IN CASE NO CITIZENS' COMMENTS AND FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS
[BUSINESS - A]
APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FOR THE MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 14TH.DID WE APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM FEBRUARY 14TH, THE SECOND? WAS THAT YOU, SARAH? YES.
CITY COUNCIL LIAISON UPDATE FROM JASON KNAPE.
I DON'T SEE MR. KNAPE PRESENT TODAY.
ON THE, UH, MINUTES, WE DO HAVE ONE CORRECTION ON THE CALL TO ORDER, AND WE WILL STATE THAT YOU CALLED THE ORDER, UH, IN FEBRUARY INSTEAD OF MS. RAMONA.
BUT OTHERWISE Y'ALL CAN STILL, YOU KNOW, MOVE FORWARD WITH THE APPROVAL OF IT.
WE JUST WILL MAKE THAT CORRECTION.
UPDATE REGARDING THE UPCOMING, OH, FIRST THINGS FIRST.
JASON CANOPY IS NOT PRESENT, OBVIOUSLY, SO WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT UPDATE REGARDING
[BUSINESS - C]
THE UPCOMING PARKS BOND.UH, SO AS YOU MAY HAVE SEEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA, UM, AND PER OUR LAST CONVERSATION OR OUR LAST MEETING, UM, THIS BOND HAS BEEN CALLED, SO THE CITY HAS HELD, UM, TWO, IT HAS HELD A TOWN HALL, UM, A WEEK OR SO AGO.
SORRY, THE DATE JUST SLIPPED ME, BUT, UM, I THINK IT WAS LAST WEEK.
UM, AND THEN AT, UH, THE CITY HAD A TABLE AT KEEP SHORE.
BEAUTIFUL, UH, FOR THAT TOWN HALL AS WELL.
I MEAN FOR THE, UH, BOND SHARING THE FACTS AND INFORMATION THAT WE CAN BY LAW.
UM, SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE HERE IS JUST TO, UH, THERE IS ONE THIS COMING SATURDAY AT CITY HALL.
UM, SO WE'VE PROVIDED, UH, THE TABLE OF INFORMATION THAT IS AT THE TOWN HALLS.
UH, YOU CAN TAKE PICTURES OF THOSE ITEMS. UM, IT'S GOT THE, UH, DIFFERENT, UH, ELECTION LOCATIONS, ELECTION DATES AND TIMES, UM, AS WELL AS A PAMPHLET THAT HAS, UM, THE TWO DIFFERENT PROPOSITIONS AND THE, UH, FACTS AND THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
ANYBODY WANNA ADD ANYTHING TO THAT? I WAS GONNA ADD, I JUST THINK IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US TO KNOW WHAT THE FACTS ARE, SO THAT WHEN OUR NEIGHBORS, FRIENDS, WHOMEVER ASK US KIND OF ABOUT THE BOND, WE'RE ABLE TO RECITE THE, THE FACTS CLEARLY.
UM, SO I'M REALLY HAPPY TO SEE THIS POWERPOINT PRESENTATION PUT TOGETHER.
UM, I ATTENDED THE FIRST SESSION THAT THE CITY HELD, AND IT WAS MORE OF KIND OF A COME AND ASK YOUR QUESTIONS AND WE'LL GIVE YOU ANSWERS, WHICH I THINK YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOUR QUESTIONS ARE IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
SO A LOT OF PEOPLE, UH, GREAT GROUP, GREAT EVENT, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO ASK.
SO I THINK BY THE CITY GIVING A PRESENTATION, IT'LL HELP SPARK SOME, UH, THOUGHTS FROM THE CROWD AND THEN THAT YOU CAN ASK BETTER QUESTIONS.
BUT WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO JUST KIND OF GO THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION? I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS YOUR PRESENTATION THAT YOU'VE GIVEN IN THE PAST, BUT JUST IF YOU COULD WALK US THROUGH IT, I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY AWESOME FOR US TO HEAR IT FROM YOUR STANDPOINT SO THAT THEN WE CAN KIND OF, UH, USE THAT TO MAKE OUR OWN KIND OF STATEMENTS.
SO, UM, I'D LIKE TO THANK OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM AND MARIAH, UM, PERFECT TIMING.
SHE, UH, WORKED REALLY HARD TO, UM, FINISH THIS IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
AND, UM, SO WHAT SHE'S DONE HERE IS, AND WE WILL HAVE THIS, LIKE KIMBERLY SAID, AT THE NEXT TOWN HALL, WHICH IS THIS SATURDAY.
IT'LL BE KIND OF JUST ROTATING ON THE SCREENS THAT WAY.
UM, ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO SEE THOSE THINGS, THEY CAN HEAR THE ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT WE'VE KIND OF DONE.
SO, SORRY, THE FIRST SLIDE IS, UM, JUST SOME OF THE PAST BUDGET PRIORITIES AND WHAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT POSITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED THROUGHOUT THE CITY, UM, PRIORITIZING, UM, AND INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY.
[00:05:01]
THE NEXT ONE IS PARTNERING FOR NEEDED PROJECTS.SO YOU'LL SEE THERE THE ALL ABILITIES PARK THAT THE CITY HAS PARTNERED WITH FORT BEND COUNTY ON, UM, EAGLE LANDING PARK THAT WE ALL ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH, THAT WE'VE PARTNERED WITH, UM, TAMRON WEST MUD 2 22, AND THEN SOME, UH, ADDITIONAL WATER LINES THAT WE'VE ALSO PARTNERED WITH.
AND THEN THE NEXT SLIDE HAS THE, UH, DIFFERENT COMPONENTS FOR THE BOND UPCOMING.
YOU SEE THE BOND PROGRAM SCHEDULE, YOU SEE THE CITIZENS, UM, SURVEY FROM THE PARKS AND RECREATION SURVEY THAT WAS RECENTLY DONE, AS WELL AS SOME ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK THERE.
AND THEN THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS YOU THE, UM, TAX IMPACT ON THE, THE ESTIMATED TAX IMPACT IF, UH, THOSE PROPOSITIONS WERE TO PASS.
AND THEN, UM, IT KIND OF GIVES YOU SOME, UM, INFO ON HOW YOU CAN GO IN AND LOOK AT YOUR PROPERTY TAXING JURISDICTION PROPOSITION A GOES INTO THE WORDING OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND, UH, WHAT PROPOSITION A IS, AS WELL AS B.
AND THEN, UH, THERE'S A COOL LITTLE QR CODE THERE SO THAT THAT CAN BE, UH, SOMEONE CAN TAKE A PICTURE OF THAT DURING THE PRESENTATION THAT, UH, FOR SATURDAY AND, UM, SEE ALL THE VOTING INFORMATION THAT'S ON OUR WEBSITE.
SO YOU'LL SEE THAT LINK THERE AS SHORE TEXAS.GOV, UH, SLASH BOND.
AND THAT WEBSITE OF OURS, IT HAS THE, UH, ALL THE DIFFERENT INFORMATION THAT WE'VE BEEN, UH, SHARING FOR THE FACTS NOTE, UM,
I WANTED TO SAY ON THE SLIDES, I REALLY LIKE THIS SLIDE ON, I GUESS IT'S SLIDE NUMBER EIGHT.
I THINK THAT NUMBER RIGHT THERE WILL BE REALLY IMPACTFUL FOR WORDING THE COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY ASKING OF THEM.
AND LIKE, THAT'S, THAT FEELS SO BLACK AND WHITE AND CLEAR, SO THAT'S AMAZING.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S COFFEE.
TIFFANY, WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY IS THE IDEA WAS TO CHANGE THE WORD AMPHITHEATER TO A STAGE BECAUSE WE'VE HAD, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT MAYBE MAKING IT SMALLER AND SAY JUST THE WORD AMPHITHEATER.
YOU'RE VIS ENVISIONING CYNTHIA WOODS MILL, CYNTHIA WOODS MILLER.
AND IF WE SAY A STAGE THAT IF WE MAKE IT SMALLER, IT, I THINK, UH, IN CREATING THE PRESENTATION AND ANY, ANY MATERIALS THAT WE CREATE MOVING FORWARD HAVE TO REFLECT WHAT WAS PRESENTED AS A PART OF THE BOND PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL.
UH, THAT, THAT'S ADVICE FROM OUR BOND COUNCIL BECAUSE WE HAVE TO STAY WITHIN CERTAIN PARAMETERS.
SO IF THE PACT WANTS TO WORTH THAT DIFFERENTLY UPON Y'ALL'S PRESENTATIONS OR THEIR PRESENTATIONS, BY ALL MEANS Y'ALL, YOU KNOW, HAVE THE FREEDOM TO DO SO.
BUT BECAUSE IT WAS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL IN A CERTAIN WAY, WE HAVE TO STAY WITHIN THOSE MM-HMM
SO LIKE EVERYTHING YOU'LL SEE THAT WE DO, WE HAVE TO STAY WITHIN WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL EVEN CHANGING THAT $400,000 NUMBER BECAUSE THAT WAS WHAT WE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL AS LIKE, HEY, THIS IS THE IMPACT FOR A $400,000 HOME.
EVERYTHING HAS TO FOLLOW THAT.
THAT'S WHY WE NOW PROVIDE LIKE, WELL, WE UNDERSTAND, RIGHT? THERE'S DIFFERENT HOUSE PRICES.
YOU CAN FIGURE OUT YOUR IMPACT BY USING THIS KIND OF CALCULATOR.
BUT WE STILL HAVE TO FOLLOW WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL.
THERE WAS ANOTHER GOOD IDEA OF BREAKING IT DOWN BY PUT, YOU KNOW, FOR A $400,000 HOUSE WOULD BE THIS MUCH FOR A $500,000 HOUSE WOULD BE THIS MUCH, $600,000 HOUSE WOULD BE THIS MUCH FOR THOSE UNM MATHEMATICALLY MINDED OF US.
AND WE HAVE THOSE NUMBERS, WE'RE PREPARED TO GIVE THOSE FOR THE 500 AND 750.
UH, AARON DID DO RUN THOSE NUMBERS FOR US FOR THE UPCOMING TOWN HALL, BUT JUST PER WHAT YOU SEE WRITTEN, WE CAN'T HAVE SOMEBODY GO UP THERE AND TAKE A PICTURE OF OUR SLIDE.
AND WE HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE PROVIDED, BUT WE, WE NEVER PROVIDED THAT TO COUNCIL WITH THE BOND PRESENTATION, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
SO WE GET A QUESTION, WE CAN ANSWER IT.
UM, BUT JUST WHAT YOU SEE WRITTEN JUST FOR THE SAKE OF, RIGHT, LIKE ANYONE COULD TAKE A PICTURE OF THAT AND RUN WITH IT.
SO WE HAVE TO KEEP IT, UH, ALIGNED WITH WHAT WAS PRESENTED.
AND I THINK IT'S JUST IMPORTANT TO NOTE TOO, LIKE, SOME OF THE WORDS THAT ARE USED, I MEAN, IN A, IN A BOND ELECTION, YOU CAN NEVER ADD SOMETHING TO IT THAT WASN'T LISTED IN THE ORIGINAL THING THAT WAS CALLED.
BUT WHETHER IT BE A WALKING TRAIL OR A WALKING PATH, OR A EDUCATIONAL GARDEN OR AN EDUCATIONAL SIGN, I MEAN, THERE'S SLIGHT VARIATIONS, BUT I AGREE WITH YOU.
I THINK IT'S SLIGHTLY MISLEADING FOR THE PUBLIC WHEN YOU SAY AMPHITHEATER, 'CAUSE IT COMES LARGER TO MIND.
SO I, I HAVE PERSONALLY BEEN SAYING A STAGE, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, A A A, THE ABILITY TO, UH, HAVE SOME SORT OF, UM, MICROPHONE AND PRESENT TO THE, THE MASS THAT MAY BE THERE.
I DON'T, I MEAN, I GUESS FROM MY STANDPOINT, I, I DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM WITH THE WORD AMPHITHEATER BECAUSE WHEN I SEE $10 MILLION OR $13 MILLION, I'M LIKE ALL THAT FOR ESTATE AND A FEW THINGS.
SO I'M THINKING LIKE AMPHITHEATER, LIKE, OKAY, THAT'S WHY IT'S 13 MILLION.
[00:10:01]
IT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING OF SUBSTANCE.SO I SEE IT FROM A DIFFERENT STANDPOINT, BUT, BUT I GUESS WE CAN, I THINK THIS IS GREAT THOUGH, WHERE WE MADE THIS.
WHAT TIME IS THE EVENT ON SATURDAY? 10 30.
UM, OR MAYBE THAT'S THE TIME I'LL BE HERE.
I HAD 10 30 ON MY CALENDARS AT OKAY.
I KNOW A FEW OF US HAVE CONFLICTS BECAUSE OF BASEBALL AND OTHER THINGS.
WORK, UM, WORK, BASEBALL, ALL THE ABOVE.
ARE ANY OF US ABLE TO ATTEND THAT? ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TOMORROW? YEAH.
I THINK I'M GONNA BE, YOU ARE? I THINK I CAN MAKE IT.
IF LIKE ONE WEEK I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.
WELL THAT'S GOOD, DAX, THAT YOU CAN BE THERE.
UM, I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO, YOU KNOW, SEE THIS PRESENTATION IN ITS, UM, ENTIRETY AND JUST BE THERE AS A RESOURCE IN CASE PEOPLE HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, THINGS OF THAT SORT.
AND ANOTHER NOTE, UH, IT'LL BE HERE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS, SO IT WILL BE STREAMED LIVE.
UH, AND THEN IT'LL LIVE ON OUR WEBSITE.
SO WE'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT RIGHT HERE.
SO WE HAVE SWAG IT IN THIS ROOM THAT RECORDS OUR VIDEOS, OBVIOUSLY.
SO THEY'LL BE RECORDING TOMORROW.
SO FOR ANYONE WHO CAN'T MAKE IT, YOU CAN STREAM.
SO WE'LL BE PUSHING THAT MESSAGE ALSO.
WHAT TIME? 10 30 FOR DONUTS AND COFFEE? NO.
SO BEFORE WE DO MOVE ON THOUGH, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS JUST ABOUT IF SOMEBODY WOULD COME UP TO YOU AND SAY, SO TELL ME ABOUT THIS, THIS BOND.
ARE THERE ANY THINGS THAT INFORMATION YOU GUYS OR MYSELF INCLUDED AREN'T CLEAR ON? 'CAUSE I JUST THINK IT'S GONNA BE SUPER IMPORTANT IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS, UM, AS PARKS AND REC COMMISSIONERS THAT, YOU KNOW, FOLKS ARE GONNA COME TO US AND ASK QUESTIONS.
SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S NOT CLEAR NOW, PLEASE ASK SO THAT WE CAN GET THAT.
I THINK WE'LL PROBABLY GET QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LAND BECAUSE IT'S, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
AND SO THAT'S THE ANSWER, RIGHT? LIKE WE JUST, OR IS THERE A POTENTIAL LAND THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT OR, YOU KNOW, THAT SIDE OF SORT OF THING.
A LOT OF LAND THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, BUT NONE OF IT'S CERTAIN, BUT FOR OUR MESSAGES, LIKE YOU'RE SAYING, THE CITY, SO THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE SPECIFIC YEAH.
UM, SHOULD THE BOND PASS, THEN THAT ALLOWS THE CITY THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE LAND OPPORTUNITIES, UH, FOR ADDITIONAL PARKS AND FACILITIES.
AND I THINK ALONG THOSE LINES TO A QUESTION I GOT ASKED THE OTHER DAY WAS, YOU KNOW, WHY THE PARKS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, WHY IS IT NEEDED TO HAVE A PARTNER ON THOSE PROJECTS? WHY CAN'T THE CITY OF RE JUST DO IT ON ITS OWN? RIGHT? AND THE BIG THING THERE TO NOTE IS IT TAKES DOLLARS, IT TAKES MONEY THAT THERE DOESN'T EXIST RIGHT NOW.
SO, YOU KNOW, THESE PARTNER PROJECTS I THINK IS GREAT ON THIS SLIDE ABOUT LEVERAGING RESOURCES BECAUSE WITHOUT THE PARTNERSHIP OF THOSE, THOSE WOULD'VE HAD TO HAVE FALLEN INTO A BOND SITUATION THAT WE WOULD'VE HAD TO ASK FOR DOLLARS FOR, UM, IN ORDER TO GET THOSE DONE.
SO, YOU KNOW, IT GOES BACK TO THE REASON WHY THE BOND WAS ORIGINALLY CALLED IS TO SECURE THOSE DOLLARS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME OF THESE PROJECTS.
[BUSINESS - D]
OF A ED AT EAGLE LANDING PARK AT AN A ED AT EAGLE LANDING PARK.SO, UM, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO, UM, WE JUST TALKED ABOUT PARTNERING ON THINGS AND, UH, OUR NEW FIRE CHIEF FOR SHORE SIMONTON AREA.
UM, AND I HAVE BEEN COLLABORATING FOR A WHILE ON AEDS IN OUR PARKS.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, AS WE ALL KNOW, AEDS ARE IMPORTANT.
AND I THINK, LIKE WHEN I WAS A CHILD AND WHEN I PLAYED SPORTS, IT WAS SOMETHING I OBVIOUSLY NEVER THOUGHT OF.
AND I COULD NOT TELL YOU IF THERE WAS EVER ONE IN A PARK, UM, THAT I PLAYED IN.
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE, WE AS A CITY PRIORITIZED PUTTING THEM IN OUR FACILITIES SO THAT IF THERE WAS EVER A NEED, THEY'RE IDENTIFIED AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE ON OUR EVACUATION ROUTE SO THAT YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE AND YOU KNOW WHERE YOU CAN FIND THEM.
BUT WHEN YOU'RE IN A PARK, THE CHIEF POINTED OUT TO ME THAT THEY'RE OFTENTIMES IN A CONCESSION STAND.
WELL, IF THE CONCESSION STAND'S NOT OPEN AND THERE'S AN EMERGENCY, THEN WHAT? RIGHT? AND OUR MOST VALUABLE, UH, LOVED ONES ARE THERE, RIGHT? OUR FAMILY, OUR CHILDREN, OUR FRIENDS.
SO, UM, WE HAVE BEEN IN DISCUSSIONS ABOUT A A ED THAT IS A, UH, LARGE CENTRALIZED, UM, A ED THAT'S, THAT WOULD BE BUILT IN THE MIDDLE, RIGHT? IN GENERAL PERSPECTIVES OF THE PARK.
SO, UH, CHIEF IS HERE TODAY TO PRESENT 'CAUSE HE WILL BE MUCH BETTER AT SHARING THE LIFESAVING BENEFITS AND THE, UH, BENEFITS TO OUR COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE VERSUS MYSELF.
SO I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR HIM TO BE HERE AND SHARE AS WELL AS WHAT HE IS DOING TO, UH, SEE HOW WE CAN PARTNER BETWEEN THE ESD AND THE CITY.
BEFORE YOU START, JUST FOR OUR BENEFIT, I KNOW WHAT AN A ED IS, BUT CAN YOU TELL US WHAT AN A ED IS? 'CAUSE WE KEEP REFERRING TO IT AND IT'S, UH, AN AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC DEFIBRILLATOR.
[00:15:01]
IS THAT WHAT EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR.AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR.
AND THERE'S CERTAIN, THERE'S DIFFERENT KINDS AND THE TECHNOLOGY IS, IS RAPIDLY GROWING NOW THEY'RE BIPHASIC.
SO THAT, THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR LAY PEOPLE TO USE.
IT USED TO BE THEY WERE, UH, MONOPHASIC WHERE YOU HAD TO GET THE PADS ON JUST RIGHT AND THEY HAD TO BE IN RIGHT, THE RIGHT SPOT.
UM, NOW THEY KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND THEY MAKE IT WORK.
UM, THROUGH, MAYBE THERE'S AI IN THERE, WHO KNOWS, BUT
I'M THE NEW FIRE CHIEF FOR FULL ASSIGNMENT IN ESD FOUR.
AND, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS I'M MOST INTERESTED IN IS, IS FINDING PARTNERSHIPS ACROSS OUR TERRITORY.
WE COVER 105 SQUARE MILES, INCLUDING ALL THREE CITIES, UH, YOU KNOW, WESTERN LAKES, UH, SIMONTON AND FOLGER.
AND, AND SO AS WE BUILD A ROBUST RESPONSE FORCE, UH, WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO MAKE SURE WE DO IS HAVE A VIABLE PATIENT WHEN WE GET THERE.
AND SO STUDIES HAVE SHOWN FOR A LONG TIME THAT, UH, BYSTANDER, CPR, EARLY CPR, THAT, THAT, THAT KEEPS THE BLOOD FLOWING.
UM, BUT THE NUMBER ONE DEFINITIVE CARE FOR SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH IS, UH, AN A ED AND APPLICATION AND USE OF AN A D.
AND, AND SO AS TIFFANY SAID, THAT THERE'S, THERE'S PUBLIC ACCESS A D PROGRAMS ALL AROUND US AND, AND IN THIS CITY THERE'S PROBABLY, UH, 40 OR 50 OF THEM THAT ARE, ARE IN, IN THIS GENERAL AREA, THERE'RE 40 OR 50.
UM, BUT I KNOW THAT THE TWO CHURCHES THAT I ATTEND, I DON'T KNOW WHERE EITHER OF THOSE A, A DS ARE.
AND, AND SO LIKE WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS CALL 9 1 1, NOBODY KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE TO GO.
AND SO THAT'S THE PREMISE HERE.
WHAT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS A PRODUCT CALLED ZAP STAND, AND IT'S A FOR-PROFIT COMPANY.
IT'S ORIGINATING OUTTA FRISCO.
UM, FRISCO WAS THE FIRST CITY TO DO IT.
UM, AND SO THESE ARE SLIGHTLY LARGE AND OBNOXIOUS STANDS.
AND SO IT KIND OF GOES AGAINST FROM CENTRAL, THE CENTRAL PLANNING CONCEPT IS WE WANT EVERYTHING TO LOOK KIND OF NICE AND, AND FIT IN.
ZAP STANDS ARE ACTUALLY DESIGNED TO STAND OUT.
THEY MONETIZE IT BY SELLING ADVERTISING BECAUSE THEY WANT PEOPLE LOOKING AT THIS, AT THIS STAND.
AND THAT MAKES, UH, PEOPLE REALIZE AND YOU PUT IT IN A CORRIDOR WHERE THEY'RE WALKING INTO OR OUT OF FROM THE SPORTS FACILITIES, YOU DON'T TUCK IT AWAY IN A CORNER SOMEPLACE.
THAT WAY WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS, CALL 9 1 1, SOMEBODY KNOWS WHERE TO GO TO THAT ZAP STAND.
AND SO THEY PUSH A BUTTON AND THAT ACTIVATES A 9 1 1 THAT RELEASES A DOOR THAT RELEASES THE A ED.
SO SOMEONE CAN STAY THERE AND TALK TO NINE ONE ONE THROUGH THE, UH, AUTOMATED PHONE SYSTEM.
AND THEN THE OTHER, SOMEBODY ELSE TAKES THE WOW, THAT'S RIGHT IN MY WAY.
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS, I'VE BEEN IN THE FIRE SERVICE FOR 35 PLUS YEARS.
WHEN WE GO TO A SPORTS FIELD, EVERYBODY'S WAVING BECAUSE, HEY, THE FIRETRUCKS HERE, WE'VE TRAINED THEM TO KNOW THAT WE'RE BETTER THAN THE COPS, THAT WE'RE FRIENDLY PEOPLE AND THEY LIKE TO WAVE AT US.
THAT MAKES IT VERY PROBLEMATIC TO FIND WHERE THE MEDICAL EMERGENCY IS.
THE ZAP STAND THAT A ED WILL HAVE A GPS TRACKER IN IT.
AND SO IN OUR MDTS ON THE TRUCKS, WE'LL BE ABLE TO TRACK THROUGH THAT APP, WE'LL TRACK WHERE THAT A ED IS GOING ON THE PROPERTY SO THAT WE CAN PICK THE APPROPRIATE PARKING SPACE OR PARK PARKING LOT AND WE CAN DEPLOY OUR RESOURCES IN, IN THE RIGHT AREA.
IT'S GOING TO NOT ONLY WILL IT GET A AN A ED TO THE PATIENT FASTER, IT WILL GET 9 1 1 TO THE PATIENT FASTER.
NOW, NEXT TUESDAY, I KIND OF HAVE MY CARTS IN FRONT OF THE HORSE.
I'M PROPOSING TO MY BOARD THAT WE PAY FOR THIS, THAT THIS IS GOOD FOR THE EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT.
IF WE, IF WE PUT OUR MONEY WHERE OUR MOUTH IS AND WE, WE WANT TO SERVE THE PUBLIC, THIS IS A GOOD, A GOOD THING TO INVEST IN.
AND THEY, THEY KIND OF KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT I HAVEN'T PUSHED IT TO A VOTE BECAUSE OUR LAWYER'S STILL WORKING WITH THE, UH, TERMS AND CONDITIONS ON THE CONTRACT.
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU GUYS IS A PLACE TO PUT IT, AND I'M LEANING ON TIFFANY TO PUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN.
SO YOU WOULD, WHAT WHAT OLSTER WOULD BRING TO THE TABLE IS THE CONCRETE AND THE ELECTRIC TO, UM, TO SUPPLY THE UNIT.
WHAT WE WOULD BRING TO THE TABLE IS THE UPFRONT COST TO PAY FOR IT.
AND WE WOULD COMMIT TO THE 25 YEAR LEASE THAT AMATEURIZE OUT TO ABOUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS COMMITMENT PER UNIT ON OUR PART OVER THE 25 YEARS.
UM, AND, AND SO THEN KIND OF WHAT WE GET OUT OF IT, ON TOP OF THE, UH, INCREASED CARDIAC CARE THAT, THAT WE WOULD PROVIDE TO OUR PUBLIC IS, UM, A COUPLE OF, OF, OF THOSE, AS THEY MONETIZE THEIR PRODUCT THROUGH MARKETING, WE WOULD GET A COUPLE OF THOSE SPOTS TO PUT IN THERE WHERE WE COULD ADVERTISE PARKS, EVENTS OR FIRE DEPARTMENT EVENTS.
AND SO THAT'S THE, THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF THE, THE PROGRAM.
WE WOULD, IF WE ACT TO NOW, WE WILL BE THE FIRST IN THE AREA.
[00:20:01]
THIS IN PLACE WITH MY PREVIOUS EMPLOYER, UH, RIGHT BEFORE I RETIRED, UH, FROM THERE.AND SO I KNOW THAT THEY'RE IN THE WORKS.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE FIRST TO MARKET ON THIS
I JUST WENT TO THE, UH, TEXAS PARKS, UH, ANNUAL CONFERENCE, HAD THE PLEASURE OF TALKING TO THEM, AND THEY SHOWED ME HOW IT WORKS.
I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING FANTASTIC FOR US TO HAVE HERE AND ACTUALLY BROUGHT BACK ALL THE INFORMATION TO GIVE TO TIFFANY
SO IT'S A 25 YEAR LEASE OR A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
YEAH, SO IT'S A, SO WE'VE NEGOTIATED THEY, THEIR, THEIR ONE TIME PRICING WAS 17,000 AND I'VE NEGOTIATED THAT DOWN TO 10,001 TIME.
AND THEN IT'S 2,500 AT A 3% ESCALATION, UH, WITH A 25 YEAR LEASE.
AND THAT'S HOW THEY, 'CAUSE THAT IS AN AIR CONDITIONED STAND.
SO IT'S NOT JUST THEY'RE PUTTING A BOX OUT HERE, IT'S MAINTAINED.
THEY'RE GONNA COME AND DO MAINTENANCE ON THIS AIR CONDITION THAT KEEPS THE AD AT, UH, A CLIMATE CONTROLLED BECAUSE IT JUST WOULDN'T DO WELL IN 120 DEGREE BOX.
SO THERE, THERE IS SOME INFRASTRUCTURE TO IT.
SO WE WOULD PAY THOSE FEES IS WHAT I'M PROPOSING.
YOU GUYS WOULD ABSORB THE ELECTRIC COST.
DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE ELECTRIC COST WOULD BE? I'M, I, I REALLY DON'T KNOW.
JUST TO RUN ADVERTISING, IF ANYTHING, THAT'S WHERE THE COST IS GONNA BE.
I MEAN, I ALMOST FEEL LIKE THIS TO BE LIKE HALF THE SIZE.
YOU TALKING ABOUT THE LITTLE DEFIBRILLATOR? I'M SORRY.
IT'S GOTTA BE AIR CONDITIONED.
IT HAS TO BE CONDITIONED MINIMAL, I WOULD THINK.
SO I THINK IT'S VERY AMENABLE.
IT'S PUTTING THE ELECTRICAL OUT THERE.
IT'S SMALLER THAN AN RV AIR CONDITIONER.
IT'S SMALLER THAN AN RV AIR CONDITIONER.
IF, IF WE LET THE PADS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER, THE, THE PADS ARE ADHESIVE PADS AND IT'S REALLY STICKY, UM, AND THEY, THEY'RE HELD ONTO WITH A KIND OF A WAX BACKING.
AND IF, IF THOSE ARE, WE EVEN NOTICE THAT WHEN WE DON'T ROTATE 'EM IN OUR COMMAND VEHICLES, AMBULANCES TEND TO BE AIR CONDITIONED.
THEY DETERIORATE COMMAND CARS.
IT IS HARD TO GET THAT BACKING OFF.
I THINK THE 10 GRAND IS NO PROBLEM AT ALL.
I THINK IT'S JUST THE, THE, THE 25 YEAR LEASE THAT'S A LONG LEASE.
THEY HAVE SHORTER TERMS. THEY DO NOT.
THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT SCARES ME.
BUT THAT'S WHERE YOU WERE SAYING THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS LOOKING TO PAY FOR THAT LEASE ANYWAYS.
AT THE END OF 25 YEARS, UM, THEY, THEY'LL COME AND TAKE IT AND THEN WE, WE WILL HAVE A CONCRETE PAD WE NEED TO TEAR DOWN.
OR WE CAN RENEW ANYTHING THIS BIG THAT SAVES LIVES.
I DON'T THINK IT'LL TURN, I THINK TECHNOLOGY WILL, WILL ADVANCE AND THEY'LL WANT US TO MOVE TO ANOTHER PRODUCT.
AND SO WE'LL PROBABLY RENEW THE CONTRACT BEFORE WE TERM.
THAT WAS MY, THAT WAS MY THOUGHTS TOO.
LIKE IN THREE OR THREE TO FIVE YEARS, IT COULD BE LIKE, DO THEY, DO THEY UPDATE 'EM CONSTANTLY? YES.
IT'S NOT THE 25-YEAR-OLD MACHINE IN THERE.
THEY, THEY'LL REPLACE THE A ED AS NEWER MODELS COME OUT.
THEY, THAT'S PROBABLY WHERE THE COST, I'M A HAND TALKER BY THE WAY.
THAT'S, THAT'S WHY THE COST IS CORRECT.
AND I ASKED THEM ABOUT VANDALISM AND THEY SAID THEY REPAIR, THEY MAKE ALL REPAIRS.
IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO IT, THEY FIX IT FOR FREE.
THEY'RE, YOU MENTIONED IT, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO UPKEEP ANYTHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO BREAK, IF THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH IT, THEY'RE GONNA COME OUT AND MAINTAIN IT'S NOT GONNA BE ON THE CITY OF FULL SHIRT.
BECAUSE THE, THE CHIEF ALLUDED TO IT, THE, SO THE, JUST LIKE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE AEDS IN HIS VEHICLE.
SO THE AEDS HAVE TO BE MAINTAINED.
THE, THERE'S THE BATTERIES HAVE TO BE REPLACED.
SO THAT'S PART OF THEIR MAINTENANCE AS WELL.
BATTERIES GO AND THOSE ARE REALLY, REALLY EXPENSIVE BATTERIES.
UM, AND SO THEY'LL REPLACE THE BATTERIES, THEY'LL REPLACE THE PADS, THEY'LL DO THE ELECTRONIC UPDATES.
IT'S JUST LIKE YOUR IPHONE HAS TO UPDATE AT NIGHT.
THEY'LL CONNECT THEM TO THE SYSTEM.
IT SLIGHTLY PAYS FOR ITSELF BECAUSE, UM, WITH MY FIRST AID TRAINING, YOU KNOW, I STARTED TO BECOME AWARE OF AEDS AND THEY'RE ALWAYS HIDDEN
AND SO IT'S, I LIKE THE CONCEPT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO GUESS WHERE IT IS.
UM, AND THERE IS THE MAINTENANCE OF KEEPING UP WITH THE AEDS THAT IS GONNA COST YOU REGARDLESS IF THEY'RE TAKING CARE OF THAT.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE WOULD BE PAYING ANYWAYS.
AND SOMEBODY TALKS YOU THROUGH IT, YOU'RE SPEAKING TO SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
WHEN YOU, ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE ACTUAL, LIKE, PHYSICALITY OF IT.
WOULD THE INTENT BE THAT SOMEONE'S ONLY USING THIS EMERGENCY STATION IF THEY'RE IN NEED OF THE A ED? OR WOULD THIS ALSO BE IF SOMEBODY HAS AN EMERGENCY AND THEY BROKE THEIR ARM, THEY'RE USING THIS A ED.
SO THERE'S A CELLULAR LINK TO FROM THAT BOX TO THE PSAP.
SO IT WOULD ROUTE AND, AND IF IT'S A CITY PARK, BECAUSE
[00:25:01]
THE, UH, RE IS DISPATCHED THROUGH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, IT WOULD GO STRAIGHT TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.SO THE THE NINE ONE ONE CALL WOULD BE RE REGARDLESS, UM, AS, AS TO WHAT KIND OF CALL.
AND, AND TO HER, TO, UM, MS. RIDGE'S POINT, THE A ED WILL TALK THEM THROUGH IT, THAT WHEN YOU OPEN THE COVER, IT'S GONNA TELL YOU, YOU KNOW, ASSESS, YOU KNOW, APPLY PATIENT, APPLY PADS, DO NOT TOUCH ASSESSING, YOU KNOW, IT, IT, OH, IT'LL TELL YOU ALL THAT.
I MEAN, TO HAVE IT LIKE IN A SPORTS PARK, I THINK IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT AT A PLACE LIKE THAT.
LIKE, I MEAN, LITERALLY YOU GOTTA HAVE PROTECT THE KIDS.
I MEAN, THAT'S NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.
IF YOU BREAK IT DOWN, IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, 340 BUCKS A MONTH, THAT'S A SMALL PRICE TO PAY THAT SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE.
WE'RE SPENDING, SPENDING 18, $18 MILLION A YEAR TO GET A FIRE TRUCK AND AN AMBULANCE THERE IN EIGHT AND A HALF MINUTES.
FOR $300 A MONTH WE CAN GET AN A ED THERE.
BEFORE THE CALL HAPPENS, THEY GET SOME GOOD INVESTMENT.
IT'S GOTTA BREAK IT DOWN LIKE THAT.
AND LIKE YOU SAID, THE SERVICING AND THE UPDATING AND ALL THAT STUFF, THAT'S WHAT THAT COST.
WE CAN PUT FLOWERS ON IT WHERE IT IS.
WE'LL PAINT IT AND GET SOME ARTSY FIRST.
PAINT IT, BUT IT'S GOTTA BE PAINTED BRIGHT COLORS.
WE GOT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I DID FIND ONE OTHER COMMUNITY THAT THEY, THEY ASKED FOR GREEN, UH, THEY HAVE GREEN BOXES.
THE, UM, GREEN, THE CONCEPT WITH IT IS, AND, AND I'M KIND OF SOLD OFF ON THIS, IS, IS YOU DON'T WANT IT TO FIT IN.
YOU WANT IT TO BE OBNOXIOUS A LITTLE BIT.
WHEN YOU RUN, YOU'RE LIKE, YOU.
BECAUSE THE CROSS BRANDING FOR THAT IS THAT EVERY TIME SOME WE, WE HOPE NOBODY EVER USES IT, BUT EVERY TIME A FAMILY BRINGS THEIR CHILD TO COME PLAY SOCCER OR COME PLAY BASEBALL, UM, THEY SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT THE CITY AND, AND THE ESD IS, IS READY JUST IN CASE.
AND SO LIKE, YOU'RE GETTING CREDIT FOR BEING READY, WHETHER THEY USE IT OR NOT.
UH, RIGHT NOW WE SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO BE READY AND THEY DON'T KNOW IT.
'CAUSE WE HIDE IT IN FIRE STATIONS.
DO WE HAVE, UH, THE BUDGET FOR EAGLE LANDING PARK TO PUT IN THE ELECTRICITY AND THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER? OR WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? I KNOW THIS WASN'T PLANNED FOR IN THE DESIGN CLEARLY, BUT CAN WE USE EXTRA FUNDS OR RESOURCES TO PAY THAT COST THAT I DON'T THINK IS BUDGETED FOR, FOR EAGLE LANDING? YES.
WE ARE LOOKING INTO WHAT THAT COST WOULD BE.
UM, SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO RECEIVE SOME, UM, SHEETS, PLAN SHEETS OF WHAT IT, WHAT THE ZAP STAND WOULD NEED, UH, FOR THE FOUNDATION AND EVERYTHING.
SO, UH, CLIFF IS REVIEWING THAT AND UH, JUST ENSURING THAT HE DOESN'T SEE ANY ISSUES WITH IT.
AND THEN, UH, WE WOULD LOOK TO GET SOME PROPOSALS TO SEE WHAT THAT WOULD COST AND SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN AFFORD OPERATIONALLY.
'CAUSE I JUST THINK THIS IS LIKE, IN MY OPINION, ONE OF THESE THINGS THAT IF WE NEEDED TO USE SOME OF THE PARKS FUND TO GET THIS, I THINK IT'S JUST A GREAT INITIATIVE TO START THIS PRESIDENTS IN OUR PARKS THAT WE HAVE THOSE MM-HMM
I LIKE THE IDEA OF BEING FIRST TO MARKET.
UM, SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON IN A FUTURE MEETING, I THINK WE'D BE TALKING ABOUT LIKE A BUY ONE GET ONE FREE KIND OF DEAL.
NO, IT'S JUST WHAT I'M THINKING IS RIGHT NOW THE, THE PARK IS ALREADY LIKE, BUDGETED, RIGHT? YEAH.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE, WE'RE ALREADY IN, WE'RE GOING OUT FOR A BOND TO BUILD PARKS.
'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE DOLLARS AT THE CITY OF SHORE.
SO I'M LIKE, WHERE ARE THEY MAGICALLY GONNA PULL THESE DOLLARS FROM? SO IF THEY MAGICALLY CAN'T PRODUCE THESE DOLLARS OR THERE'S NOT A COST SAVINGS SOMEWHERE THAT THEY CAN PRODUCE.
WHAT I'M ALLUDING TO IS PERHAPS PARKS PUTS UP, WE'VE GOT A COUPLE LOOK AT THE, YOU KNOW, BUDGET SHEET.
WE'VE GOT A COUPLE THOUSAND THAT PERHAPS WE COULD HELP DONATE ON THIS FIRST ONE SO THAT IN THE FUTURE WE'RE PUTTING THIS IN THE DESIGN AND IT'S PART OF THE COST, BUT FOR THIS ONE, IT WASN'T THERE.
SO I'M JUST SUGGESTING THAT IF WE NEED THE DOLLARS, PERHAPS THAT'S SOMETHING NEXT MEETING WE COULD TAKE ACTION ON AND FIT IT IN SOMEWHERE INTO PRIMROSE WHILE WE'RE STILL IN THE DESIGN.
WE, SO WE, WHEN, WHEN WE FIRST, UH, TALKED, IT WAS AT A COUNCIL MEETING ONE NIGHT AND, AND HE KNEW PRIMROSE WAS IN THE WORKS.
UM, AND SO WE ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT PRIMROSE FIRST, BUT UM, I SHARED THAT EAGLE LANDING WAS IN A MUCH GREATER PROGRESSION.
AND, UH, SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE LANDED ON EAGLE LANDING FIRST.
AND THEN, UH, IF WE WERE SUCCESSFUL BOTH PARTIES IN MAKING THIS HAPPEN, THEN I THINK WE WOULD LOOK AT CONTINUING THAT THROUGH THE PARKS.
AND I DID WANT TO SAY, AND CHIEF MAY BE ABLE TO SHARE BETTER DETAILS THAN MYSELF, BUT, UM, AT ONE OF OUR COUNCIL MEETINGS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, THE, UM, CITY AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, UM, ISSUED A LIFESAVING AWARD.
UM, AND THE STORY WAS ABOUT, UM, A COMMUNITY MEMBER, I BELIEVE PLAYING PICKLEBALL.
AND, UM, SOMETHING HAPPENED, HAPPENED, I'M ASSUMING CARDIAC WISE.
AND, UM, I BELIEVE THAT HE WAS, UM, IT WAS ON, UM, I THINK IT WAS IN CROSS OR NO, RAY WESTON, I'M NOT, I DON'T REMEMBER WAS LAKES.
NO, IT WAS WITHIN THE CITY, UM, TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
BUT, UM, HE, HE WAS ABLE, I BELIEVE SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO PERFORM LIFESAVING, UM, EFFORTS AND HE
[00:30:01]
SURVIVED.UM, AND I THINK IN MANY CASES IT WAS THOUGHT THAT LIKE IF, IF THE DEVICES AND OR LIFESAVING EFFORTS, CPR, ALL THE THINGS WERE NOT AVAILABLE, UM, AND OR FAST ENOUGH THAT, UH, HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT AND, AND STILL BE HERE TODAY.
SO, UM, I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES AT LEAST, LIKE RIGHT WHEN YOU'RE A KID GROWING UP, YOU MIGHT, YOU, YOU OFTEN DON'T THINK LIKE THESE THINGS CAN HAPPEN TO KIDS.
IT'S ALL JUST ADULTS OR, YOU KNOW, BUT WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING SPORTS, WE SEE IT ON THE NEWS.
WE SEE THESE DIFFERENT THINGS WHERE, UH, YOUNGER AND YOUNGER THERE'S CARDIAC ISSUES WITHIN KIDS.
SO, UM, YEAH, I'M, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH, WITH THE, THE INSTANCE THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS, HEART ATTACKS ON AVERAGE ARE DOWN, ACROSS, ACROSS AS, AS AN AVERAGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
UM, IF YOU'RE LESS THAN 40, THE TREND IS HEART ATTACKS ARE UP, UM, THAT THEY'VE SHIFTED TO YOUNGER PEOPLE.
AND SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH IN YOUTH IS AT RATES THAT I WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH IN THE EARLY PARTS OF MY CAREER.
AND SO THIS IS A WIN-WIN THAT WE KNOW THAT THE HIGHEST CARDIAC, UM, HEART ATTACK RATES ARE AT LESS THAN 40.
AND IT'S GENERALLY, UH, WHEN YOU ARE OUT OF BALLFIELD, IT'S THE FAMILIES WHO HAVE KIDS.
AND SO WE'RE KIND OF BUYING THE KIDS AND GETTING THE DADS FOR FREE, AT LEAST AT THESE GAMES.
THE DADS BECOME PRETTY EXCITABLE, UH, ON THE SIDELINES.
I, I FOUND, UH, SOME OF MY WORST CHARACTERISTICS THAT MY KIDS USE SPORTS EVENTS AND, AND SO THAT YOUR BLOOD BLOOD PRESSURE GOES UP.
AND SO THIS IS A, A REALLY GOOD FIT FOR, UH, CARDIAC AWARENESS PROJECTS.
NOW, WE'LL ALSO PARTNER THIS, UM, I'VE, I'VE ONLY BEEN IN POSITION FIVE MONTHS, BUT WITH THIS WE WILL BE INCREASING OUR HANDS-ON CPR TRAINING ACROSS OUR DISTRICT, AND WE'LL BE PARTNERING WITH THE CODY STEVENS FOUNDATION, THIS, AS I'VE DONE IN THE PAST.
AND WE'LL DO YOUTH HEART SCREENINGS.
WHAT WE FIND IN, IN, IN MAINLY MEN IS THEY HAVE AN ST PROBLEM THAT'S THE, THE LU DUB OF YOUR HEART.
AND SO THOSE ARE CALLED STEMIS.
BUT IN THE, IN THE YOUTH, WE SEE IT'S THE QT COMPLEX THAT IT, AND IT, AND SO IF YOU JUST DO AN EKG, UH, EVEN AT REST, YOU'LL START TO SEE THESE ANOMALIES FROM THE Q TO THE T.
AND UH, YOU CAN REFER THEM TO CARDIOLOGISTS AND, AND, UH, AND THEY'LL AT LEAST KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND THEY CAN, UH, GET THE CARE FOR IT.
SO WE WILL, WE WON'T JUST WAIT FOR THE HEART ATTACK.
WE'LL BE TRYING TO PREVENT, UH, THE, AT LEAST ON THE, ON THE YOUTH SIDE, THE SUDDEN CARDIAC ISSUES, UH, BY IDENTIFICATION.
WHEN YOU HIT THE BUTTON AND THIS DOOR POPS UP, DO YOU TAKE THE THING AND DO YOU RUN IT TO WHERE THE KID'S AT AND DO IT? OR DO YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE KID OVER TO WHERE IT'S AT? NO, THE A D WILL COME OUT OF THE LOCKBOX AND GO TO THE KID.
AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO TRACK THAT BY GPS.
I THINK IT'S, I MEAN, IT'S LIKE A NO BRAINER.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE, YOU NEED THAT FOR KIDS.
AND LIKE YOU SAID, I WAS GONNA SAY SOMETHING EARLIER, I WAS LIKE, I'LL LET IT GO.
BUT IT'S ALWAYS, IT'S LIKE A LOT OF THE PARENTS, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE THEY, OH, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SCREAMING, GETTING WORKED OUT FACES GETTING RED, YOU KNOW.
I, I MEAN, I THINK IN THESE SITUATIONS, NO ONE EVER KNOWS IT'S GONNA HAPPEN OR THINKS IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
AND IT'S, IT'S A SHAME THAT WHEN YOU GO TO LOOK FOR THESE AEDS, TYPICALLY THEY'RE HIDDEN.
AND I, FROM ALL OF OUR HEAD NODS, I THINK IT'S A NO-BRAINER.
UM, I'M JUST MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW TO IMPLEMENT IT, YOU KNOW, FINANCIALLY, UM, TO MAKE SURE WE CAN DO IT.
'CAUSE IN THE FUTURE IT'D BE GREAT TO HAVE LIKE FIRST AID CLASSES IN THE PARK OR EVEN, YOU KNOW, YOU SAID HANDS-ONLY, CPR, UH, THAT WOULD BE A GREAT, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING TO OFFER THE COMMUNITY AROUND THESE STATIONS JUST FOR AWARENESS.
WOULD IT PROBABLY BE A SHARED COST FOR ANYBODY THAT WOULD BE UTILIZING IN THOSE FIELDS AS WELL? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO LIKE FOR PRIMROSES AND FOR EAGLE LANDING, THOSE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE ARE ENGAGING WITH, THAT SHOULD BE PROBABLY A SHARED COST BECAUSE IT'S PROTECTING THEIR PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE AS WELL.
YEAH, THEY'LL FRONT THAT THREE 40 A MONTH.
Y YEAH, I THINK, YOU KNOW, SO I'VE, I'VE, I'VE COME TO Y'ALL, UH, THE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS FALL ON THE SAME NIGHT ASSIGNMENT.
AND, AND SO I GO EITHER, EITHER OR EACH MONTH.
AND SO I'VE SAT THROUGH SOME OF THE COUNCIL MEETINGS THAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT FEE ORDINANCES AND AND WHATNOT.
AND, AND SO I KNOW THAT COST RECOVERY IS HUGE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT RIGHT NOW.
UH, I THINK ON THIS FIRST ONE, LIKE MY OBJECTIVE IS TO PAY FOR IT.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT, LIKE MAYBE IN, IN, IN THE FUTURE.
BUT AS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR, YOUR BONDS, I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH BOND COUNCILS AND BOND VERBIAGE AND, AND SO LIKE GETTING THOSE VER GETTING THE WORDING RIGHT SO THAT THEN, UM, YOU, YOU'VE COVERED YOURSELF.
BUT IT MIGHT BE THAT IN THE FUTURE WE WOULD LOOK TO, UH, SHIFT MORE OF THE COST TO THE CAPITAL SIDE UPFRONT TO REDUCE THE ONGOING SIDE.
'CAUSE YOU CAN'T PAY O AND M THROUGH THESE BONDS, BUT YOU CAN, IF, IF WE FRONT LOAD THE, THE ZAP STANDS INTO THE BOND PROGRAM AND THEN NEGOTIATE THE O AND M SIDE, UM, PROBABLY
[00:35:01]
ANY VENDOR WOULD BE STUPID TO NOT TAKE THAT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, BURDEN THE HAND TO IN THE BUSH.SO, UM, BUT WE CAN LOOK AT, AND THEN YOU CAN PROBABLY LOOK AT COST SHARING WITH THE, THE LEAGUES THAT ARE RENTING THESE FIELDS.
WELL, THANK YOU FOR DOING ALL THE FRONT END WORK.
I MEAN, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THIS JUST KIND OF PLOP IN FRONT OF US.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO PARTNERING WITH YOU HERE.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN CONNECT ALL THE DOTS.
[BUSINESS - E]
PARK DEVELOPMENT UPDATES, ART BOX PROJECT.SO, UM, AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE RECEIVED THE APPROVAL FROM TXDOT TO, UM, WRAP THE BOXES.
UM, FOLLOWING THAT WE RECEIVED THE SIGNED AGREEMENT.
UH, I HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE ART ALLIANCE, WHICH IS THE ORGANIZATION THAT, UM, DID THE ART CONTEST AND HAS ALL OF THE ARTIST CONTACT.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY, UM, THREE OF THE ARTISTS, UH, HAVE COMMENTS ON THE ARTIST RELEASE FORM THREE HAVE NOT RESPONDED.
UM, ONE I BELIEVE NO LONGER HAS THE ARTWORK.
UM, SO WE'VE REACHED A LITTLE BIT OF A ROADBLOCK.
UM, ONE OF THE ARTISTS HAS WORKED, UH, THROUGH THESE, UH, WITH OTHER CITIES.
SO, UH, THEY FEEL THAT THEY HAVE AN AGREEMENT FROM ANOTHER CITY THAT MAYBE IS A LITTLE MORE, UH, FAIR TO BOTH PARTIES.
UM, SO I WILL BE RECEIVING, UH, THAT AGREEMENT IF I DID NOT LAST NIGHT.
UM, BUT, AND, AND WE WILL REVIEW THAT AS A CITY TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING, UM, ON OUR SIDE THAT WE WOULD, UH, POTENTIALLY REVISE, UM, WITHIN OUR ARTIST AGREEMENT.
UM, BUT AT THIS POINT WE HAVE REACHED ANOTHER ROADBLOCK.
AND, UM, SO, YOU KNOW, I KNOW A WHILE BACK, UH, PRIOR TO US RECEIVING THE APPROVAL FROM TXDOT, WE HAD ONE OF THE, UH, BOARD MEMBERS OR TWO HAD ASKED, UM, WHAT ABOUT US DOING, JUST KIND OF STARTING OVER WITH A NEW ART CONTEST AND UM, YOU KNOW, KIND OF JUST THEN THEY, IF THEY SUBMIT, THEN THEY, THEY HAVE THE ARTIST RELEASE FORM AND MM-HMM
SO, UM, I WANTED TO SHARE THAT UPDATE WITH YOU ALL AND SEE, UM, I, I BELIEVE BACK THEN IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A 50 50 SPLIT, BUT SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, Y'ALL WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE AGAIN, UM, THAT MAYBE WE MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO THE ART ALLIANCE THAT WE, UM, DO A NEW CONTEST, UM, AND SEE HOW, HOW THAT WORKS OUT.
AND LIKE I SAID, THEY WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THAT AGREEMENT UP FRONT.
AND SO IF THEY CHOOSE TO SUBMIT, THEN THAT WOULD MEAN THAT THEY WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE WILLING TO SIGN THAT FORM.
UM, SO IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT Y'ALL ARE INTERESTED IN, WE CAN BRING THAT, UM, BACK ON THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM FOR Y'ALL TO MAKE ACTION ON.
UM, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT UPDATE AND SEE IF Y'ALL HAD ANY THOUGHTS AS WELL.
HOW DID EVANGELINE FEEL ABOUT IT? WHAT DID SHE THINK WAS BEST? UM, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT, UM, THAT, YOU KNOW, PRIOR TO HER RECEIVING THE, THE NEWS THAT SHE DID THE OTHER DAY, UM, WE HAD TALKED ON THE PHONE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SETTING A DEADLINE BECAUSE AT ONE POINT NOBODY HAD RESPONDED.
UM, AND SO SHE SENT A FOLLOW UP AND, YOU KNOW, I MADE THE RECOMMENDATION THAT WE SUBMITTED THAT WE, WE ENCOURAGE A DEADLINE BECAUSE WE CAN'T JUST, AFTER ALL OF THIS, WE CAN'T JUST WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO CHOOSE TO SIGN OR NOT SIGN.
AND SO IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA SIGN AND SAY THAT, SO THAT WE KNOW HOW TO MOVE ON, BECAUSE ALSO WITH THAT, THE, THE NUMBER OF BOXES THAT WE'RE ABLE TO WRAP RIGHT NOW WAS REDUCED, UM, BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION.
SO THE ONES THAT ARE ON 10 93 THAT ARE WITHIN THE TOLL ROAD CONSTRUCTION, UH, WE WOULD NOT BE WRAPPING AT THIS TIME DUE TO, UM, THERE, SOME OF THEM ARE BEING RELOCATED, THEY'RE IN A CONSTRUCTION WORK ZONE, WE DON'T WANNA WRAP 'EM, AND THEN WE GET DAM DAMAGED.
UM, SO EVANGELINE HAD, UM, KIND OF SHIFTED SOME OF THE, UM, ARTWORK AND I RECEIVED APPROVAL FROM MANAGEMENT BECAUSE WE, SHE WANTED TO TRY AND, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE GETTING SOME OF THE LOCATIONS THAT WE WERE WORKING ON THE, YOU KNOW, UH, THE BEST ARTWORK THAT WE WANTED TO SEE IN THOSE LOCATIONS.
AND SOME OF THEM THAT I, I BELIEVE WERE FAVORITES OF MANY OF Y'ALL.
SO, UM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE JUST, LIKE I SAID, KIND OF AT ANOTHER ROADBLOCK.
SO I'D LOVE TO HEAR SOME FEEDBACK.
WHO, WHO IS THIS LADY THAT YOU'RE SPEAKING ON? UH, SHE IS A LOCAL ART TEACHER.
UM, BUT SHE WAS THE, SHE HAS A, UH, ORGANIZATION CALLED THE ART ALLIANCE.
SO SHE'S THE ONE THAT WE ARE WORKING ON FULL ART ALLIANCE.
SHE'S THE ONE THAT KIND OF FACILITATED THE PROCESS FIRST.
SHE ORIGINALLY DID THE CONTEST AND CITY COUNCIL.
SO, SO WE DON'T HAVE THE ARTWORK AND, BUT THIS, SHE DOES WELL, SHE DOESN'T, I DON'T THINK, UH, SOME OF THEM, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, THE ONE SAID THAT THEY DON'T HAVE IT, BUT UNTIL THEY SIGN THAT RELEASE FORM, UM, THAT, AND SHE PROVIDE THAT TO THE CITY, THEN
[00:40:01]
THE CITY CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THEIR SAID ARTWORK.AND WITH THAT ARTIST RELEASE FORM, THEY'RE GETTING PAID $500.
UM, SO UNTIL WE HAVE THAT, WE JUST CAN'T MOVE FORWARD.
BUT IT WAS WHAT, THREE, FOUR YEARS AGO? SO SOME HAVE MOVED OR SOME, WHAT'S THE AMOUNT OR WHAT'S THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET WRAPPED RIGHT NOW? IT WAS SIX, WASN'T IT? LIKE, WAS SHE SAYING WE'RE GONNA WITHHOLD SOME OF THEM? BECAUSE IF WE, IF WE HAVE THREE COMMITMENT, OH, THREE WITH COMMENTS, NOT THREE COMMITMENTS MM-HMM
WE DO NOT HAVE ANY COMMITMENTS.
AND THE COMMENTS ARE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD EVEN SAY, IS IT EXTENSIVE COMMENTS OR IS IT LIKE, YOU KNOW, LITTLE TWEAKS HERE AND THERE KIND OF STUFF? I HAVEN'T SEEN IT JUST YET.
UM, SO ONCE, I BELIEVE IT IS, UH, FOUR BOXES, BUT LET ME CONFIRM THAT.
AS FAR AS WHAT WE WOULD BE CURRENTLY WRAPPING, I THINK INITIALLY WE HAD SIX, SO FOUR WOULD MAKE SENSE IF TWO WERE OUT.
SO WHEN YOU SAY COMMENTS, MEANING LIKE WHAT THEY'RE SIGNING, LIKE FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS, LIKE A RELEASE OF ARTWORK, COMMENTS ON THEIR CONTRACT.
WELL, YEAH, I MEAN I'M IN, I'M, I'M, I'LL GO ON RECORD SAYING I'M JUST IN FAVOR OF A WHOLE NEW CONTEST AT THIS POINT BECAUSE ME TOO, IT WAS SO LONG AGO THAT, I MEAN, THOSE PEOPLE MIGHT NOT EVEN LIKE THEIR ARTWORK ANYMORE.
I KNOW YOU HAD ALL SHARED THAT PREVIOUS OR SOMEBODY HAD SHARED THAT I WAS PRETTY VOCAL SIX MONTHS AGO THAT I THOUGHT WE NEEDED TO START OVER, BUT THAT WAS A PERSONAL OPINION.
I JUST FEEL LIKE IF, IF THERE'S SOME PUSHBACK, IF THERE'S COMMENTS, LET'S JUST GIVE A 30 DAY, LIKE YOU HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION.
AND IN THAT 30 DAYS WE COULD POTENTIALLY EVEN JUST RUN A NEW CONTEST TO BRING IN ARTWORK AND THEN AT 30 DAYS IF THOSE FOLKS DECLINE FOR WHATEVER REASON, AWESOME.
BUT THEN WE'VE ALSO GOT ARTWORK IN HAND BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA WAIT ANOTHER FOUR YEARS FOR THIS TO COME TO FRUITION.
LIKE THIS IS A GREAT CONCEPT, BUT LIKE WE GOT A LITTLE AMBITIOUS WHEN, WHEN ARTS ALLIANCE KIND OF STARTED THE CONCEPT.
'CAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE PAPERWORK IN IN HAND.
IF SOMEBODY'S GONNA PARTICIPATE THIS TIME AROUND, IF WE DO IT, THEY SIGN OFF ON EVERYTHING AND THEN AS SOON AS WE DECIDE HERE'S THE TOP THREE, WE'RE GOOD TO GO.
SO MY PERSONAL OPINION IS WE GIVE THOSE FOLKS THAT ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED LIKE A TIMEFRAME AND THANK YOU FOR SUBMITTING.
IF THEY DON'T LIKE THEIR ART, IF THEY'RE NOT HAPPY WITH THE COMPENSATION, IF THEY HAVE THESE DISCLAIMERS, YOU EITHER SIGN IT, YOU DON'T, WE MOVE ON AND WE'VE GOT NEW ARTWORK IN THE TILL THAT WILL HELP US FOR FUTURE WRAP BOX.
AND THEY COULD, THEY COULD READ IT, PUT A NEW ARTWORK THROUGH THE NEW PROCESS, YOU KNOW? MM-HMM
SO, AND LIKE A NON-RESPONSE TO WHETHER THEY RESPOND OR NOT, RESPONSE TO 30 DAYS.
I'M JUST NOT SURE THEY CAN SIGN THE COMMITMENT WITHOUT HAVING DO CHOSEN.
YOU TALKED, YOU SAID THEY SIGN IT WHEN THEY, WELL I THINK THAT'S THE NEW CONCEPT, RIGHT? THAT IF YOU ARE SUBMITTING ARTWORK, YOU WOULD ALSO SIGN OFF ON THE RELEASE FORMS AT THE SAME TIME.
I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT.
AND IT MAY BE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T SUBMIT, UM, THEIR FINAL JUST YET.
AND IT, I MEAN IT WOULD BE ALSO I'M, YOU KNOW, I'M SURE THE WORDING COULD BE THAT IT'S IN A WAY OF LIKE PENDING PAYMENT THAT THEN IF YOU WERE SELECTED AND PENDING THAT THE CITY PAID YOU, THEN AT THAT POINT THE ARTIST'S RELEASE FORM IS IN ACT.
UM, I MEAN I THINK WE CAN, OR AT LEAST LIKE IF YOU'RE SUBMITTING TO THIS, YOU AT MINIMUM AGREE TO THE TERMS MM-HMM
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU THE RELEASE UNLESS THEY'VE WON THE $500.
SOMETHING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, COMMITTING TO THE TERMS AS AN ARTIST, I WOULD, THAT'S THEIR LIVELIHOOD.
AND SOME OF THESE FOLKS THAT MAY BE THEIR, THEIR LIVELIHOOD TODAY THAT THEY DON'T WANNA JUST SIGN AWAY THE, THE PIECE OR THEY MIGHT JUST NOT LIKE THEIR PIECE ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY'VE EVOLVED AS AN ARTIST.
I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF VARIATION OF WHAT THOSE COMMENTS COULD BE.
UM, I JUST THINK IF WE CONTINUE TO WAIT, WE'RE GONNA BE HERE ANOTHER SIX MONTHS AND IT'S NOT I AGREE.
DEADLINE SHOULD WE TAKE A VOTE OR WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO HERE? YEAH.
SO IF Y'ALL ARE ALL IN LINE WITH, YOU KNOW, ESTABLISHING A SHORT TERM DEADLINE, UM, AND, AND LIKE I SAID, WE WILL LOOK AT THE COMMENTS THAT WE RECEIVE, IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO BETTER TO ENHANCE OUR AGREEMENT, UM, TO MAKE IT FAIRER ON BOTH PARTIES.
UM, I, I AM NOT SURE THAT IT'S NOT FAIR, BUT WE UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THAT OF AN OPINION.
SO WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT IT AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN ENHANCE.
AND IF SO, THEN, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, ESTABLISHING A SHORT TERM DEADLINE, UM, IF WE DON'T RECEIVE THAT RESPONSE THEN WE JUST, UH, Y'ALL ARE IN FAVOR OF MOVING FORWARD WITH A NEW, NEW ARTWORK.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE LIKE A, MAYBE A MAY 3RD DEADLINE PUT ON THIS, UM, THIS AGENDA ITEM FOR RESPONSE.
AND I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT TRACTION THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW WITH PARKS AND RECREATION.
I THINK WE'VE GOT A LOT OF STUFF THAT'S OUT RIGHT NOW.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT PARKS, SO THAT THAT MIGHT HELP BRING MORE, UM, ATTENTION TO THIS PROGRAM.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE TO TRY AND RELAUNCH THE PROGRAM DURING THIS TIME FOR MAY 3RD, BUT IF WE ARE CIRCULATING THAT MAY 3RD DATE PERHAPS IS LIKE THE, THE, THEY MUST GET BACK THAT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
BUT THE ARTIST COULD HAVE THE, FOR THE NEW COMPETITION COULD HAVE A LONGER WINDOW THAN JUST MAY 3RD.
[00:45:01]
WAS SEVEN, BUT UM, REMOVING THREE OF THEM DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION, IT WOULD LEAVE FOUR BOXES.BECAUSE EVEN IF THOSE THREE COMMENTS FOLKS, WE STILL ARE DOWN ONE ALL THE WAY, LIKE WE DON'T HAVE ANY MM-HMM
ARTWORK RELATED TO THE FOURTH BOX RIGHT.
THAT WE ARE ABLE TO UTILIZE MM-HMM
AND THAT'S WHY WE OPENED IT TO ALL OF THE ARTISTS TO SIGNING THE RELEASE FORM AND NOT JUST NARROWING IT TO THE ONES THAT WERE SPECIFIC TO THOSE LOCATIONS SO THAT IF SOMEONE CHOSE NOT TO SIGN, WE WERE STILL ACTIVELY ABLE TO THEN JUST SWAP.
UM, AND, AND CONTINUE THE PROCESS.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT SO FAR.
AND JUST TO BE SUPER DUPER CLEAR, WE ARE ALL APPRECIATIVE OF THE PEOPLE THAT ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED AND PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM AND WISH THAT IT WOULD'VE GONE A MUCH MORE EXPEDITIOUS WAY, BUT IT DIDN'T.
SO WE'RE IN A, A PROGRESS POINT RIGHT NOW THAT WE NEED THE ARTWORK.
SO WE CAN ACTUALLY PUT A PERIOD AT THE END OF THIS SENTENCE.
DEFINITELY WE'D LIKE TO HONOR THEM.
NEXT ORDER, UH, EAGLE LANDING.
SO EAGLE LANDING IS PROGRESSING.
UM, IF YOU'VE BEEN IN THAT AREA, YOU SEE THAT THE, UH, PLAYGROUNDS ARE BEING, UH, FINISHED UP NEAR FINISHING.
UM, THE, WE'RE WAITING ON A FINAL ELECTRICAL, UM, TO THE ACTUAL SITE FROM CENTER POINT.
AND THEN AT THAT POINT, UH, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME OF THE, UM, CLEARING OF ALL OF THE WEEDS THAT ARE GROWING THERE AND, UH, REALLY STARTING TO BE ABLE TO HOOK UP THE IRRIGATION, UM, FINALIZING THAT AND BE ABLE TO START, UH, GROWING THE GRASS.
SO, UM, RIGHT NOW, LIKE I SAID, WE'RE, WE'RE PRIMARILY WAITING ON CENTER POINT FOR THAT LARGER PIECE OF IT, BUT THEY ARE STILL PROGRESSING WITH THE CONCESSION AND RESTROOM BUILDING OF THE INTERIOR OF THAT AND UH, CONTINUING THROUGH.
SO, UM, AND THEN THE, UM, SOCCER ORGANIZATION, HTX, UH, REQUESTED SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE LIGHTING.
UM, WITH THAT THERE WAS SOME COSTS.
SO, UH, HTX WILL BE, UM, PAYING FOR THAT DIRECTLY TO MAKE THOSE MODIFICATIONS THAT THEY HAVE REQUESTED, WHICH ARE DIFFERENT, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FROM THE CONCEPT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAD ALL SEEN AS WELL AS THEM.
SO, UM, WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH THE CONTRACTOR, UH, FOR THEM TO PAY FOR THOSE MODIFICATIONS.
WHAT ARE THE MODIFICATIONS ON THE FIELD WITH, YOU SET YOURSELF UP FOR THAT ONE
HTX HAS STATED THAT THERE IS NOT A, UM, REQUIREMENT OF LIGHTING, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT ON THE BASEBALL SIDE, WHERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE, UM, THEY'RE SO HIGH UP AND JUST THE BALLS, ALL THE DIFFERENT LIABILITIES THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN BASEBALL.
SO FOR SOCCER THEY HAVE STATED THAT THERE IS NOT A REQUIREMENT.
SO WE'VE WORKED WITH THE DESIGN ENGINEER, UM, TO, THERE ARE SIX POLES ON SITE, UM, BUT HTX HAS ASKED TO PUT FOUR ON THAT MAIN FIELD INSTEAD OF SIX, AND THEN RELOCATE TWO OF THE EXISTING POLES THAT ARE ALREADY ON SITE TO, UM, IN BETWEEN TWO OF THE OTHER FIELDS ON THE OTHER SIDE.
UM, SO THE, THAT SIDE DOES NOT HAVE ELECTRICAL OR ANYTHING, SO THEY ARE HAVING TO PAY FOR THAT ELECTRICAL.
AND THEN, UM, THOSE POLES, LIKE I SAID, WOULD JUST BE RELOCATED.
'CAUSE FOR BASEBALL YOU HAVE TO HAVE REALLY GOOD LIGHTING.
SOCCER'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
I THINK THAT'S A, I THINK THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S NOT THE, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHY THEY'RE GOOD FOR RUNNING THE SHOW ON THAT KIND OF STUFF ASPECT.
'CAUSE THEY'RE FAMILIAR WITH ALL THAT FOR THE THEY KNOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? RIGHT, RIGHT.
SO AND THEY PUT THEIR MONEY UP FOR THOSE BENEFITS.
FOR THE ELECTRICAL PIECE, ARE WE ABLE TO THROW INTO THE CONSIDERATION THE ELECTRICAL LEASE, LIKE, UM, LINES AND THINGS THAT WE MIGHT POTENTIALLY NEED HERE OR WE NEED TO WAIT FOR THAT TILL LATER POINT? IT'S SOMETHING I'M GONNA LOOK INTO WITH IT AND SEE HOW WE CAN MANAGE THAT.
AND TIFFANY, WHO CHOSE THE, UH, PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT? UH, WE ALL DID.
SO IT WAS ALL PRESENTED TO THE BOARD AND THEN, UM, ACCEPTED THE, IT WAS EARLY ON WHEN I FIRST STARTED.
UM, I NEVER LAID EYES ON ANY OF THAT STUFF.
I WONDERED HOW IT YES YOU DID.
YEAH, WE DID THE EAGLES NEST, THE BURN DID PARK, WHAT THEY HAVE IN THERE ROPES DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE DID.
I'LL HAVE BEEN OVER THERE NOT IN THE LAST WEEK.
WELL, SINCE THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT'S UP, I'LL GO TAKE A GANDER
SO THAT, UM, THE LEAF THAT WAS, UM, REQUESTED, I THINK YOU'ALL HAD SEEN THIS.
AND THEN THERE WAS ORIGINALLY SOME PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT THAT WAS, UM, REAL WOOD AND WE SHARED THE MAINTENANCE ASPECTS OF THAT AND THE COST OF THAT.
AND WE SHIFTED TO A, UM, PLAYGROUND STRUCTURE THAT LOOKS LIKE TREES, LOOKS LIKE WOOD.
I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT MATERIAL, BUT THAT'S WHAT Y'ALL HAD LANDED ON.
[00:50:02]
HOW ARE WE DOING ON SCHEDULE? LIKE ARE WE, UM, WITH, WITH RAIN AND DIFFERENT THINGS, ARE WE ON TRACK TO HIT THE ORIGINAL COMPLETION OR ARE WE BEHIND AHEAD? THE LAST I RECEIVED WAS THAT, UM, THERE'RE STILL LOOKING AT SUBSTANTIAL IN MAY DEPENDING ON, UM, CENTER POINT, GETTING THAT POWER.IT MAY SHIFT SOME, UM, BUT SUBSTANTIAL BEING THAT THEY ARE OVERLY FINISHED.
BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE GRASS IS GROWN AND THAT THE FIELDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR USE.
SO THE FIELDS, THE GRASS AND THE FIELDS BEING ACTUALLY PLAYABLE WILL BE AFTER THAT SEVERAL MONTHS.
ARE WE TARGETING FALL 25 OR SPRING 26? FALL.
I DO KNOW THAT THEY'VE INSTALLED THE TRANSFORMERS, SO THAT WAS GOOD NEWS.
UM, SO HOPEFULLY FOLLOWING THAT THEN WE'LL CONTINUE TO GET, UH, PERMANENT POWER.
SO DO ALL THE FIELDS HAVE PERMANENT IRRIGATION OR IS IT TEMPORARY TILL THE SEED TAKES OVER AND I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK, BUT IF MY MEMORY SERVES THE FIELDS DO ALL HAVE IRRIGATION.
AT ONE POINT THAT WAS SOMETHING WE WERE CUTTING OUT, BUT THEN WE WERE ABLE TO RENEGOTIATE A LOT OF THINGS AND I ALMOST POSITIVE THEY ALL HAVE IRRIGATION.
THEY DON'T, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GROW GRASS.
PRIMROSE PHASE TWO, PHASE THREE UPDATES.
PRIMROSE PHASE TWO IS PROGRESSING ALONG VERY WELL.
UM, AN UPDATE WAS POSTED LAST NIGHT ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA, WHICH HAS THE DRONE FOOTAGE.
YOU CAN SEE, UM, THE UPDATES THERE.
UM, STORM SEWER IS BEING INSTALLED.
UM, SOME SANITARY HAS BEEN INSTALLED, UM, AND IT DEFINITELY, UH, LOOKS VERY DIFFERENT.
UM, SO THEY ARE PROGRESSING ALONG REALLY, REALLY WELL.
SO FAR WEATHER HAS BEEN FAVORABLE.
SO THEY'VE REALLY BEEN ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT AND DO GOOD WORK.
SO I KNOW YOU PRESENTED ON THIS, BUT FORGIVE ME 'CAUSE MY BRAIN, UM, WASN'T WORKING WELL WHEN I WAS ASKED THIS QUESTION.
UM, IN TERMS OF ALL THE, THE FURNITURE MM-HMM
LIKE THE BLEACHERS AND ALL THAT STUFF, IS THAT INCLUDED IN PHASE TWO CURRENTLY OR IS THAT A NEED? THAT IS A NEED? UM, SO CURRENTLY ONE FIELD WILL HAVE, UH, ELECTRICAL AND A SCOREBOARD.
THE REMAINING THREE FIELDS WILL NOT, THEY WILL HAVE CONDUIT RAN TO THEM, BUT THEY WILL NOT HAVE ELECTRICAL PULLED AND THEY WILL NOT HAVE A SCOREBOARD.
NO FIELD CURRENTLY WILL HAVE ANY, UM, SPECTATOR BLEACHERS.
THEY WILL NOT HAVE ANY SHADE STRUCTURES OVER THOSE BLEACHERS.
UM, WHAT ABOUT NETTING LIKE SAFETY NETTING FOR ALL THE FALL BALLS AND ALL THAT STUFF? IS NETTING INCLUDED? DID I BELIEVE IT IS, DID HAVE THAT? YES.
WELL, AND REMEMBER I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING A BREAKDOWN OF ALL THAT, BUT I THINK ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S, I CAN DOUBLE CHECK, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE FOUL NETTING IS, UM, YEAH, THERE WILL NOT BE WINDSCREEN ON THE FENCING.
UH, ONE FIELD WILL HAVE A WARMUP BULLPEN.
THE OTHER THREE FIELDS AT THIS TIME WILL NOT HAVE THE WARMUP BULLPENS.
THERE'S A, UH, GROUP D NON A CANDIDATE FOR CITY COUNCIL.
IS, HAS, IS DOING CRAWFISH BOILS.
SOME OTHER THINGS TO RAISE MONEY SPECIFICALLY FOR BLEACHERS.
WELL, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND ALL THE STUFF THAT'S STILL NEEDED.
SO WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME LIKE, OKAY, SO PRIMROSES PHASE TWO, WHAT'S STILL NEEDED IN THAT? AND THEN DUMB QUESTION, BUT THE CURRENT EXISTING BOND THAT WE HAVE FOR MAY, IS THERE ANY VERBIAGE, ANY WORDING? I KNOW THE ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN, IN PHASE THREE.
IT ALSO SAYS SOME, SOME WORDING IN THERE ABOUT ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL FOR SPORTS FACILITIES.
IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY IF THAT WOULD BE PASSED TO USE ANY OF THOSE BOND DOLLARS TO COMPLETE THE THINGS THAT WERE MISSING AT PHASE TWO? AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT ANSWER, I'M SORRY.
'CAUSE I'M PUTTING YOU ON THE SPOT
I KNOW THE ANSWER IN MY BRAIN, BUT I GOTTA MAKE SURE WHAT THE WORDING IS SO I DO NOT MISSPEAK.
SHE WANTS TO GET THE WORDING RIGHT.
I'M NOT GONNA MISSPEAK AT THIS TIME.
BECAUSE I'M JUST, FROM MY STANDPOINT WITH, WITH THE BOND THAT'S OUT THERE, IT, I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO TELL COMMUNITY MEMBERS IF THEY SHOULD CHOOSE TO GO OUT AND VOTE.
AND IF THAT WOULD PASS, IF ANY OF THOSE DOLLARS COULD BE USED TO COMPLETE PHASE TWO OUTSTANDING ITEMS. 'CAUSE THOSE, THOSE ITEMS WERE IDENTIFIED IN QU LIKE CHARACTERISTIC OF, WHAT WAS IT CALLED? ADD, ADD ALTERNATE.
IS THAT WHAT WE CALLED THEM? YES.
I THINK THEY WERE VALUE ENGINEERED OUT.
SO LIKE, THIS IS STILL OUR WISHLIST.
THIS IS WHAT WE INTENDED FOR, BUT WE HAD TO REMOVE
[00:55:01]
FOR COST PURPOSES.AND SO THAT ISN'T AN AUTOMATIC ROLL INTO PHASE THREE SITUATION.
SO IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING YOU WANNA WAIT TO TALK TO US ABOUT, WELL, I WAS READING THE PRESENTATION, BUT I'LL, I'LL SPEAK BECAUSE IT IS ON THIS CARD HERE.
YOU'LL SEE IT SAYS, UM, ADDITIONAL AMENITIES FOR THE SPORT FIELDS.
UM, SO THAT IS INCLUDING, UM, ADDITIONAL, UH, AMENITIES THAT, UH, OR WOULD BE NEEDED AT THAT TIME FOR PHASE TWO SECTION.
I THINK THAT'S GREAT NEWS TO KNOW.
UM, BECAUSE IT ALSO HELPS WITH THE COST QUESTION OF LIKE, WHY IS IT THIS DOLLAR AMOUNT? AND YOU KNOW, WITH, WITH PHASE TWO, WE ALL IDENTIFIED THE THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT WERE NEEDED FOR THE BASEBALL FIELDS TO BE FUNCTIONAL, NOT FOR THEM TO BE A TAJ MAHAL OR THE BEST THING EVER IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
AND TO ME, TO NOT KNOW THAT THERE IS, YOU KNOW, BLEACHERS, UH, OR, YOU KNOW, WARMUP PINS OR UH, ELECTRICAL, I KNOW THAT THOSE THINGS WERE CUT OUT TO HIT BUDGET SO WE COULD MOVE FORWARD.
BUT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO BE ABLE TO FIX THAT CORRECT.
UPON A POTENTIAL VOTE FROM THE COMMUNITY.
CAN YOU READ, THE FIRST PART YOU SAID WAS, I WANNA TAKE NOTES.
WHAT DID YOU WRITE DOWN? SO ONE FIELD.
ONE FIELD HAS ELECTRICAL AND LIGHTS AND A SCOREBOARD.
ONE FIELD HAS ELECTRICAL LIGHTS AND SCOREBOARD.
AND I WOULD ASSUME THAT FIELD IS THE SAME FIELD THAT HAS THE WARMUP PIN.
SO THERE'S ONE FIELD THAT IN THEORY HAS ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE NEEDED EXCEPT FOR SPECTATOR, UM, AND POTENTIALLY WIND OR ADDITIONAL NETTING.
SO YOU'VE GOT ONE THAT'S FUNCTIONAL.
WHICH SOME COULD SAY IS A LUXURY.
I SAY IT'S JUST A WHALE OF LIFE IN TEXAS, BUT TOMATO, TOMATO.
UM, THE OTHER THREE THEN WOULD BE ABSENT OF ELECTRICAL SCOREBOARD, WARMUP, PIN AND BLEACHERS.
NO SHADE, NO WIND PROTECTION, JUST THE FIELD.
AND I FORGET THE NO LIGHTS, NO CORRECT TERMINOLOGY AT THIS MOMENT, BUT ON, ON THE FIELDS, SOME OF THE FIELDS YOU'LL SEE THAT IT HAS THE, IT'S OFTEN YELLOW, SOMETIMES NOT.
UM, BUT ON TOP OF THE RAILING OF THE CYCLONE FENCE MM-HMM
UM, THAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE FIELDS EITHER.
SO THAT'S LIKE THE PROTECTIONS, THEY JUMP OVER THE FENCE KIND OF THING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE ARMOR, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IF YOU'RE NOT HITTING THE TOP.
AND ALSO SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE FENCE IS.
IT'S, IT'S LIKE AN ALERT AS THEY'RE RUNNING TOWARDS IT.
SOMETIMES THE FENCE BLENDS IN.
ONE FIELD HAS LIGHT SCORE AWARD.
DO, DO WE, DO WE KNOW WHAT THE COST OF THE SCOREBOARD? HAVE WE GOTTEN TO THOSE DETAILS YET? UM, I WILL CHECK WITH MY PROJECT MANAGER AND SEE, UH, 'CAUSE WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH SOME COOPERATIVE, GETTING DIFFERENT QUOTES FOR THE SCOREBOARD OF TRYING TO FIND, UM, A MORE AFFORDABLE ONE.
UM, SO I KNOW THAT WE HAD RECEIVED A QUOTE BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE THE LABOR.
UM, SO WE WERE REQUESTING THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A QUOTE THAT INCLUDES THE LABOR FOR THE INSTALLATION OF IT.
SO I WILL SEE IF WE HAVE RECEIVED THAT UPDATED QUOTE YET.
WHAT THEY'RE GONNA LOOK LIKE IF THEY'RE GONNA HAVE ADVERTISING.
'CAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE ASKING ME FOR ALL THESE LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT, THAT ARE LIKE, THEY WANT THAT SCOREBOARD.
LIKE WE CAN GET THE SCOREBOARD PAID FOR EASILY, BUT IF IT DOESN'T HAVE ELECTRICAL, THEN THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S RIGHT.
AND THAT WOULD, SO THE ONE FIELD WE WERE ABLE TO, WHEN WE AWARDED THE BASE BID OR WHEN WE AWARDED THE CONSTRUCTION, WE WERE ABLE TO SELECT THAT ALTERNATE ON THE ONE FIELD.
UM, THE GOAL OF COURSE IS TO CONTINUE THAT THROUGH THE OTHER THREE FIELDS.
BUT YOU DID SAY ALSO THAT THE ELECTRICAL WAS RUN ON ALL THE FIELDS, RIGHT? NO, NO.
THE CONDUIT IS SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO TEAR UP THE GRASS.
IT'S MUCH MORE COST EFFECTIVE FOR THE CONDUIT VERSUS PULLING THE CABLE.
THAT CAN BE DONE AT A LATER TIME.
WELL, FROM THE CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD, THE COMMUNITY'S SUPER EXCITED ABOUT PHASE TWO.
IT WOULD BE LOVELY TO SEE PHASE TWO COMPLETED IN ITS ENTIRETY, BUT I KNOW IT'S BUDGET CONSTRAINTS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE LEADING US TO VALUE ENGINEER STUFF OUT.
I THINK IT'S AMAZING THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE TRYING TO RAISE THE FUNDS TO PAY FOR SOME OF THOSE ITEMS. BUT AGAIN, I JUST THINK IT'S, UH, IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE SHOW UP AND VOTE IN MAY VOTE.
WELL, AND LIKE YOU SAID, OUR, OUR CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO ARTICULATE THE FACT THAT THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY IS ALSO TO FACILITATE THESE OTHER ITEMS THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT POTENTIALLY TO SEE AT A BASEBALL FIELD AND IT TIMEFRAME WISE MAY TAKE A LITTLE BIT AFTER.
PHASE TWO IS COMPLETED PROCESS.
PROCESS, BUT IT WILL BE GET GET GOING PROCESS.
I'M GRATEFUL FOR WHAT WE HAVE COMING.
UH, SO SINCE THE BOND DISCUSSIONS WITH COUNSEL AND AMPHITHEATER, DISCUSSIONS WITH COUNSEL, UH, WE RECEIVED DIRECTIONS.
SO WE HAVE NOW RELEASED THE ENGINEERS ON THAT SO THAT WE CAN,
[01:00:01]
UH, PICK UP THE DESIGN AGAIN.SO THEY ARE TAKING ALL OF THE FEEDBACK THAT THEY RECEIVED FROM THEIR PRESENTATION AND EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE SHARED WITH THEM SO THAT THEY CAN, UM, WORK WITH THE AMPHITHEATER ARCHITECT AS WELL AS THEIR DESIGN TEAM TO, UH, PICK THAT BACK UP.
SO IT'S BACK MOVING AND OFF OF HOLD.
[BUSINESS - F]
NEXT ONE.I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS PART.
COMMISSIONER MEMBER RAMONA RIDGE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE US A BRIEFING OF HER.
PLEASE KEEP IT FOR LESS THAN 20 MINUTES, PLEASE.
IT'S TWO, TWO HOURS
WELL BECAUSE, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS, AND I, TIFFANY, I SENT IT TO YOU AND I THINK YOU SAID YOU, YOU KNEW OF IT.
THERE IS A, A COMPANY, IT MIGHT BE THIS ONE, NEV FCO.
I'M NOT, I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME THAT OFFERS A FREE SCOREBOARD, BUT IT HAS ADVERTISING ON IT.
AND I THINK YOU SAID YOU KNEW ABOUT IT OR YOU HAD TALKED TO THEM, OR I SENT YOU THE INFORMATION WHEN I GOT BACK FROM THE CONFERENCE.
I KNOW THAT WHEN YOU SENT ME THE ZAP A EDI WAS AWARE OF THAT ONE AND, AND KNEW THAT CHIEF AND I WERE WORKING THROUGH DISCUSSIONS ON THAT.
I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK INTO THE SCOREBOARD ONE IF THAT'S ONE THAT WE ARE, UM, HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH.
SO THE ONLY THING I WOULD NOTE ON THAT IS, UM, THAT THE ADVERTISEMENT, I THINK THAT, UM, DAX WAS REFERRING TO WOULD BE, UH, LIKE A SPONSORSHIP OF BUSINESS.
BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT IF IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS PRETTY MUCH, BUT SCOREBOARD, RIGHT? WITH THE ADVERTISEMENT? NO, NO.
BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THE OTHERS FIELDS, I MEAN, IF WE CAN GET 'EM IN FREE, UM, YEAH, NOTHING'S FREE.
YEAH, WELL, NO, YOU HAVE TO PUT OUT, IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU GO, YOU SEE THOSE TELEVISIONS IN THE RESTAURANTS THAT ARE SHOWING ADVERTISING.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THAT, THAT CAN BE A GOOD, UM, A GOOD OPTION ALTERNATIVE.
BUT JUST SOMETHING, I THINK, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, IT WAS NCO BUT I MIGHT BE WRONG.
I, I SENT IT TO YOU WHEN I GOT BACK.
I LOOKED UP THE PICTURE ON THE TEXT, SO I'LL UH, SEE IF THAT IT, SOME OF THEM LOOK SIMILAR, BUT ARE DIFFERENT COMPANIES.
THAT ONE LOOKS SIMILAR, BUT UM, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE EXACT COMPANY, BUT WE CAN LOOK INTO IT.
WELL IT WAS VERY EDUCATIONAL, VERY INFORMATIVE.
UM, IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO SEE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES, THINGS THAT WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT.
ONE UH, LECTURE I WENT TO WAS THE TRAVIS COUNTY FOUNDATION, UM, WHO HAVE, IT'S TRAVIS COUNTY AND THEY STARTED A FOUNDATION FOR PARKS, WHICH IS, UM, THERE'S SEVERAL AROUND HERE.
THERE'S MEMORIAL PARK CONSERVANCY.
ANYWAY, THERE'S A WAY THAT THEY CAN RI RAISE PRIVATE FUNDS AND GET GRANTS THAT CITIES CANNOT DO.
UM, SO I DO HAVE PARKED A NONPROFIT OF 5 0 1 C3 TO START A FOUNDATION.
UM, AND THAT WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT DO'S AND DON'TS WHEN YOU START A FOUNDATION, UM, YOU KNOW, PROGRAM SUPPORT, FIN FINANCIAL SUPPORT'S A BIG ONE.
UM, IT'S A WAY THAT WHEN THE CITY COULD NOT TAKE A, A PRIVATE DONATION, THE FOUNDATION COULD, THAT SORT OF THING.
AND THEN THERE WERE ALL KINDS OF FUN THINGS IN THE EXHIBITION.
YOU CAN SEE IT IN YOUR, UH, PRINTOUT THAT TIFFANY KINDLY MADE THESE, UM, THE WATER FOUNTAIN THAT HAS ALSO A SMALL DOG FOUNTAIN AND A WATER BOTTLE FILLER.
I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE COULD USE.
AND THERE WERE ALL KINDS OF FUN, UM, CHAIRS, THESE ALL ABILITY THINGS THAT ANYBODY WOULD HAVE FUN WITH.
THAT LIGHT BLUE CHAIR SPINS AROUND AND JUST THE 2025 SAFE VERSION OF THOSE OLD MERRY-GO-ROUND THAT WE USED TO GO FLYING OFF OF.
BUT UM, ALL IN ALL, THERE WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION.
UM, IT'S REALLY, I WOULD RECOMMEND ANYBODY NEXT YEAR.
UM, AND WE ALL USED TO GO AS A GROUP, BUT IN NEXT YEAR I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVEN IF YOU JUST GO TO THE EXHIBITION HALL AND LOOK AT ALL THE NEW THINGS THAT ARE OUT THERE.
AND I BROUGHT ALL THE BROCHURES THAT I SEEMED, ANYTHING WE MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN, THEY'RE ALL DOWN THERE AT THE END OF THE COUNTER FOR YOU ALL TO LOOK AT.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I THINK I SENT YOU THAT WE NEED THIS
TAKING YOUR TIME TO OUTTA YOUR DAY TO GO DO THAT.
[01:05:01]
PRESENTATION REGARDING THE[BUSINESS - G]
PARKS AND RECREATION MONTHLY BUDGET REPORT ALSO THAT COME ACROSS.OH, SO WHERE ARE YOU
SO THAT'S, UM, SO SORRY MY MIC WASN'T ON.
UM, SO WE ARE NOW PAYING FOR CONSTRUCTION AS WELL AS STILL CON CONSTRUCTION SERVICES ON THE DESIGN SIDE, BUT UH, SO YOU'LL START SEEING LARGE SUMS COMING OUTTA THAT.
'CAUSE THAT 6.4 IS WHAT IS, UH, BUDGETED ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION ON PRIMROSE OR YES, PRIMROSE.
[BUSINESS - H]
COMMUNITY INTEREST.WELL YOU ALREADY TALKED ABOUT IT, BUT ANYBODY THAT CAN SHOW UP SATURDAY
I ALSO WANTED TO NOTE, UM, IT WILL BE ON SOCIAL MEDIA SOON, UM, BUT ASSOCIATED TO PRIMROSE IN MANY WAYS THE, AND THE POTENTIAL FUTURE OF PHASE THREE.
BUT, UH, WE WILL BE HOSTING THE HUGGINS ROAD GROUNDBREAKING AND SO EXCITING TIMES FOR THAT, UH, PROJECT THAT, YOU KNOW, AS A CITY ROAD.
BUT WE'VE PARTNERED WITH THE COUNTY ON THAT AND UH, THAT WAS PART OF THE BONDS FOR THE COUNTY.
UM, SO IT WILL BE COMING, UM, ON SOCIAL MEDIA REAL SOON, BUT, UH, ANTICIPATE APRIL 21ST AT 2:00 PM APRIL 21ST.
[BUSINESS - I]
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S POSSIBLE OR, YOU KNOW, AFTER THAT DISCUSSION ABOUT THOSE, UM, ADDITIONAL ITEMS FOR PRIMROSE PHASE TWO, IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO KIND OF LOOK AT THAT LIST AGAIN AND MAYBE TALK ABOUT LIKE WHAT THE COSTS TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WOULD STILL COST TO GET THOSE ITEMS FINISHED? OR IS THAT SOMETHING FOR LATER THAT WE NEED TO PUSH FOR? UH, SO TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND, SO YOU WANT LIKE A LIST OF EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT INCLUDED CURRENTLY IN PHASE TWO, RIGHT? UM, AND THEN THE ES THE ESTIMATED ASSOCIATED COST, CORRECT? YES.I CAN PULL SOMETHING OF THAT TOGETHER.
UM, JUST KNOW THAT THOSE COSTS ARE ESTIMATED.
UM, LIKE IF IT'S WAS PROVIDED WITH THE BID THAT INCLUDES OTHER THINGS AND UM, AND YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T AWARD IT AT THAT TIME, SO IT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT, BUT YEAH.
YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
DO WE KNOW WHEN WE'RE GONNA GET THE QUOTES BACK FOR THE SCOREBOARDS? IS THAT LIKE A 30 DAY KIND OF WAIT TO GET IT BACK KIND OF DEAL? WE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING.
UM, AND IF SO I CAN SHARE SOME FEEDBACK ON THAT IF WE HAVE IT.
UM, WE'RE TRYING TO FIND A COOPERATIVE.
UM, SO THAT, WHAT THAT MEANS IS COOPERATIVES, UH, GOVERNMENT ENTITIES, WERE ABLE TO, UM, THERE'S DIFFERENT COOPERATIVES BY BOARD IS ONE OF THEM AS AN EXAMPLE.
THEY GO OUT AND THEY DO THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING AND THEN THE CITIES ARE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT COMPETITIVE BIDDING AS A COOPERATIVE AND UM, IT'S ALREADY BEEN COMPETITIVE BIDS.
SO IT SPEEDS UP THE PROCESS ON THE CITY SIDE TO NOT HAVE TO GO OUT AND DO THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING AGAIN.
UH, THE COOPERATIVES MIGHT HAVE A MUCH LARGER POOL THAN MAYBE THE CITY DOES FOR WHO THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO REACH TO OR, UM, THROUGH OUR SYSTEM.
SO, UM, I CAN SEE, UH, HOPE WE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING BY THE NEXT MEETING.
WE'VE GOT TOMORROW'S BOND TOWN HALL THAT DAX IS COMING TO AT 10 30 HERE.
UM, WE'VE ALSO GOT, UM, THERE'S ANOTHER PRESENTATION, ISN'T THERE? THAT'S THE ONLY ONE BETWEEN NOW AND ELECTION DAY, CORRECT? THAT WILL BE THE LAST TOWN HALL.
TO MY KNOWLEDGE, WHAT DAY IS ELECTION DAY? UH, THAT'S MAY 3RD.
EARLY VOTING STARTS, UH, ON THE 22ND, 22ND SATURDAY.
SO, UH, THAT IS THE TUESDAY OF THAT EARLY VOTING WEEK.
AND IT RUNS THROUGH, I BELIEVE THE NEXT TUESDAY AND THE FIRST WEEK IS 7:00 AM TO 7:00 PM VOTING.
YOU CAN VOTE AT ANY FORT BEND COUNTY ELECTION LOCATION DURING EARLY VOTING, BUT THE TWO LOCAL ONES ARE AT THE LIBRARY AND AT THE FIREHOUSE.
AND SO BY OUR NEXT MEETING, THE VOTE WOULD BE COMPLETED.
WE WOULD KNOW THE, THE RESULTS CORRECT.
BY NEXT MEETING WE WILL KNOW IF IT PASSED OR IF IT FAILED.
UM, ONE OTHER THING I WANTED TO BRING UP IS, UH, THE, THE GROUP OF GENTLEMEN THAT WE'RE TRYING TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE BALL FIELDS TO GET THE, THE BLEACHERS AND, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING ELSE THAT IT'S GONNA BE HELD ON THE 26TH.
I, I LET THEM KNOW THAT THAT WAS ALSO THE DATE OF THE SOCIETY PROSPER
[01:10:01]
SOCIETY PROSPER.UH, IT SEEMED TO THINK THAT THEY DON'T, I DON'T THINK THAT'S GONNA CONFLICT, UM, AMONGST IT, BUT, SO THAT'S THE DAY, THE 26TH.
SO HOPEFULLY GOOD WEATHER, HOPEFULLY WE CAN RAISE UP TO $20,000 AND UH, THAT SHOULD BUY QUITE A FEW FEATURES.
SO HOPEFULLY IT'LL BE A GOOD START.
SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO IT AND KIND OF, YOU KNOW, HELP FROM OUR SIDE OF THAT AS WELL.
SO HOPEFULLY WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AND YOU AND YOU.
I KNOW YOU LIKE CRAWFISH, WE'LL ALL BE THERE.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING OF.
THAT WAS THE OTHER EVENT I COULDN'T REMEMBER.
SO YOU FILLED THAT IN PERFECTLY.
THE ONLY OTHER THING FOR FUTURE LOOKING FOR IF WE'RE GONNA SAVE OTHER ITEMS FOR THE FUTURE MEETINGS WAS WE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW HOW MUCH TIME DO WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT FOR THE PRIMROSE FIELDS FOR, HAVE WE TALKED MORE ABOUT THAT? DO WE KNOW WHEN WE NEED TO START HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS IN HERE? AS FAR AS OUR PARTNERSHIPS, IF WE NEED TO HAVE ANY PARTNERSHIPS IN THE FIELDS, I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF ORGANIZATIONS REACH OUT TO ME, UH, RECENTLY.
SO, UM, THEY TYPICALLY ASK TO JUST COME IN AND INTRODUCE THEMSELVES, MEET WITH ME, UM, HEAR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PARK.
UM, I USUALLY SHOW THEM A RENDERING JUST SO THEY'RE, UM, FAMILIAR WITH IN CASE THEY HAVEN'T SEEN IT.
SO, UM, WITH THAT, EVERYBODY THAT REACHES OUT, I MAKE A LIST SO THAT, UM, ONCE THAT TIME COMES, THEN THEY'RE ON THAT EMAIL PROCESS.
SO WE DON'T NEED THAT FOR THIS NEXT MEETING THEN? I DON'T THINK SO JUST YET.
UM, I KNOW FOR SURE AS OF AT LEAST YESTERDAY, UM, 'CAUSE I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT MY EMAILS FOR THIS MORNING, SO, UM, AT LEAST FOR YESTERDAY I'VE HAD TWO ORGANIZATIONS REACH OUT.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
I MOVE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN MEETING.
VICKY, ALL FAVOR? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
