[Special City Council on September 9, 2026.]
YEAH.CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME OKAY? ALRIGHT.
NOT USED TO USING A MICROPHONE.
SO FIRST OFF, WANT THANK EVERYBODY FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT FOR THE, UH, SECOND, UH, CITY COUNCIL COMMUNITY CONVERSATION.
UM, THIS EVENING WILL BE FOCUSED ON, UH, FIRST BEING FIRE SAFE, SEDONA AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.
UM, SECOND HALF WILL BE DISCUSSING RECREATION CENTER.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAY FOR BOTH, UM, BUT WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR PARTICIPATION IN IN BOTH DISCUSSIONS.
SO FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE DISCUSSION, WE ARE GOING TO BE INTRODUCING THE INDIVIDUALS TO TALK TO YOU VERY BRIEFLY ABOUT FIRE SAFE EDON AND EMERGENCY AND PREPAREDNESS.
UM, WE'RE GONNA THEN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK, PRESENT WHAT YOU HEAR AND YOUR GROUP DISCUSSIONS AFTERWARDS AND, UM, AND THEN TAKE A BREAK BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE REC CENTERS.
SO BEFORE WE JUMP, UH, INTO THE PRESENTATION, I DO WANT TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EACH OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, UM, TO STAND UP AND INTRODUCE THEMSELVES.
THIS WILL COUNT FOR OUR ROLL CALL
SO, MADAM MAYOR, MAY I START WITH YOU? YES.
I'M HOLLY, I'M THE MAYOR OF, ALRIGHT.
DEREK, CHARLOTTE, CHARLOTTE, KATHY, ELLA.
SECOND HALF OF MY SECOND TERM TO START.
MELISSA DUN, COUNSELOR, I, PETE FIRM AND RYAN SWEAR, AND I APOLOGIZE.
I SHOULD HAVE CALLED EACH OF THESE PEOPLE COUNSELORS.
SO, UH, MY APOLOGIES FOR THAT.
SO WE'D LIKE TO, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, GO AHEAD AND JUMP INTO THE PRESENTATION.
UM, WE'LL START OFF WITH, UH, CHRISTIAN SANTA AND THEN HE WILL HAND IT OVER TO, UH, CHANCE.
MY NAME IS CHRISTIAN SANTA GONZALEZ.
I AM THE SENIOR PLANNER WITH THE CITY OF SEDONA, AND I AM THE PROJECT LEAD MANAGER FOR FIRE SAFE SEDONA.
UM, SO FIRE SAFE SEDONA PROGRAM AIMS TO IMPROVE WILDFIRE SAFETY IN SEDONA HOMES.
AND NEIGHBORHOODS, UH, THE PROGRAM HAS AN UNDERLYING OBJECTIVE AND THAT IS TO STABILIZE THE INSURANCE RATES AND ALSO BUILD CONFIDENCE WITH THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY.
NOW, THE OVERALL GOAL OF FIRE SAFE SEDONA IS REALLY TO PROVIDE SEDONA HOMEOWNERS THE RESOURCES AND THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO INCREASE THE OVERALL SENSE OF COMFORT AND CONFIDENCE.
SO, UM, THE PROGRAM EMPHASIZES HOME MITIGATION SOLUTIONS AND STRATEGIES TO REDUCE YOUR PROPERTY'S RISK AGAINST WILDFIRE THREATS.
NOW THERE'S CURRENTLY A LOT OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT THAT POINTS TO EMBER BEING THE MAIN WAY THAT HOMES ARE BEING IGNITED.
NOW, EMBERS ARE BURNING PIECES OF AIRBORNE WOOD AND OR VEGETATION THAT CAN BE CARRIED AWAY THROUGH WIND FOR OVER A MILE, REALLY.
UM, THERE ARE PROVEN METHODS AND STANDARDS THAT EXIST TO WITHSTAND AND PROTECT, UM, YOUR HOMES AGAINST, UH, THESE AMBER ATTACKS.
NOW, AS A SUGGESTION, UM, CLEAR CUTTING A YARD IS NOT A RECOMMENDED SOLUTION, SO PLEASE DON'T DO THAT TO YOUR HOME TOMORROW.
UM, SO FIRE SAFE SEDONA ENCOURAGES THE USE OF TWO HOME MITIGATION PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE YOUR HOMES, UH, AGAINST WILDFIRE THREATS.
THOSE TWO PROGRAMS ARE THE FIREWISE USA PROGRAM AND THE WILDFIRE PREPARED HOME.
UM, THE GREAT THING ABOUT THESE TWO PROGRAMS IS THAT HOMEOWNERS CAN OBTAIN A CERTIFICATION, UM, SO THAT YOU CAN, IT SHOWS THAT YOU MEET THE MINIMUM STANDARDS.
UM, STAFF CAN HELP YOU, UH, NAVIGATE THESE TWO PROGRAMS. SO PLEASE COME SEE US AT THE BOOTH AND WE CAN FURTHER DISCUSS THESE TWO PROGRAMS IN FURTHER DETAIL.
NOW, THE CITY AIMS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION AND AWARENESS ABOUT WILDFIRE THREATS AND ALSO THE SOLUTIONS AND STRATEGIES THAT EXIST.
OUR ROLE IS ULTIMATELY TO FACILITATE HOME MITIGATION IMPROVEMENTS AND ALSO PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT REALLY, UM, TO THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT COULD BE A VERY DAUNTING TASK TO DO THIS, BUT WE ARE HERE, HERE TO HELP YOU.
UM, AND LASTLY, WE INTEND TO COORDINATE
[00:05:01]
WITH PARTNERS SUCH AS THE, UH, SEDONA FIRE DISTRICT TO HELP BUILD A RESILIENT COMMUNITY, A RESILIENT SEDONA.SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I WILL GIVE OVER TO MIKE TO CHANCE.
THANKS CHRISTIAN CHANCE, WANT A EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR.
CHRISTIAN TALKED A LOT ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL, BUT LET'S SHIFT A LITTLE BIT NOW AND TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO AS AN INDIVIDUAL TO BE MORE PREPARED.
AND THAT KIND OF CULMINATES IN THREE THINGS THAT WE HAVE.
SIGNING UP FOR EMERGENCY ALERTS, SIGNING UP FOR, UH, MAKING YOURSELF A GO BAG AND THEN ALSO KNOWING YOUR EVACUATION ZONE.
SO THOSE ARE THE THREE THINGS THAT WE STRESS FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL.
SO WHO HERE KNOWS THEIR EVACUATION ZONE? WHO HERE DOESN'T KNOW THEIR EVACUATION ZONE? IF YOU DON'T KNOW THERE'S GONNA BE AN AWESOME BREAKOUT ROOM OFF TO THE SIDE AT THE BREAKOUT SESSION.
YOU'RE ABLE TO GET A BUNCH OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT SCANNING THIS NOW 'CAUSE YOU'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT IN THERE.
WE'LL HELP YOU FIND YOUR EVACUATION ZONE.
WHO HERE IS FAMILIAR WITH THE READY SET GO PROGRAM? AWESOME.
ALMOST EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM WHO HERE KNOWS THAT WE'RE ALWAYS IN READY A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE TIME.
YOU DON'T GET PUT IN READY STATUS.
WE'RE IN A READY STATUS ALL THE TIME IF YOU'RE NOT IN SET OR GO.
AND WHAT WE STRESS THERE IS READY NOW IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO PREPARE.
SET IS WHEN YOU'RE ALERT THERE'S A THREAT THAT YOU MAY NEED TO EVACUATE AND THEN GO, IS THAT EVACUATION ORDER? WE'RE WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT YOU EVACUATE FROM WHERE YOU'RE AT HERE, YOU SIGN UP FOR EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS.
IF YOU HAVEN'T, WE'LL HELP YOU OUT WITH THAT TOO.
THERE'LL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT IN THE BREAKOUT ROOM.
OR GO AHEAD AND TEXT RED ROCKS ALL ONE WORD TO 8 8 8 7 7 7.
IF YOU'RE NOT SURE IF YOU SIGNED UP, IT DOESN'T HURT TO DO IT AGAIN.
RIGHT? YOU'LL GET A FEEDBACK MESSAGE.
ONCE YOU DO THAT, IT'LL SAY YOU'RE SIGNED UP FOR EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS.
THERE'S THREE WAYS THAT WE CAN DO EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS IN A, IN A DISASTER OR EMERGENCY.
AND THAT'S THROUGH NICKEL, WHICH IS TEXTING RED ROCKS.
THAT'S OUR SUBSCRIPTION BASED SYSTEM.
WE ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO IPOS THROUGH OUR COUNTIES.
THE AAVA PIE AND COCONINO, THAT'S LIKE AN AMBER ALERT TYPE SYSTEM THAT GOES OUT THROUGH CELL TOWERS.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE REGISTERED OR NOT, IF YOU'RE IN THE VICINITY OF A AREA, WE DRAW ON A MAP, YOU'LL RECEIVE AN EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION.
THAT'S, THAT'S LARGELY HOW WE GET MESSAGES OUT TO LIKE OUR TOURISTS OR, UH, OTHER POPULATIONS THAT MAY NOT BE SIGNED UP IN THE SUB SUBSCRIPTION SYSTEM.
THEN WE ALSO HAVE OUR SIREN SYSTEM AND THAT'S OUR AUDIBLE ALERT WARNING SYSTEM.
THOSE ARE CURRENTLY JUST IN THE UPTOWN AREA AND WE USE THOSE TO SEND OUT AN AUDIBLE MESSAGE.
IT'S COME A LONG WAY FROM JUST LIKE TORNADO WARNINGS WHERE IT'S LOUD, BLARE.
UM, YOU'LL GET ACTUAL SPOKEN MESSAGES WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY WITH THOSE SIREN SYSTEMS IN UPTOWN.
THOSE GOT INSTALLED THIS YEAR.
ONE OTHER MEDIUM THAT WE ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO, THESE ARE ALL ELECTRONIC, BUT IN CASE THERE IS AN EVACUATION OR YOU DO NEED TO BE NOTIFIED OF SOMETHING, WE'RE GONNA BE GOING DOOR TO DOOR TO RIGHT IN AN EVACUATION.
ANYBODY WHO HAS A ROLE TO PLAY IN PUBLIC SAFETY IS MOBILIZED.
YOU'LL HAVE SEARCH AND RESCUE, YOU'LL HAVE THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, OTHER RESOURCES GOING DOOR TO DOOR TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET NOTIFIED.
SO EVEN IF YOU DON'T GET ANY OF THESE, THERE'S THAT ADDITIONAL LAYER OF REDUNDANCY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET A MESSAGE.
IT'S ALSO ANOTHER THING THAT WE STRESS AND WE TALK ABOUT THE PACKING PEAS, RIGHT? THE FIVE THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE IN YOUR GO BAGG IN CASE YOU NEED TO EVACUATE.
AND WHEN I TALK ABOUT A GO BAG, IT'S ABOUT BEING ABLE TO HAVE THE NECESSARY THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO SURVIVE FOR 72 HOURS, POTENTIALLY LONGER.
UH, BUT WHAT WE RECOMMEND IS IF YOU HAVE STUFF IN THERE FOR PEOPLE, IF YOU HAVE PETS, HAVE DOG FOOD OR ANY PET PRESCRIPTIONS PAPERS, THAT'S LIKE IF YOU HAVE IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS THAT YOU NEED TO HOLD ONTO PRESCRIPTIONS, RIGHT? PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION AND THEN PLASTIC.
THAT'S GONNA BE LIKE YOUR CREDIT CARDS, YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSES, PASSPORT.
THINGS YOU WOULD NEED IN CASE YOU HAD TO EVACUATE THAT ARE ESSENTIAL DOCUMENTS.
WE'LL HAVE A LITTLE GO BAGG DISPLAY IN THE OTHER ROOM AS WELL.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA BE RAFFLING OFF A GO BAG TODAY AS WELL.
SO MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THOSE TABLES, GET YOURSELF A RAFFLE TICKET, AND THEN WE WILL ANNOUNCE YOU AS ACTUALLY GOING HOME WITH A GO BAG TODAY.
AFTER THAT, IF YOU HAVEN'T CHECKED OUT OUR READY SEDONA GUIDE, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO.
GO TO SEDONA AZ.GOV/READY OR SCAN THE QR CODE, FIND US IN THE BREAKOUT ROOM AND YOU CAN GO THERE AND YOU CAN SEE KIND OF AN ALL IN ONE RECAP OF WHAT WE'RE GOING OVER TODAY.
LOOK AT EVACUATION INFO, PET PREPAREDNESS, HOUSEHOLD EMERGENCY PLANS, HOW TO MAKE ONE, AND THEN THERE'S ALSO INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOW TO BUILD YOUR GO BAGG IN THERE AS WELL.
SO IF YOU DO WANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON ANY OF THESE TOPICS, WHETHER IT'S FIRE SAFE, SEDONA, OR IF IT'S EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS, THIS IS OUR CONTACT INFORMATION FEEL, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GET IN CONTACT WITH US.
I'D LOVE TO GIVE A PRESENTATION ABOUT PREPAREDNESS TO COMMUNITY OR GROUP YOU'RE PART OF AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE CONNECTED WITH THE INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED TO BE SAFE IN A DISASTER.
[00:10:04]
ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A COMMUNITY CONVERSATION AND SO FAR YOU'VE JUST HAD TO HEAR US.SO NOW THE CONVERSATION PART GOOD NEWS IS YOU DON'T HAVE TO MOVE.
SO FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MINUTES, WE ARE GOING TO BE SPENDING 10 MINUTES AT EACH TABLE.
SO YOU HAVE A SCRIBE AND YOU HAVE ONE OR TWO COUNSELORS.
EACH ONE OF THEM HAS A QUESTION, RIGHT? SO EACH ONE OF THOSE QUESTIONS WILL RELATE TO SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU'VE HEARD TONIGHT, UM, AS IT RELATES TO FIRE SAFE, SEDONA AS IT RELATES TO EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.
SO WE'RE GONNA ASK YOU TO STAY PUT, WE'RE GONNA ASK YOU TO, UM, CONVERSE WITH YOUR SCRIBE AND, AND YOUR COUNSELOR OR, OR THE MAYOR, UM, OR THE VICE MAYOR AS THEY ARE ASKING YOU THESE QUESTIONS.
AND THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM YOU BOTH IN TERMS OF THOUGHTS ON THE PROGRAMS, HOW WE CAN HELP CONTINUE TO BUILD THESE PROGRAMS OR TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR THOUGHTS YOU MAY HAVE AS IT RELATES TO PREPAREDNESS.
SO WITH THAT INFORMATION, UM, I THINK WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE GAN THAT I NEEDED TO COVER? NO.
SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND START NOW AND WE'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN TIME IS UP SO OUR FOLKS WILL MOVE TO THE NEXT TABLE.
I GOT THIS MICROPHONE ON JUST TO CAPTURE THE ROOM.
DID I GET YOU WHAT YOU I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE.
[00:15:45]
YEAH,[00:20:59]
I'M SERIOUSLY BLIND.TIME FOR A COUNSELOR POP UP AND ROTATE COUNTERCLOCKWISE COUNSELORS.
[00:31:58]

HOW DID YOU FIRST FIND OUT? OKAY, SO, SO THEN DID YOU FIND DATE OR DID YOU FIND IT IS? SO ANY SUGGESTIONS?
[00:40:04]
ONE MINUTE WARNING.[00:46:46]

ONE MINUTE.ONE MINUTE AND ROTATE FINAL TO SAY HI.
I, I KNOW IT WAS VERY HARD AND FRUSTRATED FOR BOTH GOING GOOD.
YOUR TIME STARTS NOW LOOKING AROUND.
[00:57:56]
SO WE'RE, AND[01:02:02]
ALRIGHT, I THINK WE'RE READY TO CLOSE THE LAST ROUND.SO WHAT, OKAY, SO WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO NEXT, WE TAKE A QUICK 15 MINUTES, RIGHT? AND SO EVERYBODY READ UP, STRETCH YOUR LEGS.
UH, IN THE MEANTIME WE HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS.
SO SOME REFRESHMENTS, DRINKS AND SOME SNACKS.
UM, RIGHT NEXT TO THAT YOU'LL SEE THE, UH, THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY BANNERS.
UM, IF ANYBODY HAS NOT HAD A CHANCE TO SIGN THOSE, PLEASE DO EACH ONE OF THOSE BANNERS IS GOING TO GO TO ONE OF THE FIRE CREWS THAT HELPED US DURING THE POP FIRE.
SO, UM, PLEASE TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN EACH ONE OF THOSE IF YOU CAN.
EACH ONE WILL GO TO A DIFFERENT CREW, SO JUST SIGN TO YOUR HAND.
UM, SO AFTERWARDS, IF YOU COULD THEN, UM, JUST TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME INTO THE, UH, DEMO TABLES, UH, THAT ARE OFF INTO THE SMALL ROOM.
UM, PROBABLY NOT EVERYBODY AT ONCE AND WILL NOT ALL FIT.
UM, BUT YOU'LL SEE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT TABLES THERE.
AS CHANCE WAS MENTIONING, LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS, UM, AS WELL AS FIRE SAFE SEDONA, BUT ALSO SOME SUSTAINABLE PLANTS, UH, EPA FILTERS, UM, AND GO BAGS.
AND ALSO THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR RAFFLES TWO RAFFLES, SO FOR A FREE GO BAG AND FOR SUSTAINABLE PLANTS.
SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THAT, GRAB ONE OF THE RAFFLE TICKETS.
UM, IN THE INTERIM, OUR COUNSELORS AND OUR SCRIBES ARE GOING TO BE TAKING A COUPLE MINUTES TO QUICKLY SUMMARIZE WHAT THEY HEARD IN EACH ONE OF THE GROUPS.
AFTER WE'RE DONE, WE'LL COME BACK AND EACH ONE OF THE GROUPS WILL REPORT OUT FOR ONE MINUTE EACH.
UM, AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO DISCUSSION OF REC CENTER.
WE'LL, UH, RECONVENE IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES.
OH, SO WHICH PART DID YOU GET THE PART ABOUT? GOING AROUND TO THE TABLES? YEAH.
ONCE, ONCE THEY'RE DONE WITH THE TABLE, THE SCRIBE
[01:05:02]
AND THEY WILL COME BACK AND THEY'LL SUMMARY.SO WE'RE GONNA BE GETTING BACK TOGETHER IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES.
I'M, I FORGOT TO WEAR MY NAME.
[01:10:05]
YEAH, YEAH.[01:19:59]
YOU READY? GET EVERYBODY TOGETHER.[01:20:01]
UM, SO NEXT IS, WELL, SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND DO THIS PROBLEM REAL QUICK.WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO NEXT IS GO AHEAD AND HAVE EACH ONE OF THE UH, GIVE A ONE MINUTE PRESENTATION OF HEARD.
AND, AND ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH THAT, WE'RE GONNA HAVE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE TWO RAFFLES AND THEN WE'LL MOVE INTO THE RECREATION, UH, CENTER SCHEDULE.
SO IF I COULD, CAN I START WITH UM, VICE MAYOR BOLT.
SO, UH, THE QUESTION THAT, UH, CARRIE AND I WERE CLOSING INTO EVERYONE AND BEAUTIFUL NOW KNOW IS WHAT KANSAS CITY DO ENCOURAGE PROPERTY OWNERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FIRE SAFE.
HOW MANY THESE ARE, GO BACK, THESE ARE ALL GO BACK FREQUENTLY INCLUDED, INCREASING THE FREQUENCY OF THE CURBSIDE GREEN WASTE PICKUP FOR ONE TIME A YEAR TO, YOU KNOW, TWO OR MORE TIMES A YEAR.
UH, WE HEARD THAT, YOU KNOW, GEE, THERE'S THINGS WE'RE LEARNING TONIGHT THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT, UH, THE PROGRAM ITSELF, LIKE FIRE SAFE OR FIREWISE.
UM, GEE, WE, WE NEED TO DO MORE ON EDUCATING.
UH, SO WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON EDUCATING THE PUBLIC USING ALL CHANNELS AVAILABLE TO US TO DO SO.
UM, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A CONCERN ABOUT INSURANCE AND THERE WAS A REALLY GREAT SUGGESTION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S DIFFERENCES IN THE FIRE RISK PROFILE HERE VERSUS FLAGSTAFF AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO EDUCATE, UH, THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ABOUT HOW OUR RISK IS NOT THE SAME AS OTHER AREAS THAT MIGHT BE SEEN AS MORE EXTREME.
UH, FOLKS THAT WERE CONCERNED ABOUT MAYBE THEIR NEIGHBORS HAVING OVERGROWN WEEDS OR A LOT OF DEAD TREES AND THAT, UH, CAUSING A FIRE RISK.
UH, THEY FOUND OUT THAT WE GOT AN APP CALLED RECORDER THAT YOU CAN USE FOR TAKING A PICTURE AND SENDING THAT TO CODE ENFORCEMENT TO UH, INVESTIGATE.
AND THEN IN KIND OF A, A TWO-WAY THING HERE ABOUT HOW THE CITY CAN POTENTIALLY HELP FINANCIALLY IS TO, UH, POSSIBLY UNDERWRITE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH FIREWISE OR THE OTHER CERTIFICATION PROGRAM.
AND THEN FOR THOSE THAT ARE, UH, PERHAPS LOWER INCOME, PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR MAKING THEIR PROPERTY, UH, FIREWISE SAFE OR, YOU KNOW, CREATING MORE DEFENSIBLE SPACE.
WE HEARD SOME SIMILAR THINGS THAT, UH, THE VICE MAYOR TALKED ABOUT PARTICULARLY, UH, FOR HOA FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN A COMMUNITIES, COULD THE CITY PROVIDE SPEAKERS AND
[01:25:01]
COME OUT AND AND ADDRESS THE HOA? AND THEN SOME NEIGHBORS TALKED ABOUT SHORT TERM RENTALS, THAT THEY WERE SURROUNDED BY SHORT TERM RENTALS.SO HOW WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO BRING THE SHORT TERM RENTAL OWNERS WHO THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHO THEY ARE INTO CONVERSATION? AND SO WE FORTUNATELY HAD A COUPLE OF SHORT TERM RENTAL OWNERS AT THE VARIOUS TABLES AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT BOTH, UM, THE REALTORS HAD LISTS AND THE REALTORS ALSO PRODUCED A NEWSLETTER THAT THIS COULD BE A MESSAGE COULD BE SENT, UH, THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
AND UH, AND ALSO THE CITY HAS A LIST OF HOA OWNERS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO HAVE PERMIT, UH, UH, SHORT TERM RENTAL OWNERS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO HAVE PERMITS.
SO IF THAT'S AN OBSTACLE, WE CAN SOLVE THAT.
AND THE UH, CURBSIDE PICKUP IS ALSO ANOTHER SUGGESTION TO HAVE IT MUCH MORE REGULARLY SO THAT PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO PROCEED IN SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS WOULDN'T HAVE TO HAUL AWAY ALL OF THE DEBRIS, WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE.
I, UH, WE HEARD A LOT OF THE SAME THINGS.
SO NUMBER OF QUESTIONS, HOW SUBDIVISIONS CAN GET FIREWISE DESIGNATIONS, UH, MAKE THAT INFORMATION MORE AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE SO THAT IF THEY HAVE A SUBDIVISION THAT'S INTERESTED IN SUSTAINING, THEY CAN KNOW WHO TO TALK TO.
UH, WE HAD A LOT OF SUGGESTIONS FOR CITY ASSISTANCE WITH FIREWISE LANDSCAPING, UH, BOTH PRIVATE PUBLIC SPACES, UH, EMERGENCY RISKS.
AND WE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE AREAS WHERE VEGETATION'S KIND OF START TO GET OVERGROWN A LITTLE BIT.
UH, AND THESE ARE ROUTES THAT PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO TAKE, POTENTIALLY WANT TAKE IN THE EVENT OF EMERGENCY.
SO I'D LIKE TO SEE THE CITY INVOLVED THERE.
UM, AND ALSO, UH, AND I DUNNO IF IT'S AN OPTION, BUT WE HAD SOME SORT OF OFFICIAL PROVIDERS THAT HAD A NEGOTIATED RATE, UH, WITH THE CITY THAT YOU COULD SEND TO CUSTOMERS, SEND RESIDENTS SAY, OKAY, MONEY, CLEAR PROPERTY.
UM, WE WANT MORE COMMUNICATION FOR SHORT TERM RENTAL, FIRE SAFETY.
UH, PEOPLE RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
UH, FREQUENCY OF BRUSH PICKUP UP, UP AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
YOU TELL ME ABOUT BEING TOLD
IS IT THE CITY CONSIDERED USING AI TO ASSIST WITH, UH, MAPPING OF, UM, THE EVACUATION IN THE EVENT OF A LASTLY, UH, OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND PEOPLE WANTING KNOW WHAT THE CITY IS PLANNING TO DO TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE ABILITY OF GET OUT? HI, OUR QUESTION WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
UM, WE WERE QUESTIONING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE FELT ABOUT COMMUNICATION DURING THE POCKET FIRE, WHERE THEY FIRST GET THEIR INFORMATION AND UM, WERE THEY SATISFIED WITH THE INFORMATION THAT THEY WERE GETTING.
AND IT WAS PRETTY CONSISTENT FROM TABLE TO TABLE.
AND WE WON'T TELL YOU WHAT WAS UP TABLE.
UM, BUT WE, WE DID, WE HAD THE INFORMATION WAS CONSISTENT THAT PEOPLE WERE GOING TO WATCH DUTY IN WEB, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND THIS IS PRETTY MUCH IN RANK ORDER, UM, FIRSTHAND VISUAL INFORMATION, WHICH IS HOW A LOT OF PEOPLE, WHICH TELLS YOU WHAT SMALL TOWN WE ARE FIRST SAW EITHER THE BUYER DIRECTLY OR RESPONDERS AND THAT WAS THEIR FIRST CLUE TO GO SEEK OTHER INFORMATION.
AND THEN LASTLY ON THAT LIST WAS DIRECT EMAILS EITHER FROM THE CITY OR THE FOREST SERVICE.
UM, PEOPLE WERE SATISFIED WITH THE FREQUENCY OF INFORMATION GENERALLY, BUT THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A WANING TOWARD THE END.
BUT PEOPLE DID EQUATE THAT WITH A, UH, DECREASED SENSE OF URGENCY.
THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT THE THREAT WAS LESS SEVERE AND THE INFORMATION WASN'T COMING AS, AS FAST AND FURIOUS.
UM, WE DID ANOTHER THING UNIQUE TO A SMALL TOWN WITH ANOMALY HERE WAS THAT ON AVERAGE AT LEAST ONE PERSON PER TABLE HAD SOME DIRECT CONTACT EITHER WITH FOREST SERVICE OR THROUGH LIKE RENT OF FOREST FOR FOREST SERVICE OR WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DIRECTLY WITH THE CITY DIRECTLY WITH.
SO IT WAS INTERESTING IN A SMALL TOWN HOW INFORMATION CAN COME FROM DIRECT SOURCES.
[01:30:01]
AND THE OTHER THING IS THAT, UM, PEOPLE, THE ONLY THING THAT PEOPLE FELT THEY WEREN'T GETTING AS MUCH INFORMATION AS THEY WANTED WERE ON SOME OF THE ROAD VOUCHERS BECAUSE THEY FELT THAT THAT DIDN'T GET OUT TO THE GENERAL POPULATION OUTSIDE OF SEDONA.THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON THEN IN SEDONA NOW COMING TO SEDONA.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE FOUND THAT GENERALLY I'D SAY PEOPLE WERE PLEASED, WHICH WAS NICE TO HEAR WITH THE INFORMATION THAT THEY WERE GETTING AND, AND THE METHODS THAT THEY HAD TO GET.
ALL RIGHT, SO, SO FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD POINT OUT THAT WE, WE WENT COUNTERCLOCKWISE EXCEPT FOR THE RECORDING OUT, IN WHICH CASE WE GO CLOCKWISE,
SO PETE AND I HAD THE QUESTION ON SHORT TERM RENTALS AND SECOND HOME OWNERS AND HOW DO BRING THIS INFORMATION INTO TO THEM 'CAUSE THOSE HOMES ARE IN OUR COMPANY.
SO WE CAME AWAY WITH THE IDEA THAT CREATES SOME KIND OF A GOLD STAR INCENTIVE.
SO FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS, AS THEY GO IN AND THEY REGISTER, WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE, THAT'S JUST AN IDEA OF THE PROGRAM, NO DISCUSSION.
UM, AND THEN THEY GET A GOLD STAR IF THEY ARE FIREWISE OR WHATEVER IT IS THE DECISION IS.
AND WHEN SOMEBODY THEN GOES TO POST THEIR LISTING, THEY CAN SAY THAT THEY'RE A GOLD STAR CERTIFIED IN SEDONA.
THEY BUY PLAYING ON THE IDEA THAT THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF MONEY INVESTED AND THIS IS THE WAY OF MAKING MORE MONEY.
UM, ALSO THE IDEA OF HAVING, UH, PACKETS THAT GO OUT AUTOMATICALLY AS PART OF STR REGISTRATION THAT HAS ALL THE INFORMATION FROM ALL OF THIS STUFF ON THE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT GOES OUT THERE, INCLUDING ZONING INFORMATION.
AND UM, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE, I'M JUST GONNA THROW IT IN HERE, BUT INCLUDE ALSO A USABLE, UM, LIKE LAMINATED QR CODE PIECE OF PLASTIC, THE QR CODE THAT GOES UP TO OUR SITE TO SHOW YOU ALL THESE EMERGENCY THINGS IF YOU'RE A RENTER.
AND PERHAPS ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS WE CAN DO IS EXPAND THAT OUT AND HAVE ANOTHER LANDING PAGE THAT TELLS YOU ABOUT OTHER EMERGENCY SERVICES INSIDE OF THE CITY.
SO, UM, THERE WAS IDEAS AROUND THE SEARCH PROGRAM AND, AND, AND I'M SORRY, SOME THE HEARING, UM, SORRY.
SO HAVE STAFF AND MAYBE WORK WITH SFD AND OTHER EMERGENCY SERVICES HERE IN TOWN THAT REALLY, IS IT A HOME FOR WHATEVER REASON, THEY ALSO DROP OFF A PACKET AROUND ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU COULD DO TO MAKE YOUR HOME SAFER.
AND I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THEM.
ALRIGHT, SO WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION ABOUT FIRE SAFETY AND UM, AND THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE THAT HAS STUCK AROUND FOR THE SECOND PART OF THE PRESENTATION AND WE HAVE A NUMBER OF NEW MEETING.
SO, UH, WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO NOW IS GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE DISCUSSION ON RECREATION CENTER AND UM, JUST, UM, YOU'RE GONNA BE DISCUSSING THE OPPORTUNITY AS THE RECREATION CENTER GOES.
SO NOT NECESSARILY WORRIED ABOUT COSTS, WE'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT LOCATION, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE.
SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO OUR PARKS REC DIRECTOR, UH, JOSH BWIN AND HE'LL TAKE IT AWAY.
AND THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT.
WE'RE DOING BOTH OF THESE NOW FOR THE FUN PART FOR THE RECREATION CENTER, WE'RE GONNA TALK THROUGH SOME OF THAT EXPERTS.
YEAH, SORRY, I GOT CARRIED AWAY.
UH, WITH THE EXCITEMENT ON THE RECER, SO WE HAVE THE RAFFLES, SO WE WANT TO DO THE QUICK GIVEAWAY, THAT WAY WE CAN DO FULL TRANSITION.
UM, SO CHANCE YOU WANT TO DO THE UH, GO BACK? ABSOLUTELY.
SO FOR OUR GO BACK RAFFLE IF YOU CAN BY ONE OF THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TABLES, EMERGENCY UH, ALERTS OR EVACUATION OR GO BAG, THEN YOU HAVE YOUR RAFFLE TICKET.
I'LL TELL YOU THE WINNING NUMBER FOR THE RAFFLE.
ONCE
ALRIGHT, IF YOU HAD, IF YOU HAD 6, 3, 8, 6, 3, 8, 7, 8, 5, 7, HAVE A WINNER.
SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED BUT THANK YOU.
ALRIGHT, AND WE HAVE A COUPLE OF, 'CAUSE WE HAD
[01:35:01]
MULTIPLE PLANTS, SO WE HAVE MULTIPLE WINNERS, SO I'LL GO THROUGH THOSE VERY QUICKLY.UM, FIRST TICKET 6 3, 8, 7, 8, 1 9.
YOU GOT A PLAN? OH, AND 6 3, 8, 7, 8, 2 3.
YOU HAVE A PLAN? 6 3, 8, 7, 8, 2 2.
PLAN NUMBER THREE, SEVEN TO GO.
I KNOW THIS COULD GO FOR A MINUTE.
ALL RIGHT, I'M DOWN TO 2 6 3, 8, 7 8, 2 4.
ALRIGHT, SO Y'ALL ARE WELCOME TO AT THE END, GO BACK AND PICK UP YOUR PLAN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I APOLOGIZE NOW.
ALRIGHT, NOW BACK TO THE FUN ZONE NOW THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO PLAN.
SO FOR THE REC CENTER CONVERSATION.
SO OKAY, BACK TO THE REC CENTER PORTION.
SO WE'RE GONNA DISCUSS UM, KIND OF LIKE TONY SAID, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT A BIG OVERHEAD VIEW, SOME OF THE RECREATION CENTER OPTIONS OF WHAT DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES HAVE FOR RECREATION CENTER AND WHAT THE DESIRES AND NEEDS AND COMMUNITY INPUT MIGHT BE FOR A RECREATION CENTER HERE IN SEDONA.
SO QUICK OVERVIEW, I'LL GIVE SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID FIRE WISE BUT EVEN MUCH SHORTER.
I'LL GO THROUGH A QUICK LITTLE PRESENTATION OF A FEW THINGS.
UM, TALK TO YOU, SHOW YOU A FEW DIFFERENT REC CENTERS AND SOME AMENITIES THAT ARE DIFFERENT PLACES OFFER.
WE CAN BRAINSTORM WHAT SOME OF THOSE WOULD LOOK LIKE HERE IN SEDONA OR WHAT THE NEEDS WOULD BE.
AND THEN WITH YOUR GROUP, WE'LL HAVE A FEW DISCUSSION QUESTIONS AND DO A CHANCE TO LOOK WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID, GET SOME BRAINSTORM IDEAS AND ULTIMATELY PUT SOME GOLD STARS AND SOME IDEAS IN THERE.
SO HOW DID THIS DISCUSSION COME TO BE? THE FIRST PART WAS FROM THE PLAN SEDONA AND
THE TWO MOST COMMON RESPONSES ON THE SURVEY RESULTS WERE COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACES AND THEN RECREATION CENTER.
SO THE FIRST QUESTION WOULD LIKE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE A CITY PARK AT WESTERN GATEWAY WITH 79% OF PEOPLE VOTING YES ON THAT? AND THEN A COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACE, 65% RATED WAS AN IMPORTANT AMEND HERE AND THE COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER WAS 57% THAT RATED IT AS AN IMPORTANT ITEM.
SO AGAIN, OBVIOUSLY THIS ISN'T A PROMISE OF A REC CENTER, IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING FOR THE DISCUSSION, SEEING SOME COMMUNITY FEEDBACK AND INPUT THERE TONIGHT, FOCUSING REALLY ON THESE AMENITIES, WHAT YOUR COMMUNITY DESIRES ARE, NOT TALKING THE COST, LOCATION, FUNDING, ALL THOSE WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE TO COME IF THIS PROPOSAL KEEPS GOING FORWARD.
UM, THE PURPOSE IS TO JUST START THE CONVERSATION ON WHAT YOU ALL WOULD WANT TO SEE IN A REC CENTER OR COMMUNITY RECREATION NEEDS HERE IN OMA.
SO FOR SOME OF THE CATEGORIES THAT WE'LL GO THROUGH FOR THE DIFFERENT REC CENTERS THAT WE'LL LOOK AT, WE HAVE AQUATICS AS ONE OF THE MAJOR ONES.
AND THEN I WANT TO DIVE DEEPER INTO WHETHER PEOPLE REALLY WELL AN INDOOR POOL, OUTDOOR POOL, SPLASH PAD, WATER SLIDE GO DEEPER THAN JUST SAYING POOL FITNESS AND WELLNESS AND THOSE SAME KIND OF THINGS.
WHAT TYPE OF FITNESS ASPECTS ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? WHETHER IT'S CLASSES, GYM SPACE, INDOOR TRACK, OUTDOOR TRACK,
[01:40:01]
THOSE KIND OF THINGS.CORE ACTIVE PLAY, WHETHER IT'S BASKETBALL, PICKLEBALL, VOLLEYBALL, ROCK WALL, CLIMBING AREAS, YOUTH TEAM, FAMILY, ADDING SOME SENIORS IN THERE AS WELL.
AND THEN COMMUNITY OF RENTALS IF THAT'S SOMETHING PEOPLE LOOKING FOR IS MORE EVENT RENTAL SPACE, COMMUNITY KITCHENS AND DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THAT.
SO TO JUST GO THROUGH A FEW OF THE DIFFERENT REC CENTERS AROUND THE AREA WITH COMPARABLE DIFFERENT AMENITIES AND IDEAS.
I TRIED TO PICK UP SOME THAT HAVE VARYING AMENITIES FROM OTHERS IN ORDER TO TAKE A LOOK AT 'EM AND GET SOME DIFFERENT IDEAS THERE.
SO THE FIRST ONE WAS THE COTTONWOOD RECREATION CENTER.
MOST PEOPLE BEEN TO THE COTTONWOOD RECREATION CENTER.
SO THE COTTONWOOD RECREATION CENTER HAS INDOOR AND OUTDOOR POOLS, HAS DIVING BOARD, UM, LADY RIVER, FLAT SWIM, THAT KIND OF THING.
SO THE OUTDOOR POOLS OPEN IN THE SUMMERTIME AND THEN INDOOR POOL AND OPENING IT ROUND THERE.
THEY HAVE A ROCK CLIMBING WALL, A FULL GYMNASIUM FOR PICKLE BALL DURING THE MORNING HOURS, BASKETBALL, YOUTH BASKETBALL, ADULT BASKETBALL, VOLLEYBALL.
BUT THEY DO VOLLEYBALL LEAGUES OUT OF, THEY HAVE AN ARCADE GAME ROOM, SO IT'S KIND OF VIDEO GAME STATIONS, POO BALL TABLE, PING PONG, SOME OF THOSE FOR KIDS TEAMS TO HANG OUT IN THERE.
THEY DO HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF RENTAL SPACE THAT THEY USE FOR ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACTIVITIES OR ANYONE WHO ONES TO RENT THE SPACE AND THEN A FULL COMMERCIAL KITCHEN IN THE BACK AREA THAT THEY USE FOR FOOD TRUCKS AS WELL AS RENTALS.
SO A LOT OF FOOD TRUCKS PAID TO USE THE REC CENTER HAS THEIR COMMERCIAL KITCHEN TO STAFF THEIR FOOD TRUCK AND JUST PREPARE THE FOOD FOR THEIR FOOD TRUCK THERE.
SO OBVIOUSLY COTTONWOOD HAS A POPULATION IN ITS CITY LIMITS OF 12,700 GOODYEAR A MUCH BIGGER EXAMPLE BUT DIFFERENT AMENITIES.
A GOOD YEAR IS ABOUT 125,000 PEOPLE.
THEY HAVE AN OUTDOOR AQUATICS CENTER ONLY WITH A BIG LAZY RIVER COMPETITION POOL, MULTI-PURPOSE GYM.
ONE OF THE BIG FOCUSES OF THE GOODYEAR RECREATION CENTER IS ESPORTS.
SO THEY HAVE LIKE TEAM VIDEO GAME AREAS WITH COMPUTERS, VIDEO GAMES, STATIONS THAT THEY DO A BIG ESPORTS AND COMPETITIONS THAT WAY.
THEY HAVE AN INDOOR WALKING TRACK AND THEN PART OF THEIRS THAT'S BUILT INTO THEIR PARK.
SO ALL THEIR ATHLETIC FIELDS, COMMUNITY PLAYGROUND AMENITIES ARE ALL THERE IN THAT 30 ACRE PARK SURROUNDING REC CENTER.
ANOTHER ONE, THE ZI COMMUNITY CENTER.
THAT'S ACTUALLY THE FIRST PLACE THAT I WORKED COMING OUT OF COLLEGE.
DOES ANYONE EVEN KNOW WHERE MARCI ARIZONA IS? OH THAT'S GOOD.
SO IT'S WAY SOUTHEAST ARIZONA, A MINING TOWN THERE, KIND OF
SO THAT WAS THE FIRST REP OR THE FIRST JOB I HAD OUT OF COLLEGE IN PARK RECREATION.
SO
HOWEVER IT GETS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT GO THERE.
IT'S THE MINING TOWN SO A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING FROM TUCSON STAFF THAT WORKING IN THE COMMUNITY THERE.
IT HAS AN INDOOR OUTDOOR POOL WITH LAZY RIVER WATER PLAY FEATURES.
THE A WATER SLIDE, THEIR WATER SLIDE EVEN HAS A TIME AND A LEADERBOARD.
SO IT'S AS FAST AS YOU CAN GO DOWN THE WATER SLIDE AND KEEP TRACK OF THE FASTEST TIMES EVER.
THEY HAVE RACKET, WALL COURTS A 360 DEGREE SO YOU CAN GO ALL THE WAY AROUND IT.
80 FOOT ROCK WALL THERE, ELEVATED INDOOR TRACK AND THEN CHILDCARE IS ONE OF THEIR BIG THINGS.
SO THEY HAVE A BIG, LOOKS LIKE A MCDONALD'S PLAYGROUND INSIDE OF IT THAT YOU CAN HAVE TWO HOURS OF PRE CHILDCARE WHILE YOU WORK OUT.
THEY HAVE A STARBUCKS AS PART OF IT.
AND THEN MULTI-STORY FITNESS EQUIPMENT WITH BOXING TRX SPORTS SPORTS AND ALL THOSE AMENITIES THERE.
A MORE RECENT ONE, THIS ONE'S JUST OPENED WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE QUEEN CREEK RECREATION CENTER, WHICH HAS ABOUT 89,000 PEOPLE AND GROWING RAPIDLY IN QUEEN CREEK THERE THEY HAVE A BIG OUTDOOR POOL ONLY WITH A 500 FOOT LAZY RIVER OF FOUR WATER SLIDES.
COMPETITION POOL, THEY REALLY FOCUS ON THE WATER PARK SIDE OF DOING THAT.
INDOOR SPORTS COURTS DEDICATED CHILDCARE AREA AND THEN A LOT OF FACILITY RENTALS.
SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF EVENT RENTAL SPACE THERE AS PART OF THAT LAST TWO.
SO WE HAVE THE SOUTH LAKE TAHOE RECREATION CENTER.
OUR, THE PERSON THAT WAS WORKING, HER NAME'S CARMEN AS OUR ATHLETIC AND AQUATIC SUPERVISOR PREVIOUSLY UNFORTUNATELY LAST SEDONA.
BUT SHE NOW WORKS AT THE LAKE TAHOE RECREATION CENTER AND THIS ONE JUST OPENED IN MARCH.
SO I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THIS AND WHERE SHE WORKS NOW.
UM, AND THEY, IT WAS JUST COMPLETED IN MARCH.
THEY HAVE AN INDOOR POOL ONLY BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU LOOK IN THE BACKGROUND THERE, THEY HAVE A PRETTY GIANT LAKE RIGHT BEHIND THEM, WHICH IS AN AWESOME AMENITY TO HAVE.
THEY HAVE AN INDOOR POOL, MOSTLY THE LAP SWIMMING, THEY DO HAVE A DEEP END DIVING WELL THERE.
IT'S A SMALLER FITNESS AREA AS THERE ARE A LOT OF ROCK CLIMBING GYMS OR FITNESS GYMS IN THE LAKE TAHOE AREA THAT THE REC CENTER DIDN'T WANT TO COMPETE WITH.
SO THEY HAVE MOSTLY CARDIO EQUIPMENT, FEW SMALL WEIGHT AREAS.
THEIR BIG FOCUS AT THEIR REC CENTER IS
[01:45:01]
FOR SENIORS.SO THEY HAVE A SENIOR, THEY HAVE BASICALLY A BIG SENIOR DINING AREA AND A SENIOR COMMERCIAL KITCHEN WHERE SENIORS CAN COME WITH FREE MEALS EVERY DAY.
SO IT'S KIND OF THE SENIOR CENTER COMBINED WITH THE REC CENTER FIELD THERE.
THEY DO ARTS CLASSES, EVERY TYPE OF, YOU KNOW, BINGO AND ALL THE ACTIVITIES THERE ALONG WITH THOSE FREE MEALS.
THEY ALSO DO HAVE ROCK CLIMBING WALLS, SPORTS, SPORTS PICKLE, BALL HEAVY AND THINGS LIKE THAT THERE AS WELL.
AND THEN THE FLAGSTAFF AFLEX, WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT OLDER IN THE BUILDING AND OBVIOUSLY FLAGSTAFF HAS ABOUT 77,000 PEOPLE THAT ARE RESIDENTS THERE.
THEY HAVE A SMALLER ROCK CLIMBING AREA, SMALLER FITNESS AREA AND A FEW SPORTS COURTS.
DEFINITELY THE SMALLER SITE EXAMPLE, UM, WITH THE CONFERENCE AND MEETING ROOM THERE.
AND THAT WAS BUILT BACK IN, I BELIEVE IT WAS 2001, 2002 TIMEFRAME.
SO AS WE GET INTO OUR GROUPS, THOSE WERE OBVIOUSLY JUST SIX DIFFERENT REC CENTERS AND SOME DIFFERENT AMENITIES AND IDEAS THERE THAT HOPEFULLY GET YOU THINKING A LITTLE BIT ON WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE IN A REC CENTER FORMLESS HERE IN SEDONA OR OTHER PARK AMENITIES.
SO I'D LIKE YOU AS WE GO IN OUR GROUP, I HAVE A FEW DISCUSSION QUESTIONS BUT REALLY THINK INTO THE DETAILS OF THESE AND FOCUS ON, AGAIN, NOT JUST SAYING POOL, BUT YOU'D REALLY LOVE A HOT TUB, YOU'D LOVE A LAZY RIVER, YOU'D LOVE SOME AQUA FITNESS CLASSES, A DIVING BOARD, COMPETITION POOL.
IF YOUR LAST SOMEWHERE FOCUS ON KIND OF THOSE DIFFERENT TYPE OF AMENITIES, WHETHER THAT POOLS, INDOOR OUTDOOR BOAT, DIFFERENT THINGS THERE, UM, THE FITNESS AND WELLNESS COURTS, WHAT TYPE OF THINGS YOU'D BE LOOKING FOR IN EACH OF THOSE.
UM, AND AS WE GO INTO TEAM, FAMILY, SENIORS, WHETHER YOUR CHILDCARE IS IMPORTANT TO YOU OR IS HAVING A SPACE FOR TEENS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU OR IS HAVING THE SENIORS FREE MEALS AND THAT TYPE OF OPPORTUNITY MORE IMPORTANT.
AND THEN AS WELL THE COMMUNITY AND RENTALS REALLY GOING INTO KITCHEN SPACE, CONFERENCE SPACE.
IF IT SHOULD HAVE EVENT RENTALS OR THINGS OUTSIDE WHERE THERE'S EVENT SPACE, ATHLETIC FIELDS, THAT SIDE OF IT AS WELL.
ONE PAGE, SORRY, I'M LAPPING HOW MUCH IF YOU KNOW, DID COTTONWOOD WHERE I GO BECAUSE OUR POOL IS OVERCROWDED, UH, ABOUT EVERY OTHER WEEK AND MORENCI, WHAT WAS THE BALLPARK FOR THE COST OF THOSE TWO SIMILAR SIZE CITIES? THE COST, THE REC CENTER AND THE WHOLE, YEAH, COTTONWOOD IS JUST UNDER 20 MILLION AND THAT WAS BUILT IN 2010 WHEN IT OPENED MORE WAS JUST RIGHT ABOUT 30 MILLION AND THAT WAS 2013 WHEN IT WAS BUILT.
SO OBVIOUSLY THESE ARE REC CENTERS CAN VARY WIDELY IN PRICE AND SIZE AND ALL THOSE THINGS.
SO OF COURSE TONIGHT WE WANT TO FOCUS ON THE AMENITY SIDE AND LESS ON THAT, JUST KIND OF SEEING WHAT THINGS WANT.
BUT THAT'S KIND OF THE BALLPARK ON THOSE TWO LITTLE BIT.
SO HERE AS WE GET IN TABLES, IF WE CAN GO THROUGH AND KIND OF DO WHAT YOU JUST DID WITH THE FIREWISE GROUP AND GO THROUGH SOME OF THESE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS.
LIKE IF YOU HAD YOUR PERFECT RECREATION CENTER IN POONA, HOW WOULD YOU DESIGN IT? AND NO WRONG ANSWERS, EVERYONE'S GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR COMMUNITY KIND OF GO THROUGH AND WE'LL HAVE US DRIVE, TAKE NOTES ON SOME OF THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS.
WHAT ARE SOME AMENITIES THAT ARE NOT ON THIS LIST THAT
AND THEN OF ALL THOSE WE'LL GET TOGETHER AND KIND OF COMPILE THEM AND VOTE ON WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR MOST IMPORTANT, WHAT, WHAT ARE SOME UNIQUE ONES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU AS WE GO THROUGH THOSE.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND BREAK INTO OUR GROUP NOW.
WE'LL HAVE ABOUT 10 MINUTES, 10, 15 MINUTES TO DISCUSS THERE AND ALRIGHT, SO I WOULD ASK EACH ONE OF OUR TABLES.
UM, WE HAVE SOME FOLKS THAT ARE STANDING THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE.
SO IF WE HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES, UH, TO SQUEEZE PEOPLE IN, THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC.
[01:56:00]
YEAH,[02:05:45]
PERFECT.[02:06:00]
I[02:06:01]
THINK WE HAVE TWO MINUTES.OH YEAH, TWO MINUTES SO I CAN HELP DO THAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
OKAY, SO I'LL TAKE, ALRIGHT, TAKE ABOUT 30 MORE SECONDS, DO YOUR LAST THOUGHT.
[02:11:55]
OKAY.THE NEXT THING WE'RE GONNA DO, SO ALL THESE, ALL THESE IDEAS ARE OVER HERE GETTING TAPED UP ON THE WALL.
AND THEY'RE ALL TAPED OVER HERE.
SO WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO, THAT'S GONNA BE A BIT CHALLENGING, WE'RE GONNA GRAB FIVE STICKERS OF THOSE STAR STICKERS EACH FROM YOUR TABLE AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE YOU GO AROUND, READ ALL OF 'EM THAT ARE OVER ON THAT SIDE, KIND OF BOTH FOR WHAT YOU THINK ARE THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT.
NOW OBVIOUSLY, PROBABLY A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID INDOOR POOL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR EXAMPLE, WILL COMPILE ALL THOSE.
YOU DON'T NEED TO VOTE FOR INDOOR POOL FIVE TIMES, BUT IF YOU SEE SOMETHING OVER THERE THAT SOMEONE ELSE MENTIONED THAT YOU TABLE TO THINK OF OR THAT YOU THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT, GO AHEAD AND PUT YOUR STAR ON THERE.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE YOU USE FIVE STARS, KIND OF BOTH FOR YOUR FAVORITE FIVE ITEMS THAT YOU SEE ON THOSE OVER THERE.
UM, AND THEN WE WILL ALL OF THESE COMPILE THOSE TOGETHER AND THEN HAVE A DOCUMENT OF WHAT WERE THE VOTED ON ITEMS AS WELL AS ALL THOSE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO TOGETHER.
YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND ABSOLUTELY IF JOE WASN'T
[02:21:31]
SO[02:21:37]
GUY SAID DIDN'T FOR DECORATION PURPOSES, I THOUGHT I OH,[02:26:27]
