[00:00:07]
ALRIGHT, EVERYBODY, WELCOME TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD FOR MAY 6TH.
WE ARE GONNA GO TO GET THIS THING KICKED OFF.
UH, FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS, WE NEED TO DO THE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES.
UM, DO WE HAVE A MOTION FOR THOSE? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS PRESENTED.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. PARISH AND THEN MS. ODOM FOR, UH, SECOND.
CAN WE GO AHEAD AND GET A VOTE? I'LL OPPOSE OR I'LL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
UM, UH, WE DO HAVE ONE, BUT DID YOU WANNA SPEAK NOW OR DID YOU WANNA WAIT UNTIL THE SPRING CREEK UPDATE? MS. MARK, EITHER WAIT.
WE CAN GO AHEAD THEN AND GO ON.
AND THEN NEXT UP, WE DO HAVE THE GARLAND PARKS FOUNDATION UPDATE.
WE DO HAVE QUITE A FEW MEMBERS HERE FOR IT WHO WILL LIKELY GIVE THE UPDATE INSTEAD.
WELL, GOOD EVENING PARK SPORT.
IT'S VERY GOOD TO SEE EVERYBODY AND IT'S POWER.
I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE GARLAND PARKS FOUNDATION.
I'M, UH, CHIEF COOK AND BOTTLE WASHER
WE ALSO HAVE SOME OTHER BOARD MEMBERS HERE THAT SERVE ON THE PARKS BOARD.
JASON AGUIRE AND NANCY JANSSEN.
SO THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT.
WE WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SURF AND SWIM EVENT THAT WE'RE HAVING ON MAY 16TH.
IT IS FROM NOON TO 4:00 PM IT IS A SNEAK PEAK EXCLUSIVE EVENT PRIOR TO THE OFFICIAL OPENING OF SURF AND SWIM AQUATIC CENTER, WHICH WAS A 2019 BOND PROGRAM PROJECT.
WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS.
UM, OUR GOAL FOR THE, WITH THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS EVENT IS TO SEND KIDS TO THE STARS CAMP, WHICH IS A GARLAND SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM.
UM, HOPEFULLY OUR GOAL IS 25 KIDS.
WE'RE HOPEFULLY GOING TO EXCEED THAT.
SO, SO FAR I BELIEVE WE'VE SOLD AROUND 250 TICKETS.
WE'RE ALSO HAVING A RAFFLE DURING THE EVENT WHERE IT'S, IT'S CALLED A DUCK PULL.
WE'RE SELLING TICKETS FOR, UM, LITTLE RUBBER DUCKS AND THERE WILL BE A NUMBER ON THE BOTTOM OF THAT.
AT, UH, THROUGHOUT THE EVENT, WE WILL HAVE KIDS GO AND PULL A DUCK AND THEN WE'LL GIVE A PRIZE FOR WHOMEVER HAS THE NUMBER THAT'S ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DUCK.
SO THAT SHOULD BE A REALLY FUN, UH, PART OF THE EVENT.
UM, WE WILL ALSO HAVE A DJ AND THE CONCESSION STAND WILL BE OPEN, UM, AND THE, ALL OF THOSE PROCEEDS GO TOWARDS THE EVENT AS WELL.
UM, I'D LIKE TO PASS THINGS ON TO YOU IF YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT, UM, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EVENT ITSELF? NO.
I'M GONNA PASS IT OVER TO KENYA.
UM, WE'RE WORKING ON SOME OTHER THINGS, UM, ASIDE FROM THIS EVENT, WHICH IS TAKING UP A LOT OF TIME.
UM, AND, UH, WE'RE WORKING ON SOME BENCHES, SO GO AHEAD.
SO WAS TAKING BY SURPRISE, BUT FIRST I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE BACK HERE.
I'VE NEVER BEEN SITTING ON THIS SIDE,
UM, SO ABOUT THE EVENT, UH, WE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SEE, I'M GONNA TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF ADVANTAGE OF ALL OF YOU AND SEE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE SOME PRICES FOR OUR DUCK.
AND WE WILL APPRECIATE IT IF YOU CAN DONATE SOMETHING.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SUPER EXPENSIVE.
CAN BE A GIFT CARD OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DONATE FOR THAT RAFFLE.
AND THE OTHER EXCITING THING IS, UM, FOR, WE ARE WORKING ON, ON A PROJECT FOR A BENCH, UH, THAT IS GONNA BE FOR THE ODUM PARK.
UH, THE, UH, BROTHER OF MR. MR. ODIN IS DONATING A BADGE TO PUT THAT IN, IN HONOR OF HIM.
AND, UM, IT'S, IT'S IN PROGRESS.
I THINK WE'RE PLANNING TO DO THIS EVENT AT THE END OF MAY OR SO.
WE'LL JUST NEED TO GET CONFIRMATION ON HOW QUICKLY WE CAN GET THE BENCH NOW THAT WE KNOW WHICH OPTION YOU'RE GOING WITH ABOUT THE HOLY EVENT.
[00:05:01]
MM-HMMSO, UM, UM, WELL, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE A BEAUTIFUL EVENT BECAUSE ALSO THE CITY IS PUTTING A PLA A PLAQUE, THE INTERPRETIVE SIGN INTERPRETIVE.
WELL, THAT, THAT, UH, WILL EXPLAIN ALL ABOUT.
SO THIS IS ANOTHER VERY EXCITING EVENT FOR THE FOUNDATION.
WE, WE STARTED VERY SLOW, BUT NOW WE'RE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND SUPPORT.
IT'S, IT HAS BEEN, UH, A LONG WAY, BUT WE'RE GETTING THERE.
THERE'S BEEN A SURPRISING NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE INQUIRED ABOUT BENCHES AND, AND, UH, AND SOME OF THE PROGRAMS THAT, THAT THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN, UH, UNDERTAKING.
PART OF IT HAS BEEN A, UH, ADDING A BIT OF A, UH, A, UH, OH, A CLARIFICATION OF THE PURPOSE, UH, WHICH WAS THE, UH, WHICH WAS THAT WE WORKED WITH.
IT'S TREES, TRAILS, TRASH, AND TRIBUTES.
AND, UH, SO WE'RE, UH, WE'RE GETTING DOWN TO THOSE, UH, YOU KNOW, LAUNCHING THE INITIATIVE OF BEING ABLE TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ON EACH ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF EXCITING THINGS THAT THE FOUNDATION IS DOING.
WHAT KIND OF THINGS WOULD YOU LIKE DONATED BESIDES GIFT CARDS? ANYTHING ELSE? OH, ANYTHING.
EXPERIENCES? ANY, ANYTHING THAT YOU THINK.
UM, A FAMILY, IT'S A FAMILY EVENT THAT'S THE TYPICAL, UH, PARTICIPANT THAT WE'LL HAVE AT THE EVENT.
UM, ANYTHING KIDS WILL, LIKE, ANYTHING ADULTS MIGHT LIKE AWAY FROM THE KIDS.
UM,
UH, WE'VE HAD, UM, YOU KNOW, GIFT GIFT CARDS FOR RESTAURANT, FOR RESTAURANTS OF COURSE.
AND, AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE SO FAR.
AND, UM, AND WE'VE, ADDITIONAL TO THAT, I KNOW MAYBE SOME, SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP TO, UH, ACTIVATE THE IMAGINATION OF KIDS.
SOMETHING EDUCATIONAL PERHAPS FOR KIDS.
UM, THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION, BUT WE'LL PICK WHATEVER WE CAN GET PRETTY MUCH IS THE YEAH, IT CAN, IT CAN BE LIKE THINGS FOR GOING THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER, YOU KNOW, A PACKAGE WITH FLOATIES AND THINGS, GOOGLE SMALL, SMALL SPORTS, UH, ITEMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO HAVE LIKE A SWIM LESSON OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? LIKE, ACTUALLY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN VERY, THEY'VE BEEN VERY GRACIOUS AND THEY HAVE DONATED, UM, SO SOME CABANA RENTALS.
UH, PARK PASSES, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO, UM, WE'VE, WE'VE GOTTEN SOME THAT'S PRETTY WELL COVERED.
WE HAVE SOME REALLY AMAZING PRIZES TO GIVE OUT.
AND IF YOU CAN'T GIVE ANYTHING, THAT'S TOTALLY FINE.
UM, PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT, PLEASE.
YOU KNOW, THE MORE PEOPLE WE GET SPREAD THE WORD AT THIS EVENT, THE MORE KIDS WE CAN SEND TO STARS CAMP.
AND THAT'S REALLY THE MAIN GOAL.
WELL, THE OTHER GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT STAFF IS TRAINED BEFORE THE MAIN EVENT.
DRY RUN WE GIVE THEM, WELL, WE GIVE THEM DROP A CHANCE TO EXPAND
AND BEFORE THEY HAVE 800 PEOPLE BOMBARD THEM ON MEMORIAL WEEKEND.
SO WHAT'S YOUR GOAL FOR TICKET SALES? WELL, WELL OUR, OUR MAX IS 800.
UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WE'RE, OH YEAH, WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S POSSIBLE.
THAT IS, THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC IF WE COULD GET TO 800.
BECAUSE THE PARK CAN HAVE 800 PEOPLE.
HOWEVER, I DON'T, WE DON'T WANT THAT MANY WHEN WE'RE COMING.
SO I, I RAN HOME AND GAVE THAT A TRY AND IT WORKED.
BUT STILL, STILL PLENTY, RIGHT? THERE WAS STILL PLENTY.
WE'VE BEEN ADDING MORE TICKETS.
AND WE, WE DID QUITE HONESTLY, WE WEREN'T EXPECTING TO BE THIS SUCCESSFUL, BUT THE PARK IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND I THINK THE HEALTH GARDEN IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
SO THIS, IT'S A WONDERFUL PARK.
THERE, THERE IS ONE OTHER THING I SLIPPED IN MY MIND, BUT ONE OTHER ASSET WE WOULD HAVE IS IF, IF YOU WOULD BE GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO PUT ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIAS THE, UH, THIS PARTICULAR EVENT, BECAUSE THAT HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL TO BE ABLE TO, UH, TO DRIVE THE INTEREST.
AND I ALSO WANNA MENTION THAT WE'RE HAVING A NONPROFIT FAIR
[00:10:01]
AT THE PARK DURING THAT'S A GOOD POINT.SO WE HAVE KEEP GARLAND BEAUTIFUL, THE SPRING CREEK PRESERVE BOY SCOUTS, UM, GOOD SAMARITANS OF GARLAND.
SO WE HAVE QUITE A FEW, UH, NONPROFITS THAT WILL BE REPRESENTED THERE AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO HAVE THEM AS PARTICIPANTS IN IT.
LET'S WAIT TO SUPPORT YOUR QUESTION ANSWERED.
I, I HAD A, A STATEMENT THAT, BUT YOU GOT TAKEN CARE OF.
MY QUESTION IS A LITTLE BIT OFF SUBJECT, BUT WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR THE PARKS FOUNDATION TO SOMEHOW GET INVOLVED WITH THE FOSTER CHILDREN IN THE CITY OF GARLAND AND PERHAPS OFFER MEMBERSHIPS? SO THAT'S A FOUNDATION.
UM, I MEAN, WE COULD ALWAYS TRY TO, BUT WITHIN OUR BYLAWS WE DO HAVE TO, UM, OUR FOCUS IS ON PARKS, GARLAND PARKS.
SO, UM, IF, IF THAT WERE A, AN ARM OF THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, WE COULD ABSOLUTELY GET INVOLVED IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
LAST THING WOULD BE, PRAY FOR NICE WEATHER.
AND THAT'S THE OTHER COMPONENT TO THIS.
UM, THIS WAS ABOUT BACK TO RICK ODEN.
UM, IN TERMS OF THE GETTING IN THE, GETTING THE WORD OUT DEPARTMENT, WHEN IT COMES TIME TO, UM, HAVE OUR LAUNCH KICKOFF OR WHATEVER, UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT ANYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM IS OF THE ADVANCED STAGE TO HAVE BEEN HERE WHEN THAT, UM, DREADFUL INCIDENT OCCURRED.
AND, UH, RICK DEN PERISHED, LIBBY, YOU WERE PROBABLY A BABY IN ARMS AT THAT TIME.
YOU WERE PROBABLY IN GARLAND, BUT AT ANY RATE, UM, MY ERA OF PERSON, THE BABY BOOMERS, UM, YOU, YOU MENTIONED THAT ON, ON, UH, AT SOME PLACE ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THAT WILL KEEP, KEEP OUR ERA PEOPLE GOING FOR DAYS.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, JUST THAT AND HONEYDEW ICE CREAM AT SABINE VALLEY, THOSE ARE THE TWO THINGS THAT PEOPLE WOULD JUST GO ON AND ON, YOU KNOW, TWO DAYS LATER PEOPLE WERE STILL, YOU KNOW, BEING LIKE, AND ADDING COMMENTS ON.
SO THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST AND REMEMBRANCE ABOUT THE RICK ODIN, UM, TRAGEDY IN THAT SITUATION.
WE'RE TRULY HONORED TO BE ABLE TO TRIBUTE, UM, RICKY ODIN, UM, THAT, THAT IS SO WONDERFUL.
AND I, I JUST HOPE THAT THE, THE WORD DOES DOES GET OUT.
I CERTAINLY INTEND TO DO MY PART BECAUSE THERE ARE, THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT REALLY TOUCHED, WOULD REALLY BE TOUCHED BY YEAH.
THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO KNOW SO HE CAN PLAN.
THAT IS ANY MORE QUESTIONS? CAN I JUST ADD, UH, SO PARKS DEPARTMENT, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE FOUNDATION AND SO THEY'VE ACTUALLY STANDARDIZED THEIR BENCHES.
UM, SO THAT, THE IDEA IS THAT WHEN YOU GO INTO A PARK, YOU'LL REALIZE, OH, THIS WAS A PARK FOUNDATION BENCH.
AND SO IT SETS OUT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
IT'LL HAVE SOME INFORMATION ON THERE.
SO ANYWAY, I THINK THAT'S REALLY COOL.
SO THEY CAN START BRANDING AND LABELING THEMSELVES.
GOODNIGHT ON VACATION TUESDAY.
NEXT UP WE ARE GONNA GO AHEAD, WE'RE GONNA GO TO THE SPRING CREEK FOREST PRESERVE UPDATE, SWITCHING THE ORDER.
AND WE ARE GOING TO, WE'RE JUST GONNA BE SWITCHING THE ORDER, SO ITEM B WILL GO NEXT AFTER C.
UM, I'LL JUST INTRO AS THEY GET GOING.
SO WE HAVE, UM, GUESTS FROM, UH, OUR WATER UTILITIES DEPARTMENT AND THEN KIMLEY HORNE.
AND THEY ARE GONNA GIVE YOU ALL AN UPDATE ON THE SPRING CREEK FOREST ASSESSMENT AND WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.
UM, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS, UH, THAT HAVE GONE ON.
SO FOR SOME OF YOU THAT HAVE ATTENDED THOSE, THIS WILL BE, UM, SOME DUPLICATE INFORMATION, MAYBE A FEW SMALL MINOR UPDATES.
UM, BUT WITH THAT, I'M GONNA LET THEM INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AND WE'LL GET STARTED.
UM, MY NAME'S CHRISTINA HICKEY.
I WORK IN THE CITY OF GARLAND WATER DEPARTMENT, SO I'M JUST ONE OF MANY THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS.
UM, WE ARE KIND OF THE FINAL
UM, WE PRESENTED TO THE STAKEHOLDERS LAST MONTH, UM, AND THEN WE'RE STILL IN THE ASSESSMENT OF THE SEWER, AND THAT'S ONGOING AND RIGHT NOW, SO I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO KIMLEY HORN.
THEY'VE BEEN THE CONSULTANT THAT'S BEEN HIRED TO LOOK AT THE FOREST IMPACT, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FOREST, AND GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS, HOW TO MOVE FORWARD, AND ALSO TO LOOK AT THE SEWER AND TO
[00:15:01]
GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO THE SEWER AND WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OPTIONS.AND WE'RE KIND OF IN DIFFERENT STAGES IN THOSE DIFFERENT BULLET ITEMS. SO WITH THAT, I'LL START OVER.
I LEAD OUR, UH, DFW AREA ENVIRONMENTAL TEAM, UM, AND HAVE GOTTEN INVOLVED IN LEADING THE, UH, FOREST TO IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPING RECOMMENDATIONS MOVING FORWARD TO ADDRESS THE IMPACTS FROM THE, FROM THE OVERALL PROJECT I HAVE, UM, BRENDAN PACKENHAM WITH, WITH ME AS WELL.
AND BRENDAN, YOU WANNA? YEAH, SO I'M BRENDAN PACKENHAM.
I AM ON OUR DALLAS KIMLEY OWENS DALLAS WATER AND WASTEWATER TEAM.
PRIMARILY FOR OUR, OUR MAIN FOCUS IS WATER AND WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN.
SO I'LL BE, UH, SUPPORTING CARLAND AND, AND CHRISTINA ON, UH, THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SEWER, UM, IN THE PRESERVE THROUGH SPRING CREEK SHOWING UP.
UM, SO, UM, WE'LL GO THROUGH THESE, UH, SLIDES, HAVE A PRESENTATION PREPARED, BUT HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN AND, AND ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS ALONG THE WAY.
AND, UM, LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN'T HEAR ME AT, AT ANY POINT AS WELL.
UH, SO A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THINGS WE'RE GONNA COVER DURING THIS PRESENTATION.
UM, BRENDAN'S GONNA START AND GIVE JUST AN UPDATE ON THE PIPELINE INSPECTION, UM, PROJECT, THE OVERALL, UM, THE OVERALL SEWER PROJECT.
UM, WE'LL JUMP INTO AN UPDATE AS TO WHERE WE ARE WITH THE FOREST TRACT ANALYSIS.
UM, TALK ABOUT, UM, AND PRESENT, UH, DISCUSS THE DIFFERENT CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP THROUGHOUT OUR INVOLVEMENT WITH THE PROCESS WITH ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS, AND ALSO DISCUSS, UM, SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE HAVE DEVELOPED, UM, WITH INPUT FROM THE STAKEHOLDERS TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS.
UM, YOU ALSO HAVE A COUPLE HANDOUTS.
UM, SOME OF THOSE ARE JUST SOME MAPS FOR REFERENCE.
UM, THEY'RE ALSO IN THIS PRESENTATION THAT WE WILL TOUCH ON TOWARDS THE, TOWARDS THE END.
AND THEN THE OTHER IS, UH, UM, RECOMMENDATIONS MATRIX THAT IS ALSO THAT WE WILL, WE WILL TOUCH ON, BUT IT'S KIND OF A CATCHALL SUMMARY OF, OF THE DIFFERENT CONCERNS AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE'VE WORKED TO DEVELOP TO ADDRESS THESE.
SO I CAN GIVE AN UPDATE ON THE, UH, PIPELINE INSPECTION STATUS THAT IS BEING PERFORMED BY ACE PIPE CLEANING A SUB-CONSULTANT THAT FOCUSES ON, UH, UH, CCTV AND MULTI-SENSOR INSPECTION OF PIPE.
SO THEY'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH THE PRESERVE AND VARIOUS, UH, AREAS AROUND WINTERS PARK TO INSPECT LATERALS AND THE MAIN LINE THAT IS WITHIN THE CREEK, UM, DUE TO SOME ON ONGOING, UH, WEATHER AND ACCESS ISSUES TO SPECIFIC MANHOLES, UH, WE RUN INTO, WE'VE BEEN RUNNING AN ISSUE WHERE THE MANHOLES ARE ESSENTIALLY STUCK SHUT, SO THEY'RE REQUIRING ADDITIONAL COORDINATION WITH THE WATER DEPARTMENT TO GET THOSE OPENED UP SO WE CAN, UH, PUT A CAMERA IN THERE AND INSPECT THE PIPE.
SO IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND, UH, GO ONTO THE NEXT PAGE OR IS THERE A SCHEDULE? OKAY.
SO, UM, CAN WE HORN, AS FAR AS THE WASTEWATER, UH, ROUTING AND REHABILITATION ANALYSIS, WE'RE STILL GATHERING THE DATA FROM OUR, UH, PIPE INSPECTOR AND WE'VE ON THE SIDE HAVE BEEN STARTING TO, UH, EVALUATE ALTERNATIVE ROUTING FOR THE SEWER, UH, TO LOOK AT THE POTENTIAL TO RELOCATE THE, THE SEWER OUTSIDE OF THE CREEK OR OUTSIDE OF THE PRESERVE SO THAT, THAT, UH, THAT EFFORT IS ONGOING AND WE'LL BE PROVIDING A FUTURE, UM, STAKEHOLDER MEETING TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THAT ANALYSIS.
UM, AND THEN I KIND OF, I KNEW A SCHEDULE THAT SOME OF OUR STAKEHOLDERS HAVE ALREADY SEEN.
THERE'LL BE A SLIGHT CHANGE WITH THE INSPECTION FIELD WORK.
IT'S DUE TO THE ACCESS ISSUES AND, UM, THE WEATHER.
WE'RE NOW PROJECTED THAT THE FIELD WORK WILL CONTINUE UNTIL LATE THIS MONTH.
UM, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT IMPACT OUR ABILITY FOR A STAKEHOLDER MEETING IN JULY.
AND, UH, TAP BOARD MEETING, COUNTY TAP BOARD MEETING IN AUGUST IN THE SUBSEQUENT MEETING IN OCTOBER.
SO OVERALL GRAND SCHEME OF THE PROJECT, WE THINK WE'RE STILL ON TRACK FOR THE GRAND SCHEME.
OKAY, I'LL GO AHEAD AND JUMP INTO, UM, THE, THE MEAT OF THE UPDATE FOR, FOR WHERE WE ARE WITH THE IMPACT ANALYSIS.
UM, AS I MENTIONED, UM, WHEN I STARTED, THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE CONCERNS THAT
[00:20:01]
HAVE BEEN RAISED AT PREVIOUS MEETINGS AND VIA COMMUNICATION DIRECTLY WITH THE, UM, WITH THE WATER AND THE PARKS DEPARTMENT WITH THE CITY.UM, THOSE CONCERNS HAVE BEEN HEARD AND, UM, WE'VE BEEN COLLABORATING AND ARE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING THOSE CONCERNS.
UM, THE, THE FIRST STEP THAT WE, THE FIRST THING THAT WE WENT BACK TO DO, UM, AFTER SOME INITIAL DISCUSSION AND INITIAL STAKEHOLDER UM, MEETING WAS TO, UM, GO BACK AND QUANTIFY AND MEASURE THE ENTIRE, THE ENTIRETY OF THE DISTURBED AREA WITHIN THE PRESERVE.
UM, AND ALSO THEN ADDRESSING HOW WE'RE GOING TO GO ABOUT REMOVAL OF THE DEBRIS THAT IS, THAT IS WITHIN THE PRESERVE, UM, LOOKING AT PRIMARILY OR FIRSTLY FOCUSING ON TRAIL BLOCKAGES.
SO, UM, TRAILS THAT HAVE, UM, DOWN DEBRIS IN THE WAY AND THEY'RE PREVENTING ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE CURVE.
AND THEN LOOKING AT REMOVING THE DEBRIS PILES THAT HAVE BEEN PILED UP ALONG THE DISTURBED CORRIDOR.
UM, AND THEN RELATED TO THAT, THEN AFTER THAT, LOOKING AT THESE, UH, SOME TRIBUTARY BLOCKAGES THAT, UM, IN PLACE NOW BASED ON, UM, DEBRIS BEING PUSHED AND SOIL BEING PUSHED, UM, THROUGHOUT THE, UH, DISTURBED AREA.
UM, ALSO WHERE EV WE HAVE GONE AND EVALUATED, UM, WHERE SOME EROSION CONTROL MEASURES MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE WITHIN THE DISTURBED AREA.
AND, UM, EVALUATED THE POTENTIAL FOR REVEGETATION, UM, THROUGHOUT THE DISTURBED AREA.
AND, UM, WE WILL DISCUSS SOME, UH, PROPOSED MONITORING FOR SOME LONG-TERM SUCCESS OF THESE, UM, IMPROVEMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
AND WE'LL ALSO DISCUSS, UM, THE PLAN FOR ACCESS TO THAT CLEAR CORRIDOR FOR ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES, UM, FOR THE REMOVAL AND THE EROSION CONTROL INSTALLATION POTENTIAL REVEGETATION IN THE, SO TO ACCURATELY, UH, QUANTIFY THE, THE, THE, THE ENTIRETY OF THE DISTURBED AREA, WE HAVE PERFORMED ADDITIONAL FIELD WORK, UM, THAT NOW WE HAVE CAPTURED AND INCLUDED THE ACTUAL DEBRIS PILES AS PART OF THAT TOTAL DISTURBED AREA MEASUREMENT.
UM, WHERE INITIALLY WE WERE FOCUSING ON THE, ON THE DISTURBED CORRIDOR, BUT WE'VE MADE SURE THAT WE'VE ACCOUNTED FOR THE, THE PILES OF DOWN VEGETATION, UM, ALONG THE CORRIDOR AS WELL TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT TOTAL, TOTAL DISTURBED AREA CALCULATION.
UM, WE HAD OUR SURVEY TEAM GO OUT AND COLLECT DATA SPECIFICALLY FOR THE DEBRIS PILES.
AND THEN OUR ENVIRONMENTAL TEAM WENT OUT AND USED THE GPS TO FILL IN THE GAPS AND VERIFY THAT THE, THE BOUNDARIES OF THE DEBRIS PILES, UM, WERE ACCURATE AND THAT THE CORRIDOR WIDTHS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF THE DISTURB.
UM, SO NOW OUR, BY OUR CALCULATIONS, OUR TOTAL DISTURBED AREA, UM, IS 8.49 ACRES, SO THAT'S 3.79 ACRES OF THE DISTURBED CORRIDOR IN THE PATH.
AND THEN THE DEBRIS PILES, UM, ABOUT 4.7 ACRES OF PILED UP, UH, DOWN VEGETATION.
SO 8.49 DISTURBANCE THAT WE ARE, THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING TO EVALUATE.
AND, UM, AND JUST A NOTE HERE FOR HOW WE ACTUALLY GOT TO THESE CALCULATIONS AND HOW OUR MEASUREMENTS, UM, OCCURRED.
SO FOR THE DISTURBED AREA, UM, THAT REALLY IS THE CLEARED AREAS WHERE THE VEGETATION AND DEBRIS PILES ARE, ARE LOCATED, BUT, BUT IT'S MAINLY WHAT, WHAT WE IDENT WHAT WE DID TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT WE ACCURATELY ACCOUNTED FOR POTENTIALLY ALL OF THE AREA THAT HAD BEEN CLEARED FROM THESE ACTIVITIES, UM, WAS WE MEASURED WITHIN THE CORRIDOR, THE OUTER LIMITS OF WHERE TREES AND SAPLINGS ARE STILL STANDING TODAY.
UM, SO THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT JUST KIND OF GIVES YOU AN EXAMPLE.
UM, WE, WE WOULD THROUGHOUT THE CORRIDOR AND WENT FROM EDGE OF EXISTING TREES AND SAPLINGS TO EDGE OF EXISTING TREES AND SAPLINGS, THE, UM, CLEARING AUDIT REPORT HAD DOCUMENTED THAT THAT PATH, THAT CLEARED PATH RANGED FROM 10 TO 80 FEET IN WIDTH.
UM, WE, BASED ON OUR MEASUREMENTS AND OUR ANALYSIS, I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH OUR OBSERVATIONS AS WELL.
AND THEN THE PHOTO ON THE RIGHT JUST KIND OF SHOWS AN EXAMPLE OF, OF WHAT THAT, OF WHAT A, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE DEBRIS PILES ALONG THE CORRIDOR LOOK LIKE WITH A LINE SHOWN AROUND JUST SHOWING KIND OF THAT, UM, THAT MEASUREMENT THAT WE DID COLLECT WITH, UM, WITH SURVEY GRADE EQUIPMENT AND GPS.
IS THAT, SO JUMPING INTO THE ACTUAL REMEDIATION, THE RECOMMENDATIONS, SO THESE ARE, THESE ARE WHERE THE, WE'RE GONNA GET INTO THE RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON THE CONCERNS THAT WERE, THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED SO FAR.
UM, FIRST AND FOREMOST IS THE REMOVAL OF THE DEBRIS.
[00:25:01]
UM, AND THERE IS A PRIORITY, UM, AS I KIND OF WENT THROUGH AT THE BEGINNING.THE FIRST WOULD BE REMOVING TRAIL BLOCKAGES.
UM, THIS IS A VERY SHORT TERM AND LARGELY MANUAL TO BE ABLE TO RESTORE, UM, CONNECTIVITY AND ACCESS THROUGHOUT THE PRESERVE.
UM, THE SECOND WOULD BE THE REMOVAL OF THE ACTUAL DEBRIS PILES THROUGHOUT THE CORRIDOR.
UM, THIS IS A LONGER PROCESS, UM, BUT WOULD FALL SECOND IN THIS HIERARCHY.
AND THEN THE THIRD ITEM WOULD BE REMOVAL OF THE DEBRIS AND SOIL THAT ARE CAUSING THE TRIBUTARY BLOCKAGES.
AND THIS WILL BE PERFORMED FOLLOWING THE REMOVAL OF THE DEBRIS PILES TO ALLOW FOR THE EQUIPMENT THAT'S NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE DEBRIS PILES TO ACCESS THROUGHOUT THE CORRIDOR.
UM, SO ALL IN ALL, THOSE ARE THE THREE KIND OF CATEGORIES OF THE DEBRIS REMOVAL WITH THE, UM, WITH THE PRIORITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THEM THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED FOR THE ACTUAL ACTIVITIES TO REMOVE THE DEBRIS, UM, THE, THE, THE DEBRIS PILES, WE'VE RECOMMENDED THAT THERE'D BE A COMBINATION OF HAULING AWAY LARGER PIECES OF VEGETATION AND DEBRIS THAT ARE DOWN AND MULCHING AND CHIPPING SMALLER PIECES AND DISPERSING THE MULCH IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA THROUGHOUT THE DISTURBED CORRIDOR.
UM, WE ARE EVALUATING USING A SMALL, USING SMALL HAULING EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS LIKE A MINI SKID STEER, WHICH IS THE IMAGE DOWN, UM, THE, THE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN ORANGE, UM, AS AN EXAMPLE OR A PICKUP TRUCK TO LIMIT FURTHER DISTURBANCE WITHIN THE CORRIDOR.
UH, WE'LL EVALUATE TO MINIMIZE REPEATED TRAFFIC, TO MINIMIZE SOIL COMPACTION.
SO, UM, THAT'S PART OF THE, THIS, THIS, THIS NEXT STEP IS, UM, UNDERSTANDING WHAT MIGHT BE THE BEST USE OF EQUIPMENT TO MINIMIZE FURTHER DISTURBANCE.
WE'RE ALSO EVALUATING LEAVING SOME LARGER LOGS WITHIN THE, UH, PRESERVE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE NATURAL AESTHETIC OF THE, THE FOREST AND TO MINIMIZE ADDITIONAL DISTURBANCE WITH LARGER EQUIPMENT THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED TO HAUL OUT THE LARGER PIECES THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO.
UM, A CHIPPER BEING PULLED BEHIND A MINI SKID STEER OR A PICKUP TRUCK IS LIKELY, UM, IS LIKELY FOR THE CHIPPING AND MULCHING ACTIVITIES.
THERE'S AN EXAMPLE HERE OF A VERMEER BC 1000 OR, OR SIMILAR, BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN YELLOW IS AT THE BOTTOM, UM, EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF CHIPPER THAT THAT WOULD LIKELY BE, BE UTILIZED AND IS AND IS WIDELY AVAILABLE WITH CONTRACTORS.
AND, UM, THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT CAN PROCESS APPRO THE BENEFITS OF FROM REMOVING THE DEBRIS.
AND THIS MATTER WITH THE COMBINATION OF HAULING AND LEAVING SOME LARGER PIECES AND SHIPPING AND MULCHING, UM, ULTIMATELY WILL RESULT IN THE AREA BEING RETURNED TO A MORE NATURAL CONDITION AND AESTHETIC, UM, CONSISTENT WITH, WITH THE, WITH THE SURROUNDING FORESTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
UM, THE MAJORITY OF THE MICRONUTRIENTS WILL REMAIN IN THE FOREST ECOSYSTEM THIS WAY AS WELL, UM, WHICH HAS BEEN A BENEFICIAL TO THE SYSTEM.
UM, THE MULCH DISPERSAL CAN HELP WITH EROSION CONTROL ON EXPOSED SOILS.
SO THERE'S AN ADDED BENEFIT THERE.
UM, AND THE MULCH WILL BE DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE DISTURBED AREA, UM, NO THICKER THAN TWO TO THREE INCHES THOUGH, UM, TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT SUFFOCATING.
UM, THE, UH, SOILS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISTURBED, UH, MANUAL REMOVAL ONLY IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
SO THE USE OF EQUIPMENT IS, IS RECOMMENDED.
THIS MANUAL REMOVAL IS NOT RECOMMENDED BE ONLY BECAUSE OF THE INCREASED FOOT TRAFFIC AND REPEATED PASSES THAT COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN MORE CUMULATIVE GROUND DISTURBANCE.
SO TRYING TO THINK ABOUT, THAT'S PART OF THE EVALUATION, IDENTIFYING WHAT'S THE APPROPRIATE TYPE OF EQUIPMENT TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF OVERALL DISTURBANCE.
THE LARGE DEBRIS PILES WILL BE REMOVED TO ALIGN, UM, WITH THE COMMENTS AND THE CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED.
AND COMPLETE REMOVAL OF THE DEBRIS OF THE DEBRIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO AGAIN, ALLOW FOR THOSE MACRONUTRIENTS TO REMAIN IN THE FOREST.
NOW MOVING ON TO THE, UH, NEXT CONCERN IS EROSION CONTROL.
UM, EROSION CONTROL MEASURES ARE RECOMMENDED IN AREAS WHERE THERE ARE TRIBUTARY CROSSINGS WITHIN THE DISTURBED CORRIDOR AND WHERE THERE ARE STEEP EXPOSED SLOPES AND OR HEAVIER DISTURBANCE WITH MINIMAL VEGETATION REGENERATION.
CURRENTLY, HERE ARE A COUPLE OF, UM, PHOTOS, IF Y'ALL HAVE BEEN TO THE AREA, UM, WHERE WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THROUGH OUR OBSERVATIONS AS WELL AND OUR RECOMMENDATIONS, JUST FOR EXAMPLE.
AND, UM, HERE'S JUST A MAP SHOWING WHERE THOSE LOCATION GOES NEAR NORTH GARLAND.
[00:30:03]
YOU, FOR THE SPECIFICS OF THE EROSION CONTROL MEASURES THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING, UM, WE'RE RECOMMENDING EROSION CONTROL MAT ESSENTIALLY WHERE IS, UH, WHERE SHOWN AS THAT ORANGE LINE ON THE MAPS THAT ARE IN FRONT OF YOU.AND WE WILL, UM, THE BENEFITS TO THE EROSION CONTROL MAT IS THAT IT ESTABLISHES AND REINFORCES BOTH IT'S A MORE NATURAL SOLUTION AND CAN BE, UM, OR WITH VERY LIGHT EQUIPMENT.
SO DISTURBANCE IS MINIMAL FOR THE ACTUAL INSTALLATION OF THESE MEASURES.
UM, HARD EROSION CONTROLS SUCH AS ROCK RIP WRAP AND GABON MATTRESSES ARE NOT RECOMMENDED AT THIS TIME.
UM, AND FURTHERMORE IN OUR ANALYSIS DON'T APPEAR TO BE NECESSARY.
UM, THE DRAWBACKS TO THOSE TYPES OF EROSION CONTROL MEASURES IS THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY CAUSE MORE DISTURBANCE BASED ON THE NATURE OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESSES THAT ARE REQUIRED AND THE NATURE OF THE MATERIALS THEMSELVES.
AND FURTHERMORE, IF, IF EXPOSED, UM, SLOPES WERE TREATED WITH THESE HARD EROSION CONTROL MEASURES, UM, IT WOULD LOOK MUCH LESS NATURAL THAN IT WILL WITH AN EROSION.
UH, REVEGETATION IS THE NEXT CONCERN THAT WE WANTED TO ADDRESS WITH SOME RECOMMENDATIONS, UM, THROUGH OUR OBSERVATIONS AND OUR VISITS, SITE VISITS OVER TIME.
UM, WE'RE OBSERVING THAT VEGETATION IS REGENERATING NATURALLY WITHIN THE MAJORITY OF THE CORRIDOR.
UM, THIS IS JUST AN IMAGE FROM PROBABLY ABOUT FIVE OR SIX WEEKS AGO.
UM, SO THERE, THERE IS RE REGENERATION OCCURRING, UM, AND KIMLEY HORN AND THE CITY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO EVALUATE MANUAL REVEGETATION FURTHER FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF THE, OF THE OVERALL PROJECT AND THE SEWER EVALUATION, THE SEWER INSPECTION ACTIVITIES, AND TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHERE, WHERE IS ACCESS GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE ON WITH THAT PROJECT.
UM, SO IT'S, IT IS SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA BE CONTINUED TO BE EVALUATED AND IS A WORK AND IS ONGOING ITEM.
UM, TREE PLANTING IS NOT INITIALLY RECOMMENDED, HOWEVER, WE'LL CONTINUE TO BE EVALUATED IN THE FUTURE, UM, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE GET INTO THE MONITORING OF THE DISTURBED AREA.
UM, AND THAT SCOPE OF WORK THAT WILL BE PERFORMED SEATING IS AN OPTION THAT WILL BE EVALUATED AS WELL FOR LARGE AREAS OF BARE GROUND, UM, INCLUDING POTENTIALLY WHAT'S LEFT, LEFT UNDER THE DEBRIS PILES ONCE THEY ARE REMOVED THROUGHOUT THE CORRIDOR, UM, IF, IF THAT'S DEEMED NECESSARY.
AND, UM, THE CITY IS PREPARED TO COMPLETE REVEGETATION AND OTHER EV AND, AND OTHER EVALUATED SCOPE MEASURES IN DEVELOPING A FINAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN THAT'LL BE SHARED WITH THE STATE.
SO, UM, WE'LL CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR INPUT STAKEHOLDER, CONTINUE TO, UH, EVALUATE THE NEED AND THE MEASURES FOR RE UM, THESE ARE THE FIGURES THAT ARE IN THAT, THAT WERE PASSED OUT TO YOU.
THIS IS JUST, UM, AN, AN OVERALL MAP THAT JUST SHOWS THE, UM, KIND OF THE, THE EXTENT OF THE OVERALL, UM, INTERCEPTOR AND THE, AND THE, THE SEWER VALUATION.
AND, UM, AT THIS SCALE IT IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO SEE, BUT, UM, OUR DEBRIS PILES AND THE CLEARED PATH ARE NOTED ON HERE, AND THEN WE WILL, AND THEN THE, THE FOLLOWING FIGURES ZOOM IN AND SHOW THOSE ACTUAL MOTIONS AND, AND THE RESULTS OF OUR MEASUREMENTS IN THE FIELD.
UM, SO WHAT'S ALSO SHOWN ON THESE FIGURES I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE ORANGE LINE IS FOR THE EROSION CONTROL MEASURES, UM, BASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS WHERE WE WOULD RECOMMEND THOSE EROSION CONTROL MATS TO BE INSTALLED.
UM, WE HAVE THE TRAIL NETWORK IDENTIFIED ON THE MAPS AS WELL, AND SOME, AND THOSE TRAIL BLOCKAGES THAT HAD BEEN REFERENCED THAT WERE, UM, PROVIDED BY THE SOCIETY.
UM, AND THAT'S WHERE, UM, THE, UH, PARKS DEPARTMENT IS WORKING WITH, UM, THE COUNTY AND WITH THE SOCIETY TO UNDERSTAND, UM, AND FORWARD WITH CLEARING THOSE TRAIL BLOCKAGES.
SO THOSE AREAS ARE ACTUALLY SHOWN ON THESE MAPS.
THE PURPLE HATCHED AREAS ARE THE EXTENT OF THE D PILES.
YOU'LL SEE THAT, UM, WE TOOK A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ACCURATELY ACCOUNTING FOR IA AREAS THAT COULD BE, THAT COULD BE A RESULT FROM THE, FROM THE IMPACTS.
AND IT'S LARGELY PRETTY MUCH ALONG THE ENTIRETY OF THE CORRIDOR WITH SOME BREAKS.
[00:35:03]
IT'S HALF PARK.AND THEN THIS IS FREDDIE HARRIS PARK.
SO AGAIN, THE, THE, WE HAVE THE TOTAL ACREAGE OR THE ACREAGE OF THE CLEARED PATH IS THAT 3.79 AND THE DEBRIS PILES AT 4.6.
UM, MONITORING HAS BEEN, UM, A, A RECOMMENDATION TO BE EVALUATED.
UM, THIS WILL BE PERFORMED TO EVALUATE IF THE IMPLEMENTED REMEDIATION MEASURES THAT HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED AND DISCUSSED ARE ACTUALLY WORKING AND PERFORMING AS INTENDED.
UM, MONITORING PLAN WILL BE DEVELOPED AND WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO THE, UM, SOCIETY AND TO DALLAS COUNTY FOR REVIEW AND INPUT.
UM, AND THE MONITORING ACTIVITIES WILL BE CONTRACTED OUT, UM, TO A, TO A THIRD PARTY, TO A CONSULTANT.
UM, THE PRELIMINARY PROPOSED MONITORING INCLUDES, UM, INITIAL MONITORING, AN INITIAL MONITORING EVENT THREE MONTHS AFTER THE DEBRIS REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF EROSION CONTROL MEASURES HAS OCCURRED.
UM, AGAIN, WE WE WANT TO WAIT AND GIVE THE AREA A LITTLE TIME TO, UM, UH, TO RESPOND TO THE ACTIVITY THAT WILL BE NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE DEBRIS AND INSTALL THE ROACH AND CONTROL MEASURES, AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY LOOKING AT MONITORING EVERY SIX MONTHS THEREAFTER FOR 18 MONTHS.
UM, ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT AND CORRECTIVE ACTION WILL BE, UM, A COMPONENT WILL, WILL BE COMPONENTS OF THE MONITORING PLAN.
IT'LL BE CRITICAL TO CONTINUING ON WITH THE, WITH THE SUCCESS OF THE, UM, REMEDIATION MEASURES.
UH, IT'S NOT JUST A GO IN AND CLEAN UP AND WALK AWAY.
THERE'S GONNA BE ONGOING WORK AND OPPORTUNITIES TO PIVOT AND ADD ADDITIONAL MEASURES OR REDUCE, UM, ALONG THE WAY WITH, WITH REGARDING ACCESS TO THE CORRIDOR.
AGAIN, FOR ALL THESE MEASURES, THERE'S GONNA BE SOME KIND OF ACCESS THAT'S GONNA BE NEEDED, UM, TO GET INTO THE, INTO THE PRESERVE.
UM, THE CITY IS GONNA DEVELOP AN ACCESS PLAN FOR EACH OF THESE REMEDIATION ACTIONS TO IDENTIFY, OKAY, WHAT'S THE APPROPRIATE ROUTING FOR THE EQUIPMENT? UM, WHAT ARE THE APPROVED ACCESS POINTS AND LOCATIONS, WHAT ARE THE RESTRICTIONS? WHO'S THE CHAIN OF CONTACT? WHO NEEDS TO BE CONTACTED EVERY TIME, UM, PRIOR TO GOING OUT THERE? UM, THE CITY IS WORKING ON SIGNAGE AND WILL WORK WITH THE, UM, PRESERVATION SOCIETY AND DALLAS COUNTY FOR INPUT ON THE LOCATIONS FOR THIS SIGNAGE.
AND, UM, SOME OF THAT MAY INCLUDE THE, SOME RESTRICTIONS LI UH, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LIKE ALLOWABLE USE, MOTORIZED, NON-MOTORIZED, UM, UH, I'LL SAY VEHICLES, BUT, UM, I GUESS BIKES, UM, AND USED AND WHETHER THE AREA CAN BE USED TO ACCESS DURING OR AFTER WET WEATHER CONDITIONS.
UM, AS A LOT OF THE WORK THAT'S BEING, THAT'S OCCURRING RIGHT NOW WITH THE INSPECTION AND A LOT OF THE DEBRIS REMOVAL STUFF WILL BE, UM, A LARGE FACTOR THAT WILL BE THE WEATHER.
HOW WET THE, HOW, HOW WET CONDITIONS ARE OUT THERE TO CONTINUE TO MINIMIZE.
UM, UM, A LONG-TERM ACCESS PLAN FOR THE DISTURBED AREA WILL BE DEVELOPED FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF THE OVERALL SCOPE OF THE PROJECT THAT, THAT BRENDAN DISCUSSED.
UM, AND THAT'LL BE DEVELOPED TO INCORPORATE ACCESS REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE NEEDED MOVING FORWARD FOR THE INTERCEPTOR.
SO WE'VE GONE THROUGH ALL THE DIFFERENT RECOMMENDATIONS.
UM, THERE IS A SEQUENCING THAT WE'VE WORKED TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY, UM, SOME IMMEDIATE, INTERMEDIATE AND LATER ACTION ITEMS. THE, UH, IMMEDIATE ACTION ITEMS WOULD BE CLEARING THE TRAIL BLOCKAGES.
THIS IS IN PROGRESS, UM, RIGHT NOW.
UM, AND THERE'S COORDINATION GOING ON WITH, UM, WITH PARKS AND THE COUNTY.
AND, UM, AND I'LL SAY WITH, WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS, THERE'S COORDINATION GOING ON TO, UM, CONTINUE WITH THAT PROCESS TO REMOVE THE TRAIL BLOCKAGES.
UM, THIS WILL BE DONE WITH CITY CREWS ON FOOT AND, AND WITH HAND EQUIPMENT.
UM, THE STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK IS USED FOR THE, IS BEING USED FOR THE FINAL TRAIL BLOCKAGES DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN PARKS AND THE PRESERVATION SOCIETY ARE OCCURRING.
UM, AND ANOTHER IMMEDIATE ACTION ITEM IS TO DEVELOP A CHIPPING AND MULCHING TO DEVELOP CHIPPING AND MULCHING SPECS THAT WILL BE, UM, AVAILABLE AND PROVIDED TO THE CITY.
UM, WE ARE WORKING ON THAT CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, AND, UM, WE'LL BE PROVIDING THEM TO THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO, UH, MOVE INTO, UH, RFP PROCESS AND GO THROUGH THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY DO THE CHIPPING AND MULCHING ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE, WITHIN THE CORRIDOR.
UM, AND THEN ANOTHER IMMEDIATE ACTION ITEM WAS TO CIRCULATE THE, UH, FOREST IMPACT ANALYSIS PORT TO THE STAKEHOLDERS.
AND THAT WAS SENT OUT AT THE END OF
[00:40:03]
EIGHT.THE, UH, INTERMEDIATE ACTION ITEMS WOULD BE THE DEBRIS REMOVAL AND THE PRELIMINARY EROSION CONTROL MEASURES.
UM, WE'LL NEED TO ALSO GO THROUGH THE CITY PROCUREMENT PROCESS.
UM, THE SCOPE WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE CITY AND STAKEHOLDERS BEFORE BEGINNING WORK AND THEN, UM, IN LINE WITH THAT PRIORITY SEQUENCING FOR THE DEBRIS REMOVAL, BUT ALSO BE THE TRIBUTARY BLOCKAGE.
AND AGAIN, THAT WILL BE DONE FOLLOWING THE REMOVAL OF THE DEBRIS AND THE EROSION CONTROL MAT INSTALLATIONS TO, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT THE AREA CAN BE ACCESSED.
UH, THE LATER ACTION ITEMS WOULD BE ADDITIONAL EROSION CONTROL MEASURES SHOULD, SHOULD IT BE REALIZED THAT THOSE ARE NECESSARY, UM, REVEGETATION OR OTHER MEASURES, UM, FOLLOWING THE FINAL SEWER EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE, UM, WILL CONTINUE TO BE EVALUATED, BUT WILL BE DONE LATER IN THE PRO LATER, UM, DOWN THE LINE.
AND ONGOING MONITORING OF THE CLEAR CORRIDOR FOR THE FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS OR REMEDIATION REFORMED AS NEEDED.
UM, AND THE MONITORING PLAN, KNOW, IT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION KIND OF RAPID FIRE, BUT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS? YES, MA'AM.
UM, NOT INCLUDING THE WEATHER.
WHAT'S THE TIMELINE ON THIS? 'CAUSE WE'RE ALREADY APPROACHING A YEAR SINCE IT'S HAPPENED.
UM, WHAT I CAN SPEAK TO IS THAT, UM, THE IMMEDIATE ACTION ITEMS ARE THAT, IF I GO BACK TO THAT, MAYBE THAT'S, THAT'S A GOOD TALKING POINT.
UM, AND CERTAINLY OPEN TO GET, UM, CITY INPUT AS WELL.
BUT THE TRAIL BLOCKAGES, THAT'S THE IMMEDIATE STUFF THAT'S IN, THAT'S IN PROGRESS.
WE ARE DEVELOPING THE SPECS THAT'LL BE, UM, AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW IN THE VERY NEAR TERM.
UM, I, I CAN'T SPEAK TO EXACTLY WHAT THE DETAILS ARE FOR THE EX EXPERIMENT PROCESS FOR THAT ABOUT THE SEWER RESEARCH.
SO I CAN SPEAK TO THE SEWER RESEARCH.
SO THE SEWER RESEARCH IS, WE'RE EVALUATING A MANY ALTERNATIVES, UM, SOME OF WHICH ARE, UH, JUST TO RELOCATED OUT OF THE PRESERVE.
SO THE TIMELINE ON THE INITIAL EVALUATION IS GOING TO BE INTO THE SUMMER, MID TO LATE SUMMER, UH, AS WE NEED THE INFORMATION FROM OUR PIPE INSPECTION TO ORDER TO MAKE A ACCURATE RECOMMENDATION, UH, TO ALL STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO THAT, UH, INTERCEPTOR, JUST VALUATION, WHAT PROBABLY BE VARIOUS, SO ONCE WE SEE PROCUREMENT, SO JUST LEADING TO MORE QUESTIONS, SORRY.
UM, SO DOES THE CITY HAVE A BACKUP PLAN IF THE SEWER FAILS DRAIN ALL OF THIS SUN AND RESEARCH AND WORK, AND THERE WAS A, UM, ISSUE THAT OCCURRED DURING THE STORM, YOU WOULD WHERE EVERYONE IS A MORE DAMAGED THAN TOO IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE STORE.
TOTAL HONESTY, YES, IT'S A LARGE SEWER EQUIPMENT THAT HAS, UM, BUT WE'RE ALL AWARE OF PATIENT LINES NOW MM-HMM
AND THEY A NOTIFICATION AND
WHAT WE'VE SEEN, AGAIN, THAT THAT MIGHT, WOULD LEAD TO WHERE WE ARE COMING.
GOT SOME WE MIGHT WANT, WE DON'T WANT AN EMERGENCY.
WE CAUSED MORE DAMAGE TO SOME IMMEDIATE ACTIONS WE HAVE IN THE MEANTIME, WE'LL
[00:45:09]
GET, AND WE HAVE TO WAIT.SO IT SHOULD BE POINTED OUT THAT, UH, FOREST IS ACTUALLY DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB ITSELF.
THE, THE SOIL SEED BANK, SO THE, THE SEEDS THAT ARE IN THE SOIL FROM JUST, YOU KNOW, YEARS AND YEARS OF PRODUCING, UM, YOU KNOW, HAVE, YOU KNOW, PROVEN TO BE PRETTY, UM, REGENERATIVE.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE ONLY AREAS WHERE IT KIND OF GOT SCRAPED REALLY CLEAR THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT SEEING THAT.
AND, UM, SO, AND IT'S, IT'S REALLY NARROWER THAN, YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF SEE, I MEAN THE, THE CANOPY KIND OF IN MOST OF THE PLACES ALONG THERE MEETS ITSELF.
SO IT'S, UH, AND THERE WILL, YOU KNOW, BE THE NEED TO, LIKE I SAY, HAVE SOME ACCESS.
IT DID HAVE A SITUATION IN, YOU KNOW, BEFORE ALL THIS STARTED UPSTREAM, CLOSER TO SPRING PARK WHERE THEY, UM, UH, HAD HAD DAMAGE TO A, UH, UH, MANHOLE AND THEN THEY DID GET IN THERE AND HAVE TO GET IN THERE AND FIX THE MANHOLE.
AND SO, UH, SO, SO THEY HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE ON GETTING IN.
BUT WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, FROM PRELIMINARY STAGE BEFORE ALL THIS STARTED IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE IS SOME INFILTRATION INTO THE SEWER.
SO WE KNOW THAT THE SEWER'S BROKEN SOMEWHERE AND THAT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET IN AND THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO SOME REPAIR.
AND SO THIS OTHER PART OF THE STUDY IS, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, GONNA, GONNA HELP 'EM FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT IS.
THE, UM, YOU KNOW, IT, IT IS A CHALLENGE THAT HAS TAKEN A WHILE, BUT, UH, FINALLY KIND OF GETTING ON TRACK, YOU KNOW, LIKE WITH ALL PROJECTS THERE'S BEEN SOME EQUIPMENT CHALLENGES AND, AND THAT KIND OF STUFF.
SO, 'CAUSE WE WERE, WE WENT AND, YOU KNOW, ON DECEMBER 3RD, YOU KNOW, WENT AND LOOKED AT ALL THE, ALL THE SITES.
I DIDN'T GO, I WAS, WASN'T DOING TOO WELL THAT DAY, BUT THE, UM, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, AND WE THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA BE DONE BY END OF FEBRUARY, YOU KNOW, AND THEN THERE WAS A SERIES OF, LIKE YOU SAY, COULDN'T GET THE SEWER, COULDN'T GET INTO THE SEWER BECAUSE THE MANHOLES WERE STUCK.
AND, UH, THERE WAS SOME EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS THAT, THAT TOOK A, SOME TIME TO GET RESOLVED.
BUT, UH, ANYWAY, YOU KNOW, ALL, ALL IN ALL, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A LITTLE SLOW.
BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK EVERYBODY CAN ADMIT THAT WE WOULD'VE BEEN LIKED TO HAVE BEEN DONE A LOT, A LOT, LOT QUICKER.
UH, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, WE, WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE, WE WOULD, YOU KNOW, THE TRAIL THAT'S IN THERE NOW IS GETTING A LOT OF USE BY A LOT OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF USERS.
UM, AND, UH, SO WE HAD AN INCIDENT THE OTHER DAY WHERE, UH, AND I DON'T ONLY THINK IT WAS IN THIS AREA, IT WAS IN, I THINK IN ANOTHER PART OF THE PARK WHERE HAD AN E-BIKE ON THE, UH, ON THE TRAIL.
ONE OF OUR FOLKS SAYS, WELL, YOU CAN'T BE IN HERE WITH SOMETHING THAT HAS A MOTOR
AND THE KID SAID, THIS DOESN'T HAVE A MOTOR.
THERE'S SOME EDUCATION I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON WHAT AN E-BIKE IS.
SO I, I THOUGHT BIKES ARE ALLOWED.
SO THERE'S NOTHING IN THE, THE CITY REGULATIONS THAT, YOU KNOW, DISALLOWS 'EM, EXCEPT FOR MOTORIZED VEHICLES.
BUT, UM, THE, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST, JUST BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE, UH, THE TRAILS AND THE NATURE OF THE HABITAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALWAYS RECOMMENDED THEY GO TO LAC CREEK BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE, SO LIKE THE DREE PILES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A SIGNIFICANT PERIOD OF TIME, HAVE THEY DEVELOPED THEIR OWN ECOSYSTEM SINCE THEY'VE JUST BEEN SITTING THERE? AND THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT HAPPENS.
AND THE ONLY CHALLENGE HERE IS THAT THEY'RE SO DEEP AND SO THICK THAT, UH, WE HAD A SITUATION, UH, MAYBE 20, 25 YEARS AGO, UH, WHERE WE CLEARED, UH,
[00:50:01]
SOME WOODY DEBRIS OFF OF THE PRAIRIE AREA OVER, UH, YOU KNOW, OFF OF FER ROAD.AND, UH, IT GOT MULCHED UP AND STACKED UP, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE FIVE OR 10 FEET TALL.
AND, YOU KNOW, THAT AREA IS JUST NOW, YOU KNOW, DECADES LATER STARTING TO RECOVER.
SO, SO WE DON'T WANT THE SAME KIND OF SITUATION YOU DEVELOPING HERE.
WE WANT TO BY BREAKING IT UP, YOU KNOW, DISTRIBUTING IT OUT.
SOME, UH, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD, YOU KNOW, THE GOAL WOULD BE IS KEEP AS MANY OF THE NUTRIENTS IN THERE AS POSSIBLE.
UM, BUT WE WANT TO, YOU KNOW, NOT BASICALLY CARLIN SAID, UH, SMOTHER THE SOIL.
SO DAVID, HOW MANY ACRES IS THE PRESERVE? SO THE PRESERVE PIECE THAT'S OWNED BY COUNTY, DALLAS COUNTY IS ABOUT 103 ACRES WITH SOME, A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT.
AND THEN THE, THE HOLE, AND THEN THERE'S PROBABLY ANOTHER 130 OR 150 ACRES OF GREEN BELT.
IT KIND OF DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU INCLUDE AND HOW YOU COUNT IT.
SO, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WAS IT WAS, IT WAS UNCLEAR IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT, UH, DEPARTMENTS, WHICH AREA WAS COUNTY AND WHICH AREA WAS CITY.
SO IT HELPED RESOLVE SOME OF THOSE
YEAH, I'M JUST GONNA ADD FROM THE CITY, I MEAN FROM PARKS DEPARTMENT, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF COORDINATION THAT GOES ON WITH CHRISTINA.
UM, SHE'S WORKING WITH ME, SHE'S WORKING WITH CARRIE.
UM, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO SHE CALLED AND SAID, HEY, OUR ACCESS PLAN THAT WE THOUGHT WE'D BE ABLE TO DO, WE NEED TO MODIFY IT.
SO WE'RE TALKING THOSE THINGS THROUGH WHERE THAT COORDINATION DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE.
UM, AND A POSITIVE OUTCOME OF ALL OF THIS.
AND THEN OF COURSE, INCLUDING STAKEHOLDERS, UM, IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
UM, MS. BARBARA, I KNOW YOU, DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT BACK THERE? I DID.
SO IT IS THE, YOU KNOW, POSITION OF THE, OF THE SOCIETY TO BASICALLY PUT THE FOREST FIRST.
SO EVERYTHING WE SAY COME, COMES FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.
I, UH, WE NEED TO GET YOU AT A MICROPHONE.
BRENNAN, COULD SHE HAVE THAT SPOT?
I'M THE, UH, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE PRESERVATION SOCIETY FOR SPRING CREEK FOREST.
UM, I SEND, UH, ANNOUNCEMENTS MONTHLY AND I INCLUDE, UH, CHRISTINA'S INFORMATION ON WHAT HAS BEEN UPDATED AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED, UH, AT THAT POINT EACH MONTH.
AND, UM, WE, UH, UM, IN, IN HER MOST CURRENT UPDATE, UH, IT DOES TALK ABOUT, UH, THE, UH, WORK THAT THE PARKS DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO BE DOING, UH, GOING INTO HALF, HALF PARK AND CAREFULLY MU MULCHING AND SPREADING OUT THE PILES OF THE DOWN TREES AND FOLIAGE TO REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE DEBRIS PILES AND TO PROMOTE SPEED DECOM COMPOSITION OF THE DEAD PLANT MATERIAL.
AND THAT, OF COURSE, IT HELPS SLOW EROSION AND IT BEGINS TO RESTORE THE BEAUTY OF THE NATURAL SURFACE WALKING PATH.
AND WE JUST GREATLY APPRECIATE, UH, THE WORK THAT YOU ARE DOING TO CAREFULLY REMOVE THOSE.
AND, UH, JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THE CARE THAT YOU'RE TAKING AND WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH SO.
BUT ALSO IN HER UPDATE, UM, UH, SHE, UM, TOUCHED ON THE REASON THAT THE POOP PROJECT, THE GETTING THE PIPELINE OUT OF THE PRESERVE PROJECT IS SO IMPORTANT.
AND LET ME ALSO STATE THAT GETTING THE PIPELINE OUT OF THE PRESERVE ITSELF, NOT JUST THE CREEK, BUT GETTING IT TOTALLY OUT OF THE PRESERVE, UH, IT MUST BE EVENTUALLY APPROVED AND FUNDED AND DESIGNED AND COMPLETED.
UH, THE, UH, HER INFORMATION STATES THAT THERE ARE SEWER SEGMENTS WHERE THE EQUIPMENT WAS NOT ABLE TO FLOAT AS EXPECTED DOWN THE SEWER AND ACCESS THROUGH MANHOLES HAS NOT BEEN ACHIEVED YET.
A CE AND CITY CREWS ARE WORKING TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO THE ACCESS PROBLEMS AS THE REMAINING ACCESS POINTS ARE UNDERWATER,
[00:55:01]
WITH LIDS THAT HAVE SEIZED UP OVER TIME.REPLACEMENT OF THE LIDS IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS IS CHALLENGING AS THE WORK IS NEEDED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CREEK.
SO IN OTHER WORDS, IF THE SEWER REMAINS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CREEK, THE PROBLEMS REGARDING ACCESS, WELL JUST, UH, REGARDING ACCESS IN ORDER TO INSPECT AND MAINTAIN IT WILL JUST MERELY CONTINUE RATHER THAN BE RESOLVED.
SO WE REALLY WANT TO PUSH FOR THE POOP PROJECT, AND I KNOW THAT'S A LONG, LONG PROJECT, BUT WE STILL NEED TO GET THAT DONE.
ANY QUESTIONS, BARBARA? THANK YOU, BARBARA, FOR EVERYTHING.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, COMMENT? THAT WAS GREAT INFORMATION.
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
I'VE, THEY'VE BEEN ON MY MIND FOR MONTHS, I'M SURE THEY HAVE.
NEXT UP WE HAVE ITEM THREE B, UH, THE PARKS AND RECREATION BUDGET UPDATE BY MR. KEITH REAGAN.
I'M THE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE ADMINISTRATOR.
WHOLE MOUTHFUL WAS THAT A FEW YEARS AGO, BUT IT'S BEEN A MORE THAN A FEW YEARS AGO.
I'VE BEEN ASKED TO DO A ANNUAL BUDGET UPDATE JUST TO KIND OF, UH, PROVIDE THE BOARD, UH, UPDATE OF HOW WE'VE KIND OF BEEN DOING AS FAR AS THE BUDGET AND HOW WE, UM, TAKING CARE OF CITY MONEY AND BEING REAL STEWARD OF THE MONEY AND JUST KIND OF PROVIDING THAT TO THE BOARD.
SO I'M KIND OF GOING TO COVER THREE FISCAL YEARS, UM, IN THIS PRESENTATION.
UM, FIRST KIND OF GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY, UH, FOR THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW, BASICALLY D PARTS OF RECREATION WORKS WITH THREE MAJOR, MAJOR FUNDING SOURCES.
UM, FROM THE OPERATING BUDGET, WE HAVE TWO FUNDS.
WE HAVE THE GENERAL FUND THAT IS BASICALLY COMES FROM TAXPAYERS, UH, THAT BASICALLY FUND ALL OF OUR FULL-TIME STAFF.
UM, IT DOES OUR ADMINISTRATION DEVELOPMENT, PARK MAINTENANCE, AND ALL NON-REVENUE RECREATION, UH, EXPENDITURES.
THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE RECREATION PERFORMANCE FUND.
THE RECREATION PERFORMANCE FUND IS LIKE AN ENTERPRISE FUND.
THAT MEANS THAT I HAVE TO BRING IN THE REVENUE TO SPEND THE EXPENSES.
SO IF I DON'T BRING IN THE REVENUE, I DON'T GET TO SPEND THE EXPENSES THAT WAS BASICALLY DEVELOPED.
AS, UH, AS WE HAVE MORE REVENUE COME IN, I ALWAYS HAVE MORE EXPENSE COME OUT OUT BECAUSE IT'S ALL BASED OFF OF REVENUE.
SO, UM, SO THAT IS THE RECREATION PERFORMANCE FUND.
AND THEN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT, UH, PROCESS IS A DIFFERENT TIME.
THEY ACTUALLY DO NOT CORRESPOND IN THE SAME TIME FACTOR, BUT, UH, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS ARE TYPICALLY DEBT, UH, FUNDED.
UH, THEY ARE USUALLY LARGER PROJECTS, UH, THAT ARE FUNDED THROUGH BOND OR, OR OTHER TYPE OF DEBT.
AND I BASICALLY HAVE WHAT IS ACTUALLY WAS SUSPENDED IN 2025 THERE TO KIND OF GIVE YOU SOME NUMBERS THERE.
SO FOR 2024, THE GENERAL FUND, UH, I DIDN'T WANNA DO THE SAME OLD PIE CHARTS OR THE BAR CHARTS THAT Y'ALL GOT IN PAST.
SO I KIND OF DID A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THIS YEAR.
SO TO KIND OF GIVE YOU, UM, OUR BUDGET, 69% OF OUR GENERAL FUND BUDGET IS PERSONNEL.
UH, 7% IS, UH, BASICALLY INTERNAL TRANSFERS FROM LAC FLEET VEHICLES OR OTHER DEPARTMENT CHARGES.
AND THEN LESS THAN 1% IS SPENT ON CAPITAL.
AND THOSE ARE USUALLY ITEMS THAT'S 5,000 OR MORE THAT
[01:00:01]
ARE WITHIN OUR OPERATING BUDGET.FOR THE PERFORMANCE FUND, UM, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
16%, AND THAT'S USUALLY SEASONAL STAFF IS FUNDED OUT OF THE PERFORMANCE FUND.
AND THEN WE HAVE A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THAT OPERATIONAL TRANSFER THAT'S IN OUR REC PERFORMANCE FUND.
AND THEN, UH, THEN GOING TO OUR, UH, REVENUE, UH, WE HAVE SOME GENERAL FUND REVENUE, WHICH IS MOST OF OUR POOL REVENUES.
AND THEN WE HAVE, UH, A WIDEN FALL FEES.
WE GET A FEE, A A PERCENTAGE FOR WIDEN FALLS AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S NOT, UH, REVENUE BASED, THAT'S IN THE GENERAL FUND.
UH, WE ACTUALLY HIT 92.5% OF OUR TARGET.
UM, THE REASON I SHOW THAT, 'CAUSE I WANNA SHOW YOU THE REC PERFORMANCE FUND, UH, THE REC PERFORMANCE FUND.
WE GET, UH, REVENUE FOR ALL THE PROGRAMS FOR RECREATION CENTERS, SENIOR CENTERS, MEMBERSHIPS, SWIM PROGRAMS, ATHLETIC PROGRAMS, AND RESERVATIONS.
SO LAST YEAR WE ACTUALLY RECEIVED 123% MORE THAN, UH, OUR REVENUE PROJECTION.
SO, UH, WE'RE DOING REALLY GOOD IN OUR, UH, STAFF IS DOING REAL GOOD AS FAR AS BRINGING IN REVENUE, UM, AND, UM, AND PROMOTING THAT.
AND THEN SO FAR THIS YEAR, WE ARE BASICALLY 58% THROUGH OUR BUDGET.
UM, UH, OUR GENERAL FUND IS TRACKING, UH, PRETTY, PRETTY WELL AT 50.8, UH, NOTICING OUR BIGGEST MONTH OR MAY, JUNE, JULY.
AS FAR AS EXPENDITURES, UH, THE REC PERFORMANCE FUND IS ABOUT 31.8.
AGAIN, MOST OF THE EXPENDITURES WILL HAPPEN IN THE SUMMER, BUT WE'RE ALREADY AT 68.7% OF OUR REVENUE.
SO WE'RE DOING REALLY GOOD AS FAR AS BRINGING IN REVENUE.
UM, SO, UM, WE'RE DOING REALLY GOOD AS FAR AS THAT.
AND THEN, UM, KIND OF GIVING YOU A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT'S GOING ON FOR NEXT YEAR, UH, IF YOU'RE TYPICALLY BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE, YOU KNOW, WE TYPICALLY DO OUR BUDGET PRESENTATIONS IN AUGUST THIS YEAR.
WE'RE ACTUALLY, UM, THE CITY MANAGER WILL BE PROVIDING THE PROPOSED BUDGET IN JULY.
THAT MEANS THAT, UH, WE WILL COME BACK IN JULY 8TH, UH, TO THE BOARD WITH THE, UH, PROPOSED BUDGET.
UH, OUR WORK SECTION WILL SCHEDULE FOR JULY 8TH TO 18TH, AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO APPROVE THE BUDGET ON AUGUST 17TH.
THE LARGEST REASONS WHY THAT IS ESCALATED EARLIER IS THE ELECTION ON NOVEMBER 3RD.
UM, THAT'S WHEN THEY'RE TAKING THE TAX RATE ELECTION TO THE, UH, VOTERS ON NOVEMBER 3RD.
AND IT'S NOT, THEY'RE NOT LOOKING FOR A TAX INCREASE.
UH, THEY'RE LOOKING AT A TAX SWAP.
AND MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING BACK STAFF, UM, FROM BUDGET AND MAYBE PRESENT THAT, UH, UH, TO Y'ALL, UM, FROM THAT STANDPOINT TO EXPLAIN THAT TO Y'ALL A LITTLE BIT BETTER, UM, AS FAR AS WHAT HAPPENED IN THE ELECTION.
SO, UH, HOPEFULLY IN SEPTEMBER WE CAN MAYBE ADD THEM TO THE, UH, BOARD SO THEY CAN KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT THE TAX ELECTION.
SO Y'ALL CAN BE A PROPONENT OF THAT FOR US, UH, AS FAR AS WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO.
BUT THAT IS SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 3RD.
AND THEN FROM THERE, UM, ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? SPEAK NOW FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE.
NEXT UP WE HAVE ITEM THREE C, OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT UPDATE.
UH, MARK ELLEN, UH, PARK EXPLAINING ADMINISTRATOR.
[01:05:13]
ALL RIGHT.SO WE GET, GET STARTED WITH THE, UH, PROJECT UPDATES FOR, UH, PARKS.
UM, ALSO I TAILORED THIS, UH, KEITH
UM, UH, ESPECIALLY SOME OF THE PROJECTS ARE ON HOLD.
SO, UH, I MAY FLY THROUGH THOSE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO ANSWER, ASK THOSE.
SO, UH, WE HAD THE, UH, PARK BOARD TOUR, WAS IT LAST WEEKEND.
UH, SO A FEW OF YOU, UH, WENT OUT TO REALLY GET THE FEEL FOR THE INTERIOR OF THAT SPACE.
UH, THEY'RE STILL CONTINUING WITH THE STRUCTURAL STILL INSTALLATION, UM, BUT SOON AFTER THAT WALL CLADDING, UH, AND REALLY DEFINE THE SPACE ON THE INTERIOR.
SO IT'S GONNA BE REALLY EXCITING TO SEE THOSE.
UM, SO ONCE WE GET THOSE, I'LL BE SURE TO THESE PHOTOS ON THE, THE PRESENTATION, HERE'S SOME OF THE PHOTOS FROM THE OTHER WEEKEND.
THAT'S, UH, THAT'S GONNA BE A REALLY COOL THING.
SO IS THERE SOMETHING MORE NARROW THAN FOURTH QUARTER? MORE NARROW? YEAH, MORE FOCUSED.
IS THERE LIKE A, A DATE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? NO, AS WE, AS WE GET CLOSER TO THAT, I CAN REFINE THAT DATE TO GIVE A MORE ACCURATE MONTH OR SO, BUT I MEAN, IT, IT CHANGES.
'CAUSE IT CAN, WITH WEATHER DELAYS, SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION KIND OF MOVES AROUND WITHIN THAT Q4 WINDOW.
SO THAT'S JUST AN EASIER COMMUNICATION PIECE.
SO THE, UH, SURF AND SWIM PROJECT, UH, Y'ALL HEARD HELP.
THE PROGRESS IS SHAPING UP WITH THAT.
UH, THE CONTRACTOR IS STILL ADDRESSING SOME PUNCH LIST ITEMS. UM, AND I HEARD THIS MORNING, UH, THAT LIFEGUARD TRAINING IS SET FOR THIS WEEKEND.
SO THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF ACTIVITY, UH, GETTING EVERYONE PREPARED FOR THE UPCOMING SEASON.
THAT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING ELSE.
BUT THEY GOTTA SURF, UH, THE WAVERUNNER.
SO, UH, LU H PARK, UH, THE REC CENTER INTERIOR SALVAGING IS UNDERWAY.
THEY HAVE TO STRATEGICALLY DEMO A LOT OF THE COMPONENTS, UH, AND REUSE THROUGHOUT THE SITE, SO IT'S NOT JUST A BULLDOZE OVER.
UH, BUT THEY HAVE CLEARED OUT THE, UH, THE REC CENTER FINALLY.
UM, IT'S AMAZING TO SEE HOW LARGE AN OPEN IT IS WITH ALL THE, THE DEBRIS AND ALL THE STORAGE GONE.
SO, UH, SLIGHT DEMO IS UNDERWAY.
UH, THEY'VE, UH, BEGAN REMOVING THE PEDESTRIAN PAVING THE EXISTING BASKETBALL COURT, UH, SOFTBALL FIELDS.
UH, THIS IS WHERE THE COURT WAS ONCE.
UH, THERE'S A LOT OF PAVING THAT SPREAD SPREADS THROUGHOUT THE SITE.
SO THEY'RE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS WITH THAT.
UH, THE NEXT STEP IS TO REALLY, UH, TACKLE THE, THE GYMNASIUM ITSELF.
RICO AND SPLASH PAD, UH, KIMLEY HORN IS, UH, HAS REVISED THE FOOTPRINT OF THE SPLASH PAD.
I'VE SEEN A, A FEW, UH, SITE PLANS OF THAT.
SO IN THE COMING WEEKS, I EXPECT THAT, UH, WE'LL GET A REVISED PLAN SET, UM, TO SEE WHAT THE REDUCTIONS ARE ASSOCIATE WITH THAT OR THE COSTS.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THIS UNDER BUDGET AND GET IT OUT TO BID AND GET THIS THING BUILT.
SO WIND JOY PARK, EROSION CONTROL AND CONSTRUCTION FENCING'S INSTALLED.
AND THEY'RE CURRENTLY, UH, DOING THE EARTH WORK FOR THE TRAILS, UH, WHERE THOSE WOULD GO.
SO ESSENTIALLY THE TRAIL WILL GO THROUGH, THEY HAVE TO PREP IT, UH, REMOVE ALL THE EARTH WORK, PULL THE DIRT, UM, CONDITION THE SOIL, AND MOVE FORWARD WITH FORM WORK.
AS WE GET FURTHER INTO CONSTRUCTION.
THIS IS, THIS IS WHERE I'LL TAILOR THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE TO HAVE BETTER IMAGERY TO REALLY GIVE A FEEL FOR WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENED ON SITE.
KINSLEY, UH, KINGSLEY PARK, UH, THE PLAN SET HAS RETURNED TO THE CONSULTANT.
UH, WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH SOME LOGISTICAL AIR, SOME LOGISTICAL ISSUES WITH THE, UH, THE, THE FIRE LANE, BUT WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN GET THAT WORKED OUT.
UH, THE NEXT PLAN SET WE'LL SEE FROM THEM ARE ABOUT 90% SET.
WE FINALLY GOT THE, THE 100% PLAN SET, WHICH, UH, IS THE LAST PLAN SET THAT WE HAVE THAT WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE CITY.
[01:10:01]
ANY COMMENTS THAT WE HAVE WILL BE RETURNED.AND THEN AFTER THAT WE WILL FORWARD TO THE TEXAS PARK OF WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT FOR REVIEW, WHICH THE REVIEW TIMELINE IS ABOUT SIX MONTHS OR SO.
SO THE CITY OF GARLAND REVIEWS TWO WEEKS, SO COMPARISON.
SO, UH, DUCK CREEK AUDUBON TRAIL, THE 90% PLAN SET WAS REVIEWED AND SENT BACK TO THE CONSULTANT.
UH, I EXPECTED ABOUT A MONTH OR SO, WE SHOULD HAVE A 100% PLAN SET FOR FINAL REVIEW AFTER WHICH ANY CLIMATE WILL BE ADDRESSED.
AND THEN GO TO BID, CENTRAL PARK WALKING TRAIL.
WE HAVE SOME IRRIGATION WORK TO ADDRESS, UH, THROUGH THIS, UH, THIS PROJECT.
UH, WE'RE GOING THROUGH AN EXISTING PARK.
WE KIND OF ACCOUNTED FOR SOME OF THE, THE DAMAGE THAT WOULD OCCUR, BUT IT'S, IT'S MIRE.
UM, ASIDE FROM THAT, WE HAVE, UH, ONE UTILITY POLE THAT REMAINS.
WE'RE GONNA TAKE THAT OUT, UH, AND THEN FINISH THE PAVING AND, UH, CALL THIS BEEN COMPLETE.
WE STOPPED BY THE PARK BOARD TOUR FOR THIS ONE, SO IT'S REALLY NEAT TO KIND OF GO IN AND SEE WHERE A TRAIL NOW IS, LIKE THROUGH THE WOODS, WHERE PREVIOUSLY IT WAS OVERGROWN AND IT JUST GIVES A DIFFERENT FEEL, ESPECIALLY FOR WHEN YOU'RE WALKING OUT THERE.
SO JAMES PARK AND QUAIL CREEK, UH, CONCRETE PAVING IS IN PROGRESS AND WE REALLY THINK THE PLAYGROUND INSTALLATION WILL BEGIN IN THE COMING WEEKS.
I REALLY, IT FEELS LIKE A, MAYBE A THREE WEEK TIMELINE FOR THAT.
SO THE CONTRACTORS MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
UH, THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN EARLIER THIS WEEK AND THEY HAVE A CREW OF 10 PEOPLE OUT THERE, SO I SUSPECT IT WILL HAVE EVEN MORE THAN WHAT'S SHOWN HERE.
SO, AND THIS IS THE, UH, QUAIL CREEK PORTION OF THIS.
UH, A LOT OF THE OTHER PHOTOS WERE MAINLY ON JAMES PARK, BUT THEY FINALLY GET OUT TO QUAIL CREEK.
AND, UH, IT'S GONNA BE A REALLY NICE, UH, AMENITY IN MY PLACE, IN MY MIND.
'CAUSE IT'S, IT'S A LOT OF MATURE TREES.
NO TREES ARE GONNA BE REMOVED ON THIS, SO IT REALLY TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE SHADE THAT'S OUT THERE.
SO AS WE GET FURTHER ALONG, WE'LL BE SURE TO PUT THOSE PHOTOS ON HERE.
UH, CONSULTANT FOR THIS IS THE ONE WHERE WE DROVE THE PARK BOARD WHERE POINTED OUT, UH, GOES UNDERNEATH THE RAILROAD.
UH, THE CONSULTANT IS DEVELOPING A, UH, OVERHEAD PROTECTION STRUCTURE TO, TO BASICALLY KEEP THE PEDESTRIANS BELOW.
YEAH, THEY, UH, YEAH,
SO, UH, THEY WERE REVISING THE, THE PLANS TO SHOW THAT, UH, AFTER WHICH THEY'LL CONFIRM THAT ALIGNMENT.
SO, AND HERE WE GO TO THE REPETITIVE ONES STILL ON HOLD WITH THIS ONE.
UH, DESIGN IS COMPLETE, BUT WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT.
UH, NAME AND FOREST CONNECTION TRAIL IS 90% AND I'M PAUSED.
SO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO ASK.
SO I HAVE A COUPLE, UM, COULD YOU GO BACK TO LOU HUFF PARK AND SAY AGAIN ABOUT THE GYMNASIUM, UH, SALVAGING? IS THAT WHAT YOUR SALVAGE PIECES OF OR YES, IT'S REALLY, IT'S REALLY INTERESTING.
SO WE HAVE A NUMBER OF THINGS THROUGHOUT THE SITE THAT WE'RE GONNA REUSE THE MATERIALS FOR.
WE HAVE, UH, PICNIC TABLES WITH, UH, WOOD TOPS AND, UH, WOOD SEATS.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO CUT OUT THE EXISTING GYM FLOOR IN THOSE SHAPES AND PLACE THEM ON, ON THE FURNITURE, LIKE IN, LIKE ON THE TABLETOP.
SO WE'VE STRATEGICALLY LOCATED WHERE WE'RE GONNA CUT THOSE OUT.
SO YOU SEE A PORTIONS OF THE, UH, THE STRIPING, UH, THE CENTER COURTS, FOUL LINES, THREE POINT LINES.
UM, SO THAT'S GONNA BE REALLY INTERESTING TO DO.
UH, THE STRUCTURAL BEAMS AND, UH, SUPPORTS ARE GONNA BE CUT OUT AND PLACED THROUGHOUT THE SITE.
LEMME SHOW YOU ON A SITE PLAN.
UM, ESSENTIALLY THESE ARE LIGHT POLES, SO THERE'S A SUPPORT HERE, SUPPORT OF THE LIGHT.
SO REUSING THOSE, UM, THE EXISTING, UH, SCOREBOARD THAT'S IN THE INTERIOR, WE'RE GONNA REPURPOSE THAT AND PUT IT OUTSIDE BY THE NEW BASKETBALL COURTS.
SO IT'S, IT'S REALLY KINDA NEAT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT VERSUS JUST BULLDOZING IT.
UH, I JUST BEEN IN FOCUS GROUPS AND OR THE HEART OF THAT GREW UP WITH THAT
[01:15:01]
IS IS THEIR WHOLE WORLD.WISH THAT IT COULD HAVE ALL BEEN SAVED.
BUT, UH, IN ABSENCE OF THAT, BUT ANYTHING LIKE THAT THAT YOU CREATED RE REUSED? OH, DEFINITELY.
AND IT'S REALLY, I LIKE THIS APPROACH BECAUSE THE GYM FLOOR, ONCE, IF WE DIDN'T SAVE THAT, IT WOULD BE GONE FOREVER.
SO, UM, WE'VE, SO IT'S REALLY APPLAUD YOU FOR DOING THAT.
IF IT, UH, DIDN'T MENTION, UH, THE BOB DAY TENNIS CENTER, BUT AFTER WE TOOK OUR TOUR AND UH, I DID A FACEBOOK POST ON IT, ONE WOMAN FROM THE PUBLIC WAS ABOUT, AND I MAY HAVE MISSED THIS, BUT PICKLE, IS THERE ANY PHASE TWO PLAN FOR PICKLEBALL? UH, IF, IF WE DO GET A PHASE TWO, THAT WOULD INCLUDE PICKLEBALL.
UM, HOWEVER, I'M NOT SURE WHEN PHASE TWO WOULD, THERE'S NO IDENTIFIED FUNDING, BUT WE ARE TA UH, MAKING RENOVATIONS OVER AT JACK COLEMAN TENNIS CENTER TO ACCOMMODATE PICKLEBALL.
IF ANYTHING RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST CONCEPTUAL.
AND THEN OF COURSE THE SENIOR CENTER.
WHICH WILL BE EXCLUSIVE TO THE USERS OF THAT FACILITY THOUGH.
AND THEN, UH, PROJECT RELATED, THERE ARE GONNA BE SOME ADDITIONAL PICKLEBALL COURTS ADDED IN SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
'CAUSE IN OUR CIP PROGRAM THIS YEAR, UM, THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH, IT WAS COLLUM, BRADFIELD, AND GROVES.
AND THEN OVER AT CENTRAL PARK AS WELL.
SO WE'RE WORKING, UH, THEY WILL STILL HAVE A TENNIS COURT, UH, AT THE THREE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.
SO BRADFIELD, COLLUM AND GROVES.
WE'LL HAVE A TENNIS COURT, TWO PICKLEBALL COURTS, AND THEN LOOKING AT CENTRAL TO DO TWO TENNIS COURT, FOUR PICKLEBALL, FOUR PICKLEBALL.
SO TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE THAT, BUT ALSO STILL ACCOMMODATE THE TENNIS USERS AS WELL.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALRIGHTY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM THREE E, THE LINKED AND ATTACHED DOCUMENTS THERE.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THOSE? NOT SEEING ANY THERE.
SO ONTO ITEM FOUR, MR. LEE FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEM STATUS REPORT.
SO I DID WANNA GIVE AN UPDATE AND WE WILL BRING SOMETHING STILL FORWARD, BUT, UM, THE, UM, WILD SCAPE NAMING AT SPRING CREEK FOREST, WE LEARNED WAS THAT THIS MORNING? TODAY? YEAH, THAT WAS JUST TODAY.
UH, THE, THE COUNTY, DALLAS COUNTY HAD APPROVED THAT.
SO, UH, THAT'S ALREADY IN, LIKE, THERE WERE ALREADY
AND SO GETTING ALL OF THAT GOING, SO ONCE IT'S ALL DONE AND INSTALLED, WE'LL BRING Y'ALL A PICTURE TO SHOW THAT OFF.
UM, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY WE JUST DID ONE OF THE UPDATES ON SPRING CREEK AND WITH THAT WE'RE OPEN TO ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS.
MY SUGGESTION WAS TO AT LEAST CHECK INTO FIND SOME MEMBER
HOW MANY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? JUST AN IDEA.
WELL, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO WITH LIKE THE STARS AND, AND YOU KNOW, THE FUNDRAISER THAT WE'RE DOING.
THAT'S WHAT MADE ME THINK LIKE THE FOSTER CHILDREN, WE DON'T GET.
SO NANCY, MAYBE WHAT WE DO, BECAUSE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'D BRING FORWARD TO YOU ALL AS AN ITEM.
UH, WE HAVE OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM AND SO WE COULD DO AN ITEM ON THAT AND THEN WE COULD HAVE DISCUSSION.
YOU INCLUDE A BRIEFING FROM THE TAX PEOPLE.
TAX QUESTION ABOUT THE BUDGET THOUGH.
UM, JULY 8TH WAS THE DATE ON THERE FOR BRINGING IT BACK TO THE PARKS BOARD? WERE WE MOVING THE JULY MEETING? IT'S A KEY QUESTION,
TYPICALLY WE DON'T HAVE A JULY MEETING, BUT BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING MOVING RIGHT, THAT MIGHT BE A RECOMMENDATION TO HAVE THE JULY MEETING
[01:20:01]
BECAUSE BUDGET IS VERY IMPORTANT.AND, UH, JULY ONE ON, WELL, JULY 4TH, JULY WAS THE WEEK BEFORE.
SO, SO WE NEED TO BRING AN ACTION ITEM FOR Y'ALL TO VOTE ON.
JUST AS YOU KNOW, BACKGROUND ON THAT, WE DIDN'T HAVE A JULY MEETING BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T GET TO CITY HALL AND JULY WHEN EVERYTHING WITH THE FOURTH FESTIVAL WAS DOWN HERE.
BUT THAT'S REALLY NOT WELL THAT IT ALWAYS FALLS RIGHT AROUND THAT WEEK.
THAT'S WITH HOW BUSY EVERYBODY IS LEADING UP TO IT.
RIGHT? THAT'S, YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF, THAT'S WHAT HE WAS, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHERE I WAS GOING WITH THAT.
THAT WAS KIND OF WHAT JASON FAULT.
SO IN ROUNDABOUT, I WOULD NOT HAVE THE BUDGET PACKET BEFORE THEN.
SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS I'LL JUST, FOR Y'ALL THE BUDGET PACKET, IF Y'ALL DO NOT WANNA HAVE, WELL, WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT THOUGH IN THAT ITEM IN THE JUNE.
WELL, I'M JUST LIKE, WHATEVER OPTIONS ARE.
I'M JUST TRYING TO KEEP US KEITH, I'M JUST TRYING TO KEEP US ON THE AGENDA ITEM.
YOU GOTTA GET ON MY CALENDAR EARLY THIS
NO, I KIND, I KIND OF AGREE IF, IF WE CAN DO THAT NEXT MONTH AND TALK ABOUT ANY SORT OF OTHER MEETING CHANGES LIKE, LIKE DECEMBER AND, AND JULY, IF WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT.
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE HE WON'T HAVE IT BY THE FIRST, BUT HE WOULD HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT BY THE FIRST, RIGHT? NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
YEAH, CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT UNTIL THE CITY MANAGER.
SO AS FAR AS ACTION ITEMS AND UPDATES, YOUR, YOUR THOUGHT IS TO POSTPONE THAT IN JULY.
IS, IS, UM, WE'RE GONNA BRING AN ACTION ITEM NEXT WEEK, NEXT MONTH TO TALK ABOUT THE JULY MEETING.
BUT THINK ABOUT IT IN YOUR HEADS,
IMAGINE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT AS A FUTURE ACTION ITEM, CURRENT AGENDA ITEM.
WE WILL ADD THAT TO THE AGENDA.
I'M GONNA PUT A QUESTION MARK ON MY CALENDAR.
WITHOUT ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, WE ARE GOOD TO GO.
WE ARE GONNA WRAP THIS UP AT 8 23.
