“I want to get things done. I understand. All right, Blue Run Park documents. Okay, create an Excel file sent to Mandy. I believe it's Rex's comments I also seen. I'm not going to go to Rex. I've just seen the two people that responded. Just by the wording, I was guessing it was you, Rex. I won't speak to your stuff again. But short and sweet.

“That didn't really have anything. to do with the park as much as it had to do what that had to do with was pedestrians right okay going down the sidewalk going down in that area okay and the same thing the kayakers canoers and boaters okay stopping in that area would be um but what it was supposed what it the purpose of that is all the pedestrians that were coming down and going down to that area Those are the folks with homeless people getting down there.

“And for all practical purposes, we presently do not spend hardly anything on that park. Marion County does the management. Marion County does the expenditure stuff that has to happen inside the park. Marion County parking racks pays for the sheriff's office during the season periods with the high traffic and all that. Marion County pays for all of that. What we want to do is... Since the money does come from KP Hall, we just want to get relief from that management plan and turn the management plan over to Marion County. The management plan can't change without FCT approval. What I'm talking…”

“Okay. This particular audit, if it's the same one that I'm thinking of, there were two audits done. Okay. One of them was after the property was purchased, there was an FCT requirement that there be an audit a year later, some other period later. And I believe that's the audit that you're looking at. Yeah. And since that time, the bike trail has been put in on the railroad tracks. The trail that leads from Blue Run Park going to the bike trail, that's all been done. Oh, okay. So that would be after this year.”

“This agreement auto-renews at the end of September. I was surprised when I read that, so I spoke to Mandy about it. Because anything where we have agreements that are going to terminate or auto-renew, we should know many months in advance so that we can take a look at the agreement and see if we want to auto-renew it. Or if it's going to terminate, You know, we need so many months to come up with another agreement. And so what Mandy explained to me is for stuff that terminates, they have something in the computer calendar that auto pops up many months in advance to give us the opportunity to,…”

“Now, didn't we just see an example of this at some point in time? I mean, when it got changed, there was an example of this, and where I'm leading to is, you know, we had an hour for this, two hours for that. Right, I remember that. But all we said was that those were just examples. That was not what the actual cost is. But just to show the math, if this takes an hour, you know, then it's times this rate for everything you just mentioned, and then there's the number. But the hour was not cast in stone.”

“First of all, the special events are not held by citizens. They're held by nonprofit groups and their fundraisers. So the purpose that they do this is to raise funds for whatever their particular thing is. as far as this ordinance this ordinance doesn't change anything as far as we don't have any cost the only cost that we have that the city not cost the only thing that special events folks pay the city for is whatever the permit fee is and it's it's Not really changed.

“That project is right on the verge. They're putting the signs out now. Last week they started putting up signs, barrels, and all that kind of stuff. It's not going to be a sidewalk. What it's going to be is what you see existing. They're going to put the concrete barriers up, like you see in road construction on the highways. That's what's going to go over the bridge. Then when they get to the east side of the bridge, they're going to put a gravity wall up, and there's going to be a takeoff. From that, they're going to put a path right so pedestrians and bikes can get down into Blue Run.”
