          UH, THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          AND, UM, I THINK, UH, AMY, YOU'RE GONNA HELP US WITH THIS, UH, FORWARD THE SLIDES FOR US. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, UH, MAYOR AND COUNSEL. 
          UM, IT IS, UM, IMPORTANT NIGHT HERE IN THE LONG, UH, PROCESS THAT WE'VE BEEN UNDER, UH, THAT WE'VE UNDERTAKEN HERE FOR THE CHARTER REVIEW, UM, PROCESS. 
          UM, TONIGHT WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS, UM, UH, REALLY THREE THINGS. 
          ONE IS TO REVISIT, UM, THREE, UH, PRIOR QUESTIONS THAT WERE LEFT, UH, OPEN-ENDED. 
          UM, WE'VE PROVIDED YOU WITH SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, UH, THAT WAS RESPONSIVE TO SOME OF YOUR CURIOSITIES AND SOME OF THE, UH, ADDITIONAL DATA POINTS THAT YOU NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A AN INFORMED DECISION IN THAT WAY. 
          WE'VE GOT ONE ISSUE THAT HAS EMERGED SUBSEQUENT TO, UH, THE CONCLUSION OF THE 89TH LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT, THAT WE'D LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH YOU. 
          UH, ONCE WE, UH, HAVE CLARITY AROUND THOSE FOUR ISSUES, I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO OUR CITY ATTORNEY, PETE SMITH. 
          UM, WHAT PETE HAS DONE IS TAKEN, UH, WHAT AMOUNTS TO ABOUT 47 OR SO POTENTIAL PROPOSITIONS, UH, AND HE HAS DRAFTED, UM, UM, UM, PROPOSITIONS, UH, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, UM, THAT ARTICULATE, UM, THE CHANGES THAT WERE RECOMMENDED TO YOU AND THAT YOU SUBSEQUENTLY KIND OF BLESSED, UM, FOR, UM, UH, THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER. 
          UH, PETE'S GOING TO START HIS PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION BY EXPLAINING TO YOU WHY, UH, HE'S, UH, DRAFTED THOSE, UH, PROPOSITIONS, THE WAY HE HAS THEIR LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS AS WELL AS BEST PRACTICES. 
          UH, WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS RUN THROUGH THOSE, UH, PRESENT, UH, THOSE PROPOSITIONS. 
          UM, NOT ALL PROPOSITIONS ARE CREATED EQUALLY. 
          UH, SOME ARE, UH, RATHER STRAIGHTFORWARD, UH, GRAMMATICAL, UH, CORRECTIONS, FOR INSTANCE. 
          AND SO WE CAN, UH, BE PITHY ON THOSE. 
          AND THEN, UH, THERE ARE ABOUT A DOZEN OR SO THAT WE'VE ASKED PETE TO PAUSE AND THEN TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME EXPLAINING THE RATIONALE BEHIND THE PROPOSITION, AS WELL AS REMINDING YOU, UH, OF THE, OF THE, UH, CHANGE, UM, IF WE HAVE, UH, CLARITY AND CONSENSUS, UM, AROUND ALL THE PROPOSITIONS AT THE END HERE. 
          WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS, UH, CHANGE, UH, OUR FOCUS AND START LOOKING FORWARD, UH, TO YOU, UH, UH, POTENTIALLY CALLING AN ELECTION ON AUGUST 11TH, AND THEN A, UH, ROBUST COMMUNICATION PLAN STARTING ON AUGUST 12TH, UM, HELPING VOTERS GET, UH, ACQUAINTED WITH THE CHANGE, THE PROPOSED CHANGES, AS WELL AS, UM, THE, UH, THE ELECTION PROCESS. 
          SO THAT'LL BE, UM, THAT'LL BE THE, UH, THE APPROACH WE TAKE TONIGHT. 
          I DO WANNA MENTION THAT AS YOU GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATIONS, THE PROPOSITION PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION THAT PETE WILL BE COVERING, UH, YOU'LL NOTICE, UH, SOME TEXT HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW AND SOME TEXT HIGHLIGHTED IN RED. 
          UM, WE'VE, UH, CONTINUED TO WORK SINCE WE PRESENTED YOU THIS DRAFT PRESENTATION. 
          UH, CONTINUE TO WORK OVER THE WEEKEND. 
          AND SO, UM, IN JUST A SELECT FEW INSTANCES, YOU'LL SEE A YELLOW TEXT THAT, OR A YELLOW HIGHLIGHT OVER TEXT THAT IS GOING TO INDICATE A CHANGE IN THE PROPOSITION LANGUAGE THAT YOU SAW PREVIOUSLY WHEN WE DELIVERED THIS POWERPOINT PRESENTATION TO YOU. 
          THAT'S JUST THROUGH, UH, ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION OVER THE WEEKEND REFINEMENT TODAY, AS WE'VE MET AS A TEAM. 
          UH, THE RED, UM, UM, HIGHLIGHTED TEXT ARE ACTUALLY CHANGES IN THE, UH, CHARTER ITSELF. 
          SO YOU'VE SEEN SEVERAL RED LINES, YOU'VE SEEN ADDITIONS, SUBTRACTIONS, AND SO YOU'LL NOTICE THESE ARE ALL VERY MINOR BUT WORTH, WORTH, UM, UM, MAKING A NOTE OF AND WORTH MAKING THE CHANGES AS WE PREPARE TO, UH, POTENTIALLY FORWARD THIS TO VOTERS FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION. 
          SO, UH, THAT'LL BE OUR, OUR APPROACH TO TONIGHT. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE THE NEW LEGISLATION, UM, THAT, UH, WE'RE REFERRING TO IS, UH, SB 1494. 
          THIS ALLOWED, UH, ESSENTIALLY CHANGE THE ELECTION CODE TO ALLOW A GOVERNING BODY TO CHANGE THE DATE OF THEIR GENERAL ELECTION FOR OFFICERS, UH, FOR COUNCIL, UH, TO THE NOVEMBER UNIFORM ELECTION DATE IN ODD YEARS. 
          UH, SO THAT WOULD BE A CHANGE FOR MAY. 
          THAT CHANGE MUST BE MADE BY THE END OF THIS YEAR, DECEMBER 31ST, 2025. 
          UH, THAT CHANGE CAN BE FACILITATED IN TWO WAYS. 
          IT COULD BE DONE SO THROUGH A CHARTER AMENDMENT OR, UH, IT COULD BE DONE SO THROUGH A COUN, UH, THROUGH A COUNCIL RESOLUTION. 
          UM, UM, AND, UM, UH, OBVIOUSLY IF A CHANGE WAS MADE, YOUR COUNCIL TERMS WOULD HOLD OVER THROUGH THE NOVEMBER, 2027 SO THAT, UH, THERE WOULD NO, THERE WOULDN'T BE AN ELECTION IN MAY OF 27. 
          WE PROVIDED YOU, UH, SEVERAL RESOURCES. 
          ONE IS A MEMO FROM OUR CITY ATTORNEY, PETE SMITH, UM, UH, PROVIDING A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL AROUND SB UH, 1494. 
          AND THEN, UH, SUBSEQUENT THERE IS A, UM, A, A, UH, ONE PAGER THAT WE'VE HANDED OUT THAT, UH, WAS GATHERED TODAY THAT, UH, LOOKS AT SOME OF THE CITIES THAT WE, UH, GENERALLY COMPARE OURSELVES TO MUNICIPAL ELECTION DATES AND ALL OF THE, UH, OTHER 12 CITIES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MESQUITE, UH, HAVE THE MAY ELECTION DATE FOR THEIR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS. 
          AND SO THAT'S THE, UH, UH, DOCUMENT THAT WE PRESENTED, UH, TO YOU HERE. 
          AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK, UH, MAYOR, THE FIRST PIECE OF CONSENSUS THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO TRY TO ACHIEVE WOULD BE, UH, IS THERE A COUNCIL, 
          [00:20:01]
UM, UH, IS THERE A DESIRE ON THE, BY THE COUNCIL TO, UH, EXPLORE A CHANGE TO THE NOVEMBER DATE? IF THAT IS THE CASE, UM, UM, I WOULD RECOMMEND TO YOU THAT YOU DO IT THROUGH A CHARTER AMENDMENT. 
          I THINK IT WOULD ONLY BE REASONABLE TO THINK THAT WE'RE GONNA, UH, CALL AN ELECTION AND HAVE SO MANY OTHER IMPORTANT ITEMS DISCUSSED. 
          UM, IF THERE WAS AN INTEREST TO MOVE TO THAT NOVEMBER DATE, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU, UH, USE THE CHARTER, UM, ELECTION TO DO SO. 
          BUT, UH, RESOLUTION IS WITHIN YOUR AUTHORITY TO, TO DO THAT AS WELL. 
          AND SO THAT WOULD BE UP TO YOU. 
          SO, BUT WE LOOK FOR SOME CONSENSUS AROUND THIS POINT BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ME COUNCIL MEMBERS WITH, UH, A THOUGHT ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER CORCORAN. 
          WELL, THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. 
          I MEAN, MY, HAVING KNOWN THIS IS COMING UP OVER THE WEEKEND AND GIVING IT SOME THOUGHT AND KNOWING THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE SEEN OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS IN OTHER CITIES REALLY DEBATE AND TALK ABOUT ONLINE. 
          I MEAN, THE ONLY, LEMME JUST PUT IT THIS WAY. 
          THE ONLY JUSTIFICATION I'VE SEEN FOR THIS BEFORE THE LEGISLATION WAS PASSED WAS COUNCIL MEMBERS IN SOME OF THE BIGGER CITIES WANTING THIS TO BE MORE OF A PARTISAN ELECTION. 
          SO, TO THAT END, I FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THE NON-PARTISAN ASPECT, WHICH IS WHY I'VE REALLY, I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT MAY WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO REALLY KEEP THAT TRADITION GOING WITHIN OUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER JUSTICE. 
          YEAH, I'LL JUST ECHO THOSE COMMENTS. 
          I AGREE. 
          I THINK WE LEAVE IT, UM, AS IT IS BECAUSE IT HELPS AVOID, UH, SORT OF NATIONAL RACES AND NATIONAL RHETORIC, UM, AND STATEWIDE FOR THAT MATTER. 
          UM, WHICH I DON'T THINK WE NEED, UH, INFILTRATING OUR ELECTIONS HERE IN RICHARDSON. 
          SO, UH, I'M IN FAVOR OF LEAVING IT AS IS MAYOR TIM HUTCHIN, RADER. 
          YEAH, ECHO EVERYTHING THAT HAS JUST BEEN SAID. 
          AND THEN I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS TRY TO MATCH OURSELVES TO CITIES, UM, THAT ARE EQUAL TO US AND OVERWHELMINGLY OBVIOUSLY, THAT THEY'VE ALL STAYED WITH MAY. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S JUST ONE MORE FEATURE THAT WE, WE ADD IN AS WELL. 
          SO I WOULD SAY THAT WE SHOULD STAY WITH MAY COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          DOREEN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I, I'M GONNA ECHO THE SAME THING. 
          I I, I'M REALLY SUPPORTING OUR MAY, UH, ELECTION, UH, CONTINUING THAT ALSO, UH, THAT, THAT ALLOWS US TO STAY ON TRACK, UH, WITH OUR BUDGET AND OUR, OUR, UH, OUR ANNUAL GOALS. 
          SO I'M IN SUPPORT OF MAY. 
          THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          HUM. 
          UH, WELL, WELL, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I AGREE. 
          WHAT JOE, JUST SO I'LL LEAVE IT THERE. 
          STAYING WITH ME. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          COUNCILMAN BARRIOS, YOU HAVE ANY OH, I SEE, I DO SEE A HAND UP. 
          SORRY ABOUT THAT. 
          YES, I, I, OBVIOUSLY I'M A MINORITY HERE, BUT I DO, I WOULD SUPPORT CHANGING TO FALL. 
          I THINK IT BRINGS SOME MORE, UH, ENGAGEMENT ALSO ANY, IN ANY RUNOFF SITUATIONS. 
          WE LIVE IN A CITY THAT'S ABOVE, UH, AVERAGE INCOME AND A LOT OF PEOPLE IN OUR CITY VACATION IN THE SUMMER. 
          AND IN CASES OF RUNOFFS IT, UH, I, I THINK THAT OUR CURRENT STATE OF ELECTIONS, UH, IT, IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET TURNOUT ON RUNOFFS AND TURNOUT. 
          SO I THINK ENGAGEMENT WOULD INCREASE, WHICH IS NEVER A BAD THING. 
          SO I WOULD SUPPORT TAKING IT TO THE FALL, BUT OBVIOUSLY I'M IN A MINORITY ON THAT ONE. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, I, I WOULD PROBABLY ACTUALLY BE, PROBABLY WITH THE REST OF YOU, WHICH IS, UH, THAT I ALSO APPRECIATE THE NONPARTISAN ASPECT OF THIS AS MUCH AS I THINK VOTER TURNOUT MAKES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SENSE, AND IT IS A GOOD ARGUMENT. 
          UH, I JUST, I THINK THE, THE PARTISANSHIP ANGLE DOES KIND OF WEIGH HEAVILY ON ME AS WELL. 
          SO, UM, I THINK YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH OF A CONSENSUS THERE. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          UH, THE NEXT ISSUE WAS, UH, SECTION 3 0 4, WHICH WAS COMPENSATION. 
          UM, WE HAD SOME VERY GOOD WORK DONE BY, UM, THE CHARTER COMMISSION ALONG THESE LINES, UH, THROUGH DISCUSSION. 
          UM, WE FOUND THAT, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE LOW END WOULD BE ABOUT 150, UH, DOLLARS PER MONTH IF YOU USED, UH, A CPI AND APPLIED THAT, UH, SINCE THE, UH, LAST, UH, CHARTER UPDATE, UH, THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE START OF THIS, UH, UH, 10 YEARS. 
          BUT BY THE TIME YOU, UH, KIND OF ACHIEVED, UH, MIDWAY OR TOWARDS THE END OF THAT 10 YEARS, $200 WOULD BE MORE IN LINE IF YOU CONTINUED TO, UH, APPLY THE CPI. 
          SO THE RECOMMENDATION, UH, BEFORE YOU WAS, UH, TO CHANGE THE CHARTER FOR $150 PER DIEM FOR EACH COUNCIL MEMBER, OR EACH COUNCIL MEETING, UH, ATTENDED WITH A MAXIMUM OF $7,800. 
          AND THEN ON JANUARY 1ST, 2030, INCREASING THAT TO $200 PER DIEM FOR EACH COUNCIL, UH, MEETING ATTENDED FOR A MAXIMUM OF $10,400. 
          AND SO, UH, MAYOR, AGAIN, JUST LOOKING TO, UM, GAIN CONSENSUS AROUND THIS, UH, STRATEGY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          WE PROBABLY SHOULD GET SOMETHING VERBAL FROM FROM YOU, SIR, BUT, UH, ANYBODY, UH, ANYBODY HAVE ANY OPPOSITION OF THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN? ALRIGHT, I'M SEEING NONE. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UH, NEXT UP ARE, UH, TWO, UH, UM, UH, SIMILAR, UH, QUESTIONS BEFORE THE COUNCIL. 
          UM, UH, FIRST I WANNA DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO, UH, THIS DOCUMENT THAT WE HAVE PROVIDED TO YOU, UH, WHICH PRESENTS TO YOU, UM, UH, BY, FOR OUR COMPARE COMPARISON CITIES, THE PERCENT OF REGISTERED VOTERS AND THE PERCENT, UH, VOTES 
          [00:25:01]
CAST, UH, BY CITY, UH, SOME CITIES USING, UH, I GUESS HERE WHAT, UH, SIX CITIES USED, UH, SEVEN CITIES USING, UH, PERCENT OF REGISTERED VOTERS OR VARIATION THEREOF, UH, WITH, UH, FOUR, USING THE PERCENT OF VOTES CAST, UH, GRAND PRAIRIE USING, UH, BOTH METHODS AND, AND, UM, LOOKING TO WHICHEVER IS HIGHER. 
          UM, ESSENTIALLY ON THE NEXT TWO SLIDES, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING, UH, TO GAIN CONSENSUS AROUND IS, UM, IS THE 10% NUMBER A NUMBER THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO, UH, STAY WITH? OR IS THERE A NUMBER EITHER LOWER OR HIGHER THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER? UM, UH, IN, IN LIEU OF THE 10%, AGAIN, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, UH, ALL OF THE CITIES THAT USE THE PERCENT OF REGISTERED VOTERS USING AT LEAST A 10% WITH, UH, FORT WORTH USING THE 20%. 
          AGAIN, GRAND PRAIRIE USING 15%, BUT AS OF WHICHEVER IS HIGHER, UH, AND USES THAT 40% OF THE VOTES CAST IF THAT NUMBER IS HIGHER. 
          SO, UM, I THINK THAT'S, UH, YOU SEE THE PROPOSITION'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. 
          WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR ONE NUMBER TO FILL IN AND, UM, SO WE'RE LOOKING, GAIN SOME CONSENSUS AROUND THAT. 
          MAYOR. 
          SURE. 
          SO I, I'LL JUST START WITH MY 2 CENTS AND LOVE TO HEAR THE COUNCIL AS WELL. 
          UM, PERSONALLY I'D LIKE TO SEE OUR RESIDENTS HAVE A LOUDER VOICE WHEN IT COMES TO THE OPPORTUNITY TO INITIATE, UH, A REFERENDUM, UH, OR AN INITIATIVE. 
          AND, AND FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, UM, UH, YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB GIVING US KIND OF WHAT OUR, UM, CORRESPONDING CITIES OR THE REFERENCE CITIES THAT WE NORMALLY LOOK AT. 
          AND YES, 10% IS THE LOWEST AND WE'RE IN THAT CATEGORY THE WAY WE ARE RIGHT NOW. 
          THAT SAID, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS OF CITIES THAT ARE ACTUALLY DOING IT BASED ON THE LAST VOTE AND THE PERCENTAGE OF THE LAST VOTE, I WANNA SAY THAT RANGE, AND I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME, BUT IT'S BETWEEN 20 AND 40% YES, SIR. 
          OF THE LAST VOTE. 
          SO IF WE TOOK BETWEEN 20 AND 40 AND WE TOOK THE HIGHEST END OF THAT, WHICH WAS 40, AND THEN WE TOOK THE HIGHEST TURNOUT WE'VE HAD IN A CITY ELECTION, WHICH WAS IN, IN RECENT TIMES, WHICH WAS THIS LAST CITY ELECTION AT 12,000 SOME ODD, UM, THAT WOULD ROUGHLY THE EQUIVALENT OF BETWEEN SEVEN AND 8% OF THE REGISTERED VOTERS THAT, UM, THAT, THAT SHOWED UP TO VOTE THERE. 
          SO FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I'D LIKE TO SEE IT, I LIKE IT BEING BASED ON THE TOTAL REGISTERED VOTERS BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A MORE STEADY NUMBER, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE THE PERCENTAGE LOWERED AND BASED ON KIND OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE REFERENCE OF THE PEOPLE WHO BASE IT ON THE PREVIOUS VOTE HISTORY, TO ME, THAT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FIVE AND 10, CALL IT SEVEN AND A HALF, UH, JUST FEELS LIKE A, A NUMBER THAT AT LEAST IS MORE ACHIEVABLE BY, UM, ARE RESIDENTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN, UH, STARTING THEIR OWN REFERENDUM. 
          BUT LOVE TO HEAR KIND OF ANY INPUT OR THOUGHTS FROM ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          OH, SORRY, COUNCILMAN BARRIOS. 
          I APOLOGIZE. 
          THE, UH, LITTLE YELLOW HAND, UH, DOESN'T SHOW UP AS BRIGHTLY FOR ME AS IT SHOULD, SO PLEASE GO AHEAD. 
          NO PROBLEM. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UM, MAYOR, I LIKE YOUR TRAIN OF THOUGHT ON THIS. 
          UM, INSTEAD OF JUST TAKING THE ONLY SUGGESTION I WOULD ADD TO THAT, UM, 'CAUSE I THINK WE'RE, WE'RE KIND OF THINKING IN THE SAME WAVE HERE, UM, IS INSTEAD OF JUST LOOKING AT THIS LAST ELECTION, WHICH WAS MUCH HIGHER, AND I BELIEVE THE FIRST ONE, UM, THAT YOU WERE ALSO PART OF WAS ALSO REALLY HIGH TURNING TURNOUT, BUT MAYBE LOOK AT THE LAST FIVE YEARS AVERAGE OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, UM, AND MAYBE COME UP WITH A PERCENTAGE OF THAT. 
          AND I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE THOSE NUMBERS IN FRONT OF ME. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF YOU DID. 
          SOUNDS LIKE YOU DID YOUR HOMEWORK THERE, BUT I DO LIKE WHERE YOU'RE HEADING WITH THAT. 
          I'M JUST WONDERING, INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT THE LAST, THIS LAST ELECTION, BUT WE ACTUALLY LOOK AT MAYBE THE LAST FIVE YEARS AND FIND AN AVERAGE THERE TO FIGURE OUT THE PERCENTAGE COUNCIL MEMBER JUSTICE. 
          YEAH, I JUST WANNA CLARIFY WHAT YOU'RE RECOMMENDING, MAYOR. 
          IT'S NOT BASED ON, UH, VOTES IN THE LAST ELECTION. 
          IT'S BASED ON QUALIFIED VOTER, BUT LOWERING THE PERCENTAGE, RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT. 
          MC BARRIO. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD CHANGE YOUR COMMENTS OR NOT. 
          'CAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT THINGS THERE. 
           NO, I, YEAH, THAT, SORRY, LET ME LOWER MY HAND. 
          I'M SORRY Y'ALL, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING THIS VIRTUALLY GETTING FIGURED, FIGURING IT OUT AS I GO. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, NO, IT, IT DOESN'T CHANGE OTHER THAN MAYBE IN DECIDING WHETHER IT'S 6% OR 8%, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT NUMBER, I THINK IS THE ONLY REASON I WOULD MENTION THAT. 
          BUT I DO LIKE WHAT, WHAT MAYOR IS SAYING, UM, AND KIND OF HIS TRAIN OF THOUGHT, HIS TRAIN OF THOUGHT ON THAT MAYOR PRO, TOM HUTCHEN RIDER, UH, DON, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE HAD AN INITIATIVE, INITIATIVE OR A REFERENDUM COME BACK? HAVE WE, ONE TIME THAT I KNOW OF, BUT HAS THERE BEEN MORE CITIZEN LED? CITIZEN LED? YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          I CAN'T . 
          YEAH. 
          AND THAT WAS TO, TO MAKE IT TO WHERE HE HAD A RECOLLECTION OF THE MAYOR. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S THE ONE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND AT THAT TIME IT WAS A 5%, 5% OF THE REGISTERED VOTERS IS WHAT THE NUMBER 
          [00:30:01]
WAS AT THAT TIME. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN DID HE GET MOVED IN IN 2015? YES, SIR. 
          2015. 
          OKAY. 
          TO 10%. 
          OKAY. 
          I I MEAN, BASED ON THAT, IT, IT, YOU KNOW, FEELS LIKE, I GUESS, UH, BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, MAYOR, THEN, I MEAN, COULD WE SETTLE ON 8%, SEVEN POINT A HALF, ROUNDED? MAKE IT EIGHT AND GO THAT DIRECTION? I'M OPEN TO WHATEVER SUGGESTION. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER CORCORAN, YOU WERE UP NEXT, I THINK. 
          NOPE, THAT SOUND MR. MAYOR? THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA. 
          OKAY. 
          SO SEVEN POINT A HALF, EIGHT, EIGHT. 
          IT'S FINE. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER, WO YES, I WOULD, I WOULD SUPPORT THAT 8%. 
          IT'S NOT THAT LOW, IT'S NOT THAT HIGH, BUT, YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT COUNCIL STAYS, UH, STABLE. 
          SO EIGHT WOULD BE SOMETHING PROBABLY BETTER. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER, DOREEN, I'M GONNA SUPPORT 8%. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL ALRIGHT. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH AMY. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO, UH, THANK YOU. 
          THE, THE, UH, THE LAST QUESTION IS ON, UH, SECTION 1808. 
          UM, WE'VE PROVIDED YOU WITH A, UH, MEMO FROM, UM, JOE BETH WELLS WITH EPIC, WHO'S OUR INSURANCE BROKER. 
          THEY'VE BEEN OUR INSURANCE BROKER SINCE 2019. 
          UM, YOU'VE HAD THIS AND TO, TO REVIEW. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, THE PROP, THE RECOMMENDATION THAT WE PUT BEFORE YOU, THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF AN EVOLUTION FROM, UH, WHAT THE CHARTER COMMISSION RECOMMENDED WAS THAT YOU SHALL REQUIRE THE CITY MANAGER, UM, AND, UH, AND OTHER, UH, CITY OFFICIALS, UM, TO HAVE A SURETY BOND, UNLESS, IN YOUR OPINION, UM, UM, AND YOU WOULD LIKE, IN ADDITION TO THAT OR IN LIEU OF THAT SURETY BOND, UH, FOR THE CITY TO OBTAIN A CRIME POLICY, ERRORS AND OMISSIONS LIABILITY OR OTHER APPROPRIATE, UH, INSURANCE COVERAGE. 
          UH, WHAT THE, UH, MEMO SAYS, UH, IN SUMMARY IS, UH, THAT IN, UH, THEIR PROFESSIONAL OPINION, UM, THAT THE CRIME POLICY THAT THE CITY HAS, UM, UH, COVERS, UH, ESSENTIALLY THE SAME, UM, UH, TYPES OF ISSUES THAT THE SURETY BOND WOULD COVER, BUT COVERS IT MORE EXTENSIVELY INTO A GREATER AND HIGHER LEVEL. 
          AND SO, UM, THE, THE PUNCHLINE HERE IS THAT THEY DON'T FEEL THAT THERE WOULD BE ANYTHING LOST, UH, IF THE SURETY BOND WAS NOT REQUIRED AND THE CRIMES POLICY WAS, WAS IN PLACE. 
          AND SO, UH, MAYOR, WE'RE JUST, UH, REALLY WANTING TO CONFIRM THAT THE PROPOSITION LANGUAGE THAT YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM, BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN HERE, UM, WHICH TIES BACK TO THE RECOMMENDATION THAT WE BELIEVE GIVES THE COUNCIL MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY, UH, IN DECIDING, UM, HOW TO MOVE FORWARD ON THIS POINT IS, UH, IS ACCEPTABLE. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          MAYOR PRO TIM HUTCHIN WRITER, I, I WOULD ACTUALLY SAY BASED ON THAT LETTER AND EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE LEARNED AT THIS POINT IN TIME, I WOULD ACTUALLY SAY WE DO AWAY WITH THE SURETY BOND AND, AND JUST REQUIRE THE, UM, IT'S CALLED A CRIME POLICY. 
          AM I SAYING THAT RIGHT? AND JUST REQUIRE THE CRIME POLICY? 'CAUSE IN MY MIND THAT COVERS EVERYONE, THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO, WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT EVERY YEAR. 
          WE JUST KEEP THAT IN PLACE. 
          UM, I THINK THE SURETY BOND IS KIND OF AN OLD INSTRUMENT IN ALL HONESTY. 
          IT'S PROBABLY OUTDATED AT THIS POINT IN TIME. 
          AND I KNOW THE CONCERN THAT CAME UP FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WAS BASICALLY WE JUST, THE SURETY BOND WAS ON YOU DON AS CITY MANAGER AND NOBODY ELSE. 
          SO I THINK IF WE DO THE CRIME POLICY, ELIMINATE THE SURETY BOND, HAVE THE CRIME POLICY FOR ALL, THEN I THINK WE'VE COVERED WHAT IT IS THAT, THAT THAT WAS THE CONCERN OUT THERE. 
          SO THAT'D BE MY RECOMMENDATION AND I I WOULD SUPPORT DOING THAT. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER DWAYNE. 
          YES. 
          I AND I, I THANK YOU. 
          I AND I AGREE THE SAME. 
          I THINK THE CRIME POLICY, UH, TAKES CARE OF ALL OF THAT. 
          IS THAT, UH, PART OF THE E AND O INSURANCE AS WELL? OR IS THAT STILL A SEPARATE, UH, PART OF THE INSURANCE? UH, THERE IS AN OMISSION. 
          IT'S SEPARATE POLICIES. 
          OKAY. 
          SEPARATE POLICY. 
          THOSE STILL, THAT'S STILL IN PLACE ALONG WITH THE CLIENT CRIME POLICY? YES. 
          TODAY IS, YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, AND I, I WOULD CERTAINLY SUPPORT THAT. 
          IT ELIMINATES THE SEVERITY BOND, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER JUSTICE. 
          YEAH, I, I HAVE NO CONCERN WITH WHAT COUNCILMAN, UM, HUTCH WRITER SUGGESTED. 
          UM, JUST TO YOUR MOUTH, , UM, MY ONLY SUGGESTION IS THAT INSTEAD OF MAY, SHOULD IT BE SHALL, UH, IT'S A REQUIREMENT. 
          UM, I DON'T WANNA WORDSMITH IT, BUT I THINK THAT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT'S, THEY HAVE TO HAVE IT. 
          I THINK THE WAY WE READ THIS, AND WE'RE OPEN TO, TO FEEDBACK FOR SURE, IS THAT THE FINAL SENTENCE, THE ADDITION, EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS SHALL REQUIRE THE FINAL SET SENTENCE, ALLOWS THE COUNCIL TO OPT, UH, EITHER IN ADDITION TO OR IN LIEU OF THE SURETY BOND, IT ALLOWS, UH, IT ALLOWS THE COUNSEL TO DIRECT ME TO, UM, EN ENSURE THAT A CRIMES, UM, A CRIME, UM, POLICY IS IN PLACE. 
          THE WAY I READ THAT IS IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION YOU GIMME, THAT THE SURETY BOND IS NOT NECESSARY, BUT THE CRIME POLICY IS IN PLACE, THEN, UM, THAT WOULD BE, THAT WOULD BE SUFFICIENT. 
          UM, EVEN, EVEN THE WAY IT READS WITH SHALL BUT PETE, IS THERE ANY REASON WE, YEAH, I JUST MEAN IN THE PROPOSITION ITSELF, LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT SAYS WE MAY, IN ADDITION TO 
          [00:35:01]
REQUIRE, YOU KNOW, I I THINK IT'S GONNA BE AMENDED ANYWAY BASED ON WHAT'S BEEN RECOMMENDED HERE TONIGHT, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS CLEAR TO THE VOTERS THAT WE'RE REQUIRING A CRIME POLICY. 
          GOT IT. 
          YEAH. 
          I  YEAH, WE'RE REPEALING ONE SECTION THAT REQUIRES IT. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THEN WE WERE ADDING THAT REQUIREMENT INTO 1808, BUT ALSO ADDING INTO 1808, THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE INSURANCE COVERAGE IN LIEU OF THE SURETY BOND. 
          MM-HMM. 
          SO, SO, SO AS A POINT OF CLARIFICATION, IS IT THE COUNCIL'S DESIRE TO ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A SURETY BOND AND ONLY SAY IN 1808, UM, THAT IT WILL BE YOUR DISCRETION TO EITHER DIRECT ME TO OBTAIN A SURETY BOND OR TO OBTAIN THE CRIME POLICY WHERE I WAS COMING EITHER ORDER WHERE I WAS COMING FROM. 
          THE CONCERN WAS IS THE WAY THE CHARTER'S WRITTEN RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY THING THAT IS REQUIRED AS A SURETY BOND BOND ON YOU. 
          RIGHT. 
          THE CONCERNS THAT I HEARD WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE ONE, FOR EXAMPLE, ON KENT. 
          WE DON'T HAVE ONE ON MCC, UH, ON ALL THE REST OF YOUR STAFF, IF YOU WILL, OR, OR ANYONE ELSE. 
          AND SO MY UNDERSTANDING, WHAT, WHAT I THOUGHT WE WERE MOVING TOWARDS WAS TO ELIMINATE THE SURETY BOND JUST ON YOU AND NOT TRY, BECAUSE THE OTHER THING I HEARD WAS THAT IF YOU TRIED TO GET A SURETY BOND ON EACH AND EVERY WE'D, WE'D JUST HAVE TO SIT THERE AND COME UP WITH SOME LONG DEFINITION OF WHO ALL ARE WE GONNA PUT A SURETY BOND ON? AND THAT, THAT BECOMES VERY ONEROUS. 
          SO IF WE JUST SIMPLY WENT WITH A CRIME POLICY THAT COVERS, THAT COVERS THE CITY AND EMPLOYEES, THAT THAT WOULD BE MUCH MORE ENCOMPASSING AND ELIMINATE EVERYTHING ELSE THAT, THAT'S WHERE I THOUGHT WE WERE HEADED. 
          I, I I UNDER, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE WAY ROAD WORD WAY IT READS RIGHT NOW IS YOU'LL HAVE THAT OPPOSITE IF YOU WANNA ELIMINATE THE CTY BOND ALTOGETHER, AND WE'LL HAVE TO DO SOME FURTHER CHANGES TO THIS TEXT AND THAT. 
          AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR, WAS TO ELIMINATE THE SURETY BOND, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S AN OLD INSTRUMENT. 
          I DON'T THINK IT HOLDS UP IN THE WORLD OF 2025. 
          AND BY HAVING THE CRIME POLICY AS THE OVERARCHING, IN ADDITION TO, UM, THE ERRORS AND OMISSIONS LIABILITY PO UH, POLICY, AND THEN WE HAVE, AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, I KNOW WE HAVE THE DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS WITH THOSE IN PLACE, THEN IN MY MIND, IT, IT COVERS THE CONCERNS THAT WERE VOICED AND THEN IT COVERS US TO THE BEST, TO THE BEST ABILITY. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT WAS WHERE I THOUGHT WE WERE HEADED. 
          I THINK, I THINK YOU DID SUCH A GOOD JOB TELLING US THAT, SHOWING US THAT WE DIDN'T NEED BONDS ON EVERYONE, THAT WE ARE NOW CONVINCED THAT THE CRIME POLICY IS JUST GONNA COVER IT ALL. 
          YEAH. 
          AND SO I GUESS THE QUESTION IS, IT PROBABLY WOULD REQUIRE SOME SORT OF A REWRITE, AT LEAST FROM THE TITLE ON DOWN. 
          UH, 'CAUSE YOU'RE REFERENCING BONDS, AND IF YOU'RE NOT, NOT TO HOLD UP THE SHOW. 
          I, I THINK I CAN WORK ON THAT AFTER WE GET THROUGH THE REST OF THE STUFF HERE. 
          FAIR ENOUGH. 
          WE CAN COME BACK TO THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, COUNCIL MEMBER HUMMEL. 
          YES, I'M PRETTY, I'M WITH YOU. 
          I MEAN, IF THE CRIME POLICY TAKES CARE MORE THAN WHAT THE BOND CAN DO, SO WHY HAVING BOND OKAY. 
          DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. 
          WE'VE GOT CONSENSUS. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          I'M CURIOUS HOW PETE IS GONNA REWRITE THAT AND COVER THESE SLIDES CONCURRENTLY, BUT I'M GOOD. 
          . 
          OKAY. 
          I'M GOOD. 
          PETE, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO YOU AND, UH, AND WE'LL GO THROUGH THE, UH, PROPOSED PROPOSITIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR? OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          SO, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW IS WHAT ARE THE RULES OF, OF ENGAGEMENT? THERE'S ONLY ONE, ONE STATUTORY RULE FOR THE PROPOSITIONS, AND THAT IS, IT CAN'T CONTAIN MORE THAN ONE SUBJECT. 
          AND SO WE'VE TRIED TO CRAFT THE PROPOSITION, SO TO REDUCE THE NUMBER, UH, NOT ONLY FOR VOTER FATIGUE, BUT ALSO 'CAUSE OF THE COST OF THE ELECTION. 
          SO, UH, THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT TO RESTATE THE ENTIRE TEXT. 
          SOMETIMES WE DO, OR A PORTION OF IT TO HELP EXPLAIN THE PURPOSE OR THE EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT. 
          OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S COMMON SENSE. 
          AND, UH, THE IDEA IS TO INFORM THE VOTERS OF WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE AMENDMENT IS AND WHAT THE EFFECT IS. 
          HAVING SAID THAT, WE'LL GO ON TO PROPOSITION A. 
          HERE WE'RE JUST MAKING, UH, NON SUBSTANTIVE GRAMMATICAL CORRECTIONS. 
          THERE WAS NO CHANGES TO THE TEXT OR TO THE PROPOSITION THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY SAW. 
          PROPOSITION B UH, IT WAS JUST PROVIDING SOME CLARITY REGARDING THE OPERATIONS AND OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND BUILDINGS WITHIN THE CITY. 
          A NON SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE PROPOSITION. 
          C UH, IS TO CLARIFY THE PROCESS FOR ELECTION AMERIPRO 10 BY THE CITY COUNCIL. 
          THERE WAS NO CHANGES TO THE PROPOSITION OR THE TEXT THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY SAW. 
          UH, THIS WAS TO HELP CLARIFY WHEN THE MAYOR PRO TEM IS ELECTED, PROPOSITION D. 
          [00:40:01]
UH, WE'VE ALREADY GONE THROUGH THIS AND SO WE WON'T EVEN SPEND ANY TIME ON IT. 
          PROPOSITION E THIS WAS THE LIST, THE GROUND, THE GROUNDS, AND THE PROCESS FOR, UH, FOR ADJUDICATING A CHARGE OF MISCONDUCT. 
          AND, UH, AND IT VERY, IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE IN THE CODE OF ETHICS. 
          AND WE, WE HAVE NOTICED OPPORTUNITY BE HEARD, CHARGE, HEARING INVESTIGATION. 
          WE HAVE ALL THE COMPONENTS THAT YOU ASKED FOR. 
          PROPOSITION F UH, THIS IS SIMPLY TO CLARIFY THAT IT'S MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, NOT CITIZEN, WHICH IS KIND OF AN ARCHAIC TERM. 
          SO, PROPOSITION G, UH, THAT WAS TO CLARIFY WHO COULD SERVE SUBPOENAS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL AND PROPOSITION H WE HAD A CORRECTION IN THE, UH, PROPOSITION. 
          UH, AND I THINK WE, WE ADDED A COMMA AFTER NINE 12 F AND THEN AFTER NINE 12 D. 
          OTHER THAN THAT, THE PROPOSITION AND THE TEXT IS THE SAME PROPOSITION. 
          I, UH, THIS IS WHO IS AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS. 
          UH, AND WE REPEAL THIS BECAUSE IT'S NOW CONTROLLED BY STATE LAW, BY THE GOVERNMENT CODE PROPOSITION J UH, THIS WAS, UH, A COMMISSION REQUESTED CHANGE THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE DISTRICTS ONE THROUGH FOUR, UH, HAVE TO BE A RESIDENT OF THAT DISTRICT FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR PRIOR TO HOLDING OFFICE PRIOR TO THE ELECTION. 
          SO WE MADE THAT CHANGE TO SECTION 4.02 AND 4.04 ONE'S QUALIFICATIONS AND ONE'S THE, THE, THE RESIDENT'S REQUIREMENT PROPOSITION. 
          K. 
          UH, WHAT WE DID WAS WE MADE SOME NON SUBJECTIVE CHANGES TO CLARIFIED VOTERS MEANS QUALIFIED VOTERS OF THE CITY. 
          UH, I THOUGHT WE HAD CLEANED UP PLENTY OF THIS IN 2015, BUT APPARENTLY WE HAD NOT. 
          IF I'M GOING TOO FAST FOR ANYONE, LET ME KNOW. 
          PROPOSITION L UH, THIS CLARIFY. 
          VOTERS, THE QUALIFIED VOTERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECALL THE MAYOR, UH, AND, AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          SO THAT WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNEW THAT THEY HAD TO BE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY IN ORDER TO CALL FOR RECALL PROPOSITION M. 
          THIS HAD TO DO RECALL AND GROUNDS, UH, FOR THE PROCESS AND THE PROCESS. 
          UM, IT JUST WAS CLARIFYING WHAT THE GROUNDS WERE, UH, TO PROVIDE, UH, NOTICE TO, TO THE COUNCIL PERSON WHO WAS THE SUBJECT OF THE RECALL. 
          WITH THAT, I'LL GO TO THE NEXT ONE. 
          PROPOSITION N UH, CLARIFY THE PETITION. 
          CITIZENS FOR THE RECALL AND MAYOR MUST BE RESIDENTS OF CITY. 
          SIMILAR TO WHAT WE SAW BEFORE PROPOSITION O, WE MADE A GRAMMATICAL CORRECTION IN THE PROPOSITION SINCE LAST TIME YOU SAW IT. 
          WE ADDED QUOTATION MARKS, UH, BEFORE THE SENATE MANAGER AND AT ADDED IN MARKS AFTER ENTIRE COUNSEL. 
          OTHER THAN THAT, THE TEXT OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES AND THE PROPOSITION REMAINS THE SAME. 
          UH, AND IT WAS JUST, UH, RELOCATING ONE SENTENCE TO ANOTHER SECTION PROPOSITION, UH, WHOOP. 
          DID I SKIP ONE? WHAT HAPPENED HERE? AM I GOING GO BACKWARDS. 
          THERE WE GO. 
          SORRY, TOO QUICK. 
          UH, CLARIFYING THAT CITY MANAGER ASKED TO BE A RESIDENT RESIDENT OF THE CITY. 
          Q THE NON SUBSTANTIVE, UH, CLARIFICATION WE'RE REGARDING THE PROCESS FOR REMOVAL OF THE CITY MANAGER. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE THREE PROPOSITIONS HERE, PROPOSITION, R, S, AND T. 
          THEY'RE ALL THE SAME SECTION, UH, BUT THEY'RE DIFFERENT PRO PROPOSITIONS BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT SUBJECTS. 
          ANY QUESTIONS ON THOSE? CLARIFYING THE DUTIES. 
          WHEN THE CITY MANAGER CAN BE ABSENT, OBVIOUSLY HE CAN BE ABSENTLY, BE SICK. 
          HE IS AWAY ON PERFORMING OTHER DUTIES FOR THE CITY. 
          AND, AND THEN ADDING THE AUTHORITY TO DESIGNATE SOMEONE TO SERVE IN THIS ABSENCE 
          [00:45:01]
PROPOSITION U UH, WE, UH, HAD IN THE PRIOR VERSION THAT YOU SAW, WE HAD INCLUDED, UH, THE SOME TEXT THAT, UH, WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS PORTION OF THE PROPOSITION. 
          SO OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S, IT'S THE SAME. 
          AND WE'RE GONNA JUST REPEAL SECTION 6 0 6. 
          AND THEN WHEN WE, WE GO TO PROPOSITION, UH, EIGHT, I WILL RAPIDLY COME THROUGH AND COME UP WITH A REVISED TEXT AND PROPOSITION PROPOSITION WILL BE EASY. 
          BUT REVISED TEXT, I THINK SIMPLY WILL BE MARKING THROUGH SOME OF THAT TEXT CHANGES. 
          SO BEAR WITH ME ON THAT. 
          NEXT ONE, PROPOSITION W QUALIFICATIONS OF THE JUDGE CHANGE THE PHRASE BONAFIDE RESIDENT TO READ. 
          RESIDENT, UH, BONAFIDE WAS KIND OF AN ARCHAIC TERM PROPOSITION X COMPENSATION OF THE JUDGE. 
          WE REPEALED THAT 'CAUSE THAT'S IN THE APPROVED BUDGET OF THE CITY. 
          PROPOSITION Y UH, CLARIFY THAT THE CITY DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS PREPARED DEPARTMENTAL OPERATING BUDGETS FOR THE CITY MANAGER. 
          THERE WERE SOME ARCHAIC TYPE LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT WAS SIMPLY A, A CLARIFICATION PROPOSITION. 
          Z UH, THIS IS, UH, A COUNCIL REQUESTED ITEM TO REQUIRE THAT A, UH, PERSONS APPOINTED THE BOARD'S COMMISSIONS BE A RESIDENT OF THE CITY FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR PROPOSITION. 
          AA, UH, NINE, 10 B AND D AND NINE 11 C ARE JUST MAKING GRAMMATICAL CORRECTIONS CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW. 
          UH, AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, 75%. 
          YOU CAN SEE THERE'S NO REAL SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES THERE. 
          PROPOSITION BB UH, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT TO VOTE ON ALL MATTERS COMING FOR THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, EXCEPT AS LIE BY LAW. 
          SO THIS WAS A DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT SUBJECT MATTER. 
          SO WE HAD TO, UH, ADD THAT AS A SEPARATE PROPOSITION PROPOSITION. 
          CC, UH, WE DID GRAMMATICAL CORRECTIONS TO THE TEXT. 
          UM, I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT WE DID. 
          UH, COMMA AFTER LAW AND AS THE WORD IN YOU'RE CORRECT. 
          THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE. 
          PROPOSITION DD. 
          UH, ALL WE'RE DOING IS RE RELOCATING TWO SECTIONS INTO THE PROPER TWO, TWO SUBSECTIONS INTO THE PROPER SECTION. 
          THAT'S ALL WE'RE DOING. 
          UH, IT WAS A GOOD CATCH BY THE CHARTER COMMISSION PROPOSITION DOUBLE E. 
          UM, THIS IS A, THIS IS A CHANGE THAT WILL ALLOW, UH, CITY EMPLOYEES PROVIDE TO APPLY FOR CIVIL SERVICE POSITIONS PRIOR TO BEING POSTED TO THE PUBLIC. 
          IT'S GOOD FOR THE CITY EMPLOYEES PROPOSITION. 
          FF UH, WE CHANGED THE PROPOSITION WORDING TO MAKE, TO CLARIFY IT. 
          UH, OTHER THAN THAT, UH, THE ONLY POINT IS, IS THAT THE, THE CIVIL SERVICE BOARD WILL ESTABLISH ITS OWN PRO, ESTABLISH A PROBATIONARY PERIOD FOR EACH CLASSIFICATION AND NOT BE STUCK WITH, WITH MIN ONE MINIMUM PROPOSITION GG. 
          UH, WE HAD, UH, THIS SECTION IN THERE AND GOOD CATCH BY THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION 'CAUSE IT'S ALREADY PROVIDED FOR IN ANOTHER SECTION. 
          SO THERE WAS NO NEED TO KEEP THAT SECTION PROPOSITION. 
          HH AND II, UH, HH HAS ALLOWED PUBLIC PUBLISHED NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS OR WHATEVER MEANS ARE ALLOWED BY LAW THAT LEGISLATURE'S FINALLY CATCHING UP WITH US AND I I IS TO, UH, CLARIFY THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, UH, UH, ARE ALLOWED TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS. 
          ONCE AGAIN, YOU SEE THE ARCHAIC LANGUAGE OF CITIZENS PROPOSITION. 
          JJ, UH, THAT'S, THAT'S, UH, ADDING SOME DETAILS REGARDING THE FORM AND CONTENT OF AN INITIATIVE PETITION. 
          THAT'S THE SAME LANGUAGE YOU SAW PREVIOUSLY. 
          YOU'VE ALSO INDICATED 8%. 
          SO WE WILL PUT IN 8% FOR PROPOSITION. 
          KK PROPOSITION LL IS TO MAKE A SIMILAR CHANGE REGARDING, UH, UH, REFERENDUM 
          [00:50:01]
PETITIONS, SAME TEXT. 
          AND THAT TEXT THAT WAS ADDED TO BOTH THOSE SECTIONS. 
          OR IS TEXT CONSISTENT WITH ANOTHER SECTION OF THE CHARTER PROPOSITION? MM, WILL ADD 8%. 
          AS I UNDERSTOOD, THAT'S WHAT THE COUNCIL WANTED. 
          PROPOSITION NN UH, RE RETITLED THE SECTION FROM, FROM CHURCH TO, UH, UH, PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS, UH, MODERNIZE THE LANGUAGE, UH, TO RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS VERSUS CHURCH PROPOSITION DOUBLE ZERO. 
          UH, WE, IT'S A NON SUBJECT CHANGES, UH, CLARIFYING THE CITY PROPERTY IS NOT SUBJECT TO GARNISHMENTS OR JUDGMENTS, AND IT'S ALL CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW. 
          THAT WAS JUST A, A CLEANUP AND CLARIFICATION PROPOSITION. 
          PP UH, THIS WAS JUST A, A CLARIFICATION TO MAKE SURE THAT IT APPLIES TO, IF WE HAVE MORE THAN ONE LIBRARY PROPOSITION QQ, UH, THIS IS, UH, TO CLARIFY AND ACTUALLY ADD THOSE ADDITIONAL CITY OFFICIALS. 
          YOU CAN TAKE ACTION REGARDING CONDEMNATION OF DANGEROUS BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES. 
          THIS IS NOT MNO DOMAIN, WHICH IS CITY COUNCIL PREROGATIVE, BUT THIS INVOLVES CITY OFFICIALS SUCH AS THE BUILDING OF OFFICIAL, IT COULD BE THE CITY MANAGER BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION AS WELL. 
          THAT'S ALL CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW PROPOSITION. 
          RR UH, THIS WAS A REQUEST FROM STAFF TO PROVIDE FOR CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT. 
          AS WE REPORTED PREVIOUSLY. 
          FIRST PART OF 1809 IS, IS CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW AND THE, UH, PART B IS, UH, THE BEST OF THE BEST THAT WE COULD CRAFT TOGETHER TO PROVIDE FOR SOME FORM OF CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT PROPOSITION. 
          SS UH, IT WAS A, A COMMISSION REQUEST. 
          AND, UH, WHAT WE DID WAS WE, WE USED THE LANGUAGE AND THE CODE OF ETHICS SO THAT WE DID NOT, WE CAREFULLY REVIEW THIS, MAKE SURE WE DID NOT CREATE ANY UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. 
          AND IT'S IT, AND IT PARROTS WHAT YOU HAVE IN THE CODE OF CONFLICTS. 
          UH, PROPOSITION TT, UH, THIS WAS JUST SOME, UH, NONSENSE CHANGES, CLARIFYING THE PROCEDURES FOR HOW YOU DOCK AMENDMENTS TO THE CHARTER. 
          UH, THE COMMISSION, WE WORKED HARD ON THIS SECTION TO CLARIFY THE LANGUAGE, TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE READER TO UNDERSTAND PROPOSITION. 
          YOU, YOU, UM, THIS WAS TO MAKE NON-SUIT CHANGES AUTHORIZED IN THE COUNCIL BY ORDINANCE TO MAKE SOME NONS SUBSTANTIVE REVISION CHANGES TO THE CHARTER IN ADDITION TO RENUMBERING ARTICLES, SECTION SUBSECTIONS AND PARAGRAPHS PROPOSITION. 
          VV IS THE INFAMOUS DEFINITION SECTIONS. 
          UH, WE, WE, WE DO HAVE BUSINESS DAY IN THERE 'CAUSE WE DO USE BUSINESS DAY IN THE, UH, SECTION ON MISS, UH, MISCONDUCT FOR COMPLAINTS AGAINST COUNCIL MEMBERS AND ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION. 
          WE ALSO LEFT IN A SEPARATE DEFINITION OF DAY AND WITH, AND, UH, WITH THAT, WHILE YOU'RE TALKING, DON, I'LL GO BACK AND WORK ON 1808. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT I TELL YOU, I'M SORRY. 
          ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, I JUST, ONE QUICK QUESTION, PETE, ON THE ONE ABOUT, UM, AND I THINK IT WAS OH, OH, BUT I COULD BE MIS UH, JUST A LITTLE BIT. 
          IT'S ON THE ONE ABOUT, UM, CHURCH, THAT ONE. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          NN SO DO WE HAVE A DEFINITION SOMEWHERE AS TO WHAT A REALIS WHAT A RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION OR HOW YOU BECOME OFFICIALLY DEFINED AS A RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION? 'CAUSE MY ONLY QUESTION IS, IS IF TOMORROW, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO GO HOME AND SAY, OH, MY HOME NOW IS A RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION, I MEAN, DO, IS THERE SOMEWHERE IN STATE LAW OR IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM THAT THAT'S DEFINED? SO THAT, UH, AM I AM MAKING AM IS MY QUESTION CLEAR? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          THE QUESTION'S VERY CLEAR THERE. 
          IF, IF, IF THE TERM IS NOT DEFINED AND WE, WE COULD ADD IT TO THE DEFINITION SECTION, BUT I THINK MIGHT BE A LITTLE OVERKILL. 
          'CAUSE THEN THERE MAY BE OTHER PHRASES OR TERMS IN HERE THAT, SO WE MIGHT WANT TO HAVE A DEFINITION OF, BUT ABSENT OF DEFINITION, THE CHARTER, THEN YOU APPLY COMMON ORDINARY MEANING. 
          AND SO, UH, YOU LOOK AT WHAT ARE SOME OF THE EXAMPLES OF RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS? SO, UH, A CHURCH, A SYNAGOGUE, A MOSQUE, RIGHT? SO I I I, I THINK THERE'S PLENTY INCLUDING OUR COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE, FOR EXAMPLE. 
          SO I THINK THERE'S PLENTY OF EXAMPLES OF WHAT A RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION 
          [00:55:01]
MEANS. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU PETE. 
          MAYBE A POINT OF CLARIFICATION TO, TO BE, FOR THIS SECTION TO BE APPLICABLE THOUGH, THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE APPROPRIATE EXEMPTIONS, UH, AS A, AS A TAX EXEMPT ENTITY FROM OTHER, RIGHT? I MEAN, YES. 
          I MEAN, IN ORDER TO JOIN THE BENEFITS OF BEING A RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES OR PROPERTY TAXES, THERE'S PROCESS AND PROCEDURES THEY MUST FOLLOW THROUGH. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO, SO YOU JUST CAN'T SIMPLY SAY YOU'RE A RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION AND THE BE AUTOMATICALLY. 
          YEAH, I JUST WASN'T SURE IF WE NEEDED TO SAY AS DEFINED BY THE IRS OR SOME OTHER IN JUST SOME WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM THAT, THAT WAS MY ONLY QUESTION. 
          I UNDERSTAND THE INTENT AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. 
          I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IF IT JUST NEEDS TO BE PERFECTLY SPELLED. 
          I I DON'T KNOW IF IT NEEDS TO OR NOT. 
          THAT'S, THAT WAS MY ONLY QUESTION THAT JUST THAT, THAT JUST CAUGHT MY EYE AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH IT. 
          WE WERE JUST NOTING THAT IN THE PROPOSITION IT SAYS RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION IN THE TEXT SAYS RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION. 
          SO WE'RE JUST VERIFYING THE INTENTION. 
          WHAT PROPOSITION WAS THIS? THIS IS NN NANCY, ME, AND WE GOT STAND CORRECTED. 
          OKAY. 
          THE PROPOSITION WE NEED TO CHANGE THE PROPOSITION, UH, SHOULD BE RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION SHOULD BE, AND THAT'S, THAT'S PROBABLY A, THAT'S PROBABLY A MISTAKE ON MY PART WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THIS AND WE MISSED IT. 
          BUT THAT'S WHAT THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED WAS RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION AND THE PROPERTY CASH CODE, UH, RELIGIOUS ORGAN ORGANIZATION IS A DEFINED TERM. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO I, I THINK WE'RE, I THINK WE'RE FINE WITH THE CHANGES WE'RE MAKING THE TEXT 'CAUSE WE USE ORGANIZATION, BUT THE PROPOSITION WAS INCORRECTLY SAID, RE A RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION. 
          GOTCHA. 
          OKAY. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          EVERYBODY'S OKAY WITH THAT CHANGE IN THAT? OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, GO AHEAD TO THE NEXT SLIDE, AMY. 
          SO LET ME, LET ME MAKE, UH, YOU WANT I'LL YEAH, YEAH. 
          TO THE, UH, SORRY, I THOUGHT AMY WAS DRAWING. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UH, COUN MAYOR, COUNCIL. 
          SO MY, MY PLAN WAS, UM, I THINK TO, UH, GIVE PETE ESSENTIALLY THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, UM, HIGH ALIGNMENT HERE TONIGHT. 
          UH, AND WITH THE MAYBE A HANDFUL OF VERY SMALL EDITS, UM, I THINK THERE'S HIGH ALIGNMENT WITH RESPECT TO WHERE WE ARE. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, PETE, INSTEAD OF YOU TRYING TO DO THIS ON THE FLY TONIGHT, WE'VE GOT OTHER ITEMS. WHAT I'D LIKE TO PROPOSE IS THAT ON THE 28TH, WE WILL BRING YOU, UM, AND PRESENT TO YOU A DRAFT, UH, FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. 
          UM, LEADING UP TO JULY 11TH, UH, I'M SORRY, TO, UH, AUGUST 11TH, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO KIND OF PERUSE THE ACTUAL ORDINANCE THAT PETE WILL DRAFT IN THAT ORDINANCE. 
          UM, WE WILL HAVE THIS UPDATED LANGUAGE, UH, AROUND THE SURETY BOND, UH, MAYOR PROTO. 
          UH, WE'LL HAVE THAT UPDATED LANGUAGE, UH, FOR YOU TO LOOK AT THAT NIGHT. 
          I'LL PUT IT ON AS AN AGENDA ITEM. 
          WE CAN PROBABLY HANDLE THAT BUSINESS IN TWO TO THREE MINUTES, I WOULD IMAGINE, UH, WORST CASE, UNLESS THERE'S SOME FEEDBACK ON THE LANGUAGE, BUT I THINK PETE CAN KIND OF GET IT RIGHT ON. 
          UH, IF WE DO THAT. 
          AND THEN AGAIN, UH, SO WE'LL HAND THAT OFF TO YOU ON THE 28TH. 
          WE'LL CONFIRM THAT CHANGE, UH, SURROUNDING THE SURETY BOND. 
          UH, WE'LL BE ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER CALLING THE ELECTION ON AUGUST 11TH. 
          UM, LEADING INTO THE DISCUSSION AROUND THE COMMUNICATION PIECE, I DO WANNA LET YOU KNOW THAT AT THIS POINT, OUR, UM, OUR ESTIMATE IS THAT THE ELECTION WILL COST SOMEWHERE AROUND $250,000. 
          THAT'S A COMBINATION OF, UH, POSTING REQUIREMENTS. 
          UM, WE HAVE, UM, IS IT 46 OR 47 PROPOSITIONS, UM, UM, THAT WE WILL, WE'LL HAVE TO POST. 
          UH, THERE'S ALSO, THAT ALSO IMPACTS THE COST OF, UH, THE BALLOT ITSELF IN CONTRACTING, UM, TO, UH, FACILITATE THE ELECTION. 
          AND THEN OF COURSE, UH, THERE'S THE OUTREACH. 
          UH, MAYBE GO AHEAD AND GO TO THAT SLIDE THERE. 
          UH, WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING OUTREACH WISE IS, UM, UH, WE'LL HAVE A, A CHARTER, UH, AMENDMENT WEBPAGE. 
          UM, AND IN LIEU OF, UH, PRINTING, UM, THESE VOTER GUIDES, WHICH ARE VERY COSTLY IN THEMSELVES AND NOT IN THAT 250,000 ESTIMATE, WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS, UH, UTILIZE WHAT'S BEEN AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH FOR US RECENTLY. 
          UH, QR CODES. 
          SO WE CAN INCLUDE QR CODES IN RICHARDSON TODAY, EACH MONTH LEADING UP TO THE ELECTION. 
          WE CAN INCLUDE 'EM ON HANDOUTS THAT YOU 
          [01:00:01]
CAN PROVIDE TO RESIDENTS WHEN YOU GO OUT AND ABOUT. 
          WE CAN REALLY USE THAT TO RAISE AWARENESS. 
          DRIVE THEM TO THIS WEBSITE WHERE YOU'LL HAVE A VIRTUAL, UH, VOTER GUIDE. 
          WE WILL HAVE, UH, A COMPUTER SET UP IN THE LIBRARY FOR THIS PURPOSE. 
          IF SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE A COMPUTER AT HOME AND THEY WANT TO COME INTO THE LIBRARY, WE CAN HELP FACILITATE THAT. 
          UM, IN ADDITION, UM, YOU KNOW, WE USE ALL OF OUR, YOU KNOW, SEVEN, UH, UH, TYPICAL, UM, COMMUNICATION CHANNELS. 
          WE WANNA DEDICATE THE FALL LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP. 
          UH, THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE ABOUT 150 NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS. 
          WE WANNA USE THAT, UH, TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THIS. 
          AND THEN OUT OF THAT WE'LL BE OFFERING A SPEAKERS BUREAU WHERE NEIGHBORHOODS CAN, UM, HAVE, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, PRE-APPROVED STAFF PERSON WILL BE AVAILABLE TO GO OUT AND, UM, AND SPEAK AT NEIGHBORHOODS ABOUT THE CHARTER, UH, REVIEW. 
          THIS WORKED VERY EFFECTIVELY IN OUR LAST BOND PROGRAM, WHERE WE, I THINK AT, IN THAT, THAT SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, WE HAD OVER 50 MEETINGS WE ATTENDED. 
          UH, WE'LL DO THE SAME FOR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. 
          WE'LL DO THE SAME FOR OUR, UH, INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERS, IF THAT'D BE HELPFUL. 
          AS WELL AS, UM, OUR CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, UM, AS WELL. 
          AND THEN WE WANNA PROPOSE HAVING A, UH, MAYBE ONE, TWO, WE'LL SEE HOW THEY GO. 
          UH, A CHARTER, UH, UM, UH, UM, AMENDMENT, ELECTION, OPEN HOUSE. 
          UH, WE DID THIS FOR THE BOND PROGRAMS, IF YOU RECALL. 
          UM, EVEN THE, UH, UNEXPECTED BOND PROGRAM OF 2023. 
          WE HAD TWO ONE ON EACH SIDE OF TOWN. 
          AND SO WE'LL DO THAT AS WELL WHERE FOLKS CAN COME IN AND ACTUALLY JUST VISIT WITH STAFF OR, OR OTHERS ABOUT THE, THE CHANGES. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, UH, WE'LL, WE'LL SET UP A EMAIL ADDRESS WHERE QUESTIONS CAN BE SUBMITTED. 
          AND SO, UH, THAT'S KIND OF THE COMMUNICATION PLAN AGAIN. 
          UM, UM, IF, IF, UH, I CAN GET SOME CONCURRENCE AROUND THE STRATEGY OF BRINGING YOU A, UH, A WHAT WE BELIEVE WILL BE A FINAL ORDINANCE, UH, ON THE 28TH, ALLOW YOU TWO WEEKS TO REVIEW THAT, SET, THAT CONSIDERATION OF THAT ORDINANCE ADOPTION UP FOR AUGUST 11TH. 
          AND THEN WE'LL BE READY TO LAUNCH WITH THIS PLAN, UH, AUGUST 12TH. 
          UM, IF I CAN, MAY I ASK A QUICK QUESTION? SURE. 
          UM, THE COST OF 250,000, WHAT WAS OUR, HOW MUCH OF THAT IS BASED ON HOW MANY ITEMS WE HAD HERE? 'CAUSE I KNOW AT ONE POINT WE WERE THINKING THIS WAS GONNA BE LIKE LESS THAN 10. 
          IS THAT, IS THERE A LINEAR, OR WAS IT ONLY NOMINAL IN TERMS OF THE INCREASE? WELL, I WENT BACK TO THE 2015 ELECTION AND LOOKED AT THE NOTICE COST, THE PUBLICATION COST, AND THAT IN 2015, IT WAS $80,000 FOR THE 83 PROPOSITIONS. 
          UM, SO I'M UNABLE TO GET AN ESTIMATE FOR THAT COST BASED ON, YOU KNOW, TODAY'S TOTALS. 
          BUT, UM, AND THEN THE CONTRACTUAL COSTS WITH EACH COUNTY GUESS FOR ASKING IT IS MAYOR, IT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE NUMBER OF PROPOSITIONS. 
          OKAY? IF WE HAD 10 PROPOSITIONS, THIS COST WOULD BE A FRACTION OF THAT. 
          SO THE, THE COST IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE NUMBER OF PROPOSITIONS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED. 
          IT'S THAT MUCH MORE SPACE IN THE PUBLICATION. 
          IT'S THAT MORE SPACE ON THE BALLOT. 
          ALL THAT IS, IS, IS A FACTOR. 
          AND ONLY BECAUSE IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS WE TALKED ABOUT, I THINK PUBLICLY, THAT THERE WERE GONNA BE, WE HYPOTHESIZED AT THAT TIME MUCH FEWER, UH, ITEMS THAT WERE GONNA BE ON THE BALLOT THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT AND WHERE WE ARE TODAY. 
          MM-HMM . 
          YOU MAY HAVE MENTIONED IT EARLIER AND I MAY HAVE MISSED IT, OR, OR MAYBE IT'S WORTH JUST GIVING A QUICK IDEA OF WHY WE ENDED UP GOING FROM HOWEVER MANY ITEMS WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. 
          I THINK LESS THAN 10 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          SO, YES, SIR. 
          YEAH, NO, YOU'RE, YOU'RE RIGHT. 
          I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I THINK, I THINK ORIGINALLY WE WERE THROWN AROUND NUMBER 25 TO, YOU KNOW, 20, 25 MAYBE. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, A A LOT OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS, UM, THAT YOU'VE, YOU'VE SEEN PRESENTED TONIGHT ARE, UH, YOU KNOW, GRAMMATICAL, UH, IN NATURE. 
          SOME ARE, UM, TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLARIFY. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, SO, SO DON, TO THAT POINT, LET ME ASK A QUESTION. 
          IS THIS APPROPRIATE? WOULD WE BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO PURELY PUT THE, MY WORDS SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE CHANGES ON THIS? WE HAVE THE, WE HAVE THE ONE CHANGE IN THERE THAT SAYS WE CAN GO BACK AND MAKE GRAMMATICAL CHANGES AND ALL OF THAT, ASSUMING THE VOTERS APPROVE THAT, WOULD IT BE FROM A, FROM A PURE COST PERSPECTIVE AND FROM A NUMBER OF, A NUMBER OF, UM, AMENDMENTS, IF YOU WILL, DOES IT MAKE MORE SENSE TO SAY, OKAY, WE'RE GONNA PUT THE ONES THAT ARE SUBSTANTIAL, IE THE PAY CHANGE, THE OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT, PUT THAT OVERARCHING ONE IN THERE THAT SAYS WE CAN MAKE JUST PURELY GRAMMATICAL, NOT PUT THOSE ON THE BALLOT, AND THEN DO THOSE AFTER, ASSUMING THE VOTERS APPROVE THAT. 
          WOULD THAT MAKE MORE SENSE? AND WOULD THAT REDUCE OUR OVERALL COST AND, AND EXCUSE THE, AND, AND, AND REDUC REDUCE? 'CAUSE I KNOW LAST TIME WE GOT A LOT, I MEAN, I WAS INVOLVED IN THE 20 15 1 AND WE GOT A LOT OF FEEDBACK AS TO OH MY GOSH, THESE ARE SO MANY AMENDMENTS TO GO THROUGH. 
          NOW, GRANTED, THIS IS ABOUT ROUGHLY HALF, AM I DOING THE MATH RIGHT? ROUGHLY ABOUT HALF. 
          SO IT MAY NOT BE AS AS VOCAL, BUT, AND I'M NOT TRYING TO BE, YEAH. 
          I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK, IS THERE AN EXPEDITIOUS 
          [01:05:01]
WAY TO DO THIS, SAVE MONEY, MAKE IT HAPPEN, AND, AND GO FORWARD IN THAT REALM? SO I'M JUST ASKING THE QUESTION AND THE, THE SHORT ANSWER IS, IS NO BECAUSE, UH, WHILE WE, WHILE WE SAY THEY'RE NON SUBSEQUENT GRAMMATICAL CHANGES, UH, GRAMMATICAL CHANGES, UH, WE DON'T WANT A CITIZEN TO ARGUE THAT WE, WE WENT BACK AND CHANGED SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT GRAMMATICAL. 
          SO I THINK THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE PROPOSED TO YOU ARE, ARE ESSENTIAL TO BE DONE. 
          AND WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT HAVING A PROPOSITION DEDICATED TO RENUMBERING. 
          WE JUST HAPPEN TO MAKE A REFERENCE TO ONE THAT'S BEING RENUMBERED AS A RESULT OF THE CHANGES. 
          BUT WE'VE REALLY REDUCED THE NUMBER OF PROPOSITIONS TO THE EXTENT WE CAN. 
          WE MIGHT SHORTEN THE PROPOSITIONS BY MAYBE TAKING OUT THE WORD HOME RULE FROM THE PROPOSITION ITSELF. 
          AND WE, AND WE MAY BE ASKED BY THE, BY THE, THE COUNTIES TO DO THAT IF THEY SAY WE NEED TO SHRINK THE SIZE OF THE PROPOSITION. 
          SO WE, WE MIGHT HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU AND ASK YOU, IT'S OKAY TO TAKE OUT, FOR EXAMPLE, HOME RULE IN REFERENCE TO, OF THE HOME RULE. 
          SO, SO PETE, MAYBE, MAYBE, UM, HELP ME KIND OF, OR KIND OF ELABORATE ON THIS. 
          SO, UH, UH, MAYOR PRO TEM, FOR INSTANCE, UH, THERE'S A PROPOSITION THAT'S GONNA CHANGE THE WORD FROM CITIZEN TO PUBLIC, RIGHT. 
          SO WHILE I, THAT'S A, THAT'S A, A FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD CHANGE. 
          I DON'T THINK THAT FALLS UNDER THE TYPE OF CHANGE THAT CAN BE FACILITATED SIMPLY BY ORDINANCE. 
          THAT THAT'S CORRECT. 
          EVEN THOUGH IT'S A, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A RELATIVELY MINOR SURE. 
          EVEN THOUGH IT'S A RELATIVELY MINOR CHANGE JUMP. 
          YEAH. 
          UH, BUT, BUT MY POINT WAS, I THINK THAT A LOT OF THE CHANGES, PROBABLY OVER 20 OR 25, UH, YOU KNOW, WE, I'VE COUNTED AS MANY OF ABOUT 15 THAT I THINK ARE OF THAT NATURE CITIZEN TO PUBLIC, WHERE IT DOESN'T, IT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY ALLOW US TO MAKE IT OR ALLOW YOU TO MAKE IT VIA ORDINANCE, UH, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED, UH, UH, TOO SUBSTANTIAL PERHAPS. 
          UM, BUT THEY'RE REALLY STRAIGHTFORWARD CHANGES. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ADDED OF THE CITY IN A LOT OF PROPOSITIONS WHERE IN SOME, IN SOME CASES THAT WAS THE ONLY CHANGE, FOR INSTANCE, AND AN IMPORTANT CHANGE, BUT A REALLY STRAIGHTFORWARD CHANGE. 
          AND I THINK, MAYOR, THAT TO YOUR, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THAT'S WHERE I SAW THE, AS I, AS I COUNTED, THAT'S WHERE I SAW THE NUMBER KIND OF GROW FROM 25 TO MORE OF THE 40 ISH. 
          I WASN'T KIND OF RANGE. 
          YEAH. 
          I WASN'T SURE IF THERE WAS SOME BUNDLING THAT WE THOUGHT WE COULD DO AND WE COULDN'T DO, OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. 
          I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER CORCORAN, UH, I'M, I HAVE A COMMENT NOT ON THIS SPECIFIC LINE OF DISCUSSION, SO THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. 
          NO PROBLEM. 
          MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER BARRIS. 
          I KNOW THIS MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH, I HAD A SIMILAR QUESTION AND KIND OF ALONG WHAT COUNCILMAN OR MAYOR PERM HUTCHIN WRITER, UM, WAS ASKING. 
          AND, BUT MINE WAS MORE FROM THE ANGLE OF, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE SEVERAL THAT ARE TIED TO CHANGES IN STATE LAW, AND I KNOW OBVIOUSLY STATE LAW, UH, SUPERSEDES WHAT WE DO HERE LOCALLY. 
          SO DO WE ABSOLUTELY NEED TO CHANGE THE ONES THAT ARE SUPERSEDED BY STATE LAW? UH, I MEAN, DO WE EVEN HAVE TO MAKE THOSE VOTED ON SINCE THEY ARE TO ALIGN WITH STATE LAW? BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS, AS WE KNOW, LEGISLATIVE MEETS EVERY TWO YEARS, AND SOMETIMES THOSE, THEY GOES BACK AND FORTH EVERY TWO YEARS ON SOME OF THEIR, EXCUSE ME, SOME OF THEIR DESIRES AND CHANGES TO THE LAW. 
          SO WE'RE NOT GONNA TOUCH THIS FOR ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, 10 YEARS. 
          UM, WHAT'S GOING TO, I GUESS THE QUESTION IS DO WE REALLY NEED TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES? AND IF, DO THEY NEED THEIR OWN BALLOTS SINCE IT'S JUST TO LINE UP WITH STATE LAW, WHICH IS ALREADY OBVIOUSLY SUPERSEDES US LOCALLY. 
          UH, I, I DON'T THINK THERE ARE ANY THAT WERE JUST, UH, CHANGING TO CONFORM WITH STATE LAW. 
          THE, WE INCLUDED THAT LANGUAGE IN THE PROPOSED PROPOSITION TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VOTERS WOULD UNDERSTAND WE WERE MAKING A GRAMMATICAL CHANGE, SUCH AS AT LEAST 10% OR, OR WHATEVER, WHATEVER THE WORD MIGHT HAVE BEEN, TO SHOW THE VOTERS. 
          WE WEREN'T CHANGING ANYTHING STILL CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW, BUT IT WAS A, UH, EITHER A CLARIFICATION OR A GRAM GRAMMATICAL CORRECTION. 
          IT WAS A LEFT OUT WORD, FOR EXAMPLE. 
          I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY PROPOSITION THAT WAS SIMPLY A CHANGE BECAUSE OF STATE LAW. 
          YEAH. 
          COUNCILMAN BARRIOS. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING I WOULD JUST SAY IS, UM, I THINK UNDERTAKING AN EXER UNDERTAKING A, AN ASSIGNMENT LIKE THIS, UM, ONCE A DECADE, UM, I THINK IT WOULD, IT, YOU KNOW, IT'S A VALUE PROPOSITION FOR THE COUNCIL TO DECIDE ON, BUT I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THE FEW PROPOSITIONS WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SAVE IF THERE WAS ONLY A CHANGE FOR STATE LAW, UM, UM, VERSUS WHAT WE'RE GONNA BRING TO THE VOTERS ANYWAY, I, I DON'T THINK IT'S A, IT'S A STRONG VALUE PROPOSITION TO LEAVE OUT TWO OR THREE, OR, YOU KNOW, EVEN FOUR OR FIVE PROPOSITIONS. 
          UM, KNOWING THAT WE WOULD GO THROUGH A WHOLE PROCESS LIKE THIS, HAVE AN ELECTION, AND WE WOULD STILL HAVE 
          [01:10:01]
PARTS OF THE CHARTER THAT WERE INCONSISTENT WITH THE STATE LAW OF THAT DAY. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THAT'S A VALUE PROPOSITION FOR THE COUNCIL. 
          BUT I, I, I WOULD HATE TO GO THROUGH THIS WHOLE EXERCISE OF A COMMISSION ALL OF THE TIME THAT YOU'VE SPENT CALLING ELECTION AND TO SAVE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, EVEN 10% END THE DAY WITH A CHARTER THAT'S, THAT WAS INCONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW. 
          IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THE VALUE PROPOSITION IS TO, TO, TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO. 
          IT IS A POINT IN TIME GRANTED, BUT TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ALIGNED WITH ALL STATE LAW AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW THAT WAS A CHARGE OF THE CHARTER COMMISSION. 
          THAT WAS YOUR, ONE OF YOUR CHARGES TO THE CHARTER COMMISSION WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY IDENTIFIED ANY INCONSISTENCIES WITH STATE LAW COUNCIL MEMBER CORCORAN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH, I MEAN, I JUST, I GUESS I FEEL LIKE THIS COSTS, WHILE SUBSTANTIAL, IT IS ONCE EVERY 10 YEARS, AND I DON'T KNOW, DAWN, I MEAN, IF THERE WAS A WAY TO, IF THERE WAS A WAY TO SAVE ANY MONEY ON THIS OUTSIDE OF WHAT Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY DONE, IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT YOU WOULD'VE THOUGHT OF IT AT THIS POINT? RIGHT. 
          AND, AND AGAIN, THIS IS, THIS IS AN ESTIMATE. 
          I MEAN, AMY'S GONNA HAVE A CHANCE TO WORK WITH BOTH, UM, UM, OFF ELECTION OFFICES, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S STRATEGIES THAT WE CAN, CAN IMPLEMENT IN TERMS OF THE WAY IT'S PRESENTED. 
          SAME WITH THE PUBLICATIONS. 
          I MEAN, IF THERE'S STRATEGIES, UM, WE JUST WANT TO, YOU KNOW, BE EYES OPEN THAT, THAT THIS IS POTENTIAL COST. 
          MY MY ORIGINAL QUESTION WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT A LOT OF THE MAJORITY OF ACTUAL DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION OUTSIDE OF THE IN PERSON MEETINGS THAT YOU PLAN ON, ON HAVING ON THIS IS GONNA BE ONLINE. 
          SO WHAT'S THE, I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, WHAT'S THE INCREASED COST IN PUTTING SOME SORT OF GUIDE IN RICHARDSON TODAY IN THE PRINT EDITION, I GUESS TO THE EXCLUSION OF LIKE, OTHER INFORMATION THAT'S IN THERE. 
          I MEAN, THAT'S, I GUESS I'M JUST THINKING OF THE PEOPLE WHO DUNNO HOW TO USE QR CODES, MAYBE AREN'T GONNA, FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER ARE A LITTLE MORE DISCONNECTED AND WOULDN'T HEAR OF, OR ARE UNAVAILABLE ON THE TWO IN-PERSON DATES, OR AREN'T MEMBERS OF DIFFERENT CLUBS OR CHAMBERS OR MM-HMM . 
          THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SURE. 
          JUST, I, I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING, I MEAN, IS THAT REALLY A, AN INCREASED COST TO US TO PUT THAT IN RICHARDSON TODAY? UH, SURE. 
          SO, SO IT WOULD BE THE EQUIVALENT OF SENDING OUT AN A WHOLE NOTHER, WHICH RICHARDSON TODAY TO 40,000 ADDRESSES, ESSENTIALLY. 
          OKAY. 
          WE HAVE TO DO IT IN THREE LANGUAGES. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO, SO YOU KNOW, IN ADDITION TO THE TRANSLATION COST OF 47 MM-HMM . 
          YOU KNOW, PROPOSITIONS PLUS ALL THE OTHER RELATED INFORMATION. 
          SO, UH, IT WOULD BE ABOUT THE SAME SIZE. 
          WE ESTIMATED IT WOULD BE ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS WE SENT OUT IN, UH, 2015. 
          MM-HMM . 
          UM, AMY REMINDED, I, I THINK THE COST ESTIMATE THAT GREG GAVE WAS, UH, BETWEEN ALL, ALL IN IT WAS ABOUT $40,000. 
          THINK SO. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, I WAS JUST ASKING. 
          YEAH, I MEAN, WE'RE, WE'LL IF THAT'S, IF THAT'S A COST THAT YOU THINK IS WORTH IT, WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN AS WELL. 
          WE WERE JUST TRYING TO, UM, USE, YOU KNOW, AS MUCH TECHNOLOGY AGAIN, YOU KNOW, HAVING, HAVING A PLACE IN THE LIBRARY WHERE SOMEBODY CAN COME IN AND RECEIVE ASSISTANCE TO, UM MM-HMM . 
          YOU KNOW, LOOK AT IT ON, LOOK AT THE VOTER GUIDE ONLINE, HAVING THE OPEN HOUSES, YOU KNOW MM-HMM . 
          WE, WE'VE TRYING TO STRIKE A BALANCE, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IN, IN AN ELECTION WHERE YOU MIGHT GET 5,000 PEOPLE VOTE, YOU SEND OUT 40,000 OF THESE I UNDERSTAND GUIDES JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE RIGHT BALANCE AND, AND THE RIGHT, THE RIGHT VALUE. 
          NO, NO, THAT'S VERY FAIR. 
          IT SEEMS LIKE THE SENTIMENT OF THIS GROUP IS TO TRY TO LOWER THE COST OF THE ELECTION, NOT INCREASE IT BY $40,000. 
          SO YEAH, I WAS JUST, I WAS JUST ASKING TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE MORE FULLY WHY WE DIDN'T GO THAT ROUTE. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER SHAUL. 
          THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. 
          I KNOW YOUR ANSWER WOULD BE PROBABLY NOT, PROBABLY PRETTY MUCH A HUNDRED PERCENT SURE THAT'S A NO, BUT I'M GONNA ASK YOU THAT QUESTION ANYWAY. 
          IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE COULD LIKE LUMP SOME OF THE PROPOSITION TOGETHER WHERE WE ARE JUST PROPOSING SOME, LIKE CITY, THE CITY REFERRING FEW THINGS, LIKE MAKE THOSE THING LIKE ONE, UH, CATEGORIZE MAYBE MULTIPLE CATEGORIES? SURE. 
          SORT OF. 
          I, I'LL DEFER TO PETE AGAIN, BUT I THINK AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH THEM, UM, THE, UM, THERE ARE VERY FEW IF NO PROPOSITIONS WHERE THERE WERE A SINGLE, UH, CHANGE THAT WE COULD SAY, OKAY, THERE'S THE, OF THE CITY IN THREE OF THESE, SEVERAL OF THOSE PROPOSITIONS ALSO HAD OTHER CHANGES. 
          AND SO IT WASN'T WHERE IT WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, LET'S, THERE'S OF THE CITY, AND THAT'S THE ONLY THING IN THIS SECTION, THIS SECTION IN THIS SECTION. 
          SO LET'S LUMP 'EM ALL TOGETHER. 
          SECTIONS TWO IN SECTIONS THREE OFTEN HAD OTHER CHANGES. 
          AND SO I THINK, I THINK PETE, UH, WON'T YOU, WON'T YOU COMMENT ON THIS? I MEAN, I THINK THEY'VE GONE THROUGH THAT EXERCISE TO TRY TO REDUCE, TO TRY TO COMPILE OR, OR, UM, COMBINE AS MANY, UM, UH, PROPOSITIONS AS POSSIBLE, BUT STILL MEETING THOSE LEGAL AND, AND BEST PRACTICES THAT PETE STARTED OUT THAT SECTION WITH THAT, THAT, THAT'S CORRECT. 
          DONNA AND I NEGLECTED TO THANK AMY AND DANETTE FOR THEIR HELP IN THIS PROCESS. 
          AND WE HAD, BECAUSE YOU LOOK AT STUFF SO OFTEN, YOU, YOU MAY NOT CATCH THINGS. 
          SO 
          [01:15:01]
IN OUR OFFICE, WE HAD TWO OTHER LAWYERS WHO ARE WORKING ON IT, TRYING TO FIND WAYS WE COULD COMBINE PROPOSITIONS, ELIMINATE TEXTS AND WORDING. 
          AND SO THIS IS THE BEST WE COULD COME UP WITH. 
          WE WERE STILL REFINING IT AS LATE AS THIS AFTERNOON. 
          SO, UH, I, I DON'T THINK THAT WE WOULD, I, I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA SAVE MUCH MONEY IF WE ELIMINATE ONE OR TWO PROPOSITIONS. 
          IT, IT MAY BE MORE ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE PROPOSITION ITSELF THAN THE NUMBER. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK, YOU KNOW, THERE IS TWO PARTS HERE. 
          I THINK WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MONEY SITE, BUT THERE IS ANOTHER SITE VOTER HAVE TO GO AND CHOOSE ALL THOSE PROPOSITION INDIVIDUALLY. 
          IT'S GONNA BE PAINFUL FOR WHOEVER GOES OUT TO VOTE. 
          SO, WELL, I, BUT I, IT, IT, IT, IT MAY BE, IT MAY BE, BUT I, I THINK WHAT THE PROPOSITIONS ARE, THEY'RE DESIGNED TO DO, THEY'RE, THEY'RE TRYING TO BE USER FRIENDLY. 
          THEY'RE VERY SHORT TO THE POINT. 
          AND IF, IF THE VOTER IS ENGAGED WITH WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY, THEY WOULD'VE LOOKED ON THE WEBSITE, THEY WOULD'VE LOOKED AT THE ACTUAL TEXT CHANGES AHEAD OF TIME AND THEY CAN SEE, OH, THAT'S AN EASY ONE. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          AND SO I DON'T, I DON'T THINK IT'LL BE AS CUMBERSOME AS IT WAS WITH 83 PROPOSITIONS OR 84 I, I TELL YOU, I TELL YOU AN IDEA THAT'S, THAT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IS WORTH EXPLORING. 
          SO THERE, THERE COULD BE KIND OF A A, A MIDDLE GROUND ON THIS IDEA OF PRINTING. 
          SO A VOTER IS ALLOWED TO BRING INTO, UH, THE VOTING BOOTH WITH THEM. 
          UM, AMY, WHAT'S THAT LAST PAGE OF THE GUY CALLED? I DUNNO WHAT IT'S CALLED. 
          OKAY, SO, SO AT THE, AT THE END OF PRIOR PRIOR, AT THE END OF PRIOR, UM, UM, UH, CHARTER REVIEW ELECTIONS, UM, THERE'S A, THERE'S A PIECE, THERE'S A SINGLE PIECE OF PAPER THAT THE VOTER CAN DO THEIR HOMEWORK IN ADVANCE, AND IF THEY WANT, THEY CAN CHECK HOW THEY WANT TO VOTE FOR EACH OF THE PROPOSITIONS. 
          SO WHEN THEY GO INTO THE BOOTH, THEY AREN'T DOING WHAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING. 
          'CAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT, IT CAN BE A LOT, PARTICULARLY ON, THEY CAN SIMPLY LOOK ON THEIR SHEET THAT'S ALLOWED BY STATE LAW. 
          MAYBE A A, A MIDDLE GROUND HERE WOULD BE INSTEAD OF, UH, PRINTING, UM, THE FULL VOTER GUIDE TO PRINT, TO HAVE, UH, UH, COPIES OF THAT, UH, PIECE OF PAPER AVAILABLE. 
          AND, AND I APOLOGIZE, I'M BLANKING ON THE NAME OF WHAT IT'S CALLED AS WELL. 
          BUT, UH, AND, AND THEN FOLKS CAN USE THAT TO PREPARE IN ADVANCE. 
          SO WHEN THEY GET TO THE, TO THE VOTING BOOTH THAT DAY, THEY CAN HAVE THAT SHEET OF PAPER AS A RESOURCE TO THEM AND IT WOULD HELP THEM MANAGE AND MANEUVER THE PROPOSITIONS AND THE BALLOT IN A MORE EFFECTIVE, TIMELY WAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER JUSTICE. 
          UH, I LIKE THAT IDEA A LOT. 
          UM, AND I, I DON'T SORT OF ECHO THE CONCERNS THAT OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE HERE. 
          I MEAN, OUR CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION WENT THROUGH THIS EXTENSIVELY. 
          I KNOW OUR LEGAL COUNSEL HAS AS WELL. 
          AND SO, UM, AND WE'VE LOOKED AT THESE MULTIPLE TIMES AT THIS POINT. 
          AND SO I AM NOT SHOCKED AT ALL THAT THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE BROUGHT US BECAUSE IT'S WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SHOWING US. 
          SO I, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M, I'M COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT'S BEEN SHOWN TONIGHT, AND I, YOU KNOW, IF WE GIVE RESOURCES LIKE YOU'VE JUST DESCRIBED TO OUR VOTERS, I THINK THEY CAN GO IN PREPARED AND, YOU KNOW, DO THEIR HOMEWORK AHEAD OF TIME. 
          AND SO I'M, I'M PERFECTLY COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TONIGHT. 
          UM, YEAH, IT'S A LOT OF PROPOSITIONS, BUT THAT'S WHY WE DO THIS. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, WE, YOU KNOW, IF WE GIVE THEM THE RESOURCES, I THINK THAT, THAT WE'RE GOOD TO MOVE FORWARD, UM, AS SUGGESTED. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          ALRIGHT, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, WE WILL MOVE ON 
          [8. REVIEW AND DISCUSS THE FY 2025-2026 PARKS MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES.]
TO ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, REVIEW AND DISCUSS THE FISCAL YEAR 20 25, 20 26 PARKS MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES. 
          MR. MAGNER. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          MAYOR AND COUNSEL. 
          UH, OUR DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND REC, YVAN PGU, AND OUR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR SEAN ROGERS GONNA TEAM UP ON THIS BRIEFING. 
          UM, BEFORE, UM, THEY GET STARTED THOUGH, I WANT TO JUST, UH, POINT OUT THAT, UH, THIS IS, UM, THE FIRST OF OUR INTERNAL DEEP DIVES THAT WE ARE PRESENTING IN ADVANCE OF OUR, UM, FY 26 BUDGET RETREAT. 
          AS YOU WELL KNOW, WE HAVE A SERIES OF THESE THAT WE'LL BE DOING LEADING UP TO THAT, UH, THAT BUDGET RETREAT ON, UM, IN, IN THAT FIRST, UH, MONDAY AND TUESDAY OF AUGUST. 
          UM, I WANNA DRAW YOUR ATTENTION, UM, TO A STRATEGY THAT'S SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THIS YEAR COMPARED TO PRIOR YEARS. 
          AND THAT IS AT THE END OF, UH, THE PRESENTATION WHEN YOU USUALLY ARE SEEING OUR RECOMMENDED WORK PLAN, UH, FOR FY 26, WHICH YOU'RE GONNA SEE INSTEAD IS WHAT WE'RE CALLING A PRELIMINARY WORK PLAN. 
          AND THAT IS BECAUSE, UM, WE ARE, UH, AS WE HAVE HAD, UH, SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS, UM, INCLUDING OUR Q2 BUDGET REPORT, UM, WE ARE, UH, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY AROUND WHERE, UM, I'LL BE PROPOSING AND ULTIMATELY YOU ADOPT, UH, THE TRANSFER OUTS FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO THESE SPECIAL MAINTENANCE ACCOUNTS. 
          UM, THAT WILL BE A BIG PART OF OUR DISCUSSION. 
          IT'LL BE A BIG PART OF OUR BALANCING CONSIDERATIONS IN THE COMING YEAR. 
          AND SO WHAT I'VE ASKED THE DEPARTMENTS TO DO THIS YEAR IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A LIST OF THEIR, UH, KIND OF PRIORITY PROJECTS, KNOWING THAT, UM, ULTIMATELY WHERE THOSE FUNDING LEVELS LAND FOR THESE TRANSFER OUTS AND FOR THESE SPECIAL MAINTENANCE INITIATIVES, UM, WE'LL 
          [01:20:01]
HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE AND SAY, WELL, GOOD NEWS, WE WERE ABLE TO GET 'EM ALL IN. 
          OR, WELL, ACTUALLY, WE WILL ONLY ABLE TO GET 50% OF THESE IN OR, OR WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE. 
          AND SO THAT'S A, THAT'S A CHANGE FROM PRIOR YEARS. 
          UM, IT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS PRUDENT AT THIS POINT IN THE PROCESS BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT TO DISCUSS IN THE COMING WEEKS. 
          AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UH, THAT WE, UH, WE START OUT, UH, TONIGHT AND EACH OF THE NEXT TWO WEEKS AS WE HAVE, UH, SEVERAL MORE BRIEFINGS, UM, LEADING UP TO, UM, TO THE RETREAT IN THAT WAY. 
          SO, IVAN, LET ME, UH, TURN IT OVER TO YOU TO FIRST, UH, KIND OF TALK ABOUT OUR NATIONAL PARKS AND REC MONTH AND THEN, UH, WE'LL TURN IT OVER TO SEAN FOR THE MAINTENANCE DISCUSSION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT. 
          REALLY EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT OUR NATIONAL PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH, WHICH OCCURS EVERY JULY. 
          UM, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 1985, AND IT'S ORGANIZED BY OUR NATIONAL AGENCY, NRPA. 
          UM, SO WHAT THIS ALLOWS US TO DO AS A, A END INDUSTRY IS TO HIGHLIGHT AND REALLY BRING AWARENESS TO WHAT PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENTS AND PROFESSIONALS BRING TO THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. 
          AND SO I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU JUST THE FACT THAT PARKS AND RECREATION, UM, OUR DEPARTMENT SPECIFICALLY AND OUR PROFESSIONALS, WE ARE, WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN THE FACT THAT WE'RE ABLE TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. 
          WE'RE ABLE TO CREATE SOME ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTHY ACTIVITIES FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO REALLY ENHANCE WHAT'S GOING ON. 
          UM, WITH THIS, WE HAVE REALLY CHANGED THE WAY WE'RE CELEBRATING OUR MONTH. 
          UH, YOU ALL, WERE PART OF JULY 4TH, THAT'S TYPICALLY OUR KICKOFF EVENT. 
          UM, BUT WE, THIS YEAR DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT, A LITTLE FUN. 
          SO WE HAVE A BRAND NEW SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN THAT WE LAUNCHED JULY 1ST. 
          AND IF YOU SEE IN MY SPOT, UM, I BROUGHT DILI WITH ME. 
          DILI IS A ARMADILLO. 
          HE IS OUR PARKS AND RECREATION FRIEND THAT WE HAVE INTRODUCED TO THE PUBLIC. 
          AND THIS IS A GREAT WAY FOR US TO SHOWCASE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT. 
          UH, DILI MADE A DEBUT AT OUR DISC GOLF EVENT, AS WELL AS HE'S GONNA BE AT OUR DIVE IN MOVIE. 
          UM, PART OF THAT ENGAGEMENT IS ALLOWING HIM TO BE ABLE TO PUT CLUES OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA SO PEOPLE CAN FIND HIM AND DO SELFIES WITH HIM. 
          ANOTHER REALLY GREAT FEATURE OF HAVING HIM IS WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH ONE OF OUR, UH, NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES. 
          UM, HE HAS A NEW FRIEND IN ANOTHER CITY AND WE'RE KIND OF GOING BACK AND FORTH ON ACTIVITIES THAT THEY'RE DOING TOGETHER. 
          SO IT'S BEEN VERY, UM, RECEIVED VERY WELL FROM THE COMMUNITY. 
          THEY'VE REALLY ENJOYED IT SO FAR. 
          BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE HAVE SEVERAL CUSTOMER APPRECIATION EVENTS THAT WE'RE DOING THROUGHOUT THIS MONTH. 
          UM, AND AS I MENTIONED, OUR DIVE IN MOVIE, WHICH IS ALSO PART OF OUR CELEBRATION. 
          SO IT'S JUST A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO FIND NEW WAYS TO BRING OUR SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY AND REALLY HIGHLIGHT WHAT WE DO AND THE GREAT AMENITIES THAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO OFFER. 
          SO I KNOW, UM, TYPICALLY WE WOULD RECOGNIZE OUR STAFF. 
          I KNOW THEY'RE WATCHING TONIGHT, SO I JUST WANNA TAKE THIS TIME AS WELL TO HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT WE HAVE SO MANY STAFF WHO ARE WORKING YEAR ROUND TO BRING GREAT SERVICES. 
          AND AS YOU'LL HEAR, UM, GREAT PROGRAMS AND UPDATES TO OUR PARKS AS WELL. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT. 
          AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I CAN ANSWER THOSE OR ELSE I'LL TURN IT OVER TO SEAN. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          AND HAPPY PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH TO EVERYONE. 
          UM, SO NOW THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR, UH, FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE HERE.

          UM, SO JUST A BRIEF OVERVIEW. 
          UM, I'LL GIVE YOU A BRIEF SNAPSHOT OF THE PARKS MAINTENANCE DIVISION, UH, TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION, UM, BUDGET, PRIORITY LETTER, UM, TALK ABOUT OUR CAPITAL ASSET ASSESSMENT PROGRAM. 
          UM, UPDATE YOU ON SOME OF THE, UH, PARK MAINTENANCE FUND PROJECTS THAT WE DID OR IN THE PROCESS OF DOING IN FISCAL YEAR 25. 
          AND THEN LOOK AHEAD TO THOSE PROJECTS. 
          WE HAVE A KIND OF IN THAT PRELIMINARY WORK PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 26, EXCUSE ME. 
          SO JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE, THE PARKS MAINTENANCE DIVISION. 
          UM, 49 EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING OUR PARK SUPERINTENDENT, JEFF JACKSON, TWO ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENTS, SIX SUPERVISORS, AND THEN VARIOUS PARK MAINTENANCE SPECIALISTS, UH, SENIOR MAINTENANCE HELPERS AND PARK MAINTENANCE HELPERS. 
          THEY MAINTAINED 42 PARKS, ABOUT 510 ACRES OF MEDIAN AND RIGHT OF WAY 93 MILES OF TRAIL THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

          WE MAINTAIN THE CITY'S TREE SWEEPING CONTRACT.

          UM, WE STEWARD NATURAL AREAS, NOTABLY RIDGE PARK AND SPRING CREEK NATURE AREA.

          WILDFLOWER COTTONWOOD, FAMILY FOURTH HUFFINES, HARVEST FEST, SANDS VILLAGE, CHRISTMAS PARADE, SO ON AND SO FORTH. 
          DO A LOT OF HOLIDAY DECORATION, ESPECIALLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE LAST TWO. 
          AND THEN ALSO MAINTAIN ALL THE LANDSCAPING ON CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE'RE VERY PROUD OF. 
          HE'S REALLY CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN CENTRAL FROM DALLAS, ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE IN RICHARDSON, IT LOOKS GREAT, THEN YOU'RE IN PLANO AND IT A LITTLE BIT OF A NOSE DIVE AGAIN. 
          UM, AND THEN WANTED TO MENTION BRIEFLY 'CAUSE WE THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY. 
          UM, I KNOW YOU'VE ALL RECEIVED COPIES OF THE PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION BUDGET, PRIORITY LETTER, UM, BUT ONE TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE ITEMS THAT MAY, THAT LETTER THIS YEAR. 
          AND THAT IS A MONTHS LONG PROCESS THAT YVONNE SPENCER AND I GO THROUGH WITH THE COMMISSIONERS TO DEVELOP THAT LIST OF, OF PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES THAT THE COMMISSION WANTS TO RECOMMEND TO YOU AS A COUNCIL THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THEM, THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS. 
          UM, WE BRING SOME, THEY BRING SOME, WE VET THOSE VERY, VERY THOROUGHLY. 
          EVERY COMMISSIONER FILLS OUT A SCORE SHEET TO, UH, TO DETERMINE HOW THAT'S GOING TO RANK. 
          AND THEN THEY TALK, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT WHAT MAKES ON THE LIST, HOW DO WE ORDER THOSE, HOW DO WE WANT TO PRESENT THIS TO THE COUNCIL? AND JUST TO RUN THROUGH THAT LIST SOME OF THE THINGS THAT, UH, THAT THEY BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION. 
          I THINK YOU HAVE A COPY OF THE LETTER AT YOUR PLACE TONIGHT AS WELL. 
          UM, TENNIS COURT RESURFACING, UH, PREFABRICATED RESTROOM BUILDINGS TO REPLACE THE OLDER RESTROOM BUILDINGS AND PARKS, WHICH WE'VE DONE A LITTLE BIT OF OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. 
          REPLACING THE SAUNA AT HEIGHT RECREATION CENTER, UM, IN GENERAL TRAIL SIGNAGE, WAVE FIGHTING SIGNAGE AND INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE THROUGHOUT OUR PARKS. 
          UM, CONVERSION OF BALL FIELD LIGHTS TO A CLOUD-BASED CONTROL SYSTEM. 
          UM, REPLACEMENT OF THE A DA CHAIR LIFTS AT NEIGHBORHOOD POOLS, UH, REPLACING THE STAGE CURTAIN AT THE HUFFINES RECREATION CENTER, UH, PURCHASING MORE IPADS FOR OUR MAINTENANCE STAFF TO ALLOW THEM TO, UH, ACCESS OUR WORK MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE SYSTEM BETTER IN THE FIELD. 
          UM, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR PROXIMATE RECREATION STAFF ACROSS THE DEPARTMENT AND INSTALLATION OF MORE SEATING NODES IN PARKS. 
          AND THAT LAST ONE IS SOMETHING THAT, UH, THAT CAME UP IN THE PARK RECREATION OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN RECENTLY. 
          THAT WAS A DESIRE BY OUR, OUR CITIZENS TO HAVE MORE AREAS THAT WERE NOT NECESSARILY AMPHITHEATER, BUT MAYBE BIGGER THAN JUST A, A SINGLE BENCH. 
          AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING INTO. 
          I'M TRYING TO DEVELOP A WAY TO, TO ADDRESS THAT NEED. 
          BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST AS THE NOTE SAYS THERE AT THE BOTTOM, THAT IS PER ORDINANCE, THAT THE, UH, THE PARK RECREATION COMMISSION, UM, IS CHARGED TO ADVISE YOU ANNUALLY ON BUDGET PRIORITIES. 
          AND THEN I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR ANNUAL, UH, CAPITAL ASSET ASSESSMENT. 
          THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN DOING SINCE, SINCE 2018, AS A WAY TO TAKE A HARD LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE CAPITAL ASSETS AND PARKS. 
          THESE ARE GENERALLY ITEMS OR SYSTEMS THAT ARE VALUED OVER ABOUT $10,000. 
          UM, WE DO AN INVENTORY AT EACH OF OUR PARKS. 
          UH, WE HAVE 42 NOW, AND OUR OWN PARKS CREW MEMBERS ACTUALLY PERFORM THOSE ASSESSMENTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          WE LIKE TO HAVE THE SAME STAFF MEMBERS EACH YEAR DO THE ASSESSMENT ON THE SAME CLASS OF ASSET PLAYGROUND OR PAVILION OR BRIDGE, WHATEVER IT IS, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE GUYS WHO ARE OUT THERE WORKING ON THOSE THINGS DAY IN, DAY OUT. 
          THEY OSTENSIBLY KNOW THEM BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE DOES. 
          THEY KNOW WHERE KIND OF THOSE PINCH POINTS ARE AND ARE ABLE TO GIVE US A, A REAL HONEST ASSESSMENT ON, ON WHAT THOSE ASSETS ARE LOOKING LIKE. 
          THEY SCORE THOSE IN FIVE AREAS. 
          UM, AND THOSE ARE WEIGHTED, YOU CAN SEE THE PERCENTAGES THERE, SAFETY AGE, STRUCTURAL SOUNDNESS, UTILITY AND APPEARANCE. 
          UM, AND THEN THOSE ARE ALL EXPRESSED ON A FIVE POINT SCALE BETWEEN FIVE BEING ES EXCELLENT AND ONE BEING POOR. 
          SO EVERY ASSET GETS A SCORE IN EACH OF THOSE AREAS. 
          AND THEN THOSE ARE ALL WEIGHTED AND THEY COME TOGETHER FOR A TOTAL OVERALL ASSET SCORE. 
          UM, THESE ARE THE ASSET CLASSES THAT WE LOOK AT EVERY YEAR, UM, FROM IRRIGATION SYSTEMS, LIGHTING SYSTEMS, MEDIAN LANDSCAPING, PAVILIONS, PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES, PLAYGROUNDS, RESTROOMS, SPORTS FIELDS, STORAGE BUILDINGS, TENNIS COURTS, TRAILS AND WATER FEATURES. 
          AND THEN THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE, UH, THE ASSET ASSESSMENT FORMS THAT THEY USE OUT IN THE FIELD. 
          SO WE'LL SEND THIS OUT WITH A TEAM, USUALLY OF THREE STAFF MEMBERS TO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, IN THIS CASE THIS WAS A RESTROOM INSPECTION FORM. 
          THIS IS THE ONE FOR, FOR YALE PARK. 
          UM, THEY PUT THE NAME, NAME OF THE PARK THERE, AN INSPECTION DATE, WHO'S ON THE TEAM, AND THEN THEY RANK IT ON EACH OF THOSE, THOSE FOUR CATEGORIES. 
          IN THIS CASE, BECAUSE AGE, WE COMPUTE, BECAUSE WE KNOW THE AGE, BUT ALL THESE ASSETS WERE CONSTRUCTED OR INSTALLED. 
          AND SO WE KIND OF DO THAT IN THE OFFICE BASED ON ON WHAT YEAR IT IS NOW, UM, PLACE FOR 'EM TO LEAVE, COMMENTS, AND THEN JUST OVERALL NOTES. 
          BUT THEN WE TAKE THOSE SCORES, THE FOUR, THE THREE, THE FOUR, THE THREE, YOU KNOW, WEIGHT THOSE, AND THEN EXPRESS 'EM, UM, IN A SPREADSHEET TO COME UP WITH THE OVERALL ASSET SCORE. 
          AND THEN HERE ARE SOME OF THE RESULTS, UH, OF THIS YEAR'S ASSESSMENT. 
          WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE 
          [01:30:01]
IS, UH, USE THE STACK BAR GRAPH TO SHOW YOU THE NUMBER OF ASSETS OR THE PERCENTAGE OF ASSETS THAT ARE RATED EITHER AS EXCELLENT OR GOOD. 
          SO A FIVE OR A FOUR ON, ON THE FIVE POINT SCALE. 
          UM, WE HAVE AN IRRIGATION LIGHTING SYSTEMS, MEDIAN LANDSCAPE PAVILIONS, PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES AND PLAYGROUNDS. 
          AND OUR, OUR GOAL WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROGRAM, UM, WAS WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WE HAD WAS A, WAS A THREE OR BETTER ON THAT FIVE POINT SCALE. 
          AND THAT'S REALLY KIND OF OUR, OUR WATCH WORDS. 
          WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS EVERY YEAR. 
          UM, WE'VE GOT EIGHT YEARS OF DATA NOW, SO WE CAN START TO SEE TRENDS. 
          WE CAN START TO SEE THINGS DECLINING OR SOMETHING THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT LOWER NOW HAS JUMPED UP BECAUSE WE HAVE REPLACED IT OR WE HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS OR, OR RENOVATIONS TO IT. 
          UM, WE'RE IN, WE'RE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE IN A LOT OF THESE, THESE ASSET CLASSES. 
          UM, BY AND LARGE, THERE ARE ONLY THREE OR FOUR INDIVIDUAL ASSETS THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM THAT ARE RATED BELOW A THREE, AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WILL TYPICALLY COME UP ON OUR, OUR WORK PLAN FOR THE NEXT YEAR BECAUSE WE WANT TO, TO CORRECT THAT SITUATION. 
          AND THEN HERE'S ANOTHER SET OF, OF RESULTS FOR RESTROOM SPORTS FIELDS TOWARDS BUILDINGS, TENNIS COURTS, TRAILS, AND WATER FEATURES. 
          AND SO THEN TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT, UH, WE TOOK ON THIS YEAR AS A RESULT OF THE 2024 ASSET ASSESSMENT, UH, FIRST OF ALL WAS A REPAIR TO THE, UH, THE, THE CONCRETE RAMP, THE KINDA KIND OF A STONE VENEER WALL ON THAT RAMP LEADING UP TO THE BRIDGE THAT GOES OVER. 
          UM, I THINK THAT'S HUNT BRANCH, UH, THAT GOES THROUGH MCKINNEY SPRING PARK. 
          AND FOR, FOR REASONS THAT, UH, EVEN THE ENGINEERS WE HIRED CAN'T COMPLETELY ASCERTAIN THAT WALL WAS FAILING. 
          THE RAMP ITSELF AND THE BRIDGE WERE STRUCTURALLY FINE, BUT THAT STONE VENEER WAS CRUMBLING AND FALLING OFF. 
          AND SO WE HIRED A CONSULTANT TO DEVELOP, UH, WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PICTURE THERE, WHICH IS KIND OF STACKED LIMESTONE BLOCKS TO, TO SHORE THAT BACK UP, REPLACE THE FILL THAT WAS UNDER THAT RAMP. 
          AND WE GOT THAT COMPLETED IN 2025 AT A COST OF ABOUT $255,000. 
          AND IT LOOKS FANTASTIC. 
          UH, THEN WE REPLACED THE FENCE AROUND THE TENNIS COURT AT YALE PARK. 
          THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS JUST KIND OF, UH, NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FOR ANY SORT OF CHAIN LINK FENCE IN A PARK. 
          THEY EVENTUALLY GET, GET DAMAGE WEAR OUT. 
          UH, WE COMPLETED THAT JUST LAST MONTH. 
          UH, THE BUDGET FOR THAT WAS $45,000, REPLACED THAT CHAIN LINK FABRIC, PAINTED THE POLES AND KIND OF GAVE THAT A, UH, LITTLE BIT OF A REFRESH. 
          ALSO, UH, A PROJECT THAT WE'RE REALLY, REALLY HAPPY TO, UH, TO BE COMPLETE WITH WAS DOING SOME RENOVATIONS ON THE BURNS ALONG A RAINIER LINEAR PARK, WHICH IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF RENNER BETWEEN SYNERGY PARK AND, UH, AND CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY. 
          UM, WE HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THESE REALLY GREAT BERMS WITH THE MATURE TREES ON 'EM, WHERE THE TREES ARE DOING FANTASTIC, BUT UNFORTUNATELY SHEDDING OUT THE GRASS. 
          SO WE'D HAVE RUNOFF WHEN IT RAINS OR WHEN THE IRRIGATION RAN, WE GET DIRT AND MUD AND WATER ON THE TRAILS. 
          SO, UH, WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD COME THROUGH WITH KIND OF THIS, UH, RIVER ROCK TREATMENT THAT WE DO IN A LOT OF PLACES AROUND TOWN. 
          BUT TALKING WITH OUR CONTRACTOR, TALKING WITH OUR, OUR DESIGN STAFF DECIDED THAT BUILDING THESE SHORT RETAINING WALLS IN SOME OF THOSE AREAS WHERE WE SAW THAT HAPPENING THE WORST WAS GONNA BE A MUCH BETTER WAY TO, TO CORRECT THAT PROBLEM. 
          UM, SO THAT WAS JUST COMPLETED THIS MONTH ACTUALLY. 
          UM, OUR, OUR HARDSCAPE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE AN ANNUAL CONTRACT WITH CAME THROUGH, BUILT THOSE WALLS AND SOME PLACES WENT AHEAD, DID THE MOST TRIPS AND THE, UH, THE ROCK TREATMENT AS YOU SEE THERE. 
          AND THEN IF YOU SEE DOWN THERE ON THE TRAIL ITSELF, THEY STAINED A BAND ABOUT A FOOT WIDE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THOSE WALLS JUST AS ANOTHER VISUAL INDICATOR THAT THERE'S SOMETHING THERE. 
          SO SOMEBODY ON A BICYCLE OR RUNNING FULL TILT, JOGGING DOWN THE TRAIL, UM, KIND OF HAS A LITTLE BIT MORE INDICATION THAT THERE'S SOMETHING THERE. 
          WE DON'T ANYBODY TO, UH, TO KNOCK THEIR SHINS ON THOSE WALLS OR ANYTHING. 
          BUT WE HAVE THE SAME THING ON THE, UH, THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE TRAIL. 
          THESE ARE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE TRAIL. 
          WE'RE SEEING THAT EROSION, UM, THE WORSE. 
          SO WE'RE REALLY, REALLY HOPEFUL THAT THIS IS GONNA IMPROVE THE CONDITION OF THAT TRAIL. 
          WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH CLEANUP TO DO AFTER RAIN EVENTS. 
          IT'S GONNA BE MORE USEFUL. 
          I HAVE GREATER UTILITY FOR CITIZENS THAT ARE USING THE TRAIL GOING FORWARD. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY LEFT AND IN THE PARKS MAINTENANCE FUND FOR, UM, IRRIGATION RENOVATION JUST BECAUSE WE'VE ADDED AREAS LIKE THE, THE ROCK YOU SEE THERE, YOU KNOW, THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE IRRIGATED ANYMORE. 
          SO WE'LL HAVE SOMEONE COME IN AND KIND OF RE REORIENT THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM. 
          SO WE'RE JUST WATERING, UH, THE TURF GRASS WHERE WE NEED TO. 
          NOW WE ALSO RENOVATED THE, THE MEDIAN ON EAST SPRING VALLEY, UM, TO KIND OF BRING IT UP TO OUR MORE MODERN LANDSCAPE STYLE, UH, REMOVE SOME OF THE OLD IMPRINTED CONCRETE, DID THE RIVER ROCK BANDS LIKE WE LOVE TO DO THESE DAYS. 
          UM, AND JUST SPRUCE THAT UP. 
          SOME NEW PLANTINGS, A LITTLE BIT OF FLAGSTONE ACCENTS, UH, WHICH SUPPORTED THE COUNCIL TACTIC FROM FROM LAST YEAR TO EXPAND THE MEDIA AND MAINTENANCE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM. 
          UH, THE BUDGET FOR THAT WAS $155,000 AND THAT ALSO WAS COMPLETED JUST THIS MONTH. 
          AND THEN AS SOON AS WE CAN, WE'RE GONNA START ON THE WEST BELTLINE ROAD MEDIAN RENOVATION, UH, BETWEEN ABOUT CENTRAL AND COT, UH, TO DO MUCH OF THE SAME THING. 
          YOU CAN SEE A PICTURE THERE, UM, OF THE CITY ENTRY SIGN RIGHT 
          [01:35:01]
THERE AT KOT. 
          UH, BUT WE'RE DOING THE SAME SORT OF TREATMENT, REMOVING THE OLDER IMPRINTED CONCRETE THAT DOESN'T LOOK GREAT DOING OUR RIVER ROCK BANDS FLAGSTONE ACCENTS, REFRESHING PLANTINGS, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, UH, ASIAN JASMINE AND THINGS LIKE THAT, A AS NECESSARY, UH, TO GIVE THAT A BETTER LOOK. 
          UM, THAT'S ANOTHER ONE THAT'S BUDGETED FOR ABOUT $155,000. 
          AND AS SOON AS SOME OF THE ROAD PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING ON, ON BELTLINE ARE COMPLETE, UM, AND THOSE LANES ARE, ARE CLEARED, THEN WE CAN CLOSE DOWN A LANE TO LET OUR CONTRACTORS WORK ON THAT PROJECT AS WELL. 
          UM, WE ARE ALSO GOING TO, UM, GRASS IN THE INFIELD OF POINT NORTH PARK ON THE BALL FIELD THERE. 
          UM, THAT'S A BALL FIELD THAT, THAT WE DO NOT PROGRAM ANYMORE FOR LEAGUE PLAY OR, UM, ANYTHING. 
          SO IT'S GONNA BE MUCH MORE USEFUL TO US AND TO CITIZENS TO HAVE THAT BE A GRASS INFIELD AVAILABLE FOR PICKUP PLAY PRACTICES, WHATEVER PEOPLE WANT TO DO, BUT KIND OF REDUCES A LITTLE BIT OF THE, UH, RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR BALL FIELD MAINTENANCE CREW TO HAVE TO DRAG THAT AND PREP THE, THE SKINNED INFIELD THERE. 
          UM, THAT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW, GRADING THAT OUT, PUTTING NEW IRRIGATION IN BECAUSE IT WASN'T IRRIGATED BEFORE. 
          AND THEN WE'LL SOB THAT. 
          UM, AND THAT SHOULD BE UP TO SPEED LATER THIS SUMMER. 
          ONCE THAT GROWS IN, UH, THEN WE'RE ALSO AT POINT NORTH PARK GOING TO DO SOME WORK ON THE SECURITY LIGHTING THERE. 
          UM, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO INSTALL SOME SOLAR SECURITY LIGHTING, UH, WHICH WE LOVE TO DO. 
          UM, AND AS SOON AS THE CONTRACT WORKING ON THE A 25 PRESSURE ZONE PROJECT HAS MOVED OUT SUFFICIENTLY TO ALLOW US TO GET IN THERE TO DO THAT WORK, UH, WE'RE GONNA INSTALL AT LEAST A COUPLE OF SECURITY LIGHTS JUST TO IMPROVE SECURITY IN THAT PARK. 
          UM, THAT SHOULD BE COMPLETED THIS SUMMER AS WELL. 
          AND THEN IN AUGUST, WE'RE GONNA APPLY A ROLL COAT TO THE SAFETY SURFACING AT THE BRECKENRIDGE PARK PLAYGROUND. 
          THIS IS THE NEW PLAYGROUND THAT'S OVER BY, UH, THE KEER FIELD BALL FIELDS. 
          UM, AS YOU MAY RECALL, THAT HAS A PORT IN PLACE. 
          SAFETY SURFACING IS OUR SECOND ONE IN OUR SYSTEM. 
          UM, AND BEST PRACTICE FOR, FOR THIS TYPE OF SAFETY SURFACING IS BASICALLY TO APPLY ANOTHER THIN COAT OF THE BINDER THAT HOLDS THAT SAFETY SURFACING TOGETHER TO THE TOP OF THE SURFACE, BASICALLY AS A WEAR LAYER. 
          SO AS PEOPLE ARE WALKING ON IT, RUNNING ON IT, UM, YOU KNOW, MOVING ACROSS IT THAT WEARS DOWN INSTEAD OF THE SAFETY SURFACING ITSELF. 
          UM, BEST PRACTICE IS TO DO THAT ABOUT EIGHT EVERY 18 TO 24 MONTHS. 
          UM, SO WE'RE ABOUT, UM, A LITTLE OVER A YEAR IN RIGHT NOW. 
          SO WE WANNA GET ON A ROUTINE OF, OF DOING THAT EVERY TWO YEARS OR SO, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE GET ALL THE LONGEVITY OUTTA THAT SAFETY SURFACING WE CAN. 
          WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT AT THE ANN EISMAN PLAYGROUND EVER SINCE IT OPENED, AND IT IS HELD UP REALLY, REALLY WELL. 
          AND WE ALWAYS GET COMMENTS FROM THE CONTRACTOR THAT COMES TO DO IT, THAT THEY CAN'T BELIEVE HOW WELL THE SAFETY SURFACE IS HOLDING UP. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, GUYS, YOU'RE OUT HERE EVERY, EVERY TWO YEARS OR SO DOING THIS, SO YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS IS WHAT YOU TOLD US. 
          UM, THAT'S WHY IT WEARS SO WELL. 
          UM, AND THEN AS DON SAID, OUR PRELIMINARY WORK PLAN, UM, FOR, FOR FISCAL YEAR 26. 
          AND THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DEVELOPED AS A RESULT OF OUR ASSET ASSESSMENT. 
          AND THEN A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT WE JUST KNOW NEED TO BE DONE AND WILL FIT REALLY, REALLY WELL INTO, UH, BEING FUNDED BY THE PARK MAINTENANCE FUND. 
          UM, AS I JUST MENTIONED, PUTTING A ROLL CODE ON THE SAFETY SURFACING AT THE AMAN PLAYGROUND AT COTTONWOOD PARK. 
          THAT WAS LAST DONE IN 24, SO WE HELPED TO DO THAT AGAIN IN FISCAL YEAR 26 TO KEEP THAT UP TO SHAPE. 
          UM, MORE MEDIAN LANDSCAPE RENOVATION. 
          UM, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE REALLY BEEN DOING A LOT OF LATELY, UM, AND REALLY ARE, ARE GRATIFIED TO DO BECAUSE IT IMPROVED THE LOOK OF THE CITY SO MUCH. 
          UH, FOR THIS YEAR, WE WANNA DO WATERVIEW BETWEEN SPRING VALLEY AND BELTLINE WITH A SIMILAR SORT OF LANDSCAPE DESIGN THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING AROUND TOWN, UM, THAT MODERN STYLE RIVER ROCK BANDS, RUTH, THE IMPRINTED CONCRETE, UM, ET CETERA. 
          AND THEN ALSO ON YALE BETWEEN CENTENNIAL AND COLLINS. 
          WE'VE GOT A START ON THIS, UM, DOWN SOUTH OF, OF SPRING VALLEY. 
          WE WANNA CONTINUE WORKING NORTH. 
          THESE ARE TO, AS FAR AS I KNOW, SOME OF THE OLDEST, UM, IMPROVED MEDIAN LANDSCAPE IN THE CITY. 
          UM, AND THEY'RE REALLY SHOWING THEIR AGE. 
          I THINK IT'S TIME TO, UH, TO SPRUCE THEM UP A LITTLE BIT SO THEY LOOK A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER STUFF WE'VE DONE AROUND TOWN. 
          UM, AND THEN CALLING BACK TO THE, UH, THE PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION, UH, BUDGET PRIORITY LETTER, THE YALE PARK RESTROOM, UM, WOULD BE NEXT ON OUR LIST OR A PLACE WITH A PREFAB RESTROOM BUILDING. 
          UM, WE'VE DONE THESE SEVERAL LOCATIONS AROUND TOWN, MOST RECENTLY, A COUPLE YEARS AGO AT CREEK HOLLOW PARK. 
          BUT WE ALSO HAVE THESE PREFAB BUILDINGS AT HUFFINES PARK, AT THE BUSH CENTRAL PARKWAY AND AT COTTONWOOD PARK NEXT TO THE ANANA INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND. 
          UM, SO THIS WILL BE REPLACING THIS OLD, UM, CMU BUILDING WITH A MODERN, UH, RESTROOM, UH, THAT PREFABRICATED SHIP IN CRANED INTO PLACE. 
          UM, IT'S A GREAT, GREAT WAY TO BUILD A, UH, A SMALLER RESTROOM BUILDING LIKE THAT. 
          AND AS I NOTED THIS INCLUDED IN THE PARK, UH, WHICH A PRIORITY LETTER. 
          UM, WE'D LIKE TO DO SOME, UH, SIGNIFICANT REPAIRS TO THE TRAIL AT CAMPBELL RIDGE PARK THAT RUNS, UH, ALONG CAMPBELL, UM, BETWEEN CUSTER AND NANTUCKET. 
          UM, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE THERE, THERE ARE A LOT OF AREAS WHERE THE CONCRETE IS CRACKING. 
          HEAVING HAS GOTTEN A LITTLE BIT TILTED. 
          UH, WE'D LIKE TO, TO USE SOME OF THAT FUNDING TO REPLACE SOME OF THOSE PANELS, UH, GET THAT BACK INTO A LEVEL THAT'S A, A MAJOR WALKWAY, ESPECIALLY 
          [01:40:01]
FOR STUDENTS GOING TO UTD, UM, AND CITIZENS IN GENERAL, UH, THAT NEEDS A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE. 
          UM, THAT'LL BE SELECTIVE REPLACEMENTS, SOME OF THOSE PANELS THROUGHOUT THERE, UM, THAT WOULD REALLY, REALLY MAKE A BENEFIT AND IMPROVE THE PARK. 
          AND THEN HERE'S A CLOSEUP SHOT OF ONE OF THE COLUMNS AT HUFFINES PARK. 
          AND THIS IS UNDER THE PAVILION. 
          UM, THAT ENTIRE SLAB REALLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. 
          UM, IT'S CRACKED AND HEAVED AND REALLY STARTING TO, TO NOT BE AS USEFUL AS IT HAS, ESPECIALLY AS WE'VE HAD MORE, MORE EVENTS AND MORE ACTIVITY AT HUFFINES PARK. 
          THIS WOULD BE A, A GREAT THING TO DO TO IMPROVE THAT, NOT ONLY FOR US AND AND PROGRAMMING EVENTS THERE, BUT ALSO FOR CITIZENS WHO RESERVE THAT PAVILION FOR BIRTHDAY PARTIES, CHURCH PICNIC, NICKS, UM, WHATEVER IT MAY BE. 
          IT'S ONE OF OUR MORE POPULAR PAVILIONS AND WE NEED TO SHOW THAT A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE. 
          AND THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL SLAB REPLACEMENT, UM, UNDER THE PAVILION. 
          AND SO HERE'S A, A SUMMARY TO KINDA LIST ALL THOSE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE ON OUR PRELIMINARY PLAN. 
          UM, AS DON MENTIONED, AS WE, YOU KNOW, GET THE, THE BUDGET FOR THE, THE PARK MAINTENANCE FUND AND WHAT THAT TRANSFER OUT WILL BE REFINED, WE'LL BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH, UM, AND PICK OUT WHAT'S GOING TO TO MEET THAT AND MATCH OUR NEEDS THE BEST. 
          UM, AND THEN HERE'S A MAP OF WHERE THOSE PROJECTS ARE LOCATED, UH, THROUGHOUT THE CITY AS WELL. 
          IS THIS, YOU GONNA GET A SENSE OF THE, THE GEOGRAPHICAL SCOPE OF THOSE? SO NEXT STEP IS TO REALLY START DEVELOPING THESE PROJECT PLANS AND, AND MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE, UM, BEGIN MORE IN DEPTH PROJECT PLANNING SO WE MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO TAKE AND THEN WE'LL FINALIZE THAT WORK PLAN, UM, AS WE RECEIVE CERTIFIED PROPERTY TAX VALUES AND THE CITY MANAGER, UM, PREPARES AND FILES THE BUDGET. 
          AND THAT IS ALL I HAVE, BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY, SEAN, GREAT PRESENTATION. 
          I'VE JUST GOT ONE QUESTION, UH, TO START OFF WITH AT LEAST. 
          UM, YOU HAD MENTIONED THE ONE WALL THAT WAS FALLING DOWN AND THERE WASN'T REALLY A WHOLE LOT OF KIND OF FEEDBACK OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED THERE. 
          AND IT IT'S, AS I LOOKED AT A COUPLE OF THOSE, UM, ITEMS TOWARDS THE VERY END, THE SIDEWALK AND THE ONE SLAB THAT YOU WERE WANTING TO, UH, REPLACE, DO WE HAVE A PROCESS AT THIS POINT BY WHICH WE RECOGNIZE THAT SOMETHING HAS FAILED PERHAPS EARLIER THAN WE ANTICIPATED JUST FOR FUTURE REVIEW? UM, YOU KNOW, IT KIND OF DEPENDS ON WHAT THE ASSET IS OR WHAT WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING AT. 
          SO IN THE, YOU KNOW, IN THE CASE OF LIKE THE TRAIL AT CAMPBELL RIDGE PARK OR THE SLAB AT AT HUFFINES PARK, I THINK THOSE ARE NORMAL KINDA LIFE CYCLE THINGS FOR THOSE, FOR THOSE ASSETS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE, WE CAN DO A GREAT JOB WITH OUR STAFF OF RECOGNIZING WHEN A TRAIL IS IS CRACKED UP TOO MUCH AND, YOU KNOW, WE MAKE SURE IF WE GO IN AND REPLACE A PANEL OR TWO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND MAKING SURE WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT SUB BASE, MAKING SURE IT'S BROUGHT UP TO SPEED SO THAT IT'LL SUPPORT THE, THE NEW TRAIL WE PUT IN, YOU KNOW, FOR THE, THAT BRIDGE OF MCKAMEY SPRING. 
          THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT OUTSIDE OF OUR, OUR NORMAL REMIT AS, AS PARK PROFESSIONALS. 
          AND THAT'S WHY WE BROUGHT IN ENGINEERS AND WE CONSULTED WITH CAPITAL PROJECTS AND ENGINEERING AND ENDED UP HIRING A CONSULTANT TO COME TAKE, TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THAT. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, AND EVEN THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD SOME THEORIES ABOUT MAYBE THE FOOTINGS WEREN'T SUFFICIENT WHEN THIS WAS POURED. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, DIDN'T KNOW WHY THIS SIDE FAILED THE OTHER DIDN'T THAT, THAT, THAT WAS KIND OF GOT TO JUST MORE TO, TO, TO RAISE A POINT THAT WE DID LOOK FOR OUTSIDE HELP ON THAT BECAUSE WE COULDN'T MAKE THAT DETERMINATION OURSELVES. 
          ALL WE COULD SEE IS THAT THE STONE VENEER WAS FALLING OFF AND WE, AND THEN WE NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING. 
          SO WE, WE DEFINITELY LEVERAGED OUR, OUR COLLEAGUES IN THE CITY AND CONSULTANTS AS WE NEED TO IF SOMETHING IS A LITTLE BIT OUT OF THE ORDINARY. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          AND APPRECIATE, UH, APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION COUNCIL MEMBER DORIAN. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          UH, THANK YOU ALL. 
          THANK YOU SEAN FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          IT'S REALLY AMAZING YOU'RE DOING SOME EXCEPTIONAL WORK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I SPECIFICALLY LIKE MC, KATIE, UH, PARK, ACTUALLY I DID. 
          OH, GREAT. 
          TAKE A LOOK AT IT. 
          Y'ALL DID A REALLY NICE JOB AND, AND THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL PARK AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IT'S THERE REALLY. 
          IT'S UH, BUT IT'S JUST, IT'S A NICE LITTLE HIDDEN G AND ALSO TOO, I LIKE DILLY BY THE WAY. 
          AND , YVONNE AND I WERE IN THE SAME LR CLASS AND DID, WHAT DID WE USE THE TERM? DILLY DILLY. 
          I REMEMBER DILLY DILLY BEING USED SOMEWHERE IN LR. 
          I'M NOT EVEN REALLY SURE WHAT IT WAS. 
          WE JUST SAID DILLY DILLY. 
          I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHERE IT WAS GOING TO , BUT ANYWAY, I, UH, I I'D LIKE, UH, DILI. 
          I'M SO WELCOME, DILI. 
          OKAY. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER CORCORAN. 
          THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. 
          I WOULD JUST LIKE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE PARKS LETTER. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, IT, I DON'T THINK I REALIZED JUST HOW MUCH WORK WENT INTO IT UNTIL I ACTUALLY SAT IN ON THE PARKS COMMISSION MEETINGS AS THE LIAISON AND REALLY SAW, I MEAN, IT IS HOURS AND HOURS OF WORK BOTH WITHIN THE COMMISSION AND OUTSIDE OF THE COMMISSION ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSIONERS AND CITY STAFF TO MAKE THIS LETTER OF RECOMMENDATIONS COME TOGETHER. 
          AND I KNOW THAT GIVEN JUST THE WAY THINGS ARE TRENDING THIS YEAR, I DID ADVISE THE COMMISSION TO KEEP THE RECOMMENDATIONS PRETTY TIGHT. 
          BUT WHAT I WOULD ASK ALL OF US ON CITY COUNCIL TO DO IS JUST OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AS WE'RE MEETING WITH DON, AS WE'RE MEETING WITH, UM, YOU KNOW, OTHER STAFF MEMBERS, JUST 
          [01:45:01]
KEEP LOOK THROUGH THE LETTER AND SEE WHAT STICKS OUT TO YOU FOR THINGS THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO SEE IN THE BUDGET. 
          UM, JUST SO THAT THIS LETTER DOESN'T NECESSARILY GO TO WASTE OR FALL BY THE WAYSIDE BECAUSE A LOT OF WORK DID GO INTO IT AND, UM, JUST KIND OF WANTED TO, TO MAKE THAT PLUG THERE AND MAKE THAT ASK. 
          SO YEAH. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND, AND SORRY NOT FOR NOT CALLING YOU EARLIER, UH, PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE CALLED YOU FIRST ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, BUT THANK YOU FOR, UH, THAT ADDITIONAL INPUT. 
          UH, MAYOR PRO TIMM HUTCHIN RIDER. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR SEAN. 
          GREAT PRESENTATION, GREAT INFORMATION. 
          UM, TWO CONCERNS BACK FIVE YEARS AGO, UM, WHEN THIS PRESENTATION WAS GIVEN TO US, I MENTIONED TO LORI, UM, TWO ITEMS THAT I ASK THAT WE, WE AT SOME POINT WORK ON TO THE BUDGET AND NEITHER ONE OF 'EM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED. 
          AND SO I WANNA BRING 'EM UP AGAIN 'CAUSE I EITHER A, IT'S FALLEN OFF OR B WE'VE HAD, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S NOT BEEN THE ATTENTION TO IT. 
          FIRST ONE IS THE YALE PARK RESTROOM THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          WE HAVE AS BAD IF NOT WORSE, A SITUATION OUT AT BRECKENRIDGE PARK. 
          AND EVERY YEAR WE HAVE THE 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION, AND I HEARD SO MANY COMMENTS THIS 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION ABOUT THE RESTROOM THAT'S THERE AT THE, I'M GONNA SAY THE TOP OF THE HILL. 
          IT'S, I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY PROBABLY WORSE THAN THE YALE PARK ONE MAY NOT BE. 
          I'LL LET Y'ALL MAKE THAT ASSESSMENT. 
          UM, BUT I BROUGHT THAT UP FIVE YEARS AGO AND LORI SAID THAT THAT WOULD GET PUT ONTO THE PLANET WORK AT SOME POINT IN TIME. 
          IT HASN'T. 
          I THINK IT'S AN EMBARRASSMENT WHEN WE HAVE THE BRECKENRIDGE 4TH OF JULY OUT THERE EVERY YEAR AND WE HAVEN'T ADDRESSED IT IN FIVE YEARS. 
          SECOND THING IS THAT THERE WAS AT SOME POINT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A BRIDGE TO CONNECT BRECKENRIDGE PARK BACK TO THE BACK ACROSS, THERE'S THE, THERE'S THE, UM, THE, THE CREEK THERE. 
          AND I BROUGHT THAT UP TO LORI BACK AGAIN FIVE YEARS AGO, AND THAT HASN'T EVER BEEN WORKED INTO THE PLAN AS WELL. 
          SO I GUESS I'LL SAY I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THAT IT PROBABLY FELL OFF SOMEWHERE OR THAT WE HA WE'RE NOT ADDRESSING IT ANYWHERE IN HERE. 
          AND SO I WOULD JUST ASK, I RECOGNIZE THERE'S A LOT OF PRIORITIES. 
          I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE ON HERE. 
          I THINK BOTH OF THOSE ARE REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT. 
          AND LORI HAD SAID THAT THEY'D GET WORKED ONTO THE PLAN, BUT I DON'T SEE 'EM ANYWHERE. 
          AND SO JUST A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED ON THAT AND WOULD ASK IF WE COULD, WE COULD LOOK AT BOTH OF THOSE AND FIGURE OUT, IT MAY NOT, IT MAY NOT WORK IN THIS COMING BUDGET YEAR, BUT COULD WE GET 'EM, COULD WE GET THEM ONTO THE, THE PRIORITY LIST AND TRY TO PRIORITIZE THEM PLEASE? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND UM, AND I REALIZE I'M CATCHING YOU PROBABLY A LITTLE BLIND, BUT I JUST NO, NO. 
          WHEN I SAW IT TONIGHT, I WAS JUST LIKE, GOSH, WE, YOU KNOW, I WAS ASSURED FIVE YEARS AGO THAT, THAT THAT, THAT IT WOULD GET AT SOME POINT ON THERE AND IT HAS 'EM, SO. 
          SURE. 
          SO WE, WE HAVE DONE A LITTLE BIT OF WORK ON THAT, THAT RESTROOM AT BRECKENRIDGE. 
          UH, THE PROBLEM WE HAVE OUT THERE BOTH ON THE, A COMPLEX AND THAT ONE B BY WHERE FAMILY FOURTH IS HELD, IS THOSE ARE ACTUALLY BUILT ON LANDFILL AND HAVE NO PLUMBING OR POWER COMING TO THEM. 
          AND WE ARE UNABLE TO, TO RUN ANY, UM, OTHERWISE THOSE WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE FIRST ON THE LIST TO BE, TO BE REPLACED. 
          UM, SO WE HAVE, WE'VE DONE SOME LIGHT RENOVATION TO THOSE, UM, AND HAVE IMPROVED THAT SCORE. 
          THAT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PROJECTS WE DID WHEN WE STARTED THE, THE ASSET ASSESSMENT AND STARTED GETTING, YOU KNOW, FUNDING THROUGH THE PARKS MAINTENANCE FUND. 
          I MEAN, YOU'RE, YOU'RE NOT WRONG. 
          THEY ARE BASICALLY GLORIFIED PORTABLE TOILETS. 
          UM, BUT THAT IS, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE HAVE GLORIFIED, MIGHT BE AS STRONG , BUT YOU KNOW, WE CERTAINLY CAN TAKE, TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. 
          YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE BRIDGE GOES, UM, I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY PART OF A LARGER PLAN TO COMPLETE MORE OF A LOOP TRAIL AROUND BRECKENRIDGE IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE IN OUR MINDS. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT BRIDGE OVER  CREEK DOWN THERE BEHIND LIKE WHERE THE SEA COMPLEX IS, YOU KNOW, GOING BACK OVER TO, UM, THAT'LL BE RIDGE BOULEVARD, I GUESS PROBABLY ON THAT SIDE. 
          UM, THAT'S, THAT'S A BIG PROJECT, UM, THAT, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT ELSE WE'RE DOING AS FAR AS TRAIL AND CONNECTIONS OVER THERE. 
          BUT JUST, YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, UM, DESPITE WHAT YOU WERE TOLD SEVERAL YEARS AGO, HASN'T MADE ON THE LIST TO LOOK AT. 
          MIGHT BE MORE THAN THE PARK MAINTENANCE FUND CAN BEAR ACTUALLY. 
          UM, THAT MAY BE A BIGGER PROJECT, BUT CERTAINLY I, I'VE GOT NOTES HERE TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T FORGET ABOUT THAT. 
          YEAH, I GUESS MY CONCERN IS, IS THAT WE HAVE, THERE IS ONE BRIDGE THERE, RIGHT? AND IT KIND OF GOES TO NOWHERE AND THEN YEAH. 
          FURTHER NORTH. 
          YEAH. 
          AND SO IT'S, IT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IT AFTER THAT BRIDGE GOT INSTALLED, IT WAS, YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT, EVEN IF, IF THE TRAIL'S NOT PERFECT, THERE WOULD AT LEAST BE A CONNECTION. 
          SO IT MADE SENSE TO PUT THAT BRIDGE THERE. 
          RIGHT. 
          IT'S KIND OF LIKE A, I DON'T WANNA SAY WASTED BRIDGE, IT'S WAY TOO STRONG A TERM, BUT IT, IT'S KINDA LIKE, WELL WE DID ONE AND THEN IT JUST FELL OFF. 
          SURE. 
          AND SO I JUST, I GET CONCERNED THAT THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE, WE DON'T CAPTURE OR WE DON'T AT LEAST LOOK AT IT. 
          AND, AND AGAIN, IF IT'S, IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S LARGER THAN I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT AT SOME POINT WE OUGHT NOT JUST HAVE A BRIDGE THAT BASICALLY GOES TO NOWHERE. 
          SO RIGHT NOW, THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE NEED TO KEEP IN OUR, ON OUR RADAR. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT FEEDBACK. 
          OKAY, THANKS MAYOR. 
          PROAM, I, I WOULD SAY, UM, THE, UH, THE BRIDGE, IT IS PART OF, UM, UM, THE BREAKENRIDGE MASTER FUND, BUT IT WILL NEED TO BE A FUTURE BOND PROGRAM. 
          I MEAN THE, THE 600 OR SO THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR IN THE MAINTENANCE 
          [01:50:01]
THAT THAT WILL NEVER, YEAH, THAT WILL NEVER BE THE ANSWER. 
          SO, UM, IT IS ON OUR LIST FOR FUTURE BOND PROGRAM CONSIDERATION AND, AND IT WILL BE ONE OF THE HIGHER PRIORITIES THAT WE'LL BRING TO YOU FOR CONSIDERATION WITHIN A PARKS PROPOSITION. 
          BUT IT'S NOT A, IT'S NOT A, IT'S NOT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. 
          UH, IT'S A, IT'S A SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL PROJECTS. 
          WE WILL DIG INTO THE RESTROOMS A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE BIT MORE AND SEE, UM, SEAN, IS THERE A, UM, I KNOW I'M THINK OUT, I THINK LIKE OUT AT THE DOG PARK OR, UH, UH, UM, BUSHWAY, UH, PARKWAY, UM, THE, CAN YOU TALK JUST FOR A SECOND? I, IS THE NEW, UM, PRE-MANUFACTURED, UH, RESTROOMS, ARE THOSE MORE, UH, SUITABLE FOR, UM, DEALING WITH SOME OF THE OPS OR LIMITATIONS WE HAVE AT BRECKENRIDGE IN THOSE LOCATIONS? OR HAVE YOU GUYS CONSIDERED OR ARE CONSIDERING PERHAPS RELOCATING, UM, THE RESTROOM SO THAT WE CAN MAYBE DO A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE PLUMBING AND ELECTRIC TALK TALK JUST FOR A SECOND ABOUT THAT FOR THE MARI PRO TEAM SO YOU THEY CAN GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING? YEAH, AND ABSOLUTELY. 
          SO THOSE ARE, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE FULL RESTROOM BUILDINGS. 
          THEY HAVE WATER, SEWER, ELECTRICITY, EVERYTHING. 
          UM, WE, WE LOVE THEM. 
          THEY HAVE SINKS. 
          WE CAN WASH YOUR HANDS. 
          A LOT OF OUR OLDER RESTROOMS DON'T. 
          UM, SO REALLY, YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE AREAS ON THE LANDFILL, THEY'RE NOT A GOOD SOLUTION. 
          IT WOULD JUST BE LIKE BUILDING ONE FROM, FROM, FROM THE GROUND UP IN A TRADITIONAL BUILDING STYLE. 
          YOU KNOW, WE LIKE THE PREFAB BECAUSE THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SIMPLE TO MANAGE. 
          YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ONE CONTRACT WITH, UH, THE COMPANY. 
          THEY BUILD IT, BRING IT OUT, PUT IT IN PLACE, HOOK IT UP, AND IT'S READY TO GO. 
          UM, AS FAR AS RELOCATING THE RESTROOM, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S A POSSIBILITY. 
          WE WOULD HAVE TO MOVE IT DOWN OVER BY WHERE THE, THE CHAMPIONSHIP FIELD IS LOCATED. 
          'CAUSE THAT IS NOT LANDFILL OVER THERE. 
          AND WE DO HAVE, UM, WATER OVER THERE. 
          'CAUSE THAT FIELD IS, IS IRRIGATED. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T WANNA GET OVER MY SKIS ON THIS, BUT CONNECTION TO A SANITARY SEWER THERE MIGHT BE DIFFICULT. 
          I'M NOT SURE, YOU KNOW, HOW CLOSE ONE IS, HOW FAR WE'D HAVE TO GO. 
          THERE'S PROBABLY ONE ON BRAND. 
          UM, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW, HOW DEEP IT IS. 
          UM, AND THEN WE'D ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT, UM, A DA ISSUE WITH MAKING AN ACCESSIBLE ROUTE DOWN THAT HILL TO WHERE THE, THE RESTROOM IS. 
          AND SO THAT, THAT GIVES US A LITTLE BIT OF PAUSE AS WELL. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT COULD SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE, THE OVERALL COST OF THE PROJECT, NOT TO MAKE IT UNDOABLE. 
          UM, BUT THAT'S WHY WE'VE TAKEN THE, THE STANDS OF TRYING TO KEEP THAT RESTROOM RENOVATED AS MUCH AS WE CAN. 
          UM, AND THAT WAS OUR, OUR FIRST ATTACK AT THAT. 
          YEAH, I APPRECIATE THAT, SEAN. 
          I MEAN, UH, MAYOR PROAM, I JUST WANT, WE, WE HAVE, WE HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN GIVEN IN CONSIDERATION. 
          UM, THERE'S NOT AN EASY ANSWER UNFORTUNATELY, AND IT'S A BYPRODUCT OF BUILDING A PARK ON THE, ON THE LANDFILL FOR THE MOST PART. 
          BUT, UM, WE'LL, WE'LL CONTINUE TO, TO KEEP THAT AT THE FOREFRONT. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, HOPE, I MEAN, THERE, NEW TECHNOLOGIES, NEW BUILDING, YOU KNOW, OPTIONS PERHAPS COULD, COULD BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION. 
          UM, BUT IN THE MEANTIME WE'LL MAKE SURE IT, IT RECEIVES THE ATTENTION FROM A MAINTENANCE STANDPOINT THAT IT, IT DESERVES. 
          THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER SHASU. 
          THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. 
          WELL, SEAN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR THOROUGH PRESENTATION. 
          UH, WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, LIMITED BUDGET, BUT WITH THAT YOU ARE, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT JOB. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          UH, BUT ONE THING I SEE THAT ON THE SLIDE THAT WE HAVE ABOUT 43 PARKS, ONE OF THE SLIDE MENTIONED THAT, UH, AND THEN WE HAVE ABOUT ONLY 28 RESTROOM MM-HMM . 
          SO THAT MEANS WE DON'T HAVE RESTROOM IN MANY OTHER PARKS THAT WE SEE. 
          YEAH, THAT'S CORRECT. 
          SO NOW YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE ANSWER TODAY, BUT YOU CAN, YOU KNOW, SHARE THE INFORMATION LATER ON. 
          IS THAT, WHAT'S THE FUTURE PLAN TO COVER ALL THE RESTROOM, UH, NEED FOR OTHER PARKS? IF THERE IS ANY, OR IF THERE IS NO NEED, WHY NOT? I MEAN, JUST TO LOOK AT THAT OPTION AND UM, UH, YOU KNOW, REGARDING THE BRE, UH, BREAKENRIDGE PARK. 
          IS THAT THE NUMBER OF RESTROOM? THAT'S ENOUGH. 
          UH, BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT 4TH OF JULY EVENTS, IT'S PRETTY BIG EVENTS THAT WE DO HAVE THERE. 
          SO IT, THOSE KIND OF THINGS, IF YOU CAN, UM, SHARE SOME INFORMATION LATER ON, UH, IF YOU DON'T HAVE TONIGHT. 
          UH, YEAH, NO, I, UM, YOU KNOW, SOME PARKS ARE QUITE FRANKLY, TOO SMALL FOR, FOR A RESTROOM, AND WE HAVE SEVERAL SMALLER NEIGHBORHOOD POCKET PARKS, UM, THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT, THERE'S NOT ROOM. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, UTILITY ACCESS IS SOMETIMES A, A BARRIER TO THAT. 
          YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE RESTROOMS LOCATED, AND ESPECIALLY REGIONAL PARKS, ESPECIALLY COMMUNITY PARKS AND LARGER PARKS WHERE THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, ATHLETIC FACILITIES, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UM, I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD, YOU KNOW, SPREAD OF RESTROOMS IN THE PARKS THAT ARE THE HIGHEST USE. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU, ONE OF OUR NEW PARKS, TWIN RIVERS IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM GLENVILLE PARK WHERE THERE, THERE IS A RESTROOM. 
          SO MAYBE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO HAVE A RESTROOM THERE. 
          I MEAN, SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, THE WAY THE PARK IS PROGRAMMED OR THE WAY WE, WE THINK IT'S GONNA BE USED MEANS THAT THERE'S NOT A, A NEED FOR A RESTROOM THERE. 
          SO OUR, OUR PLAN RIGHT NOW HAS BEEN REPLACING, YOU KNOW, OLDER RESTROOMS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED THAT PEOPLE EXPECT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE MAY GET TO A POINT WHERE WE REALIZE WE NEED TO, TO ADD RESTROOM SPARK, 
          [01:55:01]
UH, BUT FRANKLY, THAT ISN'T SOMETHING THAT HAS REALLY BEEN AT, AT THE FOREFRONT OF OUR MIND, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY START THINKING ABOUT THAT. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          AND, UH, IN ONE OF THE SLIDE YOU HAVE MENTIONED THAT THE MAINTENANCE CREW, THEY'RE GETTING IPAD. 
          OH YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO ON YOUR SLIDE NINE, IT CAN GO THERE. 
          UH, IS THERE SOMETHING THAT IT COULD BE DIGITIZED, SO INSTEAD OF HANDWRITTEN INSPECTION REPORT, IT COULD BE SOME KIND OF FORM THAT COULD BE FILLED OUT. 
          YES, AB ABSOLUTELY. 
          SO WE USE A, A WORK MANAGEMENT ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CALLED, UH, CITY WORKS, YOU KNOW, MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS IN THE CITY, UM, USE THAT. 
          THERE IS A, A FAIRLY ROBUST INSPECTION, UH, MODULE YOU CAN USE. 
          SO, AND WE CAN BASICALLY MAKE ALL THIS DIGITAL, UM, THE GUYS CAN GO OUT, PUT IT INTO THE IPAD, AND THEN IT IS, IT IS SAVED TO THE, THE SERVER IMMEDIATELY. 
          SO YEAH, ABSOLUTELY IT WOULD BE USED FOR THIS. 
          BUT WE USE IT ALREADY FOR PLAYGROUND INSPECTIONS AND JUST OUR NORMAL MONTHLY PARK INSPECTIONS. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          I MEAN, THIS WAY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO REALLY, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN JUST PULL DOWN NUMBERS YEAH. 
          WRITTEN THIS, UH, MINIMIZE THE MAKING, YOU KNOW, MISTAKE. 
          YEAH. 
          UH, AND ALSO THIS COULD BE ADDED TO THE GIS RIGHT. 
          ASSET MANAGEMENT. 
          YEAH. 
          IT IS TIED CLOSELY TO, TO GI S AND NOW THAT A BENEFIT OF BEING LEGIBLE. 
          NO, THAT'S GREAT. 
          I THINK I'M EXCITED THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, HAVING AN IPAD IS GOING, IS GOING TO, UH, YOU KNOW, MAKE LIFE MUCH EASIER TO MANAGE THE OLD FACILITIES OR STRUCTURES OR ANY OTHER THING THAT WE HAVE. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO, THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER JUSTICE. 
          UH, THANK YOU. 
          UM, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          UM, SIR ROGERS, MS. , UM, VERY INFORMATIVE. 
          MR. MAGER, MY QUESTIONS ACTUALLY FOR YOU, YOU SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION, SORT OF LAUNCHING INTO THIS, AND I'M WONDERING IF YOU CAN SORT OF REITERATE IT JUST SO I CAN FRAME MY MIND CORRECTLY. 
          THIS, THE DIFFERENT PRESENTATION THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST, THERE'S NO SORT OF DOLLAR AMOUNTS ATTACHED AND, YOU KNOW, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS THAT WE WOULD NORMALLY SEE AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS. 
          SO CAN YOU TELL ME AGAIN, SORT OF, SO I CAN FRAME MY MIND FOR ALL THESE PRESENTATIONS WE HAVE COMING UP, WHAT TO EXPECT AND THEN HOW THAT WILL PLAY INTO YOUR BUDGET PRESENTATIONS TO US? SURE. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. 
          SO GENERALLY WHEN WE COME, WE ARE MAKING AN ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE TRANSFER OUT. 
          FOR INSTANCE, IN THIS CASE, THAT WE WOULD HAVE A PARK ABOVE PARK MAINTENANCE. 
          UM, WE, UM, AND THEN WE WOULD BUILD A WORK PLAN THAT WOULD MATCH THAT PARTICULAR DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WE ANTICIPATED, UH, TRANSFERRING OUT FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO, TO THIS PARTICULAR MAINTENANCE ACCOUNT. 
          UM, THAT I BELIEVE IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UM, I'LL BE BRINGING TO THE COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION IN TERMS OF A BALANCING STRATEGY. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, LIKE MANY ENTITIES, IT'S, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST HAVE TO KIND OF LOOK AT A NEWS, UH, SERVICE TODAY AND YOU SEE STORIES ALL ACROSS TEXAS ABOUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, UM, UH, CHALLENGES THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE FACING. 
          UM, I I WANT TO PRESENT A WORK PLAN OF, UH, PRIORITY PROJECTS, UM, AND HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO GO NEXT YEAR. 
          BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE, UH, PRESUMPTUOUS ABOUT WHAT THAT LEVEL OF FUNDING WOULD BE. 
          I WANTED TO LEAVE THAT OPEN TO THE COUNCIL. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, AND, AND, AND OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, I'M NOT TRYING TO BACK YOU INTO A CORNER BY SAYING, HERE'S A WORK PLAN THAT WE NEED TO DO. 
          AND IF WE DON'T DO IT, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL, THERE'LL, THERE'LL BE CONSEQUENCES. 
          UM, ONCE WE, ONCE YOU ARRIVE AT A FUNDING LEVEL FOR EACH OF THESE, UH, MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS, WE WILL GO BACK AND THEN TAKE THIS LIST OF PRIORITIES AND COME BACK TO YOU AND SAY, UM, THESE ARE THE THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE PROJECTS THAT WE CAN FIT BASED ON THAT FUNDING LEVEL. 
          UM, AND WE'LL HAVE TO DO THAT ACROSS, UM, ACROSS, UM, UM, CATEGORIES. 
          THE OTHER THING I DIDN'T WANNA BE PRESUMPTUOUS ABOUT WOULD BE THAT, YOU KNOW, ALL, UM, CHANGES IN, IN ALL THE CATEGORIES WOULD BE THE SAME. 
          FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU WANNA MAINTAIN FUNDING, UH, IN STREETS, BUT, UM, YOU'RE WANNA CONSIDER A FUNDING CUT IN A DIFFERENT MAINTENANCE STRATEGY, I WANTED TO LEAVE THAT OPEN, UH, TO YOU. 
          AND SO, UM, THE, THE, THE STRATEGY BEHIND NOT, UM, PUTTING THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS TO THEM, UM, NOW, UM, WAS MOSTLY ABOUT LEAVING IT AS OPEN AS WE COULD SO THAT AS WE HAVE THAT DIALOGUE AND THAT CONVERSATION AND YOU GIVE ME DIRECTION, I'LL BE ABLE TO BUILD A PLAN THAT'S RESPONSIVE TO THAT. 
          THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY IS THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, THESE PROJECTS, WHILE, WHILE, UM, THEY'RE BEING PRESENTED AS A PRIORITY WORK PLAN, UM, THEY COULD BE TAKEN IN, UM, SMALLER BITES. 
          WE COULD TAKE A PROJECT AND SAY, IT IS THE PRIORITY AS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY, AND WE, DEPENDING ON THE FUNDING LEVEL, IF IT'S NOT, UH, DOABLE, WE CAN SAY WE'D LIKE TO DO IT OVER THE COURSE OF TWO YEARS. 
          AND SO I WANTED TO LEAVE THAT LATITUDE AND, AND THAT OPENNESS, UH, AS WELL. 
          AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, I I, I, AGAIN, OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAD ALL THE LATITUDE TO HAVE THAT DIALOGUE THAT HAS TO HAPPEN DURING THE BUDGET WORKSHOP. 
          UM, AND THEN, AND THEN WE'LL BE RESPONSIVE TO THE DIRECTION YOU GIVE US WITH, WITH RESPECT TO THE VARIOUS TRANSFER OUTS, UH, TRANSFER OUT STRATEGIES WE USE. 
          YEAH, THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. 
          THANK YOU FOR REFRAMING THAT FOR ME, I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL 
          [02:00:01]
JUST TO HAVE AN IDEA OF SORT OF WHAT THE NEED IS FROM A TOTAL DOLLAR STANDPOINT, EVEN THOUGH WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO FULLY FUND OR WHATEVER THE BUDGET MAY PLAY OUT. 
          I THINK IT WOULD STILL STILL BE HELPFUL FOR ME TO KNOW WHAT THESE PROJECTS COST. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT WHEN WE START GETTING INTO TALKING ABOUT THEM, I CAN, I CAN THINK ABOUT IT AND I THINK THE PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW TOO, IF WE HAVE SIX PRIORITIES THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO US, BUT WE'RE ONLY ABLE TO FUND THREE, FOLKS WILL UNDERSTAND WHY, BECAUSE THEY CAN PUT DOLLARS TO DOLLARS AND SEE. 
          SO FOR, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, EVEN THOUGH WE MAY SORT OF HAVE TO DO SOME SHUFFLING AROUND AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS, I THINK THAT, THAT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW WHAT, WHAT THOSE DOLLARS ARE. 
          SO I, I WOULD ASK IN FUTURE PRESENTATIONS, UH, IN THE BUDGET SEASON, TO HAVE THOSE DOLLARS IN THERE JUST TO, TO FRAME THAT FOR MYSELF AND FOR, FOR THE PUBLIC WHEN WE START MAKING THOSE, THOSE DECISIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. 
          AND GREAT JOB, SEAN. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          ALRIGHT, MOVING ON TO 
          [9. REVIEW AND DISCUSS THE FY 2025-2026 FACILITIES & FLEET SERVICES MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES]
ITEM NUMBER NINE, REVIEW AND DISCUSS FISCAL YEAR 20 25, 20 26 FACILITIES AND FLEET SERVICES, MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES. 
          MR. MAGER. 
          UH, THANKS, MAYOR. 
          MAYOR, COUNCIL WING COR, OUR, UH, DIRECTOR OF FACILITY AND FLEETS, UH, IS HERE TO, TO, UH, UH, PRESENT HIS, UH, DEEP DIVE TONIGHT. 
          UH, IT'LL BE A SIMILAR FORMAT TO, UH, WHAT YOU JUST EXPERIENCED WITH PARKS. 
          AND SO, UH, WAYNE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AT THE END. 
          THANKS, WAYNE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, UH, CITY MANAGER, MAGNER, AND, UH, GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          I, I'M HAPPY TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF THE RESULTS WE'VE HAD FROM FISCAL YEAR 25, AND THEN ALSO LOOK AHEAD AT WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING FROM STRATEGY STANDPOINT FOR FISCAL YEAR 26. 
          SO, UH, I'M GONNA START WITH AN OVERVIEW OF THE PRESENTATION AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO COVER. 
          THEN WE'LL HAVE A BROAD OVERVIEW OF THE DEPARTMENT TO GIVE YOU AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WE'RE STRUCTURED. 
          THEN THERE ARE TWO MAJOR DIVISIONS, AS OUR DEPARTMENT TITLE SAYS, THERE'S FACILITIES AND THERE'S FLEET. 
          AND WE WILL GO INTO EACH ONE OF THOSE DIVISIONS SEPARATELY, TALK ABOUT THEIR CURRENT OPERATING BUDGETS, TALK ABOUT THEIR CURRENT CAPITAL BUDGETS, AND THEN GIVE YOU OUR NEXT STEPS AT THE END OF THE PRO PROGRAM. 
          SO HERE'S OUR CURRENT STRUCTURE. 
          UM, THE FACILITIES DIVISION WORKS WITH ABOUT 40 OCCUPIED FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY. 
          JUST OVER ABOUT A MILLION SQUARE FEET THAT WE MAINTAIN WITH THE, UH, 33 PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE THERE LISTED ON THE SCREEN. 
          SO, UH, THAT'S BOTH FACILITIES MAINTENANCE, WHERE WE'RE REPAIRING THINGS OR THE CUSTODIAL SERVICES OR ROOM SETUPS LIKE WE DO EVERY WEEK FOR THIS MEETING. 
          UM, AND THEN ON THE FLEET SIDE, WE HAVE 648 FLEET VEHICLES AS OF EARLIER THIS WEEK. 
          AND TWO FUEL SITES THAT WE MANAGE WITH A STAFF OF 20 FLEET STAFF. 
          AND THEN WE ALSO MANAGE ALL OF THE CITY'S WAREHOUSE OPERATIONS, CENTRAL RECEIVING, UH, CITYWIDE WAREHOUSING, AND THEN ALSO FLEET PARTS WAREHOUSING THROUGH THAT WITH A STAFF OF TWO. 
          SO, SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'VE BEEN RUNNING INTO THIS YEAR, UH, ONE IS, IS THE LABOR FORCE. 
          UH, THE ABILITY TO GET GOOD TRADESMEN AND GOOD TECHNICIANS IS DIFFICULT. 
          AND SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH COLIN COLLEGE TO TRY TO FACILITATE THAT. 
          THIS IS A PICTURE FROM US EXHIBITING AT THEIR JOB FAIR. 
          UH, WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON, WE HAVE AN APPRENTICE PROGRAM ON THE FLEET SIDE. 
          WE'RE WORKING ON SIMILAR THINGS ON THE FACILITY SIDE, BUT JUST TRYING TO GET AS, AS GOOD AND WELL TRAINED TECHNICIANS IN THE DOOR AS WE CAN. 
          UM, AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS THE RISING COST OF OUTSOURCED LABOR. 
          SO WHEN WE HAVE TO CONTRACT OUT THE WORK, IT IS NOT, UH, A SMALL DOLLAR FIGURE BECAUSE OF THOSE CHALLENGES. 
          AND THE NEXT BULLET ITEM, WHICH TALKS ABOUT THE COMPLEXITY OF THE VEHICLES AND, UH, THE SYSTEMS THAT WE WORK WITH. 
          THESE SYSTEMS ARE BEING RE-ENGINEERED EVERY YEAR. 
          WE HAVE TO RETRAIN OUR STAFF, WE HAVE TO RETRAIN OUR TECHNICIANS. 
          AND, UH, SO THAT'S A CHALLENGE FOR US. 
          BUT THEY'RE DOING THAT ALSO IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. 
          AND SO IT'S A, IT'S RUNNING OUT THE COST OF THAT. 
          AND THEN, UH, FINALLY ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS UPGRADE OUR SOFTWARE SYSTEMS. UM, WE DID ACQUIRE A NEW FLEET MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE SYSTEM IN THE SPRING, AND WE'RE WORKING ON IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT. 
          AND THEN WE'RE RE RESEARCHING DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CAN DO FACILITIES WORK, ORDER MANAGEMENT. 
          WE CURRENTLY USE CITY WORKS SIMILAR TO MANY OF THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS, BUT IT'S NOT IDEAL FOR FACILITIES. 
          SO WE'RE LOOKING TO SEE IF WE CAN BUILD SOME MODULES. 
          WE'VE BEEN TALKING WITH FOLKS, UH, WHO CONSULT WITH THE CITY OF PLANO AND HAVE BUILT THEIR SYSTEM UP THERE AND SEE IF THAT'S A GOOD OPTION FOR US. 
          SO FIRST, TO GO TO FLEET, UH, THERE ARE TWO FUNDING SOURCES FOR THE FLEET DIVISION. 
          THERE'S THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET THAT WE HAVE AND WE OPERATE FROM. 
          THAT'S WHERE WE REPAIR AND MAINTAIN ALL THE CITY FLEET. 
          THAT'S WHERE WE PURCHASE OUR FUEL. 
          THAT'S WHERE WE ACQUIRE PARTS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          SO, AND THEN THE SECOND FUND IS THE VEHICLE ACQUISITION. 
          THAT'S THE, THE CAPITAL REPLACEMENT FUND THAT COMES OUTTA THE VALOREM TAX. 
          THAT'S, UH, ONE OF THOSE, 
          [02:05:01]
UH, TRANSFER OUTS AS THE CITY MANAGER WAS MENTIONING, UM, IS ONE OF THE FUNDING SOURCES WE USE THERE IN THAT FUND. 
          UH, WE ALSO HAVE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION FOR LARGE DOLLAR PURCHASES, FIRE APPARATUS, LARGE SOLID WASTE VEHICLES, VERY EXPENSIVE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT AND THAT WE FINANCE OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. 
          AND THEN THE WATER OP AND SEWER OPERATING FUND IS USED FOR THEIR VEHICLES. 
          AND THE SOLID WASTE FUND IS BEING USED TO SUPPLEMENT SOME ADDITIONAL SOLID WASTE VEHICLES. 
          SO THIS IS A COPY OF OUR CURRENT BUDGET STANDARD AT THIS TIME. 
          AND, UH, IN THIS YEAR WE'VE SEEN, UM, MORE EXPENSIVE OUTSIDE SERVICES, AS I WAS MENTIONING BEFORE, WHICH IS RUNNING UP SOME OF THE DOLLARS THERE. 
          AND, UH, ALSO THE COST OF STOCK AND NON-STOCK PARTS IS, UH, GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE AS WE GO THROUGH THAT. 
          ONE OF THE BENEFITS WE HAVE NOTICED THIS YEAR IS IN PREVIOUS YEARS, WE WERE PRETTY MUCH OVER BUDGETED IN FUEL. 
          SO WE REDUCED THAT BACK TO KIND OF A STANDARD TREND THAT WE'VE SEEN OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS OR SO. 
          AND THAT ALLOWS US TO REALIZE SOME SAVINGS THERE TO KIND OF TRY TO BALANCE OUT THE BUDGET. 
          THIS IS A COPY OF OUR CAPITAL REPLACEMENT THAT WE'RE PROJECTING FOR THIS COMING YEAR. 
          SO WITH THAT, IT'S A TOTAL OF 46 VEHICLES, UH, JUST OVER SEVEN AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS. 
          UM, AND WE'VE GOT IT BROKEN DOWN HERE BY THE FOUR DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES THAT I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY. 
          THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES IN EACH ONE OF THOSE SOURCES, AND THEN THE BUDGET. 
          AND THEN WE'VE BROKEN OUT BY THE APARTMENTS AND SHOW YOU SOME OF THE VEHICLE TYPES THAT ARE THERE. 
          AND NOW ON THE FACILITIES SIDE, WE'RE GONNA TRANSITION FROM FLEETING NOW TO FACILITIES. 
          UH, THEY ALSO HAVE A GENERAL FUND BUDGET THAT DEALS WITH OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS. 
          AND THEN THEY HAVE AN A VALOR AND PROPERTY TAX TRANSFER OUT CALLED A FACILITY MAINTENANCE FUND THAT WE USE FOR LARGER MAINTENANCE PROJECTS. 
          AND WE'LL GET INTO SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS, UH, HERE IN A MOMENT. 
          AND THEN SPECIAL PROJECTS FUND, IF THERE'S A SPECIAL NEED ESPECIALLY THAT POPS UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR THAT WE DIDN'T FORESEE, THEN UH, SOMETIMES THOSE ARE USED OR IF WE'RE IMPLEMENTING LIKE A MASTER PLAN STUDY THAT WAS COMPLETED. 
          AND I'LL SHOW YOU SOME OF THOSE EXAMPLES. 
          SO FROM FACILITIES MAINTENANCE, THIS IS A SLIDE THAT TALKS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE UNIT COST ISSUES THAT WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH. 
          ONE OF THE BIG THINGS, THERE'S SIX DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. 
          FOUR OF THE SIX HAVE SEEN SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN SERVICE REQUESTS. 
          SOME ALMOST 50% MORE AND OR SOME 60 OR 70% MORE. 
          SO A LOT OF MORE SERVICE REQUESTS THAT ARE COMING OUR WAY FOR THOSE FOUR CATEGORIES. 
          FROM A COST STANDPOINT, IT'S KIND OF A MIXED BAG. 
          ABOUT HALF OF THEM HAVE A HIGHER UNIT COST THIS YEAR AND HALF OF THEM DON'T. 
          SO THE COST STRUCTURE IS KIND OF, UH, IS A MOVING PIECE. 
          BUT, UH, WE'RE USING THAT TO KIND OF FORECAST FOR WHAT WE EXPECT TO SEE IN NEXT YEAR. 
          AND THEN WE'LL MOVE THE FACILITIES MAINTENANCE, UH, THE FUNDING OF OUR PROJECTS, AND THEN THE GROUPS THAT THOSE ARE FROM. 
          SO THIS WE'LL START WITH THE GENERAL FUND PROJECTS. 
          UM, WE HAD TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS. 
          WE HAD GENERAL FUND PROJECTS, AND THEN WE HAD SPECIAL FUND PROJECTS. 
          AND THIS YEAR, UH, PRIMARY FOCUS A LOT ON THE MUNICIPAL COURT AND, UH, REDOING THE FLOORING AND ALSO PAINTING THE FACILITY. 
          UH, WE ALSO REPLACED ALL THE UPSS, UH, TO PROVIDE THE SUPPORT FOR THE SERVERS, NOT JUST THE COMPUTERS, BUT THE SERVERS THAT WE HAVE IN THE FACILITIES. 
          AND THEN IN AUGUST WE'LL DO THE EPOXY, UH, THE EPOXY OF THE EISMAN CENTER, UH, STAIRS. 
          AND THEN, UH, IN SPECIAL PROJECTS, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT LAST YEAR A LOT WAS THE GENERATOR MASTER PLAN. 
          IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT IS UNDERWAY. 
          UH, WE ORDERED THE GENERATOR AND OUR BEGINNING TO GO THROUGH THAT PROJECT. 
          THAT'LL PROBABLY TAKE TWO YEARS JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION. 
          IT TAKES ABOUT 80 WEEKS TO GET A GENERATOR, SO OF THAT SIZE. 
          SO IT'S, IT'S A LONG LEAD TIME. 
          AND THEN, UH, ONE I'LL HIGHLIGHT ON THE NEXT SLIDE IS OUR POLICE EMPLOYEE ENTRANCE. 
          SO HERE'S A, SOME PICTURES OF THOSE. 
          UH, THE MUNICIPAL CORD OFFICE REPLACEMENT. 
          YOU SEE THE NEW CARPET, SEE THE NEW PAINTING FACILITY. 
          AND THEN ON THE FAR RIGHT, UH, FOR POLICE, YOU SEE THE UPGRADE THERE. 
          SO POLICE OFFICERS GENERALLY CARRY A COUPLE OF HEAVY BAGS THAT THEY WANT NEED TO BRING INTO THEIR LOCKER SPACE, WHICH IS LOCATED RIGHT BEHIND THOSE DOORWAYS. 
          AND THEY WERE HAVING DIFFICULTY CARRYING THE BAGS, SWIPING THEIR BADGE, OPENING THE DOOR, AND GETTING THEM IN THE BUILDING. 
          SO WHAT WE CAME UP WITH IS A SOLUTION WHERE THEY CAN DO FACIAL RECOGNITION, THEY CAN CARRY THE BAGS UP, THEY'LL SEE THE FACIAL RECOGNITION, THAT'LL OPEN THE DOOR AUTOMATICALLY FOR THEM, AND THEN THEY CAN WALK THROUGH THE DOOR AND PUT THEIR BAGS IN THEIR LOCKERS. 
          SO IN THE, UH, GENERAL FUND OPERATING BUDGET, UH, MOST OF WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS WE'VE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF INCREASE IN COMPLIANCE, UH, SPENDING, MAINLY RELATED TO THE GENERATOR MASTER PLAN. 
          UH, WE'RE ALSO SEEING THOSE OUTSIDE SERVICES ARE MORE EXPENSIVE 
          [02:10:01]
AND THE SERVICE REQUESTS HAVE GONE UP, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE. 
          BUT ONE OF THE BIGGEST ITEMS IS UTILITY COSTS. 
          BOTH ELECTRIC AND GAS HAVE GONE UP SIGNIFICANTLY IN THIS YEAR. 
          SO WE'RE TRYING TO, UH, OFFSET THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          WE ARE A PART OF A DEMAND RESPONSE PROGRAM TO TRY TO GENERATE SOME REVENUE, BUT IT IS A SMALL IN COMPARISON TO WHAT THE COST IS. 
          AND THEN THESE ARE THE 26 PRO PROS PROJECTS, UM, THAT WE HAVE. 
          MANY OF THEM, THIS IS OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET. 
          MANY OF THEM ARE DEALING WITH FIRE STATION RENOVATIONS, SOME REC CENTER RENOVATIONS, AND THEN ONE AT THE SERVICE CENTER. 
          AND THEN YOU MAY RECOGNIZE THE SAUNA THAT SEAN SHOWED IN HIS PRESENTATION. 
          SO THEN WE'LL TRANSITION FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO THE FACILITIES MAINTENANCE FUND. 
          THIS IS THE AT LAUREN TAX TRANSFER OUT THAT WE HAVE. 
          THESE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS YEAR, THE SERVICE CENTER VESTIBULE, UH, WHICH WAS A MAJOR UPGRADE FOR US FROM A SECURITY STANDPOINT. 
          I'LL GET INTO THAT MORE IN THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          AND THEN, UH, ONE OF THE COUNCIL TACTICS WAS FULLY IMPLEMENTING THE S TWO SECURITY SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE FACILITIES. 
          WE'VE BEEN ABLE, WE WILL FINALIZE THAT PROJECT LATER THIS PHYSICAL YEAR WHEN WE GET THE LICENSES FOR THE REC CENTERS. 
          BUT YOU'LL SEE THAT ON THERE, THE SECURITY SYS, UH, SERVICE CENTER, FIRE STATION TWO AND FOUR. 
          AND THEN THE REC CENTERS HAVE BEEN UPDATED THIS YEAR. 
          SO HERE'S SOME PICTURES OF SOME OF THOSE. 
          YOU'LL SEE THE SERVICE CENTER VESTIBULE UPGRADE IF YOU'VE BEEN TO THE SERVICE CENTER. 
          WHEN YOU WALK IN, YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO WALK IN THE DOOR, GO UP THE STAIRS AND WALK RIGHT INTO ANYONE'S OFFICE. 
          AND SO THERE WAS NO SECURITY IN THAT BUILDING. 
          SO WE PUT IN THE VESTIBULE. 
          NOW A CITIZEN CAN WALK IN, THEY CAN BUY A BLUE BAG FROM THE DISPENSER, BUT THEN THERE'S AN INTERCOM SYSTEM AND A, AND A CAMERA SYSTEM. 
          THEY'LL PUNCH A BUTTON, THEY'LL TALK TO THE RECEPTIONIST. 
          THE RECEPTIONIST CAN BUZZ THEM INTO THE BUILDING, AND THEN THEY HAVE MORE SECURITY ACCESS WITH THAT. 
          AND THEN, UM, IN THE MIDDLE PICTURE, YOU'LL SEE THE MUNICIPAL COURT ROOF REPLACEMENT THAT IS 99% COMPLETE BRAND NEW SHINY WHITE, UH, ROOF ON THAT BUILDING. 
          NOW, UH, WE HAD A NUMBER OF LEAKS THAT WE HAD TO REPAIR EARLIER THIS YEAR BEFORE MAKING THAT HAPPEN. 
          AND THEN THE REC CENTER SECURITY UPGRADES THAT I MENTIONED BEFORE. 
          SO THIS SHOWS OUR PRELIMINARY WORK PLAN FROM THE FACILITIES MAINTENANCE FUND, PRIMARILY TWO MORE ROOF REPLACEMENTS, ONE AT THE IQ AND ONE AT THE DETENTION CENTER. 
          UM, AT THE GYMNASTICS CENTER. 
          WE NEED TO INSTALL A NEW BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM THAT MANAGES THE HVAC SYSTEM. 
          AND WE WILL TIE IT IN. 
          RIGHT NOW THAT, UH, SYSTEM AT THE GYMNASTICS CENTER IS STANDALONE AND SEPARATE FROM THE CITY, THE REST OF THE CITY'S BUILDINGS. 
          AND SO WE WANT TO TIE THAT IN. 
          AND THEN PARKING LOT LIGHTING AT THE FIRE TRAINING CENTER. 
          AND FINALLY, CUSTODIAL SERVICES IS A GROUP THAT IS ALSO UNDER FACILITIES, UH, TALK MAINLY ABOUT THEM. 
          THEIR BUDGET ISN'T OUTLANDISHLY LARGE, BUT WE HAVE TWO SIGNIFICANT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING THIS YEAR. 
          THREE CAPITAL PROJECTS ARE GONNA FINISH WITHIN THE YEAR. 
          SO OUR SQUARE FOOTAGE COVERAGE IS GOING TO VASTLY INCREASE, WHICH MEANS THERE'S MORE, MORE CARPETS TO CLEAN, MORE SPACE TO, TO MAINTAIN. 
          SO THAT'S, UH, GONNA INCREASE ON OUR CONTRACT, UH, WITH OUR VENDOR. 
          AND THAT'S THE BIG DOLLAR ITEM THERE. 
          AND THEN YOU ALSO SEE THE INCREASE IN SUPPLIES COST PRIMARILY FOR THE CHEMICAL, THE CLEANING SUPPLIES. 
          AND THEN LAST SLIDE, OUR NEXT STEPS. 
          SO, UH, WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO WORK WITH OUR HR DEPARTMENT ON INNOVATIVE WAYS TO TRY TO RECRUIT AND TO BRING ON NEW TRADESPEOPLE AND TECHNICIANS. 
          UM, WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CAPITAL PROJECTS AND THEIR GROUP, UH, ON, WE MEET WEEKLY. 
          I MEET WEEKLY WITH THE, ON THE, EACH OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON WITH THE CITY. 
          'CAUSE MAINLY TO FIND OUT OKAY, YOU'RE BUILDING THE RIGHT SYSTEMS INTO THESE, THESE ARE SYSTEMS THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN. 
          SO WHEN WE INHERIT THE BUILDING, WHEN THE CONTRACTOR'S DONE, WE CAN ACTUALLY SUCCESSFULLY WORK THE BUILDING. 
          SO WE, WE MEET WITH THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS. 
          AS I MENTIONED, WE'RE WORKING ON THE THREE THAT ARE GONNA COME ONLINE THIS YEAR. 
          AND THEN, UH, I MENTIONED THE FLEET MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE. 
          WE'RE WORKING WITH IT TO GET THAT IMPLEMENTED TO HELP US OUT IN THAT AREA. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, UH, FINALIZE FACILITIES AND FLEET WORK PLAN AS A RECEIVED CERTIFIED PROPERTY TAX. 
          SO, AND WORK THAT INTO THE CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET THAT HE PREPARES TO YOU. 
          AND THAT'S THE CONCLUSION OF MY PRESENTATION. 
          WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER CORCORAN. 
          THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. 
          WAYNE, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          YOU MAY NOT COME BEFORE US OFTEN, BUT I WANNA SAY YOU'RE A PART OF ALMOST EVERY CITY COUNSELING WE HAVE 'CAUSE OF THE, UH, CONSENT AGENDA WHERE YOU APPROVE SO MANY, UM, SO MANY BUDGET REQUESTS FROM US. 
          SO REALLY GOOD WORK AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE, YOU'VE DONE AND PUT TOGETHER HERE. 
          UM, I JUST, YOU KNOW, THE IQ HQ ROOF, DIDN'T WE JUST BUILD THAT BUILDING? I'M JUST KIND OF CONFUSED WHY WE HAVE TO REPLACE IT OR WHAT, 
          [02:15:01]
WHAT HAPPENED THERE? WE, NO, WE DIDN'T BUILD THE BUILDING. 
          THE BUILDING IS, UH, 20 PLUS YEARS OLD. 
          UM, BACK IN 20 19, 20, WE RENOVATED THE BUILDING. 
          MM-HMM . 
          BUT THAT WAS MOSTLY TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. 
          UH, WE DID A LITTLE BIT OF SITE WORK AND SO, UH, AT THAT TIME, THE, THE ROOF, UM, DIDN'T NEED A FULL REPLACEMENT. 
          THERE WAS SOME WORK DONE TO IT TO KIND OF MAINTAIN. 
          UM, SO IT WOULD BE MAINTAINABLE FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR NOW FOUR OR FIVE YEARS I GUESS. 
          BUT, UM, WE, WE ALWAYS KNEW THE FULL REPLACEMENT AT THAT TIME WOULDN'T HAVE FIT IN, PUT FIT WITHIN THE BUDGET THAT WAS ALLOCATED FOR THE, FOR THE PROJECT. 
          SO THE MAJORITY OF THE RESOURCES WERE FOCUSED ON THE INTERIOR. 
          MM-HMM . 
          YEAH. 
          SO THIS IS, THIS IS, THIS IS PRETTY MUCH ON SCHEDULE WITH WHAT WE THOUGHT AT THAT TIME. 
          UH, WE THOUGHT WE COULD GET ANOTHER FOUR TO SIX YEARS OUT OF THE EXISTING ROOF. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, YEAH. 
          AWESOME. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, JUST A COUPLE QUICK QUESTIONS. 
          UH, KIND OF ALONG THE LINES OF, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER CORCORAN'S QUESTION. 
          THE POLICE DETENTION CENTER, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT KNOWING, BUT WAS, WAS THAT BUILDING REDONE WHEN THE REST OF THE POLICE STATION WAS REDONE? YES, THE FACADE ON THE EXTERIOR, BUT AGAIN, NOT THE ROOF. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT ROOF, IT'S A STAY IN PLACE. 
          GOTCHA. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN THE, THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS, UM, WHEN WE'RE PUTTING IN THESE AUTOMATION CONTROLS, I SUSPECT WITH THOSE COME SOME SORT OF POTENTIAL EFFICIENCY GAINS YES. 
          OR AT LEAST EXPECTED EFFICIENCY GAINS. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'S A PIECE OF IT. 
          ANOTHER PIECE OF THE BIG PIECE OF IT IS THAT WE CAN REMOTELY ACCESS ANY BUILDING FROM ANYWHERE IN THE CITY OFF OUR COMPUTER. 
          SO WE CAN, AND WE CAN SEE THE COMPONENTS WITHIN, INSIDE THE SYSTEM OF LIKE, OH, OKAY, THE, THE COIL'S NOT WORKING RIGHT. 
          OR THE FAN'S NOT WORKING RIGHT. 
          OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          SO WE CAN KIND OF DIAGNOSE AND TAKE THE REPAIR PIECE OUT THERE IN ADVANCE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND, AND WE HAVE THAT, IT'S A, IT'S CALLED A CLIMATE ATTACK IS THE SYSTEM THAT WE USE. 
          AND, UM, THE ONLY PLACE WE DON'T HAVE IT IS THE GYMNASTIC CENTER AND THEN THE, THIS LEASE SPACE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, SO IDEALLY IT'LL HELP US EITHER KIND OF OPERATE WITH LESS MANPOWER BECAUSE THERE'S LESS GOING BACK AND FORTH. 
          AND THEN SECONDARILY, PERHAPS, UH, WITH, UH, THERE'S SOME LEVEL OF TURNING STUFF OFF REMOTELY AND, AND THAT SORT OF THING WHERE WE COULD YEAH. 
          WE PICK UP ON, WE USE IT, I MENTIONED THE DEMAND RESPONSE PROGRAM. 
          WE USE IT TO ADJUST, LIKE, OKAY, IF WE WANNA DROP THE THERMOSTAT TWO DEGREES OR UP TWO DEGREES TO GENERATE SOME SAVINGS OFF THE GRID, WE CAN DO THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, BUT THE BIG PIECE OF IT IS BEING ABLE TO DIAGNOSE WHAT WE NEED TO DO REMOTELY. 
          YEP. 
          SO THAT WE DON'T MAKE MULTIPLE TRIPS BACK AND FORTH THAT TO GO DIAGNOSE AND THEN COME BACK AND GET IT. 
          WE CAN KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO TAKE AND TAKE IT THERE AND FIX IT. 
          FIX IT BEFORE SOMETHING BIGGER BREAKS OR THAT SORT OF THING AS WELL. 
          EXACTLY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          COOL. 
          YEAH, VERY HELPFUL. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          SEEING NO OTHER QUESTIONS. 
          UH, THANK YOU. 
          GOOD JOB. 
          YEAH. 
          ALRIGHT, UH, WE'RE GONNA MOVE 
          [10. CONSENT AGENDA]

          REALLY INTERESTING ORGANIZATION. 
          UM, IT, IT, IT'S INTERESTING TO ME IN PARTICULAR, PARTLY BECAUSE I'VE, I FEEL LIKE I'VE HAD THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT EVENTS NOW, UM, UH, WHERE I'M GETTING TO KNOW SOME OF THESE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, TAKING A LOT OF PRIDE IN THE, IN THE SORT OF WORK THEY'RE DOING, UH, WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL. 
          UM, AND AN INTERESTING THROUGH LINE WITH A BUNCH OF THEM IS TRASH BASH.
