Thank you very much.

Thanks, Brian. Hey, good evening mayor and council uh excuse me, good evening chairperson and members of the event parks and recreation parks foundation. My name is Beverly Tucker Knight, old dog, new tricks. So u this evening come back with a a lot of answers and uh new ideas from our last meeting. So we have um I'm going to take you through kind of going back in time a little bit to understand how the parks foundation was formed and it was a good education for me as well because I was not involved in the forming of it. So it but I'm very happy that we have it. So the parks foundation is really young. We had a comprehensive parks master plan that was adopted in 2018. Many of you participated in those public meetings and that really got the council talking about how are we going to fund this park master plan. And at that time there were preliminary conversations about how to go after major donors, how to ask for funds and did they need to stylize marketing and it became a council goal. However, with the passage of Prop C, the immediacy of that, you know, really wasn't there anymore. we had the funds

we needed to get moving and take care of the short and long-term goals that were funded through through Prop C to take care of in the parks master plan. Then in 2022, the city passed a resolution that u authorized and I want to make sure I'm saying this correctly, authorized Darren was it the sale the transfer from Larson Ridge House of the Oliver apartment building to Oliver Holding Company. And at that time um a donation to the city for park use was um brought forward. I believe it was $50,000 later. And if I'm wrong on any of this, please let me know because again, I was not part of this. But then later, the donor, Michael Sansone, said he felt very uncomfortable donating money to a city from his charitable arm. He really wanted it to go to a 501c3 foundation. And at that point, the city began discussions to create a parks foundation. They used Gilmore and Bell to uh draft the articles of incorporation and then um in December the foundation was incorporated and then in March 2023 they had the first meeting and that's when um the chairperson and all of the roles were filled and then in 2023 in the summer the foundation received its official uh nonprofit um tax ID D number and its letter from the state authorizing it as a foundation. And then in August of 2023, formal letter was sent by the city to Michael Sansson saying, "Hey, the foundation is ready. We're ready to receive the funds." And then in April 2024, a redetermination letter was also sent. In that time, there was no activity in the foundation. The

foundation did not have money and it did not have a bank account. Um there is for some reason this is wrapping the bank account was established this summer after that. Is there any I don't know why it's Yep. It's not showing it. Let me go back. Yep. So there's a there's a bottom line that for some reason I apologize fell off the page and that shows when the city actually sorry when the foundation actually received a bank account. And what prefaced that is that we received a major donation unsolicited from um someone's uh um I'm going to say it wrong. It's RMD. It's uh oh no, Mr. minimum distribution amount from someone's um uh I think retirement fund. So that sort of made the urgency that we better get a get a um get a bank account. So the foundation was established with a purch with a purpose to enable the city to take care of its parks. So this is actually from the articles of incorporation. So it's exclusively for charitable purposes and that purpose is to erect and maintain public park improvements, promote recreational opportunities for all ages and that is um that's its main purpose. And then a mission, vision and goals is recommended for any agency. And for this we recommend that the parks foundation mission reflect that that exists in the parks and recreation department. And that is to create community through people, parks, and programs. And our vision is to enrich community members through active participation in lifelong learning, health and wellness, community involvement, increase connections to the natural world, and offer recreational activities. And then we have uh four

goals that we work on every year, and we use those to craft our budget, to drive the programs that we offer, and the projects that we bring forth um in the capital improvement plan. We have a question. Oh, sure. Um, so Beverly, the mission, vision, and goals. The are these the same as the parks and recreation?

These are the exact ones. These are the exact ones that the parks and recreation department has. And these are on our uh website. They're posted in our um offices and we use them throughout our presentations. Um, and I apologize. I don't know why I'm not advancing. Would you please advance for me? There we go. Okay. Did it go back too far? It might have gone back one. You're the wrong way. Oh, there's a ghost in the machine. There we go. Okay. There we go. Okay. So um as I stated we've received funds through there we go RMD that is the initial I could not remember. So we've received funds um from from a couple sources right now the first uh donor advice funds we received one uh one um it says bench and that is incorrect. It was for a tree. We received $250 for a tree that was planted at Five Oaks. We received two um unsolicited donations at the end of last fiscal year. one for $100 and one for $50. Those were from our from current park volunteers. And then we received one major donor, one major donation of $65,000 from um from a family member of mine. So that was the required minimum distribution. The financial process for the foundation is the same financial process and the same financial policies that uh operate the city of Olivet. So it operates the same way. Purchases, amounts, all of that, the process, how we report, everything is done with the exact same

financial uh practice of the city. And then for decision- making, for financial decision- making, the foundation, what we're seeing now, for example, the trees, the tree donation came into the foundation. It could when you have a donor advice fund or um other types of funds oftentimes they can only be made to a recognized 501c3. So that is why the $250 for the tree came into the foundation and then due to the low number it's going to the money is moved over to the city to reimburse the city for the cost of the tree.

And don't we already have an existing policy for memorials? We have the three memorial policy that was following that, right? That was crafted with the parks and recreation commission and was um uh adopted by the city council. And so the foundation is a vehicle to receive funds for those memorials from correct things like donor

right from donor advice funds. Right. So some people when they like for example oftentimes when um we just recently uh installed a new bench at Stacy Park, a whole bunch of neighbors contribute to the cost of that bench and they're all small donations. They write the checks or they give the cash to the city and we take care of the bench. But for other vehicles where it has to be through a 501c3, then we give them the information for the foundation and then the foundation accepts the money and then reimbures the city. We haven't done that very often. It's happened once, but I do anticipate that now that um now we know the process that that will happen more often. Um if we um if we have any grant applications, those would be processed through the executive director. The staff would write the grant applications and the executive director of the foundation would approve the grant application unless the application exceeded the amounts set forth in the city's policy. So just as when we make a capital expense over a certain uh budget amount or a certain purchase amount that comes to the council for the council to approve the expenditure. So if that were to happen in a grant application situation, same thing we would come to the foundation or um some applications for grants require that the governing board receiving the money actually adopt a resolution or something else. So, if something like that happened, it would also come to the board. And that would mean we'd need to call a special meeting for the board to um to have a staff report about what we're applying and to understand it and then pass whatever needs to be done for that application. So, just to um pop in, uh the city manager is the executive director um and then the SIP process is established. That's the capital improvement process. Um part of uh as we

talked is to move uh or at least have one of your meetings as the foundation in like February or March so that you could review that those SIP requests, those capital improvement requests and then they can be put in the budget and when you act as the council, you will see them as the council. But you would have been able to make those decisions as the park foundation as we are putting those budgets together early in the year in February or March. Right.

Thanks for um you're welcome for sharing that. I skipped over number two. Yes. So the capital improvement project the CIP uh when we work we start working on that as you know in the winter and then that gives an opportunity for this board to meet and to hear what the upcoming CIPs are and if there are some that are identified that could be funded through the parks foundation that's the time that they could be um approved and then the money moved over as part of the budget process. Yes. Then if there are any unforeseen opportunities, those would be also brought to the board and we'd have another special meeting for the board. So um at the off the top of my head, I don't know what those are, but they come up. Things come up and we don't always know what's going on. I think probably we could say that the soccer goal crisis was one of those things. Um and then reserve, we don't have a reserve f fund policy for the parks foundation because we've never had money. So um it is something to address in the future. If there's a budget amount that the foundation thinks is an important amount, like say we were to get another unsolicited amount of like a million dollars, I think we'd probably really want to look at it. But at the time at right now um we really don't have have much about um with that. Um before I move on to old business I want to see if there are any questions I can answer. I covered a lot of ground in a very short amount of time

wells. Okay. I got I know I have a question. Of course I expect you to and I would be very disappointed if you didn't. Thank you. Okay. Um, so one of the things that I've been thinking about a lot with this foundation, well, two things in particular. One is opportunities uh for the board to help increase the funds, whether that's at special events or who knows what, right?

Um, but I think there's an opportunity for that. Um and then the other piece is thinking through that although the mission vision goals are the same as parks department to me the sense is that the foundation it is different

right it is it is different but we're still in such an early phase that it's maybe not clear yet how we're different so as I think through the finances of the foundation. The question that I keep running in my head is, should we be focused on helping to finance things that are fairly routine? Should we be focusing on things that are special asks? Should we be focusing on things that are more community-based? And I'm not saying that it's an eitheror. It may be a both and. Right.

Um, but I think for me when I'm when I was sitting in the meeting last time, those were the questions going through my head, recognizing this is the first time the foundation has had money, the first time that there has been a request to use that money. Um, and wanting to be a good financial steward of the gifts that have been given,

right? Um, and I think that what would be helpful for me as the foundation grows and uh hopefully grows um and develops is to flesh out a little bit more um how we see the purpose of the spending of the foundation and if it is a more focused targeted spending or if it is just we'll consider anything that comes comes before us and I'm saying I don't have any answers to that. I'm just saying those are some of the questions in my head.

Well, I think those are natural questions and I think also wanting to increase the funds in the parks foundation. I think that's a natural urge. I have that urge. Um I am not the executive director. So, I think um it's it's you know it's it puts it's something I think the the foundation board needs to talk about and needs to talk about with the executive director and as a staff member I'm more than happy to participate in those conversations. I do think it's interesting that the three donations that we received, not the tree, but the other three were all unsolicited and they were just given um and they were given because um two of the the two the small donations that came in from residents, they just did it at the end of the year. They saw that all of it popped up and had a foundation and so they they wrote checks which I thought was fabulous and there are people that we know that volunteer regularly. Then the other gift was someone who was just incredibly moved by the by Five Oaks and what had been accomplished and really wanted to give and have that money used for Five Oaks and for the for the parks. So, um, and the only reason I know that is because it was a family member. So, I do think that that there's an opportunity. There's probably other people in the community that feel the same way and would probably welcome an opportunity to give. A lot of people give of their time and they volunteer in the parks on a regular basis, but as people age, they can't always do that same level of physical commitment that they've done. And sometimes giving a financial commitment gives them that same same feeling and connectedness. So, um I do think there's there's options for us to do that. But again, the foundation, it does not have staff and oftentimes when you have a foundation when there are annual appeals and other things that happen and when materials are prepared, it's prepared by the staff of the foundation. So, I think that the council really needs to um you know, work with the city manager and

with the staff to decide what how are we going to allocate city resources to that because it means if we're doing something that's generating revenue for parks and wreck, we take staff away and put it on something else. We have to balance that.

Any other questions, folks? Okay. Thank you. Do you have anything to add? Because I'm I feel like I'm speaking out of turn. No, no, no. Okay. Uh I think you um answered that question very well.

Okay, great. Well, let's move on because we have some other things to talk about. We have some old business. So, soccer goal update. So, uh thank you very much for approving the purchase of our muchneeded soccer goals. We uh placed the order. Don't have great news yet. They uh were in stock and apparently they are a little bit uh behind. Maybe they weren't necessarily in stock when we ordered them. So, we are uh working very hard with our vendor to get those goals here. So, I wish I had better news on that. Beverly, did you get a chance to look at the the other option?

I did. I did. I looked at the ones you provided. Those would not survive out. We could use those for practice. We could not use those for games and we can't leave them outside, but they would work for the um Definitely for practices. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Thanks. Yeah, no problem. Um and I think they might actually be ordering some for practices. I'm not sure. Beverly. Um yes. When when do you need them here by?

We need them before they don't we do we are in practices right now. We need them here by game time which is in September. We do um they told us today maybe two weeks maybe. So we are exploring other options and we are taking it up the chain with the company. So, see what happens. Um, uh, InBody scan. So, uh, last time we talked about the InBody scan, you asked some excellent questions about access and usage. And I went back to the staff and they came up with what I think is a great great program proposal for it to increase access and to and to help you understand what they were trying to achieve. So, the InBody scan that we're looking at is the um we're looking at the 270S model of the InBody. The InBody is um proprietary. There is one company that does it that is used for in commercial applications. There is another one that's used only in clinical clinical settings. So, this is the one company that does it for uh commercial operations. So, what it does is you can see there's two spaces there. You stand on it barefooted and then there are two handles. You grab the handles, you put your thumbs on it and you stand still and it actually scans through your body and gives you a report on your muscle, your fat, your body composition and it actually breaks it up by quadrants. It tells how much muscle is in each arm, each leg, and in your core. So, it's a phenomenal tool for people that are trying to increase their their overall wellness or fitness. Um, okay. And it the cost of the one that we're requesting is $8,000. So, expanding access. So, one of the concerns, rightfully so, was that it would be limited originally to only people that were signed up for personal training. So, in taking back to the staff, they brainstormed and came up

with what I believe is an excellent um accessible option so that anybody that is a member of Five Oaks would receive two free inbody scans per year, once every six months, and that then they can also purchase additional scans. And this is very similar to what happens in the private sector. So a lot of like so for example if you go to Orange Theory or something similar you pay for an inbody scan there you can get an inbody scan if you belong at Lifetime Fitness. So a lot of these places charge for the scan. So we aren't out of the realm here. Having it included in your membership is a fantastic benefit and we really think that that would be something that our uh members would really like and it also would probably help with member retention. Um then we can also use them in the personal training bundled bundles and as we do our different specials and incentives it could be used throughout that as well.

Um is this being purchased directly through InBody? Yes, you can only buy it through InBody. No. Is it any charges for setting it up anything or they just bring it in, play it up? You bring it in, you set it up. There are subscriptions that people can do if they want an app on their phone or if we want to keep the data in the cloud and we don't think we want to keep it in the cloud. Only reason why I was asking is because I I just Googled in the Inbody 720S and on their website they're selling it for $7,100, but they're selling it to us for eight. Well, this is with the printer and with shipping. Okay. Yeah. Okay. And once we actually start negotiating with them, it may change. We don't know if they have a government rate or not.

Understood. Because that may happen as well. Okay.

Yeah. Um, so with the with offering it to our members, we really think it will also boost our personal training. And our personal training is a fabulous program that operates in the center. And it is a something that we get requests for. And when you go through and you actually get the detail, it also helps people understand kind of what their fitness goals are, what they're trying to achieve, and it can help them tailor what they're looking for. can also make them um really want to have more personal training, which is a fantastic thing for us as we're trying to increase revenue in the center. Um this is a a report that you get. It sort of shows you the torso. It gives you a breakdown. And what's really cool down at the bottom, it tracks every time you use it. So you can see from measurement to measurement how well you're doing. And it's it is a phenomenal tool. I use it. Um I belong to F45 and I use it there and it really is fantastic. Um then we really think that um once one uh thing that we can offer is when you get your scan as you're a member and you get your free scans included then we could give you a 15minute meeting with a personal trainer to walk you through it and help you understand it. Originally, that was one of the reasons we wanted it to be used by the trainers so that it could be interpreted and people could understand it. But this, I think, is a fantastic suggestion from the staff is that you get that 15-minute consultant with the personal trainer to help you understand what you're looking at and what your progress is. And then it also helps the trainers, too. If they're one of their clients is using it, that really helps with their goal setting. You they can really customize what they're doing as far as their weekly sessions. Um, this used to be done by hand where they use the calibrations. I don't know if you ever remember when they would measure you with the arms.

People hate that. Clients hate it. It's very intrusive. They don't feel comfortable, particularly if you have a male trainer measuring a female trainer. People are uncomfortable and they really don't like it. So, something like this is fantastic. Um, and we really do think that it would help drive our personal training business as well, as well as being a service to our members. And oh, here we go again. You could please advance it, Jennifer. Thank you. So, and so why does this all matter? It really helps people stay motivated because it is real data. It's data they can trust. It gives the trainers accurate information. And it also creates a new revenue stream for us and it adds value and can really help with our member retention which is really important. And just to give you a quick glance at the numbers, we've only had personal training since March 2024. We started with one personal trainer, Teresa, right there. Um we currently have four trainers now with over 30 clients and in the last 16 months we've generated $25,000 worth of revenue from personal training. And our projection for the the current fiscal year is that we will gross $20,000 this year alone. That's our target this year for personal training. So we really think this is an important component that will really help us achieve those numbers. We set this target prior to knowing that that is something prior to asking to have an inbody. We really think that the inbody might um generate additional revenue on top of that. So um Well, our trainers charge it's by session and you buy a package and you can do a single single um hour or you can buy a package of 10. So there's different there you can buy the more more you buy the cheaper it is. Yes. And then we do specials every once in a

while. We'll do a special um where if you it's 10% off for like the month of um last year I think we did it for the month of July. So, it's um we get a lot lot of traffic around it. It's really great. Well, I'm using it. So, yes. Yes. Um I love it. Uh Jennifer has a trainer there as well. So, it really it's really great. I really really like it. You'll you see when you go in and out throughout the day, you see the trainers and they're they're fantastic. So, oops. So, um anyway, so I wanted to see if I could answer any additional questions. Does this give you a better understanding of it? And does this make it more accessible and more of value to our whole membership?

Oh, I'm not the mayor. You Well, watch. I think you've made a good presentation. I think it's worthwhile. Prior to a question, um, I like the changes quite a bit. I like offering it to everyone as a free option. I'm curious how you'll then market that because I think that's an important point because I don't think a lot the average person may not know what this is, the benefit. So, I think that'll be exciting. But I appreciate the extra information. It makes sense. So, yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I didn't even know they existed until I started at F45. And they give you one when you start and there's not an ongoing yearly maintenance fee or anything. I mean, yeah, I know their service if it breaks. They'll be there'll be service fees. Sure. Because, you know, people are rough on things. I understand. Yeah. Okay. My my brother goes to

My brother goes to Orange Theory or Fitness, whatever that thing is. They use that. They do. And they charge their members for it. Yes. Yes. And uh he likes it cuz he can track his progress. Yeah. So, I'm really hoping this works. And if we're doing numbers like this before we have it, I think this will be a good addition. I hope so, too. I hope so, too. Yeah. Does it come with a warranty? It does come with a warranty. Yes. How long is that? Um it's a minimum of a year. I think that I think we can purchase an extended warranty. We have not explored that yet. We really have not engaged with the company because we didn't want to start the sales English. It wasn't something we could do. Yeah. Beat them down.

I'm definitely all in support of this. I think tracking progress beyond just looking at your weight, which can be misleading, is great, especially when you have clearcut numbers like this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Mike's absolutely right because um getting on the scale doesn't really tell you much. And if you're building muscle, muscle weighs so much that that Yeah. So people get frustrated because they're working out, working out, they don't see a difference. But you get on this and it says, "Well, you may have only lost two pounds, but you've gained five pounds of muscle, so that's why the scale is not moving." Yeah.

So, I have just two thoughts I wanted to share. One is that um maybe there's a service plan of sorts so that if it does need repairs, I mean, that goes without saying with all the equipment we have. But the other thing is I want to thank you because you know the last meeting in July I think um you know when you brought it in we were all kind of like it the way it was being proposed was very exclusive only to people working with trainers and now I feel like our voices were heard you went back to the staff they really looked at it and came up with a great compromise and something that might even build upon it. So, personally, I uh I think it's um I appreciate that and I think that it shows that,

you know, it's nice when uh the staff member staff hears hears us and responds. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you. Are you asking uh the board for permission to purchase? I am. You need a vote or consensus? Uh no, we would need a motion, a second, and a vote to authorize the purchase. I would like to um make a motion to um authorize the director of parks and recreation, Beverly Tucker Knight, to purchase a go back one. I body inbody inbody scan for Five Oaks um not to exceed $8,000. Do we have a second?

Second. Okay. Okay. Do we need to pull the council? Uh, Chairman Clark, yes. Board member while yes. Board member Solomonov, yes. Board member Lewis, yes. Board member Pashan Helman, yes. The motion passes.

Thank you very much. There will be huge celebrations tomorrow morning by staff. They're so excited. Oh my gosh. We might even have our 32nd dance party button out. So, if you haven't seen that, next time you're in the center, ask to see it. Um, okay, moving on to our next item. So, last uh last meeting we showed um uh logo options and there were clear favorites, but there were enhancements that were requested. So, um tonight I'm bringing back options for you. So, option 1 A is the was the staff recommendation from last time. Option 1B is with the back tone down as was requested. So don't get excited or get excited because there's a bunch more to see. Okay, so that's one and B. And we can keep going back and forth between these. It's not a problem. Okay, so option C is reversing it so that you have the brown in the forefront, the green in the back. Option 1D is with the solid leaf, which was requested, and then Whoops. Oh my goodness. What happened there? Okay, there. There we go. Perfect. Okay. And this is one I threw in because I really liked it. Okay. So, that's the leaf. Then we as you asked for an acorn in lie of the flower that we had last time. So, I have two acorns for you. 2 A and 2 B. One is solid and one is a line similar to the flower that we had last time, the cone flower. So, um, take some time with these. We don't have to make an immediate decision, but there's one of these you really like, then, um, and I'm happy to go back through them. Absolutely.

I have to say, I love that one D. Did you Did you explore 1D with the brown writing? Um, I can do the brown writing on 1D. That's not a problem. Did you try that and you didn't like it or the No, I didn't try it. Didn't try it. Yeah, I think I like one deep. Second. Yep. That's the one. That's the one. Really? Go back a sec. But did you did you all realize that it's over a I did notice that. If it could still go a little bit on so the F is in the leaf and not on the leaf. Yeah, I could do that.

Yeah. So it it's So it's exactly the think we're all graphic design. No, it's okay. It's okay. Yeah. So I had to recreate the leaf to get it solid and so I had to take another leaf and it still has veins in it and I was trying to get it without the veins. So, because I was trying to make it as simple as possible. So, if we make a hat or a shirt or anything, it's really easy and not super expensive. Like the Olivet logo is very tough to get on um shirts as you all know. So, I was trying to get some really simple. So, is there a a motion for option 1D? I can't make the motion. What do you guys do? As long as we're still trying to slide it to the right a little bit there.

Yes. after it has you see I like that one that you did but it doesn't have any green in it one where you put the blue and tan and I like all about the green that's beautiful I like it I like the contrast but we got to have green [Laughter] we were playing with colors in our meeting and the comment was what is the color wheel opposite of orange and it's blue so those are Clemson colors yeah I mean if it was anything else I'd put that on a shirt in a heartbeat. It looks great. Yeah, looks great. But I have to go with So you you guys like green on green? Really? I like the brown on green. I agree, Maxine. I think the brown on this all.

Well, I you know, how about I email you all brown on green? Sure. That's fine. Slid over. You're a foundation. You're not a city council. They can vote by email. No, no, no. Oh, they can't. No, no, no. Never mind. I am correct. But I can send it to them all by email. They can look at it, but then we have to regroup and then you can have a 15minute meeting later on. Have to regroup. So, do you really love the brown or do you want to see it? I'd like to see it if you want to see it. We like the brown falls. Yeah. And I think it's worth seeing it just quick and after. Yeah, I'll do that. Yeah, we'll do that. That's not a problem.

I'm I'm sorry to crush you. Sorry. Sorry. I got so excited. I'm sorry. Then can you like go to your computer while we talk about something else and then while you're talking the minutes I can go do it? Yeah. What? I can go do it right. I have my computer. I can do it while you're talking. You have to vote the minutes from last meeting. Yeah. Let's do that. Yeah. If she can do it real quick. I'm going to leave that there. Right. Okay. Nothing like pressure. Impressive. Yeah. All right. So, now we're going on to approval of minutes.
