[2. Department updates.]

[00:07:52]

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. KUDOS TO YOU FOR PULLING THAT OFF.

[00:08:00]

>> AWESOME, THANK YOU. WE HAVE STAFF WORKING REALLY HARD ON IT AND I NOW WITH OUR JUDGES THEY LOOK SO WELL AT THE FLOATS AND THEY REALIZE WE WERE MISSING A CATEGORY.

NOW WE HAVE A BEST CARD CATEGORY. THANK YOU FOR THE JUDGE THAT CAME OUT. WE HAD SOMEONE FROM OUR BOARD AND WE HAD SOME AMOUNT FROM THE TOURISM BOARD AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. IT WAS NEAT HAVING OUR DIFFERENT COMMISSIONS COMING TOGETHER TO COLLABORATE ON SOMETHING.

>> THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT BECAUSE I'LL TELL YOU WHAT. WE HAVE A THINK FIVE DIFFERENT CAR ENTRIES FOR DIFFERENT CLUBS AND SOME OF THEM WERE BEAUTIFUL BUT THEY DIDN'T FALL IN ANY OF THE CATEGORIES. THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T DO A LOT OF WORK FOR THOSE CARS AND I KNOW THE LAST WAS 104 I BELIEVE.

THE CARS WERE LIT UP AND I SAID WOW AND THE OTHER ENDS WERE BOUNCING AROUND.

WE TALKED ABOUT IT. >> THERE'S JUST AS MUCH PRIDE AND EFFORT THAT GOES INTO THE CLUBS AND DECORATING FOR THEM AS THE REST OF THE FLOAT. YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO RECOGNIZE PEOPLE WHEN THEY GO THAT EXTRA MILE. IT'S FOR THE COMMUNITY TO.

>> I WANTED TO SAY THAT I'VE WATCHED IT ON FACEBOOK AND THEY DID SUCH A GOOD JOB.

CHERYL, JOHNNY AND JOEL DOING THE LIVE COMMENTARY AND THE COLOR COMMENTARY WAS VERY ENTERTAINING AND MADE IT WORTHWHILE. IT WAS JUST REALLY WELL DONE.

I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY THAT WAS DRESSED UP AND ENGAGED WITH THE WHOLE ACTIVITIES SO KUDOS TO

EVERYONE. >> IT'S A BIG +2 FOR THE ELDERLY THAT CAME BECAUSE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO WALK AND THAT'S A GOOD PLUS TO ME. IT REALLY DID TAKE THE ENTIRE CITY. WE HAD MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS THAT WERE FULLY ENGAGED WITH THAT AND WE HEARD A LOT OF THAT POSITIVE FEEDBACK ABOUT THE LIVE STREAMING SO THANK YOU.

[00:10:06]

>> NOT EVEN THE GUYS CLEANING UP AFTERWARDS. THEY WERE OTHER PICKING IT UP RIGHT AWAY IT'S LIKE WHAT YOU SEE IN NEW YORK AFTER THE NEW YEAR'S.

. AS SOON AS THE PRETTY SON IT'S THE CLEANING CREW BECAUSE BUSINESS HAS TO GO BACK TOMORROW. I'M SURE THE PEOPLAPPRECIATED

NOT HAVING TRASH ON THEIR CURBS. >> WE HAD ABOUT 35 PERPARKS AND REC CREW SUPPORTING . I WANT TO SAY ABOUT OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION WAS OUT THERE PUTTING OUT LIVE STREAMING AND IT REALLY WAS THE DEPARTMENTS. WE BORROWED 17 WALKIE-TALKIES FOR THEM BECAUSE WE DON'T REGULARLY USE THEM THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

IT WAS REALLY GREAT. IT WAS OUT THERE HELPING SO HR WITH CHERYL.

EVERYBODY. >> TO PIGGYBACK OFF OF THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW IS THAT WE ARE STARTING TO LOOK AT OUR LARGER GATHERINGS WITH OVER 1000 PEOPLE WE'RE WORKING WITH THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT TEAM SO WE HAVE THOSE IN PLACE WHENEVER IT DOES COME DOWN TO LARGER ARGER EVENTS WE HAD EVERYBODY IN ONE BUILDING MAKING SURE THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES SO I WANT YOU TO BE AWARE OF THAT BECAUSE OF THE CERTAIN THINGS THAT HAPPENED THROUGHOUT THIS WORLD UNFORTUNATELY AND SO WE WANT TO PREPARE FOR THAT AS

BEST WE CAN. JUST FYI. >> WE DO BRIEFINGS WITH THEM AND WE WRITE UP OUR PLANS. FOR BOTH THE CHRISTMAS EVENTS WE HAD WE SAW THE PLAN IN PLACE JUST IN CASE SOMETHING DID. WHEN WE MEET THIS WEEK TO GO OVER TASK AND AS WE KEEP ADDING

MORE EVENTS AND BIGGER EVENTS WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. >> AWESOME.THANK YOU

[1. Introduce Golf Professional Rolando Hernandez.]

I GUESS I CAN BRING UP ROLANDO NOW. I WILL STILL HAVE THUNDER AND TALK REALLY QUICKLY ABOUT THE GOLF COURSE DIVISION. I APOLOGIZE ABOUT THE YELLOW IT'S REALLY HARD TO SEE IT THERE. NONETHELESS I WANTED TO AT LEAST SHOW YOU WHAT THE NOVEMBER ENDED UP CLOSING OUT AT.

WE HAD $80,340 AND LOOK LIKE TOTAL REVENUE AND IN NOVEMBER LOOKS LIKE WE HAD 97 TOURNAMENT ROUNDS AND ABOUT 174 PRACTICE ROUNDS WHICH GAVE US ABOUT $2437 FOR THE MONTH.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARD TO SEE EVEN ON MY SCREEN. 1218 LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE PARKER AND THEN OF COURSE ON CHRISTMAS DAY WE ARE GOING TO BE CLOSED SUCH AS KIND OF A HEAD'S UP FOR YOU GOLFERS OUT THERE IF YOU TRY TO COME TO THE COURSE WILL SHUT DOWN ON CHRISTMAS.

OTHER THAN THAT THE GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE DIVISION IS JUST REALLY KIND OF DOING THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT'S SLOW GOING IF YOU WILL.

THEY ARE JUST CONTINUING TO MAINTAIN THE FAIRWAYS AND THE GREENS.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THE GOLF COURSE? >> IN REGARDS TO THE GOLF COURSE ARE THERE ANY PROGRAMS WITH LOW INCOME FAMILIES WANTING TO JOY.

IS IT JUST SINGLE ASSETS OR CAN YOU BUY FAMILY MEMBERSHIPS AND IF YOU CAN DO THOSE MEMBERSHIPS ARE THERE ANY PROGRAMS THAT HELP PEOPLE WHO LIKE GOLF BUT PERHAPS MAY NOT HAVE THAT EXTRA INCOME TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT JUST A SPORT LIKE BASKETBALL THAT YOU CAN PICK UP AND GO SHOOT FOR THE MOST PART NEED A FACILITY TO GO PRACTICE INTO THAT.

>> THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE NO WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING

LIKE THAT. >> NOT A FREE PROGRAM. OUR SHORT GAME AREA IS WE DO HAVE A PRACTICE AREA THAT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC JUST AS THE HOLE GOLF COURSE IS BUT THAT PRACTICE AREA CONSISTS OF A SHORT GAME GAME AREA SO THAT IS THE USABLE AREA AT ANY TIME THAT WOULD REQUIRE BRINGING YOUR OWN GOLF BALLS IN THAT AREA.

AT THAT IS THAT EVERYTHING IS PAY FOR THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I'M WORKING ON AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOW INCOME PROGRAM. THEY ARE NOT FAMILY PASSES AND ARE GOES INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIPS BASED ON OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND WHAT WE TRY TO ACHIEVE WITH THE GOLF COURSE.

[00:15:02]

PLAN FOR THAT. WE'RE JUST NOT THERE YET. >> CAN YOU SEE HOW THERE MIGHT

BE BECAUSE THERE MAY BE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO PLAY GOLF. >> FOR SPONSORING ONE OR TWO PETS HERE JUST BE CREATIVE PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS A TIME I LOVE GOLF AND I JUST COULDN'T AFFORD TO GO FOR TWO YEARS. I WAS ALMOST THERE BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO SPEAK UP

ON THAT. >> SURE, SPEAKING ABOUT THE PRACTICE GOLF COURSES SEVEN DOLLARS TO PLAY. YOU CAN PLAY THAT FOR SEVEN DOLLARS AND IT'S ANOTHER FIVE DOLLARS TO TAKE A GOLF COURSE OF HER 12 DOLLARS YOU COULD PLAY THAT WITH.

>> IT'S REALLY EFFECTIVE. THAT LITTLE PRACTICE AREAS AWESOME.

WE TRY TO ADD A COUPLE MORE HOLES BACK TO THAT TO SOMETHING THAT'S GOOD AND GETTING BETTER

STILL SO DEFINITELY A GOOD WAY TO GET OUT THERE FOR SURE. >> SEVEN BUCKS TO PLAY.

>> AT THAT I'M SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW. >> 374 PRACTICE ROUNDS AND PLAYS ON THE PRACTICE COURSE. I DO TRACK THOSE WE KNOW MUCH PLAY WERE GETTING.

WHETHER IT'S SUMMER AND WINTER WHEN PEOPLE ARE USING THOSE THINGS.

>> AT LEAST TYPES OF PLAYERS TO SIMPLY A NUMBER AND A TALLY MARK ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE

OUT THERE. >> IS GOOD TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT AND GET SOME SWINGS FOR THE

PROJECT. I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THAT. >> WANT TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP A GOOD VALUE FOR THE GOLF COURSE. THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY.

>> YOU HAVE PEOPLE INQUIRING ABOUT RENTAL SET FOR PEOPLE COMING THAT DON'T HAVE CLUBS?

>> RENTAL SETS HAVE BEEN IN MY BUDGET THE PAST YEARS AND THEY HAVE YET TO BE APPROVED BUT WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO THAT POINT. IT IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN INCLUDED IN MY BUDGET THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT GETS CRESTLINE THROUGH BUT I WILL KEEP THIS ON THERE FOR SURE BECAUSE THERE IS AN AVENUE FOR THAT. THERE'S A CHANCE TO SET OUT RENTAL SETS AND MAKE OUR RETURN BACK ON THAT PURCHASE. THAT'S DEFINITELY IN THE PLANS TO GET ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE

NOT QUITE THERE YET. >> HAVE YOU READ THE WALKING CARDS AS WELL AS THE DRIVABLE

CARDS? >> I HAVE A COUPLE THAT WE LINE OUT THAT ARE PROVIDED FROM ONE OF MY VENDORS THAT HAVE BEEN A GOOD BUDDY OF MINE. IT'S OUT OF MY GARAGE AND WE TAKE THEM OUT TO KIDS. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CHARGE FOR THAT WE CAN PAY FOR SO WE PASS THAT ALONG SO WERE DEFINITELY MORE INTERESTED IN THE GREEN FEES THAT WE ARE CHARGING FOR A POOL CARD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IN THE FUTURE AS WE ADD TO THE RENTAL SET THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE WILL ADD TO THAT SMALL FLEET OF POOL CARDS.

AND WE DO THAT I KNOW THEY ARE FRESH AND CLEAN WILL PUT SOME KIND OF PRICE TAG OR RENTAL FEE

FOR THEM. >> I WAS WONDERING CAN BE FUN. >> STICKING IT TO THE GOLF COURSE. PEOPLE HAVE TRIED. WE'VE HAD PEOPLE THAT COME IN THE GOLF COURSE DOWN AT GROVERS. IT HELPS ME PUT A GEO-FENCE ACROSS THE GOLF COURSE AND WE'RE WORKING ON THAT RIGHT NOW.

>> PEOPLE DRIVE THEM OVER THE ROAD TRYING TO GET GOLF GPS IS SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING ON IT HOPING TO ISSUE. YOU CAN TAKE THEM OUT TO THE PARK NOT AT LEAST.

>> THANK YOU SIR. >> WOULD BE STEALING ASHLEY'S THUNDER TOO.

>> IS GIVING US OUTLOOK. >> ONE QUICK QUESTION JASON. THE TOTAL TODAY ON THE NUMBERS THAT YOU GIVE THE REVENUE NUMBERS. THAT'S FISCAL YEAR TO DATE? THE CITY FISCAL YEARS THAT WHAT THAT IS? WHAT THAT MEANT TODAY.

[00:20:14]

THAT WE DON'T HAVE CRAZY NUMBERS LOOKING AT YOU. THAT IS FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF

NOVEMBER. >> WHAT IS GOLF CAPITAL REPLACED CHARGE?

>> USER GOLF COURSE PROFESSIONAL. ROLANDO REALLY OVERSEES THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS OF THE CLUB. THE WAY I LOOK AT IT THOSE GUYS WORK HAND-IN-HAND TOGETHER REALLY WELL AND ARE A HUGE ASSET TO KNOWING THE CITY BUT OBVIOUSLY THE GOLF COURSE. WITHOUT FURTHER DO HERE YOU GO ROLANDO.

>> A CAPITAL REPLACEMENT FEE IS AN EXPERT ON THAT WE CONFINSIDE OF THE FEE SO WE HAVE A PREDETERMINED SET OF FEES EACH YEAR AND ONSET OF THAT NUMBER WE PULL ONE DOLLAR BACK AND PUT IT BACK INTO THE CAPITAL REPLACEMENT FEE WHICH IS BASICALLY A SAVINGS ACCOUNT THAT WE ARE TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER SO AS WE MOVE ALONG THESE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS WE CAN BUILD SAVINGS TO THE BACK INTO THE GOLF COURSE WITHOUT REALLY DIGGING INTO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS OR GENERAL FUND OR OUR OWN FUN THAT WE ARE CREATING AT THIS POINT WHICH GIVES US MONEY THAT WE CAN USE AT SOME POINT AS WE GET INTO SOME OF THESE PROJECTS FOR THE GOLF COURSE. THAT WAS SOMETHING WANTED TO PUT IN WHEN WE INITIALLY GOT GOING INDEFINITELY FOR THIS IS WHERE THE LINE ITEM TO WORK OFF OF.

>> IS THAT IT? >> THANKS MAN. >> WHO INTRODUCED HIM FORMALLY

NEXT TIME. >> IS A COMMUNITY CENTER REALLY QUICKLY WE HAVE OVER THE LAST MONTH ABOUT 25 RENTALS IS ONE OF THOSE COME FROM THE CITY OF VICTORIA AND 13 BEING ON CITY RENTALS. SOME OF THE CITIES VERSUS NON-CITY FUNCTIONS ARE LISTED IN THE SIDE OF THAT COLUMN. CITY FUNCTIONS INCLUDE RECREATION PROGRAMS AND TRAININGS INCLUDING WEDDINGS, CONTINUE AND BANQUETS. ONE OF THE FACILITY PROJECTS THAT WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK ON IS THE EFFECT DESIGN FOR THE DOME.

THAT STILL UNDERGOING WITH ENGINEERING. >> ANY QUESTIONS ON THE

COMMUNITY CENTER? >> HAVE WE HAD ANY MORE THOUGHT ON THE RECREATION QUESTION REVENUE PERHAPS IT WAS DISCUSSED NOT ADDING A RECREATION CENTER IN VICTORIA BUT CONVERTING THE COMMUNITY CENTER INTO ONE. THAT'S SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN. THEY'RE STILL ABLE TO HAVE THE DANCES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE. AS FAR AS A COMMUNITY CENTER WHY THE RESTROOMS LOCKED? WHAT ARE THEY ALWAYS STAY LOCKED?

>> IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER PARK? >> IN THE AREA AND IS A SPLASH

PAD IT'S ALWAYS LOCKED. >> SO THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS THERE.

FIRST THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS WORKING WITH A RECREATION DIVISION AND WE DEFINITELY WANT TO UTILIZE THE COMMUNITY CENTER MORE FOR RECREATION PROGRAMS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALIZED THIS MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY HOW WELL-OFF WE COULD USE THE COMMUNITY CENTER JUST BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF RENTALS THAT WE HAVE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

WE WANT TO CONTINUE THE TREND AND EXPAND MORE. QUITE FRANKLY WE FILLED OUR SUPERINTENDENT POSITION I WILL INTRODUCE THAT PERSON TO YOU IN FEBRUARY BUT NONETHELESS HE JUST STARTED THIS PAST WEEK AND HAS ARTIE MADE SOME TREMENDOUS STRIDES WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE GAPS IN SERVICES AND THAT IS DEFINITELY PART OF THE CONVERSATION WHICH IS WHAT CAN

WE USE THE COMMITTEE CENTER FOR MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. >> THE SECOND PIECE OF THAT IS THE COMMUNITY CENTER PARK. THE RESTROOMS ARE ANOTHER PIECE THAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW AND WE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS INTERNALLY ABOUT IT. A LOT OF IT HAD TO DO WITH VANDALISM. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN UPTICK IF YOU WILL AND VANDALISM AT THE

[00:25:02]

ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS. >> THEY HAVE TO BE OPEN. THOSE ARE RESTROOMS AND IT'S JUST THEY HAVE TO BE OPEN YOU HAVE ONE SET OF RESTROOMS BY THE BASKETBALL COURT.

YOU CAN DO THE SAME THING FOR BOTH RESTROOMS. IN REGARDS TO REGULARIZATION WHAT IS THAT COST? WHAT DO THEY PAY UP FRONT TO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

MAYBE I WANT TO A WASH THERE WHAT I HAVE TO PAY? >> THOSE ARE UP SPECIFICS AND IF YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME KIND OF TERM WE CAN REACH OUT AND TALK ABOUT THAT.

>> IS NOTHING FOR MOST OF WHAT WE DO IS FORMALIZE A PARTNERSHIP WITH THESE ORGANIZATIONS AND IT CAN BE SOMETHING AS EASY AS THE 73RD SPLIT WHEN IT COMES TO REVENUE OR A 50-50 SPLIT WHICH IS CURRENTLY WHAT WE ARE PARTNERING WITH.

THIS ORGANIZATION OWNS A 50-50 SPLIT. >> YOU HAVE A 50-50 COST?

>> NO, NOT IN THAT REGARD. >> IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU'RE WANTING TO PUT ON THE PHILLY

RISOTTO SINCERE WEEK CAN DO ABOUT MAKING IT HAPPEN. >> I JUST WANT TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION SO WHEN OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THAT IDEA I CAN LET THEM KNOW INSTEAD OF THESE PEOPLE HAVING IDEAS BUT NOWHERE TO GO TO GET THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO DO IT.

>> WITH THOSE CONVERSATIONS YOU USUALLY LOOK LIKE IS SOMEONE FROM THE COMMUNITY OR WE KNOW OF AN ORGANIZATION LIKE A PLAN ON SOMETHING THAT HAS THE RESOURCES WE DON'T WE SIT DOWN WITH THAT ORGANIZER AND SAY THIS IS WHAT WE NEED FROM IT.

THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU PUT ON THIS IS WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO BRING AND WE LOOK AT DOING A 70, 30 SPLIT. WHATEVER IT IS BOTH PARTS OF BEING ABLE TO FULLY COME INTO.

WE USUALLY TAKE THOSE REGISTRATIONS AND WE PAY OUT WITH FORMAL CONTRACTS.

>> WHO THEY REACH OUT TO. >> LATELY IT'S BEEN ME BUT NOW THAT WE HAVE SUPERINTENDENT

WILL BE HIM. >> ANY OF OUR RED COORDINATORS, SOME OF THESE CONVERSATIONS START WITH THEM AND THEY PULL IT UP AND BRING IT WITH TO US.

IT'S JUST MAKING SURE THAT IT'S A BIT THAT FIT IN THAT ORGANIZATION IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO ORGANIZE WITH THEIR R MISSION. WE MAKE SURE THAT IT ALIGNS

WITH WHAT WE ARE WANTING TO OFFER THE COMMUNITY. >> WE'RE ACTUALLY TALKING INTERNALLY ABOUT WHAT KIND OF CRITERIA ARE WE GOING TO PUT UP AGAINST SOME OF THESE PEOPLE

THAT ARE ASKING FOR PARTNERSHIPS. >> CORRECTION IF I HEARD WRONG. ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME THAT IF I WANT TO PUT ON AN EVENT

THERE'S A CERTAIN DIFFERENT FEE THAN JUST RUNNING OUT THE NEXT? >> KNOW, THE EVENT PROGRAM ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. A PROGRAM IS A PROGRAM THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PUT ON FOR THE

COMMUNITY IN REGARDS TO HAVING AN INTERACTIVE ACTIVITY. >> YOU MENTIONED THAT.

>> AN EVENT WE ARE LOOKING AT IS CHRISTMAS ON THE SQUARE. WAR A PARADE.

>> OR IF YOU TALK ABOUT HER WEDDING OR RECEPTIO. >> IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

WHEN IT COMES TO PRIVATE EVENTS VERSUS AN ORGANIZATION THAT WANTS TO PARTNER WITH US ON A PRIVATE PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP SUCH AS BELOW PADDLE THAT THE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BEASTS.

>> YOU CAN HAVE AN EVENT WITH SOMEONE PLAYING CORE HOLE AND YOU CAN JUST PAY THE RENTAL BUT

TO PUT ON A PROGRAM THAT INVOLVES THE PUBLIC WITH WITH T. >> WHO ARE WE ALIGNING WITH?

[00:30:04]

VISION. >> IF ANYONE WITH THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT.

>> FOR CATHOLIC ACTUALLY PUTS ON THE SERVICE. HAVING FLOAT.

SHE GETS MAKE MONEY OFF THAT BECAUSE OF A PRIVATE BUSINESS BUT IT'S A PARTNERSHIP IN THE

BUSINESS. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT PART. >> ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ON

THE COMMUNITY CENTER? >> AGAIN IF THERE ARE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT'S NOT RELATED TO

THIS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME. >> I WANTED TO GIVE YOU QUICK UPDATE ON SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY UNDERTAKING.

WE ARE WORKING ON THE SOCCER FIELDS YOU MAY THINK IT'S COMPLETELY FINISHED BUT THEY ARE NOT. WE HAVE ONE FIELD THAT STILL WAITING TO BE COMPLETED.

WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTOR TO GET THAT COMPLETED.

THE TIMING ON IT IS OFF BECAUSE OF THE WINTERTIME AND SPRING. AS FAR AS THE GRASS GROWING WE'RE LOOKING AT HOPEFULLY FINISHING THAT UP AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE DUCK POND THAT'S UNDER STILL TO PW REVIEW.

WE SHOULD HAVE THAT INFORMATION BACK HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THIS MONTH FROM THE STATE.

NONETHELESS WE'RE WORKING ON THE BIDDING PACKETS. FOR THE SPLASH WE WERE WORKING WITH AN RFP WE TO SCRATCH IT BACK. WE ARE CHANGING THE TO DESIGN BUILD PROPOSAL SO WE'RE FINISHING THAT UP RIGHT NOW I WILL HAVE IT OUT BY THE END OF THE YEAR. AND THEN THE DOG PARK. WE HAD FUNDING AVAILABLE ON OF COURSE WORKING WITH THE GIRL SCOUTS THAT CAME UP AND PRESENTED TO YOU.

WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE DOG PARK PARK CONSULTING PORTION WHICH IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE DONE BY BRETT LOCKE AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE WORKING ON THE DUCK POND.

HE HAS SOME HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE AND SOUND WE'RE ALREADY WORKING ON THAT AND SURVEYS ARE GOING TO BE OUT THERE SOMETIME THIS WEEK STARTING TO CONDUCT THAT TRIANGLE PIECE I PRESENTED TO YOU LAST MONTH. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU SEEN IT OR NOT BUT THERE ARE TOTAL OF SEVEN LED LIGHTS THAT WERE INSTALLED IN PINE STREET PARK.

THAT WAS REALLY AWESOME AND IT WAS A NICE UPGRADE TO THOSE TWO PARKS.

WE ARE ALSO UNDERTAKING OUR FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS WHICH ARE BEING MADE TO RIVERSIDE STADIUM FOR TAFT. THOSE ARE STILL ONGOING AND QUITE FRANKLY WE GOT ABOUT ANOTHER TWO OR THREE WEEKS WORTH OF WORK OUT THERE AND THEY WILL BE WRAPPED UP WITH THAT. THE FACILITIES ASSESSMENT. THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON IN THIS UPCOMING YEAR TO SPECIFIC TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES. THAT WILL HELP GUIDE US EVEN MORE IN THE FUTURE IN REGARDS TO OUR FACILITIES AND WHERE WE NEED TO IMPROVE. ONE OF THE LAST BIG PROJECTS THAT WE ARE WORKING ON IS WORKING WITH THE VICTORIA MAIN STREET PROGRAM AND THEIR CAP ITEMS AS WELL AS MEMORIAL PARK. THOSE ARE JUST THE TOP BIG ONES IF YOU WILL.

>> I NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE THIS. HAS MISTER LYONS NEVER COME

BACK TO YOU? >> I REMEMBER SHE PRESENTED A PRESENTATION OF MARTIN DILLEY ON WITH THE CERTAIN PORTION OF THE PLAZA ASSIGNED THAT THEY COULD USE TO BUILD ABOUT MONUMENT. HAS SHE EVER COME BACK? NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE BUT I WILL CHECK, QUICK SHE CAME HERE AND MADE A PRESENTATION THAT THEY WERE GOING TO PUT THE STATUE

THERE ON THE PLAZA CORNER. >> I WILL REACH OUT TO DANIEL AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY

FOLLOW-UP CONVERSATION FROM THAT END. >> THAT'S EVERYTHING I HAVE IF

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. >> ANYBODY HAVE ANY ADVICE TO

GIVE? >> ALREADY. IF NOT THEN NEXT ON THE AGENDA

A DISCUSSION OF TOP PRIORITIES FOR THE PARKS MASTER PLAN. >> CAN BACK UP JUST A SECOND AND SEE IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR ROLANDO? CAN ROLANDO DO BECAUSE THE

[00:35:14]

RIGHT HERE TOO. >> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. I'M ROLANDO AND I'M THE HEAD GOLF PROFESSIONAL HERE FOR THE GOLF COURSE. I'VE BEEN WITH THE CITY SINCE 2017 WHEN THEY TOOK THE GOLF COURSE BACK OVER. I'VE SEEN IT FROM WHERE IT WAS IN 2017 TO WHERE IT IS NOW. IT'S MUCH BETTER IMPROVED COURSE WISE AND FINANCIALLY.

WE'VE GOT A PRETTY GOOD THING GOING FOR THE GOLF COURSE RIGHT NOW AND ARE IN THE INFANT STAGES OF GROWING AND COLLECTING DATA. WE'RE STILL USING THAT AS A GOAL AND WE WANT TO BE A VALUE FOR THE COMMUNITY WE ALSO HAVE GOOD COURSE CONDITIONS TO THOSE THINGS GO HAND-IN-HAND APPEAR AND I WAS FROM THE AREA. WE MOVE BACK IN 2016 AND GRADUATED FROM UTSA IN 2009 AND I WAS THE HEAD GOLF PROFESSIONAL FROM 2000 AND 10'S 2016. AT THE CLASS A MEMBER SINCE 2014.

ONCE I LEFT TO TAKE A SEPARATE JOB IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY AND OPENED A RESTAURANT AND IT WAS THE OPERATION RESTAURANT MANAGER IN A BAR THAT WE HAD ONE COMMON OWNER.

I HAVE A SON THAT HAS DOWN SYNDROME AND WE WANTED TO MOVE THEM INTO A SMALLER FACILITY.

WHEN MY FATHER PASSED AWAY WE MOVE BACK HERE TO DO BOTH AT ONE TIME.

HELMET ON GIGGLING WITH THE REST OF HER LIFE AND GET MY SON INTO A SMALLER SCHOOL.

WE HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS THAT ARE TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS AND COUNSELORS AND GOOD STUFF SO IT'S A GOOD FEELING TO SEND HIM TO SCHOOL KNOWING THAT HE'S BEING TAKEN CARE OF THE JOB JUST WORKED OUT AT THE SAME TIME SO SOMETIMES THINGS JUST FALL TOGETHER AND WORK OUT.

IT'S BEEN GREAT IN THE PROJECT HAS BEEN AWESOME. MOST OF IT IS STEMMED FROM IMPROVED COURSE CONDITIONS. THE GOLF COURSE WAS PRETTY ROUGH WHEN THE CITY TOOK OVER AT ONE POINT WAS 27 HOMES AND IN THE HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THAT.

THAT'S HOW I PLAYED IT WHEN I WAS GROWING UP. BE GREAT HOLES AT THE TIME THE CITY TOOK OVER IT WAS A MIX OF 18 HOLES OF THE 27. ALMOST EVERYONE WAS DOWN TO TEMPORARY GRAINS THAT BASICALLY THEY JUST HAD A CIRCLE CUT OUT IN THE FAIRWAYS AND WE ARE PUTTING ON FAIRWAY SO FROM THERE TO WHERE WE ARE NOW AS NIGHT AND DAY AND IT'S BEEN AWESOME. THE GOLF COURSE IS DOING WELL AND WOULD BE ABLE TO DO A FEW ADDITIONS OVER THE PAST YEAR AND WE'VE ADDED 20 MORE GOLF CARTS TO OUR FLEET SO STARTED WITH ORIGINAL 50 OF THEM AND WERE ABLE TO ADD 20 MORE TO THEM AND THAT'S JUST HELP WITH A NUMBER OF ROUNDS THAT WE CAN GET IN BUT OVERALL EFFICIENCY FOR THE GOLF COURSE.

WE GOT STUCK IN A PRETTY TIGHT SPOT WHEN CORONAVIRUS HIT A GOLF WITH ONE OF THE FEW OUTDOOR RECREATION THEY YOU CAN GOT INTO REALLY LED TO THIS CONVERSATION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD BE EFFICIENT AND GET PEOPLE OUT TO THE GOLF COURSE. THAT'S REALLY SHOWING ITSELF AS WE WERE BUSY WE WERE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THE BUSYNESS OF THE STAFF.

THEY SAW THE BIGGEST IMPROVEMENTS WHERE THEY WERE RUNNING AROUND LIKE CRAZY UNDERBOSS IN OUR AND THEY HAD BEEN ABLE TO JUST EFFICIENTLY KEEP UP WITH EVERYTHING.

THAT'S BEEN A GREAT CHANGE WE MENTION THE GPS THAT WE WORK ON RIGHT NOW WE GET FINAL APPROVAL TO ADD IT TO THE GOLF CARTS AND AGAIN THAT JUST GIVES US ANOTHER PIECE OF CONTROL AND EFFICIENCY FOR THE GOLF COURSE TO LET THE SNOW WHERE WE ARE AT WE GET A FEW OF THEM HERE THERE THAT ARE NOT TO TREAT THE CARDS AS WELL AS THEY SHOULD. THAT HELPS US TO KEEP TRACK OF SOME OF THOSE THINGS AND GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ADVERTISEMENT.

IT REALLY HELPS US HANG ONTO COURSE CONDITIONS AND A CHANCE TO BLOCK SOME OF THE AREAS WERE DRIVING NOT THAT OF THE GOLF COURSE IN THE FIRST PLACE. A COUPLE OF BIG THINGS.

[00:40:03]

>> WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON HAVING OUR GREENS REDONE. THAT'S BEEN ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR THE CITY JUST KIND OF WAITING ON A GRANT THAT WE ARE WORKING ON TO SEE IF YOU CAN GET SOME OF THAT FUNDED AND PAID FOR. WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN WORKING WITH KATIE OR GRANITE VISOR ON GETTING THAT STUFF DONE. SHE SEND ME OVER A LIST OF THINGS THAT I NEED TO DO SO WE WORKING ON THAT STUFF THE REST OF THIS MONTH.

COOK SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S AWESOME FOR THE GOLF COURSE IN THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE GETTING THROUGH TO THE SCREENS. SUPERINTENDENT BRIAN HAS DONE A GREAT JOB WITH THE OVERALL COURSE CONDITIONS ONCE THEY REALLY CHAIN HIGHLIGHT GOLF COURSE OPERATES AS COURSE CONDITIONS IMPROVE WE'VE SEEN THEM IMPROVE AND PEOPLE THAT TRAVEL AS WELL.

WE SEE PEOPLE THAT ARE, FROM CORPORATE JUST OUTSIDE OF HOUSTON IN SAN ANTONIO SO THERE'S A GOOD HOUR AND-A-HALF RANGE THAT PEOPLE DRIVE AS LONG AS THE GOLF COURSE IS WORTH IT.

IT MAY NOT BE IN A LIFETIME THING. THOSE FOUND ROUNDS THAT ABSOLUTE IMPROVED CONDITIONS WE DEFINITELY SEE ROUNDS GO ALONG WITH IT.

>> ROLANDO LET ME ASK YOU TO THINK THIS INCREASE IN PLAY THAT YOU SAW DURING CORONAVIRUS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL STAY? IT SEEMS HARD FOR ME TO THINK THAT PEOPLE HAVING SPENT MORE

TIME PLAYING THAT THEY WILL CUT DOWN PLAYING. >> I THINK IT'S GONNA STICK AROUND. CONVERSE IS COMPLETELY NOT GONE AWAY.

I THINK IT'S ALSO KIND OF REIGNITED A LITTLE BIT OF A PASSION FOR PEOPLE THAT WERE PLAYING AS MUCH. THOSE GUYS ARE THE ONES THAT WOULD STICK AROUND OR SHOULD STICK AROUND IF THEY PEELED AT THEM EVEN A LITTLE BIT FROM THERE WANTING TO PLAY LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THEIR USE TO SUFFIX THREE OR FOUR TIMES A YEAR INSTEAD OF ONCE OR TWICE THAT'S GREAT IT'S ANOTHER COUPLE OF ROUNDS FOR US. IF IT'S 100 PEOPLE INTO THAT BUT IF A FEW OF YARDS. THOSE SMALL NUMBERS INDIVIDUALLY LOOK SMALL BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THEM TOGETHER IT COULD BE SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS.

JUST A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE TO LOOK AT BUT I DO THINK THOSE ROUNDS OF GOLF OR TENNIS THE GROUND. WE SAW VERY GOOD TREND WITH OUR ROUNDS GOING ON.

IT WAS REALLY HARD FOR ME TO SAY THAT THAT WAS OUR NUMBERS AND ARE INCREASING ROUNDS OF PLAY WERE DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTED TO CHRONIC VIRUS. THE GOLF COURSE WAS ARTIE GETTING BETTER SO I'M ALWAYS KIND OF PRESERVED ON SAYING CORONAVIRUS DID IT FOR US.

QUICK SUMS LOOKING FOR BRIGHT SPOTS. >> SURROUNDS THE STATE EVEN THROUGH THE SUMMER HAVING BE A YEAR IS MOVED.HE ROUNDS OF GOLF AT THE SAME SO WE'RE JUST AS GOOD AS LAST YEAR. I DEFINITELY THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL STICK AROUND. OUR COMMUNITY HAS PLENTY OF ROUNDS TO GIVE IT WAS GETTING THE COURSE BACK TO THE CONDITION THAT PEOPLE FELT IT WAS THAT OF VALUE.

THERE'S A DOLLAR ATTACHED TO WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR WORTH OUT OF THAT $THINK THAT'S REALLY WHERE WE'VE GOTTEN THE ROUNDS FROM TO CREATE THAT PRODUCT AND THAT'S JUST FOR

THAT. >> AND TWO QUESTIONS. ONE IS WHAT'S BEEN YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE SINCE WORKING HERE INTO HIS WHAT IS YOUR MOST NEEDED THING RIGHT NOW THAT THE

PARKS AND RECREATION COULD HELP YOU OUT WITH? >> THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE WAS REALLY JUST THE CONDITION OF THE GOLF COURSE IN DEALING WITH THE PREVIOUS MEMBERS THAT WERE A LITTLE BIT RESERVED ON US CHANGING PRICE INCREMENTS AND HOW WE WERE CHARGING.

[00:45:09]

TRYING TO AGAIN PUT A VALUE TO A PRODUCT THAT YOU'RE PROVIDING THAT MAY NOT OF BEEN SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT WERE NOT THAT GOOD. AND COMING UP TO WHERE IT IS NOW. WE HAVE A LOT OF VERY GOOD SUPPORTERS FROM THE GOLF COURSE OF THAT PART HAS BEEN AWESOME. SINCE SHE'S BEEN HERE IT'S BEEN AWESOME.

WITHIN A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT IT WAS A RISK OR HAZARD AND WE HAVE THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR THE GRAVES OF FEAR. WE WERE ABLE TO THE 20 EXTRA GOLF CARTS SO REALLY IT'S JUST BEEN SITTING DOWN WITH JASON IN GETTING THE TIME TO THROW SOME IDEAS ON AND SEE HOW YOU CAN HELP ME GET THOSE THINGS TO MOVE FORWARD.

SR IS A DIRECT NEED IT WOULD JUST BE ADDITIONAL STAFF AND EVERYBODY IN THE CITY.

THERE WOULD DEFINITELY BE A NEED FOR THE CLUBHOUSE AND MEET INSIDE.

[3. Discuss top priorities and budget for Parks Master plan.]

>> WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH QUICK THANK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING ME THIS EVENING.

>> THAT'S ONE OF THE FIRST AND I WAS TALKING WITH THE CHAIRMAN ABOUT THIS.

I REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW WHO OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM IS IN OUR DEPARTMENT AND ROLANDO IS ONE OF THEM. EVERY OTHER MONTH YOU WILL END UP BRINGING ONE OF OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM STAFF MEMBERS TO THE AREA HERE TO MAKE INTRODUCTIONS AND THAT WAY BECOME A LITTLE BIT MORE FAMILIAR WITH OUR TEAM AND THEY BECOME MORE FAMILIAR WITH YOU.

THANK YOU ROLANDO, WE APPRECIATE IT. >> AND I DID NOT ASK HIM TO

SAY THAT'S ABOUT ME EITHER. >> WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR NEW SUPERINTENDENT?

>> STEPHEN GALLIC COOK SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE MET HAVE ALREADY QUICK SUMS I DON'T KNOW WHAT

THE NEXT ITEM WAS. >> E THREE. I THINK YOU HAD IT.

THAT'S IT. OKAY. WITH THE PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DID WITH THE MASTER PLAN THANK YOU FOR THE TIME YOU PUT INTO IT. THERE'S TWO PARTS TO THIS. ONE IS A CAP PART THAT I WANT TO DISCUSS WITH YOU AND THEN THERE IS A SECOND PART THAT IS NOT CAP RELATED THAT I WANT TO DISCUSS WITH YOU AS WELL. THE FIRST PIECE THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

WE WERE ASKED BY CITY MANAGERS TO COME UP WITH FIVE PROJECTS IF YOU WILL THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT TO THE CITY COUNCIL. I WOULD'VE LOVED TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT THIS TO USE AS A COMMISSION PRIOR TO GIVING IT TO CITY COUNCIL. THE TIMING JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT AS THE WORKSHOP WAS LAST FRIDAY. I WANTED TO AT LEAST GO THROUGH THAT WITH YOU AND YOU LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT LET ME KNOW AND TELL ME WHAT WE NEED TO REPLACE IN THERE. ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I REALLY THAT'S WHAT IT WAS AT FIVE THAT WE PRESENTED TO YOU. MARTIN LUTHER KING PARK WE FELT THAT WE COULD PUT THE ENTIRE PARK IN THERE. FELT LIKE IT WAS A WORTHWHILE PARK TO GO AHEAD AND COMPLETE. IT'S ONE OF THE CONCEPTUAL AS WE HAD AND WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE IT'S THE SOUTHERNMOST NEIGHBORHOOD PARK THAT WE HAVE, IT WOULD BE A COMPLETE PARK IF WE EVER GOT IT FUNDED. WE HEADED OUT TO THE CAP LIST WHICH IS A $1.2 MILLION PROJECT THE NEXT ONE IS AT THE LEE TRACY PARK.

WELL IT'S ABOUT $3 MILLION FOR THE AREA WE FELT LIKE THERE WERE TWO ASPECTS THAT WE NEEDED TO TAKE CARE OF RIGHT OFF THE TOP. ONE OF THOSE WITH THE ROADWAY AND SO EXTENDING THE ROADWAY TO ALLOW TWO ENTRANCES IN THE PARK WITH ADDITIONAL PARKING IS ONE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS AND COMMENTS THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE FROM THE COMMUNITY.

[00:50:08]

PARTICULAR PROJECT. >> OF THE ROADWAY EXTENSION AND ALLOWANCE FOR THE TWO ENTRANCES INVOLVE THE ACQUISITION OF ANY ADDITIONAL PROPERTY ON THIS AND?

>> THE WAY THAT IT WAS PUT INTO THE ESTIMATED COST I BELIEVE SO.

THAT WOULD MIRROR WITH THIS NUMBER IS. >> WE'RE LOOKING AT SPENDING

$1 MILLION TO ADD A ROAD TO PARK. >> OPEN OF THE ROADWAY YES.

>> AND THEN 252 AT THE RESTROOMS. >> IN ADDITION TO THE ROADWAY NOT ONLY THE ROADWAY OPENING UP BUT THERE WOULD BE ADDITIONAL PARKING AMOUNT WAS PART OF THAT CONCERN. IT'S ON THE PARKING WHEN IT COMES TO THE EVENTS WITH THE

AMPHITHEATER. >> OF THAT ADDITIONAL ROADWAY EXIT IS IT SALEM?

>> DIDN'T CONCLUDE RECONFIGURING THE ROADWAYS AND SIZE.

>> INSIDE THE PARK? YES. >> DO WE GET THE ROADWAY

BEHIND THE AMPHITHEATER THAT WE TALKED ABOUT? >> NOW.

I APOLOGIZE. THAT'S NOT IT. EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE HERE IN THE GRAY THAT WOULD CONSTITUTE A MAJOR ROADWAY IT WOULD BE AND THAT WOULD BE EVERYTHING THAT WOULD BE WITHIN THIS MILLION-DOLLAR PROJECTION. THAT ROADWAY IN ADDITION TO THE

EXTENDED PARKING OFF OF THAT ROADWAY. >> IT'S HARD TO BRING

EQUIPMENT UP THERE. >> TO THE AMPHITHEATER? >> WE CAN LOOK AT WITH THAT ADDITIONAL COSTS WOULD BE AND IF YOU ARE OPEN TO IT I HAVE NO PROBLEM LOOKING AT THAT AND SEEING IF WE CANNOT GET TO THE CAP. THAT COULD POTENTIALLY MITIGATE

ISSUES. >> BIGGEST PROBLEM IS CARRYING THE EQUIPMENT UP AND DOWN THE

HILL. >> I KNOW THAT THAT WAS ONE OF THE STRUGGLES WERE MADE TO THE DUCK SAFARI WAS HAVING VEHICLES ON THE GRASS BECAUSE THE FIRE MARSHAL AND THEY COULDN'T PARK THROUGH TRUCKS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT ON THE GRASS AND SO HOW DID THEY GET STUFF OUT THERE ON THE GRASS WITHOUT LEAVING IT THERE AND WHAT ARE THE RULES THERE.

>> WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND SEE WHAT THAT EXTENSION MAY BE.

KIND OF A GUESS AT THE CLOSEST PART FROM THE PARKING LOT AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO EXTEND IT TO THE BACK OF ME IN THE THEATER IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO RATE?

>> TO AGREE WITH THAT? >> I THINK SO. >> IT'S A LOT EASIER TO CARRY

THE EQUIPMENT. >> AND THINK WE SHOULD BE CONSERVATIVE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PRICE FOR A MOST BEAUTIFUL PART. THIS IS AN INVESTMENT WELL WORTH IT AS FAR AS THE CITY GOES IT'S ONE OF THE ONLY PROGRAMS THAT STARKLY TIED TO HEALTH AND WELL-BEING AND SO I THINK THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE CONSERVATIVE.

>> I THINK THE RESTROOMS ARE GREAT IDEA. I GUESS I STRUGGLE WITH SPENDING THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE MONEY NOT ON A ROAD AND PARK.

IS THERE THAT LITTLE PARKING THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE THE ROAD AND THAT THE ROAD IS NUMBER ONE

PRIORITY FOR THAT PARK. >> QUITE SINGLY SOME OF THE THINKING BEHIND IT WAS WHAT IF WE DON'T OPEN THE ROAD OR THE PARK AND WE WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING AT THE AMPHITHEATER.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE HEARD THERE WAS NO PARKING. WE CAN ONLY GET X AMOUNT OF PEOPLE AND WE NEED MORE PARKING AND SO THE WAY THAT WE LOOKED AT IT IS IF WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO OPEN UP THAT PARKING IN THE FLOW THEN YOU HAVE MORE POTENTIAL FOR MORE PROGRAMMING THEY YOU CAN DO AT THE THEATER OR AT SOME OF THE SCOPE GREEN SPACE SO THAT WAS THE REASONING BEHIND THAT. IF WE WANT TO LOOK AT ADDING THAT PIECE OF IT TO ADD IT TO

[00:55:07]

>> I ALSO DON'T LOOK IT AT THE END OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRACY PARK.

WE SAW THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN AND THE REST OF THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN OUT THERE.

HOW DO YOU PRIORITIZE THE FIRST DOLLAR INTO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I GUESS ONE WAY TO LOOK AT IT IS MAYBE TO SAY WELL YOU CAN DO THE INFRASTRUCTURE PART FIRST BECAUSE WANT TO START HAVING AND BEGIN TO PROGRAM STAFF THAT YOU'RE NOT DOING NOW OR YOU GET MORE PEOPLE INTO THE PARK USING WHAT'S THERE YOU HAVE A BETTER CONSTITUENCY AND COUNSEL WILL BE EASIER TO GO BACK AND HEAR PEOPLE GO HEY YOU NEED TO FINISH UP THESE OTHER PARTS OF THE PLAN WE LIKE THAT PARK A LOT. I THINK THAT MAYBE ONE WAY TO LOOK AT US. IT'S NOT A SPRINT IT'S A MARATHON.

>> IN YOUR MIND THIS IS JUST KIND OF PHASE 1? THESE ARE THE FIVE THINGS THEY

WANTED TO THIS YEAR. HOW DOES THAT? >> THE CAP IS KIND OF UNDERGOING A DIFFERENT STRUCTURE. WITH THE CITY MANAGERS WANTING US TO DO IS PRESENT FIVE LARGE PROJECTS THAT ARE WITHIN OUR PARKS MASTER PLAN AND PRESENTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL. CITY COUNCILS CANNOT LOOK AT THIS AND THIS IS GOING TO BE OVER A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD EACH DEPARTMENT PUBLIC WORKS, MEAN STREET IN THESE DIFFERENT AREAS HAVE DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT THEY ARE PUTTING INTO THIS AND SO IT'S NOT JUST ASKING FOR CAP MONEY. IF MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS AND SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE PICK JUST THE TOP FIVE. I DO FORESEE THIS BEING A MARATHON AND NOT A SPRINT.

EACH YEAR CONTINUES TO ADD TO IT. BUT YES IT'S A FIVE-YEAR PLAN

FOR CITY COUNCIL. >> AND THIS IS JUST PART OF THE MONTH MASTER PLAN FOR

LESLIE TRACY TO PRIORITIZE IT LIKE? >> THAT'S PART OF IT.

>> THAT WILL BE THE FOLLOW-UP OF WHAT WE DISCUSSED THE SECOND PART.

IT'S KIND OF THE SMALLER PROJECTS IF YOU WILL THAT WE CAN TASTE WITHIN OUR BUDGET BUT

NOT NECESSARILY PIECE CAP'S. >> IS DEFINED AS $100,000 OR MORE.

IT IS A LIFE SPAN OF 10 YEARS OR MORE. >> OR JASON INSIDE THAT ROADWAY EXTENSION DOES THAT INCLUDE PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALKS OR PATHS OR TRAILS?

>> NOT BELIEVE THAT WAS STRICTLY ASKED FAULT PARKING. THE CURB AND GUTTER.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS HONESTLY TRACY OR COMMENTS? >> OKAY I WILL LOOK AT WITH THAT ADDITION WOULD BE FOR THE AMPHITHEATER AND SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT ON THERE AS WELL.

I WILL SEND IT AT THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE. >> I JUST MENTIONED IS FUNNY BECAUSE I WAS JUST MENTIONED TO YOU HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS PC'S AND 50,000 AND 30,000 ACUMEN OF THE TOTAL MORE THAN HUNDRED THOUSAND. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS SOME PARKING WASTELANDS. THIS WOULD BE FOR RIVERSIDE PARK, TRACY PARK AND TO DELETE PARK. QUITE HONESTLY WE HAVE AN AGENDA ITEMS ON CITY COUNCIL

[01:00:03]

AND SO THAT WOULD COVER ONE OF THESE PARKS. A GOOD PORTION IS NOT THE MAJORITY OF IT. NONETHELESS WE WANTED TO LOOK AT THE GATEWAY SIGNS FOR

RIVERSIDE PARKS THAT WOULD BE THE ENTRANCES RIVERSIDE PARK. >> SIGNAGE WOULD BE PART OF

THE $1.2 TRILLION? >> THAT HIS RIGHTS ARE. >> HAS EVER BEEN DISCUSSION OF FLAX? DO WE HAVE ANY PLAQUES IN ANY OF OUR PARKS?

>> WE HAVE SOME. THEY ARE NOT EVERY SINGLE PART THAT WE DO HAVE SOME.

>> I JUST WASN'T SURE IF I HAD SEEN ANY. >> AND USED TO HAVING FLAGPOLES IN THE MAJORITY OF THE PARKS TUCSON WITH YOU ON THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT

THAT AS A BUDGETARY ITEM. >> WE DEFINITELY HAVE THEM IN OUR BIG BALL FIELDS.

>> AND THE OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? CLICK ON A SMILE CLICK THOSE

TRYING TO KEEP MY COOL. >> I FELT LIKE A JOB. >> ONE WAS RIVERSIDE PARK

RIDGE KAYAK TAKE OUT. >> HONESTLY ARE RELATED TO SPORTS TOURISM.

THE WAY WE LOOK AT THE SPORTS TOURISM ON THE RIVER AS WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO UTILIZE THE RIVER OBVIOUSLY AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT MORE OF IN VICTORIA.

WE ARE LOOKING AT A $1.1 MILLION FOR A NEW LOCATION AT THE KAYAK TAKE OUT AND IT WOULD INCREASE PARKING AND HAVE A COVERED PAVILION IN ADDITION TO THAT IT JUST ENHANCES OUR

OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE RIVER. >> JUST TO BE HONEST WITH YOU THE LOCATION OF WHERE WE ARE AT THE CURRENT TAKE OUT IS NOT THE BEST LOCATION. IT'S NOT THERE THERE'S JUST A LOT OF VEHICLES IN THE INCLINE IS RIDICULOUS. SO THERE'S JUST A LOT OF HURDLES WITH OUR CURRENT TAKE OUT AND FINDING A LOCATION FOR AND POTENTIALLY APPLYING FOR GRANT FUNDING WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT AS WELL. I BELIEVE THEY WILL BE DUE IN

FEBRUARY FOR THIS $1.1 MILLION AS WELL. >> WE SPRAY OFF THE BOATS.

>> I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANYTHING EXPECT. >> THERE'S NOTHING OVER THERE

TO DO THAT BUT WE RENT THAN WE DO WE CLEAN THEM UP AFTERWARDS. >> BEHIND HER OFFICE THE CITY USES THE WATER HOSE TO SPRAY OFF THE TRAILER SO WE WASH THEM BACK THERE.

>> OTHER ALLIGATORS IN THERE? >> NOW. I'VE BEEN GOING FOR SIX OR

SEVEN YEARS AND I'VE SEEN ONE AND IT WAS LIKE 4 FEET. >> HE WAS THINKING ABOUT IT TO

. >> WE TOO, SIMON KAYAK. I'VE NEVER HAD AN INCIDENT WITH

ANYTHING IN THE WATER SO THAT'S GOOD. >> WHO WILL BE DOING THE DESIGN AND HOW THEY PLAN ON DOING WITH THE FLIGHTS THAT SEEM TO HAPPEN EVERY YEAR AT

LEAST ONCE A YEAR? >> THAT'S A REALLY GREAT QUESTION.

I'M GONNA PASS IT OFF TO KIMBERLY BUT BEFORE I DO THAT BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN WORKING ON THIS WE ACTUALLY HAD MONEY IN THE BUDGET THIS CURRENT YEAR TO REPLACE THE CURRENT KAYAK TAKE OUT. THAT WAS ONE OF THE HICCUPS WE STARTED TALKING TO THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT OUR RIVER AND HOW IT FLUCTUATES THAT WAS AN ISSUE THAT IT WOULD BE BROKEN I THINK AFTER A 15 FOOT RISE. IT WOULD'VE BEEN DONE TWO

[01:05:02]

>> LAST YEAR THERE WAS ABOUT $35,000 BUDGETED FOR A NEW KAYAK DOCK.

THAT KAYAK DOCK INVOLVE THE 10 FOOT LAMP AND INTRODUCE THE ADA COMPLIANT WE NEED A 15 FOOT RAMP. INSTEAD RIVER FLOODS REGULARLY WE ALSO NEEDED TO HAVE FLAT ANGER IS NOT REGULAR INCURS INTO THE SIDE OF THE RINK. AND THEN WITH HOW MUCH THE RIVER FLUCTUATES IT GOES ANYWHERE FROM 6 FEET AND 31 FEET.

THE 10 TO 15 FOOT RAMP JUST IS PUT TO SO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE RAMP ITSELF SO ONCE WE GOT A 15 FOOT RAMP THE PRICE WAS ABOUT $52,000 SO WE DID NOT HAVE $52,000 BUDGETED BUT WE DID SEE AN OPPORTUNITY WITH TP DVD FOR ABOUT ACCESS. THE WEIGHT OF THE GRANT WORKS IS YOU APPLY FOR A GRANT FOR A PLANNING GRANT AND THEN THEY GIVE FUNDS TO GET A FIRM TO DO YOUR DRAWINGS AND THAT RESEARCH FOR YOU AND I'M NOT ROLLS INTO THE FUNDING GRANT IN ORDER TO

BE ABLE TO PAY FOR WHATEVER WAS CREATED. >> THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE ARE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION WHICH IS THE FLUCTUATION OF THE RIVER.

>> THIS MIGHT NOT HAVE TO BE THE PARKS PROBLEM. TO ADDRESS THE FLOODING BECAUSE I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND I'VE SEEN OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE DONE CREATIVE THINGS TO ADDRESS THE FLOODING. WE ARE ALWAYS SEEING IT AS A PROBLEM.

WILL THERE EVER BE A TIME WHERE WE ARE TRYING TO FIX IT OR CAUSE IT TO NOT BE SO BAD.

>> I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM ON THAT.

I THINK ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE UNIQUE THINGS ABOUT THE WAY I RIVER FLOODS THAT ARE NOT USED TO TALKING ABOUT THIS IS I'M USED TO HAVING A PARK ON A RIVER AND THE RIVER FLOODING AND IT JUST COMES IN FOR THE BANKS AND FLIPPED EVERYTHING OUT.

HERE IT'S DIFFERENT. HERE THE RIVER CAN, AND IT CAN GO OUTSIDE OF ITS BANK ACTUALLY DOESN'T REALLY GO OUTSIDE OF ITS BANK IN THE PARK. IT'S EVERYTHING THAT LEADS TO THE RIVER SO IT'S THE DRAINAGE WAY AND EVERYTHING THAT LEADS TO THE RIVER STILL GETS BACKED UP AND IF MAJORITY OF THE FLOODING COMES FROM WITHIN THE PARK AND SO FOR ME AND I'M NOT USED TO AND QUITE FRANKLY NOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT WITHOUT.

>> YOU SAID DRAINAGE IT IS THAT DUE TO THE FLOODING OR LACK OF MAINTENANCE?

>> WHEN THE RIVER GETS TO A CERTAIN POINT THAT WATER CAN'T THAT'S WHERE THE ISSUE IS A

LACK OF MAINTENANCE IT'S JUST CAPACITY. >> IF THERE WAS SOMETHING

THERE ON OUT THERE LIKE THE RIVER WOULD AREA AND PHILIP. >> I THINK WHEN WE FIRST GOT AND WE WERE THROWN DOWN TO CONTROL HOW MUCH WATER IS COMING THROUGH VICTORIA.

JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS IT WAS ONE OF THOSE RANDOM IDEAS. WERE ABOVE AND THEY CONTROL THE FLOW DOWN. IT JUST STAYS IN THOSE BANKS. IN REFERENCE TO THE PROGRAM.

[01:10:06]

>> QUICK SO COME IN. >> COMING IN TOMORROW BE ON THE RIGHT.

>> IS GONNA STAY THE SAME THE UPGRADE TO THAT BOAT RAMP AREA THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING USED AS

A PUTTING. >> THAT WOULD BE LOOKED AT BEING EXPANDED AS WELL BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S REALLY CHALLENGING TO TURN AROUND AND IF PEOPLE ARE PARKED THAT'S NOT CAN HAPPEN VERY WELL. PEOPLE JUST HAVE TO DRIVE BACKWARDS AND IT'S REALLY CHALLENGING SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A WHOLE EXTENSION OF THAT WITH THE GRANT.

>> WITH THIS WELCOME ADDITION TO NEW, KAYAK AND TUBING COMPANIES TO COME IN OUTSIDE OF

THE PARK TO OFFER TOURISM LIKE THEY DO IN EVERY OTHER RIVER. >> I WOULD SAY YES.

I CANNOT BE ANSWERED ON BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER OUTFITTERS. THERE'S ONE THAT'S IN THOMASTON BEFORE YOU GET TO CUERO AND THEY DO COME PICK UP PEOPLE FROM THE RAMP AT RIVERSIDE.

>> THE MAIN REASON IS THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL REVENUE OPPORTUNITY AS I'M SURE WITH THOSE NEED TO BE LICENSED FOR SOME TYPE OF PERMIT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS?

JESUS PHILLIPS CITY FACILITIES. >> IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION AND THAT SOMETHING THAT QUITE HONESTLY IS A CONVERSATION THAT WE ARE HAVING WITH MIKE TOO. WOULD WE PUT A STOP TO MONETARY GAIN UTILIZING A PARK SYSTEM FOR FREE? I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU GET IT NOW. WHERE DO WE COMBAT FOUNTAIN AND DRAW THE LINE.

>> NOTHING STOP SOMEBODY COMING IN FROM IRAN LIKE THEY DO.

>> YOU WANT THOSE INDIVIDUALS TO COME IN AND UTILIZE IT BUT IF YOU UTILIZE IT FOR A DIFFERENT REASON THAT'S WHERE YOU GET A PAYCHECK AND THAT'S A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION.

I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM. IT'S A PIECE THAT WE HAVEN'T

CLEARED UP YET. >> LIKE FOR ME THERE'S REQUIREMENTS.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GENERAL LIABILITY POLICY. AT ONE OF THOSE OTHER COMPANIES

LIKE YOU SAID IT COULD JUST BE. >> THEY COULD HAVE A MAN OR A TRAILER IN THE.

>> AMENDMENT THE RULES BECAUSE YOU ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE CERTAIN THINGS ON A KAYAK AND IF THEY DON'T KNOW THAT YOU NEED A LIFE JACKET WITH THE POTHOLE.

EVEN AT NIGHTTIME WE DON'T OFFER ANY RIGHTS THAT GO PAST A CERTAIN TIME BECAUSE THEN YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A WHAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE SO WE DON'T SEE A LOT OF IT.

I'VE ONLY MET A COUPLE OF THE COMPANIES I KNOW THAT THERE IS THIS THAT THEY HAVE THIS MASSIVE CANOE AND IT HAS LIKE 20 PEOPLE THAT CAN GO ON AND THEY RENT THAT OUT AND YOU TRY THAT FROM CUERO DELHI. EVEN JUST TO SEE IT TRANSPORTED.

>> IF YOU MAKE AT THIS ATTRACTIVE OTHER PEOPLE WILL COME AGREED.

>> THE CAR PIPE. THICKEST HE COULD SAY. >> ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE. >> AND SO LAST BUT NOT LEAST AGAIN SEEN AS THE BALL FIELD TURF IMPROVEMENTS. ONE OF THE POSITIONS THAT WE STILL HAVE TAKEN THE SPORTS TOURISM MANAGEMENT POSITIONS. WE ARE LOOKING AT FINALIZING THAT HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF

[01:15:07]

>> IN THE MASTER PLANET SHOWS JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE PLAY ADULT SOFTBALL AND THAT IS AHEAD.

I REALLY LOVE THAT AS IT GETS USED SO MUCH. I WAS JUST SEEING THAT THE MONEY PEOPLE USING IT AND HOW LITTLE ATTENTION HAS GOTTEN OVER THE PAST SOME ATTENTION GOING INTO THE SOFTBALL FIELD BECAUSE LIKE I SAID I SAW THOSE NUMBERS IN THE MASTER PLAN AND I WAS LIKE WOW THOSE PEOPLE LOVE TO GO IF I PLAY ON THURSDAYS BUT I DON'T SEE THE

OTHER DAYS WONDERFUL. >> JASON AND ON THE TURF REPLACEMENT QUESTION IS ABOUT 10 YEARS. THERE'S STILL SOME MAINTENANCE THAT HAS TO BE DONE TO IT THAT

ABOUT 10 TO 12 YEARS. >> FOR MY.> NOTED. >> THAT'S THE IF THERE ARE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE CAN APPROACH THAT MAY BE ABLE OR WERE DONATE ANY FOUNDATIONS BILLY WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO POLLING FROM THE CITY IN THAT REGARD.

AND SO I WELCOME THE. >> IT LOOKS LIKE THOSE OUT. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BALL

FIELD TURF? >> OKAY X IT SOUNDS LIKE THOSE ARE FAIRLY DECENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LESLIE TRACY ADDING THAT ONE COMPONENT SO WE'RE GOOD TO GO.

>> OKAY COOL.WERE DONE WITH THE FIRST PIECE OF IT. THE SECOND PIECE SHOULD BE A

LOT. >> AS I MENTIONED THOSE PART OF OUR CAPITAL WHEN I TOLD APPEARS CHAPTER 4 OF THE MASTER PLAN. IN CHAPTER 4 OF THE MASTER PLAN THERE ARE CERTAIN AREAS THAT SPELL OUT EACH PARK. EVERY PARK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE THREE THAT HAD LIVES. EACH PARK HAVE ABILITY FOR NEAR-TERM IMPROVEMENT A LIST OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS WITH THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM DOING INTERNALLY AS STAFF 30 MEETING AND DISCUSSING OUR BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR. WE JUST GOT APPROVED WITH OUR BUDGET OCTOBER BUT THE NEXT BUDGET IS DUE THE END OF THAT'S WHAT WE ARE ALREADY PLANNING FOR AND SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK OF YOU IS THE COMMISSION 'S WE HAVE THESE IN CHAPTER 4.

PLEASE IF YOU COULD FIND 10 PROJECTS TO ME AND I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO CHAT ABOUT 30 MEETING SO WE CAN INCLUDE THOSE THINGS WITHIN OUR BUDGET. WE ARE ALREADY GOING TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS THEIR STAFF BEFORE WE ARE ABLE TO MEET WITH YOU AGAIN IN FEBRUARY AND THAT'S ANOTHER ITEM THAT WE HAVE ON HERE IS CANCELLATION ABOUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS CONNECT WITH YOU AND HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS TO MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE SOME OF THOSE ITEMS THE USER CAN LIKE TO SEE WITHIN OUR BUDGET THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND ACCOMPLISHED.

MARKETS DO YOU HOPEFUL HOMEWORK. TO COME UP WITH THOSE FIVE SO FINDING TENANTS CAN REACH. AGAIN AS A COMMISSION IONIZER COMMITTEE WE DEFINITELY WANT YOUR INPUT. YOU KNOW WHERE THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO SEE THESE DOLLARS AT.

[01:20:07]

>> DO YOU WANT US TO TRY TO GET THE HEAD OF THE FEBRUARY MEETING SO THAT YOU CAN KIND OF

TO SIFT THROUGH IT OR DO YOU WANT US TO PRESENT A? >> IF YOU CAN GET IT AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE THE FEBRUARY MEETING THAT WOULD BE EXCELLENT AND I CAN PUT THAT IN A SPREADSHEET AND WE CAN SEND IT OUT AND HANDED TO YOU SO THAT IF THERE IS ANY DOUBLE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE ALREADY GOT THOSE TALLIED. WE CAN GO AHEAD AND NOTE THAT.

>> IS ON THE MASTER PLAN RECOMMENDATION FOR THE UTILITY. BASICALLY IT PERMITS RESIDENTS TO ADD A DOLLAR. IT DOESN'T FORCE THEM BECAUSE THERE IS ALREADY ONE THAT THEY DO THAT FOR NOT NOTHING THAT THEY ASK. TO ADD IN A DOLLAR.

>> I SAW THAT IN THE MASTER PLAN AND I THOUGHT IT WAS BEING CREATIVE AND GETTING DOLLARS LIKE THAT BOW IF ANYTHING ELSE. YOU BASICALLY GO TO PAY HER WATER BILL AND THEN WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD TWO DOLLARS TO GO TOWARDS PARKS AND RECREATION?, LIKE A MAINTENANCE FEE OR

MAINTENANCE DONATION IF YOU WELL. >> BUT I CAN'T SAY NO TO THAT WOULD BE WHAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT ABOUT THE ONE THAT THEY ARE COMMENDED IN THE MASTER PLAN. THIS ONE IS THE ONE THAT THEY PUT BASICALLY AND IT GIVES THE

PERSON THE ABILITY TO SAY YES, SIR NO. >> IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS PART OF THE COUNCIL PROBABLY NINE TIMES OUT OF 10 WILL HAVE TO PRESENT THAT THE COUNCIL JUST BECAUSE IT MAY INVOLVE A FEE OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WOULD BE LOOKING AT TRYING TO GAIN FOR THAT

FEBRUARY MEETING. >> HE REALLY LIKE TO HAVE SOMETHING BACK BY THE SEVENTH I

GUESS. >> YES SIR. >> 7 FEBRUARY BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE THE FEBRUARY MEETING WOULD BE ON THE 14TH KISSER.

>> AT THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY WOULD BE GREAT. >> NO LATER THAN THE SEVENTH

OUT BE GREAT. >> HAVE YOU HEARD BACK FROM THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT WANT TO KNOW THE MONUMENT? GOOD QUESTION. WE RELABELED SOME OF THE CITY MANAGER AND DISCUSSED A FEW LOCATIONS. WE ACTUALLY LOOKED AT MEMORIAL PARK WHICH IS DOWNTOWN. PART OF THE REASON BEHIND THAT WAS THE WIDTH OF THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN CONCEPTUALIZE THOSE TWO AND THAT AREA IT WAS REALLY FOCUSING ON THE VETERAN AND THE WAR MEMORIAL IF YOU WELL. AND JUST KINDA GAVE A NOD IS THAT THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED TO PUT THAT 361 MEMORIAL MONUMENT. FURTHER DISCUSSIONS.

>> BEFORE WE LEAVE THE SUBJECT OF THIS LIST OF THINGS WE WANT TO PUT ON THE FLASK.

JESSICA DO YOU THINK YOU COULD KNOW THE GROUP WITH A REMINDER OR AT THE END OF JANUARY SO THAT PEOPLE CAN HAVE A FEW DAYS TO THINK ABOUT IT AND GET THAT LIST DONE?

>> I REALLY HAD A WISH WE HAD A WAY OF COMMUNICATING ON OUR LEISURE TIME SO THE COALITION ON FACEBOOK CAN HAVE THAT GROUP AND SOMEBODY MIGHT WRITE SOMETHING THEY WANT AND NOBODY MIGHT REPLY TO IT. WE GO BACK AND FORTH GOING OUT THE AGENDA WHETHER IT BE FIVE DAYS FROM MENDING WITH EACH OTHER. I ONLY KNOW HOW TO DO FACEBOOK.

OW THERE'S A WAY TO DO THAT WITHIN THE TEXT MESSAGES. I WAS THE.

>> I DON'T THINK THOMAS WOULD LET US TO THAT. >> AND I THINK SO.

>> YOU CAN IF IT WAS IN A SMALL GROUP SETTING QUICK TAG FOR PEOPLE YOU'VE CREATED A QUORUM. BUT WE'RE SUBJECTED TO THAT MEETING THING BUT THOMAS WANTS

[01:25:05]

>> THAT ARE HOW WE HAVE THAT MUCH VALUABLE INPUT OF THE ONLY TIME WE DISCUSSED SOME THINGS ONCE A MONTH. THAT'S MY REASON FOR SAYING THAT.

>> I GET IT WE CAN MEET MORE QUICKLY DO IT ON MY OWN TIME. >> YOU ARE RIGHT.

IF YOU SPLIT THE PRICE HE PAID A PUBLIC BODY I GUESS. >> WHAT I THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL AS IF WE HAD 70 DIFFERENT RECOMMENDATIONS HOPEFULLY THEY WOULD BE 50 OR SOMETHING AND YOU GUYS CAN AT LEAST WRITE THE REAL THE THAT ON OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHERE OUR

[4. Take action on cancelling the January commission meeting.]

IF THAT WOULD WORK FOR YOU JUST I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. IT HELPED ME TO REMEMBER TO GO LOOK AT CHAPTER 4 AND GET MY TENTS ON THE COMBINES IS PUT ON THE SPREADSHEET.

IF WE HAVE 90 OF THEM THE GOAL IS TO KIND OF CONDENSE THOSE HOPEFULLY SOME OF YOUR MINDS TO THE SAME EYE WE CAN GO FROM THERE.
