VARELA: T�ank you. ❑kay, so lJpdate vn CIP antf Park Proje�ts, please. G�DOWIN: All right. There's a bunch going or� right nvw. Dne of the highest-visibility projects right now is the ska#e park. Has anybody been over there ta see it recently? They are going to town and it Ioaks really gvod, you can get a good idea of the faotprint of the new space, and how much bigger it is, they are really cracked getting to work. Sv, it's really impressive. I actually went vver #here the ather day, kind �f expecting nat a Ivt and it was really, really coal. Sa that is a good one. Sa even if you just do a drive-hy to get an it�ea that is underway. As sov� as we ha�e a prajected timeline and comp�etion date, we'll make sure to ha�e that out there and we'll prahably do some svrt of riE�ban cutting ar samething like that, that every�ody will �e invited to. Dnce again, once we get a little clvser tv that date. W� also ha�e the Galden Eag1e shade structures gving up. Those are really big, shaded areas going up around �ield 1, which is the far narth field, the hig haseball fie(d. ft's the ❑nly field that doesn't ha�e same shaded seating. An� then we're adding two additional shades dawn around the other three ball fields and that'll camplete vur shade effarts far alf af the speciators over there at Galden Eagle. �r� an aside, w� have been na#icing we ha�e Pastgrad 5ports, which is vur basehall program that uses Gviden Eagles as their hame feld. Bas�ball season right now, if anybody is a baseball fan, t�ey play collegiate-level baseball v�t there at leas# twice a week. They played GCLI and ASIJ, and are gaing to be playing Coiarado State. It's really coof, and it's totally free. 50, if yvu are a baseball fan, or mayhe yvu cauldn't get Cubs ti�kets, it's a really gaad way to see same really high-cali�er baseball ir� yaur backyard. So we're going ta pro�ably da a fittle pramatian of that here locally in the next cvuple af weeks. Pretty coa(. We're also daing some renovations that are nat CIP, but it is a park project over at Fountain Park the main restraam t�uilding, r�ot the twa new ones, but the old ane was due for standard - 2 - � httvs:llatter,ai CQMMUIVITY SERVICES AUVIS�RY COMMISSI�N - February 27, 2Q23, Meeting Minutes rena�ation and maintenance and updating and we g�t in there and there's a lot mvre deterivratian thar� we were anticipating. There are some sewage issues. 5o w�'re still working #hrough thase right naw. But they were nat anticipated as part af the renavatian. So you may see some work ovEr there, they've been out of cammissian. off and on far the last cauple af weeks, they were suppvsed ta be done and ready for Con�aurs, but we ran into same big unexpected snags. S❑ we're still working an what thaf means and haw big of a repair that's going ta be. Th�y are open right naw we were ahle to get them tempararily open. But there's a bigger issue at hand here. And then lastly, we ha�e our dog park reno�atians that should be startir�g prabably in April. There's a budget CIP pr�ject ta d❑ some le�eling, and drainage work over in the dog park. If you're familiar with the dog park at all, there's one particular area that always floads and gets muddy and the dags tear it up and it's a mess. It's a mess far the dvgs. !t's a mess for the owners and it means that the more the dogs tear it up, the mare the grass daesn't grow. Theref�re the mare mud there is, and sv it's �ust a sart vf perpetual cycle. 5o we're gaing to go in t�ere and do some grading and then let the grass came back naturally this spring as it transitions t�a�k into the Bermuda grass. Kevin's group will get in there and do some a# that. We're gving ta fence it vff far a cauple of weeks while the grass rees#ablishes. Sa, you may s�� some chatter prvhably be an incan�enience for a number of users. It will not close the dag park, it'll just �lose a portion of the park. 5o if yau do see something about that, that's why. Again, it's for the betterment Qf the spa�e and hapefufly, it �liminates a lot of that mud and that deterioratian on the north side. Th�se are my park projects uniess yau ha�e any questions about anything. REDDICK: I don't have questions, but ! did witness samethir�g at Golden Eagle in regards to the pillars that are heing installed. There's apen �vncrete that's pretty wide. Someane almvst fel� in that sa k don't know if we're capable of like, roping it off or putting cones because they're pretty wide and it's a huge liat�ility far the Town. G�ODWIN: Yeah, usually it is. I'm surpriserf i# wasn't. But I'll have Kevin take a loak. VARELA: For the dag park, did yvu see the pvst abvut someba�y asking abvut what ail those little holes were? G��DWIN: I did, and I have no idea. Kevin and I a�tually saw that and were kind of speculating on that one aursel�es. ❑id svmebody wear high heels? Aliens? I dan't know. Yeah, there's any number of things but no, that's nathing we did. It wasn't an aerating praject. RLlPPERT: 5omebody hitting gvlf balls in there. G��DWIN: It's possible. Anything�5 �?4551�7IE. VARELA: Dkay. �h, Gvlden Eagle Park Tour Repvrt, because I was nat there. Is #hat right Ron? Rl1PPERT: Yeah, an the 16th. We, that was the 15th, we alf inet most vf us dawn ta Galden Eagle Park. Yau know, shaut out ta the staff who sh�wed up, which was Rachel and Kevin and Da�id fram engineering and we had a nice tim�, it was a ni�e day. We talked abaut, you know, what the uses �f the park were o�erall, as far as you knvw, �eing a retention area for flood control. We talked a lat about past history of the park, the stvrms that have happened in the past things that have gone vr�. But mostly, we talked about improvements and the catastrophic storm that happened a few years back that pr�mpted the tawn to wake up and reaily realize, you knvw, what's gving on there and what ne�ds to he dane. To me, it was almost a blessing in disguise that that lcind af happened because as a resident and a user, it gat nat only the Town, but all the residents to realize what this is here for and that the mvney that the town puts inta this now will you know, it has been in�ested, they will, yau know, in the future, just take make sure they take care af the nuisan�e water that �omes down thare. But the new backstops were put in on se�eral af the fields, new fer�cing was put in on, you know, some af the fields, - 3 - • https:llotter.ai CUMMLiNITY SERVICES ADVIS�RY COMMISSION - February 27, Z�23, Meeting Minutes we went aver at lengtt� abvut the lighting. And at that time, they weren't cavered. But I know what yau mean. And I'm sure Rachel will take care of that tomorraw. 5o that should make a real rlifference. I thaught that the way that #hese lights will operate is going to he phenamenal for the future on of the low impa�t ta the neighbors. It needed to ba dane. 5o that was a reai�y gvod thirtg t❑ hear abvut. 5vrne vf the leveling that's gving ❑ver there. The irrigativn changes, the irrigatian improvements, some af the new playground equipment that's gvne ir�, k'sds were bvuncing all o�er the pla�e an that s❑ that was nice to see. To me it was nice to hear Ke�in and Rachel talk about, what they want ta da as far as you know, diverting water in the future and, yvu know, making sure it's maintained and of course with the tawn engineer being there, and Justin Wel�iy whv's a big instigator in this whole pracess as well as Grady Miller, ❑ur outgoing Town Manager. It's really enlightening far me to see as a#most a 3a-year resident, this is the first time I've really felt comfortable with that, you knaw, what's gaing on there and so that was just really nice to see. We were told about the flood control district, and you know what the holdups are for that drainage that's gaing ta �e dane in the future upstream. But it's really transfarmed inta a usage increase. I mean, if you dri�e by there an weekends, it's like a party e�ery weekend. I'm sure that translates into a little bit of revenue and yau know, not only at the fiefds but in town when people I mean because they're there from seven o'�lock in the morning till nine o'clock at night. Sa, you know, they gat ta ge# their gas and their faod and that kind af thing. So, I'm, it's a domino efFect with that. But m�st{y it's keeping everybody ha�ppy. And you knaw, that's the battom line there. 5a i thought it was a wonderFul deal. I'd like to suggest doing another taur in a few weeks, I'll send an email hlast ❑ut to e�erybody, and let e�erybady add what they want to do, maybe doing #he Cammunity Cen#er and the plaza slash the garden area over there and how that's going ta transpire, that's a gaod ane to do for the day, vr, yau know, we can d� the ather Desert Vista ar the Four Peaks Park. So I'll send another hlast out to everybody and get an informal survey, and then we'll figure out another time. But I want tfl keep these things going because it's just a good way for this commission to fun�tion. It's a good learning exp�rience, toa. 50, thanks, Rachel and yaur staff, yau guys are dair�g a great job at�d let's keep gaing. VARELA: Thanks, Ran. Vlle ware talking about it on #he way in so I don't knvw if yau heard but would it be possit�le to move tours to 5:15 pm? RLlPPERT: As the days are getting a little bit longer, absolutely, yau knaw, as we g❑ inta the spring. Sur�. VARELA: Thanic you. REDDICK: In regards to the park tour that yau had, did they discuss anything in r�gards to the engineers maybe possibly daing a presentatian of how the water would be streaming because I know as someone that is always walking thraugh the park... RUPPERT: The flvod contrvl �istrict of Arizvna has zero empfayees as we speak. S� the t�wn is in limba right now waiting for engineering to keep moving to have the flood controf adapted. There's another agen�y in the stata the Departm�nt of Water Resources, which has gat a little bit ta do with this flaod contral. Their responsi�ifity is �nly th� dam, but nvt, what they call a na�igable waterway. Sa I think the t�wn and correct me if I'm wrong, has actually e�en offered to pay upfront and then get reimbursed back when the money �omes back through the flood control distri�t just to expedite this whvle prvicess? But me living there and warking there fvr 3a years, if the town maintains what gaes dawr� the washes and gets it out af there and i feel really good, you know, both from all departments in this building will be ail right. You knaw, believe me, there were starms worse than the one that wre�k�d the park that had mvre water go through there. I mean, if yvu ha�e ever gone into the maintenance part af the building there and saw where the water leve! came, you knvw, at that ane particular storm, I'm - 4 - � htfAs:llatter.ai CDMM[IIYITY SER�ICES ADVIS�RY C�MMISSIDN - February 27, 2�23, Meeting Minutes nvt sure what year that was maybe 97 or 9$, vr svmething like t�at. 6ut the pracess is rolling. You knaw, we're cfealing with g�vernmental agencies, and yvu knaw haw #hey work. G�D�WIN: What I'll say Carey is, we are warking with same outside engineers ta help de�ise the plan and then the plan to run it has to ga thraugh ta get re�iewed. But ance the �lan is sort of completed, and I want #v say they're pushing like 9D°Io right now, they're pratty close. We can certainEy came in and have a Reader's Digest versian of that. Sa that if y�u want to get an idea, the real big questivn is cQst. And how much is i# going ta cast? How long will it take? Will it happen in phases? It will disable the park ta da a Ivt of these things. 5v, there are a lot af questions still to be answered that we dan't have the answers to yet. But ta Ron's paint, there are bigger issues as tv what we do when the water hits the park. Then there's the questian af what are we doing upstream t�efvre it gets here. And this specific part is really just about the park, the upstream and what are we doing with vur washes and dams t�rvughout the town is a much bigger question that's going to take a!ot longer. But regarding the fac� that they have done some temparary measures, you'�e prabably seen it as a park wa[ker, where they'�e expanded drop basins where they've created these bigger cvrridors #o allow wider and deeper flaws. And a lot af the things that th�y have done are helping and they're wvrking in the shart terrn. These are hopefully more long-term measures, but they're nat cheap, and they're not fast. 5o yeah, to answer yaur questivn, ance we have samething that's shareable and a litile mare appro�ed and vetted, we can say �kay, k�ring that before this graup. I think that's a gaad idea when we get there. WIL50N: Um, I have a question regardir►g paric tours, the park that's supposed t� be near like Sunris� ❑r whate�er. Um, I was wondering if maybe we �auld like drap by there and kind of like see where e�erything's going to be. We dvn't have to do it like, immediately since nathing's there right naw. But just for future reference? GOaDWIN: Yeah, we �an certainly add that. I'll have a little m�re infvrmatian after we get some direction fram Council as eariy as tomorrow actually, on what they would like to d� or not do with the future of that space. VARELA: All right, thank yvu. Llpdate an the Fvuntain Hills Enviranmenta� Plan. G�ODWIN: All right, t�e Environmental Plan. This is in yaur packet, if you guys hadn't had a chance ta IoQk at it. And I wanted to put i# out here be�ause it was adopted by the council on Tuesday nig�t. It is a hig plan. There's a[ot to it. It doesn't have dire�t impacts ❑n us, but it does have a lot o�erlaps with what we da. It talks a lat about conser�ati�n. It #alks a lat about bikeways, pathways, and non- matarized �ehicles. !t talks abaut conservation, it talks ta it has a fat vf averlap with what we da in this area. If you're not familiar with it, I was going to en�aurage yau to take a look and review it. Let's talk abaut f�vw and what we see our rv�e as �SAC as community services would be. !n this plan, it's not necessarily samethi►�g we have to discuss tonight but ! did want to put your eyes on ii and maybe �ome hack with a little k�it bigger discussion about that. I'll be honest, I hadn't seen it befare it came befvre the cauncil. So I was a little surprised, I thvught maybe we wauld ha�e a chan�e ta sart of �hime in. But that faeing said, nane vf it is unfamiliar, it cvmes directly fram ti�e General Plan, which is done e�ery 1 D years. So, it was done in 2a2�. So, a lot of it is repetiti�e fram that �lan. It's just pulled out and specifically identified as the en�ironmental �ampon�nt. It's a lot to digest. So I jt�st wanted ta sort af introduce you guys to it tanight so that we could came back with a little bit more deep di�e at a�uture meeting if that's okay. REDDIC4t: I was wand�ring why our pa�kets were such a large email yesterday. WILS�N: I have a question. Is this ane that was presented ta Council ar is it the arrzended onE? GaODWIN: it is the amended adopted versian. Gaad questian. - 5 - https:llatter.ai COMMC]NITY S�RVICES ADVI50RY C�MMIS5ION - February 27, 2023, Meeting Minutes VARELA: Yeah, beca�se I thought it didn't get adopted, hut I guess this is the amended �ersian. G��DWIN: If you watch the ping pong game �nough. Yes, it was adopted. I want to say four to three, but it was the hulk af it the most the hulk of it is the same, the changes are relati�ely minimal in the scheme vf things. But it was more abvut the idea that they feit like they shvuld be a�le tv review it befare adopting it. Sv yes, this is the adopted version. 5o again, it's pretty hefty. It's pretty lofty. 5� and I know, I think there'll be some questions. I think there'll be same ideas, and I'd like to gi�e it its fuil due, s❑ that you guys ha�e a chance to look thraugh it and then came ba�k and talk mor�. VARELA: akay, great. 5a, we'll add it tv the future agenda. PerFect, thank yvu. �kay, Update on the 5idewalk Infill Project. After I almost got rur� ❑ver by my Saguaro place where I would like sidewalks. G�ODWIN: I have good news anc! goad news. 5art of. I did ask specificaliy abaut that area. And yes, that is ❑n the plan. 5o that's good news. As Ran mentioned, our town engine�r, his name is david Janover. Dave is a great guy and he went intv sa much detail that I said, you need to come to talk about this and answer questians because I won't do it justice. 5o we actually have him scheduled for a fu#ure m�eting, prohably May to came and a�tually lay aut th� maps, talk about it answer questiQns for yau sa that you can get a little d�eper di�e and sense vf time and haw long thes� typ�s af prajects will last, what the priorities are, where the next facus will be. But I did ask specif�ally about your area in question and he's like, yes, that's on the pEan. Goad answer. VARELA: Thank you, because I literally talk�d about it ta my daughter. We were hath on it. I'm like, �h my gosh. Is such a problem here. G�ODWIN: Well, the gaod news is we have sa many presentars over the next couple of ineetings that I had tv push them tv May, but that's akay. That means we have a Iot of presentativns and a Ivt �f information coming your way in the next couple of m�etings. Sa that's good. VARELA: Great, thank yau. ❑kay, update ❑n tf�e Mayor's Youth Counci� Teen Takeo�er. PED01: �kay, so it was on February 'I 1, about two weeks aga. And it went fram seven to nine a'cla�k, and we had a Ivt af e�ents, we had, like a nerf wars ta inflatab4es, we had tie dye, the library came ta supporf far the tie-dye, and we had bvard games, video games, and it was I think arvund like 1�0 vr so plus peopl� shawed up. 50, it was pretty suc�essful. We've been planning this far like a few manths so it was pretty goad. This has became like our annual traditian at the Mayor's Yauth Council. We gat a bunch of vendars far a raffle a�d alsa far favd. 5a, it turned vut pretty well when it �ame ta that. And then as far upcoming events, I have them an my phone, �ut let me see real quick. Dkay, sa we ha�e the Irish fes# e�ent, whi�h I believe was in the packet �oming up on March 11. And it's an all-day event we're laaking fvr volunteers as well. We have a Musi� �est evenf service ❑n April 1, and then an Eggstravaganza event service an April 8, and we're alsa lavking far �alunteers far that as weli. Sa yeah, th�se are the main eve�ts that are caming up for the Mayor's Youth Councif. And we're just basically doing that far the tawn as a whole. VARELA: Great, thank you. Vllaw, that's an awesame turnaut. I think it sounds akay. All right. Um, �kay, LJpdate on Future Agenda items. GODOWlN: Qkay, sa as you kind of heard, I sor� of alluded to it. Next month, you'll see it down there, we're going ta have David Park here. He's aur Finance Diractor, he is going ta do sort of a fund discussion an money, what we gvt haw it's distributed, how the budget kind af warks. I calf it the different buckets that we have and what they do. ❑avid's great, he will, if you haven't ever warked with a muni�ipal budget, it's weird. And it's really different than when yau budget for yaur awn personal �r�ances. It's not like that, and it's really difficult ta get that concept. I think he expfains it well. So hopefully this wil! give yvu a gaod idea at tha#. And then I think the r�ext meeting will pr�bably focus - 6 - � � https:llatter.ai CUMM[]1VITY SERVIC�5 ADVISURY COMM[SSIUN - Fehruary 27, ZDZ3, Meeting Minutes mostly an �udget and on the proposed CIP for the next fiscal year, we'll talk a lo# about maney a lot about that, the impacts of how much we have or don't have and wYtat we're trying to da with what w�'�e gvt sa, the next meeting will really focus on that. Far the Apr�l meeting, Patti's wvrking an having darlc skies here. We believe they were available, so we're just con#irming securing them. So, they'll be l�ere ta talk about the Dark Sky Disco��ry Center, where they're at with ihat, what it fooks like, in terms of impac#s in terms af timeline in terms of again, financial That was frvm yvur guys' feedback, what yau wanted to know a�ouf, so we'ra going tv get them in t�ere prabably in April. And then in May, we'li laak at the sidewalk infill as wefl. Is there anything else ❑ut there that you guys were interested in learning about? So that's May, June is r�ally ❑ur last meeting. And then we take a break for the summ�rtime. And then we are usua�ly hack in September, in Septemt�er, Qctoher timeline, we're going ta be starting to talk about the department's Strategic Pfan because aur Strategic Plan and this grvup advpted it was d�ne in 2�20. It expires in the 2423 calendar, so the end of this calendar year. 5a, we're gaing to be working vn a new one. And "tt'll probably be this fall when it's time ta have y�ur guys' input and thoughts on that and then begir� ta push towards adoptian for that. 5v this fall, we'll be fv�using on that. 5o if ihere's any#hing yv� wanted t� Iovk at before we take our summer break, let me knaw. In the meantime, we`II do same park tvurs, we'll get same u�dates there, and anyfhing else that you want ta knaw RIJPPERT: I'm sure e�erybody in this building says tv learrt abaut the new council makes a differen�e on which way they will tend ta ga vr wh�ch you knvw, subjects a team, you knvw, tv be a privrity other than what o#hers did in the past. 5o that might be helpful to know after the re#reat if we can get svme infarmation at #he next meeting. Yau know what their thoughts and d�sires are? GOQDWIN: Yes, absolutely. I think tomarrow wili be very telling. I can feff you it's a very an#icipated Ivng day tomorrow. For staff and fvr co�ncil. This is why e�erything is set up the way yau see it today is fhat our budget retreat tvmorrvw. And that's sart af where we take the first loak at the bu�get with them. We talk about the proposed CIPS, i# is �r�t a formal meeting, and they �an't give direction they can'f �ote an anything. Y�s, no. But we can get a sense of th�ir direction, we can get a sense of, yeah, they seem tv support this ar nv, they were really not in �avvr vf that. And there's a Ivt at stake. There's a differe�t leadership grvup up here, with very �ifFerent pri�rities than we've seen in the past. We and I say we, as the department and Community 5er�ices, have really enjoyed a good relationship and a lat of trust fram our counsel. They ha�e put a lot of faith in the projects that we do, what we ar�d hQw we do them, Ar�d I think we'�e exceeded that I feel like we've learned, but when yvu have a new counsel, you have to start all o�er again, yau don't just autamatically get that. So we are warking ta reestahlish t�at and remind th�m, you kr�aw, kind Qf our tra�k history and wl�at w�'�e done and that we tried to d� we try ta over-deliver, you knaw, what is it over-promise? Na. lJnder pramise over deli�er? Yes, that's what we try ta da. 5ametimes it works. So that's our effort. Sa yeah, we'll have mare after tomorrow, they may want to watch. It'll be li�e-streamed. VARELA: ❑a yau? Da you ha�e som� support, maybe I don't knaw, in writing in lett�rs or any#hing to shvw haw important parks are to our cvmmunity? Tv, some who migh# nvt #hink it's as important. G��DWIN: we do in some cases, and nat in others, I'll �e I'll give yau a specific example is that we got a really great letter in a�er the w�ekend, yau know, aver the weekand, or really late last week about the dvg ar abvut the Skate Park abaut how excited this persan was far this skate park ta be part of our cammunity and that we're taking this seriously and redaing it. And it was from a resident who is a grandmother, if nat a great-grandmother, and talked about how her boys, bays wha are in their 40s still ska#e and how it was such a big part of their yauth and childhvvd that she's excited that the next - 7 - , htt�s:llvtter.ai COMMUNITY SERVICES AOVISURY COMM155ION - Fe6ruary 27, 2023, Meeting Minutes generatior� of youth have this opportunity. And so it came from a �ery unlikely person is where tF�at �ame from. 5o that to me hofds a lot of weight, �sp��ialiy when it comes �nsvlicited. gut that being said, there are still a Ivt af voices aut there that say, hey, that park shauldn't be aur priority anymare ar parks I�ak great just lea�e them alane we don't need tv facus on them. This is where I say, okay, if we leave them alane, that you know, we'r� moving in one direction ❑r anather, we're either moving 'forward ar we're ba�ksiiding I go, they don't really stay stagnant very much. Naw. Do we need to go? Can we work an different projects? Can we Ivak at things thai are a little mare and phase them a little (onger? So there's maybe not as much financial irr�pact all at once it's what we did with Four Peaks, that's haw we got for pay far peace was a fi��-y�ar project. It wasn't o�ernight, yau knaw, slam everything in with a bunch of money. It toak tirrze to figure aut how to do this, and get some grants, and haw �an we get some suppvrt? Hvw do we make the rrianey go as far as we can? I'd rather I'd like to see us take that approach. I'm haping that's what we can adva�ate for, and nat just scratch everything. I'd like us ta sustain what we've put so much wark and effort into. VARELA: Absolutely, that's going ta be my hope tao! GD�OWIN: if tt�ere's the apportunity. We'll ba proposing some projects, we'll get an idea and a sense vf what thase projec#s are. 6ut we won't really dive deep di�e into them until March. And in March, the March CIP workshop, that's when we'll start sharing ther-n more. I'll share them with you guys in the March meeting as well. So there will he a chance for this �ammission to say yes, this Cammission supparts, yvu knaw, this praject. And the mvre vur cammissions are invaived in tha# pro�ess, the more weight it holds t� be able to say yes, it was a unanimous decisian vr Na, it wasn'i that there are split thoughts an how we cauld do t�is. I think that that is a chance far this cammission to ha�e a voice in what the tawn does or doesn't do. It doesn't mean that they will always take that inta advisement, but we have to put it aut there at least. So, as we get up there on those prvjects I'If keep you pasted. VARELA: Thank y�u. Any vther camm�nts? akay, Update vn Upcaming Spring Even#s G�flDWIN: This is wha# has been known as 5tephen's one sheeter. We are hitting vur stride for the e�ent season Sr�ti talked ahout a few of them. Irish Fountain Fest is one of our biggest, it is �ne of the few that actually brings in money. This one and Turkey Trot are the only ones that have a financial compvnent. Nvw granted, Turkey Trat makes money like we recaver our cast frvm Turkey Trot, we dvn't recvver costs far this. But we do make samething we get at leasi samething hack. And that's all beer sales. 50, it takes a lot of hands. If you are around and interested in valunteering, we wauld Ivve to have same halp. You guys are spe�ial. If yau didn't already lcnow that you`re extra special. Because your c�mmissianers, yau guys can actualiy han�le mvney. Mast of vur vnlunteers are nat autharized to d� maney handling. When we sefi the heer ti�kets, somebody has ta take the �ash in and we are really short an those �ash-handling roles. 5a if you're here and you're a�ailable, Stephens like I'm in you came last year you helped us. Yeah. It's it is a lot of fun. You see s❑ many people and yau hear so much feedback, like, why don't you ha�e this beer? What about this? When d�es the t�and go vn? Why is #he Fauntain Gr�en? Haw about fountain ga like it's like you have to be a walking hook of knowledge. But it is a lat vf fun. An�4 if you'ra interested, we would love to have you there. There are usually two shifts, sa yvu dvn't have to spend all day if yvu dvn't want fa. Next, we have Eggstravaganza whi�h is mo�ing to a new park. That's probably the biggest thing about that e�ent. Et's normally at Golden Eagle for ages and ages and ages. It's always been ❑ut on the ball fields. But the ball fields are in su�h high demand that we wanted ta mvve them ta a different park sa thaE that Park was usable fvr tvurnament piay. 5o it'll be o�er at Four Pea€cs.

VARELA: For Eggstra�aganza, dv yo� have signs up at the parks letting peaple knaw about the park change? GDDOWfN: We probably will be getting those aut as we get a little closer. Because we have Irish Fest first, we'll probably wait till that one's past and then try to push that out. But we da ha�e a new MailChimp email that wili be going vut fhat wvrks each month tha# we've t�een supparting that. And then we have different targeted emails to families and things like that. 50, we will be pushing that aut. 6ut yeah, we gat Eo expect that as everybody else shows up at Golden Eagle hecause they're just conditioned to. We'�e also actualfy already had a meeting with a lot of our church partnars. Sa we have a lot of different churches that come aut and do crafts and games and stuff like that. Sa hapefufly they'll be helping get the w�rd vut fhrough their congregations and stuff like that ta VAREL.A: Maybe the library too, because I get their �mails. GDD�WIN: Oh, that's a gaod idea.

We dv a Iot of other volunteer e�enEs. We just did a faod there's a foad pack at the Cammunity Cenfer on Thursday. That's not ours. We didn't arganize it. It's just for the hast facility. Bu# iast month we did 13D0 meals, I think or no it was 13,fl00 meals. Yes, there were abaut 23 �vlunteers fram �ountain Hills that went down ta a big three-day-lang fvad pack e�ent. Fvuntain Hills was represented t�y a handful af staff and a handfu! of valunteers went down. 50 once a month they do a Day af Giving and it usually rotates on a Friday during the workday.

Sa it is more reg�lar and ther� I will thraw out vne ather event that's nvt an here. It is aur �olunteer reception. You might have gotten an email abaut it fram Kim Wickland, our �olunteer cvordinator. She does an event e�ery year and we da a thank-yau dinner for all of aur valunteers. Whether yau valunieer one day or you volun#eer e�ery single day, I'm going to thank all of our volunteers. And that's yau guys. Yau guys are �olunteers, you �olunteer to be an this cammissivn.

Like, again, we, they just baoked the cammunity center as the facility. We reached out #a try to volunteer like say hvw bacause they say they need 20� v�lunteers, but they aren't. There's nowhere to sign up. Like I feei like they just say come and show up.
