          WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER SIGNED UP TONIGHT. 
          MICHAEL S SELLMAN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          MY NAME IS MICHAEL SEL. 
          I CODE MAYOR DUTY AND CITY COUNCIL. 
          ANOTHER WEEK IS PASSED. 
          OH, WHAT LEMME THINK. 
          ANOTHER WEEK HAS PASSED THE LOSS OF LIFE, THE DESTRUCTION OF HOMES AND PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE CONTINUES, AND NOW THE STARVATION OF AN ENTIRE POPULATION IS AT HAND. 
          AS ALL OF THIS TAKES PLACE, OUR MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS SIT IDLY BY UNABLE TO FORMULATE A RESPONSE OR EVEN AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE GENOCIDE UNFOLDING IN PLAIN VIEW FOR THE WORLD TO SEE. 
          ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS I COME BEFORE YOU REPEATEDLY IS THAT I WANT MY VOICE, ALONG WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE SPOKEN WORDS OF ANGUISH AND CONCERN TO BE A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY'S PERMANENT HISTORY. 
          FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO HISTORICAL RECORDS REVEALING HOW OUR CIVIC LEADERS FAILED TO RESPOND TO THE CRISIS PRESENTED BEFORE THEM. 
          NO ONE WHO HAS HEARD OUR WORDS WILL EVER BE ABLE TO HIDE BEHIND THE CLAIM THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN GAZA, OR DID NOT KNOW HOW BAD THINGS WERE, OR THAT THEY WERE POWERLESS TO ACT FUTURE GENERATIONS. 
          OUR CHILDREN, OUR GRANDCHILDREN, AND THEIR CHILDREN, WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE SUCH A SIMPLE EFFORTLESS ACT AS ISSUING A ONE PAGE DOCUMENT. 
          CALLING FOR AN END TO HOSTILITIES WAS NOT ACTED ON FOR REASONS THAT WILL NEVER HOLD UP TO THE TEST OF TIME. 
          THE CHALLENGE FACING YOU REQUIRES ONLY A BARE MINIMUM OF COURAGE. 
          THE MERE OBJECTION TO THE ONGOING DESTRUCTION OF A PEOPLE AND THEIR ENTIRE CULTURAL HERITAGE. 
          I AM SURE THAT EVERY ONE OF YOU KNOWS IN YOUR HEART THAT HISTORY WILL NOT JUDGE KINDLY YOUR BLANK RESPONSE TO WHAT MANY CONSIDER TO BE THE DEFINING CRISIS OF OUR TIME. 
          EACH OF US WHO FAILS TO STEP FORWARD WILL FOREVER BE LABELED A BYSTANDER. 
          MOST OF US HAVE WONDERED AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER WHAT WE HAVE WOULD'VE DONE IN THE IN TIMES PAST WHEN IT TOOK GREAT COURAGE FOR SOMEONE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST INJUSTICE. 
          [00:05:02]
PERHAPS OUR SELF-QUESTIONING REGARDED THE TREATMENT OF BLACK AMERICANS DURING TIMES WHEN ABUSE, PREJUDICE AND DEHUMANIZATION WERE THE NORM. 
          OR POSSIBLY WHEN VISITING A HOLOCAUST MUSEUM, WE HAVE QUESTIONED WHAT OUR RESPONSE WOULD'VE BEEN TO THE HORRORS GOING ON. 
          HAD WE BEEN LIVING IN ANY OF THE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES WHERE JEWS, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, GAYS AND AND OTHERS WERE ROUNDED UP AND EXTERMINATED TODAY, YOU NO LONGER NEED TO WONDER WHAT YOU WOULD'VE DONE. 
          WE HAVE THE ANSWER. 
          YOU'RE DOING IT RIGHT NOW. 
          WHILE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, A GENOCIDE IS UNFOLDING BEFORE OUR EYES AND CLEAR AND IN UNDENIABLE WAYS, THE VOICES PROTESTING THE GENOCIDE ARE GROWING AND THEY'RE LOUD AND PERSISTENT, BUT STILL RELATIVELY VIEW IN NUMBERS TONIGHT AS OUR CIVIC LEADERS, YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD, TO ANSWER THE CRIES OF THE 2.2 MILLION PALESTINIANS, GRANDPARENTS, MOTHERS, FATHERS, CHILDREN, AND INFANTS WHO ARE SUFFERING AN UNIMAGINABLE LOSS OF LIFE, LIMB, AND PROPERTY. 
          IT IS SUCH A TINY, MINUSCULE ACT, JUST THE ISSUANCE OF A SINGLE PIECE OF PAPER, CALLING FOR AN END TO DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. 
          HOW DIFFICULT CAN THIS BE? WHAT NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES POSSIBLY OUTWEIGH THE MORAL ACT OF SIGNING YOUR NAMES TO A DECLARATION SUPPORTING PEACE, LIFE, AND HUMANITY? I HOPE EACH OF YOU WILL CAREFULLY CONSIDER YOUR ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MS. NEER ANYMORE. 
          NO FURTHER CARDS, MAYOR. 
          ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE? OKAY. 
          SEE YOU NONE. 
          WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 
          [B. REVIEW AND DISCUSS THE AQUATICS MASTER PLAN KICKOFF ]
B, REVIEW AND DISCUSS THE AQUATICS MASTER PLAN KICKOFF. 
          MR. MAGNER, UH, THANK YOU MAYOR, UH, ION COUNCIL, UM, OUR DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND REC, YVONNE ALGOS HERE WITH, UH, SPENCER DOYLE AND CHRIS CONONE. 
          UH, THIS IS A REALLY EXCITING, UM, BRIEFING FOR US AS WE BEGIN TO LAUNCH INTO THE, UH, MASTER PLAN FOR OUR AQUATICS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. 
          UH, WE WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH, UH, KIND OF A SUMMARY OF THAT PROCESS, A A, UH, OUTLOOK, UH, WITH RESPECT TO A TIMELINE AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CONSULTANT TEAM THAT WE'VE PUT TOGETHER TO HELP US, UH, THROUGH THAT. 
          SO, YVONNE, THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR WHOLE TEAM FOR, UM, ALL THE WORK, UH, THAT YOU'VE GONE THROUGH TO GET TO THIS POINT. 
          I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU FOR FURTHER BRIEFING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL FOR HAVING US. 
          WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. 
          UH, JUST TO START OFF, I WANTED TO SHARE THIS PROJECT DOES COVER THE STRATEGIC GOAL OF CONTINUE TO EXPLORE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN RESIDENTS AND ALL STAKEHOLDERS. 
          AND THEN THE CITY COUNCIL TACTIC. 
          THIS IS A MAJOR PLANNING INITIATIVE. 
          THIS WILL BE A SIX MONTH PROCESS, UH, TO COVER THE AQUATIC MASTER PLAN. 
          AND THE PURPOSE OF TONIGHT'S BRIEFING, JUST AS DAWN HAD MENTIONED, IS TO REALLY UPDATE THE COUNCIL ON THE STATUS AND THE LAUNCH OF THIS MASTER PLAN SO YOU'RE AWARE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING. 
          SO OUR OVERVIEW TODAY, WE WILL GO OVER THE PROJECT GOLDS, OUR TEAM OVERVIEW, THE APPROACH TO IT, AND THEN THE TIMELINES AS WELL AS OUR FINAL STEPS. 
          AND SO THESE PROJECT GOALS, THESE ARE ESSENTIALLY THE OUTCOMES THAT WE ARE EXPECTING FROM THIS MASTER PLAN. 
          UM, LONG-TERM STRATEGIC PLAN FOR AQUATIC SERVICES FOR THE RICHARDSON COMMUNITY, ALIGNING SERVICES WITH EXPECTATIONS AND AQUATICS, AND CREATING A GUIDE FOR OUR FUTURE AQUATIC SYSTEM. 
          AND THEN RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE AQUATIC FEATURES, UH, PREFERRED LOCATIONS OF FACILITIES BASED ON CURRENT AND FUTURE DEMOGRAPHICS, UH, CONSIDERING IMPACT OF FUTURE PLANS FOR STAFFING LEVELS, PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, MODERN MECHANICAL STRUCTURES AND OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, TO CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE AQUATIC MASTER PLAN THAT TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION OUR CITIZENS' NEEDS TO ENHANCE RICHARDSON AS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE PROUD TO LIVE, WORK, INVEST, AND ENGAGE IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO AFTER GOING THROUGH THE, UH, PROCESS OF FINDING A, A CONSULTANT, WE LANDED ON KIMLEY HORN AND COUNCILMAN HUN SEKER. 
          WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PARTNERSHIP. 
          UH, KIMLEY HORN IS NATIONALLY KNOWN FOR THEIR MUNICIPAL AQUATIC, UH, FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER PLANNINGS AND MASTER PLANS, AS WELL AS DESIGNERS AND PARK PLANNERS AND ENGINEERS. 
          SO THEY'RE VERY WELL VERSED WITH A VERY LARGE GROUP. 
          AND THEN COUNCILMAN HUNSAKER IS OUR LEADING POOL MECHANIC ENGINEERS IN AQUATIC OPERATIONS, UM, THROUGHOUT 
          [00:10:01]
THE UNITED STATES. 
          SO THEY'RE A VERY REPUTABLE COMPANY. 
          SO OUR LEAD PRINCIPAL WITH COUNCIL, OR WITH, UH, KIMLEY HORN IS AUSTIN POWERS. 
          HE HAS OVER 16 YEARS OF AQUATIC FACILITY PLANNING AND DESIGN EXPERIENCE. 
          AND THESE PROJECTS THAT I'M ABOUT TO LIST, HE ACTUALLY, KIMLEY HORN ACTUALLY WORKED WITH COUNCILMAN HUN SEKER. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE IN THE TWO SLIDES. 
          UM, THEY COMPLETED THE AQUATIC MASTER PLAN WITH THE CITY OF DENTON. 
          THAT WAS A, A RECENT PROJECT. 
          THEY ALSO COMPLETED WITH THE CITY OF, UH, ST. 
          CHARLES MISSOURI, THEIR CITYWIDE AQUATIC FACILITY MASTER PLAN, AND THEN THE CITY OF DALLAS'S AQUATIC FACILITY MASTER PLAN. 
          SO THOSE ARE ALL RECENT PROJECTS THAT THEY'VE WORKED ON, AND AUSTIN HAS WRITTEN MULTIPLE RECENT ARTICLES AND HAVE RECEIVED AWARDS THROUGH THE WATER, UH, WORLD WATER PARK ASSOCIATION AND AQUATICS INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE. 
          NOW, GEORGE DY IS WITH THE COUNCILMAN IN HUNTE GROUP. 
          HE HAS OVER 20 YEARS AQUATIC EXPERIENCE. 
          10 OF THOSE YEARS ARE ALSO WITH MUNICIPAL, UH, AQUATIC OPERATIONS. 
          SO HE'S VERY FAMILIAR WITH GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS. 
          AND THEN AGAIN, HE'S WORKED ON ALL THESE, UH, PLANS THAT I HAD JUST MENTIONED. 
          HE IS ALSO A FREQUENT SPEAKER AT ON AQUATICS AT OUR NATIONAL RECREATION AND PARKS ASSOCIATION, UH, WORLD WATER PARK ASSOCIATION AND ATHLETIC BUSINESS, WHICH ARE THREE OF OUR MAIN LARGEST CONFERENCES FOR OUR INDUSTRY. 
          AND THEN, OF COURSE, CHRIS KAONI AND HIS TEAM WILL BE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM, AS WELL AS SPENCER AND MYSELF FROM A CITY STAFF PERSPECTIVE. 
          SO THIS STUDY IS A FOUR PHASE APPROACH, AND THOSE FOUR PHASES WILL LEAD US INTO THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, THAT DATA THAT'S GATHERED. 
          BUT THE FOUR PHASES INCLUDE OUR DISCOVERY, CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS, OPERATIONAL PLANNING, AND THEN PRIORITIZATION. 
          AND I'LL GO INTO EACH OF THOSE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER. 
          SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DISCOVERY STAGE, THIS IS WHERE A MAJORITY OF OUR DATA WILL COME FROM IN THE DISCOVERY PHASE. 
          THEY WILL, UM, MAP OUT CURRENT CITY FACILITIES ALONG WITH OTHER PROVIDER, UM, OPPORTUNITIES, AND THAT WILL HELP DETERMINE WHAT OUR DISTRIBUTION IS OF AQUATIC SERVICES THROUGHOUT RICHARDSON. 
          IT ALSO WILL ACCESS CURRENT FACILITIES FOR SERVICES, MAINTENANCE CONCERNS, AND POTENTIAL LONGEVITY OF OUR CURRENT FACILITIES. 
          AND THEN IT'S GONNA BENCHMARK OTHER AQUATIC PROVIDERS IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS. 
          AND THIS WILL BE BASICALLY CHECKING SERVICES THAT THEY PROVIDE AND THE COST OF THOSE SERVICES TO DETERMINE WHERE WE FALL WITHIN THOSE. 
          AND THEN DEMOGRAPHICS, THIS IS GONNA BE AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE THEY'RE GONNA COMPILE INFORMATION. 
          OF COURSE, THEY'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO TAKE SOME OF THE INFORMATION FROM OUR CURRENT STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN DONE. 
          SO THE PARKS AND RECREATION, OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN, AS WELL AS OTHER CITY STUDIES, UH, LIKE THE COMPREHENSIVE STUDY THAT WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF. 
          NOW, THEY'LL BE TAKE ABLE TO TAKE THAT INFORMATION AS WELL AS FIND VERY SPECIFIC DATA THAT'S GONNA BE PERTINENT TO THE AQUATIC MASTER PLAN. 
          AND THEN THROUGH THIS PHASE, THERE WILL ALSO BE STAKEHOLDER AND COMMUNITY INPUT MEETINGS, PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE MEETINGS, AND THIS WILL BE A CHANCE FOR US TO GATHER INPUT FROM THE, THE CITIZENS DIRECTLY. 
          THERE WILL BE, UH, MEETINGS WITH CITY COUNCIL AS WELL AS OUR PARKS COMMISSION MEMBERS. 
          AND THEN WE WILL HAVE SPECIFIC STAKEHOLDERS THAT WE WILL VISIT WITH AS WELL. 
          SO WHEN WE'RE CONSIDERING ITEMS FOR DISCOVERY, PART OF THIS IS UNDERSTANDING WHERE SERVICES ARE OFFERED, AS I MENTIONED, THE, BUT THAT WILL HELP ASSIST US IN DETERMINING WHAT GAPS THERE ARE IN THE COMMUNITY AND TO DETERMINE WHERE WE NEED TO FOCUS OUR ENERGIES. 
          THE FUTURE DEMOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS AND GROWTH WILL HELP DETERMINE OUR FUTURE NEEDS AS WELL. 
          AND THEN LOOKING AT ANY GEOGRAPHICAL BARRIERS OR POTENTIAL PHYSICAL BARRIERS THAT COULD IMPACT THE COMMUNITY USING SERVICES OR USING OTHER PROVIDERS. 
          ALL OF THIS INFORMATION WILL BE USED TO HELP US GUIDE WHAT OUR FUTURE PLANS WILL BE. 
          AND THEN FROM THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT SIDE, AS I'D MENTIONED, THERE WILL BE IN-PERSON MEETINGS, UM, THE PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES, BUT THERE'S ALSO GONNA BE AN ONLINE SURVEY THAT WILL TAKE PLACE FROM MAY TO JUNE. 
          AND WITH THIS, UM, OUR STAKEHOLDERS ARE IDENTIFIED ON HERE. 
          WE'LL HAVE THOSE MEETINGS WITH EACH GROUP. 
          ALL OF THIS INFORMATION WILL BE COMPILED AND SORTED, WHICH WILL HELP US DETERMINE WHAT OUR GAPS ARE, AS WELL AS WHAT OUR NEEDS ARE. 
          AND THEN PHASE TWO IS THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN. 
          SO EVERYTHING THAT THEY GATHERED IN PHASE ONE WILL BE, WILL COME TOGETHER TO HELP DETERMINE WHAT PHASE TWO LOOKS LIKE. 
          SO BASED ON INFORMATION GATHERED THROUGH THESE PUBLIC MEETINGS, SURVEYS, 
          [00:15:01]
DISTRIBUTION MAPS, DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION, AS I'D MENTIONED, THE CONSULTANTS GONNA DETERMINE WHAT ARE BEST DESIGNS, UM, WILL BE AND GIVEN BEST DESIGNS ON GIVEN SITE ANALYSIS AS WELL. 
          AND THEN THEY'LL TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THOSE OPERATIONAL ITEMS THAT WE'LL NEED THEM TO CONSIDER BASED ON, UM, STAFFING AND OTHER, OTHER CONCERNS. 
          UM, THIS PHASE WILL ALSO LOOK AT WHETHER OR NOT A RENOVATION OR A NEW FACILITY IS IDEAL FOR EACH LOCATION. 
          SO THE NEXT PHASE IS THE OPERATIONAL PLANNING. 
          BASED ON THE CO CONCEPTIONAL DESIGN, THE CONSULTANT IS GONNA DEVELOP, UM, ESTIMATED EXPENSES FOR BUILDING THESE NEW FACILITIES OR RENOVATING THESE FACILITIES. 
          THEY'LL ALSO PUT TOGETHER WHAT THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE COST WILL BE, AS WELL AS OPERATIONAL COSTS FOR THESE CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS. 
          OF COURSE, THOSE WILL VARY BASED ON WHEN THESE ARE ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTED, BUT WE'LL HAVE A A REALLY SOLID IDEA OF WHAT THOSE EXPENSES WILL BE. 
          THEY'LL ALSO MAKE SUGGESTIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OPTIMIZING THOSE EXPENSES. 
          SO LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN BE MORE EFFICIENT IN OUR DESIGN FEATURES. 
          AND THEN LOOKING AT AREAS OF WHERE WE CAN BE MORE EFFICIENT IN OUR STAFFING OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL. 
          AND THIS, IN THIS PHASE, THEY WILL ALSO DEVELOP OUR ATTENDANCE AND REVENUE PROJECTIONS, AND THEN WORK THROUGH WHAT AN ESTIMATED COST RE RECOVERY PROJECTION WILL BE FOR EACH FACILITY. 
          CONCEPTIONAL DESIGN THAT THEY COME UP WITH. 
          AND I WANTED TO SHARE THIS. 
          THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN ESTIMATION SHEET THAT THEY'LL PUT TOGETHER FOR US. 
          I BELIEVE THIS ONE WAS FROM THE CITY OF DENTON. 
          UM, SO THIS TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION OUR CURRENT EXPENSES, ANY FUTURE COST, UM, PROJECTIONS, AS WELL AS CONSTRUCTION COST AND EXPENSES WITHIN REASON. 
          AND THEN THAT CONTINGENCY FUNDING. 
          AND THIS WILL ASSIST US IN IDENTIFYING WHICH AMENITIES CAN ALSO BE CONSIDERED AS ALTERNATE BID ITEMS VERSUS WHICH ITEMS ARE ESSENTIAL TO THOSE FACILITIES AND, AND THE NEEDS THAT WE HAVE. 
          AND I DO WANNA POINT OUT WITH THIS AS WELL. 
          UM, THEY WILL PROJECT OUT WHAT INFLATION WILL BE. 
          SO WE HOPEFULLY WILL BE PREPARED FOR FUTURE EXPENSES DOWN THE ROAD. 
          SO PRIORITIZATION, THIS IS PHASE FOUR, THIS WILL HELP US DETERMINE WHAT AREAS WE NEED TO FOCUS ON IMMEDIATELY. 
          SO AS THEY GO THROUGH AND DO THOSE SITE ASSESSMENTS OF OUR CURRENT FACILITIES, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY FOR US WHAT ITEMS, UM, ARE A PRIORITY, WHICH FACILITIES NEED TO BE LOOKED AT AND TREATED SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. 
          UM, AND THEN WITH THAT AS WELL, THEY'LL HELP US CITY STAFF DETERMINE WHERE WE NEED TO FOCUS OUR ENERGIES WHEN WE'RE IMPLEMENTING THE MASTER PLAN. 
          THEY'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO HELP US IDENTIFY REALISTIC FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL AS SUGGESTING FUNDING OPPOR OR FUNDING STRATEGIES, UH, THAT WILL ESSENTIALLY BE SHARED IN THIS PLAN. 
          SO WE'LL HAVE BASICALLY A, A BLUEPRINT OF HOW TO MOVE FORWARD ON THIS SIDE OF IT. 
          AND THEN ALL OF THAT INFORMATION IS ROLLED TOGETHER INTO THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. 
          AND THAT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WILL BE PRESENTED, UM, ESSENTIALLY TO CITY STAFF, OUR PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AND TO CITY COUNCIL. 
          AND THAT WOULD BE OUR FINAL STEP IN THIS PROCESS. 
          SO I DO WANNA SHARE WITH YOU THE TIMELINE FOR THIS. 
          MOST STUDIES ARE COMPLETED IN FIVE TO SEVEN MONTHS. 
          UM, GOING THROUGH THE FOUR MILESTONES AND THINGS TO CONSIDER WOULD BE WHEN WE'RE SCHEDULING OUR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS, UH, WHEN WE'RE PRESENTING TO PARKS AND PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION, AND GIVING THEM A BRIEFING ON IT, AS WELL AS WHEN WE'RE COMING BACK TO CITY COUNCIL AND SCHEDULING MEETINGS, WHETHER IT'S INPUT MEETINGS OR ADDITIONAL BRIEFINGS. 
          SO THOSE ITEMS ARE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN THE TIMELINE IS DEVELOPED. 
          AND THIS IS OUR TIMELINE. 
          THEY ARE PROJECTING THAT WE WILL HAVE SIX MONTHS FOR THIS PROJECT. 
          OUR KICKOFF IS ACTUALLY THIS WEEK. 
          SO WE ARE GATHERING DATA TO PRO TO SUPPLY TO OUR CONSULTANT, AND THEY ARE SCHEDULING SITE VISITS, UH, WITH CHRIS'S TEAM. 
          SO AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, BENCHMARKING AND RESEARCH WILL OCCUR THROUGH APRIL, MAY, AND THEN OUR STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS WILL BE EARLY MAY WITH PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS AND THE SURVEY THROUGH MAY AND JUNE. 
          AND THEN THE CO CONCEPTIONAL DESIGN AND PRIORITIZATION PHASE OF THE PROJECT WILL BE JUNE THROUGH AUGUST. 
          AND AS SOON AS THAT'S COMPLETE, WE'LL GO BACK TO THE PUBLIC FOR A SECOND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT TO SHARE THOSE CONCEPTUAL PLANS. 
          AND THEN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER, OUR CONSULTANT WILL BE WORKING ON THE ECONOMIC AND OPERATIONAL IMPACTS. 
          AND THEN IN OCTOBER, THE PLAN IS TO COME BACK TO YOU WITH THE FINAL REPORT. 
          SO, AND AS I MENTIONED, OUR NEXT STEPS ARE OUR CONSULTANTS WILL BE 
          [00:20:01]
WORKING WITH CHRIS'S TEAM STARTING THIS WEEK, AND THEN WE'LL BE COORDINATING SCHEDULED TO SCHEDULE THOSE STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS AND PUBLIC INPUT MEETINGS AS WELL. 
          SO THAT CONCLUDES OUR OVERVIEW OF THE AQUATIC MASTER PLAN. 
          ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, COUNSEL? MR. BARRIOS? THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          EXCUSE ME. 
          THANK YOU, YVONNE. 
          UM, LOOKING AT THE TIMELINE, WILL THERE BE, I SEE SITE VISITS APRIL 1ST, THAT'S WHEN THE CONSULTANTS COME IN AND VISIT ALL OUR LOCATIONS WILL BE THERE BE, OR EVEN IS IT NEEDED TO DO A, UM, SITE VISITS IN THE SUMMER WHEN YOU GUYS ARE OPEN AND KIND OF RUNNING FULL CAPACITY? LIKE IS THERE A BENEFIT TO THAT? IS IT ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT NOT REALLY. 
          WE JUST LOOK AT NUMBERS AT THAT POINT? YEAH, IT'S MORE OF LOOKING AT NUMBERS AT THAT POINT. 
          HOWEVER, BECAUSE THEY WILL BE DOING STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS, UM, AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS, THEY'LL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO SEE OUR POOLS IN ACTION AS WELL. 
          AND THEN WE'RE PULLING DATA FROM THE PAST TWO YEARS THAT WILL INCLUDE REVENUE NUMBERS, UM, ATTENDANCE NUMBERS, STAFFING, ALL OF THE DETAILS THAT THEY NEED. 
          SO THEY'LL GET A FULL PICTURE OF, OF OUR POOL'S OPERATIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHEN THEY DO THE SITE VISITS, IS THAT AM LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, PUMP ROOMS AND EVERYTHING, IT'S KIND OF A FULL INSPECTION FOR LACK OF A BETTER CORRECT. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT IS HELPING TO DETERMINE THE LONGEVITY OF THE POOLS THAT WE HAVE. 
          SO DECIDING WHICH POOLS WE WILL NEED TO TO FOCUS ON FIRST FOR WHETHER IT'S A REBUILD OR, UM, A RENOVATION. 
          SO THEIR SITE VISITS IS WHAT'S GONNA HELP GUIDE US ON HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE THINK THIS POOL IS GONNA LAST, AND IS IT A POOL THAT COULD BE RENOVATED VERSUS REBUILT? COOL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SURE. 
          MS. JUSTICE. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UH, THANK YOU YVAN. 
          IT'S A GREAT PRESENTATION. 
          UH, I'M GLAD TO SEE THERE ARE MULTIPLE POINTS HERE FOR PUBLIC INPUT. 
          UM, MY QUESTION IS, YOU'RE PROBABLY STILL DESIGNING IT, BUT, BUT WHAT DOES THE SORT OF PUSH LOOK LIKE? I FEEL LIKE WE'RE, WE'RE LOSING SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MONTHS TO GET PUBLIC FEEDBACK. 
          WE'RE CUTTING IT OFF KIND OF EARLY IN THE SUMMER. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, AND SO, YOU KNOW, IS THERE A DESIGN PLAN YET, I GUESS, TO SORT OF REALLY PUSH THIS TO PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING TO THE POOLS IN MAY IN JUNE TO, TO GET AS MUCH FEEDBACK AS POSSIBLE? OR ARE YOU STILL WORKING ON THAT? WE ARE STILL WORKING ON IT, BUT WE HAVE WORKED WITH, UM, KEITH CRU FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND HE'S GOT A MAILING LIST THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THROUGH THAT PROCESS OF GETTING INFORMATION OUT. 
          WE'LL ALSO HAVE OUR DATABASE OF ALL THE AQUATIC REGISTRATIONS AND, UH, SEASON PASS HOLDERS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO SHARE INFORMATION WITH. 
          AND THEN THROUGH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNEL, PLUS OF COURSE, THROUGH THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENTS OUTREACH. 
          SO WE'LL UTILIZE ALL OF THOSE SOURCES, UH, BUT THE INTENTION AS WELL AS TO HAVE, UM, POSTERS WITH QR CODES TO THE SURVEY THAT WILL BE OPEN THROUGH MAY AND JUNE AT THE, THE POOLS. 
          AND THEN AGAIN, FOR THE SECONDARY PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, WE'LL HAVE THAT INFORMATION WITH THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS. 
          OKAY. 
          WE'LL, WE'LL ALSO USE THE RICHARDSON TODAY. 
          WE'LL USE THE RE AND REVIEW, I MEAN, SO IT'LL, IT'LL FEEL VERY MUCH LIKE THE PARKS MASTER PLAN. 
          THE A TP. 
          YEAH, THE COMP PLAN. 
          IT'S, IT JUST, IT SEEMS LIKE THE NATURAL FIT HERE IS JUST TO HAVE PEOPLE STATIONED AT OUR POOLS, ASKING QUESTIONS AS PEOPLE COME IN AND OUT. 
          AND SO WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE MISSING JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, I I FULLY TRUST THAT, THAT THE OUTREACH WILL BE FANTASTIC. 
          YOU KNOW, THROUGH ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN MENTIONED. 
          I JUST, UM, I GUESS WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE BEING SUPER INTENTIONAL IN THAT ONE MONTH THAT WE HAVE TO GET AS MUCH FEEDBACK AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. 
          YES. 
          SINCE WE'RE LOSING JULY AND AUGUST, GIVEN THE TIMELINE. 
          SO, BUT YEAH, IT, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE ON TOP OF IT. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CORCORAN. 
          UH, THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. 
          UH, SO THANK YOU FOR PUTTING TOGETHER THIS PRESENTATION FOR US AND FOR LITERALLY, I GETTING THIS TO US THE DAY THAT IT STARTED. 
          THAT'S REALLY, IT'S REALLY NOT. 
          NO, IT'S, I MEAN, I MEAN THAT IN A NICE WAY, RIGHT? IT'S NICE THAT WE'RE GETTING THIS RIGHT ON TIME AND, AND NOT LATE. 
          UM, MY QUESTIONS ARE FOR THE COST, IS COST RECOVERY, WHEN YOU SAY COST RECOVERY, DOES THAT MEAN FEES AND LIKE ENTRY, LIKE COST OF ENTRY? IS THAT WHAT COST RECOVERY IS, OR WHAT DOES THAT ENCOMPASS? IT'S GONNA TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION EVERY REVENUE OPPORTUNITY THAT THAT CONCEPTUAL DESIGN WILL HAVE. 
          SO WHETHER IT'S ADMISSION, MM-HMM. 
          , UH, CLASSES THAT ARE OFFERED RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES, UH, CABANA OPPORTUNITIES IF THERE ARE SUCH A THING, OKAY. 
          FOR THAT LOCATION. 
          SO IT WILL TAKE ALL OF THOSE INTO CONSIDERATION WITH THE STAFFING EXPENSES AND MECHANICAL EXPENSES, UH, UTILITIES, ALL OF THAT. 
          NOW, FOR US, OUR COST RECOVERY MODEL THAT WE ADOPTED AND PRESENTED TO COUNCIL BELIEVE IT WAS IN 2018, THAT INCLUDED DIRECT AND INDIRECT EXPENSES. 
          SO WE HAVE ASKED THE CONSULTANT TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AS WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          SO JUST, I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW WHAT THAT TERM IS. 
          'CAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S GONNA COME UP A LOT. 
          YES. 
          SO COST RECOVERY IS NOT JUST MONEY COMING IN, BUT IT'S ALSO MONEY GOING OUT. 
          CORRECT. 
          IT'S ALL ENCOMPASSING. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN 
          [00:25:01]
MY SECOND QUESTION IS, I REMEMBER, I THINK IT WAS THE PARKS MASTER PLAN, BUT IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE COMP PLAN. 
          THERE, THERE WAS ALREADY SOME PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT RIGHT? ABOUT A LOT OF THESE FACILITIES, POOLS AND POTENTIAL, UH, AQUATIC CENTERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          I MEAN, HOW DO YOU ENVISION RECONCILING SORT OF LIKE THE VENN DIAGRAM OF POTENTIAL, MAYBE NEW THINGS THAT PEOPLE ASK FOR OR WANT WITH THIS AQUATICS MASTER PLAN VERSUS WHAT WE'VE ALREADY IDENTIFIED AND RESIDENTS HAVE ALREADY PRIORITIZED? LIKE, HOW DOES THAT DATA GONNA TALK TO ITSELF AND MERGE? I MEAN, HAVE YOU, WHAT HAVE YOU ENVISIONED THERE? YEAH, SO WITH THE PARKS AND RECREATION, OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN, MM-HMM. 
          , AS WE WENT THROUGH THAT PROCESS, WE REALIZED THIS IS A MUCH BIGGER COMPONENT THAT REALLY NEEDS ITS OWN STANDALONE PIECE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , WHICH IS WHERE THIS COMES INTO PLAY. 
          YEAH. 
          SO WHAT WE'RE ENVISIONING IS AS THEY GO THROUGH AND THEY'RE LOOKING AT ALL THE, THE FUTURE GROWTH THAT RICHARDSON HAS AND THE, THE CHANGE IN DEMOGRAPHICS IN PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOODS, THIS PLAN IS GONNA, HOPEFULLY GAME PLAN IS TO SHOW US WHAT YOUR BEST AMENITIES WILL BE AT EACH LOCATION. 
          SO WHETHER THAT'S A SPLASH PAD, A NEIGHBORHOOD POOL, OR A FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER. 
          SO WE'RE GOING INTO THIS COMPLETELY OPEN-MINDED WITH WHAT THEY PRESENT TO US AND WHAT THOSE NEEDS ARE. 
          BUT IT'S GONNA TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT CAME OUT OF THE, THE PARKS AND RECREATION OPEN SPACE PLAN, AND THEN DO FURTHER AND DEEPER RESEARCH ON IT TO GIVE US A MORE COMPREHENSIVE PACKAGE. 
          OKAY. 
          NO. 
          SO I MEAN, ANYONE WHO'S MAKING DECISIONS OFF OF THIS, LIKE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THEY'RE GONNA ALSO NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT CAME BEFORE CORRECT. 
          TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          YES. 
          UM, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, FINALLY FOR THINGS, SOME OF THE MORE IN DEPTH THINGS, RIGHT? LIKE ECONOMIC AND OPERATIONAL IMPACTS AND, UH, THE COST APPROACHES THAT KIMBERLY HORN IS GONNA CREATE IS ALL THAT, ARE YOU ENVISIONING THAT ALL THAT DATA IS ALSO GONNA BE IN THIS FINAL REPORT THAT'S PRESENTED TO US AS WELL? IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FINAL REPORT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHETHER THERE'S MORE DETAIL IN THE APPENDIX MM-HMM. 
           FOR STAFF AND THEY SUMMARIZE IT, WE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION. 
          OKAY. 
          WOULD THE PUBLIC HAVE ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION TOO? THEY SHOULD, YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. 
          I JUST, YOU KNOW, I, I ENVISION IF, WELL, I'M INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT THE, THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE AND THE NUMBERS BEHIND ALL THE FACILITIES WE HAVE. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND THE IMPACTS THAT'S GONNA HAVE. 
          UM, THAT'LL BE REALLY SOMETHING THAT'S, IT'S GONNA BE A REALLY INTERESTING DISCUSSION. 
          YES. 
          AND AS WE GET FURTHER THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND MORE MEETINGS WITH OUR CONSULTANT, WE'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE A CLEARER PICTURE OF WHAT THAT FINAL PRODUCT WILL LOOK LIKE. 
          BUT FROM EVERYTHING THAT I'VE UNDERSTOOD THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE WILL HAVE THAT INFORMATION. 
          JOE, LET ME ASK YOU IF I'M GONNA TAKE TWO SECONDS MORE. 
          'CAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COST RECOVERY. 
          I DON'T WANNA GIVE ANYBODY THE IMPRESSION THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FULL COST RECOVERY. 
          CORRECT. 
          SO, TAKE TWO SECOND. 
          WELL, 'CAUSE WE, WE HAVEN'T SAID THAT YET, BUT TAKE TWO SECONDS AND JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BACK IN 18 WHEN WE ADOPTED THE COST RECOVERY, KIND OF THE RANGE OF RECOVERY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VERSUS, UH, SIGNIFICANT OR EVEN FULL RECOVERY. 
          SO WITH OUR COST RECOVERY PLAN PHILOSOPHY, THERE ARE BENCHMARKS FOR EVERYTHING. 
          SO THINGS LIKE A SWIM LESSON PROGRAM, BECAUSE WE FEEL LIKE SWIM LESSONS ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND FOR THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN, THAT FALLS INTO A LOWER TIER. 
          SO THAT, I BELIEVE WAS A 30 TO 40% COST RECOVERY, WHICH MEANS THE PROGRAM'S BEING SUBSIDIZED AS IT GETS UP INTO SOMETHING THAT'S MORE OF A COMPETITIVE TEAM OR MORE AN INDIVIDUAL NEED. 
          UM, SO I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT'S TRULY BENEFITING IT FROM IT. 
          SO MAYBE A HIGHER LEVEL SWIM LESSON, OR LIKE I SAID, THE COMPETITIVE PROGRAM OR EVEN A RENTAL THAT IS A HIGHER COST RECOVERY. 
          AND THOSE RANGE ANYWHERE FROM 75 TO 95%. 
          UM, AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TO THINGS LIKE CONCESSIONS, WHETHER IT'S ICE CREAM OR, UM, THE DIAPERS OR SWIM GOGGLES, THOSE ARE GONNA BE AT A HUNDRED AND 110% COST RECOVERY. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO BASED ON WHAT THE NEED AND THE, THE SERVICE THAT IT HAS DETERMINES WHAT THAT COST RECOVERY RATE WILL BE. 
          AND AS A COMMUNITY, WE FELT THAT OUR SWIM LESSONS, OUR PUBLIC, UM, ADMISSION FOR THE POOLS THAT THOSE NEEDED TO BE AT A LOWER LEVEL BECAUSE IT'S SERVING SUCH A GREAT NEED FOR OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND THEN AGAIN, AS WE GET TO MORE INDIVIDUALIZED NEEDS THAT COST RECOVERY GOES UP. 
          SO, SO THEY'RE GONNA TAKE ALL OF THAT INTO CONSIDERATION MM-HMM. 
           AND IT, IT'S GONNA AVERAGE OUT. 
          SO BASED ON HOW MANY PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED AT THAT POOL, OR HOW MUCH TIME IS JUST OPEN SWIM TIME WILL DETERMINE THE PERCENTAGE OF TIME USED FOR DEVELOPING THAT COST RECOVERY, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          I THINK SO. 
          OKAY. 
          I I WAS GONNA ASK, I MEAN, WOULD IT BE THE 2018 DOCUMENT? I MEAN, IT'S SOMETHING THAT I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE EVER LOOKED AT BEFORE. 
          WOULD THAT BE BETWEEN NOW AND OCTOBER? WOULD THAT BE A GOOD RESOURCE FOR US ON CITY COUNCIL TO LOOK AT AND, AND UNDERSTAND KIND OF WHERE SOME OF THIS IS COMING FROM? OR Y'ALL'S RECOMMENDATION IS THAT NOT NO, NO. 
          I, THAT'D BE FINE. 
          AS A MATTER OF FACT, UH, 
          [00:30:01]
AS PART OF OUR, OUR BUDGET PREPARATION, WE CAN, UH, HAVE YVONNE COME BACK AND WE CAN DO A REFRESH OF, UH, THE, THE COST. 
          AND REALLY, I, I CONGRATULATE LORI AND YVONNE BACK, BACK IN THE DAY. 
          I MEAN, THEY WERE THE ONES THAT REALLY KIND OF CHAMPIONED THIS, UH, FORMALIZING COST RECOVERY, UH, FORMALIZING A COST RECOVERY STRATEGY. 
          SO I THINK, UH, IT, IT WOULD ACTUALLY MAKE GREAT SENSE. 
          JOE, THANK YOU FOR THAT SUGGESTION. 
          IT WOULD MAKE GREAT SENSE EARLY, UM, IN MAY OR SO FOR US TO COME BACK AND DO A REFRESH ON THAT. 
          UM, NOT ONLY FOR CONTEXT, UM, FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS PROCESS, BUT EVEN JUST FOR BUDGET. 
          YES. 
          YEAH. 
          SO WE HAPPY, NORMALLY I WOULDN'T ASK FOR A LOT MORE WORK, BUT GIVEN THAT WE HAVE UNTIL OCTOBER TO, TO DO IT, RIGHT, SURE. 
          OR, OR MAY OR WHENEVER IT VERY MUCH MAKES SENSE. 
          IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE TIME TO, TO LOOK OVER THAT. 
          YEP. 
          MR. DORIAN, THANK YOU MAYOR YVONNE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S A GREAT PRESENTATION. 
          I JUST WANTED TO, UH, TAG ONTO A COUPLE THINGS, UH, FROM THE DESIGN STANDPOINT THAT, UM, COUNCILMAN JUSTICE AND CORCORAN, UH, BROUGHT UP DURING THE, DURING THE KICKOFF MEETINGS, WILL WE HAVE ANY, NOT NECESSARILY INSPIRATIONAL IMAGES, BUT MAYBE SOME ORIGINAL DATA THAT WHEN WE START GATHERING THIS INFORMATION, THE STAKEHOLDERS CAN GET A GENERAL IDEA OF THINGS THAT THEY CAN CONTRIBUTE? I KNOW I'VE LEARNED OVER TIME THAT SOMETIMES WE ASSUME THE PUBLIC KNOWS A LOT MORE ABOUT WHAT IS AVAILABLE AND WHAT THEY NEED. 
          AND SOMETIMES JUST HAVING SOME VISUALS, THEY'LL ALLOW THEM TO SAY, OH, LET'S LOOK AT THESE ITEMS. OR HOW CAN WE BETTER THIS? OR, OR HOW WE CAN BE PERFECTED, OR, OR, THESE ARE THINGS THAT I'M AWARE OF THAT I WOULD LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, ADD TO THE, THE BUCKET LIST. 
          AND I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S, DURING THESE, UH, STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS, IS THERE A WAY TO, UM, PROVIDE SOME DATA OR SOME INFORMATION SO THEY HAVE SOMETHING JUST BESIDES SAY, WHAT DO YOU WANT? YOU JUST WRITE IT ON THE BOARD. 
          RIGHT. 
          I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK OF WAYS TO MAKE IT EASY. 
          'CAUSE SOMETIMES I ALSO THINK THAT I THINK, OH, PEOPLE JUST, I JUST, EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW WHAT I KNOW. 
          AND THEN MAYBE IT'S JUST EASIER FOR THEM TO GO, YEAH, THIS IS A REALLY COOL PIECE AND I WOULD LIKE TO IMPLEMENT THAT. 
          I JUST WONDER IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS CONSIDERED, OR IT WILL DEFINITELY BE CONSIDERED. 
          AND OF COURSE, WE'RE NOT AT THAT PHASE THAT THOSE, UM, BOARDS ARE CREATED YET. 
          BUT THEY WILL HAVE VISUALS OF THIS IS WHAT A, A SPLASH PAD COULD LOOK LIKE FROM SMALL, MEDIUM TO LARGE. 
          AND THEN ANOTHER THING WITH THE ONLINE SURVEY, THAT IS GONNA BE A CUSTOMIZABLE SURVEY, BUT WITH THE SURVEY, THEY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AS THE PUBLIC, AS YOU'RE FILLING OUT THE SURVEY, YOU'LL BE GIVEN POINTS THAT YOU CAN SPEND AND YOU'LL HAVE VISUAL PICTURES TO LOOK AT TO DETERMINE WHAT DO I REALLY WANT AND WHAT'S AN ESSENTIAL NEED BASED ON MY BUDGET OF POINTS. 
          UM, SO FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE ONLINE SURVEY AND THE IN-PERSON MEETINGS, WE WILL DEFINITELY HAVE VISUAL, UH, FEEDBACK AND CONCEPTUAL IDEAS THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT AND DETERMINE WHAT THEY REALLY LIKE AND WHAT THEY WOULD WANT IN OUR FACILITIES. 
          GREAT. 
          UM, WELL, THAT ALSO INCLUDE LIKE, WELL, YOU MENTIONED SUGGESTIONS. 
          LIKE, LET'S JUST SAY RIGHT NOW SUSTAINABILITY IS A, A BIG THING IN, IN THE WORLD, UM, ECO-FRIENDLY TYPE ENVIRONMENTS. 
          WILL THERE BE SUGGESTIONS ON THE INSPIRATION BOARDS, WE'LL CALL IT, UM, THAT WILL PROVIDE DATA LIKE THAT? BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT CONSIDER THAT AS AN OPTION. 
          YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES A SUSTAINABLE, WHAT DOES SUSTAINABILITY LOOK LIKE? I MEAN, WHAT VISUAL DO I HAVE THAT WOULD CREATE THAT PATH OF SUSTAINABILITY? AND THAT, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING A FULL AMOUNT OF FEEDBACK THAT HELPS THE CITY GROW. 
          'CAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T DO EVERY DAY AND WE WANT TO, YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE AS MUCH AS WE CAN IN WHAT'S GONNA LIVE FOR, YOU KNOW, FIVE, 10 PLUS YEARS. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE ALREADY ASKED THEM TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE MECHANICAL OPERATIONAL SIDE, THAT EQUIPMENT CAN GO OBSOLETE SO QUICK. 
          AND FOR US, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO PUT SOMETHING IN THAT'S NOT TESTED AND TRUE AND FROM A COMPANY THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. 
          BECAUSE WHAT WE'VE FOUND IS WE'LL BE REPLACING IT RATHER QUICKLY. 
          AND THAT'S NOT IDEAL IN ANY SITUATION. 
          SO WE'VE ALREADY SPOKE TO THEM ABOUT THAT, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY ASK THEM AS PART OF OUR PUBLIC OUTREACH MEETINGS TO INCLUDE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE POTENTIAL PLAY EQUIPMENT AND AMENITIES THAT WILL GO IN. 
          UM, SO WE WILL ADD THAT TO OUR DISCUSSION POINTS. 
          OKAY. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SURE. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR PRO TEAM. 
          THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. 
          AND THANK YOU AGAIN, UH, FOR WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. 
          AND, UH, THE PROJECT APPROACH IS, THE STUDY APPROACH IS GREAT. 
          UH, HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE TIMELINE A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, SEVEN MONTHS SCHEDULE, THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE FASTER THAN THAT BECAUSE THE WAY YOU HAVE IT, IT IS GOING TO BE SEVEN MONTHS AT LEAST. 
          [00:35:01]
UH, NOW DURING THE, YOU KNOW, THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN THAT'S GOING TO BE DONE, IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, THEN IT'S GOING TO BE DONE BY MID OR THIRD WEEK OF AUGUST MAYBE, UH, TO HAVE THE SECOND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT SOMETIME IN AUGUST. 
          SO THE SECOND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, I WOULD ASSUME THAT IT'S GONNA BE DONE AFTER THE CONCEPTUAL CONCEPTUAL DESIGN. 
          CORRECT. 
          UH, SO THAT PUBLIC CAN SEE WHAT HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND THEN THEY, THEY CAN MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR SOMETHING. 
          SO THAT NEED TO HAPPEN LAST WEEK OF AUGUST, OR MAYBE SO JUNE THROUGH AUGUST. 
          AND AS SOON AS IT'S COMPLETE, WE'VE ALREADY LET THEM KNOW THAT OUR POOLS START TO CLOSE DOWN IN AUGUST. 
          AND WE WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST HAVE THAT IN PUBLIC PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PIECE AT THE POOL SO PEOPLE CAN SEE THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS AND HAVE THAT QR CODE, UM, BY MID-AUGUST. 
          SO WE'LL BE WORKING VERY DILIGENTLY TO MEET THAT. 
          UM, BUT THEN WE ALSO PLAN ON HAVING AN OPEN HOUSE FORUM TYPE MEETING WHERE OUR STAFF WILL RUN THAT AND BE ABLE TO SHOW THOSE CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS. 
          AND IN THAT, IF WE MISS A BULK OF THE POOLS, WE WILL STILL BE ABLE TO INVITE THEM THROUGH OUR DATABASE THAT WE HAVE WITH ALL OF OUR SWIM LESSONS, OUR RENTALS, AND OUR, UM, SEASON PASS HOLDERS. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S GOOD. 
          SO THEN YOU'LL HAVE TIME IN SEPTEMBER TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT? CORRECT. 
          UH, SO YOU THINK THAT'S PRACTICAL, PRETTY MUCH LIKE DOABLE? UH, THE CONSULTANTS FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE WITH IT. 
          AND AFTER GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS, KNOWING THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME CITIES THAT THEY'VE COMPLETED IN FIVE MONTHS THAT HAVE BEEN OUR SIZE OR SLIGHTLY BIGGER, UM, WE FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO COME TO YOU IN OCTOBER WITH THE FINAL REPORT. 
          OKAY. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          AND JUST ONE COMMENT THAT I KNOW THAT YOU'RE GONNA PROBABLY DO THAT ANYWAY, UH, IS THAT WHENEVER YOU SHOW SOME EXAMPLE AND OTHER THINGS, PICTURES, IF YOU USE A SIMILAR SAME SCALE FOR ALTERNATE OTHER OPTIONS, SO, SO, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND COMPARE SOMETIMES YOU KNOW, THE PICTURES. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, UNINTENTIONALLY TAKING SOME PICTURES IS MISLEADING SOMETIMES. 
          UH, SO IF YOU HAVE THE SAME SCALE, SAME ANGLE, YOU KNOW, THE LOOK THE WAY IT IS NEED TO BE LOOKED, THEN IT, IT'S EASY TO COMPARE. 
          UH, JUST I'M SURE YOU'RE GONNA DO THAT ANYWAY, SO I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT. 
          ANYWAY, WE WILL MAKE SURE WE'RE VERY WA FULL WITH THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MR. HUTCHIN RUNNER. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          YVONNE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS PRESENTATION. 
          I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED. 
          I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT I'M CRYSTAL CLEAR ON THIS. 
          ARE WE LOOKING STRICTLY AT THE REVIEW OF EXISTING FACILITIES AND STATUS OF THEM AND WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IN REGARDS TO EXISTING FACILITIES? OR WILL THIS ALSO INCLUDE BASICALLY A REVIEW OF THE ENTIRE CITY AND NOT SAYING THAT WE WOULD OR WOULD NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO DO IT, BUT THAT THERE WOULD BE RECOMMENDATIONS TO CONSIDER ADDITIONS AND OR SUBTRACTIONS FROM OUR CURRENT AQUATIC, I'LL SAY INVENTORY, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WAY TO PUT IT. 
          YOU ARE, I'M MAKING SENSE WHAT I'M, WHAT I'M ASKING. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. 
          IT WILL BE A REVIEW OF THE ENTIRE CITY AND LOOKING AT THE FIVE LOCATIONS THAT WE HAVE. 
          DO THOSE FIVE LOCATIONS MEET THE, THE CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS? THIS CONSULTANT MIGHT COME BACK AND SAY, A LOCATION NEEDS TO BE CLOSED, HOWEVER WE THINK YOU NEED TO, TO BUILD A NEW AND A DIFFERENT PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED WITH CITY MANAGEMENT OF, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A, A POTENTIAL POSSIBILITY AND WE WANT TO BE OPEN TO WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY ON THAT. 
          UM, I CAN'T STAND HERE AND PREDICT WHAT THAT MIGHT BE, BUT I KNOW THERE'S DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY OF IT. 
          I MEAN, OUR FOLDS ARE OLDER. 
          YEAH. 
          ALL MEANS. 
          YEAH, KEN, I WAS JUST GONNA ADD, THAT'S WHY, I MEAN, I, I AGREE WITH THE COUNCIL. 
          IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO, TO USE THAT WINDOW OF THE SUMMER, BUT I'M AS INTERESTED IN WHAT NON-USERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT OUR AQUATIC SYSTEM RIGHT NOW. 
          THERE MAY BE A VERY GOOD REASON WHY THEY'RE NOT USING IT. 
          MAYBE LOCATION AND MAYBE DISTANCE. 
          AND SO, SO TO YOUR POINT, I THINK BY MAKING SURE THAT WE GET A REALLY, UM, DIVERSE CROSS SECTION OF OUR POPULATION TO PARTICIPATE THROUGH THINGS OTHER THAN JUST BEING AT THE POOLS, THE ONLINE SURVEYS, THE OPEN HOUSES THAT WILL, UM, ALLOW US TO REALLY ASSESS DO THE FIVE LOCATIONS MAKE SENSE? DO THE FACILITIES AT THE FIVE LOCATIONS STILL MAKE SENSE? AND WHAT ARE WE LACKING? AND, AND I GUESS I'M JUST, I'LL I'LL SAY THIS, WOULD WE CONSIDER SOME TYPE OF PUBLIC INPUT AT THE 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION? 'CAUSE THAT'S OUT AT BRECKENRIDGE ON, ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN? SURE. 
          WE DEFINITELY COULD. 
          THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT OUR STAFF WOULD HAVE TO LEAD. 
          UM, BUT WE DEFINITELY COULD HAVE POTENTIAL FOR THE SURVEY. 
          SO WE 
          [00:40:01]
CAN TALK TO THE CONSULTANT ABOUT KEEPING THE SURVEY OPEN A LITTLE BIT LONGER, UH, DURING THAT PERIOD. 
          SO YEAH, WE'LL ADD THAT TO OUR LIST. 
          OKAY. 
          WE COULD HAVE A STATION THAT WOULD, THAT THAT COULD, SOMEONE COULD BE THERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. 
          AND, AND AGAIN, MOST PEOPLE, IF THEY DON'T HAVE A PHONE, WE CAN GIVE 'EM A HARD COPY. 
          MOST PEOPLE COULD USE THE QR CODE AND THEN FILL IT OUT WHILE THEY'RE WAITING FOR THE FIREWORKS IF THEY WANTED TO. 
          YEAH, THAT, THAT'S OF WHAT I WAS THINKING, BECAUSE I THINK, YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T DISAGREE THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO CATCH AND GET THE INPUT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY USING THE POOLS, BUT I THINK IT'S EQUALLY TO WHY AREN'T THEY USING THE, THE, I I WON'T SAY POOLS, LEMME SAY AQUATIC SINNERS. 
          THAT'S PROBABLY A BETTER TERM. 
          UM, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE I THINK THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'VE HEARD OVER THE EARLY, I'VE HEARD OVER THE YEARS, WELL, HOW COME WE DON'T HAVE ONE WHEREVER. 
          AND, AND SO THAT'S WHY I WANNA MAKE SURE WHEN, 'CAUSE I WAS HEARING KIND OF A LITTLE BIT, THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. 
          'CAUSE I WAS KIND OF HEARING A LITTLE BIT OF, OF, OF WHAT I THOUGHT WAS GONNA BE ALL INCLUSIVE, BUT I WASN'T QUITE SURE. 
          SO THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. 
          SO YEAH, I THINK IT'D BE GREAT IF WE COULD CAPTURE THAT AT THE, AT THE 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS. 
          I THINK IT'D BE GREAT. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NO MORE COMMENTS THAN YVONNE, CHRIS SPENCER. 
          THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. 
          [C. REVIEW AND DISCUSS THE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN AND WATER RESOURCE AND  EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN]
WE'LL NOW GO TO ITEM C, REVIEW AND DISCUSS THE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN AND WATER RESOURCE AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          MR. MAGNER. 
          UH, THANKS, MAYOR. 
          MAYOR COUNCIL. 
          UM, ERIC ROBESON, OUR DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES, IS GONNA TAKE THE, UM, PODIUM HERE. 
          LET ME JUST, UH, KIND OF GO BACK A LITTLE BIT IN, UH, CONTEXT, UM, AND PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT. 
          I'LL BRING YOU BACK TO THE 33 DECADE, 30 YEAR PROCESS OF, UH, THE NOR TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT PERMITTING, UH, WHAT'S NOW CALLED THE BODAR CREEK RESERVOIR. 
          UM, AS PART OF THAT FINAL NEGOTIATION BACK IN LATE, UH, 2010 OR SO, ONE OF THE FINAL COMPONENTS THAT, UM, UH, TCEQ REQUIRED TO, UH, GET THE PERMIT FINALLY OVER THE, OVER THE GOLD LINE WAS THAT, UH, THESE TWO PLANS NOT ONLY BE ADOPTED BY THE NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT, BUT BY ALL OF THEIR MEMBER CITIES AND CUSTOMER CITIES. 
          AND THE IDEA WAS, UM, BEFORE THEY, UH, WERE GOING TO, UH, REALLY AUTHORIZE, UH, NEW WATER RIGHTS, WHICH WERE THE FIRST TO BE AUTHORIZED IN OVER 50 YEARS IN TEXAS, THEY WANTED TO REALLY MAKE SURE THERE WAS GONNA BE A, A DEDICATION AND, UM, AND WATER CONSERVATION WOULD BE HONORED THAT WE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE WATER WE HAVE BEFORE THEY GRANTED NEW RIGHTS. 
          AND SO, UH, THE FIRST, UM, UH, PLAN FOR RICHARDSON, UH, WAS BACK IN 14 AND THEN AGAIN IN 19 AS IT'S REQUIRED TO BE UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS. 
          WHAT WE HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT IS THE CONTINUED EVOLUTION OF THAT. 
          BOTH OF THOSE PLANS NOW BEING PROPOSED TO BE ONE PLAN. 
          UM, MUCH OF WHAT YOU'LL SEE, UM, WILL BE THE CONTINUATION OF SOME REALLY STRONG, UH, REQUIREMENTS REALLY, UM, FROM THE ORIGINAL PLAN BACK IN 14. 
          BUT UNDER THE CONSERVATION PLAN, WHICH IS NON DROUGHT TIMES, WE HAVE A HANDFUL OF ITEMS THAT THE DISTRICT, UH, DID INCLUDE IN THEIR MODEL PLAN THAT WE WANT TO VISIT WITH YOU ABOUT BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE NEW FROM THE 2019 PLAN. 
          UM, IN THE WATER, IN THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN, THERE ARE THREE ITEMS THAT WE FEEL MAKE A LOT OF SENSE, BUT AGAIN, DON'T WANNA BE PRESUMPTUOUS AND JUST PUT THAT INTO THE PLAN. 
          WE WANNA HAVE, UH, POSE THOSE THREE QUESTIONS TO YOU AND, AND GET YOUR FEEDBACK. 
          AND SO, UH, WHAT YOU'LL SEE HERE, UM, BECAUSE OF THAT REQUIREMENT, UM, FROM THE PERMITTING, PERMITTING OF THE RESERVOIR, UM, PROBABLY 90% OF THIS PLAN AND ALL OF THE MEMBER CITIES AND ALL THE CUSTOMER CITIES IS THE SAME. 
          AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FROM A REGIONAL STANDPOINT THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS TWICE A WEEK. 
          WATERING IS, IS THE STANDARD. 
          WHEN, WHEN, WHEN NON DROUGHT TIMES THAT EVERYBODY FOLLOWS THE SAME HOURS. 
          AND SO THERE'S A REAL IMPORTANCE TO, UH, THE REGIONALISM, UH, AND IT'S THE FIVE LARGE, UH, WATER DISTRICTS HERE IN NORTH TEXAS PARTICIPATING IN THAT. 
          BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LITTLE, UH, LOCAL ITEMS THAT WE'D LIKE TO VISIT WITH YOU ABOUT. 
          SO ERIC AND HIS TEAM HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB OF, UM, OF PACKAGING THIS. 
          AND SO, UM, ERIC, LET ME TURN IT OVER TO YOU AND, UM, AT THE APPROPRIATE SLIDES, WE'LL PAUSE, WE'LL TAKE YOUR FEEDBACK. 
          UM, WE WILL, WE'LL GATHER SOME DIRECTION AND THEN, UM, WE CAN MOVE FORWARD FROM THERE. 
          THANK YOU, MR. MAGNER. 
          MAYOR CITY COUNCIL, APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT ON THE WATER CONSERVATION AND WATER RESOURCE AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANS. 
          UM, TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE THE, UH, CITY COUNCIL'S STRATEGIC GOALS TO VALUE, PROTECT AND CREATE A POSITIVE RETURN ON CITY RESIDENT AND OTHER STAKEHOLDER INVESTMENTS IN THE CITY, UM, AS WELL AS THE TACTIC TO DISCUSS ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES. 
          A LITTLE INTRODUCTION AS DON KIND OF TOUCHED ON SOME OF THIS, OUR CURRENT WATER CONSERVATION WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN WAS ADOPTED IN 2019. 
          UM, THE TCQ REQUIRES THESE PLANS TO BE UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS. 
          UM, IN UPDATING THESE PLANS AND THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT, WE COORDINATE WITH, UH, NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT AND OTHER MEN MEMBER CITIES TO DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          UM, AND AS MR. MAGNER, UH, UH, NOTED, A LOT OF THESE ARE VERY SIMILAR PLANS, BUT THEY MAY SLIGHTLY VARY BASED JUST ON LOCAL CONSIDERATIONS. 
          UH, WE WILL GO THROUGH SOME OF THE COMPARISONS OF THE 2019 AND 24 PLANS, 
          [00:45:01]
UM, SHOW YOU WHAT'S THE SAME AND, AND AS, AS MR. MAGNAR HAD MENTIONED, MAYBE GET SOME INPUT ON THINGS THAT WE MIGHT CONSIDER THAT TO CHANGE TO THE 2024 PLAN. 
          UH, INCLUDING RESTRICTIONS. 
          I'LL GO OVER GALLONS PER CAPITA PER DAY, UM, THAT REQUIREMENT THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE PLAN AND KIND OF DISCUSS THAT A LITTLE BIT WITH YOU. 
          UM, AND THEN THE DROUGHT CONSERVATION TRIGGERS, UM, COMPARISON BETWEEN THE 19 AND 24 PLANS. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, UH, STOP DOWN AND GET SOME COUNCIL REVIEW AND FEEDBACK AS WE GET TO THOSE SLIDES. 
          SO THE PURPOSE OF THE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN IS TO REDUCE THE LOSS AND WASTE OF WATER, UH, TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY OF BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR WATER USE. 
          AND TO MAXIMIZE, UM, REALLY AND PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE AND WATER SUPPLIES THAT WE HAVE. 
          AND THEN USE THESE PLANS TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS, UH, TO SUPPORT WATER CONSERVATION. 
          SOME OF THE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE THAT ARE USED WHEN WE, WHEN WE DEVELOP THESE PLANS AND UPDATE THESE PLANS. 
          UM, TCQ DEVELOPS GUIDELINES THAT REQUIRE, YOU KNOW, ALLOWS FOR MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS THAT HAVE TO GOVERN IN THESE CONSERVATION PLANS. 
          UH, WE INCORPORATE STRATEGIES AND MEASURES FROM THE 2024 NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT PLAN. 
          UM, THE TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD AS WELL AS TCQ PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON HOW YOU CAN CALCULATE AND METHODOLOGY ON HOW CERTAIN TYPES OF WATER USE ARE DEFINED, UH, FOR REPORTS AND TO INCLUDE IN THE PLANS. 
          AND THEN THE NORTH TEXAS REGIONAL LANDSCAPE INITIATIVE, WHICH IS SEVERAL LARGE WATER PURVEYORS WITHIN THE REGION, UH, PROVIDE A RESOURCE FOR BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE WHEN IT COMES TO WATER CONSERVATION. 
          SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE REGULAR RETIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE THAT WE USE WHEN WE'RE DEVELOPING AND UPDATING THESE PLANS. 
          THE 20 19, 20 24 KIND OF RESTRICTIONS. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE, A LOT OF THESE, UH, RESTRICTIONS THAT WE HAVE ARE KIND OF THE NEW NORMAL, IF YOU WILL, TWICE A WEEK WATERING. 
          IT'S IN THE 19 PLAN. 
          IT'S ALSO INCLUDED IN THE 24 PLAN. 
          UM, THE HOURLY RESTRICTIONS DURING THE, THE APRIL 1ST TO OCTOBER 31ST. 
          UM, SO TODAY ACTUALLY KICKS OFF THE WATER, UH, HOURLY RESTRICTIONS. 
          YOU CAN'T WATER BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 10:00 AM AND 6:00 PM UM, NOW UNTIL OCTOBER 31ST. 
          UH, CAN'T, CAN'T WATER WHEN OUTDOOR, WHEN DURING PRECIPITATION OR DURING FREEZING EVENTS. 
          UH, WE MAKE SURE THAT THAT POORLY MAINTAINED SPRING THROUGH SYSTEMS ARE PROHIBITED. 
          UH, WE HAVE OUR TIERED WATER CONSERVATION PRICING, SO LIKE OUR TIERED RATING, UH, BASED ON THE WATER USAGE, THE CONSUMPTION, YOUR PER THOUSAND GALLON RATE WILL GO UP THE MORE WATER THAT YOU USE. 
          UM, AND JUST OTHER, OTHER REQUIREMENTS. 
          AGAIN, ALL THESE WERE IN THE 2019 PLAN. 
          THEY'RE AGAIN GOING TO BE IN THE 2024 PLAN. 
          AND SO HERE'S ONE OF THE SLIDES WE CAN STOP DOWN AND TALK ABOUT. 
          THESE ARE, THESE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE PROVIDED, UM, THAT WERE NOT NECESSARILY INCLUDED IN THE 2019 PLAN, UM, BUT CERTAINLY COULD BE CONSIDERED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE 2024 PLAN. 
          UM, IT'S OVER SEEDING, SODDING, SPRINGING BROADCASTING, OR PLUGGING OF COOL SEASON GRASSES. 
          I WANNA MAKE SURE I PULL UP, POINT OUT THE COOL SEASON GRASSES, AND YOU'LL KNOW WHY. 
          AS WE GET INTO THE, THE, THE NEXT PLAN ABOUT DROUGHT CONTINUE. 
          THERE'S A SIMILAR RESTRICTION THAT WE'RE GONNA LOOK FOR SOME FEEDBACK ON, BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE YOU POINT OUT THE DIFFERENCES. 
          THIS WOULD BE YOUR COOL SEASON GRASSES AND WOULD NOT ALLOW FOR COOL SEASON GRASS WATERING. 
          UM, AS FAR AS OUR NORMAL CONSERVATION PLAN, UM, ANOTHER CONSIDERATION WOULD BE, UH, NOT ALLOWING THE USE OF POTABLE WATER TO REFILL OR FILL ANY RESIDENTIAL AMENITIES, UM, OR MANMADE NATURAL PONDS. 
          THAT'S DEFINED AS A, A BODY OF WATER, A SURFACE AREA OF 500 SQUARE FEET OR MORE. 
          UM, THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE RECREATIONAL SWIMMING POOLS. 
          SO IF SOMEBODY HAS A RESIDENTIAL AMENITY THAT REQUIRES WATER TO BE REFILLED, WHERE THAT COULD BE A COI POND OR AN ORNAMENTAL, UH, LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE, UM, CURRENTLY IN THE 2019 PLAN, THEY'RE NOT RESTRICTED TO DO SO, BUT THAT'S A CONSIDERATION FOR THE 2024 PLAN. 
          AGAIN, THIS IS JUST UNDER NORMAL, UH, CONSERVATION EFFORTS, NO DROUGHT, NE DROUGHT AREAS. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, JUST HOTELS, MOTELS, UH, RIGHT NOW WE DON'T REQUIRE THEM TO OFFER, UH, LINEN REUSE WATER CONSERVATION OPTIONS. 
          UM, SOMETHING TO CONSIDER FOR THE 2024 PLAN. 
          UM, AND THEN THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON OUTREACH, UH, TO RESTAURANTS IF THEY NEED CONSERVATION EFFORTS. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, TO NOT PROVIDE DRINKING WATER AT, AT FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS UNLESS THE RE THE CUSTOMER REQUESTS WATER. 
          UM, CURRENTLY THAT'S NOT IN OUR 19 PLAN, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST A CONSIDERATION. 
          IS THAT SOMETHING WE WANT TO PUT IN THE ORDINANCE IN THE 2024 PLAN? UM, SO I'LL KIND OF PAUSE FOR A MOMENT. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE SPECIFIC THINGS OR HAVE ANY FEEDBACK? THANK YOU. 
          I I JUST WANNA MAKE A COUPLE COMMENTS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, SOME RESTAURANTS ARE ACTUALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF NOT SERVING, UM, ANY WATER AT THE MOMENT. 
          YOU DO HAVE TO ASK FOR IT. 
          I, I, I KINDA LIKE THAT APPROACH REALLY. 
          I MEAN, YES, WE ALL, WE'VE ALL GOTTEN USED TO HAVING A GLASS OF, OF WATER BROUGHT TO THE TABLE, BUT I DO LIKE THAT THE FACT THAT, UH, CREATING THE CONSERVATION THERE WOULD HELP. 
          AND THEN ON THE WATER REFILL, LIKE IF SOMEONE HAS A POND OR LIKE A WATER FEATURE, UM, ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT THEY CAN OR CANNOT FILL THAT UP TO KEEP IT GOING? OR IT JUST MAYBE CONSIDERED PLUMBING IT, YOU KNOW, ADDING IT INTO LIKE MAYBE THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM OR A AUTO FILLER, YOU KNOW, DEVICE? YEAH, MY 
          [00:50:01]
INTERPRETATION OF THE RECOMMENDATION IS ANYTHING THAT'S 500 SQUARE FEET OR MORE THAT REQUIRES POTABLE WATER TO REFILL IT, IT WOULD BE PROHIBITED UNDER THE CONSERVATION PLAN AS WRITTEN THIS WAY IF WE INCLUDE IT IN THE PLAN. 
          SO IT WOULD BE, IT WOULD NOT BE, IT WOULD BE A VIOLATION OF THE ORDINANCE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO MR. CORKER, I JUST HAVE A COUPLE CLARIFYING QUESTIONS ON THESE. 
          SO THE POTABLE WATER, I MEAN, WHERE WOULD SOMEONE GET, MAYBE I'M, I'M JUST NAIVE, WHERE WOULD SOMEONE GET NON-POTABLE WATER TO FILL 500 SQUARE FEET OF LIKE A LITTLE POND OR SOMETHING? I MEAN, HOW WOULD THEY OBTAIN, I MEAN, ISN'T LIKE WATER FROM YOUR HOSE? CAN YOU JUST DRINK THAT? LIKE, THAT'S POTABLE, RIGHT? SO YEAH. 
          WHERE WOULD YOU GET THAT RAIN? I SEE IT'S, IT'S ALLOWING IT TO REFILL NATURALLY. 
          ALLOWING IT TO REFILL WITH THE, WITH THE, YOU KNOW, I I I'LL TELL YOU, THERE'S, IN OUR OPINION, UM, AGAIN, DIDN'T WANNA BE PRESUMPTUOUS AND, AND JUST NOT INCLUDE THESE OR BRING THESE UP, THESE ARE, UM, HIGH, UM, IN TERMS OF THE ENFORCEMENT ON THE LAST TWO KIND OF HIGH ENFORCEMENT COST FOR, FOR REALLY LOW RETURN. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, AND THE FIRST TWO VERY MUCH SO. 
          AS A MATTER OF FACT, I THINK THE FIRST ONE, IF YOU'VE GOT A SITUATION FOR INSTANCE, WHERE YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, A, A YARD THAT'S, UM, THAT, THAT IS, UM, WHERE MUD IS POURING ONTO THE SIDEWALK BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S RAINING IN THE WINTERTIME AND SOMEONE WANTS TO CORRECT THAT, THIS WOULDN'T ALLOW THAT WITHOUT SOME KIND OF A VARIANCE. 
          AND SO, UM, THESE, THESE, UM, I THINK THESE RESTRICTIONS, UM, WE LOOKED AT 'EM IN 19, UM, WHEN THEY WERE RECOMMENDATIONS AND WE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY HAD A GREAT RETURN IN TERMS OF CONSERVATION. 
          MM-HMM. 
           FOR THE, UM, BURDEN AND ENFORCEMENT THAT WOULD COME ALONG, THE BURDEN ON THE RESIDENT AND, AND THE BUSINESS OWNER, AND THEN THE ENFORCEMENT COST TO THE CITY, UM, PARTICULARLY THE LAST TWO. 
          UM, IF THE HOTEL ONE, YOU KNOW, IF THAT WANTED TO BE MAYBE A, A FORWARD LOOKING THING WHERE YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT MANDATORY ON HOTELS THAT WERE ALREADY OPERATING, THAT COULD BE A CONSIDERATION. 
          AND, AND, UM, WE COULD LOOK AT IT LIKE THAT. 
          BUT, UM, AGAIN, THESE ARE, THESE ARE, THESE ARE, UM, THESE ARE THINGS THAT PROBABLY INTUITIVELY TO YOU OR YOU MAYBE YOU'RE ASKING YOURSELF, DO THESE REALLY MAKE THE BEST SENSE FOR, UM, THE RETURN THAT YOU GET ON 'EM? I MEAN, HOW MANY OF THESE PONDS DO WE HAVE IN THE CITY? WE, WE, WE FEEL VERY FEW. 
          UM, AND SO YEAH, I MEAN, THERE'S A REASON THEY WEREN'T INCLUDED, LIKE YOU SAID. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO, UM, THE ONLY OTHER, SO THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS FOR THE RESTAURANT BARS AND COMMERCIAL FOOD AND BEVERAGE ESTABLISHMENTS, I MEAN, IS THE, IS THE LAW RIGHT NOW THAT THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE DRINKING WATER TO CUSTOMERS? MM-HMM. 
          , RIGHT? THEY DON'T HAVE TO. 
          ANYWAY. 
          SO THIS WOULD JUST BE A RECOMMENDATION? NO, THIS WOULD, THIS WOULD ACTUALLY, IF YOU ADOPTED IT AS PART OF THE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN, THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE, YOU WOULD, A RESTAURANT WOULD BE PROHIBITED, UM, TO PROVIDE SOMEONE A GLASS OF WATER UNLESS THEY WERE SPECIFIC, UNLESS THAT CUSTOMER ASKED FOR THE GLASS OF WATER. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU , MR. HUTCHER RUNNER. 
          I, I JUST WOULD SAY THAT I KNOW WHEN WE LOOKED BACK, LOOKED AT THIS BACK IN 2019, IT WAS KIND OF WHAT CITY, UH, MANAGER MAGNER SAID IT WAS, IT THE JUICE IS NOT WORTH THE SQUEEZE. 
          AND SO I THINK, I THINK IT'S JUST TRYING TO PUT THIS IN THERE AND, AND, AND MANDATE IT DO, SHOULD WE ENCOURAGE IT. 
          SURE. 
          I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH THAT. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, I I, I THINK IT'S JUST, I THINK IT'S, IM, I DON'T WANNA SAY THE WORD IMPOSSIBLE, I GUESS ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE, BUT IT, I THINK IT'S JUST INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THE ENFORCEMENT THAT WE'RE REALLY GONNA GET THE KIND OF RESPONSE OR NOT RESPONSE, BUT WE'RE GONNA GET THAT MU I MEAN, ONE AN OUNCE GLASS OF WATER GRANITE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T DRINK IT, YOU KNOW, I, I MEAN, I THINK WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE, BUT I, I, I DON'T THINK I WOULD, I PERSONALLY WOULD DON'T THINK I WOULD WANNA SEE THIS AS A PARDON OF AN ORDINANCE AND HAVE AN ENFORCEMENT AND ALL OF THAT. 
          SO I, I'LL PUT THAT OUT THERE. 
          MR. CORMAN, SORRY, JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON, ON THAT POINT AS WELL AND WHAT I THINK WE'RE ALL THE SENTIMENT THAT I'M HEARING FROM MY COLLEAGUES TOO. 
          I MEAN IT'S, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE DEFINITELY POLICY CONSIDERATIONS. 
          SO I JUST, I DO WANNA SAY I'M GLAD THAT Y'ALL BROUGHT THEM FORWARD. 
          YEAH, THANK YOU. 
          RIGHT. 
          EITHER WAY, RIGHT. 
          WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT ADOPTING THEM  AND, AND, UH, COUNCILMAN , THEY ABSOLUTELY CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE OFFICIAL PLAN AS A RECOMMENDATION. 
          YEAH. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S REQUIREMENT VERSUS EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAW IN THE PRIOR CHART IS REQUIRED AND SOMEBODY COULD BE CITED IF THEY DON'T FOLLOW THAT. 
          THESE COULD BE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED BUT NOT REQUIRED TO THE POINT WHERE YOU'RE VIOLATING THE LAW. 
          IF YOU DON'T, YOU DON'T DO 'EM. 
          YEAH. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          APPRECIATE THAT. 
          UM, AND TO THE ENFORCEMENT PIECE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, THIS IS CURRENTLY IN THE PLAN. 
          IT WOULD AGAIN, REMAIN THE 
          [00:55:01]
SAME. 
          UM, ANY FIRST VIOLATION OF ANY WATER CONSERVATION MEASURE, UH, WOULD RESULT IN THE, THE CUSTOMER RECEIVING A LETTER, UH, WATER CONSERVATION EDUCATION, EDUCATE THEM ON WHAT THEY DID THAT WAS A VIOLATION, AND THEN GIVE THEM REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO MAKE THE CORRECTION, UH, A SECOND VIOLATION. 
          UH, THE CITY MAY ISSUE A CITATION, UM, WITH A FINE THAT COULD BE UP TO EXCEED $2,000. 
          BUT AGAIN, I THINK LIKE MOST APPROACHES, OUR, OUR GOAL WOULD BE TO EDUCATE. 
          UH, BUT SIDING IS DEFINITELY THERE IF NECESSARY. 
          UM, AND THEN USING OUR CURRENT FIVE TIER STRUCTURE, THE LEVEL RATE STRUCTURE, THE MORE WATER YOU USE, THE MORE IT'S GONNA COST YOU. 
          SO THAT, THAT JUST IN ITSELF COULD BE A WATER CONSERVATION OR A WATER USER DETERRENT. 
          UM, THE MORE YOU USE, THE MORE IT'S GONNA COST YOU. 
          SO, UM, AND THAT'S, THAT'S IN EFFECT YEAR ROUND, SO THAT THAT'S GONNA STAY IN AS WELL. 
          UM, NOW GALLONS PER CAPITA PER DAY, UM, TCQ, TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD, UH, REQUIRE GOALS FOR TOTAL GPCD, RESIDENTIAL GPCD AND WATER LOSS, GPCD. 
          SO I JUST KINDA WANNA WALK THROUGH A LITTLE BIT WHAT THOSE ARE, AND THEN I'LL KIND OF, WE WILL REVIEW THE CHART THAT'S IN THE PLAN. 
          UM, SO TOTAL GPCD IS DEFINED AS ALL WATER USE. 
          SO EVERY BIT OF WATER THAT WE GET FROM NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT, YOU TAKE THAT NUMBER AND YOU DIVIDE IT INTO OUR PERMANENT POPULATION DIVIDED BY 365, AND YOU GET TOTAL GPCD. 
          UM, ON THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE, THIS IS OUR RESIDENTIAL AND MULTIFAMILY. 
          SO YOU TAKE THAT WATER USE THAT'S JUST DESIGNED FOR RE OR NOT DESIGNED, DE DECLARED RESIDENTIAL AND MULTIFAMILY, TAKE THAT NUMBER, DIVIDE IT IN THE POPULATION DIVIDED BY 365, RIGHT? SIMILAR CALCULATION TO GET YOUR NUMBER. 
          UM, THEN WE HAVE WATER LOSS, GPCD. 
          SO OUR WATER LOSS, GPCD IS DEFINED AS ANY NON METERED WATER. 
          SO IT'S WATER THAT WE GOT CREDIT FOR PURCHASING, BUT IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH A METER. 
          SO THOSE LOSSES COULD BE USED FOR FIREFIGHTING, MAIN BREAKS, HYDRANT FLUSHING, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT ARE USED WITHIN THE SYSTEM BUT AREN'T NECESSARILY METERED. 
          SO WE HAVE TO HAVE A WATER LOSS, GPCD, UH, FOR THAT AS WELL. 
          SO, VERY SIMILAR CALCULATION. 
          TAKE THE WATER LOSS, DIVIDED IT INTO THE POPULATION 365. 
          UM, SOME IMPACTS TO GPCD. 
          JUST TO POINT OUT BEFORE WE GET TO THE NEXT SLIDE IS, YOU KNOW, INCREASES INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION. 
          IF YOU HAVE A RAMP UP IN YOUR INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION IN YOUR CITY, THAT'S FASTER THAN YOUR POPULATION CAN GROW, WELL THEN G-G-P-C-D NUMBER IS GONNA BE IMPACTED BY THAT WATER USAGE. 
          UM, ALSO WEATHER PATTERNS. 
          IF YOU HAVE VERY DRY SUMMERS VERSUS VERY WET SUMMERS, WELL THAT RESIDENTIAL IRRIGATION USE IS GONNA FLUCTUATE DRAMATICALLY. 
          UM, WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY IMPACT THE RESIDENTIAL GPCD. 
          UM, SO JUST SOME OF THOSE IMPACTS, UM, TO CONSIDER AS WE LOOK AT THE CHART. 
          UM, SO HERE WE'VE GOT OUR HISTORIC FIVE YEAR AVERAGE OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS. 
          UM, THERE'S OUR NO TOTAL FOR EACH CATEGORY. 
          UM, AND THEN WE HAD TO SET OUR GOAL, OUR FIVE YEAR AND 10 YEAR GOAL, UH, LITTLE METHODOLOGY ON THE FIVE YEAR GOAL. 
          WE KNOW WE HAVE SOME LARGE INDUSTRIAL USERS THAT ARE GONNA INCREASE THEIR PRODUCTION OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. 
          SO IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, WE USE THOSE PROJECTIONS AND OUR POPULATION PROJECTIONS AND SAY, OKAY, WHAT'S A REALISTIC GOAL FOR GPCD? FOR TOTAL GPCD? UM, THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE, UH, INCREASE OR NOT INCREASE, BUT A GOAL OF 2 54 BASED ON OUR FIVE YEAR AVERAGE OF TWO 13. 
          JUST KNOWING THAT WE'VE GOT MORE USAGE COMING IN, THAT'S GONNA GROW MUCH RAPID, MUCH MORE RAPIDLY THAN OUR POPULATION. 
          SO THAT'S JUST GONNA IMPACT THAT GPCD NUMBER. 
          SO THAT'S THE LOGIC. 
          WE, WE DETERMINED WHEN WE UPDATED THIS 2029 GOAL, UM, TO TAKE THAT TOTAL GPCD OUT 10 YEARS. 
          WE USE THE SAME LOGIC. 
          WE KNOW WHAT THAT USAGE IS GONNA BE, BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE POPULATION'S GONNA GROW WITHIN THAT TIMEFRAME. 
          AND THEN THE TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD USES THE GUIDANCE TO SAY, YOU SHOULD STRIVE FOR A 1% REDUCTION ON YOUR DPCD ANNUALLY. 
          SO TAKING THOSE FACTORS IN, THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A REDUCTION DOWN TO 2 46 WITH OUR 10 YEAR, UH, RESIDENTIAL FIVE YEAR GOAL. 
          UH, WE JUST SHIFTED THAT ONE. 
          17 WAS OUR 2029 GOAL AND THE 2019 PLAN. 
          SO WE JUST LEFT THAT GOAL. 
          THE SAME FOR, FOR THE 2024 PLAN. 
          UM, AND USED THE 1% REDUCTION FOR THE 2034 GOAL OF ONE 11. 
          UM, AND THEN OUR WATER LOSS, TPCD, UM, OUR NUMBERS ARE A LITTLE HIGHER THAN WHAT, WHAT WE'D LIKE THEM TO BE. 
          WE'RE SITTING AT ABOUT AN 18% WATER LOSS. 
          THE STATE AVERAGE IS AROUND 12. 
          UM, SO OUR GOAL IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IS TO GET OUR NUMBERS CLOSER TO THAT 12% STATE AVERAGE. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE WE TARGETED THAT FIVE YEAR, UH, WATER LOSS GPCD GOAL. 
          UM, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY IF WE GET THERE, WE, WE CAN STRIVE TO DO A LITTLE BIT BETTER AT OUR 10 YEAR PROJECTION. 
          SO, UM, THAT'S OUR GPCD FIVE YEAR AND 10 YEAR GOALS, UH, FOR THE REQUIRED CATEGORIES, SOME JUST PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT WE EITHER PARTICIPATE IN OR WE OFFER, UH, JUST KIND OF WATER EFFICIENCY NETWORK IN NORTH TEXAS. 
          THAT'S AN ORGANIZATION THAT WE PARTICIPATE IN. 
          UM, WATER BY IQ THROUGH TEXAS A AND M AGRILIFE WATER IQ, UH, FIX THELE WEEK, WHICH WAS, THAT JUST OCCURRED NOT TOO LONG AGO. 
          UM, AND OUR JUST INTERNAL WATER CONSERVATION MATERIALS ADDED ALL OF OUR CITY EVENTS, WHETHER IT BE COTTONWOOD OR AT 
          [01:00:01]
THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, LEADERSHIP WORKSHOPS, THE REALTOR WORKSHOPS. 
          AND THEN WE DO REGULARLY SCHEDULED OUTREACH AT LOCAL BUSINESSES. 
          UH, WE TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ALL OF OUR OUTREACH INCLUDING WATER CONSERVATION. 
          SO NOW MOVING ON TO THE, OR OTHER RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE. 
          YOU KNOW, THIS IS ALSO IN THE PLAN IS KIND OF OTHER POTENTIAL RESOURCES THAT PEOPLE COULD HAVE ACCESS TO. 
          UM, THE USE OF ET BASED WEEKLY WATERING, WHICH IS A, IN VAPO TRANSPIRATION IS WHAT ET STANDS FOR. 
          IT'S A SYSTEM, IT'S AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM WHERE THAT WILL LOOK AT WEATHER PATTERNS, TAKING SOIL CONSIDERATIONS, AND THEN BASED ON ALL OF THOSE FACTORS, PROVIDE YOU WITH A WATERING SCHEDULE, UH, VERSUS JUST YOU SETTING IT TWICE A WEEK TO WATER THIS TIMEFRAME. 
          UM, WATER IN WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPE INITIATIVES, UM, OTHER IRRIGATION MEASURES WITH NEW IRRIGATION SYSTEMS. AND THEN THE DISTRICT ACTUALLY OFFERS, UH, A WATER EFFICIENCY OPPORTUNITY SURVEY FOR OUR ICIM CUSTOMERS, WHICH IS, UH, INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL, INSTITUTIONAL, AND MULTIFAMILY. 
          SO IF ONE OF THOSE BUSINESSES OR CUSTOMERS IS INTERESTED IN HAVING SOMEBODY COME IN AND LOOK AT THEIR FACILITY FOR AND IMPROVE WATER EFFICIENCY OR WATER CONSERVATION, THE DISTRICT ACTUALLY WILL PROVIDE THE CONSULTANT AND THAT CONSULTANT WILL PERFORM THE REPORT AT NO COST TO THE CITY. 
          UM, SO THAT'S ANOTHER RESOURCE THAT WE, WE DO OFFER TO OUR, UM, ICIM CUSTOMERS. 
          SO YOU'LL, YOU'LL SEE A SECTION IN THE, IN THE PLAN, THE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN THAT WILL INCLUDE THESE, EVERYTHING ON THESE LAST TWO SLIDES AS RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          AND THIS IS WHERE YOU'LL FIND THOSE OTHER FOUR ITEMS THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT. 
          SO YOU'LL HAVE THE REQUIREMENTS AND THEN ALL OF THESE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS, ALL OF THESE OTHER SERVICES AS WELL AS THE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO DO THOSE FOUR ITEMS. UH, SO MOVING ON NOW TO THE WATER RESOURCE AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          UM, THIS PLAN IS GETTING IN MORE. 
          WE WE'RE IN A DROUGHT. 
          YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT WATER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS TO CONSIDER. 
          UH, SO THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN IS TO SAVE WATER DURING DROUGHTS, WATER SHORTAGES AND EMERGENCIES. 
          UM, SAVE WATER FOR DOMESTIC USE, SANITATION, FIRE PROTECTION, UH, PUBLIC HEALTH, WELFARE, SAFETY. 
          YOU KNOW, THESE ARE WHERE WE HAVE TO TAKE STRIDES 'CAUSE OUR WATER SUPPLIES ARE GETTING LOWER THAN THAN WE'D LIKE THEM TO BE. 
          UM, SO WE NEED FOR MORE, UM, ADVANCED WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES, IF YOU WILL. 
          UM, AND THE DISTRICT GO AHEAD. 
          THEY WILL GO AHEAD AND THEY HAVE PROVIDED THIS, AND IT'S IN OUR PLAN. 
          UM, INITIATION TRIGGERS PER STAGE. 
          UM, AND THEN WHAT ARE OUR OUTDOOR WATER RESTRICTIONS THAT GO ALONG WITH THOSE STAGES? UM, I THINK MR. MAGNUM MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 19 PLAN AND THE 2024 PLAN. 
          IN THIS INSTANCE IS WE ONLY HAD ONE WATER SUPPLY ON THE SYSTEM LAST TIME IN 2019. 
          WE HAD LAKE LVO, NOW WE HAVE LAKE LEVON AND BODARK LAKE. 
          SO WHEN YOU SEE PERCENT COMBINED STORAGE, THAT'S A CHANGE FOR THE 19 PLAN. 
          'CAUSE WE'VE GOT TWO WATER SOURCES NOW THAT THEY'RE, THAT THEY'RE EVALUATING FOR THESE, UH, DROUGHT STAGE TRIGGERS. 
          UM, ALL THE PERCENTAGES ARE THE SAME. 
          STAGE ONE INITIATION IS STILL 70% APRIL TO OCTOBER, STILL 60% NOVEMBER, MARCH. 
          UM, STILL HAVE A REDUCTION GOAL OF 2%. 
          NOTHING'S CHANGED FROM THE 19 TO 24 PLAN. 
          UM, AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE RESTRICTIONS THERE. 
          UH, STAGE TWO, UH, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS, THE INITIATION STAGES ARE THE SAME, BUT THE REDUCTION GOAL WAS 10%. 
          IN 19, THE DISTRICT IS RECOMMENDING A 5% REDUCTION GOAL. 
          THIS PLAN VERSUS THE 19 PLAN. 
          UM, I THINK THAT DECISION BASED ON TALKING WITH THE DISTRICT, 'CAUSE THAT WAS MADE IT TO BE A REALISTIC GOAL THAT COULD BE ACHIEVED WITH STAGE TWO, UH, WHICH IS WHY THEY DID THE REDUCTION FROM 10 TO 5%. 
          UM, AND THEN STAGE THREE, AGAIN, THE INITIATION TRIGGERS PERCENTAGES ARE THE SAME. 
          THIS IS STILL NO OUTDOOR WATERING. 
          SO WE'RE IN PRETTY DIRE STRAITS IF WE'RE IN IN STAGE THREE. 
          THIS IS LIKELY A REGIONAL CONVERSATION AT THIS POINT. 
          UM, AND THEY DID CHANGE THE DEMAND REDUCTION GOAL FROM TBD TO 30%. 
          SO THEY JUST DEFINED AN ACTUAL REDUCTION GOAL, UM, IN THE 2024 PLAN. 
          SO UNDER, YOU'RE GOING OVER THE TRIGGERS AND UNDERSTANDING THE, THE SITUATION. 
          THIS IS KIND OF ANOTHER SLIDE TO KIND OF SHOW YOU SIMILARITIES IN THE 19 PLAN. 
          AND THEN JUST SOME OPTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION, UM, TO INCLUDE IN THE PLAN THAT WE DID NOT INCLUDE IN 19. 
          SO STAGE ONE, TWO TIMES A WEEK, OUTDOOR WATERING, SAME, BOTH PLANS, STAGE TWO ONCE A WEEK, SAME IN BOTH PLANS. 
          AND THEN NO OUTDOOR WATERING, UM, AT ALL ON STAGE THREE. 
          THAT WILL REMAIN THE SAME IN BOTH PLANS. 
          UM, SOME, SOME RE RESTRICTIONS HERE TO CONSIDER. 
          THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO CALL, TO CALL OUT THE COOL, COOL WEATHER GRASSES IN THE PREVIOUS CONSERVATION DISCUSSION IS, 'CAUSE THIS IS A VERY SIMILAR WORDING. 
          IT'S PROHIBIT OVERSEEING SIGHTING, SPRINGING BROADCASTING OR PLUGGING EXCEPT GOLF COURSE AND ATHLETICS FIELDS. 
          THIS IS OF ANY AGRICULTURE. 
          SO IT'S NOT JUST COOL WEATHER. 
          THIS WOULD BE JUST AT ANY TIME, UM, TO MAKE SURE THE CONTEXT IS THERE. 
          UM, AND THEN STAGE THREE, THIS IS ESSENTIALLY JUST OUTDOOR WASHING OF BUILDINGS, WINDOWS, IMPERVIOUS SURFACES, UM, THAT WOULD NOT BE PERMITTED. 
          UM, IT WAS NOT IN THE 19 PLAN, BUT COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THE 2024 PLAN. 
          UM, AND THEN THE 19 PLAN DOESN'T HAVE IT, BUT A CONSIDERATION FOR THE 24 PLAN IN STAGE THREE. 
          WOULD HE PROHIBIT THE OPERATION OF INTERACTIVE WATER 
          [01:05:01]
FEATURES SUCH AS WATER SPRAYS, WATER JETS, WATERFALLS, DANCING BUCKETS, YOU KNOW, SPLASH PADS. 
          I THINK IT'S MORE OF THOSE KIND OF AQUATIC CENTER TYPES THAT, THAT YOU SEE, UM, CURRENTLY, UM, THAT'S NOT PROHIBITED, BUT IN THE 2024 PLAN, THAT'S UP FOR CONSIDERATION. 
          SO, YEAH, AND, AND, UH, MAYOR COUNSEL, I MEAN, I, I WOULD FEEL CONFIDENT SAYING WE, WE BELIEVE ALL THESE ARE PRUDENT. 
          UM, STAGE THREE, UH, IS, IS A VERY DIRE SITUATION. 
          STAGE TWO. 
          UM, THE REASON WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS APPROPRIATE IS BECAUSE, UH, WITH JUST, UH, IN STAGE TWO WITH JUST THE ONCE EVERY OTHER WEEK WATERING IN THE WINTER, AND ONCE A WEEK IN THE SUMMER, WE WOULD HAVE TO GRANT A, A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT VARIANCE TO ALLOW SOMEBODY TO, TO, TO PLANT AT AT AND, AND, UH, HAVE THESE NEW, AND SO IT JUST WOULD BE VERY, UM, UNLESS THERE WAS SOME OVERWHELMING NEED THAT I CAN'T REALLY IMAGINE, UM, IT JUST WOULD BE INCON, IT WOULD BE INCONGRUENT WITH EVERYTHING WE WERE ASKING EVERY OTHER, YOU KNOW, RESIDENT AND BUSINESS OWNER TO DO. 
          AND SO WE FEEL LIKE THESE ARE ALL PRUDENT TO INCLUDE, EVEN THOUGH THEY WEREN'T IN 19. 
          MR. HUTCHEN RIDER, JUST ONE QUESTION. 
          IF WE WERE AT STAGE THREE, I KNOW I'VE SEEN OTHER CITIES THAT ACTUALLY, UM, RESTRICT WASHING OF CARS. 
          IS THAT SOMETHING WE WOULD EVER PUT INTO THIS ORDINANCE OR CONSIDER IN THIS ORDINANCE? I MEAN, AGAIN, AND, AND AGAIN, I MEAN THAT, I THINK THAT WOULD BE RESERVED FOR STAGE THREE. 
          WE'RE DIRE, WE'RE, WE'RE DROUGHT, ET CETERA, ET CETERA. 
          SO I'M JUST CURIOUS IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE WOULD CONSIDER. 
          YEAH, I WOULD, I WOULD ASSUME THAT'S NO OUTDOOR WATERING. 
          IT WOULD FALL INTO THAT CATEGORY. 
          I'LL HAVE TO REVIEW THE ACTUAL PLAN TO SEE IF IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS NO CAR WASHING IN STAGE THREE. 
          UM, OH, OKAY. 
          I, I, I, I, IF, IF THAT'S INCLUDED, WE PROBABLY OUGHT TO SPELL THAT OUT. 
          YEAH. 
          'CAUSE I, I READ THAT AS WHEN I READ IT AS NO OUTDOOR WATERING. 
          I'M THINKING CAN'T WATER YOUR LAWN. 
          I'M NOT THINKING YOU CAN'T WASH YOUR CAR. 
          YEAH, THAT'S SOMETHING, THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL CHECK ON. 
          I, I DON'T WANNA SPEAK TO IT, THINK IT'S SO SPECIFIC TO STAGE THREE. 
          I KNOW THAT THERE IS REFERENCE TO NOT ALLOWING CAR WASHING. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT SPECIFIC TO STAGE THREE I, I'LL LOOK AT IT, UM, AND SEE IF IT'S IN THERE. 
          AND THEN AGAIN, UM, AS PART OF THE NEXT STEPS, Y'ALL WILL BE RECEIVING A COPY OF THE DRAFT PLAN. 
          SO, YEAH, NO, THAT'S FINE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          BUT I'LL VERIFY. 
          THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, COUNCILWOMAN JUSTICE. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UH, THANK YOU ERIC. 
          YEAH, I, I AGREE WITH MR. MAGNER'S COMMENTS ON THESE. 
          I THINK, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE GETTING INTO STAGE TWO OR THREE, IT'S PRETTY DIRE. 
          UH, AND I AGREE, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE IN STAGE TWO TO SOD YOUR LAWN AND THEN NOT BE ABLE TO WATER IT. 
          SO  SO THAT, THAT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD PLACE TO PUT THAT. 
          UM, AND SO, YEAH, I, I, I'M IN FAVOR OF ALL THESE. 
          I THINK THEY SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE 24 PLAN. 
          MR. CHU. 
          THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. 
          WELL, THANK YOU FOR, AGAIN, GOOD PRESENTATION. 
          COUPLE QUESTION. 
          YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER. 
          UH, IF SOME OTHER TIME I GET THE ANSWER, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          ONE IS, UH, BECAUSE THE TOPICS CAME HERE, THE FIRE HYDRANT, UH, FLUSHING. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO WHAT ARE WE DOING TO MINIMIZE THAT REQUIREMENTS, UH, YOU KNOW, CITYWIDE AS A WHOLE, BECAUSE THAT TAKES, UH, LOTS OF WATER. 
          SO THAT, THAT ONE QUESTION. 
          AND THE OTHER QUESTION IS, IT'S JUST WISHFUL THAT, IS THERE ANY DEVICE THAT HOMEOWNERS CAN INSTALL IN THEIR HOUSE? SO IF THERE IS A LEAK, ACTIVE LEAK, IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHECK THE METER. 
          IT FLUSHES SOMEWHERE THAT YOU HAVE A LEAK SOMEWHERE IN THE HOUSE BEFORE YOU GET THE BILL END OF THE MONTH. 
          SO TWO QUESTION, BUT YOU KNOW, THIS COULD BE ANSWERED SOME OTHER TIME. 
          UH, YEAH, I, I DON'T, I, I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE, WE ARE AWARE OF. 
          I'M LOOKING FROM A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT ANGLES HERE THAT WOULD PICK UP A LEAK. 
          I THINK THE METER IS PROBABLY THE BEST TOOL FOR IDENTIFYING THAT. 
          YEAH, WE, WE, I MEAN, WE DO OFFER FIX A LEAK WEEK, ONE OF THOSE OUTREACH INITIATIVES THAT WE PROVIDE LITTLE TABLETS THAT YOU CAN PUT. 
          AND IT'S REALLY FOR TOILETS TO SEE IF YOU HAVE A LEAKY TOILET. 
          'CAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE DYE WOULD SHOW UP IN THE BOWL IF YOU HAD A LEAKY TOILET. 
          SO IT COULD GIVE YOU, YOU KNOW, SOME PERSPECTIVE THERE. 
          BUT IN TERMS OF JUST A LEAK ANYWHERE IN THE HOUSE, I'M, I'M NOT, YEAH, THE LEAK IS LIKELY THE BEST PLACE TO CHECK. 
          THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT'S REPORTING THE WATER'S GOING THROUGH. 
          NO, THAT'S GREAT. 
          I MEAN, THE WATER METER IS UNDERGROUND AND WE DON'T REALLY HAVE THE TIME, YOU KNOW, GO AND CHECK IT, BUT SOMETIMES WE FIGURE OUT, WHEN YOU SEE THAT BILL IS HUGE AND STUPID LEAK IS SOMEWHERE, UH, EASY TO FIX. 
          BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WISHFUL THINKING, MAYBE SOMEONE CAN INVENT SOME DEVICE IN THE FUTURE. 
          SO IT GOES PARALLEL WITH THE METER, RIGHT. 
          AND IT FLASH RED FLAG LIKE YOUR SMOKE ALARM. 
          RIGHT. 
          UH, BUT ANYWAY, UH, AND THE FIRE HYDRANT SOME OTHER TIME THE QUESTION. 
          SO, SO, UH, I'M SORRY. 
          IT JUST WENT, UM, ON THE HYDRANTS AND, AND, UM, I MEAN, SO, SO THIS IS THE, THIS IS THE MOST IRONIC THING ABOUT CONSERVING WATER. 
          IT ACTUALLY REQUIRES YOU TO FLUSH THE LINES MORE, AS YOU WELL KNOW. 
          I MEAN, YOU'RE, YOU'RE THE ENGINEER, NOT ME , BUT, UM, IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN. 
          UM, AND I'LL TAKE YOU BACK TO OH EIGHT, UM, AND EVEN, UM, TO, TO, UH, LET THE, I'M SORRY, THE 1112 
          [01:10:01]
DROUGHT AND THEN THE OH FIVE TO OH SEVEN DROUGHT. 
          UM, WHEN, WHEN YOU ACT, WHEN WHEN WE RESTRICT WATER USAGE, PARTICULARLY THE IRRIGATION, UM, THAT WATER STAYS IN THE SYSTEM A LOT LONGER. 
          AND OF COURSE, THE CHLORINE AND OTHER CHEMICALS, CHEMICALS BEGIN TO BURN OFF. 
          AND SO WE'RE REQUIRED TO FLUSH THAT WATER TO MOVE IT THROUGH SO THAT, UH, HIGH QUALITY, YOU KNOW, WATER CAN, CAN BE REPLACED. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT RESIDENTS WILL AND BUSINESSES WILL DRAW DOWN UPON. 
          UM, I KNOW THAT, UM, THESE GUYS DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO MINIMIZE THE FLUSHING, BUT THE REALITY IS, IS SOMETIMES IT'S INEVITABLE. 
          YOU, ABSO YOU HAVE TO FLUSH THE LINE TO CLEAR OUT THE WA THE OLD WATER. 
          UM, AND, AND RECALL, PARTICULARLY IN THE SOUTHWEST PART OF OUR TOWN, AND THAT WATER COMES ALL THE WAY FROM WILEY. 
          IT'S A LONG DISTANCE THAT IT TRAVELS TO GET TO THE NORTH SIDE PUMP STATION TO MAKE ITS WAY DOWN TO WEST SIDE TO SIT. 
          UM, AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S REALLY NOT, WITH JUST A DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND THE INABILITY FOR US TO ADD ADDITIONAL CHEMICALS LOCALLY, THERE'S REALLY NOT A SOLUTION TO BE ABLE TO, UM, TO ELIMINATE FLUSHING. 
          WE CAN JUST TRY TO MANAGE IT AS EFFECTIVELY, EFFECTIVELY AS WE CAN SO WE CAN MINIMIZE IT. 
          THAT'S GOOD. 
          I THINK, UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S TRUE. 
          TRUE. 
          BUT ALSO LIKE IF, IF WE CAN, UH, IF YOU HAVE TO REPLACE SOME OF THE WATER LINE, AND IF THOSE WATER LINES ARE DEAD END, UH, IF YOU CAN LOOP THOSE WATER LINES SOMEHOW, UH, THAT WOULD MINIMIZE SOME FLUSHING REQUIREMENT. 
          UH, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IF THE LINE, YOU KNOW, IS A CUL-DE-SAC, NOTHING GOES THERE. 
          YOU DO HAVE TO, UH, FLOOD THOSE LINES PURELY VERY OFTEN. 
          YOU WANNA SPEAK TO THAT JUST POSITION? NO, HE, HE'S CORRECT. 
          AS LONG AS IF YOU, WE, WE DO LOOK TO LOOP LINES WHENEVER WE CAN. 
          WE WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE A DEAD END BECAUSE A, IT REQUIRES STAFFING TO GO OUT AND FLUSH THAT HYDRANT MONTHLY PER THE STATE. 
          UH, SO ANYTIME WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, WE CAN LOOP LINE. 
          WE CERTAINLY DO THAT. 
          UM, I'LL ALSO ADDRESS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO DO A REALLY GOOD JOB OF ONLY FLUSHING WHEN NECESSARY, EVEN THROUGH CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. 
          YOU KNOW, FLUSH WHAT YOU NEED TO GAIN THE APPROPRIATE VELOCITIES TO GET THE WATER SAMPLES TO PASS. 
          BUT DON'T JUST LEAVE IT OPEN ALL DAY, JUST 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO. 
          SO, SO WE TRY TO HOLD NOT ONLY OUR OWN STAFF ACCOUNTABLE, CONTRACTORS ACCOUNTABLE TO THAT, TO KIND OF REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT WE DO WHEN WE FLUSH. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE, THERE ARE DEFINITELY NECESSARY EVILS THAT ARE REQUIRED BY TCQ, BUT WE TRY TO LIMIT IT AS BEST WE CAN. 
          YES, I DO UNDERSTAND. 
          UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S YOU HAVE TO DO. 
          THANK YOU, MR. DORIAN. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          I AM HOPING THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO, TO BRING THIS UP. 
          BUT ON YOUR EDUCATIONAL PIECE, YOU KNOW, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE ALWAYS WORKED ON OVER THE LAST 23 PLUS YEARS IS FOR THE NEIGHBORS AND THE NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          AND I KNOW THAT WE'RE ALWAYS TRYING TO EDUCATE THE HOMEOWNERS, UM, TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR PROPERTIES AND MAKE 'EM ONE, ONE MORE SUSTAINABLE AND ATTRACTIVE AND WITH RESTRICTIONS, WHICH IS GREAT. 
          I THINK. 
          IS THERE ANY PLAN THAT WE CAN, UM, CONSTRUCT IN EDUCATING OR MAKE OR BRINGING AWARENESS TO RESIDENTS FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS? 'CAUSE A LOT OF THAT PRIMARILY ARE GONNA BE NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          I MEAN, YES, WE HAVE BUSINESSES HERE THAT REQUIRE, UH, UH, WATER AND LANDSCAPING, UM, SOFT SCAPING. 
          UM, BUT FOR THE NEIGHBORS, FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS TO KEEP THEM, YOU KNOW, SOMEWHAT ATTRACTIVE. 
          IS THERE A WAY TO ADD THROUGH THAT AWARENESS PROGRAM TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ON HOW TO DO THAT, BUT ALSO MAINTAIN A ATTRACTIVE, UH, DRIVE UP APPEAL FOR THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD? UH, COUNCILMAN, WE'RE WORKING ON A, A A A CAMPAIGN RIGHT NOW, UH, COMMUNICATIONS AND, AND, UH, COMMUNITY SERVICES THAT WE'LL BE BRINGING BACK TO YOU PROBABLY WITHIN THE NEXT, SAY, MAYBE SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS. 
          AND THE WHOLE OBJECTIVE OF THE, THE CAMPAIGN, IT'S ONE OF YOUR TACTICS. 
          THE WHOLE OBJECTIVE OF THE CAMPAIGN IS NOT JUST TO REINFORCE THE MINIMUM STANDARDS THAT WE CAN REQUIRE, BUT TO ENCOURAGE, UM, HOMEOWNERS TO GO BEYOND THAT AND TO TRY TO, UM, ACHIEVE A HIGHER LEVEL OF CURB APPEAL OR DRIVE UP APPEAL. 
          AND, UH, PART OF THAT WILL BE, UM, PROVIDING, UM, WITH, WITH YOUR CONCURRENCE AT THAT TIME, PROVIDING NOT ONLY EDUCATION, BUT PERHAPS EVEN ADDITIONAL RESOURCES. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          UM, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT WE TALK ABOUT, UH, BEING A, A CITY, A VERY DIVERSE CITY WITH PEOPLE FROM ALL ACROSS THE WORLD, YOU KNOW, IT, IT OCCURS, UH, YOU KNOW, OCCURRED TO ME THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME, SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COME FROM PLACES THAT, FOR INSTANCE, DON'T HAVE GRASS AT ALL. 
          AND SO, UH, THEY NEVER HAD TO CARE FOR A LAWN BEFORE. 
          SO WE WANNA EDUCATE. 
          WE WANNA PROVIDE THEM WITH THE SKILLS AND EVEN, AND EVEN PERHAPS SOME ADDITIONAL RESOURCES, UM, SO THAT THEY CAN ACHIEVE, UM, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST THE MINIMUM STANDARD, BUT GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT. 
          AND SO, UH, I THINK WE'RE COMING UP WITH A FAIRLY CLEVER CAMPAIGN, UM, THAT, UM, WE WILL ALSO, I THINK, UM, BE ABLE TO OFFER NEIGHBORHOODS THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH US TO KIND OF CUSTOMIZE 'EM. 
          'CAUSE NOT EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME KIND OF, UM, UM, ISSUES IN TERMS OF, UH, PROPERTY MAINTENANCE. 
          [01:15:01]
SO MORE TO COME ON THAT VERY SOON, PROBABLY, AGAIN, WITHIN THE NEXT SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS OR SO. 
          THAT'S PERFECT. 
          I LIKE THAT. 
          UM, AND ONE OTHER SUGGESTION, SPEAKING OF, UH, AWARENESS, UM, IN THE EDUCATIONAL, UH, PART OF THAT IS MAYBE CREATING, I MEAN, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE A, UM, A HARD COPY PACKAGE, BUT MAYBE SOME TYPE OF KIT, UM, THAT'S ELECTRONIC TO SHOW PEOPLE IF THEY WANT TO, YOU KNOW, PURCHASE TO DO THESE THINGS FOR WATER CONSERVATIONS. 
          WHETHER IT'S SOAKER HOSES AROUND THE, THE, UH, FOUNDATION, UH, ADDING SPECIFIC TYPES OF SPRINKLER HEADS. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          UM, I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS, AND I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM, BUT MAYBE WE PROVIDE BACK TO VISUALS AGAIN, BECAUSE WE JUST ASSUME PEOPLE KNOW SOMETIMES AND THEY DON'T. 
          BUT PROVIDING A KIT, I'M NOT SAYING WE HAVE TO SELL THEM AS A KIT, BUT WE PROVIDE A, UH, INSPIRATION KIT PACKAGE WHERE THEY CAN GO OUT AND PURCHASE THESE ON THEIR OWN. 
          UM, AND MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT DOES, YOU KNOW, THE CITY GETS INVOLVED WITH AT A LATER DATE. 
          BUT FOR NOW, AT LEAST START OFF WITH SOME KIND OF VISUALS THAT MIGHT HELP. 
          AND THAT WAS JUST MY SUGGESTION ON THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU MR. BARRIOS. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UH, BEFORE I ASK ERIC A COUPLE QUESTIONS, I WANNA, UM, KIND OF SIMILAR ALONG WHAT COUNCILMAN DORIAN WAS SAYING. 
          UM, DAWN, I KNOW I'VE MENTIONED THIS, I DON'T KNOW, A FEW MONTHS AGO. 
          I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT WE'RE TALKING, I KNOW, I KNOW I MENTIONED THE, UM, BIG GREAT, IF I, I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS OF IT, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE INCENTIVES TO ENCOURAGE REDEVELOPMENT OF HOMES AND STUFF. 
          IT'D BE GREAT IF WE CAME UP WITH SOME KIND OF INCENTIVE OR SOMETHING TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DO MORE, UH, NATIVE ZERO ESCAPING SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DROUGHT RESISTANT OR, UM, DROUGHT TOLERANT, SOMETHING THAT'S MORE, I GUESS WATER FRIENDLY. 
          UM, AND I, I'M BY NO MEANS A WATER OR GARDENING EXPERT, SO I DON'T KNOW. 
          BUT, UH, I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN MENTIONED TO ME A COUPLE TIMES BY DIFFERENT PEOPLE OVER THE LAST YEAR. 
          UM, AND I THINK IT'S AT LEAST WORTH LOOKING AT. 
          SEE IF MAYBE WE JUST AS ANOTHER STEP IN, UH, PROMOTING WATER CONSERVATION, IF, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT WAY FOR THE CITY AS A WHOLE TO KIND OF ENCOURAGE THINGS. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WATER MANY TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR, UM, BUT YOU KNOW, WHEN WE LOOK AT THINGS LIKE PARKS OR LIBRARY PROGRAMS OR OTHER PROGRAMS, ALL THESE AMAZING DEPARTMENTS DO, WE CAN, UM, JUST LOOK AT KIND OF WATER CONSERVATION THROUGHOUT THE BOARD. 
          YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S RAIN BARRELS OR, AND I THINK SOMEBODY MENTIONED THERE WAS PERHAPS, I DUNNO IF IT WAS JENNIFER, SOMEBODY WAS TELLING ME ONE TIME THAT I THINK AT ONE POINT WE DID DO A RAIN BARREL, UM, KIND OF BUILD YOUR OWN RAIN BARREL WATER CATCHING SYSTEM. 
          BUT I THINK IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN THE BACK OF OUR MIND AND, UH, MAYBE LOOK AT WHAT KIND OF OPPORTUNITIES EXIST, UM, OR WE CAN FURTHER ENCOURAGE THAT IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          BUT ERIC, I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS ABOUT SLIDE 15. 
          I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING ALL THIS SO THAT OKAY. 
          UH, THESE STAGE ONE, TWO, AND THREE, THESE ARE SET BY US AS A CITY OR THESE STAGES I DEFINED BY NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT. 
          THEY'RE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM NORTH TEXAS MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT. 
          THEY'RE RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          DOES THAT GO ALONG WITH THE INITIATION AND TERMINATION? THOSE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS AS WELL? CORRECT. 
          SO WHAT, AGAIN, JUST SO I UNDERSTAND, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAYBE A MORE, A LOWER NUMBER FOR INITIATION AND TERMINATION NOVEMBER THROUGH MARCH? I'M GUESSING IT HAS AND VERSUS HIGHER. 
          AND THIS SUMMER, IS THAT, SO YOU'RE DEMAND GET MORE RAIN IN NOVEMBER THROUGH MARCH, IS IT? SO YOUR IRRIGATION DEMANDS ARE GONNA BE LOWER. 
          PEOPLE AREN'T GONNA BE WATERING, IT'S NOT GONNA BE AS HOTTER TYPICALLY. 
          UM, THEN YOUR EVAPORATION RATE IN THE LAKE'S GONNA BE LOWER 'CAUSE IT'S NOT GONNA BE 105 DEGREES. 
          UM, SO BASED OFF OF THOSE SEASONAL IMPACTS, I GUESS, UH, THEY DETERMINE THAT THE INITIATION OF 60% DURING THOSE MONTHS IS A MORE APPROPRIATE LEVEL. 
          OKAY. 
          SO BASICALLY THEY'RE SAYING IT, IT LASTS LONGER. 
          WE CAN GO LONGER WITHOUT REFILLING. 
          UH, SO WE CAN DO MORE WITH LESS DURING THOSE, DURING THOSE MONTHS. 
          YEAH. 
          AND WE'RE ALSO, IT'S THE WATER RESTRICTIONS. 
          SO THE SAME PLAN, UH, NOVEMBER TO MARCH IS ONCE A WEEK WATERING VERSUS TWO TIMES A WEEK. 
          SO YOU'RE CUTTING YOUR IRRIGATION, ALLOWABLE IRRIGATION IN HALF. 
          UM, YOU HAVE COOLER BUNS, UH, YOU KNOW, AND HOPEFULLY YOU'RE, YOU'RE GETTING RAIN DURING THOSE MONTHS AS WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          YEAH, I WAS WONDERING IF THAT HAD TO DO WITH TEMPERATURE PREPARATION. 
          UM, THE FIVE TIER AND I, 
          [01:20:01]
THE, UH, FIVE TIER OH, RATES BASED ON USAGE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S ON THE BILL? OR HOW DO, UM, I'LL BE HONEST, MY WIFE HANDLES THAT AND, UH, SHE, SHE TAKES CARE OF, MAKES SURE THOSE GET PAID. 
          BUT I'M, I'M JUST CURIOUS, ARE THOSE ON THE BILL? HOW DO, UM, I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S ON THE BILL. 
          IT'S ON OUR WEBSITE. 
          CERTAINLY IT'S NOT. 
          SO WHEN YOU GO TO LOOK AT OUR RATE STRUCTURE, IT'LL SAY, YOU KNOW, ZERO TO A THOUSAND RATE, UH, THOUSAND TO 10,000 RATE, YOU KNOW, SOME I MAY NOT GETTING EXACTLY RIGHT. 
          BUT IN THAT, THAT'S HOW IT'S TIERED. 
          AND SO THAT RATE GOES UP THE MORE USAGE YOU USE, DO WE HAVE A SPECIFIC WATER CONSERVATION LANDING PAGE, OR IS THAT YEAH, IF YOU GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND YOU LOOK, YOU CAN GO TO DEPARTMENTS, UH, WATER AND SEWER. 
          UH, THERE'S A WATER CONSERVATION TAB, WHICH TAKES YOU TO A LOT OF THE LIST TO LIST THESE RESOURCES. 
          UM, AND THEN THERE'S TABS THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT RATE, THAT'LL LINK YOU TO CUSTOMER SERVICES PAGE. 
          SO THERE'S, YEAH, THERE'S CERTAINLY LINKS ON OUR WEBSITE. 
          IT SERVES AS A HUB. 
          OKAY. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU MS. JUSTICE. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          SORRY, I, I FORGOT TO, TO MENTION JUST, YOU KNOW, I, WE HAD A COG MEETING LAST WEEK, AND SO WE TALKED, THEY TALKED A LOT ABOUT WATER CONSERVATION AND, AND, AND, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. 
          THERE WAS A SLIGHT MENTION AND SORT OF THE OPENING COMMENTS ABOUT THE REGIONAL APPROACH. 
          I'M CURIOUS WHAT, YOU KNOW, IN YOUR POSITION YOU DO TO SORT OF REACH OUT TO THE OTHER, UH, MEMBER CITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S, OR DO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S A CONSISTENCY IN MESSAGING THAT, YOU KNOW, IS PLANO GOING TO, YOU KNOW, DO, DO THEY HAVE A SIMILAR PLAN OR IS IT CONFUSING FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE MOVING FROM OTHER CITIES? YOU KNOW, HOW, HOW DO WE, UM, SORT OF MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN OTHER CITIES? WE'RE ALSO COORDINATING WITH THEM, RIGHT? SO ONE OF THE, I SIT ON THE WATER RESOURCE COUNCIL FOR THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS COUNCIL GOVERNMENT. 
          SO WE OBVIOUSLY TALK ABOUT JUST WATER RESOURCES THERE. 
          SO SOME OF THAT INFORMATION IS SHARED, UM, WITH THE BIG WATER PERMITS IN, IN THAT, THAT SETTING. 
          UM, BUT AGAIN, THE WATER EFFICIENCY NETWORK, I'VE MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, ALL OF OUR EDUCATORS, IF YOU WILL, OR ALTHOUGH THAT ARE INVOLVED IN ANY OF OUR OUTREACH PROGRAM, UM, ATTEND THOSE REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETINGS. 
          AND WE HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS PLANO DOING? YOU KNOW, WHAT IS FRISCO DOING? WHAT IS MC RIGHT? ALL THE, WITHIN THE REGION. 
          UM, BUT THEN IT'S A REGIONAL EFFORT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL DOING SIMILAR THINGS FROM A NORMAL CONSERVATION TWICE A WEEK WATERING. 
          UM, I THINK THAT WAS A NEW MESSAGING IN 19 WHERE IT BECAME THE NEW NORMAL. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I THINK NOW EVERYBODY JUST KIND OF ACCEPTS THAT AS, AS PRACTICE. 
          YEAH. 
          SO, UM, I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION, BUT YEAH, IT DOES. 
          SO I MEAN, IT'S A COMPONENT OF WHAT YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IN YOUR PLAN. 
          I MEAN, YOU, YOU ARE INTENTIONAL ABOUT MAKING, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A REGIONAL COORDINATION HERE, I GUESS IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ALREADY. 
          UM, AND, AND ERIC, I MEAN, THE, THE DISTRICT HOLDS QUARTERLY MEETINGS WITH ALL OF THE MEMBER CITIES. 
          SO IT MEANS REALLY START AT THE DISTRICT. 
          THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE CALLING, UH, QUARTERLY MEETINGS WITH ALL THE MEMBER CITIES, ENSURING THAT THERE'S CONSISTENCY. 
          AND THEN OUR DISTRICT WITH THE OTHER FOUR LARGEST WATER DISTRICTS IN THE REGION HAVE A COUNCIL THAT THEY'VE AGREED TO, AGAIN, BACK TO 2019, WHEN YOU STARTED SEEING A LOT OF THE WATER OTTER AND THE TWICE A WEEK, THE NEW NORMAL, ALL OF THAT CAMPAIGN. 
          SO THERE'S BEEN HIGH COORDINATION. 
          UM, IT WAS REALLY THE DROUGHT OF, UM, IT WAS REALLY THAT THAT DROUGHT OF, OF 11 AND 12, THAT IT WAS VERY CONFUSING. 
          'CAUSE DALLAS WATER UTILITIES AT THAT TIME WERE, THEY WERE NOT IN NEAR THE SITUATION THAT NORTH TEXAS WAS. 
          AND SO YOU HAD PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF KOTT WATERING ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SCHEDULE. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND FOLKS IN RICHARDSON COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT, AND THAT THAT HAPPENED ALL AROUND NORTH TEXAS. 
          THAT WAS REALLY THE LESSON LEARNED THAT THERE HAD TO BE A REGIONAL, THERE HAD TO BE A REGIONAL APPROACH. 
          I, I'M CONFIDENT THAT, UM, ALL OF THE NORTH TEXAS CITIES ON ALL THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THIS, ALL OF THE NORTH TEXAS CITIES ARE ADHERING TO THIS. 
          I MEAN, NO ONE WANTS TO, TO RISK RUNNING A FOUL AND, AND, AND PUTTING THE DISTRICT IN JEOPARDY WITH ITS PERMIT STATUS FOR THE, FOR THE RESERVOIR. 
          YEAH. 
          I MEAN, IT'S NOT EVEN THE, THE STAGES THOUGH. 
          I MEAN MM-HMM. 
           IT JUST, LIKE YOU SAID, TWICE A WEEK, WATERING IS THE CONSISTENT MESSAGING THROUGHOUT THE REGION. 
          WHAT ABOUT THESE, UH, THREE THAT WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT ADDING? UM, IS THAT GOING TO BE CONSISTENT ACROSS THE REGION? DO WE NEED TO, I GUESS, ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME HERE FOR THESE STAGE TWO, THREE AND ADDITIONS? SO, SO AGAIN, EACH CITY CAN MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION. 
          IT'S A RECOMMENDATION, NOT A REQUIREMENT FROM THE DISTRICT. 
          YEAH. 
          WE, WE FEEL THESE ARE SOUND RECOMMENDATIONS YEAH. 
          THAT WE WOULD, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD ENCOURAGE TO INCLUDE IN OUR PLAN. 
          AND I THINK WITH Y'ALL'S DIRECTION, I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GONNA DO. 
          SO, UM, BUT AGAIN, IT'S A, IT'S A, IT'S A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE DISTRICT, UM, BASED ON THEIR MODEL PLAN AND WHAT THEY PROVIDED FOR EACH MEMBER CITY. 
          AND THEN EACH MEMBER CITY MAKES THOSE DECISIONS. 
          SO, UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT ALL OF THEM WILL FOLLOW THE SUIT AND MAKE SURE IT'S IN THEIR PLAN. 
          UM, BUT WE CERTAINLY THINK THESE ARE APPROPRIATE. 
          YEAH, NO, I, I, I AGREE WITH YOU. 
          THEY, THEY CERTAINLY ARE. 
          I JUST, I WOULD DON'T WANT US TO RUN INTO AN ISSUE LIKE YOU JUST DESCRIBED, RIGHT? MM-HMM. 
           WHERE, WHERE RICHARDSON'S LIKE, WELL, WE'RE SHUTTING DOWN ALL OUR POOLS AND ALL OF OUR, YOU KNOW, UM, UH, WATER CANNONS AND ALL THAT SORT OF STUFF. 
          AND THEN ACROSS CO IN DALLAS, THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST FELT THEIR WATER FOUNTAINS ARE GLORIOUS AND WONDERFUL AND, YOU KNOW, FOLKS ARE ASKING US QUESTIONS ABOUT 
          [01:25:01]
IT. 
          SO I, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE NEEDS TO BE, BUT, BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT, THAT'S REALLY A DIFFERENT ISSUE BECAUSE THIS IS THE WATER, THIS IS NORTH TEXAS WATER INDUSTRY. 
          RIGHT, I UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          SO, YEAH. 
          BUT DALLAS WATER UTILITIES MAY NOT BE IN A DROUGHT YEAH. 
          WHEN WE'RE IN A DROUGHT, SO IT'S, YEAH. 
          I MEAN, YES, YES AND NO. 
          THEY MIGHT HAVE MORE SUPPLY THAN WE, WE HAVE, BUT I MEAN, IT'S STILL A REGIONAL ISSUE, I THINK FROM, UH, YOU KNOW, A CONSERVATION STANDPOINT. 
          SO, I MEAN, EVEN IF THEY, THEY HAVE MORE SUPPLY THAN WE DO IN, IN OUR WATER DISTRICT MM-HMM. 
          YOU KNOW, IT STILL SEEMS TO MAKE SENSE THAT, WELL, I, I JUST DON'T WANNA GIVE YOU THE IMPRESSION THAT JUST IF THE DISTRICT IS IN DROUGHT, BECAUSE THESE, THESE RESERVOIRS ARE AT THAT LEVEL AND OTHER WATER DISTRICTS ARE NOT, THAT THEY'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT STAGE THREE OR STAGE TWO OR STAGE ONE. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          I MEAN THAT'S, THAT'S A, THAT'S FAIR. 
          UM, I WOULD JUST HOPE THAT, THAT IF WE ARE IN A SITUATION THAT, THAT WE HAVE A REGIONAL COORDINATION ON IF WE ALL ARE IN STAGE THREE, THAT WE ARE ALL DOING THESE THINGS. 
          AND I UNDERSTAND THESE ARE ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT I WOULD HOPE SORT OF IN YOUR POSITION ON THE BOARD, THAT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ENCOURAGING CONSISTENCY, UM, 'CAUSE I MEAN, THESE ARE, I THINK, REALLY GREAT TO ADD AND I THINK WE NEED THAT ACROSS THE BOARD. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU MR. COR. 
          UH, A LOT OF THE DISCUSSION THAT JUST HAPPENED ACTUALLY ANSWERS MOST OF MY QUESTIONS. 
          SO IT WAS REALLY, NO, IT'S REALLY GOOD. 
          'CAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THE REALLY, THE GALLONS, THE G UH, GPCD METRIC, RIGHT? UM, AND, UH, PER CAP. 
          YEAH. 
          THE, UM, AND YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST KIND OF WONDERING LIKE WHAT'S THE, SO WHAT BEHIND THE GOALS, LIKE IF WE DON'T HIT THEM, OKAY, SO WHAT, RIGHT. 
          AND I THINK THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF PUBLIC OR A LOT OF PUBLIC SHAMING THAT GOES ON, RIGHT? IF WE'RE IN A DROUGHT SITUATION OR WITH THE 2036, YOU KNOW, FOR THE, AT LEAST FOR THE NORTH TEXAS WATERS FOR THAT 20, 36 NUMBER THAT KEEPS GETTING MENTIONED. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I, I CAN KIND OF SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE NOW. 
          HEY, SO IF WE DON'T HIT OUR 10 YEAR GOAL, THE OTHER CITIES AND OTHER CITIES IN THE DISTRICT DO, RIGHT? THEY, THEY PROBABLY COME TO US AND SAY, WOW, RICHARDSON. 
          LIKE, WHY AREN'T YOU, WHY AREN'T YOU WORKING AS HARD AS WE ARE TO DO THIS? AND A LITTLE BIT OF PUBLIC SHAMING. 
          WOULD YOU THINK IT'S SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD  YEAH. 
          I MEAN THAT, THAT OCCUR IN THE QUARTERLY MEETINGS. 
          I MEAN THE, THE, THE, UH, DOES IT REALLY? OKAY. 
          THEY'RE ONE OF THE MAIN, UH, PIECES OF INFORMATION THAT THE DISTRICT SHARES WITH US, UH, WHETHER IT'S MY MONTHLY MANAGER MEETING OR THEIR QUARTERLY MEETINGS MM-HMM. 
           IS, UM, WHO'S EXCEEDING THEIR TAKE OR PAY? WHO'S, BY WHAT PERCENT ARE THEY EXCEEDING IT? OKAY. 
          AND, AND SO ABSOLUTELY. 
          I MEAN, THERE'S A, UM, THERE'S A LOT OF ATTENTION BEING PAID. 
          IT'S A VERY DYNAMIC THING THOUGH. 
          I MEAN, ERIC'S RIGHT? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THAT FIVE YEAR AVERAGE, I MEAN, LOOK AT THE RESIDENTIAL FIVE YEAR AVERAGE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , WE'VE BEEN IN A, IN A, IN A VERY, VERY FORTUNATE POSITION, THINK ABOUT THE LAST THREE YEARS OF THAT. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , THAT FIVE YEAR AVERAGE. 
          IT'S BEEN VERY WET FOR TEXAS AND FOR NORTH TEXAS IN PARTICULAR, IF YOU CAN, I MEAN, THAT COULD CHANGE OVERNIGHT BECAUSE THE DEMAND FOR IRRIGATION AND PEOPLE WANTING TO MAKE SURE THEIR FOUNDATIONS AND THEIR, THEIR, THEIR TREES OR, YOU KNOW, ASSETS TO THEM ARE TAKING CARE OF, IF WE HAD, IF WE HAD THE EXACT OPPOSITE WHERE THE THREE OF THE LAST FIVE YEARS WE WOULD'VE BEEN IN A SIGNIFICANT, UH, UH, DROUGHT OR EVEN, YOU KNOW, COMING UP TOWARDS THE DROUGHT, THAT NUMBER WOULD BE A LOT HIGHER BASED ON NOTHING THAT, THAT WE'VE DONE DIFFERENT. 
          IT'S JUST PEOPLE TRYING TO MAINTAIN, YOU KNOW, THEIR HOMES AND THEIR PROTECT THEIR ASSETS. 
          MM-HMM. 
           AND PROTECT PROTECT THEIR PROPERTY. 
          AND SO IT'S, IT'S EXTREMELY FLUID AND BASED ON OFF, JUST LIKE WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT IN OUR OWN WATER FUND. 
          IT'S, IT'S NOT, IT'S WEATHER PATTERNS. 
          IT'S, IT'S, IT'S HOW YOU KNOW, MUCH RAIN WE GET, UM, THAT REALLY IS GONNA DICTATE, IT'S GONNA BE THE LARGEST DRIVER ON THAT, THE POPULATION GROWTH AND THE INDUSTRIAL USE. 
          WE CAN PREDICT THAT. 
          'CAUSE WE HAVE GOOD ESTIMATES. 
          WHAT THAT'LL TAKE, IT'S REALLY GONNA BE THE WEATHER PATTERNS THAT SWING, WHETHER THAT THAT SWING, WHETHER WE COME CLOSE TO THESE OR NOT, THESE, THESE ESTIMATES OR NOT. 
          THE ONE 17 WHEN WE DID SINCE 19, THAT WAS, I THINK THAT WAS A VERY REAL, THAT WAS A VERY REALISTIC, I'M, I'M CONVINCED THE ONLY REASON WE'RE 30 BELOW THAT IS BECAUSE OF THIS, THESE, THESE NICE WET YEARS WE'VE HAD. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , UM, THE PAST THREE YEARS. 
          IT'S, IT'S REALLY SWUNG THE AVERAGE. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, I WANNA GET BACK TO COUNCILMAN HU TO YOUR, YOUR QUESTION IN THE WATER. 
          UM, IN THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN, IT SAYS THAT ALL OF THE RESTRICTIONS IN THE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN, WHICH IS THE NON DROUGHT PLAN, UH, SHALL, SHALL CONTINUE. 
          AND WHAT'S REQUIRED, AND, AND I RECALL THIS FROM, FROM BOTH OF THE, I'M SORRY, EXCUSE ME. 
          I RECALL THIS FROM BOTH OF THE PRIOR PLANS. 
          UM, YOU CAN WASH YOUR CAR, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVE. 
          AND I THINK THERE'S A RECOGNITION THAT, YOU KNOW, FROM TIME TO TIME YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, IF, IF THIS WAS AN EXTENDED PERIOD, THAT, YOU KNOW, FOLKS MIGHT NEED TO DO THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS, YOU KNOW, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY COULD SEE CLEARLY AND THAT KIND OF THING. 
          AND SO THAT WOULD, THAT'S WHAT THE, THE, THE, THAT WOULD BE IN ANY STAGE OF THE WATER, UH, OF THE, UH, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN, ONE, TWO, OR THREE. 
          YOU COULD WASH YOUR CAR, BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A SHUTOFF VALVE SO THAT IT COULDN'T JUST RUN THE WHOLE TIME. 
          YOU KNOW, YOU'D SPRAY IT, WASH IT, BUT THROUGH, THROUGH THAT WHOLE TIME, THE WATER WOULDN'T BE RUNNING, THEN YOU WOULD JUST WA WASH IT OFF AGAIN. 
          UM, I DON'T RECALL ANYTHING MORE, UM, KIND OF RESTRICTIVE THAN THAT, DO YOU? NO. 
          [01:30:01]
YEAH. 
          THAT, SO THAT, THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD BE UNDER, UNDER THE PLAN THAT'S HERE BEFORE YOU. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ERIC, YOU'RE GONNA GO TO THE LAST SLIDE, I THINK. 
          NEXT STEPS. 
          YEAH, JUST NEXT STEPS. 
          SO WE COUNCIL BRIEFING TONIGHT. 
          UH, AND THEN APRIL 8TH WE'LL PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC INPUT. 
          UM, AND THE DRAFT PLANS WILL BE SUBMITTED. 
          UM, AND THEN APRIL 22ND, THE FINAL PLANS WILL BE ON THE COUNCIL JENNIFER CONSIDERATION. 
          AND THEN MAY 1ST WE'LL MAKE SURE ALL THE FINAL PLANS ARE POSTED PER PUBLIC NOTIFICATIONS. 
          SO COUNSEL ON THAT EIGHTH, IT WON'T BE A, UH, PUBLIC HEARING PER SE. 
          WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL POST IT AS AN AGENDA ITEM. 
          UM, IT'LL JUST BE KIND OF LIKE A, A, A, UM, FOCUSED, UM, UM, COMMENT, VISITOR COMMENT SECTION, UM, TO MEET THE, THE STATE REQUIREMENT. 
          BUT THERE WON'T, IT WON'T BE A PUBLIC HEARING, IT WON'T BE OPERATED LIKE THAT. 
          WE'LL JUST HAVE IT AS AGENDA ITEM. 
          AND THEN SUBSEQUENT TO ANY PUBLIC COMMENT YOU MIGHT RECEIVE IN RESPONSE TO THIS, YOU WOULD THEN HAVE THE CHANCE TO DELIBERATE AMONGST YOURSELVES IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT YOU HEARD THAT YOU WANTED TO FACTOR IN AND, AND GIVE US ADDITIONAL DIRECTION, YOU CAN DO THAT. 
          GREAT. 
          ERIC, GREAT PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU, COUNSEL. 
          GOOD QUESTIONS.
