Fully electric shred truck, I'll have that here as

well.

I

mean everybody loves it.

You know, we had our one in the spring, and I believe we had about 180 plus people that showed up for that event.

Uh everybody seemed to love it, you know.

Between March and November, I've received numerous emails, numerous phone calls, numerous, you name it through the website.

Somebody found us on Google all asking about this event when we were gonna put it on again, which is what drove this event, the second one for this year.

And we're gonna continue to do this.

If if there's enough of a public outcry for this, we may do it more often.

But for now, twice a year in the cooler months.

I just hope I can get more people to you know pay attention to the city's website, our social media, anything like that so that they can see when we're putting these on and show up.

You know, it's always gonna be from nine to noon, right before it gets to the hottest part of the day.

Uh, three hours, as long as they're willing, we'll always have the garbage men here to entertain them while they wait, and we'll do all the work.

You just bring your stuff.

Hi, my name is Mark Horvath with the City of Sarasota Parks and Recreation Department.

I'm the recreation facility supervisor here at Robert L.

Taylor Community Complex, and I make opportunities for our community to grow, connect, and play.

Today we got our last final uh summer camp party.

Today's our last day of summer camp, so we got some water slides out for the kids.

We got plenty of shade and plenty of cold water, and we're just gonna have a good time.

What I find the most

rewarding about this job is the impact that we get to see with our community members and our patrons every single day, whether that be uh camper and our and our summer camp making a new friend or uh bringing a family closer together through a special event we may have because there's a lot of work done behind the scenes.

Doing surveys within the community, talking to those parents, talking to our members that you know come here on a daily basis and just trying to narrow down what exactly we can do to help serve them.

I love it.

That's my favorite.

I mean, I I wouldn't have wanted to do anything else in my life.

Like I say time and time again, it's very rewarding job.

Go

deep, go do there it comes.

I'm

Mark Fuller.

I work for the public works department at the city of Sarasota.

I'm a traffic signal technician level two, and I help make Sarasota safe.

We start every morning, we go through all of our intersections, we look for any discrepancies or if any intersection was upset overnight, and uh we jump right on it and get it fixed.

So

there's a lot of components in the intersection.

All of those communicate and work together.

If there was a lapse in communication or if there was any type of issue overnight, it will notify us, and that way we can jump on it first thing in the morning.

Right now we are uh resetting

the detectors.

We help keep the traffic flowing.

That way everybody can get where they're going and keep pedestrians safe as well.

That's a big part of our job.

It's hot, it's very hot, but uh

you

know we we stay well hydrated and um it can be gruesome though, it can be gruesome.

There's nothing better than than seeing something come to fruition.

You know there's an issue, you get out here, you get it fixed, and you can actually physically see traffic start moving again and clear up.

So it's a good feeling, it makes you feel feel good about your job.

City of Sarasota is a beautiful place.

Um my coworkers are great.

I get to show up every day.

It's

like

hanging out with friends, fixing stuff, and and that's what I really like to

do.

Um so it's just an all-around great place to show up to work every

day.

Hi, my name is Quincy Stanley.
