AND WHEN YOU GET YOUR INVITE, YOU'RE GONNA GET AN EMAIL INVITATION THAT SAYS YOU'VE BEEN INVITED TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD TEAM.
IT'S GONNA HAVE A LITTLE BLUE BUTTON INSIDE THAT EMAIL.
GO AHEAD AND CLICK THAT BLUE BUTTON.
IT'S GONNA TAKE YOU TO THIS TEAM.
YOU'RE GONNA OPEN THIS IN A BROWSER.

OKAY? UM, AND, AND IT WAS INTRODUCED AS THE THE TEAM'S CHANNEL.
IT'S NOT REALLY THE TEAM'S CHANNEL.
THIS IS A TEAM THAT HAS A CHANNEL AND THAT GENERAL CHANNEL, IF YOU, IF YOU LOOK UP ON THE BOARD RIGHT THERE, GENERAL CHANNELS, WHAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE ACCESS TO.
EVERYBODY WHO'S A MEMBER OF THE TEAM SEES WHAT GOES ON IN THE GENERAL CHANNEL.
YOU ALL WILL NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO, UH, INTERACT ON THAT CHANNEL, UM, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT'S AGAINST THE LAW.
I'VE TAKEN AWAY YOUR ABILITY TO DO THAT.
WE WILL BE ABLE TO POST
YOU'LL STILL GET IT IN AN EMAIL, BUT YOU'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO COME HERE AND LOOK BACK AND SEE.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO TRACK YOUR EMAILS ANYMORE 'CAUSE IT'S ALL GONNA BE RIGHT HERE.

THAT'S GONNA BE RIGHT HERE IN THESE FILES.
THERE'S PROBABLY NOTHING THERE YET, BUT THERE WILL BE.
SO IF YOU'RE IN THE MEETING AND YOU DIDN'T WANT TO PRINT OUT A PACKET OR YOU DIDN'T WANNA PRINT OUT YOUR AGENDA, YOU CAN JUST GO HERE AND PULL IT UP AND, AND OPEN IT AND READ IT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRAG AROUND A BUNCH OF PAPER ANYMORE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRACK EMAIL.
UH, THERE'S A COUPLE OTHER PIECES THAT WE'RE GONNA ADD.
UH, WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO ADD.
I'M GONNA DO THIS ON THE FLY JUST BECAUSE I ENJOY
[00:10:01]
DOING IT.AND OF COURSE WHEN I DO IT, IT PROBABLY WON'T WORK RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS CALLED A CHANNEL CALENDAR.
UH, WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO DO WITH THIS IS SCHEDULE ALL OF YOUR MEETINGS, YOUR MONTHLY MEETINGS ON HERE SO THAT IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL CALENDAR, YOU'RE GONNA GET AN EMAIL INVITE.
SO YOU HAVE YOUR EMAIL, YOU MIGHT HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL, LIKE GOOGLE CALENDAR OR HOTMAIL CALENDAR, WHATEVER YOU HAVE, IT'LL PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR FOR YOU.
SO NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PUTTING THINGS ON A CALENDAR.
PLUS, IF YOU EVER WANT TO TRY TO REMEMBER, OH, WE'VE GOT THIS SPECIAL EVENT COMING UP THAT WE ALL GOTTA BE AT, IT'S GONNA BE RIGHT HERE IN TEAMS. OKAY? EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS, REPLACE THIS.
A COPY THAT WE GIVE YOU AND ALL OF THAT.
SO IF THERE'S IMPORTANT RIBBING, CUTTINGS, OPENINGS, GROUNDBREAKINGS, SPECIAL EVENTS, ANYTHING THAT YOU ALL MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING OR GOING TO, UM, IT'LL BE POPULATED ONTO THIS CALENDAR.
RIGHT? AND, AND WHEN THEY PUT IT ON THE CALENDAR, YOU GET AN EMAIL INVITE TO IT.
SO YOU'RE STILL GONNA GET THE EMAIL, BUT YOU'RE GONNA GET AN INVITE, WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR JUST BY CLICKING.
OKAY? OR YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE IT HERE FROM ANY DEVICE OTHER THAN YOUR ANDROID PHONE,
OKAY? SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER.
THERE'S SOME OTHER PIECES THAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER FOR STAFF TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR THEM TO, TO GET YOU MINUTES AND SUMMARIES AND, AND AGENDAS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT THIS IS THE CRUX OF IT FOR YOU ALL.
THIS GENERAL CHANNEL IS ALL YOU'RE GONNA SEE FOR NOW.
AND ON THE, THAT GENERAL CHANNEL, YOU'LL HAVE THESE THREE, WHAT ARE CALLED TABS.
THESE TABS ARE, WILL BE AVAILABLE TO YOU.
YOU WON'T HAVE UH, RIGHT RIGHTS TO ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS.
SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO OPEN THEM.
YOU'D PROBABLY BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD A DOCUMENT IF YOU NEED TO, BUT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO CHANGE ANY DOCUMENTS AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE A POST ON THIS POST CHANNEL.
OKAY? SO WE HAVE READ OLY ACCESS.
NOW, WE'LL STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO PUT A POST IF WE WANTED.

EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO, UM, IS GONNA MAKE UP SOME KIND OF POST SO THAT EVERYBODY WILL BE UP TO DATE ON ANY INFORMATION THAT'S BEING SHARED.
THAT'S LONGER THAN I GOT WITH THE OTHER BOARDS.
DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YES, SIR.
JUST SO THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT Y'ALL WANNA UNDERSTAND.
ANYWAY,
HOW FAR, HOW FAR UP STAFF DOES THAT GO? ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP.
THAT DEPENDS ON WHO THEY, WHO THEY ADD TO THE TEAM OF STAFF.
OPPORTUNITIES AND STAFF IS GONNA BE LIKE THESE TWO.
AND I ARE HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
IT'S GONNA BE LIMITED ACCESS FROM THE STAFF SIDE, SO YOU'RE NOT GETTING BOMBARDED FROM OTHER PEOPLE.
IT'LL EITHER BE FROM KEITH, YVONNE, OR MYSELF.
THE ONLY OTHER PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE ADDED TO THE ALL OF THE BOARDS ARE THE CITY SECRETARY.
SO IT'S JUST STAFF WHO'S INVOLVED WITH WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
I CAN SEE IT NOW, BUT I'M GONNA DROP OFF IT UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO SEND YOU SOME POSTS AND I CAN DO THAT.
WHAT IF THEY HAVE IT? QUESTIONS? YEAH.
SO THAT, THAT BRINGS ME TO ANOTHER, ANOTHER, UH, PART TO THIS.
UH, WHEN YOU GET THAT INVITATION, IF YOU FIND THAT YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE,
[00:15:01]
IT'S NOT WORKING, UH, YOU HAVE QUESTIONS YOU WANT TO MAYBE DO A LITTLE MORE DEEPER DIVE INTO THIS, UM, LET ONE OF THESE, ONE OF THE STAFF LIAISONS KNOW THEY'LL GET WITH ME AND WE'LL SCHEDULE TIME.UM, IF WE GOTTA MEET OVER AT INTRINSIC, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I NEED TO DO,
I'LL MEET YOU WHEREVER, BUT I I WILL COME AND MEET YOU WHEREVER TO, SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THIS TRANSITION IS SMOOTH BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TRANSITION.
AND, AND WE MAY HAVE MORE THINGS THAT ARE GONNA REALLY AUTOMATE AND MAKE LIFE A LITTLE EASIER FOR YOU.
MS. JANSEN, MS. JANSSEN HAS A QUESTION FOR US.
SO AFTER THE FIRST TIME YOU ACCESS IT, IS IT GOING TO BE LIKE AN APP ON OUR PHONE OR HOW DO WE KEEP ACCESSING IT? SO IT IT ON YOUR PHONE? IT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE AN APP AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HAVING TROUBLE.
THERE'S AN APP THAT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD.
IF, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE, UH, AN IPHONE, ONE OF THE GOOD PHONES
UM, BUT ON YOUR, ON YOUR LAPTOP, IT'LL BE IN A BROWSER.
AND HOW WILL THIS COME INTO MY BLACKBERRY
HOW DO WE GET INTO THIS? AGAIN? YOU'RE GONNA RECEIVE AN, AN EMAIL INVITE.
SO YOU'RE GONNA GET AN EMAIL THAT SAYS YOU'VE BEEN INVITED TO.
EVERYBODY SHOULD GOT AN EMAIL.
YOU SHOULD HAVE AN INVITE RIGHT NOW.
SO IN THAT, IN THAT EMAIL, YOU'LL HAVE A BUTTON THAT'LL SAY, JOIN, JOIN THE TEAM.
IF YOU DON'T SEE IT IN YOUR EMAIL BOX, CHECK THE JUNK EMAIL.
'CAUSE IT MAY GO TO YOUR, YOUR JUNKER OR SPAM EMAIL.
AND IF YOU STILL CAN'T FIND IT, LET ME KNOW AND WE'LL FIND IT FOR YOU.
KEITH, DID YOU JUST SEND IT OUT OR DID YOU SEND IT OUT JUST NOW? YEAH, SO THERE, THERE MAY BE SOME TIME DELAYS TOO.
SO YEAH, GIVE IT A SECOND TO, YEAH, LAG.
THERE'S ALWAYS A LITTLE WIRELESS.
SO YEAH, THE ONE THING THAT YOU REALLY SHOULD KEEP IN MIND IS THIS IS GOING THROUGH MICROSOFT SERVERS, SO THERE'LL BE A LITTLE DELAY.
WHY DON'T YOU USE LINUX? I I DON'T EVEN, HEY, I'M WITH YOU
I DON'T EVEN, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THOSE WORDS MEAN.
SO IT'S, UH, I GOT 1, 2, 3, 4, 4 NOTICES HERE.
WELL, IT BASICALLY DID NOT TAKE EVERYBODY THE FIRST TIME.
I HAD TO HIT IT A COUPLE OF TIMES.
SO THAT MIGHT BE THE REASON WHY YOU GOT FOUR
I THINK YOU HIT IT FOUR TIMES MYSELF.
WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU COULD FIND IT.
I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET.
PROBLEM IS SOME GUY'S ANDROID PHONE,
THAT WOULD BE, THE QR CODE IS PROBABLY TO DOWNLOAD THE APP.
I WOULDN'T IF YOU, IF ALL YOU GOT WAS A QR CODE, LET ME KNOW.
'CAUSE YOU SHOULD GET A BUTTON THAT SAYS GO TO GO TO HERE.
BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYBODY AT LEAST GOT THE NOTIFICATION.
YEAH, WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE YOU REALLY VERIFY.
AND IT MAY BE EASIER TO DO ON A DESKTOP LATER, BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE EVERY ALREADY GOT THEIR, THEIR EMAIL.
THE EMAIL THAT I HAD WAS CORRECT.
OKAY, SO NOW I'M JUST GONNA GIVE YOU SEND, SEND CODE SEVEN MINUTES.
YOU'LL NEED TO GO TO YOUR EMAIL, EMAIL, EMAIL.
WELL, YOU'LL NEED TO GO TO YOUR, YOU HAVE TO GO TO YOUR EMAIL NOW.
YEAH, SO JUST THAT AND GO TO EMAIL ALL THE, OF COURSE.
I AND THEN GO TO GO OUT AND THEN RIGHT HERE BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA DO THE APP.
I ALREADY HAVE MY SCHOOL ACCOUNT ON.
YOUR VERIFICATION CODE IS GONNA BE FOUR.
YOU COULD ADD ANOTHER, YOU ADD YOUR PERSONAL ACCOUNT.
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE LIKE
[00:20:01]
A WHOLE MICROSOFT SUBSCRIPTION TO IT.I IF YOU GO BACK THAT'S CORRECT.
WE CAN ADD IT TO IT, BUT IT WON'T OPEN IN, UH, IT WON'T OPEN IN A BROWSER.
ON, ON A, ON A MOBILE DEVICE, WHICH IS AN IPAD IS A MOBILE DEVICE AND THAT'S JUST, I'M SURE MICROSOFT IS FIXING THAT, BUT LAPTOPS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS BEST FOR NOW.
SO SEAN, HE, UH, MR. CARTER GOT A, CANNOT OPEN THE LINK, DOESN'T HAVE PERMISSIONS.
MATT GAVE ME PERMISSION, BUT HE STILL WOULDN'T LET ME.
IT'S, YOU SEE THE REST OF IT GOES THAT CORD DOWN ALL IT'S GOING.
DID YOURS? YEAH, BECAUSE IT'S TRYING TO GO TO SAFARI.
UM, I'M GONNA WAIT UNTIL I DO IT ON MY LAPTOP AT HOME BECAUSE I DON'T WANT, YEAH, I DON'T WANNA DO MY AH, UNFORTUNATELY I'M GONNA TELL YOU THE SAME UNLESS WE DOWNLOAD THE APP ONTO YOUR PHONE.
I'M ALREADY THROUGH EIGHT STEPS NOW.
WHEN AM I GONNA GET THERE? JUST, JUST, JUST YOU GOTTA GET TO 10.
WELL, EIGHT'S WAY BEYOND MY LIMITS.
YOU WANNA TRY? BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON, WHATEVER MICROSOFT REASON, UNLESS YOU HAVE AN IPHONE WITH THE APP ON IT, AH, IT DOESN'T BECAUSE IT'S NOT GONNA LET YOU, THAT MESSAGE THAT IT'S GIVING YOU IS BECAUSE IT'S TRYING TO ACCESS THE BROWSER AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, MICROSOFT JUST WON'T LET YOU ACCESS THE BROWSER ON YOUR MOBILE DEVICE.
I'M GONNA DOWNLOAD THE MICROSOFT, WHICH I THINK I DID.
SO IF HE JUST DOWNLOADED THE APP AND THEN IT'S ASKING FOR AN EMAIL OR A PHONE TO GET STARTED WITH YOUR MICROSOFT ACCOUNT, WHAT DO THEY NEED TO PUT IN? SO I JUST DOWNLOADED HIS TEAMS' APP ON HIS PHONE AND THEN IT OPENED THAT.
SO WHAT DO WE NEED TO PUT IN? SEE, THIS IS WHY I WANTED IT, THAT'S WHY WE WANTED IT HERE.
SO YOU CAN ALSO DOWNLOAD THE APP.
I GOTTA HAVE SOMETHING I CAN GOTTA GIVE MY WIFE AND LIKE HOW YOU PAYING ME TO DO THIS? SCOUTS S OH, THAT MUST BE TAKEN OFF
HOW DO I CLOSE THIS? THIS MAKES ME FEEL A LITTLE BETTER WHEN IT TAKES HIM.
RICHARD, WERE YOU ABLE TO GET IN? DID YOU GET HERE? DAVID, ARE YOU IN? UH, EITHER DAVID.
YOU DON'T THINK SO? I'M GONNA DO THIS AT HOME IN MY I OH, OKAY.
THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA TRY ON MY, UH, JUST SEE YOUR, JASON, ARE YOU IN? THAT'S UH, I'M WORKING ON IT.
DON, ARE YOU IN? I JUST GOT EMAILS.
I JUST WANT, I WONDER IF, UM, I WONDER IF HE HAD YOUR EMAIL.
CAN I GET MY SLIDE RULE OUT AND LET YOU FIX THIS ON THE SLIDE RULE? YES SIR.
SO ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THE SLIDE RULES GO MORE DIFFERENT TIME.
WELL YOU ADDED THIS, THE ONLY CALCULATE WHERE YOU SET THOSE LINES,
KEITH, DID YOU CHECK, UH, HIS EMAIL? HE STILL HASN'T GOTTEN, YEAH, HE STILL HASN'T GOTTEN AN EMAIL ADDRESS.
IS IT? I MEAN AN EMAIL YET? IS THAT IT? THAT'S PARTY
OH, I THOUGHT THAT SAID 9 0 1 IS A-O-L-A-O-L
THAT'S A NEW THING AFTER A LI DIDN'T KNOW A OL WAS STELLAR.
SO DO YOU HAVE, SO DO YOU HAVE TO PUT THE DISC IN YOUR COMPUTER TO LIKE, STILL ACCESS THE INTERNET?
THAT'S ACTUALLY SOME SEVEN FOR YOUR, THIS MAKES US FEEL BETTER, DOESN'T IT? YEAH.
[00:25:01]
OH WOW.THE HARDEST PART ABOUT THIS I ASK DEVICE.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT HE JUST RAN INTO.
SO WE'RE GONNA FIGURE THAT PART OF IT OUT.
IT'S DOING IT ON YOUR COMPUTER IS GONNA BE A LOT EASIER.
I COULD GET MY GRANDKID IN THE FIRST GRADE AND SHE COULD COME DO THIS FOR US, BUT THERE YOU GO.
IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO SEND SOMETHING.
DON, HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD YOUR A OL ACCOUNT?
IT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SURVIVED WHITE.
SO I, I'M, I'M, OH YEAH, DEFINITELY.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SEE? THAT MIGHT BE IT.
DON, YOU SHOULD BE GETTING IT NOW.
WELL HAVE YOU, HAVE YOU GONE TO YOUR EMAIL? I I GOT, I GOT IN FRONT OF MY EMAIL ABOUT 10.
YOU GOT IN FROM YOUR EMAIL? YES, BECAUSE IT WASN'T, IT WAS SAYING SOMETHING.
YOU ALREADY, YOU ALREADY I FIGURED I WOULD BE TOO.
I HAVEN'T DOWNLOADED SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.
SO I CLICKED THE WRONG BUTTON.
YEAH, IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS, JUST CALL THE OFFICE ALL DAY BECAUSE HAVING TROUBLE, EVEN THIS YES.
SO WE'LL CREATE ANOTHER WINDOW TO WORK IN.
JERRY, YOU IN? NO, I IT'S PROBABLY, UH, NO I'M NOT.
I'LL MOVE, BUT HE GONNA GET A HECK LOT CLOSER THAN I'LL EVER GETTING.
OH, I THOUGHT YOU, I THOUGHT YOU HAD IT LIKE THIS.
AND THEN WHEN IT STARTED I HAD TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT AND THAT'S WHY I GOT LOST BECAUSE IT ASKED FOR SOME INFORMATION.
WHAT'D YOU DO, SEAN? I CLOSED IT.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU? SO ONE OF THE FUN THINGS THAT WE HAVE WITH MICROSOFT TWO, UH, IN THE CLOUD IS IT'S GONNA TAKE A LITTLE WHILE FOR EVERYTHING TO SYNC UP.
AND, AND IF I GAVE YOU THE TECHNICAL RIGAMAROLE TO YOUR EYES WILL ROLL BACK IN YOUR HEAD.
BUT WHEN WE ADD YOU TO A TEAM, IT ADDS YOU TO OUR NETWORK AS A GUEST.
SO RIGHT NOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IS IT'S VERIFYING YOU THAT WE'VE ADDED YOU.
IT'S MAKING YOU A VALID GUEST MEMBER.
AND THAT CODE, WHEN, WHEN WE DOWNLOAD THE APP AND IT SAYS ENTER THAT CODE, THAT CODE ISN'T GONNA WORK UNTIL YOU'RE VERIFIED ON OUR SIDE OF THE NETWORK.
OKAY? THAT'S WHY YOU'RE GETTING PERMISSIONS ISSUES.
UM, TRY IT WHEN YOU GET HOME ON A LAPTOP, UM, AND ALSO TRY IT LATER TOMORROW.
AND THEN IF TOMORROW YOU STILL CAN'T GET IN, LET US KNOW AND WE'LL GET YOU IN.
AND IT, IT'S, IT'S KIND OF A, AS A GUEST, YOU'RE, YOU'RE, Y'ALL ARE TROUBLEMAKERS AS GUESTS ALREADY.
SO IF YOU HAVE, IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE TOMORROW, REACH OUT TO MYSELF OR KEITH AND THEN WE CAN, WE CAN WALK YOU THROUGH IT IN THERE.
SO, AND RESIST THE URGE TO YOU CAN, IT'S NOT GONNA GO ANYWHERE.
ONLY CHANNEL MODERATORS COME CLOSE THIS.
[00:30:01]
GO BACK TO YOUR RUDE, GO BACK TO YOUR, I THINK IT'LL DO IT ON THE COMPUTER.YOU GET THE EMAIL, YOU STILL NO, WE'RE, WE'RE FIGURING IT OUT.
YOU WANNA USE THIS ONE? IS THAT WHAT YOU SET UP WITH? MM-HMM.
RICHARD, DID YOU GET IN, GET IN, GOT GOT IN THE TEAM.
I DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THERE WAS NOTHING.
YEAH, THERE'S NOTHING THERE RIGHT NOW.
NOW ACCESS, WELCOME TO THE, OH, OKAY.
YOU HADN'T GOTTEN THE VERIFICATION CODE YET.
SO WHERE DID, DID IT COME, WHERE DID YOUR VERIFICATION CODE? WE'LL, LIKE, WE'LL MAKE DRUGS.
I'LL TELL HIM THEY CAN'T OPEN THAT LINK.
YEAH, IT'S GETTING HIM PERMISSION THERE.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS JUST TALKING DID.
SO ARE THEY THE SAME? IT LOOK, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S WORKING.
'CAUSE JASON, YEAH, JASON PROBABLY GOT ON, ON HIS LAPTOP JUST FINE.
LAPTOPS THE, AND RICHARD GOT IN THROUGH HIS LAPTOP.
SO IT'S JUST THOSE THAT ARE ON, UM, YES.
IT'S A, IT'S A LITTLE MORE, IT'S A LITTLE TRICKIER AND THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE INVOLVED WITH, WITH ON YOUR PHONE AND ON YOUR MOBILE DEVICE.
SO, UM, HANGING THERE WITH US AND WE WILL GET YOU THERE.
WE'LL MAKE, WE'LL MAKE SURE IT WORKS.
DO WE HAVE A TIMELINE BETWEEN NOW AND 20 26, 27 WHEN AT LEAST THE MAJORITY OF US ARE GETTING THIS DONE? I I'M THINKING PROBABLY 20, 28, 20.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE DEALING DEALING WITH DIFFERENT GENERATIONS HERE AND YEAH, WELL, WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME FOR A TIMELINE, I LIKE TO SAY FRIDAY
AS LONG AS IT'S NOT THE NEXT ONE.
BUT NO, I, I AM WORKING ON A COUPLE OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES, SO JUST KIND OF HANG IN THERE WITH ME.
I'LL, I, IF THERE'S A, IF THERE'S A SOLUTION, I'LL FIND IT.
UM, WILL WE HAVE A TRANSITION PERIOD JUST TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNICATION PART'S OKAY.
THIS FOR THIS MONTH, YOU GOT OH, YES, YES.
WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE STILL, AND, AND WE'RE STILL GONNA PROVIDE BACKUP PAPER COPIES AT THE BOARD MEETING AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT TOO.
UNTIL, UNTIL THIS WORKS SEAMLESSLY.
YEAH, WE'RE NOT CUTTING YOU OFF ALREADY.
DID YOU TEXT HIM? TEXT HIM? I KNOW, I CAN SEE IT.
WE CAN ALL SEE IT
THIS, THIS IS GONNA HELP OUT A LOT.
IT, IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BUMPY TO GET EVERYBODY UP AND GOING, BUT WE'LL GET YOU THERE AND WE'LL HELP YOU GET THERE.
AND, UH, IT WILL BE ONCE YOU GET INTO IT, I WAS A SLOW ADOPTER, BUT I LOVE TEAMS NOW.
SO, UM, IT'LL BE EASIER FOR YOU GUYS TO ACCESS THINGS AND YOU'LL GET IT IN QUICKER TIME AND BE ABLE TO TAKE IT WITH YOU ANYWHERE, WHICH IS GREAT.
SO I APPRECIATE YOU BOTH COMING AND, AND HELPING US GET THIS SET UP.
WE REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING YOU AGE AND YOUR POSITION WHILE YOU KEEP COMING BACK HELPING US.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M ONLY 22.
AND LOOK WHAT IT HAS DONE TO YOU, RIGHT?
ALRIGHT, WE READY TO MOVE ON TO THE MEETING? UH, THE 24 25 PROPOSED BUDGET UPDATE, WHICH WILL NOW INCLUDE THREE NEW, UH, PEOPLE FOR THE PARKS BOARD.
UM, NOT THE BOARD BUT THE, FOR THE STAFF AND THEY'LL, AND THEY'LL ALL BE ALL BE TRAINERS.
SO BASICALLY THE BUDGET WAS APPROVED LAST NIGHT, SO, UH, YEAH, WENT, WENT, WENT WITH THAT.
SO, UH, TYPICALLY WHAT I USUALLY COME BACK TO THE BOARD IS KIND OF SHOW Y'ALL THE PRESENTATION THAT WE PROVIDED TO COUNCIL.
UM, AND THEN, UM, WE HAD ONE ITEM THAT Y'ALL ASKED ME TO COME BACK ON AND THAT WAS THAT 6% DECREASE.
IT'S THE ANSWER THAT I THOUGHT OF LAST WEEK OR LAST MONTH, BUT I WANTED TO VERIFY BEFORE I SPOKE.
[00:35:01]
GO REAL QUICK OVER THE COUNCIL PRESENTATION.UM, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE, UH, UH, HOFER RECREATION AND POOL PACKAGE.
UH, BASICALLY WE HAVE SOME ONE-TIME COSTS.
UH, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT, UH, WAS NOT COVERED IN THE, UM, CIP, UH, THINGS THAT, UH, WE COULD NOT CAPITALIZE.
SO WE HAD SOME ITEMS OUT THERE FOR THE AQUATIC EQUIPMENT AND SOME RECREATION EQUIPMENT THAT, UH, WE ARE BUYING ONE TIME.
THE ONGOING COST, WE HAVE A REC SPECIALIST AND AN AQUATIC SUPERVISOR.
UH, AND THEN WE HAVE SOME SEASONAL FOR BOTH THE RECREATION CENTER AND POOLS AND THEN SOME OPERATIONAL EXPENSE AT THE, UH, FACILITY.
UM, WE'RE GOING INTO OUR SECOND YEAR OF THE WILDFIRE PROGRAM.
UM, THIS, UH, IS BASICALLY ONE TIME MONEY THAT WE KEEP ON ASKING FOR EACH YEAR, UH, BUT IT'S BASICALLY, UH, YEAR TWO OF THE WILDFIRE PROGRAM.
SO, AND THEN THE THIRD ONE IS THAT, UM, THEY ARE FUNDING ABOUT $400,000 OUT OF THE TREE MITIGATION FUND.
UM, PART OF THAT ONE TIME COST WILL BE SOME LANDSCAPING, IRRIGATION UPGRADES TO CITY FACILITIES.
UH, THAT'S JUST GETTING 'EM UP TO STANDARDS, UH, TAKE OUT THE OLD, PUT IN SOME NEW, UM, NEW, UH, VEGETATION.
UM, WE'RE IN YEAR TWO OF OUR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS THAT, UH, WE ARE UPDATING ON OUR ATHLETIC FIELD THAT IS COVERING YEAR TWO, UH, FOR 85,000.
UH, WE HAVE SOME TREE MAINTENANCE IN THERE THAT, UH, CONTINUING TO, UM, DO SOME TREE REMOVAL PRUNING.
UM, THEN THE, A CULTURAL PRACTICE, MATT CAN PROBABLY TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT.
BUT, SO THAT'S GONNA BE THINGS LIKE FERTILIZATION, PRUNING, UM, OTHER TYPES OF THINGS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR, UH, TREE MAINTENANCE.
AND, UH, I KNOW HE SAID THIS DURING THE COUNCIL, BUT UH, WE SAW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T DO THAT WITH THE STORMS THAT HAPPEN EARLIER IN THE YEAR.
SO, UH, IF YOU DON'T DO THOSE MAINTENANCE, THEN WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE STORMS, YOU'LL HAVE THE BIG, UH, DAMAGE THAT WE HAD.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE SOME LANDSCAPE REPLACEMENT.
UH, WE, UH, PLANT REPLACEMENT FOR LANDSCAPE BEDS.
AND THEN LAST WE HAVE SOME DOWNTOWN PLANT REPLACEMENT.
UH, THE DOWNTOWN IS BEING USED A LOT.
THEY HAVE TO REPLACE SOME OF THAT LANDSCAPE.
UM, AND THEN GOING INTO THE RECREATION PERFORMANCE FUND.
UM, THIS IS NOT WHAT WE PRESENTED FIRST, UH, BUT THIS IS WHAT WE BASICALLY DID.
UM, UM, AFTER, UH, COUNCIL FEEDBACK.
UM, THEY THOUGHT THE, UH, AFTER HOURS RENTALS WAS A LITTLE LOW, SO THEY ASKED US TO COME BACK TO 'EM WITH ANOTHER FEE, KIND OF SIMILAR TO THE ATRIUM.
SO WHAT, UM, DELAY SAM AND I DID, WE WENT IN, CAME IN WHAT WE THOUGHT WE COULD DO WITHOUT GOUGING.
SO WE RAISED THE, UH, THE ORIGINAL, UM, REQUEST PROPOSED FEES WAS 7 25.
WE INCREASED THE RESIDENT RATE TO EIGHT 50 AND THEN, UM, COMMERCIAL NON-RESIDENT RATE TO 1,200.
UH, WE DID THE, UH, PARTY DECK.
WE LEFT IT AT $60, BUT WE INCR, UH, ADDED A NON-RESIDENT AND WE DID THAT THE SAME FOR THE CABANA RENTALS AND PARTY RENTALS.
AND THEN, UH, ALL THE OTHER FEES WE LEFT NO CHANGE.
YOU'RE PRETTY STOUT ON THOSE FIRST ONES.
THAT'S, THAT'S, UH, GONNA CAUSE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE PROBABLY TO, TO, TO WALK AWAY RATHER THAN THAN USE THE FACILITIES THAT THIS, THAT IS STILL WITHIN THE, UH, METROPLEX, UH, AVERAGE.
WE WAS VERY CONSERVATIVE WHEN WE PROVIDED THE FIRST 7 25, BUT WE ARE STILL WITHIN THE METROPLEX AVERAGE WITH THE EIGHT 50.
IT JUST SEEMS SOMETIMES WE HAVE TROUBLE MAKING THAT AVERAGE.
WELL, I MEAN, THE GOOD THING IS, WE'LL, WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENED THE FIRST YEAR AND WE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK AND, YOU KNOW, AND COME BACK TO THE BOARD, UH, BASED OFF OF THESE FEES.
[00:40:01]
DIRECT, UM, CORRESPONDENT WITH WHAT COUNCIL REQUESTED STAFF TO DO.IT SEEMED LIKE YOU'D, TO ME, IF I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW TO GET THINGS BEING USED, I WOULD, I'D GIVE A DISCOUNT IN THE FIRST YEAR AND GET PEOPLE USED TO USING IT AND THEN, AND THEN RAISE THE, RAISE THE PRICE ON 'EM.
THAT'S THE WAY MOST NEW BUSINESSES COME INTO PLAY AND WE'RE GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
I'M SORRY, DON, WHAT'S A PARTY DECK?
SO I DON'T HAVE IMAGES, BUT BASICALLY, I'M TRYING TO THINK WHICH ONE'S WHICH.
OKAY, SO AT THE NEW FACILITY, SO REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD THE LITTLE BREEZEWAY THAT, UH, DURING THE, UH, WINTER WE CAN OPEN THE DOORS THAT YOU ACTUALLY WALK THROUGH DURING THE SUMMER.
WE CLOSE THAT AND THEN WE'RE ABLE TO CREATE PARTY SPACE FOR, TO BE ABLE TO RENT THAT DURING THE, UM, SUMMER MONTHS.
AND THEN YOU GOT YOUR CABANAS THAT BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, AND THEN YOU GOT THE INDOORS PARTY ROOM.
SO I WISH I HAD A PICTURE TO SHOW YOU.
UH, WE DID HAVE A PICTURE, BUT IT DID NOT GET ON THIS SLIDE.
SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WHEN DELISE, YOU KNOW, GOES AND SO QUESTION, UM, FOR DID, WOULD YOU WANT US TO WAIT AFTERWARDS OR YOU WANNA FINISH WITH THE PRESENTATION, ASK QUESTIONS OR CAN I ASK A QUESTION? NOW? YOU CAN ASK NOW.
RENTAL, WHAT, SO I GUESS WHAT DO THEY TAKE OVER THE WHOLE THING? EVERYTHING.
THAT'S THE REASON WHY IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPENSIVE.
AND THAT FACILITY DOES TAKE MORE STAFF TO MAINTAIN IT BECAUSE OF JUST THE THE WAVE POOL OR THE WAVE, THE LAZY RIVER AND THE SLIDES.
YEAH, I THINK IT'S, YEAH, I THINK IT'S FAIR.
I THINK THAT'S SO WHAT IS CONSIDERED AFTER HOUR TIMES? UM, YOU WOULD ASK THAT QUESTION SIX TO EIGHT ROUGHLY.
UH, SO IT'S AFTER THE, IT IS USUALLY THE WEEKENDS, SO IT'S THE HOURS THAT WE'RE NOT OPEN TO OPEN SWIM.
DO YOU HAVE ANY TIME SOMEBODY NEEDS TO EXPAND THAT ONE MORE HOUR OR HOW MANY, ANY VARI ANY VARIABLES IN THERE? I'M JUST ASKING.
UM, I KNOW SURFING SWIM WE DID.
UM, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THIS IN THE FEES, BUT THAT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED AND THAT, UH, IF IT IS, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S THE LEE OR SAM WILL COME BACK TO YOUR POINT.
WE WANT TO GET THROUGH A YEAR OF OPERATION AND, AND SEE HOW THINGS WORK AND SEE WHAT YOUR COSTS ARE AND THEN WE WILL MORE THAN LIKELY REVISIT SOME OF THESE.
THAT'S AN AN ANNUAL THING ANYWAY.
CORRECT? UM, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WHEN YOU GET TO THOSE KIND OF NUMBERS, YOU'RE GONNA NEED A PRETTY GOOD, PRETTY GOOD VOLUME OF PEOPLE THERE AND, AND IF YOU GET THE VOLUME OF PEOPLE, TWO HOURS MAY NOT WORK.
IT MIGHT, THEY'RE JUST, JUST BRINGING UP THE WHAT IFS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT HAWAIIAN FALLS, THAT COSTS, I WAS SHOCKED HOW MUCH THEY CHARGE FOR PRIVATE RENTALS.
SO IT'S IN, IN THE TENS OF THOUSANDS.
THIS IS FOR A MUNICIPAL POOL IS RIGHT ON LINE WITH OTHER CITIES.
WITH THE, UM, AFTER HOURS THE CHARGE WILL IT BE REQUIRED, WHICH I THINK THEY SHOULD BE.
UM, AND WILL IT BE INCLUDED IN THE COST FOR SECURITY WHEN IT'S AFTER HOURS? WE DO NOT REQUIRE THAT CURRENTLY.
ANYTHING ELSE? ANYTHING ELSE READY TO MOVE ALONG? JUST QUESTION.
UM, DOES IT INCLUDE LIFEGUARDS? YES.
YEAH, THAT'S, WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO RECOUP SOME OF OUR COSTS.
WE HAVE A PYRAMID STRUCTURE, UM, WITHIN THE PYRAMID.
WE'RE NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT COST RECOVERY FOR AQUATICS, BUT WE ARE LOOKING TO HAVE THAT PORTION OF COST RECOVERY AS PART OF THAT.
SO, SO THROUGH THOSE QUESTIONS.
UH, THERE WAS NO CHANGES ON THE, UH, HOT BALL KITCHEN OR THE BRADFIELD PARTY DECK RENTALS.
UM, BUT, UH, I JUST WANTED TO REVISIT
[00:45:01]
WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST MONTH.UM, I SHOWED HERE THAT WE HAVE A 6% CHANGE, A REDUCTION, AND Y'ALL ASKED ME TO COME BACK TO Y'ALL TO TELL Y'ALL WHY WE HAVE A 6% REDUCTION.
IT'S BECAUSE WE LOST TWO DEPARTMENTS.
SO, UM, THE, UH, CULTURAL ARTS HAD ABOUT 1.5 MILLION THAT WAS PART OF PARKS AND REC.
UH, ESPECIALLY EVENTS HAD ABOUT 1.3.
BOTH OF THAT WAS MOVED AFTER THE APPROVED BUDGET, SO IT WASN'T REFLECTED IN THE APPROVED FOR 2324, BUT IN THE REISE AND THE PROPOSED IS NOT IN OUR BUDGET THIS YEAR, SO WE'RE LOOKING ABOUT 18% INCREASE THIS YEAR.
SO AND WHERE WERE THEY MOVED TO? I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT, BUT I, UH, PMR THEY'RE UNDER, UH, TIFFANY, UH, WITH PMR. I'M SORRY, WHAT IS PMR? HOW ABOUT THE IMMEDIATE RELATIONS? OKAY.
YOU USE ACRONYMS, YOU SOMETIMES, HEY, STOP.
BUT USING THEM, YOU'RE DOING MIGHTY FINE.
ANY QUESTIONS? YES, I HAVE TWO.
UM, GOING BACK TO THE MITIGATION FUND SLIDE, COULD YOU, IT'S A HARD WAY.
UM, I GUESS THE QUESTION IS, IS TO, UM, WE'RE I BELIEVE IT'S A LIKE, UPGRADE TO LANDSCAPING FOR OTHER CITY FACILITIES.
UH, I DON'T SEE LIKE ANY OUR OWN FACILITIES LISTED.
WHY ARE WE, WHY IS THAT COMING OUT OF OUR BUDGET WHEN IT'S FOR OTHER CITY FACILITIES? WELL, IT'S, IT'S TECHNICALLY NOT OUR BUDGET, IT'S TREE MITIGATION FUND.
SO THIS IS A WAY TO GET SOME WORK DONE THAT WE THOUGHT WAS IMPORTANT.
SO PARKS ESSENTIALLY, UM, MAINTAINS THE OUTSIDE LANDSCAPING FOR PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE PUBLIC FACING BUILDINGS.
UM, EXCEPT FOR THESE, THESE WILL BE THE LAST ONES THAT WE'LL BRING ON.
WE ALREADY OVERSEE THE MAINTENANCE FOR PD AND FACILITIES AND ANIMAL SERVICES.
UM, MSMB, WHICH IS NOW THE JONES BUILDING CITY HALL, REALLY EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE FIRE STATIONS AND WATER TOWERS AND PUMP STATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
THESE ARE THE LAST CITY FACING, UM, UM, BUILDINGS THAT WE HAVE THAT HAVE PUBLIC.
AND THE LANDSCAPING IS JUST ATROCIOUS IT, THIS DOESN'T HAVE A GOOD ARRIVAL TO IT.
AND SO WE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO UPGRADE THAT.
UH, THESE ARE BEING PUT UNDERNEATH ONE CONTRACTOR, WE'LL BE OVERSEEING THAT CONTRACTOR.
UM, AND SO THIS WAS MONEY THAT WAS FUNDED OUT OF THE TREE MITIGATION TO HELP WITH THOSE ONE TIME, UM, UH, LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS AT THESE CITY FACILITIES TO GET 'EM WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.
AND THAT FALLS UNDER, I GUESS, PARK AND REC TO HANDLE OR MANAGE THAT YEAH, THESE OTHER CITIES.
AND THEN OTHER PART TO THIS, AND, AND PROBABLY IT'S JUST MY MISUNDERSTANDING WHAT THIS IS.
WOULD THERE EVER BE A POSSIBILITY TO DO A HOST A TREE PLANTING EVENT? SO WE PAY, OR WE USING THE TREE MITIGATION FUND TO PAY FOR THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM? OR, AND, OR THE TREES, DEPENDING IF WE COULD FIND A SPONSOR, BUT SO, AND THEN HAVE LIKE IN PLANT TREES IN A PARK, IN A LAND AREA THAT'S JUST NEEDS SHADE OR NEEDS A BIGGER TREE CANOPY AND THEN HAVING PEOPLE FOR THE COMMUNITY COME AND VOLUNTEER.
AND, UM, WE HAVE A HUGE PROGRAM THAT WE'RE, UH, DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW THROUGH A GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED THAT WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IN MUCH GREATER DETAIL.
UM, PROBABLY AT THE DECEMBER OR JANUARY, UH, MEETING IS PROBABLY WHEN IT'LL END UP HAPPENING.
UM, IT, THAT IS GONNA LAY OUT A HUGE TREE PLANTING INITIATIVE THAT, THAT LINES OUT EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.
SO ACCIDENTALLY STILL GOT THUNDERS.
I'VE, I'VE PRESENTED IT, UH, BEFORE AND IT'LL, SO WE'RE NOW GETTING IT TO THE POINT WHERE IT'LL BE READY TO COME BACK AND SHOW WHAT THE PROGRAM'S GONNA LOOK LIKE, HOW MANY TREES WE'RE GONNA DO PER YEAR, KIND OF WHAT IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE.
SO WE'RE KIND OF IN THAT, THAT PLANNING STAGE RIGHT NOW.
ANYBODY ELSE? DAVID, GO AHEAD.
HOW MUCH MONEY'S IN THE TREE MITIGATION FUND? NOW ASK MY QUESTION.
I DON'T HAVE THAT AT MY FINGERTIP.
YEAH, I, I DON'T WANT TO SAY WHAT IT IS.
I KNOW WHAT IT WAS AT ONE TIME.
UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS NOW.
I KNOW THERE'S MORE MONEY THAT'S GOING INTO IT.
UM, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THERE'S ENOUGH TO COVER THIS AND
[00:50:01]
THE MATCH TO OUR GRANT THAT I HAD TALKED ABOUT, AND THEN SOME, I JUST DON'T KNOW THE EXACT YEAH.UM, BUT THE NICE THING IS, IS IT'S, IT'S A FUND THAT'S BEING USED IN MY OPINION, FOR WHAT IT, FOR WHAT IT NEEDS TO BE USED.
FOR, AND WE'RE BEING CONSERVATIVE WITH IT SO THAT, UM, IT IS BEING SPENT DOWN.
BUT FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN, AND IT'S NOT IN ANY DANGER OF RUNNING OUT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'VE, I'VE GOT A COUPLE THINGS HERE.
UH, TREE MITIGATION FUND, WHERE'S THAT MONEY COME FROM? BASICALLY, IT'S, UH, WHEN A CONTRACTOR COME AND I GUESS REMOVE TREES.
AND MATT PROBABLY SHOULD BE EXPLAINING THIS MORE THAN ME, BUT BASICALLY THEY HAD TO PAY A FEE.
THEY, THEY BASICALLY HAD TO PAY A FEE FOR THAT.
I KNEW WHERE IT CAME FROM AND I KNOW WHAT, I KNOW WHAT THE DEVELOPER'S EXPECTING OF THAT.
NOW THEN, IF WE'RE NOT REPLACING A TREE FOR A TREE, THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS BEEN SOLD ALL OVER, ALL OVER TEXAS.
SO WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE GONNA REPLACE TREES WITH IT, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE DOING LANDSCAPING.
WE'RE DOING THINGS, OTHER THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE THAT MAY HAVE OTHER SOURCES OF FINANCING.
AND UNDER THE CRITERIA THAT WAS OUTLINED FOR THE TREE MITIGATION, THEY ARE FOLLOW THE GUIDELINE TO THE T.
SO I THINK IT FALLS WITHIN THE GUIDELINES MORE LIKE BEAUTIFICATION OF YES.
AND I DON'T, I DON'T, I DON'T DOUBT THAT AT ALL.
UM, BUT I GOT, I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU.
WE HAVE PLACES IN THE, IN THE, UH, CITY, SAY ALONG MAJOR MAJOR CORRIDORS LIKE CENTERVILLE ROAD, UH, BROADWAY, WHERE WE'VE GOT TREES NOW THAT SPENT 25 YEARS GROWING UP TILL THEY FINALLY GOT, THEY'RE IN THEIR POWER LINES.
SO NOW THEY'RE HACKING THE, HACKING THE DICKENS OUT OF THEM.
SO THEY WENT FROM BEAUTIFUL TREES FIVE YEARS AGO TO UGLY THINGS.
NOW, AND I'M JUST PUTTING THIS OUT, THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE CONSIDERED BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING, TALKING IN DISTRICT THREE OUT THERE AND SOME OF THE AREAS AROUND WHERE WE, WE MAY NEED TO LOOK AT COMING IN AND TAKING DOWN SOME OF THOSE TREES BECAUSE WE PLANTED LIVE OAK TREES, BEAUTIFUL LIVE OAK TREES RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE POWER LINES.
AND, AND I HAVE A COPY OF HOW THEY HAVE TO PRUNE 'EM.
THEY HAVE TO PRUNE 'EM IN A V MM-HMM.
UH, BUT ANYWAY, JUST AS A PIECE OF THE BEAUTIFICATION GARLAND STILL HAS A PROBLEM IN MANY AREAS WITH MAKING A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION.
WE'VE GOT PLACES WHERE YOU CAN GO AND FIND THINGS.
BUT SOMETIMES BY THE, BY THE TIME PEOPLE GET TO 'EM, THEY'VE ALREADY GIVEN UP ON GARLAND.
AND, AND THOSE AREAS OF BROADWAY AND CENTERVILLE ARE TWO OF THEM WHERE, UH, AND MILLER ROAD AND MILLER ROAD COMING IN FROM ETTE NOW, NOW THAT WE HAVE A NEW DEVELOPMENT COMING IN, THEY'VE CLEANED UP, UH, UH, WELL OVER A QUARTER OF A MILE.
AND NOW, SO NOW WE STILL HAVE ABOUT AN EIGHTH OF A MILE WHERE IT'S, WHERE IT'S WEEDS ABOUT THIS TALL GROWING THROUGH THE BARBED WIRE FENCE.
BUT NOW THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, CITY OF GARLAND MAINTAINS ALL THAT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MILLER.
THEY MAINTAIN THAT AND IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.
AND I THINK IT'S TIME WE NOW START CONSIDERING THE FIRST IMPRESSIONS BEING A HOME BUILDER.
I KNOW THE VALUE OF A FIRST IMPRESSION.
YOU, YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION.
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE PLACES THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST, BUT I HADN'T TALKED ABOUT IN A LONG TIME.
UH, BUT NOW THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SUCH THINGS, THAT WOULD BE A PLACE THAT WE WOULD HOPE THAT WE'D START SEEING SOME, SOME EFFORTS MADE TO CLEAN UP NOW FROM THE BRIDGE TO THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT'S, THAT'S STARTING IN THERE BECAUSE THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANYTHING DONE SINCE.
I USED TO RIDE HORSES DOWN THERE IN THAT THING IN THE SIXTIES.
SO ANYWAY, THE, THE MAIN THING WAS THAT BEING IN THE BUILDING BUSINESS, UNDERSTAND THE TREE ORDINANCES AND UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE THEM.
UM, BUT THE MONEY COMES FROM TAKING MONEY FROM A DEVELOPER FOR THE, FOR THE RIGHT TO BUILD IN, IN, IN GARLAND THAT'S BEING DONE EVERYWHERE.
BUT THE USE OF THAT MONEY IS THE THING THAT, UH, ALTHOUGH WE MAY BE WITHIN THE, IN THE, IN THE, UM, VERBIAGE OF THE LAW, SOMETIMES WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GIVING BACK TO THOSE DEVELOPERS TO HELP THEM HAVE HIGHER VALUE IN THEIR PROPERTIES, WHICH GIVES US MORE PROPERTY TAXES, WHICH GIVES US MORE MONEY TO WORK WITH.
ANYBODY ELSE? ANYBODY ELSE? YOU READY TO GO, GO FURTHER, KEITH, ARE YOU? I'M DONE.
WELL DARN, YOU DID A GOOD JOB.
UH, IS THERE ANY WAY WE, WHERE YOU COULD SEND THIS TO US, JUST WHAT YOU JUST PUT UP THERE? WELL, LET'S DO A TEST AND LET ME PUT THIS IN THE, UH, OH NO.
[00:55:01]
WE WANNA SEE ITAND YOU'LL GET US ALL IN HERE AND WE'LL HAVE IT SOMETIME.
I'LL HAVE THIS, UH, UPLOADED TOMORROW.
YOU'LL HAVE A LOT, A LOT QUICKER THAN WE'LL GET TO IT.
WE DO APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU GUYS ARE DOING AND, AND YOU ALWAYS GIVE US A GREAT PRESENTATION.
ANYBODY ELSE? ANYBODY ELSE? YOU GET HIM BEFORE HE GOES AWAY.
WHERE ARE WE NOW? WE ARE, WE ARE, WE'VE BEEN PROVOST, BUT, UH, COMMUNICATE CAPITAL, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT STUDIES, UH, COMMUNICATIONS ENCLOSURES.
UH, D UH, 3D, SILVER, SILVER SCOOP.
WHICH WE'VE GOT THAT FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. WELL, UH, ON, ON C IF ANYBODY HAS, MARK IS HERE AS USUAL.
SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY SPECIFIC, UM, BOND RELATED PROJECTS, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER 'EM.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE DON'T SKIP OVER IN CASE ANYBODY HAS ANY PROJECT QUESTIONS.
MARK, YOU ALWAYS HAVE INTERESTING THINGS TO SAY.
UH, WE'RE GOOD AT THAT SURFING SWIM.
UH, JULY 29TH WE HAD THE NOTICE TO PROCEED FOR THE CONTRACTOR.
UM, SO THAT IS COMING ABOUT, UM, SLATED FOR SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.
IT'LL BE REALLY EXCITING KIND OF PROJECT.
HAVE THEY STARTED THE DEMO ON THAT NOW, OR NOT? NOT YET.
BUT THEY'RE REALLY, THEY'RE GETTING OUT ON SITE JUST TO KIND OF GET THE FEEL FOR THE SITE AND EVERYTHING GET, AND THEN EVENTUALLY MOBILIZE PRETTY SOON.
SO IT'S GONNA BE A, OH, IT'S GONNA BE FANTASTIC.
VERY FUN PROJECT TO BE INVOLVED ON.
SO, AND THAT WOULD DUE TO COMPLETE 26, 26 26.
PUT THIS IN INTO JULY AND AUGUST.
UM, YOU KNOW, MAKING GREAT STRIDES AT HOLFORD REC CENTER IN AQUATIC CENTER, IT'S LOOKING GREAT.
UH, WE GOT A, WE HAVE A GOOD CONTRACTOR OUT THERE WHO'S REALLY KNOWS HOW TO MAINTAIN A, UH, A GOOD JOB SITE SAFE AND IT'S SECURE AND IT'S, UM, A LOT OF GREAT PROGRESS.
UH, SO WITHIN, UH, D AND D WE HAVE A LOT OF PROJECTS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE GETTING, UH, EITHER KIND OF MIDWAY TO BE, UH, IN DESIGN OR SOME THAT ARE LIKE AROUND THERE, 90%.
SO LOU HUFF, UH, PARK, WE'RE ABOUT A 30%, UM, DESIGN SET.
SO WE'LL HAVE A 30, A 60 AND A 90 AND THEN THAT'LL BE THE BID SET AFTER THE 90%.
SO WE'RE MAKING REALLY GOOD PROGRESS WITH THAT.
WE'VE HAD OUR MEETINGS WITH ENGINEERING, UH, TO TALK ABOUT THE SPECIFICS.
UM, CODE AND SPLASH PAD, WERE AT A 90% CONSTRUCTION SET.
UM, THE INTENT IS TO BID, GET EVERYTHING TOGETHER TILL WE, WE COULD POSSIBLY BID AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.
UM, AND USUALLY THAT'S ABOUT A FOUR, FOUR WEEK.
SO BID TIMEFRAME, UM, WIN JOYCE PARK, WE'RE AT AROUND A 90% SET AS WELL.
SO THIS ONE WAS KIND OF RUNNING ALONGSIDE, UH, RICK GODIN'S SPLASH PAD.
UM, KINGSLEY, WE ARE STILL UPDATING THIS WITH THE CONSULTANT, WHICH IS KIMLEY HORN.
WE'VE HAD TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SITE JUST BASED ON THE, THE FUNDING THAT'S AVAILABLE, BUT STILL TRYING TO MAKE IT A REALLY A, A REALLY INVITING PART.
BUT WE'RE HAVE, WE HAD TO ELIMINATE SOME OF THE AMENITIES TO IT, BUT IT'S LOOKING GOOD.
UM, JOHN PAUL JONES, UH, WE'RE SCHEDULED TO BID LATER THIS YEAR.
UM, JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT A REALLY GOOD PARK 'CAUSE IT'S JUST ADJACENT TO THE NEW HOTEL THAT'S, UH, SLATE TO GO IN.
IT'S, IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE DRIVEN PAST, IT'S, IT'S, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE MUO LIGHT POLES UP SO YOU CAN REALLY SEE WHERE THE PREMIER TO QUARTZ ARE GOING TO BE LOCATED.
SO JUST THAT VERTICAL VERTICALITY OF ALL THE POLES, IT REALLY STARTS TO KIND OF IMAGINE THE PLACE, UH, IN THE SPACE MORE THAN JUST A BUNCH OF DIRT.
I MAY JUST TAKE THIS ONE OFF FOR THE NEXT TIME FOR THE AUDUBON PICNIC 'CAUSE IT TENDS, IT JUST TENDS TO ROLL OVER FOR EVERYTHING ELSE.
UH, NAME AND FOREST TRAIL CONNECTION.
UH, WE ARE ABOUT A 60% DD SET.
IT'LL BE A HUNDRED PERCENT DD AND THEN WE START BACK TO THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.
SO WE, WHAT'S THE TIMEFRAME FOR THAT? RIGHT NOW? I THINK THE 60%, UH, WE RECEIVED THAT IN JUNE.
SO THE NEXT SUBMITTAL SHOULD BE, UH, WITHIN I THINK, UH, OCTOBER.
I GOT SOME SI WANNA GO IN AND DO A SUPPLANT RESCUE.
AND THEN STRIP AND THEY WERE JUST WAITING FOR COOLER WEATHER.
AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE OUR WALK AT, UH, UH, CAN WE EAT BOTH IF YOU WANT? THAT'S
[01:00:01]
RIGHT.UH, DUCK CREEK UBON TRAIL, THIS IS KIND OF RUNNING ALONGSIDE WITH, UH, NAME AND FOREST SLIGHTLY, UH, LOWER.
SO WE HAD TO, UH, REALLY GET A GOOD STUDY GOING ON 'CAUSE IT'S IN A FLOOD FLOOD AREA, SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE IT'S DONE RIGHT.
UH, CENTRAL PARK WALKING TRAIL, WE'RE HOPING TO BID THAT WITHIN, UH, ABOUT TWO WEEKS TOWARD THE END OF THIS MONTH.
UM, DUCK CREEK SOUTH EXTENSION, WE ARE NEARING COMPLETION ON THAT PROJECT.
WE ARE ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF TO TWO MONTHS LEFT ON THAT, JUST FOR CLEANUP.
BUT, UH, WE ARE GETTING REALLY CLOSE TO BEING FINALIZED ON THAT ONE.
SO, UH, WE'RE GONNA DO SOME SELECTIVE, UM, LIKE, UH, HYDRO MULCH AND SEEDING INITIALLY AND THEN COME BACK AFTER, UH, THE WINTER RIGHT BEFORE SPRING TO DO IT ONE MORE TIME.
MAKE SURE EVERYTHING REALLY GETS ESTABLISHED REALLY WELL OUT THERE.
SO, SO THAT WAS KIND OF THE QUICK RUNDOWN IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS.
CAMERA TWO, YOU SAID THAT Y'ALL, THERE Y'ALL ARE BUILDING NEW TENNIS COURTS AT KINGSLEY, OR WHERE IS IT THAT THE CONSTRUCTION'S HAPPENING? TUCKER TUCKER OR THE BOB DAY TENNIS CENTER.
AND I CAN'T REMEMBER FROM THE DESIGN.
I THINK Y'ALL ARE ADDING PICKLEBALL COURTS THERE, OR AT LEAST MAKING SOME OF THE MULTI-USE WHERE IT'S PICKLEBALL AT PHASE TWO OF THAT PROJECT.
WE'LL HAVE PICKLEBALL COURTS THE FIRST PHASE WE'LL HAVE JUST 12, 12 TENNIS COURTS.
BUT, UH, WE, HOW ABOUT THE OTHER ONE? RIGHT.
UH, THE, UH, SO WAS THERE ANY THOUGHT TO TURN IN THE OLD TENNIS COURTS INTO PICKLEBALL? YES, YES, ACTUALLY.
SO, UM, JACK COLEMAN TENNIS WILL BE CONVERTED TO PICKLEBALL.
UM, WE'RE STILL ARE GONNA WORK TOGETHER WITH PMO ON GETTING A GOOD SCOPE FOR THAT DEVELOPED.
SO THE INTENT IS THAT, UH, PHASE TWO OF PICKLEBALL WILL OCCUR AT RICK ODIN, BUT WHO KNOWS WHEN THAT WOULD OCCUR.
JACK COLEMAN WILL BE PICKLEBALL, BUT ONLY ONCE TUCKER IS UP AND RUNNING THAT WAY IT'S NOT JUST CUTTING OUT THE TENNIS COURT ALTOGETHER.
SO, AND THEN HOPEFULLY IF IT WORKS OUT WELL, WE'LL HAVE PHASE TWO OF TUCKER HILL, WHICH WILL HAVE, UH, PICKLEBALL COURTS AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL TENNIS COURTS, BUT NOT, NOT NEXT TO ONE ANOTHER.
'CAUSE EVIDENTLY TENNIS PEOPLE AND PICKLEBALL PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO MINGLE TOO MUCH.
SO DIFFERENT GENERATIONS, I GUESS.
SO
BUT IF THE LINES WERE DOWN AND PEOPLE JUST BROUGHT THEIR OWN NUTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT WITH EVERY POSSIBILITY.
AND I EVEN THINK THAT, I THINK ONE IS LIKE THAT AT CENTRAL PARK, I THINK UNLESS PEOPLE DID IT THEMSELVES.
SO THEY PROBABLY DID IT, DID IT THERE THEMSELVES.
SO WHAT WE ARE RIGHT NOW IS WE'RE GETTING, UM, A BID JUST TO STRIFE OUR ONE-OFF TENNIS COURTS SO THAT THEY COULD BE SET UP FOR PICKLEBALL.
UH, BUT THE BIG CONVERSION FOR PICKLEBALL IS GONNA HAPPEN WHEN WE'RE ABLE, ONCE THE NEW TENNIS CENTER IS OPEN AND WE'RE ABLE TO CONVERT THE OLD TENNIS CENTER TO PICKLEBALL, THAT, THAT'S GONNA BE A, A HUGE ATTRACTION.
'CAUSE THAT'LL BE A LOT OF DIFFERENT COURTS OUT THERE.
AND I GUESS THAT, THAT KIND OF POINTS ME, IS THERE A MASTER PLAN FOR PICKLEBALL COURTS? AND I GUESS I ASK IT.
'CAUSE RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE OFFICIALLY ANY, WHICH I KNOW EVERYONE KNOWS THAT'S KIND OF VERY, VERY BEHIND.
WE HAD SOME AT HOLFORD HOLFORD AND THERE'S, AND THERE WILL BE SOME MORE PUBLIC, THERE'LL BE MORE AT HOLFORD WHEN THEY GO IN.
SO THERE'LL BE AT, THERE'LL BE AT HOLFORD.
UM, WE WILL BE NORTH GARLAND RES STRIPING, THE OTHER ONE-OFF COURTS THAT WE HAVE.
UM, AND THEN CONVERTING THE OLD TENNIS CENTER TO PICKLEBALL.
AND THEN IN A FUTURE PHASE OF BOB DAY, WHICH WILL BE A FUTURE BOND.
UM, THERE'S PICKLEBALL THAT'S THERE.
SO IT'S A PRETTY ROBUST PLAN, I THINK FOR, FOR PICKLEBALL.
UM, IT'S JUST IS GONNA TAKE US A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO GET THERE.
WELL, THEY PLAY, THEY PLAY INDOORS AT, AND THEY DO GRAINGER.
THERE WAS A BUNCH OF GAMES THERE.
'CAUSE I THINK RIGHT NOW FROM THE LOCATIONS, I HEAR THERE'S NOT ANY IN SOUTH GARLAND IN THE PLAN RIGHT NOW THAT YOU KIND OF JUST ROLLED OUT.
UM, I I, I CAN SEND YOU A LIST OF WHERE OF ALL OF OUR, I, I DON'T KNOW THEM ALL OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT WE HAVE, WE HAVE CLOSE TO 10 COURTS THAT ARE TWO COURTS.
LIKE WE HAVE ONE AT BRADFIELD, WE HAVE ONE
[01:05:01]
AT COLUM, WE HAVE ONE.AND I KNOW THERE'S ONE ON THE SOUTH SIDE THAT I'M JUST MISSING RIGHT NOW.
SO I, I CAN SEND YOU A LIST OF WHERE ALL OF THOSE ARE.
THE ONE AT SAM HOUSTON MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT WELL SOME OF, SOME OF THOSE.
THE ONE AT SAM HOUSTON WAS ACTUALLY SCHOOLS AND THOSE HAVE BEEN TURNED BACK OVER TO, TO THE SCHOOL.
COULD YOU SEND ALL OF THIS, THAT INFORMATION THAT YEP.
IT'D BE GOOD TALKING POINTS FOR US.
IN THE TEAMS. SO THERE IS CURRENTLY PICKLEBALL, MULTI-USE PICKLEBALL TENNIS COURTS.
NO, THEY'RE NOT CURRENTLY STRIPED UNLESS THEY'RE BEING STRIPED ON THEIR, THEIR OWN.
BUT WHAT WE ARE IS WE'RE GETTING PRICING OF WHAT IT WOULD DO JUST TO BE ABLE TO REPAINT THEM AND STRIP THEM MM-HMM.
SO THEY COULD BE USED AS MULTI-USE.
UM, THAT WAS THE FIRST QUESTION.
AND THE SECOND, CAN YOU REMIND ME, THE SOUTH EXTENSION DUCK CREEK SOUTH EXTENSION TRAIL, FROM WHAT POINT TO WHAT POINT IS THAT? IS THE EXTENSION NEAR GUTHRIE ROAD? NEAR TOLLER ELEMENTARY? THAT'S INITIALLY, I THINK, I BELIEVE THAT'S WHERE ONE POINT WHERE IT STARTS AND THEN IT GOES, UH, THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION EASEMENT.
UM, BEHIND CEDAR ELM LANE, THERE'S AN ALLEY.
UM, IT KINDA WINDS AND IT GOES UNDERNEATH THE BELTLINE ROAD BRIDGE AND THEN IT CONNECTS TO THE HERITAGE MESQUITE TRAIL.
IT'S ABOUT 7,000 LINEAR FEET, GIVE OR TAKE.
BUT, UM, SOMETHING THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, I COULD ALWAYS, I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE SOME OF THESE UPDATES COULD, LIKE A GRAPHIC COULD REALLY GO WELL WITH THESE SOMETIMES LIKE A SITE PLAN OR SOMETHING.
WE, YOU KNOW, WE, IT COULD CERTAINLY BE IN COLOR
I THINK WHAT YOU SAID IS GOOD.
'CAUSE SOME OF THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN ON HERE FOR A WHILE, SO SOMETIMES LIKE I FORGOT ABOUT THAT.
NOT FORGOT ABOUT THE PROJECT, BUT IT'S JUST BEEN A WHILE OF LIKE REMEMBERING WHAT THAT PRESENTATION LOOKED LIKE WHEN WE WERE GIVEN THE DESIGN MONTHS AGO.
THE, UH, PARKS DEPARTMENT WAS GIVEN A HUGE CHUNK OF THE CHEESE OUT OF THAT, UH MM-HMM.
AND ALL THESE GUYS HAVE AND GALS, NO, EXCEPT FOR THE GUYS.
THE GUYS HAVE HANDLED IT FAIRLY WELL.
THEY'RE NOT AGING TOO MUCH, UH, IN TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH ALL OF THIS.
UH, BUT IT WAS AN AMAZING THING TO GET THE DOLLARS.
AND WITH THAT, THE, THE BOND STUDY COMMITTEES WORKING FOR THE NEXT BOND ELECTION.
UH, ARE YOU GUYS BEING INVOLVED IN GETTING TO PRESENT, UH, YOUR WISHES, WANTS, NEEDS, UH, TO THE BOND COMMITTEE? UH, SO WE HAVEN'T BEEN ASKED ON THAT YET.
THEY'VE, THEY MEET EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT.
UM, AND IF YOU'VE WATCHED THOSE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE PUBLIC.
UM, BUT AGAIN, REMEMBER THIS IS A ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOND.
UM, AND THEY ARE MAKING THEIR DECISIONS.
NICE THING IS, IS THE REPRESENTATIVE, STAFF REPRESENTATIVE FOR, UM, THAT BOND COMMITTEE IS ANDY HESSER.
SO, UM, CAN WE COUNT ON HIM FOR
HE'S ALWAYS A PROPONENT FOR PARKS.
AND, AND, AND ACTUALLY, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, IS THE BOND COMMITTEE TELEVISED? ARE THEY TELEVISED? I DON'T THINK IT IS.
I DON'T THINK THEY'RE TELEVISED.
THE GOLDIE, I KNOW THAT THEY'RE RECORDED, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE TELEVISED.
YEAH, THEY'RE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, DOWN THE BASEMENT, GOING TO THE RIGHT DOOR, RIGHT THERE DOWN THE ELEVATOR AND GET TO 'EM.
I I'M GONNA GET TO MAKE THAT ONE TOMORROW.
I HAVEN'T MADE THE FIRST TWO MM-HMM.
BUT SO FAR Y'ALL HAVEN'T BEEN ASKED TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT AT ALL? NO, SIR.
AND IT'S STILL, IT'S STILL FAIRLY EARLY IN THE PROCESS, I PRESUME.
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SEE IS WHERE THEY WERE YES, SIR.
AND, UM, UH, UH, WINDSURF WINDSURF BAY, THE, THE, OUR PROBLEM CHILD, UH, OUR, OUR PROBLEM CHILD THERE ALONG THE SHORELINE, WE HAD TO CLOSE DOWN SURF AND SWIM.
OFF WIND BAY, WIND WINDER BAY.
WINDSURF BAY DOESN'T HAVE ANY CIP MONEY TO IT HAS NO, NO MONEY TO IT YET.
AND WE UNDERSTAND 'CAUSE WE HAD THE POTENTIAL OF WHERE THE FREEWAY'S GONNA CROSS THERE.
AND IT'S A SAD, BECAUSE THAT'S THE BEST PLACE THE CITY OF GARLAND HAS FOR, FOR FOLKS.
I MEAN, UH, IT'S, UH, I SAW MY NOTES I HAD TO SEND OUT ONE TIME THAT WENT OUT THERE JUST BEFORE, IN FACT, JUST BEFORE IT WAS CLOSED, THE DAY BEFORE IT WAS CLOSED.
AND I THOUGHT, WELL, I'LL GO OUT AND SEE ON A THURSDAY NIGHT.
AND WE HAD A PARK BOARD MEETING ON WEDNESDAY.
I WENT OUT THERE ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND I'M EXPECTING TO FIND EIGHT OR 10 CARS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT WASN'T USUAL, MAYBE 15.
AND THE ROAD BACK, THERE'S THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE AS YOU GO IN, IT'S ONE TWO LANE ROAD.
AND FOR THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE, IT WAS SOLID
[01:10:01]
CARS.PEOPLE WERE DRIVING AROUND TRYING TO FIND A PARKING PLACE ON A THURSDAY NIGHT DURING THE SUMMER WHEN THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE EXCEPT THAT, THAT ONE PLACE TO USE.
AND IT, IT WAS JUST REALLY CREATING A LOT OF PROBLEMS, WHICH WE GOT TO TRY AND SOLVE SOMEHOW AS IT, UH, I MEAN, IT'S THIS VERY SOFT SLOPE, UH, OUT INTO THE LAKE.
AND, AND I MEAN, I I, I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WERE OUT THERE USING THAT THING.
AND IT WAS CLOSED DOWN THE NEXT DAY.
AND THEN OF COURSE IT LIT UP ON OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR THING,
AND THAT'S WHERE I HAD TO RESPOND TO SOME OF THEM ANYWAY.
THE, UM, SO, SO IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A ALL KINDS OF TABLES AND THINGS, BUT THERE'S ONE TABLE THAT LISTED ALL OF THE AMENITIES IN EACH OF THE PARKS.
AND, UH, SO AS WE GO THROUGH AND WE'RE ADDING AMENITIES TO LOTS OF PARKS AND THINGS, IS AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE, COULD WE UPDATE THAT TABLE AND, YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO SEE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, WHERE WHERE WE STAND? CERTAINLY.
AND, UH, WE'RE DOING THAT WITH OUR NEW WEBSITE, UM, GARLAND PARKS.COM.
WE'VE GONE THROUGH ALL THE PARKS, UH, PLAYGROUNDS, TRAILS SEPARATELY.
YOU KNOW, WE COULD, UH, WE COULD PROVIDE THAT BECAUSE HONESTLY THAT'S WHERE, UH, THAT'S HOW WE, THAT'S HOW WE BEGAN OUR ORGANIZATION.
WE STARTED FROM A CHART AND THEN WE BROKE IT OUT INTO A WEBSITE.
SO WE CAN PROVIDE THAT FOR YOU SO THAT THAT COULD, THAT INFORMATION COULD BE PUT IN A TIMELY MANNER.
UH, AS WE'RE, AS WE'RE GETTING THIS ONE FINISHED, THE, ANOTHER ONE FINISHED, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? OH, YES.
UH, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF PARKS THAT HAVE, UH, NEW AMENITIES OR WE'VE TAKEN OUT CERTAIN THINGS AND ADDED NEW THINGS WE WANNA SHOWCASE.
SO, UM, WE HAVE A ONGOING LIST WHERE WE KEEP IT, UH, HANDY.
SO SPEAKING OF PARKS WITH NEW AMENITIES, DORFMAN PARK BENCH RIBBON CUTTING THAT JUST HAPPENED, UH, SATURDAY, AUGUST THE 17TH.
UM, WE WERE OUTTA TOWN THAT WEEKEND.
MOLLY, MOLLY ATTENDED, I THINK.
AND DID ANYBODY ANYBODY ELSE ATTEND TO TALK ABOUT DAVID? I ATTENDED DAVID.
I THINK OUR CHAIR,
THERE'S PROBABLY 10 OR 12 PEOPLE THERE.
UM, A MAJORITY OF THE PARKS FOUNDATION WAS THERE AND, UH, WE DEDICATED A NEW BENCH AND FIVE NEW TREES AND PUT A NICE LITTLE PLAQUE UP.
AND, UH, IT WAS A, IT WAS A HOT BUT, UH, VERY NICE EVENT.
SO IT, IT TURNED OUT TO BE SOMETHING WORTHWHILE THAT WHAT THEY'VE ACCOMPLISHED OUT OF THEIR FIRST YES.
GUESS THEIR FIRST, THEIR FIRST THEIR FIRST DONATION.
I WAS, I REALLY WANTED TO BE THERE, BUT WE WERE ALREADY COMMITTED.
UH, DORFMAN PARK IS ON SOUTH SIDE OF, UH, OFF OF BANIAN.
THE ONE THAT HAD THE LION PLAYGROUND.
I, OR JUST LITTLE PARK, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK IT KIND OF POINTS OUT AN IMPORTANT THING, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS ON TOPIC, BUT THE IMPORTANCE OF NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND GROUPS.
BECAUSE THAT NEW WORLD CRIME WATCH OR WHATEVER IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION THERE.
AND THERE WAS A BUNCH OF THEM, THOSE FOLKS THERE, YOU KNOW, AND THEY'VE BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN, YOU KNOW, AND THEY GOT TWO OR THREE PARKS IN THEIR ZONE THERE.
AND YOU KNOW, THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON NEIGHBORHOOD VITALITY GRANTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO SPIFF UP THE PARKS.
AND SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, JUST HAVING AN ACTIVE NEIGHBORHOOD GROUP MAKES A LOT OF DIFFERENCE IN LOT OF DIFFERENCE.
UM, YOU'RE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT USAGE OF THESE THINGS.
YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE DALLAS LAND USE, UH, PROGRAM THAT'S GOING ON.
WHAT, WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE? SO DALLAS COUNTY, WHAT DO WE, WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW THAT MIGHT HELP US? SO DALLAS COUNTY OPEN SPACES, UM, WAS CREATED IN THE EIGHTIES, SEVENTIES, EIGHTIES.
AND TO BASICALLY KIND OF PRESERVE PROPERTIES AROUND THE COUNTY THAT WERE, UH, I THINK, YOU KNOW, AND THEIR ORIGINAL STRATEGIC PLAN WAS JUST TO BUY LAND.
BUT, UH, IT'S BEEN LIKE 20 YEARS OR MORE SINCE THEY HAVE A A PLAN.
IT'S LIKE ALMOST 400 PAGES LONG.
AND, UM, ANYWAY, SPRING CREEK, UH, FOREST PRESERVE IS IN THERE.

AND, UH, SO ANYWAY, BUT THE CO COUNTY, IT WAS PRESENTED TO THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER STAFF ON TUESDAY AND THEY APPROVED IT.
SO NOW YOU KNOW THAT LITTLE TWO PERSON OFFICE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND DO SOMETHING.
SOMETHING WE CAN BE WATCHING TO SEE IF THERE'S A PIECE THAT COMES OUTTA THERE.
THERE MUST BE SEVERAL OF THESE THAT ARE IN DALLAS PARKS.
'CAUSE THEY'RE A MANAGING PARTNER TOO.
THAT, UH, WE NEVER KNOW WHERE A LOT, A LOT OF 'EM ARE RIGHT ALONG THE TRINITY RIVER.
SO, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE DUCK CREEK, HUH?
WE'VE KIND OF HAD A LITTLE, WE LITTLE FUN HERE, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF Y'ALL HAVE SEEN WHAT'S OUT THERE IN THE, IN THE LOBBY.
UH, IT WAS A THING THAT THE, THE LANDMARK SOCIETY DID ABOUT, UH, MEMENTOS.
IT'S ABOUT THE HISTORY OF MOMS AND HOW THEY'VE, HOW THEY'VE GROWN.
AND IT'S, IT'S ALSO A HISTORY OF THE SCHOOLS IN GARLAND, UH, GOING BACK IN, BACK INTO THE FORTIES.
AND, UH, IT'S A, IT'S A FAIRLY INTERESTING LITTLE THING TO TAKE A MINUTE TO WALK THROUGH WHILE YOU'RE, WHILE YOU'RE HERE.
HAD A GREAT GRAND OPENING ON THE THING.
THE PLACE WAS FULL AND I, AND SURPRISED ME, UH, THROUGH THE LANDMARK SOCIETY THAT I KNEW THIS WAS KIND OF HAPPENING, BUT THEY, THEY CERTAINLY OUTSHINED ANYTHING THAT I'D EVER THOUGHT THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH.
AND STILL THERE, IT'LL BE THERE UNTIL OCTOBER THE 12TH.
