[4. Citizen Communication:]

>> AS A PRIOR MEMBER OF THE VICTORIA PUBLIC LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD, I WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATED THE YEAR THAT I SPENT ON THE BOARD. IT GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAINIVELY HEAR OTHER PEOPLE'S WIN OPINIONS, I BELIEVE THE ROLE OF THE LIBRARY SO TO PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO WISH TO BECOME MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE WHO WISH TO RESEARCH A PARTICULAR TOPIC, WHO NEED TO USE THE COMPUTER WHO ARE LOOKING FOR SOME QUIET TIME, OR JUST WANT TO READ FOR THE SAKE OF READING. AN EXCELLENT LIBRARY IN MY OPINION PROVIDES NOT ONLY THE MATERIALS FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO USE THEM, BUT ALSO THE SPACE TO ACCESS THOSE MATERIALS. IT PROVIDES THOUSANDS OF BOOKS, VIDEOS AND CDS, MEETING SPACES, QUIET AREAS, AS WELL AS A WIDE VARIETY OF CHILDREN'S ACTIVITIES, TEEN PROGRAMS, AND ADULT WORKSHOPS. IT GOES -- IT GIVES ONE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN NEW THINGS AND EXPLORE POSSIBILITIES. IT GAVES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR DOORS TO BE OPEN WHERE THEY ONCE WERE CLOSED. VICTORIA PUBLIC LIBRARY IS MUCH MORE THAN A BUILDING.

MY HOPE FOR THIS LIBRARY IS THAT THEY CONTINUE TO EDUCATION, ENCOURAGE AND ENLIGHTEN THE

VICTORIA COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MS. DAVID, AGAIN,

THANK YOU FOR SERVING. >> MR. VONNEROFF, WELCOME BACK FROM YOUR HIATUS.

[00:15:06]

>> I GAVE YOU A BREAK. >> WE MISSED YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNSEL AND MAYOR. THERE IS A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE TRASHING OUT STORAGE BINS IT IS ATIEREST FOOD MART ON 3300 NORTH BEN MAJORITYON BY TWO CHURCHES , BUT IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WHERE IT IS JUST A TACKLE SHOP YOU KNOW, WHERE PEOPLE GO FISHING AND THE PERSON THAT OWNS THE CHARITY BIN DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING AND OWNER OF THE CONVENIENCE STORE DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING. AND THIS AIN'T LIKE SIMPLE LITTERING, LIKE A CLASS C MISDEMEANOR. IT IS LIKE DUMPING LIKE A CLASS B MISDEMEANOR, WHERE YOU GO TO JAIL AND IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHOLE FOR A LONG TIME. AND THIS IS TODAY'S PICTURE.

AND ALSO ON JACK IN THE BOX, I WAS GOING TO UPDATE WHAT HAPPENED.

THEY BUILT A FENCE AND THEY STILL DIDN'T WANT THE GO AROUND SO THEY BROKE THE FENCE DOWN SO THEY COULD CUT THROUGH, AND THEN THE CONTRACTOR CAME BECAUSE CODE ENFORCEMENT CALLED THEM AND FIXED THE FENCE AND THEY FOUND ANOTHER WAY TO JAYWALK, YOU KNOW, AND THEY GO THROUGH THIS ALI, YOU KNOW, BEHIND CHARLEY'S DOUGHNUTS AND BEHIND JACK IN THE BOX.

IT IS A BIG ALI THAT COME FROM THE CROSS ROADS, THE REASON I FOUND IT I WASN'T SNOOPING, I WAS GETTING -- THEY HAVE THE MONSTER TACOS ON SALE FOR TODAY AT $1.50 AT JACK IN THE BOX.

I WASN'T SNOOPING AND I SEEN THEM. IT AND LOOK LIKE SOMEONE IS TRYING TO CLOSE THAT UP TODAY, LIKE BUILD A BARRIER SO THEY CAN'T GO FLEW THE ALIWAY.

[2. Award the 2023 Mill-Overlay Project (John Stockbauer Dr.) to Brannan P...]

PAYTON COMPANY OFOR THE PROPOSAL AMOUNT OF. >> GOOD EVENING.

REAL QUICK PRESENT 8, PROJECT LOCATION IS JOHN STOCK BAUER BETWEEN RIO GRANDE AND COLONY CREEK DRIVER MAJOR REPAIRS TO THE SOUTHBOUND, OUTSIDE LINE. THE ONE NEXT TO THE TREES.

WE DID PREPARE AN ADDITIVES TO EXTEND IT TO AIRLINE THAT WAS AN ADDITIONAL 2000 LINEAR FEET AND WE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT TO RESTRIPE THE ROADWAY ALL THE WAY FROMRY RIO GRANDE TO AIRLINE. THE PROPOSAL DETAILS, WAS THE LOWEST PROPOSAL AT 1.2 MILLION BUDGETED IS $1.5 AND COMPLETION IN AUGUST, THE ADDITIVES WAS PRICE AMOUNT OF $TWO MILLION.

AND WE DID NOT RECOMMEND THAT. IT WAS WAY OVER THE BUDGETED AMOUNT THAT WE HAVE, BUT WE ARE INCLUDING THE STRIPING, SO WE WHEN WANT TO AT LEAST CONTINUE THE STRIPING ALL THE WAY UP.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THANK YOU. >>.

>> I JUST HAVE ONE MORE THAN ANYTHING. >> WE DID OUR PART, WE JUST

>> AYE, THOSE OPPOSE, SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES. E 3.

[3. Approve a professional services contract with FGM Architects for desig...]

>> ITEM E3 IS A RESOLUTION APPROVING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT OF FGM ARC TICKETSIGE

CORPORATES. >> THE SAME ARCHITECT WHO IS NOW WITH FGMA AND THAT PROCESS YIELDED A RECOMMENDATION TO BUILD A CAMPUS WITH SEVERAL BUILDINGS ON IT.

THE PREMISE OF THAT ORIGINAL STUDY WAS TO LOOK AT ALL OF THESE FACILITIES AROUND TOWN AND TRY TO BRING THEM INTO ONE SITE. AND THEORY, THAT SOUNDS LIKE GREAT IDEA.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE COST-PROHIBITIVE ENDEAVOR THIS CAME IN 2018, WHICH AS YOU SEE, HAD SEVERAL BUILDING INJURIES ON ON SITE. WE CONTRACTED WITH FGMA BUT THE

[00:25:21]

A QUICK REFRESHER, I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE SPACE THAT PD HAS NOW THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO BE A PD SPACE IS NOT ADEQUATE. AT THE TIME THAT THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT, I THINK IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT WE HAD 50 POSITIONS WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND NOW WE HAVE 130 SWORN ESTIMATED OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS TO GROW TO 163 SWORN AND 65 CIVILIAN.

AND SO OBVIOUSLY WE NOT ONLY NEED ADEQUATE SPACE FOR THE PEOPLE WE HAVE NOW BUT NEED TO

ACCOUNT FOR FUTURE GROWTH. >>. ONE OF THE NEW THINGS IN THE 2021 STUDY WE'RE LOOKING AT IN MUNICIPAL COURT WHICH NEEDED SOME SPACE AND THEY ALSO ENVISIONED GROWING OVER THAT 20-YEAR PERIOD. BUT THERE IS A MORE ROBUST ASSESSMENT TO THE BUILDING WE'RE IN NOW THAT INCLUDES MUNICIPAL COURT.

UNTIL THERE WAS A NEED TO CONSIDER ALTERNATIVES, AND SO ULTIMATELY THERE WAS A RECOMMENDATION TO BUILD A NEW CENTRALIZED PUBLIC SAFETY HEADQUARTERS THAT NOT ONLY INCLUDES POLICE AND FIRED A MIN, BUT ALSO MUNICIPAL COURT. AND YOU CAN SEE THE DRASTIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS VISION VERSUS THE ONE IN 2018, MAINLY IN THAT THIS IS ONE LARGE BUILDING ESTIMATED FROM ROUGHLY 68,000 SQUARE FEET 911 DISPATCH WOULD ALSO RELOCATE TO THIS BUILDING WHICH IS CURRENTLY AT A DIFFERENT SITE, SECURED PARKING, AS WELL AS JUST SPACE FOR GROWTH. WE RECENTLY PURCHASED OFTEN OF MAIN AND AIRLINE, AND SQUEEZED IT BETWEEN MAIN AND VINE STREET. OBVIOUSLY THE DEVELOPABLE LAND OF THAT IS CENTERED ON FRONT ACKNOWLEDGE AND MAIN STREET, AND SO WE ENVISION USING ROUGHLY THOSE TEN ACRES, PART OF THAT 14-ACRE TRACK THAT IS CLOSE TO THAT INTERSECTION. AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE THIS ISN'T FINAL BY ANY MEANS BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH MORE WORK WHICH IS WHY WE'RE HAVING THIS ACTION AGENDA ITEM TONIGHT BUT THAT IS WHERE WE ARE WITH IT. COST-WISE, YOU PROBABLY RECALL ME MENTIONING THE CONSTRUCTTION COSTS WENT UP. CONSTRUCTION COSTS WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS PROCESS LAST YEAR WAS SHY OF 30 MILLION. AND YOU MAY RECALL I MENTIONED AT OUR WORKSHOP AND ANOTHER OFF CONVERSATIONS AT THE CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE HAS GONE UP TO ROUGHLY $33 MILLION.

SOME OF THOSE OTHER COSTS ARE, YOU KNOW, COSTS OF PURCHASE OF LAND WHICH WE ALREADY DID.

THE 2.8 MILLION CONTRACT THAT IS ON THE AGENDA TODAY. SOME OF THE OTHER ALLOWANCES WOULD BE SOMETHINGS THAT WE BUDGET THROUGH OUR NORMAL BUDGET PROCESS.

BUT CONSTRUCTION COST IS ESTIMATED AT 33 MILLION WHICH IS AN INCREASE OF ROUGHLY THREE

MILLION COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS AGO. >> AS A REFRESHER, WE CURRENTLY HAVE THE CIP HAVE $25 MILLION ALLOCATED FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024. AND SO WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION ABOUT SOME CREATIVE IDEAS ON HOW WE GET TO THAT 33 OR WHATEVER THE NUMBER ENDS UP BEING, ONCE WE GO THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESSSH PROCESS. TIMELINE-WISE, AS PART OF THE ADOPTED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023 WE INCORPORATED THE $23 MILLION TO GET STARTED WITH THE DESIGN AND SO THAT IS THE ITEM THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY.

WE ENVISION THE DESIGN PROCESS RUNNING THROUGH LATE SPRING/EARLY SUMMER OF NEXT YEAR SO THAT HOPEFULLY THAT GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE THAT WE WOULD HOPEFULLY GET FROM A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER THAT WE WOULD GET ON BOARD THIS WINTER COULD BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION WHERE WE ADOPT A BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024 SO THAT ULTIMATELY WE COULD BID OUT THE PROJECT AND GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS NEXT FALL AND ULTIMATELY START CONSTRUCTION OF THIS FACILITY SOMETIME IN T OF 2023-2024 AND WE ENVISION TOTAL COMPLETION BY THE SUMMER

[00:30:05]

BUT I WANT TO GO BACK TO TODAY, RIGHT, WHICH IS THE AWARDING OF THE CONTRACT WITH FGMA ARCHITECTS AND I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE FOLKS THAT WILL BE INVOLVED WITH THIS PROCESS. AND I MAINLY WANT TO INTRODUCE BRIAN MEAD, THE PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT WITH BRIAN MAY AND HE WILL PRODUCE THE FOLKS THAT ARE WITH HIM TODAY SO BRIAN, COME ON

UP AND YOU'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE. >> BEFORE HE. COMES UP, CAN I ASK YOU A

QUESTION. >> GO BACK DOWN -- >> I'M SO SORRY.

>> NO, IT IS ALL RIGHT. >> DO YOU FORESEE ANY MEDIANS ON MAIN STREET.

>> MEDIAN NO. >> I'M THINKING OF THE FIRE TRUCKS SO AWAY DON'T HAVE THAT

PROBLEM. >> GREAT QUESTION. >> I HAVE ALSO HAVE A QUESTION I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS FOR YOU OR THE ARCHITECTS IS THERE GOING TO BE TIME SET ASIDE FOR THE COUNCIL TO MEET WITH THE ARCHITECTS TO DISCUSS THE DESIGN.

>> WE DEFINITELY WANT AN INCLUSIVE PROCESS FOR SURE, YEAH.

AND HI CAN TOUCH ON THAT WHEN HE GOES THROUGH HIS PROCESS AND SCOPE.

>> ANOTHER QUESTION, CAN YOU GO BACK A SLIDE. WE'RE ALLOWING EIGHT HOPPS FOR THE DESIGN AND THERE IS A SMALL LULL FROM JUNE TO SEPTEMBER, THREE MONTHS TO RAP PROVE THE BUDGET, FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND THEN ANOTHER FOUR MONTHS FOR THE BIDDING AND THEN OVER A YEAR FOR THE CONSTRUCTION, IS THAT NORMAL? THAT SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIMELINE

IS THERE A WAY TO SPEED THIS UP IN. >> HE CAN HIT ON THAT.

THERE IS A STAGGERING APPROACH THAT HE CAN TAKE TO THE PROJECT THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE SCOPE, BUT I'LL LET HIM TOUCH ON THAT BECAUSE I THINK ONCE YOU HEAR HIM TALK ABOUT THE PHASING APPROACH ABOUT BIDDING IT WILL MAKE MORE SENSE HOW THEY IS QUENT SHALI SET THAT UP TO

ENSURE THE PROJECT MOVES QUICKER AND QUICKLY. >> IF THERE IS ANY WAY TO SPEED

IT UP, THAT SURE WOULD BE -- >> I'LL LET HIM DESCRIBE THAT IS QUENT SHALL PROCESS AND I THINK

THAT WILL ANSWER THE QUESTION. >> OKAY. >> BUT IT IS ALSO NOT A SMALL PROJECT, RIGHT THIS IS IS A 68,000-SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING, HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED BILLING FROM A TECHNOLOGICAL STANDPOINT, SO I MEAN THIS IS A LARGE, A LARGE PROJECT.

I THINK THEIR CONTRACTOR ALLOWS FOR ALMOST 10,000 MAN HOURS TO GO FOR THIS PROJECT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT UNDERTAKING THAT WILL TAKE TIME. OKAY,

>> THERE ARE SO MANY CONSULTANTS INVOLVED, THE SITE, AS YOU KNOW, HAS TOPOGRAPHY ISSUE, REGRADING THAT WILL HAPPEN WITH FLOODING WITH THE INTERSECTION AND AIRLINE THE SIGNALING NOW IS GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE WITH THAT NEW INTERSECTION AND DRIVE. THERE IS A LOT OF ENGINEERING INVOLVED. IT IS VERY MUCH WE'RE GOING TO WORK A EFFICIENTLY AS WE CAN, BUT THIS KIND OF PROJECT IS DEFINITELY GOING TO TAKE 9 TO 10 MONTHS.

NOT TO GET INTO THE DELIVERY METHOD, BUT AT A MINIMUM WE'RE GOING TO DO A DELIVERY METHOD THAT HAS A CONSTRUCTION

[4. Approve a 5-year real estate lease and professional services agreement...]

[00:58:13]

>> I'M NOT SUPER FAMILIAR WHAT HAS BEEN DONE SENSE HARVEY. I CAN GET THAT INFORMATION FOR

[00:58:17]

[00:58:21]

[00:58:28]

[00:58:32]

[5. Approve Amendments to the Bylaws for the City of Victoria's Tourism Ad...]

>> AYE. >> THOSE OPPOSE, SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES.

ITEM E 5. >> E 5 IS A RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO THE BUY LEWS OF

THE CITY OF VICTOR ACCURACY'S TOURISM AND ADVISORY BOARD. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS EPG, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I AM JUST BACK HERE TO PROVIDE A BRIEF PRESENT 8 AND FOR YOUR ALL APPROVAL TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO OUR TOURISM ADVISORY BOARD.

JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW FOR WHO CURRENTLY SERVES ON OUR BOARD RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE NINE ACTIVE MEMBERS. THREE FOR LODGING, INCLUDING JAMES WEIRDAN, BRENDAGA HARD DOE

[01:00:01]

ANDRO AFTERNOON IS THAT FRESH VICIA MALL. AND OWNER AND OPERATOR.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE FOUR VACANT POSITIONS. WE ARE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THOSE RIGHT NOW UNTIL NOVEMBER 11TH AND I CAN SAY JUST FOR THE PUBLIC, WE ARE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS IF YOU FIT INTO ONE OF THOSE CATEGORY, WE'RE SEEING VERY SOLID APPLICATIONS. I THINK IT WILL BE A TOUGH DECISION NEAR A COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR THOSE OPEN SPOTS ON THE BOARD. AND I AM KIND OF DOING A JOINT PRESENT 8 FOR THE TWO ITEMS I HAVE LISTED INCLUDING THE BUY LAU CHANGES AND RESOLUTION FOR

EXTENDING THE TERMS. >> YIELD FIN MINUTES. SO JUST A ANOTHER APPROACH THAT CAME HERE A FEW WEEKS BACK AND WE TALKED ABOUT BUY LAU CHANGES AND COUNCIL DECIDED TO TABLE THAT FOR A DIFFERENT APPROACH I NET WITH OUR CITY SECRETARY AND TALKED WITH OUR LEGAL TEAM.

AND I THINK WE'VE COME TO A LITTLE BIT SIMPLER OF A SOLUTION.

THE DESIRE WAS TO EFFECTIVELY STAGGER THE TERM OF OUR BORE MEMBERS SO THEY'RE NOT ALL ENDS TONGUE SAME YEAR. WE ACTUALLY APPROACHED IT BY NOT MAKING ANY BUY LAU CHANGES IN TERMS OF OUR BOARD TERMS. BUT SIMPLY EXTENDING VIA RESOLUTION, THE TERMS OF CERTAIN BOARD MEMBERS. AND I WOULD LIKE TO PREFIX THIS BY SAYING ALL OF THESE CHANGES HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY OUR BOARD AT OUR AUGUST MEETING SO WE WOULD BE A RESOLUTION TONIGHT, EXTEND THE TERMS OF CERTAIN POSITIONS ON THE BOARD AND THIS WOULD EFFECTIVELY STAGGER.

THERE WE HAVE A NUMBER, HALF OF THE BOARD ENDING IN AN ODD YEAR AND TERMS ENDING IN AN ODD YEAR AND ANOTHER HALF OF THE BOARD ENDING IN AN EVEN YEARS. THOSE EXTENDED TONIGHT WOULD BE OUR LODGING POSITIONS. I THINK WE, YOU KNOW, CAN ALL AGREE THOSE ARE SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT POSITIONS ON OUR BOARDS THE ARTS POSITION THAT IS ONE THAT IS ALWAYS A LOT OF ATTRACTS A LOT OF ATTENTION, GREAT APPLICATION AND VERY IMPORTANT AND HISTORIC

PRESERVATION AND POSITIONS TO OUR BOARD. >> OUR BUY LAU CHANGES THAT IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST RESOLUTION UP, JUST SOME MINOR CHANGES TO THAT AS I MENTIONED WE WON'T BE MAKING ANY CHANGES AS I SUGGESTED THE LAST MEETING I WAS AT FOR THE BOARD TERMS FOR BOARD MEMBER, BUT JUST SOME MINOR GRAMATICAL CHANGES AND REFERENCE TO OFFICERS, EXTENDING THE TERMS FOR CURRENT BOARD OFFICERS FROM TO MAKE IT A TERM OF TWO YEARS AND OFFICERS MAY NOT CONSERVE MORE THAN TWO CONSECUTIVE TERMS AND SOME CHANGES IN RELATION TO QUORUM.

THERE WAS SOME CONFLICTING LANGUAGE IN THOSE BUY LAUS AT THED A VEETION OF OUR CITY SECRETARY. WE TOOK A COUPLE OF SENTENCES OUT TO SIMPLIFYING I IT.

AND SECTION 5.4.1, RIGHT NOW THERE IS NOTHING IN THERE THAT SAYS HOW SUBCOMMITTEES WERE FORMED. THE BOARDS CHAIR IT IS IMPLIED THE BOARD CHAIR THIS IS JUST

CLARIFYING THAT A LITTLE BIT. >> YOU CAN GO BACKWARDS ONE SLIDE, PLEASE.

ONE MORE. MAXIMUM OF THREE CONSECUTIVE TERMS THAT IS CURRENT.

>> YES, SIR. >> AND SO WE REDUCE IT TO TWO. >> THEY CAN SERVE.

THEY CAN SERVE A MAXIMUM OF THREE CONSECUTIVE TERMS, THEY'RE TWO-YEAR TERMS.

WE'RE EXTENDING THE CURRENT TERMS. >> NOT CHANGING THAT TONIGHT.

THAT IS OFFICERS VERSUS CHAIR MEMBERS. >> IT IS KIND OF ODD.

>> I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT CONFUSION. THAT IS GENERAL MEMBERS VERSUS

OFFICERS. >> THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD BE DOING TONIGHT, EXTENDING TERMS FOR OFFICERS. AND THOSE ARE CURRENTLY WITH THE VICTORIA COLLEGE, AND ASHLEY MCGEE IS OUR SPORTS AND OUTDOOR AND OUR SUBCOMMITTEE, THE ONLY CURRENT SUBCOMMITTEE WE HAVE IS THE HOT FUNDS AWARD SUBCOMMITTEE. ALL OF THOSE MEETINGS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. AND AT THIS TIME WE DON'T FORESEE THE FORM 8 OF ANY OTHER

SUBCOMMITTEES BUT THAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. >> YOU'REE TENDING THE TERMS OF

THE OFFICERS OR EXTENDING THEIR TERMS AS BOARD MEMBER? >> JUST THEIR TERMS OF OFFICERS, RIGHT NOW THE BUY LAUS ONE-YEAR TERM IS NOT VERY CLEAR. SO WE WANTED TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME. THEY'VE BEEN DOING A FANTASTIC JOB.

IT WASN'T VERY CLEAR WHEN WE SET IT UP HOW MANY TERMS OF BOARD OFFICERS COULD SERVE, SO WE EXTENDED THEIR TERMS AND DID PUT A CAP IN THEIR THERE ON HOW MANY TERMS IT COULD SERVE.

JUST WASN'T CLEAR WHEN IS THE FIRST TERM. >> OWHAT WE'RE GOING DO REVOTED

[01:05:27]

OFFICERS. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> IS THAT IT? >> THAT IS -- AND THAT'S IT. >> THANK YOU.

WANT TO MAKE AT THIS FIFTH AND 6TH CONSECUTIVE OR VOTE ON IT SEPARATELY?

>> DO IT TOGETHER. >> I MOVE THAT WE ADOPT. >> LET HER E 6 FIRST.

[6. Approve Extending the Current Terms of Board Members of the City of Vi...]

>> E 6 APPROVING THE EXTENSION OF THE CURRENT TERMS OF BOARD MEMBER OF THE CITY OF VICTORIES

TOURISM ADVISORY BOARD. >> I MOVE THAT WE ADOPT E 5 AND E 6 TOGETHER.

FURTHER DISCUSSION? >> E HEARING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

[1. Compost Facility and Landfill Rate Increase Update. Darryl Lesak, Dire...]

THOSE OPPOSE SAME SIGN. MOTION IS CARRIED. >> ONTO CITY MANAGER REPORTS.

>> ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE TWO TONIGHT. DARRYL IS GOING TO SPEARHEAD THE FIRST ONE. HE'S GOING TO TAKE A TOTAL OF 60 SECONDS, I THINK.

>> IS THAT A CHALLENGE? YOU KNOW HOW I AM WITH CHALLENGES.

90 SECONDS. >> 90 SECONDS, OKAY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, TONIGHT NIGHT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT A COUPLE OF RATE INCREASE, ACTUALLY I'M GOING TO TOUCH ON ALL THREE REAL QUICKLY, FOR ALL OF OUR --FOR OUR COMMERCIAL, OUR LANDFILL AND OUR COMPOST FACILITY. THEY'RE ALL DRIVEN. ALL OF OUR RIGHTS ARE DRIVEN BY CPI. WE USE THE SAME LANGUAGE FOR THE MOST PART.

IT IS ALL ALL IDENTITY. SOME HAVE FUEL. SOME DO NOT.

SOME HAVE GAS, SOME HAVE DIESEL, THEY ALL DIFFERENT IN A LITTLE DIFFERENT WAY AND I'M GOING GO THROUGH THAT REAL QUICKLY TONIGHT JUST SO THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS HOW THESE THINGS GO.

>> SO WE HAVE AN INCREASE COMING FOR THE CITY RATE AT REPUBLIC. AND AND REPUBLIC IS ONE OF THOSE ACCURATES -- IF YOU REMEMBER I WAS HERE A FEW MONTHS AGO TALKING ABOUT ASHFORD, OUR DEBRIS MANAGEMENT CONTRACTOR, REPUBLIC COULD HAVE ASKED FOR AN HEN+% RATE INCREASE.

HOWEVER, WE HAVE A LIMIT IN REPUBLIC'S ACCOUNT CONTRACT THAT SAYS THEY CAN ONLY INCREASE UP TO 8% IN ANY TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS. SO THAT MEANS 4% A YEAR, 5 AND 3 AND SO AFTER DISCUSSIONS REPUBLIC THEY DECIDED TO GO UP 4% THIS YEAR AND WITHHOLD THE OTHER 4 FOR NEXT YEAR. AND SO THE NEW RATE FOR REPUBLIC WILL GO FROM 31.20 TO 33.17 THIS DOES NOT NEAT NEED COUNSEL APPROVAL AS PART OF THE CONTRACT.

AND THIS IS FOR CITY RATE O ONLY THE OUTSIDE RAID GOES UP 4%. OUR SLEJ SLUDGE WILL GO UP TO 10.13 A TON MOVING ONTO GARDENVILLE, LOOKING AT A 13.9% INCREASE BASED OFF CPI, HOWEVER, THEY USE CAS GASOLINE, NOT DIESEL. IT IS A VERY DIFFERENT PROCESS USING DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT THAN WHAT IS USED AT THE LANDFILL OR WHAT WASTE MANAGEMENT USES ON A DALE DAILY BASIS. AND SO WE WILL SEE AN INCREASE THERE FROM 44.79 PER TON TO 51.05 PER TON. ARE YOU WITH ME SO FAR? OKAY.

AND THEN I WANT TO TOUCH REAL BRIEFLY ON WASTE MANAGEMENT APPROVED EARLIER, BUT I WANT TO TOUCH BASE BECAUSE IT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT AS WELL. YOU SEE THE ITEMS AT 17.6, WASTE MANAGEMENT IS DIESEL, NOT GASOLINE WHICH IS WHAT GARDENVILLE WAS.

THAT RATE IS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT WHICH BRINGS IT UP TO 16.6% AND AN INCREASE OF OR ANN ACCURACY OF 16.6% SO A 6-YARD OR ESSENTIALLY GO FROM 13116 TO 14614 AN INCREASE OF 1498.

NOW THESE ARE THE HIGHEST INCREASES WE IN MY 35 YEARS OF DOING THIS, I'VE EVER SEEN.

AND SO OUR HOPE IS THAT AS THINGS HOPEFULLY NORMALIZE AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THROUGH THE

[01:10:07]

IF THEY COME IN NEXT YEAR AND THEY'RE LOWER, THE THE PRICE WILL DECREASE ALL OF OUR CONTRACTS PRETTY MUCH HAVE THE SAME LANGUAGE LOOSING THE SAME MONTHS AND THIS IS SOMETHING THE CITY PUTS IN SO REGARDLESS OF THE CONTRACTOR, THESE ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE'LL SEE

ON THE SOLID WASTE SIDE. AND I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> I WISH I HAD BETTER NEWS.

>>. >> LET US HOPE THAT IT WILL DECREASE NEXT YEAR, WE WON'T

HOLD YOU TO IT. >> PLEASE, DON'T, BUT THERE IS THAT POSSIBILITY.

>> THANKS FOR G GETTING THE LIMITS THAT YOU GOT. >> ALL RIGHT.

[2. Park Facilities Assessment and Sport Tourism Update. Jason Alfaro, Dir...]

I WANTED TO COME IN AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHAT THE GOING NONTHE SPORTS TOURISM.

I KNOW THE MAYOR HAS A TIME, I'M GOING TO TALK FAST. HERE IS WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON.

WE HAVE. PRELIMINARIED A FEW LITTLE CHANGES.

WE'RE TRYING TO PIONEER THIS INDUSTRY FOR VICTORIA AND SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

OF COURSE, WE'VE HAD BRANDING WHICH YOU ALL HAD, SWAG BAGS IN YOUR CHAIRS WHEN YOU GOT IN THIS EVENING, THOSE ARE WHAT ALL WE'VE COME UP WITH WITH OUR NEW SPORTS TOUR IMP LOGO.

WE'RE WORKING ON DOING THE FACILITIES ASSESSMENT WHICH JOE IS GOING TO SPEAK ON THAT HERE IN JUST A BIT. WE'VE HAD OUR FIRST ANNUAL RIVERSIDE ROAD TRYING TO UTILIZE OTHER AREAS OF VICTORIA, OTHER THAN JUST YOUR CONVENTIONAL SPORTS TRYING TO OPEN THAT UP TO OTHER INTERESTS AND OTHER MARKS THAT WE CAN CAPITALIZE ON I'VE BEEN OUT NETWORKING.

I MET HIM THROUGH BUN OF THE NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES AND I'M GRATEFUL THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO

THAT THAT IS KIND OF AN EVER. >> VIEW OF WHAT IS DEVELOP O GOING ON THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR. AND AS FAR AS WHAT IS COMING UP UP THIS WEEKEND WE'RE ACTUALLY HOSTING THE PUNT, PASS AND KICK -- NOT SURE WHAT YOU CALL IT, IT IS NOT A TOURNAMENT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'RE GOING BE THE FIRST CITY IN TEXAS TO ACTUALLY HOPE THE FIRST ADAPTIVE PUNT, PASS AND KICK THIS SATURDAY OUT AT THE DREAM COMPLEX ACROSS FROM THE PARKS OFFICE IF YOU GUYS ARE OUT AND ABOUT AND YOU WANT TO STOP IN BETWEEN 9 AND 12 AND CHECK THAT OUT AND SEE. WE'RE 9 PIERING THAT AND KIND OF LIKE WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? HOW DO WE DO THAT? AND NOW WE WILL BE THE RESOURCES FOR OTHER CITIES IN TEXAS THAT WANT TO DO THAT. STPGA WILL BE HERE, OUR WINTER GAMES OF TEXAS THAT THAT WE HOST FROM TAFT UP 8 GAMES IN 2022 TO 12 GAMES THIS COMING YEAR FOR '23.

TWO WILL BE SANCTIONED GAMES SO WE'RE HOPING THAT WILL DRAW IN MORE CROWDS THAT FOLLOW THOSE ORGANIZATIONS WE WERE R ALSO GOING TO HOST A USTA SANCTIONED ADAPTIVE TENNIS TOURNAMENT.

WE'VE TALKED WITH VC OR VICTORIA COUNTRY CLUB AND THAT PARTNERSHIP HAS BEEN ABOLISHED AND THEY'RE WILLING TO HELP US OUT AS WELL. MEETING WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS EACH QUARTER AND TOUCHING BASE AND LETTING THEM KNOW, HERE IS WHAT WE'RE DOING WHAT DO YOU HAVE GOING ON? HOW CAN WE HELP YOU WITH THAT TYPE OF THING AND KEEPING THOSE NETWORK AND PARTNERSHIP IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. WE BROUGHT WE'LL BE USING THEIR FACILITIES HOST 10 ITS FOR SO WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THOSE PARTNERSHIPS AND, OF COURSE, WE HAVE AAGA COMING UP THAT WILL BE A BIG DEAL OUT AT RIVERSIDE YOU'VE GOT A LIST THERE IN FRONT OF YOU, THOSE ARE OTHER CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE HAPPENING, THINGS THAT ARE IN THE WORKS, PROPOSALS THAT ARE GOING IDENTITY. JUST, AGAIN TO KIND OF BREAK SOME OF THAT CONVENTIONALISM OF SPORTS AND GRAB SOME OF THOSE OTHER INTERESTS THAT HAVE OTHER

[01:15:02]

SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT, OR IF YOU DO, BUT I'VE GOT JOE FACTLE HERE WITH MATT HELM THROUGH ONE OF THE SUMMITS, JAMES I'M GOING TO TO BREAK SOMETHING FOR YOU AND HE HAS A PRESENT PUT TOGETHER. IN THE MASTER PLAN IT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT FACILITIES WERE GOING TO NEED AN ASSESSMENT. WE FOUND SOMEONE THAT CAN DO THAT FOR US AND I'D LIKE YOU TO HEAR FROM HIM. INTO THANK YOU, 34EURB SHELL. GOOD EARTHQUAKE, CAME FROM I MET MICHELE AS SHE SAID IN A SPORTS INDUSTRY CONFERENCE IN FORT WORTH A COUPLE COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND MADE A VISIT DOWN TO VICTORIA IN JUNE AND BLOWN AWAY BY THE COMMUNITY I HAD THE IT IS REALLY RARE THAT I GO TO A COMMUNITY THAT I GO HOLY COW, I HAD NO IDEA VICTORIA HAD RIVERSIDE PARK AND GREAT FACILITIES AND I THINK IT IS SMART FOR 3U9 SPORTS TOURNISM YOUR PLAN. IT IS GROWING LIKE CRAZY. OUR FIRM WORKS WITH CITIES TO PLAN, DEVELOP AND OPERATE SPORTS RECREATION WELLNESS EVENTS AND ENTERTAINMENT FACILITIES.

AND I HAVE A BRIEF PRESENT 8, MAYOR I THINK YOU'LL APPRECIATE THIS I WAS ONCE GIVEN THESE WORDS OF ADVICE BEFORE PRESENTING TO CITY COUNCIL, BE BRIEF, BE BRILLIANT AND BE GONE.

SO WITH THAT SPIRIT I'M HERE TONIGHT. BUT OUR AGENDA WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR BACKGROUND. WE ACTUALLY DO A LOT OF WORK WITH ASSOCIATE AND SHARE WHAT WE'VE BEEN TASKED TO DO. TIMELINES OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND THEN, LEAVE SOME TIME FOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. WE'VE GOT A MISSION THAT REALLY MAKES ME PROUD THIS IS WHY WE GET UP IN THE MORNING IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND ECONOMIC VITALITY OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE THROUGH PORTS SPORTS, RECREATION, WELLNESS EVENTS AND ENTERTAINMENT FACILITIES AND ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS SLIDE YOU CAN SEE JUST A HANDFUL OF COMMUNITIES THAT WE SERVED.

WE WORKED NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY AND BEEN AROUND SINCE 2003.

SERVED ALMOST 3,000 COMMUNITIES NOW. AND IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF A REAL ARMS RACE AS IT RELATES TO YOUTH AND AMATEUR FACILITIES.

YOU PROBABLY HAVE RESIDENTS THAT ASK YOU, WHY DO I HAVE TO GO TO HOUSTON TO PLAY HOCKEY OR I'M TIRED OF GOING TO SAN ANTONIO FOR TENNIS TOURNAMENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND SO FUNDAMENTALLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO HELP YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND IT IS, WHAT IS IT HERE THAT COULD BE AND SHOULD BE. WHAT KINDS OF IMPROVEMENTS CAN YOU MAKE TO YOUR EXISTING SPORTS ASSETS TO DRIVE MORE PEOPLE INTO VICTORIA TO SPENDS MORE TIME AT YOUR ZOO AND GO TO THE PUMP HOUSE AND EAT AT YOUR RESTAURANTS AND STATESA ANY YOUR HOTELS AND DRIVES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF BACK. AND WE ARE A REALLY WELL-KNOWN COMMODITY IN THIS SPACE IF BEEN AROUND 18 YEARS AND WORKED WITH A LOT OF COMMUNITIES AND ANSWERED QUESTIONS LIKE THIS. SO WE HAVE ARO MAP HERE THIS JUST I WANT TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA HOW WE SERVE CLIENTS. WE CALL THIS FROM CONCEPT TO CONCRETE, WE GET 40 CALLS A WEEK FROM PEOPLE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE IS SAN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEIR COMMUNITY TO DEVELOP SOME SPORTS OF SPORTS OR RECREATION ASSET. HERE IS WHAT WE'RE THINKING, WE HAVE NO IDEA IF WE CAN SUPPORT THAT OR WHAT IT IS GOING TO COST OR HOW WE'RE GOING OPERATE I.

WE DO A LOT OF THE PREADVISORY WORK THAT IS STAGE ONE, TWO AND 3.

ONCE A PROJECT HAS BEEN GREEN LIT WE KNOW HOW IT IS GOING TO BE FINANCEED AND WE'RE ACTUALLY FINANCING ON 12 PROJECTS AROUND AROUND THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW WE'RE DRIVING A COMPLETE PROD UGMOTE CITIES ARE NOT IN THE SPORTS FACILITY DEVELOPMENT GAME IT IS A DIFFERENT ANIMAL AND WE WE'VE GOTTEN PRETTY GOOD AT IT AND REALLY DEEP TEAM SO WE KNOW HOW THESE FACILITIES OPERATE BECAUSE IF YOU MOVE TO 17, 8 AND 9 WE OPERATE A 40 HERE IS IS A MAP.

[01:20:01]

WE OPERATE THESE FOUR FACILITIES HERE IN TEXAS, THE EVENTED CENTER IN BRIAN.

THE EPICENTER WHICH IS A PROJECT THAT RECENTLY GOT THE GO-AHEAD AND CYCLE AND BALL PARKS AND PECOS AND RATE THE SO REALLY WIDE VARIETY OF FACILITIES THAT WE OPERATE.

YOU GUYS KNOW HEAD LEADER IN DONE WORK HERE IN VICTORIA AND THEY HAVE SECOND TO NONE WHEN IT COMES TO VISUALIZING WHAT IS POSSIBLE. SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'VE OUTLIMEED AND IN OUR PROPOSAL IS TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. TALK TO US ABOUT YOUR EXISTING ASSETS, WHAT IMPROVEMENTS MIGHT YOU MAKE IN ORDER TO DRIVE MORE EVENTS INTO VICTORIA WHAT DO YOU NOT HAVE THAT YOU SHOULD OR COULD. I'M SURE YOU'RE GETTING ASKED ABOUT PICKLEBALL ALL THE TIME LIKE EVERY OTHER OFFICIAL IN AMERICA SEEMS TO BE TOP OF MIND WITH EVERY RES SPENT AND AND EVERY WE HAVE A METHODOLOGY THAT WE EMPLOYED IN ORDER TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. A PROJECT KICK-OFF CULLED LED BY OUR PRINCIPAL AND ONE OF OUR ACCOUNT EXECUTIVES, WE'LL DO AN EXISTING DATA REVIEW AND HIGH LEVEL MARKET ANALYSIS AND FIGURE OUT WHAT ARE THE DEMOGRAPHICS AND THE SPORTS PARTICIPATION RATES AND WHO ARE THEIS ISING PROVIDERS OF THOSE ACTIVITIES HERE IN VICTORIA, EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AND I THINK MICHELE AND JASON AND KIMBERLY WILL BE GREAT RESOURCES AS WE DO THAT WORK AND BRING A TEAM TO DO A SITE TOUR. WE'VE IDENTIFIED A HANDFUL OF FACILITIES THAT ARE WHAT I WOULD CALL PRIORITY, THE YOUTH SPORTS COMPLEX AND THE VARIOUS ASSETS AT RIVERSIDE PARK INCLUDING THE STADIUM, THE SOCCER COMPLEX THE GOLF CLUBHOUSE AND RANGE AND COME BACK WITH AN ANALYSIS RECOMMENDATIONS, OPINIONS OF COST, AND THE PACKAGE IN MARKET FEASIBILITY REPORT THAT WILL HAVE ALL OF THAT INFORMATION THERE READILY AVAILABLE.

ULTIMATELY WE WANT YOU TO BE IN A POSITION TO MAKE REALLY GOOD DECISIONS ON THE BEHALF OF CITY OF VICTORIA AND HALF CAN DO A FOLLOW-ON SET OF SERVICES INCLUDING TEST KITS AND 3-D RENDERING AND THAT THEY'RE TO GOOD AT. SOE THE TIMELINE ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT LIKE THIS IS 12 TO 16 WEEKS BROKEN DOWN IN THESE BUCKETS, FIRST, THING EXISTING DATARY VIEW AND MARKET ANALYSIS WILL BE ON SITE FOR TWO DAYS, WE'LL TAKE THEM FOUR WEEKS TO DO THE EXISTING FACILITY ANALYSIS AND OPINION OF COST. NEW FACILITY RECOMMENDATIONS WILL TAKE THREE WEEKS AND THE MARKET FEASIBILITY WILL TAKE FOUR WEEKS THAT IS THE TIME LINE I'VE GONE VERY QUICKLY. IN THE FROM OF TIME BUT HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS YOU ALL HAVE.

>> IT IS A POSSIBILITY OF BUILDING AN INDOOR SOCCER BUILDING, BECAUSE WE USED TO HAVE TO GO TO HOUSTON WHEN THE KIDS WERE PLAYING SOCCER AND I KNOW WITH ENTER IS A LOT OF

SOCCER FANS HERE. >> I DON'T MEAN TO SOUND COY OR SMART, BUT IT IS JUST A MATTER OF HOW MUCH MON YOU WANT TO SPEND TO BE QUITE HONEST. THAT IS WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE. FIRST OF ALL, YOU TO HAVE ENOUGH PLAYERS TO SUPPORT IT.

AND JUST SO 82 ALL UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU SAY SPORTS TOURISM WE'RE FALK TYPICALLY A FOUR TO 6-HOUR DRIVE TIME. IF YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR LOCATION AND HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU CAN TAP INTO, PROBABLY THE HOTTEST YOWL SPORTS MARKETS, DALLAS FORT WORTH, AUSTIN, SAN ANTONIO, WE CAN ABSOLUTELY LOOK AT AN INDOOR, THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'VE SCOPED BUT WE DO, WE'LL DO 120 FEASIBILITY PROJECTS THIS YEAR AND MANY ARE ANSWERING THE SAME QUESTION

ABOUT INDOOR OR ICE OR AQUATICS OR WHATEVER IT IS. >> WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT CITY FACILITIES, CAN YOU ALSO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE IMREAMENTDS WE HAVE LIKE THROUGH THE WMCA. DID THEY EXPLAIN THAT TO YOU? I'M SURE STAFF CAN, HOW THAT

WORKS. >> THOSE ARE IMPORTANT STAKEHOLDERS WE NEED TO KNOW AND HAVE IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS. WE WORK WITH NOT ONLY YMCA BUT OTHER USER GROUPS AND LITTLE

LEAGUE, WHATEVER IT IS. >> A JOINT USE AGREEMENT. >> YEP.

[01:25:05]

>> WELL, WILL YOU BE CONSIDERING, THE CITY OF VICTORIA WHICH IS THIS ENTITY THAT WE'RE A COUNSEL OF, BUT THERE IS ALSO A COMMUNITY OF VICTORIA, IS YOUR FOCUS CITY AND

CITY PROJECTS? OR IS IT COMMUNITY. >> IT IS A GREAT QUESTION, WE'RE FOCUSED ON THE BEST WAYS TO DRIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT THROUGH PEOPLE COMING INTO VICTORIA FOR EVENTS, TOURNAMENTS, CAMPS, CLINNENS, SHOWCASES. NOW IF YOU DO THAT AND WE'VE GO A PORTFOLIO OF ASSETS THOSE WILL ACTUALLY SERVE VICTORIA AND THE VICTORIA COMMUNITY MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY OF THE WEEK, WE ARE VERY, VERY IN TUNE WITH THE IMPORTANCE OF LOCAL USE.

SO MOST OF THE FACILITIES THAT WERE INVOLVED WITH THE IDEA IS YOU BUILD IT TO SERVE YOUR LOCALS DURING THE WEEK AND THEN ON THE WEEKENDSH YOU GET PEOPLE TO COME TO TOWN, HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX, PAY FOR YOUR ZOO AND ROADS AND AGAIN THIS IS A $50 BILLION INDUSTRY AND NOT GETTING

SMALLER. >> SO. >> ALL RIGHT, THAT IS SIT FOR

[H. Executive Sessions:]
