          TRYING TO MAKE 
          [00:00:01]
IT ONE OF THOSE PLACES WHERE YOU CAN JUST GO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY MONEY TO BE THERE. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'VE ALREADY DONE THAT JUST BY BEING A CITIZEN AND JUST HAVE A PLACE TO EXIST WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY MORE MONEY, WHICH IS A THING THAT'S VERY RARE THESE DAYS. 
          I THINK ONE OF THE BIG THINGS FOR ME IS WHEN I STARTED DOING PROGRAMS WITH TEENS AND KIDS AND ADULTS. 
          SO ALL AGES PROGRAMS, AND A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH, UH, INTERACTING WITH THESE TEAMS, WITH THESE KIDS. 
          AND I THINK THE BIGGEST THING WAS HEARING FROM PARENTS THAT THEY'RE JUST SO HAPPY THAT I'M HERE GETTING THE KIDS OFF THE COMPUTER, TALKING TO OTHER TEENS, INTERACTING, UM, YEAH, ACTIVE LIKE SOCIALLY  WELL, NANCY, UH, KEITH CLIFF LOOKS GREAT ON HIS EXAM TODAY. 
          WE CAN, UH, TAKE HIM UP FRONT AND GET HIM ALL CHECKED OUT. 
          AND WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE, JESSICA CAN TALK TO YOU ABOUT GETTING HIM REGISTERED WITH THE CITY OF KYLE. 
          OH, GREAT. 
          WELL THANK YOU. 
          I REALLY DIDN'T REALIZE THEY NEEDED TO BE REGISTERED WITH THE CITY. 
          ACTUALLY, ALL THE PETS THAT LIVE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS SHOULD BE REGISTERED WITH THE CITY OF KYLE. 
          THERE'S ACTUALLY AN ORDINANCE WITH THE CITY THAT REQUIRES IT. 
          UM, BUT JESSICA CAN HELP YOU TAKE CARE OF THAT WHEN YOU GET HIM UP FRONT. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          NO PROBLEM. 
          YOU WOULD HAVE MY, UH, INVOICE AND INFORMATION ON HOW TO REGISTER HEATH CLUB WITH THE CITY OF KYLE. 
          YES MA'AM. 
          SO I HAVE YOUR INVOICE RIGHT HERE, AND THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR STATE REGISTERED FORM. 
          EVERYTHING'S FILLED OUT FOR YOU. 
          SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO THROUGH AND MAKE SURE IT'S CORRECT AND THEN INITIAL AND SIGN THEM HERE. 
          AND WE'LL SEND THAT INTO THE CITY AND GET IT REGISTERED WITH THEM. 
          THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR TASK AND THE CITY WORKS WITH PET HUB NOW FOR THESE TASKS. 
          SO THEY'RE EASIER FOR PETS TO FIND THEIR FAMILIES IF THEY GET LOST. 
          WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          NO PROBLEM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY. 
          OKAY. 
          YOU ARE ALL REGISTERED ON PET HUB. 
          HOW EASY WAS THAT? I JOINED THE ARMY TO SUPPORT MY FAMILY AND I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING THAT I FELT MATTERED. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT THE MILITARY GAVE ME A SENSE OF IMPORTANCE. 
          BEING A MILITARY FAMILY IS CHALLENGING BECAUSE YOU TOTALLY HAVE TO PICK UP FROM WHAT YOU KNOW, AND START SOMEWHERE NEW. 
          WE HAVE BEEN SENT LOVE SUPERHEROES, AND THEN WE HAVE SCARLET SHE'S 10 MONTHS OLD. 
          SHE JUST LOVES TO MAKE EVERYBODY LAUGH. 
          SO WE KNOW SHE'S GOING TO BE A CHARACTER. 
          WHEN I JOINED THE MILITARY, I DIDN'T THINK THAT I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR WIC, BUT ONE OF MY NTLS TOLD ME THAT HE WAS IN THE WIC PROGRAM AND HE HAS TWO KIDS. 
          SO I IMMEDIATELY WENT AND APPLIED CAUSE WE NEEDED THE HELP. 
          IT REALLY HELPS OUT FINANCIALLY. 
          ALL THE STAFF AT WIC HAS ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL REALLY COMFORTABLE. 
          THEY OFFERED CLASSES, NUTRITIONAL CLASSES OR COOKING CLASSES. 
          AND I ATTENDED MULTIPLE BREASTFEEDING CLASSES. 
          WHEN AUSTIN WAS GONE ON DEPLOYMENT, I WAS REALLY SCARED AND ALONE. 
          [00:05:01]
SO GOING TO THOSE BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT CLASSES AT WIC REALLY HELPED BECAUSE THEY'RE SUCH CARING AND SUPPORTING WOMEN. 
          IT REALLY HELPED ME GET THROUGH IT TODAY. 
          BEING IN THE WIC PROGRAM, IT'S BEEN REALLY BENEFICIAL TO OUR FAMILY, APPLE, PUMPKIN CON AUDIT DELICIOUS AMERICAN CLASSICS. 
          BUT HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED THAT HISTORY OF THE SWEET DESSERT THAT WE ALL WISH FOLLOWED EVERY FAMILY MEAL TO LEARN MORE ABOUT PIE? WE WILL HAVE TO LOOK WAY, WAY, WAY BACK. 
          EARLIEST REFERENCE TO A PIE WAS THE RECIPE FOR CHICKEN PIE WRITTEN ON A TABLET IN SUMMARY SOMETIME BEFORE 2000 BC, SOME OF THESE ANCIENT PIES WERE ENJOYED SO MUCH THAT THEY CAN BE FOUND PAINTED ON THE WALLS AND TOMBS AS SEEN WITH PHARAOH RAMSES. 
          THE SECOND WE RULED FROM 1,304 BC TO 1,237 BC. 
          THESE PAINTINGS WERE THE ONLY ART INSPIRED BY PODS. 
          IN THE FIFTH CENTURY BC, THEY WERE MENTIONED AS A PIE LIKE FOOD, IT PARIS ROCKS. 
          AND THESE PLAYS, THESE PIES ARE, WERE NOT LIKE THE PODS THAT WE KNOW OF TODAY. 
          MOST OF THEM WEREN'T DESIGNED TO BE DESSERTS, BUT RATHER MEALS THAT WERE STUFFED WITH A VARIETY OF MEATS. 
          SOME THEORIZE, WE CALL THEM PIES TODAY AFTER THE BIRD POT, WHICH GATHERS MANY DIFFERENT MATERIALS FOR ITS NEST. 
          ALSO THE MAGPIE WAS KNOWN TO BE STUFFED IN THE MANY OF THESE MEAT PIES. 
          BACK IN THE DAY, THESE EARLIER PIES WERE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS CONFERENCE CORRECTLY, TRANSLATED MEANING BASKET IN MEDIEVAL TIMES, NOT MANY COOKS COULD AFFORD TO CONSTRUCT OF IT IS IT'S PIES WERE EASY TO COOK OVER AN OPEN FLAME  HEY, Y'ALL KIM HILSON MC HERE WITH THE CITY OF KYLE I'M OUT HERE ON THE FIRST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THIS BIG EMANCIPATE TRAILER BEHIND ME EMANCIPET IS A LOW COST SPAY NEUTER SURGERY CLINIC. 
          THAT IS MOBILE.

          AND THEY DO LOW-COST SPAY AND NEUTER SURGERIES. 
          AND WE WANTED TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW ABOUT IT.

          YOU CAN REGISTER AND SIGN UP TO GET YOUR PET SPAYED OR NEUTERED.

          SO WE HOPE YOU'LL CHECK THEM OUT. 
          AND WE WANT TO ALSO INTRODUCE YOU TO US. 
          TWO OTHER FOLKS WHO ARE HERE WITH ME TODAY.

          AND WHO DO WE HAVE HERE? MY HEIGHT IS, BUT MINE IS, DIDN'T GET THE SURGERY TODAY.

          OKAY, AWESOME. 
          SO AGAIN, IT'S A PET OUT OF WORK. 
          AND TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY YOU CHOSE A MAN'S BETTER THAN HOW YOU EVEN FOUND OUT ABOUT IT. 
          I FOUND OUT THROUGH SOME OTHER LOCAL PEOPLE, THEY ARE CHEAP, BUT THEY'RE GOOD. 
          THEY REALLY CARE FOR THEIR ANIMALS. 
          SO I REALLY DO RECOMMEND THEM FOR ANYBODY THAT NEEDS ANY TYPE OF STAY IN SURGERY. 
          ALL RIGHT, FOLKS, YOU JUST HEARD FROM ASHLEY AND HER HELP OR MIDAS EMANCIPATE WILL BE IN KYLE ON THE FIRST TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH, YOU CAN CHECK THEM OUT@EMANCIPET.ORG. 
          AND WE WILL CHECK IN WITH Y'ALL SEE, SOON 
          [00:10:11]
KYLE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES USE NEARLY 4 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER EACH DAY FOR EVERYTHING FROM BATHING, COOKING AND DRINKING, JUST SWIMMING AND IRRIGATION. 
          MOST PEOPLE JUST ASSUME THE WATER WILL TURN ON WHEN THEY RUN THE TAP. 
          BUT DON'T THINK ABOUT HOW IT GOT THERE. 
          HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHERE YOUR WATER COMES FROM? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED OR HOW IT'S TREATED BEFORE IT GETS TO YOUR HOME DRIVE IN AND AROUND ALMOST EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE WATER TOWERS DOTTING THE KYLE SKYLINE. 
          OUR WATER COMES FROM LAKE DUNLAP, WHICH FLOWS OUT FROM CANYON LAKE, NEAR NEW BRAUNFELS. 
          WE ALSO HAVE FIVE WELLS IN TOWN THAT DRAW WATER FROM THE EDWARDS AQUIFER. 
          AND OUR USAGE IS BASED UPON PERMITS ISSUED BY GROUNDWATER AUTHORITIES. 
          THE WATER FROM THE LAKE IS CALLED SURFACE WATER. 
          AND THE WATER FROM THE WELLS IS CALLED GROUNDWATER. 
          THEY ARE BLENDED AND TREATED ONCE THEY GET INTO OUR WATER SYSTEM HERE IN KYLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, SOME OF OUR WATER WILL COME FROM THE CORISO AQUIFER IN LEE COUNTY THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ALLIANCE, REGIONAL WATER AUTHORITY. 
          BUT FOR NOW THE WATER SUPPLY IS THE SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER. 
          WE MENTIONED EARLIER. 
          OUR WATER SYSTEM IS MAINTAINED BY HIGHLY SKILLED AND TRAINED WATER OPERATORS WHO ARE LICENSED BY THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          THEIR JOB IS TO ADD THE RIGHT BLEND OF DISINFECTANT TO MAKE SURE THE WATER IS SAFE FOR DISTRIBUTION TO OUR CUSTOMERS. 
          WATER TREATMENT MAKES SURE THE WATER YOU USE DAILY IS CLEAN AND SAFE. 
          AFTER METICULOUS ROUNDS OF TESTING, WATER TRAVELS TO YOUR HOME THROUGH A COMPLEX SYSTEM OF UNDERGROUND PIPES. 
          ONCE IT CROSSES OVER FROM THE MAIN PIPES, IT ENTERS YOUR HOME WHERE YOU USE IT FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO AROUND YOUR HOUSE. 
          TURN ON THE TAP TO WASH VEGGIES, TAKE A SHOWER, FLUSH THE WATER YOUR GARDEN, OR MAKE A NICE CUP OF TEA. 
          EACH MONTH YOU RECEIVE A UTILITY BILL FROM THE CITY OF KYLE. 
          IT'S BROKEN DOWN INTO SEVERAL SECTIONS, DEPENDING ON THE UTILITY SERVICES YOU RECEIVE. 
          SOME CUSTOMERS RECEIVE WATER, WASTE, WATER AND TRASH SERVICE. 
          ALONG WITH THE STORMWATER UTILITY FEE, OTHERS RECEIVE ONLY WASTEWATER OR ONLY TRASH SERVICE. 
          LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR UTILITY BILL. 
          YOU'LL NOTICE SOMETHING CALLED A WATER MINIMUM CHARGE. 
          THIS IS THE FEE CHARGED BY THE WATER DEPARTMENT EACH MONTH. 
          IT IS A FIXED COST THAT HELPS PAY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS. 
          THE FEE ALSO PAYS FOR THE METER TECHS THAT READ YOUR WATER METER AND UTILITY STAFF THAT GENERATE THE BILLS. 
          THINK OF IT AS THE FUNDING MECHANISM FOR HOW THE WATER UTILITY OPERATES. 
          THE WATER USAGE FEE IS A DIFFERENT LINE ON YOUR BILL. 
          THAT IS THE RATE YOU PAY FOR EACH THOUSAND GALLONS OF WATER USED, MEANING WATER THAT RUNS THROUGH THE METER, OUTSIDE YOUR HOME IN KYLE, AS IN MANY OTHER CITIES, WE USE A TIERED RATE STRUCTURE TO ENCOURAGE CONSERVATION. 
          SO THE MORE YOU USE THE HIGHER THE RATE PER THOUSAND GALLONS, WHEN IT COMES TO THE WATER USAGE FEE, YOU AS THE CUSTOMER ARE IN CONTROL OF HOW MUCH WATER YOU USE. 
          SO EACH MONTH YOU CAN DECIDE TO MAKE A THOUSAND CUPS OF TEA, TAKE A HUNDRED SHOWERS, DRINK FOUR DOZEN GLASSES OF WATER OR IRRIGATE YOUR GARDEN FOR TWO HOURS A DAY. 
          JUST KNOW THAT THE MORE YOU USE THE HIGHER, THE RATE, ALL OF THE WATER THAT GOES DOWN THE DRAIN OR IS FLUSHED DOWN. 
          THE TOILET BECOMES WASTEWATER. 
          ONCE THE WASTEWATER LEAVES YOUR HOME, IT TRAVELS THROUGH A DIFFERENT SET OF PIPES TO OUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. 
          HERE IT IS TREATED THROUGH A MULTI-STEP PROCESS, TAKING OUT HARMFUL PARTICLES AND MAKING IT SAFE AND CLEAN TO BE PUT BACK INTO THE RIVERS AND STREAMS. OUR OUTFLOW FROM THE PLANT IS RELEASED INTO PLUM CREEK AND IS CONSTANTLY REGULATED BY THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY OR TCEQ. 
          TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT YOUR UTILITY BILL. 
          IF YOU RECEIVE WASTEWATER SERVICE FROM THE CITY, YOU WILL SEE THE SAME BASIC STRUCTURE AS THE WATER USAGE. 
          THERE IS A MONTHLY SERVICE FEE AND A RATE FOR USAGE. 
          SINCE THERE ARE NO METERS GOING OUT OF HOMES, THE RATE IS DETERMINED BY AVERAGING THREE MONTHS OF WATER USAGE BETWEEN DECEMBER AND FEBRUARY OF EACH YEAR. 
          WE USE THOSE MONTHS IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE THEY ARE WHEN MOST PEOPLE USE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF WATER. 
          SO HOW CAN YOU CONTROL COSTS ON YOUR UTILITY BILL? WE RECOMMEND INSTALLING LOW FLOW TOILETS AND SHOWER HEADS TURNING OFF WATER WHILE YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH, INSTALLING ENERGY AND WATER EFFICIENT APPLIANCES, RUNNING FULL DISHWASHERS INSTEAD OF HALF LOADS. 
          AND IN GENERAL, PAYING ATTENTION TO HOW YOU USE WATER AROUND YOUR HOME FIND AREAS WHERE YOU CAN PERSONALLY CUT BACK. 
          EVERY GALLON NOT USED WILL SAVE YOU MONEY, PARTICULARLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN THE USAGE IS AVERAGED. 
          IN ADDITION TO LOWERING YOUR COSTS, WATER CONSERVATION HAS THE BENEFIT OF BEING GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. 
          THE WATER WE USE FROM THE EDWARDS AQUIFER IS ALSO THE SAME SOURCE USED BY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS IN OUR REGION. 
          BY FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED WATERING SCHEDULE FOR IRRIGATION AND BY REDUCING WATER RUNOFF THAT IS WASTED. 
          [00:15:01]
YOU CAN SEE LOWER BILLS AND KNOW YOU'RE PROTECTING OUR MOST VALUABLE NATURAL RESOURCE. 
            HI, I'M BILL SMITH. 
          I'M THE STORE MANAGER HERE AT THE KYLE LIBRARY THRIFT SHOP. 
          AND I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE JANUARY. 
          WELL, WE'VE DONE A NUMBER OF THINGS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. 
          UM, ONE IS WE'VE ADDED A CREDIT CARD SYSTEM WHERE WE NOW ACCEPT CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS. 
          WE'VE EXPANDED THE STORE HOURS. 
          WE OPENED NOW AT NINE INSTEAD OF 10, AND THEN ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS WE'RE OPEN TILL SIX. 
          OTHER THAN THAT, WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE THE STORE AND CLEANED IT UP A LITTLE BIT. 
          THAT'S DONE A LITTLE BIT MORE ORGANIZING, UH, REPLACED THEM LIGHTING, UH, ADDED THE FURNITURE DEPARTMENT. 
          AND LIKE I SAID, JUST OVERALL, WE DID A LOT OF LITTLE THINGS TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF THE STORE. 
           WELL, WE'RE ACCEPTING MOST ANYTHING. 
          WE ACCEPT CLOTHING. 
          WE'VE SET UP HOUSEHOLD ITEMS. KNICK-KNACKS SMALL FURNITURE BOOKS, PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING. 
          HOUSEWARES HARDWARE, SMALL TABLES AND CHAIRS AND TABLES, COFFEE TABLES, NIGHTSTANDS. 
          AND YOU DON'T SAY SMALL DESKS, A LITTLE, EXCEPT ANY OF THE TYPE OF MERCHANDISE. 
          THE FUNDS WE GENERATE THROUGH THE SALE OF THOSE ITEMS GOES DIRECTLY TO THE KYLE PUBLIC LIBRARY AND SUPPORTS ALL OF THEIR PROGRAMS.  I'M DOING A LITTLE SIDE JOB. 
          SO I'M LOOKING LIKE A SECOND HAND AS TO WHERE THEY'RE COMFORTABLE IF THEY'VE USED MY GROUP PAN. 
          SO PRETTY MUCH. 
          AND THEN WHILE I'M HERE EXCEPT FOR MY GRANDKIDS. 
          SO LOT BETTER, IT'S MORE LIGHTED, BIGGER, ORGANIZED, CLEAN. 
          I'D REALLY LIKE TO THANK THE CONFERENCE BOARD THAT THEY'RE SHOWING THE STORE AND THE SPORT THAT THEY ARE IN FACT GIVING TO THE LIBRARY, BECAUSE THE FUNDS THAT WE GENERATE HERE ARE SUPPORTING PROGRAMS, UPDATE KYLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. 
          AND WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGES WE MAKE HERE AT THE STORE. 
          MY NAME'S PAUL FALLON, I'M THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR HERE FOR THE CITY OF KYLE. 
          SO AS WE THINK OF PROGRAMMINGS, NOT JUST LIKE PROGRAMS, WHEREIN PEOPLE ARE DOING SOMETHING FOR CHILDREN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT, BUT I THINK OF IT IN A BROADER CONTEXT. 
          AND SO YES, THEY PROVIDE FUNDING FOR A LOT OF PROGRAMS THAT WE DO. 
          IT MAY JUST BE THE CRAFT SUPPLIES THAT WE HAVE OR PAY FOR PERFORMERS, OCCASIONALLY DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO THEY WILL DO LOTS OF THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          THEY ALSO PROVIDE A LOT OF FUNDING, NO, FOR THINGS THAT WE DON'T HAVE IN THE BUDGET. 
          AND WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE A BUNCH OF BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK IN THE CHILDREN'S SUPPORT THAT WE DID NOT HAVE IN THE BUDGET. 
          AND WE WANTED TO UPGRADE THE CHILDREN'S APARTMENT. 
          WE WANTED THE KIDS TO FEEL LIKE A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE WHEN THEY COME TO THE LIBRARY. 
          SO THEY WANT TO COME HERE, CREATE A DESTINATION, A PLACE TO GO. 
          AND OF COURSE THE FRIENDS HELPED US PURCHASE THAT. 
          AND WE HAD SOME EDUCATIONAL MANIPULATIVES THAT WE PUT ON THE WALL AND THE CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT THAT, OF COURSE WE DIDN'T HAVE IN OUR BUDGET. 
          AND OF COURSE YOU CAN PROBABLY HEAR CHILDREN OVER THERE RIGHT NOW. 
          YOU CAN HEAR HIM PLAYING OVER THERE RIGHT NOW, BUT THEY'RE EDUCATIONAL IN NATURE TOO. 
          THEY'RE FUN, BUT THEY'RE EDUCATIONAL. 
          SO THEY PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR ALL KINDS OF THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          I'M JANE KIRKHAM AND I'M ON THE BOARD OF THE FRIENDS, THE KYLE LIBRARY AND THE FRIENDS OF THE KYLE LIBRARY BOARD IS DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING THE KYLE LIBRARY. 
          THE MONEY WE RAISE THROUGH THE SALES HERE AT THE THRIFT SHOP, DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE LIBRARY.

          THIS WAS THE HUB OF TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNICATION, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

          WE'RE HERE AT THE CITY OF KYLE CERTIFIED BRADY COMMITTEE TO WELCOME YOU INTO OUR CERTIFIED FAMILY. 
          SO WELCOME. 
          COOL. 
          TELL US A LITTLE BIT, SO ONE OF THE TOUGHEST THINGS WE DO AS A FINANCIAL ADVISING AND FINANCIAL PLANNING IS THIS TREND IS STILL DOWN SOME REALLY COMPLICATED TOPICS. 
          SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS CREATED A, WHAT WE CALL A PORTFOLIO PIE RECIPE THAT WE GIVE TO ALL THE CLIENTS IN THE FIRST APPOINTMENT, THEY GO HOME WITH IT IN THEIR FIRST APPOINTMENT PACKET. 
          AND IT TALKS ABOUT HOW REALLY BUILDING A PORTFOLIO IS LIKE BAKING A PIE. 
          YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS AND ALL THE RIGHT PROPORTIONS. 
          AND WE SEE A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE MAYBE HAVE, UM, UH, WHAT THEY THINK IS A PIE AND REALLY IT'S INSTEAD OF THE KIND OF PIE, IT'S MORE LIKE A BOWL OF A CONS. 
          AND SHOULD WE DO A LITTLE BIT OF EDUCATION ABOUT WHAT IT TAKES TO, UH, TO REALLY BAKE A GOOD PIE? SO THAT'S OUR PORTFOLIO PIRACY. 
          AWESOME. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          SO AS PART OF OUR CERTIFIED FAMILY, WE HAVE SOME COOL SWAG FOR YOU. 
          COOL. 
          SO HERE'S YOUR OFFICIAL CERTIFICATES AND YOUR OFFICIAL CERTIFIED STICKER. 
           THE COURT IS ASSESSABLE TO THE CITIZENS OF, OF THE KYLE COMMUNITY ALL DURING THE WEEK, BUT ON WEDNESDAYS, A COURT IS ACTUALLY BEING HELD ON THE BENCH AND WE FREQUENTLY CALL IT WALK-IN WEDNESDAY, WHERE WE WANT OUR CITIZENS TO KNOW WHETHER OUR WALK-IN WEDNESDAY PROGRAM IS THAT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE WARRANTS AND HAVE DEALINGS WITH THE COURT THAT NOT TO FEEL AS IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE ARRESTED ONCE YOU APPROACH THE COURT OR COME INTO THE COURT. 
          SO WHAT WE WANT TO ESTABLISH IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITIZENS KNOW THAT OUR FIRST OBLIGATION IS TRY TO SATISFY THIS JUDGMENT AND WE'RE BOUND TO DO SO. 
          AND WHEN I SAY WE'RE BOUND TO DO SO, WE'RE OBLIGATED TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION OR A PLAN TO TRY TO GET A DISPOSITION TO YOUR CASE. 
          SO CONSEQUENTLY, IF YOU ACTUALLY COME IN IN PERSON AND GET THESE TAKEN CARE OF, WE CAN TURN OFF THOSE WARRANTS IMMEDIATELY AND THEN TAKEN AWAY THE RISK OF ACTUALLY GOING TO JAIL. 
          BUT WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO IS WE CAN EXTEND THEM TIME TO PAY. 
          WE CAN GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE AND MAKE THAT NEGOTIATION AND COME UP WITH A PLAN. 
          THAT AGAIN, THAT IS REASONABLE TO SATISFY YOUR OBLIGATION AND REASONABLE FOR THE CITIZEN TO TAKE CARE OF IT. 
          [00:35:04]
I JOINED THE ARMY TO SUPPORT MY FAMILY, AND I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING THAT I FELT MATTERED. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT THE MILITARY GAVE ME A SENSE OF IMPORTANCE. 
          BEING A MILITARY FAMILY IS CHALLENGING BECAUSE YOU TOTALLY HAVE TO PICK UP FROM WHAT YOU KNOW, AND START SOMEWHERE NEW. 
          WE HAVE BEEN SENT LOVE SUPERHEROES, AND THEN WE HAVE SCARLET SHE'S 10 MONTHS OLD. 
          SHE JUST LOVES TO MAKE EVERYBODY LAUGH. 
          SO WE KNOW SHE'S GOING TO BE A CHARACTER. 
          WHEN I JOINED THE MILITARY, I DIDN'T THINK THAT I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR WIC, BUT ONE OF MY ENTAILS TOLD ME THAT HE WAS IN THE WIC PROGRAM AND HE HAS TWO KIDS. 
          SO I IMMEDIATELY WENT AND APPLIED. 
          IT REALLY HELPS OUT FINANCIALLY. 
          ALL THE STAFF AT WIC HAS ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL REALLY COMFORTABLE. 
          THEY OFFERED CLASSES, NUTRITIONAL CLASSES, OR COOKING CLASSES. 
          AND I ATTENDED MULTIPLE BREASTFEEDING CLASSES. 
          WHEN AUSTIN WAS GONE ON DEPLOYMENT, I WAS REALLY SCARED AND ALONE. 
          SO GOING TO THOSE BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT CLASSES AT WIC REALLY HELPED BECAUSE THEY'RE SUCH CARING AND SUPPORTING WOMEN. 
          IT REALLY HELPED ME GET THROUGH IT BEING IN THE WIC PROGRAM, IT'S BEEN REALLY BENEFICIAL TO OUR FAMILY  . 
          AND, UH, SPEAKING OF LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS WHERE SOME OF THOSE RESOURCES COULD BE HEADING AND MOVE ON TO A PRESENTATION FROM ANNE COLEMAN REGARDING LANDSCAPE DESIGN FOR MARY KYLE HARTSON CITY SQUARE PARK. 
          UH, I ASKED ANNE IF SHE WOULD COME AND DO A PRESENTATION BASED ON WHERE SHE'S AT, SINCE WE AUTHORIZE HER TO START THE DESIGN WORK FOR, UH, MARY KYLE HARTSON PARK, UH, AND THE SQUARE IN PARTICULAR. 
          AND SHE GAVE ME A SNEAK PREVIEW THE OTHER DAY. 
          I'M NOT THE ONE ON THE TASK FORCE, SO I DIDN'T HAVE THE INPUT ON THE DESIGN, BUT ANNE HAS BEEN WORKING HARD. 
          UH, AND I THOUGHT THAT BECAUSE WE WERE RECEIVING THE CHECK, UH, WHICH IF COUNCIL IS TO CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD, FUNDING THE PROJECT THROUGH THESE SETTLEMENT DOLLARS, UH, THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR, UH, FOR ANN TO SHOW US JUST THE VERY BEGINNING CONCEPTS THAT SHE'S WORKING ON FOR HOW SHE MIGHT BE LOOKING AT THE, UH, THE SQUARE FOR DESIGN. 
          AND I THINK SHE'S GOT A LOT OF GOOD THINGS TO SAY. 
          SO WITH THAT, I WILL YIELD THE FLOOR TO AN, UH, FOR A BRIEF PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AND CITY STAFF, AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT'S ON THE PHONE CALL. 
          WE ARE MORE THAN DELIGHTED TO BE WITH YOU TONIGHT. 
          AND VERY EXCITED AS MAYOR TRAVIS SAID, TO SHOW YOU THE BEGINNINGS OF WHAT WE THINK WILL BE AN INCREDIBLE ASSET AND REJUVENATOR AND FACILITATOR OF COMMUNITY IN YOUR, IN YOUR, IN YOUR COMMUNITY, RIGHT IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN. 
          SO WITH THAT, JOSE IS A PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE PROJECT WHO HAS PUT TOGETHER A BEAUTIFUL DOCUMENT WILL KICK US OFF ON THIS PRESENTATION. 
          WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE IS THE OVERALL SITE PLAN OF THE SQUARE WITH CENTER STREET AT THE NORTH AND BURLESON TO OUR WEST MAIN TO THE EAST AND MILLER STREET TO THE SOUTH. 
          THE EXISTING 
          [00:40:01]
FEATURES OF THE PARK ARE OF COURSE, THE OLD CITY HALL, WHICH IS NOW THE SENIOR ACTIVITY CENTER, BECAUSE ZIBO TO THE SOUTHEAST, THE EXISTING FOUNTAIN. 
          AND THERE ARE SOME HISTORIC, UH, BENCHES PICNIC TABLES THAT ARE ONSITE THAT WILL BE REMAINING AS WELL. 
          UH, THE DIAGONAL CROSSWALKS THAT ARE EXISTING TODAY ARE PRESENTLY FOUR FEET WIDE. 
          WE ARE PROPOSING THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE HISTORIC DESIGNATED, UH, AMENITIES. 
          WE ARE PROPOSING AND HOPEFULLY CAN GET APPROVAL AND SOME SUPPORT TO WIDEN THEM TO SIX FEET. 
          WHY PRIMARILY FOR ADA ACCESS ADA ACCESS, WHICH IS A FEDERAL MANDATE REQUIRES THAT THE MOVEMENT FOR A WHEELCHAIR IS THREE FEET WIDE. 
          SO AT THEIR PRESENT WITH THE FOUR FEET WIDE, THAT ONLY ENABLES A WHEELCHAIR ALONE TO TRAVEL, WHICH IS, IT'S NOT THE SPIRIT OF THAT LAW. 
          THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW IS THAT YOU COULD HAVE A COMPANION WALKING SIDE BY SIDE WITH YOU. 
          SO YOU'RE NOT SEPARATED FROM THE OTHER PEDESTRIAN. 
          SO FOR THAT REASON ALONE, 60 FEET WIDE, WE THINK WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER FACILITATOR OF MOVEMENT THROUGH THE PARK. 
          AND AGAIN, IT'S HISTORIC AND IN ITS NATURE. 
          ANYWAY. 
          SO THAT'S ONE OF OUR GOALS THERE. 
          THE OTHER CIRCULATION GOAL THAT WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IS, UH, NOTED. 
          CAN I POINT HERE, JOSE? YES. 
          IT'S NOTED AS NUMBER SEVEN ON OUR PLAN, WHICH IS A 10 FEET WIDE STABILIZED DECOMPOSED GRANITE PATH, WHICH WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT BECAUSE IT ALLOWS ONE TO MOVE FROM ANY POINT ON THE SQUARE TO THE INTERIOR AND THEN MOVE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PARK WITHOUT GETTING ON THE DIAGONALS. 
          AND SO IT REALLY UNIFIES THESE DIFFERENT SPACES THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A MINUTE, THESE DIFFERENT QUADRANTS EACH FOR THE DIFFERENT PURPOSE ON SITE. 
          AND SO WE REALLY LIKE THIS IDEA OF THIS PARK LIGHT PATH THAT IS ABLE TO KEEP A LOT OF PEOPLE. 
          ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT OF THE PROJECT IS WHAT WE ARE. 
          UH, WE ARE CALLING IT THE PROMINENT, IT'S A LINEAR PLAZA. 
          IT'S 20 FEET WIDE, WHICH IS GENEROUS ENOUGH FOR TOOK, UH, TO FACILITATE SEVERAL THINGS. 
          ONE WOULD BE FOR EXAMPLE, A FARMER'S MARKET WHERE YOU COULD PUT TENTS UP ON ONE SIDE. 
          ANOTHER PURPOSE WOULD BE JUST AS A SET OF LINEAR PLAZA. 
          YOU COULD HAVE SEATING ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE. 
          YOU COULD ALSO HAVE LIKE A BOOK FAIR, OR YOU COULD HAVE, UM, HEALTHCARE VANS, LIKE THERE'S A VACCINATION OR COME GET YOUR PETS LOOKED AT. 
          THESE WOULD BE LAID DOWN CURBS SPOTS WHERE YOU COULD GET A, A VEHICLE IN HERE, LIKE A FOOD TRUCK FESTIVAL, FOR EXAMPLE. 
          AND THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE THAT PARTICULAR TRAFFIC AS WELL AS PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC. 
          SO IT'S A REALLY NICE KIND OF URBAN, UH, SIGN THAT REALLY MOVES FROM THE CENTER OF CENTER STREET ALL THE WAY TO MILLER. 
          AND I THINK IT REALLY IS NICE THAT IT JUST KIND OF UNIFIES THE CENTER OF THIS WITH ACTIVITY, UH, IN THIS CENTER AREA. 
          PRESENTLY THE FLAG TOLLS ARE RIGHT HERE, OUTSIDE THE BACK DOOR. 
          AND, UH, IT'S KIND OF GOT AN AWKWARD RELATIONSHIP HERE. 
          SO WE PROPOSING MOVING THE FLAGPOLES OVER TO THIS AREA. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? JOSE NUMBERS, NUMBER SIX. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I WAS LIKE, I KNEW IT WAS CLOSE TO THIS AREA. 
          SO NUMBER SIX. 
          SO THEY ARE STILL ON, UH, ON AXIS AND INFORMAL, BUT THEY'RE OUT OF THE WAY OF THIS AREA. 
          THIS IS PROMINENT. 
          I FORGOT TO MENTION IS ALL PAVERS. 
          SO IT'S GOT A VERY MUCH A KIND OF A DOWNTOWN, UH, OLD TOWN FEEL TO IT. 
          I'LL GO BACK UP TO THE TOP UP HERE, WHICH IS PERFECT TO MENTION AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR IS THE HOLIDAY TREE LOCATION WIDE HERE IN THE CENTER, THE REST OF THE TIME OF THE YEAR, IT WOULD BE ANNUAL COLOR, OR IT COULD EVEN BE SOME, SOME SORT OF, UH, JUST, IT COULD BE A SMALL PIECE OF SCULPTURE THAT YOU COULD REMOVE. 
          IT COULD BE SIGNAGE, UH, AND AROUND THAT IS A PLACE TO GATHER AROUND THE HOLIDAY TREE. 
          AND IT CAN BE USED YEAR ROUND, TOO, FOR GATHERING POINTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. 
          UM, ACROSS FROM THAT OUR TWO LITTLE MINOR SIDEWALKS UNDER THESE GORGEOUS TREES FOR PICNIC TABLES. 
          SO THAT'S SHOWING HERE, SO YOU COULD GET A PIECE OF PIE, YOU COULD GET FOOD FROM YOUR FOOD TRUCK AND GATHER IN THIS PICNIC AREA AMONGST, LIKE I SAID, THESE TREES, THE TREES ARE FADED BACK SO WE CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING ON UNDERNEATH THEM, BUT YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE THROUGHOUT THE PARK. 
          WE'RE NOT RE PROPOSING TO REMOVE ANY TREE. 
          THERE IS ONE TREE IN THIS AREA. 
          I BELIEVE IT'S THIS ONE. 
          UM, IS THAT MY, TO SAY IT'S A YEAR, RIGHT? IT'S THIS ONE, THERE IS ONE TREE RIGHT HERE THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S DOING VERY WELL. 
          AND IT DOES FALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS. 
          UM, THIS PARTICULAR, AS I MENTIONED, THE RADIUS SIDEWALK. 
          SO WE WILL, WE WILL LOOK AT THAT CAREFULLY. 
          IF THE TREE STAYS, WE WOULD JUST MOVE THAT PATH OUT SLIGHTLY TO ACCOMMODATE 
          [00:45:01]
IT. 
          BUT RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S NOT DOING REALLY, REALLY WELL. 
          ANOTHER BIG ACTIVATOR AND HIGHLIGHT OF THE PART IS, UM, UTILIZING THIS DISEASE THOUGH IN A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WAY, HAVING BEEN OUT THERE NOW SEVERAL TIMES DURING THIS PROJECT AND OBSERVING PEOPLE USING THE PARK ON DIFFERENT DAYS AND DIFFERENT HOURS RIGHT NOW, PETE, A FEW PEOPLE THEY GATHER HERE, BUT THEY ALSO SPREAD OUT. 
          THERE'S NO REAL CONSOLIDATED AREA FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY. 
          AND IT'S REALLY INTERESTING TO WATCH THE KIDS THEY'LL RUN AROUND, BUT THEY'RE ALMOST LIKE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO. 
          IT SEEMS SO WE ARE PROPOSING, INTEGRATING A NATURE PLAY PLACE GATE. 
          UH, THIS PLACE GATE IS AN OFF, I SAY, IT'S OFF THE SHELF. 
          IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S READILY AVAILABLE AND IT'S CERTIFIED SAFE. 
          SO IT IS, IT'S NOT LIKE JUST SONG LOGS OFF OF A PROPERTY, BUT IT LOOKS VERY NATURAL. 
          SHOW YOU SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. 
          SO IT WOULD GO HERE AMONGST THE TREE. 
          SO IDEALLY PARENTS COULD SIT HERE AND OBSERVE THEIR CHILDREN PLAYING THE PLAYGROUND. 
          SO THERE'S MORE SYNERGY IN THIS AREA. 
          SOUTH OF THAT, A LITTLE BIT WEST WE'VE KEPT THIS JUST AS AN OPEN FLEXIBLE LAWN. 
          SO IF THERE IS SOME SORT OF CEREMONY, A PERSON COULD STAND HERE AND WE COULD, WE COULD PUT TABLES AND CHAIRS IN THIS OPEN, FLEXIBLE LAWN. 
          SO IT'S A VERY FLEXIBLE PIECE OF THE PARK DOWN HERE THAT IS ANCHORED BY THE GAZEBO. 
          AND THEN ON THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT, WE HAVE A BOTANICAL GARDEN, WHICH WE'LL SHOW YOU A LITTLE MORE DETAIL. 
          WE'RE GOING TO ZOOM IN ON THESE A LITTLE BIT. 
          SO YOU CAN GET A KIND OF GET A FEEL. 
          THESE OF COURSE ARE INSPIRATION BOARDS. 
          THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE, BUT TO GIVE YOU A FEEL FOR WHAT THIS AREA WOULD LOOK LIKE. 
          THIS IS KIND OF A RENDITION. 
          OF COURSE, OURS IS AT A SMALLER SCALE THAT WE WOULD HAVE ARTICULATED PAVEMENT LIKE SO, AND KIND OF A RADIUS TREATMENT AT THIS FLAWS. 
          AND THAT'S WHERE OUR, OUR TREE WOULD GO CEREMONIALLY AT THE HOLIDAY SEASON. 
          THE TYPE OF FURNITURE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS SOMETHING THAT IS ADA ACCESSIBLE. 
          THIS IS A, UM, A STEEL STRUCTURE. 
          IT CAN BE ANCHORED. 
          IT'S GOT PLENTY OF ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO GATHER. 
          THERE THERE'S FOUR FOOT ONES. 
          THERE ARE SIX FOOT ONES ARE SEVEN FEET ONES. 
          SO WE PLAN ON HAVING A VARIETY OF LENGTHS FOR PEOPLE TO CHOOSE FROM IN THIS AREA. 
          SO THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THAT, THAT PICNIC TABLE MIGHT LOOK LIKE. 
          AND THEN HERE IN THIS AREA, CLOSER TO THE CENTER, WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING LIKE AN ARTIFICIAL TURF OR LAWN SPACE TO PUT OUT ADIRONDACK FURNITURE. 
          AGAIN, THESE ARE HEAVY DUTY THEY'RE MADE FROM A RECYCLED PRODUCT. 
          SO THEY'RE NOT WHAT YOU SEE AT LOWE'S AND HOME DEPOT. 
          THEY'RE DECIDEDLY DIFFERENT. 
          AND THEY'RE MADE FOR COMMERCIAL SPACE. 
          THIS IS AN ACTUAL PHOTO OF ONE OF OUR PROJECTS WHERE THIS PRODUCT WAS USED. 
          SO SOMETHING THAT'S MORE LOUNGE LIKE IN THIS AREA. 
          AND OF COURSE, WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE HOLIDAY TREE. 
          LET ME GET ME TO THE NEXT PAGE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THIS IS THE AREA WHERE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE GAZEBO. 
          SO WE'RE TRYING TO SHOW HOW THIS DISEASE MIGHT BE USED FOR A CEREMONIAL LAWN IN THIS AREA IS SIMILAR TO THIS WHERE THE, THE CHAIRS CAN ALL BE LINED UP AND HERE UNDER THE TREES. 
          AND YOU COULD HAVE ANY EVENT IN THIS QUADRANT AND THEN THE, UH, THE PLACE GATE. 
          THIS IS, UH, AGAIN KIND OF AN INSPIRATION OF WHAT THAT PLAY STATE MIGHT LOOK LIKE. 
          THIS MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE EQUIPMENT THAN THE SIZE OF OUR SPACE WOULD ALLOW, BUT YOU CAN SEE HOW IT'S NOT PRIMARY COLORS. 
          WE DON'T WANT TO PROPOSE ANYTHING IN THIS PART THAT LOOKS TRENDY OR A NEW BRAND SPANKING NEW. 
          IT NEEDS TO BE SOFT AND VERY ACCESSIBLE AND BLENDING WITH THE TREES AND THE LAWN AND THE EXISTING PLANTINGS ON SITE. 
          AND THEN THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THIS PATH MAY LOOK LIKE. 
          AGAIN, IT'S NOT CONCRETE, SO IT'S VERY SOFT AND RECREATIONAL WOULD HAVE SLANTING ALONG THE WAY. 
          SO THAT'S AN IDEA HERE OF HOW THAT MAY CIRCULATE THROUGH THE PARK ON THIS SIDE OF THE FOAM AND ALL THE OTHER AREAS WHERE THE FOUNTAIN IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE EXISTING OF CITY HALL. 
          AND SO THAT IS SHOWING THAT THE FOUNTAIN RIGHT NOW, PRESENTLY HAS A PAVEMENT RIGHT UP TO IT. 
          AND WE ARE RIGHT NOW, THE VOLT SITS RIGHT HERE. 
          THE PUMP BALL DOES. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO ADD SOME SLANTING AROUND THE ARM, JUST LOW PLANTING, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, SOMETHING LOW THAT KIND OF JUST KEEPS PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE FOUNTAIN AND MAKES IT KIND OF SIT DOWN IN THE LANDSCAPE A LITTLE BIT MORE AND BE A SOFTER EXPRESSION OF THIS SPACE RIGHT HERE. 
          MUCH MORE PARK-LIKE YEAH. 
          AND LET'S SEE, WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT. 
          YOU COULD SEE HOW IT INTERACTS WITH THAT LANDSCAPE AREA. 
          WE WOULD PROPOSE FOR NEW TREES IN THIS AREA, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S A LOT OF CONCRETE PAVEMENT. 
          SO WE'RE, WE'RE ACTUALLY SHRINKING THE AMOUNT OF HEAT ISLAND IN THAT AREA TOO. 
          SO IT'S GOING TO BE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE SPACE. 
          OKAY. 
          OUR REALLY FUN SPOT HERE IS THE BOTANICAL GARDEN. 
          THIS IS AN IDEA OF WHAT WE WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE. 
          ZERO SCAPE 
          [00:50:01]
PLANTS, PLACES TO SIT, MAYBE A BIRD BATH, BIRD FEEDER, AND ALONG THE PRAMA NOD, HAVING EVERY OTHER POSTS, MAYBE HAVE A HANGING BASKET ON IT AGAIN, THE PROMENADE AND HOW THAT PATH WOULD LOOK GOING THROUGHOUT IT. 
          SO LOTS OF PLACES TO ENJOY THE VEGETATION HERE. 
          WE WOULD HAVE SOME RAIN GARDEN MATERIAL IN HERE TOO, FOR EDUCATION PURPOSES. 
          SO IF YOU HAVE A STUDENT FIELD TRIP IN HERE, THEY CAN SEE HOW THE NATIVE PLANTS WORK TO, TO MANAGE WATER QUALITY AND AGAIN, THE NATIVE PLANTS AND HOW THEY ATTRACT POLLINATORS AND BIRDS. 
          SO A VERY SOFT MEANDERING EDUCATIONAL SPACE RIGHT THERE IN THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT. 
          IS THAT IT, I BELIEVE THAT'S IT. 
          UM, I HOPE THAT GIVES YOU AN OVERALL VIEW OF WHERE WE ARE. 
          UM, AS THE MAYOR MENTIONED, THIS IS OUR FIRST BLUSH AT, UM, AT FIRST SOLUTION AND THINGS ARE FITTING VERY WELL, EVEN WITHIN THE BUDGET RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE, IS LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK FOR WHERE WE ARE AND MAKING SURE WE'RE WITHIN THE BUDGET AND THE GOALS FOR, UM, MEETING THE DESIRE. 
          SO THE HISTORIC COMMISSION, OF COURSE EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO WITH THAT, I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU, ANNE. 
          IN A, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COUNCILLOR, ELLISON, THANK YOU. 
          UH, FIRST OF ALL, UH, GREAT TO SEE YOU, UH, AN AND, UH, AND MEET YOU AS WELL. 
          JOSE, OVER THERE ON THE SIDE AND I WAS, UH, HALFWAY EXPECTING THE RED RED GLASSES. 
          NO, NO, I'VE GOT, I HAVE MAROON TONIGHT, SO THERE YOU GO. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S COOL. 
          BUT THE AGGIES DID WIN, SO YES THEY DID. 
          WHERE ARE YOU AT RIZZO? OH, WELL THAT'S RIGHT. 
          WELL, UH, WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION. 
          THIS IS, UH, EXCITING FOR A NUMBER OF US. 
          UM, AND I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING AND I, I WAS REALLY HAPPY TO HEAR, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME, UH, OBSERVING IN OUR DOWNTOWN PARK AND THE ACTIONS THAT ARE GOING ON THERE. 
          UH, OBVIOUSLY YOU STILL, EVEN IN A PANDEMIC, PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF OPEN SPACES AND GREEN SPACES AND BEING OUTDOORS. 
          SO, UH, THANK YOU FOR THAT DUE DILIGENCE. 
          UM, IF WE COULD GO TO THE SLIDE THAT KIND OF SHOWS THE LARGER PICTURE, THAT'D PROBABLY BE HELPFUL FOR ME TO KIND OF POINT OUT THINGS, UM, AND WHERE TO BEGIN ON THIS. 
          SO ONE, UH, THERE ARE A LOT OF ASPECTS I LOVE ABOUT THIS. 
          UH, CERTAINLY THIS BOTTOM, I GUESS THAT WOULD BE THE SOUTHWEST CORNER WHERE YOUR MARKER IS THERE. 
          I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS, UH, ADDING GREAT, UM, PLANT SPACE AND I LOVE THE EDUCATIONAL IDEA YOU HAD BEHIND IT. 
          BOTANICAL GARDENS, ALL THAT STUFF IS WONDERFUL, PARTICULARLY THAT RIGHT NOW, THAT SOUTHWEST CORNER KIND OF IS THE, UM, IT'S KIND OF LEFT OUT. 
          I'LL JUST SAY THAT. 
          SO, UH, THAT, THAT TO ME SPEAKS VOLUMES. 
          I LOVE THE IDEA OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN THAT AREA. 
          SO THAT QUADRANT IN MY OPINION IS FANTASTIC. 
          UM, I I'M, UH, I ACTUALLY DO REALLY LIKE THE PROMINENT IDEA AS WELL AS THE, UM, WHAT ARE YOU CALLING IT? THE RADIO UNIFYING PATH. 
          I LIKED THAT IDEA. 
          ONE QUESTION I HAD IMMEDIATELY WITH THE PROMENADE, I'M SURE THE, UH, UNIFYING PATH WILL BE PERMEABLE. 
          UH, WHERE'S THE IDEA WITH THE PROMENADE TO BE PERMEABLE PAPERS. 
          WE COULD USE PERMEABLE PAVERS. 
          WE, YES, WE CAN. 
          AND WE USE A LOT OF THOSE AT THE MILLER DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. 
          SO THEY'RE A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY TRY TO GET THEM IN THEIR EYE AND WE MAY HAVE TO REDUCE THEM A LITTLE BIT IF SO, UM, BUT I THINK THAT'S AN EXCELLENT THOUGHT AND NO REASON WHY WE SHOULDN'T BE AWARE. 
          YEAH. 
          FANTASTIC. 
          AND ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVED ABOUT IT, PARTICULARLY WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT SOUTHWEST QUADRANT IS THAT EDUCATIONAL PIECE AND STORM WATER MANAGEMENT AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          AND SO THAT I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE TRYING TO INCORPORATE IN OTHER PARTS OF OUR CITY, UH, IS, UH, LID GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, IN, IN SOME OF THE DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN DO THAT. 
          UH, AND, UH, SO JUST, UH, JUST AN IDEA AND IF, IF THAT COULD BE, UH, KICKED AROUND AND SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE WITH THAT, I THINK THAT'D BE REALLY NEAT. 
          UM, LET'S SEE. 
          UH, I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF, UH, ADDING THE TREES IN THE CENTRAL AREA THERE, UH, AND KIND OF, UH, TREES ARE IMPORTANT. 
          TREE TREES ARE HUGE. 
          I THINK THEY ALSO ATTRACT PEOPLE AND PEOPLE WANT SHADE, PARTICULARLY, AND TREES PROVIDE THAT OPPORTUNITY. 
          UH, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED, BUT IT WAS BROUGHT UP BY, UH, I WAS ACTUALLY IN OUR DOWNTOWN SQUARE TODAY WATCHING OUR STAFF DO LAST MINUTE TOUCHES ON OUR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS. 
          AND, UH, 
          [00:55:01]
ONE OF THE STAFF MEMBERS, UH, BROUGHT UP TO ME ABOUT THAT FOUNTAIN AND SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT HER OCD QUALITIES AND HOW THAT IT'S SLIGHTLY NOT CENTERED. 
          AND I WONDER IF YOU NOTICE THAT I'M SURE YOU DID. 
          AND ONE THING I DID LIKE ABOUT YOUR PROPOSAL HERE IS ADDING THAT GREEN SPACE AROUND THE FOUNTAIN. 
          I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO IT. 
          I ALWAYS FELT LIKE, YOU KNOW, UM, THERE'S A WHOLE STORY WITH THAT FOUNTAIN. 
          I'M SURE SOMEBODY MIGHT FILL YOU IN WITH, ON THAT ONE DAY, BUT ONE THING I, I REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND YOU HAD A GREAT PICTURE, UH, EARLIER SHOWING A FOUNTAIN WITH A CONNOTATION AROUND IT, IN DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S A REALLY AWESOME LOOK. 
          I THINK THAT WOULD REALLY ADD A LOT TO THAT FOUNTAIN AS WELL. 
          UM, IT'LL MAKE IT, LIKE I SAID, I USE THE TERM SIT IN BETTER, BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT'S STICKING OUT RIGHT NOW. 
          AND THIS IS WHERE I THINK WE'LL SETTLE IT INTO. 
          RIGHT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          UM, YOU DID MAKE A REMARK ABOUT THE TREES. 
          UH, I KNOW YOU'VE GONE THROUGH THERE AND DONE YOUR OBSERVATIONS AND ASSESSMENTS OF THEM. 
          YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT WHERE YOUR MARKER IS RIGHT NOW. 
          UH, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT TREE ACTUALLY. 
          UH, PARTICULARLY SINCE WE'VE BEEN DOING THE DECORATIONS, I GUESS AT SOME POINT IT WAS POPULAR TO PUT SOME KIND OF STRUCTURE AROUND THE ROOT BASE OF A TREE. 
          AND, UH, IT CREATED THIS, UH, THE ROOT SYSTEM TO KIND OF BULK UP AND WHATNOT. 
          AND OBVIOUSLY THAT IS, IT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE TREE. 
          UH, AS MUCH AS WE WOULD LOVE TO SAVE OUR TREES AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT, I'M SURE YOU'LL, YOU'LL MAKE THE BEST RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WHAT WE SHOULD DO WITH THAT. 
          SOMETIMES THOSE ARE OBVIOUSLY THE MOST DIFFICULT OF DECISIONS TO MAKE. 
          HAVING HAD TO MAKE MANY OF THEM OVER MY CAREER, PUTTING IN A NEW HEALTHIER TREE. 
          IT DOESN'T TAKE TOO LONG, MAYBE FIVE YEARS FOR THAT, THAT TREE NEW TREE TO HAVE THE SAME CANOPY IS THE ONE YOU REMOVE AND IT'S YOUNGER AND HEALTHIER AND IT'S, IT'S BASIC SUCCESSION PLANTING THAT AND THAT. 
          SO AS PAINFUL AS IT IS, IT'S HORTICULTURALLY AND ARE CULTURALLY A GOOD THING TO CONSIDER TO DO. 
          HMM THAT'S THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. 
          SO, UH, IF, IF THAT DID GO DOWN THAT ROUTE, AND THEN YOU ALSO MENTIONED, UH, ADDING FOUR ADDITIONAL TREES, UH, TO THE CENTER, UH, WHAT TYPE OF TREES WOULD YOU HAVE IN MIND FOR THAT? AND HERE WITH MORE THAN LIKELY SOMETHING LIKE A CHANGE OF THE PEN WE THINK WOULD BE NICE. 
          UM, IT'S THE LITTLE SMALL FOR THING FOR LIVE OAKS THERE, CHECK A PEN, SEEM MORE UPRIGHT, VERY SIMILAR TO A RED OAK. 
          AND WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF VARIETY OF TREES, OBVIOUSLY IN THE PARK. 
          SO INTRODUCING SOME NEW STACY'S THAT ARE NATIVE TO OUR AREA, I THINK WOULD BE A GOOD THOUGHT. 
          SO I THINK I WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE A CHINK OF THERE BEING A MIDSIZE OPEN CANOPY TREE. 
          AWESOME. 
          I WILL LOOK THAT UP. 
          I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT TYPE OF TRADE, HOW THAT LOOKS, BUT DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO RESEARCH ON. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          I WAS GOING TO MENTION THAT, UH, YOU BRING UP A GOOD POINT, WHICH IS THERE'S MORE GOOD THINGS TO COME, YOU KNOW, ONCE WE GET A GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT THIS IS THE DIRECTION WE WANT TO PURSUE, WE WILL BRING EVEN MORE INFORMATION DURING THE NEXT PHASE OF DESIGN DEVELOPMENT. 
          NOT ONLY INCORPORATING YOUR THOUGHTS TODAY, BUT GETTING MORE AND MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT CCS AND SUCH AND PAVER TYPES WILL BE NEXT. 
          YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          UH, JUST DID A QUICK SEARCH OF THE CHIN OPIN, RIGHT? CHICKEN PINON TREE ISSUE. 
          UH, AND IT'S SO I GUESS GOING BACK TO THE, THE TREE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT A IS STRUGGLING THERE WHERE THE NUMBER SEVEN IS A, WOULD THAT BE REPLACING IT WITH, UM, I GUESS WHAT TYPE OF TREE WOULD WE, UH, IF THAT WERE TO BE THE ROUTE, UH, WHAT, WHAT WOULD BE THE IDEA OF REPLACING THAT TREE? I WOULD PROPOSE A LOT OF OAK, I BELIEVE. 
          UH, I THINK IT WAS ALIVE OAK. 
          I THINK HAVING A HEALTHIER, YOUNGER LIVE OAK WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. 
          AND IT MAY BE THAT WE WANT TO LOOK CLOSELY ABOUT WHETHER WE NEED TO ADD A COUPLE OF MORE YOUNG TREES, MAYBE NOT JUST LIVE OAKS, BUT I THINK HAVING THE MAJOR CANOPY OF LYDA IS INDICATIVE OF HOW THE SITE HAS BEEN HISTORICALLY. 
          SO I WOULD HESITATE TO ADD TOO MANY DIFFERENT VARIETIES IN THAT CORE. 
          I THINK IN HERE WE COULD INTRODUCE SOME MORE ORNAMENTAL TREES BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE DESIGN YET THAT WE MAY HAVE SOME RED BEDS OR OUR BOHEMIAS AND DESERT WILLOWS. 
          JUST SO THE COMPOSITION OF THIS IS COMPLETE NOT ONLY WITH PLANTS, THAT SOME ORNAMENTAL TREES THAT REALLY SPICE UP THE VARIETY FOR THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN THAT QUADRANT. 
          I LOVE THAT. 
          UH, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. 
          UM, TWO OTHER COMMENTS AND THEN COUNSEL, I'LL STOP TALKING, BUT, UH, 
          [01:00:01]
UM, I, I, UM, I'M INTERESTED TO SEE ON, ON SECTION FIVE, THE KITTY KITTY CORRAL IDEA. 
          UM, CERTAINLY I, I, YOU KNOW, YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT ABOUT CHILDREN PROBABLY OUT THERE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO. 
          IT'S NOT YOUR, YOU KNOW, YOUR TYPICAL KIND OF CHILDREN PARK, UM, YOU KNOW, BUT, UH, SO THAT, THAT WILL BE INTERESTING. 
          AND AS THAT EVOLVES, AND I'LL BE CURIOUS ABOUT HOW THAT COMES UP, COMES ABOUT, UH, I LIKED THE IDEA OF THE, THE LAWN SPACE IN THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT, UH, NEXT TO THE GAZEBO. 
          UH, IT IS, I I'VE SEEN, UM, SOMETIMES I WILL WALK DOWN THERE AND I'LL, I'LL SEE, UM, EVEN DURING THE PANDEMIC WHERE THERE HAS BEEN LIKE VERY SMALL GROUPS, THEY'RE, THEY'RE DISTANCED FROM EACH OTHER AND THEY'LL JUST SIT THERE AND HAVE LONG DISTANCE TALKS UNDER THAT GAZEBO AND DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          UH, IT'S REALLY UNIQUE. 
          AND I THINK EVEN ONE OF THE EXAMPLES YOU GAVE, UH, IT KIND OF SHOWED WHERE THE GAZEBO AND THEN THE SEATING OUTSIDE THERE. 
          SO CERTAINLY SOMETHING COULD BE HAD. 
          WE HAD A PROPOSAL IN THAT, UH, UM, UH, SQUARE LAST YEAR, UH, DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON. 
          SO MAYBE, UH, WE'LL GET WEDDING IN THERE. 
          SO, UM, BUT, UH, LAST THING I JUST WANTED TO SAY, I THINK, UH, I, I, I APPRECIATE THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND, AND YOU ALL WORKING ON THIS, I'VE BEEN EXCITED ABOUT YOU BEING A PART OF THIS, UH, AND IN YOUR TEAM, UH, SOME MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT YOU DID THE WORK, UH, OUTSIDE OF COW FIELD, DOWN IN COLLEGE STATION. 
          AND NOW YOU'RE WORKING HERE IN KYLE, UH, WHERE THE, UH, IS ONE OF THE SONS OF THE KYLE FAMILY. 
          UH, SO I THINK THAT'S PRETTY COOL AND UNIQUE. 
          UH, MY LAST COMMENTS WOULD BE JUST ABOUT THE HAYES HISTORICAL COMMISSION, OBVIOUSLY, UM, UH, BEING VERY COGNIZANT OF WORKING WITH THEM. 
          UH, JUST WANT TO SEE IF, IF THOSE, UH, COMMUNICATIONS HAVE ALREADY STOPPED STARTED, OR THOSE ANTICIPATED AREN'T COMING HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. 
          AND JUST, UH, VERY BRIEFLY HOW THOSE ARE GOING. 
          YES, WE MET WITH, UH, KATE JOHNSON. 
          YES. 
          ON WAS THAT TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING, TUESDAY, TUESDAY, THE FOURTH THANKSGIVING, WE MET HER OUT THERE. 
          SHE WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING BECAUSE, UH, WE, WE WERE SPEAKING TO, UH, TO YOU GUYS AND, UH, SIT, YOU'RE SIT UP AND GO AHEAD AND INITIATE THAT SHE WAS LOVELY. 
          UH, WE, WE, WE HAD A PACKET THAT YOU'RE SEEING TONIGHT, A HARD COPY AND HER ON SITE AND WALK THROUGH ALL OF THE ELEMENTS. 
          SHE HAD A COUPLE OF COMMENTS ABOUT THE PICNIC TABLES. 
          WE ORIGINALLY HAD THOUGHT ABOUT RELOCATING THEM FROM THIS AREA, INTO THIS AREA. 
          AND EVEN MAYBE NOT USING THEM AS PICNIC TABLES ANYMORE, BUT TAKING THE TOPS OFF AND USING THEM AS STEPPING STONES OR A PLACE OF, FOR BINGE BECAUSE THEY DON'T MEET ADA. 
          AND THERE, THEY THOUGHT BECAUSE OF THE TIME THAT THEY WERE BUILT, THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT HEIGHTS. 
          THEY'RE NOT COMFORTABLE. 
          UM, BUT SHE WAS NOT EXCITED ABOUT THAT IDEA. 
          UM, THAT WAS REALLY HER ONLY COMMENT. 
          WE, I DID ASK HER AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION, UM, WHAT HER IMPRESSIONS WERE. 
          AND SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD, SHE APPRECIATE IT. 
          EVERYTHING SHE'D GET BACK WITH THIS AND THAT SHE WAS GOING TO CONTACT, I BELIEVE THE TEXAS HISTORIC COMMISSION AND INITIATE THAT, WHICH WE WOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT TOO, OF COURSE, BECAUSE, UM, WE WOULD LOVE TO PRESENT OUR WORK ON YOUR BEHALF BECAUSE WE DO THAT WELL. 
          AND, UH, THAT'S ONE OF OUR NEXT SESSION POINTS WITH YOU AS SOME DIRECTION ON WHAT TO DO NEXT IN THAT REGARD. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND, UH, I'M VERY EXCITED TO HEAR THAT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. 
          MR. JOHNSON IS A VERY SWEET LADY AND, UH, THE WAY YOU'VE DESCRIBED HER IS, UH, NO DIFFERENT THAN MY IMPRESSION OF HER AND MY INTERACTIONS WITH HER AS WELL. 
          UM, I HAD A FEELING YOU WERE GOING TO MENTION THAT, AND SHE MIGHT HAVE, UH, SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THOSE PICNIC TABLES, UM, AND, UH, HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME FOLKS, INCLUDING OUR STAFF IS A LIKELIHOOD OF MOVING THOSE AND KEEPING THEM ATTACK IS PROBABLY VERY LOW TO NONE. 
          UH, SO THAT MAY BE A CHALLENGE, BUT I LIKE THE I, UH, THE IDEA AND THE GENIUS OF MAYBE REUSING THEM AND REPURPOSING THEM. 
          SO OBVIOUSLY THAT WE'LL HAVE SOME MORE DISCUSSIONS AND SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH DAY'S HISTORIC COMMISSION ON FIGURING THAT OUT. 
          UM, THE ONE LAST COMMENT I'M PROMISE I'M DONE COUNSEL AFTER THIS WAS THE ATTENTION TO THE AMERICAN WITH DISABILITIES ACT AND YOUR, UM, POINTS ON WIDENING THE SIDEWALKS AND DIFFERENT THINGS AND INCORPORATING THAT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PART. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I'M DONE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCILOR ELLISON, UH, ANY, ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER RIZZO. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING AROUND THE FOUNTAIN. 
          I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF THAT FOUNTAIN. 
          UM, BUT WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING IS REALLY GONNA ADD A LOT OF, UH, TAKE A LITTLE BIT AWAY FROM THE FOUNTAIN AND GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE, UH, FEATURES TO IT, TO MAKE IT MORE, UH, PRESENTABLE IN THAT AREA AND GIVE IT A LOT MORE AESTHETICS. 
          [01:05:01]
I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT WAS LACKING. 
          I THINK IT WAS JUST, IT WAS JUST TOO BIG OF A FOCAL CENTERPIECE THERE AND ADDING THE LANDSCAPE AROUND IT. 
          I THINK IT'S GONNA MAKE IT VERY BEAUTIFUL. 
          I THINK IT'S GOING TO MAKE IT A LOT BETTER. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO POINT OUT IS OVER ON THE BURLESON SIDE OF THE, UH, THE, UH, OLD, UH, UH, CITY HALL, HISTORIC CITY HALL. 
          YEAH. 
          IN THAT AREA RIGHT THERE, THAT'S USUALLY, FOR SOME REASON THAT'S CONSIDERED THE BACK DOOR, BUT IT'S USUALLY OUR FRONT DOOR. 
          CAUSE EVERYBODY GOES IN AND OUT OF THAT, THAT DOOR BECAUSE OF THE PARKING AND NOT HAVING TO HIT THE STEPS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUILDING, I THINK HE JUST WENT OUT AND I REALLY WANTED TO HEAR WHAT HE WAS ABOUT TO SAY TOO, BECAUSE HOLD ON. 
          CAUSE HER RIZZO, SORRY WE LOST YOU. 
          WE LOST THE FEED THERE FOR JUST A SECOND. 
          WE GOT YOU BACK NOW. 
          SO GO AHEAD. 
          OKAY. 
          SO ON THAT SIDE IS ACTUALLY, WHAT MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS OF HOURS CONSIDERED THE FRONT DOOR FOR SOME REASON, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT, IT'S ACTUALLY THE BACK DOOR, BUT I'D LOVE TO SEE SOMETHING IN THAT AREA. 
          THAT'S WELCOMING. 
          I WAS THINKING OF, KYLE'S A VERY WELCOMING CITY. 
          I'D LOVE TO SEE SOMETHING THERE THAT HONORS THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE'VE GROWN, WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN A VERY WELCOMING CITY. 
          I'D LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING IN THAT AREA THAT MAYBE WOULD SIGNIFY THAT, UM, IF YOU COULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING, I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT FOR THAT PART OF THE SQUARE, THAT POINT VERY WELL TAKEN BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT FOCUSED AS MUCH AROUND THIS, THE, THE BUILDING ITSELF YOU CAN SEE HERE, WE'RE REALLY NOT SHOWING ANYTHING. 
          SO IT'S TIME FOR US TO ABSOLUTELY. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT FEEDBACK. 
          GIVE THIS SOME, SOME ATTENTION. 
          THANK YOU AGAIN. 
          THANK YOU, COUNSELOR ROSEAU. 
          I AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENTS. 
          SO, UM, WHOLEHEARTEDLY ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? UH, AND I HAD, UH, ONE BRIEF ONE AND IT'S REALLY MORE THE TECHNICAL AND LANDSCAPING, UH, UM, I'M SORRY, ON THE LIGHTING AND THE IRRIGATION OR THOSE PLANS THAT WILL BE FORTHCOMING, UH, AS WE GET FURTHER, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT INTO THAT TECHNICAL PHASE YET. 
          JUST WANTED TO HEAR THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING A LOT OF THESE PLANTINGS, THAT WHILE WE'RE IN THERE TURNING THAT DIRT, THAT WE'RE INSTALLING THE PROPER IRRIGATION SO THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN THIS AT THE LEVEL THAT IT IS INSTALLED. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND WE'RE STARTING TO INDICATE THESE, THESE ARE BEING STREETSCAPE FIXTURES, BUT WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO THAT LEVEL. 
          IT IS TIME FOR US TO DO SO ONCE THESE ELEMENTS, UM, WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO STAY WHERE THEY ARE, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE MOVING FORWARD. 
          THEN THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE DO IS SUPPORT THESE PATHWAYS THAT WE DECIDED UPON AND NEW SPACES AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE LIGHTING IRRIGATION AND NEW THAT THE S THE S THE SOIL AREA, THE SURFACE AREA OF THE PARK NEEDS SOME GOOD, OR GANEK MATTER, INCORPORATED IN THE TOP TWO TO THREE INCHES BEFORE WE PLANT NEW SOD OUT THERE, OR EVEN SEED. 
          AND IF IT'S THE SEATED AREAS IN THESE WALLFLOWERS ZONES, BUT ABSOLUTELY THAT IS THE NEXT STEP IS LIGHTING. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, AND THEN I WAS ALSO, I PREFER THE, THE, THE, UH, THE CHILDREN'S PLAYSCAPE AREA THAT YOU HAVE PROPOSED THERE BECAUSE IT ALL LOOKS VERY LOW PROFILE. 
          AND NON-INTRUSIVE THE IMAGE BELOW SHOWS THOSE FEATURES, WHICH I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE BALANCE BEAMS, I THINK THAT'S PERFECT. 
          I'M A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT SOME LARGE STRUCTURE THERE, AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S ROOM FOR THAT ANYWAY. 
          SO MY FEEDBACK TO YOU ON THAT IS TO KEEP GOING IN THE DIRECTION THAT YOU'RE SHOWING HERE ON NUMBER FIVE AND NOT TO SPEND PERSONALLY TOO MUCH TIME TRYING TO BUILD SOME LARGE VERTICAL STRUCTURES. 
          THERE'S OTHER PLACES FOR THAT. 
          AND THAT SQUARE'S PROBABLY NOT ONE OF THEM, BUT THAT'S A NICE LITTLE LOW PROFILE WAY TO HAVE THE KIDS BE DOING SOMETHING WHILE, UH, THAT MOM AND DAD ARE WALKING AROUND OR HAVING A MEETING WITH FRIENDS, IT KEEPS THEM ENGAGED AND HELPS THEM TO STAY THERE LONGER, WHICH INVITES FAMILIES TO COME AND STAY LONGER AND HELPS WITH, UH, COMMERCE. 
          SO IT'S CERTAINLY GOOD, BUT, UM, THAT'D BE MY FEEDBACK ON THAT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          WHICH BRINGS UP ANOTHER QUESTION. 
          WE HAVEN'T LOOKED INTO DOING THIS YET, BUT WE ARE THINKING ABOUT MAPPING AN EXTERIOR, UH, WATER FOUNTAIN AND WITH A PLACE FOR A DOG TO HAVE A BOWL STILL, TOO, AND MORE THAN LIKELY OUR WATER SOURCE FOR POTABLE WATER WILL BE OFF OF THIS BUILDING. 
          SO IF I CAN GET A NOD OF AGREEMENT THAT THAT MIGHT BE AN AMENITY THAT WE WANT TO ADD TO THIS, WE WILL EXPLORE THAT FURTHER THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, I'M THE CORN, BUT, UM, BUT I UNDERSTAND THE THOUGHT PROCESS PERSONALLY, UH, ANYONE ELSE HAVE THOUGHTS ON THAT? WHETHER YOU WANT TO ADD A DESIGNATED AREA FOR, UH, FOR ANIMALS TO GET A DRINK OR, OR EVEN HUMANS, 
          [01:10:01]
THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN. 
          YEAH. 
          WATER BOTTLE FILTER FILL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK WITH, UH, COVID-19 BEING WHAT IT IS RIGHT NOW, AND I, I, I GUESS WE'RE MOVING AWAY FROM THOSE AREAS. 
          UM, OUR HOPE IS HOPEFULLY TO HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE, UM, UH, MAYBE A LITTLE RESTAURANT OR SOMETHING NEARBY AND MORE SHOPS THAT PEOPLE COME OUT, GET, GET SOME ICE CREAM, SNOWCONES MAYBE A DRINK AND COME OUT TO THE PARK, ENJOY COFFEE IS WHAT OUR VISION FOR THAT IS. 
          I THINK WE'D BE OKAY WITH, WITHOUT HAVING THAT FOUNTAIN THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S PERFECTLY GOOD BECAUSE THAT IS ALWAYS SOMETHING YOU COULD ADD LATER IF YOU NEEDED TO. 
          SO THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. 
          UH, WE ARE ALSO NOT SHOWING ANY BICYCLE PARKING HERE SO FAR. 
          UM, I, I THINK KIND OF FEEL LIKE WE PROBABLY SHOULD PROVIDE A FEW. 
          ARE THERE ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT? OKAY. 
          I'M MORE INTERESTED IN THAT AS LONG AS IT'S NOT BIG, YOU KNOW, CAUSE THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS OF DOING BICYCLE PARKING. 
          IT CAN HAVE IT BE SOME PROMINENT FEATURE EXPECTING LOTS OF PEOPLE, WHICH IS NOT LIKELY, BUT AT ANY POINT THERE MIGHT BE SOMEONE WANTING TO TAKE A RIDE AND WOULD LIKE TO PARK THEIR BIKE. 
          THAT'S CERTAINLY IN SPIRIT OF THE WALKABILITY THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. 
          SO SOMETHING MODEST WOULD BE MY FEEDBACK, BUT CERTAINLY IF YOU CAN FIND A SPOT FOR IT, BUT THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHTS, COUNSEL. 
          I AGREE. 
          SOMETHING MODEST, UH, AS WELL. 
          UH, NOTHING TOO BULKY OR OUT OF HIS WAY. 
          I THINK THAT IT CERTAINLY SITS IN THE SPIRIT OF OUR PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY AND CONNECTABILITY THERE. 
          UH, TAKING A STEP BACK ON THE WATER THING. 
          I ACTUALLY DO LIKE THE IDEA, JUST NOT IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE OF A WATER FOUNTAIN THAT YOU PUT YOUR HANDS ON IN DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          THERE ARE THE ONES WHERE YOU SIMPLY PUT SOMETHING UNDER IT TO REFILL YOUR WATER. 
          AND THEN AS WELL AS, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE LITTLE, UH, I KNOW THEY HAD THE FOOT STOOL, UH, THE FOOT PRESS ONES FOR, FOR, UH, FOR ANIMALS IN DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          UM, I KNOW THAT IS SOMETHING ALWAYS, UH, VERY MUCH APPRECIATED OF PET OWNERS WHEN THEY HAVE A PLACE TO HYDRATE THEIR PANTS. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, WE MAY LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, THE OPPORTUNITY OF WHERE WE WOULD PLACE ONE AND MAYBE PROVIDE A, YOU KNOW, AN OUTLET OR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T PRECLUDE IT FROM BEING ADDED. 
          AND IF WE CAN INCLUDE IT IN THE ESTIMATE FOR THE WHOLE PROJECT, MAYBE WE LOOK AT IT AS AN OPTIONAL ITEM, GET THAT AGAIN IS REALLY THE VALUE. 
          I THINK MAYBE PART OF WHAT OUR CONSTERNATION IS HERE ON THAT IS IF YOU GO TO GREG CLARK PARK, WE HAVE EXTERIOR WATER FOUNTAINS AND THAT THEY HAVEN'T WORKED AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN HERE, I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET WATER OUT OF THEM. 
          SO I'M THINKING ABOUT THE LONG-TERM AND WHAT'S IT GOING TO LOOK LIKE FIVE YEARS FROM NOW? SO IF YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING IN MIND, IN PARTICULAR IN THAT AREA AND SOME GOOD IMAGES TO SHOW HOW IT WOULD STAY FUNCTIONAL WITHOUT LOTS OF MAINTENANCE, THAT WOULD ALSO BE HELPFUL, I THINK, AS A PRESENTATION PIECE. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, DURING THE NEXT THINGS, THEN WE'LL, WE'LL LOOK AT THAT. 
          BRINGING, BRING SOME IDEAS FORWARD. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          WELL, I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION. 
          I KNOW THERE'S A LONG WAY TO GO HERE IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. 
          WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT, UH, KIND OF A PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS OF WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE AS WE'RE CONTINUING TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          UH, I KNOW YOU'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS CONTRACT AND DOING YOUR DESIGN WORK. 
          SO WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY TRYING TO SLOW ANYTHING DOWN, UH, BUT SETTING UP AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO MORE THAN JUST THE COUNCIL, CAUSE THIS ISN'T REALLY WHERE WE GET OUR BEST AUDIENCE. 
          UM, UH, UH, THAT'LL BE A DISCUSSION WE'LL HAVE HERE IN JUST A MINUTE. 
          UH, ANYTHING ELSE LIKE FOR ME TO STAY ONLINE, TO BOUNCE IDEAS OFF OF, OR SHOULD I, THAT AGENDA ITEM IS IN THE SPIRIT OF THIS ONE? THE ONLY REASON I HAD IT SEPARATED WAS BECAUSE OF THE ONE, FOUR SOUTH BURLESON, UH, CONTRACT AND DISCUSSIONS, UH, THAT PROJECT IS NOT QUITE READY TO GO. 
          AND WE STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME ON THAT ONE. 
          UH, SO I'M NOT SURE SCOTT, IF THERE EVEN, UH, IF THAT GROUP IS HERE, BUT IF YOU, IF YOU HAVE THOUGHTS ON THAT AND YOU COULD GO AHEAD AND PRESENT IT NOW, AND WE CAN JUST HAVE THAT CONVERSATION SO THAT YOU CAN GET ON ABOUT YOUR DAY. 
          OH, IF I HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING ME? I HAVE THOUGHTS, BUT IF YOU WANTED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF KATIE SOME SHANE IS HERE. 
          SCOTT, I CAN'T SEE THAT THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS. 
          UM, WELL, WOULD YOU WANT ME TO GO AHEAD AND START MAYOR? YEAH, GO AHEAD. 
          OKAY. 
          I, I THINK THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IS FANTASTIC AND WE DO IT ALL THE TIME. 
          UM, GENERALLY WHEN 
          [01:15:01]
WE, WE START THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS, WE START FROM A BLANK SLATE AND WE, WE, IN THIS CONDITION, THIS SITUATION, OF COURSE WE HAVE SOME GIVENS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY THE GAZEBO, WE HAVE THE OLD CALL ASLEEP CITY HALL. 
          WE HAVE THE, THE TOWEL, THE BILL, AND IT, WE HAVE SOME FIXED ITEMS AND WE WOULD SHOW THOSE. 
          AND THEN GENERALLY WE BRAINSTORM WITH THE COMMUNITY ON THINGS THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THE PARK. 
          THAT'S THE PUREST WAY OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. 
          I'M SURE IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY EXPERIENCED THAT IN THIS CASE WHERE WERE MUCH FURTHER ALONG. 
          UM, WE WOULD PROBABLY JUST DO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE DONE TODAY IS PRESENT CON KIND OF WHERE WE ARE AND GET, GET THEIR RESPONSE TO IT. 
          UM, THE ONLY CONCERN I WOULD HAVE IS HOW TO MODERATE IT. 
          IF YOU GET DISSENTERS OR PEOPLE THAT WANT SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY COULD SAY, I WANT A SPLASH PAD, OR I DON'T, I DON'T, I WANT IT TO STAY LIKE IT IS. 
          CAUSE I LIKE MORE OPEN GRASS, JUST HOW TO FEEL THOSE QUESTIONS WHEN THEY COME UP. 
          UM, OF COURSE I'M CAPABLE OF GIVING MY OPINION, BUT IT'S REALLY NOT MY OPINION THAT ULTIMATELY MATTERS. 
          IT'S THE RIGHT OF TRYING TO DRAW A CONSENSUS WITH YOUR LEADERSHIP, RIGHT. 
          AND WHERE WISDOM THAT YOU ALL HAVE ENCOUNTERED IN EVEN PROPOSING ALL OF THIS. 
          SO THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY CONCERN IS THE POSITION WE WOULD BE IN. 
          IF WE GET THOSE THAT HAVE CONCERNS, HOW TO ANSWER THEIR CONCERNS WITHOUT BLOWING THIS THING UP. 
          RIGHT. 
          WELL, IT'S CERTAINLY, IT'S A, IT'S A, IT'S A DELICATE PATH BECAUSE THE, YOU KNOW, THIS COUNCIL HAS TRIED TO BE PROACTIVE, UNDERSTANDING THAT, YOU KNOW, UH, MOVING THE CITY FORWARD IS, AND REVITALIZING DOWNTOWN IS SOMETHING THAT MANY OF US HOLD NEAR AND DEAR. 
          UH, AND SO, YOU KNOW, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE NOT, WE WANT TO, WE WANT TO ENGAGE, UH, THE CITY AND MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY JUST GETS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THESE PROJECTS, UH, FIRSTHAND, UH, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST AHEAD OF DECISIONS REALLY, HASN'T GOTTEN A LOT OF, UH, FEEDBACK ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. 
          AND THEN THE FEEDBACK COMES AFTER THE THING, UH, IS BROUGHT FORWARD. 
          UH, AND, AND SO THERE'S JUST NOT A WHOLE LOT THAT WE CAN DO BECAUSE GETTING EVERYBODY TO AGREE ON LANDSCAPING OF A SQUARE IS, IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. 
          IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. 
          AND IF YOU SAID, DOES EVERYBODY WANT TO KEEP IT THE SAME? YOU'D GET A LOT OF NOS AND SOME YESES AND YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT, JUST A LOT OF NOS. 
          AND SO WHAT, WE'RE NOT TRYING TO, WHAT I'M NOT TRYING TO DO IS GET YOU TO GO AND BUILD CONSENSUS FOR THE COUNCIL. 
          AND ON BEHALF OF THE COUNCIL, THAT'S NOT THE POINT. 
          THE POINT IS TO, UM, GIVE THE PUBLIC AND OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT IS BEING PREPARED IN, UH, IN THE EARLY GOINGS OF THE, UH, OF THE, UH, THE DESIGN. 
          SO THAT ANY OF THOSE SMALLER, UH, FEEDBACKS AND IDEAS THAT PEOPLE HAVE THAT ARE MAYBE GOOD THAT WERE, UH, MAYBE WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF COULD, COULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE COUNCIL AS FEEDBACK AS WELL AS TO YOU AS WELL. 
          AND THAT'S KIND OF THE, THE, THE SPIRIT OF IT. 
          SO I LOVE THE PRESENTATION THAT YOU JUST GAVE. 
          AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD PRESENTATION, UH, TO GIVE, UH, IN A, YOU KNOW, IN A DIFFERENT SETTING THAN THE ONE WE HAVE HERE, UH, AND THEN TO, UH, GIVE THE PEOPLE THAT DO PARTICIPATE IN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THAT FEEDBACK. 
          AND THEN, UM, BRING THAT FEEDBACK, UH, TO THE COUNCIL AND, AND ALLOW US TO HAVE ANOTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT IT AT THAT TIME. 
          ANOTHER, ANOTHER, UH, LET'S SAY IT'S ANOTHER PRESENTATION STYLE THAT WE'VE USED IN THE PAST IS THE STORYTELLING MODE, HAVING AN IMAGE THAT SHOWS WHERE THE HISTORIC FEATURES ARE REALLY BUILDING THE STORY BEHIND WHAT WAS THERE, AND THEN WHAT'S YET TO COME AND THEN MAYBE SHOWING SOME 3D IMAGES OF PEOPLE IN THE PARK SO THAT THEY CAN REALLY SEE WHAT IT'S GOING TO FEEL LIKE HERE FOR THOSE THAT CAN'T READ PLANS VERY WELL. 
          Y'ALL SEE IT A LOT AS YOU WELL KNOW, BUT SOME PEOPLE WILL GET A LITTLE DISORIENTED WITH EVEN THE SCALE, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, THE REAL DIFFERENCE MAKER IN THIS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT IS GOING TO BE THE PROMINENT. 
          I MEAN, IT'S GOING TO REALLY, EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOING TO LOOK GREAT AND SUPPORT THE OVERALL PART, BUT THAT PROMINENCE IS GOING TO BE VERY IMPACTFUL WHEN IT'S IN THE GROUND, BUT YOU REALLY CAN'T TELL IT BY LOOKING AT THIS IMAGE. 
          SO IT WOULD HELP US COMMUNICATE TO THEM TO, TO, TO DO THIS JUST SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY, BUT SHOW THEM HOW WE CAME UP WITH THESE IDEAS, WHY WE PUT IN THE RADIUS, UNIFIER, WHY WE HAVE THE POST SCAPE, WHERE WE DO KIND OF SHOWING IT LAYERING UP AND THEN MAYBE SHOWING THEM SOME OPTIONS WITHIN THIS SAYING THAT WE CAN DO A SCAPE LIKE THIS OR OUT OF THIS MATERIAL. 
          WE COULD DO ONE LIKE THAT AND LETTING THEM HAVE SOME INPUT INTO IT. 
          YEAH, I THINK IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU HAVE YOUR MIND WRAPPED AROUND IT PRETTY 
          [01:20:01]
WELL. 
          UM, SO, AND YOU DO A VERY GOOD JOB AT PRESENTING, UM, AND, UH, UH, CREATIVELY AND THOUGHTFULLY. 
          SO I'M NOT, I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT IT SO LONG AS YOU'RE THE ONE BEHIND IT, BECAUSE I THINK YOU'VE, YOU'VE BEEN DEVELOPING A LOT OF TRUST WITH US UP UNTIL THIS POINT. 
          AND, AND SO WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU AT THE HELM. 
          WELL, THAT SOUNDS OKAY TO YOU. 
          WE WOULD ENJOY PUTTING THAT TOGETHER. 
          AND I KIND OF, I DO THINK THE STORYTELLING AND EXPLAINING HOW WE DERIVE THIS WILL GET MORE PEOPLE INVESTED AND EXCITED THAN JUST SAYING HERE IT IS. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO WELL, AND IT VERY WELL COULD HAVE TO BE VIRTUAL AT THIS POINT AS WELL. 
          SO IF WE HAVE IT, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY IN THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS, FOUR OR FIVE WEEKS, YOU KNOW, IT VERY WELL COULD BE, UM, VIRTUAL MAYBE RIGHT AFTER THE FIRST OF THE NEW YEAR. 
          DO Y'ALL HAVE A DATE? I KNOW, I KNOW THIS ISN'T NEW. 
          I PINGED YOU ABOUT IT BEFORE, JUST SO YOU CAN BE THINKING ABOUT ALL THAT. 
          YES. 
          I THINK PROPOSED THE 14TH OR 16TH OF JANUARY. 
          I WANT TO SAY 16. 
          YES. 
          MA'AM IT'S THE 14TH, THURSDAY, THE 14TH AT 7:00 PM. 
          IS THAT PROPOSED DATE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND WOULD, WOULD THAT TIMEFRAME WORK FOR ME? LIKE, WOULD THAT SLOW YOU DOWN NECESSARILY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE RECEIVING ON THIS PROJECT AT THAT TIME PRESENTATION THAT I'M PROPOSING WE CAN DO WITHIN THAT TIME PERIOD? AND IF IT'S A FEEDBACK WE GET AS MINOR, I DON'T THINK SO. 
          THE QUESTION THAT WE WOULD HAVE FOR US AS A TEAM, INCLUDING YOU GUYS, IS, SHOULD WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR DOCUMENTS PRIOR TO THAT MEETING? OR SHOULD WE HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON UNTIL THEN? COUNSEL? DO YOU HAVE THOUGHTS ON THAT QUESTION? I HAVE A QUESTION IN GENERAL, PLEASE. 
          THIS IS A REAL FLOOR SCALE GUIDE. 
          YES. 
          I JUST, IN REGARDS TO HER VIRTUAL IDEA, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A VIDEO, WHICH WE CAN POST ONLINE SO PEOPLE CAN WATCH IT DURING THEIR OWN TIME OR JUST LIKE SCROLLING THROUGH THEIR FACEBOOK OR EVEN ON OUR WEBSITE. 
          SO THAT WAY THEY DON'T HAVE TO LIKE WATCH IT AT A SPECIFIC TIME, UM, A VIDEO OF THE, UM, OF THE DESIGN OR US PRESENTING IT. 
          UM, YOU WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW, LIKE YOU COULD INTERACT AND TELL THE HISTORY AND LIKE GO INTO EXPLANATION. 
          CAN YOU MAKE THAT INTO A VIDEO THAT WE CAN JUST LIKE REPOST ONLINE? CAN WE ASK HER TO GIVE A CHRIS? YEAH, SHE'S MADE A COUPLE VIDEOS HERE. 
          IT MAY NOT BE HIGHLY REFINED. 
          UM, BUT I THINK WE COULD, I THINK IT'S JUST GOING TO BE REALLY HARD TO GET RESIDENTS INVOLVED ALL AT ONE TIME. 
          AND IF WE TRULY VALUE THEIR FEEDBACK, GIVING THEM THE ABILITY TO WATCH THE VIDEO, YOU KNOW, WITHIN A WEEK TIMEFRAME ON THEIR OWN TIME AND READING THEIR COMMENTS MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE HELPFUL TO THIS PART OF THE CITY. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK IF ANYTHING, WE COULD, WE COULD, WE COULD HAVE THIS IN A POWERPOINT AND EVEN A VOICE OVER WITH ME. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE EASIEST RATHER THAN A, THAN A MOVIE VIDEO. 
          BUT I THINK I COULD TELL THE STORY. 
          AND DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD WORK JUST AS WELL AS JUST A VERBAL DESCRIPTION AS IT GOES THROUGH THE PRESENTATION? I THINK YOU DO AN AMAZING JOB AT DESCRIBING THINGS. 
          AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE WILL LOVE YOU AS LONG AS YOU JUST GO ON THERE AND CONTINUE TO BE GENUINE. 
          I THINK YOU'LL, YOU'LL DO AN EXCELLENT JOB. 
          OKAY. 
          THEN LET'S DO IT. 
          I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT, UH, COUNSELOR FLORES, KALE SAID. 
          SO, AND MAYBE EVEN AS MUCH AS LIKE A, UM, IF IT'S VIRTUAL AND YOU'RE DOING SOME KIND OF RINGCENTRAL OR, UH, SOME KIND OF ZOOM SITUATION, UM, WE CAN BROADCAST IT LIVE ON FACEBOOK. 
          OR IF THAT IS TOO TECHNICAL, WE CAN RECORD THE SCREEN, UH, AND THE PRESENTATION AND THAT DYNAMIC, AND THEN UPLOAD THAT TO OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. AND ON THAT CITY PAGE, MAYBE EVEN CREATE A, A PAGE I'M TALKING TO IT, YOU KNOW, UH, A DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION URL, UH, WHERE THE PRESENTATION COULD BE HOSTED WITH SOME TEXTS. 
          IT DOESN'T HAVE TO ALL FALL ON YOU AND TO DO THAT. 
          UH, CERTAINLY WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SUPPORT, UH, IN, IN THOSE WAYS AS WELL, BUT GETTING, UH, GETTING THE INFORMATION OUT THERE AT THIS STAGE, UH, IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE CAN ENGAGE AND GET SOME OF THAT FEEDBACK, UH, IN THE EARLIER STAGES, I THINK WOULD, UH, WOULD BE HELPFUL. 
          UM, UH, THE QUESTION STILL OUT THERE THOUGH, AS TO WHETHER OR NOT, UH, BETWEEN NOW AND JANUARY 16TH, WE WALKED THEM TO PUT PENCILS DOWN OR WHETHER OR NOT WE THINK THAT, UH, THEY SHOULD CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD. 
          AND I'D LOVE YOUR, UH, TO GET SOME FEEDBACK ON THAT. 
          [01:25:03]
OKAY. 
          CAN YOU CLARIFY THAT A LITTLE BIT? LIKE, DO WE WANT THEM TO STOP DEVELOPING IT AND JUST, I GUESS I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION. 
          WELL, WHAT ANNE IS SAYING IS THAT THE, THE, THIS PROJECT IS ALREADY PAST THE POINT OF WHERE IT'S NOT A BLANK SLATE. 
          IT'S MORE ABOUT WE'RE PRESENTING KIND OF A VISION, UH, AND YOU KNOW, THESE CONCEPTS AND ASKING FOR FEEDBACK ON THE PLAN THAT WE ARE EMBARKING ON, UH, AND, AND IS UNDER CONTRACT. 
          AND SO THEY ARE ACTIVELY BUILDING THIS OUT. 
          THEY'RE GETTING FEEDBACK AND INCORPORATING NEW ELEMENTS, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF ENGINEERING, UH, AN ARCHITECTURAL WORK BEHIND A CONCEPT PLAN THAT THERE'LL BE WORKING ON OVER THE NEXT SIX WEEKS BY CONTRACT. 
          AND SO SHE SAYING, YOU KNOW, IF WE CONTINUE DOWN THIS PATH, AND THEN THERE'S A HARD CHANGE AS A RESULT OF SOME PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, UM, WOULD THAT BE, UH, YOU KNOW, IS THAT THE RIGHT PATH OR WOULD IT BE BETTER TO SLOW DOWN RIGHT NOW UNTIL WE GO THROUGH A PROCESS OF A PUBLIC HEARING? UH, I THINK THE PLAN THAT YOU'VE GOT IS, IS PRETTY AMAZING. 
          SO I THINK THE PUBLIC WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK, BUT I DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT THERE WOULD BE MAJOR REVISIONS, BUT SOME OF THE POINTS AND QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE IN ABOUT THE TABLES AND THE HISTORIC COMMISSION AND THE TREE, AND A FEW OF THOSE THINGS WOULD BE THE AREAS WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE MOVES AFTER THE 16TH, DEPENDING ON IF EVERYBODY SAYS, YOU KNOW, WE, WE, WE LOVE THESE TABLES. 
          WE WANT THEM TO STAY RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE, FOR EXAMPLE, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          I'M NOT SURE THAT'S WHAT, UH, THE GENERAL POPULATION WOULD SAY, BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE HAS TO STILL BE SOME FLEXIBILITY. 
          SO W IF YOU CONTINUE DOWN THE PATH THAT YOU'RE ON AND COUNCIL OR PUBLIC IS GIVING FEEDBACK, AND THE COUNCIL IS AFFIRMING THAT FEEDBACK, YOU WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO MAKE CHANGES AFTER THE 16TH, EVEN IF YOU'RE GOING, THAT'S KIND OF MY THINKING IS MARCH FORWARD, BUT NOT IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE'RE BOXED IN BY THE 16TH. 
          NO, THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT EVERY NOW AND THEN IS THE HISTORIC COMMISSIONS. 
          BOTH OF THEM SAYING, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO CHANGE THE CIRCULATION IN THE PARK. 
          WE DON'T WANT YOU TO TOUCH THE SIDEWALKS THAT, THAT KEEPS ME AWAKE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT THE PUBLIC WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT. 
          WE'VE KNOWN THAT THAT WAS THE BIGGEST, UH, DIALOGUE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE, AND I'M GLAD YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED IT, AND IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE FOR SURE. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT TIMING AND I HATE TO SWITCH SUBJECTS ON YOU, BUT, UM, THE TIMING OF THE HISTORIC COMMISSION IS KIND OF BARE TIMING THE WAY I'M KIND OF READING IT. 
          UM, AND I'M WONDERING IF WE CAN'T PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER, MAYBE ON, MAYBE THIS IS MORE OF A, A QUESTION THAN A, THAN A DIRECTION IS BETWEEN PARKS AND REC CITY COUNCIL, UM, BELOW. 
          I MEAN, WE NEED, I THINK WE NEED TO APPROACH THEM TOGETHER. 
          AM I MAKING SENSE? I MEAN, WE NEED TO MAKE A REQUEST. 
          I THINK THE FORMAL REQUEST, BECAUSE WE'RE, WE NEED TO MOVE QUICKLY. 
          WE'D LIKE TO, I THINK WE ALL WANT THIS BILL NEXT CALENDAR YEAR, AND IF THEY WAIT ANOTHER 90 DAYS TO GET BACK WITH US, IT'S GOING TO BE TOUGH. 
          WELL, I THINK THAT SHOULD BE A SEPARATE TRACK THAT MARCHES FORWARD IMMEDIATELY, BECAUSE THESE QUESTIONS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU THE FEEDBACK, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT, OR DON'T, THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE THAT FEEDBACK. 
          SO NOTHING SHOULD DELAY THE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION AND PUBLIC, UH, TOWN HALL TYPE ENGAGEMENT EVENT. 
          SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY BEARING ON THAT, RIGHT? SO WHETHER YOU WANT TO GO FAST OR NOT, WE STILL HAVE TO GO WITH THE PACE OF THE, WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THE HISTORIC COMMISSION WILL, UH, YOU KNOW, WILL ALLOW, BUT ANYTHING THE COUNCIL CAN DO TO HELP IN THAT REGARD, AS FAR AS FURTHERING THOSE CONVERSATIONS ALSO, PLEASE, UH, DON'T HESITATE TO LET US KNOW. 
          OKAY. 
          I DEFINITELY SEE THE CHALLENGES ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BENEFIT IS THIS IS BEING RECORDED AND WE CAN CERTAINLY USE WHAT WE HAVE TO THIS EVENING, UH, TO KIND OF HELP START UP THAT PROCESS OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. 
          YOU KNOW, WE CAN CERTAINLY PULL THIS CLIP, UH, OUT OF THE AGENDA, MAYBE EVEN MAKE IT, UH, UH, AS ALL OF OUR MEETINGS, OUR ARCHIVE, WE POST AND WATCH AT ANY TIME, BUT MAYBE PULLING THIS CLIP AND THEN PRESENTING THAT AND HELPING PUSH THAT THROUGHOUT. 
          AND MAYBE EVEN MAKING A SEPARATE PAGE ON A WEBSITE SAYING, HEY, YOU KNOW, UH, UH, AND SOLICITING FEEDBACK THAT WAY PRIOR TO THAT TIME. 
          SO MAYBE, UM, YOU KNOW, WE CAN BE AWARE OF ANY STRONG PUBLIC SENTIMENT, EITHER WAY, UH, ON THIS PARK. 
          UH, THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER THING, BUT I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND, UH, TIME, UM, BEING A BEST IN SOHN, YOU KNOW, YOU ALL WORKING, YOU'RE UNDER CONTRACT, ESSENTIALLY, WE'RE, WE'RE PAYING YOU. 
          AND AS WELL AS THE, THE, UM, GOING FORWARD WITH, UH, 
          [01:30:01]
PARTNERING AND FIGURING THINGS OUT WITH THE HISTORICAL COMMISSIONS, UM, JUST AN IDEA, THAT'S ALSO A GOOD ONE. 
          AND DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH FROM US AT THIS POINT? I BELIEVE I DO. 
          I THINK, UH, WE, I THINK WE HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE PUBLIC PRESENTATION, HOW WE'D LIKE TO FORMAT THAT. 
          I THINK THERE'S SOME, SOME GOOD THOUGHTS THERE. 
          UM, I GUESS ONE LAST QUESTION REGARDING THE HISTORIC CONDITIONS IS, IS THERE AN ORDER TO MEETING WITH THEM? IN OTHER WORDS, WE HAVE MET WITH, UH, WITH KAY JOHNSON. 
          IT, IT SHE'D MENTIONED THAT SHE WAS GOING TO GO THE STATE HERSELF, BUT SHOULD WE CALL THE STATE OURSELVES AND INITIATED, OR ALLOW HER TO FACILITATE THAT? I DON'T KNOW THE DYNAMICS THERE OR THE PROCESS, I WOULD SAY, ENGAGE THE STATE ON YOUR OWN. 
          AND IF YOU'RE DOING IT, BE EMAIL, CERTAINLY BRING KATE INTO THAT DIALOGUE. 
          SO THAT WOULD BE THE, THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION AS WELL AS THE BOARD, BUT, UH, IT MIGHT BE WORTH FINE ASKING WHEN THEIR NEXT MEETING IS AND WHAT THE, WHAT THAT PROCESS MIGHT LOOK LIKE. 
          JERRY HENDRIX SHOULD BE ABLE TO HELP YOU WITH THAT AS WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK THAT'S IT. 
          CAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. 
          NO, NOT AT THE MOMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          GREAT PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          Y'ALL HAVE A NICE EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TONIGHT. 
          WE REALLY ENJOYED IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
           THEN I MUST REMAKE JOSE SAMUEL CMR, AUDREY            LACTATION CARE CENTER. 
                  FAMILIA  . 
          HI, I'M 
          [01:35:01]
BILL SMITH. 
          I'M THE STORE MANAGER HERE AT THE KYLE LIBRARY THRIFT SHOP. 
          AND I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE JANUARY. 
          WELL, WE'VE DONE A NUMBER OF THINGS OVER THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS. 
          UM, ONE IS WE'VE ADDED A CREDIT CARD SYSTEM WHERE WE NOW ACCEPT CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS. 
          WE'VE EXPANDED THE STORE HOURS. 
          WE OPEN NOW AT NINE INSTEAD OF 10, AND THEN ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS WE'RE OPEN TILL SIX. 
          OTHER THAN THAT, WE'RE JUST GOING TO THE STORE AND CLEANED IT UP A LITTLE BIT. 
          THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE ORGANIZING, REPLACED THEM LIGHTING. 
          UH, HAVE YOU HAVE THE FURNITURE DEPARTMENT? AND LIKE I SAID, JUST OVERALL, WE'LL GET A LOT OF LITTLE THINGS TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF IT. 
           WELL, WE'RE ACCEPTING MOST ANYTHING EXCEPT CLOTHING. 
          WE'VE SET UP HOUSEHOLD ITEMS. KNICK-KNACKS SMALL FURNITURE BOOKS, PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING. 
          HOUSEWARES HARDWARE, SMALL TABLES AND CHAIRS AND TABLES, COFFEE TABLES, NIGHTSTANDS, ANY OF THOSE THINGS, SMALL DESKS, A LITTLE, EXCEPT ANY OF THE TYPE OF MERCHANDISE. 
          THE FUNDS WE GENERATE THROUGH THE SALE OF THOSE ITEMS GOES DIRECTLY TO THE KYLE PUBLIC LIBRARY AND SUPPORT ALL OF THEIR PROGRAMS.  I'M LOOKING LIKE SECONDHAND AS TO WHERE THEY'RE COMFORTABLE STEPPING INTO MY GROUP PANTS. 
          SO PRETTY MUCH. 
          AND THEN WHILE I'M HERE EXCEPT FOR MY GRANDKIDS. 
          SO IT'S MORE LIGHT, IT'S BIGGER, ORGANIZED, CLEAN. 
          I'D REALLY LIKE TO THANK THE PHYSICIANS OF CONFERENCE SPORT THAT THEY'VE SHOWN THE STORE AND THE SPORT THAT THEY ARE IN FACT GIVING TO THE LIBRARY, BECAUSE THE FUNDS THAT WOULD GENERATE HERE ARE SUPPORTING PROGRAMS, UPDATE KYLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. 
          AND WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGES WE MADE HERE AT THE STORE. 
          MY NAME'S PAUL FALLON, I'M THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR HERE AT THE CITY OF KYLE, AS WE THINK OF PROGRAMMINGS, NOT JUST LIKE PROGRAMS, WHEREIN PEOPLE ARE DOING SOMETHING FOR CHILDREN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT I THINK OF IT IN A BROADER CONTEXT. 
          AND SO YES, THEY PROVIDE FUNDING FOR A LOT OF PROGRAMS THAT WE DO. 
          IT MAY JUST BE MAX. 
          DO YOU LIKE THIS ONE? YEAH. 
          MY NAME IS ASIA AND I GREW UP HEARING CENTRAL TEXAS. 
          I GOT MARRIED WHEN I WAS 22. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S YOUNG WHEN MAX WAS ABOUT SIX MONTHS OLD, I DECIDED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL FULL-TIME AND I KNEW I WOULD NEED A BREAST PUMP. 
          AND SO MY LACTATION CONSULTANT WAS LIKE, WELL, WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR WIC? SURE ENOUGH. 
          I QUALIFIED FOR WIC. 
          AND THEN I GOT ACCESS TO NUTRITIONISTS AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE COOLEST THING EVER. 
          AND SO I DECIDED TO STICK WITH IT. 
          WIC HAS GIVEN ME ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS. 
          WIC HAS GIVEN ME THE EDUCATION TO KNOW WHY I SHOULD HAVE THESE HEALTHY FOODS AND THEN HOW TO PREPARE THEM. 
          REALLY KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. 
          AND WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER, YOU DO BETTER WITH WIC. 
          THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE THAT CAN HELP YOU AND REACH OUT TO YOU AND PROVIDE RESOURCES TO YOU WHEN YOU'RE PREGNANT AND ALONE. 
          THE WORLD IS REALLY BIG, RIGHT? AND TO GO TO THIS ONE PLACE WHERE THERE'S PEOPLE IN THERE WHO CARE ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF YOUR PREGNANCY AND YOU AND YOUR BABY, THAT HAS MEANT A LOT TO ME, EDUCATION AND CONNECTION, AND LIKE A GROUP AND PEOPLE. 
          AND THAT'S, I MEAN, THAT'S EVERYTHING YOU NEED. 
          I THINK REAGAN 
          [01:40:03]
   KYLE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES USE NEARLY 4 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER EACH DAY FOR EVERYTHING FROM BATHING, COOKING AND DRINKING, JUST SWIMMING AND IRRIGATION. 
          MOST PEOPLE JUST ASSUME THE WATER WILL TURN ON WHEN THEY RUN THE TAP. 
          BUT DON'T THINK ABOUT HOW IT GOT THERE. 
          HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHERE YOUR WATER COMES FROM? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED OR HOW IT'S TREATED BEFORE IT GETS TO YOUR HOME DRIVE IN AND AROUND ALMOST EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE WATER TOWERS DOTTING THE KYLE SKYLINE. 
          OUR WATER COMES FROM LAKE DUNLAP, WHICH FLOWS OUT FROM CANYON LAKE, NEAR NEW BRAUNFELS. 
          WE ALSO HAVE FIVE WELLS IN TOWN THAT DRAW WATER FROM THE EDWARDS AQUIFER. 
          AND OUR USAGE IS BASED UPON PERMITS ISSUED BY GROUNDWATER AUTHORITIES. 
          THE WATER FROM THE LAKE IS CALLED SURFACE WATER. 
          AND THE WATER FROM THE WELLS IS CALLED GROUNDWATER. 
          THEY ARE BLENDED AND TREATED ONCE THEY GET INTO OUR WATER SYSTEM HERE IN KYLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, SOME OF OUR WATER WILL COME FROM THE CHORIZO AQUIFER IN LEE COUNTY THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ALLIANCE, REGIONAL WATER AUTHORITY. 
          BUT FOR NOW THE WATER SUPPLY IS THE SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER. 
          WE MENTIONED EARLIER. 
          OUR WATER SYSTEM IS MAINTAINED BY HIGHLY SKILLED AND TRAINED WATER OPERATORS WHO ARE LICENSED BY THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          THEIR JOB IS TO ADD THE RIGHT BLEND OF DISINFECTANT TO MAKE SURE THE WATER IS SAFE FOR DISTRIBUTION TO OUR CUSTOMERS. 
          WATER TREATMENT MAKES SURE THE WATER YOU USE DAILY IS CLEAN AND SAFE. 
          AFTER METICULOUS ROUNDS OF TESTING, WATER TRAVELS TO YOUR HOME THROUGH A COMPLEX SYSTEM OF UNDERGROUND PIPES. 
          ONCE IT CROSSES OVER FROM THE MAIN PIPES, IT ENTERS YOUR HOME WHERE YOU USE IT FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO AROUND YOUR HOUSE. 
          TURN ON THE TAP TO WASH VEGGIES, TAKE A SHOWER, FLUSH THE TOILET, WATER YOUR GARDEN, OR MAKE A NICE CUP OF TEA. 
          EACH MONTH YOU RECEIVE A UTILITY BILL FROM THE CITY OF KYLE. 
          IT'S BROKEN DOWN INTO SEVERAL SECTIONS, DEPENDING ON THE UTILITY SERVICES YOU RECEIVE. 
          SOME CUSTOMERS RECEIVE WATER, WASTEWATER AND TRASH SERVICE. 
          ALONG WITH THE STORMWATER UTILITY FEE, OTHERS RECEIVE ONLY WASTEWATER OR ONLY TRASH SERVICE. 
          LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR UTILITY BILL. 
          YOU'LL NOTICE SOMETHING CALLED A WATER MINIMUM CHARGE. 
          THIS IS THE FEE CHARGED BY THE WATER DEPARTMENT EACH MONTH. 
          IT IS A FIXED COST THAT HELPS PAY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS. 
          THE FEE ALSO PAYS FOR THE METER TECHS THAT READ YOUR WATER METER AND UTILITY STAFF THAT GENERATE THE BILLS AS THE FUNDING MECHANISM FOR HOW THE WATER UTILITY OPERATES. 
          THE WATER USAGE FEE IS A DIFFERENT LINE ON YOUR BILL. 
          THAT IS THE RATE YOU PAY FOR EACH THOUSAND GALLONS OF WATER USED, MEANING WATER THAT RUNS THROUGH THE METER, OUTSIDE YOUR HOME IN KYLE, AS IN MANY OTHER CITIES, WE USE A TIERED RATE STRUCTURE TO ENCOURAGE CONSERVATION. 
          SO THE MORE YOU USE THE HIGHER THE RATE PER THOUSAND GALLONS, WHEN IT COMES TO THE WATER USAGE FEE, YOU AS THE CUSTOMER ARE IN CONTROL OF HOW MUCH WATER YOU USE. 
          SO EACH MONTH YOU CAN DECIDE TO MAKE A THOUSAND CUPS OF TEA, TAKE A HUNDRED SHOWERS, DRINK FOUR DOZEN 
          [01:45:01]
GLASSES OF WATER OR IRRIGATE YOUR GARDEN FOR TWO HOURS A DAY. 
          JUST KNOW THAT THE MORE YOU USE THE HIGHER, THE RATE, ALL OF THE WATER THAT GOES DOWN THE DRAIN OR IS FLUSHED DOWN. 
          THE TOILET BECOMES WASTEWATER. 
          ONCE THE WASTEWATER LEAVES YOUR HOME, IT TRAVELS THROUGH A DIFFERENT SET OF PIPES TO OUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. 
          HERE IT IS TREATED THROUGH A MULTI-STEP PROCESS, TAKING OUT HARMFUL PARTICLES AND MAKING IT SAFE AND CLEAN TO BE PUT BACK INTO THE RIVERS AND STREAMS. OUR OUTFLOW FROM THE PLANT IS RELEASED INTO PLUM CREEK AND IS CONSTANTLY REGULATED BY THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY OR TCEQ. 
          TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT YOUR UTILITY BILL. 
          IF YOU RECEIVE WASTEWATER SERVICE FROM THE CITY, YOU WILL SEE THE SAME BASIC STRUCTURE AS THE WATER USAGE. 
          THERE IS A MONTHLY SERVICE FEE AND A RATE FOR USAGE. 
          SINCE THERE ARE NO METERS GOING OUT OF HOMES, THE RATE IS DETERMINED BY AVERAGING THREE MONTHS OF WATER USAGE BETWEEN DECEMBER AND FEBRUARY OF EACH YEAR. 
          WE USE THOSE MONTHS IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE THEY ARE WHEN MOST PEOPLE USE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF WATER. 
          SO HOW CAN YOU CONTROL COSTS ON YOUR UTILITY BILL? WE RECOMMEND INSTALLING LOW FLOW TOILETS AND SHOWER HEADS TURNING OFF WATER WHILE YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH, INSTALLING ENERGY AND WATER EFFICIENT APPLIANCES, RUNNING FULL DISHWASHERS INSTEAD OF HALF LOADS. 
          AND IN GENERAL, PAYING ATTENTION TO HOW YOU USE WATER AROUND YOUR HOME. 
          FIND AREAS WHERE YOU CAN PERSONALLY CUT BACK. 
          EVERY GALLON NOT USED WILL SAVE YOU MONEY, PARTICULARLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN THE USAGE IS AVERAGED. 
          IN ADDITION TO LOWERING YOUR COSTS, WATER CONSERVATION HAS THE BENEFIT OF BEING GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. 
          THE WATER WE USE FROM THE EDWARDS AQUIFER IS ALSO FROM THE SAME SOURCE USED BY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS IN OUR REGION, BY FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED WATERING SCHEDULE FOR IRRIGATION AND BY REDUCING WATER RUNOFF THAT IS WASTED. 
          YOU CAN SEE LOWER BILLS AND KNOW YOU'RE PROTECTING OUR MOST VALUABLE NATURAL RESOURCE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO THIS IS MY FAMILY. 
          THIS IS MY SON, ISAIAH, AND THIS IS, UH, MARIA, OUR NEWBORN FOUR MONTHS. 
          AND THIS IS MY LOVELY HUSBAND, CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS. AND THEN I'M KIMBERLY. 
          WHEN I FIRST FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT, IT WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE WHEN IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S NOT LIKE IN YOUR PLANS RIGHT THEN, AND IT POPS UP, IT'S LIKE, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE. 
          SOMEBODY TOLD ME ABOUT WIC. 
          AND SO WHEN I CAME HERE, IT WAS KIND OF CRAZY. 
          I WAS LIKE, YOU MEAN, I GET ALL THIS, LIKE I GET THE MILK, THE CHEESE, THE EGGS. 
          I WAS SO EXCITED. 
          CAUSE IT WAS JUST LIKE CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY. 
          YOU KNOW, WAKE IS AN AMAZING PROGRAM FOR YOU. 
          YOU JUST ASK ONE QUESTION AND THEY'LL GIVE YOU ANSWERS TO EVERYTHING. 
          THAT'S YOU JUST PROBABLY DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF LIKE EXISTED. 
          THE INFORMATION WITH BREASTFEEDING IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, I'M A FRIEND, I'M A FIRST TIME BREASTFEEDING MOM. 
          AND THAT INFORMATION IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. 
          THERE'S MUCH TO LEARN AND MUCH TO LEARN. 
          DOESN'T JUST STOP AFTER ONE. 
          THERE'S A LOT MORE TO LEARN AND WIC IS THERE TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU. 
          SO CONTINUE, CONTINUE. 
          CONTINUE. 
          IF YOU'RE A YOUNG MOTHER, YOU'RE DEFINITELY NOT ALONE WHEN YOU STOP. 
          AND YOU THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOUR CHILD LOOKS AT YOU AND SMILES AT THOSE CUTE DIMPLES AND THEM COLORFUL, BRIGHT EYES, LIKE IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH IT. 
          IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH IT. 
            BACK HERE WITH THE CITY OF KYLE I'M IN FRONT OF CITY HALL AND I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN PAY YOUR UTILITY BILL. 
          ONE OF THEM IS RIGHT HERE IN LET'S GO INSIDE AND CHECK IT OUT. 
          YOU CAN COME INSIDE AND PAY IT. 
          ONE OF THE WINDOWS AND OUR FRIENDLY STAFF WILL HELP YOU OUT. 
          IT'S YOUR RECEIPT. 
          OKAY. 
          GO TO THE PAYMENT WINDOW. 
          ONE OF OUR FRIENDLY STAFF WILL BE THERE TO HELP YOU OUT. 
          GOT A CRAZY SCHEDULE. 
          YOU CAN'T 
          [01:50:01]
MAKE IT INSIDE OR TO THE DRIVE-THROUGH. 
          WHEN STAFF IS THERE, COME ON OVER AND DROP YOUR UTILITY BILLING PAYMENT OFF HERE AT OUR UTILITY PAYMENT, DROPBOX IT'S ON FRONT STREET RIGHT NEXT TO THE VFW. 
          ANOTHER CONVENIENT WAY TO PAY YOUR BILL. 
          YOUR UTILITY BILLS ARE DUE THE 15TH OF EVERY MONTH. 
          THE DATE NEVER CHANGES. 
          IT'S ALWAYS THE 15TH. 
          SO IT'S KIND OF EASY TO REMEMBER, EVEN PUT A NOTE ON YOUR, ON YOUR CALENDAR, ON YOUR PHONE OR ON YOUR OLD-STYLE CALENDAR ON THE WALL. 
          EITHER WAY, THE BILL IS ALWAYS DUE ON THE 15TH. 
          DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN ALSO GO TO HEB AND WALMART TO PAY YOUR UTILITY BILLS? THEY'RE SUPER CONVENIENT. 
          CAUSE YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE THERE FOR A LOT OF YOUR SHOPPING. 
          ANYWAY, YOU CAN ALSO DO AN ONLINE BILL PAYMENT EITHER THROUGH OUR SYSTEM OR THROUGH YOUR OWN FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. 
          MAKES IT EASY. 
          YOU NEVER FORGET THE BILLS TAKEN CARE OF EVERY MONTH. 
           MY HUSBAND'S NAME IS MATTHEW. 
          WE HAVE FOUR KIDS TOGETHER. 
          I WAS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL AND IT WAS REALLY SCARY BECAUSE I DID NOT THINK THAT I WAS GOING TO BE TEEN MOM. 
          AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS WHEN RICK INTRODUCED ME TO ALL THE PROGRAMS THAT THEY OFFER, IT REALLY TOOK THAT FEAR AWAY AND GAVE ME A CONFIDENCE. 
          LIKE I CAN DO THIS. 
          I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOW, BUT A HEALTHY WAS IF I WOULD HAVE NEVER TALKED TO ME, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT BUYING SODA, I'M NOT BUYING TUNA. 
          I'M NOT BUYING CHIPS. 
          I'M NOT BUYING JUNK FOOD. 
          I'M BUYING HEALTHY STUFF. 
          SO I'M ACTUALLY LEADING A HEALTHY LIFE FOR MY KIDS AND FOR MYSELF, I MEAN, MY DAUGHTER, SHE LOVES FRUIT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND I WOULD PUSH HER IN THE BASKET AND SHE WOULD TELL ME, MOMMY, I WANT THIS, I WANT THAT. 
          I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BECAUSE OF WIC. 
          AND YOU KNOW, LIKE IT WAS REALLY AWESOME. 
          I LOVE IT. 
          I REALLY DIDN'T FEEL IT WASN'T FOR THAT SUPPORT. 
          AND I MEAN THAT I WAS A YOUNG MOTHER THAT I COULDN'T DO IT. 
          I REALLY HONESTLY DON'T THINK THAT I WOULD HAVE HAD THAT MOTIVATION TO WANT TO DO BETTER. 
          MAKE COMPLETELY CHANGED MY OUTLOOK ON MY LIFE. 
          I'M HAPPY IN MY LIFE AND I WOULDN'T EVER TAKE, TAKE ANYTHING TO HIM. 
          I WOULD NEVER DO IT ANY OTHER WAY.

          I WORK IN THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. 
          I AM THE PUBLIC WORKS SECRETARY AND I HAVE BEEN WITH THE 
          [02:00:01]
CITY 14 YEARS, THIS PAST OCTOBER 18TH, ACTUALLY, THAT'S MY NICKNAME, MOTHER HAND. 
          UM, I DO LOOK AT THEM AS MY KIDS, UM, AND EVEN THE ONES THAT ARE OLDER THAN ME. 
          I STILL LOOK AT THEM AS MY KIDS. 
          UH, IT'S JUST LIKE A BIG FAMILY HERE AND I LOVE IT.

          NO, THEY MAKE SURE I'M TAKEN CARE OF. 
          AND THAT'S NOT JUST FOR ME. 
          I SEE THAT THEY DO IT FOR ALL OF THIS AND THAT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, SO I THINK TO ME, A DAILY BASIS, I HAD A CUSTOMER CALL AND UH, A RESIDENT, I SAID THEY NEEDED, IF THERE WAS A WAY THEY COULD CLOSE DOWN A PORTION OF THEIR STREET, CAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A BLOCK PARTY. 
          AND UH, HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT DOING THAT.

          THERE'S ACTUALLY AN ORDINANCE WITH THE CITY THAT REQUIRES IT. 
          UM, BUT JESSICA CAN HELP YOU TAKE CARE OF THAT WHEN YOU GET HIM UP FRONT. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          NO PROBLEM.

          THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR TEST AND THE CITY WORKS WITH PET HUB NOW FOR THESE TASKS.

          WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

          YOU DON'T, YOU'VE ALREADY DONE THAT JUST BY BEING A CITIZEN AND JUST HAVE A PLACE TO EXIST WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY MORE MONEY, WHICH IS A THING THAT'S VERY RARE THESE DAYS. 
          I THINK ONE OF THE BIG THINGS FOR ME IS WHEN I STARTED DOING PROGRAMS WITH TEENS AND KIDS AND ADULTS. 
          SO ALL AGES PROGRAMS AND A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH, UH, INTERACTING WITH THESE TEAMS, WITH THESE KIDS.

          WELL, WE'VE DONE A NUMBER OF THINGS OVER THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS. 
          UM, ONE IS WE'VE ADDED A CREDIT CARD SYSTEM WHERE WE NOW ACCEPT CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS. 
          WE'VE EXPANDED THE STORE HOURS. 
          WE OPEN NOW AT NINE INSTEAD OF 10, AND THEN ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS WE'RE OPEN TILL SIX. 
          OTHER THAN THAT, WE'VE JUST GONE THROUGH THE STORE AND CLEANED IT UP A LITTLE BIT. 
          THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE ORGANIZING. 
          I REPLACED HIM LIGHTING, UH, ABBY OF THE FURNITURE DEPARTMENT. 
          AND LIKE I SAID, JUST OVERALL, WE'LL GET A LOT OF LITTLE THINGS TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF THE STORE.

          THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE COMFORTABLE STAYING IN MY GROUP CAN SO PRETTY MUCH. 
          AND THEN WHILE I'M HERE EXCEPT FOR MY GRANDKIDS. 
          SO IT'S MORE LIGHT, IT'S BIGGER. 
          I'LL GET NICE CLEAN. 
          YEAH. 
          I'D REALLY LIKE TO THANK THE CITIZENS OF COD FOR THE SUPPORT THAT THEY'VE SHOWN THE STORE AND THE SPORT THAT THEY ARE IN FACT GIVING TO THE LIBRARY, BECAUSE THE FUNDS THAT WE GENERATE HERE ARE SUPPORTING PROGRAMS THAT THE KYLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. 
          AND WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGES WE MADE HERE AT THE STORE. 
          MY NAME IS PAUL FALLON. 
          I'M THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR HERE FOR THE CITY. 
          SO AS WE THINK OF PROGRAMMINGS, NOT JUST LIKE PROGRAMS, WHEREIN PEOPLE ARE DOING SOMETHING FOR CHILDREN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          BUT, BUT I THINK OF IT IN A BROADER CONTEXT. 
          AND SO YES, THEY PROVIDE FUNDING FOR A LOT OF PROGRAMS THAT WE DO. 
          IT MAY JUST BE THE CRAFT SUPPLIES THAT WE HAVE OR PAY FOR PERFORMERS, OCCASIONALLY DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO THEY WILL DO LOTS OF THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          THEY ALSO PROVIDE A LOT OF FUNDING, NO, FOR THINGS THAT WE DON'T HAVE IN THE BUDGET. 
          AND WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE A BUNCH OF BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK IN THE CHILDREN'S SUPPORT THAT WE DID NOT HAVE IN THE BUDGET. 
          AND WE WANTED TO UPGRADE THE CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT. 
          WE WANTED THE KIDS TO FEEL LIKE A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE WHEN THEY COME TO THE LIBRARY. 
          SO THEY WANT TO COME HERE, CREATE A DESTINATION PLACE TO GO. 
          AND OF COURSE THE FRIENDS HELPED US PURCHASE THAT. 
          WE HAD SOME EDUCATIONAL MANIPULATIVES THAT WE PUT ON THE WALL AND THE CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT THAT OF COURSE WE DIDN'T HAVE IN OUR BUDGET. 
          AND OF COURSE YOU CAN PROBABLY HEAR CHILDREN OVER THERE RIGHT NOW. 
          YOU CAN HEAR HIM PLAYING OVER THERE RIGHT NOW, BUT THEY'RE EDUCATIONAL IN NATURE TOO. 
          THEY'RE FUN, BUT THEY'RE EDUCATIONAL. 
          SO THEY PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR ALL KINDS OF THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          I'M JANE KIRKHAM AND I'M ON THE BOARD OF THE FRIENDS, THE KYLE LIBRARY AND THE FRIENDS OF THE KYLE LIBRARY BOARD IS DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING THE KYLE LIBRARY. 
          THE MONEY WE RAISE THROUGH THE SALES HERE AT THE THRIFT SHOP, DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE LIBRARY. 
          WE'VE PROVIDED EVERYTHING FROM ARTWORK IN THE CHILDREN'S AREA TO SHELVES AND BBB CABINETS. 
          WE PROVIDE PRIZES AND SNACKS FOR THE CHILDREN'S READING PROGRAM. 
          WE'VE PAID FOR A PROJECTOR AND SCREEN FOR VARIOUS PROGRAMS AT THE LIBRARY. 
          WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON BUYING A SMART TABLE FOR THE CHILDREN'S AREA. 
          WE TRY TO HAVE THE LIBRARIANS PROVIDE THINGS THEY NEED THAT THEY CANNOT BUY THROUGH THEIR BUDGET. 
          SO, AND WE ARE ALSO VERY GRATEFUL TO THE COMMUNITY IN THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE LIBRARY, BY DONATING AND BUYING AT THE STORE SHOP 
          [02:30:52]
HAS SOME BACK HERE WITH THE CITY OF KYLE. 
          AS I WAS OUT HERE IN STEEPLECHASE PARK THIS MORNING, I RAN INTO THIS A GROUP OF FOLKS FROM ONE OF THE LOCAL CUB SCOUT PACKS HERE IN OUR AREA. 
          I'M GONNA LET THEM TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT, BUT THEY'RE HERE BECAUSE THEY ADOPTED A PARK AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL, SO APPRECIATIVE. 
          SO LET ME TURN IT OVER TO THE FOLKS WHO ARE DOING THE WORK HERE AND I'LL LET THEM TELL THEIR STORY. 
          RIGHT? TELL US WHAT YOU'RE DOING OUT HERE TODAY. 
          CLEANING UP THE CITY. 
          CAUSE YOU GUYS ADOPTED THIS PARK, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          THIS IS PART OF THE ADOPTIVE PARK PROGRAM FROM SENIOR KYLE CUB SCOUT MASTERS. 
          AND TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON 10 MONTHS AGO. 
          NOW THE FIRST SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH, CLEANING UP PEOPLE, CHASE THAT ALL KINDS OF STRANGE STUFF. 
          WE GOT STUFF IN THERE. 
          WHERE'S THE BIG TONY THING. 
          I SAW THAT SOMEWHERE. 
          SOMEBODY HAS IT. 
          THERE WE GO. 
          ALL RIGHT, BOYS, WHY DON'T YOU TELL EVERYBODY YOUR NAME'S LOGAN AND NATHAN? WELL, WE ARE GREATLY APPRECIATIVE OF EVERYTHING Y'ALL ARE DOING. 
          AND WE THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO SEE KYLE AND MOMS, DADS, WE ARE REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING OUT HERE. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I'M REALLY GLAD TO DO THIS BECAUSE YOU KEEP THE THINGS MOVING ON. 
          THE DIAS. 
          YOU DON'T HECKLE ME TOO MUCH ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SIGNING THOUSANDS OF DOCUMENTS ALL THE TIME. 
          SO I'M REALLY GLAD THAT IT'S YOU ALRIGHT, REPEAT AFTER ME. 
          I STATE YOUR NAME, STATE YOUR NAME. 
          SORRY. 
          I, TRAVIS MITCHELL, DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE, OF THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OF MAYOR, OF THE CITY OF CARLYLE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF KYLE, THE STATE OF TEXAS OR THE STATE OF TEXAS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AND WILL TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, PROTECT AND DEFEND, PRESERVE, PROTECT, AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND OF THIS STATE. 
          SO HELP ME GUIDE THERE'S A NEW MAYOR. 
          THERE WE GO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THE COURT IS ASSESSABLE TO THE CITIZENS OF THE COW COMMUNITY ALL DURING THE WEEK, BUT ON WEDNESDAYS, A COURT IS ACTUALLY BEING HELD ON THE BENCH AND WE FREQUENTLY CALL IT WALK-IN WEDNESDAY, WHERE WE WANT OUR CITIZENS TO KNOW WHETHER OUR WALK-IN WEDNESDAY PROGRAM IS THAT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE WARRANTS AND HAVE DEALINGS WITH THE COURT THAT NOT TO FEEL AS IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE ARRESTED, ONCE YOU APPROACH THE QUARTER, COME INTO THE COURT. 
          SO WHAT WE WANT TO ESTABLISH IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITIZENS KNOW THAT OUR FIRST OBLIGATION IS TRY TO SATISFY THIS JUDGMENT AND WE'RE BOUND TO DO SO. 
          AND WHEN I SAY WE'RE BOUND TO DO SO, WE'RE OBLIGATED TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION OR A PLAN TO TRY TO GET A DISPOSITION TO YOUR CASE. 
          SO CONSEQUENTLY, IF YOU ACTUALLY COME IN IN PERSON AND GET THESE TAKEN CARE OF, WE CAN TURN OFF THOSE WARRANTS IMMEDIATELY AND THEN TAKING AWAY THE RISK OF ACTUALLY GOING TO JAIL. 
          BUT WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO IS WE CAN EXTEND THEM DOWN TO PAY. 
          WE CAN GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE AND MAKE THAT NEGOTIATION AND COME UP WITH A PLAN. 
          THAT AGAIN, THAT IS REASONABLE TO SATISFY YOUR OBLIGATION AND REASONABLE FOR THE CITIZEN TO TAKE CARE OF. 
          [02:35:25]
HEY, IT'S KIM, HILSENBECK BACK HERE WITH THE CITY OF KYLE I'M IN FRONT OF CITY HALL. 
          AND I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN PAY YOUR UTILITY BILL. 
          ONE OF THEM IS RIGHT HERE IN PERSON. 
          LET'S GO INSIDE AND CHECK IT OUT. 
          YOU CAN COME INSIDE AND PAY IT. 
          ONE OF THE WINDOWS AND OUR FRIENDLY STAFF WILL HELP YOU OUT. 
          IF YOU GO TO THE PAYMENT WINDOW, ONE OF OUR FRIENDLY STAFF AND STAFF WILL BE THERE TO HELP YOU OUT. 
          GOT A CRAZY SCHEDULE. 
          YOU CAN'T MAKE IT INSIDE OR TO THE DRIVE-THROUGH. 
          WHEN STAFF IS THERE, COME ON OVER AND DROP YOUR UTILITY BILLING PAYMENT OFF HERE AT OUR UTILITY PAYMENT, DROPBOX IT'S ON FRONT STREET RIGHT NEXT TO THE VFW. 
          ANOTHER CONVENIENT WAY TO PAY YOUR BILL. 
          YOUR UTILITY BILLS ARE DUE THE 15TH OF EVERY MONTH. 
          THE DATE NEVER CHANGES. 
          IT'S ALWAYS THE 15TH. 
          SO IT'S KIND OF EASY TO REMEMBER, EVEN PUT A NOTE ON YOUR, ON YOUR CALENDAR, ON YOUR PHONE OR ON YOUR OLD STYLE CALENDAR ON THE WALL, EITHER WAY THE IS ALWAYS DUE ON THE 15TH. 
          DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN ALSO GO TO HEB AND WALMART TO PAY YOUR UTILITY BILLS? THEY'RE SUPER CONVENIENT BECAUSE YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE THERE FOR A LOT OF YOUR SHOPPING. 
          ANYWAY, YOU CAN ALSO DO AN ONLINE BILL PAYMENT EITHER THROUGH OUR SYSTEM OR THROUGH YOUR OWN FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. 
          MAKES IT EASY. 
          YOU NEVER FORGET THE BILLS TAKEN CARE OF EVERY MONTH. 
          HM. 
          YEAH. 
           MY NAME IS ASIA AND I GREW UP HERE IN CENTRAL TEXAS. 
          I GOT BRADY WHEN I WAS 22. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S YOUNG WHEN MAX WAS ABOUT SIX MONTHS OLD, I DECIDED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL FULL-TIME AND I KNEW I WOULD NEED A BREAST PUMP. 
          AND SO MY LACTATION CONSULTANT WAS LIKE, WELL, WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR WIC? SURE ENOUGH. 
          I QUALIFIED FOR WIC. 
          AND THEN I GOT ACCESS TO NUTRITIONISTS AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE COOLEST THING EVER. 
          AND SO I DECIDED TO STICK WITH IT. 
          WIC HAS GIVEN ME ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS. 
          WIC HAS GIVEN ME THE EDUCATION TO KNOW WHY I SHOULD HAVE THESE HEALTHY FOODS AND THEN HOW TO PREPARE THEM. 
          REALLY KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. 
          AND WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER, YOU DO BETTER WITH WIC. 
          THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE THAT CAN HELP YOU AND REACH OUT TO YOU AND PROVIDE RESOURCES TO YOU WHEN YOU'RE PREGNANT AND ALONE. 
          THE WORLD IS REALLY BIG, RIGHT? AND TO GO TO THIS ONE PLACE WHERE THERE'S PEOPLE IN THERE WHO CARE ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF YOUR PREGNANCY AND OF YOU AND YOUR BABY, THAT HAS MEANT A LOT TO ME, EDUCATION AND CONNECTION, AND LIKE A GROUP AND PEOPLE. 
          AND THAT'S, I MEAN, THAT'S EVERYTHING YOU NEED. 
          I THINK RANKING  
          [02:40:17]
I'M MICHAEL KAUFMAN LYNCH. 
          UH, I AM A LIBRARY ASSISTANT AT THE KYLE PUBLIC LIBRARY AND I'VE BEEN HERE FOR FOUR YEARS OF TEAM. 
          KYLE'S, UH, IT'S INTERESTING CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS GOING ON IN THE CITY. 
          AND SO YOU GET TO SEE A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE, A LOT OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES AND YOU GET TO BE A PART OF, UH, SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY NEW, REALLY CHANGING A LOT FAST PACED. 
          AND SO IT'S A LOT OF, A LOT OF THE STUFF I DO INVOLVES DEALING WITH THE PUBLIC, UH, CHECKING BOOKS OUT TO THEM, UH, WORKING WITH THEM TO FIND OUT ANSWERS, TO QUESTIONS, HELPING THEM WITH COMPUTERS. 
          A LOT OF WHAT WE DO IS ALSO PROGRAMMING. 
          SO GETTING PEOPLE READY FOR STORY TIME IN THE MORNING, UH, DOING EVENTS FOR THE CITY, WE'VE GOT PORK PARTIES, WE'VE GOT SOME, A READING PROGRAM. 
          AND ALSO I DO A LOT OF BOOK CATALOGING. 
          SO GETTING THE BOOKS READY TO GO OUT TO THE PUBLIC AS A, AS A PUBLIC LIBRARY, AS PART OF THE COMMUNITY, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A LIVELY PLACE TRYING TO MAKE IT ONE OF THOSE PLACES WHERE YOU CAN JUST GO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY MONEY TO BE THERE. 
          YOU DON'T, YOU'VE ALREADY DONE THAT JUST BY BEING A CITIZEN AND JUST HAVE A PLACE TO EXIST WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY MORE MONEY, WHICH IS A THING THAT'S VERY RARE THESE DAYS. 
          I THINK ONE OF THE BIG THINGS FOR ME IS WHEN I STARTED DOING PROGRAMS WITH TEENS AND KIDS AND ADULTS. 
          SO ALL AGES PROGRAMS AND A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH, UH, INTERACTING WITH THESE TEAMS, WITH THESE KIDS. 
          AND I THINK THE BIGGEST THING WAS HEARING FROM PARENTS THAT THEY'RE JUST SO HAPPY THAT I'M GETTING THE KIDS OFF THE COMPUTER, TALKING TO OTHER TEENS INTERACTING AND REALLY JUST, UM, YEAH, ACTIVE LIKE SOCIAL, WHICH IS A LOT OF FUN IN KEEPING WITH MTCS ACTIVE APPROACH TO COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND INVOLVEMENT.

          IT, IT, IT REALLY CHANGES YOUR OPINIONS ABOUT THINGS. 
          I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE MEETING AND THE INFORMATION AND THE WAY IT WAS ALL PACKAGED AND HOW YOU, YOU MAKE IT PERSONAL. 
          YOU MAKE PEOPLE CARE ABOUT IT. 
          IT, IT REALLY HITS IT HOME.

          MY HUSBAND'S NAME IS MATTHEW. 
          WE HAVE FOUR KIDS TOGETHER. 
          I WAS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL AND IT WAS REALLY SCARY CAUSE I DID NOT THINK THAT I WAS GOING TO BE TEEN MOM. 
          AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS WHEN RICK INTRODUCED ME TO ALL THE PROGRAMS THAT THEY OFFERED. 
          IT REALLY TOOK THAT FEAR AWAY AND GAVE 
          [02:45:01]
ME A CONFIDENCE. 
          LIKE I CAN DO THIS. 
          I WOULD NEVER KNOW.

          I'M NOT BUYING CHIPS. 
          I'M NOT BUYING JUNK FOOD. 
          I'M BUYING HEALTHY STUFF. 
          SO I'M ACTUALLY LEADING A HEALTHY LIFE FOR MY KIDS AND FOR MYSELF, I MEAN, MY DAUGHTER, SHE LOVES FRUIT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND I HAVE A PRESSURE IN THE BASKET AND SHE WOULD TELL ME, MOMMY, I WANT THIS, I WANT THAT. 
          I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BECAUSE OF WIC. 
          AND YOU KNOW, LIKE IT WAS REALLY AWESOME. 
          I LOVE IT. 
          I REALLY DIDN'T FEEL IT WASN'T FOR THAT SUPPORT. 
          AND I MEAN THAT I WAS A YOUNG MOTHER THAT I CAN DO IT. 
          I REALLY HONESTLY DON'T THINK THAT I WOULD HAVE HAD THAT MOTIVATION TO WANT TO DO BETTER. 
          VICK COMPLETELY CHANGED MY OUTLOOK ON MY LIFE. 
          I'M HAPPY IN MY LIFE AND I WOULDN'T EVER TAKE, TAKE ANYTHING. 
          I WOULD NEVER DO IT ANY OTHER WAY.

          THIS IS AN ALL VOLUNTEER STAFF THAT OPENS THIS DEPO FOR KYLE EVERY SATURDAY. 
          NOW FROM 10 TO TWO, KYLE HAS HAD A VERY INTERESTING HISTORY. 
          THIS WAS THE HUB OF TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNICATION, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. 
          YOU COULD TELL BY THEIR PRODUCTS. 
          THIS WAS THE LIVELIHOOD OF THE PEOPLE, A PILE AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS. 
          SO WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE THIS POWER, TO TELL THE HISTORY AND WE ENJOY HAVING EVERYBODY COME AND WE NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS. 
          UH, THE MORE VOLUNTEERS THAT WE CAN GET, THE MORE WE CAN BE OPEN. 
          WE'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE THAT LOVE HISTORY AND THAT ARE DEPENDABLE THAT WE CAN DEPEND ON. 
          LIKE I SAID, IF WE CAN GET A FEW MORE VOLUNTEERS, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE OPEN SOME MORE. 
          AND THAT, THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING FOR THE CITY OF KYLE  ALL RIGHT. 
          SO THIS IS MY FAMILY.

          I WAS LIKE, YOU MEAN, I GET ALL THIS, LIKE I GET THE MILK, THE CHEESE, THE EGGS. 
          I WAS SO EXCITED. 
          CAUSE IT WAS JUST LIKE CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY.

          YOU JUST ASK ONE QUESTION AND THEY'LL GIVE YOU ANSWERS TO EVERYTHING. 
          THAT'S YOU JUST PROBABLY DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF LIKE EXISTED. 
          THE INFORMATION WITH BREASTFEEDING IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, I'M A FRIEND I'M A FIRST TIME BREASTFEEDING MOM. 
          AND THAT INFORMATION IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. 
          THERE'S MUCH TO LEARN MUCH TO LEARN. 
          DOESN'T JUST STOP AFTER ONE. 
          THERE'S LOT MORE TO LEARN AND WIC IS THERE TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU.

          THANK YOU. 
          YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY. 
          YOU ARE ALL REGISTERED ON PET HUB. 
          HOW EASY WAS THAT? APPLE, PUMPKIN AUDIT, DELICIOUS AMERICAN CLASSICS, BUT HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED THAT HISTORY OF THE SWEET DESSERT THAT WE ALL WISH FOLLOWED EVERY FAMILY MEAL TO LEARN MORE ABOUT PIE? WE WILL HAVE TO LOOK WAY, WAY, WAY BACK. 
          EARLIEST REFERENCE TO A PIE WAS THE RECIPE FOR CHICKEN PIE WRITTEN ON A TABLET IN SAMIR SOMETIME BEFORE 2000 BC. 
          SOME OF THESE ANCIENT PIES WERE ENJOYED SO MUCH THAT THEY CAN BE FOUND PAINTED ON THE WALLS AND TUBES AS SEEN WITH PHARAOH RAMSES. 
          THE SECOND WE RULED FROM 1,304 BC TO 1,237 BC. 
          THESE PAINTINGS WERE THE ONLY ART INSPIRED BY PIES. 
          IN THE FIFTH CENTURY, BC, THERE WERE MENTIONS OF PIE LIKE FOOD IN PARIS TRUCKS. 
          AND THESE PLAYS, THESE PIES ARE, WERE, WERE NOT LIKE THE PIES THAT WE KNOW OF TODAY. 
          MOST OF THEM WEREN'T DESIGNED TO BE DESSERTS, BUT RATHER MEALS THAT WERE STUFFED WITH A VARIETY OF MEATS. 
          WE CALL THEM PIES TODAY AFTER THE BIRD POD, WHICH GATHERS MANY DIFFERENT MATERIALS FOR ITS NEST. 
          ALSO THE MAGPIE WAS KNOWN TO BE STUFFED IN A MANY OF THESE MEAT PIES. 
          BACK 
          [03:05:01]
IN THE DAY, THESE EARLIER PIES WERE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS CONFERENCE CORRECTLY, TRANSLATED MEANING BASKET IN MINEOLA TIMES, NOT MANY COOKS COULD AFFORD TO CONSTRUCT OF IT AS ITS PIES WERE EASY TO COOK OVER AN OPEN FLAME. 
          AND HE COOKS MADE THEM THE COVERING OF THE MEAT IN A PIE WAS MORE OF AN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT THE MEAT FROM DRYING OUT DURING THE BAKING, RATHER THAN ACTUALLY THE PIE IN THE MODERN SENSE. 
          IT WASN'T UNTIL THE 15TH CENTURY, THAT PIE SEARCH RESEMBLE THE ONES WE KNOW OF TODAY INSTEAD OF MEAT, THEY CERTAINLY FEEL RETRIED FOOD TO MAKE THEM MORE LIKE DESSERTS. 
          THEIR FIRST EVER RECORDED FRUIT PIE WAS IN THE LATE 16TH CENTURY. 
          ELIZABETH WAS SERVED. 
          A CHERRY PIE HAD THIS TIME OVER IN THE NEW WORLD. 
          THE SETTLERS WERE IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING PIES AND AMERICAN MEALS, STAPLE SETTLERS, FAVORED PIES. 
          THERE WERE BREAD AS PAUSE, PART LESS FLOUR AND PIES ALSO HAD THE ABILITY TO INCREASE THE LONGEVITY OF MAY. 
          THE GREEN GETS PUT INSIDE THE APPLE PIE. 
          THE WITH AMERICAN APPLES BECAME POCKET BECAUSE THE APPLES WERE EASY TO DRY AND STORE IN BARRELS, WINTER IN THE NORTHERN STATES, PUMPKIN PIRATE SPOT, AS PUMPKINS WERE PLENTIFUL. 
          THAT'S THE SOUTHERNERS MOVE WESTWARD. 
          THEY WERE LIED ON PODS. 
          MANY OF THEIR MEALS OFTEN BEING WHAT THEY LIVED OFF OF MANY OF US MIGHT BE LONGING FOR THE DAYS THAT PI WAS CONSIDERED A FULL COURSE MEAL, RATHER THAN JUST HAVING SOME FOR DESSERT. 
          WELL, THOSE DAYS IN THE LATE 18 HUNDREDS, WHEN THE NUTRITION APPLIANCE WAS CALLED INTO QUESTION, THE POPULARITY OF PIES DECREASED AS NEWS CAME OUT HOW MUCH ENERGY IT TOOK TO BURN OFF A POT. 
          AS WE BECAME EASIER TO GET FASTER, COOK THE PIE CHANGED FROM AN EASY ONCE A WEEK MEAL TO COMPARISON A LONG PROCESS IN THE KITCHEN IN THE 1980S, HIGH RENAISSANCE OCCURRED REDISCOVERING OLD FASHIONED PIED RECIPES AND EXPLORING CROSS CULTURAL  KYLE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES USE NEARLY 4 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER EACH DAY FOR EVERYTHING FROM BATHING, COOKING AND DRINKING, JUST SWIMMING AND IRRIGATION. 
          MOST PEOPLE JUST ASSUME THE WATER WILL TURN ON WHEN THEY RUN THE TAP. 
          BUT DON'T THINK ABOUT HOW IT GOT THERE. 
          HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHERE YOUR WATER COMES FROM? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED OR HOW IT'S TREATED BEFORE IT GETS TO YOUR HOME DRIVE IN AND AROUND ALMOST EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE WATER TOWERS DOTTING THE KYLE SKYLINE. 
          OUR WATER COMES FROM LAKE DUNLAP, WHICH FLOWS OUT FROM CANYON LAKE, NEAR NEW BRAUNFELS. 
          WE ALSO HAVE FIVE WELLS IN TOWN THAT DRAW WATER FROM THE EDWARDS AQUIFER. 
          AND OUR USAGE IS BASED UPON PERMITS ISSUED BY GROUNDWATER AUTHORITIES. 
          THE WATER FROM THE LAKE IS CALLED SURFACE WATER. 
          AND THE WATER FROM THE WELLS IS CALLED GROUNDWATER. 
          THEY ARE BLENDED AND TREATED ONCE THEY GET INTO OUR WATER SYSTEM HERE IN KYLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, SOME OF OUR WATER WILL COME FROM THE CARRIZO AQUIFER IN LEE COUNTY THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ALLIANCE REGIONAL WATER AUTHORITY. 
          BUT FOR NOW THE WATER SUPPLY IS THE SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER. 
          WE MENTIONED EARLIER. 
          OUR WATER SYSTEM IS MAINTAINED BY HIGHLY SKILLED AND TRAINED WATER OPERATORS WHO ARE LICENSED BY THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          THEIR JOB IS TO ADD THE RIGHT BLEND OF DISINFECTANT TO MAKE SURE THE WATER IS SAFE FOR DISTRIBUTION TO OUR CUSTOMERS. 
          WATER TREATMENT MAKES SURE THE WATER YOU USE DAILY IS CLEAN AND SAFE AFTER METICULOUS ROUNDS OF TESTING, WATER TRAVELS TO YOUR HOME THROUGH A COMPLEX SYSTEM OF UNDERGROUND PIPES. 
          ONCE IT CROSSES OVER FROM THE MAIN PIPES, IT, YOUR HOME WHERE YOU USE IT FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO ON YOUR HOUSE. 
          TURN ON THE TAP TO WASH VEGGIES, TAKE A SHOWER, 
          [03:10:01]
FLUSH THE TOILET, WATER YOUR GARDEN, OR MAKE A NICE CUP OF TEA. 
          EACH MONTH YOU RECEIVE A UTILITY BILL FROM THE CITY OF KYLE. 
          IT'S BROKEN DOWN INTO SEVERAL SECTIONS, DEPENDING ON THE UTILITY SERVICES YOU RECEIVE. 
          SOME CUSTOMERS RECEIVE WATER, WASTEWATER AND TRASH SERVICE ALONG WITH A STORMWATER UTILITY FEE. 
          OTHERS RECEIVE ONLY WASTEWATER OR ONLY TRASH SERVICE. 
          LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR UTILITY BILL. 
          YOU'LL NOTICE SOMETHING CALLED A WATER MINIMUM CHARGE. 
          THIS IS THE FEE CHARGED BY THE WATER DEPARTMENT EACH MONTH. 
          IT IS FIXED COSTS THAT HELPS PAY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS. 
          THE FEE ALSO PAYS FOR THE METER TECHS THAT READ YOUR WATER METER AND UTILITY STAFF THAT GENERATE THE BILLS. 
          THINK OF IT AS THE FUNDING MECHANISM FOR HOW THE WATER UTILITY OPERATES. 
          THE WATER USAGE FEE IS A DIFFERENT LINE ON YOUR BILL. 
          THAT IS THE RATE YOU PAY FOR EACH THOUSANDS.
