GARDENS. I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE PRESENTED BY DAN. I MIGHT HAVE PICKED OUT THE WRONG. ONE SAYS APRIL 9TH. THIS IS APRIL. OH YOU'RE GOOD. YEP. THAT'LL BE FINE. OKAY. SO WHAT? I'M GOING TO APOLOGIZE. WE'RE A LITTLE WE'RE A LITTLE SLIM ON STAFF TONIGHT. COUPLE GOT A COUPLE FOLKS OUT AND SOME OTHER THINGS GOING ON TONIGHT. SO YOU'RE GOING TO GET VERY SICK OF HEARING ME TALK. BUT YOU GUYS GET USED TO IT. IT'S FINE. THE OTHER THING I'LL REMIND YOU, WITH TALIA NOT BEING ABLE TO BE HERE, PLEASE SPEAK UP AND SPEAK INTO YOUR MICROPHONES BECAUSE SHE'S GOING TO COME BACK AND DO THE MINUTES OFF OF THE RECORDING. SO IF YOU'LL JUST MAKE SURE THE SLIDES. RIGHT, RIGHT. THE SLIDE, LIKE I SAID, THIS IS THIS IS CORRECT. YEAH. 
          BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA. OH, I THOUGHT, I THOUGHT WE SAID NO, NO, I SAID FACILITY AGREEMENT FOR LEGACY GARDENS. SO I THINK WE'RE I THINK WE'RE GOOD. OKAY. TOTALLY. 
          I MUST HAVE BEEN. YOU NEVER KNOW. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU GUYS. SO I WAS THE LAST IT WAS MAYBE A MEETING OR TWO AGO. WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THE CREEKSIDE PARK DEVELOPMENT OR THE CREEKSIDE DEVELOPMENT WITH A PARK. AND IF YOU REMEMBER THE DEVELOPER. SO HERE IT IS ON THE MAP. IT'S KIND OF THE AREA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO THERE'S A NEIGHBORING DEVELOPMENT CALLED LEGACY GARDENS, WHICH IS REALLY JUST ALMOST, ALMOST FIT TOGETHER LIKE A TETRIS PIECE, IF YOU WILL. WHEN THE PRIOR DEVELOPER FOR CREEKSIDE, THEY WERE WILLING TO BUILD A PARK, BUT REALLY THEY WEREN'T GOING TO BE ANY AMENITIES. AND WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, YOU ALL APPROVED IT, BUT SAID, WE REALLY WANT TO FIND THE FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO MONETIZE THAT PARK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T KNOW, NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS COMING IN. SO ESSENTIALLY THIS THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ABOUT 270 HOUSES. ALL TOLD BETWEEN WITH THEIR PARK IMPROVEMENT FEES AND PARK DEDICATION FEES, TOTALS A LITTLE OVER $1.8 MILLION. THEY ARE NOT BUILDING A PARK. THEY ARE GOING TO DO SOME TRAIL DEVELOPMENT. AND THAT'S WHAT'S HERE. SO AND I'LL SHOW YOU THIS ON AN UPCOMING SLIDE. SO WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THIS? AND I GUESS I'LL JUST KEEP GOING HERE. WHAT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IS THOSE DOLLARS CAN BE USED TO MONETIZE CREEKSIDE PARK. SO INSTEAD OF JUST HAVING IRRIGATED TURF AND TREES AND A TRAIL, WE CAN USE THESE DOLLARS TO COME IN AND PUT UP BACKSTOPS AND PLAYGROUNDS AND POSSIBLY PAVILIONS. WE JUST WE HAVEN'T REALLY PLANNED THAT OUT, BUT. THIS SO THIS DEVELOPMENT AGAIN, NO PARK, BUT THEY LITERALLY WILL WILL FEED INTO THAT CREEKSIDE PARK THERE. THEY'RE ALMOST ADJACENT. SO THE 
          [00:05:05]
CREEKSIDE DEVELOPER FINALLY AGREED WE HAD COME IN HERE AND WE SAID, WELL, HEY, THE TOWN'S STILL GOT TO PROBABLY PUT UP ABOUT $300,000 TO MAKE THAT WORK THROUGH THE PARK FEES. 
          COUNCIL DIDN'T LIKE THAT. COUNCIL WANTED THE DEVELOPER TO COVER THE COST OF THE PARK, AND THROUGH SOME NEGOTIATIONS, THE DEVELOPER AGREED TO DO SO. SO THE DEVELOPER IS FOR THE CREEKSIDE DEVELOPMENT. PUT UP THE 710,000. REALLY? REALLY. ALL HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO WAS ABOUT $336,000. BUT HE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR HIS COMMUNITY THAT HE WAS GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. SO WE HAVE HAVE THE CREEKSIDE DEVELOPER REALLY STEPPED UP AND MOVED FORWARD, BUT WE STILL DIDN'T HAVE ANY, YOU KNOW, FUN STUFF TO PUT IN THE PARK. SO WITH THIS, LET'S SEE HERE THE LEGACY, THE LEGACY, GARDEN DEVELOPMENT. ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS BUILD THE TRAILS. SO IF YOU'LL SEE THE, THE, THE DARK BLACK LINES, THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING TO CONSTRUCT. SO THESE, THESE ARE ALL TEN FOOT EXCEPT FOR THE ONE ON THE BOTTOM LEFT UNDERNEATH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, WHICH IS A 12 FOOT TRAIL. THESE ARE ALL THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO BE FULLY REIMBURSED PER OUR DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE. THIS ONE THERE'S SOME INTERNAL TRAILS AND THESE WILL BE PROBABLY ABOUT A 50% REIMBURSEMENT ON THOSE. BUT ALL THOSE ALL THAT MONEY IS WHAT MAKES UP ALL THE ALL THE FEES, MINUS THE CREDITS FOR THESE TRAILS, MAKES UP THAT $1.8 MILLION THAT WE'RE STILL GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE. SO WHAT I'M SORRY. SO WHAT WE WANT, WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS FOR YOU ALL TO APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH SHOWS THE DEVELOPER IS GOING TO COME IN AND BUILD TRAILS TO, TO HELP GET THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. AND THIS IS A GOOD SLIDE. SO YOU CAN SEE WE'RE AT CREEKSIDE PROPERTY IS AND PISD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, JUST TO THE WEST, IS THAT SEVEN ACRE PARK THAT WE PRESENTED TO YOU AGAIN A MONTH OR TWO AGO. AND OBVIOUSLY THIS LEGACY GARDENS DEVELOPMENT WRAPS ALL THE WAY AROUND THAT. SO IT'S REALLY A GOOD FIT FOR BOTH COMMUNITIES. AND IT'S A GREAT WAY TO BUILD A PARK WITHOUT THE TOWN HAVING TO COME UP WITH ANY, ANY DOLLARS. AND WE'RE PROBABLY ANTICIPATING OUT OF THAT 1.8, PROBABLY ANYWHERE FROM 6 TO $700,000, WE COULD PULL OFF OF THAT AND REALLY DO SOME NICE THINGS IN THAT PARK AND STILL BE ABLE TO FUND THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FEE FUND WITH PROBABLY AROUND $1 MILLION. SO, SO THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO BRING TO YOU TONIGHT AND SEE HOW YOU FELT ABOUT IT AND SEE IF YOU WERE GOOD WITH WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED. AND THIS WILL GO TO COUNCIL ON THE 28TH OF THIS MONTH. BUT I CAN EITHER TELL THEM PARK SPORTS FOR IT OR PARK SPORTS. NOT REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT. SO WITH THAT, ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? VERY QUIET. YEAH. THERE WE GO. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO SEE IT. OKAY. 
          SO DAN, JUST SO I'M UNDERSTANDING IT'S A TOTAL OF $1.8 MILLION. SO LET ME, I'LL SHOW YOU. SO THEIR TOTAL. SO BASED ON THE LOTS OF THE $1,500 PER UNIT COST, THERE'S ABOUT $405,000. THAT WILL BE THE PARK IMPROVEMENT DOLLARS, THE PARKLAND DEDICATION FEE, BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BUILD A PARK. THEY DON'T HAVE LAND TO DONATE TO TO DEDICATE. 
          THEY WOULD OWE US 7.714 ACRES. AND IN THIS INSTANCE, WE CAN WE CAN FOREGO THE LAND. WE ALREADY HAVE A PARK THERE. SO THE THE ADDITIONAL PARK WOULD NOT BE THAT IMPORTANT. BUT WE CAN ALSO ASK FOR THE VALUE OF WHAT THE LAND WOULD BE THAT THEY WOULD DONATE. AND THAT EQUATES TO IT'S 187,000 PER ACRE TIMES A 7.7 ACRES. AND THAT COMES UP TO THE ONE 1,445,611. ADD THAT TO THE 405. SO WE'RE SETTING ABOUT 1,000,850. AND WE YOU KNOW, IF YOU GUYS ARE OKAY, THAT'S JUST BECAUSE WE'RE. ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS FOCUSING ON ON THIS ONE. OKAY. I'M SORRY. SO THAT'S THAT 1.85. THEY WOULD BE GIVEN BACK 35,002 69 AS A CREDIT FOR BUILDING THE TRAILS. 
          OKAY. AND IT'S NOT A LOT, BUT THERE'S SOME OTHER FUNDING THAT'S ALREADY THROUGH OTHER 
          [00:10:02]
DEVELOPMENT. THIS, THAT ONE SECTION, THE ONE THAT'S OVER THERE, THE THE BOTTOM LEFT WHERE IT SAYS THE PISD MIDDLE SCHOOL, THAT'S A SECTION OF TRAIL THAT'S GOING TO CONNECT TO THE HOPE CHURCH, THE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH. AND WHEN THE CHURCH WAS BUILT, THEY PUT MONEY AWAY IN ESCROW ACCOUNT. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BUILD THE TRAILS. WE'RE GOING TO LET THE DEVELOPER COME IN. SO THE CHURCH PUT THAT MONEY IN. THEY'RE ABLE TO TAKE SOME OF THAT TO BUILD THE TRAIL. SO IT'S JUST KIND OF ALL THESE SUBTLE MOVING PIECES. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE COULD COMPLETE CREEKSIDE PROBABLY PUT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE ESTIMATED COSTS BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T CHOSEN THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT AND BACKSTOPS AND ALL THOSE, BUT WE THINK WE'LL PROBABLY PROBABLY, LIKE I SAID, 6 TO $800,000, JUST DEPENDING ON WHAT WE WANT TO GO WITH. KIND OF WHAT WE WERE ASKING FOR DURING THAT MEETING IS YEAH, TO MOVE. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU DON'T LIKE ABOUT THE AGREEMENT OR ANYTHING YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT WITH THE AGREEMENT? YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY WE LIKE TO TAKE LAND, BUT IN THIS CASE, THERE REALLY WASN'T A REASON TO PUT ANOTHER PARK IN THERE RIGHT NEXT TO IT. THE CREEKSIDE PARK IS ON THE THE TOWN'S MASTER PLAN. SO THAT WAS PART OF ONE OF THE REASONS WHY COUNCIL WAS GOOD WITH THIS ONE, AT LEAST ON THE FRONT END WITH THE CREEKSIDE DEVELOPMENT. AND THEN THEY KIND OF ASKED US, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FUND THE IMPROVEMENTS? AND WE TOLD THEM THERE WAS ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT COMING AND WE WOULD PRESENT THAT TO THEM NEXT MEETING. DID WE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT? SO YEAH, THAT ONE. OKAY. AND HOW BIG IS THIS PARK? THE EXISTING THE PARK THAT'S ALREADY THERE. CREEKSIDE WAS A LITTLE OVER SEVEN ACRES, SEVEN ACRES. AND HOW MUCH WILL YOU HAVE LEFT TO DEVELOP IT? SO WHAT'S BEING BUILT IS JUST IT'S JUST BASICALLY IRRIGATED TURF. AND I THINK SOME TREES WITH THIS YOU'LL HAVE HOW MUCH TO PUT TOWARDS IT. WE COULD PUT. ESSENTIALLY, IF COUNCIL AGREES UP TO THAT $1.8 MILLION ESSENTIALLY AVAILABLE TO COME IN AND FINISH OUT THE PARK. 
          OKAY. YEAH. AND I'M NOT SURE IS THAT REASONABLE FOR SEVEN ACRES AT 1.8 MILLION FOR LIKE DESIGN AND EVERYTHING. IT'S NOT CHEAP THESE DAYS. YEAH. I'M JUST WONDERING HOW FAR THAT WILL GET YOU. SO REALLY, AS FAR AS DESIGN GOES, WE REALLY THERE REALLY IS ZERO. WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO CALL A PLAYGROUND MANUFACTURER SOMEONE, ONE OF THE ONES WE LIKE TO USE. 
          WE'RE GOING TO SAY, HEY, WE WANT TO FILL THIS SPOT. HERE'S ABOUT OUR BUDGET. SO THEY DO THE FREE DESIGN. THEY'LL COME IN, WE'LL GIVE INPUT. SO WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE PROBABLY ANYWHERE FROM AGAIN, HOW BIG AND GREEN WE WANT TO BE. IT COULD BE AS CHEAP AS $250,000 PROBABLY TO GIVE HER ENTRY LEVEL. I'D PROBABLY WANT SOMETHING A LITTLE BETTER THAN THAT. SO WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT 450 IS MY GUESS FOR THIS TYPE OF PARK. I HAVEN'T PRICED THAT IN A WHILE. SO AND AGAIN, THE BACKSTOPS AND MAYBE SOME ADDITIONAL TRAIL TO KIND OF CONNECT SOME DOTS. WE DON'T HAVE A COST ESTIMATE ON THE TRAIL CONSTRUCTION YET. CORRECT? CORRECT. I DO NOT AND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, I THINK THE MAJORITY OF THE TRAIL IS GOING TO BE BUILT WITH THE EXISTING WITH THE CREEKSIDE DEVELOPER. 
          I'M TALKING ABOUT JUST ACCESSIBLE WALKWAYS, MAYBE TO THE PLAYGROUND OR WHATEVER WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN THERE. THAT'D BE MINIMAL. WITH THE OH, SORRY, WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS LIKE FOR THE PARKS, WOULD THAT BE PARKS OR WOULD THAT BE THE COMMUNITY TO HOW DOES THAT WORK? IF SOMETHING NEEDED TO BE FIXED, I GUESS, WOULD THAT BE THE. LEGACY PARK? YEAH. WOULD THAT BE MAINTENANCE OF THE PARK OR WOULD THAT BE THE COMMUNITY? I NEED TO LOOK INTO THE CREEKSIDE SO THESE FOLKS WOULD NOT BE INVOLVED. OKAY. THE LEGACY GARDENS WOULD NOT BE INVOLVED WITH ANY MAINTENANCE OF THAT PARK. OKAY. I CAN'T REMEMBER WITH THE CREEKSIDE DEVELOPER. 
          TYPICALLY WE DO ASK THE DEVELOPER TO MAINTAIN THEM UNTIL THEY TURN IT OVER TO AN HOA. YEAH, I KNEW THAT RESIDENCY. ONCE THAT HAPPENS, THEN THEY'LL LET US KNOW AND THEN THEY CAN TURN IT BACK OVER TO US. SO BUT THE PLAYGROUND TYPICALLY IN MATT, CORRECT ME 
          [00:15:05]
IF I'M WRONG, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE DEVELOPER SHOULD MAINTAIN. WE WOULD DO LIKE AN ANNUAL INSPECTION JUST TO MAKE SURE IT'S STAYING UP TO CODE AND MEETING ALL THOSE REQUIREMENTS. I CAN'T, I JUST I'M SORRY, I CAN FIND THAT OUT. NO, IT'S OKAY. I WAS JUST WONDERING LIKE THE TRAILS TO THAT THAT WOULD BE WOULD THAT BE THE DEVELOPER UNTIL THE SAME SITUATION? SO TYPICALLY ON THOSE TRAILS, WE WOULD BE AT LEAST ON THE OUTSIDE, WE, WE TAKE CARE OF THE CONCRETE. SO IF THERE'S A BREAK, BUT WE'RE NOT MOWING THOSE AREAS, WE'RE NOT HANDLING OKAY ON THE CONCRETE OR SOMETHING HAPPENS, THEN THE TOWN COMES IN AND DOES REPLACE THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU HAVE TO CLARIFY. YEAH. THE CREEKSIDE DEVELOPER IS FUNDING THE PARK. THE THE LEGACY GARDENS IS NOT CORRECT. CORRECT. LEGACY GARDENS. WHAT WE ARE VOTING ON IS TAKING THE 1.8 MILLION AND ALL THE TEN FOOT AND 12 FOOT TRAIL. CORRECT. 
          OKAY. AND WHAT I'M TELLING YOU IS I WILL TAKE BECAUSE THOSE ARE ADDITIONAL FEES THAT WOULD GO INTO OUR PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND. RIGHT. THEN WE'LL TAKE THAT FORWARD TO COUNCIL. IF THEY IF I'M GOING TO PRESENT THIS IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO THEM. AND THEN PART OF THIS WILL BE, HEY, YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE PRESENTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND YOU APPROVED IT? PARKS BOARD ASKED FOR THEY WANT TO MONETIZE THE PARK. NOW WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE THE TOOLS TO DO THAT. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION. OKAY. I GUESS WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF MOVING FORWARD WITH THE. SECOND. YEAH. GIVE IT A SECOND. YEAH, SECOND. 
          OKAY. CARRIE, I GUESS CASTRO IS THE SECOND. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. KYLE. ALL RIGHT. SO. OH, YES, WE DO. WE HAVE TO KEEP IT LEGAL. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR WITH A VISUAL AND I A OKAY. FIVE 
          [5. Consider and act upon a Park Facility Agreement for Wandering Creek. ]
ZERO. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I'M OFF MY GAME. IF I EVER HAD A GAME. NEXT IS CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE PARK FACILITY AGREEMENT FOR WANDERING CREEK. OKAY, SO THIS IS THE ONE THAT I MADE THE ERROR. SO THIS THIS PARK DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS ACTUALLY APPROVED BACK IN 2022. 
          THE THE PARK IS JUST NOW BEING BUILT. AND SO IT GOT PUT INTO MY, MY INBOX, IF YOU WILL, TO, HEY, GO GET THIS ONE APPROVED BY PARKS BOARD. THIS WAS ALREADY DONE. THIS WAS BEFORE WE WERE BRINGING THESE TO, TO PARKS BOARD. SO, SO I'M JUST GOING TO SHOW YOU JUST SO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS. IF YOU HEAR ABOUT WANDERING CREEK, IF YOU LOOK IT'S UP DOWN IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE BOX IS. AND AGAIN, THIS WAS EXECUTED IN NOVEMBER OF 22. THE DEVELOPER DEDICATED. SO THERE WERE NO TOWN FUNDS COMING OUT OF THIS. SO THE DEVELOPER DECIDED, WE WANT TO GIVE YOU THE LAND AND WE WANT TO BUILD THE PARK. IT'S A PRETTY MINIMAL PARK, BUT SO THEY DONATED JUST SHY OF FIVE ACRES. THEY'RE CONSTRUCTING THE PARK, THE SURROUNDING TRAIL AND THE PLAYGROUND. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE TRAIL. AND AGAIN, JUST LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE LAST DEVELOPMENT, IF THE TRAIL, THEY, THEY, THEY DO EVERYTHING. BUT IF FOR SOME REASON THE CONCRETE STARTS TO FAIL, WE'LL COME IN AND, AND MAKE THOSE REPAIRS. WE'LL INSPECT THE PLAYGROUND ANNUALLY. 
          THIS PARK IS ON THE TOWN'S MASTER PLAN. AND SO THAT'S REALLY THERE'S REALLY NO ACTION OTHER THAN I MESSED UP AND PUT IT ON THE AGENDA. SO JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON THERE. SO I'M HAPPY TO DISCUSS IT. IT'S ALREADY HAPPENING. WHEN'S THAT SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLETED? I'M SORRY. WHEN DOES THAT GET COMPLETED? COMPLETED. THEY SO WE JUST APPROVED THE PLAYGROUND PROBABLY A MONTH OR SO AGO. SO THAT TAKES A LITTLE WHILE TO GET ORDERED AND ALL THAT. SO IT'S IT'S STILL PRETTY EARLY IN THE PROCESS, BUT YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF AN IMAGE DOWN THE SECOND, THE AERIAL PHOTO ESSENTIALLY WHERE THAT PARK'S GOING TO BE. THERE'LL BE A NICE LITTLE PARK. ANY OKAY, ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS FOR DAN ON 
          [6. Consider and act upon a Park Facility Agreement for Mirabella.  ]
THIS ONE. OKAY. AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE. I DIDN'T MEAN TO CONFUSE ANYBODY. I WAS JUST ALL RIGHT. NEXT ON THE AGENDA WE HAVE CONSIDER AND ACT UPON A PARK FACILITY AGREEMENT FOR MIRABELLA. OKAY, SO STAFF ARE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. THIS PARK. THIS PARK IS NOT ON THE MASTER PLAN, BUT YOU'LL SEE IT IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. SO MIRABELLA SO MIRABELLA IS BEING DEVELOPED ESSENTIALLY BY TELUS. AND IF THAT NAME RINGS A BELL THEY DID WIN SONG RANCH THE 
          [00:20:05]
WEST SIDE OF TOWN. THEY PICKED UP THE LAND. THEY'RE WORKING WITH A DEVELOPER TO COME IN OR BUILD HOMES. SO THIS ONE'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. THIS ONE'S THIS ISN'T DOESN'T REALLY KIND OF FOLLOW THE ORDINANCE WORD FOR WORD, BUT I WANT TO SHOW YOU I'VE GOT SOME PICTURES AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHY WE'RE SO INTERESTED IN THIS IN THIS PROJECT. SO THE DEVELOPER, I'LL JUST WALK YOU THROUGH IT. WE'LL PAY A PARK IMPROVEMENT FEE OF THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX. 
          AND THAT'S BASED ON THE NUMBER OF HOMES. AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO THEY'RE OFFERING TO GIVE US 19.4 ACRES. NOW THEY'RE ONLY REQUIRED TO GIVE US 9.55. NOW WHAT I WILL SAY IS THIS ACREAGE IS NOT ALL OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN. MAJORITY OF IT IS FLOODPLAIN. SO THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'RE ALWAYS EXCITED ABOUT. BUT WE'LL GET A LITTLE FURTHER INTO THIS. THEY'VE GOT SOME TRAIL THEY WANT TO BUILD. SO WE WOULD GIVE THEM A CREDIT BACK OF 225,000. THAT'S THE ACTUAL COST OF THAT TRAIL CONSTRUCTION. AND THEY HAVE TO PROVE THAT UP. SO THEY WILL SEND US, YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE JUST BACK OFF OF AND JUST DISMISS 225,000. THEY SEND US THE BILLS AND SHOW US WHAT THEY'RE PAYING. SO THAT'S PART OF THE CREDIT. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, 19.4 ACRE DEDICATION 2.3 IS NON FLOODPLAIN. WE DO NOT HAVE A PARK LIKE THIS IN TOWN AND I'LL GET THERE. THERE'S 1100 FEET OF SHORELINE AROUND A BIG POND, LITTLE LAKE. 
          I'LL ALSO I'LL SAY THAT THERE'S NO POND OR DAM RESPONSIBILITIES. THIS WAS SOME LAND, THE TOWN, AND IT WAS ESSENTIALLY. DOES EVERYBODY REMEMBER THE 380 BYPASS THAT WAS GOING ON ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO, MAYBE A LITTLE LONGER? SO THE TOWN WAS NOT REALLY EXCITED ABOUT 380 BEING SWEPT BACK UP INTO INTO PROSPER. THERE WERE CERTAIN WAYS TO BE ABLE TO BLOCK THAT, AND ONE WAS TO IF THERE WERE PARK FACILITIES IN THE WAY. AND SO THE TOWN WAS ABLE TO ACQUIRE SOME LAND, WE PUT TOGETHER A PLAN FOR IT, AND THAT'S CALLED RUTHERFORD PARK. RUTHERFORD STILL JUST UNDEVELOPED LAND. BUT ON THE MASTER PLAN, RUTHERFORD PARK SITS. THIS PROPERTY WOULD BUTT RIGHT UP AGAINST RUTHERFORD PARK. AND I'LL SHOW YOU HERE. OKAY, SO THIS IS A LITTLE EASIER TO TALK FROM. SO THE HATCHED RED IS WHAT THE MIRABELLA DEVELOPER DEVELOPMENT WANTS TO GIVE US. JUST YOU'LL SEE ON THE KIND OF JUST TO THE LEFT AND DOWN. 
          THAT'S WHERE RUTHERFORD PARK EXISTS. THIS POND, WHEN THE PRIOR LANDOWNER WANTED TO ESSENTIALLY SELL LAND TO THE TOWN, IT INCLUDED THE DAM, WHICH IS THE. ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE OF THE LAKE, THE POND, AND THEN SOME, AND THEN THE POND AS WELL. WE WEREN'T REAL EXCITED. THE PONDS NOT IN THE BEST SHAPE. IT HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED. IT'S A. SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE POND. THAT'S WHAT THAT STANDS FOR. AND IT'S, IT'S ALMOST LIKE A COUNTY TYPE. GROUP OR IT'S PROBABLY STATE ACTUALLY. BUT THEY MAINTAIN THE DAMS, THEY MAINTAIN THE PONDS THERE. ESSENTIALLY THEY HAVE NO FUNDING. SO THEY'LL JUST TELL YOU, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO, IF YOU, IF YOU WANT IT LOOKING BETTER, THE CHORES TO TAKE CARE OF THE TOWN WAS INTERESTED IN, IN TAKING THAT ON DAMS CAN BE TRICKY TOO. SO WE, WE TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT. WELL, THE DEVELOPERS PICKED UP ALL THAT WITH THIS LAND PURCHASE, SO I TOLD THEM, WE DON'T WANT THE POND. WE DON'T WANT THE THE DAM, BUT THE LAND SURROUNDING IT IS ACTUALLY PRETTY NICE. THIS IS WHAT THE PARK WOULD LOOK LIKE. SO PRETTY, PRETTY BASIC. AND LET ME I'M GOING TO AND I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE PUT THE SLIDES A LITTLE DIFFERENT. 
          HERE'S WHAT THE LAND LOOKS LIKE. SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S AGAIN, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE SOCCER FIELDS AND BACKSTOPS AND PAVILIONS. IT'S GOING TO BE A NATURE PATH GOING THROUGH THE WOODS, MAYBE SOME BOARDWALK OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES ALONG THE EDGE. IT'S REALLY JUST A COOL NATURE PRESERVE FEEL ALMOST URBAN TO THE EVERGLADES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. ONCE YOU KIND OF GET TUCKED IN THERE AND YOU GET OUT ON THE WATER. SO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD TYPICALLY ASK FOR ON A DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS, WE'D SAY, HEY, WE WANT NINE AND A HALF ACRES TO, TO BUILD A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK ON THEIR, THEIR DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO BE GATED. SO WE WOULDN'T BE GIVING THEM CREDIT PROBABLY FOR A GATEWAY. WE WOULDN'T BE FOR A PARK THAT'S GATED ONLY FOR THAT COMMUNITY. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE DO. IT HAS TO BE ACCESSIBLE BY THE WHOLE TOWN. THIS PARK WOULD BE OPEN TO EVERYBODY. AND AS I SAID, RUTHERFORD WAS ESSENTIALLY AN ANNEX TO RUTHERFORD PARK. I KNOW I'M JUMPING AROUND, I APOLOGIZE, SO IS THIS PIECE OF THE PARK OR IS THIS LAND TECHNICALLY ON THE MASTER PLAN? PROBABLY, NO. BUT 
          [00:25:07]
RUTHERFORD PARK IS, AND THIS WOULD BE BROUGHT UP RIGHT AGAINST IT WITH JUST SOME REALLY COOL, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD CALL IT A HABITAT PRESERVE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          THIS GUY CAN TELL YOU THERE'S PRETTY NICE FISH IN THAT POND. GREW UP FISHING THAT POND. SO I DON'T KNOW. SO, SO AGAIN, THE DEVELOPER IS NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN COMING UP WITH A LOT OF MONEY TO, TO DO THIS. THEY WANT THEY'D RATHER GIVE THE LAND THEY WANT TO BUILD THEIR TRAIL. SO THE TOWN WOULD STILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH ABOUT $660,000. AND, YOU KNOW, THEY ALSO HAVE THEY ALSO WILL PAY THE TOWN 1.9 MILLION IN MITIGATION FEES. THOSE TREE MITIGATION FEES REALLY CAN'T NECESSARILY BE USED TO BUILD A PARK. IT'S USED CAN BE USED TO REESTABLISH TREES, IRRIGATION, ANYTHING RELATED TO THAT. SO THEY WERE, I KNOW WHEN THEY CAME TO ME, THEY WERE TRYING TO SELL, HEY, USE THAT 1.9 MILLION. WELL REALLY CAN'T WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE SOME OF THAT FOR THE PARK, BUT PROBABLY NOT A LOT OF IT. BUT WE DO HAVE OTHER PARTIES WE JUST TALKED ABOUT. THERE'S GOING TO BE $1 MILLION COMING FROM THE MIRROR. EXCUSE ME. THE LEGACY GARDENS AFTER WE MONETIZE CREEKSIDE. SO THE TOWN DOES HAVE FUNDS. THIS ONE, THIS ONE WILL PROBABLY BE A LITTLE MORE TOUGHER PILL FOR COUNCIL TO SWALLOW, JUST BASED ON KIND OF WHAT THEIR FEELINGS ARE RIGHT NOW WITH HOW THE BOND HAPPENED, BUT JUST WITH THEM REALLY WANTING THE DEVELOPERS TO TAKE A LITTLE BIGGER PIECE OF THE PIE ON THESE ON THIS PARK CONSTRUCTION. AND THEY COULD, THEY COULD SAY, LISTEN, IT'S NOT REALLY ON THE MASTER PLAN. I'M I'M SAYING IT IS JUST BECAUSE IT'S AN EXTENSION OF RUTHERFORD OR AN ANNEX OF RUTHERFORD, BUT IT JUST DEPENDS HOW YOU LOOK AT IT. BUT I THINK IT'S UNIQUE ENOUGH WHERE AS, AS THE PARK'S DIRECTOR, AT LEAST FOR ANOTHER MONTH AND A HALF, THIS AGAIN, THIS IS JUST NOT SOMETHING WE HAVE IN OUR IN OUR PARK SYSTEM. IT'D BE SOMETHING PRETTY, I THINK COULD BE SOMETHING PRETTY SPECTACULAR AFTER WE WE BUILT IT. SO WHO ACTUALLY OWNS THE RETENTION POND OR THE. IS IT STATE OWNED? THAT WATERWAY? YEAH. IT'S THE IT'S THE SOIL CONSERVATION SYSTEM DISTRICT, WHATEVER. I BELIEVE THEY'RE PART OF THE STATE. I CAN GET THAT CLARIFIED, BUT. WHERE IS THIS ONE LOCATED? EXACTLY, EXACTLY. BECAUSE CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE? SO DOWN THE RIGHT HAND, THE SOUT TOWN. SO BETWEEN BETWEEN COURT AND CUSTER ON 380 OR JUST NORTH OF 380. OKAY. I WAS TRYING TO GET MY BEARINGS ON WHERE LAKEWOOD WAS BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S THAT OTHER SOIL CONSERVATION LAKE BACK IN WHISPERING FARMS. SO. 
          CORRECT. YES. THIS THIS IS SOUTH AND EAST OF THAT. YEP. CAN YOU GO TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT SLIDE? YES, SIR. IS THAT THE ONE? YES. THANK YOU. YEAH, I DID SKIP OVER THAT. SO THE PARK, YOU KNOW, TO BUILD WHAT THAT PLAN SHOWED. WE'RE JUST SHY OF $800,000. AND AGAIN THEY WOULD HAVE AFTER THE CREDITS ABOUT 120 TO PUT TOWARDS IT. AND THE ARGUMENT CAN BE MADE, HEY, WE'RE WE'RE GIVING ADDITIONAL LAND. IT'S FLOODPLAIN, BUT IT'S IT'S THEY COULDN'T USE IT EITHER THOUGH. EXACTLY. SO WHAT WOULD PROBABLY HAPPEN IF THIS GETS TURNED DOWN BY COUNCIL. THE HOA WILL JUST KEEP THAT LAND. IT'LL PROBABLY JUST SIT JUST AS IS. SO. BUT EVEN IF WE TAKE IT, WE DON'T HAVE THE FEES TO DEVELOP IT. SO IT'LL JUST SIT. WE WE DO, WE IN OUR PARK IMPROVEMENT FEE ACCOUNT. WE DO HAVE DOLLARS IN THERE THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT 660. COUNCIL JUST MAY NOT BE EXCITED ABOUT SPENDING IT AT THIS TIME. RIGHT. 
          SO. WHAT WOULD THAT 660 GO TOWARDS? OKAY, SO ON THIS YOU CAN JUST SEE ESSENTIALLY AT THE OKAY AT THE BOTTOM KIND OF BOTTOM CENTER. SO WE KNOW. SO ALSO THE OTHER THING TO NOTE IS 380 IS EXPANDING, RIGHT? IT'S GOING TO GET, IT'S GOING TO EXPAND TO THE NORTH A LITTLE BIT. SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHERE THAT TREE SCREEN IS SHOWN. THAT'S ABOUT THE LINE WHERE 
          [00:30:05]
IT'S PROBABLY, I BELIEVE THAT'S WHERE 380 WILL GO UP TO, OR AT LEAST THE EASEMENT WILL GO. SO WHAT THAT WOULD GET YOU IS A SMALL PARKING LOT, A LOOP TRAIL. I'LL SEE IF YOU CAN SEE MY CURSOR. ISN'T THAT OKAY? SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WE'VE GOT A TRAIL THAT KIND OF MEANDERS INTO THE WOODS. KIND OF POKE OUT HERE. JUST THE VIEW. YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THE POND OR WHATEVER KEEPS GOING IN HERE. AND THEN SMALL BOARDWALK TO GET YOU RIGHT ON THE POINT. SO YOU CAN SEE MAYBE EVEN FISH FROM THERE. AND THEN JUST BASICALLY A LITTLE MORE WALKING ALONG THE EDGE OF THE, OF THE POND. JUST A LOOP TRAIL GETS YOU BACK. SO IT'S MAINLY SOME TRAILS, SOME BOARDWALK, MAYBE SOME INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE, PARKING LOT AND SOME LANDSCAPING, MAYBE A BIRDER'S PARADISE. IS IT THE ENTIRE TRAIL PAVED OR PORTIONS OF IT? DIRT. THIS ONE. I BELIEVE THERE'S A LOOP. IS THERE ANY SOFT SURFACE? I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT. ALONG THE SHORE THERE. STABILIZED SOIL OR ASPHALT TRAIL? YEAH. I MEAN, IT'S A NEAT IDEA TO HAVE NATURAL AREAS. OBVIOUSLY FRISCO IS GETTING READY TO OPEN GRAND PARK, AND IT'S MOSTLY A NATURAL PARK AND PEOPLE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. SO IT IS NICE TO HAVE A DIFFERENT KIND OF PARK. MY ONLY CONCERN IS THE POND ITSELF. I KNOW IF YOU ALL DON'T OWN, OWN OR MAINTAIN THE POND, LIKE HOW DO YOU TAKE FEEDBACK? OR IF YOU KNOW, PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT, LIKE WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR THAT? OR, YOU KNOW, IF YOU ARE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GO OUT AND FISH, BUT IT'S A POND THAT WE DON'T OWN OR MAINTAIN, HOW DOES THAT WORK? WELL, REALLY, AS FAR AS MOST LIKELY WHAT YOU WOULD GET COMPLAINTS ABOUT MIGHT BE ALGAE GROWTH. TRYING TO THINK WHAT WHAT OTHER CALLS DO YOU GET? JUST YEAH, TRASH. SO IF WE HAD TRASH FLOATING UP NEAR IT, WE WOULD PROBABLY GET DOWN THERE AND SCOOP IT AND DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO. THE MAINTENANCE WE'RE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT IS LIKE DREDGING. I THINK THIS POND IS HAS SOME SIGNIFICANT SILTATION ISSUES BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S EVER BEEN TOUCHED SINCE. 
          AND I DON'T REMEMBER HOW OLD THAT POND IS. IT IS MAN MADE. SO THAT WAS REALLY, THAT'S REALLY THE BIG THE BIG COST. SO WE WOULD DO OUR BEST TO WORK WITH THE SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT. IF IT IS LITTER OR SOMETHING FLOATING OVER. WE DO OUR BEST TO GET THAT CLEANED UP. 
          CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, OUR PARK ORDINANCE STATES THAT LAND DEDICATION BY DEVELOPERS IS TO BE USABLE PARK LAND. IS THAT A TRUE OR FALSE STATEMENT? I'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT. TYPICALLY, YES. I MEAN, I WOULD SAY YES. TYPICALLY WHEN WE'RE WE HAVE A DEVELOPER COMING IN AND WE KNOW THEY'RE BRINGING IN T 300 HOMES. THOSE FOLKS ARE GOING TO WANT A PLACE TO GO WALK THEIR DOG, GO TO FRISBEE PLAYGROUND, ALL THOSE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER, WHATEVER YOUR, YOUR CHOICE OF RECREATION WOULD BE. SO TYPICALLY WE WOULD NOT BE EXCITED ABOUT JUST THE FLOODPLAIN AREA THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO MAINTAIN AND OFFLOAD. SO THAT ARGUMENT CAN BE MADE FOR HERE TOO. YEAH, IT'S VERY, VERY LITTLE AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, THE DEFINITION OF USABLE, IF USABLE, IS WALKING AND BIKING AND THAT KIND OF THING. BUT YOU COULD ALSO ARGUE, HEY, YOU KNOW, THE BOARDWALK KIND OF POKES OUT THERE A LITTLE BIT. YOU CAN SIT OUT THERE, WATCH BIRDS, FISH, JUST HAVE A, A PRETTY PLACE TO GO. AND SO THE REASON I WAS ASKING, I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE 19, YOU KNOW, BUT ONLY 2.3 IS ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, HIGH AND DRIVE WHAT THEY THEY OH. SO THERE'S ANOTHER 7.7 WHICH IN THESE I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE AN OLD DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. AND THAT OBVIOUSLY GETS THINGS MORE TRICKY. PERSONALLY, I WOULD RATHER SEE THE DEVELOPER. THEY DON'T NEED TO COVER THE. I DON'T I'M NOT INTERESTED IN FORCING THEM TO COVER LIKE 660, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM COME A LITTLE BIT FURTHER WITH THE DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, I MEAN, WITH THIS PLAN, THE HOA IS OVER NORTHEAST. 
          SO THEY CAN'T EVEN USE THIS. IS THAT RIGHT? IT'S SO THE IT'S IT'S YEAH, IT'S ALMOST DUE EAST AND YOU'RE RIGHT, A LITTLE EAST AND NORTH. SO NO CONNECTIVITY. YEAH. I DON'T THAT WOULD HAVE TO MOW A TRAIL RIGHT. THERE IS SOME TRAIL BEING BUILT UP TO THE NORTH TO CONNECT INTO SOME OTHER TRAIL THAT'S OUT THERE. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS HAS A DIRECT CONNECTION FOR THE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WHEN WOULD I I'D LIKE TO SEE IS I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN SHORELINE TRAIL IN LITTLE ELM, BUT THIS REMINDS ME OF THAT, WHICH IS PRIMARILY DG I'D REALLY LOVE TO SEE. MAYBE 
          [00:35:02]
THE DEVELOPER DOESN'T HAVE TO FOCUS ON THIS PORTION RIGHT HERE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, BECAUSE THAT IS FOR THE REST OF PROSPER AND THE RESIDENTS, BUT MAYBE THEY CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO CONNECT FROM HERE TO THE HOA. THAT BEGINS A LOOP AROUND THE THE POND. JUST THAT'S JUST ME TALKING. I FEEL LIKE COUNCIL'S BEEN PRETTY CLEAR. AND I FEEL LIKE IF I VOTE FOR THIS, IT'S GOING TO COME BACK TO US HERE QUITE SOON. I UNDERSTAND THEY'RE IN A DIFFERENT THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM TALK US, TALK WITH YOU, TALK WITH THE DEVELOPER TO SEE IF WE CAN DO A LITTLE MORE. OKAY. YEAH, I AGREE WITH KYLE ON THAT. I THINK BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY 2.3 THAT ARE USABLE, THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF MONETARY VALUE ADDED TO THE 7.5, WHATEVER ACRES THAT THEY SHOULD BE GIVING US. AND I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA TO HAVE SOME CONNECTIVITY THERE. OKAY. YEAH. VERY CLOSE. WHAT WOULD YOU WHAT WOULD YOU FEEL WOULD BE AN ADEQUATE 50% OF THE PARK DEVELOPMENT COST? THAT WOULD BE I FEEL LIKE THAT'D BE GREAT. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, AND THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT, I'M ASSUMING THERE'S A SIDEWALK ADJACENT THERE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS ON THE PLAN ON THE MAIN ROAD AND THEN FIGURING OUT HOW WE CONNECT EAST WEST TO THAT SO THAT IT BECOMES SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN USE. OKAY, SO I'M HEARING, IF YOU ALL AGREE 50% CONTRIBUTION ON THE PARK DEVELOPMENT AND THEN SOME KIND OF WAY TO CONNECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THAT PARK. YEAH. 
          AND THEN IT'S MORE USABLE BECAUSE THE PARKING LOT WITH 15 SPACES, YOU KNOW, IT'S SMALL, IT'S SMALL. YEAH. BUT IF YOU ARE ABLE TO GET THERE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU'RE NOT NECESSARILY HAVING TO DRIVE THERE. THAT'S YOU'RE GOING TO GET MORE USE OUT OF IT. SO ARE YOU SAYING 380 IS GOING TO BE RIGHT ABUTMENT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE RED? YEAH. THAT'S WHAT. 
          OKAY. YOU SEE, YOU CAN SEE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. BUT YEAH, BUT I'M TRYING TO TRANSPOSE THE TWO SLIDES. THAT'S WHY I'M. YEAH, SURE. YEAH. AND SO SIDEWALK COULD, I GUESS, COME DOWN THAT ROAD AND THEN I DON'T KNOW, I THINK IT'D BE DOABLE. THEY MAY HAVE JUST TO LOOK AT THE GRADES THERE. THEY MAY HAVE TO BRIDGE IT OR RETAINING WALL OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE CONCRETE, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THE DG OR WHATEVER, JUST LIKE A SHORELINE IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE. I MEAN, PEOPLE RUN IT LIKE IT. IT'S GREAT. IT WORKS WELL IN A FLOODPLAIN. SO BUT IT IS MORE TO MAINTAIN SWAMP. YEAH. IF YOU GUYS HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG OF A TRAIL THAT IS, BUT IT IS MUCH MORE TO MAINTAIN. YEAH. ALL THAT RED. THAT IS JUST, YOU LOOK NORTHWEST FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BUILDING AREA. JUST WEST OF THERE WHERE THERE'S A ROAD THAT GETS. YOU CAN PARK YOUR CAR RIGHT THERE WHEN. WHEN YOU GET BACK, YOU CAN. AT LEAST. CONSTRUCT A SPILLWAY THAT'S ATTACHED IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT DAM. AND WAS ABLE TO HELP CLEAN SOME OF THAT OUT TOO. REALLY HELP BECAUSE THAT WHOLE DAM IS. SO WHENEVER THEY START FALLING OFF AND EVERYTHING STARTS TO GET SOMETHING TO FILL IT UP, IT JUST SITS THERE FOR WEEKS. SO NOT TOO BAD. THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          THINGS LIKE WHAT I PROPOSED WOULD ALSO BE ADEQUATE, YOU KNOW, WAYS TO CLEAN IT UP, IMPROVE IT. IT DOESN'T JUST HAVE TO BE SIDEWALKS, BUT MAKING IT USABLE AND AN ACTIVE AMENITY FOR THE COMMUNITY. WHERE'S THE CONNECTION PART FOR RUTHERFORD IN THE FUTURE? JUST CURIOUS. SO WE'D HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT. MAYBE POSSIBLY SEE WHERE THIS IS A SIGN POINTING THIS PROPERTY LINE. YOU COULD CONNECT INTO THE PARK THIS WAY OR, YOU KNOW, EVEN, EVEN MAYBE OFF THIS INTERNAL TRAIL HERE. SO THAT CENTER SECTION RIGHT THERE IS NOT THE FLOODPLAIN. 
          THAT'S ALL THE, THE FURTHER WEST YOU GO, THE HIGHER UP YOU ARE. SO MOST OF THAT 2.3 ACRES IS GOING TO BE ON THE WEST EDGE, WESTERN EDGE. YOU CAN SEE THE TOPO LINES, HOW KIND OF BETWEEN THE TWO INTERNAL TO THE LOOP. SO IT'S PRETTY GOOD. ALL SET. OKAY. ALFRED IS OUR GO WEST. 
          I'M SORRY, THE ROUTER. HOW FAR DOES IT GO? WEST. I'M ASSUMING THIS IS OUR PROPERTY LINE. THE 
          [00:40:05]
PLAN. SO HOW FAR WEST DOES IT GO? CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL. IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT A LARGE. AS FAR AS OUR PROPERTY. RUTHERFORD, RIGHT? YES. YEAH. RUTHERFORD PARK BUTTS RIGHT UP AGAINST. 
          THAT'S WHAT I MEANT, SIR. YES, SIR. YES, SIR. WE'RE GOING ON A DEVELOPMENT CALLED RICHARD. I JUST COOKED. SORRY. IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY. YOU'LL SEE. SO AS THAT RED KIND OF CURLS BACK AROUND, THAT'S. THAT'S ALL. THAT WOULD ALL BE BORDERING PROPERTY. SO. AND YOU GUYS CAN CHOOSE LIKE LIKE I SAID, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO DENY IT OR YOU CAN CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT BASED ON, AS WE TALKED ABOUT, A 50% CONTRIBUTION FROM THE DEVELOPER ACCESS, FROM THE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT TO THE PARK. AGREED UPON MAINTENANCE OF THE DAM. IF WE. IF WE DID, THE SECOND OPTION WOULD IT WOULD GO TO COUNCIL, I ASSUME, AND THEY WOULD SEE THAT AND BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO AT THAT POINT. SO WHAT I WILL DO ON THE 28TH, I'M GOING TO BRING THIS PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL PER THE WAY THE DEVELOPER HAS. HAS ASKED IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, I'LL DO ANOTHER SLIDE. PARKS BOARD WAS PRESENTED TO PARKS BOARD ON APRIL 9TH AND PARKS BOARD, IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT. BUT WITH YOUR CAVEATS. IS THERE AN OPTION TO TABLE IT UNTIL YOU HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS? AND THEN WE CAN SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE? OR IS THERE A TIMELINE THAT IS THERE A TIMELINE? YOU KNOW, THE DEVELOPER DEVELOPER IS READY TO GO, BUT IF YOU GUYS AREN'T PREPARED TO OR DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TONIGHT, WE CAN WE CAN TABLE IT. I'LL TALK TO MY BOSS TO SEE IF DOES HE STILL WANT TO SEE IT PRESENTED TO COUNCIL AND JUST AND LET THEM KNOW THIS WAS PRESENTED TO PARKS BOARD. THEY STILL WANTED TO THINK ABOUT IT. THEY HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THE THE THE LACK OF A MATCH. I GUESS AS FAR AS THE MONEY SIDE GOES AND CONNECTIVITY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO WE CAN DO ALL THOSE THINGS. I, I'M INCLINED TO, TO AGREE WITH KYLE THAT. 
          WELL, ABOUT THE, THE S THE S S PARK AREA. LIKE IT JUST IT JUST SEEMS REALLY ROUGH FOR PROSPER WHAT PROSPER LIKES TO I LOVE IT. I LOVE THE UNIQUENESS, YOU KNOW, THE THE NATUREY FEEL OF EVERYTHING, BUT I JUST HAVE A LOT OF CONCERN THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF UNKNOWN MAINTENANCE THAT WILL COME OUR WAY IN THE FUTURE. AND. MAYBE EVEN MORE THAN 50%, I DON'T KNOW. IS THAT UNREASONABLE TO SAY THEY NEED TO DEVELOP MORE THAN THAT? COUNCIL DIDN'T APPROVE CREEKSIDE UNTIL THE DEVELOPER. I'M NOT THINKING THEY'RE GOING TO WITH THE MONEY, SO I, I FEEL STRONGLY WE JUST NEED TO REJECT IT AND LET COUNCIL. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE DEVELOPER. AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT COUNCIL IN THE POSITION. I'D RATHER JUST SAY WE DON'T AGREE. AND YOU CAN CARRY. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, I GUESS WOULD BE I DON'T KNOW IF I EVEN WANT TO TABLE IT BECAUSE YEAH, IF YOU STILL IF WE TABLE IT, YOU'RE STILL TAKING IT TO COUNCIL. I'D RATHER JUST. NOPE. OKAY. AND I COULD JUST TELL. I CAN TELL COUNCIL PARKS BOARD DENIED IT BASED ON THE. THERE'S TOO MANY UNKNOWNS. IT NEEDS TO DEVELOPER MATCH. YEAH. LACK OF CONNECTIVITY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, CONCERNS ABOUT UNKNOWN MAINTENANCE. YEAH. IT'S A LOT OF MONEY TO PUT INTO A PARK. AND I THINK THE PERCEPTION FROM THE PUBLIC IS GOING TO BE THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO SEE WHAT THEY'VE SEEN IN THESE RECENT PARK OPENINGS, WHICH ARE BEAUTIFUL PARKS, RIGHT? THIS IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TYPE OF PARK, AND I THINK YOU HAVE TO SET THAT EXPECTATION AHEAD OF TIME BEFORE YOU'RE LIKE, WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THIS MUCH MONEY IN POND DREDGING, WHICH IS A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN PEOPLE THINK WHEN MAINTAINING THESE, THESE TRAILS THAT ARE LIKELY GOING TO FLOOD. IT'S JUST ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE CLIMATE RIGHT NOW WITH, YOU KNOW, NOT HAVING THE BOND ELECTION, NOT HAVING EXTRA FUNDS TO TO PUT TOWARDS THINGS LIKE THAT, I JUST. IS THERE A WAY YOU CAN FIND OUT LIKE, WHO'S IN CHARGE OF LIKE POND DREDGING? LIKE, IS THAT THE STATE THAT WOULD DO THAT? OR SO IT WOULD BE THE SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE. YEAH, THAT THAT WOULD BE THERE. THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN THE DAMS AND THE PONDS. AND WE TURNED DOWN THIS, LIKE I SAID, ABOUT THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO, THE PRIOR OWNER WANTED TO AND I DON'T REMEMBER, IT WAS ALL SALES SELLER'S PIECE OF IT AND DEDICATE PART OF IT. AND WE CHOSE WE CHOSE NOT TO BECAUSE WE WERE BECAUSE OF 
          [00:45:03]
THOSE CONCERNS. AND INITIALLY THEY DID. THIS DEVELOPER WANTED TO GIVE US THE DAM AND THE POND. 
          AND I TOLD THEM, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL YEARS AGO, COUNCIL WAS PRETTY ADAMANT THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT THAT. SO SO I THINK WHAT I'M HEARING IS, HEY, WE WANT TO DO A MOTION TO DENY THIS SPECIFIC REQUEST. AND IF THEY WANT TO BRING IT BACK LATER WITH THE. ABSOLUTELY BIGGER EFFORT THAN, THAN, WE'D BE WILLING TO LOOK AT THAT. OKAY, SO CAN I GET A MOTION? I HEAR A FIRST FROM KYLE AND A SECOND FROM DEB. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR WITH THE VISION ONE AND I A RIGHT FIVE ZERO. OKAY. I'M SORRY. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. NEXT ON THE IS TO RECEIVE STAFF 
          [7. Discuss and consider the May 2026 Park and Recreation Board meeting date.]

AS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW, TREVOR AND HIS WIFE HAD THEIR FIRST CHILD THIS PAST WEEK. SO I'VE GOT A LITTLE PICTURE AT THE END. I KIND OF RUINED THE SURPRISE. SO I'M FILLING IN FOR TREVOR. HE'S GOING TO SPEND A WEEK OR TWO HOME SOME PATERNITY LEAVE TO TO HELP THEM GET ADJUSTED. THEY WENT THEY GOT THEY GOT TO GO HOME. BABY WAS BORN ON THE FIFTH, WHICH WAS SUNDAY. I THINK IT WAS EASTER. IT WAS NICE. AND I THINK THEY WENT HOME YESTERDAY. SO THEIR, THEIR, THEIR. SO THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. THERE YOU GO. SO SO BE THINKING OF TREVOR AND HIS WIFE SIERRA. 
          OKAY. ANYWAYS, SO REALLY NOT A LOT TO GIVE YOU GUYS UPDATE ON. WE DID BEGIN SOME REGISTRATION THIS PAST MONDAY, SO WE'RE ALREADY GETTING CALLS FOR CAMPS AND CLASSES AND ALL THOSE GOOD THINGS. SO WE'RE OFF TO A REALLY GOOD START. I DON'T HAVE NUMBERS FOR YOU AND IT WILL IT'LL STAY STEADY FOR PROBABLY THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. WE DID HAVE OUR OUR FIRST P P TOWN THROW DOWN AT RAYMOND COMMUNITY PARK. IT WAS THE FIFTH TOURNAMENT WE'VE HOSTED, BUT IT IT WAS GREAT. IT WAS A CHILLY, KIND OF GLOOMY LOOKING DAY. SO WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT TURNOUT. 
          BUT WE DID HAVE 32 TEAMS. THAT'S MORE THAN I KNOW WE HAD LAST YEAR. SO I THINK IT'S IT'S BEEN CREEPING UP A LITTLE BY LITTLE. WE WERE ABLE TO IN THE PAST, WE'VE REALLY ONLY BEEN ABLE TO USE SIX COURTS BECAUSE WE WERE ALIGNING TENNIS COURTS AT THE, AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, REYNOLDS MIDDLE SCHOOL. SO THIS WE HAD EIGHT COURTS THAT WERE ALREADY SET UP. EVERYBODY WAS EXCITED. WE HAD NOTHING BUT GOOD FEEDBACK. SO REALLY GOOD WAY TO TO BREAK IN THE PICKLEBALL COMPLEX AT RAYMOND COMMUNITY PARK. SO WE JUST, I WAS OUT THERE FOR A COUPLE HOURS. STAFF DID GREAT AND JUST A LOT OF HAPPY PEOPLE. SO JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT. DID THAT SPILL OVER TO THE DID THEY USE LAKESIDE ALSO? DID THEY KNOW? SO WE WERE WE'VE BEEN KIND OF STRATEGIC AND CAREFUL. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING IN WANTING TO 
          [00:50:01]
TEACH LESSONS AND DO THIS AND DO THAT. AND WHEN WE ONLY HAD LAKEWOOD, WE WERE KIND OF PULLING BACK ON THAT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO TIE UP ANY COURTS BECAUSE I KNOW THEY'RE GETTING USED ALL THE TIME. I'M AMAZED I DRIVE BY THIS PARK MOST DAYS AND I'LL, I'LL DRIVE AT 130 IN THE PARKING LOT IS FULL. AND I'M LIKE, DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE JOBS? I DON'T KNOW, BUT THERE'S I MEAN, IT'S ALWAYS BUSY AND I SEE THE TENNIS COURTS BEING USED A LOT AS WELL. 
          SO. WE JUST KEEP WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF GOOD COMMENTS AND, YOU KNOW, USUALLY WE'RE HEARING COMPLAINTS OR WHAT HAVE YOU, BUT ABOUT JUST GENERAL THINGS. SO IT'S NICE WHEN IT'S LIKE, OH, WE LOVE THE COURTS AND THIS AND THAT. SO IT WAS A REALLY GOOD DAY. WE WERE VERY EXCITED. AND TREVOR, ALBERTO, ALYSSA DID NOT LEAVE ANYBODY OUT. I THINK THAT'S AND I WAS OUT THERE TO HELP A LITTLE BIT. BUT SO IT WAS WE WERE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. I'M GOING TO LEAD RIGHT. 
          I'M GOING TO ROLL RIGHT INTO THE PARK DEVELOPMENT SIDE. OKAY. YOU KNOW WE'RE STILL DOWN KURT. 
          SO I'M I'M GOING TO FILL IN FOR KURT. RANDY'S BEEN FILLING IN DOING A GREAT JOB. YOU GOT TO MEET HIM A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. HE'S BUSY RIGHT NOW. HE'S DOING HIS JOB AND A LOT OF KURT'S JOB TOO. BUT RAYMOND COMMUNITY PARK, WE'RE STILL WORKING ON INSTALLING SOD. THE FIELDS ARE ALL IN. WE'VE GOT A COUPLE AREAS THAT WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE STRATEGIC ABOUT NOT SORTING TOURS OUT OF THOSE AREAS. SO ONE IS WE DO HAVE THE THE WELL CONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY. AND SO THAT AREA WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAUL INSIDE, GO IN THERE AND TEAR IT UP, INSTALLING PUMPS AND WELLS AND ALL THAT. SO WHEN THE WELL IS DONE WE WILL FINISH THAT AREA. AND THAT'S KIND OF THE NORTHEAST PIECE OF THE PARK, MAYBE A LITTLE MORE NORTH NEAR WHERE ONE OF THE BRIDGE OR THE BRIDGE CROSSING IS. SO THAT'S, THAT'S GOING GREAT. WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH PUNCH LIST ITEMS. THE PAVILION IN THE CENTER OF THE BASEBALL FIELDS HAS BEEN VERY SLOW. THAT CONTRACTOR IS NOT HAS NOT BEEN THE ALL STAR CONTRACTOR THAT WE WERE HOPING HE WOULD BE. BUT THE CONSTRUCTION IS DOING A GREAT JOB MONITORING THEM AND, AND GIVING THEM SOME TIGHTER DEADLINES. SO THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH IT. YOU KNOW, THE IDEA IS STILL TO OPEN THE THE FIELDS PROBABLY IN AUGUST IS PROBABLY WE'RE LOOKING. BUT MATTIS TOLD ME THE TURF'S COMING IN. GREAT. 
          AND SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. SO IT JUST CONTINUES TO GO. THE PLAYGROUND'S OPEN AND BEING USED. THEY ARE WORKING ON. WE HAD THERE'S A DETENTION POND JUST TO THE EAST OF THE PLAYGROUND, KIND OF UP ALONG THAT NORTH, THAT NORTHERN AREA. THAT POND WAS HAVING SOME ISSUES, WHICH IS DRAINING. AND IT WAS GRADED. I THINK IT WAS BUILT JUST FINE. BUT OVER THE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF RAIN WE'VE HAD, THERE WAS SOME SILTATION. SO WE CAME IN, WE DID A LITTLE REDESIGN ON IT, AND THE CONTRACTOR IS RECREATING THAT RIGHT NOW SO THAT IT'LL DRAIN MORE EFFICIENTLY. AND, AND SO WE DON'T HAVE A LITTLE BOG OR WETLAND IN THERE. WE DON'T WANT THAT. SO BUT REALLY IT'S, IT'S STILL MOVING ALONG. SO WE'RE STILL EXCITED ABOUT IT. PAVON PARK, IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN DOWN BROADWAY UP THE HILL BY BY PAVON AND CHURCH BETWEEN PAVON AND CHURCH ROADS, HERE'S A PICTURE OF IT. THE TRAILS GOING IN, IF YOU'LL REMEMBER. IT'S JUST IT'S JUST BASICALLY A LOOP TRAIL, SOME PLAYGROUNDS, A LITTLE PICNIC AREA WITH PAVILION. SO WE KICKED THAT OFF ON MARCH 13TH AND WE'RE. RANDY SAID WE'RE ABOUT 20% DONE WITH CONCRETE IN THE GRADING. SO IT'S MOVING ALONG. THAT'S A VERY GOOD CONTRACTOR. WE'VE. 
          WE'VE USED HOME RUN CONSTRUCTION BEFORE, AND THEY'VE DONE A REALLY NICE JOB THERE. THEY CAN BE. THEY MOVE THROUGH PRETTY FAST AND AND GOOD QUALITY. SO, SO, SO FAR SO GOOD WITH THAT. I'M GOING TO TAKE A BREAK. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP PARK OPERATIONS WITH MATT FOR. I DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT FOR YOU GUYS. IT'S THE SAME EVERY YEAR. WE'RE SLAP DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THE SEASONS, STARTED MOWING EVERYTHING. SO WE'RE SPENDING A LOT MORE TIME AT RAYMOND THOUGH, REALLY TRYING TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO PUSH THE TURF AND GRASS. AND WE STARTED FERTILIZING. AND THEN UNFORTUNATELY, WE GOT THAT COLD SNAP FOR A FEW DAYS. SO THAT KIND OF BENT IT BACK A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT DIDN'T GET FREEZING. SO WE'RE OKAY, BUT WE'RE TOPDRESSING WITH SOME REAL HOT DARK MATERIAL. YOU CAN SEE THAT ABSORB MORE HEAT, MORE SUN, REALLY GET IT GOING AGAIN, FULL OF NUTRIENTS ON THE SOCCER FIELDS AND BASEBALL FIELDS. SO 
          [00:55:01]
THE GUYS WERE REALLY WORKING ON THAT. DEAN LINDA'S ONE OF HIS TRACTORS WHILE WE WERE DOING ALL THE OTHER STUFF AT THE SAME TIME. SO WE GOT A LOT GOING ON. ALL THE GUYS ARE REALLY LEARNING NOW HOW TO MAINTAIN THESE FIELDS BECAUSE THEY'RE DIFFERENT, THE FRONTIER. SO THESE GUYS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN USED TO ONE WAY. NOW WE'RE REALLY TRYING THEM ON A DIFFERENT WAY. ALL THE CLAY BASED FIELDS. SO IT'S GOOD FOR THEM. GETS ME BACK OUT THERE AND GET TO TEACH A LITTLE BIT AND SHOW THEM HOW TO DO STUFF. BUT THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH CONTRACTORS, GETTING ALL THE PLANT MATERIALS. WE FINISHED ALL THE MULCH AROUND TOWN LEGACY. WE HAD THE MEETING TODAY, THAT CONTRACTOR, THE WARRANTY IS UP. SO WE'LL MEET WITH THEM AGAIN NEXT WEEK. START GETTING LEGACY FROM PRAIRIE NORTH TO FIRST STREET. THAT SECTION BAD BAD TREES. A LOT OF PLANT MATERIAL DIED. THE IRRIGATION WAS THE MAIN PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY FINISHED THAT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER. 
          THEN WE HAD ALL THE POWER OUTAGES. WASN'T THEIR FAULT, BUT THEY WERE STILL UNDER THEIR UMBRELLA. SO A LOT OF PROBLEMS ON THAT. BUT WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM. THEY'RE GOING TO WORK WITH US. SO WE'LL REALLY START WORKING ON THAT NEXT WEEK. BUT YEAH, EVERYTHING MY LIST REALLY GOT TAKEN CARE OF. A LOT OF CONTRACT WORK THIS PAST FEW MONTHS, GETTING ALL THE FIRST STREET WE FINISHED, ALL THE ROCK, THE NEW LAYOUT OF ALL OUR LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND FINISHED ALL THAT. SO REALLY, I THINK IT'S LOOKING GOOD. STILL WORKING ON A LOT OF EQUIPMENT TO GET BACK. SOME OF IT'S OUT. WE. MY PRIORITY NOW IS TO GET INTO THE GOLF DISC GOLF AREA, REALLY MOW THAT. BUT THAT ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT WAS BROKE DOWN IS WHAT WE USED TO GET IN THAT BOTTOM LAND. SO WE'RE, WE'RE KIND OF BEHIND ON THAT. AND THEN FOR THOSE THAT REALLY GO TO ARBEN.A, THAT LITTLE GROUP OF GIRL SCOUTS THAT ALWAYS HAS BEEN THERE SINCE LITTLE BITTY, THEY WANT TO DO A PROJECT OUT THERE AT THE DISC GOLF COURSE. SO I'VE MET WITH THEM. THEY WANT TO REALLY KIND OF TAKE IT OVER AS THEIR LITTLE AREA FOR TRASH PICKUP AND BUILD SOME BIRDHOUSES, HANG THEM AROUND BLUE BLUE BIRDS, I THINK, AND OWL BOXES I BELIEVE IS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. SO I APPROVE THAT FOR THEM. GOT TO GO TALK TO THE GIRLS AND AND MAKE SURE THEY WEAR TICKS BECAUSE THE TICKS ARE OUT THERE. EXACTLY. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT I GOT GOING ON. I DID BRING JUST TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW I'VE GOT PAPERWORK OVER HERE IF WE WANT TO DISCUSS THE BUDGET ITEMS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST. I WON'T BORE YOU ALL WITH THAT UP HERE, BUT I DO HAVE THE STUFF THAT WAY. IF COUNCIL EVER TALKS, Y'ALL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'VE ASKED FOR AND TALKED ABOUT. IT'S REALLY ALL NON-DISCRETIONARY STUFF THAT REALLY HAS TO HAPPEN. WHETHER IT'S GOING TO BE THE CIP OR THE BOND MONEY OR SOMETHING. YOU KNOW, MONEY'S GOING TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE. SO IF Y'ALL WANT TO LOOK AT IT AFTER AFTERWARDS, YOU CAN. OKAY, SO THAT'S WHAT I GOT. I GOT MORE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU MATT. ALL RIGHT. NEXT IS PARKS DIRECTOR WITH DAN. 
          OKAY I'LL GO QUICK. SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR APPROVING THE MAY 13TH. SO WE DON'T NEED TO DISCUSS THAT. SO I GOT HIT UP ON MY WAY IN TO THIS ROOM THIS EVENING. AND SO I THINK MOST OF YOU KNOW, THE TOWN IS DOING A REALLY BIG PUSH FOR THE AMERICA. 250 JUST ALL THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS ARE PUTTING THINGS TOGETHER. I WAS ASKED TO ASK YOU ALL IF ANYONE WAS INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING TO PARTICIPATE IN A VIDEO. THE. AND THE MAYOR HAS KIND OF PUT TOGETHER A SERIES OF TOPICS AND JUST REALLY MOMENTOUS PERIODS OF TIME DURING AMERICA'S DEVELOPMENT. AND HE WANTED TO FOCUS WHAT I WAS TOLD ON TEDDY ROOSEVELT AND THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM. THEY WOULD TAKE THE VIDEO DURING THE MONTH OF MAY, AND THEY WOULD WORK AROUND YOUR SCHEDULE. SO IF THERE'S ANYBODY THAT'S SITTING UP HERE, IF NOT, WE'VE GOT TWO PEOPLE WE CAN VOLUNTEER THAT AREN'T HERE IF YOU WANT TO DO IT THAT WAY. BUT AND IF YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME TONIGHT. BUT IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE, I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN PROBABLY 30 MINUTES, AN HOUR. AND MARISSA SAID THEY WOULD WORK AROUND WHATEVER TIME AVAILABILITY YOU MIGHT HAVE. I HAVE NO IS THAT LIKE A QUESTION AND ANSWER KIND OF THING OR HOW'S THAT? HOW'S THAT? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FORM IS? NO, I HONESTLY DON'T. I THINK IT MIGHT BE THAT THEY SAY, YOU KNOW, THE MAYOR'S GOT HIS SCRIPT OR SPIEL AND AND IT MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW, DANIEL KNOX IS OUR, OUR PARKS BOARD CHAIR. AND AND HE'S GOING TO TELL YOU WHY NATIONAL PARKS ARE IMPORTANT OR WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT THEM. AND I'M SURE THEY 
          [01:00:04]
WILL BRIEF YOU BEFORE WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY. I DON'T THINK IT'S I DON'T THINK THEY'RE PUTTING ANYBODY ON THE SPOT. I'M GOOD WITH THAT. BUT I ALSO, IF THEY DO, I DON'T WANT YOU YELLING AT ME, SO. BUT MARISSA CAN GIVE YOU A LITTLE BETTER INFORMATION. SO ANYBODY INTERESTED OR DO YOU WANT TO GO HOME AND THINK ABOUT IT AND LET ME KNOW? I'D BE HAPPY TO DO IT. I THINK THEY SHOULD SEND US A SCRIPT, AND THEN WE SHOULD JUST DO IT BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING OR AFTER OUR NEXT MEETING. I CAN I CAN ASK THAT TOO. SO OKAY, SO WE ALL HAVE PARTS IF THEY WANT TO. I THINK THAT'D BE GREAT. ALL RIGHT. LET ME LET ME ASK HER IF SHE'D BE WILLING TO DO IT. JUST MAYBE AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR NEXT MEETING, OR MAYBE JUST A LITTLE BIT BEFORE AND AND GO FROM THERE. OKAY, I'LL LET HER KNOW. BUT IF FOR WHATEVER REASON, THAT'S A NO. 
          DANIEL, YOU DID I HEAR YOU VOLUNTEER? YEAH, I VOLUNTEER. OKAY. LET ME LET ME FIND OUT HOW SHE WANTS TO DO IT. I'D BE COOL IF IT WAS ALL YOU GUYS DOING. NO, I LIKE THAT. I LIKE EVERYBODY HAVING A PART. THAT WOULD BE FUN. I THINK, AND THE LAST THING I HAVE ALMOST, ALMOST THE LAST THING I HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT REALLY A PARKS PROGRAM ANYMORE. PROSPER INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT REACHED OUT TO US AND THEY WERE WANTING TO SHOWCASE SOME ARTISTS AND THEY'RE WORKING WITH CAITLIN. SO RIGHT NOW IT'S UP THE HILL IN BOYER PARK, WHICH IS WHAT'S NEXT TO OUR OFFICE. THEY'RE SHOWCASING, I THINK IT'S 12 OF. 
          ART STUDENTS AND KIND OF DOING A LITTLE MINI ART FESTIVAL, IF YOU WILL, AND THEY'VE GOT SOME MUSIC IN THE PARK. AND IF YOU GUYS, YOU GUYS ARE ALL WELCOME. I'M GOING TO HEAD UP THE HILL HERE AFTER THIS AND GO SPEND A LITTLE TIME. JUST GO SEE WHAT THE KIDS ARE DOING. BUT IT'S SOMETHING I THINK WOULD BE VERY COOL ACTIVITY TO KEEP PUSHING ON IN THE FUTURE. AND AGAIN, CAITLIN, WHO'S NOW COMMUNICATIONS, BUT STILL OUR EVENT PERSON, SHE AND I SAT DOWN AND KIND OF CAME UP WITH A QUICK ROUGH SKETCH ON THIS AND PRESENTED IT TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THEY WERE ALL ABOUT IT. AND SO ANYWAYS, IT'S, I GUESS IT'S, IT'S YOUTH ART MONTH. SO RIGHT NOW, SO JUST WANTED TO KIND OF COLLABORATION WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND I THINK IT'LL BE PRETTY NEAT. I SAW HIM SETTING UP ON MY WAY OVER. SO AS SOON AS, AS SOON AS YOU GUYS ARE DONE WITH ME TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO I'M GOING TO HEAD UP THERE. SO YOU'RE ALL INVITED TO COME UP. LAST THING I HAD, I JUST WANTED TO AS I SAID BEFORE, TREVOR SENT THE PICTURE OVER. SO NOAH DEAN HELTON, BORN ON APRIL 5TH, 6 POUNDS, FOUR OUNCES. BUT I WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU GUYS. SO IF YOU WANT. HE TOLD ME TO SAY HELLO TO EVERYBODY, BUT THAT'S REALLY IT FOR US. HE IS NOW GOING TO BE BUSY. YES, YES. ALRIGHT. THANKS DIANA, I 
          [9. Request for future agenda items. ]
APPRECIATE IT. ALRIGHT. NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS REQUEST FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY? I HAVE A REQUEST. EVEN THOUGH IT WILL BE MAYBE A MOOT POINT FOR YOU, DAN, IF WE DO HAVE FUTURE AGREEMENTS TO CONSIDER, IF WE COULD GET INFORMATION AHEAD OF TIME TO REVIEW IT, I THINK IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR US TO COME TO A DECISION OR A QUICKER DECISION IF WE HAVE SOME MORE LEAD TIME ON THOSE. THAT'S EASY TO DO. YES. OKAY. I KNOW IT'S NOT ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, BUT WHEN WHEN YOU CAN. AND THEN I MY SECOND QUESTION TO FOLLOW UP ON WAS ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION FROM OUR LAST MEETING ABOUT PRIORITIZING THE FUNDS FROM THE 2020 BOND PROGRAM? SO NOTHING NEW ON THAT RIGHT NOW. WE DID MEET WITH. ARE STILL CONSIDERING POTENTIAL POTENTIAL OF MAYBE DOING SOME PLANS FOR A FUTURE PARK. I KNOW THAT WAS NOT HIGH ON THIS LIST, OR AT LEAST AT LEAST STOP MORE OF LIKE A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN.
