That was the minutes. ❑kay. We had our -- got aur numbers ba�k around 22,OOa peaple attending far the Cancourse in the Hills. That's what our official numbers show, e�en thnugh their estimates were a lit#le bit higher than that. That is the number that -- that our -- our computer system -- can't think of what it's called. Yeah, drawing a blank told us that we had there that day which was really goad attendance. That's a lot of people ma�ing thraugh when yau �onsider the park's full of 1,afla �ars and ha�ing 22,�0� people around them, it takes up a lot of space in the park. RUp�LpHY: 5o there were 1.000 cars there? SNIPES: 1,1�0. RUd�LPHY: 1,].0� cars. SI�IPES: Yep. RU�OLPHY: I was there. I saw the 2Z,�0� peaple I think. SI�IPfS: Did you meet eact� ❑ne af them? Yeah. 5o but it went really well. There were just under 54Q,00� t#�at they were able t❑ raise #or the Phoenix �hildren again. Every year I just hape that we can cross over that $5a0,0�0 barrier, and it seems like we were within, like, I think we were within 3D0 bucks one year. And it was like, ❑h, �ome ❑n. 5o but still a really good event and fundraiser for the Phvenix Children's Hospital as well as the town and the economic impa�t that -- that gaes a3ong with hosting an event that size. 5o that went really good. Want me to just mave ❑n down through these? CHAIR REpDICK: Yeah. I was just gaing ta say we can then move t�, yau knaw, point, or I shauld say b, e, and d. 5N IPES: 5a the Arizona 5tate Puzzle Program we just hung anather nine puzzle pieces a few weeks agQ n�w, 1 guess it was. 5❑ it's starting t❑ laak much mare full. I think we're Page 3 of 6 TOWN nF F�UNTAIN HILLS MARCH 23, ZQ2fi, COMMUNITY SfRVICES A�VI50RY CpMM1551QN MEETING MINUTE5 at about 54 pie�es that are left. 5a we're getting there. It's been steady lately. We've had several people that have inquired about it, and -- and s❑ we are moving through that pro�ess. But it is not going ��er and seeing it now campared to when it was just a blank slate, and seeing thase pieces start to fill in is really starting to take shape, and it looks really govd. �ur up�oming e�ents, this week we have aur volunteer reception ❑ver at the cammunity center. 5a that'll be a really good event. And I think she's clase ta 234 people ar 244 people that'll be there so it'll be a nice �ig event as well. And we �ave vur -- aur next event is 5aturday with the Eggstravagan2a and Tauch a iruck. We cambined the two of those this year. it's the first year we'�e done that. Eggsiravagan2a just seemed like there was sa mu�h setup up and tear down that the event was o�er in ahout 13.2 seconds. I think it's our re�ord, s❑ we like to try and extend that a little bit. 5o we decided tv bring in the Tauch a Tru�k e�ent with it, which ts this time of year, I knaw that yQu guys knaw, but our staff is running ragged almost every weekend and #hrough the week. Sv combining the two of them made it a little k�it easier on staff to -- ta hQst one big event �ersus two small e�ents and ha�e to be here multiple weekends. 5a hopefully that warks out really welf. We c�o ha�e a new �enue f�r that this year. This is the first time we'�e cfone it at Desert Vista Park. So that'll change that up a little bit as weli so hopefully that all goes realiy smaothly and Mather Nature plays nice and doesn't rain out the fields for that event. We'�e had that happen for our Touch a Truck there the first year we #ried t❑ mo�e it v�er #here. So hapefully that all goes really goad, but we are IQoking forward ta it. The eggs are all o�er the office right now, so we're r�ady for it. Con�erts an the Avenue start here in April. Every Thursday they'll be an the A�enue ex�ept far the third Thursday. And that ane will move ba�k un�er t�+e pavilion flver in Centennial Pavilion, but the other -- there's fi�e �hursdays this year in April, so four of them will b2 orr the Avenue and ❑ne will be o�er there. And then just a couple weeks aut naw, as Ryan told me today, sneaking up on him, Irish Page 4 of 6 TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS MARCH 23, 2fl26, CnMMUNITY SERVICES AbV150RY CDMMISSIQN MEETING NIINUTES Music Fest wifl be April 4th. We're haping t❑ capitalize on our gains from last year and loaks iike we're supposed to have same really nice weather again. 5hould be in the 80s instead of the 9�s or 1Qps ❑r �O�s or whatever we get up ta now. 5❑ it should be a great e�ent an�! we're looking forward to that as well.

RL1pOLPHY: Ke�in, you ha�e a presentatian tomorrow for CIPs that you're gaing to try to �on�ince council, too, so that might be an interesting topi� ta hear about what your future plans are as part of your narmal talking pvints. SNIPES: 5ure. Yeah. I'd be happy ta -- ta share what -- what we gv v�er as well as what the results are and which ❑nes are apprv�ed. We're going to d❑ the same #hing that we'�e been d�ing the �ast se�eral years of doing a red, yellvw, green li�ht mentality on it. 5❑ if we get green lit an projects, it's a g❑ for all the contracts and any transfers or anything like that that's needed. lf it's a yellow lit project, it means that they are interested in the +n the praject, but would like for us to come back with some more clarity. 5ometimes, like, ane that falls into that a!ot af times will be like community center impro�ements. We know we want t❑ da some more, but we're not sure what we want t❑ do yet. 5o they'll appro�e it into the budget, and then we'll come ba�k later and get Page 5 of F TOWN OF Fal1NTAIN HILLS MARCH 23, 2026, COMMUNITY 5ERVICES AOVI5DRY COMMIS510N MEETING MINUTES their final appro�al ta do w�ratever it is that we deGide we want to do. 50, like, the lights and fans were done under a yellflw light prvje�t because we didn't have the style ❑r what we were gaing tv da or what it was gving to look like �efore we did that. 5o we had to bring that back. 50 -- anc! then the red light ones are the anes that they're not interested in, ar+d we'll hump them ❑ut to either a further year ar we'li terminate them completely. VEREI.A: For the splash park -- I mean, I'm seeing it all o�er the connectian. What is the route? What's the reason? Is it really treating -- treating the water that the splash park cars't lae ❑pen?
