SO WE GOTTA KEEP THAT IN MIND. AND IT IS IMPORTANT, IF I COULD ADD THAT, THAT I KNOW WE HAVE FOUR, FOUR NEW MEMBERS. OF COURSE. YVONNE, YOU'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE. YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THIS. THIS IS THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE GIVING OUR CITY STAFF FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR. AND AS WE GET CLOSER TO BUDGET SEASON. SO, LIKE, LIKE I'VE SAID BEFORE, AND IF THERE'S ITEMS MOVING FORWARD ON THE AGENDAS THROUGH THE MONTHS TO WHERE WE FEEL THAT WE'RE NOT COMFORTABLE OR WE'RE NOT SUPPORTING SOMETHING, OR WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF, YOU KNOW, AN ITEM THAT WE'RE WE'RE NOT WE'RE BASICALLY NOT JUST SAYING NO. MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO TRY TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR THEM, BECAUSE IF IT'S SOMETHING TO SAY, I REALLY CAN'T SUPPORT THIS RIGHT NOW, BUT I CAN SUPPORT THIS. I THINK IT HELPED WOULD HELP THE CITY NAVIGATE WHERE EACH ONE OF US IS AT, TO BE ABLE TO HELP MOVE PROJECTS FORWARD, OR IT HELP IN THE SENSE OF THE OVERALL SCOPE. SO THAT WAY WE HAVE A GENERALIZED IDEA, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE'S TIMES THAT YOU GUYS ARE WORKING REALLY HARD AND YOU'RE REALLY PUTTING MANY HOURS IN, AND IF THERE'S A VOTE THAT DOESN'T GO THROUGH OR IT FAILS, THEN WHAT IT DOES, IT PUTS THINGS BACK WHERE IT HOLDS. YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO PUT IT AT STANDSTILL, BUT I THINK WE CAN WORK TOGETHER AS A GROUP COLLABORATIVELY AND SEE WHAT WE CAN SUPPORT TO HELP YOU GUYS MOVE FORWARD ON THAT, ON THOSE. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. WELL THAT'S GREAT. AND AGAIN, WE APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU BEING BACK HERE. I KNOW IT'S THE LAST DAY. IT GETS EXHAUSTING, BUT I THINK WE ALSO HAD SOME GOOD WORK OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. AND TODAY'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE MORE PRACTICAL ON SOME OF THE KEY PROJECTS, HOW THEY FIT UP WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE VISION THAT YOU GUYS HAVE CRAFTED. SO WE'LL GO THROUGH THAT. AND MICHAEL, TO YOUR POINT, THERE'S ONLY SO MANY HOURS IN THE DAY FOR ALL OF US AND FOR OUR STAFF. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE WORKING ON THE PROJECTS THAT ARE IMPORTANT FOR YOU. AND IF WE'RE WORKING ON SOMETHING THAT'S TAKING UP TIME AND RESOURCES, THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT TO YOU. THAT MEANS SOMETHING ELSE ISN'T GETTING DONE. SO THAT PRIORITY SETTING AND HOW WE GO THROUGH THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US, BECAUSE THAT'S THE LAST THING ANY OF US WANT TO DO IS COME TO COUNCIL AND YOU GUYS SAY, WHY THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON THIS? WE DON'T WANT TO DO THIS. WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT MEETS YOUR VISION, THE GOALS THAT YOU HAVE AS A COUNCIL. SO THIS IS HOW IT ALL FITS TOGETHER AND DECIDED TO KIND OF GO THROUGH THIS WITH YOU TODAY. WE DID SOME OF THIS BACK ON FEBRUARY THE 5TH. THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMAL UP OR DOWN KIND OF WHAT DO YOU THINK

[00:05:03]

YEAH. I'M SORRY. NO. IT'S OKAY. LIKE, JUST. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YEAH. NO PROBLEM.

YEAH. THANKS FOR LETTING US KNOW. THAT'S SCARY. I'VE HAD SOME. IF SOMEONE'S PLAYING BASEBALL, WE HAD ONE. ONE OF THE KIDS THAT HAD SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND IT'S A SCARY THING WHEN THAT HAPPENS. YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YEAH. NO PROBLEM. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. OKAY. WELL, JUST TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT BRIAN WAS SAYING, MAYBE THINK OF ANOTHER CITY I WORK WITH THEIR CITY MANAGER. HIS ONE OF HIS FAVORITE SAYINGS IS WE CAN DO ANYTHING. WE JUST CAN'T DO EVERYTHING. SO THE REASON THIS IS SO IMPORTANT IS TO KIND OF GIVE PRIORITY TO THOSE THINGS THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU. SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TODAY, I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PERSPECTIVE IN CONTEXT. I JUST WANT TO REVISIT THE VISION FRESH MIND BECAUSE AND I MOVED THE WORK COMPLETED TO THE END. I'M GOING TO DO A LITTLE EXERCISE WITH THAT. WE'LL DO A REVIEW OF EVERYTHING THAT WE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE TWO SESSIONS. WE'RE GOING TO GET BACK INTO THE KEY INITIATIVES. WE'RE GOING TO EVALUATE THEM.

WE'RE GOING TO DO A SUMMARY OF THE EVALUATION AT THE END OF THE KEY INITIATIVES. THEN WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT ON THE RADAR ANY PET PROJECTS OR THINGS THAT YOUR NEIGHBORS CARE ABOUT, JUST NOT. THERE'S NO PROMISE THAT ANYTHING'S GOING TO BE SOLVED IMMEDIATELY, BUT IT PUTS IT ON STAFF'S RADAR JUST SO THEY'RE AWARE. USUALLY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE PEOPLE THAT TALK TO THEM ABOUT STUFF LIKE, I WISH WE WOULD DO THIS OR I WISH WE WOULD DO THAT, OR THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. SO JUST KIND OF GET THAT. AND USUALLY WHEN WE DO AN EXERCISE LIKE THIS, IT'S A MIXTURE OF TACTICS, STRATEGIES, ETC. SO JUST WE'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. AND THEN WE'LL DO A RECAP OF EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE AND A LITTLE EXERCISE AT THE END. AND IT'S JUST DAY ONE. BUT WE'LL WRAP UP THE WHOLE THING. ALL RIGHT. SO FROM THE CONTEXT, JUST AS A REMINDER, YOUR VISION IS TO HAVE A HEALTHY, SAFE, EQUITABLE, INCLUSIVE AND UNIFIED CITY. YOUR EASY ACCESS TO A VARIETY OF UNIQUE AND DIVERSE BUSINESSES, JOB OPPORTUNITIES, GREEN SPACES AND AMENITIES, AND THRIVING NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITIES MAKES YOU A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES ARE PROUD TO CALL HOME. THE PEOPLE THAT ELECTED YOU NEED TRUST, COMPASSION, STABILITY, AND HOPE. THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE FOLLOWING YOU AS LEADERS. AND JUST TELL ME. WHAT BUBBLE IS YOUR VISION REPRESENT FUTURE, FUTURE RESULTS. AND THEN WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE KEY INITIATIVES IS ALSO FURTHER DEFINING WHAT THOSE RESULTS LOOK LIKE GETTING A LITTLE MEAT AROUND THE BONES AND IN SOME CASES, STARTING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WHAT'S GOING TO BE OR IDENTIFYING WHAT'S GOING TO NEED TO CHANGE OVER ON THIS SIDE OF THE EQUATION IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THAT. SO JUST TO PUT IT IN CONTEXT, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. AND WITH THAT I'M GOING TO KICK IT OVER TO JESSE SO HE CAN CHARGE AHEAD WITH THE KEY INITIATIVES. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL CONTINUE WHERE WE LEFT OFF. EVERYONE HAVE THEIR OH Y'ALL DO. YES SIR. NO. OH MY GOSH. DO YOU HAVE ONE. NO NO I DO, BUT IT'S GOT THE CAP ON OKAY I'M SORRY I GOT IT. NO NO NO. LET'S KICK IT OFF. EARLY MORNING. RIGHT IN THE SPORTSPLEX. LET'S DO IT. TRAIL AREN'T WE? NO, WE DID THAT YESTERDAY. WE MADE IT THROUGH BIKE TRAIL. OKAY, UNLESS ANYONE NEEDS TO CIRCLE BACK TO ANY OF THOSE FIRST THREE. NO. OKAY. ARE YOU SURE? OKAY, OKAY, GIVE ME A SECOND HERE, MR. FUNK. IS THAT CLEAR? WHAT WOULD BE HELPFUL? DID YOU HIT THE LITTLE

[00:10:08]

YES. OH, THAT'S WAY BETTER. ALL RIGHT, MY TRAIL. WE'RE GOING TO SKIP IT SINCE THAT'S A PORTION OF MY TRAIL. ALL RIGHT. NOW SPORTSPLEX, CAN I SEE THIS JUST TO REMIND. NO NEED TO RE-EXPLAIN. I THINK WE CAN JUMP RIGHT INTO IT. THE IMPACT ON THE VISION. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, ONE OF YOUR FOR ONE OF YOUR FOUR BOXES, WHETHER IT'S JUST A TALLY IN THE BOX OR WHETHER YOU'RE WRITING SOMETHING IN THERE, THAT'S FINE TOO. I CAN GO THROUGH THESE AGAIN IF YOU'D LIKE. I ASSUME YOU GUYS REMEMBER THEM FROM THE FEBRUARY GO AHEAD. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THIS IS PHASE ONE OF THE PROJECT. SO YOU GUYS MAY REMEMBER WHEN THE WHOLE MASTER PLAN FOR THE SPORTSPLEX WAS PUT TOGETHER. IT'S MULTIPLE PHASES, AND THAT WAS, I THINK, ABOUT $160 MILLION TO BUILD OUT THE ENTIRE COMPLEX ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROADS. BUT THIS IS PHASE ONE. SO JUST TO MAKE THAT CLEAR, IT WAS MEANT TO BE 33 MILLION. SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR PHASE ONE WAS THE DOLLAR FIGURE. RIGHT. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CLEAR. SOMETIMES THAT GETS JUMBLED. I'VE NOTICED THAT THERE'S SOME CONFUSION ON THAT. I'M SORRY. THAT'S A GREAT POINT BRIAN. STILL SHAKING THE COBWEBS TO WAKE UP. WE HAD A MAYBE ON THIS ONE BECAUSE THE FEEDBACK WE HEARD ON FEBRUARY 5TH WAS NOT AGAINST THE FIRST PHASE. AS FAR AS THE FIELDS AND THE PARK ELEMENTS THAT HELP FILL GAPS FROM OUR MASTER PLAN, OBVIOUSLY FUTURE PHASES. THAT'S WE'RE NOT EVEN DISCUSSING THAT AT THIS POINT, BUT IF YOU WANT TO WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT IT ON YOUR PAPER, THAT'S FINE. BUT REALLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT THAT FIRST PHASE OF THE FIELDS AND THE THE NAME OF THAT ROAD THAT GOES THROUGH THERE, THAT'S BEING BUILT THROUGH THAT, THROUGH THAT AREA TO CONNECT IT, TO BECOME MORE. AND THESE TO BRIAN'S POINT, THE FIRST TRANCHE OF MONEY THAT'S BEING USED FOR THAT IS, AS I'M SURE YOU ALL REMEMBER. 2020 PARK BONDS, SOME ELEMENTS OF THE TOURS. I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S BUILDING THE ROAD. IF I'M REMEMBERING CORRECTLY. AND I THINK THE GENERAL FUND ELEMENTS WERE MAYBE FOR FUTURE PHASES, I'M NOT SURE I'D HAVE TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT PORTION OF THAT. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE LAND IS DONATED. THE LAND IS OURS. YES, WE WE BOUGHT THE LAND UP NEXT TO THAT LAST PIECE WOULD HAVE TO SHOW YOU OVER THE MAP. CAN WE CONFIRM THIS IS KIND OF ON THE SIDE AND I, I'VE WHEN I WAS NOT ELECTED. SO I WAS ON THE COUNCIL THE YEAR THIS WAS PASSED AND THEN NOT MUCH MOVEMENT. AND THEN I WAS PRETTY ACTIVE DURING THE TWO YEARS FOR THIS SPORTS. WELL, WHAT THEY CALL IT A SPORTS PLEX. BUT IN BETWEEN NOT BEING ELECTED, I HAD REACHED OUT TO A COUPLE OF ATTORNEYS ABOUT THE BOND LANGUAGE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE SPECIFIC BOND LANGUAGE FOR A SPORTS PLEX. IF WE COULD JUST CONFIRM THAT BECAUSE THE BOND LANGUAGE THAT WAS USED DIDN'T MENTION A SPORTSPLEX. AND SO JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME HISTORICAL BACKGROUND, THE COUNTY'S MONEY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR FAJITA FIELDS, AND THEN OUR MONEY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TO IN COMBINATION WITH THAT, BUT IT DIDN'T. THE BOND LANGUAGE DOES NOT SPECIFY SPORTSPLEX. RIGHT. SO IT SPECIFIES LIKE THE PURCHASE OF LAND, CREATION OF PARKS, STUFF LIKE THAT. SO I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT BOND LANGUAGE AND IT'S REALLY MORE OF A QUESTION THAN A QUESTION. BUT TYPICALLY BONDS WILL SAY, YOU KNOW, FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS AND THEY CAN BE USED FOR ANY KIND OF RIGHT, RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS ONE SAID, SO I DON'T EITHER. BUT AND I WE CAN CERTAINLY DO SOME RESEARCH ON IT. BUT LIKE A STREETS IS AN EXAMPLE MIGHT SAY STREET IMPROVEMENT. BUT IT'S THE CONTEXT OF EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S BEEN SHARED WITH THE PUBLIC ABOUT WHAT YOU PLAN TO DO ON IT. SO WE'LL NEED TO WRITE ALL THOSE THINGS TOGETHER BECAUSE IT IT JUST SAID PARK IMPROVEMENTS IN THE BOND LANGUAGE, BUT THE INTENT WAS TO DO SPORTSPLEX. RIGHT. WELL, BUT MY ONLY QUESTION WAS WHAT I WAS TOLD, AND MAYBE I DIDN'T EXPLAIN IT WELL ENOUGH TO THIS ATTORNEY WAS HE SAID IF THERE WAS, IF IT WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR A SPORTSPLEX, THAT THERE WAS CERTAIN LANGUAGE THAT THEY HAD TO USE. NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE, BUT SO IF WE ARE GOING TO USE IT AND AND AGAIN, EVERYBODY THE STUFF THAT WAS PROMOTED WAS FOR SOCCER FIELDS, OUTDOOR AND FAJITA FIELDS IN SPECIFIC. AND SO I KNOW THAT ASPECT HAS GONE AWAY BECAUSE FAJITA DRIVE HAS GONE AWAY. AND SO JUST KEEPING IN MIND THAT THERE'S BEEN CHANGES IN THIS. NO. ABSOLUTELY. I'LL REACH OUT TO STEPHANIE, I APPRECIATE IT. AND I COULD BE WRONG. I'M JUST CONFIRMING I THINK I THINK WE WERE RIGHT THAT IT DID SAY 10 MILLION FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS AND THE COUNTY WAS GOING TO CONTRIBUTE THE OTHER HALF OF THAT TO WHERE IT CAME UP TO THE 20 MILLION. BUT I GUESS WHAT

[00:15:01]

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

RIGHT. YOU KNOW PHASE TWO, THIS WAS WHAT WAS CONTEMPLATED AS AN INDOOR SOMETHING. RIGHT.

WHETHER THAT'S A RECREATION CENTER FOR THE COMMUNITY, BECAUSE THAT WAS VERY HIGH ON THE LIST OF THE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK AND THE PROS MASTER PLAN, WHETHER IT'S SOME OTHER ELEMENT, THAT'S ALL FUTURE PHASE. OBVIOUSLY THREE AND FOUR ARE ARE EVEN FURTHER FUTURE PHASES. SO I THINK EVEN IF IT IS A SPORTSPLEX, WHAT IS THAT? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE INDOOR. I'M GOING TO BE REAL HONEST. I LIKE THE FIELDS, BUT IT'S HOT IN TEXAS JUST UNDER PARK IMPROVEMENTS BECAUSE IT'S FIELDS AND IT'S A BEAUTIFICATION AND IT'S THE ROAD RIGHT BY THE CHURCH. BUT YEAH, IT'S A GOOD POINT. AND I DID WANT TO ALSO JUST THE ROAD ITSELF. CROMWELL WE'VE ALREADY DONE I THINK WE'VE STARTED THE PDR ON THAT TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND THE EXACT ALIGNMENT AND EXACTLY WHERE IT WOULD BE, HOW WIDE IT WOULD BE, ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. SO WE'RE HAVING AN ENGINEERING FIRM THAT'S WORKING ON THAT. BUT ARE YOU INTERESTED IN PROCEEDING WITH THE ROAD, WHETHER OR NOT YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO DO THE FIELDS OR NOT? THIS IS LIKE A BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE IS FINE ROAD. CROMWELL TO TAKE IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO RICHARDSON AT SOME POINT TO DEVELOP THAT.

CAN WE SEE THAT ON THE MAP? BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S THE ROAD IS RIGHT HERE. IT COMES UP AND GOES DOWN. THIS IS THE I'M GONNA LOOK AT IT BECAUSE I WILL SAY ONE THING ABOUT PLUM CREEK AREA IS IT'S REALLY HARD TO GO A CERTAIN WAY. LIKE, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE MOBILITY IN THAT AREA BECAUSE EVERYTHING GOES LIKE ONE WAY. RIGHT. SO WE NEED IS TO MAKE AN AREA THAT'S IN THE GOLD COLOR. THAT WAS ONE B. THAT'S BASICALLY THE AREA THAT WE ACQUIRED FROM LENNAR.

SO WE HAD AN OPTION ON THAT PIECE. I THINK THE ROAD YOU KNOW, THE ORIGINAL PLUM CREEK, IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET AROUND IN THERE BECAUSE OF THE GOLF COURSE. RIGHT. IT'S THE NATURAL FACTOR TO MOVE. DO YOU KNOW WHERE LIKE THE BREADBASKET IS THAT AREA AND LIKE TEXICAN LIKE IT'S HARD TO GO ANY OTHER WAY. LIKE WHEN YOU GO, YOU CAN ONLY GO A CERTAIN WAY. SO I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT, BE BACK ON THAT SIDE. ON THE OTHER SIDE. YEAH. YEAH. ON THE SOUTH SIDE. YEAH.

SO THAT I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT ON THE TABLE TO THAT. THE PRIOR COUNCILS WERE EXCITED ABOUT THE ROAD GOING THROUGH THERE AND INCREASING THE CONNECTIVITY. SO THAT MIGHT BE A WAY FOR YOU. I'M JUST ASKING YOU MIGHT BE HAPPY WITH THE ROAD, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS. OR MAYBE YOU WANT TO DO BOTH, BUT YOU DON'T WANT ANY OF IT. BUT I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO GET SOME. I THINK FOR CONNECTIVITY IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT I COULD SUPPORT NO MATTER WHAT. WHETHER WE GO WITH BUILDING AN ACTUAL FACILITY, IF IT MEANS THAT THERE'S SOME FORM OF CONNECTIVITY, A ROAD TO ME WILL ALWAYS WIN, NO MATTER. WE WANT IT TO CONNECT SOMEWHERE THAT MAKES SENSE. SOME OF THE MAJOR OUTLETS OR ARTERIES, IF THAT'S IF THAT'S WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW WHAT COMES LATER, EVEN AFTER MY TIME, THAT'S ONE THING. BUT AS FAR AS THE CONNECTIVITY, TO BE ABLE TO GET PEOPLE IN AND OUT THE ARTERIES BECAUSE YEAH, THAT THAT'S THAT SHOULD BE JUST AND JUST FOR THE COUNCIL, THESE FUTURE PHASES.

IT'S ALMOST I MEAN THOSE ARE WHOLE DIFFERENT CONVERSATIONS. YEAH. THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT PROJECT AND CONVERSATION. I GUESS THE CONVERSATION THAT'S REALLY NEVER COME UP EITHER IS DO WE FEEL LIKE PARK SPACE IS THE BEST USE FOR THAT LAND? BECAUSE, I MEAN, I KIND OF FEEL LIKE IT DOES. AND THEN AT THAT POINT, WHAT WE NEED A ROAD TO ACCESS IT. IT'S LIKE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SERVICE IT. TO ME, THE ROAD IS A NECESSITY REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO WITH THAT PROPERTY. WELL, ONE OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO MENTION TO YOU AND GETTING A LITTLE OUT OF ORDER OR SOMETHING. YEAH, LIKE TAKE US DOWN A RABBIT TRAIL ON THIS ONE, BUT I'LL MAKE SURE.

YEAH. SO ON COACHELLA'S, THERE WERE THREE. THERE HAVE BEEN THREE ROUNDABOUTS THAT HAVE BEEN PLANNED CROMWELL BETTER AND SANDERS, AS WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THAT IN THE ENGINEERING ON THAT, THE ENGINEERS DON'T BELIEVE WE SHOULD DO CROMWELL RIGHT NOW.

AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE THE 1626 INTERSECTION AT SOME POINT IS GOING TO

[00:20:04]

AND AND IT'S. YEAH, I THINK TEX-DOT HAS MY BODY PUCKERS WHEN I GO, WELL IT MIGHT, IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. IT MIGHT BE A LIGHT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT'S WE'RE NOT SAYING NO TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT, BUT NOT THE ROUNDABOUT AND THE ROUNDABOUT.

THEY THINK IT'S TOO CLOSE TO THE INTERSECTION, THAT IT WOULD CREATE SOME PROBLEMS AS THEY'VE BEEN LOOKING AT IT. SO WE CAN BRING BACK MORE MARK SOME MORE INFORMATION ON IT. TOO CLOSE TO 1626 1626 IS SO CLOSE TO THAT OTHER SPOT THAT IT WAS Q INTO THAT AREA AND CREATE OTHER PROBLEMS. THAT'S THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT. THE OTHER TWO ARE GOES, ESPECIALLY SANDERS. THAT'S THE WORST ONE IN TOWN. LIKE THERE'S THERE'S AN ACCIDENT THERE ALMOST ALL THE TIME. YEAH. WELL, AND I BELIEVE THAT TXDOT SAID ONE OF THEM WASN'T VERY GOOD EITHER. THEIR RESIDENT RECEIVED A LETTER AND THEY SAID, WE'RE NOT GOING TO USE YOUR BACKYARD FOR EMINENT DOMAIN ANYMORE. AND THAT WAS BECAUSE TEX-DOT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THAT WAS AN ADEQUATE PLACE. SO GOING THROUGH THE ENGINEERING PLANS, I THINK IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA TOO, EVEN THOUGH AT FIRST GLANCE IT MAY SEEM LIKE A GOOD IDEA, IT'S THE COMPLETE CONNECTIVITY THAT I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT CROSSING.

AND WE'RE RECOMMENDING IN LIFE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO ROUNDABOUT. SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE'LL GO TO. WE'LL HIT THESE A LITTLE BIT LATER SO YOU CAN SEE THEM, BUT I JUST BRING IT UP IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS, BECAUSE THERE'S DOLLARS THAT CAN BE MOVED AROUND OTHER THINGS DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. LET'S DO THE OTHER THING I'D POINT OUT. I KNOW YOU GUYS ALL KNOW, BUT 2020 PARKS BONDS, THAT IS NOW SIX YEARS AGO. YEAH. SO I MEAN, WHEN WE SEE THIS AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF, I MEAN THAT'S YOU GO OUT THERE. IT'S BEEN SIX YEARS THAT THE THAT CITIZENS VOTED AND SAID, WE WANT TO GET SOME OF THIS OUT HERE. AND IT IS GREENFIELD. THERE'S NOTHING THERE. SO THOSE DOLLARS DON'T BUY WHAT THEY USED TO BUY, BREAK OUT THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTY ON IT. AND BUT THE LOCATION DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SET IN STONE. WE'RE NOT MARRIED TO LOCATION. RIGHT. THE POINT IS, I DON'T KNOW. MY ONLY POINT IS, YEAH, IT WASN'T. THAT ONLY GETS FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY. SO WHAT WE DO AND ALL THAT? YES, CERTAINLY. THAT'LL ALL COME BEFORE YOU GUYS. BUT 2020 WAS A WHILE AGO, SO THERE'S INTEREST IN PROCEEDING WITH THE ROAD. YES. RIGHT. WELL I'M TRYING TO LOOK AT WHAT'S CALLED RECOR RICHARDSON. IT'S RIGHT HERE. I MEAN YOU'RE LOOKING AT A MAP. YEAH I'VE I'VE GOTTA HAVE LIKE WORKERS AND GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH LITTLE PLUM CREEK THAT THIS IS THE MINI SOVEREIGN FLAVORS UP HERE. YEAH. AND THIS IS DO YOU SEE IT. IT'S ONE OF THOSE NITRO SWIMMER IS DOES GET REALLY BUSY. OKAY. EVERYONE GOT THAT ONE. YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S. THEY GET THEY GET YOUR SHEET RIGHT. YEAH. SO WE'RE NOT TRYING TO DECIDE GENTLEMEN. THANK YOU OKAY OKAY. WE'RE GOOD.

YEAH. YOU GUYS GO AHEAD. I'M JUST GONNA LOOK AT THIS. THIS ONE SHOULD BE. I THINK THIS ONE SHOULD BE RELATIVELY SIMPLE. I THINK THAT EVERYONE WAS ON BOARD FOR THE REIMAGINING.

WE'RE PAYING ATTENTION, I PROMISE. YOU LOST US. I'M SORRY. I'M PAYING ATTENTION. YES.

SHE'S GONNA I DO HAVE I DO HAVE A LITTLE LASER ON HERE. I CAN POINT IT. YEAH. SO WOULD IT GO, LIKE, RIGHT HERE? YEAH. YEAH, I'D BE IMPRESSED IF IT'S IF IT'S IF IT'S CONVERSATION. I MEAN, FEEL FREE. I MEAN, DO WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING? I WAS JUST ASKING ABOUT WHETHER THE ROADS OUT THERE, LIKE AS THEY ARE NOW, EVEN WITHOUT THE ADDITIONS, ARE EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THE INFLUX OF TRAFFIC THAT WILL BE COMING DUE TO THE SPORTS FIELDS BEING OUT THERE.

LIKE, WHAT DOES THAT LEVEL OF EXTRA TRAFFIC LOOK LIKE FOR THE RESIDENTS? YOU MEAN THROUGH BRICK AND MORTAR? YEAH, THROUGH THE WHOLE DISTRICT? YEAH, I THINK THROUGH FROM CREEK NORTH.

SO RICHARDSON WAS MEANT TO BE ONE OF THE PRIMARY ENTRANCES OFF OF 1626. THAT WOULD COME IN THAT WAY SO THAT EVERYONE WOULD HAVE TO FEED BACK UP FROM COLAS, BACK UP THROUGH IT. SO YEAH.

BUT SO I MEAN, YOU HAVE SO MUCH TRAFFIC THAT'S COMING IN JUST FROM THAT. SO THAT'S EXTRA TRAFFIC ON THOSE ROADS OUT THERE AS YOU'RE GETTING TO IT. SURE. AND THAT'S WHY CRITICAL.

YEAH. THAT'S THAT CONNECTION IS CRITICAL HERE. RIGHT. BECAUSE BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO KEEP THE WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO KEEP THE TRAFFIC OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO COME IN OFF OF SPROUTS ROAD, WHATEVER THAT WE'RE GOING TO COME IN HERE. SO ANY OF THE SPORTS TEAMS THAT ARE COMING IN, THEY'RE BRINGING THEIR SEMIS, THEY'RE GOING TO COME UP HERE AND THEY'RE GOING TO PARK, YOU KNOW, SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE. SO THIS IS GOING TO GO THROUGH

[00:25:03]

SURE. IT'S A GREAT POINT. AND I THINK THAT'S KIND OF THE IDEA IS LIKE YOU HAVE IT KIND OF IN THAT RICHARDSON TO THE NORTH AND WHATEVER THAT SPROUTS ROAD IS TO THE SOUTH. I'VE FORGOTTEN THE NAME OF THAT ONE. BUT YEAH. AND THEN. AND IF YOU REMEMBER, RICHARDSON GOES ALL THE WAY TO 2770. YEAH. IT'S A MAJOR. SO IT CAN IT CAN CUT. IT'S A GOOD EAST WEST. AND IS THAT WITHIN THAT TERSE ALL THE WAY UP TO THE. YES IT IS BECAUSE THAT TERSE ONE SHOULD REALLY BE FUNDING THAT ROAD AND MEANING THE DEVELOPERS LIKE I WANT TO SEE THE DEVELOPERS. SO DEVELOPERS HAVE PUT ALMOST NO DOLLARS INTO THESE ROADS. $8 MILLION BONDED OUT WAS BY THE CITY, BACKED BY THE TOURS. RIGHT. BUT DO WE HAVE THE FUNDS IN THAT TOURS TO COVER ROADS TO COVER? BECAUSE THE TOURS TO ME IS SUPPOSED TO BE INCREMENTAL, RIGHT? SO YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE OVER TIME, THE MONEY AND THE TOURS WILL GO AND FUND TO TO CREATE THIS AREA. FOR EXAMPLE, H-E-B'S A TOURS, RIGHT. THEY TOOK MONEY OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND UNTIL LIKE 2023 IT WASN'T SELF-FUNDING. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO USE THE TOURS, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ANYTHING IN THAT AREA BE SELF-FUNDED AND NOT NECESSARILY BY BONDS. WELL, THAT'S A POLICY QUESTION FOR YOU GUYS. THE TOURS CROMWELL WAS MEANT TO BE FUNDED BY TOURS REVENUE. SO IT'S ADDING ANOTHER ROAD THROUGH THERE RIGHT HERE.

OKAY. AND IT IS IT IS ALREADY CONTEMPLATED AS A PROJECT IN THE PROJECT PLAN FOR THAT PURPOSE. YEAH. IT'S NOT A NEW PROJECT MAYOR THAT'S GOING IN THE TOURS INCREMENT COVERS THE DEBT. SO THE ANNUAL DEBT PAYMENT. SO THAT INCREMENT IS JUST PAYING OFF THE DEBT EVERY YEAR. RIGHT. BUT AGAIN LIKE 16 LIKE THE 1626 AND H-E-B THAT WAS TAKING MONEY OUT OF OUR GENERAL FUND FOR DECADES. RIGHT. AND SO AS LONG AS THE MONEY IS THERE TO COVER THE NOT JUST LIKE THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG DEBT, BECAUSE AFTER 40 YEARS OR WHATEVER YEARS THAT TOURS EXPIRES AND ANY DEBT REMAINING THEN FALLS ONTO THE GENERAL FUND. YEAH, WE WANT ALL THE DEBT WILL BE PAID OUT OF THE TOURS, SO WE WOULD NEVER ALLOW THE DEBT TO ROLL OVER AND BECOME A GENERAL OBLIGATION. THE TOURS LIFE WILL MATCH UP WITH ANY DEBT ISSUANCE, BUT THAT CURRENT DEBT IN THAT TOURS IS AT LEAST 40 MILLION, IF NOT 50 MILLION, BECAUSE YOU HAVE 20 MILLION FOR THE YOU HAVE 20 MILLION FOR THE TWO PARKS, AND THEN YOU HAVE 8 MILLION FOR THE BONDS. AND THEN YOU HAVE WHAT FOR THE ROUNDABOUTS WHERE ANOTHER COUPLE MILLION. I MEAN, IT QUICKLY ADDS UP. AND AND HOW MUCH IS THIS ROAD GOING TO COST. AND SO I'VE MY, MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT BEFORE THAT IS ALL PAID OFF, THE TOURS FUNDS ARE PAID OFF OR THE DEBT IS IT'S GOING TO GO BACK TO THE GENERAL FUND, IT'S GOING TO EXPIRE, THAT TOURS WILL EXPIRE BEFORE WE CAN PAY IT OFF WITH ALL THE ISSUE BONDS. THE LAST TIME WE EXTENDED THE TERM OF THE TOURS TO MATCH UP WITH THE LIFE OF THAT DEBT OR WHATEVER THE MATURITY, I GET THAT AND I DON'T REMEMBER HOW MANY YEARS IT WAS 40. WE MATCHED THAT UP. THAT'S THE THOSE BONDS ARE OUTSTANDING. THERE'S CONTEMPLATED BONDS FOR THE ROUNDABOUTS, BUT THOSE HAVEN'T BEEN ISSUED. AND THEN YOU HAVE THE REPAYMENTS GOING BACK TO THE GENERAL FUND WHICH IS A CASH PAYMENT. IT'S NOT A DEBT PER SE. IT'S A POLICY DECISION OR THE TERMS. NUMBER TWO, TO PAY THAT BACK ANNUALLY TO THE GENERAL FUND FOR HEROES MEMORIAL. RIGHT. THAT'S THAT WHOLE THING THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO. BUT IT'S NOT A DEBT. IT'S A IT'S JUST A CASH PAYMENT. SO ALL THAT'S IN THAT FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND WE'RE GOING TO BRING ALL THAT BACK.

THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SEE ALL THAT STUFF. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.

IT'S JUST A ROAD. IT'S MEANT TO BE PAID FOR OUT OF OUT OF THE TOURIST DISTRICT HERE. AND IT WAS A IT WAS AN APPROVED. IF THERE WAS MONEY IN THAT FUND I WOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

BUT AGAIN, WHEN WE EXTEND OUR TOURS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE TAKING MONEY OUT OF OUR GENERAL FUND MONEY THAT SHOULD BE GOING THERE. RIGHT? JUST SALES TAX AND AND AD VALOREM TAXES, ALL THAT SHOULD BE GOING TO OUR GENERAL FUND. AND WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE ALLOCATING TO A CERTAIN PLACE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. SO ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT FUND IS GOING TO, YOU KNOW, FUND THAT DEBT, THAT'S ALSO MONEY THAT SHOULD BE SPREAD OUT THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY INSTEAD OF JUST ONE PARTICULAR PLACE. 40 YEARS IS A LONG TIME TO FOCUS ON AN AREA. THAT'S JUST THAT'S MY CONCERN. I'M TRYING WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD AN EQUITABLE CITY OF KYLE. AND I THINK RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST NOT THERE. AND SO WHEN WE CAN HAVE SOME KIND OF EQUITY THROUGHOUT, I WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE COMFORTABLE FOCUSING ON AN AREA.

SO IN YOUR CASE THEN YOU'RE NOT IN FAVOR OF BUILDING THE ROAD. THE CROMWELL I MEAN, AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO MAKE THAT CHOICE. ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS GOING TO SAY WAS, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING. YEAH. DURING BUDGET WE CAN WALK THROUGH ALL THE TOURS, PROJECTS,

[00:30:02]

IT'S THE MOST DESIRABLE PLACE IN THE CITY OF KYLE HANDS DOWN. AND SO WHEN YOU SAY IT'S COMPLEX, I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT YOU THAT MAYBE YOU DON'T THINK THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND IT, BUT I'M I'M HERE TO SAY I HAVE SPENT HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH THE TEXAS COMPTROLLER. THIS THE TOURS ISSUE WAS A BIG THING WHEN I WAS ON COUNCIL, BEFORE WE HAD PEOPLE COME UP AND HAVE OR, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S HOW WE MET LIBBY'S THROUGH IS THROUGH MY REQUEST TO HAVE THIS TOURS EXPLAINED TO US. SO I DO VERY MUCH UNDERSTAND HOW THE TOURS WORKS, HOW IT FUNCTIONS, THE GRANULE, WHATEVER YOU GUYS WANT TO CALL IT. I DO UNDERSTAND IT AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE A CONCERN. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR. I'M NOT SAYING YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT. I KNOW, BUT YOU SAID A LOT OF TIMES IT'S COMPLEX FROM THE GENERAL FUND IS A BIT REDUCTIVE.

THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN I DO UNDERSTAND COMPLEX THINGS, THOUGH, TO BE VERY CLEAR, I GUESS ON IT IS NOT. MY PART. AND AND I'LL YIELD THE FLOOR ON THE ROAD. FOR ME, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF HOW WHAT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT WOULD BE FOR THAT. I KNOW WE HAVE AN ENGINEER THAT'S COMING ACROSS AND JUST STARTED LOOKING AT THE FACE ABOUT 10 TO 14 MILLION. MY MY THING IS OKAY IF THAT. AND THEN WHERE IS THAT 10 TO 14 MILLION GOING TO COME OUT OF IF THE GENERAL FUND IF IT'S THE TOURS AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF. BECAUSE AGAIN, AS WE CAN SEE JUST NOW, THE GAS PRICES JUST CHANGED UP. RIGHT NOW IT'S GOING ON ALMOST $5 FOR FOR 50 FOR DIESEL. AND YOU KNOW, IT'S STARTING TO GO UP. SO I GUESS FOR ME I UNDERSTAND THE CONNECTIVITY, ANY KIND OF CONNECTIVITY WE CAN GET THROUGHOUT THE CITY, WHEREVER IT'S AT. I KNOW I'M A LITTLE BIASED BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, EAST SIDE NEEDS IT DESPERATELY. BUT ANYWHERE WE CAN GET A ROAD THAT CAN CONNECT ANYWHERE IN THE CITY, I'LL SUPPORT IT. BUT I JUST NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE THE FUNDING IS AT AND WHERE IT'S GOING TO COME FROM AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF. SO THE PLAN IS TO FUND IT OUT OF THE TOURS. AND IF YOU GUYS DECIDED YOU DIDN'T WANT TO FUND THE ROAD, THEN THE QUESTION IS, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH THOSE TOURIST DOLLARS? YEAH.

ARE THEY BONDED OUT ALREADY? NO. OKAY. SO WE DON'T HAVE TO OKAY. SO NO NO, NO. YOU'VE SPENT SOME MONEY ON SOME ENGINEERING. WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT TO DETERMINE THE ALIGNMENT AND SOME OF THE PARTICULARS OF THE ROAD. BUT IF YOU IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT PROJECT AND WE DON'T END UP DOING THE ROUNDABOUT, EVENTUALLY WE'LL NEED TO SEE HOW MUCH IT COSTS NO MATTER WHAT. AND THAT'S WHERE I'M AT. SO YOU HAVE MORE CAPACITY TO DO MORE PROJECTS IN THE TOURS, OR YOU COULD CHANGE YOUR PAYBACK SCHEDULE TO THE GENERAL FUND. I MEAN, THERE'S THINGS THERE'S OPTIONS. RIGHT. BUT BUT THEY'RE ALL THEY ALL INTERPLAY WITH EACH OTHER AND BUT IT STARTS WITH WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO. YEAH. RIGHT. AND THEN WE CAN FIGURE OUT THE FINANCIALS ONCE WE KNOW WHAT YOU WANT. OKAY. I'M GOOD TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER GOZA. I APPRECIATE WHAT AMBER WAS SAYING. IT'S A GREAT POINT ABOUT THE TRAFFIC INCREASE THERE. AND I DO THINK THAT'S WHY, AT LEAST FROM A TRAFFIC FLOW STANDPOINT, THAT ROAD WOULD BE WOULD BE CRITICAL. IT WOULD PASS ALL OF THAT THROUGH. MY COUNCIL MEMBER MCKINNEY SAID. IT WOULD BE ACCESS TO ALL THOSE FIELDS AND THEN ALSO AN ULTERIOR TO GET OUT TO 16. I DON'T THINK YOU COULD SERVICE THE FIELDS WITHOUT IT. YEAH. IF YOU DON'T BUILD THE ROADS, YOU CAN'T DO THE PROJECT. YOU COULDN'T DO ANYTHING THERE, RIGHT? YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE OFF TO A GOOD START. CREW ACTIVITY. SO THIS ONE SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT EASIER. THANK YOU. THIS ONE WAS. YOU GUYS, I THINK WE'RE ALL IN FAVOR OF THIS ONE. I GUESS FOR THIS ONE, IT'S CONNECTION DIVISION. AND THEN HOW QUICKLY YOU GUYS WANT TO MOVE REALLY IS IS THE IS THE ASK ON THIS. SO YOU GUYS JUST GIVE ME A WE'RE GOOD WHENEVER Y'ALL HAVE FILLED THIS ONE OUT. IS THIS JUST FOR THE FEASIBILITY STUDY. NOT FOR THE COMPLETION OF WHATEVER FEASIBILITY STUDY? YES. SO THIS IS THE FEASIBILITY STUDY. WHAT IT COULD BE. I THINK WE'VE ALREADY DONE QUITE A BIT OF PUBLIC INPUT ON IT AND THEN BRINGING THAT BACK. AND IT'S NOT NECESSARILY FUTURE PHASES, ALTHOUGH WHATEVER THAT FEASIBILITY IS, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY ALL WE'RE SAYING WE WANT TO DO, WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT, WE WANT TO DO SOME ELEMENT WITH IT, WHAT IT IS. OBVIOUSLY WE'LL COME BACK TO COUNCIL AND WE'LL HAVE DISCUSSIONS ON IT. SO IT'S A SHORT TERM PROJECT FEASIBILITY STUDY. IT SHOULD BE. YES. SO THIS IS JUST SO LET ME ASK. THIS IS A STUDY BECAUSE I'VE HAD PEOPLE REACH OUT AND SAY, HEY, WE WANT TO RENT THE KRUG CENTER. BUT STAFF TOLD THEM THAT THEY CAN'T BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE RECONSTRUCTED DURING THE SUMMER. I'M UNAWARE OF THAT. OKAY. I TOLD HIM I WOULD, I WOULD CHECK ON IT, BUT THEY WANT TO. DO THEY WANT TO LIKE DO EVERY YEAR THERE'S LIKE A BACK TO SCHOOL EVENT AND THEY WANTED TO AND THEY CUT KIDS HAIR FOR FREE AND THEY GIVE OUT STUFF. AND SO THEY WANTED TO KNOW IF THEY COULD HAVE THAT AT THE KRUG CENTER. AND, AND SO THEN THEY KRUG CENTER TOLD THEM THIS WAS THIS WEEK, THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE RENOVATIONS SO

[00:35:03]

OKAY. THAT'S. YEAH. BUT THIS IS TO FIGURE OUT I KNOW THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. IT'S JUST A FEASIBILITY IS MOVING OUT OF THAT SPACE. WHAT DO YOU WANT THAT BUILDING TO BE LONG TERM.

AND THE PRIOR COUNCIL HAD TALKED ABOUT MAYBE SOME KIND OF MUSEUM, MAYBE SOMETHING TO SHOW OUR HISTORY, SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THIS, THIS AREA. BUT TO USE IT ACTIVELY USE IT IN SOME WAY, NOT JUST TO BE SOME VACANT BUILDING SITS THERE. I'D HAVE TO I'D HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK SPECIFICALLY. BUT I THINK I THINK SOME OF THE MAJOR COMMUNITY INPUT ELEMENTS THAT CAME IN WERE A MEETING SPACE FOR THE COMMUNITY. I THINK MUSEUM WAS ONE OF THEM.

HISTORICAL MUSEUM WAS ONE OF THEM. THERE WERE LIKE SEVERAL OF THEM. WHAT WAS IT? EVENT CENTER? YEAH, TO HAVE EVENTS THERE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. YEAH. WE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL.

IT'S BEEN SOME MONTHS AGO. THEY CAME AND PRESENTED SOME DIFFERENT CONCEPTS. MULTI USE BUILDING BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. BUT THE USE OF THAT BUILDING IN ANY OF THOSE CASES WHEN I WAS TALKING TO THE CONSULTANT IS IT WOULD HAVE THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE SOME ELEMENT OF RENOVATION TO IT. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE KITCHEN OVER THERE AND IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST CONSTRUCTED. ODD DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT. THE BATHROOMS AREN'T ANYTHING. AND THE BATHROOMS, THAT'S ANOTHER ELEMENT. THE UPSTAIRS WITH THE STAIRS AND WITH THE AND THE THE STUFF THAT'S UP THERE. THERE'S JUST A LOT OF ELEMENTS TO THAT BUILDING. SO WHATEVER COUNCIL ULTIMATELY DECIDES THEY WANT TO DO WITH IT, THEN THERE WOULD BE SOME ELEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION WITH IT. MAYBE THAT'S WHERE THE CONFUSION WAS. MAYOR. IN THAT CONVERSATION THEY WERE SAYING IT COULD BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION DEPENDING ON WHAT WE'RE DOING, BUT I DON'T THERE'S CERTAINLY NO PLANS RIGHT NOW TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN SUMMER. YEAH.

OKAY. AND THEN WE'LL SKIP THROUGH. I DON'T THINK I HAVE PUT SPECIAL EVENTS ON HERE, BUT WE GOT GREAT. I JUST WANTED TO REMIND YOU GUYS WE GOT GREAT FEEDBACK FROM YOU GUYS ON THE FIFTH ON SPECIAL EVENTS, WE WILL BRING BACK AN ITEM ON ONE OF OUR WORK SESSION AGENDAS.

THAT'S THAT'S JUST ALL THE EVENTS. SO WE'LL HAVE OUR MAJOR EVENTS. WE'LL HAVE PARKS WALK THROUGH THOSE AND GET ALL THE ALL Y'ALL'S INPUT ON THOSE EVENTS, HOW Y'ALL MIGHT WANT TO TWEAK THEM, CHANGE THEM, ENHANCE THEM, SCALE THEM BACK, ALL OF THAT TYPE OF STUFF ON ALL OF OUR MAJOR EVENTS. IT'S NOT ON THIS PAPER, MAYOR. IT'S NOT NEWSPAPER, BECAUSE THIS WILL BE A WHOLE ITEM THAT COMES BEFORE YOU GUYS. BUT WE HEARD THAT FROM YOU GUYS THAT Y'ALL LOVE THE EVENTS, BUT Y'ALL WANT TO GIVE INPUT ON EACH ONE. SO WE'RE GOING TO BRING THAT BACK TO YOU GUYS IN A WORK SESSION THROUGH OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT. AND THEN KYLE CAMP. I JUST WANTED TO PUT THIS ONE UP BECAUSE WE WILL ALSO BRING SEPARATE WORK SESSION ON SOME OF OUR HIGHER, MORE USED RECREATION. I MEAN, I'M SURE YOU GUYS KNOW Y'ALL ARE VERY CONNECTED WITH PARKS AND RECREATION, BUT THEY PUT ON AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF PROGRAMS AND STUFF, ALWAYS EVALUATING HOW SUCCESSFUL THEY ARE AND STUFF AND THE ONES THAT REALLY ARE A HUGE BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THEY WANT TO ENHANCE AND GROW THIS BEING THE CHIEF AMONG THEM. I KNOW WE'VE SEEN SEVERAL EMAILS COME IN, SEVERAL EMAILS ABOUT BECAUSE THERE WAS JUST A SIGN UP FOR IT AND I HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE. THERE WAS A POOL, WHICH IS THE HUNGER GAMES AND STUFF, TO GET INTO THAT CAMP. SO I HAVE HEARD LAST YEAR, I THINK I TOLD YOU ALL THIS ON THE FIFTH. I HEARD FROM OUR STAFF THAT WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE WAITING TO GET INTO THE CAMP THAN ARE ACTUALLY IN THE CAMP. YEAH, AND YEAH, I WOULD LOVE FOR THAT. THAT GROUP TO COME SPEAK TO YOU GUYS LIKE THE PARKS RECREATION GROUP TO COME SPEAK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT GO INTO THAT CAMP, BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE OUR OWN INTERNAL RECREATION CENTER. IT'S NOT JUST WE HAVE A PLACE AND THEY ALL HAVE THEY TRAVEL, THEY GO TO. IT'S AN INCREDIBLE SUMMER CAMP, BUT THEY TRAVEL, THEY GO ALL THESE PLACES AND ALL OF THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF SPORTS AND STUFF THEY USE. MOST OF THEM WERE RENTING, WHICH IS A, WHICH IS MAKES THE COST GO UP QUITE A BIT. SO IT JUST ALL OF THOSE ELEMENTS. AND IF WE ENHANCE IT, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. IF WE, IF WE ENHANCE IT BY $50,000, DOES THAT MEAN, YOU KNOW, 4 OR 5 KIDS GET IN LIKE WHAT ARE ALL THE TRIGGERS AND ELEMENTS OF WHAT WHAT WE CAN DO TO GROW IT? I WANT THEM TO WALK YOU GUYS THROUGH ALL THAT, BUT THAT'LL BE ANOTHER ITEM THAT'S COMING. GOING BACK TO THE CAMP, I DON'T KNOW IF SOME OF Y'ALL REMEMBER ME EVEN BE HERE DURING THIS TIME WHERE WE WOULD. THE CAMP USED TO GOT SO BIG THAT THEY WOULD GO TO KYLE ELEMENTARY GYM AND MEET THERE AND HAVE THEIR SNACKS THERE. AND WHEN IT WAS WATER DAY, THEY WOULD WALK TO THE POOL. YEAH. AND YOU'D SEE A TRAIL OF KIDS JUST WALKING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE SWIMMING POOL, AND THEY'D HAVE THEM THERE IN THE CAMP. PERSON WAS TRYING TO KEEP THEM ORGANIZED. YEAH. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HERE COMES THE. YEAH. AND SO THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE SPACE TO PUT KIDS. YEAH. THERE'S NOWHERE FOR THEM TO GO. AND I REMEMBER BEING AT THE POOL WHEN THAT HAPPENED. AND THEN HERE COMES ROCKINGHORSE. AND THOSE KIDS ARE COMING THERE. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO CITY KYLE. LET'S ROLL. GET OUT OF HERE. I THINK THERE'S ONLY CAPACITY FOR 90 KIDS, THOUGH, SO THAT'S. YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT EXPANDED FOR SURE. BUT IT'S JUST A SPACE. WELL A LOT OF THEM ARE LIKE GOING OUT THERE LIKE TAKE THEM TO THE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT KIDS NECESSARILY CRAMPED UP IN A BUILDING EITHER. WELL IT'S A IT'S A BIG. YEAH. THAT'S VOLUNTEER COUNSELORS ALL THE TIME. THERE'S A THERE'S A LOT TO IT. BUT SEASONAL STAFF, WE DO A LOT OF REALLY INCREDIBLE STUFF. THE LIBRARY PARKS AND REC LIKE IN THE CITY THIS THIS PROGRAM. WE GET SO MUCH POSITIVE FEEDBACK. I MEAN, SO MUCH POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM IT. SO ANYWAY, I'LL LET THEM WALK YOU THROUGH THAT. ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO HAND THIS OVER TO AMBER. OKAY. OH, YEAH. HERE.

YOU WANT ME TO. YEAH, I'LL SWITCH THE THIS ONE AND SHE'LL GO THROUGH THE NEXT HANDFUL.

[00:40:08]

THERE YOU GO. YEP. OKAY. BACK. ALL RIGHT. HERE HERE IS MEMORIAL PARK RESTAURANT PAD SITE. THAT'S WHERE THE RESTAURANT PAD IS, RIGHT NEXT TO THE PARK. WE HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATION AGREEMENT WITH COMMON GROUND, AND WE DID A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SURVEY.

IT WAS VERY POPULAR. WE GOT A LOT OF COMMENTS RECEIVED ON THAT SURVEY ABOUT THE POTENTIAL RESTAURANT CONCEPTS. WE WENT THERE AND WE PLAN TO BRING THAT BACK TO YOU IN OPEN SESSION IN MARCH 24TH. HOW DO WE FEEL? LAST TIME YOU SAID THUMBS UP, SO LAKE PARK DISTRICT HOTEL AND DOES ANYONE HAVE THAT ONE? DID EVERYONE GET THAT ONE DOWN. GOT IT. OKAY OKAY HERE'S THE HOTEL CONFERENCE CENTER SITE. THIS IN FIVE WHERE IT WOULD GO. SO IT WOULD LOOK LIKE CONCEPTUALLY.

WE PLAN TO BRING THIS TO YOU IN EXECUTIVE SESSION ON THE 19TH, I BELIEVE, AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THIS. AND JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW, I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS LIKE FOR THE OFFICE DEVELOPMENT, THE THE INTENT IS NOT FOR US TO BOND THIS OUT AND BUILD THIS ON OUR OWN, BUT TO PARTNER WITH SOMEONE WHO WOULD DO ALL OF THAT WORK. AND THEN WE WOULD TRY TO FIND A WAY TO PARTNER WITH THEM AND PROVIDE SOME INCENTIVE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

BUT IT'S NOT FOR US TO ISSUE DEBT AND BUILD HOTEL. THAT'S NOT THE BUSINESS WE'RE IN.

WE'RE LOOKING TO FIND PARTNERS. SO THAT'S KIND OF THE SAME THING FOR THE OFFICE DEVELOPMENT OR FOR RESTAURANT. WE'RE NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF BONDING ALL THOSE THINGS. WE'RE TRYING TO DO PARTNERSHIPS. OKAY, HERE'S THE OFFICE PARCEL. LAST TIME Y'ALL WERE A NO ON THIS, I WE HAVE SOME MORE DETAILS THAT WE WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT PARTICULARS OF, OF THIS THIS PARCEL AND THIS BUILDING. WE WANT TO BRING THAT TO YOU ON THE 19TH AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT. SO HERE'S WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED WITH YOU IN CLOSED SESSION. RIGHT. THIS WAS DEDICATED TO THE CITY AND IS DEED RESTRICTED TO BEING A AN OFFICE, CLASS A OFFICE. IT WOULD BE THE FIRST CLASS A OFFICE THAT THE CITY WOULD HAVE.

AND THAT POTENTIAL PARTNER NEEDS ANOTHER COPY. I WAS ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT IT. YEAH, THEY'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT. OH WOW. YEAH I DIDN'T I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. YEAH. WE SHOULD JUST SAY THAT. OKAY. DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT. HERE IN BLUE ARE ALL THE STRATEGIC PROPERTIES THAT THE CITY OF KYLE OWNS IN THE DOWNTOWN. OKAY, I NEED TO CATCH UP. AND SO WE HAVE A WE DO HAVE TOURS NUMBER SIX TO HELP SUPPORT OUR LONG TERM DEVELOPMENT DOWN THERE. THE FIRST STEP IS JUST TO LOOK AT A SPECIFIC PROPERTY. I'M GOING TO GO BACK STRATEGIC PROPERTIES.

WE MIGHT WANT TO ACQUIRE. WHETHER WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO PURSUE THAT. AND FIRST STEP IN THE DEVELOPMENT REDEVELOPMENT OF DOWNTOWN WOULD BE LOOKING AT A PARKING GARAGE TO ADDRESS THE PARKING SOLUTIONS FOR CURRENTLY WHAT WE HAVE DOWNTOWN, AND THEN ANY ANYTHING POTENTIAL THAT WOULD ATTRACT PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT COMING TO DOWNTOWN AND BUILD THINGS THAT THEY KNEW THAT PARKING WAS AVAILABLE TOWARDS THEIR LEASES HERE. AND THE FACT THAT WE OWN THE PROPERTY ALLOWS US TO CONTROL WHAT GOES THERE. ABSOLUTELY. SO WE HAVE TO SAY WE WON'T BE ALL CARS, RIGHT BEFORE THE DOWNTOWN ESTHETICS. WE ARE LOOKING TO BEAUTIFY OUR ENTRYWAY OFF OF I-35. IT'S ONE OF OUR KEY GATEWAYS INTO THE CITY OF KYLE. AND AS WELL AS THROUGHOUT OUR DOWNTOWN. AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT POSSIBLY CLOSING FRONT STREET OUT HERE, MAKING

[00:45:04]

YEAH, THE TOURS DOES GO ACROSS I-35 INTO THE TWO STEP PROJECT. BUT AS FAR AS LOOSELY NOT OFFICIALLY ADOPTED BY THE COUNCIL. TO YOUR POINT, MAYOR, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN KIND OF A SENSITIVE TOPIC DOWNTOWN, BUT IT'S BASICALLY, I THINK, A 12 BLOCK AREA. IT'S JUST A SQUARE BLOCK. BUT THERE'S BEEN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT, DO WE INCLUDE FULL HIGHWAY 81? AND I THINK THOSE ARE IMPORTANT. WE CAN WORK WITH TEXDOT ON A TURN BACK PROGRAM, OR WE CAN TAKE CONTROL OF OLD HIGHWAY 81. AND, YOU KNOW, POTENTIALLY DEVELOP JUST SO MANY DIFFERENT HANDS IN THE AREA. YOU'VE GOT TXDOT, YOU'VE GOT UNION PACIFIC. WHAT PART OF LAND AND HOW MUCH LAND DO THEY OWN IN FRONT? I DON'T KNOW OKAY. HOLD ON. I THEY DON'T OKAY. LET ME LET ME FINISH PLEASE. THANK YOU. RIGHT NOW IS WHAT THEY OWN OKAY. WE GOT TXDOT. GOT US. IS THERE ANY COUNTY INVOLVEMENT THAT HAS TO DO WITH THAT? AND ALSO, YOU'RE RIGHT, IT WAS VERY, VERY TRICKY BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST GOT ON COUNCIL, I WAS PART OF THE DOWNTOWN TASK FORCE AND IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT RESIDENTS THAT WERE AFFECTED BECAUSE, AGAIN, THE BAR SITUATION. BUT YEAH, IF WE COULD FINALLY GET THAT TONED DOWN TO WHERE WE CAN FINALLY SEE WHERE IT'S AT, ALL THE MAJOR PLAYERS ARE AT AND GO FROM THERE, BECAUSE I'VE HAD SOME PEOPLE GO ON AND ON BECAUSE ALL THESE SIGNS THAT WERE HERE, THEY'RE ALL FUSSING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S NOT THE CITY. EVERYBODY WANTS TO MOVE THAT AROUND. BUT IT'S JUST SEEING HOW WE CAN CAN GET THAT. I THINK, YOU KNOW, DOWNTOWN IS WELL, LET'S NOT CONFUSE TWO DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT AND AND THAT FOOTPRINT WITH THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC, WHICH IS DOWNTOWN ESTHETIC, WHICH YOU HAVE TO THINK OF MORE FROM A LINE OF SIGHT PERSPECTIVE, LIKE WHEN YOU'RE COMING ACROSS I-35 ON THAT BRIDGE LOOKING THIS DIRECTION, WHAT DO YOU SEE AND HOW YOU KNOW? HOW DOES WHAT YOU SEE MAKE YOU FEEL? HOW DOES THAT IMPACT YOU KNOW, YOUR YOUR DRIVE AS YOU COME INTO THAT DOWNTOWN AREA? I'M VIEWING THIS AS, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE BEAUTIFY AS PEOPLE ARE COMING INTO OUR DOWNTOWN. SO THEY HAVE A POSITIVE IMAGERY OF IT WHEN WHEN YOU'RE COMING INTO IT. THAT'S BEEN THE IDEA, AND FRANKLY, IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD WHEN YOU COME INTO SOME AREAS. I MEAN, IT'S NOT HAVING ANY COORDINATION OR TLC ON SOME OF THOSE THINGS OFF OF 35, WE THINK THAT CORRIDOR COULD LOOK A LOT BETTER. BUT MICHAEL, TO YOUR POINT, I WOULD JUST SAY WE PROBABLY NEED TO COME BACK AT SOME POINT AND JUST HAVE A WORK SESSION JUST ON DOWNTOWN AND BOUNDARIES AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

AND I THINK HOW IN MY MIND, HOW THE CREW CENTER IS GOING TO BE REDEVELOPED, HOW DO WE SEE THAT INTERACTING WITH THIS AREA AND WHAT'S OUR REDEVELOPMENT PLAN TO KIND OF PUT SOME PRECISION AROUND THAT AND TO WHAT MIKE SAID. UNION PACIFIC DOES NOT REALLY KNOW WHERE THEIR BOUNDARIES ARE ON THIS WHOLE CORRIDOR. THEY DON'T HAVE GOOD PROPERTY OWNERSHIP IDEAS. YOU KNOW, THE PROPERTY OWNERS ALONG 81 ALONG THE RAILROAD TRACK WANT TO DEVELOP BEHIND THEIR PROPERTY. THEY DON'T. UNION PACIFIC CANNOT COME OUT AND SAY, OKAY, THIS IS WHERE OUR PROPERTY IS AND THIS IS YOURS. COULD WE HAVE STAFF LIKE RESEARCH THE DEED RECORDS JUST TO CHECK BECAUSE I'M SURE THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOMETHING FILED, BUT MAYBE NOT. THE RECORDS WERE AS NEATLY KIND OF SURPRISING FOR ME TO HEAR THAT, SO. ME TOO. I CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT ALL THOSE THINGS. YEAH, THE SLOVAKS HAVE DEALT WITH THAT FOR ALL THE TIME THEY'VE OWNED THAT PROPERTY. BUT THAT JUST SUMMARIZES WHY, BEFORE WE START LOOKING AT TRYING TO BEAUTIFY

[00:50:03]

BUT THIS IS A SMALL TOWN THAT HAD SO MANY DIFFERENT HANDS, SO MANY DIFFERENT PROPERTIES.

OWNERS, STATE, COUNTY AND UNION PACIFIC. WE IT HAS TO BE NARROWED DOWN BEFORE WE START MAKING IDEAS OF LIKE, THIS IS HOW BEAUTIFUL AND GORGEOUS I WANT THIS TO LOOK. WE MAY NOT HAVE A SAY AS FAR AS WELL WHERE IT IS, YOU KNOW. AND YOU'RE RIGHT, WE WHATEVER DEEDS RESTRICTIONS WE HAVE. YEAH. YOU KNOW, WE JUST CAN'T. WELL, WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT ON THIS CORRIDOR NEXT TO THE RAIL LINE AND GET THAT CLEANED UP. SO WE UNDERSTAND ALL THAT. I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT ISSUE. SO IT'S HILARIOUS. AND THE UNION PACIFIC REPS HAVE STUDIED IT.

THEY'VE TRIED TO FIND THEIR RECORDS. THEY HAVE NO RECORDS THAT THEY CAN FIND FOR IT. SO IT'S ANCIENT. YEAH, YEAH, 150 YEARS OLD OF TRYING TO FIND RECORDS AND THEY CAN'T. AND BASICALLY WHAT THEY'VE TOLD US DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO. WE WANT TO GET PERMISSION BEFORE WE DO THAT. YEAH. YES. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING YOU AT THIS, YOU BETTER. YEAH. AND AT THIS POINT WE HAVE WE ALSO HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE WE START DIGGING UP OLD, OLD RECORDS THAT COULD STILL BELONG TO A FAMILY HERE. AND THEY'RE LIKE, OH, REALLY? WE OWNED ALL THAT THIS WHOLE TIME. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. WELL, MAYBE MOVING FORWARD, WE CAN KIND OF DEFINE IT. WE CAN EAT IT. WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT, NOT JUST LEAVE IT HANGING. YEAH. THE THING ABOUT THE SIGNS, YOU KNOW, DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL PEOPLE YOU CAN'T PUT THEM IN THE FLOWER BEDS? OR. OF COURSE YOU CAN'T. YES. THEY CAN'T PUT THERE. SHOULDN'T PUT THEIR SIGN THERE. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO COME BACK. YEAH. THAT'LL COME BACK. YEAH. I THINK TO THAT POINT MICHAEL WE'RE YOU KNOW I THINK WE CAN ENGAGE ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS. I THINK I THINK WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE. AND I THINK WE CAN BE THE LEADERS. I MEAN, TO YOUR POINT, WE CAN BE THE LEADERS AND WE CAN KIND OF LEAD ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS THROUGH, YOU KNOW, REDEVELOPING OUR DOWNTOWN AND MAKING IT MORE BEAUTIFUL. AND IT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT FOR US TO DO THAT. SO ALL RIGHT, JUST ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND BECAUSE IT'S ON OUR WEEKLY REPORTS AND THERE'S NEVER ANY MOVEMENT ON IT. THE ANTI-DISPLACEMENT RESOURCES AND POLICIES THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE AS WE TALK ABOUT DOWNTOWN IS GOING TO BE ESSENTIAL FOR ME.

LIKE, I WON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING A LOT OF IT UNLESS WE HAVE ANTI-DISPLACEMENT POLICIES THAT AT LEAST DRAFTED AND RESOURCES DRAFTED BEFORE WE START ANY OF THAT. SO IN PARTICULAR FOR DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT JUST IN GENERAL. RIGHT? I MEAN, IT'S IN GENERAL, BUT RIGHT NOW, LIKE I SAID ON THE WEEKLY REPORTS, IT'S MADE NO MOVEMENT. AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT MOVING FORWARD. YEAH, I GET TRIGGERED ON THAT. NO, WE'RE HOUSING WORKS. WE'RE WORKING ON THAT. WE'RE GOING TO SET UP A MEETING WITH YOU AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT BACK TO YOU GUYS. BUT IT'S IT'S IT'S MOVING AS FAST AS YOU WANT. I KNOW THAT'S MY BREAD AND BUTTER. I CARE ABOUT IT. I KNOW YOU DO. NOTHING MOVES AS FAST AS THE COUNCIL WANTS. YEAH, WE WE CAN MOVE FAST. I TRUST THAT I DO. I'M IMPRESSED. DPW AND WATER UTILITIES HEADQUARTERS. Y'ALL APPROVE A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE LAST MEETING? AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT SPACE CONSTRAINTS AT OUR CURRENT. I BELIEVE SOME OF YOU TOOK A TOOK A TOUR. IF YOU WERE HERE AT CITY HALL, YOU'VE SEEN. WE'RE ALL ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. WE'VE GOT TPW TRANSPORTATION, PUBLIC WORKS, SPREAD OUT, OPERATIONS BASICALLY OVER AT OUR CURRENT FACILITY. AND THEN WE'VE GOT ENGINEERING'S OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM DELIVERY TEAM HERE. SO WE WOULD LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT OUR OUR TWO BIGGEST INFRASTRUCTURE DEPARTMENTS TOGETHER AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD UP OUR FLEET FLEET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM.

WE DO NOT HAVE A FLEET MAINTENANCE AND FLEET PROGRAM CURRENTLY. WE SPEND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON THAT EVERY YEAR. WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A FUELING FACILITY AS WELL AS PART OF THIS. AND AS YOU KNOW, THAT'S A CRITICAL, YOU KNOW, DURING THE ICE STORM THAT WE EXPERIENCED WINTER STORM URI, WE WERE WAITING ON SEMI TRUCKS TO COME TO US AND DELIVER DIESEL FUEL. SO IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE THOSE FACILITIES. THOSE FACILITIES WENT DOWN, WE LOST POWER, WE DIDN'T HAVE GENERATORS, SO IF WE HAD FUEL ON SITE, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO CHARGE THOSE GENERATORS AND KEEP WATER FLOWING THROUGH THE CITY. ALL RIGHT. ALLIANCE WATER, ALSO KNOWN AS ARWA PHASE ONE, C AND D, HERE'S OUR TAKE POINT. OUR SECOND POINT IS 1626. HERE IS THE MAP OF WHERE IT'S ALL GOING. SO WHAT DOES ONE D DO. WE'RE ALREADY IN ONE C RIGHT. B OR ONE B. SO THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE FOR THE OPAL TAKE POINT.

[00:55:05]

THAT'S GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU. OKAY, GREAT. THIS IS BASICALLY I DO. BUT WHAT ABOUT D? WHAT IS D. SO THAT'S A LITTLE FURTHER OUT THAT SO D IS GOING TO BE TRYING TO REMEMBER THE DATES. I THINK THAT'S 2030 IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY KIND OF WHEN THAT. SO THERE'S SOME DIFFERENT TRANCHES. IT'S 2 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY AND 37 LATE 27 EARLY 28. AND THERE'S ANOTHER 2030 OR DELIBERATELY I DON'T REMEMBER THE DATES, BUT WE'VE GOT THOSE. THE ENGINEERS MAKE THIS THE MOST COMPLICATED WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF THIS PROJECT. IF ONE, A, B, C, D AND THERE'S A TWO DOWN. YES. I JUST WISH YOU COULD HAVE BEEN NUMBER ONE. YEAH, YEAH. I JUST WISH IT COULD HAVE BEEN NUMBER THREE. BUT YEAH. YEAH. SO THIS IS GOING THIS IS BRINGING WATER HERE TO SAN MARCUS BASICALLY BY THAT WATER TANK. IT'S BY BLANCO VISTA. AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO CONNECT AND TAKE IT TO OPAL. WHEN YOU GUYS BRING THAT BACK, IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE COULD GET INFORMATION THAT DISCUSS LIKE AN ESTIMATE OF COST AND THEN HOW LONG IT'LL TAKE TO BUILD THAT? BECAUSE BECAUSE I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. BUT IF WE'RE NOT EVEN ABLE TO ACCEPT IT UNTIL 2030, WHERE DO WE PUT THAT IN OUR PRIORITY LIST? RIGHT. BECAUSE IF WE BUILD IT NOW, THEN IT JUST REMAINS. OH, NO. SO MAYBE MAYBE I SAID THAT THE WRONG WAY. SO FOR THE 2728 WE HAVE TO START NOW WITH THAT FACILITY. SO THEN WHEN THEIR LINE GETS THERE, WE HAVE A FACILITY TO PUMP IT OUT INTO THE CITY. SO IT'S OUR PLOTTING, OUR PROJECTS UP THERE.

LINES ARE COMING IN. CAN WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION? THAT'D BE GREAT. SURE. YEAH WE CAN WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT. AND I THINK WE HAVE GRAHAM COME IN FROM ARWA PERIODICALLY TO PROVIDE A BRIEFING TO THE COUNCIL. AND WE CAN DO THAT TOO, JUST HERE'S WHERE WE ARE, WHAT'S GOING ON AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THE WAY YOU HAVE A GOOD TOUCH POINT ON IT WOULD BE GOOD.

YEAH. BECAUSE WE'RE STARTING PHASE THREE. THERE WE ARE. UNCLE AND RECOVERY. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON A FEASIBILITY STUDY HERE LOOKING AT HYDRAULIC MODELING AND FIELD INVESTIGATIONS. BASICALLY, AS BRIAN ALWAYS SAYS, WE GET THE SAME AMOUNT OF WATER IN JANUARY THAT WE DO IN JULY. SO WE WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE EXTRA WATER THAT WE HAVE.

AND WE ALREADY PAID FOR IN JANUARY. WE WOULD PUT THAT INTO THE AQUIFER AND BE ABLE TO PUMP IT OUT WHEN WE NEED IT IN JULY, HELP SHAVE OFF SOME OF THOSE PEAK DEMANDS. IT WOULD GIVE US COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE WATER SUPPLY. WE WOULD, YOU KNOW, IT WOULDN'T BE NECESSARILY SUBJECT TO THE CONSERVATION MEASURES. IT WOULD JUST BE SUBJECT TO WHATEVER WE'VE GOT IN THERE AND WHAT WE'RE PERMITTED TO PUMP OUT. IT'S A HUGE AMOUNT THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PUT INTO THAT.

SO OKAY, SO I'M CONFUSED. WE HAVE A STORAGE TANK THAT'S DOING THAT AS WELL IS THAT I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT 1626 WAS DOING. SO YEAH. SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY A GROUND STORAGE TANK. RIGHT. BUT GROUND STORAGE TANK, THE ONE THAT WE HAVE OF 1626 I THINK IT'S 3.5 MILLION GALLONS. OKAY. SO THAT'S A LOT OF WATER. RIGHT. BUT WE'RE TALKING ULTIMATELY AN AQUIFER.

YOU COULD PUT BILLIONS AND IT GOES DOWN IN THE GROUND RIGHT. YEAH OKAY OKAY. AQUIFER THAT YOU WOULD INJECT THAT DOWN IN THE GOOD YEARS. YOU HAVE EXTRA WATER THAT YOU'RE GETTING IN.

AND THEN YOU ESSENTIALLY CROWDSOURCING WHEN YOU PUMP IT OUT WHEN YOU NEED IT. OKAY.

PEAK PERIODS. AND IT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO BETTER MANAGE OUR OVERALL RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE. AND WE GET FOUR POINT ALMOST 4.6 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY JUST OUT OF GEBURAH. I DON'T USE ALL OF THAT AND A LOT OF THE WINTER MONTHS, BUT I BUT I PAY FOR IT TO TAKE OR PAY CONTRACT. SO LET'S INJECT IT AND PUT THOSE DOWN. AND THEN WHEN YOU HAVE OTHER WATER SOURCES, YOU HAVE A GOOD YEAR. YOU GET SOME RAINFALL. YOU CAN BUILD UP THAT SUPPLY AND THEN USE IT WHEN YOU NEED TO. CAN YOU GUYS WHEN YOU PRESENT THAT, TELL US HOW MUCH WATER EXTRA THAT WE COULD BE SAVING? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. FOR STORING I SHOULD SAY WE HAD A DETAILED PRESENTATION TO THE COUNCIL LAST YEAR ON THIS. WE HIRED A FIRM I BELIEVE THAT WAS STEVE AS WELL, TO DO THE PILOT PROGRAM TO LOOK AT THAT. SO IT'S ABOUT THAT'S THE MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT COST THAT WAS MENTIONED HERE. THEN THEY'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND SAY, HERE'S THE FEASIBILITY, HERE'S WHERE YOU CAN PUT IT, HERE'S EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF PUMPING CAPACITY YOU CAN HAVE AND HOW THIS RELATES TO THE OVERALL SYSTEM. SO YOU CAN SEE HOW YOU WOULD USE IT THAT TIME FRAME. YEAH. YEAH. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. RIGHT. SO ALL THESE THINGS TAKE TIME TO BUILD THESE PROJECTS. BUT WE THINK THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY VALUABLE PROJECT AND THE OVERALL SYSTEM BECAUSE THE PEAKS ARE WHAT CAUSES OUR CHALLENGES WITH OUR SYSTEM.

AGAIN, WE HAVE ENOUGH WATER FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. IT'S JUST MEETING THE DEMAND THAT YOU HAVE IN JULY. IF I HAD IT ALL STORED, THERE WOULD. AND THE OTHER THING I THINK IS WOULD

[01:00:02]

IF WE HAVE THIS, YOU KNOW, READY AND WAITING, WE COULD BE STRATEGIC ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DRAWING OUT OF THE AQUIFER, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. WE COULD PUMP THAT INTO THE SYSTEM INSTEAD.

IS THE TRINITY SUBJECT TO THE SAME TYPE OF CONSERVATION MEASURES AS THE EDWARDS AQUIFER? SO IF WE'RE PUMPING ALL OF THIS IN AND PERHAPS RAISING THE LEVEL OF THAT TRINITY AQUIFER, THEN ARE OTHER PEOPLE ABLE TO USE THAT INFLATED VOLUME TO PUMP MORE OUT, AND THEN IT WOULD AFFECT US IN THE FUTURE ON WHAT WE CAN DRAW OUT THAT WE PUT IN. THAT'S BEYOND MY TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES ON THAT. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. ENGINEERS WENT THROUGH ALL OF THAT AND WE'LL COME BACK AND THEY CAN GO THROUGH ALL THOSE DETAILS WITH YOU. YEAH. IT'S COMPLICATED AND I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW TO ANSWER IT. SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS WHATEVER WE PUT IN IS OURS. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. BUT HOW WOULD THEY HOW WOULD THEY DIFFERENTIATE THAT. RIGHT. AND THEY SAID OH THAT'S OKAY. OKAY. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. THIS IS NOT NEW TECHNOLOGY. IT'S DONE. SO THEY'LL BE ABLE TO WALK THROUGH IT. I DON'T THINK IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I JUST DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. YEAH I THINK SAN ANTONIO I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. SAN ANTONIO TAKES WATER FROM THE EDWARDS AQUIFER AND PUTS IT INTO THE WILCOX DOWN THERE. OH, YEAH. FOR OTHER PEOPLE. AND I DON'T KNOW THE TECHNICALITIES ON HOW IT WORKS EITHER. I JUST THE UNDERSTANDING IS IF WE'RE STORING IT, IT'S OUR WATER.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU PUT IN. SO THEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU TAKE OUT, RIGHT? I GUESS I'M JUST CONCERNED, THOUGH, THAT IT WOULD INSULATE THE LEVEL OF THE AQUIFER SO THAT PEOPLE ARE DRAWING MORE OUT. SO GET SOME SMART PEOPLE. WELL, BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE GET IN, WE PUT OUT. THAT'S PERMITTING. RIGHT. BUT ACTUAL WATER, LIKE IF EVERYBODY'S PUMPING OUT AND YOU DON'T HAVE IT, REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE'RE PERMITTED, YOU MAY NOT GET WHAT YOU PUT IN OR WHAT YOU PAY FOR, OR STORE THE TECHNICAL EXPERTS TO COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT IT.

DEFINITELY WAY OVER MY SKIS ON THAT ONE. OKAY, CROMWELL RECLAIMED WATER LINE. THIS IS A WATER LINE THAT WE HAVE FEDERAL EARMARKED FUNDS FOR TO THE TUNE OF NEARLY $3 MILLION. WE JUST GOT THE GRANT AWARD. WE PLANNED TO BRING A RESOLUTION, OFFICIAL GRANT, AWARD RESOLUTION TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL VERY SOON. HERE IS THE PUMP STATION. WE WILL IMPROVE THAT, IMPROVE OURS AS WELL AS THE GOLF COURSES. AND THEN WE WILL CONSTRUCT THIS LINE ALL THE WAY UP TO KOHLERS.

AND IT CONNECTS WITH AN EXISTING LINE THAT'S ALREADY THERE, THAT'S MEANT TO WATER OUR PARKS, SPORTS PLEX FIELDS. AND THEN THE HEROES MEMORIAL. OKAY, SO MY FIRST QUESTION IS WE HAVE 3 MILLION AND THE CITY'S DESIGNATED FOR THIS. RIGHT. BUT WE COULD DESIGNATE IT ANYWHERE. SO IF WE WANTED TO USE THIS WATER FOR WATER LEAF OR ANY EXISTING FIELDS, WE COULD DO THAT AS WELL. SO WE ARE CONNECTING WATER LEAF TO AS PART OF THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLAN EXPANSION THAT'S COMING VERY SOON, WE ARE GOING TO DIRECTLY CONNECT THEM TO RECLAIMED WATER. WHAT ABOUT GREG CLARK PARK? DID GREG CLARK PARK? WE DO NOT HAVE A LINE TO GREG CLARK PARK. SO WE THIS IS OUR THIS IS ONE OF OUR MAJOR LINES FROM THE TREATMENT PLANT COMES COMES HERE. SO WE'VE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT THAT. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT IN TERMS OF WHAT OUR WATER SUPPLY LOOKS LIKE. DO WE WANT TO REALLY FOCUS ON THE $160 MILLION THAT WE CAN TAKE TO BUILD OUT OUR COMPLETE PURPLE PIPE PROJECT, OR DO WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE INDIRECT POTABLE REUSE, DIRECT POTABLE REUSE, WHERE WE'RE ACTUALLY TAKING THAT WATER FROM THE PLANT, WE'RE TREATING IT, AND THEN WE'RE PUTTING IT BACK INTO OUR POTABLE WATER SUPPLY, AND WE'RE DRINKING IT IN WATERING GRASS WITH IT THROUGH THROUGH EXISTING PIPES, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. LAST TIME COUNCIL WAS A NO ON THIS, BUT I THINK JUST KNOWING THAT WE'RE VERY CLOSE TO HAVING THOSE DOLLARS, IF THAT MAKES SENSE, AND THEN BEING ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE REST OF OUR PARK SYSTEM. DO WE? YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT WE COULD ALL USE THAT MONEY FOR. IS IT JUST FOR PIPING OR IS IT CAN WE LIKE BECAUSE WE CAN PIPE IT ANYWHERE. RIGHT. BUT IF IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR US TO CONSTRUCT OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE COULD USE TO, LIKE, MAYBE WE CAN GET I CALL IT AFFLUENT. I KNOW IT'S NOT CALLED THAT, BUT LIKE CLEANER WATER THAT WE CAN USE FOR POTABLE. I THINK I WOULD BE MORE ON BOARD FOR THAT, BECAUSE YOU COULD USE IT ALL OVER THE CITY AS OPPOSED TO ONE AREA. SURE. SO TWO POINTS FOR THAT. SO FIRST OF ALL, NO, WE CANNOT USE IT ANYWHERE ELSE. IT'S AN EARMARK FROM LLOYD DOGGETT AND THEN FROM GREG CASAR. SO THEY SAID THEY CALLED US I CAN'T REMEMBER. WE WERE ON THE LEADING EDGE. KYLE WAS ON THE LEADING EDGE FOR A LONG TIME TO GET THESE FEDERAL EARMARKS THROUGH BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN AND SUCH. BUT SO THEY SPECIFICALLY SAID, WE LIKE THIS PROJECT. WE WANT TO CONTINUE THIS PROJECT. THIS IS RECLAIMED WATER IS ALL YOU CAN USE IT FOR. OKAY, BUT NOT THIS NOT JUST CROMWELL. ANYWHERE. ANYWHERE. BUT THEY

[01:05:01]

IT MADE A LOT OF SENSE REGARDING OUR IT'S TYPE ONE WATER. RIGHT. SO THE PLAN PHASE ONE, TYPE ONE WATER, WE ARE UPGRADING OUR PLANTS SO THAT WE WILL HAVE TYPE WATER. TYPE ONE WATER. AGAIN WE COULD THROUGH THAT WE CAN EXPLORE THE INDIRECT POTABLE REUSE AND THE DIRECT POTABLE REUSE. BUT ON TOP OF THAT IT'LL JUST BE BETTER QUALITY WATER THAT WILL BE SENDING INTO THE CREEK. SO WE'VE ALREADY GOT THAT PROJECT UNDERWAY WITH THE PLAN EXPANSION. THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION. SO THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY IS THIS IS ALL CONNECTED TO TO THE OUR NUMBER ONE USER FOR THE EFFLUENT IS OFF COURSE, RIGHT? I MEAN THEY'RE USING THAT WATER TO WATER THE COURSE. THEY PAY FOR THAT WATER. WE GET A NEW AGREEMENT TO COME LAST YEAR MAYBE MIDDLE OF LAST YEAR, WE DID A NEW AGREEMENT WITH THE GOLF COURSE TO EXTEND OUT THAT ALL THE PUMPING FACILITIES AND HOW WE USE THAT POND THAT'S THERE, THE GOLF COURSE FOR MOST OF MY GOLF WAS IN THAT POND, BUT THAT POND IS THERE AND IT MIXES AND IS THEN PUMPED OUT. SO IT'S ALL DRAWING UPON ALL THAT INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S ALREADY THERE. A LINE LIKE THIS, YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE A USER AT THE OTHER END TO KIND OF MAKE SENSE OF IT. SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW IT'S BEEN PULLED TOGETHER. IT'S USING ALL THAT. AND I DON'T REMEMBER IF WE HAVE ON THIS SLIDE, WE HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT COSTS FOR ENGINEERING AND OTHER THINGS THAT WE KNOW ABOUT, KIND OF WHAT'S BEEN SPENT. IT'S BEEN THERE'S A LOT. SO I THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO TO SERVICE THE THREE PARTS THAT ARE ULTIMATELY GOING TO BE IN THAT AREA. WELL, THEY'RE NOT HERE YET. SO MY, MY THEORY, MY. YES. BUT THAT THAT'S ALREADY A FUNDED AREA. RIGHT. SO WHAT ABOUT STEEPLECHASE OR GRAY CLARK PARK OR EXISTING PARKS THAT ALSO NEED A LITTLE BIT OF TLC? I AGREE WITH YOU. I THINK OUR PARKS SHOULD BE IRRIGATED AT SOME POINT, BUT BUT THERE EXIST LIKE THEY'VE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE. THIS PROJECT WILL, BY NOT DOING THIS DOESN'T ALLOW THOSE TO HAPPEN. I MEAN, THIS IS THE IT'S THIS IS THE PROJECT THAT THE FEDS FUNDED, RIGHT? TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN GO ANYWHERE. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE IN PROXIMITY TO. RIGHT. BUT THE 3 MILLION IS JUST WHAT THEY'RE I MEAN, IT'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN 3 MILLION, RIGHT? THIS IS THIS PROJECT COSTS 15.1 MILLION. SO STEEPLECHASE WOULD BE WAY MORE THAN THAT TO GO TO TO GO TO GREG CLARK PARK TO PARK. IT WOULD BE WAY MORE. WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THOSE NUMBERS.

YOU KNOW, TO YOUR POINT, I THINK WE DO HAVE PLANS FOR STEEPLECHASE BECAUSE I THINK WE ARE RUNNING A WASTEWATER LINE OR IMPROVING ONE, AND I THINK WE'RE RUNNING A PURPLE PIPE ALONG WITH THAT PROJECT. SO LET ME GET YOU INFORMATION ON THAT. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT GREG CLARK PARK, BUT WE COULD LOOK AT THE MASTER PLAN BECAUSE THAT PARK IS USED A LOT, CORRECT? YEAH, YEAH. NO, I AGREE, I THINK ALL ALL OF THEM NEED TO BE HERE. YEAH. I WOULD LOVE FOR ALL OF OUR PARKS, BUT YEAH, IT'S JUST GETTING THERE. IT'S IT'S COMPLEX AND IT TAKES TIME. I MEAN THIS PROJECT HAS TAKEN YEARS. AND TO WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE POND BEING FILLED WITH THIS WATER THAT IS NOT THE LAKES AT PLUM CREEK, RIGHT. IT'S DIFFERENT. RIGHT? YEAH.

BECAUSE SOMEBODY SAID, WELL, THOSE HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH, YOU KNOW, THE CITY WATER. NO THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE RUNOFF. YES. CORRECT. RIGHT. OKAY. ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE. OKAY. SO AS YOU KNOW, THE GOLF COURSE, IS THERE WATER ALREADY CONVERTED TO THERE. EXACTLY. WHO GETS THEIR WATER. SO METERS TO BE AUTOMATED ELECTRONIC. WE'VE WE'VE HAD SOME SAVINGS IN THAT BY DOING IT IN-HOUSE AND IT'LL JUST IT'LL WORK WELL WITH BEING ABLE TO LET OUR CUSTOMERS KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE LEAKS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. WE'LL BE MORE RESPONSIBLE STEWARDS OF OUR WATER SUPPLY IF WE'RE ABLE TO GET THAT INFORMATION OUT TO THE CUSTOMERS. AND HAS THAT FUNDED. WHEN WE SEE THESE, CAN WE FIGURE OUT HOW IT'S GOING TO BE FUNDED AS WELL? RIGHT. THIS IS THIS IS GOING TO BE WATER FUND WATERFRONT. OKAY. AND THE I THINK WE'VE GOT 100% OF THE NEW METERS IN, DON'T WE. 100% OF THE METERS HAVE BEEN. THEY ARE READY. I THINK IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS WE'LL BE TALKING TO YOU IN COUNCIL ABOUT THE DASHBOARD AND HOW YOU CAN USE IT AND ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. YEAH, IT'S KIND OF IT'S KIND OF DONE. THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING. YEAH. LIKE, HOW FAR ALONG ARE WE ON THIS? WE CAN'T SAY FOR NOW. YEAH. WE'RE PRETTY FAR ALONG. NO, LET'S JUST FUMBLE. RIGHT. WE CHANGED OUR MIND. LIKE, ISN'T THERE A JOKE? THERE'S A THERE'S A TEAM EVERY YEAR THAT DOES IT RIGHT.

INTERCEPTION. THE INTERCEPTION. YES THAT'S RIGHT. THERE'S A COMMERCIAL MCDONALD'S I DON'T KNOW OKAY. WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLAN EXPANSION. WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS. WE'RE GOING TO NINE MGD RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE AN EARLY WORKS PROJECT THAT WILL BRING US TO 6 MILLION MGD. AND THEN THE PHASE TWO DELIVERS THIS ALL THE WAY TO NINE WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW, THAT'S GOING TO GET US TO SIX RIGHT BY LATER THIS YEAR. BY LATER THIS YEAR. THESE ARE AND

[01:10:06]

WE WON'T PAY FOR IT FOR TWO YEARS. RIGHT? LIKE THE $2.100 MILLION? WELL, NO, THOSE ARE BOND FUNDED, RIGHT? RIGHT. SO THEY'LL BE PAID OVER TIME. AND WE WE DO HAVE SOME STRATEGIES THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT WITH YOU ABOUT HOW TO MANAGE RATES. AND ONE OF THOSE IS LOOKING AT THE WIFIA LOAN PROCESS. WE LEARN ABOUT THAT WITH THE EPA OF HOW YOU CAN DO SOME DIFFERENT THINGS WITH STRUCTURING THAT OUT. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BRING TO YOU A COMMERCIAL PAPER PROGRAM. SO IT'S BASICALLY A SHORT TERM DEBT INSTRUMENT. IF YOU'VE EVER HEARD OF THOSE 270 DAYS, USE IT FOR WHILE YOU'RE CONSTRUCTING FACILITIES. AND THE REASON WHY IS YOU DON'T WANT TO ISSUE ALL $210 MILLION, AND THEN IT TAKES YOU TWO YEARS TO BUILD THE PROJECT. AND YOU HAVE YOU'RE PAYING PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON THAT COMMERCIAL PAPER IS YOU'RE JUST IT'S LIKE A CONSTRUCTION LOAN. IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN HOW A HOUSE GETS BUILT OR WHAT'S A CONSTRUCTION LOAN, AND THEN YOU FIX IT OUT TO A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME ONCE THE PROJECT IS ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTED, IT GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME WITH IT AND SPREAD THOSE PAYMENTS OUT.

AND THAT'S SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT WITH OUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS OF HOW TO GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF FLEXIBILITY ON THE FRONT END TO HELP US MANAGE WATER RATES, SO WE CAN BRING YOU OPTIONS ON ALL THOSE SO YOU CAN SEE THEM. BUT IT'S WE BELIEVE IT'S ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL PROJECT TO DO. AND AND IT NOT ONLY DOES IT GET YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO BE FOR WASTEWATER, BUT IT IMPROVES THE ESTHETICS THERE. I THINK WE SHARED I THINK WE'VE TURNED EVERYBODY OVER THERE. IT'S GOING TO HAVE THE MASONRY WALL LANDSCAPING BUFFER AND IT PROVIDES THE WATER TO GO TO WATER WATER PARKING HERE. BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY DIRECTION ON IT THAT YOU WANT. IT'S JUST A IT'S A BIG TICKET ITEM. I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS FOR YOU ON WHAT TO DO WITH IT. AND YOU AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT TO ONCE YOU GET TO 12 HERE, WE'RE DONE. YEAH. LOOKING AT SOMETHING ELSE IN THE FUTURE. YEAH, YEAH. AND JUST JUST TO ADD TO THAT, I MEAN, T-C-E-Q HAS CERTAIN PERCENTAGES AT FLOWS WHERE WE HAVE TO BE UNDER DESIGN AND PLANNING FOR THE NEXT PHASE. AND IF WE'RE NOT, WE'RE SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE ISSUES WITH T-C-E-Q. OKAY. THE ROUNDABOUTS AT COORS CROSSING, SANDERS, BENNER AND CROMWELL. AMBER, HANG ON ONE SECOND. I JUST THAT END THE FIRST PAGE. SECOND OR SECOND PAGE, JUST FOR THE SAKE OF COLLECTING ALL THE DATA TOGETHER, IF YOU GUYS DON'T MIND, UNLESS YOU'RE USING NOTES OR SOMETHING, CAN YOU ALL RIP THE FIRST PAGE OFF? I'LL COLLECT THEM ALL AND START PUTTING THEM ALL TOGETHER AS WE CONTINUE WITH OUR NAMES ON THEM.

NO NO NO NO NO, YOU DON'T NEED YOUR NAME ON IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE A SCHOOL ASSIGNMENT.

MINUS TEN POINTS. IF YOU DON'T SEE YOUR NAME ON THERE, LET ME FINISH, JESSE, LET ME FINISH.

OH, YEAH. NO PROBLEM. MR. SORRY. THAT'S OKAY. I FORGOT THAT WE GOT THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE GOTTEN THROUGH LAST TIME. NOW WE'RE STARTING BRAND NEW. YOU ONLY NEED A MINUTE TO WRAP UP. YEAH, THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW. OKAY, THERE ARE A FEW. IT'S KIND OF HARD. DO YOU WANT TO SAY START NOW? IT'S KIND OF HARD ON SOME OF THESE TO SAY GO FAST OR GO SLOW, BECAUSE SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN SITTING THERE FOR YEARS AND YEARS THAT MAYBE NOW NEED TO GO FAST. BUT THE DEFINITION OF IF IT'S ALREADY A PROJECT OR A PROJECT. HE SAID NOT TO DO. YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF HARD. WE JUST KIND OF WANT THE ONE THING YOU DID SAY NOT TO DO. YEAH, WELL, AT LEAST I WROTE NOTES. YES, I'LL FIGURE IT OUT. OKAY. YOUR NAMES ON YOUR PAPER. RIGHT. WE KNOW I CAN'T RUN. OKAY. SHE DID. SHE'S STILL WORKING. OKAY, LET ME GIVE HIM TO YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. SIR, DO YOU KNOW IT'S BECAUSE JESSE'S DOWN THERE AND AMBER IS SOMEWHERE, SO WHEN THE

[01:15:02]

AND, YOU KNOW, JUST NOT ONE AREA IS NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH BECAUSE IT'S SO FAR AND THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF THAT CONNECTS THEM. LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, IF SOMEONE'S AT AUSTIN REGIONAL CLINIC AND THEY WANT TO COME OVER AND EAT LUNCH FROM ONE LOCATION, RIGHT, THAT'S WHAT WE COULD DO. OKAY, WE COULD DO A CROSSWALK THERE WITH. BEGINS WITH THE WELL, YEAH, MAYBE STOP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO STOP THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. WELL, I THOUGHT WHEN WE, WE WERE PRESENTED BECAUSE I REMEMBER TALKING ABOUT THE SCHOOL AT HAYS COUNTY BEFORE WE REALIZED IT'S NOT IN KYLE. THE HAWK BEAM. BUT IT WASN'T GOOD FOR TRAFFIC THAT GOES MORE THAN 40 MILES AN HOUR, 40 MILES AN HOUR. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT SPEED LIMIT IS OVER THERE, SO WE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO ADJUST THAT TO. YEAH, WE COULD WE COULD LOOK AT ALL THOSE. BUT YEAH, THE STUFF ABOUT CROMWELL AND THE ROUNDABOUT THAT'S RELATIVELY RECENT INFORMATION, JUST THE LAST FEW WEEKS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN THAT FROM OUR TRAFFIC TEAM. SO I DON'T HAVE THE WHAT'S THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE, WHAT IT MEANS TO REALLY LOOK LIKE. BUT WE CAN COME BACK WITH A SOLUTION. MAYBE PEDESTRIANS AND TRAFFIC. YEAH. I WAS JUST GOING TO POINT OUT SO THE PURPLE LINES. SO AS YOU KNOW, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF KOHLER, WE DON'T HAVE ANY SIDEWALKS THERE TODAY. AND SO AS PART OF THIS WE WERE GOING TO UNDERGROUND UTILITIES, PUT UP ILLUMINATION. WE DON'T HAVE ANY STREET LIGHTS AND THEN ALSO BUILD THE SIDEWALKS ALONG THERE.

SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE PEDESTRIANS CROSS HERE. BUT WE CAN ALSO DEFINITELY COME BACK AND LOOK AT IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO TREAT THAT WITH A ROUNDABOUT, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE FOR PEDESTRIAN CROSSING? WE WILL STILL BUILD THOSE SIDEWALKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT STREET LIGHTS WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE THAT'S ALREADY A VERY BRIGHT AREA. AND THAT INTERSECTION AND THEIR BACKS RIGHT UP TO ALL THOSE RESIDENCES. AND I THINK DOING TOO MUCH LIGHTING THERE IS INTERSECTION NOW. BUT OTHER

[01:20:01]

AND I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE ACTUALLY GO THERE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY AFTER MAJOR EVENTS FROM THE PARK CENTER, BUT THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE PULL OUT AND THEY CIRCLE BACK AROUND WHERE BRENNER IS. AND I'M LOOKING IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT A ROUNDABOUT THERE, THE HUNDREDS OF THE CARS THAT COME OUT OF LA VERDE, THE CARS THAT COME OUT OF THE PARK CENTER TRYING TO TURN AROUND TO GO BACK EAST ON ON COLORS. WHAT KIND OF BACKUP WOULD WE HAVE THERE? BECAUSE YOU'LL HIT THE STOPLIGHTS RIGHT UP HERE AT 16, 26, AND ALSO CROMWELL AS WELL, BECAUSE YOU HAVE WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THAT TRAFFIC LEAVING ALL AT ONCE, WHETHER IT'S THE 4TH OF JULY EVENT OR GRINCH FEST, WHATEVER IT IS, THAT AREA, JUST GET THOSE INTERSECTIONS THERE ARE JUST SO TIGHT. HOW DOES THAT NOT QUALIFY FOR A STOPLIGHT? YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THE CARS DO THEY MAKE A RIGHT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T TURN LEFT BECAUSE THEY GOT THOSE MEDIANS THERE. RIGHT. AND SO YOU HAVE TO GO RIGHT. AND YOU HAVE TO GO UP TO THE TOP OF THE HILL. I HAVE TO TURN AROUND RIGHT AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE. EVERYBODY TURNS AROUND TO GO BACK AROUND.

BUT THEN AGAIN, YOU STILL HAVE THE TRAFFIC FLOW COMING UP, GOING 40 MILES AN HOUR, AND THEN. RIGHT. SO IT WOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE YOU COULD YOU GET INTO THIS LANE, STAY IN HERE.

YEAH. BUT HOW DOES THAT STOPLIGHT AFFECT IT. THE THAT THERE'S A STOPLIGHT SHOULD BE A STOPLIGHT RIGHT AT THE END AT 1626. FOR NOW, I GUESS I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TRAFFIC TEAM'S GOING TO RECOMMEND FOR CROMWELL, BUT FREE FLOW THROUGH CROMWELL. AND THEN YOU WOULD HIT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AT 1656. I MEAN, ANYTIME WE DO AN EVENT, I MEAN, HOW MANY WAYS DO YOU ON THE GREEN? ANYTIME YOU DO A MAJOR EVENT, IT'S GOING TO BE KIND OF GRAY. YOU CANNOT SEE WHEN YOU'RE TURNING AROUND. IT WOULD BE WHAT IS THE CONNECTIVITY TO 1626 FROM THAT AREA? BECAUSE IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE A DIFFERENT EGRESS GOING OUT FROM THAT AREA, LIKE GO TO SPROUTS INSTEAD. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ABOUT THE OTHER ROAD, A PART OF THE SPORTSPLEX, RIGHT? YEAH.

OKAY. OKAY. THE VERDE THROUGH THE VERDE SPROUTS UP TO 1626. SO THERE'S A AND IF WE DO THE RICHARDSON ONE UP TO 2077, IT WOULD HELP GIVE YOU THAT. OKAY. OKAY. WELL THE REASON THESE THREE ROUNDABOUTS CONCERN ME IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TWO STOPLIGHTS. RIGHT. AND SO IS THAT GOING TO HOLD UP TRAFFIC AT THESE ROUNDABOUTS WHEN WE HAVE YOU'RE SAYING 1626 AND 2717. YES. YEAH.

AND IT'S ONLY LIKE LESS THAN A MILE. YEAH. WE CAN GO BACK AND WALK YOU THROUGH THAT ANALYSIS AND MAYBE DO SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT BIGGER FOR THE WHOLE DISTRICT. KIND OF SHOW THE OVERALL LIKE PLUM CREEK NORTH INCLUDE SPORTSPLEX AND ALL THESE DIFFERENT AREAS OF LIKE HOW TRAFFIC WOULD MOVE. SO MAYBE WE CAN HAVE A BIGGER DISCUSSION JUST TO SEE THOSE

[01:25:04]

AND SO THERE'S NOT A CONSTANT FLOW. THERE WON'T BE A CONSTANT FLOW HERE, BECAUSE THERE'S THAT STOPLIGHT AT 1626, AND THAT CAN NEVER BE A ROUNDABOUT. I THINK THERE'S ENOUGH SPACE IN BETWEEN.

SO EITHER WAY, IT PROVIDES PEOPLE A SAFER WAY TO GET AROUND VERSUS THEM HAVING TO COME OUT AND THEN MAKE THAT YOUI YEAH, THAT'S THAT, THAT OTHER THING, WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN CONTROL THE LIGHTS. SO THE TRAFFIC IS COMING OUT. WE CAN HAVE OUR TEXT AT EITHER 20.

WE'RE CELEBRATING. YEAH. WELL AND THAT COULD BE DONE WITH TRAFFIC STUDIES I THINK THAT'S A. SO WE CAN HAVE OUR TEXT AT AT 1626 AND 2770 TO KEEP THE TRAFFIC FLOWING FROM COLORS CROSSING ONTO THOSE TWO I THINK. YEAH, I THINK WHAT I'VE GOT CONTROL OF THOSE LIGHTS. RIGHT.

WELL WE'RE DEFINITELY TRYING TO GET CONTROL OF THE ONE AT 2770, BUT WE DON'T HAVE 1626. IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT TO WORK THROUGH THAT. SO I THINK WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT. AND THAT MAY NOT HELP SPECIAL EVENTS. I DON'T REMEMBER IF WE CONTROL THAT OR NOT. WE DO. WE CONTROL WE CONTROL ALL THE LIGHTS WITHIN OUR CITY. NOW WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT. BUT WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS THAT LET'S LET'S LET THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERS COME BACK AND GIVE YOU THE PROFESSIONAL OPINION OF HOW BEST TO MANAGE IT. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, SLANTED FOR ONE SOLUTION OR THE OTHER. IT'S JUST GOING TO BE WHAT'S THE BEST SOLUTION. AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GO IN ALL OF THESE. SO WE CAN GIVE YOU THAT AND THEN YOU CAN SEE IT. IT'S I JUST FIND IT SOMETIMES AS WE ALL START TALKING ABOUT IT, IT'S WE WE KNOW WHAT WE KNOW, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DON'T KNOW. AND SO I WANT NO, NO, NO, ALL OF THOSE PIECES, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LIKE ALL RIGHT. HAVE WE BEEN DRIVING UP ENOUGH WORK? OVER. ON FOR OKAY. IT'S RIGHT PAST. SORRY. SHE'S TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE SHE'S AT.

LIKE SHE. YEAH. WHERE SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE 16, 26. AND I DRIVE THROUGH THERE EVERY DAY. THERE'S A RED LIGHT THERE. YES. I MEAN, IT'S 530 IN THE MORNING, BUT. SO COMING BACK, YOU WOULD KNOW BECAUSE THE WAIT ON 1626 COMING BACK IS 30 MINUTES AT THAT LIGHT. THERE'S A LOT OF ACCIDENTS. YEAH. JUST GET TO WORK. YEAH. THAT RED IS DEFINITELY LESS I MEAN, I DRIVE THROUGH IT EVERY DAY, BUT YES. DOING OPPOSITE TRAFFIC. YEAH. GOTTA GET OUT OF MELISSA. YES.

YEAH. WELL AT 530 THAT'S A DIFFERENT TIME TO. YEAH. RIGHT. IF YOU'RE GOING EARLY IN THE MORNING OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ROUNDABOUT BEAUTIFICATION. SO WE HAVE A BEAUTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR THE ROUNDABOUTS. JUST KEEP GOING. LIKE THEY'RE NOT JUST GRASS OR DIRT. HERE WAS THE THE PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL. EL OR GREEN IS JUST LANDSCAPING. A IS IN PINK IS PUBLIC ART. YOU CAN SEE THOSE IDENTIFIED AND THEN THE BLUE WITH THE S IS THE SIGNAGE. AND SO WE HAVE $1 MILLION ANNUALLY FOR FIVE YEARS ALLOCATED TO THIS PROJECT AND PROCUREMENT FOR THE PUBLIC ART AND SIGNAGE CONTRACTS IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN IN SPRING OF 2020. AND AS WE BUILD THOSE ROUNDABOUTS, WE WILL INCORPORATE THE THE TREATMENT OF THE ESTHETICS INTO THOSE DESIGNS AND HAVE THAT CONSTRUCTED AS PART OF THAT.

WELL, THAT WAS. VERY FUN TO TALK ABOUT. ROSE. RIGHT. OKAY. THE CITY OF KYLE'S FACILITIES MASTER PLAN. WE ARE IN PHASE ONE B OF THIS. WE WANT TO LOOK AT ALL OF OUR FACILITIES AND PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. JUST SOME CLARIFICATION ON ONE A AND ONE B ON. YEAH IT'S TRUE. 11A AND ONE B. YEAH. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE. WHAT WAS ONE A AND ONE A DID A VERY HIGH LEVEL OF CURRENTLY LIKE WHAT WE'VE GOT. IT JUST LOOKED AT CITY HALL AND WE LOOKED AT THE PUBLIC SAFETY

[01:30:01]

AND THEN WHAT WOULD BE THE SIZE THAT YOU WOULD NEED. WE'VE ALSO TALKED ABOUT EXPANDING THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS ITSELF TO HAVE MORE ROOM. WE SAW THAT THE OTHER NIGHT FOR STANDING ROOM ONLY, YOU KNOW, FOR LOTS OF OF COURSE, WE HAVE THIS ROOM KIND OF BLOCKED OFF A LITTLE BIT, BUT WE HAVE SOME BIG MEETINGS SOMETIMES. AND AS THE CITY GROWS, WHAT IS THE CITY OF 100,000? HOW BIG SHOULD YOUR CHAMBER BE? HOW MANY SEATS SHOULD IT BE? HAVING COUNCIL OFFICES, A WORK SESSION ROOM AND ALL CONNECTED INTO THAT. SO YOU COULD SO YOU COULD YOU COULD BUILD THAT NEW, THEN YOU COULD RENOVATE THIS AND THIS WILL BECOME OFFICES. THERE'S A LOT OF FOYER SPACES, A LOT OF WASTED SPACE OUT HERE. IT'S PRETTY, BUT IT'S HOW DO YOU KIND OF RECONFIGURE THAT. AND THE OTHER THING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IS IF YOU KIND OF START LOOKING AT RENOVATING A BUILDING LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW, WAS THAT SOMETIMES YOU'RE BETTER OFF TO JUST START OVER, YOU KNOW, TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AND BUILD A NEW BUILDING. WELL, I THINK MY GOAL IS GOING TO BE TO CONSERVE THIS AND TO RENOVATE AND TO USE THIS AND THE EXPANSION. BUT EVEN IF THAT'S MORE EXPENSIVE, MAYBE SOMETIMES IT'S GOING TO COST MORE TO RENOVATE. YEAH YEAH YEAH. NO NO NO I THINK WE'VE, WE'VE RIGHT. AND WE'VE, I FEEL LIKE WE'VE LOST A LOT OF OUR HISTORY IN THE CITY OF KYLE. WE'VE LOST OUR FIRST CITY HALL.

WE'RE WORKING ON OUR SECOND CITY HALL RENOVATING THAT. AND I DON'T WANT TO REALLY GIVE THIS UP. I FEEL LIKE NOT GIVE IT UP, LIKE, KEEP IT AS IT IS, BUT, LIKE, LET'S HANG ON TO THIS HISTORY THAT WE HAVE EXPAND. WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SPACE OUT THERE AND HOPEFULLY THE PARKING GARAGE, IF THAT GETS BUILT, WE CAN USE THAT AS WELL. BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE WE'VE LOST AND I'VE HEARD FROM THE PEOPLE THAT I'VE SPOKEN, THE FEW PEOPLE I'VE SPOKEN TO, THAT THEY'RE JUST KIND OF OVER TEARING DOWN OUR CITY'S HISTORY. WELL, COULDN'T WE JUST ALSO RENOVATE THIS AND THEN BUILD THE OTHER? YES. YEAH. LIKE THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

LIKE EXPAND AND CONNECT. YES. TEAR DOWN CITY HALL. I'M JUST SAYING YOU WILL LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THIS WHOLE BLOCK AND DECIDE HOW DO YOU WANT TO DO IT, THERE'S OPTIONS, RIGHT? YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I AGREE. THAT'S WHAT THIS WILL INFORM IS SOME OF YOUR DECISION MAKING AROUND THAT WHAT WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE. AND THEN IT WOULD PUT SOME OF THOSE PLANNING INTO OUR CIP. SO WE'VE ACTUALLY BE PLUGGING IN FOR IMPLEMENTATION. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST GOING THROUGH THE PLANNING PHASE. WE'LL BRING SOME OF THOSE DETAILS BACK TO YOU TO GET FEEDBACK ON THAT. AND THEN WE WOULD PROVIDE IT TO OUR THIS IS A MULTI-YEAR PROJECT RIGHT. IF YOU STARTED TODAY AND YOU SAID WE WANT TO BUILD A NEW CITY HALL, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN? THREE YEARS. FOUR YEARS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YEAH, 3 TO 5. NO IT'S NOT WE'RE NOT BUILDING. NO, NO, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. EVEN THAT WAS BUILT LESS THAN THAT. BUT YEAH BUT, BUT IT'S 3 TO 5 YEARS TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHAT SHE WANTED TO GET IT ALL ENGINEERED, PROSPER, GET THE PROCUREMENT DONE, DESIGN IT AND THEN START THE CONSTRUCTION. AND WHERE DO YOU PUT PEOPLE IN THE MEANTIME? YEAH. AND WE'RE GROWING AS YOU CONTINUE TO DO THAT. SO IT'S KIND OF THINKING THROUGH THAT. IT'S LIKE STARTING NOW FIGURING OUT WHAT YOU WANT THAT TO LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU START TRYING TO INFORM THAT DECISION WAS THAT IT WAS PROSPER. I REMEMBER GOING THERE. HEY, STEVE HAS TWO SCHOOLS. SO THIS IS A PRETTY NEW PROJECT THAT WE'VE STARTED. YOU CAN SEE WE DO WALK AUDITS WITH THE SCHOOL LAST YEAR. YOU KNOW, THEY JUST SUDDENLY CLOSED OR STOPPED BUS SERVICE ON US. FOR KIDDOS WHO LIVE IN HOMETOWN KYLE. AND THEY WALK OVER TO KYLE ELEMENTARY. AND SO THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS US TO GET AHEAD OF THAT WITH THE SCHOOL AS A PARTNER, RATHER THAN REACTING TO THE SCHOOLS DECISIONS WE HAVE. THE SCHOOL WALKS WITH US AND WE MAKE SURE WHATEVER ROUTES WE'RE PLANNING ARE THE ROUTES THAT KIDS ARE GOING TO WALK AND THAT WE ARE BUILDING SIDEWALKS AND SAFE ROUTES FOR

[01:35:01]

THEY COULD HAVE. THEY SHOULD HAVE. IT'S A FUNDING DECISION. YEAH. WE JUST WANT TO BE AHEAD OF THAT WITH THE SCHOOL. WE WANT TO BE THE PARTNER WITH THE SCHOOL AND MAKING SURE THAT WE DO. WE DO NOT WANT KINDERGARTNERS KNOW WALKING ACROSS THE HIGHWAY. SO I THINK THAT WAS JUST ALL KIND OF SCARY FOR US. BUT WE'VE GOT A PROGRAM IN PLACE. WE'VE GOT THE SCHOOL IN A LEADERSHIP PARTNERSHIP WITH US. SO. WE ARE GOING TO PRESENT FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF OUR SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PLAN TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND HAYES IN APRIL THIS YEAR. AND SO THEN APRIL, IN APRIL, THE SCHOOL MAKE THEIR DECISION ABOUT BUS ROUTES. SO BASED ON SOME OF THE PLANNING AND THINGS THAT COME OUT OF THESE WALK AUDITS, THERE'S THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT ARE EASY TO DO, GUYS, I MEAN, LIKE STRIPING AND THINGS THAT WE CAN DO. BUT WHEN YOU'RE CROSSING LIKE TXDOT ROADWAYS, IT'S REALLY COMPLICATED. AND THEY HAVE A VERY RIGID PROCESS ABOUT HOW THEY PUT UP OR FLASHING SIGNS OR WHATEVER, AND THEY DO NOT VARY FROM THOSE. THEY HAVE TO HAVE ALL THOSE STUDIES DONE BEFORE. SO SOMEONE MAKES THAT CHANGE, EVEN IF WE THINK IT NEEDS TO BE THERE. IT'S MONTHS BEFORE WE CAN EVEN GET A GO FROM THEM TO DO IT. THEN YOU GOT TO ORDER IT ALL. IT'S A YEAR LONG PROCESS TO PUT SOMETHING ACROSS A VETERAN OR WHATNOT. IT'S COMPLEX AND IT'S EASY TO FORGET THAT ONE VETERANS IS REALLY 150, RIGHT? WHICH IS A HIGHWAY. SO WE'RE ASKING THE KIDDOS TO WALK ACROSS A HIGHWAY. AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION. SO YEAH, NO, NO, I DON'T LIKE THAT EITHER. AND WE DON'T LIKE HOW THAT WAS DONE. AND I THINK THE SCHOOL DISTRICT KNOWS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE BETTER COMMUNICATION TO ON THAT. WE ALL WANT THE SAME THING. AND JUST TO AVOID THOSE SITUATIONS, THEY HAVE SOME REAL BUDGET ISSUES AND THINGS THEY'RE DEALING WITH TO IT'S COMPLEX TO YOU, BUT JUST TO GET AHEAD OF IT, THAT'S THE POINT OF ALL OF THIS BETTER PLANNING, BETTER COORDINATION SO THAT WE HAVE AVOID THOSE PROBLEMS. AND WE WALK IN. YEAH I KNOW. AND THEN AND THEN EVERYBODY'S LIKE WELL JUST PUT IN A PUT IN A SIDEWALK.

WELL YOU KNOW YOU DON'T JUST HAVE THE LAND. AND HOW DO YOU DO THE DRAINAGE AND HOW DO YOU HANDLE ALL THOSE. YOU DON'T JUST GO PUT CONCRETE DOWN. YOU HAVE TO DO SOME THINGS. YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR PUBLIC OUTCRY EITHER WAY. AND WE ALL KNOW THAT WHETHER I USED TO GET A LOT OF CRAZY HATE EMAIL, LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT BUILDING SIDEWALKS, MY KID HAS TO WALK FROM LAYMEN TO BUNTING CREEK ESTATES OR WHATEVER, OR TO SET A RANCH, AND THEY'RE WALKING IN THE DIRT. BUT THEN, OKAY, I PUT SIDEWALKS THERE, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE YOUR BUS SERVICES.

AND, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT THAT TWO MILE RADIUS. AND THAT'S A STATE LAW. THAT'S A STATE THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S YOU GO UP TO THEM. SO WE'VE GOT THAT THAT YOU'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH. YEAH. RIGHT. YEAH. DISTRICT CAN. YEAH. BUT A LOT OF IT IS. RIGHT. BUT AND THERE'S ALSO A STIPULATION THAT SAYS IF IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT THE BUS SYSTEM SHOULD BE FUNDED. SO WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS WALKING ACROSS A HIGHWAY, THAT CONSTITUTES TO ME A DANGEROUS SITUATION. SO I THINK EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO SHIFT THE BLAME. AND I DON'T MEAN US. I MEAN LIKE THE SCHOOL AND THE STATE IN BETWEEN. THEY CAN BE FUNDED, THEY COULD USE TAXPAYER MONEY, AND THE STATE COULD ALSO RECOGNIZE THE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS THAT THEY'RE PUTTING OUR KIDS IN. I ALSO FEEL LIKE BLAMING OUR SIDEWALK MASTER PLAN IS AN EXCUSE. I AGREE, I'M NOT. I'M NOT. I'M JUST TELLING YOU WHAT THEY SAID. YEAH, ALL RIGHT.

GOOD TO HEAR EITHER WAY. THANKS. YEAH. OKAY. KOHLERS CROSSING RAILROAD OVERPASS. THE PACIFIC.

Y'ALL ARE ALL AWARE WITH THIS. THAT'S FUNDED, RIGHT? THEY FUNDED IT. FULLY FUNDED. WE DON'T HAVE 100%, BUT WE DO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THE GRANT ON ALMOST $35 MILLION. SO THIS WOULD CONSTRUCTIVE. SO WE GOT A WE GOT TO GET THE FINAL LETTER. BUT WE'VE GOT AND THAT'S GOING TO GO FROM HEROES TO ACROSS. IT'S GOING TO GO NORTH. SOUTH RIGHT. YEAH. BUT IT ALLOWS LIKE TRAINS LIKE WE SAW YESTERDAY. INSTEAD OF THEM HAVING TO STOP HERE AND BLOCK DOWNTOWN AND THEY COULD BE UNDERNEATH US. SO WE HAVE WE DO HAVE $15 MILLION IN CAMPO MONEY ALREADY. IT'S BEEN TIED UP FOR SEVERAL YEARS. SO RIGHT NOW THE TRAINS DO, IT'S STRANDED AND THEY PARK IN CENTER STREET, AS YOU ALL KNOW, SO OTHER TRAINS CAN GO BY. THIS WOULD MOVE THAT BACK BACK TO KOHLER SO THEY WOULD HAVE AN EXTENDED LENGTH. SO IT'S GREAT FOR UP TO PARK THEIR THEIR TRAINS. BUT IT'S WE CAN'T UNLOCK THOSE DOLLARS UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO BUILD THE BRIDGE

[01:40:01]

YEAH. WE WERE GOING TO PUT UP 30%. AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT LOOKS LIKE WE ONLY HAVE TO PUT UP 20% WITH IT. SO IT'S IT'S GREAT. AND WE GET A TWO FOR ONE. YOU CAN IMPROVE BOTH CROSSINGS.

KOHLER'S IS A CONFLICT POINT TOO RIGHT. THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC THAT COMES THROUGH THERE. SO YOU IMPROVE MOBILITY THERE AND THEN YOU GET THEM OUT OF DOWNTOWN. IT'S I BELIEVE IT'S A WIN WIN PROJECT. AND GUYS I JUST I JUST WANT TO TELL Y'ALL WE STARTED THE LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM TWO YEARS AGO. WE STARTED BUILDING A LOT OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE A PART OF BUILDING THAT AND GUIDING THAT, GOING TO DC AND MEETING WITH OUR REPRESENTATIVES, GOING TO THE STATE LEVEL AND WITH OUR REPRESENTATIVES, MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM U.P. BRINGING THEM DOWN HERE, DOING ALL OF THAT. ALL OF THAT WAS CONNECTED TO NOT JUST THIS, BUT OTHER GRANTS WE PUT IN. AND THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY, I KNOW, BECAUSE OF ALL THE RELATIONSHIPS WE BUILT AND CONTACTED, THAT WE WOULD EVEN BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS WITHOUT THAT PROGRAM. SO IF WE GOT THIS GRANT, THAT LEGISLATION WOULD HAVE I MEAN, THAT'LL BE THAT VALIDATES THE APPROACH. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, 30 SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 35 AND $40 MILLION IN THE LAST TWO YEARS THAT THAT PROGRAM HAS HELPED GUIDE IN HERE. SO I MEAN, IT'S VERY, VERY MUCH WORTH THE TIME AND ENERGY THAT'S GONE INTO.

AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT. I MEAN, YOU SHOULD BE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK. THAT'S DELIVERING VALUE TO THIS COMMUNITY. AND I CAN SAY WE'VE GOTTEN $35 MILLION BY OUR WORK AS A TEAM ON THIS FOR EVERYONE, THE COUNCIL, THE LEGISLATIVE PARTNERS, EVERYONE TO DELIVER THAT HERE. FEDERAL GRANTS ARE HARD TO GET. THEY ARE LIKE, THEY'RE VERY THEY'RE VERY, VERY HARD TO GET. SO I MEAN, THE LETTERS OF SUPPORT WE GOT FROM OUR CONNECTIONS THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM, I MEAN, WE HAD WE HAD FEDERAL SENATORS, WE HAD STATE SENATORS, CONGRESSMEN, EVERY BUSINESS AROUND HERE, UP FROM TO COZAAR EVERYBODY UP WAS THE LIKE BRIAN SAID. WE WERE THE ONLY CITY IN TEXAS THAT HAD AN ACTUAL SUPPORT LETTER FROM U.P. THEY DID NOT GIVE A SUPPORT LETTER ON ANY PROJECT FOR ANYONE ELSE IN TEXAS. AND WE BROUGHT THEM WE BROUGHT THEIR EXECUTIVE TEAM DOWN HERE AND SHUTTLED THEM AROUND THE CITY AND SHOWED THEM ALL THE DIFFERENT POINTS. AND WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, I THINK AMBER SAID, I THINK AMBER SET IT UP AS WE WERE DRIVING UP TO CROSS THE CITY, BUT THINGS CAME DOWN. WAY TO GO WITH EXECUTIVE TIMING IN THE IN THE AREA IT WAS ANYWAY. GOOD TIMING. YEAH, IT'S AN EXEMPLARY PROJECT. I THINK IT'S JUST IT SHOWS HOW WELL THE KYLE CITY COUNCIL WORKS WITH OTHER PARTNERS. WE'VE GOT UNION PACIFIC, HAYS COUNTIES WORKING ON THIS WITH US. TXDOT, YOU KNOW AMTRAK ALSO HERE WE GET 19 TRAINS PER DAY. AND I MEAN, AS YOU ALL KNOW, I TIMES 19 PER DAY. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, OUR PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER IS RIGHT THERE. AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET A HOUSE TOURS TO ANSWER CALLS FOR SERVICES. JUST ONE MORE THING I JUST WANTED TO SAY ABOUT THAT IS WE'RE ALL LIKE, WE'RE ALMOST THERE. WE THINK WE GOT IT, BUT WE WE DON'T THINK, IN MY OPINION, AS, AS A GROUP, WE DON'T THINK ENOUGH ABOUT THESE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES AND HOW THEY CAN HELP THE CITY IS WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING AT FUNDING THINGS ON OUR OWN, WHICH WE HAVE TO DO RIGHT. WE GOT TO BE SELF-SUSTAINING. THERE'S LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES THAT MAY NOT HAVE TALKED ABOUT BETTER REPRESENTATION AT THE CAPITOL JUST DOWN THE ROAD. HOW DO WE HAVE BETTER RELATIONSHIPS TO GET MORE FUNDING AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTNERS HERE? I THINK STRATEGICALLY, WE NEED TO BE LOOKING FOR MORE OF THOSE WAYS TO PARTICIPATE, WHETHER IT'S WE'VE GOT SOME GRANTS IN OUR PARK SYSTEM THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON, GRANT STEEPLECHASE, WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT THINGS COMING IN. WE REALLY WANT TO RAMP THAT UP TO GET EVEN MORE RESOURCES THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO COME THROUGH OUR OWN TAXPAYERS TO FUND. SO I JUST THINK IT'S MEANING, LET'S GO. LET'S ALL GET ON A BUS AND GO TO THE CAPITOL. BUT I THINK YOU GOT TO HAVE A YOU GOTTA HAVE. RIGHT.

BUT WE WE REALLY WANT TO COME BACK TO YOU AT SOME POINT AND TALK ABOUT HOW TO BE MORE STRATEGIC AT THE CAPITOL. IT'S NOT JUST MEETING WITH YOUR LEGISLATIVE DELEGATES. THAT'S A THAT'S GREAT. YOU NEED TO HAVE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS. BUT JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THESE OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTNER AND WHO ARE THE RIGHT FOLKS TO MEET WITH, WHO ARE THE RIGHT AGENCIES, AND HOW DO YOU PUT TOGETHER A COORDINATED EFFORT OVER A 2 OR 3 YEAR PERIOD TO ACTUALLY GET SOMETHING BACK IN RETURN? SO WE JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT TO YOU. I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. WE'RE HOPEFULLY IN A MONTH OR TWO WE'LL BE BACK AND SAY, HERE'S A CHECK, BIG CHECKS. AND I DON'T KNOW, THAT'D BE ALL RIGHT. WE THINK IT'S USEFUL. I'LL PRINT THE BIG CHECK AND BRING IT. THAT SAYS THOSE CHECKS DON'T CATCH. YEAH. HE SAID HE TAKES

[01:45:01]

MISCELLANEOUS. KEEP GOING. OH YEAH OKAY. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU. OKAY. THESE ARE JUST SOME MISCELLANEOUS PROJECTS THAT WE WEREN'T AS HIGH, HIGHLY VISIBLE. THEY'RE ALREADY IN PROCESS.

WE'VE GOT THE DISCUSSION. YEAH. MORE FOR DISCUSSION. THE PROS MASTER PLAN AND SPECIFIC PLANS.

WE'VE GOT, AS YOU KNOW, SEVERAL MASTER PLANS GOING FOR INDIVIDUAL PARKS. OUR DOWNTOWN MUNICIPAL COMPLEX TALKING ABOUT WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT, WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE FOR CITY HALL. WE HAVE A 16 INCH WATER LINE THAT'S CRITICAL TO PRESSURE PLANE TWO, AS WELL AS PRESSURE PLANE THREE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY. IT WILL BUILD OF THAT WATER LINE FROM VETERANS TO 1626. AND WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH PLUM CREEK. SO THAT WILL BE A VERY IT'S ACTIVE NOW. IT'S ACTIVE NOW I CAN HEAR IT. OKAY. WELL YOU'RE PROBABLY HEARING THE WASTEWATER LINE OR THE WASTEWATER. THAT'S THAT'S THE WASTEWATER LINE COMING TO VISIT. WE'VE GOT A WATER LINE. THIS ONE IS A CRITICAL PROJECT. AND SO I IMAGINE WE'LL GET LOTS OF FEEDBACK FROM THE PLUM CREEK RESIDENTS. SO JUST BE READY FOR THAT OBERLIN PUMP STATION. WE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THAT. THAT'S OUR THIRD TAKE POINT FOR CRITICAL FOR US TO GET THAT CONSTRUCTED SO WE CAN HAVE WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THE PLUM CREEK GROUP IS THAT THE CITY HAS MAINTAINED CONTACT WITH THE HOA BOARD. GREAT. AND THEY'RE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. THEY'RE VERY GOOD AT PUTTING OUT ON OUR WEEKLY BULLETINS WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THOSE PROJECTS SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW. I MEAN, THEY KNOW IT HELPS. I MEAN, HAVING THAT THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP ALL DAY, IF YOU'RE WORKING AT HOME, IT'S NOT A GOOD THING, BUT YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE. YOU KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO BE DONE. YOU KNOW WHY AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING. RIGHT. WE WANT TO MAINTAIN THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HOA. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. OKAY. WE ARE GOING TO BE BRINGING TO YOU WATER CONSERVATION PLAN AND DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN. THIS IS A SHOOT OFF FROM OUR WATER MASTER PLAN. IT LOOKS LIKE 2026. I KNOW WE WERE WORKING ON SOME FINAL UPDATES, BUT PROBABLY APRIL I GUESS AT THIS POINT IS WHEN IT WILL BE COMING TO YOU TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT A WATER SECURE PROJECT WITH THE GBRA THEY'RE GOING TO BRING, I DON'T KNOW, IS IT BRACKISH WATER TO US? WE'RE TALKING TO THEM. WE'RE CURRENTLY IN AN MOU WITH THEM, AND WE'RE LOOKING AT 10 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY FOR THAT KIND OF WATER. SO WE'LL WE'LL BE BRINGING BACK MORE DECISION POINTS FOR YOU ON THAT PROJECT. AND THEN THE DESAL PROJECT THAT WE'VE GOT GOING WITH THE NUECES RIVER AUTHORITY AGAIN, ANOTHER TEN MGD. WE SIGNED A RESERVATION AGREEMENT WITH THEM LAST OCTOBER, AND SO WE'D HAVE ANOTHER RESERVATION PAYMENTS NEXT OCTOBER. AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY DESIGNING THAT PROJECT. GOING TO TELL YOU OUR WATER PLAN IS THE ENVY OF HAYS COUNTY. AT LEAST IT'S CONSIDERED TO BE STATE OF THE ART AND INNOVATIVE AND CAN TAKE US THROUGH A LONG, LONG TIME. OKAY, WE'VE GOT THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE REWRITE UNDERWAY THAT'S ALSO A SHOOT OFF FROM OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WE ADOPTED A FEW YEARS BACK. WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING TO YOU ABOUT CHANGES THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO SEE IN THE MANUAL.

AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GOING TO ESTABLISH AN ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL. AND RIGHT NOW WE RELY ON THE CITY OF AUSTIN FOR A LOT OF THE CRITERIA. AND WE WANT TO MAKE IT SO IT'S KYLE SPECIFIC. YEAH I'VE HEARD COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT. BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY FIT WITH WHAT WE NEED HERE. YEAH AUSTIN DOESN'T NECESSARILY FIT KYLE RIGHT. LIKE THEIR POND STUFF YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY. THAT WAS THE EASY WAY JUST TO USE THEIR. YEAH IT'S AN EASY WAY. WE ALSO ARE WORKING ON THE CITY WIDE OUTDOOR WARNING SYSTEM AND THE HISTORICAL ARCHIVES ASSESSMENT AND GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT STUDY. SO YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT POSSIBLY ESTABLISHING A BOARD, AN ARCHIVES BOARD THAT WOULD OVERSEE ALL OF THE CITY OF KYLE, NOT JUST CITY KYLE. COMMUNITIES, HISTORICAL RECORDS AND ARCHIVES. AND THERE'S A SCIENCE TO THAT AND AN ART TO THAT. AND SO MAKING SURE WE HAVE THAT STUDY IN PLACE TO GUIDE HOW WE'RE DOING THAT, YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE ALL THE RECORDS AND JUST SCAN THEM IN. AND HERE THEY ARE.

THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME MORE ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE AROUND THAT. SO REGARDING THE CITYWIDE OUTDOOR WARNING SYSTEM, I'VE ALWAYS HAD CONCERNS WITH OUR OUR LIKE MOBILE HOME

[01:50:04]

WE COULD LOOK AT IT. YEAH. I MEAN, I CAN GIVE YOU SOMETHING BACK ON THAT, BUT THIS IS THE SIREN SYSTEM. I MEAN, IT EVEN BOTHERED ME THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE, LIKE, WARMING CENTERS, RIGHT? LIKE THAT. I, I HATED TELLING PEOPLE, WELL, SAN MARCUS OR GO TO SAN MARCUS, I'M LIKE, IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH THAT. WE CAN WE CAN WORK ON THAT. OKAY. THE ROBOT PROGRAM, Y'ALL ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROGRAM. I DON'T KNOW HOW IN DETAIL YOU WANT ME TO GO OVER IT, BUT HERE ARE DIFFERENT PROJECTS. WE'VE GOT NEW CONSTRUCTION AND RECONSTRUCTION. 2026 IS THE YEAR OF CONSTRUCTION. MARKETPLACE EXPANSION OPEN? DONE. COLOR SYSTEM UNDER CONSTRUCTION. YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE ABOUT. IS EVERYBODY BEEN OVER THERE RECENTLY? YES I MEAN IT'S THAT'S OVER BY CRUNCH RIGHT. YEAH. IT'S RIGHT OVER HERE. JUST WHAT'S CONNECTING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO SETON HOSPITAL. UP THROUGH THE NEW DEVELOPMENT. YES. THE GROUNDBREAKING. YES. BUT YOU CAN REALLY SEE THAT SOUTHERN TRACK GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO. IT'S IMPRESSIVE. YOU SEE IT? YOU HAVEN'T DRIVEN OVER THERE IN A WHILE. I THINK IT'S. YEAH. LAST I KNEW, THEY WERE ABOUT TO PUNCH TO THE FRONTAGE ROAD. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE YET OR NOT, BUT THEY'RE MAKING INCREDIBLE PROGRESS. COLORS TO SIGN ON SYSTEM. THIS WOULD BE THE UNDERPASS. IT'S IN EARLY DESIGN RIGHT NOW. WE'RE WORKING ON A PROJECT. CONSTRUCTION WOULD BEGIN FALL OF 2027. THEY'RE THAT'S ANOTHER BIG STATE SAFETY ISSUE. WE GOT OFFICERS LEAVING THE PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER TO HAVE THAT QUICKER ACCESS TO THE EAST SIDE. WELL, I THINK TO DO YOU MIND GOING BACK TO THE OVERALL MAP OF THE OVERALL ROAD SYSTEM? I THINK THAT'S CRITICAL. IF YOU IF YOU LOOK AT HOW WE HAVE A LOT OF THIS WORK IS BEING DONE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE CITY, RIGHT? YOU CAN SEE ALL THE ROADS GETTING OVER TO THE WEST. THAT'S A MAJOR POINT RIGHT THERE, THAT THAT LITTLE STRETCH, THAT LITTLE BLUE PIECE THAT CONNECTS ALL THESE OTHER THINGS. SO I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT. IT'S A CHOKE POINT. YOU KNOW NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OVER THERE. WINDY HILL IS GOING TO OPEN UP SOME THINGS TOO. BUT IT'S BUT HAVING KYLE PARKWAY AND LAYMAN AND BUNTON BUTTON IS GOING TO BE I THINK BUTTON'S ALREADY OUT FOR BID OR OUT FOR BID IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

AND HAVING ALL THOSE BE ABLE TO CONNECT BACK IS I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY COOL AND THAT'S DONE. ABBEY ROAD WEST UNDER CONSTRUCTION DELIVERY SPRING 2027 AND THEN ROAD EAST.

CONSTRUCTION IN THE BEGINNING OF 2027. WINDY HILL. IT'S OUT FOR BID, RIGHT? NO CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN AWARDED. IT'S BEEN AWARDED. THIS WAS THESE SLIDES WERE DONE BEFOREHAND. BUT THESE ARE OLD. THAT PROJECT'S BEEN AWARDED. WE STILL HAVE TO MEET WITH MR. PHILLIPS TO LOOK AT THAT TURN LANE. I THINK THAT'S AN ITEM WE OWE COMING BACK TO YOU ON THAT. OTHER THAN THAT, LET'S GO. ALL STAGECOACH ROAD NORTH DIRECTION COUNCIL TO KEEP MOVING ON THAT. OLD STAGECOACH ROAD AND SPRING OF 2026. WE'RE GOING TO START CONSTRUCTION THERE. CENTER STREET WEST SEGMENT BID CLOSES NEXT WEEK. ALL THE EASY ONES ARE DONE. ALL READY. SET ON SYSTEM. FALL OF 2020. START CONSTRUCTION ON THAT GUY. BUTTON CREEK ROAD. FINAL DESIGN. KYLE PARKWAY TO LAYMAN. CRITICAL CONNECTION THERE. CONSTRUCTION BEGINS SPRING OF 2026. WE DO HAVE THAT ROUNDABOUT AT LAYMAN AND BUTTON THAT WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT, ABOUT HOW THAT INTERACTS WITH WAS ONE OF THE TAKEAWAYS. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE. OKAY. ANY

[01:55:05]

YEAH I MEAN I YOU KNOW, MY CONCERNS ARE STILL WITH THE EMINENT DOMAIN AND LIKE HOW WE'RE PROCEEDING AND BEING THOUGHTFUL ALONG THE WAY. AND, I MEAN, I'M GOING TO BE ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO THE WAY IT'S IT'S DONE OVER ON STAGECOACH. AND YOU GUYS HAVE A JOB TO DO. I HAVE A JOB TO DO. I ADVOCATED BEFORE, AND SO, YOU KNOW, I JUST I DON'T WHEN WE MOVE FORWARD LIKE THAT, I DON'T WANT IT TO BE LIKE WE'RE AT ODDS, BUT IT'S JUST WE'RE DOING TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, RIGHT. AND SO WE UNDERSTAND WE'RE JUST TAKING THIS COUNCIL DIRECTION.

I GUESS I'M CURIOUS WHAT WOULD BE LIKE THE OTHER PROPOSED SOLUTION, BECAUSE THIS IS LIKE HOW WE GET THE ROADS DONE. SO IT'S LIKE IF WE WANT THE ROADS DONE AND WE DON'T WANT TO DO THE EMINENT DOMAIN WITH THE APPROACH THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IT, WHAT WOULD BE THE ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION THAT YOU HAVE FOR THAT AREA RIGHT THERE? WOULD MY MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO MOVE THE ROAD TO THE OTHER SIDE INSTEAD OF MOVING IT TO THE OTHER SIDE, AND THEN MAYBE MAKING UP THAT COST, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO COST MORE, BECAUSE IT'S DEVELOPER LAND.

BUT RETHINKING THE ROUNDABOUT THAT'S UP FRONT AND TAKING THAT MONEY AND REALLOCATING IT TO THE WIDENING OF THAT ROAD TO, I WOULD SAY TO THE LEFT, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT. OR ALSO PREVIOUS MAYOR LUCY JOHNSON ALSO PROVIDED US ANOTHER SCHEMATIC OR, YOU KNOW, JUST SOMETHING VERY GENERIC. SO JUST THINKING MORE OUTSIDE THE BOX AND, AND I RESPECT AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK. I DO. AND YOU GUYS HAD DIRECTION FROM ANOTHER COUNCIL TO DO, TO DO IT A DIFFERENT WAY. BUT I FEEL VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS AND THE WAY WE IMPACT PEOPLE'S LIVES MATTERS TO ME AND IT MATTERS TO EVERYBODY. I DON'T WANT TO I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT WE DON'T CARE, BUT I'M JUST SAYING I'M WILLING TO PAY AND TO READJUST, TO HAVE LESS IMPACT ON OUR RESIDENTS LIVES. AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE IT'S THE FRANKIE'S IF IT WAS LAURA LEE'S HOUSE, IF IT WAS MARK'S HOUSE, IF IT WAS ANY OF OUR HOUSES, I WOULD ADVOCATE JUST THE SAME. IT'S NOT FOR ONE PARTICULAR PERSON. IT'S FOR THE OVERALL THOUGHT ABOUT HOW WE'RE IMPACTING OUR OUR RESIDENTS LIVES. WELL, WHAT ABOUT FOR LIKE, THE OTHER PROJECTS? BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S BEEN I THINK MULTIPLE ONES THAT YOU'VE VOTED AGAINST. AND SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS HOW TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. SO THE REASON WHY ALLOWS US TO STILL COMPLETE THESE ROADS, BUT THAT ALSO HELPS, YOU KNOW, WITH THE STUFF THAT YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT. SO I HAVE NOT VOTED NO FOR ALL EMINENT DOMAIN. THERE WAS A COUPLE TIMES THAT THAT WE WERE AT AN IMPASSE THAT AND OR THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL REASON WHY WE HAD TO DO IT FOR DEEDING REASONS, BUT I DON'T LIKE TO ALLOW THE COUNCIL OR THE CITY TO USE EMINENT DOMAIN UNLESS WE'VE MET THE IMPASSE. SO IF THEY'RE STILL IN NEGOTIATIONS, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE SAYING YES. NOW, WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW YOU THE OPTION TO USE EMINENT DOMAIN, BECAUSE THE IMPASSE ISN'T THERE YET. AND I DON'T THINK ANY MUNICIPALITY SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE EMINENT DOMAIN AS A TOOL IN THEIR BACK POCKET DURING NEGOTIATIONS. SO I WOULD JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE CITY DIDN'T REALLY USE EMINENT DOMAIN UNTIL VERY RECENTLY. YOU ONLY HAVE ONE CASE TO WHERE THEY USE EMINENT DOMAIN. AND TO THAT POINT, MAYOR, THE REASON WHY MANY OF THE PROJECTS LANGUISHED. SO LIKE THE SOUTH SIDE WASTEWATER LINE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AND WE'VE DISCUSSED, THAT'S WHY IT TOOK YEARS, BECAUSE THE CITY DID NOT USE EMINENT DOMAIN, AND THEY WERE TRYING TO BARGAIN WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS. AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, MANY OF THE MUCH OF THE DISCUSSION JUST COMES AROUND. EITHER THE PROJECT IS UNWANTED OR IT COMES DOWN TO THE PRICE. RIGHT. AND SO EMINENT DOMAIN IS JUST A TOOL TO MAKE SURE THE PROJECTS STAY ON TIME AND IN BUDGET. AND BRIAN ALWAYS USES AS WE WE IT COSTS US HALF PERCENT TO A PERCENT OF THE ROAD BOND PROJECT NUMBER PER DAY THAT WE DON'T MOVE THE PROJECT FORWARD. AND SO WE WE WILL CONTINUE TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE LANDOWNERS RIGHT UP UNTIL THE DAY OF THE HEARING. BUT IT'S JUST A WAY TO CONTINUE TO MOVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS FORWARD. AND THE PCNS ARE DIFFERENT. CORRECT, CORRECT. IT DOESN'T MEAN WE GO TO EMINENT DOMAIN. IT DOESN'T MEAN WE FILE A LAWSUIT. IT JUST GIVES THE AUTHORITY TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT. MANY TIMES IT SIGNALS TO THE PROPERTY OWNER THAT WE'RE WE'RE SERIOUS AND WE'RE READY TO KEEP. WELL, FOR EXAMPLE, THE DAISY LAND TRACK, THEY THOUGHT WE WERE STILL IN NEGOTIATIONS. SO HAVING A MEETING OF THE MINDS AND UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE'RE AT DURING THAT TIME, THAT'S WHY I WASN'T COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT EMINENT DOMAIN, BECAUSE THEY WERE AT A DIFFERENT FRAME OF MIND THAN WE WERE. AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE BEFORE WE GIVE AUTHORITY AS A COUNCIL, THAT'S OUR JOB, TO GIVE AUTHORITY TO ALLOW THEM TO DO THAT, THAT WE'RE ALL IN THE SAME PLACE. THERE IS A TRUE IMPASSE. I THINK MAYBE SOME OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH LIKE MISUNDERSTANDINGS OR JUST MISCOMMUNICATION. MAYBE NOT SO MUCH MISCOMMUNICATION. SOME OF THESE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE

[02:00:05]

[02:05:05]

LET'S TAKE. YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. SEE? LET'S DO. SORRY. LET'S DO. WE'LL BE BACK AT 25 AFTER. OKAY. RIGHT. D REBUILT ALL THIS? IT'S. IT IS NOT EASY TO GO THROUGH THESE THINGS AND BUILD. YOU GUYS DID REALLY GOOD WORK YESTERDAY. AND I THINK YOU GUYS WILL LIKE THE STATEMENTS. IT INCORPORATES EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS THREW IN, BUT STILL HOLDS TO THE BASIC FOUNDATION OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN WE'RE DOING. SO HERE'S A NEW VISION STATEMENT.

AND THEN JUST AS A SO Y'ALL CAN BE ABLE TO THEN JUST AS A REMINDER HERE'S YOUR FOCUS BUCKETS THAT COUNCIL COUNCILMAN PRO TEM TOBIAS CLEVERLY AS WE'RE TRYING TO RECRAFT AND SAID HEY, WHY DON'T WE JUST PUT THE FIRST TWO IN FRONT OF IT? SO THAT'S WHAT WE DID. AND THEN WE'LL LOOK AT ALL THE STATEMENTS. SO HERE IS THE NEW ECONOMY'S GONE. THRIVING AND PROSPEROUS RIGHT? KYLE IS SHAPING ITS FUTURE AS A THRIVING ECONOMIC COMMUNITY. A FUTURE FOCUSED, BUSINESS FRIENDLY DESTINATION WHERE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, REGIONAL COLLABORATION AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES DRIVE SUSTAINABLE PROSPERITY AND SUPPORT A VIBRANT PLACE TO LIVE, WORK, PLAY AND STAY. MY WORDS WILL LIKE IT. DO WE LIKE IT? YEAH, IT SOUNDS LIKE. WE LIKE IT. YEAH, WE'RE WE CAN WE CAN TWEAK. WE CAN TWEAK. IF WE MISS SOMETHING, IF WE DON'T, IF WE DON'T LIKE SOMETHING, CAN WE SAY BUSINESS AND WORKER FRIENDLY? ABSOLUTELY. LET ME GET SOMETHING TO WRITE NOTES ON THIS, THIS OR THIS. THERE'S ACTUALLY YEAH THAT'LL BE PERFECT. THANK YOU. IT SAYS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BUT IT DOESN'T. SO. SORRY. CLAUDIA. WHAT WHAT WHERE WAS IT THAT YOU WERE SAYING? FIRST LINE AND WORKER FRIENDLY. BUSINESS AND WORKER FRIENDLY. YEAH. THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO DO THAT. YEAH.

ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT ONE? THIS IS WE'RE I'M SHOWING YOU THESE FOR THAT TYPE OF INPUT. IF WE MISSED ANYTHING, IF WE NEED TO TWEAK ANYTHING BECAUSE THIS WILL ALL BE UPDATED ON THE WEBSITE AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE BUDGET. OKAY. SO SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT KYLE PRIORITIZES SUSTAINABLE, RESILIENT AND JUST INFRASTRUCTURE BY INVESTING IN HIGH QUALITY, WELL-MAINTAINED STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND DRAINAGE SYSTEMS THROUGH STRATEGIC AND RESPONSIBLE GROWTH MANAGEMENT

[02:10:04]

COMMUNITY INITIATIVES, INCLUSIVE PUBLIC SPACES AND THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED NEIGHBORHOODS REFLECT A COMMITMENT TO EQUITY, EXCELLENCE AND INTENTIONAL PLANNING. CREATING ACCESS, CONNECTION AND A SENSE OF BELONGING FOR ALL. I LIKE THE IDEA OF JUST. I DON'T KNOW IF I LIKE THE VERBIAGE. IS THERE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD, LIKE, WORK IT IN THERE IN A DIFFERENT WAY? YEAH, LIKE OR JUST THE WORD ITSELF. JUST TAKE THE WORD OUT. LIKE, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO TAKE IT OUT BECAUSE I THINK CLAUDIA WANTED IT. YEAH.

THAT WAS LIKE, I, I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF JUST LIKE USING THESE WORDS THAT DON'T REALLY DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WANT. RIGHT? WE WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GONNABE HERE AND BE TREATED JUST. BUT LIKE WHAT? WHAT DOES THAT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE. LIKE THEY CAN COME HERE AND I WOULD POSE THAT QUESTION TO COUNCIL MEMBER ZAPATA. I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE THE WORD JUST ENCAPSULATES THAT. I THINK IT'S KNOWING THAT REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY ARE, WHERE THEY'RE FROM, WHAT THEIR BACKGROUND IS, THAT WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO TREAT THEM WITH THE SAME RESPECT CONSISTENTLY, YOU KNOW, APPLIED TO EVERYBODY EQUALLY. THAT'S WHAT REALLY TO ME, JUST I THINK, LIKE I SAID, IT ENCAPSULATES A LOT OF THAT.

AND LIKE IN A WAY, BECAUSE WHEN YOU USE THE TERM JUST, IT'S ALSO YOU HAVE MORE OF A FRAMEWORK THAT IS MORE BOUND TO LIKE YOUR THE ORDINANCES THAT YOU HAVE TO THE LAWS THAT YOU HAVE. AND SO I WANT US TO BE ABLE TO SAY, JUST SO THAT WAY WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT APPLIES TO THE FRAMEWORK, LIKE A REAL CONSEQUENCES THAT OUR LAWS AND ORDINANCES AND STUFF HAVE ON PEOPLE. VERSUS IT JUST BEING SOMETHING THAT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, WELL, WE JUST WANT YOU TO FEEL WELCOMED. IT'S LIKE, WELL, NO, THIS HAS LIKE AN ACTUAL FRAMEWORK THAT APPLIES TO IT.

WELL, YEAH, I'M TRYING TO LOOK LIKE DEFINITIVELY. SO IF I WAS, IF I WAS SOMEONE, I'D BE LIKE, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AND GOING AND I'M ASSUMING JUST IS SHORT FOR JUSTIFICATION OR JUSTIFIED OR IT'S JUSTICE. JUSTICE. OKAY. SO SO INSTEAD OF USING JUST I'M SORRY, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN PEOPLE READ THIS, THEY'RE GOING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS. GIVING I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW. THE JUST ONE OF THE ADJECTIVES WE USE IS SUBJECTIVE. YEAH, IT'S ALL UP TO INDIVIDUAL. I GUESS THE QUESTION I WOULD ASK IS, ARE WE OKAY WITH THE WORD, THEIR UNDERSTANDING, THE MEANING BASED ON WHAT COUNCILMEMBER ZAPATA SAID? OR WOULD WE LIKE TO WORK IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY FOR THE GROUP? BECAUSE WE COULD DO EITHER. I'M FINE WITH THAT.

AS. WELL. HOW IS IT SAFE? JUST IN WELCOMING CITY FOR RESIDENTS SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER. SO GOING BACK TO EMBRACE AND EMBRACE DIVERSITY, WOULDN'T DIVERSITY BE PART OF THE JUST AND SAME THING THERE WHERE SENSE OF BELONGING FOR ALL BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOU KNOW LOOKING AT IT FROM. I KNOW WE MAY HAVE OUR OWN PHRASES AS FAR AS WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS AS INCLUSION JUSTICE FOR SPECIFIC PEOPLE OR FOR EVERYBODY. BUT IT'S A MATTER OF LIKE THE VISION ITSELF IS A SAFE AND WELCOMING CITY, SUPPORTS ONE ANOTHER AND EMBRACES DIVERSITY. WOULD THAT BE, I THINK FOR ME IT'S LIKE, I GUESS I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE CONCERN IS WITH THE WORD JUST I DON'T THINK IT'S A CONCERN. IT'S JUST IT'S JUST IT'S UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT IS.

[02:15:03]

I THINK THAT'S I MEAN, JUST TO BE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS LIKE, JUST THAT'S FINE. I DON'T THINK EVERYBODY'S GOING TO QUITE UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS. THEY'LL BE LIKE, JUST WHAT? LIKE JUST, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE THINKING IT DOESN'T MEAN. IT DOESN'T MEAN JUST TO THEM.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? I DON'T I DON'T UNDERSTAND, LIKE, LET'S USE JUST IN A SENTENCE LIKE THAT WASN'T JUST THAT WAS A SAFE, JUST AND WELCOMING CITY. WE JUST JUST, YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK, OH, WHAT DID THEY FORGET THE REST OF THE SENTENCE, RIGHT. JUST WHAT I MEAN. IT'S IT'S UNDER I DON'T KNOW, I FEEL LIKE IT'S I FEEL LIKE IT'S OBVIOUS. DO YOU GET IT? IS IT IS TO YOU, CLAUDIA, BECAUSE YOU HAVE A WHOLE DIFFERENT BACKGROUND IN THAT FIELD. YEAH. AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND THIS TABLE JUST ADD SOMETHING TO IT VERSUS REMOVING THE WORD, JUST LIKE KEEPING THE WORD JUST, BUT ADDING SOME LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT EXPLAINS WHAT THE JUST IS INSTEAD OF REMOVING JUST. WELL, AS RICK GOES THROUGH THE NEXT PORTION OF THIS, I CAN TAKE A STAB AT JUST KIND OF REWORDING IT IF THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT'S WHAT WE WANTED TO DO.

LIKE IF IF WE'RE GOING TO DEFINE JUST, YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST PUT THE DEFINITION IN THERE. RIGHT. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU TALK WE TALKED ABOUT EASY. YOU TALK ABOUT MAKING THINGS EASIER TO UNDERSTAND YESTERDAY. THAT TO ME IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF ARE PEOPLE GOING TO UNDERSTAND THAT. CAN WE MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE MEAN BY JUST BECAUSE? I THINK A LOT OF IT LIKE WELCOMING AND I THINK. EQUITY, EQUITY. THAT'S RIGHT. EQUITY, EQUITY TO ME, I FEEL LIKE THAT'S ALREADY EXPLAINED. IS THERE SYNONYMS? RIGHT. YOU COULD USE JUST A YOU COULD USE EQUITY. AND WE ALREADY HAVE EQUITY IN THERE.

SO BUT JUSTICE EQUITY ARE DIFFERENT. YOU COULD REALLY TAKE OFF AUSTIN AND JUST PUT WE EMBRACE DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION. SORRY. YEAH YEAH. LET ME TAKE A STAB AT AT REPHRASING IT I, I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN BY JUST BUT LET ME TAKE A STAB AT PHRASING IT AND WE'LL COME BACK TO IT AFTERWARDS. THAT'S GOOD FEEDBACK. AND THEN FINALLY FUN AND VIBRANT WE MAKE WE MOVED FUN TO THE FRONT. YES. FUN AND VIBRANT. FUN. VIBRANT. REMOVING IT FROM THE TOP TWO OF THE WELL. BUT THOSE ARE THIS IS THIS IS YOUR OLD, THIS IS YOUR NEW.

THIS IS YOUR OLD. THIS IS YOUR NEW. YEAH. KYLE IS A DYNAMIC COMMUNITY WHERE CULTURE, ENTERTAINMENT AND CREATIVE EVENTS THRIVE WITH DIVERSE EVENTS, WELCOMING PUBLIC SPACES AND GROWING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES. THE CITY ATTRACTS VISITORS, PROMOTES LOCAL TALENT AND ENHANCES QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES. WE HAVE THE EASTER EGG HUNTS. IS IT FUN TO GO TO THE GRINCH FEST? IS IT FUN? YEAH, AND GO TO TEXT MESSAGE. DO WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN? YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? YOU KNOW, SO IT'S THOSE KIND OF WHEN WE ATTEND OUR FIREWORKS DISPLAYS AND WE HAVE THE BANDS PLAYING, ARE WE IN A BAD MOOD OR ARE WE JUST NOT HAVING FUN? WE'RE HAVING FUN. FAMILY. GOOD. WE LIKE THIS ONE. ALL RIGHT.

LET ME LET ME TAKE A STAB AT TWEAKING THOSE AND I'LL CHANGE THAT OTHER ONE AND THEN HAND IT BACK OVER TO YOU, RICK, TO DO THE APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO. JESSE CALCULATED AND TABULATED. YOUR SHEETS. AND I REORGANIZED THEM BASED ON THE TOTAL. SO WHAT WE DID IS TOOK A YEAR'S SCORE FROM 1 TO 10. HOW IMPORTANT IS EACH OF THESE INITIATIVES IN ORDER FOR YOU TO ACHIEVE YOUR VISION? AND YOU BLOW THIS UP A LITTLE BIT, IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF AN EYE CHART.

SO THERE'S SEVEN OF YOU. AND IF EVERYBODY GAVE IT A TEN, THE HIGHEST SCORE YOU COULD GET WOULD BE 70. THERE YOU GO. THAT'S BETTER. OH. OH, PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL DO A LITTLE SCROLLING. BUT THIS THIS WILL GIVE YOU A VIEW. SO YOU HAD TWO THAT WERE TIED FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT OR THE IMPACT ON THE VISION SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PROGRAM 70 IS YOUR HIGHEST.

YEAH. THE HIGHEST WOULD BE 70. THE LOWEST WOULD BE SEVEN. UNLESS EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE ZERO OKAY. SO WE START WITH AN EASY ONE. NOW THE RULE IS THERE'S. TYPICALLY WHAT WE DO IS CHECK MARKS IN THIS BOX. AND THIS BOX CAN'T COEXIST. SO WHAT WE TYPICALLY DO IS IF YOU HAVE

[02:20:05]

IS THAT RIGHT? RIGHT. BETTER GET MOVING BECAUSE IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET UP TO THAT TREATMENT. OKAY. VERY GOOD. THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT SAID START NOW AND GO FAST. DOES ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO CHIME IN? JUST HAVING EXCREMENT PILE UP? YEAH, THAT DOESN'T SOUND PLEASANT.

OKAY. I DON'T KNOW WHO SAID DON'T START, BUT IF YOU WANTED TO EXPLAIN YOUR POINT OF VIEW.

WAS IT ME? IS IT? DO I HAVE TO GRAB THE PAPERS? OH, GOD. THE PAPERS? YEAH. WE DIDN'T GET NAMES ON EVERYONE. YEAH, THERE WEREN'T NAMES, BUT, I MEAN, WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT PRETTY QUICKLY. IT WAS. WELL, I THINK IT'S ALSO INTERESTING, THE SCORE, LIKE THE IMPACT ON THE.

MAYBE I GOT 67. MAYBE YOU PUT IT IN WRONG. JESSE. ALMOST EVERYBODY. MAYBE. JESSE. IT MAY BE ME. I MAY HAVE PUT IT IN WRONG, BUT I DOUBT YOU'RE TRYING TO THROW SOMEONE UNDER THE. BUT DID HE JUST TRY TO GET SOMEBODY TO SAY IT? BETTER WAIT TILL. BUT IT IS INTERESTING THAT THAT THE LOWEST SCORE. IF SOMEBODY DID PUT A CHECK MARK HERE, THE LOWEST SCORE THEY COULD HAVE GIVEN, THIS IS A SEVEN AND THAT WOULDN'T HAVE MATCHED UP WITH THESE NUMBERS.

RIGHT. SO BASED ON THAT, I THINK THAT WAS A OPERATOR ERROR OKAY. OH WELL THAT'LL BE GREAT.

WELL THERE'S ONE THERE WAS A SORRY. DOES ANYBODY WANT TO START LATER. IT WAS A START LATER. NOT A NOT A DON'T START OKAY OKAY. WELL THAT'S OKAY. VERY GOOD. WHO THIS IS. WE DODGED A BULLET. I THE ALLIANCE WATER START LATER. WE WE OFTEN CALL THAT A CAGE MATCH IS WHEN PEOPLE DO MATCH. EXPLAIN THEIR POINTS OF VIEW. ALLIANCE WATER PHASE ONE C1, D 64 AND START NOW. GO FAST, START NOW. GO SLOW. DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IS THE NEXT MOST IMPORTANT ONE THAT GOT A 62. AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY. YOU GOT A 61 OOPS KOHLERS CROSSING. RAILROAD OVERPASS.

THEY JUST THEY DIDN'T VOTE. YEAH. THEY DIDN'T VOTE. YEAH. OH YEAH. IF YOU SEE IT'S ON THERE IT'S JUST IT'S ON TO THE RIGHT. THERE YOU GO. YEAH. GOTCHA. THAT MEANS IT WAS LEFT BLANK I THINK THAT WAS ME THAT LEFT IT BLANK. THERE WERE A BUNCH THAT WERE LEFT BLANK. IT WASN'T JUST YOU. THERE WERE A LOT THAT WERE LEFT. IT'S HARD TO DECIDE. YEAH, BECAUSE IT'S PRIORITIES CHANGE SOMETIMES. RIGHT? OKAY. WE GOT SOME INTERESTING ONES COMING UP. TPW AND WATER UTILITIES, 49 LAKE PARK DISTRICT HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTER. YOU CAN SEE THE RICHNESS OF GUIDANCE THAT YOU'RE GIVING STAFF. THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. IS THIS HELPFUL FOR YOU ALL TO I THINK IT'S MORE LIKE ALIGNED MORE, YOU KNOW, THAN I THINK YOU KNOW, THAN YOU THOUGHT. RIGHT. ACTUALLY MOVING ON. SO THAT WAS 43 THE SPORTSPLEX 42. PHASE ONE, PHASE ONE, PHASE ONE, PHASE ONE CROMWELL RECLAIMED WATER LINE. NOW THIS IS INTERESTING IMPACT

[02:25:02]

LIKE YOU SHOULD STAND ON WHAT YOU. RIGHT. THIS IS HOW I AM. AND DON'T GET ME WRONG, I FELT LIKE WAS THAT ME THAT SAID NO? I WAS PRETTY SURE IT WASN'T. BUT WE'VE GOTTA UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE SAYING YES TO AND NO TO. WHEN I SEE SOMEBODY YOU GOT LIKE AN EIGHT. LIKE, IS THIS REALLY AN EIGHT FOR YOU? IS THIS A PRIORITY? LIKE, WE'VE GOTTA UNDERSTAND SO WE CAN LET OUR STAFF KNOW HOW WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. WELL, THIS WAS PRETTY GOOD. I MEAN, I MEAN, I CAN START AS A MATTER OF, YOU KNOW, ARE WE GOOD? AND I THINK BUDGET IS GOING TO DETERMINE SOME OF THIS WHEN WE TALK WHEN WE'RE IN BUDGET SESSION. SO BASED ON THAT I'M GOING TO CONSIDER THIS MOVING OVER JUST TO START NOW KIND OF GO SLOW. ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ONE HEROES MEMORIAL PARK RESTAURANT PAD SITE IMPACT ON THE VISIONS 41. ALL GOOD CREW ACTIVITY CENTER REIMAGINING 37. NOW I WANT TO DO SAY LIKE THAT GROUP CENTER ACTIVITIES THERE.

THIS IS INTERESTING. 32 THREE SAID START NOW. GO FAST. THREE SAID DON'T START. SO SOMEBODY THAT SAID DON'T START. WHAT WHAT'S THE YOUR REASONING OR YOUR YOUR PERSPECTIVE IS THAT YOU. ANYBODY ELSE. YEAH. COME ON GUYS. TWO OTHER PEOPLE THINK IT WAS NOT THE START NOW GO SLOW THING. I THINK IT WAS JUST AGAIN GETTING THE INFORMATION BECAUSE IT'S JUST THE HESITANCY OF, OF THAT AREA BEING JUST DRIVING THAT YOU KNOW WE HAVE REALLY, REALLY ACCURATE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS FOR, FOR JUST THOSE AREAS FUNDING AS WELL. IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE TO COME DOWN TO THE FUNDING ON THAT, BECAUSE IF WE'RE OVER, WHAT IS IT, 13 MILLION OR FROM THE ORIGINAL? I KNOW WE HAVE THAT FROM OUR ORIGINAL BOND DOLLARS WERE WELL, THIS IS NOT BOND, RIGHT? NO, THIS IS BOND. BOND. RIGHT. BUT IT'S NOT BOND I THINK THAT'S I JUST IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW. SOMEBODY THAT SAID DON'T START. WHAT'S YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON THIS. WHERE WANTS TO WEIGH IN. WE HAVE ENOUGH DUPLICATION I THINK WE NEED MORE INFORMATION. I THINK WE WERE WE WERE TALKING AS WE WERE WALKING AROUND AND BEING LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GETTING THIS FEEDBACK FROM LIKE TEXTILE. AND THEY'RE LIKE, REALLY? WE'RE NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT. RIGHT. AND SO DID WE ALREADY BUY THE EASEMENTS? HOW

[02:30:04]

AND SO. FOR ME, IT'S ALL ABOUT INFORMATION MAKING. SO, SO FOR THE ROUNDABOUTS AND WE'RE TALKING STILL TALKING ABOUT SANDERS, BENNER AND CROMWELL, RIGHT? YES. SANDERS AND BENNER.

WE TOOK CRANWELL OUT. RIGHT. BUT BUT OKAY. SO FOR THAT CORRIDOR IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND. YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION TRAFFIC. IS THIS THE BEST SOLUTION. YOU JUST WANT TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION. HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO I THINK YOU SAID GO SLOW.

AND IT WAS FOR THAT VERY REASON. YEAH. I WANTED TO SEE IT. RIGHT. OKAY. I'M GETTING NEW INFORMATION TODAY. YEAH. AND SO AS WE GET MORE INFORMATION, IS THIS GOING TO CHANGE. YOU KNOW WHAT OUR OVERALL PLAN IS FOR FOR GETTING TRAFFIC IN AND AROUND THAT AREA OKAY. SO I MEAN I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN DEFINITELY COME BACK. NEEDS TO BE SOME SOMETHING SOMETHING WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE'S WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S RIGHT. WHAT WHAT DIRECTION WE NEED. OKAY. WELL AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, WITH RAVALLI ON OUR STAFF, SHE'S AN EXPERT IN THESE AREAS. AND WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT IN THE PAST. SO SHE'S RELATIVELY NEW HERE.

WE CAN WALK YOU GUYS ALL THROUGH THAT AND GIVE YOU GUYS OUR BEST ADVICE OF HOW TO HANDLE THE CORRIDOR. AND I THINK, MAYOR, TO YOUR POINT TOO, IT'S NOT JUST COLAS, BUT IT WAS LIKE ALL THROUGH THE DISTRICT, THE RECORDS AND KIND OF KIND OF TALK ABOUT THAT FROM A HIGH LEVEL. THAT'D BE GREAT. I MEAN, I THINK WE COULD DO THAT. SO IS THAT MAYBE ONE JUST A PARKING LOT ITEM TO COME BACK AND HAVE SOME DISCUSSION AND THEN WE COULD SAY, OKAY, NOW YOU'VE GOT ALL THIS INFORMATION. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? I THINK FOR ME, GUYS, WHEN WE COME DOWN TO ALL THESE INTERSECTIONS OKAY, I THINK THAT DOES IT BEING THE BEGINNING OF THE WHERE THE ROADS AND WHERE ALL THE STREETS NEED TO HAVE THE CONNECTIVITY, I THINK IT'S JUST GETTING MORE REAL FOR ME NOW THAT WE'RE ABOUT READY TO REALLY START, YOU KNOW, GETTING GOING FOR BIDS AND WE'RE GOING TO START CONSTRUCTION. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE CERTAIN AREAS OF THE CITY THAT THAT HAVE THAT CONGESTION. BUT IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, AM I OVER THAT HUMP? AM I YOU KNOW, I'M I OVER THAT THING TO WHERE I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE WITH THE DATA, THE ANALYSIS, WITH THE WITH THE INFORMATION. NOT ONLY THAT THE REAL TIME GOING DRIVING OUT THERE MYSELF SAYING THIS IS A ROUNDABOUT, REALLY GOING TO WORK IN THIS AREA. I DRIVE FOR THAT AREA. YEAH, YEAH. IT'S TRUE. AND I DRIVE OUT THERE TOO. AND LIKE I'M SAYING, ROUNDABOUTS CAN GO ALL THE WAY UP. THEN BOOM, YOU HIT A STOPLIGHT RIGHT AT JACKSON HAYES TRAIL AND WILL THAT BACK STUFF LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW. SO I'M LOOKING AT EVERYTHING.

LOOKING AT EVERYTHING, DOCTOR HARRIS, ABOUT ALL THAT STUFF. SO IT'S JUST A MATTER OF MAKING SURE THAT WHEN I SIGN OFF ON THIS, THAT IT'S 100% AND IT'S NOT TRYING TO TAKE AWAY THAT THERE'S A NEED OUT THERE, THERE'S A NEED EVERYWHERE. I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT ACCIDENT RATES, TOO. I THINK THIS IS A HIGH ACCIDENT RATE CORRIDOR. YEAH. AND YOU KNOW THERE. YEAH. I JUST WANT US TO GET THAT RESOLVED SOON. DON'T START NOW FOR FOR STAFF'S SAKE, ARE WE SAYING DON'T LOOK AT THE INTERSECTIONS ALONG HOLDERS HERE AS AN IMPROVEMENT, OR ARE WE JUST KILLING IT? RIGHT. LIKE, I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S THE INTENT IS TO SAY DON'T START AT ALL. TRAFFIC MITIGATION. WELL, THAT WASN'T THE QUESTION. THAT'S KIND OF THE CONCERN. YEAH, YEAH. CAN WE THE FEEDBACK THAT I HEARD AND I THINK THE STAFF HEARD WAS YOU GOT TO DO SOMETHING WITH THESE INTERSECTIONS. WE'RE NOT SURE IF ROUNDABOUTS ARE. WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS THE QUESTION DON'T START MEANS KILL IT. YES.

DON'T START. DON'T START MEANS KILL IT. YES. DON'T START MEANS WE'RE NOT DOING THIS PROJECT SPECIFICALLY. NOT. YEAH. BUT I THINK THROUGH THE DISCUSSION, IF YOU GUYS ARE SAYING WE WANT TO. YEAH. FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, BRING US ALL BACK THIS INFORMATION AND LET US MAKE THAT DECISION. AND THEN YOU COULD ASK, YOU COULD STILL SAY, THEN KILL IT. WE DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING HERE, OR WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT OR SOME MODIFIED VERSION. YEAH. AGAIN, I THINK THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS KIND OF WORDED IS LIKE WE DIDN'T HAVE I WROTE LOTS OF COMMENTS. YES. THIS IS THE FEEDBACK I HAVE BECAUSE I KNOW I THINK WE ALL AGREE IT NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. HOW THAT LOOKS, HOW THAT'S UPDATED. I THINK MAYBE GIVE US MORE OPTIONS.

[02:35:03]

BECAUSE MAYBE WE DO NEED THAT. SO IT'S THE TOTALITY OF THE INFORMATION THAT I RECEIVE IN THE WAY THAT WE RECEIVE IT, THAT WE MAKE DECISIONS. YEAH. AS WE MOVE ALONG, I'M THINKING, OKAY, MAYBE THIS CROMWELL RICHARDSON IS A GOOD IDEA, RIGHT? SO WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE I NEED TO MAKE SURE I HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO MAKE THOSE CHOICES. BUT BUT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR IS, I THINK IS A GOOD POINT IS LET'S DO LIKE A TRAFFIC ANALYSIS OF HOW ALL THESE THINGS WORK TOGETHER INSTEAD OF LIKE AN INDIVIDUAL PIECE. HOW DOES IT ALL WORK TOGETHER. SO YOU CAN SEE LIKE MOBILITY IF YOU WERE TO BUILD THE SOCCER FIELDS THERE, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO, HOW DOES IT HOW DO PEOPLE GET IN AND GET OUT? HOW'S THAT WORKING? I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN THAT REPORT, BUT WE CAN DO THAT. AND THAT'S A GOOD THAT'S A GOOD OUTCOME OUT OF THIS. AND IT GIVES YOU THE CONFIDENCE TO KNOW HOW YOU WANT TO PROCEED.

YOU KNOW, AND THIS EXERCISE IS NOT THE BE ALL END ALL ON THESE PROJECTS IS IT. WHAT DID YOU SAY. THIS IS A STARTING POINT, NOT THE FINISH LINE. EXACTLY LIKE THIS IS THIS IS JUST US COALESCING AROUND THIS GROUP. AND WHAT YOU'LL THINK, I THINK THE DIRECTION FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS CONVERSATION IS WE NEED TO COME BACK, REEVALUATE ALL THESE THINGS, SEE THEM ALL AS ONE. I THINK THAT'S THE EXACT DIRECTION WE NEED. YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S GREAT.

BUT IT'S NOT SAYING THIS IS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NOW, BUT BUT AT THE SAME TOKEN, IF YOU WERE LIKE, I DON'T CARE WHAT IT SAYS, I DON'T WANT TO DO THESE PROJECTS, THEN WE JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT TOO, RIGHT? LET'S NOT SPIN OUR WHEELS FOR NOTHING. SO. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S NOT WHERE YOU ALL ARE, SANDERS. BUT OBVIOUSLY WE LEFT OUT SAN JUAN BECAUSE THERE'S A ROAD RIGHT THERE, RIGHT? SAN JUAN. YEAH, YEAH. SO YEAH, THAT GOES RIGHT BY THE WATER TOWER. YEP. YEAH.

I MEAN, THE TRAFFIC COUNTS. YEAH. YEAH. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE A CROSSING THOUGH. YEAH. IS THAT BY BETTER. OKAY. NEVER HEARD OF SAN JUAN BEFORE. YEAH EXACTLY.

NOBODY DOES. WELL THERE'S ALSO MORE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S OCCURRING OVER THERE THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO UPDATE. THERE'S A LOT OF TOWNHOMES THAT ARE COMING IN A COUPLE HUNDRED UNITS. THEY HAVE THE NEW APARTMENTS THAT ARE COMING IN. SO WE CAN PLUG ALL THOSE INPUTS IN OF HOW THE ACTIVITY AND HOW IT'S GROWING. AND WHAT'S THAT MEAN. THAT'S A GOOD CONVERSATION OKAY. EXCELLENT. CLAUDIA, YOU ARE YOU GUYS GOOD WITH THAT OR I GUESS THE GIS THING. WHAT. DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION THAT MAYBE I'M JUST NOT PHRASING IT CORRECTLY,

[02:40:02]

SO I KNOW WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR AS I'M DRIVING AROUND. LET US WORK ON THAT. WE CAN SEE IF WE CAN BRING THAT BACK TO YOU WITH THIS OVERALL DISCUSSION. I THINK THAT'D BE GOOD. THAT'LL BE PART OF THAT PRESENTATION. YEAH. AND THEN WE COULD COME BACK AND AND TALK ABOUT THE FUNDING A LITTLE BIT MORE OF KIND OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AND WHAT'S WHAT'S PLANNED AT CROMWELL AND MARKET. I THINK THERE'S A QUESTION YOU HAD TO OKAY. GREAT. EXCELLENT. NEXT ONE IS ROUNDABOUTS BEAUTIFICATION PROGRAM IMPACT IS 31. THAT'S THE MOST EVEN DISTRIBUTION THAT YOU HAVE. SO WE'RE MISSING ONE. SO WHO WHO WOULD LIKE TO REPRESENT START NOW. GO FAST ON THAT. ANYBODY REMEMBER PUTTING THAT DOWN I DID I DID BECAUSE THEY NEED TO MATCH WHEN THE ROUNDABOUTS GO IN. BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE TRYING TO GO BACK AND DO THAT AFTER THOSE ROUNDABOUTS. AND THE ROADS AROUND THEM ARE ALL COMPLETE BECAUSE THERE ARE WATER LINES THAT MAY GO IN THERE. THERE ARE ELECTRIC LINES THAT MAY GO IN THERE. YOU NEED THE YOU NEED THE PROTECTION OF THE LINE OF SIGHT FROM THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SO THERE ARE ISSUES WITH ROUNDABOUTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN THE BEAUTIFICATION PIECE. OKAY, CLAUDIA, YOU ALSO SAID THAT ONE. YEAH, I THINK I HAD THE SAME, I GUESS, SENTIMENT. AND MINE ALSO HAS TO DO WITH LIKE EQUITY AND MAKING SURE THAT LIKE THE BEAUTIFICATION, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE'VE BEEN TALKING A LOT ABOUT HOW WE'RE DOING A LOT ON THIS PORTION OF 35. SO REALLY QUICK, EASY WAY TO START SPREADING OUT EQUITY IS BY DOING THINGS LIKE THIS THAT ADD TO THE QUALITY AND CHARACTER OF OUR AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN UNDERFUNDED. AND SO I THINK BEING ABLE TO DO THAT IN LIKE, I THINK I WROTE A NOTE TO YOU IN THAT IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD HAVE PUBLIC ART THAT EXTENDS FURTHER INTO THE EASTERN CORRIDOR, BECAUSE IT JUST KIND OF LIKE LITERALLY STOPS, LIKE, RIGHT AS SOON AS YOU CROSS I-35. BUT LIKE INCLUDING MORE THAT FURTHER EAST, I THINK. BECAUSE WHEN WE THINK ABOUT, LIKE IN OUR VISION, TRYING TO REMEMBER IT, THERE'S LIKE THRIVING, THRIVING COMMUNITY NEIGHBORHOODS OR THRIVING NEIGHBORHOODS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT'S THAT'S A PART OF IT. IT'S LIKE IT'S ABOUT LIKE CREATING THE OVERALL FEEL CHARACTER OF IT. AND I ALSO THINK THAT IF WE ARE TRYING TO DO IT RETROACTIVELY, THEN THAT IS ALSO WHAT GIVES THE APPEARANCE OF INEQUITY IS THAT IF WE HAVE THESE NEW ROUNDABOUTS AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NICE AND THEN THESE OTHER ONES AREN'T KIND OF UP TO PAR WITH THEM, THEN IT STARTS GIVING OFF THE APPEARANCE OF INEQUITY EVEN FURTHER. SO YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S ONE THAT I COULD START LATER ON THIS ONE. AND, AND IT'S BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT, THAT HAVING A, A PLEASANT VISUAL ESTHETIC FOR OUR CITY AND FOR OUR RESIDENTS IS IMPORTANT. AND I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WANTS KYLE TO LOOK LIKE AN EASTERN BLOC, YOU KNOW, SOVIET STYLE, YOU KNOW, TENEMENT COMMUNITY. I THINK WE WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A PLEASANT DRIVING EXPERIENCE FOR OUR RESIDENTS. AND AS YOU COME INTO, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN INTERSECTIONS, YOU KNOW, INTERSECTIONS THEMSELVES ARE NOT ATTRACTIVE, BUT YOU CAN MAKE A ROUNDABOUT ATTRACTIVE LIKE YOU CAN YOU CAN BRING SOME JOY TO A COMMUTE BY MAKING IT JUST AN OVERALL BETTER DRIVE. AND THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD HAS ALREADY BEEN WORKING ON THE DESIGN OF THESE, BY THE WAY, THEY'VE ALREADY PRESENTED SOME DESIGNS TO THE COUNCIL.

HAVE THEY BEEN VOTED ON? AND THE COUNCIL HAS ACTUALLY GIVEN THE PARKS AND REC BOARD DIRECTION ON. WE PROVIDED FEEDBACK. YEAH. SO PRIOR TO SEVERAL OF I DON'T RECALL WHEN IT WHEN IT CAME FORWARD, BUT WE ACTUALLY HAD WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT LOCATIONS WOULD BE WHAT JESSE SHOWED THAT ON THE PAGE. OR ONE OF US SHOWED IT ON THE PAGE OF WHICH ONES WERE ART, LANDSCAPING OR SIGNAGE. AND THE COUNCIL VOTED ON THAT. I DON'T RECALL WHEN THAT WAS, BUT WE CAN COME BACK AND HAVE ANOTHER. YEAH, IT'S BEEN A WHILE. I CAN'T REMEMBER. ALL THE ROUNDABOUTS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS OR ARE THERE CERTAIN ROUNDABOUTS? EVERY SINGLE ONE.

[02:45:01]

SO GETTING A DECISION ON THAT PARTICULAR ROUNDABOUT, WHAT YOU WANT IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN VERY SOON. STAGECOACH AND CENTER STREET IS ANOTHER ONE.

AND THEN OTHERS ARE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER OUT. SO YOU HAVE SOME. BUT WE DO HAVE A PLAN OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO, AND WE'RE TRYING TO DESIGN EACH LOCATION. SO THAT AND I THINK FOR KOHLERS AND BEEBE, IT WAS ALREADY DESIGNED AND BID AS PART OF THE PROJECT. SO THAT WAS UNDERWAY. NOW SOME OF IT FOR THE ART PIECE IS JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS KNOW THE ART HASN'T BEEN SELECTED, RIGHT. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ART IS GOING TO BE, BUT THESE ONES THAT ARE FOR ART, THERE'S GOING TO BE A PLATFORM THAT'S A CONCRETE PLATFORM THAT'S DESIGNED TO HOLD UP TO SO MANY POUNDS OF WEIGHT FOR ART. SO MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO SHOW WHO'S GOT THE DONGLE THING. MAYBE WE CAN SHOW THESE REALLY QUICKLY. IT'S. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I MEAN, SO SOME OF THESE ARE PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT MORE IMMEDIATE THAN OTHERS JUST BECAUSE OF WHERE THEY ARE. WHEN EAST SIDE WAS KIND OF DESIGNATED AS HONORING OUR AG HISTORY, STAGECOACH WAS WE DID INTEND TO MAKE A REGIONAL. YEAH. YEAH. SORRY TO INTERRUPT. NO THAT'S PERFECT. WELL, I THINK SO. ALL THE ONES IN THE PINK WITH THE A OR ART. THERE'S THREE ON THE EAST SIDE. THERE'S ONLY TWO OF THOSE ON THE WEST SIDE. THE SIGNAGE. THERE'S ONE ON THE EAST. AND THEN THERE'S LIKE THERE'S THREE ON THE WEST, AND A LOT OF THE LANDSCAPING ONES ARE IN THE GREEN. AND I THINK THE, THE SIGNAGE WAS, WHAT IF THEY'RE ENTERING THE COMMUNITY? THOSE WERE THE KIND OF THE ENTRY POINTS. SO THEY WANTED SIGNAGE TO INDICATE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE IN KYLE NOW, MARK BROUGHT UP THE SUGGESTION AT THE PARK CENTER AND THE HEROES MEMORIAL. IT'S MORE OF A PATRIOTIC SIGNAGE. THOSE THREE. YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE THOUGHT IT WAS. AND WE'RE GOING TO BUILD ALL THESE ROUNDABOUTS. YEAH.

ALL OF THESE ARE IN SOME VERSION OF DESIGN. NOW. NOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT LIKE SO YOU HAVE. YEAH I THINK WE NEED TO. AND THAT WAS AND THAT WAS MY ONLY REASON FOR NOT SAYING START NOW GO SLOW AND AND FIGURE IT OUT. YEAH. SO AS WE GET THE INFORMATION LIKE L L IS BEING WELL I THINK REGARDLESS YOU GOT WINDY HILL. YOU'VE AWARDED THE CONTRACT FOR THAT, RIGHT. THAT CONTRACT HAS BEEN AWARDED FOR THAT PARTICULAR ISN'T IT THOUGH, THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE PAID OUT OF OUR GENERAL FUND? NO. SO YOU AND WE NEED TO GET TO WHERE WE GO. YES.

RIGHT. SO I GUESS I DIDN'T HEAR THE QUESTION. I'M SORRY. I GUESS THAT'S THE PART THAT I'M CONFUSED ON, IS THAT WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME ROUNDABOUTS AND WE'RE GOING TO BEAUTIFY THEM, RIGHT. LIKE THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. AND SO THEY'RE ASKING, DO THEY WANT US TO BEAUTIFY. YEAH. SO I GUESS REGARDLESS OF IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE SOME OF THEM, I FEEL LIKE THAT WE STILL ARE THE ONES THAT WE DO HAVE THAT WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED, YOU KNOW, THAT WE'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE TO DO IT. SO I GUESS I'M JUST CONFUSED ON LIKE THE SO THE REASON MY QUESTION IS IT'S REALLY HARD FOR ME TO JUSTIFY BEAUTIFYING. NOW. SAFETY IS A DIFFERENT THING. YOU WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT LIGHTS. I GET THAT. THAT'S ONE THING. BUT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BEAUTIFYING THINGS, WHEN WE HAVE AND I, I KNOW WE HAVE SIDEWALK PLAN, I KNOW WE HAVE THINGS. I'M LOOKING AT ALL THESE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT WE NEED FOR STREETS AND ROADS. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO JUSTIFY PUTTING A PIECE OF ART IN A ROUNDABOUT WHEN PEOPLE CAN'T TAKE THEIR CHILDREN IN WHEELCHAIRS OR WALK. SO YEAH, THIS IS A GREAT IDEA TO HAVE IN THE FUTURE. I JUST FIND IT REALLY HARD TO JUSTIFY THIS RIGHT NOW. AND THE ONE ON WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S PART OF A ROAD BOND LIKE THAT TO ME IS CONCERNING. LIKE, ARE WE OVER THE ROAD BOND? SHOULD WE REALLY BE MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY JUST TO COVER THE ROADS BEFORE WE START, INCLUDING ART? IS THAT RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS, BOND TAXPAYER DOLLARS WITH THAT? IT'S IT'S FOR ME, THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE ABOUT CUTTING THE FAT. AND WHERE CAN WE DO THAT AND PROVIDE THE NECESSITIES FOR THE RESIDENTS BEFORE WE START DOING THESE FUN THINGS? SURE. AND THAT'S THAT'S WHAT BUDGETING IS. IT'S ALL ABOUT CHOICES. RIGHT? AND SO LET ME JUST SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS THOUGH. SO COLAS AND BB, YOU CAN SEE IT AS NUMBER NINE. YOU'LL SEE THAT RIGHT THERE. THAT SPOT THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION. SO IT'S BEEN AS PART OF THAT. IT'S GOT LANDSCAPING WITH IT. SO RIGHT THE PLANTS THEY'RE NOT TERRIBLY

[02:50:02]

THAT ROUNDABOUT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. YOU DON'T WANT IT TO BE JUST A BUNCH OF CONSTRUCTION RUBBLE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, AND YOU'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING. YOU COULD JUST PUT GRASS OR YOU COULD PUT SOME KIND OF, YOU KNOW, XERISCAPE SURFACE, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING. AND THERE ARE LEVELS OF COST, BUT THE ART PIECE ITSELF COULD BE MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT THAT ONE'S IN PROGRESS. IT'S GOING RIGHT NOW. AND SO IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE ON THAT AND YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ART PIECE THERE IN THE FUTURE, IT'S IMPORTANT TO TELL US BECAUSE THAT ONE'S ALREADY BEEN BID AND IT WAS DESIGNED ALREADY AND UNDER CONSTRUCTION. SO I'D SAY THAT JUST TO KIND OF THIS IS WHY THESE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT.

BECAUSE THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS WE CUT THE RIBBON ON THAT THING AND SOMEONE SAYS, WHY IN THE HECK DID YOU GUYS BUILD THIS? WHAT DO YOU THINK? THE OPTICS, THOUGH, ARE GOING TO BE? AS WE'RE PUTTING IN STUFF IN ROUNDABOUT WITH IRRIGATION TO OUR RESIDENTS WHEN WE HAVE WATER ISSUES, WHETHER, YOU KNOW, YOU SAY IT'S COMING CLINICAL OR NOT, LIKE RIGHT NOW THEY'RE HEARING IS WE HAVE WATER ISSUES. SURE. SO ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO HAVE DROUGHT, DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS. THERE IS IRRIGATION THAT WOULD BE THERE, BUT IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE IRRIGATED ALL THE TIME. SO THEY'RE MEANT TO BE DROUGHT TOLERANT. AND PLANTS THAT THRIVE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT WITH THE HEAT AND THE LACK OF RAINFALL. SO THEY'RE THEY'RE CONTEXT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF SENSITIVE TO THAT. SO THAT'S THE FIRST THING. AND THEN THE SECOND THING IS I DO UNDERSTAND THE POINT, MAYOR, ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE MAKING A CHOICE LIKE THIS, IT'S RESOURCES THAT CAN'T BE SPENT ON SOMETHING ELSE. AND THEN THOSE ARE THAT'S THE HARD THINGS IS WHAT WE DO THAT ALL THE TIME WHEN WE BUILD A CERTAIN PROJECT OR WE DECIDE TO FUND SOMETHING, THAT MEANS SOMETHING ELSE DOESN'T GET DONE.

WHEN YOU PUT THESE IN, THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO PUT IT IN. IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT, IT'S THE CHEAPEST THAT IT'LL EVER BE, BUT IT'S A GOOD CONVERSATION FOR YOU GUYS TO HAVE IF YOU THINK TOO MUCH OR YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE THOSE. OR MAYBE YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME OF THESE, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM, YOU WANT TO JUST HAVE LESS. YOU COULD DO THAT TOO. BUT THIS IS THE PLAN THAT HAD BEEN APPROVED BY COUNCIL. AND I WILL SAY TO YOU ON COLAS, THERE'S TWO SPOTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT. SO THE COW CROSSING WHERE IT'S THE L NUMBER EIGHT. YEAH. AGAIN THAT ONE'S NOT GOING TO BE A ROUNDABOUT. WE I JUST MENTIONED THAT TO YOU EARLIER. AND THEN WE'VE TALKED ABOUT CROMWELL NOT BEING A ROUNDABOUT. I KNOW WE NEED TO COME BACK TO THAT. BUT THAT WOULD NOT BE ONE. BUT THE OTHERS ARE ALL GOING IN VARIOUS STAGES AND WE HAVE THE FUNDING, SOME OF IT, MOST OF IT'S IN THE BOND PROGRAM ITSELF, THE LANDSCAPING ONES. THOSE ARE PRETTY INEXPENSIVE IN THE CONTEXT OF EVERYTHING. BUT THE OTHER FUNDING WE HAVE IS $1 MILLION PER YEAR THAT WE'VE BEEN DEDICATING TO A CAPITAL PROJECT ACCOUNT FOR THESE KINDS OF THINGS, TO THE SIGNAGE THAT HAS TO BE DESIGNED, FABRICATED, BUILT, AND THEN THE ARTWORK ITSELF TO HAVE THOSE. AND THEN THE ARTS AND CULTURE COMMITTEE WOULD BE LOOKING AT THAT TO GET GRANTS FOR THE ART, BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR PUBLIC ART MASTER PLAN, WHICH IS NEEDED IN ORDER TO APPLY FOR GRANT FUNDING. SO YEAH, IT'S WELL MAKING BUDGET DECISIONS BASED OFF OF POSSIBLE GRANTS OR DONATIONS. I THINK IT'S KIND OF A SLIPPERY SLOPE FOR ME. SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE PLAN IN ORDER TO SUBMIT THE GRANT, FOR EXAMPLE. WE CAN'T THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN DEPEND ON EVERY YEAR. AND I'M CURIOUS WHAT THE MAINTENANCE IS GOING TO BE ON ALL THESE ROUNDABOUTS. IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID WAS GOING TO BE $1 MILLION? NO, THAT'S FOR THE MILLION DOLLARS. IS FOR THE CIP HOW MUCH WE WOULD BE DEDICATING IN GENERAL FUND DOLLARS TO GO TOWARDS THIS OVER TIME. SO 5 MILLION OVER THE FIVE YEARS TO BUILD UP RESOURCES TO DO ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WERE NEEDED. SO THE ART PIECE IS I MEAN, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THERE'LL BE LOTS OF OPTIONS THAT YOU GET ON THOSE, ON LOTS OF COST POINTS OR PRICE POINTS ON THEM. BUT THE IDEA WAS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE WAS WAS FOR BOTH THE SIGNS AND THE ART PIECES THAT HAVE SOME MONEY SET ASIDE THAT COULD PAY FOR THOSE THINGS. AND IT WAS WHEN THE COUNCIL TALKED ABOUT THIS. AND FOR THOSE THAT WERE ON THE COUNCIL, Y'ALL CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT IT WAS YOU'RE JUST CREATING SOME PLACEMAKING ABOUT SOME OF THESE SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS OR CHANGING THE THE FOOTPRINT HERE QUITE A BIT. HOW DID YOU WANT TO DO THAT? AND A LOT OF PEOPLE SEE THESE AS UNIFICATION OF THE CITY. AS YOU'RE BUILDING THESE OUT. AT LEAST THAT WAS THE IDEA AT THE TIME. MAJOR ARTERIAL. YEAH. SO SO THAT'S KIND OF THE QUESTION FOR YOU GUYS IS THERE'S A LOT THAT YOU'RE GETTING. I MEAN, IF YOU WANT VIVIAN KOHLER BEING KIND OF AN IMMINENT PROJECT, AND ESPECIALLY WITH ALL OF US BEING VISUAL PEOPLE. CONTINUING WITH BEAUTIFICATION WITH THAT ONE PARTICULAR IN MIND, AND THAT WOULD GIVE US SOME AN

[02:55:04]

AND SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT $1 MILLION, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT SOUNDS OKAY. WELL, $1 MILLION COMPLETED AT ALL. THAT WOULD BE ONE THING. BUT THEN WHEN WE TALK TO OUR RESIDENTS AND WE SAY IT'S ACTUALLY $5 MILLION FOR FIVE YEARS, HOW DO THEY FEEL ABOUT THAT? YOU KNOW, I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME KIND OF FEEDBACK, BECAUSE THAT'S $5 MILLION THAT COULD GO TO THE NEW WASTEWATER BUILDING THAT WE WANT TO PUT OVER THERE, AND THAT WOULD KEEP OUR WASTEWATER RATES, OUR WATER, JUST, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF IT'S JUST A DOLLAR LOWER, THAT'S IMPORTANT, YOU KNOW, REALLOCATING IN WAYS THAT WE HAVE TO TO SERVE THE NEEDS. FIRST AND FOREMOST, I'M NOT TRYING TO LIVE IN AN UGLY CITY. I WANT MY CITY TO BE BEAUTIFUL. RIGHT? AND ART CAN COME IN A MILLION DIFFERENT WAYS. YOU KNOW, AT ONE POINT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE KYLE THE WORD KYLE, AND THEN PEOPLE CAN GO IN AND JUST MAKE THE Y AND PEOPLE WILL TAKE PICTURES. AND THAT WOULD BE A BIG DEAL AND THAT WOULD BE THEIR ENTRYWAY. THERE'S BEEN LOTS OF IDEAS, RIGHT? IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE GRANDIOSE EVERY SINGLE TIME. THESE AREN'T I DON'T THINK THESE ARE GRANDIOSE. LITERALLY JUST $5 MILLION IS A LOT. BUT IT'S THERE'S 27 ROUNDABOUTS.

YEAH. THAT'S. YEAH, THAT'S DOLLARS A WEEK IS THE COST. WELL THEY'RE THEY'RE SPREAD OUT.

THEY'RE ALL NOT BEING CONSTRUCTED IN THE SAME YEAR. THEY ARE. THEY'LL HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FINISHES. SOME OF IT'S JUST LANDSCAPING. SOME WILL BE JUST THE KYLE NAME AND SOME LANDSCAPING. SO I THINK WE HAVE LANDSCAPING IN OUR ENTRYWAYS. AND SOMETIMES I THINK THAT'S KIND OF HARD TO KEEP UP WITH AS WELL. SO LOOKING AT WHAT WE DO, WHAT WE'VE DONE AND HOW WE WANT TO PROCEED, LET'S NOT OVER. FOR ME, IT'S ABOUT OVERFILLING OUR PLATE, RIGHT? I LOVE THE IDEA THAT WE HAVE DO I WANT IT TO EVENTUALLY BE THAT WAY? I WOULD, I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT. I DON'T THINK WE'RE AT THE PLACE WHERE WE SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON THAT KIND OF STUFF. I WANT TO MAKE OUR RESIDENTS FEEL SECURE. AND THE FIRST THING, $5 MILLION IN A ROUNDABOUT ARE NOT INCLUDING MAINTENANCE. AND INSTEAD OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ASKING THEM TO BOND OUT IN BONDS, I DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR TO THEM. BUT WE ARE DOING A LOT OF THINGS. YEAH, IT'S LIKE IT'S NOT JUST THIS THAT WE'RE DOING. WE'RE ALSO DOING THINGS RIGHT NOW AND MAKING DECISIONS RIGHT NOW. WE'RE NOT MAKING DECISIONS LIKE GIVING FEEDBACK RIGHT NOW. THAT DOES HELP OUR RESIDENTS FEEL MORE SECURE, YOU KNOW, AND DOES GIVE THEM A BETTER SENSE OF LIKE, HEY, WE'RE PRIORITIZING, WE'RE LISTENING, WE CAN HEAR YOU AND WE'RE TAKING THESE THINGS INTO CONSIDERATION. SO I THINK I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S LIKE, THIS ISN'T LIKE THE HILL THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE ON, YOU KNOW, NECESSARILY, BUT THAT IT'S ABOUT DOING THINGS IN CONJUNCTION WITH EACH OTHER, WITH OTHER PROJECTS. YEAH. AND I THINK IT'S ABOUT LIKE THE TOTALITY OF IT. AND I LIKE THE FACT THAT BRIAN SAID PLACEMAKING, BECAUSE THAT IS SOME OF THE BIGGEST FEEDBACK THAT I'VE GOTTEN FROM PEOPLE IS LIKE BEING ABLE TO FEEL LIKE THIS IS MORE OF A HOME, AREAS THAT THEY CAN FEEL PROUD OF, YOU KNOW, AND JUST IT GIVES THEM A BETTER SENSE OF BELONGING AND WELCOMING AND MORE PRIDE IN THEIR CITY. IT'S A TOUGH ISSUE AND I KNOW IT'S A TOUGH ISSUE. ALL OF US HAVE ARE LIKE COMMUNICATING. I'M NOT LAUGHING AT YOU, SO LET'S CALM IT DOWN. BUT MY WHOLE POINT IS YOU CAN GIVE A SENSE OF COMMUNITY WITHOUT SPENDING $5 MILLION. AND SO THERE'S OTHER WAYS THAT WE CAN DO THAT. THERE'S OTHER ART THAT WE CAN BRING SOME MISREPRESENTATION. SAY THAT THIS ONE ROUND ABOUT $5 MILLION. YEAH. NO NO NO NO.

JUST I SAID I DIDN'T SAY THIS ONE IS AND I SAID IT'S FIVE YEARS $1 MILLION OVER THAT TIME.

RIGHT. IT'S A MISREPRESENTATION TO SAY IT'S $1 MILLION BECAUSE IT'S NOT IT'S $5 MILLION OVER FIVE YEARS. AND SO THAT'S THAT THAT WAS MY POINT. AND DO I DO WE DO WE WANT TO SPEND $5 MILLION OVER FIVE YEARS? THAT'S A QUESTION. AND WE EACH ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OWN OPINION.

AND SO I YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONVINCE ME. I DON'T HAVE TO CONVINCE YOU THAT YOU ELECTED ME. AND IF IF YOU GUYS MOVE FORWARD, THAT'S FINE. BUT I'M NOT. I JUST DON'T LIKE THE COMPETITIVENESS, I GUESS. WELL, IT WAS LOW ON THE PRIORITIES, YOU KNOW, NONE OF US. WE ALL AGREED IT WAS NOT AT US. SO HERE'S THE DEAL. I SAID I WOULD LET THE CONVERSATION GO AS LONG AS IT'S PRODUCTIVE. I THINK WE'VE DONE THAT. I THINK FROM HERE ON OUT IT WOULD NOT BE PRODUCTIVE, IT WOULD BE REPETITIVE. SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON. I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO READDRESS THIS PROBABLY WHEN YOU GET INTO THE BUDGET CYCLE AND BUDGET PROCESS, BUDGET PRIORITIES AND SOME OTHER STUFF. I THINK FOR A SUGGESTION, WHAT I, WHAT I THINK I SHOULD DO IS WHEN WE BRING THESE BACK FOR THE CALLERS AND THE WHOLE MOBILITY DISCUSSION OF THAT

[03:00:01]

IT'S VALUES ALWAYS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. RIGHT. AND IT'S IT'S THERE'S ALL KINDS OF DECISIONS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. WELL YEAH. BUT BUT YOU KNOW MOVING A TREE YOU KNOW, IS THAT WORTH IT OR NOT. IT DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK. RIGHT. AND AND WE MAKE ALL KINDS OF DECISIONS ALL THE TIME THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE THE BEST JUDGMENT GIVEN ALL THE FACTS. SO WE'LL BRING IT TOGETHER FOR YOU SO YOU CAN SEE IT A LITTLE BIT, MAYBE GIVE YOU SOME BETTER. I DON'T RECALL THE DESIGNS. AND WE CAN PUT THE DESIGNS TOGETHER SO YOU CAN SEE IT. THERE WAS A BRANDING COMPONENT TO THIS TOO, SO THAT YOU WOULD HAVE SOME BRANDING IN EACH OF THESE DISTRICTS THAT WOULD BE KIND OF DISTINCT FOR THOSE AREAS. WE CAN BRING THAT BACK TO YOU SO YOU CAN SEE THAT A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN YOU GUYS CAN GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL KEEP MOVING. THAT WAS AN EASY ONE. SO LAST ONE OLD STAGECOACH POCKET PARK. THAT'S PRETTY CLEAR. WELL EXCEPT WE GOT ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE. ONE PERSON THAT THINKS THAT WE SHOULD START NOW AND GO FAST, AND EVERYBODY ELSE SAYS, DON'T DO IT. SO THE PERSON WHO SAID, START NOW, GO FAST. DO YOU WANT TO REPRESENT YOUR POSITION ON THAT, YVONNE? WAS THAT YOU KNOW, OR DO YOU WANT TO JUST SAY, WE'LL MOVE TO START NOW? IT WAS ME, OKAY. I'M PRETTY SURE IT WAS ME. UNLESS SOMEBODY ELSE WANTS TO SAY IT WAS ME. I THINK IT WAS ME. WE. WE WORKED WITH SIX CREEKS ON GETTING THAT LAND WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WOULD BE A PARK. AND IT IS NOT NOW A PARK. IT ALSO THE PARK WAS TO HONOR THE THE HISTORY OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS REGION. THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE ESPECIALLY. WE HAVE NOTHING THAT DOES THAT IN THE WHOLE CITY. IF WE'RE GOING TO HONOR THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT AREA TO DO IT IN. SO THAT'S WHERE THEY LIVED CLEAR THAT THAT THAT'S WHERE THEY LIVE. IT'S VERY HISTORIC, I THINK SO, BUT I FEEL LIKE THERE COULD BE OTHER WAYS TO WELL, THERE MAY BE, BUT THERE'S STILL WE GOT THE LAND FROM SIX CREEKS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING IT WOULD BE A PARK. WELL, I MY MY CONCERN WOULD BE THE PARKING AND HOW PEOPLE WOULD GET THERE. AND YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT SET UP TO BE A PARK AND I THINK IT'S A POCKET PARK AND POCKET PARK PARKS, I MEAN, IT'S ACCESSIBLE. THERE'S YOU CAN TURN INTO SIX PEAKS. IT'S NOT GATED. THAT ROAD THAT RUNS RIGHT THERE, YOU CAN PARK ON THAT BY THE MAILBOXES. IT'S IT'S IT WALKS BY IT SO THAT THE NEIGHBORHOODS CAN ENJOY THAT LITTLE PARK. I THINK THE DRAINAGE AREAS ARE GOING TO BE THERE, WHETHER WE BEAUTIFY THEM OR NOT, MAKE IT INTO A PARK OR NOT. I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE A NICE ADDITION TO THAT AREA AS A PARK POCKET PARK. AND IT WOULD HONOR WHAT WE TOLD SIX CREEKS WE WERE GOING TO DO. THEY'RE NOT HAPPY WITH THIS RIGHT NOW. HERE'S MY DEAL. THAT'S A NEW PARK, AND THERE ARE AREAS IN OUR CITY THAT HAVE NO PARK. AND SO INSTEAD OF SAYING, HEY, 6 TO $800,000 IN THIS, IN THIS NEW PARK, WHY DON'T LOOK AT ME. LOOK AT LOOK. HE REMEMBER HE GIVES HE HE GETS DIRECTION FROM US, RIGHT? HE'S NOT TO BLAME FOR ANY OF THE MESS. YEAH. IT'S LIKE HE'S NOT TO BLAME. NO. I WANTED TO KEEP THE TREE WHERE IT WAS. LET ME MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR. THAT WAS POSSIBLE. TREE RIGHT WHERE IT WAS. AND SO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN. YEAH. SO THAT WAS MY GOAL, THE FACT THAT YOU AND COUNCIL DECIDED TO MOVE IT, I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. I DIDN'T GET UP AND SAY, HEY, MOVE THIS TREE. MY GOAL WAS TO KEEP IT. SO THAT SAID, EVEN IF I WAS ON BOARD MOVING IT, I WAS NOT ON BOARD BUILDING A MOVEMENT. SO ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE SO MANY AREAS THAT DON'T HAVE PARK, WHEN IT WAS DESCRIBED AS BEING PART OF THE ROSEMONT PROJECT, IT SAID MANY OF THE IMPROVEMENTS WERE GOING TO BE DONE BY THE DEVELOPER.

RIGHT. AND SO NOW WE'RE FINDING OUT, OH, IT'S $700,000 TO BUILD A PARK THERE. AND I'M LIKE, NO, THE RESIDENTS WERE NOT GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY. THERE WAS NO DEVELOPER THERE TO BUILD THAT.

WELL, IT'S I'M GOING BY WHAT WAS STATED ON OUR WEBSITES. I DON'T REMEMBER TALKING ABOUT THAT. SO THE TOTAL MOVE FOR THE TREE ENDED UP BEING, WHAT, ONE POINT SOMETHING A LITTLE LESS THAN A MILLION. IT HAD SOME SAVINGS IN THIS POCKET PARK WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL 700. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ALMOST 1.6 MILLION FOR A MOVING OF A TREE AND BUILDING A POCKET PARK.

THAT'S A YEAR APART ON ROUNDABOUTS. SORRY, I JUST AND I MEAN SORRY IF I'M LOOKING A LITTLE BIASED BECAUSE AGAIN, I LOOK AT HERE AS ALWAYS AND HERE'S VISTA PARK THAT HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED IN 20 YEARS. AND I CAN'T EVEN GET THIS STREET DONE, WHICH IS GOING TO RUN US MAYBE

[03:05:06]

WELL, I HEAR WELL, HERE'S THE THING, DOCTOR HARRIS. I HEAR THAT EVERY YEAR. I HEAR THAT EVERY SINGLE YEAR. BEFORE SHE WAS ON CANCER, WHEN HER AND PETER PARKER WERE SITTING UP THERE, WE HEARD IT EVERY SINGLE YEAR. I AGREE WITH YOU. I'M. AND I'M NOT, YOU KNOW, I'M I'M I'M JUST SAYING WHY I BELIEVE THAT THE PARK POCKET PARK. WE HAD AN OBLIGATION TO SIX CREEKS TO DO THAT. IT WOULD BE AN ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY. MAYBE THE TIMING IS NOT RIGHT ON THAT.

MAYBE WE NEVER DO IT. MAYBE SIX CREEKS WILL DO IT. I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT VOTED. LET'S DO IT NOW. SO YOU KNOW THAT'S. YEAH. THAT'S NOT A HILL I'LL DIE ON. YEAH. BUT YES. THAT'S JUST CAN WE GET AN AGENDA ITEM ON THE NEXT MEETING? SO TAKE CARE OF THAT ROAD. WELL, SO HE'S BEEN PART OF THE PLAN FOR THIS. SO THAT IS RELATED TO THE COUNTY FACILITY THAT WANTS TO BE BUILT THERE. AND AND BUILDING SUNFLOWER ROAD THROUGH THAT AREA AT THAT PROJECT. AND.

PARK THE ANIMAL SHELTER AND ANIMAL SHELTER. SO IT'S ALL PART OF THAT PROJECT. SO WE CAN COME BACK AND TALK THROUGH THAT, HOW THAT'S GOING TO BE DONE. BUT THAT'S HOW IT'S CONTEMPLATED. THAT IS REALLY AMAZING. AND I HOPE IT COMES TO FRUITION. BUT WE DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S COMING TO A THEATER NEAR YOU IN APRIL. SO AFTER THESE MESSAGES, RIGHT AFTER THESE MESSAGES. YES, SIR. BUT BUT WE HAVE THERE ARE PLANS FOR IT, MICHAEL. IT'S THAT'S YOU'RE RIGHT. I MEAN IT'S WHY HAVEN'T THAT WHY HASN'T THAT BEEN DONE TEN YEARS AGO OR FIVE YEARS AGO.

BECAUSE I THINK THE CITY HAS FIVE YEARS, BUT. I DON'T KNOW ON THAT. BUT BUT WE, WE DO HAVE A WELL, WE DO HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT. BUT IT'S A GREAT SEGUE BECAUSE NOW THE QUESTION IS NEW INCENTIVES. WHAT OTHER THINGS DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT? THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT ARE KIND OF IN THE HOPPER, THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN MOVING. WE'VE GOT OUR CIP PLANS, ALL THESE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING. BUT THEN THERE'S A NEW GROUP. WHAT ARE THERE ANY OTHER PROJECTS THAT YOU WANT TO GET IN THE MIX AND THAT YOU WANT US TO CONSIDER BRINGING FORWARD IN CIP, IN THIS BUDGET THAT'S COMING FORWARD? ARE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT INITIATIVES? WELL, KALVISTA REALLY WASN'T INCLUDED IN OUR DISCUSSION PREVIOUSLY. WELL, I MEAN, KALVISTA IS PART OF THE MOU THAT WE'VE HAD. SO THE IDEA IS THAT YOU HAVE THE COUNTY FACILITY, THE ANIMAL SHELTER AND THE PARK ALL ON THAT PIECE OF LAND WITH SUNFLOWER CIRCLE. WE DO IT ALL FULLY DEVELOPED, AND WE'VE GOT AN EYE ON THE ANIMAL SHELTER. WELL, YOU'VE ACTUALLY. YEAH, WE'VE ACTUALLY. YES, APPROVED THE ILA AND THE DESIGN IS UNDERWAY FOR THAT. SO MY THOUGHT ABOUT HOW WE HANDLED THIS IS TO GIVE YOU GUYS SAY 7 OR 8 MINUTES, MAYBE TEN MINUTES IF YOU NEED IT TO. JUST THINK ABOUT IT, KIND OF JOT DOWN THOUGHTS ON THINGS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET ON STAFF'S RADARS, POTENTIAL NEW PROJECTS. IT MAY BE A BIG HONKING IDEA FOR THE FUTURE. IT MAY BE SOMETHING YOUR NEIGHBOR GOT OFF ABOUT AND TOLD YOU ABOUT. IT COULD BE ALL THAT RANGE USUALLY COMES OUT HERE, AND AFTER YOU DO THAT, WE'RE GOING TO BOGGLE DEBRIEF, WHICH MEANS WE'LL GO AROUND THE TABLE. WE'LL WRITE DOWN WHAT EVERYBODY SAYS. BUT ONCE IT'S SAID, THEN CROSS IT OFF YOUR LIST BECAUSE WE'LL JUST CREATE A LIST SO WE DON'T HAVE REDUNDANCIES. THAT'S THE BEAUTIFUL PART OF IT. YOU DON'T GET CREDIT FOR THE WORDS SOMEBODY ELSE GOT IT TO. IS IT CLEAR WHAT I'M ASKING YOU TO DO? YEAH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, LIKE, ANYTHING. ANYTHING? ANYTHING. YEAH. WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A BRAND NEW WHATEVER THAT'S IN IT. JUST STUFF THAT'S NOT ON THE RADAR AT ALL. I DON'T KNOW HOW THOSE DISHES. ALL RIGHT, TAKE SOME TIME. COME UP WITH YOUR LIST. JETPACK, JETPACK, JETPACK, CREATIVE SPACE DEPARTMENT. WE'RE ALMOST THERE, GUYS. HANG IN. AFTER THIS, I HAVE TWO, TWO THINGS TO DO. BUT, YEAH, I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE WATCHING THE GROUP. THE ENERGY LEVEL IS COMING DOWN. ENERGY LEVEL IS. I PROBABLY SHOULD EAT THAT SANDWICH. OH, YEAH. GET ONE OF THESE COOKIES OR SOMETHING. I ATE COOKIES. HEY, COOKIE, I DIDN'T EAT THE PROTEIN. I'LL PROBABLY. THEY'RE REALLY GOOD. YEAH, LIKE THEY'RE SO GOOD. I'M GONNA GO GET MY SANDWICH. THAT'S SO FUNNY THAT WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT.

[03:10:29]

THIS A MILLION, DOLLARS, MILLION DOLLARS. GUESS WHAT? LAST YEAR WE CAME FOR VISTA PARK, RIGHT? YES. BECAUSE THAT WAS WHERE THE ORIGINAL SPORTSPLEX WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.

THE LIBRARY. ALSO, YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ALSO, THE ATTEMPT FOR THE EAST CAMPUS LIBRARY. AND I FEEL LIKE BECAUSE IT WAS IT WAS FOR IT WAS TO CONNECT AMBER KENSINGTON AND. SUNFIELD OR THAT AREA, THAT AREA FOR CHAPEL AREA. BUT IT JUST IS GOING TO BE TAKEN UP BY LIKE ANIMAL SHELTER AND THE COUNTY OFFICES. WE HAVE NOT APPROVED THE COUNTY OFFICES YET.

I DON'T KNOW, BUT BUT I'M TOLD THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE LIKE A PROBATIONARY PROBATION ON PROBATION. WE GO IN THERE. I DON'T KNOW THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE ON PROBATION BEING ACCESSIBLE.

YEAH. THERE'S I THINK THE INTENT FROM THE COUNTY IS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT IS THEY WANT TO TURN THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT BUILDING STRICTLY INTO COURT AND COURT RELATED STUFF AND GET ON THE NON COURT OFFICES. I WAS LIKE ALSO ONE MORE PUBLIC HEALTH. SEE THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. LIKE NO IDEA. YEAH. AND I WANT TO BE IT WAS. SO I THINK IT WAS A COMPLEX THAT SHE'S GOING TO GET A SATELLITE OFFICE OVER THERE. I KNOW THE TAX ASSESSOR-COLLECTOR HAS BEEN TOLD THEY'RE GOING TO GET A THERE'S GOING TO BE A IT WAS GOING TO BE KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR HERE IS GOING TO BE A COMPLEX. IT WAS GOING TO BE A COUNTYWIDE COMPLEX WHERE YOU HAD SPECIFIC BUILDINGS, YOUR TAX, YOUR HEALTH AND EVERYTHING, WITH ALL WITHIN THAT REGION. BUT WHEN DAVID SHOWED ME THE PLANS OF THE VISTA PARK, I MEAN, HE'S LIKE, YEAH, IT'S STILL ON THERE. I MEAN, THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE TURF GRASS AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF AND SOCCER FIELDS AND BUT IT'S JUST, I MEAN, LIKE, I'M TRYING TO TELL THEM THIS IS, THIS GOES BACK TO WHEN DAPHNE TENORIO WAS, WAS SERVING THERE. THAT'S HOW FAR THAT PARK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DEVELOPED BACK THEN. AND JUST THROUGH THE YEARS, AND JUST DIFFERENT COUNCILS AND PRIORITIES AND THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, THOSE PEOPLE IN THE AREA, ESPECIALLY BACK IN AMBERWOOD, WERE ALWAYS SAYING, HEY, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A CITY PARK OUT HERE ONE DAY, YOU KNOW? AND SO. YEAH. SO. YOU KNOW WHAT STREET IT IS, RIGHT? I'M TALKING ABOUT THAT GRAVEL, THAT GRAVEL ROAD. YEAH. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. IT'S LIKE A I IT'S BACK WHEN LEON WAS HERE LEON AND THEM AND I ACTUALLY PUT IT ON AN AGENDA ITEM. AND THEY LOOKED INTO THAT STUFF GOING THROUGH THERE. YEAH. BECAUSE THERE'S A FAMILY THAT LIVE BACK THERE AND EVERY YEAR THEY HAVE TO THEY ALL LIKE, OKAY, THIS IS YOUR YEAR WHERE YOU BUY THE GRAVEL, THEY GO IN AND THEY RESURFACE IT. BUT YOU KNOW, THOSE SOME OF THOSE FAMILIES DON'T SPEAK SPANISH, SPEAK ONLY SPANISH. AND I'VE HAD TO TALK TO THEM BEFORE. AND THEY'RE LIKE, WELL, WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS. YOU KNOW, THEY KEEP SAYING ONE DAY, ONE DAY I SAID, I'M STILL WORKING ON IT. I TOLD BRIAN BEFORE I LEAVE, WHATEVER I DO, IF MY NAME'S ON THE STATUE SOMEWHERE, IT DOESN'T MATTER AS LONG AS I GET THAT STREET PAVED. I DON'T CARE.

JUST PAVE THAT STREET BEFORE I GO. OH. YEAH. OKAY, I GOTTA GO DO MY PUSH UPS. IT'S TIME. YEAH, I'M DOING PUSH UPS. SUPPOSED TO BE WRITING THIS ON THE MAP. YOU WRITE THEM DOWN, WE'RE GOING TO DEBRIEF IT AS A GROUP AS SOON AS WE GET EVERYBODY BACK.

[03:15:17]

SOCIALIST LIKE. ALL RIGHT, LET ME JUST ROUND. ROUND ALL THEM UP. ONLY PEOPLE THAT THINK LIKE ME ARE OKAY. YEAH, YEAH, WE GET THAT A LOT, DON'T WE? THANK YOU. SORRY, I'M HOT OR COLD. THAT'S WHAT. I'VE GOT MY JACKET ON. I GOT MY SWEATSHIRT, BUT IT WON'T BE THE SWEAT. I THOUGHT ABOUT WEARING MINE TOO. I SAW IT WAS LIKE. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO FUNNY. I GOT IT, BUT. SO I JUST LIKE SWEATSHIRTS. I LIKE TO BE FREE. AND I KNOW I DON'T. YEAH I DO, YEAH WE GOT. YEAH, YEAH.

GOOD. YEAH. LET'S GO. YEAH I DON'T KNOW I HAD TO PULL OUT AS MUCH. TOBIAS HAS THAT. NICE.

YEAH I LIKE THAT. THINGS THAT WERE. ALL THAT IT IS, IT IS IN A NATURE PARK. AND THEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT A MINUTE TO GO IN THERE. AND THEY'RE DESIGNING THAT ACCORDING TO COMMUNITY FEEDBACK. YEAH. WORKSHOPS DID. I HAVE A LIST? THAT'S DEFINITELY A NATURE PARK.

IT'S GOT LIKE FIVE DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT ECOREGIONS. YEAH, IT'S REALLY COOL. I JUST THINK IT'S LIKE SCHOOLS CAN DO FIELD TRIPS THERE. WELL, THAT'S PART OF THE PLANNING FOR IT. YOU KNOW, A PAVILION FOR THE KIDS AND YEAH, YEAH, SIGNS TELLING WHAT REGION YOU'RE IN. THIS IS THE WETLANDS AND. THIS IS BLACK LAND. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD, AND OF COURSE IT'S ALL DISTURBED BECAUSE THAT'S A CONSERVATION LAKE. AND SO IT'S ALL BEEN MADE INTO THAT AREA.

BUT STILL THE SEEDS ARE NOW COMING BACK FROM WHEN THEY CALL THAT OUT. WHEN I WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, IN HIGH SCHOOL WE HAD THE. BENSON DOWN. AND WHICH IS HUGE FOR BIRDING, AND THEY WOULD TAKE US OUT THERE ALL THE TIME AND ALSO FOR MIGRATION. AND IT'S LIKE ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES AS A MIDDLE SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOLER IS LIKE JUST EXPERIENCING ALL OF THAT.

YEAH. SO I'M JUST LIKE, SHOULD BE ABLE TO RECREATE THAT. LOVE IT. EXACTLY. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. YEAH. WELL, NOT EXACTLY. WELL, I KNOW, BUT IT WON'T BE QUITE LIKE BEING ABLE TO HAVE, LIKE, A FOND MEMORY OF LIKE. AND WE'RE RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM THE SCHOOL. EXACTLY. YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S DEFINITELY THE PLAN FOR THAT PARK. OKAY. IT'S VERY POSSIBLE. YEAH. DID YOU SAY THAT? I WANTED IT IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE I BARGAIN. DON'T WORRY. OH, YEAH. YEAH.

THAT'S JUST TOO MUCH. CLUBS WERE GIANT LIKE THE THE OTHER ONES. YEAH. CAME IN LIKE TWO LARGE. OH. THIS. TWO. THIS WAS A FOOT LONG. OH MY GOSH. I GAVE THE OTHER PART TO AMBER OR SOMEBODY. FOR THAT. OKAY. YEAH. THAT'S ALWAYS OUR GOAL. BRING IT ON THE RIGHT PEOPLE. AND

[03:20:03]

YEAH. GOOD. SO. YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. THAT'S GOOD. JUST GOT A DEBIT CARD ON THIS.

SO IF YOU GO SOMEWHERE WITH HIS FRIENDS AND THEY NEED SOME MONEY, I CAN WRITE. BUT WE USUALLY. I THINK THIS IS MOSTLY COUNSELING. YEAH. YOU GUYS GET TO PLAY ALONG, RIGHT? YOU COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE. I'M NOT SIGNING ANYTHING. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIGN. IT'S TOTALLY FOR YOU. YOU DON'T? I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO TURN IT IN. RIGHT. NO. YOU SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE BRISTLE WHEN THEY SIT DOWN? TOTALLY FINE. WE DON'T. THERE'S. IT'S JUST A PSYCHOLOGICAL THING.

WHERE I HAVE, LIKE, THIS LITTLE THING. IT'S JUST LIKE THIS CARDBOARD BOX THING THAT I WAS LIKE, OH, I'M GOING TO GO THERE. I'M NOT SIGNING NOW. AS YOU. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THAT'LL MAKE THIS EXERCISE GO REAL QUICK. ALL RIGHT. SO I THOUGHT MICHAEL BETTER BACK IN. HE WAS GETTING A SEVEN. YEAH, HE'S COMING RIGHT BACK. I THINK HE'S LIKE JARS OF MICHAEL. AND THEN MY MOM, SHE WAS THERE. SHE'S TERRIBLE OLD. I COMPLETELY FORGOT I SAID IT. I'M A BROKEN RECORD, BUT I THINK IT'S A STUPID BECAUSE IT'S LIKE. NO. DO YOU WISH IT WOULD STAY ON THIS TIME SETTING? I DON'T, I LEGITIMATELY JUST PICK ONE. PICK ONE. I WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT? I LIKE THIS ONE. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO. I PREFER THIS ONE, BUT WE'RE GONNA DO ONE. I LIKE THE ONE WHERE IT GOES BACK. NO, NO, I DON'T WANT TO DO. THERE WON'T BE DOING ANY BACK OR FORTH. JUST PICK ONE AND MOVE. YEAH. YOU'RE NOT SAVING ANY DAYLIGHT. THE SAME AMOUNT OF DAYLIGHT. AND THE JUSTIFICATION. THE FARMERS START AT DAWN. DAWN COMES WHEN DAWN COMES. WHEN THE SUN COMES UP. THAT'S WHEN THE COMBINES DRIVE THEMSELVES. NOW, ANYWAY.

YEAH. AND IF YOU WANTED TO HAVE YOUR WORKERS COME IN EARLY DURING THE SUMMER, THEN YOU DO SUMMER HOURS, RIGHT? SO INSTEAD OF YOU TELL THEM THEY COME IN AT SEVEN INSTEAD OF EIGHT. YEAH, THEY CAN LEAVE EARLY 8 OR 9. YEAH. WHY DO YOU HAVE THIS POLICY CHANGE? YEAH. BUT WHY? I CHANGE ALL THE CLOCKS. CLOCK TIME IS A HUMAN CONSTRUCT. IT'S NOT REAL. YOU DON'T EVEN DO IT IN EVERY STATE. LIKE MY BROTHER WAS IN HAWAII. HE DIDN'T SEE DAYLIGHT. THEY DON'T DO IT IN ARIZONA, ARIZONA, HAWAII. I THINK THEY'RE LIKE. THEY DON'T. THEY DON'T DO IT. INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA DOESN'T. ISN'T INDIANA. IT'S JUST INDIANAPOLIS. OH, THAT'S SO WEIRD. IT DOES. I'M JUST LIKE THAT. WAS INDIANAPOLIS. IT'S BEEN A LONG. LIKE. HE WENT A LONG STRETCH WITH NO DAYLIGHT SAVINGS. HE WAS IN JAPAN, AND HE WAS IN HAWAII, AND HE WAS INDIANAPOLIS, AND NONE OF THEM HAD IT. YEAH. WHEN HE MOVED TO CALIFORNIA FROM INDIANA, JUST TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TIME YOU GOT TO BE THERE AND LIKE, CRAZY. ALL RIGHT. I KNOW WE'RE WAITING ON MICHAEL TO GET BACK, BUT WE CAN START THIS DEBRIEF BY STARTING TO MAKE OUR LIST OF OF ANYTHING THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO JUST GET ON THE RADAR.

SO WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS AND I'LL EXPLAIN THE SHEETS I HANDED OUT. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IF ANYBODY BRISTLED A LITTLE BIT BY SEEING THIS COMMITMENT TO CHANGE. I ALREADY HAD TWO PEOPLE TOLD ME I AIN'T SIGNING NOTHING. SO IT'S NOT LIKE THAT. SO. BUT I'LL EXPLAIN IT. AND WHY I HANDED OUT EARLY. BUT I JUST WANT TO GET THIS LIST MADE. AND WE CAN. BECAUSE I HAVE TWO THINGS LEFT FOR US TO DO, ROUGHLY. AND THEN FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE DONE. HEY, SO LET'S START WITH YVONNE. IF YOU'VE GOT ANYTHING YOU WANT. WE'RE GOING TO GO ONE AT A TIME TO GET TO PUT YOUR NUMBER ONE THING ON THE LIST. THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE NEXT PERSON.

WE'RE GOING TO GO AROUND UNTIL EVERYBODY'S OUT. BY THE WAY, WE JUST THE BODY LANGUAGE IS NOT GOOD. WE'RE ALMOST THERE. SO IT SHOULD BE EXCITING, RIGHT? IT'S GOOD LITTLE DANCE BREAK. YEAH.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAND WHILE WE DO THIS. YEAH. OKAY, SO MINE IS GOING TO BE UPDATES TO HIGHWAY 159 EAST WEST. JUST COME UP COME UP WITH THE PLAN OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. OKAY. 150 I MEAN, I KNOW WE HAVE THE BYPASS, BUT I KNEW WE'D HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON. OKAY. YOU

[03:25:01]

SO WHEN WE HAVE, LIKE THE HOUSTON CLAY. YEAH. YOU KNOW, DO WE HAVE DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, SUCH AS HAVING TO MIX IN LINE WITH SOME SORT OF SOIL TREATMENT THAT STABILIZES THAT SOIL SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE THESE PROBLEMS FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD? YEAH. SO REVIEWING DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR SOIL TYPES OR JUST. YEAH, UDC AMENDMENT. I MEAN, HAVING THOSE STANDARDS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW. YEAH. I WOULD LIKE TO PICK UP A CONVERSATION. I HAD STARTED WITH A FEW PEOPLE LAST YEAR ABOUT STARTING AN ECONOMIC ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. I SEE, PETER, ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL REASONS WHY THEY HAVE A MUCH BETTER, YOU KNOW, LOCAL ECONOMY. REMEMBER, IT'S A TAXING ENTITY, RIGHT? IT'S ANOTHER TAX. IT'S IT'S IT'S ANOTHER TAX. IT'S DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU WANT TO DO BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE SALES TAX CAPACITY TO DO ANY SALES TAX. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET SOME IDEA WE WANT TO DO IT. THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO COME UP RIGHT. IT'S A GOOD ONE. IT'S GOOD. YEP. GO AHEAD. SO CAN I GET SO CUZ I, SO I, I GUESS I'M LIKE, IS THIS LIKE OUR TOP. LIKE, IF WE'RE GONNA DIE TOMORROW, THIS IS LIKE OUR LAST THING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA SAY WE WANT DONE OR LIKE SPECIFIC BECAUSE I'M LIKE, I WROTE LIKE SPECIFICS LIKE VERY LIKE, OKAY, I WANT THIS. AND THIS IS LIKE THE PROS AND CONS CHALLENGES. THIS IS HOW WE COULD POTENTIALLY OPERATIONALIZE IT. HERE'S EXAMPLE CITIES LIKE I. SO I GUESS FOR ME IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARDER. BUT I MEAN I SAID IT YESTERDAY BUT ONE OF THE ITEMS IS ROAD IMPACT FEES. OKAY. I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GONNA GET MUCH PUSHBACK ON THAT. YEAH. HOW MUCH I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO HAVE MORE EMPHASIS ON OUR HISTORIC PRESERVATION, RECOGNITION AND PUBLICITY, PUBLICATIONS, PUBLICITY AROUND THAT, MAYBE. THAT WAS ONE OF MINE WAS EITHER ESTABLISHING OR REESTABLISHING THE HISTORICAL COMMISSION, BECAUSE I THINK AT ONE TIME WE HAD THAT. WELL, THERE IS A COUNTY HAS ONE THE COUNTY, AND THEN THERE'S A LOCAL. THERE'S A LOCAL THAT'S NEW TOO, RIGHT? THAT'S TRUE. I THINK THEY'VE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE. WELL, THE ARCHIVES IS ONE OF THE ARCHIVES. I THINK THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT. BUT YEAH, WE TALKED ABOUT THE ARCHIVES. TRAVIS DUG UP ALL THESE BOXES AND BOXES AND BOXES, ALL OF THAT, I DON'T KNOW, IT'S IN THE LIBRARY. WE'VE GOT THE LIBRARY. CAN YOU SEE WHAT WAS ON YOUR LIST THAT'S NOT ALREADY UP HERE? I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF, LIKE, SPECIFIC TYPES OF THINGS. AND MY THING WAS JUST THE, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO FOR ME, IT'S GOING TO BE MORE CIP PROJECTS THAT I'M LOOKING AT, MAYBE BEGINNING OR COMPLETING. IT'S NOT SO MUCH WHAT WHAT EVERYBODY IS DOING. THEY WANT TO SPECIFIC NEW THINGS OR NEW NEW. YEAH. THIS IS STUFF THAT'S NOT ON THE RADAR YET THAT YOU'D LIKE TO GET ON THE RADAR. YEAH, WELL, MY THING IS JUST THERE'S SPECIFIC CIP PROJECTS THAT I'M LOOKING AT, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING SPECIFIC I NEED TO KNOW, BUT LET'S SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, WHERE OUR SIDEWALK INITIATIVE IS, MAYBE TO ADD ANOTHER SIDEWALK ON THE OPPOSITE ROAD SIDE OF DAISY LANE THAT GOES UP TO THE HOSPITAL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S GOING TO GO BY KENSINGTON, YOU KNOW, BUT THAT'S GOING TO COST FUNDING, THAT'S GOING TO COST MADDOX AND EVERYTHING ELSE. BUT AS FAR AS LIKE BRINGING IN NEW INITIATIVES, I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. OKAY. NO. MAYOR, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT'S NOT ALREADY BEEN SAID? I SAID THE FIRST ONE, WHICH IS THE 115 BYPASS. YES. BUT, YOU KNOW, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE I'M BIG ON PARK. I LIKE THE IDEA. I'D LIKE TO SEE THE GAPS IN THE PARKS FILLED. I THINK THAT'S

[03:30:01]

KIDS HAVE TO CROSS IT TO CONTROL THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND KIDS HAVE TO CROSS IT. ON THE LIGHT BUS FROM WALLACE, THEY GET DROPPED OFF AT TOBIAS AND THERE'S NO CROSSING GUARD THERE. AND AND AT 6:00 IN THE EVENING AND IT'S ALREADY HALF DARK, BUT I DON'T CARE. GO WALK ACROSS A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT'S A HIGHWAY AND IT'S NOT SAFE. AND WE SHOULD HAVE MORE ON THE OTHER SIDES OF THE STREET THAN THE HIGHWAY FOR THOSE FOLKS TO PLAY IN THE MEAN. THERE'S LAND DEDICATED FOR IT, BUT IT'S NOT HAPPENED. IT'S NOT PROGRESSED, IT'S SITTING STAGNANT. SO, MELISSA, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ADDITIONAL? NO, I DON'T WANT TO SPEND MORE MONEY. I WANT TO BEAUTIFY WHAT WE HAVE. I WANT TO DEVELOP WHAT HAS BEEN PROMISED, AND I WANT TO FIX I MEAN, FIX WHAT WE HAVE. EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT. COURTNEY, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ADDITIONAL? SO THIS IS GOING TO SOUND REALLY STUPID, BUT I ACTUALLY KIND OF APPROACHED THIS WITH ME, AND THAT WAS LIKE DOING KIND OF JUST A PAMPHLET THAT SAYS, LIKE, WALK OLD TOWN. KYLE. YEAH, SHE'S TALKED TO ALL OF US ABOUT THAT AND STUFF LIKE THAT. YEAH. WHERE YOU'RE AT AND SOME HISTORY ABOUT IT. YEAH, YEAH. I MEAN, WE HAVE LIKE IT WAS A CUTE IDEA ONLINE, BUT I THINK SOMETIMES HAVING THAT WRITTEN MATERIAL IS OKAY. AND SHE'S TALKING ABOUT MAYBE HAVING A GUIDE THAT COULD BE ON THE SCHEDULE. YEAH. I GOT A LITTLE FEEDBACK FROM SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T LIVE HERE. WE CAME DOWN HERE TO THIS AREA FOR A VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT FOR MY DAUGHTER AND CHARGED UP OVER BY FIVE GUYS BURGERS AND FRIES. AND I DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL I CAME BACK DOWN HERE THAT I WAS IN KYLE AT THE TIME. OTHER THING IS, I DID A SEARCH BEFORE WE CAME DOWN HERE BECAUSE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE COMING WITH ME, AND I SAID, WHAT ARE THE KEY POINTS TO HIT WHEN YOU'RE IN, KYLE? AND THE FIRST THING IT TOLD ME TO DO WAS TO GO TO SAN ANTONIO. REALLY? THAT'S THE REALITY. SO JUST SO I DON'T THINK THAT JUST SOUNDS STUPID AT ALL PERSONALLY, BUT HEY, MIKE. THE ONLY ONE I JOTTED DOWN TO WAS CONSIDER PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS THAT CAN HELP US DECREASE OUR BURDEN ON TAXPAYERS. I THINK THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE RESOURCES WE HAVE TO TO HAVE SOME REVENUE GENERATING OPPORTUNITIES THAT THAT ALLOW US TO TAKE SOME OF THE BURDEN OFF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE.

THAT'S ESPECIALLY TRUE OF DOWNTOWN. YEAH. SO I HAVE A QUESTION, BECAUSE I WAS TALKING ABOUT I WAS TALKING TO I THINK I'VE GOT DOZENS OF IDEAS I DON'T WANT TO DRILL DOWN YET, BUT IS IT TRUE THAT OUR CITY, WE'VE TOOK A VOTE TO NOT NAME BUILDINGS AFTER MAJOR CORPORATIONS? I DON'T KNOW WHY. I DON'T KNOW WHY SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT, BUT I WAS LIKE, I THINK OF LIKE H-E-B FIELDS OR, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU'VE GOT THE NAMING, THE NAMING POLICY THAT'S GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU, THAT YOU'LL BE ASKED TO TAKE A VOTE AND YOU GAVE DIRECTION ON IT, BUT YOU HAVEN'T. I THINK IT SAYS THAT LIKE A SPONSORSHIP. YEAH.

THERE'S ELEMENTS OF NAMING POLICY THAT RESTRICT PUTTING THE CORPORATION NAME, CORPORATION NAMES, BUT IT'S NOT ACROSS THE BOARD. YEAH. AND YOU CAN ALWAYS YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE EXCEPTIONS. YEAH. THERE WAS A MONETARY TIE TO THAT. YEAH. SO IF YOU PAY FOR IT THEN YOU KEEP YOUR NAME ON IT. YEAH. SELLING NAMING RIGHTS IS A PRETTY COMMON THING. AND FOR A LIMITED FIELDS AND AND NOT PERMANENT NAMING, THE IDEA WAS LIKE DON'T NAME CITY HALL. THE CITY HALL DISCUSSION THAT THAT WHOEVER SAID THAT THEY WERE PROBABLY HEARING BECAUSE THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A DISCUSSION ON IT, WAS THE NAMING RIGHTS TO CITY FACILITIES FROM A CORPORATION. SO CITY HALL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. OKAY. THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT. BUT THE WHOLE THE NAMING, RIGHT, THE NAMING POLICY AS A WHOLE ALLOWS FOR THE MONETARY NAMING COMPLEX OR SOMETHING LIKE YOU COULD HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE AND YOU WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO. THERE'S PEOPLE YOU'D WANT TO PARTNER WITH AND OTHERS YOU WOULDN'T, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ALCOHOL BRAND OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND EVERYTHING, OR MAYBE YOU WOULD, AND EVERYTHING THROUGH THAT POLICY IS APPROVED FOR ANOTHER COUNCIL. MAYBE. SO, YEAH, YOU ALL WOULD SEE ANYTHING BEFORE IT EVER GOT APPROVED. OKAY. TEXAS STATE CHANGED THEIR FROM BOBCATS TEAM TO THE BANK US STADIUM, FROST BANK CENTER, THINGS LIKE THAT. EXCELLENT. CLAUDIA ANTHONY, I WOULD LIKE

[03:35:02]

THERE'S A LOT OF GRANT FUNDING THAT CAN BE USED TO SUPPORT THAT. EXCELLENT. OKAY. I REALLY LIKE ALL THESE. IT'S GETTING HARD TO FIND THE ONES THAT ARE LEFT. I REALLY THINK THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE EMPHASIS ON ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION, ESPECIALLY OUR CITY OWNED PROPERTIES AND RIGHT OF WAYS. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY THAT IS NOT BEING DONE. YOU KNOW, WE COULD WE COULD USE NATIVE GRASSES FOR OUR DRAINAGE AREAS THAT WOULD MAINTAIN THOSE HELP MOVE WATER DOWN INTO THE AQUIFER AND NOT NEED MOWING, YOU KNOW, ONCE EVERY OTHER WEEK, WILDFLOWER AREAS THAT WOULD ADD PROTECTION OF RIPARIAN ZONES TO THAT AS WELL. VERY MUCH. YEAH. ESPECIALLY AS WE START DEVELOPING ON THE EAST SIDE.

THERE ARE SOME WONDERFUL RIPARIAN ZONES OVER THERE THAT I REALLY LIKE TO HAVE A LOT OF ATTENTION PAID TO. YEAH, I KNOW THE THE WASTEWATER LINE PROJECT IS GOING TO TAKE OUT A LOT OF TREES IN THE RIPARIAN ZONE AND CONCRETE THAT AT LEAST ONE LANDOWNER HAS. OKAY. OH, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, MICHAEL. YEAH. ANYTHING ELSE ON THE LIST? I KIND OF LIKE TO ECHO OFF OF COUNCILMEMBER ZAPATA'S IDEA. YEAH, OF A TRANSIT SYSTEM. I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW, I WOULD SUPPORT SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO LOOK INTO OTHER ALTERNATIVES, YOU KNOW, JUST TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT. I KNOW WE HAVE A PROGRAM. I THINK WE CAN ALSO MAYBE EXPAND TO OTHER SERVICES, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE ELDERLY AND THOSE THAT STILL NEED TO BE ABLE TO TRAVEL TO THE THE COMMUNITY SENIOR CITIZENS GROUP. YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICES FROM THERE IN CASE THEY'RE NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.

YOU KNOW, WE PROVIDE SOME KIND OF SERVICES ON THAT END. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE WE'LL DO A SHUTTLE IF IF IT GETS TO WHERE THE CITY IS ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME KIND OF SERVICE LIKE THAT, AND THEY CAN NEED A PARK MAYBE AT GEMSTONE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR AN EVENT, OR WE CAN HELP BRING THEM ACROSS THE HIGHWAY. THEY CAN PARK AT CRAIG BUILDING AND THEN GO ACROSS TO THE SENIOR BUILDING IN FOR EVENTS. AND IT COULD BE SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE. WE CAN START PROGRAMS LIKE THAT. THEY JUST GOT GRANT FUNDING TO INCREASE IT FROM, I THINK, ONE BUS TO THREE BUSSES NOW, AND THEY'RE ONLY USED DURING THE WEEK. SO THERE IS EVEN THE POTENTIAL THAT WHEN WE HAVE LIKE BIG EVENTS AND STUFF, PEOPLE COULD POTENTIALLY PARK ELSEWHERE AND WE COULD USE THE BUSSES TO TAKE PEOPLE TO AND FROM, LIKE OUR LARGER EVENTS WHERE THERE'S PARKING ISSUES TOO. YEAH. AND WE DON'T HAVE TO RELY SO MUCH ON THE SCHOOL BUS, SCHOOL DISTRICT. WE CAN IF SOMETHING'S LIKE AT LA VERDE, AS WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR THAT AND FOR THE DOWNTOWN, WE CAN HAVE POINTS ACROSS THE CITY WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME IN AND WE CAN HAVE DROP OFF LOCATIONS AND SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ALL RIGHT, MAYOR, YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT'S NOT ON THE LIST. COOL. MELISSA I'M GOOD. COURTNEY. OKAY. MIKE I'M GOOD. I WOULD LIKE US TO POTENTIALLY LOOK INTO GETTING, LIKE, AN OMBUDSMAN PROGRAM STARTED. I THINK THAT WOULD BE INCREDIBLY HELPFUL. PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GET RESOURCES. SO COULD YOU EXPAND AND EXPLAIN WHAT THAT IS FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT AN OMBUDSMAN. SO OMBUDSMAN WOULD BE SOMEONE THAT CITY COUNCIL APPOINTS. AND THEY'RE KIND OF THIS LIKE INDEPENDENT ADVOCATE FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING ISSUES LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, LET'S SAY THEY FILLED OUT SOMETHING ON 311, BUT LIKE IT MESSED UP OR LIKE IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH AND THEY JUST GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF HASSLE OR LIKE STAFF WAS RUDE OR WASN'T HELPFUL. THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO CONTACT THE OMBUDSMAN. AND THE OMBUDSMAN IS KIND OF LIKE A CASE MANAGER AT THAT POINT AND IS ABLE TO HAVE FULL ACCESS TO, LIKE ALL CITY, YOU KNOW, MATERIALS, DATA, BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO FIGURE OUT, HEY, HOW DO WE RESOLVE THIS? WHAT WAS THE ISSUE? AND IF THERE IS A RESOLUTION, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY GET TO THAT RESOLUTION. AND IF THERE'S NOT IT GETS REPORTED TO COUNCIL. SO WE WERE AWARE OF IT. BUT IT'S REALLY INDEPENDENT ADVOCACY FOR OUR RESIDENTS. OKAY. I THINK SECOND, USE THE SAME THING LIKE THE STAFF COULD CALL AND BOYS ARE CONCERNED. ORDER UP A COUPLE BUDGET MEETINGS. SO JUST KIND OF DO THE SAME THING. IT'S JUST HAVING A THIRD PARTY NEUTRAL PERSON TO TAKE

[03:40:03]

HUM. YEAH. YEAH, THEY'RE ACTIVELY RAISING MONEY. COOL. EXCELLENT. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO HAVE AN ENHANCED LIBRARY ID PROGRAM. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT MEANS WHEN YOU HAVE LIKE YOUR PHOTO AND ADDRESS ON IT, IT'S LIKE IT'S REALLY HELPFUL FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE UNHOUSED OR SENIORS BECAUSE YOU THE YOU PARTNER WITH DIFFERENT AGENCIES AND LOCAL ENTITIES AND IS ACCEPTED AS LIKE A SECONDARY FORM OF IDENTIFICATION AS WELL.

SO IT MAKES IT A LOT EASIER SOMETIMES FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO APPLY TO CERTAIN THINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE ABLE TO GET JUST, YOU KNOW, FROM OUR PUBLIC LIBRARY JUST TO REGULAR LIBRARY ID, BUT IT JUST HAS THE ADDED PHOTO WITH THE ADDRESS MARKED ON IT. SO, YEAH. SO YOU WANT TO CREATE A WAY FOR RESIDENTS TO USE THEIR LIBRARY CARD AS A FORM OF ID. YEAH. OKAY. YEAH.

OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? YEAH. OKAY. I'M LIKE I FEEL CUZ I'M JUST LIKE I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF. WELL, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE. YEAH, I KNOW, JUST, JUST GETTING IT OUT. IT'S BEEN AROUND A WHILE AND GETTING THESE THINGS OUT. GETTING THINGS OUT TOBIAS HAS HAD HALF A CENTURY GETTING THESE. YEAH, HALF A CENTURY. I'VE HAD TWO AND A HALF YEARS UNDER THE RULE.

OKAY. I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO CONSIDER LIKE A, LIKE, COMMUNITY KITCHEN INDUSTRIAL KITCHEN PROGRAM. WE HAVE A LOT OF, LIKE, SMALL LIKE, I GUESS, LIKE DAYCARES, LIKE VERY SMALL BUSINESSES WHO COULD POTENTIALLY DO THINGS LIKE ON A LARGER SCALE. SO BY CREATING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE SPACE AND ACTUALLY CREATE THEIR BUSINESSES, GROW THEM MORE. AND WE SUPPORT LIKE LOCAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE CONSIDERED FOR DEVELOPMENT HERE. YEAH, I THINK THAT'S BEEN PART OF THE CONVERSATION. AND ARTS ARTISTS, SAME CO-OP FOR ARTISTS. THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING IN BY LOWE'S AND THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A KITCHEN LIKE A COMMUNITY KITCHEN. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO DO IT. BUT THERE WAS TALK OF THAT LIKE, HEY, WE WANT DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO COME IN AND MAKE THEIR STUFF DIFFERENT, LIKE EVERY DAY, EVERY WEEK. I DON'T KNOW, I THINK I BROUGHT THAT UP TO BRIAN. YEAH, RIGHT. BECAUSE THEY ARE BUILDING THE THE APARTMENTS THERE. YEAH. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE AN OUTDOOR KITCHEN WHERE YOU WALK IN, YOU HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT FOODS ALL SET UP WITH AN OUTDOOR AREA SO PEOPLE CAN COME IN LIKE EVERY WEEK, OR THEY CAN SHOWCASE THEIR FOOD AND IT COULD BE EXCHANGED OUT. IT'S NOT LIKE A SET PERSON HOLDING YOUR BOOK. SO IT'S LIKE A POP UP. YEAH, BUT IT'S A BRICK AND MORTAR, BRICK AND MORTAR. AND LIKE IF YOU WERE THERE, I REMEMBER THAT PRESENTATION WAS PHENOMENAL. IT'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN. BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHEN WE GO BACK TO THE

[03:45:01]

THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE LIKE A LATER DOWN THE ROAD THING, BUT PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING PROCESS I THINK WOULD BE REALLY, REALLY NEAT. SAN MARCUS IS DOING THEIRS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR, SO I'M KIND OF LIKE WAITING TO SEE WHAT THE FEEDBACK ON THAT IS AND HOW THAT GOES. BUT I THINK PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING IS A WAY IN WHICH WE ACHIEVE LIKE THAT. EQUITY AND INCLUSIVITY. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? I'M JUST HAVING A HARD TIME IMAGINING. IT, I GUESS DETAILS IS HOW IT WORKS WOULD DEPEND ON LIKE LESSONS LEARNED FROM OTHER CITIES, BUT PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING IS QUITE LITERALLY SAYING, HEY, YOU KNOW, RESIDENTS, WE HAVE $200,000 THAT WE'RE SETTING ASIDE. AND YOU AS A RESIDENTS GET TO VOTE AND DETERMINE ON WHERE EXACTLY HOW THAT $200,000 IS USED IN OUR BUDGET, LIKE WHERE IT GOES.

STANDING BESIDE AN AMOUNT FOR THE RESIDENTS TO VOTE AND DECIDE ON WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

SO I KNOW THAT THERE'S LIKE A GUARANTEED AMOUNT AND THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN DO THAT. SO FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S BEEN INSTANCES WHERE LIKE CITY COUNCIL WILL SAY, HERE'S THESE TEN IDEAS. AND NOW FROM THESE TEN YOU VOTE ON WHICH ONE YOU WANT THE MOST. AND THEN WE JUST PUT THAT ON THE BALLOT AND LET PEOPLE DECIDE WHEN THEY VOTE. IT'S NOT A COMMITTEE. I MEAN, IT'S NOT COMMITTEE. PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING IS JUST WHAT IT'S CALLED. IT'S JUST CALLED PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING PROGRAM. BUT SO HOW DO WE DECIDE LIKE A SURVEY PART OF THAT SURVEY. YEAH, YEAH. SURVEY ON ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIKE A SURVEY AND THEN LIKE A BALLOT. WELL BALLOTS I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE WOULD DO THAT. YEAH. WE'RE NOT GOING TO DESIGN IT. YEAH. YEAH. BECAUSE THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS TO DO IT. BUT PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING IS IS VERY INCLUSIVE, VERY PROGRESSIVE. AND I THINK IT WOULD IT'S JUST LIKE A OF AN IDEA RIGHT NOW. LIKE LIKE WE'VE SAID BEFORE, MAYBE GOOD, MAYBE BAD, BUT IT'S JUST AN IDEA. YEAH. ANYTHING ELSE. I THINK THERE'S ANOTHER PART OF IT. BUT IT'S BUILT INTO OUR BUDGETING PROCESS. BUDGETING FOR EQUITY TOOL I THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL.

SO LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, DALLAS HAS A BUDGETING FOR EQUITY PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN RECOGNIZED BY BLOOMBERG PHILANTHROPIES. AND A BIG PART OF IT IS JUST MAKING SURE THAT DURING THE BUDGETING PROCESS, IT'S REQUIRED FOR EACH DEPARTMENT WITHIN THE WITHIN THE CITY TO ANSWER FIVE EQUITY QUESTIONS THAT ARE BASED AROUND WHAT COMMUNITIES ARE UNDERSERVED AND HOW DOES OUR BUDGET THAT WE'RE PROPOSING HELP SERVE THOSE INDIVIDUALS. AND SO IT JUST ENSURES THAT, LIKE ANY KPIS THAT ARE FORMED AROUND THAT ARE ALSO INFORMED BY THIS EQUITY MONITORING, THAT WE CAN BASICALLY HOLD OURSELVES AND OUR DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTABLE TO, OKAY, GET MORE PIGGYBACKING OFF OF THAT, I THINK EVEN A MORE DETAILED IF YOU WANT TO REALLY FIGURE OUT WHAT WHAT AREAS IN KYLE ARE NOT EQUITABLE IS GETTING JUST LIKE AN OVERALL REPORT FROM AN OUTSIDE PERSON TO SAY, OKAY, THIS IS HOW YOUR CITY CURRENTLY LOOKS AND THIS IS HOW IT'S BEEN BUILT AND HOW IS AN EQUITABLE HERE VERSUS HERE. AND THEN THAT WAY WHEN WE DEVELOP, WE CAN KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE VOTE ON WHERE WE WANT TO SEE OUR, YOU KNOW, SPEND OUR TAX DOLLARS TO KIND OF MAKE. I ALWAYS SAY, LIKE WHEN ONE WHEN ONE PART OF KYLE WINS, EVERYONE SHOULD DO. RIGHT.

SO BUILDING UP ONE AREA AND THEN ANOTHER AREA THAT WE'RE ALL JUST GOING TO BENEFIT FROM THAT. SO HOW DO WE MOVE FORWARD AND BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT WHERE THINGS LACK VERSUS WHERE THINGS ARE? WE CAN HAVE A ANNUAL EQUITY REPORT, WHICH IS PRETTY COMMON PRACTICE IN MAJOR CITIES.

[03:50:04]

AND THIS IS JUST A WAY FOR YOU TO KIND OF THIS IS JUST FOR YOU. I'M NOT GOING TO COLLECT THEM.

I'M NOT GOING TO ASK YOU TO SIGN THEM AND TURN THEM IN. BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS, IF I HAVE AN IDEA IN MY HEAD OF SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO DO DIFFERENTLY AND I WANT TO PURSUE DIFFERENTLY, THERE'S ABOUT A 10 TO 15% CHANCE THAT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, WHICH IS NOT REAL GOOD. IF I WRITE IT DOWN. STUDIES SHOW THAT THAT PERCENTAGE JUMPS TO ABOUT 35, 40, MAYBE EVEN 50%, JUST BY WRITING IT DOWN AND PUTTING IT IN FRONT OF ME ON MY DESK, BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME, OH YEAH, I WANTED TO DO THAT DIFFERENTLY. I WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE. IF I WRITE IT DOWN AND THEN START TALKING TO PEOPLE ABOUT IT AND SHARING IT WITH OTHER PEOPLE, WE GET UP TO 70 OR 80% CHANCE THAT I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO DO SOMETHING. AND IF I TELL MY WIFE. IT GOES UP INTO THE 90S, BECAUSE SHE'S GOING TO REMIND ME THAT I WAS GOING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, THAT CONCEPT OF AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER. SO I WANT TO JUST GET THE BALL ROLLING AND GIVE YOU GUYS AS WE GO THROUGH THE WORK PRODUCT THAT YOU DID, WHICH IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE IN MY OPINION. A CHANCE TO THINK ABOUT. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU COULD DO DIFFERENTLY TO SUPPORT THAT, TO HELP MAKE THAT MORE OF A REALITY? IF YOU GOT NOTHING, YOU GOT NOTHING. BUT IF YOU WANT TO JOT A COUPLE OF THINGS DOWN AND THINK ABOUT HOW YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO SUPPORT IT. JUST AS A REMINDER, WE WE STARTED IN JANUARY. WE DID THE RISK ASSESSMENT. THERE IS A KIND OF A TENDENCY TO DO A LOT OF STUFF AND KEEP MOVING, KEEP MOVING AND KEEP MOVING. MAKE SURE THAT YOU TAKE A BREATH AND THINK ABOUT PROCESS AND DATA AND STRUCTURE AND ALL THAT STUFF TO SUPPORT JENNIFER AND MICHAEL.

EXACTLY. SO WE DID THAT, AND THEN WE DID AN ASSESSMENT OF THE FIVE DYSFUNCTIONS OF THE TEAM. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN THE ABSENCE OF TRUST WAS YOUR LOWEST. YOU CAME UP WITH THESE IDEAS. I'M GOING TO LET YOU I'LL READ IT TO YOU. BUT JUST KIND OF THINK ABOUT THIS IF YOU WANT TO. THESE ARE YOUR IDEAS FOR HOW TO OVERCOME AN ABSENCE OF TRUST, WHICH YOU SAID WAS A PROBLEM. NOW THIS IS ALL OF YOU, NOT JUST COUNCILS, COUNCIL AND STAFF. OPEN, TRANSPARENT AND CLEAR COMMUNICATIONS. BE ABLE TO DISCUSS DIFFERENCES, DIFFERENCES OF OPINION.

ACTIVELY LISTEN TO UNDERSTAND. CREATE OPPORTUNITIES TO BE TOGETHER AND GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER. PROMOTE AND RESOLVE HEALTHY CONFLICT OR DISAGREEMENT. ASSUME GOOD INTENT AND GIVE EACH OTHER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS. ATTACK THE ISSUE, NOT THE PERSON, AND SET A CLEAR DIRECTION AND VISION AND PURSUE IT CONSISTENTLY AND CHECK IN ON EACH OTHER. SO IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A NOTE OF SOMETHING THAT YOU MIGHT EMPLOY FROM THAT LIST, GO RIGHT AHEAD. YOU GUYS READY TO MOVE ON OKAY. ROLE OF THE COUNCIL. YOUR ROLE IS TO WORK TOGETHER TO COMMUNICATE WITH, SEEK INPUT FROM AND PROVIDE A VOICE FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. YOU SERVE THE CITY BY ESTABLISHING A STRATEGIC DIRECTION AND DEVELOPING POLICIES AND STRATEGIES THAT WILL ENSURE TRANSPARENCY AND ENABLE YOU TO ACHIEVE YOUR VISION. YOU ADHERE TO THE CHARTER AND RULES OF COUNCIL IN THE EXECUTION OF YOUR DUTIES. THE COUNCIL SUPPORTS STAFF BY PROVIDING THE RESOURCES, DIRECTION, FISCAL OVERSIGHT AND GUIDANCE AS ENABLE STAFF TO IMPLEMENT THE OPERATIONAL AND TACTICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR VISION. I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT TO THE AGENDA. I THINK IT'S A GREAT

[03:55:03]

AND WE SAY THIS IS WHAT WE'RE HERE TO DO. THAT'S ONE OF THE SUGGESTIONS I HAVE FOR PEOPLE.

IT'S GOT TO BE REAL. IT'S GOT AND OVER COMMUNICATE IT. YOU WANT YOU WANT PEOPLE TO START ROLLING THEIR EYES. OH, HERE WE GO AGAIN. VISION AGAIN. WHEN YOU ASK, HEY, HOW DOES THIS HELP US ACHIEVE OUR VISION? ALL RIGHT. EXCELLENT IDEA. READ EVERY COUNCIL MEETING BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE. YOU READ THAT OUT EVERY DAY. EVERY TIME. RULES OF ENGAGEMENT WITH EACH OTHER. THE COUNCIL CITY COUNCIL IS A COLLABORATIVE AND SUPPORTIVE BODY FOCUSED ON REPRESENTING THE VOICE OF OUR COLLECTIVE COMMUNITY. IN EXECUTION OF OUR ROLE, WE WILL HOLD EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE FOR ENCOURAGING OPEN AND RESPECTFUL DIALOG, RESPECTING ALL VOICES, REFRAINING FROM ANTAGONISTIC INTERACTIONS, PROMOTING HEALTHY CONFLICT AND DISCUSSION, BEING PRESENT AND PREPARED AND RESPECTING EACH COUNCIL COUNCIL MEMBER'S OPINION AND VOTE.

LEAVE THE POLITICS AT HOME AND INTERACTIONS WITH STAFF. COUNCIL WILL RESPECT STAFF'S TIME. WORK TO BUILD AN ENVIRONMENT OF MUTUAL RESPECT AND AND BY PROMOTING TRUST, CANDOR AND HONESTY. ALWAYS COMMUNICATE RESPECTFULLY. A LOT OF RESPECT HERE. TRUST THAT INFORMATION WILL BE USED IN GOOD FAITH AND REMEMBER THAT THEY ARE HUMAN AND HAVE REALISTIC. SO YOU MUST HAVE REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS. PEOPLE DON'T MAKE MISTAKES ON PURPOSE.

ALL RIGHT. WITH THE PUBLIC, COUNCIL WILL ENDEAVOR TO HELP DELIVER ACCURATE AND TIMELY INFORMATION, ENCOURAGE RESPECTFUL AND RESPONSIBLE CONVERSATION. BE RESPONSIVE TO REQUESTS BASED ON KNOWLEDGE, EXPERTISE, DISTRICT, ETC. TREAT EVERYONE WITH RESPECT AND DIGNITY. PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION WHILE SETTING AND MAINTAINING EXPECTATIONS. FOR INSTANCE, CONDITION MAY CHANGE, ETC. ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE. BASICALLY NOT ALWAYS RESPONDING TO THE SYMPTOM. SO WE LOOKED AT THIS BUILDING ANALYSIS ANALOGY AND I BRING THIS UP BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT MISSION AND VISION. AND ACTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT VISION AND STRATEGY AND GOALS AND THAT KIND OF STUFF. SO REMEMBER EVERY CITY HAS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME MISSION. A CITY'S MISSION IS TO BE A CLEAN, SAFE PLACE TO EAT, WORK SAFE. I MEAN, THAT'S THE BASICS FOR IT. BUT YOU DO HAVE A VISION OF WHAT YOU WANT TO CREATE. AND THEN WE DEVELOPED A SET OF BALANCED SCORECARD GOALS TO FURTHER DEFINE THE VISION.

THE STUFF THAT JESSE WENT OVER WITH YOU IS IN LARGE PART STRATEGIES, STRATEGIES, OBJECTIVES AND TACTICS WAS PRETTY MUCH WHAT THE STAFF'S PRESENTATION TO YOU ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND, YOU KNOW, STATUS OF THE PROJECT, ETC. AND THE KEY HERE IS TO EVALUATE ALL OF THAT IN TERMS OF YOUR VISION. SO YOUR VISION. IS FOR KYLE TO BE A HEALTHY, SAFE, EQUITABLE, INCLUSIVE AND UNIFIED CITY. OUR EASY ACCESS TO A VARIETY OF UNIQUE AND DIVERSE BUSINESSES, JOB OPPORTUNITIES, GREEN SPACES AND AMENITIES, AND THRIVING NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITIES MAKE US A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES ARE PROUD TO CALL HOME. IN ORDER TO DELIVER ON THAT, YOUR GOAL FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES AND THE CULTURE AS A WORKSPACE. YOUR GOAL IS TO HAVE CREATIVE, DEDICATED, ENGAGED, SOLUTION ORIENTED, AND WELL-TRAINED EMPLOYEES THAT DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS WHILE WORKING IN AN EQUITABLE ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY FEEL VALUED, SUPPORTED, RESPECTED, REWARDED, CHALLENGED AND FULFILLED. YOU MUST HAVE PROCESSES THAT ARE UNDERSTANDABLE, INNOVATIVE, CLEARLY DOCUMENTED, REGULARLY UPDATED, EASY TO FIND AND CONSISTENTLY APPLIED, AND ALSO FOR POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND PROCESSES. MAKE IT EASY TO INTERACT WITH THE CITY. FOR YOUR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE GOAL.

EVERYONE WHO INTERACTS WITH THE CITY FEELS WELCOMED, RESPECTED, HEARD, AND SUPPORTED IN A WAY THAT PROMOTES ENGAGEMENT AND COLLABORATION. YOUR FINANCIAL GOAL IS TO PRIORITIZE BEING GOOD AND FAITHFUL STEWARDS OF THE CITY RESOURCES. AND WE HAD A LITTLE DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS, SO I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU MY VIEW. AND IT COMES FROM BIBLICAL SCHOLARS, IS WHERE THE THE CONCEPT OF BEING GOOD STEWARDS. AND I TOOK KIND OF THE BIBLE STUFF OUT OF IT, BUT I THINK IT APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A GOOD AND FAITHFUL

[04:00:04]

WHEN YOU JUST SAY, WE'RE GOOD STEWARDS, WE'RE GOING TO ASSUME EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING IS IN GOOD FAITH. AND GOOD STEWARDS SHIP. BUT I THINK WHAT I THINK IS A GOOD STEWARDSHIP MAY NOT BE WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE THINKS IS GOOD STEWARDSHIP. SO I KIND OF LIKE TO GET A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT EVERYBODY THINKS THAT MEANS. BUT I THINK THAT'S THE PURPOSE. THAT'S THAT'S THE THAT'S THE PART I THINK WHERE IT GOES BACK TO US IS ASSUMING GOOD INTENT. RIGHT. SO EVEN IF YOUR IDEA OF STEWARDSHIP IS ABOUT HOW YOU DEFINE RIGHT AND GOOD STEWARDSHIP ON MY OPINION MIGHT BE LIKE, YOU KNOW, WELL, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO DO THIS, THIS OR THAT BECAUSE OF THESE REASONS. REGARDLESS, IT'S ABOUT KNOWING, HEY, THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW YOU'RE CHOOSING TO REPRESENT IT. AND I AND I RESPECT THAT BECAUSE THAT'S HOW LIKE I HAVE TO ASSUME GOOD INTENT WITH THAT. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT A KEY PART OF BEING A GOOD STEWARD IS IN THIS. AND WHY WE HAVE THAT IS BECAUSE WE'RE NEVER, EVER LIKE, THERE IS NO WAY THAT WE'RE ALL GOING TO AGREE ON. LIKE, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE MEAN, THAT WE WANT TO HAVE AS A COUNCIL WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT OUR CITY FINANCIALS. SO I THINK THE BEST THING THAT YOU CAN DO IS KIND OF SET THAT EXPECTATION AND STANDARD OF LIKE, HEY, EVEN IF OUR APPROACHES ARE DIFFERENT, ULTIMATELY WE'RE ALWAYS STRIVING TO BE GOOD AND FAITHFUL STEWARDS OF THE CITY'S RESOURCES. AND THAT I UNDERSTAND. MY POINT IS, IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE EACH THINK THAT IS, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD DISCUSSION JUST TO BE LIKE, WELL, I THINK IT'S THIS. SO THAT WAY WHEN WE DISAGREE, WE UNDERSTAND, WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE WE'RE COMING FROM. LIKE FOR ME, IT IS STEWARD IS MAKING SURE WE SPEND MONEY ON OUR NEEDS. RIGHT.

SO JUST GETTING IT DOESN'T HAVE TO AGREE. I NEVER I DON'T AGREE WITH IS NOT WHAT MY GOAL IS.

IT'S AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE EACH BELIEVE, FAITHFUL STEWARDS OF THE CITY'S RESOURCES NEEDS. AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO CODIFY WHATEVER, WE'RE JUST GOING TO DISCUSS IT. SO I UNDERSTAND WHY ME AND MIKE MAY NOT AGREE ON A TOPIC OR THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO SPEND SOME MONEY. I THINK IT'S GOING TO VARY, ESPECIALLY ON DIFFERENT ISSUES.

I'M SAYING IT'S GOING TO VARY. YES, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT. I WANT TO KNOW WHY. SO THAT WAY I GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE EACH OF US UNDERSTAND THAT WAY THAT TAKES OUT ANY ASSUMPTIONS, OR IT HELPS US TO TRUST EACH OTHER MORE, IS BECAUSE I NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN BY A GOOD STEWARD OF OF CITY'S RESOURCES. IT'S A DISCUSSION. IT'S NOT TO DEFINE. RIGHT. SO SO YOU SAID YEAH. LIKE TO YOU IT MEANS WHAT FEELING LIKE MAKING SURE THAT OUR NEEDS ARE MET AND NOT SPENDING MONEY ON THINGS THAT ARE OUR WANTS WHEN WE HAVE SO MANY NEEDS. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. SO THEN MY QUESTION WOULD BE TO LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER DARBY IS WHAT IS YOUR IDEA OF, YOU KNOW, BEING THE FAITHFUL CITY'S RESOURCES? BECAUSE MY NEEDS ARE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT THAN YOUR WANTS, AND MY WANTS ARE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT FROM YOUR NEEDS. OKAY.

SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT. AND SO WE COULD GO ON AND ON, JUST LIKE WE WERE JUST HAVING A BRIEF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE WORD, JUST IN A SENSE, WHAT IT MEANS TO CLAUDIA MEANS A SPECIFIC WAY. BUT WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE REASONING WHY WE'RE DOING THAT, AND SAME THING WITH THE FINANCES. YES, WE SHOULD ALL LOOK AT WHAT THE CITY NEEDS.

THE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS SHOULD BE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, HOW DOES THAT CONFLICT WITH THE NEEDS OF THE OR THE WANTS OF THE CITY TO MOVE FORWARD ON BEHALF OF THE RESIDENTS? SO I KNOW A LOT OF IT COMES DOWN TO THE MONEY. THAT'S ALL THAT THAT'S ALL IT COMES DOWN TO, IS THE MONEY. BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE ALL THESE GREAT PARKS, WE COULD HAVE ALL THESE GREAT SIDEWALKS, WE COULD HAVE ALL THESE GREAT INCENTIVES ABOUT THE TRANSIT AND THE ECONOMIC PART OF IT ALL. WE CAN HAVE ALL THESE GREAT THINGS WITH THE MUSEUMS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

BUT WHAT DOES IT ALL COME DOWN TO? THE MONEY, HOW WE SPEND IT? SO YOUR NEEDS ON HOW TO SPEND

[04:05:01]

AND THAT'S WHAT THAT BIBLICAL PHRASE WAS ABOUT. HELPING THAT ENTITY THAT THE LANDOWNER HAD TO THRIVE. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. YES, THAT'S YOUR THOUGHT. AND THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S GREAT. NO, I KNOW WHY YOU HOPEFULLY MAKE THE VOTES THAT YOU DO. SO I'M GOING TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION IF WE DON'T AGREE. AND SO I THINK THAT HOPEFULLY CAUSES LESS CONFLICT, IF I MAY JUST ADD, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THE DOWNTOWN PROPERTIES, WHEN I STATED IN MY POSTING OF THE REASON WHY WE WERE WE DID THAT WAS BECAUSE, AGAIN, THE NEEDS FROM THE CITY WERE STATING BEFORE THAT WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO EXPAND OUR AREA. PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE DOWNTOWN LOOKS HORRIBLE. WE'VE ALREADY MENTIONED THAT THESE BUILDINGS WERE FALLING APART. WHATEVER THE CASE WAS THERE, THE TIME AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT TO WHERE IT MAY NOT BE IN MY TIME ON COUNCIL, BUT IF IT'S FUTURE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF REDOING OUR DOWNTOWN AND MAKING IT A GOOD, SAFE PLACE FOR OUR RESIDENTS MOVING FORWARD, THEN THAT'S WHY I TOOK THAT VOTE. BECAUSE I WASN'T LOOKING JUST FOR ME. I WAS LOOKING FOR THE FUTURE OF WHAT OUR DOWNTOWN COULD BE. ON THE OTHER HAND, GOT CRUCIFIED FOR IT BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED AND AGAIN, IDENTIFY WHAT WASTEFUL SPENDING IS, BECAUSE, AGAIN, THERE'S SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE FEELING LIKE YOU GUYS SHOULDN'T HAVE SPENT ALL THIS MONEY AND YOU'RE WASTING MONEY, YOU'RE SPENDING ALL THIS AND THERE'S NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT, I GET IT. BUT AGAIN, LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE, THIS IS THE INVESTMENT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE FOR OUR FUTURE LONG TERM ON THAT END. AND SO I'M JUST GOING TO KIND OF USE THAT AS A PRIME EXAMPLE ON THAT. WAS THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT CAME OUT WITH PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES? OF COURSE THEY DID. WAS I SLANDERED, WAS I CRUCIFIED ON FACEBOOK? OF COURSE I WAS, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW SOME PEOPLE ARE. THAT'S WHAT THEY DO, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. BUT IN MY SENSE, THAT WAS THE REASONING WHY I MADE THAT DECISION. IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN POPULAR, BUT I HAD TO USE MY BEST JUDGMENT AT THE TIME THAT I FELT BEING A GOOD STEWARD FOR LONG TERM GROWTH FOR OUR CITY MAY NOT BE FOR NOW, BUT FOR THE FUTURE RESIDENTS THAT ARE HERE THAT ARE GOING TO WANT TO STAY HERE AND INVEST IN OUR CITY AND TAKE PRIDE IN OUR CITY. IF THERE'S ANYBODY THAT SHOULD BE AGAINST DEVELOPMENT, IT SHOULD BE ME. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE I'VE LIVED HERE ALL MY LIFE. I'M THIRD GENERATION TOBIAS. MY FAMILY'S BEEN HERE SINCE 1917. SO DID I ASK FOR ALL Y'ALL TO

[04:10:08]

[04:15:02]

RIGHT. HOW FAR DO WE GO? AS FAR AS YOU KNOW. MAKING DECISIONS BY AND FOR OR, YOU KNOW, JUST LETTING OTHER PEOPLE DECIDE. FOR US THERE'S DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION, LIKE THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF DEPTH TO THAT. ABSOLUTELY. ONE OF THE THINGS I HEARD WHEN I WAS CAMPAIGNING WAS, I'M ELECTING YOU TO MAKE THESE CHOICES. SO YOU GOT TO BALANCE, I'M ELECTING YOU, AND WE GOT TO MAKE A CHOICE VERSUS WHAT THE FEEDBACK THAT WE'RE GETTING. RIGHT. SO FINDING A BALANCE AND THEN I'LL SAY YOU'RE GREAT AT THAT. SO CHANGE YOUR MIND AND BE REMINDED I APPRECIATE I APPRECIATE THAT AND I YOU. I THINK IT IS ABOUT MANAGING OUR FINANCES. I AGREE WITH THE CARE AND RESPONSIBILITY PART OF IT, ALONG WITH BEING SMART AND INTENTIONAL ABOUT HOW IT IS THAT THAT WE'RE SPENDING OUR FUNDS AND LIKE ALSO INCLUDING A LEVEL OF DISCERNMENT WITH THAT. I THINK TO ME, THAT'S THAT'S AND I KNOW I'VE SAID THAT I THINK YESTERDAY AND FRIDAY AS WELL, BUT I THINK DISCERNMENT IS A LOT OF WHAT WE DO, BECAUSE DISCERNMENT ALSO MEANS THAT YOU MAY BE PRIVY TO KNOWLEDGE THAT PEOPLE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO, FOR WHATEVER REASONS THAT WE DO. AND SO YOU ARE MAKING THIS DECISION BASED ON YOU BEING ABLE TO DISCERN. I UNDERSTAND THIS MAY BE UNPOPULAR RIGHT NOW, BUT I PROMISE YOU IT'S IN YOUR BEST INTEREST. AND I THINK THAT'S A LOT OF HOW I LOOK AT IT. THERE IS THE NURTURING ASPECT TO IT THAT COUNCILMEMBER MOLINA SAID. AND THAT, LIKE, I ALSO WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE I'M ALSO THINKING ABOUT RESIDENTS OR PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE WHO MAYBE DON'T CONTRIBUTE TO OUR TAX BASE. LIKE I'M TALKING ABOUT KIDS, RIGHT? LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE THEY'RE ESSENTIAL TO. AND SO BEING ABLE TO CREATE A FUTURE FOR THEM AS WELL IS SOMETHING THAT I ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND. AND I THINK, YEAH, I THINK I THINK THAT'S THAT'S ABOUT IT. I THINK I DIDN'T MEAN TO BREAK OFF. NO, NO, THAT WAS TO GET US TO A PLACE WHERE WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHY WE TAKE THESE VOTES. IT WAS A GOOD DISCUSSION. I, I AGREE, I THINK THAT WAS EXCELLENT INPUT TO REMEMBER THAT WE ARE COMING FROM A GOOD PLACE. YES. RIGHT.

AND AND IN LARGE PART IT'S GOING TO BE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS WHETHER YOU GUYS AGREE.

AND GUESS WHAT? IF YOU ALL AGREE TO EVERYTHING AND ALL THOUGHT THE SAME WAY, NUMBER ONE, BE VERY, VERY SCARED BECAUSE YOU'RE MISSING SOMETHING. AND NUMBER TWO, THEY DON'T NEED SEVEN OF YOU TO COME UP HERE AND DO THIS IF YOU'RE ALL IN AGREEMENT. ONE OF MY FAVORITE HISTORICAL FIGURES IS GENERAL GEORGE PATTON, AND I'VE GOT DOZENS OF QUOTES FROM THAT GUY THAT ARE FAVORITES. BUT ONE OF THEM IS, IF EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM IS THINKING THE SAME, THEN NOT EVERYBODY'S THINKING, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT. AND I, I GOTTA SAY, FROM AN OUTSIDER'S PERSPECTIVE, IT CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE AT TIMES, BUT I REALLY LOVE YOUR PASSION, ALL OF YOU, AND I RESPECT IT A GREAT DEAL. MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT SOMETIMES, BUT BUT I THINK IT'S GREAT. SO TO BREAK DOWN THE SO I JUST PUT THE GOALS ALL ON ONE PAGE, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S NICE TO SEE HOW THEY INTERACT AND THEY ALL CARRY A LITTLE DIFFERENT

[04:20:04]

THAT WAS A GOOD USE OF MY TIME. YOU WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH CREATING A SHARED COLLECTIVE VISION, UNDERSTANDING EVERYONE'S PERSONAL VISION, ACHIEVING A FLOW STATE WHICH MEANS YOU'RE OPERATING WITHOUT HAVING TO THINK ABOUT IT. YOU'RE KIND OF JUST DOING IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN EXPERT. IT'S ALL COMFORTABLE AND FAMILIAR. FIND COMMON AND UNCOMMON GROUND AND LEARN HOW TO WORK TOGETHER. GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER A LITTLE BETTER, APPRECIATE HOW THE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE LEARNING AND HOW TO HELP MOVE FORWARD. BUILD TRUST.

GET DIRECTION ON HIGH LEVEL PROJECTS, UNDERSTAND DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES OR BEHAVIORAL STYLES AND HOW TO COMMUNICATE BETTER. REPRESENT YOUR SUPPORTERS. HOW DOES HOW TO REPRESENT YOUR SUPPORTERS? HOW DOES THAT FIT IN THE SERVICE OF THE WHOLE CITY? AND GET SOME REAL CLARITY BETWEEN STAFF AND COUNCIL? I THINK WITHOUT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FLOW STATE, I THINK WE'VE MADE PROGRESS ON ALL OF THAT. AND I HOPE YOU AGREE, BECAUSE I FIGURED OUT WHAT FLOW STATE WAS. I KNOW NOW I'M A COOL KID. ALABAMA, KANSAS, ALABAMA. YEAH, IT'S A FLOW STATE. MY EXPECTATIONS IN, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE THING IS THAT YOU ASSUME POSITIVE INTENT FROM EVERYBODY. YOU ACTIVELY LISTEN TO, UNDERSTAND AND KEEP AN OPEN MIND. USE THE RADICAL CANDOR MODEL. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE BEFORE THEY CARE HOW MUCH YOU KNOW. STAY ON TRACK AND FOCUS. ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE AND HAVE FUN.

HOPEFULLY YOU HAD A LITTLE BIT OF FUN. THE REST OF IT, I THINK YOU DID. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IT MAKES MY JOB EASIER. YOU DID GREAT WORK. I'M GOING TO TYPE THIS UP. WE'LL GET ALL THE SLIDES OUT TO YOU WITH ALL THE WORK PRODUCT, BUT GIVE YOURSELF A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. YOU GUYS.

I THINK YOU DID GREAT, QUITE HONESTLY. AND I THINK HOPEFULLY YOU DO TOO. SO WITH THAT, I'LL KICK IT OVER TO WHOEVER WANTS TO MAKE CLOSING REMARKS. I HAVE A COUPLE COMMENTS. FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU GUYS AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR TIME. I DO THINK WE GOT A LOT OF WORK ACCOMPLISHED. WE GOT A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION FROM YOU. FROM THE STAFF PERSPECTIVE, I FEEL LIKE WE WERE CHATTING IN THE HALLWAY A LITTLE BIT. WE'VE GOT SOME GOOD DIRECTION OF SOME THINGS THAT YOU WANT US TO DO, AND I FEEL MUCH BETTER ABOUT WHERE WE'RE GOING AS A TEAM TO BRING THINGS FORWARD. SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL OF THAT. I ALSO WANT TO THANK RICK. RICK RICK DID A GREAT JOB. SO LET'S GIVE EVERYONE. THIS. THIS DOES NOT JUST HAPPEN WHERE YOU JUST KIND OF WALK IN AND JUST GO THROUGH THIS. IT TAKES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PLANNING AND WORK BEFOREHAND TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. SO HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB DOING THAT. ALSO THE TEAM AMBER, JESSIE, AMY, WE'VE ALL WORKED HARD TO DO THAT. SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL YOUR WORK. BUT REALLY I HOPE THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT. HEY, JENNIFER, THANKS FOR TAKING GREAT NOTES OVER THERE. AND WE'LL BE DEBRIEFING AND COMING BACK AND MAKING SURE WE'RE TRACKING EACH ONE OF THESE AND MOVING THEM FORWARD. SO THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH. MAYOR, I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD ANYTHING TO SAY. I THINK WE DID TERRIFIC JOB. AND I WAS NERVOUS FOR A WHILE WHEN I BROUGHT UP THE QUESTION AND I WAS LIKE, DID I JUST MAKE A MISTAKE? BECAUSE I DON'T THINK PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD. BUT THE WAY IT ENDED, I THINK, WAS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND AND TO MOVE FORWARD AND TO TO BE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT UNITED AS FAR AS, LIKE WE'RE ALL GOING TO AGREE. BUT I THINK WORKING COLLECTIVELY TOGETHER, HOPEFULLY MOVING FORWARD WILL BE A LITTLE BIT EASIER. SO GOOD JOB. AND I JUST NEED TO ADJOURN. WELL HANG ON YOU ALL. Y'ALL WANT TO TAKE ONE LAST LOOK AT THE JUST I JUST ADJUST MY MEMORY RIGHT. ADJUST REWRITE. WE'RE READY TO END JESSIE. NOW. WE'RE GOING TO DANGEROUS I APPRECIATE IT. JUST SAY YES. YES. JUST SAY YES. I WANT TO SEE IT UP. I HAVE ONE THING. LAST THING TO SAY. WE MAY. I MADE A JOKE ON FRIDAY THAT MY BIRTHDAY WISH HAD COME TRUE. BECAUSE I GET TO SPEND THE WEEKEND WITH YOU GUYS, AND IT'S REALLY NOT A JOKE. I AM GRATEFUL FOR BEING ABLE TO BE HERE AND AND EXPERIENCE THIS WITH YOU GUYS. THANKS. AND THERE'S TWO CHOICES THAT YOU HAVE IN LIFE. YOU CAN BE GRATEFUL OR YOU CAN BE ENTITLED. SO EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU CAN FEEL LIKE IT'S OWED TO YOU OR YOU CAN BE GRATEFUL FOR IT. AND I'VE BEEN WORKING ON MY GRATITUDE LIST AND TRYING TO BE MORE GRATEFUL IN MY LIFE, SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT.

THANK YOU RICK. WE APPRECIATE IT. I'M GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU HERE. YOU'RE YOU'RE YOU'RE PART OF THE FAMILY. DON'T WORRY. SO WE GOT SO JUST A LITTLE REWRITE FROM THE FROM THE JUST I THINK

[04:25:02]

THOSE LAST COUPLE ITEMS WITH EVERY RESIDENT AND EQUITABLE ACCESS AND FAIRNESS. DO WE FEEL LIKE THAT COVERS MOVING IT OR. NO, NO, NO. SO DO WE WANT TO GO BACK TO JUST PUTTING JUST IN THERE OR DO WE WANT TO TRY AND REWORK IT AGAIN? NOT NECESSARILY RIGHT NOW, BUT I GUESS MY COMPROMISE WOULD BE MAYBE THE WORD JUST DOESN'T HAVE TO BE IN THERE, BUT THAT'S NOT HOW I WOULD DESCRIBE. OKAY. YEAH. SO LIKE I DON'T KNOW IF LIKE WE WANT TO LIKE TAKE A SECOND AND LIKE WHERE I CAN JUST VOCALIZE SOME OF IT TO YOU AND WORK ON SOMETHING AND THEN WE CAN BRING IT BACK. YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT. I MEAN, DOESN'T HAVE TO BE. NOW, CAN YOU SAY IS KYLE IS A SAFE? WELL, I KIND OF WANT TO DEFINE JUST RIGHT. SO IF YOU SAY IT'S JUST BY BEING AND THEN DEFINE IT. YEAH. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET AT IS LIKE, CAN CAN WE GET LIKE.

YEAH. SO WE CAN I MEAN, UNLESS COUNCIL WANTS TO DO IT NOW AND LIKE WORKSHOP THE LAST THING WE DO. BUT WE COULD, WE COULD GET TOGETHER, PUT SOMETHING IN THERE AND THEN SEND IT TO COUNCIL AND SEE IF IT'S, IF IT'S IF YOU GUYS GET TO COME BACK TO YOU AGAIN. BUT YEAH, THAT'S TRUE. IT WILL COME BACK THROUGH THE BUDGET. WE COULD TRY TO GET SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY'S COMFORTABLE. HOW ABOUT WE DO THAT. WE'LL WORK ON IT OFFLINE AND THEN IT'LL COME BACK THROUGH THE BUDGET. AND YOU GUYS WILL I'M SURE YOU'LL REMEMBER IT. YEAH. AS WE BRING IT BACK FORWARD, I THINK THAT WORD IS VERY IMPORTANT TO COUNCIL MEMBER. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I TRY TO GET IT IN THERE SOMEWHERE. LIKE IT'S A FAIR COMPROMISE TO LEAVE IT IN THERE SOMEWHERE. BUT YEAH, WE'LL GET IT. WE'LL GET IT AS A MATTER OF JUST WHERE LIKE YEAH.

RIGHT IN THE SENTENCE. I MEAN, I LIKE I SAID, I'VE GOT NO PROBLEM WITH THE WORD. I JUST IS IT NEED TO DOES IT NEED TO BE. YEAH. MAYBE. YEAH. MAYBE IT JUST NEEDS TO BE IN ANOTHER.
