          [6. NEW BUSINESS]
SIGNIFY BY SAYING I OPPOSED SAME SIGN. BEGINNING WITH THE NEW BUSINESS PORTION OF THE AGENDA. WE'LL START BY DISCUSSING AND CONSIDERING THE JULY FINANCIAL REPORT. GOOD MORNING BOARD. WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET IS THE BUDGET SHEET FROM THE WORKSHOP THAT WAS PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL ON FRIDAY. SO THEY ARE DEEP IN BUDGET DISCUSSIONS. THE FOLLOWING SHEETS IS A BREAKDOWN OF ANY PENDING OUTSTANDING EXPENSES FOR GRANTS THAT HAVE BEEN AWARDED. YOUR EXPENSE DETAIL IS LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM. AND THEN I ALSO WENT AHEAD AND ADDED YOUR BUDGET NOTES THAT WERE APPROVED AT YOUR LAST MEETING. SO WE BREAK IT DOWN BY EACH LINE ITEM. THE VERY LAST PAGE IS GOING TO BE THE SUMMARY, AND THAT SHOWS YOU YOUR BUDGET FROM FISCAL YEAR 24. THE GREEN COLUMN IS YOUR EXPENSES TO DATE. AND SO I. AND THEN THE BLUE COLUMN IS WHAT WE ANTICIPATE PAYING OUT BEFORE THE END OF FISCAL YEAR. SO THAT HIGHLIGHTED 1.8 MILLION IS GOING TO BE THE ESTIMATED END OF YEAR FUND BALANCE FOR YOU. 
          SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE BROUGHT THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION. EVERYTHING THAT'S OUTSTANDING BECAUSE Y'ALL HAVE A LOT OF APPLICANTS IN THE ROOM TODAY. AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. SO HELP ME. I WAS TRYING TO PUT THIS ALL TOGETHER YESTERDAY. HELP ME UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW MUCH WE HAVE REMAINING IN THE FACADE REIMBURSEMENT BUDGETED FOR THIS YEAR. SO BUDGETED FOR. THIS YEAR. YOU HAD 75000, WHICH WAS YOUR TYPICAL. YOU ALSO PUT AN ADDITIONAL 75000. SO YOU HAVE $150,000 TO SPEND. ON JUST ONE SECOND. I'M SORRY. YOU HAVE $134,000 THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ALLOCATED OUT, AND THAT IS BETWEEN YOUR OUTSTANDING BALANCES AND YOUR BALANCE TO DATE. SO BUT YOU ALSO HAVE IN YOUR BUDGET NOTES, YOU HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED TO GO INTO YOUR FUND BALANCE TO AWARD ADDITIONAL GRANTS THIS YEAR. SO EVEN THOUGH YOU ONLY BUDGETED THE 150,000, WE HAD THE RETAIL READY ENTRANCES DOWN THERE. IN YOUR BUDGET NOTES, WE ESTIMATED ABOUT 123 000, WHICH YOU HAVE NOT TOUCHED. BUT THAT'S NOT SHOWING IN THE ESTIMATED FUND BALANCE BECAUSE YOU HADN'T RECEIVED ANY OF THOSE APPLICATIONS. SO THAT'S JUST IN YOUR BUDGET NOTES. SO THE MONEY IS THERE. YOU MOST OF YOUR 
          [00:05:02]
OUTSTANDING EXPENSES, SOME OF THOSE ARE GOING TO ROLL OVER INTO NEXT FISCAL YEAR. YEAR TWO TAROT SOCIALS WILL ROLL OVER THE 115 NORTH FRANCIS AWNING PROJECT. WE KNOW THAT THAT ONE'S BEEN COMPLETED. WE'RE WORKING ON THAT INVOICE RIGHT NOW. AND THEN WE'VE GOT SOME UPDATES FOR THE 409 WEST GROVE. I EXPECT WILL HAVE MORE QUESTIONS AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          ANYTHING ELSE TOP OF MIND RIGHT NOW AS IT PERTAINS TO THE FINANCIALS? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE FINANCIAL REPORT AS PRESENTED. I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION. THANK YOU. KEN, DO I HAVE A SECOND? THANK YOU. JC ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING I OPPOSED SAME SIGN. THIS NEXT PORTION OF THE MEETING. WE WILL DISCUSS AND CONSIDER A NUMBER OF DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION GRANT REQUESTS BEGINNING WITH 106 SOUTH ADELAIDE. SO I'M GOING TO BRING UP JARRETT COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO A FEW OF THE FACADE REIMBURSEMENTS. HE IS A LOCAL CONTRACTOR THAT HAS GONE AND WORKED WITH INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS, SO HE WILL BE PRESENTING QUITE A FEW EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE WORK THAT COULD BE DONE AT OUR DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES. SO WE WILL START WITH 106 SOUTH ADELAIDE, MR. COOPER. HOW ABOUT HOW ARE Y'ALL? 106 SOUTH ADELAIDE IS THE SIDE STREET BAR. COULD YOU GO TO THE PICTURE THAT THEY SHOWED HERE OF THE BAR? THAT'S THAT'S OUR BISTRO PICTURE. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN WE DO THESE AI THINGS ON THERE, THAT THOSE ARE IN TWO DIMENSIONS. THE BUILDINGS IN THE WORLD IS IN THREE DIMENSIONS. SO A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT YOU SEE IN THIS PICTURE CAN'T REALLY PHYSICALLY BE DONE. SO AS LONG AS WE KEEP THAT IN MIND, BUT THE INTENT STAYS THE SAME. LOOKING AT WHAT THE ARCHITECT GAVE US AS FAR AS DIRECTION ON THIS PROJECT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A NEW SET OF WOOD ENTRY DOORS, EXTERIOR GRADE WOOD, NOT METAL PAINTED, BUT WOOD ENTRY DOORS, NEW INSULATED GLASS ACROSS THE FRONT. WE WILL HAVE TO DO SOME WORK TO THE FLOOR TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DOORS SWING PROPERLY. AND. BUT WE ARE GOING TO STAY IN THE SAME PLANE THAT THE DOORS ARE IN NOW, BECAUSE IF WE ENDED UP MOVING THOSE TO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING LIKE THIS SHOWS, I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE ELECTRICAL. THE SECURITY SYSTEM THERE. THERE WERE A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS THAT WERE GOING TO REALLY START COSTING A LOT OF MONEY. SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A NICE AWNING. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE LIGHT FIXTURES. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE NEW WOOD TRIM ALL THE WAY ON ALL THE WINDOWS IN THE DOORS AND ALL THAT PAINTED. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER THEM. 
          QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD. I THINK THERE ARE. WELL, THERE ARE NOT CURRENTLY TWO SETS OF WINDOWS, BUT I THINK THE BUILDING INTENDED FOR THERE TO BE TWO SETS OF WINDOWS. I THINK THE TOPS ARE ARE BOARDED. ARE THOSE GOING TO BE REPLACED AS WELL OR ARE THOSE GOING TO STAY PAINTED OVER? NO. THE CLERESTORY WINDOWS WILL BE REFURBISHED SO THAT YOU SEE THROUGH THE CLEAR STORY WINDOWS. THEY WILL HAVE OR BE REGULAR QUARTER INCH TEMPERED GLASS, NOT THE INSULATED GLASS. SO IT GIVES THE SAME LOOK OF THE PERIOD TIME. ARABIA, WOULD YOU MIND PULLING UP A GOOGLE IMAGE OF 106 SOUTH ADELAIDE? STREET VIEW? DID YOU SAY NEW SIGN? IS THAT PART OF THE BID? I DIDN'T KNOW, NO MA'AM, I'M NOT INTO THE SIGNAGE PART. OKAY. AND THE PATIOS? I HAD THE NEW AWNING. OKAY. GOT THE AWNING. THE WINDOWS HAD. THIS PATIO IS NOT PART OF THE PROJECT. NO, WE'RE GOING TO ALREADY HAVE ONE. WE'RE JUST GOING TO REFINISH IT. 
          WE'RE GOING TO REPAINT IT WHILE WE'RE THERE. OKAY. IT'S NOT. SO THE SCOPE OF WORK AS IT GOES DOWN. MY BID IS THANK YOU ARABIA. AND THIS IS A DATED PICTURE TOO, RIGHT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. GOT TO BUILD A TEMPORARY BARRIER WALL TO KEEP THEM OPEN. THAT'S MY FIRST LINE ITEM. THE SECOND IS THE FLOOR THAT I SAID WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REMOVE SOME FLAGSTONE THAT THEY PUT IN AND REPORTS OF CONCRETE. THE CARPENTRY IS ALL THE WOODWORK AND THE BASICALLY WE'RE REBUILDING THE THE WALLS ON THE OUTSIDE, THE DOORS FRAME. THEIR HARDWARE ARE THOSE PAIR OF EXTERIOR GRADE WOOD DOORS, THE GLASS. WE TALKED ABOUT PAINTING. WE TALKED ABOUT THE AWNING WE 
          [00:10:02]
TALKED ABOUT AND THE PLANNERS. I JUST PUT AN ALLOWANCE. HE HAD. HE HAD A NOTE IN HIS NOTES ABOUT PUTTING SOME PLANTERS. I PUT AN ALLOWANCE IN FOR THE PLANTERS. IF WE DON'T DO THOSE, THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU GET THAT MONEY BACK. AND I DON'T SEE IT IN HERE. BUT I KNOW THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT DOES THIS SCOPE OF THIS WORK, PARTICULARLY UNDER THE AWNING, ALLOW FOR ELECTRIC. 
          FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO LIKE A CAFE LIGHT. YES, MA'AM. LATER DOWN THE ROAD. YES. OKAY. AS I LOOK AT MY ELECTRICAL SCOPE, IT SAYS FURNACE INSTALLED THE NEW GOOSENECK FIXTURES AT THE TOP. 
          THE BIGGER ONES REPLACE THE FIXTURE AT THE EXTERIOR FOYER. YOU DON'T SEE THAT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PHYSICALLY, UNLESS YOU WALKED IN THERE, YOU WOULDN'T SEE IT CHANGE THE EXTERIOR FIXTURES, THE SWITCH PLUGS UNDERNEATH. SO THAT'S WHERE YOU WOULD GET YOUR POWER FOR SOME TWINKLY LIGHTS UNDERNEATH THE AWNING THAT COULD BE SWITCHED. 
          DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR CLIENT INTENDS TO KEEP THE WINDOWS TRANSPARENT VERSUS THIS OLDER? I KNOW THIS OLDER PICTURE. THEIR WINDOWS, I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THAT SHE'S I REALLY CAN'T ANSWER FOR HER, BUT THE NEW WINDOWS WILL HAVE A TINT TO THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE THEY ARE INSULATED GLASS, THEIR ENERGY EFFICIENT GLASS. THEY WILL HAVE A TINT TO THEM, BUT I DON'T THINK SHE PLANS ON FILMING OVER ANY WINDOWS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. BUT THAT'S THE BEST OF MY LIGHT. SHE DOES NOT PLAN TO. I ASSUME WE HAVE A SIGN ORDINANCE FOR THE CITY OF TERRELL. OKAY. 
          AND THIS IS MORE A QUESTION FOR RAYLAN. RAYLAN, BECAUSE WE SET ASIDE MONEY FOR AWNINGS AND SIGNS, WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR US TO. I DON'T HOW DO WE NEED TO DO THIS? DO WE NEED TO CONSIDER THE AWNING SEPARATE? DO WE NEED TO APPROVE THIS? AND Y'ALL JUST WILL HANDLE WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM. OKAY. LET ME ASK YOU. YES, SIR. ON THIS THIS PICTURE THAT WE HAVE HERE THAT YOU SHOWN, AS YOU SAY, IT'S NOT GOING TO QUITE BE LIKE THIS PICTURE AS FAR AS THE SIGN THAT'S LIT IT. LIGHT UP THE SIGN THAT'S LIGHTED, LIT UP. THAT SIGN IS NOT PART OF THE WORK. OKAY, WHAT ABOUT THE FENCE? THE LITTLE FENCE OUT FRONT? THAT THAT THAT'S NOT HOW IN REALITY THAT LOOKS. OKAY, IF YOU'LL GO BACK TO THE OTHER PICTURE, YOU WALK OUT AND THEN YOU HAVE THE SIDEWALK THERE, RIGHT? THEN YOU HAVE A FENCED IN LITTLE DECK AREA OUT THERE. 
          IF YOU ARABIA, IF YOU GOOGLE SIDE STREET BAR, THERE'S A CURRENT PICTURE OF THEIR FACADE, THEY'LL HAVE A POINT. BUT RIGHT THERE IN THE GREEN AREA, THERE IS A SMALL FENCED IN DECK THERE. 
          OKAY. ALL RIGHT. 
          WHILE SHE'S PULLING THAT UP, I'M LOOKING AT PAGE. I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE NEXT APPLICATION PAGE 19 OF OUR PACKET, BUT IT IT'S A COPY OF OUR APPLICATION. SO JUST, I GUESS, A REMINDER FOR THE BOARD AS YOU READ THROUGH THE TOP OF PAGE 19. IT SAYS THAT QUALIFIED APPLICANTS ARE ELIGIBLE, ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE UP TO $25,000 IN MATCHING FUNDS. OF COURSE, THIS BUSINESS ALREADY HAS A CO BUSINESS OPEN TILL AT LEAST 8 P.M. THIS ONE IS. THOSE BUSINESSES CAN RECEIVE UP TO $50,000 OF REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES. THANK YOU ARABIA. SO HERE JC AND BOARD IS A PICTURE OF THE BUSINESS. PRETTY CLOSE TO HOW IT LOOKS TODAY. SO THERE IS A PATIO IN PLACE. SO THE JIMMY SAID NEW DOORS, NEW AWNING, NEW WINDOWS, BOTH LOWERS AND UPPERS THOUGH. DIFFERENT TYPES OF WINDOWS AND SOME NEW WOOD TRIM ALL THE WAY INSIDE AND OUT ON THE ON THE MOUNTED LIGHTING, I'M GUESSING ABOVE THOSE UPPER DORMERS. YES. 
          IN THE IN THE ARCTIC, IN THE AI GENERATED THING, IT HAD TWO BIG METAL TYPE PICTURES, YOU KNOW, 
          [00:15:10]
LIKE, OKAY. WHAT'S THE AMOUNT THAT WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE AS A WHOLE? BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THESE APPLICANTS, AND I DON'T WANT TO GET TO THE END AND SAY, WE DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT LEFT. YEAH, I HATE TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE THEM ONE AT A TIME, BUT THAT'S HOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTED. BUT I WANT TO UNDERSTAND OUR TOTAL AVAILABILITY IN THE WAY OF PARTICIPATION AND SEE HOW WE CAN'T, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH ARE WE ASKING FOR ON THIS ONE. IS THAT WHAT WE'RE KIND OF HOVERING AROUND THE AMOUNT? OKAY. SO SO I THINK WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT WE HAVE TO, TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE. AND AT THE END OF TODAY'S MEETING, ARE WE OUT OF FUNDS FOR THE YEAR? THAT'S KIND OF MY. WHICH WOULD BE OKAY BECAUSE THE FISCAL YEAR ENDS IN WHAT, SEPTEMBER? OKAY. 150,079. FIVE BRANDS THAT OFFER A MINIMUM OF. THAT'S STILL IN THE BUDGET ABOUT. AND I THINK KEN WAS HEADED THIS DIRECTION. I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR US TO REVIEW EACH OF THE GRANTS, AND THEN WE WILL MAKE A VOTE ON HOW TO DISTRIBUTE THE FUNDS APPROPRIATELY. THAT WAS KIND OF WHAT WE SAID WHEN, SO THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY NOT AT THE END UNTIL AFTER ALL OF THIS. PERFECT. JIMMY. I NOTICED ON THIS ONE IT SAYS TOTAL PROJECT COSTS FORTHCOMING, BUT THE SUBTOTAL IS 95. SO WOULD IT DO YOU HAVE AN AMOUNT FOR US ON TOTAL, JUST SO WE WOULD KNOW WHAT 50% WOULD. IT'S PAGE 16. 
          ARABIA. OH, THIS IS. THIS HAS BEEN IT'S BEEN UPDATED. THAT'S WHERE IT. RIGHT. YES. WE'VE BEEN UPDATED. AND THE FINAL BID AMOUNT IS $88,078. 88. OKAY. AND OUR GRANTS ARE MATCHING FUNDS BECAUSE THIS BUSINESS STAYS OPEN TILL 8 P.M. TWO NIGHTS A WEEK. THEORETICALLY THEY'D BE ELIGIBLE FOR UP TO 50,000. BUT REALLY WE'RE LOOKING AT 50% OF PROJECT COSTS. 
          SO I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT UP TO 44 ON THIS ONE. SO SINCE WE'VE SINCE WE'VE ALREADY GIVEN SIDE STREET BAR MONEY BEFORE, DOES THAT LOWER THE AMOUNT WE'RE ELIGIBLE TO GIVE THEM? OR IS EACH PROJECT A STANDALONE? EACH APPLICATION IS A STANDALONE. SO IT'S MORE ACCESSIBLE. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST? ALL RIGHT. I DO KNOW AT ONE TIME THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO SELL IT. AND I THINK SOMEWHERE IN OUR THING IT SAYS THEY HAVE TO RESIDE THERE OR THE IT'S THE ESTABLISHMENT HAS TO BE THERE 18 MONTHS. 
          RIGHT? YEAH. I DO BELIEVE THAT THAT OFFER. OKAY. AND I WILL SAY I, I'VE NEVER BEEN TO I LOVE THE BISTRO PART OF THIS BEING KIND OF BROADCAST, IT SEEMS LIKE A LITTLE MORE WHOLESOME DOWNTOWN PIECE OF THIS. ARE THEY GOING TO EXPAND THE MENU? DO WE KNOW ANYTHING LIKE THAT? THEY HAVE NOT EXPECTED TO GROW BY LAST NIGHT JUST TO KIND OF. BUT AND THE BURGERS ARE EXCELLENT. JUST I CAN ATTEST FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. YEAH. NO, BUT I, I SAW PEOPLE GATHERING OUTSIDE, YOU KNOW, LAST NIGHT IN THE, IN THE HEAT AND MUSIC OUT THERE THEY PARTICIPATED IN THE WINE WALK. MEL AND DON HAVE REALLY BEEN ACTIVE IN SOME OF THE DOWNTOWN ACTIVATIONS. AND SO IT'S JUST BEEN A GREAT PARTNERSHIP IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO. SHE'S JUST REALLY STEPPED IN. THIS IS A QUESTION FOR THE CITY. JIMMY CAN WEIGH IN TOO. 
          WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT CODE COMPLIANCE IN DOWNTOWN. ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY CODE VIOLATIONS AT THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AT THIS TIME? OKAY. OKAY. THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES IN THE BACKGROUND TO START A LIST. AND I WILL ALSO SAY, JUST BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THE REST OF THE BOARD KNOWS THIS IN OUR PREVIOUS AWARD TO THEM, A LOT OF WHAT WE DID WAS INTERIOR STUFF, BUT WE DID GIVE THEM MONEY FOR PAINT, WHICH IS WHY IN THIS QUOTE, THE PAINT IS AT ZERO. I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH DON AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BASICALLY WE'VE HELD THAT MONEY WAITING FOR US TO DO THE BIG OUTSIDE, BUT WE'RE NOT. 
          Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY GIVEN US MONEY FOR THAT. SO. ALL RIGHT, IF IT PLEASES THE BOARD, WE'LL 
          [00:20:07]
MOVE ON TO THE ITEM 6.2, WHICH IS 211 EAST MOORE. OKAY, I GO AWAY. I DIDN'T SCHEDULE THAT CORRECTLY. THAT'S OKAY. BUT I WILL LET GRAYSON COME FORWARD. ALRIGHT. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS MARIO GONZALEZ. I'M REPRESENTING GRAYSON PEREZ FOR 211 EAST MORE AVENUE. THIS BUILDING HAS MORE THAN 100 YEARS OLD AND IT HAS THE ORIGINAL PLUMBING SYSTEM WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE TENANT NOT NOT THE TENANT, BUT THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR. THEY'RE HAVING ISSUES WITH WATER INFILTRATION IN THEIR WALLS BECAUSE THIS BUILDING HAS A HIGHER FLOOR ELEVATION THAN THEIR FLOOR ELEVATION. SO THEY'RE TRYING TO FINISH THE WALL WITH SOME PARGING, BUT THEY CANNOT FINISH THE WALL BECAUSE THERE IS HUMIDITY IN THE WALL THAT THEY CANNOT GET RID OF. RIGHT. AND IT IS COMING FROM OUR, OUR UNIT. 
          SO WE DID SOME INVESTIGATION INTO, YOU KNOW, THE ISSUES. WE SNAKE THE SYSTEM. WE ALSO. WE ALSO USE CAMERAS TO CHECK IF THE PLUMBING SYSTEM WAS WORKING FINE, BUT THE PIPES APPEAR TO BE BROKEN. THERE IS LIKE A WATER PONDING UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR, AND THE WHOLE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SO I THINK THAT THIS IS A CAST IRON SYSTEM, AND IT HAS TO BE UPDATED TO THE NEW CODES THAT ARE REQUIRED. THEN THE ROOF IS ALSO, I THINK, THE ORIGINAL ROOF. IT'S A METAL CLADDING ROOF. IT'S A VERY IT'S A VERY PRETTY BAD SHAPE. WE STILL DO NOT HAVE LIKE MAJOR LEAKS INSIDE THE BUILDING, BUT IT THEY'RE COMING, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL BE THERE SOON. RIGHT NOW THE BUILDING IS BEING USED AS A SAFE HAVEN TO THE COMMUNITY. WE DO HAVE SOME COUNSELING OFFICES, MEDICAL OFFICES, TAX OFFICES. AND I THINK THERE'S ANOTHER ONE READY TO REAL ESTATE, REAL ESTATE. BUSINESS. SO THE BUSINESS HOURS ARE FROM 8 TO 5. BUT USUALLY WE WE HAVE MEETINGS AFTER AFTER HOURS AS WELL, ESPECIALLY FOR THE COUNSELING, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE GO TO WORK AND THEY JUST HAVE TIME LIKE AFTER HOURS. SO OUR REQUEST IS TO SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME, YOU KNOW, OF THE GRANT SO WE CAN PERFORM THE REPAIRS THAT ARE REQUIRED IN THIS BUILDING. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS, BUT I CAN RESPOND. THANK YOU. QUESTIONS? THE BUILDING LOOKS NICE. THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, WE'RE ON THIS MISSION TO PUT AWNINGS ALL OVER TERRELL. AS I LOOK AT THIS BUILDING, I DON'T NECESSARILY SEE THAT AN AWNING IS A POSSIBILITY. NOT NOT A HUGE THING. YOU'RE AT THE END OF THE BLOCK. PEOPLE AREN'T NECESSARILY WALKING. I DON'T KNOW. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD. WHEN YOU SAID THE NEXT DOOR BUSINESS IS, IS GETTING SOME OF THAT WATER, IS IT SKINNY BUILDING OR IS IT THE OTHER SIDE SKINNY BUILDING? YES, AND IT'S RIGHT BESIDE OUR TOILETS. LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE WATER FILTRATION IS COMING FROM OUR TOILETS OR ANYTHING, THE TOILETS IN THEIR PROPERTY. AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME. YES. THE PLUMBING REPAIR, IT WOULD REQUIRE LIKE US TO REMOVE SOME OF THE CONCRETE PAVING AT THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY AND ALSO DO SOME TUNNELING UNDERNEATH THE THE FLOOR SLAB, BECAUSE WE CANNOT REMOVE THE FLOORING IF IT'S A BRAND NEW FLOOR AND WE GIVE THEM ALL THE OPTIONS AS WELL. I'D LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT. 
          I MEAN, WE'VE APPROVED SOME MAJOR FUNDS FOR THE OUTDOOR PUBLIC RESTROOMS FOR THE SKINNY BUILDING COMING UP. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'D BE NICE IF THEY COMMUNICATED TOGETHER ON THIS. IF THERE'S WOULD BE THE SAME TYPE OF DIGGING BEHIND IT OR WHATEVER IT IS SPEAKING WITH THEM, THEY HAVE GIVEN US SOME FEEDBACK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE EXPERIENCES WERE DURING THE REPAIRS. YES, YES. BUT THEY WERE STOPPED. LIKE THEY CANNOT CONTINUE AND FINISH THEIR WORK UNTIL WE FINISH ALL THE REPAIRS. SO IT'S AN EXTRA LAYER OF IMPORTANCE ON THAT. YES. AND I 
          [00:25:02]
THINK THAT RELAYS AWARE ABOUT THEIR ISSUES AS WELL. RIGHT. BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH THEM. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THEY GOT AHOLD OF THEM. SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE INVESTIGATING. SO IF IT WAS OUR SCOPE OF WORK OR THEIR SCOPE OF WORK. SURE. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OF THEIR. ASSETS IN ABILITY TO HAVE PEOPLE COME ON BOARD DONE ON THEIR SIDE. IT'S KIND OF A COMBINATION OF THE TWO. YES. SO SOMETHING THAT OUR BOARD WILL NEED TO EVALUATE IS WHETHER THIS QUALIFIES FOR A UP TO $25,000 MATCH OR UP TO $50,000 MATCH. YOU MENTIONED THAT SOME NIGHTS, YES, THERE'S COUNSELING. TO BE TRANSPARENT. WE ARE. I MEAN, I WORK IN AN OFFICE DOWNTOWN AS WELL. WE ARE TRYING TO ATTRACT MORE RETAIL, YOU KNOW, ESTABLISHMENTS WHERE THE GENERAL PUBLIC WILL BE GOING AT NIGHT. WE ALSO SEE VALUE IN LIGHTS BEING ON, YOU KNOW, IN OUR BUILDINGS LATER AT NIGHT JUST FOR SECURITY PURPOSES AND CREATE SOME ENERGY DOWNTOWN. SO THAT I, WHEN WE KIND OF SET OUT THESE RULES, IT HAD NEVER OCCURRED TO ME THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME OFFICES THAT ARE OPEN INTO THE NIGHT AS WELL. AND TO TORY'S POINT OF Y'ALL'S BUILDING ALREADY LOOKS EXCELLENT. AND IT DOESN'T REALLY SUIT TO HAVE AN AWNING. HOWEVER, YOU DO HAVE AN OVERHANG. SO NOT PART OF THIS REQUEST, JUST KIND OF A REQUEST FROM ME IS IF WE COULD DO LIKE SOME KIND OF CAFE LIGHTING UP UNDERNEATH THAT WAS ON AT NIGHT, JUST JUST TO GIVE THAT FRONT PORCH WELCOMING VIBE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE DOWNTOWN. YOU KNOW, THERE'S VERY LITTLE YOU COULD DO TO IMPROVE THE EXTERIOR OF YOUR BUILDING, BUT I THINK THAT WOULD JUST GIVE IT UP UNDER YOUR UNDERHANG JUST A LITTLE EXTRA. YEAH. PLEASE. I. KNOW. AND. I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, I, I. I. AND I. I. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT REQUEST? THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS 305 WEST MOORE. MR. COOPER BACK UP BECAUSE HE'S GOT TWO MORE ADDRESSES THAT HE WORKED ON FOR YOU. AND THIS IS THE ALL IN ONE SPORTS BUILDING. 
          VERY TYPICAL OF YOUR BUILDING DOWNTOWN IN YOU KNOW, I'M SURE THEY WERE A JEWEL IN THEIR DAY. 
          BUT THE POLISHES COME OFF SOME OF THE JEWEL JUST WITH AGE ON THIS ONE. CAN I, CAN I SEE THE PICTURE? WE'LL COME BACK TO THE NUMBERS. YEAH. THAT IT WAS REALLY HARD TO SEE IF WE COULD PULL THAT UP. YOU HAVE YOU HAVE YOUR BASIC SET UP OF THE DOWNTOWN BUILDINGS. YOU HAVE ABOUT ANYWHERE FROM A 16 TO 20 FOOT FRONTAGE. YOU HAVE YOUR STOREFRONT WINDOWS ON EITHER SIDE WITH A PAIR OF THERE WE GO. THE JARVIS BUILDING RIGHT THERE, PAIR OF STOREFRONT WINDOWS WITH A PAIR OF DOORS GOING IN THE CENTER, YOU HAVE YOUR CLEAR STORY THAT HAS BEEN BLOCKED OUT LIKE MOST OF THEM DID ONCE AIR CONDITIONING FINALLY GOT PUT INTO THE BUILDINGS, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY COVERED THAT UP SO THAT THEY COULD PUT THEIR DUCTS AND PIPES AND EVERYTHING UP IN THE CEILING. AND I'M GOING TO COME BACK TO THE RIGHT HAND TOP CORNER OF THE JARVIS BUILDING. YOU SEE A LITTLE IMPERFECTION THERE. I'M GOING TO I WILL MENTION MORE ABOUT THAT IN JUST A MINUTE. BUT ON THE PRICING THAT I DID FOR THIS ONE. AGAIN, I'M GOING TO HAVE 
          [00:30:02]
TO PUT AN INTERIOR BARRICADE IN SO THAT THEY CAN STILL FUNCTION BECAUSE THE NOTES ON THE PROJECT TOLD ME TO RIP OUT THE ENTIRE STOREFRONT. SO EVERYTHING FROM THAT FIRST BRICK DOWN, I'M BASICALLY REBUILDING WITH LUMBER. SO THE FIRST BRICK BELOW THE JARVIS SIGN OR THE, THE BRICK THAT'S RIGHT ABOVE. YES. I BELIEVE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME BRICK. IT'S THIS BAND RIGHT ABOVE THOSE WINDOWS, NOT THAT NAIL. OH THAT ONE. OKAY. I HAVE TO REALLY KIND OF BUILD THAT WHOLE REBUILD THAT ENTIRE STOREFRONT STRUCTURE. AND SINCE WE'RE GOING IN HERE, WE'RE GOING TO MAYBE IF WE'RE GOING TO KICK THE CEILING BACK ON, THE OFFICIAL SYMBOL FOR THAT, WE CAN OPEN UP THOSE STAIRS FOR ANYBODY IN THE NEXT MONTH SO THAT YOU WOULD HAVE A NICE NEW WINDOWS WOULD WINDOW SET. THAT'S MORE PERIOD APPROPRIATE. 
          IS THAT GOING TO SEE MY ON MY QUOTE? IT'S PRETTY MUCH FOLLOW THE SAME PATTERN AS AS SIDE STREET AS FAR AS WE HAVE TO PUT A TEMPORARY WALL IN THE CARPENTRY, THE GLASS ON THIS ONE, THEY SAID WE COULD GO AHEAD AND USE QUARTER INCH GLASS INSTEAD OF THE THERMAL GLASS. SO THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOT PRICED. AND NOW TO THE TO THE TOP CORNER. THE OLD BUILDINGS HAD A LEVEL OF BRICK AND THEN THEY HAD CERAMIC TILE STONE THAT WAS LIKE A PARAPET CAP, AND THAT KEPT WATER FROM GOING DOWN INTO THE BRICKS. WELL THAT PARAPET CAP WENT AWAY A LONG TIME. SO NOW YOU HAVE YOUR METAL PIECE OF COPING FROM THERE TO THE END. AT SOME POINT, THOSE BRICKS ON THE END CRUMBLED, AND THAT AND THAT METAL CAP HAS BEEN PUSHED UP IN THE AIR AND WON'T SIT BACK DOWN FLUSH. SO I GUESS MY WHOLE. ADMONISHMENT ON THIS IS, IF YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS BUILDING THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE THOSE BRICKS REALLY START CRUMBLING ACROSS THERE. THE PRICE INCLUDES THINKING ABOUT THE 4 OR 5 TOP LAYER BRICKS, TAKING THEM ALL THE WAY OFF, RESETTING THEM, PUTTING IN NEW ANCHORS SO THE NEW METAL COPING CAN GO IN AND EVERYTHING WILL FIT DOWN. IF THAT'S LEFT LIKE THAT IN 5 TO 10 YEARS, YOU COULD REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SOMETHING FALLING ON THE SIDEWALK. SO YOU WOULD TAKE THE EXISTING BRICKS AND PUT THEM IN OR PUT IN DIFFERENT BRICKS. NO, NO, WE WOULD PUT IN DIFFERENT BRICKS. OKAY. BECAUSE THE OTHER THING THAT IS CALLED FOR IS FOR THE ENTIRE FRONT TO BE PAINTED. 
          WHAT COLOR? DON'T GET INTO THOSE. THEY TELL ME TO PAINT IT. DO WE HAVE BUILDING STANDARDS AROUND PAINT COLORS? OKAY, OKAY. THE HERITAGE AT THE SERIES. OKAY. DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE GOING TO USE THE EXISTING FRONT DOORS? THAT'S THE WAY I HAD IT PRICED. HOWEVER, I GOT TO THINKING ABOUT THAT THE OTHER NIGHT. I DO MY BEST THINKING AT NIGHT NOW THAT I'VE GOTTEN OLDER. WE COULD WE COULD PUT A PAIR OF METAL DOORS SINCE EVERYTHING ELSE IS BEING PAINTED THERE. WE COULD PUT IN A PAIR OF EXTERIOR METAL DOORS. I LITERALLY WENT IN THOSE DOORS ON WEDNESDAY OF THIS WEEK. THEY'RE A LITTLE WEAK. I WAS AMAZED THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE THOSE OUT. 
          WELL, I WAS JUST GOING BY THE NOTES I WAS GIVEN ON THE PROJECT. THEY NEVER DID TELL ME TO CHANGE THE DOORS IF THEY OPTED TO KEEP THE EXISTING ALUMINUM DOORS, COULD THEY BE PAINTED BLACK TO KIND OF MAKE THEM GO AWAY? IS THAT POSSIBLE ON THAT? I WOULD I WOULD NOT PAINT AN EXISTING SET. OKAY. IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO LAST. BUT I THINK WE COULD GO. 
          WHEREAS THE ONES ON SIDE STREET WERE CUSTOM WOOD DOORS THAT ARE REALLY, REALLY NICE. I THINK HERE WE COULD GET A SET OF NICE DOORS THAT ARE PAINT GRADE THAT I THINK WE CAN GET A, YOU KNOW, PUT IN A WHOLE. I'M REFRAMING THE WHOLE THING ANYWAY WE COULD. IT WOULDN'T BE THAT HARD TO DO. 
          EXACTLY. THAT'S ALL. YOU KNOW, BY THE TIME IT'S, YOU KNOW, I THINK A PAIR OF METAL DOORS WOULD BE SIX, $800,000. IT'S NOT I WOULDN'T I WOULDN'T CHANGE THE QUOTE QUOTE. THAT'S MY FAULT FOR NOT PICKING IT UP THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS NOT A BUILDING BUSINESS. OPEN PAST 8 P.M. TO MY KNOWLEDGE. SPORTING GOODS STORE. I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE SUPER NICE COUPLE THAT 
          [00:35:05]
OWN IT. YES, THEY HAVE EVERY TYPE OF SHIRT, HAT, SOCCER ACCESSORY AND IT'S PRETTY AMAZING THE INVENTORY THEY HAVE IN THERE. THEY'RE A LOVELY COUPLE, BUT THEY'RE UP IN AGE. 
          AND SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF ALL IN ONE SPORTS IS GOING TO STAY IN THERE FOR, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST KIND OF POINTED THAT DIRECTION. YEAH. THERE'S A TROPHY PLACE FOR APPAREL NOW. THAT'S WHERE YOU GET ALL YOUR LOCAL LEAGUES. YOU GET ALL YOUR. SOMETHING I WILL BRING TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION IS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THAT BUSINESS DAY IS IN THERE, THAT IS THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE FACADE GRANT IS TO CHANGE WHAT THE OUTSIDE LOOKS LIKE AND THAT STATE, WHATEVER IMPROVEMENTS DONE TO THE OUTSIDE STAYS, REGARDLESS OF WHAT IF THE BUSINESS CHANGES AND IF WORST CASE SCENARIO, THEY CLOSE TOMORROW. IF WE HAVE THE FRONT OF THAT BUILDING RENOVATED, IT'S WE'VE WE, THE BOARD HAVE STILL ACCOMPLISHED OUR PURPOSE IN THIS ALSO. YOU KNOW, IT'S ALSO KIND OF CONFUSING IN MY MIND AND MAY BE CONFUSING FOR OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE WE DID SET ASIDE PAINT ON. THERE WERE CERTAIN THINGS WE ENUMERATED IN OUR BUDGET THAT WE WERE GOING TO JUST COVER THE COST OF COMPLETELY, 100%, BECAUSE WE WANTED TO INCENTIVIZE THESE PEOPLE TO DO THESE MAJOR RENOVATIONS AND HAVE THIS HUGE, MAJOR CHANGE TO THE CURB APPEAL. SO IT IS BEING DONE UNDER THE FACADE GRANT APPLICATION, WHICH SAYS IT'S CAPPED AT 25. BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE THIS POOL OF MONEY OVER HERE THAT WE SAID WAS GOING TO BE 100% COVERED. AND SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WE SQUARE THOSE CONTRASTING THINGS, BUT I WILL SAY, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR DOWNTOWN AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LET US DO IT FOR YOU BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. THIS BUILDING IS IN MY TOP FIVE PERSONALLY. SO THAT'S I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO HELP THEM OUT BECAUSE IT HELPS ALL OF US OUT. 
          WELL, AND IT HAS IN THE AGREEMENT THAT IF AND I'M NOT SAYING THEY WOULDN'T STAY IN BUSINESS AND IF SOMETHING CAME IN THERE AND DID A DIFFERENT BUSINESS, IT'S STILL A BUSINESS. 
          IT'S JUST BECAUSE THERE'S A NOTE IN HERE THAT SAYS THE 18 MONTHS AND THEN THERE'S A FORFEITURE IF THEY DID GO OUT OF BUSINESS. SO IT'S IN IT'S BUILT IN THERE FOR OUR PROTECTION. SO IT'S NOT THAT WE WOULDN'T APPROVE IT. IT'S THERE'S COVERAGE IN CASE SOMETHING POINT. THAT'S WHY YOUR SIDE STREET AND THE OTHER TWO ADDRESSES AREN'T ON THE PADDOCK INCENTIVE GRANT FORM, BECAUSE THIS WAS MONEY THAT Y'ALL SET ASIDE LIKE LIKE MISS HILLARY SAID, THIS WAS MONEY YOU SET ASIDE SIDE THAT SAID, PLEASE, IF YOU'LL JUST COME ASK US FOR HELP. WE WANTED TO PROVIDE THAT EXTERIOR RENOVATION AND LOOK. SO TO YOUR POINT, WHEN WE GO DOWN TO AND WE ALL GET OUR CALCULATORS OUT FOR Y'ALL TO MAKE MOTIONS. 
          LUCKILY JIMMY PROVIDED A BREAKDOWN. AND SO YOU CAN LITERALLY GO IN AND SAY, OKAY, THIS IS AT 100%, AND THEN WE CAN GO BACK TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AND SAY, HEY, HERE'S EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN COVER RIGHT NOW, AND THEN WE'LL WORK OUT THE, THE OTHER DETAILS. SO Y'ALL, Y'ALL WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT EACH, EACH APPLICATION AND TALK ABOUT, DOES THAT MEET THE 100% FACADE THAT WE WERE OFFERING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND LOOK AT THINGS DIFFERENTLY? SO YEAH, THOSE TWO ARE ELIGIBLE UNDER THAT AND THE TITLE OR THE IS IT SEPARATE? OKAY. BECAUSE THAT WASN'T JUST OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PROJECT FOR MR. COOPER? I WANT TO BE SENSITIVE TO TIME. I KNOW CARLTON HAS A 9:00 COMMITMENT. I DO WANT TO WELL, I WANT TO QUICKLY HEAR MR. MORROW'S PROPOSAL FOR THE ADDRESS IS 307 WEST GROVE, AND THEN WE'LL ROLL INTO THE EDC. THANK YOU. JIMMY. OKAY. JOHN, YOU DO IT. YOU DO IT, JIMMY. 
          OKAY. ALL RIGHT. MORRIS. BARBERSHOP. THAT IS ACTUALLY HOW IT LOOKS. AND IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR AI DRAWINGS, WE WE'VE MOVED IT TO ONE DOOR AND ONE BUSINESS. THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO BUSINESSES THERE. THE BARBERSHOP IS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. THERE'S A WOODWORKING SHOP ON THE LEFT. AND AS YOU SEE IN THIS PICTURE, THE FRONT THERE WERE ON THE EXISTING. 
          THERE'S A FRONT AREA THAT PULLS OUT AND HAS A SIDING AROUND IT, WHICH IS FINE, BUT IF I WAS TO TRULY TRY TO. THERE YOU GO. YOU SEE THE THE GRAY SIDING AT THE TOP. IF I WAS TRULY TRYING TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THE PICTURE, I'D HAVE TO RIP ALL THAT DOWN AND REDO THE WHOLE ROOF. SO I DIDN'T DO THAT. SO THIS IS WHAT I'VE DONE. I'VE PRICED IN, TAKEN OUT ALL THE SIDING, REBUILDING THAT FRONT AREA. LET'S PUT SOME CEDAR PLANKS THAT ARE THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, UP 
          [00:40:07]
AND DOWN THAT WE CAN PUT A NICE SIGN ACROSS THE FRONT. IF YOU GO BACK TO THE EXISTING ONE, THERE YOU GO, A NICE SIDE, A SIDE ACROSS THE FRONT. WE'RE GOING TO GIVE HIM A BARBER. 
          BARBER POLE ON THE RIGHT. SOME LIGHTING ALL ACROSS THE FRONT. AND LET'S SEE THAT'S THE SIGNAGE. AND THEN OF COURSE POWER FOR ALL THOSE. AND THAT WILL MAKE THAT BUILDING LOOK 100% BETTER. AND WE'RE GOING TO PAINT THE ENTIRE BUILDING. OKAY. NOW I DON'T SEE IN YOUR IN YOUR QUOTE THE AWNING. AND FRANKLY, IN A I PICTURE, ALL I CAN SEE IS THE AWNING. HOW DO WE MAKE THAT HAPPEN? THE AWNING IS NOT GOING TO WORK UNLESS I TAKE OUT THAT WHOLE FRONT AND REBUILD HIS WHOLE ROOF. THAT THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF THE THAT GETS INTO THAT. SO TWO VERSUS THREE. 
          YEAH. AND I, I, I GET THAT. ARE WE ENVISIONING IF WE CAN'T DO AN AWNING, ARE WE ENVISIONING A PAINT SCHEME THAT MIMICS THAT? I MEAN, OR ARE WE JUST WE DON'T NEED TO LOOK AT THE AI RIGHT THERE. THAT'S THE BAND AROUND THE FRONT. YEAH. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ALL THAT SIGN OFF, PREPARE THE SUBSURFACE, ALL THAT. AND I, I SUGGEST YOU PUT YOUR FINGER VERTICALLY. OKAY. WHERE YOU WHERE YOU HAVE A NICE SEALED CEDAR THAT'S GOING TO GIVE A WOOD LOOK. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GIVE HIM A SIGN THAT SAYS MORALES BARBERSHOP SAYING BLACK OR SOMETHING THAT'LL SET UP AGAINST THAT CEDAR. THINK ABOUT LAYING ON US DOWN THERE ON ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WATER SUPPLY. WHEN WYLIE OWNED THAT BUILDING, WE WENT IN THERE AND WE KIND OF DID A DECORATIVE LITTLE THING. HEY, DID IT BRING EVERYTHING UP TO WHERE WE WANT IT TO BE? NO, BUT IT MADE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. AND IT REALLY WAS NICE NOW. SO THE ACTUAL TWO DOORS WOULD STILL BE THERE. YES. OKAY. WILL YOU REMIND US WHAT INVESTMENT WE'VE ALREADY MADE ON THIS PROPERTY? YOU HAVE 8475 AND THAT WAS FOR PLUMBING AND INTERIOR REPAIRS. OKAY, SO IT WAS AC, PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL. THANK YOU. 
          ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. COOPER? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THERE'S GOING TO BE MUCH DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW TO DIVIDE THESE FUNDS UP, WHICH PROJECTS WE MIGHT WANT TO FUND. 
          BEFORE WE DO THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE CARLTON UP FOR ITEM 6.3 ON THE AGENDA UPDATE FROM TERRELL EDC. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR AND BOARD I. I TAKE IT FOR THE TERRELL EDC UPDATE. YOU PROBABLY WANT TO HEAR SOME PLANS FOR THE BRAND BUILDING. I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT TODAY. SO AS YOU KNOW, WE DID CLOSE ON THE BUILDING AND PLANS ARE ARE BEING MADE. NOW WE HAVE A DESIGN GROUP WORKING ON THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING. AND SO FIRST PART THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE TOLD THEM, AS WE OBVIOUSLY WANT TO MAINTAIN AS MUCH OF THE HISTORICAL INTEGRITY OF THE BUILDING AS WE CAN. FOR INSTANCE, THE THIRD FLOOR HAS THE PAINTED VAULT OR SKYLIGHT THAT WAS THAT'S ORIGINAL TO THE BRANT OPERA HOUSE, AND WE WANT TO SAVE THAT IF WE CAN. IT DOES HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF WATER DAMAGE TO IT. IT'LL HAVE TO BE REPAINTED IN SOME AREAS, BUT WE WANT TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO PRESERVE THAT PART. WE DO KNOW WE FOUND PICTURES FROM THE EARLY 1900S, AND I'M CERTAIN NONE OF Y'ALL REMEMBER THAT I DON'T. BUT THERE'S ACTUALLY A GENERAL STORE IN THERE. WHEN PHILIP BRANT BUILT THE BUILDING. AND SO AS PART OF HELPING TO KEEP DOWNTOWN OPEN AT NIGHT, WE. IN FACT, IT WAS TIE, I THINK, TIE STILL HERE THAT CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF HAVING SOMETHING IN THERE AT NIGHT. NOW, WE DON'T WANT, IF WE IF WE PUT A RETAILER IN THERE, WE'RE PICKING WINNERS AND LOSERS. AND WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. BUT HOWEVER, WHAT WE MAY CONSIDER AND THE BOARD HADN'T APPROVED THIS YET, BUT I DO BRING IT UP AS AN IDEA IS MAYBE WE PUT IN A STORE TYPE OF TERRELL ITEMS ONLY, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU HAVE MAYBE A HAM ORCHARD SECTION. 
          [00:45:03]
YOU HAVE A BRITISH FLYING TRAINING SCHOOL, YOU HAVE AN ISD, YOU HAVE A CITY OF TERRELL SECTION, MAINLY JUST A TERRIBLE BLING KIND OF PART OF THAT TO BRING BACK THE GENERAL STORE CONCEPT WHEN THE BUILDING WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT, AND IT KEEPS A LIGHT ON DOWNTOWN TILL 7:00 AT NIGHT AND GIVE SOMETHING FOR PEOPLE TO COME DOWN AND DO. AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL ENCOURAGE MORE STORE OWNERS TO KEEP THEIR BUSINESS OPEN, AT LEAST UNTIL THAT TIME. SO AGAIN, THOSE ARE JUST I JUST ONE OF THE IDEAS THAT'S BEEN KICKED AROUND IN ORDER TO KEEP A LIGHT ON DOWNTOWN, WE DO THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. AS FAR AS THE INSIDE OF THE BUILDING GOES. AND SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT'LL BE MADE, THERE'LL BE. A BOARDROOM PUT IN MORE OF A TRAINING ROOM FOR OUR SMALL BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURIAL FOLKS TO USE AS TRAINING. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO US TO HELP PEOPLE GET BUSINESS STARTED. IF YOU'LL REMEMBER, DURING OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, SOME OF YOU WERE INVOLVED WITH THAT. WE FOUND THAT OUR LABOR PARTICIPATION RATE WAS VERY LOW. WE WERE SURPRISED TO SEE THAT BECAUSE WE ARE A REGIONAL HUB FOR JOBS. AND SO WHAT WE FOUND OUT WAS THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BUSINESSES IN THEIR HOMES. SO WE WANT TO GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY EITHER TO HAVE A SHARED OFFICE SPACE, OF WHICH THEY'LL BE SOME OF US. WE WILL FOR A START UP BUSINESS. WE'LL HAVE A COUPLE OF OFFICE SPACES THAT WILL SUBSIDIZE THE LEASE ON IN ORDER FOR THEM TO HELP GET THEIR THEIR BUSINESS STARTED, AS WELL AS OFFICES FOR RENT, FOR BUSINESSES THAT ARE CURRENTLY GOING, AND SOME OF THEM THAT ARE THAT ARE ALREADY THERE. SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE IN THE PLANS RIGHT NOW. ON AUGUST THE 20TH, OUR BOARD WILL SEE THE DRAWINGS AND WE'LL HOPEFULLY APPROVE THOSE. AND WE SHOULD BE STARTED ON CONSTRUCTION, HOPEFULLY IN OCTOBER SOMETIME AND WOULD LIKE TO MOVE IN NEXT SUMMER. SO I WILL BE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE OR ANY IDEAS YOU MAY HAVE. AND OF COURSE, ANY IDEAS Y'ALL BRING TO US WILL BE GREAT. WE'LL WE'LL EVALUATE THOSE AND THEN JUST COME BACK WITH A GRANT REQUEST TO, TO, TO DO THOSE. 
          NOT REALLY. WELL, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY, CAN WE OFFER YOU AN AWNING? YEAH, I, I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT ON THE KIND OF TERRELL SPIRIT SHOP IDEA. I LOVE THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, MOM AND I, IT'S KIND OF A HOBBY OF OURS TO TRAVEL AROUND TO DIFFERENT SMALL TOWNS. AND SEVERAL OF THEM HAVE HAD A CHAMBER TYPE SHOP THAT HAD BOOKS ABOUT THE HOUSES IN TOWN. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, WE, WE HAVE SO MUCH OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT IN TERRELL. AND, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THE HERITAGE MUSEUM SELLS SEVERAL DIFFERENT BOOKS ABOUT TERRELL HISTORY, BUT TO HAVE A SECONDARY LOCATION THAT'S A LITTLE MORE ON THE RADAR OF PEOPLE WHO AREN'T NATIVE TO TERRELL, I THINK IS A HUGE WIN. YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES FOR ISD SPIRIT SHOP THINGS THAT WE WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A STOREFRONT RIGHT NOW THAT KIND OF SPECIALIZES IN THAT. AND SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY THERE. AND LIKE I SAID, THAT WHOLE DOWNTOWN FRONT PORCH VIBE, I THINK THAT THAT IS GOING TO GO GREAT. AND THAT AND IT'S A GREAT USE OF THAT BUILDING. THANK YOU. YEAH. THERE'S ALSO PART OF THE RENTAL AGREEMENTS THAT WE WERE GOING THROUGH HAS A SIGNED ORDINANCE IN IT THAT WASN'T ALWAYS. FOLLOWED. AND FINES HAVE TO LOOK HISTORICAL. AND SO WE WILL PROBABLY BE GOING BACK TO THAT SO THAT THEY LOOK. AT THE AGE OF THE BUILDING. ARABIA, WILL YOU PLEASE PULL UP THE 102 EAST MORE? YOU'RE ON IT. THANK YOU. KIM, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING? CARLTON, WHEN DID YOU CLOSE ON THE BUILDING? WE CLOSED ON THE BUILDING JULY 22ND. OKAY. THANK YOU. I NOTICED SOME REPAIRS TO THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE BUILDING. THE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF COVERED UP THE MURAL THAT WAS THERE ANY PLANS TO RESTORE THAT MURAL OR DO A NEW MURAL OR PAINT OVER THE MURAL? WHAT I UNDERSTAND RAYLAND ACTUALLY HAS BEEN OR THE CITY'S BEEN HANDLING THAT. SO THEY'VE GOT THE THE PLASTER HAS BEEN REFURBISHED. I THINK JARED CONSTRUCTION DID THAT. AND THEY HAVE CONTACTED THE ORIGINAL ARTIST OF THAT MURAL AND IT'LL IT'LL BE PUT BACK IN PLACE. SO WE'RE ALL ABOUT PRESERVING THAT. I WAS GOING TO PAINT OVER IT. THIS IS CATHERINE STREET, RIGHT? 
          [00:50:06]
THIS IS WHERE THE FUTURE PARKLET COULD BE ADJACENT TO NOW THE EDC BUILDING. SO AS YOU LOOK AT THIS VISUAL, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THIS IS LIKE IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN AND I MEAN, WELL APPOINTED PLACEMENT NEXT TO A POTENTIAL FUTURE PARKLET. AND THE REASON I MAKE MY TACKY COMMENT ABOUT THE MURAL, IT'S NOT THAT THE MURALIST ISN'T TALENTED AND IT'S NOT A NEAT MURAL, BUT KNOWING THAT THIS IS ABOUT TO BE A PARKLET, I WAS HOPEFUL, YOU KNOW, EITHER FOR A CLEAN SURFACE OR A MORE KIND OF GENERALIZED TERRELL MURAL. THIS IS THE CIRCUS MURAL ON THE SIDE OF THIS BUILDING, WHICH IS REALLY COOL AND HAS SOME NEAT HISTORY BEHIND IT. BUT IF THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE MOST HEAVILY TRAVELED CORNERS OF TERRELL, I JUST KIND OF QUESTION, IS THAT THE MURAL WE WANT IN EVERY BACK OF EVERYBODY'S PICTURES? ONE THING THAT WE WILL BE WORKING ON AND, AND TY AND I BOTH WITNESSED IT WHEN WE WERE IN THE BUILDING LAST WEEK. AND IT'S ONE OF EXCUSE ME, IT'S ONE OF TY'S FAVORITE THINGS. HE LOVES GHOST STORIES AND GHOSTS. SO I MAY LET HIM COME TELL YOU THIS STORY. IN FACT, WHY DON'T YOU COME ON, TY, AND YOU CAN TELL THE STORY. AS AS WE GO INTO CONSTRUCTION AND START TO MOVE THINGS AROUND, WE. WE MAY DECIDE TO HAVE A HALLOWEEN PARTY THERE. I'M NOT SURE WITH. SO ANYWAY, TY, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE YOUR FUN WITH THE. WHICH ONE? THE ELEVATOR. WELL, I'LL PROVIDE AN INTRODUCTION TO MYSELF FIRST. MY NAME IS TY BERINGER. I'M THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER FOR THE TERRELL EDC. I'VE BEEN HERE FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS NOW, AND I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THE CITY THAT IS COMMITTED TO REDEVELOPING AND REDOING THEIR DOWNTOWN. PREVIOUSLY, I CAME FROM A CITY THAT WAS VERY COMMITTED TO REDOING THEIR DOWNTOWN. THROUGH MY FIVE YEARS THERE, I HELPED WITH ABOUT $7.5 MILLION OF PRIVATE INVESTMENT, AND THERE'S A PROJECT THAT I WAS WORKING ON THAT RECENTLY JUST GOT APPROVED. THAT WAS $15 MILLION WORTH OF PRIVATE INVESTMENT. WHILE THERE, WE HAD 5050 BUILDINGS IN OUR INVENTORY, 25 APPROXIMATELY, WERE VACANT BY THE TIME I LEFT. WE ONLY HAD THREE THAT WERE VACANT. AND SO I SEE KIND OF THE SAME BONES HERE IS WHENEVER I GOT TO THAT CITY, AND I'M EXCITED TO BE A PART OF, OF A STORY THAT IS TRYING TO REDO THEIR DOWNTOWN AND HOPEFULLY I CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THAT. AS FOR THE THE GHOST STORY, I AM NOT A FAN OF OF GHOSTS. AND, YOU KNOW, I TRY TO RATIONALIZE EVERYTHING IN MY MY HEAD AS TO WHY THINGS HAPPEN. 
          BUT YEAH, WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE BUILDING AND I'M STANDING THERE IN THE ELEVATOR DOOR JUST OPENS BY ITSELF WHILE WE'RE TALKING. AND I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WEIRD BECAUSE THE ELEVATOR HARDLY WORKS NOW, SO WHY WOULD IT OPEN? ANYWAYS, THE DOOR OPENS AND NOBODY GETS ON WELL, THEN IT JUST KEEPS OPENING AND CLOSING, OPENING AND CLOSING. AND SO I DECIDED TO SEND IT UP. AND MOST ELEVATORS, THEY'LL READ THAT YOUR BODY IS IN THE WAY AND IT WILL STOP BEFORE SHUTTING. WELL, IT DID NOT STOP AND HIT MY SHOULDER AND KNOCKED ME OFF MY FEET. BUT ANYWAYS, YEAH, THE THE GHOST THAT'S IN THERE RIGHT NOW DOES NOT LIKE ME. AND SO WE'LL BE WORKING TO GET WHATEVER SPIRIT IS THERE OUT. BUT ALSO I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE BUILDING. I THINK PRESERVING SOME OF THE STORY THAT WAS THERE WITH THE GENERAL STORE, THE, THE THERE'S NO NAME TO IT YET, BUT KIND OF PROVIDING A TASTE OF TAROT. 
          WHEN PEOPLE COME HERE, THEY CAN KIND OF HAVE THAT PRIDE OR BUILD THAT PRIDE OF COMING INTO TOWN AND GRAB SOMETHING THAT IS A TASTE OF TAROT. SO AGAIN, I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH EACH OF Y'ALL. THANK YOU. CARLTON IS YOU. YOU CAN TELL ME IF THIS ISN'T BEEN DECIDED YET, BUT ARE YOU ENVISIONING, YOU KNOW, WHICH FLOOR IS THE EDC OFFICES? WHICH FLOOR IS THE TRAINING FACILITY THAT YOU MENTIONED? WHAT ARE THE RIGHT NOW IT THE THE PLANS THAT OUR BOARD WILL BE LOOKING AT ON THURSDAY HAS BOTH THE EDC AND THE CHAMBER ON THE FIRST FLOOR, AND THE TRAINING ROOM WILL AS WELL BE ON THE FIRST FLOOR. THERE'S NEARLY 6200FT■!S, WHICH IS DOUBE MORE THAN DOUBLE THE SIZE OF THE CURRENT CHAMBER BUILDING. 
          AND SO AND THAT'S JUST THE FIRST FLOOR. SO THAT IS WHERE THE TRAINING ROOM WILL BE, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GIVE ACCESS TO THAT ROOM FOR USE IN THE EVENINGS. YOU KNOW, WE THERE'S 
          [00:55:07]
A LOT OF TRAINING, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT GOES ON THE CHAMBER AT NIGHT. AND SO YOU HAVE TO GIVE ACCESS TO THAT WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO GET THROUGH THE OFFICES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO ALL OF THAT WILL RIGHT NOW IS BEING DESIGNED TO BE ON THE FIRST FLOOR. DO YOU KNOW IF ANY OF YOUR TENANTS INTEND TO STAY? AS FAR AS WE KNOW THEY DO, YES. SO THE CHAMBER PORTION OF THE BUILDING WOULD BE ON THE LEFT SIDE. OKAY. I SEE CHAMBER AND EDC AND EDC. 
          WELL, ACTUALLY. WELL, WHEN I SAY THE TENANTS STAY WELL WE WILL, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL BE DISCUSSIONS. THEY MAY NOT BE ON THE SAME FLOOR, BUT THEY STAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR CARLTON ABOUT THE FUTURE HOME OF EDC AND CHAMBER? THANK YOU FOR YOUR INVESTMENT IN DOWNTOWN. THANK YOU. ROLAND. DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT WE GO BACK TO ITEM 6.2, OR IS THERE ANY VALUE IN HEARING UPDATES ON SOME OF THE OTHER DOWNTOWN CAPITAL PROJECTS? WOULD THAT AT ALL FACTOR INTO OUR DECISION? IT COULD, BECAUSE I MISS. OKAY. IS THE BOARD OKAY IF WE HEAR THAT ITEM? NEXT, I WANT TO BE RESPECTFUL OF EVERYBODY'S TIME. YEAH. AND IF WE MOVE TO DOWNTOWN UPDATES, THAT'S. SO AT THIS TIME, THE BOARD WILL DISCUSS AND CONSIDER FY 2026 DOWNTOWN CAPITAL PROJECT UPDATES AND FUNDING REQUESTS. SO JUST TO GO DOWN THE LIST THAT WE CARRY EVERY MONTH, CATHERINE PARKLET, FULL DESIGN. WE WILL BE UNDER CONTRACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 27 WITH TOURS NUMBER ONE, IT WILL BE FINALIZING SOME OF THE US 80 LIGHTING PROJECTS. OUR ENGINEERS WERE IN TOWN THIS WEEK AND MET WITH ENCORE, SO WE ARE FINALIZING ALL OF THOSE SPECS AND GETTING THE COST TOGETHER FOR THAT SOUTH ALLEY IN YOUR PACKET. I INCLUDED THE BID TAB FOR THE WROUGHT IRON FENCING AND THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES, AND DO HAVE A STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR THAT. I HIGHLIGHTED WHAT THE LOW BIDS WERE WHEN IT COMES TO TOTAL BASE BID. ALSO, THE COST OF THE JUST WROUGHT IRON. WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR WAS THE BASE BID, PLUS THE ALTERNATE. AND THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE PRICE, IF WE WANTED TO ADD ADDITIONAL DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES. I KNOW I'VE BEEN TALKING TO PERCY ABOUT GETTING SOME OUT OF THE PARK. DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES ARE SOMETHING THAT WE REQUIRE OF DEVELOPERS. AND SO USING THIS UNIT PRICE, WE MAY WANT TO TO ADD SOME MORE OF THOSE. SO TRYING TO STAY WITH THE LOW BID, BUT GOING WITH THE LOWER DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE UNIT PRICE STAFF RECOMMENDS CONCORD COMMERCIAL SERVICES. AND SO THAT WOULD BE A FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 254,000, WHICH WILL GIVE Y'ALL SOME ADDITIONAL MONEY IN THAT FACADE LINE ITEM BECAUSE WE WE HAD MORE THAN THAT SET ASIDE. SO A FEW OTHER THINGS GOING ON. I'M GOING TO LET ANGIE COME UP BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT GOING ON DOWNTOWN, AND I LIKE TO LET HER BRAG ABOUT THAT. REACHED OUT TO A LOT OF YOUR RECENTLY AWARDED OWNERS AND TENANTS, AND IN SEPTEMBER YOU WILL HAVE AN UPDATE FROM PENA DEVELOPMENT. ALSO M AND F REAL ESTATE. I'VE SPOKEN WITH DEVONNA WITH BMT. I HAVE AN EMAIL FROM HER. SHE'S LOOKING FOR A NEW DEVELOPER AND A NEW PARTNER WITH THAT PROJECT. SO I'M GOING TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HER BEFORE NEXT MONTH'S MEETING. BUT SHE IS REACHING OUT, LOOKING FOR SOME OTHER SOME ADDITIONAL PARTNERSHIPS FOR THAT BUILDING, BUT SHE'LL BE PROVIDING AN UPDATE. SO I, I KIND OF WANTED TO DO WAS, WAS ROUND OFF YOUR FISCAL YEAR. TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT PROJECTS ARE ROLLING OVER FOR FISCAL YEAR 27 AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO START WITH THAT. BUT MAINLY, I WANT TO LET ANGIE TALK ABOUT DOWNTOWN. GOOD MORNING GUYS. GOOD MORNING. YOU HAVE HERE A FLIER AND AGENDA ON EVENT WE'RE 
          [01:00:01]
HOSTING IN SEPTEMBER, THE TEXAS ROUNDTABLE DOWNTOWN TEXAS ROUNDTABLE IS GOING TO BE COMING HOSTING HERE IN TERRELL. WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE, OUTSIDE THE COMMUNITY, 50 PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY, NOT US. WE START ON THURSDAY ON THE 24TH, AND WE'RE GOING TO MEET AT LULA MAE'S AT 630 AND GO TO GHOST WALK AFTERWARDS TO TRY TO GET PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING IN TO KNOW ABOUT OUR TOWN, TO TALK OUR TOWN AND PROMOTE OUR TOWN. 
          WE INVITE EVERYBODY TO PARTICIPATE IN WHATEVER FACTOR YOU WANT TO ON THAT, JUST TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER. AND ON FRIDAY, ON THE 25TH, WE'RE GOING TO START AT LULA MAE'S AT 9:00. AND THIS IS WHEN IT GETS COOL. YOU GOT THE AGENDA THERE ON SOME OF THE TOPICS WE'RE GOING TO SPEAKING AT, BUT WE'RE ALSO GOING TO DO A TOUR OF THE BUILDING. SO IN 2024, WE DID THE DOWNTOWN ASSESSMENT, RIGHT? WHAT WAS THAT THREE YEARS AGO? FOUR YEARS AGO. I'M NOT GOOD, I GUESS, IN MATH ANYMORE. TWO, TWO YEARS AGO. THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING TO DO BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES TO JUST TALK ABOUT WHERE WE'VE BEEN. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO SHOW GRAPHICS HIGHS. WORKING ON ALL THIS. WE ALSO HAVE ONE SESSION ON DOWNTOWN RENOVATIONS ON WHAT WE'VE DONE IS ONE OF OUR SESSIONS TOO, THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE. THERE'S FIVE SECTIONS ALL TOGETHER. WE HAVE TWO HOTEL BLOCKS FOR THIS EVENT. ONE OF IT IS GOING TO BE AT THE LA QUINTA INN WITH THE BOOTS, THE TEXAS BOOTS THAT WE HAVE. YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL KNOW WE HAVE A ONE OF THE NEW PULLOUT HOTELS IS LA QUINTA AND THEY HAVE BIG OLD TEXAS BOOTS. IT'S A REALLY COOL GRAPHIC INSIDE. SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HOST SOME OF THEM BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A HOTEL DOWNTOWN, UNFORTUNATELY. AND THE OTHER ONE IS WE'RE DOING BED AND BREAKFAST AT LULA MAE'S. YOU KNOW, SHE OPENS UP THAT BED AND BREAKFAST, AND WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE FIRST PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO HOST IT THERE. SO SHE HAS FOUR BEDS, SLEEP, EIGHT PEOPLE. SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE SOME GUESTS THERE ALSO. AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO ATTEND, REMEMBER IT'S NOT US CHARGING IT. IT'S THE DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION CHARGING IT AND THEY'RE CHARGING $50. I GOT A SPECIAL LINK IF Y'ALL WANT TO COME TO ANY OF IT. I'VE GOT A SPECIAL LINK AND I CAN GIVE YOU THE CODE TO GET THE DISCOUNTS. I THINK NORMALLY IT'S $100 AND THAT INCLUDES YOUR LUNCH AND BREAKFAST AND GOOFY THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY FUN. SO HOPEFULLY Y'ALL COME OUT AND SUPPORT US. JUST GIVE US LOVE, BE THE CHEERLEADERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. THANK YOU. I'M CURIOUS, HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN TO GO TO ONE OF THESE IN ANOTHER COMMUNITY? YES. WHERE HAVE YOU GONE? WE WENT TO LA PORTE, LA PORTE, TEXAS. IT WAS HI, ALISON, RAY, LEON AND ME. IS THAT ALL? AND WE WE WENT TO ONE OF THIS AND WHEN WE GOT THERE, IT WAS AMAZING BECAUSE IT'S WHAT, YOU KNOW, YOU GO TO A LOT OF CONVENTIONS, A LOT OF SUMMER, AND YOU DON'T SOMETIMES GET A LOT OF STUFF TO COME BACK THAT YOU THAT PRACTICAL ITEMS. SO WE TOURED THERE BUSINESS, BUT WE GOT THERE THURSDAY NIGHT. THERE WAS NOTHING FOR US TO DO. I MEAN, WE, WE JUST DROVE AROUND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE TOWN. SO WE'RE LIKE, OKAY, FIRST WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING THURSDAY NIGHT TO GET PEOPLE INVESTED IN OUR COMMUNITY. SO THAT'S ALL WE DID, THE THURSDAY NIGHT ACTIVITIES. AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE TOURED THEIR, THEIR PLACE AND THEIR DYNAMIC IN LA PORTE WAS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN TERRELL. IT WAS MORE OIL AND, AND THEIR DOWNTOWN WAS SAD COMPARED TO OUR DOWNTOWN. I MEAN, WE LOOK AT A LOT OF DOWNTOWNS ANYTIME WE GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE GO TO LA PORTE, THAT'S ONE DOWNTOWN. I WILL HIT EVERY DOWNTOWN I CAN JUST TO SEE. AND I ALWAYS GO THROUGH AND I SAY, WHAT DO THEY HAVE THAT WE DON'T HAVE? THAT'S KIND OF MY MENTALITY WHEN I GO TAKE A LOT OF PICTURES, SHARE THEIR DOWNTOWN WAS SAD. SO I HAVE TO SAY, WE LOOK AT OUR DOWNTOWN AND YEAH, IT COULD BE BETTER. WE'RE NOT ROWLETT OR ROCKWALL OR WHEREVER, BUT OUR DOWNTOWN LOOKS PRETTY DANG GOOD IF YOU ASK ME. AND I THANK YOU GUYS FOR THAT. FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE, WHAT ARE SOME LIKE TOP PRIORITIES? WHAT SHOULD BE SOME OF OUR TOP PRIORITIES FOR DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENTS? WELL, THE ONE THING IS WE NEED TO. NOT LAUGH. YEAH. NOT LAUGH. 
          DEFINITELY TATTOO PARLOR. I KNOW NO ONE WANTS A TATTOO PARLOR, BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S ART NOW, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT DRAWS MORE PEOPLE IN. NOT NOT DOWNTOWN IN DOWNTOWN NEXT TO DOMINO'S. YEAH, YEAH. OKAY. I MEAN, I WOULDN'T KNOW, BUT OKAY. OBVIOUSLY, OBVIOUSLY I DON'T DO TATTOOS. I'VE BEEN IN. YEAH. I JUST DON'T DO TATTOOS BECAUSE I NEEDLES. NO THANK YOU. SO SO THEY HAVE THAT KIND OF THINGS. THEY ALSO SOME OF THEM HAVE UTILITY. OKAY. YOU KNOW THOSE UGLY SILVER BOXES. OH LIKE FOR POWER TRANSMISSION. POWER 
          [01:05:02]
TRANSMISSION. OKAY. A LOT OF THEM HAVE THEM WRAPPED. YEAH. SO NEWS TO Y'ALL GUYS. WE'RE GETTING OURS WRAPPED DOWNTOWN. WE ALREADY GOT PERMISSION TO DO THAT. WORKING ON DESIGN RIGHT NOW. HIRE IS AMAZING. AND SHE'S WORKING ON DESIGNS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THEM WRAPPED BY 925. SO THAT'S, THAT'S PRETTY COOL. AND SO IT'S THAT PLANNERS, THEY ALSO HAVE STUFF HANGING POTS HANGING FROM LAMPPOSTS, WHICH ARE REALLY NICE. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S PRACTICAL OR NOT. THE A LOT OF TIMES THE, THE GREENERY THAT THE POTS HAVE A LOT OF GREEN STUFF IN IT, NOT SO MUCH FLOWERS AND STUFF, BUT MORE LIKE STUFF THAT COMES BACK EVERY YEAR. SO, YOU KNOW, HAVING A FEED, YOU KNOW, FEED, NOT FEED, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? CHANGE OUT THE FLOWERS AND STUFF. THAT'S A LOT OF TAXING AND A LOT OF MONEY THAT WE PUT, BUT A LOT OF THEM HAVE THAT. OKAY, GOOD. YEAH. AND THEN WE HAD THE WINE WALK ON SATURDAY. SO JUST I WANT TO TELL YOU THIS. WE HAVE A WINE WALK ON SATURDAY. WE WILL BE IN IT. THE BRIM BUILDING WILL BE ON IT ON THE WE HAVE AN ARTIST COMING TO PAINT A PICTURE. THIS IS. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M TOO FAT CLOSE, I KNOW IT. I KNOW THE ARTIST IS GOING TO BE THERE TO. TO PAINT ONE OF THE ORIGINAL PICTURES OF THE BURNING BUILDING WE HAVE. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE GOING ON. AND WE'LL HAVE WINE AND WE HAVE ACOUSTIC PIANO THAT'S GOING TO BE PLAYING. IS THAT ACOUSTIC? I DON'T KNOW, OBVIOUSLY I DON'T DO MUSIC NEITHER. NO TATTOOS. I'M VERY BORING PEOPLE. AND ALSO ON DETAIL AND DECALS. AND I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT YOU MORE STUFF AND I DID NOT. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO PUT IN SOME OF THE BUILDINGS. HIRE DID THIS GRAPHIC THAT HAS 1942 OR 1937 AND TODAY. AND SHE MIRRORED THEM. SHE MIRRORED THOSE IN. SO. SO WE'RE GOING OVER WHAT WE REMEMBER YOUR PAST, BUT DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOUR FUTURE. SO SHE'S SHE'S HOOKING IN QR CODES TO THE BFTS MUSEUM AND ALSO THE HERITAGE MUSEUM. AND WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO PUT SOME OF THE UGLY BUILDINGS. I DON'T MEAN THAT DISRESPECTFUL, BUT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE BROKEN GLASS OR NOTHING'S IN THEM. WE'RE GOING TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE WINDOW THAT CAN BE MOVED TO THE NEXT UGLY WINDOW. AND WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE THAT DONE. I'VE GOT SEVERAL OF THEM. WE ALSO DO A QR CODES TO LIKE LITTLE STANDS THAT SAY, WHAT WOULD I BE? WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME BE? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO WHEN PEOPLE COME DOWN OR PEOPLE SHOP DOWNTOWN, WE GET FEEDBACK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE MISSING THAT THEY MIGHT SEE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE ONLY HAVE SO MANY EYES, RIGHT? AND MAYBE THEIR QR CODES TO TELL US WHAT THEY WOULD ENVISION IN THIS SPOT. SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY COOL. ABSOLUTELY. SO THE PEOPLE THAT ATTEND ARE THEY CHAMBER PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE STATE? IS THAT PRIMARILY CVB PEOPLE? PEOPLE. OKAY. AND ARE THEY HERE, I GUESS, TO PROVIDE US FEEDBACK AND THEN TAKE AWAY THEIR OWN IDEAS AS WELL? YES, YES. 
          NORMALLY THEY'RE NOT PROVIDING SO MUCH FEEDBACK BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM BECAUSE LIKE WE'RE ALL THE PRESENTERS. OKAY, SO WE'RE ALL THE PRESENTERS OF WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER, BUT IN THE ROOM, WE DO SHARE IDEAS BECAUSE THEY'LL GO SOMETHING ABOUT IF YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS PROGRAM, ABOUT WHATEVER PROGRAM THAT WE MIGHT NOT HAVE FOR LIKE PASSPORTS, YOU KNOW, WE DO A LOT OF PASSPORTS TO GET PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH THE GOING TO DIFFERENT SHOPS WHEN WE DO EVENTS. SO THERE'S DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE MIGHT TAKE OUT, DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE NOT AWARE OF THAT WE CAN LINK INTO. SO IT IS A SHARED WE'RE DOING THE PRESENTING, BUT WE DO GET A LOT OF TAKEAWAYS. AND THEN THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS, OH, FILM FRIENDLY EVENT. 
          YOU KNOW, WE ARE LOOKING AT A FILM FRIENDLY DESTINATION AND WE DO HAVE THE DESTINATION. 
          I'VE DONE THE CONFERENCE WE'RE IN. I WENT TO TEAM ARLINGTON, TEXAS LIVE. I THINK IT'S CALLED MONDAY OR TUESDAY. AND I MET WITH A LOT OF PRODUCERS AND A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE, BUT WE NEED TO GET OUR LIBRARY FULL OF WHAT WE HAVE IN TERRELL BUILDINGS, BUILDINGS. SO I'M ASKING, AND IT WILL BE IN OUR NEWSLETTER SOON ABOUT ASKING YOU PUT YOUR HOUSES, PUT EMPTY BUILDINGS, PUT LAND, PUT WHATEVER YOU CAN THINK OF THAT WE'RE NOT THINKING AND YOU HOUSE IT THERE. AND EVEN IF IT'S UGLY, THEY WANT AGAIN, I DON'T LIKE THAT WORD, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. EMPTY WAREHOUSES, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE. THEY WANT THAT. THAT'S IN MOVIES. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THAT'S IN MOVIES. SO THAT'S WHAT WE WANT IN TO BUILD OUR THING. BECAUSE WHEN THEY COME AND A LOT OF TIMES THEY'LL COME. AND EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT BE NEEDING GREEN GRASS OR SOMETHING, THEY'LL PLANT THE GRASS FOR YOU. 
          THEY'LL DO THAT AND THEY'LL LEAVE. THEY RIP THE GRASS OUT. IT'S YOUR GRASS OR YOUR PLANTS OR WHATEVER. SO IF Y'ALL WOULD HELP US BUILD THIS ARTILLERY OF PICTURES. THANK YOU. I THINK THAT Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. SO JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE MOVING DOWNTOWN, IS THE BUILDING THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN, IS THAT OWNED BY THE CHAMBER? AND THE IS THAT WE OWN THE BUILDING. WE DON'T OWN THE LAND. IT'S VERY, VERY UNIQUE SITUATION. WHO OWNS THE CITY OF TERRELL? OWNS THE LAND OR LIONS CLUB OWNS THE LAND. OH, OKAY. THE LIONS CLUB. 
          [01:10:01]
OKAY. IT GETS EVEN WORSE. OKAY. AND TO BE FAIR, WE HAVE A LEASE ON OUR LAND. THIS IS THE LAND LEASE, AND THIS IS OUR BUILDING. SO WE'RE GOING OUTSIDE OUR OUR LAND LEASE. IT'S REAL FUN. 
          WE'RE AT TALKS WITH SOMEONE ABOUT POSSIBLY TAKING THAT OVER. AND THAT'S ALL I CAN SHARE ABOUT THAT. I APOLOGIZE. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? I WAS JUST ASKING BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUSLY SITTING RIGHT NEAR OUR PARK. SO MAKING SURE WE'RE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT GOES IN THERE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, COOPER FAMILY FOR YOUR INVESTMENT AND LOVE FOR TERRELL. SO TO WIND DOWN THE DOWNTOWN UPDATES AND FUNDING REQUEST, I AM REQUESTING FUNDING FOR THE WROUGHT IRON FENCING AND DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $254,305.11. COULD YOU GO BACK TO THE LINE ITEM FOR WHERE IT WAS SHOWING THE LIST OF THE CONTRACTORS? JUST JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, BECAUSE ON THE LINE ITEM FOR ITEM FOUR. THEIR COST WAS WAY UP THERE FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL COMPARED TO EVERY EVERY SINGLE OTHER PERSON'S BID. SO IN ALL FAIRNESS, AFTER TALKING WITH SOME OF OUR INSPECTORS AND STAFF LOOKING AT THAT IN HOUSE, SOMETIMES YOUR CONTRACTORS WILL DISPERSE WHERE OTHER FUNDING, WHEN THEY GET TO THEIR BOTTOM LINE PRICE, THEY MAY UP THEIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SO THAT THEY CAN COME DOWN ON THEIR FENCING PRICE. SO THAT'S WHY WE LOOKED AT WHAT WAS THE ACTUAL WROUGHT IRON FENCE PRICING AND THE TOTAL PLUS ALT ONE, BECAUSE TO COMPARE THE TRAFFIC, AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S GOING TO BE THE TRAFFIC STOPS THAT OUR CITY ENGINEERING INSPECTORS PUT IN PLACE. AND SO THAT PRICE SHOULD COME DOWN ACTUALLY, BECAUSE WE WILL PUT THE TRAFFIC UP, THE TRAFFIC SIGNS AND WHAT'S REQUIRED THERE IN PLACE BETWEEN THE CITY AND UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. SO ITEM THREE, ITEM FOUR, ITEM FIVE, THERE WAY OVER EVERYBODY'S. AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING THE WORK, NOT THEM. 
          IS THAT WHAT I'M HEARING? THEY WILL BE DOING THE WORK. YES. THE CONTRACTOR, THE CONTRACTOR, THE CONTRACTOR. I'M JUST I JUST HAVE A CONCERN BECAUSE THOSE ARE SO MUCH HIGHER EXCEPT FOR, I THINK TWO OF THEM. THREE OF THEM, BUT THEY'RE, THEY'RE WAY HIGHER. AND THEY'RE THEY'RE A HIGHER BID. THEY'RE NOT THE HIGHEST BID. BUT SO I GUESS TO MARY'S POINT, ARE WE ARE WE PAYING WE'RE PAYING FOR THAT ENTIRE LINE, NOT JUST THE 114. THEY CAME IN LOW ON THE 114. 
          BUT THEIR BASE BID IS NOT THE LOWEST, RIGHT. THEIR BASE BID IS NOT THE LOWEST. BUT THEN ALSO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ALT ONE, WHICH IS PROCESSING TO UPGRADE THE FENCE POST, THERE ARE A LOT LOWER THAN WHO YOUR LOWEST BASE BID WAS. SO YOU'VE GOT CONTRACTORS WHO WILL MAKE UP PRICING IN OTHER LINE ITEMS. SO THAT'S WHY I WENT TO THE BASE BID. THE BASE BID PLUS THE ALT, AND THEN LOOKED AT THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE PRICE, AND THEN ALSO THE ORNAMENTAL FENCE PER LINEAR FEET PRICE AND COMPARED THOSE. AND I SAW JIMI SHAKING HIS HEAD THAT YES, CONTRACTORS WILL. I MEAN, THEY'RE KIND OF PUFFING UP THOSE OTHER LINE ITEMS IN ORDER TO GET THE BASE BID NUMBER WHERE IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE. OKAY, I DON'T LIKE THE WORD PUFF, SO I'M LOOKING AT THE CONCLUSION, WHICH IS FINAL PRICE, BUT IT'S STILL NOT THE LOWEST BID. SO CAN YOU ADDRESS WHY Y'ALL ARE WRECKING CONCORD OVER ESTRADA? BECAUSE CONCORD HAD THE LOWER DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE UNIT PRICE OF 45,773. BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE, THE CITY WILL BE ORDERING ADDITIONAL DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES OR IF WE NEEDED TO ADD ANY TO THIS PROJECT, THAT UNIT PRICE ITSELF. THAT'S WHY IT WAS AN ALTERNATE. OKAY, THAT UNIT PRICE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ADD ON. AND SO IF WE WENT WITH THE LOWER BID BUT NEEDED TO ADD ON 
          [01:15:03]
A DUMPSTER, WHICH WE KNOW WE WILL, THEN THAT COSTS AN ADDITIONAL $4,000. EVERY TIME WE ADD THAT LONG TERM, THAT WILL END UP. YES. THE HOW LONG IS THAT PRICE GOOD FOR? THE BID ITSELF IS GOOD FOR 90 DAYS, AND THEN THE CONTRACTOR WILL HOLD THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE PRICE FOR ONE YEAR. TO GET US THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 27. HAVE YOU USED CONCORD BEFORE FOR ANYTHING? CONCORD WOULD BE BRAND NEW. ALL OF THESE WOULD BE BRAND NEW TO THE CITY, OTHER THAN JARRETT AND ALSO ESTRADA, ESTRADA AND SONS HAS DONE SOME UTILITY WORK FOR US. PDQ HAS DONE SOME FENCING FOR US. WHERE'S CONCORD OUT OF. 
          I'LL REMIND THE BOARD THAT WE HAD BUDGETED 352,500 FOR THE SOUTH ALLEY, WROUGHT IRON FENCE AND DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES. FOLKS. I WAS CURIOUS TOO, IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADD DUMPSTERS, WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE THOSE ARE GOING TO GO YET OR WHAT. WHY WOULD WE NOT INCLUDE ALL THAT INTO THE BID BEFORE WE DO IT? THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, WE DISCUSS GETTING INDIVIDUAL UNIT PRICES BECAUSE WE HAVE AREAS THROUGHOUT THE CITY THAT WE DO NOT OURSELVES HAVE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES. AND SO WE WANTED UNIT PRICING, AND WE SPECIFIED THAT IN THE BID THAT IT COULD BE ORDERED AFTER AWARD OF CONTRACT. SO IT TECHNICALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PROJECT. IT'S JUST IF WE DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING FURTHER ALONG THE LINE FOR THE NEXT YEAR. YES. OKAY. AND ARE ALL THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES THE SAME AND WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE? THEY IT WAS THE RECOMMENDED VINYL WITH THE METAL HOSTING THAT KIMLEY-HORN HAD DESIGNED BLACK VINYL. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS LINE ITEM AT A PRICE OF 254,305 11. I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION TO APPROVE THAT. 
          THANK YOU. KEN, DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. THANK YOU. HILLARY, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING I OPPOSED SAME SIGN. MOTION CARRIES. 
          ALRIGHT. ARE WE READY TO REVISIT THE DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION GRANT REQUESTS? YES, AND I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF UPDATES FOR YOU. SO IF YOU'LL GO BACK TO YOUR BID SHEET, ARABIA, IF YOU'LL GO TO PAGE EIGHT. IN THE GREEN HIGHLIGHTED BOX UP AT THE TOP MIDDLE, YOU HAVE $59,280 REMAINING IN YOUR FACADE REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM. THAT IS FOR YOUR PADDOCK GRANT APPLICATION. SO THAT IS WHERE YOUR GRACE AND CO AND ANYONE WHO PUTS TOGETHER A FORM DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, YOU HAD 123,500 SET ASIDE FOR MORE IN SOUTH ALLEY RETAIL READY ENTRANCES. 
          SO WITH THE $98,500 SAVINGS ON YOUR ORNAMENTAL FENCING AND YOUR DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES, YOU COULD BRING THAT MONEY OVER, WHICH WOULD GIVE YOU $223,000 FOR ADDITIONAL FACADE REIMBURSEMENT. SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATED NUMBER WITH, IF YOU WANTED TO MOVE THE SAVINGS FROM YOUR DOWNTOWN CAPITAL INTO YOUR FACADE PROGRAM, GIVE US A TOTAL OF 280. 
          [01:20:01]
YES. AND I AND I, THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. I THINK THAT'S THE DIVISION WE WERE LOOKING FOR EARLIER. SO AM I UNDERSTANDING CORRECT THAT GRACE AND CO AND MORROW WOULD BE UNDER THE FACADE REIMBURSEMENT AND THE OTHER TWO WOULD BE OUT OF THE RETAIL READY? OKAY. YEAH. LONG STORY SHORT, WE'VE GOT PLENTY OF YOU HAD YOU HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY. BUT YEAH, WE DID NEED TO GET THROUGH THE END TO COME BACK. SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD THOSE NUMBERS. 
          GOING INTO YOUR DISCUSSION. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD ABOUT THE WHERE WE'RE PULLING THE THREE DIFFERENT BALANCE AMOUNTS? SO EXCESS SOUTH ALLEY BUDGET OF ABOUT 98,000. FACADE REIMBURSEMENT BALANCE OF 59,000. AND THEN THE RETAIL READY BALANCE OF 123. AND WHEN WE LOOK BACK AT OUR ASKS SIDE STREET TOTAL PROJECT COST 88,000. Y'ALL CORRECT ME ON THESE. GRACE AND COMPANY TOTAL BUDGET. CAN WE TAKE THEM UP SEPARATE SINCE WE'RE PULLING THEM OUT OF DIFFERENT BUDGETS? OKAY. CAN WE DO SIDE STREET IN ALL IN ONE TOGETHER BECAUSE THAT'S UNDER THE RETAIL READY? YEAH, LET'S START THERE. SO SIDE STREET AT TOTAL BUDGET 88,000 ALL IN ONE. TOTAL BUDGET 80,000. AND BECAUSE THESE ARE 100% FACADE IMPROVEMENTS, WE'RE NOT LIMITED TO THE, YOU KNOW, 25,000 OR $50,000 MATCH. SO COMBINED OBVIOUSLY THAT'S 168,000 TOTAL COST. AND OUR RETAIL READY BUDGET IS 123. PLUS. WE HAVE THE OTHER, YOU KNOW, 98,000 FROM SOUTH ALLEY. AND EVEN THOUGH WE CALL WE CALL IT THE FACADE REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM. THAT'S THE PROGRAM THAT HAS THE APPLICATION. AND IT'S NOT JUST FACADE. OKAY. 
          THAT'S JUST HOW IT'S BEEN LABELED IN THE BUDGET BOOK FROM THE BEGINNING. SO DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD ON THE SIDE STREET PROJECT. TOTAL COST 88,000. IT WAS PRIMARILY ALL FACADE IMPROVEMENTS. SO WE WERE ORIGINALLY LOOKING AT THE 50% PARTICIPATION NUMBER AND THAT PLUS WHATEVER WE FEEL LIKE WE CAN USE TO ASSIST IN THAT. YES. IN OTHER WORDS, IF SOME OF THE LINE ITEMS LIKE, SAY, AWNING AND PLANTERS WAS ABOUT $7,000 AND THAT MIGHT FALL INTO SOMETHING WE REALLY THINK ENHANCES THE OUTSIDE OF THAT BUILDING, ALONG WITH MAYBE EVEN THE DOORS OF THE FRAME, IT WOULD BE MORE APT TO MAYBE PAY THAT 100%, THAT PART OF IT. 
          OKAY, BREAK IT DOWN. YEAH. OKAY. 75,000. AND. ARE WE TAKING OUT THE BARRIER WALL? YEAH. SO HE SAID 75,000 WOULD COVER THE GLASS, THE AWNING PLANTERS, THE HARDWARE, THE. BALLPARK. WE REALLY WANT TO HELP IN THESE AREAS. WE NEED TO PAY COST PLUS TAX. I SEE. OH NO, WE'RE JUST TAX. OKAY. SO. THERE'S A PROPOSAL ON THE TABLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT UP TO 75000, WHICH IS INTENDED TO BE 100% MATCH FOR ALL OF THE FACADE CONSTRUCTION. EXCLUDING CONTRACTOR FEE INSURANCE AND DEPLOYMENT COSTS. THOSE BARRIERS. ENTERTAIN A MOTION 
          [01:25:01]
FOR ADDITIONAL COMMENT. NOW, WE DO HAVE. A. FEW. DO YOU HAVE THAT UPDATED BID WITH YOU? DO YOU SHOW IS THE CURRENT BID FOR DOORS, FRAMES AND HARDWARE? AND ALL? THAT? OTHER. ALRIGHT, SO HERE'S THE FINAL BID. SO SO WILL SOMEONE BE MY CALCULATOR? I THINK SO CONCRETE IS 2002 50. CARPENTRY IS 17,000 556. 
          PROPERTY. SO LET'S SEE WHERE THIS ADDS UP. TAKE THIS AWAY FROM YOU. YOU ADDED THOSE TWO. 
          OKAY. AND THEN NEXT IS DOORS, FRAMES AND HARDWARE FOR 9800. GLASS AND GLAZING 11,025. 
          PAINTING. THE NEW TRIM IS 9460. AWNING IS 5850. PLANTERS 1500. AND THEN ELECTRICAL IS 6360. 
          AND HIS. YEAH. THEIR TOTAL PROJECT COST WILL BE 88,000. SO WE'RE PROPOSING MORE THAN 50%. 
          WE'RE PROPOSING A $63,000 GRANT. YES. OKAY. I GOT 62,000. PERFECT CHANGE. 63,801. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE FACADE REIMBURSEMENT GRANT. NO, NOT FACADE REIMBURSEMENT GRANT. 
          THIS IS WHAT WE CALL THIS, A RETAIL RETAIL READY GRANT OF $63,801. I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION. 
          THANK YOU. SARAH, DO I HAVE A SECOND? THANK YOU. KEN. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. OPPOSED. SAME SIGN. SO, RAYLAN, THE PACKAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH. OKAY. YES. SO SUBTRACTING THAT AMOUNT FROM THE RETAIL READY PROGRAM LEAVES US 59,200 APPROXIMATELY. SO NEXT UP FOR DISCUSSION IS THE ALL IN ONE. THAT'S THE OTHER RETAIL READY SLASH FACADE REIMBURSEMENT. IT'S BOTH. TOTAL ASK FOR ALL IN ONE I BELIEVE IS 8000 APPROXIMATELY. 81 FOR 68. 
          IT IS ALL EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS. THOUGHTS ON UTILIZING THE BALANCE OF THE RETAIL READY FUNDS, WHICH IS 59,200 PLUS A PORTION OF THE REMAINDER. SOUTH ALLEY BUDGET. WELL, I GUESS WE CAN LOOK AT THAT BUDGETS. IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE'RE NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR. LET'S GO ABOUT IT THAT WAY. OKAY. MOTION. AND I HAVE AS WELL, THAT WOULD PUT US CONSISTENT PAYING WITH 
          [01:30:02]
FOR ALL IN ONE THE THINGS WE'RE PAYING FOR FOR SIDE STREET, IF WE'VE ALREADY PAID FOR SOME THINGS FOR SIDE STREET. HERE. BUT COMING OUT OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS. WHO'S THE OWNER OF THIS BUILDING? WHO'S THE OWNER OF THIS BUILDING? I'LL LOOK AT THAT. THAT'S MATTERS. AS DO DON DO DON DEAN NAIL OWN THE BUILDING. WHO OWNS THAT ONE? THEY RENT THERE AS WELL. 
          CAMERON AND CASH LOCHHEAD. AND I'VE TALKED TO RANDY ALREADY ABOUT THAT AND WE'LL MAKE SURE ANY OBVIOUSLY ANY RENOVATIONS THAT HAPPEN TO A BUILDING, WE. WE HAVE TO GET THE PROPERTY OWNER TO SIGN OFF ON. AND ALSO, I REALLY LOVE THE CONCEPT OF CARRYING SOME MONEY OVER INTO NEXT YEAR JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT. IT'S NOT LIKE GOING TO A CANDY STORE WHEN YOUR PARENTS GIVE YOU MONEY AND YOU STILL HAVE SOME WHEN YOU GO HOME. I THINK IT'S A GOOD CONCEPT TO TRY TO DO THAT. SO. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I DO AGREE WITH THAT. I THINK IT'S FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE. 
          THIS YOU KNOW, THIS BOARD HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR SIX YEARS NOW. FIRST TIME THAT THIS PROPERTY OWNER HAS COME TO US WITH AN INVESTMENT. YOU KNOW, WE'RE KIND OF SOME OF THESE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE COME MULTIPLE TIMES. SOMETIMES IT'S YOU GET ONE SHOT AT THIS. NOW, I THINK YOUR COMMENT DOESN'T PERTAIN JUST TO THIS ASK. IT'S THEM AS A WHOLE. YOU KNOW, I HAVE I HAVE WE ALL DO. WE HAVE A HEART FOR THESE SMALL BUSINESSES AND. THE TENANTS OF THESE BUILDINGS. AND I SAY TENANT, WE NEED TO SEE WHO OWNS THIS BUILDING. DO WE DO WE KNOW THAT THEIR TENANTS OR ARE THEY PROPERTY OWNERS? THE ALL IN ONE SPORT, ALL IN ONE. THE BLOCKHEADS ON THIS MAYBE. HECTOR. I'M LOOKING IT UP RIGHT NOW. OKAY. SAYING A LOT OF BUILDINGS. WHAT'S THE ADDRESS SOMEBODY. JUST MORE AVENUE ON THE QUOTE. OH ON THE AGENDA. 
          OKAY. TRAILER 305 MORE. WOULD THAT BE? BECAUSE IF WE DON'T APPROVE THE WHOLE AMOUNT, WHO'S WHO'S PAYING THE REST OF IT, IS THAT THE ACTUAL TENANT ON THIS ONE? 305 MORE WEST MORE. OKAY. 
          HECTOR TORRES THANK YOU. OKAY. SO I THINK ONE WAY THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT NOT JUST THIS PROJECT, BUT MOVING FORWARD. I THINK THIS IS A BLATANT CODE VIOLATION AS IT SITS CURRENTLY. 
          SO WHILE WE'RE THERE'S NO WAY THAT CAN BE UP TO CODE. SO WHILE WE'RE WILLING TO MAKE AN INVESTMENT AND IMPROVEMENT IN THIS BUILDING, I DO THINK IT'S REASONABLE THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER IS GOING TO ALSO NEED TO MAKE AN INVESTMENT IN THEIR BUILDING. IF NOT, THERE'S RECOURSE. SO WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IN ORDER TO, YOU KNOW, BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR SIDE STREET, WE'RE WILLING TO PAY FOR 100% OF ALL THE I SHOULDN'T SAY CONSTRUCTION COSTS BECAUSE JIMMY HAS SOME COSTS THAT ARE REQUIRED, BUT WE WON'T, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT A DIRECT IMPROVEMENT TO THE BUILDING. SO WE'RE WILLING TO APPROVE 100% OF ALL THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BUILDING, THE TOTAL OF WHICH SOMEONE SAID AND I DIDN'T WRITE DOWN 52. THANK YOU. I'M SORRY. ON ON THIS BUILDING, ALL IN ONE. THE TOTAL WAS 59,200. 
          NO, I'M SORRY, 82,930. OKAY. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE A REIMBURSEMENT OF $52,930 FOR THE PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS AT 305 WEST MOORE BEFORE WE BEFORE WE VOTE. I'M SORRY, RAYLAN, IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET SOMEONE HERE THAT'S A REPRESENTATIVE OF THAT BUILDING? BECAUSE ONE, IS THE TENANT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS PROJECT WITH THAT LEVEL OF COMMITMENT FROM US? THAT'S THE FIRST QUESTION. THE SECOND QUESTION IS, COULD WE GET HECTOR HERE? WOULD HE BE 
          [01:35:02]
WILLING TO PARTNER WITH THEM WHERE THEY WEREN'T CARRYING ALL OF IT? I JUST SO IT WOULD BE ON HECTOR, THE PROPERTY OWNER. AND AS Y'ALL KNOW, YOU WORKED WITH HIM WITH THE TERRELL SOCIAL BUILDING. SO WITH ALL OF THESE GRANT FUNDS, THERE'S ALWAYS A FOLLOW UP PIECE OF THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT THAT WE WILL PUT IN PLACE, EVEN FOR THESE 100% FACADE, WE'LL STILL PUT IN PLACE A PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT. SO THAT'S STILL MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE WE'RE TALKING TO THE PROPERTY OWNER. THEY UNDERSTAND HERE, HERE ARE THE STRINGS ATTACHED TO THIS FUNDING. YES. AND SO WE'LL SIT DOWN AND GO OVER THE PROPOSAL AS THEY STOOD, THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT YOU ARE PROPOSING. AND THEN THE OFFER TO THEM IS, DO YOU AGREE WITH THE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT TO ACCEPT THIS MONEY? SO I'M HAPPY TO PUT HIM ON THE SEPTEMBER LIST TO GIVE YOU ALL AN UPDATE. BUT BUT THAT'S HOW THAT'S HOW IN THE BACKGROUND, WE WE WORK THE GRANTS AFTER THE FACT. WE ALWAYS HAVE A PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT AND THAT'S SIGNED SO THAT THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT HAS TO BE DELIVERED BEFORE WE INVOICE IS OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER OR THE TENANT OR BOTH? SOMETIMES BOTH. IT DEPENDS ON WHO'S HELPING PAY FOR THE RENOVATIONS, BUT THE PROPERTY OWNER ALWAYS HAS TO SIGN. THEY HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE IN THEIR BUILDING. SO HOW MANY BUILDINGS DOES HECTOR OWN? QUITE A FEW. HE OWNS PROBABLY FROM TRAILER ALL THE WAY DOWN. SO HE OWNS EVERY BUILDING ALL THE WAY TO THE VACANT LOT. AND THEN I WANT TO SAY HE OWNS SOME ON NASH ALSO, HE'S GOT A COUPLE HERE IN TOWN. I THINK AFTER THAT DISCUSSION, I'M WILLING TO MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE ENTER INTO THIS RETAIL READY NOT TO EXCEED AN AMOUNT OF $52,930. I'LL SECOND IT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING I, I OPPOSED SAME SIGN. LET'S DO SOME MATH ON HOW MUCH WE HAVE LEFT. SO OF THE ORIGINAL 280 000, WE HAVE NOW COMMITTED. 529 30. AND 50. WHAT DID WE DO FOR SIDE STREET WITH 63? 163269. WHAT DO YOU HAVE, KIM? OKAY. I LOVE THAT WORD ABOUT 120 IT SOUNDS LIKE IN REMAINING. 116 PERFECT. BUT THE NEXT TWO ARE COMING OUT OF A DIFFERENT POT. 
          KEN JUST WANTED TO ROLL OVER A BALANCE IN THAT HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T. WELL, WE STILL HAVE. WE STILL HAVE ANOTHER MONTH. CORRECT. WHERE SOMEBODY COULD COME AND REQUEST. 
          I'M ASSUMING THE THE 100% STOPS AS OF THE END OF SEPTEMBER. IS IT A FISCAL YEAR, FISCAL YEAR OR WE HAD ADVERTISED IT THAT AMOUNT OF TIME. NOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN? WE'LL NEED TO THESE FUNDS WILL ROLL OVER INTO 27. BUT IT. IT WILL BE EARMARKED FOR JUST THESE PROJECTS. ALL RIGHT. NEXT, LET'S DISCUSS 211 EAST MOORE. THAT'S THE GRAYSON COMPANY BUILDING. TOTAL BUDGET ON THAT IS 102,000. ONE DOES FALL UNDER OUR APPLICATION 50% MATCH NOT TO EXCEED 50,000 BECAUSE THEY'RE OPEN TO 8 P.M. CORRECT. OKAY. AND THAT'S THE THE ACCOUNT THAT WE HAVE A BALANCE REMAINING OF 59,002 80. WHAT'S THE TOTAL BUDGET FOR 12,000? OKAY. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY, GRACIE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INVESTMENT INTO THAT BUILDING, INTO TERRELL. I THINK WE LOVE THE EXTERIOR LOOK OF THAT BUILDING RIGHT NOW. AND SOME ENHANCEMENTS WOULD GO A LONG WAY. AND I THINK WE HAVE THE FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO HELP YOU ALONG. SO WE WANT TO, I WOULD SAY I'D LIKE TO MAYBE COOPERATE WITH YOU ON SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR SOME EXTERIOR 
          [01:40:06]
IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT BUILDING TO REALLY MAKE IT SHINE. AND WE WOULD, I THINK, AS A BOARD, ENTERTAIN THAT. I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THE BOARD, BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING FOR THE THAT AND THE INVESTMENT WE HAVE NEXT DOOR AND THE SKINNY BUILDING GOING ON THAT IT WOULD REALLY BE A PILLAR CORNER PIECE OF OUR DOWNTOWN. AGREED. WE WERE SINCERE IN OUR COMMENTS. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. THERE'S WE CAN ALWAYS DO LIKE A LITTLE OOMPH, WHETHER IT BE THROUGH LANDSCAPING, LIGHTING, A POP OF COLOR. YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE TO TINT OUR WINDOWS BECAUSE THE TEXAS SUN IS NO JOKE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW AT NIGHT IF. CAN YOU SEE IF THE INSIDE IS LIT? CAN YOU SEE THAT FROM THE OUTSIDE? SO I OR WE HAVE, I HAVE ALL THE TIME IN YOUR LIFE AND THAT'S HOW I. ALL THE THINGS THAT I WOULD SAY. I REALLY LIKE THAT. AND. THAT WOULD BE LIKE ALL OF US LIKE. THAT. AND. AND I THINK THAT THOSE THINGS. CAFE LIGHTS UNDER YOUR, I DON'T WANT TO CALL IT AN AWNING BECAUSE IT'S PART OF YOUR BUILDING, BUT YOU HAVE AN OVERHANG ON YOUR BUILDING. SO LIKE LIGHTING UNDER THERE OR MAYBE LIKE SOME BIG STONES, THAT'S MONEY THAT WE COULD PULL OUT OF THE RETAIL READY. AND THAT WOULD BE SEPARATE FROM YOUR BUILDING REPAIR THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING TODAY. SO I THINK THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER. SO WHAT WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE PERCENTAGE FOR THIS ONE? AND THEN THE PERCENTAGE FOR MORROW. SO UNDER THE APPLICATION, THE MAXIMUM WE COULD AWARD GRACE AND CO WOULD BE 50,000. AND THE MAXIMUM FOR MORROW WOULD BE 12,000. AND WE HAVE 59,280 REMAINING BALANCE IN OUR ACCOUNT. AND GIVEN A MORROW'S. 
          WE HAD. HE HAS. WE'VE GIVEN HIM 8484. BUT NONE OF IT WAS. IT WAS ALL INTERIOR OKAY. WE COULD USE THE $12,000 TOWARDS THE THE MORAL BARBERSHOP AND COMPLETE THAT AND THEN HAVE ABOUT 47,000 OF THAT FUND LEFT. IS THAT MY MATH? OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, WE COULD FUND GRACE AND CO AT THE MAX OF 50,000, AND THEN WE'D HAVE 92, 80 LEFT FOR MORROW. CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT WE'VE ALREADY GIVEN HIS BUILDING SOME MONEY IN THE PAST, ARE WE UNDER BUDGET ON OTHER ITEMS FOR THE YEAR? THAT'S A VERY SMALL GAP. WELL, YOU YOU HAVE IT AVAILABLE IN YOUR RETAIL READY. SO WHICH IS BEING PULLED OUT OF THE SAME LINE ITEM. SO I MEAN IT IT'S SEPARATE BUCKETS. BUT YOU, YOU ARE ROLLING OVER AN EXTRA 100,000. SO THE GAP, THE MONEY'S THERE. SO WE COULD DO THE 3000 AND. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. YEAH, THAT WOULD MAKE ME HAPPIER. JUST IN FULL DISCLOSURE, I RENT A PORTION OF MORROW'S BUILDING AND I'VE BEEN REALLY TALKING TO EVEN HIM ABOUT HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY AND A LOT OF OTHER STUFF. BUT. WHEN I LOOK AT THE FUNDING THAT HE'S ASKING FOR AND THE FUNDING THAT WE'VE APPROVED, I WOULD WANT TO GET HIM FULL, FULL FUNDING. I THINK HE'S MORE THAN FAIR. I THINK HE'S NOT JUST OVERZEALOUS AND 8000 OR WHATEVER WE'VE GIVEN IN THE PAST. I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A HARD PILL TO SWALLOW IF YOU'RE GETTING PEANUTS AND SOMEBODY ELSE IS GETTING. SO I WOULD REALLY ENCOURAGE THE BOARD OR REALLY ASK OR RECOMMEND THAT WE DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO TRY TO DO THE SAME. I WILL ALSO SAY, WHEN WE DID THE PREVIOUS MATCH, THIS BOARD ENCOURAGED HIM TO ASK FOR MORE. AND I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO HONOR THAT. YEAH, AND I DON'T WANT TO PENALIZE HIM FOR ASKING TWICE IF THAT'S A IF THAT'S PERMISSIBLE ON THIS BOARD. I'M NOT SEEING HOW THIS IS ANY DIFFERENT THAN SIDE STREET AND ALL IN ONE. THE THE RETAIL READY WAS DESIGNATED FOR 
          [01:45:09]
MORE. OH, OKAY. YEAH. BUT THIS IS 100% FACADE IMPROVEMENT. IT IT IS. AND TO BE FAIR, Y'ALL ARE THE ONES THAT KIND OF SET THE STANDARD FOR THE RETAIL READY. IT WAS, YOU KNOW, JUST KIND OF A SPLASH TO GET SOME PEOPLE IN SO Y'ALL CAN DECIDE HOW FAR YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR. 
          I THINK, I THINK FOR A $3,000 ROLLOVER TO MAKE SURE HE GETS MAXIMUM FUNDING, THE THE WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED OUR GOAL OF GETTING SOME MORE. AVENUE AVENUE CENTRAL BUSINESS CORRIDOR BUSINESSES ON BOARD. AND SO I'M PERSONALLY OKAY WITH THE ROLLING OVER OF THAT MONEY FOR MR. MORROW. I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE 12000 FOR MORROW AND THE 5000 FOR GRACE. 
          SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE. NOPE. SORRY. I'LL TAKE A. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. SAME SIGN. THANK YOU. 
          YOU'RE A LITTLE TOUGH NOW. NOW DEMETER WILL GIVE YOU A PARKING SPACE. OF THE PARKS. MR. PERCY BUTLER, WE'RE GOING TO SHARE THIS UPDATE. MORNING. ALL RIGHT. SO WE WANT TO START WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PARK IMPROVEMENTS. AND WE'LL START WITH ALI WHITE. AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED BEFORE, AND THE BOARD HAS SHARED WITH US, RATHER THAN DOING A NEW PARK MASTER PLAN, YOU GUYS WANT US TO CARRY OUT THE ITEMS THAT ARE ON THE CURRENT PARK MASTER PLAN. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO APPLYING FOR GRANT WITH TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE, AND TO HAVE THIS UNDER DESIGN BY 2028. BREEZY HILL PARK CLOSED POLK STREET BETWEEN NEW HOPE AND DANIELS. THIS GIVES US THAT MAKING BREEZY HILL KIND OF THAT ONE PARK WITHOUT THAT STREET FOR SAFETY, WE DO HAVE THAT WOODED AREA THAT HAS RECEIVED SOME IMPROVEMENT WITH BENCHES, AND HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE WE CAN EXTEND THAT TRAIL AT SOME POINT TO KIND OF JUST MAKE IT A REALLY NICE PARK. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT SPLASH PAD, WHICH IS SOUTH OF THE COURT, THE FOX HOLE AT BREEZY HILL. AS MANY OF YOU MAY HAVE HEARD A KNOW THAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A NUMEROUS, NUMEROUS DELAYS IN THE FIELD, BUT WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH OUR ENGINEERING INSPECTORS TO ENSURE THAT THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETE AND THAT IT'S PROPERLY DONE, AND IT MEETS SAFETY STANDARDS. WE'RE WORKING THROUGH SOME CONTRACTOR RELATED ISSUES BETWEEN THE ENGINEERING INSPECTORS AND THE FIELD, THE PARK SUPERINTENDENT, AND THEN I'M ON THE PHONE WITH THEM. SO WE ARE CIRCLING THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE US THE PRODUCT THAT WE ARE EXPECTING. THE ORIGINAL COMMITMENT TO US FROM THE VENDOR WAS TO DELIVER THIS SPLASH PAD. JUNE. BY JUNE 10TH. WE HAVE PASSED THAT DATE. WE ARE AWARE OF THAT. BUT THESE DELAYS ARE FRUSTRATING. AND BECAUSE WE EXPECTED THAT WE HAD SIGNS OUT, WE WERE READY. WE WERE READY TO CELEBRATE, TO BRING THIS TO THE COMMUNITY. BUT HOWEVER, WE DO WANT TO EXTEND OUR APOLOGY TO THE COMMUNITY FOR THE EXTENDED TIMELINE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE OUR PRIORITY IS TO KEEP A QUALITY, SAFE AND COMPLETE FACILITY THAT OUR COMMUNITY CAN ENJOY FOR YEARS TO COME. THE CURRENT PROGRESS FOR BREEZY HILL THIS WEEK, THE FINAL CONCRETE FLATWORK AND GRADING AT THE SPLASH PAD SITE WILL BE COMPLETED THIS WEEK, AND THAT INCLUDES THE SIDEWALK CONNECTIVITY TO THE SPLASH PAD, THE IRRIGATION LANDSCAPE CREWS, THEY'RE ON SITE. THEY'RE COMPLETING THE UNDERGROUND IRRIGATION ALONG WITH THE CONTROL DEVICES. NEXT WEEK, THERE ARE SCHEDULED TO START THE PLANNING FOR THE BEDS AND TO INSTALL LANDSCAPING AND SOD, AND THEY HAVE OFFERED TO PLANT THE TREES THAT ARE BEING DONATED TO US BY A LOCAL TREE FARM. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE ANDERTON FAMILY THAT IS DONATING THOSE TREES. THE SPLASH PAD RESURFACING IS ANTICIPATED FOR MONDAY OR TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. THE PRODUCT DOES REQUIRE APPROXIMATELY 24 HOURS TO CURE BEFORE THEY CAN GET ON AND FINISH ANYTHING ELSE CONCERNING THE SPLASH PAD. WE'RE CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO. IT'S NOT GOING TO IMPACT THE OPENING DAY THAT WE ARE PROJECTING ON THE 
          [01:50:03]
COMPLETION DATE FOR THE SCHEDULE. THE BENCHES FOR THE SPLASH PAD. THEY'RE STILL WAITING ON A DELIVERY DATE, BUT THEY ARE GOING TO BE DELIVERED DIRECTLY TO THE PARK. AND WHEN THEY'RE DELIVERED TO THE PARK, WHATEVER DAY THAT IS, THEY ARE GOING TO BE INSTALLED. OUR INSPECTORS HAVE GIVEN THEM STRICT INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THESE BENCHES NEED TO BE INSTALLED AND HOW THEY NEED TO BE HANDLED, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT ANY BROKEN STONE OR WE DON'T WANT ANY SCRATCHES, SCUFFS OR ANYTHING ON IT. SO WE HAVE BEEN VERY SPECIFIC ON THIS IS HOW IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. BASED ON THE CURRENT SCHEDULE, THE SPLASH PAD IS ANTICIPATED TO OFFICIALLY BE TURNED OVER TO US ON AUGUST 27TH, ASSUMING THE INSPECTIONS AND THE CLOSEOUT REMAIN ON SCHEDULE, WE SHOULD BE READY FOR KIDS TO HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THIS SPLASH PAD. IT LOOKS LIKE SUMMER IS OVER BECAUSE SCHOOL HAS STARTED BACK, BUT TECHNICALLY, SUMMER IS NOT OVER FOR US THIS SEASON. IT'S STILL HOT. AS I TOLD SOMEONE ELSE, IT COULD BE HOT ALL THE WAY THROUGH DECEMBER, SO. BUT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE KIDS IN THE COMMUNITY ARE ABLE TO ENJOY THAT SPLASH PAD BEFORE THE SUMMER ENDS. STAFF. SORRY ON I HEARD YOU SAY RESURFACING. ARE THEY HAVING TO RESURFACE THE WHOLE. OKAY, SO WHEN I MENTIONED THAT WE HAD SOME CONTRACTOR RELATED ISSUES. WHEN IT COMES TO CONCRETE, WE KNOW THAT CONCRETE IT DRIES, IT WILL CRACK, BUT IT SHOULDN'T CRACK AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS. SO WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS OUR INSPECTORS HAVE GONE OUT. AND IF WE SEE A HAIRLINE CRACK OF ANY SORT OR ANY DEFECT, THEN WE BRING IT UP TO THE CONTRACTOR. AND SO WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO IS THERE'S A PRODUCT THAT THEY USE TO RESURFACE, WHICH EVENTUALLY YOU'LL HAVE TO DO THAT PROCESS ANYWAY SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE, BECAUSE AGAIN, WE KNOW THAT CONCRETE, THAT'S WHAT IT DOES. AND SO THEY'RE GOING TO PUT A SURFACE ON THAT TO PROTECT WHAT TO PROTECT THE SURFACE THAT'S THERE NOW. SO THE SURFACE THAT IS THERE NOW CURRENTLY HAS CRACKS. IT HAS HAIRLINE CRACKS, HAIRLINE CRACKS, BUT NOT LIKE STRUCTURAL CRACKS. NOTHING THAT WOULD AFFECT THE STRUCTURE BEFORE YOU MOVE ON. BECAUSE THIS SPLASH PAD HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. AND IT I WAS ON THE COMMITTEE THAT DID THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN 2017, AND WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT SINCE THEN. SO IS WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR OUR SEPTEMBER BOARD MEETING TO HAVE SOME SORT OF LIKE RIBBON CUTTING? THAT WAY WE CAN, I THINK I THINK WE NEED TO ADVERTISE WHEN WE FINALLY GET THIS THING OPEN, THAT IT IS OPEN BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE MOST REQUESTED AMENITIES FROM OUR CITIZENS. AND IF WE'RE DELIVERING ON THAT, I THINK WE NEED TO CAPITALIZE AND ADVERTISE THAT. BUT WILL THE BENCHES BE THERE BY THEN? DOES THIS HAVE SHAPE? WE WE APPROVED SHADES FOR THIS RIGHT OVER THE BENCHES. WE DID NOT BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING TREES. CORRECT. OH, OKAY. BUT YES, THERE WILL BE A RIBBON CUTTING. WE ORIGINALLY HAD A RIBBON CUTTING SCHEDULED FOR JUNE, BUT DUE TO THE DELAYS WE WERE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT. BUT THERE WILL BE A RIBBON CUTTING. BUT IF YOU DO GO OUT TO THE PARK, YOU WILL SEE A SPLASH PAD. YOU WILL SEE THE AMENITIES IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THERE. SO THERE IS A SPLASH PAD READY TO TURN ON. AND I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED AT. WHAT I SAW. AROUND THE OUT AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE SPLASH PAD. 
          EVERYTHING WAS TORN UP, SO I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I DROVE OUT THERE. YES, IT IS A CONSTRUCTION SITE. IT IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION, SO YOU WILL SEE THE ORANGE FENCING AND YOU WILL NOT SEE THE SOD YET. BUT HERE IN THE NEXT WEEK, WE'RE EXPECTING TO SEE IT LOOK A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN WHAT IT LOOKED THIS WEEK. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE PADDOCK BOARD. WE'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE COUNCIL FOR YOUR VISION, YOUR LEADERSHIP, YOUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND YOUR INVESTMENT IN THIS PROJECT, YOUR COMMITMENT TO IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE AND CREATING MEANINGFUL AMENITIES FOR FAMILIES. MADE THE BREEZY HILL SPLASH PAD POSSIBLE AS YOU STATED. YES, WE'VE BEEN TALKING SINCE 2017. I ACTUALLY WENT BACK IN MY NOTES YESTERDAY AND I WAS LIKE, THIS IS A LONG TIME COMING. IT WAS UNDER PARK DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AT THAT TIME. THAT'S RIGHT. BUT WILL THE HOURS OF THE SPLASH PAD BE? I WAS GOING TO BE DISCUSSED. THEY PROBABLY WILL CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE SEASON. SO WE'LL WE'LL DISCUSS THAT AFTER IT'S DONE AND WE'LL DISCUSS HOW WE'RE GOING TO OPEN IT. WE JUST WANT TO ENSURE YOU GUYS THAT WE WANT TO DELIVER OUR PRODUCT THAT'S CONDUCIVE TO WHAT TARA WANTS. SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO CUT ANY CORNERS. AND THE CONTRACTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT. SO IF IT TAKES A LITTLE DELAY, THEN WE'LL WE'LL DEAL WITH THE DELAY. BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO CUT CORNERS TO DELIVER SOMETHING THAT'S NOT WHAT WE WANT. THANK YOU. WHAT I WAS 
          [01:55:03]
INITIALLY ARE YOU PLANNING BASED ON JUST THE RIBBON CUTTING ON THE 27TH, WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT MAYBE THE SAME AS THE POOL HOURS. OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN MIRROR IT WITH THE POOL HOURS. I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT I THINK THAT SPLASH PAD WOULD BE GREAT FOR BREEZY HILL AND THE COMMUNITY, BUT I ALSO HAVE A QUESTION I NOTICED ON ON POLK STREET, YOU HAVE NO PARKING SIGNS BETWEEN DANIEL AND AND NEW HOPE ALL UP AND DOWN. THAT IS THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING READY FOR THE PARKING LOT, OR YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO PARK ON THE STREET BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE USE THIS FIELD ACROSS THE STREET. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM PARKED IN THAT FIELD ACROSS THE STREET. I, I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PURPOSE OF ALL THOSE NO PARKING SIGNS, THOSE NO PARKING SIGNS ARE THERE FOR WHEN WE HAVE THOSE ACTIVITIES THAT IT CREATES A CLUSTER ON ON OAK STREET. SO PEOPLE ARE PARKING ON BOTH SIDES. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR TRAFFIC TO GET THROUGH. SO YEAH, SO IT MAKES IT HARD FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES TO GET THROUGH AND TRAFFIC TO GET THROUGH. SO WE'RE TRYING TO ELIMINATE THAT, THAT ISSUE. AND ALSO ON THE BACK SIDE AS WELL, BECAUSE RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF THEIR DRIVEWAYS AND, AND GET UP THE STREET AND THEY GET RID OF LEAVE OUT. SO THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO EVENTUALLY WE WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE STREETS WILL BE CLOSED. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE PARKING AREA ANYWAY, RIGHT. IT'S GOING TO BE DEVELOPING PARKING LOT. OH NO, NO, I'M SAYING POLK STREET, POLK STREET. IT IS DESIGNED TO BE A PARKING AREA. IT'S GOING TO BE WHEN WE FINISH WITH IT. NO, IT'S NOT ON THE PARK. OKAY. WE'RE NOT GOING TO PARK UP IN THERE. NO. OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A PARKING PARKING AREA. YEAH, I'VE GOTTEN A FEW CALLS ABOUT THAT TOO, SO I, I'M REALLY ANXIOUSLY ANTICIPATING THE CLOSE OF POLK STREET AND THEN SEE KIND OF HOW WE CAN LOOK BECAUSE SOME OF THE PEOPLE ARE FUSSING ABOUT WALKING THE DISTANCE BECAUSE THEY USE THAT LITTLE AREA WHERE YOU HAVE THE NEW BENCHES AND THE LITTLE GRILLS, THEY ENJOY THAT. AND THEY'VE BEEN GETTING I MEAN, THEY, THEY'VE HAD SOME CONCERNS BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN ASKED ABOUT GETTING OFF THAT GRASS. AND IT MAKES SENSE. YOU SHOULDN'T BE PARKING ON THE GRASS, BUT THEY'RE JUST LIKE, WE DON'T HAVE ANY PLACE TO PARK OTHER THAN PARKING WAY ON THE OTHER END BY THE BASEBALL FIELDS AND WALKING ALL THE WAY OVER. BUT MAYBE WE CAN ANTICIPATE HAVING A DISCUSSION TO SEE WHERE WE CAN GET SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING WITH US, EXPANDING THE PARK TO GIVE A LOT MORE SPACE, A LOT MORE ROOM. 
          OKAY, WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT MORE PARKING IF IT'S MORE SPACE NOW. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO KINGS CREEK PARK, AS YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE UNDER A GRANT. TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE, WE DO HAVE EXCITING NEWS WITHIN A WEEK HERE. IT IS GOING TO BE PUBLICLY OUT FOR BIDS. AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING AT CONSTRUCTION IN OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR. SO WE'RE EXCITED. THAT'S ANOTHER ONE THAT'S BEEN ON OUR BOOKS FOR A LITTLE BIT. SO WE'LL START SEEING SOME THINGS HAPPENING AT THE KINGS CREEK PARK. STALLINGS PARK, YOU BUDGETED FUNDING FOR SOLAR LIGHTING TABLES, TRASH RECEPTACLES, BENCHES AND SOCCER GOALS. THE SOLAR LIGHTING IS THERE CURRENTLY. WE DO KNOW THAT THAT PARK HAS SOME MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO TAKE PLACE AS FAR AS DRAINAGE, BECAUSE THAT PARK DOES NOT HAVE A CROWN ON IT. SO THE WATER SITS ON THE BASKETBALL GOAL AND JUST KIND OF SITS IN SOME OF THE GREEN SPACE AREA. SO WE ARE LOOKING TO APPLY FOR A GRANT AND HAVE THIS UNDER DESIGN IN 2027. WHEN YOU SAY HAVE IT, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE DRAINAGE, THE DRAINAGE ISSUES THE DRAINAGE ISSUE HAS? YES, THAT IS THE MAJOR PART OF IT. IT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED FIRST. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW? YES. OKAY. THAT'S UNFORTUNATE FOR A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK. SO ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS. I'LL GO RIGHT INTO COMMUNITY PARK IMPROVEMENTS. BINGO. FIRST OPTION. FIRST ITEM ON THIS. ON THIS LIST IS THE SOCCER FIELD IRRIGATION PROJECT. IT'S NOW COMPLETED. WE'RE NOT PLAYING ON THOSE FIELDS AT THE MOMENT AT THE TIME. I KNOW THERE'S SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE ANXIOUS. IT'S KIND OF LIKE DANGLING IN FRONT OF A BULLDOG RIGHT NOW, BUT THERE'S SOME PEOPLE THAT'S ANXIOUS TO GET ON THAT GRASS. BUT WE WANT THE ROOT SYSTEM TO ESTABLISH THAT'S SOME MORE THINGS THAT WE WE NEED TO DO TO FINISH THIS PROJECT. WE NEED TO DO SOME FERTILIZATION AND WE NEED TO DO SOME TOPDRESSING SMOOTH IT OFF. SO WE'LL BE GETTING TO THAT. MATTER OF FACT, I WAS GETTING PHONE CALLS EARLIER AS I WAS SITTING IN MY 
          [02:00:03]
SEAT FOR FOR TOP DRESSING. SO ONCE WE GET THAT NEXT SEASON, YOU GUYS WILL BE READY TO PLAY SOCCER ON THOSE FIELDS. SPRING. LIONS. CLUB LANE. THERE'S A PROJECT THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT ON LIONS CLUB LANE. WE WE PICKED UP A LOCATION FOR A PAVILION, MULTI-PURPOSE PAVILION FOR MULTIPURPOSE COURT. BUT WE'RE NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT LOCATION. SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT ANOTHER LOCATION FOR THAT BINGO LAKE, THE DREDGING AND DRAINAGE. IT'S GOING TO BE MARRIED TOGETHER. DREDGING OF THE POND WITH A WITH THE MAINTENANCE, A DRAINAGE PROJECT STORMWATER. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE 2027 ALONG. ONCE WE GET THAT DONE THEN WE'LL FISHING DOCK IN 2027 ALONG ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE POND OR THE BACKSIDE OF THE PAVILION. AND THAT'S A SWIMMING POOL. THAT PROJECT HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THE FILTER PROJECT WAS COMPLETED. THE POOL WAS WE HAD AN AWESOME SEASON THIS YEAR. PEOPLE REALLY ENJOYED IT. WE HAD A COUPLE OF CITY FUNCTIONS THERE. SIRI. SO BASEBALL FIELD FIELD RESTORATION.

WE CAN'T FIND A PLACE FOR THAT FREE PAVILION. WE DID. WE FOUND A PLACE, BUT WE WASN'T SATISFIED WITH THAT PLACE. I KIND OF THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO. I WANT TO KIND OF INCLUDE LOUNGE CLUB.
