Electric car parking spaces and fair
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

See there's a picture. If you read that sign, it says Uh David Goldstein. So it's a special little parking space just for him. So funny. I've been pretty amazed with uh the idea he drives an electric car. And I've been uh talking about putting a sign up there at one of those spaces for him when he comes and he's got his parking space and he can fuel while he's in a meeting. So But uh it's been pretty amazing talking to him about electric car. When in fact he
It was raining one day on the West West Side Government Center. And He didn't have an umbrella with him, but he Goes on his app and his phone. And tells his car to come pick him up. Oh. Yeah. And he did it. And it came around to the front and he got in and drove off. So But he actually did it. So it's pretty amazing. uh electric cars and uh you know technology and all that's coming forward. So so
there
is
a plug at this parking spot?
There's there's been two there for quite a while. We we'll announce it's a while back, but I guess You get so nobody remembers cause everybody's not driving electric car. But if you had an electric car you'd be interested in those two spots right over here on
the corner.
electric plugins.
and um uh James Walters and he is thinking of painting that those two spaces green so that we will continue having those spaces open for electric cars only and not other people parking there where the electric cars can't park and fill their fuel up. So It's a good thing. So that's basically that's all I have today.
I wonder if we have enough plug-in spaces.
'Cause my next car is probably
gonna be.
I see a few cars other than um Mr. Ghostin's, but uh Mainly his when he comes this way. So
All right. Thank you.
Okay.
How's the fair going?
Gone.
It's gone.
It's done. How did it go? No, the fair went off very well, I think. They they spread it out a little bit this year, made the um I think they made the rodeo and nobody at the fair got to where they didn't believe that the rodeo actually brought people into the fair. And in actuality they moved it ahead of the fair for two nights and they had great attendance and brought in quite a bit of funds at the same time. So they proved themselves to be a good draw for the fair. So
they spread a lot of things out. They changed a few things how they were Uh the the show for the steers would be on Tuesday night rather than Wednesday and then on Thursday have the sale for the steers and then of course on um Uh Saturday they had the pig sale and all that. So but as far as I know it went very well the entire week. And it was Chamber of Commerce Weather. It was in the eighties most of the time. Oh, which is not Most of the time that's when we have our cold weather here. So But it went
very well.
