[00:00:01]
SO WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS WE'RE GONNA CALL THE ORDER TODAY'S FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14TH.
AND, UH, WE'LL START, START THE MEETING.

[Business – A]

[Business – B]
OKAY.UH, THE CITY COUNCIL UPDATE PROVIDED BY LIAISON RICHARD RUSSELL.
MR. RICHARD RUSSELL, ARE YOU PRESENT? NO.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE HE IS AT? NO.
DID HE SAY ANYTHING TO NO, I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING.
NOT UNLESS HE TEXT ME THIS MORNING, OR, EXCUSE ME, EMAILED ME THIS MORNING.
[Business – C]
DISCUSSIONS.ANY CONSIDERATION WITH POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE FORMATION OF A BASEBALL LITTLE LEAGUE? THIS IS GONNA BE A BIG TOPIC.
SO, JUST WANTED TO KIND OF BRING SOMETHING TO Y'ALL'S ATTENTION AND JUST KINDA GET Y'ALL'S, UH, BUY-IN.
UH, WE'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS SINCE THE LAST MEETING ABOUT THE FORMATION OF A LITTLE LEAGUE AND, UH, STAFF AND THE EXECUTIVE TEAM WITH SOME OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE DISCUSSED IT, AND SOME OF THE, AT LEAST ONE OF THE BOARDS, MEMBER PARKS, BOARD MEMBERS, THAT, UH, THE RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THAT THE PARKS BOARD TAKE THE LEAD IN HELPING FORM THE LITTLE LEAGUE BOARD.
UM, IDEALLY THE MEMBERS THAT WOULD, UH, HELP FORM THE BOARD WOULD WANNA STAY ON AND KIND OF MOVE THAT PROCESS FORWARD, BUT AT LEAST AT A MINIMUM, AT TAKE THE LEAD IN, UM, PROMOTING A BOARD FORMATION AND GETTING IT OFF THE GROUND.
UH, THE, THE CITY STAFF AND THE CITY ITSELF WILL, UH, SUPPORT THAT INITIATIVE BY OPENING THE CITY FACILITIES FOR ANY PUBLIC MEETINGS THAT WE MAYBE WANT TO HAVE.
ALSO, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT PUSHING THOSE THINGS OUT ON SOCIAL, OUR SOCIAL MEDIAS TO GET THE RESIDENTS IN THE AREA, UM, INFORMED ABOUT ANY MEETINGS THAT WOULD, WOULD, UH, OCCUR THAT BASICALLY WOULD BRING THE RESIDENTS IN THAT WERE INTERESTED IN POSSIBLY BEING ON THE BOARD.
AND THEN FROM THERE, THE BOARD WOULD TAKE THE, THAT BOARD WOULD TAKE THE LEAD IN FORM A FORMING THE FULCHER LITTLE LEAGUE.
SO, I KNOW DAX HAS TAKEN A LITTLE BIT OF, UH, HE'S ALREADY STARTED KIND OF BEATING THOSE FENCES A LITTLE BIT, SO HE'S GOT A LITTLE YEAH.
SO, UH, WANNA OPEN THAT UP FOR ANY DISCUSSION OR COMMENT, OR IF Y'ALL WANT TO GO AHEAD AND VOLUNTEER.
SO, UM, KIM, YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND LET US KNOW, KIND OF, YOU KNOW.
I'LL LET YOU TAKE THE LEAD ON THIS ONE.
UM, I THINK IT'S, IT'S, UH, A LOT OF PROGRESS HAS BEEN REALLY MADE ON THIS, AND I KNOW THE MAJORITY OF US SITTING UP HERE, UH, KNOW THAT THE LAND WAS ALWAYS DONATED WITH THE INTENT OF THEIR BEING A LITTLE LEAGUE SET UP INFORMED AND FULL SURE AT LEAST THAT WAS THE, THE WISHES OF THE FAMILY THAT DONATED THE LAND.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING AND THERE'S BEEN TONS OF PROGRESS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE ON PRIMROSE WITH PHASE ONE AND NOW PHASE TWO OF THE BASEBALL PIECE.
UM, I CAN JUST SAY THERE IS TON OF INTEREST, AT LEAST EXPRESSED BY MY NEIGHBORS, THE COMMUNITY FOR BASEBALL TO BE HERE IN SHORE.
AND WE REALLY, AT LEAST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, MY PERSONAL OPINION, WANNA HONOR THAT BEING LITTLE LEAGUE BECAUSE THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN KIND OF THE INTENT OR THE VISION AT LEAST, THAT THAT PARKS AND REC HAS KIND OF SEEN FOR, FOR THAT PARK.
SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO, TO REMEMBER WHAT THE INITIAL PIECE OF LAND THAT WAS DONATED WAS INTENDED FOR.
AND WE'RE TRYING TO HELP FORWARD, UM, THAT VISION.
SO I THINK THERE HAS BEEN SOME GROUNDWORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE BEHIND THE SCENES BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT WANNA SEE THIS, THIS HAPPEN, AND MM-HMM
I THINK THERE'S BEEN SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, START THOSE INITIAL PHASES OF CONVERSATION WITH, UH, LITTLE LEAGUE NATIONALLY.
I THINK THERE'S BEEN SOME OTHER GROUPS THAT MIGHT HAVE HAD SOME OTHER, UH, VISIONS FOR WHAT THE PARK COULD REALLY BE.
[00:05:01]
A ROLE IN HELPING START THE LITTLE LEAGUE WOULD BE GREAT, BECAUSE I THINK IT HELPS CARRY THE VISION FORWARD.UM, I ALSO THINK THERE'S ANOTHER PIECE OF THIS PUZZLE, WHICH WE CAN TALK TO DOWN IN, IN ONE OF THE OTHER ITEMS IN PRIMROSE, IS JUST GETTING IT UP AND RUNNING IN 26, KNOWING THAT THERE'S NO WAY A LITTLE LEAGUE CAN FORM IN 26 IF, IF THIS IS SUCCESSFUL AND MOVES FORWARD.
WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT 27.
SO HOW DO WE UTILIZE THOSE FIELDS TO BE RENTED OUT FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, NOT MONOPOLIZE, BUT RUN IT OUT TO DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT CAN USE THAT.
SO I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS IS THAT, UM, DAX, MYSELF, OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS AS COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO TRY AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.
WE KNOW RIGHT NOW THAT THE CITY OF RE, UH, SPACE PROPER HAS OTHER LITTLE LEAGUE PARKS THAT ARE ZONED TO OUR CITY.
AND I THINK THE DESIRE IS TO HAVE A LITTLE LEAGUE THAT IS THE FULCHER CITY LIMITS.
UM, AND FROM MY PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE, I DON'T THINK THAT'S A WHOLE HECK OF A LOT TO ASK, KNOWING THAT FULCHER HAS GROWN SO FAST, KNOWING THAT WE ARE IN A DIFFERENT PLACE THAN WE WERE, YOU KNOW, 20, 30 YEARS AGO.
SO SOME OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAVE JUST BEEN LIKE, HEY, CAN THIS HAPPEN? AND WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN? UM, SO I KNOW I'VE PLAYED A ROLE IN THAT OUTSIDE OF THIS BOARD, JUST TO SEE WHAT, UM, WHAT THAT COULD BE.
SO I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW, KNOWING THAT THERE HAS TO BE SOME LEG WORK TO SEE IF THIS IS POSSIBLE, TO SEE WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS.
BUT REALLY TO HAVE THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED AND HAVE IT BE, UH, INCLUSIVE AND OF ANYBODY THAT REALLY WANTS TO HELP SEE THIS GET OFF THE GROUND IS WHERE WE'RE AT.
SO I'LL KIND OF JUMP IN A LITTLE BIT TOO, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED COMING INTO FRUITION AND WE'RE LIKE, WOW, THIS IS REALLY STARTING TO HAPPEN.
WE DISCUSSED, UH, WITH TIFFANY, YOU KNOW, BRIEFLY, HEY, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET SOME TRACTION WITH THE LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL
I ALREADY KNEW LITTLE LEAGUE IS GOING TO BE, IT'S A HUGE CORPORATION, AND THERE'S A LOT OF, UH, RED TAPE, SO TO SPEAK, AND YOU HAVE TO GET PERMISSION FROM OTHER NEIGHBORING CHARTERS.
YOU HAVE TO GET THEIR PERMISSION.
IF THEY DON'T GIVE YOU THEIR BLESSING, THEY CAN LITERALLY COME TO A GRINDING HALL.
SO THAT BEING, UH, SOMEBODY'S GOTTA TAKE THE LEAD.
SO WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT, AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING.
AND FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS, KIND OF FROM A, JUST A DAD STANDPOINT, UH, A COMMUNITY, I LIKE TO SAY SOMEWHAT OF A COMMUNITY LEADER AND JUST TRYING TO DO IT, UM, YOU KNOW, AT, AT OUR OWN ACCORD, TRYING TO SET OUR, OUR, OUR, OUR KIDS UP FOR SUCCESS IN BASEBALL.
UM, NOW CAMERON'S BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART IN THIS AS WELL.
WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.
CAMERON, MYSELF AND KIM, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
WE WANT TO GET THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE GET A LOT OF CALLS, A LOT OF TEXTS, A LOT OF MESSAGES GOING, WHAT CAN WE DO? AND WE'RE LIKE, HEY, WE'RE GONNA NEED YOU.
THIS IS A 20, 30 MINUTE 20, 30 PEOPLE ON THE COMMITTEE.
THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF, AND THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE THE SECOND AND RUN, AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE DELEGATE ALL THAT OUT.
BUT AS OF NOW, WE'VE BEEN CONTACTING LITTLE LEAGUE AND GETTING THE BALL ROLLING TO GET ALL THE PAPERWORK FILLED OUT AND GET EVERYTHING GOING.
THAT'S JUST A BIG STEP THAT'S GOTTA GO IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
SO THIS IS A, THIS IS A NON-STARTER.
IF THE LITTLE LEAGUE LINE, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE ZONED TO THE KATY AMERICAN LITTLE LEAGUE, BUT THE, IT'S ON, THAT'S IT.
UM, BUT THE, UH, THE FIELDS ARE IN THE BRAZOS LITTLE LEAGUE TERRITORY, IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH.
SO HOW WOULD THAT WORK? LIKE IF BRAUS AND, AND KATIE DON'T SORT OF RELINQUISH THIS TERRITORY? SURE.
SO, YOU KNOW, UM, RELATIONSHIPS IS IMPORTANT IN ANYTHING, IN ALL ASPECTS.
AND SO OVER THE YEARS, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO CREATE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PRESIDENT OF, UH, KATY BASEBALL, UH, MR. BRIAN SILLS.
UH, SO HE'S GOING TO GIVE US OUR RIGHTS FOR THE CITY OF RE WHATEVER PART FALLS INTO THAT, WHICH THE BIGGEST PART IS CROSS CREEK RANCH.
SO THEY'RE VOTING THE, THE MEETINGS OF MINUTES RIGHT NOW, UH, HE'S GOT, GOT ALL THE GROUNDWORK LAID.
HE UNDERSTANDS THAT IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
YOU CAN'T MAKE KIDS DRIVE 25 MINUTES TO GO PRACTICE WHEN THEY'RE SIX YEARS OLD.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? MM-HMM
SO HE'S GONNA GIVE HIS CROSS CREEK RANCH.
SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE TAKE CROSS CREEK RANCH, WE'LL BE ABLE TO APPROVE THE LITTLE LEAGUE, UH, WILLIAMSPORT AND BRAS.
UM, FULL DISCLOSURE, I'VE CONTACTED, UH, SHANE PAVLOCK WITH BRAS LITTLE LEAGUE, AND HE HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALL.
I'VE CALLED HIM FOUR TIMES, TEXT MESSAGES MULTIPLE TIMES, SENT ON THE COPIES OF THE MAPS.
SO, UH, THANK GOD WE DON'T NEED THAT.
WE HAVE ENOUGH TO KIND OF MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT WE GOT.
I WOULD LOVE TO TRY TO EXTEND OLIVE THE BRANCH TO HIM, BUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME, YOU KNOW, THERE IT BE NO ON RECORD.
HE IS NOT, NOT CONTACTING US AND, AND, UH, IN, UH, AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
SO THAT BEING SAID, EZ DOESN'T REALLY FACTOR INTO US.
SO HE DOES HAVE THE RIGHTS, OR THEY DO HAVE THE RIGHTS THAT ENCOMPASS
[00:10:01]
OUR FIELDS.THAT DOESN'T MAKE A BIT OF A DIFFERENCE TO US BECAUSE IT'S A CITY OF RE PROPERTY.
AND SO, UH, WE CAN, YOU KNOW, START OUR OWN LITTLE LEAGUE, YOU KNOW, SO, UH, IF ANYBODY KNOWS HIM, WE'D LIKE TO, FOR HIM TO REACH OUT TO US SO WE CAN, YOU KNOW, TRY TO GET THAT WORKED OUT.
BUT, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE PUSHING FORWARD.
THAT BEING SAID, WE'RE PUSHING FORWARD.
SO, UM, LIKE WE MENTIONED, WE'D LIKE TO MAKE A, AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO EVERYBODY TO BE ABLE TO INVOLVE THE COMMUNITY.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT DONE FROM OUR HEARTS, NOT FROM OUR POCKETBOOKS.
IT'S, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO, YOU KNOW, IT, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO GET UP AND IT'S GONNA BE A, A FAMILY COMMUNITY, UH, LITTLE LEAGUE IS OUR HOPES AND GOALS.
SO WE'RE ALREADY WORKING ON THAT.
UH, ANOTHER THING WE MENTIONED IS SPRING BASEBALL MAY PROBABLY MO REALISTICALLY IS NOT GONNA BE VIABLE.
ESPECIALLY FROM A NEW LITTLE LEAGUE STANDPOINT.
I THINK WE CAN GET THAT UP AND RUNNING BY THEN.
SO WHAT SHE WAS ALLUDING TO IS MAYBE, UH, TRYING TO GENERATE SOME INCOME AND GETTING SOME, NOT EVEN SO MUCH JUNIOR INCOME, MAYBE GETTING SOME OF THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, PICKUP GAMES WITH THE COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, UH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT THAT'LL BE ANOTHER CONVERSATION THAT WE CAN LEAD INTO.
BUT JUST WANNA MAKE IT REAL CLEAR OF OUR INTENTIONS ON WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO FOR THE, FOR THE COMMUNITY, FOR FULL.
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE WERE, WE WERE HOPING.
AND, UM, AGAIN, CITY WILL SUPPORT THAT EFFORT THROUGH LIKE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS TO ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS TO GET INVOLVED AND ALSO OPENING UP THE FACILITIES FOR ANY PUBLIC MEETINGS THAT WE MAY NEED TO HAVE.
UM, WE, JUST TO BRIEFLY TOUCH ON IT, WE, WE HAVE TALKED INTERNALLY ABOUT THE WHOLE RSA PROCESS AND, AND REALLY NOT DOING THAT BECAUSE OF LITTLE LEAGUE.
NOW COUNCIL MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION, BUT FROM THE INTERNAL DISCUSSION, STAFF'S OPINION IS THAT WE DON'T DO THE RSA FOR PRIMROSE.
UM, AND, UM, ALLOW THE LITTLE LEAGUE TO FORM AND THEN GIVE THE R YOU BASICALLY TURN THE RSA OVER TO THE LITTLE LEAGUE TO KIND OF GET FIRST RIGHTS TO THE, WHAT IS AN RSA, THE, UM, REGISTERED SPORTS ASSOCIATION.
SO, AND THAT WAS IMPORTANT FOR EAGLE LANDING.
I THINK THAT THAT WAS, THAT WAS A DIFFERENT SITUATION.
YOU KNOW, THIS SITUATION IS, UH, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
SO WE'LL RENT IT OUT FOR WHOEVER WANTS TO HAVE IT.
AND THEN ONCE THE LITTLE LEAGUE IS FORMED, WE WILL FORM A SUPPLEMENTAL RSA, LIKE WE DID WITH HTX, AND, UM, THEY'LL HAVE FIRST RIGHTS TO RENTAL TIMES AND ALL THAT.
THAT'LL BE WORKED INTO THE AGREEMENT.
JUST ONE QUESTION AND CLARIFIER, 'CAUSE I THINK I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS, BUT AT THIS TIME, THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE THE STAFF OR THE AVAILABILITY TO HAVE A LIAISON THAT IS ON CITY STAFF RUNNING LITTLE LEAGUE.
THAT JUST IS NOT A VIABLE OPTION RIGHT NOW.
I MEAN, WE JUST, WE DON'T HAVE, WE ARE, WE'RE HIRING A PARKS AND RECS PERSON, BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY THEIR ROLE, IS IT? IT'S TO RENT FIELDS AND, AND DO EVENTS AND, AND ORGANIZE ALL OF THAT.
BUT THE, FROM THIS, FROM THE OWNERSHIP OF THE FIELD STANDPOINT, BUT NOT NOW, WE CAN, WE CAN DEFINITELY DISCUSS THAT PERSON, OR ONE PERSON BEING PART OF THE, THE GROUP AS IT'S STARTING TO GROW, JUST TO KIND OF KEEP THE MM-HMM
AND THEN AS IT DEVELOPS, THEY CAN BOW OUT JUST LIKE Y'ALL WANT.
IF Y'ALL WANNA JUST BE THE GROUP THAT GETS IT GOING AND THEN STEP ASIDE AFTERWARDS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE MY GOAL.
YOU KNOW, MY WIFE'S LIKE SIMILAR.
WHY ARE, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? I'M LIKE, 'CAUSE SOMEBODY'S GOT TO, YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE OF THESE THINGS WHERE WE ALL DO THIS, YOU KNOW? UM, 'CAUSE IF WE DON'T, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T GET DONE RIGHT.
SO, AND THERE MAY BE WAYS TO GENERATE ENOUGH INCOME FROM MARKETING AND ADVERTISEMENT TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR A POSITION WITHIN FARE TO BE ABLE TO REALLY TAKE THE LEAD ON THAT KIND OF STUFF.
THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY TO BE ABLE TO GENERATE WITH ALL THE CITIES AND STUFF.
I'M SORRY, THE COMPANIES AND, UH, ENTREPRENEURS AND, AND OWNERS OF RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES AND STUFF THAT MAY BE ABLE TO LEAD INTO THAT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH, WE CAN KIND OF LEARN ALL TOGETHER.
I'LL JUST SAY THAT NUTS AND BOLTS OF ACTUALLY RUNNING A LEAGUE IS INSANE.
IT IS VERY, UH, HAVING DONE IT RE SPORTS, AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW, THIS, THAT RE SPORTS HAS COME UP HERE IN OTHER CONTEXTS.
I'M NOT TRYING TO PUSH ANYTHING, BUT, UM, SCHEDULING, ORDERING UNIFORMS, IT IS A FULL-TIME JOB TIMES TWO OR THREE.
I MEAN, AND THAT'S WHY JESS AND I HAD TO EVENTUALLY MOVE AWAY FROM IT BECAUSE IT WAS, IT OCCUPIED EVERYTHING.
SO I LIKE THE ESTABLISHING IT FROM A COMMUNITY, GETTING IT GOING FROM A COMMUNITY.
BUT WHEN YOU GET TO THE NITTY GRITTY OF RUNNING A LEAGUE, UM, IT'S, YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMEBODY DEDICATED TO IT.
AND WHETHER THAT'S AN OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION OR WHETHER YOU HIRE SOMEBODY IN THE CITY, OR WHETHER IT'S COMMUNITY BASED,
[00:15:01]
IT IS A FULL-TIME JOB.AND, YOU KNOW, UM, THERE'S JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT BECAUSE I THINK THERE'LL BE A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR IT.
BUT THEN WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO FINDING PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY SCHEDULE THE GAMES, TAKE THE UNIFORM ORDERS, PUT THE TEAMS TOGETHER, I MEAN, THAT TOOK, UH, A LONG TIME WHEN JESS AND I WERE RUNNING THE, THE FULL SURE SPORTS FOR WHATEVER SPORTS WE WERE RUNNING AT THAT TIME.
IT WAS A FULL-TIME JOB, WHICH IS WHY WE HIRED OTHER PEOPLE TO SORT OF HELP US OUT.
JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
ONE GOOD THING THAT WE HAVE TO OUR ADVANTAGE IS WHEN YOU'RE, THE FULL SPORTS IS A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT SPORTS AND A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT SCHEDULING.
TPT
DONE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? ORDERS, WE COME FROM A BASEBALL BACKGROUND, SO WE HAVE ALL THE CONNECTIONS FOR ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
UM, IT, IT, FOR BASEBALL, WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO A LOT OF THAT.
BUT WHAT HE'S SAYING IS TO HAVE PEOPLE THAT AREN'T NOT OVERLY EXCITED, LIKE, I'D LOVE TO HELP.
AND THEN WHEN IT COMES ON TO IT, YEAH.
OH, I GOT MY KIDS EVENTS, I GOT THIS.
'CAUSE THEY DON'T REALIZE THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO IT.
UM, THAT'S WHY PEOPLE TRADITIONALLY WANNA GET PAID FOR ALL THAT STUFF.
AND THAT'S WHY PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS DO ALL THAT.
SO YEAH, THIS IS A PURE EXAMPLE OF THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WAS ABOUT TO COME ON OUR SHOULDERS FOR THE, THE, THE WELLBEING OF TURE.
IT'S GONNA BE, IT IS GONNA BE A LOT.
SO, UM, YEAH, IT'S GONNA BE A LOT.
AND CLIFF, BACK TO THE POINT THAT YOU WERE MAKING ABOUT THE CITY INVOLVEMENT.
I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY AWESOME IF WE HAD SOMEONE INVOLVED FROM EITHER COUNCIL OR THE CITY THAT'S REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT IT.
UM, AS WE MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, CAMERON'S BEEN PLAYING A, A, A ROLE BEHIND THE SCENES OF JUST HELPING GET SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS AS A COMMUNITY MEMBER STARTED.
SO IF WE COULD HAVE SOMEONE THAT HELPS KIND OF BRIDGE THAT GAP, I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT.
BECAUSE THE INTENT IS FOR THIS TO BE COMMUNITY RUN EVERYTHING ON THE UP AND UP TRANSPARENT NON-PROFIT FOR THE KIDS LABOR OF LOVE.
LIKE DAK SAID, I HAVE REALLY NOTHING TO GAIN OUT OF THIS.
I GOT ONE KID, HE'S 10, HE'S NOT GONNA BE PLAYING, YOU KNOW, LITTLE LEAGUE ON THIS PARK, BUT WE ALL WANNA SEE IT UP AND RUNNING.
AND TO YOUR POINT, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S WHY COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE LITTLE LEAGUE BEFORE THAT HAVE HAD A ROLE THAT ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT.
IS REALLY WHAT I THINK THIS ACTION ITEM IS ABOUT IS, YOU KNOW, THE LITTLE LEAGUE BOARD HAS TO FORM IN ORDER FOR LITTLE LEAGUE TO, TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP.
BUT THEN WE'VE NEED, WE NEED COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT.
AND THAT'S GONNA BE MORE THAN 10 PEOPLE.
AND THEN AFTER THAT, IT'S GONNA BE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY WANNA PUT THEIR KIDS, YOU KNOW, IN LITTLE LEAGUE.
SO THIS IS MUCH BIGGER THAN US.
UH, IT'S MUCH BIGGER THAN THE PARKS AND REC BOARD AND WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO ASK FOR YOUR HELP WITH ALL YOUR VAST EXPERIENCE
UH, BUT WE'RE NOT PAYING YOU SO
SO, UH, NO, BECAUSE IT IS TRUE THOUGH.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, AND THEY RAN THIS AT A HIGH LEVEL AND MY, MY KIDS, MY SON PLAYED A LOT OF SPORTS AND IT WAS A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE AND THEY'RE ORGANIZED AND WE ENJOYED IT AND, UH, IMMENSELY.
SO YEAH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA BE REALLY, REALLY INVOLVED.
AND I, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK THAT'D BE A PROBLEM.
THERE'S ALWAYS THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE PASSIONATE, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY SACRIFICE THEIR TIME.
SO, BUT, AND JUST LOOKING DOWN THE LINE, I MEAN, RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN PARKS AND REC CAPACITY, BUT AS THE LITTLE LEAGUE CONVERSATIONS CONTINUE, JUST TO START THE CONVERSATION WITH LEGAL OF WHAT CAN WE VOTE ON, WHAT CAN'T WE VOTE ON? IF WE'RE PLAYING BOTH ROLES, IF WE'RE INVOLVED IN LITTLE LEAGUE AND THEN WE'RE TAKING ACTION FOR SOMETHING, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW WHERE THAT STANDS.
IF IN FACT, THREE OF US ARE REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT BEING INVOLVED IN LITTLE LEAGUE, CAN WE DO THAT AS PARKS AND RECS COMMISSION MEMBERS? SURE.
I WOULD LOVE FOR THE, THE CITY TO LOOK, LOOK INTO THAT, AND THEN ADVISE THAT THE NEXT MEETING WHAT THAT CAN OR CAN'T BE.
CAN WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO REACH OUT TO LEGAL, LEGAL JUST TO VERIFY AND CLIFF, WHAT IS IT EXACTLY YOU NEED TO VOTE ON TODAY? WE, WE DON'T, I WE, WE JUST, I KNOW WE HAD TALKED LAST MONTH ABOUT GETTING THE LITTLE LEAGUE BOARD FORMED AND KIND OF WHERE THAT WHO SHOULDER THAT BURDEN HADN'T REALLY BEEN ESTABLISHED.
WE WERE, WE TALKED INTERNALLY ABOUT HOW THAT LOOKED.
WE'VE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH COUNSEL LIKE MR. MILLER AND DAX AND A FEW OTHER PEOPLE THAT IS LIKE, HEY, HOW, HOW, HOW DOES THIS LOOK? AND IT'S LIKE, HEY, IT'S REALLY JUST RESIDENT BOARD THAT MAYBE A STAFF LIAISON OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT'S SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE.
IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN HASH OUT.
IS BORDERLESS SHARE OPEN WITH THE COMMUNITY AND LET THEM KNOW KIND OF WHAT'S GOING ON.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND JUST SAY, HEY, WE'RE GONNA NEED Y'ALLS HELP.
UH, 'CAUSE IT'S, THERE'S, IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE A LOT FOR THREE PEOPLE.
WHAT SAID POSSIBLE ACTION? WELL, I GUESS THE ONLY OTHER ODD THING WAS TO, I GUESS, NOMINATE PEOPLE TO DO THAT.
AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'VE NOMINATED THEMSELVES OR THEY WERE NOMA TOLD
MY WIFES THINKS I'M CRAZY, BUT YEAH, WE, WE DID, YOU KNOW, AND 'CAUSE LIKE HER, MY
[00:20:01]
SON'S PROBABLY WON PLAY ON THE, ON THE, YOU KNOW, WHICH IS FINE.YOU KNOW, IT'S FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.
MY, MY MY KID'S IN COLLEGE RIGHT NOW, MY OLDEST ONE, SO GRANDKIDS PRETTY SOON.
SO, UM, SO ANYBODY, ANYBODY ELSE WANNA BRING ANYTHING ELSE? YOU'VE GOT SOME GOOD POINTS.
YEAH, I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT LITTLE LEAGUE, BUT I'M HERE FOR IT.
YOUR POINT WILL COME IN WHEN THE MONEY STARTS ROLLING IN AND HOW TO ALLOCATE IT TO THE PROPER THING.
SO SHE'S THE, SHE'S ONE OF THE MONEY PEOPLE.
SO, UH, BUT YEAH, PARKS AND REC I THINK WOULD BE A BIG PART OF THAT BECAUSE WE'RE HERE FOR IT, YOU KNOW? UM, I KNOW YOU STARTED WANTING PRIMROSE TO BE BUILT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS AGO AND SO WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU'RE PART OF THE BEAUTIFICATION PROCESS UP IN ROSE AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.
SO, D'S LAST COMMENT, JUST TO CLARIFY.
IF IN THE WORST CASE SCENARIO THAT LITTLE LEAGUE AND RE DOESN'T GET UP AND RUNNING AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE REALLY TARGETING FALL OF 26, JUST TO BE CLEAR MM-HMM
UM, IF IT DOESN'T GET UP AND RUNNING, THEN THAT WOULD BE A SITUATION WHERE WE DO THE RSA OF SOME SORT TO FIGURE OUT WHO ACTUALLY IS PLAYING THERE.
'CAUSE I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, AS A TAXPAYER, THESE FIELDS, UM, WE'LL COME WITH SOME OPERATIONAL COSTS.
WE WANNA MAKE SURE THEY'RE BEING USED, BUT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THEY'RE AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF LITTLE LEAGUE OR WHOEVER THE RSA WOULD BE IF IN WORST CASE SCENARIO.
UM, BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, IN THE INTERIM, GRASS HAS GOTTA GROW.
WE'VE GOTTA GET IT UP AND OPERATIONAL.
WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT AND D THREE OF THE OPERATIONS OF PRIMROSE, 'CAUSE I'VE GOT SOME CONCERNS THERE.
UM, BUT RIGHT NOW I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO GET ALL THOSE THINGS KIND OF IN LINE AND THEN HAVE SOME SORT OF GRAND OPENING AFTER THOSE THINGS ARE IN PLACE SO WE CAN EDUCATE AND SHARE WITH THE, THE COMMUNITY.
AND I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT RUSHING TO GET TO SOME SORT OF GROUND BREAK OR RIBBON CUTTING BEFORE WE'VE GOT ANY OF THOSE THINGS WORKED OUT.
NO, WE'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT TOO.
NO, IT'S, WE'RE WE ONLY SIT OUT THERE WHEN IT'S ALL COLD AND CLAMMY AND JUST TRYING TO, HEY, YOU KNOW, I THINK MAYBE WHEN THE SUN'S COMING BACK UP IN MARCH OR APRIL AND ONCE IT STARTED TO BECOME VIABLE, WE REALLY WELL, AND I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT AT THAT POINT THEN THE COMMUNITY COULD SHOW UP TO THAT EVENT AND WE COULD SHARE, HEY, THIS IS SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE, THIS IS WHEN IT'S GONNA START.
HEY, THIS IS HOW YOU RUN A FIELD.
HEY, THIS IS ALL THE EDUCATIONAL STUFF THAT I THINK, YOU KNOW, ANYBODY THAT'S LISTENING TO THIS MEETING IS GONNA WANNA KNOW.
WE'RE JUST NOT THERE YET AT ALL.
THAT WAS, UH, DISCUSSION PARK DEVELOPMENT
[Business – D (Part 1 of 2)]
ART BOX PROJECTS.AS YOU KNOW, THE FOUR ART BOXES WERE WRAPPED AND RECEIVED WELL BY THE COMMUNITY.
I THOUGHT THEY LOOKED AWESOME.
YEAH, WE'D LIKE TO DO MORE OF IT.
I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE, UH, REALLY WANTING TO PROBABLY INCORPORATE THAT WITH IS THE CONCESSION STAND AT PRIMROSE.
IT'S, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S PUTTING A BIG OLD BULL OR COW OR SOMETHING.
REAL TEXAS WOULD LOOK REALLY COOL, BUT NO, ALL, ALL JOKES TO THE SIDE.
IT'D BE MEMORABLE TOO, RIGHT? PEOPLE COME TO THE PARKS AND LIKE, IT LOOKS GREAT.
I DID NOT SEE ONE NEGATIVE COMMENT.
I WAS WAITING FOR THE MONEY SPENT ON IT, OR THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE ARTWORK OR SOMETHING.
DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE, THE OTHER TWO, THE ONE AT 10 93 IN CHARGER WAY OR, OR BOART? UM, THAT'S NOT IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE.
SO I DON'T, AS, AS FAR AS I KNOW, I THOUGHT, I THOUGHT WE WERE JUST WAITING ON WEST PARK TO WEIGH PROGRESS FOR THOSE TWO.
SO THAT'S WHAT'S WELL, YOU'VE GOT, I THINK, I THINK, YEAH, LIKE, I THINK THAT THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT IT GETTING MESSED UP WITH THE CONSTRUCTION.
WE'RE THERE EVERY SATURDAY AND WE DON'T GET MESSED UP
I MEAN I, YEAH, I JUST, I THINK THAT THAT'S RATIONALE.
I'M SAYING WELL, THERE'S A SMALLER ONE ON THE SOUTH WEST CORNER THAT WOULD NOT BE IN THE WAY.
THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE AND THE MEDIAN DEFINITELY WOULD BE IN THE WAY.
BUT THE ONE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SHORE, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE FARMER'S MARKET OFFICE.
AND THAT ONE COULD BE WRAPPED.
AND WHERE'S THE OTHER ONE WE'RE WAITING ON? IT'S JUST THOSE, SO IT'S JUST THOSE TWO BOAR AND 10 93 AND THEN IN THE MEDIAN.
THAT'S, ARE THOSE THE ONLY TWO WE'RE WAITING ON? I BELIEVE SO.
'CAUSE WE HAD SIX, DIDN'T WE? IT WAS EIGHT.
SO WE HAD THE ONE IN CROSS CREEK, RIGHT.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE ENTRANCE HERE.
[00:25:01]
FOR DALE WEBB POSSIBLY THE NEW SIGNAL THAT'S ABOUT TO BE TURNED ON.UM, THEN 3 59 AND UM, CHARGER BOAT ARK.
DO WE HAVE ENOUGH ARTWORK? DID WE APPROVE? WELL, I THOUGHT THAT WAS PART OF THE, THE, THE COMMENT BETWEEN THE FIRST FOUR AND THE LAST FOUR IS THAT THERE MIGHT BE A NEW CONTEST.
I DON'T THINK THAT WE HAD ART FOR THE, I DON'T THINK WE HAD EIGHT.
THAT WAS PART OF THE ISSUE IS THAT WE WANTED TO GET NEW ARTWORK FOR THE LAST FOUR.
SO MAYBE WE CAN OPEN THAT BACK UP.
WELL MAYBE OPEN IT BACK UP WITH THE, WELL WE'VE GOT THAT FURTHER DOWN WITH THE CONCESSION STAND.
THAT LOOKS LIKE MY 1970S HIGH SCHOOL BATHROOM.
YEAH, I THINK IT LOOKS, I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT, UH, OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ARTIST AS WELL AS THE PARK KIND.
ANYTHING ELSE? UH, EAGLE LANDING.
A GRAND OPENING TOMORROW FROM 11 TO ONE.
SO UNFORTUNATELY I WON'T BE ABLE TO BE THERE.
I'LL BE, UM, IN WACO WITH MY SON IN COLLEGE, SO, UM, I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF COME, I'M REALLY NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT TOO.
BUT ARE YOU GONNA BE ABLE TO MAKE IT OR ARE YOU YEP, I PLAN TO BE THERE.
WHAT ARE THE DETAILS? JUST, I'VE SEEN THE FLYER, BUT ARE THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE CAN HELP ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND OUR PERSONAL PLATFORMS? JUST SAY, I MEAN, OTHER THAN THE FLYER THAT'S OUT THERE, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA OPEN UP THE FACILITY.
ARE THERE VENDORS OR ANYTHING THAT'S GONNA BE THERE? JUST THE DETAILS.
SO WE'RE GONNA BE PROVIDING SOME FOOD OURSELF.
WE'RE GONNA BE COOKING, UH OH WOW.
YOU BE COOKING
UM, WE'RE GONNA HAVE, WE'LL HAVE A WHOLE PROGRAM.
IT'S ABOUT 15, 30 MINUTES LONG WHERE PEOPLE WILL COME UP AND SPEAK.
UM, PARKS AND REC, MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, HTX, ALL, ALL THE INVOLVED PARTIES WILL COME UP AND GIVE THEIR LITTLE TALK.
WE'LL DO SOME PHOTOS JUST LIKE WE WOULD NORMALLY DO AT ANY GRAND OPENING.
AND, UM, WE ARE GONNA HAVE, I THINK KONA ICE IS GONNA BE OUT THERE.
AND THEN A COFFEE, A COFFEE VENDOR, UH, TRAVELING TOMS COFFEE WILL BE THERE.
SO THAT'S KIND OF THE, THE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT EXHIBITION? YEAH.
AND SO HX IS GONNA BE DOING SOME, SOME STUFF OUT THERE, LIKE A LITTLE EXHIBITION GAME AND SOME, SOME DR SOME DRILLS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO WE'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR KIDS TO GET OUT THERE AND START KICKING SOME BALLS AROUND AND IT'LL BE OFFICIALLY OPEN WHEN WE'RE DONE.
AND, UM, I THINK THE GRASS IS GONNA BE ALMOST READY.
I THINK IT'S, IT'S, IT'S DONE WELL.
IT'S GETTING, IT'S GETTING THERE.
I PLAN TO BE THERE TOMORROW AND I THINK IT'D BE GREAT IF ANYBODY ELSE CAN JOIN.
AND UH, YOU KNOW, IF WE CAN DO ANY SOCIAL MEDIA PUSHES ON OUR PERSONAL PLATFORM OF THE CITY'S FLYER AND STUFF, JUST TO GET EVERYBODY OUT THERE SO THAT THEY KNOW IT'S HAPPENING.
HAVE A LITTLE FUN THAT AFTERNOON.
IF THE WEATHER'S LIKE TODAY, IT'S GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL AGAIN AFTER THE HOT DOG, GO TO THE FARMER'S MARKET, THEN GO TO
UH, THREE PRIMROSE, PHASE TWO, PHASE THREE.
BASEBALL FIELDS OF 2020 OR 4, 20 20.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANS, BUT UM, I'M SURE IT'S 2025, YOU KNOW, SO, OH YEAH.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
BUT PERIMETER, PHASE TWO, PHASE THREE.
UH, SO, SORRY, NOT YOU JUST PROJECT PROGRESS.
UH, THEY'RE, THEY CONTINUED PAVING, UH, SIDEWALKS IN BETWEEN THE FIELDS.
THE OUTFIELD FENCES ARE GOING UP.
UH, SO THAT'S A COUPLE THINGS THEY'VE BEEN DOING LATELY.
UM, ONE THING FOR 25, I THINK I ALLUDED TO THIS EARLIER.
WE'VE GOTTA BE TALKING ABOUT THE OPERATIONS OF THIS PARK AND IN THEORY, IF IN 25 WE REALLY DON'T HAVE AN, YOU KNOW, AN ORGANIZED TEAM THAT'S PLAYING THERE, HOW DO WE INTEND TO RENT OUT THOSE FIELDS? OR WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WHAT IS THE SOFTWARE THAT'S GONNA BE USED? I HAVE NO CLUE IF THE CITY HAS TALKED ABOUT IT OR NOT, BUT THAT'S A HUGE PIECE OF THIS AND I THINK THAT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING COMPLETELY NEW.
UM, IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A ROLE THAT'S CURRENTLY OPEN THAT MIGHT BE THE PERSON THAT'S KIND OF SPEARHEADING THIS OR OVERSEEING IT FROM A, YOU KNOW, A MANAGEMENT STANDPOINT.
BUT DO WE HAVE ANY IDEAS OF WHAT SOFTWARE OR HOW THAT'S GONNA RUN OR WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE NOW? OR IS THAT SOMETHING WE MOST CERTAINLY NEED TO START LOOKING INTO? 'CAUSE THAT'S GONNA BE, I THINK, STEP ONE.
'CAUSE ONCE THE FIELDS ARE UP AND RUNNING, THEN IT'S GONNA BE HOW DO WE ALLOW PEOPLE TO USE THEM OR BOOK THEM, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
[00:30:06]
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.SO WE HAVE STARTED THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
SO AS FAR AS THE POLICY AND PROCEDURES OF RENTING THE PARK, THAT ACTUALLY IS ON NEXT TUESDAY'S COUNCIL MEETING.
SO THAT WILL BE IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR THE RENTAL POLICY.
UM, IT DOES ALSO INCLUDE THE RSA, ALTHOUGH THAT'S NOT GONNA BE SPECIFIC FOR THIS, BUT JUST PART OF THE GENERAL FIELD RENTAL POLICIES TALKS ABOUT THE SERVICES THAT THE CITY CAN PROVIDE VERSUS IF AN INDEPENDENT ENTITY WANTS TO DO IT, FIELD MAINTENANCE, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
UM, AS FAR AS THE RENTAL, BECAUSE WE WON'T HAVE AN RSA, UH, WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING IT A LITTLE BIT FIRST COME FIRST SERVED DURING THIS INTERIM PERIOD TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS USED.
UM, ALWAYS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE ONE FIELD THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC, UH, JUST FOR OPEN PLAY, GETTING OUT THERE, THROWING A BALL.
UM, AS FAR AS SOFTWARE, WE ARE LOOKING AT WHAT THAT ULTIMATE SOFTWARE EXPERIENCE IS GONNA LOOK LIKE.
WE ARE GONNA START WITH RENTALS THROUGH OUR GOV WELL SOFTWARE, UH, WHICH WE CURRENTLY USE IN-HOUSE, UH, IT'S NOT SPECIFIC FOR FIELD RENTALS ITSELF.
WE USE IT FOR LIKE PERMITTING AND A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT CITY FUNCTIONS.
UH, BUT IT DOES HAVE A RENTAL MODULE.
SO WE'LL BE USING THAT WHILE WE'RE IN MORE OF THE NOT SLOWER SCALE, BUT WHILE WE'RE NOT DOING GIANT SEASON LONG RENTALS THAT ARE GONNA BE OUT THERE.
UH, SO WE WILL MAINTAIN THAT CALENDAR, UH, AS WELL AS TAKING THE PAYMENTS THROUGH THAT SYSTEM.
BUT IF THE BOARD DOES HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS, WE WILL START FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR, START LOOKING FOR A MORE ROBUST FIELD RENTAL SPECIFIC, UH, PROGRAM.
SO IF YOU DO KNOW OF ANY, WE'RE HAPPY TO TAKE SUGGESTIONS AS WE BUILD THIS OUT.
RECOMMENDATION OR JUST SUGGESTION.
I, I LOVE THE FIRST COME FIRST SERVE, BUT IS THERE ANY LANGUAGE OR CAN THERE BE ANY LANGUAGE INCLUDED THAT SOMEBODY JUST CAN'T COME AND BLOCK OUT OR REQUEST IT FOR ALL ATTORNEY? BECAUSE WE WANNA MAKE SURE THIS IS OPEN TO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS, GROUPS, PEOPLE, CITIZENS.
WE DON'T WANT SOMEONE, YOU KNOW, AT 8 0 1 BLOCKING OUT THE ENTIRE WEEK BECAUSE THEY HAVE REASONS OF THEIR OWN THAT THEY WANNA USE IT.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE A RECOMMENDATION WE WOULD HAVE AS WELL.
SO FROM STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE, THAT WOULD CERTAINLY NOT BE OUR INTENT TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO GO DO THAT.
BUT YES, ADDING SOME SPECIFIC LANGUAGE I THINK WOULD HELP CODIFY THAT BETTER.
MAYBE FULL FOR RESIDENTS FIRST.
UH, WE CAN, WE DO NOT HAVE THAT IN THE LANGUAGE FOR THE PREVIOUS POLICY, LIKE FOR EAGLE LANDING, SO WE WOULD TRY TO KEEP IT SOMEWHAT CONSISTENT.
BUT YES, THAT IS SOMETHING COUNCIL COULD ADD OR AMEND TO IT.
SO YEAH, WE DEFINITELY WANT TO GET SOME LANGUAGE IN THERE TO LIMIT HOW MANY PRACTICES PER WEEK AN INDIVIDUAL TEAM CAN DO.
ORGANIZATION PROBABLY, YEAH, BECAUSE THEY'LL COME IN THERE, THEY'LL SEND SOMEBODY OUT THERE AND KIND OF PUT THEIR LAUNCHER OUT THERE AND GO, IT'S OUR FIELD.
AND THEN LIKE 20, 30 MINUTES LATER THE TEAM SHOWS UP AND IT, IT'LL HAPPEN.
WE'LL, WE'LL, WE'LL IT IS A LEARNING PROCESS SO WE'LL KIND OF, YOU KNOW, ADJUST AS WE GO TO, AS WE SEE THAT.
UH, ANOTHER THING FOR RENTAL, UH, FIELD RENTAL PRICES, UM, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN KIND OF SET AND GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THAT YES.
THOSE WERE SET ALREADY BY COUNCIL EARLIER THIS YEAR IN JANUARY.
THE FIELD SCHEDULE, UH, THE FEE SCHEDULE WAS AMENDED FOR FIELD RENTAL PRICES.
I'D LIKE TO TRY TO GET, UH, A LOOK AT THAT IF POSSIBLE.
AND IF YOU DO LOOK AT THE PACKET FOR TUESDAY NIGHT, THE POLICIES IN THERE AND THE FEE SCHEDULES AND ALL THOSE ARE ATTACHMENTS AS WELL.
THERE WAS A RECOMMENDATION LAST MONTH ABOUT THE FIELD MAINTENANCE FOR PRIMROSE, UM, THAT UH, THE COMMISSION HAD TALKED ABOUT, UM, GO MOVING FORWARD WITH USING FUNDS TO HELP MAINTAIN THE FIELDS FOR I THINK THE INITIAL FIRST YEAR, TWO OR THREE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT RECOMMENDATION, HAS THAT BEEN APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL? IS THAT ON THE DOCKET FOR NEXT WEEK? IS THAT ANYWHERE IN THIS CONVERSATION? I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHAT THAT DISCUSSION WAS, SO I CAN'T ANSWER THAT ONE.
CLIFF, DO YOU RECALL IF THAT WAS INCLUDED IN ANYTHING WITH THE POLICY WHO'S MOWING AND KEEPING THE GRASS COMING? YEAH.
SO THE POLICY CURRENTLY STATES THAT CITY STAFF WILL MAINTAIN THE FIELDS.
SO WHETHER THAT'S CITY STAFF OR A THIRD PARTY THAT WE HIRE TO DO IT MM-HMM
IT WILL, IT WILL BE MANAGED IN TAKEN CARE OF BY OUR INTERNAL STAFF AT LEAST IN THE SHORT TERM UP UNTIL OKAY.
UNTIL EVERYTHING'S, UNTIL IF WE HAVE AN ESTABLISHED ORGANIZATION THAT MAY BE SITUATED TO HANDLE THAT.
'CAUSE I THINK THAT JUST THE CONVERSATION LAST MONTH WAS MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING KIND OF GROWS AND GETS UP AND RUNNING MATURES IS APPROPRIATE, ESPECIALLY DURING THIS TIME WHERE PEOPLE ARE KIND OF RENTING IT AND MAY YES.
BE OUT THERE FOR MORE JUST FUN RECREATION THAN ACTUALLY ORGANIZED FALL JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS MAINTAINING AND BEING TAKEN CARE OF.
WE WOULDN'T EXPECT SOMEONE WHO'S JUST RENTING IT FOR AN HOUR FOR FUN TO HAVE THE SAME OBLIGATIONS OF MOWING AND STRIPING AND DOING ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE WOULD FROM A MORE FORMAL USE OF THE FIELD.
AND IT MAY BE HELPFUL JUST IF I MAY, THE CITI HASN'T HAD TO TAKE CARE OF, OF BASEBALL FIELDS YET THAT MAYBE THERE IS SOME SORT OF,
[00:35:01]
YOU KNOW, MENTORSHIP PROGRAM OR SOME SORT OF PROFESSIONAL GROUP THAT COMES IN FOR MAYBE THE FIRST SIX MONTHS AND HELPS TRAIN THE STAFF AS TO HOW TO MAINTAIN IT AND THEN, YOU KNOW, GOES AWAY.BUT JUST FOR CONSIDERATION, JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PROVIDING REALLY GREAT LANDSCAPED.
I THINK WE'RE ALWAYS OPEN TO GETTING GOOD ADVICE ON HOW TO DO THINGS THAT WE HAVEN'T QUITE STEPPED INTO YET, SO ABSOLUTELY.
I WILL, I WILL ADD THAT ARON LOPEZ, WHO IS OUR OPERATIONS AD WORKED FOR FORT BEND COUNTY AND WAS INVOLVED IN THEIR FIELD MAINTENANCE.
SO HE DOES HAVE SOME, SOME HISTORY WITH WITH DOING THAT TYPE OF WORK.
IS THERE ANYTHING WE'RE MISSING? ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF? UM, OKAY.
WE DEFINITELY APPRECIATE IT AND THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME STEPPING INTO THIS, SO IF THERE IS FEEDBACK THAT ANY OF YOU HAVE FOR US, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE THAT TO US AS WE'RE DOING THE RENTAL.
WE MAY DO IT FOR ABOUT TWO OR THREE MONTHS, FIND OUT, OH THAT'S MAYBE NOT THE BEST WAY AND HAVE TO REORG AND DO THAT DIFFERENTLY.
BUT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE US THAT FEEDBACK AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO MAKE IT BETTER AND UNTIL WE GET AS CLOSE TO PERFECT AS WE CAN, I LOVE THAT.
THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING SAID LEARNING EXPERIENCE AND WE'LL, WE'LL ALL COME TOGETHER TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO BENEFIT PERFECT THE CITIZENS AND THE TEAMS AND MAKE IT REALLY FAIR FOR EVERYBODY.
TONS AND TONS AND TONS OF INTEREST OUT THERE.
SO I WOULD JUST SAY PLEASE, IF, IF THE CITY LAUNCHES ON A MONDAY AT 8:00 AM THE ABILITY TO RENT THE FIELDS OR WHATEVER MM-HMM
IF, IF IT CAN BE SHARED TO THE COMMUNITY, IF IT CAN BE SHARED WITH US.
UM, 'CAUSE I JUST KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPER INTERESTED, LIKE HOW CAN WE RENT THIS? THANK YOU.
UM, SO WHATEVER THAT LOOKS LIKE SOME, YOU KNOW, FORESHADOWING OF IT AND THE DATE AND PUBLICIZING THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.
WE DO HAVE KIND OF AN INTERNAL DATE ON WHEN WE ANTICIPATE TAKING THOSE RENTALS, BUT WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING TO MAKE SURE THAT COUNCIL DOES APPROVE EITHER THAT POLICY, AN AMENDED POLICY OR SOME SORT OF POLICY BEFORE WE OFFICIALLY OPEN IT UP.
BUT I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S KIND OF A POST A FEW DAYS BEFORE SO EVERYONE IS AWARE OF IT, UM, AND KIND OF HAS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO GET THOSE FIRST RESERVATIONS IN AND MAYBE IF THEY'D SEND IT TO US.
I BE HELPFUL THAT GET IT OUT THERE.
WE'D LOVE TO HAVE THE EXTRA EYES, EXTRA HANDS TO HELP ON THAT.
UM, DISCUSSIONS REGARDING RECOMMENDATIONS FROM ARTISTIC MURAL.
UM, BUT LET'S, LET'S BRING IT UP JUST SO IT'S MORE OFFICIAL DISCUSSION REGARDING THE RECOMMENDATION FOR RAMONA TO COMMISSION AN ARTISTIC MURAL OF THE CONCESSION STAND AND THE BALL FIELD.
HOW WOULD THAT PLAY OUT? UM, I'D LIKE TO, UM, UTILIZE, UH, FULL ARTS ALLIANCE AGAIN.
SHE'S GOT THE CONNECTION IN THE COMMUNITY WITH ALL THE ARTISTS AND THAT GIVES A, A, UM, NEUTRAL, UM, POINT FOR THE ART TO COME IN AND WE CAN LOOK AT IT AND SHE'S WHAT WE LIKE AND THEN SEND IT ON THE CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL.
IF THAT WORKS, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
MY ONLY HESITATION IS WE'VE STILL GOT PHASE THREE TO GO IN PRIMROSE AND I THINK THERE'S OTHER OPPORTUNITIES LIKE FOR THE, THE ENTIRE PARK.
I JUST WONDER IF WE PAUSE AND SEE THE PARK COMPLETED AND THEN GO BACK IN TO DO PIECES THAT MIGHT BE MORE COMPREHENSIVE OR LIKE THE SAME ARTIST DOES THE SAME ART.
I BY NO MEANS WANNA SLOW US, US DOWN, BUT I JUST, I DON'T WANT IT ENDING UP LOOKING LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE BASEBALL FIELDS ARE SEPARATE FROM THE, YOU KNOW, THERE MIGHT BE SOME ABILITY IF, IF WE DID THE WHOLE PARK TO HAVE THE SAME ARTISTS COME IN AND DO, WE DON'T REALLY WANT THE SAME A EVERYWHERE.
YOU WANT DIFFERENT ARTISTS DOING DIFFERENT PIECES OF ART AND THERE'S FOUR WALL OR THREE MAIN WALLS YOU CAN USE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YOU GOT THE FRONT PART WHERE THE CASSETTE, WHERE THE WINDOWS ARE AT, BUT THEN YOU GOT THE SIDES IN THE BACK.
YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH HAVE ALSO, WELL IF WE, I MEAN WE DIDN'T REALLY CHOOSE A THEME FOR THE ART BOXES, BUT WE COULD CHOOSE A THEME AND SHE COULD YEAH.
CAN SAY THIS IS OUR THEME, WHETHER IT BE NATURE OR BASEBALL OR WHATEVER.
WE DON'T WANT BASEBALL BECAUSE BASEBALL'S ONLY PART OF THE PARK, SO YOU DON'T REALLY WANT TO LIMIT IT TO BASEBALL AND YOU HAVE BASEBALL OR LIKE PAINTINGS TEXAS, LIKE TEXAS OR WHATEVER, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
CITY OF, CITY OF FULL OR SOME COOL STUFF LIKE THE REPRESENT.
MAYBE KIND OF DO YOU HAVE A BASIC OUTLINE OF WHAT OUR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE AND THEN LET THEM KIND OF WORK FROM THERE AND DO THEIR ARTISTIC YEAH.
I THINK WE CAN GET IT ROLLING NOW AND THEN JUST KIND OF SEE WHERE IT GOES.
WELL, AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY.
WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE LEARN FROM OUR PAST MISTAKES AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE IT OUTLINED OF EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR MM-HMM
AND WHAT THAT PERSON WOULD BE PAID OR OR ORGANIZATION WOULD BE PAID.
SO MAYBE THERE'S SOME TIE TO THIS SECOND PHASE OF
[00:40:01]
THE ART BOX PROJECT.WELL, THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING BEFORE.
AND, AND JUST TIE THAT TOGETHER.
WELL AND THE PAPERWORK IS NOW TDOT, WE DON'T NEED MORE APPROVAL FOR THE FUTURE BOXES AGAIN, DO WE? I DON'T THINK SO.
CITY COUNCIL'S APPROVED EVERYTHING.
WE DON'T NEED TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING FOR THE REST OF THE ART BOXES.
UM, I SPOKE TO EVANGELINE AND I, SHE WAS GOING TO TRY TO COME TODAY, BUT SHE'S A TEACHER SO SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET AWAY, BUT SHE WAS ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT IT TOO, SO ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT MIGHT JUST CAUSE A LITTLE BIT OF A DELAY, AND I WOULD RECOMMEND BEFORE WE ADVERTISE IT, IS JUST WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THE FUNDING FOR IT.
UH, WE DON'T HAVE FUNDING CURRENTLY IDENTIFIED FOR A MURAL ON THE CONCESSION STANDS OR RESTROOMS. UM, SO IF YOU COULD GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO JUST FIGURE OUT WHERE THAT COULD BE IN THE BUDGET.
AND THEN FOR THE ADDITIONAL ART BOXES TOO, UM, WE CAN STILL WORK ON SOME OF THE POLICY DOCUMENTS AND THANKFULLY WE HAD A GOOD, I'LL SAY GOOD.
UH, WE HAD A, UH, A LEARNING EXPERIENCE THE LAST TIME AS WAS MENTIONED.
SO I THINK WE'LL BE IN A BETTER PLACE BEFORE THAT.
BUT JUST TO, UH, HOPEFULLY AVOID ANY CONSTERNATION OR HEARTACHE AT THE END.
AGAIN, JUST LET US MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE FUNDING ALIGNED AND THEN WE CAN BRING THAT BACK WITH A SUGGESTION FOR YOU ALL.
LET'S GET THE BALL ROLLING ON THIS.
I THINK IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT.
I JUST WOULDN'T WANNA BE ADVERTISING OR ANYTHING UNTIL WE KNOW HOW WE PAY FOR IT.
THE ART TAKES A WHILE FOR THE ARTIST TO CREATE.
SO IT'S NOT AN OVERNIGHT THING, BUT WOULD THE CITY PREFER IT GOING UNDER A CITY BUDGET OR WOULD YOU CONSIDER HAVING SPONSORS THAT COULD HAVE SOME SORT OF LITTLE PLAQUE ON IT THAT WOULD SPONSOR IT FOR THE CONCESSION STAND? I THINK A SPONSORSHIP COULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY.
I THINK YOU'RE, UH, MAYBE TALKING ABOUT THAT LATER.
I COULD ACTUALLY KIND OF LEAD.
IF YOU WANNA GO INTO THAT AS FAR AS THE, FOR THE CONCESSIONS, NOT THE ART BOXES, RIGHT? YES.
I WAS LIKE, WE CAN PUT PLAQUES ON THOSE TOO.
YES, WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT IN THE NEXT ONE, BUT I, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT OPTION TO EXPLORE.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAD IN MIND FOR THE CONCESSION STAND WAS HAVING, UM, SO WE'VE, SO WE'VE BROKEN DOWN TO ITEMS THAT WE FELT THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR A NAME PLATE TO BE, UH, YOU KNOW, SPONSORED.
UH, AND THEN OUTSIDE OF THOSE JUST A GENERAL SILVER, GOLD AND PLATINUM GENERAL DONATIONS.
AND WHAT WE THOUGHT WE COULD DO IS, IS HAVE A BOARD WITH THOSE COMP PEOPLE OR COMPANY'S NAMES AND, UH, CONCESSION STAND SEEMS LIKE A GOOD PLACE TO POSSIBLY PUT THAT.
I MEAN, LIKE YOU SAID, THERE'S THREE, THERE'S THREE WALLS, SO IT, IT WOULDN'T BE, I MEAN, WE COULD STILL HAVE THE MURAL ON.
WOULD YOU SEND THAT TO US PLEASE? SURE.
YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
IT'S JUST A WAY TO GET THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED.
LIKE THAT'S THE 100% THE GOAL IS TO GET THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED AND SO COOL.
[Business – E]
MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT FOR PARKS AND RECREATION BUDGET.UM, YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY ABOUT THIS? EVERY, LIKE, IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF, THERE'S ANOTHER EXPENSE AND I'M SURE THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
SO, UM, IF, IF SHE CAN START GIVING US A, A REPORT OF THE EXPENSES EVERY MONTH SO THAT EVERY MONTH I DON'T HAVE TO SAY WHAT IS THAT EXPENSE? CAN WE GET IT? CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN NEXT MONTH? I DO.
THAT WOULD BE BEST IF MOVING FORWARD WE CAN DO THAT MORE DETAIL.
I MEAN, IF THERE'S EXPENSES WE WOULD LIKE TO, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE DETAIL BEHIND THE EXPENSE EXCEPT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN $1.7 MILLION, I'M SURE THERE'S A GREAT, I'M SURE WE SPENT THAT MONEY WISELY.
IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, PART OF OUR JOB ON THIS BOARD IS TO OVERSEE, MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, SO THAT, THAT SHOULD BE, THAT SHOULD BE PHASE TWO CONSTRUCTION AND PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT OF PHASE THREE DESIGN AS WELL.
UM, I'M SURE THAT THAT'S WHAT THAT IS.
I THINK THAT IT WOULD JUST BE GOOD TO HAVE THE DETAIL BEHIND IT FOR RECORD.
JUST BREAK IT DOWN A LITTLE AND MM-HMM
SHE SHOULD BE ABLE TO JUST CLICK THIS, THAT, THAT BUTTON RIGHT THERE.
YEAH, WE ALWAYS WANNA KNOW WHERE THE MONEY'S GOING AND, UH, THAT'S A BIG PART OF IT.
[Business – F]
ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST.WELL, EAGLE LANDING GRAND OPENING TOMORROW.
WHAT ABOUT ANY GRANTS? HAVE WE HAD ANY OF THOSE GRANTS APPROVED? I KNOW WE, THAT KIND OF POPS UP FROM TIME TO TIME THAT THERE WERE SOME GRANTS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED FOR, DID WE GET THOSE? DID WE NOT? THERE ARE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE PENDING, I BELIEVE, UM, EARLY DECEMBER WE FIND OUT.
FOR, UH, TRASH CANS, BENCHES, THINGS LIKE THAT.
IS WHAT, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO? GRANTS ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LIKE, WELL, WE JUST, WE'VE
[00:45:01]
BROUGHT UP THAT THE GRANT WRITER WAS LOOKING INTO SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRIMROSE IN WHICH WE HAVE APPLIED FOR TO JUST SAVE SOME DOLLARS HERE AND THERE.AND I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME OF THOSE GRANTS THAT WE APPLIED FOR WERE IF WE WERE, HAVE THEY BEEN APPROVED 'EM OR NOT? YEAH.
THERE'S BEEN SOME GRANTS THAT THE CITY'S GONE AFTER.
SO CAN WE GET AN UPDATE ON THAT, ON WHICH ONES HAVE BEEN APPROVED AND WHICH ONES HAVE BEEN DENIED MAYBE? SURE THING.
I'LL, I'LL CHECK WITH OUR GRANT WRITER.
UM, AND THEN ALSO JUST KEEPING IN MIND THAT IF LITTLE LEAGUE DOES GET UP AND RUNNING, THERE'S ALSO A WHOLE WORLD OF GRANTS THAT OPEN UP FOR THAT.
THAT WE POTENTIALLY, UM, COULD APPLY FOR.
DID WE DISCUSS, ARE WE, UH, COMMUNITY INTEREST? WE, WE
[Business – D (Part 2 of 2)]
MIGHT NEED TO STEP BACK TO ITEM THREE.THREE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE, UM, SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE THAT WE YEAH.
WE HAVE LIKE PRELIMINARY, I SAW SOMETHING INFORMATION FOR THAT.
WHERE ARE WE GOING ON THE AGENDA? YOU WANTED TO BACK, BACK TO PRIMROSE TO, AND THE PARK DEVELOPMENT.
WE FIGURED THAT MIGHT BE THE ONLY PLACE THAT IT MIGHT FIT
SO, UM, LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.
SO WE, DO YOU WANT TO, DO YOU WANNA PUT IT ON THE SCREENS? I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN, BUT WE CAN TRY.
WE CAN JUST EMAIL IT TO YOU LATER.
HAS IT BEEN, UH, SET IN STONE KIND OF HOW WE'RE DOING IT? OR YOU STILL PROCESS? NO, THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE WANNA TALK ABOUT.
YEAH, SO WE, WE BASICALLY HAVE KIND OF TWO OPTIONS THAT WE'RE PRESENTING TO YOU GUYS.
UM, SO WE'VE, WE'VE GOTTEN ALL 40.
SEE IF YOU CAN PUT YOUR COMPUTER UP HERE AND SEE IF WE CAN GET TO PLUG.
DO I HAVE, DO I HAVE TO CALL IT? BUT, SO, YEP.
UH, YOU KNOW, SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE, UH, PRIMROSE, AT WHAT POINT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD OPEN IT UP TO THE, TO THE PUBLIC TO START ASKING FOR HELP? I MEAN, SHOULD, SHOULD IT BE ONCE WE GET THE OFFICIAL LEAGUE'S COMING, WE GOT IT KIND OF DEAL? OR SHOULD WE START TRYING TO GET SOME INTEREST SOONER? CAN YOU, UH, TEXT IT AND SEE THOUGH? UM, I THINK THE INTENT HERE IS TO GET YOUR OPINION ON ONE OF THE TWO OPTIONS OF THE, THE WAY WE'VE SET UP THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM.
UM, AND TO ADD INPUT, I THINK ONCE WE GET IT NAILED DOWN IS HOW WE'RE GONNA MOVE FORWARD.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND PUT THE PACKET TOGETHER AND WE'LL, WE'LL GET IT TO Y'ALL TO WE'LL, WE'LL PUSH START PUSHING IT OUT.
AND THAT, I'M, I'M WITH THAT A HUNDRED PERCENT.
I WAS REFERRING TO LIKE, UM, GETTING THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT FOR THE POSITIONS OF LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL, LIKE THAT KIND OF STUFF.
WHEN ARE WE GONNA SAY, HEY GUYS, ANNOUNCE TO EVERYBODY ELSE AND START GETTING A FEELERS FOR WHO'S HELPING.
AND SHOULD WE DO THAT AFTER WE GET THE ACTUAL OFFICIAL BLESSING FROM LITTLE LEAGUE? LIKE, HEY, YOU'VE BEEN APPROVED AND THEN START TRYING TO TAKE, FILL THE POSITIONS OR SHOULD WE LET EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO NOW? WELL, WE WE'RE GOING GET NOT NOT THE SPONSORSHIP, RIGHT.
BECAUSE THE GUY IS SAYING, WE, I'M GONNA GIVE YOU APPROVAL.
THAT'S, HE'S SAYING HE HAS TO GET THE BOARD TO AGREE.
HE'S THE PRESIDENT AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE HOLDING THE MEETING THIS WEEKEND.
IT'S NOT SET, JUST DON'T KNOW.
AFTER THIS WEEKEND THOUGH, WE'LL HAVE A BETTER YEAH.
AND WORST CASE SCENARIO, WE JUST HAVE TO DISSOLVE THE BOARD.
SO, I MEAN, YOU COULD GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED THAT WAY YOU COULD OKAY.
I MEAN, MY PERSONAL OPINION GET ENOUGH LEAD TIME TO GET IT ALL TOGETHER.
HE SEEMS TO THINK WE COULD HAVE EVERYTHING DONE, BUT FOR SPRING HE'S LIKE, THERE'S NO WAY GUY SEEMS VERY, NO.
YEAH, HE WAS, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HAVE PARTICIPANTS SIGN UP AND, UH, IN UNIFORMS AND SCHEDULING.
THERE'S, I MEAN I APPRECIATE YOUR, I APPRECIATE YOUR GUSTO, BUT THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN BE UP AND READY FOR SPRING, I THINK.
I DON'T THINK SO, UH, AS WELL.
BUT HE'S BEEN THE PRESIDENT FOR EIGHT YEARS AND HE'S LIKE, YEAH, I'LL HELP YOU.
I'LL GIVE YOU ALL THE, I'LL GIVE YOU ALL THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO ALL HOW TO DO EVERYTHING.
HE HAS A ROBUST PROGRAM, SO HE'S NOT, HE'S BEEN DOING IT FOR KATIE.
AMERICAN'S GOT A HIGH, WELL THEY'RE HUGE.
REALLY THINK THAT'S MASTER PLAN COMMUNITIES ON THE NORTH SIDE.
THE FACT HE'S WANTING TO GIVE US MORE AREAS OUT HERE THAN WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.
WE'RE LIKE, WHAT THE JUST THING I WOULD SAY WITH SPRING IS WE'RE TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR KIDS, RIGHT? AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET KIDS CLOSER TO HOME, PLAYING WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS IN A HOMETOWN FIELD ENVIRONMENT, KIDS HAVE ALREADY STARTED SIGNING UP FOR SPRING BALL.
SO IF WE START TARGET SPRING BALL, THEN WE'RE PUTTING OUR PARENTS AND KIDS IN THE ORGANIZATIONS IN AN AWKWARD SITUATION OF DO THEY PULL THEIR MEMBERSHIP HERE TO GO THERE.
[00:50:01]
I MEAN, I HONESTLY THINK FOLKS HAVE ALREADY STARTED SIGNING UP FOR SPRING BALL AND WE'RE NOT TRYING TO MAKE ANY ENEMIES BY DOING THIS.WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO RIGHT BY KIDS.
SO I THINK TARGETING FOR FALL AND SPRING OF 27 PUTS US IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE.
27 ALSO, WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS LIKE A YEAR 20 TEAMS, LIKE A KATIE LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM FOR A WHILE.
THEY HAVE THESE BONDS FOR, THEY REALLY HAVE THIS TEAM KIND OF SET SITUATION.
AND TO COME IN THIS SPRING AND BE LIKE, NOPE, WE'RE DOING THIS NOW YOU ONLY GET SOME OF THESE KIDS.
IT, IT, IT, IT MIGHT THROW SOME PEOPLE.
THAT FALL, FALL 2026 I THINK WOULD BE THE WAY, GET REAL ATTACHED TO THE GYM BECAUSE I'VE ALREADY HAD NEIGHBORS ASK ME LIKE, HEY, I'M GETTING READY TO SIGN UP, IS RE LITERALLY GONNA BE UP AND RUNNING.
AND I'M LIKE, IT'S WAY, IT'S WAY TOO EARLY TO EVEN TELL YOU.
WE, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING ESTABLISHED.
IT'S IN, YOU KNOW, CONVERSATIONS.
BUT I THINK IF WE CAN GET SOME KIDS OUT THERE PLAYING YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? MAYBE LIKE, MAYBE, MAYBE EVEN TEST OUT THE SITUATIONS BY PARTNERING WITH KATIE LITTLE LEAGUE AND HAVING THEM HAVE SOME GAMES OVER AT PRIMROSE.
LIKE IS LIKE, IS THAT A GOOD IDEA? LIKE WOULD THAT LIKE GIVE THE, GIVE IT A SITUATION WHERE WE COULD KIND OF TEST IT OUT? SO WHAT WE WE'RE BRAINSTORMING WITH, WITH ME AND RYAN, WHICH IS THE PRESIDENT, IT WOULD BE IF WE DID DO, IF HE'S LIKE, YOU CAN DO SPRING, JUST DO FOUR WHO UH, FOUR TO SEVEN YEAR OLDS.
SO LIKE THE LITTLE, LIKE THE LITTLE GUYS, FOUR TO SEVEN.
THAT WAY WE'RE NOT OVERWHELMED AND KIND OF STUMBLE THROUGH IT A LITTLE BIT.
AND UH, THEY DON'T HAVE A TEAM DEVELOPED YET.
THEY DON'T HAVE A TEAM DEVELOPED AT ALL.
AND THOSE KIDS CAN PLAY WHEREVER THEY WANT.
AND HE SPECIFICALLY SAID, THAT'S NOT GONNA MOVE THE NEEDLE.
THEY HAVE KATY AMERICAN AND KATY NATIONAL AND THERE'S MASTERMIND COMMUNITIES.
THEY'RE GOING UP THERE ALL THE WAY TO ELLISON.
HE'S LIKE, WE ARE NOT GONNA BE HURTING AT ALL.
AND I WAS LIKE, OKAY, COME ON.
YOU KNOW, BUT, BUT I UNDERSTAND SPRING FALL, WELL LET'S JUST GET APPROVED FIRST AND THEN WE CAN FIGURE THAT OUT.
ONE THING TO CONSIDER IS SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
SO IF YOU'RE IN A SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT IS IN THE BOUNDARY, YOU HAVE A CHOICE YOU CAN GO TO, EITHER, EITHER OR.
SO IF YOU'RE, YEAH, IF A PORTION OF LAMAR SCHOOL DISTRICT IS IN THE SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE, IF YOU'RE IN LAMAR SCHOOL DISTRICT, THEN YOU CAN CHOOSE, EVEN IF YOU'RE IN THE BRAZOS DISTRICT, YOU CAN CHOOSE EITHER ONE AND WHEN YOU'RE AGE FOUR TO SEVEN, EVEN NOT IN SCHOOL DISTRICT FOUR TO SEVEN, THEY CAN MAKE AN ADDENDUM TO GO WHEREVER THEY WANT AT THAT AGE TOO.
SO IT WOULD BE JUST A, UH, GET YOUR FEET WET KIND OF DEAL.
BUT I THINK FIRST THINGS FIRST, WE NEED TO GET THE UM, A HUNDRED PERCENT COMMITMENT FROM UH, FROM WILLIAMSPORT.
WELL THEY GET UP AND READY TO TALK ABOUT THE UH, SPONSORSHIPS.
SO JUST, UM, I THINK IN THE NEXT MONTH THERE IS A LOT OF JUST CONVERSATION WITH UM, LITTLE LEAGUE ABOUT SETTING THIS UP.
AND I THINK TARGETING DECEMBER TO HAVE A COMMUNITY MEETING WOULD BE GREAT IN MY OPINION.
I FEEL LIKE RIGHT NOW IF WE HAVE A COMMUNITY MEETING, WE'VE STILL GOT A LOT OF WHAT IFS THAT ARE GOING ON AND NO ANSWERS.
UM, AND IT WOULD GIVE US A MONTH TO HELP PROMOTE THAT AND ANYBODY WHO'S INTERESTED COULD THEN ATTEND WHATEVER MEETING WE HAVE IN EARLY DECEMBER.
THAT'S JUST MY 2 CENTS FOR WHAT IT'S YEAH, MID-DECEMBER.
WELL I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON, YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE GOTTA GET THE, UH, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THIS SHEET.
UM, THERE'S A SECOND ITEM ON, HERE'S CONCESSION BACKWARDS FOUR 10 AND THEN YEAH, IF, IF I COULD EXPLAIN KIND OF THE LAYOUT FOR IT AND THEN WE CAN GO THROUGH INDIVIDUALS ON, BUT THEN FURTHER DOWN.
ALRIGHT, YOU WANNA GO AHEAD AND YEAH, WALK US THROUGH.
SO THE WAY WE KIND OF, UH, INITIALLY PUT THIS TOGETHER FOR Y'ALL IS THERE'S SOME ITEMS THAT WE KNOW THAT ARE BIGGER TICKET ITEMS THAT COULD BE USED AS PROMOTION FOR HOWEVER, WE'RE JUST GONNA BE DONATING FOR THOSE ITEMS. SO FOR INSTANCE, THE BATTING CAGES, CONCESSION STANDS, THE, THE FIELD NAMING RIGHTS, THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WE REALLY IDENTIFIED YOU.
WHEN SOMEONE DONATES, SINCE IT'S A LARGER TICKET ITEM, WE CAN PUT A NAME PLATE OR JUST RECOGNIZE THEM FOR GIVING THAT LARGE OF A DONATION.
BUT WE ALSO FEEL LIKE WE WANNA HAVE OPPORTUNITY IF ONE OR TWO OR MAYBE THREE GROUPS WANNA COME TOGETHER TO PUT POOL THEIR MONEY TOGETHER, THEY COULD DO THAT AND THERE'D BE ENOUGH SPACE TO KIND OF RECOGNIZE THOSE PEOPLE ON THOSE ITEMS. SO THAT'S HOW WE KIND OF DID THOSE FIRST ONES.
WE LAID THEM OUT FOR MULTIPLE PARKS JUST SO THAT YOU GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THIS ENTIRE CATALOG IS GONNA LOOK LIKE FOR THE ENTIRE CITY OF SHORE.
AND WHEN YOU SEE GENERAL SPONSORSHIP UNDERNEATH THAT, THEN WE WOULD LOOK, BE LOOKING AT ITEMS THAT MAYBE YOU DON'T GET A NAMEPLATE FOR IT, BUT MAYBE A RECOGNITION SOMEWHERE.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BRICKS, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HAVING A PLACARD SOMEWHERE THAT WOULD IDENTIFY, BUT IT'S NOT GONNA BE TIED DOWN TO A SPECIFIC ITEM.
SO WE WANT TO KIND OF GIVE THOSE TWO UH, OPTIONS FOR SOME THAT MAYBE DON'T HAVE THE SAME FUNDS OR MEANS TO BE ABLE TO DO A LARGE DONATION BUT CAN STILL CONTRIBUTE TO A PARK THAT THEY HAVE A PASSION FOR AND WANT TO BE, UM, RECOGNIZED FOR IT.
SO THAT'S KINDA HOW, THIS IS OUR INITIAL RUNDOWN FOR THAT.
BUT DEFINITELY OPEN FOR FEEDBACK OR ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS ON DIFFERENT ITEMS. UM, SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE DID IT.
WE GAVE A UNIQUE IDENTIFIER THAT WILL BE RECOGNIZED WITHIN THAT PACKAGE.
[00:55:01]
THEN DESCRIPTION AND JUST GIVING YOU A HEADS UP THAT WE ARE ENGINEERS AND CONSTRUCTION PEOPLE AND WE DON'T DO REALLY GOOD WORDSMITHING OR IMAGESSO WE'RE WAITING FOR THE PEOPLE THAT DO TO PUT THAT MAGAZINE TOGETHER FOR YOU OR CATALOG.
BUT THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT OF JUST THE ITEMS AND WHAT THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT LOOKS LIKE.
CAN WE SHARE THIS OR IS THIS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS? I WOULD DEFINITELY REMAIN RECOMMEND THAT THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND THEN WE SHARE THAT CATALOG WHEN IT'S FINALIZED.
SO WHEN IT SAYS LIKE A NAME PLATE SPONSORSHIP MM-HMM
IT SAYS CONCESSION STANDS $410,000.
SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN EXACTLY? WE JUST, I THINK WE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO OVER NAMEPLATE, LIKE HAVE A NAMEPLATE FOR EVERY SINGLE THING IN THE PARK.
FOR EVERY, YEAH, IT WOULD BE EVERYWHERE.
RIGHT? BUT WHAT WOULD THE COST BE TO GET A NAME PLATE FOR THE CONCESSION STAND? SO WE KIND OF BROKE THAT DOWN AFTER THE TOTAL.
SO WE BROKE IT UP BY THIRDS HALF OR UM, FULL SPONSORSHIP.
AND THAT WOULD BE KIND OF THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT.
SO SOMEBODY WOULD PAY $135,000 OR HAVE THE NAME, A NAME PLATE ON THE CONCESSION STAND.
THAT'S HOW THIS THREE PEOPLE OR THREE PEOPLE, CORRECT? MM-HMM
DIDN'T WE SAY ON THE CONCESSION THAT THAT WAS GONNA BE THE PLACE THAT WE WERE PREDOMINANTLY SHOWCASING SOME OF THOSE GENERAL SPONSORSHIP NAMES? NAMES, AND, AND WE PITCHED DOWN A FEW DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
AND LIKE I SAID, THIS IS JUST A RUNDOWN OF ALL THE OPTIONS AND THEN WE CAN NARROW IT DOWN, NARROW DOWN.
WE WANNA GIVE Y'ALL A FULL LIST AND THEN WE CAN KIND OF REDUCE IT OR INCREASE ONTO IT.
I THINK WHAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL FOR DECEMBER, AT LEAST FOR ME, IS LIKE SOME OF THESE THINGS LIKE BATTING CAGES, THERE'S TWO.
SO HOW MANY BAYS ARE IN THE BATTING CAGES? WHAT DOES THAT REALLY LOOK LIKE? AND I KNOW YOU SAID THE PICTURE PART ISN'T DONE YET.
BUT I THINK TO UNDERSTAND LIKE GAZEBO, I'M ASSUMING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PHASE THREE FOR THAT OR IS THEY'RE A GAZEBO IN PHASE TWO.
AND THEN LIKE AMPHITHEATER FOR ME, I'M SEEING $14,000 FOR AN AMPHITHEATER THAT'S A REALLY COST EFFECTIVE AMPHITHEATER.
I'M KIND OF CONFUSED ABOUT FOR THE NAMING.
YEAH, AND I THINK WE, I MAYBE I DIDN'T FOR A THREE YEAR, UH, TERM FOR UNDERSTOOD.
SO I THINK THERE'S IT, IT MIGHT, I MEAN I DON'T, WE'RE KIND OF UP AGAINST TIME RIGHT NOW.
I THINK THIS IS GREAT PROGRESS FROM WHERE WE WERE BEFORE, BUT I THINK WE GOTTA DIVE INTO THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE SURE.
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT EACH OF THESE THINGS KIND OF ARE AND WHAT THAT MEANS.
LIKE ON A NICE LITTLE MAP WITH LIKE PHOTOS AND ARROWS.
'CAUSE I'M PHOTO ABSOLUTELY NOT LINE ITEM ORIENTED
AND WE CAN DEFINITELY PROVIDE THAT.
THIS WAS JUST THAT FIRST KIND OF STAB TO GIVE Y'ALL A LIST OUT OF THE ITEMS THAT WE IDENTIFIED.
SO WE'LL MAKE SOME NOTES AND THEN CIRCLE BACK AND KIND OF GET SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ON PRICING AND STUFF.
I THINK SOME OF THESE ARE GONNA BE JUST NOT BE, UM, I DON'T THINK SOME OF 'EM NOT GONNA BE REALISTIC.
LIKE WHO'S GONNA PAY 30,000 MAIN POINT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE, BUT WE WOULDN'T GIVE Y'ALL A FULL LIST.
IF WE'VE GOT OUR, IF WE'VE GOT SPONSORSHIPS, IF WE'VE GOT PLACARDS, I TO YOUR POINT, DON'T WANNA WALK INTO PRIMROSES AND BE LIKE OVERSTIMULATED WITH ALL THIS MARKETING THAT'S JUST EVERYWHERE.
THAT'S KIND OF NOT, THAT'S NOT THE INTENT, RIGHT? IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE PAID FOR THAT WAY.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO GIVE YOU, YOU KNOW, MULTIPLE OPTIONS.
YOU CAN SPONSOR THIS FOR THIS OR THERE IS A, WE WROTE IT A SILVER, GOLD, AND PLATINUM SPONSORS AT THE BOTTOM WHERE MM-HMM
YOU WOULD GET YOUR NAME ON A, A PLAQUE ON THE BUILD, LIKE A LARGER PLAQUE ON THE BUILDING.
OR WE COULD DO IT AS A BRICK WHERE YOU PUT, WE'VE GOT IT SET OUT IN THE PARK SOMEWHERE FOR A, A SILVER SPONSOR BRICK OVER HERE, GOLD SPONSOR BRICK OVER HERE, PLATINUM SPONSOR BRICK OVER HERE.
AND THOSE DOLLARS JUST GO TOWARDS THESE ITEMS IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T JUST WANT TO OUTRIGHT PURCHASE 'EM.
SO WE WANTED, WE WANTED TO TAKE SOME OF THE BIGGER, BIGGER ITEMS THAT SOMEONE WHO WANTED TO DONATE A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD GET THEIR NAME PUT ON SAYING, I DONATED THE CONCESSION STANDARD, I DONATED THIS, BUT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE PAID FOR.
THAT WAY IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO DO A $20,000 DONATION, WE CAN PUT THEIR NAME ON SOMETHING ELSE OR COME UP, COME UP WITH ANOTHER WAY OF MEMORIALIZING THAT SOMEWHERE IN THE, THE COUNTRY IN THE PARK.
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR.
SO THE, THE COST TO BUILD WAS $410,000.
AND SO YOU'RE THAT'S WE'RE JUST TRYING TO RECOUP THE COST OF IT AND BREAK IT ALL OUT.
THAT'S WHERE THAT NUMBER ORIGINATED FROM? THAT'S CORRECT.
I, I I SEE WHAT YEAH, BATING CAGES 26 4, THAT'S WHERE THE CONCRETE, THE NETS AND EVERYTHING AND ALL THE POLES AND EVERYTHING OUT.
AND WHENEVER IS, UH, THE SPONSORSHIP, WHEN IT SAYS IT'S TWO FOR EACH, THE SPONSORSHIP WAS FOR HOW LONG? FOR, FOR THE NAMING RIGHTS FOR EACH ITEM IS THREE YEARS, NO OR NO? WHAT IS IT FOR? LIKE THE BATTING CAGES IS LIKE, SO THE BATTING CAGES, WE DIDN'T DO LIKE A SPECIFIC TIMEFRAME.
WE ONLY DID THE NAMING RIGHTS FOR UM, THE FIELDS.
[01:00:01]
I BELIEVE THE, I THINK THAT WAS IT JUST THOSE THREE IS NAMING RIGHTS SPECIFICALLY.LIKE YOU GET TO NAME THE FIELD.
BUT YOU SAID THREE YEARS AND THAT'S UP TO, THAT'S FOR A THREE YEAR TERM.
SO WE'D GO INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH WHOEVER THAT DONATING HEB AND HEB WOULD COME AND SAY THREE YEARS.
BECAUSE WE DON'T WANNA CHANGE THE NAME EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
AND I WOULD JUST RECOMMEND SOME OF THESE NUMBERS.
CAN WE JUST ROUND THEM? I MEAN LIKE 14,400.
CAN WE JUST SAY 14 FIVE? I MEAN WE COULD, YEAH.
I MEAN I THINK JUST MAKING IT AS SIMPLISTIC TO UNDERSTAND AND DIGEST AS POSSIBLE, BUT I THINK IT'S A REALLY GREAT START.
IF THERE'S ANY MORE INFO ON THIS PACKET THAT YOU COULD SEND TO US MM-HMM.
SO THAT FOR THE DECEMBER MEETING, THEN WE CAN HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION AND KIND OF DIVE INTO ANY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE HAVE FOR Y'ALL.
AND THEN THAT WAY THAT CAN HELP YOU KIND OF FINALIZE IT, I WOULD ASSUME.
AND THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT ALREADY.
LIKE I SAID, WE JUST NEED TO GET A FIRST STAB OF SOME OF THESE.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING GLARING THAT MAY BE MISSING THAT WE COULD TAKE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC, THEN WE WANT TO DO THAT.
CHALLENGE AMPHI THEATER, LIKE THE RACKS AT EAGLE LANDING.
ARE THESE COMMERCIAL BIKE RACKS OR ARE THESE MORE ARTISTS MADE BIKE RACKS LIKE WE WERE WANTING TO DO SO WE LEFT ENOUGH BUDGET IN THOSE TO BE EITHER ONE.
UM, I KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOME THAT WERE KIND OF CALLED OUT, BUT I ALSO KNOW BIKE RACKS ARE ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE VERY EASILY MOVED INTO AN ARTISTIC LEVEL.
SO WE KIND OF GAVE ENOUGH CUSHION WITHIN THAT DONATION TO DO WHICHEVER WAY Y'ALL RECOMMENDED OR DESIRE.
WELL WE, THE, THE ALLIGATOR THAT'S GOT MOVED TO THE IRENE STERN RIGHT NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S STAYING THERE OR IF IT'S GONNA GO BACK TO PRIMROSE OR WE HAVEN'T DECIDED.
WE'RE KIND OF SCARED IT'S GONNA BREAK.
WE MOVE IT AGAIN, BUT WE'RE GONNA, WELL AGAIN, I MEAN THE, IF WE CAN MAKE IT AS THE LEAST COMMERCIAL LOOKING AS POSSIBLE AND NOT LOOK LIKE EVERY SINGLE OTHER PARK AND KEEP THE BIKE RACKS ARE JUST MADE AND KEEP ARTWORK IN THERE AND KEEP SOME NATURE AND NOT CONCRETE OVER EVERYTHING, UM, YOU KNOW, AND BE DIFFERENT.
LET'S HAVE A PARK THAT STANDS OUT, RACK OUT AND IS DIFFERENT AND DOESN'T LOOK LIKE EVERY OTHER CITY PARK YOU GO TO.
AND BIKE RACKS ARE DEFINITELY A, UH, HAVE KIND OF EVOLVED I THINK IN THE PAST 10 YEARS TO BECOME A LOT MORE ARTISTIC.
AND I THINK WE HAVE, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THERE.
WE NEED TO FIND A SPONSORSHIP AND THEN WE CAN DEFINITELY START DISCUSSING WHAT THAT DESIGN WOULD LOOK LIKE AND TO BE CONDUCIVE WITH THE ENTIRE LOOK OF THE PARK.
CAN WE, RELATIVE TO THIS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING, JUST TO HAVE AN UPDATE ON PRIMROSE PHASE TWO, THE THINGS THAT AREN'T THERE YET, WHAT IS PLANNED ON GOING THERE OR WHAT IS YET TO BE COMPLETED? WE WENT AND WALKED AND IT WAS WONDERFUL EYEOPENING MM-HMM
BUT I'M, I'M HAVING AN ISSUE UNDERSTANDING SOME OF THE DESIGN INTENT OF THE PIECES THAT ARE STILL LEFT AND SURE.
RAMONA'S POINT I THINK WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF HEY, THIS MIGHT BE A GREAT AREA TO ADD SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
UM, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT'S STILL LEFT OF PHASE TWO, WHAT'S TO BE DECIDED, WHAT'S BEEN PURCHASED, WHAT'S NOT.
SO MAYBE JUST A DESIGN UPDATE OF WHERE WE ARE IN CONSTRUCTION AND WHAT STILL NEEDS TO GET DONE WOULD HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT IS.
AND THEN WE CAN ALSO TALK ABOUT THE SPONSORSHIPS AT PRIMROSE ONCE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THOSE PIECES ARE.
THEN WE CAN GIVE FURTHER FEEDBACK IN DECEMBER ON THE SPONSORSHIP LEVELS OF THOSE THINGS.
UM, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I'M GONNA HAVE IS LIKE SOME OF THE THINGS LIKE THE PORTABLE BASEBALL MOUSES MM-HMM
WHAT, IS THERE LIKE A CATALOG OR LIST OR HAS THAT ALREADY BEEN PREPURCHASED OR IS THAT ALREADY FINALIZED? BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT SOME OF THIS STUFF SAYS $5,400 MM-HMM
FOR ONE MOUND AND THEN IN FOUR OF 'EM ARE TOTALS UP TO 21,600.
SO WE WENT OFF OF, UH, WE FOUND DIFFERENT, WE DID SOME MARKET RESEARCH ON EACH ONE OF THOSE ITEMS. UM, BUT WE TOOK A STAB ON SOME OF THOSE THINGS BECAUSE EVERY LEAGUE KIND OF USES A SPECIFIC THAT THEY LIKE.
AND I'VE SEEN SOME SUPER HEAVY ONES.
I'VE SEEN SOME WITH THAT HAVE WHEELS ON IT.
THERE'S A VARIETY, SO WE WANTED TO KIND OF SHOOT FOR THE MIDDLE AND KIND OF WE CAN ADJUST FROM THERE.
BUT LIKE I SAID, SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE VERY PREFERENCE ORIENTED, UH, TO THE LEAGUE THAT'S KIND OF OCCUPYING AND USING THAT FIELD.
WERE WE BE ALLOWED TO HAVE SOME FEEDBACK ON THAT? ABSOLUTELY.
BECAUSE SO SOME OF THESE CAN GET PRICEY WHEN YOU'RE LIKE HIGH SCHOOL, 200 POUNDS COMING DOWN OFF OF A MOUND VERSUS 110 POUND KID.
'CAUSE 'CAUSE SO THAT, THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WE CAN KIND OF TRIM DOWN ON SOME OF THOSE THINGS.
AND SO I JUST WANNA SAY IF WE'RE FLEXIBLE ON, ON SOME OF THAT, IF YOU FIND ONE THAT Y'ALL, I MEAN THINK IT IS KIND OF MIDDLE OF THE ROAD 'CAUSE THEY'VE ALSO SEEN SOME THAT START WARPING
SO WE DON'T WANNA GO VERY BOTTOM OF THE BARREL.
QUALITY STUFF THAT'S BEEN PROVEN AND TESTED ON, YOU KNOW, THE SLICK ORGANIZATIONS AND THIS IS THE FEEDBACK THAT WE'RE KIND OF ASKING FROM Y'ALL.
UM, I, I CAN DO THAT KIND OF STUFF ON THOSE.
'CAUSE YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS
[01:05:01]
HAVE DIFFERENT HEIGHTS, GRADES, HEIGHTS.THE, THE OLDER YOU GET, THE HIGHER THE, THE MOUND WILL BE.
AND YOU ALSO WANT TO CONSIDER STRIDE LENGTH AND ALL THAT, SO MM-HMM
I MEAN, I TEND TO GO BETTER QUALITY ON THOSE AS OPPOSED TO SHORTER, LOWER QUALITY.
I, I HAVEN'T RESEARCHED THE COST, SO IT DID SEEM A LITTLE HIGH, BUT NO, THAT'S A GOOD POINT THOUGH.
YOU'RE, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
UM, IT MAY BE SMART TO GET SURE BECAUSE WE START GETTING THE 12 YEAR OLDS IS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER, YOU KNOW, TOO HIGH, TOO LOWER.
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WILL HAVE IT, IT'LL PROBABLY MOSTLY BE, YOU KNOW, LITTLE GUYS OUT THERE.
BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A, OUR LITTLE, OUR CHARGERS TEAM HAS A MOUND THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU ADEQUATE STRIDE LENGTH AND IT'S UM, THEY KIND OF DROP OFF OF IT AND IT'S NOT REALLY WORKABLE.
YOU KNOW, AND THAT ITEM IS ALSO ON THE GENERAL DONATION.
SO THERE'S SOME WIGGLE ROOM ON KIND OF WHERE WE GO WITH IT.
IT'S JUST AN ITEM THAT WE WANT TO INCLUDE AS BEING PART OF THE CATALOG.
SO, SO THAT'S STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS ON THAT PART TOO, SO THAT'S COOL.
SO WE CAN, WE CAN START TO RESEARCH SOME OF THAT STUFF.
'CAUSE WE DON'T WANT BEAUTIFUL FACILITY AND THEN SUBPAR STUFF THAT'S AGREED.
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR IN LIFE, SO, OKAY.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY, THIS IS REALLY, REALLY COOL AND UH, AND VERY, VERY HELPFUL.
CAN WE GO BACK, IF WE CAN JUST TAKE A SECOND TO TALK ABOUT THE GRANTS AND DONATIONS AGAIN.
UM, WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE AND IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET SOME LACROSSE SCHOOLS DONATED OUT TO EAGLE LANDING SO THAT WAY THEY CAN PLAY LACROSSE THERE? TEAM, THAT'D BE AWESOME.
IS THAT A POSSIBILITY? BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE PRETTY EASY TO STORE.
YOU KIND OF JUST LIKE STICK 'EM ON THE SIDE AND TURN 'EM UP.
THEY, THEY CHAIN 'EM UP TOGETHER.
I'LL TRY TO GET, KIND OF GET THROUGH THIS AND WRAP IT UP A LITTLE BIT, BUT, UH, SO
[Business – G]
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS IS WHERE WE'RE AT NOW.I'VE GOT A LIST GOING IF YOU DON'T MIND.
SO FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS, I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD TO HAVE AN UPDATE ON PRIMROSE PHASE TWO CONSTRUCTION VERSUS FINALIZATION OF JUST WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT, WHAT HAS BEEN DECIDED OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S BEEN SNA, WHAT HASN'T AND WHAT WE NEED TO IDENTIFY FOR SPONSORSHIP.
THEN THE SECOND POINT WOULD BE JUST GOING OVER THE SPONSORSHIP IN GENERAL OF IF WE HAVE ANY FEEDBACK, ANY IDEAS, ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT SO THAT WE CAN GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS SO YOU GUYS CAN GET THAT OVER TO CITY COUNCIL, FINALIZED, ALL THAT.
I ALSO THINK A LITTLE LEAGUE BOARD LEGAL UPDATE AS TO IF MOVING FORWARD, DAX AND I TO HELP ORGANIZE THIS, DOES THAT THEN NEGATE UM, ANY DECISION RECOMMENDATION POWER WE HAVE ON THIS OR HOW TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.
JUST HAVE LEGAL ENGAGED IN THAT AND THEN TALK ABOUT LITTLE LEAGUE BOARD MEETING FOR THE COMMUNITY.
'CAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD BE SOMETIME IN DECEMBER IF THAT'S TRULY THE ANGLE WE'RE GOING.
AND THEN I'M THROWING OUT THERE JUST IDEA AND DATES ON PRIMROSE PHASE THREE BECAUSE I'M SURE WE'RE STARTING THAT UP HERE SHORTLY.
AND I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT OVERLOOKING PHASE THREE BEING SO FOCUSED ON PHASE TWO AND THEN AN UPDATE MAYBE ON JUST LACROSSE, UH, AT EITHER WAY ENDING WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE.
BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S A MUCH MORE, I MEAN THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, BUT I THINK THERE'S MORE TO THAT THAN JUST YEAH, THAT COULD HAPPEN.
I THINK IF, IF WE WANNA GO THAT ROUTE, LET'S, LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN AND SEE WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO GET THAT DONE.
AND I THINK THAT'S A ROBUST DECEMBER.
WELL I'D LIKE TO SEE WHICH PART OF THE PARK WE CAN JUST LEAVE ALONE AND, AND KEEP IT NATURE TRAIL, NOT A CONCRETE CITY SIDEWALK GOING THROUGH IT WITH BERMUDA GRASS ON THE SIDE.
THAT, AGAIN, BACK TO THE INTENT OF THE DONATION.
HIS MR. CORNELIUS'S REQUEST WAS LITTLE LEAGUE FIELDS.
MRS. CORNELIUS'S REQUEST WAS NATURE TRAILS AND RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE ONE.
WE HAVE A, THEY'VE COMPLETELY RIPPED EVERYTHING OUT.
THEY POURED IN A A SIX FOOT CITY CONCRETE SIDEWALK PUT PLANTED BERMUDA GRASS ALONG THE SIDE.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NATURE TRAIL.
SO, UH, PART HER INTENT ON DONATING THE LAND
[01:10:01]
WAS THAT.SO LET'S FIND SOMEWHERE THAT WE CAN JUST LEAVE ALONE AND LEAVE IT FULL SURE.
I LIKE THAT WE WANNA HONOR EVERYBODY'S, UM, YOU KNOW, WISHES AND, AND SO, UH, I LIKE IT.
SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE CAN WRAP UP THE MEETING AT 10 13 ON FRIDAY.
UM, I MAKE A MOTION TO, I MAKE AJO MOTION TO ADJOURN.
HERE I WILL SECOND THAT A MOTION.
