SO OKAY, NO PUBLIC COMMENT. WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED THE JULY [8. Requests: Waiver of Rental Fees] WE'VE APPROVED THE MEETING SCHEDULE. ALL RIGHT SIR, LET'S COME UP [00:05:04] AND GOOD AFTERNOON. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS BRIAN FOUND ON THE COMMISSIONER OF THE LOWCOUNTRY PICKLEBALL LEAGUES. WE'RE A LOCAL PICKLEBALL ADULT RECREATIONAL LEAGUE HERE IN THE LOWCOUNTRY WE COMPRISED THE GEOGRAPHY HILTON HEAD ISLAND AT THE BEAUFORT AND PART OF OUR WITHIN THE LEAGUE IS TO RUN LOCAL CHARITY TOURNAMENT EVENTS WE'VE RUN A COUPLE LAST YEAR AND WE'D LIKE TO RUN AT LEAST TWO EVERY YEAR. OUR ISSUE IS FINDING COURTS AND REAL ESTATE IN ORDER TO FUND THE OPERATE THIS TOURNAMENT. I MET WITH BRANDON A MONTH OR SO AGO AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT USING THE THE NEW PICKLEBALL COURTS ON BURTON ROAD. BURTON COMPLEX EARNED MILES RIGHT AND SO HE PUT ME ON THE THE AGENDA FOR TODAY TO ON BEHALF THE LEAGUE TO HOPEFULLY APPEAL THE THE FEES THAT ARE CHARGED TO RENT THE COURTS. AND THE REASON WE'RE LOOKING TO THOSE FEES IS FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE THE MORE MONEY WE CAN GIVE THE CHARITY THE BETTER OFF THAT CHARITY IS. SO THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TODAY TO HOPEFULLY NEGOTIATE A POSSIBLE REDUCTION IN THOSE COURT RENTAL FEES FOR THOSE TWO DAYS SATURDAY SUNDAY I BELIEVE NOVEMBER 16TH, 17TH THAT WE'D TO HOLD THE CHARITY TOURNAMENT EVENT AT BURTON WELLS. OKAY. IS YOUR IS YOUR ENTITY OF 51C3 ? YES, WE ARE. OKAY. AND WHO ARE YOU RAISING MONEY FOR? WE ARE CAPTAINS COMMITTEE. I HAVEN'T SELECTED THE CHARITY IN THE PAST. WE DID THE LITTLE COUNTRY BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB. WE DID BLUFFTON SELF-HELP. AND THERE ARE OTHER CHARITIES THAT ARE IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE WE'RE TAKING A LOOK AT SO WE HAVEN'T FINALIZED OUR CHARITY YET BECAUSE WE SIMPLY DON'T HAVE TO PLAY. GOTCHA. SO LAST YEAR YOU SAID WE WELL LAST LAST YEAR YOU HAVE A CHARITY. 2023 WE HELD TWO EVENTS. THE FIRST EVENT WAS HELD AT MARGARITAVILLE WE RAISED 70 $500 IN ONE DAY FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB AND THE SECOND EVENT WAS HELD AT PALMETTO BLUFF ON, A TWO DAY EVENT WE RAISED OVER $10,000 FOR BLUFFTON SELF-HELP OKAY. AND IN FOR THESE THESE TWO DAYS, HOW MANY HOURS ARE YOU GOING TO BE USING THE COURTS? HOW MANY COURTS ARE YOU? SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL THE COURTS ON SATURDAY WE'RE LOOKING AT APPROXIMATELY 9 HOURS ON SUNDAY 8 HOURS. SO WE'D LIKE TO GIVE PARTICIPANTS WHO ARE ARRIVING EARLY A CHANCE TO WARM UP A LITTLE BIT AND TRY TO GET A JUMP ON THE SCHEDULE SIMPLY BECAUSE WITH EVERY BASICALLY EVERY SPORTING EVENT YOU ALWAYS WIND UP RUNNING OVER IN 100% OF YOUR OF YOUR PROCEEDS ARE GOING TO CHARITY. WE TAKE ADMINISTRATION FEES OUT BECAUSE IT DOES COST ME MONEY TO TO RUN THESE CHARITIES AND THAT'S ALL VISIBLE'S BECAUSE OF MY 51C3 I'LL GLADLY SUPPLY YOU WITH WHAT OUR EXPENSES ARE AFTER WE DEDUCT OUR EXPENSES THE REMAINING FUNDS DO GO TO THE CHARITY. I DO NOT GET PAID FOR MY TIME IT'S JUST THE EXPENSES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN RUNNING THE THE PARTICULAR EVENTS AND IN COMPARISON. WE JUST KICKED OFF THE WOMEN'S DOUBLES MIXED DOUBLES SEASON AND WE HAVE ABOUT 1100 LADIES PLAYING IN THIS FALL. THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT GOES INTO ORGANIZING AND OPERATING A CHARITY IS TWICE THE AMOUNT FOR ME WITH RESPECT TO SCHEDULING AND COLLECTING PLAYER WAIVERS AND THAT THAT THAT EVERYTHING THAT'S INVOLVED WITH THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF RUNNING THE LEAGUE . OKAY DO WE HAVE AND HAVE WE LOOKED INTO DATES AND WHETHER THESE DATES AND CONFLICTS NO CONFLICT. NO CONFLICTS AT ALL. OKAY. WHAT KIND OF USAGE THEY NORMALLY HAVE ON THOSE DAYS ON THE WEEKENDS WE'RE NOT THERE. ALL WE KNOW UNDER THEIR USAGE YOU KNOW WE CAN WE DO PRETTY REGULARLY BUT AS FAR AS PEAK HOURS I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN SPEAK TO THAT. OKAY. AND MEETING WITH BRANDON, YOU KIND OF SAID THAT IT'S A LIKE A HIDDEN GENE TYPE THING WHERE PEOPLE KIND OF JUST SHOW UP THERE, MAKE MINIMAL RESERVATIONS. IT'S YOU KNOW, ONES AND TWOS WILL SHOW UP AND AND SO AND THE OTHER THING TOO WITH RESPECT TO REGISTRY, I CLEARLY GIVE THE RESIDENTS OF BEAUFORT AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY TO REGISTER FIRST. FOR ME IT'S NOT ABOUT WHO PLAYS, IT'S ABOUT ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE WE GET OUT TO PARTICIPATE. WE CAN GIVE A RESPECTABLE CONTRIBUTION TO THE CHARITY WE ? SURE. DOES ANYBODY HERE HAVE ANY OF IS CHARITY LITTLE PICKLE LOWCOUNTRY PICKLEBALL? YOU KNOW, I JUST KNOW THAT ALL [00:10:01] THE PICKLEBALL COURTS AND A LOT OF THEM ARE BOYS SO WE'RE RELATIVELY NEW TO THE VIEW FOR THE AREA I WOULD SAY WOMEN'S DOUBLES LAST YEAR BEFORE THAT WE HAD MIXED DOUBLES BEGINNING TO 2023 SO OUR SEASON'S RUN MIXED DOUBLES AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY YEAR IN THE SPRING OF EVERY YEAR WE DO MEN'S DOUBLES BEFORE WE HAVE WOMEN'S DOUBLES. SO A LOT OF OUR GROWTH HAS BEEN THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH AND IT'S EXPANDED SO FAR SO BEAUFORT FROM THE FROM THE BOSTON AREA TO NOW HAVE I THINK FOUR COMMUNITIES FROM THE BEAUFORT AREA PARTICIPATING. RIGHT SO BUT BUT TO BE CLEAR ON THIS THIS IS STRICTLY A PHILANTHROPIC EVENT OVER TWO DAYS AND THIS WEEKEND. ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. WHAT WERE THE COSBY DO WE KNOW YEAH. WHAT ARE WHAT ARE OUR COSTS? TRASH REMOVAL OR. IT'S RENTAL THE COURTS. WHAT'S THAT? OH, YOU MEAN WHAT WHAT ARE OUR TYPICAL COSTS FOR THE WELL HOW THAT'S WHAT IT COSTS FOR EIGHT COURTS FOR 17 HOURS I THINK IF I BELIEVE CORRECT IF I RECOLLECT I'M GOING OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD BECAUSE I BROUGHT MY INCORRECT NOTEBOOK IT WAS I THINK IT WAS 1800 TOTAL FOR THE TWO DAYS BETWEEN 1819 HUNDRED CLAIMS ARE IN THE 1840 MILLION BOOKS THAT WAS THANK YOU. WELL YOU KNOW CLEARLY WE WE WE HAVE TO MAKE THINGS AVAILABLE FOR OUR FOR NORMAL PUBLIC PAYERS BUT YOU KNOW THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT IS IF YOU'RE GOING TO GENERATE I MEAN WHAT DO YOU ESTIMATE YOU WOULD GENERATE AT THIS FEE FOR IN THIS USING THIS FACILITY FOR THESE TWO DAYS FOR CHARITY I MEAN WHAT DO YOU. SO LAST SEASON AT PALMETTO BLUFF THEY HAD SIX COURTS OVER TWO DAYS WE HAD 500 AND WE 546 MATCHES. SO WITH EIGHT COURTS AND THAT WAS ROUGHLY $10,000 WE RAISED FOR THEM WITH TWO ADDITIONAL MORE COURTS I'M EXPECTING SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 6 TO 700 MATCHES WITH TWO ADDITIONAL COURTS. AND AGAIN, ALL THIS IS DEPENDENT UPON REGISTRATION. SURE. AND THROUGH THE LEAGUE WE'VE HAD NOW 3000 MEMBERS PARTICIPATE INCLUDING BEAUFORT. SO THAT'LL BE ADVERTISED THROUGHOUT THE LEAGUE AND IF I NEED SO I WOULD ADVERTISE LOCAL PAPERS AS WELL AND THOSE WOULD BE PART OF YOUR COSTS. ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. BUT YOU'RE YOU'RE YOU'RE GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PROBABLY RAISE OR GIVING THIS THIS BOARD AND MAYBE 10,000. ABSOLUTELY. YOU'RE I ANTICIPATE THAT AS BEING THE MINIMUM. YEAH. AND AS OF TODAY WHICH IS SEPTEMBER WHAT DAY IS SEPTEMBER 5TH, RIGHT? YEAH, WE HAVE CLEARLY SAID OVER 60 DAYS OF OF ADVANCE NOTICE THAT FOR THE USE OF THOSE COURTS I DON'T BELIEVE WE PROBABLY HAVE ANY RESERVATIONS FOR THOSE COURTS RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT. AND YOU'VE PROVIDED US WITH AN INSURANCE YOUR INSURANCE CORRAL SO EVERYONE WILL BE INSURED. MM HMM. AND WE ALSO HAVE OUR PARTICIPANTS SIGNING WAIVERS OR WAIVERS? YES. OKAY. YOU KNOW, I PERSONALLY THINK THAT A SELECTIVE SHORT TERM USE FOR TWO DAYS TO RAISE THAT OF MONEY IN OUR COMMUNITY IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. UH, AND I APPLAUD YOU FOR FOR DOING THAT. ASK OUR DIRECTOR OR DIRECTOR IS THERE ANY REASON YOU THINK THAT WE SHOULDN'T DO THIS? OKAY, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION IF I MAY. IF THERE'S A CHARITY IN BEAUFORT THAT YOU FEEL IS WORTHY I HAVE NO ISSUES, NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER IN CONTRIBUTING TO YOUR LOCAL. I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT LOCAL BECAUSE THE LOCAL CHARITIES TEND NOT TO GET THE GOVERNMENT GRANTS THAT LIKE THE UNITED WAY AND ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THAT RECEIVE. SO WE'RE LOOKING TO HELP CLOSE TO AND DON'T REALLY HAVE TO GIVE IT ALL TO ONE CHARITY JUST SO WE CAN. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH, WE CAN DIVIDE IT 50 5025 IT DOESN'T MATTER. IT DOESN'T MATTER ME AT ALL. AS LONG AS WE GET THE MONEY TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MOST IN NEED I WOULD THINK TO THERE WAS SOME ISSUE WHEN WE BUILT THOSE COURTS OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD EVER GET USED BECAUSE OF THEIR LOCATION AND I THINK FOUND CERTAINLY THAT THEY WILL AND I THINK THE FACT TO HAVE THAT MANY PLAYERS COME OUT IN PAID ON OUR FACILITIES MAYBE SOME WHO HAVEN'T DONE THAT BEFORE WOULD BE FANTASTIC EXPOSURE. SO I THINK I THINK IT OPENED MY GET MORE ATTENTION TO THE SPORT. WELL THE SPORT IS GROWING IT'S JUST THAT TO ME, YOU KNOW, I'M INVOLVED LOCALLY WITH PICKLEBALL AND WHEN BY ACCIDENT [00:15:02] I FOUND OUT ABOUT BURTON WELL SO TO ME IT WAS SHOCKING. SO THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. THE PARTICIPANTS IN BEAUFORT WOULD GROW. YEAH. AND THE OTHER THING TOO IS WE'RE WORKING WITH ANOTHER ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND SO IF WE CAN BOOKEND AND PULL EVERYBODY FROM THE BLUFFTON AREA OUT TO BEAUFORT AND BACK OVER TO THE ISLAND. TO ME IT'S A WIN WIN, RIGHT? OF COURSE. NO QUESTION. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR ARE YOU IS THIS YOUR DOING THIS ANNUALLY OR IS IT THAT'S THE GOAL WE'D LIKE TO RUN TO SINGLE EVERY SINGLE YEAR. WELL, IF BURTON WELLS ENTERTAIN US WILL GLADLY COME HERE EVERY SINGLE YEAR AND WE NEVER ASK FOR AND THIS IS NO OFFENSE TO PROOF THAT THE MONEY WAS DONATED. WELL I THINK I'M THINKING YEAH I MEAN THAT MAKES CERTAINLY AND I DO BELIEVE I THINK HE'S OFFERING UP THAT WE CAN SELECT BEFORE SO WHAT I'VE DONE IN THE PAST THE CHARITY THAT WE DONATE TO OR HAVE THEM PARTICIPATE AND SHOW UP ON THE LIST GIVE THEM YOU KNOW THE ADVERTISEMENT CHECK BUT I ALSO HAND THEM A PERSONAL CHECK OR BUSINESS CHECK TO THE CHARITY AND YOU CAN CHECK ON OUR WEB PAGE SEE WHERE I'VE TRIED I'M SURE IF YOU CONTACTED LOWCOUNTRY BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB IN THE BLUFFTON SELF-HELP BILLS I HAVE LETTERS FROM BOTH ORGANIZATIONS SO UNFORTUNATELY LIKE WITH ME THAT APPRECIATIVE OF THE THE CONTRIBUTIONS WERE NOT A FLY BY NIGHT ORGANIZATION LOOKING TO PILFER MONEY FROM PEOPLE IT'S NOT WITH ME IT'S AN AGE THING RIGHT OLDER I GET THE MORE I WANT TO GIVE BACK BECAUSE I SEE THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED CLEARLY IT. YEAH I THINK THE BIGGEST ISSUE FOR US IS I MEAN AS I SAID BEFORE I COMMEND WHAT YOU'RE I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU. THE BIGGEST ISSUE US WHEN WE'VE DONE THIS IN THE PAST AND I THINK WE'VE WE'VE DONATED MAYBE MICHAEL C REILLY FOR A COUPLE DAYS BASEBALL TOURNAMENT BEFORE MONEY WOULD BE RAISED OR FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR WHATEVER ELSE. I THINK THE ISSUE THEN HAS BEEN WHETHER WE WOULD HAVE INCREASED COSTS OF TRASH REMOVAL OR WHATEVER THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY LIGHTS IF YOU NEEDED YOU DON'T NEED LIGHT. I THINK OUR GOAL IS TO BE DONE BY NO LATER THAN 6:00 ON SATURDAY AND 5:00 ON SUNDAY. THAT'S OUR GOAL. YEAH, THAT MIGHT BE TOUGH. WE MIGHT BE CHASING SOME LIGHT . YEAH, BUT WE'RE PRETTY GOOD AT KIND OF GETTING THINGS KEEPING THINGS. WE HAVE A LOT OF GOOD VOLUNTEERS THAT CAN SHUFFLE PEOPLE AND YOU KNOW BECAUSE WE TEND TO KIND OF LOITER AFTER A MATCH, RIGHT? YEAH YOU TIMES UP A FEW NIGHTS MY HOW DO THE LIGHTS WORK OUT THEY'RE JUST AUTOMATIC THEY DON'T TURN THEM OFF AND ON IT'S NOBODY'S THERE SO THEY'RE AUTOMATICALLY GO ON THE FIELD THEY'RE SENT TO WHERE CAN TURN ON YEAH SUNSET AT 10:00 SO THERE'S TWO BUTTONS TO CONTROL FOUR COURTS AND FOUR BOARDS SO YOU HIT THAT BUTTON THEY COME ON. DO YOU NORMALLY? SO WHO TURNS IN ALL OF WHO DOES THAT? THE SO NORMALLY YOU WOULD HAVE THEM ON ANYWAY PROBABLY DURING THAT TIME THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME ON WITH THE SCHEDULE THAT'S WHEN IF YOU IF THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE UTILIZING THE COURTS THEY JUST GO UP TO ONE OF THOSE BUT OKAY SO THAT'S IT FOR SHOWING OFF WHO'S RESPONSIBLE IS MANUALLY SHUTTING THOSE LIGHTS OFF SO THEY'RE NOT ON NECESSARILY FOR EXTRA TIME AND NOTHING I DON'T IF YOU GO AND HIT THE BUTTON AND THEY TURN OKAY YOU HAVE THE SAME THING IN OUR COMMUNITY TO DIAL SWITCH AND PEOPLE ARE FOREVER FORCING THAT DIAL SWITCH AND BREAKING IT BUT YOU CAN TURN IT IF YOU NEED 50 MINUTES YOU CAN TURN IT TO 20 MINUTES OF SHUT OFF 20 MINUTES. I WOULD THINK THIS APPEARED TO BE A A REQUEST COULD HAPPEN MORE OFTEN. WE SHOULD ASK FOR A REPORT BACK SO WE HAVE THAT TO TAKE CONSIDERATION OF AND NEXT TIME THIS GROUP COMES IN YEAH I MEAN WE TYPICALLY DON'T GIVE APPROVAL ON A FORWARD BASIS FOR THINGS SO I THINK THAT'S APPROPRIATE IF YOU WISH TO RECAP AFTER THAT'S WHAT MIGHT BE FANTASTIC I'D GLADLY DO THAT . YEP. ALL RIGHT. AND AGAIN YOU'RE TALKING 500 MATCHES, RIGHT? APPROXIMATELY, YES. YEAH. SO MANY PEOPLE IS THAT MEANS FOUR PEOPLE PER MATCH, RIGHT? CORRECT. SO WE COULD BE UPWARDS OF A THOUSAND PEOPLE AND WHEN YOU'VE DONE THIS IN THE PAST WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ISSUE WITH TRASH AND GATORADE BOTTLES? THE COMMUNITIES HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT AND SO AT THE END AS WELL I TALKED TO BRANDON THIS IS THAT WILL LEAVE THE PROPERTY CLEANER THAN WHEN WE FOUND ABSENT TRASH I MEAN IF THERE'S A TRASH DUMPSTER THERE WILL CLEAN UP DUMP INTO THE DUMPSTER AND YEAH WE RESPECT YOUR PROPERTY. ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE MAY MORE DISCUSSION THEY WILL WANT TO MAKE ERIC I BELIEVE YOU YOU BE IN FAVOR OF THIS? [00:20:02] YES, SIR. OKAY. I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE RENT THEM WAIVE THE RENTAL FEE FOR THIS WAIVER GO FREE FOR TWO DAYS 11 CERTAINLY WASN'T EXPECTING THAT BUT I'D GREATLY APPRECIATE HAVING 16, 11, 17 AND YOU CAN WORK WITH OUR STAFF TERMS BRANDON IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'VE DISCUSSED HERE ANYTHING THEY NEED LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE COMPLIED WITH THE MAJORITY AND THEN WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU BACK AT OUR UH WITH THAT FEAR DECEMBER MEETING OR JEREMY DURING JANUARY MEETING TO GIVE US A RECAP THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC. WHAT'S THE MEETING DATE OF YOUR JANUARY 29TH? DO YOU SIGN IN JANUARY NINTH TO EITHER IT'LL BE RIGHT HERE IN JANUARY. OKAY. I'LL BE HERE AT 237. I I APPRECIATE YOU BEING THE LAST PERSON IN THE ROOM. SO DO WE DO WE HAVE A SECOND SECOND DO WE HAVE THE MOTION COVERED ? WHOEVER'S TAKING THE MINUTES MAKE A MOTION. YEAH. RUN VIDEO FILE IN FAVOR POST WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN OUR COMMUNITY WE APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU COUNCILMAN. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU VERY THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. [9. Department Report ] DEPARTMENT REPORTS. ALL RIGHT. SO JUST BEFORE WE STILL GOT ADULT BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL GOING RIGHT NOW BUT THOSE PLAYOFFS ARE STARTING WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS SO THOSE SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP SOON AND THEN WE'VE GOT BASKETBALL FINISHED UP IN LACROSSE SO I ADDED ONE TODAY SO WE DID A KIND OF TRIAL LACROSSE CAMP THAT WAS HEADED UP BY BROCK HERE. HE WORKED WITH A COUPLE OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY TO GET SOME COACHES OUT THERE. WE BOUGHT SOME REALLY RUDIMENTARY OF STICKS AND BORROWED SOME GOALS FROM DOWN IN BLUFFTON TO TRY AND SEE WHAT INTEREST WE COULD GET FROM STARTING A LACROSSE PROGRAM HERE IN BEAUFORT. IDEALLY WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND GET ONE GOING IN THE SPRING, CORRECT? YES, THE SPRING SO WE'RE GOING TO RUN SOME MORE CLINICS ON A WEEKLY BASIS FOR THIS FALL WITH THOSE SAME PEOPLE THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THAT LACROSSE CAMP OVER THE SUMMER. SO THERE WERE 31 PEOPLE THAT REGISTERED. IT WAS A THREE DAY CAMP AND WENT REALLY WELL, GOT GOOD POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM IT. WHAT WERE THE AGES? IT WAS TYPICALLY IT WAS THE SAME AS WHAT WE WHAT WE USUALLY DO OUR OTHER PROGRAMS I THINK WE WENT A LITTLE BIT HIGHER SO IT WAS WHAT EIGHT, SEVEN, SEVEN SEVEN 5 TO 17 SO YEAH AND WHAT SO IS THE THOUGHT YOU'LL HAVE A LEAGUE OVER HERE OR HAVE A TEAM . YEAH IDEALLY WE'LL PUT A TEAM TOGETHER AND PLAY IN THAT SAME LEAGUE THAT BLUFFTON PLAYS IN WITH LACROSSE AND GIVE THEM ANOTHER LOCATION FOR FOUR GAMES TO BE HOSTED AND YOU KNOW POTENTIALLY EXPAND OUR HORIZONS ON SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE OFFERING. CARLOS, HOW'S HOW'S LACROSSE AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THE LARGE TEAMS OF SOUTH BROAD MI WERE BLOCKED IN HILTON HEAD. I THINK PEOPLE ARE OFFERS NO OTHER BROADCAST ON THE PROGRAM WITH LACROSSE STUDENTS THAT DESIRE TO PARTICIPATE IN LACROSSE WOULD HAVE TO DO A COMBINATION OF SCHOOLS WITH FINE SO AT WORLD RANCH AND BATTLE CREEK IF THEY SO DESIRE TO PARTICIPATE THEN THAT WOULD BE SOME THINGS THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE WITH THE SACRAMENTO HAS WE WITH A COMBINATION OF SCHOOL TO ALLOW THAT TO OCCUR BUT RIGHT NOW OUT OF THE SIX HIGH SCHOOLS WE ONLY HAVE FOUR AND WE DON'T OFFER IT AT ALL ON A MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL. SO DO YOU THINK IN THING NORTH OF THE BROAD WOULD HELP FEEDER INTO THAT POTENTIALLY? IT DEFINITELY WOULD. I THINK THE THE MORE EXPOSURE THE BETTER EXPOSURE NORTH IT'S LIKE I SAID IT IT IS LONG LEGS AND IS OFTEN RUNNING OF THE BORDER. DUKE NEEDS TO GROW MORE THAN GOOD SO HOPEFULLY MY CONNECTION WHERE THEY CAMP IS THAT COED MALE AND FEMALE. YES. YEAH WE OPENED IT ALL ALL AGES, ALL GENDERS. YEAH. AND THEN CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW GOT KICKBALL GOING ON SO THAT SHOULD BE WRAPPING ACTUALLY THAT'S PROBABLY ON ABOUT THE SAME TIMELINE AS ADULT BASEBALL SOFTBALL. KICKBALL MIGHT GO A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND THEN WE GOT ALL OUR YOUTH SPORTS NUMBERS ARE UP EXCEPT FOR CHEER. [00:25:03] ALL THAT REGISTRATION IS CLOSED ,YOU KNOW AS PER USUAL IT'S NOT HUGE NUMBER GROWTH BUT WE'RE GOING UP EVERY SEASON EXCEPT FOR CHEER CHEER I THINK USUALLY UP AND DOWN BETWEEN YEAR TO YEAR. ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SO IN BLUFFTON WE JUST FINISHED UP BASKETBALL AS WELL. WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD SEASON AND I REALLY HAVE ANY ISSUES EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTH. WE JUST FINISHED UP OUR ADULT KICKBALL LAST WEEK AS WELL AS OUR OUTDOOR VOLLEYBALL. BOTH OF THOSE WERE WERE GOOD SEASONS KIND OF WENT AND KICKBALL A LITTLE BIT BUT OBVIOUSLY WENT UP A GOOD PORTION AND VOLLEYBALL. SO RIGHT NOW WE'VE STARTED OUR PRACTICES FOR BASEBALL SOFTBALL FLAG FOOTBALL AND CHEER. EVERYBODY'S GOT THEIR SCHEDULES ,THEIR UNIFORMS ARE COMING IN HOPEFULLY TOMORROW. SO THEY'RE GETTING READY TO ROLL. WE'RE GOING TO START OUR GAME SEPTEMBER 14TH THAT SATURDAY FOR OUR ADULT SPORTS. WE GOT OUR BRONZE COED AND SILVER. ALL THAT REGISTRATION IS CLOSED AS FAR AS THE TEAMS ARE DONE CONSIDERED THE PLAYER REGISTRATION STILL HAS ABOUT TWO AND A HALF THREE WEEKS TO GET GOING. SO OBVIOUSLY THOSE NUMBERS ARE WAY DOWN BUT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO UP. WE HAVE 16 BRONTE BRONZE TEAMS ,FOUR COED, FIVE GOLD AND NINE SILVER. SO AGAIN IT'S ANOTHER HUGE LEAGUE. WE'RE JUST WAITING ON THE PLAYERS TO SIGN UP FOR THE TEAMS. SO SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS FROM A TEAM PERSPECTIVE THE TEAM NUMBERS HAVE STAYED THE SAME OR INCREASE THE TEAM NUMBERS THEMSELVES ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. SO THE WAY IT WORKS IS YOU HAVE TO REGISTER YOUR TEAM AND THAT'S WHERE THE FEE COMES FROM AND. THE TEAMS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PLAYERS TO SIGN UP WHICH IS A FREE REGISTRATION OH OKAY. YEAH SO THEY TYPICALLY SO THE REALITY IS THESE REALLY ARE THESE NUMBERS ARE KIND OF YEAH YEAH THEY'RE JUST A POINT IN TIME YES THEY'RE THE SEASON'S NOT GOING TO START UNTIL THE 23RD SO WE'VE GOT LIKE I SAID ABOUT TWO AND A HALF WEEKS FOR ALL THOSE PLAYERS GET SIGNED UP. SO MAYBE IN THE FUTURE IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO JUST SEE THE NUMBER OF THE TEAMS. OKAY. YEAH, YEAH BECAUSE IT'S JUST A TIMING DIFFERENCE. WHAT ABOUT THE DECREASES IN BASEBALL SOFTBALL AND SOCCER FOR YOUTH THE ATTRIBUTE THAT ANYTHING I THINK A LOT OF THAT IS TRAVEL BALL YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS NOW IN BLUFFTON KIND OF EXPANDING TRAVEL BALL FOR BOTH BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL SO I THINK THAT'S OF IT THE SOCCER I'M NOT REALLY SURE I MEAN 34 THAT'S NOT IT'S NOT REALLY A BIG INCREASE. YOU KNOW SOME OF THOSE KIDS MIGHT HAVE GONE TO FLAG FOOTBALL WHICH IS WHY FLAGS UP SHERMAN BLAZER IS ONLY 34 SO IT'S NOT REALLY THAT BIG OF A BIG OF A DECREASE. OUR SENIOR SOFTBALL ONLY HAD TWO TEAMS SIGN UP SO WE ENDED UP OF THE TEAMS ENDED UP MOVING TO OUR BRONZE DIVISION AND THEN THE OTHER WE ENDED UP HAVING TO GIVE A REFUND BECAUSE WE ONLY HAD THE TWO TEAMS AND THEN THE INDOOR VOLLEYBALL THAT'S GETTING READY TO START THE 14TH I BELIEVE IT'S NOT THE 14TH THE 16TH STARTING THE 16TH WE GOT SIX TEAMS SEVEN TEAMS SIX SIX OR SEVEN TEAMS FOR OUR INDOOR VOLLEYBALL BUT IN GENERAL YOU FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF PARTICIPANTS. OH ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. LIKE I SAID THOSE THAT ADULT SOFTBALL WILL PROBABLY GO OVER WHAT IT WAS LAST YEAR SO. I GUESS I'M JUST WAIT ON. WE KNOW THAT ANY MORE QUESTION ANY QUESTIONS THANK YOU. YEAH WORLD SERIES RECAP AS YOU GUYS KNOW WE HAD THE WORLD SERIES HERE THE 26TH THROUGH THE SCHEDULE THROUGH THE 31ST BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO THE END OF THE GAME ON THE 30TH OR THE 31ST.

THE PUMP THAT WE NORMALLY WE HAD BEFORE THEY NO LONGER MAKE THAT PUMP SO IT HAD TO BE A BRAND NEW PUMP BUILT.
