[5. ADOPTION OF MINUTES]

[6. NEW BUSINESS]

[*A portion of this video is without audio* ]

THIS IS SUPER HELPFUL FOR OUR BOARD. I KNOW IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME, A LOT OF MOVING PARTS. SO THANK YOU FOR KEEPING TRACK OF ALL OF THIS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR RAELYN ON THE FINANCIAL REPORT? HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED.

[00:05:03]

QUESTIONS FOR DEVONNA. THE PROPERTY THAT YOU YOU PURCHASED IS, YOU SAY ADJACENT. IS IT BEHIND THE BUILDING OR TO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING? SO IT'S ON THE ROAD. IT'S ON. IT'S ON GROVE STREET. BEHIND IT. IT FACES GROVE STREET BEHIND. OKAY. IT. SO IT COULD BE USED FOR MAYBE FOR PARKING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO I WOULD I AM GOING TO TEAR THE HOUSE DOWN AND WE'RE WANTING TO EITHER USE IT FOR PARKING OR MOVE OUR SPACE BACK THAT WAY. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, OUR BUILDING SO CLOSE TO THE THAT SIDEWALK USED TO PREVENT CONSTIPATION COMING IN AS FAR AS OPPORTUNITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT LAST. THAT OFFER FOR. SO. BUT THE HOUSES DOWN WOULD BE I TEAR THE HOUSE DOWN. YES. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. AND THEN EITHER LOOK TO DEMOLISHING OUR BUILDING AND BUILDING A BRAND NEW ONE OR PUSHING IT BACK.

THAT WAY WE CAN GET MORE SPACE IN THE FRONT. THANK YOU FOR COMING. TODAY. IS THE DEMOLITION OF THE BUILDING A POSSIBILITY, OR ARE YOU STILL FEEL CONFIDENT THAT YOU CAN REVITALIZE THE EXISTING STRUCTURE? SO WITH THE ASBESTOS REMOVAL, IT REVEALED A LOT, OBVIOUSLY. AND OUR PIER BEAM FOUNDATION IS ALMOST ROTTED OUT. AND I DID HAVE A CONTRACTOR COME IN AND LOOK AT IT, AND THEY TOLD US THE COST TO REPLACE THE PIER BEAM ACROSS THE WHOLE BUILDING AT 100 AND $100,000, AND THEN PIER BEAM. THE WAY HE EXPLAINED IT TO ME IS THAT THEY DON'T LAST AS LONG AS A CONCRETE FOUNDATION WOULD, AND IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE MORE COSTLY TO RENOVATE THAT OLDER STRUCTURE THAN TO PUT UP A NEW ONE. SO HOPEFULLY WITH COACH, WILL THEY COME IN AND SEE US? YOU CAN GIVE US A BETTER YOU KNOW, FROM HIS POINT OF VIEW WHAT THAT COST WOULD LOOK LIKE TO DEMOLISHING AND BUILDING NEW OR RENOVATING THE EXISTING STRUCTURE. SO RIGHT NOW IT'S THE SAME COST TO RENOVATE. I NOTICED JUST ON THE

[00:10:05]

AND THEN IN SEPTEMBER. THAT IS VERY CONFUSING. SO JUST KIND OF BIG PICTURE. HAVE WE ONLY REIMBURSED FOR ABATEMENT AT THIS POINT? YOU PAID YOU PAID A PORTION OF THE DESIGN COST.

OKAY. AND THEN THERE WERE YOU ORIGINALLY BUDGETED 45000, WHICH WAS FOR DESIGN COSTS. WE PAID SOME OF THOSE DESIGN COSTS, AND SHE NEEDED AN ADDITIONAL 239 TO COVER THE ABATEMENT. THE ABATEMENT ENDED UP COMING IN LESS SO BASED ON THE AMOUNTS THAT WERE ALLOCATED TO BMT AND THE EXPENSES. TO DATE, SHE STILL HAS 15000 LEFT AND THE TOTAL THAT WAS ALLOCATED TO HER.

SO KNOWING THAT THE PLANS VERY POSSIBLY HAVE CHANGED, ARE WE STILL COMMITTED TO THIS 15,000 OR ARE WE ABLE TO PUSH PAUSE UNTIL WE KNOW THE PLAN? OKAY, I'M JUST SHOWING THAT AS ALLOCATION VERSUS OKAY. YEAH, WE'LL BE EAGER TO HEAR WHAT THE PLANS ARE MOVING FORWARD. IT OBVIOUSLY HASN'T MOVED AS FAST AS YOU WOULD LIKE. OR, YOU KNOW, WE WERE EXPECTING WE STILL BELIEVE IN A COMMUNITY CENTER FOR THE COMMUNITY OF TERRELL AND YOUR VISION. SO THANK YOU FOR KEEPING US POSTED AND WE HOPE YOU'LL CONTINUE TO KEEP US POSTED. OH, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THE PACKETS THAT I SENT OUT TO YOU, PROVIDED SOME PHOTOS TO. GOOD MORNING JONATHAN. GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME THIS MORNING. I KNOW THERE HASN'T MOVED AS FAST AS WE WOULD HAVE LIKED.

HOWEVER, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK IN THE BUILDING ALREADY. THINGS WE'VE DONE SO FAR HAVE BEEN. WE REPAINTED THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, BOTH BUILDINGS. IT'S ACTUALLY TWO BUILDINGS. WE INSTALLED THE FRONT COVERS OR FRONT AWNINGS ON BOTH BUILDINGS. WE HAD A BIG STORAGE BUILDING IN THE BACK REMOVED, AND THAT ACTUALLY HELPED FIX A SEWAGE LEAK THAT WAS UNDER THAT BUILDING FROM THE CITY THAT COULDN'T GET TO BECAUSE OF THE BUILDING WAS THERE. SO ONCE THAT BUILDING WAS REMOVED, THE CITY WAS OUT THERE THE NEXT DAY REPAIRING THAT LEAK. WE RAN ALL NEW PLUMBING FROM THE INSIDE OF THE BOTH BUILDINGS, ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK PATIO. EVERYTHING HAD TO BE TORE DOWN. PLUMBING WAS IN REALLY BAD SHAPE. EVERYTHING'S DONE NOW. INSTALL A BRAND NEW GREASE TRAP IN THE BACK OUTSIDE OF THE PROPERTY. IT'S IN GROUND SO IT WON'T AFFECT ANYTHING. ALL NEW ELECTRICAL HAS BEEN DONE ON THE BUILDING. WE HAVE REQUESTED A NEW SERVICE BECAUSE THE METER TO THAT BUILDING WAS ACTUALLY ON A DIFFERENT PROPERTY ON A POWER POLE. SO WE ARE GETTING THAT ONE TAKEN OFF. WE'VE INSTALLED A NEW METER BASE AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL RAN INSIDE THE BUILDING. WE'VE HAD TO LAY INSIDE THE BUILDING. WE HAD TO BREAK DOWN THE CONCRETE, INSTALL BRAND NEW PLUMBING IN THE BUILDING, AND WE ALREADY LEVELED IT OUT, PUT NEW CONCRETE IN THERE. WE'VE BUILT OUR WALLS INSIDE THE BUILDING.

WE'VE BUILT THE BAR AREA ALREADY. AND I THINK SOME OF YOU GUYS HAVE SOME OF THOSE PICTURES OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW, BUT WE'VE DONE A LOT WITH THE BUILDING IN THE BACK, THE BACKSIDE OF IT. THERE WAS ANOTHER SMALL SHED NEXT TO IT THAT WE DEMOED, AND WE COVERED IT UP WITH THE RED, KIND OF LIKE A RED, OUR PANELING, WHICH LOOKS REALLY NICE. ALSO ON THE SIDE OF IT WHERE THE MURAL WAS, WE INSTALLED THE RED PANELING AS WELL, SO IT KIND OF BLENDS

[00:15:01]

THANK YOU. QUESTIONS FOR JONATHAN. DO YOU HAVE AN ACTUAL DATE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT TO BE FINISHED WITH THAT? I HEARD YOU SAY SO MANY WEEKS TO DO THIS AND DO THAT. SO MAYBE HAVE A BALLPARK. I DON'T BECAUSE EVERY TIME I PUT A DATE ON IT, IT GETS PUSHED OUT. SO AND, AND I DON'T WANT TO SET A DATE. I KNOW IT'S AS FAST AS I CAN BECAUSE WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE WE TAKE THE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE LEARN WITH BUILDING OUT OUR COFFEE SHOP THAT WE WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENT, THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T MAKE THOSE SAME MISTAKES. SO WE RATHER TAKE OUR TIME AND DO IT RIGHT. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, I GUESS WE'LL OPEN HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, BY THE END OF THE YEAR. BUT AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO SET A DATE BECAUSE IT KEEPS GETTING PUSHED, BUT WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DO IT RIGHT. SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A LEASE REIMBURSEMENT COMMITTED TO SOCIAL AND A 500 $0 INCENTIVE GRANT. RAYLAN, WHAT'S THE TRIGGER FOR THAT $50,000 REIMBURSEMENT? IS IT CO OKAY.

AND THE PICTURES YOU GAVE, I ASSUME, ARE FOR THE BUILDING ON THE RIGHT. THAT'S THE FOCUS RIGHT NOW. YOU'VE PAINTED THE ONE ON THE LEFT. ANYTHING ELSE GOING ON IN THAT BUILDING RIGHT NOW? OKAY. I MEAN, BESIDES ALL NEW PLUMBING DONE IN THERE TOO, BECAUSE IT'S A WHOLE FACILITY IN ORDER TO WORK. IT'S IT'S ALL CONNECTED. THERE'S NOT REALLY NOTHING GOING ON. WE WE KIND OF JUST CLEAN IT UP AND CLEAR IT UP AND REDO THE BACK. THAT'S VERY GOOD. THERE'S BEEN SOME TALK AMONGST OUR BOARD RECENTLY AT THE LAST MEETING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF JUST LIGHTING THE BUILDINGS. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE AN INVESTMENT IN DOWNTOWN STREET LIGHTING, BUT WE HAVE A VISION AND A HOPE THAT ALL THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES WILL ALSO HAVE AWNING LIGHTING OR JUST, YOU KNOW, TRANSPARENT WINDOWS WITH WINDOW DISPLAYS. I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT FITS INTO A BAR SCENE, BUT AS YOU ALL ARE WORKING ON THE DESIGN FOR THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, WHICH LOOKS NICE, I MEAN, THE WINDOWS AND THE PAINT TRANSFORMATIONAL, BUT GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO JUST HOW WE CAN ADD SOME LIGHT. WE HEAR A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, CITIZENS TALK ABOUT HILLARY LIKES TO SAY THAT AT 6:00, TERRELL ROLLS UP THE CARPET AND EVERYBODY JUST KIND OF GOES TO BED. AND WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE MORE OF AN ENTERTAINMENT SCENE DOWNTOWN, WHICH YOU ALL ARE DOING. AND SO I HOPE THERE'LL BE SOME LIGHTING. MAYBE THERE ALREADY IS SOME LIGHTING OUT FRONT OR FRONT AWNINGS. THEY ARE ELECTRICALLY WIRED, SO WE ARE GOING TO PUT SOME IN, JUST NOT THERE YET. THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR. THEY'RE READY TO GO. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LIGHTING UNDER THOSE AWNINGS. GREAT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. YEAH I THINK NEXT IS MORROW BARBERSHOP. GOOD MORNING. BARBERSHOP. BUT I'M. GOING TO GIVE THE PAGE AROUND THE ABILITY OF HAVING ALREADY ROCKED AROUND. BUT THEY GET OLDER. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE THIS YEAR, A COUPLE OF OLDER PEOPLE COMING. THE FIRST ANCHOR. REALLY IS LOOKING FOR SAFETY

[00:20:02]

THERE YOU GO. YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE AND IT INCREASES AND EVERYBODY COME IN. THEY LOVE THE NEW NEW CHANGES AND ALSO PICKED UP A NEW BARBER. YES. LADY BARBER RIGHT THERE. SO WE GOT TWO BARBERS AND BOTH OF THEM NAME IS ALISA. SO WE GOT ALISA NUMBER ONE AND ALISA NUMBER TWO. BUT HOWEVER THEY, THEY LET ANYBODY WHATEVER. AND SO WE WENT ALONG JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT MORE. THANK YOU, MR. MORROW. QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD. I SEE THAT THE AMOUNT WOULD PAY FOR 12,000. YOU ASKING FOR THE PARKING LOT TO BE PAVED CONCRETE. NO, NO.

ASPHALT. OKAY. WE'RE STILL AT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE 12,000 WILL WOULD COVER THE THE ASPHALT AND THE THE REPAIR ON THE BUILDING. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING AT. IS THAT AN ADDITIONAL REQUEST? OKAY. NOT NOT TRYING TO GIVE THE CHILDREN. A SOLID, YOU KNOW. OKAY. SO IN ADDITION TO MR. MORROW'S UPDATE ON THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN PERFORMED IN PAGE 20, ON PAGE 21 OF YOUR BOARD PACKET, THERE IS A NEW REQUEST. PROJECT TOTAL FOR THE FENCE THAT MR. MORROW DESCRIBED. AND THE ASPHALT PAVING IS 21,900. GIVE THE BOARD A MOMENT TO REVIEW THAT.

PICTURES INCLUDED FOR THE CONCEPT AS WELL. MR. MORROW, OR WHOEVER HAS A BETTER MEMORY THAN ME, ARE WE? DIDN'T WE TALK ONE TIME ABOUT WAS THERE FUNDING FOR WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER TRUE FACADE IMPROVEMENTS IN TERMS OF PAINT OR LIGHTING? DIDN'T WE DISCUSS THAT AT ONE TIME TO THE BUILDING? I WAS I HAD IN MY BRAIN, BUT THAT WAS A PRIOR REQUEST. YES. SO YOU APPROVE AT YOUR LAST MEETING, AN ADDITIONAL $12,000 FOR THE EXTERIOR FACADE THAT WAS GOING TO BE AT THE TOP OF. OKAY. SO THAT WAS FOR. IN LINE WITH WHAT'S OKAY. AND THAT HASN'T BEEN COMPLETED YET. OKAY. SO THOUGHTS FROM THE BOARD ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL REQUEST. AND. YOU KNOW. THAT WAS FOR THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL AND THAT ISN'T THERE YET. I'M EXCITED TO SEE THE EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS. I WOULD SURE HATE FOR THAT NOT

[00:25:11]

OKAY. YOU DO PLAN ON MOVING FORWARD. OKAY. OKAY. GOOD TO KNOW BECAUSE HE HAD THREE PROJECTS. YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. THAT'S THREE BUILDING. AND MR. MARTIN AND I SAW WHERE THEY JUST ANNOUNCED TO START WORKING ON SIDE STREET. OKAY. SO SO I KNOW HE'S AT LEAST STARTED ON ONE OF THE PROJECTS THOUGHTS FROM THE BOARD ON THE FENCING AND ASPHALT PAVING REQUEST. 20.

THE QUOTE IS 219, RIGHT. OH I'M SORRY. BASED ON OUR FORMAT, IS THIS ELIGIBLE FOR WHAT PERCENTAGE REIMBURSEMENT. OKAY, OKAY. WERE YOU PLANNING ON GETTING THE ASPHALT PROJECT TO BEGIN AS SOON AS YOU'RE FUNDED? OR IS THAT FUNDED? YOU THINK THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT FOR FOR SAFETY? IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. OKAY. WELL, LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW.

WALKING ON THE WHITE ROCKS OR WHATEVER. IS MOSTLY FOR THE. AND FOR. BECAUSE LIKE YOU SAID, THIS WOULD ALLOW YOU CANNOT HANDICAP IN FRONT THERE IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING. IT'S ENOUGH FOR ABOUT TWO CARS THERE. I'M GONNA MAKE THAT FOR HANDICAPPED. ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS ELIGIBLE FOR A $10,950 REIMBURSEMENT UPON COMPLETION. DO I HAVE ANY MORE THOUGHTS FROM THE BOARD? IF NOT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION. THANK YOU. JAKE, IS THERE A SECOND? THANK YOU. MARY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. HALF. SO 10,000. 950. YES, SIR. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT WE HAVE M AND F REAL ESTATE. 113 WESTMORE, THE CHAPMAN BUILDING. A LITTLE PRESENTATION BUT ACKNOWLEDGES IS STILL NOT GETTING ALONG. SO COPY. BUT IT DOESN'T. I KNOW I DID A DRONE VIDEO FLYING THROUGH THE BUILDING BECAUSE I WON'T WALK IN THERE. SO. I'LL FLY THROUGH THIS PRETTY QUICK. YEAH, WE'RE GETTING CLOSE THOUGH. AND THIS IS THE M PART OF THE F PARTS. NOT HERE. AND HE'S THE HE'S EVERY DELAY I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE OTHER SIDE. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE WE'RE STILL SORT OF ON TRACK. WE'RE ACTUALLY BEHIND ON OUR MONEY SPENDING, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE ON TRACK WITH WHAT WE WANT TO DO, WHICH IS GOOD. SO WE SHOULD. I PUT SEPTEMBER 28TH TO HAVE OUR, OUR PERMIT SET TURNED IN. I REALLY THINK IT'S GOING TO BE THE 21ST, BUT I GAVE A WEEK BUFFER. WE HAD SOME WORK WE NEEDED TO DO TO FIGURE OUT THE FIT TEST ON THE ELEVATORS AND THE STAIRS, AND JUSTIN DID NOT WANT VINCE GOING OUT THE BACK. SO WE'RE VENTING THREE STORIES, WHICH WE HAD TO FIGURE OUT THE RISER ROOM, I GUESS. TRY TO LOSE AS LITTLE SPACE AS POSSIBLE. SO I DO HAVE THE FLOOR PLANS, WHICH I GOT A LITTLE AHEAD ON THAT, BUT THAT'S REALLY WHAT'S TAKING THE TIME RIGHT NOW. WE'RE JUST

[00:30:04]

WE ARE ABOUT TO START TALKING TO THEM, WHICH FEELS A LITTLE EARLY, BUT REALLY, MORE THAN ANYTHING, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT WHAT KIND OF KITCHEN THEY WANT. THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE WE CAN PUT THE KITCHEN, BUT THERE IS A LITTLE BIT THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT WHAT KIND OF EQUIPMENT WE INSTALL AND WHAT CAN BE DONE. SO AS FAR AS THE THE ALLOCATION FOR Y'ALL'S FISCAL YEAR, I WANT TO SAY IT WAS THIS YEAR, FOR THIS MONTH IT WAS ABOUT 400. AND I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO WE PROBABLY WILL PUT A REQUEST IN FOR LIKE 80 TO 120. SO THAT WILL HAVE TO ROLL INTO THE NEXT YEAR. ORGANIZED OR WHATEVER IT IS WE ARE NOT. THE DESIGN IS GOING WELL. WE HAVE SOME INTERESTED TENANTS IN THE THIRD FLOOR, WHICH IS NICE. I DID PUT SOME PICTURES. OH YEAH.

THE SO THE HISTORIC FACADE. THESE PICTURES WERE FOUND AFTER THE FACT. AND SO JUSTIN REDESIGNED THE ENTIRE FACADE TO MATCH WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE THE DAY IT WAS BUILT. SO WE ARE GOING TO RESTORE TO THE ORIGINAL, WHICH SEEMS LIKE A REALLY EXPENSIVE, CRAZY IDEA, BUT LET'S JUST. YEAH, THAT MURAL, I DO LIKE THAT THE BUILDING NEXT TO IT IS ACTUALLY UP A LITTLE HIGHER NOW THAT IT GOES ABOUT TO HALFWAY THROUGH THE COCA-COLA. SO WE COULD PUT A MURAL UP THERE, BUT WE ARE WE SO THAT THAT PROPERTY IS UNDER CONTRACT. RIGHT. YOU SAID THIS DIDN'T WORK. YEAH IT DOES. I HEARD MY ECHO. AND I'M LIKE, THIS THING DOES WORK. YEAH. SO THE THE HOUSE, THE PROPERTY NEXT TO IT IS UNDER CONTRACT. AND WE, WE ARE TALKING TO THE GUY BUYING IT ABOUT POSSIBLY LEASING OR I GUESS BUYING AN EASEMENT FOR HIS ROOF, WHICH WOULD ALLOW US TO PUT OUR SOME OF OUR MECHANICAL OVER THERE. OTHERWISE WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO DO A ALL INCLUSIVE LEASE AND COVER UTILITIES BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T. WE'RE NOT GOING TO REENGINEER OUR ROOF TO HOLD TEN AIR CONDITIONERS JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. SO BUT REALLY, I MEAN, AT THIS POINT, WE ARE STILL HEAVY, HEAVY, HEAVY DESIGN AND ENGINEERING. THE FLOOR PLAN THAT YOU SEE FOR THE THE FIRST, SECOND, THIRD FLOOR, PRETTY SET IN STONE. THAT'S THE BEST AND MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO HAVE OUR STAIRS. SO IT SHOWS YOU THE THE REMAINING USABLE FOOTAGE. IT WAS A LITTLE LESS THAN WHAT WE HOPED FOR, BUT IT'S NOT HORRIBLE. AND THEN THE MODERN TECHNOLOGY OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MIXED WITH ARCHITECTS. WE HAVE SOME REALLY COOL RENDERINGS OF WHAT WHAT WE THINK THE THE SPACES WILL LOOK LIKE. AND HONESTLY, I MEAN, EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW IS GOING PRETTY MUCH AS WE EXPECTED, IF NOT BETTER. WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY MAJOR SETBACKS, WHICH WE WE REALLY OVERLY PREPARED FOR EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG. SO WE STILL ANTICIPATE THAT HAPPENING, WHICH IS NOT A BIG DEAL IF YOU PLAN ON IT. I'M TRYING TO THINK IF OBVIOUSLY IF YOU SEE ANYTHING IN THE PACKET YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON, LET ME KNOW THE THE BIGGEST QUESTION WE'RE GOING TO HAVE RIGHT NOW, AND THIS IS WHEN YOU'LL WE WOULD LOVE Y'ALL'S INPUT, REALLY EVERYBODY'S INPUT BECAUSE YOU ALL KNOW WE'RE ALL TERRIBLE. WE KNOW TAROT IS FOR THE RESTAURANT. LIKE WHAT, WHAT EVERYONE THINKS IS GOING TO WORK BECAUSE WE WILL OBVIOUSLY HAVE A PARKING ISSUE. AND SO LAST TABLE'S HIGHER PRICE OR, YOU KNOW, 1 OR 2 TABLE TURNS A NIGHT OR BUSY RESTAURANT. AND WE JUST KIND OF FIGURE OUT THE PARKING. IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE TOUGH. BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME REALLY EXCITING PEOPLE THAT WE'VE TALKED TO. AND IT'LL BE GREAT. AND IT'D BE A GOOD THING. I HOPE THE PICTURE THAT'S SHOWING RIGHT NOW, HOW ACCURATE DO YOU BELIEVE THE WIDTH OF THAT IS? IT'S SKINNIER THAN I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT. THE BUILDING IS THAT.

YEAH. SO THAT IS GOING TO BE WITH YOUR RESTROOMS ARE GOING TO BE LIKE BEHIND THE BAR ON THAT. BUT THAT IS I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE EXPOSED EXPOSED BRICK. AND THEN ABOVE THAT IS WHERE THE MEZZANINE. SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE A ONE AND A HALF FLOORS FIRST, BUT THAT'S, THAT SHOULD BE WHAT WE FIT IN. IF WE GET A COUPLE OF RESTAURANTS WE'VE TALKED TO ARCHITECT, PUT THAT IN PLACE AND WE HAD A FLOOR PLAN TO GO ALONG WITH IT, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY SMART TO PUT INTO PRACTICE, AND I DIDN'T DO IT. YOU'RE GOOD. IS THE MEZZANINE ADDITIONAL SEATING FOR THE RESTAURANT? YES. OKAY. THERE'S A QUESTION WE HAVE ABOUT THAT.

OKAY. BECAUSE IT WON'T. WE'LL HAVE STAIRS ONLY, WHICH COULD BE OKAY. I DON'T KNOW. THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE RESTAURANT OFFICES, STORAGE. THE ELEVATOR WOULDN'T ACCESS THE MEZZANINE.

[00:35:04]

Y'ALL ARE DOING IT FIRST CLASS ALL THE WAY. I CAN'T HELP BUT SIT HERE AND THINK AS I DROVE DOWN ROSEHILL YESTERDAY AND I SEE YOU'LL SEE WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS IN A MINUTE. I SEE LAND CLEARING HAPPENING. WHAT I EXPECT TO BE A NEW SUBDIVISION IS THAT WHAT THAT IS? AND OF COURSE ARBORETUM ESTATES AS WELL, UNDER CONSTRUCTION, NORTH SPUR. AND THERE'S ABOUT TO BE A WHOLE LOT OF NEW FAMILIES OR YOUNG SINGLES OR SOMEBODY MOVING TO TERRELL. AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE CATHERINE STREET PARKLET COMING ON BOARD IN THE NEXT 2012, YOU KNOW, 24 MONTHS, WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE TRANSFORMATION OF THIS BUILDING, WHEN I DREAM ABOUT HOPEFULLY THE TRANSFORMATION OF FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING, LIKE I THINK WE ARE REALLY ELEVATING OUR DOWNTOWN TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE ALWAYS DESIRED AND DREAMED THAT IT'S A DESTINATION NOT ONLY FOR THOSE OF US THAT LIVE AND WORK IN TERRELL, BUT ALSO FOR SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES WHO WANT TO GET OUT OF WILLS POINT FOR THE NIGHT OR 40 FOR THE NIGHT. SO THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT. YOU KNOW, YOUR QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER YOU KNOW, HOW YOU PRICE THE DINNER AND HOW YOU TURNTABLES BUSINESS DECISION ON HOW YOU CASH FLOW, THE DEBT ON THE BUILDING. YOU KNOW, YOU MAY LIKELY START WITH ONE AND HAVE TO MOVE TO ANOTHER THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING OR THE SIZE OF THE RESTAURANT WOULD PROBABLY MAKE A RESTAURATEUR A LITTLE NERVOUS IF THERE'S SO FEW TABLES. AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ENVISIONING THE USE. I THINK WE BOTH WERE OF THE MEZZANINE FOR ADDITIONAL SEATING. I'VE SAT ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF RESTAURANTS BEFORE. OF COURSE, I TOOK THE STAIRS. I WAS UNAWARE WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S AN ELEVATOR TO GET YOU THERE. BUT I. THERE'S A RESTAURANT IN THE STOCKYARD. YES, THAT'S WHAT I'M ENVISIONING. AND IT'S. IT HAS A SECOND FLOOR. A LOT OF TIMES, YOU KNOW, NOBODY WANTS TO SIT IN THE RESTAURANT WITH THAT KIND OF A CONCEPT. IT WAS. YEAH. BUT LIKE YOU SAY, I MEAN, CAROL STILL CAROL AND YOU KNOW, THESE RESTAURANTS DOORS ARE NOT OPENING IN THE MORNING. THEY'RE NOT OPEN WHERE THEY REALLY TOUGH TIME TO GET UP. SO WE, WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO GET THEM IN THERE FOR AS CLOSE TO NOTHING AS POSSIBLE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. AND HOPEFULLY THAT'LL GET THEM. I MEAN, IT'S SUCH A RISK. AGREED. WE HAVE A KITCHEN, YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE A KITCHEN SET UP. AND SO THEY JUST THEY CAN COME IN AND BE SUCCESSFUL. BUT WE NEED YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT LULA MAE'S AND THEN WE HAVE THIS AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS. OKAY, WE START CREATING THIS FOREST WALKING ENVIRONMENT, AND THEN THE LITTLE BUILDINGS IN THE MIDDLE POP UP, I AGREE. IT

[00:40:03]

IT'S A ELEVATED RESTAURANT DOWNTOWN. FATE. IT WAS A LEAP OF FAITH FOR WHOEVER THAT OWNER IS. IT'S HUGE. IT'S HUGE. AND IT'S A YOU KNOW, IT CAN BE $100 A PLATE RESTAURANT DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU ORDER. THEY HAVE WAGYU AND WHATEVER GOOD WINE AND IT IT'S PACKED. YOU CANNOT IF YOU GO THERE TONIGHT, YOU WILL WAIT TWO HOURS FOR A TABLE. SO SOMEHOW THEY'VE MADE IT SPECIAL.

AND I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS A HIGHER END RESTAURANT MIGHT NOT WORK IN TERRELL TODAY WITH ALL THE NEW. WITH TERRA NOVA, WITH ALL THE NEW FAMILIES AND HOUSING, THAT'S THE PRICE POINT OUR TOWN IS MISSING. IF WE DO ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, $20 PLATE RESTAURANT.

OKAY, WE HAVE A FEW OF THOSE ALREADY. SO I THINK THIS WOULD MAKE WAVES THROUGHOUT OTHER COMMUNITIES A RIPPLE EFFECT. PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO COME TRY IT OUT. I MEAN, THAT'S KIND OF LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN. LIKE A DESTINATION OVER AT DONATOS. OR SANTA ROSA. YOU MUST HAVE SOMETHING. YEAH, THOSE ARE ALL DIFFERENT PRICE POINTS THAT THEY HAVE THAT THEY HAVE A FOLLOWING AND THEY I'M NOT GOING TO DO A RESTAURANT. WE HAVE TO FIND A, I'M NOT SURE REAL ESTATE IS SCARY ENOUGH. I DON'T WANT TO BE. HOW MANY. I THINK IT'S PRETTY FLEXIBLE HOW MANY TENANTS YOU HAVE ON THE OTHER TWO FLOORS, RIGHT. PROBABLY PLANNING ON 4 OR 5 SPACES ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF SMALLER 500 FOOT. OKAY. AND THEN UPSTAIRS MAXIMUM OF THREE.

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ALREADY HAVE ONE, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE. OKAY. SO ALSO WE HAVE A TENANT ONLY HORNS PROBABLY GOING TO NEED MORE SPACE. SO WE KICK THE CONGRESSMAN OUT BECAUSE HE NEEDS A SPACE. SOMEBODY FINDS HIM OR HE'LL HAVE TO MOVE HIM. AND AND THERE'S THE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE COME HERE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN IN THEIR 92FT IN THE. HOW DID HOW WILL THE OFFICE TENANTS ACCESS THEIR SPACE THROUGH THE FRONT OR THE BACK? BOTH. OKAY. IT'LL BE A SEPARATE ENTRY ON THE FRONT STAIRS AND ON THE OTHER. I'M READING LATE AT NIGHT, I. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MATT? WE'RE EXCITED. NOTICE A PARKING GARAGE? YEAH. VERY GOOD. YEAH THAT'S TRUE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I THINK NEXT WE HAVE PINA HOLDINGS. THE SKINNY BUILDING AT 213 EAST MOORE. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. ACTUALLY WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SKINNY BUILDING. WE HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU. OKAY. WE'RE HERE FOR HERE. IT GRIFFITH BUILDING EYESORE FOR THE CITY IN DOWNTOWN. WE HAVE ACTUALLY A CANDY AN ICE CREAM NATIONAL THAT WANTS TO GUARANTEE A CORPORATE LEASE FOR TEN YEARS. AND THEY ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE BUILDING. SO WE HAVE A LETTER OF INTENT RIGHT NOW. AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING FOR MATCHING FUNDS FOR CONSTRUCTION. FIRST IS GOING TO BE ABOUT $420,000. SO WE SWITCH GEARS TO HAVE A CANDY STORE. AND THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS ACTUALLY IT'S THE CRITERIA BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE IN DOWNTOWN. SO THEY'RE IN ABOUT 20 DIFFERENT. THEY HAVE 24 STORES IN ABOUT FIVE DIFFERENT STATES. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND STORE IN PHASES. SO IT'S A PROVEN CONCEPT. WE LOVE THE DOWNTOWN ENVIRONMENT. SO I THINK IT'LL BE A WIN WIN SITUATION FOR THE TOWN FOR EVERYBODY. AND THEY'LL BE A DESTINATION FOR THE. WHAT LEWIS IS REFERRING TO IS ON PAGE 33 OF YOUR PACKAGE. WOULD THAT BE LIKE A CANDY BY THE POUND, OR WERE THEY ALL THE SELECTIONS? VINTAGE STORES. THEY HAVE AN ICE CREAM SHOP. OH, OKAY. OKAY.

SO IT'S AN ICE CREAM SHOP WITH A CANDY STORE. OKAY. AND WE'LL TAKE BETWEEN 3000 AND 5000 SQUARE. AND BASICALLY WE LOVE TO DO THE SAME VINTAGE. SORRY, SAME VINTAGE STOREFRONT, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED A WHOLE NEW ROOF AND WE NEED ALL THE WALLS, ALL THE RENOVATION FOR THE BUILDING. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, THESE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING TO BE HERE IN DOWNTOWN, WHICH IS A PLUS. ANY IDEA ON THE HOURS THEY MIGHT TRY TO STAY OPEN? I MEAN, IS THIS A

[00:45:08]

AND THEN THE ANDERSON BUILDING PURCHASE AT THE RIGHT TIME FOR THE RIGHT PRICE. BUT JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION, I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE BUILDING YOU START WITH BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A MASSIVE INVESTMENT. SO I CAN APPRECIATE THE STRATEGY OF BUYING SOME OTHER BUILDINGS, BUILDING UP SOME MOMENTUM DOWNTOWN WITH LESS RISK WITH SOME OF THE OTHER BUILDINGS.

THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN LARGE INVESTMENTS, DON'T GET ME WRONG, BUT IT HAS ALWAYS, MY UNDERSTANDING, BEEN THEIR GOAL THAT TO BUILD SOME SYNERGY AROUND THE ANDERSON BUILDING BEFORE REALLY, YOU KNOW, FINDING THE RIGHT TENANT FOR THE ANDERSON BUILDING AND BEFORE DECIDING HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THAT BUILDING AS WELL. SO. I THINK THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE CONCEPT, SOMETHING WE DON'T HAVE REALLY IN DOWNTOWN. WE DON'T HAVE IN DOWNTOWN. I CAN'T IMAGINE THIS STORE WOULDN'T WANT TO STAY OPEN, ESPECIALLY ON WEEKENDS.

LATER, IT FALLS IN LINE WITH THE RESTAURANTS AND THE, YOU KNOW, BAR. YOU KNOW, THIS WOULD BE A HOT SPOT FOR DOWNTOWN EVENTS AS WELL. AT THE SAME TIME. SO YES, ALL THAT SYNERGY IS WORKING TOGETHER. ABSOLUTELY. BUT WE NEED IS BASICALLY MOVING FAST. YEAH. YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE GOING TO SKYROCKET RIGHT NOW. MATERIALS ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE. SO, YOU

[00:50:03]

SO, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE STORE AS WELL. SO THIS IS RESTROOMS, THIS IS ACCESSIBILITY. THIS IS OKAY. YEAH, THERE'S BASICALLY IT'S A VANILLA BOX. SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE AIR CONDITIONER, BATHROOMS, LIGHTING. THEY'RE GOING TO DO THEIR OWN FLOORING.

BUT THIS IS GOING TO PUT BASICALLY SHELVING OR EVERYTHING INTERIOR DECORATION.

AND I THINK THEY HAVE A LITTLE TRAIN THAT GOES AROUND. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY PUT IT IN ALL THE STORES, BUT IN SOME OF THE STORES THEY PUT A LITTLE TRAIN FOR THE KIDS TO WATCH. YOU KNOW, LIKE BACK IN THE OLD DAYS, I USED TO LOVE WATCHING THOSE TRAINS IN DIFFERENT STORES, BUT THEY'RE BRINGING THAT BACK AND I THINK THAT'LL BE SOMETHING NICE. I THINK YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY MADE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE LOT NEXT TO THIS. IS ANY OF THIS FUNDING FOR THAT OR IT'S JUST FOR THE BUILDING? NO, IT'S JUST FOR THE BUILDING. THE LOTS ARE YOU KNOW, WE BASICALLY LIVE IN IT FOR I MEAN, CITY, CITY, AND MAYBE THERE'S A, THERE'S A PROJECT THAT WE TALK ABOUT THAT, YOU KNOW, CAN BE MAYBE PRODUCED ONE OF THESE DAYS, YOU KNOW, IN THE NEAR FUTURE. BUT AT THIS TIME, WE JUST BASICALLY WANT TO DO THE I THINK THERE'LL BE SOMETHING NICE FOR PEOPLE TO SEE, ESPECIALLY WE'RE TRYING TO INCORPORATE ANOTHER MURAL IN THAT WALL, PART OF THAT WALL. SO IT'LL BE SOMETHING UNIQUE. AND WE'RE TRYING TO BRING A MURALIST FROM ROMANIA. HE'S IN ROMANIA. SO EVERY TIME WE ASK HIM TO COME FOR MURAL, HE'LL COME. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE FAMILY ASPECT OF THIS TYPE OF A BUSINESS DOWN THERE. WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT ADULT TYPE ENTERTAINMENT. THIS IS ONE THAT I THINK WOULD ATTRACT A LOT OF OUR OUR FAMILY ATMOSPHERE, ESPECIALLY FOR SPECIAL EVENTS AND JUST AN EVENING DOWNTOWN.

SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT AND FINDING THAT THAT TYPE OF A TENANT. ALL RIGHT. IF THERE ARE NO OTHER COMMENTS AT THIS TIME, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION BEFORE ACTUALLY I GO THAT RAY ALLEN, WHICH BUDGET DOES THIS COME? IS THIS A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OR IS IT. YES, AS A DEVELOPMENT. OKAY. WHICH WE HAVE ROOM IN OUR BUDGET FOR THIS SPENDING. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE A $212,000 GRANT PAYABLE AS A

[00:55:06]

I MAKE THAT MOTION. THANK YOU. IS THERE A SECOND? THANK YOU. MARY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING I OPPOSED SAME SIGN. GO GET HIM, LEWIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. GO. YES.

THAT'S RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL. DO IT FOR TERRELL. I BELIEVE THAT'S THE CONCLUSION OF OUR PROJECT UPDATES. IS THAT CORRECT? RAILAN. THANK YOU. NEXT ON THE AGENDA. CAN I ASK IF WE HEARD ANY MORE FROM THE SOUTHLAND GROUP, THE SOUTHLAND BUILDING? YEAH, WE HAVE NOT REACHED OUT TO THEM. OKAY. IS THERE ONE OTHER ON THERE THAT WASN'T ABLE TO BE. THEY HAVEN'T ASKED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING. AND LIKE I SAID, ON SIDE STREET, THEY JUST STARTED. OKAY, I SAW IT. I SAW WHERE HE HAD POSTED SOMETHING ON FACEBOOK, JUST LETTING PEOPLE KNOW TO BE CAREFUL WHEN THEY COME IN. SO I MEAN, HELP US OUT. I DID NOT VOLUNTEER AT SIDE STREET BECAUSE. WE'RE. OKAY. I KNOW, I KNOW. I'M NOT GOING TO BE THE ONE. SO. VERY GOOD. ALRIGHT, AT THIS TIME WE'LL DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE 2026 PARK CAPITAL PROJECT UPDATES AND FUNDING REQUESTS. OKAY, SO WE HAVE A FEW UPDATES FROM OUR LAST MEETING, AND I'M JUST GOING TO GO DOWN THE LINE. AS YOU SEE IN YOUR PACKET, YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE SAME THINGS THAT WE'VE BROUGHT TO YOU BEFORE. OUR PLAN IS JUST TO KEEP YOU ALL UPDATED ON WHERE WE ARE, WHAT WE'RE DOING, AND WHERE WE'RE GOING. SO FOR OLI WHITE, THE MAJOR PARK UPGRADES, AGAIN, WE WANT TO FINISH OUT WHAT OUR ORIGINAL PARK MASTER PLAN HAS IN OUR. I THINK IT'S 2017 PARK MASTER PLAN. WE WANT TO FINISH THAT OUT BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE. BEFORE WE DECIDE WE WANT TO DO A NEW PARK MASTER PLAN. SO WE HAVE THE INFORMATION, WE KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO AND THAT IS OUR PLAN. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AND APPLY FOR A GRANT FROM TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE, WHICH THEY ARE 50/50 GRANTS. OUR PLAN IS TO HAVE IT UNDER DESIGN, AND BY 2028, FOR BREEZY HILL, OUR PLAN IS TO CLOSE POLK STREET BETWEEN NEW HOPE AND DANIELS, AND THAT GIVES US KIND OF A CONTINUATION OF OUR PARK WITHOUT HAVING THE TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH OUR PARK.

SO WE ARE GOING TO BE WORKING IN-HOUSE ON THAT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION. SO YOU'LL HEAR SOME UPDATES COMING UP IN THE FUTURE ON WHEN THAT'S GOING TO START AND ALL THE OTHER PLANS CONCERNING THAT. THE SPLASH PAD, WHICH IS SOUTH OF THE FOX HOLE OR THE JAMIE FOX COURT, WE HAD OUR GRAND OPENING ON AUGUST 29TH AND WE HAD A GOOD TIME. MISS HILLARY CAME OUT, SOME OF THE OTHERS CAME OUT, COUNCIL MEMBERS CAME OUT. WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE PADDOCK BOARD FOR YOUR SUPPORT. THE CHILDREN HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. IT WAS VERY EXCITING. NEXT WEEK, THE SPLASH PAD WILL RECEIVE WHAT WE MENTIONED A RESURFACE. IT IS ACTUALLY A COOLING PAD, SO WE KNOW THAT CONCRETE DOES HEATS UP. SO IT ACTUALLY BE A COOLING PAD THAT'LL BE IN THE CENTER CIRCLE OF THAT SPLASH PAD. SO THAT'S SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE STARTING TUESDAY. IT TAKES 24 HOURS TO CURE. IT'S ACTUALLY A TWO DAY PROCESS. OUR SPLASH PAD POST WE POSTED ON FACEBOOK, SOCIAL MEDIA, JUST TO INFORM THE CITIZENS THAT THIS WOULD BE THE LAST WEEKEND THAT WE HAVE IT OPEN DURING THE WEEK. SO IT WILL CLOSE DURING THE WEEK AND ONLY OPEN FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKENDS. WE WILL CLOSE THE END OF THIS MONTH, WHICH IS I THINK THE 27TH IS THE WEEKEND THAT WE WILL CLOSE THE SPLASH PAD. OUR PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT. THERE WILL BE A NEW SWING SET. WE'RE JUST REPLACING THE SWING SET THAT WE REMOVED. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE SWING SET. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO THE SPLASH PAD. SO WE REMOVED THAT AND WE'RE PUTTING IN A BRAND NEW ONE. SHOULD BE INSTALLED CLOSER TO THE END OF THE MONTH, SO THEY'LL HAVE A NEW AMENITY AT BREEZY HILL, KINGS CREEK PARK THAT IS ALREADY UNDER

[01:00:10]

THEY CAN'T USE IT. WHENEVER IT RAINS THE BASKETBALL COURT, THEY CAN'T USE IT BECAUSE THAT WATER JUST SITS ON THE COURT. SO OUR PLAN IS TO INCLUDE THAT. WE DO HAVE INFORMATION FOR DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, AND WE PLAN ON MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT. UNDER THAT GRANT. FOR OUR COMMUNITY PARK IMPROVEMENTS, BINGFIELD PARK SOCCER FIELD IRRIGATION PROJECT WAS COMPLETED IN 2026. THEY WILL BEGIN TO PLAY ON THAT IN SPRING OF 2027. THE LIONS CLUB PAVILION DONATING FOR THE MULTI-PURPOSE COURT LOCATION. WE COME TO YOU TODAY TO TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE SELECTED A LOCATION FOR THIS DONATION AND IT WILL BE ADJACENT OR SIT IN BETWEEN THE NEWEST PLAYGROUND AND THE RESTROOMS OVER BY THE RESTROOMS THAT SERVE THAT PLAYGROUND AND THE FOOTBALL FIELD FOR THE LITTLE LEAGUE. SO IT'LL BE IN THAT OPEN SPACE.

IT'LL BE YES, IT'LL BE ON JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PLAYGROUND. IT'S WHERE THE LOCATION THAT WE ARE PROPOSING. SO WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU AT THE NEXT MEETING, HOPEFULLY WITH A DATE FOR START, SO THAT WE CAN SEE THAT HAPPEN AND MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS AT BENGAL IN THAT AREA. BENGAL LAKE, WE DO HAVE A DREDGING AND DRAINAGE CONTRACT THAT WE'RE WORKING ON A DRAINAGE, DREDGING AND DRAINING CONTRACT FOR THAT POND TO REMOVE THE SEED AMOUNT THAT IS IN THAT POND, YOU MAY SEE WORK GOING ON. WE'RE KIND OF DOING SOME CLEANUP AROUND THE POND THIS YEAR JUST TO GET IT READY FOR THIS PROJECT THAT'S COMING UP IN 2027. IT WILL BE FUNDED OUT OF THE CITY STORMWATER FUND. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE DONE EVERY SO OFTEN. YES, MA'AM. IT HAS TO BE DONE EVERY SO OFTEN. CURRENTLY, I WILL SAY WE HAVE HAD IT SURVEYED. THEY'VE CAME OUT, DID SURVEY, AND WE REALIZED THAT WE GOT QUITE A BIT OF SEDIMENT IN THAT POND. AND IT TAKES SPECIAL EQUIPMENT TO REACH OUT TO THE CENTER OF THAT POND. SO ONCE WE GET THAT DONE, THEN WE WANT TO LOOK AT PUTTING IN A FISHING DOCK THAT WILL HAVE SEATING ON THE FISHING DOCK SO THAT OUR CITIZENS OR PEOPLE THAT COME AND VISIT OUR PARK CAN GO AND, YOU KNOW, FISH OUT AT THE PARK. IT IS CATCH AND RELEASE. BUT JUST SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE, THAT'S THEIR HOBBY. THAT'S WHAT THEY LIKE TO DO FOR OUR SWIMMING POOL. THAT PROJECT WAS COMPLETED AND THE SWIMMING POOL IS GOING. IT'S WONDERFUL.

THEY WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT THIS YEAR. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU TO THE PADDOCK FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THAT PROJECT. BASEBALL FIELDS, FIELD RESTORATION. WE WANT TO LOOK AT UPGRADING OUR FIELDS, PUTTING IN SOME MORE WORK. I THINK WE HAVE A NICE COMPLEX FOR OUR SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL, BUT THERE IS SOME WORK THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO PUT IN IT FOR THE FIELDS. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE REACHING OUT TO US FOR TOURNAMENT PLAY, SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP OUR FIELDS REALLY NICE. THEN WE MOVE INTO START TALKING ABOUT SPORT TOURISM WHEN WE HAVE NICER FIELDS, BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING IN AND HOSTING TOURNAMENTS, WHICH THEN WILL LEAD TO TAX DOLLARS, TAX REVENUE. SO. THE SAME THING BASEBALL FIELDS, SOCCER FIELDS, THE BASEBALL FIELDS. WE WANT TO SAY AGAIN, THANK YOU TO THE DONORS. THEY WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CITY TO GET THAT CONCESSION STAND AT THE BASEBALL FIELD. IT'S BEAUTIFUL. I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT. THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB.

SO I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THAT AND HELPING US MOVE IN THAT FORWARD. OTHER PROJECT UPDATES. CREEKSIDE PARK PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION. WE ARE REVIEWING
