Machine transcription of the recording of the Terre Haute Parks and Recreation Board meeting on 2026-08-20, aligned to the video timeline. This is not the official record — the clerk's minutes are, and this is unreviewed automatic speech recognition that mis-hears names and numbers. Check anything that matters against the recording.

Each line is stamped with its position in the recording, both as a clock time and as [t=SECONDS]. Those are the same seconds the archive's source links use: open the recording and add &t=<seconds> to jump to any line.

Speakers were separated automatically and named from the meeting's speaker roster where the evidence supported it; an unnamed voice is shown as Speaker <n>, which is a machine label and not a person's name.

0:00:00 [t=0] Speaker 0 (staff): And then we did the installation and we are responsible for maintenance. I will say we had one issue with one of the libraries and we had reached out to Ireland to see if she could help us repair those and she agreed it was going to be a non-mulphie for us. But it seems like the Little Free Library crew and all the supporters are very sweet about helping us make those, keep those looking nice. That is ultimately our responsibility.
0:00:24 [t=24] Speaker 3 (board member): Okay, I wasn't sure what the arrangement informally or informally was, what the other volunteers did with that. Is there a motion to approve? So, second.
0:00:35 [t=35] Speaker 5 (chair): Is there any other discussion or questions for Kylie? I'm not sure what was your name yet. Christy. Christy. Any questions for Christy? All those in favor? Aye. Aye. We have a 300 vote to approve agenda item 4D of Orrhees Park, Little Free Library. Thank you for your volunteer work with us and helping enhance our parks. We appreciate it.
0:00:58 [t=58] Speaker 7: Thanks for the rest of the year. We'll pick the selection that you propose and our team will help you install it.
0:01:04 [t=64] Speaker 11: Okay. Let's do another email.
0:01:06 [t=66] Speaker 5 (chair): Okay. Sounds good. Thanks a bunch. That brings us to a new business agenda item 4E, staff reports and members office updates.
0:01:15 [t=75] Speaker 15: Mike, would you like to leave with any updates on your end?
0:01:21 [t=81] Speaker 18: No, I don't. Yeah.
0:01:24 [t=84] Speaker 0 (staff): All good. We're going through, and as I mentioned, we do expect a delay with the Ray Park Clubhouse. There have been various reasons for that. Ultimately, the Board of Public Works will decide whether those are warranted, but on the back end, Brad and I have been evaluating all of the requests, just trying to save costs and get this done as quickly as possible. So as soon as we have the formal proposal approved, it will come to both the U.N. Board of Public Works. Just wanted to make sure you all know what to test them at a time.
0:01:58 [t=118] Speaker 0 (staff): Right now, they are, their scheduled completion date is September 1st. We recently extended that one. And we've been pretty adamant with them to say, hey, you know, you need to give your request for extension maybe before the day your outtake expires. So we're really encouraging them to get that to us more promptly. But it sounds like they're going to try to get that to us within the next week and request an extension to November 10th. But we'll see without answering that.
0:02:26 [t=146] Speaker 22 (board member): What was the original opening time? July 1st. July?
