[II) Citizen Comment Period with City Council]
HERE. TOBIAS. I'M HERE. OKAY. SIX MEMBERS PRESENT. WE HAVE A QUORUM. NEXT UP IS CITIZEN COMMENTS. SUSAN, YOU HAVE A COMMENT? GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. MY NAME IS SUSAN REYNA, AND I'M A RESIDENT OF KYLE. AND I SERVE ON THE BOARD OF THE KIWANIS CLUB OF KYLE BUDA, AMONG OTHERS. I WANTED TO START BY SAYING THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THE KYLE MARKET DAYS. I'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED IT, BUT THE LAST FEW YEARS IT HAS BECOME EVEN MORE MEANINGFUL AS PART OF THE KIWANIS CLUB. WE HAVE HAD THE JOY OF GIVING AWAY BOOKS AND HOSTING STORYTIMES AND NEW. THIS YEAR WE ARE ENCOURAGING SUMMER READING WITH EXTRA PRIZES AND HOLDING BOOK CLUB DISCUSSIONS AT THE MARKET DAYS. I LOVE THAT MARKET DAYS GIVES US A CHANCE TO PROMOTE LITERACY AND COMMUNITY CONNECTION IN A WAY THAT TRULY MAKES A DIFFERENCE. I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST A SMALL CHANGE TO THE EVENT SCHEDULE. LAST SUMMER, THE MARKET DAYS HOURS SHIFTED FROM 9 A.M. TO FROM 9 A.M. TO 2 P.M. TO 8 A.M. TO 1 P.M. TO AVOID THE AFTERNOON HEAT. AND OF COURSE, THAT MADE SENSE. BUT BOTH LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR, WE'VE NOTICED THERE'S VERY LITTLE FOOT TRAFFIC IN THE PARK FROM 8 TO 9 A.M, CHANGING THE HOURS TO 9 TO 1 P.M. WOULD STILL PROVIDE FOR PRODUCTIVE HOURS, WHILE ALLOWING SETUP TO BEGIN AT SEVEN INSTEAD OF SIX IN THE MORNING, WHICH WOULD HELP BOTH VOLUNTEERS AND VENDORS. I RECOMMEND THE PARKS DEPARTMENT ASK OTHER VENDORS ABOUT THIS, BUT I THINK THEY WOULD AGREE. I ALSO REALLY WANT TO THANK STEVEN FROM THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT. I DIDN'T CATCH HIS LAST NAME, BUT HE IS ALWAYS HELPFUL. BUT ESPECIALLY IN MAY WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS HOSPITALIZED, STEVEN STEPPED IN TO HELP ME START MY SETUP BEFORE MY VOLUNTEERS HAD ARRIVED SO I COULD MORE QUICKLY GET BACK TO THE HOSPITAL WITH MY HUSBAND. AND THAT REALLY MEANT A LOT TO ME. I ALSO WANT TO THANK SHEEBA, CLAUDIA, AND OF COURSE THE ENTIRE PARK STAFF FOR ALL THEIR WORK AND MARKET DAYS. NEXT, I WANT TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF FORMER EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING MYSELF. MANY OF US HAD RETIREMENT FUNDS IN THE CITY'S 457 PROGRAM THROUGH MISSION SQUARE. ON MAY 21ST, WE RECEIVED NOTICES THAT OUR ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN MOVED AND NOW SHOW ZERO BALANCES. HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE OUR MONEY WENT OR HOW TO ACCESS THAT. IT'S BEEN ALMOST A MONTH, AND SO I'M ASKING FOR CITY STAFF TO PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH FORMER EMPLOYEES. FINALLY, I JUST WANT TO COMMEND THE NEW 311 SYSTEM. I REPORTED A POTHOLE ON A SATURDAY AND IT WAS REPAIRED BEFORE 9 A.M. ON THE MONDAY AFTER THAT. AND THAT KIND OF RESPONSE IS OUTSTANDING, AND I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO MADE THAT POSSIBLE. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR THE COMMUNITY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SUSAN. THAT'S THE ONLY FORM THAT I HAVE. SO I'M GOING TO CLOSE[III) Executive Session]
