purple online and uh it's uh meaning will to the rest of us we can uh let her in and participate it's not time to vote yet oh it's just just happened do I get a vote I vote yes I guess all right all in favor aye okay success all right uh approval minutes from the previous anybody against uh citizen comments member comments I guess we're going to just expedite this uh you know how how long is your uh session usually take uh this with you all probably will take any more than 30 minutes because with the other teams it's been taking about an hour and an hour and a half because we presented them with all of the community engagement data that I shared with you last month this was their first time seeing all of it I only have a few slides to just bring it back to the top of your memory and then we'll get into envisioned portion.

So we'll have a little bit of time to go through J so my advice share um I don't have anything but I'm excited that uh about the contract approval for Rock Spring Farm.

That's gonna be super super exciting to see that come together.

Thank you so much for being here.

Thank you for that on that flick back on that we saw some comments online people were most of the comments online have been positive.

There have been one or two individuals had question the the dollar value of the one yeah I saw a couple of questions the dollar value slash size uh you know it not being worthwhile could I was curious is you plan to talk about that at all I was just gonna give it just a heads up that um it's not official yet council still has to appropriate the funds for it so the council has given a direction to to perform okay um do you guys want to talk about it now or you want to talk about it at that rich participants okay very good all right anything else just a question um Easter eye has it how long has it been $10 a child I'm getting off the push off the top of my head I couldn't give you that answer but it's been a while.

Has it really it's not a new cost.

Is that to keep the numbers in checks it really plus that much to I mean you got staffing and you've got that's the cootie bags and exercise.

That's no I'm just thinking of like the little littles you know that we'll probably pick up two or three you know it's those are the ones I'm hearing from that it's like I'm not paying $10 for my two year old you know so that's but it's I understand it it's in the afternoon now right instead of the mornings it's like one o'clock yeah yeah I thought you should always be like we searched the sound a lot of cold cold blocks okay so is there a limit does it sell out or um typically it sold out the past couple years those numbers though won't show themselves until we really get to the way the forecast where people can see that it's gonna be good weapons purchase what I think like 75 or 80 pre-registrations already for it which is more than we had last year.

Yeah it's just something that couple radar so I'm figuring that's that's it Ross I have a couple things one I want to put a little more time into maybe it's the second thing I'll hold up okay the first one I wish I had a map pull up but I I'll just kind of talk through it I wanted to ask Rich primarily can you pull up a map with it sure I might have a map already looking for a couple words okay yeah that would be helpful I'll describe it though I was just out for a run uh a couple weeks ago and I I thought of a trail connection in town it would it possibly could be good to have it might actually help us complete make make a better completion of one of our bike routes if you'll zoom out to close to um uh Douglas elementary school

That's probably looking for a Google or something.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, that would be helpful.

I'll describe it though.

I was just out for a run uh a couple weeks ago and I I thought of a trail connection in town.

It possibly could be good to have.

It might actually help us complete make make a better completion of one of our bike routes.

If you'll zoom out to close to um uh Douglas Elementary School.

Uh sicklin.

Yeah, it's right here.

Sicklin market area.

And uh this is just uh a thought or to come in, but plan a seed here uh of a break.

This should be done.

No, no.

Yeah, you go to the rate a little bit, bridge can't really double here's the playground we can go on.

Yeah, right here, that is right here to go up this a little bit.

Actually, no, otherwise, sorry.

Yeah, so just a thought.

I was running here, and this is coming like from the airport on Siclin.

Everybody kind of got me.

Uh coming up this way, and I wanted to get on the WD.

And the W ID runs uh I can't really see it, but it's here.

Yeah, kind of hidden by trees.

And there's a way to do it, but I've talked to you about this before.

Once time one time we were talking about our bike bike route, and we're trying to make a connection in this area to the W D.

And the way to kind of do it is you can cut through private property.

This is a private parking lot for an office building, and you can cut down here and cut through their lot and come in here.

And at one point I said, well, that's a potential bike trail connection that we can make to make a more complete loop.

You know, we put the bike trail on plaza and everything, right?

But what what I was what I what I what you had said was, well, we can't really cross or have a trail cross private property.

It'd be tough to do that and get permission.

Well, here's an idea that I thought of as I'm running.

I'm coming across here, and I realized that the old bridge before this was built, used to cut right here.

And I imagine we probably still have the right-of-way to that property, or some you know, somebody does, maybe it's DMB or somebody whoever owned that roadway.

But the old bridge used to cross here.

This is a creek, obviously.

That's what this is running across.

My thought was is it possible for us to maybe connect this?

It's a sidewalk, but could we possibly connect that to where that old road used to run?

It would require a pedestrian bridge across that creek, but it will allow you then to connect to the WD here, which would then also give you a uh a public access point to the WD from this area, which I don't think we have one.

So I just kind of wanted to plant the seed out there again.

It would require a pedestrian bridge across the creek where an old road bridge used to run, but it's been removed.

And that would provide that connection from the southwest, I guess, to the WOD any other direction.

So if you were coming to Siclin and the bridge has walkways, correct?

Yes.

Okay, so you couldn't use those and then go down as soon as you cross the bridge.

I thought there's this way you mean it's like a primitive access to it.

Yeah, it's very speed to connect.

Yeah, it wouldn't be a uh I I've I've not used it or not seen it.

The way that I know to connect is to run through this, come through this or ride through this parking lot, come down this way and then come down to the trail here.
