          [5. DISCUSSION ITEMS]
FIVE. DISCUSSION ITEMS DISCUSS JULY FACILITIES NAMING WORKSHOP AND PUBLIC HEARINGS AND SET DATE. I BELIEVE WE WILL LOOK TO MR. MILLS FOR THIS OR NO. I'M SORRY, NICOLE, FOR THIS PORTION. 
          AND THIS IS TO SET THE NAMING WORKSHOP AND PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR, I BELIEVE, THE BEN GILL FACILITY WE'RE LOOKING TO NAME. SO, YES. SO THIS WILL BE TO SET THE DATE FOR JULY. OUR USUAL MEETING DATE WOULD LAND ON JULY 16TH, WHICH IS A THURSDAY AT 6 P.M. IF THAT STILL WORKS FOR EVERYBODY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. OKAY, SO WE'LL DO THE PUBLIC HEARING AND WORKSHOP FOR JULY 16TH AT 6 P.M. AND THAT'S WHEN WE'LL FINALIZE AND TAKE A VOTE ON NAMING. OKAY, EVERYTHING. AND THAT'S THE INVITATION THE PUBLIC WILL RECEIVE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF. 
          YES. OKAY. YEAH. I DON'T HAVE A CONCERN WITH THAT DATE. IS EVERYONE GOOD ON THAT? GOOD. 
          ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SO MOVING FORWARD TO 5.2, DISCUSS NOTIFICATION LETTER FOR 200 FOOT RADIUS OF BENGAL SOFTBALL FIELDS. I BELIEVE IT WAS ATTACHED TO THE EMAIL SHE SENT. 
          SO THIS IS A. DRAFT OF THE LETTER. I KNOW WE HAVE SENT LETTERS PREVIOUSLY. AND NICOLE I AND MR. MILLS, I DEEPLY APPRECIATE LISTENING TO OUR FEEDBACK ON THOSE LETTERS. SO SHORT OF THE DATES BEING FILLED IN AND I BELIEVE WE JUST REALLY NEED TO DISCUSS THAT, IT IS, IN 
          [00:05:01]
FACT, RAYFORD HARWELL MEMORIAL SOFTBALL COMPLEX IS THE EXACT NAMING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT GOING WITH. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, PERSONALLY, I THINK THE LETTERS ARE VERY WELL WRITTEN, SO I APPRECIATE IT TREMENDOUSLY. SO ANY FEEDBACK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT FOR NICOLE OR MR. MILLS ON THE LETTER? AND JUST TO CONFIRM, RAYFORD HARWELL MEMORIAL SOFTBALL COMPLEX IS THE NAME THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO WORKSHOP ON THE 16TH OF JULY. YES. ALL RIGHT. YEAH. AND SO THIS LETTER, IT WILL GO TO 41 PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THE 200 FOOT RADIUS. AND THIS IS ALL. THE ADDRESSES THAT WILL GO OUT TO. WE WILL COLLECT AND WE WILL PRESENT THEM AT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON JULY 16TH. PERFECT. AND THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE THE SERGEANT BRADY SOCCER COMPLEX LIST, CORRECT? YES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY FEEDBACK, CONCERNS, QUESTIONS. ANYTHING FOR NICOLE. 
          AND I BELIEVE ATTACHED IN THE PACKET IS A MAP THAT SHOWS IN YELLOW THE PROPERTIES THAT WILL RECEIVE COMMUNICATION FOR. OR RECEIVE THE LETTER. IT LOOKS GOOD TO ME. I DON'T UNLESS ANYONE HAS ANY CONCERNS OR ANYTHING. NO. ALL RIGHT. YEAH. THANK YOU MA'AM. ALL RIGHT. 
          MOVING ON TO 5.3. DISCUSS SIGNAGE IDEAS FOR SOFTBALL FIELD COMPLEX AT BEN GILL PARK. 
          OKAY, SO THIS ONE I WANTED TO BRING FORWARD, I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WANTED TO BE UNIFORM WITH THE SAME SIGNAGE THAT WE PUT OUT AT ALL THE OTHER PARKS. IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THE SERGEANT BRADY BERRY SIGN. THEY. I TOOK SOME PICTURES. I WASN'T SURE WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO PUT IT. 
          THERE IS A BUILDING OVER HERE THAT WE DO OWN, SO YOU CAN PUT A SIGN ON THE BUILDING, OR WE CAN PUT SOMETHING RIGHT HERE WHERE THE ENTRANCE IS INTO THE COMPLEX, OR YOU CAN PUT A SIGN IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO, ON THE BACK OF THE BACKSTOPS. BUT I THOUGHT HAVING UNIFORMITY THROUGHOUT THE PARKS WOULD BE NICE. BUT THAT IS UP TO YOU GUYS. AND THOSE ARE JUST THE PICTURES. YES. I THINK FOR ME PERSONALLY, I LIKE THE SIGNS FOR STAFF SERGEANT BRADY AND THE ONES WE'VE DONE THROUGHOUT BREEZY HILL AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND I THINK THE UNIFORMITY WILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK TO THE DIRECTION WE'RE MOVING. I'M ALSO OF THE HUMBLE OPINION THAT I LIKE IT AT THE ENTRYWAY. SIMILAR TO STAFF SERGEANT BRADY'S SIGN. THAT WAY EVERYONE SEES IT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PLAYING ON THIS FIELD. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE CONCESSION STAND. IT IS AT THE ENTRANCE. IT IS THE COMPLEX THAT IS NAMED FOR HIM. HOWEVER, I'M ALSO OPEN TO DISCUSSION WITH THE BOARD IN TERMS OF WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE AND HOW WE'VE SEEN THE OTHER SIGNS INTERPRETIVE, WHICH ALL I'VE RECEIVED IS POSITIVE FEEDBACK. 
          SO IF I'M MISSING SOMETHING, DEFINITELY PLEASE LET ME KNOW. YEAH, I AGREE, I THINK IT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO STAY WITH THE SAME UNIFORMITY OF THE OTHER SIGNS AND AS WELL AS HAVING IT RIGHT AT THE FRONT, MAKING SURE THAT ANYBODY WHO ENTERS THE COMPLEX SEES IT, KNOWS IT, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO A PARTICULAR FIELD TO SEE THE SIGN. SO. AGREED. YES. OKAY. 
          WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE, NICOLE, YOU WERE ON THE 1,000% RIGHT TRACK. SO GREAT JOB. AND I'LL BRING UP A MOCK UP AT THE PUBLIC HEARING. THAT WAY WE CAN ALL SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. 
          PERFECT. ALL RIGHT, SO HEARING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON SIGNAGE IDEAS, WE WILL MOVE TO 
          [6. BUSINESS ITEMS (ACTION ITEMS)]
          [00:10:05]
SECTION SIX BUSINESS ITEMS, DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE ADDITION OF NAMES TO THE NAMES RESERVED LIST. THIS IS A STANDING DISCUSSION ITEM. WE DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE ACTION IF THERE'S NO ACTION TO ADD AND OR REMOVE INDIVIDUALS FROM THIS LIST. SO I KNOW AUTUMN SENT OUT SOME INFORMATION REQUESTED BY THE BOARD. SO I THINK EVERYONE IS IN AGREEANCE THAT WE'RE GOOD THERE. HOWEVER, WE WILL ENTERTAIN MOTIONS TO ADD AND OR REMOVE INDIVIDUALS DEPENDING UPON ANY THOUGHTS WE HAVE ON THE LIST. I'M HAPPY TO KEEP THE LIST AS IS. I DON'T HAVE ANYBODY THAT HAS COME UP IN MY RESEARCH THAT IS A PARTICULARLY, YOU KNOW, STANDOUT PERSON. BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE MAY COME A TIME LATER THAT THERE IS. SO FOR ME PERSONALLY, I'M GOOD TO KEEP IT AS IS. YES, MA'AM. CAN YOU TURN YOUR MIC ON, PLEASE? THANK YOU. MY COMMENT IS THAT JUST REVIEWING THIS LIST, IT LOOKS LIKE THAT THERE ARE NAMES THAT'S BEEN CHOSEN AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE IN THE COMMUNITY. ALSO, THE FACT THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, YOU COULD PUT MY NAME ON THERE. SO WHAT I'M SAYING, IT'S KIND OF LIKE WE PUT IN NAMES ON THERE AND WE'RE NOT REALLY WE DON'T HAVE THAT MANY STREETS TO BE NAMED. 
          IN MY, MY OPINION, WE DON'T HAVE THAT MANY FACILITIES TO. SO I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK DEEPER AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE HAVE CONTRIBUTED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. AND, AND LIKE, HAROLD, LIKE WE JUST DID SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN HERE A LONG TIME AND CONTRIBUTED ONGOING IN THE COMMUNITY, JUST SOMEONE WHO MAYBE DID MAYBE TEN, 20 YEARS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE VERSUS SOMEONE WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED 30, 40 YEARS OF SERVICE. I THINK WE JUST NEED TO MEASURE THAT. WE CAN JUST COME UP WITH NAMES. AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE AS I LOOK AT THIS LIST, YOU KNOW, MOST OF US SERVE ON COMMITTEES, CORRECT? YES, MA'AM. THAT'S MY COMMENT. NO. AND I THINK THAT'S COMPLETELY VALID. IT CAME UP A COUPLE MEETINGS AGO JUST TO KIND OF RECAP. AND I THINK THAT LIST IS GROWING ORGANICALLY AS WE THINK OF INDIVIDUALS. I KNOW AS WE LOOK TOWARDS DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE COMING THE WAY I BELIEVE, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THERE'S 27 PARKS IN TERRA NOVA IF I'M NOT INCORRECT. SO THE FACILITIES ARE COMING, BUT INDIVIDUALS ON THIS LIST REALLY ARE JUST THERE BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR COMMITTEE FEEL THAT THEY AT LEAST DESERVE THAT RECOGNITION. TO BE ON THE RESERVE LIST IS MY UNDERSTANDING. SO, AND I WILL REPEAT WHAT I JUST SAID. YEAH, NO I UNDERSTAND. YEAH. SO ANY OTHER FEEDBACK ON THE LIST. ADD REMOVAL THOUGHTS. ALL RIGHT. WELL HEARING NONE WE WILL CLOSE BUSINESS ITEM 6.1. AND I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN. I MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. ALL RIGHT.
