THEY STARTED AROUND EIGHT IN THE MORNING AND ENDED THEIR DAY AROUND 2:30 P.M. THEY WERE ABLE TO LEAVE ONE COURT OPEN FOR ANYONE THAT CAME UP TO FOR FREE PLAY. THEY DID HAVE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE PLAY ON THAT COURT DURING THE TOURNAMENT AND THEN STAYED TO WATCH THEIR TOURNAMENT AFTER SO THEY WERE GLAD THEY HAD SOME PARTICIPATION FROM THE PUBLIC THERE AND THEY APPRECIATE ALL OF US ALLOWING THEM TO USE OUR FACILITY AT BURTON WELLS FOR THEIR TOURNAMENT RIGHT.

[9. Department Report]
YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.DEPARTMENT REPORTS EVERY OH EVERYONE. WE HAVE A CHECK INS FOR ALL THREE MAJOR REC CENTERS LIKE BUCK WALTER IS GOING TO BE A 4000 PER MONTH CENTER.
WE ONLY WERE CLOSED ONE DAY FOR ME I'M SORRY. YES, ONE DAY IN MAY AND ONE DAY IN JUNE BECAUSE WE HAVE ONE. WHY WHY WOULD WHY WOULD JUNE DOWN AT BURTON WELLS? PROBABLY BECAUSE THE BASKETBALL TEAM WAS CLOSED MOST OF THE DAY FOR SUMMER WE HAVE THE ONE OH OKAY. SO SO THIS IS HAPPENING AND THAT'S WHY IT'S ONE JIM SO OKAY SO YOU JUST DON'T HAVE AS MUCH FREE AND SO YOU'RE LIMITED TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE CAMP, RIGHT? SO THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE COMING IN PLAY RACQUETBALL, USE THE WAY PEOPLE WHO ARE IN MY EVERYONE WHO COMES FOR BASKETBALL ALL OKAY SO HOW DO WE I MEAN YOU'RE SAYING WHEN THEY JUST DON'T HIT A CLICKER THEY WALK THROUGH OR BUT I THINK WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT SOME TRAFFIC COUNTERS SO WE'RE PLANNING ON PUTTING THAT UP RIGHT GOTCHA. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
YEAH. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY KIDS WALK IN, WALK OUT, WALK BACK IN, YOU KNOW I MEAN IS THERE YEAH. AN INEXACT SCIENCE, RIGHT? OKAY.
ALL RIGHT. UM, YEAH. SO JUST IN GENERAL I'M SURPRISED THAT BURTON WELLS IS GOING DOWN THOUGH. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, UH, ACTUALLY MAY IS HIGHER THAN THE TWO PREVIOUS MONTHS I BELIEVE. SO YOU THINK LIKE BROCK SAID, BRINGING IN THE SUMMER CAMPS AND EVERYTHING OVER THERE PROBABLY AFFECTED THAT NUMBER A LOT? YEAH, NO, I'M JUST I'M JUST KIND I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING WHAT I'M LOOKING AT ON THE RIGHT. IT SAYS CHARLES LIND BROWN MAY 20, 25TH JUNE 2025 AND RIGHT BELOW IT IT SAYS THAT'S ME BECAUSE AT THE LAST ONE I HAD IN THE BOTTOM SECTIONS OF THE VIEWS ANOTHER THE BOTTOM RIGHT IS LAST IS 2024 OH OKAY.
EVEN THOUGH THAT ONE SAYS 2025 I SEE. OKAY SO ALL RIGHT.
BUT IN GENERAL FOR THE MOST PART THE FACILITIES BEING UTILIZED TO SUMMARIZE YEAR TO YEAR AT THE SAME LEVEL IF NOT GREATER AND SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER AND BUCKWALTER WOULD
[00:10:08]
THAT BE CORRECT I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. YES.OKAY THIS. IS JUST INFORMATION ON SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF WHAT HAS GONE ON AT THE REC CENTERS THAT DON'T FALL INTO PROGRAMING OR ATHLETICS JUST SO WE CAN SEE SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT DO AT THE CENTERS. I THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF NEAT HARBOR FREIGHT FREIGHT WAS DOING ONE OF THEIR HIRING EVENTS HERE AT BUCK WALTER SO IN DO THEY RENT THAT FACILITY THAT CORRECT. SO WE GET SOME INCOME FROM THAT? YES WE HAD H-2A MEETINGS AND BIRTHDAY PARTIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT IN THE CLASSROOMS AT BURTON MILES AND BACKWATER AND ONE OR TWO AT LIND BROWN GOOD.
ANY QUESTIONS? MAYBE SHANE ADDED SOMETHING CONFUSING THIS SLIDE WELL THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT SO WE'LL START WITH B FOR ATHLETICS AND THEN BLUFFTON WILL BE NEXT. SO FOR B FOR RIGHT NOW AS FAR AS U SPORTS GOES, OUR MAIN FOCUS OVER THE SUMMER IS OUR BASKETBALL. SO OUR NUMBERS WERE DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT FOR SUMMER BASKETBALL THIS YEAR. WE HAVE TO GO TO A LOT OF LEAGUES PLAY IN THREE ON THREE DEPENDING ON NUMBERS AND DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS DURING THE SUMMER AND THEN THAT NUMBER MORE THAN DOUBLES DURING THE WINTER SEASON.
SO THE SUMMER BASKETBALL IS MORE OF OUR DEVELOPMENTAL SEASON AND THEN THE WINTER COMPETITIVE AS FAR AS ADULT SPORTS THAT HAVE RIGHT NOW IN THE SUMMER OUR COED SOFTBALL IS A COUPLE OF WEEKS INTO THEIR SEASON. WE HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF TEAMS AS WE DID LAST YEAR FOR THAT OUR ADULT COED BASEBALL WAS UP NEARLY 30 PARTICIPANTS. WE ADDED A TEAM SO WE'RE AT TEAMS FOR ADULT BASEBALL AS WELL AND OUR KICKBALL PROGRAM THOSE NUMBERS HAVE GONE UP SOME SINCE SLIDE WAS MADE.
OUR REGISTRATION FOR KICKBALL FOR ADULTS ENDS TOMORROW AND WE'LL PROBABLY BE LOOKING AT HAVING 4 TO 5 TEAMS WHICH IS RIGHT ON PAR WITH WHERE BEEN FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF SEASONS THERE AS WELL RIGHT. QUESTIONS UPCOMING FALL SPORTS .
AS YOU KNOW WE HAVE A PRETTY HEAVY LOAD OF YOUTH PROGRAMING IN THE FALL.
SO FOR YOUTH PROGRAMING WE DO BASEBALL, SOCCER, FLAG FOOTBALL AND CHEER ALL IN THE FALL AND WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER FALL BASEBALL FOR ADULTS AS WELL. SO THE OUR NUMBER FOR YEAR FOUR FOLLOWED UP BASEBALL WAS 68 PLAYING ON THAT NUMBER BEING A LITTLE HIGHER THIS SEASON WILL BEGIN REGISTRATION FOR THAT ON SEPTEMBER 1ST AND AS YOU CAN SEE OUR NUMBERS FOR FALL YOUTH SPORTS RIGHT NOW THEY'RE ALL DOWN BUT STILL HAVE ANOTHER WEEK PLUS OF REGULAR REGISTRATION AND THEN A WEEK OF LATE REGISTRATION AFTER THAT.
SO AFTER SPEAKING WITH JEREMY, NUMBERS ARE ON PAR OR BETTER THAN WHAT THEY'VE BEEN OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS WHERE WE ARE IN REGISTRATION RIGHT NOW. WHAT PERCENTAGES OF REGISTRY INCOME IN THE LAST WEEK IN THE IN THE LATE SO WE WERE WE WERE JUST LOOKING AT THAT THE OTHER DAY JEREMY'S UP IT'S ABOUT 30% THAT COME IN THE LAST WEEK WE EVEN LOOKED AT WE NARROWED IT DOWN AS FAR AS THE LAST DAY WE LOOKED AT IT EARLIER AND IT'S NEARLY A QUARTER OF EVERYTHING FOR SOME SPORTS COMES IN ON THAT FINAL DAY OF REGISTRATION AND IN LATE REGISTRATION PAY WHAT A $10 PENALTY OR SOMETHING? IT'S AN ADDITIONAL 20.
SO THE REGISTRATION FEE GOES FROM 70 TO $90 FOR MOST SPORTS FOR THE LATE.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. I'LL PASS IT OFF TO EVAN FOR BLUFFTON. THE ADULT SPORTS WE GOT GOING ON RIGHT NOW IS JUST OUR SOFTBALL PROGRAM WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO FINISH OUR BRONZE AND COED WE ARE GOING TO FINISH OUR SILVER I'M SORRY OUR GOLD LAST NIGHT BUT THAT GOT RAINED OUT SO WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FINISH THAT ONE AND THEN YOU CAN HEAR WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO GET RAINED OUT AGAIN TONIGHT SO THE SILVER WILL PROBABLY BE PUSHED BACK AGAIN TO NEXT WEEK. SO HOPEFULLY YOU CAN FINISH UP OUR ADULT SOFTBALL NEXT THURSDAY WITH BASKETBALL WHERE WE'VE BEEN PLAYING.
WE'RE IN OUR THIRD WEEK NOW. YOU CAN SEE OUR NUMBERS ARE DOWN A LITTLE BIT BUT FAR THE PROGRAM IS RUNNING PRETTY SMOOTH. WE'VE HAD NO ISSUES, HAD SOME GOOD GAMES AND EVERYTHING'S GOING WELL. WHAT'S THE AGE GROUP THEY'RE 11 TO 16 AND WE ACTUALLY WE HAD ENOUGH GIRLS THIS YEAR THAT WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE OUR OWN 1316 PROGRAM OUR WAY THAT'S SEPARATE FROM THE BOYS INSTEAD OF PLAYING COED AND BINGO ARE
[00:15:04]
THOSE GAMES AT NIGHT YEAH WE DO WE'LL DO IF MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FIVE 3637 AND 30 AND PRETTY MUCH ALL THE COURTS ARE BEING USED FOR ALL THREE TIME SLOTS THROUGH FRIDAY.WE HAVE A COUPLE OF NIGHTS WHERE WE HAVE ONE COURT THAT ONLY HAS TWO GAMES ON IT BUT THE OTHER THREE WILL HAVE ALL THREE GAMES ON IT SAME AS BEFORE FOR OUR UPCOMING YOUTH LEAGUES SOCCER BASEBALL SOFTBALL FLAG AND CHEER AGAIN. OUR NUMBERS ARE DOWN CURRENTLY BUT WE STILL HAVE TWO WEEKS LEFT OF REGISTRATION SO THOSE NUMBERS WILL JUMP UP CONSIDERABLY FOR ADULT COMING UP WE HAVE BEACH VOLLEYBALL, OUTDOOR VOLLEYBALL ON THAT REGISTRATION RUNS TILL THE 20TH. AS YOU SEE WE'RE ALREADY UP OUR KICKBALL AGAIN RUNS TILL THE 28TH AND WE'RE BASICALLY EVEN RIGHT THERE.
SO BOTH THOSE SHOULD CONTINUE TO GROW TOURNAMENTS THAT WE HAD WE HAD THE ROOKIE IN BASEBALL, BLUFFTON THE ROOKIE THERE WAS NO TOURNAMENT SO THEY WENT STRAIGHT TO THE STATE TOURNAMENT BLOCKED BLUFFTON AMERICAN WON THE TOURNAMENT. BOTH THOSE TEAMS GOT KNOCKED OUT IN THE STATE TOURNAMENT. THE ROOKIE TEAM THEY WON A GAME AND LOST TO AND THE TEAM WENT TO AND TO THE OZONE TOURNAMENT WAS IN BEAUFORT AS WELL HILTON HEAD WON THAT AS WELL AS THE MINORS WHICH WE DIDN'T HOST MINORS BUT HILTON HAD WON THAT AS WELL FOR THE SOFTBALL BLUFFTON HOSTED EIGHT YOU AND TEN YOU THE EIGHT YOU ENDED UP WINNING THAT TOURNAMENT WON THE STATE TOURNAMENT AND PLAYS IN THE WORLD SERIES IN LOUISIANA NEXT WEEK BLUFFTON WON TEN NEW TOURNAMENT. THEY ENDED UP GETTING KNOCKED OUT IN THE STATE TOURNAMENT SIX YOU IN 12 YOU WAS HOSTED IN BEAUFORT THE SIX YOU ACTUALLY DIDN'T THEY WENT STRAIGHT TO THE STATE TOURNAMENT FROM BLUFFTON AND THEY WERE STATE RUNNER UP THE 12 YOU BEAUFORT BEAUFORT WON THE 12 YOU DIVISION AND THEY ENDED UP GETTING KNOCKED OUT IN THE STATE TOURNAMENT AS WELL. IT'S NOT ON THERE RIGHT NOW BUT OUR 15 YOU BEAUFORT COUNTY TEAM THEY ALSO WENT STRAIGHT TO THE STATE TOURNAMENT WERE THE STATE RUNNER UP SO A PRETTY GOOD SHOWING FOR BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL OUR DIXIE BOYS ARE ACTUALLY UP IN SENECA RIGHT NOW ARE 13 YOU IS PLAYING LEWISVILLE RIGHT NOW AND KIND OF A BEST OF THREE ONE OR TO GO TO THE WORLD SERIES 14 YOU PLAYS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THEY'VE GOT A BIGGER TOURNAMENT THERE'S 12 TEAMS IN THEIR TOURNAMENT BUT THOSE ARE BOTH GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
THE MLB PITCH HIT AND RUN HOSTING THAT JULY 19TH AT OSCAR FRAZIER KIND OF A COOL EVENT.
WE'VE GOT SOMEWHERE AROUND 72 PARTICIPANTS SIGNED UP. THEY HAVE UNTIL THE 18TH TO REGISTER SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF FUN SOMETHING NEW THAT WE'RE TRYING SO IT SHOULD BE PRETTY GOOD THAT THE FIRST TIME THAT EVENT'S BEEN HELD HERE IT IS.
YEAH. AND THEN LAST IS THE TOP GUN SOFTBALL TRAVEL WE'VE BEEN HOSTING WE JUST HOSTED ANOTHER ONE ON THE 28TH AND WE HAVE THREE MORE COMING UP.
THE ONE IN AUGUST IS GOING TO BE IN BOTH BLUFFTON AND AND THEN IN SEPTEMBER AND NOVEMBER THOSE ARE BOTH GOING TO BE IN BLUFFTON. THOSE ARE ALL TRAVEL TOURNAMENTS. YEAH, THEY TYPICALLY THEY BRING THREE AGE GROUPS AND THEY'LL PLAY ONE ON EACH FIELD. IT'S PRETTY PRETTY COOL EVENT. THERE'S NOT A PIECE OF GRASS OUT THERE THAT'S NOT COVERED WITH A TENT. THERE'S PEOPLE EVERYWHERE AND THEY PRETTY LITERALLY THEY'LL START AT 830 IN THE MORNING AND THEY ME AND SCOTT WERE OUT THERE THE FIRST TOURNAMENT AND WE DIDN'T CUT THE LIGHTS ALMOST 11:00 SO THEY PLAY ALL DAY AND THEY JUST PAY OUR STANDARD FEE FOR THE FIELD THEY RENT THE FIELDS AND THEN THEY THEY PAY FOR UMPIRES, THEY PAY FOR, PAY FOR THE TROPHIES. IT'S REALLY ALL THEY DO IS RIGHT IN THE FIELDS AND THEY TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING ELSE. WELL THAT'S WORKING OUT WELL THEN YEAH VERY GOOD GOOD. I KNOW ISSUES WITH SOME GREAT QUESTIONS OF BENEFIT DO THAT STILL AS FAR AS THE TOURNAMENTS I'M A PROPONENT OF TOURNAMENTS I THINK IT DEFINITELY IS A GREAT JOB AND CITIES BENEFIT HUGELY FROM THESE TERM. WHAT BENEFIT HAS BE SEEN FROM THESE TOURNAMENTS SO FAR? I MEAN OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE FROM OUT OF TOWN COMING IN, YOU KNOW OUR OUR OUR FAMILIES, OUR TEAMS THEY GET TO STAY LOCAL. THEY HAVE TO TRAVEL TO CHARLESTON OR COLLEGE TOWN. YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST GOOD EXPOSURE FOR THE FOR THE AREA AND YOU KNOW, LIKE I WE REALLY HAVEN'T TRACKED ANY ECONOMIC DATA OR ANYTHING BUT.
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IS I MEAN THE FACT THAT THERE ARE GIRLS SOFTBALL TEAMS PLAYING LOCALLY
[00:20:05]
AND TOURNAMENTS TO ME THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD THING AND YOU KNOW, LIKE THE TRAVEL TOURNAMENTS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONLY THERE ARE ONLY ONE DAY TOURNAMENTS SO YOU KNOW, THERE'S REALLY NO IMPACT HOTELS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT BUT THEY'RE THEY'RE THERE FOR 13, 14 HOURS SO YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING OUT TO EAT OR VISITING PLACES AND WHATNOT.SO IT'S GOOD SOMETHING WE THINK IS GOING TO THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD ON.
I HOPE SO. I KNOW THERE'S TALK PEOPLE PEOPLE ON BRING BASEBALL SO IF WE'VE KIND OF TEST THE WATERS WITH THE SOFTBALL IT'S GOING REALLY WELL.
SO HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, BASEBALL WILL FOLLOW I KNOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE REACHED OUT TO ERIC ABOUT POSSIBLY BASKETBALL TOURNAMENTS. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE KIND OF SLOWLY WORKING OUR WAY INTO AND I GUESS THE BIGGEST ISSUE WITH THAT IS IS HAVING FIELD AVAILABILITY FOR OUR PROGRAMS AT THIS POINT. THERE'S NO CONFLICT WITH THAT.
NO NO, WE WE GOT WOULD BE WISE AND BASICALLY THEY WANTED A TON OF DATES SO WE KIND OF NARROWED IT DOWN TO FIVE DATES THAT THAT WORK WITHIN OUR FALL BALL OR SPRING BALL OR WHATEVER THAT THE FIELD WOULD BE AVAILABLE THAT WEEKEND AND THOSE ARE THE FIVE DAYS ONE GAME SO YOU'RE INTEGRATING WITH U.S. TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT ALL WORKS. YEAH.
OKAY, GREAT. THIS MIGHT BE A QUESTION THAT WOULD GO MOSTLY WITH THE DIRECTOR FOR THE FUTURE. WOULD THERE BE FIELD IN ANY FUTURE FIELD AVAILABILITIES THAT ARE FOR OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WEREN'T GOING TO COME IN AND DO MORE TOURNAMENTS OR IS THERE A FUTURE AND IT JUST IT WE AROUND OUR SEASON YES SO WHAT ARE AVAILABLE IS GOING TO BE IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE DORM UNFORTUNATELY WE DON'T HAVE TONS OF FIELDS FOR THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE A TON OF TIME ALL BECAUSE THIS AS WELL SO WHATEVER PEAK TIME WE HAVE THAT'S AVAILABLE WE USE THAT FOR THAT WE JUST TOLD YOU ABOUT THE COMING THE BEAUTY ABOUT US OVER HERE BUT WALTER IS THERE WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR BOTH FULL TIME FOCUS IT'S NOT BASEBALL OUR PURPOSE FIELDS THAT WHEN I COME UP SORRY OKAY OH YEAH I'LL TRY I'LL SELL IT AGAIN WHEN I COME UP YEAH ALL RIGHT. FAIR GAME WHEN I COME OUT WELL I WOULD ANSWER YOUR QUESTION HAVING BEEN A TRAVEL BALL COACH ALAN'S NOT HERE TODAY SO HE CAN'T HE CAN'T COMMENT ON BUT WE REALLY HAVE HAD NO INCREASE IN FIELDS IN THE LAST 15 YEARS SINCE MAYBE 20 YEARS SINCE OSCAR FRAZIER WAS BUILT SO THERE HAVEN'T BEEN A NOW THERE HAVE BEEN THINGS DONE WITH BLUFFTON FOR THE LITTLE KIDS FIELDS.
YOU KNOW WE'VE WE'VE MADE SOME IMPROVEMENTS THERE BUT IN BASEBALL THERE'S SUCH COMPETITION FOR TRAVEL TO TOURNAMENTS WITH UNBELIEVABLE FACILITIES LIKE WALTER BURROUGHS GOT A GREAT FACILITY AND SHIPYARD HAS GREAT FACILITY AND SO YOU KNOW EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT IT'S GREAT THAT WE CAN HAVE TOURNAMENTS HERE LOCALLY FOR OUR LOCAL TEAMS AS YOU'RE SAYING BUT YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT A SUPPLY DEMAND ISSUE WITH FIELDS AND TO THE EXTENT YOU CAN DO THAT WITHIN THAT RELATIONSHIP THAT'S GREAT BUT I MEAN I DON'T I'M THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LOOK AT IT DIFFERENTLY BUT I DON'T I DON'T SEE US BEING A HUGE TOURNAMENT MECCA, YOU KNOW, WITH WITH THE RESOURCES WE HAVE AND IN NUMBER ONE WE WANT TO SATISFY OUR NEEDS WITH OUR YOU KNOW, OUR RESIDENTS FIRST THAT'S DIFFERENT.
YEAH, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. I IT'S A GREAT IDEA I LIKE I SAID I'M PRO DEFINITELY HAVE MY SUPPORT AS FAR AS EXPANDING IF IF NEED YOU KNOW WHEN THAT TIME COMES AND SO I DEFINITE LOOK FORWARD TO IT. I THINK IT'S GREAT FOR THE COMMUNITY GREAT THIS TOWN. ALL RIGHT SIR THANK YOU. I'LL I'LL SPEAK BRIEFLY TO THE SENIOR PROGRAM AT A BIG GROUPS ON THE GROUND SO WE REALLY ARE THERE ONE ENLARGEMENT FOR THE SENIOR PROGRAM EACH YEAR WE'RE TRYING RECRUITS ON THE GROUND EVENTS WHERE ALL OF OUR SENIORS
[00:25:02]
CENTER SENIOR CENTERS CAME US IN MAY BUT HAVE GOOD FIELD TRIPS I MEAN YOU CAN SEE DOWN HERE WE'VE GOT OUT THE SEVERAL THOUSAND IN HOME DELIVERY AND THAT IS UP FOR RENEWAL.SO BASICALLY WE AUTOMATICALLY GET A BUT THERE ARE REALIGNMENT OF CONTRACT SO SEVERAL SENIOR CENTERS ARE SEEING IMPROVEMENTS CURRENTLY OR THEY LIKE THE REQUIREMENTS AND THEN SCOTT IS ON SCOTT CENTER IS REALLY WE'RE NOT VERY GOOD THIS GUYS SCOTT CENTER IS ON TRACK TO START IN AUGUST GET THEIR RENOVATIONS WE'VE GOT TWO NEW SENIOR COMMUNITY PLANNED TO START IN THE NEXT QUARTER OR SO AND THERE'S PROBABLY ONE MORE THAT I'M MISSING BUT WE HAVE LIKE I SAID, WE'RE THE WHOLE SENIOR ITSELF IS KIND OF GETTING A NICE FACELIFT COMING UP IN HOW MANY HOW MANY TOTAL PARTICIPANTS. WELL SO ALL OF OUR CENTERS ARE BASICALLY FULL SO KNOW WE'RE AT 100% CAPACITY. WE ARE WE IN FACT HAVE TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRANSPORT TO OUR FACILITIES BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY FULL. SO THAT ALL GOES THROUGH A VETTING PROCESS THROUGH LOCOG THEIR AGE AREA ON AGING WHERE THEY HAVE TO KIND OF GET VETTED AND APPROVED AND THEN ASSUMING AT THAT POINT WE HAVE SPACE WE WOULD PULL THEM IN BUT WE'RE WE'RE AT CAPACITY.
THERE ARE PLACES WE ARE TRYING TO BUILD KIND PEOPLE MORE COMING MORE FREQUENTLY LIKE CHARLES AND BROWN BUT GENERAL, ALL OF OUR FACILITIES ARE ARE THERE ANY SITUATIONS WHERE PEOPLE DRIVE THEMSELVES TO THE CELLS LISTEN. YEAH.
SO OKAY SO THE TRANSPORTATION AND WE HAD NEW VEHICLES RIGHT MEAN YES AND THEY'RE BEING USED MORE THAN EVEN WE ANTICIPATED FOR FIELD TRIPS AND AND THE LIKE AND IT'S WE'RE THE CITY PROGRAM IS VERY PLEASED TO HAVE GOTTEN THAT UPGRADE ACROSS THE BOARD.
WE COULD ALWAYS USE MORE BUT A LITTLE BIT OVER TIME GREAT GREAT AWESOME I'M NOT GOING TO DO ANY FOR I COULD I LOVE YOU GUYS. OH OKAY.
SO THE BATTERY CREEK HOURS ARE STILL THE SAME AS NORMAL. OUR FROM LESSONS ENDED AT THE END OF MAY AND WE HAVE REGULAR SWIM LESSONS GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND.
EVERYTHING LIKE THAT ARE CHECK INS FOR MAY FOR THE BETTER CREEK POOL WE HAD 355 FOR THE FINS SWIM TEAM AND THEN 790 95 FOR THE PUBLIC ITSELF AND THEN FOR JUNE THE FIN SWIM TEAM WENT BACK TO BLUFFTON. SO FOR JUNE THIS IS STRICTLY JUST THE PUBLIC BATTERY PEOPLE FOR 633 HMM. OKAY. BUT ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT BATTERY CREEK POOL IS THAT IS THAT POOL IS IT SLATED TO GO OFFLINE AT ANY TIME OR WE'RE GOOD TO GO NOW YOU TALKING ABOUT LIKE FOR CONSTRUCTION AND EVERYTHING. YEAH FOR THAT'S NOT THE NEXT POOL. THE NEXT POOL THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DOING CONSTRUCTION IS POOL. WE JUST DON'T HAVE A DATE YET. ALL RIGHT.
SO JUST PRELIMINARY WE GOTCHA. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BIT MORE THAN OKAY.
I'M GOING TO DO SO. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD.
YEAH. NO, THIS IS LIKE OKAY, IF I RECALL YOU SAID DOWN RIGHT? NOTHING'S GOING TO AFFECT YOU. ALL RIGHT. I HEARD THAT ABOUT THE POOL.
YEAH, UNDERSTOOD. SO OUR VIEW PURPLE OURS AS WELL.
THEY ARE STILL THE SAME AS NORMAL. THE SWIM LESSONS THEY FINISH AT THE END OF MAY THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE AT THAT POOL ARE WATER AEROBICS WHICH IS EVERY WEDNESDAY. NOW SHE'S TAKING A BREAK SHE USED TO DO MONDAY, WEDNESDAYS AND FRIDAYS BUT SHE'S ONLY DOING WEDNESDAY FOR THE SUMMERTIME AND THEN FOR THE CHECK INS FOR MAY IT'S 713 AND THEN FOR JUNE IS 792 AND THAT'S JUST REGULAR JUST PEOPLE CHECKING INTO THE FACILITIES. ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU FOR POOL AND THEN FOR OUR BLUFFTON POOL WE FINALLY REOPENED THE DATE WAS JUNE THAT WE REOPENED THE HOURS ARE THE SAME AS THE OTHER INDOOR POOLS AS WELL THE PROGRAM THAT WE THERE CURRENTLY IS THE FINS SWIM TEAM THEY ARE
[00:30:05]
EVERY SINGLE DAY WE ARE LOOKING AT OTHER PROGRAMS COME BACK TO THE BLUFFTON POOL BUT BECAUSE IT WAS CLOSED FOR A YEAR PROGRAMS WENT ELSEWHERE SOME FOR MAY OBVIOUSLY THEY WERE CLOSED BUT FOR JUNE IT WAS HUNDRED AND SIX FOR THE FINS SWIM TEAM AND THEN 638 FOR THE PUBLIC ITSELF. SO THE PUBLIC THE PUBLIC USE OF THAT POOL AND BATTERY CREEK'S PRETTY COMPARABLE OR ALL THE HALF OF THE PUBLIC WENT TO BATTLE CREEK AND THEN HALF WENT TO LIKE FOR EXAMPLE THE ISLAND RACK, THINGS LIKE THAT. OH, IT JUST DEPENDS WHERE THEY LIVE IN BLUFFTON TOO. IF THEY WANTED TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY TO BETTER CREEK HOW HAS THE RESPONSE BEEN FOR THE POOL? EVERYONE'S HAPPY WITH BLUFFTON POOL.I MEAN THEY'RE STILL A LITTLE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED BUT IN GENERAL EVERYONE'S HAPPY WITH IT. HAVE THE HIGH SCHOOLS REACHED OUT FOR FALL SWIM? THE HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE STARTED SCHEDULING EVERYTHING FOR ALL THE POOLS HIGH ALREADY AT THE HIGH POOL MAY RIVER AND BLUFFTON THEY'RE AT THE BLUFFTON POOL RIGHT NOW BATTERY CREEK STILL DOES NOT HAVE A TEAM FROM WHAT WE'RE AWARE OF . SO DO WE.
I WOULD THINK WE GIVE PRIORITY FOR THE SCHOOLS OVER THE FENCE THE ONLY CORRECT CORRECT SO AND WHEN WE DO THE SWIM TEAMS FOR BLUFFTON POOL IT'S PRETTY ORGANIZED WHERE ONE THEN THE NEXT AND THE NEXT SO EVERYONE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE AT THAT SO SO EVERYONE THE PUBLIC IS PRETTY WITH THEIR ACCESS TO THE POOLS WHAT I'M SAYING WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THE SWIM TEAMS AREN'T PEOPLE ARE INDIVIDUALS STILL GETTING PROPER ACCESS SO THE SWIM TEAMS DON'T COME UNTIL 4:00 AND WE ALWAYS HAVE A LANE OPEN NOW THEY HAVE TO SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC DOES HAVE TO SHARE WITH ONE ANOTHER SO THEY HAVE TO YOU KNOW COMBINED INTO ONE LANE WHEN THE SWIM TEAMS IS THERE BUT DURING DAY WE ARE OPEN FROM EIGHT TO 1 TO 2 AT LEAST FOR DAY TWO WHERE THERE'S NO SWIM TEAM THERE. BUT LIKE I SAID FROM FOUR TO CLOSE WE STILL HAVE A LANE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR BLUFFTON? OKAY. PHONE CALLS AS A PHONE CALLS STOP. NO, NEVER GOING TO STOP BUT YEAH, I'M JANE.
JANE, I THOUGHT YOU'D HAVE A PHONE CALLS AND MAY, JUNE, JULY.
OKAY. AND THEN OUR LAST CALL IS THE ALAN SUTTLES OUTDOOR.
THIS IS THE BUSIEST POOL THAT WE HAVE. WE WOULD LOVE THIS POOL TO BE OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND BUT IT'S THE OUTDOOR POOL THE HOURS HERE ARE POSTED THERE OPEN TUESDAYS THROUGH SUNDAYS WE CAMPS, WE HAVE BIRTHDAY PARTIES. EVERYTHING HAPPENS AT THAT OUTDOOR POOL WE ALSO OFFER THE CAMPS AND BIRTHDAY PARTIES AT THE INDOOR BUT MOST PEOPLE WANT TO BE OUTDOORS. CHECK IN FOR MAY WAS 1034 MAY WE OPENED UP EARLY BECAUSE.
BEAUFORT POOL WAS CLOSED FOR A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THEIR PUMP BROKE DOWN.
BUT I MEAN THE MOMENT PEOPLE FOUND OUT WE WERE OPEN PEOPLE WERE THERE AT THAT POOL AND THEN FOR JUNE AS YOU CAN SEE, 3703 A LOT OF THAT HAD TO DO WITH CAMPS COMING IN.
WE HAVE ABOUT FIVE OR SO DIFFERENT LIKE CONSISTENT CAMPS THAT COME TO THAT FACILITY.
YEAH YEAH. ANY QUESTIONS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE POOLS? NO, THANK YOU. OKAY, I'LL SEE YOU GUYS NEXT TIME.
ALL RIGHT. YOU KNOW THEY DON'T STOP. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE THE MICROPHONE DOWN FROM ANNIE TALKING. BUT SO WE ARE AND ROLLING WE JUST FINISHED UP WITH OUR UNITY IN THE COMMUNITY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND THAT TURNED OUT TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN EXPOSÉ ABOUT SOME OF THE NEWER PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE HOLDING OVER AT CHARLES AND BROWN. WE HAD ABOUT HUNDRED PEOPLE ROLL THROUGH KIND OF SEE WE HAD LINE DANCING KIND OF EVENTS. WE HAD FITNESS CLASSES.
WE HAD A LACROSSE CAMP, WE HAD ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT THE PUBLIC COULD COME IN AND KIND OF SEE NEWER THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING BOTH AT THAT FACILITY AND ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RIVER SO PEOPLE CAN GET AN EXPERIENCE OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR FACILITIES.
WE ALSO HAVE A REPACK BACKPACK THAT'S COMING UP IN AUGUST. SO A LOT OF THE KIDS IN THE AREA THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE HELP FINDING SCHOOL SUPPLIES HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET SOME
[00:35:03]
OF THAT THERE SO THE KIDS CAN COME IN AND TAKE THE SUPPLIES AND HELP THEM BE PREPARED FOR THE NEXT YEAR. LET'S SEE WE ALSO HAVE OUR POLICE MOVIE DAYS.THE LAST ONE THAT WE HAD HAD ABOUT 100 KIDS AT IT. SO THAT'S HOW WAS IT AT THE CHARLES BROWN ON A WEDNESDAY AT 3:00 AND I BELIEVE OUR LAST ONE IS THE 23RD FOR THE SUMMER, IS THAT CORRECT TO? OUR LAST PLEASE MOVIE DAY IS THE 23RD.
OKAY YEP. IT'LL BE WEDNESDAY THE 23RD AND THAT WAY ALL OF OUR CAMP ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RIVER WILL BE THERE AS WELL. SO WE'VE HAD A LOT OF REALLY GOOD TURN OUT FOR THAT. SO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OFFICERS THAT COME TO THAT OR YES SIR THERE'S ABOUT TEN POLICE OFFICERS THAT ARE OUT THERE.
THEY'RE HANDING OUT POPCORN THEY USUALLY HAVE THE LITTLE THINGS FOR THE KIDS AND THEN THEY PLAY A MOVIE UP ON THE SCREEN ON INSIDE WALL OF CHARLES ON BROWN.
I DON'T THEY DON'T DO ANY KIND OF TOUCHING THE CAR SITTING IN THE CAR KIND OF THING BUT IT'S JUST KIND OF A GOODWILL ACTIVITY FOR THEM. RIGHT.
OUR SUMMER CAMPS HAVE BEEN PACKED. WE'RE ROCKING AND ROLLING.
BLUFFTON CENTER HAS BEEN EVERY SESSION WITH A WAITING LIST OF 30 KIDS FOR JUST ABOUT EVERY SESSION AS WELL. HAS BEEN 70% FULL JUST ABOUT AND THE SCOTT CENTER HAS BEEN JUST ABOUT 80% FULL. SO THEY'RE ROCKING AND ROLLING. THEY HAVE ALL DAY TO DAY WHICH . THEY ARE DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO BE.
SO WE APPRECIATE ANNIE FOR ALL THE WORK THAT SHE DOES TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS WHENEVER THE WEATHER ALLOWS IT. WE'VE STILL GOT SOME PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN THE WORKS THAT ARE 7030 PROGRAMS SO THESE ARE CONTRACTORS THAT ARE COMING FOR US.
WE'VE GOT A BIG PUSH FOR LACROSSE RIGHT NOW. WE'VE GOT A LACROSSE CAMP ON BOTH THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE RIVER AS WELL AS A BLUFFTON WAVES CAMP COMING UP WHICH IS A TRAVEL BASEBALL TEAM HERE I BELIEVE AS WELL AS USC IS UTILIZING OUR GYM FOR A BASKETBALL CAMP HERE. SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF FUN SPORTING ACTIVITIES COMING UP AS WELL PROGRAMS WE'RE TRYING TO KIND OF GAUGE TOWARDS ARTS SO WE'VE GOT A DANCE COMING IN HERE SOON THAT WE'RE KIND OF WORKING THINGS THROUGH WITH. WE'VE GOT ART CLASS GOING IN THE LYNNE BROWN THAT WE'RE ALSO KIND OF TYING UP LOOSE ENDS ON AND SAME THING WITH WRESTLING TYING UP SOME LOOSE ENDS THERE AS WELL SO THAT SHOULD BE DONE HERE IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AND THEN WE'VE STILL GOT A LOT OF CURRENT PROGRAMS ONE PROGRAM THAT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS THE ALTITUDE ACADEMY THAT'S HAPPENING AT CHARLES BROWN. THIS IS A GENTLEMAN WHO IS A PILOT AND AN AIRCRAFT MECHANIC WHO HAS A REALLY NICE FLIGHT SIMULATOR AND HE OPENS UP FOR KIDS OF THE PUBLIC AND HE'S TEACHING THEM ABOUT THE INDUSTRY OF AVIATION ALL THE WAY THROUGH. SO HE'S TEACHING THEM GROUND CONTROLS.
HE'S TEACHING THEM JUST BASICS OF THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE AS WELL AS TAKING THEM THROUGH FLIGHT SIMULATOR HOURS WHICH IS A REALLY COOL EVENT THAT WE'VE HAD GOING ON OVER AT CHARLES ON BROWN WITH THE INTENT TO EXPAND THAT TO ONE OF OUR MORE FACILITIES SUCH AS GLORIA POTTS AND THEN A LOT OF THE OTHER FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE HAVE BEEN GOING ON AND WE FINISHED OUR FIRST PICKLEBALL CLINIC OVER AT THE CHARLES BROWN CENTER OR THAT MIDDLE OF MAY RIGHT PERFECT YEP. AND THAT'S WHAT WE HOW MANY PEOPLE CAME THAT WE HAD A LITTLE EVAN SIGNED UP SO WE ACTUALLY OPENED THAT WHAT WAS IT 12 SO WE WERE JUST ONE SHORT OF THE MAXIMUM THAT WE HAD IT OPEN FOR JUST BECAUSE OF COURT RESTRICTIONS.
SO IT ENDED UP WORKING OUT REALLY WELL. MOST POPULAR SPORT AMERICA RIGHT NOW AND GIRL GROWING SPORT IS GROWING THAT'S FOR SURE.
I'M SURE YOU CAN TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT NOW PERFECT.
AND THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT FROM RECREATION. ANY QUESTIONS PERFECT OR SO
