[4.B. The Arts Commission to consider application(s) for the Duncanville Poet Laureate and make a recommendation to City Council, selecting an applicant to fill this role from July 4, 2026, to July 3, 2027.]

THE APPLICATIONS FOR THE DUNCANVILLE POET LAUREATE AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL SELECTING AN APPLICANT TO FILL THE ROLE FROM JULY 4TH TO JULY 3RD, 2027. LET ME KNOW WHEN TO COME BACK. OH, OKAY. RECUSING HIMSELF. OKAY. OKAY. SO WE HAVE THREE APPLICANTS. A THIRD ONE CAME IN THAT WASN'T SENT TO YOU EARLIER, BUT THERE ARE THREE APPLICANTS.

WE HAVE CARRIE LOGAN HERE AND. TRYING TO GET THE NEXT NAME. WE ALSO HAVE MR. MAC BROWNING. AND THOSE. SOME OF THOSE WE SAW. AND THE THIRD POET IS. IF YOU NEED TIME TO READ UP ON IS MICHELLE LATRICE COOPER, AND SHE'S THE LAST ONE. SHE'S THE ONE WE DIDN'T HAVE. SO DOES ANYBODY NEED TIME TO READ UP ON. I HAVE A QUESTION BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER. OKAY. OKAY. SO THE POET LAUREATE, WHAT WOULD THE TERM BE? ONE YEAR STARTING ONE YEAR, ONE YEAR. OKAY. ONE

[00:50:07]

YEAR. SO IT WOULD BE 12 MONTHS. OKAY. I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS FROM NOW UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR. AND THEN IT WAS A NEW START IN A FISCAL YEAR. IT WOULD START IN JULY. SO THE GOAL PER THE POLICY, SO THAT THIS COULD WORK, THE POET LAUREATE WOULD BE ANNOUNCED IN THEIR FIRST THING WOULD BE JULY 4TH INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION. SO IDEALLY THIS WOULD WORK OUT WHERE THEY WOULD BE INTRODUCED DURING THAT, DURING THE CELEBRATION, AND THEN THEY WOULD GO THROUGH UNTIL JUNE OF NEXT YEAR FOR THE. AND THERE WOULD BE A LONGER PROCESS FOR SELECTING NEXT YEAR. SO ONE, WHEN THEY START AGAIN, WHEN IS THE BEGINNING? JULY 4TH.

WELL. JULY 1ST. THEY'LL DO SOMETHING ON THE FOURTH, BUT IT'D BE FROM JULY UNTIL JUNE OF NEXT YEAR. YEAH, BY THE END OF JUNE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IN CASE YOU GUYS DIDN'T REALIZE THERE. SOME OF HER CARDS, I THINK. YES. MISS COOPER'S CARD. SHE'S GOT A TEXT IN HERE. YEAH.

HER TEXT. THIS IS HARD BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST SORT OF SPED UP. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY WE HAVE THOSE CARDS. IT TOOK ME. I REALIZED THAT SHE WAS NO, I DON'T. SHE WAS A GREETING CARD MAKER. I WAS TRYING TO BE RESPONSIBLE WITH PAPER. THE LAST PERSON, WHICH ONE IS THE GREEN CARD? THE MISS COOPER, MICHELLE. MICHELLE COOPER, THE LAST ONE I HAVE DOWN. IS SHE AFTER DONALD BROWN? YES, MA'AM. SHE'S THE THIRD ONE. HER INFORMATION CAME IN AFTER EVERYTHING ELSE HAD ALREADY BEEN SENT TO US. I THINK IT WAS YESTERDAY. OKAY. THIS IS HER ONE YESTERDAY. THIS IS MICHELLE COOPER'S WORK. SHE DID THANK YOU CARDS AND ALL THAT. THE GREETING CARDS. AND SHE ALSO HAS SOME POEMS IN THERE AFTER THE APPLICATION. YEAH. AND I ALSO BELIEVE THERE'S A PROJECT THAT SHE SUBMITTED AS WELL. SO GOING THROUGH THE APPLICATION, YOU'LL SEE THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE ASKED, WHICH WILL GIVE YOU A SENSE OF WHAT WHAT WAS ASKED FOR TO BE SUBMITTED. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE FROM THE FILES THAT WERE SUBMITTED OR THE ANSWERS THAT WERE GIVEN, WHAT THEY, THEY GAVE. AND HER CASE, SHE DID SUBMIT BOTH THE APPLICATION.

AND THEN AFTER THE APPLICATION, THERE IS A PROPOSED COMMUNITY PROJECT. SOME OF HER WORK. AND THEN. BASICALLY AN INTRODUCTION IS THE THIRD PAGE OR THE AFTER THE APPLICATION, THERE'S ONE PAGE. THEN IT LOOKS LIKE TO BE A COMMUNICATION TO YOU ALL, AND THEN A COMMUNITY PROJECT AS SOON AFTER THAT. AND SOME SOUNDS. IT'S INTERESTING. SHE'S AN ARTSY PERSON, BUT HER EDUCATION IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. I TALKED ABOUT MISS COOPER. YEAH. HERE. OH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FIRST ONE. YES, YES. OH, YEAH. THE VERY FIRST LADY. YES. EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE.

YES, YES. GEEZ, LOUISE, I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT MICHELLE COOPER. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MICHELLE. I'M LIKE, WHERE DO YOU SEE IT? RIGHT. I DID SEE THE FIRST ONE. THE CHANCE TO READ ALL OF THAT. MADAM. WELL, I THINK THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT. BECAUSE OF OUR FELLOW MEMBER. I AM NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED. REALLY. MAKE A RECOMMENDATION. AND THE WAY I WANT ALL OF YOU ALL. I'M SURE HE WOULD TAKE IT THE SAME WAY. IS THAT IT'S BUSINESS. IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL AND IT'S NOT ABOUT. YOU KNOW, WE'RE FRIENDS AND ALL THAT STUFF AND THAT'S

[00:55:04]

GOOD. BUT THIS IS ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF THE POET LAUREATE, NOT PERSONAL. SO HOW EVERYONE YOU KNOW. YES, YOU VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE. AND I WILL RECOMMEND. CARRIE LOGAN. I THINK HER RESUME AND. HER PROJECTS ARE EXCEPTIONAL. SO. ARE YOU SECONDING PROMOTION? IF YOU'RE PUTTING IT IN MOTION, IS IT OKAY? IT'S NOT A MOTION. OKAY. I THOUGHT I WOULD SAY I CAN GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION. SINCE WE ARE DOING BUSINESS, NOTHING HAPPENS UNLESS YOU PUT IT IN A FORM OF A MOTION. I'M JUST SORT OF NOBODY'S TAKING IT. I CONCUR WITH YOUR SENTIMENT. I THINK YOU'RE OKAY. WELL, THEN I WILL MOVE THAT WE EXTEND THE CARRIE LOGAN CURE. THE OFFER OF THE POSITION OF DUNCANVILLE POET LAUREATE. I SECOND THE MOTION. OKAY. IT'S BEEN MOVED IMPROPERLY. SECOND, THAT WE EXTEND THE OFFER TO THIS RECOMMENDATION, MISS CARRIE LOGAN CURE AS OUR INAUGURAL POET LAUREATE RECIPIENT FOR DUNCANVILLE AND AN READINESS.

ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HAND. ALL OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. I WILL NOTIFY HER. YES, SIR. NO.

NO. NEVER BE HERE ALL NIGHT LONG. AND THAT WE SELECTED MISS CARRIE LOGAN. CURE? OH, YEAH.

SHE HAD A GREAT ONE. YEAH, I KNOW. I KNOW YOU. OKAY. NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS. WE RECEIVED

I DO KNOW THAT I OWE YOU ALL THAT REPORT OF THE CURRENT STATUS OF ALL OF THE GRANTS, WHERE THE REPORTS ARE AND ALL OF THAT. I WENT BACK THROUGH AND REVIEWED WHERE EVERYBODY WAS SENT OUT SOME EMAILS THAT DID PROMPT GETTING THESE TWO REPORTS. I DON'T THINK IT WAS A DELIBERATE OVERSIGHT. I DON'T THINK THEY WERE AVOIDING. I THINK THEY JUST FORGOT BECAUSE TIME HAD PASSED. SO THESE TWO WERE SENT IN. I THINK THERE WERE A COUPLE MORE. I DON'T RECALL THEM AT THE MOMENT, WHICH ONES THEY WERE. AND THEN MOST EVERYBODY ELSE IS STILL THERE. EVENT IS OUTSTANDING. YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON MASTER'S VOICE CHRISTMAS CONCERT REPORT. OKAY. AND THEN

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

[5.E. Review of Olden Year Museum Business Mixer ]

WE'LL COME BACK TO THAT. WE'LL TABLE THAT A SECOND AND WE'LL GO ON TO REVIEW THE OLD MUSEUM BUSINESS MIXER. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT WAS ABLE TO SHOW UP AND WORK THE DOOR, THE TABLE, EVERYTHING. THANK YOU, ALEX AND DEVIN FOR YOUR PATIENCE. YES, LORD KNOWS TABLE. YEAH, THE TABLES AND EVERYTHING WAS JUST WONDERFUL WITH THE CITY. DID THE LINDA THE CATERER WAS EXCELLENT. JUST THANKED THEM VERY MUCH FOR THAT. WE DIDN'T GET THE HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANYTHING ABOUT THE SURVEY YET FROM MISTER LACKEY. I'VE CALLED HIM

[01:00:07]

A COUPLE OF TIMES. HE MIGHT BE ON VACATION BECAUSE IT'S UNUSUAL. I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM HIM. I KNOW HE DID HIS THING AND I WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THERE. SO HE MAY HAVE BEEN TIED UP WITH THAT, BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET A REVIEW FROM CONVERSATIONS THAT YOU ALL HAVE HAD WITH YOUR PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED AND PEOPLE THAT I TALKED TO THAT ATTENDED, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT. EVEN LAST NIGHT I HAD MY LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD UNCLE WENT TO THAT, AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE, SOME OF THE PEOPLE WERE THERE. AND OF COURSE IT MADE THE OTHERS WHO DIDN'T COME REGRET NOT COMING. ONCE THEY HEARD ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS. BUT THEY EVERYBODY WAS JUST REALLY SURPRISED AND AMAZED AT HOW NICE IT WAS. BUT I APPRECIATE ALEX DOING THE THE DEVIL VOICES FLIERS. I HAVE BEEN HANDING THOSE OUT TO ALL SORTS OF FOLKS, AND I HOPE YOU ALL TOOK SOME OF THOSE AND HANDED THEM OUT TO. AND PEOPLE WERE INTERESTED ABOUT THAT. AND THE POET LAUREATE AND THE SURVEY. SO IT JUST ALL CAME TOGETHER VERY NICELY. SO THANK YOU. THE SURVEY RESPONSES. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WAITING ON. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. MISTER. MISTER LACKEY. BECAUSE THE ANSWERS THE THE THE THE RESPONSES WENT BACK TO TO HIM. HE WAS WILLING TO PUT IT TOGETHER FOR ME. AND SO GOTTA WAIT TILL WE HEAR FROM THEM. BUT IT TOOK A LOT OF PATIENCE BECAUSE IT TOOK A LOT OF PATIENCE. BUT, BUT I'M JUST GLAD IT WENT SO QUICKLY BECAUSE THAT WAS THAT WAS THE OTHER GROUP. THAT'S THE THE TEMPORARY GROUP THAT'S PUTTING THIS REVIEWING THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN WANTED IT EARLY BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO PRESENT SOMETHING MONTY DOES TO THE CITY COUNCIL IN JULY. SO THAT'S WHY IT HAPPENED SO FAST. IT ALMOST DIDN'T HAPPEN, BUT IT HAPPENED. SO BUT I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY STEPPING IN AND DOING EVERYTHING THAT THEY DID. ANY OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT OLDEN YEAR? THE EVERYBODY SAYS THAT THE THE ITEMS ARE GREAT. YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF PEOPLE EVEN SAID, I WENT THROUGH 2 OR 3 TIMES LOOKING AT THAT STUFF, AND THEY ENJOYED THE PEOPLE BEING THERE TO TELL THEM HOW IT WAS OPERATES AND LET THEM HEAR THE SOUNDS AND THE MUSIC AND ALL THAT STUFF. SO IT WAS GOOD. I DON'T KNOW. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. NEXT ONE, SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY.

[5.F. Social Media Strategy ]

THAT WAS ME. AND I GUESS IT'S MORE OF A QUESTION FOR. WELL, WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE. BUT ALSO, I GUESS IT'S MORE OF A QUESTION FOR, FOR ALEX TOO. WHEN I LOOK AT LIKE OUR FACEBOOK SITE, IT JUST HAS THE, YOU KNOW, NOTIFICATIONS OF APPLICATION OR IT HAS WHEN GRANTS COME OUT. BUT I KNOW THAT AT LIKE THE OLDEN YEAR AND, AND OVER THE YEARS, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF THINGS. WE HAVE PICTURES. IS THERE ANY REASON WHY WE CAN'T POST PICTURES ON OUR SITES? IT'S IS THERE A POLICY AGAINST THAT? NO THERE'S NOT. I JUST IT'S WORKLOAD.

HONESTLY, IT'S JUST WORKLOAD BECAUSE IT JUST IT LOOKS LIKE THE ART COMMISSION FACEBOOK PAGE IS BORING. I WILL I WILL VERY GLAD. AND YOU KNOW, IT SHOWS THOSE TWO. BUT IT'S LIKE WE DO A LOT OF THINGS. BUT IT'S NOT. IT'S ART, BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ART. YEAH. I WILL DO MY BEST. WHAT WOULD BE HELPFUL IS GETTING PICTURES BY TEXT IS KIND OF LIKE A CHALLENGE, TO TAKE THAT TO A COMPUTER AND THEN TURN THAT INTO A POST, AND THEN HAVING TO WRITE THE POST FOR THAT TO ACCOMPANY IT. I MEAN, IF THERE'S A WAY TO EMAIL THEM TO ME, THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO SAVE THEM OFF AND BE ABLE TO UPLOAD THEM. SO EMAIL THAT. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL. OKAY. I'D LIKE TO ADD ON THAT BECAUSE I'M SUPER INTO THAT TOPIC. I USED ALL MY TIME ON. LIKE THE SOCIAL MEDIA ALGORITHM IS CHANGING ENTIRELY. SO EVERYTHING FLAT KIND OF SUCKS. NOW PHOTOS SUCK. THEY DON'T DO IT. AND THAT'S WHAT I TELL MY PRODUCERS FOR MY SHOWS ALL THE TIME. I'M LIKE, I, A FLIER IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING. WE HAVE TO BE LIKE, PEOPLE WANT PERSONA AND THEY RESPOND BETTER TO VIDEOS. SO IF WE MAKE MORE, IF WE MAKE IF WE

[01:05:06]

TAKE OUR TIME TO DELIBERATELY MAKE LIKE, YOU KNOW, EVEN A TEN SECOND VIDEO SUGGESTING LIKE AN INTRO TO WHAT WE WERE DOING THAT DAY, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL. PEOPLE WOULD HAVE MISSED OUT, THEY WOULD HAVE LIKED IT, AND THEY WOULD HAVE SEEN VISUALLY, LIKE THE THINGS THAT WE WERE SEEING AND HOW FUN IT WAS AND WANT TO BE A PART OF IT. EVEN WHEN WE DO THE PODCAST, WE CAN DO LITTLE TEASERS. HEY GUYS, WE JUST SHOT SOME PODCASTS THIS TIME. WE INTERVIEWED THIS PERSON, SO WE ARE PUTTING OUT PODCASTS. I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW, BUT I'M SAYING LIKE OUR LITTLE TEASER VIDEOS, LIKE PRE THE OR OUTSIDE OF THE PODCAST, BASICALLY JUST, IT'S JUST LIKE AN INFORMAL LIKE, HEY, THIS IS WHAT I'M TELLING YOU TYPE OF THING. MORE STUFF LIKE THAT.

OBVIOUSLY THE PICTURES ARE COOL TOO, BUT MORE PEOPLE WANT THAT. LIKE WHO'S RUNNING IT? THEY WANT THE PERSONALITY. AND THAT'S WHAT'S REALLY GOING TO MAKE A PROJECT LIKE THIS OR ANY PROJECT GOING FORWARD MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN OTHERS. WELL, I DID PUT MINE ON MY FACEBOOK.

YES. AND IT DID GET A LOT OF HITS. PEOPLE ARE LIKE, OH MY GOODNESS. AND I ALWAYS PUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'VE BEEN DOING EVERYTHING, EVEN THE LAST THREE YEARS BEFORE ANN PERRY, ALL OF US ALWAYS PUT STUFF ON OUR OWN PERSONAL SITE. AND SO PEOPLE DO KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE ART COMMISSION THAT WAY. I THINK THE PICTURE STILL WORK. I DO LIKE THAT FRANCISCO IS PUTTING THE PICTURE AT LEAST A PICTURE OUT NOW WITH THE PODCAST. I THINK THAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT VIDEO. PARDON? SO WHAT HE'S DOING IS HE'S PUTTING OUT THE VIDEO. SO IN THE BEGINNING WHEN THE PODCAST STARTED, BECAUSE THE CITY'S FOLLOWING IS BIGGER, WE PRETTY MUCH PUT IT OUT FROM THE CITY THAT THE ARTS COMMISSION WAS DOING THIS TO TRY TO GET YOU TRACTION, PIGGYBACKING OFF, THEN TRANSITION IT OVER TO THE ARTS COMMISSION, WHICH LAST WEEK THAT OR THE LAST ONE, THAT WAS WHERE WE'RE STARTING TO PROMOTE IT FROM THE ARTS COMMISSION'S PAGE. SO THAT IS STARTING TO HAPPEN NOW. BUT INITIALLY WE WERE PUTTING IT OUT FROM THE CITY BECAUSE 600 VERSUS A COUPLE THOUSAND, RIGHT. WE'RE TRYING TO GET YOU THE TRACTION.

RIGHT? OKAY. SO I WAS JUST WONDERING, I GUESS WHEN WE HAVE THE EVENTS, SHOULD WE BE DOING, I MEAN, STEALS ARE OKAY, BUT VIDEO AS WELL. AND CAN WE TAKE THE VIDEO AND LINK THAT UP TO THE CITY'S PAGE? I THINK, WELL, NO, BUT WE SHOULD JUST EMAIL THEM TO ALEX. BUT WE SHOULD ASK OURSELVES WITH LIKE A GOAL OF LIKE 2 OR 3 GOOD VIDEOS THAT THAT CAN SERVE AS CONTENT EVEN RIGHT NOW, LIKE MAYBE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GOING FORWARD. WE COULD HAVE EVEN INTERVIEWED RON BECAUSE HE WAS GIVING US A LOT OF GOOD DATA, BUT NO ONE'S GOING TO KNOW ABOUT IT, RIGHT? YEAH. BUT LIKE, IF WE PUT THAT LITTLE, HEY GUYS, THERE'S THIS THING FOR ARTISTS, COME CHECK IT OUT. YEAH. OTHERWISE IT'S JUST FLAT HERE. YEAH, YEAH. AND BY US PUTTING IT ON THERE, IT'S JUST CONTENT. AND YOU KNOW, WE START OFF WITH TEN PEOPLE ACTUALLY ENGAGING ON IT, BUT THEN THEY SHARE IT AND SO FORTH. YEAH, YEAH. MY RECOMMENDATION IS THE SAME AS IT WAS. I GUESS IT'S CLOSE TO FOUR YEARS NOW. IF YOU HAVE CONTENT THAT YOU CAN HELP THAT I CAN JUST PASS THROUGH, BASICALLY, YOU GIVE ME THE CONTENT TO PUT OUT THERE. I CAN DO THAT. THAT IS EASIER. CREATING CONTENT CAN BE DONE. IT JUST, IT'S GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A DRAG TO IT. IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT SLOWER. OKAY, JUST FORWARDING IT TO YOU. YEAH. LIKE, LIKE IF WE FORWARD IT AND SAY JULY 4TH, WHATEVER, OR DUNCANVILLE ISD FAMILY NIGHT, THAT'S AND THAT'S FINE. AND A PICTURE OF WHATEVER WE'RE DOING. YEAH. I MEAN, IF YOU BASICALLY YOU CONSTRUCT MOST OF THE HERE'S, HERE'S WHAT I WANT, HERE'S THE PHOTOS, HERE'S WHAT I WANT IN THE POST. HERE'S SOME VIDEO. OR WE CAN GET TOGETHER, WHOEVER. AND WE CAN CREATE LIKE A SMALLER WAY OF COMMUNICATING AND FIGURING OUT A SCHEDULE AND WHAT POSTS AND THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO GET OUT. WE CAN WORK ON THAT AS WELL. OKAY, WELL, THAT WAS JUST MY QUESTION BECAUSE I WAS THINKING THAT MAYBE THAT WOULD HELP GARNER MORE. ENGAGEMENT.

ENGAGEMENT? THAT'S A QUESTION FOR FRANCISCO. OKAY. FOR MORE OR ANY OTHER COMMENTS. YEAH. SO YOU HAVE TO BE VERY DELIBERATE. YOU CAN'T BE WISHY WASHY WITH IT. SO EVERY OPPORTUNITY YOU GET, YOU HAVE TO LIKE RENT TODAY. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE ALL HERE. WE'RE ALL GOING

[01:10:03]

TO LEAVE. SO BEFORE WE LEAVE, LET'S, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER INTERESTING THINGS WE GOT GOING ON IN, YOU KNOW, OR, OR PLAYS COMING UP, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN LIKE AT LEAST A TEN SECOND THING, RIGHT? THE, THE, THE SEE NOW THE PLACE THAT NOT EVEN THE PLAY THE ICE CREAM THEATER. YEAH. AND THEY PUT THAT OUT UNDER THE DUNCANVILLE THEATER. AND. RIGHT. AND I, WE'RE NOT A RECIPIENT OF IT. I MEAN, WE'RE NOT WITH THE ART. I JUST IT'S AN ART ACTIVITY IN DUNCANVILLE, RIGHT? AND WE JUST PUSH IT OUT PERSONALLY. BUT IT'S STILL. IT'S. YEAH. WHAT DO YOU THINK? BECAUSE IT'S STILL RELATIVE. I CAN'T HAVE I CAN'T HAVE THE MEETING END. AND THEN YOU ALL DO SOMETHING. OH, OKAY. WELL, OKAY. YEAH. BECAUSE OF THE FACT OF IF YOU IN THE MEETING FORUM, IF THIS IS NOT IF THIS IS NOT ON THE AGENDA AND THEN YOU ARE ALL DOING IT, THEN YOU'RE ALL BASICALLY STILL IN A MEETING. YEAH, YOU JUST CREATED ANOTHER MEDIA. WAIT, SO THEN OKAY, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. SO THEN WE. SO DO WE HAVE TO MAKE VIDEOS? WELL, WE'RE IN FORUM TEASER VIDEOS. I WOULD SAY NO. LET'S FIGURE OUT A SMALLER GROUP AT THE END.

YEAH, LIKE 2 OR 3, YOU KNOW, LATER ON, YOU KNOW, LIKE MAYBE DO A WORKSHOP OR, OR JUST SOME IDEAS. MAYBE YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHO YOUR SUBCOMMITTEE IS REAL QUICK. YEAH. WITHOUT A VOTE, JUST KIND OF LIKE, AGREE, HERE'S YOUR SUBCOMMITTEE AND THEN WE CAN CREATE AN EMAIL GROUP WHERE WE CAN FIGURE OUT SOME THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE. WOULD ANYBODY LIKE I'M REALLY GOOD AT MAKING VIDEOS. I'M DOING THE PODCAST RIGHT NOW. SO HOLD ON A SECOND. ANYBODY ELSE? YEAH, I'M OTHER PEOPLE. I MEAN, I DO THIS ALL THE TIME. AND I AND, AND I, I'LL SHARE THIS WITH YOU GUYS JUST REAL BRIEFLY. WE'VE GOT TO GET SOME OF THIS INFORMATION OFF THE TABLE AND OUT THERE. IT'S SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE'RE DOING SO MANY GREAT THINGS. AND LIKE THE LAST SOCIAL WE HAD, WAS FANTASTIC. WELL, IT WAS EXCUSE ME FOR GOING BACK TO THAT, BUT I JUST FELT LIKE IT NEEDED TO BE PUT OUT THERE. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ALL ARE DISSEMINATING WHAT. BUT THAT WAS AWESOME. I HAVE PLENTY OF PHOTOS OF. THE GOAL IS TO GET IT OUT. FLIER WAS BEAUTIFUL AND EVEN THOUGH IT'S ALREADY GONE, YOU KNOW, LIKE WHEN I PUT IT ON MY FACEBOOK SITE, I PUT THE FLIER THAT YOU DID, AND THEN I PUT THE PICTURES THAT HAD OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, AND THEN PEOPLE WERE RESPONDING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THEY LOVE THE PICTURES WE PUT ON OUR PICTURE. YOU BEHIND. YEAH, THEY LIKE THAT ONE. SO YOU KNOW, YOU ANYBODY ELSE SOCIAL MEDIA EFFICIENT DEFICIENT. AMY'S GOOD. I DON'T MIND JOINING IN.

THAT'LL BE FUN. OKAY. MAYBE YOU AND. OKAY. AND AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH PODCASTS ONE DAY. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. OKAY. SO THE THREE OF YOU ALL JULIO, LUCAS. PAT. PATRICIA. OKAY.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, I'LL FINISH WITH THAT ONE. NEXT ONE. GEE, ART GIFTING POLICY. I, I

[5.G. Art Gifting Policy ]

SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ONE WHILE WE WERE AT THE ART MIXER, A LADY CAME UP TO ME AND TALKED ABOUT A PIECE OF ART THAT SHE HAD THAT SHE HAD, I GUESS, INHERITED OR SOMETHING, I HAVE NO IDEA. BUT SHE WANTED TO GIVE IT TO THE ARTS COMMISSION FOR THE CITY OR WHATEVER, BECAUSE SHE FELT IT NEEDED TO BE DISPLAYED OR WHATEVER, BUT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST KEEP IT AT HOME. SHE WANTED TO GIFT IT TO THE CITY. AND SO I WAS TELLING HIM, WE DON'T DO THAT. WE DON'T WE DON'T ACCEPT IT, BUT THAT THAT MAY BE GOING FORWARD. AND, AND WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION NOW. BUT GOING FORWARD IN THE NEAR FUTURE, AS AS THIS CONTINUES. WE MAY NEED TO ESTABLISH AN ART GIFTING POLICY. IT WOULD BE IT WOULD BELONG TO THE CITY. BUT THE CITY, I GUESS, NEEDS TO DECIDE. BUT YEAH, SHE WANTED TO SHE WANTED TO GIVE US SOME ART. WAS THIS THE LADY FROM LANCASTER? I THINK SO, I CAN'T REMEMBER THAT I BROUGHT OVER TO YOU. SHE WAS, I CAN'T REMEMBER. THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE. HER HUSBAND, SOMEBODY WANTED SOMEBODY, I DON'T KNOW. SOME LADY WANTED TO GIVE IT. AND I WAS JUST LIKE, WE JUST OKAY, WE CAN'T REALLY ACCEPT IT RIGHT NOW. I CAN SEE IF THERE'S WHAT I CAN FIND. ON DONATING THINGS TO THE CITY. RIGHT. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT SOMETHING, PUT IT IN A CLOSET AND IT COULD AND IT JUST GET LOST SOMEWHERE. I THINK IT WOULD BE COOL IF WE LIKE, HAVE A SELECTED LIKE PEDESTALS THAT WE COULD LIKE, LIKE TURNTABLE THE ART AROUND OR SOMETHING. IF

[01:15:06]

THERE'S LIKE FOUR DIFFERENT, LIKE IF THERE'S A LIBRARY, CITY HALL THING, BUT WE ONLY HAVE ONE. INSTEAD OF IT BEING AT THE LIBRARY, LIKE EVERY MONTH, WE LIKE FLIP IT AROUND. YEAH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT I MEAN, GOING FORWARD, I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE KIND OF COOL. BUT THEN YOU ALSO HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH ART TOO, THAT WHEN YOU'RE DISPLAYING IT IN THE PUBLIC LIKE THAT, KEEPING IT SAFE, SECURITY, SOMEBODY ACCIDENTALLY KNOCKING IT OVER AND BREAKING THINGS, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE LIABILITY LIES. BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THAT. MAYBE IN THE FUTURE PEOPLE WANT TO START GIVING US ART. SHE JUST ASSUMED, SINCE WE WERE THE ARTS COMMISSION, THAT WE. THERE MUST BE A WAY, I MEAN. LAND HAS BEEN DONATED TO THE CITY. YEAH, PEOPLE DONATE ALL THE TIME, RIGHT? DO Y'ALL HAVE A CITY? YOU GOT A CITY ATTORNEY? THIS HAS GOT TO BE A WAY TO DO IT. I JUST, I, I JUST DID RESEARCH ON YEAH, PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. THEY, THEY'RE FIXTURES, ESPECIALLY THE WEALTHY. THEY JUST WANT TO GET IT OUT OF THE HOUSE AND THEY WANT SOMEBODY ELSE TO ENJOY, TO ENJOY IT. AND THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS SAYING. SHE WANTED OTHER PEOPLE TO ENJOY THIS PIECE OF ART. IS IT SOMETHING THAT SHE DOESN'T WANT BACK? IS THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT IT BACK? SHE WANTED TO GIVE TO US. SHE WANTED TO GIVE IT TO ART SCHOOL. TO HER IT IS, I DON'T KNOW. NO, I MEAN, AS HAVING BEEN ASSESSED AS VALUABLE. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW, I DIDN'T ASK HER THAT, BUT IT WAS SOMETHING SHE. YEAH. BUT IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD YIELD A TAX RECEIPT, I GUESS IS WHAT I'M ASKING. I DON'T KNOW THAT THE CITY CAN GIVE A TAX RECEIPT LIKE I'VE DONATED TO 501 C THREE THINGS. YOU CAN DO IT ON A 501 C THREE. YEAH. BUT I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE SHE ASSUMES THE CITY CAN WHICH I ASSUME THEY CAN'T. YEAH. I THINK SHE ASSUMED OR SHE WAS THINKING THE ARTS COMMISSION THAT WE SINCE WE WERE THE ARTS, SHE THOUGHT SHE COULD DONATE IT TO US. THERE IS AN ARTS. WELL, THERE'S THE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE OTHER. RIGHT. AND THEY DON'T REALLY TAKE IT. THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PLACE FOR IT RIGHT NOW EITHER. SO. BUT IT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT, I GUESS, IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT HAS COME UP. THERE HAS BEEN OTHER FOLKS WHO HAVE WANTED TO DONATE ART TO THE CITY. SCULPTURES. SCULPTURES AND STUFF. YEAH. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, WE'LL HAVE A PERMANENT SITE COMMISSION. YEAH. AND THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE A GALLERY OR SOMETHING. YEAH. I WILL TRY TO DO A BUNCH OF RESEARCH AND SEE WHAT I CAN BRING BACK TO YOU AT THE NEXT MEETING. OKAY. SO THAT THAT WAY YOU DON'T WAIT FOREVER FOR IT.

MY FRIEND WAS GIVING ME THE, THE OLD SIGN FOR THE, YOU KNOW, ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE OLDEST STORE IN DUNCANVILLE? THE OLDEST STORE? YEAH, THAT'S PROBABLY THE OLDEST THING IN BARKERVILLE. OTHER THAN THE TRAIN STATION. IT'S THE FEED STORE. OKAY, OKAY. AND MY FRIEND, A SIGNAGE. HE MADE A NEW SIGN BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE WAS A BREAKING. SO HE WAS TRYING TO LIKE, HE HAS IT IN HIS GARAGE. HE WAS LIKE, DO YOU WANT IT? I'M LIKE, NO, BUT NOW I THOUGHT ABOUT LIKE MAYBE GETTING IT BECAUSE IT'S FROM THE OLDEST STORE AND IT'S LIKE SOME IT'S IN THE OLD LIKE 1920S PHOTOS. YEAH. BE NICE. OKAY. YEAH. GO BACK TO HIM. TELL HIM.

YEAH. YOU WANT PUT IT IN YOUR. YEAH. PUT IT IN YOUR RESTAURANT. YEAH. PUT IT IN YOUR GARAGE OR.

THANK YOU. ALEX. OKAY. LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA. SEPTEMBER. OCTOBER BUSINESS MIXER. OH. I'M

[5.D. City-Commissioned Original Art ]

SORRY. OH I'M SORRY. NOPE. LAST LAST NIGHT. CITY COMMISSION. ORIGINAL ART. OKAY. MARY ANN, COUNCILMAN KOONTZ CALL ME AND HAS AN IDEA THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO IMPROVE THE ART OR SEE THE ART IMPROVE, NOT HIM. DO IT IN CITY FACILITIES THAT IT'S OUTDATED AND UNINTERESTING AND.

OUGHT TO BE IMPROVED. AND OF COURSE, SINCE WE'RE THE ARTS COMMISSION, WE WOULD BE THE ONES TO OVERSEE THAT. WE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT HOT FUNDS IS GOING TO COVER. AND SO THAT WILL BE AN ISSUE. IS IT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD ASK FOR DONATIONS? I WONDER IF THAT'S A QUESTION LIKE ARTISTS HAVE THINGS THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SEEN. IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE MONEY TO PAY THEM. SO WE TALKED ABOUT THAT A BIT.

I SAID, YES, I WILL PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE THINK. OH, COULD THEY POSSIBLY HAVE LIKE A CONTEST AND SELECT SOME ART? AND IT BECOMES OUR YEAH, WE DO THE SUPPLIES AND WE AND THEY DO THE ART AND WE AND, AND WE CAN PUT IT IN DIFFERENT PLACES. I LIKE THAT BECAUSE WE

[01:20:03]

WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE ART GIFTING POLICY AND MAYBE HOW. AND A LOT OF TIMES, I MEAN, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU DECORATED YOUR HOME, RIGHT? SO OBVIOUSLY US BEING IN THIS ROOM, WE ALWAYS SEE THE SAME ARTWORK. BUT IF WE HAVE A CAROUSEL OF POTENTIAL LIKE PEDESTALS, HEY, THIS WALL, WE CAN ROTATE THIS SPECIFIC ARTWORK AND BRING ALTERNATIVE, YOU KNOW, ART INTO THE MIX. BECAUSE IN CAFES, A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE HAVE, THEY HAVE ART THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE CAFE'S ART. IT'S, IT'S THE, IT'S ON BORROWED TIME FROM THE ARTIST BECAUSE THEY JUST WANT TO GET THEIR NAME UP THERE. AND THEY ALSO SOMETIMES HAVE THE PRICE TAG IF PEOPLE WANT TO PURCHASE IT. THAT SOUNDS KIND OF WORK INTENSIVE TO ME. I THINK WHAT HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS PERMANENTLY INSTALLED PIECES TO REPLACE PIECES THAT'S AND THAT IT BELONGS TO THE CITY BECAUSE IT SAYS CITY COMMISSIONED. OH YEAH. LIKE CITY COUNCIL AND NOT JUST A ONE TIME THING, BUT OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL YEARS, WHICH AGAIN IS WOULD BE WORK INTENSIVE, LIKE, SAY, CITY HALL. WHAT HERE IS THE ART THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. YES. I MEAN, NOT ME TO CALL IT. YES. YES. RIGHT. AND STILL, LIKE I SAID, YOU CAN ROTATE IT, BUT IT WOULD BELONG TO THE CITY. YEAH. OF COURSE. YEAH. AND THAT'S, I MEAN, I DON'T WANT IT TO BE ROTATED.

BUT YEAH, THAT IS THE CITY ACTUALLY COMMISSIONING IT BECAUSE THEN THEY WOULD NEED TO COME UP WITH FUNDS, NOT HOT FUNDS. WELL THAT WAS THE UNANSWERED QUESTION. THEY YOU KNOW, HE CAN LOOK INTO A BUDGET I GUESS, FOR IT, ALTHOUGH I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE A BUDGET THAT THEY MIGHT NOT BE HAPPY TO CONSIDER. WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE, YES, THERE OUGHT TO BE A FACILITY'S BUDGET, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WOULD GO. BUT BUT WOULDN'T THAT BE A CITY COUNCIL'S DECISION? ANYHOW, WE WOULDN'T MAKE A DECISION ABOUT FUNDING. WE CAN MAKE A RECOMMENDATION. WE COULD MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF PERHAPS THE ART THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE PLACED, AND THEN THEY CAN LOOK AT THE ART. YEAH. AND THEY CAN LOOK AT. BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A BUDGET JUST FOR THE ART WE COULD MAKE. WE COULD PROBABLY MAKE A RECOMMENDATION, MAYBE A LINE ITEM FOR ARTISTS DOING ART, BUT I DON'T KNOW. WELL, I THINK WE REALLY NEED SOME SPECIFICS. LIKE WHERE WOULD IT GO? WHAT KIND OF ART? REPRESENTATIONAL.

IMPRESSIONISTIC, YOU KNOW WHAT, WHAT'S THERE NOW THAT NEEDS TO GO TALK TO MAYBE PEOPLE IN THOSE OFFICES, SEE WHAT THEY MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN? WOULD THAT BE THE FACILITY MANAGER THAT WE INTERVIEWED IN THE PODCAST? ALEX. WELL, LIKE I SAY, IF YOU SAY CITY HALL UNTIL IT CHANGES, WOULD IT ONLY BE THAT LOBBY AREA? YEAH. OR THE OFFICES. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN, THIS ART THAT YOU HAVE IN THE WALL HERE MAY BE WHAT YOU NEED. THAT'S NOT REALLY ART.

NO, THAT'S NOT NO IT'S NOT. BUT I MEAN FACETIOUS. OH, SORRY. I WAS BEING FACETIOUS. I WAS REALLY PRETTY. I DON'T KNOW, IS THERE ANY ART OUT THERE IN THE LOBBY? YEAH, I NEVER EVEN NOTICED. I NEVER NOTICED LIKE A POSTER THERE IS. SO IF YOU REMEMBER JUNETEENTH, THE FIRST JUNETEENTH. YES. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ONE OF THE PARTS OF THAT WAS THAT ALL THE ART WOULD STAY ON DISPLAY AT CITY HALL FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. YES. WHICH ACTUALLY WORKED OUT REALLY WELL. PEOPLE REALLY LIKED IT. THE ART WOUND UP IN THE LOBBY, AND IT WOUND UP BACK IN THE PERMITTING PLANNING AND ZONING AREA, AND ART WAS TAKEN DOWN AND THOSE PIECES WERE PUT UP INSTEAD. BUT THEN THERE WAS A QUESTION OF THE LIABILITY, THE INSURANCE THINGS, WHOSE.

AND I THINK THAT ALL WORKED OUT VERY NICELY BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENED TO ANY OF THE ART. BUT THEN IT BECAME A BIGGER CONVERSATION ABOUT WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ART, WHAT LIABILITY, ALL OF THAT. NOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE COMMISSION POTENTIALLY COMMISSIONING ORIGINAL PIECES OR TAKING DONATIONS OFF OF NEW ART. THAT'S A WHOLE LOT OF A CONVERSATION THAT I DON'T KNOW THAT I HAVE ANY OF THE ANSWERS FOR YOU AT THIS MOMENT. WELL, I MEAN, I THINK THE THING WOULD BE THE CITY WOULD OWN THIS ART. IT WOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD TRAVEL BACK TO THE ARTISTS. BUT AS THE CITY COMMISSIONING THE ART, OR IS THE CITY TAKING DONATIONS OF ART? AND THEN IF IT'S TAKING DONATIONS OF ART, IT GOES BACK TO THE OTHER ITEM, WHICH DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN MONEY. IT'S JUST ASKING. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'D GET. AS MY HUSBAND SAID, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. BUT YOU KNOW, I DON'T

[01:25:04]

KNOW. WE'D HAVE TO SEE IT. OH, BUT ALSO A LOT OF TIMES LIKE ARTISTS WOULD WANT. I MEAN, IF YOU HAVE A GOOD PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE COMPENSATION, NO, THEY WANT THAT WALL BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET THE EYEBALLS. ABSOLUTELY THEY DO. YOU CAN. IT'S FREE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THEM. YEAH. IT'S FREE. ADVERTISEMENT. THANK YOU. YEAH. BUT I STILL THINK IT NEEDS TO GO THROUGH LEGAL. YEAH. I THINK TO SEE WHAT WE YEAH. BEFORE WE EVEN THINK ABOUT RESEARCHED. OKAY. YEAH. I WILL RESEARCH BOTH TOPICS AS ONE PROJECT. THANK YOU AND BRING YOU BACK AS MUCH INFORMATION AS I CAN. NOW DO WE. DOES THE CITY OWN EASELS? DO WE HAVE THEM? IF IT WERE TO BE THAT KIND OF ART, I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S NOT WHAT HE'S ASKING. HE'S ASKING FOR THINGS HUNG ON THE WALLS. BUT ARE THERE EASELS YOU HAVE THE ARTS COMMISSION CURRENTLY HAS LIKE I THINK YOU LOST TO, BUT WE ORDERED 24 L'AFFAIRE. NO, NO, IT WAS THE NOT IF IT WASN'T THE LAST JUNETEENTH, IT WAS THE ONE BEFORE THAT. YEAH. WE ORDERED 20 AND I THINK 1 OR 2 ONE BROKE AND I THINK ONE IS MISSING. OKAY. SHOULD WE ADD THAT ON THE NEXT MONTH'S AGENDA AT WHAT? OH, LIKE THE UPDATE ON THAT. YEAH. OR IF IF YOU KNOW, OR HE CAN GIVE US AN UPDATE OR EVEN IF IT'S NOT COMPLETED, I'M GOING TO SEE WHAT I CAN FIND OUT AS FAR AS DONATING OR COMMISSIONING ARTWORK AND GIFTING POLICY AND GETTING YEAH, I'LL SEE IF I CAN LUMP ALL BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS INTO SOME INFORMATION, BRING IT BACK TO YOU EITHER A STATUS OF WHERE I AM, OR TRY TO ANSWER AS MANY QUESTIONS AS I POSSIBLY CAN. AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY COOL, ACTUALLY, THAT YOU BRING THAT UP AS WELL, BECAUSE WE, WE INTERVIEWED THE MAYOR, RIGHT.

AND THE MAYOR WAS SAYING THAT HIS ART APPRECIATION, YOU KNOW, WAS GROWING. AND OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS ARE PART OF THE ART COMMISSION. SO MAYBE YOU GUYS ARE MORE IN TUNE WITH THE ARTS.

SO IT WOULD BE KIND OF COOL IF WE WERE LIKE CURATORS OF, OF THAT KIND OF DISPLAY INSTEAD OF PASSING IT ON TO SOMEONE ELSE. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. CAN I MOVE ON? ALRIGHTY.

[5.H. September/October Business Mixer ]

SEPTEMBER. OCTOBER. BUSINESS MIXER LOOKING TO DO OUR NEXT BUSINESS MIXER IN THE SEPTEMBER.

OCTOBER AIR TIME PERIOD. I KNOW THAT MISS COLEMAN TOOK THE LEAD OR SAID SHE WOULD TAKE THE LEAD ON THAT ONE. AND OTHERS OF US, EVERYBODY WILL HELP HER WHERE THEY CAN AND JUST NEED TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION. AS TO WHEN, LIKE SHE SAID, LIKE RON WAS SAYING, ARTS AND HUMANITIES MONTH IS IN OCTOBER. AND JUST BEING TRANSPARENT THAT THAT. WE WERE LOOKING. I TALKED TO MISS COLEMAN ABOUT MAYBE US DOING SOMETHING AROUND SEPTEMBER 24TH, RIGHT BEFORE LIKE THE INTRODUCTION. SO AND I MIGHT RECOMMEND MAYBE YOU APPLY FOR A GRANT FOR THIS ONE. OKAY. AND WE APPLY FOR A GRANT. OKAY. SO. WE'LL NEED TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON A LOCATION AND THE DATE, AND THEN WE CAN DISCUSS WHATEVER UPS AND DOWNS ABOUT IT. SO. MY CONCERN ABOUT THE, THE 202 WEST CENTER IS THEY DON'T HAVE ALL THE PERMITS YET. AND ARE WORRIED ABOUT COMMITTING TO THAT LOCATION WITHOUT. DEFINITIVE CEOS. SO THAT THAT JUST WORRIES ME A LITTLE BIT.

AND I DO KNOW THAT. THE THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, THEY ARE WORKING ON IT. YEAH, I KNOW THEY THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR A WHILE. FOR A WHILE. WELL, YES, EXACTLY. I JUST, I KNOW THAT'S BEEN GOING ON. SO SINCE THEY HAVE BUSINESSES ALREADY OPERATING THERE. YES. COULDN'T WE JUST FLOW OUT OF 1 OR 2 OF THOSE? AND EVEN IF WE DON'T HAVE THE CEO FOR THE BIG ROOM,

[01:30:07]

THAT'S A POSSIBILITY. YEAH, WE COULD STILL DO IT IN THAT AREA. YEAH. AND I LIKE 202. MY THOUGHT WAS USUALLY WE DO BUSINESS MIXERS. WE USUALLY ARE TALKING ONE BUSINESS AND OR TWO BUSINESSES. WE USUALLY HAVE LIKE A BUSINESS AND THEN MAYBE ANOTHER ONE. WE'VE BEEN PUTTING TWO TOGETHER. THIS ONE WE WOULD HAVE AT LEAST NINE BUSINESSES BECAUSE IT WOULD BE MR. MAIDEN.

AND THEN THE EIGHT OTHERS THAT ARE ALREADY OPERATING OVER THERE. THAT PROCESS IS THAT YOU USE ALL THE PROPERTY WHERE PEOPLE COULD WALK AROUND ALMOST LIKE A. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU ALL DID THE WINE WALK OR ANYTHING AT HILLSIDE VILLAGE. I DO IT EVERY YEAR, BUT MAYBE WE WERE GOING TO GO. IF WE DO IT, THERE WE GO. TALK TO THE. AND HE'S GOING TO DO A TOUR. BUT WE'D GO TALK TO THE DIFFERENT BUSINESSES WHO ARE EXCITED ABOUT IT ANYWAYS, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO TALK TO THEM. AND IT MAY BE PEOPLE CAN WALK TO THE DIFFERENT BUSINESSES BECAUSE IT'S ALL IN THE SAME AREA. AND, AND PERHAPS THOSE BUSINESSES MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING FOR THEIR OWN BECAUSE THEY'RE PROMOTING THEIR BUSINESS. SO THEY MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SOMETHING.
