[00:01:08] Pasco Historical Society. Bob, you're up. [00:01:14] Thank you for the opportunity to give our annual report to you for this past [00:01:24] year and the coming year. I would like to give special thanks to the city staff, [00:01:34] especially Robert Rivera, Barrett Doe, John Bussel with Public Works, and Matt [00:01:40] Rosa with Parks and Aquatic, and Andy Feigert, the Library Director and Chief [00:01:45] Bogart, and you, Mayor and the City Council and City Manager, for helping us [00:01:52] out with our efforts to move forward. We have a lot of things that we've [00:02:04] accomplished over the past year. We've got 40 new displays and we've got [00:02:12] custom front doors made to match the old historical doors that's on the front of [00:02:20] the building. We've completely painted the building and didn't do trim and all [00:02:27] that. We have new signage, the new security system with video inside and [00:02:32] some outside that we've needed. And we've obtained outside storage for [00:02:38] temperature control for the artifacts that we can't really keep in that [00:02:44] building. And we've made a complete renovation of the museum library. And [00:02:51] the city library director has helped us with a lot of those efforts, too. We've [00:02:58] added separate air conditioning to the library to keep that the books and the [00:03:03] newspapers and all that in in good shape. We've upgraded the total electrical [00:03:09] system in the entire building for safer operations and created a visitor center [00:03:14] promoting local businesses. And this is right at the lobby as you come in to the [00:03:20] Historical Society. We've gone around to all the local businesses, or at least [00:03:25] most of the local businesses, all of them that we could find. And we've picked up [00:03:30] their menus and business cards and stuff like that. We're basically doing the [00:03:35] same thing that you would expect that the Chamber of Commerce would do. We have [00:03:43] a lot of people that come in and when they're in they want to know where they [00:03:47] could go eat or where they could go buy a beverage or something like that or [00:03:51] what else to see. And we can help them out with that. So we have a whole area [00:03:56] just dedicated to that. We've had a paid curator and we've increased our [00:04:05] membership, both private and business, and our volunteers. We've increased those [00:04:12] and we have incentives planned for those that have worked with us for over six [00:04:18] years. Our new partnerships are the City of New Port Richey. The departments are [00:04:23] the Library, Public Works, Historical Preservation Board, and the Parks and [00:04:28] Aquatic Center. And we also are working with the Pasco County Commissioners and [00:04:34] New Port Richey Main Street Program, Friends of the Hacienda and Historic [00:04:39] New Port Richey, and Jim Gunderson, the hotelier of the Hacienda Hotel. And we [00:04:44] have a number of business sponsors that's listed in your handout. Our goals [00:04:51] for next year are monthly events for the community to increase traffic to the [00:04:57] museum and educate visitors of local history and businesses. We plan on using [00:05:03] the gazebo as events, at least monthly events, and on the maybe third or fourth [00:05:12] Friday evening. We're still trying to work that around our COVID problems and [00:05:19] stuff like that, but we have a lot of speakers lined up and other music [00:05:25] events and things like that. Low-key music events, I'll say, too. What we would [00:05:32] like to do, too, is replace the court board. The bulletin board that's on the [00:05:36] outside, it's a front entrance with an electronic monitor to advertise the [00:05:40] upcoming events and opportunities at the museum to help the local community [00:05:46] out. And we've already, we already have the equipment to do that and the case to [00:05:54] install the monitor in that's pretty much vandal proof. And the problem [00:06:01] with the court bulletin board is some messages and things show up on there [00:06:05] that's not quite what I don't think we'd all like to see, especially next to [00:06:10] the children's playground. We'd like to remodel the restrooms for handicap [00:06:16] accessibility and remodel the kitchen with a small stove for optimum use [00:06:21] during events. And we would like to offer more incentives for the volunteers. We [00:06:27] would like to have annual award ceremony, free membership, and personalized name [00:06:32] badges and gift shop discounts for our members. And we'd like to update and [00:06:38] enhance our website. And with that, I'll take any questions. One joke from Chopper [00:06:46] is all. I'll start it out, but not with a joke. Is there a coordination between [00:06:56] our billboards and Historical Society in the park? There can be, and we would [00:07:06] like to do that. We still are waiting for the authorization to put [00:07:15] the electronic monitor up in place of the court. No, no, no, I'm not talking about [00:07:20] that. Our ones that we have next to the stage, we list a lot of events in the [00:07:24] city. Is there a possibility of that coordination there? Of course, that's [00:07:31] possible. And Mr. Lankford or anyone from the Historical Society could submit [00:07:39] something in writing to us, and we could program that message onto the [00:07:43] projectable screen. Yeah, because they're up, you know, x amount [00:07:47] hours a day, anyhow, broadcasting things going on in the city. So since you're [00:07:51] right there, you know, I thought that might be a coordination, and in the park. [00:07:55] So, you know, okay, we'll get that. I think Main Street, nod yes or no back there. [00:08:01] Aren't you going to have a Friday night thing going on? Are you looking [00:08:04] towards doing something there? Yeah, I understand that you've been, it's in [00:08:10] discussion now. Yeah, okay, so yeah, but it's something different. So when you're [00:08:16] choosing your Friday night, coordinate with them and maybe it'd be a different [00:08:19] Friday night, or maybe the thing would complement each other. Oh, I think it [00:08:22] would be good to complement each other. I didn't, you know, I, you know, but anyhow, [00:08:26] I know that they're talking about it, so do that. And then, are you back to full [00:08:31] hours that you were before COVID? No, we're back to Friday, Saturday, and [00:08:37] Sunday from 1 till 4. Okay, is that coming? We'll be open more as [00:08:43] soon as everything starts calming down again. Okay, well, I'm sure that what you [00:08:48] know, a lot of your volunteers are elderly, so they're being protective of [00:08:53] their own health, which I understand. Exactly. You know, okay. Most of them are [00:08:57] not as young as me. I don't know, you're pretty old. I was kidding. I know. Just a [00:09:09] comment, Bob, you know, we've had a lot of people this past year, you know, tell us [00:09:15] what they, why they didn't do things and couldn't do things because of COVID. I [00:09:19] know your hours of operation were greatly reduced this past year, but from [00:09:24] your report, it sounds like you used this time to do a lot of enhancements, and [00:09:28] you guys were more busy. So, for that, congratulations. Thank you, and that's [00:09:34] what we've been doing. Correct. Thank you. Thank you very much, Bob. Thank you. If you [00:09:41] want to come see us in six months, we'll be glad to hear again, because I think

[00:09:45] more will open up and more things will be going on as you open up. [00:09:49] I mean, it's not just for us. It's not just for us. It's the public that's [00:09:53] watching this, too. Next, we have a presentation on the Preservation on [00:10:00] Main Street Conference and the final report. Professor Smith will be making the presentation on [00:10:04] behalf of Main Street. Very good. [00:10:10] Hello. Good evening. My name is Melissa Smith. I'm the Executive Director of [00:10:16] Downtown New Port Richey Main Street, Inc., and we held a conference in our lovely [00:10:23] historic downtown July 21st to the 24th this year. This was the first in-person [00:10:32] conference in two years because of, obviously, COVID, and we were chosen to [00:10:38] host it. So, here is the beginning of our... Do I use this? Okay. I don't think I've [00:10:46] ever used a clicker before, so I hope I get it right. So, Preservation on [00:10:52] Main Street, that is our state Main Street. This was the first year, as well, [00:10:57] that they also partnered with the Historical Preservation of Florida Trust. [00:11:03] So, do I hit the green thing? Okay, thank you. I appreciate it. I'm technologically [00:11:18] challenged sometimes. So, as you see, and I love our branding of our Main Street [00:11:24] that you helped us with. This was what we used for the conference. You can go to [00:11:28] the next one. So, all in all, we had so many participating business owners and [00:11:39] officials, as well, including all of you, which was absolutely lovely. We had over [00:11:46] 200 directors, board members, and city officials from the state of Florida that [00:11:50] came down to enjoy our conference. There were, at some point, six classes going on [00:11:57] at the same time at Schwetman Hall. They lasted for about an hour each. We had [00:12:04] numerous, numerous speakers come in, and everybody was just... They couldn't [00:12:09] believe how many classes we had, and they were so wonderful, very informational. We [00:12:15] did hold the opening-closing ceremony at Ritchie Suncoast Theater, which was [00:12:18] lovely, very historic. We were able to, during some of the time down, have people [00:12:26] do meet-and-greets with some of the business owners. The Hacienda was [00:12:31] absolutely generous in holding an opening party for us, although through the heat. [00:12:40] Thank you very much, Chopper Davis, for your help with the tents and the tables [00:12:45] and the chairs. Thank you, Matt Murphy, for having the air conditioners that [00:12:50] were blowing outside. That made a huge difference, and it actually helped to [00:12:53] bring people outside. But the Hacienda had a lovely array of appetizers. They [00:12:59] had some craft beer and different kinds of wines. No matter what the heat, [00:13:04] everybody was just so impressed that we were able to have that at the Hacienda. [00:13:10] Hair of the Dog is actually three people that host this little talk show, and they [00:13:17] were able to have it at the Ritchie Suncoast Theater for an evening, and then [00:13:20] they actually had it for a morning on Zip on Grand, where they served mimosas [00:13:24] and mint lemonade, which was fantastic. We were able to coordinate with our West [00:13:32] Pasco Historical Society to be able to do different walks and boat tours as [00:13:37] well to kind of give the historical background of our lovely town, including [00:13:43] with our ghost investigators. The couple that we use are actually a 501c3. [00:13:51] They raise money for children that have disabilities or cancer or any kind of [00:13:57] disease like that, and they came in and they helped us with the ghost [00:14:01] investigations into some of our really cool buildings. We did have these coffee [00:14:06] clatches. They were over at the Peace Hall. We actually had the Quilting [00:14:10] Society come and do a, it was about 30 minutes, just talk about who they [00:14:16] are, how long they've been making these quilts. They brought so many of their [00:14:20] quilts. They were absolutely lovely, and we really thank them for coming along [00:14:25] for that. Secretary of State Laura Lee came to our town on Thursday, and she [00:14:33] actually had a little bit of a walk with our Vice President Amanda Murphy [00:14:37] and Kathy, who's actually the head of the Main Street for the state, and they went [00:14:44] to different little locations. They went to Lisa's Pieces. They went to the Tea [00:14:49] Room. They went to SIP and just kind of showed how different we are in a lot of [00:14:54] our businesses that we do have downtown, and she was very, very, very impressed. [00:15:00] We were able to have her at the Spartan Manor that evening for our Secretary of State dinner. [00:15:07] She was lovely. [00:15:09] She couldn't have said more great things about our city. [00:15:13] We also were able to utilize and have for the river, we had kayak trips, we had boat [00:15:17] tours. [00:15:18] We were actually able to go to the Meismer's stilt house. [00:15:23] People were able to get off the boat and go in and take a look around, which was something [00:15:27] that no one else can really give, so that was awesome. [00:15:31] We did have a charrette at Frank Starkey's People's Places. [00:15:36] Bob Langford actually helped out with the giving back walk, thank you. [00:15:39] And then Miss Mann's, everybody was floored that the city was able to provide a lunch [00:15:47] for us at Schwetman. [00:15:48] They thought that was just wonderful, so thank you for that. [00:15:52] Next please. [00:15:55] So overall, this is probably our pre-COVID budget. [00:16:00] We were looking at probably about $61,430 after COVID. [00:16:07] We made about half of that due to some people, we were starting to see numbers rise again. [00:16:12] I think some people decided to stay home or not participate, but we still were able to [00:16:17] do $33,475. [00:16:20] Our expenses were actually pretty dead on, which I'm proud of, so that was about $15,813.80. [00:16:29] Our profit, although lower than what we expected, $17,661.20. [00:16:36] We actually were given, Main Street and the Florida Trust also sent us some checks just [00:16:44] to help out with the rental of Schwetman and for some of the dinners and everything. [00:16:49] So it's better looking at about $24,000 that we actually made. [00:16:55] If you can go to the next, thank you. [00:16:58] So this is what everybody pretty much across the board, I even sent out a thank you letter [00:17:03] after and wanted to get the participants' feedback. [00:17:08] And the business owners, Bruce Brothers Beanery was just like, that was the best week we ever [00:17:15] had. [00:17:16] The walkability that we were able to get, bringing everything back from downtown, a [00:17:20] lot of people knew that we had used Bruce Brothers the first day. [00:17:23] They had gone to that establishment after the fact before they went to Schwetman. [00:17:28] About 15% more foot traffic, people were getting people into their businesses. [00:17:35] And throughout the week. [00:17:36] So if we went to, let's say, Kelly's, later that week they actually were like, oh, now [00:17:44] I know, I want to go get some tea from Kelly. [00:17:46] So that was something really big, they saw the same people coming in. [00:17:52] We did have pretty much, I want to say about 50% of the business owners did help with the [00:17:59] conference bag handouts. [00:18:01] Either were doing some kind of discount, they either were giving out something just to kind [00:18:08] of get their, you know, so when people came down, they knew that they could go to Boulevard [00:18:14] Beef and Ale and get 25% off their meal that day. [00:18:19] The hotels around the area, we had about over 300 plus stays at the participating hotels [00:18:24] in the area. [00:18:27] The feedback from the attendees, they loved our walkability. [00:18:31] They loved the park. [00:18:33] They just loved that we were right there on the river, that you could just take a walk. [00:18:37] We have that trail that goes down. [00:18:40] Absolutely loved that. [00:18:41] A lot of people went and did that on their own for their own exercise. [00:18:44] Again, I had said about the variety of the specialty businesses. [00:18:49] They were so excited to see how many volunteers we had. [00:18:54] We actually got that from the state headset. [00:18:57] They've never had a conference where they had so many volunteers. [00:19:00] So that's a big thank you to our residents that live in the area and outside of the area [00:19:06] that love our downtown. [00:19:08] The community involvement, people that were just walking down the street, they felt that [00:19:12] they could just be, say hello, and they would give them information about, oh, you should [00:19:16] go here. [00:19:17] Oh, you should try this. [00:19:18] Again, thank you to our residents for that. [00:19:22] And then all of you, again, your participation and involvement into this whole conference [00:19:28] really made a difference, and they were very, very happy about that. [00:19:34] And then this is just a list of everybody that participated and did something at some [00:19:38] point, even if it was just a flyer. [00:19:42] As you can see right there, there's about 15 places right there. [00:19:45] You can go to the next one. [00:19:49] And again, there's about 15, 18 on there as well. [00:19:55] And again, just couldn't be happier to have a lot of our people come in. [00:20:00] I am going to make a point about Aiden. [00:20:04] He was our musician that we had at the Hacienda Hotel. [00:20:09] He actually was the music director at Ritchie Suncoast Theater, so it was just something [00:20:14] nice to kind of tie him into coming into the Hacienda as well, and he was just so excited [00:20:20] and so happy to perform. [00:20:22] You can go to the next one. [00:20:25] Our sponsors, obviously, you guys, the City of New Port Richey and all the entities that [00:20:29] were involved with that, Amanda Murphy from Raymond James, Ferrell Power, South State [00:20:36] Bank made a generous donation, Master Title Services with Mary, Family Benefit Services, [00:20:42] the Partizanas, and Cody River Brewery did an in-kind donation, and that was fantastic. [00:20:47] So we really want to thank them for helping us make this quite a success. [00:20:52] And again, back to the volunteers, I want to go back to thank them. [00:20:57] They were probably the most important of the whole entire thing because they're the [00:21:01] ones that made the day-to-day operation go smoothly, settled us down when we were pulling [00:21:06] our hair out. [00:21:07] So we had about 20 volunteers each day, sometimes more depending on the situation, and they [00:21:14] just went in and they couldn't have been happier to help us, and I just want to thank the volunteers [00:21:19] again. [00:21:20] That was just really something awesome. [00:21:22] And next, and that's our picture with the Secretary of State, Laura Lee. [00:21:27] I, of course, am the only one not looking at the camera, but I just wanted to show how [00:21:34] wonderful the whole experience was. [00:21:35] So we were very lucky to have this at our city. [00:21:38] Thank you. [00:21:39] Any questions? [00:21:40] I can ramble. [00:21:41] I just can speak for Matt and I, you don't really need to bring us out because it was [00:21:47] sweat equity that we volunteered, and we don't want anybody else to know that. [00:21:52] Okay. [00:21:55] Still thank you. [00:21:56] It was a great program. [00:21:57] I mean, the people were walking the streets and asking questions, and I saw a lot of people [00:22:02] helping with the questions and stuff, and they were eager to go the next day from the [00:22:06] day before, and whatever hour. [00:22:08] They quit one night, they would go back at it early in the next morning. [00:22:11] No, absolutely. [00:22:12] They did. [00:22:13] And it really helped, I think, also to have the historic preservation people here so they [00:22:17] looked at the city a different way. [00:22:18] Absolutely. [00:22:19] I think that was very important with that charrette as well. [00:22:21] It was pretty neat. [00:22:22] So we even had, I even had some of the attendees from some of the areas actually come back [00:22:30] the next weekend because they were tired and they didn't have enough time to do the boating [00:22:34] or do any of the kayaks or anything like that. [00:22:37] So they actually came with their family and brought the rest of their family back to our [00:22:41] city, which I thought was just amazing. [00:22:44] I was getting positive feedback at the Florida League of Cities meeting. [00:22:48] Oh, good. [00:22:50] I just got back from the quarterly Main Street conference in Crystal River, and they're still [00:22:56] talking about us. [00:22:57] They're still saying how great it was and how we're lucky to have the area that we have, [00:23:02] and that they're actually looking at things that we have done to put into their own city. [00:23:08] So we've made quite an impact. [00:23:13] Anybody else have anything? [00:23:14] Pete? [00:23:15] Yeah, sure. [00:23:16] This is really a question relating to your presentation, which is certainly all good [00:23:21] news and it was great and so happy to have the city's involvement in it and all of the [00:23:27] positive feedback. [00:23:30] Before your presentation, we heard from the Historical Society, which was identified as [00:23:35] an annual report. [00:23:37] This is identified as the conference final report. [00:23:39] So my question is really just kind of procedurally to determine, and of course, the Main Street [00:23:47] program focus is really aligned with our CRA and our redevelopment agency. [00:23:52] And so I guess it's really kind of a question, and it's a desire on my part, although I've [00:23:58] only got another quarter or two left in me here, but to try to get sort of quarterly [00:24:04] reports of the activities of your organization as it relates to its downtown efforts. [00:24:12] And I note that Bob Blankford had commented that the Historical Society did something [00:24:20] similar to the Chamber in terms of people coming in, telling them where to go and shop. [00:24:25] So there are lots of opportunities for folks who don't know what to do to come in. [00:24:30] I do notice your documentation in the Chamber building, which is really nice and has to [00:24:38] be updated undoubtedly almost weekly because of the new businesses coming in. [00:24:43] So the Chamber doesn't get the financing that the other two agencies get, which is kind [00:24:49] of similar, but it does get an in-kind sort of discount on the rent, on the location, [00:24:55] and the use of the facility there. [00:24:56] So all three entities are supported by the City. [00:25:01] It's always been my objective, and I think our Council's objective, is that we work closely [00:25:07] with everyone who aligns for the same purpose. [00:25:11] So I would look forward to having sort of maybe quarterly is the word, but when I notice [00:25:16] the annual report notice, when we give an organization that kind of money and they are [00:25:22] that aligned to us, it would be nice to try to figure out how to get those reports. [00:25:30] Maybe it is to the CRA. [00:25:31] I'm not sure at its meetings, but it's my request. [00:25:35] In response to the point raised by Councilman Altman, the Main Street organization does [00:25:41] submit quarterly reports to the staff. [00:25:45] I in turn will pass them on to you so that you can review them as well. [00:25:52] I appreciate that. [00:25:53] I think the point being is that we can't discuss those reports unless we're here together to [00:25:58] discuss them. [00:25:59] And so if my colleagues don't agree, I think it would be nice to just have that brief interaction [00:26:09] occasionally. [00:26:12] I would certainly. [00:26:14] And the other thing, my wife found one of your latest maps. [00:26:18] Oh! [00:26:20] For the benefit of my colleagues, if you could arrange to get the clerk some copies of that [00:26:25] so she can put them in their boxes, that would be great. [00:26:28] Absolutely. [00:26:29] Absolutely. [00:26:30] Thank you. [00:26:31] We can do that. [00:26:32] One of the best compliments I heard, and mostly everything was positive, but the best thing [00:26:36] I heard was that we were a hidden gem here in New Port Richey and that they were coming [00:26:39] back. [00:26:40] So that was the best. [00:26:41] Oh, absolutely. [00:26:42] So thank you to the Board and Chair and everyone who put that on. [00:26:48] I think you can use those billboards, too, if you give the information. [00:26:52] When I heard that, I was like, ding, ding. [00:26:53] So yes, that would be wonderful if we could. [00:26:57] Anybody else? [00:26:58] Go ahead. [00:26:59] I think that's got us. [00:27:00] Thank you very much. [00:27:01] Thank you very much. [00:27:04] Next, I'd like to ask Kevin to join me at the podium.

[00:27:31] Whereas National Drive Electric Week is a nationwide celebration that began 10 years [00:27:36] ago to draw attention to the environmental, economic, and other benefits of plug-in electric [00:27:40] vehicles powered by clean, affordable, domestic energy, and whereas electric vehicles are [00:27:48] fun to drive, are less expensive, and more convenient to fuel than gasoline vehicles, [00:27:53] are better for the environment and reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and whereas [00:27:58] the City of New Port Richey hosted a National Drive Electric Week Tailgate Party in 2019, [00:28:05] this in-person event allowed the City to serve as a focal point for electric vehicles while [00:28:09] demonstrating the City's commitment to cleaner energy and urging residents to adopt sustainable [00:28:14] practices. [00:28:15] The City hosted an online event in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and whereas City [00:28:21] of New Port Richey is excited to host this year's National Drive Electric Week Tailgate [00:28:25] Party on Saturday, October 2nd, that's this Saturday, guys, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. [00:28:34] in Railroad Square. [00:28:35] I take that back, it's a week from Saturday. [00:28:38] Now therefore, I, Rob Marlow, Mayor of the City of New Port Richey, do hereby proclaim [00:28:42] the week of September 25th through October 3rd as National Drive Electric Week in the [00:28:47] City of New Port Richey, encourage all residents to make the pledge to drive electric with [00:28:51] their next vehicle. [00:28:54] As of a few minutes ago, we have 17 cars registered to show up. [00:29:00] Interestingly enough, none of them are Nissan Leafs, and I think I know an organization [00:29:04] that's got several. [00:29:05] We have several planned to be there, Mr. Mayor. [00:29:08] Okay, so they're not registered yet, but probably should be. [00:29:12] It should be a lot of fun. [00:29:13] I actually talked to somebody that has a BMW i3 today and invited them to come to the event [00:29:21] as well, and that's one that's not on the list. [00:29:25] For any of you two-wheel folks, Harley-Davidson Livewire is going to be there. [00:29:31] That's one of the vehicles, so it should be an interesting event with some cars I've never [00:29:36] seen up close. [00:29:38] So Kevin? [00:29:39] I'll just take a real brief minute to introduce the two gentlemen with me. [00:29:47] They are part of the Recreation and Aquatic staff, and they are the ones that are putting [00:29:51] the event together on Saturday. [00:29:53] We have Dimitri Camacho and Zachary Cook, and I just felt it was important I dragged [00:29:58] them out. [00:29:59] They were playing in the gym with kids just a little bit. [00:30:00] a little while ago, so I dragged them down here [00:30:02] to just get some public recognition [00:30:04] because they have put in a number of hours. [00:30:06] I hear them outside my office on the phone [00:30:08] with dealerships all the time [00:30:10] trying to get this event to be something special. [00:30:13] So I really appreciate their efforts [00:30:14] and I wanted to publicly acknowledge that. [00:30:16] So thank you. [00:30:17] About location and time. [00:30:20] As the mayor mentioned, October 2nd, [00:30:22] it is in Railroad Square from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. [00:30:28] And if you haven't called John Gillis at Friendly Kia, do. [00:30:32] He has an electric Kia in stock, [00:30:35] at least the last time I checked. [00:30:38] And that's not one of the ones [00:30:39] we've got registered to show up yet. [00:30:43] Thank you. [00:30:44] Thank you. [00:30:49] Next is Vox Pop.

[00:42:11] Yes, sir, Mr. Mayor. [00:42:12] Mr. Ricky Williams is in attendance this evening [00:42:15] to represent himself as the applicant for this request, [00:42:20] which was reviewed by the city's DRC [00:42:23] at a meeting on July 29th, [00:42:26] at which time they recommended to you [00:42:29] to consider approval of a conditional use [00:42:34] for the purpose of an indoor recreational [00:42:37] axe throwing business at 5761 Nebraska Avenue.

[00:43:10] Second. [00:43:12] Yeah, we talked about it quite a bit, [00:43:14] and I think we had some, [00:43:16] any concerns we had regarding safety of this business [00:43:19] were answered last time, so.

[00:43:30] Just as we've opened up the door on this type of business, [00:43:33] I had someone inquire the other day about a smash room, [00:43:38] so Lord knows what's coming next, but. [00:43:42] I'll vote for this. [00:43:46] I may have to go down there and try this myself, [00:43:48] not that I think I can actually hit the target, [00:43:51] but it's definitely different.

Ms. Manns? I need to correct myself on the last [00:48:31] agenda item. It was actually with the operators of The Social. Thank you. The [00:48:41] one I'm representing to you now is with the owners of Kazoo's Sushi, and it is [00:48:48] under the same terms as outlined to you previously, $31.20 per month, and they [00:48:54] will be another occupant inside the same enclosure.

Yep, share the dumpster. [00:49:16] Mr. Murphy? I just have a question since we've sat and thought about it for a [00:49:21] minute. We have a kind of a walk, Robert, we have some kind of water, something [00:49:29] there, lift. We have a hose pip there at the lift station. Lift station. Is it, [00:49:35] sometimes there's an odor in that area, is that the lift station or is it [00:49:39] possibly the... That's the lift station, and we do have an odor [00:49:43] control unit. I can have the guys go by and make sure it's [00:49:48] operating properly. Okay, yeah, because sometimes, and I've never figured out [00:49:51] exactly which it was, but some people said it was the lift station. [00:49:56] I'm like, really? Okay. Yeah, I would agree. You know, it was recently, I think [00:50:01] this past weekend, same, it was an issue on a Friday evening, and really, is that [00:50:06] dumpster or no? We'll take a look at it. Yeah, I wasn't even sure if it wasn't that [00:50:10] fenced-in area that they have, you know, to the west of their front door. I just [00:50:14] wouldn't, but it seemed like it was more out in the street than it was up next [00:50:17] to the building. Mr. Mayor? Yes. To that point, I believe the city has [00:50:22] invested a lot of money in that odor controlling device on there, so I think [00:50:26] that we've done an awful lot to keep that under as best control as you can. [00:50:33] It is, after all, what it is. I mean, I wouldn't even be sure, I didn't even know they had an odor, much [00:50:41] less the odor control. Yeah, you should have seen it before they put the odor [00:50:46] control. Probably kept the parking lot empty. If there's no further discussion on this, all [00:50:56] those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Opposed, like sign. Motion carries.

He was the applicant for this Music and Art Festival event, [00:51:28] which is slated to occur on October 23rd of 2021. Originally, it was to involve a [00:51:43] four or five bands, three bands. Now they're up to ten bands. It was to be [00:51:49] housed at Ordinance One. It now will spill out into a portion of Railroad Square. It [00:51:59] is, in addition to being a Music and Art Festival, it is a fundraiser for [00:52:05] Mullen's Music and Cindy's Pets. The reason that they presented themselves to [00:52:12] the Cultural Affairs Committee was to provide or to seek some assistance for [00:52:20] funding with putting on the event, and the Cultural Affairs Committee voted to [00:52:29] support the event in the amount of $5,000. The recommendation before you [00:52:37] this evening is to support the event in an amount not to exceed $5,000, and most [00:52:49] of the funding will be used to provide in-kind support that will be required [00:52:58] for them to hold an event of the magnitude that the event is now scaled [00:53:05] to be presented as, and we're recommending that you accept the [00:53:14] Cultural Affairs Committee's recommendation. [00:53:17] Thank you. We'll open it up for public comment. Seeing no one come forward, I'll [00:53:23] bring it back to Council. Move for approval. Second. To the maker. This is [00:53:27] exactly what Railroad Square is all about. To the second. In the event, [00:53:32] obviously it's growing, and that's an awesome thing, so that's great. Mr. Ullman? Happy to [00:53:41] advance our culture. Mr. Peters? I was kind of curious, when this program or [00:53:48] when this event got started in its planning stages, was this just [00:53:53] something the last week, maybe you could hear a little bit more about it? [00:53:57] Yeah, so I was kind of curious, you might explain a little bit more about it, and [00:54:02] maybe when the planning for this event started. We have a record label amongst [00:54:07] three of us, and two of us are, we all grew up here, we all, Middie P. Locke, [00:54:11] golf middle, golf high, and we just put our 80th release last week, and it's all [00:54:19] digital and vinyl, and we wanted to have just three bands in June. Well, everything [00:54:25] with what's going on in the world right now, we couldn't really do that, so we [00:54:31] started to approach businesses to see if we could get some funding, because the [00:54:36] bands we're reaching out to all wanted to play, because they're dying to play, [00:54:41] and it just kind of grew, and all of our bands, we have one coming from New [00:54:45] Orleans, who we're still shocked they're even going to make it now, because they [00:54:50] still don't have power, the three of them, and it just kind of blossomed into, we've [00:54:56] got a lot of support in the area, we got outside the area support as well, with [00:55:01] Cigar City Brewing, and Liquid Death Water, I know that sounds bad, but it's a [00:55:06] it's a environmentally conscious water, it's all aluminum, so it was really [00:55:12] organic, how it happened, and we're hoping with the, to grow it annually, and [00:55:18] hopefully next year get some bands that more than us have heard of, so it should [00:55:27] be a lot of fun, so and you know, it's with this city's cooperation, we're hoping [00:55:33] that we can kind of grow it a little bit next year, and that's if you have any [00:55:37] like, I hope I'm answering your question. Yeah, that's good, and you characterize [00:55:42] the music as? It's, there's punk rock, there's singer-songwriter, like folky, [00:55:48] there's metal, there's just rock, it's kind of across the board. Because it's [00:55:57] coming up here pretty quick, right? Yes, well again, like this, how this kind of [00:56:02] organically bloomed, so we we're gonna have it a lot better, better plan for [00:56:08] next year, so it won't be so quick. You'll be seeing posters here soon around town, [00:56:13] like within the next week, so in all the art that you'll see on the posters, all [00:56:17] original art, which will be auctioned off at the end for the two charities [00:56:21] that we're working with, so we're excited. Could you repeat the date, and because [00:56:29] we do have October 23rd, three or four people watching this, I think, at home, [00:56:33] maybe more. October 23rd, it will be at Ordinance 1. And time? It'll be doors at [00:56:40] 1 and starts at 2, ends at 10. So is there a charge? Yeah, tickets are $20, if you go to [00:56:49] Manufest.com, it's through Eventbrite, so it's very simple, and on our posters [00:56:56] we'll have QR codes, it'll take you right there. So are the bands indoors, or will [00:57:00] it be set up indoors? We have just three, one of the singer, it's a singer-songwriter, [00:57:05] she's inside, and then we have two small bands inside, everything else is outside. [00:57:08] But if need be, we can move everything outside. I was just curious about [00:57:13] how we would, you know, for ticket sales and so forth, how would you control those [00:57:18] crowds in and out of Railroad Square, is the question. Yeah, well, I'll have that fenced off. [00:57:23] Okay. He said they're doing vinyl, so I'm in. Anything else? Wearing vinyl? No, playing vinyl. [00:57:36] 33, yeah, you're old enough to remember those. Our last one is a 45, the one we just put out last week is a 45. [00:57:43] Very good. I have to explain to my grandchildren what those funny little [00:57:47] discs are that I play music on. They're big now, it's huge. Cassettes are coming back now. [00:57:53] We have actually put out a couple cassettes too. We've got, we [00:57:58] actually have a used music store on US 19 that carries thousands of albums of, [00:58:06] you named the genre, they're there. And it's, I could go in there and get lost [00:58:12] for a couple hours. I love that stuff. Very good. Would you care to guess the [00:58:18] number of participants you're expecting to, or attendees? Right now we have it at, [00:58:22] like, we have it at 200 right now. That's, our capacity would be 250, but we want to be [00:58:30] reasonable, not exceed our expectations, so we're hoping for 200. But that's, with [00:58:35] the bands, that would be at 250, so I guess total that would be 300 if we can [00:58:39] went to our max. Thank you. There's no further discussion. All those in favor, [00:58:45] please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, like sign. Motion passes. Now we get to
