[00:00:04] THERE WE GO. IT IS SIX O'CLOCK [1. Call to Order] AND I WILL NOW CALL TO ORDER MEETING OF CHER'S, EDCA BOARD. PUBLIC COMMENTS. DO [2. Public Comments ] WE HAVE ANY? YES, WE DO. . OKAY. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS TIANA SLAN, AND I JUST WANTED TO COME AND SAY HELLO TO YOU GUYS. I'M A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BROKER IN THIS AREA. I LIVE AND WORK HERE. AND I JUST WANNA SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT ANELLE AND HER TEAM TODAY. AND I REALLY APPLAUD YOU FOR HIRING A RETAIL COACH. IT'S BEEN REALLY HELPFUL, UH, FROM THE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE PERSPECTIVE TO REACH OUT TO ANELLE AND THE TEAM AND ASK FOR TRAFFIC COUNTS, ASK FOR VARIOUS THINGS THAT YOU ALREADY COMMISSIONED RETAIL COACH TO DO. IT'S BEEN A VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE FOR ME, AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE THAT. IT'S REALLY HELPFUL. THANK YOU. COOL. ANYTHING ELSE? NOPE. OKAY. ITEM NUMBER THREE, [3. Discussion and possible action on support of CIP projects for the FY24-25 budget year.] DISCUSSION IMPOSSIBLE ACTION ON SUPPORT OF CIP PROJECTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 24 25 BUDGET. GOOD EVENING BOARD. UM, AS Y'ALL REMEMBER, LAST MONTH, WE HEARD FROM OUR PUBLIC WORKS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR TIFFANY SAUTER, AND SHE PRESENTED YOU WITH TWO POSSIBLE OPTIONS AND REQUESTED FUNDING, UM, FOR TWO CIP PROJECTS. UH, WE HAVE A STAFF RECOMMENDATION TONIGHT. UM, I DID SEND OUT A MEMO TO JUST KIND OF RECAP OUR FUND BALANCE PREVIOUS, UM, CONTRIBUTIONS TO OTHER, UM, PROJECTS. AND TIFFANY IS HERE TONIGHT. UM, IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROJECT ITSELF OR THE TIMELINE, UM, ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING AS A TEAM AFTER, UM, CONTINUED CONVERSATIONS WITH, UH, TIFFANY AS WELL IS THAT THE, THE BOARD CONSIDERS SUPPORT TOWARDS THE EAST SIDE DRAINAGE PROJECT. UM, THAT PROJECT, THE REMAINING AMOUNT ON IT IS $3,473,000. WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT Y CONSIDER, UM, FUNDING HALF OF THAT, WHETHER THAT'S A BOARD IN TOTAL OR A SPLIT WITH B BOARD. UM, THAT'S GONNA BE UP TO YOU. SO, UM, LET ME KNOW IF I NEED A BACKUP OR SAY IT MULTIPLE TIMES THAT LAST, UH, FISCAL YEAR, OR I GUESS IT WAS THE, THE ONE BEFORE. UM, BOTH A AND B BOARD CONTRIBUTED TOWARDS THIS PROJECT, $625,000 EACH. UM, MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THAT WE CONTRIBUTE HALF OF THE TOTAL, AND IF, UH, BECAUSE THIS PROJECT IS ONE OF THOSE, THAT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT A BOARD IS DEFINED TO DO, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU FUND THE MAJORITY OF IT AND B, UM, FUND THE 6 25 THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY GIVEN TO THE PROJECT. AND SO THAT WOULD LEAVE FOR YOU, UM, UH, $1,111,500. SO WE COULD ROUND THAT UP TO 1,115,000. SO, UM, OUR B BOARD MEETING IS NOT UNTIL NEXT WEEK. SO OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR THEM WOULD BE THAT THEY WOULD PICK UP THAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR AMOUNT AND WHAT WOULD EQUAL HALF OF THE COST OF THE TOTAL PROJECT. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? ? OKAY. CAN I, LET ME, I THINK I HEAR, HEARD WHAT YOU SAID, SO LET ME RE LET ME REPEAT IT BACK TO YOU. SURE. AND I'M GONNA DO IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT MATHEMATICALLY WAY AND MAYBE THAT'LL MAKE SENSE TO PATRICK. I DON'T KNOW. OKAY. SO WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING IS IN TOTAL THE TWO EDC BOARDS PAY FOR HALF OF THE TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT, OF THE TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT. MM-HMM. AND OF THAT HALF, UH, EDCA BOARD PAY TWO THIRDS, ESSENTIALLY. MM-HMM. . YEAH. OKAY. SO TWO THIRDS OF HALF OF THE WHOLE PROJECT . YEAH. THAT'S A GOOD, THAT'S A GOOD RECAP. AND, UM, THERE, THERE ARE A FEW REASONS FOR, UM, FOR THIS RECOMMENDATION, THE FIRST BEING THAT THIS IS THE, OF, OF THE CHOICES, THIS WOULD BE THE PROJECT THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO GET STARTED, UM, THE QUICKEST. AND SO OUR HOPE IS THAT JUST LIKE HARRIS STREET, WE'RE HOPING, YOU KNOW, TO BREAK GROUND WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. UM, OUR HOPE IS THAT WE CAN PLACE SOMETHING, UM, ON OUR BUDGET THAT ACTUALLY GETS STARTED THAT THAT YEAR. SOME OF THE OTHER, UM, PROJECTS [00:05:01] HAVE A LONGER TIMELINE UNTIL THEY'RE ACTUALLY READY TO GET STARTED. AND SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE CAN CONSIDER THOSE JUST IN THE SAME PROCESS THAT WE DID THIS IN THE FUTURE YEARS. AND I THINK, UM, I, I REALLY PREFER PUTTING AS MUCH AS WE CAN TOWARDS ONE PROJECT AND SEEING IT THROUGH TO COMPLETION THAN SPLITTING LITTLE AMOUNTS TO, TO MULTIPLE PROJECTS AND THEN STILL HAVING THE CHALLENGE OF FINDING THE, THE REST OF THAT FUNDING. SO IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO NOT PUT ANYTHING TOWARDS A TRI TRIBUTARY DRAINAGE FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR? YES. FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR? MM-HMM, . OKAY. SO IF, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS FISCAL YEAR, BECAUSE IN MY, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE'S ONLY A ONE MONTH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION START DATE BETWEEN THE EAST SIDE PROJECT AND THE TRIBUTARY PROJECT. IS THAT RIGHT? ESTIMATED, I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE SLIDES. SURE. TIFFANY, CAN YOU CLARIFY? GOOD EVENING. HEY, TIFFANY, WE ALSO, JUST TO ADD REAL QUICK, WE ALSO ACCOUNTED FOR, UM, THE ORDER AND PRIORITY, UM, FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS TEAM. SO IF, EVEN IF IT'S JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN TIMING, THE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE TO FINISH AND HOW WHAT IT TRIGGERS WAS ALSO TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. SO YES, THE, AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE SCHEDULE THAT WE HAVE IS THERE IS A ONE MONTH DIFFERENCE. UM, THE GRAND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE IS THAT THE DOWNTOWN EAST SIDE DRAINAGE, WHICH WE ALSO CALL FOURTH STREET, IS UM, ESSENTIALLY DESIGNED. UM, WHAT WE ARE WAITING ON RIGHT NOW IS, UM, WE HAVE A DRAFT EASEMENT DOCUMENT THAT'S BEING REVIEWED. UM, ONCE THAT REVIEW IS COMPLETED BY OUR LEGAL TEAM, THEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH, UH, ACQUIRING THAT EASEMENT AND SUBMITTING IT TO THE LANDOWNER SO THAT THEY CAN REVIEW, UM, AND, YOU KNOW, PROCESS MOVE THAT FORWARD VERSUS THE TRIBUTARY IS, UM, EXPECTED TO BE AT ABOUT 30%, I THINK LATER THIS MONTH. UM, SO YOU HAVE ONE THAT IS ESSENTIALLY A HUNDRED PERCENT DESIGNED. UM, AND AS SOON AS THE CITY HAS THE NECESSARY EASEMENT AND THE FUNDING, THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD. OKAY. WHEN, JUST GENERALLY SPEAKING, I HAVE MY MAIN ISSUE, UH, IN ANY, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ANY OF THIS, THIS FUNDING IS I DON'T WANT US TO RUN OUTTA MONEY AND THEN COME SOMEBODY, WHETHER IT'S PUBLIC WORKS OR A, A COMMERCIAL THAT WOULD FIT RIGHT IN OUR WHEELHOUSE AND THEN WE SAY, SORRY, WE'RE OUT OF MONEY. THAT'S MY NUMBER ONE CONCERN. MM-HMM. . UM, MY SECOND IS, ESPECIALLY ON THIS PROJECT, I'M TRYING, I'M NOT ENGINEER, BUT I'M LOOKING AT MAPS THAT OVERLAP EACH OTHER AND THEY BOTH SAY DRAINAGE ON THEM. UM, AND WHEN I ADD THE NUMBERS UP, UH, WE'RE AT, WHAT, 7 MILLION? SO IS THIS A 7 MILLION IN TOTAL? IS THIS A $7 MILLION PROJECT? THE DOWNTOWN EAST SIDE DRAINAGE IN TOTAL IS A LITTLE OVER 3.9 ESTIMATED. YES. AND THEN THE, THE TRIBUTARY, THE TRIBUTARY IS 3.1? YES. SO THAT'S TOTAL IN SEVEN? YES. BUT FOR DRAINAGE, BUT TWO SEPARATE PROJECTS. OKAY. THEY'RE TWO SEPARATE PROJECTS, BUT THEY DO THE SAME THING IN THE SAME PART OF TOWN. IS THAT ALL OF WHAT WOULD BE DONE IN THE DOWNTOWN EAST SIDE DRAINAGE WOULD FLOW TO THE TRIBUTARY? OKAY. SO THE TRIBUTARY IS, CLIFF CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. UM, IS EXPANDING THAT TO BE ABLE TO HOLD MORE FOR ALL OF THAT TO FLOW THROUGH VERSUS FOURTH STREET, UM, WILL HELP TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT, AMOUNT OF PARCELS THAT HAVE TO HAVE INDIVIDUAL DRAINAGE ON SITE. OKAY. SO IF THERE IS DEVELOPMENT THAT COMES THROUGH CURRENTLY, THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THEIR OWN DETENTION ON SITE. UM, DOWNTOWN EAST SIDE DRAINAGE WILL HELP TO ALLEVIATE THAT AND ALLOW FOR MORE DEVELOPMENT TO HAPPEN WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE THEIR OWN DETENTION. OKAY. BUT IF, OKAY, SO IF WE'RE HAVING THAT CONVERSATION, MOST OF THE PROPERTIES ON THE EAST SIDE IS RESIDENTIAL. IT'S ALL ZONED DOWNTOWN DISTRICT. YEAH. I MEAN, BUT THEY'RE CURRENTLY HOUSES ON THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE LOTS. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. UNLESS, SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT, AND I'M, I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS IN THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT, . OKAY. BUT WHEN I SEE, SO WHEN I SEE THOSE PROPERTIES, I SEE ONE, THERE'S ONE, IS THAT RIGHT? IS THERE CURRENTLY THAT'S JUST LIKE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S THERE. THEY, THEY REGRADED IT AND EVERYONE'S LIKE, WHAT ARE THEY PUTTING THERE? AND NO ONE KNOW THERE'S, [00:10:01] THERE'S MORE THAN ONE ON THE EAST SIDE IN THIS, IN THIS MAP AREA THAT I'M LOOKING AT. YEAH, SO THERE'S QUITE A FEW ON, I GUESS THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE GRID. OKAY. UM, KIND OF WRAPPING AROUND, I GUESS. SO FROM LIKE HOUSTON STREET, HOUSTON STREET AND ALL OF THAT. UM, AND THEN REALLY THE, THE GOAL WITH THIS IS TO NOT SERVE EXISTING. IT'S TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR IF HOUSES ARE REDESIGNED, IF, UH, SOME SORT OF COMMERCIAL PROJECT WANTS TO COME IN AND, AND BUILD OUT, THEY HAVE THAT ABILITY TO NOT HAVE DETENTION ON SITE. SURE. SO IT'S REALLY, IT'S REALLY A, A FORWARD THINKING PROJECT RATHER THAN WITH, SO YOU MADE A COMMENT, BRIAN, ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S STILL FUNDS AVAILABLE TO INCENTIVIZE OTHER DEVELOPMENT THERE WOULD BE WITH THE RECOMMENDED NUMBERS. OKAY. UM, AND THIS, I MEAN, IF YOU LOOK AT IT, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, THIS IS KIND OF A MORE PROACTIVE WAY TO ALREADY PROVIDE AN INCENTIVE BY MAKING SURE THAT, THAT THE COST THAT THEY WOULD INCUR FROM DEVELOPMENT ON DRAINAGE ISN'T SOMETHING THEY HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS? AND I THINK I ASKED THIS QUESTION LAST MONTH, BUT THAT WAS A MONTH AGO, . UM, SO REMIND ME, UM, THERE'S NO, UH, I GUESS DEPENDENCIES BETWEEN THESE TWO PROJECTS IN TERMS OF IF YOU START WITH EAST SIDE DRAINAGE, LIKE THE, THAT DOESN'T IMPACT THE TRIBUTARY DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. IT'S NOT AS LIKE THE TRIBUTARY DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS DON'T NEED TO GO FIRST OR VICE VERSA. I BELIEVE THAT, UM, STEVEN AND CLIFF CAN ANSWER THIS BETTER PROBABLY THAN I CAN, BUT I BELIEVE STEVEN ANSWERED IT IN A WAY THAT WE NEED TO DO THE TRIBUTARY. BUT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE DOWNTOWN EAST SIDE FIRST, AND THEN THE TRIBUTARY WAS JUST AWARDED, UM, I THINK LAST FALL FOR THE DESIGN. SO THAT THEY BOTH NEED TO HAPPEN. BUT I DON'T THINK FOURTH STREET IS DEPENDENT. YEAH. THEY WORK, THEY WORK TOGETHER INDEPENDENTLY THOUGH. UM, SO FOURTH STREET CURRENTLY WILL DRAIN KIND OF MIDDLE, MIDDLE SOUTHERN DOWNTOWN, UM, KIND OF IN THE DOZERS AREA. THE, THE PROPERTY THAT HAS BEEN CLEARED, ONE OF THE REASONS THEY HAVEN'T MOVED FORWARD IS THEY'VE GOT A BIG, THEY HAD A DRAINAGE DITCH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY. THEY MOVED IT TO THE SOUTHERN END OF THE PROPERTY. THEY WANT TO CLOSE THAT. WELL, THEY CAN'T DO THAT UNTIL FOURTH STREET IS COMPLETE, WHICH HELPS MARKET THAT PROPERTY. UM, SO THEY WORK INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER, BUT THE TRIBUTARY WILL ULTIMATELY HOLD DETENTION SPACE FOR SOME OF THE NORTHERN PROPERTIES, SOME OF THE STUFF THAT'S DRAINING SOUTH THROUGH THERE. UM, THE BLACKBURN PROPERTY, UH, WHICH WILL BE JUST SOUTH OF HUGGINS. SO THEY'LL, THEY'LL WORK TOGETHER. BUT FOURTH STREET WILL DO THE BULK OF THE HEAVY LIFTING IN THE CURRENT DOWNTOWN DISTRICT. SO BASICALLY MAKE . SO WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT BUDGET? WHO CAME UP WITH THESE NUMBERS? WE UTILIZE A COST ESTIMATE THAT'S PROVIDED BY THE ENGINEER. IT'S A COST ESTIMATE PROVIDED BY A THIRD PARTY ENGINEER OR LIKE A CONSULTING GROUP, THE CONSULTANT THAT'S, UH, DESIGNING THE PROJECT. AND, AND WHAT OTHER PROJECTS HAVE WE WORKED WITH HIM ON BEFORE? UH, HE WAS THE ENGINEER THAT WAS HERE LAST MONTH AND THEY HAVE, UM, THEY ALSO DID THE DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN FOR, FOR SURE. OKAY. SO NOT PRIMROSE PARK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? NO. OKAY. I ALSO WANTED TO REMIND Y'ALL THAT, UM, YOUR VOTE TONIGHT EXPRESSES YOUR INTENTION TO SUPPORT, UM, WHATEVER AMOUNT YOU DECIDE ON AND YOU VOTE ON. THAT'S A RECOMMENDATION FOR US TO INCLUDE IN THE BUDGET PROCESS. SO THAT WOULD ALSO STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT WHOLE PROCESS, WHICH MEANS WE WOULD HAVE TO PUT PUBLIC HEARINGS OUT AND TAKE INTO ACCOUNT COMMENTS THAT ARE MADE DURING THAT PROCESS, AND THEN ALSO BE SUBJECT TO COUNCIL'S FINAL APPROVAL. UM, IF YOU REMEMBER IN THE PROCESS, WE USUALLY MAKE A LIST OF ALL OF OUR PROPOSED PROJECTS THAT THE EDC APPROVES IN OUR BUDGET PROCESS, AND THEN THEY GIVE THAT FINAL BLESSING TO MOVE FORWARD. SO IT'S NOT A, YOU KNOW, DEFINITE THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING, IT'S JUST YOUR INTENTION SO THAT BOTH DEPARTMENTS CAN MOVE FORWARD AND PLAN ACCORDINGLY WITH ALL THE OTHER PRIORITIES THAT WE'RE, WE'RE ALL, UM, JUGGLING. CAN WE PRESENT OUR MAE CIP OR PRELIMINARY MACE, UH, OR EXCUSE ME, OUR PRELIMINARY CIP IN MAY TO COUNCIL FOR THE, UH, FY 25 BUDGET? [00:15:05] UH, WHERE'S THE REST OF THE FUNDING GOING TO COME FROM? THE CITY'S GENERAL FUND WOULD BE IT, ASSUMING THAT THEY FUND IT, THAT WOULD, IT WOULD BE THE GENERAL FUND. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? UM, SO FIRST OF ALL, I MEAN, I MEAN THIS IS WHAT THE EZCA BOARD IS DESIGNED TO DO IS INFRASTRUCTURE, ESPECIALLY DRAINAGE PROJECTS. SO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS A NO-BRAINER FOR US TO, TO SUPPORT THE OTHER. THE FLIP SIDE IS, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE UNLIMITED FUNDS AND I THINK WE'RE LOOKING TO ANELLE AND HAYDEN TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, WE HAVE FUNDS THAT WE, THAT AGAIN, ARE SUPPORTING OF THESE VARIOUS PROJECTS. I MEAN, AGAIN, WE'RE THE, A BOARD IS SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE. UM, AND I THINK THAT THIS DOES THAT AND I THINK ALL THE OTHER PROJECTS YOU BRING TO US ARE GOING TO DO THAT. IT'S JUST WE DON'T HAVE AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF MONEY. UM, THAT DOES LIMIT US IN TERMS OF ANYTHING THAT THE B BOARD MIGHT WANT US TO SUPPORT. UH, I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, AT LEAST ON PROMOTIONAL ITEMS, UH, WE'D STILL HAVE OUR 10% I GUESS. UM, OKAY. THAT'S THE ONE LINE ITEM THAT CAN ROLL OVER. OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? UM, I WILL MOTION THAT WE, UH, MOVE FORWARD WITH A PROPOSAL TO FUND TWO THIRDS OF ONE HALF OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE EAST SIDE DRAINAGE PROJECT FOR FISCAL YEAR. BONNIE CAN, SORRY, CAN WE DO ONE MILLION ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN THOUSAND ONE MILLION ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN THOUSAND TOWARDS THE EAST SIDE DRAINAGE TOWARDS THE EAST SIDE DRAINAGE OBJECT. DO I HEAR A SECOND? I SECOND. OKAY. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY. UH, ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AYE. THE AYES HAVE IT. SO WE HAVE, WE HAVE SUPPORTED OUR INTENT, , YOU'VE STATED YOUR INTENT TO SUPPORT, WHICH, WHICH WILL APPARENTLY WE HAVE SEVERAL MORE PROCESS HURDLES TO GO THROUGH. OKAY. MM-HMM. THANK Y. IS THAT IT? WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT. THANK YOU. AND CAN I KEEP TALKING? I THINK SO. WE'RE MORE OR LESS ON THIS AGENDA ITEM. , UH, THANK YOU FOR COMING. LIKE, AND HAVING MORE THAN HAVING, I THINK WE ALL FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO WHETHER THAT'S SENDING US IN THIS IS THIS, THESE SLIDES HERE I FOUND VERY, VERY USEFUL, UH, IN TERMS OF MONEY, IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY DO, THE NO UNDERSTANDING THE TRIBUTARY DRAINAGE PROJECT VERSUS THE EAST SIDE DRAINAGE PROJECT. 'CAUSE THEN WE'RE GONNA GET INTO THE WEST SIDE DRAINAGE PROJECT, WHICH AT LEAST WE HAVE NAMES THAT MAKES SENSE . UM, UM, SO THAT IF Y'ALL, I KNOW IT'S WORK, BUT FOR US, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IT IS USEFUL WORK, UH, AND MAKES OUR JOB MUCH, MUCH EASIER, UH, TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS. SO ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, WHETHER IT'S JUST UPDATING A SLIDE PACK AND PASSING IT ON TO THEM AND LETTING THEM PASS IT ON TO US, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT AT THE MEETINGS, IS SO, SO USEFUL. THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK. ITEM NUMBER FOUR, UPDATE [4. Update on Harris Street reconstruction.] ON HARRIS STREET RECONSTRUCTION. THAT'S WELCOME, TIFFANY. GOOD EVENING. UM, SO WE DID RECEIVE, UH, THE FINAL PLANS AND SPEC BOOK FROM THE CONSULTANT FOR HARRIS STREET. UM, CLIFF HAS REVIEWED THEM FROM AN ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE AND PROVIDED COMMENTS. UM, UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE COMMENTS THAT HAVE, UM, THAT ARE CAUSING SOME ADDITIONAL TIME TO ADDRESS THOSE COMMENTS. UM, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE TO ENSURE THAT WHAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT IS A GOOD PRODUCT. UM, SO THE ENGINEER HAS REFERENCED SOME THINGS THAT AREN'T APPLICABLE TO SHORE, AND WE HAVE PROVIDED THE EXPECTATION THAT THEY CORRECT THAT, UM, BEFORE WE PUT IT OUT FOR BID. SO WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO PUTTING IT OUT FOR BID. UM, BUT WE AREN'T THERE YET. VERY CLOSE. OKAY. [00:20:02] DO WE STILL HAVE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS? SO THAT'S PART OF OUR COMMENTS. UM, REALLY? YES. SO WHOEVER, EVERY SINGLE PERSON I'VE EVER HAD A CONVERSATION WITH, THEIR FIRST QUESTION IS THEY, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE, HOW MANY ELECTRICAL OUTLETS ARE WE GOING TO HAVE? SO, I MEAN, THIS IS A, THIS IS LIKE THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE, . SO THE, THE LIGHTING IS BEING PROPOSED AS AN ALTERNATE. UM, SO THAT IF IT DOES NOT COME WITHIN BUDGET, WE HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK TO YOU ALL FOR YOU TO CONSIDER THE LIGHTING IF, BECAUSE THAT WASN'T IN THE ORIGINAL SCOPE. UM, BUT IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL AND IT IS WITHIN BUDGET, THEN YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD JUST BE ABLE TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE SELECT TO AWARD. UM, BUT WE HAVE PROVIDED THE COMMENT TO ENSURE THAT THOSE, UM, THE LIGHTING WITHIN THE PLAZA DOES HAVE THE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS. IT'S BEEN A BIT TRYING, BUT WE'RE MOVING CLOSER. . ANYTHING ELSE? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ANYONE HAS ON THIS PROJECT? I WILL SAY, UM, THEIR STAFF HAS DONE A GREAT JOB OF MAKING SURE AT EVERY TURN WHEN, UM, DECISIONS HAVE TO BE MADE, THEY ARE TAKING OUR INPUT INTO ACCOUNT. AND WE HAVE THAT LIST OF ALL THE PRIORITIES THAT YOU ALL ESTABLISHED THAT WE'VE HEARD PEOPLE COME AND GIVE DURING PUBLIC COMMENT. SO IT'S, IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE HAD GREAT COMMUNICATION THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS. SO, UM, WE'LL DO OUR VERY BEST. THANK YOU. I, NUMBER FIVE, [5. Economic Development Report] ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REPORT. ALRIGHT. UM, I'LL START OFF WITH THE RETAIL COACH UPDATE. UM, AS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, WE HAVE ICSC COMING UP IN VEGAS NEXT MONTH. SO AARON AND HIS TEAM WILL BE THERE TO REPRESENT, UM, THE CITY OF FULCHER. AND, UM, THEY'RE STILL IN CONVERSATION WITH A FEW DIFFERENT GROUPS. WE, UM, JUST CONSTANTLY STAY IN COMMUNICATION, GIVING UPDATES ON POTENTIAL NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT WOULD BE GOOD FIT FOR THE INTERESTED PARTIES. UM, THIS THIS MONTH, UM, IS A LITTLE ODD. WE DON'T HAVE LIKE ANY ACTUAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF A NEW BUSINESS FOR SURE, YOU KNOW, COMING OR, UM, ANY BUSINESS THAT HAS OPENED UP IN THIS IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS. BUT THERE IS A LOT OF WORK STILL HAPPENING AND A LOT OF CONNECTIONS BEING MADE, AND HOPEFULLY THOSE SITES WILL BE IDENTIFIED AND WE WILL MOVE FORWARD. I HAVE A, I HAVE A QUESTION. MM-HMM. . SO IN HIS REPORT, UM, HE REFERENCES, UH, LET'S START, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. UM, THE TC FOUR RESTAURANT GROUP. MM-HMM. IS LIKE, I THINK GETTING MIXED UP. DID I SHARE WITH B BOARD OR NOT? YOU DID. YES. SO, UM, SO TC FOUR, THEY, UM, THEY HAVE A COUPLE DIFFERENT, I THINK FOUR OR FIVE, MAYBE FOUR, MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY'RE GC FOUR. THEY HAVE A COUPLE DIFFERENT, UH, RESTAURANT CONCEPTS, UM, THAT ARE MORE ALONG THE LINES OF I THINK LIKE LOCAL TABLE ESQUE. UM, THERE'S, THERE'S A PIZZA WINERY, BREWERY KIND OF THING. OKAY. UM, AND SO IT'S, IT'S BETTER SCALED, I GUESS, UM, UH, RESTAURANTS. SO, UH, WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED. THEY'RE LOOKING TO HAVE MULTIPLE CONCEPTS WITHIN THE CITY. UM, SO WE, WE THINK IT'D BE A REALLY GOOD FIT HERE. UM, I KNOW AARON IS TRYING TO GET THEM TO COME OUT FOR A COUPLE, UM, SITE VISITS WITH US, UM, SO WE CAN KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY BEST FIT IN, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THAT ONE. OKAY. I, MY, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE STARTED WORKING WITH THE RETAIL COACH, BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW, BUT THAT WAS THE INTENT WAS TO BRING IN THOSE TYPES OF, TO THOSE TYPES OF RESTAURANTS. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE NOTE ON HERE THAT HE WORKED, THAT HE WAS PART OF THE WHATABURGER DISCUSSION. SO WHEN HE SAYS THAT I, THE, THE GROUP THAT IS DOING THE WHATABURGER ALSO IS DOING A COUPLE OTHER PROJECTS WITHIN TOWN, WITHIN TOWN THAT ARE NOT WHATABURGER, THE OKAY. THAT WOULD BETTER FIT THE TC FOUR RESTAURANTS AND THAT SORT OF THING. OKAY. UM, SO SOMETIMES HE'S IN THE KNOW, HE'S IN THE, HE'S CONNECTED AND SO HE, HE'LL LET US KNOW WHAT HE FINDS OUT YEP. TO MAKE SURE IT'S ON OUR RADAR. WE'LL DO THE SAME. OKAY. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WAS LIKE A DIRECT, HE REACHED OUT TO MAKE THAT FEEL, BUT THE CHANNELS OF COMMUNICATION ARE REALLY HELPFUL. OKAY. TO GET LIKE THE LAST, THE MOST UP TO DATE INFORMATION. YEP. OKAY. I I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE ARE ALL CLEAR YES. THAT OUR EXPECTATION OF THE RETAIL COACH IS TO BRING IN THE, THE TC FOUR TYPE. I DON'T, I DON'T WANNA REFERENCE THEM 'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE, BUT TO REFERENCE TO, TO BE, TO BE THOSE HIGHER END RESTAURANTS THAT WE CAN HANG OUT AT, WE, ME AS A CITIZEN CAN HANG OUT AT ENJOY TIME WITH MY SPOUSE OR MY FAMILY AS OPPOSED TO [00:25:01] THE FAST FOOD PLACE. YEAH. RIGHT. I MEAN, IF WE HAVE FAST FOOD PLACES, THAT'S THE WAY IT IS. BUT AS AN EDC, I DON'T WANT TO BE PAYING THE RETAIL COACH TO BRING IN FAST FOOD. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND, AND I THINK AS WE'VE SEEN 1463 BUILD OUT AND THE AREA BY HEB AND THAT SORT OF THING, WE'RE, WE'RE KIND OF WHAT WE'RE VIEWING IS IT'S KIND OF THE, THE TAIL END OF A LOT OF THESE, UH, GENERIC FAST FOOD TYPE PLACES. AND, AND AS THE LARGER DEVELOPMENTS START COMING DOWN 10 93 AND 3 59 AND DOWNTOWN, UH, WE'D LIKE TO PLUG IN THESE BETTER QUALITY, UM, HIGHER END PLACES. AND SO WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE REALLY EXPECTING AARON TO KIND OF SHINE AS THESE, THESE UH, PLACES KIND OF COME ONLINE, UM, IN THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS. UM, SO WE'RE, WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THEM. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT? ALRIGHT, UM, I'LL MOVE ON TO THE UPDATE ON THE FULL SHARE FAST TRACK. WE HAD THE LAUNCH PARTY LAST TUESDAY AND THERE WERE ABOUT 55 60 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE. UM, WE HAD A GREAT INTEREST, I THINK ACTUALLY THEY'RE CLOSER TO 70 RSVPS, BUT YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES, SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN DAY OFF. UM, AND OUT OF THAT WE HAD 48 NEW COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN THE ONLINE PORTAL, WHICH IS GREAT. UH, AND OF THOSE, UM, SIX COMPANIES HAVE ALSO REGISTERED TO BE PART OF THAT COMMUNITY. UM, THE EVENT WAS SCHEDULED FOUR TO SIX. WE WERE THERE UNTIL ABOUT EIGHT. UM, PATRICK WAS THERE AS WELL. AND, UM, BRIAN, THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY. UM, THERE WERE PEOPLE STILL THERE WHEN WE LEFT AT EIGHT. JUST THAT COMMUNITY ASPECT, YOU KNOW, WAS, UM, VERY EVIDENT. I THINK PEOPLE GOT TO JUST HAVE A FEEL FOR WHAT, WHAT HAPPENS THERE. THERE WAS A, A VERY BRIEF PROGRAM JUST EXPLAINING WHAT THE CANON IS, WHAT RE FAST TRACK IS, HOW WE GOT HERE, AND, UM, UH, AN ACTIVITY THAT PEOPLE GOT TO DO LED BY MATT YELVINGTON, THE, THE RE FAST TRACK DIRECTOR. AND, UM, PEOPLE REALLY HAD GREAT CONVERSATIONS FROM THAT. SO WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT GOING FORWARD, THIS IS GONNA BE A GREAT RESOURCE FOR OUR LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS AND WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED, UM, ON ANYTHING ELSE THAT THAT COMES UP. THERE ARE, UM, EVENTS ALREADY SCHEDULED THIS MONTH AND I THINK NEXT MONTH. UM, AND THAT'S JUST THE, THE BEGINNING OF IT. THEY'RE GOING TO BE VERY RESPONSIVE TO COMMUNITY NEEDS. WE HAD, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE COME UP THAT SAYS, HEY, I JUST LAUNCHED MY, UM, VIRTUAL SERVICES BUSINESS TWO WEEKS AGO, BUT I CAN'T MAKE MEETINGS ON THESE TWO DAYS. SO THEY'LL WORK WITH THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER DAY OF THE WEEK THEY'RE SCHEDULING THE MEETINGS, UM, WORKS BEST FOR THE MAJORITY OF OF THE GROUP. AND, UM, MATT ALSO DID LET US KNOW THAT HIS DISTRIBUTION LIST IS UP TO 105 PEOPLE. SO THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ASKED TO BE KEPT, UM, UP TO DATE ON WHAT'S HAPPENING VIA EMAIL. AND I THINK THAT'S A JUST DIRECT RESULT OF HIS, UM, BEING OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND MEETING AS MANY OF THE STAKEHOLDERS AND LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS AS HE CAN. AND THEN THEM ALSO SUGGESTING, UM, OTHER PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE IN INTERESTED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. SO I THINK IT'S, IT WAS A GREAT LAUNCH PARTY AND WE'RE VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT THAT'LL LOOK LIKE IN THE NEXT COMING MONTHS. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? OKAY. THE NEXT IS OUR GATEWAY SIGNS. UM, A REPRESENTATIVE FOR THP HAS PROVIDED ALL THE REVIEW PROCESS DOCUMENTS TO, UM, KGA DEFOREST AND, UM, THEY'VE INCLUDED THE GUIDELINES FOR THE REVIEW COMMITTEE THAT WILL TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. THEY'RE BASICALLY REQUESTING, UM, A RENDERING OF THE MONUMENT, THE LOCATION, UM, THE DESCRIPTIONS, UH, AS THE DIMENSIONS, MATERIALS AND THE LANDSCAPE. SO EVERYTHING THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY GOT TO GIVE YOUR FEEDBACK ON THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THAT PACKET ON THE MAP, UM, IS BASICALLY WHAT THEY'RE NEEDING. UM, KGA TO FOREST JUST WANTED TO GET ALL THAT FIRST AND GET KIND OF A FEEL FOR IF THEY WOULD CONSIDER IT BEFORE MORE WORK AND TIME WAS PUT INTO, UM, REALLY FLESHING OUT THE WHOLE DESIGN AND, AND THE COST AND ALL OF THAT. SO, UM, I WAS TOLD BY THEIR REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE, THE BOARD HAS NOT MET SINCE DECEMBER AND THEIR, UM, LAST MEETING WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IN FEBRUARY, BUT IT'S BEEN POSTPONED, IT WAS POSTPONED LAST MONTH AS WELL. SO WE DON'T HAVE A DEFINITE DATE ON WHEN THEY WOULD MEET NEXT TO CONSIDER IT. UM, BUT HOPEFULLY, UM, THAT'LL HAPPEN. I WAS STILL WITHIN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS. THEY'RE REALLY TRYING TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE MEETING BEFORE MID-YEAR. UM, BUT IT MIGHT JUST BE A LITTLE BIT OF A SLOWER PROCESS THAN WE INITIALLY THOUGHT. [00:30:01] UM, I THINK THE, THE GOOD THING IS THAT EVERY AREA WHERE YOUR INPUT HAS BEEN REQUESTED HAS BEEN GIVEN. AND SO IT'S JUST A MATTER OF GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THEN RESPONDING TO THEIR FEEDBACK IF THERE'S ANY, UM, REQUEST TO MODIFY SIZE, DIMENSION, L LANDSCAPING, WHATEVER IT IS. UM, BUT JUST BEING READY THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT COULD COME BACK TO US AND OTHER DECISIONS MIGHT HAVE TO BE MADE. OKAY. SO NEXT, OUR EDC WEBSITE, UM, Y'ALL MIGHT REMEMBER WE, THE, THE COMPANY WE ORIGINALLY HAD SWITCHED OWNERS, AND SO WE'VE BEEN IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM ABOUT SOME EDITS. UM, THE EDITS THAT WE NEEDED TO MAKE WERE A LITTLE MORE COSTLY THAN WE INITIALLY THOUGHT. AND SO WE ARE GOING TO BASICALLY DEDICATE THE NEXT THREE MONTHS NOW THAT THE BICENTENNIAL THAT'S BEHIND US, WE, UM, ARE REALLY GONNA TRY OUR BEST TO WORK WITH WHAT'S CURRENTLY THERE TO REALLY IDENTIFY WHAT THE BIGGEST NEED IS IN TERMS OF DESIGN AND CONTENT, AND THEN, UM, USE THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR'S BUDGET TO, UM, TO SET OUT THAT THE MONEY THAT WE WOULD NEED TO MAKE THE CHANGES DEPENDING ON WHAT WE FEEL IS REALLY NECESSARY. WE DIDN'T WANNA JUST JUMP IN AND DO A REDESIGN WITHOUT REALLY SPENDING THE TIME, UM, ON IT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT, IT'S, IT'S THE RIGHT DECISION. IT'S BEEN KIND OF A LONG, DIFFICULT PROCESS WITH THE WEBSITE AND, UM, WE GET, WE GET SOME COMMENTS ON, ON IT, UM, THAT ARE GOOD. AND I, WE JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S REALLY REACHING, SO WE KIND OF JUST NEED TO DIVE DEEP AND UTILIZE IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. UM, A LOT OF THE DOCUMENTS THAT WE ALWAYS GOT REQUESTED VIA EMAIL, YOU KNOW, NOW IT'S EASY TO SEND TO, TO THE WEBSITE AND THEY CAN JUST CLICK A LINK AND DOWNLOAD EVERY SINGLE THING FROM THERE THAT THEY CAN. SO, UM, IT, IT'S HELPFUL. I JUST DON'T THINK THAT IT'S BEEN UTILIZED TO ITS FULLEST YET. SO WE'LL BE FOCUSING ON THAT. WHAT CHANGES ARE YOU LOOKING TO MAKE? UM, OH GOSH. SO IT, SOME OF IT WAS FUNCTION AND LIKE JUST VISUALLY IT WAS DIFFICULT TO, UM, ADD CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE WANTED IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE COULD NAVIGATE TO WHERE IT MADE SENSE. UM, THE PREVIOUS WEBSITE DEVELOPER KIND OF LOCKED CERTAIN SECTIONS AND SO YOU'D KIND OF GO THROUGH DEAD SPACE, BUT WE COULDN'T GET RID OF IT. SO JUST HEADERS AND TABS THAT MADE NO SENSE FOR OUR EDC TO HAVE THAT WE COULD RENAME, BUT THEN LIKE THE FUNCTION WITHIN THAT PLACEHOLDER DIDN'T DO WHAT WE NEEDED IT TO DO. UM, IT'S KIND OF HARD TO EXPLAIN WITHOUT LOOKING AT IT. YEAH. LIKE, UM, IF THERE WERE CERTAIN IMAGES THAT WE WANTED TO PLACE THAT WE FELT LIKE REALLY CAPTURED THE ESSENCE OF, YOU KNOW, FULL SURE WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO, WE'D REPLACE THE IMAGE, BUT THE COLOR OF THE FONT WAS SET, YOU COULDN'T CHANGE IT. AND SO NOW THE WORDING ON IT WASN'T VISIBLE. IT'S THOSE KINDS OF, UM, JUST REALLY TECHNICAL THINGS THAT WERE MAKING IT CHALLENGING FOR US. UM, BUT JUST SEEING THE COST OF IT AND HOW MUCH WE'VE ALREADY PAID, WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE BEING GOOD STEWARDS OF WHAT WAS INVESTED IN, MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NOT SOMETHING WE CAN WORK INTERNALLY THAT WON'T ADD MORE COSTS BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD TO THE FULL REDESIGN. AND LASTLY, ON MY UPDATE, I HAVE THE STRATEGIC PLAN. UM, WE'VE SCHEDULED A SECOND VISIT WITH, UM, CHARLIE DRAL, WHO YOU'LL REMEMBER WAS, UM, THE INTERIM DIRECTOR BEFORE I GOT HERE. AND, UM, HE HAD VISITED US LAST NOVEMBER, I THINK FOR THE BEGINNING. WE HAD PRESENTED TO YOU THE PRIORITIES THAT WE HAD AND, UM, WE JUST WANTED TO SHIFT THOSE TIMELINES, MAKE SURE THOSE PRIORITIES STILL ALIGNED WITH THE BOARDS. UM, AND WE DID HALF OF THAT AND THEN CHRISTMAS HAPPENED AND THE BICENTENNIAL AND THIS. SO WE'RE JUST, UM, PICKING UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF AND CONTINUING THAT, UM, HOPEFULLY SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION AND IT CAN GUIDE THE BUDGET PROCESS AS WELL. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR MY UPDATE. UM, I WAS EXPECTING IN YOUR UPDATE TO THAT THERE WAS THE MAGAZINE HMM. THE, UM, RE FAST TRACK FEATURE IN THE MAGAZINE? NO, UH, THE MAGAZINE, WE, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE WE DID IT LAST YEAR. MM-HMM. . UM, BUT IT'S A MAGAZINE THAT GOES OUT TO HAYDEN. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? YEAH. THE EXPLORE RE MAGAZINE EXPLORE FULCHER MAGAZINE. YES. SO THIS YEAR, UM, WE DID NOT BRING IT TO, UH, TO THE BOARD BECAUSE SRE FAST TRACK IS ACTUALLY DOING THEIR OWN SECTION IN THERE. UM, WE DIDN'T WANT, THEY'RE DOING THEIR OWN SECTION. THEY IN THE SAME MAGAZINE THEY ARE. GOTCHA. SO IT'LL, IT'LL, THEY'LL TAKE THE PLACE OF US, ESSENTIALLY IT COMES OUT OF THEIR MARKETING BUDGET THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH EVERYTHING AND IT WILL BE DEDICATED TO RE FAST TRACK. OKAY. I KNOW THAT Y'ALL PUT IN [00:35:01] A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO THIS LAST YEAR AND I, I MEAN, MY UNDERSTANDING OF US, OF YOU, NOT US, OF YOU DOING THAT WORK SO MUCH WORK LAST YEAR WAS SO THAT IT COULD JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, YOU DO THE HEAVY LIFTING IN THE BEGINNING AND THEN YOU GET REAP THE AWARDS LATER. UM, ARE WE LOSING ANY OF THAT? UM, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE MAGAZINE? I DON'T, I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK, UM, LAST YEAR IT WOULD BASICALLY HAVE TO BE A WHOLE NEW ARTICLE. SO WE WOULD WRITE A NEW ARTICLE AND PROVIDE NEW PHOTOS. UM, SO IT'S JUST REALLY A MATTER OF IF THERE'S A CERTAIN MESSAGE THAT YOU REALLY WANT OUT THERE, UM, LET US KNOW AND WE'LL FIND THE BEST AVENUE TO MARKET IT. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE MAGAZINE, IT CAN BE A DIFFERENT AVENUE THAT YOU FEEL LIKE COULD REACH THE, THE TARGET AUDIENCE. UM, BUT WHEN WE, WHEN WE VISITED, I THINK IT WAS, THERE WAS A COUPLE DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT KEPT US FROM BRINGING IT TO Y'ALL, BUT IT WAS JUST THE TIMING, THE DEADLINE THAT THEY HAD, UM, WHEN THEY APPROACHED US WAS REALLY, REALLY CLOSE. AND SO WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO PUT TOGETHER TO COME PRESENT TO YOU AND MAKE THEIR DEADLINE AS WELL. AND SO THAT'S WHEN, UM, WE WERE SPEAKING WITH MATT AND IT JUST MADE SENSE THAT HE WAS READY AND HE COULD DESIGN SOMETHING AND IT WAS STILL BENEFITING WHAT THE EDC HAS ALREADY INVESTED IN. UM, AND JUST KIND OF HELPING SPREAD THE MESSAGE OF THE FULL SUR FAST TRACK. OKAY. YEAH. I, I MEAN MY, MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT WE HAD DONE, AGAIN, NOT WE, YOU HAD DONE ALL THIS WORK BEFORE AND IT WOULD JUST ROLL OVER INTO NEXT ISSUES AND THEN EVERY YEAR WE WOULD SAY, DO WE WANT TO KEEP DOING THIS? AND AT LEAST WHEN WE MADE THAT DECISION AS A BOARD, MY PERSONAL VIEW WAS WE WOULD KEEP DOING IT UNTIL WE NO LONGER WANTED. WE KNOW THE NICE RESTAURANTS AND THE NICE COMMERCIAL FACILITIES, , WE WERE FULL, WE'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT FULL. UH, AND I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR UNDERSTANDING BEFORE WAS THAT THOSE MAGAZINES WERE REACHING PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE DECISION MAKERS, UM, TO BRING IN WHAT WE WANTED. SO THAT'S WHY I WAS EXPECTING, UM, A CONTINUATION. YEAH, YEAH. OR SOME YEAH. STANDING PROCESS. MM-HMM. . YEAH. I CAN DEFINITELY CHECK, YOU KNOW, THE TIMELINE FOR THE NEXT ONE AND KIND OF HAVE THAT ON OUR CALENDAR. YEAH. AND OKAY. JUST KIND OF ESTABLISH THAT ON THE FRONT END. OKAY. SO THAT WE CAN DO THAT IN FUTURE. OKAY. IS THAT, IS THAT THE END FOR THE REPORT? MM-HMM. . OKAY. ITEM NUMBER SIX, DISCUSSION [6. Discussion on the City of Fulshear Bicentennial Celebration.] OF THE CITY OF RE BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. ALRIGHT. UM, PATRICK, YOU WERE THERE. WERE Y'ALL ABLE TO STOP BY? YES, MAAM. OKAY. UM, FEEL FREE TO ADD ANYTHING THAT I MIGHT MISS, BUT I WOULD SAY WE HAVE GOTTEN JUST INCREDIBLY POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM PRETTY MUCH EVERY ANGLE. UM, AND WE WERE JUST SO PROUD AND SO HAPPY THAT WE COULD, YOU KNOW, HAVE THAT, THAT PART IN THIS HISTORY OF SHORE. UM, IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL EVENT. I THINK THE COMMUNITY JUST REALLY SHOWED UP TO SUPPORT IT. UM, L-C-I-S-D WAS FANTASTIC TO WORK WITH. UM, THERE'S JUST SO MANY, SO MANY LITTLE DETAILS. UM, LIKE THE HEIGHT OF THE GRASS HAS TO BE FOR DRONES TO BE ABLE TO SIT THERE AND TAKE OFF. I MEAN, THE CRAZIEST LITTLE THINGS THAT THEY WERE SO KIND AND FRIENDLY AND READY TO ACCOMMODATE FOR, UM, JUST SCHEDULING WHEN LIGHTS WOULD COME OFF AND THINGS LIKE THAT. UM, WE HAD I THINK OF ABOUT 70 VENDORS THAT ACTUALLY SHOWED UP THAT DAY. WE HAD ABOUT 80 SCHEDULED. UM, BUT LIKE I SAID BEFORE, SOMETHING ALWAYS COMES UP THE DAY OF. UM, BUT JUST A GREAT VARIETY OF VENDORS AND, UM, THE COMMUNITY. I MEAN, THE EVENT STARTED AT FOUR AND AT 3 55 WE LOOKED DOWN IN STROLLERS AND FAMILIES, KIDS, COUPLES, I MEAN, JUST EVERYBODY. THE, THE FLOW WAS CONSTANT OF PEOPLE COMING IN AND ENJOYING THE EVENT. WE HAD A GREAT AMOUNT OF FOOD TRUCKS AND, UM, EVERYTHING JUST FLOWED REALLY SMOOTHLY. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORTED THAT THERE, THERE WEREN'T ANY ISSUES. NO SERIOUS EMS CALLS, NO LOST CHILDREN. SO THAT'S A BIG WIN. , UM, NO ALLIGATORS. UM, THERE WAS PLENTY OF PARKING. SO JUST A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE WORKED HARD TO CONSIDER IN THE PLANNING PROCESS, UM, REALLY, REALLY PAID OFF. AND THE CITY CAME TOGETHER. EVERY DEPARTMENT WAS REPRESENTED THERE. UM, I MEAN, IT WAS A, A LONG DAY, BUT IT WAS WONDERFUL. I HAD SO MANY COMMENTS AND I THINK ONE OF MY FAVORITE WAS, UM, WE CREATED A HISTORICAL NARRATIVE THAT WAS VOICE RECORDED BY, UM, THE, THE AUTOZONE VOICE GUY . AND THAT PLAYED, UM, AFTER THE MAYOR WAS DONE SPEAKING. AND IT JUST, IT GIVES YOU CHILLS JUST TO HEAR THE HISTORY TOLD [00:40:01] THAT WAY. UM, IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND I JUST LOOKED OVER AND THE MAYOR'S JUST . HE'S LIKE, THIS BAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS, THIS IS GREAT. UM, AND I GOT COMMENTS FROM VENDORS THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAD LIKE THE GOOSEBUMPS OF FEELING PRIDE OF, YOU KNOW, TO BE PART OF A COMMUNITY AND TO HEAR ABOUT MY HERITAGE, OUR HERITAGE COLLECTIVELY. AND I JUST FELT LIKE THAT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO CAPTURE AND TO TAKE THOSE COUPLE OF MINUTES, UM, WHEN WE HAVE SO MANY NEW RESIDENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, MOVING HERE TO SHORE. AND, UM, IT, IT REALLY WAS BEAUTIFUL. WE HAD A GREAT TIME. IT WAS A LOT OF WORK, BUT IT WAS INCREDIBLY WORTH IT. AND I THINK IT SET A REALLY HIGH STANDARD FOR EVENTS GOING FORWARD. SO IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY GREAT IDEAS THAT ARE COST EFFECTIVE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. , UM, YEAH, THERE WERE, UH, ANOTHER VENDOR SAID, MY DAD IS 80 YEARS OLD AND HE SAID THIS IS THE BEST EVENT HE'S EVER BEEN TO, UH, THE BEST FIREWORK SHOW. SOMEONE SAID THE FIREWORK SHOW FELT LIKE THE FINALE OF A SHOW, THE ENTIRETY OF THE TIME. UM, AND IT WAS, WHAT, 10 TO 12 MINUTES? SO JUST THE, THE DRONE SHOW BEING THE, THE 10 MINUTES AND THEN THE 12 MINUTES AFTER THAT. IT JUST REALLY FELT LIKE THE CELEBRATION THAT A BICENTENNIAL SHOULD, SHOULD RECEIVE. YEAH. PRETTY MUCH RUINED ALL FIREWORK SHOWS, THE FUTURE. IT, IT WAS INCREDIBLY WELL DONE, DONE. UH, THE PASSION BEHIND THE, OF EVERYBODY BEHIND THE SCENES. IT, IT SHOWED IN, IN THIS EVENT. UH, THE DRONE SHOW GAVE ME CHILLS WHEN THE, WHEN THE MUSIC CAME ON, WHEN GEORGE TRAIT CAME ON AND THEY HAD THE, THE MEXICAN FLAG WITH THE 1824 I I, IT WAS LIKE LIVING THROUGH A MOMENT OF HISTORY AND UH, DO WE HAVE THAT PLAYLIST? DOES SOMEBODY HAVE THAT PLAYLIST? OH YEAH. ALRIGHT. I'M GONNA FOLLOW UP WITH YOU HAYDEN ON THAT. HANDCRAFTED BY YOUR EDC TEAM. OH, IS THAT RIGHT? YOU GUYS, THAT, THAT PLAYLIST WAS, WAS INCREDIBLE. AND IT, IT WAS PERFECT FOR THAT MOMENT. AND UH, BRIAN, YOU MISSED IT. DON'T WORRY. THEY'RE GONNA HAVE ANOTHER ONE A HUNDRED YEARS. YEAH, THEN. EXACTLY. YEAH. WE MUST HAVE LISTENED TO 60 WHAT I THINK THAT WAS THE TOP 60 TEXAS SONGS AND WE SAT THERE AND CUT IT. NO, THIS DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT. AND THEN THE SAME FOR THE FIREWORK SHOW. SO IT WAS ALL VERY CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT. NO, YEAH, I THOUGHT EVERYTHING, I MEAN, I THOUGHT THAT LIKE, THE LAYOUT WAS REALLY NICE. UM, THE, IT WAS A REALLY GOOD SELECTION OF FOOD VENDORS. UM, I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD AMOUNT OF LIKE COVERAGE IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANTED TO GET OUT FROM UNDER THE, YOU KNOW, THE SUN. UM, I REALLY ENJOYED THE CONCERT. UM, IT WAS, BUT IT WAS ALSO NICE BECAUSE IT'S LIKE IF THE MUSIC WASN'T TOO LOUD, LIKE YOU COULD HAVE A CONVERSATION SORT OF A THING LIKE, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE SOMETIMES THAT CAN BE A PROBLEM. UM, SO YEAH, I MEAN I THINK IT WOULD. I MEAN, AND THEN YEAH, THE DRONE SHOW AND THE FIREWORKS WERE JUST REALLY PRETTY AMAZING. SO YEAH, IT WAS, IT WAS A VERY COOL NIGHT AND I THINK, UM, I THINK IT WAS JUST VERY WELL PUT ON AND, AND I WOULD SAY VERY WELL DESIGNED. SO THANK YOU. GREAT JOB GUYS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

MM-HMM. . JUST SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THINGS ON OUR RADAR SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT A DRAINAGE PROJECT TODAY AND WE CAN GO, OH, OKAY. HOW DOES THIS FIT INTO THE BIGGER PICTURE? BECAUSE I THINK WE HAVE LIKE 60 PROJECTS OR SOMETHING IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS OR SOMETHING RIDICULOUS. SURE. AND WHAT WE COULD DO IS JUST PRESENT A SUMMARY OF THE FEEDBACK THAT PUBLIC WORKS GETS WHEN THEY PRESENT THEIR CIP, UM, PRELIMINARY CIP AND THEN SAY, OKAY, ULTIMATELY, UM, THE GENERAL FUND IS FUNDING X, Y, AND Z, WHICH MEANS THESE PROJECTS ARE STILL UNFUNDED. SO IT MIGHT KIND OF GIVE US A PREVIEW OF WHAT THAT ASK WOULD BE FOR NEXT [00:50:01] YEAR, UM, OR WHERE THEIR NEEDS ARE AND WE COULD KIND OF STRATEGIZE WHERE IT FALLS ON OUR PRIORITIES. OKAY.
