[00:00:07]

WE DO HAVE A QUORUM PRESENT, SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND CALL US TO ORDER.

FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS LEGISLATIVE.

COMMISSIONER. MR. MAYOR. MR. COMMISSIONER, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE ANGLETON BETTER LIVING CORPORATION MEETING. I SECOND THE MOTION I HAVE A MOTION BY MAYOR PRO-TEM WRIGHT, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON.

AYE ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAME SIGN.

THAT MOTION CARRIES.

NUMBER TWO DISCUSSION REGARDING WINTER STORM IMPACTS ON THE PARKS AND RECREATION

[2. Discussion regarding Winter Storm impacts on the Parks & Recreation Department.]

FROM FEBRUARY 15TH TO THE 21ST, WE DID OPEN THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER AS A WARMING CENTER FOR THE COMMUNITY.

WE TRACKED THE USE OF THE FOLLOWING AMENITIES, INCLUDING SHOWER USE.

WE SERVED NINETY NINE PEOPLE.

WE HAD A FEW PEOPLE COME IN FOR RESTROOMS, BULK WATER PICK UP.

WE HAD THREE OPPORTUNITIES.

MANY OF YOU GUYS WERE OUT THERE HELPING TO DISTRIBUTE WATER AND WE HAD ONE INDIVIDUAL COME AND USE THE FACILITY FOR WARMING USE.

WE ALSO HAD VARIOUS ITEMS DONATED TO THE RECREATION CENTER FROM EMS AND WE HAD A PARTNER, CENTERPOINT ENERGY DONATED ABOUT THIRTY BREAKFAST MEALS THAT WE ALSO DISTRIBUTED TO STAFF THAT WERE WORKING DURING THE TIME.

WE HELPED PROVIDE SOME OF THE DONATED ITEMS TO ACTIONS WHEN THEY IF THEY WERE NOT USED DURING THAT TIME. SO THEY ARE STILL ACTUALLY BEING USED AND STORED AT THE FACILITY.

AND WE WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU SOME INFORMATION REGARDING OUR MEMBERSHIPS AND DAILY PASSES DURING THIS TIME WHERE WERE CLOSED DOWN.

SO BASED ON CALCULATIONS FOR OUR TYPICAL DAILY PASS AND MEMBERSHIPS, IN FEBRUARY, WE ANTICIPATED A LOSS OF ABOUT TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REVENUE FOR MEMBERSHIPS AND A LITTLE OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR DAILY [INAUDIBLE] DURING THAT TIME.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

AS IT RELATES TO PARKS, WE DID HAVE SOME DAMAGE TO SOME OF OUR PARK FACILITIES, WHICH WE HAD MENTIONED.

WE ALSO HAD PARK STAFF UNLOAD ABOUT TWENTY TWO PALLETS OF WATER AT THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER FOR DISTRIBUTION.

THOSE WERE THE THREE OPPORTUNITIES WERE REFERRING TO.

WE ALSO, WITH RESPECT TO THE BULK WATER, WE HAD PATRONS COME IN AND GET WATER IF THEY NEEDED TOO, JUST TO FLUSH TOILETS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

THAT WAS ALSO A SERVICE THAT WERE PROVIDING.

WE PUT OUT SIGNAGE FOR THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER WARMING CENTERS, PICKED UP OVER 40 BLANKETS FROM RED CROSS AND TEXAS CITY AND DELIVERED THEM TO COUNTRY CARE VILLAGE.

WE DELIVERED MEALS AND FOOD TO CITIZENS ON A TWO ON ONE LIST, THOSE THAT WERE IN NEED AND PROVIDED TWO NON POTABLE WATER TANK TRAILERS FOR CITIZENS THAT COULD BE PICKED OR FILLED AT THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER.

SO WE WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THAT INFORMATION.

THE DAMAGE THAT WE HAD AT SOME OF OUR PARKS, INCLUDING FREEDOM PARK, BATES PARK AND B.G.

PECK SOCCER COMPLEX AMOUNTED TO A LITTLE OVER THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REPAIRS.

AND LEADERSHIP STAFF HAS ADDRESSED MANY OF THESE ITEMS ALREADY.

COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE TO HELP MITIGATE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE NOT PREPARED FOR.

WE HAVE A REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM THAT IS NOW INSTALLED IN THE REC CENTER, SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE WATER FOR PATRONS OR RESIDENTS THAT NEED IT, THAT DON'T HAVE THEIR WATER ON.

EVEN WHEN WERE ABLE TO UTILIZE WATER, SOME FOLKS STILL HAD IT TURNED OFF BECAUSE THEY HAD SO MUCH DAMAGE. AND SO WE NOW HAVE THAT AMENITY AT THE RECREATION CENTER.

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT CARES REIMBURSEMENT FUNDS TO BE UTILIZED TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE OTHER ITEMS WE NOTED WERE CONCERNED LIKE A BACKUP GENERATOR FOR THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER SO THAT IT COULD TRULY BE A WARMING CENTER DURING A CRISIS LIKE THESE.

SO WE JUST WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME INFORMATION AND ALLOW YOU TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING THE STORM AND HOW WE ANSWERED TO RESIDENTS CONCERNS OR NEEDS.

I HAVE ONE. HOW DOES THE REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM WORK IF YOU DON'T HAVE WATER.

IT DOESN'T

[00:06:01]

EVEN WHEN THE WATER CITY WATER WAS ABLE TO BE USED, WE STILL HAD RESIDENTS THAT WERE SUFFERING BECAUSE THEY HAD DAMAGE.

THEY COULDN'T TURN THEIR WATER ON.

AND SO WERE ALLOWING THEM TO COME OR THEY CAN NOW COME AND FILL UP BULK WATER BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT SYSTEM IN PLACE. SO IF WE DIDN'T HAVE FOR INSTANCE, WE HUSTLED TO GET THESE PACKAGES OF WATER OUT TO RESIDENTS THAT NEEDED IT.

BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE THAT BACKUP IN THE FUTURE, WE NOW HAVE A REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM SO THAT IF PEOPLE WHO DO HAVE THEIR WATER TURNED OFF AND DON'T CAN'T ACCESS IT CAN COME AND GET AND FILL UP DRINKING WATER.

SO, THEY DON'T WANT TO DRINK THE ANGLETON DRINKING WATER UNLESS IT'S BEEN PROCESSED THROUGH REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM.

NO, TO BE CLEAR, WHAT I'M SAYING IS IF PEOPLE HAVE DAMAGE TO THEIR HOME AND THEY HAVE TO TURN THEIR WATER OFF, THEN THEY HAVE A RESOURCE FOR WATER, DRINKING WATER IN THE CASE THAT WE CAN'T SUPPLY THEM WITH BOTTLED WATER DURING THAT TIME.

OK, I'LL GET YOU LATER.

OK. I HAPPEN TO HAVE A REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM ON MY HOUSE JUST BECAUSE BUT I STILL DRINK ANGLETON DRINKING WATER OUT OF MY TAP.

SO PART OF IT IS IF WE HAVE A BOIL WATER NOTICE--WE HAD TWO IN THE LAST YEAR--THAT HELPS US MITIGATE THAT. WE'VE GOT WATER, BUT WE CAN'T USE IT BECAUSE WE'D HAVE TO BOIL IT.

THANK YOU, BECAUSE IT WASN'T DRINKABLE.

RIGHT. AND THEN THE SECOND PART IS WE'RE WORKING.

WE JUST SUBMITTED FOR A GRANT FOR COLLECTING RAINWATER.

AND SO AGAIN, THE REC CENTER WOULD BE A POTENTIAL SITE FOR THAT.

SO WE COLLECT RAINWATER.

IF WE NEED TO TREAT MORE, WE COULD RUN IT THROUGH PUMPING IN OUR WATER SYSTEM AND THEN USE A REVERSE OSMOSIS TO MAKE IT DRINKABLE.

GOT IT. OK. SO, MEGAN, YOUR STAFF AT THE REC CENTER , YOU HAD CHARGE STATIONS, YOU'VE HAD HOT SHOWERS AND OTHER THINGS, IS THERE DO YOU ALL HAVE AFTER EXPERIENCING THAT LIKE A LIST OF THINGS THAT WOULD MAKE THE NEXT WEATHER EVENT OR NATURAL DISASTER OR WHATEVER HELPFUL TO HAVE? I MEAN, ARE THERE SOME THINGS, YOU KNOW THAT YOU NEED THAT YOU DON'T HAVE? YES, AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AMONG SENIOR LEADERSHIP STAFF AND JUST OUR PARKS AND RECREATION LEADERSHIP STAFF.

WE'VE IDENTIFIED COUNTLESS ITEMS THAT WILL BE GOING TO CITY COUNCIL FOR CARES REIMBURSEMENT FUNDING. BUT THEN WHAT CANNOT BE FUNDED BY THAT PROGRAM? WE'RE LOOKING AT AMERICAN RECOVERY ACT FOR INFRASTRUCTURE REIMBURSEMENT TYPE OF PROGRAMS. AND ADDITIONALLY, WHAT IS NOT POTENTIALLY FUNDED BY THAT, WE'RE GOING TO BRING TO YOU ALL FOR BUDGET. WELL, YEAH, THERE'S JUST I THINK WHEN WE FIRST STARTED LOOKING AT BUILDING THAT FACILITY, WE ALWAYS KNEW IT'D BE SOMETHING FOR THE COMMUNITY WHEN THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN. BUT I DON'T KNOW, LIKE WHETHER YOU NEED STORAGE.

IF YOU HAVE I THINK DURING HARVEY, DIDN'T WE HAVE SOME OF THE FIRST RESPONDERS FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES STAYED THERE.

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW WERE ON COTS OR THAT KIND OF STUFF, OR [INAUDIBLE] I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE MUCH STORAGE ROOM IN THE REC CENTER FOR THINGS LIKE THAT, DO YOU, AS FAR AS BIG STORAGE AREAS? NO, WE DON'T.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE WE HAVE DONE ALREADY IS I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S IS IT THREE CONEX BOXES? FOUR? AT THE OLD [INAUDIBLE] ANDERSON BUILDING THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY USING FOR THINGS JUST LIKE THAT SO THAT WE CAN HAVE BULK WATER STORAGE AT TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED STORAGE AREAS . FOOD FOR STAFF FOR A PERIOD OF I THINK WE'VE CALCULATED FOUR DAYS AND THEN COT STORAGE, ALL OF THAT IS GOING TO BE IN THAT AREA.

STAFF'S WORKED WITH GLENN TO IDENTIFY LOGISTICAL NEEDS, NOT JUST FOR A WINTER WEATHER STORM, BUT HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS, OTHER INCIDENCES THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE, COATS, BLANKETS, PILLOWS, SHEETS FOR COTS, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THAT HAS BEEN COMPILED.

AND AGAIN, I BELIEVE THAT'S GOING BEFORE COUNCIL JUST TO REVIEW AND SEE WHAT THE NEEDS ARE. WOULD YOU GET A GENERATOR OR WOULD YOU JUST TRY TO GET A CONNECTION, SO YOU RENT A GENERATOR? WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS THAT WE HAVE A HOOK UP FOR A TEMPORARY GENERATOR SO THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONNECT A GENERATOR.

BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT GRANTS FOR A PERMANENT GAS.

SO BOTH FOR HURRICANE LAURA AND THE WINTER STORM, THE FEMA MITIGATION GRANTS ARE OUT.

[00:10:05]

SO BASICALLY, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE SAME PACKAGE AND PUT IT IN BOTH MITIGATION GRANTS.

AND IF WE GET ONE OF THE OTHER COMBINATION, THEN WE CAN DO THAT.

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT THE AMERICA'S RECOVERY ACT THAT'S FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND BROADBAND.

AND SO, AGAIN, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT FACILITIES AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS AND WE COULD POTENTIALLY STICK A GENERATOR IN THAT.

BUT GETTING THE HOOK UP GIVES US THE ABILITY TO RENT IT AND PUT IT ON SITE.

AND NOW WE'VE GOT 24 HOUR POWER [INAUDIBLE].

GOOD QUESTIONS, CHRIS. WELL, WE DECIDED WHEN WE HAD OUR KIND OF OUR [INAUDIBLE] COUNCIL IS LOOK AT WAYS THAT WE CAN BE MORE SELF-SUFFICIENT.

FOR YEARS WE WAIT ON THE GOVERNMENT.

NOW EVERYBODY'S WAITING ON THE GOVERNMENT.

SO WE DECIDED TO GET A LIST HOW WE COULD SUSTAIN OUR CITY FOR AT LEAST FOUR TO FIVE DAYS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOUR OR FIVE DAYS TO GET [INAUDIBLE] INTO THE CITY. SO, THE STAFF HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD ABOUT THINKING ABOUT HOOK UPS, BEDS, COTS, SHEETS, WATER, FOOD, MRES, BECAUSE WE KNOW IT'S GONNA TAKE TWO OR THREE DAYS BEFORE WE FINALLY GET SOME ASSETS FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

AND SO THEY'VE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AND TRYING TO START THINKING FOUR DAYS OUT, WHAT WOULD WE NEED IN THE CITY? AND BECAUSE [INAUDIBLE] RESPONDERS, YOU KNOW, THE NURSING HOMES, I MEAN, THERE'S JUST ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE'VE ENCOUNTERED IN THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE DISASTERS, SO.

DID WELL ON THE WATER, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU HEAR GOOD AND BAD, BUT IT SEEMED LIKE ANGLETON WAS AHEAD OF THE GAME.

WE WERE. AND WHATEVER YOU ALL DID THERE, YOU DID RIGHT.

YES, I HAD OTHER MAYORS FROM OTHER CITIES CALLING ME SAYING, HOW DID YOU GET THAT SO FAST? IT WAS JUST A LOT OF FORWARD THINKING, A LOT OF PLANNING.

SO THEY DID IT.

THANK YOU, GUYS. ANYTHING ELSE ON WINTER STORM? ANYBODY FROM THE DIRECTORS? OK, LET'S MOVE ON. RECREATION, NUMBER THREE, DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON ANGLETON

[3. Discussion and possible action on Angleton Recreation Center aquatic area door replacement bids.]

MS. [INAUDIBLE]. GOOD EVENING.

OK, SO CITY STAFF HAS COMPLETED THE BID PROCESS TO SECURE THE LOWEST BID FOR THE GUARANTEE OF WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIAL FOR REPLACING THE DOORS IN THE RECREATION CENTERS AQUATIC AREA. AND THIS PROJECT SHALL INCLUDE THE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF THREE SETS OF EMERGENCY EXIT DOORS AND TWO SINGLE ACCESS DOORS TO A GARAGE SEATING AREA.

SO IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE RECREATION CENTER, NOT THE ENTRY, BUT TO THE EAST, THE WEST, THE BACK THAT LEADS OUT TO THE PARTY PAD AREA AND THEN ALSO TO THE IF YOU'RE LOOKING IN THE LEFT, THE GARAGE AREA, THERE ARE TWO ACCESS ENTRY SINGLE DOORS.

A TOTAL OF TWO BIDS WERE RECEIVED AND BIDS RANGE IN PRICE FROM FORTY TWO THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY TWO DOLLARS TO FIFTY ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE DOLLARS AND EIGHTY CENTS FOR THE TOTAL PROJECT.

LORRAINE CONSTRUCTION OFFERED AN ALTERNATIVE TO DO ONLY TWO SETS OF DOORS AND TWO SINGLE DOORS THAT CAME IN AT TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOUR DOLLARS AND NINETY THREE CENTS. AND THEY ALSO SUBMITTED A BID TO CREATE A CONCRETE PAD FOR ADA COMPLIANCE OUTSIDE THE EAST SET OF DOUBLE DOORS BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S A DROP OFF.

THIS BID WAS FOR FOUR THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED SIXTY FOUR DOLLARS AND 20 CENTS ON THAT PAD ALONE.

THE LOWEST BID WITH BEST GUARANTEE AND COVERED THE FULL PROJECT WAS FROM NABCO.

ANOTHER COMPANY WAS CONTACTED THAT SHOWED INTEREST IN BIDDING FOR THE PROJECT, BUT THEY DID NOT GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH STAFF, EITHER THROUGH EMAIL OR BY PHONE CALL.

SO AN ADDENDUM WAS ISSUED EXTENDING THE DATE TO SUBMIT THE BIDS BECAUSE THE CITY UTILIZED PURCHASING COOPERATIVES TO OBTAIN TURNKEY PRICING.

BUT FORMAL BID WAS NOT REQUIRED.

HOWEVER, THE PROCESS WAS CONDUCTED WITH FORMAL BIDDING PRACTICES TO OBTAIN THE MOST COMPETITIVE PRICING AND PRODUCT GUARANTEE.

SO STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO ABLC IS TO APPROVE THE BID FROM NABCO AND AUTHORIZE CITY STAFF TO PROCEED WITH CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION ON THE RECREATION CENTER POOL DOORS.

FUNDING WISE, IT IS COMING FROM OUR CONTINGENCY THAT WE HAVE.

SO FOR THIS YES, THIS ONE'S FORTY TWO THOUSAND FOUR EIGHTY TWO IS COMING FROM THE RECREATION CONTINGENCY.

[INAUDIBLE], ISN'T THIS THE SAME COMPANY THAT DID THE ENTRY DOOR.

YES, MA'AM. SO WE HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THESE PEOPLE, TOO.

YES, MA'AM. AND I WILL SAY JUST FROM ANY ISSUES THAT WE HAD, LIKE LITTLE THIS AND THAT AS TO GETTING THE DOORS PERFECT, THEY ARE YOU CALL THEM AND THEY ARE OUT THE NEXT DAY, EVEN WITH WEEKENDS. THEY I'VE ALSO DONE THE DOORS TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL.

WONDERFUL. SO I HAVE A QUESTION-- CAN YOU EXPLAIN. FORTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS, FIFTY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THREE DOOR

[00:15:05]

SO THERE IS THAT.

I HAD TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT THAT'S IN THAT POOL AREA, BECAUSE THE OTHER DOORS, THE LOCKS HAVE CORRODED.

IT ALSO INCLUDES TWO SINGLE ENTRY DOORS INTO THE GARAGE AREA THAT CURRENTLY DO NOT OPEN AT ALL. AND SO THAT WAS ONE THING THAT I HAD MENTIONED TO THEM ON WHAT I WANTED THAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IN THE FUTURE.

SO THAT IS THREE SETS OF DOORS, DOUBLE DOORS AND THEN TWO SINGLE DOORS AND THEN THE INSTALLATION LABOR AMONGST THAT.

I NOTICED ON A LOT OF THE BIDS NOT TO GET AHEAD OF ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE BID BOND AND THE PAYMENT BOND. I KNOW, LIKE IN SOME OF THOSE CASES, THEY'RE LIKE ROLLED ALL TOGETHER IN THE LUMP SUM, BOTH OF THOSE ARE PRETTY MUCH IN THAT, BUT WITH THE BOND, ANY OF THE COMPANIES LIKE THIS COMPANY, DO THEY HAVE A TENDENCY TO, LIKE, JUST FOOT THE BOND THEMSELVES OR ARE WE ALWAYS CHARGE FOR THE BOND AMOUNT FOR THE BID BOND AND THE PAYMENT BOND? WE TALKED ABOUT THIS RECENTLY.

WE ACTUALLY JUST TALKED ABOUT THAT THIS MORNING.

SO, FROM OUR EXPERIENCE WITH THESE COMPANIES, THE TWO THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, BELIEVE IT'S LORRAINE WITH THE SLIDE AND THEN ALSO NABCO WITH THE DOORS.

THEY HAVE FOOT THE BILL ON THAT FOR THE BID BOND.

DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

WELL, SO WHEN THEY DID THE ACTUAL BID AND THE BID IS LIKE THIRTY NINE, NINE EIGHTY TWO.

AND THEN THE TOTAL BE IT IS FORTY TWO THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED.

MY APOLOGIES, LIKE SHE SAID, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS THIS MORNING AND I HAVE RECENTLY SO MY SALES REPRESENTED HAS CHANGED BECAUSE HE'S MOVED UP IN THE COMPANY.

SO MY NEW REPRESENTATIVE JUST ACTUALLY SENT US ANOTHER QUOTE TO GET THE CONTRACT TOGETHER SO THAT WE DIDN'T CHANGE THE QUOTE [INAUDIBLE] DOES THE CONTRACT.

AND SO WHAT HE HAS ACTUALLY GIVEN US IS THE THIRTY NINE NINE EIGHTY TWO.

SO THAT BID BOND, THEY ARE FOOTING IT.

GREAT. SORRY. I AM SO SORRY ABOUT.

SO NOW YES IT'LL BE THIRTY NINE, NINE EIGHTY TWO.

SO EVEN A BETTER PRICE.

WHAT WAS THE CONTINGENCY AGAIN? I FORGET HOW MUCH WE-- I BELIEVE IT'S ABOUT THREE HUNDRED AND ONE THOUSAND. SO LET ME CLARIFY THAT.

YOU MAY SEE IT ON YOUR STATEMENT THAT WE ARE HITTING THE CONTINGENCY LINE ITEM BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT BUDGETED PURCHASES.

WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THESE PURCHASES BECAUSE WE HAD A FUND BALANCE AND RECREATION OF OVER THREE HUNDRED AND ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

SO RATHER THAN COMING TO ABLC ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS, WE'RE USING THE REC CENTER FUND BALANCE, WHICH WERE ORIGINALLY ABLC FUNDS ANYWAYS BUDGETED.

BUT SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS YOU'LL SEE AN OVERAGE, I THINK WE HAD, LET ME TRY TO GET TO THAT SHEET [INAUDIBLE], I THINK IT WAS WE ORIGINALLY BUDGETED CONTINGENCY AROUND TEN THOUSAND. AND SO WE'RE HITTING THAT LINE ITEM BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO DO A MID-YEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENT TO MOVE THOSE FUNDS THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING WITH YOU THIS EVENING.

SO WHAT'S ALREADY IN THE 108? THE REC CENTER ROOF IS CURRENTLY THAT'S THE 108 THAT YOU SEE.

THAT PROJECT WAS, I BELIEVE, TWO HUNDRED SEVENTEEN THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN.

AND MY REC UPDATES, I'LL TELL YOU, WE'RE FINISHED WITH THAT PROJECT.

WE JUST HAVE TO DO THE FINAL INSPECTION TO GET THEM THAT FINAL PAYMENT.

SUPER. OK, OK, THANK YOU.

SO SEGUEING OFF OF ELLEN'S, THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION, BECAUSE I ASSUMED IT WAS THE BIG GARAGE DOOR THINGS BECAUSE I SAW THE AMOUNT, I'M LIKE, OH, GOOD, WE'RE GETTING A NEW ONE OF THOSE.

SO IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH THE SIZE OF THE GLASS, THE IMPACT, RESISTANCE OF THE GLASS AND THEN THE SPECIAL KIND OF METAL SO IT DOESN'T CORRODE? YES, MA'AM. OK.

AND APPARENTLY THE SERVICE THEY OFFER TO BE ABLE TO COME.

YEAH, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE FRONT DOORS.

YEAH, THAT ONE WAS-- I CAN'T REMEMBER, BUT I REMEMBER THESE PEOPLE FROM THAT-- THE FRONT DOORS ALONE, THE TWO SETS, THAT WAS TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND FOR THOSE AUTOMATIC DOORS. ARE THESE GOING TO BE AUTOMATIC OR JUST--

[00:20:04]

THAT'S A DIFFERENT PROJECT. OKAY, DON'T WANT PEOPLE AUTOMATICALLY OPENING-- DOES THE PRICE INCLUDE, AM I UNDERSTANDING THAT IT ALSO INCLUDES THE ADA-- IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE CONCRETE PAD.

THAT WAS A DIFFERENT QUOTE.

I THINK WE'VE LOOKED AT TALKING ABOUT IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO INTERNALLY OR GOING OUT FOR ANOTHER CONTRACT BID FOR THAT.

THE OTHER THING THAT I SHOULD NOTE IS THAT WE ARE COMPLIANT WITH ADA BECAUSE WE MEET THE REQUIREMENTS AS IS WITH I BELIEVE IT'S THE EXTERIOR ONE TO THE PARTY PAD.

AND SO THAT WAS THE REQUIREMENT.

WE WOULD LOVE FOR ALL OF THE EXITS TO HAVE THAT ACCESSIBILITY.

BUT WE DO AT LEAST HAVE MINIMALLY ONE.

THE WEST SIDE, AS YOU WALK IN, THAT ONE IS LEVEL WITH GROUND, SO WHY THEY WERE MADE DIFFERENTLY, I AM NOT SURE, BUT THAT ONE IS LEVEL WITH GROUND.

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE DOORS AT THE REC CENTER.

[CHUCKLING] DIRECTORS, WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE? I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THE BID AS PROPOSED WITH NABCO FOR THE FORTY TWO THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO DOLLARS.

THOUGHT IT WAS THIRTY NINE. OH SORRY.

YES, THIRTY NINE NINE EIGHTY TWO.

WELL, NOW THEY HAVE IN THE INFORMATION YOU SENT US, WE'VE GOT THE BOND.

SO ARE THEY NOT CHARGING THE BOND? NO. OH OK.

[INAUDIBLE] DISCOUNT. OH MARVELOUS.

I SECOND. MOTION BY DIRECTOR ROGER SECONDED BY DIRECTOR PELTIER.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? YES. GO AHEAD, SIR. ON THE BIDS, WHERE ARE WE ADVERTISING THOSE BIDS? ON OUR WEB SITE ONLY AND IN THE FACTS? WHERE ALL DO WE BID? SO WE ADVERTISE IN THE FACTS WE POSTED ONLINE AND THEN WE REACH OUT TO IF WE KNOW OF VENDORS ALREADY THAT WE'VE SPOKEN TO.

BUT THEN WE ALSO THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR, I THINK LINDSAY WAS HELPING US WITH THIS PROJECT AND IT WAS ADVERTISING CHOICE PARTNERS.

CHOICE PARTNERS, THE PUBLICATION? IT'S A GOVERNMENT COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT.

THEY'VE ALREADY GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF COMPETITIVE IT'S LIKE BY BOARD OR HEAC.

OK, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

[4. Discussion and possible action on Angleton Recreation Center aquatic area slide repair bid.]

SAME SIGN. THAT MOTION CARRIES.

ITEM NUMBER FOR DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER AQUATIC AREA SLIDE REPAIR BID.

SO WE COMPLETED A BID PROCESS TO SECURE LOWEST PRICING AND BEST GUARANTEE OF WORKMANSHIP MATERIALS FOR REPAIRS OF THE LARGE SLIDE AT THE RECREATION CENTER AQUATIC AREA.

THIS PROJECT CAME ABOUT AFTER THE AQUATIC AREA, WE HAD OUR ANNUAL INSPECTION AND WITH TML ON JUNE 9TH OF 2020 AND UPON INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE REPRESENTATIVES SAW SIGNIFICANT RUST AND OXIDATION AND METAL DETERIORATION WAS IDENTIFIED ON THE STRUCTURE.

ON UNDER THE ARM SUPPORTS BOLT ASSEMBLIES AND BRACKETS, THE RUST IS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT METAL IS FLAKING AND CHIPPING OFF, CREATING POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERNS.

THE INTEGRITY OF THE STRUCTURE, INCLUDING DEEP RUST ON THE COLUMN BASE AND SUPPORT BRACKETS IS POTENTIALLY COMPROMISED AND NEEDS TO BE PROFESSIONALLY EVALUATED.

AS A RESULT, STAFF CLOSED THE SLIDE ON JUNE 9TH OF 2020 AND HAD BEEN ADVISED BY TEXAS AMUSEMENTS AND TML THAT IT MAY NOT REOPEN UNDER THE LIABILITY THAT HAD BEEN ADDRESSED UNTIL RE-INSPECTED.

AND AFTER PROFESSIONAL EVALUATION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BRACES AND SUPPORT ARMS NEED TO BE REPLACED TO BRING THE SLIDE UP TO CODE FOR REOPENING.

THE PROJECT SHALL INCLUDE TWELVE STILL SUPPORT ARMS AND TWENTY FOUR STEEL BRACE SUPPORTS.

WE RECEIVED ONE BID FROM LORRAINE CONSTRUCTION AND THAT BID CAME IN AT A TOTAL OF FIFTY NINE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THREE DOLLARS AND SEVENTY CENTS FOR REPAIRS FOR THE RECREATION CENTER AQUATIC LARGE SLIDE.

AND JUST NOTE THAT CURRENTLY THAT SLIDE IS STILL CLOSED.

WE ARE PLANNING TO USE THE RECREATION FUND BALANCE THAT WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING TO COVER THE COST. IT ISN'T ENOUGH, SO WE HAVE LOOKED AT OUR CURRENT FUNDS WITHIN THE RECREATION CENTER'S BUDGET AND THEN WE HAVE MONEY IN OUR POOL MAINTENANCE TO COVER IT.

THAT WILL HELP WITH COVER THOSE COSTS, WHATEVER WE CANNOT COVER IN THE FUND BALANCE OR THE CONTINGENCY. SORRY. SO RECOMMENDATION IS STAFF RECOMMENDS ABLC APPROVE THE BID FROM LORRAINE CONSTRUCTION AND AUTHORIZE CITY STAFF TO PROCEED WITH CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION.

[00:25:02]

WAS IT COVID AND THINGS BEING CLOSED WHY WE DIDN'T PURSUE DOING THIS SOONER OR WERE WE WAITING ON MORE BIDS, OR? SO WE WENT OUT FOR BID AND WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY DURING THE FORMAL PROCESS.

SO LORRAINE CONSTRUCTION HAD COME OUT TO LOOK AT IT.

SO I HAD GOTTEN BACK WITH THEM BECAUSE WE TALKED TO SOME OTHER VENDORS AS WELL AND A LOT OF AREA OR HOUSTON, IT WAS I DON'T DO THAT KIND OF WORK OR IS TOO BIG OF A PROJECT.

AND SO WE GOT WITH LORRAINE CONSTRUCTION AGAIN, REALLY JUST LIKE THEY CAME OUT, THEY DID THE INSPECTION AND THAT'S WHY.

AND THEN ALSO WITH GETTING IT APPROVED, I BELIEVE BECAUSE OF WINTER STORM, WE HAD TO DELAY THE ABLC MEETING.

IT WAS ALSO A LOT OF PROCESS OF WHEN HE DECIDED TO CLOSE IT IN JUNE.

BUT GETTING IT, WE GOT AN ENGINEER TO COME OUT AND DO A REVIEW ON IT BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT SORRY, TEXAS AMUSEMENTS WOULDN'T DEEM IT, THEY WANTED US TO SAY, OK, THIS IS CAN YOU OPEN IT OR CAN YOU NOT? AND AFTER THAT ENGINEER REVIEW, THEY'RE LIKE, HEY, NO, YOU CAN'T OPEN IT. I KNOW, I JUST YEAH, PUBLIC GETTING SOMETHING DONE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN OTHER WAYS. I JUST WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE TEN MONTH PERIOD.

IT'S TOUGH TO GO ON THIS WITH JUST ONLY ONE BID, THOUGH.

SO JUST THE EXPERIENCE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE AND I'M SURE YOU'VE DONE YOUR DUE DILIGENCE ON TRYING TO FIND IF THIS IS A FAIR MARKET PRICE FOR THIS.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE FAIRNESS OF THE PRICE FOR FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS PLUS? FIFTY NINE, ALMOST 60, RIGHT? YEAH, 59, CLOSE TO 60 WE REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO REFERENCE, I WILL TELL YOU, WE SPOKE WITH LORRAINE PRIOR TO EVEN GOING OUT TO BID AND THEIR BID OR THEIR PROPOSAL DIDN'T CHANGE MUCH. THEY DIDN'T SUBMIT ANYTHING DURING THE FORMAL PROCESS.

BUT AGAIN, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER BIDDERS.

SO I CANNOT CONFIDENTLY SAY THIS IS COMPETITIVE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A COMPARISON.

BUT I WILL SAY THAT THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE FACILITY, THIS IS A LARGE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S DONE RIGHT.

AND I BELIEVE WITH LORRAINE BEING ONE OF OUR MORE LOCAL REPUTABLE COMPANIES THAT WE CAN RELY ON GOOD WORK BEING DONE.

SO THE EXPERIENCE WITH THE LORRAINE SO FAR, WE DON'T THINK WE'VE BEEN PRETTY MUCH OVERPRICED BY USING LORRAINE IN THE PAST.

THEY'VE BEEN PRETTY FAIR WITH US AS FAR AS PRICE? AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND, YES, AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE DONE WORK IN THE AREA. I WANT TO SAY THAT THEY WAS IT THE BAPTIST CHURCH? YES, THEY DID.

THEY'VE DONE A LOT OF BIG MUNICIPAL PROJECTS.

THEY'RE WELL KNOWN AND THEY'VE BEEN PRETTY FAIR AND THEY'RE IN OUR BACKYARD, DR.

BROWN. SO I THINK THEY WOULD PROBABLY TREAT US PRETTY, PRETTY WELL DOWN HERE BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST DOWN THE STREET. THEY'RE ALL--AND HE LIVES AROUND THE CORNER FROM YOU.

OH, HE DOES. [LAUGHTER] SO IF WE HAVE A PROBLEM, WE'RE GOING TO SEND DR.

JACKSON OVER TO HAVE A VISIT. THERE WE GO.

AND ALSO, LIKE WITH THE DOORS, THE PROJECT MANAGER AT THE TIME, LINDSAY WAS HELPING US OUT. AND SHE ALSO SENT THIS OUT TO CHOICE PARTNERS AS WELL.

AND SHE DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY FEEDBACK ON THAT.

I WANT TO SAY THIS SLIDE HAS BEEN CLOSED LONGER THAN JUNE 9TH OF '20.

I HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE REC CENTER POOL IN OVER A YEAR AND IT WAS CLOSED THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE.

I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE BID FOR THE AQUATIC SLIDE AREA REPAIR AS GIVEN.

SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY DIRECTOR EBY.

WAS THAT YOU, JOHN?HABE A SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM WRIGHT.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.

HEARING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE: AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAME SIGN.

THAT MOTION CARRIES.

ALL RIGHT. GREAT. THANK YOU.

WE'LL FLIP BACK UP TO THE ITEM NUMBER FIVE DISCUSSION ON RECREATION DIVISION UPDATES.

[5. Discussion on Recreation Division updates.]

WE HAD ACTUALLY WANTED TO START THE WEEK BEFORE BUT THAT WAS WINTER STORM.

SO WERE, WE HAD A DELAY.

THEY HAVE PROVIDED STAFF WITH PROGRESS PHOTOS THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT.

AND SO WHEN WE MADE THIS AS OF 3/31, THEY WERE 80 PERCENT COMPLETE.

THEY ARE NOW COMPLETE WITH THE PROJECT.

SO WE ARE JUST WAITING FOR THEM TO GET THEIR INSPECTION DONE, FOR IT TO BE COMPLETE.

WE HAVEN'T STARTED CHANGING OUT CEILING TILES YET.

THAT'S MY NEXT ONE, IS TO START CHANGING CEILING TILES.

[00:30:01]

SO AS SOON AS THEY GIVE ME THE OK, I WILL START CHANGING OUT CEILING TILES.

PARTICIPATION SURVEY, SO STAFF PUT OUT A SURVEY ON PARTICIPATION AT THE REQUEST OF ABLC TO SEE WHAT IS KEEPING PARTICIPANTS, PARTICULARLY SENIORS, FROM PARTICIPATING AND WHAT STAFF CAN DO TO MAKE THEM COMFORTABLE COME BACK.

FEEDBACK FROM THE SURVEY SHOWED PARTICIPANTS WERE UNAWARE OF PROGRAMS THAT HAVE RETURNED WITH THE COVID PROTOCOLS, WHILE OTHERS HAD CONCERNS WITH MASK WEARING IN THE WEIGHT ROOM.

STAFF, WE'RE WORKING ON ADVERTISING AND OUTREACH METHODS FOR SENIORS IN REGARDS TO PARTICIPATION. BUT AS OF THE MARCH 10TH REMOVAL OF GOVERNOR, WHEN WE OPENED BACK UP WITH THE REMOVAL OF GOVERNOR ABBOTT'S MANDATES AND COUNCIL APPROVAL, WE OPENED BACK UP TO A HUNDRED PERCENT CAPACITY IN ALL AREAS.

AND I WILL TELL YOU, WE HAVE HAD INCREASED PARTICIPATION.

SO OUR SENIOR COMMISSION HAS ALSO BEEN ADOPTED A STRATEGIC PLAN ON HOW TO OUTREACH TO SENIORS. WE STARTED MAILING OUT LETTERS, NEWSLETTERS WE HAVE SEEN, OUR BINGO HAS GONE FROM THREE PARTICIPANTS TO NOW WE HAD LAST WEEK, I BELIEVE, EIGHT OR NINE PARTICIPANTS IN BINGO. SO WITH THAT, WE ARE LOOKING AT SLOWLY GETTING BACK IN WITH VACCINATIONS BEING AVAILABLE, HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT SEPTEMBER, NO JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, STARTING BACK LUNCH BUNCHES AND POSSIBLY TRIPS WITH SENIORS.

SO WE ARE SEEING ACTIVE PARTICIPATION BACK IN ALL AREAS.

YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL UPDATE COUNCIL APPROVED THE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ON 3/9/2021 TO APPOINT A YOUTH MEMBER TO THE PARKS BOARD.

SO WE ARE UPDATING THE APPLICATION PROCESS.

EVENTS AND PROGRAMS, PARTICIPATION RECREATION PROGRAMS, LIKE I SAID, IS STARTING TO PICK UP.

WITH MORE VACCINATION OPPORTUNITIES AND REMOVAL OF MANDATES, WE ARE SEEING MORE FOLKS PARTICIPATING, AS WE SAID, AND BINGO, COFFEE AND CHAT, REGISTRATION FOR SUMMER JAMBOREE AND JUNIOR ANGLER.

WE ALSO HOSTED THIS PAST WEEKEND OUR INAUGURAL BRUNCH DISC GOLF TOURNAMENT, ON SATURDAY.

WE HAD A BOUNCE HOUSE, ACOUSTIC ENTERTAINMENT, A COUPLE OF FOOD TRUCKS.

WE HAD TWENTY SEVEN PARTICIPANTS IN THAT DISC GOLF TOURNAMENT.

IT WAS VERY COLD, BUT THEY STILL CAME OUT AND HAD A GREAT TIME.

THEY PROVIDED US SOME FEEDBACK ALREADY ON WHAT WE CAN DO FOR THE NEXT ONE.

SO WE'RE HOPING THAT WE CAN HOST ANOTHER DISC GOLF TOURNAMENT WITHIN THE YEAR OR IF NOT, HOPEFULLY WITHIN BY NEXT SPRING OR SO.

ANY QUESTIONS ON RECREATION UPDATE? NO, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE TIME, BUT I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL MEETINGS RECENTLY AND YOU GUYS ARE ROCKING IT.

YOU ARE WORKING SO HARD AND I AM TOTALLY IMPRESSED AT EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE DOING BECAUSE THIS LIST, NONE OF THESE ARE SIMPLE.

AND THEN WHEN YOU THROW IN A FEW EVENTS THAT YOU'RE HOSTING AND TENDING TO THE DETAILS OF THAT AS WELL. I'D JUST LIKE TO RECOGNIZE YOUR HARD WORK.

THANK YOU, I'LL BE HAPPY TO SHARE THAT WITH OUR STAFF.

THANK YOU. I SECOND THAT.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE A FULL OR PARTIAL RETURN TO THE VARIOUS CLASSES THAT WERE BEING OFFERED AT THE REC CENTER? HOW DOES THAT ROLL OUT? SO I WILL SAY LIKE--JUST PARTICIPATION AND FITNESS CLASSES? RIGHT. SO I WILL SAY ONCE MASKS MANDATES UPLIFTED AND ALSO VACCINATIONS, OUR NIGHTTIME AQUA FITNESS CLASS, OR OUR MORNING AQUA FITNESS CLASS WENT FROM LIKE FOUR PEOPLE TO NOW ABOUT TWELVE PEOPLE IN THAT CLASS.

OUR MORNING YOGA WENT FROM ABOUT SIX PEOPLE TO NOW WE'RE ABOUT 15 TO 16 INDIVIDUALS IN YOGA IN THE MORNING. SO, WE'RE TRYING NOT TO MAX OUT TOO MUCH OUR INSTRUCTORS, BUT WE ARE TRYING TO MAX OUT AS BEST AS POSSIBLE WITH OUR FITNESS CLASSES.

SO, I BELIEVE FROM WHAT OUR BUDGET SAID, WE ARE MAXED OUT WHERE WE'RE AT, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR USE OF OUR INSTRUCTORS.

OK, AND SO LOOKING FORWARD AS YOU TRY TO FORECAST WHAT HAPPENS AS PEOPLE GET MORE COMFORTABLE, PEOPLE HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SECOND ONE AND THEY'RE FEELING BETTER ABOUT GETTING OUT AND ABOUT WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

ARE THERE SOME CLASSES THAT HISTORICALLY WE'VE HAD THAT WE'RE BEING PARTICIPATED WITH THAT HAVEN'T COME BACK THAT WE'RE PLANNING TO BRING ON OR WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THAT? SO WE CURRENTLY WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR BUDGET AS WELL.

WE COULD GO BACK, LOOKING AT OUR POUND CLASS, WE HAVEN'T OFFERED POUND.

THAT WAS WITH THE DRUMSTICKS.

WE CAN LOOK AT BRINGING THAT BACK, BUT ALSO LOOKING AT WHAT OUR INSTRUCTORS, OUR REC

[00:35:07]

I WILL SAY IF ANYBODY KNOWS A PERSON THAT TEACHES SOMETHING IN FITNESS, IT'D BE FANTASTIC TO REACH OUT TO US BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A MINIMAL LIST ON WHAT INSTRUCTORS THAT WE DO HAVE.

BUT IF Y'ALL KNOW ANYBODY, PLEASE, I MEAN, WE'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO--OUR MEMBERS HAVE ASKED FOR MORE CLASSES AS WELL.

I WAS WONDERING HOW YOU GOT KIND OF THAT BALANCE, DO PEOPLE COME AND ASK WHEN ARE WE DOING X. WHEN ARE WE DOING Y OR WHAT ABOUT THAT? YES, BECAUSE THEY WANT ANOTHER 9:30 A.M.

OR NINE O'CLOCK CLASS, BUT WE OFFER CURRENTLY AN EIGHT THIRTY TO NINE THIRTY CLASS.

SO IT WOULD BE LIKE RIGHT RIGHT THERE.

BUT WE LOOK AT OUR NIGHTTIME CLASSES, WE LOOK AT OUR MORNING CLASSES.

BUT AGAIN, OUR INSTRUCTOR AVAILABILITY RIGHT NOW IS A LITTLE SHORT.

BUT IF YOU ALL KNOW ANYBODY, PLEASE SEND THEM OUR WAY BECAUSE OUR MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING NEW.

AND I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WHEN WE DECIDED--THANK YOU, MEGAN, FOR BUYING THE CURTAIN, THE CURTAIN TO DIVIDE THAT VERY LARGE GYM SO WE CAN USE THE GYM FOR MULTIPLE THINGS.

ARE WE ABLE TO DO THAT? OH, YEAH, DEFINITELY.

AND WE HAVE ACTUALLY WORKING WITH STAFF, WE WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP THE GYM OPEN DURING THE SUMMER FOR SUMMER JAMBOREE WITH THAT CURTAIN THERE.

SO THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE SUMMER JAMBOREE CAMP ON ONE SIDE OF THE CURTAIN AND THEN KEEP IT BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN IN OUR YOUTH MEMBERSHIPS.

AND SO HAVING THAT AVAILABLE FOR KIDS TO BE ABLE TO COME AND PLAY DURING THE SUMMERTIME, WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU.

ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, MS. [INAUDIBLE]. MOVING RIGHT ALONG, NUMBER SIX, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON

[6. Discussion and possible action on Recreation Center renovations and expansion]

YES. SO THIS WAS AN ITEM THAT CHRIS PELTIER HAD SPOKEN TO ME ABOUT BEFORE THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MEETING LAST WEEK OR IN PREPARATION FOR THAT MEETING.

WE DID DISCUSS THIS WITH THE PARKS RECREATION BOARD AS WELL.

SO RENOVATION AND EXPANSION OF THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER IS A LONG TERM STRATEGIC ACTION ITEM IN OUR MASTER AND STRATEGIC PLAN FOR PARKS AND RECREATION.

HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN BEGIN LOOKING AT, AND EVEN, FOR INSTANCE, LIKE WE DISCUSSED FOR THE CARES REIMBURSEMENT, WE'RE LOOKING AT BACKUP GENERATORS, JUST ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT COULD HELP WITH OVERALL USE OF THAT FACILITY, ESPECIALLY IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.

BUT THERE ARE ALSO SOME OTHER IDEAS AND CONCEPTS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED AS A STAFF THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO OPEN UP TO YOU ALL AS WELL.

THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HELP US BRING IN SOME ADDITIONAL REVENUE FOR THE REC CENTER.

ONE OF THOSE IS REPURPOSING THE FRONT PLAZA AREA.

ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE THERE AND AGAIN, MANY OF US HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS IS WHEN YOU APPROACH THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT AREA REALLY EXISTS.

AND IT'S UNDER-PROGRAMMED, MEANING IT DOESN'T HAVE AMENITIES THAT REALLY INVITE THE PUBLIC TO USE IT. SO WE HAVE SOME PLANNED LANDSCAPE THERE.

WE HAVE RECENTLY ADDED SOME PICNIC TABLES AND UMBRELLAS SO THAT IT CAN BE UTILIZED EITHER BY PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST COMING IN THE SUMMER WITH DAY CAMPS AND OR WANT TO TAKE A BREAK FOR LUNCH. AND SO SOME THINGS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ARE REMOVING THE CINDER BLOCK WALL AND THAT AREA SO THAT IT IS ACTUALLY VISIBLE AND PUT SOME ADDITIONAL SEATING UMBRELLAS AND PROGRAM IT WITH [INAUDIBLE] AND I HAVE LOOKED AT CONCRETE AMENITIES LIKE CORNHOLE, PING PONG. THEY WOULD COME INTO THE FACILITY TO REQUEST THOSE ITEMS. BUT THEN YOU CAN ALSO UTILIZE IT AS A RENTAL FACILITY FOR BIRTHDAY PARTIES OR OTHER TYPES OF EVENTS. WE HAVE LOOKED INTO STRAND LIGHTING SO THAT IT CREATES MORE OF AN AMBIANCE AND MAKES IT MORE INVITING.

AND SO THOSE ARE SOME THINGS THAT COULD BE EASY WINS AND FIXES FOR THAT AREA THAT COULD ALSO BE REVENUE GENERATING FOR US.

SOME OTHER ITEMS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT ARE JUST HAVING A WALKING PATH.

IF YOU LOOK AT OUR MASTER AND STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THAT AREA IN PARTICULAR ALONG VALDERAS.

IT'S A LOST OPPORTUNITY, IS WHAT I'LL SAY, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE PROGRAMMED OR PLANNED ELEMENTS OUTSIDE, THEY'RE ALL INSIDE THE FACILITY.

IT'S NOT CONSIDERED A LOCAL PARK.

AND SO WE'RE MISSING THAT.

THAT'S IN A HIGHLY RESIDENTIAL AREA.

AND SO THE NATIONAL STANDARD IS TYPICALLY OR IS A 10 MINUTE WALK TO A PARK.

SO RESIDENTS IN THAT AREA, THEY HAVE TO GO TO FREEDOM OR BRUSHY BAYOU OR THEY'RE GOING TO OTHER PARTS OF TOWN GETTING IN THEIR VEHICLE RATHER THAN WALKING.

AND SO ACTUALLY PROGRAMING OUTDOOR AMENITIES, WE COULD CLASSIFY THAT AND HIT AN UNDERSERVED AREA.

SO THOSE ARE SOME IDEAS AND CONCEPTS THAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING WITH STAFF.

[00:40:02]

AND SO WE'VE MENTIONED SOME OF THOSE THINGS HERE IN YOUR SUMMARY AND JUST WANT TO OPEN UP FOR CONVERSATION.

ONE OF THE REASONS I BROUGHT IT UP, IT KIND OF CAME UP, I THINK [INAUDIBLE] ALLUDED TO IT BACK WHEN YOU AND [INAUDIBLE] WERE TALKING ABOUT A SAUNA AND SOMETHING YOU SAID ABOUT NEW FACILITIES OR NEW AMENITIES.

WE CAN TRACK POSSIBLY NEW CUSTOMERS, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING NOW ABOUT FREEDOM PARK, ABOUT SPLASH PADS, ABOUT DOG PARKS, ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS.

BUT THAT BUILDING IS--I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD IT IS NOW, BUT YOU HAVE TO FRESHEN IT UP.

I MEAN, THE POOL AREA LOOKS NICE, BUT I WOULD THINK IF YOU HAD NEW AMENITIES INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, YOU KNOW, HOWEVER IT IS, IT WOULD ATTRACT MORE MEMBERS.

THEY WOULD COME, THEY SEE SOMETHING NEW, THEY'LL BECOME MEMBERS.

AND, YOU KNOW, FOR [INAUDIBLE] THE BUDGET, THE MORE MEMBERS WE HAVE, A LITTLE MORE REVENUE WE BRING IN.

SO IT JUST SEEMED LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIND THOSE THINGS THAT WILL HELP BRING MORE PEOPLE TO THAT. BUT THE OUTSIDE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS ABOUT THE TRAIL, ABOUT FITNESS, AND THEN WITH COVID GOING ON, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE MAYBE MORE COMFORTABLE FOR A LITTLE WHILE BEING OUTSIDE, WHETHER IT'S OUT BY THE PAVILION AREA.

SO IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE A BIG BLANK SLATE WITH THAT OUTDOOR AREA TO DO A WHOLE LOT WITH. ABSOLUTELY, AND SOME OF THE ITEMS MENTIONED HERE, TOO, WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO GET A GRASP OF HOW WE WANT OUR PARK SYSTEM TO LOOK AND JUST GET FEEDBACK FROM THE PUBLIC, YOU ALL AS STAKEHOLDERS, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF UNDEVELOPED AREA, YOU KNOW, WE'VE DEMOLISHED AND WELCH PARK AMENITIES THAT WERE OBSOLETE.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF BLANK SPACES THAT WE'RE REALLY HOPING TO PARKS BOARD JUST RECENTLY.

AND I WANT TO SAY THEIR FEBRUARY MEETING APPROVED A PARTNERSHIP WITH ANGLETON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH CATS ACADEMY IN OUR PEACH DETENTION AREA.

THERE IS A WOODED AREA THAT THEY WANT TO HELP US PROGRAM AND MAINTAIN.

AND SO IT'S A GREAT COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP.

AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO WORK ON THINGS LIKE THAT, PARTNERSHIPS THAT CAN BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE CITY.

AND WE COULD REALLY LOOK AT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE DON'T HAVE AS IT RELATES TO OUR PARK SYSTEM. LIKE SKATE PARK IS ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WAS MENTIONED IN OUR MASTER AND STRATEGIC PLAN. IT'S ACTUALLY A, I BELIEVE IT'S EITHER A MIDTERM OR SHORT TERM GOAL AND THEN ALSO ADDRESSING WATER ACCESSIBILITY IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF TOWN.

OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVE IT INDOORS, BUT ADDRESSING IT OUTDOORS IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT AS WELL.

AND SO YOU COULD DO THAT AT THIS SITE.

WE COULD DO IT AT OTHER SITES; I'M NOT SAYING IT HAS TO BE AT THE SITE, BUT WE NEED TO BEGIN HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS SO THAT WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE OF WHAT WE WANT OUR PARK SYSTEM TO LOOK LIKE.

WE'RE NOT DUPLICATING PARK AMENITIES AND ALL OF OUR PARK SYSTEMS. IS THERE ANY ADVANTAGE TO HAVING A SPLASH PAD? I KNOW THE INFRASTRUCTURE SUCH AS PARKING IS EXPENSIVE, BUT IF YOU WERE TO PUT IT SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO THE REC CENTER VERSUS IN THE NEW SECTION OF FREEDOM PARK OR SOMEWHERE, I KNOW WE HAVE THAT, AND WATER WISE, I KNOW THERE'S A COUPLE OF WAYS, ONE YOU FILTER AND ONE, YOU JUST CONTINUALLY USE. IS THERE A PREFERENCE IN INDUSTRY WHICH WAY YOU DO IT? AND THERE'S EVEN A THIRD SO YOU CAN RECYCLE AND TREAT, YOU CAN LET IT DRAIN AND GO BACK INTO THE WATER SYSTEM OR YOU CAN USE IT AS A IRRIGATION SYSTEM.

AND SO THOSE ARE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES, I WOULD SAY HAVING A UV SYSTEM.

I HATE WASTING, SO I WOULD NOT PROPOSE JUST LETTING IT DRAIN.

I WOULD EITHER DO IDEALLY I WOULD DO IRRIGATION OR SECONDARILY, I WOULD DO A RECIRCULATING SYSTEM BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE THAT WAS.

A RECURRING THEME IN OUR SURVEY, SPLASH PADS ALWAYS COME UP, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE BEST SITE IS, BUT IT'S JUST WE HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE ALREADY THERE.

RIGHT, AND IT COULD BE THERE.

ONE THING THAT I WOULD SAY WITH A SPLASH PAD IS YOU HAVE PEOPLE FROM ALL DIFFERENT SOCIOECONOMIC AREAS AND ONE THING THAT I WOULD HATE TO SAY IS YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A MEMBERSHIP TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PARK AMENITY.

HOWEVER, WHAT YOU COULD DO IF YOU WANTED IT AT THAT SITE, IT WOULD BE A GREAT ATTRACTOR, BUT WHAT YOU WOULD SEE ALMOST 99 PERCENT, 100 PERCENT GUARANTEE YOU IF YOU PUT SHADE STRUCTURES ON THE SITE, THOSE WILL BE RENTED OUT FOR PARTIES ALL THE TIME.

AND YOU SEE THAT IN ALMOST EVERY MUNICIPALITY.

IF YOU HAVE A SPLASH PAD, THAT IS ONE OF THE CHEAPEST WAYS A PARENT CAN HOST A A PARTY.

SO RATHER THAN HAVING A PRIVATE POOL PARTY, NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD TO HAVE A PRIVATE POOL PARTY, BUT THEY CAN GO TO A FREE SPLASH PAD AND RENT A PAVILION FOR THEIR CHILDREN.

AND SO THAT'S HOW I WOULD PROGRAM A SPLASH PAD SPECIFICALLY AT THAT LOCATION.

[00:45:04]

IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT A SPLASH PAD ANYWHERE, WE NEED TO HAVE RENTAL PAVILIONS BESIDE IT.

[INAUDIBLE] HAD A COMMENT.

BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE GET MAXED OUT AT THE RECREATION CENTER ON THE POOL BECAUSE LIFEGUARDS ARE ON DUTY AND ALSO JUST IN GENERAL, JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THERE.

AND WHEN WE GET MAXED OUT, WE HAVE TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY.

SO RATHER SENDING THEM TO ANOTHER CITY RATHER THAN HAVING TO DRIVE MUCH FURTHER, IT WOULD BE SO NICE TO SAY, HEY, WE HAVE A SPLASH PAD ACROSS THE WAY OR THERE'S A SPLASH PAD AT THIS PARK SO I CAN KEEP THEM IN TOWN, BUT I CAN PUT THEM SOMEWHERE THAT'S NICE.

AND LIKE SHE SAID, IF THERE'S A SHADE STRUCTURE, I CAN TELL THEM TOO, HEY, YEAH, WE'RE MAXED OUT OF THE POOL. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WAIT, YOU CAN GO DOWN TO FREEDOM PARK AND THERE'S SHADE STRUCTURE THERE.

SPLASH PAD. YOU CAN HAVE A GREAT TIME THERE.

AND I LIKE THE IDEA OF NOT CHARGING THEM ACCESS FOR THAT.

I MEAN, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS GET PEOPLE IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE IN THE REC CENTER BUT BE CLOSE TO IT, THEN MAYBE THEY'LL WANT TO HAVE A DAY PASS TO GO SWIM IN THE POOL OR HAVE A DAY PASS TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.

BUT HAVING THE OUTSIDE THINGS FREE TO THE RESIDENTS MAKES SENSE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE'VE GOT TO DO THIS.

LET ME JUST SAY I LOVE IT WHEN WE GET TO DO THIS, BECAUSE Y'ALL DO THIS ALL THE TIME AND YOU'VE GOT YOUR MIND PROGRAMMED AND WE'VE GOT THINGS WE'RE LIKE, WOULDN'T IT BE NICE? BUT THE TWO THINGS GOT TO KIND OF MESH UP.

SO WHAT I'M HEARING AND I'M ABOUT I ALWAYS THINK IN TERMS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE IT'S HOW GOD MADE ME. OK, SO IF WE GET TO COUNT THE REC CENTER AS A PARK, ALL WE GOTTA DO IS PUT AN OUTSIDE TRAIL AND WE'RE COUNTING IT, RIGHT? YEAH, WE JUST NEED OUTSIDE AMENITIES.

WHAT'S THE CHEAPEST THING TO MAKE? IS IT NOT JUST AN OUTSIDE TRAIL OF SOME SORT? YES, IT COULD BE.

YES, SEE YOU ALWAYS ANALYZE IT BECAUSE YOU DO WHAT YOU DO WELL, BUT, SOMETIMES IF WE TAKE A YEAR TO ANALYZE, TO DECIDE TO DO AND I'M NOT SAYING ASKING PEOPLE THEIR OPINION IS NOT IMPORTANT. THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING.

BUT SOMETIMES WE CAN PUT SOMETHING OUT THERE.

WE'VE ADDED SOMETHING NEW.

WE'VE GOT A LITTLE PIZZAZZ.

WE PUT SOME LIGHTS THAT YOU TURN ON AT NIGHT OUT IN THAT NEW LITTLE COURTYARD AND PEOPLE DRIVE BY. THEY COME TO THE REC CENTER.

ANYBODY, THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME IN AND PAY TO USE THE OUTDOOR TRACK, DO THEY? NO WE'RE NOT GOING TO PUT A FENCE AROUND IT, RIGHT? RIGHT. OK, SO WE'VE OFFERED SOMETHING TO THE COMMUNITY THAT THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE TO PAY FOR. WE'VE GOT SOME LIGHTS BECAUSE WE'VE UPGRADED THE THING OUT THERE AND WE DON'T HAVE TO STUDY IT FOR A YEAR TO DO SOMETHING SO THAT PEOPLE SAY, I SAW WHAT THEY DID.

NO OFFENSE, I KNOW WE'RE DOING SOME POWERFUL, MEANINGFUL, REALLY GOOD STUFF.

SO THOSE THINGS ARE GREAT, BUT IT'S BEEN FOREVER SINCE WE'VE DONE ANYTHING THAT ANYBODY'S BEEN ABLE TO SEE. PARALYSIS THROUGH ANALYSIS.

YEAH, EXACTLY.

THAT'S AN ACTUAL THING THAT HAPPENS.

IT HAPPENS A LOT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU PUT MONEY TO A STUDY WITHOUT BACKING UP THE ACTIONS. I'M NOT SAYING LET'S DON'T, BUT WE USED TO MAKE PLANS HERE AT ABLC THAT WE SPENT OUR MONEY, OK? WE SPENT THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DESIGNATE AND WE'VE ALWAYS HAD THE ABILITY TO SAY, LET'S DO SOME SMALL PROJECTS THAT DON'T REQUIRE A BOND, WHICH IS PART OF THE REASON WHY WE'VE ALWAYS HAD A FUND BALANCE SO THAT IF NORMALLY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT WOULD COME TO US AND SAY, HEY, WE'D REALLY LIKE TO HAVE A RESTROOM OVER HERE, OR WE'D REALLY LIKE TO HAVE A SHADE STRUCTURE HERE, AND WE'D SAY, LET'S DO IT.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE'RE SPINNING IT, LET'S PUT IT IN PLACE.

I'M JUST SAYING, CAN WE FIGURE OUT WHAT A WHAT A TRAIL, EVEN IF IT'S A QUARTER OF A MILE AROUND, THAT LOOKS NICE, WHAT IT COST AND CAN WE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? WELL, I THINK THE TRAIL, CLARK CONDON JUST DID THIS FOR LAKESIDE.

SO THEY HAVE A PRICE FOR CONCRETE.

AND I WOULD IMAGINE THEY HAVE SOMEWHERE THE PRICE FOR CRUSHED GRANITE, [INAUDIBLE] WORKING ON THE OTHER ONE. THEY COULD PROBABLY TELL YOU SO MUCH PER FOOT, FOR WHATEVER YOU DECIDE TO DO. AND WE DO HAVE STUDIES.

I MEAN, WE'VE DONE THE ONE FOR FREEDOM PARK.

YOU DID THAT.

AND I THINK WE'VE DONE SOME OTHERS IN THE PAST YEAR THAT MEGAN'S DONE TO THE PARK.

SO, THAT'S WHY I MENTIONED THE SPLASH PAD.

IT COMES UP ALL THE TIME. SO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PUT IN PLACE THAT YOU COULD USE.

IT JUST COMES UP TO FUNDING.

AND I DO ON YOUR NOTE, [INAUDIBLE], TOO, I THINK THAT STAFF CAN PRESENT YOU WITH.

WE COULD IF YOU WOULD LIKE WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN WITH CITY

[00:50:04]

WE NEED IMPROVEMENTS. WE CAN TELL YOU ALL THOSE THINGS.

WE CAN GIVE YOU THAT. WE CAN GIVE YOU THE OVERARCHING UMBRELLA SCOPE.

OR WE CAN SAY, BUT IF YOU WANT TO JUST ETCH AWAY AT THIS A LITTLE AT A TIME, HERE'S THE PROJECTS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.

THAT CITIZENS ANGLETON'S SEE SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN DO AND GIVE US SOME POINTS ON SOME OF THE THINGS, SEE, I FORGET SOME OF THE DETAILS THAT YOU GUYS HAD TO DEAL WITH. THAT WE NEED A WALKABLE PARK, RIGHT, AND THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF OF A RESIDENTIAL AREA. YEAH, WE'RE ALREADY WALKING THERE.

BUT I WAS THINKING JUST OF WHAT YOU SAID, YOU'RE RIGHT.

SOMETHING THAT DRAWS YOUR EYE THERE AND THAT COURTYARD WAS MEANT TO BE THE OUTSIDE AREA WHEN SOMEBODY RENTED THE WHOLE THING.

BUT I LOVE IT. YOU PUT SOME LIGHTS.

WE JUST DID A THING IN OUR BACKYARD A FEW WEEKS AGO AND YOU PUT SOME OUTDOOR LIGHTS OUT AND IT'S DARK AND PEOPLE GO, OH, HOW NEAT IS THAT? RIGHT. SO, OK, I'M GOING TO THROW THIS OUT HERE.

NO, I CAN'T, BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA.

WELL, THIS IS DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION.

THIS COVERS A LOT. OK, SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE WHAT WOULD BE THE COST TO PROVIDE A TRAIL AROUND THE REC CENTER AND ALSO WHAT WE COULD DO WITH THAT CINDER BLOCK PREVIOUSLY FLOWER BED AREA ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE REC CENTER, TO USE THAT FOR OTHER THINGS, AS PEOPLE CAN SEE, CAN COME IN AND USE.

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THAT.

WE HAVE QUOTES FOR PORTIONS OF THAT, SO WE'RE PUTTING A PACKAGE TOGETHER.

WHAT ALL HAVE YOU RECEIVED? WELL IN-HOUSE, WE'RE GOING TO TEAR DOWN THE WALL.

WE CAN DO THAT, I BELIEVE IS WHAT WE DISCUSSED.

CORRECT, STUART? [CHUCKLING].

WE HAD A SPARK LIGHTING COME OUT LAST YEAR, ACTUALLY, FOR STRAND LIGHTS.

AND I DON'T WANT TO LIE TO YOU.

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK TO SOME OF THESE QUOTES.

HEY, I BOUGHT SOME FROM BALLARD.

THEY'RE REALLY HEAVY DUTY.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO GO TO THE PERSON WHO'S GOING TO SEND IT TO YOU A THOUSAND DOLLARS A STRAND.

SURE. SURE, ABSOLUTELY.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO OVERSTEP BOUNDARIES HERE, BUT I JUST PUT SOME REALLY COOL ONES RIGHT IN MY BACKYARD FOR MY PARTY.

AND SO WE WANT TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL TABLES.

[INAUDIBLE] COULD PROBABLY TELL YOU THE COST OF TABLES AND UMBRELLAS.

FOURTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A TABLE AND UMBRELLA.

YEAH, SORRY. YEAH, ABOUT FOURTEEN TO FIFTEEN HUNDRED PER TABLE AND UMBRELLA, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A REGULAR HEXAGON TABLE.

WE ALSO HAVE AN ADA COMPLIANT HEXAGON TABLE.

SO A WHEELCHAIR CAN ROLL UP, INCLUSIVE.

SO WE HAVE THAT.

WE HAVE GOTTEN QUOTES FOR PING PONG TABLES AND CORNHOLE ABOUT SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.

FUN GAMES. YES.

AND LIKE SHE SAID, YOU CAN COME IN AND WE CAN RENT YOU THE I THINK ENTHUSIASM SHOULD DRIVE THIS BECAUSE JUST LISTENING TO EVERYONE TALKING, THERE'S SO MUCH ENTHUSIASM ABOUT THIS.

SO IT BECOMES NOT TO SAY THE OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE IS NOT FUN, BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE FUN FOR CHRIS.

THEY'RE JUST REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

AND SO I THINK JUST JUMPING ON THIS AND JUST USING ENTHUSIASM TO DRIVE THIS.

AND LIKE YOU SAID, WE ALREADY HAVE THE FUNDS THERE.

AND THIS CAN BE SOMETHING THAT IT'S ALMOST LIKE WHEN THEY SEE THE LIGHTS GO UP, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO COME RIGHT. YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME.

SO I REALLY THINK THAT--SO JUST WHAT'S THE PROCESS? JUST PUSHING FORWARD AND JUST GOING AHEAD WITH THIS? BUT WE NEED TO KNOW THE NUMBERS.

ABSOLUTELY. SO WE CAN BRING THAT BACK TO YOU AT THE NEXT MEETING.

I WOULD LOVE THAT IF THAT'S APPROPRIATE.

YOU STILL HAVE THE PLAT.

ONE TIME WE DREW A TRAIL ON THE ARE, SO WE WOULD KNOW HOW MANY LINEAR FEET IT IS.

SO IN TERMS OF A MOTION-- WE MAY NOT NEED A MOTION.

THEY KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR SO THEY CAN MOVE FORWARD.

WE JUST GIVE DIRECTION AND THEN THEY'LL COME BACK THE NEXT GO AROUND AND PRESENT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK WE SHOULD CONSIDER, IF YOU AGREE, IS WE HAVE ALL THE LAND, EVEN AROUND THE DETENTION AREA.

AND I FEEL THAT THE TRAIL, BECAUSE WE DON'T YET KNOW WHAT ANY KIND OF EXPANSION FOR THE REC CENTER MAY BE.

SO I'D HATE TO BUILD A TRAIL IN THE MIDDLE OF A POTENTIAL EXPANSION AREA.

[00:55:03]

YEAH, PERFECT.

WE CAN PLANT BLUEBONNET LIKE HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LOG YOUR STEPS IF YOU DON'T HAVE FAR TO STEP.

SO BASICALLY WE HAVE SPACE AND WE MAY HAVE SOME MATERIALS THEN.

SO NOT NECESSARILY NEED THE FUNDING.

WELL, WE WILL LIKELY NEED FUNDING.

EXACTLY. AND SO WHAT I HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING AT THE NORTH SIDE OF THE REC CENTER IS MINIMAL DOLLARS IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'RE USED TO FUNDING.

WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS WHAT THE TRAIL IS, BUT I'M OK TO HAVE LIKE A SAWDUST TRAIL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I DON'T I'M NOT GOING TO BE RUNNING ON IT.

THE ONLY THING THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADOPT MINIMUM PARK STANDARDS IN OUR PARK LAND DEDICATION ORDINANCE, AND WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT IT'S ADA ACCESSIBLE.

AND SO WE'VE GOT TO MEET THAT CRITERIA ALSO.

OK, PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO ASK HERE.

ADA ACCESSIBLE TO A WALKING TRAIL.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? SO, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE SLOPES, THE RAMPS AND IT HAS TO BE A COMPACT MATERIAL LIKE OUR DECOMPOSED GRANITE AT FREEDOM PARK IS ADA ACCESSIBLE.

AND SO WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADA COMPLIANT WITH ANY NEW TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE WE'RE BUILDING.

WE HAVE TO MEET CURRENT CODE.

BUT WHY WOULD WE NEED A RAMP ON A FLAT AREA.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.

NO, I'M SAYING LIKE, SO IF YOU GO TO THE ANGLETON RECREATION CENTER WHEN YOU COME AROUND THE FRONT, OK, YOU'RE GOING TO HIT OUR SIDEWALK, SO BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU'RE PUTTING A TRAIL IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARKING LOT OR DRIVE.

SO WE'VE GOT TO USE THAT FRONT SIDEWALK.

SEE, THAT'S WHY I ASKED, OK, SO, YOU'VE ALREADY THOUGHT THIS.

I'M LIKE, HOW DO YOU DO THAT? BUT, IF YOU'RE GOING TO CIRCLE, YOU GOT TO CLEAR THE PARKING LOT.

OK. WELL, AND YES, WE'LL USE OUR EXISTING SIDEWALK FOR THAT AS JUST A CONNECTOR.

BUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DUMPSTER AREA, WE'VE GOT TO HAVE A SLOPE AND RAMPS TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRAIL. THAT'S PERFECT.

SO THAT'S WHY.

OK, I GOT IT.

I WAS JUST THINKING, IT'S FLAT.

WE'RE WALKING, BUT IF WE CIRCLE AROUND, WE DO HAVE TO CROSS THAT.

OK, YEAH.

I GUESS MY...

I'VE BEEN LISTENING AND I LIKE ALL THE IDEAS.

I AM ALSO A NUMBERS PERSON AND I'M THINKING ABOUT THIS AS AN OPERATIONAL COST VERSUS A CAPITAL COST. AND IF THERE'S THINGS YOU CAN DO WITHIN YOUR OPERATIONAL BUDGET, I'M ALL FOR IT. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE CAPITAL, I KIND OF WANT TO SEE THE LISTING AS IT PERTAINS TO THE WHOLE CITY, BECAUSE IF WE DO A CAPITAL PROJECT AT THE REC CENTER, WHAT ARE WE NOT GOING TO DO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT FROM A CAPITAL POINT WE'RE KIND OF IN COMPLIANCE AND NOT PUSHING ALL OF OUR MONEY INTO THE REC CENTER.

WELL, ONE THING THAT WE NEED TO KEEP IN MIND TO WHILE ABLC IS FOR DRAINAGE, PARKS AND RECREATION, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN THE OVERALL SCHEME BECAUSE FIRE MAY VERY WELL HAVE A PROJECT, BUT THEY'RE NOT FUNDED OUT OF ABLC.

SO WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE'RE LOOKING OR WE'RE SAYING WE'RE, YOU KNOW, OVERARCHING VIEW THAT IT NEEDS TO BE IN COMPARISON TO PARKS AND RECREATION AND DRAINAGE FOR THOSE CAPITAL PROJECTS.

BUT I AGREE. YEAH, YEAH.

AND IF YOU COME BACK AND SAY THAT TRAIL IS GOING TO COST THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, I'M GOING TO NEVER MIND [LAUGHTER] SO, I'M PUTTING IT OUT THERE.

IF IT'S A THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR TRAIL, WE CAN'T AFFORD IT.

BUT SO I HOPE THAT'S NOT WHAT THE ANSWER IS.

I WANT TO SAY THAT THE FREEDOM PARTY TRAIL WAS EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ONE MORE TIME.

I WANT TO SAY OFF TOP OF MY HEAD THAT THE FREEDOM PARK TRAIL WAS EIGHTY THOUSAND.

BINGO. LET'S DON'T HAVE ANY INFLATION.

[7. Discussion and possible action on Angleton Little League storage building bids.]

[01:00:38]

ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR ITEM NUMBER SIX? THANK YOU. GREAT. THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS AND THE FEEDBACK.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT.

MOVING ALONG TO PARKS NUMBER SEVEN DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ACTION ON ANGLETON LITTLE LEAGUE STORAGE BUILDING BIDS MS. MEGAN. YES.

SO WE HAD BRENT JENSEN, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ANGLETON LITTLE LEAGUE STORAGE BUILDING PROJECT FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

AND WE HAD SOME BIDS COME IN, WHICH YOU SEE IN YOUR PACKET HERE.

AND I'M GOING TO TRY TO PULL UP THIS AS WELL HERE.

WE HAVE A BID TABULATION SUMMARY THAT IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO READ ALL THE BIDS, IT PROVIDES YOU JUST AN OVERALL VIEW OF WHAT WE RECEIVE.

SO BLS CONSTRUCTION.

WE HAD THREE DIFFERENT BUILDING STYLES.

AND THIS WAS BASED ON A PREVIOUS ABLC MEETING REGARDING THE MATERIALS USED METAL BUILDING SOME MASONRY AND THEN ALL MASONRY.

AND SO WHAT YOU HAVE IS ONE MINIMUM BID OF NINETY EIGHT THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHT DOLLARS, MAXIMUM BID WITH CONSTRUCTION MASTERS OF HOUSTON, ONE HUNDRED TWENTY NINE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTEEN.

A SECOND STYLE HERE, PARTIAL MASONRY, ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY EIGHT THOUSAND VERSUS THE MAX OF ONE HUNDRED SIXTY NINE SEVEN HUNDRED FIVE AND ALL MASONRY MINIMUM BID WAS ONE HUNDRED FIFTY EIGHT THOUSAND MAX HUNDRED AND NINETY TWO THOUSAND NINETY FIVE DOLLARS.

SO THEY BOTH DID WARRANTEE A 20 YEAR STRUCTURAL WARRANTY AND THREE YEAR ASSEMBLY AND INSTALL WORKMANSHIP.

WE DID HAVE I BELIEVE BLS IS MORE OF A LOCAL COMPANY HERE THAT DID ASK FOR SOME ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATIONS BECAUSE THIS HAS NOT BEEN A DESIGN ENGINEER DRAWINGS.

THAT'S NOT WHAT WENT OUT TO BID.

WE JUST PROVIDED CONCEPTS.

THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS FROM BLS CONSTRUCTION.

SO HE DID IN HIS PROPOSAL PROVIDE A LIST OF CLARIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROJECT THROUGH REFERENCES AND PICTURES OF COMPLETED PROJECTS.

ITEM FORTY EIGHT WAS NOT SIGNED BECAUSE COMPLETION DATES DEPEND ON THE AWARD DATE OF THE PROJECT. AND ITEM FIFTY THREE WAS NOT SIGNED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE PROJECT. SO IF YOU SAW SOME OF THE MISSING INFORMATION ON THOSE BIDS, THAT IS WHY CONSTRUCTION MASTERS OF HOUSTON ADDENDA FORM NOT COMPLETE.

SUBS ARE COMPLETING FIFTY FIVE PERCENT OF THE WORK.

IF YOU DECIDE TO GO WITH ANY OF THESE THREE OPTIONS, THE CITY SPECIFIES THAT FIFTY ONE PERCENT MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE PRIMARY CONTRACTOR.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO KNOW.

AND VENDOR NOTED INSURANCE WOULD BE PROVIDED IF AWARDED THE CONTRACT, BUT IT WAS NOT PROVIDED IN THE BID PACKAGE AND IT WAS REQUESTED.

SO THOSE ARE SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER.

AGAIN, BLS HAD SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS LIKE DO YOU HAVE ENGINEER DRAWINGS? WHERE ARE ALL OF THE UTILITIES? STEWART, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE ON SOME OF THE SCOPE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED. HE ANSWERED SOME OF THE QUESTIONS AS IT RELATED TO THE ACTUAL BUILDING.

HE WAS CONTACT FOR THESE BIDDERS.

BUT OVERALL, WHAT OUR RECOMMENDATION IS FROM STAFF IS THAT WE DO NOT PURSUE ANY OF THESE BIDS. WE REJECT ALL BIDS.

BECAUSE WE ARE CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH THE DESIGN OR EXCUSE ME, MASTER PLAN OF FREEDOM PARK, WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT BE PART OF THAT PLAN.

WE MAKE SURE THAT IT'S PART OF THE PLAN BECAUSE IT'S A NEED THERE.

IT'S A CONSTRAINT OF THAT FACILITY AND THAT ORGANIZATION [INAUDIBLE].

AND THEN WHEN WE MOVE INTO DESIGN, WE OBVIOUSLY INCLUDE THAT FACILITY AND DESIGN SO THAT IT IS PROPERLY ENGINEERED AND DESIGNED AND THAT WHEN WE GO TO CONSTRUCTION, THAT BE PART OF THE PROJECT. SO THAT IS OUR RECOMMENDATION.

WE DID TALK TO BRENT JENSEN HAS STEPPED DOWN FROM THE PRESIDENT POSITION AND WE ARE WORKING WITH STACEY AND KEVIN FORESTER AND WE DID NOTIFY THEM OF OUR RECOMMENDATION. THEY DO HAVE FUNDS THAT ARE NEARING AN EXPIRATION.

AS IT RELATES TO THEIR NONPROFIT STATUS, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THEM. THEY DID HAVE BOARD APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A STORAGE BUILDING.

AND SO THAT'S A CONCERN OF THEIRS.

THEY WERE CONCERNED WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION THIS EVENING.

SO I DO WANT TO MAKE THAT KNOWN BECAUSE THE BOARD DID APPROVE A BUILDING LIKE I THINK WHAT BRENT HAD INFORMED YOU ALL DAY.

I THINK THEY HAVE AROUND THIRTY TO THIRTY SIX THOUSAND TO UTILIZE.

AND AS IT RELATES TO THESE, WHICH, AGAIN, IS PRICING BASED OFF OF NON-ENGINEERED PLANS AT THIS POINT.

SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT THESE PRICES ARE BASED THEY'RE MINIMUM AND THEY WILL LIKELY INCREASE AS YOU LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, SLOPES AND DRAINAGE.

WHEN WE PUT A BUILDING IN THIS AREA, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THESE PRICES WILL INCREASE.

AND SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE REJECT ALL BIDS AND THAT THERE THEY GO TO THE BOARD AND REQUEST FUNDS BE SPENT ON A SEPARATE PROJECT.

WELL, THEY COULDN'T EVEN PULL A PERMIT WITHOUT ENGINEERING AND THE LOCATION THEY WANTED IT , REMEMBER WE WENT OUT THERE. THE FIRST IDEA THERE WAS UNDERGROUND UTILITIES [INAUDIBLE].

THE SECOND LOCATION WAS AWAY FROM THINGS.

BUT THE AREA WAS LOW.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME SUBSTANTIAL SWALES AND DRAINAGE.

BUT I AGREE.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE WHATEVER COLOR BUILDING IT IS, WE'RE DOING A MASTER PLAN.

WHY WOULD WE WANT TO PUT A LARGE CONEX BASICALLY WHEN WE'RE DOING GREAT THINGS AND YOU HAVE AN EYESORE FROM WHATEVER.

[01:05:02]

YOU KNOW, IF THEY NEED ANOTHER CONEX UNTIL THE BUILDING'S DONE OR WHATEVER THEY HAVE TO DO, I GUESS, IS AN OPTION.

RIGHT. AND THAT'S WHAT WE DISCUSSED WITH THEM.

THEY ARE IN NEED OF NEW STORAGE SPACE.

SO WE TOLD THEM WE WOULD WORK WITH WE WOULD CALL FOR PRICING FOR CONEX BOXES.

WE'VE ALREADY BEEN WORKING WITH THAT WITH OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT STORAGE AS WELL AS OUR SERVICE AND OUR SERVICE CENTER STORAGE.

SO WE HAVE SEVERAL CONTACTS FOR CONEX BOXES AND WE ALSO BUDGET FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ANNUALLY FOR ALL OF OUR ASSOCIATIONS.

STEWART, DO YOU KNOW IF THEY HAVE SPENT THEIR FIVE THIS YEAR.

DID THEY SPEND IT ON DIRT? THEY HAVE FIFTEEN HUNDRED LEFT, BUT AGAIN, THEY WILL BE BUDGETED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING YEAR AND THEY COULD ALSO UTILIZE THE FUNDS THAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE FOR CONEX BOXES UNTIL THIS PARK IS FULLY DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED.

I THINK, TOO, WHAT WE'RE DOING THERE, WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING IS ABSOLUTELY TAKING THEM INTO CONSIDERATION AS MUCH AS THE AREA THAT WE'RE IMPROVING. SO I APPRECIATE YOUR RECOMMENDATION.

I SUPPORT YOUR RECOMMENDATION.

WHATEVER WAY WE HAVE TO DO THIS, I AGREE WITH WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID IN TERMS OF LET'S JUST GET A COHESIVE PLAN IN PLACE.

LOOK AT THAT AND THEN.

AND THEN GO FORWARD FROM THERE.

IT WILL REQUIRE IF WE DO THIS AND REJECT THE BIDS AND WE SAY IT'S GOING TO BE ARE WE AS A GROUP GOING TO SAY, YES, IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE FINAL PLAN? NO.

I DON'T KNOW. I FEEL COMMITTED THAT I'VE ALREADY SAID YES, OK.

I HOPE SO. BUT THAT'S JUST ME.

OK, SO I AM ONLY ONE PERSON AND I DON'T MIND BEING IN THE MINORITY, IF THAT'S HOW IT WORKS. BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ONE OF THESE PLANS.

NO, NO. BUT IN THE PLAN.

YEAH I THINK THAT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT.

SO I WOULD AGREE.

YEAH, AS THAT-- WE WOULD RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S SOME STORAGE ISSUES.

YEAH, I'M SORRY, I MISUNDERSTOOD.

YEAH, I TOTALLY AGREE.

UH, THEY NEED STORAGE.

WE KNOW THAT.

AND IF IT WORKS OUT THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY ADDITIONAL FIELDS, THEY CERTAINLY NEED STORAGE.

BUT YES, I WOULD SAY THAT THEY DO NEED STORAGE.

I FEEL COMMITTED THAT WE'VE I'VE ALREADY MADE THAT COMMITMENT PERSONALLY.

I FEEL BADLY BECAUSE I WAS HOPING WE COULD MAKE SOMETHING WORK.

BUT IT'S A CHALLENGE WHAT'S OUT THERE WHEN CHRIS AND I WENT TO TRY TO DO IT.

BUT I'VE ALSO BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT, BEING A PARENT OF A KID WHO'S IN LITTLE LEAGUE. SO IF WE CAN HOOK THEM UP WITH BETTER CONEX SO THAT THEY DON'T GET RAINED ON AND DRIPPED IN AND ALL THAT STUFF HOPEFULLY DOESN'T, DOESN'T FIX IT, BUT IT MAKES IT BETTER.

BUT I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE ENTIRE DESIGN OF AN EXTENSION TO FREEDOM PARK WITH SOME THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE HAPPENING IN FREEDOM PARK PART ONE.

IT JUST MAKES SENSE THAT IT BE THERE.

BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE PART OF THAT RENOVATION.

PART TWO WHAT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO CALL IT? THAT I'M CERTAINLY COMMITTED THAT THEY NEED STORAGE.

YEAH, I AGREE. I THINK WHAT WE'VE DONE HISTORICALLY FOR DECADES IS WHEN AN ASSOCIATION CONTRIBUTES THEIR FUNDS, WE WORK WITH THEM ON IT.

AND WE'VE DONE THAT WITH SEVERAL THINGS IN THE SOCCER COMPLEX AND SOFTBALL AND ELSEWHERE.

SO THEY'RE PARTICIPATING.

BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO LOOK AT IT, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH IS OUR SHARE? YOU KNOW, IT DOES SERVE A VERY SMALL GROUP OF THE COMMUNITY, BUT WE DO WANT TO HELP THEM.

BUT I MEAN, IF THE BUILDING CAME BACK FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND.

WELL, THEN, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT.

YEAH, BUT SO WE DO HAVE A SAY ON IT, TOO, BECAUSE WE'RE CONTRIBUTING MAJORITY OF THE COST. BUT WE HAVE IN THE PAST, IF IT'S A CONTRIBUTION FROM, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE ASSOCIATIONS, I THINK WE STILL CAN HELP, BUT WE WANT TO KEEP A CAP ON HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO BE. WELL SAID.

AND ONE THING THAT I JUST THOUGHT OF WHILE WE'RE DISCUSSING THIS, THEY HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT HAVING TO GO BACK TO THE BOARD AND I GUESS REALLOCATE THE MONEY FOR A DIFFERENT PROJECT BECAUSE OF THE DEADLINE.

SO ANOTHER CONSIDERATION I BELIEVE WE'VE ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS IS THAT THEY DO GIVE THE CITY MONEY KNOWING THAT IT IS GOING TOWARDS THE STORAGE BUILDING.

[01:10:05]

SO THAT WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM HAVING TO GO BACK TO THE BOARD AND REEVALUATE THAT.

AND-- I'D SAY WE NEED TO GET LEGAL OPINION--.

ABSOLUTELY.

ABSOLUTELY.

SO A THOUGHT MIGHT BE THAT THEY COULD SPEND THAT MONEY THEY HAVE TO ALLOCATE ON DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE OF THE BUILDING OR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN.

SO THAT WE GET PAST THAT WAS DOES IT NEED TO LOOK LIKE? WHAT'S THE STRUCTURE OR WHAT'S THE WHATEVER, AND THEN WE CAN CROSS IT OUT.

AND SO AS WE BUILD OUT THAT PARK, WE KNOW THAT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S ON THE [INAUDIBLE] OR IT'S ANOTHER PART OF THAT PLAN.

JUST I MEAN, IT'S WAY TO MOVE IT FORWARD, I THINK.

ANOTHER OPTION WOULD BE IS I KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OFF TOPIC, JOHN AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS, BUT SHADING. SO BUILDING. YOU KNOW, WE'RE THROWING IN SOME CARES MONEY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BRING TO YOU NEXT WEEK FOR SHAVING.

LET'S THROW THAT ON TOP AND MAKE THE TAJ MAHAL OF SHADING.

YEAH, THEY BROUGHT THAT UP, ACTUALLY, THAT THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD USE THAT MONEY ON THE SHADING OR FOR SOME OTHER PROJECT THAT THEY NEED TO DO AROUND THERE.

AND WE COULD DO THAT IMMEDIATELY VERSUS SOME DOWN THE YEAR PLAN, BUT MAYBE SPEND A LITTLE BIT MONEY ON THE DESIGN AND WINDSTORM AND ALL THAT STUFF SO IT BECOMES A VIABLE PLAN ON THE SHELF AND THEN FIGURE OUT WHAT IT COULD COST AND, YOU KNOW, INCORPORATE IN THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. QUESTION TO YOU, CHRIS, AND YOU ALL DO THIS ALL THE TIME.

I DON'T. BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT A PLAN.

THE PLAN THEN GETS ENGINEERED BY THE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH NOW, WHICH IS [INAUDIBLE] OK, SO SOMEBODY SO WE SAID, OK, YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE DESIGN COST, BUT I AM ON BOARD THAT I DON'T WANT TO SPEND FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OF MONEY FOR A STORAGE BUILDING, SO I DON'T THINK WE WOULD, I DON'T THINK IT HAS TO BE DESIGNED THAT WAY.

WE'VE GOT SOME THAT ARE HERE THAT ARE ABOUT THIS SIZE FOR THE STYLE THREE, ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S REASONABLE OR NOT-- BUT IT'S JUST THE BUILDING.

THAT'S NOT THE SITE WORK; IT'S NOT UTILITY [INAUDIBLE].

SO YOU KNOW BETTER. SEE, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SPEAKING UP BECAUSE.

BUT I THINK WHAT [INAUDIBLE] CAN DO IS STICK IT ON THE ON THE MAP FOR US.

AND WE SAY THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, IT GOES HERE AND WE'RE TAKING THAT SPACE.

OK, AND THEN IN THE MEANTIME, WE CAN, YOU KNOW, FIND A LOCAL ARCHITECT.

WE CAN WHATEVER TO MEET WITH THE GROUP AND WE CAN SAY HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST TO DESIGN THIS STORAGE BUILDING THAT WE WANT WITHIN THE ARCHITECTURAL CONFINES OF WHAT THE CITY WANTS AND THEN GIVE US A PLAN THAT WE CAN BID OUT.

AND AS WE DEVELOP, AGAIN, FREEDOM PARK AND WE SAY WE WANT THE WALKING TRAIL ON THE NORTH SIDE AND WE WANT THE SPLASH PAD ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND WE WANT WHATEVER, THAT CAN BE JUST ANOTHER ELEMENT THAT GETS BID OUT AS AN ADD-ON, SO WE CAN BID IT ALL OUT AND SAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S WITHIN OUR BUDGET OR IT'S NOT OR IT GOES ON THE [INAUDIBLE] AND IT'S A LOT BETTER THAN SOME OF THE OTHER PROJECTS WE HAVE THEN THAT WE'RE JUST KIND OF SPITBALLING.

AND IT'S NOT HARD TO GET WHETHER YOU GO MUELLER, GO TO WHIRLWIND, GO TO ANY NUMBER OF THESE METAL MANUFACTURERS, THEY WILL ACTUALLY ENGINEER AND DESIGN IT AS PART OF THEIR WHOLE PROCESS ON A METAL BUILDING.

YOU JUST NEED THE PARAMETERS.

THEY WANT 40 BY 40, TWO ROLL UP DOORS, WHATEVER THEY NEED.

AND THEN YOU CAN GET A BID, EITHER MATERIALS ONLY OR INSTALLATION.

THAT'S NOT HARD TO GET, BUT IT COMES DOWN AGAIN WHAT DO WE WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE.

DO WE WANT THE STONE LIKE WE HAVE A LAKESIDE PARK, YOU KNOW, [INAUDIBLE] OR, YOU KNOW, TWO FEET UP, THREE FEET UP, OR DO WE WANT A CERTAIN COLOR? AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT IN THE PARK JUST SO IT GOES WITH IT.

BUT SO WE CAN GET A YOU KNOW, IF THEY SAY THIS IS WHAT WE NEED.

IT WOULDN'T BE HARD. THEY CAN DO IT OR IT'S EASY TO GET FROM THESE COMPANIES.

THERE'S A NUMBER OF THEM I USED OVER THE YEARS, BUT THEY'LL GIVE YOU A BIT OF AN ENGINEERING STAMP, EVERYTHING ON THE PROJECT.

BUT THE OTHER THINGS INVOLVED, LIKE THE SITE PLAN, THE DRAINAGE UTILITIES AND WHAT [INAUDIBLE] SUGGESTIONS MAY COME BACK AT, THAT'LL DRIVE THE COST UP TOO.

[01:15:03]

NOW WE'VE ALREADY GOT THE CONCESSION STAND THERE AND IT IS THE WAY IT IS.

SO WHAT DO WE DO WITH THAT? IF WE HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME VISION OF ALL OF OUR PARKS? IT'S A GOOD TIME TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION HERE BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO WORK.

ARE WE TEARING IT DOWN? WELL, ONE CONVERSATION WAS AT LAKESIDE, WE HAVE STONE UP MAYBE THREE FEET ON THE COLUMNS.

YOU COULD DO THE SAME THING ON THE I-BEAMS IF YOU WANTED TO.

YOU COULD PUT SIMILAR STONE, WHETHER YOU DID ON EVERY COLUMN ON THE CONCESSION STAND BUILDING. OR YOU JUST DO IT ON THE PERIMETERS OR IF THERE'S A COLOR OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE, YOU CAN INCORPORATE PART OF IT.

LIKE WERE TALKING ABOUT A NE BASKETBALL COURT PAVILION AT BATES PARK.

WE TALKED ABOUT CARRYING SOME CONTINUITY, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, COULD BE A COLOR, COULD BE STONE, IT COULD BE ANY NUMBER OF THINGS INTO THERE.

SO WE'RE CARRYING A THEME EVERYWHERE [INAUDIBLE] SIGNAGE.

GOTTA PROTECT YOUR SIGN WE WANTED. WE CARRY THE SIGNAGE THROUGH, BECAUSE WE KIND OF HAVE A HODGEPODGE OF THINGS-- FOR SURE, WE DON'T "KIND OF", WE DO.

[CHUCKLING] AND AS WE SPEND MONEY TO UPDATE, WHY NOT USE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO START CREATING WHATEVER ANGLETON'S THEME'S GOING TO BE? BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, THERE WILL BE SOME THAT LIKE GOING BACK, DO WE WANT TO GO TO THE SOCCER COMPLEX, [INAUDIBLE].

WE MAY NOT. WELL, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER OR CLOSE TO EACH OTHER, WHICH WOULD MAKE SENSE FOR A STORAGE BUILDING FOR THAT, THEN PROBABLY MAKING THOSE UPGRADES TO HAVE A SIMILAR LOOK.

IF YOU HAVE A NEW A NEW BUILDING IN THE NEW SECTION OF FREEDOM PARK WITH THE WHATEVER THEME OR WHATEVER WE HAVE, YOU MAY WANT TO UPGRADE THAT BUILDING.

BUT WELCH PARK OR SOCCER MAY NOT.

IT MAY COME LATER. SO WHAT I'M HEARING US SAY IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO ACCEPT THEIR PROPOSAL TO NOT DO ANY OF THESE BIDS, BUT THAT WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO HELP THEM NOT HAVE TO GO BACK TO HAVE A BOARD MEETING SO THAT THEY CAN USE THEIR THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLAR CONTRIBUTION. AND AS I'VE HEARD US SAY, WE'VE GOT TWO OPTIONS.

ONE, THAT CHRIS SAID, MAYBE IT GOES TOWARDS SOME OF THE DESIGN AND ENGINEERING OR THAT WE COULD THROUGH SOME A LITTLE BIT MORE RESEARCH, PUT IT IN A TAGGED FUND SO THAT WE HOLD THE MONEY. AND THAT GOES AT THAT TIME THAT WE HAVE THAT DEVELOPED.

AM I FOLLOWING? I THINK THAT'S VERY WELL SAID.

DO WE NEED-- SO, I GUESS A TIME SENSITIVE PART IS THEIR FUNDS.

YES, AND I DON'T QUITE FULLY UNDERSTAND THE DEADLINE TO USE FUNDS.

THEY SAID IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THEIR NONPROFIT STATUS AND THEY HAD THIS EARMARKED SPECIFICALLY THE BOARD MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO USE IT ON STORAGE.

AND SO THEY'RE CONCERNED WITH PAYING TAXES ON WHAT THEY HAVE ALLOCATED FOR STORAGE BUILDING, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE REALLOCATED ELSEWHERE.

I AM NOT SURE ALL OF THE I CAN'T SPEAK TO THEIR DEADLINE AT THIS TIME AND WHAT THOSE CONSTRAINTS ARE, BUT I'M CONFIDENT WE CAN WORK IT OUT.

SO, DOES IT GIVE YOU ENOUGH INFORMATION TO GO BACK AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO PUT THIS ON HOLD, BUT WE WANT TO HONOR AND SUPPORT AND, YOU KNOW.

YES, AND CONGRUENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT, I MEAN, WE LITERALLY HAD A PHONE CONVERSATION WITH THEM TODAY SO THAT THEY KNEW WHAT WERE PROPOSING.

AND MY RECOMMENDATION AND PROPOSAL IS THAT JUST LIKE YOU ALL WHAT I HEAR YOU GUYS SAYING WHILE WE'RE REJECTING THESE BIDS, THE INTENT IS TO INCLUDE STORAGE IN THE DESIGN PLAN-- AND TO NOT HAVE THEM HAVE TO GO BACK AND UTILIZE THE FUNDS THAT THEY HAVE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THEIR NONPROFIT STATUS.

YEAH, I THINK THAT THEY PROBABLY HAVE PRESENTED THEY'VE RECEIVED FUNDS.

THEY'VE NOT EXPENDED FUNDS.

SO NOW THEY'VE GOT A

[8. Discussion on Park Division updates.]

YEAH, AND THAT'S WHAT I IMAGINE.

THEY WANT YOU TO SPEND IT.

THEY DO. YOU'RE A NONPROFIT.

SPEND IT OR YOU GOING TO PAY TAX ON IT.

SO DO YOU NEED A MOTION FROM US OR YOU HAVE ENOUGH DIRECTION TO GIVE THEM? I HAVE ENOUGH DIRECTION UNLESS YOU WOULD LIKE FORMAL MOTION.

GOOD, ANYTHING ELSE ON THE LITTLE LEAGUE? MOVING RIGHT ALONG. NO.

8: DISCUSSION AND POLI--I'M JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE I SAW THE 'P'--DISCUSSION ON PARK DIVISION UPDATES [CHUCKLING] MR. STEWART. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

I GUESS IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE Y'ALL HAVE HEARD ONE OF THESE, SO WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT TO COVER HERE. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING--THE PARKS AND REC STAFF IS CURRENTLY WORKING

[01:20:05]

WE'RE LOOKING AT POSSIBLY A JUNE 15TH DATE AT MASTERSON PARK AND SETTING UP A MEETING, YOU KNOW, GET TOGETHER WITH OUR CITIZENS AND, YOU KNOW, PD PROVIDING INFORMATION TO FOR THEM, BASICALLY HOPING THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES RUNNING THE PROGRAM.

AND SO THAT'S SO LOOK FOR THAT ON JUNE THE 15TH.

WE PARTNERED WITH BRIANNA PELTIER FOR A GIRL SCOUT PROGRAM.

SHE BUILT THESE LITTLE LIBRARIES.

I'VE SEEN THEM; YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN THEM BEFORE.

AND WE INSTALLED THEM AT BATES PARK AND FREEDOM PARK THIS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

SO, I THINK I WENT BY THERE FRIDAY AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY BOOKS IN THEM YET.

SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO-- IS SHE AWARE THAT IT'S READY TO [INAUDIBLE].

YEAH. OK.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TELL HER.

[LAUGHTER] BUT ANYWAY, SO WE GOT THAT COMPLETED HELPING HER OUT. FREEDOM PARK, EVERYBODY KNOWS, I THINK IT'S WELL AWARE THE SATELLITES ARE UP AND RUNNING.

IF YOU HADN'T HAD A CHANCE TO GO OUT AND CHECK THEM OUT.

SO FOR THE ABLC FOLKS AT THE COUNCIL MEETING, WE RECOGNIZED OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH TXU, BUT ALSO AGAIN, IT'S THE STAFF THAT DID IT.

I MEAN, THIS IS A PILOT PROGRAM.

THEY PICKED THE LIGHTS, THEY INSTALLED THEM.

SO WE HAD THE DREAMERS GROUP THAT FIGURED IT OUT AND THEN 'JUST DO IT', NIKE GROUP, THAT JUST DID IT. [LAUGHTER] BUT WE JUST WANTED TO THANK THEM AND WE RECOGNIZED THEM AT THE COUNCIL MEETING FOR THEIR ACTION.

EXCELLENT. I HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE SO I HAVEN'T SEEN.

I'M EXCITED. YEAH.

SO MUCH BETTER.

RESTROOM UPDATE, SINCE WE LAST MET, WE'VE INSTALLED OUR HAND-FREE FAUCETS, HAND-FREE SOAP DISPENSERS, HAND-FREE HAND DRYERS AT ALL OUR PARKS.

THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAVE NOT WE'RE REVISITING THE BATES RESTROOM AND FREEDOM RESTROOM FOR THE FLUSH VALVES ON THE TOILETS AND STUFF.

WE WERE ABLE TO INSTALL THEM AT SOCCER.

BUT THE TYPE OF FLUSH VALVES THAT ARE AT THESE OTHER TWO RESTROOMS, THEY HAVEN'T REALLY CAME UP WITH A RETROFIT FOR THAT YET, SO TO SPEAK.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE TELLING ME.

BUT WE'RE REVISITING IT BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS, NOT JUST GOING IN THERE AND PUTTING IN A NEW MECHANISM, BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE BUILDING ITSELF, TO THE CINDER BLOCK MAKING THEM FIT.

SO WE'VE GOT TO COME UP WITH A PLAN FOR THAT AND A COST BECAUSE IT'S A LOT DIFFERENT THAN PUTTING A HANDS-FREE DEVICE ON A FLUSH VALVE THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE PIPE CHASE.

SO BUT WE ARE DEFINITELY REVISITING THAT AND HOPEFULLY COME UP WITH SOME COST.

THE PLAYGROUND WE'VE INSTALLED HANDS-FREE HAND SANITIZERS AT ALL OUR PLAYGROUNDS OTHER THAN DICKEY, AND THEY'LL GET INSTALLED ONCE THE NEW PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT IS PUT IN.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ADJACENT TO ALL OUR PLAYGROUNDS SO THEY CAN COME UP AND, YOU KNOW, DO THEIR HAND SANITIZING BEFORE AND AFTER THEY GET OFF THE PLAYGROUNDS.

THE GAZEBO, IF YOU HAD NOTICED, IS GONE.

WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE THAT DOWN.

AND IT'S A BIG THANK YOU TO PUBLIC WORKS, BECAUSE IF IT WEREN'T FOR THEM, WE WOULD'VE HAD TO GO A DIFFERENT ROUTE, BUT THEY HELPED US OUT BIG TIME ON THAT.

DID YOU FIND SOMEBODY TO ACCEPT THE MONUMENTS THAT WERE THERE, PLAQUES, THAT KIND OF MONUMENT? WHEN YOU'RE A VETERAN, SOME KIND OF MONUMENT

[01:25:17]

I MEAN, DID YOU TAKE THEM OR DID-- YEAH, WE' GOT THEM OVER IN STORAGE.

SO WHENEVER WE DECIDE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO THERE, WE'LL REINSTALL.

SO, OK, AND WE'VE REESTABLISHED ELECTRICITY RIGHT THERE.

WE HAD TO DISCONNECT ALL THE POWER TO GET IT OUT.

SO WE REESTABLISHED POWER THERE SO WE CAN HAVE A CONCERT IN THE PARK SO THE BAND WILL HAVE POWER. SO WE GOT THAT BACK UP.

IS THAT WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE? I WAS WONDERING YEAH, A PORTABLE STAGE FOR THE TEMPORARY.

OH, OK. AT BATES PARK, WE DID SOME REPAINTING ON THE LIGHT POLES, REPAINTED SOME OF THE LETTERINGS ON THE PARK SIGNS AND POWERWASHED THEM.

REPLACED SOME BOARDS ON THE STEP TO THE SCORES TABLES ON THE SOFTBALL FIELD.

WE REPAIRED SOME ELECTRICAL BOXES AND REPLACED THREE BASKETBALL RIMS. WE DID THAT LAST WEEK.

WE HAVE, MAY 3RD, WE HAVE SCHEDULED TO RESTRIPE THE PARKING LOT AT BATES AND DICKEY.

SO AND CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING ON THE NEW VOLLEYBALL COURTS AND VOLLEYBALL COURT AT DICKEY BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE THE OLD ONE WE'RE SETTING IS GOING TO BE A PLAYGROUND. SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF RELOCATING THAT.

THE BG PECK SOCCER COMPLEX, TODAY, THEY SHOULD BE FINISHED MAYBE, IF NOT, THEY'LL BE BACK IN THE MORNING. BUT THEY HAVE RESTRIPED THE PARKING LOT, BOTH PARKING LOTS.

AND SO I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE REAL HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

AND WHEN WE FIRST STARTED [INAUDIBLE] PROJECT, THE VENDOR BROUGHT A DEMO LIGHT TO US TO TRY IT OUT. HE ENDED UP GIVING IT TO US.

AND SO WE SET THAT LIGHT AT THE ENTRANCE GATE TO THE SOCCER COMPLEX.

SO WHEN THEY'RE COMING AND GOING THROUGH THE GATE, OPEN THE GATE, THEY HAVE SOME LIGHT RIGHT THERE. YES, IT'S VERY DARK OVER THERE.

SO THEY'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT.

AND ALSO FRIDAY, I RECEIVED A QUOTE FOR LIGHTING THE PARKING LOT, BOTH PARKING LOTS.

I'M GOING TO HAVE HIM ADD SOME STAFF CHANGE SOME STUFF.

I DON'T THINK HE HAS ENOUGH PERIMETER LIGHT.

SO I'M GOING TO HAVE HIM ADD SOME OF THOSE, AND PLUS SPLIT IT UP BETWEEN THE MAIN PARKING LOT AND AUXILLARY PARKING LOT, BECAUSE MAYBE WE JUST WANT TO DO THAT IN PHASES, TOO.

HAS THE SOCCER ASSOCIATION BROUGHT UP ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT SOLAR LIGHTS CLOSER TO THE FIELDS? NOT SO MUCH CLOSER TO THE FIELDS.

THEY HAVE BROUGHT UP ABOUT LIGHTING THAT BACK, THAT NORTHWEST CORNER FIELD, BUT NOTHING ABOUT, AND IT'LL PROBABLY BE A GOOD IDEA TO DO THAT.

YEAH TO THE EAST OF THE PAVILION.

RIGHT. SO, BETWEEN THE FIRE FIELD AND THE PAVILION, WHERE THE SMALLER FIELDS ARE AND JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHTS OVER THERE.

UM, THERE ALWAYS IT'S NOT REALLY AN ISSUE IN THE SUMMERTIME AND THE EARLY FALL AND LATE SPRING. BUT WHEN THE SOCCER ASSOCIATION STARTS, THEIR SEASONS START KIND OF EARLY.

THEY DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS FOR THE YOUNGER KIDS BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAVE THE BIG FIELDS LIT UP. ARE YOU SAYING, FOR FIELD LIGHTING OR JUST.

WELL, ANY LIGHTING IS ACTUALLY HELPFUL.

SO IF YOU PUT THEM RIGHT OFF THE EAST SIDE OF THE PAVILION, THEY WOULD ACTUALLY LIGHT UP THE SMALLER FIELDS A LITTLE BIT.

SO IT WOULD BE A DOUBLE WIN THERE.

YOU'D HAVE SOME LIGHTING FOR THE PAVILION AND SOME OF THE KIDS HAVE A LITTLE BIT LONGER.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ELECTRIC LIGHTS ON THE PAVILION OR SOLAR? WOULD YOU NOT BE MORE BENEFICIAL TO BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE LUMENS AND SOME MORE OUTPUT, MORE MONEY FOR THE-- WELL, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU--THE THING YOU'VE GOT TO REMEMBER IS WHEN YOU START LIGHTING THESE FIELDS UP, THERE'S A STANDARD THAT YOU HAVE TO GO BY AS FAR AS LUMENS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING YOU WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO.

SO THIS WOULD BE FOR LIKE A LITTLE PRACTICE FOR.

LIKE THAT. THAT'S WHAT THE BIG FIELDS ARE.

SO THEY DON'T LOSE THEIR LITTLE KIDS OUT THERE, WHICH ARE JUST TRYING TO-- JUST SO THEY CAN PRACTICE A LITTLE BIT LONGER.

YEAH. YEAH, I CAN.

WE CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT.

I MEAN ACTUALLY YOU COULD PROBABLY USE THE SAME LIGHTS, YOU USE OUT AT FREEDOM AND WE ALREADY KNOW HOW MUCH THOSE WERE.

RIGHT, BECAUSE SOME PARENTS ACTUALLY WILL PUT THEIR CARS AT THE EDGE OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THEY JUST SHINE THEM OUT THERE.

SO ON THE ONES THAT YOU WOULD PUT ON THERE, WOULD THEY JUST BE ACTIVATED BY DUSK OR WOULD YOU HAVE A MOTION ACTIVATED? IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BOTH.

SO YOU CAN PUT THE LIGHT SOMEWHERE AND RUN A REMOTE SENSOR FOR THAT MOTION ELSEWISE.

EACH LIGHT HAS THEIR OWN THEIR OWN SENSORS.

SO, LIKE, IF IT'S UP ON THE EVE OF THE BUILDING, LIKE WHAT JOHN WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT,

[01:30:02]

WHAT JOHN IS TALKING ABOUT IS ACTUALLY CLOSER TO THE FIELD.

YEAH, THEY'D SERVE FOR BOTH PURPOSES FOR SECURE.

IT'S MOSTLY FOR SECURITY, BUT THE SECURITY LIGHTS CAN BE USED FOR WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

BECAUSE, I MEAN, THEY HAVE LIGHTS AROUND-- I JUST I THOUGHT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT RUNNING SOME LIGHTS FROM THE PAVILION DOWN THAT WAY . I ACTUALLY WOULD DEFER TO DUSTIN.

WELL, I CAN GET WITH HIM, AND HE'LL SHOW ME WHAT HE WANTS.

YEAH, DUSTIN'S QUITE CAPABLE.

YEAH, HE'S VERY EASY TO WORK WITH BUT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WHILE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SOCCER COMPLEX THAT WAS AT OUR PARKS BOARD MEETING WITH ASSOCIATIONS. THEIR NUMBER ONE ISSUE WAS FILL.

WHAT DID WE EVER COME UP WITH ON THAT? I HAD A GUY COME OUT WITH TEXAS MULTICAM, AND HE CAME OUT, TOOK A LOOK AT THE FIELD AND HE NOTICED SOME AREAS THAT DID NEED SOME ATTENTION, LOW LYING AREAS.

AND WHAT HE'S SUGGESTING, INSTEAD OF GOING IN THERE AND LASER SHOOTING AND RECAPPING ALL THE, BECAUSE HE'S TALKING ABOUT LIKE TWO DOLLARS A SQUARE FOOT.

AND WHEN YOU START ADDING IT UP, IT GETS VERY EXPENSIVE.

HE'S TALKING POSSIBLY COMING IN HERE AND GETTING SOME SELECT FILL TOPSOIL AND HIM COMING IN THERE AND JUST FILLING IN LOW SPOTS AND THEN GRADUALLY JUST TAPERING THE FIELDS.

AND HE CHARGES HE CAN DO ONE FIELD FOR I THINK HE WAS SAYING LIKE FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS TO COME IN AND DO THAT, BUT WE WOULD HAD TO SUPPLY THE DIRT, PAY FOR THE DIRT AND HE'S TALKING ABOUT LIKE 80 YARDS PER FIELD DIRT TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO.

AND WE WOULD HAVE TO POSSIBLY RAISE UP SOME OF THE SPRINKLER HEADS TO ACCOMMODATE THE RISE IN THE SURFACE.

SO BUT-- SOUND LIKE THAT WAS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS WITH ASSOCIATIONS.

THAT WAS AN ONGOING THING, AND IT HAS BEEN FOR YEARS.

NUMBER ONE THING, TOO, IS ONCE YOU START SHEDDING THAT WATER OFF, YOU GOT TO HAVE A PLACE FOR IT TO GO. RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, AND WHERE DOES THAT LITTLE BITCH GO? I THINK EVERYTHING DRAINS NORTH FROM WHAT I CAN TELL WELL, I SAY EVERYTHING.

THE I GUESS FROM THE PAVILION NORTH GOES THAT DIRECTION.

AND THE SOUTH FIELDS NEXT TO THE DUMPSTER.

I THINK THEY GO OUT SOUTH DOWN THE-- OK. THEY RUN PARALLEL TO THE TO THE OUTGOING ROAD.

THERE'S A DITCH THAT AND I THINK THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

THE PROPERTY DOESN'T GO THAT WAY, BUT THE WAY TO GET IT OUT WAS, SUPPOSE-- I MAY BE WRONG, I COULD BE COMPLETELY WRONG.

I MEAN, I HAVEN'T... YEAH.

AND I KNOW THAT ON THE EAST SIDE THAT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE ANYWHERE TO DRAIN.

KIND OF HANGS AROUND OVER THERE.

WELL, AND, YOU KNOW, HE WAS SHOWING, YOU KNOW, LIKE WHERE THE SMALL FIELDS ARE AT, YOU WOULD TREAT THAT AS ONE BIG FIELD.

YOU WOULDN'T INDIVIDUALLY, THAT WAY, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO CUT ANYMORE OR DITCHES.

YOU WOULD JUST CREATE ONE SLOPE FOR THE WHOLE AREA.

BUT I MEAN, IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY PUT IT IN OUR BUDGET AND SEE HOW FAR IT GOES, AND, YOU KNOW, YOU DO ONE FILL A YEAR, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT COULD BE DOABLE.

YEAH. I MEAN, WE HAVE A I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF YOU ALL BUT I HAVE A SON IN SOCCER AND I HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT ARE DOING THE SOCCER ASSOCIATION.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE RECENTLY HAD TO GO TO BAY CITY.

WE GO TO LAKE JACKSON AND PLAY TOO AND WE HAVE A GREAT FACILITY.

IT NEEDS SOME TLC AND SOME UPKEEP.

BUT OVERALL, I WOULD PUT OURS UP AGAINST ANY OF THE OTHER ONES, JUST THE AMENITIES THAT WE HAVE AND THE KIDS THAT THE PLAYGROUNDS THAT FOR THE KIDS THAT ARE NOT PLAYING FOR THE PAVILION. SO IN SHADE OR FOR RAIN OR SOMETHING, THEY CAN GET UP UNDERNEATH THERE.

I MEAN, WE HAVE A REALLY, REALLY NICE PLACE.

IT'S BETTER THAN THE ONE IN BAY CITY AND IT'S DEFINITELY BETTER THAN THE ONE IN LAKE JACKSON. WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP IT GOING.

ACTUALLY, THEY ALSO NEED SHADE STRUCTURE AROUND THEIR FIELDS, TOO.

YES. I MEAN, THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT BECAUSE THEY DON'T PLAY AT NIGHT.

RIGHT. IT'S ALL DURING THE DAY.

SO THEY DO NEED STRICT SHADE SPACE.

AND I HAD ACTUALLY AN EAGLE SCOUT DO A PROJECT OUT THERE AT THE SOCCER ASSOCIATION.

HE REPAINTED ALL THOSE PAVILIONS THAT ARE OUT THERE.

BUT THERE'S THERE'S REALLY NOT ENOUGH OF THEM.

I WISH THERE WERE MORE. I VOLUNTEER FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROGRAM FOR BATES SINCE I

[01:35:08]

WORKS FOR ME.

GONNA GIVE HIM A LITTLE BLUE ARMBAND WITH PARK PATROL ON IT.

YEAH. GIVE ME A LITTLE HAT, LITTLE BADGE.

[LAUGHTER] I'M GOING TO DRIVE THE TRACTOR THROUGH THERE AT 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.

GET HIM A HAT THAT SAYS PARK PATROL ON IT.

THERE YOU GO. GOT TO HAVE A LITTLE BADGE.

THAT'S RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. STEWART? THANK YOU, SIR, FOR THAT UPDATE.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG, DRAINAGE NUMBER NINE, DISCUSSION REGARDING DRAINAGE UPDATE.

[9. Discussion regarding Drainage updates]

SO MY NAME IS NOT JEFFSOPHER.

[LAUGHTER] SO I'VE GOT TWO UPDATES.

ONE IS THE HENDERSON CULVERT REPLACING THE PROJECT IN CONJUNCTION WITH [INAUDIBLE] GREEN AND [INAUDIBLE] DEVELOPMENT.

THE UPDATE IS ABOUT THREE WEEKS FROM BEING COMPLETE.

ARE THEY AHEAD OF SCHEDULE? I THINK SO.

OK, THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR.

AND THEN THE SECOND UPDATE ON DRAINAGE IS THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT LEVEE IMPROVEMENT. THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ANGLETON DRAINAGE DISTRICT IS ABOUT TO START.

WE JUST HAVE TO TAKE THE FENCING DOWN AND THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT WILL COME IN AND SCRAPE SOME OF THE DIRT THAT'S BEHIND THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AND PUSH IT UP ON THE LEVEE AND THEN WE'LL PUT THE FENCE BACK IN.

SO THE ONLY OTHER PROJECT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT WOULD BE THE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS TO RAISE THE ROAD, TO BE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LEVEE TO PREVENT WATER FROM IN THERE.

WELL, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT, JEFF, BUT CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE WATER WELL IN FREEDOM PARK? YES. RIGHT NOW IT'S BEEN JUST SITTING THERE.

WHAT IS THE POSSIBILITY? I KNOW WHO BROUGHT IT UP WITH [INAUDIBLE] ABOUT UTILIZING THAT WATER TO FILL UP THE NEW POND OR DO SOMETHING.

IS THAT AN OPTION? I HAVEN'T REALLY HEARD OFFICIAL OPINION ON IT.

SO RIGHT NOW, NO.

I MEAN, WE CAN LOOK AT POTENTIALLY CONNECTING IT, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY EXPENSIVE WATER BECAUSE IT'S THE ARSENIC SNAKE WATER AND WE'RE GOING TO SPEND TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS EVERY THREE YEARS TO REPLACE THE MEMBRANES.

BUT THE FISH IN THE LAKE WOULDN'T CARE IF THERE'S ARSENIC IN IT.

SO, I MEAN, YOU COULD THEORETICALLY FLUSH OUT YOUR ARSENIC BY PUTTING IT INTO A POND.

BUT I DON'T KNOW.

AGAIN, WE HAVEN'T EXPLORED THAT.

AND I'D HAVE TO GIVE WITH THE REAL JEFFSOPHER SOMETHING? ALL RIGHT, ANY MORE QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE, MOVING ON. NUMBER 10 UNDER THE FINANCE TAB DISCUSSION ON THE ABLC AND

[10. Discussion on the ABLC and Recreation YTD Financial Statements of March 2021.]

2.0 [LAUGHTER] THE OTHER CHRIS.

I'M THE NEW FINANCE DIRECTOR AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE SOME OTHER ACCOUNTANTS AND DETAIL PEOPLE ON THE BOARD.

SO I'M SURE WE'RE GOING TO SEE THINGS VERY SIMILARLY.

JUST A QUICK BACKGROUND.

I'VE BEEN A CPA FOR OVER 25 YEARS, BEEN DOING MUNICIPALITY WORK FOR 10 YEARS.

THE LAST CITY I WAS AT WAS CITY OF ROGERS, SMALL CITY.

SO I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE.

AND I LOOK AT THINGS FROM AN INTERNAL CUSTOMER BASE.

SO YOU'RE MY CUSTOMERS.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING MORE OR LESS, TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE.

AND I WILL TRY TO GET IT HERE THE NEXT TIME.

OK, OVERALL, THIS IS JUST THROUGH MARCH.

AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF PRELIMINARY NUMBERS HERE.

WE KNOW SALES TAX IS TWO MONTHS BEHIND.

THE REC REVENUE HAS BEEN DOWN BECAUSE OF COVID-19.

BUT IT'S COMING BACK.

YOU KNOW, WE THINK THE ACTIVITIES ARE GOING TO BE INCREASING FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR, BUT THE REC EXPENSES ARE LOWER THAN BUDGETED AS WELL.

WE'VE ALREADY PAID THE BOND PAYMENT IN FEBRUARY AND THE AUDIT IS STILL ONGOING.

BUT WE ACTUALLY GOT THE PRELIMINARY REPORT TODAY.

WE SENT THAT OUT. AND SO THAT WAS DELAYED FOR A SINGLE AUDIT FOR FEDERAL FUNDS.

THAT'S NOT RELATED TO THIS TO THIS MEETING.

BUT IT IS DONE NOW AND WE PLAN TO GET IT APPROVED AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING.

AND THEN AT THAT POINT, WE'LL MAKE THE TRANSFERS.

THE TRANSFERS HAVEN'T BEEN MADE AT THIS POINT IN THE YEAR.

SO IT'S HARD TO TELL WHERE WE ARE FOR THAT.

BUT WE DO HAVE A FUND BALANCE IN THE ABLC FROM LAST YEAR, IT WAS EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT THOUSAND. AND THE REC IS A LITTLE LOWER THAN WHAT WAS SHARED BEFORE.

IT'S 270 BECAUSE THERE WAS A DEFICIT LAST YEAR THAT'S GOING TO COME OUT OF THAT.

[01:40:03]

BUT IT'S 270 IS WHAT THAT NUMBER IS.

AND THAT'S THE SUMMARY.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ON YOUR PAGE, ON YOUR ITEM 10.

WHAT IS ABLC F.S.B LUIS.

FIRST STATE BANK OF LUIS.

SO WHY DO WE HAVE OUR MONEY IN THE FIRST STATE BANK OF LUIS? THAT'S JUST WHAT THEY CALL IT.

THAT'S THE ANGLETON BRANCH.

BUT THAT'S FIRST STATE BANK. OK, WHERE IS THE PHYSICAL BANK THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

IN ANGLETON. JUST NORTH OF THERE OF I USED TO BE COMMERCIAL STATE BANK.

OK, LUIS.

OK, I JUST WAS LIKE, WHAT IS THAT? OK, GOT IT. GREAT QUESTION.

ALL RIGHT. SO, CHRIS, YOU WERE SAYING ON PAGE 10 THAT THE.

NO, I'M SORRY. IT'S ALL ITEM TEN, BUT THE BOTTOM, THAT'S PAGE 138 TO 152.

PAGE 142, 318 IS BEFORE THE FINAL DEFICIT.

THAT'S ON THE ANGLETON ACTIVITY CENTER.

SO THE THREE EIGHTEEN IS PRIOR TO SOME ADJUSTMENT-- RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S THE PULL CASH, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE NEXT PAGE, ONE FORTY THREE, OK, YOU'LL SEE THERE'S ALREADY SOME COMMITMENTS THERE IN ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND THEN THERE'S GOING TO BE A SURPLUS DEFICIT DOWN AT THE BOTTOM WHERE IT SHOWS THAT 270 NUMBER IS THE REAL EQUITY NUMBER.

OK, GOT YOU.

OK, SO THAT'S WHY, [INAUDIBLE], YOU WERE SAYING EARLIER THAT.

THAT THE COMMITMENT OF THE ROOF, THE DOORS AND THEN THE SLIDE ARE GOING TO BE IN EXCESS OF THE REMAINING FUND BALANCE, BUT YOU'RE USING SOMETHING ELSE.

WHAT WAS IT? WE'LL BE USING OUR EXISTING POOL MAINTENANCE BUDGET TO COVER THE EXCESS, OK, WHICH WILL LEAVE US A BALANCE OF ABOUT WELL NOW I HAVE TO GO PROBABLY A LITTLE MORE THAN ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND IN OUR POOL MAINTENANCE, BUT WE HAVE ABOUT 32 AS WELL UNACCOUNTED FOR IN OUR BUILDING MAINTENANCE.

SO IF WE HAD TO MOVE FUNDS, HEAVEN FORBID, WE HAVE A NECESSARY POOL MAINTENANCE PROJECT, BUT WE HAVE THIS ACCOUNTED FOR IN OUR EXISTING BUDGET.

AND HEY, CHRIS, [INAUDIBLE] I'M SORRY.

SO ON PAGE 145, WHERE WE TALK ABOUT REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES, AND I THINK THIS IS REALLY A TIMING ISSUE, RIGHT? THE EXPENDITURES OF SIX HUNDRED THIRTEEN THOUSAND VERSUS THE REVENUE OF 98, THAT'S JUST BECAUSE SOME OF THE COSTS YOU'VE ALREADY INCURRED, YOU'VE ALREADY PAID OUT.

WE HAVEN'T BOOKED THE TRANSFERS IS A BIG THING THERE.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING AND HOW OFTEN ARE YOU BOOKING THOSE TRANSFERS? YOU DOING A MID-YEAR AND THEN A YEAR END, OR ARE YOU DOING IT MORE OFTEN THAN THAT? WELL, THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE MID-YEAR BECAUSE WE'RE WAITING ON THE AUDIT TO BE FINALIZED. WE'LL DO IT SOONER, PROBABLY EVERY QUARTER GOING FORWARD.

OK. SO WHY WOULD IT TAKE SO LONG FOR THE AUDIT TO GET DONE, OR IS THIS THE NORMAL TIMING? NO, IT'S A LITTLE LONGER THAN NORMAL.

WHAT WE FOUND OUT IN THE AUDIT PROCESS WAS THAT WE RECEIVED SOME FEDERAL FUNDS FOR COVID-19 THAT ACTUALLY PUT US OVER THE SEVEN OR FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE CITY WHICH CAUSED A SINGLE AUDIT.

WHERE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO AUDIT THE FEDERAL FUNDS THEMSELVES.

SO THE AUDIT ON TOP OF THE AUDIT WE HAD, AND THAT'S WHAT DELAYED IT.

WELL, I GUESS IF YOU GET SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THOUGH, YOU'LL DO A SEPARATE AUDIT.

IT'S ENCOURAGING TO SEE THE 2013 BOND IS THREE YEARS AWAY FROM BEING PAID OFF.

I ALWAYS LIKE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT DEBT SERVICE STRUCTURE, BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF OUR KEY TO HOW WE'RE PLANNING AND WE'RE GOING TO GO FOR, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE GOING TO DO FREEDOM, PART PHASE TWO OR WHATEVER, HOW WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT.

[01:45:02]

AND CHRIS, THANK YOU.

BECAUSE AS A CPA, YOU UNDERSTAND THIS, BUT I'LL GIVE APPROPRIATE RECOGNITION.

AT THE LAST MEETING THAT SUSIE WAS HERE, I ASKED HER TO HAVE THIS DOCUMENT AS A PERMANENT PAGE EVERY TIME WE MEET BECAUSE YOU GUYS MIGHT KEEP IT IN YOUR HEAD.

BUT IT'S REALLY HARD FOR US TO KEEP THE DETAILS BECAUSE WE DON'T DEAL WITH IT EVERY DAY.

SO IF YOU WOULD, THAT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT, BECAUSE IT'S SO EASY TO JUST LOOK AND GO, OK, HERE'S THE SCHEDULE VERSUS TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT THEY'RE FOR WHEN WE BECAUSE WE DID SOME REFINANCING ON THESE THINGS.

SO IF THIS COULD BE PART OF IT, WE SURE APPRECIATE IT.

AND I APPRECIATE IT BEING HERE.

YES, DEFINITELY. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THERE'S MORE DESCRIPTION AT THE BOTTOM TO TELL YOU WHAT THOSE BONDS WERE FOR THAT PROBABLY WASN'T THERE THE LAST TIME YOU SAW IT.

AND LIKE YOU SAID, WE'VE ALREADY MADE THE LAST DEBT SERVICE.

THE SIX HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND HAVE BEEN PAID, RIGHT? THE PRINCIPLE HAS BEEN PAID FOR THIS YEAR. RIGHT, SO WE HAVE TWO LEFT ON THE 2013.

RIGHT. AND FIVE LEFT ON THE TWENTY SIXTEEN.

YEAH, CORRECT.

I SIT UP HERE ENOUGH TO HEAR ALL THE PROJECTS.

I KNOW THIS MONEY IS GOING TO GO SOMEWHERE.

DON'T TELL ME THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY STUDIES, BECAUSE I KNOW THE STUDIES COME UP ALL THE TIME. AND I PROMISE THIS IS THE LAST ONE I'M ASKING.

BUT THE ON PAGE 147, THE CONTINGENCY OF FIFTY FOUR THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED SEVEN FOR SOME REASON, I HAVE THAT IN MY HEAD THAT WE HAD THAT CONTINGENCY LAST YEAR.

SO I'M WONDERING WHY IT'S BACK IN THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR AND IT'S OK FOR YOU TO TELL ME LATER, BECAUSE I REALIZE THIS WAS ON A BUDGET THAT WE PASSED LAST TIME AND MAYBE I JUST DON'T REMEMBER.

THAT LAST COLUMN IS THE APPROVED BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR.

SO WHETHER WE SPEND IT OR NOT, LAST YEAR IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, THERE'S A $54,107 CONTINGENCY. SO THE QUESTION IS, WHAT IS IT? WELL, IT'S FOR THINGS THAT WEREN'T PLANNED FOR.

ISN'T IT AN ODD NUMBER.

I KNOW, AND YOU WEREN'T HERE WHEN WE PASSED IT, SPEAKERS] BUT IT'S NOT ALLOCATED ANY SPECIFIC PROJECT AT THE TIME OF THE BUDGET.

OK YOU WOULD THINK IT'D BE LIKE FIFTY FIVE EXACTLY, I'M SITTING HERE AND I'M THINKING, DO WE HAVE SOMETHING IN MIND.

I MEAN IT'S SUCH.

IT'S PROBABLY THE NUMBER THAT BALANCED IT.

RIGHT, BUT BASED ON THE INCOME PROJECTIONS MINUS EXPENSES.

OH OKAY, YOU HEARD THAT BEFORE THE BALANCING NUMBER.

OK, OK.

GOT IT. I'M GOING TO WRITE IT DOWN.

SO I WON'T ASK IT AGAIN I THINK IT SHOULD BE MORE ROUNDED NEXT YEAR. I LIKE THE FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

ANY FINAL QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS 2.0? HEARING NONE WE'RE TO THAT PART OF THAT MEETING WHERE WE LIKE TO HEAR THE WORD ADJOURNMENT AT 7:21.

THANK YOU, GUYS.
