYONE GETS THAT INVITATION TO BE A PART OF IT, AND BY THE WAY, IT'S SPONSORED BY THIS PANEL. I THINK THERE'S A MESSAGE THERE FOR PEOPLE. SO WE DO HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THAT SOME OF THESE INITIATIVES WE MAKE SURE THEY WELCOME EVERYONE AND, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CELEBRATE DIFFERENT FACTIONS OF THE COMMUNITY IN DIFFERENT WAYS, BUT ALSO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. HAS TO WELCOME EVERYONE, RIGHT? SO UH, WE'VE GOT TO FIND WAYS TO GET THAT MESSAGE ACROSS. EVERYONE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS INVITED TO ASK QUESTIONS, ATTEND, LEARN. WHEREVER YOU'RE COMING FROM, AND WE REALLY MEAN IT, BECAUSE HERE'S YOU KNOW. WHERE THAT MESSAGE IS STARTING SO. YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, AND I THINK THAT ALL INVOLVED COORDINATING WITH. REALTORS UM AND I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A WAY TO FLAG AT LEAST WHEN IT COMES TO HOMEOWNERS. WHEN THE AUDITOR CHANGES OVER. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A WAY TO FLAG A CHANGE. YEAH, OWNER ON A HOUSEHOLD. IT DEFINITELY BECOMES MORE TRICKY WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO IDENTIFY PEOPLE WHO RENT AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE CATCHING THEM, AND THAT WILL BE A STRATEGY OVER REALLY HAVE TO HAVE TO WORK ON OUR WITH OUR MULTI FAMILY COMMUNITIES, UM I THINK IT'S A COMBINATION OF THOSE THINGS HAVING THE AMBASSADOR IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALSO IS. ONE OF THOSE FACTS THAT YOU KNOW YOU CAN SEE IF SOMEONE'S MOVING IN OR OUT, AND THERE'S A SIGN IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. COMBINED WITH INFORMATION FROM REAL LETTERS. THAT'S A GOOD IDEA ABOUT THE AUDITOR DATA. WE, UM POPULATE. ARE LIKE WE HAVE JS. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM DATA. FOR ALL OUR KIND OF PERMITS AND STUFF WE DO HERE AND WE AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE THAT. WITH THE FRANKLIN COUNTY AUDITOR , SO MAYBE THERE IS A WAY TO FLAG WIND. OWNERSHIP CHANGES. THAT'S A GOOD SUGGESTION. WE COULD ALSO GET PROBABLY MESSAGES FROM THE SCHOOL WHENEVER THERE'S A NEW KID ENROLLED IN THE SCHOOL. ALTHOUGH THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS A BIGGER BOUNDARY, IT DOES ALSO INCLUDE THE CITY AND WE COULD FIND OUT IF THAT'S THE LOCATION THAT THEY'RE MOVING INTO. YEAH. YEAH SHARE? I DON'T THINK SO. OKAY OKAY. THIS IS A PRIVATE. THAT'S FAIR. THIS IS A HATED GOT A NOSY NEIGHBOR. BUT THIS IS YOU KNOW, WHEN EVERYBODY'S DESIGN GOES UP ON YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND EVERYONE'S LIKE THEY'RE MOVING, WHO'S MOVING IN? YOU KNOW THEY'RE MOVING IT. I THINK THAT IT'S GOING TO BE AMBASSADORS. I BELIEVE HE STEPPED UP AND VOLUNTEER OR THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KNOW WHO'S MOVING IN AND OUT OF ALL THOSE HOUSES NEIGHBORHOOD, RIGHT? I FEEL LIKE THEY CAN PROBABLY DO TO DO THAT PASSENGERS. TO SEE. I WANTED TO PER DEVELOPMENT. YEAH WE'RE STILL GONNA NEED SOME PLACES THAN OTHERS. OBVIOUSLY YEAH. I MEAN, THE LINKS IS A MONSTER OF A DEVELOPMENT, RIGHT? WE'VE GOT TO THINKING I MEAN, AND THAT'S MAYBE A QUESTION FOR YOU ALL IS WHAT IS APPROPRIATE IN TERMS OF LIKE, DO WE HAVE A RATIO OF AMBASSADORS TO POPULATION OR DO WE HAVE UM MAYBE. BASED ON. HOUSEHOLDS OR. WHAT'S THE RIGHT WAY TO QUANTIFY? HOW MANY WE NEED. IT'S GOOD ELIMINATED, ALL LIKE IF HE HAD PEOPLE THAT WANTED TO DO IT. IF THE RESOURCES THE RESOURCES ARE HUGE LIFT BECAUSE THERE'S A TRAINING AND RESOURCES TO GIVE THEM OTHER[01:25:01]
THAN THAT. IT'S REALLY JUST ME AND MINGLE ISN'T COSTS THE CITY MUCH THEN DO WE EVEN NEED TO LIMIT IT LIKE IF PEOPLE IF PEOPLE SAID I WANT TO DO THIS, BECAUSE I WANT TO BE OF SERVICE TO MANY OF DO WE NEED TO PUT A CAP ON? IT MAY NOT. YEAH WE MAY NOT HAVE TO. I MEAN, PROVIDING TRAINING FOR I DO THINK THE CHALLENGE WILL BE MAKING SURE THAT THE AMBASSADORS THAT VOLUNTEER OR FOLLOWING THROUGH AND DOING WHAT THEY'RE DEFINITELY THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO NEED THE STAFF AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE REACHING OUT TO EVERYONE AND MAKING SURE THAT THAT STUFF IS HAPPENING. THE WEBSITE AS WELL, JUST MAKES IT MORE OFFICIAL. SO YOU'RE NOT JUST SAYING, YEAH, I'M GONNA DO THIS AND THEN JUST SPANISH INTO FINISHED PICTURE IS THERE ARE THE AMBASSADOR OUT THERE IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE? THANKS YEAH, BUT I THINK YOU'D BE MOST AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT VOLUNTEER FOR THINGS FOR US, AND THEN JUST GET A LITTLE TOO BUSY.AND SO I GUESS IT'S YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA BE A LITTLE PESSIMISTIC ON THAT FIRST AND SAY, I BET WE WON'T HAVE WAY TOO MANY. BY THE TIME WE'RE DONE ONE STRATEGY THAT I BEEN BRAINSTORMING JUST AND I HAVEN'T DONE A LOT OF IN DEPTH RESEARCH , BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN WEBSITE APPLICATIONS THAT YOU CAN. UM, LIKE INTEGRATE A BACK END SORT OF LOGGING SYSTEM FOR PEOPLE SO SAY EACH AMBASSADOR GETS BLOGGING INTO THIS WEBSITE, AND THEY CAN GET IT AND THEN COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER ON THE BACK SIDE OF THAT KIND OF PROVIDES ANOTHER. ELEMENT OF.
THE AMBASSADORS LIKE ENGAGING EACH OTHER AND HAVING THAT SUPPORT NETWORK AMONG THE AMBASSADORS THAT CAN ENCOURAGE THEM TO SAY. OH, I SEE. THIS PERSON HASN'T LIKE. EITHER COME TO A TRAINING OR GATHERING OR HAS IT BEEN AS COMMUNICATIVE ON THE WEBSITE PLATFORM? UM. OR EVEN IF SOMEONE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD EMAILS THE CITY PROGRAM LEAD AND SAYS. I DON'T.
ACTUALLY I HAVEN'T SEEN OR HEARD FROM MY NEIGHBORHOOD AMBASSADOR AND THEN WE CAN SAY, WELL, MAYBE IT'S TIME TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM. AND MAYBE SOME NEIGHBORHOODS. WE WILL STRUGGLE TO EVEN GET AN AMBASSADOR TO VOLUNTEER. I JUST. I THINK IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AS EASY AS WE THINK IT'S GOING TO BE TO GET PEOPLE WHO REALLY WANT TO DO THIS FOR US. I THINK YOU'LL GET SOME GREAT PEOPLE, BUT I'M NOT SURE YOU KNOW IT'LL BE EASY TO GET ENOUGH PEOPLE THAT REALLY WANT TO DO IT. IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE GET SOMETHING BECAUSE EASY, HMM. REAL AND THAT I THINK, THOUGH, EVEN IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE I THINK THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY LIKE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW LIKE LIKE, WHERE ARE THE COMMUNITIES THAT NEED A LITTLE BIT? STRONGER. WORK AND THEN YOU'RE GOING IN AND LIKE 90 PERSONAL MADE OUT.
IT'S TRUE. IT'S TRUE. WELL ACTUALLY, ACTUALLY, DO THEY THINK WE NEED NEIGHBORHOOD BASED ONES FOR SURE. BUT UM THERE OTHER AMBASSADORS AND MAYBE DR EARLY YOU JUST COMMENTED ON.
MAYBE THERE ARE INVESTORS OR RESOURCES, AT LEAST ON THE WEBSITE FOR AN AFRICAN AMERICAN RESIDENTS MOVING INTO THE COMMUNITY OR HISPANIC REST. YOU KNOW THERE COULD BE I THINK THE GS GEOGRAPHIC BASED IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO CREATE COMMUNITY AND CONNECTIONS AMONG NEIGHBORHOODS. BUT MAYBE THERE IS ANOTHER. ALMOST LIKE A RECENT LIKE A RESOURCE ENERGY. YEAH OKAY, COOL. THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD THINK BIGGER. THE IDEA, RIGHT? CONNECT THEMSELVES AND, YEAH, WITHIN THOSE AMBASSADORS TO BE LIKE THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW. CONNECTED AND ON OUR WAYS YEAH, PRO SOME ORGANIC CONNECTIONS. ABSOLUTELY YEAH. SO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT RENTERS. WILL THERE BE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PEOPLE ALONE OR PEOPLE WHO RENT OR ARE THEY ALL? KIND OF THE SAME. I THINK THE IDEA IS THAT WE SUPPORT EVERYONE. EQUALLY UM IT'S JUST A IT'S JUST A MATTER OF NAVIGATING THE CHALLENGES KNOWING WHEN RENTERS MOVE IN, UM ALTHOUGH YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE WHEN YOU HAVE A MANAGED PROPERTY, LIKE THE APARTMENTS HERE WILL KNOW. UM.
IF IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY HOME THAT'S BEING RENTED. THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CHALLENGING THE NEIGHBORHOOD PERSON CACHES RIGHT, SO YEAH, ABSOLUTELY RENTED OR OWNED OR WHAT? YOU KNOW, LIVING WITH GRANDMA. WHATEVER IT IS, IF YOU'RE A RESIDENT AND OPENING YOUR RESIDENT NEW AREN'T THEY SHOULD BE TREATED THE SAME. SO I THINK ALSO. UM, MAKING SURE THAT.
[01:30:07]
EXPECTATIONS FOR THE AMBASSADORS ARE CLEAR WHEN THEY SIGN UP. UM DO YOU THINK THAT THIS LIST IS INCLUSIVE? DO YOU THINK THAT WE SHOULD ADD THINGS TO THIS? WE CAN MAKE THIS AS LONG. IT CAN BE AN ENTIRE TWO PAGE JOB DESCRIPTION. WHAT DO YOU THINK? I THINK IN THE APPLICATION KIND OF TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE WERE DISCUSSING. I'M NOT 20 MINUTES EARLIER ABOUT THE INTENT LIKE WHERE THIS IS COMING FROM BEING THAT FRONT AND CENTER LIKE ON THE APPLICATION. THIS IS A NEW ALBANY IDEA, UM, PROGRAM. THE GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW IT'S INCLUSIVE AND THAT WE ARE REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS SAYS. YOU KNOW ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE JUST SAID. IF THAT'S THE APPLICATION, AND PEOPLE CAN SAY, OKAY, I CAN DO THAT, OR I THIS IS GOOD FOR ME. AND THEN WE REINFORCED THAT IN THE TRAINING, UM, TALKING ABOUT HOW TO TALK TO PEOPLE WHO , YOU KNOW, MAYBE COME FROM A DIFFERENT BACKGROUND THAN YOU AND MAKING SURE THAT THAT'S A VERY DIRECT PART OF THE TRAINING BECAUSE IT'S A PART OF THE EXPECTATION OF HMM. JUST TALK TO PEOPLE WHO MOVE IN WHO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH. YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, BE COMFORTABLE WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT FAMILY GROUPS, PEOPLE, WHATEVER THAT MOVEMENT, AND I THINK THERE'S GET THAT MESSAGE ACROSS TRAINING TO BE PRESUMABLY , YOU WOULDN'T EVEN APPLY EXACTLY DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. I THINK KIND OF LEARNING THAT UPFRONT IN TERMS OF WHERE ARE YOU APPLYING FOR? WHAT KIND OF TIME BURDEN DO WE THINK THAT MIGHT MEAN? I THINK TO YOUR QUESTION EARLIER ABOUT WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION WILL JUST THE WHOLE WORLD BE ABLE TO CONTACT YOU. OR YOU HAVE SOME SORT OF I THINK ALL THOSE THINGS WILL BE GOOD THINGS. ALL THE PEOPLE DECIDE IF THEY MHM. AND I THINK WE HAVE TO GET A LOT OF THAT FIGURED OUT BEFORE WE START LOOKING FOR AMBASSADORS, YOU KNOW? YEAH. HMM. THEY GET THEY GET A PATCH.THE MAYOR WILL DO AN HONORABLE NO. YEAH AND POSSIBLY, HOPEFULLY THEY WANT TO MAKE THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD BETTER COMMUNITY. WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DO YOU KNOW. WELL, WE'LL RECOGNIZE THEM AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PROGRAMS FOR THEM AND SOCIAL SOCIAL FORUM, RIGHT? YEAH MAYBE AT THE END OF YOUR TERM. I DON'T KNOW. I'M JUST MAKING THIS UP LIKE YOU ARE RECOGNIZED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR YOUR SERVICE. YEAH YEAH, SURE. YEAH SOMETHING SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT I THINK IT'S A GOOD IT'S A GOOD IT'S A GOOD THING TO YEAH. NO, YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU'RE INTERESTED IN INVESTING MORE IN YOUR RIGHT TO DO IT IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD OR WHATEVER THINGS LIKE THAT.
THAT JUST AND THAT REMINDED ME ACTUALLY, ONE OF THE CASE STUDIES HAD A REALLY COOL COMPONENT OF THEIR WEBSITE THAT WAS CALLED AN HONOR ROLL, AND IT WAS LIKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AMBASSADORS. COULD NOMINATE PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITY THAT ARE DOING REALLY COOL THINGS FOR THE COMMUNITY, WHETHER IT BE LIKE VOLUNTEERING OR ORGANIZING SOMETHING, OR EVEN JUST DOING SOMETHING NOTABLE, AND THEN THE MAYOR COULD RECOGNIZE. LIKE ONE OR TWO OR HOWEVER MANY PEOPLE FROM THE HONOR ROLL THAT WOULD BE THAT'D BE COOL. THAT'S JUST LIKE A FUN WAY AND WE CAN INCLUDE IN THAT A WAY TO HONOR THE AMBASSADORS. UM AND MAYBE WE DO SOMETHING LIKE AN AMBASSADOR OF THE MONTH THAT WE FEATURE ON OUR CONNECTION. EMAIL OR, YOU KNOW DIFFERENT GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AMBASSADOR THING. HMM. THE GREAT QUESTION. I LOVE THAT GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AMBASSADOR BEING PART OF THE CITIES. PUSH UP. I LOVE THAT EVEN HAVING A NOBODY WANNA ONE. HAPPY ANOTHER APPIA OR MAYBE FIND A SPONSOR, AND WE BECOME A HAPPY HOUR WHERE WE BRING THE NEIGHBORHOOD AMBASSADORS OUT AND COME MEET YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AMBASSADOR WILL BE HERE FROM 4 TO 7. COOL. THE. BUT I DO. I DO WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE THAT DO IT ARE DOING IT BECAUSE THEY REALLY DO WANT TO BE AN INCLUSIVE PERSON WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY AND NOT, YOU KNOW, NOT THAT WE SHOULDN'T DO THOSE THINGS, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE WEEDING OUT PEOPLE. YOU KNOW THEY'RE THERE FOR THE WRONG REASON AND THAT ARE REALLY THERE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY FEELS INCLUDED. MHM THINK THAT'S YEAH, YEAH. YEAH RIGHT, RIGHT. YEAH WE DON'T JUST NEED SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO KNOW THE GOSSIP NEIGHBORHOOD. GET INVITED FOR COOKIES, YOU KNOW, SO I DO THINK THAT HAS TO BE PART OF THE FILTERING PROCESS.
YEAH, I'M A LITTLE WORRIED IF WE GIVE THEM TOO MUCH SUGGESTIONS ABOUT SOCIALIZING, YOU KNOW, AND THEN DOING THAT SORT OF STUFF UP FRONT, IT MIGHT BECOME. YOU KNOW , I WAS THINKING THAT ALREADY I
[01:35:05]
WAS KIND OF WAITING TO SEE HOW WE COME TO THIS. BUT THERE'S A PART OF ME THAT'S THINKING WE EASE INTO THIS PROGRAM AND THAT INITIALLY AMBASSADORS ARE ABOUT WELCOMING NEW PEOPLE AND LEAVING OUT ALL THAT. PART YOU KNOW, HAVEN'T DOMINOES, GAMES AND ALL THAT. AND THEN IF IT GOES WELL AND WE START TO HAVE A GOOD ESTABLISHMENT OF IT. WELL, THEN YOU GO BACK TO THEM. AND YOU SAY, HEY, WHAT WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT? ADDING THE NEXT PRONGS AND OR MAYBE THEY HAVE ANOTHER AMBASSADOR WORKING WITH THEM, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I'M I AM A LITTLE WORRIED THAT YOUR IF WHAT OUR REAL GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY THAT COMES INTO THIS COMMUNITY FEELS WELCOME IN THIS COMMUNITY. AND THEN THAT'S WHERE WE PROBABLY SHOULD START. YOU KNOW, LET THEM BE THAT AMBASSADOR THAT WE SAID WE WANTED THEM TO BE THINKING ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS, AND I'M LIKE, SO IF THEY'RE GOING DOOR TO DOOR, WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE HAVE AT LEAST TWO AND BACK THE GOLD AMBASSADORS PER NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY SHOULD GO IN PAIRS. MHM AND I THINK WE'LL HAVE TO DO SOME SOME BASIC SAFETY TRAINING FOR THEM. YEAH BEFORE WE DON'T WANT TO ASK PEOPLE TO GO INTO SOMEONE'S HOME THAT THEY DON'T KNOW. UM YOU KNOW THE PORCH CONVERSATION. TIME WE DO IT ALL THE TIME, YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW? YEAH. NO, NO, THIS IS GREAT. I MEAN, AND THAT'S A THAT'S A QUESTION FOR YOU ALL. BUT I THINK AS MUCH AS AS YOU WANT TO STEER THAT, I THINK IT'S EVERY RESIDENCE RIGHT TO SAY. I'M GOOD. THANK YOU. RIGHT YEAH , YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. AND I THINK YOU'LL PROBABLY GET A FEW OF THOSE IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD.JUST DON'T YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO RESPOND. I FEEL LIKE THE SOCIAL SUGGESTIONS ARE MORE OF, UM RESOURCES AND IDEAS TO PROVIDE THE INVESTORS. INSTEAD OF I DON'T THINK ANY OF THIS IS THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS WHAT YOU GUYS SAID ABOUT THE INTENT THAT PROGRAM BUT IF I'M SIGNING UP, I THINK I WANT TO KNOW THAT. BUT ALSO IF I WANT TO DO MORE LIKE, WHAT ELSE COULD I DO AND SO TO ME? IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE TO DO TO EVENTS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS EACH YEAR. IT'S JUST LIKE IF YOU WANT TO, AND YOU'RE NEIGHBORHOOD. SEEMS TO IT IS CONDUCIVE TO THE SORT OF ACTIVITIES HERE'S A BUNCH OF IDEAS SO THEY DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT COME UP WITH IDEAS ON THEIR OWN. I THINK THAT'S MORE TO ME. IT'S THAT'S MORE OF THE RESOURCE. MANAGEMENT THAT WE WOULD PROVIDE THEM. AND YOU KNOW, TO SUPPLEMENT THAT IF THEY DON'T WANT TO PLAN THEIR OWN, THE CITY OF NEW AWFULLY HAS TONS OF EVENTS. SO YOU COULD JUST SAY I'M NOT GOING TO PLAN ANY EVENTS, BUT I WILL, LIKE PUT OUT A BLAST IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD FACEBOOK GROUP OR WHATEVER. HEY LET'S MEET UP AT SUCH AND SUCH TO WALK OVER. IF IT'S WALKING DISTANCE, AND THEN WE CAN STILL BE SOCIAL, BUT IT'S NOT ANY LIFTS THAT THE AMBASSADOR HAS TWO PLANETS EXPECTS GO TOGETHER AND LET'S HANG OUT TOGETHER AT THE JUNETEENTH. WHATEVER. THE NEXT YOU KNOW, FESTIVAL IS LIKE THAT A LOT, ACTUALLY. ANYBODY WANTS TO? WE'RE GOING TO BE AT THIS PLACE AT THIS TIME. BECAUSE REALLY, ISN'T THAT WHY YOU GO TO SOMETHING? BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YEAH. AND IF YOU AND IF YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT DON'T FEEL INCLUDED NOW, IT'S LIKE, OH, IF I GO, THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE AND I'M GOING TO HAVE SOMEBODY TO TALK TO. I LIKE THAT A LOT.
YEAH. EXACTLY. EXACTLY. YEAH. MHM. YEAH I DO. I REALLY I AGREE. THAT WAS GREAT. RIGHT? ANY OTHER THOUGHTS. THIS IS GREAT. WOW. UM. SO I CAN TAKE ALL OF THIS CONVERSATION AND UPDATE THIS AGAIN. AND MAYBE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MEETINGS. WE CAN WE CAN DIVE INTO SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP TONIGHT. UM AND REALLY FINE TUNE SOME OF THESE BEFORE WE TAKE IT TO COUNSEL US WELL, AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A CONCEPT WHEN WE GO TO COUNCIL ABOUT THIS ABOUT WHAT YOU GUYS THINK IN INITIAL INVESTMENT IS YEAH, BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG PART OF IT. IT'S NOT GOING TO BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO DO IT. IT'S
[01:40:03]
GOING TO BE ABOUT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT PRIORITIZING, RIGHT. UM YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW THIS, BUT ABBY JUST GOT HERE. SHE'S SHE'S VERY NEW. AND A BIG PART OF, YOU KNOW, THE JUSTIFICATION FOR BRINGING ABBY HERE WAS TO DO THIS KIND OF PROGRAMMING. SO BUT THAT WAS A BIG INVESTMENT, TOO.RIGHT? SO WE HAVE TO. WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WALK IN SMALLER STEPS AND BE CAREFUL ABOUT IT.
SO I DO. THANK YOU GUYS WILL REALLY HAVE TO HAVE THEM SOME SORT OF MONETARY ESTIMATES BEFORE WE TAKE IT TO COUNSEL. YEAH, I THINK WE HAVE. THE TIMING IS RIGHT. THAT WEIRD WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE TYPES OF ESTIMATES ESTIMATE ON STAFF RESOURCE IS WHAT AN ANNUAL BUDGET MIGHT LOOK LIKE PERFECT CONSENT TO DO THAT, OKAY? BE HELPFUL FOR US TO BE THERE WHENEVER YOU ARE PRESENTED. YEAH IT'S LIKE A KIND OF THINKING. NO NO. YEAH PUBLIC. YOU'RE RIGHT.
