I new business um I make a motion to take items e and i out of order commissioner Burns made a motion to take items e and i out of order do I have a second yes I'll second the motion second by commissioner Cecilio item e we have a request from Sandy Dennis and the Maplewood neighborhood association and the Creative Arts Network for permission to make a memorial garden at Melwood Park

um we have the items in there I don't know if anyone has any questions on that there it looks like a there's a small paved area with a bench some hydrangea plants lavender and grass um anybody have anything on that Nancy you have whatever you need um yeah and I will be able to get in touch with Sandy in the group so if there's anything that the board has any

questions on but um it seems to be pretty normal with what the groups have done in the past um when this one to take place when is this taking place I mean we just have to make we have to and

then yeah let us know when you're going to have it and we we'll make sure that you know we can pass the spread the word too thank you um I have a make a motion to accept second or approve I should say approve motion to approve made by commissioner burn second by commissioner rioo all in favor hi I thank you thank you and an item I request from the Garden Club for tree tree planting in

Ruggles Park and Pine Street I don't have any questions I'm assuming it's the trees are approved and they'll work with you Nancy yeah I've spoken to Chris about the tree it was a maple tree and I actually tried at a meeting have conversation with Chris so he's going to check and make sure that it's not an issue and if not then I have no issue with it you have no issue with

the you'll go through that okay thanks Chris anybody else nope um I make a motion to approve pending everyone's good with the tree I second the motion motion to approve uh made by commissioner burn second by commissioner cilio all in favor I motion carries thank you all right thank you guys we're gonna be all alone go have dinner all right back to the top new business item a so request for a pickle

ball tournament at Kennedy Park pickle ball courts and Bay Street on October 18th 19th and 20th with a rain date for the following weekend questions comments um there's also a note in your packet related to the Porta partty I don't know Nancy did he move it is it still down there um they went to they emptied it the person serviced it they didn't move it to the place we discussed but it will be moved

it's it was right at the front entrance it just wasn't very welcoming so I asked they kind of move it over so we probably also um should make sure he knows that it should probably be out of there for uh the end of October with when the parks Clos when did they go in did I miss that it's been had the last tournament and it's stayed is there like a do we have a

timeline it's like hey you have it for your event and then it's got to go or does it not normally the leagues ask if they can put it there for the season it went there and didn't leave but I mean at this point he's got another tournament so might as well keep it through the end of the month but I think that we should probably put them on notice that the park officially closes

to pay for it for November because the end of the month the par closes well I would also say like once this is up it should go cuz right I mean there's no reason to keep it yeah but um I guess they're counting on seeing what happens with the pal thing but regardless of what happens with the pal thing October 31st is when the Nets and everything so I mean if we want to say

October 31 and then you can cross that bridge in the spring again I think it might be a little little bit of a more smooth transition so Nancy mentioned the pal thing so we last month we tabled their um request for the league and the permits that they wanted for the pickle ball league it's the same gentleman that's running this tournament that wants to run the pal League we didn't

get the rosters and the stuff that we needed in time to put it on the agenda this month we got it today or yesterday so I have it we can I can show you we can talk about it at the end a little bit but um I think that was his thought was to put the Portage on he was going to get the league and that was part of

his thinking is kind of what I assume so the port John's been there since the last tournament he's going to move it but we're going to ask him to remove it at the end of October because that's when all the Nets come down in all the city parks for the fall and winter I think my thing is I want to make sure we're following the same protocol that we do for everyone else so if someone

was having a tournament who gets a porter John we wouldn't just like let them leave it there until whenever so that's the thing it's like you have to request permission for it and you have to take it when your tournament is done cuz I just think that that's just leaving correct it's just opening a can of worms like the Box yes but the specific item to address is his tournament on the 18th 19th and 20th

we can just you know yeah you really can't address the other stuff cuz it's not on the agenda so you can address and I to and conv with himo about the we need to have a conversation too about the other stuff that's not on the agenda will be on the agenda for next month um I make a motion to approve I'll second that motion motion to approved made by commissioner burn second by

commissioner cilio all in favor I I Helen you good with it yep all right Item B is a request from the Faller of a cape biran Das Church for an event at Kennedy Park Broadway on September 14th from 2: to 7: nobody here do you have that's all you got from them Nancy was this and have you been in communication with them at all he um you know I did tell him what he was going to

have to do liability insurance you know have to fill out the um Civic events for and he seems to feel that he would be able to complete the this prior to that um September 14th CU that's like two weeks away yes so but you don't have all that stuff as of yet you just have this request that we have here yes correct cuz normally they wouldn't get it until they know they have permission because those the

insurance cost them money whatever but and then we wouldn't have them go around soliciting permission or letting the other departments know something's going on if the board was not going to approve it so so effective tomorrow morning I will respond to him with the board's decision and he'll have the same amount of time as everybody else to get whatever he needs to do before then or

not be able to move forward but he does know he has to get permits though even though if we Grant permission he has to get perance before he goes I had that conversation with him yes cuz you know he may think hey I got permission I'll just do it exactly no I I I have had that conversation about the par fees about other departments possibly having fees I don't know is are you you with

this event I don't know okay um you know other departments having fees and regulations that he h he will have to adhere to health regulations with any kind of food I did say you know the easiest thing to do is if you're going to distribute food it needs to be prepackaged and that would be the easiest thing so so we can get based on the timing of it we could uh entertain a

motion that says pending you know him getting the necessary documents and getting Nancy what she needs he can use the park on the 14th from 2 to 7 yes okay somebody want to make that motion yeah I make the motion that uh we Grant permission for the event contingent on getting the proper documentation and perits for the event second motion made by commissioner cilio second by commissioner Burns all in favor

I um item C is there request from John Bell at Federal Little League to extend their permit to include include fall ball for the 2024 season so I would assume Nancy that he gave you a schedule and whatever he needs for the end of the year it's an abbreviated schedule most pretty much sticks to what he's had only it's a little bit less and um it probably does include extending his

Porta John Amber and when does that R you know he has a league that's different do you know when it runs through um I would say usually it's through Halloween first week of it doesn't go any further than like Veterans Day they all depending on how far they get these tournaments and in these fall ball leagues they end by um Veterans Day anything else no I make a motion to approve second the motion

motion to approve by commissioner Barn Second by commission cilio all in favor I motion carries item D is a request from Mr hacket for permission to have a storage container during the construction project at Father Kelly Park in Globe Street um Nancy and I talked about this we we kind of already said like go ahead Jack so just so the board knows we didn't sell him thanks um

do do what you got to do um my only did we run it by the the construction worker people to like where they should put it well he's putting a up in the back against the mural and I think it's pretty much out of the way okay um he did ask for that um and and I think he's been in communication with them because he was trying to play and we were like

you have to talk to the contractor so he's they're going to probably start next week um so uh he has to have all that stuff out of there by then so I didn't want to wait till now and he only had a couple of days to move it so I'm like if it's out of the way you know with the understanding that if it is in the way you might have to move it to

somewhere else and he was fine with that mhm okay I make a motion to reapprovals by commissioner cilo all in favor hi hi hi motion carries uh skip item e item F that second page in Jack's um I did have a conversation with him he came in to see me and only one page yeah there's only one oh you don't have this page no oh that's that's him too um and I have it

highlighted because he was talking about the scoreboard and this this contractor erecting the scoreboard and I told him that that's not something the city had gone out to bid for we went out to bid for the lighting and not knowing how much it was going to cost if we were going to have any unforeseen costs so that will have to go out for bid as well so I I told them Let's cross one bridge

at a time yeah is that because it's a 400 $1,000 amount was awarded and the the lighting doesn't cost that full amount is that what he's getting at right but the $400,000 amount was for four new polls I think he's getting five or six new polls it did come in at a different amount but you know he in this in this proposal to the CPC he wanted them to put up the net

he wanted them to put and it was all the main project was the lighting and that's what went out to bid first in there so we if there is money left because it is in here and I will speak with to the CPC they may be able to or it may be able to go up to bid and another electrical contractor erect the scoreboard it has nothing to do with the original lighting project these are all

things over and above so I I told Jack these are not because it's a city project these things have to go out for bid it's not just like right it's not like there's extra money and you can it's not like his League yeah there's extra money just spend it however you want the city still has procurement procedures that they have to follow for the extra work that may be able to be

done if we don't have any change orders to you know get to this amount I don't think we'll have $100,000 in change orders but um it's still stuff that he's going to have to wait and make sure the city procures it properly so once and that won't happen until the lighting project is done yes or at least we can see you know it's not going to entail any more funding and then we can

possibly speak to putting out the rest of what he's looking to do okay so I don't think we need to take any action no but that was just in that for the board's um information thank you um to know that a conversation had been had so is out of order yeah we skipped we took E Yeah tou so now we have item f is the request from the mayor's office for

the use of oper Kennedy Park South Main Street for a street canvas event on September 28th from 11:00 a.m. to 1: p.m. I don't have any issues Samantha does a pretty good job sending everything y pretty clear I make a motion to approve second motion to approve made by commissioner burn second by commissioner Cecilio all in favor I I motion carries the next one is the P police and public paloa request from Christian

mclusky and F frpd to have their annual police paloa event at britland Park on Saturday September 21st from 9:00 a.m.

to 11:30 a.m. um this is an annual event so I make a motion to approve motion second motion to approve me by commissioner burn second by commission cilio all in favor I I I motion carries we Consolidated uh item H for the agenda various tree removal requests at the following addresses um and lean on Mr Martin and his expertise at each individual um location I think that the board typically kind of leans

on him if he thinks it should come down yep it'll come down so that's why they're grouped together so I don't know if anybody has anything specific at any of these One locations or if we just want to defer them all um to Mr Martin I he I I think in here most of them I think the only one was darity Street on this list that was just going to be

trimmed back it was still alive the rest of them are all coming down okay so I think just for open meeting purposes I would say their the address and just you know what we're taking it down and then the other one that's being trimmed just for So based on the packet 177 doy Street will come down 179 Wood Street will come down 428 Pleasant Street will come down 188 woodl Street comes down

498 Valentine Street comes down 299 Dy street is going to be trimmed back and cleaned up zero Veil Street will come down and in between 32 and 40 Oakland Street will come down and I guess for open meeting purposes that one is in between my house and my neighbor's house so everyone knows we need just a motion I make a motion to approve motion to approve uh pending Mr Martin's uh expertise made by

commissioner Burns second by commissioner Celio all in favor I I and in your packet is Mr Martin's responses to all of them so you pretty much have the answer already not something we have to wait for and um just for the record again I think one is for a driveway was that the 177 do yes so that one was for a driveway the ones that come down too will you be fixing the sidewalk

associated with how does that get played out dcms the ones that usually do any sidewalk repair unless is a request to plant the tree okay back in okay so as of now these are coming down and then DCM will fix the sidewalk okay all right um and then item J is from the Community Development agency and we got some communication from them where is it on the last page yeah so Mike Dion sent over this the

Community Development agency is in the process of completing their 5-year Consolidated plan um we've seen it on Facebook I've seen it online they're looking for citizen input Park and board input I would assume um anyone's input so I guess I just asked Nancy to put this on the agendas to make sure the board was aware that we should probably fill out the survey that they have online and anything think about you want

specific just send it to me I have to send something back to him by the 12th okay something direct from this request and then there's the general thing online too I think which is separate they have like a survey that I saw question oh that's the O um open space Oh and that's different than that's different than that yeah that's the open space plan that's the planning um Department um has a survey um through

Survey Monkey I think online where they ask specifically for what people would like to see done in Parks so how is that not something that comes to us before that is even put out because if they're planning for something that we will inevitably be responsible for like how does that not come to us first I don't think they're planning for it I think they're taking suggestions at this point with the open

meeting like what would you like to see and then I think they're going to have it looks like from what I read and I saw it quick and I it was posted online and stuff that and I I was confused because I thought they were the same thing but they're not um the it was I think they're going to have some um Community meetings and stuff too to get more public feedback as it results yeah I

think based you can't complete an open um space plan the city's open space plan without having so many public hearings so much public input and you have to prove that you solicited this public input so I think that's what's going on right now more if they let us know like Hey we're going to be doing this so if you see it don't be surprised type of thing no they're not going to do

anything this is just something where they go just gathering information this would be what the request from CDA is you know what would we like to see like it's like what are our current needs and what goals would we like to see so that's why BJ said you know maybe this is something we should put before the board for ex for exactly what you're saying what would we like to see what

would you as a board like to see happen and so now there's opportunity a lot of the themes that we've had in the last few months like a lot of the stuff has been reactionary and I think it gives this board a little bit more um I don't want to say credibility but it gives us a little bit more um juice behind our request to say okay you know Mr Dion and

and CDA is asking us what do you guys want for the next five years so let's maybe think about it in the next week and we can send him an email on some of that stuff um that we think he should inle like the complete redo of our soccer field including lighting or whatever those are the kind of things that might on and that kind of funding would be able to do the complete

Rehabilitation they can't do individual like fixing of slides or whatever but they can completely refer you know we and if we put it in writing and put it there maybe there's a you know kind of a pecking order of or at least we know how things get prioritized and what may or may not qualify to get you know funding and get done so this email came in and I just thought it was would worthwhile to

have I don't think there's any real action to take but I think that following the meeting we should probably submit something to him and then at the next meeting we can talk about what he sent in okay um yeah I mean yes we'll do it we'll just place it on file so I would place it on file and in the meantime the board can you know email me anything that they want to see I'll compile it

and send you know send it as a package okay to Mike um I make a request to place in file second the request motion made place on file by commissioner Baron second by commissioner Cecilio all in favor I any inquiries or anything that's not on the agenda that we could maybe touch on I do have one question so the $700,000 that was approved by the city council for the skate park and Lafayette

that has been now removed what happens to that money like is that something that would po potentially come to us to be able to fix things cuz obviously like we know that that was I don't know that it's been I've never received notice that we got it and I've never received notice that it's not happening that's been kind of a rumor I was going to say it was on the city council meeting I

want to say like two or three weeks ago that they did like resend their approval but I don't know like what happens with that money now cuz obviously we have a lot of parks that are the I guess missing items the letter asking if it's still going to be assigned to parks or if it will be reappropriated well how it was it was AR they say it was arpa money that they

were using for the skate par yeah it was so when they did that at the council meeting did they say they res sending it and it's going to be reappropriated to something El they didn't say they were just like motion to to remove approval of that motion and they all approved it but I like I said I don't know what happens to that M cuz that's I think we could probably fix a majority of the

issues we're having like when it comes to like the playgrounds that are missing equipment or things we had to take down cuz they were too old or not safe and we just never got to put anything back I don't know the what how that qual fing yeah I don't know what the funding if there's certain stipulations but if they were going to take out the skate park and put a new one I would think that

maybe we could figure out some way to use it um I wouldn't want them to like take it away from Parks and then now throw it to building no offense to building but uh but you know but yeah if we can if we can I can send her an email and ask her if she has any information that she can send me that I could to the board at the next meeting okay that's all I

had you got anything Helen I already said what I had to say no to us but all right well I guess the only other thing um that we got in this came in today or yesterday was the pickle ball program roster so last month we tabled the league and their permits we got the rosters in today but it was too late to put it on the agenda but I asked

Nancy to just print it um and bring it um I think there's a couple things that we'll probably consider and go back to um Mr Cullen in the pal when I looked at it quick I know you guys haven't seen it but um my issue is it's not really even close to 5050 as far as Fall River residents versus people outside of Fall River so I don't want to set a precedent

I mean the beginner division you got three out of 10 from Fall River the intermediate division is nine out of 20 from Fall River um and then the advanced division is five out of 11 from Fall River so we ask all the leagues to give us this information so I think between now and our next meeting when we can put this on the agenda we'll talk to Mr Colin see you know what they think um

but I just wanted everyone to know we got this in yesterday the agenda had already been posted so it didn't make it on for this this month for the league um so just for what that's worth and then the other item that also I didn't think it was worthwhile put on the agenda but just so everyone knows as a followup from what had happened down at Bicentennial Park I think it was Fourth

of July with the sod there's now some questions in regards to the cameras that are there and who's responsible for paying and servicing and doing and whatever so Nancy had sent over that back in April the city council had accepted this donation of the cameras and the question now that Nancy has been kind of working through with the veterans committee and the mayor's office um is who's paying cuz what is it like

about 5,000 accepted it you know are we we accept it we're most likely responsible to fix it but one camera we've been told is $5,000 so if this is going to be who's we the city of fall I'm just like so here so the city council accepted the donation from the veterans committee so now it becomes City proper so now these are City cameras as of effective of this correct

we had no idea until we went to this meeting and were presented with this document so right now they're supposed to um the gentleman from uh Joe Marshall from the wall committee he's supposed to be getting us the information specifications on these cameras so that if things do need to be replaced we know what they are and how and then it came up that one camera is not working and has had issues so they're looking for

the replacement of that camera and they're going to send a proposal who's they sorry the wall committee okay um is going to send a proposal to uh myself and Mr alera I'm assuming both of us will get it so that we'll know what we're looking at as far as expenses and you know and who fixes the sad the sod's taken care of the mayor's office worked with them and that's they

so I guess this is my only issue with this and I feel like this is like a reoccurring theme the city council will approve something that inevitably comes to us but then we don't get additional funding to handle any of the things that they're giving us like I don't understand how like if they want to accept it great but then it should be on the mayor's office or someone I agree that's is it additional appropriation

for the maintenance them I agree the maintenance and repair so that's and I think that's kind of what they're working information is coming in now but I I just wanted the board to know that with this whole thing with the cameras and who's looking at the cameras and who's paying for it it was accepted by the city council so yes it become so we'll into property so we're in the process of trying to gather all that

information but just a heads up of if it does come up yes we City not the parks the city does own those cameras so there's nothing worse when somebody asks you something about a park that's going on and you don't know so that's really the reason why but had nany SLI this in at the end just because there's no item there's no action to take there's nothing that the board can really do at

this point it's just a followup from you know what had happened when the May on a future agenda for action of the board but right now and somebody says something to you this is where it's at this is what they're working through like it's a little bit of a miscommunication I would assume that probably moving forward I don't know how to create that me mean ISM but if there is something that's accepted as a

donation that impacts the parks we probably should know like hey you know the the the veterans committee donated the cameras to the city they're now your you guys got to deal with them type of thing we didn't know that until all this happened the letter went back to Mr Marshall but it didn't come to any of us so we we really didn't know that they were accepted by the city so with that

being said we'll we'll see what kind of information we get back in and then I will give that and present that to the board and then the board can take whatever action or ask for an appropriation or do whatever they want to do to and then the other piece of that is the the landscape of that area they're still handling that right but they donated the cameras so the veteran the wall

committee still has their own land Comm certain areas of the handles that areir that's where it gets a little confusing too we did go out I got get a call and um I had the guy the pot guys go out if you know we don't have to bother the tree guys and we could reach the limbs and we could we trimmed away some of the limbs that were blocking some of the cameras we've

already done that for um for them um so those cameras that now in view um some of them that were obstructed by branches so at this point that's been done but were he matter of fact Bruce Aldridge called me yesterday or maybe today I don't remember yesterday today and asked if I had received anything yet and I told him I did not and he said he would follow up with the wall committee so

okay and then is there something to on this Das of river what is what is the date that's just until October 14th yes I just wanted the board to know because if there's that's something that happens every year um you cannot vote on it I received it today um when I went and pick up some mail and it's not on the agenda but it's a yearly occurrence but you will be able

to vote on it prior to they just use the Park Drive for their event but just so you know it's in case they have any communication with me beforehand so not like the after the fact vote I just it's something that it's an annual event so we can kind of tell them I think what ny's getting at is Nancy will probably tell them that unless you're doing something out of the

ordinary I don't think the board will have a problem with it but the official vote will not come until the first Wednesday in October so that will get scanmed in with the packet too okay um Mr Alvar you want to come down do you have something I do um few U few meetings ago uh Mr M had requested that a um an organization uh Department of uh Recreation uh Julie Cooper was looking

to do a tour of the trees for Riders um that was September 27th around 2:00 what they want to do is they want to ride their bikes up be able to plant the tree and then leave and where the board can vote on it though if it's not on the agenda but it was in agenda a couple weeks ago right yeah should have I thought it was supposed to I was thought

it was supposed to be on last month that got cancelled okay I don't know where that I I mean if it's if it's something that's not going to require a lot of whatever it doesn't even sound like a permit right they're they want to PL a Connecticut and they drive all the way through they stop they have certain stops that they take they go bicycle all the way to like Fair Haven so we're just

a stop along the way yeah stop they want to stop at Lafayette on their way through plant a tree that's going to be donated from Julie coup from DCR oh I think that was last month it was I think there was and I think we already approved it didn't we is that in the I don't know I don't know I do remember a conversation about it it's minimal no it's minimal it's just a drop

yeah I don't think it's any you won't just get a they can't take an official vote because it wasn't on this agenda right but setember 27th is when they're planning to do that and if you if you don't think I was going to say we would still have enough time wait what's today never mind I thought we were in August my bad proced they can just work Chris and I can work that out and it

doesn't we won't I mean have an official vote it may be something that we addressed even a couple of meetings ago but I do recall we had talked about it and I I did you not have the in all the information or something I thought it was going to come I thought it was actually going to come up at last meeting but then we didn't have last canell so I think that's what happened

it got lost in the shuffle got it y I don't think it's anything if they're just going to um and I think the tree Department can probably right right they're going to supply the tree and all that as a and I'll just go there and make sure the hole's good and they'll just they're going to plant it by hand I remember this conversation taking place yeah so it just won't get an you know we

can probably just acknowledge it and approve it it'll it will be after the fact I guess but for the next meeting but as long as nobody has an objection to it now no um I guess what we'll do is just I mean the send it to n be in the pocket as long as nany's okay yeah well I think you and I will be able to coordinate with them because this was

kind of just like a drive-thru and drop the tree and plant the tree I remember this conversation so yeah I think Chris and I can coordinate that without a vote of the board that's a simple yeah um it's not anything that requires any kind of crazy permitting or whatever so I think that we'll coordinate with each other and yes okay very good okay okay and I'm gonna I'm check the I can check

the other agendas because we I think we may have voted on this a couple of okay yeah let's talk about that other thing too because you caught me last week and I'm like I talked to n I was remind me of that to me put that in the agenda but uh I did put an application with CPC for renovation of the restrooms at Kennedy Park and for the walkways uh that was

for the mayor's request they the applications are going to be vetted um and that's I will give you a full package of what it's going to be like but right now I needed to submit a request for the applications and um I'll let you folks Mr ala called and asked and they said yeah this is the upper one right the big the upper one like where the feast is restrooms those roads are

in rough condition it's just it needs to be done um I had a I I had a chance to review the history of of that and it's phenomenal um used to be tiot in Rhode Island at one point and um so yes I'll share the entire package with you the initial initial cost for the building the first phase is 700,000 the second one we're requesting is 100,000 for the was CPC has that money so it's an

application y so we we w't have anything approved yet we uh but I'm going to need at some point a letter to move forward to the next stage um what we're going to be trying to get funds for so what's the plan for the bathrooms if this does get approved so so the plans that we had in our architect T2 take a peek at the uh feasibility and the feasibility is

probably a $2 million project uh because of the type of building that you're dealing you're dealing with a historic building you're dealing with some access issues and right now the building was initially built in the 1870s as an all male restroom mhm locker rooms I mean when they built it they built it beautiful gred stone all over the place locker rooms we're going to actually convert that into a male and female um

at that point so okay so sorry I think I I'm didn't ask the right question what is the plan if this gets approved and the bathrooms are there who's going to man it is that something that we can request that we get additional if it ends up being on the park we get additional funding to man if we need to have somebody go there and unlock it and if there's any additional funding that

ends up being put on or U expense that ends up putting on the Park Board I just want to make sure our Park Department that it it's someone is thinking of it so I have I have I have figured that out I do have an automated type assistant that I'm working through right now okay and um it's going to be state-of-the-art and we're going to have it fully secured and um I will have that information to

you shortly okay so I've been doing a lot of homework on that what's the timeline like when do you need a letter like how does that work probably next next meeting we should we should be able to vote on that at that point but so you'll have some stuff maybe that we could put on the agenda for next meeting and then we could take an action on it so we had had an initial conversation

last week and I said it was after I had created the agenda so I just said we'll talk about it at the meeting and then we can figure it out from there are the same timelines um November for submitt is that what it is with CPC November for submitt yeah so definitely have enough time after the next meeting when he presents we'll put that on the agenda whatever he gets the letter all the the

CPC is asking is that the board has no problem with us moving forward with this but the city is requesting it so I would think like you said you can put in whatever you want to the mayor's letter but at this letter is just simply that they have no problem with this moving forward in them requesting the funds and then I think January 15th that they look at them all and decide but definitely by

November 15th he would need okay that letter so I mean if it was anything that was pertinent in major action we would have been here in advance to that but right now just put it in just to ear Mark some monies we don't even know if we're going to get anything at all but the goal was to make sure that we had a placeholder for the funds and um we're very excited about that it's it's going

to be pretty detailed what they're going to do with that stone and um it's going to look fabulous okay cool all right anybody else I have a motion to adjourn motion to adjourn second motion to adjourn made by commissioner rioo second by commissioner Burns all in favor I thank
