THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU.

HAVE ANY OTHER PUBLIC AND EMPLOYEE RECOGNITIONS THIS

EVENING. >> NO, SIR.

>> OKAY ITEMS FROM COUNCIL? ANYTHING THIS EVENING?

[4. Citizen Communication:]

WE WILL JUMP INTO CITIZEN COMMUNICATION.

I HAVE A FEW CARDS HERE. AND JUST A REMINDER IF YOU WOULD PLEASE KEEP YOUR REMARKS TO THREE MINUTES IN THE INTEREST OF EVERYONE'S TIME. I'LL START THEN WITH MR. ANDREW

ALVAREZ. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND CONGRESS-- I'M SORRY, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME'S ANDREW ALVAREZ. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME HERE IN FRONT OF YA'LL.

I KNOW THERE WILL BE SOME BUDGETARY ITEMS THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED AND TALKED ABOUT LATER TODAY AND I'M NOT TALKING FOR OR AGAINST THEM. BUT MORESO ENCOURAGEMENT.

SPECIFICALLY ON DRAINAGE AND STREET TO BE EQUITABLY UTILIZED ON BOTH SIDES OF HOUSTON HIGHWAY.

AND IN AREAS LIKE SILVER CITY, QUEEN CITY AND SUCH LIKE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE GETS THE BENEFITS OF THE DRAINAGE OF THE STREET MAINTENANCE IN GENERAL.

AND I ALSO NOTICE THAT THERE WAS AN ALLOCATION FOR SOME POLICE VEHICLES. AND PRYER TO LOSING MY SIGHT, I WAS A NATIONAL AUTO MOTIVE TRAINER.

I TRAIN CAR DEALERSHIPS. ONE THING I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE COUNCIL TO DO, AND I'M NOT SURE HOW FAR IN THE BIDDING PROCESS.

IF THE BIDDING PROCESS HAS EVEN BEGUN YET, BUT I REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO BID LOCALLY AS WELL.

[00:10:03]

AND I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE THAT BUSINESS STAY IN VICTORIA. AND JUST LOOKING AT WHAT YA'LL HAVE ALLOCATED, IT'S A GREAT PRICE.

GREAT FAIR AMOUNT FOR THE VEHICLES THAT ARE MUCH NEEDED FOR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. ESPECIALLY IF YA'LL ARE GETTING THE THATHOES, IT'S A GREAT START.

I JUST REALLY ENCOURAGE YA'LL TO BASICALLY SHOP LOCAL.

THAT'S IT. APPRECIATE IT.

>> THANK YOU MR. ALVAREZ. APPRECIATE IT.

ALL RIGHT, THE NEXT CARD I HAVE IS MICHAEL VONDORA.

GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME BACK. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR, COUNCIL.

I LIVE AT 2107 NORTH-- JORDAN. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK JESUS GARZA FOR PUTTING $250,000 OF LIFE ENRICHMENT CENTER AT THE SALVATION ARMY. I TOOK TWO BUDGET CLASSES OVER THERE THAT WERE TWO TEN-WEEK CLASSES THAT TEACH YOU HOW TO MANAGE YOUR MONEY AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

AND THEY HAVE CONFERENCES AND STUFF LIKE THAT AND I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING HE'S DONE.

AND I APPRECIATE CODE ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND I CAN'T AFFORD $400 AN HOUR FOR A LAWYER AND THEY ARE WILLING TO WORK FOR ME FOR FREE.

THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THEM. BUT THEY'VE BEEN DOING LOTS OF WORK WITH SUMMER STONE APARTMENTS.

LIVE THE APARTMENT COMPLEX HAS CRASHED OUT.

THEY HAVE TOILETS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

MATTRESSES. REFRIGERATORS, STOVES.

WATER HEATERS AND IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO HAVE A REFRIGERATOR OUT WITHOUT THE DOOR OFF BECAUSE A KID COULD BE PLAYING HIDE AND GO SEEK AND CLOSE THE DOOR AND NOT GET OUT.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MANAGEMENT CLEAN UP THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING A VERY POOR JOB. AND WITHOUT CODE ENFORCEMENT GETTING INVOLVED WITH THEM, THEY JUST TURN A BLIND EYE.

AND THEY ALSO HAVE A POLICY WHERE YOU PAY 8 BUCKS A MONTH TO SPRAY FOR BUGS. AND IF YOU DON'T PAY THE 8 BUCKS YOU GET EVICTED. AND IN RETURN THEY NEVER SPRAY.

THEY AIN'T SPRAYED THIS WHOLE YEAR WHERE I LIVE.

AND THAT'S VERY DISHONEST FROM THE MANAGEMENT.

THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES TAKING 8 BUCKS FROM ALL THE TENANTS AND REFUSING TO SP SPRAY. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM DO A BETTER JOB OF MANAGING THE APARTMENT COMPLEX.

AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SCARED TO SPEAK BECAUSE THEY COULD GET EVICTED AND THEY WANT YOU TO SAY POSITIVE NOT NEGATIVE THINGS. BUT I HOPE THE MANAGEMENT WILL CHOOSE TO CLEAN UP THAT APARTMENT COMPLEX.

BECAUSE IT'S A MESS RIGHT NOW. MATTRESSES ALL OVER THE PLACE.

IT'S ALSO A FIRE HAZARD BEING IN THE SUMMERTIME AND NO ONE SEEMS TO SHOW ANY INTEREST IN CLEANING IT UP.

THANKS AND HAVE A GOOD AFTERNOON.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. THE NEXT CARD I HAVE IS FROM JAKE TRUSS. WELCOME.

>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL.

I JUST WANT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.

MY NAME IS JAKE TRUSS AND I'VE RECENTLY APPLIED FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND I JUST WANTED TO COME INTRODUCE YA'LL FORMALLY AND LET YOU KNOW I'D REALLY LIKE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY. AND I APPRECIATE THE CONSIDERATION FOR THE POSITION AND JUST REALLY WANT TO BE PLUGGED IN. THANK YOU GUYS.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THE NEXT CARD I HAVE IS FROM MARIA GARZA. WELCOME MS. GARZA.

>> THANK YOU. HI I'M MARIA.

I BELIEVE STRONG COMMUNITIES ARE BUILT THROUGH THOUGHTFUL PLANNING AND RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP AND MEANINGFUL COLLABORATION. SO I THINK EACH-- THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO THIS CITY.

MY JOURNEY FROM EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS TO BECOMING A BUSINESS OWNER BUT KEEPER AND TAX PROFESSIONAL HAS GIVEN ME FIRSTHAND UNDERSTANDING OF HOW HOUSING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND ACCESS AND RESOURCES CAN SHAPE THE TRAJECTORY OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES.

AS A BUSINESS OWNER, I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPONSIBLE GROWTH. ACCOUNTABILITY, LONG-TERM VISION AND CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS CAN THRIVE TOGETHER.

IN ADDITION, I'M CURRENTLY SERVING AS A CONSULTANT TO VICTORIA COLLEGE TO BRIDGE OUR EFFORTS IN GIVING OUR CITIZENS MORE EDUCATION PERSPECTIVES, BREAKING POVERTY SETBACKS.

[00:15:04]

I HAVE PLACED AN APPLICATION TO SERVE ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION COMMITTEE. I THINK I CAN BRING A GREAT OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE OF THE UNDERSERVED CITIZENS OF THIS COMMUNITY. SOMEONE WHO HAS LIVED THROUGH HOMELESSNESS COMING OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE THROUGH EDUCATION AND PERSEVERANCE. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND THEN THE FINAL CARD I HAVE

THIS EVENING IS JAKE FLORES. >> GOOD EVENING AND BEHALF OR THE COMMUNITY YOU SERVE THANK YOU TO YOUR SERVICE.

I WANT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. I LIKE THE COLLEAGUE WHO SPOKE BEFORE ME HAVE SUBMITTED THE APPLICATION TO BE PART OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS WELL. AND I WANTED TO OF COURSE INTRODUCE MYSELF AND SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PERSPECTIVE THAT I FEEL LIKE I COULD BRING TO THAT TEAM AND WHY I FEEL LIKE I COULD HELP BETTER OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL.

PART OF MY ROLE DURING THE DAY I SERVE AS CREATIVE MARKETING COARD NATURE FOR THE FOOD-- KRES CHNT SERVES THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES WITHIN AN 11 COUNTY REGION DEFINITELY HERE IN THE VICTORIA REGION AS WELL. AND I FEEL LIKE EVEN JUST THAT PERSPECTIVE ALONE ALLOWS FOR ME TO SEE AREAS OF VICTORIA THAT MAYBE GET SWEPT UNDER THE RUG FROM TIME TO TIME.

THERE'S SUCH A GREAT NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY AND FOR ME TO HAVE EYES OUT THERE WHAT MORE OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS.

WHEN I'M NOT DOING THAT WE ARE OVERSEEING THE CHURCHES OF YOUNG PEOPLE AND ALL THESE PERSPECTIVES PUT TOGETHER I FEEL LIKE IT GAVE ME A GENUINE HEART FOR SERVICE.

AND IN REALITY PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE A HEART FOR SERVICE AS WELL. YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T NECESSARILY SEE THINGS THE WAY DOW FROM TIME TO TIME. AND I BELIEVE THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY WHEN KOIMENTS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. IF APPOINTED I WOULD MAKE EIGHT PRIORITY TO DO THAT DUE DILIGENCE.

I WOULD READ EVERY REPORT AND MATERIAL AND ASK ALL THE NECESSARY QUESTIONS AND DO EVERYTHING THAT I COULD TO ENSURE THAT WE WERE MAKING THE BEST DECISIONS NOT JUST FOR OUR COMMUNITY BUT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WE SERVE.

LISTEN TO RESIDENTS, PROPERTY OWNERS AND BUSINESSES.

AND I BELIEVE THIS PERSPECTIVE THAT I HAVE IT WOULD HELP US BE MORE COMMUNITY-FOCUSED AND FORWARD THINKING.

BECAUSE AFTER ALL, IF WE'RE ONLY GOING IN A-- IF WE'RE NOT GOING IN AN UPWARD PATTERN, WE ARE GOING BACKWARDS.

AND I DON'T BELIEVE THIS COMMUNITY HAS BEEN CALLED TO GO BACKWARDS BUT WE ARE ONLY GOING TO MOVE FORWARD.

SO ULTIMATELY MY INTEREST IN SERVING THE PLANNING COMMISSION COMES FROM A VERY SIMPLE PLACE. I CARE ABOUT VICTORIA.

I WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE AND I HAVE A HEART FOR SERVICE.

I'M NOT SEEKING POSITIONS OR TITLES I'M SEEKING JUST TO SERVE AND THIS WAS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WOULD OPEN UP I WOULD GLADLY TAKE IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> THANK YOU. MUCH APPRECIATED.

ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT THEN I WILL CLOSE

[1. An Ordinance Authorizing the Issuance of Venue Project Revenue Bonds (...]

WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PUBLIC HEARINGS THIS EVENING.

SO WE WILL BEGIN WITH ITEM C1. >> AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING ISSUANCE OF VENUE PROJECT REVENUE BONDS COMBINED VENUE TAX SERIES 2026 IN THE APPROXIMATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $7,650,000 PROVIDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUCH BONDS RESOLVING OTHER MAUFRTS INCIDENT RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE PAYMENT SECURITY SALE AND DELIVERY OF SUP BONDS.

ENACTING OTHER PROVISIONS INCIDENT AND RELATED THERETO AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

THIS ITEM IS EMERGENCY READING. >> GOOD EVENING MR. JANECEK.

>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

TONIGHT'SITE SYSTEM TO APPROVE THE SALE OF CVX BONDS THAT TOOK PLACE THIS MORNING IN THE AMOUNT OF $7.36 MILLION WE HAD MEETINGS WITH SNP AND RECEIVED A RATING OF A MINUS WHICH BASED ON THIS TYPE OF ISSUANCE IS PROBABLY ABOUT THE BEST WE COULD HAVE ASKED MORE ON THAT. AGAIN WE ISSUED THOSE TODAY AND ANTICIPATE RECEIVING THOSE FUNDS AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.

TO GO TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY CENTRE PROJECT.

THE DEBT SERVICE ON THESE BONDS WILL COME FROM THE 2% VENUE TAX AND 5% SHORT-TERM RENTAL TAX. WHICH WAS APPROVED VIA ELECTION LAST YEAR IN MAY. WITH US TONIGHT I HAVE DUSTY TRAILER. HE'S OUR FINANCIAL ADVISER FROM RBC CAPITAL MARKETS AS WELL AS JAY JUAREZ WHO IS OUR BOND COUNCIL. BUT DUSTY WILL GIVE A PRESENTATION GOING OVER THE DETAILS OF THIS MORNING'S

TRANSACTION. >> WELCOME MR. TRAILER.

GOOD SEE YOU AGAIN. >> GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE.

GREAT TO SEE EVERYBODY. >> AS WESLEY INDICATED WE WERE IN THE MARKET TO SELL THE VENUE TAX BONDS.

YOUR STAFF PUT IN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK TO GET US TO THIS POINT. NUMBER ONE YOUR WHOLE TEAM PUT IN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK TO GET TO THE ELECTION THAT YOU HAD LAST FALL. BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS PROJECT AND TO HAVE THE SUCCESSFULLY PAST E ELECTION THAT GIVES YOU THE AUTHORITY TO LEVY THIS TAX ON HOTEL VENUE AND MOTOR VEHICLE TAX THAT THEN ALLOWS YOU TO LEVERAGE THAT TO MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER.

[00:20:02]

AND IT'S ULTIMATELY BROUGHT US TO THIS POINT THIS AFTERNOON.

AFTER A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK OVER THE SUMMER TO BRING THESE BONDS TO MARKET. WE WERE IN THE MARKET THIS AFTERNOON OR THIS MORNING. AND AS WESLEY INDICATED ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID WAS GO TO A RATING AGENCY AND GET THEM ASIGNED TO THESE BONDS. THIS IS ENTIRELY A NEW CREDIT FOR THE CITY OF VICTORIA. YOU GUYS HAVE ALWAYS ISSUEDED A VA LO REM TAX SECURED BONDS OR WATER AND SEWER TAX SECURED BONDS. THOSE CARRY A MUCH HIGHER RATING BECAUSE OF THE CITY'S ABILITY TO DIRECTLY CONTROL THAT REVENUE STREAM. IN THIS INSTANCE YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DIRECTLY CONTROL THIS REVENUE STREAM BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF IT BEING HOTEL OCCUPANCY AND MOTOR VEHICLE. SO THE FACT THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET THESE BONDS RACED AS HIGHLY AS THEY ARE.

THE A MINUS RATING WAS REALLY IMPORTANT.

AT ONE POINT IT LOOKED LIKE WE COULD BE IN THE B CAP GOIR BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET THIS TO THE A MINUS WHICH ALSO THEN ALLOWEDTOUS GET BOND INSURANCE ON THIS.

THE BOND INSURANCE ALLOWS THESE TO TRADE AS THOUGH THEY ARE AA.

SO BOTH ARE VERY IMPORTANT STEPS AND ALSO ALLOWEDTOUS GET WHAT'S CALLED A DEBT SERVICE RESERVE FUND SURETY POLICY.

>> I'M A LITTLE EXCITEED. SORRY.

ANY TIME YOU SELL A BOND LIKE THIS IN THE BOND MARKET, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A RESERVE FUND. AND THE TYPICAL RESERVE FUND IS MONEY THAT IS SET ASIDE IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE YEAR'S AVERAGE ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE. SO IN THE CASE OF THESE BONDS, THAT WOULD BE ABOUT $525,000. WE WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO GET A SURETY POLICY BECAUSE WE HAD THE INSURANCE.

WE WERE ABLE TO GET A SURETY POLICY TO COVER HALF OF THAT RESERVE FUND. SO THAT SURETY POLICY COVERS ABOUT $260,000. SO YOU GUYS ARE ONLY HAVING TO SET ASIDE ABOUT ANOTHER $260,000 IN CASH.

SO ALL OF THOSE STEPS LED TO SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SUCCESS TO BRING US INTO THE MARKET TO TODAY. SO FROM TODAY'S SALE WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DEPOSIT $7,552,859 INTO THE PROJECT FUND FOR THE VENUE PROJECT. THAT'S NEARLY $600,000 MORE THAN WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT INTO THE PROJECT FUND IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE INSURANCE AND IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT SURETY POLICY. SO AGAIN KUDOS TO THE CITY AND YOUR TEAM. THE ALL-IN INTEREST RATE IS A 5.48% AGAIN BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT CREDIT THAN YOUR TYPICALED A VALOREM TAX SECURED BONDS.

WE WILL PLAN TO HAVE THE MONEY DELIVERED TO THE CITY ON SEPTEMBER 24TH. AND YOUR FIRST INTEREST PAYMENT WILL BE FEBRUARY 15TH 2027. AND THE TEAM INVOLVED IS OURSELVES RBC, MR. JUAREZ FIRM AND MCCALL PARK AND HORTON YOUR UNDERWRITERS AT FROST BANK. THEIR COUNCIL WARD HARRINGTON AND THE BOND INSURANCE COMPANY AT ASURED GUARANTEE.

THEN ON THE NEXT SLIDE. WE JUST SHOW THE SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS. PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF BOND $7,000,635 A PREMIUM PAID BY INVESTORS THAT DEBT SERVICE RESERVE FUND CONTRIBUTION OF 261 AS OPPOSED TO 520.

AND THEN THE PROJECT FUND DEPOSIT THE $7,000,552 THEN ON THE NEXT PAGE WE SHOW THE DEBT SS STREAM OF ABOUT-- YOU SEE THE 30-YEAR BONDS. AND THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST WORKS OUT TO ABOUT 520 TO $525,000 PER YEAR.

AND IT LEAVES YOU GUYS, ONE OF THE THINGS RIGHT NOW IS COVERAGE, RIGHT? YOU NOTICE OVER HERE THE ANTICIPATED COVERAGE RATIO OF ABOUT 1.4 TIMES.

WHAT THAT MEANS IS RIGHT NOW BASED ON THE ANTICIPATED REVENUE FROM THE MOTEL VENUE COLLECTION AND THE MOTOR VEHICLE COLLECTION, WE'RE ANTICIPATING YOU GUYS COLLECTING ABOUT $740,000 PER YEAR.

$745,000 PER YEAR. THAT GIVES YOU COVERAGE OVER AND ABOVE THE DEBT SERVICE OF ABOUT 1.4 TIMES.

OR ABOUT 210 OR $220,000. THAT ADDITIONAL MONEY, NUMBER ONE CAN GIVE YOU SOME CUSHION IN YEARS WHEN MAYBE THE VENUE TAX IS A LITTLE LIGHT. CUSHION TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE ABLE TO PAY THE DEBT SERVICE ON THESE BONDS.

ALSO GIVES CUSHION FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS OVER THE LIFE OF THE PROJECT SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE THAT COVERAGE

[00:25:01]

CITY. >> ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS.

>> THIS POINT. ONCE COUNCIL APPROVES IT.

MR. JUAREZ AND HIS TEAM WILL BE SHEPARDING THE TRANSACTION THROUGH THE TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE FOR THEIR

REVIEW AND APPROVAL. >> THAT'S ALL I WAS GOING TO

SAY OSO I HAVE NOTHING ELSE. >> HE STOLE YOUR THUNDER THERE.

>> PLEASURE TO BE HERE. AND CONGRATULATIONS ON A

SUCCESSFUL SALE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

APPRECIATE YOUR WORK. >> ALL RIGHT ANY QUESTIONS.

>> VERY EXCITING. >> THEN WITH THAT I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM C1 IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK TO COUNCIL ON THIS MANNER PLEASE COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME. SEEING NO ONE I WILL CLOSE THAT AND ENTERTAIN ANY MOTIONS TO THIS ITEM.

>> MAKE A NOTION APPROVE ITEM C1.

[4. An ordinance amending Chapter 17 of the City of Victoria Code of Ordi...]

ALL RIGHT LET'S JUMP THEN TO OUR FOURTH PUBLIC HEARING OF THE NIGHT. ITEM C4.

>> ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 17 OF THE CITY OF VICK DWROOR CODE OF ORDER NANCES REGARDING RECK YEE ROOEUATIONAL VEHICLE PARK IN RIVERSIDE PARK AND THISSITE SONL FIRST READING.

>> MS. WUBE WELCOME. >> HI I'M PRESENTING A PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REGARDING CHECK IN AND CHECK OUT TIMES AT THE RV PARK. HERE'S A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE CITY OF VIKTORER YA' RV PARK.

LOCATED AT 2005 NORTH VINE STREET HERE IN VICTORIA.

WE PROVIDE AFFORDABLE SHORT TERM RV ACCOMMODATION.

THERE ARE 18 SPOT WES DO PROVIDE FULL EWE NILT CONNECTIONS INCLUDING ELECTRICITY, WATER, SEWER AND OUR CURRENT FEES ARE NIGHTLY RATE OF $15 AS WELL AS DUMP $3 PER USE. UNDER CURRENT ORDINANCE CHECK IN IS 3 AND CHECK OUT IS 2. WE ARE PROPOSING TO MAINTAIN THE EXISTING 3 P.M. CHECK-IN TIME AND CHANGE THE CHECK-OUT TIME FROM 2 P.M. TO 11 A.M. THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THIS CHANGE IS TO PROVIDE A CLEAR REASONABLE TURNOVER PERIOD BETWEEN GUESTS. CHANGING THE CHECKOUT TIME FROM 11 A.M. WOULD GIVE THE PARKS THAT APPROXIMATELY FOUR HOURS.

BETWEEN CHECK OUT AND THE 3 P.M. CHECK-IN TIME AND THIS IS FORTUNATE US BECAUSE IT ALLOWS THE STAFF TO ADDRESS THE SITES.

AS WELL AS IDENTIFY ANY PROBLEMS AND PREFAIR SITES FOR THE NEXT GUESTS. IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO ADDRESS ISSUES SUCH AS AUTHORIZED CONTINUED OCCUPY ANDS.

AND SO WE ARE HERE TONIGHT TO MOVE FORWARD ON THE CONTRACT WITH LAUGER TO GET STARTED ON THE REMODELLING AND THE RENOVATION OF THE VICTORIA COMMUNITY CENTER.

SO I'LL SHOW YOU SOME NEW DRAWINGS THAT MAYBE OR LAYOUTS YOU MAY NOT HAVE SEEN BEFORE. BUT WE WILL HAVE THESE TOMORROW AS WELL WITH THE GROUNDBREAKING.

WE'RE LOOKING AT A NEW ARENA. AND A NEW STALL BARN-- AND THOSE ARE BOTH PART OF PHASE ONE.

WHICH I'M I'LL TALK ABOUT SOME TONIGHT.

YOU KNOW WE'RE HERE TONIGHT PHASE ONE LITTLE OVER $17 MILLION WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO APPROVE TONIGHT.

AND IN OUR TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET'S $39 MILLION.

LEAVES PLUS OR MINUS $21 MILLION PLUS LEFT FOR PHASE TWO. GROUNDBREAKS WILL BE HELD TOMORROW MORNING. CITY MANAGER REFERRED TO THAT AWHILE AGO. PHASE ONE WILL TAKE IN EXISTING BUILDINGS, PARKING LOTS, I'M SOREY PHASE TWO WILL BE THE BUILDINGS-- THE PARKING LOT IS PART OF PHASE ONE AS WELL.

EXISTING ARENA WILL BE CONVERTED INTO THE NEW EXPO HALL. SO THE CURRENT ARENA THAT'S GOT THE DIRT FLOOR WILL BE OUR NEW EXPO HALL THAT'S IN THE BACK EVERYBODY'S FAMILIAR WITH. AND PHASE ONE TARGET FOR COMPLETION IS IN THE SUMMER OF 2027.

THE STALL BARN-- FOR THE STALL BARN AND FOR THE NEW ARENA WOULD BE FALL OF 2027. SO HERE'S A PICTURE OF THE FRONT OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER. IT WILL HAVE A NEW FRONT ENTRANCE WITH A LOT OF EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS.

ALL NEW LANDSCAPING IN FRONT. WHICH IS GOING TO BE REALLY COOL. YOU CAN SEE IT'S KIND OF CHANGED QUITE A BIT FROM THE WAY IT LOOKS RIGHT NOW.

AND THIS IS PART OF PHASE TWO WHICH IS ACTUALLY WILL ATTACK THE ACTUAL CURRENT STANDING COMMUNITY CENTER.

SO THE DOME, THE ANNEX AND THE BACK ARENA.

THIS IS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE NEW ARENA.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE ADA ACCESSIBLE.

IT'S GOT-- WE'VE ADDED KIND OF LAST MINUTE.

BUT WE'RE GETTING IN THERE JUDGE'S BOOTH FOR RADIOS-- RODEOS AND OTHER TYPE EVENTS LIKE THAT WHERE YOU NEED SOMEONE UP HIGH TO BE ABLE TO JUDGE EVENTS.

DEDICATED AREA FORKER FOOD TRUCKS.

AND NEW LANDSCAPING AS WELL. THIS IS PART OF PHASE ONE TARGETED FOR THE SUMMER OF '27 FOR THE SALT BARN AND FALL OF '27 FOR THE NEW ARENA AGAIN. SO I'LL LET WESLEY COVER THIS AND THEN I'LL KIND OF COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT A TIMELINE.

>> ALL RIGHT SO THESE ARE-- THIS IS THE UPDATED FUNDING FOR PHASE ONE AFTER TODAY'S SALE OF NEW TAX BONDS.

YOU SEE $7.55 MILLION THAT WAS PRESENTED EARLIER.

ONE OF THE NEW THINGS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO WITH THE SECOND LINE OF CASH COLLECTED AND THE MOTOR VEHICLE TAX SINCE WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE SURETY AMOUNT THAT GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT SOME CASH TO OFFSET THE AMOUNT REQUESTING.

YOU CAN SEE THERE THE FUNDING SOURCES TOTALLING UP TO OVERALL

OF $17.2 MILLION. >> THANK YOU WESLEY.

>> AND SO-- GO ONTO THE LAST SLIDE HERE.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT-- PHASE ONE CONSTRUCTION STARTING THIS MONTH. WE'RE HOPING TO FINISH WITH FALL OF '27 WITH PHASE ONE. PHASE TWO STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND FINAL CAMS WILL BE KNOWN AS LATER DATE AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE STILL WORKING ON BUDGET NUMBERS.

THE COMMUNITY CENTER WILL BE CLOSED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS DURING PHASE TWO. THE COMMUNITY CENTER, THE ANNEX AND THE CURRENT ARENA WILL BE CLOSED ALL FOR REMODELLING.

AND IT JUST HAS TO BE DONE THAT WAY ALL AT ONE TIME.

SO I DO WANT TO INTRODUCE A FEW PEOPLE.

I APPRECIATE ROGER AND I JESUS WE ALL APPRECIATE HOW MUCH WORK THESE FOLKS HAVE DONE IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS TO GET THIS PHASE ONE IN FRONT OF US AND WORKING ON BUDGET NUMBERS TO TRY TO GET US TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH AND REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE HOMETOWN GROUP BECAUSE I THINK THEY ARE REALLY TRULY INVESTED IN THIS PROJECT.

AND WITH THAT I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> NOT A QUESTION BUT JUST WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THIS WILL NOT IMPACT THE LIVE STOCK SHOW AND

THINGS LIKE THAT CORRECT? >> NO MA'AM IT SHOULD NOT.

IF ANYTHING WE MAY HAVE TO HELP WITH PARKING DECISIONS BUT WE WILL WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT WE IMPACT THEM AS LITTLE IF ANY AS POSSIBLE. SO WE WILL KEEP THEM UP TO DATE AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS. IT WON'T BE A SURPRISE FOR ANYBODY AT ANY POINT THROUGH THIS CONSTRUCTION.

ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME. >> YEAH, IT'S BEEN AWHILE.

AS YOU KNOW MY TIME. ALLISON'S TIME HAS BEEN SPENT ON OTHER ITEMS. AND WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DELIVER ON THIS TIMELINE AND TO PRESENT ON THEM FOR THE TEAM THEY'VE HELPED BUILD IN OUR OFFICE.

IT'S TRULY A CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE OF A GROUP.

IF ANYONE WOULD CARE TO MAKE THE MOTION ON THIS UTILIZING THAT LANGUAGE, THAT WOULD HELP US MOVE FORWARD.

RATE. >> THANK YOU MS. SCOTT.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? >> SECOND.

>> ALL RIGHT SO I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

AND JUST TO CLARIFY, THIS IS THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE.

THAT WAS PROPOSED. AND AT .4538.

SO IN DISCUSSION ON THIS? >> MAYOR, I JUST WANT TO BRIEFLY ADD THAT THE INCREASE ON THE MNO SIDE IS SPECIFIC TO NEW PROPERTY AND NEW IMPROVEMENTS.

THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE IS IN FACT WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING.

BUT OF COURSE THE VERBIAGE HAS TO BE READ IN THAT MANNER.

BUT TECHNICALLY THERE IS A VERY MINIMAL INCREASE COMING INTO OUR GENERAL FRONT ON THE MNO SIDE.

SOLELY CAUSED BY NEW IMPROVEMENTS.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT CLARIFICATION.

SO ALL RIGHT. SO WITH THAT THEN WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE TAX RATE.

NAUL FAVOUR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED?
