[3A. Discuss Herfurth Park trail options for Phase One renovation. (30 minutes)]

I ALREADY READ THE ITEM IN AARON, YOU ARE ON DECK WHEN YOU

ARE READY. TAKE YOUR TIME. >> SPEAKER: THANK YOU ALL.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT TONIGHT THE PHASE 1 RENOVATION TO THE PARK PEERED WE FIRST INTRODUCE THIS INTO

THOUSAND 12. >> MAYOR: CAN YOU INTRODUCE

YOURSELF? >> I'M SORRY, YOU KNOW ME. SO, IN 2012 WHEN THE INITIAL DISCUSSIONS BEGAN TO REDESIGN THE PARK, FAST-FORWARD TO MAY 2018 WHEN WE PRESENTED THE WORK SESSION TO DISCUSS A VARIETY OF CONCEPTS AND OPTIONS TO THE COUNCIL. FOR NOW UNTIL JULY 2019 THIS IS OUR SECOND WORK SESSION TO DISCUSS THE KEY AMENITIES THAT COULD BE INCLUDED IN THE IN THE PROJECT WITH THE DIFFERENT IDEAS THAT WE HAD. NOW TO JANUARY 2020 THE PARKS BOARD IN PREPARATION WITH LEAD TARA HAD A PUBLIC INPUT SESSION AT THE ROWLETT COMMITTEE CENTER WHERE 100 CITIZENS DISSIPATED AND CAME IN AND PROVIDED THEIR THOUGHTS, FEEDBACK AND OPINIONS. THE VERY NEXT MONTH IN FEBRUARY THE BOARD WAS PRESENTED WITH THE FINAL DESIGN AND WAS APPROVED DURING THE MEETING ITSELF. THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE FINAL DESIGN AND PHASING PLAN WHICH BRINGS US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. WHICH IS, PHASE 1 CONSTRUCTION CURRENTLY $1.6 MILLION REMAINING AS FAR AS FUNDING GOES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE. WITH THAT WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IS DEMOLITION OF FOUR EXISTING FOOTBALL FIELDS AND FENCING, EARTHWORK ON THE EXISTING BASEBALL FIELD TO ESTABLISH A GREAT OPEN LAWN REMOVING PART OF LLAMA DRIVE AND THE EXISTING PARKING LOT IN ORDER FOR US TO BUILD THE GRAND OPENING LAWN AND THEN LASTLY CONSTRUCT ANOTHER TRAIL WHICH IS WHY A BROUGHT US HERE TONIGHT. THE ONE THING I DO WANT TO EMPHASIZE IS WE WILL NOT BE REMOVING THE EXISTING HOCKEY RINK IN THE PARKING LOT GOOD THAT WILL TAKE PLACE UNTIL WE DESIGN THE NEW HOCKEY RINK WHICH I WILL TALK ABOUT LATER IN THE DATE. THE RESTROOM FACILITY WILL REMAIN WHICH WILL HOST THE HOCKEY LEAGUE IN THE WEST SIDE OF THE PARK TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE AND THE CENTRAL PARK DOG PARK WILL REMAIN AS WELL. TENNIS AND PICKLE BALL COURTS, CENTENNIAL DRIVE AND THE EXISTING DOG PARK WILL REMAIN AND WILL NOT BE TOUCHED THROUGH PHASE 1. TO MAKE THAT CLEAR TO EVERYONE. SO, AS BRAD IS GOING THROUGH HIS

[00:05:02]

OVER TO BRAD. >> THIS IS THE FAMILIAR DRAWING THAT EVERYBODY HAS SEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES. THIS IS THE APPROVED MASTER PLAN. AARON WENT THROUGH A GOOD SUMMARY OF TIMELINE THAT WE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR QUITE A WHILE AND WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE DIFFERENT CONCEPTS, IDEAS AND THOUGHT. IT DID COME DOWN TO A PHASING PLAN WITH THE GOAL OF CREATING PHASE 1. PHASE 1 BEING THE NEW GREAT LAWN AND AS MUCH OF THE TRAIL OR INTERIOR AS POSSIBLE. SO, INITIALLY WHAT WE HAD WANTED TO DO WAS TO CHECK IF WE OVERLAY THE TRAIL, THIS IS THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT SO GOING FROM THIS PRETTY PICTURE MASTER PLAN TO GETTING INTO THE DETAILS AND THE RADIUS IS AND HOW TO ACTUALLY BUILD THIS, WE WANTED TO OVERLAY THE TRAIL LAYOUT TO THE EXISTING ELEMENT WITHIN THE PARK. WE HAVE ALSO OVERLAID CENTENNIAL DRIVE WHICH IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE DEVELOPED BY THE DEVELOPER ON, THE NORTH IS TO YOUR LEFT SO THAT IS OUT OF THE SITE. CENTENNIAL DRIVE SOME OF THE TIMING OF THIS WAS WAITING ON SOME OF THE ENGINEERING CHANGES ON THAT. WE HAD THE ACTUAL DRAWING OF THAT AND I'M GOING TO STAND UP. IT WILL BE EASIER.

>> THE EXTENT OF CENTENNIAL DRIVE IS THE PARKING ALONG THE FACE WITH THE NEW DEVELOPMENT AND THE PARK AND TIE-IN TO CENTENNIAL DRIVE AND WILL STOP THERE SHORT OF THE PICKLE BALL COURTS AND THE DRAINAGE. SO, THIS DIAGRAM WAS SOMETHING TO TEST WHAT IS THE FUTURE PLAN AND WHAT IS IT LOOK LIKE ON TOP OF THE PARK? THESE ARE PARKING LOTS, THE BASEBALL FIELDS AND WE CAME UP WITH A COUPLE OF OPTIONS. THIS OPTION BEING, LOOKING AT SOME OF THE ELEMENTS THAT WE WANT TO KEEP IN THE PARK IN PHASE 1, KNOWING THAT PHASE 1 AND PHASE TWO AND THREE HAVEN'T BEEN DESIGNED YET THAT IN THE CONCEPTUAL PHASE, WE WERE LOOKING AT ATRIAL ALIGNMENT THAT COULD STILL BE BUILT. THIS IS YOUR LARGE TRAIL CREATING THE GREAT LAWN AND NOTICED TRAIL UP HERE WE CANNOT BUILD IT THROUGH THIS AREA YET BECAUSE OF THE EXISTING HOCKEY AREA AND BATHROOMS ARE PART OF CENTENNIAL DRIVE THAT WOULD NOT BE DEMOED PEERED WE BELIEVE THAT IS LEFT TO THIS DAY SO YOU CAN ACCESS THE RESTROOM FOR SERVICE AVAILABILITY AND ADDITIONAL PARKING IF YOU NEED IT. THIS ONE IS IN INTEGRATION SHOWING A TRAIL ABOUT A THREE MILE TRAIL USING THE EXISTING CENTENNIAL DRIVE AS A CONNECTOR. WITHIN THIS CONCEPT WE SAID YOU COULD PAINT A BIKE LANE WITHIN CENTENNIAL DRIVE, IT COULD BE TO 10 FOOT TRAVEL LANES WITHIN THAT 24 FOOT SECTION. AGAIN, THIS BEING AN INTERIM PIECE WHERE A FUTURE TRAIL WOULD TRAVEL THROUGH THE EXISTING ELEMENT THAT WOULD BE REMOVED. SOUTH OF THE TRAIL AND KEEPING EVERYTHING THE SAME, THERE IS SOME CONSTRUCTION IN THE BEAUTY WITH THE BASEBALL FIELD REGRESSING, RETURNING SOME OF THIS AREA SO THERE STILL CONSTRUCTION AT THE VIDEO BUT PHASE 2 AND PHASE 3 IS LATER. THE EXISTING DOG PARK, RESTROOM AND LIGHTING DOWN THERE STAY UNTIL PHASE 2 WOULD REFORMAT THOSE. ONE OF THE BIG DESIGN OPTIONS HERE, WE WANTED TO TALK TO ALL ABOUT AND THIS IS THE CONSENSUS WE ARE LOOKING OR. IF WE GO WITH A

[00:10:02]

>>> I DID CREATE A BUDGET SLIDE THINK IT WAS IN THE OTHER PRESENTATION THAT I SENT YOU. I DON'T KNOW IF IT GOT ON THERE, YOU HAVE IT? NO, THAT IS NOT IT. I DO HAVE A BUDGET SLIDE THAT SHOWS SOME OF THESE OPTIONS. WITHIN THERE IS THE CAPABILITY OF ONE, CREATING A DIRECTION MOVING FORWARD WITH ONE OF THESE TWO OPTIONS AND THEN GOING INTO MORE DETAIL PUSHING ONE OF THESE FURTHER TO THE TRUE ESTIMATE. I BELIEVE WE WOULD BE COMING IN WITH A BALANCED MOVE FORWARD INTO PHA2, PHASE 3 AND NOT BUILDING THE SIDEWALK AT THIS TIME. EVENTUALLY EVEN THIS CONCEPT. THIS IS THE DETAIL I WANTED TO SHOW YOU TONIGHT AND TALK ABOUT DO WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND BUILD A 12 FOOT TRAIL AROUND THE PARK AND GET CLOSER TO WHAT THE MASTER PLAN SHOWS? KNOWING THIS IS STILL AN INTERIM PHASE WITH PHASE 2 AND PHASE 3 COMING IS THIS MORE OF AN OPTION THAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO LOOK INTO A PURE DEMO AND THEN WORKING WITH SOME OF THESE EXISTING CONCRETE PIECES? THERE MAY BE THE ABILITY TO GET IN HERE IN DETAIL THAT AND SAWCUT THAT OUT TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A TRAIL MORE THAN A BACKSTOP. YOU CAN GET INTO THAT DETAIL AND IT PROVIDES MORE FLEXIBILITY WITH PHASE 1 FOR PHASE 2 AND THREE.

>> I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS. CAN YOU FIND YOUR FILE IF IT IS POSSIBLE?

>> SPEAKER: GIVE A SECOND EMAIL THAT I SENT YOU THIS MORNING?

>> MAYOR: IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND ALLOCATE SOME DOLLARS IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS OF THE PARK OF PHASE 1, KILLING TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE?

>> SPEAKER: SURE. I ESTIMATED THIS ONE AT 1.3 MILLION.

>> MAYOR: FOR EVERYTHING WITH THAT TRAIL?

>> SPEAKER: CORRECT. WITH A CONCRETE TRAIL. THAT IS 1.6, THAT IS THE BUDGET. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT IS IN HEARING THE COST AS WELL, ACTUALLY INCLUDED IT IN OUR

[00:15:05]

ESTIMATE WITHIN THE 1.3. >> MAYOR: WHAT IS THE OTHER

ONE? >> SPEAKER: THE OTHER ONE WITHOUT BUILDING THE TRAIL, I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK. DO YOU

HAVE THAT ESTIMATE? >> I HAVE THE 1.36.

>> WHAT IS THE COST ON THE 12 FOOT TRAIL?

>> ON THE 12 FOOT CONCRETE TRAIL? 246.

>> TAKEOUT TUNE OF 50,000. NO, WE DO INCLUDE PENALTY FEES BUT -WITH THAT SAID I THINK THAT IS MONEY THAT AS THIS GOES A LITTLE FURTHER, IT WILL PROBABLY CHANGE A LITTLE BIT IN TERMS OF WHERE WE WILL NEED IT. RIGHT NOW SOME UNKNOWNS ARE THE ELECTRICAL. WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS LOSE THE ELECTRICAL ON THE SIDE THAT IS FEEDING ANYTHING THAT WE WANT KEEP.

THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH WITH THE DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW. THERE MAY EVEN BE SOME ALTERATIONS THAT ARE TEMPORARY OR JUST FOR THIS IN TERMS OF ELECTRICAL.

WE ALSO HAVE YOUR OWN ALLOWANCE IN THE ELECTRICAL WORK. I WOULD SAY THE BIGGEST CHANGE WOULD BE ESTIMATING THAT THAT 250 IS NOT NECESSARILY GOING AWAY BUT NOT DOWN 100 PERCENT.

>> WHAT ARE THE PLANS FOR THE MAY ELECTION FOR THIS PORTION? WE HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THESE DISCUSSIONS.

>> THAT WILL BE THE DISCUSSION YOU WILL HAV I BELIEVE WE ARE SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER TO TALK ABOUT THE BOND ELECTION.

WHETHER WE HAVE THE FACILITIES AND WE PUT EVERYTHING BACK ON FOR THE PARK THAT CONVERSATION IS STILL TO COME.

>> WHAT IS THE COST FOR PHASE 2 AND PHASE 3? FOR EVERYTHING?

>> EACH ONE WAS 1.8. IT WAS A TOTAL OF 1.8 AND 1.8 AND 1.8

EACH OF THE PHASES. >> COUNSEL, YOU WILL REMEMBER WE DECIDED TO PUT THE OTHER 2.6 ON THE MAY ELECTION IN ORDER TO DO IT ALL AT ONE TIME BECAUSE OF THE PHASING CONVERSATION

WERE HAVING RIGHT NOW. >> YES WELL I DON'T WANT TO PUT CONCRETE IN THAT WE DON'T KNOW WILL STAY THERE. THAT'S A

REALLY BAD DECISION. >> YOU DIDN'T MENTION CRUSHED GRANITE DID YOU GET A PROPOSED PRICE ON THAT?

>> THAT WOULD BE, THE TRICK ON THAT IS WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT LATER? IN THE INTERIM PHASE AND TRULY BEING INTERIM WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS REALLY GRAY THAT TRAIL DOWN AND USE THE DP AS A SUBBASE FOR A FUTURE CONCRETE TRAIL. POTENTIALLY.

IF IT LANDS IN THE EXACT SAME ALIGNMENT. SOME OF THAT MIGHT GET MOVED, SOME MAY NOT. IT COULD BE 30 PERCENT, 40 PERCENT LESS THAN THE CONCRETE MAY BE A LITTLE BIT MORE. IT IS NOT GOING TO BE A HUGE WASH BUT I THINK YOU WOULD WANT IT DEPENDENT ON THE PERMANENT ABILITY AND HOW LONG YOU THINK IT WOULD BE IN THAT CONDITION WE WOULD SUGGEST EITHER A TRUE EDGE TO IT OR JUST DG. KNOWING HOW LONG IT WILL BE THERE WILL FLUCTUATE THE DESIGN APPLICATION, TOO.

>> THE PROBLEM I HAVE IT THAT IS WE HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WE HAVE KIDS GALORE.

IF WE PUT A TRAIL ON THE PARK THEY'RE GOING TO BE ON IT WITH THEIR BICYCLES AND ROLLERBLADES.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE DESIGN COST FOR THE ENTIRE PARK

FOR ALL THREE PHASES? >> WE HAVE 1.8 FOR EACH OF THEM SO, 3.6? ABOUT 7 AND A HALF MILLION.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK DESIGN COST IS, BALLPARK?

>> THE DESIGN. >> CONSTRUCTION, ENGINEERING

EVERYTHING. >> THE FIRST STAGE WAS 200,000 AND THAT INCLUDED THE SITE SURVEY AND THE SECOND PHASE TYPICALLY WITHOUT HAVING TO DO THAT AND ALREADY HAVE A CONCEPT PLAN IS USUALLY EIGHT TO NINE PERCENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION.

[00:20:02]

>> 30 $400,000? >> THE PROBLEM IS PAYING FOR ALL THE DESIGN AND DETAILED WORK WITHOUT THE BOND WE DOWN THAT ROAD. IT IS A FAMILIAR CONCEPT BUT IN PRACTICE IT COULD KILL YOU. THAT'S $4500 DOWN THE DRAIN IF VOTERS DON'T

APPROVE THE FINAL. >> AND WE GOT A FACILITIES

BOND? >> I AM LEANING ON, NOT THAT ONE BUT THAT IT SEEMS LESS INVASIVE.

>> I THINK IF THE BOND PASSES IN MAY YOU WILL STILL BE IN DESIGN AND YOU JUST ADDED ON. SO, IF YOU JUST WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT THAT'S FINE BUT IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF MONEY FOR DESIGN FOR THAT AND FOR ME, WE ARE ALMOST JUST WASTING MONEY IF THAT'S WHAT IT IS, WHAT'S ANOTHER SIX MONTH TO SEE IF IT PASSED BOND AND THEN WE CAN DO IT ALL AT ONCE?

>> YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHY THAT BOND DIDN'T PASS LAST TIME. THAT HAD TO DO MORE WITH THE TRAILS BEHIND THE SAME FAMILY HOMES IN THIS. WE HAD A LOT OF COMMENTS EVEN FROM THOSE PEOPLE IT AFFECTED THAT HAD THIS IN A STANDALONE BOND ISSUE THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FAVOR OF.

>> WITH THIS, THIS IS, PRETTY MUCH ALL WE ARE DOING IS DEMOING THE BASEBALL FIELD AND WHAT ELSE ARE YOU DOING?

>> DEMOING THE EXISTING PARKING LOT, MODIFYING THAT AND ADDING THAT SMALL TRAIL AND REALLY DOING SOME SITE GRADING. ALL OF THOSE BASEBALL FIELDS WOULD NEED TO BE CUT.

>> THAT ALREADY NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

>> THAT DOES NOT IMPAIR THE FINAL DESIGN?

>> YEAH. >> GET THE TRAIL FOR NOW AND THEN LET'S WAIT TO SEE WHAT WE DECIDE IN MAY.

>> THAT WHERE WE GOT TOWARDS THIS IS WHAT WAS THE LEAST INVASIVE ONE PHASE 1, TWO OR THREE AND THEN HOW CAN YOU GET SOME MOMENTUM OF WHAT IS GOING ON OUT THERE? WE COULD KNOCK THIS OUT REALLY QUICK AND IT WOULD PROBABLY GO TO BED LATE THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR. JUST WRAPPING IT UP. THEN YOU GET THE DEMO GOING AND YOU GET STARTED. LIKE WE SAID, WHILE

IT IS ALMOST BEING DONE. >> MAYBE WE DECIDE TO PUT THE TRAIL CONNECTOR IN BUT I DON'T INCORPORATED WE HAVE TO DECIDE

THAT TODAY. >> YOU DON'T. IT IS REALLY JUST A DIRECTION FOR ASH TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE ZOMBIES AND SEE WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO. THE DIRECTION TOWARDS THIS, THE OVERLOOK OF GETTING THAT DONE IS A FAST TRACK.

>> SINCE WE ALREADY HAVE TO DO THAT ANYWAY IN THE SITE WORK I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH GOING AHEAD AND DOING IT NOW AND

MOVING IT FORWARD. >> IS VERY HARD TO SAY HERE AND NOT SAY ANYTHING. I'M GOING TO BE REALLY HONEST. I WILL SAY THIS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THIS VERSION AND WE MET WITH RAD RECENTLY AND I ASKED HIM TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT EXISTING SIDEWALK AND FIND OUT A WAY TO INTEGRATE IT. I PUT SOMETHING IN THAT WERE GOING TO TAKE RIGHT OUT. IF YOU CAN DO A MIX OF CONCRETE THAT YOU WON'T HAVE TO TAKE OUT BUT CRUSHED GRANITE IS HIGH MAINTENANCE IT JUSTICE AND THAT THE NATURE OF THE BEAST AND WILL HAVE A LOT OF MAINTENANCE WITH THIS. I WOULD PREFER THAT WE USE THIS VERSION AND INVEST THE EXTRA DOLLARS NOT ALL OF THEM BUT SOME IN A BETTER TURF ESTABLISHMENT THAN GOING OUT AND SPRAYING THE GRASS WHICH IS CRITICAL. IT HAS TO BE WEED FREE AND GORGEOUS AND WE CAN SPEND SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL DOLLARS IN REALLY ESTABLISHING A GREAT TURF ON THAT GREAT LAWN AREA NOW AND GET IT HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR A GREAT LAWN AREA TO HAVE SPECIAL EVEN.

AND TO SAVE THE MONEY FOR THE TRAILS AND DO THAT WORK WHEN PHASE 2 AND PHASE 3 GET IT. IF WE DON'T NEED THE THREE AND $1000 IT WILL STAY IN THAT CIP FUNDS. AND THEN WE WILL ROLL

THAT MONEY INTO IT. >> WE CAN PICK UP A COUPLE OF THINGS IN PHASE II AND PHASE 3 TO DEAL WITH THAT. WE CAN MOVE TENNIS COURTS AND WE CAN HAVE A HOCKEY RINK.

>> ABSOLUTELY. THERE ARE THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE. THIS IS EXISTING CONCRETE INSTALLING A SMALL SECTION OF CONCRETE AND

[00:25:02]

THE UPFRONT. >> THE ONE THING I WILL SAY IS THAT THIS TRAIL IS SIX FEET WIDE SO IT'S NOT YOUR ULTIMATE 12 FOOT WIDE TRAIL BUT SOME AREAS WILL BE WIDER AND WE CAN COME UP WITH SOME STRATEGIES OF WHAT TO DO WITH SOME STRATEGIES WERE WE CAN MAKE THAT WORK INTO A TEMPORARY FACILITY. KEEPING THESE EXISTING RESTROOMS, YOU WILL ALREADY NEED THAT CONCRETE AROUND THERE BUT THERE IS ACTUAL ABILITY TO CREATE A LOOP WITH THAT. THE LOOP WOULD BE ALMOST THE SAME AS THE OTHER

ONE, ABOUT THREE QUARTERS? >> YES, THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

>> I THINK IT'S A GREAT COMPROMISE WITH WHAT'S GOING TO

HAPPEN THERE. >> I DON'T THINK WE WILL EVER

BUILD THAT. >> WERE NOT BUILDING ANYTHING EXCEPT THE ROOT LITTLE STRETCH RIGHT THERE POTENTIALLY.

>> I JUST THINK IT WILL BE APPROVED AND WE WILL MEET

FORWARD WITH EVERYTHING. >> AND IN THE MEANTIME THEY'RE

DOING THAT. >> THAT'S GREAT I'M FULLY ON

BOARD. >> EVERYBODY ELSE IS?

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

>> ONE QUESTION ON BOARD WITH DOING SOMETHING, IF WE CAN PUT IT IN THE DRAWINGS WHETHER IT INS UP PHASING WISE OR TIMING

WISE, THAT BIKE LINE IDEA? >> THE BIKE LINE IDEA AND THE STRETCH OF CONCRETE TO MEET IS THE SAME.

>> WHAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO IS DO ANOTHER PARALLEL PATH THAT WERE JUST GOING TO BE PAINTING IN THE TRAFFIC FOR THE SPARK IS GOING TO GO DOWN AND IT'S REASONABLE. IT IS NOT GOING TO BE PEOPLE DRIVING THROUGH HERE, IT'S REALLY ONLY GOING TO BE PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THE DOG PARK AND THE TENNIS COURT WHICH

IS A LOT. >> I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM

PUTTING A BIKE LANE IN THEIR. >> WE HAVE A DETAIL OF A TRUE LANE OF PAINTING THAT WHOLE THING AND MAKING IT STICK OUT.

>> DO YOU ALL WANT THAT IN THERE?

>> GO FOR IT. >> THANK YOU BRAD, THANK YOU ERIC. ALL RIGHT. IS THAT IT FOR THAT? ALL RIGHT WERE GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM - LET ME MAKE SURE THERE'S NOT ANYBODY HERE FOR PUBLIC INPUT OR DO YOU HAVE ANY PUBLIC INPUT? NO? I HAVE

[3B. Discuss and receive input to require no parking along one side of Singleton Street, Vaughn Drive and Lawing Lane in Toler Business Park. (30 minutes)]

>> OKAY. IN THE BOND ELECTION, WE'VE GOT APPROVAL TO DO THE DESIGN AND RECONSTRUCTION OF CENTURY AND ADDED INTO THE DESIGN A PORTION OF SINGLETON AND VON. BECAUSE THOSE ROADS ARE IN BAD SHAPE UNTIL YOU GET IN THAT CURVE THAT COMES AROUND THAT YOU SEE THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF SINGLETON. THE STREETS ARE VERY WIDE. WE'VE GOT NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM CITIZENS AND PROPERTY OWNERS ABOUT TRUCKS, TRAILER RIGS, ALL KINDS OF VEHICLES PARKING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET AND BLOCKING THE ROAD WHERE WE RARELY GET THROUGH. SO, DUE TO THE NARROW ROADS THAT WE'VE GOT NOW WE'VE GOT ISSUES WITH TRAFFIC TRYING TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THAT AREA ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE AN 18 WHEELER TRYING TO GET THROUGH THEIR. THIS IS

[00:30:07]

EQUIPMENT THROUGH. >> IT JUST MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR THE CARS. WHEN WE GOT 25 FEET AND WE HAVE A DULY MOVING THROUGH. THAT IS AGENCY SUPPORT FOR US BUT WE'VE GOT TO

DO SOMETHING. >> THIS SHOWS THE FIRE HYDRANT LOCATIONS AND ONE OF THE ISSUES WE HAVE SEEN DRIVING OUT THERE IS THE VEHICLES PARKED IN FRONT OF THE FIRE HYDRANT WHICH IS ILLEGAL TO PARK. SO, DUE TO CONCERNS, AND NO ONE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAD BEEN CALLED AND THEY'RE TRYING TO SELL PROPERTY TO BE REDEVELOPED. PEOPLE COME IN AND THEY SEE THE CARS AND THEY LEAVE. THEY DON'T EVEN WANT TO TALK TO THEM. I THINK SOME OF Y'ALL HAVE GOTTEN EMAILS FROM PEOPLE

OUT THERE AS WELL. >> BEFORE YOU MOVE ON, THAT FIRST STATEMENT, WHY, EXPLAIN TO ME WHY YOU WERE SUGGESTING THE NO PARKING SIGNS BE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET AS

THE FIRE HYDRANT? >> I WILL GET TO THAT IN JUST A MOMENT. WE ARE GOING TO PUT NO PARKING DOWN THE FIRE HYDRANTS ANYWAY YOU HAVE TO PARK IT MORE AND IF YOU PUT IT ON THAT SIDE AND YOU GET MORE DOUBLE PARKING PEOPLE. TYPICALLY, NO PARKING SIGNS ARE LOCATED WITHIN 25 TO 75 FEET APART. OUR RECOMMENDATION IS WE SPACE IT 50 FEET APART AND THEN REQUIRE OF TWO 70 SIGNS TO GO THROUGH THAT AREA AND ONE OF $50 IN THE AREA SHOULD BE ABOUT $150 FOR MATERIAL AND LABOR TO GET THOSE SIGNS IN. IT'S $10,500 FOR THE COST. SO I SHOWED YOU WITH THE VEHICLES PARKED WITH THE FIRE HYDRANTS AND THE SHERIFF STATION CODE PROHIBITS THE FIRE HYDRANTS AT PARK ONE AND THEY HAVE TO BE AT LEAST 15 FEET AWAY. OUR RECOMMENDATION IS THE SOUTH SIDE OF SINGLETON AND VAUGHN LANE AND THE WEST SIDE OF VON DRIVE AND THE FIRE HYDRANT LOCATIONS BEING MARKED NO PARKING. THAT WAY ONCE THEY ARE MARKED PD CAN ENFORCE THAT

AND WRITE MAC TICKETS. >> THEY CAN ENFORCE FIRE HYDRANTS TODAY. I'M NOT SAYING DON'T DO THE SIGNS BUT YOU CAN

ENFORCE FIRE HYDRANTS TODAY. >> YOU CAN.

>> WHY DO WE NEED SIGNS FOR THE FIRE HYDRANT?

>> EXACTLY. >> WHY DO WE NEED SIGNAGE?

>> GORGEOUS PUTTING A RED STRIPE NO PARKING RIGHT THERE.

>> YOU HAVE TO BE WITHIN THE 15 FEET. BECAUSE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN, I'VE SEEN PEOPLE PARK EVERYWHERE CLOSER THAN THE 15 FEET THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO STAY AWAY. IF YOU'VE GOT IT

PARKED RED AT LEAST THEY KNOW. >>.

>>> THIS IS THE RECOMMENDED LOCATION THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. THIS SOLID LINE IS WHERE WE RECOMMEND THE NO PARKING. AND, CROSSING THE FIRE HYDRANT AND THEN WE WOULD STRIKE THE FIRE HYDRANT LOCATIONS.

>>> THIS IS THE BUDGET. THIS IS TUNA $33,000 IN PAVEMENT MARKINGS REPLACEMENT, SIGNER PLACEMENT AND THAT IS 10,500

[00:35:03]

>> BEFORE WE CONCLUDE BEFORE WE DISCUSSED WE DO HAVE A CITIZEN THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WHICH WE NORMALLY DO BEFORE THE PRESENTATION BUT I DIDN'T GET THIS UNTIL AFTER SO I HOPE YOU ARE OKAY. IS IT OKAY IF I PAUSE YOU FOR A MINUTE TO LET

THE CITIZENS SPEAK? >> CHUCK SCRUB, IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU MAY SPEAK FOR THREE MINUTES IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RIGHT NOW.

>> MY NAME IS CHUCK STRAWSER AND I OWN A COMPANY ON DECK SUMMA ROAD I'VE BEEN THERE FOR 45 YEARS. AND I BOUGHT THAT LAND THAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO SOMEONE TRYING TO

SELL.[LAUGHTER] I AM THE ONE. >> SO WE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL

ABOUT IT. >> YES MA'AM. I WILL SEND YOU ALL PICTURES AND EMAILS ABOUT IT. THAT WAS AFTER YEARS OF JUST TRYING TO CALL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WOULD SIT ME OVER TO CODE ENFORCEMENT AND THEN I UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY CAN'T EVEN ENFORCE IT UNTIL AFTER THEIR SINUS PUT UP. I COULDN'T EVEN GET MY TRUCK AND TRAILER DOWN THROUGH THERE TO EVEN MAINTAIN IT. SO I HAVE TAKEN CUSTOMERS OVER THERE AND TWO OF THEM SAID THERE'S NO WAY I CAN DEAL WITH THIS WITH ALL THESE CARS AND TRUCKS. THEY SAID THIS IS BAD. I HAD WRITTEN THROUGH THE TOLER EDITION ARE YOU ALL PUT SIGNS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD AND THEY WERE PROVIDED BY AND THEY HAVE CARED WITH THOSE BUSINESS AS NORMAL. MY DESIRE WOULD BE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER PUTTING THE SIGNS ON BOTH SIDES. THERE'S NO REASON THAT A BUSINESS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET SHOULD BE PARKING FOR HUNDRED YARDS BACK. THOSE TRAILERS ARE COMING FROM A COMPANY THAT 500 YARDS.

>> THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK THEY DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE TIME TO ASK WHERE ARE THESE VEHICLES COMING FROM? IF THEY PUT UP NO PARKING SIGNS WHERE ARE THEY

GOING TO GO? >> THEY HAVE PARKING THERE, YOU

CAN PUT A PARKING LOT IN. >> THE ISSUE IS THEY HAVE A PARKING LOT BUT THEY'RE NOT SPENDING THE MONEY ON IT HE

MET. >> ARE ALL THE VEHICLES FROM

ONE COMPANY? >> IT'S FROM THREE. IF THEY HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY TO HIRE THAT MANY PEOPLE DID THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO- I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.[LAUGHTER]

>> I'M SORRY I KEEP INTERRUPTING YOU SORRY SIR.

>> WOULD LIKE TO SELL A LOT AND BRING MORE COMMERCE INTO THE CITY AND I WANTED TO BUILD FIVE OR SIX BUILDINGS IN THEIR AND I HAVE YET TO GET ONE CLIENT. I'M TRYING TO GET ONE PERSON IN THEIR BEFORE I START INVESTING THE MONEY. I ALREADY HAVE $800,000 INVESTED IN THE PROPERTY AND PAYING A MONTHLY NOTE ON THAT? I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

>> INTO SHOWS YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO GO POLITICAL CAN'T JUST GO

RIGHT TO THE POLICE. >> I RESPECT YOU FOR DOING

SOMETHING. >> THAT'S GOOD, THANK YOU.

>> THERE IS A CONSENSUS ON THE COUNCIL TO PUT THE NO PARKING SIGNS LIKE WE DISCUSSED AND THEN WE WILL REQUEST AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CODE CHAPTER 66 SECTION 60 JUNE 1, 2002 WHICH LIST THE STREETS AND CITY WERE NO PARKING IS ALLOWED SO THAT WILL BE WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO COUNSEL

THROUGH THIS ACTION. >> I DO HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ARE WE CAUSING A HARDSHIP IF WE HAVE NO PARKING ON BOTH SIDES?

>> WERE JUST PUTTING NO PARKING ON BOTHONE SIDE.

>> ARE WE PUTTING A HARDSHIP ON THE BUSINESSES IN DIFFERENT PUTTING NO PARKING ON BOTH SIDES? IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS.

IF YOU PARKING FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES TO PARK BUT IF YOU'RE PARKING ON A TRAILER, TO ME THAT'S NOT OKAY. IS THERE A WAY THAT THE CITY CAN DO NO PARKING FOR TRAILERS OR NO OVERNIGHT PARKING ON THE OTHER SIDE? I CAN UNDERSTAND IF YOU HAVE OVERFLOW FROM EMPLOYEES BUT THERE'S NO WAY THAT YOU CAN PARK A TRAILER AND THERE OVERNIGHT EVERY DAY BECAUSE IT

IS PUBLIC SPACE. >> WE CAN PUT IN A NO PARKING SIGN SAYS NO PARKING FROM 7 PM TO 6 AM WHATEVER THE TIME

[00:40:06]

RANGES. >> THE PROBLEM ALSO IS THAT WHEN THE ROADS WERE BUILT THEY WERE BUILT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD NOT

COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY. >> I WASN'T HERE THEN SO I

DON'T KNOW. >> THESE ROADS ARE VERY NARROW ANYWAY. SO, SPEAKING OF THAT YOU MENTIONED YOUBROUGHT UP ABOUT THE BOND AND YOU ARE PAYING MONEY TO CENTURY. DO YOU KNOW IN THE FUTURE PHASES IN THE DESIGN IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE A SIDE STREET PARKING AS PART OF THAT?

>> NUMBER. >> YOU DON'T KNOW OR NO THERE

WASN'T? >> NO WERE NOT PUTTING IN PARKING HERE WERE NOT WIDENING THE STREETS ENOUGH TO PUT IN PARKING FOR TRUCKS. YOU KNOW, THE SAME SITUATION.

>> THE OTHER THING I WILL TELL YOU IS WE ARE WORKING ON A GRANT FOR HALF OF THAT CIRCLE BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW THE BOND PROGRAM HAS THE ENTRANCE COMING INTO IT AND THE BACK HALF OF THAT CIRCLE ACTUALLY IS NOT IN BAD SHAPE. WE ARE APPLYING FOR THAT GRANT FOR THE FIRST PART WHERE THE ROAD COMES IN AT AND ALSO TRYING TO GET THAT DONE AS WELL. SO, I WANT TO WEIGH IN ON THIS, TO ME I THINK THIS IS AN EASY SOLUTION TO SEGREGATE ONE SIDE AS NO PARKING. I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME OF THE BUSINESSES DOWN THERE THAT HAD THE EXTRA PARKING AND YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CONSIDER WHAT ELSE THEY MIGHT DO BECAUSE THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE NO LONGER AT 400 FEET AWAY NOW THEY ARE AT 800 AND THEY MAY HAVE TO PUT IN SOME OF THAT PARKING. I THINK WHEN YOU DO THE DOUBLE-SIDED I'M NOT SURE THAT WERE REALLY ACCOMPLISHING BEING PROACTIVE FOR BUSINESS AFFAIRS AND THINGS LIKE THAT IN THE HEALTH OF THESE BUSINESSES HELPING THEM GROW AND PLACES FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES. I THINK DOING BOTH SIDES IS A LITTLE AGGRESSIVE.

>> I AGREE. ON THE OTHER SIDE YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PARKING FOR CLASSY VEHICLES AND TRAILERS. I'M COMPLETELY FINE FOR THAT TO BE OPEN FOR EMPLOYEES AND VEHICLES BUT THOSE FEW PARKING SPOTS WILL BE MONOPOLIZED BY SOMEONE WITH AN 18 WHEELER.

AND IN THE LEAVE IT THERE FOR A WEEK NOT BEING USED. I RECOMMEND WE LIMIT THE OTHER SIDE TO KNOW TRAILERS NO 18

WHEELERS JUST VEHICLES. >> IF WE DO THAT I THINK WE NEED TO GO TALK TO THOSE BUSINESSES AND MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR DAY-TO-DAY ISSUES ARE AND NOT JUST DO IT OVERNIGHT. I COULD SEE CLOSING DOWN ONE SIDE OF THE STREET AND CLOSING DOWN THE FIRE HYDRANTS AND WARNING THE BUSINESSES WERE GOING TO DO THAT IN SIX MONTHS. AND THEN THEY GO OKAY WE WILL DEAL WITH THAT OR THEY WILL SAY NO EIGHT MONTHS OR FOUR MONTHS. I DON'T THINK JUST DO IT OVERNIGHT BECAUSE THEY BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS.

THEY ARE A BUSINESS TO AN WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE.

LET'S AGREE WITH TAMMY'S IDEA. LET'S DO SIX MONTHS FOR AN ASSESSMENT DOWN IF THIS ISN'T RIGHT YOU ALL CAN BRING US ANOTHER OPTION TO ADD TO IT AND WHETHER WE HAVE ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE OR RESTRICTIONS ON VEHICLES OR WHATEVER THAT IS AT THAT POINT IN SIX MONTHS WE WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION.

>> SO LET ME UNDERSTAND WE GO AHEAD AND DO IT THE WAY WE'VE

GOT IT AND THEN JUST OBSERVE? >> TWO THINGS. I WAS HEADING DOWN THAT PATH BEFORE YOU MADE THE NO TRUCKS THOUGHT. I WOULD

GO TO THE BUSINESSES. >> I AGREE.

>> DO WE WANT THOSE TYPES OF VEHICLES PARKED ON THE STREET YES, SIR NO? DO WE WANT THEM ON ONE SIDE, BOTH SIDES OR NO SIDES, THOSE TYPES OF VEHICLES?

>> EVENTUALLY NO SIDES I WOULD THINK.

>> SO, WE FIND OUT HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE THOSE BUSINESSES TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE IF WE SHUT DOWN ONE SIDE OF THE STREET. NOW, THEY ALL HAVE BUSINESSES, TO AND IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME AND WE NEED TO GIVE THEM A

CHANCE TO FIX IT. >> REALISTICALLY IT IS AN INDUSTRIAL AREA AND SOME BUSINESSES DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR THESE TRACTORS AND TRAILERS TO BACKUP ANYWAY SO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO IF THEY CAN'T HAVE TRANSPORT TRUCKS IN THEIR?

[00:45:03]

>> ONE THOUGHT WAS TO HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD OR BUSINESS OWNER MEETING REGARDLESS. SECONDLY BY ZONING, PARKING IS SUPPOSED TO BE SELF-CONTAINED AND NOT OVERFLOW ONTO THE STREET SO OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A HICCUP. OUR GOAL IS AS WE EVOLVE FROM THIS PROCESS WE WANTED TO MEET WITH THEM AND UNDERSTAND FROM A PARKING PERSPECTIVE WHERE THEY ARE LOSING OUT YOUR SO, THEY COULD BE NONCONFORMING BUT WE NEED TO CREATE AND FOSTER THAT RELATIONSHIP AS WE START MAKING PROGRESS ON TRYING TO MANAGE THE PARKING SITUATION IN THIS SPECIFIC AREA.

>> THAT'S WHY THEY DON'T SHUT DOWN BOTH SIDES.

>> YES. >> I DON'T THINK YOU WAIT SIX MONTHS AND THEN START TALKING TO THEM.

>> NO, WE START TALKING TO THEM FROM A CONSENSUS STANDPOINT AND WE TAKE INCREMENTAL STEPS START WITH ONE SIDE AND CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION AND UNDERSTAND WHY WERE HAVING THIS OVERFLOW SITUATION AND A LOT OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS ARE USING STORAGE AND THAT IS COMPROMISING THEIR ABILITY.

>> WE HAD THIS NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING BEFORE WE SHUT DOWN ONE SIDE WILL WE GO INTO IT SAYING WERE SHUTTING DOWN ONE SIDE AND LET'S TALK ABOUT IT. THIS IS WHY WERE DOING IT NOW LET'S CONTINUE TO HELP YOU TO THE FINISH LINE BY LEARNING HOW TO

MAINTAIN. >> WE MIGHT HAVE TO DO THAT ANYWAY BECAUSE OF MY HAVE TO CHANGE AN ORDINANCE. WE HAVE

TIME FOR THAT COMMUNITY MEETING BEFORE HAND. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> WHAT DOES EVERYONE THINK? ARE WE GOOD?

>> SUGGESTION. >> WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NOTHING HERE.

THE CLASS? >> WITH THE HYBRID IDE MAYBE WE SHOULD LEAVE THAT OPEN AND THEN GO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET SO WE ARE NOT HIDING BEHIND THE CARS.

>> THAT WOULD BE MY OPINION. >> THIS WOULD JUST BE AN

ENFORCEMENTCEMENT ISSUE. P>> THIS IS THE SIMPLEST

SOLUTION. >> THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS. I WOULD IKE TO HAVE THAT HYBRID SIDE OVER ON THE NORMAL AREA THAT WAY THAT GIVES US A STRAIGHT SHOT AND IF A CAR PARKS TO CLOSE YOU A LOT OF AREA.

>> I SUGGESTED THE COW PICTURE ON TOP OF THE FIRE TRUCK.

[LAUGHTER] >> JUST PLOW.

>> HOW MAY TIMES JOY DO THIS WHEN YOU SAY THINGS LIKE THAT?

>> MAYOR, I THINK WE HAVE DIRECTION.

>> THANKS GUYS AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

>> YOU'RE WELCOME. >> I APPRECIATE IT.

>> TELL THEM IF THEY TRY TO PUT THOSE CARS ON MY PROPERTY I WILL BE ABLE TO SELL THOSE LOTS. THAT'S WHY I SUGGEST YOU PUTTING THEM THERE. OR YOU CAN PUT A LONGER FIRE LINE IN

THEIR. >> MR. SCRUGGS I THINK WHAT WE WERE SAYING IS WE NEED TO START ON ONE SIDE BUT THERE WILL STILL BE FURTHER COMPENSATION THAT YOU MIGHT BE IMPACTED ON

THE OTHER ONE AS WELL? >> UNDERSTAND THIS. NOTICE RESPECT BUT ANYWAY, PUT A LONGER NO PARKING IN FRONT OF THEIR AND YOU'VE GOT BUTTONS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND YOU CAN FIND YOUR FIRE ANYWAY. THAT'S ALL. I'M SORRY.

>> YOU ARE GOOD. >> THANK YOU.

>> I WAS TRYING TO GO BACK TO THE PART OF THE CONVERSATION ON WHY YOU DID IT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE AND I STILL DON'T

UNDERSTAND THAT ANSWER. >> IT KEEPS MORE VEHICLES OFF

THE ROAD. >> OKAY. TO MEET THAT INCHES YOU CLOSER TO NO PARKING ON BOTH SIDES SO IF YOU WANT TO GET THERE THAT YOU TO THEIR FASTER.

>> THAT'S THE IDEA. >> THAT REALLY CUTS DOWN ON THE COMMERCIAL VEHICLES. I THINK YOU NEED TO HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING BEFORE THE FINAL DECISION AND SEE WHAT WE DON'T

KNOW. >> WE WILL DO THAT. THAT WAS OUR GOAL REGARDLESS BEFORE WE EVEN DUG INTO THE ORDINANCE

BUT. >> WERE GOING TO LEARN SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T KNOW IN THIS ROOM.

>> AND IN BUILDING THAT RELATIONSHIP AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT USERS ARE WITH THEIR CONFLICTS WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO

SOLVE FOR THAT AS WELL. >> FOR SURE.

>> NO DECISION.[LAUGHTER] >> THERE IS A DECISION. GO

[00:50:01]

TALK TO THE PEOPLE. >> ALL RIGHT, THANKS EVERYBODY.

TO BE CONTINUED. ALL RIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM 3C.

[3C. Present an update on the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). (30 minutes)]

THANK YOU, SIR. >> THANK YOU ALL.

>> DID I READ IT? YES. >> YES I DID.

>> NUMBER. >> NOT THIS ONE.

>> I DID TO! >> CIP? I DID READ IT.

>> ALL RIGHT WELL WE ARE READY.

>> HE STARTING AND HE'S THERE NONETHELESS. ASK HIM YOURS BE

STABLE AS YOU ARE. >> GOOD EVENING COUNSEL. WE ARE HERE TO PROVIDE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE CIP PROJECT COULD WE WILL START WITH PUBLIC SAFETY. WE'VE HAD PUBLIC SAFETY PROJECTS IN THE PAST THREE BOND ELECTIONS AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE HAD OUR TRAINING FOR TWO YEARS AND IT'S VERY FUNCTIONAL AND THINGS ARE MOVING WELL. THE GUYS ARE ENJOYING BEING OUT THERE AND I APPRECIATE THE COUNSEL AND CITY MANAGER AND CITIZEN SUPPORT. AS WE PROVED FIRE STATION NUMBER 42 WE HAVE THE GRAND OPENING ON OCTOBER 9.

THANKS FOR USING UP WELDING AND WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE EVERYBODY WHO DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO COME OUT COME OUT SO WE CAN SHOW THE FIRE FACILITIES. AND WE ARE SETTLED TO START THE DESIGN ON THE SAPPHIRE BAY FIRE STATION AND THAT WAS APPROVED IN THE 2021 BOND ELECTION AND WE ARE SET AND READY TO EXECUTE THE PROJECT AND TO GET THE THUMBS UP SO WE CAN BE READY TO GO WHENEVER. CAN MINE, FOR DESIGN FOR THE MONTH I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.

>> ALL RIGHT. THANKS CHIEF. IN 2015 THE BOND PROJECTECT THIS BY FAR, TO BE HONEST HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE SINCE DAY ONE JUST BECAUSE OF THE OBSTACLES WE RAN INTO BUT WE ARE HEADED IN THE RIGHT PATH. WE DESIGNATED AN AREA OUTSIDE OF THE TAKE LINE ON THE SOUTH SIDE BY THE FIRST PARKING LOT. THAT WAS THE SAFEST PLACE. WE KNEW THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A LONG RUN FOR A SEWER LINE INSTALLATION SO WE RECEIVED A $96,000 DID AND BORDERLINE INSTALLATION. WE STILL HAVE TO LOOK AT OTHER UTILITIES WHICH IS FRESHWATER RAN TO THE SITE AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE THIS INSTALLATION IN THE SPRING OF 2022. ANOTHER THING YOU'LL NOTICE IS THE REMAINING ENDING WHICH IS 129,000 AND MORE LIKELY WE WILL HAVE TO USE SOME FUNDS FROM OTHER REMAINING PROJECTS TO ENSURE THAT THE

RESTROOM IS FUNDED. >> A LOT OF WORK FOR A

RESTROOM. >> SOME OF THE REMAINING REMAINING FUNDING, NATURE TRAILS, THE STAFF IS MEETING WITH THE LANDSCAPE COMPANY TO VISIT SOME OF THE REALLY BAD AREAS TO ASSESS THE DRAINAGE AND RUNOFF AREA SO IT WILL PREVENT THE SAME ISSUE FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. SOME FUNDING WILL GO TO THAT. KATIE RIVERPARK 57,000 WHICH WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO COMBINE WITH HOCKEY WHICH I WILL GET TO A JUST A FEW MINUTES. SPRINGFIELD PARK ONE OF $13,000 ON EROSION CONTROL. I WAS OUT THERE TODAY AND IT SEEMS BE GETTING A LITTLE BIT WORSE SO WE WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT SOON AND THE COMMUNITY PARK $18,000 WHICH WE WILL COMBINE

WITH 2018 FUNDING. >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT

MEANS. >> MOVING IT TO THE 2018 COMMUNITY PARK FUNDING THAT WE HAD.

>> OKAY. >> MOVING TO THE 2018 CIP BOND PROJECT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THIS OPEN SPACE AT HERFURTH PARK, THE DEMOLITION OF THE BALLFIELD AND THIS SECTION OF TRAIL. 95 PERCENT COMPLETE AND WE WILL GET THE MOVEMENT ON THAT WICK AND HOPE TO HAVE EVERYTHING ROLLING BY THE FIRST OF THE YEAR IF NOT RIGHT AFTER.

[00:55:03]

>> LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING. WITH THE CONFIGURATION THAT WERE TALKING ABOUT WILL WE HAVE ANY TROUBLE GETTING THE STAGE DOWN THEREFORE EVEN IN THE BATHROOM DOWN THEREFORE AN

EVENT? >> WE WILL BE OR SHOULD BE NO

ISSUES AT ALL. >> THAT IS HERFURTH PARK. THEN LATER UPON GARDEN GROVE WE HAD TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD A COUPLE OF TIMES ONLY BECAUSE OF THE COSTS THAT WE HAVE RUN INTO. WE'VE HAD TO ELIMINATE A FEW OPTIONS AND FORTUNATELY WE ARE AT 90 PERCENT. WE WILL MEET WITH THE COURT NEXT WEEK TO TALK ABOUT THE KAYAK LUNCH AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THAT MOVING QUICK. I KNOW THIS IS ONE OF OUR STRATEGIC INITIATIVES AND I THINK ONCE THE FIRST PHASE IS DONE THIS WILL BE A POPULAR SPOT FOR PEOPLE TO VISIT. IT WILL BE A NICE AREA FOR THEM TO LAUNCH AND PADDLE OVER TO THE POINT OR PADDLE BACK SO WERE REALLY EXCITED TO HAVE THIS.

>> KENWOOD HEIGHTS WE ORIGINALLY PUT OUT A BID FOR SOIL REMEDIATION. WE HAD SOME STRUGGLES WITH THAT GOOD WE HAD SOME TROUBLE WITH FINDING AN ARCHITECT TO DESIGN A BASKETBALL COURT. WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO IS REBID IT ALL AS A TURNKEY OPERATION RATHER THAN HAVING FOUR DIFFERENT CONTRACTORS. THAT WILL BE A REGULATION SIZE BASKETBALL

COURT. >> WHEN YOU THINK THAT WILL BE

OCCUR? >> I WANT TO VISIT WITH TOM AND TIM TOMORROW. > I HAD SOMEONASK ME ABOUT THAT .

>> GENERAL CONSTRUCTION IS EXCITING. WE GOT THE LAKE TRAIL MOVING ALONG WHICH WE WILL GET INTO A SECOND BUT IT'S 50 PERCENT COMPLETE. WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED DISCUSSIONS FOR THE GARNER QUAD TRAIL WHICH IS NEXT ON THE AGENDA. SO, WERE SURE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WE WILL SEE THE TASK AUTHORIZATION BEGINNING TO MOVE ON THAT.

>> HERE IS THE LAKE COLLEGE TRAIL. NORTH ROCK CONSTRUCTION IS THE CONTRACTOR WHO WAS AWARDED. ROUGHLY ABOUT HALFWAY COMPLETED AS FAR AS THE TRAIL GOES ITSELF. 54 PERCENT COMPLETE. THEY ARE RUNNING INTO SOME ISSUES WITH CONCRETE MATERIAL, SOME SUPPLIES AT THE FRONT TIMES AND THEY ARE DOING AS MUCH AS THEY CAN WIN THEY CAN DO IT. THE PROJECTED COMPLETION DATE IS EARLY DECEMBER AS OF RIGHT NOW BARRING NO OTHER SETBACKS OR THINGS LIKE THAT. SO, THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT IS BASICALLY THE OUTLINE OF THE TRAIL. THESE TWO PICTURES YOU SEE NOW ARE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION PHOTOS. WHAT IS COOL ABOUT THIS TRAIL AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY TOLD YOU OR NOT BUT EVERY QUARTER-MILE THE CONCRETE IS A DIFFERENT SHADE. IT SHOWS YOU THAT IT IS A QUARTER-MILE SO THERE WILL BE NICE MEDALLIONS IN THE CONCRETE. THAT WILL BE

COOL. >> IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE REALLY MOVING ALONG. I HATE HAVING CONCRETE ISSUES.

>> IF YOU HAVEN'T DRIVEN DOWN IT HAS A GREAT VIEW. IT'S A GREAT VIEW OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

>> IS IT BEING USED YET? >>.[LAUGHTER]

>> WHY IS THAT SO FUNNY? >> I THINK PEOPLE ARE USING IT

THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AND. >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING

ARE PEOPLE LOVING IT ALREADY? >> THEY ARE. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL TRAIL. LEXI ENGINEERING ASSISTANT FREQUENTLY GET STOPPED BY HOMEOWNERS ASKING WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO BE DONE THEY ARE SO EXCITED. THEY HAD ONE CONCERN ONE HOMEOWNER AND THEY WENT OUT THERE AND VISITED WITH HIM BUT EVERYBODY IS JUST CHOMPING AT THE BIT FOR THIS TRAIL TO BE DONE TO BE ABLE TO USE THE AREA BEHIND THEIR HOMES AND WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF THINGS GOING IN. THEY ARE VERY EXCITED.

>> I WISH I HAD A TRAIL BEHIND MY HOME. OH WAIT WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION. [LAUGHTER] THAT WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT. MOST RECENTLY WE HAD LANDSCAPES UNLIMITED DO SOME DRONE FOOTAGE OF THE ENTIRE PARK. WHAT THEY DID WAS TAKE A DRONE UP, THEY DID EIGHT FOG REVIEW SURVEY THAT SHOWS THIS LEVEL MEANT THAT SHOWS WHERE CROWNS ARE THAT SHOULDN'T BE CROWNED SO WE FOUND OUT TODAY THEY WERE MAKING FINAL REVISIONS TO IT AND WE SHOULD

[01:00:03]

>> THAT IS SUCH AN UNDERUTILIZED PARK.

>> IT WILL BE NICE TO GET OUT THERE.

>> SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PARK. >> FINALLY, THE FUNDING REMAINING FROM 2018 WITH THE WATERPARK, I THINK KELLY AND CARRIE HAVE YOU MUCH HAD A PLAN TO UTILIZE THIS QUICK. WE WILL HAVE THAT TAKEN CARE OF AND THEN WHEN STAR AND THIS FIELD WE WERE GOING TO COMBINE BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO USE THAT AS A MOBILE STAGE FOR 2000. THE ONLY ISSUE WITH TRYING TO BRAND THE STAGE NOW BECAUSE OF THE SIDEWALL IS NOT METAL IT IS JUST THE FABRIC AND YOU CAN'T PAINT ME THING ON IT. WE DID TAKE SOME OF THAT MONEY AND WE WRAP THE MOBILE RESTROOM TRAILER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT. SO, IT LOOKS GOOD.

>> WHERE IS CHRISTY GOLF? >> IS COMING. IT'S THE DESIGNER. I TALKED TO THE DESIGNER AND HE'S PUTTING THE

LAYOUT ON. >> I'M SORRY, DISC GOLF DID SAY

IT RIGHT. >> I MET WITH PAUL REYNA AND ANOTHER DESIGNER, HE IS LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN INCORPORATES THE

PARK. >> A LEGIT DISC GOLF.

>> WIN? >> AS SOON I CAN GET SOME STUFF BACK. I AM PUSHING IT. IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

>> IS A CHEAP INVESTMENT FOR AN ASSET TO OUR COMMUNITY. THAT PARK IS GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL DISC GOLF COURSE.

>> HE HAD SOME AMAZING IDEAS AND I'M THINKING THAT'S AWESOME. I DON'T PLAY DISC GOLF BUT.

>> I DON'T PLAY DISC GOLF, I SUPPORT OTHER SPORTS, TO BUT IT IS BECOMING A HUGE SPORT. A LOTS OF TOURNAMENT ALL OVER THE

PLACE. >> OH YEAH, LOOK AT THIS. NEXT THEY DON'T TEND TO PARK AREA WELL WITH THE ORGANIZATIONS AS FAR AS HIRING A LANDSCAPE DESIGNER LIKE YOU WOULD FOR A

GOLF COURSE. IT'S TOUGH. >> YOU GUYS SAID MAY.

>> YES MA'AM. >> GOT A DATE OUT OF

THEM.[LAUGHTER] >> ALL RIGHT. WE NEED TO MOVE ON. WE'VE GOT ABOUT 20 MINUTES.

>> THANK YOU. >> WE HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT THAT WAS COMPLETED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. ALL OF THE NEW STREETS ARE CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGN AND ALL THE OTHER ONES WERE COMPLETED MORE THAN SIX MONTHS AGO. WE HAD THE $2 MILLION WATER TANK REFURBISHED AND REPAINTED THROUGHOUT THE PUMP STATION AND MOST OF THE PROJECTS, THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS LIST TO THE RIGHT. THESE ARE THE CURRENT ONES UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THIS IS THE THORNHILL ALLEY AND THEY FINISHED FAULT ALLIE AND 50 PERCENT NIST WITH NJ ROAD WHERE IT CAME FROM. YOU MUCH WHERE THEY DID WORK THAT IS WHERE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW. HERE ARE COUPLE OF PICTURES OF WHAT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW. THIS IS THE LAKESHORE WHEN BRIDGE ALLEY AND THIS WAS ROLLED IN WITH ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE WE HAD GOTTEN SOME FUNDING FOR IT AND SOME DESIGN WAS AWARDED WHERE WE HAD SOME PRE-CON ON IT AND

WE ARE SCHEDULING ONE. >> THAT IS WHAT THE VALLEY LOOKS LIKE. THIS IS THE LAKELAND HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION.

[01:05:05]

THEIR DRIVEWAYS. >> THAT IS WHAT THE STREET

LOOKS LIKE RIGHT THERE. >> ARE GOING TO BE VERY HAPPY

WHEN THAT IS DONE. >> YES.

>> THE GUY WITH THE ORIGINAL DISCUSSION WAS TO SHUT FIVE DRIVEWAYS DOWN AND ALLOW PEOPLE TO KEEP THE DRIVEWAY OF THEIR HOUSE SO THAT IT WOULD BE 150 FEET OR SO FROM THEIR HOUSE.

>> THEY CAN PARK ON THE OTHER SIDE. WERE ONLY TAKING HALF

THE STREET OUT AT A TIME. >> THEY CAN PARK IN THEIR YARD.

>> OR IN THEIR GARAGE. >> A LOT OF THEM THEY CAN'T GET TO THE GARAGE BECAUSE THE DRIVEWAY IS JUST OFF THE

STREET. NO ALLEYS. >> THIS IS A 30 INCH SANITARY SEWER. WE HAVE PROJECT ONE AND PROJECT TO PROJECT ONE IS THE ONE THAT COMES FROM THE EAST SIDE AND RUNS DOWN SOUTH AND THEN THE PEACE THAT COMES UP TO CHIESA AND THEN PROJECT TO PICKS UP AND GOES UP AND MEETS WITH SENIOR LIVING VILLAGE.

THEY BUILT A PIECE AROUND THEIR VILLAGE SO IT WILL BE CONNECTING ON THE SOUTH SIDE. WE ONLY HAVE THE FUNDS TO DO WHAT YOU SEE THERE AND THE ACTUAL PROJECTS, THE SEWER TREE IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES UP THAT TOWARDS DALROCK. WE DID NOT DO ANYMORE THAT BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE THE FUNDS. WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING PROJECT ONE OR PHASE 1 TO ADD THE CONSTRUCTION AND WE WILL HAVE A MEETING WITH THEM AND GET THE KICKOFF GOING.

THESE ARE PROJECTS AND DESIGN. THIS IS THE LOAN BRANCH CREEK EROSION WHICH I KNOW YOU HAVE ALL HEARD A LOT ABOUT. SO, ALBERT HALF DID A STUDY ON IT AND MADE RECOMMENDATIONS OF WHERE THEY CAN MAKE PIMPROVEMENTS ALONG THE BANK TO TAKE CARE OF THE EROSION PROBLEMS AND WE HAVE A TASK ORGANIZATION APPROVED FOR SEPTEMBER TO DO THE ACTUAL DESIGN OF THE PROJECT. THESE ARE COUPLE AREAS OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW. THESE ARE THE CITY WEITURNOUTS. YOU TO PRIORITIZE WHICH ONES YOU WANT DONE FIRST AND THIS IN THE AREA WE AWARDED THE ONES THAT ARE ON MILLER AND GEORGE BUSH AND THE DESIGN IS 95 PERCENT COMPLETE AND WE HAVE THE PLANS BACK TO GARBER AND AND A HALF A CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE TO DO THOSE LANES AT 1.25 MILLION. THESE LANES ARE THE ONES THAT WILL BE THROWN IN. THESE ARE TURNING OFF LIGHT YOU TO KENWOOD AND THEN GOING WESTBOUND. THAT WAS AWARDED LAST MARCH TO OUR JM AND THEY'VE GOT 65 SET PLANS AND

WE'VE GOT THOSE ON VIEW. >> SO, WE ARE GETTING CLOSE?

>> YES. >> YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO

TURN RIGHT. >> QUITE A LONG TIME FOR TURN

LANES. >> THIS IS MILLER ROAD CONSTRUCTION. THE DESIGN WAS PRETTY CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED.

THEY FINISHED BUT THEN THEY GOT TO ADD A THIRD PHASE AND WE DID

[01:10:05]

THAT IS THE ONLY OUTSTANDING THING RIGHT NOW BEFORE WE CAN ACTUALLY DID IT OUT. THIS IS CHIESA ROAD AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT EARLIER. ONCE WE GET A CONSENSUS ON WHERE TO PUT THAT FINAL ALIGNMENT DOWN THERE WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NEXT

PHASE OF THE DESIGN PLANS. >>> THIS IS NESTLED STREET DOWN TO GEORGE BUSH AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT IS TO THE LEFT OF THAT WHERE IT IS A DARK WORKING LOT THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN IMPROVED AND THEY HAD THE FUNDING TO DO THAT. THAT WAS THE SYSTEM FROM THEIR PARKING LOT THAT WAS APPROVED. WE HAD A DESIGN KICKOFF MEETING THIS WEEK WITH THE RJ IN GROUP AND THEY'RE GOING TO BEGIN THE SURVEY NEXT WEEK. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT DID MAIN STREET AND WHEN THEY GET DONE IT WILL BE VERY

SIMILAR TO MAIN STREET. >>.

>>> HERE ARE A COUPLE PICTURES OF IT NOW. THIS IS THE COUNTRY AIR ESTATES AND WHAT WE HAVE FUNDING FOR RIGHT NOW IS THE RED PORTION OF PHASE 2 PORTION IS IN YELLOW AND THAT WILL BE DESIGNED BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE ACTUAL MONEY TO BUILD THIS UP WE HAD A PROJECT KICKOFF MEETING WITH THE CONSULTANT LAST WEEK AND THEY GOT THE SURVEY UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW.

HERE ARE A COUPLE PICTURES OF THE STREET OVER THERE.

>> THIS IS THE BUSINESS PARK THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

SCHAEFER WAS AWARDED THE DESIGN IN THAT AND RIGHT NOW WE ARE JUST DOING THE CENTER. PHASE 2 IS THE YELLOW. SO, THAT SURVEY IS UNDERWAY AND WE WILL HAVE IT COMPLETE BY EARLY NOVEMBER 2021. THAT IS E WE ARE ON THA .

>> THE YELLOW PORTION IS WHERE WE ARE ASKING TO PUT INTO THE

GROUND? >> IF WE ARE DOING AN ORDINANCE OF STREET PARKING WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO RENAME A STREET? IS THAT PART OF AN ORDINANCE, TO? WE TALKED ABOUT NAMING A STREET BACK THERE HOWARD DRIVE OR SOMETHING. DO WE DO THAT AT

THE SAME TIME? >> THE TREE REMOVAL?

[LAUGHTER] >> NUMBER.[LAUGHTER]

>> THEY SAY YOU CAN DO IT BY RESOLUTION.

>> ARE YOU ALL IN SUPPORT OF THAT?

>> ABSOLUTELY. IT CHANGES ADDRESSES SO IT'S NOT LIKE IT IS THEIR EFFECT. CAN YOU INCORPORATES THAT INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD DISCUSSION DECISION-MAKING?

>> YES I CAN. >> IS NOT ZERO COST TO BUSINESSES WHEN YOU CHANGE THEIR NAME.

>> SHIFTED CHANGE THE POST OFFICE, IT'S A BIG DEAL.

>> WE CAN COORDINATE THAT BETWEEN THIS.

>> IS THERE A NEW ROAD COMING IN ANYWHERE?

>> CAN WE LEAVE THE NAMES SAME?

>> THAT WHAT DALLAS DOES. ASK I'M SORRY. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET THAT DONE. GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY.

>> THAT'S ALL RIGHT. NOT TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT BUT WHAT IS

THE STREET NAME? >> THIS IS A 24 INCH WATER LINE IS GOING TO SERVE SAPPHIRE BAY AND CURRENTLY IT IS ALMOST COMPLETE. AND, THE CONSTRUCTION COST IS 13.7 MILLION AND WE PROVIDE A GLIMPSE TO THE DEVELOPER AND WE ARE STILL WAITING ON HIS COMMENTS. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GET THEM BACK THIS WEEK. BUT THE WATERLINE DECIDES THE

[01:15:07]

ANTIQUITIES HAD A PERMIT AND THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING COMPLETED. WE HAVE SURFACE TRANSPORTATION LOT GRANT THAT WILL GIVE US $14 MILLION. THE DOWNSIDE IS THAT WE HAVE TO DO ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. WE HAVE TO MEET AND SO THAT DATE IS GOING TO BE PUSHED OUT TO JULY 27 IS WHEN WE ESTIMATE THE DESIGN WILL BE COMPLETE SO WE CAN BID IT OUT.

>> WHAT? >> TO GET THE FEDERAL FUNDS.

IT IS BECAUSE OF THE FUNDS. WE HAVE ANOTHER OPTION THAT WE CAN PUT A BOND ELECTION UP FOR 14 MILLION BUT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER TO GET IT FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

>> MAY BE IN MY LIFETIME THIS WILL GET DONE?

>> IS STILL THE POSSIBILITY THAT WE MIGHT EXTEND THAT STUB OUT BUT NOT THE ENTIRE ROAD AT THIS POINT.

>> THE QUESTION TWO IS WHAT IS THE INFLATION RATE BY THEN?

>> THAT WOULD BE THE COMPLETION DATE. HERE IS THE DEAL. WHEN YOU HAVE FEDERAL FUNDS INVOLVED, THAT IS YOUR TRADE-OFF. TIME IS YOUR TRADE-OFF. AND SO, IF WE DON'T WANT THE MONEY WE MAKE ONE DECISION AND IF WE WANT THE MONEY THE DECISION IS MADE FOR US.

>> 14 MILLION? >> I TELL YOU, WE CAN MAKE A

DIFFERENT DECISION. >> ARE WE IN ANY DANGER OF

LOSING THAT MONEY? >> THE COUNTY MONEY, OBVIOUSLY THE BRIDGE IS ONE WHERE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE WE PROBABLY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CLAIM THAT. I THINK A DECISION ON THAT WILL BE GONE THREE YEARS BUT WE COULD ASK FOR POSSIBLE EXTENSION. THEY WOULD REALLY LIKE US TO STAY WITHIN THREE YEARS AND I THINK IF WE DON'T DO ANYTHING, I THINK WE LOSE IT. IF THEY KNOW WERE DOING SOMETHING AND WE HAVE THE FUNDING LINED UP AND WE ARE JUST WAITING FOR THIS PIECE THEN I THINK THAT WOULD BE MY THOUGHT. WE WOULD HAVE THOSE

CONVERSATIONS THEN. >> YES.

>> WHEN THEY GAVE US THAT MONEY OR PROVIDED THAT MONEY PART OF THEIR GOAL WAS TO LEVERAGE THAT INTO OTHER FUNDING. IT WOULD BE IT WOULD NOT BE A GOOD THING FOR THEM TO PULL THAT OUT AFTER

THEY ACHIEVED THAT. >> IS THAT IT?

>> A LOT GOING ON. WE HAVE ACHIEVED A LOT.

>> THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR THAT GREAT OF A. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. A LOT OF STUFF HAPPENING. COUNSEL, CAN YOU LOOK AT THE CONSENT AGENDA DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS OR WANT ANYTHING PULLED FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION?

>> NO MA'AM. >> WE ARE GOOD ERIC.

>> DOES ANYONE HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT?
