“Okay. So under section... On the very top of the third page, that section B there, it shall be unlawful for any person. That's that item there. It says any person violating this subsection shall be punished by a fine up to 500 or imprisoned up to 30 days or both. My question, is this a jailable offense? Yes. So, like, an authorized representative says you have to leave and you don't, and they're subject to these things. If it's arrestable, I guess it would have to have a bond or else someone's sitting in jail. That's the challenge we have right now with law enforcement trying to enforce our…”

“Right. Well, I'm also thinking about Howard People's Park. People, you know, we have all that. It's kind of blocked off, but people set up in the back behind the ball fields over by the Frisbee golf.”

“Okay. One, two, three, four. So on the fifth page, hours of public access to parks, historic sites, and recreational area. It says county parks, historic sites, recreational areas will be open for use of the public between sunrise and sunset or at times designated by county supervised activity. My question is what constitutes a county supervised activity? I know we have at Howard People's Park, for example. I'm glad you asked one. People playing pickleball into the night.”

“I'm not trying to target Pickleball in particular, but I just think that's the most prevalent example I can think of. Will those be extended hours that are set, or is it just... when people are done playing pickleball? Because the lights kind of stay on all day.”

“OKAY. PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT SHALL FORMULATE RULES AND REGULATIONS COVERING these particular activities mentioned here on the next page. It says rules and regulations shall not become effective until approved by the board. My question is, are those going to be published and maintained somewhere? I want to make sure people that are enjoying a county park are aware of the rules that they're going to be subject to or could be questioned on by a county representative. So I guess are all the rules we're going to hold people accountable to, will those be posted at the park?”

“I think my, two more questions. So, cleanup event organizer qualifications and timelines. It has the provision here about getting a certificate of insurance up to a million dollars. My question is, I know in the future we're planning on developing some sort of adopt-a-park program where we could have organized cleanups. Would those groups also be required to obtain a certificate of insurance, or is this for hosting?”

“And the last question are probably more of a cleanup on the second to last page under public safety personnel fees. It just says if the department determines, I imagine that's your department, but I think we might want to specify.”

“Okay, so again, I think we should be specific. If the public works department or sheriff's office determines, being intentional about being specific about who's responsible.”

“I wanted to ask, so you said about $4,000 worth of profit on the previous, and then this one's about $3,000 worth of profit. It was stated earlier during public comment that you would need to perform about $2 million worth of projects to be able to afford the excavator that we have down here on item seven.”
