It's kind of it's time to start looking at the projects that the commission proposed for 2026 which I included in the packet. Um and begin brainstorming what those should look like. So an example was um last year um Laura and Sarah put together a wonderful document that had photos and potential costs and other examples for projects specifically like the Gaga ball pit or the playground at Polar. It was really helpful for our public works team to see it.

I think because we have um a handful of things planned for next year and especially since two of them are potentially for Casey Lake, I don't think we need the Casey Lake park update of the Gaga ball pit. Well, and I didn't I know I think I wrote a lot of these, but I don't remember putting the active playground in for 2026. Um just as a just a gut because knowing I've been working on the Mcnite stuff, I would have prioritized that. And so I think when we come back, I think if this sounds like homework, I don't want to like go down a rabbit hole tonight, but um my first gut reaction is I think we need to prioritize Mcnite and maybe that flex field over the active playground or whatever.

I It's such a huge project. I do like everyone having some input on it. It feels weird to subdivide it down into Yeah. I I think everyone kind of wants to be a part of this big project.

How about how about what we do is we will co-author an email outlining everything for everybody. Have it all in one spot with like clear expectations and then we don't have to have any guess work.

last night the park rental policy went in front of city council and it was approved um with all of the fees changes that we had made. Um only one suggested change which was super minor was to add language that um deposit checks are mailed in four to six weeks after city council approval.

council had indicated that, uh, because we are so quote unquote inexpensive that maybe we should revisit our rates and go a little higher. Um, but I interjected and just said, hey, you know, we can't just fly rates up, right, immediately. Um and that this commission does recognize that and that Sarah has put together a lot of information.
