SEE ANYBODY WORKING. >> MY NAME IS KEN AND I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND START WITH GARY ROAD.

THEY ARE 95% COMPLETE WITH THE STORM SEWER WHICH WAS A BUNCH OF UNDERGROUND WORK BUT THEY HAVE 30 FEET LEFT.

THE WATERLINE IS IN THE WAY. THEY ARE 50% COMPLETE WITH THE WATERLINE REPLACEMENT WHICH IS 16 INCH.

THEY ARE STILL ON TRACK FOR COMPLETING THE PROJECT IN DECEMBER. THEY'RE WAITING ON GETTING THE

[00:15:01]

>> THEIR CLUB IN THE WRONG PRETTY GOOD ON THAT ONE.

>> COSTCASTLE WE ARE EXPERIENCING DING.

THE STREETS DID SOME RESEARCH MYSELF TO VERIFY TEXAS TECH DID SOME RESEARCH YEARS WHAT CAUSES AUSES IT? ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS TEMPERATURES WHEN THEY GET OVER ER 100. AND YOU GET HIGH HUMIDITY.

A SICKLY WHAT WE'RE HITTING RIGHT NOW.

THE ASPHALT NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO CURE.

IT IS CURING TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 90 TO 95?.

PLUS OR MINUS. TEMPERATURE SPIKED UP 200.

IS THE PREFERRED METHOD ACROSS THE STATE AND ACROSS OTHER STATES. IT HAS IMPROVED.

ONE THING WE ARE SEEING AND WE MAY HAVE TO TAKE AND HIT IT AGAIN IS THE INTERSECTION. THAT'S WHERE THE TURNING MOVEMENT IS. IT IS GETTING BETTER.

IT'S GETTING THAT ASPHALT CURED.

>> TO THE NEED TO PUT MORE LIME WATER?

>> WE MAY NEED TO PUT SOME LINE OF THE CONTRACTOR WITH A WATER TRUCK IS OUT. WE DO HAVE A WATER TRUCK AND WE CAN DO IT. I WOULD RATHER KEEP IT LIMITED TO THE INTERSECTIONS. I NOTICED THE INTERSECTION AT KINGSWAY AND SALEM IS BLEEDING PRETTY GOOD.

I MAY SEE IF I CAN GET STREETS TO GET OUT THERE AND PUT WATER

ON THOSE INTERSECTIONS. >> THERE WAS A TRUCK DOING PATCHES THERE ONE DAY. THERE ARE SOME HOLES THAT NEVER

EXISTED BEFORE. >> THAT IS SOMETHING ONCE WE GET THROUGH THESE HIGH TEMPERATURES AND IT SETTLES THE STREET I HOPE IT SETTLES DOWN WE GET OUT THERE WITH THE CONTRACTOR AND LOOK AT EVERYTHING WE NEED TO REPAIR

AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THAT. >> REMEMBER WE STILL HAVE THEM UNDER CONTRACT. THEY ARE STILL UNDER CONTRACT.

>> ONCE IT SETTLES DOWN TO THE REPAIRS DUE TO ANOTHER LAYER OF

ONYX? >> WE MAY END UP DOING SOME ON X AFTER. UNTIL WE GET IT IRONIC THAT LIME WATER OFTEN BEAR TO SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE.

IT'S HARD TO SEE ONESELF WATER IS THERE.

ANOTHER ONYX HAS DONE A LOT OF GOOD.

PEOPLE WOULD SAY IT DIDN'T BUT I'VE HAD EXPERIENCE WHERE WE CAN DO THE ONYX I WANT TO STREET BLOOD IT WAS ENOUGH TO READ TO PUT ANOTHER LAYER OF ROCK ON IT.

THIS ONE AS I WENT THROUGH IT DOING THAT, IT JUST MAKES A GRAVEL STREET. IT'S NOT BLEEDING ENOUGH FOR

THAT ROCK CAN STICK. >> IT WOULD ALSO BE NICE IF THEY SWEEP THE GRAVEL OUT OF THE GUTTERS.

THE SEWERS WILL FILL UP. >> I WILL GET THEM WHAT THAT TOO. THAT CAPABILITY IS IN THE

CONTRACT ALSO. >> WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE HOW FAR ARE WE FROM STREET SWEEPER BEING READY?

>> I SAW JUNE 30. >> RIGHT NOW THEY ARE TRAINING. THEY ARE GOING OVER EVERYTHING AND PUTTING ON THE GUTTER BROOMS. SHOWING OUR EMPLOYEES HOW TO PUT THEM ON AND WHAT TO WATCH FOR. TRAINING THIS WEEK I EXPECT THEM UP AND RUNNING NEXT WEEK STARTING ON THE REPAIRS.

MAYBE YOU WOULD DO THE JOB YOU PROMISED TO DO.E ASK FOR STREETLIGHTS TO BE PUT ON ON KELLY STREET BUT WE NEED ONE MORE IN BETWEEN THE TWO BOATS UP THERE.

IT'S 3202. WE NEED A LIGHT THERE.

WE STILL ARE HAVING A PROBLEM, I THINK SOMEONE JUST MENTIONED IT, PATCHING THE STREET, CHRIS STREET.

IT COMPLETELY NEEDS WORK AS POSSIBLE.

THIS IS PRINCE STREET. AND THEN WE STILL HAVE THE BIG TRUCK COMING FROM, I CAN'T MEMBER THE COMPANY BUT THEY ARE STILL COMING DOWN KELLY STREET. IT'S THOSE BIG TRUCKS THAT ARE COMING DOWN KELLY STREET. THEY MAKE LOTS OF NOISE.

IT IS CONSTANTLY. >> THE RECYCLER?

>> MIGHT BE WASTE MANAGEMENT. >> THOSE KEEPS TRUCKS KEEP COMING DOWN TO NOTHING OF OUR STREET.

THIS IS SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T PROMISE BUT WE HAVE TRANSPORTATION PEOPLE THAT COME ON THE BUSES AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY SEAT TO SIT IN OR NOTHING TO COVER THEM UP LIKE IN OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY.

WE HAVE LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT CATCH THAT BUS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I PROMISE I WILL TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE USING THE TRANSPORTATION.

>> WHAT IS YOUR ADDRESS? >> 3502 CALAIS.

>> OKAY THANK YOU. >> THIS IS TO THE PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT. YOU PROMISED US THAT THEY WOULD COMPLETE MLK PARK. YOU HAVE A CONTRACT FOR ALREADY HAVE THAT DOWN SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WOULD DO MLK PARK.

NOTHING'S BEEN DONE OUT THERE. WHILE YOU'RE OUT THERE WE NEED TO PROCEED ON TOP OF THE BASKETBALL COURT.

THAT'S NOT IN THE PLAN BUT WE SURE NEED THAT.

YOU MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN THE CITY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU MS. EDWARDS.

>> MISTER HARLEY FISK? >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND INTERESTED CITIZENS.

OVER THE NEXT SIX WEEKS OR SO YOU WILL BE LOOKING TO FILL A NUMBER OF ADVISORY BOARD POSITIONS.

I ASK THAT AS YOU REVIEW THE APPLICANTS YOU MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO SELECT INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL REPRESENT THE CITIZENS OF VICTORIA. NOT JUST THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, THEIR SOCIAL GROUP, THEIR CHURCH, THEIR SPECIAL INTERESTS. VICTORIA IS A DIVERSE COMMUNITY COMPOSED OF DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS, RACES, RELIGIONS, EDUCATION LEVELS AND ECONOMIC STATUS.

WE LIVE IN HOUSES, APARTMENTS, SENIOR LIVING RESIDENCE AND ON THE STREETS. WE LIVE ALONE, AND FAMILY

[00:25:07]

AT HOME WE SPEAK ENGLISH OR SPANISH, OR VIETNAMESE OR ARABIC FOR ANY OF THE MULTITUDE OF OTHER LANGUAGES.

WE ARE RICH, MIDDLE-CLASS, POOR.E ATTEND THE OVER 130 PLACES OF WORSHIP OR WE DON'T. WE ARE STREET OR LESBIAN, OR GAY OR BISEXUAL OR TRANSSEXUAL OR UNLABELED.

OR ANY COMBINATION OF THESE. MOSTLY WE ARE THE CITIZENS OF THIS GREAT CITY THAT'S AT THE CROSSROADS.

WE ARE NOT AUSTIN, HOUSTON, OR CORPUS CHRISTI.

WE ARE VICTORIA. THE INDIVIDUALS THAT YOU CHOOSE TO SIT ON ANY AND MANY ADVISORY BOARDS NEED TO UNDEDERSTAND THA THEY REPRESENT THIS DIVERSITY THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU MISTER FISK. >> WE HAVE COMMISSIONER GARY

BURNS HERE. >> WE HAD AN ADVISORY MEETING YESTERDAY WITH OUR ANIMAL SERVICES A LOT OF ISSUES HAVE COME UP. WE HAVE A NEW DIRECTOR I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT. HE IS TREMENDOUS.

I'VE TRIED TO RUN FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS UNTIL WE FOUND SOMEONE AND I WAS TOTAL FAILURE.

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING BUT MARK CAME IN WITH THE EXPERIENCE AND HE'S TRYING TO SAVE A LOT OF OUR EMPLOYEES.

THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF CHANGES OUT THERE MAY BE ROOTING FOR SOMEONE PLEASE THE FARM. THERE'S A LOT MORE TO THE STREET. PAPER ARE NOT BEING A NEUTERING OR TAKING CARE AND IT FALLS ON SOMEONE CALLS ME THAT I HAVE ONLY. IT'S TOUGH.

THE NOMINATION NOW. IT SHOULD NOT BE TOO BAD UP NORTH. NOT A REPRESENTATIVE BUT ONE OF YOU. .

WE ARE OPEN FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS.

I GUESS SAY I'M REALLY PLEASED AND EXCITED ABOUT THE TURNOVER.

EDUCATION AND JUST TRAINING. WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDING COUNSEL.

MY NAME IS MICHAEL ANDREW I LOLAUNDRY LIVE AT 28.

NSTEAD OF NO LOITERING SIGNS THEY SHOULD A LOT OF NO CAMPING SIGNS. A LOT OF THAT IS GOING ON AT 1302 E. RIO GRANDE. PEOPLE LIVE THERE AND THEY TRASH OUT THE PLACE AND THERE'S NO WANT TO CLEAN IT UP.

LAST TIME CODE ENFORCEMENT HAD TO HIRE A CONTRACTOR BECAUSE THE OWNER DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT HIMSELF.

THERE ARE BICYCLES BEHIND THEIR AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF BREAD ROSE WITH ANTS CRAWLING OVER IT. THE POLICE TO DO THEIR JOB AND PUT A TRESPASS WARNING ON HIM. I HOLD THE OWNER ACCOUNTABLE BECAUSE THE OWNER IS JUST TURNING A BLIND EYE AND YOU PROBABLY WONDER WHERE IT IS. WHERE THAT BIG THING IS THAT SAYS MISTER NICE GUY SMOKE SHOP.

[00:30:06]

IT'S NOT ME TAKING ON THE HOMELESS BECAUSE OF SEEING SOMEONE FROM THE CITY COUNCIL LETTER AND I REPORTED THEM.

I TURN THEM INTO CODE ENFORCEMENT.

IT'S NOT ME PICKING ON HOMELESS PEOPLE.

THEY HAVE A TREE THAT THEY TRIMMED A FEW MONTHS AGO I KNOW AND TAKING CARE OF IT. THEY DO LEAVE THAT DUMPSTER OPEN SO THEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF IT THEY COULD BUT THEY DON'T PICK UP AFTER THEMSELVES. IS RIGHT BY THE SALVATION ARMY.

I WISH SOMEONE FROM THE SALVATION ARMY COULD REFER THEM TO A PLACE TO LIVE AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

ALSO PEOPLE ARE TAKING A SHOWER IN THE PUBLIC LIBRARY AND WASHING THEIR CLOTHES THERE. THEY DO HAVE A POLICY AGAINST THAT NOW. I WISH YOU COULD LOOK INTO THAT. IN THE OLD WEST KEY THERE'S A BUNCH OF PEOPLE LIVING THERE. I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE A PERMIT FOR THEY GO THERE.

I REALIZE IT'S ILLEGAL AND STUFF BUT THAT'S IT HAVE A GOOD DAY. WE APPRECIATE IT.

AS THE MAYOR MENTIONED ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OVER THE PAST YEAR THEY COMPLETED THE PROCESS OF DETERMINING THE METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION FOR MEDICATION.

I ATTENDED MOST OF THESE BOARD MEETING WITNESS TO CHALLENGE THE OFFICE. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN IT WAS CONFUSING AND DIFFICULT. OF COURSE IT WAS COMPLICATED CONSIDERING HOW EFFECTIVE IT GOOD INDIVIDUAL ALLEGATIONS.

THE BOARD WORKED HARD TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT AND ARE COUNCILMEMBERS ADVOCATED FOR THE CITY ULTIMATELY IN COOPERATION WITH NEIGHBORS AND COUNSEL GOVERNMENT.

>> THE MOTION CARRIES AND WE ARE INTO THE CITY MANAGER REPORTS. IF THE CHILD SAFETY PROGRAM FOR THE PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2024 PROGRAM PRESENTED BY MISS

TIFFANY TOTAH. >> GOOD EVENING I'M HERE TO GIVE THE UPDATE FOR THE CHILD SAFETY FUNDS.

AS AN OVERVIEW OF THIS PROGRAM IT DOES INCORPORATE THE CHILD SAFETY GRANTS WHICH APPLICATIONS WILL OPEN NEXT MONTH. THE CHILD SAFETY PROGRAM AND THE PROGRAM BUDGET BASED ON ALLOCATED FUNDING OUR CHILD SAFETY COMMITTEE CONTINUES TO CONTAIN REPRESENTATIVES FROM

VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS. >> WE HAVE TWO REPRESENTATIVES FOR FINANCE WITH VICTORIA A WHICH ARE HUGE HELP WITH THIS PROCESS. MYSELF FROM THE MUNICIPAL COURT, ADAM WEST FROM LEGAL AND SERGEANT ALLEN FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. JUST AS A REMINDER TO THE REPUBLIC AND COUNSEL ABOUT THE PROCESS FOR THE GRANT AND HOW THE FUNDING IS AWARDED THE ORGANIZATIONS ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING NEED TO BE A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION AND NON-TAXING ENTITY THAT OPERATES WITHIN THE CITY OF VICTORIA LIMITS BUT NOT NECESSARILY EXCLUSIVELY SO THEY MAY SERVE A LARGER POPULATION BUT THEY HAVE TO HAVE THEIR BUSINESS OPERATING WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. AND THOSE THAT THEY SERVE MUST SHOW NUMBERS FROM THOSE THAT RESIDE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.

THEY MUST BE ELIGIBLE FOR A USED CATEGORY WHICH PERTAINS TO CHILD SAFETY ABUSE INTERVENTION INTERVENTION DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE AND PREVENTION. THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT THE COMMITTEE WILL LOOK AT UPON REVIEWING THE APPLICATIONS AND THAT IS DOCUMENT COMPLIANCE. THEY GET THE DOCUMENTS WE NEED IT COMPLETED AND THAT THEY SUBMIT THEM TIMELY? THIS IS OUR PROPOSED TIMELINE FOR THE GRANT THIS YEAR.

APPLICATIONS WILL OPEN ON AUGUST 7. THERE WILL BE THREE WORKSHOPS THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THAT TIMEFRAME POSTED ON WEDNESDAY DURING THAT TIME TIMEFRAME.

THEY WILL CLOSE AT 5:00 P.M. ON AUGUST 25 AND WE WILL REVIEW THE APPLICATION AS A COMMITTEE AND MAKE FUNDING ALLOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE ORGANIZATIONS ON SEPTEMBER 1.

[00:40:07]

84 VOLUNTEERS FROM THESE ORGANIZATIONS PERFORMING A LITTLE OVER 1200 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE FOR THOSE ORGANIZATIONS. RIGHT NOW I BELIEVE OUR NUMBERS 12 SAFETY POSITIONS AMONG THE THREE.

ON THE RIGHT IT'S FROM OUR MUNICIPAL COURT AND THEN MIA IDEA GOES FROM OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT THROUGH THIS TRAINING BACK IN JUNE. AND SO WE'VE ADDED THEM TO OUR GROUP. IN FISCAL YEAR 2023 FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVED IS $84,517 WHICH IS PREDICTED TO BE AT THAT. AND THEN FOR NEXT YEAR WE ARE CONTINUING TO SEE A STEADY AMOUNT COMING IN WITH THE VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS. THIS IS A REMINDER TO THE PUBLIC AND TO THE COUNCIL WHERE THIS MONEY COMES FROM.

THESE ARE PAID TO THE TAX ASSESSOR'S OFFICE WHEN PEOPLE REGISTER THEIR VEHICLES. THE DOLLAR 50 THAT'S ADDED ONTO THE VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS AND THEN WE OBTAIN GET ABOUT 62 OR 72% OF THAT TO THE CITY FOR THOSE VEHICLES THAT ARE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. WE DO THAT FUNDING TOWARDS THE PROGRAM NOT ONLY TOWARDS THE GRANTS BUT THE CARSEY PROGRAMS. THIS IS THE BUDGET ALLOCATION. PRELIMINARY IF YOU WILL.

WE ARE LOOKING AT A GRANT BUDGET OF $50,000 $710 ALLOCATED TO VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS THAT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THAT. THAT IS BASED ON A 60% ALLOCATION TO THOSE IZATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY SET THE SUMMIT IF YOU WILL.0% GOES TO THE AND 20% FOR THE CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY PROGRAM. WE HAVE THE REMAINING AMOUNT IN OUR FUND BALANCE. WE ARE PROJECTING AND ENDING FUND BALANCE AT THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR OF $205,274.

WE START THIS PROGRAM WITH THE BALANCE SO IT ALLOWS US TO CONTINUE HAVING IT SO WE DO HAVE A BALANCE THAT KEEPS US TO ENSURE THIS PROGRAM WILL THRIVE.

I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR CHANGES YOU MAY

HAVE. >> I HAVE A QUESTION OUT OF CURIOSITY IN YOUR STATISTICS. YOU HAVE ONE OF UNITS OF

SERVICE. >> UNITS OF SERVICE PROVIDED YOU MAY HAVE AN ORGANIZATION TO FOLLOW THAT SEES 1200 KIDS BUT ONE CHILD MAY GET MORE THAN ONE VISIT TO THAT ORGANIZATION.

THEY MAY NOT SEE THAT CHILD JUST ONE TIME AND SO THEY ARE SHOWING THAT YES, THAT WE HAVE THIS MANY CHILDREN COME THROUGH BUT WE ARE SEEING THIS PERSON THROUGH MULTIPLE SESSIONS WHETHER IT'S COUNSELING, MAYBE A CLASS THAT THEY ARE TAKING WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. SOMETIMES THOSE CHILDREN ARE GETTING MORE THAN ONE SERVICE FOR THAT ENTITY FOR THAT PROPOSED PROGRAM THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING FUNDING FOR.

[00:45:07]

>> THIS IS JASON'S LAST OFFICIAL PRESENTATION TO YOU.

I KNOW HE HAS PREPARED IT WITH A SHOW.

>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

[2. Parks and Recreation Project and Initiatives Update. Jason Alfaro, Dir...]

ARE YOU DOING TODAY? >> GOOD.

I JUST WANT TO TALK WITH YOU LITTLE BIT ABOUT PARKS AND

RECREATION. >> HE'S JUST HAPPY HE'S GOING

TO BE GONE. >> HE HADN'T BEEN THIS HAPPY

BEFORE. >> AM ACTUALLY A LITTLE NERVOUS. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE SAUCE ONE OR IF IT WAS LUNCH TODAY.

I WILL GO THROUGH A COUPLE PARKS AND RECREATION UPDATES.

DEFTLY WANT TO GET SOME UPDATES FROM YOU IN REGARDS TO THE SIGNS THAT WE BEEN DOING ABOUT THE DOG PARK.

>> THE FIRST AND BIGGEST ONE I THINK THAT WE HAVE IS THE DUCK POND. I JUST WANT TO TAKE YOU THROUGH A REALLY QUICK SNIFF IT. THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ONES.

MAYBE WE DO HAVE SOME ENTERTAINMENT FOR YOU TONIGHT.

BACK ON TRACK. THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST PICTURES THAT WE HAVE OF THE DUCK POND.

IT IS STARTING TO HAVE SOME DIRT MOVING.

THE NEXT ONE HERE IS REALLY. IT SHOWS A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT WAS HEADING UNDERNEATH SOME OF THAT MOCK AND WATER AND EROSION. YOU CAN SEE LITTLE BIT ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE THAT THERE ARE ALREADY SOME PAVEMENT OR GROUNDWORK IF YOU WILL. IT'S STARTING TO MOVE FORWARD.

WE GET THE MIC OUT AND WE HAVE THE RETAINING WALL THAT'S GOING UP. THERE ARE HUGE PILES OF DEBRIS WHICH WILL BE HERE FOR THAT FISH HABITAT.

WE REUSE THAT IS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

WE HAVE A BOARDWALK THAT'S GETTING INSTALLED WHICH IS PART OF THE CONNECTIVITY. EVERYTHING STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE. WE HAVE ELECTRICAL THAT'S BEING COMPLETED WITH THOSE PEDESTALS AND WE HAVE A GAZEBO OUTLOOK.

WE HAVE A LAMP POST THAT IS BEEN INSTALLED SO FAR.

I THINK THEY ARE WAITING ON ONE OR TWO MORE TO BE ERECTED.

WE ARE PRETTY MUCH LOOKING TO GET EVERYTHING COMPLETED WE TALKED ABOUT. THE PAPER DUCK THE IRRIGATION WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY MAKE SURE THAT IT STAYS STABLE.

>> ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT WE ARE AND THIS IS A GOOD SHOT FROM LAST WEEK WE STOOD TO START TO FILL THE POND TWO WEEKS AGO. WE HAVE A PEER THAT IS GOING TO BE FLOATING HERE IN THE DUCK POND.

THAT WILL BE INSTALLED NEXT MONTH.

HOPEFULLY WHEN IT SAID AND DONE THAT'S WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE.

WE'LL HAVE THE FOUNTAINS UP AND RUNNING.

WE HAVE SOME PARKING LOT ENHANCEMENTS.

[00:50:08]

I HAVE SOME SLIDES ON AND A LOT OF IT.

WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF DIRECTION ON IT FROM CITY COUNCIL. ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO KNOW IS THAT IF YOU LOOK REALLY CLOSELY AND I'M SORRY IT'S NOT BLOWN UP MORE BUT IF YOU LOOK WHERE IT SAYS A GREAT DRIVE INTO THE ENTRYWAY OF THAT YOU SEE IT'S AN ARCH IF YOU WILL.

FULLY IF FUNDING ALLOWS WE CAN COMPLETE TWO ENTRY SIGNS THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE DUCK POND AND THESE ARE THE LOCATIONS THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. I JUST WANTED TO THROW THIS OUT THERE ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THOSE LOCATIONS? IF WE HAD TO GO DOWN TO ONE JUST FOR FUNDING IS THERE ONE IN PARTICULAR THAT YOU WOULD PREFER OVER THE OTHER?

>> I WOULD SAY THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IF IT WAS JUST ONE BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE USUALLY PASSING BY WITH THE

VISIBILITY. >> IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE TWO BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE IS THERE HOPEFULLY MOST PEOPLE WILL BE PARKING IN ENTERING FROM.

>> I AGREE THAT IF IT'S JUST ONE IT WOULD BE MY GREAT.

>> PERFECT. IF WE ONLY HAD ONE WHERE WOULD

YOU WANT THE SIGN TO GO? >> I HAVE A QUESTION.

DOES THE,. WHEN I GOT HERE A WHILE AGO THERE WERE TWO DOCS WITH A BUNCH OF BABIES AND THEY WERE RIGHT OUTSIDE. I WAS GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE BUT IT'S DANGEROUS TO BE RIGHT THERE.

THEY WERE CROSSING MAIN STREET AND THEY GOT UNDER ONE OF THE TRUCKS BECAUSE IT WAS HOT BUT IT WAS A WHOLE FAMILY.

>> WE GET THOSE IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA PRETTY OFTEN.

YOU WILL SEE THEM ALL. VER.

>> THEY ARE ADORABLE PC FAMILIES OVER THE DOWNTOWN QUITE OFTEN THEY COME FROM OVER IN THE RIVER.

>> THERE TRYING TO FIND THEIR WAY BACK HOME TO THE DUCK POND.

>> ARE WE GOING TO RESTOCK THE POND WITH FISH?

>> YES, SIR WE WILL. THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE HAVE IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR.

IT'S FOR FISH TO BE RESTOCKED. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE INLAND FISH DIVISION TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE PROPER FISH STOCKED.

>> IS THERE ANY TYPE OF SNAKE CONTROL THAT WE COULD TAKE OR

PROVIDE FOR THE LAKE? >> THAT I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY.

>> I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE ARE NOT LOSING ANY THAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY. IT WOULD BE THE SAME AS WHAT'S

CURRENTLY THERE. >> AND THAT'S PERFECT.

I FORESEE THIS WHEN IT OPENS UP.

THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN WATCHING THIS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

EVERYBODY WILL BE VERY EXCITED AT FIRST.

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE PARKING IS GOING TO BE BECAUSE IT WILL BE FULL AND WHERE IS THE ADDITIONAL PARKING? HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT LETTING THE PUBLIC KNOW WHERE TO PARK?.

WE CAN PROVIDE THE DETAILS TO YOU BUT I WAS GOING TO MAKE THE COMMENT THAT THE MAYOR MADE. YOU CAN APPRECIATED IN THIS IMAGE BUT THERE WAS A SIDEWALK ADDED TO CONNECT THE GOLF COURSE PARKING LOT TO THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THIS IMAGE

[00:55:12]

HERE. >> THAT USED TO BE A PAVILION THAT ARE FOR BARBECUES AND PARTIES.

AS THE BARBECUE PIT STILL GOING TO BE THERE?

>> YES SIR. WE'RE NOT CHANGING ANYTHING

WITH THAT SITE. >> WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH

THE PARKING? >> PARK IN THE GOLF COURSE.

>> WE STILL PLAN ON HAVING THAT FOR RENTALS OF THESE YOU HAD MENTIONED. WEDDINGS OR ANYTHING THAT THEY WANT A PICTURE TAKEN RIGHT THERE.

>> BEHIND ME OWNING THE SAME THING THAT WE ARE REFERENCING.

>> IS WITH THE DUCK HOUSES. THEY HAVE THAT IN THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT. THOSE WITH AN ADDITIONAL PICNIC TABLES. THEY WILL HAVE CUP COVERED PAVILIONS WITH PICNIC TABLES AFTER THAT.

WE CAN GAUGE THAT TO SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT.

>> YOUR ANSWER WAS IS NOT A POSSIBILITY OF PARKING AROUND

THE AWNING. >> THE CONCOURSES ON THE OTHER

SIDE OF THAT TREE. >> I'M NOT SURE HOW TIGHT IT WOULD BE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY WOULD LOOK LIKE.

>> ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE PARKING IS OVER HERE WITH THESE

BLUE BUILDINGS. >> YES ON THE LEFT.

>> A SIDEWALK IS TRANSITIONING INTO THE PARKING LOT JUST THE

OPPOSITE WAY. >> IF YOU'RE TRYING TO USE THIS PARKING LOT FOR OVERFLOW SOMEONE HAVING A PARTY OVER

THERE. >> YOU HAVE PARKING RIGHT

THERE. >> KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IMPROVEMENT ISN'T TAKING ANYTHING AWAY.

WE ARE DRASTICALLY IMPROVING AT CREATING A SAFER WORKING CONDITIONS. SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO WALK IN THE STREET TO GO OVER THERE. WITH THIS IMPROVEMENT THEY CAN TAKE A SIDEWALK. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT WHILE I AGREE WITH YOUR CONCERNS THOSE CONCERNS ARE

BECAUSE OF OUR PROJECT. >> HAVING THESE NEED TO BE

EXPLORED. >> AS IF WE HAVE A PROBLEM

[01:00:03]

FIRST. >> I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW IT SHOULD BE IN THE GOLF COURSE PARKING LOT.

SOME OF THOSE SHOTS COULD BE DEMOLISHED BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT USED. SOME OF THE PARKING LOT COULD BE BUILT IN. IT KIND OF NARROWS.

THERE'S POSSIBILITIES WITH THE MONEY TO REBUILD SOME CART

SHEDS IN A DIFFERENT MANNER. >> IF YOU HAVE MONEY FOR A THIRD TIME YOU PUT IT AT THE GOLF COURSE.

>> AND SO I JUST WANTED TO WRAP UP THE DUCK POND.

AGAIN WE'RE ESTIMATED COMPLETION IN OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR. WHERE 90% COMPLETE WITH THE PROJECT AND AS I MENTIONED EARLIER WE HAVE THREE ITEMS THAT ARE STILL REMAINING WITH THE CONTRACT AND THAT'S THE GAZEBO, THE PARKING LOT ENHANCEMENTS AS WELL AS THE

PEER. >> WHERE THE WATER BEING DRAINED FROM? IS IT FROM THE RIVER WATER SYSTEM?> IT'S FROM THE WELL.

THAT ONE POND IS GOING TO MAINTAIN THE WATER AND THE DUCK

POND. >> SELECT NEXT ONE IS INSIDE THE PARK. THIS ONE IS MOVING FORWARD.

THEY HAVE RTED LAYING OUT THE CONCRETE FOR THE TRAILS.

THEY POUR THE CONCRETE ALREADY. THEY HAVE STARTED IF YOU HAVE BEEN BY YOU STARTED TO SEE THE FENCE BEING ERECTED AROUND THE DOG PARK. THERE'S MORE DECORATIVE FENCING THAT WE USED ON THE PREVIOUS PICTURE WITH THAT BLACK CHAIN-LINK FENCE. AGAIN THIS ON MY DEFENSE WILL BE ALONG THE FRONT SIDE AND A PORTION OF THE FRONT ENTRYWAY UP TO THE METAL. THERE'S A SECTION ON THE VERY BACK THAT WILL BE REGULAR CHAIN-LINK.

THAT WAS PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.

WERE THERE ANY QUESTIONS WITH THE DOG PARK?

>> LOOKS GOOD, I SAW YESTERDAY.

>> THE DOG PARK IS MORE ON TRACK.

JUST NEXT MONTH SOMETIME WE WILL BE WRAPPED UP WITH THE FENCE AND THE HYDRA MULCH. WE ARE 80% THROUGH WITH THIS PROJECT. WE HAVE FIVE ITEMS THAT WE NEED TO GET COMPLETED. THE PARKING LAW ENHANCEMENTS WILL HAVE SOME SEAL COATINGS. A LITTLE BIT OF FENCING THAT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED. THE CANOPY WILL BE INSTALLED.

ONE OF THE LAST ONES THAT I WANTED TO MENTION IS THE SOCCER FIELD. THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO THIS.

WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF FIELDS WITH A CHOICE.

WE TO SOCCER FOR THE NEED TO COMPLETE SO I WILL SHOW YOU ON THIS NEXT SLIDE. THAT WILL BE COMPLETED BY AUGUST. WE HAD A CONVERSATION AND WE TOLD HIM WE NEEDED TO HAVE THIS DONE.

THEY WERE ON BACKORDER. THE OTHER PART OF THIS IS THE PHASE 2. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAD MENTIONED.

THE LAST FIELD THAT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETE IS BASICALLY WHERE THE

[01:05:04]

THE SOCCER >> ONE IN THE FIELD BEE PLAYABLE IN? LAYING IT ON AN AUGUST MEETING WILL BE READY TO SEPTEMBER WILL

IT? >> NO SIR THAT IS CORRECT.

WE WOULD PROBABLY BE LOOKING AT ING AT SPRING THE EARLIEST BUT

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL YOUR UME. >> THIS EXPLAINSWHY PARKING LOT CAN'T BE PUT THEIR.> DNS ABOUT EXTENDING THE PARKING LOT MORE TOWARDS THE TREE LINE. MENTIONED TO YOU THAT WE HAD ANOTHER SOCCER FIELD AND THIS IS THE ONE.

>> THIS IS THE PUBLIC WORKS AND THEY WERE ABLE TO HELP US LOCK YOURSELF. THIS IS A SNAPSHOT OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKOKING AT THE UPCOMING BUDGET FOR THIS PROPOSED BUDGET. CREATING A FOOD TRUCK PARKING LOT AREA. WE KNEW THE PARKING WAS A CONCERNS WE WANTED TO ADDRESS THAT.

ULTIMATELY WE ARE SPLITTING THE CONCRETE SLAB IN HALF.

>> HOW MANY FOOD TRUCKS WOULD IT ACCOMMODATE?

>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I MISQUOTED AND I DON'T WANT TO FACILITATE. EXAMPLES OF THE LIMESTONE BLOCKS THAT WE LOOK AT PURCHASING TO BE PLACED ON RAW THE RIVER STREET WILL BE SOMETHING IN THIS PICTURE.

THESE ARE 2 X 2 BY FIVES. WE HAVE THESE LIMESTONE BLOCKS AND LEMON TREE. WHAT KIND OF TREES? I'M NOT SURE YET IT WOULD BE SETUP OF OAKTREE COURT FOUND THAT WOULD GET LARGE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO NOT HAVE A 4 X 4, AND DRIVE RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF IT.

>> IF THERE IS A MAJOR EVENT IN THE PARK AND THERE IS AN INCIDENT AND TRAFFIC IS BACKED UP WILL THESE LIMESTONE TENDER THE ABILITY FOR THE TRAFFIC TO MOVE OVER TO THE RIGHT?

>> SOME OF THE MISCELLANEOUS PROJECTS, THE BIGGEST ONE I MENTIONED WERE THE SIGNS. WE RECEIVED THREE RENDERINGS FROM HALF ASSOCIATES REGARDING SIGNAGE FOR THE ENTRYWAY INTO THE DUCK POND AND DOG PARK BEING THE FIRST ONE.

WE RECEIVED THESE RENDERINGS AND WERE ABLE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION DURING OUR LAST

[01:10:01]

NUMBER TWO THEY LIKE TO PUT THE LIMESTONE THROUGH THEM OFF.

A NUMBER THREE WE WOULD JUST SAY IT WAS NUMBER THREE.

WITHOUT DIRECTION WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH HALF ASSOCIATES AND TELL THEM TO BE MORE DETAILED.

IT'S THE NEXT CONCERT CONSIDERATION WITH CITY COUNCIL. PART OF WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO IS LOOK AT THE TRAINS A WHILE.

>> IS A FURTHER CONVERSATION ABOUT CARRYING THESE THROUGHOUT OTHER PLACES IN THE PARK PARTICULARLY ENTRANCES QUESTION

THE. >> YES ABSOLUTELY.

THIS WOULD BE THE FOOTPRINT FOR THAT.

THIS WOULD ESTABLISH THAT FOOTPRINT.

PART OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS COMING UP OF A FINAL DESIGN.

>> CAN WRAP THIS UP IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES QUESTION MY.

>> YESTERDAY. THERE'S A BIG PICTURE OF IT.

ANOTHER THING I WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF IS THE MARKET FEASIBILITY REPORT. THAT'S BEIN.

THERE WILL BE CONVERSATIONAL ACCOUNTS ON THE NEXT DAY OR SO REGARDING NG THE REPORT. THIS IS REQUESTED FROM THE OFFICE WITH AND MAKE-A-WISH H FOUNDATION.

SOME MEDICATION WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON JUST TO KEEP YOU ABREAST OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING, WORKING WITH THE CITY REVITALIZATION COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENTS WITH ACCOUNTING.

ONE OF THE LAST THINGS THAT I WANTED TO BRING UP IS TREES IN THE PARK COMMISSION. ONE THING WE USED TO HAVE HIS TREE CITY USA. IT PLAYS A ROLE IF THE CITY COUNCIL IS WILLING TO GO THAT ROUTE.

BASICALLY WHAT TREE CITY USA DOES IS ALLOWS US TO SET A HIGH STANDARD. WE ARE VERY HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH OUR TREES AND WE LIKE URBAN CANOPY AND THE FACT THAT IT'S COOLER IN OUR CITIES. WE WOULD BE FOCUSING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY NOT ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.

THAT WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL PROCESS FOR US TO BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH AND REMOVE ANY TREES, TRIM ANY TREES OR ANYTHING IN THAT REGARD. PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE THE SAME RATE.HE ORDINANCE DOES NOT ANYTHING THE PRINTER PROPERTIES CANNOT DO ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY.

THEY WOULD AFFECT PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS.

>> WHY CAN THE CITY DO SOMETHING TO PRIVATE PROPERTY BUT PRIVATE PROPERTY PERSONS CAN DO IT TO A CITY THAT MAYBE HANGING OVER THERE IS. MY ANSWER TO THAT WOULD BE FOR

[01:15:06]

THE SAFETY CONCERN. >> IF WE HAVE A TREE AND A RIGHT-OF-WAY IN THE TREE GOES INTO PRIVATE PROPERTIES IS A PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER HAVE THE RIGHT TO TRY OUR TREE QUESTION

MY. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> I GUESS THAT REACTION IS THAT HOPEFULLY ESPECIALLY WITH OUR TREE DEPARTMENT AND ARE PARKS PEOPLE WE WOULD HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO PROPERLY BURN THAT TREE WHETHER IT'S ON PRIVATE PROPERTY OR ON PUBLIC PROPERTY.

>> WE GET INTO THE DETAILS OF THAT ONCE WE PUT ORDINANCE

LANGUAGE IS TOGETHER. >> TO BE USED TO HAVE AN

ORDINANCE? >> WE DID YES MA'AM.

I BELIEVE THE ORDINANCE WAS FIRST ADOPTED IN 1999.

IT WAS RESCINDED IN 2016. I BELIEVE THE REASON FOR THAT WAS A NAME THAT I COULD FIND ON THE CITY WAS NO LONGER PARTICIPATING IN TREE CITY USA. THAT WAS THE REASON BEHIND REMOVING THE ORDINANCE FROM THE CODE.

>> RIVER THE TREES THEY PUT ON IN SANTA ROSA THAT MIGHT BE

WHAT IT DID. >> A LOT OF PEOPLE GOT UPSET

ABOUT THAT. >> THAT WAS AFTER THE

ORDINANCE WAS REMOVED. >> COULD WE START WITH WHAT THAT WAS AND HOW THAT BROUGHT TO US?

>> IN 2017 WE SET THAT. >> IT WAS BEFORE THE HURRICANE. I WAS THINKING MAYBE THE

HURRICANE HAD AFFECTED THAT. >> THAT'S REALLY EVERYTHING I HAVE. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS

ON TREES OR PARKS OR ANYTHING? >> NO BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CITY OF IT TORI A.

WE HOPE YOU COME BACK AND VISIT US.

WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. [APPLAUSE]

>> THAT ENDS THE CITY MANAGER REPORTS.

WE DON'T HAVE A WORK SESSION. UNLESS YOU WANT TO RELOOK AT

[H. Executive Sessions:]

THE JUNE 30 ONE. >> WE ARE GOOD THANK YOU.

>> WE DO HAVE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION THIS EVENING SO WE WILL RECESSED INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

WE'RE GOING TO GET FIVE MINUTES FOR THE ROOM TO CLEAR OUT.

>> THE CITY COUNCIL WILL RECESSED FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION ON THE 18TH DAY OF JULY AT 6:18 PM.

THE SUBJECT MATTER IS TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE
