Discussion on Holiday Lighting in the Village of Indiantown
][00:55:13]
BY COUNCILMAN GUIDANCE STONE HAVE A DISCUSSION ON HOLIDAY LIGHTING IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. YES SO BASICALLY DURING MY THE DURING THE CONFERENCE AT FLORIDA LEGAL CITY. YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A FEW VENDORS THERE. THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH PRESENT IN CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHT IN AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND I BELIEVE I GAVE THE MANAGER THE PRESENTATION. BUT MY WHOLE THING IS EVERY CITY THAT YOU GO TO OUTSIDE OF INDIAN TOWN. THEY ALWAYS HAVE SOME KIND OF CHRISTMAS TREE OR SOMETHING GOING ON. AND I FEEL THAT INDIAN CHALLENGE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. FOR THAT, YOU KNOW, BRINGING IT TO THE COUNCIL. AT LEAST WE COULD DISCUSS IT AND SEE WHERE WE GO FROM. MAYOR. DO YOU THINK IT'S THOMAS? THANK YOU, UM. I KNOW IN THE AND POST FAMILY PARK. THERE IS A. DEFICIT OF ELECTRICAL OUTLETS. BECAUSE I THINK YES. W FEW WOULD PLEASE. I KNOW THE LAST YEAR BECAUSE THE. WE DO THE CHRISTMAS CARDS UP FRONT AND THERE IS WE HAVE THE AVAILABILITY OF GETTING A STYLIZED CHRISTMAS TREAT ITS LIGHTS AND I THINK WE DISCUSSED IT IN THE FRONT CORNER UP THERE WHERE THE PASSERBYS WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE IT, BUT THERE'S UM THERE'S A DEFICIT OF ELECTRICAL DEBBIE RESOURCE FOR THE RECORDS.WE HAVE OUTLETS IN THE GAZEBO. AND TRADITIONALLY SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, INDIAN TOWN CHAMBER HAS ALWAYS DECORATED WITH CHRISTMAS TREE AND CHRISTMAS PACKAGES, AND THE VILLAGE HAS INSTALLED LIGHTS UP AND DOWN MORE FIELD BOULEVARD AND ON THE WELCOME TO INDIAN TOWN SIGN, BUT THERE ARE NO OUTLETS ON ANY OF THOSE LIGHT POLES, SO NONE OF OUR DECORATIONS CAN BE LIT. AND THEN WE DO THE BUSINESSES PROVIDE THE FULL SIZE. CHRISTMAS CARDS, AND WE PUT THOSE UP ALONG THE FENCE. YEAH BUT THAT THAT FRONT CORNER WHERE THOSE WERE THAT SIGNAGE IS THE CIVIC CENTER SCIENTISTS. THERE ARE NO OUTLETS THERE, AND THAT WOULD BE A PERFECT CORNER. LIKE YOU SAY FOR A NICE, BIG, STYLIZED, YOU KNOW, CHRISTMAS TREE. WHERE THE WHO. THAT'S THE CIVIC CENTER. SIGN YES, THAT THAT SIGN OVER WHERE THE RESTROOMS ARE. THAT CORNER IS CONDUCIVE. I MEAN, THERE'S SPACE TO HAVE A BIG STYLE AND I KNOW WHERE WE COULD. I THINK THE OLD FIRST NATIONALS THEY ALL LIGHTED CHRISTMAS TREE. WE HAVE. I THINK WE HAVE THE AVAILABILITY OF THAT. BUT GET ANY SOLAR. I HAVEN'T DONE ANY RESEARCH ON SOLAR FOR CHRISTMAS. WHY NOT? WHY NOT PUT THE TREE UP RIGHT HERE? BUT EVERYBODY PASSES THROUGH FOR THE CHILD. YEAH WE HAVE ACCESS. I KNOW IT'S NOT THE CENTER OF TOWN, OBVIOUSLY WITH LIGHTING ISSUES, BUT HOW GREAT WOULD IT BE TO HAVE IT LIT RIGHT THERE? ON THAT CORNER. I MEAN, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA . BUT DON'T PART OF THE POINT OF DOING THIS IS SO ALSO THE FAMILY COULD COME AND ENJOY IT. AND HAVING IT AT THE PARK, I THINK WOULD BE BEST, YOU KNOW? THE WEEKEND BEFORE CHRISTMAS OR WHATEVER THE CASE IS, PEOPLE COULD GO AND TAKE PICTURES. YOU KNOW THINGS LIKE THAT. I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA TO HAVE THAT IT'S ALMOST LIKE A COMMUNITY EVENT ALL MONTH LONG. ALSO ALSO THE UNUSUALLY THE HOLIDAY PARADE. STOPS THERE. AND ONCE AGAIN THE GAZEBO IS UTILIZED AND YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW , VISIT WITH SANTO OR CAROLING, I THINK WAS THERE AND THEN THEY HAVE, UH YES. DECORATED FOR THE SEASON. BECAUSE THERE ARE ELECTRICAL LIGHTS AND IT IS RIGHT THERE. IT'S NOT A HUGE YOU KNOW, SPOTLIGHTED, BUT IT'S WHAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE AND IT HAS BEEN UTILIZING, I THINK UNTIL WE CAN. AS OUR PARTS GET BETTER, AND WE START DEVELOPING THOSE YOU KNOW, LIKE WE SAW AND WERE ABLE TO GET LISTEN, WE'RE ABLE TO GET THE THING. WHAT KIND OF STUNTED IN THERE? BUT YOU KNOW, I AM THANKFUL FOR WHAT WE DO THIS YEAH. YEAH. BUT YOU CAN DO THANK YOU. SO WHAT WOULD WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO PUT OUTLETS IN THE PARK? I WOULD HAVE TO MEET WITH THE ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR
[01:00:05]
AND GET QUOTES. OKAY WHAT ABOUT THE POWER FALLS? MAYBE CAN SPEAK THAT, YOU KNOW. WE NEED TO THE RIGHT NOW, AS I UNDERSTAND IT ARE ELECTRIC IS COMING OFF OF THE LIBRARY. WATER, WATER WATER IN POST FAMILY LIBRARY WATER DOES THEN. HMM. SO DO WE HAVE A METER THAT GOES TO THE PARK ITSELF? OKAY? YES BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL THE SPORTS LIGHTING. THAT'S THERE THAT WE PAY FOR.RIGHT SO WHY DON'T WE GET A QUOTE TO SEE YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE AND IF IT'S POSSIBLE? THAT'S THE DIRECTION OF COUNCIL. IF IT'S OKAY WITH COUNSELOR I MEAN, YEAH, I WOULD.
NEEDS TO BE DONE NEEDS TO BE DONE, WHICH PRICE ON IN MY OPINION, I DON'T WANT TO SPEND TOO MUCH MONEY, PUTTING AN ELECTRICAL IF WE'RE GOING TO TURN AROUND AND MAKE RENOVATIONS SILK, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE SPENDING MONEY WISELY. BUT WHY NOT PUT IT ON MR RAMIREZ PROPERTY, MAYBE ASK HIM FOR THIS YEAR. HEY. CAN WE PUT UP A CHRISTMAS TREE? IN THE MEANTIME, WHERE WE FIGURE OUT THAT CORNER LOT RIGHT THERE. FRONT OF THE LIBRARY. MR BRUNO, OKAY. HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY ELECTRIC ON HIS EITHER, BUT MAYBE WE CAN GET SOLAR LIKE OH, WHY NOT? IF WE CAN GET SOME OF THEM? WHY DON'T WE JUST YEAH. SO I COULD LEND THE CITY GENERATOR, AND THEY JUST PUT GAS IN DO YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE TO SECURE THAT? HOPEFULLY WE PUT A CHAIN ON IT.
SOMEBODY WILL STEAL IT DID DID HE? WHEN YOU WENT TO THE FLOOR LEADER CITIES I KNOW THERE WAS TWO VENDORS. DID YOU GET THEIR BROCHURES? I DID. I ACTUALLY I JUST PASSED IT ON TO THE PROBABLY SEEING IF THEY HAVE ANY SOLAR MIGHT MY GOD NEVER KNOW. BUT IT IS THE END OF SEPTEMBER, SO WE ARE LIMITED FOR WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS YEAR. WE DO HAVE A CONTRACT IN PLACE.
THROUGH THE END OF 23 FOR OUR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD LAST YEAR. YES SO WE CAN LOOK TO NEXT YEAR. I THINK FOR SURE IF THAT'S THE CASE, SO ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS THAT I DID LIKE ABOUT THESE TWO COMPANIES IS THEY HAD IT WHERE YOU CAN LEASE THE EQUIPMENT. THE I GUESS EQUIPMENT. OR YOU CAN PURCHASE IT. SO THERE'S AN OPTION. YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON OUR BUDGET. RIGHT, OKAY. IT'S ALSO SO GOOD CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU NEXT
[NEXT REGULAR MEETING (ANNOUNCE TIME, DATE AND LOCATION)]
