THAT'S IT. SO THE PLAN IS WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS OUT TO WHERE OUR DISC GOLF COURSE IS. IT'S

[00:05:08]

MOST OF THE PICTURES SHOW THEM THAT WAY. WHAT THEY NEED IS LIKE A CLEAR ENTRANCE PATHWAY TO COME TO THE OWL BOX. AND, AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE FINE. THERE'S ALSO BEEN SOME THAT HAD SOME SORT OF LIKE A CHAIN SYSTEM IF THERE WAS A BRANCH, BUT I JUST PERSONALLY, I WOULD THINK IF IT WAS WINDY AND IT STARTED SWINGING, THE OWLS MAY NOT FEEL SECURE IN THEIR. SO I THINK A POST OR A TREE TRUNK WOULD BE THE BEST. OKAY, GREAT. WHICH ONE DO YOU RECOMMEND? TREES. OKAY, SHE'S SAYING THE GIRLS DID A GREAT JOB RESEARCHING IT. YEAH, I THINK LIKE STRONGER, THICKER TREES BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT EDITORIALS JUST FACING EVERYTHING. YES YES, YES. SO YOUR BLUEBIRD IS FACING THEM WHERE THEY CAN SEE THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE. SO NICE. NO, NO, THE BIGGER PART IS ON THE TOP. YEAH. SO. SO BLUEBIRD, DO Y'ALL WANT TO EXPLAIN THE FUNCTION OF LIKE, WHY THE BIG FLAT PART IS UP TOP? SO THE TOP, IT BASICALLY LIKE SHADES THE BOX AND HELPS LIKE COOL DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE BOX FOR THE BLUEBIRDS BECAUSE THE SUN WILL BE SHINING DOWN ON TOP OF IT AND IT WILL BE TOO HOT. AND THEN IT'LL BE ABLE TO FEEL LIKE SPIRITUALLY THE HOUSE JUST GO DOWN THE SIDEWALK FOR CLEANING. WE HAVE REMOVABLE NAILS, SO THAT WAY THE REST OF THE STAPLE GUN AND THEN THE HOLE FOR OUR STUDENTS. THERE'S A LITTLE VENT AREA UP AT THE TOP OF THE BLUEBIRD HOUSES TO KEEP THE AIR CIRCULATING. WELL, AND I THINK THE LARGE TOPS ALSO WOULD HELP KEEP RAIN OUT. YEAH, I COULDN'T HEAR EVERYTHING YOU SAID, SO YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SIT IN. SO WHAT IS WHAT KIND OF A MAINTENANCE OR HOW OFTEN DO YOU GO AND CHECK ON THE BOXES? WHAT, WHAT IS I WOULD THINK A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR, YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO CHECK DURING THE SPRING BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THEY'RE LAYING EGGS. AND SO YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO DISTURB THEM, BUT MAYBE TOWARD THE END OF THE SUMMER AND THEN TOWARD THE END OF WINTER, OKAY, WOULD PROBABLY BE THE TWO TIMES A YEAR TO CLEAN OUT. I HAVE BLUEBIRD BOXES AT MY HOUSE AND THEY'RE VERY LOW MAINTENANCE. NEVER HAD THEM. SO AND THEY'RE ALL MADE WITH CEDAR. AND THIS IS EXTERIOR PLYWOOD, SO IT SHOULD NOT BE HARMFUL TO THE HOUSE, BUT IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND THAT WEATHER ELEMENTS. WELL, I APPRECIATE Y'ALL. I APPRECIATE Y'ALL. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM? WELL DONE, WELL DONE A GREAT JOB.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING. APPRECIATE Y'ALL COMING AND SHARING WITH WITH US TODAY.

WE'LL TAKE EVERYTHING BACK OUT. HEY MATT, WHEN Y'ALL GO TO PUT THOSE UP, GIVE US A JINGLE.

MAYBE WE CAN COME UP. DO OKAY. YEP. Y'ALL WANT TO DO A PICTURE REAL FAST? YEAH. TAKE A PICTURE.

NO. DO A PICTURE WITH THEM. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. YOU WANT TO STICK THEM DOWN THERE? YOU WANT

[00:10:04]

Y'ALL GO UP THERE SO WE CAN SEE WITH THE. BOXES AND WE. JUST SMILE. 123. COME ON MAN. YOU WANT TO SAY I REMEMBER HIM AS A TEENAGER? THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. OKAY. OKAY. YOU GOT TO GUIDE ME. THIS MORNING. OH MY GOSH. ALL RIGHT. NEXT WE HAVE CONSIDER AND ACT UPON REVISIONS

[5. Consider and act upon revisions to the Park Facility Agreement for Legacy Gardens. ]

THEY'RE ALREADY ADJACENT TO A SCHOOL AND ANOTHER DEVELOPER'S PARK. SO IT'S REALLY NOT NEEDED IN THAT AREA. SO THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED. THEY WOULD ESSENTIALLY INSTEAD OF DEDICATING LAND TO US, THEY WOULD PAY WHAT THE LAND VALUE WOULD BE. AND SO THAT WORKS INTO THEIR THEIR PAYMENT TO THE TOWN. THAT TOTAL WINDS UP BEING A LITTLE OVER 1.3 MILLION BECAUSE AND LET ME BACKTRACK ON THAT. THEY ARE GIVING US ABOUT HALF AN ACRE, WHICH IT'S JUST KIND OF HOW THE THE LAND WAS DIVVIED UP. THIS LAND HAPPENS TO BE ADJACENT TO CREEKSIDE PARK, SO WE WOULD HAVE HAD A SITUATION WITHOUT THIS WHERE YOU'VE GOT THE ONE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S MAINTAINING THE PARK AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS GOING ON, AND THIS LITTLE SLIVER OF LAND THAT WOULD BE ON A DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT OR OR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. SO THE TWO DEVELOPERS GOT TOGETHER, CAME TO AN AGREEMENT. SO, SO THIS ACTUALLY WORKS OUT GREAT FOR THE TOWN.

ALL RIGHT. SO IT DOES ADD ABOUT A HALF ACRE, BUT IT'S ALSO JUST ESTHETICALLY GOING TO LOOK SO MUCH BETTER WITH THAT WITH THAT ADDITION. SO THEY DO GET SOME CREDIT FOR THAT. SO LEADS US TO 1.351 MILLION. BEFORE WE START TALKING ABOUT ALL THE TRAILS ARE GOING TO BUILD. THEY'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING A LITTLE OVER TWO MILES WITH THE TRAIL IN AND AROUND THE COMMUNITY.

SOME OF IT'S ON OUR, OUR HIKE AND BIKE MASTER PLAN. SOME OF IT IS NOT, BUT STILL ELIGIBLE FOR CREDIT. SO WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THAT, YOU JUST SAW THE TOTAL PARK FEE IN LIEU OF.

THAT'S INSTEAD OF LAND AT 1.3. THEY'VE GOT THE. IT'S THE. THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FEES BASED ON

[00:15:01]

AND THEN THERE'S AN OLD PIECE OUT THERE. SO WHEN THE HOPE, HOPE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH, I BELIEVE HIS NAME, THEY HAD PUT SOME MONEY IN ESCROW AND FOR WHEN THE DEVELOPERS CAME IN AROUND THE CHURCH, DIDN'T WANT TO BUILD THE TRAIL CONNECTION. SO THEY PUT UP WHAT THEY OWED IN AN ESCROW ACCOUNT. THEY'RE COMING IN AND THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD THAT. SO THEY GET THAT MONEY, BUT THEY'RE ALSO GETTING CREDIT FOR ABOUT $50,000 BECAUSE IT'S TRAIL COSTS ABOUT 83, 84 GRAND. THEY'RE GETTING THIS 35 BACK. I'M SORRY, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT IS ACTUALLY 48,000 IN THE ESCROW AGREEMENT, THE TRAIL COSTS A LITTLE OVER 83, 84,000. SO THERE'S A DELTA THERE OF 35, WHICH THEY DO GET CREDIT FOR BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE WHAT THEY'RE PUTTING INTO IT. SO THAT LEAVES $1,185,334. THAT WILL BE GIVEN TO THE TOWN THAT CAN BE USED FOR PARK ENHANCEMENTS. AND IF YOU REMEMBER, IT WAS PROBABLY A COUPLE MONTHS AGO WHEN WE DID PRESENT THE CREEKSIDE PARK, AND IT'S BASICALLY A SEVEN NOW, WILL BE SEVEN AND A HALF ACRE PARK. AT THE TIME, THE DEVELOPER WAS PAYING FOR THE ENTIRE THING, BUT THEY JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE FUNDS. THEY REALLY DIDN'T OWE THE TOWN ANY MORE THAN JUST TO BUILD BASICALLY GRADE THE LAND, PUT IN IRRIGATION, GRASS, TREES. SO AT THAT POINT, YOU, YOU ALL HAD TOLD ME, WE'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE THAT PARK GET AMENITIZED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. SO WHAT STAFF ARE RECOMMENDING IS THAT WE USE PART OF THAT ONE POINT, ALMOST $1.2 MILLION TO DO THAT, TO PUT IN A PLAYGROUND, PAVILION, BACKSTOPS. ANYTHING ELSE WE SEE THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THAT PARK? SO THAT'S REALLY ALL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ON THAT SLIDE. NOW YOU'LL SEE WHAT WHERE ALL THESE PIECES ARE COMING TOGETHER. SO THAT'S THE SLIVER. IT'S ABOUT A HALF ACRE ADJACENT TO CREEKSIDE PARK. SO WE GLADLY ACCEPT THAT AND ADD THAT TO THE PARK. THESE YOU CAN SEE THE THE BOLDED SECTIONS OF TRAIL. THESE ARE TRAILS THAT WE WOULD THAT WE GIVE 100% REIMBURSEMENT FOR. SO BASICALLY THE COST OF THOSE TRAILS WILL COME OFF AND THEY HAVE TO PROVE THAT UP. ONCE THEY BUILD THEM, THEY WILL SUBMIT TO THE TOWN ALL THE BILLS, WHAT IT COST TO DO THIS. AND WE GIVE 100% CREDIT ON THOSE, THIS, THIS SLIDE, THIS IS WHERE WE GIVE PARTIAL CREDIT BECAUSE THERE'S ALREADY TRAIL THAT THEY'RE REQUIRED TO PUT IN. AND THAT WOULD EITHER BE IN SOME INSTANCES, IT'S FIVE FOOT, SOME INSTANCES SIX FOOT. WE WILL PAY FOR THE UPSIZE. SO AS A, AS PARK PROFESSIONALS AND PARK PLANNERS, WE TYPICALLY DON'T LIKE ANYTHING MORE NARROW THAN EIGHT FOOT. SO THERE'S A SERIES OF DIFFERENT. BUT SOME OF THIS IS EIGHT FOOT. SOME OF IT'S TEN FOOT. THERE MIGHT EVEN BE ONE THAT WAS 12 FOOT. BUT ANYWAY, SO THIS IS WHERE WE GIVE THE PARTIAL CREDIT. SO IF IF THEY'RE REQUIRED TO PUT A SIX FOOT TRAIL IN, THEY SAY, WELL, WE WANT TO MAKE IT A TEN FOOT.

WE WILL GIVE THEM CREDIT ON THAT EXTRA FOUR FEET OF CONCRETE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO COST. SO STILL A GOOD DEAL FOR THE TOWN. AND THEN THIS IS THE THE CHURCH TRAIL THAT THEY'RE PICKING UP AND ESSENTIALLY GOING TO BUILD FOR THE CHURCH. NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN READ THAT. I PROBABLY BARELY CAN, BUT THIS IS JUST A LISTING OF EACH TRAIL SEGMENT.

EVERYTHING THAT COMES UP TO THEIR, THEIR GRAND TOTAL FOR THEIR CREDITS OF THE $535,000.

AND I DON'T KNOW. SO REALLY, THAT WAS IT. LAST TIME I CAME IN, WE SHOWED ONLY JUST LESS, SOME LESS CREDIT. BUT I ALSO DIDN'T EXPLAIN THE ADDITIONAL LAND AND THE AND ALL THE TRAIL PICTURE. SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS THAT YOU APPROVE THEIR PARK DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO REALLY CREATE SOME GREAT TRAIL CONNECTIONS, EXPAND THE PARK A LITTLE BIT. AND THEN ALSO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE, THE CASH COMING IN TO YOU TO DO SOME OTHER THINGS IN OUR PARK SYSTEM.

WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. I HAVE ONE QUESTION. JUST TO CLARIFY THE MATH. IF YOU COULD GO BACK A COUPLE SLIDES. YEAH, YOU WANT THAT. THAT ONE. YEAH. SO IT'S 1.185 MILLION. AND THEN THE IMPROVEMENTS WERE WHAT 700,000 ON THE NEXT SLIDE. OKAY. SO I'M SORRY. SO I COULD I SHOULD EXPLAIN THIS BETTER. SO THE CREEKSIDE DEVELOPER. SO IT'S NOT THIS PARK DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, BUT WHEN THE CREEK CREEKSIDE PARK WAS DONE WITH THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT WE PRESENTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, THE TOTAL COST FOR THAT PARK WAS 710,000. THE THE DEVELOPER REALLY WAS ONLY ON THE SHOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN ON THE HOOK FOR

[00:20:08]

EXCUSE ME. THE COUNCIL COULD SAY WE'RE GREAT WITH THIS, BUT WE'RE NOT READY TO PUT THE MONEY IN THAT PARK OR WE HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS FOR THE 1.3. OKAY. BUT WHAT I WILL TELL THEM IS IF YOU STILL FEEL THAT SAME WAY, IS THAT, HEY, WHEN WE APPROVE CREEKSIDE PARK AGREEMENT, I TOLD YOU AT THAT POINT, THE PARKS BOARD REALLY WANTED TO SEE THAT AND NOT SIT THERE IDLY. RIGHT. SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. PERFECT. AND WHEN YOU SAY HOPE TRAIL, THAT'S STILL PART OF THE TOWN'S TRAIL SYSTEM OR DO THEY OWN AND MAINTAIN IT? SO IT'S IT'S ON THEIR PROPERTY, BUT THEY WEREN'T IN A POSITION TO, TO BUILD THAT TRAIL. SO WHEN THEY DID THEIR DEVELOPMENT, THEY DO THE SAME THING. THEY COME IN, THEY OWE. IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, BUT THEY STILL OWE IMPACT FEES AND PARK FEES. AND SO AT THAT TIME, THE AGREEMENT WAS THEY'RE LIKE, HEY, WE DON'T REALLY BUILD TRAILS. SO THAT MONEY. SO WE WOULD JUST PUT THAT MONEY INTO AN ESCROW ACCOUNT SO THAT WHEN ANOTHER DEVELOPER COMES IN, IN THIS CASE, THESE FOLKS WILL COME IN AND THEY'VE AGREED TO, YEAH, JUST GIVE US THE MONEY THAT WAS SET ASIDE. WE'LL BUILD WHAT WE NEED TO BUILD. AND THEN ANYTHING IN EXCESS OF WHAT THAT MONEY, WHAT IT COSTS, WHAT'S LYING THERE, THEY WOULD GET CREDIT FOR IT. PERFECT. THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS. SORRY. OH YOU'RE GOOD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. WELL I SORRY QUESTION. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE TRAILS? BECAUSE I SAW LIKE SOME SCHOOLS THAT WERE CONNECTED THERE. DID THE SCHOOLS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY. I THINK THE NEXT ONE OR. WELL YES. THIS ONE. YEAH. THE ELEMENTARY AND THEN THE ONE THAT'S BY THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. SO I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM ALSO SUPPORTS THE, THE TRAIL OR, OR IS THAT NOT SCHOOL PROPERTY RIGHT THERE TO THAT? SO THAT SHOULD NOT BE WHERE IT'S, IT'S EITHER GOING TO BE ALONG THE, THE TOWN'S EASEMENT. MOST LIKELY NOW THEY'LL BE MAINTAINING THAT PIECE OF IT. EITHER THAT OR THE DEVELOPMENT WILL. SO WE HAVE NOT TALKED WITH THE SCHOOL, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT'S PART OF WHAT'S ON OUR MASTER PLAN OR IN THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS. SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE FINE WITH IT.

THEY'RE GOING TO LOVE IT. IT'S IT'S IT'S PROVIDING A SAFE PASSAGE FOR THEIR STUDENTS TO, TO COME AND GO. I THINK, I THINK FOR MAINTENANCE, WHY WOULD THAT BE THEIR PROPERTY? BECAUSE I KNOW IT KIND OF DIFFERS THAT FRONTIER FOR THAT. YEAH. SO A LITTLE DIFFERENT SINCE IT'S NOT REALLY ON ON A PARK. SO THIS WOULD BE I LIKEN THIS TO BEING IN YOUR FRONT YARD. YOU HAVE A SIDEWALK THAT GOES BETWEEN THE CURB AND YOUR HOME, RIGHT? YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF KEEPING THAT THING CLEAN OR CLEAR AND EDGED. THE TOWN STILL HAS ANYWHERE FROM 4 TO 6FT OF AN EASEMENT IN YOUR YARD. SO THAT'S WHERE ALL YOUR UTILITIES ARE ON AND ALL THOSE THINGS. SO IT'S KIND OF A SIMILAR SITUATION. YOU'RE EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T TECHNICALLY OWN THAT PIECE, YOU LIVE THERE, YOU MAINTAIN IT. SO THIS WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THAT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, NO. OKAY. SO I THINK WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PARK DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR LEGACY GARDENS. CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE? MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. OKAY, VALERIE. AND THEN CARRIE WILL BE THE SECOND. ALL THOSE IN

[00:25:03]

[6. Consider and act upon revisions to the Park Facility Agreement for Mirabella. ]

HE IS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT GROUP, AND I THINK HE'D LIKE TO SAY A COUPLE THINGS ONCE I KIND OF GO THROUGH THIS. SO WHAT WE DECIDED WAS AT THE TIME, I THINK, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WAS NECESSARILY AGAINST WHAT WE WERE PROPOSING EXCEPT FOR THE COST. AND IT WAS JUST LIKE, HEY, WE'RE NOT READY TO APPROVE THAT. SO I SHARED THAT WITH ANDRE AND HIS TEAM AND HE SAID, WELL, I'D LIKE TO BRING THIS BACK AND LET'S JUST LET'S JUST LOOK AT IT AS A LAND DONATION AND NOT PUT ANY STIPULATION ON THE PARK. SO I'M BRINGING IT BACK. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF THE SAME THINGS, BUT I WANT TO RUN THROUGH IT AND LET ANDRE GIVE YOU A COUPLE COUPLE WORDS. I KNOW, LET'S SEE. WE'LL JUST LET ME GO THROUGH THE SLIDES REAL QUICK. AND THEN I CAN TRY TO DEFER TO OR REFER TO SOME OF THOSE COMMENTS FROM LAST MONTH. SO YOU CAN SEE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF TOWN ADJACENT TO THE RUTHERFORD PARK PROPERTY. OKAY. SO ESSENTIALLY, BASED ON ALL THE CALCULATIONS, THE DEVELOPER HAS AN OBLIGATION TO DEDICATE NINE AND A HALF ACRES OF LAND, OR THEY CAN PAY THE FEE IN LIEU. THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO THE LAND DONATION. AND AS I TOLD YOU LAST TIME, THIS REALLY IS NOT A TYPICAL PARK. THIS IS. AND WE'VE GOT SOME EXAMPLES OF SOME SOME OTHER THINGS. SO GOING EXACTLY PER ORDINANCE, THIS IS WE'RE IN A LITTLE BIT OF A GRAY AREA BECAUSE HOW THE HOW THE TOWN HAS LOOKED AT THINGS LIKE THIS IN THE PAST, IF IT'S A REALLY UNIQUE OR REALLY COOL OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, THEN WE'VE GOT SOME I, ME AS THE PARKS DIRECTOR HAS THE ABILITY TO SAY, YEAH, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA AND BRING IT TO YOU ALL. AND THEN THE COUNCIL. SO ORDINARILY IT WOULD BE WE WOULD REQUIRE A NINE AND A HALF ACRES OF HIGH AND DRY LAND IF IT WAS A TYPICAL NEIGHBORHOOD PARK. IN THIS INSTANCE, THEY ARE PROPOSING TO GIVE US 19.4 ACRES. HOWEVER, ONLY 2.3 OF IT IS HIGH AND DRY. NOW, WHEN WE SIT DOWN WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, WE CAN GIVE CREDIT FOR FLOODPLAIN.

SOMETIMES WE DO, SOMETIMES WE DON'T. SOMETIMES IT'S JUST A. IT'S NOT REALLY DOING ANYTHING FOR US. IN THIS CASE. THIS REALLY GIVES US A SUPER NICE SETTING AND I'LL SHOW THE PICTURES AGAIN. WE'VE GOT 1100 FOOT OF SHORELINE. AND ALSO IN THIS IN THIS CASE RUTHERFORD PARK, WHICH HONESTLY, I THINK THE TOWN RIGHT NOW IS 5050. THAT'S EVER GOING TO GET DEVELOPED AS A PARK. IT WAS PUT IN PLACE INITIALLY. IT'S ON OUR IT'S ON OUR PARK MASTER PLAN.

BUT THAT REALLY WAS DEDICATED TO PUT IN PLACE TO DO OUR BEST TO, TO PUSH THE 380 BYPASS OUTSIDE OF OUR TOWN LIMITS. AND IT WAS SUCCESSFUL. RIGHT NOW, RUTHERFORD SITS THERE, IT'LL PROBABLY BE A PARKING LOT, SOCCER FIELD PAVILION ADJACENT TO 380. IT MAY NOT BE THE MOST DESIRABLE PARK OR MOST USED PARK. MY OPINION IS BECAUSE THIS THIS LAND THAT THEY WOULD BE DEDICATING. I'LL BRING UP THE MAP HERE IN A MINUTE, BUTTS RIGHT UP AGAINST IT. SO IT WOULD EXPAND ON WHAT WE HAVE AT RUTHERFORD PARK AND GIVE A SUPER COOL. THAT'S A TECHNICAL TERM. SUPER COOL. OPPORTUNITY FOR JUST WILDLIFE NATURE, KIND OF, YOU KNOW, I, WHEN I SEE THIS, I THINK OF LIKE THE FLORIDA EVERGLADES OR THINGS LIKE THAT WHERE WE COULD LATER ON, IF AND AGAIN, COUNCIL WOULD APPROVE THIS, COME IN, BUILD SOME BOARDWALKS, DO SOME OUTLOOKS, WE COULD GO OUT, WATCH BIRDS, MAYBE FISH, DO WHATEVER, JUST HAVE A WALK BACK THROUGH THE THE WOODS. AND SO WHAT COULD IT POTENTIALLY FLOOD AT TIMES? SURE. WE HAVE PARKS WITH FLOODPLAIN AND WE BUILD TRAILS AND WE DO ALL THOSE THINGS. SO IF WE GET A BAD RAIN OR FLOODS, THE PARK MAY BE OUT OF COMMISSION FOR A WEEK OR TWO UNTIL WE CAN GET THOSE TRAILS CLEARED OFF. BUT IT'S AND WE WOULD IF WE DID SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES, MORE OF THE BOARDWALK THAT WOULD GET ELEVATED, WE WOULD GET THAT AS HIGH AS WE COULD. BUT IT JUST ORDINARILY, IF THIS WAS JUST AN AVERAGE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE BRINGING.

I WOULD HAVE TOLD THEM, I DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE MEETING THOSE THOSE AGREEMENT OR, OR ORDINANCE, BUT I WILL TELL YOU 19.5 OR 19.4 ACRES BACK OUT TO 2.3. THAT LEAVES THEM 7.2 LEFT.

THEY STILL HAVE 17 ACRES OF FLOODPLAIN. IF I WOULD GIVE AND I IN THIS INSTANCE, I WOULD DEFINITELY GIVE THEM HALF CREDIT. SO THERE'S STILL MEETING OR EXCEEDING THEIR

[00:30:02]

[00:35:04]

BUT REALLY THE MAIN AMENITIES WITHIN MIRABELLA ARE THE BEAUTIFUL PARKS AND, AND THE NATURE THERE AND THE LARGE LOTS. AND SO WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, WE'RE DOING SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL IN TERMS OF WHAT WE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE TOWN. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A UNIQUE PIECE OF LAND, KIND OF AS AS DAN HAS GONE THROUGH. AND, YOU KNOW, WE HEARD THE FEEDBACK AND WE'VE ALSO KIND OF HEARD THE FEEDBACK IN DIFFERENT COUNCIL MEETINGS WHERE WE UNDERSTAND THAT COUNCIL IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT DEVELOPERS COMING IN AND SAYING, THIS IS HOW YOUR PARK'S GOING TO LOOK, AND THIS IS WHERE WE'RE BUILDING IT. AND WHEN WE'RE BUILDING IT. AND COUNCIL IS REALLY PUSHED FOR MORE CONTROL OVER WHAT GETS BUILT, WHERE IN TERMS OF WHAT, YOU KNOW, MAKES THE MOST SENSE FOR THE TOWN. AND SO WE THINK, YOU KNOW, KIND OF HEARING THAT WE CAME BACK AND WE, WE TALKED TO STAFF AND REALLY THE IDEA IS LET'S GET THIS REALLY UNIQUE PIECE OF LAND THAT CAN BE ACTIVATED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS, A VARIETY OF NOT THAT EXPENSIVE WAYS. IF YOU'RE REALLY TRYING TO KEEP IT NATURAL, LIKE ARBOR HILLS, LIKE GRAND PARK. BUT LET'S NOT PUT ANY OBLIGATION ON, OKAY, WE'RE AGREEING TO SOME PLAN NOW, AND THIS HAS TO BE DONE BY THIS TIME. LET'S PROVIDE THE TOWN, THE LAND AND LET THE TOWN DECIDE, YOU KNOW, IF AND WHEN THEY WANT TO ACTIVATE IT AND HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO ACTIVATE IT, AND THEN REALLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT, THAT RUTHERFORD PIECE THAT ON ITS OWN DOESN'T MAKE A TON OF SENSE. BUT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS LAND CREATES, YOU KNOW, A REALLY NICE PARKING AREA TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT INTO THE NATURE. AND SO I WANTED TO PROVIDE A FEW COMMENTS THERE AND, YOU KNOW, OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS ON, ON ANY OF THIS, BUT WE'RE REALLY, REALLY EXCITED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THIS, THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS BECAUSE WE THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY HAVING THIS LAND WITH THE TOWN IS GOING TO BE THE BEST USE FOR THE LAND. BUT AGAIN, WE'RE NOT SAYING BUILD THIS PARK THAT COSTS THIS MUCH.

BY THIS TIME, WE REALLY WANT TO LEAVE IT TO THE TOWN TO DECIDE. AND THE LAST THING I'LL SAY IS, IS IN LOOKING AT THE ORDINANCE, THE REAL BIG FOCUS ON THE DEDICATION LAND IS USABILITY.

USABILITY AND ACCESS ARE KIND OF TWO BIG POINTS IN THE ORDINANCE. AND, YOU KNOW, WHILE, YOU KNOW, PARTS OF THIS LAND ARE FLOODPLAIN, IT'S USABLE FOR THIS PURPOSE. AND SO, AND THEN IN TERMS OF ACCESS BEING RIGHT OFF 380, THAT'S, THAT'S FANTASTIC ACCESS. AND AS DAN WAS TALKING ABOUT ON THE, YOU KNOW, THE ABILITY FOR RESIDENTS WITHIN MIRABELLA TO ACCESS IT, THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ENTRANCE TO MIRABELLA RIGHT AT 380. SO YOU COULD VERY EASILY JUST DRIVE OUT THE GATE, TURN ON 380, TURN RIGHT BACK AROUND AND YOU'D BE IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE PARK AS WELL. SO THANK YOU AND HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME OR ANDRE? IS THERE ANY LAND LIKE THIS ON THE MASTER PLAN? IS IT LIKE, WOULD ANY OF THIS BE DISCUSSED IN. LAND LIKE THIS ON THE MASTER PLAN? I GUESS WE HAVE PARKS THAT HAVE FLOODPLAIN IN THEM OR ADJACENT. WE HAVE PARKS WITH PONDS AND CREEKS AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. SO I GUESS I WOULD HAVE TO SAY, YES, GO BRANCH THE DOE BRANCH PROPERTY. IT'S 162 ACRES, 12 OF IT'S HIGH AND DRY OR EXCUSE ME, ALMOST 15 OF IT'S HIGH AND DRY. SO WE'VE GOT 145 EIGHT, WHATEVER THAT NUMBER ONES ARE BEING THAT IS IN FLOODPLAIN AND THAT WE ARE LOOKING TO POTENTIALLY THE NORTHERN PIECE OF IT THAT'S HIGH AND DRY. THAT'S WHERE WE'LL DO OUR PLAYGROUNDS AND BALL FIELDS AND THOSE THINGS. THE SOUTH HALF WOULD PROBABLY BE MORE NATURE TRAILS, STUFF THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS. WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW WITH IT. SO CAN YOU CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE THAT SHOWS LIKE THE OUTLINE OF THE LAKE AND. YEAH, YEAH. SO SO THAT PROPERTY

[00:40:01]

THEY'VE AGREED WE'LL, WE'LL DO THE REMAINING LAND AROUND THOSE, THOSE ITEMS. SO WE'RE NOT TAKING ON, YOU KNOW, YEAH, IT'S FLOODPLAIN. SOME OF IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE HIGHER MAINTENANCE. A LOT OF IT PROBABLY WE WOULD JUST LEAVE ALONE UNLESS WE CUT A TRAIL THROUGH IT. IT'S REALLY JUST HAVING THAT ACCESS OF IN CONJUNCTION IS GOING TO BE MY ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IS THE 19.4 DOESN'T ACTUALLY INCLUDE ANY PART OF THE LAKE, RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. CORRECT. IT'S ALL LAND. THEN FOLLOWING OUR OUR DECISION IN APRIL, DID YOU END UP TAKING THIS TO COUNCIL? THIS HAS NOT GONE TO COUNCIL YET. SO THEY HAVEN'T SEEN OR DISCUSSED ANY OF THIS? NO, SIR.

SO THIS IS GATED COMMUNITY. IT IS. SO BECAUSE OF THAT THEY DON'T GET CREDIT FOR IS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN ME. THAT'S ME. MY MIND IS LIKE LITERALLY HOT. SORRY. WITHIN THEIR DEVELOPMENT THEY HAVE PARKS AND ALL THAT, BUT THEY DON'T GET CREDIT FOR THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT OPEN TO THE ENTIRE PUBLIC, RIGHT? IT'S JUST FOR THEIR, THE FAMILIES THAT LIVE WITHIN THERE.

SO THEY DON'T GET CREDIT FOR ANYTHING THAT'S WITHIN THEIR, THEIR, THEIR GATED AREA. THEY DO PAY TREE MITIGATION FEES FOR ANY TREES THAT ARE IMPACTED AND THAT OBVIOUSLY THE LAND AND NUMBER OF HOMES TOTALS INTO FEES TO THE TOWN. THE ONE THAT THEY'RE GETTING CREDIT FOR, YES, WILL BE OUTSIDE OF THEIR THEIR PROPERTY. THAT JUST RUNS RIGHT UP THROUGH HERE. RIGHT. AND SO RIGHT WHERE YOU SEE IT SAYS MAIN ENTRANCE. SO RIGHT AT CUSTER, THERE'S ALREADY A TRAIL THERE. AND THEN THE TRAIL WOULD KIND OF CUT AND CONTINUE ALONG THE PRIVATE ENTRY ROAD THAT YOU SEE THERE, AND THEN CUT OVER TO JUST NORTH OF THIS PROPERTY IS A TOLL BROTHERS PROJECT CALLED WANDERING CREEK. AND THEN THEY HAVE A PARK SITE OVER AT WANDERING CREEK. AND SO THAT'S WHAT'S PART OF THE TRAILS MASTER PLAN. AND SO WE WOULD BE CONSTRUCTING BASICALLY FROM CUSTER UP TO THE WANDERING CREEK PROJECT JUST NORTH OF US. YEAH. AND THAT THAT WOULD BE FULLY, PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE. AND THEN THEY WOULD PROBABLY BE A GATE THAT WOULD THEN ALLOW PRIVATE ACCESS TO THE REMAINING TRAILS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. TO ENTER FROM THE MAIN ENTRANCE.

IS THERE ANY WAY FOR THEM TO GET TO THIS LAND THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING TAKING FOR DONATION? CAN THEY GET TO THAT FROM OUR TRAIL SYSTEM, OR DO YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE PRIVATE GATED NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET TO THIS? SO I WOULD SAY RIGHT NOW, NEITHER PROVIDES ACCESS. BUT AS THESE AS THESE DEVELOPMENTS BUILD OUT, PISD HAS SOME LAND ON KIND OF THE NORTH WESTERN SIDE OF OF THE POND. SO THE IDEA WOULD HOPEFULLY BE OVER TIME, SECTIONS OF TRAIL WOULD GET BUILT OUT AND CREATE A CONNECTION. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY DO A WHOLE LOOP AROUND THE THE POND, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO CONSTRUCT ANYTHING ON TOP OF THAT DAM, BUT IT MIGHT TIE UP, GO BACK UP. SO MAYBE NOT A LOOP TRAIL AROUND THERE, BUT DEFINITELY DOWN TO THE PARK, THROUGH A GATE TO, TO THE MIRABELLA DEVELOPMENT AND THEN ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENTS ON THE NORTH AND WEST SIDES. YEAH. SO THAT THAT WOULD BE MY MAIN CONCERN IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY, THAT IT'S ACCESSIBLE FROM THE TRAIL SYSTEM AS WELL, NOT NECESSARILY JUST FROM A VEHICLE FROM 380 THAT ONCE YOU DO BUILD IT OUT, THAT IT IS ACCESSIBLE TO THE, TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND NOT JUST TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BECAUSE ON THE MASTER PLAN, ADDITIONAL TRAIL CONNECTIONS WAS THIRD AND OPEN SPACES AND NATURAL SPACES WAS FOURTH WHEN WE SURVEYED THE COMMUNITY. SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ALL RESIDENTS BE ABLE TO USE. IF THEY'RE ON OUR TRAIL SYSTEM. IT SHOULD, AS LONG AS

[00:45:03]

REALLY, SINCE THE BOND PROGRAM THEY HAVE. IF WE'VE BEEN PUSHING FORWARD WITH A PARK, THEY'VE ESSENTIALLY ASKED THE DEVELOPERS TO BUILD THE ENTIRE PARK. IN THIS INSTANCE, WE BACKED THE PARK OUT OF THAT EQUATION, I THINK, AND I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK FOR COUNCIL, BUT I HAVE SEEN THEM APPROVE TAKING LAND. THEY'VE BEEN OKAY WITH ACQUIRING LAND IN THIS INSTANCE OF LET'S JUST SAY THEY DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH THE WITH THE RUTHERFORD PARK PROPERTY, IF THAT MEANS SELLING IT OR TO SOMEONE ELSE, THEY COULD ESSENTIALLY LOOT THIS.

THEY COULD INCLUDE THIS PROPERTY WITH IT. IF IT WASN'T GOING TO BE SOMETHING I, I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK FOR THEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR WHAT THEIR THOUGHTS ARE ON THAT. I'M HOPING THAT THE ADDITION OF THIS LAND MAYBE KIND OF ENRICHES THE IDEA OF, OF RUTHERFORD PARK. AND NOW IT'S NOT JUST THAT LAND OVER HERE THAT'S GOT A LITTLE BIT OF WATER FRONTAGE. NOW YOU'VE GOT THIS ADDITIONAL 19 ACRES THAT WRAPS AROUND. SO BUT THEY HAVE BEEN AMENABLE TO ACCEPTING LAND AND MONEY. THEY'VE BEEN FINE WITH THAT AS FAR AS BUT THEY HAVE NOT RECENTLY BEEN EXCITED ABOUT CUTTING CHECKS. IN THIS INSTANCE, THE PARK WE PRESENTED LAST MONTH WAS AROUND SEVEN, $800,000 WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT OF OUR POCKET. EVEN UTILIZING.

THAT'S AFTER UTILIZING THEIR PARK FEES. SO SO IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD HIT. AND WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN LAND DEDICATION FROM LAST MONTH TO NOW? IS IT THE SAME? IT WASN'T 19. IT WAS. THIS IS MORE CORRECT. NO, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY THEY OFFERED. SO OKAY, REALLY THE THE LAND COMPONENT HASN'T CHANGED. IT WOULD JUST BE ESSENTIALLY KEEP THE CASH.

THE CASH WOULD GO, THE 120,000 REMAINING WOULD GO INTO THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FEE FUND AND AGAIN COULD BE USED LATER IF THE COUNCIL DECIDES THEY WANT TO BUILD THIS OR COULD BE USED FOR ANOTHER AREA OR ANOTHER PARK OR WHATEVER THEY DEEM APPROPRIATE. THANK YOU. SURE.

AND DAN, IF WE DECIDED SORRY, MY MIKE'S BEEN SCREAMING. IF WE DECIDED IF Y'ALL DECIDED NOT TO ACCEPT THE LAND AND INSTEAD HAVE THE PAYMENT, WHAT WOULD THAT TOTAL BE? AND WOULD YOU HAVE PLANS FOR THAT FOR SOMETHING ELSE? SURE. SO I WOULD APPROXIMATE YOU SAW THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT WE SHOWED WAS ABOUT 180 000 ACRE. SO JUST FOR EASY MATH, THEY WOULD OWE US NINE AND A HALF ACRES OR FEE IN LIEU OF. SO IF YOU JUST FOR EASY MATH SAID 200 000 OR YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING. IT'S PUSHING $2 MILLION. YEAH. OKAY. WHICH IS THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR SURE. BUT. YEAH, IT COULD BE AGAIN, USED FOR SOMETHING ELSE AS WELL, RIGHT? IT'S I KNOW IT'S A TOUGH DECISION. AGAIN, IF THIS WAS JUST TYPICAL, YOU KNOW, FLAT LAND WITH NOTHING AROUND IT, WE MIGHT STILL BE INTERESTED. BUT I JUST THINK THIS ONE IS SO UNIQUE.

YEAH, I THINK I THINK WHERE I'M STRUGGLING IS LAST TIME WE WANTED MORE PARTICIPATION AND THIS TIME WE HAVE LESS. AND SO FOR ME, I JUST I DON'T KNOW. SO I WOULD SAY SO I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE LESS. I THINK YOU HAVE THE SAME JUST WE'RE JUST NOT BUILDING. WE STILL WOULD HAVE HAD TO COME UP WITH SEVEN. RIGHT. SO THE LAND STILL THERE, THE THE FEE IS STILL THERE. SO WHAT WHAT THEY'RE WHAT THEY'RE GIVING US IS STILL THE SAME. WE'RE JUST NOT CHOOSING TO USE THE TOWN MONEY TO BUILD THE PARK. I THINK WHAT THE BOARD WAS ASKING WAS FOR MORE PARTICIPATION. SO WE IN FACT HAVE LESS IS WHERE I'M GOING WITH THAT. I AGREE WITH THAT.

YES YOU'RE RIGHT. YEAH. DEALS THE SAME. AND SO I AGREE. IT'S TOUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHERE COUNCIL WOULD FALL ON THIS, ESPECIALLY WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON JUST WITH OUR ABILITY TO FUND PARKS. BUT I THINK FROM A BOARD STANDPOINT, I DON'T THINK ANY OF US DENY THAT THIS IS A FANTASTIC PIECE OF PROPERTY, BUT IT ALSO TAKES A LIABILITY OFF THE HOA'S HANDS.

HISTORICALLY, HOA'S CANNOT MAINTAIN THIS. THEY WILL COME TO THE CITY AND ASK FOR US TO

[00:50:02]

WELL, IT WON'T BE ME, BUT THE NEXT THE NEXT PERSON CAN COME. WE CAN I CAN SEND IT OUT NEXT WEEK. WE CAN AT LEAST SHOW YOU WHAT THE CONCEPT FOR RUTHERFORD PARK WAS, AND I APOLOGIZE. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT THING TO HAVE IN THIS PRESENTATION. WE CAN SEND THAT OUT. YOU CAN TABLE IT AND BRING IT BACK IN JUNE. AND IF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE, IF THAT'S IF THAT'S WHAT IS.

ESSENTIALLY IF THAT WOULD MAKE THE DECISION FOR YOU OR EASIER FOR YOU THAN IT MIGHT BE WORTH US BRINGING THAT BACK AT A, AT THE NEXT MEETING. YEAH, I DON'T I DON'T THINK IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DEVELOPMENT. YOU ALL DO FANTASTIC WORK. I RUN THROUGH WINDSONG, AS THEY KNOW, ALMOST EVERY WEEKEND. SO I DON'T THINK THAT'S A CONCERN OR THAT THESE RESIDENTS DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO GREEN SPACE. IT'S MORE OR LESS HOW IT WOULD FIT INTO OUR OVERALL PARK SYSTEM, AND THEN THE TIMETABLE OF WHEN ANYONE COULD ACTUALLY USE IT. RIGHT. YOU KNOW, IS THAT A COUPLE YEARS FROM NOW WITH RUTHERFORD, IS THAT A DECADE FROM NOW IS PRIMARILY WHAT IS WHERE MY STRUGGLE IS. AND SO JUST FOR ME PERSONALLY, SURE. HAS TOWN COUNCIL HEARD ANY OF THIS YET OR ARE YOU BRINGING IT TO US? YOU SAID YOU HAVE NOT PROPOSED THIS TO TOWN COUNCIL. WE HAVE NOT IS NOT GONE TO TOWN COUNCIL. I THINK CERTAIN MEMBERS OF COUNCIL KNOW OF IT. OKAY. AND MAYBE HAVE SOME IDEA, BUT WE HAVE NOT PRESENTED IT FORMALLY TO THE COUNCIL AS A WHOLE. IT WAS GOING TO GO LAST MONTH, BUT AFTER YOU ALL DENIED IT, I SHARED THAT WITH ANDRE AND I SAID, OKAY, CAN WE STEP BACK AND SEE IF WE CAN PUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT TOGETHER THAT MAYBE MAKES MORE SENSE? AND SO WE'RE BRINGING THAT BACK TONIGHT. I AGREE WITH KYLE. I FEEL LIKE WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT COUNCIL IS THINKING. THEY WANT TO DO WITH THIS. FOR US TO SPEND A LOT MORE TIME DEDICATED TO. BECAUSE I THINK WE IF WE WENT AHEAD AND SAID YES, THAT THEY WOULD PROBABLY SEND IT BACK TO US AGAIN, BUT I WOULD I WOULD RATHER KNOW WHAT THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT IT. SO AS THE PARKS BOARD. SO I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, IT IS SCHEDULED TO BE ON THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. IT'S ON THE AGENDA. WHAT I DO THROUGH THAT, WHETHER YOU APPROVE IT OR DON'T APPROVE IT. NOW, IF YOU TABLE IT, THEN I'LL PROBABLY PULL IT OFF THE NEXT AGENDA BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PARKS BOARD LIKE. IT DIDN'T LIKE IT. IF THEY'RE JUST NOT READY TO MAKE A DECISION, THEN THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO MAKE A DECISION. SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I THINK WOULD HAPPEN. SO WE CAN CERTAINLY COME BACK ANOTHER TIME. OR YOU GUYS CAN APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE FOR YOUR REASONS. I WOULD STILL TAKE IT EVEN IF YOU ALL VOTED IT DOWN. I WILL STILL TAKE IT TO COUNCIL AS LONG AS THE DEVELOPER STILL WANTS ME TO. SO IT'S REALLY IT'S REALLY UP TO YOU ALL. I JUST THINK RIGHT NOW, POTENTIALLY 1.8 MILLION TO $2 MILLION OF PARK DEDICATION FEES

[00:55:04]

IT WOULD STILL. YEAH. UNLESS IT GETS TABLED. IF IT GETS TABLED, I DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT TAKING IT TO COUNCIL NEXT WEEK. IF YOU ALL SAY, LISTEN, IT'S STILL NOT FOR US. YOU KNOW, WE SAW IT LAST TIME, SOME FOR SOME SIMILAR REASONS. WE'RE JUST NOT READY TO MOVE ON IT. THEN YOU CAN VOTE IT DOWN. IT WOULD STILL GO TO COUNCIL AND BASICALLY I WOULD TELL THEM, I GIVE THEM THE SAME PRESENTATION AND I WOULD TELL THEM PARKS BOARD DENIED IT. AND SO IT WOULD BE UP TO THEM TO DECIDE, DO THEY FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT IT OR DO THEY WANT TO BASICALLY SUPPORT WHAT YOU ALL YOUR DECISION? SO SO YOU COULD START IF IF I HEAR TABLE, YOU CAN LET IT OUT. AND IF IF HALF OF YOU GO, NO, I ALREADY KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO, THEN DON'T VOTE TO APPROVE TABLING IT SO WE CAN YOU CAN VOTE ON TABLING. IF YOU DENY THAT, THEN WE NEED TO VOTE YES OR NO, ESSENTIALLY, THERE'S ONE KIND OF IMPORTANT POINT, IF I MAY MAKE THE THE LANDOWNER THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ALL PURCHASED THIS LAND FROM RECEIVED PARK DEDICATION CREDITS BECAUSE HIS NAME IS BOBBY HILL. HE WAS A PART OF THE WHOLE 380 LAND DEDICATIONS.

AND SO THE DECISION ISN'T ENTIRELY, I THINK AS WE HAD CALCULATED, IT WAS ABOUT 1.4, 1.5 MILLION. IT'S NOT ENTIRELY 1.4, 1.5 GOES INTO PARKS. IT WOULD MOSTLY BE BURNING UP THE CREDITS FROM FROM THE PREVIOUS LANDOWNER. SO IT'S NOT EXACTLY A INFLUX OF DOLLARS FOR PARKS.

IT'S JUST KIND OF MORE A USING UP OF CREDITS OF THE PREVIOUS LANDOWNER. THAT WAS PART OF THE TRANSACTION THAT WE DID THAT WHERE WE HAD THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE, PURCHASE THOSE CREDITS. SO THAT WAS ONE DISTINCTION ON BECAUSE I THINK IN TERMS OF HOW HOW YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN MENTIONING IT, IT WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. AND THAT'S ALSO A POINT WE WOULD MAKE TO COUNCIL. DO YOU ALL DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THAT? SO IN THE PAST, THE TOWN HAS MADE SOME TRANSACTIONS WITH DEVELOPERS AT ONE POINT TO PUT IN THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT ON

[01:00:04]

I DON'T, I DON'T THINK IT DID. OKAY. SO FIRST OF ALL I'M GOING TO GO WITH A MOTION TO TABLE FOR A FUTURE. DOES ANYBODY WANT TO DO A MOTION FOR THAT. OKAY. THAT IS A NO. OKAY. HOW ABOUT A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REVISIONS OF THE PARK AGREEMENT FOR MIRABELLA? DO I HEAR A MOTION TO APPROVE? NO MOTIONS. SO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF DENYING THIS PARK AGREEMENT, IS THAT THE BEST WAY TO PUT THAT MOTION FIRST? YEAH. OKAY. MOTION TO DENY THE MARLBOROUGH PARK AGREEMENT FACILITY. IS THAT LEGALLY IS ENOUGH? I BELIEVE SO, OKAY. OKAY. KYLE, IS THIS MOTIONS SECOND CARRY CASTRO IS A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE DENYING SAY WITH A VISUAL AND I ALL THOSE AGAINST OKAY OKAY. ONE NAY VALERIE LITTLE OKAY OKAY. AND WE CAN CERTAINLY TALK ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE YOU JUST PROPOSED AND MAYBE BRING THAT BACK AT A LATER DATE. AND I'M HAPPY TO. I THINK ANY OF US ARE HAPPY TO SHOW UP IN COUNCIL AND KIND OF TALK ABOUT THE DELIBERATION AND TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO GET THIS OFF HI CENTER AND SEE WHAT COUNCIL MIGHT THINK. OKAY, THE ULTIMATE DECIDER. SO YEAH, BUT I, I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT IDEA OF HAVING THE TRAIL. WE, I MEAN, THEY'RE SIMILAR DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THAT IN FRISCO, WHERE THE TRAIL IS STILL ACCESSIBLE BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC AROUND THE GATED NEIGHBORHOOD. SO IF THAT'S A POSSIBILITY, I THINK THIS WOULD BE A WIN WIN. OKAY. STAFF WILL WORK ON THAT. SEE IF WE CAN'T GET SOMETHING PROPOSED, AND WE'LL DETERMINE IF WE STILL WANT TO TAKE THIS TO COUNCIL NEXT WEEK OR NOT. WE'LL MAKE THAT DECISION SOON. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT, ANDRE, I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS TO RECEIVE STAFF

[7. Receive staff updates: Recreation, Park Development, Park Operations, and Director. ]

[01:05:01]

SO NOT GOING TO ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO COME THERE AND AND ASK, WHY ARE WE COMPARING 38 TO 155? BUT IF YOU DID, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY I CAN'T KEEP ANYBODY FROM DOING THAT. OUR LEADER FOR THE COMPETITION WAS CHASE GARLAND, AND HIS TOTAL WAS 632,642. SO WE DID KIND OF LOOK AT IT AND WE ACTUALLY. PARTICIPANT LET ME SEE HOW THIS WAS SPUN. BUT PARTICIPANTS AND STEPS, WE AVERAGE MORE STEPS PER PARTICIPANTS THAN LITTLE ELM. SO THAT'S WHAT THAT'S HOW WE WON. BUT BUT YEAH, SO WE WILL HAVE THE SUMMER MAYOR'S FITNESS CHALLENGE SESSION AND THEN THE FALL AS WELL. SO WE'RE WRAPPING UP SPRING. WE'LL HAVE OUR, EVERYONE WILL BE TURNING IN THEIR COMPLETED FORMS AND EVERYTHING. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. SO YEAH. AND THEN LIKE I SAID, SUMMER WILL BE GOING ON, BE GOING ON ALL THE WAY TILL THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST. AND SO WE'RE, WE'RE HAPPY TO SEE WHAT THAT BRINGS. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'VE ALWAYS TRIED TO GO. I THINK IT WAS OVER A THOUSAND PARTICIPANTS AND I COULD BE SHOOTING LOW AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN 2000. BUT I'LL HAVE UPDATED NUMBERS AS FAR AS WHENEVER SOME SUMMER WRAPS UP. SO WE CAN KIND OF COMPARE WHAT WE'VE DONE IN PREVIOUS SEASONS FOR RECREATION PROGRAMS. TREVOR. I REMEMBER A CONVERSATION ABOUT MAKING IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO REGISTER AND TRACK THEIR STEPS. I FEEL LIKE MAYBE IT WAS A JOINT WORK SESSION OR SOMETHING TO GET MORE PARTICIPATION FOR THE MAYOR'S FITNESS CHALLENGE. IS THAT SOMETHING YOU GUYS ARE STILL EXPLORING? BECAUSE I'D LOVE FOR IT TO BE MORE THAN 30. I THINK I DID IT ONE TIME, BUT I HAVE NOT DONE IT SINCE. SO IS IS THAT SOMETHING YOU GUYS ARE WORKING TO MAKE IT EASIER SO MAYBE MORE PEOPLE WILL PARTICIPATE? YES. SO WE DID MEET WITH A BOARD, THE CSC COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. COMMISSION. RIGHT. SORRY, MY BEAR WITH ME. SO WE DID MEET WITH THAT GROUP AND THERE WAS A PUSH FOR, HEY, WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IS JUST IT'S KIND OF PEN

[01:10:01]

THERE IS A GROUP THAT WANTS TO DO DO AN APP, DO A GROUP DO, DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING WHERE IT'S JUST SO MUCH EASIER TO DOWNLOAD INFORMATION FROM YOUR WATCH, FROM YOUR PHONE TO AN APP, AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET DATA A LOT QUICKER AND YOU CAN, IT'S JUST MORE EFFICIENT. IT'S EASIER.

THERE'S ANOTHER GROUP WHO BRINGS THE PAPER INTO OUR ADMINISTRATION OFFICE. THEY BRING THE PAPER IN, THEY'VE WRITTEN THEIR NAME DOWN, THEY'VE WRITTEN THEIR INFORMATION. THESE ARE MY HOURS. THESE ARE MY THIS IS THIS IS HOW I WANT TO DO IT. I DON'T WANT THE COMPUTER. SO WE WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT CATERING TO BOTH WHERE EACH ONE IS STILL GOING TO BE ACCEPTED. BUT YES, THERE WILL BE MOST LIKELY A DOLLAR AMOUNT ATTACHED TO. IF WE HAVE TO BRING IN AN APP, IF, IF THERE'S ANY KIND OF LIKE, I MEAN, WE DON'T, WE DON'T CHARGE FOR THIS COMPETITION, BUT THERE PROBABLY IS A DOLLAR AMOUNT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT THAT WE HADN'T BUDGETED FOR. WE ARE GOING THROUGH OUR BUDGET PERIOD RIGHT NOW. AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE KIND OF TOOK A LOOK AT AND SAY, HEY, MAYBE WE SHOULD DEDICATE SOME MORE DOLLARS TO THIS CAMPAIGN. BUT YES, NO, I AGREE, THERE'S THERE'S PROBABLY A MORE EFFICIENT WAY TO DO IT OUTSIDE OF HERE'S THE EMAIL, HERE'S THE LINK, FILL IT OUT, WHETHER YOU'RE DOING PDF OR WRITING IT IN. BUT THAT, THAT IS ONE THING THAT I THINK WILL DRAW MORE ATTENTION. I WILL SAY WE'RE YEARS AWAY FROM IT, BUT ONCE THE TRAIL SYSTEM EXPANDS A LITTLE BIT MORE, THEN YOU'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE THAT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE WHERE YOU'RE GOING THROUGH DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THEN YOU'RE ABLE TO KIND OF ONE IDEA THAT I ALWAYS HAD WAS YOU HAVE YOUR, YOUR COMPETITION LIMITED TO WHAT TRAILS YOU'RE ON AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY LIKE HAVE IN-PERSON COMPETITIONS, LIKE NOT SOMETHING WE'RE DOING. BUT NO, I, I AGREE THERE, WE'VE BEEN DOING IT THE SAME WAY FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS. AND IT'S PROBABLY WORTH TAKING A LOOK AT CHANGING IT UP A LITTLE BIT, GET A LITTLE BIT MORE BECAUSE THE NUMBERS OF REGISTRATIONS AND SUBMITTED FORMS HAS GONE DOWN A LITTLE BIT. SO IT'S WORTH LOOKING AT DOING SOMETHING MORE EFFICIENTLY. CAN THEY USE THE PROSPER APP TO FOR IS THAT WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT OR ARE THEY LOOKING AT IT A SEPARATE APP IF THE HASN'T GOTTEN TO THAT, THE MY PROSPER APP THAT THAT WAS BROUGHT UP, WE HAVEN'T USED THE MY PROSPER APP HAS BEEN MORE FOR CERTAIN THINGS OF CITIZENS REPORTING ISSUES OR COMPLIMENTS, BUT ISSUES WITH THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON WITHIN THE TOWN, WHETHER IT'S A TREE IS DOWN, WHETHER THE MEDIANS ARE, YOU KNOW, THE GRASS IS TOO HIGH, WHETHER IT'S THE TRAFFIC LIGHT OUT THAT HAS BEEN UTILIZED FOR MORE OF THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

WE HAVE NOT EXPLORED USING IT FOR THIS, BUT I'M MORE THAN OPEN TO TALKING TO OUR IT DEPARTMENT AND SEEING IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE CAPABLE OF DOING. BUT THERE ARE APPS OUT THERE THAT WE COULD USE THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF MY PROSPER, THAT WE'RE JUST AS EFFICIENT. AND POSSIBLY IT'S SOMETHING WHERE IT'S, YOU GO THROUGH MY PROCESS AND IT LEADS TO ANOTHER APP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I WAS ACTUALLY A PARTICIPANT THIS TIME AROUND AND FOR THE JOURNEY.

YEAH. WELL, FOR, FOR BOTH, BUT I DIDN'T LOG IN MY FINAL, I KNOW I DIDN'T HE PICKED A DAY.

THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE HE WAS ON THERE TOO. OKAY, WELL, I WAS, I WAS TRACKING FOR A WHILE ON A PIECE OF PAPER. SO THAT'S A, THAT'S A THING. AND IT'S LIKE, OH, I GOTTA REMEMBER TO WRITE DOWN, LOOK AT THE DATE AND WRITE IT DOWN AND THEN PUT IT ON THE PAPER. HAD I GOTTEN MAYBE A WEEKLY EMAIL, JUST A REMINDER, LOG IN YOUR APP? YOU KNOW, I NEVER SAW ANYTHING AFTER WHEN I FIRST REGISTERED, I, I WENT BACK TO AN OLD EMAIL AND LOGGED IN AND PUT IT IN THERE AND I WASN'T REALLY SURE THAT IT WAS TRACKING IT. SO THIS WAS FOR THE JOURNEY OR JUST THE, THE MAYOR'S. I'M DOING BOTH. BOTH. OKAY. OKAY. YEAH. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFICATION ON THAT ONE. IT'LL COMMUNICATION IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO IMPROVE BECAUSE WE DID HAVE. SPEAKING WITH OUR MARKETING COORDINATOR, THERE WERE SOME COMMENTS THAT SAID, HEY, LOOK, WE WE'RE BASICALLY JUST GIVEN THIS EMAIL AND WE'RE GOING TO PARTICIPATE.

THERE'S NO GUIDELINES ON HOW OFTEN WE'RE GOING TO BE UPDATED. WHAT'S THE END GOAL HERE? ARE WE GOING TO KNOW THAT X PERSON IS IN LEADING THE PACK AFTER WEEK ONE? YOU KNOW, CERTAIN THINGS LIKE THAT TO KEEP ENGAGEMENT. I WOULD AGREE LIKE ENGAGEMENT IF YOU WERE TO GET A WEEKLY OR LIKE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS, LIKE SO AND SO'S LIKE LEADING AND YOU CAN USE

[01:15:05]

RIGHT. SO I MEAN, I HAVE IT ALL. IT'S IN, IT'S IN MY, IT'S IN MY PHONE. SURE. AND WHETHER IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A GRAPH. YEAH. YOU KNOW, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT BECAUSE THAT IS A PART THAT WE KIND OF DID NOT DO A GREAT JOB OF WAS COMMUNICATION AND ENGAGEMENT FOR THE MOST PART. SO I DO AGREE WITH BOTH OF Y'ALL IN THOSE COMMENTS THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO BETTER AND WHAT WE'LL WORK WITH COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT ON THAT ONE AS WELL. NOT IT'S NO ONE'S FAULT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT'S JUST MAYBE MORE OF A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN DIVISIONS. MAYBE THEY COULD EVEN USE LIKE SHAREPOINT TO LIKE HAVE A WAY WHERE PEOPLE LOG IN BECAUSE I KNOW THE TOWN USES OFFICE 365, LIKE UTILIZE THAT TO BE ABLE TO LIKE TRACK YOUR INFORMATION OR EVEN SOME OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, APPS THAT I MENTIONED WHERE YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN GROUP. YEAH. AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE LOGIN INFORMATION. I MEAN, AND YOU COULD ALSO GO AS FAR AS HAVING LIKE LITTLE MINI TEAMS IF YOU WANTED TO DO IT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR SOMETHING. YEAH, THAT, AND THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I'M PARTICIPATING AT WORK IS BECAUSE I'M A COMPETITIVE TYPE PERSON. AND THEY PUT US IN LIKE LITTLE GROUPS AND I'M LIKE, WELL, THE REST OF MY TEAM IS, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T LET THEM DOWN. SO SURE. AND THAT KIND OF PIGGYBACKS OFF WHAT I WAS TALKING WITH CARRIE IS ONCE THAT YOU HAVE YOUR TEAM WINS ON YOUR TEAM LASEMA VERSUS YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SOMETHING, RIGHT? I'M JUST USING GENERIC. RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

LIKE I'M JUST SAYING, AND OCCASIONALLY A REMINDER EMAIL BECAUSE I'M VERY FORGETFUL ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT. IT'S KIND OF LIKE OFF ON THE SIDE. IT'S NOT THAT I MEANINGFULLY DON'T WANT TO DO IT, IT'S JUST THAT I, IT'S, IT'S A GOOD. PRESENCE. YEAH, WE ENCOURAGE THAT. GIVE YOU A LITTLE SELF COMPETITION, RIGHT? RIGHT. YOU CAN DO NEIGHBORHOOD COMPETITION.

I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. NO, I TOTALLY AGREE. YEAH. SO THAT'S YOUR DUTY FOR TOMORROW.

IT'S 715. YOU'RE GOING TO DO. I JUST STARTED BUT YEAH NO. AND THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE WILL BECAUSE WE DID HAVE OUR INITIAL MEETING WITH THE CDC. WE'RE GOING TO BE INVITED BACK TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE THINGS. SO THESE ARE REALLY GOOD IDEAS AND KIND OF A GOOD DIRECTION WE'D LIKE TO GO FOR 2027, BECAUSE WHEN WE MET WITH THEM, IT WAS A LITTLE BIT THE I THINK IT WAS IN FEBRUARY MAYBE. AND SO WE START IN MARCH. SO AT THAT POINT, WE'RE LACKING SOME THINGS THAT WE NEED TO IMPROVE IT. SO NOW WE HAVE A WHOLE YEAR AHEAD. IT'LL IT'LL BE. I'M NOT SAYING THAT IT DOESN'T EVER GET BROADCAST BECAUSE I KNOW LIKE THE PROBABLY THE WEEKLY EMAIL SAYS, HEY, MAYOR'S FITNESS CHALLENGE, BUT. YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST A NOTIFICATION. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THAT'S JUST A REMINDER, HEY, WE'RE DOING THIS. AND YOU'RE LIKE, WELL, WHAT AM I DOING AGAIN? YOU KNOW, SO I ONCE YOU GET THE ACTUAL PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING IT, THEN, RIGHT, PUSH A LITTLE BIT HARDER ON THE ENGAGEMENT, YOU KNOW, WITH THE ENCOURAGEMENT IS PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO START. I AGREE, I'M NOT TRYING TO GET YOU ON THE SPOT. SO NO, NO, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT WE NEED IS WE NEED FEEDBACK. YEAH. ANYTHING ELSE FOR TREVOR. ALL RIGHT. WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PARK BOARD. ALL RIGHT. NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS PARK DEVELOPMENT. AND DAN BAKER MAN OF MULTI HATS. OKAY. JUST WANTED TO BRING YOU UP TO SPEED ON A COUPLE OF OUR OUR BIGGER PROJECTS GOING ON. RAYMOND COMMUNITY PARK. WE'RE STILL WE'RE STILL MAKING A LOT OF PROGRESS. BUT IN THE PARKS BEING USED, BUT REALLY, WE STILL HAVE LITTLE AREAS THAT WE'RE WAITING TO DO SITE INSTALLATION. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PLAYGROUND WAS 100% DONE. SO WE'RE NOT PUTTING DOWN SOME MORE EQUIPMENT COMES IN REALLY THE NORTHERN END OF THE PARK. THERE ARE STILL SOME AREAS THAT NEEDED SOME ADDITIONAL SOD, BUT WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO THAT NOT BEING THE CASE. THEY DID RECENTLY COMPLETE THE REGRADING OF THE DETENTION POND. AND SO SOD IS GOING DOWN THROUGH THERE THE BOTTOM, BECAUSE THE RECENT RAINS HASN'T DRIED OUT QUITE ENOUGH TO GET THAT DONE. BUT WE'RE VERY, VERY CLOSE ON THAT. AND REALLY THE, THE OTHER, THE BIG ITEM IS THE, THE PICTURE ON THE ON TOP. THAT'S THE DRILL RIG FOR THE, THE WELL. SO THE WELL CURRENTLY IS ABOUT 30% COMPLETE. REMIND YOU WE'RE DRILLING DOWN, I THINK APPROXIMATELY ABOUT 1100FT TO GET TO THE WATER TABLE. AND I WANT TO SAY THEY'RE RIGHT AROUND 400FT. THIS WAS AS OF THE OTHER YESTERDAY, I BELIEVE. SO IT'S A SLOW PROCESS, BUT THEY'RE MAKING GOOD, GOOD PROGRESS ON IT. AND WE'RE STILL TRACKING TO HAVE THE FIELDS OPEN BY AUGUST 1ST. MATT'S GUYS

[01:20:08]

SO IT'S A, IT'S GOING TO BE A NEAT LITTLE PARK. AND THAT'S IT FOR, FOR THE PARK PLANNING. ANY QUESTIONS ON EITHER OF THOSE? SO WHEN DOES THE WARRANTY ACTUALLY START ON THE RAYMOND.

OR IS THAT ALREADY THAT CLOCK'S ALREADY KIND OF TICKING OR IS THAT A STAGGERED. LIKE IT'S IT'S PROBABLY A LITTLE STAGGERED. SO WHEN SOMETHING'S CALLED SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE.

SO REALLY JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING'S DONE. THERE'S SOME FINE TUNING. SO IT JUST KIND OF DEPENDS ON THE ITEM. OKAY. SO YES, SO SOME OF SOME OF THE WARRANTY ITEMS HAVE BEGUN, SOME OF THE WORK HASN'T BEEN COMPLETED. THE, THE CONCESSION BUILDING THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BALL FIELDS, THAT THING'S ALMOST DONE. THAT'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A, A CHALLENGE THAT WE DON'T HAVE. THE BEST CONTRACTOR IN OUR CMAR IS WORKING THROUGH THAT, BUT THAT ONE HAS RECENTLY MADE SOME GOOD PROGRESS SO THAT WHEN WE HAVE THE WARRANTY HASN'T STARTED ON THAT ONE YET BECAUSE IT'S NOT DONE. SO A LITTLE OFF TOPIC, BUT THE DEFIBRILLATOR LITTLE WHAT WHERE ARE I MEAN, IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT.

THAT'S OKAY. BUT IT'S PART OF IT'S PART OF THE PROJECT. YEAH. SO I JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE ZAP STAN PEOPLE. AND APPARENTLY THEIR FACTORY CAUGHT FIRE. AND SO THEY ARE NOW DELAYED A LITTLE BIT LONGER. SO I HONESTLY DON'T HAVE A GREAT ANSWER FOR YOU. WE'VE BEEN STRUNG ALONG A LITTLE BIT WITH THEM. WE HAVE FUNDING FOR IT. WE'VE GOT A CONTRACT IN PLACE.

SO WE'RE HOPING BY THE END OF THE SUMMER, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THEY THEY OWE US TECHNICALLY FOR WE'VE GOT ONE AND WE'RE STUBBED OUT FOR IT. AT LAKEWOOD, RAYMOND IS ALSO STUBBED OUT, READY TO RECEIVE THE UNIT. THE TWO FRONTIER WE'VE HELD BACK, BECAUSE I WANT TO START SEEING THESE THINGS SHOW UP BEFORE WE START MAKING INVESTMENT. THE INFRASTRUCTURE COMPONENTS. SO SO WE'RE STILL PROBABLY A COUPLE MONTHS, I WOULD SAY MINIMUM THREE, MAYBE 3 OR 4 MONTHS OUT FROM THEM COMING. SO OKAY. YEAH, I APPRECIATE IT. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

NEXT UP IS PARK OPERATIONS WITH MATT FER. OKAY. THIS WAS A REAL REACH AND STRETCH ON TRYING TO PROVIDE A PICTURE. BUT I MEAN, JUST LIKE LAST MONTH, WE WERE JUST REALLY IN STATUS QUO MODE, GETTING GETTING THROUGH THE SEASONS. WE'RE ABOUT TO WRAP UP. THIS IS ON TEAL AND COUNCIL.

WE'VE GOT PROBLEMS IN THIS AREA. IT'S ONE OF THOSE UNFINISHED MEDIANS. SO WHAT WE DID, WE CAME IN. THERE'S NO IRRIGATION, THERE'S NO IMPROVEMENT. SO THE STAFF DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GO OUT AND HAVE A CONTRACTOR WORK ON IT. SO PEOPLE THERE'S COMPLAINTS. SO WE ADDED SEED HOPING THAT IT'LL COME UP. IT'S REALLY PROBABLY NOT TAKES A LOT OF WATER TO GET SEED TO COME UP.

BUT WE DID IT. THEN WE REALLY PUT A FOUR FOOT BARRIER OF SOD ALL THE WAY AROUND TO KEEP THE EROSION FROM GOING, SPILLING INTO THE ROADS. SO THAT WAS THE MAIN OBJECTIVE HERE. AND WE WE GOT IT DONE. PROSPER ROAD WAS IS A DIFFERENT ONE. IT'S REALLY A TWO FOOT LITTLE BARRIER. SO WE DID WHAT WE CAN. WE'VE GOT STAFF WATERING IT WITH OUR WATER TRAILER ABOUT ONCE EVERY OTHER DAY. AT FIRST WE WERE DOING IT ONCE A WEEK, I MEAN ONCE A DAY, AND THEN WE GOT SOME RAIN. SO THAT HELPED OUT A LITTLE BIT. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON THERE. JUNE 1ST.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE SOME BETTER PICTURES. SO JUNE 1ST, OUR BASEBALL PB S A THEY'RE GOING TO START CONSTRUCTION ON THREE, FOUR AND FIVE ON THE GRASS FIELDS. SO THEY'RE THEY'RE COMING UP USING ALL THEIR MONEY. EVERYTHING IN HOUSE. NO, NOTHING FOR US

[01:25:07]

ANGER ISSUES COME OUT NEXT TUESDAY, SO WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WORK THROUGH IT AND REALLY COME UP WITH A GOOD GAME PLAN FOR EVERYBODY THAT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY.

SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES. SO ANYWAY, THAT'S LIKE I SAID, EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW IS REALLY JUST TRYING TO GET THE REST OF THE SEASONS GOING, TRIMMING TREES, DOING ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, WORKING ON BUDGET AND JUST TRYING TO GET OUR EQUIPMENT UP AND GOING AGAIN, WORKING WITH VERVE. SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON, BUT NOT REALLY MUCH PICTURE OF WHERE THERE'S GOT. SO I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THOUGH. I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. AND NEXT UP IS DAN BAKER WITH DIRECTOR, HIS LAST AND FINAL. YEAH. I DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT. SO FIRST OF ALL, OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING WILL STILL BE JUNE 11TH. I WOULD ANTICIPATE THE NEW DIRECTOR BEING A PART OF THAT GET TO MEET HIM. MAYBE FOR THE FIRST TIME. PROBABLY. I WOULD IMAGINE CHUCK EWING'S MIGHT PARTICIPATE IN THAT ONE TOO.

THE NEW DIRECTOR. I'VE KIND OF TALKED TO SOME OF YOU, DAVID ANGELES, WHO IS COMING TO US FROM THE CITY OF PLANO. DAVE IS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR THERE. NOW, SOME OF YOU, I DON'T KNOW, CARRIE, DO YOU KNOW KNOW. OKAY. AND KYLE, PROBABLY. OH, OKAY. NO. THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH. JUST SO DAVE'S A GREAT GUY. HE WAS AN ALAN FOR A WHILE. HE'S BEEN IN PLANO FOR A LONG TIME. VERY ACCOMPLISHED. HE WILL DO A PHENOMENAL JOB HERE. SO HOPEFULLY HE'LL PICK UP AND JUST KEEP THE BALL ROLLING. AND THEN. I HATE PUBLIC SPEAKING AND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S. I JUST WANT TO THANK THANK I TRY TO SAY MORE, BUT I WANT TO FALL ON CAMERA. SO YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN PHENOMENAL. AND THE MEMBERS BEFORE YOU HAVE BEEN GREAT. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU DAN, WE APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU'VE DONE. ALL RIGHT. NEXT ON
