>> PAGE ON OUR WEBSITE WHERE PEOPLE CAN
[00:59:33]
SUBMIT THEIR STORIES. WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR THOSE STORIES.[00:59:45]
THE PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING, WE ARE WORKING ON A[00:59:49]
NEIGHBORHOOD SECTION FOR EXPLORE CLAY.COM. THAT WILL[00:59:56]
FEATURE MORE HISTORY STORIES AND ASSISTING WITH THE ARTS AND[01:00:02]
CULTURE COUNCIL CREATION. THIS IS THE EXPLORE CLAY APP . HAVE[01:00:09]
IT ON YOUR PRESENTATION. IT IS A NEW MOBILE APP THAT LETS[01:00:11]
VISITORS PLAN THEIR OWN TRIP OR THEY CAN TAKE THE TOURERS WE'VE[01:00:20]
CREATED FOR THEM. RIGHT NOW YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE FOUR TOURERS[01:00:25]
ON THERE. CAFFEINATED IN CLAY WHICH FEATURES OUR COFFEE[01:00:30]
SHOPS. REGIONAL SPORTS COMPLEX IS THE NEW REGIONAL SPORTS[01:00:38]
COMPLEX IN MIDDLEBURG. WE FOCUSED ON MAKING IT EASY FOR VISITORS TO THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION TO FIND DINING AND ACCOMMODATION AND RETAIL OUTLETS. IF THEY HAVE TO GET SOMEWHERE IN A HURRY. UPCOMING TOURERS, THE STORIES, FORMER HISTORY, WE NEED TO CONTINUE TELLING OUR STORIES. THIS APP GIVES A WAY TO DO THAT. IF I MAY MAKE A SUGGESTION, RANDY, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HAVING A DIFFERENT KIND OF MARKER. WE WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO CONSIDER HAVING A SIGN MADE WITH A QR CODE THAT ACTUALLY GOES TO THE APP. THERE COULD BE A VOICE OVER RECORDING WITH SOME IMAGES, HISTORIC IMAGES THAT GO WITH THAT SITE . OR EVEN A VIDEO THAT COULD TELL THAT STORY. SHOWING DIFFERENT PICTURES OF DIFFERENT THINGS, DIFFERENT PHASES OF HISTORY, THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN TELL THAT STORY. BUT WE CAN USE THE APP TO DOTHAT. >> THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS NOWADAYS WERE YOU JUST HAVE TO SCAN.
>> THAT IS A LOT OF WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW WITH TYING HISTORICAL MARKERS TO THE TECHNOLOGY. IT IS ALSO A WAY TO TIE DIFFERENT THINGS TOGETHER. ST. MARY'S CHURCH, THAT COULD BE PART OF AN ARCHITECTURE TO HER, A HISTORY TOUR, A GREEN COVE SPRINGS TOUR. LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS PEOPLE CAN EXPERIENCE OR HEAR THAT STORY BASED ON THEIR INTEREST OR THEIR LOCATION. KEEP THAT IN MIND. SOME OF THE UPCOMING TOURERS, WE HAVE AN INTERN. TODAY WAS HER FIRST FULL DAY.
WE PLAN ON HAVING HER WORK ON HELPING US BUILD SOME OF THESE ADDITIONAL TOURERS IN OUR APP SO THAT WE CAN FEATURE MORE OF WHAT CLAY COUNTY HAS TO OFFER. I JUST CAME FROM A CONFERENCE WHERE ATLAS UP SECURA -- LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE ABOUT THEM.
THEY ARE A GLOBAL CONTENT DISCOVERY SITE. THEY DO OFF THE BEATEN PATH, SOMETIMES QUIRKY, SOMETIMES WEIRD THINGS FEATURED ON THE SITE. ONE OF THE THINGS THEY SHARED WAS THE WONDER FILTER FOR DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT THESE SEVEN THINGS ARE NECESSARY TO TELL GREAT STORIES. THAT IS WHAT HISTORY IS. IT SHOULD BE THE GREAT STORY. IS THERE A STRONG SENSE OF PLACE, DOESN'T PROVIDE SPECIAL ACCESS,DOES IT HAVE UNEXPECTED OR INTELLECTUALLY ENGAGING THEMES. DOES IT BRING TO THE EVERY DAY. DOESN'T HAVE A WOW FACTOR. DOES IT GIVE YOU A SENSE OF CHILDLIKE WONDER OR FASCINATION. DOES IT MAKE YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD WITH FRESH EYES. WILL YOU BE TELLING FRIENDS AND FAMILY ABOUT IT.
ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE THINGS WE WANT TO START TO USE WHEN TELLING STORIES. ALL OF THOSE THINGS TOGETHER MAKE A GREAT STORY. AND ACTUALLY ENTICES PEOPLE TO VISIT. ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO DO IS CREATE CONTENT FOR THE SITE THAT IS
[01:05:02]
ABOUT OUR AREA. BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL VISIT TO FIND SOMETHING UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT. THAT IS WHAT THIS HELPS US DO. DO YOUHAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? >> IT IS FANTASTIC. WE HAD ANOTHER GROUP OF PEOPLE AT THE MUSEUM TAKING THE TOUR TODAY. I SAID I DRIVE BY THIS PLACE EVERY DAY AND DIDN'T KNOW IT
WAS HERE. >> THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THE -- THAT IS WHY OUR LOCAL CAMPAIGN EXISTS. WE WANT TO HELP PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE KNOW THAT THERE ARE AMAZING THINGS TO EXPERIENCE HERE. WITH THE INFLUX, THE GROWTH OF OUR POPULATION WE GOT NEW PEOPLE TO TELL THE STORY TO. FROM AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT WE KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO GO HERE TO SAINT AUGUSTINE IN JACKSONVILLE FOR DINING, RETAIL, EXPERIENCES. BUT IF WE CAN TURN THE NEW RESIDENTS INTO CLAY COUNTY CHAMPIONS THEN MAYBE THEY WILL GO TO THEIR FAVORITE LOCAL RESTAURANT RATHER THAN GOING TO SAINT AUGUSTINE OR JACKSONVILLE. MAYBE THEY WILL COME TO THE LOCAL MUSEUM AND ADD THAT TO THEIR LIST IN ADDITION TO GOING TO JACKSONVILLE AND SAINT AUGUSTINE.
>> DID YOU SEE A FUTURE WHERE RESIDENTS CAN ADD A STORY THING. COULD IT BE SOMETHING LIKE -- I IMAGINE LIKE A MAP OR SOMETHING. AND WOULD BE LIKE PEOPLE SHARE THEIR STORIES. BUT THEN THEY CAN UPLOAD IT AND -- SOMETHING LIKE THAT. EVERYONE WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS IT. WOULD IT THEN HAVE TO GO THROUGH SOME SORT OF -- HOW DO YOU FIGURE OUT A PROCESS FOR --
>> THAT IS OUR JOB. WE ARE ASKING EVERYONE FOR THEIR STORIES AND THEN WE FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO EITHER HELP THEM TELL IT OR HOW TO TELL IT. THAT BECOMES PART OF OUR
CAMPAIGN. >> THE LAST FEW YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN QUIET A FEW REMINISCENCES ON THE WEBSITE BY PEOPLE WHO REMEMBER THE HISTORY OF THE PLACE. EITHER PERSONAL ONES OR PEOPLE THAT KNOW ABOUT IT. IN THIS CASE WE PROBABLY WANT TO REACH OUT TO THEM SOMEHOW AND SEE IF IT IS OKAY TO CAPTURE THAT STUFF THEY'VE ALREADY WRITTEN.
>> YES. >> I'M NOT SURE HOW WE GO
ABOUT IT. >> IN KEYSTONE HEIGHTS WE RECENTLY LAUNCHED A FACEBOOK PAGE. INCREDIBLE HITS. EVERY DAY WE ARE ON FACEBOOK. PEOPLE ARE REALLY DISCUSSING ALL OF IT IS THOSE CONVERSATIONS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
>> ABSOLUTELY. WE DID A SOCIAL POST ABOUT THE MUSEUM. SOMEBODY COMMENTED, MY GRANDFATHER WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SOLDIERS THAT CAME THROUGH TRAINING HERE. WE WANT TO TALK TO YOU. THAT IS HOW THAT IS HAPPENING. TELL US WHAT HE TOLD YOU. DO YOU HAVE PICTURES. WHAT IS THAT EXPERIENCE LIKE. ANYTHING LIKE
THAT. >> INCREDIBLE POSITIVE RESPONSES TO EVERYTHING PUT OUT.
>> SEND THEM TO US. WE WILL SEND YOU THE LINK SO YOU CAN
SHARE THAT. >> WILL BRING IT UP TOO. AS WE
NEED TO TELL THE STORY. >> GREAT. WE LOVE THE HISTORY STORIES, BUT THEY CAN BE WHERE DO YOU GO FISH, YOUR FAVORITE FISHING STORY. WHERE YOU MET YOUR SPOUSE OR WENT ON YOUR FIRST DAY. WHY DO YOU LIKE TAKING YOUR KIDS TO THIS PARTICULAR PLACE. THEY CAN BE ANY TYPE OF EXPERIENCE.
>> WHERE WAS THAT RAISED THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO RAISE IT UP WITH THEIR OWN BABY TO SEE IF THE WOULD EMULATE THE BABY WHEN IN FACT THE BABY STARTED TO EMULATE THE AND SAID THAT WAS
[01:10:05]
ENOUGH. LASTED 11 MONTHS. THAT IS ANOTHER PART OF HISTORY NOT EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT. WHEN THEY FIND OUT THEY GO WILD.>> WE WOULD LOVE TO USE THIS APP AND OUR AD CAMPAIGN TO TELL THOSE STORIES. IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE APP AND YOU LOOK AT THE TOUR WHERE THERE IS A PHOTO THAT IS GREAT. THEN THERE IS A PHOTO. WE WOULD LOVE FOR THERE TO BE AN ACTUAL VOICE RECORDING OF A DESCRIPTION. WHERE IT IS SO HARD TO JAM PACK ALL OF THE INFORMATION ON THE HISTORIC MARKERS SO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF OF YOU. YOU CAN TELL THE WHOLE STORY IN A VIDEO OR AUDIO FILE THAT WILL ENHANCE THE VALUE OF THE HISTORIC MARKER.
AND WE HAVE IT ALWAYS. THINK ABOUT THAT. THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO MENTION IS UPCOMING HUNDRED AND 50TH ANNIVERARY OF KEYSTONE HEIGHTS. 2025 IS THE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CITY OF KEYSTONE HEIGHTS. THEN 2026 IS THE PENNIES RETIREMENT COMMUNITY. I HAVE THAT WRONG. PENNY RETIREMET COMMUNITY IS THE 126. 27 IS THE POUND OF PENNEY FARMS, THERE HUNDREDTH.
2029, THE TOWN OF ORANGE PARK TERMS 150. WE HAVE A LOT TO CELEBRATE. THAT IS WHY WE PULL EVERYBODY TOGETHER ON A QUARTERLY BASIS TO FIND OUT WHAT EVERYONE IS DOING, HOW CAN WE COLLABORATE, HOW CAN WE WORK TOGETHER TO PROMOTE THIS AND TO MAKE THAT PLANNING A LITTLE EASIER.
>> THE LAST MILESTONE MEETING WAS EXCELLENT. VERY INSIGHTFUL.
>> GOOD. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE UNLESS YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
FOR ME. >> WHEN WILL THE NEXT MILESTONE
MEETING BE? >> I'LL HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU. WE WILL DEFINITELY HAVE ONE, I JUST DON'T REMEMBER THE DATE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. BUT I CAN GET THAT TO YOU. I FAILED TO MENTION WE ARE WORKING WITH THE BURTRUM SOCIETY OF FLORIDA ON THE TRAIL, AS WELL.
>> GREAT. >> HASN'T BEEN ANY PROGRESS ON THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THE AMERICAN
>> OF AR ITINERARY. THE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED OF THE CRUISE BASED ON THE NUMBER OF DAYS THEY HAVE AND THEY'VE ALREADY ORGANIZED THE AIR -- ITINERARY AS FAR AS THE STOPS
>> THAT IS WHY WE GOT MORE EXCURSIONS TO HELP IN THAT EFFORT. THEY HAVE TO KNOW THERE IS MORE TO DO HERE IN ORDER FOR THAT TIMEFRAME TO BE EXPANDED. WE HAVE TAKEN A BABY STEP OF PRESENTING. THEY LIKE WHAT WE'VE PRESENTED THUS FAR. WE PACKAGED IN A WAY FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO SELL IT. WE ARE MAKING THAT HAPPEN. COUPLE WEEKS TO FINALIZE ALL OF THAT AND CONNECT ALL THE DOTS WITH THE BUSINESSES SO THE ACTUAL TRANSACTIONS FOR THOSE EXCURSIONS CAN HAPPEN.
>> GOOD. AT PRESENT VISITORS ON THE SHIP DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO SEE THE MUSEUM OR THE GARDEN.
>> THAT IS PART OF GARY'S MOTORCOACH TOUR, TO COME SEE
YOU ALL. >> HAS HE WORKED UP SOMETHING
[01:15:14]
>> I MET HIM AT THE HISTORICAL TRIANGLE AND WE DID AN EXTENSIVE TOUR. TOOK A LOT OF PICTURES. TOLD ME THAT DAY THAT THE PASSENGERS ON THE BUS, HE FELT THAT IT HE ENTERTAINS HIM AS HE DRIVES AND THEY WILL NOT GET OUT OF THEIR SEED TO GO TO THE MUSEUM OR THE TRAIN STATION OR THE JAIL. ONCE THEY GET COMFORTABLE HE DOESN'T EXPECT THEY WILL BE WILLING TO GET OUT OF THEIR SEAT. THIS IS A NEW BIT OF INFORMATION FOR ME BECAUSE WE WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO OPEN IT UP FOR THEM IF THEY WANTED TO GET OUT OF THEIR SEATS. WE WERE DISAPPOINTED HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO TAKE ALL THOSE PICTURES AND SO FORTH HE MAY THAT THEY TO WORK UP A TOUR THAT HE COULD PROMOTE TO DO ALL COUNTY SCHOOLCHILDREN TO WRITE HIS BUS OUT TO CLAY COUNTY AND SEE OUR HISTORIC TRIANGLE, BUT AS FAR AS THE AMERICAN CRUISE LINES GROUP HE WAS NOT THINKING THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING.
>> THAT IS NEWS TO ME. I WILL FOLLOW-UP WITH HIM. THANK YOU.
>> CHARACTERISTIC OF THAT -- OF THOSE CRUISE PASSENGERS.
>> IS IT AN AGE GROUP? >> THEY ARE MORE MATURE. THERE IS A WIDE ARRAY OF MOBILITY . IT IS ALL ACROSS THE SPECTRUM AS FAR AS MOBILITY. WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME TALKING TO BUSINESSES ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY.
>> IF THEY GOT OUT THEY COULD HAVE REFRESHMENTS OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, SOMETHING TO DRAW THEM OUT.
>> WE'VE DEFINITELY TALKED ABOUT THAT WITH THE EXPERIENCES TO MAKE SURE THAT AS PART OF THE EXPERIENCE.
>> THE POPULATION THEY HAVE -- WALK UP THE PIER, GET OFF THE BOAT, DO THE WALKING TOUR, BUT WHEN OTHERS WHO AREN'T THAT EXCITED ABOUT WALKING THAT FAR, THEY GET ON THE BUS. THEY STAY ON THE BUS. THE OTHER ONES, THEY ARE THE ACTIVE ONES, THE
ONES WALKING AROUND. >> THE OTHER THING WHEN WE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE BUSINESSES, WE HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT A SCOOTER COULD GET INTO A RETAIL LOCATION, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. IT REALLY TRULY IS AN ACCESSIBILITY CONVERSATION.
>> ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? JUST KEEP US POSTED ON THAT.
WHAT YOU NEED HELP IN AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
>> DEFINITELY. WE PLAN TO HAVE CARDS MADE UP SO YOU CAN PASS THEM OUT SO WE CAN GET THOSE STORIES. THAT IS COMING SOON.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. AS FAR AS I KNOW WE HAVE NO CERTIFICATES OF APPROVAL TO PROCESS. PUBLIC COMMENT. ONLY ONE MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC THAT I CAN SEE. ANY
[Staff Comments]
PUBLIC COMMENT? OKAY. STAFF COMMENTS?>> I JUST HAVE A COUPLE THINGS. ONE YOU'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT. WE HAVE NO JULY MEETING. NEXT MEETING WILL BE THE FIRST THURSDAY OF AUGUST. IT WOULD BE THE FIRST OF AUGUST 05:30. WE
[01:20:20]
TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT LAST MEETING AND I WAS GOING TO DO A POWERPOINT PRESENTATIN TO SHOW YOU, BUT WE DO NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TONIGHT. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT WE DO NEED SOME MEMBERS. DISTRICT TWO IS THE LANDING AREA UP TOWARDS OAKLEY. WE ALSO HAVE AN OPENING IN DISTRICT THREE WHICH IS BASICALLY THE GREATER ORANGE PARK AREA. THEN WE HAVE TWO AT-LARGE OPENINGS. ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTY EXCEPT DISTRICT FIVE WHICH IS THE LAKE ASBURY DOWN TO THE POLYLINE. WE ARE LOOKING FOR LANDING TO OAKLEY, ONE IN ORANGE PARK, AND THEN ANYWHERE EXCEPT PENNEY FARMS LAKE ASBURY DOWN TO THE COUNTY BORDER. IF THEY GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND LOOK FOR THE GOVERNMENT TAB UP AT THE TOP AND SEARCH FOR BOARDS AND COMMITTEES THEY WILL SEE A CITIZENS VOLUNTEER FORM. CITIZEN APPLICATION FORM IS WHAT IT IS CALLED. THEY CAN FILL THAT OUT. WORKING ON THE BRANDON FIELD APPLICATION AROUND MY OTHER WORK SO IT IS TAKING SOME TIME. WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT HAS TO BE SUBMITTED. IT IS A BIT BEYOND, BUT IT IS GETTING CLOSER.HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO WOULD BE THE GOAL. THAT IS
ALL I HAVE. >> ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. BOARD
[Board Member's Comments]
MEMBER COMMENTS. GO AHEAD WITH YOURS.>> APPROACH THE COMMANDING OFFICER OF CAMP LINTON ABOUT MAKING INFORMATION AVAILABLE ABOUT NOT RECEPTIVE TO EVEN THE INFORMATION. I TOOK 1000 PICTURES. I'M TRYING. JUST A MILITARY THING.
>> LIVE LONG ENOUGH MAYBE I CAN GET SOME RECORDS OF MY DAD WHO WAS ACTUALLY ASSIGNED TO INSPECT THE P.O.W. CAMPS IN FLORIDA.
MUCH IN THE WAY OF ACTUAL PERSONNEL RECORDS OF PEOPLE STAFFING IT. BUT MAYBE THEY DO. HAVE TO GO SQUEEZE IT OUT OF THEM IF THEY HAVE IT. OTHERWISE HAVE TO GO TO NATIONAL ARCHIVES, RECORD CENTERS. THE LOST A LOT OF STUFF IN THAT FIRE OF 1972. ANYWAY, THAT WOULD HELP TO FILL OUT THE STORIES IF THEY CAN BE RECOVERED.
SYMPATHETIC TO THE PRISONERS HE MET THERE. A LOT OF THEM WERE LIKE IS IN SOME WAY WE CAN STAY HERE AFTER THE WAR. WE DON'T
[01:25:03]
>> KEYSTONE HEIGHTS IS HAVING THEIR CENTENNIAL IN 2025. WE HAVE A VERY ACTIVE FACEBOOK PAGE OF WHICH BILLY CAN ATTEST TO BECAUSE HE GOT A LOT OF THE INFORMATION RIGHT OFF THAT PAGE. WE ALSO ARE SCHEDULING AN INTERIOR TOUR OF HOMES IN SEPTEMBER. THEY PLAN ON DOING ANOTHER ONE IN 2025 IN DECEMBER FOR CHRISTMAS SEEMED HOMES. IN REGARDS TO THE MUSEUM YOU MENTIONED, I DID PROPOSE A MUSEUM AND IT WAS BASICALLY SHOT DOWN. AND IT WAS BECAUSE OF BUDGET AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
THERE WAS VERY GOOD REASON. TO BRING THAT BACK UP AGAIN I PROPOSED A POP-UP MUSEUM FOR JUST A WEEKEND TO BE HELD IN THE PAVILION WHICH IS RIGHT THERE --. WE PLAN ON DOING THAT IN APRIL OF 2025. WE WILL BRING IN SPEAKERS THAT ARE EXPERTS AND HAVE THE MUSEUM -- WE WILL BRING ALL THE ARTIFACTS WE HAVE. WE HAVE SO MANY. EVERYTHING FROM THINGS FROM NASA TO THE OLD SIGN THAT USED TO LIGHT UP ABOVE THE KEYSTONE IN. WE HAVE A LOT OF STUFF. WE WILL BRING EVERYTHING IN FOR THE WEEKEND INTO THE PAVILION. THEN HOST THIS WHOLE OUTDOOR THEMED EVENT, KIND OF WHAT IT WAS SIMULTANEOUSLY. BUT IT WILL ONLY BE FOR A WEEKEND. JUST GOING TO SEE HOW MUCH INTEREST THERE IS FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WE CAN THEN GAUGE AND GET BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO SAY LOOK HOW THIS EVENT WAS SO POPULAR AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE A LITTLE MORE ENCOURAGING TO THEM TO COME UP WITH AN IDEA FOR A MORE PERMANENT MUSEUM. WAYS OF WORKING IT IN. ANOTHER ITEM I WANTED TO MENTION AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO BETH ABOUT THIS. WE HAVE A LARGE OAK TREE.
IT IS SPECTACULAR. RIGHT NEXT TO THE LIBRARY IN KEYSTONE HEIGHTS. WE ARE LOOKING TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS TREE IS PRESERVED. IT IS OVER 100 YEARS OLD. WE HAVE GONE AND HAD AN ARBORIST GIVE US INFORMATION ON THE TREE WITHOUT BORING INTO IT. BASED ON THIS EVALUATION IT IS OVER HUNDRED YEARS OLD. I AM TRYING TO FIND WAYS OF CHAMPIONING FOR THE TREE. WE COMPLETED THESE -- LIKE A BASIC RISK TREE ASSESSMENT. BETH GAVE ME THE INFORMATION . THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT TREES APPARENTLY. WHERE TO GO TO NOMINATE A TREE FOR A FLORIDA CHAMPION TREE. I AM WORKING ON THAT. BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE CANNOT NECESSARILY HAVE A BIG MARKER, BUT MAYBE THAT KIND OF MARKER YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WITH A QR CODE AND SOME LITTLE MARKER WE COULD HAVE JUST AS A DESIGNATION. THE IDEA OVERALL WAS THAT WE DON'T WANT ANYONE TO TEAR IT DOWN. BECAUSE KEYSTONE HEIGHTS IS GROWING AT SUCH A RATE AND THISTREE IS TAKING UP A LOT OF REAL ESTATE.
IT IS ON CITY PROPERTY. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HOPING. WITH THE DESIGNATION I WAS JUST WANTING TO GO IN THE DIRECTION OF MORE PRESERVATION THAN I'LL BRING THIS BACK TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR INPUT. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY OF YOUR COMMENTS BECAUSE YOU ARE ALL SO
[01:30:03]
KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT I AM NOT. IAPPRECIATE IT. THAT IS ALL. >> SAINT AUGUSTINE CAME UP WITH SOME IDEAS HUNDRED YEARS AGO WHEN THEY SAID THIS IS THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH. CIRCULATE A RUMOR ABOUT THE OAK.
INAUDIBLE ] >> I DON'T THINK THAT IS THE POINT OF THE PRESERVATION BOARD, HOWEVER. I WOULD LIKE YOUR OPINION AS WE WORKED ON THAT PATH.
>> WITH THE TOURISM BOARD, THAT MIGHT BE ANOTHER FEATURE THAT PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO GO SEE. RIGHT NOW PEOPLE HAVE WEDDINGS UNDER THERE. THEY TAKE THEIR KIDS GRADUATION PICTURES THERE.
LOTS OF PEOPLE TAKE THEIR FAMILY PHOTOS THERE. IT IS A VERY WELL PHOTOGRAPHED TREE AND AREA. THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT TIES INTO THE TERMS THAT WE COULD HAVE WITH THE QR CODES
AND TOURISM MAP. >> MAY WANT TO MEASURE THE CIRCUMFERENCE. THE STATE ALREADY HAS A RECORD. AWESOME.
>> THIS IS GOING TO BE MY LAST MEETING ON THE BOARD. I AM MOVING TO SAY AUGENSTEIN. GOT A PLACE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
I WILL BE MOVING OVER THERE. JUST TELLING BETH
>> SOMETHING IN WRITING. THAT'S ALL.
>> ALL RIGHT IT DOWN. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
THEN. >> BEST OF LUCK IN SAINT AUGUSTINE. WHAT DISTRICT ARE YOU REPRESENTING?
>> MIDDLEBURG AREA. DISTRICT ONE? NOT SURE IF IT'S ONE OR
TWO. >> MAKE ME DO -- BE A TREASURER.
>> WHERE IS IT SUPPOSED TO GO? DO YOU WANT ME TO JUST TAKE IT?
>> IT IS FOR THE MUSEUM I THINK. SHE'S GONE. I'LL TAKE
>> ANY OTHER
