[Council Comment]
UPDATE PROVIDED BY LIAISON.COUNCIL MEMBER RICHARD RUSSELL.
WHAT'S UP? GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.
UH, OR, UH, LIAISON UPDATE, EXCUSE ME.
EAGLE LANDING PAVILION RENTAL POLICY APPROVED AT TWO THIRD AT THE FEBRUARY 3RD MEETING.
UM, BOTH OF THESE WERE ACTUALLY UNDER CONSENT ITEMS AND UM, NONE OF THE COUNCIL HAD ANY QUESTIONS ON IT, SO WE APPROVED IT UNDER, UM, AS IS.
SO WE'RE GOOD TO GO WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE EAGLE LENDING PARK PAVILION RENTAL POLICY AS WELL AS THE, AS WELL AS THE PRIMROSE PARK ATHLETIC FACILITY USED POLICY.
DID WE GET A COPY OF THAT? I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT.
WE CAN CERTAINLY SEND IT OUT AND IF ANYONE DOES NEED TO SEE IT BEFORE IT IS IN THE PACKET FOR THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING, BUT WE CAN ALSO MAKE SURE IT GETS EMAILED OUT TO THE BOARD.
WE SHOULD STATE BEFORE THEY GO EXACTLY.
[Business – A]
ITEM FIVE.A APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR THE MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 16TH, 2026.
I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT MINUTES AS POSTED.
ALL IN FAVOR? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
[Business – B]
B ART BOX PROJECT STATUS UPDATES FROM CITY STAFF REGARDING THE REMAINING TWO BOXES.YEAH, SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING TO GET THESE KIND OF GOING.
UH, WE HAD A BIT OF A HICCUP WE HAD, UM, JUST WITH THE DIMENSIONING.
SO WHEN WE DO THE MOCKUPS, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY EXACTLY FIT.
UM, SO WE, ONE OF THE MOCKUPS FOR THE HORSES, THE FOUR HORSES WAS ACTUALLY JUST A THREE, UM, SIDE PANEL AS OPPOSED TO BEING FOURTH.
SO WE'RE GONNA GO BACK AND REDO THAT MOCKUP AND THEY MAY ALLOW US THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADD THE FOURTH HORSE ON THE BACKSIDE, WHICH IS, I MEAN THEY MIGHT NOT BE FULLY ON, BUT YOU AT LEAST GET THREE PANELS OF A OF THE HORSE.
SO IT'S GONNA LOOK REAL A LOT BETTER AFTER WE DO THIS UPDATED MOCKUP.
SO WE ARE STILL SHOOTING THAT.
WE'LL HAVE IT COMPLETELY FINISHED BY THE END OF MARCH.
AND EVEN WITH THIS LITTLE BIT OF A HICCUP, WE DON'T SEE ANY ISSUE WITH IT.
BUT, UM, ONCE WE GET THE MOCKUPS, WE'LL DEFINITELY SEND THEM OVER TO Y'ALL SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THEM.
AND IF YOU'LL HAVE ANY PREFERENCE ON WHICH UM, ARTWORK GOES IN WHICH LOCATION, WE KIND OF WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO HEAR THAT.
BUT AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, MATTHEW, HELP ME OUT WITH WHERE, WHICH ONES, WHERE DID I GET THE HORSE AND THE
AND THE GARDEN'S AT KIND OF CHARGER WOODS AT WOODS.
AND SO WHAT ABOUT THE ONE AT O ARK AND CHARGER? SO THAT ONE WAS NOT ON THIS ROUND AND WE WERE LOOKING AT THAT FOR THE NEXT PHASE WHERE WE STARTED GOING OUT FOR AFTER THESE TWO ARE DONE.
AND THAT'D BE POST GETTING THE NEW ARTWORK AND GOING THROUGH THIS NEXT PHASE OF THE PROJECT.
BUT THESE WERE THE TWO THAT WE KIND OF IDENTIFIED WOULD BE EASIEST, EASIEST TO KIND OF ENCOMPASS AND ADD TO THIS.
BUT WE HAD THAT ON THE INITIAL PLAN.
SO WE ONLY WE'RE DOING TWO FOR THIS ONE AND THEN WE, IF WE DO A PHASE THREE WHERE WE GO FOR MORE ADDITIONAL ARTWORK, THEN WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT A CORPORATE NO, I'M SAYING THAT BOX WAS ON THE INITIAL SIX PLAN.
YEAH, SO IT WAS ON THE INITIAL ONE.
THE REASON FOR THE DELAY IS WITH, AS WE'VE MENTIONED, THE TOLL ROAD, WE KNOW THAT IT'S GONNA KEEP MOVING THROUGH.
THERE IS ALWAYS STILL THE INTENT TO PUT THAT UP.
UH, HOWEVER, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE TWO THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE WAY, THE NOT SUNNI ALREADY READY TO BE PUT IN THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY OF THAT CONSTRUCTION CONFLICTS.
WE'RE DOING THE TWO ON 3 59 RIGHT NOW.
AND THEN AS, UH, MR. LICHEN SAID OUR INTENT, AND THIS IS WHERE IT'S APPROPRIATE TO TALK WITH THE BOARD ON THIS, IS TO GO BACK OUT FOR ARTWORK OVER THE SUMMER PERIOD WORKING WITH THE ARTS ALLIANCE.
AND THEN ALL OF THOSE ON 10 93 WOULD BE PART OF OUR NEXT PHASE TO GET INCLUDING THE ONE AT CHARGER.
'CAUSE THEY'RE NOT IN THE WAY OF THE CONSTRUCTION AT ALL.
WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT I THINK GOING INTO IT.
WE'D LIKE TO DO THOSE KIND OF IN SEQUENCE INSTEAD OF JUST HAVING ONE RANDOM ONE AND BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND DO A, A GROUP OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME ON 10 93 MAKE A MORE OF AN IMPACT.
BUT YES, IT IS 100% ON OUR LIST AND IT WILL BE DONE DURING OUR NEXT UPDATE.
AND DAVID, UM, CAN WE REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE HORSES THAT THEY WOULD? SO IF WE HAVE FOUR HORSES, EXCUSE ME, COULD WE REDUCE THEM THEN HORSE WOULD FIT ON EACH SIDE.
SO IF WE REDUCE THEM, THEN OF COURSE YOU'LL HAVE A COLOR, BASICALLY COMPLIMENTARY COLOR.
THAT'LL BE A BORDERING BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DISTORT THE IMAGE.
SO YOU SCALE BECAUSE SOMEBODY SCALE IT DOWN SMALLER AND THEN THEN SOME BIGGER.
[00:05:01]
OKAY.WE WERE JUST TRYING TO SCALE IT WHERE WE TAKE UP THE FULL UM, SIDE OF THE ELECTRICAL BOX AS OPPOSED TO SCALING IT DOWN.
THEN WE SAY, OKAY, WELL THAT COLOR REALLY DIDN'T MATCH WELL OR WE CAN HAVE THAT FEEDBACK.
WE'D RATHER JUST KIND OF SCALE IT UP SO YOU HAVE THE PICTURE TAKING UP THE ENTIRE AREA.
BUT I MEAN WE COULD KIND OF, IF Y'ALL HAVE SOME FEEDBACK FOR US, I DEFINITELY WOULDN'T MIND IF WE, THIS WOULD BE THE MOMENT TO SAY, DO Y'ALL WANT SCALE IT DOWN AND JUST, IT'S HARD TO SAY WITHOUT SEEING IT, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
'CAUSE IT, FROM WHAT I REMEMBER, IT WAS FOUR, RIGHT? CAN YOU PUT IT UP ON FOUR? SO IS IT GONNA BE FRONT AND BACK OF THE FOUR? HERE'S THE IMAGE.
LET'S TRY TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T JUST HAVE THE HORSE'S BACKSIDE ON
CAN WE PUT THE GREEN HORSE ON THE ONE SIDE AND THE BROWN HORSE OR RED HORSE ON THE OTHER SIDE? THAT'S THE GOAL.
SINCE WE DO HAVE A FOUR SIDED BOX ON THIS ONE.
THAT'S WE, HOW WE NEED TO DO THE RE THEN CAN WE MAKE A SMALL PURPLE AND PUT 'EM ON BOTH SIDES? SO OF THE ENDS.
BUT WHERE'S THE FOURTH HORSE? IN OTHER WORDS MAKE THE YEAH, THERE ISN'T A FOURTH HORSE.
SO THIS IS WHAT WE KIND OF MENTIONED THAT WE'RE REDOING THE MOCKUPS.
THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL MOCKUPS AND WE SAW THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THEM.
SO WE'RE DOING THE, THE REDESIGN, ADDING THE FOURTH PANEL OF THE ELECTRICAL BOX BECAUSE THIS IS FOR THREE PANEL BOX THAT HAS A DIFFERENT BOXING SIDE OF IT.
SO, UM, THIS IS THE REWORK THAT WE'RE WORKING ON.
WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS YOU'VE GOT THE FOUR SIDES, BUT TWO OF THE SIDES ARE REAL LONG.
AND TWO OF THE SIDES ARE REAL SHORT.
CAN YOU JUST REDUCE THE SIZE OF ONE OF THE HORSES IN ORDER TO MAKE IT FIT FULL HORSE ON ONE SIDE.
ANOTHER SHORT SIDES WE COULD, AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS GETTING TO IS THAT, BUT YOU WOULD NEED A COMPLIMENTARY COLOR ON TOP BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA REDUCE THE SCALE OF THE IMAGE.
AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE BASICALLY A BORDER THAT WOULD BE THAT STEEL COLOR, WHICH I MEAN WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IF Y'ALL ARE OKAY WITH THAT OR IF WE DO A COMPLIMENTARY COLOR THAT WOULD KIND OF OFFSET THAT SPACE.
COULD YOU TAKE THE BACKGROUND? COULD YOU PULL THE HORSE OUT OF THE BACKGROUND, ENLARGE THE BACKGROUND TO THE FULL SIDES OF THE BOX AND THEN PUT THE HORSE BACK? WE CAN SEE ABOUT THAT.
I COULDN'T TELL YOU THAT FOR SURE.
WHAT IF YOU KEPT IT THE FOUR AND JUST DID FRONT AND BACK LIKE FOUR FOUR AND THEN THE SIDES YOU DID EITHER A FACE OR JUST A MATCHING COLOR, BUT THAT WAY YOU KEPT THE FOUR OF WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.
'CAUSE IT'S KIND OF COOL THE WAY.
IT'S LIKE VERY ANDY WARHOL LIKE YEAH.
AND THEN YOU COULD DO FRONT AND BACK WITH THE FOUR BLOCKS OF 'EM AND THEN JUST SOMETHING ELSE ON THE SIDES.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP THAT BECAUSE THAT KIND OF KEEPS MORE OF THE ORIGINAL.
IT'S VERY WARHOL, IT'S VERY COOL.
I LOVE THAT IT'S GOING BY DEL WEBB OR WHATEVER ELSE.
YEAH, WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT DOING THAT AS A MOCKUP AND WE CAN SEND 'EM OUT TO YOU THAT KIND OF, IF Y'ALL ARE OKAY WITH THAT ONE.
AND I WOULD JUST SAY FOR PHASE THREE WHEN WE DO THAT, I THINK WHEN WE LAUNCH THAT, LET'S LAUNCH WHAT THE TEMPLATE IS FOR THE ART AND IT'LL MAKE THIS SO MUCH EASIER.
BUT I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE 10 93 BEING PHASE THREE 'CAUSE IT COULD GET A LOT OF STUDENT INTEREST.
IT'S RIGHT ALONG AS THEY WOULD BE GOING TO THE HIGH SCHOOL AND RIGHT.
SO I THINK THAT'S REALLY AWESOME.
IT DID THE FIRST TIME AND IT WAS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT THAT WAS SUPPOSED, HER ARTWORK IS SUPPOSED TO GO THERE AND I THINK SHE'S GRADUATED COLLEGE NOW
DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT? ALRIGHT,
[Business – C]
ITEM FIVE C EAGLE LANDING PARK GENERAL UPDATE FROM CITY STAFF REGARDING FIELD MAINTENANCE.SO WE HAVE A COUPLE LIGHTS THAT ARE BEING FIXED CURRENTLY.
UH, THERE'S SOME PHOTOMETRIC ISSUES.
THERE'S, THERE'S A COUPLE LIGHTS THAT WERE POINTING, UH, KIND OF STRAIGHT DOWN.
SO WE HAD THE CONTRACTOR COME BACK AND READJUST THOSE AND WE HAD A COUPLE THAT WERE JUST OUT.
UM, WE HAD SOME SIDEWALK REPAIRS AND UM, SO THOSE ARE CURRENTLY BEING TAKEN CARE OF.
JUST THINGS THAT, THINGS YOU KIND OF DETERMINE OR FIGURE OUT AFTER THE PARK IS UP AND RUNNING AND YOU KIND OF SEE.
DO WE EVER GET THAT? I'M SORRY.
DO WE EVER GET THAT PATH IN BRIDGE? DO YOU HAVE YOUR MIC ON STEVE? YES.
DO WE EVER GET THAT PATH IN BRIDGE TAKEN CARE OF? SO WE'RE, UH, INITIALLY LOOKING AS AN INTERIM IS JUST DOING A COVERT AND PUTTING SOME, UM, BACKFILL AROUND IT.
AND THAT'LL BE JUST A TRAIL TO BEGIN WITH.
WE ARE KIND OF LOOKING AT EXPLORING MORE PERMANENT OPTIONS FOR IT THAT, UM, COULD, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE IT'S SAFE.
SO YES, OF COURSE THAT'S OUR FIRST PRIORITY.
THAT'S WHY WE'D RATHER HAVE DONE THE CULVERT NOW AND JUST BACKFILL.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON IN IMMEDIATE, BUT WE DEFINITELY WANNA LOOK AT MORE OF A PERMANENT SOLUTION OUT THERE.
UM, WHAT THAT COULD BE IS THERE'S A LOT OF OPTIONS FOR THAT.
DON'T FORGET A DA ANALYZE ABSOLUTELY.
WHEELCHAIRS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BEING ON THAT SURFACE.
AND MATT, WAS THE, WERE THE SIDEWALK REPAIRS SOMETHING THAT WERE DAMAGED OR THEY WERE JUST NOT DONE CORRECTLY? THEY WERE, THEY WERE DAMAGED BY THE MANLIFT WHEN THE ELECTRICIAN CAME IN TO START FIXING
[00:10:01]
THE LIGHTS.SO YEAH, IT JUST LIKE RAN OVER GO.
SO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THE CULVERT.
IT JUST GOES DOWN AND GETS ALL MUDDY AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO JUST SOMETHING THAT GOES OVER IT TO BRIDGE IS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? YES.
I MEAN, AND WE DEFINITELY KNOW THAT WE NEED THAT DRAINAGE, SO THAT'S WHY WE DON'T WANT TO YEAH.
FEED THE WATER GOING ACROSS, BUT MAKE IT TO WHERE YOU CAN ACCESS IT.
BUILD LIKE A LITTLE, A LITTLE WOOD BRIDGE THAT GOES OVER IT AND IT'S KIND OF UNDERNEATH IT.
THAT'S, THAT'D BE THE LARGER PLAN, BUT THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE ENGINEERING AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S DONE RIGHT.
WHEN WE BRING BRIDGES IN, THEN YOU BRING A LOT MORE ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES AND OH, IT DOES.
WE DO ALL THAT PORTION FUN TIMES FOR YOU GUYS ALWAYS.
AND I SAW IN THE MINUTES FROM JANUARY THAT THE DITS AND ALL OF THAT STUFF IS CURRENTLY BEING WORKED ON WITH SAND AND MATERIALS TO KIND OF FLATTEN OUT THE MM-HMM
ANYTHING ELSE ON
IT WOULDN'T ANYTHING ON LEVEL SURFACE OR ANYTHING? YEAH, WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM THE TWO GROUPS THAT HAVE BEEN USING IT.
SO AGAIN, OUR, OUR TEAM IS GOING OUT THERE PERIODICALLY AND CHECKING IF WE NEED TO FILL IT OUT.
AND IT TAKES A WHILE TO LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT KIND OF GRASS YOU GET.
I MEAN, YOU CAN GET LIKE SUPER HIGH AND THEY'LL BE, BUT IT TAKES A WHILE FOR EVERYTHING TO SETTLE.
AND THEN IT IS, IT'S LIKE A CONSTANT.
SO I THINK IT'LL GET TO WHERE YOU NEED IT, BUT YEAH, IT'S PLAYABLE.
IT WOULD JUST BE LIKE, HOW'S OUR PARTNERSHIP BEEN WITH HTX? EVERYTHING WORKING WELL? YES.
WE'VE HAD A VERY GOOD PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR, WITH HTX.
WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS ON THEIR SIDE AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS ON OUR SIDE.
[Business – D]
PARK UPDATE FROM CITY STAFF ON CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS AT PHASE TWO.SO FENCING IS ALMOST COMPLETE.
UM, MOST OF THE OUTFIELD FENCING AND THE BACKSTOP FENCING IS COMPLETE.
THREE OUT OF THE FOUR FIELDS NOW HAVE, UH, BACKSTOP FENCING.
SO, UH, THAT SHOULD BE THREE OUTTA THE FOUR.
AND THEN THE HOME RUN FIELD YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TOO, RIGHT? YES, SIR.
FOR LIKE THE SIZE AWESOME MAN.
EXCEPT FOR THE, THE CENTER FIELD, UH, MAINTENANCE GATE.
BUT EVERYTHING AROUND IT IS COOL.
IT IS TALL, IT'S EIGHT FOOT, IT IS GONNA EIGHT FOOT FITS.
IT'S GONNA LOOK LEGIT AND IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE A NICE, NICE SUPER NICE FEEL.
UM, ARE THE DUGOUTS COMPLETE THE BACK FENCING AROUND THE DUGOUT PARTS? NOT THE FENCING.
UM, IT'S, IT'S DELIVERED, IT'S ON SITE.
SO IS IT SEETHROUGH FENCING OR IS IT BRICK FENCING ON THE BACK? WHAT, WHAT WAS IT ON THE, IT MATCHES THE CHAIN LEAK, UH, FOR THE REST OF THE, OKAY.
YEAH, IT GOTTA START TO LOOK LIKE IT.
DID WE, UH, DID WE EVER FIGURE OUT THAT LITTLE WETLAND AREA RIGHT THERE? WHAT, WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THAT? UM, WHEN YOU PULL IN, I KNOW IT'S NOT OURS.
THEY, THEY DETERMINED, I SPOKE WITH OUR INSPECTOR AND CLIFF AND THEY, THEY DETERMINED IT'S NOT A PROTECTED WETLAND APPARENTLY, UM, FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD.
SO, UH, THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THE, HE STILL HAS TO GET PERMITS AND EVERYTHING BEFORE, UM, THAT DEVELOPER CAN DO ANY MORE WORK OUT THERE.
SO, WHICH HE HASN'T DONE AS OF YET.
YOU SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT IT CAN BE SOMETHING THAT'S COMPLIMENTARY TO WHAT WE'RE DOING THERE.
YEAH, I HAVEN'T, I HAVEN'T HEARD, UH, WHAT'S BEING PLANNED FOR THAT PROPERTY.
I THINK THEY DID, DIDN'T THEY? DIDN'T THE ORIGINAL ONE SETTLE? NO, SELL IT TO US.
UM, HOW ARE WE ON TIMELINE WITH PRIMROSE? WHAT'S THE, THE TARGET DATE FOR SUBSTANTIAL OR FINAL COMPLETION? I GUESS IT WOULD BE, WE'RE LOOKING AT BEGINNING TO MIDDLE OF MARCH FOR PHASE TWO.
SO WHEN IS THE GRASS GOING DOWN? I KNOW WE'RE JUST, IS THERE LIKE A, A TIME ON THAT YET? UH, ACCORDING TO THE CONTRACTOR NEXT WEEK THEY'LL BE ROLLING OUT THE GET GRASS.
AND ONCE WE GET THIS OUT, WE DEFINITELY, I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD.
WHEN ARE WE PLANNING TO DO A GRAND OPENING? UH, WE DO NOT HAVE AN OFFICIAL DATE YET.
WE'VE DONE SOME INTERNAL PLANNING LOOKING AT SCHEDULES PROBABLY NEAR THE BEGINNING OF MAY BECAUSE WE DO WANNA ALLOW THE GRASS TO HAVE SOME TIME BEFORE WE EVEN HAVE JUST REC PLAY ON IT.
BECAUSE I'M OUT OF TOWN IN APRIL, SO SELFISH.
WE'LL DEFINITELY MAKE SURE THAT WE, ONCE WE LET COUNCIL KNOW, WE'LL LET PARKS AND REC KNOW AND OF COURSE WE'LL DO A BIG PUSH ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL.
WE WANT TO BE LIKE, IT'D BE NICE TO LET LET PARKS KNOW BEFORE THE PUBLIC MAYBE.
[00:15:01]
YEAH.UM, ALRIGHT, UM, ANYTHING ELSE ON PRIMROSE? NO.
I, ONE, ONE QUESTION REAL FAST.
I NOTICED THERE'S MOUNTAINS OUT THERE, SO WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE REAL DIRT MOUNDS 'CAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO BUY PITCHING MOUNDS.
'CAUSE I SAW DIRT MOUNDS AND I, I WAS SURPRISED BY THAT.
SO THAT'S, IS THAT SOMETHING WE'RE KEEPING OR GONNA MAINTAIN? YEAH, SO FOR THE, FOR FIELDS ONE THROUGH THREE, THEY'LL HAVE THE, THEY'LL HAVE MOUNDS AND THEN THE FIELD FOUR WILL BE FLAT.
WITH THE A REMOVABLE, I MEAN A PORTABLE MOUND WHAT NEED ONE.
IS THAT THE FLEX FIELD? YES MA'AM.
UM, FIRM ROAD, THEY'VE GOT, UH, PILES OF DIRT PILES AND PILES AND PILES OF DIRT.
IS THAT SOMETHING WE CAN REPURPOSE IN PLACE? IT'LL BE REPURPOSED IN PHASE THREE FOR THE, THE SLOPED AMPHITHEATER SO WE CAN MAKE INTO.
[Business – E]
B PARK SPONSORSHIPS, DISCUSSION OF THE PARK, SPONSORSHIP PACKET OFFERINGS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.I FIGURED I'D SHOW YOU ALL HOW WE GET TO THE PARK SPONSORSHIPS ON THE WEBSITE TO KIND OF START.
SO THIS IS JUST OUR SHORE TEXAS.GOV WEBSITE.
IF YOU GO TO ABOUT US AND PARKS AND RECREATION, ONE OF THE SUB PAGES OFF TO THE SIDE IS PARK, SPONSOR PARK.
UH, PARK SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.
AND IN HERE IS THE PACKET AS WELL AS SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
AND THEN YOU CAN JUST CLICK ON IT TO ACTUALLY SEE THE PACKET ITSELF.
SO I LIKE A THING THAT SAYS CLICK HERE.
UH, HAVE WE HAD ANYBODY REACH OUT? YES.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE HAD TWO BUSINESSES REACH OUT.
UH, ONE IS, UH, GRY ORTHODONTICS AND THEN LOCAL TABLE.
THEY ARE LOOKING TO DO SCOREBOARDS.
I WAS GOING TO, BUT I FIGURED I'D LET YOU.
WELL HE'S BEEN, HE'S BEEN HOUNDING ME FOR LIKE A YEAR.
I'M LIKE, I GOT YOU COVERED MAN.
WE'RE YOU, YOU'RE LIKE A, EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO YOU ARE AND YOU DO GREAT FOR THE COMMUNITY, YOU'LL BE GOOD.
SO I'VE BEEN TALKING TO THEM AND THEN I'VE HAD SOME OTHER DISCUSSIONS WITH A FEW OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL KIND OF TENTATIVELY FIGURING OUT WHICH ITEMS THEY'RE LOOKING TO DO.
OPPORTUNITIES TO PRESENT TO YOU GUYS NEXT MONTH.
SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
I'M TRYING TO WAIT AND LET SOME LOCAL PEOPLE THAT'S DO THINGS BEFORE I REACH OUT TO MORE OF A REGIONAL THING.
WELL I KNOW I WAS GONNA LET SOME GO TOO BEFORE I GO.
I WANNA DO IT, SPONSOR IT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO I'M LIKE, I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T JUST, I GOTTA LET PEOPLE DO IT FIRST, YOU KNOW, SO I DON'T FOR SURE.
WHETHER IT'S A WHAT, 1, 2, 3 YEAR LIMIT.
WHAT'S THE A FOUR YEAR FOR SCOREBOARD, RIGHT? SCOREBOARD.
FOR, FOR NAMING RIGHTS IT'S FOUR.
COULD YOU DO US A FAVOR WHEN PEOPLE START PICKING WHAT THEY WANT, LET US KNOW SO THAT WE DON'T GET REDUNDANT AND OH, FOR SURE.
I HAVEN'T HAD ANYONE OFFICIALLY PAY YET, SO THAT'S WHY IT HASN'T BEEN SENT OUT.
I KNOW WHAT'S TAKEN GOING FORWARD SO THAT WE KNOW WHAT'S TAKEN OFF AND WE CAN MAKE SURE, WHY DON'T I DO PRINT OUT A BUNCH OF THOSE AND LIKE TAKE 'EM TO LIKE MY BUDDIES THAT YOU KNOW, OR PLACES THAT I KNOW FOR A FACT AND BE LIKE, HERE'S THE PAMPHLET, HERE'S ALL THE INFORMATION, CONTACT THEM, THIS IS IT.
AND IF YOU WAIT TOO LONG IT'S GONNA BE GONE.
YEAH, I JUST HAVEN'T REALLY, I'VE BEEN SO BUSY WITH WORK.
THIS ON FACEBOOK OR NOW IT, IT IS ON FACEBOOK.
I THINK, UH, SOMETHING WAS ALREADY SHARED BY OUR FACEBOOK TEAM WHEN IT WENT LIVE BACK AT PACKET.
UH, POSSIBLY LINK TO THE PACKET.
I BELIEVE THEY ALREADY DID SHARE ONE, BUT WE CAN ASK THEM TO PUT IT INTO THEIR CALENDAR FOR ANOTHER REMINDER TO HAVE SOMETHING.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN DO EVERY WEEK.
WE GOTTA MAKE A BIG PUSH FOR THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR CONTENT CALENDAR LOOKS LIKE, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY MAKE SURE WE ASK THEM TO PUT IT BACK ON SOME SORT OF ROTATION.
MAYBE PARTICULARLY AS WE START HAVING SOME OF THEM GET CHECKED OFF AGAIN TO CREATE THAT URGENCY.
LIKE LOOK, THESE SCOREBOARDS ARE ALREADY GONE.
YOU BETTER GET IN OR SOMETHING.
YOU'RE GONNA MISS YOUR CHANCE BREAK.
IS THERE, IS THERE, I'M SORRY.
SORRY, DID Y'ALL SAY EVERYTHING IS FOUR YEAR NAMING RIGHT? JUST SCOREBOARDS.
SO IN GENERAL, THE NAMING RIGHTS ARE FOUR YEARS, WHICH ARE ONLY A FEW ITEMS. EVERYTHING ELSE IS A 10 YEAR OH WINDOW.
AND I APOLOGIZE, I I JUMPED TO ANSWER THERE'S FOUR SCOREBOARDS IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY.
NOT THAT IT WAS A FOUR YEAR TERM.
BUT IT BUT IT IS A FOUR YEAR TERM THOUGH.
SCOREBOARDS OR 10 SCOREBOARDS.
[00:20:01]
VIN IF YOU WANT THE OTHER THREE POPWE DO NOT HAVE CURRENTLY A PLAN TO HAVE THAT AT OUR WATER CONSERVATION DAY.
I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY COOL 'CAUSE I THINK WATER CONSERVATION DAY IS GONNA BRING OUT A LOT OF LOCAL BUSINESSES PARENTS AND I THINK IF THEY'RE NOT SOCIAL MEDIA JUNKIES THEN IN PERSON MIGHT BE GOOD JUST TO SEE THAT IF WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT, WE CAN ASK JUST ANY UPCOMING, ANY UPCOMING EVENTS I THINK WOULD BE GREAT.
ON THAT NOTE SPECIFICALLY TOO, THAT IS THE SAME DAY AS OUR NEXT PARKS AND REC MEETING.
SO WE WILL BE NEEDING TO LEAVE TO HELP WITH THAT AS WELL.
BUT THAT'S A GOOD POINT THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY HAVE SOMETHING THERE TO KIND OF PROMOTE THAT.
THAT'S SPRING BREAK AND I KNOW A LOT OF US ARE GONNA BE OUT TOWN.
I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT IT IN A LITTLE BIT LATER, SIR.
YOU MIGHT WANNA, IT'S SPRING BREAK THAT WEEK.
SO I KNOW LIKE A LOT OF US ARE GONNA BE OUT OF TOWN SO WE MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE THE MEETING.
I, I GOTTA FIND OUT, ASK MY WIFE WHEN, BUT I KNOW WE'LL BE GONE FOR LIKE A WEEK.
IT'LL BE ON THE 13TH, BUT WHEN WE GET TO THE FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS, WE CAN TALK ABOUT CONSERVATION DAY A LITTLE BIT.
ONE THING I NEED TO, I THINK PART OF OUR ROLE IS TO REALLY PUSH THAT LIKE US.
'CAUSE I MEAN LIKE WE'RE LIKE THE PEOPLE THAT THAT THAT, I MEAN TALK A LOT TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THIS KIND OF STUFF.
SO I THINK WE SHOULD REALLY BE PUSHING THE LOCAL, I PROMISE YOU NONE OF THE LOCAL PLACES ARE FAMILIAR THAT THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
I MEAN LIKE, AND IT CAN BE ANYWHERE, YOU KNOW, IT CAN BE LIKE THE DRY CLEANERS, LITTLE RESTAURANTS.
I MEAN THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS GETTING ON FULL SOCIAL MEDIA AT ALL.
SO WE REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HAVE TO START PUSHING THIS OURSELVES.
KELLY, COULD WE GET DICTATE WHO A FEW PRINTED OUT COPIES THAT WE COULD GIVE OUT? ABSOLUTELY.
WELL KNOW LIKE A BUNCH TO, YEAH, NO, SERIOUSLY.
BUT YOU GOTTA START REALLY PROMOTING THIS BIG TIME WITH ALL THE RESTAURANTS.
A LOT OF THE BIGGER BUSINESS OWNERS ARE NEVER ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
AND I'LL SAY THAT IS PART OF WHAT KELLY'S POSITION IS TOO, IS TO ALSO PROACTIVELY GO OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY.
NOT JUST WAIT FOR OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES TO COME TO US, BUT BY JOINING SOME OF THE CHAMBER MEETINGS ALREADY AND JUST GETTING CONNECTED WITH THROUGH OUR EDC, MAKING SURE THAT SHE'S TALKING WITH OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES TOO, TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE AWARE OF THIS.
SO I DON'T WANNA GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT WE'RE JUST PUTTING IT ON FACEBOOK AND WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO COME TO US.
UH, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NOT GONNA BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY BECAUSE WE WILL MISS OUT ON A VERY SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY.
BUT LISTEN, BUT BUT FOR US, 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, WE WE'RE WE'VE, WE KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE.
I CAN BE LIKE, HEY, CALL THESE 10 PEOPLE OR I'LL PUT IT LIKE ON A GROUP EMAIL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS.
WE NEED TO BE DOING OUR OUR WAY TOO.
WELL AND THE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THAT THE CITY DID WAS, WAS REALLY GREAT.
I THINK I WAS, I HAVEN'T SHARED IT ON MY OWN NETWORK, BUT I THINK THAT COULD BE STEP ONE.
I DO THINK THIS, THIS COMMISSION HAS A LOT OF CONTEXT IN THE COMMUNITY AND JUST LETTING THE LOCAL BUSINESSES KNOW BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, FOLKS ARE GONNA BE GOING TO GAMES AND THEN THEY MIGHT WANNA STICK AROUND AND GO TO DINNER.
AND SO THERE'S THOSE CUES AND THINGS OF THAT SORT.
SO I THINK, UM, WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING IT IN FRONT OF OUR, OUR PEOPLE AND YOU GOTTA TALK TO ABOUT IT.
'CAUSE THEY'LL SEE IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
THEY LIKE, OH YEAH, THAT'D BE COOL.
THEY DON'T THINK ABOUT IT AFTER THAT.
BUT IF YOU'RE LIKE, HEY LOOK, THIS COULD REALLY HELP YOUR BUSINESS MAN.
THIS IS SOMETHING I WE'RE, WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING IT AND I THINK YOU SHOULD REALLY BENEFIT FROM THIS 'CAUSE EXPLAIN THE EXPOSURE OF IT.
YOU KNOW, AND THEY'RE LIKE, YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
VERSUS JUST BEING A PASSING GLANCE ON THEIR, ON THEIR FEED.
SO, AND START CROSSING THINGS A LITTLE BIT.
ESPECIALLY SINCE, UM, OH, BASED ON THE FEEDBACK WE GOT FROM YOU ALL, WE DID DEFINITELY TRY TO MAKE SURE WE HAD SOME MORE ECONOMICAL PRICES.
SO THAT'S WHY WE DID TRY TO MAKE SURE, HEY, IT'S A 10 YEAR THING.
WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY INSTEAD OF IT JUST BEING WALMART OR AMAZON OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE DEFINITELY TRIED TO MAKE IT SOMETHING WE WILL TALK.
DO WE HAVE A PLAN FOR THE BRICKS? LIKE WHERE ARE THE BRICKS GOING TO GO? BECAUSE UM, THAT WAS A QUESTION THAT I HAD AND SOMEBODY ELSE HAD AND I WAS LIKE, WELL THE BRICKS ARE GOING IN THE PARK, WEREN'T THEY OVER BY THE FIFTH TRUCKS? YEAH.
SO THE PLAN THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IS FOR OUR TWO LOWER TIERS, WHICH IS THE BRONZE AND SILVER ONE WOULD BE THAT THOSE WOULD BE BRICKS THAT WOULD BE THERE, UM, IN THE WALKWAY KIND OF TRANSITIONING PHASE TWO TO PHASE THREE.
SO NEAR THAT FOOD COURT AREA WE HAVE A NICE ENHANCED PAVING AREA THERE.
AND THEN THE KIND OF RIGHT THERE, UM, IN THAT AREA HORIZONTALLY.
AND THEN WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING IS IN THAT SAME AREA FOR THE GOLD AND PLATINUM SPONSORS HAVING UM, A DONATION WALL ACTUALLY WHERE THEIR NAMES WOULD BE ETCHED ON IT.
UM, JUST INDICATING THEIR YES THEY'RE READING BRICKS, UH, BY THE BASEBALL FIELDS BECAUSE I THINK YOU'RE GONNA GET A LOT OF TRACTION THERE LIKE YEAR ROUND.
WE JUST HAVE THEM IN THE MIDDLE BECAUSE WE WANTED, SOME PEOPLE AREN'T DOING IT JUST FOR THE BASEBALL.
WE WANTED TO HAVE BEAT PRIMOS PARK HOLISTICALLY.
SO THAT'S WHY THEY'RE IN THE CENTER OF THE PARK.
HAVE WE SEEN THIS BEFORE? YOU WERE NOT HERE, UH, LAST TIME I THINK.
THIS WILL BE THE MAP THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
THIS IS, THIS IS A LITTLE PREMATURE.
[00:25:01]
WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE'LL BE SENDING YOU WHEN WE GET OUR 90% PLANS THAT I STARTED TO DROOL A LITTLE.'CAUSE I'M LIKE, THERE'S DETAIL UP THERE.
THIS WILL BE GETTING EMAILED TO YOU FOR YOUR FULL WEEK OF YOUR REVIEW AND EVERYTHING.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR OVERSHARING, BUT NOW THAT WE'VE SEEN IT, WE REALLY WANNA SEE IT.
I PULLED UP THE WRONG MAP, BUT THIS IS THE SECTION THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY OF WHERE THE BRICKS WOULD BE.
AND WE'LL GET TO SEE THAT NEXT MONTH HOPEFULLY A LITTLE BIT SOONER.
WE'RE WAITING ON A FEW OTHER EXHIBITS.
PRETTY MUCH TOOK A PHOTO OF IT SO WE CAN POST.
IT'S ALREADY ON OUR VIDEO, SO IF YOU REALLY NEED, YOU'RE STAY OUT THERE IN VIDEO LAND.
SO WE'RE JUST WAITING ON A FEW ADDITIONAL EXHIBITS FOR Y'ALL'S OPTIONS.
SO YOU'RE GONNA TAKE A LOOK AT AND GET THIS FEEDBACK AND WHICH ONE WE CAN DIRECTION FOR.
UM, AND JUST A REMINDER THAT WHEN WE GET THE 90%, WE ARE LOOKING AT KEEPING THIS SCHEDULE TIGHT SO THAT WE CAN GET REALLY TRANSITION FROM PHASE TWO INTO PHASE THREE.
WE'RE VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME BETWEEN THE TWO.
SO YEAH, WE WOULD DEFINITELY ASK FOR Y'ALL'S YEAH.
ASSISTANCE IN THAT AS WE GO THROUGH THIS LAST LITTLE.
BUT MR. LICHEN, I DO BELIEVE THE INTENT IS TO HAVE AT LEAST A FULL WEEK YES.
SO I DON'T NEED TO THINK YOU'RE JUST GETTING 24 HOURS.
WE WANNA MAKE SURE YOU HAVE TIME TO REVIEW IT.
IT, IT'S IN THE VIDEO THAT WAS, UM, PUT OUT FOR THE PUBLIC.
NO, JUST IN THE VIDEO RIGHT NOW.
UM, MY, OUR, ONE OF MY KIDS' OLD SCHOOLS, THEY DID A, AN IRON TREE AND THEN PEOPLE WOULD BUY THE LEAVES ON THE TREE.
INSTEAD OF JUST A WALL AND KIND OF ADDS TO THE PARK.
IT WAS PRETTY, IT WAS VERY PRETTY.
I'LL TRY TO FIND A PICTURE OF IT.
IF YOU COULD THAT WOULD, YEAH.
SO KEEPING WITH UH, THE PARK SPONSORSHIP BUT ALSO LITTLE D WITH PRIMROSE PARK.
WHAT IS THE CURRENT SCHEDULE FOR PHASE THREE COMPLETION? THEY HAVE A PHASE THREE COMPLETION OF 365 AT AFTER SOLICITATION AND AWARD.
SO RIGHT NOW, UM, WITH 90 PERCENTS COMING, UM, IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
SO JUST ROUND NUMBERS OF MARCH.
AND THEN WE GO INTO SOLICITATION PROBABLY BY THE END OF MARCH.
GIVE US 45 DAYS TO PUT THAT OUT AND GET THEIR CONTRACTOR ABOARD AND TAKE IT TO COUNCIL.
WE'RE SHOOTING FOR MAY AND THESE ARE VERY TENTATIVE 'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE FULL SET PLANS YET.
SO THEN WE'D LOOK AT PROBABLY THE SUMMERTIME OF 27.
IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF WE COULD START TRYING TO TARGET 2020 SEVEN'S 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION TO BE LIKE THE END GOAL THAT MAYBE WE COULD DO SOMETHING IN THE PARK AS A COMMUNITY.
I KNOW I'M GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF, BUT IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.
WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING FOR THAT.
FOR WHAT IT 250TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME PART WE CAN USE LIKE EVEN LANDING OR THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE IN THE FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THAT.
YES, PLEASE BRING THAT UP DURING FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS AND WE'D LOVE TO GET SOME MORE IDEAS ON THAT.
I'M KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT THE BRAZEL DAZZLE WE JUST SAW OF THE BRICKS GOING IN BETWEEN THE BASEBALL AND THE, AND THE, THE PHASE THREE.
'CAUSE I DO THINK IT'S GONNA ATTRACT A LOT MORE ATTENTION, NOT JUST FOLKS THAT ARE BASEBALL TASTIC.
I I THAT, I'M JUST EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
ANYTHING ELSE ON THE PARK? SPONSORSHIPS.
[Business – F]
FIVE F WILDLIFE IMPACT STUDY DISCUSSION OF COMMISSION TO PRESENT TO CITY COUNCIL FOR FUTURE PROJECTS.SO THIS WAS AN ITEM THAT MS. RIDGE BROUGHT UP DURING OUR FUTURE AGENDA ITEM AT THE LAST MEETINGS MONTH.
AND SO WANTED TO OPEN THE FLOOR AND MAKE SURE IT WAS ON HERE TO GET AIRED.
JUST KIND OF WHAT YOUR IDEAS WERE, WHAT THE COMMISSION WANTED TO SEE.
UH, MS. RIDGE, THANK YOU FOR SENDING US KIND OF AN EXAMPLE FROM THAT GENTLEMAN ON WHAT THIS COULD LOOK LIKE.
I KNOW AS STAFF, JUST ONE OF THE INITIAL QUESTIONS WE HAVE, IF THIS IS ENVISIONED MORE AS A STUDY THAT DEVELOPERS DO FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL PROPERTIES OR IF THIS IS MORE OF A HOLISTIC CITYWIDE WILDLIFE IMPACT STUDY.
WELL, IT, THE WAY, UH, IT WAS A PROFESSOR WHO HAS A LOT OF TIME ON HIS HANDS.
I, I WISH WE COULD HAVE MADE IT A CITY MANDATE 15 YEARS AGO, BUT WE DIDN'T, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY EXISTED UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO.
UM, AND I THINK WITH THE, THE ISSUE OF THE DEER COMING FROM THE HEZ PROJECT KIND OF SET THIS OFF BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE, ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT.
UM, AND I HAVE A NEIGHBOR, SHE'S BEEN IN ON HER PROPERTY FOR 27 YEARS AND HAS SEEN THREE SNAKES ON HER PROPERTY IN 27 YEARS.
AND THE OTHER DAY SHE SAW FIVE THE SAME DAY.
AND SO IT'S NOT ONLY THE DEER THAT WE SEE, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS.
I MEAN, WHEN YOU SEE MOTHER CARDINAL CIRCLING A TREE THAT HER NEST WAS IN THE TREE, THEY JUST FELL.
IT JUST THINGS LIKE THAT THAT, UM, UH, IT WOULD BE EACH DEVELOPER OVER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PROPERTY.
AND THAT'S TO BE DETERMINED BY THE CITY.
WHETHER IT BE FIVE ACRES OR 10 ACRES OR 30 ACRES OR
[00:30:01]
WHATEVER.UM, THAT THEY, HE SOME OF WHAT'S YOUR RECOMMENDATION THOUGH? WELL, EITHER IT PER INDIVIDUAL OR LIKE A PER PER DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY PER DEVELOP OR PER PROPERTY.
YOU KNOW, IT'D BE NICE IF THE CITY SORT OF HAD A MISSION STATEMENT OF SOME KIND SAYING THIS IS HOW WE WANT ANYTHING OVER AN ACRE.
ANYTHING, ANY DEVELOPMENT OVER FIVE ACRES.
WELL, ANYTHING OVER FIVE ACRES GONNA START MOVING THE NEEDLE A LITTLE BIT.
I MEAN, THAT'S TO BE DETERMINED BY CITY COUNCIL, BY THE CITY.
UM, ANYTHING OVER FIVE TO 10 ACRES, TWO ACRES.
BUT PART OF WHAT HE SAID, IT'S AVOIDANCE, SHIFTING INFRASTRUCTURE TO STAY OUT OF HIGHER QUALITY, RIPARIAN OR WETLAND HABITAT MINIMIZATION, CONSTRUCTION BUFFERS, TIMING RESTRICTIONS TO AVOID, AVOID NESTING, SEASON EROSION, SEDIMENT CONTROLS, COMPENSATORY MITIGATION, HABITAT RESTORATION, NATIVE PLANTINGS, CONSERVATION EASEMENTS OR OFFSITE MITIGATION TO REPLACE LOST HABITAT UNITS PER TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE METHODS AND LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT, INVASIVE FERAL HOG CONTROL, MOWING REGIMES AND MAINTAINED CREATED WETLANDS OR, OR PONDS FOR HABITAT ARE JUST SOME OF THEM.
AND I KNOW, I MEAN, LIGHTING IS A BIG THING.
UM, I MEAN, AGAIN, THIS IS JUST SORT OF A STARTING POINT THAT FOR THE CITY TO WORK WITH AND, AND COME UP.
DID I SEND YOU, HE ACTUALLY MADE AN ORDINANCE FOR US
HE'S, I SENT IT TO JOSH AND, AND ZACH.
UM, LIKE I SAY, IT'S JUST, HE'S A RETIRED PROFESSOR WITH A LOT OF TIME ON HIS HANDS.
AND THIS WAS SOMETHING KIND OF TO START WITH IF YOU WANTED TO LOOK THROUGH IT AND YES.
AND SINCE THIS IS A PARK ITEM, IF YOU COULD SEND ME ANY OF THAT ABSOLUTELY.
I WOULD LOVE TO MOVE IT FORWARD FOR YOU'D BE GREAT.
UM, BUT IT'S JUST SOMETHING, I THINK AGAIN, WE SHOULD HAVE HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS 15 YEARS AGO AND WE DIDN'T, BUT BETTER NOW THAN NEVER.
UM, JUST SO THAT DEVELOPERS SHOW SOME RESPONSIBILITY WHEN THEY'RE COMING IN.
WHEN YOU JUST SEE THEM CLEAR, CUTTING EVERYTHING.
IT'S DESTROYING THE BEAUTY OF OUR CITY.
MOST OF THE LAND THAT IS, IS DEVELOPABLE.
BUT THE LITTLE THAT WE HAVE LEFT
IF WE COULD, BUT WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK? I I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL YOU BROUGHT UP, YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF, UH, RULES.
I MEAN, 'CAUSE YOU GOTTA BE CONSCIOUS OF ALL THE, THE CREATURES, WHETHER YOU GOTTA MOVE THEM SAFELY OR GIVE 'EM A WAY TO BE ABLE TO MIGRATE TO WHERE THEY'RE GONNA BE.
BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY THE WAY IT IS IS GROWTH IS GONNA HAPPEN.
BUT YOU GOTTA GIVE THEM A WAY WHERE YOU JUST DON'T LIKE, YOU KNOW, STRIP THEIR LAND AND, AND NOT DO ANYTHING TO UH, YOU KNOW, TO MOVE THEM SAFELY AND SAD.
THERE HAS TO BE A HAPPY MEDIUM.
YOU'D STILL, THE WORDS ON MY MOUTH.
I WAS GONNA SAY, THERE HAS TO BE A HAPPY MEDIUM IN THAT IF YOU'RE A LANDOWNER, I MEAN, YOU OWN THAT LAND, RIGHT.
AND IF YOU'RE ABIDING BY THE LAWS THAT HAVE SET FORTH IN FRONT OF YOU, IT'S YOUR LAND.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I'VE HEARD A LOT OF, UH, TALK ABOUT A TEMPORARY WILDLIFE CORRIDOR WHEN IT COMES TO LARGE ACREAGE OF, YOU KNOW, CLEAR CUT.
AND THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT I THINK WOULD BE GREAT FOR THE CITY TO INVESTIGATE.
AND NOT TRYING TO LIMIT WHAT, WHAT LANDOWNERS CAN DO, BUT YOU KNOW, TO COME IN AND CUT EVERYTHING DOWN THEN FORCES THIS REACTION TO WILDLIFE.
THAT THEN I THINK IS WHAT WE'RE SEEING WITH THE DEER RIGHT NOW.
EVERYBODY'S SEEING THE DEER WITH NOWHERE TO GO.
IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO KIND OF PUT IN PLACE A TEMPORARY WILDLIFE CORRIDOR THAT HELPS TO REDUCE THAT IMPACT? I KNOW ENOUGH TO BE NOT DANGEROUS WITH IT, BUT THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING I WOULD REALLY LIKE THE CITY TO INVESTIGATE.
THERE'S MANY, THE OTHER CITIES HAVE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS AHEAD TIME.
WESTERN LAKES HAS DONE IT WEST WITH CORRIDORS, DEER ROAMING IN WESTON LAKES.
NO, THEY'RE DEER THAT ROAM AROUND AND OKAY.
THEY OTHER WELL, THERE'S TONS.
WHETHER IT BE A WILDLIFE IMPACT STUDY, WHICH I THINK IS GREAT, OR JUST INTRODUCING SOME SORT OF, YOU KNOW, INCORPORATION WHEN THESE DE DEVELOPERS ARE COMING IN.
I THINK TO KENT'S, UM, COMMENT, THERE'S NOT A, THERE'S STILL LAND, BUT YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING GREAT FOR THE CITY TO JUST INVESTIGATE IF WE COULD OR HAVE THAT CONSERVATION PLAN WAS HIS OTHER IDEA.
BUT THESE, THEY, YOU ALSO HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT ALL OF THESE ANIMALS THAT HAVE NOWHERE TO GO ARE GOING INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY'RE GOING INTO THE BO ARK NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE THERE'S ANY LAND.
SO IT IS DISTURBING OTHER NEIGHBORS,
IS IT CORRIDORS OR WHAT IS IT? YEAH, HE, I IF HE, WOULD YOU MIND SENDING IT OUT TO EVERYONE? I DON'T THINK I'M ALLOWED TO.
YOU KNOW, THERE, WELL THEY'VE, HE'S DONE IT IN SEVERAL, HE'S BEEN DOING IT FOR 20 YEARS.
SO HE'S DONE IT IN SEVERAL PLACES AROUND SAN ANTONIO.
SO IT'S BEEN DONE AND IT HAS WORKED.
IN FACT, HE TOLD ME THAT THE DEVELOPERS AT FIRST WERE, UM, NOT LIKING THE, THE IDEA VERY MUCH.
[00:35:01]
HAD TO DO IT, THEY NOW COME TO HIM AND ASK HIM, HEY, WE'RE GONNA BUILD A NEW DEVELOPMENT.WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? YEAH.
AND THEY ACTUALLY, I THINK, I DON'T THINK THE DEVELOPERS ARE ALL EQUAL HEARTED COLD PEOPLE.
THEY, I THINK THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THEY SEE A PIECE OF LAND AND THEY DON'T SEE WHAT'S LIVING ON THAT LAND.
AND I THINK ONCE THEY KNOW SOME OF THEM
YOU, YOU, YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION.
THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DO ABOUT THE WILDLIFE IN ORDER TO CREATE, YOU KNOW, A PEACEFUL HABITAT FOR THEM TO EITHER MIGRATE ALONG OR MOVE IN DIFFERENT AREAS AND NOT JUST CLEAR CUT.
UM, THE OTHER ASPECT THAT WE HAVE TO ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT IS IF, IF WE MAKE IT TOO DIFFICULT FOR DEVELOPERS TO COME IN AND COMMERCIALIZE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO DO TO MITIGATE THE REQUIREMENT OF INCREASING OUR TAX BASE AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF, YOU KNOW, THE CITY OF SHORE.
THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION.
ALSO, WE CAN'T MAKE IT TOO DIFFICULT OR TOO EXPENSIVE FOR DEVELOPERS TO COME IN.
NOW IF WE HAVE A PROCESS IN PLACE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, DEEMS IS, IS PROPER FOR US TO BE, TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE DEVELOPERS FOLLOW.
WE ALSO HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE, THE INSPECTORS THAT HAVE TO GO OUT FROM THE CITY AND MAINTAIN THAT THESE DEVELOPERS FOLLOW THOSE GUIDELINES.
SO IT'S, IT'S, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THAT IN PLACE.
AND I THINK IT'S, IT'S A, IT'S A GREAT AVENUE.
LIKE YOU SAID, WE SHOULD HAVE HAD IT 15 YEARS AGO AND WE WOULD'VE HAD THAT SET IN PLACE.
IT MAY BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CITY IF WE HAD BUT TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.
BUT NOW WE ARE HERE AND WE CAN MOVE FORWARD TO TRY TO SEE WHAT WE CAN PROPOSE.
BUT THERE ARE, THERE IS THAT CASCADING WATERFALL THAT NEED THAT WE DO NEED TO BE CAREFUL WITH.
UM, THERE ARE ASPECTS OF, I WISH WE COULD DICTATE WHAT TYPE OF COMMERCIALIZATION WE CAN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THANKS TO AUSTIN AND THE WONDERFUL LEGISLATORS THAT WE HAVE, THEY HAVE TIED OUR HANDS.
UM, AND IT'S COME TO THE POINT, I KNOW THAT THE, THE CLEAR CUTTING YOU'RE SPEAKING OF IS A HEINZ DEVELOPMENT AND, AND ALL OF THAT AND, YOU KNOW, BE BECAUSE OF THE ETJ OR NOT EVEN THE ETJ, IT'S BECAUSE OF THEM ACTUALLY, UH, ANNEXING OUT OF THE CITY.
WE HAVE ZERO SAY SO INTO IT WHATSOEVER, EXCEPT ANY SERVICES THAT WE CAN PROVIDE AS A CITY IN A WAY TO EITHER GAIN SOME REVENUE OR ASSISTANCE OR SOME BACK AND FORTH.
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL WITH BECAUSE THERE ARE, THERE ARE LANDOWNERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE THE CAPABILITY.
IF IN CASE WE MAKE IT TOO DIFFICULT, THEY CAN PETITION THE SAME THING AND THEN WE, WE START RUNNING THE SAME ISSUES.
WELL THIS NEEDS TO GO TO THE COUNTY TOO.
I MEAN IT'S, AND AND WELL AS YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY'S GONNA SIT ON IT A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
WELL JUST SOMETHING TO, UM, TO LOOK INTO.
AGAIN, BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
I WAS GOING TO ASK IF YOU WOULD LIKE, WHAT WE CAN DO IN PREPARATION FOR THE NEXT MEETING, UM, ONCE I HAVE THAT ORDINANCE AND WE CAN SEND OUT SOME OF THE INFORMATION, MAYBE CONTACT HIM IS WE CAN WORK ON A DRAFT ORDINANCE TO MAYBE BRING BACK AT THE NEXT PARKS MEETING AND SEE IF THAT CAPTURES WHAT YOU'D LIKE US TO THEN SEND ON TO CITY COUNCIL.
I THINK IT SHOULD BE, I MEAN A, A CITY THIS SMALL IS, IT IS SMALL ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO MAKE CHANGES LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT GETS TOO BIG
SO IF WE'RE GONNA DO IT, IT'S GOTTA GET DONE.
NOW I THINK THE BIGGEST THING IS THE SOLUTION.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE JUST WHAT IS THE BIGGEST SOLUTION? AND THEN KEEP THE STUDIES LIKE REALISTIC.
'CAUSE THEY CAN GET REALLY IN DEPTH WHEN YOU'RE, YOU, IT'S, WE GOTTA KIND OF KEEP IT IN REASON, BUT A GOOD STARTING POINT FOR HIM.
SAY, CAN WE GET LIKE A BASIC VERSION? YEAH.
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT THAT IS.
RICHARD, HAS THERE BEEN ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT THE LEGISLATURE? HAVE THEY, UH, THOUGHT ABOUT ROLLING SOME OF THAT STUFF BACK OR NOT? I KNEW THERE WAS CONTACT ABOUT THAT BEFORE.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S RESENDING ANY OF THOSE REGULATIONS THEY'VE MADE BEFORE.
OH, WE CONTINUE TO FIGHT TO, TO TRY TO GET THAT.
UM, HAS ANY PROGRESS BEEN MADE? NO.
UH, IT'S A LOT OF MONEY CHANGED HANDS IN THAT ASPECT.
AND I'M NOT SAYING IT'S A CORRUPTION ASPECT.
UM, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT MY BASIS.
UM, I'M JUST SAYING THAT THERE'S, THERE IS A, AND IT'S WHAT DRIVES, IT'S WHAT MOVES.
AND YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT A HEINZ DEVELOPMENT THAT'S THOUSANDS OF ACRES AND THOUSANDS OF HOMES, UM, AND YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S, THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO PUSH IT FORWARD AND THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE BEHIND THEM AND, UH, I FORGET THE WORD, BUT IT'S THE, THE, ANYWAY, UM, FRUSTRATING.
UM, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY HAVE, WHILE THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE, THE EFFECTS OF WHAT IT AFFECTS ON A, ON A LARGER SCALE, THEY'RE NOT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE EFFECTS THAT IT HAS ON THE LARGER, ON A SMALLER SCALE FOR CITIES LIKE US, WHICH ARE POTENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE PROGRESSIVELY GROWING IN A RAPID PACE, BUT YOU'VE GOT CITIES LIKE SIMONTON AND SEALY THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE
[00:40:01]
A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT IF YOU'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, LANDOWNERS THAT ARE GONNA END UP, END UP DOING THAT.I DESPISE THAT WORD SO MUCH THAT I FORGET IT ALL THE TIME.
WELL, AND I THINK WE TALK ABOUT IT SO OFTEN, TREES AND WILDLIFE AND TRYING TO KEEP, YOU KNOW, THE, THE ASPECTS WE ALL MOVED OR LIVE HERE FOR.
BUT I ALSO THINK WE CAN, IF WE CAN'T CREATE THE LAWS, IF WE CAN'T, YOU KNOW, HAVE IT THAT FINITE, THE POLITICAL PRESSURE OF FULL SURE WOULD LIKE YOU TO ADHERE BY THIS.
AT LEAST WE'RE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING AND WE HAVE SOMETHING AS A CITY THAT'S PUT IN PLACE.
UM, BECAUSE AGAIN, IF WE'RE NOT GONNA DO IT, WHO IS TIME? WELL, AND KELSEY, I'VE UM, ONE OF THE PEOPLE I SPOKE TO SPOKEN TO A LOT OF PEOPLE ABOUT THIS SAID THAT SOME OF THE SMALLER CITIES AS THEY WERE GROWING MADE A MISSION STATEMENT FOR THE CITY.
AND THEY SAID THIS IS THE, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE WOULD LIKE OUR CITY TO LOOK LIKE.
AND IT WAS A FEW SENTENCES AND WELL WORDED.
AND SO WHEN DEVELOPERS CAME IN THEY SAID, OKAY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT WE'LL TRY TO LIVE UP TO.
I DON'T KNOW, JUST THOUGHT YES, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT'S SOMETIMES CAPTURED IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLANS AS WELL.
AND I KNOW THAT WE ARE GETTING READY TO DO AN UPDATE TO THAT EITHER IN 27, UM, I BELIEVE IS WHEN THAT WOULD KICK OFF.
AND SO THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING, UM, TO ALSO LOOK AT.
SOME OF THAT STUFF ALREADY IN PLACE.
THE PROBLEM IS THE LEGISLATURE CAME THROUGH AND CHANGED ALL THE, THE RULES AND NOW WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
IT'S TOTALLY WELL, BUT YOU CAN STILL TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU'D LIKE THE CITY, WE CAN CITY TO LOOK LIKE, TALK ABOUT IT.
BUT THE LEGISLATURE'S GIVING THE LANDOWNERS EVERYTHING THAT THEY WANT.
AND IT'S THE LANDOWNERS THAT ARE SELLING, THAT ARE COMPLAINING NOW ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING.
AND THE WAY THINGS LOOK NOW ON MY SOAPBOX, I'M SORRY, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BOTHERED ME FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS THAT THEY DON'T CARE ENOUGH THAT TO SELL RESPONSIBLY.
LOOK KENT, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS AFTER.
DO YOU, DO YOU LOOK AT WHO'S BUYING YOUR HOUSE BEFORE YOU BUY IT? NO.
UM, ANYTHING ELSE ON THE WILDLIFE STUDY? NOPE.
[Business – G]
5G MONTHLY PARKS AND RECREATION BUDGET, FINANCIAL REPORT, DISCUSSION OF ANY QUESTIONS THE COMMISSION MAY HAVE REGARDING SPECIFIC LINE ITEMS AND LEAH'S NOT HERE.SO DOES ANYBODY ELSE WANT
[Business – H]
ITEM FIVE H ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST KEEP FULL.BEAUTIFUL EVENT ON APRIL 25TH, 2026.
UM, JUST A REMINDER, IT WILL BE AT THE IRENE STERN NINE O'CLOCK.
UM, VOLUNTEERED FOR MEET AT 9:00 AM ON THE 25TH AND PICK UP SOME SUPPLIES AND T-SHIRTS, GRAB A SNACK.
UM, WE WILL HAVE ELECTRONIC RECYCLING AND ALSO REPLANT THE, UM, POLLINATOR GARDEN AT THE IRENE STERN.
AND WE'LL SEE IF WE HAVE ANY LEFTOVER TREES FROM THE TREE GIVEAWAY.
WE MIGHT PLANT SOME ALONG PENN LANE TOO.
AND WE MIGHT TALK ABOUT THE MARCH 13TH.
YES, I'D BE HAPPY TO AS PROMISED.
UH, SO DID WANT TO ALSO MAKE YOU AWARE, IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, THAT WE WILL BE HOSTING OUR INAUGURAL, UH, WATER CONSERVATION DAY.
IT'LL BE MARCH 13TH AT, UM, BETWEEN 10 AND TWO, UM, AT THE DOWNTOWN WATER PLANT.
SO THE ONE NEAR HUGGINS, UH, ELEMENTARY.
UM, SO THIS WAS POSSIBLE THROUGH A GRANT THROUGH KEEP TEXAS BEAUTIFUL THROUGH OUR AFFILIATE KFB.
SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER, UM, WHILE SUPPLIES ARE AVAILABLE, SOME RAINWATER BARRELS AS WELL AS SOME WATER, SOIL MOISTURE METERS.
UM, AND WE ARE GONNA HAVE SOME OTHER VENDORS THERE.
UH, WE HAVE NORTH FORT BEND WATER AUTHORITY THAT'S GONNA COME OUT THE FORT BEND SUBSIDENCE DISTRICT.
UM, AND LOOKING FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO MIGHT HAVE A CONNECTION TO WATER CONSERVATION.
WE CAN DEFINITELY ASK ABOUT HAVING, UM, MAYBE A TABLE OR MATERIALS ABOUT THE PARK SPONSORSHIPS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP.
BUT, UH, WOULD HOPEFULLY LOOK FORWARD IF WE CAN CONTINUE TO GET THE GRANT, UM, AND SOME MORE SUPPORT.
WE'LL LOOK INTO MAKING THAT AN ANNUAL EVENT.
AND NORTH FOR BEND WATER AUTHORITY HAS A WONDERFUL INTERACTIVE, THEY DO COMING OUT TO KEEP CULTURE BEAUTIFUL EVENTS FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS AND, UM, IT'S, IT'S PRETTY COOL.
THEY SHOW YOU HOW YOUR WATER SYSTEM WORKS AND YOU WALK THROUGH THE TRUCK.
IT'S REALLY, IT'S A COOL TRUCK.
I KNOW IT'S GEARED FOR CHILDREN, BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.
ONE THING I WAS GONNA ASK WITH THE COMMUNITY INTEREST ITEMS WE'VE ASKED IN THE PAST FOR LIKE BUSINESS CARDS OR THINGS OF THAT SORT, WHICH I KNOW IS A BUDGETARY CONCERN, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL IF WE WERE AT LEAST ABLE TO GET JUST LIKE NAME TAGS, LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE MAGNETIC ONES THAT JUST SAY YOUR NAME AND SAY WHAT YOUR ROLE IS SO THAT IF WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE AT THESE EVENTS AND THEY'RE
[00:45:01]
TALKING ABOUT PRIMROSE OR THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SPONSORSHIP PACKETS, FOLKS KNOW, OH LOOK, THEY'RE ON PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION.THAT'S WHY I SHOULD LISTEN TO WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.
I THINK OFTEN AS YOU KNOW, UM, JUST RESIDENTS, FOLKS, YOU KNOW, LISTEN TO WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY.
BUT YOU KNOW, A NAME TAG A LITTLE BADGE MAKES YOU SO MUCH MORE OFFICIAL.
AND I KNOW LIKE SHIRTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT AREN'T IN THE BUDGET, BUT I MEAN, THOSE THINGS AREN'T THAT EXPENSIVE TO JUST CREATE, IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING NICE WHEN YOU JOIN THE COMMISSION, YOU GET THE BADGE IF YOU'RE ACTING IN THAT CAPACITY, YOU PUT THE LITTLE NAME TAG ON AND IT'S AN EASY WAY TO GET CREDIBILITY.
AND I BELIEVE EVERY JUNE IS WHEN THE APPOINTMENTS ARE RENEWED.
SO WE MIGHT LOOK AT EVERY JUNE MAKING SURE WE HAVE AN ANNUAL PURCHASE OF THOSE.
UH, THE OTHER ITEM I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE AWARE IS OUR PARKS AND REC COMMISSION IS ON FEBRUARY 17TH, CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
UH, THERE WILL BE OUR BOND COUNCIL AND OUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS WILL BE PRESENTING TO THE CITY COUNCIL ABOUT ACTUALLY SELLING THE BONDS FOR PRIMROSE PARK PHASE THREE AND PARKLAND ACQUISITION.
SO THAT'S PART OF THE NEXT STEP TO ACTUALLY GET THOSE FUNDS READY SO WE CAN PAY FOR ALL THAT CONSTRUCTION OF, UM, PRIMROSES PARK PHASE THREE AND ALSO START ACTUALLY ACQUIRING SOME PARK LAND.
BECAUSE WHEN THE VOTERS APPROVED THE BOND, THEY WERE APPROVING AN AMOUNT, BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO SELL THEM IN ORDER TO GET THE DOLLARS IN ORDER TO DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.
IT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT'S, YOU DON'T BUY, YOU DON'T SELL 'EM ALL THE TIME.
SO WHEN SHE SAYS SELL 'EM, IT IT, IT'S PART OF THE PROCESS.
SO THEY'LL GO OUT NOW WHAT THE MARKET, WHAT ARE THE ANTICIPATED INTEREST RATES THAT WE THINK WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET, UM, HOW THAT MIGHT AFFECT, AFFECT THE DIFFERENT RATES AND SUCH.
SO IT'S PART OF OUR STANDARD PROCESS THAT'LL GO TO COUNCIL.
JUST SO THAT THE MONEY'S ACTUALLY THERE NOW THAT WE'RE READY.
YOU DON'T WANNA ISSUE THEM TOO EARLY BECAUSE THEN YOU'RE PAYING INTEREST AND IT'S JUST SITTING THERE UHHUH.
SO YOU WAIT A LITTLE BIT UNTIL YOU'RE ACTUALLY READY TO START PAYING IT.
VERY FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE TO WAIT TO DO THAT UNTIL YOU NEED THE MONEY.
OTHERWISE YOU'RE PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE NOT USING.
UM, OKAY, ANY MORE COMMUNITY INTEREST ITEMS? ITEM
[Business – I]
FIVE I FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS, DISCUSSION OF FUTURE PARKS AND RECREATION RELATED TOPICS.ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING THEY'D LIKE TO ADD? WE DID TALK ABOUT POTENTIALLY MOVING MARCH'S MEETING BASED OFF OF SPRING BREAK.
SO WOULD THE FOLLOWING WEEK WORK? I THINK THE ORIGINAL DATE IS THE 13TH.
SO IT'D BE THE 20TH IS WHICH, YEAH, JUST WHENEVER THE SCHOOLS ARE NOT OUT.
'CAUSE WHEN THE SCHOOLS ARE OUT, EVERYBODY'S GONE.
YEAH, I WAS GONNA SAY LIKE WHICH WEEK IS ACTUALLY SPRING BREAK? IS IT UH, IT IS THE NINTH THROUGH THE 13TH IS THE NINTH THROUGH 13TH.
SO DOES THE 20TH WORK BETTER? I THINK SO.
IF ANYBODY'S CELEBRATING
AND THEN ALSO IN APRIL, UM, PARKS, NOT PARKS PLANNING AND ZONING, UM, ISN'T HAPPENING THAT FIRST FRIDAY BECAUSE OF GOOD FRIDAY.
AND SO WE CAN EITHER MOVE APRIL'S MEETING TO THE 17TH OR WE CAN HAVE OUR MEETING IN THE HR TRAINING ROOM IN THE BUILDING ON THE 10TH.
WASN'T SURE IF THERE WAS A PREFERENCE.
HOW DO WE GET KICKED OUT ALL THE TIME?
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING, YOU KNOW.
WELL THEN THEY NEED TO MOVE BECAUSE WE'RE IN HERE
IT'S ACTUALLY THE SECOND WEEK OF APRIL, ISN'T IT? NOT THE FIRST WEEK OF APRIL.
THEY'RE USUALLY, THEY'RE USUALLY THE FIRST.
BUT BECAUSE IT'S GOOD FRIDAY ON THE DAY THEY WOULD MEET, UM, THAT DOES PUSH US TYPICALLY DOWN.
WELL IF WE MOVE MARCH IS ONE WEEK LATER.
I MEAN WHY NOT MOVE APRIL'S ONE WEEK LATER? IT'LL KEEP US IN SUCCESSION.
SO IT WOULD BE FOUR APRIL 17TH.
YES, WE WOULD MOVE IT TO THAT.
ANY CONFLICTS I'M MIGHT BE DOWNTOWN THE 20TH, MARCH 20TH.
OKAY, WELL, WE'LL GET THOSE MOVED THEN.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? MOVE WE ADJOURN.
