Really close. She was all too chunky to be what she was at.
Yeah. It's 812-610-0137. Go ahead.
I've been chatting about that sign. It's going to be very expensive. Okay. Call this meeting to order.
First up is presentations by the public. Beth, you were up in here first. Beth Bradley on behalf of Our Lady of the Catholic Church.
We have a community building rented for the 27th for a church picnic, and we want permission to have a mass. Just outside, on the south side of the building, in that grass area. We used it last year instead of the bandstand, and it worked out really well.
No problem.
You've got to make a motion.
What was the date?
I'm sorry. 2027.
Thank you.
I'll second that.
Okay, we've got a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Motion carries. That was easy.
That's easy, right? Yes. Have a good evening.
Can't say no to the Lord. No. It's cloudy outside.
Yeah, I just washed my truck today, and then it got rained on. All right, you all ready? You all ready, yes. All right, Eric Shepard with the American Legion. Last time I was in here, we had presented the idea about doing a burn pit for our flag retirement ceremonies at the Hill of Heroes. And... And then it was left that we needed to put a lid on that, a locking lid. And we have a design for expanded metal. And we can make that work. We can definitely accommodate that without any problems. Okay.
So that pitch is going to have like sidewalks around it?
I've got the, Kip's got the pictures of it or just a rendering of what it is.
Yeah, I think that's what I can see.
It'll be pretty big. It's a dryer basket off of a wash plant. Oh, right, right. It's like five feet. Yeah, and then we're going to put some pavers around it to make it look nice. It'll go in the ground just a little bit, and that's going to be exclusive for our ceremonies. We wanted to put a plaque out there. for that?
That's what I was just getting ready to say. We probably ought to plaque it so that people know what it is, not trying to say, hey, we want any of your things so we can have a fire out here.
Yeah, that's our plan and our vision for it. And we've already got that big dryer basket donated to us, which is cool because the whole thing's made out of stainless. It's a beast.
And you guys will maintain it, correct, and keep it if something...
If he needs to weenie around it? No, no, no. I'm just saying... The structure itself.
The structure itself. If something falls apart, you guys are going to...
Yes, we'll do it. Okay. We can deal with that. Do you have anything else for me on that one?
I think one thing I would just be concerned about are people, like kids, jumping on it and jumping off of it. I mean, about how high should maximum height be? I mean, I would be curious about how you're going to put it in the ground.
So the basket itself is sitting ground level. It's probably about three and a half feet. And we planned on... We needed to get a solid foundation, put some firebrick and all that in there. So we're planning on digging that down just a little bit. I would say your maximum height on it is probably going to be somewhere around 2 1⁄2 feet.
Okay. I just wanted what the threshold would be like on a playground equipment, you know, because that would be the equivalent of that, of somebody falling, a child. I'm just thinking of a kid that would break a leg, and then where is that? You know what I'm saying? Right. Fair point. I'm just saying I just think we need to know... a pretty decent number. You know what I'm saying? So I'm not opposed to it. That's what I'm trying to say. I just think we didn't know about how high can we have that just in case somebody would fall off of it.
But if it's two foot, that's about the same as a park bench. If it's two and a half foot, that's three. That's about the same as a park bench.
Yeah, I'm fine with that. 30 inches, two and a half.
Can you all just tell me which... If you say it's three foot tall, 36 inches... Correct.
And it's five foot round.
So if you're going to dig it down, you're going to go down a foot probably, a foot or so to put it in the ground.
Sorry, that's my old insurance license brain just thinking the probability.
That wouldn't be much higher than a park bench.
Yeah, that's all I would be concerned about is just safety. Because you know what kid's going to get up on that. Sure.
We get sued for everything. Yeah, exactly.
If you go too low, they're going to try to jump it on their bus. If you go too high, then they'll trip on it.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
No, I just don't know what the highest mountain should be out of the ground. That's the only thing I would like to see. It's something to just think about. All right. Yep. Yeah, I don't know, 24, 30 inches. Yeah, 24, 30 inches would probably be, that's two foot, two and a half foot, probably fine.
And did you all have a preference on where that would be located around there?
We'll need to get together and kind of meet up there and pinpoint it down. We've got to look at how close it's to things, make sure we can get a mower in between objects and things like that.
So we'll leave that to you two.
Right.
Okay. So we've got a presentation for Legion to put the burn pit at the Hill of Heroes. Motion for that? I'll make a motion. Motion to second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Motion carries. Easy peasy.
Thank you guys.
I did have one other order of business for you two. uh now this is for the auxiliary but marsha couldn't be here tonight so i'm speaking on behalf of her all three organizations wanted to do a time capsule and they wanted the hill of heroes as a backup location our plan was to put one at the post but we don't know how quite how we're going to accommodate that just yet with all the construction and everything like that so they were looking for a secondary site as a backup if we couldn't do that based on how our the parking lot and all that stuff and it'll have a vault, like a stainless vault. We've already got that. We've got a couple sizes picked out, but we're wanting to put our stuff in it as it pertains to the post and the city and the former officers of the post and challenge coins, ribbons, letters, stuff like that, pictures, something to commemorate us and the Legion and also the VFW too. and they were inquiring as to if we could propose that we use the Hill of Heroes as a secondary site, it would be mounted flush and have a plaque similar to how a veteran's grave would be set up. Like a piece of grant or something like that?
concrete around, lid-like.
Yeah, I don't know what the details of it are, what it's exactly going to look like, but I got a rough idea. They were just thinking more like, you know, just a plaque like you'd have at the cemetery, but if you all want us to church it up and make it look really good, then just say it. And I'll push them in that direction. Yeah, I'm thinking something of more could just go right over top of it, and it wouldn't be an issue. Just flush mount it with the ground and call it good.
You say you're going to try it at your place first?
Yeah, if we can, our place, if we can pull that off. We've got a lot of unknowns with this construction project because the bomber house is coming down next to us and I've got the contract signed for that and then the plan is to take our existing parking lot and we're going to blow through that retaining wall. We're going to redo all that and do a big L shape around the building. And I don't know how that's going to work foundationally and all that stuff and the way that the parking lot's got to be poured and just where exactly that would go.
Didn't they do America's 250 time capsule this year too?
Yeah, that's at the museum.
That's at the museum. I just knew there was another time capsule. Are you wanting to do it next year or this year, the end of this year? 26 or 27? This year. 26.
Yeah, we're wanting to get it in while we're at the 250 mark.
I have some reservations just because we're opening up.
Right.
You know, who else wants to do one? That's my only... Now, this is specific to our area. I know, but I'm just saying, if somebody else says, well, you let them do one, I want to put one over here, and I want to put one over here, and I want to put one over here, that's all I'm saying.
Right, okay.
What about there on Meridian, at that little park? On 2nd Street? On 2nd Street, I mean. Up by the moose used to be out by the scooters. Yeah, I don't know much about the property. There is a body buried there. Oh, really? Yeah. Revolutionary War. Go up and look at the stone and tell y'all about it. He was a doctor.
It's by Scooters.
This is Second Street right here. It was over there at the top of the hill and you'll come to the T. Look off to your left, you'll see a big rock. And it's got a bench there.
Okay, I didn't know that was there.
The family gave it to the city for a dollar umpteen years ago. The city owned the property and they buried their own there. In my understanding, there's only been one.
Okay. And let me ask, is it possible, have you talked to any of the 250 people? Is there any way to combine? I mean, I'm not, I know you're one, you say all three organizations, you're talking VFW, you're talking about you guys. Just us and VFW. Just you and VFW, yeah.
So we're not getting in on the 250 thing in the museum. We're not going to be involved in that one.
I got you, okay. I was just, I didn't know if that was possible. So I just thought I'd ask.
And that's already done.
Yeah, yeah, I knew they were.
Yeah, we're looking to do our own thing.
I got you. I kind of agree with Jeff, though, is that if we do that for you and then somebody else wants to put it in our time castle, we are opening ourselves up to have a bunch of plaques.
We've got stipulations now for planting trees and plaques and that kind of stuff, so I don't know where that would fall into that realm. Yeah.
Is there any other place that we could, that we have any places that could do something like that, where we have almost like time castles?
No, it don't matter where you put it, you're still opening yourself up to something. So if you move it somewhere else and you're not worried about opening it, it makes no difference of where you put it.
Exactly, yeah, it's still the same mission for us.
It's the same way up there like at the...
monument up there you know it makes no difference if you put it there you put it east side or longfellow or whatever it's the same right but if you're worried about but the hill is veterans that's why i don't want to say that specifically it's for that purpose right into so so anybody else would come up to them this is for veterans yeah it was carved out for the veterans that's why it's there yeah i just i was throwing that out there no you're right though i'm glad you thought of that but um
But it is for the veterans.
I guess my point of view would be let's table this until you know you can't put it where you want to put it. That's your new place.
Okay. My thing is with the new parking lot, that's all going to be concrete. Yeah. And it's going to go right up next to the building. And I don't know about carving out a specific spot for where it's going to be because I don't know quite where everything's going to go. I was working on the grade change. Yeah.
Hey, you're going to do that with the grade changer. Yeah. another consideration. You don't have like a ramp that goes up?
Yeah, it's going to go up.
So there's going to be like a retaining wall that's going to come out so far and then your ramp?
So the retaining wall is going to be on the perimeter of it. That's going to butt up next to the city's parking lot. So you're going to dig all that out. Yeah, and then there's going to be a retaining wall that comes down the side of Napa. So nobody whiskey throttles it into it. Because it's going to be a one-way in, one-way out. If we're going to have those spaces out, I figure I'll get about 40 spaces out of it.
We may be able to put it in a retaining wall.
That's what I was just thinking. Could you...
instead of putting it down on the retaining wall is a little grass right there pull in there it could be so maybe we didn't have to dig it so this is all unknowns uh as of right now my first thing is getting the house tore down and i just got that contract inked and we're good well being being over in november until you start digging around you know you know it's just like when they did the commons there was a lot of unknowns yeah you know so and they found a lot of them yeah it'd be nice a little area i don't know what all concrete that's what we're going to be nice to get a little area though in the parking lot grass area where you had your flag a flagpole and we might even be able to do it in the sidewalk because indot is going to come through in 29 to 31 is their time frame and they're ripping out uh 57 just like yeah highway 50. yeah and they're they're going deep and they're going to report the sidewalk know that might be the opportunity to do it because they were looking at putting grass into the sidewalk from the schematics I got from the state I said don't put grass put gravel in there I don't want to be doing the responsibility but unless the city's gonna handle it So there's a possibility we can do that there, but we did want to do something special for the 250, and if we get outside of this 250 window, we're going to be in the 251 or 252 by the time we can get our box in the ground.
of moving parts to them given where we're at well once he said just see what everything transpires on well you could always have your time capsule seal it sealed and then when you actually put it in yeah you still seal it it's just burying it of what what year you bury it yeah you know and if you wanted to put it in your sidewalk you got it ready Yeah, you can have it in there. Have it ready when you do the sidewalk there right outside of your place, you know, so still doing it in the 250th.
You can still stamp the date back to 250, too. Yeah. It's taking plenty of time. You actually did do the actual end of 250.
Our primary was to have it on the property, but we weren't.
Heroes is a backup. And we're still, we just formed our own council on this internally to sit through and hash out these details. Let's see what you're all going to put in. Yeah, that's awesome. But I wanted to bring that to your attention.
I would just advise, let's see what happens. Come back to us if it's something that's not going to work.
You'll have more details of what it's going to look like, what you're going to do. We'll do it. You know.
We're not opposed to it, but, you know, it's really better for you to have it at your site, too. Yeah.
You know. But, yeah. It'd be nice if you guys had it where you could incorporate a little bit of grass, very small. Yeah. We can have a flagpole and have it in front of the flagpole. You want to mow it? Hey, you get anybody to get somebody something for a beer. Are you up? Free beer, free beer, son. Two bucks, three bucks.
Thank you all for that fire pit at the hill here. I'll get with you later.
You got my number. Just call me and we'll go up and we'll have your measurements so we can kind of lay it out in different areas and see what fits best. Because there is some water lines up there that we have to work around. There's a sewer line. So definitely want to work around those.
But the time counts. Put a sidewalk around the fire pit. Put it right next to the fire pit.
Well, there was talk about putting it underneath of it. Okay. That means in 50 years we're lifting that thing back out.
Well, I mean, say if you put it on your carpet and you pour a sidewalk.
It won't be you.
I'm 41.
I'm 91 by the time this steps. It won't be you. You might be sitting in nursing home like, hey, why is that put down here?
High five. No, they're going to get him out. They're going to let him out there.
Yeah, they're going to let him out there.
Yeah, if you put it on the sidewalk. Yeah, you'll be there. If I go sidewalk. You'll be on that carpet.
I don't want to be there. And I'll be honest with you, Steve, we're not opposed to putting something like that around that fire pit and really make it look nice. That was our goal with it.
Because if you're doing the ceremony, you don't want to stand in white grass. So if you went, say, just went two foot around it with a sidewalk around it,
painters or something, make it look really nice.
And then plant your time capsule next to it.
Eventually, walking down the road, they could plant other time capsules around that hole.
I know you're kind of constrained on your time, but you could even sell bricks with veterans' names.
You've got to have plenty of them.
That would pay for it. That's something that we're doing when we're tearing down Bomber's house, was we're going to retain some of the bricks off of close to the building to do that. It's going to have a lot of brick on it. The time frame of the guy being in there doing the demo, he said two days, he's in and out. And it's done.
Once he goes, it's going to go quick. All right. Well, the members, if there's a ground or some place to where they can hold it. It doesn't take long. He's not gonna sit there and just separate it for no, no, no, no you run out of here But I'm saying if you it hits one of the members had a spot they could take a load of but this duck but he's turning that throw the dump truck and
So I don't know how big this excavator is going to be. It'll have a thumb on it. I imagine it's going to be a pretty big piece of equipment now. It is. It's a big house. And that's just on the exterior, so when he knocks that over, It's probably going to have all kinds of other stuff.
You're going to have all kinds of crap in it. Yeah.
For sure. Web-based paint. Lots of it.
No, we didn't.
There ain't nothing in there. It's got latex. They use latex right there.
It was the first latex ever used. Who's taking it down? Jerome Gravers' name. Elite Excavating. No, I'm sorry. Elite Demolition. He's the guy that took down, was it the old mill there by the golf cart store?
That went down quick. You don't want to talk about something going down quick.
I got some of the windows out. That fence went up quicker. It's got really nice fixtures in it. It was fast.
When's that going to be?
Soon, very soon.
I'm keeping abreast of that.
I know there's a few people that want to bid on the old fireplace that's in it because it's really nice looking. Yeah. And then there's like curtain rod holders that are like brass or some kind of a cast. The doorknobs, there's some light fixtures in there that are kind of like shanties and stuff. And then that's about it. I went upstairs in the attic. There's nothing up there and there ain't anything in the basement.
That's one of the big ones. I got a smokehouse I built. I'm actually one.
I think it's something we could entertain if you're going to fuse it in with the burn pit.
Something like that. If you're putting the concrete down. And no one can really say, well, they did this. Right, they did the whole project. I would feel better that way. It's a workaround.
Than doing it individual.
It is, yeah. That's a good idea, guys. I like that.
Think about that. This is not just a hat wreck, son.
We'll table the time capsule to more information.
Okay. I'll run that back to him, and I'm sure that will go over well.
Yeah.
Because there were a couple of them that were talking about putting it under the burn pit, and I'm thinking, I think I'll pull that thing out, but you're right. It won't be me. It'll be somebody else's problem because I won't handle it.
Yeah, you could put it right in and make it black on the part of the concrete work.
Yeah, those are good ideas. I like that.
And some pictures of the burn pit being built.
Yeah, so we have our own historian in-house for two of our three organizations. So they'll be taking pictures of all that and preserving that. And that's our whole goal with it, too. If I had it my way, the downstairs bar, we'd rip that down, Steve, and then we'd do one of those epoxy bars. And he'd take something like this challenge coin I got right here. That's a boat that I was on when I was in the service. I got all kinds of these things from different ships. And just toss that in that epoxy or like metals or pictures and stuff like that. And then you get some, you know, you could get like whole brass casings off of the grounds and just decorate it. all that in. Pretty cool. It would be cool.
So I have two bombs from Crane. They're in my possession at the park. They were donated to us. And you can't pick them up. We picked them up with a forklift and about turned the forklift over.
Really?
They're that big. Wow. Oh, dang it. His wife runs the museum. Joe Crimp? Joe Crimp. given to us. And they're stamped with crane on them.
That's neat.
Love to incorporate them somewhere with that armpit. Put them at an angle or something.
That would be cool. Osborne. Those would be the 16 inch rounds off of like an Iowa class battleship. That's what it looks like. That's what I'm thinking. They're huge.
If you're out in about some time, call me up and I'll show you. We've got them in our lean tube down there.
If you guys need any stuff like that, Judge Osborne that runs the museum and Vincent's, he got me hooked up with the people that handle all the... the retired military equipment. Well, I had a piece. I'd like to have some naval guns out there and stuff like that, like the other posts do. Now, if they let me put a helicopter on the roof, I probably would.
I had a piece of equipment to go out there. And it was coming from California. Boyd's was going to go truck it, bring it back. And I got shut down by the council. And I won't say who it was, but his words were, That's a killing machine, and we don't need that in the park.
But years ago, there were... That tank that said Sherman's over there, they used to sit at the parking lot.
I sat in it many times as a kid. Yeah. Kids like that. Until they welded the lid shut because people were going in there and doing some bad stuff, so they welded the lid shut. We used to be able to get in there.
Sparks and Keys was conceived in there. Mm-hmm.
I got to ride in that little Stuart that we have for the Veterans Day parade and that thing was pretty cool. It had twin 500 cubic inch Cadillac flathead V8s in it. That was you. Yeah. And I was up in, I organized the whole thing. I'm a Navy guy and I've not been in a tank, so. I took my chance. And that thing was tight. It was tiny.
I used to work for West Baltimore Radio, United Sports International. This was back in the 80s. I actually got to drive it because I was the only one fitting it. It was a Ferris Scout. And we turned it into a, it was for demo. I'd come in, I'd pull in the arena. We did the monster truck stuff. We worked with the promoters. So I'd pull out, but that thing, five forward, here's five reverse with a Rolls Royce motor in it. Man, that thing was money's boilerplate. That thing was so cool.
They had this Air Force back driving that thing and he turned and got off the parade route and went and did South Street and ran the wrong way up South Street. Which, to his credit, he goes, we're in a tank. What are they going to do? And he hammered on that thing, Steve, and we were running probably 35 miles an hour. I lost my hat. My honor guard hat flew off and I never did get the thing back.
Damn.
Yeah, that was pretty cool. I was amazed at how fast that thing actually was. Yeah, you wanted to get out of the way here if you didn't get shot at. Yeah, and they modified that. That had a 37-millimeter gun, and they modified on the inside. There's a 10-gauge shotgun where they load blanks into that that's been welded to the breech. And he didn't have any because I was going to fire some off if he had any. That'd be kind of cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I got my dad's uniform stuff from the Navy in World War II.
All right, gentlemen. We'll get back to our meeting. We've been doing this all day long.
Okay.
So we'll table the time capsule until you get more information. Thank you. Okay. Minutes. You all got those in an email? One slight correction. Motion to approve is presented.
So moved.
Second. Motion to second. All those in favor say aye.
Aye.
Motion carries. Financial reports. Let's do that first, then we'll discuss budget as a separate item. Not a whole lot. Yeah, I would say pretty small, actually, for the end of the summer.
Normal stuff.
Any questions? Motion to approve is presented. Pass on to the city council. Yeah, forward claims to city council.
Motion. Second.
All in favor say aye. Aye. Motion carries. No old business. New business is our budget. You've got documents before you.
Both of them, the pool and the park. As I said, a lot of stuff came out of the park because of the commons going to the Board of Public Works next year So that kind of came down. Total budgets.
Why is health insurance so low?
Do what?
Why is health insurance down so much?
No. I don't. I don't.
No, it's not yours.
I don't get a lot in. No, I don't. It was going to be $107,000, because they were going to pay two installments. But they decided that my budget couldn't take that kind of hit.
So basically we're $10,000 less than last year?
Yes. Yep.
For now.
Yep. I had their first hearing on it yesterday.
On my day.
Well, that's not bad. $10,000 coming out.
The only big project that we have is... The tennis courts, that Longfellow that are terrible shape, or down at Sports Complex, they're terrible.
Again.
Yep. We did them. They don't last long. Once you get the cracks, they come back after you even fill them, it comes back.
Water and sun.
Yep. And then the pool, the big project on that is the slide, so they've been over...
It's already in there. Do we have any, for lack of a better term, reserved funds left in the pool?
The original? I don't think we did.
You mean when you rebuilt it? Yeah. We still have a little slush fund, yeah. We kind of keep that. If something goes wrong that we didn't budget for, it kind of gets me. I didn't know if we still had it. Yeah, I think there's like 72,000 still in that. Okay. We're going to take that for the slides.
And we used it for pumps and everything else in the past.
Right. Yeah. All right. The new slides are 185,000. Sure. Two slides.
Recreation equipment is not cheap.
Well, that costs me that new part. I mean, it's not always nice. Two points up a million? Yep. Yeah.
So that's the budget. It's just to bring you guys up to snuff on what next year's budget is.
All right. We don't need to vote on anything because it's already submitted. Yep. Cool. Cool.
Doug's Brews and Brews, October 2nd. I think it's going to be probably our biggest as the weather cooperates.
It does.
This guy, they're actually, the radio's jumped on board. 106.5, Bullet, one of the co-sponsors. So she's pushing ads like crazy. They're doing an interview with him. I'm going to push that out on the radio, an interview with him. Johnny James. She's going to have some prizes to give away in between the two bands. So I think it's really going to be a good one.
Is it country?
Country.
He's up and coming out in Asheville. He's got some albums out.
He's got his own whiskey, too.
He's got his own whiskey. Okay.
Don't make him know. Should we pass that out?
We're trying to get him to work with Al and to be able to sell it while he's there. Okay. supposed to be doing a tasting at the liquor store the day before but we can do 50s getting all tore up so they said it probably wouldn't be a good but turn it all is it 50 57 57 yeah How long is that going to take, did they say?
No, no, no. I don't think that's the question to ask. Yeah. Yeah. That's when you drop your car off to the mechanic. Yeah.
That's going to be a mess. Yeah. Yeah.
So pull the liner. The pull's done. It's a new one in it.
Looks good.
Love the collar. That was the original collar we wanted to go with. That was the original we wanted to go with. Told me I couldn't do it because it wasn't Indiana certified. The lady didn't know what she was talking about.
So the new liners that click with the nuts and bolts and screws and everything?
Uh-huh.
I noticed the water was down. Did you let some out?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, we had to actually fill it up and leave it there for a week to get the walls pushed in and get it set. So then we lowered it back down. But the company came in, graciously came in and met with them. The guy, he's just sitting there shaking his head from the company that we hired to do it, not the subcontractor. He goes, well, I said, I'm going to tell you where I'm at with it. Okay, that's a total get job. You're replacing it. Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to agree with you as well.

That money? You've got to install it? Dang it.
