“I guess we're trying to get to it. What's how many fields based on your enrollment, your registration do you have? If you need an X size field and your registration supports it, how many does it support? I'm worried about the age. It's more about what their needs are on the certain size fields.”

“Well, it depends on your catchment area. You're not going to turn kids away. If you have Carroll County citizens, you have a big catchment area. That's why we have to make sure we have it done in an equitable way. Because you might be in a bigger catchment area if you're a rec council. Certain rec councils, they're not necessarily overlapping. So I know what you're saying, that it's not necessary. If you've got 1,000 kids versus 10,000, it's different.”

“Indoor space is probably a little more tricky, but it'd be nice if we all would be looking for opportunities. It's so much better for indoor space if you can hook it onto something that's already there. And I think one of the best decisions years ago was when they put the extra space onto the Southscope Senior Center. I think it was around $800,000 came from Rec and Parks. And because you're sharing infrastructure, you're sharing your bathrooms, you're sharing your parking lots. So the more opportunities we can use to take shared space and use it, it's very cost-effective. So whoever thought…”

“Well, and I think it's a good conversation to have. Because, again, it's economies of scale. And the times that we have, and I don't remember how that all worked, I remember making the full-size gyms in some of the schools. That was a brilliant idea. Because elementary school gyms, some of those, Freedom Elementary, you hit the walls. But I think all the middle school gyms we made larger. I think some of the new elementary schools were made larger. And that's a smart investment for the amount of money that it costs. So we should have a conversation with them. Ask them. I know my daughter…”

“Well, I'll tell you what. A million and a half, we got money. I mean, that is well worth the investment. So how do we get on that conversation? Can we contact them to say we'd like to have a seat at some point?”

“that it was done. I can't remember. It was a long time ago. But I know that school had need, and then it dropped, and we barely got any state participation in it. So it's a possibility that county commissioners might have said, hey, we're putting in more than we were supposed to. So it's possible. But I think it's something we should be trying to, Deb, if you could just get in touch with them, ask if we could have a seat. And then think, we've got to justify it and quantify it. Anecdotally, I think it would be great. But even for the little extra space for the coordinator, or if they could…”

“I was just going to mention for Krimble, while you're on it, It might be better for like you're the people that you are going to use crim gold down there. They might want to relook at the plan and just see and sort of sign off on it or see if there's things that have changed. The people that are actually going to be using it, whether their needs change, you know, you're Jordan and yeah, that's probably an evolving discussion.”

“You want to make sure that, just because it's a 10-year-old plan, that this is still what their needs are. And I'm just looking at Hodges Park. I'd also ask that group. I rode over there. I'd never been there before. I've walked by it forever. I never drove back. It's a mess. You have a picture of it right here. So on some of these, like if that was filled in years ago and it took a bunch of money, if it's going to cost so much money, the question is, is it worth it to do it there, or should you try to if there's somewhere else. I've been on, I've tried, I talked to the state, I had a call…”

“It might not be worth it. We could put solar. If it doesn't work, maybe put solar farm there or something.”

“And I think that piece is missing. And the other thing is, in the long term, I know in Loudoun County, where my granddaughter plays, Every one of the high schools have beautiful turf fields. My granddaughter is seven. She said she'd never play on grass again. But they use those all weekend. And the little kids play sideways. And they have just tape that goes on the ground. So they can have four games at a time. And so it's used constantly by the community. So I don't know if there's a long-term plan. The school system sort of valued that a number of years ago. But it's something to think…”

“All right, and I've got it on there. Okay, so I've got it on my counter. So yes, I'm gonna go to the community college thing, and then I'll probably go to the Arts Council since I'm already up here.”

“You can tell I'm not with the times because I don't know what a swish mellow is, but I see it. First, I want to thank Commissioner Gordon for bringing up Mike Hardesty. I did not know he was retiring, and Mike, clearly, everything you said about him is true, and he's been around so long helping our developmentally disabled and then doing so many other things in the community, and he deserves to retire, but he really will be missed, and he is an example of those unsung heroes that are there every day taking care of folks that need it. Also, Congressman Olszewski is in Carroll County today…”

“We have a month, which we already talked about the month, which is the annual recovery month. And we also have today, International Overdose Awareness Day, and this is the proclamation for that. International Overdose Awareness Day. Whereas International Overdose Awareness Day is observed annually on August 31st and is the world's largest campaign to end overdose, remember those lost, acknowledge the grief of loved ones, and renew a commitment to end overdose and related harms. And whereas the overdose crisis shatters not only families but communities, highlighting the importance of…”

“And I had a question. I asked the question, I guess, during the water resources element, which we do every 10 years. I think most of us don't realize how really important these plans are. Really, really important, because that's your water. It's what we're looking at in the future, and then this is obviously just the amendment for the update. But a bigger question, when we do these plans, whether it's the water or the sewer part of it, the big plans, how do you anticipate? I know Westminster's got their water reuse project that they're building. At what point with that or an expansion or an…”

“And then I'm thinking about water, because I drove by the other day and saw the water reuse plant going up. So at what point, when that comes online, would that come into its just available capacity? It just would go in the books? How does that get worked into at what point?”
